What can you tell us out their relationship? 57 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 7: Well, it follows a pretty similar pattern, which is that 58 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 7: there's people are hearing, you know, fighting, that marriage is troubled, 59 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 7: but also she wants to leave him. It's bad enough 60 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 7: that she is going to take the kids to Texas 61 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 7: and this is always the most dangerous time when a 62 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 7: victim is trying to leave, and we know this from 63 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 7: the research. We also know that he had threatened suicide 64 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 7: and that's one of the twenty highest risk indicators for 65 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 7: domestic violent homicide. So you can start to put these 66 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 7: pieces together and a picture emerges that is every bit 67 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 7: as familiar as every domestic violent homicide that we see 68 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 7: across this country. 69 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 2: Rachel Louis Snyder is speaking, author of a new book, 70 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: No Visible Bruises.

A husband goes, 77 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna kill myself. 78 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: And yes, there are some female batterers, that's true, but 79 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: it's huge, huge, minuscule amount of domestic violence perps are 80 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: women compared to the number of men. 81 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 8: It's actually Japan. 82 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 9: It's actually a predictor of dB homicide, not abuse, not 83 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 9: just abuse speaking. 84 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 10: It's Kelsey. 85 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for telling me that you're hearing Kelsey McKay, 86 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: former prosecutor, victims rights lawyer, founder of McKay Training and 87 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: Consulting and Respond Against Violence nonprofit.

It's an 97 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 9: indicator of escillation towards domestic violence homicide. 98 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: You know what you two are making as perfect sense, 99 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: and anybody on the panel again, this is not high 100 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: t at Buckingham Palace.

But 173 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: what they heard, and their child filter was mommy was crying, 174 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: and they run next door and says, mommy's lying on. 175 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 3: I thought they said the floor, but they must have 176 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: said the big crying. 177 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: So they went in and they saw their mother dead 178 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: of a gunshot wound, a shotgun wound to the face, 179 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: and their child interpretation of that is mommy is crying 180 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: and won't get up and daddy is gone. 181 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: Doctor Charles Heller, Boy, do I need a shrink? You know? 182 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: Somehow I got to shake this whole thing off and 183 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 3: go be with my children after this. 184 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: And I'm trying to understand what happened. You are the 185 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: forensic psychologist. How do they translate? They see their mother 186 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: dead with a gunshot wound to the face, and in 187 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: their head they go, mommy's crying and she won't get. 188 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 13: Up, Nancy. These kids were traumatized when they heard the 189 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 13: gunshot and whatever came after that, they felt the mother 190 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 13: was alive. Is they don't really know that much about death. 191 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: They want her to be crying. They don't want her 192 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 2: to be bleeding from the face. To doctor Menisha Panday, 193 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Chief Forensic Pathologists for Forensic Pathologist LLC, The forensicpathologist dot com. 194 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: Doctor Menisia, thank you for being with us. Would she 195 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: have hey, wait, maybe she went through something else before 196 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: she was shot in the face. That would have elicited crying. 197 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: But doctor panday, that would be instantaneous, wouldn't it. 198 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 10: Yes, it's a devastating injury, especially if you're shot in 199 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 10: the face and you'll pretty much die instantaneously. 200 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: You know what's so interesting? They say, daddy's not home. 201 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: He was so angry that she was taking the children 202 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: to Texas that he left them there to find mommy. 203 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Listen to this video. 204 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 12: Surveillance from a neighbor shows Aaron Pennington leaving the driveway 205 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 12: forty two Cherry Street at about eight fifty am Sunday 206 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 12: morning in his white twenty thirteen BMW three twenty sedan. 207 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 12: The video also shows all four Pennington children leaving their 208 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 12: home together seventeen minutes after their father left the home, 209 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 12: with the children walking to the house next door. An 210 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 12: autopsy determined Brian Pennington's cause of death was a gunshot 211 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 12: wound to the head and the manner of her death 212 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 12: was homicide. 213 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: So to Leslie Morgan Steiner, advocate and survivor, author of 214 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: Crazy Love. 215 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: Which was a New York Times bestseller. 216 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 2: You can find her at lesliebooks dot com. Leslie, thank 217 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: you for being with us. He was so angry she 218 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: was taking the children away. He loved them so much 219 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: that he left them to find mommy dad. I mean, 220 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 2: what could be more traumatic than finding your mother dead. 221 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 14: It's an excellent example of how destructive and dangerous these 222 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 14: men are, and how skilled they are at hiding in 223 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 14: plain sight, and the ways in which our country gives 224 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 14: the benefit of the doubt to abusive and potentially lethal men. 225 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 14: And you know, the thing that I think was most 226 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 14: striking about this that other guests have commented upon is 227 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 14: the way that he tried to use pity as a 228 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 14: manipulation tool. And pity is an enormous red flag that 229 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 14: has not talked about enough in terms of abuse cases. 230 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: It's very rare. 231 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 14: For even family, friends and neighbors to see evidence of 232 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 14: physical violence occurring. But what you can see is an 233 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,119 Speaker 14: adult male who expects other people to feel. 234 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 10: Sorry for him. 235 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 14: That's why he made the suicide threats. That's why people 236 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 14: will often say about abusers that they were they seemed harmless, 237 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 14: they seemed so charming. It's because they're really skilled at 238 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 14: pulling your heart strings and making you think that they 239 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 14: deserve your pity and protection, when in fact they are 240 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 14: lethal weapons. And I survived gun violence and strangulation from 241 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 14: a man who I thought I loved so much, so 242 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 14: I know firsthand what it's like to live with somebody 243 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 14: who you begin to suspect is in danger of killing you. 244 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 14: And then, like this victim, you try to protect yourself 245 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 14: and your children by making a plan to leave to Texas, 246 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 14: and then it triggers their fragility and their rage and 247 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 14: their fear of abandonment, and they get a message from 248 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 14: society that if a woman is threatening to leave you, 249 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 14: it is somehow okay to kill her. That's what this 250 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 14: man was thinking. And this is what we see all 251 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 14: the time in domestic violence work. 252 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got to understand. These individuals are master magicians. 253 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: They are very at depth at making the general public, friends, family, 254 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 6: go with the smoke and mirrors. And while they continue 255 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 6: to portray themselves in this as the victim, really they 256 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 6: but when we when we when we dig down, when 257 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 6: we do a good assessment, when we look at everything 258 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 6: in context, we start pulling the mask off, you know, 259 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 6: they they engage in. Some of them don't even engage 260 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 6: in this in a lot of overt physical violence and 261 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 6: domestic violence, I think everybody on here would agree goes 262 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 6: much more beyond the physical. But the course of control 263 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 6: that these individuals engage in, which is a pattern of 264 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 6: behavior that unreasonably interferes with a person's free will and liberty. 265 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: You know something you just said, Corporal David R. 266 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: Thomas about how it's not just the beatings, and I'm 267 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: sure that all of our experts Rachel Louis Snyder, Leslie 268 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: Morgan Steiner, Don Wilcox, Kelsey. 269 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: It's not just the beatings, but it's. 270 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: The way that you live, and you don't really understand that. 271 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: Every day just excruciating stress. You're walking on edgshells. You 272 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: don't know what is going to set the person off 273 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: until you're free of it. 274 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: Then you look back and go, oh, my stars, that 275 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: was just hell. 276 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 2: Now, this guy leaves the children to find mommy, and 277 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: imagine a two, a five, a seven, and a nine 278 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: year old going next door because mommy is in bed 279 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: or on the floor crying. 280 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: But then he seemingly disappears. 281 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 12: Listen the day after Aaron Pennington was seen leaving his 282 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 12: house at about eight fifty am Sunday morning.

Now, 305 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: by the time we counted forty gators there, he had 306 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: to just pop up that much. 307 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: We weren't. 308 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 2: We were not a football field into the swamp, and 309 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: we had already counted forty gators and. 310 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 3: They were close. 311 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 2: I almost said turn this buggy around, but I trusted 312 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: Chris Adams, and I was right. And he has been 313 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: with me analyzing people living in the wild and survivalists, 314 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 2: oh gosh, ever since then. That's how much I believe 315 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: this guy. Chris Adams aka Turtleman. Explain the terrain and 316 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 2: how this guy could be surviving. I always think of 317 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: Eric Rudolph, the Olympic bomber, and how he survived for 318 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: years in the wild, eluding even the FBI. Tell me, 319 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: with this terrain, how could this guy be surviving? 320 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 15: Well, I tell you, it differs greatly from what I'm 321 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 15: familiar with, but not so much that a person couldn't 322 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 15: go out there and hide for a few days. Mostly 323 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 15: what I'm seeing from images up that way or pine 324 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 15: bearings around that lake. There are some brushy, marshy areas, 325 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 15: but Lake wampano Egg is a fairly good sized lake. 326 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 15: If he could hide in those little little nooks and 327 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 15: crannies along the way, it would be easy to stay concealed. 328 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 15: But right now, one thing he's contending with is the weather. 329 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 15: I've noticed the weather over about the last week, for instance, 330 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 15: today is not going to get much more above thirty 331 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 15: five thirty six degrees up there person on the run 332 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 15: or even getting any bit of moisture on themselves without 333 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 15: being able to stay dry and suffer hypothermia pretty quickly. 334 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 15: So it's up in the air. 335 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: I don't know how much he planned, but stay with me, guys, 336 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: I know he did plan to murder her in the 337 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: ultimate act of domestic violence. 338 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: Listen. 339 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 12: Investigators found a note from Saturday evening, the night before 340 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 12: his wife's body was found in their shared bedroom. She 341 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 12: was dead from a shot to the face. The note, 342 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 12: found on Aaron Pennington's cell phone said, quote, don't say anything, 343 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 12: be quiet. If she wakes up, just say you're getting 344 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 12: nasal spray. Get on side of bed, very close proximity 345 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 12: on bed. Put hole in her head. 346 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 3: Put hole in her head? Where was this found? 347 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 2: That part of your phone You may or may not 348 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: ever use it where you can write notes to yourself, note. 349 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: To self and Nancy put hole in her head? Who 350 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: is this? 351 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 8: This is gone? And you know, if I said to 352 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 8: you a woman was executed today in the world, right, 353 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 8: you'd probably say, oh, yeah, and Iran or Turkey or Iraq. 354 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 8: But women are executed in the United States on a 355 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 8: daily basis. Her right to leave was secondary to his 356 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 8: right to execute her for it. And his note shows 357 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 8: that even though we like to frame domestic violence murders 358 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 8: as quote, he just snapped, they're often meticulously premeditated. The 359 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 8: man sitting across from you at the breakfast table eating 360 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 8: cheerios is plotting your murder. It's shocking but prevalent. 361 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: And it's interesting that you said many people think, oh, 362 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: he just snapped. There is Kelsey McKay backed me up 363 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: on this Attorney Now victims rights lawyer founder McKay Training 364 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: and Consulting. There is thing a snap. The snap defense 365 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: that is a show on TV. Snack absolutely not a 366 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: legitimate defense. Oh I snapped, everybody full to County, Ye'll 367 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: be walking for you that I'll say, Oh. 368 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 9: I snapped, and it builds into it almost like an 369 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 9: element of victim blaming, as though she has some type 370 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 9: of control or choice in it. When domestic abuse, and 371 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 9: you know, we talked to you asked at first, why 372 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 9: do we still have these murders? And the truth is 373 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 9: just the language we use domestic violence limits the most 374 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 9: important understanding of these cases, and that's what abuse is, 375 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 9: and it's not violence. Violence is often used to reinforce it, 376 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 9: but it doesn't always exist. And I also think it's 377 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 9: interesting to note that he shot her in the space. 378 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 9: And don may know more than this with experience, but 379 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 9: certainly there's an aspect of wanting to make sure she 380 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 9: isn't attractive really in the murders, but we see is 381 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 9: a lot of patterns. 382 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 8: Where you degrade her. 383 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 9: There's a lot of different themes that occur in domestic 384 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 9: violence that are different than other types of homicides and 385 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 9: certainly different than homicide that involve male victims and male perpetrator. 386 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: You're right, doctor Charles Hiller joining me a forensic psychologist 387 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: and expert specializing in domestic violence. In my notes, I 388 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: wrote significance of shooting in the face to disfigure her 389 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: because she's very beautiful. Often, as Kelsey McKay pointed out, 390 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: high profile lawyer women are left in a degrading manner, 391 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: like naked, to be found that way, something that would 392 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: be embarrassing to them in some way. Explaining doctor Heller 393 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: the significance of shooting her in the face. 394 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 13: This man was extremely angry and he wanted to get 395 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 13: all those anger out in that one moment, and unfortunately 396 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 13: that's what he did. And it's not unusual for people 397 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 13: who are violent to do something like that when we'll push. 398 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 9: Back on the anger, though, because angry, these are choices. 399 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 9: They might appear angry, certainly it's violent. These are choices 400 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 9: that they make when they lose control. 401 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: I'm curious about how he is surviving right now. Back 402 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: to Chris Adam is joining us survival expert. Now that 403 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: we know he planned this in advance. I mean, look 404 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: at his note. Be quiet. If she wakes up, tell 405 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 2: her you're just up, getting your nasal spray, sneak around, 406 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: get very close, put hole in her head. 407 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: He had to write a note to himself. He had 408 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: to devise the. 409 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: Time, the location, the perfect moment that he would be 410 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 2: least likely to be caught and then he just leaves, 411 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: and he leaves in the cart, conceals the cart deep 412 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: in the woods you mentioned, temperatures are going down to 413 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: thirty five degrees. Question, what would he need to survive 414 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: in that terrain and under those circumstances. Because I know 415 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 2: he planned this, did he plan to hide out? 416 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 15: With his military background, I would assume that he would 417 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 15: have had some formulative plan to carry things that he 418 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 15: needed out there. What I haven't heard in any of 419 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 15: these news articles is any any real reason to think 420 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 15: that he carried much of anything with him. 421 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 3: They don't know because no one is released to us. 422 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 3: What if anything was found in the vehicle. We don't know. 423 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 3: If he had a backpack, we know nothing. 424 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what he would have taken 425 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: because this guy's on the run right now and is 426 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: in dangerous. 427 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: Listen to this. This is the Worcester County DA. 428 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 16: He is considered I'm endangerous. 429 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 6: Four children in the house. 430 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 5: The children are safe in a right now, are in custody. 431 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: If DCF Massachusetts de pup Children Family Services. 432 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 16: We don't have anything else at this time. Really can't 433 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 16: take any questions. We will update you, but we want 434 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 16: to make he is not in custody. We know that 435 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 16: some information has been put out on social media. Do 436 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 16: some suggestions that he was in costady. He is not 437 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 16: in custody, and that's the reason for disavailability break down, 438 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 16: eaches of the children, two, five, seven, and nine. 439 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 6: Neighbors be concerned. 440 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 5: We are concerned. 441 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, neighbors should be concerned. Everybody should be concerned. So, 442 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: Chris Adams, what. 443 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 3: Would he need if he has a backpack on his back. 444 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 2: We don't know what he took, if anything, What would 445 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: he need to survive? 446 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: And how can we find him? Because he's surviving. 447 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 15: The basic thing is warm. If he had an emergency blanket, 448 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 15: if he had a woolen blanket, but with temperaures dipping 449 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 15: down that low, you'd have to keep your body temperature 450 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 15: up throughout the night. So he's got to have a 451 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 15: fire somewhere otherwise he's going into this very haphazardly. If 452 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 15: he's not keeping his body temperature up, he is at 453 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 15: severe risk of getting hypothermia, and with that, of course, 454 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 15: comes his demise. He doesn't seek medical health, which he's 455 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 15: not gonna do obviously. 456 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: Exactly Chris Adams, Exactly, Rachel Louise Snyder. 457 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 3: We think he went on foot. 458 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 2: He probably couldn't get far, which mates he could he 459 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: could be there in that four hundred acre area unless 460 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: he had help, which. 461 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: I doubt anybody's going to help him after he. 462 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: Murders his wife, or unless he got a ride somehow 463 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 2: Did he have a rental car waiting? 464 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: Did he plan it that much? Did he get an uber? 465 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: All avenues of inquiry, but Rachel Louis Snyder, way in, 466 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: how far could he have gotten on foot? 467 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 3: He is a survivalist. 468 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 7: He's a survivalist. I mean, he had seven years in 469 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 7: the military. You know, I don't he's got ties to California, 470 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,959 Speaker 7: like any of the Any speculation is like, we just 471 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 7: don't know. But most of these guys end up killing themselves. 472 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 8: And I'm not. 473 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 7: As a journalist, I don't like to speculate, but I 474 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 7: feel like this is the real problem is not to 475 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 7: me anyway is not Is he out there alive?

Her husband, Brian Walsh, suspect, 496 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 2: and you don't have to be married. Of course, there's 497 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: a case of Gabby Betito and in that case, the 498 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: killer her boyfriend, Brian Laundry, hid out in Carlton Reserve 499 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: twenty five thousand acres after he murdered her. Remember that 500 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: Chris Adams do so guys part of this picture, and 501 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: I believe earlier let's see. 502 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 3: Who was jumping in? 503 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: Was it Don Wilcox, Leslie Morgan Steiner, author of Crazy 504 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: Love and Domestic Violence survivor jump in. 505 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 14: So seventy five percent of female homicide are committed by 506 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 14: man known to the victim, usually in her. 507 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 10: Home or car. 508 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 14: And we need to ask what kind of country we 509 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 14: live in where the most unsafe place for women and 510 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 14: children are in their own homes, are in their own cars. 511 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 14: And this is just a problem that's hiding in plain sight, 512 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 14: and we all need to recognize the red flags. And 513 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 14: also something very important needs to be acknowledged, which is 514 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 14: that people who commit domestic violence, men who commit domestic 515 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 14: violence are incredibly likely to go out and attack their communities. 516 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 14: And we saw that with Robert Carr, the main mass murderer. 517 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 14: We see in almost all mass murderers. So we have 518 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 14: to be the community has to be a very afraid 519 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 14: of Aaron Pennington and what he could do, and try 520 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 14: to get to abusers before they commit these atrocities. And 521 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 14: in addition to some of the other red flags that 522 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 14: were more familiar with looking for bruises and domestic violence, 523 00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 14: chartered relation. 524 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 8: Yep, look for fear. 525 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 14: Fear is something that is easier to pick up on 526 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 14: if you see that macheems afraid. And I promise you 527 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 14: that the four children and Brian Pennington were terrified. They 528 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 14: had to know that he was planning something. And we 529 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 14: are very good at ignoring victims when they come to 530 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 14: the police and say, I'm afraid he said he's going 531 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 14: to kill me, or I'm afraid that he's plotting something 532 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 14: because I'm planning to leave him, and police and family. 533 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 17: Court judges need to be aware of the red flags, 534 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 17: but also they need to be. 535 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 3: Empowered, right, I hear you, I hear you. 536 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: But remembering Gabby Batito, she was as she charged as 537 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: the abuser before Laundry murdered her. 538 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 3: So let me ask you a question, Leslie Morgan Steiner. 539 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: How long did you live in fear? And what was 540 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: the final straw? How did you finally escape your batterer? 541 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 14: So it was four years of being strangled and having 542 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 14: loaded guns held my head on a regular basis, and 543 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 14: what ended up happening to me is there was one 544 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 14: final brutal beating where I was unconscious for most of it. 545 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 14: He had a black belt in karate and a black 546 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 14: sash in kung fu, and he had his three guns. 547 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 14: And what enabled me to leave was the awareness of 548 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 14: my community, including the police officers who rescued me. They 549 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 14: understood how potentially lethful this was, and my community came together. 550 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 10: To protect me. 551 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 14: And it wasn't so much my family and friends because 552 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 14: they didn't know anything about domestic violence. It was the 553 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 14: police and my local domestic violence agency who convinced me 554 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 14: that I was in lethal danger and then I needed 555 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 14: to I needed my entire community support in order to 556 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 14: leave him. 557 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 3: I have an update, guys. 558 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: A few miles away from the murder scene in Ashburnham, 559 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: a man found a change of clothes in the woods 560 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 2: behind his home, a ziplot bag with rubber gloves, surgical gloves. 561 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 2: He thought it was a trash bag ahead of white shirt, 562 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: short socks, boxers and a toothbrush. So to doctor Nisha Panday. 563 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 2: Doctor Panday with TIMPs going down in the thirties, as 564 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 2: Chris Adams pointed out, how could he survive if he 565 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: didn't have a coat or some type of source of warmth. 566 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 10: So within a few hours his temperature is going to 567 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 10: go down and he'll probably die of hypothermia. But he's 568 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 10: probably got some place he's at. I'm not sure where 569 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 10: he would be, but if he has nothing to keep 570 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 10: him warm, he's likely to die of hypothermia soon. 571 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 3: Well, we know his body hasn't been found. 572 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: Take a list in hour cut ten to the Wooster 573 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: County District Attorney's Office. 574 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 18: We're going to give a quick update with regards to 575 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 18: the search for Aaron Pennington.

We know the search is still on 588 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 2: to kel stan Ta Way in You. 589 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 9: Know, I think A couple of points have been brought 590 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 9: up in Nancy, going to your point about the case 591 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 9: that you had as a prosecutor where the victim asks 592 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 9: for charges to be dropped. The thing we have to 593 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 9: keep in mind is that not all prosecutors are like 594 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 9: you and I, who would look in the face of 595 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 9: a victim and say, you know, I'm going to go 596 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 9: forward anyway. And you've mentioned in all these cases a 597 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 9: very common theme, which is the system failed a victim. 598 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 9: The burden was put on the victim to identify, to investigate, 599 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 9: to co operate, and when that doesn't happen, they dismissed 600 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 9: these cases. And unfortunately, that puts a burden on a 601 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 9: victim that's not safe. And in this case, we know 602 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 9: she was trying to leave, We know she was trying 603 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 9: to get many We know in the case of Adam 604 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 9: Beddingfield that not only had she tried to obtain a 605 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 9: protective order, she had called the police. She was reaching 606 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 9: out for help. She was trying to separate and have 607 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 9: the kids. But he did say that made it so 608 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 9: that he wasn't held accountable. 609 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 8: Helsey, she posted she on this is Dawn just waying 610 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 8: in she posted a over seven minute video of him 611 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 8: hitting her, kicking her.

And Daddy Dabby knew that something 636 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 13: was wrong with Brian, but she didn't know how to 637 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 13: get out of that. She didn't know how to keep 638 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 13: the destiny that she was seeing because he must have 639 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 13: exhibited a lot of rage and anger. 640 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 3: Oh yes, she did not know what to do. 641 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 2: So young and so inexperience. Rachel Louise Snyder Way in. 642 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 17: When you see that video, who what I see is, 643 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 17: as your guest mentioned, a system that is broken in 644 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 17: full view of these police don't have training in how 645 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 17: to assess who the primary aggressor is. 646 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 7: When I think about all of. 647 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 17: These cases, so two of the four cases that we've 648 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 17: talked about today, there was a woman who was actually 649 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 17: given a restraining order, and in both those cases it 650 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 17: is the woman who's who's wound up dead. That to 651 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 17: me is a broken system. When I think about Aaron Pennington, 652 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 17: it's not just is he out there, is he armed 653 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 17: and dangerous. There are other elements we can look at. 654 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 17: In his case, he separated from the Army Rangers. He 655 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 17: was a reservist for the last year. Separated in February, 656 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 17: I think Racion his employer said, they confirmed that he 657 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 17: had worked there but had lost that job or didn't 658 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 17: have that job after March. Right, that's a disruption in 659 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,919 Speaker 17: the home. Then he's got mental health issues on top 660 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 17: of that. Then he threatened suicide on top of that. 661 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 17: And when you have someone who has a high security 662 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 17: clearance like he had to seek out mental health help. 663 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 7: Is to lose that security clearance. So his wife certainly 664 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 7: knows that, so she feels duck like she can't get help. 665 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 7: These are all indications of a broken system and a 666 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 7: system that is prioritizing his position in society over her safety. 667 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 7: And gentlemen are experts on their They are the experts 668 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 7: on these men's men's behavior. These stats are often predictable, preventable. 669 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 7: Do women foretell their own murders and they know them expertly, 670 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 7: They're the ones who walk on eggshells. 671 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 2: Guys, if you have information on the whereabouts of Aaron Pennington, 672 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: call six one, seven, seven two seven twenty two hundred, 673 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 2: do not approach him six one seven seven two seven 674 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 2: twenty two hundred. 675 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 3: If you are someone you know. 676 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 2: Needs help, needs guidance as a domestic violence victim, dial 677 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 2: eight hundred seven ninety nine seven two three three eight 678 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 2: hundred seventy nine nine seven two three three. I distinctly 679 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 2: remember a friend of mine, a very dear friend, in 680 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: high school. She dropped out of high school and she 681 00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 2: got pregnant. I noticed a sudden change in her behaviorhavior. 682 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 2: She never went anywhere without a shirt up to her neck, 683 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 2: the sleeves down to her wrists, and always long pants, 684 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 2: no makeup, and hair pulled back for years. Needless to say, 685 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 2: she was a victim of domestic violence, but in high 686 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 2: school I didn't understand what was happening. She got free 687 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 2: and the baby as now a very well respected dental surgeon. 688 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: But the years she endured I can only imagine. If 689 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:43,720 Speaker 2: you believe someone you know is suffering, don't wait. Do something, 690 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: at least in the name of Brian Pennington and Kiara 691 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 2: Hudson and Anna Walch and Gabby Patito. 692 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 3: Do something.
