- 1:06Speaker 1: I'm Alan Duke. Just ahead another hour of crime Stories
- 1:09Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. In this hour, Nancy looks at the
- 1:11Speaker 1: search for missing six year old Maddox Rich in North
- 1:14Speaker 1: Carolina and the Senate testimony of Dr Christine Blasi Ford,
- 1:18Speaker 1: who accuses Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
- 1:22Speaker 1: First let's hear a crucial segment of what Dr Ford
- 1:24Speaker 1: told the senators. There were four boys I remember specifically
- 1:29Speaker 1: being at the house, Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, a boy
- 1:34Speaker 1: named p J, and one other boy whose name I
- 1:37Speaker 1: cannot recall. I also remember my friend Leland attending. I
- 1:43Speaker 1: do not remember all of the details of how that
- 1:46Speaker 1: gathering came together, but like many that summer, it was
- 1:49Speaker 1: almost surely a spur of the moment gathering. I truly
- 1:53Speaker 1: wish I could be more helpful with more detailed answers
- 1:56Speaker 1: to all of the questions that have and will be
- 1:59Speaker 1: asked about how I got to the party and where
- 2:01Speaker 1: it took place and so forth. I don't have all
- 2:04Speaker 1: the answers, and I don't remember as much as I
- 2:06Speaker 1: would like to. But the details that about that night
- 2:10Speaker 1: that bring me here today are the ones I will
- 2:13Speaker 1: never forget. They have been seared into my memory and
- 2:16Speaker 1: have haunted me episodically as an adult. When I got
- 2:21Speaker 1: to the small gathering, people were drinking beer in a
- 2:25Speaker 1: small living room family room type area on the first
- 2:28Speaker 1: floor of the house. I drank one beer. Brett and
- 2:33Speaker 1: Mark were visibly drunk early in the evening. I went
- 2:38Speaker 1: up a very narrow set of stairs leading from the
- 2:41Speaker 1: living room to a second floor to use the restroom.
- 2:45Speaker 1: When I got to the top of the stairs, I
- 2:47Speaker 1: was pushed from behind into a bedroom across from the bathroom.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I couldn't see who pushed me. Brett and Mark came
- 2:56Speaker 1: into the bedroom and locked the door behind them. There
- 3:00Speaker 1: was music playing in the bedroom. It was turned up
- 3:05Speaker 1: louder by either Brett or Mark. Once we were in
- 3:07Speaker 1: the room, I was pushed onto the bed and Brett
- 3:11Speaker 1: got on top of me. He began running his hands
- 3:14Speaker 1: over my body and grinding into me. I yelled, hoping
- 3:20Speaker 1: that someone downstairs might hear me, and I tried to
- 3:23Speaker 1: get away from him, but his weight was heavy. Brett
- 3:27Speaker 1: groped me and tried to take off my clothes. He
- 3:31Speaker 1: had a hard time because he was very inebriated, and
- 3:34Speaker 1: because I was wearing a one piece bathing suit underneath
- 3:37Speaker 1: my clothing. I believed he was going to rape me.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett
- 3:46Speaker 1: put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling.
- 3:50Speaker 1: This is what terrified me the most and has had
- 3:52Speaker 1: the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard
- 3:56Speaker 1: for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was
- 3:58Speaker 1: accidentally going to kill me. Both Brett and Mark were
- 4:03Speaker 1: drunkenly laughing during the attack. They seemed to be having
- 4:07Speaker 1: a very good time. Mark seemed ambivalent, at times urging
- 4:12Speaker 1: Brett on and at times telling him to stop. A
- 4:17Speaker 1: couple of times I made a contact with Mark and
- 4:20Speaker 1: thought he might try to help me, but he did not.
- 4:24Speaker 1: During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the
- 4:27Speaker 1: bed twice while Brett was on top of me, and
- 4:32Speaker 1: the last time that he did this, we toppled over
- 4:35Speaker 1: and Brett was no longer on top of me. I
- 4:38Speaker 1: was able to get up and run out of the room.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Directly across from the bedroom was a small bathroom. I
- 4:46Speaker 1: ran inside the bathroom and locked the door. I waited
- 4:50Speaker 1: until I heard Brett and Mark leave the bedroom, laughing
- 4:53Speaker 1: and loudly walked down the narrow stairway, pinballing off the
- 4:57Speaker 1: walls on the way down. I waited, and when I
- 5:02Speaker 1: did not hear them come back up the stairs, I
- 5:04Speaker 1: left the bathroom, went down the same stair wall through
- 5:08Speaker 1: the living room, and left the house. I remember being
- 5:12Speaker 1: on the street and feeling this enormous sense of relief
- 5:15Speaker 1: that I escaped that house and that Brett and Mark
- 5:18Speaker 1: were not coming outside after me. Brett's assault on me
- 5:24Speaker 1: drastically altered my life. For a very long time, I
- 5:27Speaker 1: was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone these details.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I did not want to tell my parents that I,
- 5:35Speaker 1: at age fifteen, was in a house without any parents present,
- 5:40Speaker 1: drinking beer with boys. I convinced myself that because Brett
- 5:45Speaker 1: did not rape me, I should just move on and
- 5:48Speaker 1: just pretend that it didn't happen. Over the years, I
- 5:52Speaker 1: told very very few friends that I had this traumatic experience.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I told my husband before we were married that I
- 6:00Speaker 1: had experienced a sexual assault. I had never told the
- 6:04Speaker 1: details to anyone, the specific details until May two thousand twelve,
- 6:09Speaker 1: during a couple's counseling session. The reason this came up
- 6:13Speaker 1: in counseling is that my husband and I had completed
- 6:17Speaker 1: a very extensive, very long remodel of our home, and
- 6:22Speaker 1: I insisted on a second front door, an idea that
- 6:26Speaker 1: he and others disagreed with and could not understand. In
- 6:31Speaker 1: explaining why I wanted a second front door, I began
- 6:34Speaker 1: to describe the assault in detail. I recall saying that
- 6:39Speaker 1: the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the U. S.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Supreme Court, and spoke a bit about his background at
- 6:45Speaker 1: an elitist all boys school in beth As to Maryland.
- 6:49Speaker 1: My husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Nancy discusses the Brett Kavanaugh ca So the second half
- 6:56Speaker 1: of this hour on Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Crime
- 7:06Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. It's been torture. I'm not eating,
- 7:12Speaker 1: not sleeping. I'm just worried about getting my little boy back.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Appearing with police this afternoon at a news conference was
- 7:18Speaker 1: Ian Rich. He hasn't seen a six year old son,
- 7:21Speaker 1: Maddox since Saturday. That's when Ian and his girlfriend took Maddox,
- 7:24Speaker 1: who has autism and does not speak, to a local
- 7:27Speaker 1: park where there is a track in the lake. A
- 7:29Speaker 1: jogger passed by, and as he was jogging past us,
- 7:33Speaker 1: that's one Maddox started the jog out behind him. So, uh,
- 7:38Speaker 1: usually just giving him a little space and let him
- 7:41Speaker 1: do his thing. And once we got so far, he
- 7:43Speaker 1: took off from a running and I just never could
- 7:46Speaker 1: catch up with him. You're a girl, man, He's a
- 7:48Speaker 1: little boy. How did he outrun you? He can wrong,
- 7:52Speaker 1: he can wrong, okay, and I couldn't keep up with him,
- 7:57Speaker 1: not that fast. You are hearing our friends at CBS
- 8:00Speaker 1: News as David b Now interviewing Ian Rich, the father
- 8:06Speaker 1: now desperate who loses track of his non verbal, autistic
- 8:10Speaker 1: son there in Gastonia, North Carolina, a huge park. He
- 8:15Speaker 1: says he's overwhelmed with guilt as the search for the
- 8:19Speaker 1: six year old little boy Maddox goes on. I mean it,
- 8:22Speaker 1: see Grace, this is crime Stories. Thank you for being
- 8:24Speaker 1: with us. We are bringing you the very latest, not
- 8:27Speaker 1: only in the search for little Maddox, but the start
- 8:32Speaker 1: of the hearings in d C for the next U. S.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice. A battle rages there as well. But
- 8:38Speaker 1: right now to the search for Maddox. To Kathleen Murphy
- 8:43Speaker 1: joining us there in North Carolina, Kathleen, what's happening? There
- 8:49Speaker 1: are so many questions. So I went back and looked
- 8:51Speaker 1: at all of the reports, and I pulled up an
- 8:54Speaker 1: online satellite view of this park, and I'm at a
- 8:58Speaker 1: law that his child not being found, and who is
- 9:03Speaker 1: the person that was with this father? Why haven't we
- 9:06Speaker 1: heard from them? Are the parents separated there and divorced
- 9:11Speaker 1: because in all of the conversations I hear from the parents,
- 9:14Speaker 1: it's never we mathematics, it's always I'm mathematics. And I
- 9:19Speaker 1: just don't think there's a lot of information out there
- 9:21Speaker 1: about what's really going on. Joining me also Dr Brian Russell, lawyer, psychologist,
- 9:27Speaker 1: host of Investigation Discoveries, Fatal Vows, pathologist and medical examiner.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Dr Michelle Dupree. Dr Michelle recently publishing a book regarding
- 9:38Speaker 1: a field guide to homicide Vincent Hill with me, cop
- 9:42Speaker 1: turned private investigator, and of course Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina lawyer.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Also with me Jackie Howard and Alan Duke. To Dr
- 9:50Speaker 1: Brian Russell, I don't feel that it's right to try
- 9:54Speaker 1: and decipher what the parents are saying as to the
- 9:58Speaker 1: state of their relation ship as they're looking for their
- 10:02Speaker 1: little boy. Although Kathleen does have a point um now
- 10:06Speaker 1: that she mentions it, I think she's right way in.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Dr Brian, well, yeah, I understand exactly what you're saying,
- 10:14Speaker 1: because priority one is to find the child and get
- 10:18Speaker 1: the child back safely. That's at all possible. However, any
- 10:23Speaker 1: kind of discord between the parents is relevant to the
- 10:27Speaker 1: extent that in some cases that becomes a motive for
- 10:31Speaker 1: parental involvement in these kinds of things. Well, you're right,
- 10:35Speaker 1: you're right. As much as it's a bitter peel, I
- 10:38Speaker 1: don't like to hear it. You're right, Dr Russell, and
- 10:40Speaker 1: you're right to Kathleen Um joining me, Dr Michelle Dupre
- 10:44Speaker 1: and Vincent Hill Alan Jackie Howard to Dr Michelle Dupree,
- 10:47Speaker 1: pathologist and medical examiner and author. Maddox has been missing
- 10:52Speaker 1: since Saturday afternoon. That's six days. What does that mean, Nancy?
- 11:00Speaker 1: It means that he's going to be extremely dehydrated. People
- 11:04Speaker 1: can live without food for a much longer time than
- 11:06Speaker 1: they can water. And a child on his own, especially
- 11:08Speaker 1: a child with autism UM that may have difficulty this,
- 11:12Speaker 1: this is going to be extremely dangerous dehydration if what
- 11:16Speaker 1: happens after six days without water? What do you mean?
- 11:19Speaker 1: Dehydration is so dangerous Because of lack of water, you
- 11:23Speaker 1: don't get enough substance to the cells, Your brain will
- 11:26Speaker 1: tend to swell. Dwelling will cause you to pass out.
- 11:29Speaker 1: When you pass out again, if you're not UM, if
- 11:31Speaker 1: you don't receive water, UM and other medical attention, then
- 11:34Speaker 1: the person could actually perish amidst the backdrop of question
- 11:38Speaker 1: after question. Take a listen to Maddox's mother. I just
- 11:43Speaker 1: want to thank each and every person who has reached
- 11:46Speaker 1: out to me about Maddox wanting to help find him.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I would appreciate it if you were at the park
- 11:53Speaker 1: Saturday and saw Maddox. So please urgently, please call the tip.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I'm please continue praying for him because I just want
- 12:05Speaker 1: my baby home. Please, whatever you can do. Maddox is
- 12:11Speaker 1: my whole world and my reason from living. He's Mama's boy.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Maddox loves the park. He loves bouncy balls, and he
- 12:22Speaker 1: loves his teddy beer. His smile so contagious and his
- 12:31Speaker 1: laughter is so precious. If you think that you have
- 12:36Speaker 1: seen Maddox, please reach out to police. Thank you all
- 12:41Speaker 1: for your love and support, and I just want to
- 12:43Speaker 1: say I want my baby back in my arms. Take
- 12:49Speaker 1: a listen to this call an hour now everywhere Where's
- 12:59Speaker 1: the last place seen him in the park? The one
- 13:08Speaker 1: person says that the father was totally out of breath.
- 13:13Speaker 1: To Vincent hill Cocked and private Eye, what does that
- 13:16Speaker 1: say to you? Well, Nancy, would appear that either he
- 13:20Speaker 1: was running after Madox, like he said, or you know,
- 13:23Speaker 1: just scrambling around in this huge park to try to
- 13:26Speaker 1: find his son. But what's interesting with this nine one
- 13:29Speaker 1: one caller, Rick Fox, he did tell w s o
- 13:32Speaker 1: CTV channel nine that he really, uh, Ian really didn't
- 13:36Speaker 1: seem to be too concerned as he would be if
- 13:40Speaker 1: he had a missing child. He didn't see like he
- 13:42Speaker 1: was overly concerned that Maddox was even missing at that time.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And that's very telling, Nancy. And not only that, I'm
- 13:49Speaker 1: sure there was more than one jogger in that park.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You would assume these joggers would be coming forward saying, yes,
- 13:54Speaker 1: I was in the park, I saw this kid. I
- 13:57Speaker 1: want you to reflect on what you're saying, Vince Hill,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and what you have heard and what it means. If anything,
- 14:04Speaker 1: you're referring to a TV interview by who to whom
- 14:11Speaker 1: about what I want to be very specific about what
- 14:13Speaker 1: you heard. So Rick Fox, the the employee of the
- 14:17Speaker 1: park who called nine one, he told w s o
- 14:21Speaker 1: C TV channel nine there and I believe Gastonia that
- 14:25Speaker 1: Ian did not seem to overly concerned. He didn't seem
- 14:29Speaker 1: too stressed out as he would be if he had
- 14:32Speaker 1: a missing child. So he was kind of suggesting that
- 14:35Speaker 1: maybe ian Ian wasn't concerned that Maddox was missing at all.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And that's that's very telling for this man to say this.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Who called nine on one? And you have to question
- 14:44Speaker 1: as well, why didn't Ian at some point call nine
- 14:48Speaker 1: one one forty minutes into this? He didn't act like
- 14:53Speaker 1: a concerned parent, right, I would act on any concerned
- 14:57Speaker 1: parent would act. The mother was really frantic, and see
- 15:00Speaker 1: what she was like, hysterical And he got out of
- 15:03Speaker 1: the car and you know, of course I know wanted us,
- 15:06Speaker 1: Sir had it coming calm her. Okay, that is the
- 15:11Speaker 1: sound that Vincent Hill is referring to. And this guy
- 15:15Speaker 1: says he his name is Rick Fox, and he is
- 15:19Speaker 1: the one that you heard on the nine one one
- 15:20Speaker 1: call that afternoon after the park's office alerts nine one
- 15:25Speaker 1: one that the boy is missing. He said the dad
- 15:27Speaker 1: Ian approached him. He says, quote, he can't stop thinking
- 15:31Speaker 1: about that day. The dad approached me and said he
- 15:34Speaker 1: lost his kid. I said, when was the last time
- 15:37Speaker 1: you saw him? He said that they were coming around
- 15:40Speaker 1: the track and Maddox got away from him. The dad says,
- 15:45Speaker 1: I'd say he's been gone almost an hour. We've searched
- 15:48Speaker 1: everywhere it goes on, and he says the mom is
- 15:52Speaker 1: frantic and hysterical. She got out of the car and
- 15:55Speaker 1: one of the sheriff's deputies had to go calm her down.
- 15:58Speaker 1: As to the dad, he did not act like a
- 16:01Speaker 1: concerned parent like I would act, or any concerned parent
- 16:05Speaker 1: would act. Okay, that's the very first time I've been
- 16:10Speaker 1: on the dad's side from the get go. But Kathleen Murphy,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I've I've got to be realistic and look at this objectively.
- 16:17Speaker 1: That was the first impression of someone on the same Kathleen.
- 16:20Speaker 1: There are so many questions, and I want to go
- 16:22Speaker 1: back to this third party because if the child was
- 16:25Speaker 1: never at the park and was murdered by somebody before that,
- 16:29Speaker 1: who is this third party? Why hasn't that person spoken out?
- 16:34Speaker 1: And the behaviors of this father. I saw his interview
- 16:37Speaker 1: on the news station and there was something that concerned
- 16:42Speaker 1: to me about it, so that I went on and
- 16:43Speaker 1: did a satellite you of this park. There's a police
- 16:47Speaker 1: firing range near this park. There's a Wendy's restaurant near
- 16:50Speaker 1: this part. There are so many places where this child
- 16:53Speaker 1: would have been seen, yet nobody reports seeing this child.
- 17:04Speaker 1: If you have heard about the murder of Jessica Chambers,
- 17:07Speaker 1: do not miss the new docuseries on Oxygen. It's the
- 17:10Speaker 1: true story of a teen girl, a cheerleader in Mississippi
- 17:14Speaker 1: who is burned alive and the story of the man
- 17:19Speaker 1: accused of this heinous crime. Is that the right guy
- 17:23Speaker 1: on trial? Who is he? And who is Jessica Chambers?
- 17:27Speaker 1: And how does such a horrific crime occur? With more
- 17:32Speaker 1: questions than answers, this is the case that has captured
- 17:36Speaker 1: national headlines, taken over social media, and leaves a small
- 17:41Speaker 1: town divided. This is a must see TV event. It
- 17:45Speaker 1: features exclusive interviews that take you inside the investigation as
- 17:51Speaker 1: a search for answers and justice goes on unspeakable crime,
- 17:56Speaker 1: The Killing of Jessica Chambers, Saturdays at seven Central on Oxygen,
- 18:02Speaker 1: the new network for crime Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
- 18:16Speaker 1: From Way was he from you? He was he? He
- 18:20Speaker 1: initially took off just a little ways, maybe thirty ft
- 18:25Speaker 1: from me, and then he went to a major sprint
- 18:29Speaker 1: after that. And that's whenever I took off run and
- 18:32Speaker 1: after him, I was giving him just a little leeway freedom.
- 18:36Speaker 1: He likes playing outside. He enjoys the outdoors, so I
- 18:40Speaker 1: just wanted him to have fun. Worry. I started worrying
- 18:45Speaker 1: once I got back and didn't see him anymore. And
- 18:48Speaker 1: once I got to where the office is, you can
- 18:50Speaker 1: see that there's the parking lot right there and you
- 18:53Speaker 1: can still go around the lake. So once I couldnot
- 18:55Speaker 1: see him anymore, that's when I got scared of from
- 18:59Speaker 1: the way because the history of he usually runs, but
- 19:03Speaker 1: he'll slow down or stop to give me a chance
- 19:06Speaker 1: to go pick him up a lot. That was our
- 19:10Speaker 1: very first time I've ever gone there. That is the
- 19:12Speaker 1: father speaking in the last hours that a news conference.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Joining us right now. We are taking your calls crime
- 19:18Speaker 1: Heather in Batton Rage High Heather, what's your question, dear
- 19:21Speaker 1: hi um? I actually i've heard you guys asking who
- 19:25Speaker 1: is the person, the other person, the third party that
- 19:27Speaker 1: was with him. I actually watched a report from CBS
- 19:31Speaker 1: last night, guy named David I don't know how to
- 19:33Speaker 1: say his last name, big Nod or something, and he
- 19:37Speaker 1: said that the third party was the father's girlfriend of
- 19:42Speaker 1: two months. Okay, stay right there, Heather, stay right there.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell. That has been my suspicion that it
- 19:50Speaker 1: was a girlfriend, and I'll tell you why, because the
- 19:53Speaker 1: friend remained unnamed and never came forward to to stay
- 19:56Speaker 1: what happened. Well, it sounds totally plausible. I didn't hear
- 19:59Speaker 1: that report on CBS, so I can't comment on the
- 20:03Speaker 1: accuracy of the reporting, but it sounds I think your
- 20:06Speaker 1: theory makes sense. What, if anything, does that mean to
- 20:09Speaker 1: the scenario. Dr Russell, Well, I don't know that it
- 20:13Speaker 1: means anything necessarily, but it certainly does. Uh. It does
- 20:17Speaker 1: add another dimension to the story, and it adds all
- 20:22Speaker 1: kinds of suspicions then running through my mind, not suspicions,
- 20:26Speaker 1: and it runs all kinds of theories through my mind
- 20:29Speaker 1: about how potential discord between the parents could, in some cases,
- 20:35Speaker 1: not necessarily this one end up being a motivator of
- 20:39Speaker 1: parental involvement in the child going missing. According to the father,
- 20:46Speaker 1: he has taken to polygraph tests and pass but the
- 20:49Speaker 1: FBI is not confirming. Now police say that they want
- 20:53Speaker 1: to talk to the person who was sitting wearing camouflage
- 20:55Speaker 1: hat and taking a silver kayak out of the lake
- 20:58Speaker 1: at the time he went missing. The lake is still
- 21:01Speaker 1: being drained. To Dr Michelle dupree. If matox has wandered
- 21:04Speaker 1: into that lake, is there going to be any way
- 21:07Speaker 1: to determine cause of death? Yes, Sansy, there very well. Maybe.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Of course, if it's a case of drowning, we can
- 21:12Speaker 1: certainly determine that. If there are other signs of abuse,
- 21:14Speaker 1: say blant trauma or anything else, we will likely be
- 21:17Speaker 1: able to tell that through in autopsy. And when you
- 21:19Speaker 1: say trauma, how could you tell that if a body
- 21:22Speaker 1: has been submerged for hours or days even there will
- 21:25Speaker 1: be UM signs of that on the body. Physical science,
- 21:28Speaker 1: for example, bruises. Water does not cover up bruises UM.
- 21:31Speaker 1: That's blood in the tissues surrounding the injury. UM, any
- 21:34Speaker 1: kind of fractures will certainly be able to determine any
- 21:36Speaker 1: kind of UM, blontenforced trauma, any of that. We should
- 21:39Speaker 1: still be able to determine some of our stopsies. You know,
- 21:41Speaker 1: to Nashville p d turn private investigator Vincent Hill, we've
- 21:45Speaker 1: been studying the aerial map along with Kathleen Murphy. What
- 21:49Speaker 1: she is saying, if you look at the overhead, She's right,
- 21:54Speaker 1: there are all these establishments right around the part. What
- 21:57Speaker 1: does that mean? Interpret that for me? In terms Vincent
- 22:00Speaker 1: Hill of finding the boy. Well, man, she she's absolutely right.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I mean, quite frankly, someone sort of seen Little Maddox.
- 22:07Speaker 1: And the biggest problem I have with this scenario, Nancy
- 22:10Speaker 1: is Ian says he was ahead of him, then he
- 22:14Speaker 1: took off in a full sprint. But looking at the
- 22:16Speaker 1: aerial footage, there's really no area where he would have
- 22:20Speaker 1: lost sight a little Maddox. And he never once said
- 22:23Speaker 1: I lost sight of him at this park that he
- 22:25Speaker 1: went to for the very very first time, and then
- 22:28Speaker 1: his son goes missing at this park. But in in theory,
- 22:32Speaker 1: if even if he takes off in a full sprint,
- 22:34Speaker 1: he still should have had visual on his son. I mean,
- 22:37Speaker 1: and he looks like he's in pretty good shape. He's
- 22:39Speaker 1: not six pounds and he can't run, So I don't
- 22:41Speaker 1: understand that. Well. Now, in just the last hour, the
- 22:46Speaker 1: nine one one caller is now saying he doesn't believe
- 22:49Speaker 1: the six year old boy was ever even at the
- 22:53Speaker 1: park when he went missing. That's a very very serious
- 22:58Speaker 1: allegations have released that nine on one call May nearly
- 23:02Speaker 1: an hour after Little Maddix goes missing. It is a
- 23:05Speaker 1: guy named Rick Fox who works there at rankin Lake
- 23:08Speaker 1: Park who made the nine on one call, and he
- 23:10Speaker 1: is now saying he doesn't believe the boy was ever there.
- 23:14Speaker 1: He says, quote it didn't look as though they were
- 23:17Speaker 1: that concern of the boy's father and girlfriend who was
- 23:21Speaker 1: with him at the park. He goes on to say, quote,
- 23:24Speaker 1: I've worked there almost three years. We see everybody come
- 23:26Speaker 1: in and out of that park pretty much. I did
- 23:29Speaker 1: not see that kid one time. What does this mean?
- 23:34Speaker 1: What if anything doesn't mean to Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina,
- 23:39Speaker 1: joining us on the scene, what does it mean, Kathleen?
- 23:43Speaker 1: It means that another case of Mariah Wood. Mariah would
- 23:47Speaker 1: went missing out of her home in the middle of
- 23:49Speaker 1: the night, and the father was eventually with a boyfriend,
- 23:54Speaker 1: was eventually charged with her murder. And that's what I
- 23:57Speaker 1: believe because I'm looking and I agree with you Ben
- 24:00Speaker 1: it there there's no way that this child was out
- 24:04Speaker 1: of visual sight from his father. Okay, wait a minute,
- 24:08Speaker 1: right there, right there, hold on, I've taken my twins
- 24:11Speaker 1: hiking in the woods many, many times. A little known fact.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Over the summer in college, I made my living as
- 24:18Speaker 1: a hike master. I take them on hikes religiously. They
- 24:23Speaker 1: will get far. They will get ahead of me. Not far,
- 24:26Speaker 1: but they will get ahead of me. They'll turn a bend.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And when that happens, I take off running. And I
- 24:31Speaker 1: hate to tell him slow down, slow down, slow down.
- 24:33Speaker 1: When they're having fun, I take off after them. And
- 24:36Speaker 1: for those few moments it's scary. But I'm having a
- 24:40Speaker 1: hard time understanding how we got away that fast. To Kathleen, Yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 1: there's no there's there's there's no very few beds around
- 24:48Speaker 1: this leg. He says. He was right across the lake
- 24:51Speaker 1: from the pier. If you look at the satellite view
- 24:54Speaker 1: of the lake, across from the pier is a long, long,
- 24:58Speaker 1: long road with no bends. And I'm gonna tell you
- 25:02Speaker 1: what if I have a six year old autistic child
- 25:04Speaker 1: a flash of my eyes, and if I can't see
- 25:07Speaker 1: my child in that period of time, Hell's gonna break loose. Well,
- 25:11Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell, you know what happened to me. It
- 25:14Speaker 1: happened to me inside a Big Baby's rus superstore when
- 25:17Speaker 1: I was looking. Jackie's laughing here in the studit because
- 25:20Speaker 1: she's heard it. It makes me almost almost makes me nauseous.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Dr Brian. I was squatting down on the very bottom
- 25:28Speaker 1: shelf on the floor, practically looking for organic suntan lotion.
- 25:32Speaker 1: But don't even bother And I asked quite long story.
- 25:35Speaker 1: I had John David Lucy with me. They were only
- 25:38Speaker 1: two and a half maybe at the time, and they
- 25:40Speaker 1: were wearing those little crocs that are silent, and I
- 25:44Speaker 1: stood up after not finding anything. Irritated, I turned around.
- 25:47Speaker 1: There's Lucy just staring at me, and John David's gone.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Just like Adam Walsh. I nearly had a heart attack.
- 25:54Speaker 1: I grabbed Lucy like a football quarterback under my arm
- 25:56Speaker 1: and took off running, screaming. And of course we've found him.
- 26:00Speaker 1: He had just wandered off like three miles, three aisles away,
- 26:05Speaker 1: and it was that fast. It was that fast. I
- 26:09Speaker 1: want to defend the father, but my main concern here,
- 26:12Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell is finding the child. Yeah, and I
- 26:15Speaker 1: think that reaction that you had is uh the normal
- 26:20Speaker 1: reaction that we would expect from any parent in that situation.
- 26:23Speaker 1: And it is interesting that this employee of the park
- 26:26Speaker 1: is saying that there was no sign of that kind
- 26:29Speaker 1: of concern, that level of concern coming out of the father.
- 26:33Speaker 1: I know that a lot of times you hear psychologists say, well,
- 26:37Speaker 1: you know, everybody reacts differently to things, and you can't
- 26:40Speaker 1: really read anything into somebody's reaction just because it's not yours. Yeah,
- 26:45Speaker 1: you can sometimes tip line in the search formatics seven
- 26:48Speaker 1: O four eight six nine zero seven five seven O
- 26:52Speaker 1: four eight six nine one zero seven five And now
- 26:55Speaker 1: to Washington. You have categorically denied that this happened. Did
- 27:04Speaker 1: anything happen? No, I've never sexually assaulted anyone, not in
- 27:09Speaker 1: high school, not ever. I've always treated women with dignity
- 27:15Speaker 1: and respect. Listen to the people who have known me
- 27:19Speaker 1: best through my whole life, the women who have known
- 27:21Speaker 1: me since high school, who overnight signed a letter from
- 27:25Speaker 1: high school saying I always treated them with dignity and respect.
- 27:28Speaker 1: You are hearing the sound of potential Supreme Court Justice
- 27:32Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. The battle starting now officially, although it's been
- 27:38Speaker 1: being ways for weeks on end, with one woman claiming
- 27:42Speaker 1: she and her family have now had to move to
- 27:44Speaker 1: a safe house after she emerges with claims this Supreme
- 27:48Speaker 1: Court justice nominee sexually assaulted her in high school. Opening
- 27:54Speaker 1: statements now joining me right now, Shawn Walsh Daily Mail
- 27:59Speaker 1: dot Com sean she has provided a written statement ahead
- 28:04Speaker 1: of time about what she plans to say. Generally, what
- 28:08Speaker 1: do you think, Sean, Nancy, this is going to be
- 28:10Speaker 1: one of those days that goes down in history. The
- 28:13Speaker 1: world will be watching as the testimony, Jeweling testimony occurs today.
- 28:17Speaker 1: And in that statement she provides intivid detail her recollection
- 28:20Speaker 1: of the night she alleges brick Kavanaugh actually assaulted her
- 28:23Speaker 1: at a high school party. Now, let me talk about
- 28:25Speaker 1: what she is alleging. She is not alleging a rape.
- 28:30Speaker 1: She is uh had been. She was a teenager. She
- 28:33Speaker 1: had been swimming almost every day at a community pool,
- 28:38Speaker 1: and she went to an all girls school and they
- 28:41Speaker 1: would get together with the all boys schools, various schools
- 28:44Speaker 1: in the area. And this was an impromptu Hey let's
- 28:47Speaker 1: go over to this house after swimming, and a group
- 28:50Speaker 1: of teens went there. There were no parents, everyone was drinking.
- 28:55Speaker 1: She had one beer, according to her. And I'm talking
- 28:59Speaker 1: about Dr Christine Blasi for this is what I've learned
- 29:05Speaker 1: about her. You know what, I'll let you talk about it, Sean.
- 29:08Speaker 1: What do we know about her background? We know quite
- 29:12Speaker 1: a bit about her background. I mean, this is a
- 29:14Speaker 1: woman who, it seems the first was kind of reluctant
- 29:17Speaker 1: to reveal herself publicly, but now she said she will
- 29:20Speaker 1: and she's doing that today. She seemed like a studious
- 29:22Speaker 1: girl who knew Brett Havana have to go to a
- 29:25Speaker 1: party with him, and I can get into those details
- 29:26Speaker 1: of the party, Nancy, if you'd like of what she said,
- 29:29Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Yes, I do want that. But Sean,
- 29:31Speaker 1: you know what. I appreciate you being a crack reporter
- 29:35Speaker 1: and the force behind Daily mel TV. I really do.
- 29:39Speaker 1: But could you please be responsive to my question? You're
- 29:42Speaker 1: on a direct a response. Okay, that's what I typically
- 29:46Speaker 1: do in court, but I'll go easy on you. I'm
- 29:48Speaker 1: talking about her. This is what I know. Correct me
- 29:50Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, Sean. While she just can't wait to
- 29:52Speaker 1: jump into the sex assault allegation, I understand how she
- 29:55Speaker 1: grew up in the suburbs of DC. She went to
- 29:57Speaker 1: hold an Arms School in Bethesda from a eighty four.
- 30:00Speaker 1: It's an all girls school um that started way back
- 30:03Speaker 1: in nineteen o one. The girls there would become friendly
- 30:06Speaker 1: with boys from the all boys school, the Land of School,
- 30:09Speaker 1: Georgetown Prep, Gonzaga High School, a lot of places our
- 30:13Speaker 1: family could never afford and I think you're with me
- 30:15Speaker 1: on that, but in in a lot of story short
- 30:17Speaker 1: that's how they met on that you know, teen circuit.
- 30:21Speaker 1: So that year um and freshman sophomore years fourteen fifteen,
- 30:25Speaker 1: she intersected with Brett and his friends for a short
- 30:29Speaker 1: period of time and it leads him up to the
- 30:31Speaker 1: Maryland swimming pool party. One day now, that summer day,
- 30:36Speaker 1: after swimming, she goes to a gathering at a home
- 30:38Speaker 1: in Chevy Chase. It's the Bethesda area. There were four
- 30:41Speaker 1: boys she remembers being there, Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, P. J. Smith,
- 30:46Speaker 1: and another boy whose name she doesn't recall. That's how
- 30:49Speaker 1: that evening started. But what I want to talk about
- 30:53Speaker 1: is who she is. This woman is no idiot. Now
- 30:57Speaker 1: does that matter in the big ski, No, But what
- 31:01Speaker 1: I'm saying is she can't hold down the position she
- 31:04Speaker 1: has with being a complete fly by night. All right, Um,
- 31:10Speaker 1: it's Christine Blasi Ford a professor of psychology at Palo
- 31:13Speaker 1: Alto University, a research psychologist at Stanford University of Medicine,
- 31:19Speaker 1: undergrad University North Carolina, degree in Experimental psychology, master's degree
- 31:24Speaker 1: in ninety one clinical psychology at Pepperdine then a pH
- 31:28Speaker 1: d in Educational psychology University Southern California, master's degree in
- 31:33Speaker 1: a epidemiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She's been
- 31:39Speaker 1: married to one man since two thousand two and they
- 31:41Speaker 1: have two children. Before I go to Shawn Walsh about
- 31:45Speaker 1: the attack, the alleged attack, Dr Michelle Dupree, what does
- 31:48Speaker 1: that mean that you have your pH d and epidemiology?
- 31:53Speaker 1: What is that, Nancy? Epidemology is really um statistics. It
- 31:57Speaker 1: tells us um where we can find that diseases began.
- 32:01Speaker 1: It's more of a community public health type of degree.
- 32:04Speaker 1: It's very intensive. It has a lot of statistics in
- 32:06Speaker 1: it and requires a lot of work. Epidemiology. You know,
- 32:09Speaker 1: for some reason many people believe that that is a
- 32:12Speaker 1: branch of uh study of medicine. But you're saying it
- 32:16Speaker 1: deals with statistically analyzing epidemics, medical epidemics. Is that right?
- 32:22Speaker 1: That's right? It does. Like ebola or the plague that's
- 32:25Speaker 1: what we're talking about, Okay, I got it? Or food poisoning.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Where did that food poisoning? The outbreak a car? Okay?
- 32:30Speaker 1: All right, you just clarified a lot for me and
- 32:32Speaker 1: trying to understand who this woman is very analytical background. Okay,
- 32:38Speaker 1: Sean Walsh Dei email dot com, Daily Mail TV. Yes,
- 32:42Speaker 1: you're a superstar. You're not. At the start of day, Sean,
- 32:44Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you. She is. And
- 32:47Speaker 1: there was a mysterious note placed in front of her
- 32:49Speaker 1: seat where she is testifying in front of the Senate
- 32:53Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee that says, good luck, doctor Ford. Okay, Now,
- 32:58Speaker 1: how do the attack, the alleged attack go down? Because
- 33:02Speaker 1: she was wearing a one piece swimsuit underneath shorts in
- 33:06Speaker 1: a shirt. How did it happen? Okay? So let me
- 33:09Speaker 1: take you through what um. You've named all of the
- 33:11Speaker 1: people that said they were there, and she also says
- 33:13Speaker 1: that a friend by the name of leyland Ingham was
- 33:15Speaker 1: attending as well. She's very clear on saying that she
- 33:18Speaker 1: does not remember all of the details of how the
- 33:19Speaker 1: gathering came together, but like many of that summer, it
- 33:22Speaker 1: was one of those spur of the moment things that
- 33:24Speaker 1: that happened, and we all remember when were kids, the
- 33:26Speaker 1: party would happen you turned up. She says that she
- 33:28Speaker 1: wishes she could provide more details to all of those
- 33:30Speaker 1: questions about how she got to the party, where it
- 33:32Speaker 1: took place, but she just doesn't have those answers. Well,
- 33:35Speaker 1: hold on, let me call you just right there, Dr
- 33:37Speaker 1: Brian Russell. That's not my high school experience. That's neither
- 33:40Speaker 1: here nor there. But she the significance in our backtrack
- 33:45Speaker 1: to Sean, Dr Brian, is that the reason she says
- 33:48Speaker 1: she didn't come forward to start with is she didn't
- 33:51Speaker 1: want her parents to know she went to a party
- 33:53Speaker 1: without telling them, unsupervised and there was a beer there,
- 33:57Speaker 1: which I can tell you many children in America around
- 33:59Speaker 1: the world have on the very Sean walls. You are not,
- 34:02Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell. Hold on a moment, Dr Brian Russell,
- 34:05Speaker 1: jump in before Sean starts a game. Place. This uh
- 34:09Speaker 1: spectacle that you're seeing today is the reason why, if
- 34:13Speaker 1: you didn't know in high school or middle school, why
- 34:16Speaker 1: you were assigned to read Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the
- 34:20Speaker 1: play The Crucible. This is the reason, and you should
- 34:24Speaker 1: go back and read it now. In this context, if
- 34:27Speaker 1: an accuser chooses to keep quiet for years and years,
- 34:30Speaker 1: that's fine, that's their prerogative, although I have to note
- 34:35Speaker 1: that that does if the accuser believes their story. Uh,
- 34:40Speaker 1: that does leave a perpetrator at least they someone they
- 34:44Speaker 1: believe as a perpetrator out there running around potentially able
- 34:46Speaker 1: to victimize other people. But if they want to keep that, uh,
- 34:49Speaker 1: if they want to keep quiet about that, the law
- 34:51Speaker 1: allows them to do that. But at some point, for
- 34:55Speaker 1: most alleged wrongdoings, it becomes unreasonable to expect this xiety
- 35:00Speaker 1: to a sort out what happened with enough certainty to
- 35:04Speaker 1: effectuate any justice, and therefore unreasonable for society to even
- 35:10Speaker 1: entertain the allegation. And I think that's where we are
- 35:13Speaker 1: on this. And if I were on that committee today,
- 35:16Speaker 1: with all of the various inconsistencies and the whole that
- 35:19Speaker 1: there are more holes and that I could drive my
- 35:21Speaker 1: big SUV through the holes in this story, my question
- 35:24Speaker 1: would be, uh, man, thank you for coming here today.
- 35:28Speaker 1: If anything you've said here today can be proven false,
- 35:31Speaker 1: do you agree that you should be prosecuted to the
- 35:33Speaker 1: fullest extent of the law for perjury. Well, actually, Sean
- 35:36Speaker 1: Walsh daily mail dot com. She has mentioned the incident
- 35:40Speaker 1: over the years, and I'm still circling back to Sean,
- 35:44Speaker 1: believe it or not. I'm sorry I interrupted, but she
- 35:47Speaker 1: did tell what they were building her house. She insisted
- 35:51Speaker 1: on a double front door, two front door so people
- 35:53Speaker 1: could get out, and she told her husband about it
- 35:55Speaker 1: then when they first built their house. Over the years,
- 35:58Speaker 1: she has told select people about it, not always mentioning
- 36:02Speaker 1: his name. But again I've misdirected Sean back to the
- 36:06Speaker 1: actual incident. What does she say happened? Sure, Nancy, Um,
- 36:10Speaker 1: you're correct, And I think one thing we should also
- 36:11Speaker 1: point out is that her parents were Bush Conservatives, so
- 36:16Speaker 1: she didn't come from a family of Democrats like people think.
- 36:20Speaker 1: It's been reported that her parents were Bush Conservatives back
- 36:23Speaker 1: in the era, so there's a bit of that. Because
- 36:25Speaker 1: this is a very much a partisan This is very
- 36:28Speaker 1: much a partisan day, and regardless of where you sit
- 36:31Speaker 1: in the political spectrum, there's always going to be a
- 36:34Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt of accusations that are made during
- 36:36Speaker 1: this period because there's someone who has been vetted very
- 36:38Speaker 1: much over their career, as Kavana has, and so it
- 36:42Speaker 1: is worth noting she does come from a family of conservatives. Well,
- 36:44Speaker 1: Sean Watts, once again I've asked you what happened, and
- 36:47Speaker 1: somehow you've managed to do a deep dive and family politics.
- 36:51Speaker 1: What I want to know are, what are the facts
- 37:00Speaker 1: Deshan what daily mail dot com The hearing is happening now.
- 37:04Speaker 1: I want to go finally go through the facts. Go ahead, Sean. Okay. So.
- 37:10Speaker 1: She says that when she got to the small gathering,
- 37:12Speaker 1: people were drinking beer in a small living room on
- 37:14Speaker 1: the first floor of the house. She says that she
- 37:16Speaker 1: drank one beer that evening and that Brett and Mark,
- 37:20Speaker 1: two of the people there, were visibly drunk. Early in
- 37:23Speaker 1: the evening, she had gone up a narrow settle stairs
- 37:25Speaker 1: leading from the living room to a second floor to
- 37:27Speaker 1: use the bathroom. When she got to the top of
- 37:29Speaker 1: the stairs, she claims she was pushed from behind into
- 37:33Speaker 1: a bedroom. She couldn't see who pushed her, but Brett
- 37:36Speaker 1: and Mark allegedly came into the bedroom and locked the
- 37:38Speaker 1: door behind them. She says there was music playing in
- 37:41Speaker 1: the bedroom. It was turned up louder, but she doesn't
- 37:44Speaker 1: know who turned up the music. Once Brett and Mark
- 37:47Speaker 1: were in the room, she says she was pushed onto
- 37:50Speaker 1: the bed and Brett got on top of her. She
- 37:53Speaker 1: alleges that he began running his hands over her body
- 37:56Speaker 1: and grinding his hips on top on her. She says
- 37:59Speaker 1: she yelled think that someone downstairs might hear her, and
- 38:02Speaker 1: she tried to get away from him, but she says
- 38:04Speaker 1: that his weight was heavy. He groped her and tried
- 38:08Speaker 1: to take off her clothes. She alleges she said he
- 38:12Speaker 1: had a hard time because she was because he was
- 38:15Speaker 1: so drunk, and because she was wearing a one piece
- 38:18Speaker 1: bathing suit under her clothing. She believed that he was
- 38:21Speaker 1: going to rape her. She said she tried to yell
- 38:24Speaker 1: for help. When she did, she claims that he put
- 38:27Speaker 1: his hand over her mouth to to to stop her
- 38:30Speaker 1: from screaming. She says this is what terrified her the
- 38:33Speaker 1: most and that she had them and this had the
- 38:35Speaker 1: most lasting impact on her life. She claims it was
- 38:38Speaker 1: difficult for her to breathe and that she thought Brett
- 38:41Speaker 1: was actually evently going to kill her. She said both
- 38:44Speaker 1: Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack that
- 38:48Speaker 1: she is alleging. She also says that both seemed to
- 38:52Speaker 1: be having a good time. Mark was urging Brett on
- 38:55Speaker 1: and at times he told Brett to stop. She said
- 38:59Speaker 1: a couple of times made eye contact with Mark and
- 39:01Speaker 1: thought he might try and help her, but she claims
- 39:04Speaker 1: he did not. She said during this assault. Mark came
- 39:07Speaker 1: over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was
- 39:09Speaker 1: on top of her. The last time he did this,
- 39:12Speaker 1: they toppled over and Brett was no longer on top
- 39:14Speaker 1: of her. She says that she was then able to
- 39:16Speaker 1: get up and run out of the room. Directly across
- 39:19Speaker 1: her in the bedroom was a small bathroom. She says
- 39:21Speaker 1: that she ran inside and locked the door. She heard
- 39:24Speaker 1: Breton Mark leave the bedroom, laughing and loudly walking down
- 39:27Speaker 1: the narrow stairs, pinballing off the walls on the way down.
- 39:31Speaker 1: She says she waited, and when she did not hear
- 39:34Speaker 1: from them, she came back up the stairs. She left
- 39:36Speaker 1: the bedroom, ran down the stairs, through the living room,
- 39:38Speaker 1: and left the house. She says she remembers being on
- 39:40Speaker 1: the street and filling an enormous sense of relief that
- 39:42Speaker 1: she had escaped from the house and that Breton Mark
- 39:45Speaker 1: were not coming after her. She says that the assault
- 39:48Speaker 1: drastically altered her life. She said for a very long
- 39:51Speaker 1: time she was too afraid and too ashamed to tell
- 39:53Speaker 1: anyone the details. She said she did not want to
- 39:56Speaker 1: tell her parents that at the age of fifteen, I
- 39:58Speaker 1: was in a house without any parents present, drinking beer
- 40:01Speaker 1: with boys. She tried to convince herself that because Brett
- 40:04Speaker 1: did not rape her, she should be able to move
- 40:07Speaker 1: on and just pretend that it did not happen. She said.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Over the years, she told very few friends that she
- 40:13Speaker 1: had had this traumatic experience. You know. According to Dr four,
- 40:17Speaker 1: she told her husband before they were married that she
- 40:22Speaker 1: had been sex assaulted. It did not tell the details
- 40:26Speaker 1: during until May two thousand twelve and a couple's counseling session,
- 40:31Speaker 1: and it came up because they had done this extensive
- 40:34Speaker 1: remodel on their home and she was insisting on that
- 40:37Speaker 1: second front door. Sean Waltz, Daily Mail dot Com and
- 40:42Speaker 1: Daily Mail TV explain why second door to the remodeling
- 40:46Speaker 1: of the home was so so critical. She said that
- 40:50Speaker 1: she wanted to have a second front door because the
- 40:53Speaker 1: boy that assaulted her, that she alleges assaulted her, could
- 40:56Speaker 1: one day be on the Supreme Court, and she wanted
- 40:59Speaker 1: extra safety in her house. The husband recalls that at
- 41:03Speaker 1: that time, which was May two thousand and twelve, she
- 41:08Speaker 1: named her attack as Brett Kavanaugh. Sean Walsh part, I'm
- 41:15Speaker 1: torn on this and I'll tell you why, because I
- 41:17Speaker 1: want the truth and I don't care if she's telling
- 41:19Speaker 1: the truth or not telling the truth. I just want
- 41:22Speaker 1: to know the truth. He does he have any other
- 41:28Speaker 1: incidents like this in his background? I want to know that,
- 41:31Speaker 1: because what I know about her is that she has none,
- 41:34Speaker 1: and as a matter of fact, I know that this
- 41:36Speaker 1: has been a great personal sacrifice to her Seawan Walsh
- 41:41Speaker 1: daily mail dot Com. Of course, she tried to keep
- 41:44Speaker 1: her identity secret, but it wasn't long before it leaked out.
- 41:47Speaker 1: And what has happened since then. In the last couple
- 41:50Speaker 1: of weeks, there are now two new accusers that have
- 41:53Speaker 1: come forward with allegations against Brett Kavanaugh and um. Their
- 41:58Speaker 1: stories are both detail ass you know, Nancy, and they're
- 42:02Speaker 1: also being heavily vetted by people like daily mail dot com.
- 42:06Speaker 1: I mean, we have extensive reporting today about the new
- 42:11Speaker 1: accuser that came forward overnight. So Nancy, there is a
- 42:14Speaker 1: lot of other information coming through. And what I'm saying
- 42:16Speaker 1: is she's had to come she came forward, and now
- 42:20Speaker 1: she's being attacked and maligned online and the family had
- 42:25Speaker 1: to move out of the house. You've got two kids exactly.
- 42:27Speaker 1: She says that she's now in a safe house because
- 42:29Speaker 1: of this. I mean, so I mean, when you're making
- 42:32Speaker 1: accusations like this, that I mean, if we go back
- 42:34Speaker 1: just to She says in therapy session she had done
- 42:38Speaker 1: her best to suppress the memories of the assault. Before
- 42:40Speaker 1: recounting the details caused to her, and she said reliving
- 42:44Speaker 1: the experience of course panic attacks anxiety. She occasionally she
- 42:47Speaker 1: will discuss the assaulting individual therapy, but talking about it
- 42:51Speaker 1: caused her to relive the trauma, so she tried not
- 42:53Speaker 1: to think about it or discuss it. She says over
- 42:55Speaker 1: the years, she went through periods where she thought about
- 42:57Speaker 1: breast attack and she confided in some clothes ends about
- 43:01Speaker 1: the experience. Occasionally she'd say that the assailant was a
- 43:04Speaker 1: prominent lawyer or judge, but she would not use his name.
- 43:08Speaker 1: She says she doesn't recall each person she spoke to
- 43:10Speaker 1: about britsassault, and that some friends have reminded her of
- 43:12Speaker 1: these conversations since the Washington Post broke the story of
- 43:16Speaker 1: September sixteen, but she said about until July, she had
- 43:21Speaker 1: never named Mr Kavanaugh as her attacker outside of therapy,
- 43:25Speaker 1: but she says this all changed in July eighteen. She
- 43:28Speaker 1: saw the press reports stating that Britt Kavanaugh was on
- 43:31Speaker 1: the shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees, so she then
- 43:34Speaker 1: felt it was her civic duty to relay the information
- 43:36Speaker 1: she had about Mr. Kavana's conduct to those considering his
- 43:41Speaker 1: potential nomination. And now, Nancy, let's listen to a crucial
- 43:44Speaker 1: segment of Dr Christine blaisie Ford's opening statement to the
- 43:48Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee. There were four boys I remember specifically
- 43:52Speaker 1: being at the house, Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, appointing PJ,
- 43:59Speaker 1: and one other boy whose name I cannot recall. I
- 44:03Speaker 1: also remember my friend Leland attending. I do not remember
- 44:08Speaker 1: all of the details of how that gathering came together,
- 44:12Speaker 1: but like many that summer, it was almost surely a
- 44:14Speaker 1: spur of the moment gathering. I truly wish I could
- 44:18Speaker 1: be more helpful with more detailed answers to all of
- 44:21Speaker 1: the questions that have and will be asked about how
- 44:24Speaker 1: I got to the party, and where it took place
- 44:26Speaker 1: and so forth. I don't have all the answers, and
- 44:30Speaker 1: I don't remember as much as I would like to,
- 44:33Speaker 1: but the details that about that night that bring me
- 44:36Speaker 1: here today are the ones I will never forget. They
- 44:40Speaker 1: have been seared into my memory and have haunted me
- 44:42Speaker 1: episodically as an adult. When I got to the small gathering,
- 44:48Speaker 1: people were drinking beer in a small living room family
- 44:52Speaker 1: room type area on the first floor of the house.
- 44:56Speaker 1: I drank one beer. Brett and Mark were visibly drunk.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Early in the evening, I went up a very narrow
- 45:05Speaker 1: set of stairs leading from the living room to a
- 45:08Speaker 1: second floor to use the restroom. When I got to
- 45:12Speaker 1: the top of the stairs, I was pushed from behind
- 45:15Speaker 1: into a bedroom across from the bathroom. I couldn't see
- 45:19Speaker 1: who pushed me. Brett and Mark came into the bedroom
- 45:23Speaker 1: and locked the door behind them. There was music playing
- 45:28Speaker 1: in the bedroom. It was turned up louder by either
- 45:33Speaker 1: Brett or Mark. Once we were in the room, I
- 45:36Speaker 1: was pushed onto the bed and Brett got on top
- 45:39Speaker 1: of me. He began running his hands over my body
- 45:43Speaker 1: and grinding into me. I yelled, hoping that someone downstairs
- 45:49Speaker 1: might hear me, and I tried to get away from him,
- 45:52Speaker 1: but his weight was heavy. Brett groped me and tried
- 45:57Speaker 1: to take off my clothes. He had a heart time
- 46:00Speaker 1: because he was very inebriated, and because I was wearing
- 46:04Speaker 1: a one piece bathing suit underneath my clothing. I believed
- 46:09Speaker 1: he was going to rape me. I tried to yell
- 46:12Speaker 1: for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over
- 46:16Speaker 1: my mouth to stop me from yelling. This is what
- 46:20Speaker 1: terrified me the most and has had the most lasting
- 46:22Speaker 1: impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe,
- 46:26Speaker 1: and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Both Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack.
- 46:36Speaker 1: They seemed to be having a very good time. Mark
- 46:40Speaker 1: seemed ambivalent, at times urging Brett on and at times
- 46:44Speaker 1: telling him to stop. A couple of times I made
- 46:48Speaker 1: a contact with Mark and thought he might try to
- 46:51Speaker 1: help me, but he did not. During this assault, Mark
- 46:57Speaker 1: came over and jumped on the bed twice while it
- 47:00Speaker 1: was on top of me, and the last time that
- 47:03Speaker 1: he did this, we toppled over and Brett was no
- 47:07Speaker 1: longer on top of me. I was able to get
- 47:10Speaker 1: up and run out of the room. Directly across from
- 47:14Speaker 1: the bedroom was a small bathroom. I ran inside the
- 47:18Speaker 1: bathroom and locked the door. I waited until I heard
- 47:22Speaker 1: Brett and Mark leave the bedroom laughing, and loudly walked
- 47:26Speaker 1: down the narrow stairway, pinballing off the walls on the
- 47:30Speaker 1: way down. I waited, and when I did not hear
- 47:34Speaker 1: them come back up the stairs, I left the bathroom,
- 47:38Speaker 1: went down the same stairwall through the living room, and
- 47:41Speaker 1: left the house. I remember being on the street and
- 47:45Speaker 1: feeling this enormous sense of relief that I escaped that
- 47:49Speaker 1: house and that Brett and Mark were not coming outside
- 47:53Speaker 1: after me. Brett's assault on me drastically altered my life.
- 47:59Speaker 1: For a very long time, I was too afraid and
- 48:02Speaker 1: ashamed to tell anyone these details. I did not want
- 48:07Speaker 1: to tell my parents that I, at age fifteen, was
- 48:10Speaker 1: in a house without any parents present, drinking beer with boys.
- 48:16Speaker 1: I convinced myself that because Brett did not rape me,
- 48:20Speaker 1: I should just move on and just pretend that it
- 48:23Speaker 1: didn't happen. Over the years, I told very very few
- 48:28Speaker 1: friends that I had this traumatic experience. I told my
- 48:32Speaker 1: husband before we were married that I had experienced a
- 48:36Speaker 1: sexual assault. I had never told the details to anyone,
- 48:40Speaker 1: the specific details until May two thousand twelve, during a
- 48:44Speaker 1: couple's counseling session. The reason this came up in counseling
- 48:50Speaker 1: is that my husband and I had completed a very extensive,
- 48:55Speaker 1: very long remodel of our home, and I insisted on
- 48:58Speaker 1: a second front door. Were an idea that he and
- 49:02Speaker 1: others disagreed with and could not understand. And explaining why
- 49:07Speaker 1: I wanted a second front door, I began to describe
- 49:11Speaker 1: the assault in detail. I recall saying that the boy
- 49:15Speaker 1: who assaulted me could someday be on the U. S.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Supreme Court, and spoke a bit about his background at
- 49:22Speaker 1: an elitist all boys school in Bethess to Maryland. My
- 49:26Speaker 1: husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Right now, it's all unfolding in front of the Senate
- 49:33Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee as we speak. Nancy Grace crime story, signing off,
- 49:39Speaker 1: goodbye friend,
