Cops Discover An Evil Husbands House Of Horrors · The conspiracy

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Name one one.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: What's your emergency. Hey, I'm a bus driver and one
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: of my students just passed me a note that says
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: his mother needs help and that his dad is hurting her. Okay,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: do you have an address? Yeah? They live on as
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the first house when you turn into the neighborhood.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, officers are being dispatched. Now, can you stay with
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: the child until law enforcement arrives.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm parked outside the neighborhood. I'll stay here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: This is what the last Crusis Police Department were informed
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: of on April twenty third, twenty twenty one. Just the
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: night before, Veronica had endured twelve hours of what could
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: only be described as a living hell, all because of
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: her boyfriend, Eric Alverado. At this point, fearing for her
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: and her children's life, the mean thing on her mind
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: was to call the police, but Eric had confiscated her
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: phone and refused to let her leave his sight. However,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Eric and Veronica's son still had to go to school.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: This gave Veronica an idea, an idea that would save
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: her and her family's life.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Can you explain me what's going on today?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: He was taking me along and with the pillows he
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: picked me up. He got my head against the cabinet
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and then he sets me on top of here, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: then my kids were screaming and crying, and he said
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: that he was either I die or he's going to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: have a two guys.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Veronica is clearly distressed and just thankful that the cops
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: are here to save her. In fear of her life,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: she wrote a note behind Eric's back saying that she
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: was in danger and to call nine one one. She
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: passed this note to her kids and hope someone from
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: their school would call the police. The note was given
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to a bus driver who immediately called the Las Crusis
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Police Department. The cops need to know exactly what happened.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Veronica just told them that Eric would have a shootout
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: with the cops if they came. So they know they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: dealing with someone either dangerous or delusional. Something they would
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: quickly find out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Are you trying to get away from him or what happened?
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: I just started doing whatever he has would even tell
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: me to follow him to the bathroom when he needed
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the bathroom.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Then't make me pick up the seat for him, he said,
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: And then I was just.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Like what neither?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And then but it was kind for my mom, because
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I really think I would do that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: She didn't try to get out, and he didn't forcefully
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: try to keep it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I've tried before, and it never works. To stay quietly
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: on the barkeep I rolled, start to try to get away,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: and he would just put me closer and hurt me. Okay,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: but I don't have I didn't have a phone to coinness,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: so he had it take.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the marks on your face is that from
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: him or okay?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Listen to exactly what Veronica is saying. It's obvious that
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: this isn't just a one time thing. She's using phrases
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: like I've tried before and it never works, implying that
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: she'd almost given up trying to escape him. This is
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: known as learned helplessness, a condition where an abused person
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: starts to believe that they're powerless to save themselves because
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: of the repeated abuse and perceived lack of control. Unfortunately,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: it's more common than you might think. On average, it
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: takes seven tries for a victim to escape their abuser,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and every single one of these failed attempts would start
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to make them feel more and more powerless, as though
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: control of their life is slowly slipping away. Given that
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Veronica has a five year old son with Eric, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: abuse might have been going on for years, with her
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: essentially resigning her fate to his violence and manipulation. If
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: that's the case, then her son's actions should be even
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: more celebrated, finally freeing his own mother from a relentless
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: cycle of abuse.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Can you explain to me what happened? First? Yesterday?
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I think he was just more pressure because he was
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: really with the kids, and then started to get upset
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: with me. Got upset because I didn't cook grab himself
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: something to eat, and he was to gage and give
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: it to him, but.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: It's going to have the baby in the bed and
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: write it down. She was getting upset every time he
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: walked out, okay, And then so I came in here
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: a mad talking shit and I was right there right
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: the microwaves and surrounded to close it because he.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Had his fooling that I was going to heat it up, and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: He toled me to shut up, and then he got
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: up and plumbing from my hair and pushed my head
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: with the cabinet in my head like when I got
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: and it's like slow way right here, when I got
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: and married my eye brought here right here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Veronica continued to tell the officer about that night's abuse,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: how he choked her, threw her around, and grabbed hold
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of her so hard that she couldn't force his hand
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: away to save herself.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: I was holding onto his arm, but he lifted me
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: up because he's so strong.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He lifted me up, and he slammed me on the counter.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: My kids are crying at the same time as my
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: ound's son came out.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: What did you feel when you're.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Like I'm like trying to fight to
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: get it off, and all of a sudden, like my
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: body just started feeling weak.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I just like I felt like I was
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: underwater and I couldn't breathe when I was just like
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: trying to calm him down.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Oh baby, I love you saw this is but I
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: was just like, because I already know how he is.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Directly after being choked almost to death, she's still pleading
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: with him and telling him that she loves him. Obviously,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: it can't be discounted that this was just a knack
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: to get him to stop, but again, this is a
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: very common reaction. Eric has likely used either love bombing
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: or intermittent reinforcement to manipulate Veronica. Love bombing involves initially
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: showering the victim with affection and attention, forming attachment quickly,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and intermittent reinforcement involves quickly alternating between kindness and cruelty.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Both of these create a powerful emotional bond and dependency
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: on the abuser, making it much harder to leave, despite
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: making her feel like this, are you scared of die?
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Peus? Becausely, how does it feel? Because you almost died?
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was just like.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Very just hurt and think then why why are you
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: scared to die?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Are they?
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: And then I said, because my kids?
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: But the last little piece of information the cops get
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: might just be the most important one and unravel why
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: to Night's abuse got so out of hands?
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: Depression and agin to kid medications a color depression and.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It takes bolar.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so the only thing that set him off was
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: the whole him not having food ready and all that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: No, I was a kid to yelling at my son
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and if anything that someone said, it's really really upset.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Apparently Eric suffers from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar. He's
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: supposed to take a litany of meds to keep him stable,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: but that night he hadn't taken any of them. Of course,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: this isn't an excuse for his behavior, nor is it
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to be assumed that many bipolar people would ever act
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: in this manner, but it could be a possible explanation
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: for the severe and continued abuse.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: How long have you been with him?
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: All for seven years.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: There's a time when he saved.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Me to you, but I didn't hurt, so you never
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: about that because he always.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: Me just like I'm sorry this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Has he ever been trying doy domestic or anything like that?
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: He has in Las Cruses or New Mexico?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Is what's his.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Ex girlfriend with you?
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah? A lot of times I dropped the charges because.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I feel bad.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Eric is clearly dangerous and needs to be locked up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: But that all depends on if Veronica is going to
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: press charges this time or let herself be manipulated out
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: of it again. But before she can even make that decision,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the other cop comes into the room and lets them
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: know that they need EMT s on the scene.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Immediately when you're standing up and you started start was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: shown he was making him do that? Is that normal course?
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Like that when you're really upset, is not active in
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: any way if he did that, and sometimes like he'll
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: fall on me and I can't be killed.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so padic attacks are normal.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: It seems as though has had a panic attack and
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: needs help from a medic. The thing is, the cops
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: can't be sure if this is a genuine reaction or
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: another way to try and guilt and manipulate Veronica. But
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: either way, they get the fire department on the scene
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to check him out.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: He's oh, he's wanting to go away eating.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: We're trying to just take a book pressure.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That's about it. His action is good right now.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It's at ninety heart rates five ghoule elevated at ninety eight.
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: But do you take do you take your medications for
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: the end of the depression? Do you take medications for
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: are you current medications?
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: So I always recommends, especially because he has like PTSD
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: five forward.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Medically, everything seems fine with Eric, but they still decide
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: to take him to the hospital temporarily at his request.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: In the meantime, Veronica is now curious about the rest
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: of the process and has made a decision on if
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: she's going to press charges.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Already finds himself out. Okay, I'm starting to remember a
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: little bit. It said, I don't think I'm gonna be
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: that long, forking drug a partner of a fucking quick So.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: I know you said you want to have a restraining order,
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: so we'll work on getting that. Usually it's gonna be
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: an emergeny emergency restraining order charges on it, So in
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: situations like this, it's it's up to the state to
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: pursue charges. So usually we go through with no matter
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: if we have If we have charges, we're gonna go
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: through the charges, whether you want to or not.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: I should first charges when I couldn't even open my eyes.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Emergency restraining orders are common in cases of domestic violence,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: especially where there's children involved. Courts are often available twenty
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: four to seven for the filing of these, and in
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: open and shut cases like these, they'll usually get approved
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: on the same day. That means that Eric physically won't
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: be allowed near Veronica, her kids, and likely their home
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: unless he goes through a rigorous legal procedure. But it
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: turns out that might not even matter, as it looks
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: like he's heading straight to jail.
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: It isn't going to be a forty four him he's gonna.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Be clear already as all as he's clearly should be fine. Man,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He's going to bring me the.
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: Hey, can I get a mister Jospero.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: From this point, the officer fills out the restreaming order
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: and takes care of some other paperwork and investigation around
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the house. But the day isn't over for Eric yet,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: far from it. He was taken to the hospital, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: as the officer figured, he was discharged almost as soon
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: as he got there. That meant that it was his
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: turn in the spotlight, and he was handed over to
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the police who were going to make sure that he
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: got exactly what he deserved.
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: Well, before you take you in, you're gonna place under arrest, Okay,
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: thee he's the one that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: We're going to take you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The charges unfortunately I don't know them.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: You are going to be sure.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Emergency or streaming order.
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: I would suggest not contacting her, writing her, going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: the house, none of that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: As the officer mentioned, the case was handed over to CID,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: or the Criminal Investigation Division in even simpler terms, the detectives.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Usually a case has passed over the CID if the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: crimes were particularly severe or if it requires these specific
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: resources or skills the CID have in this case, it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: very likely the chronic abuse and psychological manipulation that warranted
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: their intervention. As to truly unpack what happened here, it
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: would require an expert to dig deep and use their
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: skills to figure everything out. That's why less than an
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: hour after he was released from the hospital, he was
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: sat face to face with the detective. I was about
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: to grill him for his side of the story. Unfortunately,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Eric didn't exactly make that easy, and it ended with
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: him back in handcuffs and on his way to a cell.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Sure Kiss Police department. What happened last night?
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: Okay, So you're here for a reason, and I'm here
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: with you for a reason, and that's to get.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Your side story.
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: If you're gonna tell me nothing, I'm gonna go ahead
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: and leave and proceude my investigation. So right now, this
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: is your chance. But am I being charged?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: I'm not there yet, but I'm an investigation. I'm investigating you.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: Okay, I want to go.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: You're gonna take you back to the whole entitle.
• 13:24
  Speaker 12: Okay, So the last thing that I need to do
• 13:27
  Speaker 12: is get your side of the story.
• 13:28
  Speaker 11: Since you're not gonna give that to me, I'm gonna
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: go ahead and charge you with three accounts of aggravated batter
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: on a household member. Two of them are strangulation, the
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: one's gonna be selfication. For two of them me suffocation,
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: one's gonna be strangulation, batter and a household member, and also.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Information and proper stop. Three of the five are gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: be felonies. Okay, why are you feelings? What?
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: Why do you want to talk to me about it?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But like, what did I do? What did really? You
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: were there here, you weren't hair on knocking. I didn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: do nothing wrong? Okay, I do nothing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: Stay with that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I want to know what?
• 13:59
  Speaker 11: What? What the I'm not going to tell you anything.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Because you don't want to tell me to.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: As it turned out, Eric would only be charged with
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: two counts of aggravated battery of a household member, one
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: count of battery against a household member, and deprivation of property.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: And with Eric safely in coffs and in a holding cell,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: the police had only one more job to do to
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: put Veronica's mind at ease.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Well, may I speak to Veronica police.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, just real quick.
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: I wanted to let you know that I'm going to
• 14:29
  Speaker 12: gohead and charge Eric. He's going to have three felonies,
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: which is going to be aggravated battery and a household member.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Two of them are strangulation.
• 14:38
  Speaker 12: One's going to be strangulation, the other one is going
• 14:40
  Speaker 12: to be battery on a household member and the other
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: one's deprivation of property of the house. Remember, so another thing,
• 14:46
  Speaker 12: I'm asking the officer to call a sky report to
• 14:48
  Speaker 12: CYFD because of what he exposed the children to. They'll
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: probably just reach out to you. Asked to see the
• 14:55
  Speaker 12: conditions of the house, make sure that they're suitable for
• 14:56
  Speaker 12: the children.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I know, because of what happened.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: But there I.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Don't know how to say this.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I e's definitely do it, but there won't be any.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Way he can see a kid.
• 15:08
  Speaker 12: There will be, but it's got to be in different terms.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:12
  Speaker 12: The way you guys had it obviously didn't work because
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: look what he's exposing the children too.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: As of July twenty twenty four, Eric Alvarado is still
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: awaiting sentencing and is being held without bond. However, based
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: on his charges and history, it's estimated he'll likely spend
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: up to eight years behind bars with intervention and checks
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: by CPS. The children will also receive treatment and care
• 15:33
