- 1:01Speaker 1: investigating her disappearance since she was reported missing. McKenna Milheim's
- 1:05Speaker 1: mother reported her daughter missing two days after receiving a
- 1:09Speaker 1: text from McKenna that she had been raped. According to
- 1:12Speaker 1: the Missouri State Highway Patrols Endangered Person Advisory for her,
- 1:16Speaker 1: Milhan was last seen on December twentieth. She was seen
- 1:20Speaker 1: getting into a black vehicle at the Come and Go
- 1:22Speaker 1: at National and Norton in Springfield. I'm Nancy Grace, what
- 1:27Speaker 1: happened to mckinna milhon? Have you ever heard the phrase
- 1:31Speaker 1: disappeared into thin air? We'll think about it. What if
- 1:36Speaker 1: that was your loved one, they went off to work
- 1:39Speaker 1: that morning, or they went about their business and you
- 1:41Speaker 1: just very simply never saw them again. I'm Nancy Grace.
- 1:46Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us
- 1:49Speaker 1: with me. Jason Wart journalist owner Ozark's Independent dot Com.
- 1:54Speaker 1: We're now medical examiner out of South Carolina. Doctor Michelle Dupree,
- 1:58Speaker 1: author of homicide Investigation field Guide. Doctor Bethany Marshall, psycho analyst,
- 2:04Speaker 1: joining us from Beverly Hills at Doctor Bethany Marshall dot com.

- 2:20Speaker 1: Darreld Cohen, and special guest joining us, Rain Marie Davis.
- 2:27Speaker 1: First of all, let's figure out what happened and where
- 2:32Speaker 1: was the last time McKenna Milhahn was seen alive. We
- 2:38Speaker 1: understand that she was last seeing getting into a vehicle
- 2:43Speaker 1: at the come and go, okay, I assume that that
- 2:46Speaker 1: is like a seven eleven. Jason Wurt, owner Ozar's Independent
- 2:51Speaker 1: dot Com. Tell me about the last time this beautiful,
- 2:56Speaker 1: young nineteen year old girl was seen alive, sane, alive.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Witnesses said that she was seeing at the location, she
- 3:05Speaker 1: was talking to people, Everything seemed fine. She climbed into
- 3:08Speaker 1: the vehicle with somebody that they said she appeared to know.
- 3:11Speaker 1: There was nothing that indicated she was scared or she
- 3:14Speaker 1: was afraid to be there. Climbed into the vehicle, they
- 3:17Speaker 1: pulled out into the night, and that was the last
- 3:19Speaker 1: she was seeing. Okay, what exactly is it coming? Guy?
- 3:23Speaker 1: It's your typical convenience store gas pumps, you know, like
- 3:26Speaker 1: a seven to eleven. You're pretty accurate in describing it.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I call everything a seven to eleven, and apparently that's
- 3:32Speaker 1: not correct. Jason, where's You're a journalist. I'm sure you
- 3:35Speaker 1: have an eye for detail. Okay, let me ask you this,
- 3:37Speaker 1: Jason wret were their surveillance videos. There were surveillance videos
- 3:43Speaker 1: that did catch her getting into the vehicle, but there
- 3:46Speaker 1: wasn't anything on the video that was released to the
- 3:48Speaker 1: public that really gave any indication as to who she
- 3:51Speaker 1: had gone with, and so that was part of the
- 3:53Speaker 1: problem is nobody really seemed to know who she had
- 3:56Speaker 1: disappeared with at the time. They just knew that she
- 3:59Speaker 1: had gotten into a vehicle, and it appeared that she
- 4:01Speaker 1: was on friendly terms with the person that she got
- 4:04Speaker 1: into the vehicle with. She wasn't forced into it, willingly
- 4:07Speaker 1: got into the vehicle. And we understand something, Jason. She
- 4:10Speaker 1: got into her own vehicle or someone else's vehicle, someone
- 4:14Speaker 1: else's vehicle. She was the passenger in the vehicle, but
- 4:18Speaker 1: nobody was forcing her to get into it. Do we
- 4:20Speaker 1: have any idea what she bought inside the cove and go?
- 4:23Speaker 1: I have not been able to find out what she
- 4:25Speaker 1: had bought inside the that would be interesting to me.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I don't know why, but you know, to Daryl Cohen,
- 4:31Speaker 1: former prosecutor or, a former felony prosecutor now defense attorney Atlanta,
- 4:35Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen, it's little details like that. I don't know why.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I just loved finding out every tiny detail about a
- 4:45Speaker 1: case I prosecuted or a story, as you well know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: because sometimes those details matter. For instance, what if she
- 4:53Speaker 1: bought a map? What if I mean, of course you
- 4:56Speaker 1: can look up ways or Google map, but what if
- 4:59Speaker 1: she bought map? What if she bought gloves and it's
- 5:05Speaker 1: hot outside? I mean, what if she bought beer. I
- 5:08Speaker 1: don't it matters what you buy. Every detail matters, dear
- 5:12Speaker 1: Old Cohen. When somebody goes missing, explain well, Nancy, the
- 5:16Speaker 1: more you know, the less you don't know, and you
- 5:19Speaker 1: start taking clue by clue, piece by piece and discarding
- 5:24Speaker 1: it or saying, well, you know what, as you point out, Nancy,
- 5:27Speaker 1: maybe she bought gloves. It was ninety five degrees on
- 5:30Speaker 1: that crazy day in December. Why would she do that?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Why would she buy a map when she has Google
- 5:37Speaker 1: or she has ways. Maybe she didn't want her cell
- 5:39Speaker 1: phone to be tracked. There's so many little, tiny things
- 5:43Speaker 1: that appear to be nothing that when you put them
- 5:46Speaker 1: all together, they are major, and they give you a
- 5:50Speaker 1: trail that you can follow to see what happened. Dearyl Cohen,
- 5:54Speaker 1: you know you're a tree defense attorney. I'm sorry to
- 5:56Speaker 1: say because your first statement, the more you know, the
- 5:59Speaker 1: more you don't know, is not exactly what I was
- 6:03Speaker 1: looking for. But you know that, said Bethany Marshall joining
- 6:07Speaker 1: me psychoanalyst out of Beverly Hills. Doctor Bethany, I want
- 6:12Speaker 1: you to get your head out of Rodeo's drive, as
- 6:14Speaker 1: they call it. Get your head into the real world,
- 6:17Speaker 1: doctor Bethany. Of course, no offense to you and your
- 6:19Speaker 1: high price clients. Bethany, I found it very interesting what
- 6:24Speaker 1: Jason worked from the Ozarks Independent dot Com said that
- 6:28Speaker 1: she got into the car of her own volition, that
- 6:32Speaker 1: she didn't seemed forced. What does that tell you, doctor Bethany,
- 6:37Speaker 1: And this is right here is very important. You know, Nancy,
- 6:41Speaker 1: as a psychoanalyst, I am always interested in the behavioral evidence,
- 6:47Speaker 1: not just what she might have been been buying in
- 6:49Speaker 1: the come and go, but what was the nature of
- 6:52Speaker 1: the relationship between the driver of that vehicle and her?
- 6:57Speaker 1: And the surveillance did not show that she was forced
- 7:00Speaker 1: into the car. So did they have a relationship that
- 7:04Speaker 1: began in the come and go? For instance, did they
- 7:08Speaker 1: strike up a conversation? Did they decide to go party?
- 7:11Speaker 1: And then it would be important if they bought alcohol
- 7:14Speaker 1: or tobacco or they being supplies, if there were any
- 7:19Speaker 1: such thing in the come and go? Did the driver
- 7:23Speaker 1: of this vehicle did they ever get the person's license plate?
- 7:26Speaker 1: Was that linked back to any online communication she had
- 7:30Speaker 1: with that particular individual? Who were McKenna's friends? Who did
- 7:34Speaker 1: she know? Was this person linked to anybody else she knew.
- 7:38Speaker 1: This kind of behavioral evidence can be shown not only
- 7:40Speaker 1: in what she purchased in the come and go, but
- 7:43Speaker 1: how she might have chatted with that person, what her
- 7:46Speaker 1: online presence was, if that online presence linked back to
- 7:50Speaker 1: that person. And also I would want to know from
- 7:52Speaker 1: the parents, you know, how extensive were her friendships in
- 7:56Speaker 1: this small town? Did she know? Was she a part
- 7:59Speaker 1: of a community one person might know another. I mean
- 8:01Speaker 1: maybe the person with whom she entered, who's the vehicle
- 8:05Speaker 1: she entered, was a stranger? Well not based on what
- 8:09Speaker 1: Jason we'ret's telling me, the person in the car was
- 8:11Speaker 1: not a stranger. And because she's seeing like normal, got
- 8:15Speaker 1: in the car talking, maybe smiling. But what is bothering
- 8:19Speaker 1: me Claude Steiger, among so many things, is that if
- 8:22Speaker 1: you could tell, as Jason weren't from Ozark's Independent dot
- 8:26Speaker 1: Com says that she got in willingly, she was fine,
- 8:29Speaker 1: she was smiling or talking. If you can tell all that,
- 8:32Speaker 1: why the hey, can't you tell who was in the car? Well,
- 8:35Speaker 1: I would think you might be able to tell who's
- 8:37Speaker 1: in the car. You may have there are probably other
- 8:39Speaker 1: video of that car before she had the interaction. Maybe
- 8:42Speaker 1: the guy got out of it, Did it was he
- 8:44Speaker 1: in this store? Yeah? You know, Oh you didn't get
- 8:48Speaker 1: out of the car. Well, then you got the car.
- 8:50Speaker 1: And Springfield, Missouri is not a huge town. Maybe they
- 8:53Speaker 1: talked to her close friends and said, do you know
- 8:56Speaker 1: who drives this car? Again, like doctor Bethany said, you'd
- 8:59Speaker 1: go through her online presence or Facebook or you know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: they didn't have her phone obviously, but all those things.
- 9:05Speaker 1: You can get her phone records to see who she
- 9:07Speaker 1: even calling, who she's been talking to. Well, I'm still
- 9:09Speaker 1: hung up on the fact that even in this day
- 9:12Speaker 1: and age, we can't enhance video because that would be
- 9:18Speaker 1: a prosecution's best friend. Who was she with last? That
- 9:24Speaker 1: is so critical in a case like this. All we
- 9:28Speaker 1: know now is that this young nineteen year old teen
- 9:32Speaker 1: girl and a small town goes to the come and
- 9:35Speaker 1: goes like seven to eleven. She goes in, she comes out,
- 9:39Speaker 1: she gets in her car, she drives off, and she's
- 9:44Speaker 1: never seen alive again. What happened to McKenna milhaun Just
- 9:51Speaker 1: nineteen time stories with Nancy Grace. She was always fun
- 10:11Speaker 1: to be around. She was a very very jovial individual.
- 10:16Speaker 1: She's my red headed Missouri Mule. But this isn't the
- 10:19Speaker 1: only time McKenna had been in the news. She was
- 10:24Speaker 1: actually the first baby born in this millennium in Springfield
- 10:28Speaker 1: and was featured in the Springfield Newsleader's Millennium Baby's feature
- 10:32Speaker 1: on January third, two thousand. She was born in the
- 10:35Speaker 1: January first, two thousand, so she and she was the
- 10:38Speaker 1: first one, so she was on the prep page of
- 10:40Speaker 1: the paper and everything. Mike says, McKenna had a great
- 10:43Speaker 1: sense of humor. She's a teenager that was enjoying life
- 10:48Speaker 1: with her friends. And that's what's that cut short. She
- 10:52Speaker 1: was just a fun loving person that liked people, and
- 10:57Speaker 1: people liked her. My other son and her could almost
- 11:01Speaker 1: verbat him quote all of the dialogue around the dinner
- 11:05Speaker 1: table from the movie, and her Nicknami became a shaken weak. Okay,
- 11:12Speaker 1: that's funny. You're hearing Mike Milhon talking about his granddaughter,
- 11:17Speaker 1: but the context is no laughing matter, because that granddaughter,
- 11:23Speaker 1: McKenna Milhon, goes missing after just an innocent trip to
- 11:27Speaker 1: the convenience store. You know, that's really troubling. Doctor Bethany
- 11:32Speaker 1: Marshall's psychoanalyst joining me out of Beverly Hills at doctor
- 11:35Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall dot com. Doctor Bethany I learned after the
- 11:39Speaker 1: murder of my fiance that life is just going along
- 11:42Speaker 1: as normal right as you think what you think normal is.
- 11:47Speaker 1: That day, I was finishing in an exam, the last
- 11:51Speaker 1: one of the quarter at Mercer University. I finished a
- 11:57Speaker 1: statistics exam and walked out. The hallway was dark inside
- 12:04Speaker 1: the building, the math building, and I walked out and
- 12:06Speaker 1: I remember thinking, wow, it is so bright and sunny
- 12:11Speaker 1: and beautiful. Had started walking and walked across campus to
- 12:18Speaker 1: my job, which was in the library, and I stopped
- 12:21Speaker 1: half away at the student union. There were no cell
- 12:23Speaker 1: phones and used a pay phone to call the library
- 12:27Speaker 1: and tell them I had been in the exam, and
- 12:30Speaker 1: I went like fifteen twenty minutes late, and I was
- 12:32Speaker 1: coming as fast as I could, and they told me
- 12:35Speaker 1: to call Keith's family. And I knew at that moment
- 12:40Speaker 1: that Keith was dead and everything had just been completely normal.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I saw him just that morning. Everything was fine. And
- 12:50Speaker 1: here a nineteen year old girl hops in her car
- 12:53Speaker 1: and goes to the gas station that come and go
- 12:57Speaker 1: the seven to eleven, and that's it. She's just gone,
- 13:02Speaker 1: and the dichotomy of a seemingly normal day just as
- 13:08Speaker 1: blown to agbl Alaback. I think that's part of the
- 13:12Speaker 1: shock when someone goes missing, Nancy. There is a dichotomy
- 13:17Speaker 1: because life is fragile. I mean, I listen to what
- 13:20Speaker 1: the family members are saying. They're talking about her personality,
- 13:24Speaker 1: her life, her friendships, what she meant to them, and
- 13:28Speaker 1: now she is not around and they don't know where
- 13:31Speaker 1: she is. And that's how danger happens. Nancy. We don't
- 13:36Speaker 1: necessarily see somebody stalking us across the parking lot. We
- 13:41Speaker 1: don't really know that somebody could be stalking us online,
- 13:45Speaker 1: or maybe an old boyfriend is preoccupied and planning some danger.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Mostly danger is outside of awareness. That's why it's so
- 13:55Speaker 1: important to be aware of our surroundings, to know about
- 14:00Speaker 1: strange for danger, to be careful about our attachment systems,
- 14:03Speaker 1: to not put ourselves in vulnerable situations. I know your fiance,
- 14:08Speaker 1: Keith did not put himself in a vulnerable situation. I
- 14:12Speaker 1: think if I recall he was going to get food
- 14:14Speaker 1: for a crew, that he was worked right so right,
- 14:16Speaker 1: he was studying. We met at Valdosta State where he
- 14:20Speaker 1: was on baseball scholarship. He was studying geology and he
- 14:24Speaker 1: had to transfer to complete his degree. And when he transferred,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I transferred to a nearby university. My dad wouldn't let
- 14:32Speaker 1: me go where he was going because he said it
- 14:34Speaker 1: was too big of a university for a little girl
- 14:37Speaker 1: from making. He was paying the bill, he and my mom,
- 14:40Speaker 1: so I had to go along with that. I sure
- 14:42Speaker 1: as didn't have enough money to pay tuition. So that's
- 14:46Speaker 1: how the whole thing happened. And he was working on
- 14:49Speaker 1: a construction crew that summer and left to go get
- 14:53Speaker 1: They were out in the middle of nowhere, a very
- 14:55Speaker 1: rural area building I guess, some sort of an industrial complex.
- 14:59Speaker 1: So left at lunch time to go get everyone's soft
- 15:02Speaker 1: drinks to go with their lunch that they brought. He
- 15:06Speaker 1: was pulling back in and it's been mistated many many times,
- 15:10Speaker 1: but a guy at least this is what the prosecutor
- 15:15Speaker 1: told me back at the time, that had been fired
- 15:20Speaker 1: the week before, I believe, was standing there angry. And
- 15:24Speaker 1: then the week before Keith had been hired. Keith pulls
- 15:28Speaker 1: in and the company truck and the guy just goes
- 15:30Speaker 1: berserk starts shooting. He had enough sense to steelcase wallet.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I know that much, but that's you're right, he was.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I hate to say this close it's so cliche. In
- 15:42Speaker 1: the wrong place, at the wrong time, but that is
- 15:44Speaker 1: exactly what happened, so he was within the normal scope
- 15:48Speaker 1: of his daily activity. Go ahead, Beth. I was just
- 15:52Speaker 1: saying that because of that abrupt quality with which we
- 15:58Speaker 1: can all be victims, we cannot always forestall danger, right,
- 16:02Speaker 1: We cannot always see what's coming, even though we have to.
- 16:05Speaker 1: But as much as possible, what I'm saying, as much
- 16:09Speaker 1: as possible, we have to be aware of what's going
- 16:13Speaker 1: on around us. And I think the best way to
- 16:15Speaker 1: be aware is to always just check your surroundings. When
- 16:20Speaker 1: you're leaving your car, or you're entering your car, you're
- 16:22Speaker 1: in a strange place, you're in a parking lot, if
- 16:25Speaker 1: you're working for a company like Keith did, if somebody's
- 16:28Speaker 1: been fired or there's some imminent danger, be aware of
- 16:32Speaker 1: the stats on workplace shootings one in four workplace shootings,
- 16:38Speaker 1: or because somebody has recently been fired, or they experienced
- 16:41Speaker 1: that they're not making as much money as somebody else,
- 16:44Speaker 1: or there's a power to differential. You can just go
- 16:46Speaker 1: online and read about danger and at least fortify yourself
- 16:51Speaker 1: with knowledge, so at least you have a little bit
- 16:53Speaker 1: of an advantage in life. Joining me, Jason worked from
- 16:56Speaker 1: the Ozark's Independent Jason, tell me something. Tell me about
- 17:00Speaker 1: the area right now, because obviously the first person you
- 17:03Speaker 1: look at is whoever is in that vehicle with her.
- 17:05Speaker 1: But what time of the day or night was it?
- 17:07Speaker 1: And tell me about the area where the seven to
- 17:09Speaker 1: eleven was. Well, the area, I mean, it's a fairly
- 17:13Speaker 1: trafficked area, but it was in the middle of the evening.
- 17:16Speaker 1: I mean we're talking late at night. She got there,
- 17:22Speaker 1: she was actually dropped off there by a friend. And
- 17:26Speaker 1: what's interesting to me, Nancy, if you look at the
- 17:28Speaker 1: probable cost statements from the Sheriff's office, they described the
- 17:33Speaker 1: person she got into the vehicle with as a friend,
- 17:36Speaker 1: and so the people connected to her there was that
- 17:39Speaker 1: established relationship. So she knew him ahead of time before
- 17:43Speaker 1: getting into the vehicle with him. And so I think
- 17:46Speaker 1: that's pretty telling that, you know, you talk about somebody
- 17:49Speaker 1: just disappears without a trace. This is somebody that she knew,
- 17:53Speaker 1: she had established a relationship, but she trusted. She had
- 17:56Speaker 1: no idea she might be in danger when she got
- 17:58Speaker 1: into that vehicle. Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott says McKenna
- 18:01Speaker 1: Milhon's body was found outside this house earlier today. He
- 18:06Speaker 1: says deputies don't think the nineteen year old had a
- 18:09Speaker 1: connection with the home. The Springfield Police Department had been
- 18:12Speaker 1: investigating her disappearance since she was reported missing. According to
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Missouri State Highway Patrols Endangered Person Advisory for her,
- 18:20Speaker 1: Milhon was last seen on December twentieth. She was seen
- 18:23Speaker 1: getting into a black vehicle at the come and Go
- 18:26Speaker 1: at National and Norton in Springfield. Shaff Jim Arnott says
- 18:30Speaker 1: right now, authorities don't know what caused her death, but
- 18:33Speaker 1: says it is being considered suspicious. Right now, we're investigating
- 18:37Speaker 1: it as a homicide, as we do with any suspicious death.
- 18:41Speaker 1: We'll work backwards from there and hopefully have some answers
- 18:44Speaker 1: here shortly and right now, this house is occupied and
- 18:48Speaker 1: we're still conducting an investigation a little early on at
- 18:51Speaker 1: this point. If we feel that we need to extend it,
- 18:53Speaker 1: we'll extend it. But right now we think we have
- 18:55Speaker 1: the scene contained of just this small area. What started
- 18:58Speaker 1: as a disappearance ends when this nineteen year old girl,
- 19:02Speaker 1: McKenna Milhaun's body is found dead outside the home. This
- 19:06Speaker 1: is after she had been missing for ten days, getting
- 19:11Speaker 1: into a car at a local convenience store, perfectly happy,
- 19:15Speaker 1: everything fine, no sign of distress whatsoever. You're hearing our
- 19:19Speaker 1: friends at KY three Springfield. That was nicki Ougle speaking
- 19:24Speaker 1: What happened? How was the body found? How are people
- 19:28Speaker 1: inside the home and they don't know what happened? How
- 19:31Speaker 1: did a body end up in their yard? Are they
- 19:34Speaker 1: the ones that reported it? Guys Nancy Grace here we
- 19:45Speaker 1: are heading straight into breaking crime and justice news. But first,
- 19:49Speaker 1: how can you keep yourself and your children safe? I
- 19:54Speaker 1: have investigated and prosecuted literally thousands of felony cases. I
- 20:01Speaker 1: have covered literally thousands of cases of missing people, adults
- 20:07Speaker 1: and children, unsolved homicides, violent crimes. After all the cases,
- 20:14Speaker 1: after speaking to all the victims, all the police, all
- 20:17Speaker 1: the witnesses, over years, what can we do about it?
- 20:23Speaker 1: I don't want to just sit back and report on it.
- 20:26Speaker 1: I want to take action, and I know you must
- 20:29Speaker 1: feel the same way. You don't want to just hear
- 20:31Speaker 1: about crime. You want to do something about it. And
- 20:34Speaker 1: do something to stop it. And here is the news,
- 20:38Speaker 1: Don't Be a Victim, Fighting back against America's crime Wave,
- 20:43Speaker 1: a brand new book. After interviewing literally hundreds of crime
- 20:49Speaker 1: victims and police, we put our knowledge into Don't Be

- 21:29Speaker 1: girl gone missing ends up dead, I mean, Nancy Grace.
- 21:33Speaker 1: This is crime Stories straight out to Jason, we're journalist
- 21:37Speaker 1: Ozark's Independent dot Com. How was she killed? Do we
- 21:41Speaker 1: know the cause of death yet, Jason? And how did
- 21:43Speaker 1: this family or whoever lived in that home not know
- 21:46Speaker 1: there was a dead body in the yard? Well, what
- 21:48Speaker 1: we've been told is there was nobody in the home
- 21:50Speaker 1: at the time and the cause of death Nancy was
- 21:53Speaker 1: stab wounds to her neck. The report that came in
- 21:57Speaker 1: from the corner is that she was three or four
- 22:00Speaker 1: times in the neck with a sharp object. Stab wounds
- 22:04Speaker 1: to the neck. To doctor Michelle Dupree, renowned medical examiner,
- 22:09Speaker 1: joining us out of South Carolina, author of Homicide Investigation
- 22:13Speaker 1: Field Guy, Doctor dupree. When you're not joining us on
- 22:15Speaker 1: crime stories, you gotta get busy. I need another book.
- 22:19Speaker 1: I've already been through Homocide Investigation Field Guy, and now
- 22:23Speaker 1: I need part two. There's been a lot of changes
- 22:26Speaker 1: in advances since you wrote that. I need you to
- 22:28Speaker 1: update that. I don't trust anybody else, doctor dupre. Let's
- 22:32Speaker 1: talk about a stab wound to the neck. Three stabs
- 22:37Speaker 1: to the neck, because you know when that first stab happened,
- 22:41Speaker 1: there had to be extensive bleeding. I'm not talking about
- 22:48Speaker 1: a trickle of blood. I'm talking about spurting geyser of
- 22:53Speaker 1: blood from a stab in the neck. Yes, Nancy, especially
- 22:58Speaker 1: if that stab wing hit an artery. Arteries are under
- 23:01Speaker 1: pressure and there would be a significant amount of spurting blood.
- 23:06Speaker 1: If by chance, it did hit a vein, it would
- 23:08Speaker 1: still be a lot of blood, but it wouldn't be
- 23:10Speaker 1: spurting quite so much. We know that December twenty, about
- 23:14Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night, McKenna was seen getting into a
- 23:17Speaker 1: black vehicle at the seven eleven there on Norton Road,
- 23:21Speaker 1: North Springville. Perfectly good neighborhood, low crime rate, we know
- 23:27Speaker 1: also a very unusual, unusual fact, Milhun contacted her mother
- 23:35Speaker 1: by phone to say she had been assaulted, raped, and
- 23:41Speaker 1: was possibly in Blue Eye or a Lampy. The call
- 23:45Speaker 1: disconnected after about four minutes. Now, according to my timeline,
- 23:52Speaker 1: that call to her mom was made the next day,
- 23:57Speaker 1: December twenty one. To Jason word O Zark's Independent dot com,
- 24:02Speaker 1: what do you know about that phone call? Well, to
- 24:04Speaker 1: think about the phone call is Lampy and Blue Eye
- 24:06Speaker 1: is about sixty five miles away from Springfield, so they
- 24:11Speaker 1: were well over an hour hour and a half away
- 24:13Speaker 1: from Springfield. And that area is very rural. So if
- 24:17Speaker 1: actually had a cell phone signal all to make a
- 24:19Speaker 1: four and a half minute call is surprising in and
- 24:21Speaker 1: of itself, So I'm not surprised to call dropped and
- 24:25Speaker 1: they that was information that really wasn't released to the
- 24:28Speaker 1: public until after a restaurma and everything. So we had
- 24:31Speaker 1: no idea that had actually taken place. At the point,
- 24:35Speaker 1: we just knew she was missing. We didn't have any
- 24:37Speaker 1: other information. Being well, why don't get that Chloyd Stiger,
- 24:40Speaker 1: you know, thirty six years Seattle PD, twenty two years
- 24:43Speaker 1: homicide detective and author, Why would police sit on that
- 24:47Speaker 1: if we know she's calling from an area Lampy or
- 24:51Speaker 1: Blue I sixty five miles away. I mean, why not
- 24:56Speaker 1: put it out there that that's where she's last seen.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Get the public work. Well, you know, sometimes that's a
- 25:01Speaker 1: tough call sometimes whether what's to release and what not
- 25:04Speaker 1: to release. You always want to see some things because
- 25:06Speaker 1: I'm sure they were in contact with the police or
- 25:09Speaker 1: sheriff whoever it is, out in that area and centered
- 25:12Speaker 1: their investigation into that neighborhood. But you know, you never know.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Sometimes you put stuff out and then you're moving a
- 25:19Speaker 1: boy getting like false confessions and stuff from people. If
- 25:21Speaker 1: if you have stuff that only the killer knows and
- 25:26Speaker 1: then he tells you that and you know he couldn't
- 25:28Speaker 1: got anywhere else. Well, Chloyd Steiger, I normally agree with you,
- 25:31Speaker 1: but under these exigent circumstances, that would be more interested
- 25:34Speaker 1: in finding the girl alive. A nineteen year old girl,
- 25:38Speaker 1: for Pete's sake, that's just a few years older than
- 25:40Speaker 1: my twins that are twelve. And here is a girl
- 25:43Speaker 1: and there's something so heartbreaking to me, Doctor Bethany Marshall
- 25:48Speaker 1: that she gets raped and she calls her mommy. She
- 25:52Speaker 1: calls her mother to tell her what's happened, and then
- 25:56Speaker 1: the phone call gets cut off abruptly. Nancy, it is
- 26:00Speaker 1: so heartbreaking that was her first call. You know, a
- 26:03Speaker 1: lot of women who are assaulted becomes so ashamed and
- 26:07Speaker 1: so frightened that they tell no one. But McKenna had
- 26:11Speaker 1: the type of trusting, dependent relationship with her mother that
- 26:17Speaker 1: that was her first call. I cannot imagine the mother
- 26:20Speaker 1: receiving a call like this, the call being broken off,
- 26:24Speaker 1: and then the police not wanting to put out like
- 26:26Speaker 1: an all point bulletin to find out where she is.
- 26:29Speaker 1: I mean the heartbreak and the not knowing, and you
- 26:33Speaker 1: know we talk about the body being found in the ditch.
- 26:36Speaker 1: When the mother received that call, she did not know
- 26:39Speaker 1: that her daughter was going to be murdered. She just
- 26:42Speaker 1: was desperate to find her daughter and terrified that her
- 26:45Speaker 1: daughter has been raped. Well, maybe I'm not understanding the
- 26:47Speaker 1: timeline correctly, but to you, Jason wert Ozar's independent explain
- 26:52Speaker 1: to me, she calls her mom to say she's been raped,
- 26:58Speaker 1: but then everything just drops, isn't it like two days
- 27:03Speaker 1: later before police put out the alert. Well, her mother
- 27:07Speaker 1: actually didn't go to the police until the next day,
- 27:10Speaker 1: so there was a little bit of time delay between
- 27:13Speaker 1: that call Andrew actually going and filing the report with
- 27:16Speaker 1: the police. As soon as the police did get that
- 27:18Speaker 1: report that that happened, they immediately send something out to
- 27:21Speaker 1: the local media with the information of where she had
- 27:24Speaker 1: been taken as she was last seeing it to come
- 27:26Speaker 1: and go. They did not glue the information about Lampy
- 27:29Speaker 1: and what we received at Ozark's independent, but they made
- 27:33Speaker 1: it very clear of who they were looking for, the
- 27:35Speaker 1: vehicle she was in, and so they released pretty much
- 27:38Speaker 1: the information they usually released when someone goes missing. Two.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen, former prosecutor now defense attorney, joining us out
- 27:48Speaker 1: of the Atlanta jurisdiction. Daryl, you know, I've worked with
- 27:52Speaker 1: Mark Klass for so many years. You know, its daughter
- 27:55Speaker 1: Pauli went missing and was actually kidnapped from her own home.
- 28:00Speaker 1: She was having a sleepover. He is, you know, the
- 28:04Speaker 1: the ultimate, the gold standard and what to do if
- 28:07Speaker 1: someone goes missing. But in my mind, this should have
- 28:10Speaker 1: been her photo on TV, on radio, on billboards, on
- 28:14Speaker 1: if you can't get a billboard, the flyers, and I'm
- 28:17Speaker 1: getting the sense that none of that happened in this case, Nancy,
- 28:20Speaker 1: the more I hear, the more questions I were. You
- 28:22Speaker 1: quit saying that for Pete's sake. More information, more, the
- 28:26Speaker 1: more you know, you the more you don't know. The
- 28:28Speaker 1: more I know, the more questions I have. You know
- 28:30Speaker 1: I'm not a job. Don't try to buddy the water.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I may have gone semi dark side, but not completely.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I'm concerned. We have a four minute phone call. I
- 28:41Speaker 1: was raped. Mom does not report it immediately to the police.
- 28:45Speaker 1: What does that tell me? It tells me that McKenna
- 28:49Speaker 1: was with somebody that her mom knew, and her mom
- 28:52Speaker 1: may have been upset that she was raped according to
- 28:56Speaker 1: her daughter, but didn't report it, which means mom is familiar.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Year was a person that McKenna was with. That is
- 29:04Speaker 1: likely in my view, why she did not report it
- 29:07Speaker 1: to the police until she didn't hear back. I got
- 29:09Speaker 1: to find out who was in that car. You're absolutely right.
- 29:12Speaker 1: But before we go into forensics and the stab wounds
- 29:16Speaker 1: and how many stab wounds, let me tell you something.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Kenna Milhan was born January one, two thousand, Springfield, and
- 29:25Speaker 1: she was a millennial baby for Springfield, the first baby
- 29:29Speaker 1: born in two thousand at one eight eight m She
- 29:34Speaker 1: graduated from Reid's Spring High School. She went to Ozark
- 29:38Speaker 1: Technical College. She was studying to be a nurse. She
- 29:43Speaker 1: wanted to become a pediatrician, a baby doctor. According to
- 29:48Speaker 1: her family, she had the most beautiful smile that could
- 29:52Speaker 1: light up your soul. Mom says she tried to see
- 29:56Speaker 1: the best in everyone and never met a stranger. She
- 30:00Speaker 1: had a huge heart. She loved animals, loved her brothers.
- 30:07Speaker 1: It hurts me to read this young girl's obituary as
- 30:11Speaker 1: we try to hash out forensic evidence and video surveillance
- 30:16Speaker 1: and wound patterns and timelines. This little girl, mckennah Milhoan
- 30:23Speaker 1: was kidnapped and murdered. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace looking
- 30:42Speaker 1: into the past of Lonnie Williams, who also goes by Leon.
- 30:47Speaker 1: He was charged today with first degree murder in the
- 30:49Speaker 1: death of McKenna milhan. So a first degree murder is
- 30:53Speaker 1: committed when someone knowingly kills another person after deliberation. As
- 30:57Speaker 1: we looked at the elements of the offense facts as
- 31:00Speaker 1: we know him from the investigation currently, the facts of
- 31:03Speaker 1: this kats met those standards. McKenna Milhan's mother reported her
- 31:07Speaker 1: daughter missing on December twenty second, two days after receiving
- 31:11Speaker 1: a text from McKenna that she had been raped been
- 31:15Speaker 1: on Monday, eight days later, her body was found outside
- 31:19Speaker 1: a home along Highway H north of Springfield. The investigation
- 31:24Speaker 1: led detectives to Lonnie Williams, who they say admitted to
- 31:28Speaker 1: being with Milhan in December, but claimed the two had
- 31:31Speaker 1: consensual sex before he dropped her off. You are hearing
- 31:34Speaker 1: our friends at KY three Springfield. That's Christine Morton. This
- 31:41Speaker 1: reminds me so much of the cheerleader in Alabama that
- 31:46Speaker 1: was burned alive, and then the claim by the perp
- 31:52Speaker 1: who killed another woman in New Orleans, another young woman
- 31:58Speaker 1: claimed consensual set Now, how does that always get into it?
- 32:02Speaker 1: Why is it always that the victim is somehow blamed
- 32:06Speaker 1: that they had sex that is not what happened. Because
- 32:10Speaker 1: this little girl calls her mom and says, mom, I've
- 32:13Speaker 1: been raped, says after she's been last seated at this
- 32:17Speaker 1: convenience store, the call is cut off abruptly. I don't
- 32:21Speaker 1: think they lost a signal. I think the call was
- 32:23Speaker 1: cut off. Now we hear this guy claiming they had
- 32:30Speaker 1: consensual sex. Really, we also know that this guy, Lonnie
- 32:35Speaker 1: William's girlfriend, Olivia Vega, is charged with the burning burning
- 32:41Speaker 1: clothing Lonnie William's clothes after the crime. Why would he
- 32:47Speaker 1: burn his clothes if he didn't do anything wrong? How
- 32:51Speaker 1: did this young girl, completely innocent, end up stabbed three
- 32:54Speaker 1: times in the neck after a visit to the seven
- 32:58Speaker 1: eleven Joy to me right now is a very special
- 33:02Speaker 1: guest who alerted me via Facebook to this crime, Rain
- 33:07Speaker 1: Marie Davis. She actually dated Lonnie Williams and has a
- 33:14Speaker 1: five month old son with the suspect Lonnie Williams. Right first,
- 33:23Speaker 1: tell me what led you to contact me on Facebook.
- 33:26Speaker 1: I've always, you know, wanted to speak out and be
- 33:29Speaker 1: a voice for young girls who are have been sexually
- 33:33Speaker 1: abused in things like that, you know, and knowing this
- 33:38Speaker 1: person that I thought I knew, you know, it just
- 33:41Speaker 1: gave me hopes that I could at least, you know,
- 33:45Speaker 1: speak out on that you don't really know a person fully,
- 33:50Speaker 1: whether you think you know that person or not, and
- 33:53Speaker 1: meeting people on the Internet and things of that nature.
- 33:56Speaker 1: It's just not so good because this is the outcome
- 34:01Speaker 1: of things like that. You know. Tell me what you
- 34:04Speaker 1: know about this case, Rain, I kind of have learned
- 34:08Speaker 1: a lot of details about Lonnie from this case. You know,
- 34:15Speaker 1: I talked to him after he was charged with the murder.
- 34:19Speaker 1: I didn't know that he was. You know, at first
- 34:22Speaker 1: he was in jail on a probation violation. I was like, okay,
- 34:25Speaker 1: you know whatever. So we were talking, and you know,
- 34:29Speaker 1: whenever they had linked him to this murder, he called
- 34:34Speaker 1: me on the phone that day and was like, I'm
- 34:36Speaker 1: being charged with murder. And I was like, what do
- 34:38Speaker 1: you mean. You know, wrong place, wrong time, type of
- 34:41Speaker 1: situation or what. And he was like, no, I was
- 34:45Speaker 1: drugged by somebody, you know, things like that and whit
- 34:50Speaker 1: whit white, white white. So he says he Lonnie Williams
- 34:55Speaker 1: was drugged. He's claiming he was drugged. But he told
- 34:58Speaker 1: me two different stories in the same sentence. One was
- 35:01Speaker 1: someone slipped something in his drink. In the next one
- 35:04Speaker 1: was someone shot drugs into his arm. But you wouldn't
- 35:08Speaker 1: remember that, you know what I'm saying. Actually, what he
- 35:11Speaker 1: first told police is that he picked her up and
- 35:15Speaker 1: that they drove around for a while, and that he
- 35:20Speaker 1: stopped to have sex with this young girl in an
- 35:22Speaker 1: alleyway before dropping her off at Atlantic in Maine at
- 35:27Speaker 1: one a m and that was his last contact with her.
- 35:33Speaker 1: That's what he first told police. And you know, to
- 35:38Speaker 1: Cloyd Steiger thirty six years Seattle PD, twenty two years,
- 35:41Speaker 1: homicide author Seattle's Forgotten serial killer, Gary Jane Grant at
- 35:46Speaker 1: Kloyd Steiger dot com, Cloyd, I have prosecuted. And you know,
- 35:51Speaker 1: Gerald Cohen, for all I know, you were a defense
- 35:53Speaker 1: lawyer on some of these where you get a witness
- 35:56Speaker 1: and they are in the car, let's just say, and
- 36:00Speaker 1: they're doing a robbery, and then their testimony goes and
- 36:04Speaker 1: then I looked out the window and bam. Why is
- 36:08Speaker 1: it that they always look the other way just at
- 36:11Speaker 1: the time of the homicide? And in this case, Lonnie
- 36:14Speaker 1: Williams thirty two years old out with a nineteen year
- 36:18Speaker 1: old girl says, uh, the night she's killed. Oh, I
- 36:22Speaker 1: pulled over and had consensual sex with her in an
- 36:25Speaker 1: alley in a car, and then I dropped her off.
- 36:29Speaker 1: What a coinkie dank. Then she's killed. Yeah, you know
- 36:34Speaker 1: these guys, Yeah, well, these guys they know that, he said.
- 36:38Speaker 1: They're thinking they're going to find my DNA on her
- 36:41Speaker 1: and I have to think of a reason why it's there.
- 36:43Speaker 1: And so he comes up with this ridiculous story. But
- 36:46Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, having someone tell a ridiculous story
- 36:50Speaker 1: that could be easily disproved, such as the statements he
- 36:53Speaker 1: made to miss ring Marie there that that is as
- 36:59Speaker 1: good as confession. When it's so ridiculous, you know, you
- 37:01Speaker 1: just say, here you go with that one. Now you're
- 37:03Speaker 1: you're locked into a story. You can't change it later.
- 37:06Speaker 1: This is what you gotta go with. And I'm sure
- 37:09Speaker 1: that people like mister Cohens hate it when their clients
- 37:13Speaker 1: wrap themselves up like that. Again, give themselves no ouse.
- 37:16Speaker 1: But that's what he was thinking. How am I going
- 37:18Speaker 1: to explain that being there when they find the body
- 37:20Speaker 1: if they find the body, and they certainly would because
- 37:22Speaker 1: he didn't do a rather job of covering up. It
- 37:24Speaker 1: sounds like, so this guy gives multiple statements, multiple statements.
- 37:30Speaker 1: But take a listen to our friends at KO l
- 37:33Speaker 1: R ten. This is Jesse Edman. Thirty two year old
- 37:37Speaker 1: Lonnie Williams is charged with first degree murder and armed
- 37:41Speaker 1: criminal action. He's accused of stabbing Milhan multiple times and
- 37:45Speaker 1: his girlfriend, twenty three year old Olivia Vega. She is
- 37:49Speaker 1: charged with evidence tampering after allegedly burning William's bloody clothes
- 37:54Speaker 1: and hiding the knife used to kill Milhan. Now we
- 37:57Speaker 1: know that on December twenty second, Milhan was ported missing
- 38:00Speaker 1: by her mother, and on Monday, December thirtieth, her body
- 38:04Speaker 1: was found north of Springfield after a tip was received
- 38:07Speaker 1: by police. Now, initially, Williams told deputies that he had
- 38:11Speaker 1: no involvement in her death after picking her up from
- 38:13Speaker 1: Come and Go on North Kansas Expressway in Norton Road,
- 38:17Speaker 1: but investigators interviewed Williams again and he confessed to killing McKenna. Now,
- 38:22Speaker 1: Williams is accused of stabbing mil Han to death after
- 38:25Speaker 1: picking her up at the gas station on December nineteenth,
- 38:28Speaker 1: and according to the probable cause statement, Williams confessed to
- 38:32Speaker 1: driving around with mil Han, then stabbing her in the
- 38:34Speaker 1: neck inside the vehicle, and then stabbing her three or
- 38:37Speaker 1: four more times outside of the vehicle. Wow, okay, there's
- 38:40Speaker 1: another version of what happened to doctor Michel du Pre
- 38:44Speaker 1: South Carolina Medical Exam and her author, Homicide Investigation Field
- 38:47Speaker 1: Guide Dargor Dpre. You know why he came up with
- 38:50Speaker 1: that consensual sex story in an alley. Part of that's
- 38:53Speaker 1: probably true. They probably were in an alley when he
- 38:55Speaker 1: killed her, because he knew he raped her, and he
- 38:58Speaker 1: knew that there's DNA evidence that there's gonna be sperm.
- 39:02Speaker 1: How long can sperm reveal DNA evidence inside a body?
- 39:08Speaker 1: I know, I think I know after about seventy six hours.
- 39:11Speaker 1: First the head of the sperm breaks off, then the
- 39:14Speaker 1: tail breaks off. Then you've got just the body part.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Let's just pretend the torso of the sperm and zoa
- 39:21Speaker 1: still there, but you can still get DNA from And
- 39:25Speaker 1: how long will sperm last inside a body, regardless of
- 39:29Speaker 1: the elements around the body? Nancy, You're absolutely right. It's
- 39:32Speaker 1: approximately seventy two hours, and that was a wonderful rendition
- 39:36Speaker 1: of what happened. But I think I want to hear
- 39:37Speaker 1: it from you. You're the MD. I'm just a JD.
- 39:40Speaker 1: You tell it. So it is about seventy two hours
- 39:42Speaker 1: that we can actually get viable DNA from sperm that
- 39:46Speaker 1: is found inside a body. How do you do it?
- 39:48Speaker 1: How do you get the DNA from sperm? And what's
- 39:53Speaker 1: the difference in semen and sperm. I've always wanted to
- 39:55Speaker 1: know that, but didn't know who to ask. Is a
- 39:58Speaker 1: lot of sperm together. UM sperm is the usually the
- 40:02Speaker 1: individual um sperm that actually Jackie wanted to know, and
- 40:08Speaker 1: so as she put me up to asking, Okay, now,
- 40:10Speaker 1: so how do you extract DNA from the um. We
- 40:13Speaker 1: do UM A DNA tests. We can do UM many
- 40:17Speaker 1: different ways. Typically we will do swabs um of the
- 40:20Speaker 1: vaginal area or whoever we think the sperm might be
- 40:22Speaker 1: UM and then we actually run that through UM for
- 40:25Speaker 1: DNA UM and see if we can get a match
- 40:27Speaker 1: to someone in coodus or not. So to rain Marie Davis,
- 40:32Speaker 1: who actually has a son with the alleged part. Lonnie Williams,
- 40:37Speaker 1: what can you tell me about this guy Lonnie Williams? Um? Well,
- 40:42Speaker 1: you know, from what I knew of him, he had
- 40:45Speaker 1: some behaviors that were, you know, kind of sketchy, you know,
- 40:49Speaker 1: make you wonder. I mean, he never was violent towards me.
- 40:53Speaker 1: We always, you know, we got along real good. Everything
- 40:56Speaker 1: was good between them. He didn't seem like that kind
- 41:00Speaker 1: of person to me anyways, you know what I mean.
- 41:04Speaker 1: And but no I don't, I don't tell me what
- 41:07Speaker 1: you mean by that, Like, he never showed no aggression
- 41:10Speaker 1: towards me. It was never, you know, he was real
- 41:14Speaker 1: hands on with I have two little girls too. He
- 41:16Speaker 1: was around my kids, you know, he was real good
- 41:19Speaker 1: with my kids. He seemed to be a decent person
- 41:25Speaker 1: from what I thought, I knew all. What was he doing?
- 41:27Speaker 1: I mean, even by his account having sex with a
- 41:30Speaker 1: nineteen year old girl in a car in an alleyway, Well,
- 41:33Speaker 1: you have the baby. How'd that happened? I mean, that's
- 41:36Speaker 1: a big red fly to me. But that's just me. Yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 1: I honestly have no idea about any of that. You know,
- 41:44Speaker 1: he hasn't really been there much for my child, and
- 41:48Speaker 1: I'm only finding out that he's got like three other
- 41:51Speaker 1: kids that were born a month apart from mine, like
- 41:55Speaker 1: a kid born in August, mind September, one in October.
- 42:01Speaker 1: All of these things that are coming out about him
- 42:03Speaker 1: aren't just pointing him to being a woman I easier
- 42:07Speaker 1: type of guy who uses women to his ability, you
- 42:11Speaker 1: know what. I know. That's got to hurt so badly
- 42:15Speaker 1: to go through having a child, which is hard enough. Oh,
- 42:19Speaker 1: now you're supporting the baby five months old, a little boy,
- 42:23Speaker 1: all by yourself, and you find out not only is
- 42:26Speaker 1: he charged with murder, but he's had all these other children.
- 42:30Speaker 1: These are the ones you know of. You know, I
- 42:32Speaker 1: got to go to a shrink. Doctor Bethany Marshall at
- 42:35Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. This is making my head hurt.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. Not only did rain Marie Davis,
- 42:44Speaker 1: who contacted us via Facebook about this case, get taken
- 42:48Speaker 1: in by this guy? She knows of three other women
- 42:51Speaker 1: did that did? But what about this other girl girlfriend?
- 42:55Speaker 1: And quotes Olivia Vega just twenty three charge with tampering
- 43:01Speaker 1: with evidence. I mean, probably was a normal person then
- 43:04Speaker 1: get sucked in by this guy. I'm looking at him.
- 43:07Speaker 1: He's not all that. He's not all that at all.
- 43:10Speaker 1: He ain't that in a bag of chips. I can
- 43:12Speaker 1: tell you that much. He's you know, okay looking. But
- 43:15Speaker 1: I mean, why how can't a man be a Svengali
- 43:20Speaker 1: or woman? But I always see cases with men and
- 43:23Speaker 1: get women to do all sorts of things they wouldn't
- 43:26Speaker 1: normally do. Nancy, I did the same thing you did.
- 43:28Speaker 1: I looked at his bug shot and I kept thinking,
- 43:31Speaker 1: who is this man? He's only thirty two years old.
- 43:34Speaker 1: These women are being taken in by him. He is
- 43:37Speaker 1: not all that, He's just oh you know who he
- 43:40Speaker 1: looks like he looks a little bit like Jesse Smolette. Yes,
- 43:43Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit, except I think probably
- 43:46Speaker 1: a little bit more handsome, because Smilette is handsome to
- 43:49Speaker 1: some people. Now that I know he's pulled a big scam,
- 43:52Speaker 1: I don't find him handsome at all, but I understand
- 43:55Speaker 1: what other people seen him. I felt the same way
- 43:57Speaker 1: about Scott Peterson. Everybody said, oh he's so handsome. I
- 44:00Speaker 1: never thought he'd looked good ever anyway, But back back
- 44:04Speaker 1: to this guy. Let me get off Scott Peterson and
- 44:06Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett and who have nothing to do with this. Hey,
- 44:09Speaker 1: for those of you listening, this is what happens at
- 44:12Speaker 1: the lunch table when you're in the DA's office. We
- 44:16Speaker 1: talk about all the weird, sometimes up two, sometimes unconnect
- 44:20Speaker 1: disconnected facts about a case. What the point is doctor Bethany.
- 44:25Speaker 1: I mean, he's okay, but he's not all that. How
- 44:27Speaker 1: is he getting all these women under his spell? Then
- 44:29Speaker 1: he's got one nineteen year old girl dead after he
- 44:33Speaker 1: raped her, And now this perfectly attractive young girl, Olivia Vega,
- 44:37Speaker 1: is implicated in murder Nancy. You know Robert Hare, he's
- 44:42Speaker 1: a leading researcher in sociopathy. He has a twenty point checklist,
- 44:46Speaker 1: the Hair twenty point Psychopathy Checklist. You can google it
- 44:50Speaker 1: us on the internet. It's used in forensic settings. It's
- 44:53Speaker 1: twenty characteristics of a sociopath. If anyone else there is
- 44:57Speaker 1: curious about, I'm doing it right now. I want to
- 45:00Speaker 1: make sure my husband David is twenty characteristics of a sociopath.
- 45:05Speaker 1: Hold on, okay, keep going okay. So one of the
- 45:08Speaker 1: characteristics is promiscuity. They often have multiple relationships. Why do
- 45:14Speaker 1: they have a picture of Daryl Cohen here? Okay, go ahead,
- 45:18Speaker 1: twenty characterists, Jess kidding, go ahead, lying, twenty characterists. Manipulative
- 45:24Speaker 1: psychopathy is what he how he has it? Twenty point
- 45:28Speaker 1: checklist psychopathy. So the lying looking at it right now,
- 45:33Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. The Hair Psychopathy checklist. Twenty most common
- 45:38Speaker 1: traits of a psychopath. You need to make sure. Okay,
- 45:41Speaker 1: so what about this guy do you think fits in
- 45:44Speaker 1: with these traits? And just a point for the listeners,
- 45:47Speaker 1: make sure you go to his original list because there's
- 45:50Speaker 1: many people who have made over the list and written
- 45:52Speaker 1: articles about it. Go to his list. It is based
- 45:56Speaker 1: on robust research, but it describes this purpose to a tea.
- 46:01Speaker 1: First of all, they always they never follow the conditions
- 46:05Speaker 1: of parole. So remember he was brought in on a
- 46:07Speaker 1: probation violation drug and alcohol abuse. To remember, he says
- 46:12Speaker 1: he was drugged, and there are all the stories about drugs,
- 46:15Speaker 1: Lyon conning, manipulativeness of promises. Why in order to get
- 46:20Speaker 1: your own way, never say you're sorry. Charming and persuasive,
- 46:25Speaker 1: that's one that may touch on why women fall for him.
- 46:28Speaker 1: And the two characteristics that always stand out to me
- 46:31Speaker 1: one is or three poor behavioral controls. So that's why
- 46:35Speaker 1: they could rape and kill that they have a thin
- 46:39Speaker 1: veneer of affability, but when somebody disagrees with them, that
- 46:45Speaker 1: veneer snaps and it covers up a cold, calculated interior.
- 46:50Speaker 1: That's how we got all these women. He's probably charming
- 46:53Speaker 1: and social and promises them everything, but the minute they disagreed,
- 46:57Speaker 1: he snaps. And I think that one of the other ones,
- 47:00Speaker 1: Nancy is parasitic lifestyle. They're parasites. They leech off other people.
- 47:05Speaker 1: He has all these babies, but as Rain says, he
- 47:08Speaker 1: doesn't even come to the city's own son. I doubt
- 47:11Speaker 1: he's paying child support. I doubt he's paying child support
- 47:14Speaker 1: for all these other children he's fathered. So that's the
- 47:17Speaker 1: parasitic lifestyle. So and also Hair talked about the mask
- 47:21Speaker 1: of sanity, that these guys know that they're different from
- 47:24Speaker 1: other people in society, so they put on what he
- 47:27Speaker 1: calls the mask of sanity, meaning they pretend to be
- 47:30Speaker 1: normal even though they're not. And that's why Rain got
- 47:33Speaker 1: taken in. He acts normal even though he's not normal.
- 47:36Speaker 1: To Jason, weren't Ozark's independent dot com? Jason, where does
- 47:42Speaker 1: the case stand now? And what about this so called girlfriend,
- 47:48Speaker 1: Olivia Vega well Ray now and everything? Spending trials are
- 47:52Speaker 1: going to be going to court in March. They're still
- 47:54Speaker 1: trying to determine whether they're going to go for the
- 47:56Speaker 1: death penalty in this case or not. And you know,
- 47:59Speaker 1: nance the interesting thing about this is you'll talk about
- 48:03Speaker 1: the fact that he's spitting all these tales. The thing
- 48:06Speaker 1: that jumps out most of all in his statements to
- 48:08Speaker 1: police is he claims he was going north on State
- 48:11Speaker 1: Highway H and that he pulled off the road to
- 48:14Speaker 1: relieve himself. Nancy, they were less than a mile away
- 48:17Speaker 1: from a come and go, So if that was a concern,
- 48:19Speaker 1: he would have stopped at the come and go that
- 48:21Speaker 1: he would not have pulled off the road where he did,
- 48:23Speaker 1: and where he pulled off was a very public location.
- 48:26Speaker 1: So it's a situation where he's very clearly lying in
- 48:30Speaker 1: his statement, and so I would not be surprised if
- 48:33Speaker 1: they go for the death penalty. Well, I mean, with
- 48:36Speaker 1: the criminal history and stabbing a young girl three times
- 48:39Speaker 1: in the neck after raping her, you know what, if
- 48:43Speaker 1: we're gonna have the death penalty, and I'm not getting
- 48:45Speaker 1: into a death penalty argument, but if we are going
- 48:49Speaker 1: to have it, this guy, Lonnie Leon Williams is the
- 48:53Speaker 1: perfect candidate and number one, I'd get Olivia Vega to
- 48:57Speaker 1: turn state sevenants and make that case to Rain Marie Davis.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Thank you Rain for speaking out. We wait as justice unfolds.
