Speaker 1: quick rundown of the week's most fascinating stories involving death, disease,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: medicine and injury, making headlines and rippling through the pop culture.

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: We'll tease the cases here, then do a deep dive

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: into the pathology, forensics, and medical mysteries later in our

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: Normal Mother Knows Death episodes, in articles over in the

14
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: twenty two Idaho student murders. Gillard posted more than one

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: hundred TikTok videos, claiming, based on tarot readings, that Schofield

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: was involved. Jurors deliberated less than two hours before awarding

17
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: the professor damages, including seven point five million impunitive damages

18
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,000

00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: or guardian. The payments continue until the child turns eighteen

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: or graduates high school, and they are intended to offset

24
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: the long term financial impact on victim's families. Robert Bobby Edwards,

25
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,120

Speaker 1: on federal charges alleging he res received child sexual abuse material.

27
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Investigators say the case began with an undercover online probe

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: any affiliation with him. A California man has been arrested

32
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: after surveillance video llegedly shows him spraying insect repellent onto

33
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: his roommate's food and kitchen items. The couple became suspicious

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: after months of unexplained illness and installed cameras, which police

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: say captured the acts. He now faces felony food poisoning charges.

39
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: found no water in the child's lunges or stomach, suggesting

40
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: she was likely dead before entering the water. Prosecutors now

41
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: alleged the drowning with stage, while the pediatrician has pled

42
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: not guilty. In one of the most disturbing competency rulings

43
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: in recent memory, a judge found a murdered defendant competent

44
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: to stand trial after he removed his own eyeballs while

45
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: in custody. A mental health expert described a defendant during

46
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: an interview as quote cooperative, polite, apathetic, depressed, and hopeless,

47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,119

Speaker 1: A twelve year old Los Angeles girl died after her

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: family says another student struck her in the head with

50
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: a metal water bottle at school. She later developed severe

51
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: headaches and was found to have a brain hemorrhage, ultimately

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: dying about ten days after the incident. Police are investigating

53
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: the case as a possible homicide. Human remains believed to

54
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: belong to a Florida mother named Mary lew Comb's have

55
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,200

Speaker 1: Palm Coast, buried upside down in about fourteen to seventeen

59
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,479

Speaker 1: children's items, her driver's license, and bones, including one with

61
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: a metal plate consistent with a prior ankle surgery that

62
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: she had, which strongly supports the identification. DNA testing is

63
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: still pending official confirmation. Authorities currently believe Combs may have

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: accidentally driven into the water, though the medical examiner will

65
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: make the final determination. The discovery comes after decades of

66
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,080

00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: test results became a focal point in court defense attorneys

71
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: are now challenging the blood alcohol concentration interpretation and other

72
