00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:10.240
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast where I tell stories of real crimes

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.839
with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:25.239
is this even real? I use
my experiences in law enforcement corrections, and

4
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.039
combined with my years as a criminal
justice educator, dig deep into complex cases

5
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:51.079
of evil acts, some so evil
many feel they are unspeakable. Warning,

6
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.679
Unspeakable is intended for mature audiences.
If you are easily offended, then I'm

7
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.679
not your girl. Listening discretion is
advised. Hey, y'all, Kelly Jenning's

8
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.320
here. I'm back for another episode
of Unspeakable. How are y'all doing?

9
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.920
What is going on? Listen?
I don't know what kind of mindset you're

10
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.000
in right now, but it's the
end of the school year, and as

11
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.319
y'all know, I don't podcast full
time. I teach full time, and

12
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.719
mama's ready for some summer. Mama's
ready. I'm about done. Okay,

13
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.079
So you need to tell your kids, if you have kids, be nice

14
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.239
to their teachers, because we are
losing our minds at this point. But

15
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.120
before I get started on today's episode, I want to remind y'all, Hey,

16
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.359
if y'all work at the Crime Lab. I'm gonna be at that Louisiana

17
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.200
Forensics Association conference this week that this
episode is dropping, and so I'll get

18
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.000
to see y'all, So come say
hey to me if I'm there, so

19
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.799
I don't feel like a like I'm
by myself. I want to come meet

20
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.079
everybody, but I'll be speaking and
I'm pretty excited. I got some good

21
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.519
stuff for y'all that I'm gonna be
putting out in my little show that I'm

22
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.159
gonna do for you. Also,
I have to say hello to a new

23
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.239
Crime Family member that added this week. And her name is miss Mary Snipes

24
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.959
and she is from Pembroke, Georgia. And I gotta give Georgia a shout

25
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.120
out. Man. We were looking
at some statistics, me and Noel,

26
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.759
Jimothy and Georgia's rocking it out.
Georgia likes some unspeakable So y'all tell your

27
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.479
friends, tell everybody to listen.
I'm really appreciating y'all. But I also

28
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.919
have to give Dallas and Houston.
I mean, Texas ain't playing Texas is

29
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:27.319
there. I really really hope that
Bregman is listening to me from the Astros.

30
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.800
If you're listening. Breggie Pooh,
I've been your fan for a hot

31
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.960
minute since you were playing baseball.
But I've also got Denham Springs and Baton

32
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.039
Rouge and New Orleans. Y'all are
killing it too, So thank y'all so

33
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.800
much for listening. It means everything
whenever you download and listen to my episodes.

34
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.560
It is literally a labor of love
to do these episodes, so I'm

35
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.159
so glad that y'all are enjoying them. Now, the case I'm gonna do

36
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.840
today, I want you to know
it's an older one. It's got a

37
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.240
current event though that's gonna tie into
it, so you might really enjoy this.

38
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.159
So I'm gonna take it back to
i'ma City now. This was in

39
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.840
nineteen eighty six, so I was
only two when this occurred. But we're

40
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.560
gonna keep going back if we have
to, because these victims need their stories

41
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.000
should still be still be heard.
And this is going to be about two

42
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.680
women that lived together, Michael Ann
Went and her roommate who happened to be

43
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.960
her sister. Her name was Rebecca, and they lived together in an apartment

44
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.479
and there were just two young girls, just you know, living their life,

45
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.159
getting out on their own and doing
what young girls do right, just

46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.159
trying to make a living and make
their mark on the world. Well,

47
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.719
the morning of March thirty first,
Michael Anne left because she had an appointment

48
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.080
in Fort Walton Beach, Florida,
which hey shout out to Fort Walton Beach.

49
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.439
I love going there. We go
to Destin all the time and we

50
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.879
go to that area. It's beautiful. So I know why she was going

51
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.240
there. She probably wanted to go
see some beautiful sights. I don't know

52
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.400
that, actually, but I get
it. So she left to go to

53
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.520
her appointment, but her sisters stayed
back, and Rebecca was her sister,

54
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.599
and she said at the apartment and
she decided, did you know what,

55
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.199
I think I'm gonna go do some
laying out this morning. It was a

56
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.439
beautiful day. The sun was out, so she went outside of the apartment

57
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.400
complex, went out by the pool, and she was outside sunbathing until about

58
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.599
eleven forty five am. The reason
that we know that is because there was

59
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.720
another female resident that lived at the
apartment complex. I don't have her name.

60
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.120
I did look for it, and
I didn't find it. At the

61
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.680
time that I'm coming in to record
this for you, but she was also

62
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.959
outside sunbathing, and she said that
she stayed sunbathing until about twelve thirty that

63
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.480
day. So it was described as
a normal day. It was quiet,

64
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.759
everybody was simply going about their business, just another typical day at the apartment

65
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:44.319
complex. Well, later that afternoon, Michael End returned to the apartment and

66
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.879
it had been some hours right because
she was gone on her at her appointment,

67
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.879
and so she goes up and walks
into the apartment, but she is

68
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.480
utterly shocked when she finds that Rebecca's
body is in the bathroom and it's wrapped

69
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.560
in a comforter. So she's like, oh my god, my sister.

70
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.879
She calls nine one one, but
unfortunately, by the time that nine one

71
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.399
one got there, there was really
nothing that could be done and she was

72
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:09.480
pronounced dead. So investigators were called
to the scene, and while they're looking

73
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.839
around the apartment trying to figure out
what's going on, they observed a couple

74
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.720
of things. They had footprints,
bloody footprints all over the apartment and at

75
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.680
various places throughout the apartment. So
it wasn't like this crime scene was just

76
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.360
like one small area. It was
all over the place and in addition to

77
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.759
that, they found bloody fingerprints throughout
the apartment, but also on the victim's

78
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.920
purse and on her wallet, So
you know, it makes you immediately wonder,

79
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.279
okay, well, is this going
to be, you know, a

80
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.519
robbery? Is that the ultimate goal
of why this person broke in? Did

81
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.600
she scare them? Did she surprise
them? You know, why would he

82
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.120
choose that apartment? It kind of
makes you wonder, you know why that

83
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.240
one. Something else that investigators noticed
while they were in there was that when

84
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.639
they unrolled Rebecca from the comforter,
that her swimsuit was displaced. It was

85
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.959
still on her, but it wasn't
like in the normal you know places that

86
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.399
you would expect the swimsuit to be. So okay, now we have a

87
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.480
possible sexual motive. Is immediately what
you would jump to. Why would someone

88
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.920
swimsuit be you know, disheveled and
then rolled into you know, a comforter.

89
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.759
Sex and money or two of the
oldest motives in the book, right.

90
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.600
I mean, if anything, there's
any reason someone's going to kill somebody,

91
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.079
it's going to be sex, revenge, money. You know, there's

92
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.639
really no other things that usually get
people wanting to kill others except revenge,

93
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.360
and this didn't seem like this was
someone who necessarily knew her. But it

94
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.959
was very obvious that Rebecca had suffered
what looked to be multiple knife wounds when

95
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.439
they were looking at her body.
So they take her to the morgue and

96
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.160
the autopsy revealed that she sustained are
you ready for this, not one,

97
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:53.360
not six, not ten, but
thirty seven stab wounds to her upper body.

98
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.879
Thirty seven. This isn't all out
slaughter of this woman. It's not

99
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.480
like someone was trying to just go, you know, ju ju jug and

100
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.879
then get out of there. They
took the time to absolutely annihilate her with

101
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.920
a knife. When looking at her
body, they also noticed that she had

102
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.199
a bunch of defensive wounds on her
hands. Now, I know everyone's probably

103
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.199
heard of defensive wounds, but I
thought i'd go a little bit deeper into

104
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.720
this so you can understand why they're
called defensive wounds. But they are more

105
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.959
often than not going to be found
on the hands of someone who has been

106
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.879
attacked or involved in a fight,
And normally when we describe them as defensive

107
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.120
wounds, they're going to be found
on the hands, the fingers, on

108
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.160
the arm or the forearm of the
person that's been attacked, and even sometimes

109
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.800
the attacker, because you never know
what all went on during the fight.

110
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.399
So just because someone survives doesn't mean
that they don't actually still have the defensive

111
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:54.240
wounds. Now, whenever and you
know a body is being looked at,

112
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.360
even though you see these defensive wounds, it doesn't just say, oh,

113
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.680
yeah, there was a fight.
You can actually learn a lot from the

114
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.319
play spin of the defensive wounds,
how many of they are there are,

115
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.519
and things of that nature. So
some of the things you can also find

116
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.439
out is how much of a struggle
did the victim put up right, So

117
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.319
if they're not struggling at all,
maybe they weren't, maybe they were knocked

118
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.079
out or unconscious whenever this happened.
But if they are all over their body,

119
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.959
then they're going to be showing how
much of a frenzy the attacker was

120
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.120
in. And I like the word
frenzy because it kind it kind of denotes

121
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.439
what I mean by when someone is
just going after somebody. If you're an

122
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.200
all out frenzy, there seems to
be sometimes no rhyme or reason to what's

123
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.759
happening. But many violent crimes tend
to leave the victim's hands and arms covered

124
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.279
in these wounds, and the blade
of a knife is something that is common.

125
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.039
You can also see biting or scratching, and sometimes you even can see

126
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.159
clawing, like if someone was clawing
at the ground trying to get away,

127
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.120
their fingers might be tore up,
their nails ripped off. And violent crimes

128
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.000
that you see defensive wounds in often
include things like rape, murder, assault,

129
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.360
and even robbery. But for the
most part, assault, rape and

130
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.159
murder are the most common crimes to
have defensive wounds. And like I said,

131
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.200
you know they're on the on the
hands, and on the arms,

132
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.360
but that's because the victims trying to
protect their face and their upper body from

133
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.919
the attack of the assailant. But
think about it, I mean, if

134
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.840
you were being attacked, you know, most people do try to protect their

135
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.879
computer. I mean, that's what
I call the brain right, protect your

136
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.440
computer because if you get knocked out, you can't defend yourself. I mean,

137
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.679
even when you're shooting. When I
was learning you know, shooting and

138
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.799
defensive tactics. When you're shooting,
you know, defensively speaking, you take

139
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:43.360
you know, with a pistol,
you take an Isosceles position and your head.

140
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.519
Your goal is to make it small
because when you make your head small

141
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.120
and you raise your gun up and
you punch out, it also helps to

142
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.240
ideally make your computer small makes it
harder to shoot. Hopefully they'll shoot your

143
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.039
your hands or your gun first before
it would actually just go a bullet straight

144
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.960
through the head. So if you
don't protect the computer or the brain,

145
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.000
then you don't want to be mortally
wounded. And looking at statistics, attacks

146
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.600
often take place at night and in
darkly lit areas, which also made this

147
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.720
crime a little bit more unusual.
This is broad daylight, you know,

148
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.919
I mean this was not you know, in the deep in the dark,

149
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.679
in the back, in the corner
of the booth. I mean, this

150
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:26.519
was right there where anyone could could
see. Basically so according to explore Forensics,

151
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.399
which is a site I like to
look at. In the case of

152
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.799
sexually related crime, assailants often bring
weapons with them and guess what. Most

153
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.279
often that weapon is a knife.
Well, this fits that motive perfectly because

154
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.000
it was knife wounds. It seems
to have a sexual nature to it because

155
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.919
their swimsuit was all disheveled. Now
the cuts, like I said, tend

156
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.919
to appear frenzied oftentime, like there's
no rhyme or reason behind them. And

157
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.320
that's because, in particular, when
we're talking about sexually motivated crimes, the

158
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.279
rush of adrenaline and excitement that the
attacker feels it's going to make them lash

159
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.320
out without thinking, and they're simply
just trying to overpower their victim. And

160
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.679
that seems to be the case here. There was blood everywhere, and yeah,

161
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.399
she's a woman. It doesn't say
any everything I read nothing said that

162
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.879
she was like a strong woman or
a large woman. So the average woman,

163
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.919
what five four to five to seven, she's young. I bet she

164
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.679
weighs what a buck twenty? I
mean, I don't know, but this

165
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.759
isn't some large woman. And you've
got someone who was able to powerfully overthrow

166
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.240
her, stab her thirty seven times, and then steal her shit. So

167
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.480
I don't know about you, but
it's already starting to irritate me. The

168
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.360
whole case is just starting to irritate
me. So you know, it's important

169
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.840
to remember at first glance that when
you're looking at the wounds of the victims,

170
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.679
it may seem like, oh,
well, this was just a last

171
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.600
ditch attempt to try to save yourself
from an attacker. But they're super important

172
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:01.399
to when we want to identify the
perpetrator because we can learn about the crime

173
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.200
based on the wounds. And when
a forensic pathologist is going to look at

174
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.720
these signs of self defense, they're
going to record them in multiple ways.

175
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.559
They're going to look at them pictorially, they're going to measure them, they'll

176
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.440
calculate their depth, the distance between
them, and they can basically construct an

177
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:24.240
analysis of information that could potentially include
the perpetrator's height, the direction that they

178
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.759
were attacked from, and other little
things that you wouldn't think necessarily mattered,

179
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.559
but they become big things whenever you're
trying to prove what happened, And in

180
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.519
this case, it helps to build
a profile of the attacker. But also,

181
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.440
what if there was a serial to
attacker on the loose, their m

182
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.399
O right, their modus operandi might
be brought to attention based on the wounds

183
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.240
of the victims. In this specific
case, the medical examiner concluded that the

184
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.480
potentially life threatening wounds were the ones
that she sustained to her neck, her

185
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.440
chest, and her abdomen, and
the medical examiner made a point to state

186
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.960
that you know, she didn't die
immediately. She could have died anywhere between

187
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.799
three to ten minutes after the first
stab wound. That matters to me.

188
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.600
That matters because that means that she
wasn't It wasn't like instantaneous death where she

189
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.639
was shot and she hit the ground
before she knew what happened. No,

190
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.799
she faced this person who viciously attacked
her, and then she had to lay

191
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.480
there and suffer for ten minutes by
chance, you know, up to ten

192
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:35.000
minutes before she finally you know,
lost her fight. But interestingly enough,

193
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:43.320
the examiner did not find evidence of
sexual contact on her or in her.

194
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.000
But guess what that lab did find, And this is going to be a

195
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.440
shout out to my crime lab people
that I go see this week, that

196
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:56.279
crime lab wasn't playing. They found
a seaman stain on the comforter that was

197
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:03.240
wrapped around Rebecca's body. Okay,
I'm not proud of this, but when

198
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.360
I was reading about this case,
I was like, how much damn seeming

199
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.799
to people leave behind like shit?
It seems like every time you listen to

200
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.919
a case there's seemen everywhere? Is
it shit dripping from the roof, like,

201
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.639
good God Almighty. So I did
the dirty work. Okay, I

202
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.679
know you think I'm weird. I
am, but I did the dirty work.

203
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:26.879
And I literally googled to my embarrassment
what is the normal volume of seamen

204
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.360
per deposit? And the answerer,
wait, go ahead, guess right now,

205
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.279
out loud in your car wherever you
are. Guess how much do you

206
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.840
think it is? Okay, boom, here we go. The normal volume

207
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.120
varies from one and a half to
five milli leaders per deposit. Now,

208
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.799
I don't know if you're like me, but numbers and math ain't my thing.

209
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.120
Okay. So then I was like, well shit, now I got

210
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.960
to do some type of calculation.
I gotta do some kind of conversion table

211
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.919
to know how much semen there is. So I did, and that's one

212
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:03.559
teaspoon basically, so while the man
jam may be small, it is super

213
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.799
spreadable. Not to self, be
careful if you're gonna rape somebody, because

214
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.600
that little teaspoon will end up everywhere, including the comforter that you rape.

215
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.600
I mean that you wrap your victim
up him. Okay, So back to

216
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.720
the crime scene. Remember that other
woman that was sunbathing at the same time,

217
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.360
as Rebecca, well, she's going
to turn out to be a freaking

218
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.759
hero. She gets in contact with
investigators and she tells them that she saw

219
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.159
a man walking around the complex about
twelve thirty that afternoon, and she said

220
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.279
that she even saw this guy walk
towards the Wentz apartment, which is Rebecca

221
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.559
went towards their apartment, and then
later on she saw him leave from the

222
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.360
direction of the Wentz apartment and then
walk into the woods. Okay, well

223
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.159
that's like creeper level one thousand,
right. So after some discussion, she

224
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.240
goes, wait a minute, I
think that was Daryl Barwick. I think

225
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.559
that's who that was that walked by. So old Darrel gets a little chitty

226
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.159
chat with the police and he don't
know nothing, y'all nothing. What are

227
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.440
they even talking about. He didn't
do anything even there. This is just

228
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.399
rude that they would even assume that
he was identified by someone who knew him.

229
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.440
So they get some DNA from him
and here goes the lab again,

230
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.840
and they conducted tests on the seamen
from the scene and Barwick's blood, and

231
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:36.120
the analysts determined that Barwick was within
two percent of the population who could have

232
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.919
left that stain. So that's what
we and the BIZ would call a clue

233
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:48.159
that it's probably him. And you
know, he just was denying this.

234
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.840
It was not him. It was
somebody else. He couldn't have been there.

235
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.320
But he would remain on the loose
for another two months. But that's

236
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.840
when he got click click, some
pretty little bracelets and a nice ride,

237
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.839
free ride to the jail because he
was put under arrest on April fifteenth,

238
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.319
nineteen eighty six. Well that's when
they get this fool up in the room,

239
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.799
start talking to him and he confesses
to the whole crime. Well,

240
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.680
you'd think signseal delivered there. It
is okay, he didn't do it.

241
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.839
And then as soon as they put
the cuffs on him, he's a little

242
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.480
bit and he rolls over and he
tells him, oh, yeah, it

243
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.160
was me, I did it.
But when asked about what happened, he

244
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.440
said that he saw Rebecca sunbathing while
he was at the apartment complex, but

245
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:38.640
he went home. Whenever he went
home, he parked his car, he

246
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.960
walked into his house, and he
got a knife from his house. Now,

247
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.279
why he got the knife, he's
not sure, right, why would

248
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.640
he grab the knife? He's not
sure. But then he walked back to

249
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.000
the apartment complex. So he drove
home, got a weapon, and then

250
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:59.759
walked back to the apartment complex where
he had seen Rebecca. And just like

251
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.680
that sunbathing woman had said, he
admitted that after he walked past her three

252
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.440
times. He said he walked by
and was checking her out in her swimsuit

253
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.519
three separate times. That's when she
got up went to her apartment, and

254
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.680
he decided that he would follow her. Now, in typical criminal style,

255
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:22.319
and this irks me. In typical
criminal style, he immediately starts to minimize

256
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:27.039
his role in what happened. Okay, because sure he killed her. He

257
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.720
just admitted to that Sherry stabbed her
thirty seven times. Sure he just happened

258
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.839
to have ejaculation on this in scene, and he just happened to wrap her

259
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:41.400
up in a blanket. But he
only intended to steal something. That's why

260
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.000
he went there. That was the
reason. He just wanted to steal something

261
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.200
from her, Because clearly, when
she was lying in her swimsuit, all

262
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:59.640
he could think about was how vovlluptuous
and sensual and sexy. Her bank account

263
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.880
was all that would go through his
mind. Right then, right, I'm

264
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.680
sure he just wanted to motor boat
his way right on into that wallet in

265
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.680
purse. That's all he was thinking
about, right, yeah, okay,

266
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:17.039
whatever. So that's real interesting because
the state, whenever he does go to

267
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.079
trial, did present evidence that showed
that when she was found, when we

268
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.960
said her swimsuit was disheveled, the
top portion of her swimsuit had been pulled

269
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.240
down so her breasts were out,
and the bottom portion of her swimsuit had

270
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.359
also been pulled down in the back. So I'm just curious. I've done

271
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:41.440
a lot of studying of criminals.
I'm not sure why exposing breasts and the

272
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:48.119
reproductive area of a female, why
that helps in robbery, But apparently that's

273
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.759
what he was going for. So
then he also, as usual, puts

274
00:19:52.799 --> 00:20:00.759
the blame at least vocally on Rebecca. On Rebecca because this is when he

275
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:07.119
states she resisted, she resisted,
and so he lost control and stabbed her.

276
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.079
She resisted, Well, I hope
she did, Podna. I sure

277
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.000
hope she did. I hope she
beat the hell out of you before you

278
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.920
killed her. I hope she scratched
you. I hope she kicked you in

279
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.759
your crotch. Hope she knocked your
teeth out. But he's gonna make it

280
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.480
like her fault almost, like if
she had not resisted, then he would

281
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.640
have not hurt her. Sure,
you just brought the knife to like,

282
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.960
what do a magic trick for her? Oh? Watch the knife. I

283
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.720
mean, why'd you bring it then
if you had no intentions of hurting her.

284
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.720
Get out of here with that crap. I hate when people do that.

285
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.640
The only reason he stabbed her,
he said, is because they struggled

286
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.079
and he started stabbing her and they
fell to the floor. He was only

287
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.880
there for a robbery. But I
did pull an appeal that he filed after

288
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:56.359
he was convicted, okay, And
the prosecution said their overall belief was that

289
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.519
he found an opportune time. He
was a crim all that you saw an

290
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.920
opportunity and he took it. That's
called an opportunist. And their quote was

291
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.680
the defendant, in a calculated manner, selected his victim and watched for that

292
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.119
opportune time he planned his crimes.
He selected a knife and I didn't know

293
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.039
this before I pulled the appeal,
but gloves. He even wore gloves on

294
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.279
his hands, and he also wore
a mask on his face so that he

295
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.759
would not be identified. If that's
not cold and calculating, I don't know

296
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.880
what is. He went with the
intention of leaving the vehicle so no one

297
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.279
would identify the vehicle. He got
a mask to cover his identity, he

298
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.039
put gloves on his hands, and
he brought a weapon. What more do

299
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.920
you need to know? Right,
And when struggling with the victim, the

300
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.799
mask was pulled from his face,
and knowing that he could be identified,

301
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:56.720
he proceeded in a cold, calculated
manner and with premeditation to kill her without

302
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.599
any pretense of moral or legal justification. The defendant had planned a sexual battery,

303
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.039
or burglary, or robbery or all
three, had armed himself to further

304
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.720
those purposes, and when a killing
became necessary, without any moral or legal

305
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:17.640
justification or remorse, he killed her. Bingo, my friends, I completely

306
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.000
concur with that statement. That sounds
exactly like what happened. And I can't

307
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.359
come up with another concept of why
he would even have been in the apartment.

308
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.880
And I know you're like, well
down, Kelly, that was a

309
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.880
short and to the point story.
Well, maybe you're right. Sometimes crime

310
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.440
is that way. It's short and
it's to the point. It was a

311
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.519
crime of opportunity. There's no lead
up to this. He didn't know her

312
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.119
beforehand, okay, but she suffered, y'all, and no matter how many

313
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.799
minutes it was, she was scared, and she fought valiantly. She fought

314
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:51.279
valiantly for her life. And thank
god that witness spoke up and was paying

315
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.160
attention, because to me, she's
a real hero for that part that she

316
00:22:53.279 --> 00:23:00.599
played. Now, I wanted to
tell you more about rebecca life, but

317
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.599
the age of the case made that
a little difficult for me. I even

318
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.119
made a point to call the police
department in Florida to see if I could

319
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:10.759
gather more information, but up till
the time right now of recording, I

320
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.000
really didn't get anything back on her
much more. Even searched Facebook, I

321
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.359
tried a lot to find stuff about
her. But what I can tell you,

322
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.400
though, is that Barwick was convicted
of first degree murder, armed burglary,

323
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:27.680
attempted sexual battery, and armed robbery
in November of nineteen eighty six.

324
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:34.960
Now, he was sentenced to death
on a jury's nine to three recommendations,

325
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:41.799
so it was not unanimous, but
amazingly the Supreme Court of Florida throughout that

326
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.440
conviction three years later because of what
they said was quote prosecutorial misconduct. So

327
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.799
I looked into what that misconduct possibly
could have been. This is the only

328
00:23:52.839 --> 00:24:00.000
thing that I really found. On
appeal. The court basically found violation of

329
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:06.160
a case that was called State versus
McNeil, where they they based their reversal

330
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.640
of Barwick's convictions. And so when
I looked up that case, all I

331
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:15.480
could really find basically was that this
was a case about the jury being excluded

332
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.839
based on skin color. That was
their argument. But looking at you know,

333
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.000
Barwick's mug shot, He's a white
boy, Okay, So all I

334
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.799
can figure based on that jury exclusion
based on skin color is that he had

335
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.799
an all black jury, which I
doubt in nineteen eighty four, I just

336
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.799
doubt that he had an all black
jury, or he was grasping at straws

337
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:42.759
and said that, you know,
he should have had more non white jurors.

338
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.720
Y'all get what I'm saying, Like
I can't. I can't understand what

339
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.480
the racial motive or bias here they're
trying to say the jury may have had

340
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:59.559
against him. But either way,
Barwick would receive a retrial. Not remember

341
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.119
Rebecca didn't Rebecca's fate was sign sealed
and delivered that day when he decided that

342
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:10.160
he wanted to raper and robber and
kill her. Okay, but when he

343
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:14.359
received that retrial, he was going
to be convicted again. And I love

344
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.359
that. In nineteen ninety two,
he got his retrial, and that jury

345
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:22.200
knew an asshole when they saw one, because this group unanimously recommended death for

346
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.720
him. So when her winter chicken
dinner, there, you went from a

347
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.519
nine three to everyone said, no, you need to die. We're done

348
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.440
with you. Now, here's the
kicker for all the bleeding hearts out there

349
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:41.079
that think everyone deserves a second chance. Anyone can change, Everyone deserves the

350
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:42.880
opportunity. They may have messed up, but give them a second you know,

351
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.559
just give them a second chance.
All right, Well, this is

352
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:52.960
the part that really chaps my ass, if I'm being honest. Barwick was

353
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.240
he a first time offender who messed
up in a fit of rage. She

354
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.839
was hot, He wanted her and
her money. No, let this simmer

355
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:07.920
in your head for a second.
Barwick killed Rebecca went less than three months

356
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:14.240
after he had been released from prison. Forget this, Raping a twenty one

357
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:19.319
year old woman at knife point,
he shouldn't have even been out, y'all.

358
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.759
He shouldn't have been free. He
did serve his time. I'm gonna

359
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.920
tell you that he served his whole
sentence. But if anything, that should

360
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:34.359
tell you that even if people serve
their sentences, you cannot change a piece

361
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.279
of shit from being a piece of
shit. It doesn't work like that.

362
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.680
They don't care. Prison time is
getting to hang out with your homies,

363
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:48.519
getting to be around all your like
minded individuals. Okay, And if I'm

364
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.079
making you angry right now because you
have someone you love that was released from

365
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:59.480
prison, I'm sorry. Not actually, because a lot of people in prison

366
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.160
get out and they're proud of what
happened. They're proud of their prison time.

367
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.839
They wear it like a little badge
on their shoulder. It's their war

368
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.240
story of what they've been through,
what they've been through, and what they've

369
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.200
survived. No, Rebecca's dead.
Rebecca was attempted to be raped, her

370
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.039
money was stolen, and she didn't
do anything. This ass hat was in

371
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.400
prison already for raping someone, and
then he gets out. Because we don't

372
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.640
need to have harsher penalties, right, they're people. If we're gonna lock

373
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.839
them up, we need to look
him in the eye and and say,

374
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.519
man, you're still a person.
Well, Rebecca would still be a person

375
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.039
too if you hadn't stabbed her.
I mean, just food for thought.

376
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:44.880
And to make it even better,
during his confession and that he was asked

377
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.960
why did you kill her? Why
did you stab her? That many times

378
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.000
coldly and plainly, Barwick stated that
he stabbed her because, quote, he

379
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:59.039
just didn't want to go back to
prison. So he's selfish. Also,

380
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:07.920
he's a selfish, habitual rapist,
murdering piece of shit. I'm so glad

381
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.319
he got his second chance at life. He has no redeeming value. He

382
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.359
had no redeeming value. And this
is what you get when you parole people

383
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.400
out early who have no business being
let out. I know he wasn't parole,

384
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.519
but I'm just trying to explain to
the people not everyone needs to be

385
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:30.720
parolled out early, especially violent sexual
offenders. There's a pattern. You should

386
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.920
do some research on it. You
should look it up. Prison does not

387
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.039
rehabilitate. And I'm sorry to tell
you that. I know that's supposed to

388
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.839
be like the beautiful pie in the
sky thought of what prison is. Prison

389
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:45.680
does not rehabilitate. People who want
to change can change, but prison itself.

390
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.200
Prison time alone does nothing to someone
who doesn't care. It doesn't do

391
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.480
anything to someone who doesn't care.
And if they don't value life, it

392
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:57.319
doesn't change that. He was a
fricking animal. He acted like an animal.

393
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.039
So I mentioned at the start of
this case that there was a current

394
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.160
event tied to this. Well here
it is. Y'all know a little guy

395
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.640
named Governor Ron de Santis. Anyone
ever heard of him. He's a military

396
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.079
man, and I'm about to go
off topic real quick, but he looked

397
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.519
good in his uniform too, So
I do suggest if you'd like to google

398
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:22.640
that, go look at Rod de
Santis in his military uniform. He wore

399
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.880
it right, But guess what he
did. Governor De santist signed Barwick's death

400
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:32.359
warrant last month and was like,
bye bye boy, bye, catch you

401
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:37.160
on the flip. This is the
third execution that was scheduled in Florida this

402
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.240
year, and it will mark the
hundred and second since the reinstatement of the

403
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:42.640
death penalty in nineteen seventy six.
I don't know if you know this,

404
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:47.759
but there was a moratorium put on
the death penalty back in the gap because

405
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.319
people felt like it was cruel and
unusual punishment. You know, call me

406
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.359
crazy, but I think stabbing a
woman thirty seven times, raping her attemptedly,

407
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:59.039
and stealing her money is cruel unusual
as well. That said Darryl B.

408
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.799
Barwick, who was fifty six years
old as of last Wednesday, was

409
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.240
set to be executed at Florida State
Prison in Stark, Florida, and right

410
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.359
before he was executed. This was
on Wednesday, May third, at around

411
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:18.599
seven twenty nine pm, right before
he was executed by lethal injection. When

412
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.599
the screen was raised in the execution
chamber, Barbock was already strapped to a

413
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.079
table and covered with a sheet except
for his face and his left arm,

414
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.599
where the lines were put in to
push the fluids. He decided to give

415
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.480
his last statement. Now, I
know what you're thinking. I know you're

416
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.599
like, oh, good, right, he's about to be killed. Maybe

417
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.359
he'll come to terms with the fact
that he's a murderous piece of crap and

418
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:47.079
he could you say her name,
apologize to her, her family, the

419
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:52.359
life she lost, all because he's
a pervert and needed money. But this

420
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:59.160
was his final statement on earth quote, it's time to apologize to the victim's

421
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.559
family. To my family, I'd
like to point out he didn't say to

422
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:10.160
my victim that matters to me,
to the victim's family, and to his

423
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.039
family. I can't explain why I
did what I did. Another thing,

424
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.640
I would like to say, the
state of Florida needs to show some kind

425
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.640
of compassion and kindness for each other
when so many kids are in prison.

426
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:29.839
There are fourteen and fifteen year old
serving life sentences. Okay, Now even

427
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.599
sadder was that there was no family
or friends for Rebecca went there at the

428
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.559
execution again that it was in nineteen
eighties that she was killed. But his

429
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:42.200
family didn't even show up either.
There were seventeen official witnesses besides four members

430
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.759
of the press and a staff and
the staff from the Florida Department of Corrections.

431
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.839
A few of them were present.
So I mean, I guess he

432
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.640
cares more about fourteen or fifteen year
olds, but not enough to even say

433
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.119
his own victim's name before he's put
to death. So called me cold,

434
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.480
but like he got to go to
sleep. He got to go to sleep,

435
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:05.000
while I had to fight for her
life before dying of blood loss after

436
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.640
being stabbed thirty seven times. I
hope he really I hope Barwick really felt

437
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:14.240
powerful when he was holding that knife
and attacking a defenseless woman. I hope

438
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.279
he did. But I hope criminals
like Barwick remember that just because good people

439
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:21.039
of the world choose to live in
peace doesn't mean that we've forgotten how to

440
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:25.960
be violent. Don't forget that just
because we live kindly doesn't mean we do

441
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.839
not have the ability to buck up
when it's time. And you know,

442
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.599
I know some people say, oh, the death penalty is revenge, it

443
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.759
doesn't do anything, Well, you
know, revenge. You're right, revenge.

444
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.640
Revenge does sound mean. So that's
why I prefer to call it just

445
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.559
return in the favor
