unless she needed something from the kitchen. Typical. Her grandfather's 83 00:04:54.459 --> 00:04:57.250 bedroom was on the opposite end of the house, down 84 00:04:57.310 --> 00:05:02.829 the hallway, beside her parents' room. Grandpa, otherwise known as 85 00:05:02.930 --> 00:05:07.550 David Cole Sr., had turned 80 just two days before Christmas. 86 00:05:08.870 --> 00:05:13.199 He had Parkinson's and didn't drive anymore, but according to 87 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.500 his family, he was still able to walk around and 88 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.439 take care of most of his own needs. Nina hadn't 89 00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:22.399 seen anyone come to pick him up. She didn't know 90 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.720 where in Cincinnati he was staying, and she hadn't spoken 91 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.899 with him since he left. If she ever spoke to 92 00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:29.899 him much at. 93 00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:30.600 All, that is. 94 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.449 But she had no reason to question what her parents 95 00:05:34.509 --> 00:05:37.970 told her. A little less than an hour after Nina's interview, 96 00:05:38.430 --> 00:05:42.949 Detective Ruff sat down with her mother, Brittany Cole. He 97 00:05:43.050 --> 00:05:44.769 asked her the same questions. 98 00:05:46.069 --> 00:05:49.269 And that house on Summer Street, did you buy that? 99 00:05:49.290 --> 00:05:50.970 It was left to me by my grandmother. 100 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.060 And what was her name? 101 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.319 Catherine Anderson. 102 00:05:59.300 --> 00:05:59.800 Okay. 103 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:01.800 It's spelled with a K. 104 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:02.759 Oh, okay. 105 00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:07.600 Has anybody else lived there over the last few years 106 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:08.560 with you guys? 107 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.259 My mother-in-law and father-in-law. 108 00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:11.060 Okay. 109 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.439 And what are their names? 110 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:13.439 Janet Cole. 111 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:14.459 Janet? 112 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:14.980 Mm-hmm. 113 00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:16.279 Okay. 114 00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:18.040 And? And David Cole Sr. 115 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:18.279 Okay. 116 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:18.959 Okay. 117 00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:23.899 She also told detectives that her daughter's boyfriend had recently 118 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:24.420 moved in. 119 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.220 And Janet and David, when did they move out? 120 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:36.899 Mom actually passed. It was 2023. She died of cancer. 121 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:39.759 And David? 122 00:06:39.779 --> 00:06:45.079 When was I told? It was the second week of 123 00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:48.689 January that I was told he moved out. I'm in 124 00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:51.350 nursing school, so I'm hardly ever home. Okay. 125 00:06:52.870 --> 00:06:56.009 Just like her daughter, Brittany only heard through the grapevine, 126 00:06:56.050 --> 00:06:59.430 I guess, that her father-in-law was not only planning to 127 00:06:59.470 --> 00:07:02.009 move out, but had in fact done so. 128 00:07:02.790 --> 00:07:03.680 And where did he go? 129 00:07:04.689 --> 00:07:06.420 He has a brother in Columbus. 130 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.420 I think we ran a plate up there. 131 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.680 Was one of those vehicles his? 132 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:13.379 Yes, it was the SUV. 133 00:07:14.019 --> 00:07:15.160 Okay. 134 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:23.079 Does he not drive No. Okay. So how'd he get 135 00:07:23.110 --> 00:07:23.759 to Columbus? 136 00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:25.230 The brother came and got him. 137 00:07:25.250 --> 00:07:27.050 Okay, and what's the brother's name? 138 00:07:30.889 --> 00:07:31.810 I'm trying to remember. 139 00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:34.660 I've never met him. 140 00:07:36.069 --> 00:07:40.459 This is what you'd call a loose-knit family. Grandpa had 141 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.220 been living with the family for about four years before 142 00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:47.569 his health started to decline at a faster rate. Apparently, 143 00:07:47.689 --> 00:07:50.389 he didn't want to be a burden, so his brother 144 00:07:50.509 --> 00:07:54.050 came to get him. But there were two versions of 145 00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:57.970 when he left and where he went. Nina said he 146 00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:02.209 left at Christmas and went to Cincinnati. On the other hand, 147 00:08:02.269 --> 00:08:05.209 Brittany said he left during the second week of January 148 00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:09.680 and went to Columbus. Although Brittany and Grandpa's brother came 149 00:08:09.689 --> 00:08:12.339 to the house to pick him up, she had never 150 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:16.829 met the man and couldn't even remember his name. But 151 00:08:16.870 --> 00:08:20.120 Brittany said Grandpa couldn't have left on his own. 152 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.360 You said you were told. Who told you that he moved? 153 00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:26.199 My husband. 154 00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:27.300 Okay. 155 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.660 And you said he doesn't drive. Why doesn't he drive? 156 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.360 Because he wrecked the SUV in 2020 because he had Parkinson's. 157 00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:39.659 So he shook real bad. So? He decided to quit 158 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.610 driving after that. 159 00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:41.309 Okay. 160 00:08:41.389 --> 00:08:42.289 He decided that? 161 00:08:42.309 --> 00:08:42.470 Yes. 162 00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:42.690 Okay. 163 00:08:42.870 --> 00:08:43.129 Okay. 164 00:08:44.110 --> 00:08:47.710 Um, so having Parkinson's, did you guys have to, like, 165 00:08:47.750 --> 00:08:48.809 take care of him a bunch? 166 00:08:50.230 --> 00:08:54.009 Um, yes and no. I mean, he was up walking. Like, 167 00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:56.740 the only thing I would have to do is remind 168 00:08:56.769 --> 00:08:59.080 him to take his

medicine. Okay. 169 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.240 If Grandpa had moved out and gone to Columbus, somebody 170 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.279 had to come and get him. To physically take him there. 171 00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:10.679 Neither Brittany or her daughter had seen any of this 172 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:15.190 for themselves. Brittany was simply repeating what her husband had 173 00:09:15.250 --> 00:09:18.490 told her. And at first you might think, so what? 174 00:09:18.789 --> 00:09:22.289 So Grandpa moved out. People move out all the time. 175 00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:26.840 There was no reason for police to get involved. Except 176 00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:31.720 that earlier that night, their daughter's friend had called in 177 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.289 with a very different story. According to her, Grandpa hadn't 178 00:09:37.330 --> 00:09:42.269 moved at all. She said he was dead. And she 179 00:09:42.320 --> 00:10:16.120 told them exactly where to look. On February 10th, 2025, 180 00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:21.320 the police started asking questions about an 80-year-old grandfather who 181 00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:25.779 was living with his son's family in Zanesville, Ohio. The 182 00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:30.539 household included him, his son, David Jr., David's wife Brittany, 183 00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:36.700 their daughter Nina, and Nina's boyfriend. According to Brittany and Nina, 184 00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:40.860 Grandpa had moved to his brother's place because he knew 185 00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:43.490 he was going downhill and didn't want to be a burden. 186 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.080 But the stories about when and where he left were 187 00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:53.620 very different. His granddaughter said he went to Cincinnati around Christmas. 188 00:10:54.590 --> 00:10:58.289 But Brittany said he went to Columbus in January. The 189 00:10:58.330 --> 00:11:03.049 thing is, neither of them actually saw him leave. But 190 00:11:03.110 --> 00:11:06.950 now it was February 10th, and police found themselves answering 191 00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:09.830 a call claiming that maybe Grandpa had never left the 192 00:11:09.870 --> 00:11:14.950 property at all. So, They had a few questions for Brittany. 193 00:11:15.690 --> 00:11:16.029 All right. 194 00:11:16.049 --> 00:11:19.450 So what did officers say to you when they came and. 195 00:11:19.409 --> 00:11:20.129 Knocked on your door? 196 00:11:20.809 --> 00:11:23.370 They said that they had received a call that their 197 00:11:23.389 --> 00:11:25.590 grandfather had passed away and his body had been moved 198 00:11:25.629 --> 00:11:30.049 to this shed. And I was completely confused. One officer 199 00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:33.169 even mentioned that I had a confused look on my face. 200 00:11:33.250 --> 00:11:35.970 I had no idea why they were there. Okay. 201 00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:38.730 Did you tell them that they could go look around? 202 00:11:38.970 --> 00:11:39.490 Yes, I did. 203 00:11:39.509 --> 00:11:40.149 Okay. 204 00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:47.169 Um, So you were kind of shocked at that. 205 00:11:47.470 --> 00:11:49.019 Who do you think they would have gotten a call 206 00:11:49.059 --> 00:11:49.700 like that from? 207 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.779 They told me who they got the call from. 208 00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.679 And who was that? Did they tell you more than 209 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:56.179 they told me? 210 00:11:57.179 --> 00:12:00.000 It's one of my daughter's friends, well, used to be friends. 211 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.029 We've had a lot of issues with her. She gave her, like, 212 00:12:03.090 --> 00:12:05.129 all kinds of hoodies when they were in eighth grade. 213 00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:07.730 And she got a hold of me and was like, well, 214 00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:10.409 I want it back, or I'm pressing charges for theft. 215 00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:13.379 And I'm like, well, it was in eighth grade. They're 216 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:17.000 just going to tell you that you should have. I 217 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.259 ended up giving her $ 150 for a black Nike hat 218 00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:20.299 that my daughter lost. 219 00:12:21.210 --> 00:12:22.210 Okay. 220 00:12:22.850 --> 00:12:24.090 So who was that? 221 00:12:25.129 --> 00:12:25.850 Emily Walls. 222 00:12:26.289 --> 00:12:29.250 The call came in just after 10 p.m. from Emily, 223 00:12:29.789 --> 00:12:32.750 who said that she was in charge of a big secret. 224 00:12:33.509 --> 00:12:34.090 What's going on? 225 00:12:35.490 --> 00:12:39.889 Well, I got a call from my friend. I got 226 00:12:39.990 --> 00:12:44.649 called back in the He died and got put in 227 00:12:45.330 --> 00:12:49.379 the shed of the back of their house. 228 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.779 And that's on Summer Street? Yeah. 229 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.139 Okay. 230 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.139 This was a girl who said she knew Nina, the 231 00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:03.620 Coles' daughter. She heard it from her best friend, who 232 00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.519 stayed with the Coles for about a week, and heard 233 00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.580 it from Nina herself. 234 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:08.960 So. 235 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:14.279 The shocking information came from three teenage girls who knew 236 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.649 if there was any truth to it. 237 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.399 I don't remember the name of the parent. 238 00:13:20.210 --> 00:13:21.009 Okay. 239 00:13:21.629 --> 00:13:26.990 Because I used to stay over there. And you got 240 00:13:27.049 --> 00:13:30.509 a text, you said? I got a call and text, 241 00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:34.299 but I've been blocked because I told her I was 242 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.820 calling the cops because she was begging me not to 243 00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:41.340 tell anybody. I'm just afraid they might try to move 244 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.120 the body now. 245 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.019 There was

another reason the dead body in the shed 246 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.059 could have been dismissed as gossip. Brittany told detectives that 247 00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:54.039 both the caller and the cousin had fallen out with 248 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.129 the family. Emily called 911, but she got the information 249 00:13:59.269 --> 00:14:01.950 from her best friend and Nina's cousin. 250 00:14:02.809 --> 00:14:06.950 Emily Walsh, they told me that she called and said this. 251 00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:08.669 Why would she have said this? 252 00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:10.799 I honestly have no idea. 253 00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:12.360 Okay. 254 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.379 Well, how would she know information like that? Has she 255 00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:20.519 been over at your house recently to have even started 256 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.799 some kind of a rumor like that? 257 00:14:23.350 --> 00:14:24.950 No, but her best friend has. 258 00:14:24.970 --> 00:14:26.649 And who's her best friend? 259 00:14:26.850 --> 00:14:31.230 Nevaeh Stroud. She also had a falling out with my... 260 00:14:31.110 --> 00:14:33.409 She actually used to live with... She was there for 261 00:14:33.429 --> 00:14:38.169 like a week. She didn't pick up after herself. She 262 00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:42.840 didn't clean... And so we asked her to politely leave. 263 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.700 We're like, Emily? 264 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:44.940 No, Nevaeh. 265 00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:45.639 Oh, Nevaeh. 266 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.259 Okay. 267 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.720 And she was very not okay with it. And she 268 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.139 was very upset that we kicked her out. And I'm like, 269 00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:58.429 I'm not your maid. I can't. You're 18 years old. 270 00:14:58.470 --> 00:14:59.210 You are an adult. 271 00:14:59.590 --> 00:15:00.350 Right. 272 00:15:00.730 --> 00:15:02.370 I didn't even make her pay rent. I was like, 273 00:15:02.389 --> 00:15:03.889 the only thing I ask is that you help clean 274 00:15:03.929 --> 00:15:06.009 around the house if you want to be living here. 275 00:15:06.029 --> 00:15:06.389 Right. 276 00:15:06.710 --> 00:15:07.070 Makes sense. 277 00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:07.789 Right. Right. 278 00:15:09.090 --> 00:15:11.509 We spoke to the detective who took over the case 279 00:15:11.549 --> 00:15:15.600 that night. Even he was a bit dubious about whether 280 00:15:15.629 --> 00:15:17.000 the girls were telling the truth. 281 00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:21.259 I am Detective Brian Ruff. I work with the Zanesville 282 00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:27.139 Police Department. I've been in the Detective Bureau since 2018. 283 00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:29.009 I've been with Zanesville. 284 00:15:28.549 --> 00:15:31.210 PD for a little over 13 years now. 285 00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:38.809 I do general case detective work, so anything from an 286 00:15:38.830 --> 00:15:42.309 F5 drug possession to murder. 287 00:15:43.529 --> 00:15:46.269 Detective Ruff wasn't one of the officers who knocked on 288 00:15:46.309 --> 00:15:49.620 Brittany and David's door that night, but he clearly remembers 289 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.639 what happened. 290 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.399 Initially, when the officers went there and the sergeant went there, 291 00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:58.429 it wasn't, we thought it was, They thought it was 292 00:15:58.470 --> 00:16:01.029 a hoax. I mean, you wouldn't normally get a knock 293 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.259 at your door, hey, can we check your property for 294 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.919 a dead body? But, I mean, that was the information 295 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.320 they had and when they did it and was told, sure, 296 00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:12.360 go check out our shed. And they were pretty shocked 297 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.169 to find what they found back there. 298 00:16:15.669 --> 00:16:18.169 Still a little doubtful, the officers made their way to 299 00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:21.690 the back of the ranch home. As they approached, they 300 00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:25.750 spot an old mattress leaning against something. It's covered in 301 00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:29.960 a dark stain that's shaped like a body. They see 302 00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:35.240 a small tan building. Inside, the air is still and heavy. 303 00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:40.620 A flashlight beam shines inside the musty shed, catching all 304 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:47.139 the floating particles of dust in the air. Then, they 305 00:16:47.210 --> 00:16:51.850 see a long shape covered in plastic. It's too deliberate 306 00:16:51.870 --> 00:16:55.190 to be random. and takes up a lot of space. 307 00:16:56.490 --> 00:16:58.529 All they have to do is shine a light to 308 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:06.900 see what's inside. A blanket and a large plastic mattress bag. Inside, 309 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.119 there's a man, just like the caller said there would be. 310 00:17:12.549 --> 00:17:17.589 It's 80-year-old David Cole Sr., the grandfather who had supposedly 311 00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:22.589 moved to Cincinnati or Columbus or whatever. He had, in fact, 312 00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:28.099 never left the property. Finding Grandpa's body answered one question, 313 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:32.710 but begged an even bigger one. If he had never 314 00:17:32.809 --> 00:17:37.869 moved out, then what had actually happened inside that house? 315 00:17:39.289 --> 00:17:41.450 The only way to find out was to bring the 316 00:17:41.549 --> 00:17:44.890 entire family into the police department, collect their phones, and 317 00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:50.900 work on a timeline. Almost immediately, Brittany's story changed. 318 00:17:51.789 --> 00:17:55.059 After I got done with the juvenile interviews, I released 319 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.640 the juveniles to parents. And then I went into interviewing 320 00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:04.660 Brittany Cole. In the first interview, especially in

cases like this, 321 00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:09.529 we're certain that we're not going to get all of 322 00:18:09.970 --> 00:18:15.769 the truth. So I went in there, talked to her, 323 00:18:16.349 --> 00:18:19.680 got a consent for the extraction of her cell phone. 324 00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:22.660 My sergeant sat in on that one because he does 325 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.319 the data extractions of the phones. 326 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:27.740 So she told us. 327 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.630 Some truths, but for the most part, it was he 328 00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:38.549 had only been deceased for a couple of days. He 329 00:18:38.589 --> 00:18:41.549 died of natural causes. We were taking care of him, 330 00:18:41.630 --> 00:18:43.680 and I thought my husband had taken care of it. 331 00:18:44.190 --> 00:18:47.480 I didn't realize that he was out. 332 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:47.819 In the shed. 333 00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:52.049 Brittany was treating this like it was completely ordinary to 334 00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:54.559 have an 80-year-old man die in the house and then 335 00:18:54.579 --> 00:19:00.059 just leave the rest to her husband. Apparently, at some point, 336 00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:05.319 that meant moving Grandpa's body out to the shed. Problem is, 337 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:10.319 this isn't an 18th century frontier settlement where families bury 338 00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:12.799 their dead on their own property because nobody else is around. 339 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:19.009 This is 2025 Zanesville, Ohio. And Putting Grandpa in the 340 00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:23.150 shed isn't really part of the death process. At least, 341 00:19:23.930 --> 00:19:28.089 not the one we accept in modern society. According to Brittany, 342 00:19:28.750 --> 00:19:32.369 Grandpa had died naturally only a few days earlier, and 343 00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:37.089 whatever happened after that was mostly her husband's doing. Brittany 344 00:19:37.130 --> 00:19:40.910 wasn't the only one changing her story. In Nina's first interview, 345 00:19:41.130 --> 00:19:45.130 she said Grandpa moved to Cincinnati. She didn't see him leave. 346 00:19:46.150 --> 00:19:49.140 She didn't know much more than that. But when did 347 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.339 it happen? Ruff brought Nina back in, he told her 348 00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:56.380 he already knew she hadn't been honest. 349 00:19:57.140 --> 00:20:00.200 But I need to know what you know. So I 350 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.700 need you to be 100% honest with me. And you 351 00:20:04.779 --> 00:20:06.980 can't say, I know you lied to me. 352 00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:08.240 Right? 353 00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:08.940 And I can't. 354 00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:13.779 You can't say you don't know anything. 355 00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:15.680 Because I know that you do. 356 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.779 So I didn't know about the situation. 357 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.569 But when my dad told me that he wasn't going 358 00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:27.250 to call the cops, we were basically just abiding by him. 359 00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:31.789 And from my past with guys, it really scares me, 360 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.440 like dealing in situation with guys and whatnot. And they 361 00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:38.730 just kept telling me, they were like, tell people he's 362 00:20:38.789 --> 00:20:39.589 in Cincinnati. 363 00:20:39.630 --> 00:20:40.829 People don't need to know. 364 00:20:41.529 --> 00:20:43.470 And, you know, he like, he really scares me with 365 00:20:43.509 --> 00:20:47.910 his anger issues. And he's on medicine and everything. But 366 00:20:47.990 --> 00:20:51.109 there's just like sometimes that he like gets over aggressive 367 00:20:51.309 --> 00:20:52.789 and like really scares me. 368 00:20:54.170 --> 00:20:57.730 So Nina, after all, knew that her grandpa had died. 369 00:20:58.789 --> 00:21:02.849 She said David Jr., her stepdad, scared her. Blame the 370 00:21:02.890 --> 00:21:06.200 big scary man, I guess. He said he didn't want 371 00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:09.059 to call the police and told her not to tell anyone, 372 00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.099 just to tell them that Grandpa had moved out of 373 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.160 the house. But that was a big, heavy secret to 374 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.700 be carrying around for a teenage girl. And Nina wanted 375 00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.299 a way out. 376 00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:25.019 And I knew it would have been the right thing 377 00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:28.119 to do. So I told, I knew it was going 378 00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:28.539 to happen. 379 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:29.880 I told my friend, Nate. 380 00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:33.569 And Emily had ended up finding out. And she was 381 00:21:33.589 --> 00:21:34.880 the one who called you guys. 382 00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:36.200 Right. 383 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:37.640 So, nay is Nevaeh. 384 00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.740 Nevaeh, yes. 385 00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.859 Stroud, correct. 386 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.059 Yes. 387 00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:43.519 And I told her in hopes that you guys would 388 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:46.599 find out because I don't want to be that person 389 00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:48.920 and keep that secret and whatnot, and it scares me. 390 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:55.269 Nina deliberately let the secret out, hoping someone would tell 391 00:21:56.109 --> 00:21:59.869 because it was just too much for a depressed 16-year-old 392 00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:05.119 to be burdened with. Fortunately, her strategy worked. But now 393 00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:09.160 Detective Ruff hoped her mother, Brittany, would shed more light 394 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.440 on what she knew. 395 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.240 We don't want to think that anybody's a bad person 396 00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:14.180 or a monster or anything. 397 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:20.059 But when we look at things based upon evidence and. 398 00:22:20.000 -->

00:22:24.220 What we're getting at, that, you know, we need to 399 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:26.700 know up front what the truth is. And you sit 400 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.579 there and you don't tell the truth 100%. 401 00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:32.119 How do you think that makes that person? 402 00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:35.619 You know what I mean? Yes, I understand. 403 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:40.759 So, in situations like these, like he just said, with DNA, 404 00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:46.039 like everybody's always transferring everything, you know, he's wrapped in 405 00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:47.180 plastic out in their shit. 406 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.299 Okay? 407 00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.400 He's what? 408 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:50.680 Yeah. 409 00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:54.240 Let's just cut to the chase. We're not going to, 410 00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:58.140 I'm going to sit here, and don't act like you're surprised. 411 00:22:58.619 --> 00:23:00.859 I am surprised. I thought he moved to Columbus. 412 00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:01.299 You're not. 413 00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:02.500 Listen. 414 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:02.640 Listen. 415 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.559 I've been doing this for about 20 years now. And 416 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.579 maybe this wasn't your idea from when it began. Here's 417 00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:14.799 a chance to say, here's what really happened. 418 00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:19.190 I mean, crap is a lie that he moved to 419 00:23:19.230 --> 00:23:19.789 come to listen. 420 00:23:21.609 --> 00:23:23.190 We're going to talk to some people and they're going 421 00:23:23.230 --> 00:23:26.170 to say, anybody with half a brain would know that 422 00:23:26.190 --> 00:23:27.690 that's a bullshit story. 423 00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:30.690 And I'm not here to make you feel bad. And 424 00:23:30.730 --> 00:23:33.519 I know whatever happened, happened. You can't change it. The 425 00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:37.940 only thing you can do now is be honest. There's 426 00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:40.180 a man in your. 427 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:43.519 Father-in-law that you care about, that you say that you 428 00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:44.099 care about. 429 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.660 If you really care about him. 430 00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:48.400 Then you'd probably tell the truth. If you don't, I 431 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:49.809 really don't care. 432 00:23:49.869 --> 00:23:51.269 That's something that you're going to have to live with. 433 00:23:52.650 --> 00:23:55.789 The detectives weren't buying the idea that Brittany had simply 434 00:23:55.930 --> 00:23:59.829 been blindsided by a body turning up in her own shed. 435 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.900 So they kept trying to figure out exactly what she 436 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.190 knew and when she knew it. 437 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.910 So what happened to him? 438 00:24:08.529 --> 00:24:10.170 He passed away of natural causes. 439 00:24:10.849 --> 00:24:11.470 How do you know that? 440 00:24:11.970 --> 00:24:12.839 Because I found him. 441 00:24:13.690 --> 00:24:14.529 Where did you find him at? 442 00:24:14.910 --> 00:24:15.369 In his bed. 443 00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:17.009 Where was his bed at? 444 00:24:17.609 --> 00:24:18.509 Last room on the right. 445 00:24:19.430 --> 00:24:20.750 Did you guys take the carpet out? 446 00:24:21.269 --> 00:24:22.140 My husband did. 447 00:24:22.470 --> 00:24:22.769 Why? 448 00:24:23.470 --> 00:24:25.329 Dad, I have no idea. I wasn't home when he 449 00:24:25.349 --> 00:24:25.670 did it. 450 00:24:26.470 --> 00:24:27.609 Why didn't you just call the. 451 00:24:29.309 --> 00:24:29.730 Call us? 452 00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:33.309 She didn't want to tell her husband he was now 453 00:24:33.369 --> 00:24:33.710 an orphan. 454 00:24:35.089 --> 00:24:35.589 Confusing, right? 455 00:24:35.609 --> 00:24:36.950 The detective was confused about her response, also. 456 00:24:36.990 --> 00:24:37.410 He was dealing. 457 00:24:38.890 --> 00:24:41.170 With adults, after all. Brittany was 37, and her husband. 458 00:24:41.190 --> 00:25:04.640 The orphan, was 44. Like he said, people die every day. 459 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.039 But detectives realized in this interview with David that Brittany 460 00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:15.240 wasn't exaggerating. David took his mother's death really hard, and 461 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.569 she was afraid his dad's death would devastate him. 462 00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:23.619 I just, he was the last thing I had left 463 00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:27.980 in this world. And when he was, with him being gone, 464 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:33.160 all I had was her. I just had her. I know, 465 00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:36.859 I know it sounds... I can't... Don't you have two sons? 466 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:41.440 They don't talk to me, and for good reason. I 467 00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:43.130 had cut them out a long time ago. 468 00:25:44.410 --> 00:25:48.410 See, Brittany was his fourth wife. He didn't seem to 469 00:25:48.450 --> 00:25:52.329 have a good track record with marriages. And it appeared 470 00:25:52.349 --> 00:25:55.900 his sons may have had to pay the price. But 471 00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:59.819 whatever David Jr. 's emotional state, detectives... still had a 472 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:03.900 dead man wrapped in plastic in a shed. And they 473 00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.920 still didn't have a straight answer of how or why 474 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:08.589 he got there. 475 00:26:09.369 --> 00:26:10.549 That was his last appearance. 476 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.400 So why? 477 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:14.529 That doesn't make any sense. 478 00:26:14.789 --> 00:26:15.950 Why wouldn't he. 479 00:26:15.829 --> 00:26:18.869 Call the police and say, hey, you passed away? 480 00:26:19.430 --> 00:26:21.089 You know what I mean? 481 00:26:21.109 --> 00:26:21.710 You found him? 482 00:26:22.349 --> 00:26:22.670 Yes, sir. 483 00:26:22.829 --> 00:26:23.569 How did you find him? 484

00:26:23.589 --> 00:26:26.609 I went in to make sure he took his morning meds. 485 00:26:27.829 --> 00:26:32.980 Okay. Okay. So if you found him and you say 486 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.680 he died of natural causes, how. 487 00:26:34.579 --> 00:26:37.460 Do you know he died of natural causes? I just assumed. 488 00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:42.680 Brittany admitted finding Grandpa dead and eventually telling David, but 489 00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:46.619 she reported having no idea how he got moved to 490 00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:49.740 the shed after David said he'd take care of things. 491 00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.089 So if your DNA is not going to be on 492 00:26:53.109 --> 00:26:56.990 there and you don't think your daughter's big enough to 493 00:26:57.029 --> 00:26:58.089 be able to move a body. 494 00:26:58.809 --> 00:27:00.549 So if it wasn't you and you don't think your 495 00:27:00.569 --> 00:27:01.210 daughter could. 496 00:27:01.089 --> 00:27:03.549 Do it, who does that leave? 497 00:27:03.569 --> 00:27:05.950 My husband. Okay. 498 00:27:06.670 --> 00:27:09.259 Do you think your husband is capable of killing someone? 499 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:14.660 He was overseas and that's what he did. But his 500 00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:17.200 own dad, I'm not. I mean, I don't think he would. 501 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.980 But I don't know. 502 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:24.259 Even though Brittany was the one to discover Grandpa had died, 503 00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:26.859 she said she wasn't the one who had wrapped him 504 00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:30.619 in plastic. She maintained that her husband had done this 505 00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:33.519 while she was at school, after he said he would 506 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.900 handle everything, including making the necessary calls and arrangements. 507 00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.559 Well, let's not, we're. 508 00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:42.500 Not here to, we're not here to assume we're going 509 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:44.720 to just... It would have been him because he ordered it. 510 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.039 Off of Amazon. Ordered the plastic? 511 00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:48.539 Yes. 512 00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:50.200 And I targeted that. 513 00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.180 Because he told me he did, but he didn't tell 514 00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:54.029 me what it was for. 515 00:27:55.509 --> 00:27:57.410 So you go to school Monday through Friday. 516 00:27:57.769 --> 00:27:58.190 Yes, sir. 517 00:27:58.250 --> 00:28:01.039 You've found him was it close. 518 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.339 To the weekend was it like first thing monday morning 519 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.019 oh we're starting the week. 520 00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:07.200 Off with i want to say it was like a 521 00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:08.740 monday or a tuesday morning. 522 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.900 Okay how long did he lay in that bed before 523 00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:14.230 the the plastic showed up. 524 00:28:14.670 --> 00:28:17.670 And he

was moved that i'm not sure you live 525 00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:19.609 in the house you come home every night. 526 00:28:20.190 --> 00:28:23.509 I if i had to guesstimate maybe a week so 527 00:28:23.609 --> 00:28:26.130 he laid in the house for a week How long 528 00:28:26.190 --> 00:28:28.299 did it take to order the plastic and for the 529 00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:30.299 plastic to get there? Two days. 530 00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.039 Okay. 531 00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:32.299 The old prime members? 532 00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.220 Yes. 533 00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:36.339 Okay. You didn't help put him in the plastic? 534 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:37.759 No. Okay. 535 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:39.299 Did you help carry him to the shed? 536 00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.099 No. 537 00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.200 You did? 538 00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:44.140 As far as I know, it was just my husband. 539 00:28:45.470 --> 00:28:49.069 There was another reason detectives would start to suspect David Jr. 540 00:28:50.069 --> 00:28:52.789 His father's money kept running the house. 541 00:28:53.890 --> 00:28:57.920 And they didn't have... full-time jobs. I mean, David Jr. 542 00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:05.920 And Brittany, they, I think they did like door dash. 543 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.089 They were door dashing. He went to school full-time, but 544 00:29:10.750 --> 00:29:14.450 David Jr. wasn't, he wasn't employed by anyone other than 545 00:29:14.470 --> 00:29:16.950 the door dashing. So they didn't really have a source 546 00:29:16.990 --> 00:29:19.470 of income other than his father. And that's why they 547 00:29:19.529 --> 00:29:20.160 needed to keep him. 548 00:29:21.329 --> 00:29:24.549 To be fair, David admitted in his interview that They 549 00:29:24.589 --> 00:29:29.069 were essentially his dad's caretakers. So some of his monthly 550 00:29:29.150 --> 00:29:32.769 checks were spent on wound care, bed rails, things like that. 551 00:29:33.809 --> 00:29:35.869 He also said his dad was happy to give him 552 00:29:35.910 --> 00:29:38.309 part of his Social Security checks to help him with 553 00:29:38.329 --> 00:29:42.220 the bills. But there was a little more to it 554 00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:48.539 than that. Although his dad was hardworking, David Jr. lacked ambition. 555 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.690 By all accounts, when he wasn't door dashing, he was 556 00:29:53.730 --> 00:29:59.150 just sitting around playing video games and watching TV. Sound familiar? 557 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.319 So when he would get his monthly checks, what would 558 00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:04.819 you do with it? 559 00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:10.559 I mean, use it to outpay the bills or anything, 560 00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:13.769 to add electricity, water, whatnot. 561 00:30:14.130 --> 00:30:17.529 So you guys used it to maintain the household and 562 00:30:17.569 --> 00:30:18.269 your lifestyle? 563 00:30:18.849 --> 00:30:20.369 Somewhat, yeah. Okay. 564 00:30:21.430 --> 00:30:24.150 Obviously, we didn't find him until earlier this week. You 565 00:30:24.190 --> 00:30:27.319 would have gotten checks for him in January, and he 566 00:30:27.339 --> 00:30:28.390 was already deceased. 567 00:30:28.900 --> 00:30:29.160 Yes, sir. 568 00:30:32.609 --> 00:30:33.549 Did you spend that money? 569 00:30:34.829 --> 00:30:35.170 Yes, sir. 570 00:30:35.650 --> 00:30:35.990 Okay. 571 00:30:37.269 --> 00:30:40.690 Here, it's clear the Coles didn't just rely on Grandpa's 572 00:30:40.730 --> 00:30:44.829 Social Security while he was alive. They cashed his final 573 00:30:44.930 --> 00:30:49.670 check after he was gone, then spent the money. And 574 00:30:49.710 --> 00:30:53.539 that played into the timeline of when exactly Grandpa died. 575 00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:57.599 According to Brittany, the family spent Christmas together at the house, 576 00:30:57.740 --> 00:31:02.759 then On December 26th, the day after Christmas, Brittany, her husband, 577 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.380 and daughter Nina left for a planned trip to Orlando. 578 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:12.559 Grandpa stayed behind. Nina's boyfriend allegedly came and went from 579 00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:16.019 the house, and Brittany claimed he was checking in on 580 00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.700 Grandpa and the dogs while they were gone. The family 581 00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:22.779 drove back from Florida on New Year's Eve and arrived 582 00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:27.339 on January 1st. She claimed that Grandpa died after they 583 00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.170 got back and She told David about it. But this 584 00:31:31.230 --> 00:31:33.769 is where the second version of Brittany's story starts. 585 00:31:34.609 --> 00:31:36.430 We asked him if he wanted to go, but he 586 00:31:36.470 --> 00:31:38.240 said it would be too much work to try to. 587 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.099 Okay. You guys get back from Florida. You guys all 588 00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:42.980 come back at the same time? 589 00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:43.400 Yes. 590 00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:43.920 Okay. 591 00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:46.069 And you guys get back New Year's Day. 592 00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.359 Yes. 593 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:48.089 You check on dad? 594 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.230 Yeah, he's fine. 595 00:31:49.410 --> 00:31:49.869 He's fine? 596 00:31:49.970 --> 00:31:50.250 Okay. 597 00:31:51.890 --> 00:31:54.130 Is he complaining about any ailments or anything like that? 598 00:31:54.470 --> 00:31:55.150 Just back pain. 599 00:31:55.529 --> 00:31:55.789 Okay. 600 00:31:55.910 --> 00:31:56.309 Which type? 601 00:31:57.109 --> 00:31:58.589 Wasn't nothing out of the ordinary. 602 00:31:58.869 --> 00:32:02.430 So tell me, when do you find out that Dad's passed? 603 00:32:03.289 --> 00:32:04.829 That's another thing I want to talk to you about. 604 00:32:04.890 --> 00:32:05.019 Yeah. 605 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:07.759 I wasn't the one that found him. I said I 606 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.119 was because I was a

jittery mess. Who found him? 607 00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:11.099 My husband. 608 00:32:11.619 --> 00:32:11.819 Okay. 609 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:12.839 And then what happens? 610 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:19.259 He calls me at school. He's not crying, but you 611 00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:20.460 can tell there's a little. 612 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.619 How. 613 00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:28.130 Do I want to describe this? He's upset, but not 614 00:32:28.230 --> 00:32:30.529 as upset as I thought he should have been. 615 00:32:30.750 --> 00:32:31.049 Okay. 616 00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:34.500 And he was like, I can't believe this happened. I 617 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.980 don't know what to do. And I'm like, what's going on? 618 00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:39.619 He's like, well, dad's gone. And I'm like, how do 619 00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:40.019 you know? 620 00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:40.859 Okay. 621 00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.940 And that's where I got the pulse from. He took 622 00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:46.789 his pulse. We're trained him to do the different pulses. 623 00:32:47.490 --> 00:32:48.109 So then what happens? 624 00:32:48.150 --> 00:32:49.009 Do you come home from school? 625 00:32:49.190 --> 00:32:50.930 I asked him if he wanted me to, and he 626 00:32:50.990 --> 00:32:54.910 said no. Because you can only miss 24 hours per 627 00:32:54.930 --> 00:32:58.819 term or you're kicked. I was like, are you sure? 628 00:32:58.859 --> 00:33:00.559 And he was like, no, I'll make what calls need 629 00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:03.859 to be made. And just, I'll see you when you 630 00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.119 get home. 631 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.400 Brittany claimed she had checked on Grandpa when they returned 632 00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:13.119 on New Year's Day. And according to her, he was fine. 633 00:33:13.269 --> 00:33:16.470 But in this new version of events, David finds his 634 00:33:16.529 --> 00:33:19.009 dad dead in bed on January 8th. 635 00:33:19.829 --> 00:33:20.170 A week. 636 00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:25.380 After the family returned from Florida. He calls Brittany, tells 637 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.619 her what happened, and says he'll take care of everything. 638 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.440 When Brittany gets home, she asks if it was handled. 639 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:38.910 David says yes. But it hasn't. Grandpa is still lying 640 00:33:38.970 --> 00:33:43.410 dead in his bedroom, getting colder by the hour. And 641 00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:48.470 there's no coroner in sight. Brittany says David won't let 642 00:33:48.490 --> 00:33:51.890 her go into Dad's bedroom. He's worried about her because 643 00:33:52.250 --> 00:33:55.380 she just suffered losses on her side of the family recently, 644 00:33:56.119 --> 00:34:00.579 and she's still grieving. But this is interesting because in 645 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.660 Brittany's first interview, she told detectives almost exactly the opposite. 646 00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:08.599 That she had found Grandpa dead and didn't want to 647 00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.480 tell David because she was protecting him after the death 648 00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:17.780 of his mother. No matter who initially found Grandpa passed away, 649 00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:21.619 Brittany claims she didn't even know where his body had 650 00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:24.920 gone until the day before police came knocking on the 651 00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:30.300 door on February 10th. By then, detectives had gone through 652 00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:34.469 both her and David's phones, and they'd seen video footage 653 00:34:34.530 --> 00:34:39.449 from inside the house. They've heard inconsistencies in Brittany's story, 654 00:34:39.530 --> 00:34:42.809 so they politely ask again. 655 00:34:43.969 --> 00:34:48.909 We're not here to play games, okay? Yeah. What do 656 00:34:48.929 --> 00:34:49.989 you think we found on your phone? 657 00:34:52.210 --> 00:34:53.949 Probably text messages. 658 00:34:53.969 --> 00:34:54.110 Okay. 659 00:34:54.210 --> 00:34:55.889 What text messages do you think we found? 660 00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:03.739 I had asked a friend of mine about body removal. 661 00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:04.940 Okay. 662 00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:10.820 Who's the friend? Caitlin. When was that? Was that on 663 00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:12.739 January 8th as soon as you found out? 664 00:35:14.110 --> 00:35:14.469 No. 665 00:35:14.510 --> 00:35:17.909 Remember, we know what's on your phone. We know the date. 666 00:35:17.989 --> 00:35:19.110 We want you to tell us. 667 00:35:19.110 --> 00:35:20.070 It was in December. 668 00:35:21.809 --> 00:35:23.070 So you knew in December? 669 00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.530 Wait. 670 00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:27.610 Why would she need to know about body removal in 671 00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:33.280 December when Grandpa was still alive? According to her, that is. 672 00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.639 I was asking how I go about it because I've 673 00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:39.980 never had to do that before and he works for 674 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.519 a mortician. 675 00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.760 Okay. 676 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.130 I wanted to get a sense of How I would 677 00:35:45.170 --> 00:35:46.590 go about it, just in case. 678 00:35:46.710 --> 00:35:51.909 Brittany, you realize that there is nobody on the face 679 00:35:51.989 --> 00:35:53.409 of this earth that is going to believe a story 680 00:35:53.449 --> 00:35:53.769 like that. 681 00:35:54.349 --> 00:35:57.130 You work in the health care system. 682 00:35:57.510 --> 00:35:57.710 Yes. 683 00:35:57.750 --> 00:36:00.780 You know when people die, what happens. 684 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.300 I'm saying at home, though, I've never experienced. 685 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:04.380 Be straight and honest with me. 686 00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:04.920 Yes, sir. 687 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.400 Before you guys take off to Florida, is he dead already? 688 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.099 Be straight

with me and be honest with me. Is 689 00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:10.820 he dead already? 690 00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:12.280 No, not that I was aware of, no. 691 00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:17.940 Grandpa wasn't dead, as far as she was aware. What 692 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.619 a weird response, right? Unless it was another lie, of course. 693 00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.900 No, no, no. Not that I was aware of. When 694 00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:30.519 you guys leave for Florida, is Dad dead? Be straight 695 00:36:30.539 --> 00:36:31.139 and honest with me. 696 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.619 It doesn't matter if you knew about Dad being dead 697 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.659 on the 8th, or if Dad was dead in October. 698 00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:39.590 It's still the same. Was Dad dead before you guys 699 00:36:39.610 --> 00:36:40.119 went to Florida? 700 00:36:40.699 --> 00:36:40.889 Yes. 701 00:36:41.219 --> 00:36:41.489 Okay. Okay. 702 00:36:41.869 --> 00:36:44.289 And I knew that answer, okay? That's why I'm trying 703 00:36:44.329 --> 00:36:46.650 to tell you. The camera that was in the living 704 00:36:46.670 --> 00:36:47.889 room and the kitchen, we have that. 705 00:36:48.570 --> 00:36:51.840 And it recorded, and we have everything that was on it. 706 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:55.760 So tell me about that. When do you find Dad dead? 707 00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:58.320 I know he's alive on the 23rd. 708 00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:03.309 It was, again, it wasn't me that found him. It 709 00:37:03.329 --> 00:37:05.429 was David, and it was Christmas morning. 710 00:37:06.269 --> 00:37:08.849 No, we're off of that, okay? 711 00:37:08.869 --> 00:37:12.139 Because on that camera, when David finds him, I can 712 00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:14.300 see it on that camera because he calls you at 713 00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:17.210 school and he says, how long has he been dead? 714 00:37:17.630 --> 00:37:22.650 You say three to five days. David says he's been 715 00:37:22.670 --> 00:37:26.309 dead longer than that. He's starting to decay. That's exactly 716 00:37:26.329 --> 00:37:28.980 what he says on there. So David does not find him. 717 00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:30.840 It was Christmas morning. Okay. 718 00:37:31.139 --> 00:37:31.960 Do you find him? 719 00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:32.599 Yes. 720 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:33.539 Tell me about that. 721 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:38.940 And just like that, the story shifted again. Grandpa had 722 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:41.239 been dead for more than six weeks by the time 723 00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:45.420 police found out and came to his door. Bodies start 724 00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:48.940 to decompose after just a few days, so you can 725 00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:52.929 imagine that when David finally opened the bedroom door, the 726 00:37:52.989 --> 00:37:57.969 stench would have been overwhelming, and the sight of his 727 00:37:58.050 --> 00:38:01.610 decaying flesh would have been just as bad. 728 00:38:02.670 --> 00:38:03.309 If not worse.

729 00:38:04.409 --> 00:38:06.809 And they had a camera pointing down their hallway. And 730 00:38:06.909 --> 00:38:09.340 we actually, we have the video, we have the point 731 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.659 in time when David Cole Jr. walks down the hallway 732 00:38:12.699 --> 00:38:17.360 and opens up the door to find his dad deceased 733 00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:24.590 and decomposing. I mean, he even called and asked Brittany, like, hey, 734 00:38:25.510 --> 00:38:29.789 what happened? And he even said, no, he's decomposing. He's 735 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.840 been dead longer than a couple of days, and then 736 00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:34.380 she even tries to lie to him. 737 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:40.000 Here is the camera footage and the audio it captured. 738 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:44.679 Oh my God, why did she do this? 739 00:38:48.030 --> 00:38:50.429 Oh my God. 740 00:39:08.619 --> 00:39:10.699 You know how your house smells when you've been on 741 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:16.079 vacation for a while? A little stuffy, dank, musty maybe? 742 00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:21.360 Have you ever had a mouse die in your house? Well, 743 00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:25.719 this was the body of a full-grown man, and it 744 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:28.739 had been lying there for nine days by the time 745 00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:32.539 they got back. David had his own version about what 746 00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:34.239 happened when they got back from Florida. 747 00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:38.539 Okay, so you change out the filter. 748 00:39:38.550 --> 00:39:39.889 Put in the air purifier. 749 00:39:39.909 --> 00:39:42.889 It's smelling real bad in there, and she's trying to 750 00:39:42.929 --> 00:39:43.809 mask the smell. 751 00:39:44.170 --> 00:39:45.389 You still don't go in and check? 752 00:39:45.730 --> 00:39:49.789 No, I still don't, but that's when I started to 753 00:39:49.829 --> 00:39:53.429 kind of get that that feeling like something wasn't right. 754 00:39:53.449 --> 00:39:58.289 And I just, I just shut it out. I just, okay, no. 755 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:03.840 And then I know it was a day when she 756 00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:08.960 was in school and everything was getting worse. There was flies, 757 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.920 there was the smell. I, um, I thought it couldn't be. 758 00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:16.800 Because, I mean, I. 759 00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:22.230 Just couldn't. but I forced myself. I was like, okay, no, 760 00:40:23.250 --> 00:40:25.710 I have to know. So I went in there. 761 00:40:27.369 --> 00:40:28.010 And, um, of. 762 00:40:29.550 --> 00:40:31.570 Course the lights were off. It was like a fucking 763 00:40:31.610 --> 00:40:43.260 horror movie. I lifted up the blanket and, um, I saw, 764 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.820 I mean, not well because I got off the lights off, 765 00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:49.900 but I, I saw, and I dropped the blanket real quick. 766 00:40:51.909 --> 00:40:53.510 and I freaked out. 767 00:40:55.030 -->

00:40:57.860 That's when he called Brittany at school and basically asked 768 00:40:57.900 --> 00:41:01.139 her what the hell was going on. He opened the 769 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:03.880 door and, in his own words, it was like a 770 00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:09.889 horror movie. Grandpa was dead, but he wasn't gone. He 771 00:41:09.929 --> 00:41:14.190 was just literally moved from room to room before finally 772 00:41:14.250 --> 00:41:18.349 landing in the shed. And the camera inside the house 773 00:41:18.489 --> 00:41:23.119 did confirm something important. when David finally opened the bedroom 774 00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:28.440 door on January 8th, he really did look shocked, like 775 00:41:28.579 --> 00:41:32.179 he had no idea. Which meant that his dad's body 776 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:36.559 had likely been in that bedroom from Christmas Day until 777 00:41:36.659 --> 00:41:42.989 January 8th. After that, David's decaying corpse lay in bed 778 00:41:43.050 --> 00:41:48.170 for another two or three days. Eventually, Brittany admitted she 779 00:41:48.230 --> 00:41:51.570 dragged her father-in-law out of the bedroom and down the hallway, 780 00:41:52.409 --> 00:41:55.190 and into the sunroom where he spent another two days. 781 00:41:56.750 --> 00:41:59.929 Brittany would eventually claim that David helped her wrap the 782 00:41:59.969 --> 00:42:04.190 body in plastic so they could move it outside. But 783 00:42:04.230 --> 00:42:09.030 David denied that. He admitted he knew what was going 784 00:42:09.130 --> 00:42:12.590 on after January 8th, but insisted Brittany did all the 785 00:42:12.670 --> 00:42:14.050 physical work herself. 786 00:42:14.909 --> 00:42:18.010 You didn't move anything. 787 00:42:18.130 --> 00:42:18.570 Bullshit. 788 00:42:18.590 --> 00:42:19.849 I moved the furniture, yes. 789 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:24.559 We have text messages between you and Junior where you said, 790 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:26.360 I can move it myself. 791 00:42:28.780 --> 00:42:34.280 Stop lying to us. Tell us the truth. Tell us 792 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:35.349 what happened with the body. 793 00:42:36.070 --> 00:42:37.429 He got moved and put in the sunroom. 794 00:42:38.309 --> 00:42:38.690 Okay. 795 00:42:40.030 --> 00:42:40.789 Tell us about that. 796 00:42:41.050 --> 00:42:41.809 Tell us about that. 797 00:42:41.989 --> 00:42:42.349 I mean. 798 00:42:43.530 --> 00:42:44.190 How long did. 799 00:42:44.750 --> 00:42:45.530 How did you get. 800 00:42:45.429 --> 00:42:47.090 Him from the bedroom to the sunroom? 801 00:42:47.750 --> 00:42:48.230 I drug him. 802 00:42:48.710 --> 00:42:49.820 You drug him? Yes, sir. 803 00:42:50.389 --> 00:42:50.750 Okay. 804 00:42:51.929 --> 00:42:53.949 Why are you still trying to throw your husband that 805 00:42:53.969 --> 00:42:55.670 you claim to love under the bus? 806 00:42:56.610 --> 00:42:57.590 Because he told me. 807 00:42:57.739 --> 00:42:58.599 Let me ask you this. 808 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.099 You're

You drug him from the bedroom 818 00:43:21.909 --> 00:43:22.570 to the sunroom. 819 00:43:22.869 --> 00:43:25.280 I only throw him under the bus because that's what 820 00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:25.840 he wanted. 821 00:43:25.889 --> 00:43:26.360 He said he. 822 00:43:26.409 --> 00:43:27.280 I don't give a shit. 823 00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:27.619 What he wants. 824 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:28.480 I want the truth. 825 00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:29.440 Yes, sir. 826 00:43:31.260 --> 00:43:34.519 Either way, detectives had finally pieced together what happened to 827 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:39.159 David Sr. 's body after he died. But was she 828 00:43:39.300 --> 00:43:42.639 also lying about what happened before he died? 829 00:43:42.659 --> 00:43:46.639 I mean, he was asking for Tylenol-like candy. Okay. And 830 00:43:46.699 --> 00:43:49.500 I suggested to him that he stop, and he's like, no. 831 00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:51.079 He's bedridden. 832 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.480 The only person that could have given him his Tylenol 833 00:43:53.539 --> 00:43:53.920 is you. 834 00:43:54.539 --> 00:43:56.860 Yes, that's what I just sat here and said. 835 00:43:58.059 --> 00:44:00.420 Did you give him something else that he doesn't usually 836 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.280 get the night before? 837 00:44:01.780 --> 00:44:04.260 No, the only thing I gave him was Tylenol and 838 00:44:04.429 --> 00:44:07.730 it was like Z-Quil to help him sleep because he 839 00:44:07.750 --> 00:44:09.130 complained he couldn't get to sleep. 840 00:44:10.929 --> 00:44:13.110 You said you gave him Z-Quil. How much Z-Quil did 841 00:44:13.130 --> 00:44:14.010 you give him? 842 00:44:14.030 --> 00:44:16.829 The recommended amount, which was I believe 15 milligrams. 843 00:44:18.389 --> 00:44:21.179 They weren't buying it. They had sat across from a 844 00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.780 woman who had changed her story so many times that 845 00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:26.440 it was like trying to pin Jell-O to the wall. 846 00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.099 Somebody who lies so easily, it's their first instinct. 847 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:33.840 Be straight honest with me. I can tell you want 848 00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:35.610 to tell me what happened to him. 849 00:44:35.909 --> 00:44:37.030 It was the sequel. 850 00:44:37.190 --> 00:44:38.829 The sequel? Tell me about that. 851 00:44:39.449 --> 00:44:40.449 I gave him one coat. 852 00:44:40.730 --> 00:44:41.130 Okay. 853 00:44:41.690 --> 00:44:43.590 And an hour later, he asked for another. 854 00:44:43.769 --> 00:44:44.170 Okay. 855 00:44:44.349 --> 00:44:46.730 I said I didn't feel it safe. Okay. He said 856 00:44:46.750 --> 00:44:48.010 he didn't care, and I gave him this. 857 00:44:48.769 --> 00:44:52.789 Okay, so he had two things as equal. Is that 858 00:44:52.809 --> 00:44:55.650 why David says, what did she do to him? Is 859 00:44:55.690 --> 00:44:57.090 that why he says that on the video? 860 00:44:57.110 --> 00:44:59.690 Other than that, I didn't, I can promise you, other 861 00:44:59.710 --> 00:45:01.380 than that, I didn't do anything else to him. 862 00:45:02.980 --> 00:45:07.260 But she continued, much like her earlier stories. I found him. 863 00:45:08.019 --> 00:45:12.380 I didn't find him. David did. I was protecting David. No, 864 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.679 he was protecting me. Grandpa died of natural causes. 865 00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:16.440 Maybe. 866 00:45:16.940 --> 00:45:21.010 Maybe I overdosed him. How do you even make sense 867 00:45:21.070 --> 00:45:22.530 of a story like this? 868 00:45:23.409 --> 00:45:27.690 Okay, so 3,000 milligrams of Tylenol and a double dose 869 00:45:27.750 --> 00:45:28.469 of Z-Quil. 870 00:45:29.070 --> 00:45:31.309 And he makes the comment, I want to go see 871 00:45:31.349 --> 00:45:31.769 my wife. 872 00:45:32.010 --> 00:45:32.429 Yes, sir. 873 00:45:32.949 --> 00:45:36.400 Okay. He'd been down and depressed since she died. Okay. 874 00:45:36.860 --> 00:45:39.039 Listen, let me throw this at you. Yes, sir. 875 00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:40.440 Did you do anything else to that man? 876 00:45:40.949 --> 00:45:41.550 No, I did not. 877 00:45:41.630 --> 00:45:42.400 Be straight with me. 878 00:45:42.409 --> 00:45:43.320 I am being straight with you. 879 00:45:43.329 --> 00:45:46.800 Because if you gave him Z-Quil, or you gave him Percocet, 880 00:45:46.969 --> 00:45:49.719 or you gave him, I don't know, cocaine, heroin, anything. 881 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.300 Okay, that doesn't change anything. We're still at the same 882 00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:52.840 spot where. 883 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:53.900 We're at, okay? 884 00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:57.019 Because me giving somebody some Z-Quil, I'm not going to 885 00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:57.579 be thinking. 886 00:45:57.699 --> 00:46:00.199 Oh, crap, man, I've got to hide a body and 887 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:03.300 all that other stuff. That's not how people think. So 888 00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:06.780 what happened to him? It's like some NyQuil is not 889 00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:07.480 going to kill somebody. 890 00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:08.099 It's not. 891 00:46:08.659 --> 00:46:10.340 It's not. It's not. 892 00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:11.639 So NyQuil's not going to kill somebody. 893 00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:12.079 It's not. 894 00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:14.900 So tell me, what'd you give to him,

or what 895 00:46:14.940 --> 00:46:15.420 else happened? 896 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:20.320 I just gave him the Tylenol. It had codeine in it. 897 00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:22.719 Okay, so now we're doing Tylenol codeine. So tell me 898 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:23.460 what you gave him. 899 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:28.969 Tylenol is one thing, but Tylenol with codeine, otherwise known 900 00:46:29.030 --> 00:46:34.929 as Tylenol 3, is another. Codeine is an opioid and 901 00:46:35.389 --> 00:46:39.789 will suppress the central nervous system. including slowing the breathing 902 00:46:39.849 --> 00:46:45.130 and heart rate down, possibly to dangerous levels. Then you 903 00:46:45.190 --> 00:46:50.199 add a little Z-Quil, which does the same thing, only 904 00:46:50.409 --> 00:46:55.639 without the opioid. But when combined, the Z-Quil enhances the 905 00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:59.599 effects of the codeine. Just for good measure, they asked 906 00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:00.039 her again. 907 00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:08.170 How much? It was like three or four cups of 908 00:47:08.190 --> 00:47:08.730 this equal. 909 00:47:09.309 --> 00:47:09.670 Okay. 910 00:47:11.329 --> 00:47:13.190 So it wasn't 60 milliliters. 911 00:47:13.250 --> 00:47:14.949 It was probably 120. 912 00:47:14.949 --> 00:47:16.789 He kept complaining he couldn't sleep. 913 00:47:17.230 --> 00:47:19.250 And then at 11 o'clock, what did you give him? 914 00:47:19.269 --> 00:47:19.969 The rest of it. 915 00:47:20.550 --> 00:47:20.989 Wait a second. 916 00:47:21.010 --> 00:47:21.329 Wait a second. 917 00:47:21.369 --> 00:47:21.670 Bring it. 918 00:47:21.789 --> 00:47:22.590 Bring it. Bring it. 919 00:47:22.630 --> 00:47:25.590 Whoa, whoa, whoa. 920 00:47:25.630 --> 00:47:26.269 Let's stop here. 921 00:47:26.849 --> 00:47:27.150 Okay? 922 00:47:28.070 --> 00:47:32.030 You don't give a guy a freaking half gallon of NyQuil, 923 00:47:32.949 --> 00:47:37.250 a half bottle of Tylenol, And a quarter bottle of 924 00:47:38.329 --> 00:47:40.849 Tylenol 3 because you think he can't sleep. 925 00:47:41.809 --> 00:47:43.150 That's what he was telling me. 926 00:47:43.570 --> 00:47:44.969 But you know that that's not. 927 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:46.019 What's going to happen. 928 00:47:46.139 --> 00:47:46.500 I know. 929 00:47:46.539 --> 00:47:47.800 What happens, you. 930 00:47:47.699 --> 00:47:49.920 Knew what was going to happen with that concoction. 931 00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.099 And I tried to tell him that. I did. 932 00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:58.280 It's easy to imagine what that looked like. Brittany standing 933 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.880 over a frail man she said she loved like her 934 00:48:00.940 --> 00:48:05.539 own dad, feeding him massive amounts of sedatives and reading 935 00:48:05.579 --> 00:48:08.139 him the warning label about how it could be harmful 936 00:48:08.179 --> 00:48:11.010 or fatal. I don't think that's what happened. 937 00:48:11.969 --> 00:48:14.230 Do you? I gave him the medicine. 938 00:48:14.250 --> 00:48:15.070 Every time we get like this. 939 00:48:15.190 --> 00:48:16.269 Every time we get like this. 940 00:48:16.309 --> 00:48:17.610 You're like, man, this is what happened. 941 00:48:17.630 --> 00:48:18.289 This is what happened. 942 00:48:18.349 --> 00:48:20.010 And then what happens? 943 00:48:20.110 --> 00:48:21.889 We talk for another 20 minutes and then we come 944 00:48:21.909 --> 00:48:23.670 back and then, oh, hey, guess what? We're going to 945 00:48:23.690 --> 00:48:25.750 add this to it now. So what else did you 946 00:48:25.769 --> 00:48:26.070 give him? 947 00:48:26.570 --> 00:48:27.050 Okay. 948 00:48:27.170 --> 00:48:28.659 And what happened to him in these three? 949 00:48:29.050 --> 00:48:31.300 If you gave him NyQuil, it's the same as if 950 00:48:31.340 --> 00:48:34.659 you took and you strangled him or you did whatever 951 00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:35.360 else you. 952 00:48:35.139 --> 00:48:36.019 Did to him. 953 00:48:36.099 --> 00:48:39.420 At 930, I gave him 60 milligrams of the Z-Quil 954 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:41.239 and three Tylenol threes. 955 00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:41.820 Okay. 956 00:48:42.500 --> 00:48:44.139 At 11, when I went to check on him, he 957 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.960 complained that he couldn't sleep and he was still in pain. Okay. 958 00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:49.079 And I asked if he could have more Tylenol. 959 00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:50.800 You gave him more Tylenol threes? 960 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.389 I gave him more Tylenol threes. I told him. 961 00:48:53.409 --> 00:48:54.269 How many? 962 00:48:54.550 --> 00:48:55.429 It was another three. 963 00:48:55.949 --> 00:48:56.269 Okay. 964 00:48:56.289 --> 00:48:59.849 So he's got six Tylenol threes within how many period 965 00:48:59.869 --> 00:49:00.170 of time? 966 00:49:00.269 --> 00:49:03.230 Two hours. Okay. Okay. 967 00:49:03.550 --> 00:49:04.489 So then keep going. 968 00:49:05.150 --> 00:49:08.500 I gave him that. I told him it could hurt him. Okay. 969 00:49:08.539 --> 00:49:10.539 And I told him that there would be repercussions. Okay. 970 00:49:11.420 --> 00:49:13.500 So you knew by giving him six times or he 971 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:14.090 would die? 972 00:49:14.409 --> 00:49:14.769 Yes, sir. 973 00:49:14.809 --> 00:49:15.329 What happened? 974 00:49:16.050 --> 00:49:16.469 He died. 975 00:49:16.889 --> 00:49:17.190 Okay. 976 00:49:18.989 --> 00:49:22.409 There would be reasons. is another way of saying you'll 977 00:49:22.449 --> 00:49:28.480 probably die. And Brittany very well knew this. After all, 978 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.599 she had worked in a nursing home and was now 979 00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:38.340 in nursing school. So, scary. This was all they needed 980 00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:44.730 to know. She had just confessed to overdosing an elderly man. 981 00:49:45.989 --> 00:49:50.409 Despite having Parkinson's, he had some quality years left, and 982 00:49:51.230 --> 00:49:53.889 even if

he didn't, it wasn't up to her to 983 00:49:53.929 --> 00:49:58.920 play God. But playing God would suggest that Brittany simply 984 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:02.400 euthanized Grandpa and put him out of his misery and 985 00:50:02.420 --> 00:50:04.199 let him be with his wife in the next world. 986 00:50:05.820 --> 00:50:09.400 That's not at all what police believe her motive was. 987 00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:15.550 And when the toxicology report came back, they were all 988 00:50:16.650 --> 00:50:52.460 in for a big surprise. By the time detectives finished 989 00:50:52.500 --> 00:50:56.219 their second interview with Brittany, almost every part of her 990 00:50:56.260 --> 00:51:00.070 original story had fallen apart and had been rearranged to 991 00:51:00.130 --> 00:51:07.369 include slightly more truth. Grandpa hadn't moved to Cincinnati or Columbus, 992 00:51:08.269 --> 00:51:12.409 and he hadn't died in January. He died on Christmas Eve, 993 00:51:13.309 --> 00:51:15.889 when all through the house, not a creature was stirring 994 00:51:15.969 --> 00:51:20.190 except for Brittany shuffling back and forth between the bathroom, 995 00:51:20.269 --> 00:51:25.429 and Grandpa's bedroom, dosing him over and over with Z-Quil, Tylenol, 996 00:51:25.510 --> 00:51:29.409 and codeine. Brittany kept David Sr. 's health from her 997 00:51:29.469 --> 00:51:33.389 husband for two weeks, told her daughter to lie about 998 00:51:33.489 --> 00:51:38.179 where Grandpa had gone, and left his body decomposing behind 999 00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:41.659 a closed bedroom door while the rest of the family 1000 00:51:42.300 --> 00:51:46.639 went to Disney World. Kill your father-in-law and go to 1001 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:53.400 Disney World. That's the state of society today. When David Jr. 1002 00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:58.159 finally discovered his father on January 8th, cameras inside the 1003 00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:02.719 house captured a reaction detectives believe was genuine. He really 1004 00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:07.159 had not known. But when he did find out, he 1005 00:52:07.539 --> 00:52:12.800 neglected to tell authorities. Together, Brittany and David eventually wrapped 1006 00:52:12.860 --> 00:52:16.739 his father's body in a tarp and a plastic mattress bag. 1007 00:52:17.699 --> 00:52:22.000 And Brittany, moved him into the shed. According to Brittany, 1008 00:52:22.179 --> 00:52:26.519 his murder was an act of mercy. Grandpa was in pain. 1009 00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:31.090 He missed his wife and wanted to die. And that 1010 00:52:31.130 --> 00:52:34.309 could very well be true. You know, it's kind of 1011 00:52:34.349 --> 00:52:36.869 depressing to get old and see everyone you love die 1012 00:52:36.889 --> 00:52:41.929 around you while your own health fails. You feel like 1013 00:52:42.030 --> 00:52:44.550 shit most of the time and none of the young 1014 00:52:44.590 --> 00:52:46.860 people even want to talk to you or be around you. 1015 00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.230 You smell like an old person. And you got nothing 1016 00:52:50.269 --> 00:52:55.030 interesting to say. So that's the life we're all looking 1017 00:52:55.110 --> 00:53:02.389 forward to ahead. But detectives had already found another possible 1018 00:53:02.469 --> 00:53:07.440 explanation for all this. Do you want to take a 1019 00:53:07.579 --> 00:53:11.300 guess as to what that might be? I'll give you 1020 00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:12.550 a second to think about it. 1021 00:53:14.059 --> 00:53:14.679 Ding, ding, ding, ding. 1022 00:53:14.699 --> 00:53:15.119 Money. Of course. 1023 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:16.119 Money. 1024 00:53:19.530 --> 00:53:20.670 Don't you just love it? 1025 00:53:21.780 --> 00:53:24.139 I was able to hear from some of her family 1026 00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:27.739 and from some of even some of his family that 1027 00:53:28.300 --> 00:53:33.739 David Jr. didn't do a whole lot and blew through 1028 00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:36.860 a bunch of his parents' money and was kind of 1029 00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:40.860 the reason why his dad ended up having to live 1030 00:53:40.900 --> 00:53:45.389 with them is because David Jr., ended up getting them 1031 00:53:45.449 --> 00:53:48.199 into a situation. His parents had to sell their house, 1032 00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:53.380 and he ended up being in control of like $ 120, 000, 1033 00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:54.699 I believe is what he told me, and. 1034 00:53:54.659 --> 00:53:55.820 All of that money was gone. 1035 00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:04.550 Somehow, they burned through $ 120, 000 and had very little to 1036 00:54:04.610 --> 00:54:07.989 show for it. They certainly weren't sitting on a pile 1037 00:54:08.030 --> 00:54:10.090 of assets or crypto. 1038 00:54:10.849 --> 00:54:13.150 Neither one of them, I don't think, really wanted to 1039 00:54:13.329 --> 00:54:16.269 put a whole lot of effort into working. And they 1040 00:54:16.329 --> 00:54:21.860 found there were opportunities with his parents to inherit money. 1041 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.360 And that's why they lived the way that they lived. 1042 00:54:26.500 --> 00:54:29.340 I mean, they had, I think, four TVs in their 1043 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:34.320 living room and they had two or three lounge couches 1044 00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.920 with all the bells and whistles, but they didn't own 1045 00:54:38.010 --> 00:54:42.230 any of it. All of it was from Rent-A-Center because 1046 00:54:42.309 --> 00:54:45.730 they had blown through all of the money. Even their 1047 00:54:45.769 --> 00:54:50.150 car was, I mean, it wasn't paid for or anything. 1048 00:54:50.469 --> 00:54:54.510 They had all that money from the sale of David Jr. 1049 00:54:54.510 --> 00:54:57.940 's parents' farm and they had spent it all. 1050 00:54:59.179 --> 00:55:02.320 To be fair, Brittany and David weren't available to defend 1051 00:55:02.380 --> 00:55:10.079 their spending habits. their Timu purchases, their Amazon Prime subscription. 1052

00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:14.340 They were too busy doing time. So I think we're 1053 00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:17.900 going to have to take the detective's word for it. Anyway, 1054 00:55:17.940 --> 00:55:24.170 Grandpa got approximately $ 2, 300 a month in Social Security. David Jr. 1055 00:55:24.329 --> 00:55:28.650 had power of attorney and managed the account along with Brittany. 1056 00:55:29.869 --> 00:55:34.070 Police records show that even after his dad died, His 1057 00:55:34.110 --> 00:55:37.889 December and January payments had hit the account and had 1058 00:55:37.909 --> 00:55:42.219 been spent. That alone doesn't prove somebody committed murder for 1059 00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:46.519 a Social Security check. But then detectives learned about some 1060 00:55:46.820 --> 00:55:51.340 family meetings around Christmas. Ah, don't you just love the 1061 00:55:51.389 --> 00:55:55.949 Christmas spirit? David's dad was becoming harder to care for. 1062 00:55:56.670 --> 00:55:59.730 He was becoming the burden they claim he didn't want 1063 00:55:59.769 --> 00:56:03.440 to be. Brittany was in nursing school and the whole 1064 00:56:03.500 --> 00:56:08.989 situation was wearing her down. On either December 21st or 22nd, 1065 00:56:09.050 --> 00:56:13.489 just days before he died, Brittany got on a telehealth 1066 00:56:13.530 --> 00:56:18.630 call about his condition. Afterwards, she started calling nursing homes. 1067 00:56:19.650 --> 00:56:22.860 One facility was willing to take him, but his insurance 1068 00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:26.820 would only cover the first 30 days. If he stayed 1069 00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:31.510 and transitioned into long-term care... his Social Security money would 1070 00:56:31.849 --> 00:56:35.949 be taken to pay for it. You know how it goes. 1071 00:56:37.179 --> 00:56:39.300 Somebody's got to get that money other than the person 1072 00:56:39.340 --> 00:56:44.300 it's for. In other words, Grandpa going to a nursing 1073 00:56:44.340 --> 00:56:47.440 home wouldn't just remove an elderly man from the house, 1074 00:56:47.500 --> 00:56:51.980 it would also remove Brittany and David's main source of income. 1075 00:56:53.139 --> 00:56:56.389 The timing was hard to ignore. On December 21st or 22nd, 1076 00:56:58.550 --> 00:57:03.570 The family was discussing putting Grandpa into a facility. December 1077 00:57:03.849 --> 00:57:10.559 23rd was his 80th birthday. And on December 24th, Brittany 1078 00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:15.300 Cole gave him drugs she admitted she knew would kill him. 1079 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.260 Brittany, he's got to talk straight. All that's going to 1080 00:57:19.659 --> 00:57:20.739 come out. 1081 00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:21.260 We got that. 1082 00:57:21.340 --> 00:57:23.400 It should be coming at any time now. We're going 1083 00:57:23.420 --> 00:57:25.980 to know exactly what's in there. So if you say 1084 00:57:26.380 --> 00:57:27.480 you're not telling me something. 1085 00:57:28.019 --> 00:57:28.539 It's going to show. 1086 00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:29.340 Up on this tongue stick. 1087 00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:34.969 But it didn't show up. The blood was screened for 1088 00:57:35.010 --> 00:57:40.690 more than 95 commonly used drugs. But everything came back negative. 1089 00:57:41.889 --> 00:57:45.969 There was no Tylenol, no codeine. No evidence of any 1090 00:57:46.070 --> 00:57:50.510 over-the-counter medication Brittany claimed she had given him. And that 1091 00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:55.639 wasn't the only surprise. The autopsy showed that David Sr. 1092 00:57:55.820 --> 00:58:02.239 had serious... heart disease. Microscopic examination showed a blood clot 1093 00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:07.139 nearly blocking one of his coronary arteries. The official cause 1094 00:58:07.179 --> 00:58:13.619 of death was an acute myocardial infraction, a heart attack, essentially. 1095 00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:21.960 Natural causes, just like Brittany originally said. But how could 1096 00:58:21.980 --> 00:58:25.719 this have happened? And how would it affect the case? 1097 00:58:27.010 --> 00:58:30.269 Brittany had already confessed to first-degree murder. After all. 1098 00:58:31.230 --> 00:58:34.480 Based off of the coroner's report, and that can be confusing, 1099 00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.820 is because, you know, the body was so decomposed, there 1100 00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.300 wasn't any evidence to prove anything there. 1101 00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:45.889 But we had enough other evidence. You know, if she 1102 00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:47.239 wouldn't have confessed, I. 1103 00:58:49.210 --> 00:58:52.050 Am certain that we still would have gotten a conviction 1104 00:58:52.130 --> 00:58:54.949 on her because we did have the camera footage. 1105 00:58:55.670 --> 00:59:00.409 Uh, we did have, uh, David Jr. Uh, talking about it. 1106 00:59:00.469 --> 00:59:04.050 We do have the records from where she ordered or 1107 00:59:04.110 --> 00:59:05.250 he ordered the. 1108 00:59:05.190 --> 00:59:09.289 Amazon, um, the mattress bag off of Amazon. 1109 00:59:09.829 --> 00:59:13.719 And the text messages, uh, where he's saying, I'm trying 1110 00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:15.429 to eat in the living room and the smell is 1111 00:59:15.489 --> 00:59:18.539 so bad. Maybe we should open a window like you. 1112 00:59:18.639 --> 00:59:21.059 And that's, that's one of the things that we use. 1113 00:59:21.099 --> 00:59:25.460 Like we told her, like, we have this information. You 1114 00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:30.360 might as well just like tell us what happened. And so, Yeah, 1115 00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:33.000 I'm confident that we still could have gotten a conviction 1116 00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:34.880 if that would have gone to trial. 1117 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:41.250 Detective Ruff was suspicious from the start. Brittany's story kept changing, 1118 00:59:41.369 --> 00:59:45.250 and every new piece of evidence seemed to bring another lie. 1119 00:59:46.429 -->

00:59:49.860 Even after the coroner ruled David's death natural, Detective Ruff 1120 00:59:49.940 --> 00:59:54.139 says that gut feeling never went away. And he was 1121 00:59:54.260 --> 00:59:55.179 absolutely right. 1122 00:59:55.900 --> 01:00:00.849 To me, there's... there's still something underlying there. 1123 01:00:01.849 --> 01:00:05.849 I think that, uh, she says she goes in the 1124 01:00:05.889 --> 01:00:07.769 first time she gave him the medicine and then she 1125 01:00:07.789 --> 01:00:10.340 goes in a second time to give him medicine, but 1126 01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:13.400 then she doesn't go back and check until 5 AM. 1127 01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.280 Well, I personally, I don't believe that. 1128 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:19.159 Um, you know, if you've gone in, you've given him 1129 01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:23.920 medicine once with the thought process that he's probably going 1130 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.909 to die and you go back into check and he's 1131 01:00:26.969 --> 01:00:30.309 not dead, and so you give him more medicine, uh, 1132 01:00:30.550 --> 01:00:31.739 you're not going to stop there. 1133 01:00:31.860 --> 01:00:34.000 You're going to come back in and you're going to check. 1134 01:00:34.260 --> 01:00:37.880 And then at that point, I think I personally, I 1135 01:00:38.219 --> 01:00:41.380 think she took, uh, kind of matters into her own hands. 1136 01:00:41.940 --> 01:00:46.550 And I think there was something else that happened, uh, 1137 01:00:46.650 --> 01:00:50.900 before 5.00 AM because we did find the medicine bottle and, uh, 1138 01:00:51.170 --> 01:00:54.170 of prescription pills. And then we did find the medicine 1139 01:00:54.210 --> 01:00:58.170 bottle of the Z-Quil, uh, and, The amounts were consistent 1140 01:00:58.849 --> 01:01:00.030 with what was left. 1141 01:01:01.309 --> 01:01:04.849 For days, detectives weren't sure about how much David Jr. 1142 01:01:04.909 --> 01:01:05.150 Knew. 1143 01:01:06.230 --> 01:01:09.949 He was definitely part of the cover-up. He continued spending 1144 01:01:09.989 --> 01:01:13.650 his dad's checks and lied about what happened, so it 1145 01:01:13.690 --> 01:01:17.699 was reasonable to wonder whether he knew all along. But 1146 01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:21.880 Detective Ruff says that video, from the camera inside the home, 1147 01:01:22.980 --> 01:01:23.760 changed everything. 1148 01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:29.210 My first thought was, wow, I can't believe we've got 1149 01:01:29.250 --> 01:01:34.449 this on video. And then it was like, wow, he 1150 01:01:34.630 --> 01:01:39.809 really didn't know. This was not him. This was Brittany. 1151 01:01:40.550 --> 01:01:44.500 You know, we weren't sure exactly. We knew she was lying. And, 1152 01:01:45.059 --> 01:01:47.639 you know, like I said, that's something that we're going 1153 01:01:47.659 --> 01:01:50.679 into the first interview of a case this big. 1154 01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:53.920 We know they're going to lie. Just how much? 1155 01:01:54.039 --> 01:01:55.360 Well, David. 1156 01:01:56.570 --> 01:01:58.530 David Jr. really didn't know. 1157 01:01:58.630 --> 01:02:02.449 And we didn't believe that he didn't know until we 1158 01:02:02.489 --> 01:02:05.739 saw that video. We didn't know how involved he was 1159 01:02:05.820 --> 01:02:07.179 until we saw that video. 1160 01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:11.719 And he says, what has she done? 1161 01:02:11.739 --> 01:02:16.980 Then he immediately calls her and starts questioning her on that. 1162 01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:20.969 And that's what was running through my mind when we 1163 01:02:21.010 --> 01:02:23.530 saw that video. 1164 01:02:23.550 --> 01:02:25.969 I have a theory. You want to hear it? 1165 01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:27.179 No? 1166 01:02:28.179 --> 01:02:30.639 Well, then go listen to Crime Junkie. The hell are 1167 01:02:30.659 --> 01:02:31.179 you doing here? 1168 01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:32.119 Then come poop. 1169 01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:36.760 I think these two lazy fucks were planning to kill 1170 01:02:37.059 --> 01:02:40.769 the old man. They wanted his shit. And when you're 1171 01:02:40.789 --> 01:02:42.789 an old man with any amount of savings and a 1172 01:02:42.849 --> 01:02:46.869 couple of lazy, good-for-nothing losers living in your home, you 1173 01:02:46.909 --> 01:02:51.909 got a problem. These two likely talked at length about 1174 01:02:51.969 --> 01:02:56.380 killing him, about getting rid of him, without getting rid 1175 01:02:56.389 --> 01:03:01.269 of the money. They researched and they strategized about doing it, 1176 01:03:02.059 --> 01:03:05.460 probably while lying there in bed at night, thinking about 1177 01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:09.639 their plans, riding the Dumbo ride at Disney while the 1178 01:03:09.699 --> 01:03:13.519 old man is ancient history. Maybe they even argued a 1179 01:03:13.539 --> 01:03:16.909 bit about when or how to do it, but never 1180 01:03:16.989 --> 01:03:23.469 actually solidified a complete plan, at least not yet. Then, suddenly, 1181 01:03:24.250 --> 01:03:27.030 out of the blue... They're in the midst of formulating 1182 01:03:27.070 --> 01:03:29.630 their plan, and the old man dies suddenly of a 1183 01:03:29.670 --> 01:03:33.469 heart attack. Brittany, being the genius that she is, and 1184 01:03:33.670 --> 01:03:36.320 with all the existing evil thoughts of getting rid of 1185 01:03:36.340 --> 01:03:40.960 the old man still freshly swirling inside that little peanut-sized brain, 1186 01:03:42.019 --> 01:03:45.039 skips to part two of the series of events she's 1187 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:50.320 already envisioned and talked about with David Jr. That's why 1188 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:54.380 David Jr. 's expression in the surveillance footage seems so genuine. 1189 01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:58.840 It's not because he's shocked Brittany killed his father. It's 1190 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:02.699 that he's surprised she did it now, suddenly, without a 1191

01:04:02.739 --> 01:04:07.250 plan first, without letting him know. He's shocked about the when, 1192 01:04:08.190 --> 01:04:13.289 not the why, or even the how. Now, David has 1193 01:04:13.329 --> 01:04:16.429 a dilemma. Because even though the old man died of 1194 01:04:16.489 --> 01:04:20.969 natural causes, Brittany didn't tell anyone about it. She kept 1195 01:04:21.010 --> 01:04:24.380 it to herself. She pretended like everything was fine and 1196 01:04:25.179 --> 01:04:29.130 went about her days. And now it's way too late 1197 01:04:29.190 --> 01:04:33.510 to call anyone. So these two knuckleheads go into self-preservation 1198 01:04:33.550 --> 01:04:36.849 mode because Brittany had been attempting to overdose the old 1199 01:04:36.909 --> 01:04:41.590 man and it hadn't worked yet. And after about 10 hours, 1200 01:04:41.710 --> 01:04:46.030 the Tylenol leaves your system. That's when the old man's 1201 01:04:46.130 --> 01:04:49.869 heart goes out. But Brittany isn't completely sure what it 1202 01:04:49.969 --> 01:04:53.929 is that killed him. That's why she admits to her crime. 1203 01:04:54.929 --> 01:04:57.960 That's why Junior helps conceal the body after the fact. 1204 01:04:59.059 --> 01:05:02.980 Both of these clowns, in my opinion, should be under 1205 01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:07.960 the jail. And I stress, this is all just my 1206 01:05:08.019 --> 01:05:11.840 own speculation. I have no facts other than what you've 1207 01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:15.960 heard to back any of it up. But it makes sense, 1208 01:05:16.940 --> 01:05:17.300 doesn't it? 1209 01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:18.440 I just. 1210 01:05:19.940 --> 01:05:23.840 I couldn't say anything. I couldn't... She was the only 1211 01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:24.719 person I had left. 1212 01:05:26.940 --> 01:05:30.559 So you were afraid that if you called the police, 1213 01:05:30.699 --> 01:05:31.679 she would get in trouble? 1214 01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.730 Yeah. So you didn't call the police? I didn't call 1215 01:05:34.750 --> 01:05:39.030 the police. I just went along with everything, and I 1216 01:05:39.050 --> 01:05:39.869 just wanted to just. 1217 01:05:41.289 --> 01:05:46.360 It's not... You know, too, it's not an excuse. 1218 01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:47.599 I know. 1219 01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:53.679 But there's no escaping the law. Well, most of the time. 1220 01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:57.360 Unless you live in a liberal state, that is. Brittany 1221 01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:01.360 pleaded guilty to murder and abuse of a corpse. She 1222 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:04.579 was sentenced to life in prison and will be eligible 1223 01:06:04.619 --> 01:06:09.909 for parole after 16 years. David Jr. later pleaded guilty 1224 01:06:09.949 --> 01:06:14.170 to multiple felonies stemming from what happened after his father's death. 1225 01:06:15.369 --> 01:06:19.679 He was sentenced to nine years in prison. Neither Nina 1226 01:06:19.820 --> 01:06:23.360 nor her boyfriend was charged with any crime. After all, 1227 01:06:23.420 --> 01:06:27.150 Nina was a juvenile and Her own mother put her 1228 01:06:27.190 --> 01:06:33.989 in an impossible situation. Brittany showed absolutely no remorse. Not once, 1229 01:06:34.969 --> 01:06:40.170 not ever, during any of her interviews. But David did. 1230 01:06:41.030 --> 01:06:44.079 You also don't know, my dad was an amazing man. 1231 01:06:44.500 --> 01:06:47.659 All my life he took good care of me. He 1232 01:06:47.699 --> 01:06:55.780 worked two jobs. He got me through scouts. He was 1233 01:06:55.820 --> 01:06:57.420 always there for me. He would work two jobs and 1234 01:06:57.460 --> 01:06:59.300 yet still stay awake and take me to Scouts. 1235 01:07:00.099 --> 01:07:00.559 He would. 1236 01:07:01.980 --> 01:07:03.760 Cut me out of my life just like I did 1237 01:07:03.780 --> 01:07:07.449 with the boys when I had that woman that did 1238 01:07:07.489 --> 01:07:11.250 all those drugs. And she ended up, I tried to 1239 01:07:11.289 --> 01:07:12.809 move her around the state to get her away from 1240 01:07:12.849 --> 01:07:15.869 her dealers and shit. And I was down in Cincinnati 1241 01:07:15.909 --> 01:07:20.119 and she got into some fentanyl and died. I found 1242 01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:25.500 her after work. And I called and I hadn't talked 1243 01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:29.099 to him in three years and they immediately rushed down 1244 01:07:29.179 --> 01:07:34.099 to me and he was an easy man. 1245 01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:35.139 My dad was a good man. 1246 01:07:35.500 --> 01:07:36.469 He didn't deserve this. 1247 01:07:39.449 --> 01:07:43.650 He didn't deserve this. He just wanted to be buried 1248 01:07:43.690 --> 01:07:48.469 next to mom. And I know about all this legal 1249 01:07:48.510 --> 01:07:55.650 stuff and shit and there's all this going on. But honestly, 1250 01:07:55.670 --> 01:07:56.809 that was one of the worst things. 1251 01:07:56.829 --> 01:08:00.469 It was knowing. 1252 01:08:00.210 --> 01:08:02.110 That his wish was to be buried next to mom. 1253 01:08:02.610 --> 01:08:04.559 And I was possibly taking that away from him. 1254 01:08:07.500 --> 01:08:11.840 David's senior, Grandpa, expected to live out his final days 1255 01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.909 around people who loved him and would care for him. 1256 01:08:16.140 --> 01:08:18.720 Isn't that what we all want? Isn't that what we 1257 01:08:18.779 --> 01:08:22.859 all think will happen? He thought that because he was 1258 01:08:22.930 --> 01:08:26.529 living with family, let alone family that provided health care, 1259 01:08:27.390 --> 01:08:31.090 he would be in good hands. Instead, he ended up 1260 01:08:31.630 --> 01:08:36.329 wrapped in plastic in a shed, behind the house where 1261 01:08:36.369 --> 01:08:41.939 his family continued living and spending his money. His son 1262 01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:45.619 had said once that he was a good man who 1263 01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.239 deserved better. He was right. 1264 01:08:50.569 --> 01:08:59.489 Thank you. 1265 01:08:59.489 --> 01:08:59.640 You you. 1266 01:09:36.979 --> 01:09:39.010 I figure we'll go ahead and go out with a 1267 01:09:39.069 --> 01:09:41.810 bang and from here on out we'll put out weekly episodes. 1268 01:09:41.829 --> 01:09:42.529 What do you think? 1269 01:09:43.569 --> 01:09:45.210 At least till the end of the year, that is. 1270 01:09:46.829 --> 01:09:49.430 Thank you once again for joining us. It's always a pleasure. 1271 01:09:50.630 --> 01:09:53.220 Till next week, stay safe.
