The Neighbor He Trusted Who Quietly Stole His Whole Life · Dark Psychology: The Control Game

0:03
Speaker 1: At seven fourteen in the morning on February eleventh, twenty nineteen,
0:09
Speaker 1: a utility lineman named Eugene Green rounded the back corner
0:13
Speaker 1: of a house on Callaway Run in Orrville, Ohio.
0:17
Speaker 2: He stopped.
0:18
Speaker 1: An institutional gray filing cabinet stood in the snow. Four
0:22
Speaker 1: drawers fanned open, completely empty. A single laminated index card
0:28
Speaker 1: lay centered in the top drawer. Eugene did not touch it.
0:32
Speaker 1: He photographed it first. The card had a child's first
0:36
Speaker 1: name written on it in blue ball point. Next to
0:39
Speaker 1: the name, four thousand, seven hundred dollars. Inside that house
0:43
Speaker 1: lived a woman who had spent eleven years caring for
0:46
Speaker 1: children the state could not place anywhere else.
0:49
Speaker 2: What happened to.
0:50
Speaker 1: Her, and how it happened, would not come from a
0:53
Speaker 1: detective's hunch or a surveillance camera. It would come from
0:57
Speaker 1: a whiteboard in her kitchen, a phone note written six
1:00
Speaker 1: months before anyone suspected a thing, and one small laminated
1:05
Speaker 1: card in a filing.
1:06
Speaker 2: Cabinet that should never have left the house at all.
1:08
Speaker 1: There is something in this case that resists easy framing.
1:12
Speaker 1: A filing cabinet dragged into a january yard is not
1:15
Speaker 1: a body, but it is in its own way, a
1:18
Speaker 1: kind of disappearance. By the time investigators understood what the
1:22
Speaker 1: cabinet meant, they also understood something more unsettling. The dismantling
1:27
Speaker 1: of Teresa Cox's reality had been planned before he ever
1:31
Speaker 1: knocked on her door. Teresa Cox was forty eight years
1:35
Speaker 1: old and lived alone at four Callaway Run, a modest,
1:39
Speaker 1: single story house in Orville, Ohio. She had moved there
1:42
Speaker 1: from a Columbus suburb after her divorce, deliberately looking for
1:46
Speaker 1: a quieter structure to build her life around. She found
1:50
Speaker 1: it in foster care. For eleven years, Teresa held an
1:54
Speaker 1: active foster placement license through the Ohio Department of Children
1:58
Speaker 1: and Family Services. Fourteen children had passed through her home
2:02
Speaker 1: in that time. She was known by her caseworkers as
2:05
Speaker 1: organized and reliable, the kind of woman who kept records
2:08
Speaker 1: in a filing cabinet with laminated tabs, who answered calls promptly,
2:13
Speaker 1: and who maintained a household routine that children in crisis
2:17
Speaker 1: could depend on. At the time the events of this
2:19
Speaker 1: case began, Teresa had two active placements. Devon was fifteen
2:24
Speaker 1: years old, Amber was twelve. Neither child had a permanent
2:28
Speaker 1: home to return to Teresa. Was it Her older sister,
2:33
Speaker 1: Donna Pruet, lived outside the county and held Teresa's power
2:37
Speaker 1: of attorney, established after health scare some years earlier. The
2:42
Speaker 1: two sisters had a standing routine Every Wednesday at eleven
2:45
Speaker 1: fifteen in the evening, Teresa called. The calls were brief,
2:50
Speaker 1: mostly ordinary, the week's events, whatever was aggravating her, how
2:55
Speaker 1: the kids were doing. Donna described those calls as the
2:59
Speaker 1: kind of contact that means nothing until it stops. Teresa
3:03
Speaker 1: was not a woman who described herself as lonely. She
3:07
Speaker 1: was practical about the shape of her life. She had
3:10
Speaker 1: made choices, and she stood behind them. But she was also,
3:13
Speaker 1: by every account, a woman who extended trust as a
3:17
Speaker 1: first position rather than a last resort. Eleven years of
3:21
Speaker 1: caring for children who had been failed by adults had
3:24
Speaker 1: not made her cynical. It had made her the kind
3:27
Speaker 1: of person Bruce Gray would later say he specifically looked for.
3:31
Speaker 1: In September of twenty eighteen, a man arrived at four
3:34
Speaker 1: Callaway Run with a work order. He wore a shirt
3:37
Speaker 1: embroidered with the logo of Sycamore Comfort Systems. He said
3:41
Speaker 1: there had been a reported concern in the area, about
3:44
Speaker 1: a furnace model common to houses built in that decade,
3:48
Speaker 1: and that he was doing courtesy checks. Teresa led him in.
3:51
Speaker 1: The inspection lasted forty minutes. When he left, he had
3:56
Speaker 1: noted the furnace model, asked two or three questions about
3:59
Speaker 1: the house, and mentioned almost off hand that he did
4:04
Speaker 1: some handyman work on the side. He said he had
4:07
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for people who did fostering. He
4:10
Speaker 1: said it simply, without elaborating. Teresa would remember that detail.
4:15
Speaker 2: His name, he said, was Bruce Gray.
4:18
Speaker 1: Gray had no current employment with Sycamore Comfort Systems.
4:22
Speaker 2: The work order was not in the company's system. The
4:25
Speaker 2: shirt had been.
4:25
Speaker 1: Bought online and embroidered to match. Investigators would later confirm
4:31
Speaker 1: he had done brief HVAC assistant work in Mansfield some
4:36
Speaker 1: years earlier, enough to know the vocabulary, the tools, the
4:40
Speaker 1: plausible concern about a furnace cohort, enough to get through
4:43
Speaker 1: a door. What Teresa did not know, and could not
4:47
Speaker 1: have known, was that Gray had documented her before he arrived.
4:52
Speaker 1: His phone's notes application contained an entry from August of
4:57
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. It listed her name, her address, her foster
5:02
Speaker 1: care license status, the number of current placements, and the
5:05
Speaker 1: make of her furnace. The last line read good margin.
5:10
Speaker 1: He had not found her by accident, he had selected her.
5:13
Speaker 1: By early November of two thousand eighteen, Bruce Gray was
5:17
Speaker 1: no longer a repairman.
5:19
Speaker 2: He was a presence.
5:20
Speaker 1: The forty minute furnace inspection had stretched into occasional visits,
5:24
Speaker 1: then regular ones, then something that looked from the outside
5:28
Speaker 1: like courtship. Teresa Cox, forty eight years old, organized and
5:33
Speaker 1: deliberate in everything she did, began returning his calls. What
5:38
Speaker 1: no one saw not yet was the kitchen whiteboard. It
5:42
Speaker 1: appeared some time after Gray moved in during December of
5:45
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen. To anyone glancing at it, the whiteboard
5:49
Speaker 1: looked like household accounting columns of numbers dollar amounts ranging
5:54
Speaker 1: from two hundred to several thousand, But the columns were
5:58
Speaker 1: not organized by utility bill or grocery run. They were
6:02
Speaker 1: organized by child. Each figure sat beside a first name, Devon, Amber,
6:08
Speaker 1: others who had passed through the house in prior months.
6:11
Speaker 1: Gray had labeled the structure himself. The word he used,
6:15
Speaker 1: according to later testimony, was investment. Devon was fifteen at
6:20
Speaker 1: the time he saw the whiteboard. He asked about it once,
6:23
Speaker 1: and Gray told him it was Teresa's private state reimbursement
6:27
Speaker 1: record PaperWorks she preferred to track by hand. Devon accepted
6:32
Speaker 1: that the explanation was specific enough to sound bureaucratic, mundane
6:37
Speaker 1: enough not to alarm. That is how a good lie works.
6:41
Speaker 1: It doesn't dazzle, It satisfies just enough to end the question.
6:45
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about that whiteboard. The state reimbursements
6:49
Speaker 1: for Teresa's foster placements went directly into her checking account,
6:53
Speaker 1: as they always had, They appeared on no whiteboard. The
6:57
Speaker 1: figures Gray had written were not reimbursements. They were something
7:01
Speaker 1: else entirely, and the investigation would later establish what. Between
7:06
Speaker 1: December of twenty eighteen and late January of twenty nineteen,
7:10
Speaker 1: seven bank transfers left Teresa's checking account. The total exceeded
7:15
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand dollars. The receiving account was registered to
7:19
Speaker 1: a man named Robert Finch, a retired school teacher from
7:23
Speaker 1: Morro County who had never met Teresa. Cox had no
7:26
Speaker 1: knowledge of any transfer and would later tell investigators he
7:30
Speaker 1: had no idea his identity had been used. Gray had
7:34
Speaker 1: obtained Finch's account details by posing as a utility representative.
7:39
Speaker 1: Finch was not a partner. Finch was a shell. Twenty
7:43
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars in six weeks, each transfer authorized at
7:48
Speaker 1: least on paper by Teresa. Angela Potts, the DCFS caseworker
7:53
Speaker 1: assigned to Devon, visited the house in late January of
7:57
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. She conducted the standard er welfare check. She
8:01
Speaker 1: found Teresa present, articulate, and in apparent good health. She
8:06
Speaker 1: saw the whiteboard. She noted the figures, assumed they were
8:10
Speaker 1: household budgeting, and moved on. She would flag the whiteboard
8:14
Speaker 1: later after everything.
8:16
Speaker 2: Had broken open.
8:17
Speaker 1: But in that room, in that moment, the whiteboard looked
8:20
Speaker 1: exactly like what Gray needed it to look like. Organized
8:24
Speaker 1: Domestic explained Donna Pruitt had been calling her younger sister
8:29
Speaker 1: every Wednesday at eleven fifteen in the evening for years.
8:33
Speaker 1: The calls were not scheduled in any formal sense. They
8:37
Speaker 1: had simply become habit, a rhythm established after a health
8:40
Speaker 1: scare that had prompted Teresa to assign Donna her power
8:44
Speaker 1: of attorney. The calls were Teresa's way of staying connected
8:48
Speaker 1: and Donna's way of keeping count. They stopped in December
8:51
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, Donna noticed immediately, she told herself there
8:56
Speaker 1: was an explanation. Gray was in the house. Now Teresa
9:00
Speaker 1: had a partner. The dynamics of a Wednesday evening had changed.
9:04
Speaker 1: She gave it a few weeks, then a few more.
9:07
Speaker 1: When she finally visited in January of twenty nineteen, she
9:12
Speaker 1: would later tell investigators that Teresa was present in the room,
9:16
Speaker 1: but seemed to be choosing her words the way a
9:19
Speaker 1: person chooses footing on ice, carefully, carefully, with full attention
9:24
Speaker 1: on the next step. Donna recorded Teresa's exact words during
9:28
Speaker 1: one part of that conversation. The specific phrases she documented
9:33
Speaker 1: were not about money. They were about the house, about
9:37
Speaker 1: how things were being handled, about how Bruce understood the
9:40
Speaker 1: pressures of fostering in a way most.
9:42
Speaker 2: People did it.
9:43
Speaker 1: Donna left without confronting anything directly. She drove home and
9:48
Speaker 1: requested Teresa's bank statements. What she found ended the waiting.
9:53
Speaker 1: In early February of twenty nineteen, Donna contacted the Sycamore
9:57
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office and the Apartment of Children and Family
10:01
Speaker 1: Services simultaneously. The Financial Crimes Unit assigned Vicki Armstrong, an
10:07
Speaker 1: investigator with a background in.
10:09
Speaker 2: Insurance fraud to the case.
10:11
Speaker 1: Armstrong had seen transfer patterns before. She had seen receiving
10:15
Speaker 1: accounts designed to buffer distance between sender and beneficiary. What
10:20
Speaker 1: she had not seen in this configuration was the specific
10:24
Speaker 1: use of a foster care household as the point of entry.
10:27
Speaker 1: She started pulling the account registered to Robert Finch. Within
10:31
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, the shape of it was clear. Finch
10:35
Speaker 1: was a clean identity borrowed without his knowledge, used to
10:39
Speaker 1: receive funds and establish a rental. Armstrong flagged the case
10:43
Speaker 1: to Morrow County. That flag reached Detective phil Ostein. Ostein
10:47
Speaker 1: recognized the method not from Teresa's case, from a woman
10:52
Speaker 1: named Sandra Birch, forty four years old, recently widowed, living
10:57
Speaker 1: in Morengo.
10:58
Speaker 2: A man had.
10:59
Speaker 1: Entered Birch's home as a water softener technician two years earlier.
11:03
Speaker 1: He had become indispensable, then romantic, then gone. She had
11:08
Speaker 1: lost more than thirty thousand dollars. She had spent two
11:12
Speaker 1: years believing she had simply been stupid. The case had
11:16
Speaker 1: never been solved. Ostein pulled the file and set it
11:20
Speaker 1: beside Armstrong's The entry method was different, the victim profile
11:25
Speaker 1: was different, but the architecture service entry, manufactured indispensability, romantic escalation,
11:33
Speaker 1: financial extraction, clean exit was identical. What Ostin was looking
11:39
Speaker 1: at was not a single act of opportunism.
11:42
Speaker 2: It was a.
11:43
Speaker 1: Template picture gray. On the morning of February tenth, two
11:46
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, the investigation was moving. He may not have
11:50
Speaker 1: known exactly how close it was, but something had shifted
11:54
Speaker 1: Donna's visit the bank request some signal he read in Teresa's.
11:58
Speaker 2: Posture or her questions. He went to the filing.
12:00
Speaker 1: Cabinet, four drawers, institutional gray, approximately one hundred pounds empty.
12:07
Speaker 1: He dragged it across the patio and into the backyard.
12:10
Speaker 2: He emptied it.
12:12
Speaker 1: Eleven years of foster records, intake forms, placement histories, medical summaries,
12:18
Speaker 1: school reports, documentation accumulated across fourteen children, their names, their cases,
12:25
Speaker 1: their circumstances.
12:27
Speaker 2: All of it removed.
12:28
Speaker 1: The cabinet was left with its drawers fanned open in
12:31
Speaker 1: the yard. The next morning, February eleventh, at seven fourteen
12:36
Speaker 1: in the morning, Eugene Green arrived at four Callaway Run
12:40
Speaker 1: as part of his route for Orville Municipal Power.
12:43
Speaker 2: He saw the cabinet.
12:44
Speaker 1: He stopped before he touched anything. He took out his
12:47
Speaker 1: phone and photographed what he found. Centered in the top
12:51
Speaker 1: open drawer, a laminated index card, the child's first name
12:56
Speaker 1: written in blue ballpoint, a dollar figure beside it, four thousand,
13:00
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars. Green photographed before touching anything. That decision small, instinctive,
13:08
Speaker 1: the kind of thing a careful person does, preserved the
13:11
Speaker 1: image before any chain of custody could complicate it. The
13:15
Speaker 1: cabinet weighed roughly one hundred pounds empty. It had been dragged,
13:21
Speaker 1: not carried. The drag marks were still visible across the
13:24
Speaker 1: patio concrete when investigators arrived. Gray had taken everything that
13:28
Speaker 1: could connect children's identities to financial records, everything except one
13:34
Speaker 1: card that had slipped to the back of the top drawer.
13:37
Speaker 1: The investigation had been building from Donna's report, from the
13:40
Speaker 1: Finch account, from Osteine's recognition of the Sandra Birch template.
13:45
Speaker 1: But it was that index card, one laminated slip of
13:49
Speaker 1: paper with a child's name and a dollar amount that
13:52
Speaker 1: gave the case a physical object, something a jury could see.
13:57
Speaker 1: Gray was arrested on March third, two thirds ty nineteen
14:01
Speaker 1: in Shelby, Ohio. He was renting a room under the
14:04
Speaker 1: name Robert Finch. He said nothing at arrest, nothing at arraignment.
14:10
Speaker 1: The alias held until it didn't now consider what the
14:14
Speaker 1: evidence stacked together actually showed. The phone note from August
14:19
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen placed his interest in Teresa before any
14:24
Speaker 1: furnace call, before any repair, before any apparent relationship. The
14:29
Speaker 1: whiteboard tracked children as line items. The transfers moved money
14:34
Speaker 1: through a borrowed identity. The filing cabinet, emptied and abandoned
14:39
Speaker 1: suggested he knew exactly what the records contained and exactly
14:43
Speaker 1: why they needed to disappear. Every piece pointed toward a
14:47
Speaker 1: man who had planned this, a man who had located Teresa,
14:51
Speaker 1: assessed her value, entered her house under a false name,
14:55
Speaker 1: manufactured the conditions of trust, and executed a systematic extractation.
15:01
Speaker 1: That was the obvious architecture. That was what the evidence confirmed.
15:06
Speaker 1: But there was a version the defense tried to construct,
15:10
Speaker 1: and it deserves a close look, not because it holds,
15:14
Speaker 1: but because understanding where it collapses tells you something important
15:19
Speaker 1: about how the manipulation actually worked. The defense argued that
15:23
Speaker 1: every transfer had been authorized by Teresa that the whiteboard
15:28
Speaker 1: was domestic communication misread by investigators with a predetermined frame,
15:33
Speaker 1: that Gray was a man in a relationship who had
15:36
Speaker 1: managed household finances at his partner's request. That the filing
15:40
Speaker 1: cabinet was moved because Gray was cleaning out space, not
15:44
Speaker 1: destroying evidence, that what looked like a scheme was in
15:48
Speaker 1: fact a shared domestic life that ended badly and was
15:51
Speaker 1: then criminalized by a grieving family. Picture that version in
15:55
Speaker 1: the kitchen Teresa organized and meticulous, keeping eleven years of
16:01
Speaker 1: records in perfect order, suddenly delegating her finances to a
16:06
Speaker 1: man she had known for three months and allowing him
16:08
Speaker 1: to wire twenty two thousand dollars to an account she
16:12
Speaker 1: could not independently verify. Picture the white board as household budgeting,
16:17
Speaker 1: with columns labeled by the first names of foster children
16:20
Speaker 1: and a word Gray himself used investment. That version collapses
16:25
Speaker 1: at the foam note. August of two thousand eighteen, a
16:29
Speaker 1: month before Gray knocked on the door, he had already
16:32
Speaker 1: written down her name, her licensed status, her current placements,
16:36
Speaker 1: and the make.
16:37
Speaker 2: Of her furnace.
16:38
Speaker 1: He had written a good margin, no shared domestic life
16:42
Speaker 1: begins before the introduction. No misunderstanding produces a pre arrival spreadsheet.
16:48
Speaker 1: The note was not a record of a relationship. It
16:51
Speaker 1: was a record of a selection. And the records he
16:54
Speaker 1: took from the filing cabinet, the ones that were never recovered,
16:57
Speaker 1: whose purpose was never fully resolved by the investoration. Those
17:01
Speaker 1: children's documents did not disappear because Gray was cleaning up
17:05
Speaker 1: a relationship. They disappeared because they had value. He had
17:09
Speaker 1: not yet finished extracting what that value was exactly. The
17:13
Speaker 1: investigation could not fully establish. That thread remains open. It
17:18
Speaker 1: is the one part of this case that did not
17:21
Speaker 1: close with a confession.
17:22
Speaker 2: Gray was arrested on.
17:24
Speaker 1: March third, two thousand nineteen, in Shelby, Ohio. He was
17:28
Speaker 1: renting a room under the name Robert Finch, the same
17:32
Speaker 1: identity he had used to receive Terrese's money. When investigators
17:36
Speaker 1: found him, he said nothing at arrest and nothing at arrangement.
17:40
Speaker 1: He had used silence before he knew how it worked.
17:44
Speaker 1: The charges were wire fraud, identity theft, financial exploitation of
17:49
Speaker 1: a vulnerable adult, and contributing to the endangerment of miners.
17:53
Speaker 2: The last charge mattered in a specific way.
17:57
Speaker 1: Devon and Amber had lived inside the operation, Their names
18:01
Speaker 1: had appeared on a whiteboard, their state reimbursements had been
18:04
Speaker 1: calculated as margin. The defense argument at trial was methodical.
18:09
Speaker 1: All transfers had been authorized by Teresa. The whiteboard was
18:13
Speaker 1: domestic communication misread by a family in grief and investigators
18:18
Speaker 1: with a predetermined conclusion.
18:20
Speaker 2: Gray was a man.
18:21
Speaker 1: Who had lived in that house, managed its finances at
18:25
Speaker 1: his partner's request, and left when the relationship ended. Day
18:29
Speaker 1: five of trial, the prosecution introduced Gray's foam. The notes
18:35
Speaker 1: app entry from August of twenty eighteen was read into
18:38
Speaker 1: the record. Teresa's name, her address, her foster Care license number,
18:43
Speaker 1: her furnace model, two current placements, both miners, and the
18:48
Speaker 1: line good margin. The entry predated his first knock on
18:52
Speaker 1: her door by approximately one month. The defense had no
18:56
Speaker 1: answer for the time standing. Gray confessed before the afternoon
18:59
Speaker 1: secie ended. He stated that he had targeted Teresa because
19:03
Speaker 1: foster care created a reliable paper trail, and because a
19:07
Speaker 1: woman who had spent eleven years extending trust to strangers had,
19:12
Speaker 1: in his assessment, self selected for this. He expressed no remorse.
19:17
Speaker 1: The jury convicted on all counts. Deliberation lasted under three hours.
19:22
Speaker 1: Detective Philostine, who had recognized Grey's method from a prior
19:27
Speaker 1: unsolved case in Morrow County, confirmed the match to Sandra
19:30
Speaker 1: Birch's situation. After the confession, Birch had lost more than
19:35
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars. She had believed for two years that
19:38
Speaker 1: she had simply been careless. The confession reframed her loss
19:42
Speaker 1: as the result of a system, not a failure of judgment.
19:47
Speaker 2: The foster records.
19:48
Speaker 1: Gray emptied from the filing cabinet were never recovered. What
19:51
Speaker 1: he intended to do with eleven years of children's documentation, names, placements,
19:57
Speaker 1: and case histories, identity adjacent information was never fully established
20:03
Speaker 1: by the investigation. The investigation closed that question as unresolved.
20:08
Speaker 1: It remains that way Teresa Cox's return to fostering six
20:12
Speaker 1: months after the trial ended. The license she had held
20:16
Speaker 1: for eleven years was still valid. She had not surrendered it. Devon,
20:20
Speaker 1: who had been fifteen when Gray arrived and seventeen by
20:25
Speaker 1: the time the verdict came in, remained in her home
20:29
Speaker 1: through graduation.
20:30
Speaker 2: He had seen the whiteboard. He had accepted the explanation.
20:34
Speaker 1: Gray offered and said nothing because the explanation was delivered
20:38
Speaker 1: by a man who had positioned himself as the house's authority.
20:42
Speaker 1: At trial, Devon sat one row behind Teresa. For every
20:46
Speaker 1: session he did not testify.
20:48
Speaker 2: He did not need to.
20:50
Speaker 1: His presence was its own statement about what had survived.
20:54
Speaker 1: Amber was placed with a permanent family before the verdict.
20:58
Speaker 2: She was twelve when this.
21:00
Speaker 1: The record does not detail what she understood or when
21:04
Speaker 1: Gray built his operation on a precise calculation. Foster Care
21:09
Speaker 1: produced a paper trail which created the appearance of financial complexity.
21:13
Speaker 2: A woman who had spent over.
21:14
Speaker 1: A decade opening her home to children in crisis had
21:18
Speaker 1: demonstrated repeatedly and publicly that she extended trust as a
21:22
Speaker 1: matter of practice. Gray read that not as virtue, but
21:26
Speaker 1: as exposure. He documented it as margin, and planned accordingly.
21:32
Speaker 1: What the case makes visible is the architecture of that dismantlement.
21:37
Speaker 1: It did not begin with money. It began with a
21:40
Speaker 1: work order for a furnace that no one had requested,
21:43
Speaker 1: a forty minute inspection, and a comment about respecting what
21:47
Speaker 1: Teresa did. The romance, the cohabitation, the whiteboard, the transfers.
21:53
Speaker 1: Each step followed logically from the one before it, and
21:56
Speaker 1: each step made the next one harder to question. From
21:59
Speaker 1: the inside. Teresa could not have seen the notes app
22:04
Speaker 1: She could not have known about Sandra Birch. She could
22:08
Speaker 1: not have known that the work shirt had been ordered
22:10
Speaker 1: online and embroidered to match a company that had never
22:13
Speaker 1: sent anyone to her address.
22:16
Speaker 2: She extended trust.
22:17
Speaker 1: Because that was in every other part of her life
22:20
Speaker 1: the correct thing to do. That is the part of
22:23
Speaker 1: this case that does not resolve cleanly. The conviction closed
22:27
Speaker 1: the legal file. It did not answer what it costs
22:30
Speaker 1: a person to rebuild the capacity for trust after someone
22:33
Speaker 1: has treated that capacity as an inventory line. She went
22:37
Speaker 1: back to fostering. That is what the record shows. Whatever
22:41
Speaker 1: that decision required of her, she made it. This show
22:45
Speaker 1: is made by Obo Media.
