- 0:30Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. Austin Harraff was born on
- 0:49Speaker 1: December twenty first, nineteen ninety six, to a dentist and
- 0:53Speaker 1: a pharmacist. They lived in a beautiful home in Palm
- 0:56Speaker 1: Beach County, Florida, which is not only one of the
- 0:58Speaker 1: nicest and wealthiest place to live in Florida, but it
- 1:01Speaker 1: is one of the nicest and wealthiest places to live
- 1:04Speaker 1: in all of America. And that's why as of twenty
- 1:06Speaker 1: twenty one, there are forty four billionaires that call this
- 1:09Speaker 1: paradise their home. In twenty ten, when Austin was thirteen
- 1:13Speaker 1: years old, his parents suddenly got divorced, and within the
- 1:16Speaker 1: same calendar year, both of his parents had new girlfriends
- 1:19Speaker 1: and boyfriends. Now, of course, this was a shock to
- 1:22Speaker 1: Austin and to his one year younger sister, Hayley, but
- 1:25Speaker 1: they both relatively quickly adjusted to their new normal, and
- 1:28Speaker 1: that was in large part because the kids didn't move out.
- 1:31Speaker 1: They stayed in the family home with their mom and
- 1:33Speaker 1: their father.
- 1:34Speaker 2: He did move out, but he moved into a home
- 1:36Speaker 2: that was very close by.
- 1:37Speaker 1: About a year after the divorce, Austin began high school
- 1:40Speaker 1: and immediately he excelled. He was placed into all advanced classes,
- 1:45Speaker 1: and within these advanced classes, Austin was consistently at the
- 1:49Speaker 1: top of his class.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Austin was also a big athletic guy.
- 1:52Speaker 1: He was about six feet tall and weighed about two
- 1:54Speaker 1: hundred pounds, and so naturally he played football for all
- 1:57Speaker 1: four years he was in high school, and for one
- 1:59Speaker 1: year his sophomore year, he also wrestled.
- 2:02Speaker 2: But despite his size and willingness to.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Play these very rough, physical sports, Austin was not an
- 2:08Speaker 1: aggressive guy. In fact, his football coaches actually used to
- 2:11Speaker 1: criticize him for not being aggressive enough, and on game
- 2:14Speaker 1: days they would try to make him mad in hopes
- 2:17Speaker 1: that would inspire him to go out there and smash
- 2:20Speaker 1: some people, but it really didn't work, because.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Austin was Austin.
- 2:23Speaker 1: He was just kind of a laid back guy who
- 2:25Speaker 1: was actually much more interested in helping people than smashing them.
- 2:29Speaker 1: In fact, towards the end of high school, Austin became
- 2:32Speaker 1: obsessed with trying to identify a career that would allow
- 2:36Speaker 1: him to help the most people. And he was so
- 2:38Speaker 1: passionate about this that when he spoke about it, a
- 2:41Speaker 1: huge smile would kind of involuntarily appear on his face.
- 2:45Speaker 1: And so, because of this, and because of Austin's generally
- 2:48Speaker 1: happy disposition, his father very lovingly began referring to him
- 2:51Speaker 1: as the happy Boy. Shortly before Austin's graduation in twenty fifteen,
- 2:56Speaker 1: he received a letter in the mail from Florida State University,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and it was informing him he had been accepted into
- 3:02Speaker 1: their four year pre med program. Austin had settled on
- 3:05Speaker 1: medicine as being his intended career path to help the
- 3:08Speaker 1: most people, and so being accepted into this very prestigious
- 3:11Speaker 1: program was like a best case scenario, and so Austin
- 3:14Speaker 1: and his family were elated, and that summer that followed
- 3:18Speaker 1: his high school graduation was totally charmed.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Austin was on cloud nine.
- 3:22Speaker 1: He spent a lot of time with his family and
- 3:23Speaker 1: his friends, and then finally, at the end of the summer,
- 3:26Speaker 1: his family packed all of his stuff into the car
- 3:28Speaker 1: and they drove six hours north to Tallahassee, where the
- 3:31Speaker 1: Florida State campus was. They helped move him into his dorm,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and then afterwards they gave him a big hug, said
- 3:36Speaker 1: good luck, and they left. And I'm sure on their
- 3:39Speaker 1: ride back the family members thought to themselves, Austin is
- 3:42Speaker 1: doing so great. He is not only ready for college,
- 3:45Speaker 1: he is ready to be an adult. He's ready to
- 3:47Speaker 1: live on his own and be responsible. And at the
- 3:50Speaker 1: end of Austin's first year in college that supposition about
- 3:54Speaker 1: him ready to be an adult seemed to be accurate.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Austin got excellent grades, he met a nice girlfriend, and
- 4:00Speaker 1: even though he wasn't playing organized sports like football, he
- 4:03Speaker 1: had found another athletic outlet in bodybuilding, and he had
- 4:07Speaker 1: actually built a decent sized social media presence around bodybuilding
- 4:10Speaker 1: and fitness. But underneath all of this public success Austin
- 4:14Speaker 1: was having that year, he was actually struggling a lot
- 4:17Speaker 1: of the time.
- 4:18Speaker 2: He just wasn't telling anyone.
- 4:19Speaker 1: In a journal he kept, he documented a deep sense
- 4:22Speaker 1: of inadequacy caused primarily from his sense that his peers
- 4:26Speaker 1: didn't accept him, and so he would write endlessly about
- 4:29Speaker 1: how if he could just stop being so shy and
- 4:32Speaker 1: be more assertive and outgoing, that more people would embrace
- 4:35Speaker 1: him and would like him and would accept him. Over
- 4:38Speaker 1: the course of that year, Austin also started abusing different substances.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Those included things like alcohol, marijuana, and vivance by vance
- 4:45Speaker 1: is a drug that is a stimulant and it's used
- 4:48Speaker 1: to treat people with attention deficit disorder. He also experimented
- 4:51Speaker 1: with hallucinogenic drugs like acid and mushrooms, and he also
- 4:55Speaker 1: tried MDMA, which is kind of like a cross between
- 4:58Speaker 1: a stimulant and a hallucinog. And those are just the
- 5:01Speaker 1: drugs that we are aware he was taking. It's entirely
- 5:03Speaker 1: possible he was taking other drugs too. Regardless, Austin began
- 5:07Speaker 1: oscillating between the high of whatever drug or combination of drugs.
- 5:11Speaker 1: He was on to the low of his sober mind,
- 5:15Speaker 1: which was totally saturated with anxious and depressive thoughts. Before
- 5:19Speaker 1: the end of the school year, Austin was secretly poised
- 5:22Speaker 1: for a full blown mental breakdown, and it seemed like
- 5:25Speaker 1: he knew it was coming to in the last month
- 5:27Speaker 1: before the end of school His Internet search history is
- 5:31Speaker 1: filled with questions like I think I'm crazy?
- 5:33Speaker 2: What do I do?
- 5:35Speaker 1: And how do you know if you're crazy? And how
- 5:37Speaker 1: to deal with obsessive thoughts?
- 5:39Speaker 2: And do I need to sleep?
- 5:40Speaker 1: And what happens if you don't sleep? It was clear
- 5:42Speaker 1: he was starting to question his own sanity. When Austin
- 5:45Speaker 1: finally returned back home from Florida State that summer, his
- 5:49Speaker 1: family immediately noticed there.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Was something wrong with Austin.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Within a few days of being home, Austin had moved
- 5:55Speaker 1: his bed from his bedroom down into the garage, claiming
- 5:59Speaker 1: that the reason he did this was because the house
- 6:01Speaker 1: was full of demons. At night, instead of sleeping, Austin
- 6:04Speaker 1: would patrol the house. He would literally just walk all
- 6:08Speaker 1: around the house all night, never stopping, and every two
- 6:11Speaker 1: hours he would knock on the bedroom doors of his
- 6:14Speaker 1: family members. And loudly announced that he was guarding them
- 6:17Speaker 1: from the demons in the house. Now you can imagine
- 6:20Speaker 1: how his family felt at the time. This was so
- 6:23Speaker 1: unbelievably weird and totally out of character that they just
- 6:27Speaker 1: didn't really.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Know what to do.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Even though it was obvious there was something wrong, they
- 6:32Speaker 1: didn't jump into action. Instead, the only thing they did
- 6:35Speaker 1: at first was to just start locking their bedroom doors
- 6:38Speaker 1: at night to prevent Austin from coming inside during his
- 6:42Speaker 1: nighttime patrols. But as the summer progressed and Austin continued
- 6:46Speaker 1: to act totally weird with no explanation, his family began
- 6:50Speaker 1: to become convinced that he must be on drugs, that
- 6:53Speaker 1: that is what would explain all of this totally strange behavior,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and so when they confronted him about his drug use,
- 6:59Speaker 1: he would admit that he was taking drugs. Lots of
- 7:02Speaker 1: different drugs, psychedelics, stimulants, you name it. He's taking all
- 7:06Speaker 1: these drugs. And so naturally his family latched on to
- 7:09Speaker 1: his drug use as being the root cause of his
- 7:12Speaker 1: very strange behavior, and so they focused their efforts almost
- 7:16Speaker 1: exclusively on getting Austin clean again. But towards the end
- 7:20Speaker 1: of the summer, Austin said he wasn't taking any drugs,
- 7:24Speaker 1: but Austin was still acting totally crazy and unhinged, and
- 7:28Speaker 1: so around mid August, the family decided they had to
- 7:31Speaker 1: utilize something called.
- 7:32Speaker 2: The Baker Act.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Under the Baker Act, individuals in Florida who are suspected
- 7:37Speaker 1: of severe mental illness can be detained for up to
- 7:40Speaker 1: seventy two hours at the behest of their loved ones,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and during these seventy two hours, this individual is thoroughly
- 7:47Speaker 1: assessed to see what's going on with them, and then
- 7:50Speaker 1: at the end of those seventy two hours, they are
- 7:52Speaker 1: given a treatment plan that their family is supposed to
- 7:54Speaker 1: help them and act. But before the family could utilize
- 7:57Speaker 1: the Baker Act, something horrifica On the morning of August fifteenth,
- 8:02Speaker 1: one of Austin's very close friends, who he had known
- 8:04Speaker 1: since second grade, said Austin just showed up at his
- 8:07Speaker 1: house without calling ahead of time or letting him know,
- 8:10Speaker 1: which was very uncharacteristic. And when this friend opened the
- 8:13Speaker 1: door to see what Austin wanted, Austin just asked him
- 8:17Speaker 1: what year was I born? And so the friend says
- 8:21Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, and as soon as Austin heard this,
- 8:23Speaker 1: he didn't give a reaction to it. He just turned
- 8:25Speaker 1: around and he left. And so this longtime friend is
- 8:28Speaker 1: looking at Austin walking away, wondering, you know, like what's
- 8:32Speaker 1: going on with this guy?
- 8:33Speaker 2: Is he high on drugs? Is he drunk? Like? What
- 8:35Speaker 2: was that?
- 8:36Speaker 1: So the friend goes back inside his house and he's
- 8:38Speaker 1: thinking to himself, you know, like what should I do?
- 8:40Speaker 1: And so after a couple of minutes, he decides, you
- 8:42Speaker 1: know what, I got to call Austin and make sure
- 8:44Speaker 1: he's okay.
- 8:44Speaker 2: So he calls Austin.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Austin picks up, and it's unclear what they talked about
- 8:48Speaker 1: on the phone, but the friend convinced Austin to come
- 8:51Speaker 1: back to his house and to just spend the day
- 8:53Speaker 1: with him.
- 8:54Speaker 2: But really the friend just wanted to make sure Austin
- 8:56Speaker 2: was okay.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And so Austin comes back to the friend's house and
- 8:59Speaker 1: then the two of them actually would leave the house
- 9:01Speaker 1: and meet up with some of their other friends that
- 9:02Speaker 1: were in town that summer, as well as meet up
- 9:04Speaker 1: with Austin's sister, and so the group they decide they're
- 9:07Speaker 1: going to.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Go to the beach for the day and on their
- 9:09Speaker 2: walk to the beach.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Austin tells the group that he just needs to get
- 9:13Speaker 1: something at his house and that he will meet them
- 9:15Speaker 1: down at the water and so at this point the
- 9:17Speaker 1: group believes Austin is just fine, so they say, okay, yep,
- 9:19Speaker 1: we'll meet you down there, and so Austin breaks off.
- 9:21Speaker 1: He goes to his house, and when he goes back
- 9:24Speaker 1: to the beach and meets up with his group of
- 9:26Speaker 1: friends again, he's changed his outfit. He was now wearing
- 9:29Speaker 1: this very thick, large football jersey. He was wearing long
- 9:33Speaker 1: sweatpants that were also very thick. He had on two wristwatches,
- 9:37Speaker 1: and he had on sunglasses. And so as he walks
- 9:39Speaker 1: down onto the beach, his friends look up at him,
- 9:42Speaker 1: and it's super hot out and they're at the beach,
- 9:44Speaker 1: so this is a totally weird outfit to have on,
- 9:46Speaker 1: and immediately they start kind of giving him crap about
- 9:49Speaker 1: his strange outfit choice. But Austin did not think it
- 9:52Speaker 1: was funny at all, and at first he was quiet,
- 9:55Speaker 1: but then he kind of lashed out and said, if
- 9:57Speaker 1: you tell me I'm crazy.
- 9:58Speaker 2: I will kill you. And at this his friends did
- 10:01Speaker 2: not give him any more crap.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Everyone just said, okay, man, he didn't mean anything by it,
- 10:05Speaker 1: just giving you a hard time, no big deal.
- 10:07Speaker 2: But Austin's like clearly worked up.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And so his sister comes over to him and she's like, hey,
- 10:10Speaker 1: you know, calm down, it's okay, it's not a big deal.
- 10:13Speaker 1: And during this conversation, Austin suddenly goes back to being
- 10:16Speaker 1: normal again, and he turns to his sister and he says,
- 10:18Speaker 1: I'm actually half coarse and I'm immortal. And his sister's like, what,
- 10:25Speaker 1: you really need to get professional help. You need to
- 10:27Speaker 1: see a therapist or a psychologist or something. Something is
- 10:32Speaker 1: wrong with you and it's been wrong all summer. You
- 10:34Speaker 1: need to get help now. Apparently Austin actually responded to
- 10:38Speaker 1: this very positively and he said, you know, I agree
- 10:41Speaker 1: there is something going on and I do need to
- 10:44Speaker 1: get help.
- 10:44Speaker 2: You're right.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And so after that, Austin and the rest of the
- 10:47Speaker 1: group they stayed at the beach for several hours, and
- 10:50Speaker 1: then in the evening time, Austin, his sister, and Austin's
- 10:53Speaker 1: very close friend who was the guy that saw Austin
- 10:55Speaker 1: in the morning when he asked, you know what year
- 10:57Speaker 1: was born?
- 10:58Speaker 2: They all said they had to leave. So the trio
- 11:00Speaker 2: they leave the beach.
- 11:01Speaker 1: And they head to Duffy's, which was a restaurant in town,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and they were going there to meet up with Austin's
- 11:07Speaker 1: father and his father's girlfriend. And so as they're getting
- 11:09Speaker 1: to this restaurant, they're walking along the sidewalk. They're nearing
- 11:12Speaker 1: this restaurant when suddenly Austin turns to his sister and says, hey,
- 11:16Speaker 1: I need to test out my immortality, and he just
- 11:19Speaker 1: turns away from her, away from the sidewalk towards traffic
- 11:23Speaker 1: and just starts walking into traffic like he's gonna let
- 11:26Speaker 1: a car hit him to test his immortality. And so
- 11:29Speaker 1: his sister immediately was able to grab him and pulled
- 11:32Speaker 1: him back onto the sidewalk and then basically stood on
- 11:35Speaker 1: the left side of him, preventing him from running out
- 11:38Speaker 1: into traffic, and kind of pushed him along up the
- 11:41Speaker 1: sidewalk right up to the front door of this restaurant.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And when they got there, Austin had stopped trying to
- 11:46Speaker 1: walk out into traffic.
- 11:47Speaker 2: He was acting normal again.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And it was there that the trio met up with
- 11:50Speaker 1: Austin's father and his father's girlfriend, and the five of
- 11:53Speaker 1: them went into Duffy's restaurant. It was about seven forty
- 11:56Speaker 1: five pm when they got inside, and they were very
- 11:59Speaker 1: quickly sat in the very back of the restaurant in
- 12:01Speaker 1: this booth. And so there was a CCTV camera that
- 12:04Speaker 1: watched them while they were inside this building.
- 12:06Speaker 2: And so they're sitting at the booth.
- 12:08Speaker 1: In about three minutes after having sat down, Austin gets
- 12:11Speaker 1: up and walks away from the booth and walks as
- 12:14Speaker 1: if he's going towards the bathroom, but then stops, doesn't
- 12:17Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, turns around and walks back towards
- 12:20Speaker 1: the front of the building, and then walks out the
- 12:22Speaker 1: front doors, just leaves the restaurant altogether. Now it's unclear
- 12:26Speaker 1: if the rest of his family saw him do this,
- 12:28Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like they did.
- 12:29Speaker 2: But just a minute.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Later, Austin comes back inside the restaurant and just walks
- 12:34Speaker 1: right back to his table and sits down like nothing
- 12:36Speaker 1: had ever happened. Less than ten minutes later, Austin would
- 12:39Speaker 1: get up again from his table, except this time, instead
- 12:42Speaker 1: of feigning going to the bathroom, he just walks straight
- 12:45Speaker 1: from his table right out the front doors of the
- 12:47Speaker 1: restaurant and disappears. A couple minutes later, Austin's mother, who
- 12:51Speaker 1: was not at dinner with them. She was at her home,
- 12:54Speaker 1: which happened to be nearby this restaurant. She was home
- 12:57Speaker 1: when she heard the sound of someone coming into her house,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and so she went around to see who it was,
- 13:03Speaker 1: and she found her son, Austin in her kitchen drinking
- 13:06Speaker 1: vegetable oil, and there was parmege on cheese all over
- 13:09Speaker 1: the counter that apparently he had been eating as well.
- 13:12Speaker 1: And so she runs up to him and she grabs
- 13:14Speaker 1: the vegetable oil and she puts it down, and she
- 13:16Speaker 1: tells him to stop, at which point Austin does stop.
- 13:18Speaker 1: And then I guess Austin just went up to his
- 13:20Speaker 1: room and he changed out of his clothes.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Because perhaps he got boiled all over his shirt.
- 13:24Speaker 1: And then his mom just drove him back to the restaurant,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and so she watched him get out of the car,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and she watched.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Him go through the front door, and then she drove off.
- 13:31Speaker 1: And so about thirty minutes after he left that second time,
- 13:34Speaker 1: Austin walks through the front doors of the restaurant. He's
- 13:37Speaker 1: got a different shirt on, different hat on, and he
- 13:39Speaker 1: just walks to the back of the restaurant where his sister,
- 13:42Speaker 1: his friend, and his father and his father's girlfriend are
- 13:45Speaker 1: and he sits down like nothing had ever happened. At first,
- 13:48Speaker 1: it looks like everyone at the table is just silent,
- 13:51Speaker 1: but then Austin's father very clearly says something to Austin,
- 13:55Speaker 1: and it seems kind of hostile, and it would turn
- 13:57Speaker 1: out Austin's father, who loved his son, was just totally
- 14:00Speaker 1: at a loss for what to do with him, and
- 14:02Speaker 1: he said to Austin when he sat back.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Down, what is wrong with you?
- 14:06Speaker 1: And at this Austin just stands up and presses his
- 14:09Speaker 1: father's face back up against his seat.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Kind of pinning him there. And then at some point
- 14:13Speaker 2: he just lets go.
- 14:14Speaker 1: He leaves the booth and he walks right out of
- 14:16Speaker 1: the restaurant for a third time. Austin's friend, who was
- 14:19Speaker 1: eating with them, he got up and kind of chased
- 14:21Speaker 1: after Austin, but he was about thirty seconds behind him,
- 14:25Speaker 1: and so by the time he got outside, he didn't
- 14:27Speaker 1: know where Austin went, and so he quickly came back
- 14:29Speaker 1: in the restaurant. He told the rest of the group
- 14:31Speaker 1: he didn't know where Austin was, and so at this
- 14:34Speaker 1: point Austin's father's girlfriend would actually call the police and
- 14:37Speaker 1: report Austin missing. They knew he was totally unhinged and
- 14:40Speaker 1: they didn't know where he was going to go if
- 14:42Speaker 1: he was a threat to himself or someone else, and
- 14:44Speaker 1: so they figured they should just tell the police and
- 14:46Speaker 1: have the police go find him. About four miles away
- 14:49Speaker 1: from this restaurant, fifty three year old Michelle Mischcon was
- 14:52Speaker 1: sitting in her garage watching TV. Normally she would be
- 14:55Speaker 1: joined by her husband, fifty nine year old John Stevens,
- 14:58Speaker 1: but he was out walking there dog, so for the
- 15:00Speaker 1: time being, Michelle was alone. The couple had been married
- 15:04Speaker 1: for roughly twenty years. They had three kids together from
- 15:06Speaker 1: previous marriages, and they were just totally in love with
- 15:09Speaker 1: each other.
- 15:10Speaker 2: That garage was like their happy place that was basically
- 15:13Speaker 2: like their living room.
- 15:14Speaker 1: They loved having the door wide opens that could wave
- 15:16Speaker 1: to neighbors and flag people down to have a drink
- 15:19Speaker 1: with them or just chat with them. They were just
- 15:21Speaker 1: known to be a very happy, loving couple that were
- 15:23Speaker 1: fun to be around, and according to their kids, they
- 15:26Speaker 1: had both recently retired. John retired from his landscaping company
- 15:30Speaker 1: that he owned, and Michelle retired from her financial advisory job,
- 15:34Speaker 1: and the two of them were apparently both just really
- 15:36Speaker 1: excited about retirement life. They were excited to spend more
- 15:40Speaker 1: time together and go out with their friends and go
- 15:42Speaker 1: out fishing on their boat with their dog, and then
- 15:45Speaker 1: also spend as much time as they could just lounging
- 15:47Speaker 1: back in their garage. John and Michelle's neighbor across the
- 15:50Speaker 1: street was a middle aged man named Jeff Fisher.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Jeff was fairly close with the couple.
- 15:54Speaker 1: He would usually watch their dogs anytime they went away,
- 15:57Speaker 1: and he would often go in their garage and have
- 15:59Speaker 1: a drinks and just kind of hang out with them.
- 16:01Speaker 1: And so this particular night, he was over in his
- 16:04Speaker 1: house and he was going to bed early, so he
- 16:06Speaker 1: laid down in his bed.
- 16:07Speaker 2: He's getting ready to go to sleep.
- 16:08Speaker 1: When he hears some strange sounds coming from outside his
- 16:11Speaker 1: window across the street over near John and Michelle's property,
- 16:14Speaker 1: and so Jeff sits up in his bed and kind
- 16:16Speaker 1: of strains his ears to see what it was that
- 16:18Speaker 1: he heard. And as he's trying to listen for some
- 16:21Speaker 1: faint sound, he suddenly hears a blood curdling scream, a
- 16:25Speaker 1: woman's scream, coming from across the street, and so Jeff
- 16:29Speaker 1: instantly leapt into action. He jumped out of his bed,
- 16:31Speaker 1: he ran downstairs, and he ran out in his front door,
- 16:35Speaker 1: and he looked across the street and he saw this
- 16:37Speaker 1: unknown man, some young man that was slamming the car
- 16:41Speaker 1: door of Michelle's car that was parked in her driveway,
- 16:44Speaker 1: and he begins walking up the driveway, and at the
- 16:47Speaker 1: top of the driveway, Jeff sees Michelle is standing in
- 16:50Speaker 1: the garage and she looks totally terrified, and she's facing.
- 16:53Speaker 2: This unknown young man. And of course this unknown young
- 16:57Speaker 2: man was Austin Harraw.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Now Jeff had no idea what was actually going on.
- 17:02Speaker 1: All he knew was he heard this scream, which was
- 17:04Speaker 1: probably Michelle, and he's looking out there and he's seeing
- 17:07Speaker 1: a situation that just doesn't look good, and so instinctively
- 17:10Speaker 1: he decided he would just run across the street and
- 17:12Speaker 1: make sure Michelle was okay, and if he had to,
- 17:15Speaker 1: he would confront this unknown man Austin. So Jeff begins
- 17:19Speaker 1: running across his property, trying to get across the street
- 17:22Speaker 1: to Michelle. But before he could even get across the street.
- 17:26Speaker 1: He's looking up and he can see this guy, Austin
- 17:29Speaker 1: has grabbed Michelle and thrown her on the ground and
- 17:33Speaker 1: now he's on top of her and he's beating her.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And so Jeff runs onto the driveway and as he's
- 17:38Speaker 1: going right up the driveway between the two cars that
- 17:40Speaker 1: were parked there, Austin leaps off of Michelle. He turns
- 17:44Speaker 1: around and he looks at Jeff and he says, you
- 17:46Speaker 1: don't want a part of this. And now Jeff, he's
- 17:48Speaker 1: a pretty big guy, and so he's looking at Austin
- 17:51Speaker 1: and he knows that if he doesn't do anything, this
- 17:53Speaker 1: guy is just going to continue pummeling poor Michelle.
- 17:56Speaker 2: And he had no idea where John.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Was, and so he ran up and kind of plunged
- 18:00Speaker 1: at Austin, and as he did that, Austin swung and
- 18:03Speaker 1: he hit Jeff right across the side of the head.
- 18:06Speaker 1: But Jeff took the hit. He didn't fall down. He
- 18:08Speaker 1: grabbed Austin by the collar and threw him as hard
- 18:11Speaker 1: as he could to the ground, and Austin he hit
- 18:14Speaker 1: the pavement hard, face first. And so Jeff is looking
- 18:17Speaker 1: at the sky kind of thinking he's not going to
- 18:18Speaker 1: get up, but as he's assessing the situation watching Austin
- 18:22Speaker 1: stand back up again, Jeff suddenly feels a blinding pain
- 18:26Speaker 1: in his face, in the side of his head, and
- 18:28Speaker 1: his neck, on his back.
- 18:29Speaker 2: And he looks down and he sees blood all over
- 18:32Speaker 2: his arms. It's everywhere. He's covered in blood.
- 18:34Speaker 1: It would turn out Austin was carrying a knife, and
- 18:37Speaker 1: so when he punched Jeff, that knife went into his face.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It cut the side of his head, cut his neck,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and cut his back. He had five different puncture points
- 18:45Speaker 1: from that one swing, and so Jeff believed at the
- 18:48Speaker 1: time this was a potentially fatal wound. He was worried,
- 18:51Speaker 1: perhaps as Juggular had been struck and he was bleeding
- 18:53Speaker 1: to death, and he's seeing Austin stand back up, coming
- 18:56Speaker 1: right after him with the knife, and so Jeff decides
- 18:59Speaker 1: their only answers for him to run and call the police,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and so he runs into Michelle's property. He's thinking that
- 19:05Speaker 1: he's kind of drawing this guy towards him away from Michelle.
- 19:08Speaker 2: He runs into their property, kind of slams into all
- 19:11Speaker 2: their doors.
- 19:11Speaker 1: He goes out of back door and then he loops
- 19:13Speaker 1: around the property and then he makes a run for it,
- 19:15Speaker 1: straight across the street to his house. Never once did
- 19:18Speaker 1: he turn around to see if this guy was after him.
- 19:20Speaker 1: He figured he was right behind him. He gets to
- 19:23Speaker 1: his house, he runs inside, he locks the door, and
- 19:25Speaker 1: then he calls nine to one more a medical young
- 19:29Speaker 1: man beating up a woman.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Across the streets, either of them injured? Can you tell
- 19:34Speaker 2: from where you are? Yeah, there's a girl laying on
- 19:37Speaker 2: the ground. He beat her up. I ran over there.
- 19:40Speaker 2: I'm bleeding profusely here at the moment. Okay, I don't
- 19:43Speaker 2: know what happened. Can you tell if she's conscious?
- 19:46Speaker 1: No, he does not appear so. No, I've been stabbed
- 19:49Speaker 1: in the back and I'm bleeding pretty bad. After the
- 19:51Speaker 1: call is placed and Jeff is certain that help is
- 19:53Speaker 1: on the way, he's barely conscious. But all he can
- 19:56Speaker 1: remember thinking was I hope this maniac Austin has abandoned
- 20:01Speaker 1: his attack and just run off, or I hope John
- 20:05Speaker 1: has come outside and he's helping his wife. But unfortunately,
- 20:09Speaker 1: all Jeff could hear was the sound of Austin across
- 20:12Speaker 1: the street making these loud, animalistic grunting sounds, and at
- 20:16Speaker 1: the same time he hears the sound of someone screaming
- 20:20Speaker 1: at the top of their lungs. He doesn't even know
- 20:22Speaker 1: if it's one person, if it's two people, if it's male,
- 20:25Speaker 1: if it's female. All he hears is screams and grunting sounds,
- 20:29Speaker 1: and then seconds later the police show up. The following
- 20:31Speaker 1: narrative is the account of the second responding officer who
- 20:35Speaker 1: will just call Dan and the first responding officer will
- 20:39Speaker 1: just call Kristin. And so Dan he comes flying down
- 20:42Speaker 1: the street. He's got his sirens on, and he pulls
- 20:44Speaker 1: in right behind Kristen's cop car, which is parked right
- 20:46Speaker 1: out in front of John and Michelle's property. Kristen is
- 20:49Speaker 1: already running up the driveway, her gun is out. She's
- 20:52Speaker 1: getting ready to engage somebody at the top of the driveway,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and so Dan he hops out of his car. He's
- 20:58Speaker 1: got his hand on his gun, and as he turns
- 21:00Speaker 1: to run up the driveway, his view is obscured. There
- 21:03Speaker 1: are two cars parked in the driveway, and so he
- 21:05Speaker 1: can't see what's at the top of the driveway that
- 21:08Speaker 1: Kristen is apparently getting ready to draw her gun on.
- 21:11Speaker 1: But as he begins running up the driveway, he sees
- 21:14Speaker 1: there is this massive six foot wide stream of blood
- 21:18Speaker 1: just coming down the driveway, and so he goes around
- 21:21Speaker 1: the left side of the left car.
- 21:23Speaker 2: He goes up and he sees Kristen right at the
- 21:25Speaker 2: top of the driveway.
- 21:26Speaker 1: She's got her gun aimed at the ground right in
- 21:28Speaker 1: front of the car, so he can't see what's in
- 21:30Speaker 1: front of the car yet. He comes bombing around the
- 21:33Speaker 1: left side right behind Kristen and he looks down at
- 21:36Speaker 1: what she's aiming her gun at, and he sees there's
- 21:39Speaker 1: this man lying on the ground. His eyes are open.
- 21:42Speaker 1: He's just laying there kind of stiff, and he's looking
- 21:44Speaker 1: up at Kristin and he's looking up at Dan and
- 21:46Speaker 1: he's just quietly saying, please help me. The man on
- 21:49Speaker 1: the ground was John Stevens, and on top of John
- 21:53Speaker 1: Stevens was Austin. He's kind of laying sideways on John's chest.
- 21:57Speaker 1: He had his left arm wrapped around John's to kind
- 22:00Speaker 1: of hold him in place, and then he had his
- 22:02Speaker 1: right arm and he was doing something to John's face.
- 22:04Speaker 1: But Dan couldn't really tell what he was doing. All
- 22:07Speaker 1: he could take in was there was clearly an aggressor
- 22:10Speaker 1: and they needed to get him off of the victim,
- 22:13Speaker 1: but Kristin could not take the shot because if she did,
- 22:17Speaker 1: she ran the risk of firing the bullet through Austin
- 22:20Speaker 1: into John, killing John. And so Dan tells Kristen hold on,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna tase him, and so he moves around Kristen
- 22:26Speaker 1: to her left side, so he's positioned looking down at
- 22:29Speaker 1: the back of Austin. He pulls out his taser, and
- 22:32Speaker 1: right before he shoots his taser into Austin's back, he
- 22:35Speaker 1: sees what Austin is doing to John's face. With his
- 22:39Speaker 1: free right hand. He was reaching into John's mouth and
- 22:43Speaker 1: pulling his cheek out, kind of like a fish shook.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He's pulling out as far as he could, and then
- 22:47Speaker 1: he was biting into John's cheek and he's ripping out
- 22:51Speaker 1: pieces of flesh and chewing and swallowing them. And from
- 22:55Speaker 1: his position, Dan only saw this for a second, but
- 22:57Speaker 1: he suddenly noticed and Kristin, the other officer, would later
- 23:01Speaker 1: confirm there were all these chunks already missing from John's face,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and so Dan kind of snapped out of what he
- 23:06Speaker 1: was seeing and fired his taser into the back of Austin,
- 23:10Speaker 1: but it did nothing. It had absolutely no effect. Austin
- 23:14Speaker 1: was entirely focused on biting John's face.
- 23:18Speaker 2: That was all he was doing.
- 23:19Speaker 1: He wasn't even registering that there were cops with their
- 23:22Speaker 1: guns drawn on him.
- 23:23Speaker 2: It was like they weren't even there.
- 23:24Speaker 1: And so Dan runs back around Kristin to the other
- 23:27Speaker 1: side of her. He's now on her right side, so
- 23:29Speaker 1: he's standing right next to the car, looking.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Down at Austin's front.
- 23:32Speaker 1: He tells Kristin to kind of back up for a second,
- 23:35Speaker 1: and then Dan winds up and kicks Austin swear in
- 23:38Speaker 1: the face, knocking his head off of John's face. But
- 23:41Speaker 1: as soon as Austin comes off of John, he doesn't
- 23:44Speaker 1: get up and try to fight with Dan. Instead, he
- 23:46Speaker 1: just jumps back down, gets a deeper grip on John,
- 23:50Speaker 1: and plunges his mouth back onto John's face.
- 23:53Speaker 2: And so again Dan winds.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Up and boots Austin square in the face, knocking his
- 23:58Speaker 1: head back. But again he's totally unfazed. He doesn't want
- 24:01Speaker 1: to attack the officers. He just wants to eat John's face,
- 24:05Speaker 1: and so he goes right back down, gets a tighter grip,
- 24:08Speaker 1: he goes back and he starts chewing on John's face again,
- 24:10Speaker 1: and so Dan was just repeatedly kicking him in the
- 24:13Speaker 1: face over and over and over again. Right as another
- 24:17Speaker 1: set of officers showed up and they had a canine,
- 24:20Speaker 1: they had a dog, and so they come flying up
- 24:22Speaker 1: they kind of see the situation and Dan tells them
- 24:24Speaker 1: release the dog.
- 24:25Speaker 2: And so sure enough, they release the canine.
- 24:27Speaker 1: The canine clamps down on Austin's right arm, the arm
- 24:30Speaker 1: that was fish hooking and kind of pulling John's face out,
- 24:33Speaker 1: and the dog really got a good bite on his
- 24:35Speaker 1: arm and yanked it away from John's face. But Austin
- 24:39Speaker 1: just instantly ripped his arm back, doing severe damage to
- 24:42Speaker 1: his arm from the dog's teeth, and just repositioned himself
- 24:46Speaker 1: and went back to biting John's face. And so the dog,
- 24:48Speaker 1: just as it was trained, did another bite. It grabbed
- 24:51Speaker 1: back on to Austin's arm and it pulled it off
- 24:54Speaker 1: of John's body, and so his arm is back like
- 24:56Speaker 1: this again, and Austin, again unfazed, just gan his arm
- 25:00Speaker 1: out of the dog's teeth again, shredding the muscles of
- 25:03Speaker 1: his arm and gets back in position and continues to
- 25:06Speaker 1: eat John's face. And then finally the dog gets another
- 25:09Speaker 1: bite into Austin's arm, and this time, when the dog
- 25:12Speaker 1: managed to yank Austin's arm away from John, Dan timed
- 25:16Speaker 1: it so he booted Austin's swear in the face right
- 25:19Speaker 1: as his arm was being pulled back, and he hit
- 25:21Speaker 1: him hard enough that Austin actually flew off of John
- 25:25Speaker 1: and landed on his back.
- 25:26Speaker 2: And as soon as he was on the ground.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Dan actually leapt over John and landed on Austin's face,
- 25:32Speaker 1: smashing his head into the cement, which kind of stunned
- 25:35Speaker 1: him for a second. And as soon as he was stunned,
- 25:37Speaker 1: Dan whipped out his handcuffs, threw it over one of
- 25:40Speaker 1: Austin's wrists, and began pulling him by the handcuff up
- 25:44Speaker 1: the driveway, away from John.
- 25:46Speaker 2: But as soon as he had some separation and Dan.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Went to put the other handcuff on Austin, Austin began
- 25:52Speaker 1: fighting back, and he looked up at Dan and he.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Screamed, kill me. I'm eating humans. Kill me.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Dan didn't even know what to do, and so he's
- 25:59Speaker 1: trying to put the other handcuff on him.
- 26:01Speaker 2: The whole time Austin is screaming kill me, kill me,
- 26:04Speaker 2: and so.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Other officers had to run in and then finally, after
- 26:07Speaker 1: three other officers came over, they were able to hold
- 26:10Speaker 1: Austin down long enough to get both handcuffs on him.
- 26:13Speaker 1: After Austin was finally restrained, the officers checked on the victims.
- 26:17Speaker 2: They checked on Michelle, who was.
- 26:19Speaker 1: In the garage, and unfortunately, she was deceased. She had
- 26:22Speaker 1: died from blunt force trauma.
- 26:24Speaker 2: And John, even though he had been alive when.
- 26:27Speaker 1: The police first showed up, he had succumbed to the
- 26:30Speaker 1: multitude of injuries he had sustained, from stabbings to beatings
- 26:34Speaker 1: to having a portion of his face ripped off. It's
- 26:36Speaker 1: believed after John came back from his walk, which would
- 26:39Speaker 1: have been right after Jeff had been attacked, and ran
- 26:42Speaker 1: back to his house, John saw Austin in his garage
- 26:45Speaker 1: attacking his wife, and John ran in to try to
- 26:48Speaker 1: save her. So ultimately John would die trying to save
- 26:51Speaker 1: the woman that he loved.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Their dog would survive the attack.
- 26:54Speaker 1: It was unharmed and it was given to one of
- 26:56Speaker 1: their children to take care of.
- 26:57Speaker 2: And Jeff Fisher, the.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Neighbor who tried to save John and Michelle, he would
- 27:02Speaker 1: survive the attack and make a full recovery. After Austin
- 27:05Speaker 1: was finally handcuffed and was laying restrained on the driveway,
- 27:08Speaker 1: he suddenly became unresponsive. He was rushed to the hospital,
- 27:12Speaker 1: where it was determined he had drank some poisonous chemicals,
- 27:15Speaker 1: most likely from inside of John and Michelle's garage, and
- 27:19Speaker 1: that was what was causing his organs to fail. Ultimately,
- 27:22Speaker 1: Austin would go into a coma for eleven days from
- 27:25Speaker 1: whatever he ingested, but the doctors were able to save
- 27:28Speaker 1: his life and so he would come out of that
- 27:30Speaker 1: coma and he would make a full physical recovery. It
- 27:33Speaker 1: was initially assumed that, because of Austin's drug abuse history,
- 27:37Speaker 1: that he must have been on some drug when he
- 27:40Speaker 1: perpetrated this heinous crime. It was speculated that he could
- 27:43Speaker 1: have been on bath salts or flakka, which are these
- 27:45Speaker 1: synthetic hallucinogenic drugs which are very powerful and at the
- 27:49Speaker 1: time they were quite popular in Florida, and they'd caused
- 27:52Speaker 1: some other users to go on these kind of wild,
- 27:54Speaker 1: violent rampages, and so it seemed to make a lot
- 27:57Speaker 1: of sense that he must have been on one of those.
- 28:00Speaker 1: But when Austin's toxicology report finally came back, it showed
- 28:04Speaker 1: he only had a very small amount of THCHC in
- 28:07Speaker 1: his system, which is the drug found in marijuana, and
- 28:10Speaker 1: then the other drugs that were in his system were
- 28:13Speaker 1: all induced by the doctors and nurses at the hospital,
- 28:16Speaker 1: which meant at the time of this attack, Austin was
- 28:20Speaker 1: effectively sober. When the police asked Austin, why did you
- 28:23Speaker 1: do this, he initially said, I don't remember, I don't know,
- 28:27Speaker 1: but eventually he would open up and he would tell
- 28:29Speaker 1: this story that no sane.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Person could possibly understand.
- 28:33Speaker 1: He said, after he left that restaurant where his family
- 28:36Speaker 1: was that third time, after he fought with his father
- 28:39Speaker 1: and he stormed out after that, he saw this dark
- 28:42Speaker 1: figure outside with a white face, and he knew immediately
- 28:45Speaker 1: that this figure was evil, and so instinctively Austin began
- 28:49Speaker 1: running away from this evil figure. And so he ran
- 28:52Speaker 1: about four miles into John and Michelle's neighborhood. And when
- 28:56Speaker 1: he got to this neighborhood, a neighborhood he was not
- 28:58Speaker 1: familiar with that he didn't tend to go to on purpose.
- 29:01Speaker 2: He just kind of wound up there.
- 29:03Speaker 1: He said, he saw this brightly lit up garage and
- 29:06Speaker 1: he ran up into it, believing he could enlist the
- 29:09Speaker 1: help of the people inside of this house and that
- 29:12Speaker 1: they would help him defeat this evil figure that was
- 29:15Speaker 1: lurking somewhere nearby.
- 29:17Speaker 2: And so he runs up into this garage.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Which happens to be John and Michelle's garage, and Michelle
- 29:22Speaker 1: is in there.
- 29:23Speaker 2: John is not, he's out for the walk with his dog.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And Austin approaches her and tries to get her to
- 29:28Speaker 1: help him, but he probably came off looking completely insane,
- 29:31Speaker 1: and Michelle screamed, at which point Austin said he believed
- 29:35Speaker 1: Michelle was a witch, and so he pulled out his
- 29:38Speaker 1: knife and he attacked her. And then after she fell
- 29:40Speaker 1: to the ground, Austin said he drank a bottle of
- 29:43Speaker 1: alcohol or something which we now know was most likely
- 29:46Speaker 1: very poisonous lawn chemicals that was just in the garage.
- 29:50Speaker 1: After he drinks that bottle, he turns around and now
- 29:52Speaker 1: he's looking out of the garage towards the street, and
- 29:55Speaker 1: he said he saw this other figure in the doorway
- 29:57Speaker 1: with a dog next to him, and then Austin said
- 30:00Speaker 1: his mind just went blank. It's believed the figure he
- 30:03Speaker 1: saw in the doorway was John Stevens returning from his walk,
- 30:06Speaker 1: but we don't know for sure.
- 30:08Speaker 2: And frankly, this story is pretty.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Incoherent to begin with, because it doesn't account for the
- 30:12Speaker 1: fact that before John came back, Austin had been grappling
- 30:15Speaker 1: with Jeff Fisher and stabbing Jeff Fisher the neighbor. But
- 30:18Speaker 1: Austin would say he has no recollection of encountering Jeff Fisher,
- 30:22Speaker 1: he has no recollection of John or what he looked like,
- 30:24Speaker 1: and he certainly doesn't remember biting John's face, and he
- 30:27Speaker 1: had no memory of any interactions with police. He said
- 30:30Speaker 1: that basically, he turned around, he sees his figure of
- 30:32Speaker 1: this dog, and then his mind went blank, and then
- 30:35Speaker 1: he woke up about two weeks later in the hospital. Now,
- 30:38Speaker 1: when his story went public, a lot of people just
- 30:40Speaker 1: were not willing to accept that story. They said he
- 30:43Speaker 1: was making it up so he could plead insanity at
- 30:46Speaker 1: his trial and get a lesser sentence. But a world
- 30:49Speaker 1: renowned forensic psychologist named Philip Resnik, who had worked on
- 30:52Speaker 1: many high profile cases before, he did a lengthy assessment
- 30:57Speaker 1: of Austin, and he came to a very different conclude
- 31:00Speaker 1: usion than the public. In his thirty eight page report.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Resnik points out the fact that Austin continued to bite
- 31:06Speaker 1: John's face even when he was being openly threatened with
- 31:10Speaker 1: being shot by the police officers standing right over him.
- 31:13Speaker 2: He continued to.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Bite John's face after he was tased. He continued to
- 31:17Speaker 1: bite John's face after he was kicked in the head repeatedly.
- 31:19Speaker 1: He continued to bite John's face after a dog repeatedly
- 31:22Speaker 1: bit him. This all suggests that Austin was truly in
- 31:26Speaker 1: a psychotic state when this attack occurred. A sane person,
- 31:30Speaker 1: even under the influence of drugs, will retain a basic
- 31:34Speaker 1: survival instinct. They will try to protect themselves, so when
- 31:37Speaker 1: their guns pointed at them, or they're being physically harmed,
- 31:40Speaker 1: or there's threats of violence, they'll do things to protect themselves.
- 31:43Speaker 2: But Austin didn't.
- 31:45Speaker 1: It was like he had no idea about anything else
- 31:48Speaker 1: except John's face. Resnik specified that the type of psychotic
- 31:53Speaker 1: episode that Austin was suffering from on the night of
- 31:56Speaker 1: the attack is something called clinical lycanthropy delusions. Clinical lycanthropy
- 32:01Speaker 1: is a very rare occurrence where an individual believes they
- 32:05Speaker 1: are no longer human, and almost always what they believe
- 32:08Speaker 1: they are is something akin to a werewolf, and in
- 32:12Speaker 1: Austin's case, it's not that hard to figure out why
- 32:15Speaker 1: you might reach that type of conclusion. He had told
- 32:17Speaker 1: his sister that he believed he was half horse, and
- 32:20Speaker 1: then on a couple other occasions he had told his
- 32:22Speaker 1: other friends that he believed he was half dog. And then,
- 32:25Speaker 1: of course, on the night of the attack, after he
- 32:27Speaker 1: killed Michelle, he pounced literally on John and began eating
- 32:32Speaker 1: his face while making those loud, animalistic grunting sounds. This
- 32:36Speaker 1: is behavior that is certainly on par with what you
- 32:39Speaker 1: would expect a werewolf.
- 32:40Speaker 2: To do in a movie. But this was not a movie.
- 32:44Speaker 2: This was real life.
- 32:45Speaker 1: After Austin came out of his coma, but before he
- 32:48Speaker 1: had been transferred to jail, he agreed to do an
- 32:51Speaker 1: interview with the clinical psychologist TV personality Phil McGraw, better
- 32:56Speaker 1: known as Doctor Phil, and during their ten minute zoom interview,
- 33:00Speaker 1: Austin would break down and cry and say he was
- 33:02Speaker 1: incredibly sorry to the family of the victims, that he
- 33:05Speaker 1: didn't really know why it happened, and that clearly there
- 33:07Speaker 1: was something wrong with him and he needed help and
- 33:10Speaker 1: he just hoped they could find it in their hearts
- 33:12Speaker 1: to eventually forgive him, but it's unlikely the family of
- 33:15Speaker 1: the victims are going to forgive him anytime soon, especially
- 33:18Speaker 1: when you consider they came out in an interview and said,
- 33:21Speaker 1: I hope Austin makes a full recovery from his coma,
- 33:25Speaker 1: that he has no brain damage, that he is totally
- 33:27Speaker 1: aoka so he can be fully aware and lucid when
- 33:31Speaker 1: they read him his sentence, a sentence they hoped would
- 33:35Speaker 1: be the death penalty. As of right now, though, the
- 33:37Speaker 1: family of the victims will just have to keep on
- 33:39Speaker 1: waiting because Austin is still in jail a waiting trial,
- 33:42Speaker 1: So that's going to do it. Guys, if you got
