Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grease.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Did you ever go away to camp? I did four
- 0:17Speaker 2: h camp and I got to go between fifth grade
- 0:20Speaker 2: and sixth grade. It was one week. It was the
- 0:22Speaker 2: biggest thing that happened to me in rural Bibb County.
- 0:28Speaker 2: It was very well supervised. I had a great time
- 0:32Speaker 2: and excelled in tree identification. Explain to me why a
- 0:40Speaker 2: twelve year old boy is dead after roughly one day,
- 0:48Speaker 2: not even one day at camp. Now there are reports
- 0:54Speaker 2: this twelve year old little boy had a panic attack. Really, Now,
- 1:02Speaker 2: I'm just a JD. I'm not an MD. But as
- 1:06Speaker 2: far as I know, a panic attack does not result
- 1:11Speaker 2: in frothing at the mouth and death. Now, as we
- 1:17Speaker 2: look into a so called wellness camp in North Carolina,
- 1:24Speaker 2: we find out there have been multiple claims of sex
- 1:29Speaker 2: assault on children. Children. You know, my parents worked so hard.
- 1:35Speaker 2: My mom is a bank teller working her way up
- 1:38Speaker 2: the ladder, my dad working in night shift for the railroad.
- 1:43Speaker 2: They had to work hard just to pay for four
- 1:46Speaker 2: age camp. And I remember it was thirty six dollars
- 1:49Speaker 2: in something since yes, that had to be taken out
- 1:53Speaker 2: of the grocery money. I remember it happening so I
- 1:57Speaker 2: could go to four age camp. You send your children
- 2:00Speaker 2: to camp, and you think you're doing something good for them,
- 2:03Speaker 2: giving them enrichment, making new friends, going for wellness. This
- 2:10Speaker 2: boy is dead and I want answers, not a bunch
- 2:16Speaker 2: of bs about a panic attack. I Nancy Grace, this
- 2:20Speaker 2: is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us here
- 2:23Speaker 2: at Crime Stories and on Serious SEXM one eleven. First
- 2:27Speaker 2: of all, what do we know happened? Listen?
- 2:30Speaker 3: The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office said when they arrived at Trails,
- 2:35Speaker 3: Carolina for an unresponsive participant, medics found evidence that CPR
- 2:40Speaker 3: had been performed, but the child appeared deceased for some time.
- 2:45Speaker 3: But now, in an odd twist of trust, the Wilderness
- 2:48Speaker 3: Therapy comp in North Carolina is refusing to allow investigators
- 2:53Speaker 3: to talk to staff or juvenile's present when the twelve
- 2:56Speaker 3: year old died. According to a search warrant, the boy
- 2:59Speaker 3: suffer to panic attack the night he arrived at the camp,
- 3:03Speaker 3: and the next morning he was found cold, stiff, and
- 3:06Speaker 3: frothing at the mouth, not being able to talk to
- 3:09Speaker 3: staff or campers. It is unclear what caused the boy
- 3:13Speaker 3: to present with frothing from the mouth. According to an
- 3:16Speaker 3: affidavit from the detective that got the search warrant, froth
- 3:20Speaker 3: about the mouth could indicate he ingested some sort of poison.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Guys, I have an all star panel to make sense
- 3:26Speaker 2: of what we're learning right now, including a young woman
- 3:31Speaker 2: who went as a child to Trails Carolina. She's gonna
- 3:36Speaker 2: tell us about her experience. But why all the focus
- 3:41Speaker 2: on the camp now that a little boy is dead?
- 3:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I would have to go burn the place
- 3:47Speaker 2: down if something happened to my child after I send
- 3:51Speaker 2: them to camp. But I'm trying to understand something. For
- 3:55Speaker 2: a straight out to Nick Oxenar, executive producer, chief investigator,
- 4:00Speaker 2: reporter wb TV, he has been investigating Trails Carolina since
- 4:06Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Kind of hate to ask why since
- 4:10Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. I'm sure I'm going to get to that,
- 4:12Speaker 2: But first, Nick Oxer, thank you for being with us.
- 4:15Speaker 2: How is this place build? I know it's a North
- 4:18Speaker 2: Carolina wellness camp. Efforty. Anybody that can't see me, you
- 4:21Speaker 2: can only hear me. Don't worry. I'm doing air quotes
- 4:25Speaker 2: because there's nothing well about this where a twelve year
- 4:28Speaker 2: old boy died. Now we're learning it's more like a
- 4:32Speaker 2: cruel boot camp.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Well, so this this camp is billed as a wilderness
- 4:37Speaker 4: therapy camp, and so in theory, parents send their children
- 4:40Speaker 4: there to get therapy and you know, address maybe mental
- 4:46Speaker 4: health or behavioral issues. I've interviewed a number of people
- 4:50Speaker 4: who attended this camp over a number of years now,
- 4:54Speaker 4: and one of the last questions I asked every person
- 4:58Speaker 4: who went there is did you get much therapy? And
- 5:01Speaker 4: the best I can tell is this camp provides about
- 5:05Speaker 4: thirty minutes to an hour of therapy about once a week.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Okay, well, wait, why you know, Nick Oxner? You got
- 5:11Speaker 2: me changing from the fire hunching because every other word
- 5:14Speaker 2: you say, I'm trying to write it down very quickly.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Nick Oxner joining US chief investigative reporter and an EP
- 5:21Speaker 2: at WBTV, curious, why did you start investigating this so
- 5:28Speaker 2: called wellness camp in North Carolina in twenty twenty one?
- 5:32Speaker 2: What led you there in twenty twenty one.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a call from a concerned parent who
- 5:39Speaker 4: was looking at sending their child there and started doing
- 5:42Speaker 4: some research and said, we have some questions about this place,
- 5:45Speaker 4: and so it got on my radar, and that I
- 5:47Speaker 4: learned that a child had died at this facility or
- 5:52Speaker 4: in this program back in twenty fourteen, a seventeen year old,
- 5:57Speaker 4: and it piqued my interest even more. And the more
- 6:00Speaker 4: we started talking to folks, the more it was clear
- 6:02Speaker 4: that there was a story here.
- 6:04Speaker 2: You know, I'm very curious about the teen boy. I
- 6:06Speaker 2: believe you're referring to Alec Lansing. Is that correct?
- 6:09Speaker 4: Yes?
- 6:10Speaker 2: So is he the teen boy that left the campground
- 6:15Speaker 2: and somehow ended up in a creek? Yeah, he had
- 6:18Speaker 2: an accident and then landed in the creek. I think
- 6:20Speaker 2: he was climbing a tree and landed in the creek
- 6:22Speaker 2: and he died of hypothermia. Is that is that Alec Lansing?
- 6:26Speaker 4: That is that Alec Lansing?
- 6:28Speaker 2: Yeah? I got to be a question about that too,
- 6:30Speaker 2: Nick Oxer, because it takes a minute to die of hypothermia.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You don't just fall into the creek and die. It
- 6:39Speaker 2: takes time. So how long was it that they didn't
- 6:43Speaker 2: notice a teen boy was missing? And how far was
- 6:48Speaker 2: his body found from the camp do you know that?
- 6:51Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, and that's the thing at the time. That
- 6:53Speaker 4: was another when I started looking into it that made
- 6:56Speaker 4: my eyebrow go up. Right, is that the Sheriff's office
- 6:59Speaker 4: at the time Glancing went missing and was ultimately found dead.
- 7:03Speaker 4: They said, look, had the camp called us as soon
- 7:06Speaker 4: as they knew he was gone and we started a
- 7:08Speaker 4: search right away, we probably would have been able to
- 7:11Speaker 4: find him. Instead, they waited, you know, twelve eighteen hours
- 7:16Speaker 4: before calling nine on long.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Oh, dear Lord in heaven, that's making me sick to
- 7:21Speaker 2: my stomach because I don't know if you know, Nick Oxen,
- 7:24Speaker 2: but my children just turned sixteen and they are babes
- 7:28Speaker 2: in the woods. They you know, maybe I've kept him
- 7:31Speaker 2: in a bubble too much, but to think this boy,
- 7:36Speaker 2: this teen boy, was out there in that cold creek
- 7:39Speaker 2: water for that long and nobody called the sheriff. Oh yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 2: now I see why you were on the story. Guys.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I want to get back to the twelve year old
- 7:51Speaker 2: that was found cold, I think stiff, which is an
- 7:57Speaker 2: issue for the medical examiner because that would give me
- 8:00Speaker 2: time of death, which is really important in reconstructing what happens.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Is we're not getting any cooperation from the camp, but
- 8:08Speaker 2: I want to go to Gerty. Gerty is a special
- 8:11Speaker 2: guest joining us. Gerty was assaulted. This is her story,
- 8:19Speaker 2: I have no reason to disbelieve it at Trails Carolina.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I also want to go to doctor Bethany Marshall to
- 8:26Speaker 2: explain to me, she's a renown psycho analys joining us
- 8:29Speaker 2: out of La Beverly Hills, what is therapy camp? Because
- 8:36Speaker 2: if these children are getting one hour max. Thirty minutes
- 8:39Speaker 2: to an hour of therapy a week, that doesn't sound
- 8:42Speaker 2: like therapy camp to me. But that said doctor Bethany
- 8:46Speaker 2: before I go to Gerty set it up for me,
- 8:50Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. What is
- 8:55Speaker 2: therapy camp? Why would you send your twelve year old
- 8:59Speaker 2: boy to therapy camp? I'm not second guessing the parents
- 9:04Speaker 2: because we actually have a friend, doctor Bethany, that sent
- 9:08Speaker 2: their daughter to a therapy camp, not this therapy camp.
- 9:11Speaker 2: It turned her life around, and I'd like to report
- 9:14Speaker 2: she's doing very well her freshman year at college right now.
- 9:19Speaker 2: And we went through a lot with that family. They
- 9:21Speaker 2: went through hell trying to figure out how to help
- 9:24Speaker 2: their daughter, and this one therapy camp they went to
- 9:28Speaker 2: she went to really helped her. But this doesn't sound
- 9:34Speaker 2: anything like that to me.
- 9:35Speaker 5: You know, Nancy, probably the therapy camp or most likely
- 9:39Speaker 5: called the wilderness camp they sent their daughter to had
- 9:42Speaker 5: a lot of oversight trained clinicians, people coming in and out.
- 9:47Speaker 5: But wilderness camp, which is what this was, is where
- 9:52Speaker 5: parents send their children when all other forms of treatment
- 9:56Speaker 5: have failed. Say they've sent their their children to an
- 10:01Speaker 5: impatient psychiatric facility, to group therapy, to an individual therapist,
- 10:05Speaker 5: to family therapy, and the child is still experiencing profound deficits,
- 10:11Speaker 5: either from learning disorders, psychiatric difficulties, social difficulties.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Okay, Bethany, I believe we've discussed when you're talking to me,
- 10:20Speaker 2: you need to dummy down. Okay, I'm just a JD.
- 10:24Speaker 2: They didn't teach any of this in law school, either
- 10:26Speaker 2: at Mercery University or when I got my m at NYU.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Nobody said anything about anything. You just said, please tak
- 10:35Speaker 2: regular people taught doctor, Bethany.
- 10:38Speaker 5: Let's say you have a child with psychological difficulties. Nothing
- 10:43Speaker 5: seems to help. You send them away to a camp
- 10:47Speaker 5: that's in the wild, hoping, as you said earlier, like
- 10:51Speaker 5: your four ahe camp, that they will have loving adults
- 10:54Speaker 5: around them, they will go hiking, and while they're hiking,
- 10:57Speaker 5: they'll be talking to a therapist or sitting by a
- 11:00Speaker 5: lake and then talking to another therapist and processing everything
- 11:04Speaker 5: and they'll come back better. But while your friend had
- 11:09Speaker 5: a great experience at her camp, most of these camps
- 11:13Speaker 5: have no oversight. They are just a group of people
- 11:17Speaker 5: in a profit making setting who take kids for quote
- 11:22Speaker 5: unquote therapy. But often it becomes a culture of abuse.
- 11:26Speaker 5: And Nancy, let me tell you how they get these
- 11:30Speaker 5: kids to the camp. They go and they kid nap them.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Ooh, Dodger Bethany. I noticed when I was studying the
- 11:37Speaker 2: case that, and Nick Oxtar backed me up. I don't
- 11:41Speaker 2: know if this is correct or not, but two men.
- 11:45Speaker 2: What man took the twelve year old to the camp
- 11:48Speaker 2: all the way from New York to North Carolina? What
- 11:51Speaker 2: man I couldn't get clear on. That is it somebody
- 11:54Speaker 2: envoys that the camp sends to as doctor Bethany says,
- 11:59Speaker 2: take the.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a practice called They're referred to as goony
- 12:04Speaker 4: and basically you hire two people to show up in
- 12:06Speaker 4: the middle of the night. And I noticed from talking
- 12:08Speaker 4: to several of the former participants that I've interviewed, these
- 12:12Speaker 4: kids get woken up basically in the middle of the
- 12:14Speaker 4: night by two strangers who you know, basically drag them
- 12:18Speaker 4: out of their house and put them on an airplane
- 12:19Speaker 4: and the next thing you know, you're in the woods
- 12:21Speaker 4: of North Carolina.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Hey, Nancy, can I say something about that?
- 12:24Speaker 2: I just yeah, because I want to get to Gertie
- 12:26Speaker 2: real quick.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Okay, very quickly. I worked with Paris Hilton on her
- 12:29Speaker 5: new show. So this is not privileged material. This is
- 12:32Speaker 5: this is made public that she was kidnapped and taken
- 12:36Speaker 5: to one of these camps, as we all know, and
- 12:38Speaker 5: suffered extreme abuse while in the camp. But she told
- 12:43Speaker 5: me that she's sleeping in the middle of the night.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Two people come in. They're all dressed in that black
- 12:49Speaker 5: They kidnap her. She starts screaming, my parents are going
- 12:52Speaker 5: to find me. My parents are going to find me.
- 12:54Speaker 5: You're going to go to jail. She looks over her
- 12:56Speaker 5: shoulder and her parents are standing in the hall watching
- 13:01Speaker 5: the whole thing play out.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Okay, I just wish you could see Dr bethany everybody
- 13:06Speaker 2: here in this studio. There's Eli, there's Jamie, there's Sid
- 13:10Speaker 2: and they're all like, and you you just gave me
- 13:14Speaker 2: chills over my whole body.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I want to go to Gerdy now. Gertie, Hey love.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Gertie explains to me that she is a sex assault
- 13:43Speaker 2: victim and the assault occurred at Trails Carolina. I refer
- 13:49Speaker 2: to her as a survivor, a survivor who's telling you
- 13:54Speaker 2: her story, so maybe, just maybe this won't happen to
- 13:59Speaker 2: another child. Gerny, what happened? When we start with who
- 14:03Speaker 2: took you to Trails Carolina?
- 14:06Speaker 6: I was transported to Trails Carolina by two transporters. They
- 14:11Speaker 6: didn't take me in the middle of the night, but
- 14:13Speaker 6: I had no idea that they were going to be
- 14:15Speaker 6: at my house.
- 14:16Speaker 2: What happened? Tell me what happened.
- 14:17Speaker 6: My mom told me that there were two people who
- 14:20Speaker 6: wanted to talk to me, and I went downstairs with
- 14:22Speaker 6: her and they told me that I was going to
- 14:26Speaker 6: a summer camp and that I would be gone for
- 14:30Speaker 6: no more than a week. And then I packed a
- 14:36Speaker 6: bag and got in their car.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I understand why a lot of parents have difficulty getting
- 14:45Speaker 2: their child to camp, because child, of course doesn't want
- 14:48Speaker 2: to go. Then they'll start screaming and throwing a fit,
- 14:52Speaker 2: maybe physically fighting with the parent. But the scenario that
- 14:57Speaker 2: doctor Bethany Marshall correctly described as has been told by
- 15:01Speaker 2: Paris Hilton, sounds forcible, like a scary kidnap. You're already
- 15:06Speaker 2: what happened? When you got to.
- 15:09Speaker 6: The transporters handed me off to two new staff and
- 15:14Speaker 6: they brought me to a building where I was strip searched.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Okay, let me just say right there. Nobody's trip searched
- 15:19Speaker 2: me when I went to four H camp.
- 15:21Speaker 6: Nobody's strip searched me when I went to a real
- 15:23Speaker 6: summer camp either.
- 15:24Speaker 2: How did that go down?
- 15:26Speaker 6: They told me that I had to take my clothes off,
- 15:29Speaker 6: and I didn't know what to think. I was kind
- 15:33Speaker 6: of frozen in shock. I figured, I mean, I'm going
- 15:40Speaker 6: home in a week. I'll call my parents as soon
- 15:43Speaker 6: as this is over. I'll just get it over with.
- 15:49Speaker 6: But then I wasn't allowed to call my parents at
- 15:52Speaker 6: all the entire time I was there, and it wasn't
- 15:55Speaker 6: a week. I was at Trails for three months.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Were you getting therapy while you were there?
- 16:02Speaker 6: I met with a therapist once a week, but from
- 16:06Speaker 6: what I experienced with that therapist, I would not call
- 16:10Speaker 6: it legitimate therapy.
- 16:12Speaker 2: You have described to us that you were sex assaulted.
- 16:16Speaker 6: What happened one of the other kids in my group
- 16:21Speaker 6: had sexually assaulted two other kids before me, and the
- 16:26Speaker 6: staff and my therapist knew that this had happened, and
- 16:31Speaker 6: they did not separate us from the kid he was
- 16:34Speaker 6: doing this, and I was very scared of this kid.
- 16:38Speaker 6: I told them that I told them that I didn't
- 16:40Speaker 6: feel safe at trails, and they assigned me to sleep
- 16:44Speaker 6: next to her. I don't want to go too far
- 16:49Speaker 6: into detail about it.
- 16:51Speaker 7: That's unfortunately epidemic, and the conversations we've had with several
- 16:57Speaker 7: multiple trail survivors, I've Gerty's was the second lawsuit I
- 17:01Speaker 7: filed with almost an identical fact patterns the first lawsuit
- 17:06Speaker 7: I filed, which involved my niece, and I've had probably
- 17:11Speaker 7: ten conversations since then with various girls who have had
- 17:17Speaker 7: an experience so similar it's almost eerie.
- 17:20Speaker 2: You're hearing jenkins Man, high profile lawyer joining us out
- 17:24Speaker 2: of Columbia, South Carolina representing victims of Trail Carolina. It's
- 17:30Speaker 2: jenkins Man and you can find him at man Blake
- 17:33Speaker 2: dot com. So, Jenkins, Gerty and your niece are by
- 17:39Speaker 2: far not the only young girls who have stated they
- 17:44Speaker 2: were sex assaulted at trails Carolina.
- 17:46Speaker 7: No, absolutely not. And you know, as doctor Bethany said,
- 17:50Speaker 7: and contrasting your four age camp experience with what these
- 17:55Speaker 7: these kids have gone through. I mean, these camps are
- 17:58Speaker 7: designed to humiliate you. What Gerty's not telling you is it?
- 18:02Speaker 7: Not only has she strip searched the moment she gets there,
- 18:05Speaker 7: but she is forced to squat and cough while naked
- 18:10Speaker 7: in front of twenty one year old field staff that
- 18:14Speaker 7: has no counseling training whatsoever. These are just kids who
- 18:19Speaker 7: get a little training on the job there and are
- 18:22Speaker 7: in no way counselors or watching these girls and boys
- 18:26Speaker 7: squat and cough naked, and it just goes from there.
- 18:30Speaker 7: These camps are designed to humiliate you, to break you down,
- 18:34Speaker 7: to take you to your lowest and then in some sick,
- 18:38Speaker 7: perverse way, hoping to build you back up better and stronger,
- 18:43Speaker 7: but again without any real therapy or any real guidance
- 18:45Speaker 7: to do any of that.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Nancy, if I.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Can just interject, in a proper psychiatric facility, the initial
- 18:52Speaker 5: session is with a psychiatrist or the child is evaluated psychiatrically.
- 18:57Speaker 5: When they're admitted, every child has their own room, there
- 19:01Speaker 5: are lights in the hallway, Nurses with white uniforms check
- 19:05Speaker 5: all night long. The only time that with the other
- 19:07Speaker 5: kids is while they're doing some recreation or in group therapy.
- 19:13Speaker 5: That's it. And then other professionals are coming in all
- 19:16Speaker 5: the time making notes in their chart. This is such
- 19:19Speaker 5: a deviation from that and such a culture of a.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Few, and we have only got to the tip of
- 19:25Speaker 2: the iceberg. Remember we're here today about a twelve year
- 19:29Speaker 2: old little boy twelve fifth grade that is dead. Guys,
- 19:35Speaker 2: I want you to take a listen to our friend
- 19:38Speaker 2: Sidney Sumner from crime Online.
- 19:40Speaker 9: The parents of a twelve year old boy think Trails
- 19:42Speaker 9: Carolina might be just the place to help their son.
- 19:45Speaker 9: Trails Carolina claims to be a leader in wilderness therapy,
- 19:48Speaker 9: offering an adventure wilderness program for children who have behavioral
- 19:52Speaker 9: and or emotional difficulties. The parents say their boy is
- 19:56Speaker 9: transported by two men from New York to Trails Carolina
- 19:59Speaker 9: Camp at Lake Talks Away, North Carolina. Their son arrives
- 20:02Speaker 9: at the camp in an agitated state. The twelve year
- 20:04Speaker 9: old is loud and disruptive, but he is assigned to
- 20:07Speaker 9: a cabin with other children as well as for adults.
- 20:10Speaker 9: In less than twenty four hours, the twelve year old
- 20:12Speaker 9: boy is dead. Sheriff Chuck owenb says an autopsy is
- 20:16Speaker 9: being conducted because the death appeared suspicious since the boy
- 20:19Speaker 9: died at the camp less than twenty four hours after
- 20:22Speaker 9: he arrived.
- 20:23Speaker 2: And what are we learning about the condition of the
- 20:27Speaker 2: boy's body? Listen.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Investigators have yet to name the twelve year old that
- 20:32Speaker 3: died at Trails, Carolina, referring to him by the initials
- 20:36Speaker 3: c JH. An unidentified camp counselor told investigators that CJH
- 20:42Speaker 3: was loud and irate when he first arrived at the camp,
- 20:45Speaker 3: and he refused to eat dinner. The boy calmed down
- 20:48Speaker 3: later in the evening and the counselor was able to
- 20:51Speaker 3: provide him with some snacks that the boy ate. The
- 20:54Speaker 3: counselor explained to investigators that the boy was required to
- 20:58Speaker 3: sleep on the floor inside a sleep sleeping bag. The
- 21:01Speaker 3: sleeping bag is inside a small tint called a BIV.
- 21:04Speaker 3: According to search warrant documents, around midnight, the boy started
- 21:08Speaker 3: to experience a panic attack. Two counselors stood nearby while
- 21:12Speaker 3: the boy was experiencing the panic attack, but the counselor
- 21:15Speaker 3: made no mention of anything being done to directly help
- 21:19Speaker 3: the boy through the panic attack.
- 21:21Speaker 2: No, that's not what I'm talking about. Listen to this.
- 21:24Speaker 9: After the twelve year old has a panic attack around midnight,
- 21:27Speaker 9: a councillor told investigators that the boy was checked on
- 21:30Speaker 9: throughout the night, starting at twelve am, with additional checks
- 21:33Speaker 9: on his well being at three am and six am.
- 21:36Speaker 9: At seven forty five am, the boy is found dead.
- 21:39Speaker 9: According to the search warrant, when investigators arrived on scene,
- 21:42Speaker 9: CJH was stiff and cold to the touch. He was
- 21:45Speaker 9: lying on his back, his arms were on his chest,
- 21:48Speaker 9: and his knees bent upward towards the sky. Also in
- 21:51Speaker 9: the search warrant, investigators noted spots of bleeding under the skin,
- 21:54Speaker 9: possible petikia in the boy's lips and eyes. The CPR
- 21:58Speaker 9: mask was covering the boy's face, and he was not
- 22:00Speaker 9: wearing pants or underwear. His pants and underwear were lying
- 22:04Speaker 9: next to his shoulder.
- 22:05Speaker 2: No, No, everything you just heard is wrong. I'm not
- 22:11Speaker 2: saying the facts are not correct. The facts are correct,
- 22:14Speaker 2: but that is not consistent with death by a panic attack. No,
- 22:19Speaker 2: joining me. Doctor Todd Barr Board certified anatomic, clinical and
- 22:24Speaker 2: forensic pathologist. Doctor Barr, help me explain how wrong that
- 22:30Speaker 2: scenario is. It is not compatible at all with a
- 22:34Speaker 2: panic attack, which means airgo. Somebody's lying, which means there's
- 22:40Speaker 2: something nefarious occurring right now. Why lie about it unless
- 22:46Speaker 2: you're covering something up, doctor.
- 22:47Speaker 8: Barr, Well, yeah, there's a lot of inconsistencies with these reports.
- 22:53Speaker 8: Number one, My biggest concern is that when they state
- 22:57Speaker 8: that they found him cold and stiff, cold and stiff
- 23:01Speaker 8: means that the body's been dead for anywhere between eight
- 23:04Speaker 8: and thirty six hours. You don't get cold and stiff
- 23:09Speaker 8: in an hour. In forty five minutes. If he was
- 23:11Speaker 8: checked on at six am, as it was reported, he
- 23:14Speaker 8: should not be cold and stiff. If he was dead,
- 23:17Speaker 8: he would be flaccid. Riga mortis doesn't set in for
- 23:21Speaker 8: at least two hours after death. Now a caveat is
- 23:25Speaker 8: if you're in a cold environment, that flows the process
- 23:29Speaker 8: down even more so it's an even flower process. And
- 23:34Speaker 8: I would imagine in North Carolina in February, the temperatures
- 23:38Speaker 8: were probably in the forties that night.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Could you get that for me? Jimmy the timp on
- 23:43Speaker 2: that night, the night that CJH died and at Lake
- 23:49Speaker 2: talks away. Go ahead, doctor, thank you.
- 23:51Speaker 8: If he was cold and stiff at seven forty five am,
- 23:54Speaker 8: as it was reported then, that means he had to
- 23:57Speaker 8: have been dead at midnight when he was quote unquote
- 24:00Speaker 8: having a panic attack.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Oh, let me clear something up, Nick Oxner joining us WBTV.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Was he cold and stiff when elle law enforcement got
- 24:08Speaker 2: there or was he cold and stiff when counselors found him?
- 24:12Speaker 2: And how long was the delay if any, when they
- 24:15Speaker 2: called sheriff, because you were telling me about Alec Lansing,
- 24:18Speaker 2: how sheriffs weren't called for at least twelve plus hours?
- 24:22Speaker 2: How long did it take them upon discovery of Cjh's
- 24:26Speaker 2: did body did they call sheriffs?
- 24:28Speaker 4: Well, that's why I think the detail about Alec Lansing's
- 24:31Speaker 4: staff in the delay is important here, Nancy. We only
- 24:34Speaker 4: know what he was like when he was found by
- 24:36Speaker 4: first responders, where they said rigor Mortis had already said
- 24:39Speaker 4: it was cold and stiff. We don't actually have a
- 24:42Speaker 4: clear understanding of when our clear answer to when he
- 24:47Speaker 4: was actually discovered by camp counselors yet, because again we
- 24:50Speaker 4: have two facts here that don't really square based on
- 24:53Speaker 4: what the doctor is telling us, right, we know that
- 24:55Speaker 4: he was in riga mortis by the time first responders
- 24:57Speaker 4: show up about seven forty five eight am. But we
- 25:00Speaker 4: also have camp counselors saying they checked on him at midnight,
- 25:03Speaker 4: three AM, and six AM. And hopefully what we you know,
- 25:08Speaker 4: get after the investigation is an explanation on how those
- 25:11Speaker 4: two facts can square.
- 25:12Speaker 2: That is a lie. They don't square. Counselors cannot check
- 25:16Speaker 2: on him and he be alive at six a m.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I believe it was six am they said they checked
- 25:21Speaker 2: on sid and then he be in full rigor and
- 25:24Speaker 2: cold to the touch at seven forty five. That's impossible.
- 25:29Speaker 2: And Nick Oxney, you're telling me that's when LA or
- 25:32Speaker 2: first responders. Law enforcement first responders got there at seven
- 25:35Speaker 2: forty five, which means counselors had to find him before that.
- 25:40Speaker 2: He could not Doctor Todd Barr be in full rigor
- 25:45Speaker 2: in less than an hour and a half if they
- 25:48Speaker 2: checked on him at six There's no way.
- 25:50Speaker 8: It's just it's physiologically impossible.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Twenty eight degrees, Doc, twenty eight degrees that morning, you know.
- 25:57Speaker 8: And here's another interesting you know, I don't know what
- 26:01Speaker 8: the frothing is all about. You can get pulmonary edema
- 26:05Speaker 8: from hypothermia from drowning heart.
- 26:08Speaker 5: Area to go again.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Pulmonary edema, what's that?
- 26:12Speaker 8: That's when your lung filled up with fluids after you
- 26:15Speaker 8: die and you get frothing of the mouth.
- 26:17Speaker 2: That's still inconsistent. Doctor. That takes a period of time
- 26:22Speaker 2: for pulmonary edema to occur, number one and two, for
- 26:26Speaker 2: it to go up your throat and come out of
- 26:28Speaker 2: your mouth and nose, that takes additional time. It's not
- 26:31Speaker 2: going to happen in an hour and a half.
- 26:33Speaker 8: No, you're absolutely right. And when I was preparing for today,
- 26:38Speaker 8: I was reading some of the materials sent to us
- 26:40Speaker 8: and it says one of the staff members reportedly told
- 26:43Speaker 8: detectives that he was cold to the touch and stiff.
- 26:47Speaker 8: So I'm assuming that is one of the camp staff
- 26:50Speaker 8: members that found him dead at seven forty five. So
- 26:53Speaker 8: they're reporting to the detectives they found him cold and
- 26:58Speaker 8: cold to the touch and stiff at seven. It just
- 27:02Speaker 8: doesn't jive.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Somebody is lying. I think I know who. But that
- 27:07Speaker 2: said Eric Davis, joining me out of this jurisdiction, an
- 27:12Speaker 2: expert private investigator, retired FBI special agent. Okay, that says
- 27:19Speaker 2: it all right there, partner at Richardson and Davis Investigative
- 27:23Speaker 2: Consulting Group. That's a mouthful. You can find him at
- 27:26Speaker 2: Richardson and Davis dot com. Eric, thank you for being
- 27:31Speaker 2: with us. Okay, how do I figure out who's lying?
- 27:34Speaker 2: I don't think it's the medical examiner. I don't think
- 27:37Speaker 2: it's the EMTs. They don't have a dog in the fight,
- 27:40Speaker 2: no skin in the game. They arrived and this is
- 27:43Speaker 2: what they found. And I know for a fact that
- 27:48Speaker 2: rigor stiffening of the limbs doesn't happen. And this is
- 27:53Speaker 2: in the light most favorable to the camp. If he
- 27:57Speaker 2: was dead, they check on him at six and he
- 27:59Speaker 2: dies at six one ry which did not happen. He
- 28:03Speaker 2: still wouldn't be in rigor at seven five. That's a lie.
- 28:07Speaker 8: They found him and he was dead at six oh one.
- 28:10Speaker 8: It would take a minimum of six to eight hours
- 28:14Speaker 8: to get into full riger That would take us into
- 28:16Speaker 8: one or two in the afternoon.
- 28:18Speaker 2: What about his underwear and his pj's totally off, his
- 28:22Speaker 2: body up around his head.
- 28:23Speaker 10: That's my question, Nancy, what's going on there? What's he
- 28:26Speaker 10: doing in a BIV tent with no pants on, no underwear,
- 28:30Speaker 10: on all the prior incidents of sexual abuse or at
- 28:35Speaker 10: least alleged sexual abuse. Why is he in this BIV tent?
- 28:39Speaker 10: Zipped up in a BIV tent? That's another question I have.
- 28:43Speaker 10: It's going to make it really hard for the camp
- 28:45Speaker 10: counselors to observe what's going on with and if he
- 28:48Speaker 10: zipped up in a BIV tent, is that some sort
- 28:49Speaker 10: of punishment?
- 28:50Speaker 8: And why is he a bivy tent.
- 28:51Speaker 11: We've done a lot of investigations and I have over
- 28:53Speaker 11: sixty experienced surveys filled out, and one of the most
- 28:57Speaker 11: common things that I've heard is something called they called redoing,
- 29:01Speaker 11: and it's when they're wrapped in a tarp so tight
- 29:04Speaker 11: that many of them report that they can't breathe. And
- 29:09Speaker 11: that's the first thing that came to mind for me.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Guys, you're hearing Meg Applegate. She is co founder and
- 29:15Speaker 2: CEO of Unsilenced, victim of the Trouble Team industry, and
- 29:22Speaker 2: advocate for survivors at unsilenced dot org. Eric, I'm going
- 29:27Speaker 2: to circle back to you, Meg Applegate. This is your
- 29:30Speaker 2: Baileywick jump in.
- 29:32Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 11: I mean, I've spoke to countless victims and one of
- 29:35Speaker 11: the most common things I'm hearing is this burrito, and
- 29:39Speaker 11: many are reporting that for the first week or so,
- 29:41Speaker 11: they're required to be in this burrito. And they basically
- 29:45Speaker 11: take a tarp, which is mentioned in the report, which
- 29:48Speaker 11: is what triggered me thinking about this, and they are
- 29:51Speaker 11: wrapped up so tight, and then they usually have a
- 29:53Speaker 11: staff member sleep on one side of the tarp, and
- 29:55Speaker 11: the point of this is to ensure they don't try
- 29:58Speaker 11: to run away, and any kind of the movement will
- 30:00Speaker 11: obviously wake up the staff.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Okay, question, hold on, doctor Bethany Marshall, how does that
- 30:06Speaker 2: help a troubled teen not to be able? You know,
- 30:09Speaker 2: when the twins came home from nick you, the nurses
- 30:13Speaker 2: said he suposed to wrap them really tight, swaddle them,
- 30:17Speaker 2: and they were really not happy with that. I couldn't
- 30:20Speaker 2: stand by to see them swaddled tightly, so I would
- 30:23Speaker 2: immediately unswallow it, unswaddle them. Why would you do that
- 30:27Speaker 2: to a.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Teen, Nancy. They're trying to keep him from running away?
- 30:30Speaker 5: Just as Meg just said that, it gets worse. What
- 30:33Speaker 5: they probably did was stripped him and did not allow
- 30:36Speaker 5: him to have pajamas, so he was naked from the
- 30:38Speaker 5: waist down. To keep him from running away. You probably
- 30:41Speaker 5: had to have clothing from the waist up.
- 30:43Speaker 2: I don't know anything about them stripping him at night.
- 30:46Speaker 2: H Gurny. Did that happen to you at Charles Carolina?
- 30:51Speaker 2: Did they make you sleep half clothed?
- 30:53Speaker 6: No?
- 30:54Speaker 11: Okay, Yeah, it's been reported to me by ex staff.
- 30:57Speaker 11: But apparently it is required for them to be in
- 31:00Speaker 11: clothes at all times. You can't even be in boxers
- 31:02Speaker 11: or without your shirt. So that's what's been reported to
- 31:06Speaker 11: me by ex staff members that have come forward.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Oh, Star jump in, do you know anything?
- 31:10Speaker 4: No, that is a question that has another question that
- 31:14Speaker 4: we still are trying to get answers to.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never heard of that being a technique at
- 31:20Speaker 2: any of these wilderness camps where you are forced to
- 31:23Speaker 2: take your clothes off to go to sleep. Jenkins, man,
- 31:26Speaker 2: I think I heard you jumping in. Yeah.
- 31:27Speaker 7: I was just going to say, Unfortunately, is horrific. As
- 31:31Speaker 7: all this is, we shouldn't and can't be surprised by
- 31:34Speaker 7: any of it. It's exactly what they did with Alec
- 31:37Speaker 7: Lansing when they waited all those hours to contact the police.
- 31:42Speaker 7: North Carolina is a mandatory reporter state in neither Gertie's instants,
- 31:47Speaker 7: nor Clara's instance, nor any instance that I'm able to find,
- 31:51Speaker 7: have they ever reported any of the sexual abuse that
- 31:55Speaker 7: occurred to these girls, to these children at the camp.
- 31:58Speaker 7: We shouldn't be at all prized, unfortunately that they clearly
- 32:02Speaker 7: waited a period of hours and hours and hours before
- 32:06Speaker 7: reporting what happened to CJH. And they do it because
- 32:10Speaker 7: it's a cloak of secrecy. They have this complete cloak
- 32:14Speaker 7: of secrecy where they don't want any regulation, they don't
- 32:17Speaker 7: want any oversight, and they do anything and everything they
- 32:22Speaker 7: can to keep what they're doing from light of.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Day time stories with Nancy Grace.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Another survivor of this camp trails, Carolina Catherine Riley, says
- 32:50Speaker 2: that she was taken from her home much as Gertie was,
- 32:55Speaker 2: much as this little boy was. That she was not
- 33:00Speaker 2: allowed to shower for seventeen days. Another survivor claims that
- 33:05Speaker 2: he had defecated in his pants and was forced to
- 33:08Speaker 2: wear the same pair of pants for two weeks. Back
- 33:13Speaker 2: to Eric Davis PI in this jurisdiction, I wonder and
- 33:18Speaker 2: tell me jenkins Man in nick Auckster, do you know
- 33:22Speaker 2: if a rape kit was performed on this child.
- 33:25Speaker 10: It should have been it would have been standard, It
- 33:29Speaker 10: should have been especially sound with this pants down.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Off pants and underwear offline by his head right.
- 33:35Speaker 10: In North Carolina. You're probably not. I couldn't get the
- 33:36Speaker 10: toxicology reports for up to a month, and it could
- 33:40Speaker 10: be longer for the medical examiner's final report. So what
- 33:43Speaker 10: you got is basically the word of the detectives, coming
- 33:48Speaker 10: from what the medic told the detectives, Right, But I
- 33:52Speaker 10: have so many questions. I mean, the way you're going
- 33:54Speaker 10: to figure out this's lilyning is you got to interview
- 33:56Speaker 10: all these people. You got to interview all anyone who
- 33:58Speaker 10: was there, You got to interview all the staffs, and
- 34:01Speaker 10: you got to interview past people.
- 34:03Speaker 2: They're not they would not allow LA law enforcement to
- 34:07Speaker 2: interview the other juveniles. Listen to Sidney Sumner.
- 34:10Speaker 9: Early in the investigation, detectives with the Transylvania County Sheriff's
- 34:14Speaker 9: Office attempt to interview juveniles at Trails Carolina when the
- 34:17Speaker 9: boy died. However, camp staff members refuse to allow investigators
- 34:21Speaker 9: to interview or even see any of the other juveniles.
- 34:25Speaker 9: Trails Carolina says the search warrant contains misleading statements, saying
- 34:29Speaker 9: they won't discuss some details out of respect for the
- 34:32Speaker 9: family and the investigation. In a statement, Trails Carolina says
- 34:35Speaker 9: they did not prevent children from speaking to investigators, claiming
- 34:39Speaker 9: they asked parents for permission for any children involved to
- 34:42Speaker 9: speak with law enforcement and state agencies and quote be
- 34:45Speaker 9: complied with each parent's preference as we are required to do.
- 34:49Speaker 9: Children were moved from the area to protect them from
- 34:51Speaker 9: seeing what was happening, not to avoid investigators.
- 34:54Speaker 2: I'm very curious, Eric Davis, in a potential homicide, can
- 35:00Speaker 2: juvenile witnesses be disallowed for speaking to sheriffs or EMTs?
- 35:07Speaker 8: Not by the camp.
- 35:08Speaker 10: But they are juveniles, so in North Carolina you would
- 35:11Speaker 10: need their parents' permission, But the law elie the law
- 35:14Speaker 10: enforcement should be getting that permission directly from the parents.
- 35:17Speaker 10: So in other words, the kid can't consent to an
- 35:19Speaker 10: interview without their parents' permission. But it sounds like the
- 35:24Speaker 10: camp's asserting that on their behalf. But yeah, they need
- 35:28Speaker 10: to be able to talk to the kids. Obviously, you
- 35:30Speaker 10: got to talk to the witnesses who were there, who
- 35:32Speaker 10: was in the in the bunk with them.
- 35:33Speaker 2: In all my years prosecuting. I never had a parent
- 35:37Speaker 2: disallow me to speak to a child witness. Never correct.
- 35:42Speaker 2: I find it very unusual that no parent allowed their
- 35:47Speaker 2: child to speak to law enforcement in light of a
- 35:50Speaker 2: potential homicide. I want to go back to Gerdy, a
- 35:54Speaker 2: survivor of sex assault at Trails Carolina. Gerty, do you
- 36:02Speaker 2: believe you're the only victim.
- 36:04Speaker 6: I can't speculate on what happened when I wasn't at Trails,
- 36:09Speaker 6: but I do believe the survivors who I've spoken to
- 36:14Speaker 6: since I was at Trails, and I believe the other
- 36:17Speaker 6: two kids who are assaulted at Trails in the same
- 36:20Speaker 6: group as me before I was assaulted.
- 36:22Speaker 2: To you, jenkins Man, high profile lawyer representing victims of
- 36:25Speaker 2: Trail Carolina. How many victims are you representing? Excuse me,
- 36:31Speaker 2: alleged victims are you representing? Right now?
- 36:33Speaker 7: Right now? We've got six?
- 36:35Speaker 2: Were they all sex assault victims?
- 36:37Speaker 7: All of them sex assault victims, all of them with
- 36:41Speaker 7: prior notice to Trails Carolina before it happened, one of
- 36:46Speaker 7: them assaulted by a staff member.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Nick Auxner Jornios WTV. How much does this camp cost parents?
- 36:53Speaker 4: Offwards of ten thousand dollars a month? So this is
- 36:57Speaker 4: not a cheap thing, and it's not covered by insurance.
- 36:59Speaker 4: And from what I understand, and my reporting showed that
- 37:03Speaker 4: kids are there for about three months.
- 37:05Speaker 5: Nancy, can I interject about that? Yes, well, my wealthy clients,
- 37:09Speaker 5: wealthy patients and Beverly Hills. Often these camps are vying
- 37:13Speaker 5: to kidnap the kids and take them because it's so lucrative.
- 37:16Speaker 5: So one mother said, well, they said they'd take them
- 37:19Speaker 5: for nine thousand, but this other person offered to take
- 37:22Speaker 5: my child for twenty thousand. So there's this kind of
- 37:25Speaker 5: like extortion almost from the very beginning, against the child's
- 37:29Speaker 5: mental health.
- 37:31Speaker 7: Yeah, and I would just interject, I think it's significantly
- 37:34Speaker 7: more expensive than Nick is saying. I think it's closer
- 37:37Speaker 7: almost to thirty thousand.
- 37:39Speaker 2: In mine, Gurty, how long were you at Trails?
- 37:41Speaker 6: I was there for three months. I think it was
- 37:44Speaker 6: exactly eighty three or eighty four days that I was
- 37:49Speaker 6: in their program. I don't know how much it cost.
- 37:53Speaker 6: I was there in twenty sixteen, so it would have
- 37:56Speaker 6: been less than it is now. But I know that
- 37:59Speaker 6: my parents couldn't afford it by themselves, and they needed
- 38:02Speaker 6: my grandparents help to pay for it.
- 38:04Speaker 11: And that's also not counting the usually the therapeutic boarding
- 38:08Speaker 11: schools they recommend after wilderness programs as well.
- 38:11Speaker 2: How did your parents react when you told them you
- 38:13Speaker 2: had been sex assaulted?
- 38:14Speaker 6: They were horrified. My mom the other day told me
- 38:18Speaker 6: that my therapist completely booped her my therapist at trails.
- 38:22Speaker 2: I'm thinking through everything that we're hearing, I want to
- 38:25Speaker 2: go back to Meg Applegate, co founder CEO of Unsilenced. Meg,
- 38:32Speaker 2: what happened to you?
- 38:34Speaker 11: Well, pretty much what you heard. I was woken up
- 38:37Speaker 11: in the middle of the night. The two strangers told
- 38:39Speaker 11: me we're going to do this easy way or the
- 38:40Speaker 11: hard way, and they told me the hard way involved hancuffs.
- 38:43Speaker 11: So I went along, put me in the back of
- 38:46Speaker 11: an suv, drove me off, and I went to end
- 38:50Speaker 11: up in two different programs for the course of three
- 38:53Speaker 11: and a half years.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Nick Auxner, it just seems so incredible to me that
- 39:02Speaker 2: the lies here are so obvious, yet no criminal charges
- 39:07Speaker 2: have been filed.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Well, and that's why part of my current work investigating
- 39:11Speaker 4: the death of this twelve year old boy is, you know,
- 39:14Speaker 4: staying on regulators, state regulators, who's allowed this camp to
- 39:19Speaker 4: operate freely with very little oversight and staying on criminal
- 39:24Speaker 4: investigators and monitoring the court system and court documents and
- 39:28Speaker 4: court paperwork to see what new details are coming out,
- 39:31Speaker 4: and you know, to get to the bottom of what
- 39:34Speaker 4: investigators know and what the truth is here.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Question, what is a local district attorney doing about man?
- 39:40Speaker 4: That would be a good question. Again, all we know
- 39:44Speaker 4: so far from what authorities have said, what investigators have said,
- 39:48Speaker 4: and what's been filed in court, which is really all
- 39:51Speaker 4: anyone's saying at this point is from the search warrants
- 39:55Speaker 4: that have been unsealed. But we've not heard anything from
- 39:57Speaker 4: the local prosecutor. It's a multi county didicial districts or
- 40:00Speaker 4: the prosecutor there oversees three different counties, including the one
- 40:03Speaker 4: where this boy died where Trails, Carolina.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Is Nick Oxtor. Who is the district attorney?
- 40:09Speaker 4: Yeah, the district attorney for this judicial district is Andrew Murray.
- 40:13Speaker 4: He actually is the former US Attorney to the United
- 40:16Speaker 4: States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, A
- 40:19Speaker 4: seasoned prosecutor.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Really, I just so happened to have his phone number
- 40:25Speaker 2: eight two eight six nine to four four to two
- 40:29Speaker 2: hundred repeat eight two eight six nine to four four
- 40:34Speaker 2: two one hundred. Why is this case not being classified
- 40:41Speaker 2: as a homicide? What will the autopsy report reveal to?
- 40:47Speaker 2: Doctor Todd Barr board certified anatomic clinical forensic pathologist. What
- 40:52Speaker 2: do you make of it, doctor Barr?
- 40:54Speaker 8: I have a couple of points. The part of this
- 40:57Speaker 8: that really is most surving to me is when somebody,
- 41:02Speaker 8: it might have been unancy, that said they found possibility
- 41:06Speaker 8: of patiquia around the mouth and the eye. That's particularly
- 41:11Speaker 8: worrisome for me.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Doesn't that indicate asphyxiation?
- 41:15Speaker 8: It could very well indicate that he was suffocated, asphyxiated,
- 41:19Speaker 8: smothered in some way of flight pressure to his neck
- 41:24Speaker 8: to cause those blood vessels to break and cause these
- 41:26Speaker 8: little hemorrhages to occur. The one thing I just I
- 41:31Speaker 8: do want to state one other thing, and this I'm
- 41:35Speaker 8: not justifying what happened to this boy, but there is
- 41:39Speaker 8: this thing called paradoxical undressing when people are suffering from hypothermia.
- 41:44Speaker 8: And I've done many cases where people have been found
- 41:46Speaker 8: with their clothing off. When you're in really cold temperatures
- 41:50Speaker 8: and you're suffering from hypothermia, your brain can interpret that
- 41:55Speaker 8: as being hot and many people when they're in these
- 41:59Speaker 8: cold environments start to take their clothes off because they
- 42:02Speaker 8: feel warm and hot.
- 42:03Speaker 2: I've thought about paradoxical hypothermia because I've encountered on several occasions.
- 42:10Speaker 2: And I'm curious if the twelve year old boy all
- 42:16Speaker 2: we know and by is c J H was suffering
- 42:18Speaker 2: from paradoxical hypothermia where you're so cold you think you're hot.
- 42:23Speaker 2: It has happened, why, I would assume the first thing
- 42:27Speaker 2: you take off would be your shirt, right when you're hot.
- 42:32Speaker 8: Correct and and and that's why I find the idea
- 42:35Speaker 8: of the petikia very troublesome. And also he could he
- 42:40Speaker 8: could develop this pulmonary edema, this frothing fluid that comes
- 42:44Speaker 8: out of the lungs from being asphyxiated as well. So
- 42:48Speaker 8: you know this this frothing is a non specific finding
- 42:52Speaker 8: that happens in many forms of death. But it's it's
- 42:56Speaker 8: really the petikia that that troubled me the most.
- 42:58Speaker 2: I agree, this smells.
- 42:59Speaker 8: Too much like foul play to me. I would really
- 43:03Speaker 8: love to know what was found at autopsy. There are
- 43:06Speaker 8: other internal findings that you can find that may indicate hypothermia,
- 43:12Speaker 8: but there are also other findings that you can see
- 43:14Speaker 8: at an autopsy, not with.
- 43:16Speaker 2: A particia busted burst, Doctor Barr.
- 43:19Speaker 8: I want to know if he had hemorrhage in his
- 43:20Speaker 8: neck muscle, so that would also be an indication of
- 43:23Speaker 8: a sixtia.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Can you think of any reason if he had had
- 43:27Speaker 2: this twelve year old boy peridotscyal hypothermia that the particular
- 43:32Speaker 2: in his eyes and around his mouth would be burst?
- 43:36Speaker 2: What I can't thank you?
- 43:39Speaker 8: Yeah, you would never get patikia from hypothermia, never, which
- 43:43Speaker 8: completely rules out peridotscyl hypothermia, the particuli.
- 43:48Speaker 2: We asked the Camp Charles Carolina to come on with
- 43:54Speaker 2: us to give a statement. Guess what they didn't want
- 43:57Speaker 2: to answer my questions. Why if you have or think
- 44:02Speaker 2: you have information relating to the death of this little
- 44:07Speaker 2: boy twelve years old, please call eight two eight eight
