1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>There are over two hundred thousand unsolved homicides in the

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>United States justice system right now, and many of those

3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>cases haven't seen the light of day in years, decades.

4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>In some instances, the case files and evidence are sitting

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>in a box on a dusty shelf and a basement,

6
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>forgotten by law enforcement and the media, while the families

7
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and friends left behind wait for answers and fight for justice.

8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes there is nobody left to remember or to speak

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>up on behalf of the victim.

10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm Marlene and I'm Leah, and that is exactly what

11
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>Box in the Basement sets out to do. To shine

12
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 2>a light on those forgotten victims and to bring attention

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>to unsolved murders and disappearances. We want to help families

14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>tell their stories, and we want to assist the families

15
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and friends of victims find the resources and support they

16
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>need to continue their fight for justice. Join us every

24
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey guys, it's me CJ. I hope everyone is healthy,

25
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>both physically and mentally. Well, here we are into a

26
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 4>new month already, sheeshaw, the time flies. My pup Jack

27
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 4>will be two years old on the twenty fifth of

28
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 4>this month. Incidentally, he shares the same birthday as my

29
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 4>paternal grandmother, who was a lesbian. Not too much to

30
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 4>report here on the coast of Oregon. So if it's

31
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 4>okay with all of you, I think we'll just get

32
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 4>into our case. You know, I'm always warning the guys

33
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 4>to be careful on Grinder in their dating apps. Well,

34
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>this one is for the women, a cautionary tell of

35
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 4>what could be out there lurking, and right now I'm

36
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 4>gonna warn you this case does involve rape. So if

37
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 4>you need to duck out for your mental health, I

38
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 4>get it. The case I have for you. This episode

39
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 4>is from Evansville, Indiana in twenty twenty one. It involves

40
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 4>two bisexual women and two what I assume to be

41
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 4>straight men, but it is a case that was masterminded

42
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 4>by one of the bisexual women. In June of twenty

43
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty one, thirty seven year old Heidi Kathleen Carter was

44
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 4>engaged to be married. She was engaged to forty seven

45
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 4>year old Carrie Hammond. Carrie did not live in the

46
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Stintson Avenue home with Heidi because he had to live

47
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 4>in a work released safe house. And I'm assuming this

48
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 4>was from Carrie's past life of crime. But every morning

49
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 4>at seven thirty am, Carrie would visit Heidi after he

50
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 4>got off of work. Meanwhile, Heidi would make posts to

51
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 4>her friends on social media platforms about how she really

52
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 4>wanted a pet, a submissive little slut that her and

53
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Carrie could have all the time, anytime, and somebody they

54
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 4>could do whatever they wanted to. The following month, Heidi

55
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 4>sent another message to a different friend and she admitted

56
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 4>she was a sociopath who enjoyed righteous violence. In August,

57
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 4>she sent that same friend another message claiming, when I'm

58
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 4>done using and abusing her, then sell her or dispose.

59
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 4>By the end of September twenty twenty one, Heidi copied

60
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 4>and sent those messages to her fiancee, Carrie. She added,

61
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 4>I have not found anyone yet. I have a feeling

62
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 4>you're going to have to be the one to get

63
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 4>a girl. If by chance there's an opportunity and you're

64
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>able to bring home a candidate, then don't be ridiculous.

65
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 4>Bring the pet home. In October, Heidi placed an ad

66
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 4>on a lesbian website. She was asking for a woman

67
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 4>to come and joined her and her fiancee for sexual activities,

68
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 4>and when't you know it, a woman named Amanda Cebee

69
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 4>placed a very similar ad to Heide's, but Amanda's ad

70
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 4>was for her and her boyfriend. Heidi and Amanda connected

71
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 4>on the site and the exchange phone numbers to text

72
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 4>each other. The women discussed restraints, sexual activity, and boundaries

73
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 4>via text. Amanda didn't have any issues with being bound

74
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 4>but she drew a line at anything anal. Amanda invited

75
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>Heidi to her place, in which Heidi quickly declined, saying

76
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 4>her fiance would not be okay with that, and he

77
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 4>would even kill someone over her, which I don't know

78
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 4>about you guys, but to me, that would have been

79
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>a major red flag indicating that this guy must be

80
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 4>prone to violence. But Heidi and Amanda forged on. In

81
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 4>their conversation, Amanda suggested that her and Tim meet Heidi

82
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 4>at a local park. Heidi said her fiancee wouldn't have it.

83
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 4>Then she told Amanda as long as Tim didn't touch her,

84
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Tim would be fine. On October nineteenth, Heidi would text

85
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Amanda in the early hours of the morning, Hey, can

86
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 4>you come fuck me? Your dude can watch. Amanda had

87
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 4>just dropped some meth and she responded with good timing,

88
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 4>I was just getting fucked up. Heidi and Amanda agreed

89
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 4>to meet at a local park, but Amanda never went

90
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 4>anywhere without Tim, so he would accompany her to the park.

91
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 4>As the couple set out to meet Heidi. They arrived

92
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 4>at the park at three thirty a m yep in

93
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 4>the wee hours of the night, but there was no Heidi.

94
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Amanda text said Heidi that she and Tim were at

95
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 4>the park and they were waiting. A few minutes passed

96
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 4>and Amanda texted Heidi again. She asked where are you?

97
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 4>When no response came, Amanda texted her that her and

98
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 4>Tim were going to go home. Then Heidi texted her

99
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 4>address At three forty four a m Amanda texted that

100
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 4>she and Tim were there. When the couple were let

101
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 4>into Heide's house on Stinton avenue. Heidi had a friend over.

102
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 4>The four smoked some meth, and Heidi went and took

103
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 4>a shower. When Heidi got out of the shower, the

104
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 4>friend left and then the three individuals watched some porn.

105
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 4>After that, it was time to get down and dirty.

106
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 4>While the initial arrangement was for Tim to watch the

107
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 4>two women engaging in sex, it didn't take long for

108
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 4>the women to decide to have Tim join them. Heidi

109
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 4>strapped on and was having sex with Amanda while Tim

110
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>was having sex with Heidi. Now, the court documents get

111
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 4>a little more graphic with this sexual encounter than I'm

112
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 4>going to get during the course of the sex. Carrie

113
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 4>was right on time for his seven thirty daily visit

114
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 4>to Heidie's. He walked in and he saw Tim on Heidi.

115
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 4>He grabbed a baseball bat and he started swinging the

116
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 4>bat into the back of Tim's head. Amanda jumped up

117
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 4>from the bed and onto Carrie's back to get him

118
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 4>to stop hitting Tim. Heidi then grabbed Amanda by her hair,

119
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 4>threw her to the ground, and put a pistol into

120
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 4>her face. Carrie continued to beat Tim with the bat.

121
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Then he turned around and swinging the bat like a

122
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 4>golf club. He drove the bat into the back of

123
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Amanda's head. Loudly. Carrie stated that there would be no

124
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 4>witnesses and that both Tim and Amanda had to die.

125
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Heide said she knew somebody close by who would help

126
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 4>dispose of the bodies. The couple of Carrie and Heidie

127
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 4>bound Tim's hands and feet. Then they covered his face

128
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 4>and dug tape. After that, they each proceeded to kick him.

129
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 4>They bound Amanda on the bed with velcrow restraints that

130
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 4>were already in place there. Heidi told Carry to do

131
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 4>whatever he wanted to Amanda. She continued to encourage him

132
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 4>to rape her. She even told Carrie to stick the

133
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 4>baseball bat into Amanda's anis. Carrie did rape Amanda repeatedly.

134
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 4>When Carrie was done, he and Heidi had sex on

135
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 4>the bed next to where Amanda lay. When the sex

136
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 4>was done, Heidi demanded Amanda's password for her phone. She

137
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 4>opened up Amanda's phone and she saw it was Amanda's

138
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 4>daughter's eighteenth birthday. Heidi told Amanda she needed to cooperate

139
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 4>or they'd get her daughter and do terrible things to

140
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 4>her too. Heidi then left the house to go find

141
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 4>someone to clean the house for her. While Heidi was away,

142
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 4>Tim regained consciousness. He thought he was late for work.

143
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 4>He then realized he couldn't see because it was duc

144
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 4>day over his eyes. Tim started to freak out a little,

145
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.320
<v Speaker 4>in which Amanda was able to calm him down some.

146
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 4>But Tim told her he had to pee, and then

147
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 4>he really freaked out and he started screaming. Carrie came

148
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 4>into the room, told him to shut up, and then

149
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 4>he kicked Tim. Tim had a red cloth tied around

150
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 4>his neck. Carrie grabbed a hold of it and he

151
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 4>strangled Tim to death. A sobbing Amanda was still bound

152
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 4>by velcrow and angered to the bed. Carrie continued on

153
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 4>with his rage, asking Amanda if she thought this was

154
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 4>a game, and then he told Amanda she was not

155
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 4>going to go home. Once again, Carrie raped Amanda. Heidi

156
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 4>went to a house that was being renovated, and she

157
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 4>found a woman named Cynthia to come clean her house.

158
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Heidi had met Cynthia the day prior and the two

159
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 4>women had smoked some meth together. Heidi convinced Cynthia to

160
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 4>come back to her home to clean the house. She

161
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 4>told her that her landlord was coming by for an

162
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 4>inspection later, and she really needed the place to look good,

163
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 4>so Cynthia followed her home. Carrie, of course, was pissed

164
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 4>off that Heidie had brought Cynthia back with her, but

165
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Cynthia got right to work cleaning first. It was a

166
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 4>mess of dog poop and dog pee out in the

167
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.759
<v Speaker 4>front of the house area inside, not outside, more like

168
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 4>a living area. And this makes me even angrier at

169
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 4>this bitch, Heidie. She is so worried about getting her

170
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 4>pussy pounded, she neglects her dogs. Look this bitch. With

171
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Cynthia busy in the front of the house, Carrie and

172
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 4>Heidi went to the master bedroom and they wrapped up

173
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Tim's body in blankets. Soon they dragged his body into

174
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.799
<v Speaker 4>the dining room and they piled clothing and clutter on

175
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 4>top of it. Heidi left the house again to go

176
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 4>get cigarettes and food. Cynthia had finished up with the

177
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 4>front part of the house and she was ready to

178
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 4>move into the dining room to clean. Carrie convinced Cynthia

179
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 4>to take a break. On this break, Carrie and Cynthia

180
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 4>smoked some meth and they talked. Then, when Cynthia had

181
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 4>made an off colored joke about cross dressing. Carrie grabbed

182
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 4>the bat sitting next to him, and he told her

183
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 4>to shut up or he'd bash her head in two.

184
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.519
<v Speaker 4>Cynthia told him she just wanted to leave, and he

185
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 4>told her not until Heidi came back. Heidie returned a

186
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 4>couple of hours later, but she had no cigarettes or

187
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 4>food with her. Shortered a pizza that was delivered. Around

188
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker 4>ten thirty pm. The three moved into the dining room

189
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.519
<v Speaker 4>to eat. Carrie told Cynthia to take a seat on

190
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 4>what looked to be a very large ottoman. It was

191
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 4>covered in blankets, clothing, and clutter. Carrie said it was

192
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 4>a Christmas tree underneath Christmas tree. Tim before Cynthia sat,

193
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 4>she saw one of Heidie's dogs go to the ottoman,

194
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 4>sniff it, and back up quickly from it. Heidie commented

195
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 4>that the dog didn't even want to be near something

196
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 4>like that. Cynthia finally sat down on the ottoman. Within

197
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 4>a few minutes, she put her hands on it and

198
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 4>she realized she was sitting on a body. She screamed,

199
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>grabbed her backpack, and ran out of the house. As

200
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Cynthia was fleeing, she heard a woman's voice calling from

201
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 4>the back of the house for help. About four houses

202
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 4>down from Heidie's, Cynthia saw a state trooper's vehicle parked

203
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.159
<v Speaker 4>in a driveway. She ran to the house and she

204
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 4>pounded on the door until the trooper answered. She told

205
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 4>him that she had seen a dead body in a

206
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 4>house down the street and there was a woman there

207
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 4>being held hostage. The state trooper called local law enforcement

208
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 4>and several officers arrived at Heidie's house. They apprehended Heidi

209
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 4>first because she was outside standing by her van. When

210
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.279
<v Speaker 4>she was padded down, officers found a loaded handgun that

211
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 4>was stuffed into her pants. Then Carrie emerged from the house.

212
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 4>He was carrying something in his hand that looked to

213
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 4>officers like a gun. They ordered him to drop what

214
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 4>was in his hand, but Carrie wouldn't do it. Officers

215
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 4>opened fire on Carrie, killing him. Inside the house, law

216
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 4>enforcement discovered Tim's body, and they found a bound Amanda,

217
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 4>who had some major injuries, but she was still alive.

218
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 4>During Heidie's two hour interrogation, she told officers that she

219
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 4>didn't call nine one one because she was afraid of Carrie.

220
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Although it sounds to me like Heidie was calling almost

221
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 4>all the shots, and from what Amanda said about Hidie

222
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Speaker 4>encouraging Carrie to raper this, this is all on Heidi,

223
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 4>not Carrie. Carrie was just the idiot who got involved

224
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 4>with her, and he had obviously some very bad jealousy

225
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 4>and anger issues. Heidi also denied having any involvement in

226
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 4>any of the crimes committed against Tim and Amanda. The

227
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 4>medical examiner had a rough time determining Tim's cause of death.

228
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 4>The medical examiner said it could have been one of

229
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 4>three things. He was either manually strangled by hands. Two,

230
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 4>it could have been a ligature strangulation like with the

231
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 4>red cloth. Or three, Tim might have suffocated from all

232
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 4>the duct tape that enclosed his face. I'm not betting

233
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 4>on the last one. Although he might have had duct

234
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 4>tape around his head and face, he was still able

235
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 4>to get enough oxygen to wake up from unconsciousness and

236
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.159
<v Speaker 4>to talk to Amanda and yell. My money is on

237
00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:00.399
<v Speaker 4>the red cloth ligature strangulation, but all three were potentially fatal.

238
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.399
<v Speaker 4>In October of twenty twenty one, the state charged Heidi

239
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 4>with murder felony murder, level one felony rape, three counts

240
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.600
<v Speaker 4>of level three felony criminal confinement and Level five felony

241
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 4>carrying a handgun without a license. The murder and rape

242
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 4>charges were based on accomplice liability. In November of twenty

243
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 4>twenty two, Heidi's trial had still not been conducted and

244
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>two more charges were added. That of two additional charges

245
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 4>of level one felony rape, with level one being the

246
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.279
<v Speaker 4>highest and most serious of levels. I really don't want

247
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 4>to bore you with all the details of Heidie's trial.

248
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.000
<v Speaker 4>There seemed to be a lot of back and forth,

249
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 4>with some of the charges being dropped while other charges

250
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 4>were amped up levels. After it was all said and

251
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 4>done and Amanda had to go and relive it all

252
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 4>again in court, Mighty Carter was sentenced to sixty five

253
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 4>years of incarceration. This happened on March sixteenth, twenty twenty three.

254
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 4>She was given five hundred and five days of credit

255
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:16.559
<v Speaker 4>for time served so far, and she has appilled her case.

256
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 4>In May of twenty twenty four, her appeal was denied

257
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 4>and her sentence stood as is now, provided she serves

258
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 4>out the whole sentence and isn't released early, and provided

259
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 4>she lives through prison. She is not set to be

260
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 4>released until twenty eighty five. By the way, the object

261
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 4>in Carrie's hand that appeared to be a gun, it

262
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 4>was something else that was twisted to look like a gun.

263
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 4>In my opinion, the cops made a good kill with

264
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 4>Carrie rest and power Tim live in Power Amanda our

265
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 4>true crime Quickie. This episode is from Beaver County, Pennsylvania

266
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty one. Did you know that twenty twenty

267
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 4>one so far has the highest record of trans folks murdered?

268
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 4>Fifty seven trans people were reported to have been murdered

269
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 4>that year. Now that doesn't count the John and Jane

270
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 4>does that are possibly trans, does or any that were

271
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:22.160
<v Speaker 4>murdered and not found as of yet. Sixteen year old

272
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 4>Jeffrey JJ Bright was a trans boy trying to live

273
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 4>his truth while in the care of his mother, forty

274
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:33.000
<v Speaker 4>eight year old Chriscinda Bright. He also lived with his sister,

275
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 4>twenty two year old Jasmine Kennedy. Neighbors of the family

276
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.079
<v Speaker 4>said that the single mother and her two children had

277
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 4>been living in the home for about five years or so,

278
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 4>so since like twenty sixteen. Another neighbor went on to

279
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 4>say that the whole family was extremely nice. They'd briefly

280
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 4>chit chat as Chriscinda, Jeffrey, and Jasmine would walk their

281
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 4>dogs never and their wildest dreams. Did the neighbors ever

282
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 4>think they'd be watching Chriscinda being hauled off by police

283
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 4>for murdering her two children. February twenty second, twenty twenty one.

284
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 4>Chrisinda went upstairs where Jasmine lay sleeping. She pointed a

285
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 4>twelve gage shot gun at Jasmine's head and fired, striking

286
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 4>the sleeping girl. Chrisinda went back downstairs and then to

287
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 4>the basement where Jeffrey was. Chrisinda pointed the gun at Jeffrey,

288
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 4>but the gun somehow jammed. Jeffrey pleaded with his mother,

289
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 4>please don't shoot. I'm gonna call the police again. Chriscinda

290
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 4>fixed the gun on Jeffrey's face and pulled the trigger.

291
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 4>This time the gun didn't jam. Up. Fearing Jeffrey was

292
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 4>still alive, Chriscinda shot Jeffrey again. Calmly. Chrissinda went to

293
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 4>the house phone and called nine one one dispatch. In

294
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 4>a cool, very matter of fact voice. She told the

295
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 4>dispatch she had just shot her kids. When the police

296
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.200
<v Speaker 4>pulled up to the Maplewood Avenue home, Chrscinda was standing

297
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 4>on the front porch. She had blood on her hands, arms,

298
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:24.240
<v Speaker 4>and clothing. She told the police it wasn't hers. Chriscinda

299
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 4>was arrested at the scene and taken to the police

300
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:31.440
<v Speaker 4>station for interrogation. She admitted what she had done, saying

301
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 4>she had to because she was afraid her kids would

302
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 4>be taken from her and she did not want them

303
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 4>to suffer. But records showed there were no petitions ever

304
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.920
<v Speaker 4>filed for Jeffrey and Jasmine to be taken away. Plus,

305
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 4>Jasmine was twenty two years old, an adult she could

306
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 4>have left whenever she wanted to. Jeffrey was sixteen, two

307
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 4>years away from being in an adult age. Both kids

308
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 4>were good students, and they were both actively involved in

309
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:08.359
<v Speaker 4>a program called PRISM, which stands for Pride, Respect, Inspiration,

310
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.279
<v Speaker 4>Safety and mentoring. Both kids were said to be wonderful

311
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 4>and they had bright futures ahead of them. It became

312
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 4>apparent to authorities that Chriscinda suffered from some severe mental disorders.

313
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 4>She's a military veteran who's been treated for bipolar disorder, depression,

314
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 4>and social anxiety. In order to avoid the death penalty,

315
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.319
<v Speaker 4>Chriscinda pleaded guilty to two counts of first degree murder.

316
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 4>She had purchased her gun just two weeks prior to

317
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 4>murdering her kids. She told authorities she attempted to kill

318
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 4>them sooner, but she couldn't bring herself to do it

319
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:55.400
<v Speaker 4>until that February twenty second, after it was determined she

320
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.720
<v Speaker 4>was competent enough to stand trial, Chriscinda was sentenced to

321
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 4>new consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole in

322
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:09.640
<v Speaker 4>December of twenty twenty one. In twenty twenty four, Chriscinda

323
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 4>appealed her sentence, stating that her council was ineffective. Her

324
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 4>appeal was rejected and her sentence stands. I have no

325
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.720
<v Speaker 4>words for how fucked up this situation was. How can

326
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 4>any mother do something such as this to their own

327
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 4>beautiful children. Apparently Chriscinda wasn't always the monster she ended

328
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.240
<v Speaker 4>up being, because from all accounts, she raised them both,

329
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 4>and Jeffrey and Jasmine were awesome kids. I do, however,

330
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 4>wonder if she was struggling with the fact that Jeffrey

331
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 4>was a trans boy. Chriscinda's cousin said she was supportive

332
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 4>of both their kids' identities. Other resources say the kids

333
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:59.039
<v Speaker 4>had a complicated relationship with their mother. This could have

334
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 4>been in due to Christ and does mental health issues.

335
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 4>I guess rest and power Jeffrey and Jasmine, Oh my,

336
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:09.920
<v Speaker 4>I think I need to find us some happiness. After that,

337
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.480
<v Speaker 4>the Pennsylvania House approved a bill to update state law

338
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 4>and codify marriage equality right on Pennsylvania. Country music star

339
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Luke Combs publicly stated that his music and message of

340
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 4>unconditional love for children absolutely applies to queer kids too.

341
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.039
<v Speaker 4>I love that some country music celebrities are showing their

342
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 4>support for the LGBTQ and for anti hate because traditionally

343
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 4>country music roots are deep set into religion. Many are

344
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.000
<v Speaker 4>starting to see you can love both God and people

345
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:54.200
<v Speaker 4>no matter what people's truths are. And lastly, Taylor Brown

346
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.680
<v Speaker 4>made history as the first trans woman appointed to lead

347
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 4>a city office in New York. You go, big, Apple,

348
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.759
<v Speaker 4>and now I leave you with a joke. Although this

349
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 4>isn't a specific LGBTQ one, it's universal. I used to

350
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 4>be fucking stupid, but we broke up. I love you guys.

351
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 4>You matter so much. Remember it's not a crime to

352
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.319
<v Speaker 4>be gay or live your truth unless you're a murderer.

353
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Past test
