230. “Monster in the Swamp” - The Case of Quatisha and Shandelle Maycock - Miami-Dade, Florida · Least of These

0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to least of these where I cover the cases that need it most because every life matters and everyone deserves justice.
0:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host, Leah D. and today I'll be covering the case of Shandell and Quotitia makeup in Miami, Florida.
0:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get right to it.
0:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Alligator Ali is a 78-mile stretch of Interstate 75 in South Florida that runs right through the Everglades, connecting the city of Naples in Fort Waterdale.
1:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It got its name while as I'm sure you've probably guessed from the number of alligators in the surrounding Everglades wetlands, at least in part.
1:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Another reason is that when the road was first built in 1968, it was a treacherous two-lane route through the swamps, with no guard rails or fences keeping the alligators off the road.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: A road that flooded all the time, and many claim that that road was only fit for reptiles, and sarcastically called it alligator alley.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: That nicknamed stuck, throughout the years, and the numerous upgrades.
1:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Even today, upgrades in all, it's a long boring stretch of road that runs through one of the harshest terrains in Florida, the Everglades, which span roughly 1.5 million acres across the southern tip of the state.
1:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Everglades' national park is the largest sub-tropical wilderness area in the United States.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: and wilderness is exactly what the park entails.
1:59
[SPEAKER_00]: 86% of the park is designated as wilderness and the form of coastal lowlands, main groves, canals, and just straight swamp.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, everyone knows about the alligators, but they're also American crocodiles and predators of every time.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There's bull sharks and salt water areas, invasive pythons and anocondas, native Florida panthers, bobgats, coyotes, and mosquitoes the size of your palm.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, maybe not quite that big, but about 20 times larger than your typical run of the male mosquito.
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The Everglades are breathtakingly beautiful with a land unaffected by human hands as far as the eyes can see, and wildlife that you might only get the chance to see once in a lifetime.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: But that vast wilderness can also be dangerous.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of crazy when you think about it.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: The suburban city of Miami is just 42 miles or about an hour's drive from the glades.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: two places separated by a short stretch of highway, yet they are world's apart.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: In 1998, 22-year-old Shandou Makak was a single mother to her five-year-old daughter Kutisha, who she called candy.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: The Daytona Beach News Journal reported that Shandou was just 16 when she got pregnant with Kutisha, and her family wasn't supportive in the least.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle's family kicked her out after learning she was pregnant and from that point forward, it was Shandelle and Quatisha against the world.
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle loved her little girl from the moment she found out she was pregnant and despite all of the odds, she was gonna make a life for the two of them.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is exactly what Shandelle did.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: After she was thrown out by her family, Shandell enrolled in a school for pregnant mothers, earned her high school diploma, and by the fall of 1998, she was working as a secretary at an office just north of Miami.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: She had just moved into a new apartment with Kutisha.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a small efficiency apartment attached to the house of her landlord, but it was a place for her in Kutisha to call home.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle was working hard to provide a good life for her daughter.
4:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And Little Quattisha was hitting milestones of her own.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: She had just started kindergarten and loved writing her name.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle and Quattisha were active in a local church, or Quattisha enjoyed singing in the choir.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was at that church that Shandelle may cog met a couple through a mutual friend.
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The couple, 49-year-old Harold Brady, and his 50-year-old wife, Satiria, were a little older and kind and helpful.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: They were also active in the church and Harold's father was a pastor.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: About all Shandell knew was that Harold was a concrete blocklayer and had been married to Satiria for about 26 years.
4:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Harrel and Satiria would stop by to see if Shandell needed any help with anything, and it seemed the couple just really wanted to help the young mother out.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: According to court documents shortly after they met Harrel Brady began dropping by Shandell's home without Satiria.
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He'd show up unannounced, uninvited, and sometimes with no apparent reason.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell brush it off at first as him being a nice person, just wanting to help her out.
5:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, he did help her out.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell hadn't saved up enough for a car yet, and Harold would frequently give her rides to him from work, or to the laundry mat, or to pick up Quatisha.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But then one night things took a disturbing turn.
5:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brady was over a chandelse apartment, and at some point he touched her inappropriately, placing his hands between chandelse legs.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Now apparently Harold did it in more of a joking manner.
5:37
[SPEAKER_00]: But chandelse, well she wasn't having any of that.
5:40
[SPEAKER_00]: She pushed Harrell away, grabbed a knife and threatened him, basically letting him know that if he ever tried to touch her like that again, it'd be the last time.
5:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Harrell left the apartment that night, later apologized profusely, and promised that it would never happen again.
5:56
[SPEAKER_00]: As you can imagine, that incident set up a red flag for Shandell.
6:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Though Harold had always been helpful and would continue to be, what happened at the apartment that night was there in the back of her mind?
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But Harold did seem genuinely sorry, and he was still willing to help her get to and from work.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And Lord knows she needed the help.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: She really didn't have much support, and she had to get back and forth to work.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, while everything was fine,
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Friday, November 6, 1998, was no different.
6:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell had to work that day, and five-year-old Quattisha was being babysat, while Shandell worked her shift.
6:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Braddie picked Shandell up from work into her back to her apartment.
6:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He left Shandell's place at around 5.30 pm, and Shandell began to call around looking for a ride to go and pick up her daughter.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: For whatever reason, it seemed Shandell then won Braddy to take her to get Quattisha, so she called around to practically everyone she knew looking for a ride, but by 10pm she still hadn't found one.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: At that point, Harrow Braddy rolled up back at Shandell's apartment in a brand new gold 1999 Lincoln towncar that he had rented earlier in the day.
7:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He was there and he had a car, so Shandell asked him if he could run her over to get Quattisha.
7:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy told her that he would, but that they needed to talk.
7:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell brushed it to the side and the two of them went and picked up Quattisha and then came back to Shandell's apartment.
7:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell continued on with her nightly routine, sweeping and straightening up the house.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But Harold Braddy was insistent that they needed to talk.
7:41
[SPEAKER_00]: As Harrell was going on about how they needed to talk, Shandelle's phone rang, and she saw an opportunity.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: She answered the phone, talked for a brief moment, and then told Brady that he needed to leave because it was late and she was expecting company.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That last part was a lie.
7:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody was coming over.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle just wanted him to leave.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: She didn't feel like having some long drawn-out conversation.
8:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's when things exploded.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: When Shandell told Braddie to leave, he hopped up out of the chair he was sitting in, attacked her out of nowhere and threatened to kill her.
8:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was easy for Braddie to overpower Shandell.
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He was six feet tall, 200 pounds, and extremely physically fit.
8:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He wrapped his hands around her neck and choked her until she lost consciousness.
8:29
[SPEAKER_00]: At some point, Shandell woke up and when she regained consciousness, she was still there in the apartment with Bratty.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he realized that she was away, he choked her until she passed out again.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell regained consciousness for a second time and found herself in the backseat of the car still parked in her driveway.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Her five-year-old daughter Quattisha was in the front passenger seat, and Brady was in the driver's seat.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: When Brady began to drive, Shandell pulled Quattisha into the back seat of the car and told her that they needed to jump out.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Quattisha was afraid and Brady figured out what Shandell was trying to do.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He told her not to jump, but Shandell pulled Quattisha tight to her chest and opened the car door.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: When Harold Brady saw this, he hit the gas intern to corner.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell and Quatisha tumbled out of the car.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell tried to hold on to Quatisha, but the force of the impact ripped the two apart.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The fall left a deep gash on Shandell's right foot and an injury to her collarbone.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: As she tried to get up to grab Quatisha and run, she heard her daughter calling out to her, Mommy, Mommy, as she cried and limp towards her.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy stopped, grabbed Quatisha and put her back in the car, and then this time he put Shandell in the trunk.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell overheard Braddy tell Quatisha that he was going to take them home.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: She prayed that it was true, but quickly realized that it wasn't.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell would later testify that she was in the trunk and the car was moving for 30 to 45 minutes.
9:59
[SPEAKER_00]: After that, the car stopped abruptly, and Braddy pulled her out of the trunk.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You used me.
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: She answered back, no, I just needed a ride.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I should kill you," he said, as he threw her to the ground and choked her again until she lost consciousness.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: This time, Shandell remained unconscious for a long period of time.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: hours.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: When she woke up it was daylight and she was lying in a remote area in a sugarcane field completely alone.
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only did she have no clue where she was, her five-year-old daughter was not with her.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: She andel pulled herself up and staggered to the road nearby.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: She flagged on a passing motorist who called the police.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle was beaten, bruised, bleeding barefoot and covered in bug bites, but she was alive.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: She was transported to Glades Hospital.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Detectives arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter, and Shandell told them every detail she could remember about what had happened.
11:24
[SPEAKER_00]: She gave police a description of Harold Brady along with a description of Quattisha.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: According to court documents, two detectives with a Miami-Dade police detective Milito and detective Mirius went to Brady's home looking for Quattisha.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Moments after they arrived, they watched as Harold Brady left his home in the Lincoln towncar.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They followed behind him and he pulled up to a gas station.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: When Brady was pumping gas, the detective's approached him and asked about Quatisha.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Brady denied knowing anything about where Quatisha would be, and at first he appeared calm, cool and collected, like he just happened to be out getting gas.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But when detectives told him that Shandell was alive and that she had already told them that he was involved in Quattichus disappearance, Braddy turned pill as a ghost.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He began to sweat, shake, cry, and claim to feel faint.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He must have really thought he had killed Shandell, but she had survived and told police everything.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Detective Malito immediately put Braddie in cuffs, not because he was under arrest, at least not yet, but for safety reasons, because of Braddie's extensive criminal record.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: As it turned out the man who Shandell thought was a nice, older, helpful pastor son had just been released from prison.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brady had been released after serving will kind of serving a 30-year prison sentence.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He had been out all of 18 months prior to kidnapping and attacking Shandell in Quattitia.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's important to note here again that Shandell didn't know any of this until after the attack.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brady was a violent repeat offender.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: The Miami-Herald reported that in 1984, Brady was charged with the first degree attempted murder of his girlfriend after she tried to leave him and he shot her in the arm.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: After he was denied bail at a hearing on that case, on his way to a holding cell, Brady overpowered an officer, beat him and choked him with a belt until he lost consciousness, and then locked him in a cell.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That officer needed an emergency
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And if he hadn't gotten it in time, he would have died.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: After attacking the officer, Braddy was able to escape and went on the run.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: 11 days after the courthouse incident, Harold Braddy was arrested in Hollywood, Florida, for breaking into an electronic store.
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He tried to get away, but a police dog tracked him down and bit him.
13:53
[SPEAKER_00]: After his arrest, he was taken to the emergency room for treatment, and while at the hospital, Bradley attacked the two officers watching him, bolted from the ER, and escaped.
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He was found three days later, again with the help of a police dog who just so happened to bite him again.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, he was transported back to the hospital.
14:15
[SPEAKER_00]: While getting treatment, he asked a deputy guarding him if he could unlock his bed chains so he could go to the bathroom.
14:20
[SPEAKER_00]: When the deputy unlocked them, Brady lunched at the officer and grabbed his gun.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Another officer rushed in and Brady disarmed him as well.
14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He forced both officers into the bathroom, ripped out his IV and ran.
14:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And he wasn't done there.
14:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He wound up in an upscale neighborhood in Hollywood where he broke into the home of an elderly couple and hit in a bedroom for six hours.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: When the woman heard scratching coming from the closet, she called her husband.
14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: At that point, Brady jumped out with a gun, threatened the couple and stole their station wagon.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: A few days later, Braddy carjacked a 22-year-old male, taking his white catalac with the victim still in the car.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: After 30 minutes of driving, afraid of what was going to happen, the young man jumped out of the moving vehicle.
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran and was able to hide until Braddy stopped looking for him and drove off.
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, Braddy fled to Georgia where he was caught.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: On October 14, 1984, Georgia Police pulled over a white Cadillac with a stolen tag, and Harold Braddy was behind the wheel, and he almost got away again.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy had a fake driver's license and had memorized the name, address, everything, everything except the date of birth.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: When he didn't remember his own birthday, police were suspicious.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they searched the car, they found the Broward County Officer's service weapon on the floor board.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He was promptly arrested and extradited back to Florida.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That crime spree landed Bradley a laundry list of charges, and he was convicted of most of them.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: According to Florida DOC records, in the fall of 1984, Brady was convicted of burglary of an occupied dwelling, kidnapping, robbery with a gun or deadly weapon, and escape.
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Those were the Brower County charges.
16:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He had also been convicted in Miami-Dade of kidnapping during the commission of a felony, robbery with a gun or deadly weapon, armed burglary, another escape, and first degree attempted
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy pled guilty to trying to kill the jail guard and the attempted murder of his girlfriend was dropped completely, which is why there are not two attempted murder charges when they're certainly should be.
16:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Judging from the sentences he received for those crimes, you think that there was no way this guy was ever getting out.
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Reading his prison jacket, he was sentenced to 30 years on five charges, 17 on a few others, 15 years on several, and five years for one of the burglaries.
16:55
[SPEAKER_00]: All in 1985, it was only 1998, and he'd been free for almost two years.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, math is hard, but it ain't that hard.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy had done somewhere around 12 years in prison and been released.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And after all of that, you want to guess why he was released?
17:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, good behavior.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way in hell this guy should have gotten released early for good behavior, but that's exactly what happened.
17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: The Palm Beach Post reported back in 1997 that Brady was part of more than 1,200 felons released early from Florida prisons after a US Supreme Court ruling restored their credited time for good behavior.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The court ruled that any inmate who was eligible for credits when they came to prison must receive them, regardless of whether or not they committed extremely violent crimes.
17:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Thousands of inmates, many of them violent were turned
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy isn't the only inmate from that bunch of release felons who went on to commit more violent crimes, up to an including murder, there are plenty of other cases, but those are stories for another day.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Thankfully, that law has been changed and it's now required that all inmates serve 85% of their sentence.
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But unfortunately, that did nothing to protect Shanbell and Quatisha.
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: After 39-year-old Harold Brady was located at a local gas station, detectives copped him and took him to the Miami-Dade County Police Department for an interview.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lincoln town car he was driving when Shandell and Quatisha were abducted was sent to be processed.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Detectives Chambers and Sukho read Brady his rights and he agreed to talk.
18:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He also agreed to give DNA samples and for his home in the town car to be searched.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He hesitated when signing the last consent form, so to detect if Zuko went a step further and obtained search warrants in addition to the consent warrants for the housing car.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Brady again denied any in all involvement.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He told police that he was at home all night while his family was out.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He refused to give detectives any information about where Quattitia was, and got visibly agitated when talking about Chandel.
19:30
[SPEAKER_00]: At the same time, Harold Brady was in the interview room, detectives out in the field were speaking with his wife, Satiria.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And wouldn't you know it?
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a completely different story.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: She told investigators that she had been home with their children all night, and that actually Harold Brady was the one who was out.
19:49
[SPEAKER_00]: She went on to say that Brady hadn't returned home until between 130 and 230 AM on November 7.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And she knew that for certain, because when he returned strange noises coming from the garage,
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: She went to the door to greater husband and when she did, she saw him wiping down the interior of the Renett towncar with a cloth.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Later, she went to the laundry room and noticed that the washing machine was running.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And when she looked inside, she saw the clothes bratty had been wearing earlier that night.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Detectives also spoke to Shandell's landlord who lived in the House Shandell's apartment was attached to.
20:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The landlord told officials that he heard shouting shortly before midnight that night, and when he looked outside, he saw a herald brat he standing at the driver's side door of the car.
20:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Quatisha was standing next to the passenger side.
20:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't see Shandell anywhere.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: As detectives in the interview room with Brady began to piece together in formation as it came in from the field, they quickly determined that Brady was lying to them about everything.
20:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, of course he was, but now they had other witness statements to prove it.
20:53
[SPEAKER_00]: According to court documents that approximately 115am on November 8th, Brady was confronted with his lies and he stated, I can't tell you, even if I'm found innocent, my family will not talk to me again.
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: As detectives press him, he eventually kind of admitted to attacking Shandou, or at least admitted he had left her in that field that night.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But Braddy flat out refused to answer questions about Quattisha.
21:17
[SPEAKER_00]: The harder he was pressed, the more he sat there with a blank stare or put his head down on the table.
21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Questioning went on for hours, and Braddy gave them nothing at first, and then told them that he had lasting Quattisha alive sometime after midnight that Friday night.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, at around 8 a.m. on November 8, he changed his story again and told detectives that he had left Quattisha in the same area he had left Shandell and that he hadn't harmed her.
21:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He then said he was tired of talking and if detectives didn't believe his story, they could just take him on to jail.
21:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The detectives in the room stopped the interview to inform their supervisor of Braddy's confession.
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: While they were speaking to the supervisor, Braddy was left all alone in
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: When Detective Sugo came back into the room at approximately 11.30am, he found Braddie standing on a chair in the corner of the room with his shoes off, presumably looking for a way out.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Before the detective could say anything to Braddie, he jumped to the ground and said, I'll take you to where I left her.
22:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Detectives along with Harold Brattie jumped into a car.
22:23
[SPEAKER_00]: At this point, everyone believed there was a good chance Quattisha was alive.
22:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Investigators drove north from Miami-Dade County onto Highway 27 through Broward and into Palm Beach County to the place where Shandell had been found.
22:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, police were already there, collecting evidence of the scene and searching for Quattisha.
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Bratty took detectives along dirt roads and fields just at the highway for approximately three hours, but there was no sign of Quatisha.
22:50
[SPEAKER_00]: At that point, one detective detective Smith had had enough.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Bratty was playing them and they knew it, and there was a five-year-old little girl's life at state.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Detective Smith pulled Brady out of the car, grabbed him by the shirt and pinned him against the side of the car with his forearm pressed on Brady's throat.
23:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Be a man, he screamed in Brady's face, be accountable, tell us where she is.
23:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But Brady gave no response.
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Quattisha was still missing and investigators were becoming more and more desperate to find her.
23:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They took Brady on a foot search of the area.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Detective Smith continued to try and get it out of him, but changed tactics.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Being forceful hadn't gotten him very far, so Detective Smith began to make small talk with Brady, asking him about his family and hobbies.
23:38
[SPEAKER_00]: As the two chatted, Brady asked Detective Smith a haunting question.
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He asked him how long it would take for a body to float to the surface that was left in the water.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He went on to say that though he had left Quattisha alive, she might have fallen into the water after he had left.
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The Daytona Beach Journal reported that after hours of wondering aimlessly, Detective Pat Diaz kind of took over talking to Brady.
24:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He chatted with him and shared part of his sandwich, and casually said, I've been down this road before, speaking of searching for a missing child.
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He continued.
24:13
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not here, is she?
24:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And Brady answered, no, she's not.
24:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He told Detective Diaz that he had left the little girl on the side of the road in the swamp off alligator alley.
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: For hours, Braddy had taken police on a wild goose chase, and it was possible that this was just another.
24:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy described an area with a bridge crossing over a canal on that section of I-75 in Broward County, known as alligator alley.
24:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He went on to talk about three different bridges at Mile Marker's 28, 30, and 33, but told officials he wasn't certain which bridge he had left her.
24:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Bratty told investigators that he had left Quatisha on the side of the road and the middle of the Everglades that night because he was angry with Shandell and worried that Quatisha would tell people what he had done to her mother.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy also admitted that when he left the little girl he, quote, new, she would probably die.
25:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Going on to say that when she had not been found by Sunday evening, he knew she was probably dead.
25:15
[SPEAKER_00]: This monster had left an injured five-year-old girl in the middle of one of the harshest environments in the state of Florida, where
25:30
[SPEAKER_00]: With two days having passed at this point, it was more and more likely the quotisha would not be found alive.
25:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Authorities searched with Braddie until it got dark that night of November 8.
25:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The Palm Beach Post reported that more than 75 police officials, three helicopters at least one with Emperor technology, boats and at least nine police dogs scoured the area, but they found no sign of quotisha.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The area was a large 6400-acre track next to a part of the Everglades that South Florida Water Management was turning into a pollution filtering marsh.
26:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It was vast and had canals running all through it.
26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: There were also sugarcane fields and a state hunting track that was full of alligators, venomous snakes, and feral hogs.
26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There were 20 feet deep pits and numerous ditches from the construction that was going on, and at the time the water in the canals was unusually high after heavy
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The ground was saturated and the mud had become almost like Quixan.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Needless to say, it was a nightmare for searchers.
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: While search team scoured for any sign of Quatisha, Harold Bradysfather Joe, you know the pastor, spoke to the press, specifically the Palm Beach Post, and he had concerns of his own, but they weren't for Quatisha.
26:48
[SPEAKER_00]: After going on and on about how his son had rented the town car in order to drive to a religious convention in Pompano Beach, he went on to complain about the fact that police still had the car in their custody.
27:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He told the outlet the family was anxious to get the car back so they could stop paying the $50 day charge to Enterprise Arena Car.
27:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I am rarely rendered speechless, but I honestly don't even know what to say.
27:15
[SPEAKER_00]: A little girl was missing, but this so-called man of God was worried about a $50 charge for a car, a car that was at the center of said little girl's disappearance, and the fact that he said those words out loud to the press, knowing the world was going to read them.
27:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he honestly think anyone was going to have any sympathy for his son's rental car bill?
27:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, get all the way out of here with that.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: After Bratty finally disclosed a location where he had left Quatisha, the search intensified, and Bratty was taken back to the Miami-Dade Police Department for more questioning.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: When investigators got back into the interview room, they'd been in previously, they noticed that a metal ceiling grate in the corner of the room directly above the chair Bratty had been caught standing in, had been bent up on both ends.
28:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He had in fact tried to escape, which wasn't all that surprising considering his history.
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Detectives took him to a different interview room and tried to get the truth out of him, but yet again, the truth just wasn't in him.
28:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Searches continued until it just got too dark to see.
28:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Throughout the night plans were made for more searches, as soon as daylight broke.
28:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But those searches wouldn't be necessary.
28:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Early the following morning, so that takes us to Monday, November 9, two fishermen found the body of a child, floating in a canal running parallel to alligator
28:40
[SPEAKER_00]: at mile marker 34, right near the area Braddy had said he left Quattisha.
28:46
[SPEAKER_00]: The body was recovered and it was, indeed, five-year-old Quattisha make-off.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: What the medical examiner found was devastating?
28:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Quattisha had suffered multiple injuries.
28:58
[SPEAKER_00]: There were brush burns or road rash consistent with her falling out of the car onto the pavement when Shandell had tried to escape.
29:05
[SPEAKER_00]: The little girl had suffered blunt force trauma to the left side of her head that the medical examiner concluded was consistent with her falling from a great distance.
29:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Not like a fall from the car, but more like a fall from the side of the road onto the jutting rocks at Linnica now where her body had been found.
29:22
[SPEAKER_00]: However, after being thrown in the canal, Quatisha hadn't instantly.
29:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The little girl had suffered alligator bites to her torso and head while she was still alive.
29:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The medical examiner theorized that she was likely unconscious after the fall when she was bitten.
29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But of course, that couldn't be determined for sure.
29:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Her cause of death was due to blunt force trauma to the head from the fall, and further
29:51
[SPEAKER_00]: After her death, animal predation had continued, but we're not going to get into all those details because it's just not necessary.
29:59
[SPEAKER_00]: What Braddy had done was horrific beyond all comprehension.
30:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He hadn't just left Patricia by the roadside, hoping someone would pick her up.
30:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He had made sure that she'd never be able to leave that swamp alive.
30:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Braddy knew the area.
30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He had worked around there and spent time fishing in the Everglades.
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew that a five-year-old girl stood no chance anywhere near a canal full of alligators.
30:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was if she had been able to survive the fall in the first place.
30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy was charged with first-degree murder and child neglect, kidnapping times two, attempted murder and escape.
30:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He entered a plea of not guilty.
31:01
[SPEAKER_00]: After Harold Brady was charged in the attack on Shandell in the murder of her daughter Quattitia, he entered a plea of not guilty.
31:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The case was headed to trial.
31:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But that trial wouldn't happen for nearly a decade, because as the case made its way towards that trial, Brady was able to convince the judge to remove multiple lawyers, and every time the process started all over.
31:24
[SPEAKER_00]: At the time, state assistant attorney Anne Riffkin said, we run into all kinds of jailhouse lawyers, but he's the most eloquent I've seen.
31:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But that wasn't exactly surprising, because the last time Brady was in prison, he became the prison law clerk because of his quote unquote good behavior.
31:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that same good behavior that got him out of a 30-year prison sentence in just 12 years.
31:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyhow, one of the lawyers removed from his case didn't think he was so eloquent or even smart.
31:52
[SPEAKER_00]: After he was released from being Braddy's attorney, Remberto Diaz told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that Braddy was an idiot.
31:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He stated, half of what he does is pretty good, but he is an idiot.
32:04
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time the lawyers read his files, he fires them.
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy continued firing lawyers and trying to
32:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He had successfully delayed justice for quotation and shandell for almost a decade.
32:22
[SPEAKER_00]: The trial finally began in July of 2007, prosecutors were seeking the death penalty.
32:27
[SPEAKER_00]: That trial would last a week.
32:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Due to Brady's prior escape attempts, especially that one in the courtroom, security was on a whole nother level.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Braddy was fitted with a leg brace that held his knee stiff to prevent him from running, and he was also wearing an electronic device on his arm that would give off an electric shock if he was to try anything.
32:49
[SPEAKER_00]: As far as the evidence went, I mean it was a slam dunk.
32:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Braddie had basically confessed.
32:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle Maycock had survived and she bravely told her story, recounting every detail.
33:01
[SPEAKER_00]: She walked into that courtroom with only God and an advocate from the court at her side.
33:06
[SPEAKER_00]: She took the stand and told the jury all about her daughter, how much she loved her, and then told the jury about how Braddie had beat her, choked her repeatedly, and left her for dead.
33:17
[SPEAKER_00]: She recounted the desperation as she jumped from the car trying to save herself in her five-year-old.
33:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And she described the last moment she had with her little girl.
33:27
[SPEAKER_00]: It was emotional, impactful, and everyone in the courtroom clung to every word.
33:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone that is with the exception of the defendant, who through the course of the trial, had his anger on full display.
33:39
[SPEAKER_00]: There were many outbursts, and at times it appeared he tried to intimidate the witnesses.
33:45
[SPEAKER_00]: The Miami-Herald reported that when it was time for Shandell to testify, Harold Brady was removed from the courtroom as she walked in so that she wouldn't have to walk directly past him to take the stand.
33:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He was brought back in before her testimony began.
33:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he was brought back in, he seed with anger.
34:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The courtroom was silent when he blurted out.
34:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Since everybody feels like they're afraid of me, I'll stay home and let my lawyers do the trial.
34:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Judge Leonard Glick burst his bubble pretty quickly, stating from the bench, I hate to disappoint you, but no one's afraid of you here.
34:21
[SPEAKER_00]: The medical examiner described Quattisha's injuries, multiple investigators and detectives recalled their interviews with Braddy, telling the jury that he had confessed, described the area where he left Quattisha, and asked that odd question about how long it would take a body in water to float.
34:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said before, slammed on.
34:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it came time for the defense, they tried to put the blame on Shandell.
34:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They'd hinted at that all along, but in closing defense attorney Farah made it crystal clear when addressing the jury, stating, Quattitia Maycock suffered an injury and died as a result of flying out of a car and hitting her head on Iv's dairy road.
34:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's up to you to decide whether Mr. Braddie is responsible for that.
35:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And when that statement was made, Harold Braddie tried to interrupt his own attorney right there in the middle of closing arguments because even he'd been by that bullshit theory.
35:13
[SPEAKER_00]: After a lunch recess, he handed over a handwritten objection to his own defense attorneys argument, which he himself said was contrary to the evidence since Quattisha was walking and talking after the jump from the car.
35:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe I'm saying this, but perhaps there is one thing Harold Brady was right about.
35:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Cleaming Shandell was responsible for the death of her daughter while trying to escape her kidnapper was not only not backed up by any evidence, it was insane.
35:42
[SPEAKER_00]: However, the jury was never made aware that the defendant objected to that claim.
35:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And the State's closing arguments assistant state attorney Anne Riffkin brought it all back to Quattisha, asking the jury to consider her final moments.
35:56
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, you're five, you're hurt, you're alone, it's dark.
36:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The jury deliberated for about two hours and found Harold Brady guilty of trying to escape, guilty of burglary, guilty of attempted murder, guilty of two counts of kidnapping, and guilty of the first degree murder of Quattitia Maycau.
36:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Brady had been found guilty now the jury would have to decide whether he should serve life in prison or be executed by the state of Florida.
36:24
[SPEAKER_00]: At sentencing, Brady pleaded for leniency, stating it one point,
36:32
[SPEAKER_00]: his family members testified about how he'd gotten a job, got back with his wife, and began attending the church he'd been raised in once he had been released from prison.
36:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty sure we're talking about the same church he had met chandelain.
36:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if that ain't enough to gag a maggot, I really don't know what is.
36:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The jury wasn't feeling it either, they voted 11-1 for the death penalty, and ultimately Judge Leonard Glick agreed.
36:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brattie was sentenced to death.
37:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And his sentencing order Judge Glick wrote in part, the defendant caused this five-year-old to die alone in the wilderness, and to be mutilated by monsters of the swamp.
37:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Adults are supposed to protect children from monsters.
37:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They are not supposed to be the monsters themselves.
37:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brattie was hauled away to prison, sitting on death row, only identified as inmate number 406 356, which is where he should have been, rotting away, baiting into obscurity until the day his number was called and his death sentence carried out.
37:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But Brattie continued to play the system, filing appeals, firing lawyers, and trying his best to exhaust the legal system.
37:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Those appeals, however, were all denied and his execution date grew closer.
37:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That was up until 2017 when Braddy's death sentence was overturned.
37:52
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason?
37:53
[SPEAKER_00]: In 2017, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that a new law stating that only 10 of 12 jurors had to recommend the death penalty for it to be imposed was on constitutional, stating that jury verdicts needed to be unanimous.
38:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And Braddy's case, the verdict was 11 to 1 death, almost unanimous, but not quite.
38:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And that granted Harold Braddy in about 100 other Florida death row inmates the opportunity for new sentencing hearings.
38:22
[SPEAKER_00]: There wouldn't be a whole new trial, but there would be a whole new sentencing phase.
38:27
[SPEAKER_00]: which meant that Chandel Maycock would have to take the stand all over again, and testify about the attack that took her five-year-old little girl, her whole world from her, and almost ended her life as well.
38:38
[SPEAKER_00]: In January of 2026, she was back in a Miami-Date courtroom.
38:43
[SPEAKER_00]: She told the jury that though nearly three decades had passed, her pain was just as raw as the dequitisha was taken from her.
38:50
[SPEAKER_00]: She went on to say that over those years she had recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks over what had happened to her daughter.
38:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brattie had taken everything from her.
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: She stated, Quattisha was my whole reason for living.
39:04
[SPEAKER_00]: She was the only person I knew really loved me besides God.
39:08
[SPEAKER_00]: With tears streaming down her face, Shandell continued on.
39:12
[SPEAKER_00]: She was being raised with love and affection, and she would have been somebody who made a difference.
39:17
[SPEAKER_00]: She showed respect and love to everyone she met, and in her quiet way she lit up a room when she walked in.
39:23
[SPEAKER_00]: That light has been snuffed out, and my world will be forever dark without her.
39:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Harold Brady was sentenced to death in 2007, and absolutely nothing had changed except the passage of time.
39:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The crime was just as heinous.
39:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just as callous and a jury who had sat there in an entire trial and heard all of the evidence had sentenced him to death.
39:48
[SPEAKER_00]: All of them but one.
39:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Prosecutors in Shandell believe the jury had gotten it right.
39:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But Braddie's defense team pleaded for his life.
39:57
[SPEAKER_00]: His attorneys asked a jury to consider who Braddie was before his crime spree.
40:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They described him as a generous family man and went on to say that he had been a model prisoner in his decades of incarceration and also pointed out that he had health issues including throat cancer and brain and nerve damage.
40:15
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, they asked the jury to consider everything, except, you know, those years where he nearly killed a court officer in two deputies, shot his ex-girlfriend, robbed a 20-year-old man who had to bail out of a moving car, attacked a nearly killed chandel, and, yeah, murder the five-year-old.
40:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Consider everything, but that.
40:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm sure Jeffrey Domer was a delightful toddler.
40:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if we're going to stretch it that far,
40:43
[SPEAKER_00]: One of his attorneys, Karum Wadid, actually had the audacity to say, a life that still punishes Harold Bradie for taking away the promise that was once Quattitia makeup, a life behind bars, a life that would be very tough on a man with a failing body.
40:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Prison was a good enough sentence because he was old now and had medical issues?
41:04
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the argument.
41:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Forgive me if I'm not sympathetic to his medical issues.
41:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure what he put quotation may cock through was tough on her little body.
41:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe just maybe the state of Florida should have carried out his execution warrant sooner.
41:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, put him in his failing body out of misery.
41:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying it could have saved us a little money and a lot of heartache.
41:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, the jury must have felt bad for Bratty, sitting there in his little armsling, looking like a ball-headed gutterslug, because just last week, after three hours of deliberation, he was resentance to life in prison.
41:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Hearing that news, Bratty hugged his attorneys and smiled as the jury walked out of the courtroom.
41:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He had finally succeeded in playing the system.
41:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandelle Maycock has to live her life every day without her daughter, and with the emotional anguish of having lost her in such a horrific and brutal attack.
42:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But in Mate 406356 gets to live out his pathetic life off-death row, and a cell with three meals a day in medical care.
42:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, at least he's getting too old to escape, or at least we hope so.
42:14
[SPEAKER_00]: His wife, Cateria, remains married to him and has apparently supported him over the years.
42:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people are just slow learners.
42:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't know what else to say, so I'll just leave it at that.
42:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Quattisha Candy Makehawk was born on May 11, 1993.
42:33
[SPEAKER_00]: She got the nickname of Candy from her mom's shandell because she was sweet like candy.
42:38
[SPEAKER_00]: She loves singing in the church choir and writing her name.
42:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Quattisha had deep brown eyes and the most perfect dimples when she smiled.
42:46
[SPEAKER_00]: She was five years old and had just started kindergarten.
42:49
[SPEAKER_00]: She was deeply loved by her mother, all of her classmates, and her kindergarten teacher
42:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Before we go today, I would like to note that in 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSanta signed a new law that allows juries to recommend a death sentence within eight to four vote.
43:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The Governor pushed for this change after the Parkland School Shooter who killed 17 students and faculty at Marjorie Stomendouglas was spared from the death penalty in 2022.
43:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The Supreme Court has not yet challenged the new law.
43:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And that, my friends, is all I've got for this week.
43:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Be sure to join me next Thursday for an all-new episode.

43:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening.
43:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for caring.
43:57
[SPEAKER_00]: If you know something, say something.
43:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And until next
44:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I swear this case has me so fired up that I'm literally losing my voice, but we're not closing out today without, we're not closing out today without talking.
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: If there was ever a case for the death penalty, I think this one would be it.
44:58
[SPEAKER_00]: He was so clearly a danger to society and regardless of his so-called fragile medical state, if this son of a bitch was released on the street, he'd still be a danger to society.
45:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not super impressed that he can mind his piece and cues behind bars, if that's even true.
45:15
[SPEAKER_00]: If it is, he can behave in a cage.
45:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that supposed to be impressive because I'm not impressed?
45:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And having been to the Everglades on multiple occasions, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that Shandell and Quattitia suffered.
45:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The mosquitoes alone are a problem, and I know that sounds ridiculous if you've never been there, but ask anyone who has.
45:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Shandell had bites covering her body, I can't even imagine.
45:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And little quotisha, if her story doesn't break your heart, you need your heart checked.
45:49
[SPEAKER_00]: The fear she must have felt in those final moments, alone with him, after watching him attack her mom, her mom who was her whole world.
45:58
[SPEAKER_00]: The fear she must have felt after being left there.
46:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a horrific story when the only thing you can hope for is that she was unconscious after he threw her near the canal.
46:07
[SPEAKER_00]: This young motherhood practically no family support was busting her ass to make a life for her and her daughter, and this monster posting as a helpful hand, knowing she needed the help, pretending to be some man of God.
46:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all just evil.
46:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And then after her daughter was murdered, Shandelle still didn't have much support.
46:27
[SPEAKER_00]: She walked into that courtroom to testify against her attacker and the murderer of her child with an advocate from the court.
46:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But she did it.
46:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The amount of strength that must have taken.
46:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's heroic.
46:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And for the defense to even try to put any of the blame on her, after she had to make a choice to risk her life in the life of her daughter to try and escape from their client, you've really got to be joking right now because you honestly can't be serious.
46:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And then after all of that, to finally a felt like justice was served for her little girl, and then to have that little small ounce of peace in her heart ripped out, and the rug pulled out from under her like that, that's sharing justice if you ask me, my heart breaks for her.
47:11
[SPEAKER_00]: The jury sentenced him with the law on the books at the time, and that sentence should have stood.
47:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He should have been executed.
47:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Hell, he should have been executed the day after his appeals were exhausted.
47:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that very next day, don't pass go, don't collect $200.
47:27
[SPEAKER_00]: straight to the execution chamber.
47:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's just how I feel about it.
47:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And I always feel like after time has passed, juries are a little more lenient.
47:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's an old shrivel up little man, not the six foot, 200 pound monster he was when he did what he did.
47:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they felt bad, but I don't, nothing changed.
47:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not more sympathetic because he's old and having medical issues.
47:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still a monster.
47:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a monster with medical issues, but what does that change?
47:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't change a thing.
47:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a monster then, and he's a monster now, and he should still be on death row.
48:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's about all I got to say about that.
48:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Y'all know I love you more than my luggage, and I can't wait to talk at you next week, but until then, bye-bye-bye!
