  Speaker 1: desperate escape from a violent past. For the details, let's

  Speaker 1: head out to our Ana Garcia.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Chris.
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: Nicole Ledger lived in fear every minute of every day
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: as long as her ex fiance was out of jail,
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: and sadly, that fear became a tragic reality Beauty and
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: the Beast. When Nicole Ledger met the monster, it was
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: a recipe for murder. Literally, he was going to kill me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Our FULLI Lady's going to kill me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: Nicole's story will send chills down your spine. She was stalked,
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: held hostage, and sexually assaulted by the very person who
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: once proclaimed he passionately loved her. Nicole was a gorgeous
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: thirty four year old single mom from the Dallas area.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: She made friends easily. Just ask her best friends Mike
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Autrey and Holly Wheeler.
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: What drew me to Nicole was just that she was.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Always so.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Big.
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: She I don't know how else to describe it. She
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: was so big. She was very independent. I love that
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: most about her. I think I just kind of always
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: looked up to her in that aspect.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: Over time, hell, she became one of my closest friend
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: as I was.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Hers life dealt Nicole a tough hand. She was only
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: seventeen when she got pregnant with her son, Trey.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: My mouf was amazing, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: She played both the mom and the dad since she
• 3:14
  Speaker 10: was a single parent.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: A single parent who did what was necessary to survive,
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: dancing in clubs, working for a stockbroker. Nicole had just
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: been accepted to nursing school. Finally, her future seemed bright
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: until the dark day she met Michael Adams.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: What was your first impression?
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Weird?
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: He dyed his hair jet black, I guess just because
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: he was going through a mid life crisis.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Adams was a ripo man and quickly stole her heart.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Was your mom in love with him?
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: She was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: She always talked about how he treated her like no
• 3:54
  Speaker 10: one else did, how he treated her on such a
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: pedestal that she felt, I don't know, like a queen.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: She never denied the fact that he treated her really well.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: What kind of nice things would he do for her.
• 4:07
  Speaker 10: Just small surprises like a vasive flowers here and there,
• 4:13
  Speaker 10: you know, small I Love you notes, like sticky notes
• 4:17
  Speaker 10: in her jacket, just the little things.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: Really, Adams seemed to be a real catch. Look at
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: the red brick mini mansion he owned in the upscale
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Dallas suburb of Frisco. But Trey says there was one
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: big problem.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: He was incredibly ocd.
• 4:34
  Speaker 10: I mean not any Nothing was out of place in
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: his house. Everything was in a certain point. It never moved.
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: He had a pool table upstairs and he literally never
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: played on it since he bought it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Adams was so obsessive he even lined up the labels
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: on a soda pop. When Nicole and Trey moved in,
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: they quickly learned not to violate the one unbreakable rule.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: No on the couch.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: He had a couch.
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: It was a crescent moon couch about three quarters He
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: absolutely refused to sit on it and didn't want us
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: sitting on it either or else we would get it dirty.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: So where did everyone sit?
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: He had one love seat on the outside of the
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: couch and then just a regular chair on the other side.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: The house was decorated like what you'd see in a
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: glossy real estate brochure, but the closet could have been
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: the cover story for a gun magazine, right above his
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: neatly pressed t shirts sorted by color, handgun cases sorted
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: by caliber. Did things change in their relationship when you
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: two moved in?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Definitely?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: How.
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: I can specifically remember one night we had had.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Spaghetti spaghetti, Nicole's favorite food. Trey says, that night Adams
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: dished out grief with the ground beef.
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: I guess either myself or my mom had spilt a
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: droplet of the sauce on his tile, and when I
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: microwaved my bowl, the sauce said, you know, gotten over.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I didn't put a napkin over it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: The sauce spilled over the bowl in the microwaves, hopping.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Like when it would overheat.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: That was about a week long argument between them, because
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: that's how ocd he was.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: They fought a lot.
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: He would be yelling, swearing, saying, you know, why, why
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: didn't you clean it up? Why didn't you, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: be more careful. I guess they thought about it for
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: a long time.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: They thought about the spaghetti sauce. One stain on the
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: tile and then a little sauce in the microwave.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: They thought about this for a.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Week yep, seven days, but as.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: You're about to learn, spaghetti would be the string that
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: would unravel their relationship in more ways than one. Trey says,
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: after less than two months, Nicole had enough and moved out.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: But then Adams asked her to marry him.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: She was excited, she was all giddy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: He came over and a black T shirt, black pants,
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: you know, dressed out. They went out to dinner and
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: then she went back to his house and that's where
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: he did the proposal.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: And so Nicole and Tray moved back to the Big
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: House in Frisco until the next fight, and Trey says,
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: this one was the mother of all fights.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: He had very aggressively ripped off the ring from her
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: ring finger.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I want to say he fractured it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: She had to go to the doctor's office and get
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: splint for it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Is she done with.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: Him at this point, yeah, definitely.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: So you move out for the second time and the
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: engagement is off, yes, Tray says. After they moved into
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: an apartment, strange things were happening.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: It started with a chiwala we had.
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: Her name was Penelope, and we come home one day
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: and someone had left the front door open. We didn't
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: call maintenance that day. We always locked them or and
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: Mike had a key.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: We suspected that he let her out. Two days later
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: we actually found her. She got ran over.
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: After that, I was in school and I come home
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: and my mom came home before me, and she actually
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: texted me when I was in school saying somebody had
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: came in and poured bleach all over our clothes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: So what did your mom think?
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure she suspected Mike.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Then what happened?
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: She recalls looking out past the building because our cars
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: parked around the corner, and she sees like a kind
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: of a red glow, and so she goes and looks
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: at it, and sure enough, it's our car that was
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: lit on fire.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Did your mom think it was Mike?
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: She did, Pray, says his mom had no choice but
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: to ask Adams for help buying a new car, so
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Mike came.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: To the rescue.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: They co signed on a car, and it was It
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: was a nice car. It was brand new at the time.
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: She had been driving it for a while and she
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: kept wanting to get the full lease from him, to
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: have him take off his name.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Nicole went to Adam's house to have him sign over
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the car title and get her belongings. He whipped up spaghetti,
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: a sort of peace offering. Nicole couldn't refuse a hot
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: plate apasta. Maybe she should have next terror in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: tomato sauce.
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: Share a few bites, the room starts spinning.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: In her own words, the drugging.
• 9:34
  Speaker 12: And ali and tie my feet are tied to my
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: ankles behind me.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: The brutal sexual assault.
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: Walksome into the bedroom and takes off on my clothes
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: and then plows a a.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: We're back now with a story of a textas mom

• 10:07
  Speaker 7: up her stuff. It was lunchtime, so they ate spaghetti.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: But this was no typical Marinera recipe. Cop say, Michael
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Adams put a special ingredient in the sauce, a knockout drug.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: Shave a few bites, and want to get my stuff
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: in A.

  Speaker 4: Room starts spinning.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: That's Nicole's dramatic audio statement to Frisco, Texas Police detective
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: Scot Rear.
• 10:34
  Speaker 12: Really hit me and then start hit me even faster
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: and faster.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: What Nicole says happened next will shock you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: Welcome into the bedroom and takes off on my clothes
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: and then close out a a really large and I'm
• 10:59
  Speaker 11: saying no, but I can't do anything.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: You can't rem my arms in my legs.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Nicole says Adams began to brutally assault her with a
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: sex toy.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: We never he has.
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: Toys like that her own, and and he bends me
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: over it, puts it, puts it in Stitt's taking a
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: bunch of pictures, and.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I was out. I was passed up.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: You ever taking pictures before or.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: But never like not with that. And we've never never
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: played with any toys at all.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: So what's the next thing that you remember?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Waking up? Being tied my hands behind my.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Back, hog tied with rope, her mouth gagged with duct tape.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: But a ton of duct tapes. They called way from
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: here to here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 12: She's a rash around me. And the next thing I remember,
• 11:52
  Speaker 12: I'm banging on his neighbor's door.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I know you untied me.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Nicole managed to get away from her captors. She told
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: police that she ran out of the house naked and
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: screaming for help, but he caught her and dragged her
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: back for yet more torture. Nicole said Adams dragged her
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: into the garage, but being the obsessive, neat freaky was,
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Adams first threw her on top of a tarp, cuffed
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: her hands and zip tied her ankles. Then he cut
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: off her hair and cut off on.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: My hair too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: Now he tried to pull it out, un he just
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: tuck it out.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: How would Nicole escape from the demon she once thought
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: was her angel? She tried wiggling out of the restraints.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It tak me a while to I untied myself.
• 12:44
  Speaker 12: I just kept playing with it and finally it came undone.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: But she couldn't slip out of the handcuffs. Nicole realized
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: the only way out, the only way to save her life,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: was talking nice.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: What were you saying nice time?
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: What are you playing on to me?
• 13:00
  Speaker 12: I'm like, are you going to kill me? He's like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: I don't know what I'm doing yet. I'm like, you
• 13:04
  Speaker 12: just need to calm down. You just overreacted. You know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 12: we need to go to therapy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: We can work through.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: It all, Nicole promised Adams. She wouldn't press charges if
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: he let her go, but there was no way she
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: could keep that promise.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Did you want to file charges on him?
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Absolutely? I want to bury him. Okay, absolutely, I want
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: to He's gonna kill me. I fully avoid. He's gonna
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: kill me. He cannot control his anger. How long is
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: he going to take me? I still get.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Him, Still gotta dig through a few things.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Are you serious right now? Can end up killing me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: Cops quickly got a search warrant, and in Adam's spotless
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: white Lexus they found the evidence, the sex toy, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: rope and zip ties and duct tape with her hair
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: all over it, and the spaghetti and the jar of sauce.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: The poison spaghetti was still in the back of the car.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: He had taken all the stuff from what he had
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: done the day previous, and he was going to get
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: rid of it, but he got arrested before he could
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: do that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Adams was busted, pleading not guilty to charges of sexual
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: assault and aggravated kidnapping.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give this team.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: And if you would just swam it on the side
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: of your cheek, we'll put it in the box and
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: then see it up. That'll be it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: This police video shows detectives taking a DNA swab from Adams.
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: Despite the severity of the charges they could mean life
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: in prison, Adams made bail. Nicole was petrified he would
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: track her down and kill her, so they moved to
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: another town in another county. It would be the last
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: move they would ever make. Next an obsession turns into terror.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: It sounds diabolical.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: I would agree, and the.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: Police detective who took protect and serve to a whole
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: new level. No.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Back to the tragic story of Nicole Ledger.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Here's integarchia, Chris.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: What happened inside this house was horrific. Police say. Nicole
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: Ledger was fed poisoned food, She was bound, gagged, her
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: hair was cut off, and then sexually assaulted by a
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: man she once called her fiance.
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: I can't I move my arms to did you start
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: staking my clothes off?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Nicole Ledger was naked and scared to death.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: He's getting killed me.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: Nicole was terrorized by her ex fiance, Michael Adams, a
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: monster who put a knockout drug in her spaghetti sauce.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: You told me later, didn't you put something in the food?
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: He said? It was regular Over the counter sleeping pills.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: But there's no way that that could have done that,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: and I was out. I was out for a long time.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Prosecutors say the attack was revenge for Nicole breaking up
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: with Adams.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: It makes you wonder if, well he was going to
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: kill her then but decided not to.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Is that what you think?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, that night, Nicole's son, Trey says he got a text,
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: presumably from his mom. It said she wasn't coming home
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: and she was spending the night at a friend's house.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: So did she actually write that text or did he?
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: He did liked it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: So Mike pretends to be your mom and sends you
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: a text telling you all, Mom's not coming home.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, I'm at a friend's house.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Nicole wasn't at a friend's house. She was at
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: a house of horrors and barely made it out alive,
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: singing hits what it is. Nicole's friend, Holly Wheeler is emotionalless.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: She looks at the pictures of Nicole in the hospital
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: for the first time. She was battered and bruised, her
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: feet and ankles savagely cut from the sharp zip ties
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: digging into her flesh.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Then somebody went through this.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: And such a it's horrible. Holly says she gave Nicole
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: advice on how to vanish from her violent ex fiance.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: My last conversation with her was when she was asking
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: for advice on how to.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Kind of get away.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: She called me at my office and started to talk
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: because I had been through a kind of similar situation,
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: you know, bad relationship, kind of crazy stalker, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: beating kind of deal, and I had been through that,
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: so she I knew how to I got away and
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: kind of got off the radar for a little bit,
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: and so she called to ask, you know, some advice
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: on how to handle it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Nicole was so afraid for her life that she moved
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: here to Melissa, Texas with her teen son, and she
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: rented a home and set up utilities under a friend's
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: name because she was so afraid her ex would find her.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: But Adams found her an obvious violation of the court's
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: protective order. So now he's like the crazy man you
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: cannot get away from, right, So you guys thought you
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: were free, but that wasn't true. No, prosecutors say. Adams,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: now charged with sexual assault and kidnapping, left a godfather
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: like message on the doorstep of her new house, a
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: tarp and handcuffs, the same ones he used when he
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: kidnapped her.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Was at a signal well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: The theory was that the defendant had put those things
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: there as a threat to Nicole regarding what had happened
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: in the past, and he did not want her to testify,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: so it was a threat.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: It also said to them, I found you exactly. So
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: how did Adams find Nicole? Remember he was a repo man,
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: an expert in finding cars. Cops say he secretly put
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: a GPS device on Nichole's car and used his work
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: computer to track her every move.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Was he obsessed with Nicole? I would say that he was.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: He had, for example, the photograph of her framed on
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: his bedstand, of her topless, That's just so strange and
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: so obsessive in my view, in offensive.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: But then Nicole had become the love interest of another man,
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: a man who swore to protect and serve. The detective
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: you heard interviewing Nicole hours after the brutal sex assault,
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: Scott Greer. Nicole sent Greer pictures more sizzling than a
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: Texas parking lot in August, sexy selfies topless in the bathtub.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: They began exchanging emails, what are you wearing? I'll rent
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: us a room and we won't leave it. Most are
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: so sexually charged we can't repeat them on national television.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: Nicole wasn't the only crime victim Greer was involved with.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: After an investigation showing he had inappropriate relationships with four women,
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Greer resigned from the force. We contacted him for a comment,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: but he never returned our calls.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: It makes me wonder if.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: If he had been focused on actually helping her and
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: focused on keeping her safe and not focused on getting
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: pictures of whatever, then maybe maybe we'd be in a
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: different place now.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: But it was becoming more clear maybe no one could
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: protect Nicole at this point, and she was clearly aware
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: it could be only a matter of time until the
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: animal attacked again. She texted her son, and this time
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: it really was her texting him. Stay inside, she said,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: if Mike comes over, call nine one one. But the
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: call Trey ended up making to nine one one was
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: one he never thought he'd have to make.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Next, he cornered Nicole back in the bedroom of her home.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Nicole comes face to face again with her crazy X,
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: but this time will she escape?
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: No son should have to see that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: How in the world can a man who poisoned, kidnapped,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and sexually assaulted a woman be let out of jail
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: before he stands trial. It's the mind numbing question that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Nicole Ledger was asking after her ex fiancee, who she
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: says brutally attacked her, was let loose after posting bail.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Here's Ana Garcia.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Nicole Ledgered, a man who lived twenty two miles away.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: He's going to kill me our fully, the lady's going
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: to kill me.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: A man on the loose with a criminal mind, a
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: dark heart, and a violent temper. Michael Adams, her ex
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: fiance Nicole, and her son Trey, worried Adams would track
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: her down and kill her.
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: She looked at me and she said, you know, Trey,
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: he's gonna find us and he's gonna kill me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Their worst fears were about to come true.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: I had gone to school that morning. Before I left,
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: you know, I gave her the good old you know love.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: You see when I get back, kiss on the forehead.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: That would be the final kiss. When Trey came back home,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: the smell of death was in the air.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Everything seemed out of place. Something seemed right.
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: I go over to her bedroom door and I knock
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: on it, you know, wake up, I'm home, And no,
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: I didn't hear anything. So I peek under the door
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: to see if I can see her, and I see
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: her foot hanging off, and I think she's just asleep still,
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: so I knock a little bit louder, you know, wake up,
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: I'm here. And the door was locked, so I couldn't
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: open it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: So I go into.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: The kitchen and I grab a ball point pen and
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: take it apart, and I used the ink cartridge to
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: kind of pick the lock. So at this point I'm
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: decently scared, and I finally shoulder it open, and she's
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: laying on the bed. She had her underwear down on
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: one ankle, she had her shirt lifted up over her chest.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: She had been shot in the head.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: No son should have to see that, Yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: So I run out to the front, closed the door,
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: closed the front door behind me, and called nine one one, okay.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Way.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: Nicole was shot twice in the face. She died instantly.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: Why why did he have to take her away?
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Nicole's friend, Holly Wheeler, was at work when she got
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: the phone call that Nicole had been shot.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: To death. I started crying.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: We were all kind of pretty close at the office,
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: we were, you know, so it kind of kind of
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: hit us all pretty hard.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: But was it Adams or someone else?
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: You knew who did it?
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: It was Mike, but Adams claimed he had an alibi.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: These images from a surveillance camera show him shopping at
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: home depot around the time of the murder, and at
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: the crime scene, cops found two used condoms from two
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: different men. So who killed Nicole? It took nearly six
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: months for cops to finally find their killer, Mike Adams,
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: and another three for an indictment on a capital murder charge.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: What took so long?
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: It takes a while for all the evidence to be
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: collected and tested and ultimately his DNA was found on
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: an item at the scene.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: That item one of those used condoms, But adams DNA
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: wasn't on the inside, it was on the outside.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: How did he leave the DNA well?
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: His DNA was found at the crime scene and it
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: was epithelial or skin cell DNA. It was on a
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: condom that was close to the top of the garbage
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: in the master bath. It could be that he was
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: washing her blood off of his hands, and he picked
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: up that item and put it in the trash, not
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: thinking that he would actually leave behind DNA that could
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: be linked to him.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Later, investigators believe Adams was so obsessed with cleanliness he
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: picked up the condoms and threw them in the bathroom trash,
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: a move that got him arrested.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: It was the furthest thing from his mind that he
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: left DNA at the crime scene.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: There was other damning evidence presented in the murder trial,
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: and adam storage locker cops found a virtual arsenal. Ballistics
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: tests showed one of those guns fired the bullets that
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: killed Nicole. Described me what it was like seeing him
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: in court?
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Nerve wrecking.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: How did you feel terrified?
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: I made eye contact with him briefly and never again.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Prosecutor said the motive was to prevent Nicole from testifying
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: against him in the rape and kidnapping case. The first
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: witness up was Detective Scott Greer, the man who sexted
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: with Nicole while he was investigating her case. Adam's defense
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: attorneys tried to poke holes in his testimony. Were you
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: afraid at that moment when his credibility was called into
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: question that your case was in trouble.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: No, there was so much other good, corroborating evidence.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: Evidence from the star witness, Nicole herself, a voice from
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: the grave.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: He's going to kill me. Our fully, the lady's going
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: to kill me.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: That was enough to convince the jury. After less than
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: two hours, they returned with a verdict guilty of capital murder,
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: the sentence automatic life without the possibility of parole.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Why do you think Mike killed your mother?
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: He was rich and he was successful, and she was
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: the first person that ever.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Said no, what do you want to see happen to Mike.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: I've seen cases where prisoners were murder or someone over
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: that you know, killed them in their cell. I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: want that to happen to him. I want him to
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: sit in prison for the rest of his life.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: And now this young man has to face the rest
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: of his life without the mom who sacrificed everything, even
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: her own life.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: For him. Is there anything you do to honor your mom?
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: Spaghetti every year on her birthday? I always have just
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: regular spaghetti with meat, sauce and ground beef.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Just that kind of commemorator.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: When are the times that you miss her the most?
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: When I need advice?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You mean like when you need your mom.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Adams is asking for a new trial, saying all
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of the evidence gathered from his trunk, including the drug
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: spaghetti sauce, was obtained illegally. So far that request has
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: not been granted, and when you look at the evidence,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: To believe it ever would or should be.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Coming up.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: He was the go to dot for botox injections until
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: his patients started getting suspicious.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: It certainly wasn't botox, or it wasn't dice boorder. Certainly,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell it was.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: The undercover investigation targeting an alleged cosmetic combat Is he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: really a doctor? What we uncovered about his past with
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a long rap sheet?
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: What do you think needs to happen?
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: He should be in prison.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: That's next. More than six million botox injections were performed
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: last year, making it the most common cosmetic procedure in
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the country. But what if you found out the doctor
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: who put that needle in you wasn't a doctor at all. Instead,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he was a convicted felon. We're teaming up with our
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: affiliate in Phoenix, ABC fifteen for a shocking undercover investigation
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: about a guy known as doctor Craig. Here's reporter Dave Biscobag.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: The guy in the white lab coat calls himself doctor Craig,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and he runs a cosmetic clinic in Tempe, Arizona, selling
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: youth and making injections. The only problem is he's no doctor.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: He stuck neils in you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: He focused in on this side here, and that's when
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: my face was.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Just Greig Shurf is actually a convicted felon, and he
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a state license to perform the medical and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: cosmetic services he advertises.
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: I remember looking at all those letters below, going wow,
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: he should have had bs behind all these letters.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: In an exclusive ABC fifteen investigation, I went after the
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: alleged boatox bamboozler at his offices. We're done with this conversation.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: We're not done confronting him about his alleged shady business practices.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: We run a legitimate place here, that's it. The door
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: of the medspot says my laser center. But the reported
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: doctor impostor has a long list of other names for
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: his business.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: I've been doing reconstart service for a.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: While hour well, that is until two producers with hidden
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: cameras and microphones investigated the alleged cosmetic con man.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: You re huh.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: The medical clinic builds itself as a one stop shopping hub,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: offering a variety of cosmetic procedures like boat tattoo removal
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and human growth hormone. At first, it all looks legit.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I want to clean the room, okay.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: The producer says she's interested in getting boatox, and sheriff
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: seems ready to inject her on the spot.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: I'm on heavy this person.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Everything right here. I have a question.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: After hearing his pitch, Courtney tells the man who calls
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: himself Doctor Craig she wants to think about it, but
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: the smooth wannabe doc won't take no for an answer.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I had a couple of girls that they're coming back
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: for like the third or fourth time.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: If you want to sit in and watch them.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: They have no problem with people watching because I've done
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it before.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: It's unusual offers like this that caused people to turn
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: to ABC fifteen for help. This person who asked us
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: to obscure their identity met Surf professionally and said he
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: seemed suspicious.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: What if he's freezing needles start to be really dangerous?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Dangerous and it appears the guy is raking it in
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: check out his deals on group on. He sold hundreds
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of coupons recently for expensive injectables like botox and disport.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: He makes up a lot of things.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Doctor Craig is no stranger to the law and to
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: playing doctor. Police detective Lily Durand was part of a
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: twenty eleven sting operation leading to Shirk's arrest after he
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: set up a medical marijuana dispensary.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: He wore a lab coat he wanted people to believe
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: that he was a doctor.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Shurf was charged with possession and sale of marijuana. He
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: pleaded guilty to a pair of felony charges, but was
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: only sentenced to serve two years of probation and pay
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: thousands of dollars in restitution. But you gotta hand it
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: to the guy, he's ambitious. In addition to running the medspot,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: he appears to run two coffee shops and a meat market.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But perhaps the biggest shocker is that in the early
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: nineties he worked as a cop and was canned after
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: just two years.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: You know, our investigation showed that he was lying about
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: a lot of things.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Now, more alleged victims of Shirt's reported cosmetic scam are
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: coming forward with their whole stories. Is this the guy?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, Client Mario Dela Cassa went in for injections,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: but he came out bruised the side of his face swollen.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It certainly wasn't botox, or it wasn't dice boider. Certainly,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell it was. Mario sent
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: pictures of his face to Shurf and this is the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: email he got back. I've never seen anything like that.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: He said.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: When you go home, put a vacuum cleaner thing on
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: your face as well, actual vacuum cleaner, and suck on
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: your and your skin, pull on your skin because that's
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: going to create circulation.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: To put a vacuum vacuum cleaner on my face. Sharon
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Kirby went to doctor Craig for what she thought would
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: be rejuvenating jabs.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I think it was here, here, here, and then by
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: my eyes, so eight places.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Looking back, she remembers, the reported fake physician boasted about
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: his credentials, saying that he was a doctor in Afghanistan,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: a Navy seal and studied Eastern medicine.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: There was bruises, there was bleeding.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: To me, that's he assaulted me.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: What do you think needs to happen?
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, he should be in prison.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Our undercover visit. I called the office only to be
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: told doctor Craig is out of town. You're not telling
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: me the truth. We know he's in today, so we're
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: gonna come to see him in about fifteen minutes. We're
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be walking in his door in about fifteen minutes,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: gonna let him know. We see him slinking out the building.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: We try to catch him, but he gives us the slip.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: You dail better.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: What's going up?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Sprinting up the stairs. We turn a corner. There he
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: is doctor Craig. I think this thing an eighty has
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a pull out of other quote. It's not doctor Craig.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Is Craig.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I heard you write doctor Craig on people's business parts.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: What did you've hitting, doctor Craig on people's business parts.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what people call me because I'm a laser
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: tech and that's what I do doing botox.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: No, I'm not.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: We have undercover video of you doing botox.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Where are you getting it from? I'm not getting it
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: from anywhere.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you're giving it to.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: People when we confront him on his non existent medical license.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: More lies pour out of his mouth.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: I hear laser procedures.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: You license you laser? Yeah, not Arizonia or not?
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been licensed. They licensed the machines, and our
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: machines are licensed. You need to be licensed to do it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: We are come showing me your license.
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: We don't care.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: The license are on state with the states.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: They're not.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I checked your name. Here's proof from the state board.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Have a nice day.
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, Doc.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: We got talked about this. I'm not treating people. I'm
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: not stuff you're not allowed to be doing. No, it's dangerous.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I have natural paths that do it, and I have
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: other doctors that come in.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: We run a legitimate place here. That's it. Playing simple
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: jaman as your medical marijuana club.
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: We don't have a marijuana club.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You ran when you got busted for doing it, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: you're wrong. You're Unfortunately for the fake doc. This is
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: the detective who busted him. He had arrested, right.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did get arrested.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, look this is you, frank shirt. You played nice,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: you played guilty. Come on. Since our investigation started, a
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: lot has changed. Seventeen alleged victims have come forward and
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the state Attorney General's office is now investigating. So far,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: no charges have been final to the game Surf yet,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: But as for his clinic, it's been shut down. A
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: sign on the door says, in part, the staff of
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Miami Clinic has decided to close our doors for good.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Let's hope that's the case and if not, well, doctor
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Craig can expect to see us again.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: And coming up next, Doctor Oz weighs in on the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: so called doctor Craig investigation. He's got a warning for
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: anyone thinking about getting botox.
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: If I inject botox to the wrong place, that can
• 36:27
  Speaker 13: blind you, I can paralyze you. I can leave you
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: this figure for life.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That's next. This is undercover video of a man known
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: as doctor Craig allegedly offering treatments like botox and an
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Arizona medical clinic. Problem is he isn't licensed and he
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: isn't a doctor, rather a convicted felon. Now to talk
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: more about the doctor Craig story, is a real doctor
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: mehmet Oz, thank you so much for letting us crash
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: your office. What do people need to know when they
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: go on to get botox people to find deals, but
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: that's dangerous sometimes.
• 37:02
  Speaker 13: But first of all, it's a third the price of
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: anything you've ever seen in your life. Be aware of
• 37:05
  Speaker 13: the fact that you get what you pay for. You know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 13: a little bit of price discrepancy is okay, but the
• 37:09
  Speaker 13: bigger issues. There are ways for people to check whether
• 37:11
  Speaker 13: a doctor is legitimately a doctor. State medical boards exist.
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: You can literally go online see this is a person
• 37:16
  Speaker 13: really have a board certification? Are they convicted felon? And
• 37:18
  Speaker 13: they'd lose their license. A lot of times people are
• 37:21
  Speaker 13: doing procedures like botoxes are so easy to do. They
• 37:23
  Speaker 13: can go to that technique from any background. If I'm
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: a psychiatrist, what do I know about botox? So don't
• 37:29
  Speaker 13: check to make sure that things fit.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: What's the danger here? If you get the improper dosing.
• 37:34
  Speaker 13: When I put a needle under your skin, I can
• 37:35
  Speaker 13: do devastating damage. If I inject botox in the wrong place,
• 37:38
  Speaker 13: I can blind you, I can paralyze you, I can
• 37:40
  Speaker 13: read you disfigured for life. I can affect you and
• 37:43
  Speaker 13: scar you ways that are unimaginable.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Why would I pay for that?
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Doctor Craig is a convicted film operating an unregulated.
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: Medicals huge danger.
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: It's a big blemish I think on the entire profession
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: of medicine that these medical spas or are unregulated. Some
• 37:57
  Speaker 13: of them refined with real doctors doing great work. Many
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: of them are filled with people who can't get jobs elsewhere,
• 38:04
  Speaker 13: and so they sort of back their way into a
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: position oftentimes unregulated, yes, but also unlicensed. So it's not
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: like they bent through all a little. But they literally
• 38:11
  Speaker 13: have no right to do these things. And remember, if
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: I take a needle and put it beneath your skin
• 38:16
  Speaker 13: without a license.
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: That's called the salt and battery.
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: I'm not allowed to do that. There's a special covenant
• 38:20
  Speaker 13: that physicians have with society that allow us to do
• 38:23
  Speaker 13: these things because ideally we're trained and qualified to do it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: We see botox parties on shows like The Real Housewives.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Do you think sometimes we're too casual about these treatments?
• 38:32
  Speaker 13: Chris is a beautiful question because it hits everything perfectly
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: out in the broad daylight. We are trivializing the use
• 38:39
  Speaker 13: of very dangerous medications, medications which, when used correctly, it
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: can be used safely in large numbers of people. But
• 38:45
  Speaker 13: that's why you need a medical license to prescribe and
• 38:47
  Speaker 13: apply these products. They're not designed to be used by
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: hacks who happen to find an easy way of making
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: all extra money.
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: How pervasive is this problem.
• 38:56
  Speaker 13: It's much more pervasive than we think because it's completely unregulated.
• 38:58
  Speaker 13: We're now seeing these events take place in gas stations
• 39:01
  Speaker 13: and wear gas stations, mall's parking lots, where women, because
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: they want to look different than they look right now,
• 39:09
  Speaker 13: are willing to let people do things to them. Probably
• 39:12
  Speaker 13: somewhere in the back of their mind is a realization
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: that there's a danger there. Please, let's use your shows
• 39:16
  Speaker 13: and as an opportunity to broadcast it widely. Be aware,
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: warm people, and guess what. You catch someone doing this
• 39:21
  Speaker 13: kind of stuff, call somebody and get some allies in there,
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: like law enforcement, because they'll shut these guys down like that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: How quickly are these spas or clinics popping up?
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: Do you ever play the game of whack a mole?
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: It's like whack a mole.
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: The problem with these spas is just so easy to
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: open one that as fast as law enforcement in great
• 39:38
  Speaker 13: shows like yours can identify these terrible folks and knock
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: them down, they come back up again. When you go
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: into a medical clinic, ask a couple basic questions, make
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: sure they've got a medical license, have them show it
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: to you and double check that it's true afterwards. And
• 39:49
  Speaker 13: always always try to stall tiny bit to understand is
• 39:53
  Speaker 13: that's what's going on around you because your instinct, so
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: you should be.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: On target, Doctor Oz, thank you very much. We'll be
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: right back in a moment.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Everyone as
