• 3:01
  Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. And now what do
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we know in the disappearance of Mariah. What we know
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: now is that at am on November Earl Chimray made
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a call to the Ansel County Emergency Center stating that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the little girl who lived in his trailer, uh Mariah Woods,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is missing. And we listened to a nine one one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: call that it goes for more than six minutes, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we hear Mr Kimry speaking and he sounds as if
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he's very winded as he's talking to the operator who's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: trying to ascertain what exactly is going on out at
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Dawson Cabin Road. And he repeats repeatedly that we've searched,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that we've searched the inside of the house several times
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and the yard itself, and we cannot find our little
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: girl is missing. You know, it just it just turns
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: my stomach to hear it. Make you because we know
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that police say he boyfriend, Earl him Ray, the second
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: new very well where Mariah was at that at that time,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that she was dead. And lying face down in a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: creek a couple of miles from home. She couldn't possibly
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: have gotten there on her own. And you hear and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: then I'm only call he says, quote, they've looked everywhere
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for her, and they've checked in the house quote two
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: or three times, and the yard. You can hear him saying,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: our three year old is nowhere to be found. We've
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: looked everywhere in our house and out in our yard,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and our little girl she's missing. Right now, Mike mcq,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a photo of Maria and this is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the one I will forever associate with her. And a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pink dress up dress, fluffy dress and little fake drop earrings,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: her hair pulled back with a pink t yard and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a bow on it like from a package, a big
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: pink bow. And she has her baby doll dressed in
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: pink with a pink headband, and she's feeding the baby
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: doll with a pink bottle. This is how I think
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Mariah woulds I don't want to think of her face
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: down in a great dead And now the nine one
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: one call emerges. I mean the depth of deception, Mike McHugh. Yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and let me expand on what you just said there there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Nancy too that this this is the area in which
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Mariah was founded, was not just around the corner from
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: their home. It was twenty one miles from their home.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And the only source of transportation in this family had
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: was van, which was later seized on their search warrant. Uh.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Mr Kimry sounds very h exhausted, UM, and very excited
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in that nine one one tape. And like you said,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: knowing now what we do know, UM, he had a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: very busy Uh. It sounds as though he had allegedly
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a very dizzy morning late evening on the seven in November,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: because that's where the body was was taken down the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Shaw Highway in Pender County, the neighboring county from Onslo County. Um,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you talk about all of the uh, the the images
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you see there and describe it in the pink color.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Are looking at the items that were sived from the house.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We see a pink the jama, we see a pink blanket,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We see pink and blue pillows, we see pink ft
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and Mariah's favorite color obviously was pink. You know when
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you say that, it just it just kills me because um, Troy, Karen,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Scott. You know my my children there now ten,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and I remember Lucy's favorite color I think was pink,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but she insisted that was purple, so she could be different,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and everything was pink and purple. Joe Scott, Morgan, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: have seen so many dead bodies, and that includes the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: bodies of children, as have I. And to hear Mike
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Mhugh talking about her favorite color. And now she's in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a coffin and we're looking at a death penalty trial.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Joe Scott, how are they going to prove it? Well,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: one of the big things here Nancy is gonna be
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: toxicology in this particular case, because they've they've listed this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: as as uh as she had toxic levels of of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: chloroform in her system. And as you know, and maybe
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: some of our listeners don't, when we do when we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: draw blood in the morgue, we do a standard panel
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for things that we look for. Chloroform form is not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: one of them. Uh So I think that the police
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: are going to have a tremendous amount of evidence physical
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: evidence they recovered at the scene, uh evidence of chloroform
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: or the ability to make chloroform. Uh. It probably made
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: them scratch their heads in the beginning, and then when
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they couple that with what they saw at autopsy and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: these chemical tests this little girl suffered. Nancy, it's a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: horrible way to die. UM. It's a neurotoxin UM. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in addition to that, it caused her, uh, it caused
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: her liver to go into acute failure. And this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a horrible way to die. We're talking about vomiting, severe headaches, UM,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: probably seizures as well. At the depth of depravity here. Uh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that that this this guy engaged in with this little
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: girl and other things that have come up in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: past that we've talked about with her. UM. I think
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that they're not going to have a real hard time
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in court with this, you know, just listening to him speak,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Mike McHugh, it is now definitely going to be a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: death penalty prosecution. Is that correct? Absolutely? Um. We had
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a Rule twenty four hearing on Monday this week, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in that, District Attorney Ernie Lee Um told the court
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that his office was pursuing this as a capital case.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: In North Carolina, the district attorneys have eleven aggravating circumstances
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: from which the shoes Uh, to go forward with a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: capital case. Uh, there by statute um, and I'm looking
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at it right now, and uh on the number nine
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: is murder that was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel. That's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: how it's written. And I think this case, given what
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we know so far, um, would fit that criteria. Uh.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: District Attorney Ernie Lee has been doing this. Uh. He's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: been a prosecutor for thirty one years, eight of which
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: as the elected officialist district attorney. He's handled eight capital
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: cases and he's come away with four death sentences in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: his tenure as prosecutor. So this is not his first
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: time around around the block. And Mike, for those of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: us who are not lawyers or journalists in North Carolina,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in that state, a rule twenty four hearing is before
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I judge in the first degree murder case where the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: state will say if it's seeking the death penalty. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in this case they said yes absolutely, um, and they
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: are moving fast on this. Uh. This you know. Kimrie
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was arrested on was charged on January with the murder,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and he went his case went before the grand jury
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on February thirteen, and a day or so later, Mr
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Lee came out telling in a press release that he
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was seeking the death penaltiness. This is moving very quickly.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Kimrie will be back in court on April um where
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: council will be there, just to make sure that everybody
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is on board and moving forward. There's talk um in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the court and on the street, um with other people
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: close to the case, that perhaps the venue change is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in store because of all the publicity that this case
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: has garnered thus far. But people are are are talking about.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: We had a press conference with the sheriff, Sheriff Hans
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Miller after the hearing, and he said that quote, um,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the case is now in the judicial world. Um, let
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the attorney's battle out there. But then he went on
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to say that this is an ongoing investigation, leaving the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: door open for possible future charges. And that's always thing
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that everybody has been talking about. What will happen with
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Christie Wood, Mariah's mother. Will she be charged in any way?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, that was my very next question.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Did the mother, little Mariah's mother know what was going
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: on in that home? According to Maria's biological father, she did,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: is that true? Listen to her mother begging for Mariah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: her three year old little girls returned. Please bring her
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: back and I love her. Do anything that I can't,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. Sprag her home, Please save the sound.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: She's my baby, She's by everything. What does she means
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to you and your family in this community? She's like
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: an angel. I have my twoths tied and burnt on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: each side. I felt out I was pregnant with her,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: so we call her our little angel. She's got the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: personality of make you laugh. She's goofy, outgoing, talkative. She
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: knows how to make your day brighter. A lot to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: this community and people that are here looking for her
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: love her to death. What would it means for you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to see her face again? Everything in the world, just
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to be able to touch her and hold her, not
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: let her go again? Do I give anything? Tack Donsla
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff Department, please and let us know. And if
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: whoever has her, please, I'm begging you bring her home
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: safe to choice. Lton l a defense attorney joining us.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Do you predict charges on Mariah's mother or will she
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be held as a witness for the prosecution in a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: death penalty gas against her boyfriend? Nancy? First, let me
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: say that my my heart breaks for the family of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this little girl and everybody involved, whether the death penalty
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is sought against him, whether charges are brought against the mother,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: this is a tragedy. But as far as the mother,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor knows what they know at this point, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they may very well, for tactical reasons, be waiting to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: charge her in order to try and get information from
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: her to help with their main prosecution, which is the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: death penalty case against this guy. And it seems to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: me that with regard to the death penalty, his defense
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: attorneys are going to be trying to save his life,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and once the death penalty is on the table, the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: whole shift in focus in the defense case becomes trying
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to save the person's life. Well, speaking of the biological father,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Alex Woods, this is what he tells me. This was
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just after his little girl's body had been found. Have
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they told you how they think she was killed? Alex, No,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: not yet. They as soon as they found her body,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they rushed Greenville, North Carolina. Well, they was gonna perform
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the autopsy and I'll find out further information on how, when, why, not? Why?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But how and when and all that information, Alex, do
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: they believe that Mariah was molested. I have not. I
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: do not know that me. They can I have, yes,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I think so. I hope and pray, not just for
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the peace of mind, but I think so. Yes. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: have not heard that from nobody, because you know, they
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: now just doing the autopsics. So I don't know alex
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: was she clothed when she was found. I had no idea.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They did not tell me. All they told me was
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that they found my baby girl. They frown Mariah about
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from where we're at, twenty minutes away
• 15:10

  Speaker 1: we are saying. She said she putting her bed in
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: or laying beside her bed. Okay, so she's not in bed.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm they're they're picking footy. But Jolas, I can't recall.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It's like I wish your way to bed because I
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: didn't dress her okay. And he sat there on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: floor because the four in her room. And I see
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: how any kind of tactable device with us star like
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a tablet or anything that we can turn to the end. No,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and who have to legal custody there? Sorry? The mother
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Christie Woods? Is that what a ch r see blue jay? Okay?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Now was there any letters or anything left behind? Do
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you think anyone got it? Just? She ses, if you,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you look okay, and they
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have an answer. Where he was the golf? See, I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: thought you said the first name was you're fading out
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: againswer Hello, yes, he so the name is yes, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: am area to Karen Start New York psychologists. Whether the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: mom knew about alleged molestation or drugs in the home
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: or not remains to be seen. But I mean, practically speaking,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: how could she not know, Karen, It's hard to believe
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that she didn't know. But then again, Nancy, we all
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: have trouble wrapping our minds around the fact that she
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: would have allowed this to go on with awareness that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: her daughter was being subjected to this stepfather. And we
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: find in many cases like this that the women are
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: so desperate to hang on to the men that they're
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: with that they actually bargain away their children to keep
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the relationships. They have no sense of their own worth
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and don't have the kind of motherly instincts that we
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: would normally believe any mother would have. As you were talking,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, you know, I'm I've never been I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: always raised an eyebrow. Anytime I hear people say the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: boyfriend is in the house, the boyfriend is in the house.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And any time I work a homicide and there is uh,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know, our our awareness is already raised anytime you
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: have a death within the family toward other family members,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: but you start talking about these other peripherals, I'll put
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it that come into the environment, this kid, this this guy,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: this man didn't have any interest in this child, the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: well being of the child, and too uh in that extends,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I think obviously to the mother in this case as well.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: She had no interest in the in the welfare of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: this child. If she did, she wouldn't bring this type
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of person into this environment with this little angel. You know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you were talking about her her dressing up. Nancy, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: got I got two girls, you know. I see her
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and I see this horrible world that she lives, and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: she probably had escape into this fantasy world wearing her dress,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is thinking she's a princess. And then right down the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: hall is this monster that's living in the house with them. Now,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: let's go now to Sheriff Hans Miller speaking to reporters
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and the autopsy. The toxicology, of course, showed that she
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: died from chloroform class and chloroform. How can you explain
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: how that happened and how the suspect became chloroform? Well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: there was much information the scientific in nature. Obviously, we
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: have to depend on what science tells us. But there
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: is a lot of information that we cannot legally or
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: should not put out. It will come out in court.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We suspect that this chemical was used to disable the child,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and according to the autopsy report, it led to her death,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: which was really unfortunate. As we all know. At what
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: point did that happen? Do you believe that that happened? Well, again,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the details of the investigation, I know the answer. However,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that is something it needs to wait until it comes
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: out to court. So the chemical was the cause and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of death, and let's wait and let's be patient until
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the court case. Until we answer that question. You think
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that chemical couloriform, I am not able to answer that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: at this point will be uh Well, arrests in our
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: system of justice, and arrest is only made if probable
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: cause is achieved. We have tried very actively to explore
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: every lead, every h every bit of evidence was used,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and at this point we do not have any additional
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: evidence that would lead to another arrest. That does not
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: mean that this investigation is closed. That means that we're
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: just not there to make another rest at this point.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: The mother, Christie Woods has been involved in helping with
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: this mess. She has been cooperative and that she has
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: provided information that led to this investigation. And again to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: re answer the other question about any additional arrests, this
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: investigation is not over. However, we have to make sure
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that we have probable cause, but that probably cause now
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: rest Were there any visible signs of a sexual assault? Well, again,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that's going to be part of the court and I
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: don't well, I understand that you want a lot more information.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So we asked to ask you to police respect us
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and UH let that case come out in court. Let
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that information come out in court, because we don't want
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to jepanize the work case and we certainly do not
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: want to poison the jury. We know where these sex
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: abuse allegations came from, the brothers that lived there in
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the home, the older brothers of Mariah, Mike Mhugh. What now, Well,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: like UH Sheriff Miller said, the it's an ongoing investigation.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: They're still trying to uncover more evidence. I spoke to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Walter Paramourn that he's a defense attorney for Mr Cameron,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: he's court appointed, and he told me on the sidewalk
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: outside the district Attorney's office moments before the Rule four
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: hearing was to take place. I asked him, I said,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: do you expect more charges? Do you? Could you see
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Christie Woods being charged? And he said rhetorically back to me, Mike,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you're a smart guy. Think about it. They live in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a seventy ft single wide trailer. Um, she didn't know
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: what was going on in that house. What we need,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: what the what the what the prosecutor needs and what
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the investigators need is probable cause. But you could come
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: up with perhaps aiding and a betting or obstruction of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: justice right off the top of your head and try
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to apply that to her. So I don't think it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: over as far as it goes with the mother in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: this incident, um, because they were admittedly all there at
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the same time when they got back from their trip
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: from Raleys November and went to bed sometime they're saying
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: between eight and eight thirty, UM. So yeah, I'm sure
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that's what investigators are continuing to focus on. We asked
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Hans Miller in the press conference after the Rule twenties
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: hearing if Christie Woods was still cooperating as she was
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: supposedly doing during the investigation. On the week of November
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, and um he he said that she was.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: We asked, then, do you have a location where she's at?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And he hedged on that one, answering it, well, if
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I say where she is now and she happened to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: move from that location, then it would be a false
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: statement that I made. Um. We believe that she's in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the area, though, Um, she hasn't been sighted. Um out
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you know, in the community. So UM two very location.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: We're not sure, but I'm sure investigators are still focusing
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: on her and trying to build probable cause and evidence.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Listen, Judge in e t c r S.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Five o five oh three, the defendant has been indicted
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: as a February by the Oslo Kenny Grand Jury with

  Speaker 1: of the two charges and numerous of the League and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Leo gul We are awaiting and watching the case, hoping
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that justice will unfold. A nineteen year old University of
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: South Carolina girl is dead? But why straight out to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Larry Mayher Crime Stories investigative reporter. So far we know
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that a South Carolina so called sorority girl, just nineteen
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: years old, is dead nineteen year old Rachel Bandman, who
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: goes to University South Carolina in Colombia, found dead. Now
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: very very unusual set of circumstances. First of all, Larry Mayheer,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: how was she found? Her roommates found her dead in
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: her off campus apartment. That's right, you know, you think
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you would be safe just five blocks from campus, right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Um officials initially ruled the kai Omega so the sister's
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: death suspicious, not really understanding what had happened. But then
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: everything changed. Larry may hurt. What did they determine was
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: her cause of death? It was determined that she died
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of an overdose of the opioid oxy coda with me
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Dr William Moroney, medical examiner and author of a bestseller
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: now on Amazon American Narcan. Also with us George skiro
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: forensics expert. You know, Dr William Moroney. We know that
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: this young sorority girl had one oxyconton people too many
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: for her small frame. But why would that lead Why
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: would police be led to a criminal investigation? What about
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the scene made them suspicious? When they look at the scene,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you have to decide how she took the medicine and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: if she took the medicine with the assistance of another person.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Then that is when an accident can become a homicide.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: In our local community, a husband and wife injected each
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: other with methadone, and that's very different than just having
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it on the table and taking it. When the husband died,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: because the wife injected the husband, she was charged with
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: homicide because number one, it's a dangerous activity. Number two,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it's a dangerous drug. And there's something about how the
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: medicine was administered. And when people take these drugs orally,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: they have to take a lot of them, so you're
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: taking an abnormal amount to get what you want. Sometimes
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: they crushed them and snort them. Sometimes they crush them
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and dilute them and inject them. And every time you
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: break down them with water to inject them. But if
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you break the formulation down to use it in a
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: way that it's not meant to be used, that's premeditation.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: An accident is I have arthritis. I take it for arthritis.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Something happened and I died, but I was taking it
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: from arthritis. If it's an illegal activity, these are non
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: medical uses. That is somebody coming in and this you're
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: gonna see this from the federal government more than ever before.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: They're gonna hold the sellers and the dealers accountable for
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the death of the people from these drugs because these
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: people are addicted now, their brains are hijacked, and the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Harrison Narcotic Act often makes it illegal to give any
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: addict and opiate knowing that they're addicted. This young girl,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a public relations major at usc A chi Omegas already
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: sister from Virginia, was actually found dead by her roommate.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: They lived at Main Street's Hub apartment complex. And this
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: all went down on a typical weekday afternoon. This girl,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Rachel Bandman, just nineteen years old, likely injected with a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: fatal dose of drugs. And we were talking about over
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the counter. We are talking about prescription drugs, prescriptions signed
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: typically by a doctor. OxyContin a painkiller. Now I'm curious
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: about the location, the downtown Hub high rise apartments. Who
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: else lived there? Is their surveillance video? Why is this
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: deemed a homicide versus an accidental overdose? What about it
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: made police suspicious? Oxy codeon oxycon ten Dr William Moroney.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: It is a an epidemic right now in our country,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and now we've got yet another teen girl casualty. The
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: crisis is bigger then you could possibly imagine, and all
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: of these misuse of prescriptions is leading to increased heroin use.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: In her case, if her dealer was setting her up
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: to give her more and give her more, he was
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: setting her up to transfer her off of something else
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to get her into heroin. If this can be proven,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: If he's breaking and crushing tablets that are never meant
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to be breake broken, if he's contributing to that, it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: it's very different non medical. I mean, how do I
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: know somebody didn't just say, hey, try one of these, Uh,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you'll love It'll make you feel good, and then she dies.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Dr Maroney, well you don't know that. But as soon
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: as they change it from accident to homicide, his contributing
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: rule has a much higher percentage in an activity that
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: directly related to something he all own could do and
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: breaking the formulations so that this could be abused, or
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: injecting it or helping or learn how to snort it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: There's evidence there that shows he was involved, and that's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: why it's now homicide. Question why why would it would
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: it have a greater impact on someone of her youth
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and slight frame. I'm talking about a nineteen year old
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: sorority girl UM found dead in her off campus apartment
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of oxycodon. Oxycodon or OxyContin is a painkiller typically prescribed
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: by doctors very rie widely. But as a matter of fact,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: IIC code on a powerful narcotic prescription drug that is
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: being used more and more for as they say, recreational use.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: It gives you an illegal quote high. It is one
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of the most popular illegally used drugs in the country
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and as responsible for literally countless deaths. Until this hearing
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that has just gone down, Bandman's cause of death had
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: not been publicly announced. After her death, law enforcement reported
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: no signs of trauma and no forced entry into her room.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: To you, George Skiro, you're the forensics expert. What does
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that mean to you? No trauma on her body and
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: no forced entry into her off campus apartment, Well, that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: indicates to me that an intruder wasn't involved, or someone
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: forcibly perhaps made her take take the drugs UM. What
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the investigators probably looked for. They looked for, probably UM
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to see what other types of medications she may have
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: had in her apartment, whether there was any alcohol involved. Uh,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: but also they probably begin looking at, you know, where
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: did she get these drugs and where they obtained through
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: legal method or where they obtained off the street zone.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: But it has now been classified as homicide, meaning she
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: was deliberately killed. Deliberately killed now a bizarre twist to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Larry may her the hearing has just gone down in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: which her cause of death was publicly disclosed. What more
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: do we know about the investigation. The prosecution has been
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: kind of tight lipped about the turn in the investigation
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: from accident to homicide. The suspect is identified as twenty
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: two year old Anthony Hunt, who lives in Columbia, South Carolina,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and who at the time of his arrest was out
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: on bail awaiting trial on another drug chart that he
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: is the only person identified as being involved in this
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: case other than the victim. However, investigators have let it
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: be known that they believe the man charged in this
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: case intentionally gave Rachel Bandman a dosage of oxy codone
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: that he knew would kill her. Wow, how do you
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: gauge that, Dr William Moroney? This guy Hunt gave her
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: a dose that he knew would kill her and another
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: warning the Hub apartment high rise where she lived is
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a very popular downtown apartment complex, just a few blocks
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: in the USC main campus. It's a twenty one story
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: tower housing about eight hundred and fifty USC students and
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: parents of those students better be worried because this killer,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: alleged killer, has been walking amongst their children. Go ahead.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: When you look at the intent of OxyContin eight milligram,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: you have a steel worker, a guy who pours concrete.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: He blows a disk in his back. He can't get
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the surgery right away, he's got to go back to work.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: The doctor prescribes two or three of these eighty milligrams
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a day. And this is a two pound steel worker
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: pushes concrete, drives a double axle truck. You deliver that
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: same product two hundred and five pound. Sociology major, that's insane.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: You're inviting disaster. And if there's any other drugs involved,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: that would make it more potent. Because of polypharmacy, you're
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: mixing things, it's a lot more dangerous. Or you're mixing
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it with alcohol, or your changing the routed delivery from
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: a simple oral system to breaking it the snort, or
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: in making a solution to inject you're premeditatedly trying to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: break this and become much more active to force an abuse.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: The brain is hijacked. This person needs something. It's a
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: chronic relapsing brain disease, and you're supplying something now that's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: deadly based on concentration or route of delivery. And that's
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: why they would change from accident to how many people
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Dr Maroney don't think they're quote doing drugs when they
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: use a prescription pill. They think that is somehow safer
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: than doing heroin or cocaine, but it's just as deadly.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: There really is no difference between oxycoton and heroin. Almost chemically,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: they're they're almost the same. Nancy. The devastation caused by
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the opioid epidemic in South Carolina is so large, In fact,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Governor Henry McMaster outlined it in his State of the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: State address recently. Another threat that we face comes in
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: pill form. It's hardly recognized book by most people. The
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: opioid epidemic is affecting every state in the country. You've
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: read about it, but it's not a typical crime problem.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: This is a crisis born of human pain and suffering.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: This is something different. This is something we have not
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: seen before. Fifty four of the pills on the street
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: come from your neighbor's medicine cabinet in an unused prescription
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: of too many pills. For the last three years, we've
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: had more opioid related deaths in South Carolina than homicides
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: and drunk driving deaths combined. In two thousand and sixteen,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: this silent hurricane killed six hundred and sixteen people in
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: our state. It's not just the pills. Addictions intensify from
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: one substance to another. From two thousand fourteen to two
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, right here, hero and deaths increase sixty seven percent.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Since two thousand fifteen, SLED has seen a more than
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: seven hundred per sent increase in the number of drug
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: cases involving faninal related compounds. We must take a strong,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: new bold approach to this unprecedented threat. It consists of
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: what I call a full court press, including awareness, information,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: and treatment. Last month, I declared a statewide public health
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: emergency in South Carolina because of opioids. This allows us
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: to bring the full power of the state's emergency management infrastructure,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: health care apparatus, and law enforcement resources to bear as
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: a single team upon the growing epidemic of opioid deaths,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: addiction and abuse. A comprehensive informational website has been established.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Doctors are now wanting the patients that opioids which make
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: the procedure of pain free, may also make the patient
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: an addict. Usually five days worth of pills is all
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: it takes to produce an addict. Disposal protocols are being established.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Our task force is scouring the country for ideas. Work
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, this is something on which we must
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: get busy. We must solve this crisis in South Carolina.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Why a nineteen year old University of South Carolina girl
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: is dead? The investigation goes on Nancy Grace crime story
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: signing off Goodbye friend.
