Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Somebody knows something well. Truer
- 0:18Speaker 1: words were never spoken. And then in the case of
- 0:22Speaker 1: a boy in a suitcase, a little boy, a beautiful
- 0:28Speaker 1: little boy literally found in a suitcase dead. When the
- 0:35Speaker 1: case first hit the headlines, it was quite the furor.
- 0:40Speaker 1: A classic Las Vegas Welcome to Las Vegas suitcase with
- 0:45Speaker 1: the iconic sticker on the side was found seemingly out
- 0:49Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere in the woods in Salem, Indiana,
- 0:53Speaker 1: his small body stuffed into a Welcome to the Fabulous
- 0:56Speaker 1: Las Vegas suitcase? Is this real? The prime suspect, his
- 1:04Speaker 1: mom still on the run. An entire year after this
- 1:10Speaker 1: taught's body found stuffed in a suitcase. I mean to see, Grace,
- 1:16Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us
- 1:18Speaker 1: here at Foxcination in Serious XM one eleven. I will
- 1:22Speaker 1: never forget it. This little child, beautiful little boy, found
- 1:28Speaker 1: dehydration the cause of death caused by gastro territis. What
- 1:35Speaker 1: a painful and slow suffering death this five year old
- 1:41Speaker 1: boy had. And now we know who is the purp.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The purp is his own mother. Why is she still
- 1:50Speaker 1: on the run? How is she able to outsmart police, FBI,
- 1:55Speaker 1: bounty hunters, dog trackers, the works, or are are they
- 2:00Speaker 1: simply not focusing on apprehending her as a little five
- 2:05Speaker 1: year old boy somehow lost in the shuffle. It's his
- 2:10Speaker 1: life less important than other people's. Do you remember the
- 2:16Speaker 1: man hunt or should I say woman hunt for Caitlin
- 2:20Speaker 1: Armstrong accused of gunning down a beautiful pro cycler Mariah
- 2:28Speaker 1: because of a love triangle. They trunck Armstrong down all
- 2:32Speaker 1: the way in disguise in Costa Rica. Oh yeah, they
- 2:35Speaker 1: found her because it was the high profile case. But
- 2:38Speaker 1: seemingly nobody cares about this little four feet tall, slim built,
- 2:44Speaker 1: short hair little boy for so long an unknown angel.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Listen to our friend's whas now.
- 2:54Speaker 2: The discovery was made by a person hunting for mushrooms
- 2:57Speaker 2: over the weekend. Also new today, autopsy was performed. We
- 3:01Speaker 2: do know that police day the boy is only five
- 3:03Speaker 2: to eight years old. They had that he could have
- 3:05Speaker 2: been from anywhere, not just southern Indiana. Investigators say they
- 3:09Speaker 2: have been searching the wooded area where the boy was found,
- 3:11Speaker 2: but the information has not led them to any answers.
- 3:14Speaker 1: And that is how the mystery, the puzzle began. But
- 3:19Speaker 1: I'm still overwhelmed by just the words. A little boy
- 3:24Speaker 1: folded up dead in a suitcase, a Vegas suitcase found
- 3:29Speaker 1: in Indiana, but they have no idea where this little
- 3:33Speaker 1: boy was from. Take a listen to our friends at
- 3:36Speaker 1: wd RB right now.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Indiana State Please isn't giving too many details on this case,
- 3:42Speaker 3: but investigators do believe that somebody out there knows something
- 3:45Speaker 3: that can help them figure out who this child wants.
- 3:48Speaker 4: We are looking for the public's help and finding out
- 3:50Speaker 4: the name of this child, this little boy who deserves answers.
- 3:53Speaker 5: He deserves our help.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Sergeant Carrie Hols said Saturday night, a mushroom hunter in
- 3:58Speaker 3: the woods in rural Washington County discovered the body of
- 4:01Speaker 3: a young boy.
- 4:02Speaker 4: He noticed something and went to investigate, and that's what
- 4:04Speaker 4: he found. So very disturbing, very shocking, very traumatic event,
- 4:08Speaker 4: very sad event.
- 4:09Speaker 6: The man who found this boy, Jeff Meridith, is in
- 4:12Speaker 6: agony knowing he was one of the last people to
- 4:16Speaker 6: see this child's face.
- 4:17Speaker 5: When I first saw that little fella, immediately I felt
- 4:22Speaker 5: that he was telling me, help me, I need help.
- 4:29Speaker 1: It sounds like it's out of an Agatha Christie mystery.
- 4:33Speaker 1: A mushroom hunter, how likely is that? Very unlikely? Finds
- 4:39Speaker 1: a suitcase, opens a suitcase and finds a little boy
- 4:44Speaker 1: dead inside. The first place you start is what was
- 4:47Speaker 1: the cod cause of death? Listen, our friends, whas eleven, a.
- 4:51Speaker 7: Boy found dead in southern Indiana, remains nameless. His story
- 4:55Speaker 7: and the suitcase he was found in have gained national attention,
- 4:59Speaker 7: hundreds tips submitted and still no answers except for one.
- 5:04Speaker 6: We now know how the boy died.
- 5:06Speaker 4: At this time, there's no evidence, then leads investigators to
- 5:10Speaker 4: believe that he was alive when he went into the suitcase.
- 5:12Speaker 6: Sergeant Carrie Hole says investigators got the autopsy and toxicology
- 5:17Speaker 6: reports on May twentieth, seven days later, they share this
- 5:21Speaker 6: unnamed boy died from an electrolyte imbalance.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Most likely due to gastro enteritis, which in common Layman's
- 5:29Speaker 4: term would be vomiting in diarrhea and that resulted in
- 5:32Speaker 4: dehydration fatal dehydration.
- 5:35Speaker 6: And he says the toxicology report found nothing significant.
- 5:38Speaker 1: So if a little boy dies of vomiting and diarrhea,
- 5:43Speaker 1: nobody noticed that he was vomiting and had horrible diarrhea
- 5:50Speaker 1: till he was being starved. There was nothing in him anymore,
- 5:54Speaker 1: and he just died. Where was he? And I guarantee
- 5:58Speaker 1: it and crawl into a suitcase and die and close
- 6:02Speaker 1: that suitcase and maneuver it into the woods in Indiana.
- 6:05Speaker 1: That didn't happen. So we have a cod cause of death,
- 6:08Speaker 1: but still no name. Well, that little boy now has
- 6:13Speaker 1: a name. Listen to our friends at the Indiana State Police.
- 6:18Speaker 4: At this time, we can also identify, excuse me, identify
- 6:23Speaker 4: the young man that was found in the suitcase.
- 6:26Speaker 1: He was Cairo Amar Jordan.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Cairo Amar Jordan was from Atlanta, Jordan, Georgia.
- 6:32Speaker 8: Excuse me.
- 6:33Speaker 4: He was five years old at the time of his
- 6:35Speaker 4: death and Cairo would have turned six on October twenty fourth. Again,
- 6:41Speaker 4: Cairo Amar Jordan, he was five from Atlanta, Georgia.
- 6:44Speaker 3: A man hunting for mushrooms made the discovery in Washington County,
- 6:48Speaker 3: Indiana on April sixteenth, but it wasn't until today that
- 6:51Speaker 3: investigators identified the little boy found inside as Cairo Jordan
- 6:56Speaker 3: from Metro Atlanta. People who live in that Indiana community
- 6:59Speaker 3: have weeded since bring for answers. They named the child Angel,
- 7:02Speaker 3: and strangers were overcome with emotion as they held this
- 7:05Speaker 3: memorial service forty six days after his body was found.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Now their local mystery has turned into a nationwide search
- 7:12Speaker 3: to find the child's mother.
- 7:14Speaker 1: You were just hearing our friends at WSB too as
- 7:16Speaker 1: well and with me an all star panel to make
- 7:18Speaker 1: sense of what we know right now, including Max Lewis
- 7:22Speaker 1: from Fox fifty nine in Indianapolis. But first I want
- 7:25Speaker 1: to go to Detective Matt Busick joining us from the
- 7:30Speaker 1: Indiana State Police. Detective Busick, thank you for being with us, Yes, man,
- 7:34Speaker 1: thank you. Detective. Do you recall when you first learned,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I mean, let me ask you something off point. Do
- 7:42Speaker 1: you have children?
- 7:43Speaker 8: Yes? We do?
- 7:44Speaker 1: How many six? Actually I'm guessing one of those is
- 7:47Speaker 1: a little boy.
- 7:48Speaker 8: Yes, I have three boys and three girls.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Do you recall when you first learned, Detective Music, that
- 7:53Speaker 1: a five year old little boy weighed forty pounds was
- 7:59Speaker 1: found full, folded up dead in a Vegas suitcase.
- 8:04Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am. How I do you recall that?
- 8:06Speaker 1: Tell me about it?
- 8:07Speaker 9: Well, yes, it's very disturbing, Yes it is.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I pictured my own children. To doctor Thomas Plant joining me,
- 8:13Speaker 1: professor of psychology and Religious Studies, and you'll see why
- 8:18Speaker 1: he is so very critical in our discussion today. Adjunct
- 8:22Speaker 1: Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University, Editor of Spirituality and
- 8:27Speaker 1: Clinical Practice, author of Human Interaction with the Divine, Sacred Deceased,
- 8:33Speaker 1: Doctor Plant, thank you so much for being with us.
- 8:35Speaker 9: Well, thank you for inviting me.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Yes, sir. When I first heard about a five year
- 8:39Speaker 1: old boy folded over dead like an old coat in
- 8:43Speaker 1: a suitcase, abandoned, no idea where he came from, and
- 8:48Speaker 1: critically no one had reported him missing, all I could
- 8:53Speaker 1: think about were my children, John, David and Lucy at
- 8:55Speaker 1: age five, and how defenseless they were, Doctor Plant, does
- 9:02Speaker 1: the nature of crimes like this ever keep you from
- 9:09Speaker 1: a clearhead?
- 9:10Speaker 9: Well, of course, we're all emotional human beings, and we
- 9:13Speaker 9: all have emotional reactions, and we all can probably relate
- 9:17Speaker 9: as parents, like yourself, like myself, and like so many others,
- 9:21Speaker 9: to what would it be like to discover our own
- 9:25Speaker 9: child in such an awful, horrific condition, And so, of
- 9:31Speaker 9: course we always can relate, And yet we have to
- 9:35Speaker 9: be objective and thoughtful and try to do the best
- 9:38Speaker 9: we can to understand the situation and act accordingly.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Straight out to Max Lewis, joining us reporter with Fox
- 9:45Speaker 1: fifty nine in Indianapolis. Max. I'm sure you recall when
- 9:49Speaker 1: this Vegas suitcase was first discovered in Indianapolis. With obviously
- 9:54Speaker 1: you don't know whether the child is from Vegas or
- 9:56Speaker 1: Indianapolis or somewhere else.
- 9:58Speaker 10: It was shocking this kind of doesn't you know. We
- 10:01Speaker 10: don't see this kind of thing every day. We rarely
- 10:04Speaker 10: see this. And yeah, there were so many questions. It's
- 10:07Speaker 10: such a mystery. Where is this kid from? Why was
- 10:09Speaker 10: he found out in the woods in rural southern Indiana.
- 10:13Speaker 10: There were just so many questions for so long, and
- 10:16Speaker 10: police really, from what we could tell, had nothing to
- 10:19Speaker 10: go on. And luckily they were able, you know, to
- 10:22Speaker 10: find out some things and additionally give this this little
- 10:25Speaker 10: boy in the suitcase the name.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace. Remember a man who was
- 10:42Speaker 1: a mushroom hunting found the body of a little boy
- 10:45Speaker 1: in a secluded wooded area Washington County, about eighty feet
- 10:49Speaker 1: off a rural road in Indiana. It was April seventeen,
- 10:55Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, over one year ago. Police release in
- 11:00Speaker 1: the case asking for help to id the child or parents.
- 11:04Speaker 1: They announced a dedicated tip line for information one eight
- 11:08Speaker 1: eight eight four three seven six four three two. They
- 11:12Speaker 1: released information about the body about the suitcase. People living
- 11:16Speaker 1: there in New Peaking came together for a vigil to
- 11:19Speaker 1: show their support, praying his case would be solved. The
- 11:23Speaker 1: child died from electrolyte imbalance, mostly due to vomiting and
- 11:27Speaker 1: diarrhea leading to dehydration. The suffering this child endured. Steph Kramer,
- 11:36Speaker 1: how do you go about how did they identify the
- 11:40Speaker 1: body as little tyro.
- 11:42Speaker 11: In this particular case. I think it was a combination
- 11:45Speaker 11: of single prints that were on the suitcase. I think
- 11:49Speaker 11: that was the meaning.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right, Steve Kramer. Steve joining us
- 11:53Speaker 1: from Indago Solutions. Guys, take a listen to our friends
- 11:56Speaker 1: at w SB.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Thirty seven year old Dewan Anderson is now charged with
- 12:00Speaker 3: murder as.
- 12:01Speaker 4: That no crime scene evidence technologies were spared in this case.
- 12:06Speaker 3: According to court documents, police identified Anderson through fingerprints on
- 12:10Speaker 3: trash bags used to wrap the child's body, and autopsy
- 12:13Speaker 3: report shows Jordan did not suffer any signs of physical trauma.
- 12:17Speaker 4: The autopsy listed the cause of death as an electrolyte
- 12:20Speaker 4: imbalance that caused a viral gastroonitis.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is dehydration of Police believe after dumping
- 12:27Speaker 3: that body, that Anderson went to California with a woman
- 12:30Speaker 3: named Don Coleman. Investigators were able to arrest Coleman in
- 12:33Speaker 3: San Francisco, but they have yet to track down Anderson.
- 12:36Speaker 3: They are still looking for her.
- 12:38Speaker 1: So mommy's fingerprints, Steve Kramer, you called it, We're all
- 12:43Speaker 1: over that trash bag. So I guess then, Steve Kramer,
- 12:47Speaker 1: they find mommy and then they can deduce that it's
- 12:52Speaker 1: baby Tyro. Was that your thinking, Steve.
- 12:54Speaker 11: Yeah, Craig, that's I think the logical deducement. Once they
- 12:59Speaker 11: did some additional background information on Anderson, I think it
- 13:04Speaker 11: was clear that she was traveling apparently all over the
- 13:06Speaker 11: country with her child and with her friend Don Coleman,
- 13:11Speaker 11: whose fingerprints also I understand we're found on the suitcase.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Oh okay, right there, Wait a minute, So Max Lewis
- 13:19Speaker 1: joining us investigative reporter with Fox fifty nine. We know
- 13:24Speaker 1: that mommy and her friend, her running buddy, left fingerprints
- 13:31Speaker 1: all over the trash bag. But I mean, think about
- 13:36Speaker 1: that image putting the child in a trash bag and
- 13:42Speaker 1: in a suitcase and leaving it. Max Lewis, I want
- 13:47Speaker 1: you to take a listen to our friends WLKY and THHR.
- 13:52Speaker 12: On April fourteenth, investigators say cell phone towers and a
- 13:56Speaker 12: home security camera plased Anderson and Coleman in Pekin in Indiana,
- 14:00Speaker 12: near the wooded area where Jordan's body was found.
- 14:03Speaker 4: This whole case is all about justice for Cairo. That's
- 14:07Speaker 4: the only thing this case has ever been about.
- 14:09Speaker 13: Investigators found a fingerprint on a trash bag in the
- 14:12Speaker 13: suitcase with the boy's body in June. The fingerprint match
- 14:16Speaker 13: was made to thirty seven year old to one Andersenter.
- 14:19Speaker 13: Another fingerprint from the trash bag in the suitcase matched
- 14:22Speaker 13: forty year old Don Coleman. The cell phones of both
- 14:25Speaker 13: women placed them in the area of Peak in April fourteenth,
- 14:28Speaker 13: two days before the suitcase was found. Coleman's social media
- 14:32Speaker 13: accounts include photos and videos of her with a Las
- 14:35Speaker 13: Vegas suitcase.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Straight out to Max Lewis, so what role did cell
- 14:41Speaker 1: phone pings play and the identification of the mother as
- 14:47Speaker 1: a suspect.
- 14:48Speaker 10: It played a huge role the police. You know, they
- 14:51Speaker 10: were both in the Metro Louisville area for quite a while,
- 14:55Speaker 10: and so once they sort of you know, got their fingerprints,
- 15:00Speaker 10: made the connection to them. They started piecing all of
- 15:02Speaker 10: this stuff together. They had, as you heard, been criscrossing
- 15:06Speaker 10: the country together. Once they got into Louisville, they king there,
- 15:10Speaker 10: which is close to where this suitcase was found in
- 15:14Speaker 10: the wooded area, is not too far outside metro Louisville,
- 15:16Speaker 10: and they used those cell phone powers and were able
- 15:19Speaker 10: to show that they were in the exact vicinity where
- 15:22Speaker 10: that suitcase was found. Obviously no coincidence there.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And I bet anything jo Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics that
- 15:30Speaker 1: the two cell phones were traveling together, the devil and
- 15:33Speaker 1: the Devil's minion.
- 15:35Speaker 8: Yeah, how do you get two people to enter into
- 15:37Speaker 8: an agreement where they're going to do this to this
- 15:39Speaker 8: baby like this? And Nancy, I don't want to gloss
- 15:43Speaker 8: over this, this whole gastro enter ritis thing.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't either go ahead.
- 15:49Speaker 8: As horrible as as it sounds, it would have been
- 15:51Speaker 8: more more merciful if that even exists in this context,
- 15:56Speaker 8: to put this baby out of his misery. Gastro enter eyes.
- 15:59Speaker 8: Essentially what he had stomach flu and we can all
- 16:01Speaker 8: identify with that, but it was untreated. Nancy. You remember
- 16:05Speaker 8: when our babies were little and we'd go out and
- 16:06Speaker 8: get them pedia light perhaps or make the peda light
- 16:09Speaker 8: popsicles because they've got a tummy problem. And his bowel
- 16:13Speaker 8: was so inflamed, and that's what they found at autopsy.
- 16:16Speaker 8: That was what was evidence there. His bowel was so
- 16:19Speaker 8: inflamed that it led to his death and he would
- 16:22Speaker 8: have been vomiting. Plus he would have had severe stomach
- 16:25Speaker 8: cramps where he would be doubled over. And probably the
- 16:28Speaker 8: worst of this is that he would have had like
- 16:31Speaker 8: explosive bowel movements as well explosive diarrhea essentially, and he
- 16:36Speaker 8: was going, this is this is the horror. He's going untreated.
- 16:39Speaker 8: They couldn't even give this baby electrolytes, which he can
- 16:42Speaker 8: find in any number of things like pedia.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Light, or take him to the dock in a box,
- 16:47Speaker 1: no offense. All you MD's they hate being called that.
- 16:50Speaker 8: Yeah, it would have been It would have been that simple.
- 16:52Speaker 8: They could have just hung an IV on this baby
- 16:54Speaker 8: and he would have potentially survived.
- 16:57Speaker 1: But they stood by, sat by the two of these
- 17:00Speaker 1: women and let him suffer like that. Just think about
- 17:04Speaker 1: your intestines swollen, red, hurting. Why do you get that, J.
- 17:11Speaker 8: Scott, It's as a result of this absence of electrolytes.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Now, I mean, how do you get the diarrhea and
- 17:17Speaker 1: the uncontrolled vomiting to start with? Where does that come from?
- 17:21Speaker 8: Well, this is as a result of the viral gastroenterritis.
- 17:26Speaker 8: And they're saying viral. So he literally had some type
- 17:30Speaker 8: of virus in his body. Okay, like anra virus or
- 17:33Speaker 8: one of these things that floats around that leads to
- 17:36Speaker 8: a viral infection and many times it'll set in in
- 17:38Speaker 8: your gut like this. And so as you're losing all
- 17:42Speaker 8: of these fluids, he's becoming dehydrated, Nancy. So he's losing
- 17:45Speaker 8: these little electrolytes. And there's a variety of them. You've
- 17:48Speaker 8: got sodium and chloride and potassium. But basically they're kind
- 17:51Speaker 8: of the guardrails that keep our heart functioning, our brain functioning.
- 17:56Speaker 8: It keeps us you know, he could have had a seizure.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Well, Scott, sorry to interrupt you, but according to Mommy,
- 18:02Speaker 1: you're perfectly wrong. Oh really, because she believes it had
- 18:07Speaker 1: nothing to do with the virus and it had everything
- 18:10Speaker 1: to do with the devil. Take a listen to our cut.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Thirty three.
- 18:17Speaker 14: Wrnhas social media posts from both women that indicate they
- 18:23Speaker 14: thought the boy was demon possessed. Eight days before the
- 18:26Speaker 14: body was discovered, Coleman posted, nothing is what it seems,
- 18:30Speaker 14: and we are catering to evil beings and children avatars
- 18:34Speaker 14: that aren't even children, And five days before the body
- 18:37Speaker 14: was discovered, Anderson posted, I have survived the death attacks
- 18:41Speaker 14: from my five year old throughout the five years he
- 18:43Speaker 14: has been alive. I have been able to weaken his
- 18:46Speaker 14: powers through our blood.
- 18:47Speaker 6: The probable cause affidavit shows Anderson sent Facebook messages claiming
- 18:52Speaker 6: her son was a demon who tried to harm her.
- 18:54Speaker 6: She wrote to an Indiana pastor saying she believed he
- 18:57Speaker 6: was actually one hundred years old and she used blood
- 19:01Speaker 6: for some kind of exorcism. In reality, he was a
- 19:04Speaker 6: defenseless five year old boy.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Do I have to say the words? Lauri Valo called
- 19:10Speaker 1: mom Laurie Valo and her what was he? Jackie? Her
- 19:15Speaker 1: fourth or fifth husband, Chad Jabel, His wife mysteriously died
- 19:21Speaker 1: in her sleep. She was as healthy as a horse,
- 19:24Speaker 1: and she just ran a marathon and then she dies
- 19:27Speaker 1: in her sleep. Uh Uh, they killed her. It's a crutch,
- 19:32Speaker 1: using some completely opposite religion of what Christ intended. That
- 19:42Speaker 1: I'm an expert, but I'm pretty sure this is not
- 19:46Speaker 1: what he had in mind, calling your five year old
- 19:50Speaker 1: child the devil and demanding an exorcism. Both mommy Desjohn
- 19:56Speaker 1: Anderson and her friend Don Lane Coleman's fingerprints found on
- 20:02Speaker 1: the trash bag that in case baby Jordan's body. No
- 20:09Speaker 1: one is happy that a year after the fact, law
- 20:14Speaker 1: enforcement still actively seeking them other. But it just doesn't
- 20:18Speaker 1: make sense to me calling your five year old child
- 20:22Speaker 1: the devil and demanding an exorcism with us. Doctor Thomas Plant,
- 20:28Speaker 1: you heard him earlier, professor's Psychology and Religious Studies, Clinical
- 20:32Speaker 1: Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford and the
- 20:37Speaker 1: editor of Spirituality and Clinical Practice, author of Human Interaction
- 20:41Speaker 1: with the Divine, the Sacred, and the Deceased. Psychological Scientific
- 20:47Speaker 1: and Theological Perspectives, Doctor Plant, what do you make of this?
- 20:53Speaker 9: Well, you know, I think the bottom line is, you know,
- 20:56Speaker 9: psychopathology can be a really terrible and brutal thing, and
- 21:01Speaker 9: you can't diagnose someone from afar. But what it sounds
- 21:05Speaker 9: like is that this as what given the data that's
- 21:09Speaker 9: been presented, is that it sounds like this person has
- 21:12Speaker 9: a psychotic disorder. Perhaps it's schizophrenia, could be bipolar, could
- 21:17Speaker 9: be since she has another person involved with this. According
- 21:22Speaker 9: to the report, you would wonder about what's called a
- 21:25Speaker 9: shared delusional disorder or a felia do, where two people
- 21:30Speaker 9: share the same delusion.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Right, are you speaking French or Latin? Flee I do?
- 21:35Speaker 9: That's two le I do is French. It means a
- 21:38Speaker 9: folly of two, and that's a diagnosis, also called shared
- 21:43Speaker 9: delusional disorder.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Doctor Plant, I am just a JD. You are the
- 21:50Speaker 1: professor of psychology and religious studies. Hold on, it's so
- 21:54Speaker 1: much at once. Folly of two felei I do? And
- 21:58Speaker 1: you're because I can except that one person could be
- 22:01Speaker 1: schizophrenic or have some type of psychotic disorder, but two
- 22:05Speaker 1: of them together in the same room and they agree
- 22:09Speaker 1: to kill a baby and fold them up like a
- 22:12Speaker 1: blanket and put them in a suitcase. That to me
- 22:17Speaker 1: is unreasonable that there would be two people equally psychotic,
- 22:22Speaker 1: which leads me with one answer. They're murderers, they knew
- 22:27Speaker 1: what they were doing. They're hiding behind some crazy religious
- 22:30Speaker 1: belief and they're mean as hell.
- 22:32Speaker 9: Well, as I mentioned, you can't diagnose from afar. But
- 22:35Speaker 9: according to the American Psychiatric Association. There are a legitimate
- 22:42Speaker 9: diagnosis called FELIADU or now it's called shared delusional disorder,
- 22:46Speaker 9: and you do see it, and I've seen some of
- 22:47Speaker 9: those cases a lot.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Have you seen a lot of them?
- 22:50Speaker 9: No, No, it's pretty unusual, but it's there, just like
- 22:53Speaker 9: for example, schizophrenia affects maybe about one out of one
- 22:57Speaker 9: hundred people, which is a U, and felia DO or
- 23:01Speaker 9: she had delusional disorder would probably be about one out
- 23:04Speaker 9: of a thousand people or so. That may or may
- 23:07Speaker 9: not be the diagnosis. But I think the bottom line
- 23:10Speaker 9: is you've got major psychopathology here, and I think that's
- 23:13Speaker 9: probably pretty clear. And the question is, you know, what
- 23:19Speaker 9: do you do when you have a situation where people
- 23:22Speaker 9: have such severe disorders and they have children in their
- 23:28Speaker 9: possession or in their custody. That brings into issues of
- 23:33Speaker 9: you know, child protection and so forth, which are often
- 23:37Speaker 9: challenging to deal with. There was probably early signs. This
- 23:43Speaker 9: probably wasn't the first sign that this child was in trouble.
- 23:46Speaker 1: To State Chrimer, former FBI attorney, federal prosecutor, President, I
- 23:51Speaker 1: mean dogo solutions. You know what, I am a Christian,
- 23:57Speaker 1: I'm seeking the truth every day, try to live it.
- 24:01Speaker 1: But this theory of hiding behind your religion in order
- 24:08Speaker 1: to do horrible things, I'm not quite sure how to
- 24:11Speaker 1: call that out. And we see it all the time. Well,
- 24:15Speaker 1: I mentioned called mom Laurie Valo using her apocalyptic religious
- 24:20Speaker 1: beliefs and she gets slung up with Chad Dabel the prophet.
- 24:25Speaker 1: And for those of you that can't see me, I
- 24:27Speaker 1: absolutely used air quotes on that. And I've seen over
- 24:31Speaker 1: and over and over Steve Kramer, parents had some religious
- 24:36Speaker 1: belief and they ended up starving their children or beating
- 24:43Speaker 1: them all in the name of Dare I say it God?
- 24:48Speaker 1: And frankly, I mean I hear doctor Plant. I know
- 24:51Speaker 1: he's a lot smarter than me, for sure, but it
- 24:56Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense to me that a mother who
- 25:01Speaker 1: could drive hide her baby still on the land. By
- 25:05Speaker 1: the way, she's crazy, but she can elude police and
- 25:10Speaker 1: plan her next spot. She's still not caught. She's got
- 25:15Speaker 1: Indiana State troopers standing on their ears trying to find her.
- 25:19Speaker 1: There's a nationwide alert for her. So how crazy is she?
- 25:23Speaker 1: She crazy like a fox? Steve Kramer? Does she have
- 25:27Speaker 1: some psychosis? And if so, do you really believe both
- 25:33Speaker 1: of them are delusional. I heard what doctor Plant said
- 25:37Speaker 1: about Phillya. I do folly of two share delusional disorder,
- 25:43Speaker 1: not byen. I'd convict both of these women. Literally, their
- 25:48Speaker 1: fingerprints are all over the garbage bag. They stuff this
- 25:52Speaker 1: child into your turn, Cramer.
- 25:55Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean to call this a religion. Come on,
- 25:58Speaker 11: that's nonsense. I mean, this is you know.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Babbling, not you, doctor Plant, not you, No, no, no,
- 26:04Speaker 1: of course, know that the last thing I want to
- 26:07Speaker 1: do is get a preacher.
- 26:08Speaker 14: Matt.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Okay, I don't even need that in my life. Go ahead,
- 26:12Speaker 1: and Kramer, just let's make sure a doctor Plant knows
- 26:15Speaker 1: it's not about him. But what do you say exactly
- 26:18Speaker 1: what they're going to claim with trial if they're ever
- 26:20Speaker 1: both caught.
- 26:20Speaker 11: Go ahead exactly. I mean putting the stuff out on
- 26:24Speaker 11: Facebook and Twitter about you know, their child is you know,
- 26:28Speaker 11: an avatar and my child somehow possessed or I had
- 26:32Speaker 11: to do some healing and I had to do some killing.
- 26:36Speaker 11: I mean, the stuff they're saying, I mean, this is
- 26:38Speaker 11: actually unfortunately not that uncommon. You know, we see cases
- 26:42Speaker 11: like you mentioned the Lori Vallo Chad Dave Bell case
- 26:46Speaker 11: where she killed her own children. We see other cases
- 26:49Speaker 11: a lot of times when we find children, young children
- 26:53Speaker 11: like this, that are incapable of taking care of themselves,
- 26:57Speaker 11: that are abandoned someplace dead, the bodies. When we eventually
- 27:01Speaker 11: identify the parents, they are off with having some affair,
- 27:05Speaker 11: the child was an inconvenience, or they're on some drug
- 27:08Speaker 11: high again, the child's an inconvenience, So that aspect is
- 27:11Speaker 11: not really uncommon. And I think in this particular case,
- 27:16Speaker 11: I mean, you look at it. I mean she said
- 27:18Speaker 11: I had to do some healing and killing, and that
- 27:20Speaker 11: was around April twelfth, and the body was found two
- 27:24Speaker 11: days later, April fourteenth. And I was point out one
- 27:27Speaker 11: key thing with this, and you mentioned it earlier too, Nancy,
- 27:32Speaker 11: is they didn't think they were doing anything wrong. Then
- 27:36Speaker 11: why did to hide the baby or the five year
- 27:38Speaker 11: old in a suitcase and put it out in the field.
- 27:40Speaker 11: And why are they on the land now? What are
- 27:42Speaker 11: they running from? That they haven't done anything wrong. So
- 27:45Speaker 11: clearly she knows that she's done something wrong. But what
- 27:47Speaker 11: I find most interesting is her accomplice, John Coleman. They
- 27:52Speaker 11: were both wanted on warrants of neglect of a dependent
- 27:56Speaker 11: and obstruction of Justice, and woman was arrested on the
- 28:01Speaker 11: nineteenth of October. Less than a week later, those charges
- 28:05Speaker 11: were upgraded to murder against miss Anderson. So obviously she
- 28:11Speaker 11: probably said something to the police exactly what happened with
- 28:14Speaker 11: this child that allowed the police and the prosecutors to
- 28:17Speaker 11: upgrade the charges from neglect to murder.
- 28:19Speaker 1: And I mean, there's such a history Steve hiding behind
- 28:24Speaker 1: some kind of religion. Why your child dies. Thet's say,
- 28:27Speaker 1: there's two year old I'm going to listen last night,
- 28:29Speaker 1: Ella Grace. Her parents, Jonathan and Grace Ford, thought it
- 28:34Speaker 1: was God's will their little two year old die. Then
- 28:37Speaker 1: there's nine year old Jason Lockhart out of Oklahoma, much
- 28:41Speaker 1: the same, sixteen year old Neil Bigley, much the same,
- 28:46Speaker 1: And they hide behind religion while their child dies. That's
- 28:52Speaker 1: what I'm seeing. I mean, Max Lewis fifty nine joining us.
- 28:56Speaker 1: So I'm Indianapolis. What's the reaction to Mommy climbing her
- 29:00Speaker 1: child was possessed?
- 29:02Speaker 10: Well, you know, it's I am sort of speechless myself,
- 29:07Speaker 10: and I think that's the way everybody else was. You know,
- 29:10Speaker 10: she had tried to reach out to this priest in
- 29:14Speaker 10: southeastern Indiana who was a well known performer of exorcists,
- 29:17Speaker 10: Vatican trained exorcist, and wasn't able to get a hold
- 29:23Speaker 10: of him. And so that claim, I think, or that
- 29:26Speaker 10: sort of claim from her and the Facebook post that
- 29:28Speaker 10: you were mentioning, I think was really shocking to everybody.
- 29:32Speaker 10: I do want to make a point about something that
- 29:34Speaker 10: doctor Plant said. He said that this child was likely
- 29:38Speaker 10: in danger before, or there were likely signs before. Well
- 29:41Speaker 10: there was. She was actually these two women, mom and
- 29:45Speaker 10: don Coleman actually got into a car chase, court records
- 29:49Speaker 10: showdown in South Carolina. They were running from the police,
- 29:52Speaker 10: going over ninety miles an hour on the interstate, and
- 29:56Speaker 10: the kid and the little boy, Kirote was in the
- 29:58Speaker 10: car with them. That doesn't, you know, spell danger? I
- 30:03Speaker 10: don't know what does, so you know, clearly I think
- 30:06Speaker 10: what doctor Plant said is correct. This boy was in
- 30:09Speaker 10: danger before, had been in danger, and unfortunately the peers
- 30:14Speaker 10: of right steps weren't taken and he ended up in
- 30:16Speaker 10: this suitcase dead.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Why wasn't the baby taken away then, Max Lewis, I mean,
- 30:22Speaker 1: his siblings have been taken away, why not him?
- 30:25Speaker 10: I don't know, you know, it's really a mystery and
- 30:28Speaker 10: something that probably authorities in South Carolina maybe need to
- 30:32Speaker 10: answer for because when this car chase in ended, you know,
- 30:36Speaker 10: Anderson was the one driving, the mom was the one driving,
- 30:40Speaker 10: and then Don Coleman was in the passenger seat. The
- 30:42Speaker 10: baby was in the backseat when this police chase ended
- 30:45Speaker 10: because they ran out of gas. They basically just dropped
- 30:48Speaker 10: Don Coleman and the child off at a motel and
- 30:51Speaker 10: took the mom to jail, and so she was the
- 30:56Speaker 10: child was given right back to them.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Wow, sounds like day fat supporting Family Children's Services on
- 31:02Speaker 1: and again. Now we have another dad child Seemingly nobody
- 31:09Speaker 1: but me cares because it keeps happening every day. Children
- 31:13Speaker 1: in horrible, dangerous situations are left there because Child Protector
- 31:18Speaker 1: Services does nothing. Now, speaking of exorcism, take a listener,
- 31:22Speaker 1: friends at Fox fifty nine, Yeah for David.
- 31:25Speaker 15: In the case details a series of strange social media
- 31:28Speaker 15: posts police se Kyrol's mother sent about demons, exorcism, and
- 31:32Speaker 15: dark magic in the days before he was found. On
- 31:34Speaker 15: April twelfth, Anderson reached out to an Indianapolis priest, Father
- 31:38Speaker 15: Vincent Lampert, from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, on Twitter. Father
- 31:42Speaker 15: Lampert is one of dozens of priests who are exorcists
- 31:45Speaker 15: in the US. As you may know, and exorcist is
- 31:47Speaker 15: someone trained to cast out demons. Father Lampert told us
- 31:50Speaker 15: it's rare that a child dealing with quote demonic possession.
- 31:55Speaker 16: There's no such thing as an emergency exorcism. It really
- 31:58Speaker 16: begins with the person having a psychiatric evaluation by a
- 32:02Speaker 16: qualified psychologists or psychiatrists, and then having a medical examination
- 32:07Speaker 16: by their family doctor.
- 32:09Speaker 15: Father Lampard says when someone contacts him, he encourages them
- 32:12Speaker 15: to talk to their pastor and their family doctor.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace more heartbreaking evidence revealed on
- 32:34Speaker 1: social Mommy Anderson talks online about needing a quote exorcism
- 32:41Speaker 1: on her son to remove his demonic force. She even
- 32:46Speaker 1: made a post about telling her story in a book
- 32:49Speaker 1: or podcast about living with a quote demonic child. Doctor plant,
- 32:54Speaker 1: what exactly is an exorcism?
- 32:57Speaker 9: An exorcist is trained to perform a ritual. As you know,
- 33:03Speaker 9: the Catholic Church has lots of rituals, and this is
- 33:07Speaker 9: one a ritual that of training so that they it's
- 33:13Speaker 9: they're trained through the Vatican and so forth. The Vatican
- 33:16Speaker 9: approved and exorcists like this gentleman you just mentioned, and
- 33:24Speaker 9: including the excescists that I've worked with, we'll say that
- 33:26Speaker 9: ninety nine point nine percent of the time of cases
- 33:30Speaker 9: are major psychopathology and what's necessary is a psychiatric evaluation
- 33:36Speaker 9: or medical evaluation and so forth, and their troubles are
- 33:39Speaker 9: really in that arena. And I think that's that's true
- 33:45Speaker 9: when it comes to religion, sadly and tragically, some people
- 33:50Speaker 9: use religion for great harm and some people use religion
- 33:54Speaker 9: for great good. And I think that it's sort of
- 33:57Speaker 9: like a car. You know, a car can be a
- 33:59Speaker 9: great it gets you where you want to go, but
- 34:02Speaker 9: a car in the hands of a drunk driver is
- 34:04Speaker 9: a terrible weapon. The same is true with religion. In
- 34:07Speaker 9: this case, as you said, this woman may have been
- 34:11Speaker 9: using those imagery and things like that to justify her behavior,
- 34:17Speaker 9: which is horrific. But you know, sadly, that is a
- 34:22Speaker 9: common phenomenon across the world, and it always has been,
- 34:26Speaker 9: where people project their troubles and whatnot onto kind of
- 34:31Speaker 9: religion and then justify their actions in that way.
- 34:35Speaker 1: What you said is entirely true, doctor Plant. Just Gott Morgan,
- 34:41Speaker 1: I know forensics, I know crime, and that's what I'm
- 34:45Speaker 1: going to fall back home when I don't understand the rest.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I want you, specifically to take a listen to Courtney
- 34:51Speaker 1: Spinelli Fox fifty nine.
- 34:53Speaker 17: A child who for months was only known as the
- 34:56Speaker 17: boy found in a suitcase in rural Indiana.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Now has a name. Year old's Kiro Jordan Is Sue
- 35:03Speaker 1: hasn't really second had Cairo's.
- 35:04Speaker 17: Paternal grandparents and great uncles say they only learned he
- 35:07Speaker 17: died one day ago.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I would have wanted to know what kind of person
- 35:12Speaker 1: he would have come to be.
- 35:14Speaker 17: Things like whether he would have grown up to play
- 35:16Speaker 17: football like his dad did when he was younger. Authorities
- 35:19Speaker 17: are still trying to find Cairo's mother, Dejon Anderson, now
- 35:23Speaker 17: charged in his murder.
- 35:24Speaker 1: All she had to do with you know, let us
- 35:27Speaker 1: know and uh what he usually talking? How many children?
- 35:31Speaker 1: Jo Scott Morgan death investigator, have you been at the
- 35:36Speaker 1: murder scene, the homicide scene, the death scene, the autopsy
- 35:41Speaker 1: where mommy or daddy is a killer. But the rest
- 35:46Speaker 1: of the family did nothing. They knew there was a problem.
- 35:50Speaker 1: How could this family not know mommy was arrested for
- 35:53Speaker 1: aselony in South Carolina and got the childback and.
- 35:56Speaker 8: That that's counting on the fact that the individual had
- 36:00Speaker 8: contact with their family. But lots of times you'll have
- 36:02Speaker 8: these individuals that will know, I mean, they will know
- 36:07Speaker 8: that what's going on within that household is wrong, and
- 36:11Speaker 8: nobody interdicts it because nobody wants to get crossways with
- 36:15Speaker 8: the family members. Nobody wants to create a problem with
- 36:17Speaker 8: the family members and all for what. Now, in this
- 36:21Speaker 8: particular case, you've got this baby who was abandoned like garbage.
- 36:25Speaker 8: Let's just face it. That's the way he was treated
- 36:28Speaker 8: out in the middle of the woods. And you can't
- 36:31Speaker 8: tell me there weren't red flags leading up to this.
- 36:34Speaker 8: I've seen this over and over and over again.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Answer, we know that the mother moved around a lot.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I want you to listen, Ja, I can't want to
- 36:42Speaker 1: cut forward to our cut number thirty eight, Fox fifty nine. Listen.
- 36:46Speaker 17: In a series of posts, Anderson indicated she believed Cairo
- 36:50Speaker 17: was possessed family wishes. Anyone seeing these posts would have
- 36:53Speaker 17: reached out to offer help save Cairo.
- 36:58Speaker 5: That could have saved his mom, could have brought him
- 37:01Speaker 5: beck to Georgia, who could have helped him out.
- 37:02Speaker 8: Whatever we're to need.
- 37:03Speaker 17: As they worked to grasp what happened to Cairo. They're
- 37:06Speaker 17: grateful for the strangers who never stopped fighting for justice.
- 37:10Speaker 2: We definitely want to thank the people in Indiana who
- 37:13Speaker 2: did give him a proper burial. That was so nice
- 37:19Speaker 2: of them.
- 37:19Speaker 1: This shows what kind of what humanity really is. Hard
- 37:23Speaker 1: to believe that, with all of the available tools at
- 37:26Speaker 1: our fingertips, Mommy Jean Anderson still on the run running
- 37:32Speaker 1: from Lady Justice after her child found stuffed in a
- 37:36Speaker 1: Vegas suitcase in the middle of the woods dead. Disturbingly,
- 37:42Speaker 1: we learn Mommy Anderson arrested in South Carolina for child endangerment,
- 37:48Speaker 1: speeding in failure to stop for officers. Anderson only stopped
- 37:52Speaker 1: when she ran out of gas just before Tiny Kyrie's
- 37:55Speaker 1: body was found. Mommy Anderson arrested in Louisville for shot
- 37:59Speaker 1: with an assault. We learned that Mommy's friend Coleman, claims
- 38:04Speaker 1: to have been babysitting Cairo after Anderson was arrested. After
- 38:08Speaker 1: picking up Anderson, they went to stay at a cousin's
- 38:11Speaker 1: home in Louisville. According to a witness, the witness comes
- 38:15Speaker 1: into a bedroom to find Anderson on top of the
- 38:17Speaker 1: baby boy. The boy facing down on a Mattress. Court
- 38:22Speaker 1: documents only recently released, claimed the witness told investigators quote
- 38:27Speaker 1: it was already done when the witness came in the
- 38:31Speaker 1: bedroom to find the little boy dead. Dejohn Anderson aka
- 38:38Speaker 1: Mommy had already gathered trash bags in the bedroom used
- 38:43Speaker 1: to stuff the tots body in a suitcase to somehow
- 38:49Speaker 1: rationalize the murder. Mommy claimed her son was quote possessed
- 38:54Speaker 1: as she drove to Indiana to dump the suitcase. Mommy's
- 39:00Speaker 1: own ping to peak in Indiana, not far from where
- 39:02Speaker 1: Cairo's body found. Additionally, we learned surveilla's video from a
- 39:06Speaker 1: property owner show's Mommy's car stop on the road where
- 39:11Speaker 1: the suitcase was discovered. After coming social media, we learned
- 39:16Speaker 1: that Mommy's friend had the very same suitcase in which
- 39:21Speaker 1: the boy's body was found on the very same day
- 39:24Speaker 1: the Vegas suitcase was discovered. Video allegedly shows Mommy's car
- 39:29Speaker 1: driving across a bridge from Indiana to Louisville. A felony
- 39:34Speaker 1: murder arrest warrant has been issued for Anderson, but she's
- 39:38Speaker 1: currently on the run, last believed to be in the
- 39:41Speaker 1: LA area. Cops say they've searched for her in the
- 39:46Speaker 1: Metro La area, but came up empty handed. Last known
- 39:51Speaker 1: location Echo Park, LA. But she's known to travel far
- 39:56Speaker 1: and wide, recently having been in San Francisco, San Diego,
- 40:01Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and Houston. Her contacts reached all the way
- 40:05Speaker 1: back to Georgia, where Little Cairo was born. Anderson five five,
- 40:12Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five pounds, short, dark brown hair
- 40:15Speaker 1: and last known photo. Often prone to wear wigs or
- 40:20Speaker 1: hair extensions. I don't care how many extensions she wears.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Nothing is going to change those fingerprints. According to recently
- 40:28Speaker 1: released court documents, we learned police use technology to pull
- 40:31Speaker 1: fingerprints from trash bags that encased the tiny boy's body
- 40:38Speaker 1: stuffed in a suitcase. Those prints a one hundred percent
- 40:43Speaker 1: match to mommy, de Jan Anderson. I want justice. I
- 40:50Speaker 1: want Little Cairo's mother. Dejean Anderson brought back to court
- 40:56Speaker 1: to face a jury and a true rate. We wait
- 41:02Speaker 1: as justice unfold. Goodbye, friend,
