0:10
Speaker 1: mom who dragged along her sixteen year old daughter. According
0:14
Speaker 1: to cops, Juliette Parker did she pose as a baby
0:20
Speaker 1: photographer to steal a baby from a young mom to
0:27
Speaker 1: raise as her own. It's almost too much to take
0:32
Speaker 1: In crime stories with Nancy Grace, a woman who was
0:51
Speaker 1: a former candidate for mayor in Colorado Springs, is behind
0:54
Speaker 1: bars after police say she tried kidnapping a baby in
0:57
Speaker 1: Washington State. Pierce County Sheriffs She'll say she was arrested
1:01
Speaker 1: along with her daughter for posing as a photographer for
1:03
Speaker 1: newborns and drugging a mother during a photoshoot. Detective says
1:08
Speaker 1: she has plenty of aliases. When she was running for
1:11
Speaker 1: mayor in Colorado Springs, she did so under the name
1:14
Speaker 1: of Juliette Parker. A mother who did not want to
1:17
Speaker 1: be identified spoke with a reporter about her encounter with Parker,
1:21
Speaker 1: and detectives say that if they found evidence of her plan,
1:25
Speaker 1: he had said she was looking for a pregnant women,
1:27
Speaker 1: that she had made some emphasis on being very near
1:29
Speaker 1: their due date. You believe the lady is deliberately planning
1:32
Speaker 1: on selecting a baby and kidnapping the baby and leaving
1:35
Speaker 1: the state. Parker was going by Joliet Noel and Juliette Gaines.
1:40
Speaker 1: Last week, a victim said she felt numb and drowsy
1:43
Speaker 1: after eating a cupcake. Detectives say she helped bring about
1:47
Speaker 1: the arrest. You are hearing our friend Joel Hillen at
1:50
Speaker 1: CBS four Denver. I mean it, see Grays. This is
1:54
Speaker 1: crime stories. Thank you for being with us. Take a
1:57
Speaker 1: listen to this. Authority say Juliette Parker used social media
2:02
Speaker 1: to lure in unsuspecting moms, offering free maternity photos. She
2:07
Speaker 1: said she wanted to build her portfolio, but detectives alleged
2:10
Speaker 1: her real motive was much more sinister. She wanted a girl,
2:14
Speaker 1: as she wanted them five weeks younger, so she could
2:17
Speaker 1: raise it herself, take it out of state, and pretend
2:20
Speaker 1: it was a new born of her own. A mom
2:22
Speaker 1: in Washington State answered the post, inviting Parker into her
2:25
Speaker 1: home three times. Police say the woman spotted Parker taking
2:29
Speaker 1: selfies with the baby and wiping down her fingerprints from
2:33
Speaker 1: items she touched inside the home. During the third visit,
2:37
Speaker 1: authority saint Parker and her sixteen year old daughter gave
2:40
Speaker 1: the woman a cupcake. The mom suddenly began vomiting and
2:44
Speaker 1: feeling numb and drowsy. She told the two to leave
2:47
Speaker 1: and called nine one one, only to realize her house
2:50
Speaker 1: keys were stolen. Basically, she was drugged. They put drugs
2:54
Speaker 1: in a cupcake. She ate it for an attempt to
2:56
Speaker 1: take her kid. How did you come up with such
2:58
Speaker 1: a crazy scheme? That was CBS News correspondent Carter Evans.
3:04
Speaker 1: And we're learning so much about this scheme to snatch
3:08
Speaker 1: a baby from a young mom. Jackie, you're in the
3:12
Speaker 1: studio has found this bizarre post that Juliette Parker made.
3:19
Speaker 1: It says quote, I got a new professional photography equipment
3:22
Speaker 1: for Christmas and would like to offer free all caps
3:26
Speaker 1: knee born and orm or maternity photo sessions to four
3:30
Speaker 1: or five people to build up my portfolio. Hey, Karen Stark,
3:34
Speaker 1: NEWRK psychologist, take a listen to this word for word.
3:37
Speaker 1: If you have a new baby that's less than fourteen
3:39
Speaker 1: days old or are at least thirty seven weeks pregnant,
3:45
Speaker 1: that means viable viable. The baby's viable if it's cut
3:49
Speaker 1: out of your stomach. Comment below with a pick of
3:53
Speaker 1: your cute baby or baby bump, and here's or her
3:55
Speaker 1: birthday or your due date. I'll select people random tomorrow
4:02
Speaker 1: and the next day I'll select people and I can
4:07
Speaker 1: come to you for the photo session. Don't worry if
4:09
Speaker 1: you don't have a car. Smiley face wink. I'm also
4:13
Speaker 1: looking for two or three people to do a quote
4:15
Speaker 1: fresh forty eight hour session for free to build my portfolio.
4:20
Speaker 1: I don't know what that really means fresh forty eight hours,
4:23
Speaker 1: So if you're pregnant, put in your comments if you're interested.
4:26
Speaker 1: The picks are just a few ideas of what I
4:30
Speaker 1: would like to do to try with whomever gets selected. Ooh,
4:36
Speaker 1: selected for what being drugged and your baby stolen? Listen.
4:40
Speaker 1: I responded to a Facebook post from a woman Juliet,
4:44
Speaker 1: who says she was a photographer that would take free
4:46
Speaker 1: photos of my newborn baby for her portfolio. I exchanged
4:50
Speaker 1: several messages with a photographer and she came to my
4:53
Speaker 1: house on three day, three different days to take photos
4:56
Speaker 1: of my newborn. On the third day, the photographer came
4:59
Speaker 1: to house with her teenage daughter. They brought a bottle
5:03
Speaker 1: of wine and cupcakes that she said she had baked.
5:06
Speaker 1: She offered me a glass of wine and they pressured
5:08
Speaker 1: me to try the cupcakes. As I ate one, my
5:11
Speaker 1: lips and face started to feel numb. I saw the
5:14
Speaker 1: photographer wiping down her wine glass and other items in
5:18
Speaker 1: my house. My legs and arms started to go numb,
5:21
Speaker 1: and I repeatedly told the photographer and her daughter to
5:24
Speaker 1: leave my house. After they left, I had noticed my
5:28
Speaker 1: house keys were gone, and I started to vomit uncontrollably.
5:31
Speaker 1: What a story, straight out to crym online dot com
5:34
Speaker 1: investigative reporter Levi Page. Start at the beginning. I don't
5:38
Speaker 1: want to miss a thing, Levi. Nancy investigators said that
5:41
Speaker 1: Juliette Parker would go on Facebook and join groups that
5:46
Speaker 1: are for mothers of newborn and she would post and
5:50
Speaker 1: offer her photography services to them free of charge because
5:54
Speaker 1: I'm a new photographer and I'm looking to build my portfolio,
5:59
Speaker 1: so photograph you and your newborn for free. And this
6:04
Speaker 1: investigation started Nancy when one mother responded and this woman,
6:09
Speaker 1: Juliet Parker, visited her multiple times and she called nine
6:14
Speaker 1: one one after the last visit because she was given
6:17
Speaker 1: a cupcake by Juliet Parker's teen daughter. She was drowsy,
6:22
Speaker 1: she was dizzy, she started vomiting. She could barely stand up,
6:26
Speaker 1: and she told them get out of my home and
6:29
Speaker 1: they left with her keys. She called nine one one,
6:32
Speaker 1: and investigators now say that this is a scheme, a
6:36
Speaker 1: sixth scheme where Juliet Parker and her teen daughter were
6:40
Speaker 1: planning on kidnapping babies and raising them as their own.
6:46
Speaker 1: And police say that this is probably not the only victim,
6:50
Speaker 1: that there are more out there. I wish you to
6:54
Speaker 1: take a listen to our friend at CBS Carter Evans.
6:57
Speaker 1: She used her sleeve to open the front door, and
7:00
Speaker 1: when she came into the house, she wouldn't even sit
7:02
Speaker 1: in a chair as she sat on the ground. Victoria
7:05
Speaker 1: Morris says something seemed off about Parker when she met
7:08
Speaker 1: her after responding to the Facebook post. Parker took the
7:11
Speaker 1: maternity photos and was supposed to be inside the delivery
7:15
Speaker 1: room with her. I was in shock, but I also
7:19
Speaker 1: didn't want to believe it, to be honest, because I
7:22
Speaker 1: was just upset about it. It ultimately affects our economy.
7:25
Speaker 1: Parker unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Colorado Springs last year.
7:30
Speaker 1: Authorities say the thirty eight year old operated under several aliases.
7:34
Speaker 1: I do think this should be a warning to other moms.
7:38
Speaker 1: It makes me anxious to know that people like that
7:42
Speaker 1: can be so manipulative and really work their way into
7:46
Speaker 1: your life, and it's so easy to get caught up
7:49
Speaker 1: in it. Okay, so she wiped everything she touched. Once
7:53
Speaker 1: she is inside Victoria Morris's home, she arranged for Juliette
7:59
Speaker 1: Parker her to be in the delivery room when she
8:02
Speaker 1: has the baby. The fresh forty eight photos are apparently
8:07
Speaker 1: the first forty eight hours of your baby's life. She
8:11
Speaker 1: was targeting specific specific ages of babies. Levi Page investigative reporter.
8:18
Speaker 1: Didn't this woman have a criminal history? And it was bizarre. Yeah,
8:22
Speaker 1: she had trespassed onto military property. She had discharged firearm
8:28
Speaker 1: in her home which caused a fire. So she does
8:32
Speaker 1: have a criminal history. There, wait wait, wait, wait, it's
8:35
Speaker 1: my understanding. She trespassed on military property and she found
8:39
Speaker 1: some old ammunition and took it. Now, if I'm out
8:43
Speaker 1: for a hike or walk and I hopping upon some
8:47
Speaker 1: oh bullets, the last thing I'm gonna do is pick
8:50
Speaker 1: them up and bring them home. No, And then she
8:54
Speaker 1: discharged it in her home and started a fire. What's
8:57
Speaker 1: with all the your correct Yeah? I mean, wait a minute,
9:01
Speaker 1: wait a minute, let me go to shell Nutt with me.
9:03
Speaker 1: James shell Nutt, metro major case swat officer, now lawyer.
9:08
Speaker 1: I used to love reading it out in front of
9:10
Speaker 1: a jury when a person had a lot of aliases. Yeah,
9:14
Speaker 1: I mean you think, what do you try to hide?
9:16
Speaker 1: Why do you need to be different people at different times? Dad?
9:19
Speaker 1: That certainly is an interesting fact that you want to
9:22
Speaker 1: bring out time stories with Nancy Grace. This has happened.
9:43
Speaker 1: I'm terrified to be at my house. I don't go anywhere.
9:50
Speaker 1: I don't like being at home. I'm not sleeping, I'm
9:53
Speaker 1: not eating. I carry a machete, a knife, and pepper
9:57
Speaker 1: spray in my house and in my car. I sleep
10:00
Speaker 1: with a knife even under my pillow. As a result
10:03
Speaker 1: of this, just yesterday I saw someone posting on social
10:10
Speaker 1: media looking for a baby photographer. Please, if you have
10:14
Speaker 1: some petty with you at all times, check the website
10:17
Speaker 1: to have views, check to see if they have a
10:19
Speaker 1: business license, ask for a references. Just be very careful
10:23
Speaker 1: and trust your instincts. Juliet Parker did she pose as
10:30
Speaker 1: a baby photographer to steal a baby from a young mom.
10:37
Speaker 1: It's almost too much to take in. Take a listen
10:40
Speaker 1: to our friends at King five knees. This is a
10:43
Speaker 1: reporter Amy Moreno. When we found out she was a girl,
10:48
Speaker 1: we felt like, you know, a piece of our heart
10:50
Speaker 1: was coming back. Gabby Romius expects her daughter to be
10:53
Speaker 1: born in a matter of days. She was so grateful
10:56
Speaker 1: when she heard about the opportunity to get some newborn
10:58
Speaker 1: photos for free. For I'm a photographer who said she
11:01
Speaker 1: wanted to expand her portfolio. They had everything ready to go.
11:05
Speaker 1: I was supposed to contact her after I tell the
11:08
Speaker 1: hospital on my way and she was going to meet
11:10
Speaker 1: me there. For Gabby, this is her rainbow baby, a
11:13
Speaker 1: pregnancy after the loss of another child. I had lost
11:17
Speaker 1: my first daughter in twenty seventeen, and this birth is
11:22
Speaker 1: so emotional, and it's like to think I almost let
11:26
Speaker 1: someone like that around my family. It's kind of hard.
11:31
Speaker 1: Investigators say the free photography was just a ploy to
11:34
Speaker 1: get access to babies, you know ploys. For instance, in
11:41
Speaker 1: another case, nineteen year old morland A Choa strangled dad
11:45
Speaker 1: by Clarissa fic Garoa and her daughter Desiree. They had
11:51
Speaker 1: lured her over when she was nine months pregnant with
11:54
Speaker 1: her son, and by offering discounted or free baby clothes
12:03
Speaker 1: in a Yahoo baby chat room. This is a ruse
12:09
Speaker 1: in the current case claiming baby photos for free. Karen Start,
12:16
Speaker 1: New York Psychologists way end well, obviously this is the
12:19
Speaker 1: person who's who's very disturbed Nancy, and it's able to
12:23
Speaker 1: come up with ploys to get her to be in
12:27
Speaker 1: people's homes, to be at their deliveries with the intent
12:33
Speaker 1: it appears to kidnap their children. And I think it's
12:38
Speaker 1: just incredible that this person knew to report that she
12:43
Speaker 1: had been poisoned. What's disturbing is that what was They
12:48
Speaker 1: changed the locks on her home, and I just I
12:54
Speaker 1: can't imagine how frightened she must be, just with the
12:58
Speaker 1: idea that the locks were change but that there are
13:01
Speaker 1: people like us walking around who would want to take children.
13:05
Speaker 1: And we know that's happened as well as what you
13:08
Speaker 1: mentioned before, babies being cut out of people while before
13:13
Speaker 1: they were born. Take a listen to our friend Annie Marina.
13:16
Speaker 1: More more possible victims are coming forward saying Juliet Parker
13:21
Speaker 1: contacted them, she tried to drug one mom and evidence
13:25
Speaker 1: shows she went to that woman's home in Pierce County
13:28
Speaker 1: several times, possibly laying the groundwork to take the baby.
13:32
Speaker 1: She'd been there a couple times taking selfies and pictures
13:35
Speaker 1: with the infant, trying to establish a timeline in case
13:39
Speaker 1: she were to take the baby that it was hers
13:42
Speaker 1: because she had photos leading up to this. Investigators say
13:46
Speaker 1: she rejected moms who reached out that had baby boys
13:49
Speaker 1: and seemed to only be interested in those who were
13:52
Speaker 1: having girls. We talked with another mom who was struggling
13:56
Speaker 1: financially during her pregnancy and had asked for help through
13:59
Speaker 1: a commune un group. She said Parker contacted her and
14:03
Speaker 1: said she could help with somewhere safe to live. Believe
14:06
Speaker 1: she was actually targeting people that most people wouldn't notice.
14:10
Speaker 1: If there's a problem, intentionally targeting people that she thought
14:14
Speaker 1: might be easy victims, easy victims to leave ipage Crime
14:17
Speaker 1: online dot Com investigative reporter, What does he mean by
14:20
Speaker 1: easy victims and how many victims are out there? Nancy
14:26
Speaker 1: authorities are asking anyone that may have used parker services,
14:31
Speaker 1: possibly under the name Juliet Noel or Juliet Gaines, to
14:35
Speaker 1: contact them at their tipline at two five, three, seven, nine, eight, seven, seven,
14:40
Speaker 1: two four, And there are multiple people that have come forward.
14:43
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact number, but police think that
14:46
Speaker 1: there could be dozens of women out there. And we
14:49
Speaker 1: know that she wanted single women, women that were struggling financially,
14:55
Speaker 1: and she did not she did not photograph baby boys,
15:00
Speaker 1: only baby girls, Nancy. So those are the specific people
15:04
Speaker 1: that she was praying on in this sixteen Take a
15:08
Speaker 1: listen to what police are saying. Now. We have about
15:12
Speaker 1: a dozen people are so that have contacted us through
15:15
Speaker 1: different means that believe that they had contact from her,
15:19
Speaker 1: and or she showed up in TECT some photosographs, and
15:22
Speaker 1: that's all part of the information that we're putting together
15:25
Speaker 1: for a future as the investigation continues. Our two detect
15:28
Speaker 1: us right down here a work in the case, and
15:30
Speaker 1: they're by no means done with this yet. There's a
15:33
Speaker 1: lot to do. Single moms, moms, low income moms. What
15:39
Speaker 1: more do we know about the victims she targeted le
15:42
Speaker 1: by page, Just like you said, Nancy, some of them
15:45
Speaker 1: were struggling financially, having problems finding home, didn't know how
15:51
Speaker 1: they were going to care for their child after their
15:53
Speaker 1: child was going to be born, they wanted a photograph taken.
15:57
Speaker 1: A lot of them couldn't afford them, so she was
15:59
Speaker 1: offering it for free. And we see this a lot, Nancy,
16:03
Speaker 1: and we've even seen cases. There was a big, high
16:07
Speaker 1: profile case not long ago where a newborn was taken
16:10
Speaker 1: from the hospital and raised to adulthood with a woman
16:14
Speaker 1: that was not even her mother. And is that what
16:17
Speaker 1: was going to happen here? I mean, I'm glad that
16:20
Speaker 1: she would stop before she was able to take one
16:23
Speaker 1: of these children, because we know a lot of these
16:26
Speaker 1: poor families don't have the resources to fight for justice
16:30
Speaker 1: for their kids after they've been kidnapped, and it's easy
16:33
Speaker 1: to target these moms that allegedly Juliette Parker was targeting.
16:41
Speaker 1: Let me harken back to the case of nineteen year
16:43
Speaker 1: old Marlon Achoa. She had posted quote help a sister out.
16:49
Speaker 1: I need help. I'm having a baby. Does anybody have
16:54
Speaker 1: clothes baby goods that I could use, borrow or could
17:00
Speaker 1: you donate them? She was having a hard time, she
17:04
Speaker 1: reached out for help, and then her killer, Clarissa Figuoha,
17:11
Speaker 1: saw that and used it to her advantage. That's where
17:15
Speaker 1: we're talking about listen. Nineteen year old Marline o'choa was
17:20
Speaker 1: nine months pregnant when she went missing on April twenty third.
17:24
Speaker 1: Hours later that same day, a forty six year old
17:27
Speaker 1: woman came running out of her home here claiming that
17:30
Speaker 1: she had just given birth to a baby boy and
17:33
Speaker 1: he wasn't breathing. The baby was rushed to christ and
17:36
Speaker 1: he remains there in intensive care. The family has since
17:40
Speaker 1: determined Marline came to the home on seventy seventh Place
17:43
Speaker 1: to swap items arranged through a Facebook group called Help
17:47
Speaker 1: a Sister Out. The older woman claimed to have a
17:49
Speaker 1: stroller and other items. She was giving clothes away, supposedly
17:54
Speaker 1: under the presenses that her daughters had been giving closes
17:58
Speaker 1: as they had all these extra boy clothes and that's
18:00
Speaker 1: where the false pizza says that I believe let her
18:03
Speaker 1: to that house. Neighbors say the people being questioned include
18:06
Speaker 1: the forty six year old woman, her boyfriend, her daughter,
18:09
Speaker 1: and a man in his twenties. They were also surprised
18:12
Speaker 1: by an alleged birth, since no one knew of a pregnancy.
18:15
Speaker 1: The Facebook group Marlin used is said to be shut down.
18:19
Speaker 1: A member says she had talked with others about taking
18:22
Speaker 1: precautions when making exchanges. Don't go on strangers houses. I'll
18:27
Speaker 1: always bring somebody with you. No. I think it's making
18:29
Speaker 1: people more aware. We're hopeful, we have faith, they're preparing
18:33
Speaker 1: for the worst time. Stories with Nancy Grace. I ate
18:55
Speaker 1: a cupcake. I ate one, I was fine, and I
18:58
Speaker 1: ate another one, and my face started instantly going dumb. Okay,
19:03
Speaker 1: And then they asked if I was getting tired or not?
19:07
Speaker 1: Where was this? As something up my house? Like something's
19:11
Speaker 1: wrong with me? Who do you think someone might have
19:14
Speaker 1: drugged you? Yeah? I always know what happened, like seven
19:23
Speaker 1: when I ate the cupcakes? Who are the people that
19:26
Speaker 1: might have drugged you? Where are they? They're gone now?
19:31
Speaker 1: They are were my my kids? This photographer? Okay, they
19:37
Speaker 1: gave you the cupcake? Yeah, okay, I'll tell you something's
19:45
Speaker 1: rong with me. Okay, I don't so good. Yeah, we're
19:48
Speaker 1: gonna get somebody out there. Okay, I mean it's he Grace.
19:53
Speaker 1: This is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.
19:56
Speaker 1: Juliet Parker, did she pose as a baby photographer to
20:04
Speaker 1: steal a baby from a young mom? Take a listen
20:09
Speaker 1: to this. But once I ate the cupcake. It was
20:13
Speaker 1: pretty instant. Within minutes, I started going numb and whatnot.
20:18
Speaker 1: And I asked her questions and she gave me an
20:21
Speaker 1: answer that did it make sense to the cupcake and
20:27
Speaker 1: how I was feeling as the drugs went into my system.
20:34
Speaker 1: It was progressive, worse and worse. And I then reached
20:37
Speaker 1: out to somebody and sent them mine and my children's names,
20:42
Speaker 1: like full names, data, births, everything, and then reported I
20:47
Speaker 1: think she drugged me and like ABCD of what was
20:51
Speaker 1: continuing to happen. So I had that going on at
20:56
Speaker 1: the same time. And then obviously you got was getting
21:01
Speaker 1: my kids ready for bed so they were in like
21:03
Speaker 1: my control, and then asking her and her daughter to
21:07
Speaker 1: leave my house joining me. Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina trial lawyer.
21:11
Speaker 1: You can find her at NC Domestic law dot com.
21:14
Speaker 1: Kathleen Murphy, what about it? I think that this woman
21:17
Speaker 1: has such a crazy history because she was wiping her
21:21
Speaker 1: fingerprints off of items in this house. Then she was
21:25
Speaker 1: using her personal cell phone. But Nancy, I have to
21:29
Speaker 1: give a shout out to the police officers in this
21:31
Speaker 1: particular case, because these police officers saw that this woman
21:36
Speaker 1: was terrified of the photographer. They went above and beyond
21:40
Speaker 1: the call of duty, and they paid to have her
21:44
Speaker 1: locks changed on her apartment door so that she would
21:47
Speaker 1: feel safe. To our senior producer, Jackie Howard, Jackie wah In,
21:51
Speaker 1: Kathleen Murphy is right, Nancy, the Pierce County Deputies bought
21:55
Speaker 1: the victim new locks and window guards and installed them
21:58
Speaker 1: in their home while they were investigating this attempted kidnapping,
22:02
Speaker 1: and a patrol car was also placed outside of her house.
22:06
Speaker 1: That's because the victim said she was missing her car
22:10
Speaker 1: keys and her house keys when Juliette Parker and her
22:13
Speaker 1: daughter left her home. As you heard her say just
22:17
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, Parker did call her and say
22:20
Speaker 1: that she had someone to return her keys. But the
22:23
Speaker 1: problem and the concern was did she make copies. Listen,
22:30
Speaker 1: I'm terrified she's gonna get back out like this is
22:34
Speaker 1: my kids, this is my house. She violated that, she
22:38
Speaker 1: violated my safety, try to kidnap my daughter. Seeing her,
22:45
Speaker 1: it's scary. I'm terrified she could come back. Anything could happen.
22:52
Speaker 1: She could be successful next time and take her, take
22:55
Speaker 1: my other child. Anything's possible. To night, I can have
23:02
Speaker 1: my knife two inches further away from me. Yes, But
23:08
Speaker 1: will I be able to take a shower knowing that
23:11
Speaker 1: she could bail out and come to my house? No?
23:15
Speaker 1: Will I sleep content? No? Just because she's behind bars,
23:21
Speaker 1: that doesn't give me a piece of mind. She still
23:23
Speaker 1: knows where I live at. She still knows my children.
23:27
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at k I r
23:32
Speaker 1: oh seven, Seattle. This is Jessica. Oh and to think
23:37
Speaker 1: that that came this close? Is that happening to us?
23:42
Speaker 1: I'm not sleeping tonight. Sarah Elizabeth, who asked that we
23:45
Speaker 1: not show her face, isn't shock tonight after hearing the
23:48
Speaker 1: photographers she was trying to hire for portraits of her
23:51
Speaker 1: baby just got arrested for roofing a mom during a photoshoot.
23:55
Speaker 1: She drugged her cupcake. That's we believe the ladies liberately
24:00
Speaker 1: planning on selecting a baby and kidnapping the baby and
24:03
Speaker 1: leaving the state. Pier Scotty detectives say she tricked parents
24:06
Speaker 1: by posing as a photographer on Facebook groups offering free
24:10
Speaker 1: pictures for newborn babies so she could build a portfolio.
24:13
Speaker 1: And so I reached out to her commenting on it.
24:15
Speaker 1: So she was saying, I know I have a new
24:17
Speaker 1: baby just got out of Nike. Sarah was excited, but
24:20
Speaker 1: then she learned about what happened when police say that
24:22
Speaker 1: photographer went to another mom's home just last week, and
24:25
Speaker 1: then when they row feed and drugged one of the participants,
24:29
Speaker 1: she got sick and called them out on it. They fled.
24:32
Speaker 1: So all these women are coming forward. That was Sarah Elizabeth.
24:37
Speaker 1: We now believe there are many other victims. We know
24:41
Speaker 1: Parker did three photo shoots with this victim before drugging
24:45
Speaker 1: her in an attempt to gain her trust. You know,
24:49
Speaker 1: there's another issue to this. How do you convince your
24:53
Speaker 1: sixteen year old daughter to go along with what you're doing?
24:57
Speaker 1: You know, did Joe Scott Morgan, forensics expert, Professor Forensics,
25:01
Speaker 1: Jacksonville State University and author of Blood Beneath My Feet
25:04
Speaker 1: on Amazon? What evidence do you believe exists to tie
25:09
Speaker 1: her back to this mom's story? You know, I think
25:12
Speaker 1: that her proximity to this poor mother reaching out to
25:18
Speaker 1: her kind of setting debate. I think one of the
25:22
Speaker 1: most troubling things about this Nancy are the use of
25:26
Speaker 1: drugs in order to try to subdue her. I'd like
25:30
Speaker 1: to know if the police had kind of tracked this
25:33
Speaker 1: backwards relative to what this individual was being given in
25:38
Speaker 1: order to sedate her to the point where she could
25:40
Speaker 1: be very, very vulnerable. Well, what would happen if you
25:42
Speaker 1: got GHB g amahi joxy bututrate. They're saying, ruffie, yeah,
25:46
Speaker 1: and so with the ruffies the hibban all. You want
25:50
Speaker 1: to think about this in terms of how did she
25:53
Speaker 1: get access to it and how was it applied. This
25:58
Speaker 1: is a very, very a scary situation when you think
26:02
Speaker 1: about the dosages that are being used. What is it
26:05
Speaker 1: that's going to be enough to push them over the
26:07
Speaker 1: edge to a lethal amount. One of the things that
26:11
Speaker 1: would have to happen is that specific talk college. You
26:15
Speaker 1: would have to be drawn in the victim's body and
26:18
Speaker 1: marry that up with whatever the perpetrator had at their
26:22
Speaker 1: disposal in order to subject this individual too. Take a
26:26
Speaker 1: listen to this. Then she gave me the cupcakes. That
26:30
Speaker 1: one it takes fine and in the second one and
26:33
Speaker 1: I initially started feeling okay, and you started have you
26:39
Speaker 1: ever reacted yet foods like this before? No? Okay? All right?
26:45
Speaker 1: What's your name? Alicia? E? L I Sia Alicia? Did
26:51
Speaker 1: you also want the police to respond to report this
26:57
Speaker 1: jays a little bit. I just need to figure out
26:59
Speaker 1: what wrong with me, kind of after love, Like I
27:03
Speaker 1: couldn't find my house keys or my car keys ocause
27:06
Speaker 1: they were missing. Are you sure you don't want them released?
27:09
Speaker 1: Also contact you? I guess they can. Yeah, I don't
27:15
Speaker 1: know why. Time Stories with Nancy Grace um As. I
27:38
Speaker 1: stated that I'm carrying a machete with me, a knife
27:41
Speaker 1: with me, pepper spray with me in my house. Even
27:45
Speaker 1: there's my knife with me at all times. My machete
27:49
Speaker 1: goes with every room that I'm in. My kids have
27:52
Speaker 1: to stay in the room that I'm in at all times,
27:55
Speaker 1: so that way she came back, I'd be able to
27:58
Speaker 1: protect them. We're talking about JULIETT. Parker. Did she pose
28:05
Speaker 1: as a baby photographer to steal a baby from a
28:11
Speaker 1: young mom? Take a listen to our friend Jessica O
28:16
Speaker 1: at ki r O. Seattle detectives say the suspect has
28:21
Speaker 1: plenty of aliases. Pierce County detectives say this is video
28:24
Speaker 1: of her when she ran for mayor in Colorado Springs
28:27
Speaker 1: last year under the name Juliet Parker. Looking back, Sarah
28:31
Speaker 1: can see all the red flags she had said she
28:33
Speaker 1: was looking for a pregnant women, but she had made
28:36
Speaker 1: some emphasis on being very near their due date. Shocked
28:39
Speaker 1: to realize, detectives say the suspect was baby shopping and
28:42
Speaker 1: curious to learn if other parents had close calls to
28:46
Speaker 1: I'm worried about who else is out there. I know
28:48
Speaker 1: I saw quite a few other women who commented on
28:50
Speaker 1: her post. And we should note the woman who was
28:53
Speaker 1: drugged actually did three photo shoots with that suspect before
28:56
Speaker 1: she realized, before anything ever even happened, and detectives say
29:00
Speaker 1: that really goes to show how much the suspect was
29:02
Speaker 1: trying to win over trust. And they also told us
29:05
Speaker 1: they really do believe there are additional victims out there,
29:08
Speaker 1: and listen to this woman. Juliette Parker, in her own
29:14
Speaker 1: word speaking to NBC five KOA A background. Let's see,
29:18
Speaker 1: I'm a mother of two. My dad was an army
29:21
Speaker 1: officer in my entire life, so I moved around a lot.
29:24
Speaker 1: Once I was able to finally pick a place to
29:26
Speaker 1: settle myself, I decided on Colorado Springs. We had we
29:30
Speaker 1: came here frequently in between moving from base to base,
29:33
Speaker 1: and it was always somewhere that was like when I
29:35
Speaker 1: grow up, I'm going to move there, and so when
29:37
Speaker 1: I was able to, I did. Other than that, I've
29:40
Speaker 1: ran and built several businesses of my own. I've gone
29:44
Speaker 1: to several different colleges. I don't actually have a college degree.
29:46
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't go to college with the anticipation
29:49
Speaker 1: that I wanted to do that as a career, something
29:51
Speaker 1: more of an entrepreneur kind of person. But I wanted
29:55
Speaker 1: to get a bunch of different experiences and learn things
29:57
Speaker 1: that I didn't know already. So what do we know
30:00
Speaker 1: about her LEVI page Nancy? She ran for mayor in
30:03
Speaker 1: Colorado Springs and came in second place. And we also
30:07
Speaker 1: know that she ran a nonprofit called MENDA, which stands
30:11
Speaker 1: for a Meaningful Empowerment through New Development and Art, and
30:15
Speaker 1: that she considered herself an advocate for the homeless and
30:19
Speaker 1: was an advocate for affordable housing. Nancy, and she claims
30:24
Speaker 1: that she had worked specifically with homeless veterans, and it
30:28
Speaker 1: just makes you wonder, you know, we see her targeting
30:32
Speaker 1: the mothers of newborns, what did she do with these
30:36
Speaker 1: homeless veterans. I mean, these are vulnerable people too, which
30:40
Speaker 1: she's scamming them, doing something to them as well. I
30:44
Speaker 1: think that there's going to be more layers to her
30:47
Speaker 1: background as the story developed. Listen to King five, Seattle,
30:51
Speaker 1: Tony black Chers County Sheriff's deputies arrested a thirty eight
30:53
Speaker 1: year old woman and her sixteen year old daughter Friday
30:56
Speaker 1: while they investigate claims and to allegedly pose as photographers
30:59
Speaker 1: and drug them so they could take her newborn child.
31:02
Speaker 1: And she used a fake photographer photography studio persona and
31:07
Speaker 1: joined some parent groups, baby groups, and bound some people
31:11
Speaker 1: on Facebook offering free services. The woman was posting on
31:15
Speaker 1: Facebook under the name Juliette Parker. Authorities believe that's one
31:18
Speaker 1: of many aliases that she's been using. Detective ed Troyer
31:21
Speaker 1: says the two befriended a victim through those Facebook posts
31:24
Speaker 1: and came to the victims home three times. Authorities say
31:27
Speaker 1: the victim was given a cupcake by the daughter and
31:30
Speaker 1: immediately fell ill. Basically, she was drugged. They put drugs
31:34
Speaker 1: in a cupcake. She ate it for an attempt to
31:36
Speaker 1: take her kid. The victim filed a police report, and
31:38
Speaker 1: Detective Troyer says through their investigation, they discovered a shocking
31:41
Speaker 1: plant obviously shows that she was attempting to find an
31:45
Speaker 1: infant to take and take out a state and go
31:48
Speaker 1: raises her own. There's gonna be one heck of a
31:50
Speaker 1: digital trail for police to follow. Listen to Tony Black.
31:55
Speaker 1: Thousands of comments, mostly from parents, were made within hours
31:58
Speaker 1: of Pierce County posting the arrest on their Facebook page.
32:01
Speaker 1: Troyer says, what's terrifying is how close this plan came
32:04
Speaker 1: to actually working. Her house keys were missing, she remembers
32:08
Speaker 1: her wiping prints down in the kitchen. We think she
32:11
Speaker 1: was seeking females five weeks and younger because she wanted
32:15
Speaker 1: a girl, and she wanted him five weeks and younger
32:18
Speaker 1: so she could raise it herself, take it out of
32:20
Speaker 1: state and pretend it's a new born of her own.
32:23
Speaker 1: Authorities say the victim and her baby are okay, and
32:25
Speaker 1: they changed the lock on the victim's home and set
32:27
Speaker 1: up a patrol car outside of her place. Troyer stresses
32:30
Speaker 1: that if something is too good to be true, it
32:32
Speaker 1: probably is. She didn't have a photographer company, she didn't
32:36
Speaker 1: have a bakery where the cupcakes came from. Now, the
32:39
Speaker 1: sixteen year old daughter that was arrested here is being
32:41
Speaker 1: held at a juvenile detention facility. We are still learning
32:44
Speaker 1: more though about the woman that is inside this Pierce
32:47
Speaker 1: County jail. Troyer did mention and she had involvement in
32:50
Speaker 1: a theft of materials that could be used to be
32:52
Speaker 1: that could be used to make bombs. She apparently stole
32:55
Speaker 1: us from the JBLM a few years back, and she
32:57
Speaker 1: also reportedly has political ties in Colorado Springs. Char Senior
33:02
Speaker 1: producer Jackie Howard Jackie Wham Nancy Juliet Parker has pleaded
33:05
Speaker 1: not guilty to charges of assault and attempted kidnapping. Thirty
33:09
Speaker 1: eight year old Parker entered that plea in Pierce County
33:12
Speaker 1: Superior Court. Now, Parker had been released over the weekend
33:16
Speaker 1: on five thousand dollars bail. It was originally set at
33:19
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, but bonded down to ten percent, But after
33:23
Speaker 1: Parker pleaded not guilty to those charges of assault and
33:26
Speaker 1: attempted kidnapping, the judge raised her bail from fifty thousand
33:30
Speaker 1: dollars to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, saying that
33:34
Speaker 1: he had to consider the safety and security of children
33:37
Speaker 1: who may be involved, and she was rebooked into the
33:40
Speaker 1: Pierce County Jail. That was also due to the fact
33:43
Speaker 1: that the judge considered her a flight risk. Now, one
33:47
Speaker 1: of the things is you heard the victim mentioned earlier
33:50
Speaker 1: that she is now constantly afraid worried that Juliette Parker
33:55
Speaker 1: could get out since she knows where she lives. It
33:58
Speaker 1: also raises concerns for the least. And one of the
34:01
Speaker 1: things that we want to do is put a warning
34:02
Speaker 1: out there for other people. Don't necessarily trust what you
34:05
Speaker 1: see and here on social media. Make sure you're not
34:08
Speaker 1: a victim by having a second person with you in
34:11
Speaker 1: the residents. Trust your gut feeling if something's wrong. You know,
34:15
Speaker 1: if you have two people there or another adult, it's
34:17
Speaker 1: going to be less likely you're going to be targeted.
34:20
Speaker 1: And that goes with anything selling rings, if you're going
34:22
Speaker 1: to use the internet, or bringing people over. Goes back
34:26
Speaker 1: the old adage if it's too good to be trial,
34:28
Speaker 1: it probably is. Wow. We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy
