Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Bombshell Tonight TV and movie star Hayden Panettiere neighbor hears
- 0:05Speaker 1: crying and screaming before the star's death. This, as we learned,
- 0:12Speaker 1: her HOA, Home Owners Association, had actually put up posters,
- 0:18Speaker 1: notices to block her boyfriend from getting in the building.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Why?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Why?
- 0:26Speaker 1: We also learned tonight, according to reports, that the boyfriend
- 0:29Speaker 1: actually pawned Hayden's belongings before her death. Good evening. I'm
- 0:37Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I want to thank
- 0:40Speaker 1: you for being with us.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Yeah, Hayden Panettiere is a child actress who went on
- 0:51Speaker 4: to great success. She detailed her substance abuse issues.
- 0:56Speaker 5: Sadly, Hayden was found unresponsive on Sunday in an apartment
- 1:01Speaker 5: in Greenville, South Carolina.
- 1:03Speaker 4: She really told the world who she was beyond the superstar,
- 1:07Speaker 4: the actress, that we all thought we loved.
- 1:10Speaker 6: It was yesterday afternoon, and, um.
- 1:24Speaker 8: Just a bunch of commotion in the hallway. The halls
- 1:26Speaker 8: are pretty hollow, so noise echoes throughout. And I had
- 1:31Speaker 8: just heard about someone collapsing. And then afterwards, there was
- 1:35Speaker 8: talk about cardiac arrest. I can't confirm any of that.
- 1:39Speaker 8: That's just what I've heard. Just lots of commotion.
- 1:43Speaker 1: That from our friends at WYFF Bombshells tonight in the
- 1:48Speaker 1: investigation into the TV and movie star Hayden Panettiere's death.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We're learning more and more, and all of it is very,
- 1:56Speaker 1: very unsettling to say the least. Let me remind everyone,
- 2:00Speaker 1: no one has been charged. No one has been named
- 2:03Speaker 1: a person of interest tonight anyway. We are now learning
- 2:09Speaker 1: more about the alleged use of Narcan. When was it used?
- 2:14Speaker 1: Who used it? How can you tell from looking at
- 2:17Speaker 1: Hayden Panettiere's body? Was it actually administered?
- 2:22Speaker 9: His brother gave us a statement that he texted Brian
- 2:30Speaker 9: and Hayden Panettiere on that Sunday morning, last Sunday, and
- 2:34Speaker 9: didn't get a response, went to this Airbnb where they were,
- 2:38Speaker 9: and then found Brian, who had just woken up, and
- 2:43Speaker 9: Hayden laying in a bed. And Brian then administered Narcan
- 2:50Speaker 9: to her.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Okay, that's our friend Harvey Levin over at TMZ. And
- 2:54Speaker 1: I need to hear that one more time, because listen
- 2:57Speaker 1: to me, I've tried a lot of cases. And every
- 3:01Speaker 1: fact can prove something. I heard something very disturbing. Listen
- 3:06Speaker 1: to Harvey Levin.
- 3:08Speaker 9: His brother gave us a statement that he texted Brian
- 3:16Speaker 9: and Hayden on that Sunday morning, last Sunday, and didn't
- 3:21Speaker 9: get a response, went to this Airbnb where they were,
- 3:24Speaker 9: and then found Brian, who had just woken up, and
- 3:29Speaker 9: Hayden laying in a bed, and Brian then administered Narcan
- 3:36Speaker 9: to her.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Okay, straight out to Rob Shooter joining us, author of
- 3:41Speaker 1: a brand new book, Queen Elizabeth III, The New American
- 3:43Speaker 1: House of Windsor. Shooter, my interest is always piqued, to
- 3:51Speaker 1: put it mildly, when I hear somebody say, I woke
- 3:56Speaker 1: up and she was dead.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. It's these details, Nancy, that are ultimately going
- 4:04Speaker 4: to point us in the right direction here. You're so right.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Just one detail can change everything. I listened to that
- 4:12Speaker 4: statement from Harvey twice too, because there's a lot of
- 4:15Speaker 4: stuff in there and a lot of it doesn't add up. Initially,
- 4:19Speaker 4: we were told that she was found in a chair.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Now we're being told that she was in the bed.
- 4:24Speaker 4: And so I want these people to keep talking about
- 4:28Speaker 4: to keep talking to TMZ, to keep talking to the media,
- 4:32Speaker 4: to keep talking to the press, because they are going
- 4:35Speaker 4: to reveal everything without even knowing they're doing so.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Derek Smith joining me, high profile criminal defense attorney out
- 4:43Speaker 1: of Ohio. Did you hear what Shooter just said? I mean,
- 4:46Speaker 1: he's a PR guru. He's handled them all. Diddy, Brittany,
- 4:52Speaker 1: it goes on and on and on. They can't stop talking.
- 4:56Speaker 1: They can't stop. Talking tonight, no charges, no POI, person
- 5:01Speaker 1: of interest. But Derek, how many interviews are these people
- 5:05Speaker 1: going to give? And they're inconsistent. Did you hear Shooter?
- 5:10Speaker 1: Shooter already pointed out that in one statement, she's dead
- 5:13Speaker 1: in a chair. Another statement, I woke up, she's dead
- 5:16Speaker 1: beside me. I didn't know. What? Keep talking. Just keep
- 5:20Speaker 1: that camera rolling, Derek.
- 5:25Speaker 10: Yeah, Nancy, I tell my clients, unfortunately, sometimes after the
- 5:28Speaker 10: fact that self snitching doesn't doesn't really help them. I
- 5:32Speaker 10: understand that, you know, they want to get they want
- 5:34Speaker 10: to get their story out there, too. They don't want
- 5:35Speaker 10: to be villainized. They don't want to look like, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 10: anything is because of them. However, just like your previous
- 5:41Speaker 10: guest just said, you get them talking, they're going to
- 5:43Speaker 10: be inconsistent, especially if the truth is something they're trying
- 5:46Speaker 10: to evade. So I generally tell my clients, you know what,
- 5:49Speaker 10: let's let's let's come into the office. Talk with me
- 5:51Speaker 10: first before you talk to any media agent. any law enforcement,
- 5:54Speaker 10: anything like that, because you could maybe inadvertently say things that.
- 5:57Speaker 11: Could wind you up into the jail cell, Nancy, as
- 6:01Speaker 11: you well know.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Dave Mack joining me, Crime Stories investigative reporter. Dave, there
- 6:06Speaker 1: are several inconsistencies, right? What's the story on the Narcan? Who, what, where, why, when?
- 6:15Speaker 12: What we're actually being told is what Zach Hickerson, the
- 6:19Speaker 12: brother of Brian Hickerson, Hayden's on and off again boyfriend,
- 6:24Speaker 12: that the Narcan was found on the bed and that
- 6:30Speaker 12: according to Zach, His brother, Brian, had used the Narcan
- 6:36Speaker 12: on Hayden. Now, Narcan, this is an inhaler that's inhaled
- 6:41Speaker 12: through the nostrils, Nancy. And according to Brian Hickerson's brother,
- 6:45Speaker 12: Zach said that it was Brian who was administering the
- 6:48Speaker 12: Narcan to Hayden.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Wait, when you say boyfriend, are you talking about this boyfriend?
- 6:57Speaker 3: I saw her leaving on a gurney. And Brian was
- 7:01Speaker 3: right next to her and I asked her if she
- 7:03Speaker 3: was okay. And it looked to me that she, you know,
- 7:08Speaker 3: had suffered some type of trauma that, you know, looked
- 7:12Speaker 3: to be battering. And it was clear she was terrified.
- 7:18Speaker 7: My biggest thing about domestic violence is I don't think
- 7:23Speaker 7: it is taught early enough in life. Never in my
- 7:28Speaker 7: life did I ever get taught what domestic violence was, right?
- 7:34Speaker 7: Maybe if I did at an early age, maybe I
- 7:38Speaker 7: wouldn't have done what I did. I mean, I went
- 7:40Speaker 7: into such a dark place, man. Drugs, alcohol. is good
- 7:48Speaker 7: god almighty she's five foot two on paper four foot
- 7:53Speaker 7: eleven in real life i mean come on terrible thing i.
- 8:00Speaker 13: Did to her but um yeah you know she's um
- 8:05Speaker 13: yeah love of life love of life so uh yeah
- 8:10Speaker 13: you never know what happens.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Is he high That from our friends at Inside Edition
- 8:19Speaker 1: and TMZ. Okay, please throw some water on me. Wait,
- 8:24Speaker 1: wait me up, Jackie, because I think I passed out.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I think I blacked out right there. Let me hear
- 8:29Speaker 1: that first part one more time.
- 8:31Speaker 7: My biggest thing about domestic violence is I don't think
- 8:36Speaker 7: it is taught early enough in life. Never in my
- 8:41Speaker 7: life did I ever get taught what domestic violence was, right?
- 8:47Speaker 7: Maybe if I did at an early age, maybe I
- 8:51Speaker 7: wouldn't have done what I did.
- 8:57Speaker 1: That's from TMZ. I'm almost speechless. Dr. Bethany Marshall, please
- 9:01Speaker 1: help me. Dr. Bethany Marshall, renowned psychoanalyst out of the
- 9:05Speaker 1: LA jurisdiction. She's on Hulu, she's on Bravo, she's on Peacock.
- 9:11Speaker 1: New podcast on the couch with Dr. Bethany Marshall, author
- 9:14Speaker 1: of Deal Breakers.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Dr.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Bethany, did you hear that? If somebody had told me
- 9:19Speaker 1: what domestic violence was, I wouldn't have beat the out
- 9:22Speaker 1: of her. Really, it's when you beat somebody. That's domestic violence. Well,
- 9:28Speaker 1: first of all, you're right. Did you hear that? Yes,
- 9:29Speaker 1: I did. Why is anybody upset? She's dead. The boyfriend,
- 9:34Speaker 1: that boyfriend wakes up in the bed and goes, oh,
- 9:37Speaker 1: she's dead. How can that happen? And it's the same
- 9:42Speaker 1: boyfriend that admits he beat her to smithereens. She got
- 9:45Speaker 1: taken out on a gurney.
- 9:47Speaker 14: What he says is if somebody had told me about
- 9:49Speaker 14: domestic violence, he's trying to distance himself from domestic violence
- 9:54Speaker 14: as if he didn't do it. But then later he
- 9:57Speaker 14: goes on to admit.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Why do you even keep saying? that, Bethany? Why do
- 10:02Speaker 1: you keep calling it domestic violence? That's certainly putting perfume
- 10:06Speaker 1: on the pig, right? Well, when people say domestic homicide, domestic,
- 10:11Speaker 1: it sounds like a Hallmark movie. Domestic. I think of
- 10:15Speaker 1: the kitchen table and good smells from supper and a
- 10:18Speaker 1: little family sitting on the table holding hands like on
- 10:21Speaker 1: the Walton saying their prayer before dinner. That's not what
- 10:25Speaker 1: this is. I do like one thing you said, the distancing.
- 10:31Speaker 1: If somebody told me about domestic violence, maybe domestic violence
- 10:36Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened. Domestic violence isn't doing it. He did it.
- 10:40Speaker 3: He did it. He beat her. He hurt her.
- 10:43Speaker 14: He administered opioids to her. But then later on in
- 10:46Speaker 14: that interview where he's clearly high, he does say, well,
- 10:50Speaker 14: maybe I did it. And did you see the look
- 10:51Speaker 14: on the interviewer's face? I mean, she's just giving him
- 10:54Speaker 14: the side eye there, shocked at how high he is.
- 10:57Speaker 3: I was coming down in the elevator and and heard
- 11:00Speaker 3: those two in a screaming match in the garage. And
- 11:03Speaker 3: she just kept saying, please, Brian, please stop. I myself
- 11:07Speaker 3: called the sheriff's office a number of times.
- 11:10Speaker 1: From our friends at Extra. Now, I want to be
- 11:14Speaker 1: very clear. No one's been charged. No one has named
- 11:18Speaker 1: a person of interest to special guest joining us tonight,
- 11:20Speaker 1: Eileen Reslin. She's the senior showbiz exclusives investigative reporter for
- 11:26Speaker 1: Daily Mail, one of the largest news websites in the world. Eileen,
- 11:31Speaker 1: on the story from the very beginning, Eileen, thank you
- 11:33Speaker 1: for being with us. A beating is not the COD
- 11:38Speaker 1: that we know of, cause of death. What do we
- 11:41Speaker 1: know about Hayden Panettiere, who's leaving behind a daughter without
- 11:46Speaker 1: a mother? What do we know about the circumstances surrounding
- 11:50Speaker 1: her death, Eileen?
- 11:51Speaker 5: Well, I'm really glad you actually mentioned her daughter because
- 11:54Speaker 5: that is actually part of the reason that Brian became
- 11:57Speaker 5: involved in her life.
- 11:57Speaker 15: He found her in a very vulnerable state.
- 12:00Speaker 5: And now what we know about her death is, well,
- 12:02Speaker 5: there's been obviously an apparent overdose is what has been reported.
- 12:09Speaker 5: And there was Narcan distributed. What's very interesting, I want
- 12:12Speaker 5: to highlight a report that my colleague Dana Kennedy did
- 12:16Speaker 5: for the Daily Mail exclusively. She spoke to Leslie Vogel,
- 12:20Speaker 5: Hayden Panettiere's mother, who has had conversations with the police,
- 12:24Speaker 5: who have informed her about what Brian has also told
- 12:27Speaker 5: the police about what happened before Zach got there to
- 12:30Speaker 5: the apartment.
- 12:31Speaker 15: Now, this is very interesting, Nancy.
- 12:34Speaker 5: He claims Brian reportedly told police that at 10.30 that
- 12:38Speaker 5: Sunday before Hayden died, that she was doing her makeup.
- 12:43Speaker 5: And it was seemingly like any other day they were
- 12:45Speaker 5: supposed to meet up with Zach. Then Zach is unable
- 12:50Speaker 5: to make contact with them. And Brian steps out to
- 12:53Speaker 5: go and get something. Now what that something is, is unclear.
- 12:57Speaker 15: We don't know. And it hasn't been disclosed by the police.
- 13:01Speaker 5: And then Brian returns to the apartment and he somehow,
- 13:05Speaker 5: we don't even know if he interacted with Hayden or not.
- 13:07Speaker 15: Presumably he did. It was close quarters.
- 13:10Speaker 5: And then they both somehow fall asleep for a nap.
- 13:13Speaker 5: So there's really big gaps in that story because when
- 13:15Speaker 5: he comes back from.
- 13:16Speaker 15: That errand run, what happened there? Did they have a conversation?
- 13:20Speaker 5: Did they do some drugs together? That information we don't
- 13:24Speaker 5: know yet.
- 13:26Speaker 1: To Dr. William Maroney, he is a renowned medical examiner,
- 13:32Speaker 1: a toxicologist, a pathologist, a He is an opioid treatment expert.
- 13:38Speaker 1: He is the author of American Narcan. And not only that, Maroney,
- 13:45Speaker 1: while being a medical examiner, the chief medical examiner, puts
- 13:50Speaker 1: his money where his mouth is and created a mobile
- 13:54Speaker 1: opioid treatment facility.
- 13:57Speaker 13: Dr.
- 13:58Speaker 1: William Maroney, you have theories on the case tonight. It's
- 14:02Speaker 1: not a case. It is the death of a beautiful
- 14:05Speaker 1: young movie and TV star leaving behind a daughter without
- 14:10Speaker 1: a mother. What is your analysis so far?
- 14:16Speaker 16: It's quite clear it follows the time path of heroin, fentanyl,
- 14:21Speaker 16: or opiate use. You're up early, you're getting ready, and
- 14:25Speaker 16: then you take a nap?
- 14:27Speaker 3: No.
- 14:27Speaker 16: That's falling out. They probably used together and she might
- 14:34Speaker 16: have got more than him and he woke up and
- 14:36Speaker 16: she didn't. That happens all the time. It sounds like
- 14:41Speaker 16: an opiate use. Somebody with substance use disorder and a
- 14:47Speaker 16: partner follow this timeline. He's bigger. Whatever they snort, whatever
- 14:52Speaker 16: they smoke, whatever they inject. They said there was no
- 14:56Speaker 16: trauma after the autopsy, but the timeline fits opiate use.
- 15:03Speaker 16: And then why else do you have this? Why do
- 15:06Speaker 16: you have this if that's not an opiate use? Narcan
- 15:10Speaker 16: is only going to work when you're around opiates. If
- 15:13Speaker 16: you're using opiates, this is what saves your life if
- 15:16Speaker 16: something goes wrong.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Well, why didn't it work?
- 15:22Speaker 16: Well, there are reasons why. Polypharmacy is the number one
- 15:26Speaker 16: reason why it won't work because the Valium, the Xanax,
- 15:31Speaker 16: the cocaine, the methamphetamine, barbiturates, ketamine, alcohol, they prevent it
- 15:36Speaker 16: because they're much stronger and it's not going to reverse them.
- 15:41Speaker 16: The second most important reason why it won't work is
- 15:45Speaker 16: it's given too late. circulation stops, the heart stops, breathing stops.
- 15:52Speaker 16: It's not going to go anywhere. You blow this up
- 15:54Speaker 16: your nose, it's not going to get.
- 15:55Speaker 1: In your brain. Are you saying the Narcan was administered
- 15:59Speaker 1: after circulation and respiration has stopped? What do you mean
- 16:03Speaker 1: by that?
- 16:05Speaker 16: What I mean is you need to have it go
- 16:08Speaker 16: in your nose, get in your blood, and then go
- 16:10Speaker 16: to your brain. If you don't get it in time...
- 16:15Speaker 16: It's not going to work because it has to transfer
- 16:19Speaker 16: to your brain. And there was no circulation. That's why
- 16:23Speaker 16: it wouldn't work. There was no cat up the nose.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Put him up. Why are you saying there's no circulation?
- 16:31Speaker 1: Do you mean she was dead?
- 16:33Speaker 16: Yes.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Speak English, man.
- 16:34Speaker 16: Exactly. Exactly what I mean. She was dead. And this
- 16:38Speaker 16: whole thing was a drama.
- 16:40Speaker 11: That's what I think.
- 16:43Speaker 1: What do you mean by she was dead and this
- 16:46Speaker 1: whole thing was a drama?
- 16:49Speaker 4: I don't.
- 16:51Speaker 16: You use opiates and you fall out, you get sleep,
- 16:55Speaker 16: you wake up and somebody else is dead, but you're
- 16:58Speaker 16: alive and you have to do something. And the procedure,
- 17:03Speaker 16: the timeline doesn't fit that she was savable. She was
- 17:09Speaker 16: not savable.
- 17:11Speaker 1: How is Narcan supposed to work? It did not work.
- 17:14Speaker 1: It did not save Hayden Pantier's life. How is it
- 17:17Speaker 1: supposed to work? You firmly believe it was administered after
- 17:21Speaker 1: she's dead.
- 17:21Speaker 16: Well, that's... Yes.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I might as well administer it to that phone right there.
- 17:25Speaker 16: Yeah, it would be the same thing. Here's what you
- 17:28Speaker 16: have to do. Narcan works all the time, but you
- 17:31Speaker 16: have to get it in your nose and it gets
- 17:34Speaker 16: absorbed into your blood and then it goes to your
- 17:38Speaker 16: brain and it tells the brain.
- 17:43Speaker 16: You stop breathing. Please start breathing. You have to go
- 17:48Speaker 16: in here to start breathing. It puts the heroin off.
- 17:51Speaker 16: It puts the fentanyl off. It puts the oxycontin off.
- 17:56Speaker 16: It pushes it off. That's how it works. And then
- 17:59Speaker 16: the brain sends signals to start breathing again.
- 18:04Speaker 1: So let me understand. You're stating that you believe the
- 18:09Speaker 1: Narcan was administered... After she's dead. Now, okay, hold on.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Rob Shooter joining me, PR guru who is familiar with
- 18:20Speaker 1: Hayden Panettiere, author of a new book, Queen Elizabeth III,
- 18:24Speaker 1: The New American House of Windsor. Shooter, you heard Eileen
- 18:30Speaker 1: Reslin from the Daily Mail describe inconsistencies in the various statements.
- 18:38Speaker 1: We already know that in one story, She was dead
- 18:41Speaker 1: in a chair. And another story, he wakes up. Oops,
- 18:44Speaker 1: she's dead. I have no idea. I'm just sleeping next
- 18:47Speaker 1: to a corpse. I don't know what happened. Can I
- 18:50Speaker 1: tell you that's not that uncommon that I hear that?
- 18:55Speaker 1: There are many inconsistencies. What about the inconsistency regarding the brother,
- 19:02Speaker 1: her doing her makeup at 1030 and The boyfriend leaves.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Did he leave to get Narcan then? Was she already dead?
- 19:12Speaker 1: What more can you tell me, Shooter?
- 19:15Speaker 4: Yeah, these inconsistencies are everything, Nancy. And as long as
- 19:18Speaker 4: they keep talking, we're going to get more. Why would
- 19:21Speaker 4: you go out and get Narcan if you didn't need
- 19:24Speaker 4: it in the moment? Was this preventative? Were they planning
- 19:27Speaker 4: to do drugs that day or three of them or
- 19:30Speaker 4: two of them? And that's why they wanted the Narcan.
- 19:33Speaker 4: There's a ton of questions, but what I do know
- 19:36Speaker 4: is that the cameras have been seized around that apartment complex.
- 19:41Speaker 4: So sources are telling me that the police have taken
- 19:45Speaker 4: all that footage. So they'll be able to see exactly
- 19:48Speaker 4: who left, what time they left, what time they returned.
- 19:51Speaker 4: And if they did go to a pharmacy, if they
- 19:54Speaker 4: did go to a CVS to pick up Narcan, that
- 19:57Speaker 4: will be on the cameras too. And so they can
- 20:00Speaker 4: say whatever they want at the moment. Let them keep
- 20:03Speaker 4: saying it. The evidence is going to tell us what
- 20:07Speaker 4: really happened. And that evidence is going to be cameras.
- 20:11Speaker 4: It's going to be cell phones. It's going to be
- 20:12Speaker 4: electronic communications. I'm told that the police know a lot
- 20:17Speaker 4: more than we do. And they're just not saying at
- 20:20Speaker 4: the moment. That's not that unusual, Nancy. What people say
- 20:23Speaker 4: to the press is often very different than what they
- 20:26Speaker 4: say to the police. The police already have a very
- 20:29Speaker 4: good idea what happened inside that apartment.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Derek Smith, don't you just hate it? You're the veteran
- 20:39Speaker 1: trial lawyer, the criminal defense attorney at dwsmithlegal.com. When your
- 20:46Speaker 1: client gives one story, then gives another story. I mean,
- 20:51Speaker 1: most people remember the last time they saw a dead body.
- 20:56Speaker 1: It doesn't move on its own anyway. But when you
- 21:01Speaker 1: find out there's video surveillance at that drugstore, at that
- 21:06Speaker 1: luxury residence where they were. I mean, there's video.
- 21:12Speaker 10: The first thing I'm doing, Nancy, is going to go
- 21:15Speaker 10: into those pharmacies trying to get that video. Because if
- 21:17Speaker 10: we're in a situation like this, where a client of
- 21:19Speaker 10: mine may be a suspect in a homicide or an
- 21:22Speaker 10: accidental death, and he was actually doing something to prevent that,
- 21:25Speaker 10: like going, like he wakes up and realizes his partner
- 21:28Speaker 10: is struggling to breathe or having some kind of reaction.
- 21:30Speaker 10: He rushes out to go get Narcan, to go get
- 21:33Speaker 10: something to help her. But then, unfortunately, when he gets there,
- 21:35Speaker 10: it's just a little too late and she doesn't survive.
- 21:37Speaker 10: That could be the situation we're looking at now. Yes,
- 21:40Speaker 10: they're trying to establish a motive for this guy. Yeah,
- 21:42Speaker 10: he was a s * * * boyfriend, a s * * * partner.
- 21:44Speaker 11: He hurt her.
- 21:45Speaker 2: He hit her.
- 21:45Speaker 11: He was domestic violence to her. Doesn't mean he's a killer.
- 21:48Speaker 11: Doesn't mean he wants her dead.
- 21:50Speaker 10: Yes, he may want to keep her to himself, be
- 21:53Speaker 10: a possessive type boyfriend.
- 21:55Speaker 11: But he wants her to be alive. He's going to
- 21:57Speaker 11: the drugstore to get some Narcan to save her life.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Okay, all of this is discussion based on inconsistencies we
- 22:04Speaker 1: are learning about. This boyfriend has not been charged. He
- 22:09Speaker 1: is not a suspect. He's not even a person of interest.
- 22:12Speaker 1: But I do find it interesting that the surveillance cameras
- 22:20Speaker 1: have been seized by police.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Why?
- 22:26Speaker 1: Dr. William Maroney said, renowned medical examiner, I can't stress
- 22:29Speaker 1: that enough, toxicologist, very important in this case, pathologist, opioid expert,
- 22:36Speaker 1: author of American Narcan. He's devoted his life to his
- 22:41Speaker 1: family and fighting opioid addiction.
- 22:45Speaker 4: Dr.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Maroney, A, I want you to weigh in. Your knowledge
- 22:48Speaker 1: is far more vast than my questions can encompass, but
- 22:52Speaker 1: I also want to know, In an autopsy, can you
- 22:56Speaker 1: tell if Narcan was administered? Since it's inhaled, can you
- 23:01Speaker 1: even find that out in autopsy?
- 23:05Speaker 16: There's two things you can do. The first thing is
- 23:08Speaker 16: standard toxicology when you test the blood. If there's absolutely
- 23:12Speaker 16: no naloxone, naloxone is the active medicine in this, then
- 23:19Speaker 16: it really wasn't given in time. And the second thing
- 23:23Speaker 16: you can do is swab the nose. You swab it
- 23:28Speaker 16: and then you send it off. These are the first test.
- 23:32Speaker 16: The general toxicology is what everybody does. Every single medical examiner,
- 23:38Speaker 16: every single department will do the toxicology. One of the
- 23:42Speaker 16: reasons why I think they brought in the DEA was
- 23:46Speaker 16: because they're going above and beyond local law enforcement. If
- 23:50Speaker 16: you take a swab, and you go up the nose
- 23:54Speaker 16: like we did in COVID, instead of looking for a virus,
- 24:00Speaker 16: you look for naloxone, then you'll know if it was given.
- 24:07Speaker 1: So I think what you just said is yes.
- 24:11Speaker 7: Dr.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Maroney, did you just mention D-E-A, Drug Enforcement Agency?
- 24:20Speaker 2: What?
- 24:20Speaker 3: Yes.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Yes.
- 24:22Speaker 16: The reason why Greenville Police is reaching out for federal
- 24:27Speaker 16: resources with the DEA is when they find what they
- 24:31Speaker 16: find in the bag or the drugs or the toxicology,
- 24:35Speaker 16: they're going to go for homicide because when you supply
- 24:39Speaker 16: something to somebody and they die, that's homicide, not an accident.
- 24:46Speaker 1: So if the autopsy is done correctly and the Q-tip,
- 24:49Speaker 1: the long Q-tip like we used in COVID, is stuck
- 24:52Speaker 1: up the nose and swabbed, you will find traces, correct?
- 24:57Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Of Narcan.
- 24:59Speaker 16: But if she was dead, it will not have been
- 25:03Speaker 16: absorbed and it'll sit there. So that creates the timeline.
- 25:10Speaker 16: It helps you say, now you don't know when, but
- 25:13Speaker 16: if it's in her blood and in her nose, then
- 25:17Speaker 16: she would have got it in time. But if it's
- 25:20Speaker 16: not in her blood and it's only in her.
- 25:22Speaker 1: I need to ask him a question.
- 25:24Speaker 16: That is.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Maroney.
- 25:26Speaker 14: Maroney.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Yes. This is very, very confusing. I got to figure out...
- 25:36Speaker 1: If the Narcan is in her blood, then she did...
- 25:40Speaker 1: It was and missed her correctly. If it's just in
- 25:43Speaker 1: her nose, that means he stuck it up and it
- 25:46Speaker 1: just sat there and she never absorbed it because she's
- 25:48Speaker 1: already dead.
- 25:49Speaker 16: Because she's already dead. That's, if you find it in
- 25:53Speaker 16: the nose and it's not in her blood, that's clearly
- 25:55Speaker 16: exactly what.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't lose your thought because
- 26:00Speaker 1: I really want to hear it. To Eileen Reslin joining us,
- 26:06Speaker 1: senior showbiz exclusive investigative reporter, Daily Mail. What is the
- 26:11Speaker 1: boyfriend's story? Because when I smell a lie, I'm digging in.
- 26:16Speaker 1: I've got a bite. of his ankle, and I am
- 26:20Speaker 1: not letting go. What is he saying? When is he
- 26:24Speaker 1: saying he administered Narcan?
- 26:27Speaker 5: He hasn't released a statement yet saying whether he administered
- 26:31Speaker 5: the Narcan or not.
- 26:31Speaker 15: That was the brother, Zach, who claimed that he did.
- 26:34Speaker 15: Right now, he's lawyered up, Brian.
- 26:36Speaker 5: His lawyer is saying that let's let the investigation play out.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Let's not make any judgments yet. So he's already in
- 26:44Speaker 5: defense mode in that sense. But what we know about
- 26:47Speaker 5: him is that he is a criminal. I mean, he
- 26:49Speaker 5: abused Hayden. That was well documented in Hayden's biography.
- 26:53Speaker 15: He's been convicted.
- 26:55Speaker 5: He pleaded no contest in 2021. And what's really interesting, Nancy,
- 26:59Speaker 5: is that just the week prior to Hayden passing away,
- 27:02Speaker 5: he actually put in a request with the court to
- 27:05Speaker 5: have his charges expunged. And the judge actually denied it
- 27:10Speaker 5: because he said, I'm not allowing that to be expunged
- 27:13Speaker 5: because you've continued to be high. And they actually pointed
- 27:16Speaker 5: out to that TMZ interview that you played earlier that
- 27:19Speaker 5: That showed that he was not in a good state.
- 27:21Speaker 5: So why would they expunge the charges in that case?
- 27:25Speaker 5: And what the judge decided was decided just three days
- 27:30Speaker 5: before Hayden died. So I think the timing of all
- 27:33Speaker 5: of that is all very interesting.
- 27:35Speaker 9: His brother. gave us a statement that he texted Brian
- 27:43Speaker 9: and Hayden on that Sunday morning, last Sunday, and didn't
- 27:48Speaker 9: get a response, went to this Airbnb where they were,
- 27:51Speaker 9: and then found Brian, who had just woken up, and
- 27:56Speaker 9: Hayden laying in a bed. And Brian then administered Narcan
- 28:03Speaker 9: to her.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Okay. The brother says he arrives. He finds Brian, who
- 28:08Speaker 1: had just woken up, and Hayden still laying in a bed.
- 28:12Speaker 1: And Brian then administered Narcan to her. Whether Narcan is
- 28:18Speaker 1: in her blood or just in her nose, highly critical.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Who can tell me about the boyfriend who was not
- 28:26Speaker 1: a suspect or person of interest tonight? pawning Hayden's items,
- 28:32Speaker 1: her belongings, before her death. Dave Mack, Crime Stories, can
- 28:37Speaker 1: you tell me about that?
- 28:39Speaker 7: Yes, Nancy.
- 28:40Speaker 12: Hayden's estranged mother, Leslie Vogel, says that Leslie came out
- 28:47Speaker 12: to L.A. about a year ago to help Hayden get
- 28:50Speaker 12: through a serious health issue and claiming that Hayden was
- 28:55Speaker 12: suffering from some unexplained pain in her lower back.
- 29:00Speaker 1: And it was at.
- 29:01Speaker 12: That point where Leslie Vogel says that Brian Hickerson had
- 29:07Speaker 12: emotionally and physically damaged his Hayden Penitentiary for years and
- 29:13Speaker 12: she was depleted in every way, financially, emotionally, physically, and
- 29:18Speaker 12: that Brian Hickerson pawned pawned items of Hayden Penitentiary to
- 29:27Speaker 12: get cash.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Okay, Derek Smith joining us, criminal defense attorney. Derek, again,
- 29:34Speaker 1: he is not named a suspect in this case. That's
- 29:37Speaker 1: not a good look to just admit that you beat
- 29:40Speaker 1: her repeatedly.
- 29:41Speaker 10: No, I mean, yeah, it doesn't look good, but it
- 29:43Speaker 10: doesn't point to, again, a motive. I mean, you were
- 29:46Speaker 10: talking about doing drugs together. And like you just said
- 29:49Speaker 10: in that last segment, she was financially drained. Maybe they
- 29:52Speaker 10: owed money. Maybe she owed money to him. And she said, hey,
- 29:55Speaker 10: pawn my stuff, get your money back. Or they needed
- 29:57Speaker 10: more money to go get more supply.
- 29:59Speaker 11: They needed to resupply. So she sent him along, go
- 30:02Speaker 11: pawn my stuff.
- 30:04Speaker 1: You just run with that bone that she owed him money.
- 30:08Speaker 11: Well, she's financially depleted.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Could you help Derek Smith, please?
- 30:13Speaker 3: Dr.
- 30:13Speaker 9: Bethany.
- 30:14Speaker 14: The likelihood is he stalked her for a long, long
- 30:17Speaker 14: time because he wanted her money. He did file for
- 30:20Speaker 14: bankruptcy in 2022. And what happens when people want to
- 30:25Speaker 14: commit financial fraud on another individual is that they will
- 30:28Speaker 14: put that person in a vulnerable state so that that
- 30:32Speaker 14: person cannot complain. So my theory, I've never talked to
- 30:35Speaker 14: Brian Hickerson, but my theory is that he continued to
- 30:39Speaker 14: re-addict her knowing that that would take away her awareness
- 30:45Speaker 14: of what he was siphoning away. And I think this
- 30:47Speaker 14: is what's gonna come out in any kind of report
- 30:50Speaker 14: and investigation is what other ways was he having access
- 30:54Speaker 14: to her money? Right?
- 30:57Speaker 4: Dr.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Bethany, do you know one of the things the boyfriend
- 31:00Speaker 1: pawned was her vintage guitar? That probably meant something to
- 31:06Speaker 1: her sentimentally.
- 31:08Speaker 14: You know, people who commit financial fraud, they also hate
- 31:12Speaker 14: their victims.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:13Speaker 14: They feel that the victims have it coming to them. Nancy,
- 31:17Speaker 14: he wasn't just a boyfriend.
- 31:18Speaker 1: He stalked her.
- 31:19Speaker 14: Let's just be clear. He stalked her. He beat her.
- 31:22Speaker 14: He took her money. And as you're saying, pointing out,
- 31:25Speaker 14: he pawned her vintage guitar. And what does it mean
- 31:29Speaker 14: when you pawn something? When you pawn something, you're desperate
- 31:33Speaker 14: for cash right away. You're going to give it to
- 31:36Speaker 14: the pawn shop for pennies on the dollar. And this
- 31:39Speaker 14: is one of the things that underlies addiction is the
- 31:42Speaker 14: need to get that fix right away. Now, I just,
- 31:45Speaker 14: one other layer to all of this is that Zach
- 31:48Speaker 14: went to church that morning. Then he says that they
- 31:51Speaker 14: were unresponsive when he tried to call them. They were
- 31:54Speaker 14: supposed to go to lunch and then indoor golfing. He
- 31:57Speaker 14: says that Brian was waking up, but then he says
- 32:00Speaker 14: that he was administering Narcan. So both can't be true.
- 32:04Speaker 14: And it's very unusual for both people to use one
- 32:07Speaker 14: person to fall out as Dr. Maroney said. And then
- 32:11Speaker 14: the other one just magically wakes up just in time
- 32:15Speaker 14: to save the victim.
- 32:16Speaker 7: I mean, it was, who wants to read something about
- 32:22Speaker 7: themselves like that, right? But, you know, you got to
- 32:26Speaker 7: be vulnerable. And, you know, I did it. I did it.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
- 32:41Speaker 9: This is a brawl outside of a very fancy hotel
- 32:45Speaker 9: in Los Angeles. And that person there in the white sweater,
- 32:50Speaker 9: that is Hayden Panettiere in the middle of a just
- 32:54Speaker 9: crazy brawl that went down last night that started in
- 32:58Speaker 9: the bar at this hotel.
- 32:59Speaker 6: You see that's Brian in the white sweater who just
- 33:02Speaker 6: got hit. Now someone's on top of him and Hayden
- 33:07Speaker 6: isn't walking away from this. She is right there trying
- 33:09Speaker 6: to pull people off of Brian. She gets knocked over.
- 33:13Speaker 6: This is crazy.
- 33:16Speaker 11: At one point in that, guys, it looks like she
- 33:18Speaker 11: even took a foot to the face, too. It looks
- 33:20Speaker 11: like she got kicked.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Oh, the life that Hayden had been dragged into. That
- 33:27Speaker 1: is from our friends at TMZ and Inside Edition. Joining
- 33:32Speaker 1: us now is a special guest who has been waiting
- 33:36Speaker 1: patiently to speak about Hayden. It's Dylan Novak, a pastor
- 33:44Speaker 1: who shared the gospel with Hayden. He is the founder
- 33:51Speaker 1: of an evangelical ministry and is a star of Green
- 33:56Speaker 1: Room Gospel, his new podcast coming out fall. Dylan Novak,
- 34:01Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. I would like you
- 34:04Speaker 1: to explain to our viewers and listeners the Hayden that
- 34:09Speaker 1: you knew.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Well, Nancy, thank you so much for having me. My
- 34:14Speaker 2: wife and I, we met Hayden in Monroeville, Pennsylvania back
- 34:19Speaker 2: in 2024. And we've been doing this ministry for the
- 34:22Speaker 2: past 11 years, taking the gospel to different people in
- 34:25Speaker 2: the entertainment industry. Like the previous clip you just showed us,
- 34:29Speaker 2: This is what we see all of the time in ministry,
- 34:33Speaker 2: people searching for something so much more than what this
- 34:36Speaker 2: life has to offer, filling their life, filling that God-shaped
- 34:40Speaker 2: hole in their heart with the things of this world.
- 34:42Speaker 2: And this is the result that sadly happens. And Hollywood
- 34:46Speaker 2: is the known but forgotten. We all think about them.
- 34:51Speaker 2: We all know who they are. But sadly, we as
- 34:54Speaker 2: the church oftentimes just graze over them. We either say
- 34:57Speaker 2: they're a lost cause. Or we say, oh, nobody would
- 35:00Speaker 2: ever listen. And we've seen through our ministry, many people
- 35:03Speaker 2: give their lives to Christ. We've seen an outpour recently
- 35:06Speaker 2: of different people in the entertainment industry being outspoken with
- 35:10Speaker 2: their faith. And when we met Hayden, it was still CityCon.
- 35:14Speaker 2: It's just a comic con. It's a fan meet and greet.
- 35:19Speaker 2: And we were able to talk with her for a
- 35:21Speaker 2: few moments, and she talked about her daughter. And my
- 35:24Speaker 2: daughter at the time, she was two, about to turn three.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Her daughter was nine at the time. And she brought
- 35:31Speaker 2: up her past, along with some other issues. And there
- 35:35Speaker 2: was just... Such a sad presence. And it's the same
- 35:38Speaker 2: presence you see with anybody who is searching for that
- 35:42Speaker 2: God-shaped hole in their life, and they're filling it with
- 35:45Speaker 2: anything except the gospel of Christ. She was so kind
- 35:48Speaker 2: to us. She was so kind to our daughter and
- 35:51Speaker 2: open to listen. Some people we talk to are completely
- 35:55Speaker 2: closed off. They don't want to talk. It's very dismissed.
- 35:58Speaker 2: She was open. But there was just an overwhelming, sad presence.
- 36:07Speaker 1: Rob Shooter joining us, host of Naughty But Nice podcast,
- 36:12Speaker 1: very familiar with Hayden. He is the author of a
- 36:15Speaker 1: brand new bestseller, Queen Elizabeth III, The New American House
- 36:18Speaker 1: of Windsor. Rob, Hayden was searching. She was searching for
- 36:25Speaker 1: a way to change her life, to have a life
- 36:30Speaker 1: with her daughter, to move forward. What did you observe?
- 36:35Speaker 1: What do you know of Hayden?
- 36:38Speaker 4: That this was an incredibly talented, generous, kind person who
- 36:42Speaker 4: was just riddled with demons. And every time she tried
- 36:47Speaker 4: to get her life together, something came along and derailed her.
- 36:51Speaker 4: We know about her financial issues. The mistake a lot
- 36:55Speaker 4: of people make is they think all famous people are
- 36:58Speaker 4: very wealthy. She lived a relatively modest life. She didn't
- 37:02Speaker 4: live in a big mansion. in Bel Air. She had
- 37:05Speaker 4: a small apartment. We see where she was staying in
- 37:09Speaker 4: South Carolina. It's not at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. It's
- 37:12Speaker 4: at a rented apartment, a luxury apartment, but it's not
- 37:15Speaker 4: where Julia Roberts would stay. So I know she struggled
- 37:18Speaker 4: with money. I know she struggled with happiness. She felt
- 37:22Speaker 4: Hollywood had left her be. This was a child star.
- 37:26Speaker 4: And Hollywood has this horrible habit of throwing them aside
- 37:30Speaker 4: and finding somebody knew her career wasn't in a place
- 37:33Speaker 4: where she wanted it to be. I was told one
- 37:36Speaker 4: of the reasons she wrote her memoir was she wanted
- 37:38Speaker 4: the money. She needed the money. She wasn't getting acting jobs.
- 37:43Speaker 4: So if you add all that together, it's a very desperate,
- 37:46Speaker 4: a very sad, but not that unusual Hollywood story. Very sad.
- 37:54Speaker 3: Dr.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, not only a renowned psychoanalyst, but the daughter
- 37:59Speaker 1: to missionaries who go around the world spreading the gospel,
- 38:04Speaker 1: it just breaks my heart to hear Pastor Dylan Novak
- 38:08Speaker 1: speaking about Hayden searching. We're all seekers, right? We're all seeking.
- 38:15Speaker 1: But to know that she was searching and seeking the gospel,
- 38:22Speaker 1: but before she could find any peace in this world,
- 38:27Speaker 1: She died, and just all of these leeches sucking her blood,
- 38:33Speaker 1: sucking her dry.
- 38:35Speaker 14: We had experienced this from the time she was little
- 38:38Speaker 14: in kindergarten. She was bullied by a teacher and by
- 38:41Speaker 14: fellow students for being an actor. This continued throughout middle school.
- 38:46Speaker 14: She was addicted at 15 and 16, opioids and stimulants.
- 38:51Speaker 14: A stimulant was given to her by somebody she trusted.
- 38:54Speaker 14: She goes on to Nashville and the writers of that
- 38:57Speaker 14: show parallel the script with Hayden Panettiere's life. And they
- 39:03Speaker 14: give her the script so soon before each taping that
- 39:07Speaker 14: she doesn't have a chance to object to it. So
- 39:10Speaker 14: her show begins to mimic her addiction, her pregnancy, all
- 39:14Speaker 14: of that. And Nancy, you talked about seeking. It is
- 39:17Speaker 14: very common for people who are struggling with addiction. And
- 39:21Speaker 14: we know she admitted herself. to treatment facilities. Nobody had
- 39:27Speaker 14: to push her to grow. Nobody had to push her
- 39:29Speaker 14: to go. So she was seeking God, a higher power,
- 39:34Speaker 14: which is a part of addiction recovery, attachment systems, which
- 39:37Speaker 14: had been taken away from her from the very beginning.
- 39:41Speaker 14: And I see this in my Beverly Hills office all
- 39:43Speaker 14: the time. Stars who come in and they don't talk
- 39:46Speaker 14: about their careers. They talk about wanting to be loved.
- 39:49Speaker 14: They talk about going to church. They talk about their relationships.
- 39:52Speaker 14: They talk about their pastor. That's what everybody wants at
- 39:56Speaker 14: the end of the day, relationship with God and with others.
- 39:58Speaker 14: And one other quick thing, when you're a child actor,
- 40:02Speaker 14: your sense of self becomes fused with the camera. That
- 40:05Speaker 14: camera holds your identity and your self-esteem rises and falls
- 40:10Speaker 14: on the smiles and frowns of others, which makes you very,
- 40:13Speaker 14: very vulnerable to to what other people think about you,
- 40:16Speaker 14: not what the public thinks, but what your loved ones
- 40:19Speaker 14: think about you, which then makes you vulnerable to exploitation.
- 40:23Speaker 14: So this was a perfect storm of many, many, many factors.
- 40:28Speaker 14: And I wish Pastor, who is here today, could have
- 40:31Speaker 14: had much more time with her because he said that
- 40:34Speaker 14: he and his wife sound very loving and like they
- 40:36Speaker 14: could have helped take her away from Brian and played
- 40:39Speaker 14: a larger role in her life.
- 40:41Speaker 1: The death of this beautiful young TV movie star and
