S03E26: Bound by Blood: Kenneth and Kari Allen: täielik transkriptsioon

that two lived in Section eight housing in a 35 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.000 low income area in Noblesville. People often thought their relationship 36 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.719 was too close and that Carrie relied too much on 37 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.719 her mom. Sharon treated Carrie like an infant or a toddler, 38 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.439 even into her older school years. Carrie grew up a 39 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.199 very insecure with no self esteem and was often bullied 40 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.759 in school. Sharon went to the school to try to 41 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.360 resolve the bullying issues, but this did not help her. 42 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.159 As an adult, Ken got married and spent time as 43 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.879 a marine for a while. He had gotten into trouble 44 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.759 with the laws several times, including charges for battery, counterfeiting, forgery, 45 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.120 and theft. He developed a severe gambling addiction, spending his 46 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.639 paychecks as soon as he got them. He would then 47 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.199 go to Indiana to beg his grandparents, Betty and Leander, 48 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.039 to give him more money to survive on since he 49 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.639 had spent his entire check, but he would spend that 50 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.840 money on gambling as well. Though He had crippling debt 51 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.520 from gambling, which caused him to resort to illegal means 52 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.400 to obtain money, such as stealing credit cards. He fled 53 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.199 Florida to go to Arizona, where he was apprehended for 54 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.240 counterfeitting and sentenced to twenty months in prison. He spent 55 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.159 his prison sentence in Kentucky. While in prison, Ken's wife 56 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.919 divorced him, and his grandparents decided to officially cut him 57 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.599 off financially. He had been receiving money from them while 58 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.800 in prison, but it was never enough for him and 59 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.560 he would constantly ask for more. So Betty and Leander 60 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.879 grew tired of this. They wanted to spend the rest 61 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.159 of their lives living comfortably, and they wouldn't be able 62 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.000 to do so if Ken kept taking all of their 63 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.639 money and wasting it. After doing just fourteen months of 64 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.800 his sentence in prison, Ken was released on November fifteenth, 65 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.840 two thousand and four. Ken was twenty nine years old 66 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.960 at this time, and after being released, he returned home 67 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.080 to his mom and sister in Indiana. During the time 68 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.960 that he spent in prison, he had been making phone 69 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.719 calls to them to tell them he had a plan 70 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.680 for them to have a better life when he got 71 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.759 out of prison, but he said he couldn't discuss the 72 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.560 details while in prison over the phone, and that he 73 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.599 would talk to them about his plan when he got out. 74 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.639 At the time of his release, he was obviously in 75 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.240 a bad state. He had no money, he was divorced, 76 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.159 and had completely cut ties with his grandfather Leander at 77 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.240 this point, but he needed a way to get his 78 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.439 life back on track. He moved into the two bedroom 79 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.759 Section eight apartment that Sharon and Carrie shared. He finally 80 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.840 shares his plan for a better life with his sister Carrie. 81 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.360 His plan was to kill their grandparents, Betty and Leander, 82 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.080 so he could have the money they worked hard for 83 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.439 their entire lives. They had a two hundred thousand dollars 84 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.600 nest egg sitting in their bank, and he wanted the 85 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.759 help of his mother and sisted to carry out his 86 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.160 plan of killing them and taking the money. Being only 87 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.360 eighteen years old, having lived the shouter difficult life, and 88 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.399 wanting to please her older brother, Carrie agreed to help him. 89 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.480 On December thirtieth, two thousand and four, Ken finally decided 90 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.199 to approach his mother, Sharon about his plans to kill 91 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.720 Betty and Leander. Ken suggusted to Sharon that they could 92 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.879 start a better life together if they all just killed 93 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.399 her parents his grandparents. Sharon was disgusted by this plan 94 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.720 and was absolutely not going to help kill her parents. 95 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.600 Later throughout the evening, Ken discussed with Carrie that they 96 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.040 would also have to kill Sharon because she wasn't in 97 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.079 on the plan and he was afraid she would tell 98 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.279 someone about the plan. Now. Carrie, of course, being very 99 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.439 close with her mother, said she just couldn't do it. 100 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.480 She at first wouldn't agree to go through with this plan, 101 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.120 but ultimately she realized that without her grandparents and her 102 00:05:05.160

--> 00:05:08.560 mother alive, she would need to cling to somebody, and 103 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.199 this person would have to be Ken, and so she 104 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.279 agrees to be by his side through all of this. 105 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.040 Ken was also said to be a very very good 106 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.560 manipulator and he would be able to talk her into anything, 107 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.079 and since she was young and shouted and needed somebody, 108 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.959 you know, needed somebody with her, she was easily persuaded 109 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.480 to do this. At nine o'clock PM on that same night, 110 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.120 Carrie turned the volume up on the TV, went into 111 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.959 Sharon's bedroom and stood between the bed and the window, 112 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.920 probably to block the view, and then Ken came into 113 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.639 the bedroom. He climbed on top of Sharon and he 114 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.759 suffocated her with a pillow. After this, he put a 115 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.319 knife through her face, and apparently he had stabbed her 116 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.240 multiple times in the face to make sure that she 117 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.759 was deceased. After the murder, the siblings went into the 118 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.160 living room and poured themselves tall glasses of vodka. After 119 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.040 drinking the vodka, they proceeded to have sex in Carrie's bed. 120 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.319 This was his way of further controlling his little sister, 121 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.240 depending on how you look at this case, she could 122 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.519 be considered partially a victim as well. At first, she 123 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.759 was younger than him, she knew how scary he was 124 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.639 and essentially just did whatever he wanted. But at the 125 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.519 same time she made the choices even she could have 126 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.839 warned someone about his plan earlier in the day before 127 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.439 it came to a fruition instead of helping him. After 128 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.759 they killed Sharon, they needed to clean up their mess. 129 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.959 They wrapped her body in the bed sheets and took 130 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.360 her to the bathtub. Ken told Carrie's school that she 131 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.639 was absent from school due to being sick and would 132 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.079 be absent for a few more weeks. On January third, 133 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.959 two thousand and five, Ken called his grandmother, Betty and 134 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.120 said that his mother, Sharon, had been ill and he 135 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.279 needed help taking care of her. Betty came over to 136 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.120 their house right away. When she entered, Ken placed a 137 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.120 bag over her head and suffocated her. Carrie was standing 138 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.279 in the living room watching her brother kill their grandmother. 139 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.879 They cleaned up the scene, and they placed Betty's body 140 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.959 in the bathroom next to Sharon's body. Ken then purchased 141 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.959 assault in trash bags from a local hardware store. And 142 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.560 he and Carrie set out to dismember their mother and grandmother. 143 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.360 He saw Betty and Sharon's bodies up while care replaced 144 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.759 the body parts in trash bags. Together, they carried the 145 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.720 bags out to a truck he had rented from a 146 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.560 car rental place. After placing the remains in the rental truck, 147 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.240 the pair drove to Indianapolis to where Betty and Leander 148 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.879 lived on January fifth. Leander was ninety one years old 149 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.800 at this time, and he was in his back bedroom 150 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.839 just taking a nap when Ken and Carrey pulled up 151 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.920 to the house. They waited for him to wake up 152 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.120 and come out of his bedroom, and they were there 153 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.160 waiting for several hours. Leander walked from his bedroom out 154 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.720 of the living room area. Ken then came out of 155 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.560 the kitchen and bludgeon Leander to death with a hammer. 156 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.279 They took his body to the bathroom of his home, 157 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.560 like they had done with Sharon and Betty's at their home. 158 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.399 Once they had killed all three victims, they moved into 159 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.680 Betty and Leander's home, where Ken purchased a laptop and 160 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.680 started to transfer his grandparents' money to his bank accounts. 161 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.920 Ken drove to the casinos where he spent three or 162 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.720 four days on a gambling binge. He lost around sixty 163 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.839 thousand dollars of the money already at this time, Carrie 164 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.920 was going on too various chat sites at the time 165 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.600 where she met a woman online. She invited the woman 166 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.279 to her grandparents home to engage in sexual acts while 167 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.120 Leander's body lay just in the bathroom on the floor nearby. 168 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.560 At this time, when Carrie had to use the restroom, 169 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.639 it was said that she just simply stepped over her 170 00:08:07.680 -->

00:08:11.360 grandfather's body. After a few weeks of gambling, Ken decided 171 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.920 he and Carrie needed to finally move on from the area. 172 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.800 Ken rented a jackhammer and broke the concrete floor in 173 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.360 the basement. Ken and Carrey were then able to dig 174 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.439 a large enough hole in the basement to bury all 175 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.959 three bodies. They rented a cement mixer, mixed concrete upstairs 176 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.079 in the living room, and carried five gallon buckets of 177 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.639 wet concrete down into the basement to cover the hole 178 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.080 where the bodies were. The pair then rented a rental 179 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.000 car instead of the truck they had and placed their 180 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.799 belongings as well as some of their grandparents' valuables in 181 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.679 it and set off to leave in Deiana. They started 182 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.840 heading west towards Las Vegas. On February ninth, two thousand 183 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.200 and five, a police officer conducting a routine traffic patrol 184 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.039 on I seventy in Forrests, Al, Missouri, spotted a speeding vehicle. 185 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.840 Ken and Carrey Allen were in the speeding vehicle. Ken 186 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.679 identified himself and presented ID, but Carrie did not have 187 00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.960 ID and simply told the officer her name and aid. 188 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.080 This seemed suspicious to the officer and he was worried 189 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.080 that something else was off besides the paris simply speeding. 190 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.120 Because of her age and not having an ID, he 191 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.600 figured maybe she could be kidnapped being held against her will. 192 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.159 So the officer asked Ken to exit the vehicle and 193 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.559 he started asking him about where they were headed and 194 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.000 kind of the itinerary of their trip. He told the 195 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.799 officer they were planning to start a new life in 196 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.480 Vegas and that they had been planning it for a 197 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.519 few months, but when the officer spoke to Carry, their 198 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.000 stories didn't add up. She said they had only been 199 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.559 planning it for a few days. The police officer called 200 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.919 for backup and they began to search the vehicle. They 201 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.159 located viables in the trunk of the car, as well 202 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.039 as Betty and Leander's IDs in the back seat. Ken 203 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.440 told them that his grandparents had passed away and that 204 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.320 they had left him with the jewelry and valuables. This 205 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.440 officer then contacted the police in Indianapolis to do a 206 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.519 welfare check at Betty and Leander's home and to kind 207 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.360 of investigate into the fact that they supposedly had recently died. 208 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.399 The home was a mess, but he did not find 209 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.559 the couple in the home anywhere. He went down to 210 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.559 the basement to make sure that they weren't there either, 211 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.919 but he then noticed the part of the basement floor 212 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.440 that looked inconsistent with the rest of the floor. This 213 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.039 officer remained in contact with the officer who had the 214 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.840 pair pulled over. Carrie then blurted out to the officers 215 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.919 that her brother had killed her mother and their grandparents 216 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.799 and buried them under the basement floor. After this statement 217 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.639 was made, Carrie and Ken were arrested.
