Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / SHOCKING AUTOPSY: Who or What Killed Noah Presgrove
Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Body Backs with Joseph Scott Morgan. When you're a kid
- 0:19Speaker 1: and you're growing up out in the heartland, rural areas,
- 0:25Speaker 1: you know what you spend most of the time doing,
- 0:28Speaker 1: other than probably working on property that your parents have.
- 0:32Speaker 1: You go to school, there's no city really to go
- 0:36Speaker 1: into and hang out at. You rely heavily on your
- 0:40Speaker 1: friends for entertainment. You entertain one another, actually, and those
- 0:43Speaker 1: forms of entertainment can involve any number of things. Sitting
- 0:47Speaker 1: around a bonfire, having a few beers even under a age,
- 0:50Speaker 1: riding around in the back of your buddy's pickup truck,
- 0:53Speaker 1: just going to spontaneous parties at someone's home. But you know,
- 0:57Speaker 1: even with all that going on on, you still there's
- 1:01Speaker 1: a level of safety and familiarity you have with that
- 1:05Speaker 1: location that you grow up in. Today, we're going to
- 1:10Speaker 1: discuss a death that I guess now has been under
- 1:14Speaker 1: investigation for near about a year. It's a death that
- 1:17Speaker 1: occurred out in rural Oklahoma. It's a death involving a
- 1:22Speaker 1: young man who was found his body was found broken
- 1:27Speaker 1: and bleeding on the side of a road, wearing shoes
- 1:32Speaker 1: and nothing else but the shoes that he was wearing
- 1:35Speaker 1: didn't match. As a matter of fact, one of the
- 1:37Speaker 1: shoes belong to someone else. Today we're going to talk
- 1:41Speaker 1: about the death an autopsy of no oppress Grove. I'm
- 1:47Speaker 1: josephcott Morgan and this is body Bags Dave. We got
- 1:54Speaker 1: a whole bunch of rural Now.
- 1:56Speaker 2: We live in a rural area. I'm not that dissimilar
- 1:59Speaker 2: from Oklahoma where Noah press Grove grew up. He's nineteen,
- 2:03Speaker 2: graduated from high school, and he's at an end of
- 2:05Speaker 2: summer labor day, twenty second birthday party all rolled into
- 2:09Speaker 2: one on this weekend. The reason we're talking about Noah
- 2:12Speaker 2: press Groves death is because his autopsy has come out.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Police are still on investigating this as if it's a murder,
- 2:19Speaker 2: and yet it doesn't fit into a hit and run,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and the best that police can come up with is
- 2:25Speaker 2: that maybe he fell out of the back of a truck.
- 2:28Speaker 2: The injuries don't match that either. So today we're going
- 2:32Speaker 2: to talk about the death and the autopsy of nineteen
- 2:36Speaker 2: year old Noah press Grove. But before we do that,
- 2:39Speaker 2: I want to say a very quick hello and thank
- 2:42Speaker 2: you to Jennifer Williamson Ward. She is a friend of
- 2:46Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum, and she sent a message to us about
- 2:51Speaker 2: this story, and Jennifer, I have to tell you I
- 2:54Speaker 2: mentioned it to Joe and in the world that we
- 2:57Speaker 2: live in terms of on the air radio and TV
- 3:00Speaker 2: and what have you and podcasting, this is a story
- 3:03Speaker 2: that Joe has covered extensively from Court, TV to Nancy.
- 3:08Speaker 1: To News Nation.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I'm sure. I mean there's a crime related show, they
- 3:13Speaker 2: asked Joe, especially when it deals with something along the
- 3:16Speaker 2: lines of what we're getting ready to talk about, and
- 3:18Speaker 2: that is the death of a nineteen year old man who,
- 3:21Speaker 2: by the way, I've never seen a laundry list of
- 3:24Speaker 2: injuries so severe when there was not a murder investigation.
- 3:30Speaker 1: That's the thing, isn't it. You know, Because the injuries
- 3:33Speaker 1: are so extensive that he was presenting with at autopsy,
- 3:40Speaker 1: I would imagine that the pathologist that's doing the examination
- 3:47Speaker 1: is scratching their head and they're thinking, well, where do
- 3:50Speaker 1: I begin, you know, because when they would have gotten
- 3:54Speaker 1: this young man's body, there would have been some external manifestations,
- 3:58Speaker 1: as we know that there were or relative to injuries
- 4:01Speaker 1: that could be evidenced externally. But you know, when I
- 4:05Speaker 1: can almost see because I've had to look on my face.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I can almost see the look on everyone's faces when
- 4:11Speaker 1: they started doing post mortem X rays on this kid's body,
- 4:14Speaker 1: and it would have been so glaringly obvious the trauma
- 4:19Speaker 1: that this kid sustained. Whenever you have a case like
- 4:22Speaker 1: this day, where you've got so much trauma, it's important
- 4:25Speaker 1: and it's almost like a game plan. You know, if
- 4:28Speaker 1: you go into a game, a big game, there's so
- 4:30Speaker 1: many moving parts. You need to have enough data on
- 4:33Speaker 1: your side to understand what you're going to do. Because
- 4:37Speaker 1: if you just go into a case like this randomly
- 4:41Speaker 1: without doing any kind of pre investigation or a pre
- 4:46Speaker 1: examination of the body, an external examination which includes X rays,
- 4:50Speaker 1: you bump around in the dark and you're going to
- 4:52Speaker 1: miss something. So if you can go in with this
- 4:55Speaker 1: idea of Okay, this is what the radiographs are showing me,
- 5:00Speaker 1: this is the information that has come in from law
- 5:05Speaker 1: enforcement that we're at the scene, this is information that
- 5:08Speaker 1: they have gotten through interviews. You need to be armed
- 5:11Speaker 1: with this because Dave, this is so complex, it's so intertwined,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and you don't know where where one group of injuries
- 5:20Speaker 1: stops and the other one starts, and the big thing
- 5:23Speaker 1: here is sequencing. How did all of this occur? Because
- 5:26Speaker 1: there's so much here.
- 5:28Speaker 2: So when a situation arises like this, in this particular case,
- 5:33Speaker 2: where there had been a party taking place over a
- 5:35Speaker 2: weekend and Noah's body is found at five point fifty
- 5:40Speaker 2: three am on September the fourth, now we're dealing with
- 5:44Speaker 2: last September. His body was found on the side of
- 5:47Speaker 2: the road. He was curled up in the fetal position,
- 5:50Speaker 2: naked except for as you mentioned, the mixed match shoes.
- 5:53Speaker 2: One was not even his Passing truck drivers saw him
- 5:57Speaker 2: and reported it called nine to one one. Now, Noah
- 6:01Speaker 2: has a brother that had heard I don't know how okay,
- 6:05Speaker 2: but there was a lot of you know, calls are
- 6:08Speaker 2: being made early on.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Of course at truck it's a small town and news travels.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Course, he knew something had happened, that Noah was whatever,
- 6:15Speaker 2: and he goes to the scene. Now, by the time
- 6:17Speaker 2: his brother gets there, Noah's body has already been covered.
- 6:21Speaker 2: But he said he could recognize Noah from the shape
- 6:25Speaker 2: of his body, you know, on the ground. He was
- 6:28Speaker 2: in the fetal position, and the blood had soaked through
- 6:32Speaker 2: the sheet that they had covering him, and just so
- 6:36Speaker 2: you know that that would be the sheet whatever laying
- 6:40Speaker 2: on top of his body, on top of some area
- 6:43Speaker 2: that had blood, because if it was I tend to
- 6:46Speaker 2: think of seeping as going down, not up. But his
- 6:50Speaker 2: brother was talking about certain things that he saw at
- 6:54Speaker 2: the scene, and I in coming to this blind because
- 6:59Speaker 2: I didn't want any kind of preconceived notions as to
- 7:01Speaker 2: what had taken placetcha and his brother said, I saw teeth, teeth,
- 7:07Speaker 2: and I'm okay, he's finding teeth and a pair of
- 7:11Speaker 2: shorts are folded near him. He's nude, he's in a
- 7:18Speaker 2: fetal position. I find teeth near his body, his teeth
- 7:22Speaker 2: and a pair of shorts folded near his body. So
- 7:27Speaker 2: here we go, Joe. It's just before six in the morning.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Police show up. They start doing the investigation. All right,
- 7:33Speaker 2: he's been at a party during the course of the weekend.
- 7:35Speaker 2: The injuries to this young man, we're going to have
- 7:38Speaker 2: to go through them very carefully because they are so extensive. Yes,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and I've never seen this in reporting these types of
- 7:49Speaker 2: and we've reported plenty situations where there was a weekend party,
- 7:53Speaker 2: a five breaks out, a couple of guys gang up
- 7:56Speaker 2: on somebody, there are some bad tales to tell like
- 7:59Speaker 2: that this is if this is one of those, there
- 8:03Speaker 2: were probably ten different on their own fatal injuries to
- 8:11Speaker 2: Noah Press Grove that you have had this.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Yeah it was. And you know, before we step off
- 8:18Speaker 1: into the world of the injuries, you got to talk
- 8:20Speaker 1: about the scene. This is a rural, isolated area, and
- 8:24Speaker 1: the one thing that sticks out to me first off,
- 8:27Speaker 1: the comment of the brother. I've worked cases and it's
- 8:32Speaker 1: well documented in all of the literature. You can see this.
- 8:35Speaker 1: When you have motor vehicle accidents, there are people you
- 8:38Speaker 1: know famously. Okay, let me start off here. There's always
- 8:41Speaker 1: there's this precept that is always put forward that any
- 8:45Speaker 1: time a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, they're automatically
- 8:48Speaker 1: knocked out of their shoes. I've had so many people
- 8:51Speaker 1: tell me that over the years. It doesn't always happen.
- 8:55Speaker 1: You know. It's it's kind of like you know, people
- 8:58Speaker 1: talking about sue sides and the weapon being found away
- 9:02Speaker 1: from the body, like the body is supposed to be
- 9:05Speaker 1: holding the weapon every That doesn't happen every time, Just
- 9:09Speaker 1: like people are not always knocked out of their shoes,
- 9:12Speaker 1: that doesn't always happen. But I can tell you what
- 9:14Speaker 1: does happen many times with clothing in particular? Is it
- 9:18Speaker 1: clothing if you think about the spinning of the tires
- 9:22Speaker 1: when a body is struck, a pedestrian is struck many times,
- 9:26Speaker 1: if the body is captured beneath the undercarriage of the car,
- 9:30Speaker 1: the clothing will be twisted and ripped off of the body. Dave,
- 9:34Speaker 1: it's not what the brother said. He said, Noah's nude
- 9:39Speaker 1: in a fetal position, and we'll get to the teeth
- 9:41Speaker 1: in a second. But his undershorts were found on the
- 9:45Speaker 1: road folded. Now, I don't know what had happened prior
- 9:52Speaker 1: to Noah's brother arriving at the scene. But if I
- 9:55Speaker 1: hear that somebody's underwear are folded, and I don't know
- 9:59Speaker 1: how to validate. I don't know if the police have
- 10:03Speaker 1: remarked about this and explained this, this thing that the
- 10:07Speaker 1: brother was witnessing, how do undershorts wind up getting folded,
- 10:11Speaker 1: Particularly if you're thinking, well, maybe the got ripped off
- 10:14Speaker 1: in the accident, or whatever it is it happened. Because
- 10:16Speaker 1: whatever happened involved a tremendous amount of impact, I don't
- 10:23Speaker 1: I'll put it to this way. I've actually worked parachute
- 10:26Speaker 1: failures where the parachute failed to deploy that have fewer
- 10:30Speaker 1: fractures than this kid had. Wow, let that sink in
- 10:34Speaker 1: just for a second. I mean, and that's and the
- 10:38Speaker 1: reason is, it's pretty simple, is that when a body
- 10:43Speaker 1: is impacted, it's not generally impacted on multiple locations with
- 10:53Speaker 1: this amount of force to generate underlying fractures. Okay, I'll
- 10:56Speaker 1: just kind of plainly say that. So that leaves us with,
- 11:01Speaker 1: you know, a great, big, you know, kind of question
- 11:04Speaker 1: mark here, wondering what was the generator, how did this happen?
- 11:08Speaker 1: How did he wind up in this isolated area? And
- 11:12Speaker 1: was there something more that may have occurred at a
- 11:16Speaker 1: party that Noah attended, or did it occur as he
- 11:21Speaker 1: was leaving the party and wound up at this location?
- 11:42Speaker 1: Dave you ever heard that saying? It says, and it
- 11:45Speaker 1: varies from time to tom nothing good happens after eleven PM,
- 11:49Speaker 1: or nothing good happened after midnight. I know Noah was
- 11:55Speaker 1: at a party and kind of in and out. The
- 11:58Speaker 1: details are a little bit murky, a little, yeah, a
- 12:01Speaker 1: little and I was being calm and so there was
- 12:08Speaker 1: a party. We know that and it was a celebratory
- 12:11Speaker 1: event and there were many young people there. Can you
- 12:17Speaker 1: kind of run this top because Tom Tomming is everything
- 12:19Speaker 1: in this case, Can you kind of break this down
- 12:21Speaker 1: for us and give us an idea.
- 12:22Speaker 2: The murky part of it is that there was social
- 12:25Speaker 2: media being fed pictures and what have you of all
- 12:29Speaker 2: of the partying that was going on. A girl turned
- 12:32Speaker 2: twenty two, somebody that all grew up with. We hit
- 12:33Speaker 2: this in the first segment about it being close knit.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Everybody knows one another. When everybody knows one another, you
- 12:40Speaker 2: have a tendency to have smoldering problems. You got an
- 12:45Speaker 2: issue with somebody and maybe you're not tight with them.
- 12:48Speaker 2: You're tight with these people, but now you're in together
- 12:50Speaker 2: and I just don't like that guy. You know, never
- 12:53Speaker 2: have hated him in third grade. You know he wiped
- 12:55Speaker 2: a book around me or something.
- 12:57Speaker 3: You know.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it stays with you in a town like
- 12:59Speaker 2: in an area like this. But this party was going on.
- 13:02Speaker 2: It was a it was well first of all Labor
- 13:04Speaker 2: Day weekend. It was a twenty second birthday party for
- 13:08Speaker 2: a girl. It was an end of summer party for
- 13:11Speaker 2: the adults. Most of these kids were out of high school.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Noah had graduated a year previously, and he was looking
- 13:18Speaker 2: at a future that included possibly joined the military. That's
- 13:21Speaker 2: what he was considering. So they gathered together at this
- 13:24Speaker 2: party over a weekend. Now, my first thought when I
- 13:27Speaker 2: saw it was, this is one of those kind of
- 13:29Speaker 2: keggers that you go to on a Friday night and
- 13:33Speaker 2: you know, it kind of goes on all weekend.
- 13:34Speaker 1: You party, you listen to music.
- 13:36Speaker 2: The next day, you wake up whenever, and you know,
- 13:38Speaker 2: pretty much go right back to it. But that's not
- 13:40Speaker 2: what happened. It was a multi day event that took place.
- 13:45Speaker 2: But the party of yours left, or at least Noah
- 13:47Speaker 2: left and went home and cleaned himself up and then
- 13:50Speaker 2: went back the next night. During the course of this
- 13:55Speaker 2: weekend Labor Day weekend event, Noah did have a disc
- 14:00Speaker 2: well back up. Noah and five other guys, six guys,
- 14:05Speaker 2: rode this big ATV. It's referred to as a ranger vehicle,
- 14:10Speaker 2: an ATV ranger vehicle. Noah and five other people are
- 14:16Speaker 2: on this ranger vehicle and they had an accident. It
- 14:20Speaker 2: wasn't bumping into a car, it wasn't bumping into a pole.
- 14:23Speaker 2: It wasn't hitting a curb. It was a rollover incident.
- 14:28Speaker 2: First of all, these ATV Ranger vehicles are not cheap.
- 14:32Speaker 2: They are adult toys, yes, and it was an adult
- 14:37Speaker 2: toy that got rolled over. The way they make it
- 14:40Speaker 2: seem is that Noah might have been the driver of
- 14:43Speaker 2: said vehicle. I don't know if that's the case, but
- 14:47Speaker 2: one thing we do know is that it was bad
- 14:49Speaker 2: enough that when he came up dead, that was the
- 14:54Speaker 2: first thing people thought, Hey, he got hurt in this
- 14:57Speaker 2: ATV accident.
- 14:58Speaker 1: He did get hurt, but.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Not bad enough that it required him to go to
- 15:05Speaker 2: the hospital or anything. He was hurt, but he went
- 15:08Speaker 2: back to the party.
- 15:10Speaker 1: You know, Dave, when you have events, and you mentioned
- 15:13Speaker 1: a rollover event, and these Ranger vehicles that come in
- 15:17Speaker 1: a couple of different configuration you have two seater or
- 15:20Speaker 1: four seater. They make this thing sound like it's like
- 15:22Speaker 1: a four seater. They've got roll bars on them. So
- 15:24Speaker 1: if the thing tips over and they're talking about rollover event,
- 15:30Speaker 1: just because there's a rollover doesn't mean that you're not
- 15:33Speaker 1: going to sustain injuries. And I have seen I have
- 15:36Speaker 1: seen people, Dave, that have been involved in motor vehicle
- 15:40Speaker 1: accidents where they get up and they are walking, talking,
- 15:46Speaker 1: fully oriented to time and space, and eight hours later
- 15:51Speaker 1: they die. And that's because something along the way was
- 15:55Speaker 1: clipped internally, generally some type of smaller vessel, and it's
- 15:59Speaker 1: a slow lead internally, and then all of a sudden,
- 16:01Speaker 1: it's classic. What you begin to see is that suddenly
- 16:05Speaker 1: they become very sleepy, speech becomes slurred, they become disoriented,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and then the next thing you know, they're out cold
- 16:12Speaker 1: on the ground and they've got this kind of it's
- 16:14Speaker 1: almost like a death rattle they have because they're slipping
- 16:17Speaker 1: off into a coma because they're losing blood and the
- 16:20Speaker 1: oxygen level, the supply to the brain is dropping precipitously,
- 16:24Speaker 1: and it's a horrible thing to witness. This does, in
- 16:27Speaker 1: fact happen, So we can't completely discard that possibility that
- 16:33Speaker 1: it's you know, we talk a lot about the totality
- 16:36Speaker 1: of injuries that an individual sustains, that it might not
- 16:40Speaker 1: be just singularly a one time event. It could be
- 16:44Speaker 1: a combination of events, and I'm sure that that's what
- 16:47Speaker 1: the pathologist was trying to consider in this, and I.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Think it's important to note that it was about enough
- 16:53Speaker 2: accident that it was brought up that he was not hurt,
- 16:56Speaker 2: because it's the assumption that if you say, well, he
- 16:59Speaker 2: wasn't hurt, he actually must have shown some injury, but
- 17:02Speaker 2: not bad enough to quit. You're nineteen, you're tenpee telling
- 17:04Speaker 2: bulletproof for crying out lot.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Oh, oh my gosh. Yeah. And look, if you here's
- 17:09Speaker 1: the thing, and this is kind of kind of cool. Scientifically,
- 17:12Speaker 1: if you sustain let's say you sustain an injury, and
- 17:17Speaker 1: maybe you don't think much of it at the time,
- 17:19Speaker 1: it hurts upon initial impact. What your body begins to do,
- 17:26Speaker 1: there's a trauma response in your body. So let's just
- 17:29Speaker 1: say you have a broken rib, you get popped in aside,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and you don't know that necessarily that this is some
- 17:38Speaker 1: kind of fatal or lethal event, but yet it hurts.
- 17:42Speaker 1: But it's something it's not something that you know is
- 17:45Speaker 1: going to get you down your knees, all right. But
- 17:49Speaker 1: what the trauma response in the body is is that,
- 17:52Speaker 1: first off, it's going to hemorrhage, and secondly, it's going
- 17:55Speaker 1: to swell. And we know for a fact that it's
- 18:00Speaker 1: swelling or the echomosis that surrounds that damaged tissue, Dave.
- 18:05Speaker 1: It takes a prescribed amount of time for that to happen.
- 18:08Speaker 1: So when you're examining somebody in the morgue and you're
- 18:12Speaker 1: looking for these injuries and trying to interpret them, one
- 18:15Speaker 1: of things you're going to look for are these little
- 18:17Speaker 1: breadcrumbs to say, Okay, you know what, this injury might
- 18:22Speaker 1: be older than these other ones that occurred at the
- 18:25Speaker 1: time of death. First off, if something occurred at the
- 18:28Speaker 1: time of death, it's not going to be presenting with
- 18:32Speaker 1: the amount of swelling. For instance, that something that had
- 18:35Speaker 1: happened hours before or a day before may be experiencing
- 18:39Speaker 1: it'll it'll look completely different. How do you make sense
- 18:42Speaker 1: of all of this when you have, say, for instance,
- 18:46Speaker 1: old injuries that are now potentially being coupled with new
- 18:50Speaker 1: injuries that are discovered at autopsy. Maybe these things are
- 18:54Speaker 1: even recognized out on the scene. How is it that
- 18:58Speaker 1: you're able as a scientists to delineate between what is
- 19:03Speaker 1: older and what is newer. Sometimes those answers are not
- 19:07Speaker 1: as obvious as you might think that they are. I
- 19:28Speaker 1: don't normally do this sort of thing on this podcast,
- 19:30Speaker 1: but I got to tell you, I got to give
- 19:31Speaker 1: you a word of warning. What we're going to talk
- 19:33Speaker 1: about right now is even by bodyback Sanders is kind
- 19:36Speaker 1: of graphic, but it has to be stated. And I'm
- 19:40Speaker 1: going to try in my own little way to interpret
- 19:42Speaker 1: and give you an idea of what might could generate
- 19:45Speaker 1: these types of injuries. And in many cases there are
- 19:47Speaker 1: multiple ways that these types of injuries can be generated.
- 19:51Speaker 2: But you get the police theory that he was thrown
- 19:53Speaker 2: out the back of a truck that was moving jail.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I want you guys to pay attention to these injuries
- 19:58Speaker 2: because you're not going to find if you were thrown
- 20:00Speaker 2: out of the back of a truck, you're going to
- 20:01Speaker 2: have road rash over your legs, You're going to have arms,
- 20:05Speaker 2: You're going to have a lot of those type And
- 20:07Speaker 2: I'm saying that because I've been thrown out of the
- 20:09Speaker 2: back of the truck. I'm not by friends throwing me out.
- 20:11Speaker 2: We actually were being stupid and I fell, and I
- 20:15Speaker 2: know the injuries I had and we weren't. You know,
- 20:17Speaker 2: they were all over and my legs took the brunt
- 20:19Speaker 2: of it for the most part, these feet, ankles, what
- 20:22Speaker 2: have you. And he does not have those types of
- 20:25Speaker 2: injuries that actually match up to someone that was pitched
- 20:30Speaker 2: out of the back of a truck. I'm just saying
- 20:32Speaker 2: that because as we break these down, that's what I
- 20:34Speaker 2: went into it thinking happened, and I went how did
- 20:37Speaker 2: they even say that out loud? Take a look at
- 20:39Speaker 2: this list, Joe, that you're going and I want you
- 20:42Speaker 2: to explain just right off the bat, ten broken ribs.
- 20:47Speaker 1: With ten broken ribs is really something that and you
- 20:53Speaker 1: have to think about the orientation of these fractures. Are
- 20:56Speaker 1: they all married up? Like on the horizontal plane they
- 21:00Speaker 1: kind of match up as you go down the rib cage,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you know, like when you're going down the fifth rib
- 21:07Speaker 1: and the fifth rib, are they both concurrently fractured? And
- 21:11Speaker 1: does it approximate the same anatomical location. If that's happening,
- 21:15Speaker 1: then maybe you took a full on impact of a
- 21:19Speaker 1: motor vehicle striking you in your chest and you're on
- 21:21Speaker 1: your knees. Probability of that is very low because you
- 21:24Speaker 1: would have other associated things that you would find with that.
- 21:27Speaker 1: The other thing that you get with fractured ribs is
- 21:30Speaker 1: something that folks may or may not have heard of before.
- 21:34Speaker 1: It's called a flail chest. And what happens is is
- 21:38Speaker 1: that when your ribs are fractured, they're almost free floating
- 21:43Speaker 1: within your chest cavity, and you'll get multiple lung punctures,
- 21:46Speaker 1: and your lungs and your plural spaces, which are the
- 21:51Speaker 1: area around your lungs, begin to fill with blood. So
- 21:57Speaker 1: you have that going on in and of itself with
- 22:01Speaker 1: the ribs. And to get ten broken ribs, Dave, is
- 22:07Speaker 1: something that I don't know that I don't know that
- 22:10Speaker 1: you would get from a single event. You might get
- 22:14Speaker 1: that from a single event, but there's not going to
- 22:16Speaker 1: be this many other associated injuries. Just think about it.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Just think about it. If you were a kid and
- 22:23Speaker 1: you were in a tree house, okay, and you fell
- 22:26Speaker 1: out of the treehouse, you're going to impact on one
- 22:30Speaker 1: location on your body, maybe the back of your head,
- 22:33Speaker 1: maybe your shoulder, maybe your hip. Maybe you're going to
- 22:36Speaker 1: bend your knees under you, you know, Lord help you,
- 22:38Speaker 1: and land on both of your knees from a height.
- 22:41Speaker 1: But that's a single point of impact, Dave. We had
- 22:44Speaker 1: stuff here that at least implies that they are like
- 22:48Speaker 1: multiple impacts with a significant amount of force, because you're
- 22:52Speaker 1: talking about underlying fractures, Dave.
- 22:55Speaker 2: And that's fine. I said earlier that there are at
- 22:58Speaker 2: least ten injuries that, on their own, with nothing else,
- 23:01Speaker 2: could have been fatal. Go through the rest of this show.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I'm going to sit hearing shut up because I really,
- 23:06Speaker 2: for the life.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Of it, I think I think the thing that.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Is is frustrated by what the police have said.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I it is frustrating. I think probably no way.
- 23:17Speaker 2: This didn't have that happened by jump falling out of
- 23:19Speaker 2: the back of a truck.
- 23:20Speaker 1: That did not happen. Well, maybe if you fell out
- 23:22Speaker 1: of the back of a truck multiple times, is what
- 23:25Speaker 1: I think I'd like to say.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Yeah, let me hop back up and try that again.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I didn't break my leg this time.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Come on, I know. And that's that's kind of you
- 23:32Speaker 1: know what you're thinking about. And I know that they're
- 23:34Speaker 1: thinking about this. The me is certainly thinking about this.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Is it possible to generate and listen again, I go
- 23:42Speaker 1: back to this idea that they've left the scene unclassified.
- 23:45Speaker 1: You know, they have not classified it. And that's that's
- 23:48Speaker 1: a big you know, that's a big piece to this
- 23:50Speaker 1: because you know, the cops can say basically whatever they
- 23:56Speaker 1: want to say about what they're seeing at the scene. However,
- 24:00Speaker 1: if the me is not signing off on this thing
- 24:03Speaker 1: with a particular classification, that gives me an indication that
- 24:07Speaker 1: they're still wanting more information that they're scratching their heads over.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I think probably the thing that jumps out the most
- 24:15Speaker 1: is that, you know, they talked about this one central
- 24:18Speaker 1: impact to the skull, which Dave I got to tell you.
- 24:22Speaker 1: It sounds like, and it's a it's apparently a very
- 24:25Speaker 1: very extensive injury, but it sounds like a single impact
- 24:30Speaker 1: that is almost being described as a It seems to
- 24:34Speaker 1: me is almost like a depressed skull fracture, which means
- 24:37Speaker 1: that it's not the skull is not just simply fractured
- 24:41Speaker 1: where you fracture like if you have a Bowld egg
- 24:44Speaker 1: and you kind of crack it, you know, and it
- 24:46Speaker 1: creates like this kind of curvelinear, you know, manifestation, whereas
- 24:49Speaker 1: we're talking about if you take that egg and press
- 24:51Speaker 1: it in, if you've ever done that with a bold egg,
- 24:54Speaker 1: you press it in on the sides and it literally
- 24:56Speaker 1: depresses and you have it's almost like a that it
- 25:00Speaker 1: creates and it kind of spiderwebs out. That kind of
- 25:03Speaker 1: sounds like what they're talking about that sounds like a
- 25:06Speaker 1: depressed skull fracture. How do you get that? Well, I
- 25:09Speaker 1: guess you could get it if you hit just right
- 25:12Speaker 1: on the back of your head on the road. But
- 25:15Speaker 1: you know, I've seen depressed skull fractures with baseball bats, hammers, pipes.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I've seen people with depressed gull fractures that have been
- 25:22Speaker 1: pistol whipped. I'm not saying any of that happened, but
- 25:27Speaker 1: just that injury alone, that injury alone, just standing all
- 25:31Speaker 1: by itself, is a lethal injury. Because dude, when they
- 25:37Speaker 1: opened up his skull, there was a copious amount of
- 25:42Speaker 1: blood that poured out of a cranial vault. What does
- 25:48Speaker 1: that mean to you, Well, it means that you've got
- 25:50Speaker 1: multiple vessels within the skull that are fractured. And if
- 25:54Speaker 1: you like that one, I got one that's even worse.
- 25:56Speaker 1: And this is something I have never mentioned on this
- 25:59Speaker 1: pod cast. If you will put your fingers adjacent to
- 26:05Speaker 1: your external ear canal on both sides, If you put
- 26:08Speaker 1: your your index fingers on both sides, imagine drawing a
- 26:12Speaker 1: line through the floor of your skull. Right there. Noah
- 26:15Speaker 1: has got what sounds like a hinge fracture. And the
- 26:19Speaker 1: hinge fracture literally involves going all the way across the
- 26:24Speaker 1: floor of the skull internally, so that and these fractures
- 26:28Speaker 1: are amazing. When you see them, you get an idea
- 26:32Speaker 1: of how much force is involved when you remove the
- 26:35Speaker 1: brain after you've taken the skull cap off where this
- 26:38Speaker 1: other fracture would have been. When you remove the brain,
- 26:41Speaker 1: that's where all this blood is coming from. You grab
- 26:44Speaker 1: the top of the skull up by the forehead where
- 26:46Speaker 1: you've made your incision, and the back of the skull.
- 26:49Speaker 1: You can actually open the skull along the floor of
- 26:54Speaker 1: the skull and it looks like a giant mouth like
- 26:57Speaker 1: moving like this, and it goes all the way across
- 27:00Speaker 1: many times, either anterior or right across the foreme and magnum,
- 27:05Speaker 1: which is where your spinal cord dumps down into your
- 27:07Speaker 1: spinal column. And I've seen it involved in both locations,
- 27:11Speaker 1: and it's like this gaping maw that's in there, Dave,
- 27:15Speaker 1: that created that you have to have so much force
- 27:19Speaker 1: in order to generate that insult alone that it's it
- 27:25Speaker 1: gives you pause. Okay, Hine. Fractures don't occur all the time,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and when you see them, it's like, you know, if
- 27:33Speaker 1: you're standing there with the forensic pathologists, they'll say, oh
- 27:36Speaker 1: my god, we got a hinge fracture. You know, it's like, okay,
- 27:39Speaker 1: you get the photography person over there. You're going to
- 27:41Speaker 1: want to take a picture of this. Not that you
- 27:43Speaker 1: wouldn't otherwise, but the pathologist is going to want like
- 27:47Speaker 1: a tremendous number of photographs taken of this, because this
- 27:49Speaker 1: is a significant finding. You look at that in and
- 27:52Speaker 1: of itself, all of that head trauma is just absolutely amazing.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Now he's got brained damage in a sense that it's
- 28:01Speaker 1: traumatically related. So you'll have both in dwelling hemorrhage within
- 28:06Speaker 1: the brain itself. There's external damage to the brain. There'll
- 28:10Speaker 1: be a lot of blood, coagulated blood more than likely
- 28:15Speaker 1: that is just resting on the surface of the brain
- 28:18Speaker 1: and certainly within the dura sack, which if you think
- 28:22Speaker 1: of the dura sac that encompasses the brain, it's almost
- 28:27Speaker 1: like a placenta. A matter of fact, that it actually
- 28:29Speaker 1: if you take the dura matter and laid alongside a placenta,
- 28:35Speaker 1: it looks a lot like that. It's kind of a
- 28:37Speaker 1: protective back that encases the brain itself. It's a wash
- 28:46Speaker 1: and spinal fluid. It kind of lubricates the brain because
- 28:48Speaker 1: you wouldn't want your brain just sitting inside your skull
- 28:51Speaker 1: because the edges are so rough in there, and so
- 28:53Speaker 1: the dura acts almost like a shock absorber for the brain,
- 28:57Speaker 1: so you would have a tremendous amount of blood contained
- 29:01Speaker 1: in there. There were four separate areas of trauma on
- 29:05Speaker 1: the organ, the brain itself, and not to mention this trauma,
- 29:13Speaker 1: we talk about cerebrospinal trauma. Okay, you hear doctors talk
- 29:18Speaker 1: about this a lot. So his Noah's head and brain
- 29:23Speaker 1: were not a skull and brain were not just impacted,
- 29:26Speaker 1: but also his spinal cord. You get down to the
- 29:32Speaker 1: sea one, you've got multiple cervical vertebra and the C
- 29:37Speaker 1: one is what classically we refer to as the atlas.
- 29:42Speaker 1: If you think about the Titan Atlas from Greek mythology,
- 29:46Speaker 1: Atlas is that gigantic being that is holding up the earth.
- 29:51Speaker 1: And the reason they called C one the atlas is
- 29:56Speaker 1: because it is literally where the skull is resting, and
- 30:00Speaker 1: it's supporting from a skeletal standpoint, it's supporting the skull
- 30:04Speaker 1: that the C one Dave in this case is actually displaced. Okay,
- 30:08Speaker 1: So it's been it's been knocked out for a lack
- 30:14Speaker 1: of a better term in Layman's. In Layman's terms, it
- 30:17Speaker 1: has been displaced. So it's kind of knocked knocked out
- 30:20Speaker 1: of alignment. As a matter of fact, some have described
- 30:23Speaker 1: this as a displacement that might be consistent with what
- 30:29Speaker 1: you would see in a judicial hanging, which leads to death.
- 30:33Speaker 1: So if you you know, when people talk about the
- 30:35Speaker 1: snapping of a neck when they fallen from a height,
- 30:37Speaker 1: the C one C two is what's impacted, and you
- 30:41Speaker 1: know when people are are in judicial hangings, that's what
- 30:45Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I'm not talking about anything self inflicted here.
- 30:48Speaker 1: The goal was that that would fall from such a
- 30:51Speaker 1: height that it would displace the C one and C two,
- 30:54Speaker 1: which are a critical level in the spot that if
- 30:58Speaker 1: those things are displaced in it's incompatible with life, okay,
- 31:01Speaker 1: because it impacts those basic those basic functions that are
- 31:06Speaker 1: required just for the autonomic nervous system to fire, you know,
- 31:11Speaker 1: like keeping your heart beating and doing you know, respirations
- 31:14Speaker 1: and all that other regulatory stuff. So that that has
- 31:18Speaker 1: been impacted, for lack of a better term. Uh, we've
- 31:22Speaker 1: got Uh. What they found was a skin on the
- 31:26Speaker 1: left side of the scalp had been torn away, off
- 31:29Speaker 1: of the brain, off the forgive me, off of the bone,
- 31:32Speaker 1: So it means it's been ripped from the skull itself,
- 31:35Speaker 1: which again is kind of a friction related type of event.
- 31:42Speaker 1: You know, I guess you could say that somebody could
- 31:44Speaker 1: have traumatized him individually, but most of the time you
- 31:47Speaker 1: see something like that, that's the idea of the dynamic
- 31:50Speaker 1: of somebody perhaps rolling down the road. Uh. And it's
- 31:54Speaker 1: it's it's it goes from an abrasion to a tearing
- 31:57Speaker 1: laceration where it's kind of rip ripped through. And as
- 32:01Speaker 1: the police began to work the scene where Noah's found,
- 32:06Speaker 1: it wasn't just teeth. You know that. We're out there
- 32:08Speaker 1: at the scene and we'll get to that in just
- 32:10Speaker 1: a second. But you know, Dave, they actually found a
- 32:12Speaker 1: clump of hair and skin away from the body in
- 32:16Speaker 1: the middle of the road, which means that's probably hair
- 32:21Speaker 1: that is attached to a portion of the scalp that
- 32:23Speaker 1: was torn away it was laying there. Again, that requires
- 32:26Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of force. You've got the buttock. The
- 32:33Speaker 1: right buttock is traumatized. Here's another thing that you know,
- 32:39Speaker 1: we talked about teeth, both upper and lower. So you're
- 32:44Speaker 1: talking about your maxillary teeth, which are your upper teeth,
- 32:47Speaker 1: and your mangellary teeth, which are embedded in your jaw.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Your lower teeth they're broken and they're in fragments, and
- 32:54Speaker 1: you've also got upper and lower teeth that are strewn
- 32:59Speaker 1: across the roadway. Dave. You know when when people talk
- 33:03Speaker 1: about having trauma to the mouth and they lose a tooth,
- 33:07Speaker 1: what do they say. They generally don't say I got
- 33:10Speaker 1: my teeth knocked out. They say I got a tooth
- 33:13Speaker 1: knocked out. Right, Brother, he's got teeth that are fractured
- 33:19Speaker 1: and missing, Okay, that are strewn about. Now we have
- 33:23Speaker 1: to think that again, this could be a high velocity
- 33:26Speaker 1: impact event where he may very well have fallen on
- 33:30Speaker 1: the ground. But you know, my thought was, well, it
- 33:35Speaker 1: obviously involves a head more than likely that depressed area
- 33:38Speaker 1: in the skull that generated the initial injury. But now
- 33:41Speaker 1: you've got teeth that are coming out of his head.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Like a curb stomp. That's well, yeah, I don't know,
- 33:49Speaker 3: But with fractured teeth. It's certainly I'd like to know.
- 33:52Speaker 3: I think one of the things I'd be very interested
- 33:55Speaker 3: in knowing, and I don't necessarily have this information. I
- 34:00Speaker 3: would like to know what kind of trauma existed relative
- 34:06Speaker 3: to the exterior of the mouth, like the lips and
- 34:10Speaker 3: the jaw.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Now, he did have a cut on his lip, and
- 34:13Speaker 2: he had a cut on his tongue. But can I
- 34:17Speaker 2: back up to something absolutely sure? Okay, you mentioned the
- 34:21Speaker 2: clump of hair that was found in the middle of
- 34:23Speaker 2: the highway. Well, there was a clump of hair that
- 34:28Speaker 2: was observed on the right buttock without blood or tissue,
- 34:34Speaker 2: and it was specific to that without blood or tissue. Yes,
- 34:41Speaker 2: And it was different than the clump of hair that
- 34:44Speaker 2: was found in the middle of the road. It was
- 34:45Speaker 2: like this that he was tortured the hair and it
- 34:50Speaker 2: was put there for a reason.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And who's to know what the dynamic
- 34:55Speaker 1: of this event is. He is nude, so how how
- 35:00Speaker 1: with hair from the head? Presumably, And they don't specify
- 35:04Speaker 1: what the nature of the hair is. I mean, it
- 35:06Speaker 1: might be pubic hair, I guess, Yeah, could be hair
- 35:08Speaker 1: off of his chest. I have no idea, but they
- 35:12Speaker 1: do make a point of that where they're talking about
- 35:14Speaker 1: a clump of hair. Clump of hair gives you an
- 35:19Speaker 1: idea that something has been pulled loose right, that it
- 35:22Speaker 1: has been taken out at the root perhaps or broken
- 35:25Speaker 1: off superior to the root ball, and that this has
- 35:30Speaker 1: been left behind. How does that hair? And I think
- 35:33Speaker 1: a question I would ask as a forensics guy, I'd
- 35:36Speaker 1: want to validate that hair. I'd want to know was
- 35:38Speaker 1: it Noah's hair? First off? Was it human hair? Was
- 35:42Speaker 1: it an animal? We're talking about it out in the
- 35:43Speaker 1: wild and there's animal hair on the roadway, you know,
- 35:46Speaker 1: I'd argue that, I'd say, well, how do we know
- 35:49Speaker 1: the provenance of the hair? You know, what's point of origin?
- 35:52Speaker 1: What species is it? Is it his? Does it? Does
- 35:56Speaker 1: it look like his hair color? Is he missing hair
- 35:59Speaker 1: that had been torn out?
- 36:01Speaker 2: Other than the possibility animal could have done it.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I don't know that. That's just it. And to this point,
- 36:07Speaker 1: I don't see any evidence that an animal has been
- 36:09Speaker 1: involved in this. I would just like to know the
- 36:12Speaker 1: origin of it. You know, all we can do in
- 36:14Speaker 1: forensics is document what we see there. It's hard to
- 36:18Speaker 1: really extrapolate further than that, but it is it is
- 36:23Speaker 1: certainly an interesting finding. I don't know that I've ever
- 36:27Speaker 1: seen that kind of phraseology before that.
- 36:29Speaker 2: I haven't, and I read these things all the time,
- 36:32Speaker 2: and I have done stories where a hair was pulled out,
- 36:35Speaker 2: you know, it just sounds like the most painful thing.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Of course, on this list of things, I'm still beyond
- 36:43Speaker 2: the pale Joe. But the he's bleeding out of his ears, Yes,
- 36:48Speaker 2: got teeth thrown everywhere, And bleeding.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Out of the ears is consistent with the hinge fracture,
- 36:52Speaker 1: by the way, and you would probably also, yeah, and
- 36:54Speaker 1: you'd probably if looking closely, you could probably see cerebral
- 36:58Speaker 1: spinal fluid. You know how they when you're a kid,
- 37:01Speaker 1: and if you take a first A class, they tell
- 37:03Speaker 1: you to look for a clear fluid coming from the ears.
- 37:05Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm talking about. So you'll get this
- 37:07Speaker 1: kind of co mingled with a hinge fracture. You'll see
- 37:13Speaker 1: kind of a commingled cerebral spinal fluid along with blood.
- 37:18Speaker 1: And it's got kind of a straw color to it.
- 37:20Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, pathologists will describe it as
- 37:23Speaker 1: having a straw like appearance, the color of straw, and
- 37:27Speaker 1: it's tinged with blood, so that would come from from
- 37:30Speaker 1: that area. And again that goes to something has happened
- 37:35Speaker 1: that has compromised the structural integrity of the spinal column
- 37:39Speaker 1: with this displacement. And brother, it wasn't just as C one.
- 37:42Speaker 1: You know, I failed to mention that he's got a
- 37:45Speaker 1: fractured C two, which obviously is just beneath the C
- 37:48Speaker 1: one and C six. We're going down the column now.
- 37:52Speaker 1: C six and C seven were also fractured to varying degrees.
- 37:57Speaker 1: And there's multiple features on each one of these things.
- 37:59Speaker 1: You've got these horns that are on it, and there's
- 38:02Speaker 1: various anatomical features where it can be fractured. Again. You know,
- 38:07Speaker 1: vertebral bodies, just in and of themselves are one of
- 38:10Speaker 1: the most They are a very robust bone. And when
- 38:13Speaker 1: I say that they're thick, they they're therefore I mean,
- 38:17Speaker 1: think about what they're protecting, man, I mean, they're protecting
- 38:20Speaker 1: your spinal column. It's just like the skull, particularly on
- 38:24Speaker 1: the back, is very robust and thick. It's it is
- 38:27Speaker 1: that way for a very specific reason. So you've defeated
- 38:34Speaker 1: the impact has essentially defeated this naturally occurring structure within
- 38:39Speaker 1: the body that is meant to take a tremendous amount
- 38:42Speaker 1: of punishment. So how, you know, how does it account
- 38:46Speaker 1: for all of these other insults that he has all
- 38:49Speaker 1: over his body? And again, you know, look, I've got
- 38:53Speaker 1: a state full disclosure here. You know, he's got what
- 38:56Speaker 1: they're describing as grazes. There's abrasions, and you've got them
- 39:02Speaker 1: on multiple, multiple surfaces, which many times are associated with
- 39:06Speaker 1: rollover injuries. So if you've got scrapes and abrasions and
- 39:09Speaker 1: they're kind of wrap what they call wrap around injuries,
- 39:13Speaker 1: that's traditionally what you're looking for. So if the if
- 39:16Speaker 1: the vehicle is spinning, the body will be spinning, okay,
- 39:18Speaker 1: and you hit asphalt gravel, you're going to get this
- 39:22Speaker 1: horrible dynamic that where you'll have these upbraided and they'll
- 39:25Speaker 1: they'll be linear many times, and they'll cut a wide swath.
- 39:30Speaker 1: You know, I'll never forget. I had a cousin of
- 39:32Speaker 1: mine who was literally run over by a dump truck
- 39:38Speaker 1: when he was working on a levy in Louisiana. He
- 39:40Speaker 1: had the tire tracks across his Uh. He's got this
- 39:43Speaker 1: great picture of tire tracks running across his chest. Uh.
- 39:47Speaker 1: You can actually his tandem wheels and you can see it.
- 39:49Speaker 1: And he survived, but he had all those and I
- 39:51Speaker 1: remember it from when I was a little kid. We
- 39:53Speaker 1: were amazed. I mean, we thank god that he survived.
- 39:55Speaker 1: He wound up becoming a preacher, and yeah, it does.
- 40:00Speaker 1: And you could see all that one. Yeah, you could
- 40:02Speaker 1: see all these abrasions, and that's it was. The tire
- 40:05Speaker 1: tread itself left an impression. But it's also braiding the
- 40:08Speaker 1: skin as it's rolling over. You take that and you
- 40:11Speaker 1: think about the dynamic of a body flying through the
- 40:13Speaker 1: air and spinning makes contact with a rough surface like
- 40:16Speaker 1: a roadway, You're going to get those same kind of rasions.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Dave, Well, Joe, Now, there were other things that were
- 40:25Speaker 2: on his body that they were able to determine that.
- 40:27Speaker 2: We're in various stages of healing abrasions and scabs and
- 40:31Speaker 2: what have you. But with have you ever seen have
- 40:38Speaker 2: you ever seen anything like this where there wasn't some
- 40:42Speaker 2: type of mechanical failure with a car, a boat being
- 40:45Speaker 2: thrown from a building, of any number of things. This
- 40:48Speaker 2: is ostensibly a kid, a nineteen year old young man
- 40:51Speaker 2: leaves a party after an argument and is by himself
- 40:55Speaker 2: and ends up with all these injuries. Police are saying
- 40:57Speaker 2: they're not investigating it like it's a murder. There By
- 41:01Speaker 2: the way, for those who think there was a hit
- 41:02Speaker 2: and run involved to cause these types of injuries, there
- 41:07Speaker 2: was no, uh, there's nothing indicating there was a hit
- 41:10Speaker 2: and run. There were no parts of a car.
- 41:14Speaker 1: No skid marks, nothing, nothing. And look one other thing.
- 41:17Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't mean to jump on you here,
- 41:19Speaker 1: or not jump on you, but interrupt you. When you
- 41:22Speaker 1: think about a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle, there's
- 41:25Speaker 1: something that we refer to as bumper marks. So if
- 41:28Speaker 1: you're talking about being struck in the thigh or the
- 41:30Speaker 1: lower legs, you'll have a definitive line. And think about
- 41:35Speaker 1: a bumper on a car, it makes sense. It's two
- 41:39Speaker 1: parallel lines like this running hors and the horizontal plane.
- 41:42Speaker 1: They're striking you if you're standing erect and you can
- 41:46Speaker 1: clearly see that many times, Dave, I've even seen grill
- 41:49Speaker 1: impressions on bodies where I saw I can't remember sink
- 41:54Speaker 1: it was a buick Where I saw the buick the
- 41:58Speaker 1: buick emblem literally pressed into the skin. And so that's
- 42:04Speaker 1: a classic finding and grill marks too classic finding of
- 42:09Speaker 1: a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle. But you're you're
- 42:13Speaker 1: not hearing You're not hearing this, and so I think
- 42:16Speaker 1: that's their default position is falling out of the back
- 42:20Speaker 1: of a truck as opposed to being struck by a
- 42:22Speaker 1: vehicle that is going through the person out me through literally.
- 42:27Speaker 1: But you know where where you've got a static individual
- 42:31Speaker 1: stand in the middle of the road and they're struck
- 42:32Speaker 1: by vehicle, those injuries are going to look different. And
- 42:35Speaker 1: this is this is almost and here's here's another theory.
- 42:40Speaker 1: I really, I really wonder Dave all of these injuries
- 42:46Speaker 1: that he sustained. I'm wondering, I'm really wondering if he
- 42:53Speaker 1: if he had come out of a vehicle wound up
- 42:55Speaker 1: on the roadway. Was there another vehicle that passed by
- 42:58Speaker 1: that didn't see him in the middle of the night
- 43:00Speaker 1: and then ran over him again that has happened. It's
- 43:04Speaker 1: a dark road. He was not found until the next morning.
- 43:08Speaker 1: There was a trucker that found him, you know, there
- 43:12Speaker 1: in the light of day. I think that all of
- 43:15Speaker 1: these things have to be factored in to the totality
- 43:19Speaker 1: of these circumstances to try to understand it, and then
- 43:23Speaker 1: there's this specter that people keep talking about. I don't
- 43:26Speaker 1: know how to either validate it or invalidated. I'm in
- 43:30Speaker 1: the same position I think that the medical examiner is
- 43:33Speaker 1: in just talking. Of course, I don't have that level
- 43:35Speaker 1: of responsibility here, but that's the pieces of the puzzle
- 43:40Speaker 1: for the me to put this thing together so that
- 43:42Speaker 1: they can actually come up with a ruling where they're
- 43:45Speaker 1: going to say, Okay, this was an accident, this was
- 43:47Speaker 1: a homicide, or however they're going to come down on
- 43:50Speaker 1: this thing. I wonder what it will be that will
- 43:54Speaker 1: push them toward that decision. Because I got to tell you, Dave,
- 43:59Speaker 1: all this data, all this data, the timeline, the information
- 44:05Speaker 1: about an ATV accident that still remains a mystery, and
- 44:11Speaker 1: the combination of all of these injuries and their documentation
- 44:17Speaker 1: feels as though we still don't have any more answers
- 44:22Speaker 1: than when we first started. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan, and
- 44:27Speaker 1: this is Bodybacks
