1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.560
Her like eyeball was like moving up and down kylight.
2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.080
She was having a caesar.
3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.200
Head trauma, skull fractures.
4
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.759
Frankly, she also.
5
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.039
Has some broken ribs. Wow, yes, wow, Lord.
6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.199
She called me on the phone like crying and she's
7
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.000
did you drop my baby? There's a huge lump.
8
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.160
On her left side of her brain and I was like, no,
9
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.559
it would not ever drop her baby on purpose, You
10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:26.120
know what I mean.
11
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.640
When a two month old baby girl is rushed to
12
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.039
the hospital after suffering a seizure in the care of
13
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.799
her babysitter, doctors discover alarming injuries that raise more questions
14
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.200
than answers. As investigators search for the truth, they find
15
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.600
themselves facing conflicting accounts, shifting blame, and a story that
16
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.799
begins to feel hauntingly familiar.
17
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.799
Did she tell you before the same particulation before has happened?
18
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.200
No, you didn't.
19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.640
Mention that the following is based on official police records
20
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.439
and the footage has never been seen before until now.
21
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.280
Please note that old person charged with a crime are
22
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.840
presumed innocent, un less, and until proven guilty in a
23
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.239
court of law. In Oklahoma. On the morning of July fourteenth,
24
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.040
twenty twenty three, twenty six year old Holly Marie Shepherd
25
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.040
contacts Punka City nine to one one dispatchers.
26
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:19.200
Hi, i's being a consident officer or not an officer? Sorry,
27
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.840
like abyary, what's going on there? So baby sitting at
28
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.599
two month old babies and she's kind of acting a
29
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.280
little funny. She's kind of been a little punky. I
30
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.760
just want to make sure that she's okay, and like
31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.439
her oxygen level, she's kind of like whims and kind
32
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.959
of breathing funny. Her mom said she's been sick and stuff,
33
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.519
and she's just kind of acting like out of it.
34
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.159
I'm not normal. I just want to make sure she's
35
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.959
okay because she's in my care.
36
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.599
Paramedics find the infant, a two month old baby girl
37
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.640
named Cora, in a dire state with part of her
38
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.079
head appearing deformed. However, when they reach the mother on
39
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.319
the phone, she panics, explaining Cora has defects of any kind.
40
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.239
At the hospital, the truth, of course, condition begins to emerge,
41
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.240
confirmed in a grim call between officers.
42
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.000
They took once I got thoughts well, they took the
43
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.199
child in to get CT imaging, and as they were
44
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.439
finishing that up and taking the child back. The child
45
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.560
started seizing after the CT imaging, so there's internal there's
46
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.919
traumatic bleeding on the right side of the brain, and
47
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.960
that's the injury that can be seen on the outside
48
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.879
where it's kind of.
49
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:32.039
Hold on.
50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:33.879
Me.
51
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.120
Let me pulled the photos the nurse took.
52
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.520
There was a visible mark on the right side of
53
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.199
the child. I might have to call you back, but
54
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.800
I think that's what I needed for the time being.
55
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.439
Sounds good, Thank you, ma'am. You're welcome, thank you.
56
00:02:51.159 --> 00:03:09.080
But due to the severity of her condition, Baby Cora
57
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.000
is flown by helicopter to a different hospital, where she
58
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.439
fights for her life with unexplained injuries. Investigators turned to
59
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.680
the three people who were in the home with the baby,
60
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.639
the babysitter Holly, her mother in law Doretta, and Doretta's
61
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.240
sister Doreen, each with their own account for what happened
62
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:26.800
that morning.
63
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:32.560
So I got Holly's statement, I got Grandma's statement, and
64
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.159
I got Grandma's sister statement.
65
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.879
Okay, all three of them.
66
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.360
Yeah, did not add up.
67
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.439
Investigators will examine the accounts of all three women, but
68
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.240
the real challenge is figuring out where the lies end
69
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.120
and the truth begins. According to the babysitter, Holly, two
70
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.439
month old Cora had just been laid to bed for
71
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.560
a nap when she began acting unusual. The officer begins
72
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.879
photographing the crib where Holly put her down, when Doretta
73
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.120
calls out to her, can I'm.
74
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:02.719
Look in the crib?
75
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:04.280
No?
76
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.280
Does it?
77
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.120
Can you just tell me what it looks like? Is
78
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.000
there blankets in there? There's somebody in it?
79
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.319
There's there's blankets in there. I can't tell you if
80
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.520
someone's been sleeping in there or not.
81
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.480
I just yeah, okay, I'm gonna keep that room. Is
82
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.040
there something?
83
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.399
What do you think?
84
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:29.800
I can't take me out?
85
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.480
Why she would put the baby in the bay bead,
86
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.480
which is usually pushing the baby on the big head.
87
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:35.560
I just switch stake on that.
88
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.199
So let's say something would go against me.
89
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.279
If you say something won't go against you, you're not
90
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.639
under arrest.
91
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:47.680
Okay.
92
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:50.920
I don't want to say about that.
93
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.000
It's gonna I don't want to hurt her, but I
94
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.240
just wanted the baby.
95
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:55.680
Off the bed.
96
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.759
However, doctors noted injuries that point to something far more
97
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.399
so Veer. Along with serious bleeding around her brain, they
98
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.839
also found scattered skull fractures, as though something traumatically hit
99
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.680
the child's head. They began questioning Holly, who was recently
100
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.000
left in charge of the two month old and her
101
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.160
four year old sister.
102
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.560
I'm a member of on Facebook of a Punkas City
103
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.399
area mom's group that I kind of talk on there
104
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.040
to like just fellow moms and do like uh, playdates
105
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.319
and stuff with other kids.
106
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.759
Because I have two kids of my own.
107
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.360
And McKenzie mom, she posted all her that she needed
108
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.839
childcare and I told her I was staying home, you know,
109
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.000
I have two kids. Met her at McDonald's and like
110
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600
her and her husband were like, okay, yeah, I like her.
111
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.240
So we just I just sorted that this past like
112
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.040
this week on Tuesday. But yeah, I mean, I don't
113
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.399
know if she'll continue with me because of this, but
114
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.079
she won't really talk to me.
115
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.720
But yeah, so's.
116
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.920
Hour of the week. So she just paid me today
117
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:02.439
and then.
118
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.759
Yeah, so pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah.
119
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.199
In their initial Facebook messages, which started one week earlier,
120
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.319
Holly had introduced herself as a wife and mother of two,
121
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.879
stating she has tons of caregiving experience. Mackenzie admitted she
122
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
was nervous about leaving her children with a stranger, but
123
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.759
said Holly reassured her by offering several family members as references,
124
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.959
including her mother in law Doretta.
125
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.399
And how many kids were you watching for?
126
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.199
Just too? Just too?
127
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.480
Yeah, so mine to go to daycare? Okay, yeah, okay,
128
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.680
And which is kind of.
129
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.759
Weird because I'm like, well, I miss my kids.
130
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.079
You know, but yeah, my kids love their daycare.
131
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.959
So Holly goes on to explain what happened after Sam
132
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.399
took their two children to daycare and headed to work,
133
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.160
leaving Holly and Doretta alone with Mackenzie's two children.
134
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.319
So, and I always call it ten thirty seven. So, okay,
135
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.480
she ate. I made her bottle around ten ten, ten
136
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.360
to fifteen.
137
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.639
Ish, and I was sitting on a couch and I'm
138
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:01.079
holding her.
139
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.319
She's been kind of cranky this morning, so I don't
140
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.160
know if she was dealing this up some gas or
141
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.920
what was going on, but she was kind of cranky.
142
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:09.240
So I fed her.
143
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.600
She drank maybe two ounces of her bottle, and she
144
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.600
fell asleep with my arms so up the bottle down,
145
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.800
kind of covered up at the blanket and like sat
146
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.519
there to make sure that she's like asleep. Then I
147
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.759
stand up and I bring.
148
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.199
Her to my daughter's bed in the crib and just.
149
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.959
Set her down kind of slaw other turned on the
150
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.959
nightlight and the.
151
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.839
Little lullaby music thing, and then walked out to kind
152
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:35.680
of handle. I looted her a band of course to
153
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.959
hear her, but to tend to Audrey and then probably
154
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.680
around like I want to say, ten thirty five.
155
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.519
So two minutes before I called, I noticed, like I
156
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.639
was sitting there playing with Audrey on the floor and
157
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.680
I just hear Coral, which is the baby thing, just
158
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.079
like scream, like screwing.
159
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.040
Cry, like a heart cry, and like our cats are outside.
160
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.720
There's not like she doesn't roll over yet, She's only
161
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.319
two months.
162
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.319
And so I ran in there, turned the light on,
163
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.560
picked her up, and I noticed but like she her
164
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.839
arms were just like stretched out, like they were so stiff,
165
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.920
and her eyes were kind of like I don't know
166
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.160
how to.
167
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.240
Describe it, like like she.
168
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.959
Was like like she kept like yeah that and like
169
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.560
her eye, her like eyeball was like moving up and
170
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.439
down kind of like she was having a seizure.
171
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:34.639
And I'm gonna start to find medical assistant.
172
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.840
So I kind of like know the signs of that,
173
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.440
and it looked like a seizure to me.
174
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.759
So I just immediately like I.
175
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.159
Picked her up and like I said, I saw that,
176
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.279
and then her arms were stiff and she was kind
177
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.080
of breathing funny.
178
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.279
So I was like, okay, I'm calling on one.
179
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.600
After learning of Cora's injuries, the infant's mother called Holly
180
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:53.919
to demand answers.
181
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.399
She called me and she said, hey, did you drop
182
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.399
my baby? Like she called me on the phone like crying,
183
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.000
and she did you drop my baby? There's that huge
184
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.279
lump on her left side of her brain or her head.
185
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.720
And I was like, no, I would not ever drop
186
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.320
her baby on purpose, you know what I mean.
187
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.960
I mean, there's no.
188
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.519
Way we were Doretta and her sister at like whenever
189
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.159
the baby was the girl.
190
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.360
Doretta is brought in for questioning, and although she recalls
191
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.039
the morning much like Holly does, one important detail doesn't
192
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:23.840
quite align.
193
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.759
Holly was fading the baby and the little girl's plan
194
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.559
and my little hisster come in.
195
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.879
We stood there talking well, Holly was holding the baby
196
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.559
and then started crying a little bit. Just then my
197
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.639
sister talked and we went out the yard and loaded
198
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.960
up their conditioners. We stood out there docked out there.
199
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:43.480
In the car, you know.
200
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.639
But then Holly comes out now the house, said that
201
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.320
she had to call the am once night, and so
202
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.440
why she said, Well, the baby's not drawing.
203
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.080
The baby all right. So the only person that was
204
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.320
inside the house was Holly at that time, and you
205
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.879
and her sister were outside, right.
206
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.799
Though Holly claimed Doretta and Doreen were with her in
207
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.039
the living room, Doretta's account puts the two of them outside,
208
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.919
leaving Holly alone with the baby before placing her in
209
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.240
the crib. Still, Doretta remains unconvinced that Cora was ever
210
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.600
in the crib at all.
211
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.279
I'm thinking that she puts.
212
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.240
The baby on the bed on the baby fellas, Okay,
213
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.679
I'm thinking, do you think that that's what happened him?
214
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.440
Thank you very much?
215
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.120
Okay, Women she thinks that, well, because she don't.
216
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.480
She hasn't far up because this week she has never
217
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.720
put that baby and that clib, She's always put it in.
218
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:35.519
On the ben.
219
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.919
Despite this unusual change and routine, Holly stands firm that
220
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.840
the baby was in the crib before then, she had
221
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.679
otherwise been in her arms or Doretta's But.
222
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.159
The only time she was alone with the baby is
223
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.039
whenever I was in the kitchen for maybe three for.
224
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.759
Minutes, Doretta Coretta like, she a whole maybe for me
225
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:59.799
by herself wheneverfore was she out with the baby only couch?
226
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.279
Said on the couch, did she tell you something happened
227
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.039
while she no?
228
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.639
And I after and she said no, not that I
229
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:07.559
can recall that.
230
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.960
I mean, she does have and she's showing some signs
231
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.440
of like dementia and so, but I would feel like
232
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.639
if it's.
233
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.559
Something serious, or I would have heard as up of
234
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.799
something if she dropped her or hit her, which you know,
235
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.639
I don't think she would do that.
236
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.120
Now in your kitchen, you said, Gretta was in the
237
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.279
living room, in which casey from the kitchen to the
238
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.039
living room or is there a there's a long okay,
239
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.159
So that's the only time that that Quorra was out
240
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.320
of your side by the side out with you, not
241
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:36.879
anything like that.
242
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.240
Before addressing this with Coretta, the detective explains the seriousness
243
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.320
of the situation and delivers a shocking update about Chorus injuries.
244
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.879
You can see it's it's a little red right there.
245
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.240
You're starting to swell right. You can see the difference
246
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519
where the swelling start is read right, Yeah, by her temple. Yeah,
247
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:03.240
so okay. There's also she also has some broken ribs. Yes, okay.
248
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.120
So that's why it's important for me to find out
249
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.080
what what happened or how how everything happened. At any
250
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.919
point in time, were you left by yourself with uh
251
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:15.559
with corals the little baby?
252
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.200
Yes?
253
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.639
Yes, were you like left by yourself where you were
254
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.559
messing with her? That was all in the kitchen at
255
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:28.519
all times, I mean in the living room okay, with elements.
256
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.879
So at no point in time were you by yourself? Okay. Now,
257
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.840
she also mentioned that you had the offsets of dementia.
258
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.039
That's what she mentioned. Is that true? No, that's not true.
259
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.080
No, I.
260
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.440
Taken medicine, but I don't have demnia.
261
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.000
And I'm like, no, I might forget a little bit.
262
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.799
But I was out fine, okay. And when she went
263
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.879
to go make a bottle for in the kitchen, she
264
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.679
said that there's a wall in the kitchen that you
265
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.639
can't see into the living room, and that you were
266
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.320
left by yourself with the baby, and that that's the
267
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.720
only time that she that she did not have any
268
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.519
eyes on the baby. Sir. No, sir, that is not true, sir.
269
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.159
She did not I did not be in that with
270
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.159
that baby by my fild.
271
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.240
With conflicting stories from the two women, investigators questioned to
272
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.159
Rette sister Doreen. Her statement validates one of their stories,
273
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.799
but ribs an entirely new hole in another.
274
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.720
We just got up and right outside and was taking
275
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.840
air conditions.
276
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.720
And stayed inside, and Holly came out. She said, Uh,
277
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:35.759
something's wrong with the baby's breathing.
278
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.559
Can you come a check.
279
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:37.919
So we ran into the house.
280
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:43.240
The baby was in the carrier and uh, what.
281
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:43.519
Do you mean?
282
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:43.879
Said?
283
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.840
She just stopped breathing right.
284
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.519
And so she said, I've called the mother and the angulis,
285
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.559
you know. And so we still and waiting for the ambulus.
286
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.080
I stayed in the house of Ethne girl and my.
287
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.360
Sister and Holly went out doing this.
288
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.240
But ask her, I don't know what happened, Oka, you know,
289
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.519
I didn't hear nothing, drop all anything.
290
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.240
Her account confirms that she and Doretta were both outside
291
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.120
placing Holly alone with baby Cora inside the house, but
292
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.240
her claimed that the baby was found in the car
293
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.480
seat rather than the crib raises new questions.
294
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.240
Did she say why she had the baby in the
295
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:23.679
car seat?
296
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:29.679
No, she did say I was fixing to go some
297
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.600
diapers or something, and she said.
298
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.799
To the ambulance.
299
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.759
And this creates a gap in Holly's account. Was she
300
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.279
putting the baby down for a nap as she claimed,
301
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.879
or preparing to leave with her. Detectives spoke to Holly's husband, Sam,
302
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.320
who showed them Facebook messages from Holly that morning. She'd
303
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.559
been planning to bring him a drink at work, writing
304
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.639
It'll be a minute feeding the baby shortly after, she
305
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:59.440
dialed nine one one after the ambulance left, Sam says
306
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.240
she met him in person and told them the baby
307
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.080
had a seizure before returning to the house where police
308
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.320
were waiting to speak with her. She then sent messages
309
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.320
saying I'm scared our babies will be taken away. I
310
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.759
didn't do anything. I don't abuse children. She also snapped
311
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.799
a photo of one of the officers, writing FML, an
312
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.799
abbreviation which commonly means my life.
313
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.080
Why is she worried about her kids getting taken away?
314
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:29.120
Or your kids taken away? Just because, like I told her,
315
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.679
if the baby had a seizure, they're going to be
316
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.639
able to prove it. It's an injury. It's not a seasure.
317
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.360
It's it's a seizure that was caused by an injury.
318
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:42.840
Yeah.
319
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.200
Yeah.
320
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.360
Speaking once more with Deretta, the detective wonders if Holly
321
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.399
is telling the truth or possibly shifting the blame.
322
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.240
She's lying about you being alone with her today?
323
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:58.039
Absolutely absolutely, because I had my sister there.
324
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.080
And then do.
325
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.039
You have any idea why she's trying to say that
326
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.279
you were by herself or why she's trying to blame
327
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.159
on you, I don't know.
328
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.679
And that's what exactly what my sister said that you did,
329
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.559
I mean my daughter say she said, Mama, she said
330
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.159
she heard that baby, and you bet she's going to
331
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.399
try to skip the blame on to you.
332
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.000
Want to get kids.
333
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.039
And I walked him out and around.
334
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.320
And then she left you.
335
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.679
Okay, she supposed she wants she wants supposed to.
336
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:27.960
She asked her to hang type.
337
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.399
Polly is found walking four blocks away from the police station,
338
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.600
and they bring her back to confront her with everything
339
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.480
they've uncovered.
340
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.759
Here's the I just need you to tell me the
341
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.759
truth so that I can try to tell the doctors
342
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.159
down there.
343
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.080
What happened.
344
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.639
Okay, there's certain things that you kind of lied to
345
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:49.759
me about that were verified by other people. Okay. The
346
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.840
first thing is you didn't tell me that you had
347
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.240
the baby in the car seat, that you were going
348
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.000
to take the baby with you to go buy some
349
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.200
diapers at the same time that you were going to
350
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.120
take a drink or supposed to take a drink to Sam. Right,
351
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.559
and during that time, you were the only one that
352
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.240
was inside the house by yourself with the baby. You
353
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:12.599
told me that Veren and Doretta were both in the
354
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.480
house at that time whenever the baby started crying and
355
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.799
you went in there and freaked out, and then they
356
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:21.559
went outside. Okay, they're both telling me different. Your brother
357
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.480
in law got really offended and whenever.
358
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.799
I asked her about her dementia and got really upset
359
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.160
about it. That is very easily verifiable, which she said,
360
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.640
you know, you can contact my doctor.
361
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.880
Here's his name, blah blah blah.
362
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.039
Here's the information that it's really easily be very verifiable.
363
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.200
She does have dementia.
364
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.640
Right, Okay, I just need you to be straight with me,
365
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.119
and now I feel like you are. If you're gonna
366
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.839
keep playing these games, you're just gonna make it worse
367
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.279
on yourself instead of just being honest with me. That's
368
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.720
all I'm asking you to do. Okay, I'm not trying
369
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:54.599
to take your kids.
370
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:55.559
I don't care.
371
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.079
About taking your kids. I care about finding out what
372
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.759
happened and finding out the truth. That's all I'm after
373
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:07.200
is the truth. But you keep saying, okay, but you
374
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.400
don't want to tell me the truth about what happened.
375
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.799
I thought that I don't want to and I'm just
376
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.440
trying to remember because I'm all frazzled because of this
377
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.119
is crazy, that's all.
378
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.480
He continues to withhold the truth. Another detective steps in
379
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.160
and takes a more direct approach.
380
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.839
The road established the timeline. He was the only one
381
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.599
with the kid. Okay, Okay, this kid has very bad injuries,
382
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.720
Okay to its end, Okay, something that only could have
383
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.200
happened whenever the kid was with you today. Okay. And
384
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.079
I'm going to give you the opportunity to let not
385
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.759
look like this monster sitting here that's not telling the truth,
386
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:51.480
and be a compassionate young woman and tell us what
387
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.319
happened to this child. Okay. If not, then I'm going
388
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.039
to make you out to be the monster that you are,
389
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.160
the babies and surgery and may die. Do you want
390
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:09.720
to get a killer or you want remorseful, then tell
391
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:22.680
me what happened to that child. This is your opportunity.
392
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.160
I'm listening only.
393
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.519
So I put her down for her nap. That was true.
394
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.880
That was it was in her crib.
395
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.039
On the way back, Audrey had a toy on the
396
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.599
floor and I accidentally tripped.
397
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:55.319
You should be for life. I was scared, but I
398
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.400
also needed you to You had all the opportunity to
399
00:19:59.400 --> 00:19:59.839
cry before.
400
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.240
I'm sorry.
401
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.440
I'm not very remorseful right now because you sat here
402
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.079
and lied. Okay, but I also want you to tell
403
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:11.480
the entire story where he tripped. What hit her head?
404
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.079
Because something hit her head very badly. She has skull
405
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.920
fractures across the whole back of her head. Okay, so
406
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.920
start over and tell me what happened. If you tripped,
407
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.039
you tell me what what she hit, what you did afterwards, everything.
408
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:26.640
Okay.
409
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.279
So I was walking, like I said, from the crib,
410
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:35.359
which is in the my bedroom, like out of the
411
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.799
hallway into the living room. There was a big like
412
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.200
my son's big monster truck right there, and I fell over.
413
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:45.519
And like I like.
414
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.200
Tripped and she fell out of my hands and just
415
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.839
hit the floor. Like I don't I don't remember anything
416
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.359
being underneath her head.
417
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:59.960
The bruising is I wouldn't say cylindrical, but long, okay,
418
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.680
like edge of the crib, edge of the wall, edge
419
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.839
of this is he's being serious about I can. I
420
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.400
can give the doctor's information about what happened.
421
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.000
I'm just trying to remember what if, like there was
422
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.799
anything under her head. All I know is I tripped
423
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.079
and fell, and yeah, her head hit The trailer of
424
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.799
the part was like this walk and then what happened?
425
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.799
And then I picked her up and called ninety one.
426
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:32.519
Does that whenever she had the stiff and had a
427
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.400
seizure life, whenever she hit her head.
428
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:39.480
Yes, and her eyes were like doing bad and breaking up.
429
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:41.039
I didn't need to fall.
430
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.480
So your first in classion of having an accident with
431
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.039
a two ninnth old child was to save yourself and
432
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.279
not tell somebody what happened.
433
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:01.480
I was just skim.
434
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.400
The detective leaves the room to provide an update, while
435
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.680
the other remains with Holly, still questioning how the baby
436
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.160
could have landed on the same toy Holly tripped over.
437
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:13.599
He allows her to demonstrate the fall.
438
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.240
I was walking with him like this, and I guess
439
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.279
I tripped and fell because I remember my foot going
440
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.960
like this and then I get like, I guess my
441
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.759
foot kicked it.
442
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.279
And then when she fell, she felt like this on it.
443
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.720
So man, when when she fell? How did you did
444
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.680
you drop her? Did you go down with her? Like? How?
445
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:35.400
How does that like show me exactly like how it went?
446
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:39.039
Okay, I'm trying to Okay, So I tripped, my foot
447
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.240
had her and then I guess it ticked that.
448
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.359
So then I fell and I guess I let go
449
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.480
of her because that's when she hit her.
450
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:49.839
Head like that.
451
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.200
Like I guess this would be because I gots her head.
452
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.480
Did you drop her from up top all the way
453
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:00.920
or what?
454
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.480
I think? I had her like mid and then I
455
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.759
lost yeah, then I.
456
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:10.240
Lost my ballant then you dropped her going yeah, and
457
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.680
so did you drop her completely?
458
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:18.720
Okay? So she hit the floor, I think she like.
459
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.759
I think she hit the back of the toy like
460
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.759
on the trailer part. I'll just show you. It's a
461
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:29.359
big like to my like plastic truck.
462
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.359
I wish I had a picture of it, but yeah, right,
463
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.680
but I didn't like purposely hurt her or you know,
464
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.079
like purposely hit her on the floor.
465
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.200
Where is it?
466
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:50.599
Huh, it's just the way in the living room.
467
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.839
Did you move it? Yeah, we moved in Okay, we I.
468
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.319
Mean I did.
469
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.640
Yeah, you said we sorry?
470
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.640
No, no, no, no, it was me.
471
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:00.519
The plastic truck and trailer was found at the home,
472
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.920
though investigators noted that dust particles were present on top
473
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.799
of the toy and it didn't appear to have been disturbed.
474
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.559
I feel like you're all right, and I don't like it. Okay.
475
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.599
Have I treated you like you're an idiot? Have I
476
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.599
insulted you in any which way by treating you like
477
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.119
you're an idiot? Don't do the same thing to me. Okay,
478
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:21.519
that's exactly what you're doing.
479
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.519
And I don't like it.
480
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.079
Understand, what are they going to find? What's different from
481
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:33.799
what you have told me? So and really diggy today.
482
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:45.400
So I told twice today, but the first time was
483
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.920
this morning before this accident. And she did not hit
484
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.920
her head. So you felt twice with her in your arm.
485
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:55.839
Yes.
486
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:01.920
And I usually don't drink coffee, and I drink like
487
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:04.559
two cups of coffee because I was tired, and I've
488
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.079
been like really shaky today and dizzy. So say, here's
489
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:13.319
the couch. So here's the couch.
490
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.960
And like I said, I laid I lay her like
491
00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:17.519
on the couch and a kneel, right.
492
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.079
So, and after I changed her diaper and her clothes
493
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.039
to the pink umsie which the black pants, I picked
494
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.039
her up and I went to go throw the diaper
495
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.640
in the trash in the kitchen, and I was in
496
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.920
my socks and I just kind of lost my balance.
497
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.759
I was kind of like I got really really dizzy,
498
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.119
and I like and this time I had her like
499
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:46.559
cradled and I kind of just fell like straight down
500
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.319
and I sat there for a minute and I like
501
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.400
saw stars and then I got up, so I like
502
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.480
clinched onto her so she didn't fall, she didn't hit
503
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.680
her head. But I just wanted to tell you that
504
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.880
because but that's not really impertinent to like her head injury.
505
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.319
She's got two skull pressures on all sides of that.
506
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.079
Okay, okay, yes, if you get hit on.
507
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.519
This side, you're not gonna have a skull precture on
508
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:22.880
the side. You understand again, stop understand. I I don't
509
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:24.039
know why you keep doing that.
510
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.759
The detective asked Holly to demonstrate again exactly how the
511
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.039
baby fell, not once but twice.
512
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.880
Like you're going to drop this when she dropped drop it, yeah, okay,
513
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:35.839
I just didn't know drop it all right.
514
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.519
My feelings any okay.
515
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.759
So like I had her and I tripped and she
516
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.920
fell like right here.
517
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.079
Like that, and the truck, the truck, okay. Then second
518
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:46.200
time okay.
519
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.119
So I was on my side and I think at
520
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.960
that time she hit like the on the right side,
521
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:57.480
like I mean, it looked like she fell just straight down,
522
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.319
not really any particular her side. So that's where I'm
523
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.480
kind of confused to why she has too you know.
524
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.279
Yeah, okay, so you go to pick her up.
525
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.240
Yeah, So I kind of did this and I grabbed
526
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:21.359
her like this, and I did this, and I got like,
527
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.079
I don't know how you would say that, like off
528
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:32.359
balance okay, and just dropped her.
529
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:40.200
Hold drop her like that a second time, dropping from
530
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:41.559
even how tall are you?
531
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.960
Like five six and a half five six and a
532
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.359
half five feet six.
533
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.960
Inches, It's not going to cause his skull fracture to happen.
534
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.359
It takes a tremendous amount of force. She either had
535
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.960
to hit something that's super hard, okay with this, or
536
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:05.079
you had to grab her be so frustrated and mad that.
537
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:05.799
You slammed her.
538
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.279
You understand, you can't change the laws of physics.
539
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:11.799
As much as you want.
540
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.799
To, you can't, okay, Just like you can't change the
541
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:20.359
gravitational pool on how fast somebody falls. You cannot change that.
542
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.400
Okay.
543
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.640
Well you're telling me about just dropping her and her
544
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.079
falling down is not going to cause that amount of damage.
545
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.079
Well, I just wanted to tell you what the absolute.
546
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:36.640
So you dropped her about halfway down, about three feet
547
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.680
off the ground when you tripped, and she hit the
548
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:42.599
first The first times the thing, you picked her up,
549
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.559
and the last time you're fully up. He said, you
550
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.319
dropped her again, And that's what happened.
551
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.599
Yes, and that's not going to change no what Holly
552
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.240
now committed to her revised story, Investigators turned their attention
553
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:56.799
to why she made an attempt to cover up the truth.
554
00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:59.039
Why did you tell anybody to begin with?
555
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.920
Because I was scared to get locked up?
556
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.599
But here I am.
557
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:11.880
Accidents happen all the time when you move heard up,
558
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.440
look at me. I need you to stop crying right now, okay,
559
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.519
because you've cried so many different times for so many
560
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:24.640
different reasons that I don't even know if it's the
561
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.880
truth right now, that you're actually feeling remorseful.
562
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.759
I am, you get what I'm saying, Like, I don't
563
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.000
even know, Like how were you even able to look
564
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.240
at that mother and just so cold not feel terrible
565
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.079
and remorseful for.
566
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.559
What you did?
567
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.279
Like I cried the whole way from my house to
568
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:46.119
meeting her at the hospital, and her and her husband
569
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:49.240
were already like bawling. I didn't want to add to that.
570
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.440
Though Holly repeatedly claimed she was crying over the incident,
571
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.319
Cora's grandmother said that when she arrived to pick up
572
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.039
the four year old, it was Doretta who was in tears,
573
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.720
while Holly appeared completely straight faced.
574
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.119
I mean, I didn't feel like you guys are thinking
575
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.440
I'm going to just throw this baby on.
576
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.359
Honestly, I think that's what you did. I think that's
577
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:13.119
exactly what you did, and you just don't want to
578
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.880
say it because you're afraid of any consequences or whatever.
579
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:18.039
But I honestly think.
580
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:18.680
That's what it is.
581
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.039
What it is, I think your anxiety, she was cranky.
582
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.880
It's not your baby. You don't know what it's normal
583
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:28.920
things are. Your anxiety kicked in and before you knew it,
584
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.319
you were doing something that that you're like, holy craft,
585
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.359
that's not what I meant to do. I think that's
586
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:38.880
what happened, And I hate that you think that you're
587
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:40.480
the one that's gonna have to explain it to them,
588
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.440
And you're the one's gonna have to explain why A
589
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:44.799
and B doing it up to see the doctor at
590
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.319
the children's hospital is going to tell us exactly what
591
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:50.640
happened and how it happened and how hard that the
592
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:56.119
baby's skull was hit. Okay, babies and young children, they
593
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.200
are the hardest ones to break bones because they're not
594
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.720
set like yours or mine. Their bones are still growing.
595
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.400
They're really really flexible. You really have to do something
596
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.119
with a lot of force to be able to break
597
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.039
their bones. You can't change that, and you can't hide.
598
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.519
That, Like, I don't know what you're wanting me to do.
599
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:16.799
I'm not gonna lie and say I just dropped her
600
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.559
because I'm mad.
601
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:23.799
I would never do that on purpose ever, Like, yes,
602
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.400
I have anxiety, Yes I have depression, I have all
603
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.359
this stuff. I'm on meds for it and trying does
604
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.359
not bother me. Like my kids whine all the time.
605
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:35.839
I don't hit them, and I don't abuse them.
606
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:40.480
I'm not an abuser. So I mean, I don't know
607
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:43.720
what you want me to tell you. I didn't purposely
608
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:47.759
throw her or purposely drop her. Like I'm already locked up.
609
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.680
There's no point in lying to you, or lying to
610
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.319
the judge or whoever else I talk to. There's no point.
611
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:03.599
But I don't know why you're putting in Joel when
612
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:05.160
I didn't do it on purpose.
613
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.759
You lied several times about why you did what you did.
614
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.960
Because I didn't want my cats to be taken away,
615
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:16.240
and now they are.
616
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.920
Though she maintains this new version of events is the
617
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:23.880
honest truth, a shocking revelation will soon shed an entirely
618
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:27.200
new light on the case. For now, she's arrested and
619
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.559
booked into the k County Detention Center. Five days later,
620
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.559
officers present a warrant to search her phone and face
621
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:34.559
a new challenge.
622
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.319
The password to your Oh gosh, she would ask me that.
623
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:42.599
I, like I have don't have it in my hands, so.
624
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:45.519
I'm trying to remember.
625
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:52.000
Sorry, it's kind of inappropriate, Okay, Okay, So it's capital say.
626
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.559
T A Y.
627
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:54.680
T H E.
628
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:02.319
F U C K O U T twenty nine and
629
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:04.000
then four exclamation points.
630
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:08.480
Okay, so your password is a number on your phone
631
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:12.839
because it pops up with a number. So does it
632
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.519
also allow you to do letters? Because your password is
633
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.440
just like any other phone? Yeah, so like whenever you
634
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:20.400
click on the phone.
635
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:20.839
Yeah.
636
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.319
Still, Holly insists that her phone doesn't have a numeric
637
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.680
password and never supplies one. Investigators later obtained the correct
638
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.920
pin code from her husband Sam. They discovered that while
639
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:35.440
at the crime scene, Holly made several Internet searches, including
640
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.039
can a seizure cause a brain bleed? Will a two
641
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.160
month old survive a brain bleed? And what happens if
642
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.359
a baby has a fractured skull? But it's what Duretta
643
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:48.319
told investigators during her interview that truly left them stunned.
644
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.960
Did she tell you before the same situation before it
645
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.400
has happened.
646
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.480
No, she didn't mention that, So what's happened before?
647
00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.880
Should I say anything?
648
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.480
Doretta has? But after the detective pointed out that Holly
649
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:05.480
tried placing the blame on her, she started to share
650
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.839
what she knew, probably about.
651
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:09.440
She had three other kids.
652
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:12.400
She was married, was a babysit for this lady, and
653
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.079
the lady brought the baby over and Holly's husband was
654
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.679
there too, so when the baby came, she brought the
655
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.039
baby over that she put the car seat down on
656
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.760
the couch and they had the blanket over. I don't know,
657
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:25.679
I forget this little boy little girl over, Remember, she said.
658
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.960
The mom told her she don't have to take the
659
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.320
blanket off because she sleeps all the time. Well, Holly
660
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.840
took it off and there's a bump on the baby's head.
661
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.760
They called the NamUs, took the baby to the hospital.
662
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:40.039
The baby died.
663
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.000
The case, which occurred in Oklahoma City in twenty eighteen,
664
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:48.199
bears striking similarities that are impossible to ignore. She'd met
665
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.960
the mom on Facebook and began babysitting her three week
666
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.400
old infant. Three days later, Holly reported there was something
667
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.400
wrong with the baby. She was rushed to the hospital,
668
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.280
where it was discovered the baby had multiple skull frackures
669
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.320
and bleeding in the brain, resulting in her death. However,
670
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.159
according to news articles at the time, police were unable
671
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.920
to prove the injury happened under Holly's care, and no
672
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.880
charges wherever filed. Now, in a case that echoes the past,
673
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:18.639
baby Cora is fighting to stay alive, still searching for answers.
674
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:22.360
Investigators follow up with Deretta and Sam, hoping Holly may
675
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:23.960
have shared the truth with one of them.
676
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:32.920
Cora's injuries are not plausible from what she told us, Okay,
677
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:40.880
on pot on any of it, Yes, yes, dropping the baby,
678
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.920
the baby being hit, all that stuff, that's that's not
679
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.960
a possibility. How she's telling me that it occurred is
680
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:50.840
not a possibility. Okay, Now, I know whenever I spoke
681
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.119
to you, you knew about the incident that happened in
682
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.320
Oklahoma City. Okay, you didn't bring that up to me.
683
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.559
So that's why I'm here. She told you anything about that?
684
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:04.480
How she told you anything about what happened to Oklahoma City?
685
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:06.880
Because I'll be honest with you. The Oklahoma City thing
686
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.480
met somebody on Facebook was babysitting baby, was in a
687
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:21.599
car seat, head trauma, skull fractures, frame belief. Did you
688
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.400
question her about this after this incident? About this one, yes,
689
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.880
like about the Oklahoma City in this because I mean
690
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.480
they're mirrored.
691
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.159
Like I said, I didn't find out about the truck
692
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.679
until yesterday at the meeting, and then it clicked and
693
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.400
you guys took it.
694
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.639
Yeah, I didn't know story truck. I mean it was
695
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:41.800
there that morning, and I don't know what the little
696
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.400
girls told you. But she was out over her playing,
697
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:48.639
So I don't know if they questioned her, if she
698
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:50.639
mentioned about something.
699
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:55.119
I don't know, I know, big question.
700
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.199
According to Cora's grandmother, or she asked the four year
701
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:04.480
old if her sister had fallen. The girl initially said no,
702
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.840
but later stated the couch hit baby sister.
703
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:15.320
So all she's told you is just that she went
704
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.880
into the room, picked up the baby, came back out,
705
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:25.239
tripped over the truck, and dropped the baby day put
706
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:26.000
in the car seat.
707
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:27.079
Just one time.
708
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.360
Yeah, all she said was one time. There's one message
709
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:35.079
on there that I asked about it, and she wanted
710
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.880
to know what I wanted to know, and I told
711
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.480
her I want to know the truth. She said that
712
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.920
she didn't drop the baby twice and that you misunderstood
713
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:43.559
her or something.
714
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.960
No, I didn't. She told me that I did not
715
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:52.800
misunderstand her. She flat out told me I dropped the
716
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:57.760
baby twice. If there's anything at all that she has
717
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.880
told you, where she's telling you what happened to that
718
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.719
to Kora. You you need to let us know.
719
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:06.880
I definitely will.
720
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:08.719
You need to let us know if she tells you
721
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:12.719
anything about what happened in Oklahoma City, or or if
722
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.519
you know anything about what happened in Oklahoma City, you
723
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.360
need to let us know. Because I'm telling you right
724
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.880
now from experience Oklahoma City, and this is mirrored. It's mirrored.
725
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.000
Still. Sam insists that he was lied to and has
726
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:29.960
no new information. In uncovered Facebook conversations with his brother,
727
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.000
Sam expressed frustration over being lied to by Holly, adding
728
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.599
that he needs to cut ties and contact for the
729
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.960
sake of his kids. Holly meanwhile continued to send him
730
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:43.320
text from the jail's messaging system, begging him not to
731
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.719
leave her. Whatever the truth about Cora may be, it
732
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.880
isn't revealed in any of the messages.
733
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:50.800
I just don't know what could happen.
734
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:55.880
From what you should.
735
00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:58.840
I don't think it was unvented. I really think that
736
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:03.840
it's not from a fall. I couldn't tell you only
737
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:06.880
only she would be able to answer that question. But
738
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.280
it's not from It's not how she's telling us that
739
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:09.800
it happened.
740
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:12.800
Hally's refusal to give a clear account has left the
741
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:16.039
truth about what happened to Cora a mystery, but against
742
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:20.199
all odds, the infant survived. Cora's mother posted this video
743
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:23.559
update to Facebook on August twenty ninth, twenty twenty three.
744
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:25.159
Yes missed.
745
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.920
So as a fast from the hospital to Jay Yay.
746
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.119
We're so excited we get to the art.
747
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:43.719
While baby Cora suffers from ongoing health complications, she continues
748
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.320
to persevere and celebrated her second birthday in April of
749
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.199
twenty twenty five. Mackenzie chronicles her ongoing recovery and continues
750
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.519
to provide updates on her Facebook page, Cora's Journey. Twenty
751
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:59.480
six year old Holly Marie Shephard was formally charged with
752
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:03.159
filanny child abuse, placed on a five hundred thousand dollars bond,
753
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:07.039
and ordered no contact with miners. She didn't post bond
754
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.639
and remained in custody, receiving only a temporary medical release
755
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.360
due to her being pregnant, with a court order requiring
756
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.719
her to report back to jail immediately after hospital discharge.
757
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.239
The current placement and care of Holly's infant are unknown.
758
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:23.920
On November twenty six, twenty twenty four, Holly entered a
759
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:27.320
plea of no contest in Chorus case. She was sentenced
760
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.000
to life in prison, with eligibility for parole after twenty
761
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.000
five years. In twenty twenty five, while serving her life sentence,
762
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.280
Holly was separately charged with first degree murder in connection
763
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.119
to the twenty eighteen death of a three week old infant,
764
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.360
a development that offered hope for resolution in the case.
765
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.840
After seven years, she entered a plea of not guilty,
766
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.079
and the case is still ongoing, with a hearing scheduled
767
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.400
for October twenty twenty five. If you'd like to see
