00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.119
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast. Or I tell

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.480
stories of real crimes with real victims whose cases are

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.119
so shocking that many are left wondering how is this

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:24.920
even real? I use my experiences in law enforcement corrections,

5
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.039
and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator,

6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.719
dig deep into complex cases of evil acts, some so

7
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:52.679
evil many feel they are unspeakable. Warning. Unspeakable as intended

8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.719
for mature audiences. If you are easily offended, then I'm

9
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.880
not your girl. Listening discretion is advised. Hey, y'all, it's

10
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.399
kJ You're back for another episode of Unspeakable. What's going

11
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.200
on with y'all? At the time that I am recording this,

12
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.640
I'm in the throes of giving midterms at school and

13
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.879
so things are very chaotic, But I have got a

14
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.879
bang up episode for you today. Before I start it, though,

15
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.079
I do want to let you know that quarterly gifts

16
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.799
from my crime family members are going to be heading

17
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.159
out this week. Please remember that because it's the holiday season,

18
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.879
there are slower delivery times, so at the time that

19
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.719
you're hearing this, I don't know if you will have

20
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.519
gotten it yet, but it is coming your way. And

21
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.680
sometimes I do have to mail them in waves. But

22
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.920
look for those. I think they're precious and I worked

23
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.480
hard on those. Unless you know you want them to

24
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.519
be manly than they're manly, not precious, but look out

25
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.439
for those. They're headed your way. And I also want

26
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.120
to let you know I think I've already mentioned it

27
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.799
that I'm on Cameo. Now, if you want to check

28
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.719
that out, you can look for the app on your

29
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.480
iPhone or whatever, find Cameo, and you can send me

30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.040
a request for a shout out, a special shout out

31
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.079
with video specifically catered to your needs. And then, last

32
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.760
but not least, I want to let you know that

33
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.519
this episode will be the last episode of this season

34
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.719
where to take a break for the week of Christmas.

35
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.280
I want you to enjoy your family, friend's faith, and

36
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.480
all of those things. And then at the beginning of

37
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.879
next year, we are going to start out with a

38
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.879
freaking bang. So don't be freaked out when you don't

39
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.159
see a new episode drop. You're enjoying Christmas, and then

40
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.120
the new season will begin right after that. Now, before

41
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.159
I go any further, I do have shout outs that

42
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.439
I have to do. And last episode I said hey

43
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.280
to someone who had put just Hayden as her name.

44
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.560
Well guess what she wrote me. So, Hayden, I'm gonna

45
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.840
give you a few more seconds of my time because

46
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.199
I thought it was so cute. She says, Hey, I'm

47
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.319
the Just Hayden. I had no idea that you were

48
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:39.919
going to be, you know, saying all this stuff to

49
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.199
your listeners. But she's from Dublin, Georgia, and she lives

50
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.280
in I think it's Tanil, Georgia. I don't know, y'all,

51
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.080
don't come at me. And she owns a little coffee

52
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.800
shop in Sandersville called Diesel Donuts. So I'm gonna go

53
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.680
ahead and give you a little business shout out. So

54
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.319
if y'all are in Sandersville, go to Diesel Donuts, and

55
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.439
I want y'all to try him and just say kJ

56
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.199
sent you there, even though it doesn't mean anything if

57
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:06.840
you don't or if you do. But I'm just tickled

58
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.280
by it. And Hayden is a woman, not a man,

59
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.639
So if I said he sorry about that. But hey, Hayden,

60
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.479
you're no longer just Hayden. You're Hayden with the Diesel Donuts.

61
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.960
How's that? But I've also got Tallahassee Alabama in the

62
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.560
house with miss Casey luster, Hey, case what's going on

63
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.919
over there? What about in Jarrow, Louisiana with Haley Savoy

64
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.479
ooh I like that Savoy. Yeah, how are you, Hailey?

65
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.039
And then in Unice. Now, because I'm just ignorant, y'all,

66
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.960
I thought this was gonna be Unice, Louisiana, and I

67
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.840
got all crazy when I wrote it down, and then

68
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.400
I went back and double checked. And did you know

69
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.360
that there is a Unice, New Mexico Because I had

70
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.439
no clue, but there is. And you know who lives there, Shelley.

71
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.520
I don't have your last name, Shelley, but Shelley's there

72
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.000
and I want to say hey to you, girl, how

73
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:56.840
are you? And then right in Shelbyville, Tennessee, is Jenna Atkins. Hey, Jenna,

74
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.719
what's going on? One of my good friends is named Jenna.

75
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.400
I've said this before and in my phone I have

76
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.719
her set as a Virgina and I think it's hilarious.

77
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.520
But uh, hey, Jenna Atkins out there in Tennessee, I

78
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.639
hope you're doing well. And then last but not least,

79
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.840
I've got Miss Hannah Massy. Now Hannah is also gonna

80
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.360
be from Georgia. How are you doing, Hannah. I hope

81
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.639
things are going well over there in Thomister. I hope

82
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.360
I said that right, Georgia, And I'm so thankful to

83
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.120
have you supporting me and my show. Y'all are the difference,

84
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.360
and you're the reason that I'm have way more content

85
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.759
coming out as soon as I get through this school year. Okay,

86
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.800
let me get started. I want you all to come

87
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.319
with me to Barron County, Wisconsin. Now, if you've never

88
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.560
been there, I haven't, so I checked it out and

89
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.839
it says that it's got a long history there. It

90
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.360
was established in eighteen sixty, but prior to that, it

91
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.639
was one of the areas that the many thousands of

92
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.079
Native Americans inhabited. It's filled with lakes and lots of

93
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.040
forest area perfect for hunting and fishing, and even today

94
00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:00.879
that sentiment stands true. There's boating, there's camping, there's cross

95
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.120
country skiing, fishing, golfing, and snowmobiling, which I've never done before.

96
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.240
I want to try that. If my husband's listening, Blake,

97
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.279
take Mama snowmobiling. But uh, I thought that was kind

98
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.839
of cool. They've got this pioneer village museum, which has

99
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.639
this replica of where like how the pioneers used to

100
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.240
live and how they work, so you can go check

101
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.399
it out like how it really was, and then you

102
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.639
can try specialty foods there, like they have locally produced bison,

103
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.879
which I've never tried. They've got cheese, and they have

104
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.920
breweries that you can tour. So oh in all sounds

105
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.959
like a great place to live if you're there, Hey,

106
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.279
y'all got my respect. It sounds like a cool place

107
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.839
to be. Now, some people just check it out. They

108
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.879
call it home. And that was the case of James

109
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.480
and Denise Closs, and both of them were lifelong residents

110
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.079
of Wisconsin. They were a loving couple, having gotten married

111
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.680
in June ninth of two thousand and three, and they

112
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.279
did a little getaway wedding in Las Vegas, which I

113
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.160
just think is so cool. There was a big age

114
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.199
gap between them. By big, I mean maybe not major,

115
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.920
but there was a ten year age gap between the

116
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.199
two of them. But that meant nothing. Age is just

117
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.040
a number, right. James was fifty six, Denise was forty six.

118
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.839
And the word that comes to mind to me whenever

119
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.639
I'm describing them, based on everything that I've read and

120
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.319
seen is that they would the word in tune comes

121
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.040
to me or the words in tune. They seem just

122
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.240
to be so in tune with one another and just

123
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.240
a good couple. They were in tune with one another.

124
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.519
And they were no strangers to commitment. What do I

125
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.240
mean by that? They were committed in their marriage, but

126
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:38.639
they were committed at work. Matter of fact, both of

127
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.319
them had worked at the Jenny O Turkey for twenty

128
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.000
seven years. That's crazy. That's a good stint at one job,

129
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.560
and that's dedication. So over I went it and looked

130
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.319
up Genny O Turkey to make sure I knew exactly

131
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.879
what I was talking about. And they do processing there,

132
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.680
so they process whole turkeys, and they do deli meat

133
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.639
and sausage and ground turkey and all that. Jazz James

134
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.120
was a sports guy. His teams were the Wisconsin Badgers,

135
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.480
and he also loved the Green Bay Packers, and I

136
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.800
would have expected nothing less, if I'm being honest. One

137
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.319
of his favorite things to do was to reminisce about

138
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.959
his good old days. And he seemed to have had

139
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.439
an amazing high school athletic career and so just going

140
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.120
back on that was something that he just really enjoyed doing.

141
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.480
And I can so identify with that feeling of remembering

142
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.959
the wins and the camaraderie and the highs and the

143
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.720
lows of competition. You know, I myself was an athlete.

144
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.680
I played volleyball and basketball and softball. I ran track.

145
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:35.800
I was on the LSU track team for a little while,

146
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.160
throwing the javelin and so reminiscing about the glory days.

147
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.639
I just totally understand where he's coming from, because we

148
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.839
get older and those days, in those awesome moments, sometimes

149
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.040
are fleeting after a while. He also had a loving family,

150
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.079
his parents, He had his sister named Kelly, He had

151
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.079
brothers Mike and Jeff, and then he had his wife,

152
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.800
the love of his life, who he chose, and she

153
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.480
was just as wonderful as he was. Her name was Denise,

154
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.920
and from what I understand, was a woman's woman, And

155
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.720
I think that is the greatest thing that a woman

156
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.160
can say about another woman, is that she's a woman's

157
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.920
woman and that she has a heart of gold. She

158
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.000
enjoyed doing things that a lot of women in their

159
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.199
forties like to do. She would tend to her flowers,

160
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.160
she loved to go feed her birds outside. She loved angels,

161
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.480
and most important, I would assume to her was the

162
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.759
fact that she loved the Lord. She was an active

163
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.440
member of Saint Peter's Catholic Church and Cameron and together

164
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.759
the two of them had a daughter who they named Jamie,

165
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.759
and both of them adored their baby girl. Now this

166
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.000
next statement I'm gonna make I'm not one hundred percent

167
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.159
sure about. And I did reach out to family members

168
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.240
but did not have an answer at the time of

169
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.399
this recording. But from what I understand, they also had

170
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.240
a little missing piece of their heart in that there

171
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.000
was a baby that died as an infant named James,

172
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.279
and I believe that that was their baby. And if

173
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.919
I'm wrong, I apologize. Just from what I gather, that

174
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.159
is what I believe to be the case. But if

175
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.440
not their child, there was a baby James who they

176
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.039
did love, So shout out to baby James. Now Jamie

177
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.039
will be thirteen years old at the time that this

178
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.519
story takes place, and she is the absolute apple of

179
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:26.759
her parents' eyes. They were steady, decent, good people, so

180
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.519
it was an absolute shock when a nine to one

181
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.080
to one call came from their residence on October the

182
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.840
fifteenth of twenty eighteen. But all that the operator could

183
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.120
discern from the call was screaming in the background. No

184
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.960
words were making sense. It was jumbled, and it sounded

185
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.039
terrible as they listened as as the operator listened in

186
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.679
trying to figure out what was going on. The location

187
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.600
that the call came from was determined to be just

188
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.919
three miles from the nine to one dispatch center, which

189
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.080
would have been off a highway eight. So as soon

190
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.440
as the call came in and they were able to

191
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.559
locate where the call was coming from, help was dispatched

192
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.600
out and three deputies immediately turned on their lights and

193
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:11.360
they raced towards that home. Deputies James Presley, Eric Saddani,

194
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.200
and John Fick knew that they had to get there

195
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.240
based on the screaming described by the dispatcher that had

196
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.399
come through the line, So they were not going to wait,

197
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.639
and they jumped in those vehicles and they hauled ass

198
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.320
and they arrived to that house just a few minutes later,

199
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.000
which was about one o'clock in the morning. Now, once

200
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.720
they got to the home, the deputies approached the house cautiously,

201
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.919
but they noted that the home was eerily silent, and

202
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.200
it was also dark. It didn't seem like there was

203
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.639
a lot going on considering the call that had supposedly

204
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.720
come from the home. There was no movement, there was

205
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:49.759
no screaming, there was nothing. The only thing that they noted,

206
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.000
like I said, was that it was super dark. There

207
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.799
were no outside lights on of the house. But as

208
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.759
they kind of walked around to figure out what was

209
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.679
going on, they could see one light that was a

210
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.000
single light on in an upstairs window on the front

211
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.080
of the home. So Deputy Presley told Deputy Sadani go

212
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.960
and try to make contact with anyone in the home

213
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.679
from the front while he walked around the back to

214
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:16.600
kind of look for any signs of danger, if anyone

215
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.000
was exiting the home or anything like that. He saw nothing,

216
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.360
but he did notice again on the other side that

217
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.879
that same light on the back side of the house

218
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.120
was on from the upstairs. Now, the home was a

219
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.759
modest one. It was a tannish color. Depending on which

220
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.759
photos you look at, it either has a blue front

221
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.240
door or a white front door. It doesn't really matter.

222
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.279
But it is a modest home and it looks actually

223
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.440
single level until you approach it and the driveway kind

224
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.200
of curves around the back side of it, and then

225
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.679
you realize there's a carport type area underneath, and it

226
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.799
is actually two stories, but the lay of the land

227
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.879
you can't really tell it's two stories until you come

228
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.639
up on it. It had a front door, front door

229
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.320
that had a glass storm door on it. So when

230
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.240
Deputy Sadani kind of walked up there quietly, he shined

231
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:12.080
his flashlight on the door, and it was really hard

232
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.440
to see inside when he did that because there was

233
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.480
very heavy condensation on that storm door. So as it

234
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.320
got closer, he could tell that the wooden door behind

235
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.159
this storm door was open, not all the way, but

236
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.919
it was pushed open. And so as he looked the

237
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.720
door up and down when he got closer, he could

238
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.679
see that it was wedged open because a rug that

239
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.039
was right inside the doorway had, you know, kind of

240
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.320
flipped up, and it seemed like it got caught between

241
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.879
the door and the doorframes. The door was unable to close,

242
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.200
and it left just enough of a crack that he

243
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.240
could see in, and to his surprise, I guess, and

244
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.039
more like shock, he did see a pair of legs

245
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.000
laying on the ground inside. So at that point he

246
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.000
wasn't going to wait. He pushed the door open further

247
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.759
to try to see inside more clearly, and he could

248
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.879
tell that those legs belonged to a male, an adult male,

249
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.519
lying on the ground with his feet near the door.

250
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.360
The man was motionless, he made no sound, and clearly

251
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.320
was either dead or very injured, one or the other.

252
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.600
So the police announced their presence inside the home. They

253
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.000
yelled for anyone inside to show themselves, but all the

254
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:26.600
officers heard was silence and stillness. So I'm sure you

255
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.879
can imagine that this is unnerving because they don't know

256
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.200
what they're about to walk into. So they made the

257
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.320
decision to enter the home together as a team for

258
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.200
safety reasons and they could cover one another. And they

259
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.639
don't know the layout of the home either, so that

260
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.960
makes good sense. As they made their way through the home,

261
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.320
they came to a hallway where partially between a bedroom

262
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.039
in the hallway there was a shower curtain that was

263
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.120
pulled and just haphazardly thrown on the floor in the hallway.

264
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.120
They edged closer, unsure of what to expect exactly, and

265
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.480
as they passed that bedroom door, Deputy Saddani looked in

266
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.519
and immediately saw that there was an adult female with

267
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:11.240
red hair sitting up but unresponsive in the tub. That curtain,

268
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.840
that shower curtain had clearly been pulled from that bathroom

269
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.759
and slung down on the ground. The woman wasn't moving

270
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:22.559
and wasn't responding to anything. They continued forward to ensure

271
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.720
that the home was safe and that there were no

272
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.919
intruders inside, and they would find that there was no

273
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.519
one else there. So immediately they were on their radios

274
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.960
and they said, look, we need to get an ambulance

275
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.759
over here. We've got people down. Once the ambulance arrived,

276
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.559
paramedics came inside the home, but they really just confirmed

277
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.960
what the deputies already knew, and that was that there

278
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.799
was nothing to do. Both victims were deceased and clearly so,

279
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.679
if I'm being honest. The deputies saw shotgun shells on

280
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.879
the ground as they cleared the home, and the wounds

281
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:57.200
of the victims were devastating, But they did their due

282
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.279
diligence and they called the ambulance, you know, just in sure,

283
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.399
you never know, but when the coroner, you know, when

284
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.879
when the ambulance workers got there, they're like, the coroner's

285
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.440
going to be more help at this at this point,

286
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.480
because the injuries were just devastating to these people. So

287
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.879
what the deputies had walked through, as you can tell,

288
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.080
was nothing short than heart stopping, although they remained calm

289
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.279
and steady to clear the home. And I want you

290
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.320
to know, my Patreon members, I've got the audio from

291
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.320
the body cam as they do this, and you can

292
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.519
go in and listen live. As they were clearing the home,

293
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.080
the man that they had stepped over in the front

294
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.360
door had significant head trauma to his face and to

295
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:42.440
his head. There was blood and brain matter just splattering

296
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:48.600
on the west wall, which directly lined up behind the

297
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.399
wooden entrance, And clearly from anyone who's ever seen a

298
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.519
shotgun blast to a person or an animal, you can

299
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.159
tell that this was a shotgun blast that this person

300
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.320
had received to the head. The female in the bathroom

301
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.120
was also in terrible shape and had horrific head trauma.

302
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.039
It also looked to be again from a shotgun blast,

303
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.200
and it was so traumatic. It had blown off the

304
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:16.120
back of her head and her skull plate was lying

305
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.840
next to her in the bathtub. So what had happened

306
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.320
in this home wasn't really clear other than the fact

307
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.639
that two people were dead, brutally assassinated as far as

308
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.559
I'm concerned, and there was no obvious motive that could

309
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.480
be seen in that moment. So detectives were called to

310
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.879
the scene and they started their investigation. The home was

311
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.399
determined to be owned by James and Denise Class, who

312
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.960
were also believed to be the deceased victims. When detective

313
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.360
Nelson arrived on the scene, he entered the home and

314
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.279
he saw James right away, right where police had found him,

315
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.559
lying in the doorway. And as he looked about, he

316
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.639
realized that the door had not just been opened, that

317
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:04.039
front door, It had been forcibly entered. So the door

318
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.440
had this decorative glass in it which was completely shattered,

319
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.160
and the dead bolt mechanism was just destroyed on the house.

320
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:16.039
So it wasn't kicked in. It wasn't pride open. No,

321
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.279
that's not what happened. This was clearly the result of

322
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.160
a gunshot blast to the dead bolt area of the door,

323
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.759
which is horrifying to think about someone just blowing their

324
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.519
way through your front door. He made his way to

325
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.200
Denise and he found her, like I told you, seated

326
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.200
in the tub with her head lying against the lower

327
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.279
portion of the tub. And he also noticed that the

328
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.880
drawer to the bathroom cabinet that butted up to the

329
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.240
opening door of the bathroom was pulled open. So from

330
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.680
the way it looked, the detective felt like she had

331
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.359
gone and hidden in that bathroom, and then when she

332
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.880
shut the bathroom door, she then opened that drawer to

333
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.799
try and like Barrick, the door from being opened even

334
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.920
if someone pushed. But the door to the bathroom had

335
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:09.440
been kicked or pushed with such force that it split

336
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:14.079
the door in half into two perfect horizontal halves. Okay,

337
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.519
so someone blew through that door as well, but it

338
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.319
was not a shotgun blast. It was like forcibly kicked

339
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.279
through or something like that. There was one triangular shape

340
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.200
that had broken off of the door and it flew

341
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.640
off and it landed in that open drawer. And he

342
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.000
also saw a cell phone near the hinge side of

343
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.279
the door, and the cell phone was faced down on

344
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.119
the ground. There was a shotgun shell casing, or more

345
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.400
than one, but there were shotgun shell casings found about

346
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.599
the home and the property, and one casing was found

347
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.160
outside the house near the concrete steps that led to

348
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:54.079
the front door. One was lying next to James's body inside,

349
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.039
and one was in the hallway outside of the bathroom

350
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.839
door where Denise's body was located. And the amount of

351
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.680
blood at the scene, as you can imagine, was pretty incredible.

352
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.400
But that turned out to be useful though, because the

353
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.440
pooling of blood near James's body had a shoeprint in it,

354
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.240
and the treads in the blood looked to be made

355
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.079
from that of a tactical boot. But now this brought

356
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.400
about a question. Had an officer stepped in the blood

357
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.000
while walking through the home or was this the shoeprint

358
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.359
of the killer that had come through this home. So

359
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:32.519
as the scene was really limited in what they could

360
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.720
just discern at that moment, and they processed it, Detective

361
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.160
Nelson's phone rang and brought something to his attention that

362
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.839
would make his heart absolutely sink. The classes had that

363
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.119
minor daughter. Her name was Jamie. Have y'all found her?

364
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.400
Someone asked on the other line, they have a daughter.

365
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.880
Have you found her? Is she in the house? And

366
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.079
he says, no, there's no one else here. Are you

367
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.599
sure was she here? Are you sure that she was here?

368
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.279
And they say, yes, she is there. He said, We've

369
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.279
checked everywhere she's not here. Are you sure she wasn't

370
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.559
with with family or a friend or something like that,

371
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.519
But she wasn't, y'all. And the realization that she wasn't

372
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.880
at a friend's house or at any of her other

373
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.279
family member's house made this double murder case now even worse.

374
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.359
Now there was a missing child and no one had

375
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.680
a clue where she could be or who had come

376
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.160
through this house and murdered her two parents. So now

377
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.079
the question became, Okay, did she run off because she

378
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.680
got scared? Was she injured? Was she kidnapped? You know,

379
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.880
none of these questions had immediate answers, so police did

380
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.920
what they could to start a search for her, and

381
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.400
this included the issuing of a Wisconsin crime Alert as

382
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.680
well as an Amber Alert, which, by the way, I

383
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.119
think that knowledge is absolute power. So to my Wisconsin listeners,

384
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.119
just so you know, it's free to sign up for

385
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.079
these Wisconsin crime alerts. And the way that it works

386
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.279
is the Wisconsin Department of Justice allows the locals, state, federal,

387
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.960
and tribal law enforcement agencies to send out crime alert

388
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.000
bulletins to businesses and they go out to the public

389
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:13.200
and they target recipients based on the types of businesses

390
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.160
and locations that are believed to possibly be able to

391
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.400
help in certain cases. So for example, hotels or restaurants

392
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.920
or people in that exact area, all of those places

393
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.319
will be targeted to get these messages. And so I'm

394
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.319
going to put a link in the show notes and

395
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.039
on Patreon so that you can sign up if you're interested.

396
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.880
And all other states or most other states have something

397
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:37.359
that is like this, and you can search it for

398
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.319
it in your area. But no matter the alerts or

399
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.720
the searches that were done or set up, or the

400
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.119
extreme just exhaustion put out to try to find Jamie,

401
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.119
she was never recovered. Her parents were laid to rest

402
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.279
on Saturday, October twenty seventh, twenty eighteen, in a somber funeral,

403
00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:01.000
but without their baby girl, Jamie. Nobody found her. So

404
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:04.039
the heartache that the family must have been feeling, along

405
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.680
with the unknown fate of Jamie, that had to be

406
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.319
just devastating, just simply devastating. I really thought about that

407
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.200
when I was writing this, that there's a whole family

408
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.079
wiped out with no rhyme or reason, and then the

409
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.480
child has just disappeared without a trace, and the family's

410
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.759
just left sitting there going, oh my god, what happened. Well.

411
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.680
Police would continue their investigating on the case, but really

412
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.599
to no avail. The leads were slim and the case

413
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:35.359
really seemed to just come to a screeching fast halt.

414
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:42.359
For three months, nothing, there was absolutely nothing that came

415
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.880
of this double murder and missing child. So three months

416
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.319
would go by, But I'm gonna tell you it's actually

417
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.839
eighty eight days to be exact. Eighty eight days would

418
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.480
go by, and it was around three pm, three thirty

419
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.039
pm when Genie Nutter did decided to go for a

420
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:05.079
walk around her neighborhood with her dog. She was walking

421
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.920
for about forty minutes before she made it back to

422
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.039
her driveway, and as she approached her house, she noticed

423
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.119
a young girl standing in the roadway and as they

424
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.359
made eye contact, the girl began to just fall apart

425
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:24.359
and cry for help. So Genie noticed that the child

426
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.799
seemed to be in shock. She had matted hair, really

427
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.839
messy clothes, and she just looked exhausted. This was not

428
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.000
just a kid having a bad day. Something was very,

429
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.279
very wrong. It was nineteen degrees outside and the girl

430
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.880
was only wearing leggings and a sweatshirt, and at first glance,

431
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.160
it was really obvious that she was also wearing what

432
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.720
looked to be men's shoes. They were way too big

433
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.000
for her and she was struggling to walk in them,

434
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.640
and they were even on the wrong feet, like she

435
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.519
had just thrown these shoes one But she started yelling,

436
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.279
please help me. He killed my parents. I'm Jamie class,

437
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:01.680
it's me. I want to go home. Jeannie was shocked.

438
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.119
I mean she just utterly shocked looking at this young

439
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.200
girl because she knew the case. She knew it well,

440
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.599
she had seen it on the news, and really, for

441
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.200
a moment, she's staring at this little girl, going is

442
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.640
this for real? How could this be for real? But

443
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:18.240
it was and Jeannie then instantly became so scared that

444
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.319
she said, come here, come here, and gathered up the girl.

445
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.640
And so we got to get more people to help us,

446
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.319
because we need more eyes on this. Right, So there

447
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:29.400
was a home nearby right there, There was like this

448
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.359
cabin right there by her house, but no one was

449
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.319
usually there, and so next to that or a little

450
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.720
ways down was the home of the Kasinkas. Peter and

451
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.559
Kristen Kasenka were home, and so they ran up to

452
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.400
that house knocking on the door explaining what was going on,

453
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:48.200
and these people immediately opened their home, let these girls

454
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.960
come in, this woman and this girl, and then dialed

455
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.440
nine one one, and they knew that the police were

456
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.200
immediately going to be en route. And the police did

457
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.000
arrive there shortly thereafter, but you have to imagine everybody

458
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.640
was afraid. The Casinkas were like, get everybody downstairs, get

459
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.559
them down in the basement. You know, they're looking out

460
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:06.880
the window trying to make sure that there's no crazed

461
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.240
person coming after them because this Jamie has said that

462
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:14.119
her parents were killed by the person that you know,

463
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.920
had her basically and took her away from her parents.

464
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.000
So when the police arrived, they almost were kind of

465
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.839
skeptical about it, but it was true. It really was Jamie.

466
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.920
So the obvious questions come about, where have you been,

467
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.480
Why haven't you contacted your family or the police? You

468
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.839
know what's been going on that we don't We couldn't

469
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.400
find you. And she was alive and she had a

470
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.000
story to tell that seemed so unreal for a young

471
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.480
girl to have lived through what I'm about to tell you,

472
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.279
for her to be alive and standing before them able

473
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.279
to tell it is incredible. But Jamie was a strong

474
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.680
young girl and was very matter of fact in what

475
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.559
she had been experiencing for the last eighty eight days.

476
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.480
For the purposes of telling this story completely and in order,

477
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.960
I'm going to be adding in information that Jamie may

478
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:04.960
not have known at the time that she was talking

479
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.599
to the police, but I'm adding it in for you

480
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:10.119
for clarification so that you can see how the story

481
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:15.799
unfolds as it unfolded completely. But Jamie started out by

482
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.880
telling them the night that her parents were murdered, she

483
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.440
was asleep in her bed and it was actually the

484
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.119
early morning hours when her dog, Molly, started barking. But

485
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:28.200
there was something different about this bark, and the dog

486
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:32.079
wouldn't stop barking either. It just was a very different

487
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.039
bark coming from this dog. And all of us are

488
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:36.119
pet owners, we know exactly what I'm talking about right here.

489
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.839
With different that different bark that comes from them, it's

490
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.359
an alert. So Jamie got out of her bed to

491
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.519
go see what was going on, and as she walked

492
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.599
in her living room, she noticed that someone was in

493
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.400
their driveway and that wasn't cool. It was one o'clock

494
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:51.640
in the morning, so she ran straight to her parents'

495
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.200
bedroom and she woke up her daddy. Dadd either somebody outside,

496
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.359
there's someone in our driveway. What Jamie didn't know as

497
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.839
she woke up herd was that someone hadn't just happened

498
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.960
upon their home in the wee hours of the morning.

499
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.480
That man she saw was a man on a mission,

500
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.519
and to get where he was in that moment, he

501
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:17.039
had purposely shut off his headlights and then coasted his

502
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.799
vehicle into the driveway to be as quiet as possible,

503
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:24.599
and once he was comfortably near the home, he got

504
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.440
out and he slowly closed his door in silence, and

505
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.279
then had begun walking up to the house, following the

506
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.359
little sidewalk that led to the front door. And as

507
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.960
that man got close, he noticed that the gentleman from inside,

508
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.079
which would have been Jamie's dad, was peering out of

509
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:44.960
the window trying to see who was in their driveway.

510
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.240
She had done exactly like you would hope a child

511
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.640
would do. She had woken her daddy up, and he

512
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:55.200
got up and he went immediately into protective mode. That

513
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:58.680
time of night or early morning hours wasn't normal for

514
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:02.160
anyone to be at their house and it just did

515
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.079
not set right with him. So he had grabbed the

516
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.960
flashlight that he had and he went to the front door,

517
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.240
and that's when he came face to face with arguably

518
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.319
what we all fear happening at our homes. There was

519
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:17.720
a man outside of his house, just on the other

520
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.319
side of the door, and he was armed with a gun. Now,

521
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.880
James knew immediately that this was nothing to mess around with,

522
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.319
so he whispered firmly to Jamie and her mama, you'll

523
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.359
go hide, Go hide now. And they could tell by

524
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.200
the fierceness in his voice that they shouldn't question him

525
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.400
and they needed to do exactly what he said, and

526
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.720
so they immediately did. So they both ran. Jamie and

527
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.880
her mama ran into that hallway of their house, and

528
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.000
then they went into the bathroom. Mama shut the door,

529
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.559
opened the drawer to kind of barricade it, and then

530
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.200
they both got in the tub together and they closed

531
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:58.599
the bathroom curtain just to hide. So it got quiet,

532
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.160
and James was peeking through that decorative glass on the

533
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.880
front door, and that's when the man ordered him to

534
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.880
open up and get on the ground. So James responded

535
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:12.400
with complete uncertainty, let me see your badge. In his mind,

536
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:16.839
I'm believing that James thought maybe he was the police,

537
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.559
because he said get on the ground, and I'm sure

538
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:21.359
he was very confused as a very confusing situation, and

539
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:24.039
he wasn't sure what was going on. But as soon

540
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:27.160
as he said let me see your badge, a gun

541
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.119
blast shattered through the silence, and both mom and Jamie

542
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.240
could tell from their location that it had blown through

543
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.799
the front door by the sound, and Jamie knew in

544
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.400
her gut that her dad had been seriously hurt, if

545
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.400
not killed. And then there was a period of silence,

546
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:52.039
and this unknown man was creeping through their house in

547
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.920
the dark, and he was searching. He had his own

548
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:00.000
flashlight and he was flashing it around in the home,

549
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:05.960
looking for something, hunting for something that he couldn't find.

550
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.440
So Jamie and her mama muffled their panicked breathing and

551
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.480
they remained as quiet as possible, hoping that he would

552
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:19.160
just take what he wanted and he would leave. So

553
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:21.400
his light flashed back and forth as he walked down

554
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.880
the hall, checking for a movement, and then he came

555
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.920
back to that shut door that he had walked past,

556
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.359
When he initially went looking through the rooms, he had

557
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:34.519
scanned his light back and forth, and when he got

558
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:39.200
to that door, he turned the knob, but he quickly

559
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.599
realized that it was locked. Denise had locked that door

560
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.440
when they went in there to hide. Now Denise had

561
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.559
her cell phone and through her shaking hands, she had

562
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.880
dialed nine one one, But before she could give any information,

563
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.079
the intruder slammed into that bathroom door, and both Denise

564
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.480
and Jamie started screaming at the tops of their lungs

565
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.079
and absolute sheer terror. Even the drawer, like I told you,

566
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:09.759
was pulled out, it did nothing to reinforce the door

567
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:14.000
from opening. The absolute brutality and force that this intruder

568
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.799
used just blew through that door. And in times of

569
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.519
life or death panic. I want you to know that

570
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.759
the nine one one calls. The audio is not often

571
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.480
easy to understand, but I do have it for you

572
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.680
to listen to. So take a listen. And here's the

573
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:32.440
very muffled and hard to hear a nine one one call,

574
00:31:32.960 --> 00:32:22.160
as Denise dials, and they're screaming for their lives. The

575
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.599
terror in her voice is palpable, even when you can't

576
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.880
even understand the words that she's saying. The man kicked

577
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:31.839
at that door. Come to find out, he had kicked

578
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:34.400
at it over and over again until it finally split

579
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.720
in half. And that's when he came through the door.

580
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:41.079
And they saw him dressed in all black from head

581
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.799
to toe, including a mask and a hat, and he

582
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.160
had gloves and he grabbed that shower curtain and he

583
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.480
just ripped it off the wall and he stood over

584
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:55.160
the two females cowering in their tub, and he looked

585
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:58.359
at the mother, Denise, and he demanded that she hang

586
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:02.000
up the phone. So she did as she was told,

587
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.119
and as soon as she hung up that phone, she

588
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.839
then wrapped her arms around her baby girl, burying her

589
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:12.240
face into her daughter, doing the only thing that she

590
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.119
could do to protect her, which was to wrap her

591
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.680
in a bear hug. And that's when the intruder pulled

592
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.960
a flattened, partial roll of black gorilla duct tape from

593
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:27.000
his jacket and he threw it at Denise, and she

594
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.119
looked at it, and he demanded that she take that

595
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.440
tape and she tape her daughter's mouth shut. So, in

596
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:38.880
desperation to save both of their lives, she complied, and

597
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.480
she did what she was told taping her daughter's mouth shut,

598
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.160
and then in an instant, when she did exactly what

599
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:49.279
she was told to do with no pushback, he raised

600
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.240
his gun and he shot her mother in the head,

601
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.400
with Jamie sitting right beside her. And what that child

602
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:01.799
experienced to that point is something that no one adult

603
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:06.799
or child should ever see. Her mother instantly slumped forward

604
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.320
and she was gone, but her final moments were spent

605
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:15.840
doing the only thing that she could do to hold

606
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.159
her baby and show her love while trying to save

607
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.599
their lives. And I can just see and it hurts

608
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.760
my heart. It like genuinely hurts my heart. I can

609
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.519
see this woman cowering and just bear hugging her child

610
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:31.360
because that's all she can do. There's nothing else she

611
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.800
can do. She's up against an enemy that's got her

612
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:36.280
outgunned and out manned, and she knew it, but she

613
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:41.119
still grabbed her child with the last ounce of what

614
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:45.239
she had. But it was for naught. This man didn't

615
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:51.760
care about the bond that he just destroyed his target.

616
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.239
The thing that he came and that he was searching

617
00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.400
for was now powerless and voiceless, and it was a

618
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:03.880
thirteen year old girl in a matter of less than

619
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:10.559
four minutes, this intruder had destroyed a family forever, and

620
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:16.039
he now had total control over Janie, who had nothing

621
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:22.239
but his mercy to depend on. But unfortunately, this would

622
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.800
be just the beginning of her misery. With her murdered

623
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:29.840
mother slumped beside her in the bathtub, the man then

624
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:33.280
taped her hands together behind her back, and then he

625
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:37.199
taped her ankles together with that tape, basically immobilizing her.

626
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:41.079
And the way that he taped around her from what

627
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.320
I understand, when her mother was putting the tape on there,

628
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.559
he got aggravated because it wasn't I guess aggressive enough,

629
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.360
and he took the tape and wrapped it completely around

630
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.159
her face like around her completely around her face, not

631
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:56.719
just a piece of tape torn off, So he completely

632
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:02.679
immobilized her, and with his shotgun in one hand, he

633
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:06.239
then wrapped his other free arm around Jamie and began

634
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.159
dragging her out of the house away from her mother,

635
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.559
and passed the body of her dead father in the doorway,

636
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.199
and as he drug her through the living room, he

637
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.480
stepped in her father's pulling blood and almost slipped down,

638
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:26.360
which completely aggravated him and so aggravated by the inconvenience

639
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.079
of it all. He then demanded that Jamie walked to

640
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:36.840
his car, which she couldn't because the dumb ass had

641
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.599
taped her ankle so tight that she couldn't walk. So

642
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.880
then he snatched her up again, but this time he

643
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:44.440
was dragging her, and he drug her out of the

644
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.039
front of her house and then drug her up to

645
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:48.920
his car, where he then just dropped her on the

646
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.800
ground on the side of his car. She slammed to

647
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.840
the ground, unable to use her arm to even break

648
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.239
the fall, and then he walked to the rear of

649
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:59.559
his car. He popped the trunk open, and then he returned,

650
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.480
grabbed her, pulled her up on her feet, and then

651
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.480
stuffed her in his trunk and then slammed it shut

652
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:10.880
with her alone in the dark, terrified and beyond traumatized

653
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:15.719
by what had just happened. Even have experience, having experienced

654
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.480
the trauma of a lifetime, that child was still able

655
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:23.119
to remember important details about the vehicle that she was

656
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.559
stuffed into. She was able to tell the police it

657
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:30.559
was an older, red four door car, and that was

658
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.280
something that she had locked tight into her memory. It's

659
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.480
the one thing that this man could not control. He

660
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:38.679
may have destroyed her family, and he may have had

661
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.280
physical control of her body, but he could not control

662
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.400
what was in her thoughts. And she held on to

663
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:47.039
that detail and knew exactly what the car looked like

664
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:49.719
that she was stuffed into. And he then drove off

665
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.360
from the home. But shortly after I'm talking about, within

666
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.360
maybe thirty seconds of them driving away from the home,

667
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:58.199
she could hear the police cars, the sirens, and they

668
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.639
were getting closer and closer and closer, and she was thinking,

669
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.559
oh my god, yes, yes, they know they've come to

670
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.800
get me. But just as soon as they got close

671
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:10.559
to the car, those sirens went past it in the

672
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:14.719
opposite direction and they got quieter and quieter and quieter.

673
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.960
The police had unwittingly driven right past her on their

674
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.480
way to respond to that original call for help from

675
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.000
her mother at the home. And I have body and

676
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:26.960
police cam video and audio of all of this, like

677
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.360
I told you, and I'll upload it to Patreon. There's

678
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.800
even dashcam video of them responding to the house that

679
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:34.719
you can go look at. He had only been gone

680
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:36.440
from the home for less than a minute when the

681
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.679
police passed him, but being the chameleon that he was.

682
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.559
He simply slowed and pulled the car to the side

683
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:47.800
and yielded to the police, just like any driver would do,

684
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.639
and watched as the police flew past him, and then

685
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.079
he sped back up and he just kept going right

686
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.800
on down the road. She felt like she was in

687
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:01.440
that trunk for what seemed to be like two hours

688
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.519
before the car stopped and the man took her out

689
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:08.519
of the trunk and he then forced her to shimmy

690
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:12.360
inside and brought her into the house that she would

691
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.760
later be told was his house. He pushed her into

692
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.199
the hallway and then he told her to sit down

693
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:23.079
and stay and don't move. Well. By then she was crying.

694
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:28.039
She was shaking in utter fear, clearly terrified to know

695
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.000
that you know, this is literally what your worst nightmare

696
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:34.239
is made of. And she was so scared. And I'm

697
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.519
gonna tell y'all something. I'm not telling you this detail

698
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.159
detail to humiliate or anything like that. I'm telling you

699
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:42.159
this detail because I want you to understand that level

700
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:44.079
of fear that the son of a bitch put into

701
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.480
this child. She was so scared that she even lost

702
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:51.920
control of her of her bowels, of her bladder. Her

703
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.920
clothes literally were soaked in her own urine. She literally

704
00:39:56.159 --> 00:40:01.119
peed herself. She was so afraid. Don't you just want

705
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.519
to like scoop her up and hold her, tell her

706
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:06.199
it's okay. Like, just listening to this it just makes

707
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:07.920
me want to just go grab this child. I don't

708
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:11.440
even know her, but that wouldn't happen. The man came

709
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:13.559
up to her and he ripped the tape from her

710
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.880
mouth and then he cut it off of her. He

711
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.000
cut off the wrists tape and the ankle tape, which

712
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:23.679
I'm sure was a relief, but that real relief would

713
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:26.199
quickly go away because he then tells her to go

714
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.440
into his room and he tells her to take off

715
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:32.199
all of her clothes. As a young woman learning about

716
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.360
life at thirteen, y'all all know that this is a

717
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:39.079
very sensitive time. And as a mama, this part really

718
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.119
hurts my heart because you know, I know her mother

719
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:46.400
was no longer on this earth to tell her that

720
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:50.400
in this moment, Jamie, this isn't your fault. This will

721
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.719
never be okay what he is doing, but it will

722
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.760
never define you. It will never take away your dignity.

723
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:58.880
And you're gonna do this for survival, honey, this is

724
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.360
pure survival mode. You know, her mama was gone and

725
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:03.800
nobody was there to be able to tell her this.

726
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.320
And I know her mama would have told her. I

727
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:06.719
know she would have if she would have been there

728
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:09.239
with her. But she was on her own at this point,

729
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:11.239
and she was having to do something that goes against

730
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:14.119
everything she's ever been taught and everything that we feel

731
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.880
as a thirteen year old girl. A stranger has taken

732
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.559
her and now he's forcing her to disrobe with no

733
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:24.079
rhyme and no reason, and it evokes a fire in

734
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.760
me that I just cannot explain. You don't do that

735
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.800
to a kid. You don't do any of this to anyone,

736
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:33.519
but you don't do that to a kid. And then

737
00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.039
the man came into the room. She took off all

738
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:37.920
of her clothes and then he took them and he

739
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.400
stuffed them into a bag. And then, like something out

740
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.159
of a fucking movie like Home Alone comes to mind.

741
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:45.199
I'm not even kidding you. When the criminals, you know,

742
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:48.079
they tell Kevin everything about their evil plan as they're

743
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:50.440
walking through before they go to the steal from the

744
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:54.239
from the toy the toy store, just like in that movie.

745
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:58.519
The man then starts telling young Jamie like what he's

746
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.880
gonna do, and that there's gonna be no evidence found.

747
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:03.599
They're not gonna link anything he's doing to what's happening.

748
00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:06.920
He said he was gonna throw her clothes away, and

749
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.119
that there's gonna be no evidence. No one's gonna know

750
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.760
anything of my plan and what I'm gonna do. And

751
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:16.840
the confidence that this ass hat displayed with zero regard

752
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.960
for her well being is enough to drive me insane.

753
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.159
I'm not a psychologist, nor am I an expert in

754
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:26.760
the realm of the psyche. But to take away the

755
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:30.519
last thing that she has that's hers, her clothes, and

756
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:34.559
to toss them out without a care, it must have

757
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.480
just crushed her spirit. You know. It's the last thing

758
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:40.280
she had control over. And her poor mama and her

759
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:43.679
poor daddy remain in the same spot where he murdered them.

760
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.840
And now she's miles away in an unknown place with

761
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:50.280
an unknown man and certainly an unknown future, and now

762
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.360
he's stripped her of her clothing too. Now, he did

763
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:55.840
bring her another pair of clothing, which actually surprised me,

764
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:58.639
But he said, these are my sister's pajamas. And he

765
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.960
told her to put them on. She did have something

766
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:04.639
different to put on. With that respect, I'm not giving

767
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:08.599
him any respect. I'm just saying in that regard, he

768
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:10.679
then left the room and unbeknownst to Jamie, but I

769
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:13.159
will let you know, he took her clothes, the duct

770
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:15.159
tape that he'd cut off of her, and then the

771
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.400
gloves that he wore and he threw those into a

772
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:19.880
fireplace that he had in his basement in the house.

773
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.920
Any evidence that he could destroy, he was going to

774
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.159
do it, just like he told Jamie that he was

775
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.199
going to do. And to add to the bleak outlook

776
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.639
that this child was facing, the accommodations, if you want

777
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:33.840
to call it that, that she was provided while being

778
00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:37.800
held captive were less than desirable nor humane. Did she

779
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.320
have a room, no, a bed, no, a bathroom? No.

780
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:48.639
She would be introduced to his bedroom, which had a

781
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:52.079
bed that he had positioned tactically in the corner of

782
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:55.199
the room where a wall surrounded one side, and the

783
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.000
head of the bed and the foot and the outside

784
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.880
side edge of the bed were the only thing that

785
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.639
were open. And the room looked like she was in

786
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:07.920
like his mom's house or something. So why do I

787
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:09.679
say that because I was looking at some crime scene

788
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:12.800
photos which I'll put on Patreon. And the walls are

789
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:17.000
like this old, outdated wallpaper with green and cream vertical stripes.

790
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.360
They've got little small flowers and berries on them, like

791
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:22.039
peppered within the stripes. And the carpet looks like a

792
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:26.639
cheap multi colored blend of like greens and creams and whatever,

793
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.440
you know, just kind of old school. And she's kind

794
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.440
of like, is this going to be the room that

795
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:36.719
I stay in? Like? Is this my room? Well, sorta

796
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.079
what she would have though, as her room was limited

797
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:46.360
to the area under his bed, a twin sized bed

798
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:49.559
to be exact. He said, yeah, you're staying in here,

799
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:53.199
and then he pointed and ordered her under the bed,

800
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.800
and she complied, and he forced her to lie there

801
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:02.960
for days on end, with no idea of if it

802
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:04.760
would end, or when it would end, or if she

803
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.480
would ever be allowed out. She did have a pillow,

804
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:09.760
it had a leopard print case on it, and she

805
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:12.960
had a green blanket with like a cream underside to it,

806
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.280
but that was it. That was her living space. Eighty

807
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:21.000
eight days of lying under a bed on her back,

808
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:25.400
staring up and unable to move all day long, unless

809
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:29.000
summoned by the man that had taken her as a captive.

810
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:33.280
So who was this man? Jamie had no freaking clue.

811
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:36.400
She had never seen this guy in her life. So

812
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.639
what did he look like? Well, my answer to you

813
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:42.599
is not much. He certainly is not an attractive man

814
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.800
by any stretch of the imagination. He wears glasses and

815
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:49.440
their square with like this thin gold frame. She could

816
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:51.880
tell he was white, and he's in his twenties, but

817
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.280
clearly experiencing some premature balding the receding. He had brown hair,

818
00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:59.880
and the receding of his hair was on both sides

819
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.480
of like the temple area, and then he had this

820
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:05.440
thin island or strip of hair in the middle that

821
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:08.000
he was clinging to for dear life. All right, So

822
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:10.480
he didn't look like your typical twenty year old, but

823
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:12.519
she could tell that he was young. He stood about

824
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:16.000
five foot ten. He had this average build about him,

825
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:19.519
and he has kind of a weaker chin. Really, he

826
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.079
looks like a dork, and you would think he was

827
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.880
a dork if he hadn't been so violent, and she

828
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:28.000
hadn't experienced it. Definitely not someone you would look at

829
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.960
and think that they were capable of such levels of

830
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.159
violence and brutality if you were not there to eyewitness

831
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:38.440
this person doing it. Her captor though, if you're curious,

832
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:40.719
he wasn't going to stop living his best life as

833
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:42.880
she remained under his bed. Nope, that's not what he

834
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:44.599
was going to do. He still had a life to live.

835
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:48.559
He would invite people over, he would have people come visit,

836
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:52.559
like everything was normal. There was one thing though, when

837
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:55.079
all of this would go down, he would snarl in

838
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:57.559
young Jamie's face and warn her that if she made

839
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:01.119
a peep, if there was one sound that came from

840
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:04.800
that bedroom, she would face consequences that would make her

841
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:09.079
parents' demise look like child's play. So while his friends

842
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.320
and his family were there and visiting, she better remain

843
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.599
completely silent and not make a movement or else. And

844
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:19.800
he also made adjustments to her under the bed prison

845
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.840
by blocking it in where she couldn't see her get out.

846
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:26.239
He stacked totes and bins and blocked the openings of

847
00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:29.039
the bed, and then he reinforced those with weights think

848
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.719
things like you know, barbells and stuff like that, and

849
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.719
would reinforce the weight so that if she moved or

850
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.400
tried anything he would know and it would make noise,

851
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:39.079
but it was also really hard for her to do

852
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:43.280
because she's laying flat under a low twin bed. She

853
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.000
even told the police one time she accidentally moved one

854
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:48.239
of the totes when she was hiding like she was shimmying,

855
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:51.440
and she bumped it and he got pissed and he

856
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:53.800
was screaming at her for that. He started then to

857
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.880
make this adjustment that he would play music in his

858
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.039
room if anyone was there to doll out any sound,

859
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:01.079
and also to keep her from knowing what he was

860
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:03.159
up to when he was outside of the bedroom. But

861
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.079
this would be her life, day in and day out,

862
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.920
with little to no food, no water, and no bathroom breaks.

863
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.039
Now I know you're about to say, wait eighty eight days. Okay.

864
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:14.719
Obviously he did give her some sustenance, but it was

865
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:19.920
not what you should be giving a child. She was

866
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.840
also exposed to physical abuse anytime that he would be angered,

867
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:26.199
so he would beat her at a whim, even if

868
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:27.800
she was unsure why and didn't even know what she

869
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.599
had done. But no matter what, he made sure to

870
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:33.159
let her know was always her fault and he would

871
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:37.199
strike her with whatever he had, but specifically one thing

872
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:39.360
that he would hit her with, she said, was a

873
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:42.239
handle to something like a tool that you use to

874
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:44.920
like clean blinds or something like that. But it was

875
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.519
hard and he would hurt her. He would beat her

876
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:49.719
about the back and the back of the head, and

877
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:51.639
as he was beating the shit out over he would

878
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.000
remind her that, you know, every time you make me mad,

879
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:58.400
this punishment's going to get worse, so you keep on.

880
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.199
So she was basically beaten into submission, and fear was

881
00:49:03.239 --> 00:49:07.320
the insurance he used to keep her where he wanted her. Eventually,

882
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:12.320
he over the this eighty eight days, became really comfortable

883
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.280
with what he had done to this young girl and

884
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:18.239
felt good that her fear levels were so high that

885
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:20.280
he now knew he could leave the house and she

886
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.400
wasn't going to budge. She laid there just like she

887
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:26.280
was commanded to do so, under the bed and did

888
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.920
not move. So for example of the things that he

889
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.679
would do when you know she was there, or he

890
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:34.239
decided that he wanted to go out and she had

891
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:36.119
to hide, or whatever the reason would be. For starters,

892
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.400
his father would come over every Saturday. That was like

893
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.599
their custom or their routine. So if Jamie for some

894
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.360
reason had been let out from underneath the bed. She

895
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:48.760
knew she would have to go right underneath that bed.

896
00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:51.639
When that father came over, she couldn't make a sound,

897
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.559
and that he was going to turn music up even

898
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:55.559
would start turning up even louder when his dad was there,

899
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:57.159
just to make sure that they weren't alerted to the

900
00:49:57.199 --> 00:49:59.960
young girl that was kidnapped and stuffed under his bed.

901
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.079
So that's nice, he gets to see his dad, poor

902
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:08.920
mister James. Meanwhile, he'll never see his daughter again, nor

903
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.000
will he walk her down the aisle. He'll never see

904
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.159
his baby have her own kids. He'll never smell the

905
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:19.159
sweet smell of a newborn grandbaby. He'll get none of

906
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.360
that that was stolen from him. But at least this

907
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:26.599
captor gets to see his dad every Saturday. But another time,

908
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:30.559
this was weeks after Jamie was kidnapped. It was around

909
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:33.800
Christmas time. Well, this meant that the captor needed to

910
00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:37.840
go see his grandma, and so he decided he was

911
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.119
going to leave the house and scared the shit out

912
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:43.000
of Jamie underneath the bed. She knew not to move

913
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.599
or she was going to be beaten to death or abused,

914
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:48.719
and so he left, he went to superior. He was

915
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:53.519
gone for twelve hours, and y'all, he knew that this

916
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:55.760
was wrong to do. And the proof of that, if

917
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:58.039
there was ever ever a question, is that he told

918
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.639
Jamie she better not move from under the bed, and

919
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:03.039
if she had to use the bathroom, she better just

920
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.320
hold it. Don't you do a damn thing while I'm gone.

921
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:10.800
And she did not moving for twelve hours from under

922
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.400
the bed. And at that point, no food, no water,

923
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:17.920
no bathroom, just lying and waiting for something that just

924
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:22.920
wasn't gonna come. But that was until January tenth of

925
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:27.679
twenty nineteen eighty eight days later, the man told Jamie

926
00:51:27.719 --> 00:51:29.119
that he was leaving. He said, I'll be gone for

927
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.480
five or six hours, and you better not move. So

928
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:34.719
she got under the bed she was accustomed to doing,

929
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.079
and he surrounded her with the bins, and he topped

930
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.280
him off with the weights, and she listened as the

931
00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:43.280
door shut to the house, and then the car started

932
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:48.039
up and it drove away, and there she was alone

933
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:53.159
to lay there and ponder and think in her little

934
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:56.199
thirteen year old mind of what all was really going

935
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:59.079
on right now and what did she want out of

936
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:03.400
this lifetime? And did she deserve to be there, and

937
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:07.239
why was she there? And that she needed to take control.

938
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:11.320
You know, I don't know exactly what she was thinking,

939
00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:14.760
and I'm not claiming to know so, but I do

940
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.800
know thirteen year old girls, and I know that there's

941
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:20.519
a fire inside of a lot of them. And Jamie

942
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.239
had it. There's a fire inside of them. And she

943
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:27.719
decided enough was enough, and she laid there getting more

944
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.960
and more frustrated. She had been mistreated, she had been abused,

945
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:34.440
and she was done. She wanted to go home, and

946
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:36.519
that's what she was going to do. And that's when

947
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:42.000
that little girl took the incredibly courageous step of pushing

948
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:45.400
those boxes and those bins, of shoving those weights. She

949
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:47.639
pushed with all of her might. She was able to

950
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:50.559
pick a gap underneath that bed, and she crawled out,

951
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:54.280
completely unaware what lay ahead of her, but willing to

952
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:56.400
take the risk. A young girl who had seen her

953
00:52:56.440 --> 00:53:00.000
parents murdered, who had been kidnapped, who had been abused

954
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:03.599
for all this time, was willing to take that risk

955
00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:06.199
because she was a fighter, and she missed her family,

956
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:08.679
and she wanted to go home. She wanted to go

957
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:12.599
home more than any punishment. That she may endure by

958
00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:16.159
trying to do so. And she made her way through

959
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:19.480
the home. She never saw her captor, and she made

960
00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:21.760
her way to the door, and she took her chance,

961
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:24.400
and she ran, and she ran as best as she

962
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:26.800
could to the road, and that's where she ran into

963
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:30.360
that first person she saw, which was Miss Jeanie Nutter. Who, y'all,

964
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:32.360
I don't know if you believe in God, I don't

965
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.679
know if you believe in any higher power, but listen

966
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:38.440
to this. Jeanie Nutter just happened to be late walking

967
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:40.840
her dog that day. She would have not normally been

968
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:46.280
out at that time. Jeanie Nutter is also a social worker.

969
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:49.679
Of everyone that could have seen that little girl, it

970
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:51.960
was a social worker. And the people who work that

971
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.320
job don't get the praise they deserve, but they are

972
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:57.559
involved in cases such as this all the time. She

973
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:01.079
was the perfect person to find Jamie and I don't

974
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:05.960
believe in coincidences. Within minutes of being together and being

975
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.159
realized that who the child was, they were at the

976
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.440
neighbor's house and they were on the phone with nine

977
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:13.679
one one, and that's when she said her captor's name

978
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:16.679
for the first time. She had learned it the whole

979
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:19.320
time that during her captivity, the operator said, do you

980
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:21.880
know who took her? And that's when she shouted the words.

981
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:26.000
His name is Jake Patterson. He killed my parents. He

982
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:28.840
doesn't work, he's unemployed. He's gone from the house. I

983
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:33.679
know that he was in the military. Please hurry. It

984
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:36.320
would turn out that she broke away, y'all at the

985
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:41.039
perfect time. Again, I don't believe in coincidences. At the

986
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:44.480
perfect time, because at the same time the call was

987
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:47.960
being made to nine one one, Jake Patterson, the murderer

988
00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:53.760
and the kidnapper, was returning to his house. He had

989
00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:55.880
pulled up while they were on the phone with nine

990
00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.440
one one, and he went inside and that's when he

991
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.760
checked on his prisoner, which gave him the shock of

992
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:04.440
a lifetime, because that tiny little girl was gone. So

993
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:06.920
he ran around his house searching for her. He couldn't

994
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.079
find her. He started freaking out. He went outside, and

995
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.960
that's where he noticed her footprints in the snow, proof

996
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.239
that he may have thought he had total control, but

997
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:20.880
that little girl had news for him. She was gone.

998
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.199
So he ran and he jumped at his car and

999
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:25.599
he slowly started driving around looking for her. Because he

1000
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:27.320
thought she's got to be close and I can grab

1001
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:29.800
her back. So he drove around for a few minutes,

1002
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:32.320
but he just couldn't locate her, and so that's whenever

1003
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:34.599
he decided to go back home to create a new plan.

1004
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:38.159
But unfortunately for him, Jamie was already with the police

1005
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:43.239
and could point remember that cabin next to Genies. Jamie

1006
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:45.559
could point to where she had been held captive the

1007
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:49.480
whole time, and she also used her memory. She remembered

1008
00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:53.559
that vehicle and she described it to police, and within

1009
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:58.960
eleven minutes of receiving his name and the vehicle description,

1010
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:03.639
police located him driving past his home. And I'm assuming

1011
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:06.079
he saw the police activity and so obviously was not

1012
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.079
going to stop at his house, and so he was

1013
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.400
driving right past his own house when an officer pulled

1014
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.559
behind him and followed him and then pulled him right

1015
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:17.920
over during in a traffic stop, right past his driveway.

1016
00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:20.239
So the officer orders him to get out of the vehicle,

1017
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.960
and much to his chagrin, Jake realized that it was

1018
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:26.639
over before it even started. So as he stepped out

1019
00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.239
of the car, he looked at the cop with confidence

1020
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:31.320
and said, I know what this is about. And I

1021
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:35.480
did it, and he was promptly placed under arrest, and

1022
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.559
he would be charged with the armed burglary and two

1023
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:44.920
counts of first degree intentional homicide and kidnapping in this case. Now,

1024
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.800
something I know you have questions about is what all

1025
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:52.000
happened to her in those eighty eight days of captivity.

1026
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.960
And this is one of those times where no charges

1027
00:56:55.039 --> 00:56:58.280
were filed in relation to the things that happened during

1028
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:01.360
Jamie's captivity. But I want to tell you that I

1029
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:06.159
think this was completely strategic. If those charges would have

1030
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:09.280
been filed, then that information would have become public, and

1031
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:12.639
so in an effort to maintain some privacy about what

1032
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:17.320
she endured. I completely understand this decision, the charges that

1033
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:19.960
he received. Should he be convicted, he's gone for the

1034
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:24.199
rest of his life anyway. I know also that we

1035
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:26.360
as a society know better than to think that he

1036
00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:29.159
just took her and kept her under his bed. Okay,

1037
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:32.039
he had a motive, and I'm sure she endured things

1038
00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:35.280
no innocent child should ever be subjected to by a

1039
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:39.679
grown man, considering he wrote. He wrote on a piece

1040
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.440
of paper later on that he fantasized about keeping a

1041
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:48.039
young girl, torturing her and controlling her if you want

1042
00:57:48.039 --> 00:57:51.119
to get into his mindset. So considering the facts of

1043
00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:55.119
the unknown in this regard, it shows just how powerful

1044
00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:59.000
and strong that little Jamie is because Jake Patterson could

1045
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:00.679
have done a lot of things to her, but he

1046
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:04.039
couldn't take away her will to survive. So a little

1047
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:06.880
bit more about this piece of shit that killed Jamie's

1048
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.880
parents and kidnapped her for his own use. It turns

1049
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:12.519
out that he was twenty one years old with zero

1050
00:58:12.880 --> 00:58:17.079
criminal record, which I found pretty interesting zero criminal record.

1051
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:22.639
Not all evil people start small. Some evil people jump

1052
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:26.480
in feet first. He had graduated high school, but he

1053
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:28.559
didn't really go anywhere after high school. He was kind

1054
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:30.760
of a bump on a log. And he did join

1055
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:33.119
the Marine Corps. Remember Jamie said that he had been

1056
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:35.360
in the military. But I will not disgrace the military

1057
00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:37.119
by tying this dude's name to it, because even the

1058
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:39.519
Marine Corps was like boy, kick bricks, because after only

1059
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:41.760
five weeks of boot camp, they were like, you gotta go,

1060
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:45.199
and they sent him pack him. He's not marine material,

1061
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:48.559
sim provide to the real Marines out there. People who

1062
00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:52.400
knew him described him as quiet and he was usually

1063
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.880
alone and that he never could keep a job long

1064
00:58:56.199 --> 00:58:59.079
and he had recently been working at the Supudo cheese

1065
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:04.199
factory solid two days before up and quitting. Now there's

1066
00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:07.280
a reason that I told you he had no prior

1067
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:10.480
criminal record, and there's a reason that I told you

1068
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:16.760
how quiet and unassuming he was, because all of that,

1069
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:19.280
combined with the two days that he worked at the

1070
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.360
cheese factory, are going to be super important to this case.

1071
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:27.280
How do cases like this happen? How do kidnappers pick

1072
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:31.079
their victims? What lengths do they go to to steal

1073
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:35.360
our children? This case is already pretty scary, okay, but

1074
00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:37.360
I want you to know how much planning he did

1075
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:41.480
to get her. It's flat out unnerving what this dude did,

1076
00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:44.320
so I want to share it with you. He worked

1077
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:47.800
at that cheese factory for two days and then didn't

1078
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:52.440
show back up. Why because during the morning the two

1079
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:56.440
mornings that he drove to work, he happened to be

1080
00:59:56.440 --> 01:00:02.320
behind a school bus on Highway eight. The school bus

1081
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:05.320
stopped and was picking up kids on its route, and

1082
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:08.800
he was behind the bus both days, and he watched

1083
01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:13.840
Jamie get picked up both times. He didn't know her,

1084
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:15.800
He didn't know how many people lived at her house,

1085
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:18.840
but he didn't care. Once he laid eyes on her,

1086
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:22.320
he knew she was the little girl that he was

1087
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:24.400
going to take and he was going to do whatever

1088
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:29.440
was necessary to take her and own her. So after

1089
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:33.039
seeing Jamie load that bus that second morning, he instantly

1090
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:36.599
began making plans. First, he went and he bought a

1091
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:38.960
black mask from Walmart. He wanted to make sure that

1092
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.280
no one saw his face during the kidnapping. He also

1093
01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:47.679
drove by their house multiple times prior to the date

1094
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:51.239
that he actually took her. Y'all, for a week and

1095
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:56.760
a half, he stalked Jamie and no one had a

1096
01:00:56.880 --> 01:01:01.519
clue that they were being watched. He even went on

1097
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:04.800
a first attempt to get her, but his first attempt

1098
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:08.480
never panned out because when he pulled up, he noticed

1099
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.079
that there were more cars than usual there and there

1100
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:13.800
were people walking about in the house. So he decided

1101
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:17.079
not to attack that night. He wanted a surprise attack

1102
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.039
that would be better than having any warning. And just

1103
01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:22.760
for the record, he doesn't strike me as a very

1104
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.960
manly man in any way, shape or form, and it

1105
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.440
was strategic for him not to have anyone up and

1106
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:29.599
ready to fight because he probably would have got his

1107
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:34.800
ass beat aka he's a friggin coward. He also used

1108
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:38.280
that time to make more changes to his plan so

1109
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.119
that he had better chances of getting away with it.

1110
01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:43.000
This included stealing a license plate off of a car

1111
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.360
that was parked in its yard of a home that

1112
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:48.840
was nearby, so that if he got stopped or if

1113
01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:52.079
he got spotted, it wouldn't trace back to his real identity.

1114
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.440
He also went home and he disconnected the dome light

1115
01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:58.280
in his car so it wouldn't illuminate him when he

1116
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.840
was entering and exiting his car, which by the way,

1117
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:04.440
matched the exact description to a t that Jamie gave

1118
01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:08.239
the police. He also removed his trunk light. His trunk

1119
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:10.519
had one of those glow in the dark kidnap anti

1120
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:12.800
kidnapping cords, you know what I'm talking about, because of

1121
01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:15.079
shit like this that happens. He had one of those

1122
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:18.079
in his trunk. He went and he disconnected it so

1123
01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:20.440
that the child he was going to take could not

1124
01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:24.880
release it once he stuffed her into it. Then he

1125
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.159
went to the extent of doing extensive research on what

1126
01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:30.119
type of weapon or gun that he was going to

1127
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:32.639
use during the kidnapping. And he set it on taking

1128
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:35.840
his father's twelve gage pump action shotgun. It was a

1129
01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:39.599
Mosburg Why because it was a heavily manufactured and a

1130
01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:42.800
heavily owned gun, and so in his mind that would

1131
01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:45.039
make it harder to pin on him or harder to trace,

1132
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:49.599
because everybody's got one. He also chose it because he

1133
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:52.159
found that it would do the most damage and it

1134
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:56.119
would easily kill people, versus bringing a rifle proof that

1135
01:02:56.199 --> 01:03:00.119
he had planned to kill anyone that got in his way.

1136
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:02.679
He also went to the extreme of wiping down the

1137
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:04.599
shelves before he put him in the gun. He wore

1138
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:06.400
gloves to do so because he didn't want to leave

1139
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:09.480
any DNA or a fingerprint. Y'all. He's doing all of

1140
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.159
this while these unsuspecting people are at home, just living

1141
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:16.320
their life, and he's putting all of this evil into

1142
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:19.480
play so that he can take someone that's young and

1143
01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:23.159
own them and torture them and abuse them. And then

1144
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:25.840
his last decision was that he decided to shave his

1145
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:29.599
head and to shave his face and then his body

1146
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:32.760
everything to shower as well the night of the kidnapping,

1147
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:35.079
because he didn't want to leave any hair or any

1148
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:38.800
DNA at the scene. He then doubled up his gloves

1149
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:42.239
that he wore as well, because in the event that

1150
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:44.800
his outer gloves were pulled off for damage, he would

1151
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:48.199
have a second pair underneath. That means that this man

1152
01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:51.719
worked at this He worked to ensure that there were

1153
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:54.519
no eyewitnesses and that he got away with this girl

1154
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:56.880
he wanted as his personal toy. And I can't get

1155
01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:01.199
past that. But unfortunately for him, the child he happened

1156
01:04:01.239 --> 01:04:03.880
to choose was a fighter, and no matter what she faced,

1157
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:09.639
she persevered. When the police got her into their custody

1158
01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:13.199
and she was safe, she was welcomed home to the

1159
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:16.760
loving arms of her aunt, Jennifer, who was shocked beyond

1160
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:19.719
belief to find that her niece was alive. She couldn't

1161
01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:24.119
believe it. Y'all know, I take these cases personal when

1162
01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:26.039
I tell these stories, and I want these victims to

1163
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:27.760
not only be known, but I want them to be

1164
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:31.119
celebrated for the people that they are and the victims

1165
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:35.239
that they were. And so I looked up Denise's Jamie's

1166
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:39.199
mama's Facebook and on Denise's last birthday post to her

1167
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.840
daughter on Facebook, she wrote this is a direct quote

1168
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.559
happy birthday to my daughter, who is growing up to

1169
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.679
be the sweetest and most kind hearted girl. I love

1170
01:04:47.679 --> 01:04:49.519
you to the moon and back. I hope you have

1171
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:55.039
the best day ever. And I just that was the

1172
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:58.840
lasting words to me from a mama who loved her girl.

1173
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.360
She had no clue out how strong her girl was either.

1174
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:04.719
I bet you she raised the hell of a girl.

1175
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:08.119
Jamie did spend the first night out of captivity at

1176
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:10.519
the hospital before she was released to her family, and

1177
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:13.519
her grandpa Rod was the very first one to see her,

1178
01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:16.239
and the old man's eyes welled up with tears as

1179
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:19.440
he wrapped her up in a bear hug. And that

1180
01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:22.480
struck me too. The last thing she ever felt of

1181
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:25.320
her mama was a bear hug, and the first thing

1182
01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:27.679
she felt when she was returned to her family was

1183
01:05:27.679 --> 01:05:29.920
a bear hug. And I found just peace in that

1184
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:33.480
whenever I learned it. So how's Jamie, I'm glad you asked.

1185
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.440
Jamie is being raised by her aunt Jennifer and her

1186
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:39.519
uncle Bob, and her aunt said, I'll never take her

1187
01:05:39.519 --> 01:05:43.039
mom's place. Her mom will always be her mom, and

1188
01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:45.639
I'll let her know that I am her aunt, but

1189
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:47.760
I'll be a mom to her too, and I just

1190
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:52.639
I think that's absolutely beautiful. Today, Jamie's thriving, she continues

1191
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:55.280
to do well. I did do some sleuthing and it

1192
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:58.239
looks like she graduated from high school. And from what

1193
01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:02.119
I saw, she has mature into such a wholesome and

1194
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:07.000
lovely young lady. And everything I saw too picture why

1195
01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:09.639
she is encapsulated with love by her aunt and by

1196
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:12.360
her family. I'm sure that day to day she navigates

1197
01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.119
the ebbs and flows of the grieving process, but always

1198
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:19.000
with her steadfast family by her side. Well as for

1199
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:22.679
Jake Patterson, though he's not having as much fun. He

1200
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:25.920
was sentenced to two life sentences for murdering Jamie's parents,

1201
01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:28.719
as well as an additional twenty five years for her kidnapping.

1202
01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:32.400
And he didn't just go to jail and like hide away. No,

1203
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:37.119
he's actually been reportedly to be in fights with other inmates.

1204
01:06:37.360 --> 01:06:40.079
And these inmates I found were fighting him in the

1205
01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:43.599
New Mexico prison. So I was curious this happened in Wisconsin.

1206
01:06:44.039 --> 01:06:46.320
Why was he moved to New Mexico. Well, it turns

1207
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.599
out he had to be moved for his safety because

1208
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:53.480
the real g's are going to handle him. Okay, they

1209
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:55.880
had to move him for his safety, which I call

1210
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:59.480
bullshit because his victims didn't get that luxury. But whatever,

1211
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.159
I understand, and we got a constitution uphold. According to

1212
01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:07.920
the New Mexico Corrections Department, two inmates also approached Patterson

1213
01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:10.960
and told him to leave their pod because of his

1214
01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:15.119
case involving a fourteen year old girl. Y'all know there's

1215
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:18.440
a code in prison, and you'll leave the kids alone.

1216
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.559
I guess he's having a hard time making friends, poor

1217
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:25.320
fellas having a fight with everyone behind bars. But the

1218
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.480
truth is that, you know, revenge is never something that

1219
01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:31.039
we should seek. But I am willing to take a

1220
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:33.079
front row seat to the prison karmas mackdown.
