3:26

Speaker 1: Board certified forensic pathologist at anchor Forensic Pathology Assistant Medical Examiner.
3:51
Speaker 1: Vanessa Murphy joining US investigative reporter KLASTV eight Newsnow dot com. Vanessa,
3:59
Speaker 1: whose voice is are we hearing? So we're hearing the
4:02
Speaker 1: voices of eighteen year old Aaron Guerrero. He is the
4:06
Speaker 1: boyfriend of sixteen year old Sierra Helseth. That video was taken,
4:13
Speaker 1: police say while they were on the run. So police
4:17
Speaker 1: say they murdered Daniel Halseeth at his home in Las Vegas.
4:22
Speaker 1: They took his car and then they were on the run.
4:25
Speaker 1: Police say they found that video, I believe on one
4:29
Speaker 1: of their cell phones. So let me go to you. Karen.
4:33
Speaker 1: Start to take the video laughing and giggling about having
4:38
Speaker 1: sex for three straight days after quote the murder, It says,
4:43
Speaker 1: welcome to our YouTube channel, day three after murdering someone
4:47
Speaker 1: and a lot of intense giggling and talking about sex.
4:50
Speaker 1: This is it's so surprising. I know to most people, Nancy,
4:54
Speaker 1: but there actually our teams who kill without any remorse
4:58
Speaker 1: and our anti social personalities. They absolutely are enjoying the
5:06
Speaker 1: fact that they did this thing, went out of their
5:08
Speaker 1: way to let grandparents know that father was still okay,
5:13
Speaker 1: that the phone his phone wasn't looking and they have
5:17
Speaker 1: no remorse. There clearly cyclopaths, but it's something that people
5:22
Speaker 1: have a lot of trouble accepting because you don't imagine
5:25
Speaker 1: that and a teenager, I really have a hard time
5:27
Speaker 1: relating to it, not only murdering your father in such
5:30
Speaker 1: a brutal way, but then creating a video quite welcome
5:36
Speaker 1: back to our YouTube channel, day three after murdering somebody,
5:41
Speaker 1: then dissolving and to laughter about having NonStop sex for
5:46
Speaker 1: three days after murdering their dad. First of all, guys,
5:51
Speaker 1: let's just start at the beginning. How the whole thing start.
5:55
Speaker 1: It didn't start with this video. Take a listen to
5:58
Speaker 1: our friends at crime online dot com. Sixteen year old
6:00
Speaker 1: Sierra Halseth dated Aaron Guerrero from June to December of
6:04
Speaker 1: last year, and their future plans caused parental concerns. While
6:08
Speaker 1: the teens were dating, Daniel Haltseth contact to Guerrero's parents.
6:12
Speaker 1: He told them the teens were planning on running away together,
6:15
Speaker 1: and the parents agreed the teens should no longer have
6:17
Speaker 1: contact with each other. While police are at the home,
6:20
Speaker 1: Guerrero's parents appeared saying they were looking for their son
6:24
Speaker 1: who ran away from home. They suspect he is with
6:27
Speaker 1: sixteen year old Sierra Halseth. They sound like two millions
6:30
Speaker 1: from hell now. The way that this video was found,
6:35
Speaker 1: it says welcome to our YouTube channel, but it's actually
6:39
Speaker 1: on one of their cell phones. I mean, you know,
6:43
Speaker 1: Robert Crispin, former fed with the DA then cop in
6:48
Speaker 1: the Lauder Jail, Miami area, now Crispin Investigations dot Com. Robert,
6:55
Speaker 1: if it weren't for idiot criminals would never get a
6:59
Speaker 1: sing conviction. I mean, yes, there's a lot of a
7:03
Speaker 1: lot of sleuthing, a lot of police work going into this,
7:06
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work. But come on, that slow
7:09
Speaker 1: hanging fruit. They leave it on their phone. Man, I'll
7:12
Speaker 1: tell you from experience and doing a lot of these cases,
7:14
Speaker 1: criminals like to have some type of a of a
7:18
Speaker 1: trinket of their crimes, either on their phone in their house,
7:23
Speaker 1: a memento, memento, something to brag about to them. I
7:28
Speaker 1: scrap book, little known Fat Robert Crispin. I scrap book
7:32
Speaker 1: with pictures and ticket stubs and brochures of places we've
7:36
Speaker 1: gone because I like to look back on it. And
7:39
Speaker 1: a very bizarre twist, I think that's what you're talking about.
7:44
Speaker 1: They like to look back on what they did, explain
7:47
Speaker 1: kind of you know, kind of like a child creditor.
7:50
Speaker 1: There's always going to be those pictures on his phone
7:52
Speaker 1: when you get his phone. In this particular case, you
7:55
Speaker 1: know these guys videotape their confession. Why because they go
8:00
Speaker 1: after they look at it and they laugh about it,
8:02
Speaker 1: and you can see to have no remorse, not knowing
8:04
Speaker 1: that we're going to get that when we get your phone.
8:07
Speaker 1: It's coming. And what great evidence, what a great confession
8:11
Speaker 1: to take these guys down. So how do they get
8:14
Speaker 1: the surveillance footage? Guys, I'm talking about not just the
8:20
Speaker 1: footage that we have on the cell phone that you've
8:23
Speaker 1: just heard twice where these two sixteen year old daughter
8:27
Speaker 1: and her teen lover are joking about having sex three
8:31
Speaker 1: days NonStop since the dad was murdered. But listen to
8:36
Speaker 1: this other surveillance footage. Take less. Our friends at crime
8:40
Speaker 1: Online investigators track the teens through surveillance footage. The initial
8:44
Speaker 1: footage showed the pair leaving the neighborhood and Daniel hall
8:47
Speaker 1: Set's blue Niecean Ultima. Surveillance footage at Winco shows hall
8:52
Speaker 1: Set buying two gallons of bleach and a gallon of
8:54
Speaker 1: orange juice. Footage from home depots showed Guerrero buying the
8:58
Speaker 1: saws and gloves straight out to ask you, Wilcott Judge
9:01
Speaker 1: trial while your anchor Court TV. You know, I have
9:05
Speaker 1: my dad's car. It's an old I don't know how
9:08
Speaker 1: old it is, old silver Cadillac. I got it parked
9:13
Speaker 1: and we use it sometimes and when I get in it,
9:19
Speaker 1: that was one of his pride and joys. Okay, all
9:22
Speaker 1: I think about is him. These two murder dad then
9:28
Speaker 1: drive off in his car. What's that, Well, you're thinking
9:33
Speaker 1: as a rational person, Nancy, neither of these two irrational
9:36
Speaker 1: normal people. And so what I mean by that is
9:39
Speaker 1: it's there's no respect for the car. I mean, they
9:42
Speaker 1: had no respect for the father that they killed. And
9:46
Speaker 1: what stands out to me in this case is a
9:50
Speaker 1: lack of respect for every rule, every law, every piece
9:55
Speaker 1: of good sense. And they actually murdered the father. But
9:59
Speaker 1: yet at this point in the investigation, we certainly haven't
10:03
Speaker 1: heard that either of them are victims of heinous abuse
10:07
Speaker 1: and they've been traumatized, and we haven't heard any of that.
10:10
Speaker 1: They seem to be two average kids that have been
10:13
Speaker 1: conducted this horrible, horrible crimes. Free of a murder crime
10:30
Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we were talking about the
10:36
Speaker 1: brutal murder of a loving dad, Daniel hall Seth. And
10:40
Speaker 1: in the last days we get to see a video
10:45
Speaker 1: his two murderers have on their phone. Welcome to our
10:51
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, day three after murdering someone. Giggle, giggle, giggle.
10:56
Speaker 1: Then you know what, let's just play that the second
10:59
Speaker 1: full version, Jackie. Let's just kick it off for that
11:02
Speaker 1: one more time. Take a listen I don't know what
11:06
Speaker 1: openlock to our YouTube turn off after day three after
11:12
Speaker 1: somebody whoa put it on camera, it was worth it, um,
11:20
Speaker 1: and we had sex a lot today playing I was
11:25
Speaker 1: paying in for doing it and no no bleeding this time.
11:30
Speaker 1: We got We got through that. We overcame. Hyeah. Yeah.
11:50
Speaker 1: You know Vanessa Murphy in Bestie at a reporter k
11:52
Speaker 1: l A STV eight news now dot com. You can
11:55
Speaker 1: find her on Insta at Vanessa Reporting, on Twitter at
11:59
Speaker 1: Vanessa Underscore Murphy. She's everywhere on Facebook, Vanessa Murphy investigates
12:05
Speaker 1: Vanessa When I'm listening to them cackle and it sounds
12:11
Speaker 1: like minions from Hell. Yeah, it's it's um, Nancy, it's disturbing.
12:16
Speaker 1: When we first received this video, we played it at
12:20
Speaker 1: the station, put it online, UM, and we were all
12:24
Speaker 1: pretty shocked. There really are no words. I also have
12:30
Speaker 1: been talking with Daniel health Set's family. You know, they
12:36
Speaker 1: sent me a statement and in their statement, UM, one
12:40
Speaker 1: of the things they say that the total lack of
12:42
Speaker 1: remorse on display in the video is both reprehensible and unforgivable.
12:50
Speaker 1: And you know they want this prosecuted to the fullest extent.
12:55
Speaker 1: So you know, you you may conclude that they are
12:59
Speaker 1: not reporting Sierra. I guess not. Guys, we learn a
13:05
Speaker 1: lot about the background of how Daniel Halseth was brutally
13:11
Speaker 1: murdered by his own teen girl, Sierra Halseth at her
13:15
Speaker 1: teen lover Aeron Guerrero. Take a listen to our friends
13:19
Speaker 1: Stephen Fabian at Inside Edition, the victim. According to prosecutors,
13:24
Speaker 1: the girl's own father, Daniel Halseth, put in twenty five pushups.
13:30
Speaker 1: The dad was a fitness and travel buff who loved
13:32
Speaker 1: the post videos online, including these moments as a doting
13:36
Speaker 1: dad Sierra, but he reportedly didn't approve of his sixteen
13:40
Speaker 1: year old daughter Sierra dating eighteen year old Aaron Guerrero,
13:44
Speaker 1: and he wasn't alone. His ex wife, Elizabeth, a former
13:48
Speaker 1: Nevada Republican state senator, also had a problem with her
13:52
Speaker 1: daughter's relationship. After they banned Sierra from seeing Aaron, Sierra's
13:57
Speaker 1: father disappeared Hessing for two days. His works called his
14:02
Speaker 1: family's called, I've called his ex life's called, and there's
14:06
Speaker 1: nobody answering the phone. And I know there's something very
14:08
Speaker 1: wrong going on here. There was, indeed, as friends found
14:12
Speaker 1: out when they checked in on whole Seth's home in
14:15
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, that he had been renovating the dead body
14:18
Speaker 1: of the girls he just haul. Seth had been stabbed
14:21
Speaker 1: to death and his body set on fire. Stabbed dead
14:26
Speaker 1: body set on fire. You know, if I could just
14:28
Speaker 1: have five minutes with my father, who is now in heaven,
14:34
Speaker 1: I would give everything, I have, every possession, everything, just
14:40
Speaker 1: to see him again and know that he's okay. And
14:45
Speaker 1: they not only stabbed the father dead, but set his
14:48
Speaker 1: body on fire. I mean. Doctor Pria Banerjee joining me
14:52
Speaker 1: board certified forensic pathologists. You can find her at anchor
14:55
Speaker 1: a forensic pathology dot com. She's an assistant medical examiner,
15:00
Speaker 1: Doctor Priya. I know I've asked you this in the past,
15:02
Speaker 1: but could you refresh my recollection regarding how difficult it
15:06
Speaker 1: is to burn a body to the point where there
15:10
Speaker 1: is no evidence left behind. Oh, It's incredibly difficult. You know,
15:15
Speaker 1: you really need to burn it for hours in a
15:18
Speaker 1: well controlled setting. So I think criminals make a mistake
15:23
Speaker 1: that by setting the house on fire in this case,
15:27
Speaker 1: that they're going to get rid of evidence. The surface
15:29
Speaker 1: will be burned, but we can still get so much
15:33
Speaker 1: information from the body well that leads me to my
15:35
Speaker 1: next question, Doctor Prea Banerjee. We have been told, according
15:40
Speaker 1: to the autopsy, that the dad in this case, Daniel Hallseth,
15:45
Speaker 1: was stabbed multiple times then his body burned. If the
15:48
Speaker 1: body has been burned, how do you determine he had
15:51
Speaker 1: been stabbed multiple times. Yes, that's a great question, so
15:53
Speaker 1: that the outside is going to be burned. But it's
15:56
Speaker 1: always amazing to me how preserved, relatively preserved the inside is.
16:02
Speaker 1: You can still tell where the bleeding was. You can
16:05
Speaker 1: see the stab wounds, you can really see. You can't
16:08
Speaker 1: see the surface because of the burn but inside, once
16:10
Speaker 1: you open the body, it's all there, you know. I
16:12
Speaker 1: learned that in a pretty gruesome way. Let's see, who
16:16
Speaker 1: can relate to this other than doctor Prea. Robert Crispin.
16:18
Speaker 1: You could in one particular murder I had, I had
16:22
Speaker 1: to fall. I had to fight tooth and nail to
16:25
Speaker 1: get autopsy photos into evidence. Typically those are ruled out
16:29
Speaker 1: of evidence because they're so inflammatory. They have to prove
16:34
Speaker 1: something that a photo of the person's natural body pre
16:38
Speaker 1: autopsy does not prove, And in this case, there were
16:45
Speaker 1: multiple hematoma bruises under the surface of the skin to
16:51
Speaker 1: the head of this female victim, and you could only
16:55
Speaker 1: see it once the autopsy had started and the skin
17:00
Speaker 1: was pulled back from the head and face and then
17:04
Speaker 1: under his doctor Priyat is telling us, you could actually
17:07
Speaker 1: see it's very clear how these horrible, horrible bruises showed
17:15
Speaker 1: cause of death. And for some reason, either because of
17:20
Speaker 1: she had really thick, long, dark hair, you couldn't really
17:27
Speaker 1: see it. And that is why just one autopsy photo
17:32
Speaker 1: was allowed in to show the jury the extent of
17:35
Speaker 1: the damages. Robert Crispin, you've had to have a head
17:39
Speaker 1: injury case. Oh sure, sure. And another thing, you know,
17:42
Speaker 1: Nancy to spin off on that is also you know,
17:45
Speaker 1: the knife hitting into a bone or the skull, you're
17:48
Speaker 1: going to see those marks. And in time, if you've
17:50
Speaker 1: got burned skin on top, you're not going to see that.
17:52
Speaker 1: But you peel that skin back in an autopsy, you
17:56
Speaker 1: know you're going to see the damage to the skull.
17:58
Speaker 1: You're going to see the damage to the bones, You're
18:00
Speaker 1: going to see the damage to the hands, the defense
18:03
Speaker 1: wounds where the person was putting his hands up or
18:06
Speaker 1: putting his arms up and getting stabbed in his forearm
18:09
Speaker 1: trying to deflect the knife. Those are all important things
18:12
Speaker 1: you're not going to get from a regular view of
18:16
Speaker 1: a body if it's burned, you know. To Ashley Wilcote, judge,
18:19
Speaker 1: trial lawyer, anchor court TV Ashley, what's also very bizarre
18:25
Speaker 1: about this is that prior to the dad, Daniel Halsfit's death,
18:29
Speaker 1: his murder, his daughter just seemed normal. And when the
18:34
Speaker 1: parents told her, hey, you can't see this guy anymore,
18:37
Speaker 1: for a while she was angry, but there was no
18:40
Speaker 1: indication she would do anything like this. That's scary. I
18:43
Speaker 1: know it is scary, and no, I'm not a psychiatrist
18:46
Speaker 1: or a psychologist. I rely on experts. But here's the
18:49
Speaker 1: question I have to have. Is it the perfect storm
18:52
Speaker 1: where she meets up with this eighteen year old who
18:56
Speaker 1: has those propensities and cheap folds right in line with it.
18:59
Speaker 1: I don't know, But keep this in mind, Nancy, her
19:01
Speaker 1: mother was actually a former state senator in that state,
19:06
Speaker 1: and so not only did she have what you would
19:09
Speaker 1: call an average childhood, she came from parents who were
19:13
Speaker 1: successful and engaged in raising her. And so it's so
19:20
Speaker 1: hard to comprehend because it really does not make sense,
19:24
Speaker 1: and it sounds like given the jobs and the political
19:28
Speaker 1: prestige the parents had. She was most likely born with
19:33
Speaker 1: a silver spoon in her mouth. Given opportunities and advantages
19:38
Speaker 1: that most of us never have growing up, what do
19:41
Speaker 1: we know? Take a listen to David Charn's eight News
19:44
Speaker 1: Now Vegas. Daniel Halseeth is the father of one of
19:48
Speaker 1: these teenagers, and police say his sixteen year old daughter
19:52
Speaker 1: and her eighteen year old boyfriend or accused of killing
19:54
Speaker 1: him and then trying to cover it up. Aaron Guerrero
19:57
Speaker 1: is one of those teenagers. Police arrested him Tuesday in
20:00
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City and that's where he's in jail tonight. Now.
20:03
Speaker 1: We are not naming the sixteen year old due to
20:05
Speaker 1: her age. Grero was arrest report says police found the
20:08
Speaker 1: body of Daniel Hulseth almost quote fully burned. Guarrera's parents
20:13
Speaker 1: told police their son and his girlfriend had planned to
20:16
Speaker 1: run away to Los Angeles together last year, but when
20:20
Speaker 1: they learned this, they and Halseth said the teens could
20:23
Speaker 1: no longer see each other now. The day before the murder,
20:26
Speaker 1: more than a thousand dollars was taken out of Halss
20:29
Speaker 1: Bank account. Prime Stories with Nancy Grace guys, we are
20:47
Speaker 1: talking about the brutal murder of a young dad at
20:50
Speaker 1: the hands of his own teen daughter and her teen lover. Well,
20:56
Speaker 1: we find not only Daniel Halspeth's dead body and his home,
21:01
Speaker 1: there's a lot more to be found there. Take a
21:03
Speaker 1: listen to our cut seven. This is our friend Vanessa
21:06
Speaker 1: Murphy at eight News now. Las Vegas Metro Police they
21:10
Speaker 1: found the body of forty five year old Daniel Helseth
21:13
Speaker 1: in this West Valley home Friday. His sixteen year old
21:16
Speaker 1: daughter and her eighteen year old boyfriend, Aaron Guerrero are
21:19
Speaker 1: accused of killing him and trying to cover up the crime.
21:23
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Ray Spencer is releasing more details for the first time.
21:27
Speaker 1: There had been items purchase such as lighter fluid that
21:30
Speaker 1: was used to light the fire. There was also the
21:34
Speaker 1: purchase of a chainsaw in a circular saw and a
21:37
Speaker 1: handsaw where attempts to dismember his body were made. Prior
21:42
Speaker 1: to the fire. The teens were missing since Friday. You know,
21:46
Speaker 1: we're finding so much more in the home where the
21:49
Speaker 1: body was found. Straight back out to Vanessa Murphy joining
21:53
Speaker 1: us from KLASTV. What was found in the home, Nancy,
21:57
Speaker 1: There was a body area in the home. Police found
22:03
Speaker 1: a saw, other tools, scissors, And keep in mind the
22:11
Speaker 1: teams are accused of buying things to possibly help cover
22:16
Speaker 1: this up. But Daniel house Seth's mother, who would be
22:20
Speaker 1: Sierra's grandmother, was wondering where he was. She was texting
22:24
Speaker 1: where is he? Sierra. Then eventually she says, look, the
22:28
Speaker 1: police are coming. Why are you doing this? And Sierra
22:32
Speaker 1: and Aaron were then on the run. So the question
22:36
Speaker 1: is did they know people were coming and they had
22:39
Speaker 1: to leave quickly? I have the crime scene photos. Clearly
22:44
Speaker 1: this was not cleaned up a circular saw. I mean,
22:49
Speaker 1: Karen start we need a shrink now pronto. Karen started
22:54
Speaker 1: joining us from Manhattan. Karen, start taking a circular saw
22:59
Speaker 1: to your father? So clearly, I mean they could have
23:02
Speaker 1: taken anything to this father. They killed him. They killed him,
23:06
Speaker 1: and they were able to do it. They were capable
23:08
Speaker 1: of it, Nancy. And so you're not talking about your
23:11
Speaker 1: average team who has a conscience. There's no remorse here.
23:16
Speaker 1: They have no they're laughing and having a good time.
23:19
Speaker 1: And in cases like this where you're talking about a
23:23
Speaker 1: teenager who's a psychopath antisocial, they are often they'll kill
23:29
Speaker 1: their parents because of something that we would think would
23:32
Speaker 1: be ridiculous, like they can't see each other, or they're
23:36
Speaker 1: not allowed to be with a certain person, or their
23:40
Speaker 1: parents are too strict with them. And it doesn't take
23:44
Speaker 1: a lot for them to commit that kind of crime.
23:47
Speaker 1: It says though they had no idea of consequence. You know,
23:51
Speaker 1: I'm curious to Vanessa Murphy, investigative reporter with KLA STV,
23:56
Speaker 1: the two were planning to run away and live together
23:59
Speaker 1: in in La and that is why the parents forbade
24:03
Speaker 1: them to see each other. But why were they going
24:05
Speaker 1: to run away? What the parents didn't want them having
24:07
Speaker 1: sex on the sofa? We don't know quite yet, but
24:11
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, we know their parents didn't want them
24:14
Speaker 1: to see each other. You know, Daniel house At this
24:17
Speaker 1: is his sixteen year old daughter. I'm sure he doesn't
24:20
Speaker 1: want her to run away anywhere. So eventually, you know,
24:27
Speaker 1: he told them they couldn't see each other. The parents agreed,
24:29
Speaker 1: as you mentioned. And then now here we are to
24:34
Speaker 1: doctor Pria Banerjee. A circular saw would that be adequate
24:39
Speaker 1: to actually saw through Daniel Housebees bones? I think that
24:45
Speaker 1: would be adequate. It's going to take a lot of fourth.
24:48
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's hard work. Bones are hard. They're
24:51
Speaker 1: not meant to be broken that easily or dismembered, so
24:55
Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot of strength and hard
24:57
Speaker 1: work to get through them. I don't think these two
24:59
Speaker 1: teenagers realized the effort involved in dismembering a body. Take
25:03
Speaker 1: a listen to our cut six David Charns News Now.
25:08
Speaker 1: Vegas police found two folding pocket knives in the home's
25:11
Speaker 1: kitchen that had been cleaned. The cause of death, multiple
25:15
Speaker 1: stab wounds, and we also police also saying that there
25:18
Speaker 1: was a handsow found in that home with blood on it.
25:22
Speaker 1: Detectives say the teenagers purchased bleach, a saw, gloves, and
25:26
Speaker 1: other items at two stores the day that they believe
25:29
Speaker 1: the murder happened. And they also say that those teenagers
25:32
Speaker 1: tried to dismember that body. So to you, Robert Crispin,
25:36
Speaker 1: the fact that blood is found on one of the
25:39
Speaker 1: sauce means they did start the dismemberment process, but it
25:43
Speaker 1: was too much for him, way too much. And boy,
25:46
Speaker 1: they just left a trail of evidence that just is
25:49
Speaker 1: going to totally bury both of these people. Between the
25:52
Speaker 1: receipts and the videos and the effort that these two
25:55
Speaker 1: took to try to conceal this probably watching crime stories
25:59
Speaker 1: show how it's to lean up a crime scene. It's
26:03
Speaker 1: just failed miserably. And isn't it true Doctor Pria b
26:06
Speaker 1: Energy as system medical Examiner and you can find her
26:09
Speaker 1: anchor Forensic Pathology dot com, Doctor Prea. Isn't it true
26:13
Speaker 1: that very often wounds on a human body can be
26:16
Speaker 1: matched up to the weapon. For instance, if you hit
26:21
Speaker 1: somebody with a golf club as opposed to a baseball bat,
26:26
Speaker 1: as opposed to a clothing iron, you can see that
26:32
Speaker 1: particular imprint on the person's head or body. You can tell.
26:37
Speaker 1: And in this case, you've got blood on a saw
26:41
Speaker 1: and his body wound will be able to be matched
26:45
Speaker 1: up to that saw. Yes, I mean, especially in dismemberment cases,
26:49
Speaker 1: it's so critical. If you have a candidate weapon, you
26:53
Speaker 1: can look at the ends of the bone then match
26:55
Speaker 1: it up. It's called tool mark, you know. So that
26:58
Speaker 1: is critical, not only having blood on it, but now
27:01
Speaker 1: you can have a more graphic way of putting it together.
27:06
Speaker 1: You know, it's like putting puzzles together. They leave marks
27:08
Speaker 1: on the bone. The bone is hard, so it's gonna
27:12
Speaker 1: be carved out when it's thought, yes, there are puzzle
27:15
Speaker 1: pieces that must be put together in front of a jury,
27:20
Speaker 1: but after there's a video, I don't know if we
27:23
Speaker 1: even need to put the puzzle pieces together anymore, because
27:26
Speaker 1: these two teams demons from hell, have laid it all
27:31
Speaker 1: out there. Take a listen to our friend Vanessa Murphy
27:33
Speaker 1: eight News Now Vegas. They found a video clip where
27:38
Speaker 1: the two defendants are laying together and announced that it's
27:43
Speaker 1: this is their YouTube channel and it's been three days
27:45
Speaker 1: since the murder, and they kind of laugh about the
27:48
Speaker 1: fact that Aaron Guerrero committed the murder in exchange for
27:57
Speaker 1: I mean Joe Kingley having sex with cr Halseth. Sarah
28:01
Speaker 1: Halseth is also the daughter of Elizabeth Halseth. She previously
28:06
Speaker 1: served as a Nevada legislator. The teams are charged with murder,
28:10
Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit murder, arson, credit card fraud, robbery, and
28:14
Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit robbery. Most of these charges are new
28:18
Speaker 1: through the indictment. They remain in custody now with no
28:22
Speaker 1: fail Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, let's take a
28:43
Speaker 1: listen again to the video these two take on their phone.
28:48
Speaker 1: It is then found by detectives. It tells it all.
28:53
Speaker 1: Listen open Youth Panel of the Day three chapter. May
29:02
Speaker 1: somebody whoa but it on camera? I was worth it
29:10
Speaker 1: um and we had sex a lot today playing I
29:15
Speaker 1: was payment for doing it and no no bleeding. This
29:19
Speaker 1: time we got We got through that. We overcame Hyeah.
29:39
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at eight News Now Vegas.
29:42
Speaker 1: This is the first time we're hearing about a video.
29:45
Speaker 1: A prosecutor says a video was found on the sixteen
29:48
Speaker 1: year old girl's cell phone in which the team's joke
29:52
Speaker 1: about killing her father. A grand jury indicted Sierra hell
29:56
Speaker 1: Seth and her eighteen year old boyfriend, Aaron Guerrero. Their
29:59
Speaker 1: accused of killing forty five year old Daniel Halseth, trying
30:03
Speaker 1: to dismember him, and then setting his body on fire.
30:06
Speaker 1: Metro police. They fled on April ninth, and they were
30:09
Speaker 1: arrested in Utah and April thirteenth. According to detectives, their
30:13
Speaker 1: parents had previously told them they could no longer see
30:17
Speaker 1: each other, and they planned to run away together to California.
30:20
Speaker 1: But it's not just the video, which I believe a
30:23
Speaker 1: case could be made on the video alone. There's so
30:26
Speaker 1: much more than that. Take a listen our cut. Fifteen
30:29
Speaker 1: prosecutors presented to the grand jury these photos from before
30:33
Speaker 1: Halset's body was found. Sierra purchasing bleach at Winco, aaron
30:38
Speaker 1: at home depot, buying a saw, lighter, fluid, gloves, and more.
30:42
Speaker 1: There's a bloody scene inside the home with knives, saws,
30:46
Speaker 1: the lighter, fluid, and burnt material. Police say the teens
30:50
Speaker 1: used Daniel Halsez bank cards to make purchases and withdrawals,
30:53
Speaker 1: and put a blood soaked rug inside the trunk of
30:56
Speaker 1: his vehicle, which they used as a getaway car. According
31:00
Speaker 1: to detectives, while they were on the run, they recorded
31:03
Speaker 1: this cell phone video. They also talk about sex and
31:06
Speaker 1: include a graphic detail which the IT team has chosen
31:10
Speaker 1: not to air. I guess that's the part about the blood, Vanessa,
31:15
Speaker 1: Is that the graphic part? Uh? Yeah, I mean we
31:20
Speaker 1: made the dision. Okay, wait a minute, so let me
31:21
Speaker 1: understand this. The reporters think her having her period during
31:25
Speaker 1: sex is graphic. By the dismemberment of the body or
31:28
Speaker 1: the attempted dismemberment of the body, it's not graphic. We
31:30
Speaker 1: made the decision because it's a sixteen year old girl
31:34
Speaker 1: talking about sex and bleeding, and we sort of struggled
31:39
Speaker 1: with this decision, and we thought hearing them talk about,
31:44
Speaker 1: you know, murdering someone, you get the picture, and that
31:48
Speaker 1: was enough considering her age. It's a decision we made. Okay,
31:51
Speaker 1: I'm not attacking your decision, but let me just think
31:55
Speaker 1: this through for a moment. So talking about the girl
32:01
Speaker 1: murdering and trying to dismember her father, Ashley Willcott. Not
32:06
Speaker 1: everybody's fine with hearing that. Well, it talks about her
32:10
Speaker 1: having sex on our period. Been you say, doesn't bother
32:15
Speaker 1: me at all to hear that. I'm a little more
32:18
Speaker 1: concerned about the dead body. Yeah, right, isn't that amazing
32:22
Speaker 1: human nature? Like, oh, we can't hear about sex on
32:24
Speaker 1: a period, but we can talk about the murder of
32:27
Speaker 1: the dead body. And I don't need to go back
32:29
Speaker 1: to your point. This is not only evidenced by cell
32:33
Speaker 1: phone recording that they made, but there's so much forensic
32:37
Speaker 1: evidence that you've been delving into about this victim and
32:40
Speaker 1: victim rights and trying to prosecute this case. Listen, you've
32:43
Speaker 1: got the saw, you've got the video of what they purchased.
32:45
Speaker 1: You've got them trying to burn the house. You've got
32:47
Speaker 1: the actual saw marks that would be left on a
32:50
Speaker 1: body to determine if that's the same saw used. You've
32:53
Speaker 1: got the type of mice that was used to stab.
32:56
Speaker 1: All of those pieces of forensic evidence that what make
33:00
Speaker 1: a key. You're right, You're absolutely right. And we see
33:04
Speaker 1: as Vanessa Murphy from KLASTV is pointing out all of
33:09
Speaker 1: those pieces of the puzzle fitting together. And now this
33:13
Speaker 1: girl is sitting in a jail cell and somewhere in
33:16
Speaker 1: another cell as their teen lover. Wonder what they're thinking now.
33:20
Speaker 1: I guess they're not sorry they did it, but they're
33:23
Speaker 1: sorry they got caught. Guys, they were arrested four hundred
33:29
Speaker 1: miles away. So when you think your team girl, oh no,
33:33
Speaker 1: they could never catch a train, they'd never know what
33:35
Speaker 1: to do. They can't rent a car, think twice. Take
33:38
Speaker 1: a listen to Stephen Fabian our cut ten Inside Edition
33:42
Speaker 1: toop say, Sierra Hallset and her boyfriend took off in
33:45
Speaker 1: her dad's car right after the slaying. They were arrested
33:50
Speaker 1: days later, four hundred miles away in Salt Lake City,
33:54
Speaker 1: after apparently trying to dodge a train fare. Prosecutors say
33:58
Speaker 1: they found that chilling video on the girl's cell phone.
34:01
Speaker 1: It appears to have been taken in a tent while
34:04
Speaker 1: they were on the run. At one point, Aaron put
34:06
Speaker 1: his hands around Sierra's neck. The two were also caught
34:12
Speaker 1: on security camera buying bleach and other items cops say
34:15
Speaker 1: were used to clean up the crime scene. Well, it's
34:18
Speaker 1: not the first time a teen girl or a teen
34:22
Speaker 1: boy for that matter, has killed their parents over a
34:25
Speaker 1: girlfriend slash boyfriend, and it's sad to say it probably
34:29
Speaker 1: won't be the last. There's a case of Evelyn Gainza.
34:34
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Carry Neilson CBS for miamis Seventeen year
34:37
Speaker 1: old Evelyn Gainza was implicit, police say, and the murder
34:40
Speaker 1: of her dad, sixty three year old Avilio Gainza. Evelyn's boyfriend,
34:45
Speaker 1: Damar Terrellis is charged with committing the actual act here
34:50
Speaker 1: at the dad's home in southwest Miami Dade last Monday night.
34:54
Speaker 1: The body discovered Thursday decomposing after a relative asked police
34:59
Speaker 1: to check on gain Zip. Belie's sake, evil and stole
35:02
Speaker 1: her father's car Monday, picked up her boyfriend here at
35:05
Speaker 1: her mother's where they were staying and drove him to
35:08
Speaker 1: the father's home, where Carrollas went upstairs and shot the
35:12
Speaker 1: man in the back multiple times. There was bad blood
35:15
Speaker 1: between this girl's dad and this boyfriend of whom he
35:19
Speaker 1: did not approve. Well, here's another case of a teen
35:22
Speaker 1: girl who murders not only dad, but mommy too. Take
35:26
Speaker 1: a listen to Laurence Stevenson wj f W. Thirty seven
35:30
Speaker 1: year old Thomas Ayres and forty year old Jennifer Ayres
35:33
Speaker 1: had been killed. Investigators linked seventeen year old Rhinelander High
35:37
Speaker 1: School student Ashley Martinson to the deaths of her mother
35:40
Speaker 1: and stepfather. Oneida County Sheriff's Captain Terry Hook wouldn't confirm
35:45
Speaker 1: when the murders happened, but a source we trust told
35:48
Speaker 1: us the couple was killed on Saturday after an argument
35:51
Speaker 1: with Ashley. Oneida County deputies put out a nationwide alert
35:56
Speaker 1: to law enforcement to help arrest Martinson, who they consider
36:00
Speaker 1: a suspect. As we were getting information, we were making
36:03
Speaker 1: contact with agencies as further and further self so they
36:06
Speaker 1: were aware that we were looking and they were keeping
36:09
Speaker 1: a lookout for us. Hours later, a Boone County Indiana
36:12
Speaker 1: sheriff's deputy recognize the car Martinson was believed to have
36:15
Speaker 1: been driving. He arrested Martinson and her boyfriend, twenty two
36:19
Speaker 1: year old Ryan Daniel Cisco. Right now, investigators do not
36:24
Speaker 1: believe Cisco was involved in the killings. It goes on
36:27
Speaker 1: and on and on. I've got a stack of so
36:30
Speaker 1: called similar transactions where teen girls turn on their parents
36:36
Speaker 1: when the parents do not allow the teen girl to
36:39
Speaker 1: be with the boyfriend. You know, Karen Stark's some may
36:42
Speaker 1: euphemistically refer it to Compared to Romeo and Juliet, they
36:46
Speaker 1: didn't murder their family members. They unwittingly ended up in
36:51
Speaker 1: a double suicide pack. That's what happened. But that's just
36:56
Speaker 1: a story. That's a drama. This is real. This is
37:02
Speaker 1: murdering your parents because you can't be with your popular boyfriend.
37:07
Speaker 1: It's Leo Nancy, And think about this. The extraordinary part,
37:12
Speaker 1: I think is that they actually made this video. And
37:15
Speaker 1: how telling is that that kids are so used to
37:19
Speaker 1: being on social media and broadcasting that they had absolutely
37:24
Speaker 1: no problem saying murder, talking about the fact now they
37:28
Speaker 1: could absolutely have sex, blood and laughing and actually relating choking,
37:36
Speaker 1: getting a grand old time, no conscious, nothing that would
37:41
Speaker 1: even indicate that there's any sorrow involved in this. Do
37:44
Speaker 1: you think there were signs? I would love to know
37:47
Speaker 1: if there were signed because the thing I was wondering
37:50
Speaker 1: about is why wasn't she living with her mother? And
37:54
Speaker 1: what kinds of things came up as a result, and
37:57
Speaker 1: not that I wanted to say that that would ever
37:59
Speaker 1: give someone who readill a parent. And when I'm looking
38:02
Speaker 1: at the background, I wonder what the story is behind that,
38:06
Speaker 1: because normally you would think she would live with her mother.
38:09
Speaker 1: To Vanessa Murphy instead, reporter KLASTV eight News now dot com, Vanessa,
38:16
Speaker 1: where does the case stand right now? They are both
38:20
Speaker 1: charged with murder At this point, Aaron Guerrero is in
38:25
Speaker 1: an adult jail. We believe that Sierra house Tests is
38:30
Speaker 1: in the juvenile hall. Sierra is sixteen years old. She
38:35
Speaker 1: will be charged as an adult in Nevada. If the
38:39
Speaker 1: charge is murder, they are automatically charged as an adult
38:43
Speaker 1: sixteen and up. Aaron Guerrero again, he's eighteen. We are
38:48
Speaker 1: waiting to find out if the Clark County District Attorney
38:52
Speaker 1: will pursue the death penalty for him. We wait as
38:55
Speaker 1: justice un Falls, Nancy Grace crime story, signing off good
38:59
Speaker 1: bye friend,
