- 1:14Speaker 1: The girl was last seen by her mother her homing
- 1:16Speaker 1: it on his locality. The mother tells me she last
- 1:18Speaker 1: saw her daughter in the home at a round eleven
- 1:20Speaker 1: PM when she checked on her this is my world,
- 1:22Speaker 1: this is my angel. She said her boyfriend saw the
- 1:25Speaker 1: taller around midnight when he got up, and she says
- 1:28Speaker 1: he told her to go back to bed. Remains believed

- 1:39Speaker 1: Henry's charges only include concealing a death an obstruction of justice.

- 1:58Speaker 1: helicopters die verse. Three year old Mariah is found. She's
- 2:05Speaker 1: found at the bottom of a creek twenty five miles
- 2:08Speaker 1: from her home. Does it jive with Mommy's story? I
- 2:13Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being
- 2:16Speaker 1: with us in the last hours as we had to air,
- 2:20Speaker 1: we received bombshell information on the case. Joining me. Dr
- 2:27Speaker 1: Chloe Carmichael, psychologist and founder of Anxiety Tools dot com.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Alexis tres Chuck, Radar Online dot com investigative reporter death
- 2:35Speaker 1: investigator Joseph Scott Morgan and joining me right now, Child
- 2:39Speaker 1: advocate Ashley Willcott. Ashley, it's quite a bombshell. What have
- 2:46Speaker 1: you learned? Listen? So, Nancy, the CPS documents that the
- 2:52Speaker 1: father had he has shared and it states and here
- 2:56Speaker 1: really horrific, horrific disclosure by the ten year old sibling.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Um and quite frankly, if kids are listening to the show,
- 3:04Speaker 1: I don't think they should listen to the parties. Do
- 3:06Speaker 1: not mention any one other than Maria if she is included,
- 3:12Speaker 1: or the alleged part if he has included. If there
- 3:15Speaker 1: any other minor children, let's don't refer to them if
- 3:18Speaker 1: there are with me, Child advocate Ashley Wilcott with a
- 3:22Speaker 1: major development in this as it unfolds. Right, So, the
- 3:28Speaker 1: ten year old sibling, though, states in this document that
- 3:32Speaker 1: he witnessed the boyfriend and I'm quoting, put his penis
- 3:37Speaker 1: in the mouth of his sister Maria. He also states
- 3:42Speaker 1: that the mother knew the boyfriend did this. Now that's
- 3:50Speaker 1: one of the allegations, Nancy, It gets worse, right, that's
- 3:53Speaker 1: a horrible one. But listen. It also states the mother
- 3:57Speaker 1: of Mariah was aware that the boyfriend abuses substances, including
- 4:04Speaker 1: listen to this pot heroin and met the amphetamines. Lastly,
- 4:10Speaker 1: that on the same day Mariah went missing, that the
- 4:15Speaker 1: ten year old was hit in the face by the boyfriend,
- 4:19Speaker 1: causing the nose to bleed. That's a hard hit. Kids
- 4:22Speaker 1: get hit. They don't bleed right when they're in sports
- 4:24Speaker 1: and such, causing his nose to bleed, and the mother
- 4:29Speaker 1: knew it and failed to protect him. So, Nancy, I'm
- 4:32Speaker 1: gonna I'm sure you're over there throwing up right like,
- 4:34Speaker 1: so now I'm gonna give it back to you when
- 4:36Speaker 1: you probably can't even speak. It's it's that detailed. I
- 4:39Speaker 1: hardly even know which way to turn. Ashually, I don't
- 4:42Speaker 1: even know which way to turn. Guys, we were talking
- 4:45Speaker 1: about the disappearance, and now we know the death of
- 4:48Speaker 1: this gorgeous three year old little girl, Maria Woods. I
- 4:53Speaker 1: have talked extensively with her father, Alex as he struggles
- 4:57Speaker 1: to understand what happened. He was in the middle of
- 5:00Speaker 1: a custody battle to get his children back. He did
- 5:03Speaker 1: not want them in that home. This is what we know.
- 5:05Speaker 1: They lived in a very tiny home and the mom
- 5:09Speaker 1: lived with the live in her two boys and a
- 5:12Speaker 1: little girl. The little girl the story is Alexis Torres
- 5:17Speaker 1: Chuck writer online dot Com, that she goes missing in
- 5:20Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Just break it down really quickly,
- 5:22Speaker 1: and I want to go back to Ashley Willcott. What happened. Well,
- 5:25Speaker 1: the mom called nine one at six o'clock in the
- 5:28Speaker 1: morning and said her daughter had been missing. She said
- 5:30Speaker 1: she last she saw her, she put her to bed.
- 5:32Speaker 1: She said her boyfriend said he saw her at about
- 5:35Speaker 1: eleven o'clock at night and he said, don't worry, I'm
- 5:37Speaker 1: gonna take care of her. I'm gonna put her back
- 5:39Speaker 1: to bed. The mom wakes up in the morning and
- 5:41Speaker 1: she is missing. Obviously none of that was true. Now
- 5:44Speaker 1: that we have found little Moriah's body and the boyfriend,
- 5:47Speaker 1: Earl Camry, has been arrested. You know, the timeline didn't
- 5:50Speaker 1: really hanging together for me, and there was a little
- 5:52Speaker 1: confusion at the beginning of it. But what really stuck
- 5:54Speaker 1: out in my mind to ask she Wilcot, is this
- 5:57Speaker 1: little girl were braces on her legs, you know, like
- 6:00Speaker 1: in the um Um posters for Cerebral Policy. The poster boy,
- 6:06Speaker 1: who has turned out to be a very dear friend
- 6:07Speaker 1: of mine over the years has grown up and still
- 6:09Speaker 1: advocates for cerebral policy. Remember him, it's that kind of posters, uh,
- 6:14Speaker 1: that kind of braces, Ashley. Her braces were in the
- 6:17Speaker 1: home and her PJ she wore the night before. And
- 6:19Speaker 1: when you and I heard that, along with just Scott Morgan,
- 6:22Speaker 1: we were all like, uh uh and oh, the child's
- 6:25Speaker 1: gone and what she was wearing is still there, and
- 6:27Speaker 1: no other clothes are missing. I mean, you know, as
- 6:30Speaker 1: I've told you about Lucy, she got on some kicks.
- 6:32Speaker 1: She's cleaned the closet out so much there's hardly anything
- 6:34Speaker 1: in there anymore. I know exactly what's in there, and
- 6:37Speaker 1: I will know if something is missing much less when
- 6:40Speaker 1: you're three, you know exactly what's in there. No other
- 6:44Speaker 1: clothes were missing. Switch means she wasn't wearing anything when
- 6:48Speaker 1: she left except those pink and white moneies. Ashley. I
- 6:50Speaker 1: want to go back to this bobshell discovery that you
- 6:54Speaker 1: have made regarding child protective services as I call them
- 6:58Speaker 1: de Facts Department Family Children's Services. Do these documents specifically
- 7:02Speaker 1: named Delivan Kimry, Yes, absolutely so, I said, boyfriend. For
- 7:08Speaker 1: purposes of making it easier for listeners to follow, but
- 7:11Speaker 1: it's specifically states. For instance, the ten year old states
- 7:15Speaker 1: that he witnessed Mr. Kimry, but his penus in the
- 7:19Speaker 1: mouth of the three year old all thrue. It references
- 7:23Speaker 1: Mr Kimry specificies. I'm looking at the documents myself right now.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Across the top it says state of North Carolina in
- 7:33Speaker 1: the matter of and it refers to the title of
- 7:37Speaker 1: the case. Uh. It says name and address and it is,
- 7:41Speaker 1: in fact there are two four zero five Dawson Cabin Road.
- 7:45Speaker 1: It gives notice, it gives names of lawyers. This lawyer
- 7:49Speaker 1: is named Mark Rayner, and that's a lawyer for the mom.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Then there's another lawyer, John Paul Saba. It keeps going down,
- 7:58Speaker 1: just telling you what we're seeing. It explains, It says
- 8:02Speaker 1: where the dad lives. It gives a juvenile summings and
- 8:05Speaker 1: notice of hearing. So does that mean to Ashley Wilcott
- 8:09Speaker 1: that there was a hearing on this because it's given
- 8:12Speaker 1: a case number and everything. So what happens, Yes, what
- 8:16Speaker 1: happens when children come into the custody of the state.
- 8:21Speaker 1: In every state it's a little different, but every state
- 8:24Speaker 1: there's going to be a hearing that occurs quickly because
- 8:29Speaker 1: the court has got to determine, for instance, in Georgia,
- 8:33Speaker 1: is their probable cause? Is there reason that these children
- 8:37Speaker 1: would be at risk with their family and actually need
- 8:41Speaker 1: to be in state custody, and those hearings happen quickly.
- 8:45Speaker 1: You know, this filing is December one, two thousand seventeen.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Is when they're filed, thirty four pm in the afternoon
- 8:54Speaker 1: in Onslow County. When did she go missing? What day
- 8:57Speaker 1: did she go missing? Alexis terres Chuck the either November
- 9:02Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty seventh, depending on when what comes in.
- 9:05Speaker 1: She's saying that, guys, is we don't know what time
- 9:07Speaker 1: of the night she goes missing. The mom says she
- 9:10Speaker 1: put her asleep at eleven. The boyfriend says he sees
- 9:12Speaker 1: her at twelve. When did she really go missing? It's
- 9:15Speaker 1: one of those two days. So this this is filed.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Let me understand this after she goes missing, explain that.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcott, guys, these these I'm just beside myself. I'm
- 9:27Speaker 1: looking at what as she Wilcott has managed to unearthed,
- 9:33Speaker 1: and I'm now on page four and it's exactly as
- 9:37Speaker 1: she is saying, Uh, go ahead. What do you make
- 9:40Speaker 1: of this being filed app for she goes missing. I'm
- 9:44Speaker 1: not concerned about that only in this respect. What happens
- 9:48Speaker 1: is the process is so quick, necessarily because the court
- 9:52Speaker 1: needs to protect children. So frequently courts are able to
- 9:57Speaker 1: give verbal orders based on testimony presented to them or
- 10:01Speaker 1: have an emergency order to protect the children, and then
- 10:06Speaker 1: often the documents are allowed by law to be filed
- 10:10Speaker 1: once they can be prepared within a very short time frame.
- 10:14Speaker 1: So in this specific case, I'm not at all surprised
- 10:18Speaker 1: those are date stamped later. That doesn't concern me because
- 10:22Speaker 1: I think that children were likely with a relative or
- 10:25Speaker 1: somewhere safe right before everything got filed. Now, keep in mind,
- 10:30Speaker 1: the other piece of this nancy that we've learned is
- 10:32Speaker 1: that the children are placed with a relative. They are
- 10:36Speaker 1: with the maternal grandmother. So while they remain in the
- 10:39Speaker 1: custody of the state, as I understand, they're placed with
- 10:42Speaker 1: a relative, which, so long as that relative is appropriate,
- 10:45Speaker 1: it's much less traumatic for those children. I'm going back
- 10:49Speaker 1: to the paragraph in order. They're about twenty paragraphs of
- 10:53Speaker 1: fact allegations. Some of them are just the address and
- 10:56Speaker 1: the names, but the one specifically, paragraph fifteen, a witness
- 11:02Speaker 1: states he observed the living boyfriend, Earl Kimry, put his
- 11:08Speaker 1: genitals in the mouth of Mariah Woods, a three year
- 11:14Speaker 1: old child. The witness states that the mother knew Earl
- 11:19Speaker 1: Kimry was sexually abusing three year old Mariah, and the
- 11:23Speaker 1: mother failed to protect the juveniles from exposure failed to
- 11:28Speaker 1: protect Mariah. Correct that failed to protect Mariah from exposure
- 11:34Speaker 1: to sex abuse. The next paragraph, as Ashley Wildcott child
- 11:38Speaker 1: advocate has told you, says that the mother is aware
- 11:41Speaker 1: Camry abuses pot, heroin and meth amphetamine. You know, I
- 11:45Speaker 1: gotta ask you something as she will caught. The mother
- 11:47Speaker 1: let me stay again for the record, has not been
- 11:50Speaker 1: named a person of interest or a suspect in the
- 11:53Speaker 1: death of three year old Maria. But Ashley, she needs
- 11:57Speaker 1: a lawyer, a defense lawyer. And I'll tell you why.
- 12:00Speaker 1: As you already know. When you are in the commission
- 12:03Speaker 1: of a felony that being child a felony child abuse
- 12:08Speaker 1: or neglect neglect, and a death occurs during the commission
- 12:13Speaker 1: of a felony that is felony murder. And for a
- 12:18Speaker 1: felony murder, just like premeditated murder, you can get the
- 12:22Speaker 1: death penalty. Bam right, And I have no doubt that
- 12:26Speaker 1: charges are going to be forthcoming. And I've said from
- 12:29Speaker 1: the beginning law enforcement has done a bang up job
- 12:32Speaker 1: in this case because they have controlled the investigation so
- 12:36Speaker 1: that they can be thorough and deliberate and figure out
- 12:39Speaker 1: exactly what happened, what charges can result and will result.
- 12:43Speaker 1: So I have no doubt she will face criminal charges.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I think they're being throw in their investigation. You know, actually,
- 12:49Speaker 1: when the cops do a great job, nobody ever notices
- 12:52Speaker 1: when one road cop does something horrible, or the cops
- 12:55Speaker 1: in general mess something up. That's all you hear about
- 12:57Speaker 1: the headline. But you're right. This child was found twenty
- 13:01Speaker 1: five miles away from home in a creek bed. They
- 13:07Speaker 1: found her. I've gone over it and over it and
- 13:10Speaker 1: over it with her father, Alex, how it could have
- 13:13Speaker 1: happened the way it may have happened, Ashley. We also
- 13:17Speaker 1: have learned from Alex that someone in the neighborhood observed
- 13:20Speaker 1: someone leaving the home around three to four o'clock in
- 13:23Speaker 1: the morning carrying something. It's all fitting together. But these documents, Ashley,
- 13:29Speaker 1: these documents from Child Protective Services. I'm just sick because
- 13:35Speaker 1: the scenario is playing out in my mind. When you
- 13:38Speaker 1: don't know a horse, Ashley, look at the track record.
- 13:41Speaker 1: If there is evidence that he had molested to a a
- 13:43Speaker 1: child before, what do I know about what was happening
- 13:46Speaker 1: that night? Allegations the mom knew and did nothing? Was
- 13:50Speaker 1: that what happened that night? And then the child ended
- 13:53Speaker 1: up being killed? That she was going to tell somebody
- 13:55Speaker 1: who knows. Ashley helped me put this, help me put
- 13:58Speaker 1: the pieces of the puzzle to other. Look statistically, if
- 14:02Speaker 1: you talk about cases in which um a male has
- 14:06Speaker 1: been a perpetrator of abuse against a child and it's
- 14:09Speaker 1: been substantiated statistically, it is frequently of the time by
- 14:16Speaker 1: a boyfriend or a stepfather. So already if you just
- 14:19Speaker 1: look at statistics, which can be dangerous depending on how
- 14:22Speaker 1: you interpret them. But my point is that happened in
- 14:25Speaker 1: this scenario. I do not believe the mother did not
- 14:29Speaker 1: know and or should not have known. She should have known,
- 14:32Speaker 1: she didn't know, or she should have known this happened.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind she is equally
- 14:38Speaker 1: as responsible and in my opinion, more responsible than the
- 14:42Speaker 1: person who actually did it. Because it is a mother's
- 14:44Speaker 1: job to protect her children and stop choosing making poor
- 14:47Speaker 1: choices for who's around your children. And in this case,
- 14:50Speaker 1: that's exactly what she did. She did not protect an
- 14:53Speaker 1: innocent child at all. You know Ashley so often and
- 14:58Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go to Dr Chloe Carmichael on this.
- 15:00Speaker 1: But Ashley, in our practice uh me, as a prosecutor
- 15:04Speaker 1: used a child advocate and lawyer, I don't believe I
- 15:07Speaker 1: have ever once once and they literally ten thousand plus
- 15:13Speaker 1: cases I have handled seen a mother side against the
- 15:18Speaker 1: boyfriend or the husband and with the child. Never, not
- 15:21Speaker 1: once never. I don't understand it. I mean, I love David,
- 15:25Speaker 1: you know I do, uh, but I would totally kill
- 15:29Speaker 1: him or anybody else that touched the children. And Ashley,
- 15:33Speaker 1: you know I love our babysitters. You've met them all,
- 15:36Speaker 1: you know, every person I've ever had be with the children.
- 15:39Speaker 1: But I've always asked the children alone, has so and
- 15:42Speaker 1: so ever touched your front end? Has so and every
- 15:45Speaker 1: touched you're back? And they go, mom, who would want
- 15:46Speaker 1: touch my back? And I'm like, well, I don't know,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I don't know beside me, I don't know anybody that
- 15:50Speaker 1: would judge it. But have they just tell me, just
- 15:53Speaker 1: tell me. And you know, I know it sounds crazy
- 15:56Speaker 1: to people on the outside, but you have to be vigilant.
- 16:01Speaker 1: But there are people, you know, like women, when their
- 16:03Speaker 1: husbands are cheating, they ignore all the signs they don't
- 16:07Speaker 1: want to know. They ignore the perfume, they ignore the lipstick,
- 16:11Speaker 1: they ignore the calls outside in the car, they ignore
- 16:14Speaker 1: the to cell phones. Why you know, you just you do.
- 16:16Speaker 1: You make up excuses, you rationalize. Could that be possible here, Ashley? Yeah, absolutely,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and I do think women rationalize that. But once children
- 16:25Speaker 1: are involved, that's what you know, that's a whole different
- 16:29Speaker 1: thing than oh, my husband's cheating. Once you have children
- 16:32Speaker 1: and you find out that there's any type of activity
- 16:35Speaker 1: that puts your children at risk. As a mother, that
- 16:38Speaker 1: should come first. But there's an emotional and I'm not
- 16:40Speaker 1: the expert in this, Thank goodness, you have one on
- 16:42Speaker 1: the phone who is, Because there's just this inability to
- 16:46Speaker 1: choose these children over a man, and they continue to
- 16:50Speaker 1: make bad choices and choose a bad man over protecting
- 16:54Speaker 1: their own children. I don't get it. I don't understand it.
- 16:57Speaker 1: I'm here to say it happens a lot. Yeah, I
- 16:59Speaker 1: mean men no offense. Man. I love men, but like
- 17:02Speaker 1: I tell Lucy, she once had a little crush and um,
- 17:06Speaker 1: I said, Lucy, don't worry if he doesn't like you back.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Men are like busses. Another one will come along in
- 17:12Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes. Don't worry and it will be even better.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Uh So, I don't understand why a mom would choose
- 17:21Speaker 1: a man over or a husband choosing a woman over
- 17:26Speaker 1: their children. It's you know that the same for both genders.
- 17:30Speaker 1: What we know right now bomb shall Child Protective Service documents.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I guess we suspected, but now we know that formal
- 17:38Speaker 1: allegations had been made in secret. We managed to obtain
- 17:42Speaker 1: these documents. I want to thank our partner who is

- 19:28Speaker 1: from Child Protective Services in North Carolina that alleged is
- 19:32Speaker 1: not a conviction, It is not a finding by a judge.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Formal documents alleging the live in boyfriend have been sexually
- 19:40Speaker 1: molesting baby Maria, who has now been found dead at
- 19:45Speaker 1: the bottom of a creek. We knew it was all
- 19:48Speaker 1: wrong when Mariah was missing and her little leg braces
- 19:52Speaker 1: were still in the home, as were her pajamas she
- 19:55Speaker 1: was wearing the night before, as she will caught. For
- 19:58Speaker 1: those people that are just joy ending us here at
- 20:00Speaker 1: series six in one thirty two, that may have just
- 20:02Speaker 1: found us on the dial, please tell me what you
- 20:05Speaker 1: have found so, Nancy, what we have found is that
- 20:10Speaker 1: there is a witness in the home who has disclosed
- 20:14Speaker 1: seeing Mr Camery, who is the boyfriend, putting his panis
- 20:19Speaker 1: in Mariah's mouth, and that the mother failed, um um
- 20:26Speaker 1: to address this and knew what was happening to. Dr
- 20:29Speaker 1: Chloe Carmichael, psychologists, founder of Anxiety tools dot Com, joining
- 20:33Speaker 1: Sun of New York. Dr Chloe reminds me so much
- 20:36Speaker 1: of the case one of the first ones I had,
- 20:38Speaker 1: where a very prominent Atlanta businessman had been abusing He
- 20:44Speaker 1: had thirty plus quote natural children. I'd so first. I
- 20:47Speaker 1: remember it very well from all different a lot of
- 20:50Speaker 1: different women over many many years. And he was then
- 20:53Speaker 1: living with his new girlfriend. She had a teen girl,
- 20:57Speaker 1: like a five year old and a three year old,
- 20:59Speaker 1: and of course he was molesting them. And I went
- 21:03Speaker 1: digging and found all of these similar transactions where he
- 21:06Speaker 1: had been doing this for years and years, and he
- 21:08Speaker 1: was now in his sixties. And I remember looking at
- 21:12Speaker 1: that living girlfriend, her team girl had already moved out
- 21:14Speaker 1: of the home and was living alone in a housing
- 21:17Speaker 1: project rather than live in their fancy home. I wonder why, right,
- 21:22Speaker 1: Dr Chloe and the victims in the indictment that I
- 21:25Speaker 1: was prosecuting were looked like two little bity angels. One
- 21:29Speaker 1: was three and one was five, and he was full
- 21:32Speaker 1: on molesting this three and five year old. And the
- 21:35Speaker 1: mom knew Dr Chloe. The mom knew she would sit
- 21:41Speaker 1: on the defense side of the courtroom every day of trial.
- 21:46Speaker 1: That's the trial I got held in content. By the way,
- 21:48Speaker 1: that was a big old mass. Every public defender in
- 21:50Speaker 1: the courthouse ranto the courtroom with seeing me getting handcuffed. Um.
- 21:54Speaker 1: But back to the story, she even took the children
- 21:58Speaker 1: on the on the weekend, and when I wasn't with
- 22:01Speaker 1: them on the weekend, to the defense office to recant
- 22:06Speaker 1: their stories. Dr Chloe, I don't understand it. Why would
- 22:11Speaker 1: a mother, in the face of all this evidence side
- 22:15Speaker 1: with the boyfriend? Fancy, I hear you loud and clear. Um,
- 22:19Speaker 1: you know, it's just I would I would have been
- 22:21Speaker 1: getting arrested right there with you in a situation like that. UM,
- 22:24Speaker 1: with with the mother in this type of situation. UM,
- 22:27Speaker 1: there's a lot of, you know, potential reasons, although I
- 22:30Speaker 1: don't believe any of it really ever fully explains the
- 22:33Speaker 1: way that a mother could abandon and really act as
- 22:36Speaker 1: an accessory, you know, to this terrible abuse of her
- 22:39Speaker 1: own children. UM. You know, in many cases like this,
- 22:42Speaker 1: the mother was abused herself. UM. It's also possible sometimes
- 22:46Speaker 1: that you know, perhaps even do it to our own
- 22:48Speaker 1: history of abuse, that the mom can take on almost
- 22:51Speaker 1: more of a childlike role, um, you know, to the abuser. UM.
- 22:55Speaker 1: There's also times when I believe it or not, the
- 22:58Speaker 1: mom gets a little bit of of a sick thrill. Um.
- 23:01Speaker 1: You know, and again we're talking about somebody who could herself,
- 23:04Speaker 1: you know, be a very sick person. Um. But there
- 23:07Speaker 1: there is a certain amount of power that a woman
- 23:10Speaker 1: gains when she, uh provides a gateway to a man
- 23:14Speaker 1: like this to her children. As if we can all imagine,
- 23:16Speaker 1: it's not very many women that would stand by and
- 23:19Speaker 1: allow this to happen. So in a very strange and
- 23:21Speaker 1: sick way, the mother actually takes on a lot of power.
- 23:25Speaker 1: It's also possible, um, you know, from what I understand,
- 23:28Speaker 1: that there was a custody battle. Uh, It's also possible
- 23:31Speaker 1: that you know, she was afraid that by revealing that
- 23:33Speaker 1: this had happened, that she might stand, you know, to
- 23:36Speaker 1: lose her children. From what I understand, there were also
- 23:39Speaker 1: you know, a lot of you know, drugs, heroine and
- 23:42Speaker 1: things like that in the home. It's also possible that
- 23:45Speaker 1: she was so focused on her own issues. I can
- 23:48Speaker 1: see the drugs clouding her mind if in fact she
- 23:51Speaker 1: was using them. We don't know that. But Dr Chloe,
- 23:54Speaker 1: to choose keeping custody over protecting your child, and if
- 23:59Speaker 1: you want to keep custody and you don't want to
- 24:01Speaker 1: lose custody to the father, then kick the boyfriend out.
- 24:05Speaker 1: The two choices you're not live with a boyfriend molesting
- 24:08Speaker 1: your child or lose your children. The answer is turn
- 24:12Speaker 1: your boyfriend into police and kick his sorry rearian out
- 24:15Speaker 1: of the house and get a TCO on him to
- 24:17Speaker 1: never come back. Yeah. I agree. In fact, it makes
- 24:20Speaker 1: it in many ways even more inexcusable because she obviously
- 24:24Speaker 1: the father was, you know, standing right there. I don't know,
- 24:26Speaker 1: you know why he didn't have any custody, but there
- 24:29Speaker 1: was apparently other, you know, viable options if for some
- 24:32Speaker 1: reason she felt unable or unwilling to cut off her
- 24:34Speaker 1: connection to this man. Joining me is Alexis Dress Chuck
- 24:38Speaker 1: writer online dot com. Joseph Scott Morgan, death investigator and
- 24:42Speaker 1: professor forensics at Jacksonville State University. Dr Chlobe Carmichael, New
- 24:47Speaker 1: York psychologist, founder of Anxiety Tools dot com. Troit Slayton,
- 24:52Speaker 1: UH veteran defense attorney joining me out of l A
- 24:55Speaker 1: and Ashley Willcot child advocate. Okay out to Troy Slaton
- 25:00Speaker 1: defense attorney joining me. What we have right here are
- 25:03Speaker 1: charging documents with a case file. UH. They have not
- 25:07Speaker 1: been proven. These allegations have not been proven. But the
- 25:10Speaker 1: witness states who is in a position to know what's
- 25:14Speaker 1: going on in the home that this occurs. Troy, there's
- 25:18Speaker 1: no allegation of murder at this point, Nancy. We have
- 25:22Speaker 1: unlawful disposition of a body, we have larceny, we have
- 25:28Speaker 1: moving a body, but we do not have a murder case.
- 25:32Speaker 1: So this poor young girl is dead. We don't know
- 25:35Speaker 1: who did it. Uh, Troy Alan, could you check his
- 25:40Speaker 1: connection because he must not have heard me correctly. We're
- 25:44Speaker 1: talking about Child Protective Services documents that we have obtained
- 25:50Speaker 1: that alleged through an eyewitness that the living boyfriend, Earl Kimry,
- 25:55Speaker 1: was methodically abusing, sexually abusing this three year old little girl,
- 26:01Speaker 1: and that the mother knew. That's what the charging documents say.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I'm repeating what I see informal documents. I'm not talking
- 26:09Speaker 1: about a murder charge. But I do assume you're familiar
- 26:12Speaker 1: with the theory of felony murder, are you not? Troy Slayton.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. If you commit uh crime of felony and
- 26:21Speaker 1: somebody dies, even if it's not the direct approximate cause
- 26:26Speaker 1: of what you did, you're guilty of murder. Well, would
- 26:28Speaker 1: you agree with me Troy Slayton, that felony child neglect
- 26:32Speaker 1: would constitute an underlying felony for a charge of felony murder,
- 26:38Speaker 1: possibly unless it's too attenuated. Just because you commit a
- 26:43Speaker 1: felony doesn't mean that that felony was part and parcel
- 26:47Speaker 1: of the death. Troy, you just said in your last sentence.
- 26:52Speaker 1: You just said the felony does not have to be
- 26:57Speaker 1: particularly related to the death. I e. You and I
- 27:01Speaker 1: go into rob a bank. I get crazy and I
- 27:04Speaker 1: gunned down Alan Duke. You didn't even know I had
- 27:08Speaker 1: a gun. Guess what you're in for? Felony murder. You
- 27:11Speaker 1: just wanted it's some easy money. You didn't want any bullets. Bam,
- 27:16Speaker 1: it's done, it's over. In fact, doesn't mean what I
- 27:20Speaker 1: commit the If I hold up a liquor store the
- 27:23Speaker 1: day before, and then the next day you go and
- 27:28Speaker 1: rob a bank and we happened to live with each other,
- 27:31Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I'm guilty of the murder that
- 27:33Speaker 1: happened at the bank. Let's hypothesize in this scenario, clearly
- 27:37Speaker 1: what we're talking about is child neglect. If these documents
- 27:42Speaker 1: are true that the mother knew the child was being
- 27:45Speaker 1: neglected and if the mother knew the boyfriend, her boyfriend,
- 27:51Speaker 1: her lover was molesting her three year old daughter, and
- 27:56Speaker 1: she allowed that situation, that neglect to go on, and
- 28:00Speaker 1: during that neglect, the child ends up dead. Are you
- 28:04Speaker 1: telling me with a straight face, Troy Slaton, that would
- 28:07Speaker 1: not be felony murder in that exact situation, that could
- 28:12Speaker 1: potentially make make a case for felony murder. Man, you're slipper.
- 28:15Speaker 1: We don't feel feel like a greased pig. Have you
- 28:18Speaker 1: ever tried to catch a pig? Troy Slaton? Because my
- 28:22Speaker 1: dad and my uncle uncle rabbit. But my dad would
- 28:26Speaker 1: get home at night if I'm working on the railroad, Hey,
- 28:30Speaker 1: and my uncle my uncle convinced him to start a
- 28:32Speaker 1: pig farm, and when they would get home, my dad
- 28:36Speaker 1: would have to get out of the car and go
- 28:38Speaker 1: chase pigs that got loose. And they're slippery, they're not
- 28:41Speaker 1: easy to catch. They're filthy, they smell, and they're typically
- 28:44Speaker 1: covered with wet mud. Okay, Troy, not to suggest that
- 28:48Speaker 1: you are a pig or bovine in any way, but
- 28:51Speaker 1: you're extremely slippery. I had to nail you down. Nail
- 28:55Speaker 1: you down on that. I'm talking about a felony murder.
- 28:59Speaker 1: And again, nobody, not the mother, not the boyfriend, had
- 29:03Speaker 1: been charged with murder. The mom is not a person
- 29:05Speaker 1: of interest, She is not a suspect at all. Is
- 29:09Speaker 1: it's because we don't know the cause or manner of
- 29:13Speaker 1: death at this point. Well, I can tell you this much.
- 29:16Speaker 1: She didn't sneak out to Joseph Scott Morgan, death investigator,
- 29:20Speaker 1: the three year old girl that walked with braces did
- 29:22Speaker 1: not walk out completely naked except for her pink and
- 29:26Speaker 1: white undy's, without her leg braces, gets on her own
- 29:30Speaker 1: own and throw herself at the bottom of a creek. No,
- 29:34Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, that is uh not possible. And I
- 29:39Speaker 1: think that right now we're waiting to find out exactly
- 29:42Speaker 1: what her cause of death is, Uh, Nancy, And this
- 29:45Speaker 1: is this is a big issue here. Uh she was found,
- 29:48Speaker 1: as you stated, at the bottom of the creek. Why
- 29:50Speaker 1: would somebody drive that far away to dispose of a
- 29:55Speaker 1: body from this little girl's home over twenty plus miles.
- 30:00Speaker 1: One of the things that the m E is going
- 30:01Speaker 1: to be looking at here along with the FBI, is
- 30:05Speaker 1: a dearth of evidence both at the primary scene, which
- 30:08Speaker 1: would be the home, and then where the body was found.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Um they had called a dive team, Nancy, which implies
- 30:15Speaker 1: that this child was at the bottom of a body
- 30:18Speaker 1: of water. Wasn't just simply she wasn't just simply floating
- 30:21Speaker 1: in in the water. Um, I'm wondering, was she submerged?
- 30:25Speaker 1: Was she uh weighted down and placed into this body
- 30:30Speaker 1: of water? And how does somebody know about this isolated
- 30:33Speaker 1: area where the body was found. One of the things
- 30:35Speaker 1: that that I'm really scratching my head over is did
- 30:39Speaker 1: the individual that was involved in this, whoever brought about
- 30:44Speaker 1: her death? Um, did they take this poor little angel
- 30:48Speaker 1: out so far away to do something so horrible to
- 30:51Speaker 1: this child that they want to complete in total privacy,
- 30:54Speaker 1: and then to do away with evidence. They would take
- 30:57Speaker 1: this individual child and submer urch her in a body
- 31:00Speaker 1: of evidence, to try to get away from fiber, to
- 31:03Speaker 1: try to get away from DNA evidence, all these kinds
- 31:05Speaker 1: of things. Uh, the FBI is keeping a tight little this.
- 31:09Speaker 1: I don't expect us to hear anything from the FBI. However,
- 31:13Speaker 1: I believe that shortly we will get a cause of
- 31:16Speaker 1: death from the medical examiner, and Uh that's gonna give
- 31:20Speaker 1: us far more information. Hopefully they'll be able to tell
- 31:23Speaker 1: us what type of trauma was found on the body.
- 31:27Speaker 1: And also, and this is this is one of these
- 31:29Speaker 1: things that kind of kind of chills you to your bones.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Um was she drowned in that water? In other words,
- 31:37Speaker 1: what she held down hold on just got mark. If
- 31:39Speaker 1: you look at the search warrant that was used as
- 31:42Speaker 1: the basis for arresting the boyfriend for obstruction, it says
- 31:46Speaker 1: he took the dead body out of the home. I
- 31:50Speaker 1: believe it's what it said. So whatever happened to her
- 31:55Speaker 1: happened in the home. Look at the search warrant, Joe
- 31:57Speaker 1: Scott and read it and see if you understand the
- 31:59Speaker 1: same way I do, because you know, we can both
- 32:02Speaker 1: look at a fact scenario and see completely completely different thing.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Look at it real quick while I go to Alexis.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Alexis Tourez Chuck, investigative reporter for Writer online dot com.
- 32:13Speaker 1: What do we know about the temperature the night Maria
- 32:16Speaker 1: went missing? So this is winter in the South. It
- 32:20Speaker 1: was about forty degrees that night, which is cold. I
- 32:23Speaker 1: live in California, so those are different for me. But
- 32:25Speaker 1: I grew up in North Carolina, and that is cold
- 32:27Speaker 1: at night in the fourties. And in fact, there were
- 32:30Speaker 1: pictures the next day of the mom with Mariah's sibling
- 32:34Speaker 1: and he was wearing a little winter coat. So this
- 32:37Speaker 1: is the this is winter. This is not a warm,
- 32:40Speaker 1: balmy summer night at all. So this little girl had
- 32:42Speaker 1: only her underwear on, only her little pink and white
- 32:44Speaker 1: striped underwear. It was too cold for anybody to be without.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Alexis that water and that creek was so cold on
- 32:53Speaker 1: that little baby girl. I want you to hear what
- 32:57Speaker 1: has just happened. This guy has not been charged with
- 33:00Speaker 1: murder to live in boyfriend, but he was very briefly
- 33:05Speaker 1: in court and we have the sound listen. We are
- 33:08Speaker 1: still investigating, leads, were still doing interviews. There are many
- 33:13Speaker 1: other things that need to be um considered, the possibility
- 33:17Speaker 1: of future charge as well. You know, we're not going
- 33:19Speaker 1: to talk about those things at this point. We have
- 33:22Speaker 1: been in constant contact with our District attorney's office and
- 33:27Speaker 1: uh he has provided us guidance about where to go,
- 33:30Speaker 1: how to go further on. That was Earl Kimry in
- 33:33Speaker 1: court and he's heading back to court. We believe that
- 33:36Speaker 1: there will be additional charges, possibly additional defendants. That's what
- 33:40Speaker 1: we think right now. But as of right now, nobody's
- 33:44Speaker 1: charged with murder, nobody's charged with homicide. The mother remains
- 33:49Speaker 1: not a person of interest and not a suspect. I
- 33:52Speaker 1: want to thank our partner who is joining us today

- 35:40Speaker 1: the disappearance of baby Mariah. This is also County Sheriff
- 35:44Speaker 1: Hans Miller. Take a listen as he advises many quote
- 35:49Speaker 1: things are being considered future charges and he is being
- 35:53Speaker 1: guided by the district attorney. Listen. Oh Jardon used this
- 36:01Speaker 1: specifically and seeing the unnatural death arseny out writing an
- 36:08Speaker 1: interim second for the garden, reading and possession of Fellow.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Good for you under seeing all those charges all, and
- 36:16Speaker 1: also when I spoke in depth on several occasions to
- 36:21Speaker 1: Mariah's dad regarding when investigators have actually told him about
- 36:25Speaker 1: how Mariah was killed. This is what he tells me.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Have they told you how they think she was killed? Alex, No,
- 36:35Speaker 1: not yet. They as soon as they found her body,
- 36:41Speaker 1: they rush Greenville, North Carolina. Well, they was gonna perform
- 36:46Speaker 1: the alk topsy and I'll find out further information. How when? Why? Why? Howard?
- 36:54Speaker 1: When all that information? Alex? Do they believe that Riah
- 37:00Speaker 1: was molested? I have not. I do not know that me.
- 37:05Speaker 1: They can I have, yes, I think so. I hope pray,
- 37:12Speaker 1: not just for the peace of mind, but I think so. Yes.
- 37:16Speaker 1: I have not heard that from nobody, because you know,
- 37:19Speaker 1: they're now just doing the alcosics. So I don't know, Alex.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Was she clothed when she was found? I had no idea.
- 37:26Speaker 1: They did not tell me. All they told me was
- 37:28Speaker 1: that they found my battle girl. They frowned Mariah about
- 37:34Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from where we're at, twenty minutes away
- 37:41Speaker 1: from our home. I guess because TROYE. Layton, veteran defense attorney,
- 37:47Speaker 1: joining me out of l a take off your defense
- 37:49Speaker 1: hat just for a moment, I guess We're all trying
- 37:51Speaker 1: to figure out why. And the father was saying that
- 37:55Speaker 1: he had he has suspicions that Mariah was molested. He
- 38:00Speaker 1: doesn't know because we're we're trying to figure out why
- 38:04Speaker 1: would someone do this kill a three year old little girl, Troy.
- 38:09Speaker 1: And of course the state doesn't have to prove a motive.
- 38:12Speaker 1: But you know, really not just juries, but people in
- 38:15Speaker 1: general look for why, they look for the answer Troy.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Of course, Nancy, jurors want to know why somebody did
- 38:24Speaker 1: something that is so heinous that they couldn't imagine it
- 38:29Speaker 1: happening in their own lives. But back to the father here,
- 38:32Speaker 1: he had visitation rights, he had the lawful ability to
- 38:36Speaker 1: see his daughter, and he hadn't seen her for a year.
- 38:39Speaker 1: So he says that the reason why he didn't try
- 38:43Speaker 1: and get full custody was because he couldn't afford a lawyer. Well,
- 38:48Speaker 1: that just doesn't hold water for me, Nancy, because there
- 38:51Speaker 1: are family court facilitators, there are low uh and free
- 38:57Speaker 1: legal services that are available to people, and is absolutely free.
- 39:02Speaker 1: If he thinks that somebody was harming his daughter, he
- 39:05Speaker 1: could have called the authorities immediately and started investigation or
- 39:09Speaker 1: child protective services if you didn't think there was an
- 39:12Speaker 1: immediate threat. So I just am not buying the story
- 39:16Speaker 1: about the father who seems to be just piling on now,
- 39:21Speaker 1: Troy Latton has just pointed a finger at the biological
- 39:25Speaker 1: father who was nowhere near the home where the child
- 39:30Speaker 1: was murdered, was killed and then thrown at the bottom
- 39:34Speaker 1: of a creek. In fact, he was the one out
- 39:36Speaker 1: looking for her. You know, Alexis Toures, writer online dot
- 39:40Speaker 1: Com investigative reporter, Alexis, that you just saw and Stark
- 39:46Speaker 1: start reality. How defense attorneys no offense? Latton play Look here,
- 39:52Speaker 1: not there, don't look at the facts, look over here,
- 39:54Speaker 1: don't look at the suspect, look at this, look at this.
- 39:58Speaker 1: I don't give a flying fig Why what was going
- 40:01Speaker 1: on in the custody battle? I care about who killed
- 40:04Speaker 1: this baby? And you can bring up what the father,
- 40:07Speaker 1: what he didn't do, you know, Alexis, I don't know
- 40:09Speaker 1: if I've told you the story. Do you know when
- 40:11Speaker 1: I started law skiol, Alexis, I was planning to be
- 40:14Speaker 1: a Shakespearean literature professor. I didn't know a criminal case
- 40:18Speaker 1: from the hole in the ground. I had to look
- 40:21Speaker 1: up the words plaintiff and defendant. And I remember I
- 40:26Speaker 1: was with my sister, she was a professor at Wharton
- 40:28Speaker 1: at the time, and um my fiance had just been murdered,
- 40:33Speaker 1: and I first time I'd ever been on a plane.
- 40:36Speaker 1: I flew to Philadelphia and stayed with her for a while,
- 40:40Speaker 1: and I looked up the words plaintiff and defendant. I
- 40:44Speaker 1: didn't even know what they were. Now, Alexis, I had
- 40:48Speaker 1: a degree in English with a concentration on Shakespeare, and
- 40:55Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the legal system. You want
- 40:59Speaker 1: to tell me, Alect this that everybody out there knows
- 41:04Speaker 1: what to do when you're in the middle of a
- 41:06Speaker 1: bitter custody fight and you're not getting along with your
- 41:09Speaker 1: spouse and they're threatening you, when you're having fights and
- 41:13Speaker 1: they don't know what to do. And when he he
- 41:16Speaker 1: says he has no money, I believe that the life
- 41:20Speaker 1: is tough and people are on He could be on
- 41:22Speaker 1: really tough times. Lawyers cost a lot of money. And
- 41:25Speaker 1: to know that there are free services out there, how
- 41:27Speaker 1: is he going to know that where people free lawyers
- 41:29Speaker 1: are not. I really do not think this is the
- 41:33Speaker 1: time to pile on the dad talk about piling on.
- 41:38Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to lose the thing
- 41:40Speaker 1: you love the most, and to now say you should have,
- 41:45Speaker 1: could have, would have that you screwed up. It's your fault.
- 41:48Speaker 1: It's not his fault. He did not do this thing.
- 41:52Speaker 1: It's not his fault. And I really really think that's wrong.
- 42:00Speaker 1: Delay the blame anywhere other than at the feet of
- 42:04Speaker 1: the killer just got Morgan. Please explain what we know
- 42:09Speaker 1: about the way this child, this baby was found dead.
- 42:15Speaker 1: She can imagine, Nancy. She's over twenty miles away from
- 42:19Speaker 1: whatever security she might have perceived, her mother, out in
- 42:23Speaker 1: the woods and a body of water cold. We have
- 42:29Speaker 1: no idea what the cause of death is, but she died,
- 42:33Speaker 1: I can guarantee you in terror and horror, and the
- 42:39Speaker 1: warrant itself states that she died of something other than
- 42:44Speaker 1: natural causes. I can tell you this three year old.
- 42:47Speaker 1: Little girls don't just spontaneously die. And if what is
- 42:52Speaker 1: true that has previously been stated about the sexual abuse
- 42:57Speaker 1: allegedly a man, this tiny little angel is living in
- 43:02Speaker 1: fear of her life, not knowing these people that are
- 43:06Speaker 1: in custody of her, that have responsibility over her little life.
- 43:11Speaker 1: She lives in fear that some savage is going to
- 43:14Speaker 1: come creeping into her bedroom and it's going to assault
- 43:19Speaker 1: her in the middle of the night. It's absolutely, absolutely horrible.
- 43:24Speaker 1: And we're gonna have a much more detailed picture painted
- 43:27Speaker 1: for this very very soon when the Medical examin releases
- 43:30Speaker 1: its findings. Dr Chloe Carmichael joining me from New York,
- 43:36Speaker 1: founder of Anxiety tools dot Com. You know, Dr Chloe,
- 43:40Speaker 1: I have represented as a prosecutor so many grown women
- 43:46Speaker 1: rape victims and sex assault victims, and I see what
- 43:49Speaker 1: they have gone through and and their life is never
- 43:53Speaker 1: the same. Yes, yes, yes they go on. They sold
- 43:56Speaker 1: her on, But I always compare it to have being
- 44:00Speaker 1: a broken arm that you don't get set. You learn
- 44:02Speaker 1: to flip a pancake. Like my mom. She's riddle with
- 44:07Speaker 1: Arthur writ As, she's got all sorts of elments. But
- 44:09Speaker 1: she was a classic trained classical pianist and play the
- 44:13Speaker 1: cello in the symphony. And I watch her play the piano.
- 44:20Speaker 1: She can't move her shoulder, but she still can play
- 44:22Speaker 1: a little bit. These women go on, but it's never
- 44:26Speaker 1: the same. Can you imagine what it's like for a
- 44:31Speaker 1: three year old child to be molested? Just let your
- 44:36Speaker 1: mind go there. See, that's the only way I could
- 44:38Speaker 1: get through a lot of my cases is don't let
- 44:40Speaker 1: my mind go to that moment. But let your mind
- 44:43Speaker 1: go to the moment where a three year old little
- 44:45Speaker 1: girl is in bed, the mom is in the next room,
- 44:50Speaker 1: and the live in comes in and molest you. Now,
- 44:57Speaker 1: I know what it does to ladies, grand ladies. I've
- 45:01Speaker 1: dealt with so many childless station victims. I don't even
- 45:04Speaker 1: know how many I've represented. But they can't verbalize the
- 45:09Speaker 1: way adults can. Can you imagine that? Dr Chloe Nancy? No,
- 45:16Speaker 1: I mean, it is, it's unimaginable. It's it's really beyond
- 45:19Speaker 1: comprehension because it is it's just outside the bounds of
- 45:23Speaker 1: what we consider normal behavior for for a reason. So
- 45:28Speaker 1: what the three year old, what she went through, of course,
- 45:31Speaker 1: in and of itself is a is a terrible trauma.
- 45:34Speaker 1: But then as well, the fact that it appears that
- 45:37Speaker 1: it had been going on, Um, I'm guessing it wasn't
- 45:40Speaker 1: the first time, you know that there was the police
- 45:42Speaker 1: report that a witnessed in the home had had seen
- 45:46Speaker 1: the live and put his penis in her mouth. If
- 45:48Speaker 1: he was doing that in eyesight of other people, that
- 45:52Speaker 1: suggests that this probably had been going on, you know,
- 45:55Speaker 1: for for some time. And so for the little girl
- 45:58Speaker 1: to not only experience the trauma, but to have a
- 46:01Speaker 1: scene and witnessed by other people, possibly even including her mother,
- 46:06Speaker 1: who did nothing to stop it becomes a trauma on
- 46:10Speaker 1: top of a trauma, and I will say it also
- 46:13Speaker 1: becomes what we call a trauma for the secondary victims
- 46:16Speaker 1: who are also UM. You know, other children that may
- 46:19Speaker 1: have been in the home and been aware of this
- 46:21Speaker 1: because they're put it in a terrible position because their mom,
- 46:25Speaker 1: if she in some way knew about it, is implicitly
- 46:28Speaker 1: sending the message, UM, you know that you better not.
- 46:31Speaker 1: I agree with Dr Chloe. I know that my mother,
- 46:34Speaker 1: when I was a child exactly this age. Joe Scott,
- 46:37Speaker 1: you've heard me tell the story before three, risked her
- 46:41Speaker 1: own life to save my life. I mean, you look
- 46:46Speaker 1: to your mother two protect you from everything UM. Our
- 46:54Speaker 1: program today would not be possible without our partners. I
- 46:58Speaker 1: really can't thank you enough for joining us, and I

- 47:33Speaker 1: good before we went to sleep. They know the world
- 47:37Speaker 1: of internet, but they are parts of the Internet. I
- 47:39Speaker 1: don't want them there. I don't want them. It's dangerous
- 47:42Speaker 1: and it's hard to monitor what they're doing online. There's
- 47:45Speaker 1: a lot of complicated, technical, expensive solutions that can require
- 47:49Speaker 1: some tech pro to come to your home and stall
- 47:52Speaker 1: hardware and software that affects everybody in the family. But
- 47:55Speaker 1: here's the answer. It's Circle with Disney. It's a little
