- 3:34Speaker 1: Joining me an all star panel to make sense of
- 3:36Speaker 1: what we are learning tonight.
- 3:38Speaker 6: But I know this much.
- 3:39Speaker 1: The body of a thirteen year old little boy who
- 3:43Speaker 1: trusted his soccer coach implicitly was found thrown by the
- 3:50Speaker 1: side of the road like trash.
- 3:53Speaker 6: But how did he get there? What led up to that?
- 3:57Speaker 6: Joining me, as I said.
- 3:57Speaker 1: An all star panel, But first let me go to
- 4:00Speaker 1: Sierra Vanderbrugg, crime safety reporter at La Daily News.
- 4:05Speaker 6: Sierra, thank you for being with us.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Tell me about this soccer field and how is it
- 4:11Speaker 1: that this little boy.
- 4:12Speaker 6: Is out there playing when he.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Is approached and befriended by an illegal alien soccer coach.
- 4:19Speaker 7: We still have a lot of questions about the process
- 4:24Speaker 7: of Garcia Keno meeting Hernandez, but reports indicate that he
- 4:29Speaker 7: was his soccer coach on a travel boys team located
- 4:34Speaker 7: out here in the San Fernando Valley. Sheriff Robert Luna
- 4:38Speaker 7: here in Los Angeles told us that Garcia Qino worked
- 4:42Speaker 7: as a coach for a youth travel soccer team called
- 4:45Speaker 7: the Hurricane Valley Boys Soccer Club, where he coached varying
- 4:48Speaker 7: age groups.
- 4:49Speaker 1: You know, I'm very curious as to your take on this.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Most of Castillo joining me, private investigator with the Dordulian
- 4:57Speaker 1: Law Group, former supervisor detective with the LAPD. Mister Caristillo,
- 5:02Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. It sounds like a
- 5:05Speaker 1: textbook case. A text book case. The boy lives, breathes
- 5:12Speaker 1: and apes soccer when he's not in school, he's at
- 5:15Speaker 1: the soccer fields and he is approached by this youth
- 5:19Speaker 1: soccer coach and now he's dead. Moses, yes, horrible.
- 5:24Speaker 8: Thank you for having me Nancy. First of all, I
- 5:27Speaker 8: want to tell you that these groomers are great at
- 5:30Speaker 8: what they do. Not only do they earn the trust
- 5:33Speaker 8: of the victims that they're targeting, but they also gained
- 5:38Speaker 8: the trust of their parents, their family to the point
- 5:40Speaker 8: where they let him get on the train and travel
- 5:43Speaker 8: all the way two hours to where he lives and
- 5:45Speaker 8: spend the night. Unbelievable that this even happened, But that's
- 5:49Speaker 8: the reality. That these groomers are so good that they
- 5:52Speaker 8: can convince a family to do just that.
- 5:55Speaker 6: I know they're thaying Moses Christillo.
- 5:57Speaker 1: They dangle of the children and the family that the
- 6:03Speaker 1: child has amazing soccer skills or amazing fill in the
- 6:07Speaker 1: blank skills, tennis skills, football skills, basketball skills, and that
- 6:11Speaker 1: they could get a college scholarship maybe or maybe even
- 6:15Speaker 1: play pro.
- 6:17Speaker 6: And for a lot of children, I mean, it would
- 6:20Speaker 6: have been a huge.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Carrot if my family when we were growing up, you know,
- 6:25Speaker 1: nobody had ever been to college in our family. If
- 6:28Speaker 1: they thought, wow, she's so good at blank, we can
- 6:32Speaker 1: get her in college for free.
- 6:35Speaker 6: She can get tuition and a college education.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of lure that makes parents
- 6:41Speaker 1: believe these coaches.
- 6:43Speaker 8: Absolutely, They tell me Johnny's a great player, he's going
- 6:46Speaker 8: to be a star, and so on and so forth.
- 6:48Speaker 8: But I gotta tell you, sources closer to the investigation
- 6:51Speaker 8: have told me that this was a self proclaimed coach.
- 6:55Speaker 8: He wasn't certified, He wasn't registered with any league as
- 6:58Speaker 8: a coach whatsoever. And when the authorities searched his residents,
- 7:02Speaker 8: they did find plato ID cards, They found registration forms, applications,
- 7:08Speaker 8: which tells me that some league give them access to
- 7:12Speaker 8: these children and they should never have done that.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Oh my stars, how did he do it? You're telling
- 7:21Speaker 1: me that adults believed.
- 7:24Speaker 6: His scam and let him have access to these children.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I mean, we know that he approached the little boy
- 7:32Speaker 1: Oscar and said, wow, you're amazing, and offered him private
- 7:38Speaker 1: soccer lessons coaching for free.
- 7:41Speaker 6: That doesn't happen.
- 7:44Speaker 1: My son as a soccer player and he gets goalie lessons.
- 7:51Speaker 1: But through the school, the school has a goalie coach
- 7:54Speaker 1: that helping the goalies. This guy just walks out onto
- 7:58Speaker 1: a soccer field ap proaches a little boy and says, hey,
- 8:02Speaker 1: you're awesome. I'm going to give you soccer coaching for free.
- 8:08Speaker 1: That's what happened, Moses.
- 8:10Speaker 8: That is crazy, that's bizarre that it went unchecked and
- 8:14Speaker 8: nobody stepped in and said, hey, show me your credentials.
- 8:17Speaker 8: You're not certified. Parents need to be more vigilant and
- 8:22Speaker 8: confirmed these things. Are you going to be the coach?
- 8:25Speaker 8: Show me your credentials, Show me that you've been certified,
- 8:27Speaker 8: that you've been life scanned, that you went through a
- 8:29Speaker 8: background check, that you've been through the training. All that
- 8:32Speaker 8: was missed.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But you know what, you know what, let me go
- 8:35Speaker 1: to Karen Stark guys. Karen is renownedd psychologists, joining us
- 8:38Speaker 1: out of Manhattan, TV radio trauma expert and you can
- 8:42Speaker 1: find her at Karenstark dot com. Karen, parents that are uneducated,
- 8:50Speaker 1: and I don't mean didn't go to college. I don't
- 8:52Speaker 1: mean that, I mean parents like my parents. Why would
- 8:58Speaker 1: they question that someone's not a soccer coach?
- 9:03Speaker 6: Right? Yes, says the first to say, why didn't the
- 9:08Speaker 6: parents know? Why didn't the parents check him out? But
- 9:11Speaker 6: I'm thinking back when we were growing up, we.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Were exposed to all sorts of adults that didn't have
- 9:17Speaker 1: a background check, It didn't have credentials, So I don't
- 9:22Speaker 1: really blame the parents here.
- 9:23Speaker 9: This is somebody who's come across so charismatic outwardly, and
- 9:29Speaker 9: he was considered trusted by these children. These boys, they
- 9:34Speaker 9: thought he was fabulous. How would they know anything else?
- 9:37Speaker 9: And the parents believed him. They are so skilled. This
- 9:41Speaker 9: kind of guy is so skilled at coming across that way.
- 9:45Speaker 9: But underneath this is a predator. This is what he wants.
- 9:49Speaker 9: He wants psycho sexual fulfillment, and so he does the
- 9:53Speaker 9: best job he can to convince them they should trust
- 9:57Speaker 9: him with their children.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Sierra Vanderbrugg is joining us from Daily News.
- 10:04Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking at those.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Photos, Sierra, take a look at those photos we were
- 10:08Speaker 1: just showing.
- 10:09Speaker 6: It shows the coach with a team.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Now, explain to me he was He approached little Oscar
- 10:20Speaker 1: about joining the club.
- 10:22Speaker 6: What club?
- 10:23Speaker 7: So we had Sheriff Robert Luna here in Los Angeles
- 10:25Speaker 7: confirming that Garcia Ko worked as a coach for a
- 10:28Speaker 7: youth travel soccer league called the Hurricane Valley Boys Soccer
- 10:31Speaker 7: Club and that as a part of this club, he
- 10:33Speaker 7: coached various age groups.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Oh, a travel league, That's that's a lot different, Okay, Sierra,
- 10:39Speaker 1: explain what is a travel league?
- 10:41Speaker 7: To my understanding, A travel league would be a competitive
- 10:44Speaker 7: team that would travel around to multiple locations, competing in
- 10:48Speaker 7: soccer games.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Okay, now, and they're not school affiliated, Moses Castillo, My
- 10:55Speaker 1: son played with a similar league and they don't travel far,
- 11:01Speaker 1: but they do travel say an hour two hours max
- 11:05Speaker 1: to play basketball.
- 11:07Speaker 6: So it's not really affiliated with a school like you
- 11:10Speaker 6: were saying, but it's a travel aga.
- 11:12Speaker 1: And I find that really interesting because this coach, this
- 11:15Speaker 1: coach would then have access to these boys, many of
- 11:19Speaker 1: them very young and very small, away from the parents' Moses, Yes, his.
- 11:27Speaker 8: M move is very, very specific and targeted. He would
- 11:31Speaker 8: like to get these kids alcohol, get them drunk, have
- 11:35Speaker 8: them over, sleepovers, that kind of thing. And some of
- 11:38Speaker 8: them would wake up the next morning feelings like something
- 11:41Speaker 8: went wrong, something happened to them, but they were just
- 11:44Speaker 8: too afraid to a shame to speak up.
- 11:47Speaker 1: But this went on for a long time, and they
- 11:49Speaker 1: may not have really understood what went wrong.
- 11:52Speaker 6: I mean, they wake up.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And their clothes may be misadjusted, or they might feel queasy,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but they don't really know what happened. And it's a
- 12:01Speaker 1: nightmare scenario, especially for a little boy like this who
- 12:04Speaker 1: is just turned thirteen. So here again, how did this
- 12:09Speaker 1: suspect mate little Oscar.
- 12:12Speaker 7: It's unclear the specifics of how he exactly met Oscar,
- 12:15Speaker 7: but we've been told that he was his soccer coach,
- 12:18Speaker 7: so previous relationship established as a coach to Oscar.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Moses Castillo joining me private investigator with the Dordellian Law. Great, Moses,
- 12:28Speaker 1: have you seen the image of the Whitst Park facility.
- 12:33Speaker 6: It's huge.
- 12:35Speaker 8: Absolutely, that's why these predators they seek these positions because
- 12:38Speaker 8: that's a high victim target ridge environment. And that's exactly it.
- 12:44Speaker 8: And I gotta tell you, playing on this fields costs money.
- 12:47Speaker 8: You have to give permits, you have to pay for that.
- 12:50Speaker 8: And he did this unnoticed, unchecked for years.
- 12:55Speaker 10: Once you see the photos of this individual that if
- 12:59Speaker 10: you may have been a victim, please come forward. I
- 13:03Speaker 10: know it's not easy. I know it could be either embarrassing,
- 13:07Speaker 10: you don't want to tell somebody, but it's very important
- 13:11Speaker 10: that we bring justice not only to the family here
- 13:15Speaker 10: to my left, but any families that may have been
- 13:19Speaker 10: victimized by this.
- 13:21Speaker 1: How could a beautiful young first grade teacher be stabbed
- 13:25Speaker 1: twenty times, including in the back, allegedly die of suicide? Yes,
- 13:32Speaker 1: that was a medical examiner's official ruling after a closed
- 13:36Speaker 1: door meeting, he first named it a homicide. Why what
- 13:40Speaker 1: happened to Ellen Greenberg a huge American miscarriage of justice.
- 13:46Speaker 1: For an in depth look at the facts, see what
- 13:52Speaker 1: Happened to Ellen on Amazon. All proceeds to the National
- 13:57Speaker 1: Center for Missing and Exploited to.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Thirteen year old Oscar Omar Hernandez eagerly takes the train
- 14:05Speaker 2: from his home in Sun Valley to Palmade, California, with
- 14:08Speaker 2: the hopes of helping out his coach make jerseys for
- 14:10Speaker 2: the team. But twenty four hours later, Oscar still hasn't
- 14:13Speaker 2: returned home, despite claims from his coach that he dropped
- 14:16Speaker 2: the team off.
- 14:20Speaker 1: This is what we know right now. According to Homeland Security,
- 14:24Speaker 1: the coach is actually a quote depraved illegal alien. Their
- 14:30Speaker 1: words not mine.
- 14:32Speaker 6: Why do they say that?
- 14:34Speaker 1: And how did this little boy end up hours away
- 14:36Speaker 1: from home with the soccer coach?
- 14:40Speaker 6: Listen.
- 14:40Speaker 5: Later that night, host Sway tries to call Oscar again,
- 14:43Speaker 5: but it's not his little brother that answers. Garcia Akino
- 14:47Speaker 5: picks up, saying Oscar can't come to the.
- 14:49Speaker 6: Phone because his hands are dirty.
- 14:52Speaker 5: Has Sway tries to ask exactly what time he can
- 14:55Speaker 5: expect oscar home, but the coach waves him off once again,
- 14:59Speaker 5: promising he'll bring oscar home in a reasonable time Saturday.
- 15:02Speaker 6: No, we were.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Talking earlier, and I believe it was you, Moses Castillo,
- 15:06Speaker 1: and I understand why you said it that. Why didn't
- 15:09Speaker 1: the parents check this guy out? Why didn't they ask
- 15:11Speaker 1: for a background check where he was certified? Well, I
- 15:15Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to remember the name Jerry
- 15:18Speaker 1: Sandusky that was ultimately accused of. Oh, I don't even
- 15:24Speaker 1: know how many molestations, Listen.
- 15:27Speaker 11: I was kind of thinking that he was going to
- 15:29Speaker 11: get off scott free with this, and then I'm just
- 15:32Speaker 11: going to be another kid in the front page and
- 15:33Speaker 11: the newspaper that has a big liar stamped across his forehead.
- 15:36Speaker 10: The amount the damage he did and the number of
- 15:40Speaker 10: people that he arms is something that.
- 15:43Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 15:44Speaker 9: I don't know that anybody knows.
- 15:45Speaker 1: All our friends at ABC and CBS, I mean, for
- 15:49Speaker 1: Pete's sake, Karen Stark, when Castillo rightfully is saying, well,
- 15:56Speaker 1: did the parents check him out? That would be an
- 15:59Speaker 1: obvious question. And we parents trust the coach, we trust
- 16:04Speaker 1: the school, right they trusted the youth league.
- 16:08Speaker 6: As it is called.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Here, you had Jerry Sandusky, the long time, renowned, venerable coach,
- 16:17Speaker 1: the winner, and all this time he had been raping
- 16:21Speaker 1: boys in his charge, and everybody was too afraid to
- 16:25Speaker 1: say anything about.
- 16:26Speaker 9: It, especially especially when you think about it, Nancy, the boys.
- 16:31Speaker 9: It's not just they weren't sure of what happened in
- 16:33Speaker 9: this case when they stayed overnight. It's also that children
- 16:37Speaker 9: are afraid to report these predators. They're in a position
- 16:41Speaker 9: of a started. We're talking about a coach. We're talking
- 16:44Speaker 9: about sometimes someone who's very well known. The parents completely
- 16:48Speaker 9: trust them. Why shouldn't they, I mean, everyone pay a.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Year Jumping off what you just said, Karen, coach Jerry Sandusky,
- 16:57Speaker 1: it wasn't that he was just the Pennsylvania state systant
- 17:00Speaker 1: football coach, but he gave summer training to Pennsylvania's underprivileged
- 17:05Speaker 1: and at risk youth. That is where he met most
- 17:08Speaker 1: of his victims, right and they were about the age
- 17:13Speaker 1: of Oscar, the little boy Oscar that we're talking about
- 17:16Speaker 1: right now, Dubay forty five counts of sex abuse.
- 17:23Speaker 6: And look who he targeted.
- 17:26Speaker 1: He targeted at risk little boys, boys that were underprivileged
- 17:32Speaker 1: boys whose parents were probably both working or.
- 17:35Speaker 6: Had a one parent in the home who was working, and.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Was just happy that their child had been picked by
- 17:43Speaker 1: Sandusky to go to his the Second Mile.
- 17:47Speaker 6: Sports camp for underprivileged youth.
- 17:50Speaker 1: They probably thought, debate they were so lucky to get
- 17:53Speaker 1: their child in the summer camp.
- 17:55Speaker 12: Sandusky had a knack for picking out unsophisticated, uncultured people,
- 18:01Speaker 12: and he would also garner the sympathy, to respect and
- 18:04Speaker 12: the admiration of their parents, so nobody had a problem
- 18:07Speaker 12: with him being a part of their lives. But unbeknownst
- 18:10Speaker 12: to everybody, in a dark sort of hinter grund, as
- 18:13Speaker 12: we say, he was actually laying hands on these kids.
- 18:17Speaker 12: He had abnormal sexual perversions, and nobody really knew it
- 18:21Speaker 12: was going on. And these kids had a work sense
- 18:24Speaker 12: of achievement and accomplishment and kind of went along with it,
- 18:28Speaker 12: to get along, if you will. And it wasn't until
- 18:31Speaker 12: one kid cried foul and said, no, take your hands
- 18:33Speaker 12: off me that the story blew wide open. So it
- 18:36Speaker 12: takes one kid for this whole thing to really come
- 18:39Speaker 12: to a halt, and fortunately there was a kid that
- 18:42Speaker 12: was courageous enough to come forward, and now Sanduski will
- 18:46Speaker 12: spend the rest of his life in prison.
- 18:48Speaker 6: I hope you're sitting down.
- 18:49Speaker 1: He served in this capacity twenty two years as the
- 18:54Speaker 1: defensive coordinator twenty two years coach at Penn State. He
- 19:02Speaker 1: received the Assistant Coach of the Year twice. He authored
- 19:07Speaker 1: multiple books related to his football coaching experiences. He founded
- 19:12Speaker 1: this nonprofit, the Second Mile, for Pennsylvania's underprivileged children, and
- 19:19Speaker 1: after he retired from Penn State, he continued working with Second.
- 19:24Speaker 6: Mile, on and on and on.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It took a grand jury, a secret grand jury, two
- 19:30Speaker 1: years to investigate him. He was charged with fifty two
- 19:33Speaker 1: counts of sex abuse over fifteen years.
- 19:37Speaker 6: That we know of.
- 19:39Speaker 1: The children were all afraid to come forward, much like
- 19:44Speaker 1: this victim listen.
- 19:46Speaker 11: I was kind of thinking that he was going to
- 19:48Speaker 11: get off scott free with this, and then I'm just
- 19:50Speaker 11: going to be another kid in the front page of
- 19:52Speaker 11: the newspaper that has a big liar stamped across his forehead.
- 19:55Speaker 1: From our friends at ABC twenty twenty and here James
- 20:00Speaker 1: as if history is repeating itself again to doctor Michelle
- 20:06Speaker 1: Dupree joining me, a renowned forensic pathologists, medical examiner, former
- 20:11Speaker 1: detective at Lexington County Sheriff's Department, author of a brand
- 20:14Speaker 1: new book, Money, Mischief and Murder the Murdock Dynasty the
- 20:18Speaker 1: rest of the story, but from my purposes. She is
- 20:21Speaker 1: also the author of the Homicide Investigation Field Guide and
- 20:25Speaker 1: the Child Abuse Investigation Field Guide. I'm curious because we
- 20:32Speaker 1: see here, doctor Dupree, according to investigative reports, that we've
- 20:37Speaker 1: obtained the coach, and I'm saying that in quotes, the
- 20:44Speaker 1: illegal alien coach first of all be friend of the
- 20:47Speaker 1: little boy at the Whitsid Park complex, offering free soccer lessons.
- 20:53Speaker 6: But then the lure went further.
- 20:57Speaker 1: He lured the little boy by saying he had odd
- 21:01Speaker 1: jobs for him at his place and that he would
- 21:04Speaker 1: pay him. So I understanding he was going to work
- 21:08Speaker 1: on making jerseys or monogramming jerseys, or something to do
- 21:12Speaker 1: with the soccer jerseys. So now you've got a little
- 21:16Speaker 1: boy just turned thirteen, alone on transit, going two hours
- 21:23Speaker 1: away from home to be alone with a coach at
- 21:27Speaker 1: his house quote making jerseys crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 21:42Speaker 1: The soccer coach. Garcia Akino pled not guilty to the
- 21:46Speaker 1: new charges, the new charges being eight counts of sodomy
- 21:51Speaker 1: with a minor under sixteen and one count of oral
- 21:56Speaker 1: copulation with a minor. This is according to the La
- 21:59Speaker 1: County Deputy District Attorney. The parents had no idea what
- 22:05Speaker 1: was happening to their son. The mo the modus operandi,
- 22:11Speaker 1: the method of operation. You get the child alone, whether
- 22:16Speaker 1: you like I was talking to Sierra VanderBrug earlier, whether
- 22:20Speaker 1: you get them at you in your vehicle, your truck,
- 22:22Speaker 1: your camper, whether you lure them to your home. You
- 22:26Speaker 1: get the child alone. And that is where everything goes sideways.
- 22:31Speaker 1: How many cases have you seen homicide cases where the
- 22:35Speaker 1: child is lured away.
- 22:36Speaker 13: Nancy, this is a common scenario. This is this is
- 22:39Speaker 13: exactly how they operate. They initially meet the child. They're
- 22:43Speaker 13: very personable. Most of these people are personable. They are
- 22:47Speaker 13: liked by the kids, they're liked by the families. They
- 22:50Speaker 13: gain their trust, and once they gain that trust, it's
- 22:53Speaker 13: a little bit out of time. They continue to befriend them,
- 22:56Speaker 13: continue to offer them a carot if you will, and
- 23:00Speaker 13: a bigger reward for something. And children are trusting, you know,
- 23:04Speaker 13: children don't think like adults. In most cases, they trust
- 23:07Speaker 13: adults and oftentimes they won't tell if something is a
- 23:10Speaker 13: little bit suspicious because they don't know. And also this
- 23:14Speaker 13: is an adult. They wonder when anybody really believe me
- 23:17Speaker 13: or not. So this is not uncommon. This is their
- 23:19Speaker 13: method of operation, and unfortunately it works way too many times.
- 23:24Speaker 6: Don't do do free. I never cried, I never got sick.
- 23:30Speaker 1: I never vomited, nothing at the site of a dead
- 23:34Speaker 1: body or on a homicide scene ever.
- 23:37Speaker 6: But there was one time I thought I was going
- 23:40Speaker 6: to throw up.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I didn't, and it was when a child was on
- 23:44Speaker 1: the autopsy table. When you see children on the autopsy
- 23:50Speaker 1: table over and over and over, it's like, I know
- 23:55Speaker 1: right now, I'm preaching to the choir, but parents don't
- 23:59Speaker 1: get I mean, my parents didn't get it. I was
- 24:05Speaker 1: left with adults and supervised that we really didn't know,
- 24:08Speaker 1: and through the grace of God, nothing happened to me
- 24:10Speaker 1: or my brother or sister. But parents are trusting, especially
- 24:15Speaker 1: when the molester is clothed with clothed with the indisha
- 24:20Speaker 1: of reliability. He's wearing a soccer uniform. You've got to
- 24:23Speaker 1: see pictures of him with teams like we're showing you.
- 24:27Speaker 1: But he was not with a school. He was not sanctioned,
- 24:30Speaker 1: nothing like that. And I mean, do you ever get weary,
- 24:35Speaker 1: doctor Duprees seeing one child on the autopsy table after
- 24:39Speaker 1: the next.
- 24:40Speaker 13: All the time.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Nancy.
- 24:41Speaker 13: It's one of the worst cases a medical examiner could
- 24:43Speaker 13: ever have. Children and elderly. You know, they're supposed to
- 24:46Speaker 13: be protected, they're trusting, and they should be. But it
- 24:50Speaker 13: doesn't often work out well. And this is one of
- 24:52Speaker 13: the reasons why. And yes, it gets to me and
- 24:54Speaker 13: it gets to others every single time. This should not
- 24:58Speaker 13: be happening to our kids.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Oscar's family is worried, sick after more than a day
- 25:04Speaker 2: with no sign of their thirteen year old son and
- 25:06Speaker 2: soccer student. The boys soccer coach promises he dropped the
- 25:10Speaker 2: teen off, but Oscar is nowhere to be found. Then
- 25:13Speaker 2: a mysterious text from Oscar's phone claiming the thirteen year
- 25:17Speaker 2: old is at a party with friends joining me.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Now is Anna sonoda clinical social worker who focuses on
- 25:28Speaker 1: forensic issues like this, and she's the author of Duck
- 25:32Speaker 1: Duck Groom. Anna, this is the textbook the seminal example
- 25:39Speaker 1: of luring. You heard me lay out first. He was
- 25:43Speaker 1: approached at a Whitst soccer complex which is huge, and says, hey,
- 25:49Speaker 1: free one on one coaching for soccer because you're so amazing.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Oscar just turn thirteen. Then he lures him to his house.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Then he won't respond appropriately to the family. Now we're
- 26:02Speaker 1: hearing about a text, a text from a little Oscar
- 26:05Speaker 1: that says he was going to a party with friends.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a cold day in hgublel
- 26:11Speaker 1: that my children, who are now seventeen, would.
- 26:14Speaker 6: Just announced they were going to a party with friends.
- 26:17Speaker 6: That doesn't happen.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I mean, I've got to know where are you going
- 26:22Speaker 1: with who, who's driving?
- 26:24Speaker 6: When you're going to be home, what's the location? Have fun?
- 26:28Speaker 14: Right?
- 26:29Speaker 1: So you know, Anna, I strongly believe that the coach
- 26:35Speaker 1: was texting as.
- 26:37Speaker 6: If he was Oscar the little boy.
- 26:40Speaker 14: Absolutely. We have several examples here of a grooming situation.
- 26:45Speaker 14: What does that mean? What does that word grooming mean?
- 26:48Speaker 14: We've said it a few times already this show. Grooming
- 26:52Speaker 14: is a perverse form of courtship. It convinces not only children,
- 26:56Speaker 14: but it convinces their caregivers that they are trustworthy, that
- 27:00Speaker 14: they're reliable, and that they're caring. This coach exploited his
- 27:04Speaker 14: role as a sports youth individual in order to show
- 27:12Speaker 14: the parents and the kids, hey, you can trust me.
- 27:16Speaker 14: I want what's best for you, and to single that
- 27:19Speaker 14: child out as special and unique is classic favoritism that
- 27:24Speaker 14: we see in the stages towards the grooming process for
- 27:28Speaker 14: sexual exploitation and in this horrific case, ultimately murder.
- 27:33Speaker 1: And of course, at this juncture, the family doesn't know
- 27:35Speaker 1: what to believe, even that they get this mystery text
- 27:37Speaker 1: of a little boy claiming, Hey, I'm going to a party.
- 27:40Speaker 6: What party? Why an't heard anything about a party? Well?
- 27:43Speaker 6: The search is now on for Little Oscar.
- 27:46Speaker 2: A desperate joint agency search for Oscar begins. Both the
- 27:49Speaker 2: LAPD and LA County Sheriff's Office scoured North Hollywood for
- 27:53Speaker 2: the boy. Their only lead was that he was last
- 27:55Speaker 2: seen on his way to Lancaster on the metrolink.
- 27:58Speaker 1: A massive search is on both LAPD and the LA
- 28:02Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office looking for a Little Oscar.
- 28:06Speaker 6: Listen.
- 28:06Speaker 2: On the fourth day of the investigation, a teen boy's
- 28:09Speaker 2: body is found over seventy miles away, dumped in a
- 28:11Speaker 2: wooded area off a road near Leo Carrillo State Beach.
- 28:15Speaker 2: The remains are confirmed to be those of thirteen year
- 28:17Speaker 2: old Oscar Omar Hernandez.
- 28:21Speaker 6: I can't believe my son is dead.
- 28:25Speaker 1: That is from our friends at Katla five, and very
- 28:29Speaker 1: quickly after the body is discovered, the coach is tracked down.
- 28:34Speaker 15: Why couldn't at least do anything about my case? And
- 28:39Speaker 15: they just left it open and then they have to
- 28:42Speaker 15: get to a teenage boy getting killed.
- 28:45Speaker 4: The same day OS's body is discovered, his soccer coach,
- 28:48Speaker 4: forty three year old Mario Garcia Akino, is arrested, but
- 28:52Speaker 4: not in connection to Oscar. Garcia Akino is accused of
- 28:55Speaker 4: attempting to molest a sixteen year old boy. The teen
- 28:58Speaker 4: also spent the night in heelt extremely sleepy after drinking
- 29:02Speaker 4: an orange juice Garcia Akino offered him. He told police
- 29:05Speaker 4: Garcia Akino twice tried to pull down his pants, but
- 29:08Speaker 4: he fought garcia Akino off and called nine one one.
- 29:11Speaker 4: The incident occurred more than a year ago, in February
- 29:14Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Oscar's family hasn't seen the boy in over twenty four
- 29:18Speaker 2: hours after he was expected home Saturday morning. A text
- 29:22Speaker 2: from his phone claims Oscar is at a party with friends,
- 29:24Speaker 2: but Oscar's friends don't have any knowledge of a party.
- 29:27Speaker 2: The thirteen year old has reported missing, and an intense
- 29:30Speaker 2: search is launched for the boy.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Karen Stark, don't you see the significance of this mysterious
- 29:37Speaker 1: text from the little boys and I'm going to a party?
- 29:40Speaker 6: And then can't you just say the mom and the
- 29:42Speaker 6: brother calling hey what party?
- 29:43Speaker 1: Hey?
- 29:43Speaker 6: What party to all the friends and they know nothing
- 29:46Speaker 6: about it.
- 29:47Speaker 1: This means I believe that the coach was using the
- 29:52Speaker 1: little boy's phone to text as if he's Oscar. That's
- 29:56Speaker 1: a whole nother level of premeditation.
- 29:58Speaker 9: And we're familiar with that, Nancy, remember Brian Laundry, right,
- 30:02Speaker 9: And he took the phone and he made the mistake
- 30:05Speaker 9: of calling the grand by the name. People do that,
- 30:09Speaker 9: Murderers do that. They take advantage of whatever they can.
- 30:13Speaker 9: I'm not the least bit surprised, because this guy needs
- 30:17Speaker 9: to cover up. He's desperate to make sure that nobody
- 30:21Speaker 9: finds out what he did. And I'm not surprised to
- 30:24Speaker 9: happen because over time, in this kind of situation, the
- 30:27Speaker 9: person gets bolder and bolder and bolder, and.
- 30:31Speaker 6: That's exactly what happened here. Now you hear Philip D.
- 30:35Speaker 6: Bay claiming that, oh, it was just a delay.
- 30:39Speaker 1: B S a delay that cost Oscar his life. Listened
- 30:44Speaker 1: to one of the first alleged victims.
- 30:47Speaker 15: I go to sleep, I see him like trying to
- 30:51Speaker 15: pull down my shorts and I woke up. I punsed
- 30:54Speaker 15: him and he told me it was all the joe.
- 30:57Speaker 10: In February of twenty twenty four, Garcia Aquino befriended a
- 31:02Speaker 10: Silmar family who allowed their juvenile son to stay with
- 31:06Speaker 10: him at his residence in Palmdale. The family subsequently filed
- 31:12Speaker 10: a criminal report with the Palmdale Sheriff's station alleging sexual
- 31:17Speaker 10: abuse of their child.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Moses Caristilla, I think my head's gonna blow off. That
- 31:22Speaker 1: originally was from our friends at NBC LA.
- 31:25Speaker 6: Now you heard.
- 31:26Speaker 1: But I don't know what dog he's got in the
- 31:28Speaker 1: fight with skin in the game, because normally he is
- 31:31Speaker 1: on LA law enforcement like a cheap suit. But today
- 31:35Speaker 1: when it works in the defense's favor, it's like, oh,
- 31:38Speaker 1: it was just a mistake.
- 31:40Speaker 6: Did you hear the first boy?
- 31:42Speaker 1: Well, probably not the first one of the prior molestation victims.
- 31:46Speaker 1: I go to sleep, I see him trying to pull
- 31:49Speaker 1: down my shorts.
- 31:49Speaker 6: I woke up. I punched him and he told me
- 31:52Speaker 6: it was a joke.
- 31:53Speaker 8: Absolutely, As a sex time flow detective, I was for
- 31:55Speaker 8: twenty years with LAPD.
- 31:57Speaker 6: This breaks my heart.
- 31:58Speaker 8: We did drop the ball on this poor victim. The
- 32:02Speaker 8: case was submitted to the d's office electronically and the
- 32:04Speaker 8: satinder queue untouched for months. That's what sources familiar with
- 32:10Speaker 8: the investigation have told me. And when the investigators called
- 32:12Speaker 8: the DEA's office to follow up, they realized that nobody
- 32:16Speaker 8: had looked at this case for a long time. And
- 32:18Speaker 8: that's where we dropped the ball.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I don't like what you just said, Caristillo,
- 32:23Speaker 1: drop the ball.
- 32:24Speaker 6: That's like, oops, I dropped the ball.
- 32:28Speaker 1: This is abandoned and malignant heart dropped the ball. Oscar
- 32:35Speaker 1: is dead because somebody dropped the ball.
- 32:38Speaker 6: An a Sonota. That's not all listen.
- 32:42Speaker 10: Detectives learned that there was another unrelated child sexual abuse
- 32:47Speaker 10: case being handled by the Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill
- 32:51Speaker 10: Division involving Garcia Aquino.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, a new victim added to
- 33:09Speaker 1: the counts against a youth soccer coach. Can you ever
- 33:12Speaker 1: be too careful when you have your children under the
- 33:17Speaker 1: supervision of another adult, you believe they're trustworthy. They may
- 33:24Speaker 1: be with the youth soccer league, they may be a
- 33:26Speaker 1: school teacher, a piano teacher.
- 33:29Speaker 6: But do you ever really know?
- 33:31Speaker 1: It's enough to keep you up half the night worried.
- 33:35Speaker 1: This boy, Oscar Omar Hernandez dead killed during a so
- 33:43Speaker 1: called lewd act. The boy known as Omar played for
- 33:48Speaker 1: the Hurricane Valley Boys soccer club Garcia Ichino.
- 33:53Speaker 6: His coach Sierra.
- 33:55Speaker 1: How many at this juncture, how many young boy vic
- 34:00Speaker 1: thames do we know of?
- 34:02Speaker 6: At this point?
- 34:02Speaker 7: We know that there were two charges filed against Garcia
- 34:06Speaker 7: a Keno now in relation to previous sex abuse cases,
- 34:10Speaker 7: one from twenty twenty two and one from twenty twenty four.
- 34:13Speaker 7: But during this press conference we did hear Sheriff Robert
- 34:17Speaker 7: Luna emphasize that police and sheriff department believe that there
- 34:22Speaker 7: may be more victims. They are searching for more victims.
- 34:24Speaker 7: Anyone with information or who believes they've been a victim
- 34:27Speaker 7: of Garcia a Quino they ask contact them and.
- 34:30Speaker 14: That they were looking at everything.
- 34:32Speaker 7: Authorities believe there may be more assault victims or missing
- 34:34Speaker 7: persons connected to garcia Qino. They are open, they are
- 34:37Speaker 7: looking for both.
- 34:38Speaker 6: Okay, everybody sit down. You may need to lay down
- 34:40Speaker 6: for this too. Listen to the La County Sheriff Robert Lana.
- 34:43Speaker 10: Garcia Quino was a youth travel soccer coach with the
- 34:48Speaker 10: Hurricane Valley Boys Soccer Club in the Silmar area, working
- 34:53Speaker 10: with different age divisions. He had no reported criminal history
- 34:59Speaker 10: byes and.
- 35:00Speaker 1: You know, Sheriff Lena, I like you, and I'm anything
- 35:02Speaker 1: against you, But why did you just say that he
- 35:05Speaker 1: had no reported criminal history? Did you not just hear
- 35:10Speaker 1: the boy victim that happened over a year ago and
- 35:14Speaker 1: nothing was done. So while there's not a conviction, there
- 35:20Speaker 1: is an arrest, there is an allegation. Let me rephrase,
- 35:26Speaker 1: feling the assault with an intent to commit a Leude
- 35:28Speaker 1: Act twenty twenty two felon the assault with intent to
- 35:31Speaker 1: commit rape Lude act on a child aged fourteen or fifteen.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Those are the ones that we have been able to
- 35:39Speaker 1: dig up. How many more are out there? I mean,
- 35:43Speaker 1: you know, Moses Castillo, isn't it true? Step statistically, when
- 35:48Speaker 1: a child molester is caught once that there are dozens
- 35:53Speaker 1: of prior undetected child molestations.
- 35:56Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 35:56Speaker 8: That's why the message here today is if you're out
- 35:58Speaker 8: there and you're a victim of this, this evil monster,
- 36:01Speaker 8: please come forward. It was never your fault and I
- 36:04Speaker 8: want you to know that one hundred percent, and you
- 36:07Speaker 8: have the support of the victim services that are going
- 36:10Speaker 8: to be coming for you and available to you.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Nothing was done on prior claims of child molestation against
- 36:17Speaker 1: the so called traveling coach. Nothing was done, The files
- 36:21Speaker 1: gathered dust, and now a little boy is dead and his.
- 36:26Speaker 6: Body thrown on the side of the road.
- 36:29Speaker 3: Listen, we don't have the actual details of how he
- 36:32Speaker 3: was killed at this exact moment, nor do we have
- 36:36Speaker 3: all the reports that will come in when the coroner produces.
- 36:40Speaker 2: His They've already performed an autopsy and it turned out
- 36:44Speaker 2: there was a lot of alcohol in his urine.
- 36:46Speaker 15: This is a statement.
- 36:47Speaker 2: That's the only thing left to investigate is whether he.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Was sexually imputed things and my boys drink and I'm
- 36:53Speaker 1: sure of that.
- 36:55Speaker 6: Why because he didn't resist. Guys.
- 36:58Speaker 1: That is from our friends at University thirty four LA.
- 37:03Speaker 1: It's almost more than I can take in what we
- 37:07Speaker 1: are hearing. Doctor Michelle Duprey the boy found on the
- 37:10Speaker 1: side of the road like he's trash. I imagine days
- 37:14Speaker 1: had passed. Are we going to be able to get
- 37:16Speaker 1: a CEOD cause of death and we'll be able to
- 37:19Speaker 1: Will we be able to tell had the.
- 37:21Speaker 13: Boy been molested? Yes, Nancy, I think we will. We
- 37:24Speaker 13: can often tell so much even though time has passed,
- 37:26Speaker 13: and in this case, it's likely that we did find
- 37:30Speaker 13: alcohol in the blood. But we're also probably going to
- 37:34Speaker 13: be able to tell that he may have been strangled
- 37:36Speaker 13: or certainly if there was any type of blunt force trauma,
- 37:39Speaker 13: which is typical in cases like this, especially the strangulation.
- 37:42Speaker 1: So how long will alcohol still be in the victim's system.
- 37:45Speaker 6: It can be in there for days, Nancy.
- 37:47Speaker 13: If we can't get it in the blood, we can
- 37:49Speaker 13: take it from the vitreous, which is an excellent long
- 37:52Speaker 13: term way to get this kind of toxicology report. Vitreous
- 37:56Speaker 13: is what vitrius is, the fluid inside the eyeballs. Well protected,
- 38:00Speaker 13: it gives us a very good pre mortem indication of
- 38:04Speaker 13: many things like electrolytes or alcohol content.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Okay, let me just warn the LA District attorney do
- 38:10Speaker 1: not jump on the bandwagon.
- 38:13Speaker 6: But apparently he is listen, if.
- 38:16Speaker 9: He had been arrested on that earlier alleged defense, he
- 38:19Speaker 9: wouldn't have been on the streets, and he certainly would
- 38:21Speaker 9: not be working as a coach.
- 38:23Speaker 3: In order to develop the evidence for any particular offense,
- 38:27Speaker 3: as we will be providing in court, it doesn't happen overnight.
- 38:30Speaker 3: So even though that original offense occurred back in February
- 38:34Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four, that investigated started approximately within I
- 38:40Speaker 3: forgot within weeks of that particular investigation. But you have
- 38:44Speaker 3: to actually go through all the different parts of an
- 38:47Speaker 3: investigation before you ever get to it.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Why would the government, knowing he had such an accusation,
- 38:54Speaker 4: allow him to be free?
- 38:57Speaker 6: Yeah? Why would they?
- 39:00Speaker 1: Our friends at KTLA five, you know as much tap
- 39:03Speaker 1: dancing as the DA's doing.
- 39:04Speaker 6: You need to just admit the truth.
- 39:07Speaker 1: There's no way to fix this now. They dropped the ball.
- 39:11Speaker 1: As Castillo said earlier, Why is it that we so
- 39:15Speaker 1: willingly trust sports coaches named Larry Nasser ringing a bell?
- 39:20Speaker 6: I wish I never heard it, sir.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Before you did, and touching these victims in all of
- 39:25Speaker 1: these accounts was unglogged? Is that correct?
- 39:29Speaker 11: Yes?
- 39:30Speaker 6: You fear it and it was not from any medical purpose.
- 39:33Speaker 14: Is that correct?
- 39:36Speaker 7: It was for your own purpose?
- 39:37Speaker 14: Is that correct?
- 39:39Speaker 11: Yes?
- 39:39Speaker 1: I don't want another young gymnast, Olympic athlete, or any
- 39:43Speaker 1: individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of
- 39:47Speaker 1: others have endured. One of my heroes right there, Simone Biles.
- 39:51Speaker 1: That was from our friends at NBC.
- 39:53Speaker 6: Just think about it.
- 39:54Speaker 1: At that elite level, an Olympic coach molesting scores of
- 40:03Speaker 1: young girls, some as young as thirteen. I can hardly
- 40:06Speaker 1: stand to look at him. He makes me sick just
- 40:09Speaker 1: to look at him. Girls representing our country. This little
- 40:16Speaker 1: boy is dead, his body thrown on the side of
- 40:23Speaker 1: the road and behind bars. The description by Homeland Security
- 40:28Speaker 1: is a depraved illegal alien. There's no telling how many
- 40:40Speaker 1: little boys were molested by him, and he had a
- 40:45Speaker 1: a sonoda unfettered access to them.
- 40:49Speaker 14: Absolutely, predators run on gas, grooming access, and space. Coaches,
- 40:55Speaker 14: especially travel coaches, have an exceptional amount of gas. They
- 41:01Speaker 14: get time away with the child, they built trust with
- 41:03Speaker 14: the parents and Nancy. Parents are good parents, are doing
- 41:07Speaker 14: what they can. This family had high hopes for what
- 41:11Speaker 14: this sports coach was going to be able to do
- 41:13Speaker 14: for their son. How many countless families are in the
- 41:16Speaker 14: same position, and predators, by golly, they know it and
- 41:20Speaker 14: they exploit that every time.
- 41:22Speaker 1: You know, Karen Stark, I'm not sure if I told
- 41:25Speaker 1: you about this, but I remember a Methodist lay leader
- 41:29Speaker 1: who was a college professor came and spoke at our
- 41:32Speaker 1: church and promised to coach me free, because you know,
- 41:37Speaker 1: we were broke Spanish private Spanish coaching, and my parents
- 41:44Speaker 1: let me, along with my sister go to this guy's
- 41:50Speaker 1: home with his family. There was an hour away, and
- 41:55Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. My parents were so happy that
- 41:59Speaker 1: I I could get this private coaching in Spanish.
- 42:05Speaker 6: It was taking Spanish at school. This is like that point.
- 42:09Speaker 6: It was in the.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Fifth grade, and they thought, oh, something we can't afford
- 42:13Speaker 1: that we can give her. So it's not the parent's fault.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I don't want to portrayed that way.
- 42:21Speaker 9: It's not the parent's fault, Nancy. That's so correct, because
- 42:25Speaker 9: we're talking about master manipulators. They are charming. Their exterior
- 42:32Speaker 9: is trusting. They act like you can trust them with
- 42:35Speaker 9: your children, and parents are looking for help. They're in
- 42:39Speaker 9: a position of authority in that way, and you can't
- 42:43Speaker 9: count on the children. Unfortunately, parents believe that maybe their
- 42:47Speaker 9: children would tell them that something was wrong, but the
- 42:50Speaker 9: children are afraid. They don't understand, they don't know how
- 42:54Speaker 9: to come forward, they don't even have the words for
- 42:56Speaker 9: it developmentally. So it is a terrible, really, a terrible
- 43:02Speaker 9: problem that parents need to be aware of and investigate
- 43:06Speaker 9: who's with your children beforehand.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Guys, let me announce that there is a gofund me
- 43:11Speaker 1: for Oscar Hernandez's family. They're just trying to get money
- 43:16Speaker 1: to pay off the funeral. It's at GoFundMe dot com
- 43:20Speaker 1: Oscar Omar Hernandez. Right now, the state is building its case,
- 43:27Speaker 1: and when I say building its case, I mean looking
- 43:31Speaker 1: for other child victims.
- 43:34Speaker 6: I believe that these other.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Child victims will testify in a court of law under
- 43:42Speaker 1: the theory of similar transactions to bolster the state's case
- 43:48Speaker 1: and the murder of little Oscar. The state is also
- 43:53Speaker 1: looking for these victims and looking for witnesses to possibly
- 43:58Speaker 1: seeing the coach with little Oscar. If you know or
- 44:04Speaker 1: think you know anything about this case, please dial eight
- 44:08Speaker 1: one eight three seven four five four one five or
- 44:15Speaker 1: toll free eight hundred two two two eight four seven
- 44:20Speaker 1: seven repeat eight hundred two two two eight four seven seven.
- 44:26Speaker 1: I believe that's the number I would use, because the
- 44:28Speaker 1: States already dropped the ball on the case already, I
- 44:32Speaker 1: would go with crime stoppers. Omar had just turned thirteen,
- 44:37Speaker 1: last seen traveling to the Antelope Valley to help the
- 44:41Speaker 1: coach make soccer jerseys. His body was found in a
- 44:45Speaker 1: ditch in Matura County. We wait as justice unfalse. Nancy
