Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When a child is killed, the parents are usually mortified,
- 0:03Speaker 1: creating some of the saddest moments in the interrogation room.
- 0:06Speaker 1: But what happens when instead it's a child's own parents
- 0:10Speaker 1: who are the secret killers?
- 0:12Speaker 2: Be? Did you tell me gotta begad?
- 0:15Speaker 1: Here are four examples of killer parents who did the
- 0:18Speaker 1: unthinkable and got caught red handed, Starting with the mother
- 0:21Speaker 1: who got so high she ended up with her daughter's
- 0:23Speaker 1: blood on her hands. This is the aftermath of a
- 0:25Speaker 1: tragic incident that left a child dead. When officers arrived
- 0:28Speaker 1: on the scene, they were met by the distraught driver. However,
- 0:31Speaker 1: they quickly discovered there was something much more sinister at play.
- 0:35Speaker 2: She's in hild or not the car.
- 0:41Speaker 3: The back Lifeless.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Chasity was driving eastbound on Jasper Road in Newton Township,
- 0:46Speaker 1: Pike County, Ohio, and in the car with her were
- 0:49Speaker 1: her two daughters, aged seven and five years old. She
- 0:52Speaker 1: tries to explain what happened in the lead up to
- 0:54Speaker 1: the crash.
- 0:55Speaker 4: So where were you coming from today? The right now
- 0:56Speaker 4: before the craft? Where you were come from when you
- 0:59Speaker 4: were driving on the road? Where did you leave from?
- 1:01Speaker 2: You left your house? Where were you going? Christie's in
- 1:06Speaker 2: the sword. Yeah, okay, okay, what happened with the crash?
- 1:11Speaker 2: Do you remember it at all? I dan a little bit,
- 1:14Speaker 2: the girl to.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Just in that split second she lost control of the vehicle,
- 1:22Speaker 1: with the official press release saying that she drove off
- 1:25Speaker 1: the left side of the roadway, ramping over a driveway,
- 1:28Speaker 1: striking a utility pole and a tree before coming to
- 1:31Speaker 1: a final rest in the field. And it turns out
- 1:34Speaker 1: her seven year old daughter wasn't wearing a seat belt,
- 1:37Speaker 1: which is required for anyone in a moving vehicle. Although
- 1:40Speaker 1: her five year old daughter survived unharmed, her seven year
- 1:43Speaker 1: old suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. But
- 1:46Speaker 1: it wasn't just a lack of care that caused the
- 1:48Speaker 1: crash itself. And as you can see, Chastity's behavior tells
- 1:51Speaker 1: the officer she is under the influence and a danger
- 1:54Speaker 1: behind the wheel.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So you haven't used meth since yesterday? Then right right
- 2:00Speaker 2: to sleep? To fill that night every night, everybody, Well,
- 2:05Speaker 2: I'm going to run.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Through a few field sobriety tests here, okay, we won't
- 2:09Speaker 4: check your eyes first, usually horizontal daze.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Chastity had a history of drug abuse, and if she
- 2:15Speaker 1: was high at the time she crashed, then she would
- 2:17Speaker 1: be facing some serious criminal charges. Field sobriety tests can
- 2:21Speaker 1: be hard when you're sober, but when you're drunk they're
- 2:23Speaker 1: a nightmare. While conducting this test, the officer noticed something
- 2:26Speaker 1: about the suspects that needed explaining.
- 2:29Speaker 2: How do you ingest your pills and your meth? Are
- 2:32Speaker 2: you taken to your sword them?
- 2:33Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 2:33Speaker 2: Okay? How do you How do you explain having zero
- 2:36Speaker 2: nasal hair in your nose? Years ago?
- 2:40Speaker 6: Calling one years.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Ago xanax or something?
- 2:44Speaker 3: Okay?
- 2:44Speaker 2: How long have those have been since you've done that?
- 2:47Speaker 4: Last five days? Since you did that last okay? Have
- 2:50Speaker 4: you smoked any marijuana or anything like that today?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Xen X is popular with those who suffer from anxiety
- 2:56Speaker 1: and depression, but it also is popular with deserts snort
- 3:00Speaker 1: it for a quicker high. One side effect of snorting
- 3:02Speaker 1: it loss of nasal hair, which tells the officer she
- 3:05Speaker 1: uses it a lot. The cop decides to proceed with
- 3:07Speaker 1: the final test, the one that will seal Chastity's fate.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Start it whenever you're ready. Is there any chance you're
- 3:16Speaker 2: pregnant right now? Not pregnant at all? Okay, actually that time,
- 3:21Speaker 2: right now okay, yeash, turn around for it. Do you
- 3:27Speaker 2: have any shoulder injuries?
- 3:29Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 3:30Speaker 2: Right now you're under restauris. Okay, I'm going to read your.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Rights before for us.
- 3:33Speaker 1: This officer has seen enough and decides to arrest her
- 3:36Speaker 1: for DUI. As of November twenty twenty three, Chasity is
- 3:39Speaker 1: facing some serious felony charges, including first degree aggravated vehicular homicide,
- 3:44Speaker 1: a third degree endangering children, first degree involuntary manslaughter, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: reckless homicide. But compared to the next killer parent, Chastity
- 3:52Speaker 1: looks like a saint, like he did.
- 3:55Speaker 6: Oh good, good, good, good God.
- 3:58Speaker 1: When sixty two year old Sin suffered a stroke, she
- 4:01Speaker 1: was taken in by her daughter Laura, who felt she
- 4:03Speaker 1: could keep a closer eye on her at home. On
- 4:05Speaker 1: the surface, Laura's California home seemed to be the perfect
- 4:08Speaker 1: place to be. As she settled into her new surroundings,
- 4:11Speaker 1: she realized just how bad things were. Laura's husband, Jeward,
- 4:15Speaker 1: was a well known and respected figure in the local community.
- 4:18Speaker 1: What was also a very strict father who used military
- 4:21Speaker 1: style training to keep everyone in check. Cynthia was against
- 4:24Speaker 1: the way he brought up her grandkids, and they frequently
- 4:27Speaker 1: argued about it.
- 4:28Speaker 7: What did you think of him?
- 4:32Speaker 3: Why do you say that? That's the big thumbs down?
- 4:36Speaker 3: He didn't like it.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Geward had his own issues with Cynthia. She was a smoker,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and when Geward caught her with a cigarette, he had
- 4:44Speaker 1: a unique way of making her stop.
- 4:46Speaker 5: My aunt Sidney would be on the back patio smoking
- 4:48Speaker 5: because she wasn't aid to smoke in the house, and
- 4:51Speaker 5: he would be out there watering and he would see,
- 4:53Speaker 5: oh where I see smoke, I see fire. Got to
- 4:56Speaker 5: put out the fire, and he would holse my aunt down.
- 4:58Speaker 3: With the hose.
- 4:58Speaker 5: He did it to my cousin too. To Laura, his wife,
- 5:02Speaker 5: he went and holds her wetter with the holes because
- 5:04Speaker 5: she says something he didn't like.
- 5:06Speaker 1: The relationship deteriorated as the years went on, and on
- 5:09Speaker 1: February eleventh, twenty fourteen, Cynthia snapped. It was the morning
- 5:15Speaker 1: of Cynthia's sixty third birthday and she was planning to
- 5:18Speaker 1: celebrate in style. When Jeward saw the outfit she had picked,
- 5:21Speaker 1: he made a comment that tipped Cynthia over the edge.
- 5:25Speaker 3: You can't go IDT looks like your gettro in this.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Cynthia had only recently purchased a revolver, and now she
- 5:35Speaker 1: finally found an excuse to use it. She went to
- 5:37Speaker 1: her bedroom, grabs the weapon, and shot five rounds into Jeward,
- 5:41Speaker 1: who was in the garden at the time. Then she
- 5:43Speaker 1: went for breakfast at a local Denny's and celebrated her
- 5:45Speaker 1: birthday at a casino as if nothing had happened. Neighbors
- 5:49Speaker 1: quickly called in the shots, and cops later found Guard
- 5:51Speaker 1: dead on the kitchen floor of his home, leaving Cynthia
- 5:54Speaker 1: to become the lead suspect in the investigation. Detectives caught
- 5:58Speaker 1: up with her at a coffee shop a few hours
- 5:59Speaker 1: after to her murder, and she was brought in for questioning.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Take a look at her frankly laughable attempts to feign
- 6:04Speaker 1: ignorance and to act upset.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, Laura's husband has passed away. Huh, Laura's husband
- 6:13Speaker 3: was killed today. You would kill when today? Some questions.
- 6:22Speaker 7: We're going to ask you some questions because we're trying
- 6:24Speaker 7: to figure out what happened today.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Okay.
- 6:26Speaker 1: As the interrogation went on, Cynthia's mask began to slip.
- 6:30Speaker 1: So mean to me, Oh, this means everybody if anybody
- 6:35Speaker 1: tried to stop him, kicked up. It sounds like somebody
- 6:39Speaker 1: had to stop him.
- 6:40Speaker 4: I did, I did.
- 6:43Speaker 3: I was guilty. Okay, somebody had to stop him.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I did.
- 6:48Speaker 5: Okay, if you did, you tell me you gotta be dead.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Just like that, She admitted to murdering Jeward, but her
- 6:55Speaker 1: reaction to finding out Jewart is actually dead is the
- 6:58Speaker 1: stuff of nightmares. He did, Oh thank you, thank you,
- 7:03Speaker 1: thank you.
- 7:04Speaker 3: You hate you? Oh boy, oh boy.
- 7:08Speaker 1: No matter what Jewart did, he did not deserve to
- 7:11Speaker 1: be gunned down and killed in such a brutal way.
- 7:13Speaker 1: He was more than just a son in law. He
- 7:15Speaker 1: was a husband and father, and now a family was
- 7:18Speaker 1: left in turmoil. Just watch Laura's heartbreaking reaction after she
- 7:21Speaker 1: found out her own mother was the one responsible.
- 7:28Speaker 3: I wanted to wanted to go.
- 7:32Speaker 1: This would be the last time they saw Cynthia outside
- 7:35Speaker 1: of prison grounds, as she was sentenced to fifty years
- 7:38Speaker 1: for the murder of Jeward, meaning she'll undoubtedly die in prison.
- 7:42Speaker 1: At least, Cynthia made it easy for the cops, unlike
- 7:45Speaker 1: this next killer, who did everything she could to cover
- 7:47Speaker 1: up her murder. You know what I find interest in
- 7:50Speaker 1: what how you are right now?
- 7:52Speaker 7: How you'd like to climb across this table and clack me.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I wish that could.
- 7:55Speaker 1: In December of twenty seventeen, the FBI finally found five
- 7:59Speaker 1: year old Jean and Rodriguez in the backyard of his
- 8:01Speaker 1: family home. But this would be a discovery that would
- 8:04Speaker 1: open Pandora's box of abuse and neglect. And it was
- 8:07Speaker 1: down to one phone call.
- 8:09Speaker 6: Were pol help you, heid ma'am. I'm calling from overseas,
- 8:15Speaker 6: but it's kind of messed up the whole situation. But
- 8:17Speaker 6: my brother told me something and I just can't sleep
- 8:21Speaker 6: at night as far as basically, he told me that
- 8:24Speaker 6: something happened with one of the kids, and theydy called
- 8:28Speaker 6: the cops and basically him and his girlfriend bury the
- 8:32Speaker 6: kid in the backyard.
- 8:33Speaker 1: The father, Christopher, was serving time when he called his
- 8:36Speaker 1: brother and claims that he and his wife, Larissa, had
- 8:38Speaker 1: found their son, Jordan, unresponsive and took the decision to
- 8:42Speaker 1: bury him in their own backyard. When Larissa's sisters visited
- 8:45Speaker 1: her in August twenty seventeen, they saw a family living
- 8:48Speaker 1: in the most disgusting conditions, and Larissa told her family
- 8:51Speaker 1: that Jordan was going to stay with his aunt. Not
- 8:54Speaker 1: long after, her sister visited. After the phone call from
- 8:56Speaker 1: Christopher's brother, police decided to pay Larissa a call and
- 8:59Speaker 1: perform a welfare check.
- 9:02Speaker 3: He's got five kids here this week. Okay, well we
- 9:17Speaker 3: are called. UH want us to check on the on
- 9:20Speaker 3: the well being of five four to five year old? Okay,
- 9:25Speaker 3: what can we see? Okay? I believe you.
- 9:36Speaker 2: And his girlfriend?
- 9:41Speaker 3: Hello? Kids? Do you have a child with special needs? Oh? Jordan, yesterday?
- 9:49Speaker 3: Hold is Jordan's Jordan's he is just five. He's with
- 9:54Speaker 3: his dad. He's visiting, visiting for the holiday. He's not
- 9:58Speaker 3: here with us.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Where's There is no sign of Jordan, and when Larissa
- 10:07Speaker 1: is asked, she brushes off any concern and tells the
- 10:09Speaker 1: officer he is with his father.
- 10:11Speaker 3: What's his dad's name? She had a number to Patrick,
- 10:15Speaker 3: les that we call it.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Right now.
- 10:19Speaker 3: I don't have the number because he's going to get
- 10:21Speaker 3: in the number. Tell me something about Patrick. I mean
- 10:25Speaker 3: we lived together for about three years? What's his last name? Strong?
- 10:34Speaker 3: We wasn't together, as she seed long people.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Larissa seems to have trouble remembering a man who she
- 10:41Speaker 1: dated for two years and had a child with. More Worryingly,
- 10:44Speaker 1: when asked by police, she could not recall the phone
- 10:47Speaker 1: number or any details of where they could be found
- 10:50Speaker 1: at the time, which all seems to be rather convenient
- 10:53Speaker 1: under the circumstances. The next day, Jordan's body was found,
- 10:57Speaker 1: and the autopsy revealed a history of abuse that had
- 10:59Speaker 1: been going on for a very long time. Shortly after
- 11:02Speaker 1: the gruesome discovery, Larissa was arrested and brought in for questioning,
- 11:06Speaker 1: where disgustingly, she continued to play innocent.
- 11:10Speaker 3: When I tell you some things have changed.
- 11:11Speaker 8: Is we did talk with the corner and they finished
- 11:14Speaker 8: their initial examination, and there are some problems.
- 11:18Speaker 2: The problems being Jordan had injuries that were healing on.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Their own without medical help, and you're not being honest
- 11:26Speaker 6: about what was happening.
- 11:28Speaker 3: To this kid. I mean, I personally didn't. I should
- 11:32Speaker 3: not be the only one taking full blame for this.
- 11:35Speaker 1: When police asked Larissa about the injuries, she denied being responsible.
- 11:39Speaker 1: But the detectives aren't convinced.
- 11:41Speaker 3: How long were you and Chris together? About two years?
- 11:44Speaker 3: When we confront him with Jordan's injuries. Is you're going
- 11:47Speaker 3: to tell us otherwise that you're the one who did it.
- 11:49Speaker 8: A woman can't do a hit that much harder and
- 11:52Speaker 8: you know what, anybody can tell you that that's not true.
- 11:56Speaker 3: I mean, he's a lot stronger.
- 11:58Speaker 8: I under deny him if he can it on me,
- 12:01Speaker 8: and he can discipline my other kids, but he wouldn't
- 12:03Speaker 8: discipline him like he did Jordan.
- 12:06Speaker 3: How does he discipline Jordan? It was just different. And
- 12:10Speaker 3: I used to sit there and tell him, don't do that.
- 12:13Speaker 3: You know, I used to get yelled at my kids.
- 12:16Speaker 3: All can tell you.
- 12:17Speaker 8: I defended all my kids, and that's where a lot
- 12:20Speaker 8: of me and his arguments came in because I.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Did defend my kids, and that's where he would put
- 12:26Speaker 3: his hands on me.
- 12:27Speaker 1: As the interrogation goes on, Larissa continues to paint a
- 12:30Speaker 1: very bleak picture of Christopher, which could be an attempt
- 12:33Speaker 1: to make herself out as the victim. It is revealed
- 12:35Speaker 1: that in September twenty seventeen, Jordan was in a semi
- 12:39Speaker 1: conscious state, but instead of calling an ambulance, they just
- 12:41Speaker 1: gave him a cold shower and put him to bed. Tragically,
- 12:44Speaker 1: Jordan would never see the light of day, and the
- 12:47Speaker 1: couple decided to bury him in the backyard. You won't
- 12:50Speaker 1: believe who it was.
- 12:51Speaker 7: It was Christopher's idea to bury your son in the backyard.
- 12:55Speaker 3: It was my idea, and he just did it just
- 12:59Speaker 3: because I didn't want Jordan to be far away from me.
- 13:03Speaker 3: I just wanted him to be closed. I was not
- 13:06Speaker 3: ready to let Jordan go. I take the responsibility. I
- 13:09Speaker 3: didn't take them to the doctor.
- 13:10Speaker 1: That was my fault.
- 13:12Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't call the ambulance when he needed it.
- 13:15Speaker 3: That was my fault.
- 13:17Speaker 8: I also had part in putting him there because I
- 13:20Speaker 8: just had a baby, so, you know, and I'm feeling
- 13:24Speaker 8: my depressed. I diagnosed with PTSD, you know, in a
- 13:28Speaker 8: private postpartal and you know.
- 13:31Speaker 3: I didn't know what to do.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Both Christopher and Larissa were found guilty on charges of
- 13:36Speaker 1: involuntary manslaughter, with sentences of twenty eight and twenty five years.
- 13:41Speaker 1: They knew what they were doing when they neglected their
- 13:43Speaker 1: responsibility as parents, unlike this next couple, who were so
- 13:47Speaker 1: high on drugs they didn't even notice when their infant
- 13:50Speaker 1: child walked straight into danger us Route one. It's one
- 13:55Speaker 1: of the busiest highways across America and the last place
- 13:58Speaker 1: you would ever want to find a child wandering alone.
- 14:01Speaker 1: But in June twenty nineteen, that's exactly what one motorist
- 14:05Speaker 1: saw and they had to do something about it. The
- 14:07Speaker 1: whole shocking incident was caught on a body cane.
- 14:12Speaker 7: Okay, who's can we find? No, I just pulled over.
- 14:20Speaker 7: They were walking in the road.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Yes, it's great.
- 14:22Speaker 7: He actually, Oh, I know, I know where he is.
- 14:24Speaker 7: I think I'm pretty sure I know which one he's from?
- 14:26Speaker 7: That one or there?
- 14:27Speaker 4: Oh?
- 14:27Speaker 2: Good, pretty sure?
- 14:28Speaker 7: Hey, buddy, I don't know you wancome to me or
- 14:31Speaker 7: you good over there?
- 14:34Speaker 1: But the real surprise came when he recognized the boy.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Did he say anything to you?
- 14:39Speaker 7: No, he didn't, didn't say anything.
- 14:41Speaker 5: He's not for sure.
- 14:43Speaker 7: I think I remember this guy.
- 14:44Speaker 1: The officer didn't have to go far to take the
- 14:46Speaker 1: boy home, and he knew exactly where his parents would be.
- 14:50Speaker 7: Is this where you live?
- 14:50Speaker 2: You live here? That's where you live?
- 14:52Speaker 7: How'd you get out? Is this where you came from?
- 14:55Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 15:00Speaker 7: Who my blue lights?
- 15:02Speaker 1: Buddy, look at that.
- 15:03Speaker 7: We're gonna sit in that car. Actually, can you hang
- 15:06Speaker 7: tight with him while I pull my car over here
- 15:07Speaker 7: and we can sit in the back of my car
- 15:09Speaker 7: for a second. Absolutely, is come he here?
- 15:13Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, the same family had been involved in
- 15:15Speaker 1: an incident where a child called nine one one, and
- 15:18Speaker 1: when the police arrived, they found two children alone with
- 15:21Speaker 1: a potentially dangerous dog. But even worse, there was a
- 15:24Speaker 1: shotgun also in the room with them. If the officer
- 15:27Speaker 1: was hoping Yahira and Jacob had cleaned up their lifestyle
- 15:30Speaker 1: in the year since he last saw them, then he
- 15:32Speaker 1: was in for a major disappointment.
- 15:34Speaker 7: You know, I don't want to say it's that trailer
- 15:36Speaker 7: right there, but I was out here for a similar
- 15:38Speaker 7: incident and it was that trailer right there. So I'm
- 15:41Speaker 7: gonna try to find the mom again, same child. They
- 15:45Speaker 7: were younger, I'm pretty they were younger obviously at the time,
- 15:48Speaker 7: but that's why I'm kind of remembering him. You want
- 15:50Speaker 7: to sit in the back of my car real quick
- 15:52Speaker 7: in the blue lights. Tim will put the blue lights on,
- 15:55Speaker 7: all right.
- 15:55Speaker 1: The officer kept the child entertained until his parents showed up,
- 15:58Speaker 1: and when they finally did, they were a little too
- 16:00Speaker 1: out of it to even care.
- 16:02Speaker 7: You recognize me, You don't recognize me. I was here
- 16:06Speaker 7: last time when this happened, You remember that, Yeah, And
- 16:11Speaker 7: your son today was in the street walking out on
- 16:13Speaker 7: US one, and luckily some nice ladies saw him and
- 16:16Speaker 7: stopped before he got smashed by a friggin car. What
- 16:19Speaker 7: were you guys doing in there? We're just sleep just sleeping. Yeah,
- 16:25Speaker 7: can we get him a new diaper on? His diaper
- 16:28Speaker 7: is really soiled. You don't even want to like, I mean,
- 16:33Speaker 7: you can look at it, obviously, but it's disgusting. Like
- 16:35Speaker 7: I didn't even want to walk in here, but I
- 16:37Speaker 7: wanted to make sure there wasn't another kid in there.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Is this the same kid or a different one?
- 16:40Speaker 7: No, it's the same kid. It's the same kid that
- 16:42Speaker 7: called U last time. He's got a younger sister. I
- 16:44Speaker 7: think she's with the grandparents, So we're gonna need to
- 16:48Speaker 7: call DCF.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Or the grandparents.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Eventually, the officer decides he has had enough.
- 16:53Speaker 7: Pretrans mind your back. I haven't had enough of this
- 16:56Speaker 7: without both of you gonna arrest it. You both are
- 16:59Speaker 7: getting arrested to get your kid dressed.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Child neglect? What do you mean why.
- 17:07Speaker 7: I see in the back of my car, Sit in
- 17:10Speaker 7: the back, get in there, sweet please? Why what do
- 17:14Speaker 7: you mean why poor parents A had that one to
- 17:16Speaker 7: the list slide in the car.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Now you're next for what?
- 17:25Speaker 7: Child neglect? Put your hands behind your back.
- 17:27Speaker 3: I know what did you do.
