1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,180
Welcome my pretties come in have a seat as we sip the tea of reality. My name is
2
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:45,100
Autumn and I'm Haley and this is Don't You Know that I am going to ruin your day.
3
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:51,720
She always does. She just fed me so like, can't you? And it's gonna be it's gonna be pretty bad.
4
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,780
It is so hold down your lunch. You ever listen to a case and wonder how you're
5
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,320
supposed to go back to being normal after spending time in such a dark place?
6
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,920
That's how I felt when I listened to the Misery Machines episode on Tesla and
7
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Okul. The actions that were committed in that house of horrors are absolutely
8
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,360
abhorrent. I sobbed during the episode and once it was finished I just sat in
9
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,400
stunned silence. Contemplating the evil's humanity is capable of. It's unimaginable.
10
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,320
Yeah. Ouch. It was terrible. There's a trigger warning on today's episode isn't there Haley?
11
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,600
There is. You want to give it to us Autumn? Huh. Okay I don't know exactly what
12
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,400
case we're trying. Child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse. Abuse of all sorts.
13
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Death of child and rage. You know, you know just like the normal triggers. Honestly it's a true
14
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,520
crime. Forward podcast so. You know. You know.
15
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,200
So if you're not into that sort of thing or you're a little more sensitive feel
16
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:07,600
free to... Get out of here. Get out of here. I've been like no sense. But if you are going to stick around I'm going to take you
17
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,800
all the way back to June 17th 1997. In the early morning hours Springfield
18
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Oregon police would uncover the remains of a three-year-old girl in a shallow
19
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,600
grave near a logging road in Sweet Home Oregon. What led them to this tragic
20
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,320
discovery? None other than one of three adults that were responsible for
21
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,680
burying her there. The night before a woman wracked with guilt would confess to
22
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,680
assisting her brother in burying his victim. Among the body police
23
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,880
would find other items such as a piece of torn fabric, a tattered strip of gray
24
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,560
cloth, a blue braided belt, and a woman's ring adorned with a pink stone. To me it
25
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,520
seems this impromptu burial was committed in haste and thoughtless. But
26
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720
do these funerary items showcase a different tale? How did such a young child
27
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,040
end up in a makeshift grave seemingly laid to rest with love and loss?
28
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,720
To know that we must go back a few months to when this toddler and her
29
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,280
mother moved in with an abuser. Stella Kaiser was an abuse victim as in a child.
30
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Her father completed suicide in her early teens and a few years after
31
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,080
her father's death she would meet Jason O'Cull. She would often attend parties
32
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,160
and by the time she was 16 she would give birth to their first child, a boy
33
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,160
named after his father. Two years later on June 8th 1994,
34
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Peslin O'Cull was born at only six pounds and 12 ounces. A small family would
35
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,720
live with Jason's parents while he worked as a carpenter. Between his income and
36
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200
living frugally on welfare they were able to save enough money to move into a
37
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,800
duplex. It is said that Stella was selfish and immature for her age. He
38
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,280
enjoyed provoking Jason so he would fight other men for her. Those close to her will
39
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
say that it was difficult to have a conversation with her as she was so
40
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,280
self-centered she wouldn't listen or would quickly turn the
41
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,040
conversation to being about herself.
42
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:06,760
What we all know. Somebody like that. Two years after Tesslin was born. And if you
43
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:14,120
don't know you are that person. Self-reflection is a gift you can give
44
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:22,200
yourself. Anyway two years after Tesslin was born they would end the relationship.
45
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,280
Tesslin, Stella and Tesslin and the and Jason Jr. would move back to Oregon.
46
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,920
Jason would send her money every month. So I obviously did not go back and edit
47
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,800
any of this. So I might be tripping. Okay because I was like can I feel like there's a lot more red in here than normal.
48
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Yeah um I thought both of them were ready to go but apparently not. So anyway
49
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,480
not long after moving back to Oregon Stella would renew a bond with her twin
50
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,320
brother and put forth an effort to shape up her life by taking a parenting class.
51
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,360
By the time they had Christmas in California Stella told Jason he couldn't
52
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,440
handle she couldn't handle the boy anymore that she was overwhelmed being
53
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,720
and that's why she was harsh with him spanking him shouting at him punishing
54
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160
him for minor mistakes. Though they did say that she was never seen acting that
55
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,720
way with Tesslin. She left Jason Jr. behind with his father and went back
56
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,080
to Oregon with Tesslin. Little Jason had nightmares after living with his father's
57
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,640
family for a while talking about monsters and you know had wet the bed
58
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,240
whatnot but he eventually did acclimate to living with his dad not having been yelled at all the time.
59
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,440
Yeah that seems improvement her. Yeah there was some improvement for him so good.
60
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,520
By January 1997 Stella met Jesse Compton through a drug scene. A month
61
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,800
later her and Tesslin were living with him. They were all meth and violence.
62
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Neighbors would say they'd go for days without sleeping and become
63
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,720
dangerously irritable and paranoid before crashing for days. Compton not
64
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,800
only held drug parties at his house but actually cooked meth for his friends.
65
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,360
One of his favorite pastimes was melting his crystal with a propane torch then
66
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:13,640
holding the flame to his hand to show everyone how tough he was. Ah yes I love
67
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
to burn myself because that does mean I am tough.
68
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Naha. Got just strung out on some of his amphetamines.
69
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Immediately after Tesslin moved in he began abusing her hitting her with a
70
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,440
belt and a wooden spoon for essentially being a two-year-old. Witnesses from the
71
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,560
drug parties would reveal they saw Compton often slept excuse me.
72
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Witnesses from the drug parties would often, it's learning to read. Witnesses from the
73
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,640
drug parties would reveal they saw Compton often slap Tesslin and drag her
74
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880
by her hair make her stand in the corner for hours and take freezing bath and
75
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,080
showers. He was often angry with the child and would call her awful names.
76
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
She's two.
77
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,720
During the drug parties when Compton was physically wasn't physically abusing the
78
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,660
baby he and her mother would lock her in the room for hours ignoring her as she
79
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:17,600
cried and begged. These parties lasted for days at a time. Days. Oh heavy trigger
80
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,040
warning we're coming up on here. Especially if you have kids these next
81
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,360
several minutes are heartbreaking. During these parties Jesse would be seen
82
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,040
entering the room to be alone with Tesslin. While in there he would smoke a
83
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,240
healthy dose of meth while abusing her. Abuse that wouldn't be revealed until
84
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,280
the autopsy later on. After he had his fill of torture Compton would leave the
85
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,280
baby girl to cry for hours forbidding anyone to go in and comfort her. He
86
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,560
cried and cried but people were too fearful of Jesse to stand up to him. They
87
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,440
didn't want to lose their hookup. Eventually Tesslin would be left in the
88
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,320
room most of the time. One afternoon a neighbor finally complained about the way
89
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Tesslin was being treated telling Compton he was going to call the police.
90
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Compton then told the meddling neighbor that if he said anything he would kill
91
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,720
him and his girlfriend. Seeming as Jesse wasn't one to bluff as the neighbor back
92
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,280
downed he kept his mouth shut until it was too late. I would have called anyway.
93
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560
I would have set their trailer on fire but had the engine you know had the fire
94
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,040
engine on the cops beforehand. Yeah. Right. Like think out fuck inside the box.
95
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,840
People don't just sit idly by. I mean I get being scared and I mean drugs really
96
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,060
impair people's thinkings for sure. Well what are they gonna they're gonna come
97
00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:36,540
over and there's obviously gonna be like Matthews and all of that shit so
98
00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:41,080
obviously. Right. I don't know and then just move the fuck away. I don't know. I
99
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,360
would have called anyway. Compton was a lover of knots and binds. He would often
100
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,000
hogtie Tesslin with her hands and feet above her head with knotted strips of
101
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800
cloth that he tore off of whatever was closest. Usually the curtains. He would
102
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760
let this go on for eight to ten hours at a time. Tied up in pain, wetting herself
103
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,200
because she can't move to go to the bathroom. Now unfortunately you probably
104
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,280
have an idea why the poor baby was tied up like this. If you didn't know Beth
105
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
doesn't just keep you awake moving faster than the flash, it makes you
106
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,040
hyper aggressive, hyper paranoid, hypersexual. Not only was he tying her up,
107
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,800
beating her, starving her, neglecting her for hours, he was raping her.
108
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Oftentimes with foreign objects. Her mother knew all of this was going on. A
109
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,000
horde of people knew what was happening and did nothing while the sick fuck
110
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,560
tortured a two-year-old girl. Yeah yeah drugs make you do stupid shit. They're in
111
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:45,080
control of you, you know, controversial opinion but I don't give a fuck.
112
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,920
The moment you decide to take that first hit of meth, crack heroin, whatever, you take
113
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,440
responsibility for everything that happens after the fact. Life's hard, people
114
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,680
get into drugs, I get it. Same way having a fucked up childhood doesn't excuse
115
00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:00,280
becoming a serial killer. Neither does being a drug addict excuse you
116
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,880
from your actions or in this case inactions. Period. It's an explanation, not
117
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
an excuse and I have compassion. I'm not saying they should be held accountable
118
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:16,480
but they're just as guilty for her death. Absolutely. Alright back to Tesslyn. Not
119
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,680
only was he forcing foreign objects inside of her, he was burning her with
120
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,760
his propane torch on the back of the butt and the labia. Some of those wounds
121
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,420
would become infected so he would douse her in rubbing alcohol and I want to
122
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:35,680
reiterate real quick. He burned this baby so bad her labia fell off when it
123
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,640
became and when it became infected he poured rubbing alcohol over the open
124
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:46,520
wound. Go ahead, I'll wait for you to vomit. Neighbors would report that between
125
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,440
beatings and sexual assault Compton and Kaiser would dangle Tesslyn from the
126
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,680
balcony and pour beer down her throat as a prank.
127
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Compton also liked to throw knives at the wall. One time he would throw one so
128
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,400
close to Tesslyn's head that would miss her by a few inches. So this was just a
129
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,840
war zone.
130
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,200
One visit from her grandmother, Tesslyn would tell her that she wanted to live
131
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,040
somewhere else. This made her suspicious so Kaiser cut off all contact. Could have
132
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:31,320
given the baby to grandma. She was open to it. She could have gone back to dad but no.
133
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,520
She ended their relationship with her mother telling them that Tesslyn cut
134
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,800
patches of hair out for herself because the baby was missing patches of hair.
135
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:47,800
Had scabs. So here's the fucking cherry on top. Tesslyn's paternal family was
136
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,800
suspicious. They called the cops to perform a Welch bear check so like
137
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,560
they're doing the right thing. Too fucking bad the cops didn't take it
138
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:03,440
seriously. I mean like... So the cops go to the trailer knock knock. Tell Kaiser
139
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,840
they're there to check up on the baby. Kaiser of course doesn't let them into
140
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,600
the house. That's her right. So they can see Tesslyn through the
141
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,240
window. She waves at the cop. He waves back and since she isn't in any obvious
142
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:23,520
distress, tip their head and leave. I get it. They can't just like push their way in or
143
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:30,360
anything but... Investigations should have been opened. They should have brought a
144
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,720
welfare worker who... I don't know. Something... yeah. I don't know.
145
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,240
As I said, at the time there was no law that mandated a person admit entrance
146
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,040
to a police officer during a welfare check. Since this case, it has
147
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:54,240
helped laws changed and I'll touch more on that later. Tesslyn was always dirty
148
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,120
and smelly and left alone. Poor baby. Four months before her death, Compton
149
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,960
either had stomped on her or knelt on her enough that he had broke four
150
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:10,360
vertebrae in her back and they gave her no medical care. None at all. The abuse
151
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,680
would continue to get worse right up to her death. Night before she was buried in
152
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,280
a shallow grave, Compton stomped on her abdomen so hard he ruptured her liver
153
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,600
and her spleen. We hit her on the head so hard so many times that her brain was
154
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,000
swollen and bruised. Compton would also scrape a fork along her abdomen and
155
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:34,480
stab her with it. She's just really three years old. You know how small a three-year
156
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,600
old is? She's barely 40 pounds and this fuck is like 6'2 and 180 pounds.
157
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:47,920
Met out. And she was starved so mad. She's just skin and bones being thrown
158
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:55,840
around the room like trash. Just stomped on broken bruise, blood, burned. Anyway.
159
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,120
June 8th. Her third birthday.
160
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,280
When grandma came over with a cake to celebrate, it was once again turned away
161
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,160
by Stella saying Tesslyn was sick. When the child came out for a brief hug, her
162
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,120
grandmother said she just lunged to her.
163
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,240
Five days later, Compton would check on Tesslyn after another bout of torture.
164
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,480
She was unresponsive. He untied her, immediately performing CPR by hitting
165
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,400
her chest. When this didn't work, he would throw cold water on her. He even ripped
166
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,720
apart a lamp cord to use to shock her back to life. Fucking meth head
167
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,360
defibrillator. How you say that? Defibrillator? Yeah, that thing. Of course, none of this
168
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040
would bring her back to life. He left her lifeless body there while he and her
169
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,320
mother planned what to do next. They knew with the injuries on her body that they
170
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,160
would be arrested for at the very least child abuse. Not ready to let the party
171
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,720
end, they placed her shattered little body into a laundry basket, covering her
172
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,400
with dirty clothes to conceal the murder of three-year-old Tesslyn O'Cole.
173
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Jesse then asked his sister to help them bury her in a shallow grave in the woodland
174
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640
of Sweet Home, Oregon.
175
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,800
And the days after burying Tesslyn, the couple was seen being happy and
176
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,560
affectionate. Della told anyone who asked about the baby girl that she was with a
177
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,560
babysitter or off with an aunt.
178
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,360
And this, my pretties, brings us back to our first scene. The little prompting from
179
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,560
her boyfriend, Compton's sister would go to the police on the evening of June 16th.
180
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,280
I was about to fucking say, this sister just fucking did that? Yeah, I believe
181
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,560
was also addicted to methamphetamines and he was the hookup or something. I wasn't
182
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,200
going to say anything, so I was like, I'm just gonna see how this plays out.
183
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:48,080
His sister, he was like, yeah, so you know my girlfriend's kid, I tortured her to
184
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,560
death. You want to help me bury her real fast? I'll give you a couple rocks. And she
185
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,920
was like, for sure. Sure. And then her boyfriend was like, you buried a child in
186
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:05,840
a shallow fucking grave. Maybe you should go tell the cops. That's like you had
187
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,520
nothing to do with it before. But you fucking helped. But now you got something to do
188
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:17,200
with it. Okay. Things we do for drugs. I don't know. I'm just, that's a little bit fucked up.
189
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Police would of course dispatch a forensic team to investigate the grave
190
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,800
site and the home of the child. What they discovered was a filthy house, fresh,
191
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,600
strewn about, dirty dishes, molded food. They searched the garbage bins and found
192
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280
cloth that had been knotted. Something of the knots containing sometimes,
193
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,200
something, some of the knots containing strands of thin blonde hair. Cloth would
194
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,160
later be matched to what was found with Teslin's body. Pathologists performed the
195
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
autopsy concluded that barely three-year-old Teslin had died from
196
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,520
shock and listed her death as battered child syndrome. One of the worst cases
197
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:56,100
he had seen. There were also many injuries on her little body. It was
198
00:16:56,100 --> 00:17:00,400
difficult to definitively say which one was the killing wound. Jesse Compton
199
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,800
would be arrested and indicted on six counts of aggravated murder, murder by
200
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,660
abuse, first-degree sexual penetration, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He
201
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:12,120
was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death.
202
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:17,700
A sentence would later be commuted by Oregon Governor Kate Brown in 2022, along
203
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:21,160
with 17 other violent offenders. Her opinion was, justice is not served by
204
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,760
taking a life and it is not the state's job to execute people, even if they have
205
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,200
been undoubtedly convicted of a terrible crime. He now serves a life sentence
206
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,240
without the possibility of parole. Even better! Stella Kaiser was found guilty of
207
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,120
aggravated murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of
208
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,360
parole.
209
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,280
So, Teslin Elizabeth O'Cole was described as a happy little girl who was full of
210
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,040
life. She loved animals, especially her grandfather's horses when she would
211
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,040
visit him in California. She loved music and she liked to play with trucks. This
212
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,880
young life was brutally taken by the hands that were meant to protect her.
213
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,240
Stella Kaiser and Jesse Compton are monsters. Drug abuse or not, they are vile,
214
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,000
hateful creatures not meant to breathe while Teslin cannot. Welcome, I hope they
215
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
rot alive.
216
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,400
Anyway folks, that's all she wrote. Now we're gonna give you a little bit of a
217
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,280
palate cleanser. The 60 most hilarious things patients have said while under
218
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,560
anesthesia. We won't read all 60. That's enough to keep us from going over the
219
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:28,880
blank. Excuse me, it's not a palate cleanser. This is a sip of stupidity! Oh my apologies, a sip of stupidity. I will
220
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:37,760
definitely edit that out. All right, can you see? No? No, I'm blind.
221
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:44,640
60 most hilarious things patients have said while under anesthesia. Am I in
222
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,440
hell? I responded, no, you're just in recovery. That sounds like something the
223
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:58,080
devil would say. Count backwards from 100 to prove it. 99. Patient was heavily
224
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:06,480
sedated in ICU. Nurse gave an enema. Half-conscious response. Honey, you know I
225
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:13,680
don't like it that way. Patient stroked my unshaved arm while I was trying to
226
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,480
have him, whoa, one patient stroked my unshaved arm while I was trying to keep
227
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:30,200
him from pulling at his IV. Mothered, you, you'd make such a great carpet. This is
228
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,240
actually something I supposedly said when I came out of wisdom teeth surgery
229
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:42,280
and woke up. My bones feel wet and I have a napkin. I still wonder what I was
230
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:52,000
thinking. My bones are wet. Imagine, wait, go up one. Go up one. Number seven, number seven.
231
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Polinoscopy. Berry prime and proper lady under sedation. Oh sorry,
232
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:08,080
polinoscopy. Berry prim and proper lady under sedation. As the scope was
233
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,640
introduced, she exclaimed, ooh darling, you said you wouldn't do that anymore.
234
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:23,880
Ooh darling, we had a verbal contract. Let's do up to ten. So number eight. Oh my dad
235
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,960
works with that stuff. Funniest thing he's heard is, hey Mr. Doctor, my ass itches
236
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:40,560
and I'm too high to scratch it. Number nine. Had a patient wake up violently. He,
237
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:51,640
when he came to, he said, sorry, I thought I was a shark. Nurse anesthetics,
238
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:58,160
anesthetics, anesthetics, nurse anesthetics here. When I was in school, I was getting
239
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:04,760
ready to get a lady, whoa, when I was in school, I was getting ready to get a lady
240
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:12,320
off to sleep, okay, gotta keep reading. Yep, yep, and was going through my regular spiel.
241
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:21,840
I had a mask on her face and I said nice big breath as she pushed. As I pushed
242
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,320
propofol. Jesus Christ, I decided to read ten. As I pushed propofol, right before she
243
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,920
went out, she said thanks, I just had them done.
244
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Because at my, what do you see, preceptor, preceptor, we looked at, oh my god, I looked at my
245
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,440
preceptor, we looked at the circulator, and we all burst out laughing. I now say
246
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:58,800
slow deep breaths instead, instead. I love telling the story of the lady made our,
247
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,560
all of our days. Nice babies. That makes sense. Well this has been another episode
248
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,360
of Don't You Know, and don't forget everyone that we're going on a little
249
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:14,440
break here. We'll come back with season three, turn of the year, January 2025, and
250
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,760
we'll see what kind of updates happen because we'll pre-record and then we'll
251
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:27,880
come back, so who knows how. But you'll just be getting all the updates. That's gonna be great.
252
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,600
We just have a whole bunch of personal things coming up. So, that being said, you
253
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,400
can also listen to my sister podcast over there at From the Depths of Silence
254
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,160
where I read my poetry and short stories for your listening pleasure. So maybe
255
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,200
that can keep your ears busy while we're on a break. In the meantime, go ahead
256
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,560
and engage with us over at our socials. Everything is at
257
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Don't You Know Pod, our email is at Don't You Know Pod Outlook. My name is
258
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Autumn, and I'm Hailey, and don't forget to lock your doors.
259
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:47,960
You know you made it.
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,180
Welcome my pretties come in have a seat as we sip the tea of reality. My name is
2
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:45,100
Autumn and I'm Haley and this is Don't You Know that I am going to ruin your day.
3
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:51,720
She always does. She just fed me so like, can't you? And it's gonna be it's gonna be pretty bad.
4
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,780
It is so hold down your lunch. You ever listen to a case and wonder how you're
5
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,320
supposed to go back to being normal after spending time in such a dark place?
6
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,920
That's how I felt when I listened to the Misery Machines episode on Tesla and
7
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Okul. The actions that were committed in that house of horrors are absolutely
8
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,360
abhorrent. I sobbed during the episode and once it was finished I just sat in
9
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,400
stunned silence. Contemplating the evil's humanity is capable of. It's unimaginable.
10
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,320
Yeah. Ouch. It was terrible. There's a trigger warning on today's episode isn't there Haley?
11
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,600
There is. You want to give it to us Autumn? Huh. Okay I don't know exactly what
12
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,400
case we're trying. Child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse. Abuse of all sorts.
13
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Death of child and rage. You know, you know just like the normal triggers. Honestly it's a true
14
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,520
crime. Forward podcast so. You know. You know.
15
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,200
So if you're not into that sort of thing or you're a little more sensitive feel
16
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:07,600
free to... Get out of here. Get out of here. I've been like no sense. But if you are going to stick around I'm going to take you
17
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,800
all the way back to June 17th 1997. In the early morning hours Springfield
18
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Oregon police would uncover the remains of a three-year-old girl in a shallow
19
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,600
grave near a logging road in Sweet Home Oregon. What led them to this tragic
20
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,320
discovery? None other than one of three adults that were responsible for
21
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,680
burying her there. The night before a woman wracked with guilt would confess to
22
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,680
assisting her brother in burying his victim. Among the body police
23
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,880
would find other items such as a piece of torn fabric, a tattered strip of gray
24
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,560
cloth, a blue braided belt, and a woman's ring adorned with a pink stone. To me it
25
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,520
seems this impromptu burial was committed in haste and thoughtless. But
26
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720
do these funerary items showcase a different tale? How did such a young child
27
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,040
end up in a makeshift grave seemingly laid to rest with love and loss?
28
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,720
To know that we must go back a few months to when this toddler and her
29
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,280
mother moved in with an abuser. Stella Kaiser was an abuse victim as in a child.
30
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Her father completed suicide in her early teens and a few years after
31
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,080
her father's death she would meet Jason O'Cull. She would often attend parties
32
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,160
and by the time she was 16 she would give birth to their first child, a boy
33
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,160
named after his father. Two years later on June 8th 1994,
34
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Peslin O'Cull was born at only six pounds and 12 ounces. A small family would
35
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,720
live with Jason's parents while he worked as a carpenter. Between his income and
36
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200
living frugally on welfare they were able to save enough money to move into a
37
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,800
duplex. It is said that Stella was selfish and immature for her age. He
38
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,280
enjoyed provoking Jason so he would fight other men for her. Those close to her will
39
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
say that it was difficult to have a conversation with her as she was so
40
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,280
self-centered she wouldn't listen or would quickly turn the
41
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,040
conversation to being about herself.
42
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:06,760
What we all know. Somebody like that. Two years after Tesslin was born. And if you
43
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:14,120
don't know you are that person. Self-reflection is a gift you can give
44
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:22,200
yourself. Anyway two years after Tesslin was born they would end the relationship.
45
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,280
Tesslin, Stella and Tesslin and the and Jason Jr. would move back to Oregon.
46
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,920
Jason would send her money every month. So I obviously did not go back and edit
47
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,800
any of this. So I might be tripping. Okay because I was like can I feel like there's a lot more red in here than normal.
48
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Yeah um I thought both of them were ready to go but apparently not. So anyway
49
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,480
not long after moving back to Oregon Stella would renew a bond with her twin
50
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,320
brother and put forth an effort to shape up her life by taking a parenting class.
51
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,360
By the time they had Christmas in California Stella told Jason he couldn't
52
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,440
handle she couldn't handle the boy anymore that she was overwhelmed being
53
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,720
and that's why she was harsh with him spanking him shouting at him punishing
54
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160
him for minor mistakes. Though they did say that she was never seen acting that
55
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,720
way with Tesslin. She left Jason Jr. behind with his father and went back
56
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,080
to Oregon with Tesslin. Little Jason had nightmares after living with his father's
57
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,640
family for a while talking about monsters and you know had wet the bed
58
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,240
whatnot but he eventually did acclimate to living with his dad not having been yelled at all the time.
59
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,440
Yeah that seems improvement her. Yeah there was some improvement for him so good.
60
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,520
By January 1997 Stella met Jesse Compton through a drug scene. A month
61
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,800
later her and Tesslin were living with him. They were all meth and violence.
62
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Neighbors would say they'd go for days without sleeping and become
63
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,720
dangerously irritable and paranoid before crashing for days. Compton not
64
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,800
only held drug parties at his house but actually cooked meth for his friends.
65
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,360
One of his favorite pastimes was melting his crystal with a propane torch then
66
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:13,640
holding the flame to his hand to show everyone how tough he was. Ah yes I love
67
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
to burn myself because that does mean I am tough.
68
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Naha. Got just strung out on some of his amphetamines.
69
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Immediately after Tesslin moved in he began abusing her hitting her with a
70
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,440
belt and a wooden spoon for essentially being a two-year-old. Witnesses from the
71
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,560
drug parties would reveal they saw Compton often slept excuse me.
72
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Witnesses from the drug parties would often, it's learning to read. Witnesses from the
73
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,640
drug parties would reveal they saw Compton often slap Tesslin and drag her
74
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880
by her hair make her stand in the corner for hours and take freezing bath and
75
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,080
showers. He was often angry with the child and would call her awful names.
76
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
She's two.
77
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,720
During the drug parties when Compton was physically wasn't physically abusing the
78
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,660
baby he and her mother would lock her in the room for hours ignoring her as she
79
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:17,600
cried and begged. These parties lasted for days at a time. Days. Oh heavy trigger
80
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,040
warning we're coming up on here. Especially if you have kids these next
81
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,360
several minutes are heartbreaking. During these parties Jesse would be seen
82
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,040
entering the room to be alone with Tesslin. While in there he would smoke a
83
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,240
healthy dose of meth while abusing her. Abuse that wouldn't be revealed until
84
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,280
the autopsy later on. After he had his fill of torture Compton would leave the
85
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,280
baby girl to cry for hours forbidding anyone to go in and comfort her. He
86
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,560
cried and cried but people were too fearful of Jesse to stand up to him. They
87
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,440
didn't want to lose their hookup. Eventually Tesslin would be left in the
88
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,320
room most of the time. One afternoon a neighbor finally complained about the way
89
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Tesslin was being treated telling Compton he was going to call the police.
90
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Compton then told the meddling neighbor that if he said anything he would kill
91
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,720
him and his girlfriend. Seeming as Jesse wasn't one to bluff as the neighbor back
92
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,280
downed he kept his mouth shut until it was too late. I would have called anyway.
93
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560
I would have set their trailer on fire but had the engine you know had the fire
94
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,040
engine on the cops beforehand. Yeah. Right. Like think out fuck inside the box.
95
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,840
People don't just sit idly by. I mean I get being scared and I mean drugs really
96
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,060
impair people's thinkings for sure. Well what are they gonna they're gonna come
97
00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:36,540
over and there's obviously gonna be like Matthews and all of that shit so
98
00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:41,080
obviously. Right. I don't know and then just move the fuck away. I don't know. I
99
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,360
would have called anyway. Compton was a lover of knots and binds. He would often
100
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,000
hogtie Tesslin with her hands and feet above her head with knotted strips of
101
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800
cloth that he tore off of whatever was closest. Usually the curtains. He would
102
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760
let this go on for eight to ten hours at a time. Tied up in pain, wetting herself
103
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,200
because she can't move to go to the bathroom. Now unfortunately you probably
104
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,280
have an idea why the poor baby was tied up like this. If you didn't know Beth
105
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
doesn't just keep you awake moving faster than the flash, it makes you
106
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,040
hyper aggressive, hyper paranoid, hypersexual. Not only was he tying her up,
107
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,800
beating her, starving her, neglecting her for hours, he was raping her.
108
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Oftentimes with foreign objects. Her mother knew all of this was going on. A
109
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,000
horde of people knew what was happening and did nothing while the sick fuck
110
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,560
tortured a two-year-old girl. Yeah yeah drugs make you do stupid shit. They're in
111
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:45,080
control of you, you know, controversial opinion but I don't give a fuck.
112
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,920
The moment you decide to take that first hit of meth, crack heroin, whatever, you take
113
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,440
responsibility for everything that happens after the fact. Life's hard, people
114
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,680
get into drugs, I get it. Same way having a fucked up childhood doesn't excuse
115
00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:00,280
becoming a serial killer. Neither does being a drug addict excuse you
116
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,880
from your actions or in this case inactions. Period. It's an explanation, not
117
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
an excuse and I have compassion. I'm not saying they should be held accountable
118
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:16,480
but they're just as guilty for her death. Absolutely. Alright back to Tesslyn. Not
119
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,680
only was he forcing foreign objects inside of her, he was burning her with
120
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,760
his propane torch on the back of the butt and the labia. Some of those wounds
121
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,420
would become infected so he would douse her in rubbing alcohol and I want to
122
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:35,680
reiterate real quick. He burned this baby so bad her labia fell off when it
123
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,640
became and when it became infected he poured rubbing alcohol over the open
124
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:46,520
wound. Go ahead, I'll wait for you to vomit. Neighbors would report that between
125
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,440
beatings and sexual assault Compton and Kaiser would dangle Tesslyn from the
126
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,680
balcony and pour beer down her throat as a prank.
127
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Compton also liked to throw knives at the wall. One time he would throw one so
128
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,400
close to Tesslyn's head that would miss her by a few inches. So this was just a
129
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,840
war zone.
130
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,200
One visit from her grandmother, Tesslyn would tell her that she wanted to live
131
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,040
somewhere else. This made her suspicious so Kaiser cut off all contact. Could have
132
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:31,320
given the baby to grandma. She was open to it. She could have gone back to dad but no.
133
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,520
She ended their relationship with her mother telling them that Tesslyn cut
134
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,800
patches of hair out for herself because the baby was missing patches of hair.
135
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:47,800
Had scabs. So here's the fucking cherry on top. Tesslyn's paternal family was
136
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,800
suspicious. They called the cops to perform a Welch bear check so like
137
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,560
they're doing the right thing. Too fucking bad the cops didn't take it
138
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:03,440
seriously. I mean like... So the cops go to the trailer knock knock. Tell Kaiser
139
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,840
they're there to check up on the baby. Kaiser of course doesn't let them into
140
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,600
the house. That's her right. So they can see Tesslyn through the
141
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,240
window. She waves at the cop. He waves back and since she isn't in any obvious
142
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:23,520
distress, tip their head and leave. I get it. They can't just like push their way in or
143
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:30,360
anything but... Investigations should have been opened. They should have brought a
144
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,720
welfare worker who... I don't know. Something... yeah. I don't know.
145
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,240
As I said, at the time there was no law that mandated a person admit entrance
146
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,040
to a police officer during a welfare check. Since this case, it has
147
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:54,240
helped laws changed and I'll touch more on that later. Tesslyn was always dirty
148
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,120
and smelly and left alone. Poor baby. Four months before her death, Compton
149
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,960
either had stomped on her or knelt on her enough that he had broke four
150
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:10,360
vertebrae in her back and they gave her no medical care. None at all. The abuse
151
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,680
would continue to get worse right up to her death. Night before she was buried in
152
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,280
a shallow grave, Compton stomped on her abdomen so hard he ruptured her liver
153
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,600
and her spleen. We hit her on the head so hard so many times that her brain was
154
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,000
swollen and bruised. Compton would also scrape a fork along her abdomen and
155
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:34,480
stab her with it. She's just really three years old. You know how small a three-year
156
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,600
old is? She's barely 40 pounds and this fuck is like 6'2 and 180 pounds.
157
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:47,920
Met out. And she was starved so mad. She's just skin and bones being thrown
158
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:55,840
around the room like trash. Just stomped on broken bruise, blood, burned. Anyway.
159
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,120
June 8th. Her third birthday.
160
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,280
When grandma came over with a cake to celebrate, it was once again turned away
161
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,160
by Stella saying Tesslyn was sick. When the child came out for a brief hug, her
162
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,120
grandmother said she just lunged to her.
163
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,240
Five days later, Compton would check on Tesslyn after another bout of torture.
164
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,480
She was unresponsive. He untied her, immediately performing CPR by hitting
165
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,400
her chest. When this didn't work, he would throw cold water on her. He even ripped
166
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,720
apart a lamp cord to use to shock her back to life. Fucking meth head
167
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,360
defibrillator. How you say that? Defibrillator? Yeah, that thing. Of course, none of this
168
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040
would bring her back to life. He left her lifeless body there while he and her
169
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,320
mother planned what to do next. They knew with the injuries on her body that they
170
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,160
would be arrested for at the very least child abuse. Not ready to let the party
171
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,720
end, they placed her shattered little body into a laundry basket, covering her
172
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,400
with dirty clothes to conceal the murder of three-year-old Tesslyn O'Cole.
173
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Jesse then asked his sister to help them bury her in a shallow grave in the woodland
174
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640
of Sweet Home, Oregon.
175
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,800
And the days after burying Tesslyn, the couple was seen being happy and
176
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,560
affectionate. Della told anyone who asked about the baby girl that she was with a
177
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,560
babysitter or off with an aunt.
178
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,360
And this, my pretties, brings us back to our first scene. The little prompting from
179
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,560
her boyfriend, Compton's sister would go to the police on the evening of June 16th.
180
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,280
I was about to fucking say, this sister just fucking did that? Yeah, I believe
181
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,560
was also addicted to methamphetamines and he was the hookup or something. I wasn't
182
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,200
going to say anything, so I was like, I'm just gonna see how this plays out.
183
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:48,080
His sister, he was like, yeah, so you know my girlfriend's kid, I tortured her to
184
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,560
death. You want to help me bury her real fast? I'll give you a couple rocks. And she
185
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,920
was like, for sure. Sure. And then her boyfriend was like, you buried a child in
186
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:05,840
a shallow fucking grave. Maybe you should go tell the cops. That's like you had
187
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,520
nothing to do with it before. But you fucking helped. But now you got something to do
188
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:17,200
with it. Okay. Things we do for drugs. I don't know. I'm just, that's a little bit fucked up.
189
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Police would of course dispatch a forensic team to investigate the grave
190
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,800
site and the home of the child. What they discovered was a filthy house, fresh,
191
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,600
strewn about, dirty dishes, molded food. They searched the garbage bins and found
192
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280
cloth that had been knotted. Something of the knots containing sometimes,
193
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,200
something, some of the knots containing strands of thin blonde hair. Cloth would
194
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,160
later be matched to what was found with Teslin's body. Pathologists performed the
195
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
autopsy concluded that barely three-year-old Teslin had died from
196
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,520
shock and listed her death as battered child syndrome. One of the worst cases
197
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:56,100
he had seen. There were also many injuries on her little body. It was
198
00:16:56,100 --> 00:17:00,400
difficult to definitively say which one was the killing wound. Jesse Compton
199
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,800
would be arrested and indicted on six counts of aggravated murder, murder by
200
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,660
abuse, first-degree sexual penetration, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He
201
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:12,120
was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death.
202
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:17,700
A sentence would later be commuted by Oregon Governor Kate Brown in 2022, along
203
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:21,160
with 17 other violent offenders. Her opinion was, justice is not served by
204
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,760
taking a life and it is not the state's job to execute people, even if they have
205
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,200
been undoubtedly convicted of a terrible crime. He now serves a life sentence
206
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,240
without the possibility of parole. Even better! Stella Kaiser was found guilty of
207
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,120
aggravated murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of
208
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,360
parole.
209
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,280
So, Teslin Elizabeth O'Cole was described as a happy little girl who was full of
210
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,040
life. She loved animals, especially her grandfather's horses when she would
211
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,040
visit him in California. She loved music and she liked to play with trucks. This
212
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,880
young life was brutally taken by the hands that were meant to protect her.
213
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,240
Stella Kaiser and Jesse Compton are monsters. Drug abuse or not, they are vile,
214
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,000
hateful creatures not meant to breathe while Teslin cannot. Welcome, I hope they
215
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
rot alive.
216
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,400
Anyway folks, that's all she wrote. Now we're gonna give you a little bit of a
217
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,280
palate cleanser. The 60 most hilarious things patients have said while under
218
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,560
anesthesia. We won't read all 60. That's enough to keep us from going over the
219
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:28,880
blank. Excuse me, it's not a palate cleanser. This is a sip of stupidity! Oh my apologies, a sip of stupidity. I will
220
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:37,760
definitely edit that out. All right, can you see? No? No, I'm blind.
221
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:44,640
60 most hilarious things patients have said while under anesthesia. Am I in
222
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,440
hell? I responded, no, you're just in recovery. That sounds like something the
223
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:58,080
devil would say. Count backwards from 100 to prove it. 99. Patient was heavily
224
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:06,480
sedated in ICU. Nurse gave an enema. Half-conscious response. Honey, you know I
225
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:13,680
don't like it that way. Patient stroked my unshaved arm while I was trying to
226
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,480
have him, whoa, one patient stroked my unshaved arm while I was trying to keep
227
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:30,200
him from pulling at his IV. Mothered, you, you'd make such a great carpet. This is
228
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,240
actually something I supposedly said when I came out of wisdom teeth surgery
229
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:42,280
and woke up. My bones feel wet and I have a napkin. I still wonder what I was
230
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:52,000
thinking. My bones are wet. Imagine, wait, go up one. Go up one. Number seven, number seven.
231
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Polinoscopy. Berry prime and proper lady under sedation. Oh sorry,
232
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:08,080
polinoscopy. Berry prim and proper lady under sedation. As the scope was
233
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,640
introduced, she exclaimed, ooh darling, you said you wouldn't do that anymore.
234
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:23,880
Ooh darling, we had a verbal contract. Let's do up to ten. So number eight. Oh my dad
235
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,960
works with that stuff. Funniest thing he's heard is, hey Mr. Doctor, my ass itches
236
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:40,560
and I'm too high to scratch it. Number nine. Had a patient wake up violently. He,
237
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:51,640
when he came to, he said, sorry, I thought I was a shark. Nurse anesthetics,
238
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:58,160
anesthetics, anesthetics, nurse anesthetics here. When I was in school, I was getting
239
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:04,760
ready to get a lady, whoa, when I was in school, I was getting ready to get a lady
240
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:12,320
off to sleep, okay, gotta keep reading. Yep, yep, and was going through my regular spiel.
241
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:21,840
I had a mask on her face and I said nice big breath as she pushed. As I pushed
242
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,320
propofol. Jesus Christ, I decided to read ten. As I pushed propofol, right before she
243
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,920
went out, she said thanks, I just had them done.
244
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Because at my, what do you see, preceptor, preceptor, we looked at, oh my god, I looked at my
245
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,440
preceptor, we looked at the circulator, and we all burst out laughing. I now say
246
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:58,800
slow deep breaths instead, instead. I love telling the story of the lady made our,
247
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,560
all of our days. Nice babies. That makes sense. Well this has been another episode
248
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,360
of Don't You Know, and don't forget everyone that we're going on a little
249
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:14,440
break here. We'll come back with season three, turn of the year, January 2025, and
250
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,760
we'll see what kind of updates happen because we'll pre-record and then we'll
251
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:27,880
come back, so who knows how. But you'll just be getting all the updates. That's gonna be great.
252
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,600
We just have a whole bunch of personal things coming up. So, that being said, you
253
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,400
can also listen to my sister podcast over there at From the Depths of Silence
254
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,160
where I read my poetry and short stories for your listening pleasure. So maybe
255
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,200
that can keep your ears busy while we're on a break. In the meantime, go ahead
256
