1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace outside waiting in a getaway car, 2 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: in communicating with the men on waukie talkie. Eighteen year 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: old Dabby. Once we walked into the bank that it 4 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: was on, I was running on so much adrenaline and 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: so as I wasn't even really feeling anything. Two individuals 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: walked into the bank and they ordered the tellers and 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: everyone into the vault. She was the muscle with the 8 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: gun and I was the money guy. Both men are big, 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: over sixty three. Their sheer size and the gun enough 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: to terrify customers, but it's a novice bank robber who's 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: quaking in his boots. I was actually shaking so bad 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: that the employees grabbed the bag and started throwing money 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: in for me. In Hayden's hands, more money than he'd 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: ever dreamed of. How much those fifty thousand dollars away, 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: I'd say fifteen pounds. With her garbage bag full of cash, 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: they sprint out of a bank to the getaway car, 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: which has been outfitted with stolen place the wheelmen a 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: frightened teenager. I was scared. It's just something that it's 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: like one to be over with a teen girls. Part 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: of a vicious bank robbery gang. How the hate did 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: that happen? I guess you'd be pretty surprised like I 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: am when I finally learned that it's all in the family. 23 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: That's right, the children recruited by the father to become 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: armed bank robbers. I mean, see, Grace, this is crime stories. 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. You know, I'm constantly thinking, Oh, 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: what do I need to do to help the twins? 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: Should I get them a math tutor? Have they been 28 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: outside enough today? You know what? They have not had 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: five servings of veggies, and I know it. What can 30 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I possibly do? How can I disguise fruit and vegetables 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: in their drinks? I mean, it goes on. It's constantly 32 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: twisting and turning in my brain. It hadn't occurred to 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: me to Ashley Wilcott, judge lawyer anchor. You can find 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: her Ashley Wilcott dot com, that maybe I could get John, 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: David and Lucy to join my robin crew. Nancy, it's 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: not funny, But I'm just sitting here smiling because here's 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: the truth of the matter, and it's really sad. Desperate measures, right, 38 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Desperate measures is what this father took to ever think 39 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: about involving his children, and who cares their ages? They 40 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: were above the age of eighteen or eighteen and older. 41 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Who cares? It doesn't matter, you don't involve your children 42 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: in criminal activity. But clearly a very desperate man. Well 43 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: you know what to doctor Ryan Fuller, joining US clinical 44 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: psychologists and the executive director at New York Behavioral Health. 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Doctor Fuller, I remember long, long days in the courtroom. 46 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, you'd be there for eight am, bright eyed 47 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: and bushey, tilled with You know those white plastic boxes 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: that mail carriers use to deliver mail throughout office. Okay, 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: everybody knows what they are. No, I did not steal them, okay, 50 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: because I would never steal. But I did use some 51 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: that were lying around vacant in the hallways. Okay. My 52 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: point is they're the perfect size to put trial folders, 53 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: those Manila folders, And for any given calendar call, they'd 54 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: be one hundred and fifty or more individual cases. So 55 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: I'd be dragging those around the courthouse all day long, 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: getting ready for arrayment calendars or trials, blah blah. After 57 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: I would typically hook up with my best friend girl 58 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: and we'd get dinner, and then I could go home 59 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: and work somewhere. I remember it was one of those nights. 60 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: It was dark by the time I got off of work, 61 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: and I went to a local restaurant I think it 62 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: was a Houstons, and out in the parking lot, a 63 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: lady came up to me holding a baby and said 64 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: she need did bus fare to get to somewhere. She 65 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: had the baby. It was not a baby doll. It 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: was real. I looked at it. Of course, I had nothing. 67 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: I was a state prosecutor working two night jobs. I 68 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: think I had like three dollars seriously with me, and 69 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: I gave her everything I had, and I just felt 70 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: so bad that I didn't have more than that for her. Okay, 71 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I the blue. The next night, my now husband said, hey, 72 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: let's go to Houston's and get a chicken salad. I'm 73 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: like great, So I went over there. Guests who came 74 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: up to me and the parking lot the same woman, 75 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 1: this time with a man, a grown man, a woman 76 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: and a baby. And I don't know what I was thinking, 77 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: because I tell my children, if somebody approaches you or 78 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: even looks you in the eyes and a parking lot, 79 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: walk away quickly. Honey. I let loose on them, like 80 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: nobody's business about using a child out in a parking 81 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: lot at that time. Of I don't know what I thought, 82 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: like what I had on a bulletproof vest I gave. 83 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: I took them to Helen back about using that baby 84 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: and the baby should be at home and whatever, and 85 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: I immediately called nine one one and had them report. 86 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if they actually got them or not 87 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: to get the baby out of that situation. My point 88 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: is children are used. Children are used for the parents' goals, 89 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: and this is a perfect example of that. Putting your 90 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: teen children in an armed bank robbery situation. The victims 91 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: at the bank and the guards at the bank, they 92 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: have no idea these are children. Yeah, I think there's 93 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: no question from the news reports as actually Wilcot just said, 94 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: I agree, desperation is even an understatement. You know. It 95 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: sounds of his father who was experiencing financial problems and 96 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: grief and worry, and the judgment that was them clemented 97 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. There had to be rationalizations where he's thinking, 98 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: no one's getting harmed because we're not using real guns. 99 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: My kids are going to be safe. We can't possibly 100 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: get caught, and clearly anyone can recognize that's just not 101 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: the case. The tellers alone or obviously put its great 102 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: risk in the harm, probably because of the trauma. They 103 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: don't know. The guns weren't they were being used, weren't real, 104 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: So it would make sense that some of them could have, 105 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, horrible emotional and psychological reactions after that. Police 106 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: officers responding to the scene are speeding to get there 107 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: as quickly as they can and putting themselves and anyone 108 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: else on the road at risk. The kids, you know, 109 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: his children, even though they're adults, I mean, what would 110 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: happen to their their sense of their own values and morality, 111 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: And from some of the news reports, clearly there's a 112 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: lot of guilt and shame and embarrassment afterwards. And so 113 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, it's it's clear when things 114 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: become that extreme judgment went out the window and put 115 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: everyone at risk, even even when someone thinks they're than 116 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: a chance of people getting hurt. I mean, clearly everyone 117 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: involved and even customers in the bank would put at risk. 118 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: Anyone could have started a gun fight at any point. 119 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: You're so right, Because Vincent Hill cop turned PI, author 120 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: of playbook to a murder on Amazon Vincent Hill. When 121 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: doctor Ryan Fuller says they weren't using real guns, he's right. 122 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: The teams may not have been using real guns. But 123 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you this Vincent Hill, the security guards 124 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: had real guns. If the cops get there in time, 125 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: they have real guns. What about that? That's right, Nancy. 126 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: And I can't tell you how many police shootings have 127 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: occurred by people who had fake guns. Think about Tami 128 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: or Rights and all these other countless police shootings. And 129 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: I was in a situation where I almost shot a 130 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: team who had a fake gun. So the fact that 131 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: it was fake security doesn't know it. Police definitely don't 132 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: know it. All they know is they're responding to an 133 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: armed robbery because even though it's a plastic gun or 134 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: a fake gun, the intent of the robbery makes it 135 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: an armed robber. So police would react with what they 136 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: think is deadly, forced and frankly ash Wolcott. The law 137 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: specifically states regarding armed robbery. It is in black and white. 138 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: The statutory code is that an armed robbery is when 139 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: you use a weapon or a facsimile their ob That's 140 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: what the word facts means, facsimile. It is a representation 141 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: of the original document. That's what the law means. You 142 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: can have a toy gun or something that looks like 143 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: a gun is still treated as an armed robbery. The 144 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: effect on the victims is the same, Ashley, That's what 145 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: I was going to say. It's because of the effect 146 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: on the victim and the perception. So someone's not going 147 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: to necessarily know, oh it's a fake gun, oh it's 148 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: a real gun, and so the law has to reflect 149 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: that in order to protect the people that are being robbed, 150 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: and also to make it clear it doesn't matter if 151 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: you're pretending a gun or not. The intent is you're 152 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: using a deadly weapon to actually steal. Take a listen 153 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: to our friends at twenty twenty, she really wanted my help. 154 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: His mind, two people could be much more successful on it, 155 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: but maybe a third would be even better, and there 156 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: was just one cat left to choose. Scott told Hayden 157 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: to talk to his sister into joining their gang. She 158 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: was a high school senior, just three months shy of graduating. 159 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: My dad sent my brother to ask me. Your dad 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: sent your brother to ask you, yeah, to rob backs 161 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: with him. Yeah. And then the next day my dad 162 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: just basically laid it all out, you know, buying a 163 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: new car, I mean to an apartment. Could you have asked, well, 164 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: why don't you just give me the money? Why do 165 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: I have to be a bank robber with you? No, 166 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: I never asked.

And 215 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: you asked you Walcott, don't made me play it back, 216 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: said desperate times.

Probably more than 240 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: they have been shot down in banks. But think about it. 241 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: The cops are chasing a car you've got a teen 242 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: girl driving the car. You've got the dad in the 243 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: back seat to talk about a backseat driver heckling the 244 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: girl as she's trying to get away from an armed 245 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: robbery with a trash bag full of stolen money, and 246 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: the dad is in the back seat egging her on 247 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: and attacking her verbally about the way she's driving. He 248 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: makes the boy go in and steal, and the girl 249 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: drive the getaway and he's in the back seat laying hello. 250 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: How many people die every month, every week in getaway cars, Nancy. 251 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: One of the worst red Cyber worked while I was 252 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: in patrol was a mom and her son who were 253 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: killed from a car that was splinging from police. And 254 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: the sad part about this, Nancy, is typically the person 255 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: that's fleeing from police aren't the ones that are injured. 256 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: It's always the innocent family that just happened to be 257 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: caught in the crossfire. If you will, this high speed 258 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: chase over something so foolish as robbing a bank so 259 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: you can go buy liquor and cars and all of 260 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: this stuff, Nancy, But every day in this country, someone 261 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: is dying. Be can I'll tell you about that about liquor. 262 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: You know, the other night I had Lucy. I went 263 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: to her new girl Scout troop at our church. It 264 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: was late at night and I was sitting there listening. 265 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: They were talking about drugs and alcohol. Speaking of look her, 266 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: I learned the other night, once you get hooked on alcohol, 267 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: you only have a twelve percent chance of ever getting 268 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: off of it. With drugs, it's a lot, a lot worse. 269 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: Like with meth, you've got a three percent chance of 270 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: beating it. I looked over at Lucy Ashley, you know, 271 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: Lucy very very well. I looked over at Lucy, and 272 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: they had up the meth face, you know, with the 273 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: face covered in sores where the people think there's bugs 274 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: on them and they scratch them off. If you could 275 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: have seen that child's face, I almost started laughing, but 276 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: I knew it was too serious to laugh. I think 277 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: they scared her. So let's just say that I think 278 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: she'll get through the sixth grade without trying meth. Now 279 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm crossing myself right now, but my point is the 280 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: bank robbery is the worst part. The guns the worst part. 281 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: But on top of that, when they get the bank money, 282 00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: he gives them liquor. Their teens. This is so screw rude. Up, Ashley, 283 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: help me, you know, I wish I could help you. Nancy. 284 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, being on the bench and seeing 285 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: offenses all day long. When I'm on the bench, nothing 286 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: surprises me anymore. It this really makes me sick to 287 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: my stomach because parents are supposed to protect their children, 288 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: are supposed to instill in their children the things that 289 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: are right and wrong and how to be kind and 290 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: how to not break the law. Instead this person, And 291 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: again I'm saying person not father. This is not a father. 292 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: This is not a father. This is someone who is 293 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: not only teaching his children wrong instead of right, he's 294 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: actually using his children to his advantage by committing crimes 295 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: that could have resulted in them even being killed. You know, Ashley, 296 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: how much do I obsess over the twins? Like how 297 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: many times have I cornered you and this parking lot 298 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: or that parking lot when I spot you and go? 299 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: Do you think band is too much? Because is it 300 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: going to take too much time away from studying? And 301 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: what about drama?

I'm worried about them going to a drama 304 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: class and this guy has his kids and a getaway car. 305 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: How did it all start? Listen a light to him 306 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: about it, and I told him I was going to quit, 307 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: but I didn't do quite a bit behind their back, 308 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: and some of it in plain sight. There were arrests. 309 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: There was brawling, disorderly conduct, and a new more expensive vice, cocaine. 310 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: He says, three four round a week, and the kids 311 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: often found themselves assuming the roles of parents. Times went 312 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: on the lunch break in school. I was going to 313 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: pay the light bill and I picked up his clothes 314 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: from the dry cleaner.

That's when he approached 320 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: me and said, would you be willing to do something 321 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: to get some money more illegal than selling drugs? And 322 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: I said yes.

They walked into 340 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: the bank with orange construction vest sign. Did you carry 341 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: a gun in there? No, which bees a little BB gun, 342 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: but it looked real. Yeah. I remember a few people's 343 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: face Still, what was their reaction? Total shock? The terror Yeah, 344 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: they were scared, terrified. Definitely, their take after two bank 345 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: robberies over one hundred thousand dollars, Holly, Molly, you're hearing 346 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: our buddy Matt Gutman over at ABC's twenty twenty over 347 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars after the first bank robbery. Then 348 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: suddenly they needed more money than more money, than more money. 349 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: You know that's something in people's psyche. Doctor Ryan Fuller 350 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: are clinical psychologist, executive director in The York Behavioral Health. 351 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's like drugs. You get the first hit 352 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: and then you want some more or money. I'm telling you, 353 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: the love of money the root of all evil. You 354 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: get a paycheck and then suddenly you want some more. 355 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: You want more and more and more. Is feeding the 356 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: be same thing here? What is it about as humans? 357 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: Why do we always want more and more of everything? 358 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: One of the things that came to mind has almost 359 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: sounded like someone who has a gambling addiction, and the 360 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: son Hayden actually even described it that way that it 361 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: almost felt like an addiction. They couldn't get enough, and 362 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: if you see kind of the behavior, you know they 363 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: have they have plans about what they're gonna do with 364 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: the money and they're gonna, you know, save it and 365 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: open a coffee shop, I think was one of the plans. 366 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: But then as soon as as soon as they have 367 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: all this cash in hand, you know, ends up being 368 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: spent on things that are just sort of short term 369 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: fixes to two emotional problems in the fear and escaping 370 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: from reality. And then unfortunately they're in the same same 371 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: situation again and put at risk in going back into 372 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: the casino the same way a gambler does, rationalizing that 373 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 1: this will fix it. And the cyclodist continues, but can 374 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: I ask you a question, and you're gonna have to 375 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: dummy down for me, doctor Fuller. Is there something in 376 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: people's brains? I know they've done all the studies on 377 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: rats where you give them a little cocaine and then 378 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: they get addicted and they perform all sorts of experiments 379 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: on them. I'm not talking about drugs. I'm talking about 380 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: experiences like gambling, like taking risks, like sexoholics, something that's 381 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: non substance related, like robbing banks. Is there some type 382 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: of an addiction to adrenaline that is there something physical 383 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: in your body or your brain that makes you want 384 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: to keep doing it more and more and more. Yeah, 385 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: there can be. So one of the first studies I 386 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: worked on when I was very young graduate school actually 387 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: was was a casino study. Was actually looking at how 388 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: do people kind of become addicted and get hooked by 389 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: stop machines. And you know, these casinos they actually study 390 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: this so they can come up with the right amount 391 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: of money payoff and the right ratio. And so when 392 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: people are involved in gambling or you could mentioned you know, 393 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: sex edition and things like that, there's a blast of 394 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: things like dopamine. All these pleasure centers get lit up, 395 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: and obviously that feels really good and it's very reinforcing. 396 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: And if you think about the reality of those people's 397 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: lives outside of robbing the bank and the big payoff, 398 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: not a lot of fun. I mean, running from bills 399 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: and coming back to you know, feeling like you're bankrupt 400 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: and you're not feeling good about yourself. And then the 401 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're in this exciting experience, you know, 402 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, your brain is being flooded 403 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: with excitement and all this stuff. Even even if there's 404 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: danger involved, this is a high level of arousal and 405 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: that can become quite addictive. Wow. Okay, so dopamine joining 406 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: me right now now, Crime online dot Com and Investigative 407 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: Reporter where you can find this and all other breaking 408 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: crime and justice needs Ellen colorin Ellen. I need the 409 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of this case. Right now. I only 410 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: know about a dad really forcing, through the art of persuasion, 411 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: his children to perform armed bank robberies. Then he declares 412 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: bankruptcy multiple times because all that money just isn't enough 413 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: for him. So let's just start at the beginning. What happened, Deka, 414 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: well Nancy. Things started off good for Scott kat He 415 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: married his high school sweetheart Best Say. They lived in 416 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: Orderon in a beautiful home. They had two children, and 417 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: then tragically his wife best got cancer and she died 418 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: very young. It's just two years later when Abigail was 419 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: just a baby, and Scott says he just couldn't handle it. 420 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: He fell apart. He had a good job as a 421 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: structural engineer, but he was drinking, he was doing drugs, 422 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: he was partying. He wasn't being the present father. Wait 423 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait wait e K I'm slow down, 424 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm jinking from the fire hydrant here. You're hitting me 425 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: with too much too fast, Ellen, don't be surprised at 426 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: Sometimes in law school, with an especially long sentence in 427 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: one of these Supreme Court rulings, I'd have to read 428 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: the sentence like three or four times and break it 429 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: down into parts and then interpret it and write it 430 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: in the you know, the side of the page so 431 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: I could understand it. I gotta do that with you. 432 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: I gotta break down what you just said. Now. I 433 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: get it that he was married to his high school sweetheart, Beth, 434 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: they have the children, then suddenly Beth passes away. The 435 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: children are babies, and you said he fell apart. But 436 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: did I just hear you say partying? Because in my mind, 437 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: grieving for your high school sweetheart turned wife turned mom 438 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: of your children, parting does not really fit into that 439 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: scenario from me. Now, did you just say that word partying? Yeah? 440 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: And I guess probably a better word would be bar crawling. Um, 441 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't, oh number one. Technically, technically that's two words. 442 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: But bar crawling to me is even worse. I mean, 443 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: where are your children while you're, as you say, bar crawling? 444 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: Where are the babies? Where were they? Well, once, once 445 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: they were older, they were they were really on their own. Um, 446 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: they weren't. They were having to take when they were teenagers. 447 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: They were having to pay bills for the holes. Okay, 448 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're going so fast. I asked you 449 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: where were the babies, and suddenly they're teenagers in your mind, Eka, 450 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: paying bills. Basically as she will caught, they were raised 451 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: like bears in a cave. The father just goes off 452 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: bar crawling and leaves the children at home. As I 453 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: used to say to David, those babies ain't going to 454 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: change their diapies theirselves get in there. So I mean, 455 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: who's taking care of these children? The mom passes away tragically. 456 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: She seemed to be the glue that holds the family 457 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: to other and the dad's out at the bar. Hello, Yeah, 458 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: he's not raising them. I would suggest that it's not 459 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: even raising them like bears. He's not raising his children. 460 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: He is focused on himself, egocentric, doing whatever he wants. 461 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: He is not raising his children. He's leaving them to 462 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: raise themselves. Oh okay, Eka, not that you have misreported anything. 463 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: It's me. It's not you. I feel like we're breaking up. 464 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: It's me, not you. Explain to me again. So let's 465 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: just pick off before the teams are paying bills. I 466 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: want to get back to the babies at home alone 467 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: while dad's at the bar. Part the mom passes away, 468 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: he goes spiraling down, And seriously, I'm kind of like 469 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: pulling your leg a little bit, KA, because grief takes 470 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: all sorts off forms. You can become an alcoholic, you 471 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: can become depressed and commit suicide, you can go in 472 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: a sex spiral, you can do all sorts of things 473 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: you would normally do had you not lost the person 474 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: you love. So I'm actually not judging him for the 475 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: bar crawling, except for the fact that children are at 476 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: home alone, so they go into a period of mourning. 477 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: But what happens then, you know what, I'll advance you 478 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: up to the ten years. What happened well, because of 479 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: the drinking and the excessive spending. Even though Scott has 480 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: a good job, he he doesn't feel like enough, he's 481 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: not making ends meet like he wants to. And his 482 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: own father worked at a bank and that's what puts 483 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: the idea in his mind that maybe he can rob 484 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: a bank, because he remembers as a child his father 485 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: coming home from work one day and saying, we were 486 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: robbed today at the bank, and young Scott says, well 487 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: what about the money, and the father says, don't worry, 488 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: We're insured. So Scott's thinking, even if I take this 489 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: money from the bank, they're going to get it back. 490 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: So he's already rationalizing it, I'm not really stealing it 491 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: at all because they're going to have it replaced. Wow. Okay, 492 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: so all this really started when the dad was a 493 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: kid and his dad, who worked at a bank, comes 494 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: home and says, we were robbed. That's a yes. No. 495 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Did I get that right? Eka? Okay, so this is 496 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: what I know. Also, the children, Hayden Abbey did manage 497 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: to attend mcmnville High School. They were both honor students 498 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: and members of the swimming team, so he was doing 499 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: something right. Scott kat was the president of the mcmanville 500 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: Swim Club board of directors. He was very well respected 501 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: in the community. But then he loses his job again. 502 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: His house becomes foreclosed. He got connected with a corporate 503 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: head hunter who specialized in engineering and relocated to Texas. 504 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: It was then in an entirely new environment. His children 505 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: drop out of school. Abby goes to live with her grandmother. 506 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: Hayden moves to Hawaii, to work at a resort, but 507 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: pretty soon they all pared back up in Texas. They 508 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: were then living in a middle class community outside Katie, Texas, 509 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: a suburb of Houston, and they appeared to be everyday, harmless, 510 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: regular people. And kat was holding out a very well 511 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: paid job as an engineer, trying to figure this whole 512 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: thing out. Abby worked at a mall, Hayden was trying 513 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: to get established as a concierge in a hotel, and 514 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: then suddenly they end up with guns in their hands. 515 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. But the loop isn't exactly 516 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: divide it up evenly according to the kids, what percentage 517 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: were they willing to give you? Did you feel like 518 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: ten percent was enough? Oh? Yeah, because I never even 519 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: had that much money, so a whole life. Nine thousand 520 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: dollars It was enough for me, enough to buy a 521 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: very practical used forward focus and more of those manicures. 522 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: I know the part that I played really wrong, but 523 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: it was my family, and that the LOYALTYAMS was greater 524 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: at that point, but her father and brother seemed more 525 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: loyal to the cold hard cash that was coming in 526 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: and to blowing it fast, shopping cars, partying, really nothing 527 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: to show for it. When the comforts of daily life 528 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: include Jack Daniel's new Chevy Tahoe Harley and a swank 529 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: New Houston apartment. Even one hundred gees can disappear pretty fast, 530 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: and for the Cat family that meant one thing. Time 531 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: to go back to work. Had you planned another heist? Yeah? 532 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: I think we're going to do probably one or two 533 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: more that day. Yeah, welcome back, everybody. A dad, Scott 534 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: Cat brings his own children into violent and armed bank robberies. I, 535 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, this is crime Stories. Thanks for being with us, 536 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: so Eka, now you're hearing my buddy over at twenty 537 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: twenty that was Matt Gutman. And now to the point 538 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: where they're doing multiple bank robberies a day. Yeah, this 539 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: is at the point where Scott has really he's had 540 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: success on his own as a bank robber. He's gotten 541 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: away with it for years in Orgon, and now he 542 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: thinks that he's so good at it he voluntarily decides 543 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: to quit his job and become a full time bank robber. 544 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: But he also decides that in order to make this 545 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: a full time profession now he needs to recruit his 546 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: two children, one of them who was still in high school. 547 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: And how did he do it? How did he manage 548 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: to recruit them and convince them to do this thing? Well, 549 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: he started with his son, Hayden. He went to Hayden 550 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: and he said, listen, I have something to tell you. 551 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: I've been a bank robber for a long time and 552 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: I've got I'm good at it, but now I kind 553 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: of want to expand. And he convinced Hayden that this 554 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: was an okay thing to do because he had a 555 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: track record of getting away with it for so long. 556 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: So Hayden, wanting to be loyal to his father, believes 557 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. Maybe I should just go 558 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: along with this. And then instead of just talking to 559 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: his own daughter himself, he sends his son, who's very 560 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: close with his sister, to convince her. So he's already 561 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: having the sun do the dirty work. I mean, this 562 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: goes all the way back to around two thousand when 563 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Scott kat the father, drops the children off at school, 564 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: then goes to a nearby bank wearing a ball cap, 565 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: black sweats, a white painter's mask, and sunglasses. He threatens 566 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: the tellers. He has an unloaded antique pistol and he 567 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: walks away with nearly three thousand dollars. I guess that 568 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: was a lot for that time. But then a few 569 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: days later, police issue a granny surveillance photo of Kat. 570 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: From the surveillance footage, then they say, I got a question, 571 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: that says my mother says the man the photo looked 572 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: like me, and I laughed. Kat said, oh, it was 573 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: the grandmother. So when this came across the airwaves, the 574 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: grandmother Scott Kat's mother said, wow, that guy kind of 575 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: looks like you, and Kat just laughs and they all 576 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: go out to dinner. He managed to get away with it. 577 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: After the first heist, he was addicted. Listen to this. 578 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: It was August two thousand and six when the masked 579 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 1: man robbed the first Federal bank on Baker Creek Road. 580 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: He didn't show a gun. A year later, this photo 581 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: was snapped of a masked man robbing the Washington Mutual 582 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: Bank on Highway ninety nine in Mcminville. Please say, it 583 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: looks like he has a gun and he got away 584 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: with a few thousand dollars. We don't know if the 585 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: kids were involved in the local robberies. It was kind 586 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: of surreal and didn't weren't believe it. Abbey's roommate paid 587 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: her a visit in jail this weekend. If it were 588 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: anybody else asking her to do that, she would never 589 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: have done. I think out of loyalty. She felt like 590 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: she ought to. Detectives believed the trio pulled off seven 591 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: bank heists in two states while wearing different disguises. Federal 592 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: courts records show that Ronald Scott Kat had declared bankruptcy 593 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: twice in two thousand and three and two thousand and five, 594 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: but those bankruptcies were dismissed. Okay, I got so many 595 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: questions here to doctor Ryan Fuller. I need to shrink 596 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: doctor Fuller. Two questions. One is about a spend a holic. 597 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: You see on TV, the people that lay around on 598 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: their sofa all day in order from like the shopping network, 599 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: all those shopping networks, and it doesn't even seem real 600 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: that they're buying stuff. And I actually have a friend 601 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: who shall remain anonymous, who has closets full of stuff. 602 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: She gets these good deals going on eBay of like sheets, 603 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: sets and comforters and knickknacks. It's just stuffed. Every closet 604 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: is stuffed with stuff that it's not even opened up. 605 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: And she's so proud. Hey, I got this for whatever 606 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: X amount of money. She's so proud. But I'm like, 607 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: what are you going to do with all this stuff? 608 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: So is there some kind of an addiction about spending? 609 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: Is this guy's already declared bankruptcy twice? Doctor Fuller? Well? 610 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: Spending on those kinds of things sometimes we call it 611 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: retail therapy or alcoholic or these sort of process or 612 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: behavioral addictions. We certainly do see people present that way 613 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: in our center, and they do. They do that at 614 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: many of the behaviors of other addicts, people who struggle 615 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: with substances. They may not have physical withdrawals in the 616 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: same way, but they do seem to get these, you know, 617 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: huge bursts of excitement and get lit up when they're 618 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: actually making purchases, even when money is low. But what 619 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: you see afterwards the courses that is the dip. You 620 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: know once again they're you know, sad, disappointed, board want 621 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: more money of colorful yeah, and then they have to 622 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: go back and do whatever they need to do to 623 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: to get that hit hit again. You know, what about 624 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: getting a job? You know. Vincent hill Cop turned pi 625 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: author of playbook to a murder on Amazon Vincent another 626 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: thing that is really fascinating me, and I'm not admiring it. 627 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: It's more like looking at a snake underglass box that 628 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: kind of fascination. This guy, Scott Kat had a complete 629 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: double life. Everybody was convinced he was this awesome dad. 630 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: He made a point of cooking dinner for his children 631 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: every night, and there in mcminville he was thought of 632 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: as a single dad who supported his children, took them 633 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: on summer trips to amusement parks, president of the swim club. 634 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: How many criminals actually have I say, a day job, 635 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: in other words, a facade they were to everybody else 636 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: except when they're committing crimes. Yeah, Nancy, it's more common 637 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: than people think. And there's a second element to this 638 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: double life. We heard talks of cocaine, and in the 639 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: words of Rick James, cocaine's a hell of a drug. 640 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people that are addicted 641 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: to drugs that go out and do things to get 642 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: those drugs that people have no clue was going on 643 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: in that person's life. And I think Kat is a 644 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: prime example of that, no doubt about it. And ultimately, 645 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: of course, at all came crashing down police in Texas 646 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: told us when the father, son, and daughter were arrested, 647 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: the father admitted to five robberies in Oregon, but that 648 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: was the extent of the information. Well, today, Mcmanville police 649 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: tell me there is a strong possibility that they are 650 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: the suspects in their two unsolved bank robberies. This all 651 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: came to light when sheriff's deputy is near Houston, Texas, 652 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: arrested Ronald Scott Kat and his children, Hayden and Abbey 653 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: last week. Detectives say the father and son wore construction 654 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: vests and had guns. Hayden wore a fake mustache, while 655 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: Abby drove the getaway car back in Mcminville, where the 656 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: family used to live and the kids had been honor 657 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: students and competitive swimmers at Mcmanville High School. Police tell 658 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 1: me they're looking at whether the father is the man 659 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: in this photo. So Ellen Lauren, they all pled guilty. 660 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: What was the sentence on Abbey.
