A psychologist wrote his partner's dementia diagnosis sixteen months before reporting him missing · Why Humans Lie

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: On a Tuesday morning in December of twenty nineteen, a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: dog groomer named Rebecca Morgan was walking her standard Poodle
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: along the Crestfall Nature Trail when the dog pulled hard
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: off the twelve path forty feet into the brush. Wedged
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: between the roots of a fallen pine, sat a canvas
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: tote bag. Inside it was a man's wallet, driver's license,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: credit cards, forty three dollars in cash. Beside the wallet,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sealed in a freezer back, was a psychiatric evaluation. The
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: document described as sixty two year old man in cognitive decline.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It was signed by a licensed clinical psychologist. That psychologist
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was the missing man's own husband. Randy Simmons had been
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: gone eleven days, his wallet was in the woods, his
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: diagnosis was in the woods, and the man who signed
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that diagnosis was the one who had report warted him missing.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: What followed was not a search for a body. It
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was a search for the truth about what had been
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: done to a man who was still alive, and how
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: completely one person can dismantle another sense of reality before
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: any one outside the house notices a thing. Randy Simmons
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: spent twenty eight years as a civil engineering supervisor for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Clearfield County Public Works. He was the kind of man
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: who knew every colfort and drainage grade in his jurisdiction
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: by memory. Colleagues described him as methodical and steady. He
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: retired with a full pension and moved into a house
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on Granger Lane in Delton, where he planted a vegetable
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: garden in the back yard and started taking water color
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: classes on Wednesday evenings. He had a daughter, Jenna, who
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: lived in Columbus. He had a sister, Patricia, on the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: coast of South Carolina. He called both of them regularly.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: He was, by every account from the people who knew him,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a man who showed up. Thursday nights were game night.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Howard Pruett, Gail Tanner, Craig Ellison, and Craig's brother Denis
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: had been meeting at rotating houses for years. Randy never
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: missed without calling ahead. He always brought something chips, a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: six pack once, a pie he'd made from scratch. Gaile
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Tanner would later tell investigators that Randy was the one
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: who kept the group's calendar. He was not a man
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: who forgot things. In the spring of two thousand seventeen,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Randy met Leon Owens Leon was fifty one, a licensed
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: clinical psychologist with an office suite on Commerce Boulevard. He
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was articulate, well read, and, by Randy's own later description,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: immediately attentive in a way Randy had not experienced before.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: They became exclusive by August of two thousand seventeen. By
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: January of two thousand eighteen, Leon had moved into the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: house on Granger. Laney's friends noticed the shift gradually, Game
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: nights became irregular. Randy started declining invitations with explanations that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: sounded like Leon's phrasing more than his own. Patricia would
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: say later that her brother's calls became shorter. He seemed,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: she said, careful, as if he were choosing words he
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't used to choosing. None of them had a language
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for what they were watching. They called it the relationship
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: pulling him inward. They assumed it would balance out. It didn't.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: By autumn of twenty eighteen, Randy had stopped attending game
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: night entirely. By early twenty nineteen, the watercolor class was over. Jenna,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: calling from Columbus, started keeping a private log of the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: conversations that felt off, Moments where Randy couldn't place a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: recent memory, or deferred to Leon mid sentence on a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: question about his own health. What none of them knew
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was that a clinical document already existed, a document bearing
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a Psychaea patric Practice's letterhead, signed by Leon Owens, describing
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Randy Simmons as a man in early stage cognitive decline.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: The metadata on that file would later show it was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: created in March of twenty eighteen, the same month Leon
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: finished uncocking his things on Granger Lane. The diagnosis was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: written before anyone in Randy's life had noticed a single symptom,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: before any of Jenna's logged calls, before Patricia's first uneasy
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: pause on the phone. Sixteen months before Leon reported Randy missing,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he had already put the disease on paper. Randy Simmons
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: did not disappear the way missing persons cases usually begin
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: with a slam door or an empty driveway or a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: last known photograph. He disappeared in increments across two years,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: inside the walls of his own home. By the time
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Leon Owens filed the missing person's report on November twenty third,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Randy had all ready been gone in every
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: practical sense that mattered. What investigators had initially was a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tote bag. Rebecca Morgan, a dog groomer, who walked the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Crestfall nature trail on the morning of December third, twenty nineteen,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: did not intend to find anything. Her dog pulled her
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: off the marked path into the brush toward the base
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of a fallen pine. The bag was wedged between exposed roots.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It bore the logo of an Indianapolis mental health conference
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: held in October of that year, a conference leon Owens
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: had attended and for which he had registered under his
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: professional credentials. Inside the bag, sealed in separate ziploc bags,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: were two things. The first was Randy's leather wallet, credit cards,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: intact driver's license, forty three dollars in cash. The second
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was a clinical summary on psychiatric practice letterhead signed by
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: doctor leon Owens, dated November fourteenth, two thousand nineteen. It
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: described Randy Simmons as presenting with early stage cognitive decline, disorientation,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: memory deficits, impaired executive function. The kind of document that,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: if accepted by a court, could transfer legal authority over
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a man's decisions to some one else. The man who
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: wrote the document was also the man who had reported
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that man missing that contradiction was the first thing investigator
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Michel Barnes noted when the bag reached her. The second
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: thing she noted was the date November fourteenth, two thousand nineteen.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: A forensic examination of the file's metadata told a different story.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: The document had not been created on November fourteenth. It
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: had been created in March of two thousand eighteen. Some
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: one had modified the date stamp. The psychiatric practice named
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on the letterhead had no intake record for Randy Simmons,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: no referral, no billing history, no appointment. Ever, what Barnes
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was holding was not a clinical assessment. It was a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: prop and it had been in preparation for nineteen months.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Here is what that timeline actually looked like, laid against
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the life Randy Simmons was living in March of twenty eighteen.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Leon finished moving his belongings into the Granger Lane house
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that same month. According to file metadata, he created the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: first fabricated clinical summary. Randy's friends at that point had
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not yet noticed anything unusual. Jenna hadn't started her log,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Patricia hadn't paused on the phone. Six months later, in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: September of two thousand eighteen, Randy signed a form changing
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the beneficiary on his four hundred thousand dollars term life
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: insurance policy. He removed his daughter Jenna, he added Leon.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The signing took place in a notaries office. Susan Gable,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the notary worked in the same building is Leon's practice
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on Commerce Boulevard. She would tell investigators during interviews conducted
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: between December fifth and seventh, that Randy had seemed quiet
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that day. Still, she remembered Leon standing slightly behind Randy's
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: chair during the signing, not beside him, not across the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: table behind him. Randy later told investigators he did not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: fully understand what he had signed. His signature is on
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the document. He does not dispute that. What he disputes
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is the context in which he signed it. What he
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: believed the form was, what he had been told about
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it in the days before. The second thing Barnes found
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in Leon's car trunk extended that picture considerably. A locked
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: box in the trunk contained eighteen months of Randy's financial records, photographed,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: organized and filed account statements, investment summaries, property documents. The
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: collection spanned from early twenty eighteen through autumn of two
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. Leon had not asked Randy for access to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: these records. There was no shared finances arrangement documented between them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: The photographs existed because some one had taken them quietly
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: without announcing why. Beside the locked box was a draft
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: guardianship petitioned unfiled ready, and beside that a second fabricated
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: clinical summary, separate from the one found in the tote back,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: detailing further deterioration in Randy's condition. The architecture, once visible,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was unmistakable. The document created the diagnosis. The diagnosis justified
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the guardianship. The guardianship would have transferred control of Randy's assets, decisions,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and legal standing to Leon Owens. The four hundred thousand
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: dollars insurance policy sat at the end of that chain,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: with Leon's name already on it. The question Barnes returned too,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was the tote bag itself If the plan was guardianship
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a legal process requiring Randy to be present, evaluated, and adjudicated,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: why stage a disappearance. A missing man does not sign
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a petition. A missing man complicates rather than advances. The
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: paperwork in Leon's trunk picture the side door on the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: north face of the Granger Lane house neighbors described it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: as a door that had never been used, swollen in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: its frame, stiff from years of disuse. When investigators examined
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it after Randy was found, it opened smoothly from the outside.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: The hinges had been recently lubricated, the latch had been adjusted,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: so the mechanism no longer caught. Pat Crowell, who shared
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a back fence with the Granger Lane property, told investigators
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he had seen an unknown man enter through that door
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: twice in November, once in the second week of the month,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: once closer to the end. Leon's phone records placed him
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: at an evening client session during those windows. No sessions
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: appeared on his calendar for those evenings. Cell tower data
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: instead showed his phone pinging the Millhaven Commons era, the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: neighborhood where Randy was eventually found seven blocks from home.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: On the morning of December third, four evenings, four pings,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: no clients. Randy was found wandering near the Millhaven Commons entrance,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: disoriented and without his wallet. His wallet was forty feet
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: off a nature trail, sealed in a bag inside a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: conference tote belonging to his husband. Leon's e mail records
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: confirmed he had subscribed to the Millhaven Commons Homeowners Association
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: newsletter and by extension, knew about the newly routed Crestfall trail.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So the question shifts not whether Leon placed the bag.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The evidence points in one direction on that the question
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that investigators could never fully answer that Leon's own proffer
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: never fully resolved, was what the bag was meant to accomplish.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: One version, the missing person report and the tote bag
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: were meant to establish Randy as a wandering, disoriented man
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: who couldn't be trusted with his own affairs. Barnes documented
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that scenario. It fits the guardianship paperwork. A man found wandering,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a clinical history already on file, a petition ready to submit.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That is a coherent sequence, but it collapses against one detail,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the wallet. A man staging cognitive decline for legal purposes
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: needs Randy found alive and evaluable. He does not need
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Randy's wallet hidden in the woods. A wallet in the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: woods suggests Randy was not meant to return with any
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: record of where he had been. It suggests the plan
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: may not have required Randy's participation in the next step
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: at all. The guardians for petition was never filed. What
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Leon intended to file or when or what would have
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: changed had Randy not been found. None of that was
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: confirmed in the proffer. What the proffer confirmed was the documents,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the financial records, the insurance form, and the pattern. The
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: pattern it turned out at a prior address. A net
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Fowler was forty four years old when she contacted the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Clearfield County Sheriff's office three weeks after Leon's arrest. She
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was calling from a Portland, Oregon forwarding address. In two
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: thousand twelve, seven years before Randy disappeared, Fowler had been
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in a relationship with Leon Owens. Over the following months,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: approximately sixty thousand dollars moved out of her accounts in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: transactions she could not account for. She had never reported
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it for years, She said she had believed the instability
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was herbs. At Leon's sentencing, a net Fowler testified. She
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: told the court that she had spent a long time
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: wondering whether her own judgment could be trusted, whether the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: confusion she felt during that period was real or some
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: thing she had constructed. Leon, she said, had been the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: person she turned to with those questions. He was, after all,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the psychologist. Annette Fowler's testimony did something the physical evidence
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: alone could not do. It gave the jury a before
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a version of leon Owens that existed before Randy, before
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Granger Lane, before the canvas tote bag. The Clearfield County
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor had the documents, the metadata, the cell tower pins,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the lubricated side door. What Fowler gave them was a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: pattern with a time stamp that predated everything else by
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: seven years. The Clearfield County Superior Court sentenced Leon Owens
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to eleven years in September of twenty twenty parole eligibility
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: after seven four felony charges insurance beneficiary fraud, financial account manipulation,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and two counts related to fabricated clinical documentation. The insurance
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: policy four hundred thousand dollars, with Jenna Simmons removed as
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: beneficiary and Leon named in her place, was voided as
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: part of the legal proceedings. Leon had cooperated through a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: profferer on December fourteenth, twenty nineteen, five days after his
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: arrest at the Commerce Boulevard office. What the proffer established
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the documents were fabricated. The financial records in the trunk
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: had been photographed systematically over eighteen months. The insurance form
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: was real. The plan as far as the record shows
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was real. What the proffer did not establish. What remains
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: unconfirmed is what Leon intended to happen to Randy after
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the disappearance. The guardianship petition was never filed. The bag
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was in the woods, the wallet was with the bag.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Those two facts sit beside each other in the record
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: without a bridge that anyone has publicly confirmed. Randy Simmons
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was sixty two years old when he was found wandering
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: near the Millhaven Commons entrance on December three third, twenty nineteen,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: seven blocks from his own home, eleven days after Leon
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: reported him missing. He had spent twenty eight years as
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a civil engineering supervisor for Clearfield County Public Works. He
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: knew that neighborhood, he had walked those streets, and he
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: had spent roughly eighteen months being told by the person
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: who slept beside him that his mind was leaving him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Investigator Michelle Barnes later documented what she called the architecture
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of the false self concept. Randy had never been evaluated
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: by any physician other than Leon during the period Leon
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: described as cognitive decline. No referral existed, no intake appointment,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: no billing record from the practice named on the fabricated letterhead.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: What existed was Leon's voice in Randy's ear for a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: year and a half, describing a version of Randy that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was disappearing. Barnes wrote that Randy had absorbed the diagnosis
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: before the paperwork was ever created. The disease had been
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: built inside his self concept first. The document came later
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a formality to confirm what Randy already half believed about himself.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: That is the detail that resists a clean legal resolution.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The four charges addressed the paper trail, the insurance for
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the financial manipulation, the fabricated documents. What they do not address,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: what no charge can fully address, is the eighteen months
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Randy spent doubting his own memory, his own perception, his
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: own reliability as a witness to his own life. He
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: stopped going to game night, He stopped attending watercolor class.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: He withdrew from the people who would have known him
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: well enough to notice the difference between forgetting and being
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: told he was forgetting. Howard Pruett, Gail Tanner Craig, and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Dennis Ellison had not seen Randy for over a year
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: before he disappeared. His daughter Jenna had been removed from
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: his insurance policy without understanding why. His sister Patricia had
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: received a phone call in June of twenty eighteen in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: which Leon used the phrase early cognitive changes twice. Patricia
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: said later that she had believed him he was, after
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: all the psychologist. Randy returned to Granger Lane in January
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. In March of twenty twenty, he resumed
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Thursday game night. The canvas tote bag with the Indianapolis
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Conference logo remains in the clear Field County evidence locker.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: There is a question this case leaves open that the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: sentencing did not close. Not about guilt, the record is
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: clear on that, but about the mechanism about how a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: person sits across from someone they trust, someone trained to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: understand human cognition, and slowly begins to see themselves the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: way that person describes them. Randy Simmons did not have dementia.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Every piece of evidence can affirms that. But for eighteen
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: months he lived inside a story about himself that someone
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: else had written. He signed a form he says he
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: did not fully understand. He stopped calling his friends, He
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: withdrew from the people who might have reflected a different
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: version of him back, and he did all of that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: without knowing a document dated March of twenty eighteen already existed,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a document that said his decline had begun. Leon Owens
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: held a license granted on the premise that he understood
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: how mine's work. He used that understanding not to help,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: but to construct. The fabricated clinical summary was not just fraud.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It was a map of someone's inner life, written by
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the person best positioned to make that map feel true.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Annette Fowler spent years believing the confusion she felt during
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: her relationship with Leon was hers, her own instability, her
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: own unreliable perception. She contacted the Sheriff's off three weeks
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: after Leon's arrest, calling from a Portland forwarding address, carrying
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a story she had never reported. At sentencing, she told
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the court she had spent a long time wondering whether
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: her own judgment could be trusted. The man she had
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: turned to with that question had been the one dismantling
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: her certainty in the first place. Two people, seven years apart,
• 20:24
