- 1:11Speaker 1: police are trying to figure out how a Google engineer
- 1:13Speaker 1: ended up dead in San Francisco Bay. The young woman
- 1:16Speaker 1: was discovered floating naked in the water last week. It's
- 1:19Speaker 1: a tranquil setting here along the Bay trail that stretches
- 1:22Speaker 1: through mountain View and Sunnyville. But that sense of peace
- 1:24Speaker 1: was interrupted last Thursday when a passer by saw a
- 1:27Speaker 1: naked body of a woman floating in the water. A
- 1:30Speaker 1: citizen actually writing their bike this morning saw the body
- 1:33Speaker 1: in the water. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's dive team
- 1:36Speaker 1: recovered the body of twenty three year old Chu Chu
- 1:38Speaker 1: Ma the same day. Police say her boyfriend filed a
- 1:41Speaker 1: missing person's report with Mountain View Police. We're talking to family,
- 1:45Speaker 1: We're talking your friends, were talking to acquaintances. A gorgeous
- 1:49Speaker 1: young woman, a Google engineer, Brains and beauty goes missing.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for
- 2:00Speaker 1: being with us. I want to go straight out first
- 2:04Speaker 1: to Drew Nelson, Crime Stories contributing reporter Drew, please explain
- 2:09Speaker 1: to me when this young girl, uh, brains and beauty
- 2:16Speaker 1: goes missing? How do we know she went missing? Her
- 2:19Speaker 1: boyfriend reported her missing in mountain View, California. Joining me
- 2:24Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgen, forensics expert and Professor Forensics at Jacksonville
- 2:29Speaker 1: State University. Joe Scott right there, when a boyfriend reports
- 2:35Speaker 1: a young lady and I'm talking specifically about twenty three
- 2:38Speaker 1: year old to last named Ma. The boyfriend becomes the
- 2:45Speaker 1: first suspect, whether they're guilty or not. Explain why that is.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Some people think it's unfair. I don't. No, it's not unfair, Nancy.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It's logical and it's it's pragmatic that the idea here
- 2:57Speaker 1: is that who do we who? Who are we going
- 2:59Speaker 1: to be in most danger with? And that's the intimates
- 3:02Speaker 1: the people that we are most intimate with in our
- 3:04Speaker 1: immediate circle. That's why husbands and boyfriends, wives and girlfriends
- 3:09Speaker 1: are always going to be looked at first in all
- 3:12Speaker 1: of these cases. Joining me, Dr Tiffany Sanders, Chicago psychologist,
- 3:17Speaker 1: Dr Tiffany, thanks so much for weighing in this morning.
- 3:20Speaker 1: We need you. This beautiful young girl, uh Shoe many
- 3:25Speaker 1: people as a nickname called her Choo Choo, was a
- 3:27Speaker 1: software engineer and the developer product team and Uh she
- 3:33Speaker 1: was doing great. She'd been working at Google for a
- 3:35Speaker 1: year and a half and had obtained her degree at
- 3:39Speaker 1: University of Texas at Austin, the police and sunny Vale
- 3:45Speaker 1: state that it's a mystery. Why is it that you
- 3:50Speaker 1: always look at the boyfriend or the husband or the
- 3:53Speaker 1: converse the wife or the girlfriend first, Well, Nancy, in
- 3:58Speaker 1: many cases, you're gonna to ask, why would a stranger
- 4:01Speaker 1: a cost or assault someone someone they don't even know? Right, So,
- 4:06Speaker 1: there there wouldn't be enough reason or motive behind a
- 4:09Speaker 1: random person doing such harm to this young lady, beautiful
- 4:13Speaker 1: young lady. So you want to examine, are there any
- 4:17Speaker 1: situations of domestic violence or conflict within the home or
- 4:23Speaker 1: with intimate family members? Because that would be the only
- 4:26Speaker 1: plausible or rational thought when you wouldn't suspect a random person,
- 4:31Speaker 1: uh just coming up to her. You're right, And when
- 4:34Speaker 1: it boils down to Dr Tiffany and my world, motive
- 4:36Speaker 1: an opportunity, who has the most opportunity to hurt a victim,
- 4:41Speaker 1: the people around her the most, the people that see
- 4:44Speaker 1: her the most. You start with boyfriend, lover, husband, ex boyfriend.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Then you move out family members like father, grandfather, uncle, cousin.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Then you move out next door neighbor. Then you move
- 4:57Speaker 1: out people that live in the apartment complex neighborhood. Then
- 5:00Speaker 1: you move out paper delivery person, uh, FedEx delivery person,
- 5:06Speaker 1: male person, Uh yeah yeah. Then you move out from there.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Um guy at the check out, guy at the parking
- 5:16Speaker 1: garage people she sees at work that you keep moving
- 5:20Speaker 1: out until you find the pro and if it's not
- 5:22Speaker 1: within her circle, then you got a problem because it's
- 5:25Speaker 1: random and you don't know which way to go. But
- 5:28Speaker 1: then back to jun Nelson Crime Stories contributing investigative reporter
- 5:33Speaker 1: Jew again, thank you so much for being with us.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Then let me just fast forward. A tranquil, very peaceful
- 5:40Speaker 1: setting along the San Francisco Bay Trail, which is absolutely stunning.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You know, I took my children on an RV trip.
- 5:48Speaker 1: It was me, my husband, the two children, and my
- 5:50Speaker 1: mother ninety pounds of tiger meat. As I like to
- 5:53Speaker 1: say in an RV. Let me just say, first of all,
- 5:57Speaker 1: June Nelson, because you're gonna one another facts. My mother
- 6:01Speaker 1: took up the entire back two thirds of the r V.
- 6:05Speaker 1: She got the king bed and the little bathroom. It
- 6:09Speaker 1: was all for her. It was just easier that way,
- 6:11Speaker 1: trust me. I slept on a twin bed that was
- 6:15Speaker 1: also a deck sofa that was you know, around the table.
- 6:21Speaker 1: My husband slept on the other side of the table,
- 6:23Speaker 1: and the twins somehow squirreled up in a loft over
- 6:27Speaker 1: the driver's seat. I don't know where we were, but
- 6:30Speaker 1: I learned all over again how to start a fire
- 6:33Speaker 1: with lighter fluid, which I dropped into the fire as
- 6:36Speaker 1: the children were shrieking. My point, Drew Nelson, is that
- 6:40Speaker 1: we ended up at the Golden gate Bridge and I
- 6:44Speaker 1: forced the little labouts to walk across the Golden gate
- 6:48Speaker 1: Bridge with me. They complained bitterly for about the first
- 6:51Speaker 1: two minutes. Then they loved it and we looked out
- 6:55Speaker 1: at the San Francisco Bay and it was like nothing
- 6:59Speaker 1: I've ever seen, but for it was just incredible. And
- 7:04Speaker 1: I've got that in my mind juxtaposed against what I
- 7:09Speaker 1: am going to ask you, that tranquil setting along the
- 7:13Speaker 1: San Francisco Bay Trail, it stretches through Mountain View and
- 7:17Speaker 1: Sunny Vale where Chu Chu goes missing, and was completely
- 7:22Speaker 1: that sense of piece, completely torn apart. What happened to
- 7:30Speaker 1: June Nelson? And imagine this idyllic setting. As you're saying,
- 7:36Speaker 1: there's a cyclist who rides by every day overlooking San
- 7:41Speaker 1: Francisco Bay in Sunny Beale, California, and today, this one day,
- 7:46Speaker 1: he spots a body floating in the bay. He calls
- 7:50Speaker 1: nine one one, and it turns out that this half
- 7:53Speaker 1: naked woman in the bay is choo choo, a half
- 7:58Speaker 1: naked woman. A passerby happens to see the naked body
- 8:03Speaker 1: of a woman floating in the water. A cyclist who
- 8:09Speaker 1: is on the trail all the time named Don Savant
- 8:11Speaker 1: tells us quote, I'm surprised to find that kind of
- 8:16Speaker 1: thing here. He's talking about choo choose naked body. Very sad,
- 8:20Speaker 1: terrible to have it happen anywhere. I guess we all
- 8:23Speaker 1: think that when a crime happens in our world, in
- 8:26Speaker 1: our neighborhood, in our backyard. It's my understanding to Drew
- 8:31Speaker 1: Nelson that the Santa Clara County Sheriff's dive team then
- 8:36Speaker 1: took to the waters. Is that right true? Covered the
- 8:39Speaker 1: body there? That was San Francisco Bay, that's in sunny Ville, Um,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Santa Clara County, and that is just down the way
- 8:48Speaker 1: from Mountain View where she was reported missing by her boyfriend.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Now I want to look at the timeline here. Joe
- 8:55Speaker 1: Scott Morgan Joseph Scott Morgan joining me. Forensics expert, death
- 8:59Speaker 1: in investigator and professor of forensics at Jacksona State University.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Joseph Scott, I'm want to look at the timeline he
- 9:10Speaker 1: the boyfriend reports her missing. That same day, he fills
- 9:16Speaker 1: a missing person's report with Mountain View Police. We don't
- 9:19Speaker 1: know yet how to choose. Body ends up floating naked
- 9:24Speaker 1: in the water, and police are trying to determine if
- 9:27Speaker 1: foul play was involved. Well, let me tell you something,
- 9:29Speaker 1: Joe Scott. If you study the book Methods and Assessment
- 9:34Speaker 1: of Homicide and Suicide, you will know immediately that it
- 9:38Speaker 1: is a cold a in h G double L that
- 9:42Speaker 1: a female is found that commits suicide naked. Now, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: think it's instinctive, or maybe it's just ground into us.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Men don't care. They couldn't care less. Women are practically
- 9:58Speaker 1: statistically never found dead by suicide naked. So let's just
- 10:07Speaker 1: start with what we know. She was reported missing that day.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I don't know how long she was missing when the
- 10:13Speaker 1: boyfriend reported Drew Nelson, do we know that yet? How
- 10:16Speaker 1: long have you been missing? We do? We don't know.
- 10:18Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Okay, So Joe Scott, you know,
- 10:23Speaker 1: first off, the most curious part to me is that, uh,
- 10:27Speaker 1: it would seem at least and I don't. We don't
- 10:29Speaker 1: have this peg down quite as of yet, because the
- 10:32Speaker 1: authorities haven't released a lot of information yet. But it
- 10:35Speaker 1: would seem kind of interesting that that she was reported
- 10:40Speaker 1: missing within twenty four hours of of of not being seen,
- 10:46Speaker 1: well within that that bracketted time period, and by the boyfriend.
- 10:51Speaker 1: And then back to this idea that what's unusual about that, well,
- 10:54Speaker 1: it just seems it seems a bit strange, you know,
- 10:57Speaker 1: that that that she would she would be reported as
- 11:01Speaker 1: missing a grown woman in that shorter period of time.
- 11:04Speaker 1: We don't know anything about the familial or the family
- 11:08Speaker 1: relationship dynamic. Did they actually live together, did they live
- 11:11Speaker 1: apart where they're supposed to have a meeting with one
- 11:13Speaker 1: another and she didn't show up? Had she been threatened?
- 11:16Speaker 1: Was he worried? So all of these questions are still
- 11:19Speaker 1: on the table uh to be answered as yet, and
- 11:23Speaker 1: thus far the authorities have not released much information that
- 11:27Speaker 1: we can kind of plug into to peg a lot
- 11:29Speaker 1: of this stuff down, and most importantly the timeline, because
- 11:33Speaker 1: that's critical in any case like this. Just thinking about
- 11:36Speaker 1: what you're saying, Um, are you trying in some way
- 11:39Speaker 1: to implicate the boyfriend? No? No, not at all, Okay,
- 11:44Speaker 1: because he has not been named a suspect hold on
- 11:46Speaker 1: the boyfriend. The boyfriend has not been named a suspect
- 11:51Speaker 1: or a person of interest. There are a lot of
- 11:54Speaker 1: scenarios to Dr Tiffany Sanders, Chicago psychologists are joining us
- 11:59Speaker 1: here on serious into a lot of scenarios under which
- 12:04Speaker 1: the boyfriend could be completely innocent. I mean, I can
- 12:07Speaker 1: think of one. UM, he goes to work in the morning,
- 12:12Speaker 1: the whole day long, he doesn't hear from her. He
- 12:15Speaker 1: goes out with his friends that night, or goes to
- 12:17Speaker 1: his family's home, He gets home late that night, hits
- 12:21Speaker 1: the site, and the next morning he realizes he hasn't
- 12:24Speaker 1: heard from her. That's one scenario, Dr Tiffany. I'm not
- 12:27Speaker 1: ready to point the finger at anybody yet, but are
- 12:31Speaker 1: there scenarios, many of them, under which the boyfriend could
- 12:35Speaker 1: not be implicated. You know, as I think about it, Nancy,
- 12:39Speaker 1: it seems so logical that the boyfriend would be the
- 12:43Speaker 1: one who's implicated UM in this in this particular crime. UM.
- 12:47Speaker 1: The only situation where you would think not is that,
- 12:49Speaker 1: like the previous guests was saying, if they had a
- 12:53Speaker 1: dinner date, they had an outing to go to UM
- 12:56Speaker 1: a work event and she and she was expected to go. Um,
- 13:00Speaker 1: but you know, my my gut instinct says that's not likely.
- 13:03Speaker 1: What could have happened? Maybe it was to to likely
- 13:07Speaker 1: seeing somebody else he found out, He became upset, jealous,
- 13:11Speaker 1: was enraged. We have to ask those questions and investigating
- 13:15Speaker 1: and talking to her friends and family about the dynamics
- 13:18Speaker 1: of their relationship. Very is very, very important. So at
- 13:21Speaker 1: this juncture, where does the case stand to Drew Nelson,
- 13:25Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter, where does it stand? The investigators
- 13:29Speaker 1: are waiting on the toxicology report and the autopsy. Uh,
- 13:33Speaker 1: there's no evidence to show that there is a crime
- 13:38Speaker 1: here or that there isn't a crime here. There's no
- 13:40Speaker 1: evidence to show that we know of that it was
- 13:44Speaker 1: an accident or a suicide. So as far as we're
- 13:47Speaker 1: waiting on the toxicology and autopsy to tell us if
- 13:51Speaker 1: we'll ever know what happened, a twenty three year old woman,
- 13:56Speaker 1: a brilliant software engineer with Google, has been down dead
- 14:00Speaker 1: naked in the San Francisco Bay waters. Just got morgan. Um.
- 14:05Speaker 1: If I were a betting person, which I'm not, I
- 14:09Speaker 1: would bet this is no suicide. Joe Scott, Yeah, I
- 14:12Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't. I wouldn't think that it would be either, Nancy.
- 14:16Speaker 1: What's what strikes me is very peculiar about this case
- 14:20Speaker 1: is the fact that she is somewhat undressed. I don't
- 14:23Speaker 1: know to what degree. I've heard reports that range from
- 14:27Speaker 1: partially uh new to fully nude, and so again that's unclear,
- 14:33Speaker 1: but we know that there is an absence of clothing.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I like, you have been to San Francisco, and boy
- 14:38Speaker 1: is it a beautiful place. But the one thing I
- 14:40Speaker 1: know about that San Francisco Bay is it is cold.
- 14:45Speaker 1: It is very, very cold. And I know that she
- 14:48Speaker 1: just didn't, you know, stick her toe in the water
- 14:50Speaker 1: and decide, well, I'm going to take off part of
- 14:52Speaker 1: my clothes and just go for a swim. Uh, That's
- 14:55Speaker 1: just not going to happen. Most people that go swimming
- 14:58Speaker 1: out there are the engaging any kind of water sports
- 15:01Speaker 1: uh wind surfing or anything like that, or wearing wet
- 15:04Speaker 1: suits or dry suits out there because the water is
- 15:07Speaker 1: so incredibly cold. So this is a very curious case.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I'm also going to be very interested in seeing the
- 15:14Speaker 1: autopsy report relative to what they find in her lungs.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I want to know if there's any evidence. If she
- 15:21Speaker 1: was alive when she went into that water, we can determine, say,
- 15:25Speaker 1: for instance, maybe if she drowned. Uh, and if there's
- 15:28Speaker 1: any kind of trauma to the body, things like that
- 15:33Speaker 1: that are very minute, like particular images in the eyes
- 15:37Speaker 1: to give an indication that maybe there was some kind
- 15:39Speaker 1: of asphyxiation that went on. So the jury is out
- 15:43Speaker 1: and toxicology is gonna be critical here, Nancy, if we're
- 15:46Speaker 1: talking about a potential suicide, I want to know what
- 15:49Speaker 1: level any drugs were in her system, alcohol, that sort
- 15:52Speaker 1: of thing, anything that would have inhibited her ability to
- 15:56Speaker 1: take care of herself in a way that she she
- 15:59Speaker 1: fell into the water, that she it was an unsurvivable event.
- 16:03Speaker 1: But again that brings us back to this idea, why
- 16:06Speaker 1: was she without clothing? Well, I'll tell you the way
- 16:11Speaker 1: I'm discussing this, just to put it out there, is,
- 16:15Speaker 1: you know, with the backdrop of a very very dear
- 16:18Speaker 1: friend of mine, Bob Sefeld, who died in the San
- 16:24Speaker 1: Francisco Bay waters, completely unexpected of suicide and nobody saw
- 16:32Speaker 1: it coming. And every day since that happened. I guess
- 16:39Speaker 1: that was back in about two thousand and eight, I
- 16:43Speaker 1: beat myself up wondering what I could have done too,
- 16:47Speaker 1: maybe stop that from happening. So many times as suicide,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you don't see it coming. So as I'm discussing the
- 16:55Speaker 1: San Francisco Bay and a potential suicide, it does happen,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and even those closest to you sometimes don't see it coming.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I want to pause and thank our partners making today's
- 17:07Speaker 1: program possible. One of our partners that I just love
- 17:10Speaker 1: is super Beats. When my son first heard I was
- 17:13Speaker 1: involved with super Beats, he went, Mom, those are too costy.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Their four hundred dollars. He thought I was talking about
- 17:20Speaker 1: this really expensive set of earphones. He's all about earphones,
- 17:24Speaker 1: super Beats B E A T S. I'm like, no,
- 17:27Speaker 1: my love, no super Beats b E E T S.
- 17:32Speaker 1: You know, speaking of the twins, wouldn't it be great
- 17:35Speaker 1: to have all the energy you wanted all day long?
- 17:40Speaker 1: So I could, you know, run with them all day.
- 17:42Speaker 1: But fatigue gets in the way even for everyday activities.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I mean, if you're up at five thirty every morning
- 17:48Speaker 1: like I am, by about four o'clock, you're dragging. It
- 17:51Speaker 1: seems to get worse every year. And this is why
- 17:53Speaker 1: when you're twenty your body has a natural ability to
- 17:56Speaker 1: maintain healthy circulation by age forty. Now don't blow it.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell, but the twins think I'm eleven and
- 18:03Speaker 1: a half. Don't mess it up. By the time your forty,
- 18:08Speaker 1: that ability has decreased by half and it leaves you
- 18:11Speaker 1: feeling tired. What can you do to get that circulation
- 18:15Speaker 1: back and fight fatigue? Drink super Beats Listen. Super Beats

- 19:23Speaker 1: Crime Stories Your Owner. On August eighteen, two thousand seven,
- 19:26Speaker 1: team the defendant lurned Savanna Lafontaine gray Wind, who was
- 19:30Speaker 1: eight months pregnant, up to her apartment as a part
- 19:33Speaker 1: of a conspiracy to murder Savanna and steal her onborn baby.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Savanna's body was found in the Red River on August seven,
- 19:41Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. The baby was not with her. Odo
- 19:44Speaker 1: woman ends up where you would never expect in court
- 19:51Speaker 1: on claims she kidnaps and murders her pregnant neighbor before
- 19:57Speaker 1: slicing the neighbor open to steal her baby and pass
- 20:03Speaker 1: it off on her as her own. Now I'll tell
- 20:07Speaker 1: you Joe Scott, Drew, Tiffany Jackie Allen. One of the
- 20:11Speaker 1: first times this came to the forefront of the public
- 20:14Speaker 1: consciousness was during the Scott Peterson case. That was one
- 20:18Speaker 1: of the crazy, outlandish theories that Mark Garrigos God Rest
- 20:22Speaker 1: his Soul came up with to explain how somebody, not
- 20:26Speaker 1: really sure who other than Scott Peterson murdered Lacy. That
- 20:30Speaker 1: they must have kidnapped her to cut baby Connor out
- 20:33Speaker 1: of her tummy. I I didn't bite them because it's
- 20:35Speaker 1: such a heinous thought. Since that time, let's give the
- 20:39Speaker 1: devil his due, more and more cases have emerged. So
- 20:43Speaker 1: Garages actually had a viable theory. Of course it wasn't true,
- 20:48Speaker 1: but still he had a viable theory. Um. I want
- 20:52Speaker 1: to go out to Drew Nelson, Crime Stories investigative reporter.
- 20:55Speaker 1: What can you tell me about Brooke Cruise and the
- 20:59Speaker 1: Grinsley murder of her friend Savannah gray Win. Let's start
- 21:04Speaker 1: with the discovery of gray Winds body. Savannah gray Winds
- 21:08Speaker 1: body was found in the Red River. That was on
- 21:12Speaker 1: the August. Some kayakers were in the river and they
- 21:18Speaker 1: found this body wrapped in front. Oh my goodness. Well
- 21:21Speaker 1: that certainly rules out any kind of an accident. Go ahead.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And after that, the the investigation led back to her friend.
- 21:29Speaker 1: As you were saying, Uh, this woman, Brooke Cruise, that
- 21:33Speaker 1: was the last person that she was that Savannah was
- 21:35Speaker 1: seen with Brook Cruise thirty eight years old. Uh, they
- 21:38Speaker 1: were friends and they were the last person who saw
- 21:43Speaker 1: her alive was Brooke Cruise. They were just walking into
- 21:48Speaker 1: her apartment and that's the last we know about Savannah. Well,
- 21:52Speaker 1: that's a perfect place to start an investigation, the last
- 21:56Speaker 1: known whereabouts and who you were with at the time
- 21:58Speaker 1: you disappear. Savannah gray Win was a full eight months
- 22:03Speaker 1: pregnant when she disappeared. Not long after, about eight days later,
- 22:09Speaker 1: two kayakers discover the mother to be's body, as Drew
- 22:13Speaker 1: Nelson tells us, wrapped in plastic in a river, missing
- 22:21Speaker 1: her baby. The baby was no longer in her body,
- 22:25Speaker 1: and she had not given birth through a normal vaginal delivery.
- 22:30Speaker 1: So Joe Scott, right there, where do cops go? Well,
- 22:35Speaker 1: the first thing they're gonna they're gonna look at is
- 22:37Speaker 1: all of the physical evidence that remains, that remains in
- 22:41Speaker 1: a particular case like this, UH starting point is going
- 22:44Speaker 1: to be the body, the evidence that's that's left behind
- 22:48Speaker 1: as a result of of the trauma that this woman
- 22:51Speaker 1: would have had to have endured. Not just as you
- 22:54Speaker 1: pointed out, the body is absent, the baby, Savannah's Savannah's
- 23:00Speaker 1: UH is absent. This baby, the baby has obviously been
- 23:04Speaker 1: and this is very grisly. Nancy has obviously been removed
- 23:08Speaker 1: um in some kind of uh attempt to surgically extract
- 23:14Speaker 1: the baby, which apparently they did. And then after this,
- 23:18Speaker 1: after this, the body is wrapped in plastic, tied off
- 23:21Speaker 1: with duct tape, and placed into the river. And you know,
- 23:25Speaker 1: lots of times people do this for for two points,
- 23:28Speaker 1: for two reasons, First in a moving body of water
- 23:31Speaker 1: to get the body as far away from the initial
- 23:33Speaker 1: point of where this occurred. And secondly, they submerge bodies
- 23:37Speaker 1: in water to try to get rid of evidence. So
- 23:40Speaker 1: we have to be very careful in cases like this.
- 23:42Speaker 1: The plastic, the duct tape is going to be essential
- 23:45Speaker 1: when they go back to try to marry this up
- 23:48Speaker 1: or match it up with anything else they might find
- 23:51Speaker 1: at the scene. Another important piece of physical information that's
- 23:55Speaker 1: going to come from her body is what method, uh
- 23:59Speaker 1: did they use to to essentially remove this baby? Uh.
- 24:04Speaker 1: And And it's it's really interesting, Nancy. They're they're gonna
- 24:07Speaker 1: they're going to actually when the body is brought into
- 24:11Speaker 1: the morgue, they're gonna want to take a look at
- 24:12Speaker 1: the body and say what level of skill, what level
- 24:16Speaker 1: of skill did the individual possess that removed this baby?
- 24:22Speaker 1: From this mother. I was saying that the baby was gone.
- 24:26Speaker 1: The mom's body found wrapped in plastic weighted down at
- 24:30Speaker 1: a river. My two kayakers, And you don't have to
- 24:36Speaker 1: worry or try to determine at autopsy was it a
- 24:40Speaker 1: normal vaginal delivery because her stomach had been sliced open.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Dr Tiffany Sanders, Chicago Psychologists. I need a shrink in
- 24:52Speaker 1: a big way right now. Who could do such a
- 24:56Speaker 1: heinous thing? Well, yeah, Nancy, when I read the story details,
- 25:02Speaker 1: I was appalled, and it's just absolutely disgusted at the
- 25:07Speaker 1: fact that this woman would lure this twenty two year old,
- 25:10Speaker 1: beautiful young mom to be and the desperation that that
- 25:15Speaker 1: woman must have had. She must have been so desperate
- 25:18Speaker 1: and not be uh and not able to see that
- 25:21Speaker 1: this was heinous to rip a young baby from the
- 25:24Speaker 1: mother's womb before it was even time for that baby
- 25:27Speaker 1: to be born or delivered. It's just appalling. But Nancy,
- 25:32Speaker 1: I have to point out that the fertility world is
- 25:35Speaker 1: a very much pressured field world. So here she is
- 25:39Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, this um the perpetrator, and she's
- 25:43Speaker 1: probably um looking at her her body as the ages
- 25:46Speaker 1: and her inability to conceive on her own, and and
- 25:50Speaker 1: searching and trigger trying to find ways to concede. And
- 25:53Speaker 1: she looks and say, hey, there's this young lady. I
- 25:56Speaker 1: can just take her baby. Why not just adopt? Why
- 25:59Speaker 1: not put yourself up in a position where you you
- 26:01Speaker 1: seek out for tility treatment. Why steal someone else's baby?
- 26:04Speaker 1: And and it's appalling and you just can't wrap your
- 26:06Speaker 1: mind around it. Take a listen to what police say
- 26:10Speaker 1: after kayakers make this horrific discovery. Good evening, everybody. I'm
- 26:17Speaker 1: Chief Dave Todd with the Fargo Police Department, and this
- 26:19Speaker 1: is Sheriff Bilbert Whist with the Clay County Sheriff's Department.
- 26:23Speaker 1: At about five forty four this evening, kayakers in the
- 26:28Speaker 1: river discovered what appeared to be a life or a
- 26:32Speaker 1: body sized object wrapped in plastic in the river, hung
- 26:38Speaker 1: up on a log. The kayakers notified law enforcement um
- 26:44Speaker 1: and also coincidantly, at the same time, a search party
- 26:48Speaker 1: was searching a farmstead right down this road by the bridge.
- 26:52Speaker 1: There are some suspicious uh items in that farmstead that
- 26:57Speaker 1: lead us to believe that that may be a crime scene.
- 27:01Speaker 1: The body was pulled out of the river by law
- 27:03Speaker 1: enforcement at about eight this evening, and at about nine
- 27:10Speaker 1: that body was identified as Savanna Savannah gray wind Um.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Savannah gray wind will be brought, I believe, to the
- 27:21Speaker 1: Ramsey Ramsey County um Examiner, and the family has been notified.
- 27:29Speaker 1: You know, just when you think you've seen it all,
- 27:32Speaker 1: josephs Got Morgan forensics expert. You and I have handled
- 27:35Speaker 1: so many homicides. I can't even count them. It's hard
- 27:39Speaker 1: for people that are not in the crime world. God
- 27:41Speaker 1: bless him. You know, if I did not feel a
- 27:45Speaker 1: duty to fight crime, I would love to do something else,
- 27:51Speaker 1: like my original dream of being a Shakespearean professor. But
- 27:55Speaker 1: Joe's got Morgan. When you're in this world, you see
- 27:59Speaker 1: one horrific crime after the next, after the next, and
- 28:04Speaker 1: every time I think, I don't I've never seen anything
- 28:07Speaker 1: like it in my life. But I gotta tell you,
- 28:08Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Morgan. Finding a young mom's body dead wrapped
- 28:14Speaker 1: in plastic, and then you unwrapped that plastic and find
- 28:17Speaker 1: her sliced from her chest to her pubic area. That's
- 28:24Speaker 1: how you find the body. I mean, that's one of
- 28:27Speaker 1: the worst things I've ever heard. I've got to say
- 28:29Speaker 1: Joe Scott. Yeah, it rinks right up there for me
- 28:33Speaker 1: as well, Nancy. Uh And let's just go back for
- 28:36Speaker 1: a second and think about what this young mother to
- 28:40Speaker 1: be would have endured because to the best of my knowledge, um,
- 28:45Speaker 1: there's no anesthesia applied here. Uh as Dr Tiffany had
- 28:49Speaker 1: pointed out. Uh, this, this young young mother to be
- 28:54Speaker 1: was was not ready to give birth yet she's only
- 28:58Speaker 1: eight months along at this point. Uh So. And the
- 29:02Speaker 1: thing about it is they have to keep her alive
- 29:05Speaker 1: long enough so that the child remains viable. And that
- 29:08Speaker 1: begs the question. I think this is gonna come in
- 29:10Speaker 1: with court, and I know that you, being the prosecutor
- 29:13Speaker 1: that you are, you would really make a point of this.
- 29:17Speaker 1: This woman suffered as they took some type of edged
- 29:22Speaker 1: weapon and sliced her body open and then sliced her
- 29:27Speaker 1: womb open to get access to this body, and all
- 29:30Speaker 1: the while she's there in terror. She's not just fearing
- 29:33Speaker 1: for her life and the pain that she's having to
- 29:35Speaker 1: go through, but also what is going to happen to
- 29:39Speaker 1: this precious life that is inside of my body? Now?
- 29:43Speaker 1: I want to go to brook Cruise mid thirties, who
- 29:48Speaker 1: ends up in court. This is Savannah's friend, her next
- 29:53Speaker 1: door neighbor. I mean, Ah ends up in court pleading
- 30:00Speaker 1: guilty now, so that means there's no question that she
- 30:03Speaker 1: did this. She is saying under oath, she is guilty
- 30:07Speaker 1: of this grizzly murder of twenty two year old Savannah
- 30:10Speaker 1: gray Wind. Interesting her boyfriend is pleading not guilty. I
- 30:15Speaker 1: think I smell States testimony in the works. But listen
- 30:20Speaker 1: to what happened in court your own. On August eighteen,
- 30:23Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, team and defendant learned Savannah La
- 30:26Speaker 1: Fontaine gray Wind, who was eight months pregnant, up to
- 30:30Speaker 1: her apartment as a part of a conspiracy to murder
- 30:33Speaker 1: Savanna and steal her onborn baby. Savannah's body was found
- 30:37Speaker 1: in the Red River on August seven, two thousand seventeen.
- 30:40Speaker 1: The baby was not with her. The count one conspiracy
- 30:43Speaker 1: to commit murder. How do you play? And if the
- 30:47Speaker 1: court sentences you to a sentence greater than you anticipated,
- 30:51Speaker 1: you will not be allowed to withdraw your plead. Do
- 30:53Speaker 1: you understand that? I understand? Rather, now take a listen
- 30:57Speaker 1: to this defendant, Brooke Crew, who is facing life in
- 31:01Speaker 1: prison after pleading guilty. Listen to what her sister says,
- 31:06Speaker 1: w d A Y six or foter Amy and tells
- 31:08Speaker 1: us about brook Crews past and how family learned about
- 31:11Speaker 1: the charges against their loved one Amy. We spoke with
- 31:15Speaker 1: Don Dyer, one of brook Crews older sisters who lives
- 31:18Speaker 1: in North Carolina now. She said after reading about this
- 31:21Speaker 1: crime online, she noticed a big change and who she
- 31:24Speaker 1: remembers as her sibling. You just don't look the same
- 31:29Speaker 1: she looks like. But even with her change in appearance,
- 31:34Speaker 1: Dyer says she never thought her sister would be capable
- 31:37Speaker 1: of such a vicious act. She described Cruise in her
- 31:40Speaker 1: younger years as free and caring, even though she was
- 31:43Speaker 1: abused and had a criminal father. Dire says through the
- 31:47Speaker 1: years they grew aparts, but she wishes she would have
- 31:49Speaker 1: been able to notice her sister's need for mental health
- 31:52Speaker 1: help to possibly keep this from happening. Really really are
- 31:58Speaker 1: sorry for their love and I don't wish her upon
- 32:04Speaker 1: anyone and maybe mind history. You know, it was like
- 32:12Speaker 1: metally gone and I are also said she knew Cruis
- 32:16Speaker 1: had three or four children, but just learned this week
- 32:19Speaker 1: she has seven kids. So to Dr Tiffany sand Or,
- 32:23Speaker 1: Chicago psychologists, how do you live without the rest of
- 32:25Speaker 1: your life behind bars? I mean, I guess if you're
- 32:28Speaker 1: vicious enough to do the crime, it really doesn't bother
- 32:31Speaker 1: that well, it should bother her because she's gonna have
- 32:33Speaker 1: plenty of time to think about. You know, what she
- 32:36Speaker 1: did and how she uh pretty much ruined her life,
- 32:39Speaker 1: her boyfriend's life, and the lives of this beautiful young
- 32:42Speaker 1: child who was just born and snatched away from her
- 32:46Speaker 1: mother and Nancy. You want to think about what was
- 32:49Speaker 1: the psyche behind it? Was she that blinded by her
- 32:53Speaker 1: own sense of greed and selfishness that she would cause
- 32:56Speaker 1: that amount of immense pain. She had to literally block
- 32:59Speaker 1: out the screens, the tears, the agony that that young
- 33:04Speaker 1: girl was going in. It's truly unimaginable. So I hope
- 33:09Speaker 1: she has many many years behind bars to suffer from
- 33:13Speaker 1: her own PTSD reminded from that imagery over and over
- 33:17Speaker 1: and over again, because that was just unnecessary. As we
- 33:20Speaker 1: await the sentencing um, this perpetrator who has played guilty
- 33:24Speaker 1: under oath, Brooke Crews, mid thirties, who has admitted that
- 33:29Speaker 1: she murdered her neighbor her friend, slicing her body open
- 33:34Speaker 1: to steal her baby. The baby is alive, by the way,
- 33:37Speaker 1: the baby was found in her apartment that she shares
- 33:41Speaker 1: with her living boyfriend, so not a whole lot of
- 33:44Speaker 1: questioning there. I think at first they tried to say
- 33:46Speaker 1: that she had dropped the baby off to babysitting the
- 33:49Speaker 1: baby or Sun Sun a story like that. Well that's ridiculous.
- 33:53Speaker 1: But I'm just keeping my eye on the live in boyfriend,
- 33:58Speaker 1: William Hone, aged thirty two, who has pled not guilty. Okay,
- 34:04Speaker 1: his trial is coming up, and I've got a pretty
- 34:06Speaker 1: good idea who's going to be a state's witness against him,

- 36:03Speaker 1: time for dennist Thanks for being our partner today. When
- 36:06Speaker 1: e Dondre dennist Alan, you've got a question? Yes, Nancy.
- 36:11Speaker 1: As I listened to this discussion, it makes me ask
- 36:15Speaker 1: how can a baby survive being cut out of its
- 36:18Speaker 1: mother's womb by a criminal who is not medically trained? Cesarean?
- 36:23Speaker 1: Births in a hospital are not simple by a doctor.
- 36:27Speaker 1: And if the mother's already dead, could the baby still
- 36:30Speaker 1: be alive? Does the cutting half have to happen while
- 36:33Speaker 1: the mother is alive. That's a horrible thing to imagine.
- 36:37Speaker 1: So I've called our expert, Dr William Moroney to find out.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Dr Moroney, we have a case where a woman has
- 36:45Speaker 1: admitted to cutting a baby out of an eight month
- 36:48Speaker 1: pregnant woman and the baby survived and the baby is
- 36:52Speaker 1: doing fine right now, how does this happen? Childbirth? Cesarean
- 36:57Speaker 1: is not a simple thing. Was this pure luck? Or
- 37:01Speaker 1: is this something that actually happens in a baby can survive? Well,
- 37:05Speaker 1: the baby can survive, but you always have to ask
- 37:09Speaker 1: about the mother's health. Babies are extremely resilient, and delivering
- 37:15Speaker 1: the birth of a baby through cesarean process really puts
- 37:20Speaker 1: about of the trauma and the laceration and the blood
- 37:26Speaker 1: pressure risk and the infection all on the mother. In
- 37:31Speaker 1: order to do this in a hospital, a woman needs
- 37:34Speaker 1: anesthesia and professionals. To do it outside of the hospital,
- 37:41Speaker 1: she would have to have been drugged or beaten and
- 37:47Speaker 1: tied down or subdued or killed. And then you need
- 37:53Speaker 1: five or six minutes to go through three muscle layers
- 37:59Speaker 1: the body, heavity and two uh carefully enter the side
- 38:06Speaker 1: of the uterus. Based on the size of the baby.
- 38:10Speaker 1: It's really clear where you need to cut, but you
- 38:13Speaker 1: have five or six minutes to get that baby out
- 38:15Speaker 1: before the baby becomes an oxy. The mother takes all
- 38:18Speaker 1: the trauma well. In this case, the mother was found
- 38:21Speaker 1: dead later by kayakers in a river, wrapped up in
- 38:25Speaker 1: plastic and taped up, so we kind of know the
- 38:29Speaker 1: route that this woman took. She would have wanted to
- 38:32Speaker 1: keep the woman alive while she cut the baby out.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Is that right? If you directly contribute to the death
- 38:39Speaker 1: of the mother, you have five minutes plus or minus
- 38:44Speaker 1: to get that baby out before it gets an oxic.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Without oxygen, that baby will die and have brain death.
- 38:52Speaker 1: So what possibly would have happened was the mother was
- 38:55Speaker 1: bound up t I do you think subdued, knocked out
- 39:00Speaker 1: or whatever before this happened, and then apparently without drugs
- 39:04Speaker 1: or any kind of medical instrument, the child was just
- 39:07Speaker 1: cut out, as you say, through three layers of muscle,
- 39:10Speaker 1: three layers of muscle of body cavity, and then cut
- 39:13Speaker 1: open the uterus. Cutting open uterus would be very similar
- 39:17Speaker 1: to cutting open a punkin or a large watermelon. I
- 39:21Speaker 1: don't know if you google this and find out how
- 39:23Speaker 1: you're going to do it, But if you've got a
- 39:24Speaker 1: plan to steal your neighbor's baby in that brutal fashion,
- 39:28Speaker 1: I guess you either have to know what you're doing
- 39:30Speaker 1: or get kind of lucky. I suppose because it's not
- 39:33Speaker 1: I wouldn't think it would be an obvious thing to
- 39:36Speaker 1: know how to do. No, it wouldn't. And that's where
- 39:39Speaker 1: you put the life of the baby at risk after
- 39:43Speaker 1: you get it out by not having proper postpartum care.
- 39:48Speaker 1: But how you'd actually do it would be in a
- 39:50Speaker 1: textbook online or in a library for midwife's or o
- 39:55Speaker 1: b G y N doctors. And the bottom line on
- 39:58Speaker 1: this is she really didn't care about the mother. That
- 40:03Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense because when you go in
- 40:07Speaker 1: the hospital, it's the care of the mother that's the
- 40:10Speaker 1: primary concern, and postpartum care of the mother and the
- 40:15Speaker 1: baby are what professionals are trained for. Once you consider
- 40:20Speaker 1: the mother to be a crime victim and disposable, this
- 40:23Speaker 1: is it's very dark, but it can be done, and
- 40:28Speaker 1: it is done. I mean, this case we're talking about
- 40:31Speaker 1: right now is not the only time it's been done.
- 40:33Speaker 1: And it's not just something we see in the movies. No.
- 40:37Speaker 1: In the last decade that we've been on true crime
- 40:39Speaker 1: stories in the network, we've seen this handful of times.
- 40:43Speaker 1: This happens often, but of course, how do you explain
- 40:47Speaker 1: the baby. And in this case, the woman and her
- 40:50Speaker 1: boyfriend had been arrested, the body was found, the baby
- 40:54Speaker 1: recovered alive, and now it's safe with the father. But
- 41:00Speaker 1: if one thing had gone wrong, this baby would not
- 41:03Speaker 1: be with us. It's very clear that there's some twisted
- 41:08Speaker 1: pathology behind the person doing this. This is severe mental
- 41:13Speaker 1: illness and it causes literally the murder of another person.
- 41:19Speaker 1: But there's there's no way to explain this, and we
- 41:22Speaker 1: just hope she gets her her justice in the system.
- 41:27Speaker 1: But the knowledge to do this is in textbooks and
- 41:31Speaker 1: on the internet, and it means total disregard for the
- 41:35Speaker 1: life of another person. And now let's listen to a
- 41:39Speaker 1: news conference from back in August. August that was six
- 41:42Speaker 1: days after Savannah disappeared, before she was found dead far Go,
- 41:46Speaker 1: North Dakota Police Chief David Todd tells reporters about making
- 41:51Speaker 1: to arrest in regard to this Anna Marie gray Wind
- 41:55Speaker 1: missing person's case. As I stated before, we've dedicated a
- 41:59Speaker 1: lot of attention to this case, but until Wednesday, we
- 42:03Speaker 1: had not yet established a criminal nexus to this case
- 42:07Speaker 1: that would allow us to obtain warrants for our residence
- 42:11Speaker 1: and electronic devices. We were running constant surveillance and investigating
- 42:17Speaker 1: several different theories regarding Savannah being held against her will
- 42:22Speaker 1: and or her unborn child being induced or removed and
- 42:26Speaker 1: possibly alive. Therefore, we were careful about what we were
- 42:31Speaker 1: saying or releasing in fear that a suspect or suspects
- 42:36Speaker 1: may panic and dispose of them in order to get
- 42:40Speaker 1: rid of incriminating evidence. We were hoping the surveillance would
- 42:44Speaker 1: produce a result of the possible suspects leading us to
- 42:48Speaker 1: where Savannah or her baby were. We were able to
- 42:53Speaker 1: develop a criminal nexus on Wednesday, allowing us to put
- 42:57Speaker 1: together warrants and a coordinated plan to take William Henry
- 43:02Speaker 1: Hone and Brooke Lynn Cruise into custody yesterday at two
- 43:07Speaker 1: separate locations and secure apartment number five at ninth Street
- 43:14Speaker 1: North for forensic search pursuant to the search warrant we
- 43:18Speaker 1: had obtained. The search was conducted by a specialized forensics team.
- 43:26Speaker 1: As I said yesterday in my release, our entry and
- 43:29Speaker 1: search found a newborn baby girl in apartment number five
- 43:36Speaker 1: ninth Street North with Brooke Lynn Cruise. The baby girl
- 43:42Speaker 1: was transported by ambulance to a medical facility where she
- 43:47Speaker 1: is currently being cared for. Detective interviews with Holmes and
- 43:53Speaker 1: Cruise indicate the baby girl is Savannah's baby. We are
- 44:00Speaker 1: going DNA testing to confirm the identity of the baby. However,
- 44:05Speaker 1: testing and results can take several days. In the interviews.
- 44:11Speaker 1: When it comes to the topic of what happened to Savannah,
- 44:16Speaker 1: neither Hone nor Cruise will cooperate with our investigation. Both
- 44:22Speaker 1: Hone and crews invoked their right to counsel and refuse
- 44:27Speaker 1: to answer any more questions. At that point, we arrested
- 44:31Speaker 1: both of them and charged them with Class A felony
- 44:35Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit kidnapping. Thirty eight year old Brooke Lynn
- 44:39Speaker 1: Cruise after that guilty plea to conspiracy to commit murder
- 44:43Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit kidnapping providing false information to police is
- 44:47Speaker 1: set to be sentenced in January. January. If her presentencing
- 44:52Speaker 1: report is completed, she could get a maximum for the
- 44:55Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit murder charge life in prison without parole.
- 44:59Speaker 1: The maximum and penalty for the conspiracy to commit kidnapping
- 45:02Speaker 1: twenty years in prison, a find of twenty dollars and
- 45:05Speaker 1: there is a trial coming up. Unless William Henry Haunt
- 45:09Speaker 1: two pleads guilty, he faces the same charges as his girlfriend.
- 45:13Speaker 1: He has pleaded not guilty so far, a trial is
- 45:17Speaker 1: set in Cass County District Court to begin March. I
