According to reports. This is what 34 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: we know right now.

Now, Bareth, as you know, 38 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: just twenty nine flight instruct a mother of a little girl, 39 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: has been missing since Thanksgiving. Now. According to sources, everything 40 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: unfolded very rapidly in just the last hours. Police are 41 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: now saying, Alan that they no longer believe Kelsey is alive. 42 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: And I've got to tell you this is hitting me 43 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: and so many other moms across the country really hard 44 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: as we all are getting ready for the holiday season, 45 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about Kelsey's little girl who will not 46 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: have mommy or daddy at Christmas. Now. Only afternoon of 47 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: November twenty two, Phrasie claimed he picked up the daughter 48 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: Kelly from Beareth, and police see after that the only 49 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: signs of Beareth were text messages from her cell phone 50 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: that pinged off a cell phone tower all the way 51 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: eight hundred miles away in Gooding, Idaho. And coincidentally, those 52 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: two texts were only two Kelsey's mother and to the fiancee. Allan, 53 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: you and I both thought it thought it very unusual 54 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: that the police would release the contents of the text 55 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: to the mom excuse me, the boss, but not to 56 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: the fiancee. And the text to the boss was saying 57 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: I won't be in for a week. So I'm guessing, Alan, 58 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: if I were to give an educated guess that police 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: managed to get ping evidence that we have been discussing 60 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: at i'm online dot com and crime Stories for the 61 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: past week, ping evidence possibly placing Phrasie's phone at the 62 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: same location as that mystery ping eight hundred miles away. 63 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: That's the best and most educated investigative guests I could 64 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: give right now, But we wait for this all to unfold, 65 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: and we also are trying to find out who has 66 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: baby Kelly. It's just a big disappointment. The search for 67 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: Kelsey Beareth has ended. Police now say they are on 68 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: a mission to find her remains. Alan Frazy was taken 69 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: into custody at his Teller County, Colorado home Friday morning, 70 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: and court documents reveal he's charged with first degree murder. 71 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: Investigators say they don't believe that Kelsey Beareth is alive, 72 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: missing since Thanksgiving Day, Kelsey was seen on security camera 73 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: video with her one year old daughter shopping at a 74 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: Safeway grocery store in Woodland Park that day.

The arrest comes hours after investigators from 77 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the Woodland Park Police Department, 78 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: and FBI returned to Barrett's home Thursday night. They were 79 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: seen bringing large brown bags out of the home but 80 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: it's unclear what was inside. They searched Phrase's thirty five 81 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: acre ranch last weekend, but they didn't find any signs 82 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: of the missing woman. This was Woodland Park Police Chief 83 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: Miles to Young a week ago telling reporters about their suspicions. Then, 84 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: based on information developed during the course of this investigation, 85 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: and because of the length of time it's been twenty 86 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: three days that has passed since Kelsey was last seen, 87 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: our investigators believe that Kelsey's disappearance is more suspicious and 88 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: that she is not intentionally of avoiding efforts to find her. 89 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: We are looking at all avenues and our focus is 90 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: on finding Kelsey. Investigators of Team to search warrant today 91 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: correction yesterday on a property nearby in Teller County, Colorado. 92 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: That search is currently being conducted. This property is where 93 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Frazie is known to reside. Authorities say the one 94 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: year old daughter who was in Phrasie's custody until his 95 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: arrest is safe, and they're saying very little about that arrest. 96 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: The arrest warrant is sealed and Phrasie's first appearance in 97 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: court has not been set. A big question now if 98 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Phrasie is guilty. Will he do what Colorado dad Chris 99 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: Watts did recently? Will he reveal where his victim's body 100 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: is hidden. Watts, who finally admitted to murdering his pregnant wife, 101 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: Shannon and their two young daughters in August, is serving 102 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: several prison sentences, but he avoided the death penalty prosecution 103 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: by ultimately cooperating with investigators and taking a police from prosecutors. 104 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: For the latest on the search for Kelsey Barrett and 105 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: the evidence against her fiance, go to Nancy Grace's crime 106 00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: and justice website crime online dot Com Crime Stories with 107 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, CPS and sais. The boy was just fine 108 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: when they visited five weeks ago, but you have information 109 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: about prior abuse this boy has suffered for a long 110 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: long time. Tell us well the abuse that we've seen, 111 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: of course, as the starvation. We don't know exactly when, 112 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: but we do know that the child was tasered by 113 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: the father. There was an obviously verbal abuse, physical abuse. 114 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: He pushed the child, He punished the child by putting 115 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the child in the corner, and when the child acted up, 116 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: swam the child's head against the wall, causing bruises. The 117 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: prior abuse six months ago, during the summer in Texas, 118 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: he left the child in a hot car. The two 119 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: front winners were rolled down but one inch. It was 120 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: ninety eight degrees and the tenant of the house where 121 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the father was doing remodeling work contacted the landlord. The 122 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: landlord called CPS, and CPS was involved when they saw 123 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: the child. Allegedly, what I heard was the child was 124 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: completely read all over, sweating just profusely, and a great distress, 125 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: and the CPS did not take the child away. Five 126 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: weeks ago here in Houston, the CPS was called again 127 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: allegedly by the babysitter and the child had the starving. 128 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how long the child has been starved, 129 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: but probably abuse happened either around that time or after 130 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: that time, where the taser, the starvation, pushing the child 131 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: and locking the child in the closet and leaving, you know, 132 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: is what's been going on. What's what we're just learning about. 133 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Oh would the phrase rot in hell be too harsh, 134 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: because I don't think so. This little boy, just five 135 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: years old, was starved, forced to wear a diaper lock 136 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: can they quote Harry Potter room under the stairs. This 137 00:08:51,160 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: little boy, now nine, only way twenty nine pounds when 138 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: he was found twenty nine pounds. You know, at that 139 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: age I always refer to my son John David is 140 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: my little horse. He already weighed, oh my goodness up 141 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: in the seventies and Lucy in the fifties at least, 142 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: and she's very slight. This little boy only weighed twenty 143 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: nine pounds. In fact, doctors compared him and his state 144 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: of malnourishment to a Holocaust survivor. How many times does 145 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: it take to call CPS Child Protective Services or de 146 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: FACTS Department of Family Children's Services before they actually do something. 147 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: They are absolutely worthless. And if you're listening CPS, there 148 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: I said it. This little boy locked in a closet 149 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: the Hairy Potter room, forced to wear a diaper. If 150 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: you could see the photos that I am looking at, 151 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: his ribs are literally sticking out. He looks like a 152 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: skeleton with skin on it. They forced him to live 153 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:13,239 Speaker 1: in a crawl space with exposed nails and wiring surrounding 154 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: a lone mattress on the floor. You know, there is 155 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: no punishment that suits these two. I mean, see Grace, 156 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: this is crime stories.

The only food he was given 172 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: a piece of bread that his siblings would sneak into him. 173 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: How he survived, I do not know. His body completely emaciated, 174 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: unbelievable that he survived, As you said, no punishment too good, 175 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: And now we are learning his siblings Alison and Cody 176 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: recall the moment they opened the cupboard this crawl space 177 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: and called police, ultimately saving his life. Cody said he 178 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: quote freaked out when one day he opened the closet 179 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: and he saw the state that Jordan was in. His 180 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:23,119 Speaker 1: face was actually caved in, bruises all over his body, marks, bruises. 181 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: His mouth was foaming. What does that mean to Josice 182 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: Scott Morgan death investigator Jessicot, what does it mean when 183 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: your mouth is starting to foam? In this particular case, 184 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: this child is literally digesting his own body. So when 185 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: you see this foaming from the mouth, what is happening 186 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: is this child is going into acute respiratory failure. You 187 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: get many times, you'll get this cone that will that 188 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: will appear, Lungs begin to break down, Tissue begins to 189 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: break down all throughout the body. A horrible, horrible way 190 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: to die. Take a listen to this. She was convicted 191 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: of leaving her stepson, who was then five years old, 192 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: inside a closet and basically starved him to death. The 193 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: women's biological children took the stand and told the court 194 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: that their stepbrother was denied food as punishment. Now four 195 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: years ago, the siblings found their then five year old 196 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: stepson inside a locked closet under the stairs inside a 197 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: Spring home, and pictures showed how malnourished the little boy was. 198 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: The siblings also say that the boy was foaming at 199 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: the mouth inside the closet, which had exposed nails and wires. 200 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: They also said they could hear the sounds of the 201 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: child's father shocking him with a taser. The resting agency 202 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: at the time was a Harris County Preescinct four Constable's office, 203 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: and the father, Bradley Blimeyer. He was convicted back in 204 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and sentenced to fifteen years behind bars. Wait 205 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: a minute, these two already had records, Nicole Parton, they did, Nancy. 206 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: They both had records. They had both been previously investigated 207 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: by CPS. Unbelievable that they still had children. Now step 208 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: mom was pregnant with yet another child. I can't get it. 209 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't understand that. You're right, bloom I hear was 210 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: six months pregnant at the time. Joining me right now. 211 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Francy Haggs, former federal prosecutor, federal czar in charge of 212 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: child protection. Francy, could somebody explain to me why these 213 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: two had a record for mistreating children and they still 214 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: had the baby. They still had Jordan, just five years old, beaten, bruised, 215 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: forced to live in a crawl space, forced to wear 216 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: nothing but a diaper, and if he was lucky, the 217 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: brother or sister could sneak him one piece of bread 218 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: a day if he was lucky. Usually the brother and 219 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: sister were too afraid of their mom of the mom 220 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: to give him anything. So this child was so malnourished 221 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: he was actually foaming at the mouth near death. That's 222 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: what you see when a person dies of starvation, they 223 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: foam at the mouth. I learned that the hard way. Well, Nancy, 224 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: I think I can't explain it to you. Actually, it's 225 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: all about incompetence. It is what we have going on 226 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: in this country throughout the country. For CPS services in 227 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: every state in this country. Their emphasis is on family reunification, 228 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: and I think that means they just ignore the signs 229 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: and children pay the price. Children don't have lobbyists, children 230 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: don't have lawyers, and so children pay the price of 231 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: evil people who are free to abuse them and a 232 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: system who just doesn't care. Custody, hearing and regarding a 233 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: six week old baby boy into today without a decision 234 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: from the judge. That boy's mother is facing criminal charges 235 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: related to a horrible child abuse case in Spring. I 236 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: would just use supporter Tracy Clemens is live with the 237 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: latest on the fate of the child. Tracy. It's Hammy 238 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: Blameyer's parents are asking the court for custody their newest 239 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: grandchild and his six siblings, but a decision on that 240 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: is on hold at least until the end of the month. 241 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: And obviously emotional, Tammy Blimeyer said four words to us today. 242 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Miss six of her children were taken after she and 243 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: her estranged husband, Bradley Blimeyer were charged with child endangerment 244 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: in March. They allegedly kept her five year old steps 245 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: On Jordan, in a diaper and a closet inside their 246 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: Spring home. Tammy's attorney, Manny Kayata, says she was a victim, 247 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: possibly of domestic abuse. Only from the testimony we heard 248 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,359 Speaker 1: Bradley was very controlling, very prone to violence, and very intimidating. 249 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: May have had weapons, and I've heard tell that he 250 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: told people not to speak about what was going on. 251 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: He threatened. Tammy gave birth to a little boy six 252 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and in lieu of her child endangerment charge. 253 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: A judge issued a writ last week ordering her to 254 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: surrender baby William to CPS when they couldn't find her, 255 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: and amber alert was issued. Not served with the rid. 256 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: The first time that she got served was when the 257 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: SWAT team surrounded her yesterday and took the baby. Tammy 258 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: wants her kids back. We'd like to see that baby returns. 259 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: She's still breastfeed But today's hearing focused on her parents, 260 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: who are seeking custody of all seven children. Her mother, 261 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: Karen Dunn, took the stand. She's the one who called 262 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: CPS in March to report that Jordan Blimeyer was being abused. 263 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: She told the court that she made the call even 264 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: though she didn't think Tammy would let her see any 265 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: of her grandchildren anymore. Okay, yeah, nobody in that family 266 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: should have any of these children. We are talking about 267 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: the Timmy Blimeyer case. A little boy just five years old, 268 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: forced to live in a crawl space start to the 269 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: point he was foaming at the mouth. That's what happens 270 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: in the hours just before you die. You lose control 271 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: of your faculties. You might have bowel movements, you might urinate, 272 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: you foam at the mouth. Your body is dying. This 273 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: child can in bruises and cuts, living in a crawl space, 274 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: the only thing in their alone mattress. And every day 275 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: the parents would walk by that locked door time after 276 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: time after time, knowing little Jordan was inside, and she 277 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: wants her children back over my cold dead body. Rigor 278 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: set in my fingers, clutching her throat. To doctor Bethany Marshall, 279 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: renowned la psycho analysts, I don't get it, Bethany. And 280 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: I learned this anecdotally, which means, you know, like by 281 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: stories or real life incidents, not statistics I read in 282 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: a book. I would notice when children were abused very often, 283 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: not every time, but very often, one child would be 284 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: the target, one child would be molested. Of course, there 285 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: are plenty of cases when all the children would be 286 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: molested or abused, but in a lot of cases the 287 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: parents would target one child and the other children would 288 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: be treated all right. And here is his mother's You 289 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: already got six children and just had another baby, and 290 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: she's like, oh, why are you taking my baby? Because 291 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: you starved Jordan half dead, that's why, why Bethany Nancy 292 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: I've written. I wrote my doctoral dissertation on a young 293 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: woman I saw who grew up in a family where 294 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: her mother hated, starved, deprived, and tortured her, but loved 295 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: her younger sibling. And in a review of the literature, 296 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: one of the things I noticed is that there's so 297 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: many families that choose one child to love and one 298 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: child to hate. But boy, the child that gets the 299 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: hatred really gets at starvation, torture, beating. You covered a 300 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: story on your shore show years ago of a little 301 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: boy that was chained to a coffee table and he 302 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: would have to sit at the foot of the coffee 303 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: table watching his older siblings eat these wonderful meals. That 304 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: was one of the forms of torture that the family 305 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: inflicted upon him. I think with this family, first of all, 306 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: they're having child after child. It's like they're growing a cult. 307 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: They leave little Jordan in a hot car, it's like 308 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: they wanted to kill him. In milder cases of child abuse, 309 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: the adults feel that the needs of the child, that 310 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: the child is bad for having needs. They think the 311 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: child's greedy, trying to take things or extort things from 312 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: the family. Often they'll put padlocks on the refrigerator because 313 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: they are afraid that the child will get up in 314 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the night and eat food. But in 315 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: this case, this family, I think they took it one 316 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: step further where they actually took delight in torturing the child. 317 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: They were sadists. Nancy Any, Wait a minute, doctor Bethany Marshall. 318 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: I know you are a very well known I'm famous 319 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: Elie's psychoanalyst, but when you throw around psycho terms like sadist, 320 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: not everybody lives in your world of massashism. And when 321 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: you say something like sadist, please explain that. I mean, 322 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: hold on, I just got to ask Ambramer question Am 323 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: Bremner with me, high profile Seattle lawyer. Don't you just 324 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: love it? Or at least I always do. When I'd 325 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: be trying a case and I get on the elevator 326 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: and there'd be other lawyers on there, and they'd be 327 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: spouting off like Latin terms and kind of like showing 328 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: off their legal knowledge, you know, juries, and regular people 329 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: like us don't like that, okay, because hey, we don't 330 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 1: know Latin and it's kind of a I'm smarter than 331 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: you thing. Not you, doctor Bethany, would never say that 332 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: about you. But of course, don't you just love that 333 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: when the other side is doing it. I would just 334 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: always smile on the inside, you know, I wouldn't dare smiling, court, 335 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: false union, falseless and clarity. There you go. I was 336 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: just saying, don't do that, and you did it. I 337 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. What does that mean? 338 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: Faults and fat all? Okay? What? Okay? Why did I 339 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: go to her, Bethany? I lost my head. Explain to 340 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: me what you mean by their sadist Sadism is when 341 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: an individual takes pleasure in inflicting pain upon another person. 342 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: We see this with serial killers. They don't just shoot 343 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: the victim or or hit them on the back of 344 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: the head. They face them while they're strangling them so 345 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: they can see the pain in their eyes. They love 346 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: inflicting pain. It's arousing, it's satisfying and makes them feel good. 347 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: So I would imagine, do you connect everything to sex, Bethany, 348 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: because you know, well I remember starting our HLN show 349 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: every night when you would be on and Dean my 350 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: then executive producer, and would have a bed. How long 351 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: it would take you to connect whatever happened to what 352 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: a sexual sato massacism. I don't care what it was, 353 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: there would be a way. And actually, when you'd say 354 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: it would make perfect Okay, not saying you wrong because 355 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: I'm just a trial lawyer. Okay, you're the famous shrink, 356 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: not me. But how can you get joy or as 357 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: you say, arousal out of baiting a child? And I 358 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: don't know, all of a sudden it just hit me. 359 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: I thought of somebody pushing John David or Lucy in 360 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: a crawl space, a dark crawl space, and making them 361 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: stay there for years with nothing but a mattress in 362 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: getting one piece of bread to day. How can you 363 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: get joy from that? Nancy teasing the little boy exposed it. 364 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: I gotta take this mic off and go straight and 365 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: check on the children because it has me so upset. 366 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: How do you get joy from that? You know it's complicated, 367 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: but I would say I think of sociopathy, where the sociopath, 368 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: not even a sociopath, a psychopath. One of the things 369 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: that delineates the psychopath from the sociopath is the infliction 370 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: of pain. That they get pleasure out of inflict pain, 371 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: And the reason for this is that they have very 372 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: empty inner lives. I know this sounds bizarre the way 373 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: I'm saying it, but it's true. And there's something about 374 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: inflicting pain that makes them feel alive better than the other. 375 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: They're glad they're not in that other person's position. And 376 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: in this case, this father and this family may have 377 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: felt almost like a cult leader, like he's, you know, 378 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: churning out child after child, and he's the king of 379 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: them all, and they're all frightened, and it makes him 380 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: feel better. Then it makes him feel good, and you know, 381 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: Sadism is one of the five perversions here, I'm taking 382 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: it back to sex again, but it is one of 383 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: the five person perversions, so it's very linked with deviant sexuality, 384 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: So I think of it. What are the other perversions? 385 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: Just curious? Okay, Sadism, it's actually Jackie wants to go 386 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: ahead bysm looking at an unsuspecting person, exhibitionism exposing oneself 387 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: in public, frauderism which is rubbing oneself up against an 388 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: unsuspecting person in public, sadism, and pedophilia, which is having 389 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: sex with children.

Well, whenever happened to Jordan happened within a 414 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: small time frame. My life was just so busy with 415 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: the other kids. I mean I had one one baby, 416 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: I was still breastfeeding, I was pregnant at the time, 417 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: and I had five of my own children that I 418 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: was taking a doctor's appointments. You know, band soccer bride 419 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: was responsible for taking care of Jordan and everywhere that 420 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: he went, Jordan went to. But you were this child's stepmother. 421 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: He was living in your home. Do you not look 422 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: back and say, how did I miss this? I do 423 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: all the time. What do you say to yourself about that? 424 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: I asked myself the same questions, How do you miss 425 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: something like that? I mean, you can't go back, you 426 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: can't change it. But you know, you think about everything 427 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: that you do every day, and you think about all 428 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: the chaos and everything going on and every but he 429 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: in and out? Who was responsible for feeding this child? Right? 430 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: Did you know he wasn't feeding him? I mean, it's 431 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: obviously malnourished, He's obviously dehydrated. We know now from the 432 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: medical records that they had to start a refeeding process 433 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: with him on a tube. He could only process three 434 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: hundred calories at a time. He was so malnourished. And 435 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: I didn't understand any of that because I did see 436 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: him eat, and he was eating. When the police showed up, 437 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: I gave him food myself. Oh my stars, you are 438 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: hearing our friend doctor phel who actually goes on a 439 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: tour of the home. This little boy, just five years old, 440 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: was starved, forced to wear a diaper, locked in a 441 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: quote Harry Potter room under the stairs, weighing just twenty 442 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: nine pounds. Listen, this is the closet. Now. What's interesting 443 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: about it is if you open it, and I'm probably 444 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna it's actually off the hinge and you may have 445 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: to do it all right. Let me see that it's 446 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: off his hinge and it's been that way for quite 447 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: a while. It comes open, got it, got it? And 448 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: then if you go back here, let me help you 449 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: with it. How long have these clothes they stay here? 450 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: But back here if you move all of the stuff, 451 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: which is why it's it's just ridiculous that the sixteen 452 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: year old says that this is where he stayed. There's 453 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: baby clothes and baby items, all right, So this is 454 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: the stairway because it's slanted there. Okay, so this is 455 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: what maybe four by three. What the sixteen year old 456 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: was saying is that Jordan actually had to stay in 457 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: that room back in here, right, And as you can see, 458 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: not possibly. And these are all the one year old 459 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: because this is where it's basically her closet. And I 460 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: think you can see the plastic dwars where all of 461 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: her stuff is. So for her to get to one 462 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: year old stuff, she went under a solid row of clothes, 463 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: cut down on her knees, opened this and got stuff 464 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: up for a one year and have six kids. You 465 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: do what you can. I can show you also, I 466 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: mean this is where some of her kid's shoes are. 467 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: She keeps her shoes in the living room over there, 468 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: and her clothes in a closet upstairs. So Tammy's position 469 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,719 Speaker 1: that this child was never kept in this closet, never 470 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: kept in the class, never punished by being put in 471 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: this clouse, never punished, was never in here, never in 472 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: this coming gold crawl space. It didn't happen. What you 473 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: hear a woman defending how the boy was kept and 474 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: saying how big the claws it was. And it wasn't 475 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: as it was described, Nicole Parton. The cops got there 476 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: and they found where the boy was living, and it 477 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: was exactly as we are saying, alone mattress in there. 478 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: The boy starved within hours of death, foaming at the mouth, 479 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: forced to wear nothing but a diaper at age five, 480 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: covered and cuts and bruises. Describe the scene, Nicole Parton, 481 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: Nicole Parton joining me, reported with crime online dot Com. 482 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Nicole, It was exactly as we have been describing. 483 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: They found this tiny scraw cross space underneath the stairwell. 484 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: You can imagine the tiny size of this little hole 485 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: where he was being forced to stay. Nothing in the 486 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: room except a lone mattress, nails protruding out of the 487 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: walls and out of the roof because he's living in 488 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: a stairwell and unfinished room, so there's no sheet rock, 489 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: there's nothing like that to protect him. Wires hanging down 490 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: his body, fully emaciated, bruises, sores, It was exactly as 491 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: we are describing. Unbelievable. Some authorities say it was the 492 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: worst condition they had ever seen a little boy who 493 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: was steel alive. Listen, where was this closet in the house, 494 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to your understanding, underneath the stairs. This is how they 495 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: were able to hide him with the CPS and the 496 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: police came out. They had an extra little room inside 497 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: of the room in the closet, and it was just 498 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: a small, little cubbyhole. But if you put stuff in 499 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: front of it, you can't even tell that there's a 500 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: door there. The children called it the Harry Potter room 501 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: because it was hidden. What did he tell you about 502 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: the closet? I asked him if he had a bed, 503 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: and that's when he told me he had one upstairs, 504 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: but not downstairs. And I asked him to have a 505 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: blanket and he said no. I said, what about a pillow? No. 506 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: I asked him if he had gone to a doctor 507 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: or a dentist, and he told me no. I understand that. 508 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: He said that he was locked up with a padlock 509 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: under the stairs, given drugs to sleep. When people came 510 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: over to the house, I was told by some of 511 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: Brad and Hamley's family friends that they were giving Jordan 512 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: adhd medication. I was also told that they were giving 513 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: him antidepressants to keep him groggy. So that when police 514 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: or anything came over, so they just didn't have to 515 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: deal with him, but not let him out. Just they 516 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: told the other children in the house that if they 517 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: went down there and tried to help him, that they 518 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: would get hurt too. And Bremner joining me, high profile 519 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: Seattle lawyer, this type of case is one of her 520 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: many specialties. And Bremner, what's crazy is when you look 521 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: at their home, the yard as well kept or shrubs 522 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: and bushes, the home looks fine. Neighbors had no idea 523 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: what was going on. And if you look at this stepmother, Blimeyer, 524 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: Timmy Blimeyer, she looks like a soccer mom that would 525 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: pull up at some fancy private school and pick up 526 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: for kids. You would never know she's starving and beating 527 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: a child to death and letting this this new stepfather 528 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Oh absolutely, and with CPS knew. 529 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing is I think we need 530 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: in every Their worthless CPS is worthless. I really think 531 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: they should be criminally charged as well, because they had 532 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: been to the home and they left the boy that queen. 533 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: You know, when we see often in many states, including mine, 534 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: where their emphasis is on reunifying families any costs and 535 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: not the best interests of the child. And you know, 536 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: I have the Susan Cox pal case where that exactly 537 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: that happened. Remember where Josh, you know, it was found 538 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: with those kids. He was responsible for Susan's disappearance, for 539 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: her homicide, but judge had found that. And he was 540 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: living in a home with a news hanging from the 541 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: ceiling with his dad with all the porn remember Stephen Pallett, 542 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: all this porn and pictures of Susan, etc. And he 543 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: was the suspect and his wife's disappearance. Nevertheless, CPS led 544 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: him visit with those boys and he killed him with 545 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: the hatchet and blew up the house. You know, and 546 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: you look at things like that and you think, what 547 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: you know, reason dictates that is there's danger. You take 548 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: those kids, you don't let them be with that parent. 549 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: And so shame on CPS. And like he said, they 550 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: should be criminally responsible as well. And what really drives 551 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: me crazy to Francie Haiks Guys Francie Haiks former federal prosecutor, 552 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: typically on the other side of the fence from Anne Bremner. 553 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: But Francy Haiggs was appointed as the federal for the 554 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: entire United States Czar for Child Protection, Francy Higgs. It's 555 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: amazing to me that nobody on the outside knew what 556 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: was going on, and how these people could walk by 557 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: that closet every single day knowing that Jordan was in 558 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: their starving. You know, Nancy, your prosecutor's instincts are still 559 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: dead on, because that's exactly what I would have argued 560 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: to the jury in this case, talking about how many 561 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: times every single day that those parents walked by that 562 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: closet and neglected their child. How every single acts, every 563 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: single minute of that neglect should have been a new 564 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: charge of abuse. It doesn't surprise me that the neighbors 565 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: didn't know, because you can keep a child in the closet. 566 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: How are the neighbors supposed to know? But who is 567 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: charged with knowing, Nancy, Who is supposed to be protecting 568 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: that child besides his parents? The government, The government agency 569 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: in charge of making sure we don't abuse our children, 570 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: Child Protective Services, de facts and they utterly and absolutely failed. 571 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: I can't help but agree with you. I don't think 572 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: they'll be criminally charged, but boy, wouldn't I like to 573 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 1: look at the statutes in that stake, This little boy, 574 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: just five years old, was starved, forced to wear a 575 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: diaper lock can they quote Harry Potter room under the 576 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: stairs the boy little Jordan, weighing just twenty nine pounds. 577 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: Listen to what happened in court jury heavy Tammy Blimeier 578 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: guilty of injury to a child. Her face buried in 579 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: her hands as the judge read Tammy Blimeyer's feet and 580 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: can find in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department 581 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: Criminal Justice. For twenty eight years, Blimeyer nearly starved to 582 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: death her then five year old steps on and kept 583 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: him in a small closet under the stairs. Once the 584 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: judge read the sentence, Blameyer's children were overcome with mixed 585 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 1: emotions inside the courtroom, her eighteen year old son Cody, 586 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: speaking on behalf of his siblings during the victim impact statement. 587 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: History here give made a big mistake and ultimately at 588 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: the big consequences. I'm up here to ask a rhetorical 589 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: question of how how would you put all that? Her 590 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: twenty one year old son Dylan, notified authorities of torture 591 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: also spoke and ever forget all the good things that happened, 592 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: and the good things that you did for us, I 593 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: hope that you take care of yourself and fix whatever. 594 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: Harris County District Attorney's Office is calling this sentence justice. 595 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: This was a very bittersweet moment. Jordan suffered a very 596 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: terrible injury at the hands of his biological father and 597 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: Tammy Blimeyer, and as you heard, Jordan's biological father played 598 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: a part in his abuse. He fled guilty in twenty 599 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: sixteen and was sentenced to fifteen years behind bars. Jordan 600 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: is now staying with his biological mother. When I walked 601 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: into that room, the child laying in that bed had 602 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: the same eyes, and the same smile and the same voice, 603 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: but he did not look like the baby that I 604 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: had seen two years before that, and it to burn 605 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: my heart up. What did you say to him when 606 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: you first saw him? I told him that I missed 607 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: him so much, and then I promised that I would 608 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: never never be away from him again. You know, the 609 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: sister and brother, Cody and Alison, actually testified against the 610 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: evil mother, Timmy Blimeyer, in a horrific child abuse case, 611 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: and they described had their five year old old step brother, Jordan, 612 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: ago days and days and days without food unless they 613 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: managed to sneak a tiny piece of bread to him 614 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: and reth the wrath of their mom and stepdad. They 615 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: say how they wished someone would have acted sooner, they 616 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: were too afraid to. They had reached out to teachers 617 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: and friends to tell them about the little brother, but 618 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: nobody seemed to do anything. The dad, Brad Blamire, would 619 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: beat and starve and even taser baby Jordan for no 620 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: reason at all, keeping him a lot in a cold, 621 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: dark hole within a cupboard under the stairs. It wasn't 622 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: even big enough for Jordan to stand up in. Slowly, 623 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: Jordan had everything stripped away from him, food, clothes, even 624 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: his pillow in blanket. He would be left wearing nothing 625 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: but a diaper in that tiny crawl space, surrounded by 626 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: nails and exposed wires. His brothers and sister would say 627 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: he would quote disappear for days, to the extent they 628 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: would think he was out of the house, but actually 629 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: he was locked in his tiny room is jail telle. 630 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: That's called the Harry Potter cupboard because it's in under 631 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: a crawl space. I just don't understand it, the brother says. 632 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: The day I opened the closet and saw him in 633 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: the worst shape I had ever seen him in. I'm 634 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: just overwhelmed in a diaper covered in bruises and scrapes, 635 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: and on the back of his head. Jackie and I 636 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: are looking at a picture right now. You see a 637 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 1: huge bruise on the back of his head that looks 638 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: like it's been bleeding. She said, the sixteen year old 639 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: doesn't respect the father, so he's lying about the abuse. Yeah, 640 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: that's what they told everybody, But about sixteen year old, 641 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: he's a hero. If he wouldn't have done for my 642 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: son what he did and allowed himself to be beaten 643 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: up by Bradley because he was trying to help Jordan, 644 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: my son, we would probably be having a funeral for 645 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: him right now. And he picked him up. He picked 646 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: Jordan up and gave him to his sister Alison, And 647 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 1: it's just amazing to me. I'm looking at a photo 648 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: of the little boy they took for trial purposes, and 649 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: his legs looked like bones with skin on them. You know, 650 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: the other children are also mistreated to a tiny degree, 651 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany. For instance, the mom would take away the 652 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: brother and sister's cell phones and not let them communicate 653 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: with the outside world. So is there any way, Bethany, 654 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: that this woman could be rehabilitated, Not that I care, 655 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to Rotten Hill. No, she cannot be rehabilitated, Nancy. 656 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: This pattern of abuse reminds me of an adult female, 657 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: a mother who came to my practice who was very 658 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: preoccupied with talking about her thirteen year old daughter, and 659 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: she was obsessed with the perimeter of the daughter's room, 660 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: the idea that the daughter sometimes crossed the threshold to 661 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: come out into the hallway, or would look out the 662 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: screen window because boys would come to the screen window. 663 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: And there was all these thoughts about the daughter escaping. 664 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: And I eventually realized about two sessions in that the 665 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: mother had actually jailed the daughter in her bedroom. With 666 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: all this obsessional content about the daughter escaping or getting away. Well, 667 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: needless to say, I had to call a CPSS, and 668 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: it was a big deal. But I think this idea 669 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: that you're going to escape, you're my property. I own you. 670 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: If you get out into the world, something bad is 671 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: going to happen. These types of thoughts predominate for abuse 672 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: of parents, so I am not surprised that they took 673 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: away the other children's cell phones, and probably Nancy, I mean, 674 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,240 Speaker 1: Cody and Alison were probably so brainwashed by their parents. 675 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: The fact that they actually told teachers and helped to 676 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: save their little brother is it's just so admirable to me, 677 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: because many siblings don't. They're just simply too afraid. Listen 678 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: to this. This is from the brother. When he picked 679 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: up Jordan, quote, it was like I wasn't holding anything. 680 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 1: He was so light. It wasn't like holding a kid 681 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: at all. He was so white, and his cheeks were sunken, 682 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: and he smelled terrible. I hadn't seen him in offer 683 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: a week before this, and he was scared and he 684 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't know what was happening, and I told him everything 685 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: would be okay. He describes that the stepdad was aggressive 686 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: with baby Jordan, and it was quote like he was 687 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: trying to make Jordan's suffer. And I thought it was weird, 688 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: but it started getting worse. He would hit him around 689 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: the back of the head, take off his belt and 690 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 1: hit him with the belt, throw him around, throw him 691 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: on the ground. With the food. It started being taking 692 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: one dinner away from him. Then it turned into dinner 693 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: and lunch, then it turned into nothing at all May 694 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: they both. Can I just say it one more time, 695 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: rot in Hell. They now recovering. I don't know if 696 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: he will ever recover emotionally and mentally, but this is 697 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: going on in homes all around the country. God help us. 698 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: Nancy Gray's Crime Story, signing off, Goodbye, Fred,
