1 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. We've all seen Silence of 2 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: the Lambs or Dexter other programs in movies or TV 3 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: where there is a cannibal where a body is dismembered. 4 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: That is very rare in real life, or so we think. 5 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: The specter of dismemberment and cannibalism once again rears its 6 00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: ugly head when a gorgeous young mom of two girls 7 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: goes missing in New Orleans. I'm Nancy Grace this described stories. 8 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us here at Fox Nation 9 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: and Sirius XM one eleven. First of all, take a 10 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: listen to our friend Natasha Robin at WVUE. According to 11 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: court documents, NPD investigators executed a search warrant at this 12 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: home Tuesday morning in relation to a missing woman, Julia Dardar, 13 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 1: Dardar's ex husband, reported or missing to police last month. 14 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: During the search of Beale's home, detectives found a power 15 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: cord leading from the main residence to a blue bus 16 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: parked in the yard. When detectives searched the bus, court 17 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: documents show the chord was connected to a power deep freezer, 18 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: where investigators say they found a headless torso of what 19 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: appeared to be an adult human female. Investigators located a 20 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: power saw inside of an ice chest, which appeared to 21 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: bits of flesh on the blade. Again, I'm Nancy Grace. 22 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us here at crime stories. 23 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: You know, very often trying cases in inner city Atlanta 24 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: and ultimately specializing in very serious felonies. In the last 25 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: five to seven years I prosecuted, I would notice that 26 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: facts of various crimes would chip off the tongue of 27 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: seasoned prosecutors because we were so used to dealing with 28 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: not just serious crimes, but bizarre crimes, and what would 29 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: be normal to us would be very, very abnormal to jurars. 30 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: This case has made me stop at my tracks while 31 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: I report and investigate on crimes every single day. What 32 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: happened to Julia is very area upsetting. And you may 33 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: not live in New Orleans or in any of the 34 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: locations where this happens to young women and others, but 35 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: the fact is this does happen all across our country. 36 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: Just recently, I was investigating the case of what we 37 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: now know to be a serial killer named Israel Keys, 38 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: a young Alaska and Barista beautiful. Her name was Samantha 39 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: Koenig went missing from her coffee stand. The reason, even 40 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: though it was on a busy public street, there was 41 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: a snow bank around it where snow had been cleared 42 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: and cleared and cleared out of the coffee parking lot 43 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: that had built up into a snow bank all around 44 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: her coffee stand, so no one noticed when she was kidnapped. 45 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: When I spoke to the FBI agent that pulled her 46 00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: body out of icy water underneath a frozen surface, she 47 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: had been dismembered. Why what does it mean when someone's 48 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: not just murdered, they're dismembered? And what does that mean 49 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: for the family, the children left behind? How are they 50 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: supposed to remember their mother? With me and all Star 51 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: panel to make sense of what we know right now? 52 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: First of all, California prosecutor, author of Red Flags on Amazon, 53 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: host of Today with doctor Wendy on KCBQ, San Diego. 54 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick at Wendy Patrick, PhD dot com.

You can find her on 62 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: Twitter at s O'Connor news. But first I want to 63 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: go to a person that lived the disappearance of Julia, 64 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: her husband, Micah Dardar, and let me direct to you 65 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: to go fund me justice for Julia. Mica. Thank you 66 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: for being with us, Thank you for having me. Mica. 67 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: You had a very long relationship with Julia. As a 68 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: matter of fact, didn't you guys meet fairly young? And 69 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Life says she was a teenager. Yes, yeah, I was 70 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: in college in New Mexico and we worked at a 71 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant together and we met, Yes, she was. We 72 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: were both pretty young. I and we're together ever since. 73 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: And there are the two daughters, correct, what are their names? 74 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: Ac and Karen. Now there at the very end, you 75 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: guys had had some marital arguments and she left. Yes, 76 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: when she left, I assume that you thought, oh, okay, 77 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: she's gonna go drive around in the car. She may 78 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: go stay with family or friends for a day or two, 79 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: but everything will settle back down. When did it sink 80 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: into you, Micah or your two girls that mommy was 81 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: not coming back home. Well, we knew she was missing. 82 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: And when it really sunk in was Christmas Day when 83 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: I knew that she didn't call, she was off the grid, 84 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: there was no contact or anything. At that point I 85 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: knew something was wrong. Okay, right there, let me jump in. 86 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: Doctor Angela Arnold joining a psychiatrist out of Atlanta and 87 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: her specialty is working with women. Former medical director of 88 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the Psychiatric obgy in Clinic at Great Immemorial Hospital, one 89 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: of the busiest hospitals in the country, Doctor Angie, when 90 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: a mom is not there on Christmas morning, when a 91 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: mom doesn't even call on Christmas morning, you know something's wrong. 92 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Now in my world, I call that behavioral evidence or 93 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: evidence of routine that is now broken that has never 94 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: been broken before. But what does that tell you from 95 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: a frame of mind point of view? From a frame 96 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: of mind point of view, didn't say what it tells me? 97 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: Is it? For some reason the person is not capable 98 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: of getting in touch with their loved ones. So they 99 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: are either they're either missing or gone, or something is 100 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: wrong with them because someone a person would not consciously 101 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: make the decision not to contact their family Christmas, particularly 102 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: if nothing had been leading up to this. What's the 103 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: difference in men and women? And not the obvious differences 104 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: physical differences. But I mean, I could see a guy 105 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: deciding he was fed up with family life and leaving 106 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: and not calling on a Christmas, But I don't see 107 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: a mom doing it. No, there is there is something 108 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: different about about women and their mothering capabilities and and 109 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: and women are you know, I don't I don't mean 110 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: to say this, Nancy, but women are more much Yes, 111 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: you know what I'm going to Women do have more 112 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: of a mothering tendency than none do. And it is 113 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: very unusual for something different like this to happen. And 114 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: it also points to a difference. This is not something 115 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: that this woman would normally do, so I believe it 116 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: is a complete red flag and the family should be 117 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: very concerned about something like this. I'm just trying to 118 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: think about that day on a circle back to Dan Corcentina, 119 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick, doctor Preya and Shay O'Connor joining me. But Wendy, 120 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: hold on, let me go to Mica first. Mica. That 121 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: morning when you guys wake up and exchange Christmas presents 122 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: and Santa comes and the day stretched on. Did the 123 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: girls say anything about Mom? No, not a whole lot. 124 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: She had been gone since about June, so we were 125 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: kind of used to her not being around so much anymore. 126 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: So I guess at that point the girls are just 127 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: numb about Mom. Yes, yes, about how everything played out. 128 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Gray, dr Anjo. I want to 129 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: come back to you. When you get hurt over and 130 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: over and over, I think you subconsciously, if it's going 131 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: to sound inconsistent, you subconsciously make a decision that's the 132 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: inconsistency that you're not going to care anymore. You just 133 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: shut it off. You shut off caring rather than keep 134 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: getting hurt. Exactly because the only way that you cannot 135 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: continue to get hurt is to build a wall around 136 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: yourself to protect yourself, because if you keep letting the 137 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: person in that is hurting you, then you know that 138 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: you know that the outcome is that you will continue 139 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: to get hurt. So people naturally, whether knowingly or not, 140 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: they build up a wall and they've become a little 141 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: less open to people that could possibly hurt them. So 142 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Dan Corsentina in Farmer Police Chief, Farmer Sheriff now PI 143 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Dan Coorsantina dot com. How many cases that you've handled 144 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: start with X mom or dad didn't show up for 145 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the birthday, didn't show up for the anniversary, didn't show 146 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: up for Christmas? And that marks the moment when things 147 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: get real. There's a few. There's no doubt about that, 148 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: because that becomes a tipping point. There is a lack 149 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: of communication when there has been consistent communication and when 150 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: the person has a pattern of behavior where they're connected 151 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: to the family and then suddenly there is this emptiness, 152 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: that is a signal and for law enforcement they should 153 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: take that seriously. There's no doubt. And Wendy Patrick, how 154 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: many cases have you and I handled when we know 155 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: on that day I was just covering the case. Was 156 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: it Heidi Plank that didn't show up for birthday or 157 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: soccer game? Birthday? Birthday? They had planned a big birthday 158 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: extravaganza from one of her boys, and she wasn't there, 159 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: just went radio silent and they knew right then she's 160 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: gone or should be here. Yeah, Nancy you called at 161 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: the moment when things get real. Dan called at a 162 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: tipping point. I usually think of it as a time 163 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: when absence isn't just numbing, as Mica explained, but the 164 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: explanation becomes nefarious. Everything changes when there is a moment 165 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: in time, whether it's and we've hit the Big three, 166 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: whether it's a birthday and anniversary or Christmas Day, and 167 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: that day just goes on forever because the loved one 168 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: doesn't make any type of contact, and that is especially 169 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: true when there's young children in the house.

I mean, hey, O'Connor joining me, 192 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: w dsu you go out there. What time of the 193 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: night was it? It was about eight pm. And I 194 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: did not ever forget how to tell me about the bus? Yes, 195 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: it was very just it was a very eerie feeling 196 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: when I saw the bus. Well, I gotta tell you, 197 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now and I wouldn't touch 198 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: it with a ten football if I can help it. 199 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Of course, if it's a crime investigation, you gotta go 200 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: into the bus. But I'm looking at it and it's 201 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: got a big red eyeball painted on the front like forehead, like, um, 202 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: is it a cyclops that has the one eye like 203 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: a cyclops. It's kind of been given a creepy face 204 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: where the front lights have been painted green around them 205 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: and red, a blood red all around the front of it. 206 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: This is the bus that's part ard next to the home. 207 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the homewas right up to the side 208 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: of the home. What else, if anything, did you observe 209 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: about the bus when you arrived there? Just I mean, 210 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: first of all, just a way that it was painted, 211 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: but just to see it outside, but then also to 212 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: see neighbors who had no idea what had happened. It 213 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: was just crazy. Take and listen to Caitlin Rust w 214 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: VUE Fox eight. We were together since she was a 215 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: teenager and I was in college. I always did feel 216 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: like she was my responsibility to take care of and 217 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: to see her go down this path and no one 218 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: else watching out for her. I did my best. I 219 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: think I did what I could do. I tried to 220 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: get her order protective custody. I alerted multiple levels of 221 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement of the situation. Nothing I could do to 222 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: stop what happened. What is that feeling, doctor Angie, when 223 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: you know something bad is happening but you can't stop it. 224 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: You know, you just get that feeling. And I've talked 225 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to so many victims' families and witnesses. They have it's 226 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: almost a primitive feeling that something bad is happening, but 227 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: they don't know what. You know, Nancy, I believe that 228 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: that kind of feeling comes from being very connected to 229 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: someone and to really knowing that person and what a 230 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: horrible thing that is to go through. You know, It's 231 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: much like, and you've talked about this on other shows 232 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: of yours, It's much like if people want to connect 233 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: to us, like if you lose your child in the 234 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: mall and a million questions go through your head about, 235 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: oh my god, what all of the what ifs? Of 236 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: what if could have happened? What could have happened to 237 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: your child? That is something that I think a lot 238 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: of your viewers can can feel because that happens to 239 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people. These kinds of things do not 240 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: happen in the population very often too. She O'Connor, Shay, 241 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: you were there for w DSCU that night, or the 242 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: police already in the bus. The police had already left 243 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: by the time we got there. We were the only 244 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: people on seeing the first people to find out about 245 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: the story when it comes to news stations in New Orleans. So, 246 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, just hearing about it, I'm just like, oh 247 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: my gosh, like, is this real? That's my first thought. 248 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: We get there, we talk to people, It just the 249 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: scene felt so eerie. It was so heavy. Yeah. So 250 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, does that answer your question? Yes, it does. 251 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: Take a listen to our Cut three, our friends at 252 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: w ZU. A Darter says someone informed him December twentieth 253 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: his wife had disappeared from Beale's house on Pauline Street 254 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: a few days earlier. He said Beale was using her 255 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: car and refusing to cooperate with police he sent there 256 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: on a welfare check. I knew she was going down 257 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: a bad road. But this grewsome way to this ended. 258 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: Is It's beyond belief. We have alluded to the quote 259 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: grewsome way Julia's life ended. Take a listen to our 260 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: friends w VUE, Fox eight, our cut four breaking news 261 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: this morning, the NPD makes an arrest after discovering human remains. 262 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: Right now, NPD is calling this an unclassified death Investigation 263 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: officers say they were executing a search warrant and the 264 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: twenty two hundred block of Pauline Street and the upper 265 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: ninth ward.

The graffiti bus, the 270 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: cluttered yard, the foil covering the windows, signs warding off 271 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: unwanted guest. It was late Tuesday night when police rated 272 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: the home of Benjamin Biale. Court documents show police had 273 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: been questioning Bill for weeks about the location of Julia Dardar, 274 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: who he claimed to be his girlfriend. The records also 275 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: showed that police grew suspicious of Bill after a round 276 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: of questioning that took place on January fifth. The court 277 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: documents show police say they asked Bill why he didn't 278 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: try to find Dardar or reporter missing Bill Ventel police 279 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: he lost his cell phone and didn't know how else 280 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: to get in contact with them. Soon after, police obtained 281 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: a warrant to search his home. The documents show, once 282 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: in the house, they noticed an extension cord running from 283 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: inside of Bill's home to a bus part in the backyard. 284 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: That extension cord ran into a deep freezer where the 285 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: body was found. There was also an ice chest nearby 286 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: with a reciprocating saw on the inside. Police say they 287 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: saw what appeared to have been bits of flesh and 288 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: fluid on the blade in surface, and even though investigators 289 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: recovered Dardar's ID on the scene, they stopped short of 290 00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: saying whether it was her body. Time stories with Nancy 291 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: Grace straight out to Day in Quarantina, former police chief 292 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: formerly with US Homeland Security Dan dismemberment cases are very rare. 293 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: Now we think they're rare because we hear of them rarely. 294 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: They may have them more often than we know, and 295 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: they're never solved because the body's never found. Dan, well, 296 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: that's absolutely correct. In oftentimes what we find in this 297 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: dismember my case is a malicious obviously intent so the 298 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: body wouldn't be found, and that would be a situation 299 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: where the perpetrator in this case is separating the body 300 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: parts at different locations to protect themselves as well as 301 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: to hide the identity of the victim. And this is 302 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: just one of those tragic cases that we see where 303 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: this individual Benjamin Bill found themselves being so malicious. Was 304 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: such a teneous claim. We know what. Let's let's follow 305 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: up on what Dan Corcentino was saying with doctor Pria Banerjee, 306 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: Doctor Prea, thank you for being with us. You heard 307 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: the description of what was found on the scene. Extension chords, 308 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: multiple extension chords, the bits and the saws, the blades, 309 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: multiple m saws and blades. That tells me there was 310 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: extreme planning and intent. How difficult is it to dismember 311 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: a human body? It's actually very difficult. Oh yes, I 312 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: mean obviously, you know, there's the heinous crime of her 313 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: being killed, and then they're trying to disfuld he trying 314 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: to both of her. Think about it, this is a 315 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: power tool used to cut wood and you know, heavy machinery. 316 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: Really that's not that's what's being employed to cut through 317 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, bones and tissue. You know it shreds it, 318 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: it's cut through thick bones, and that's you know how 319 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: heinous this climb is. And yes, definitely intentional, uh, to 320 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: dismember her after she was killed. Michael darn Are, a 321 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: victim's husband, and you can go to go funding justice 322 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: for Julia, who is now tasked with raising her their 323 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: two girls. Mica, do the girls know that their mom 324 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: was dismembered? Yes, they know. It's uh I told them, 325 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: and they've of course seen the moves. There's really no 326 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: way to even explain. I mean, how do you explain 327 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: to your child. So one thing to say mommy has 328 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: gone to have a Mommy's passed away, but then to 329 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: explain the brutality a murder and a dismemberment. I recall 330 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: my fiancee's murder and it was right before, just before 331 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: a wedding, and his death was shot enough, but then 332 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: compounded by the fact that it was a senseless murder, 333 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: just insanely senseless murder over nothing. That was a whole 334 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: another level of mental confusion because I did not know 335 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: about a world of hatred and violence until then. So 336 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: the death is then compounded by the mode of a murder, 337 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: then the dismemberment. I mean, how did you how did 338 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: you explain that to the girls? Oh? Well, it was tough, 339 00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: but uh, we just discussed it and yeah, I was 340 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: it very honest with them. How have they digested it? 341 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: How is it affected them? They are doing okay. I 342 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: can't see that they are dealing with it terribly, but 343 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: I could see that it is affecting them. They both 344 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: have different coping mechanisms, like what well, one has a 345 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: bit of aggression, the other has some depression, very suppressing 346 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: it in different ways. You know, doctor Angie, after we 347 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: finished talking today on air, could I get you with 348 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Micah and maybe you could give him some ideas about 349 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: how to help the girls, because I'm telling you, doctor Angie, 350 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: after my fiance case murder, it took me several years 351 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: to understand what was happening. But I would feel myself 352 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: going into a depression again, and I would come up 353 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: with ideas. I wrongly did not seek counseling, but I 354 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: would find ways. I came up with ways to get 355 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: myself out of the depression as I felt myself slipping 356 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: into it, because sometimes when you get into it, you 357 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: can't get out and it can take being chunks of 358 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: your life. And I don't want this for Julia's girls. 359 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: I mean that that ghost hanging over them of what 360 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: happened to Mom, It's one day going to hit them 361 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: like a ton of bricks if they don't deal with it. 362 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: And I don't want them to lose years and years 363 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: and years of their life morning like I did. I 364 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: want to circle back to this theory that dismemberments aren't rare, 365 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: and I want to look at the suspect. Benjamin Bill 366 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: just thirty four years old. Who is he? Take a 367 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: listen to our friend Natasha Robin at WVUE. Neighbors are 368 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: still in shock after police discovered human remains inside of 369 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: a freezer in the backyard this ninth Ward home on 370 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Pauline Street. When he came out with the tape, I'm like, 371 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 1: oh my god, you know what is really going on? 372 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: Thirty four year old Benjamin Beale known to neighbors as Kelly. 373 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: He was like a little circle. So Mike Major says 374 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: Bill was his friend. He describes him as an eccentric, 375 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: outgoing guy and usually he was working on his garden. 376 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: He'd be working on that, you know, on the stone wall, 377 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: you know one it's hard to sell them, you know. 378 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: And he's pretty passionate. So he was quiet, he was 379 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: he was glad we would see him coming go and 380 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: walk as gold. I mean, you know, it was nothing 381 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: like you would be you will suspect something like this 382 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: in a neighborhood that what happened. You know, the remains 383 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: that were piled will now go to the corner's office 384 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: to hopefully get an ID and to cause of death. 385 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: Speaking of cause of death, I'm going to circle back 386 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: to that, but I want to go to doctor Angela 387 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: Arnold and everyone else on our panel today please jump in. 388 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: Do you hear how neighbors are describing Benjamin Beale, age 389 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: thirty four, the guy that I guess lived in the 390 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: home and that freaky looking bus he had parked directly 391 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: beside it at age thirty four. Eccentric, outgoing, always working 392 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: in his garden, working on a stone wall, art an 393 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: artistic stone wall, passionate, quiet, walking his dog. What. But 394 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: it also sounds like he was he isolated himself. And 395 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: it also sounds to me me it's he like he 396 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: wasn't really a part of that community. Well, didn't you 397 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: hear them say he was part of our little circle? 398 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: Sounds like he was part of it? Well, yeah, I 399 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: heard them say that, But I'm not sure how much 400 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: he got in to their community, because it seems to 401 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: me more like his behaviors isolated him a little bit. 402 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 1: He's a little odd, looking his home as he's building 403 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: up a wall around the front of his house. His 404 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: house is very strange looking, Is that true, Sea O'Connor 405 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: joining me Wgsu Yeah. I would just say, you know, 406 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: just talking to the neighbors along the street, they did 407 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: not know him, you know, like they would see him, 408 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: they thought he was odd, but I definitely wouldn't say 409 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: that they felt like he was a part of their community. 410 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: The people who stayed next to him had no idea 411 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: who he really was. One of the girls even told 412 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: me that I think he offered her some food and 413 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: so she went inside of his home. That was the 414 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: first time she was there, and she's like, oh my gosh. 415 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: It was just so you know, he had so much 416 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: paint in the house and he had painted the walls 417 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: and shay like I didn't know that he was living 418 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: that way, And I just remember walking out like feeling so, 419 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, just heavy when I left the house. They 420 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: didn't know who he was, but I mean, he did 421 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: talk with people every now and then, but I don't 422 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: think they knew like exactly who he was. Nancy, this 423 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: is Wendy this This man sounds like a proverbial axe murderer. 424 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: Next door. The neighbors are describing him as quiet. They 425 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: say he used to work in his garden. The one 426 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: thing Shay just said that surprised me is that one 427 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: of them had actually been inside his house. Because usually 428 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: everybody superficially kind of knows the nice, quiet neighbor, but 429 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: nobody's actually been inside. So that's one what I would 430 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: call rogue fact, because otherwise it does seem like he 431 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: isolated himself, even though visually they were able to see 432 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: him outside walking his dog in the garden. Time Stories 433 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace to Dean Corsentina, I've been up in 434 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: every neighbor's house around our home, and whether it's trick 435 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: or treating or taking them something at Christmas, or going 436 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: to ask them have they seen the cat. I have 437 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: gotten in the home and looked around and all the 438 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: houses around our home because I want to know who 439 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: is around my children. You darn right, I've been up 440 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: in them in their driveways in their home now. And 441 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: I know you think that may be taking it to 442 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: an extreme, but I don't think that's crazy. Is that crazy? 443 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy. Corsentina, Well, I don't know 444 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: them easy. I would say that you are very aware 445 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: and conscience from the was in such are in. But 446 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that wanted to show 447 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: the neighbors only what he wanted to show the neighbors. 448 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: Many people, most people have a public private in secret life. 449 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: Clearly no one was able to penetrate his secret life 450 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: or what was in the spots of who he actually was. 451 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: You know what, I want to follow up on something 452 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: that you're saying right now, a secret life to Shay 453 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: O'Connor w DSU. You said, the woman who had been 454 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: invited in for some food, who would want to eat that? 455 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: But you said the paint on the wall's what do 456 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: you mean? Was it like spray painted or graffitied? I 457 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: mean all walls are painted, right. She talked about his 458 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: home like the inside, as though he had maybe painted 459 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: the inside, like how the bus was painted. Oh, dear 460 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: Lord in Heaven. Right, Okay, take a listen to our Okay. Nine, 461 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: this is Morgan Lenty's w d SU dismembered and left 462 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: to be discovered by police. I know she was a 463 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: tough cookie, so she couldn't have gone out without a fight. 464 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: The family of Julia dar Dar is convinced he remains 465 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: were found inside a school bus in the ninth Ward 466 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: last week. Now, her husband and the couples to daughters 467 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: say they are fighting for Julia. They gathered outside city 468 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: Hall Tuesday begging for Benjamin Beale to be held without bond. 469 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: He's an animal, he needs to be in a cage. 470 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: Beale was arrested the night that discovery was made on 471 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: Pauline Street. He was later charged with murder and most recently, 472 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: simple assault. His bond is now over one point four 473 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: million dollars, but MIKEA. Dardar worries it isn't enough to 474 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: keep him in jail. There's a high risk to many 475 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: people if he does get out, because there's just no 476 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: telling what he would do. And while the family waits 477 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: for that matter to be settled in court, they're left 478 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: to deal with the disturbing details of this case, still 479 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: trying to make sense of such a senseless crime. Je 480 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: dontor preamanagee joining us. How do you determine when a 481 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: body has been dismembered, what the coda cause of death was? 482 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great question. So usually in my experience, 483 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: and I have handled up a few dismemberment cases, it's 484 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: usually post mortem, so the seatons are usually killed in 485 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: one or more methods and then they are dismembered to 486 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: try to hide the body or you know, hide what 487 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: was done to them. You know, in this case, if 488 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: you think about it, she's beaten and strangled. You should 489 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: be able to tell much of those injuries, regardless of 490 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: the dismemberment, because it's usually the long the limbs, the 491 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: torso you know, those are cut away, but usually it's 492 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: not so small that you can't still do an autopsy. 493 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut ten. This is Anna McCallister, 494 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: w GNO. Julia was reported missing at the end of December. 495 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: Last week, police found the dismembered remains of a woman 496 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: inside of a freezer on a property on Pauline Street.

I always knew that it was wrong, but 548 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: after the first the first killing was not planned. I 549 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: was coming back from the shopping mall back in seventy eight. 550 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: I had had fantasies about picking up a hitchhiker and 551 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: taking them back to the house and having complete control 552 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: and dominance.

I don't understand the thinking of murderers 555 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 1: who then dismember and in these cases eat their victims. 556 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't understand dismemberment. Now, if you're trying to hide 557 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: a part of the body, the body, get rid of 558 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: it so won't be found. I understand that, as evil 559 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: as it is. But when you dismember the body and 560 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: put it in your freezer. That's no longer the explanation, 561 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: So help me out, dodtr Angie. Yeah, Nancy, if this 562 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: is shape, If it's okay, I'd like to read to 563 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: you what the affidavit said. Okay, please do yes so um. 564 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: Court documents said that inside the freezer, a reciprocating saw 565 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: with flesh and fluid was found, along with a head 566 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: in torso. Deep cuts were found on the shoulder, the shoulders, 567 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: and arms of the body that police believe were inflicted 568 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: post mortem. Dodtr Angie, Nancy, I think that we have 569 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: to remember this is if this is very important. The 570 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: people that do that do these kind of heinous crimes, 571 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: lack empathy and they and they really don't experience the 572 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: emotions that are that all of us are experiencing over us. 573 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: They could even be completely detached from what they are doing, Okay, 574 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: so they completely act lack empathy. As Jeffrey Dahmer said, 575 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing, he knew the difference 576 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: room right and wrong, but he didn't have a conscience 577 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: about it, which is the diagnosis of a sociopath. So 578 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: they all may they all may have people who dismember 579 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: may have different reasons for doing so, for example, to 580 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: hide the body, to eat the body, to have sex 581 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: with the body. They can have different reasons for doing it. 582 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: But remember that they all lack empathy and they do 583 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 1: not experience emotions the emotions that all of us are 584 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: experiencing around us. They are not experiencing these emotions. They're 585 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: incapable of that. Mika, I'm just trying too hard to 586 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: imagine how your daughters are taking this, because you know 587 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: they're going on the internet reading about it. Yes, they're 588 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: they're doing Okay, Um, I guess we're all in shock 589 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: about the whole thing. And to Shay O'Connor joining us WDSU, 590 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: where does the case against Bill stand now? Just as 591 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: of now he has been charged with murder and so 592 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: at this time, I mean because at first he wasn't 593 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: charged with murder. So now that they've been able to 594 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: say that he actually did kill her, that her body 595 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,919 Speaker 1: was the remains, like that was her remains, now he's 596 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: being charged with murder. So um, there is another court 597 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: appearance in March, but as of right now, that that's 598 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: what I know.
