Precipitated Violence

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.279
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast where I tell stories of real crimes

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.880
with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:25.320
is this even real? I use
my experiences in law enforcement corrections, and

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.079
combined with my years as a criminal
justice educator, dig deep into complex cases

5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:51.119
of evil acts, some so evil
many feel they are unspeakable. Warning.

6
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.719
Unspeakable as 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, kJ you're back

8
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.560
for another episode of Unspeakable. How's
it going? I know how it's going

9
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.840
for me right now. Wonderful because
while I'm podcasting and talking to you,

10
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.079
I also am double tasking, and
I have my phone right here, and

11
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.200
I'm watching the LSU baseball game.
Come on, let's get the sweep.

12
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.719
I know when you hear this,
you'll already know the outcome. But while

13
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.079
I'm recording this, I'm doing both
things. But look, I gotta tell

14
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.719
y'all something freaking Oh. If you
do not feel like you're a winner while

15
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.480
you're listening to this, at least
you're not me. That's all I can

16
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.959
tell you, because let me tell
you what I did earlier. So this

17
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.040
week was a rough week, had
a lot of stuff happening. So I

18
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:42.159
decided that I was going to text
my beloved husband something completely inappropriate. It

19
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.280
was a TikTok that I was going
to send to my husband. I'm married

20
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.920
to him, I can do such
things. The problem with the whole situation

21
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.680
was that I wasn't paying attention when
I hit send, and I sent said

22
00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:00.760
inappropriate text message to one of my
administrators. So, no matter what happens

23
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:07.319
to you this week, at least
you didn't send a creepy, random TikTok

24
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.039
to your boss. Yeah. So
I'm living that dream right now. So

25
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.560
AnyWho, I thought I would share
that with y'all because, look, sometimes

26
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.159
I just mess it up. We're
all in this together. We're trying our

27
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.360
best. Okay, that's all I
can tell you. But look, another

28
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.080
good thing that's happening is that I'm
doing that flash saale on my merch on

search for Unspeakable. Now, let's dive

35
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.240
in to this case that I got
for you today, and I think it's

36
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.919
a pretty interesting one. So it
takes place in States for Ah, Georgia,

37
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.439
which is a small college town and
it was founded in eighteen oh three

38
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.840
by cotton farmers, so it kind
of has that charm, right, that

39
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:01.000
kind of like old school charm about
it, and it really maintains that small

40
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.639
town atmosphere, although throughout the years
it's seen large growth and it's full of

41
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.960
those charming shops and the historic buildings, and of course because it's a college

42
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.159
town, we've got college kids that
are doing their best to grow and become

43
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.800
adults. And one student that was
on campus, she was a freshman.

44
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.199
Her name was Brandy and she went
by Danielle Brandy, Danielle Davis, and

45
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.479
Danielle y'all. She was a tiny
little thing. She had this beautiful face,

46
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.759
straight white teeth, and just really
shiny brown hair. It was cut

47
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.120
into this cute little bob right at
her chin, and she had this obnoxiously

48
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.039
funny laugh that once she did it, it would get your attention. But

49
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.439
once it caught your attention, you
couldn't help but crack up, you know,

50
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.520
start cracking up laughing along with her, because everyone would just bust out

51
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.120
laughing and amusement because it was just
this obnoxious laugh when she got tickled.

52
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.759
And looking at her, y'all,
you can tell you see nothing but spunk

53
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.159
when you look at this girl in
her pictures. She had this tenacity for

54
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.479
life, and she loved to party
and be with her friends, but she

55
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.280
also had a serious side. She
really was taking her schooling seriously. She

56
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.360
had only been in the area about
three months and she had settled in and

57
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.480
she was really starting to grow into
her own. So she was often seen

58
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.959
around town and she'd be in this
little sports car that she had bought,

59
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.199
and she was really feeling herself right. She was only nineteen years old and

60
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.959
she was having her first taste of
freedom, and she was really starting to

61
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.319
get the feeling of what it was
like to be a real adult. So

62
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.079
she had just lost her grandmother,
which resulted in some inherited money and so

63
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.680
doing as a lot of young people
will do. She invested in that cool

64
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:50.680
car, surely a solid investment for
someone who's that age. I remember when

65
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.560
I was nineteen years old, I
actually drove this beautiful purple Mustang, So

66
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.800
I totally get the attraction, right
if you're driving a nice car. Obviously

67
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.519
winning at life. So she was
described as happy and outgoing, and she

68
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.600
did as the average college student does. She would study by day, but

69
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.560
honey party by night. And where
she went to school was a Geechee Technical

70
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.800
College, and she had friends all
over the place, both male and female.

71
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:25.600
She was just really friendly and really
outgoing, and she attracted people that

72
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.639
wanted to hang out with her and
do fun things with her. She was

73
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.600
also dating a boy that she had
been in a relationship for a little while.

74
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.120
His name was Dustin Willett, and
to some she even referred to him

75
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.360
as her fiance. But if I'm
just being one hundred percent honest, I

76
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.800
don't know the absolute truth of that
status. I got conflicting information on this

77
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.360
whenever I was doing my research,
but either way, they were in a

78
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.839
committed relationship, whether they were engaged
or not. And Danielle was also very

79
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.839
close with her mother, who was
ill and was needing a very serious heart

80
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.040
surgery about this time. The surgery
was going to take place over this soon

81
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.399
to start win or break. So
her mother's health problems really played this huge

82
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.839
role in her life because that was
actually the reason that Danielle was studying to

83
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:16.240
become a cardiac ultrasound tech. It's
because her mother's heart condition had affected her

84
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.680
daughter's life enough, you know,
that she really wanted to go and explore

85
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.399
that and help other people that may
suffer the same problem. So the heart

86
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.839
surgery was going to take place roughly
three hours away from where Danielle was in

87
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.680
school, and this was going to
be on December the eighth of two thousand

88
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.480
and nine, so her plans that
day were really jam packed. She did

89
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:41.839
have morning exams and so she was
obligated to complete those and she went to

90
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.800
do her exams, and being the
dedicated daughter that she was, she planned

91
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.240
as soon as she finished those exams
that she was going to rush home to

92
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:54.120
be by her mother's side, hopefully
getting there before the surgery was complete.

93
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.399
So Danielle's grandmother, Miss Dale Brown, she was already at the hospital with

94
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.279
Stephanie, who was Danielle's mother,
and she was anxiously awaiting for this surgery

95
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.319
to just be over with. It
was making her nervous, but she felt

96
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.040
pretty lucky because her granddaughter Danielle would
soon be there and they could comfort each

97
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.279
other keep each other busy while miss
Stephanie was in having her surgery. So,

98
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.879
you know, time is kind of
going on during this day, and

99
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.600
the surgery was about to start pretty
soon and Danielle was taking her exam.

100
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.160
She should have soon been on her
way, and her grandmother knew this,

101
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.480
but was still really anxious for Danielle
to arrive at the hospital. She was

102
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.920
also worried because it was a three
hour drive that Danielle would be making by

103
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.319
herself. So it was no shock
that by one pm that afternoon, when

104
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:48.079
Danielle hadn't arrived for her mother's surgery, you know, people started getting a

105
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:55.079
little anxious, like where is she? Soon Stephanie was being rolled into surgery

106
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:01.480
and Grandma Dale became very concerned,
but not wanting to alarm Stephanie, Daniel's

107
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.480
mom, she kissed her and she
promised her that everything was gonna be okay.

108
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.160
You go get your surgery done and
I will make sure that everything is

109
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.360
okay with Danielle, don't worry about
a thing, and Danielle's mom begged her

110
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:22.000
mother, please go find my girl, and then the doctors rolled her away

111
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.600
into the operating room. Now it
was alarming enough, though, because you

112
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.480
know, Miss Stephanie had called Danielle
five or six times before she rolled back

113
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.240
into the surgery suite, and Danielle
never answered. Even during the surgery,

114
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.279
Danielle's grandmother continued to call her upward
of nine ten times, and Danielle was

115
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.200
not answering, which is just not
right. I mean, the test should

116
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.039
have been over, exam should have
been over way earlier in the day.

117
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.480
So Grandma Dale y'all, bless her
heart. Can you imagine your daughter is

118
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.360
in a very serious heart surgery,
now your granddaughter won't answer the phone.

119
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.480
I mean, my goodness, the
stress of being the matriarch of the family

120
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.720
in that moment must have just been
something, you know, out the box.

121
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.639
So when the time continued to pass
and no answer, no callback,

122
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.639
and then it continued later into the
afternoon, Grandma knew something terrible must have

123
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.159
happened. And you know, Danielle
was never one that would have missed her

124
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.159
mother's procedures, and she certainly wasn't
going to miss this one of this series

125
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.559
of a magnitude. Her grandmother knew
better Danielle. Everyone who knew her knew

126
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.559
better she was going to be there. So Grandma's gut felt like maybe Danielle

127
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.679
had been in a car accident,
since she had been staying up really late

128
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.240
to study for these exams. So
she hated it for, you know,

129
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.320
for her mind to go there and
to imagine that this had happened. But

130
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.639
all she kept thinking was, oh
my god, the lack of sleep.

131
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.639
She must have fell asleep at the
wheel. But regardless of the situation,

132
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.720
Grandma Dale needed answers, and she
decided, I've got to take action now

133
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.360
so we can find Danielle before Stephanie
comes out of the surgery. So the

134
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.559
best course of action she could think
of was to call Danielle's off campus apartment

135
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.559
manager at the campus Crossing's apartments and
say, hey, can you go do

136
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.039
a welfare check My granddaughter, you
know, was supposed to have been here

137
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.679
by now she's not here. And
the apartment manager is like, sure,

138
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.759
happily obliged, I'll go do it, no problem, and I'll call you

139
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.639
back in just a few minutes.
It's going to take me a minute to

140
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.440
get there, but I'll go in
and I will check. Now, before

141
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.399
that return call would be made back
to Grandma Dale, the office manager would

142
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.799
frantically be making one to nine one
one. It turns out that when he

143
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.080
knocked a few times on Danielle's door, she never came and answered it.

144
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.320
So the manager let himself in with
the master key, but what he saw

145
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.879
had him turn around and run out. As he had made his way down

146
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.840
to the master bedroom, he was
calling out her name and honestly hoping to

147
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.919
find nothing. You know, maybe
she's just not here. That would be

148
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:09.600
ideal, but the bedroom would prove
a site that no one would want to

149
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.799
unexpectedly come upon. When he opened
her door, it was immediately clear that

150
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.639
there had been an epic fight,
one that was life or death, and

151
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.840
it was painfully obvious, you know, that Danielle clearly had lost that fight.

152
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.960
He found Danielle lying on the floor
right at you know, the foot

153
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.600
of the bed which was positioned in
front of her desk. But what was

154
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.480
most strange was that her laundry basket, which was full of clean folded laundry,

155
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.799
was sitting on top of her,
and her computer chair was also piled

156
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.000
on top of that, almost as
if whoever had killed her was literally trying

157
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.919
to bury her under all of her
stuff in the apartment. So investigators identified

158
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.480
her by looking at her driver's license, which was still in her purse at

159
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.399
the scene, and this didn't seem
like a robbery, considering nothing was really

160
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.080
missing with exception of her cell phone
and her keys. So when the police

161
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.559
arrived, they too were surprised by
the way that Danielle had been found buried

162
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.000
under oli her belongings in this feeble
attempt at hiding her. So as the

163
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.600
police slowly started to remove the items
that were on top of her, another

164
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.159
picture of events that occurred began to
really take form. Once those larger items

165
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.519
were removed, like the chair and
the basket, police then could really see

166
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:41.080
her body and they realized that her
shirt was actually pulled up and it was

167
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.799
over her face, but her pink
sweatpants were still on, so when her

168
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:54.519
shirt was pulled down, detectives realized
that there were two electrical cords wrapped around

169
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.679
her neck, and a quick look
around the room they were able to identify

170
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.399
that those cords had come from her
laptop, and another one had been pulled

171
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.080
from her boombox. Now, if
strangulation and putting her little body on display

172
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.639
weren't enough for this killer, it
became clear that more had been done and

173
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.559
she had suffered. Danielle had extensive
injuries, which included bruising, scratches,

174
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.399
and what investigators believed to be carpetburn
on her face, her throat, her

175
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.480
ears, and on her scalp.
Now, even though those cords had been

176
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.120
used to strangle her, there were
also manual strangulation marks as well, and

177
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.240
this meant the killer had used his
hands first wrapping them around her throat and

178
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.639
choking the life out of her,
and then he looked up, saw the

179
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.919
cords, ripped them from the electronics
nearby to ensure that she would never recover,

180
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:58.799
wrapping them around her throat and squeezing
until she was clearly dead. But

181
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:05.480
there's another detat tale that is just
completely unnerving to me about this story.

182
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:11.840
As Danielle lay there being photographed by
the crime scene technicians, there's another obvious

183
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.600
injury that is nothing short of stomach
turning. In the photos, there is

184
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.200
a mechanical pencil sticking out of her
mouth, which had been stabbed into the

185
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:30.159
roof the palette of her mouth.
So Statesboro police officer Jody Stafford was the

186
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.399
first one on scene, and if
he was being completely honest, he said

187
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.559
that he didn't actually think that this
was going to be a murder when he

188
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.720
was first dispatched to the call,
because it's pretty common that on college campuses

189
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.320
they get calls about, oh my
god, there's something wrong with this person,

190
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.559
they've been killed, whatever, and
when they get there it turns out

191
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.759
that the students are just passed out
from too much drinking from like the night

192
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.320
before. But some people get so
drunk that people think they're dead because they

193
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.399
can't wake them up. I mean, you're freaking blitzed that case, my

194
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.120
man, right if you can't even
be you know, shaken awake. But

195
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.240
once he saw the condition of Danielle, he knew, oh my god,

196
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.840
I've got this way wrong. And
someone who was completely depraved had ended this

197
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:18.039
beautiful girl's young life. This was
no run of the mill death either.

198
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.360
Someone had to work at this outcome. It was so disturbing that the poor

199
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:30.360
manager was outside of the building and
he was sobbing, yet in a had

200
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.200
this weird stare of complete shock in
his face by what he had witnessed.

201
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.919
So detectives really didn't have much to
work with. They were, you know,

202
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.799
they were able to come up with
a profile of who they believed the

203
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.399
killer could be. This was based
on the attempt to bury her. They

204
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.759
believed that the person had to have
some type of emotional connection. But the

205
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.000
pencil in the mouth was also a
glaring case of overkill as well. So

206
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.200
whoever was able to develop this this
level of anger towards wards her must have

207
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:07.360
been emotionally invested in her in some
way. Now was the time, though,

208
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.720
that another phone call had to be
made, and that was the dreaded

209
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.720
call that had to be made back
to Grandma Dale, letting her know the

210
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:21.320
horrific truth about why her granddaughter Danielle
hadn't shown for her mother's surgery. And

211
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.039
devastated is not even close to a
good enough word to describe her feelings in

212
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:33.480
that moment. On top of the
fact that Danielle's mother, Stephanie, was

213
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.000
in a very fragile state because she
had come out and was recovering from this

214
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.679
surgery. The truth was that if
they told her what was going on with

215
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.039
Danielle, it might literally kill her. She was so fragile from the surgery

216
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.840
she had just been through. Even
the doctors, you know, Grandma Dale

217
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.759
explained to the doctors what was happening. Even the doctors were worried about her

218
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.480
breaking the news to Stephanie, so
they secretly discussed outside of the room with

219
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.240
Grandma Dale that she needed to be
very careful in how she told her daughter,

220
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.880
Stephanie what had happened to granddaughter Danielle. So after some discussion, they

221
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.839
decided it was best to at least
wait twenty four hours before telling her.

222
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.519
And I think about what that must
have been like for Grandma Dale to fake

223
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:26.440
the smiles all the while knowing the
literal heartbreak that would have to be told

224
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.920
to Stephanie in the days to come. When they finally did tell Stephanie,

225
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.759
she too was completely devastated by the
loss of her baby girl. And they

226
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:45.240
were right, y'all. Danielle would
have never missed her mama's surgery, you

227
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.319
know, without some type of good
cause. And this was proof that only

228
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:56.839
death itself would keep Danielle away from
her mama. So a little bit about

229
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.200
overkill real quick, I want to
give you some information about this. The

230
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:07.920
knife is the weapon most commonly used
in overkill cases. The chest is the

231
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:15.359
anatomical site mostly wounded in these type
of overkill cases. And all of the

232
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.559
killers in the study that I looked
at for some information and data on this

233
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:26.839
were men and had a strong relationship
with the victim, meaning they did know

234
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.319
them. That's why we always say, if there's overkill, usually there's a

235
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.480
relationship. Something else that was interesting
to me was that killers in the study

236
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:41.759
that overkilled at this level tended to
have a low IQ. Pretty interesting.

237
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.880
So if we were going to create
us a little you know, a little

238
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.440
profile as unprofessionals, right or no, unprofessionals is not even a word.

239
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.440
I'm made that up. What an
idiot proving proving what I'm talking about right

240
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.920
here as non professionals about this.
If we were going to make our own

241
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.799
little profile about things, we would
think there would have been knife. We

242
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.640
see that there's overkill, the chest
is most likely the site to hit,

243
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.640
and this would be a low IQ
person that has a relationship with Danielle.

244
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.000
But a knife wasn't used. It
was a manual strangulation. It was a

245
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:18.240
pencil in the mouth and the chest. She was beaten about but certainly wasn't

246
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.359
stabbed there, so it kind of
is just going against the norm. Also

247
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.640
of interest to me was many of
the authors of the studies that I was

248
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:33.960
reviewing linked overkill to a sexual murder
scenario where the murders were going to be

249
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.000
deemed impulsive, meaning not planned,
and in large part were done with their

250
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.640
bare hands, and that, my
friends, does fit the bill here.

251
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.480
I felt that it looked frenzied in
the crime scene. I felt that this

252
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.960
looked impulsive, and we already know
that manual strangulation was part of what happened

253
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.440
to her. So that information I
just gave you kind of explains the how

254
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.759
portion of people who do this to
others, but that lee the why,

255
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.160
right, why did this happen?
And we also need to know the who,

256
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:10.720
so overall the why is explained,
and that the killers tend to display

257
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:17.319
an overcontrolled personality. By over controlled, I don't mean over controlling, I

258
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.920
mean over controlled as in their own
behaviors. This means that these types of

259
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:27.160
killers tend to suppress their rage,
and by suppressing their rage, that in

260
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:36.240
turn could generate what's called abandonment precipitated
violence. That means, while they feel

261
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:41.519
that someone is abandoning what they want
to have happen with whatever this interaction is,

262
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:48.200
Boom, you get this violence that
comes in because it just enrages them

263
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.880
that it's not going the way that
they want and they feel abandoned. Keep

264
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.240
that in mind. So while all
of this information gives us some data points

265
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.079
to work with, it doesn't solve
the crime. So Danielle's mom started racking

266
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.960
her brain to try and help detective
figure out who could have wanted her daughter

267
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.799
dead, and all she could think
was that nobody, nobody would want to

268
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.720
hurt Danielle. She was too loved
by all of her friends. She didn't

269
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.480
even have an enemy that her mother
knew of. And come on, y'all,

270
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.480
if you're a mama, listen to
this. If your daughter has like

271
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.400
this mortal enemy, you know about
it, you know about it, you

272
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.640
can figure it out. Mamas know, Mamas know who's being mean to their

273
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.079
babies, and she didn't have one
name that came to mind. Another issue

274
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.880
was that a majority of students were
about to start leaving campus because remember Christmas

275
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:40.000
break was coming up, which meant
that anyone who may know something was going

276
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:45.240
to be gone if they weren't spoken
to asap, but as things often go,

277
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.200
one small thing can turn the tides
pretty quickly in an investigation. So

278
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:59.519
it turned out that Danielle's apartment building
had this impromptu vigil that was held in

279
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.279
her memory after the news broke that
she had been murdered. And as some

280
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.160
students were arriving for the vigil,
and you could see people crying, you

281
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.160
could see people praying and you know, just taking this all in. Police

282
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:17.480
who were there were approached by two
guys in the crowd who claimed that they

283
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:22.160
knew Danielle and they knew what she
was doing in her last hours of live,

284
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.880
so this was kind of pretty big, right. Their names were Jared

285
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.160
Cook and Kurt Hyde, and they
even openly admitted that they had both been

286
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.880
with her the night she died.
So they said, look, we were

287
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.599
at her apartment. It was around
nine o'clock that night and it was us

288
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.480
too, our other friend Darryl Priestley, and we all left her apartment around

289
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.680
ten thirty. And they both said, look, she was happy, she

290
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.400
was you know, doing her things. She was acting completely normal. And

291
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.640
when they were questioning, okay,
well what did y'all do when y'all were

292
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.400
there. They were like, I
mean, we just chilled, we snapped,

293
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.720
we were watching Monday night football.
And the reason that they left at

294
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.640
ten thirty was because she told them, look, y'all gotta go. I

295
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.880
have to study before I go to
bed because I've got exams in the morning,

296
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.680
and then I got to hit the
road to go see my mom.

297
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.200
So after this kind of information came
about, detectives wanted to know more information

298
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.799
about their whereabouts once they left the
apartment, so Jared and Kurt said that

299
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.240
they went back to their place,
which was just about a block down the

300
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.960
road, and then Daryl went to
the library because he had to study too

301
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:32.839
because he had exams. So detectives
set out to confirm that what the guys

302
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.599
were telling them were true, and
they also wanted to go check on Daryl

303
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.559
Priestley to make sure that he actually
was at the library as was claimed there.

304
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.960
So, while they were hammering out
the details of the story, the

305
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:52.680
coroner's report came back and much to
everyone's surprise, Danielle had not been raped.

306
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.200
I'm going to be honest with you, I was surprised too, just

307
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.000
and I know this whole story as
you're listening to it, and I still

308
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.599
was surprised that she had not been
raped, and I'm just no, lie,

309
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.440
I would have totally expected that,
But I'm thankful that she wasn't,

310
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:08.839
you know, I don't want that
to be something that she had to suffer

311
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.519
on top of the atrocities that were
inflicted upon her. But in a bizarre

312
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.720
finding, on top of the fact
she had not been raped, the pencil

313
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.720
that was jammed into her mouth,
it was stabbed into her mouth post mortem,

314
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:30.920
which means after death. Why in
the hell would someone stab a pencil

315
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:36.839
in somebody's mouth the roof of their
mouth after death. So that fact left

316
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:41.559
me wondering what purpose did it even
serve? So, based on the previously

317
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:48.720
mentioned findings in those studies I spoke
about, it sounds just like someone was

318
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.640
in a full on rage doing whatever
it took to murder her. And it

319
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.359
just really struck me, and I
think anyone who's listening that this was just

320
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:04.160
plain old brutality and unadulterate rage to
stab someone after they're dead in the roof

321
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:10.240
of their mouth with a pencil and
leave it sticking out for investigators to find.

322
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.880
The report also noted that there was
bruising on her face as well as

323
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.599
dried blood all over her face.
Her ear was damaged to and she had

324
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.359
been struck multiple times about the face
and the head. And this was a

325
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:29.200
beating that no one should ever endure. I mean, think about how brutal

326
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.200
this attack is to beat someone to
death. And then you're kind of wondering

327
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.759
why if you ripped, you know, you pull her shirt up, your

328
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.400
her breasts exposed, You've killed her
in some type of rage. What was

329
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.839
the purpose? I don't know what
other purpose there would be other than just

330
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:51.200
anger. Well, who is that
angry that they would do that to someone.

331
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.000
So seven days after Danielle's body was
found, her funeral was held and

332
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.920
she was laid to rest in her
hometown. But this is sad, y'all.

333
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:07.319
Her little body was so traumatized that
her mother wanted a closed casket.

334
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.640
Imagine having to make that decision that
this is your baby girl, and the

335
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:19.000
fear of her own friends and her
family seeing her not looking like her normal,

336
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:26.759
beautiful self. That fear was so
real in her mother that she wanted

337
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.000
to close the casket. And that
really speaks volumes about her mother to me.

338
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.599
To consider the feelings of the horror
others may feel in seeing their precious

339
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:40.359
friend in such a state of abuse, She would take their feelings into consideration.

340
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.119
This was a loved girl for sure, and now that she was gone

341
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.640
and she was going to be laid
to rest, there was standing room only

342
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:56.160
at the church where the services were
held. After that all came to pass.

343
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.400
Someone needed to be held accountable for
doing this to her. So while

344
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.880
Mama and the friends were grieving,
law enforcement were. They decided they were

345
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.799
going to double down and they were
going to find this killer. So remembering

346
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.079
those chords that were wrapped around her
neck, right, I told you there

347
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:18.119
were two chords wrapped around her neck, Well, those were telling a pretty

348
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:25.559
specific forensic story long after the killer
was gone, and that the person who

349
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.559
had done this had transferred their skin
cells onto those cords. So CODIS,

350
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.200
which is that DNA database. People
always go, we why didn't they just

351
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.559
run the DNA run the DNA.
Well you have to understand that CODIS is

352
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:44.079
not just like this free for all
DNA database. They're only going to have

353
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:51.039
known offender DNA in the database,
or you know, someone maybe who works

354
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.119
for the state or works in law
enforcement or something like that you know,

355
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.559
your DNA sample is given, but
it doesn't just have DNA for everybody.

356
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:03.039
We don't take DNA at birth and
put it all in CODIS. So you

357
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.880
know, if this person who killed
her has no priors, then it's not

358
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.240
just going to be as simple as
running that profile through that database. Having

359
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:17.799
a DNA profile is literally useless without
someone to match it to or to cross

360
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:22.480
reference it to. So until that
could be processed, more suspects were going

361
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.079
to need to be crossed off the
list. So someone that Danielle had been

362
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:33.160
seeing was identified as Dustin Allman,
and he lived about an hour away from

363
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.759
Danielle, So something that people who
knew the couple would attest to was that

364
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:44.319
when they hung out, it was
often done at his home, but according

365
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:48.359
to his accounts of things, he
hadn't seen her face to face in a

366
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.839
few weeks. Sure, you know, he said, Look, we spoke

367
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.920
on the phone, but again we
hadn't seen each other in person for a

368
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:00.920
while. And considering the extreme violence
and the clear passion that had been displayed

369
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.880
in this killing, it was pretty
obvious that whoever did this had to know

370
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:11.680
her. So the randomness of a
stranger showing up at her apartment, inflicting

371
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.960
extreme violence upon her, not raping
her, not stealing anything, and then

372
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:22.359
staying long enough to bury her.
Doesn't scream random to me. Didn't scream

373
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.079
random to the police either, So
police decided to gather more background information on

374
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.519
Dustin. How did the two of
them meet, what was their relationship like?

375
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.880
Well, it turns out that Danielle
and Dustin had met while she was

376
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.200
waitressing part time on the weekends in
Savannah, where Dustin lived, and they

377
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.720
seemed to really connect almost immediately.
And since money, y'all know, that's

378
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:48.200
something that college co ed's are really
short on usually unless you're lucky, her

379
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.720
little waitressing job was something that she
depended on for her spending cash. And

380
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.519
I don't know that just that got
me. Do you remember the days of

381
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.559
being short on cash and school being
overwhelming and you're just trying to make ends

382
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.920
of meat and you're young, And
I'm kind of smiling thinking back on it.

383
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.119
Back then it wasn't funny, But
I do I identify with what this

384
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.400
little Danielle was dealing with. I
was running around LSU, I was studying

385
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.599
at Barnes and Noble. I was
just working to make ends meet and I

386
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.519
just I feel her on what she
was doing to make it happen. Because

387
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.440
of her school demands, Danielle wasn't
near Dustin as much as she would have

388
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.440
liked, and so their relationship,
even though she was doing her best,

389
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:32.680
it seemed like it was kind of
being relegated to just the weekends. Her

390
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.920
mom, Stephanie that I've mentioned,
she really liked him, and she,

391
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.839
according to her own statements on him, said she could literally see how he

392
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:47.400
just glowed whenever he looked at her, the admiration that he had for her.

393
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:52.279
It was obvious to anyone who watched
him watch her and look at her.

394
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.720
It was in his face, it
was in the way that he behaved.

395
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.240
And you know when someone is smitten, don't you, I mean I

396
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:03.640
do. You can tell this murder
though, remember it was personal. So

397
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:10.160
was he capable of a massive switch
and being so angry that he was mad

398
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.720
enough to kill her over it.
So detectives wanted to find this out and

399
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.480
would go question Dustin, and they
were struck by the fact that he didn't

400
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:26.759
really seem overly remorseful or reminiscent or
sad about what had occurred. I don't

401
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.759
know that remorseful was probably the right
word there that would imply that he had

402
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.480
done something, but he just didn't
seem overly emotional about it. There was

403
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:40.359
a lack of tears according to police
to start, and he just wasn't very

404
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:45.359
emotional. And I'll be the first
to say people do react differently when they're

405
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:51.920
in stressful situations. So this was
just an observation, just just noting something,

406
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.240
you know, just putting it in
the notes of something to think about,

407
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:59.319
considering, you know, the murder
had occurred. And his alibi included

408
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.359
he says, look, I was
working in Savannah at the time that this

409
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:06.599
all went down. That's like an
hour away. So while that's certainly a

410
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:12.160
great story, it would need to
be verified. And it was beyond plausible

411
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.039
for someone to be working, drive
an hour, kill somebody and then come

412
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.960
back to their home without this huge
notice. I mean it's an hour.

413
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:21.400
I could drive an hour, and
hell, when I drive an hour,

414
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:24.960
usually speeding, so uh, you
could get there kind of quick. But

415
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.720
he adds more detail that grabs the
attention of the investigators, and this included

416
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.599
that he believed he was on the
phone with her when the real killer came

417
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.160
to her door. That's huge.
Wait, what, you're on the phone

418
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:44.200
with her? Well, you know, he needed to kind of explain a

419
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.079
little bit more about this, because
that's kind of a huge claim considering that

420
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:50.720
your girlfriend slash fiance had just been
murdered. And he says, look,

421
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:55.400
you know I was on the phone
with her. She called me. You

422
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.519
know, it was around ten thirty
five that Monday night and she called me,

423
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:06.880
so comparing notes, this would have
been just minutes after that Jared and

424
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.039
Daryl and the other friend claimed that
they had left her apartment, so it

425
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:15.920
kind of squeezed it into a pretty
pretty small timeframe, so it's pretty interesting.

426
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.240
But then he added that he spoke
on the phone with her for another

427
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.440
twenty minutes, so it was a
long conversation. And then he says,

428
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.000
while we were on the phone,
about twenty minutes went by, there was

429
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.920
a knock at the door. So
Danielle was really alarmed considering how late it

430
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.599
was and she wasn't expecting any visitors, so she was kind of scared and

431
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:38.519
told him, look, will you
stay on the phone with me while I

432
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.759
answered the door, And he said, of course I will, and if

433
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:44.480
there's a problem, someone would know
and he could die on nine one one.

434
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.160
But when she opened the door,
they were both relieved when she said,

435
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.759
Oh, it's just my friend Molly, don't worry about it, And

436
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.960
Danielle told Dustin, look, let
me talk to Molly for a second and

437
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.880
then I'm gonna call you right back. They said their goodbyes, and that

438
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.880
would be the last time that they
ever spoke again in this life. Dustin

439
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.000
then claimed, I tried to call
her back a couple of times before I

440
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:13.719
went to bed, but she just
wouldn't answer the phone. So doing what

441
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.239
I think a lot of people do
when they're faced with an odd circumstance,

442
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:21.800
and it's just not jiving. He
tried to justify why she wasn't answering the

443
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.360
phone in his own head, Oh, she must be studying for that final,

444
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:28.360
or she fell asleep or something.
So detectives are like, all right,

445
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.039
well, game on. This is
going to be super easy to verify,

446
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.679
at least the phone records, you
know. So they head off to

447
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.519
check their records, but they also
wanted to go speak to Mollie since Dustin

448
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:44.480
put her at that place. So
when they finally get in touch with her,

449
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.119
they explained that this is a very
important interview and that they need to

450
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.679
speak with her immediately and they need
her to be very specific in her answers.

451
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:59.920
So who was this Mollie? She
was a freshman at a different colle

452
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.039
that other than the one that Danielle
was going to, but it was really

453
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.480
close by, so it was definitely
like in a reasonable proximity from where the

454
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:12.440
murder had occurred for her to be
in actual suspect. So police are like,

455
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.480
well, maybe she's a jealous friend
of me or something along those lines.

456
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:16.280
You know, where you're pretending to
be friends with somebody but really you

457
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:20.079
hate them. I don't know,
it's weird. I think it's weird when

458
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.280
people do that. I ain't pretended
to be friends with anybody. I will

459
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:23.719
be nice, I will be professional, and I will be cordial. Bank

460
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:25.199
will be a day in hell.
I go out to eat with you.

461
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.320
If I don't like you, my
life is short. I want to be

462
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.840
happy, and you ain't ruining a
really good margarita for me. Get out

463
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:37.119
my face. But when they get
in touch with her, she's really happy

464
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.599
to speak with them. She has
no problem, and she comes off as

465
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:45.559
utterly confused by the set of questions
when they start talking to her, and

466
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.199
she finally straight up says, I
never went to her apartment. What are

467
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.480
you talking about? Completely and totally
says, wasn't me. I wasn't there.

468
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:58.199
I wasn't at her apartment. I
certainly didn't knock on her door.

469
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.639
And I absolutely, without question,
did not kill my friend. And she

470
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:06.599
was very emphatic about the fact she
wasn't there. Matter of fact, she

471
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.440
says, Look, I was at
home studying for my own finals and I

472
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:20.000
hadn't even seen her in weeks.
Okay, now it's apparent to anyone who's

473
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:25.519
paying attention someone's lying. Is it
fiance lying, is it best friend or

474
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:29.079
good friend here lying, or is
it the guys that said they were at

475
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:30.480
the apartment line. I mean,
we have like five people now to try

476
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.119
to figure out who's telling the truth, because we're getting different stories from everybody.

477
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:40.199
So there are two very different accounts
between what fiance says and friend says

478
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:45.639
about what happened the night that she
was murdered. So they're like, who

479
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:50.480
has something to cover up? And
that question would quickly be answered when Molly

480
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.280
just hands them her phone and says, look, you can go through my

481
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.559
phone. Go for it right now, check it out, look, and

482
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.039
sure enough, she hadn't called daniel
Ylle, she hadn't spoken to her,

483
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.800
she hadn't had any conversation with her, and then just sizing her up.

484
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.760
The police were looking at her and
they're like, she's really petite herself.

485
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:15.440
So to think that she would be
able to brutally attack and overpower Danielle just

486
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.480
seemed really highly unlikely. They were
both tee tiny little girls, itty bitty,

487
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:25.440
and then the phone records would eventually
confirm everything that Molly was claiming that

488
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:30.159
this wasn't her at the door of
Danielle's apartment the night that she was killed.

489
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.440
This means one of two things.
Now Dustin is lying, or the

490
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.800
friends who said that they were with
her watching Monday night football are lying,

491
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:44.960
or honestly, it could mean that
Danielle was lying at some point and Danielle

492
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:47.760
wasn't alive to speak. So police
were gonna have to keep working on this

493
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:52.719
one right to figure it out.
But that wouldn't take long because, much

494
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.920
the police's surprise, the other guy
that they were wanting to talk to.

495
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.239
His name was Darryl Priestley. That
third friend that was there, he walks

496
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.599
into the police station. He was
that third guy that was there that night,

497
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.719
and the police had yet to get
to question him, so he just

498
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.719
took it upon himself to show up, come forward, and look all answer

499
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.719
you questions that you have, which
was awesome. So Daryl was a very

500
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:21.280
unassuming and gentle giant when he spoke. The police even said, very very

501
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.559
quiet, gentle speaker. For as
large as he was, I want you

502
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:30.519
to know he stood six foot two
and over two hundred pounds. He really

503
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.599
was just that gentle giant. Like
I just said. His account of things

504
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.719
was that while they were hanging out
at the apartment the night of the murder,

505
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.679
Dustin the boyfriend, was acting like
a jealous boyfriend and he fricking wouldn't

506
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.320
chill out. The whole time that
they were trying to hang out, Dustin

507
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.519
kept calling back to back to back, over and over and over. So

508
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:53.920
Danielle's phone had kept ringing, and
he said, this was between ten and

509
00:38:53.960 --> 00:39:00.480
ten thirty. This made sense,
right though, like when police listening there,

510
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.840
like, well, that makes total
sense, because Dustin himself said,

511
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.280
oh, I kept calling her and
she wouldn't answer. Hmm. Now,

512
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:14.400
Daryl also said something else, that
was intriguing. He said that Danielle knew

513
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:20.280
Dustin was calling, but she wasn't
answering because she knew that he would be

514
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:27.039
mad because she had so many guys
over in her apartment. Now I can

515
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:30.159
believe that too, right young in
a relationship, You've got these guys at

516
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.199
your apartment, Why are they over
there? I'm not there? The whole

517
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:40.119
protective thing. So this though,
was in direct conflict of what Dustin had

518
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.440
said before. So, wanting to
understand more about that night, investigators asked

519
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.800
Darryl, look, can you give
us a really specific timeline of the evening

520
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.440
because they wanted to kind of figure
out where do these stories where do they

521
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:58.639
specifically stop aligning. So, according
to the other two friends that were there,

522
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:01.840
Jared and Kurt, they left the
apartment at ten thirty and Daryl went

523
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:07.320
to study at the library for the
late night cram session. When investigators wanted

524
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.400
to know if Daryl had anyone studying
with him, or was there anyone that

525
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:15.159
could vouch for you whenever you were
at the library, Daryl started to waiver

526
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:22.480
a little bit in his account.
See, everyone including the investigators, knew

527
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.400
that the library had a state of
the art camera, which would vouch for

528
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.719
him if he didn't have a person
to do so. And that's when he

529
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:36.679
started to backtrack and admitted, Okay, look, I never did go to

530
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.880
the library to study. Hmm.
He said he got to the library but

531
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.639
realized that he had forgotten his USB
drive, which he needed to be able

532
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:49.480
to study. All of his materials
were on it. Okay, that's great

533
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:52.880
and all, but why would you
lie about that, especially considering someone was

534
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:58.360
dead? Why would you lie about
such a small thing? You would say,

535
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.000
Okay, I went to study.
Like, do you think your friend

536
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.760
care that you didn't go study?
Nobody gives a shit whether you studied or

537
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.880
not. Do that's on you.
Why would you lie about something just so

538
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:13.400
insignificant, especially when it's a friggin
murder investigation. It's not a lost dog,

539
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.400
you know. And I'm no Einstein, but I think I would have

540
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:20.320
understood the seriousness of this, and
I wouldn't want to get my own ass

541
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.760
and a crack over a stupid lie
about I forgot my USB so I didn't

542
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:29.719
actually study. So Darryl Is further
questioned, and he was unable to answer

543
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:37.000
very simple questions where were you then? What were you doing. You know,

544
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.480
what did you do the day before
the murder? His story was very

545
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:44.519
inconsistent and it was raising eyebrows,
to say the least. And this is

546
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.199
in the biz what we would call
a clue, right, So investigators asked

547
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.119
him if he would be willing to
submit his DNA to rule him out as

548
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:54.679
a suspect, and surprisingly, he
willingly does, Oh, absolutely, here,

549
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:58.920
take my DNA. I didn't kill
her. So this dude's a freaking

550
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:04.280
strange bird. Right. So just
as police feel like they're on a hot

551
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.400
trail, oh we got you,
bro, right with this guy's line about

552
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:13.519
stuff that doesn't matter. Another man
by the name of Mitch Carson had contacted

553
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:17.760
crime stoppers claiming to have information about
Danielle's death, and his claim was that

554
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.639
Danielle had called him personally and she
was telling him, look, I'm having

555
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:28.320
trouble with a guy, but she
never named him by name. So investigators

556
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:31.440
wondered if maybe this unknown male could
have followed her home and then took her

557
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:36.440
by surprise at the apartment and killing
her, because that too made sense now

558
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:40.880
that they knew that there was someone
that was harassing her, so maybe she

559
00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:45.519
was actually complaining. Also, another
strategy here. Maybe she was actually complaining

560
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:50.719
about her fiance, but she never
named him when she was complaining to Mitch

561
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:53.239
about him. Right, Like,
all these different scenarios start playing out of

562
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.639
what could this possibly be? So
police, doing their due diligence, jump

563
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.679
in the car, and they rushed
to go meet with Mitch, which when

564
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:05.679
they get there, they are immediately
weirded out by Mitch, not because he's

565
00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:08.679
like creepy or anything, but it's
the way that he keeps referring to Danielle

566
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.159
because he's always using her full name. He keeps calling her Brandy Danielle Davis.

567
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:19.119
And I don't call people by their
first and middle name, you know,

568
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:21.960
unless they have like a like.
I have a friend James Adam,

569
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.039
like his first name is two names. Matter of fact, hang on,

570
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:27.440
I'm about to do a side story
real quick, and if you don't like

571
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:29.440
it, I don't care. If
it's kind of funny. James Adam,

572
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:31.440
the very guy I'm talking about,
shout out. His son is graduating in

573
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:37.840
high school and they sent me a
and I'm an idiot, And if y'all

574
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.639
listen to the show long enough,
you'll know that they sent me a graduation

575
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:45.440
invite, I mean a party invite
after graduation, and it was it was

576
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.719
on this electronic site where you have
to put your name in. Okay,

577
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.719
well, I thought in my genius
that it was only going to them,

578
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:57.159
like I thought it was just like
a you know, direct thing for them.

579
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:01.119
So I put my name as Kelly
motherfucking Jennings on it. Yeah,

580
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:07.280
so about that. Yeah, I'm
on documents as Kelly motherfucking Jennings. So

581
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:12.280
it's at the church too, by
the way, So so sorry, apologies

582
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.800
in advanced for that one. Oh
my god, y'all. But anyway,

583
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.440
he kept I really am sorry.
I know his parents are listening, y'all.

584
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:22.280
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You
cannot answer me on speakerphone, and

585
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.239
you surely don't need to invite me
anywhere or I have to document my name.

586
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.679
I will jack it up, all
right. But he kept saying back

587
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:31.760
to the story, Brandy Danielle Davis, So why was he doing that?

588
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.639
And he was also giving these details
that were nowhere near like not even in

589
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:43.440
the realm of the possibility of close
to the situation that had occurred. So

590
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.280
the police are kicking back, going
what is going on? Like they are

591
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:51.119
completely confused. It doesn't even align
like like the who what when? We're

592
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:53.119
why? How Like none of it's
aligning with what happens. So is this

593
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:59.239
guy nuts or what? Well?
The police are like hmm, we're gonna

594
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.079
show you a pick cure of Danielle
real quick, and he's like, okay,

595
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:05.119
cool. So they flipped the picture
around and he looks at it and

596
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:10.000
he goes, that's not Danielle and
the police are like, yes, it

597
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:14.000
is, and he's like, no, it's not. And they're like,

598
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:16.760
we assure you that it is.
We are the police. And he's like,

599
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.519
I assure you that is not her, and they're in this like stand

600
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.440
off. Okay. So funny story. When I was researching this case,

601
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:30.840
the exact same thing happened to me. I kept finding information that in no

602
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:37.719
way matched whenever it was like all
over the place. Turns out there were

603
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.840
two Brandy Danielle Davis's, two of
them, two Brandy Davis's that were murdered,

604
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:45.840
two of them. What are the
chances of that? I was like

605
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:50.480
wtf whenever I figured that out,
No, wonder, this isn't making sense.

606
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:55.800
So I get the feeling that this
other Brandy Danielle was kind of a

607
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:59.519
sketchy character. And I don't mean
that in an ugly way. I mean

608
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.559
that maybe I shouldn't say sketchy.
I kind of got the feeling she was

609
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.559
a little bit flaky and like she
didn't check in with her friends regularly.

610
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.400
Maybe she was one of those kind
of made some poor life decisions along the

611
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:14.079
way. Turns out this was a
completely honest mistake. It was two women

612
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:19.519
with the same name, and he
had just assumed when he saw the story

613
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:22.960
that it was his friend because of
kind of how her life was going.

614
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:28.280
So it was a total waste of
time when they went down the avenue of

615
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.599
checking that tip. But it was
absolutely an honest mistake. Moving forward,

616
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.559
detectives make a surprise visit to Dustin
and they're hoping that if we come speak

617
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.800
to him face to face, you
know, maybe we can get some more

618
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.599
information rather than by the phone.
But when they get there, guess what

619
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:51.559
Dustin did. He had lawyered up
already. WHOA If that does not scream

620
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.400
he must be feeling guilty about something. I don't know what does. So

621
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:59.159
we have old boy Darryl Lyne about
the library study session for what reason.

622
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:01.079
Now we've got Dustin, who has
nothing to do with that, he claims

623
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.079
lawyering up. So through the attorney, Dustin gives a written statement of his

624
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:10.800
whereabouts of the night of the murder, and then he tells police in his

625
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.880
written statement, y'all can just go
check my phone records. But other than

626
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.039
that, I really don't have anything
else I want to add to this investigation.

627
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:25.320
So police did just that, and
guess what, every single thing that

628
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:31.360
Dustin was claiming proved to be true
and accurate, everything from the time and

629
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:36.159
length of the phone calls with her
and including his efforts to call her back.

630
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:39.159
He even had text messages that he
hadn't mentioned before, trying to check

631
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:43.440
on her, saying hey, is
everything okay? Why aren't you calling me

632
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.840
back? You said that you would
call me back, And after everything was

633
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:52.079
reviewed and checked, it became crystal
clear that Dustin was in Savannah and could

634
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.280
not have been the one that murdered
her. So I just would like to

635
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.679
say this on behalf of Dustin,
which I don't have any room to speak

636
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:00.519
on behalf of him, but I
would just like to say on behalf of

637
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:06.159
people like Dustin. I think he
got the lawyer because he knew that someone

638
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.199
close to a wife or a girlfriend, her husband tends to be looked at

639
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:12.840
first, and I think it stressed
him out. I think it was just

640
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.800
him trying to be, you know, self protective, and you have that

641
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:22.000
right. I misjudged and so did
the police on that aspect. So who

642
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:25.760
was at Danielle's apartment? Someone obviously
showed about the door while he was on

643
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:31.000
the phone with her. Police were
starting to think that maybe Danielle herself hadn't

644
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:36.719
been the one that was being exactly
truthful. They were like, I wonder

645
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.840
if she was lying to Dustin about
who was at the door that night.

646
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:46.119
So, continuing through her phone records, a rather surprising outgoing call came to

647
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:51.679
light, meaning Danielle made a phone
call out after she hung up with Dustin.

648
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:55.480
Danielle had not only called this number
once, but she called it twice.

649
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:02.039
That number turned out to be no
other than Daryl Priestley. Hmm,

650
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:05.920
okay, whoa, this is the
guy that says he was at the library,

651
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.039
but he wasn't at the library.
So this is now starting to paint

652
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.840
kind of a different picture. So
investigators, and first of all, shout

653
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.840
out to investigator, investigators, are
you seeing how much run around there is

654
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:21.960
in investigations like this, so many
avenues and trying to figure things out.

655
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.159
I have the luxury as a podcaster
to get to just kind of go forward

656
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:28.519
with it and explain it to you. But man, a lot of work

657
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.760
goes into these investigations, a lot
that the public would never even know about.

658
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:35.719
Right. But they immediately go to
get Daryl and they escort him to

659
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:37.519
the police station because they're like,
look, bro, we got some more

660
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:42.119
questions that we need you to answer. So, you know, first of

661
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.159
all, while he's on the hot
seat, they surprised him with the knowledge

662
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:49.519
that they knew she had called him
shortly before she was killed. So why

663
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.000
was she calling you? Dude?
You know, why didn't you mention that?

664
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.400
Why didn't you mention that she called
you not once but twice? Seems

665
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:58.239
kind of a big thing that you
would have said. And he replied,

666
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.079
rather nervously but confident. Yeah,
she called me because I had forgotten my

667
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:08.320
cell phone. Okay, so she
called the very phone that you supposedly left

668
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:12.320
in the apartment to tell you that
you left it at the apartment. Yeah,

669
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:15.599
that makes perfect sense. Why would
she call the phone if she's holding

670
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:22.400
it, so the first time it
rang in her hand, she called again,

671
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.519
like, that's stupid. What do
you mean, she called, and

672
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:28.199
so he cleared it up. No, no, no, no, no,

673
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.440
no no. I went back to
her apartment to get my phone because

674
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:36.679
I forgot it and we couldn't find
it, so she called it twice.

675
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.760
When we finally found it, it
was stuff down between or had fallen down

676
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:45.239
between the couch cushions. Okay,
to che right, that's plausible. What's

677
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.599
not, though, is the fact
that you keep lying over and over and

678
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:53.639
over again about where you were that
night. There's no reason to lie.

679
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:59.079
Just tell the damn truth, dude, tell us the timeline. We're giving

680
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.679
you the opportunity to explain yourself away. Okay, you didn't go study cool,

681
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:06.000
that was a lie. Okay.
Is it that you're not wanting to

682
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.960
place yourself at an apartment after everybody
left and a murder occurred? Is that

683
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:14.000
why you're lying? What's going on
here? But the investigators then realize,

684
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:21.000
wait, he is telling the truth. This guy's absolutely telling the truth,

685
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:25.440
but not in the way you would
think. He did forget his cell phone,

686
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:32.239
but they think it was on purpose. This was his way to get

687
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:38.280
back into the apartment. So he's
given small bits of truth over time to

688
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:43.440
build that plausible deniability. I mentioned
all the time in my podcast, right,

689
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:47.039
can't you see this kind of like
taking shape. He's not lying.

690
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:51.719
He did forget his cell phone,
but he forgot it on purpose, and

691
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:55.679
it conveniently, I bet, was
stuffed between the couch cushions. So investigators

692
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.480
asked him more about the time he
was there getting his phone, and that's

693
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:05.320
when he starts to elaborate on the
fact that they did hang out even though

694
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:08.159
he never mentioned it before, and
they started horse playing while he was there,

695
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:14.800
and they were just joking around,
but things did actually take a scary

696
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:20.920
turn. The scare, though,
was a complete and total accident. So

697
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:24.159
here we go. I hope that
you have your bullshit meter all prepared if

698
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:27.159
you're in your car right now.
I'll go ahead and make sure your bullshit

699
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.320
meters turned all the way up,
because I want you to properly gauge this

700
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:36.119
one. Darryl claims that while they
were playing around in the apartment, Daniel

701
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:42.559
tripped and she fell when horrifically,
a pencil got lodged in her throat,

702
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:49.000
and at this point she began gasping
for air and then died right there in

703
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:53.960
front of his eyes. Okay,
so that's your story now, And that's

704
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:58.679
when you did what we all would
do in that instance, and you pulled

705
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.639
her into her room, put her
chair and laundry on top of her,

706
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:06.320
and then left. You never pulled
out the pencil, which, by the

707
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:09.119
way, would have had to have
been like in this standing upright position when

708
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:14.079
she fell with her her mouth would
have had it been open, she would

709
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:17.079
have had to fall like kind of
forward and straight down on this upright pencil,

710
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:23.519
randomly chilling on her carpet in the
upright position, And you didn't call

711
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:29.599
nine one one, like are you
kidding me? Are you kidding me?

712
00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:32.079
That's your story right now. She
fell mouth open while horse playing on a

713
00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:37.239
pencil that went into the roof of
her mouth and killed her, and you

714
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:38.800
never called nine one one, and
you piled a bunch of shit on top

715
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:43.159
of her. That's your story,
he says, Yes, I honestly,

716
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:45.920
I panicked. You know, I
staged the crime scene because I panicked.

717
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:51.199
And that, my friends, is
the crafted story that shows how a man

718
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.559
who tried to shoot his shot at
a young girl manipulates his way into her

719
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:59.559
apartment through planting his phone, tries
to make a move on her, gets

720
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:02.519
denied, and then flies into a
full on rage where he takes his six

721
00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:07.480
foot two, two hundred pounds self
and attacks a five foot one ninety pound

722
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:12.119
girl, beating the shit out of
her because he's attracted to her and she

723
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.599
doesn't want him. He then beats
her to death, drags her into her

724
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:20.039
room, looks at her private parts, lifting her shirt, and then,

725
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:24.360
post mortem, after she is already
dead, grabs a pencil from her desk

726
00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:31.079
and violently stabs it into her mouth
because he's in such a fit of rage.

727
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:37.000
That is exactly what the studies say
happens when people like him, if

728
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.880
you remember, like I said earlier, if they don't get their way,

729
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:50.199
they generate abandonment, precipitated violence.
She said no, she abandoned him in

730
00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:55.920
his eyes, and she paid the
price. In his final statement, he

731
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:04.119
told police he covered her face and
and he ran home to cry. Further

732
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:08.360
electronic records would be used to prove
no one else had gone into the apartment

733
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:14.119
when the security door at the apartment
was locked at eleven thirty three pm.

734
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:17.280
That was on December seventh, and
it had not been opened again until the

735
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.559
apartment a manager opened it the following
day. So when asked why he took

736
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:29.320
the time to lock the door as
he left in his panicked state, because

737
00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:32.039
of this horrific accident that happened when
she now it seems like fell on a

738
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:35.920
pencil. Post mortems, she was
already dead and she fell on a pencil.

739
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:42.960
His answer, he locked the door
out of respect, right, you

740
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:50.400
respected her? Sure. Darryl Priestley
was arrested on December twenty second, two

741
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:52.760
thousand and nine, and he was
charged with the death of nineteen year old

742
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:57.880
Brandy Danielle Davis, who by the
way, was his high school friend.

743
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:02.519
Just all cried out too when the
trial came around, because he showed no

744
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:07.679
reaction when the photos of her dead
in her apartment were put up on the

745
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:14.880
screen, not one tear. Judge
William T. Woodrum sentence Daryl to life

746
00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:20.960
in prison plus ten years, and
in an epic display of grace, Danielle's

747
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:25.000
mom was quoted as saying she felt
sorry for Daryl Priestley because he had no

748
00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:31.480
one with him throughout the trial,
and she also forgave him and said her

749
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:37.320
hope was that he would make a
positive change and maybe help other people behind

750
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:42.119
bars. And I think again,
this is a testament to the type of

751
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:46.599
mama that we're dealing with, and
in that respect, I guess if God

752
00:56:46.599 --> 00:57:00.800
can make a bugs ass light up, I'm sure he can do something with Daryl Priestley
