- 0:05Speaker 1: Prosecutors alleged that a thirteen year old boy who killed
- 0:08Speaker 1: his mother in twenty twenty three was inspired by the
- 0:11Speaker 1: Friday the Thirteenth horror franchise. Derek Rosa is charged with
- 0:15Speaker 1: fatally stabbing his mother forty six times as she slept
- 0:19Speaker 1: near her newborn daughter and they're highly a home. Rosa
- 0:22Speaker 1: is set to stand trial early next year, and prosecutors
- 0:25Speaker 1: are seeking to have various materials submitted, including evidence that
- 0:29Speaker 1: Rosa told friends he was going to be Jason Vorhees
- 0:32Speaker 1: for Halloween. Rosa reportedly told his friends, I'm doing Jason.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Prosecutors also claimed Rosa intentionally killed his mother an hour
- 0:40Speaker 1: before Friday, October thirteenth, twenty twenty three, or Friday the thirteenth.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Rosa conducted various online searches hours before the slaying, including
- 0:50Speaker 1: where is the best place to stab someone? Is a
- 0:53Speaker 1: small knife good for killing the carotid artery? And cannon
- 0:56Speaker 1: knife cut through bone. Additionally, Rosa allegedly shared foot of
- 1:00Speaker 1: an army veteran's twenty twenty suicide with his friends and
- 1:03Speaker 1: girlfriend before and on the day of his mother's murder,
- 1:06Speaker 1: Rosa laughed and described the graphic video as funny. Prosecutors
- 1:10Speaker 1: said the newest batch of evidence highlights Rosa's morbid fascination
- 1:14Speaker 1: with blood, death, and gore. After the slaying, Rosa told
- 1:17Speaker 1: investigators how he woke up, got a kitchen knife, and
- 1:20Speaker 1: repeatedly stabbed his mother. He also sent a friend two
- 1:23Speaker 1: photos of his mother and a selfie which showed blood
- 1:26Speaker 1: on his hands. The team told a nine to one
- 1:28Speaker 1: to one dispatcher that he sent pictures of his dead
- 1:31Speaker 1: mother to someone he met online. He went on to
- 1:33Speaker 1: tell the dispatcher, there was blood all over the floor.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I took picture and I told my friend about it.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Was that bad? Do you talk old about it? My friend?
- 1:44Speaker 1: Your friends? That you sent pictures to your friends? So
- 1:47Speaker 1: what you did? Yeah? I didn't really the pictures off
- 1:50Speaker 1: my phone, but I sent him to him and I
- 1:52Speaker 1: told him I was sorry. And then let's go by.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I need to know if your mom's age breathing? Keep
- 1:59Speaker 1: dead man right all over the floor? Okay, why did
- 2:03Speaker 1: you kill your mom? I need to know. Do you
- 2:05Speaker 1: think we can help your mom? Let's seat that over here.
- 2:12Speaker 1: What I knew Rosa's charge as an adult with first
- 2:14Speaker 1: degree murder. A hearing for the latest motion is scheduled
- 2:17Speaker 1: for later this month. A Michigan man whose three sons
- 2:21Speaker 1: vanished in twenty ten was charged with their murders. On Wednesday,
- 2:25Speaker 1: John Skelton was charged in Lenawee County with three counts
- 2:28Speaker 1: of homicide, open murder, and tambering with evidence. Skelton has
- 2:32Speaker 1: been jailed since twenty eleven for kidnapping his three sons, Andrew, Alexander,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and Tanner, and his release was scheduled for November twenty ninth.
- 2:41Speaker 1: In March, the missing boy's mother, Tanya Zuvers, was granted
- 2:44Speaker 1: a petition to have them declared legally dead. However, the
- 2:47Speaker 1: judge ruled there was insufficient evidence proving they were murdered
- 2:51Speaker 1: honor about November twenty six, twenty ten, or that their
- 2:54Speaker 1: father killed them. Zuvers had sole custody of the boys
- 2:57Speaker 1: as she and Skelton were in the middle of a divorce.
- 3:00Speaker 1: They had spent the holiday with their father and their
- 3:02Speaker 1: mother was to pick them up the next day. John
- 3:05Speaker 1: Skelton told investigators multiple stories about the boy's disappearance, including
- 3:09Speaker 1: claiming he gave them to an organization to protect them
- 3:12Speaker 1: from their mother, who he said was abusive, claims she denied.
- 3:16Speaker 1: FBI special agent Corey Burra said Skelton searched online about
- 3:20Speaker 1: how to break a neck, potassium cyanide, and rat poison
- 3:24Speaker 1: the same month his sons disappeared. The FBI agent also
- 3:27Speaker 1: alleged that Skelton addressed Zuvers in a suicide note, stating
- 3:31Speaker 1: you will hate me. Burah said he believed the note
- 3:34Speaker 1: implied that he had killed their sons. Skelton appeared virtually
- 3:38Speaker 1: at March's hearing to declare his sons legally dead. He
- 3:41Speaker 1: did not provide any information about their whereabouts. Quote, I'm
- 3:44Speaker 1: at a disadvantage. Anything I say isn't going to make
- 3:48Speaker 1: a difference. More crime and justice news after this. A
- 3:53Speaker 1: convicted rapist and his girlfriend were sentenced Thursday after they
- 3:56Speaker 1: pleaded guilty to a murder for higher plot against the

- 4:16Speaker 1: the same charges and was sentenced to two to six
- 4:19Speaker 1: years in prison. Kais and Gator made their plans and
