1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: Sword and Scale contains adult themes and violence, and is

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:05,679
not intended for all audiences.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,519
Speaker 2: Listener discretion is advised.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 3: And then I noticed some red in the water and

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,280
a blanket, a blue blanket with hair underneath, which I

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,039
had to convince myself with moss.

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you appreciate this one, because I had

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,120
to drag my depressed ass out of bed after what

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,799
happened in Minneapolis this week. This is Sword and Scale,

10
00:00:33,799 --> 00:01:27,959
episode three hundred and fifteen. Let's go, I guess. In

11
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,719
the quiet city of Beaverton, Oregon, life moves at a

12
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,319
predictable pace. Those who live there usually know what to expect.

13
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Families dine and cozy restaurants, children play in well kept parks,

14
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,319
and parents only rarely have to worry about the few

15
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,680
dreadlocked gypsies that have migrated from downtown Portland. And before

16
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,079
you complain about me using the word gypsy because it

17
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,799
offends you, just realize that I don't give a shit.

18
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:04,239
But despite a few dirty hippies here and there, Beaverton

19
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:08,439
seems like a wonderful place. I mean, it was originally

20
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,680
named after all the beaver dams they had. What's cuter

21
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:18,680
than that? Once a relatively small community, Beaverton has maintained

22
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,800
its reputation as a safe place for both residents and

23
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,000
business owners. It's also quite beautiful, naturally, a lot of

24
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,719
the West Coast is except for the people.

25
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: Of course, citizens value safety hugely here, but our department shines.

26
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,120
It keeps us safe and it's highly valued. And that's

27
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:41,400
absolutely another key reason to why businesses locate here in

28
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,919
value being here in Beaverton.

29
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Aside from becoming home to corporate giants such as Nike

30
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:52,560
and Tektronics, the city's public transit is another unique contributor

31
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:53,840
to its booming economy.

32
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,879
Speaker 5: Beaverton is on the easterly edge of Washington County, and

33
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,400
it is really the hub for transport to choices. We've

34
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,560
got great transit options here. We have the Max Train,

35
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,000
the West Train. We also have a tremendous bus network.

36
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: Despite its growth, Beaverton's wooded trails, quiet streams, and parks

37
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,879
are what make the city unique. It's got the best

38
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,919
of both worlds. But like anywhere, there are aspects of

39
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Beaverton that aren't exactly advertised on postcards or in travel brochures.

40
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800
It's not an escape for everyone. For many the forests

41
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,199
of the Pacific Northwest are less a refuge and more

42
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,639
of a last resort, a place where the ever growing

43
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,879
homeless population struggles to survive when there's nowhere else to go.

44
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,680
Sixteen year old Daniel Ryan Gore was one of the

45
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,919
city's underbelly residents. But he wasn't living in the woods

46
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,639
out of necessity. He was there by choice. In his eyes,

47
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,319
anything was better than living at home with his parents.

48
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,080
He was born in Oklahoma, and his family moved to

49
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Beaverton when he was only eleven years old. A short

50
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,800
time later, they relocated again, this time to the more

51
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,719
affordable town of Salem.

52
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 6: What thought you guys? Oh okay, I think it was

53
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,279
one of my parents' jobs. And then you got too.

54
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,439
Was it the Beaberton area initially into the New New

55
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,680
York And so mom and dad are down there. Do

56
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,360
you have any family up in this area?

57
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 7: We are.

58
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: Allegedly, his parents did what they could to provide him

59
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,399
with better opportunities. I have my doubts, but Daniel wasn't

60
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,920
like most kids. He started feeling more like an outsider

61
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:51,160
with each passing year. Constantly moving around and being placed

62
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920
in new school districts made it hard for Daniel to

63
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:58,680
make friends. He struggled academically and spent most afternoons at

64
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,160
the lunch table alone. He was often seen wearing headphones

65
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,959
blaring heavy metal and rap music to block out the

66
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,399
world around him. Eventually, Daniel did break out of his shell,

67
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,040
but not in a good way. By the time he

68
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,079
entered high school, Daniel had established a reputation as a

69
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,560
class clown, and instead of being the popular funny guy,

70
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:25,959
he was more known as the weird goth kid who

71
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,240
would randomly scream and class for laughs that were rarely received.

72
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,040
As he strayed further from his peers, he leaned more

73
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:40,720
into music, connecting with underground artists more than any of

74
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:46,519
his classmates. That's when Daniel discovered Seven, a progressive metal

75
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,920
rapper out of Atlanta, Georgia.

76
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 7: He was pretty obsessed with this artist, like loved everything

77
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,720
he did, every song he came out with, every post

78
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,759
he made. He would re post like Instagram videos or

79
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,199
tiktoks about people. Other people obsessing over this artist.

80
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: On the rare occasion when Daniel did converse with other students,

81
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,040
Seven and his latest song became the only thing he

82
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,439
cared to talk about. He was fixated. Unfortunately, the other

83
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,319
kids weren't that interested. It wasn't long after that Daniel

84
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,199
convinced himself he just didn't belong, not just in school,

85
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,079
but in society. Right around that time, he dropped out

86
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,199
and had plans to run away from home. Shortly after

87
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560
his sixteenth birthday, he packed an oversized duffel bag and

88
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,720
bought a bus ticket to Portland. Without any savings or

89
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:49,120
a place to go, he ended up living on the

90
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,680
streets of Oregon's busiest city. I'm sure you've seen the

91
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,720
homeless encampments out there and all the rioting and drug use.

92
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:02,720
Daniel found himself in parks or underneath the overhang of

93
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,399
the First Interstate Bank. After a few months, he eventually

94
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:09,639
got sick of being woken up by cops or having

95
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,959
business owners kick him off their property. That's when he

96
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,879
decided he needed to move somewhere more remote, somewhere quiet

97
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,680
and safe from all the tweakers roaming around downtown Portland

98
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,639
like zombies. Nothing says compassion like continuing to let that happen. Anyway,

99
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,240
While he certainly could have gone back home to his

100
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,720
parents in Salem, that thought never crossed his mind. After

101
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,759
hopping on one of the computers inside the city library,

102
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,360
and a few Google searches later, it was settled. Sixteen

103
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:45,600
year old Daniel was headed back to Beaverton.

104
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 6: Okay, So you.

105
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 8: Take a bus from stay Along to Wilsonville and then

106
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:53,600
you get on the map shrink in Wilsonville and there okay,

107
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,639
And it's three bucks for that long to that.

108
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:57,079
Speaker 6: Shot a bo Okay.

109
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: By now, he was well versed in public transportation, so

110
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:04,480
hopping on a bus at Union Station was nothing new.

111
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,720
After panhandling long enough to afford a one way ticket,

112
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,040
Daniel was on the next bus out of town. When

113
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,839
he arrived, Daniel spent the little cash he had left

114
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:19,959
on supplies with plans to set up camp in the woods.

115
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,759
After walking for miles, he eventually came across the Progress

116
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,879
Ridge shopping center in Beaverton's south end. At an ace

117
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,440
hardware store inside the plaza, he purchased a camping tent

118
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,879
and blue blanket before walking through the parking lot towards

119
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,000
the tree line. As he finished setting up camp, Daniel

120
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480
felt a sense of calm wash over him. His new

121
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:49,960
home was quiet, serene. Besides the faint noise of cars

122
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
and the shopping mall roughly two football fields away. Daniel

123
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,799
had the woods all to himself. If he needed something

124
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,840
to eat, he'd walk the short distance to the shopping

125
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,840
stone center to dig through the dumpsters for food that

126
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,559
had been recently tossed away. When that didn't work, he'd

127
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:10,759
hit New Season's Market, an overpriced grocery store located in

128
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:15,440
the plaza where the rich folk of Beaverton shopped. Luckily,

129
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:21,000
for Daniel, money was no object, literally he had none.

130
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Right before the last register was about to close, Daniel

131
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,440
would stroll the aisles, pretending to shop, before secretly stuffing

132
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,039
a package of hot dogs or a can of chili

133
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,960
in his coat pocket. After that, he walked across the

134
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,440
parking lot into the woods, where he'd start a campfire

135
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,600
and cook himself a meal. A stolen one doesn't sound

136
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,480
that bad, to.

137
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,879
Speaker 6: Be honest, how long have you been stand.

138
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:54,799
Speaker 1: In the texts, Daniel had been living outside for a

139
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,840
couple of months up to this point. As much as

140
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,559
he enjoyed the privacy, he was I was a sixteen

141
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:06,200
year old boy, and eventually Daniel got bored. That's when

142
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,879
he started frequenting the shopping mall more often, not to

143
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:14,240
steal hot dogs, but to socialize. The AMC movie theater

144
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,879
at the Plaza was one of the main places Daniel

145
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:21,879
started hanging out. Eventually he met some kids his age who,

146
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:25,120
like him, had nothing else to do on a Friday

147
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,440
night but catch the late night showing of Avatar two.

148
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,399
Didn't see it, but I heard that was shit. Finally

149
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,919
Daniel had a solid group of friends. For the first

150
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:42,639
time ever, he felt accepted. Imagine that the local teens

151
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,960
who attended high school in Beaverton, a few miles down

152
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240
the road, knew he was homeless, but never judged him.

153
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,879
If anything, they were concerned for his well being, especially

154
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:56,720
when the colder months rolled around. One day in January

155
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,600
twenty twenty two, Daniel arrived at the AMC Theater to

156
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:04,399
meet up with his new friends, but they noticed his

157
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,840
clothes were soaking wet. It was clear he'd been struggling

158
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:12,360
to survive in this tent just a couple hundred yards away.

159
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:16,279
Daniel told his friends he was fine, but after visiting

160
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,639
the camp, they knew from the damaged tarps ready to

161
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,559
cave in from the fresh snowfall that they really needed

162
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,919
to get Daniel out of the woods. I wonder what

163
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:27,919
his parents were doing.

164
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 9: Around this time, I was having friends over. I had

165
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:34,799
recently met a new group and they asked me to

166
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,720
invite one of their friends over, and I said yes.

167
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:42,919
Speaker 1: During one particular visit to a friend's home, Daniel and

168
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,600
a group of others were hanging out watching TV. At

169
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,840
one point, while the group was eating a meal the

170
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:53,080
mother prepared, Daniel's friend mentioned that he was homeless.

171
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 9: I was made aware that he didn't have a house,

172
00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:00,480
and I told my mother that, and she started crying

173
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,879
and told me he could do his laundry whenever he wanted.

174
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: The girl's mother instantly broke into tears and insisted he

175
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,440
stay with them that night. Well, he wasn't used to

176
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,519
accepting a helping hand. This time he did and was

177
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,759
genuinely thankful. From that point forward, anytime the weather was harsh,

178
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:24,759
the mother of Daniel's friend insisted he stay with them.

179
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,639
Speaker 9: Eventually it started snowing, and my mom was even more

180
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,919
sad and wanted him to be safe and let him

181
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,720
stay the night every once in a while when it

182
00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:37,120
was really cold. At different times when he was hungry,

183
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,840
she would of course let him eat our food, and

184
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:43,360
sometimes I'm pretty sure got him canned food from either

185
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,639
pantries or our pantry.

186
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: One night, when Daniel showed up at the door, the

187
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,519
mom surprised him with a gift. It was a brand

188
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,600
new orange puffer coat. Daniel couldn't have been more grateful,

189
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,600
as the weather was only getting worse. Turn the favor,

190
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,159
Daniel would offer to help around the house during his

191
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080
overnight stays. He was polite and came across as a

192
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,279
genuine teenager who just needed some help. Accepting it, though,

193
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:15,440
was something Daniel struggled with. After retreating back to his

194
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,600
campsite and vanishing behind the trees, Daniel started to isolate

195
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,600
himself again, left with nothing but his thoughts and dark

196
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,399
lyrics from heavy metal music crackling through his cheap headphones.

197
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,480
As the snow continued to fall, his friends and their

198
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,440
families feared that Daniel might not make it through the night.

199
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:40,200
But it wasn't just the harsh elements that they had

200
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,720
to be concerned with, as there was no way of

201
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:47,480
knowing the sheer violence that was about to unfold in

202
00:13:47,519 --> 00:14:22,559
those very same Oregon woods. For Daniel Gore, life wasn't easy.

203
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,399
At just sixteen years old, he left home with no

204
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:28,320
plan and barely enough cash to purchase a bus ticket

205
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,759
to Portland, Oregon. When life on the streets became too harsh,

206
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,360
he sought refuge in the nearby woods of Beaverton and

207
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,120
set up camp behind the Progress Ridge Shopping Center. Unfortunately,

208
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,960
with homelessness often comes danger and sometimes the threat of

209
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,840
extreme violence. While he struggled to find his way in

210
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:52,440
the world, any chance of starting over for Daniel was

211
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:57,240
inevitably destroyed when a harrowing discovery was made on May tenth,

212
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,960
twenty twenty two, past three pm, a group of local

213
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,159
residents was walking along Barrows Road before veering onto the

214
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,039
west Side Regional Trailhead, directly located behind the Progress Ridge

215
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:13,360
Shopping Center in Beaverton.

216
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,759
Speaker 3: We walked through into the forest wooded area and walked

217
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,399
around for a while. We didn't see much.

218
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: After a short trek, they came across a pair of

219
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,279
ripped sweatpants hanging from a branch, as well as a

220
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,120
pair of high top converse sneakers that were stuck in

221
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:36,480
the mud. The group became worried almost immediately after walking

222
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:40,639
towards the items, they noticed something else.

223
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,759
Speaker 3: And then I noticed some red in the water and

224
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,320
a blanket A blue blanket with hair underneath, which I

225
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,960
had convinced myself with moss.

226
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: The blanket was draped over a shallow creek that ran

227
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:59,279
through the woods. As they neared closer, they noticed the

228
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,320
raised and pression of something underneath. What was even more

229
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,279
suspicious was that the blanket had been weighed down by

230
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,320
several logs and rocks. It was at this point that

231
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:14,000
the group stepped back and shocked, before running out of

232
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,799
the woods and notifying police.

233
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:23,759
Speaker 6: Are you talking about this little spot way down the years? Okay?

234
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,679
Do you guys want to wait way up here for me?

235
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,200
And then we'll come back up.

236
00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:28,159
Speaker 7: And in a few minutes.

237
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: When authorities arrived, the scene was immediately secured as people

238
00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:45,039
started to swarm around the caution tape perimeter.

239
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 10: I saw like a bevy of cops in like a circle.

240
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,120
Seems like they were doing a search. I was very

241
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:53,159
surprised to all the police here. I mean, I had

242
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,159
to connect the dots. They're they're being very you know,

243
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,159
quiet about it.

244
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: All that well, the vast presence of s UV's and

245
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,320
police users lined the streets just behind them and down

246
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,920
the small ravine. Crime scene texts started carefully gathering evidence

247
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,799
in the woods.

248
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,839
Speaker 11: Well, I could tell about the blanket that it appeared

249
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,599
it was weighted down and there was definitely something under it.

250
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,519
It looked like I had noticed human hair in the water,

251
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,559
and at some point I think I pointed that out.

252
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,599
Speaker 1: Upon examining the blanket waiting in the water, forensics started

253
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,440
lifting the stones and debris.

254
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:30,039
Speaker 12: We removed the blanket and it was photographed in place.

255
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,799
There were multiple branches and large rocks that had been

256
00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:37,400
placed on the body to hold it down and in

257
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,599
place in the water.

258
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:42,799
Speaker 1: The body of a deceased teenage victim was found. The

259
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:47,160
individual was completely nude except for their socks. Ligature marks

260
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,319
were visible on their neck. The face was swollen and bruised.

261
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,359
Investigators then took notice of one of the victim's fingernails.

262
00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,599
Speaker 12: It actually had been snapped back at the nail bed

263
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,799
and it was just kind of hanging.

264
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: The victim's family was notified immediately. That same evening. The

265
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,799
city of Beaverton, Oregon, fell into a collective state of

266
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,079
shock when authorities released the name of the teen found

267
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,119
dead in the woods.

268
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 13: We want to get straight to some breaking news out

269
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,960
of Beaverton tonight. Police say they've found the body of

270
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,759
a missing.

271
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:26,279
Speaker 14: Student tonight, we know the circumstances surrounding the girl's death

272
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:27,559
are suspicious.

273
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: At around seven am on Monday, May ninth, a Cell

274
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:35,119
Lee arrives home from her overnight shift at the Nike

275
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:39,519
store in Beaverton. She hasn't seen her daughter, Milana since

276
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:42,960
the evening before when she left for work. She calls

277
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,079
out for her, but there's no answer. Thinking Milana must

278
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,200
have simply left early for school, she decides to check

279
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,599
her daughter's bedroom just to be sure. When a Cell

280
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,519
cracks open the door, Uneasiness sets in when she notices

281
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,599
milan This book bag is still in the corner of

282
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,519
the room. A Cell starts making phone calls and reaches

283
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,839
out to Milana's friends, but no one is seen or

284
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,079
heard from her or worry deepens. She calls the school,

285
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,240
hoping for reassurance, only to learn that Milana never showed

286
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:23,400
up that day. This is when panic starts to set in.

287
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,160
After nearly twenty four hours and still no sign of her,

288
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240
a Cell and a group of Milana's friends take to

289
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:35,400
the streets and nearby woods, retracing her usual route, but

290
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:41,359
then they find something off the wooded trails of Barrows Road.

291
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,599
Scattered along the damp forest floor are Milana's shoes and

292
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,200
torn pajama pants, the same items she was last seen wearing.

293
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,599
Moments later, they spot a blue blanket lying flat over

294
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,839
a slow running creek. Unaware at that moment that beneath

295
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,759
that pile of debris is Milana's savagely beaten body.

296
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:08,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just horribly sad.

297
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 4: Officers say that that young lady was Milana Lee.

298
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 9: And we're just finding out about this in the past

299
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:15,400
hour or.

300
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 4: So, and already some community members have put.

301
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 9: Flowers here near where her body was found.

302
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 6: They found her body in a small stream over here.

303
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: This is the west Side Linear Park near the West

304
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,319
Side Trail.

305
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,519
Speaker 6: Police just left this scene.

306
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: They had this all blocked off near Barrows Road for

307
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,400
this investigation.

308
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:38,319
Speaker 1: Once the body was removed from the water and transported

309
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,680
by the corner in preparation for an autopsy, a group

310
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,519
of investigators expanded their search and proceeded further into the woods.

311
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,960
It wasn't long before they came across a homeless encampment

312
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,599
roughly two hundred yards from Progress Ridge Shopping Center. The

313
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,279
site appeared to have been someone's long term dwelling as

314
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,960
indicated by a series of tarps meticulously tied from various

315
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:09,720
trees covering the small camping tent. Fresh food wrappers and

316
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:13,920
recently burnt embers inside a small fire pit suggested that

317
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,839
whoever was staying there hadn't left long before police arrived.

318
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:23,039
Directly adjacent to the camping tent was the discarded packaging

319
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,720
of a blanket consistent with the same blanket used to

320
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:33,359
conceal Milana's body. The authorities searched inside the tent, they

321
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,440
found a diary. Upon reading it, they immediately took notice

322
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:44,200
of the phrase I feel like dexter ominously written inside

323
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,200
the journal. Something else that struck the deputy's azad was

324
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,000
a collage of artwork found etched into a nearby tree.

325
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,799
Chiseled into the bark were several skulls with joker type smiles,

326
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,240
adorned with a unique set of devil horns each of

327
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:06,240
the cartoons heads. It was unclear what the images were,

328
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,920
but all the pocket knife carvings depicted a rendition of

329
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,759
the same character. Back at the primary crime scene, additional

330
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:19,079
items of evidentiary value were being collected In addition to

331
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,359
the clothing and broken fingernail. The victim's purse was found

332
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,960
a few meters north waiting in the creek. The bag

333
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:30,440
was partially filled with water and missing one of its

334
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:35,480
leather straps. Investigators eventually recovered the missing strap in a

335
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:40,599
nearby bush. Inside the purse was Milana's phone case, but

336
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,680
her device was missing.

337
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,079
Speaker 12: We did an emergency connection with her phone through T

338
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,000
Mobile to try to get her Latin longitude, but where

339
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,119
her cell phone was last seen so we would have

340
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,279
an idea of where to start looking.

341
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,079
Speaker 1: Once a subpoena was successfully filed through Milana's phone carrier,

342
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:03,599
authorities learned that her device showed activity throughout Beaverton several

343
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:08,039
hours after the murder and had just recently been powered off.

344
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,559
Upon accessing the victim's final texts and online messages, they

345
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:17,960
found a Facebook correspondence that started the afternoon she disappeared.

346
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,480
This conversation was between Milana and a sixteen year old

347
00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:32,839
named Daniel Gore surprised, huh, come on, this is sortan scale.

348
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,799
On May eighth, twenty twenty two, Milana contacted Daniel at

349
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,920
around two thirty pm. She asked him what his plans

350
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,359
were that afternoon. Daniel responded to the message stating he

351
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,480
was at the local library so that he could use

352
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,440
the Internet. The fuck is the purpose of libraries in

353
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:57,000
twenty twenty five now that we have the Internet? Oh right,

354
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:02,160
masturbatoriums for homeless people and a huge waste of taxpayer money.

355
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,240
If you asked me, leave your outrage in the comments, Karen. Anyway,

356
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,759
Eventually the two arranged to meet up Daniel and Milana

357
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,079
with the intention of getting drunk with some mutual friends.

358
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:18,720
Over the course of several hours, Milana and Daniel continued

359
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:23,240
to communicate on Facebook. Milana sent several more messages asking

360
00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:27,359
Daniel who would be joining them that evening. Daniel responded

361
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,039
by providing the names of one male and at least

362
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:33,000
two other girls, but said he wasn't sure if they

363
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,319
were going to make it. At around six pm, location

364
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:41,000
data placed Milana at her residence before traveling towards the

365
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,319
shopping plaza less than half a mile away. At six

366
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,240
thirty pm, Milana's cell phone pinged at Menshi's Frozen Yogurt

367
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,119
at the Progress Ridge Shopping Center. Surveillance footage from inside

368
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,359
the business corroborated Milana's location when she was seen entering

369
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,559
Menshe's accompanied by a male teenager.

370
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 15: It depicts May eighth, twenty twenty two. It will show

371
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,319
Daniel Gore and Malana Lee together around six forty pm,

372
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:17,240
enter the location and a leave three minutes later.

373
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,519
Speaker 1: Milana is seen in the footage wearing pajama pants and

374
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,359
high top converse sneakers as she orders a cup of

375
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,480
frozen yogurt, while the male suspect is captured on camera

376
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:34,759
wearing a bright orange puffer jacket. Minutes later, surveillance captures

377
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:38,359
Milana and the suspect walking through the parking lot to

378
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,960
a bus stop. The two are seen boarding a bus

379
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,559
before its doors close and they start traveling eastbound. Minutes later,

380
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:50,400
they're captured on surveillance a few blocks away, exiting the

381
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,119
bus at a nearby intersection before boarding another one. The

382
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,359
evidence indicated that the pair rode a series of buses

383
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,920
for a total of twenty five minutes before finally getting

384
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200
off at a walgreen It's less than a mile north

385
00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:08,759
of where the trip started. Imagine riding public buses for fun.

386
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,599
What it is to be young and stupid. The next

387
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:17,359
time the pair was spotted was at seven forty five pm,

388
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:20,799
walking south in the vicinity of the shopping Plaza and

389
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,839
approaching the West Side Regional Trail.

390
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 16: This is the very last time Malala ley is caught

391
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:29,480
on him and was haunting about this energy.

392
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: She has no idea did in just over an hour

393
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,200
her life.

394
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:35,599
Speaker 10: Would be ticket.

395
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:40,839
Speaker 1: After identifying the individual who was believed to be Daniel Gore,

396
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:46,640
of course, investigators started looking into his online activity. Through

397
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,759
both his Facebook and Instagram messages, authorities were able to

398
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:54,079
track down friends of the suspect who he'd been communicating

399
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,160
with before and after the murder. Hours after Milana's body

400
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:03,640
was found, detectives arrived at an apartment complex in Beaverton,

401
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,680
where a female friend of Daniel's met them in the

402
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,440
doorway and welcomed them inside. As they entered the home,

403
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,319
one of the officers immediately noticed what was hanging on

404
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,559
a nearby coat rack.

405
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 15: There was an orange goose down puffy coat hanging at

406
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,319
the entrance. The coat had a noticeable amount of mud

407
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:31,759
on the hood, and there was also a bag of

408
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,240
laundry in the living room that I later learned was

409
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:37,920
potentially relevant.

410
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,599
Speaker 1: When authorities asked the girl who the jacket belonged to,

411
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:46,240
she said Daniel. She went on to say that he

412
00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:49,599
regularly stayed over on cold nights due to the fact

413
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,720
he was homeless. When asked when she saw him last,

414
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,839
the suspect's friend told police on May eighth, at around

415
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:03,440
eight forty five pm, wearing the orange jacket, I.

416
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 9: Noticed scratches on his face and I asked him how

417
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,079
he got those, along with how he had met on

418
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,599
his pants, and he said he fell.

419
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: According to her statements to police, he was acting a

420
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,559
bit strange at the time.

421
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:18,759
Speaker 9: He was more standoffish, which was another observation my mom

422
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,319
and I talked about. But I was definitely disappointed because

423
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,039
he's usually really respectful to my mom.

424
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: He was abnormally quiet and at one point retreated to

425
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,799
the bathroom.

426
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,319
Speaker 9: He went to the restroom to make a private call,

427
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,359
which wasn't normal for him, and so it was kind

428
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,640
of secretive.

429
00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:39,039
Speaker 1: According to the witness, Daniel changed his clothes a short

430
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:43,000
time later before leaving the residents. After gaining permission to

431
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:47,680
search the property, investigators made their way to the garage.

432
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:50,079
Inside one of the trash cans was a pair of

433
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:56,480
men's jeans soaked in water and covered in dirt. After

434
00:28:56,519 --> 00:29:01,359
tracing Daniel's call made from his friend's bathroom, investigators were

435
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,039
led to a young woman named Eva, Daniel's ex girlfriend

436
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,200
who had known him since the third grade.

437
00:29:09,839 --> 00:29:14,559
Speaker 7: It was a really, really unhealthy relationship. There was a

438
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:20,000
lot of codependency from both sides in my relationship with him.

439
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,319
I was very isolated from the people in my life,

440
00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:29,440
including my parents and friends, and really he was the

441
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:32,279
main support that I felt I had.

442
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: Long before Daniel was homeless and wanted for suspicion of murder,

443
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,079
Eva was one of the few friends he had. She

444
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,920
herself was a loner, which led the two of them

445
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:49,799
to form a deeply codependent and emotionally unstable relationship. When

446
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:54,240
they first started dating years before, Eva became increasingly defiant

447
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:59,319
towards authority figures, a character trait surely mimicked and learned

448
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,119
by her boy friend Daniel. Over the years, they fed

449
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:09,559
off each other's chaos, cycling between intense closeness and explosive arguments.

450
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,599
Speaker 7: We were both very extremely reliant on each other emotionally.

451
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,119
We needed to be in contact almost constantly. There were

452
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,160
times where if I wouldn't answer him, he would find.

453
00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:26,359
He would always find a way. If it wasn't text,

454
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,400
he would find. Ever since we'd started dating in eighth grade,

455
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,359
he would find a way to email me or even

456
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,799
text me from an xbox.

457
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: Like most toxic relationships, Eva and Daniel brought out the

458
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:42,079
worst in each other, and when she inevitably started to

459
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:46,240
pull away, Daniel became increasingly erratic and controlling.

460
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 7: He was an extremely jealous person. He didn't want me

461
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:56,119
having guy friends or really contact with any guys. Anytime

462
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,359
I mentioned any guy saying anything like one just called

463
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,119
me a nickname, he would threaten them and literally say like, oh,

464
00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:04,079
I want to kill them.

465
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: These behaviors didn't go unnoticed by Eva's friends, but more

466
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,680
notably her parents. You see, they were actually paying attention.

467
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,839
Speaker 7: He would make me feel like he was the only

468
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,079
person that could make me feel loved or happy, and

469
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,000
would encourage me to do things to go against my

470
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:29,319
father or my parents in general, which really created a

471
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:31,279
big divide between me and my family.

472
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,559
Speaker 1: Eva's parents were so worried about her safety that they

473
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,559
eventually put the relationship to an end for her. Sometimes

474
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:42,119
you gotta just do what you gotta do, even if

475
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,599
your kids hate you for it. As long as she

476
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,480
was living under their roof, Eva was no longer allowed

477
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,039
to see Daniel. From that point on. Well, she may

478
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:55,039
not have seen it at the time. Being exiled from

479
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:58,799
Daniel very well may have saved her life. But it

480
00:31:58,839 --> 00:32:02,599
wasn't just women and Daniel had a problem with. It

481
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:07,319
was the law as well. Roughly three months before Milana

482
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,559
was found dead, faced down in a creek, Daniel was

483
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:15,319
placed on probation in February twenty twenty two. At the time,

484
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,920
the juvenile courts of Salem, Oregon, found him guilty of

485
00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:25,200
multiple offenses, including second degree theft, criminal mischief, and arson.

486
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,200
According to court records, Daniel was arrested after attempting to

487
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,160
burn down a movie theater in the Portland area. As

488
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,480
a result, the Washington County DA recommended that he beheld

489
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:43,480
in juvenile detention, but despite the DA's concerns for public safety,

490
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:48,200
the Washington County Juvenile Department released him back to his

491
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,599
family in Salem. I mean, they'd done such a great

492
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,200
job up until this point. Weeks later, Daniel ran away

493
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,039
from his home to start a new life as a

494
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:02,119
homeless person living in the woods of Beaverton. What a life.

495
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,279
In April of that year, Daniel's father emailed Salem's Juvenile

496
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:09,799
department to inform them that his son might be somewhere

497
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:13,960
in the Beaverton area, but for whatever reason, Daniel's father

498
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:18,200
was ignored and the Juvenile Department failed to notify the

499
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:23,200
DA or the local police. Despite their breakup, Eva and

500
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:28,079
Daniel continued to communicate regularly, and while there was physical

501
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:31,519
distance between the two, he managed to keep an emotional

502
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:35,400
hold on her, But as time passed, she was able

503
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,000
to see the situation for what it actually was.

504
00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:44,599
Speaker 7: Over time, I had separation from Daniel, and so there

505
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,640
was a lot less of that fear in that. Also,

506
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:53,200
like I loved him and I wanted to be able

507
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,839
to have him in my life, and so as there

508
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,720
was time in my life where he wasn't a part

509
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,960
of it, it became a lot easier to see the

510
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,640
situation without the emotional lens.

511
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: When Eva was ultimately questioned by police after a body

512
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:12,199
was found in the woods, she admitted that Daniel called

513
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,239
her from his friend's house not long after Milana was

514
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,559
last seen alive.

515
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 7: He's calling me, and he sounded stressed or upset in

516
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,280
some way, and he started telling me that like he

517
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,920
had done something and he couldn't tell me what it was,

518
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,119
and so I kept like pressing and pushing, being like

519
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,000
what did you do? Where were you? Because at this point,

520
00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:38,159
like I have no idea what's going on, and he's

521
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,639
just telling me like I did something bad, Like I

522
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:43,440
can't tell you what it is. I was just telling

523
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,320
me that he had gone to hang out with Milana

524
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:49,599
and was just telling me that he did something. He

525
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,239
took care of it, he handled it, and was implying

526
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,079
that he had done something bad to her.

527
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: After speaking with the suspects ex girlfriend, locating him became

528
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:02,960
that much more dire as he was still out there

529
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:05,320
walking amongst the public.

530
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 11: We were following up on every lead. I would encourage people,

531
00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:10,840
no matter how small they think, that their tip is

532
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,079
to call us in because it could be that thing

533
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:15,159
that leads us to the portion of the case that

534
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:15,920
we need to solve.

535
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: It became clear from the very start that Daniel Gore

536
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,440
was much more dangerous than the innocent drifter he portrayed

537
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:27,639
himself as to his friends around Beaverton. His exact connection

538
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,079
to the victim was still unknown, but as someone who

539
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:35,000
knows the woods of Beaverton better than anyone else, there

540
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,480
was no telling where he was given the state in

541
00:35:38,519 --> 00:35:42,159
which he left Milana's body not far from his campsite.

542
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:46,199
Authorities weren't blind to the fact that provided the opportunity,

543
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:52,400
there wasn't much stopping Daniel from committing further acts of violence. Then,

544
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,280
on the evening of May tenth, authorities received a call

545
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,679
from a state member of the Murray School's Branch library

546
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,719
and Masturbatorium in Beaverton. The caller told dispatch that he

547
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,320
believed a man matching Daniel's description was using the Internet

548
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,159
and sitting at one of the computer kiosks. When officers

549
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:18,880
were dispatched, Daniel spotted police with their guns drawn as

550
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,679
they made their way through the front door.

551
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: As I approached kind of more of the backside of

552
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,400
the library, I saw a gentlemen that kind of matched

553
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,079
his description get up and run out the back door.

554
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:33,119
Speaker 1: As he fled through an emergency exit, Deputies chased after him,

555
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:38,000
but somehow Daniel managed to escape. That little fucker was

556
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:42,039
fast back inside the library. One of the staff members

557
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:45,599
stood guard at the computer the suspect was using, only

558
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:49,440
to notice a Facebook Messenger tab still active on the screen.

559
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:53,320
While he glanced at the conversation between the suspect and

560
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,880
one of his friends. The library employee retrieved a roll

561
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,679
of Scotch tape and a piece of computer paper to

562
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:02,599
cover the screen until police could take a closer look.

563
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 10: I saw two lines of print. They said, comps are here.

564
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 16: I think they're looking for Milana.

565
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: Immediately following his escape, all units were dispatched to the

566
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,119
surrounding areas. Within the hour, police retrieved a tip that

567
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,719
the suspect had been spotted entering a nearby apartment unit

568
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,480
located a few blocks away. As officers surrounded the complex,

569
00:37:28,519 --> 00:37:34,480
they eventually noticed movement upon a second story balcony. The

570
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,159
individual pressed against the wall, attempting to hide, and was

571
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:44,559
quickly identified as their suspect. Daniel was surrounded, and, after

572
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:48,000
realizing there was nowhere to run, he walked out of

573
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,800
the building's main entrance with his hands in the air.

574
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,760
As he made his way towards the officers, they could

575
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,440
see he was holding something while being placed in cuffs.

576
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,679
One of the deputies ripped the object away from him,

577
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,239
only to find what appeared to be a white Halloween

578
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,320
mask that was an exact replica of the skull drawings

579
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:37,880
etched into a tree at Daniel's campsite in early May

580
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,000
of twenty twenty two, Acel Lee returned home from an

581
00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:45,480
overnight shift to find that her daughter, Milana, was missing.

582
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,239
At first, she assumed she may have left early that

583
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,360
morning for school, but as the hours passed and Milana

584
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:59,239
failed to answer her phone, concern turned into panic Assel

585
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,840
and a group of Milana's friends started searching the neighborhood,

586
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:06,360
calling out for her. Their efforts led them to a

587
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,320
trailhead off of Barrows Road, where they found her shoes

588
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,800
and torn pajama pants scattered near a wooded area. The

589
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,320
search came to a tragic end on May tenth, when

590
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,199
Milana's loved ones stumbled upon a blue blanket in a

591
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,360
shallow creek just off the West Side Regional Trail. Underneath it,

592
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,880
weighed down by rocks and logs, was Milana's lifeless body.

593
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:38,119
She had been beaten, strangled, and left for dead. The

594
00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:42,280
discovery triggered a full scale homicide investigation, prompting authorities to

595
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:47,320
piece together her last known movements. Data pulled from Milana's

596
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,760
device showed that she'd been active on Facebook the afternoon

597
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:55,440
she disappeared, chatting with a sixteen year old named Daniel Gore.

598
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Their conversation revealed plans to meet up that evening in

599
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:04,239
surveill footage later confirmed they'd spent the night wandering through Beaverton,

600
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,599
boarding buses and eventually making their way into the woods.

601
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:13,880
Authorities ultimately tracked their suspect to a public library. When

602
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,519
police arrived, Daniel fled, only to be arrested a short

603
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:20,719
time later when he was found hiding at a friend's apartment.

604
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,639
With their suspect now in custody. Detectives finally had the

605
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,960
opportunity to speak with Daniel when he was brought in

606
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:33,840
for questioning and try to piece together why you have

607
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,360
the right.

608
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,159
Speaker 6: To remain silent. They can understand what that means. Okay,

609
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:39,079
tell me what that means?

610
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:44,679
Speaker 8: Right? So when when did you argue?

611
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,639
Speaker 6: Very want to talk to me about what you've and

612
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,599
staying stuff. It was a states An area.

613
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:56,679
Speaker 1: The conversation started off casually, with detectives asking Daniel about

614
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,760
his day to day life. He seemed excited when the

615
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,559
topic of the library came up. I wonder why he

616
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:05,519
was eager to tell detectives how he spent a lot

617
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:09,079
of his time watching police body camp footage and true

618
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:11,400
crime videos on YouTube of all things.

619
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 6: All right, yeah, we don't we don't like that or

620
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,639
anything like that or nothing like that. Body camp done?

621
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,280
Is it really that interesting? Usually that's the most fascinating

622
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:39,039
thing you've seen. I've seen so many comes to top. Also,

623
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,519
I don't remember how I watching. I don't remember. Can

624
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,400
I haven't mind saying about it? Oh, actually no, I

625
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,519
don't want any of lot I watched. It's called Code

626
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:50,079
Blue game.

627
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 8: I don't know.

628
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,599
Speaker 1: Eventually, the conversation shifted to the night of May eighth,

629
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,480
twenty twenty two, the last night Milana Lee was seen alive.

630
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:04,519
Daniel admitted that he and Milana had been drinking alcohol

631
00:42:04,559 --> 00:42:08,079
together that evening, and that he was drunk before the

632
00:42:08,199 --> 00:42:11,599
two boarded the first bus. Now here's an idea for

633
00:42:11,639 --> 00:42:15,719
a law that makes sense. I'm sure you legal experts

634
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,360
will tell me in the comments. Why is it legal

635
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,559
to sell alcohol or any other vices for that matter,

636
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:25,280
to the homeless? Can you give me a good reason

637
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,079
for that? Why don't we just make it illegal across

638
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:30,960
the board federally. That sure as hell would be a

639
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,039
deterrent to becoming homeless in the first place.

640
00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 6: And then you said you were drinking any monius was

641
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,320
like Nike started induction alcohol person, So how did you

642
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,639
get your hands on that.

643
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,119
Speaker 15: Good connections.

644
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: Daniel described how it was raining heavily that night, yet

645
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,480
struggled to recall any other key details. He insisted that

646
00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:03,159
he and Lana eventually parted ways and that when the

647
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,679
night was over, he simply went back to his tent alone.

648
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:10,760
That's when detectives decided to confront Daniel about the blatant

649
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:13,519
scratches covering his face and arms.

650
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 8: Help me understand how you got the scratches on the

651
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,039
outside of your right.

652
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 6: Hand walls like brick walls. Okay, when did you do

653
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,480
that to your uh?

654
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 10: There you go.

655
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: The authorities were certain Daniel was already well aware, detectives

656
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,880
chose to inform him that Milana had been found dead

657
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:44,320
in the woods just hours before.

658
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 6: So I have some news about Milana, okay, and I

659
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,239
want to share with you. She was found today. She

660
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,960
was diseased, Yes, female aware.

661
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 12: Well that's what yeah, you but you know, we're out

662
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:06,840
chatting with people to find out you know, it's.

663
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 6: Much information as that can She would sound kind of

664
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,039
the progress area. So I wanted to talk to you

665
00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:14,840
about what.

666
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 8: You may know that you give us, you know, points

667
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,559
in a direction of who we can talk to or.

668
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 6: Well, do you know anything about how she may have died?

669
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:29,760
Because I'll be honest with you too, because, like chat said,

670
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,639
I was doing this for quite a while. If you're pretty.

671
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,039
Speaker 8: I guess unemotional when we give you news that you

672
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:43,880
were the last person seen with someone who has now deceased.

673
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:49,119
Speaker 6: To me, there doesn't doesn't seem to be any worry

674
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,880
or it's just kind of this flag affect. I mean

675
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:55,960
sort of like it's just like I don't know how

676
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:56,400
to descarded.

677
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 16: It's just like because I didn't know that well, stuff

678
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,880
like that, stuff like involved stuff.

679
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,679
Speaker 6: I guess I'm just like I've seen.

680
00:45:04,519 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 16: I'm just like, yeah, stuff like that.

681
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 6: What kind of death is that you familiar?

682
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,079
Speaker 7: With?

683
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,599
Speaker 16: Some of my friends as into I'm sure you mail

684
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:19,159
like cour videos. They would watch that on or on

685
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,119
and was just I saw it on it was just

686
00:45:21,159 --> 00:45:22,760
like seeing it too much and it was.

687
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:28,679
Speaker 1: Like Daniel Gore is into Gore. Great, I'm gonna go

688
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:31,000
ahead and leave the dad jokes out of this one.

689
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,960
The story's pissing me off more than anything.

690
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 8: A lot of people that live in your position would

691
00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:41,000
at least be a little bit worried or concerned they're

692
00:45:41,079 --> 00:45:43,679
the last person to be seen with the dead girl.

693
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,639
Speaker 16: Just like I said, I've been very sensitized.

694
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 1: Daniel was then asked if authorities could expect to find

695
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,639
his DNA at the crime scene.

696
00:45:55,039 --> 00:46:05,559
Speaker 6: The one is her DNA found the affair. Else there's

697
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:09,719
either be any DNA inside her body or anywhere line

698
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:12,679
her body that would have otherwise he'd ever up with clothes.

699
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:18,119
Speaker 1: While he denied any involvement in the crime throughout his

700
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:24,079
police interview, the evidence doesn't lie, and the truth behind

701
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:27,840
what really happened to Milana that night in the woods

702
00:46:28,039 --> 00:46:33,119
is well, let's just put it this way. The following

703
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:36,480
description of events is speculative based on all the available

704
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,360
police reports and witness testimony and all the other information

705
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,119
we could find, but it captures a broad truth of

706
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:47,239
what happened that night.

707
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 2: Here we go.

708
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:54,079
Speaker 1: It was just before eight pm on May eighth. The

709
00:46:54,159 --> 00:46:58,760
rain is pouring down heavily in Beaverton, Oregon, and Milana

710
00:46:59,199 --> 00:47:02,199
and Daniel are approaching the woods behind the Progress Ridge

711
00:47:02,199 --> 00:47:05,280
Shopping Center. They'd spent the better part of the evening

712
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,280
riding city buses and sneaking SIPs of alcohol hidden inside

713
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,800
Daniel's backpack. The sixteen year old has downed more than

714
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:19,280
a few of his pre mixed margaritas, Milana's only had

715
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,280
a single corona. As the two make their way towards

716
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,719
the West Side Regional trailhead, they eventually exit the park's

717
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,079
surveillance camera's frame. The distant street lights beyond the trees

718
00:47:32,119 --> 00:47:35,840
slowly fade away with each step they take into the

719
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,960
woods as they trudge through the mud along the narrow path.

720
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,480
The alcohol in Daniel's belly keeps him warm. The two

721
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,960
laugh intermittently on their trek as the rain drops over

722
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:54,079
the thick canopy of leaves above. Somewhere along their route,

723
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:58,440
Milana's carefree demeanor shifts a bit. She looks around, only

724
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,239
to realize how included she is now alone in the

725
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,199
darkness with a boy she barely knows. The thrill of

726
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,559
underage drinking has worn off, and Milana tells Daniel she'd

727
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:14,800
better get back home. Daniel stops in his tracks and

728
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,880
turns to Milana, but says nothing. With a drunken grin.

729
00:48:19,039 --> 00:48:23,679
He steps towards Milana and presses his dirt covered palms

730
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:29,239
around her waist. She stiffens and both disgusted and surprised,

731
00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:34,519
but Daniel persists and leans in to kiss her. Immediately,

732
00:48:34,599 --> 00:48:38,320
she rejects his advances and shoves him. She turns to leave,

733
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,400
but Daniel reaches for her arm and pulls her body

734
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:47,519
into his. Milana swipes at his arm, and Daniel becomes enraged.

735
00:48:48,599 --> 00:48:52,320
As Milana turns to run, she's knocked to the ground

736
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,920
from a harsh shove to the back, setting her purse

737
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,639
flying through the air. She hits the dirt and screams

738
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:05,760
for help. Without a second to react, Daniel's fist lands

739
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,039
on the side of her cheek. Milana raises her hands

740
00:49:09,079 --> 00:49:12,760
in defence, but not quickly enough. As Daniel delivers a

741
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,039
series of blows.

742
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 17: She has a number of examples of blunt injury. In particular,

743
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,320
we can see some bruising on her left shoulder and

744
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:23,960
on the left side of her face.

745
00:49:24,679 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: As the rain water mixes with the blood now pouring

746
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,239
from Milana's nose, she manages to get to her feet,

747
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,320
but her shoes seep deep into the mud. With her

748
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,800
feet planted, unable to move, Milana claws and swings her

749
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,079
hands wildly, scratching Daniel's face and hands in the process.

750
00:49:45,199 --> 00:49:49,239
This only infuriates him more, and Daniel throws another right hook,

751
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,320
splitting Milana's lip as she falls to the ground again.

752
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,880
While laying on her back, Malana continues to rake her

753
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,119
nails across her attacker's face, being one of them off and.

754
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 17: Not only did it take the prosthetic nail, but it

755
00:50:05,559 --> 00:50:09,400
also took her native nail underneath and pulled it up.

756
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: She tries to crawl away, but Daniel flips her body

757
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,119
over and forces his way on top of her. With

758
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,599
his knees pressed into Milana's ribs, Daniel proceeds to choke her.

759
00:50:21,559 --> 00:50:26,039
He then reaches for her purse just inches away. One

760
00:50:26,039 --> 00:50:29,000
of the last things Milana sees is the strap of

761
00:50:29,079 --> 00:50:33,320
the purse raise over her head before feeling it wrapped

762
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,840
tightly around her neck. Daniel pulls back on the leather

763
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,039
strap as hard as he can, becoming aroused at the

764
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:47,719
sight of Milana's life leaving her body. Eventually, the purse

765
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,960
strap snaps and the woods becomes silent. Daniel stands over

766
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,920
Milana's corpse with the ligature dangling uselessly in his hand,

767
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:03,039
but he isn't finished and now plans to take what

768
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:06,559
he came for. Now that the victim is no longer

769
00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:12,079
a threat, Daniel removes Milana's mud covered converses before ripping

770
00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:16,639
off her pajama bottoms and top layers of clothing. He

771
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,360
undos his belt buckle before pulling down his jeans past

772
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,800
his waist. Daniel is a necrophiliac.

773
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,039
Speaker 17: The source of the blood in the vagina was this

774
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,719
laceration in the hymen.

775
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: Milana's autopsy confirmed she had been raped. The post mortem

776
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,760
examination showed visible signs of bruising and tearing to her

777
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,159
vaginal walls, along with the presence of male DNA located

778
00:51:47,199 --> 00:51:52,400
inside the victim's body. Once finished with his depraved act,

779
00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:56,119
Daniel moves methodically through the woods, the ones he knows

780
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,199
like the back of his hand. He arrives at his

781
00:51:59,199 --> 00:52:04,639
campsite moment slater, where he retrieves a blue blanket inside

782
00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:08,960
his tent. After retracing his steps through the dark and

783
00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:13,039
back to the crime scene, Daniel dragged Milana toward a

784
00:52:13,039 --> 00:52:16,559
shallow creek located just a few feet away. At the

785
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:20,800
water's edge, he rolls her over face down for draping

786
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,920
the blanket over her. He then rushes to gather several

787
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,320
rocks and logs and toss them on top of the

788
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,039
fabric to better conceal the body. Then he grabs Milana's

789
00:52:33,039 --> 00:52:36,679
cell phone from her purse before fleeing into the night,

790
00:52:37,639 --> 00:52:43,559
leaving the purse, clothing, ligature, and his DNA behind. The

791
00:52:43,599 --> 00:52:47,639
medical examiner's opinion was that the primary cause of death

792
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,719
came as a result of manual strangulation, but the water

793
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:57,280
found in Milana's lungs presented the possibility that she may

794
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,239
have still been alive at the time her body was

795
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,840
dumped in the creek the horror.

796
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 17: In this case, evidence that would indicate drowning include that

797
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,480
frothy liquid that was coming out of her nose that

798
00:53:14,599 --> 00:53:15,599
might be seen in a.

799
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:21,159
Speaker 1: Drowning, corroborated by cell phone data, surveillance and witness statements.

800
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,880
Daniel arrived at his friend's house across town a short

801
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,719
time later. After discarding his genes in the trash and

802
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,719
changing out of his clothes, he excused himself to the bathroom,

803
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,119
where he called his ex girlfriend Eva, only to be

804
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:37,960
arrested roughly two days later.

805
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 14: Tonight, we know the name of the juvenile charged with

806
00:53:41,519 --> 00:53:45,639
murdering Milana. Lead was found dead at a Beaverton park

807
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,119
last week. The Washington County Sheriff's Office in The DA's

808
00:53:49,159 --> 00:53:53,119
office says the alleged killer is sixteen year old Daniel Gore.

809
00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:57,320
They say Gore was on probation for nonviolent charges, including

810
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,920
theft and arson. Gore was charged with first degree murder

811
00:54:01,159 --> 00:54:02,840
in juvenile court yesterday.

812
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: Did that motherfucker just say that arson is a nonviolent crime?

813
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,719
What is it with the media these days? Mostly peaceful protests?

814
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,559
Get the fuck out of here. In addition to first

815
00:54:15,559 --> 00:54:18,920
degree murder, he was later charged with first degree rape.

816
00:54:19,679 --> 00:54:22,199
Given the fact that he was a juvenile, a key

817
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,320
legal battle inevitably emerged concerning whether Gore would be tried

818
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:33,199
as an adult. According to Oregon's original statute, juveniles fifteen

819
00:54:33,199 --> 00:54:36,199
and older charged with violent crimes such as murder and

820
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:41,719
rape can be prosecuted as adults, but so called juvenile

821
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:47,440
justice reforms that passed in twenty nineteen introduced more leniency,

822
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:54,480
prioritizing rehabilitation over lifelong incarceration, which meant that Gore could

823
00:54:54,519 --> 00:55:00,360
avoid a life sentence. But to see, Daniel wasn't the

824
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,639
only juvenile in this story, and a lot of you

825
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,079
bleeding heart assholes always seem to side with the perpetrator

826
00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:13,239
instead of the actual victim. You see the victim was

827
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:20,760
also a juvenile. In fact, Milana was only thirteen thirteen,

828
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:27,360
barely a teenager, most certainly still very much a child.

829
00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:31,960
Milana's grandmother offered her opinion on why this piece of

830
00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:36,400
shit deserves zero sympathy, no matter how leftist and backwards

831
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:36,719
you are.

832
00:55:37,519 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 18: My grandute is gone, She's not this anymore here, so

833
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:48,719
I don't want he make here to other people.

834
00:55:49,199 --> 00:55:49,679
Speaker 1: If he.

835
00:55:51,159 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 18: Can plan so he can know what he's doing, So,

836
00:55:58,199 --> 00:56:02,239
of course he has to go to as church as adult.

837
00:56:03,119 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: During countless preliminary hearings, prosecutors argued the obvious that the

838
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,960
premeditated rape, strangulation, and disposal of thirteen year old Milano

839
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:19,840
Lee's body place Gore far beyond the scope of juvenile rehabilitation.

840
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,559
Speaker 13: This case is a horrific crime that occurred to a

841
00:56:24,679 --> 00:56:28,559
thirteen year old girl. It is not the situation where

842
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,159
such leniency should be granted to a defendant who has

843
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,159
been found to have the adult like sophistication and maturity

844
00:56:37,199 --> 00:56:41,119
of an adult. And there are certainly cases where a

845
00:56:41,199 --> 00:56:44,800
second chance should be given to young defendants.

846
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 14: This is not one of them.

847
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,599
Speaker 1: Thankfully, the judge agreed and Gore would stand trial. As

848
00:56:51,639 --> 00:56:55,880
an adult, marking this case as a rare exception to

849
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,760
Oregon soft horseshit laws and propensity to protect violent assholes.

850
00:57:02,639 --> 00:57:06,199
Speaker 14: The judge said Gore was sufficiently mature to understand his actions,

851
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,360
and keeping Gore in the juvenile system is not in

852
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,719
the best interest of Gore and society.

853
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: When his murder trial finally started in November twenty twenty four,

854
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,039
the prosecution laid out a timeline of this brutal crime,

855
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,679
as well as Gore's personal connection to the victim. He'd

856
00:57:24,679 --> 00:57:27,960
only known Milana for roughly two weeks prior to the murder,

857
00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:32,320
when the two were introduced by mutual friends. According to witnesses,

858
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,599
Daniel was well aware that Milana was only thirteen, something

859
00:57:36,679 --> 00:57:41,920
that evidently didn't deter him in the slightest. Forensic analysts

860
00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:46,280
testified to both the surveillance footage and the digital footprint

861
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:51,000
of the suspect leading up to Milana's last moments alive.

862
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,679
In addition to cell phone pings, the state also established

863
00:57:55,679 --> 00:57:59,079
that Gore took Milana's phone and used it to send

864
00:57:59,079 --> 00:58:03,000
deceptive message is pretending to be her. Following the murder,

865
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,519
Gore also messaged multiple friends asking them to lie about

866
00:58:07,519 --> 00:58:10,440
the last time they saw him, and even requested photos

867
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,400
from a recent trip to California in an attempt to

868
00:58:13,519 --> 00:58:18,880
create a false alibi. Prosecutors presented evidence from Gore's Facebook

869
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:26,719
and Instagram as well, under the username body bag eighty six. Yep, yeah,

870
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,639
the defendant's profile picture shows him wearing a white skull mask.

871
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,320
If only there were signs, you know, this image matched

872
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,360
the skulls found carved into a tree at Gore's campsite,

873
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,119
as well as the mask he had in his possession

874
00:58:43,159 --> 00:58:46,559
at the time of his arrest. So what's up with

875
00:58:46,599 --> 00:58:51,119
these skulls? Well, apparently the devil horn joker skull was

876
00:58:51,159 --> 00:58:55,800
the trademark of Gore's favorite musical artist, the trap metal

877
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,559
rapper named Seven. What the fuck is trap metal? You

878
00:58:59,639 --> 00:59:02,639
might ask? Beats a fuck out of me. I'm fifty.

879
00:59:03,199 --> 00:59:07,519
Speaker 7: He would draw this artist, and he made himself a

880
00:59:07,719 --> 00:59:12,119
copy of the same mask that this artist had. He

881
00:59:12,199 --> 00:59:16,840
definitely was less him. It made him feel very disconnected

882
00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:20,519
and it really didn't feel like it was my boyfriend anymore.

883
00:59:20,639 --> 00:59:23,440
Like all he cared about was just that mask and

884
00:59:23,599 --> 00:59:26,400
Seven and being like Seven.

885
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: Well, the artist isn't exactly well known. It's safe to

886
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,159
say he had no idea that he had a super

887
00:59:32,199 --> 00:59:35,800
fan living in the woods of Beaverton, Oregon. I wonder

888
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,039
how many fans I have living out there in them woods.

889
00:59:39,559 --> 00:59:43,320
Hopefully none. When the media first caught wind of the

890
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,360
defendant's journal that was located inside his tent, the words

891
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:51,760
I Feel like Dexter written inside his notebook made headlines everywhere.

892
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,360
Why is every violent dumbass idolized Dexter? By the way,

893
00:59:56,079 --> 00:59:59,840
oh right, right right? Network televisions accessible to the lowest

894
01:00:00,039 --> 01:00:04,199
common denominator must be why so many stupid opinions keep

895
01:00:04,239 --> 01:00:10,440
getting propagated. Local journals regurgitated inaccurate claims that Gore was

896
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:15,239
inspired by the hit Showtime program that was later rerun

897
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:20,920
on CBS I believe distributed to the unwashed masses. They

898
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,679
love to promote their own shows, don't they, Those networks

899
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,239
News at eleven. But had they done the bare minimum

900
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,320
of research, the media may have realized that I Feel

901
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,920
like Dexter is actually the name of one of Seven's songs,

902
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,800
released just a few months before Milana was killed. So

903
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:44,440
the artist he idolizes is just as much of a dumbass.

904
01:00:45,159 --> 01:00:49,079
Cool cool. Also, a little side note, here dexter didn't

905
01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:54,079
actually kill innocent thirteen year old girls. He killed bad guys.

906
01:00:54,119 --> 01:00:55,440
And also shout out to Michael C.

907
01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 4: Hall.

908
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,559
Speaker 1: He's a good actor despite the show sucking. When looking

909
01:00:59,599 --> 01:01:03,679
at Seven's Instagram page, the theme of murder appears to

910
01:01:03,719 --> 01:01:07,719
make up his entire esthetic how edgy.

911
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 7: He would dress up in a bunch of different kinds

912
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,880
of costumes, but the main thing is he had a

913
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,519
mask that like had the eyes cut out and a

914
01:01:16,599 --> 01:01:19,639
drawn on smile on it, and usually it was paired

915
01:01:19,679 --> 01:01:22,360
with like a hat, and it just made it so

916
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,960
you couldn't see his eyes, like his eyes were blacked out.

917
01:01:25,719 --> 01:01:30,360
And in a lot of like his art or like

918
01:01:30,519 --> 01:01:33,400
cover art, the mask would have blood on it, and

919
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,239
it was usually paired with pretty extreme clothing, usually black,

920
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:42,039
like just big boots and heavy black clothing with a

921
01:01:42,039 --> 01:01:46,320
lot of like chains or chokers or stuff like that.

922
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Now I can't help but think that this unoriginal artiste.

923
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,079
Seven gets his name from the popular, very well made

924
01:01:54,679 --> 01:01:59,480
David Fincher flick starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. Great flick,

925
01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:03,039
which gets its name from Oh I don't know the Bible,

926
01:02:03,719 --> 01:02:06,880
seven deadly sins that sort of thing. I mean, how

927
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,559
many NPCs with not a speck of original thought are

928
01:02:10,639 --> 01:02:14,880
walking amongst us these days? You know what, Let me

929
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,639
go see what these fuckers are all about. Give me

930
01:02:16,679 --> 01:02:31,760
a second, I'll be right back. Okay, maybe I'm being

931
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,800
a little harsh. Music's not bad if you're in a

932
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,880
progressive metal It's really not my thing, but it's artistic.

933
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,880
I'll give him that. Maybe Grandpa needs to take a

934
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,320
chill pill and have a little nap. He's getting grumpy.

935
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,199
The murder of thirteen year olds will do that to

936
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:54,079
me anyway. In one photo on the artists Instagram, Seven

937
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:57,840
can be seen wearing a female nurse costume while posing

938
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:03,480
over a makeshift operating tableting open a stuffed doll. Typical

939
01:03:03,679 --> 01:03:07,199
edgy metal shit. I'll be honest, if I was seventeen,

940
01:03:07,239 --> 01:03:10,400
on'd be all over it. The photo shows Seven blowing

941
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,280
a kiss to a wide angle lens while a blood

942
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,800
soaked scalpel, metal hooks, and hatchet or seeing placed atop

943
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,400
a large rubber made container. His opposite hand is Seeing

944
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,079
clenched around the homemade doll.

945
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:26,159
Speaker 11: I e.

946
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: His patient, which has its chest cavity exposed, with a

947
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,320
pair of scissors. Protruding from its ribs. For what it's worth,

948
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:38,519
the doll looks oddly familiar to Jigsaw, you know, the

949
01:03:38,519 --> 01:03:41,679
puppet that rides the tricycle around before pushing you into

950
01:03:41,679 --> 01:03:45,760
a pit of hypodermic needles and the movie Saw. Yeah,

951
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,800
that guy seems like a bit of a clusterfuck of

952
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:53,159
unoriginality if you ask me. But honestly, there's a lot

953
01:03:53,159 --> 01:03:57,280
of that can't be too harsh. While it remained unclear

954
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,400
if Daniel Gore drew any inspiration from this violent rap music,

955
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,880
you can kind of see how dumb people are easily

956
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:08,960
influenced by the media, the defense called a neuropsychologist to

957
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,719
the stand to dispel this motivational theory.

958
01:04:13,039 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 19: Well, what we find is, well, there's been great concern

959
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,880
for musical lyrics from the point of view of predicting

960
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,079
who will commit a crime. It does not predict. In fact,

961
01:04:24,159 --> 01:04:27,559
over the last ten years, as the music has become

962
01:04:27,599 --> 01:04:31,519
more explicit, the crime rates actually gone down. So the

963
01:04:31,559 --> 01:04:37,320
biggest concern is the misuse and misunderstanding putting people who

964
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,880
do write rap music, for example, on trial for their

965
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,559
lyrics when it doesn't predict at all.

966
01:04:43,239 --> 01:04:47,039
Speaker 1: Ultimately, Daniel Gore's obsession with murder rap only helped paint

967
01:04:47,079 --> 01:04:51,840
Gore as a true weirdo to the jury. Something much

968
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,480
more damning, though, where his Internet searches roughly one month

969
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:59,920
before the murder. The jury learned that, on April twenty two,

970
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:05,360
Gore type the words girls and homeless people getting raped

971
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:11,679
into his library's computer terminal. It also searched for videos

972
01:05:11,719 --> 01:05:17,519
depicting women being strangled and suffering fatal neck injuries. Why

973
01:05:17,519 --> 01:05:19,599
does a homeless loser have internet access?

974
01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 10: Again?

975
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh, right, right, so that Democrats can get elected, thanks Obama.

976
01:05:26,159 --> 01:05:30,559
The DNA found inside the victim was confirmed by forensics

977
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,679
to be Daniels, but the defense disgustingly argued that the

978
01:05:35,719 --> 01:05:39,599
sexual encounter was consensual, as if you could have sex

979
01:05:39,599 --> 01:05:44,239
with a thirteen year old consensually. Perhaps their one and

980
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,039
only benefit was that no DNA of Gore's was located

981
01:05:48,119 --> 01:05:52,199
under the victim's fingernails, on her clothes, or anywhere else

982
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,760
at the scene. Having said that, the prosecution was sure

983
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,519
to remind the jury that Milana had been subjected to

984
01:05:59,559 --> 01:06:03,119
the element for nearly two days before her body was found,

985
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,880
and again, she was only thirteen. I assume it's pretty

986
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,840
easy to overpower a thirteen year old and walk away

987
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,840
with barely a scratch, probably harder to wrangle a house cat.

988
01:06:16,599 --> 01:06:21,559
The defendant's ex girlfriend, Eva also testified, recalling her phone

989
01:06:21,559 --> 01:06:25,679
call with the defendant following the murder, and while he

990
01:06:25,719 --> 01:06:29,480
didn't say that he killed her explicitly, he may as

991
01:06:29,519 --> 01:06:29,840
well have.

992
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,039
Speaker 7: And he told me that she tried to kiss him,

993
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,320
but that I shouldn't worry about it at all. I

994
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,719
know that it was rainy either that day or a

995
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,480
couple days after, because he had even mentioned like rain

996
01:06:42,679 --> 01:06:46,480
washing away footprints and that the rain was a good thing.

997
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,599
He did mention going back and saying that he was

998
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:51,960
going to go move her.

999
01:06:53,079 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: At the end of the seven day trial, deliberations lasted

1000
01:06:56,679 --> 01:07:01,400
less than ninety minutes, and on November twenty second, twenty

1001
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:06,840
twenty four, Daniel Gore was found guilty on all counts.

1002
01:07:07,519 --> 01:07:12,239
His expression remained unchanged as the verdict was read. He

1003
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,719
neither protested nor reacted, and maintained the same blank stare

1004
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:21,639
since the day of his arrest, undoubtedly mimicking the expression

1005
01:07:21,679 --> 01:07:24,920
of some hero of his and some piece of media

1006
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,480
looping through his tiny, tiny, tiny brain. At his sentencing hearing,

1007
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,039
prosecutors pushed for the maximum penalty, but before the final

1008
01:07:34,119 --> 01:07:38,440
ruling was handed down, the judge addressed Gore directly.

1009
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,679
Speaker 2: And mister Gore, I had the misfortune, if you will,

1010
01:07:41,719 --> 01:07:45,360
of spending Thanksgiving weekend trying to figure out what I

1011
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,559
was going to say to you. I got to spend

1012
01:07:47,639 --> 01:07:50,960
Thanksgiving with my family, including my child, who is the

1013
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,320
center of my life, and you took that away from

1014
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,920
miss Lee. It is beyond comprehension that you did to say.

1015
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,519
For me to say it's morally reprehensible an un statement.

1016
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,719
I have combed through this case. I have combed through

1017
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,320
every page submitted to me trying to figure out what

1018
01:08:06,519 --> 01:08:09,199
on earth got into your head, ripping her hymen to

1019
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,400
shreds and then strangling her. This was a failure on

1020
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:16,520
so many levels, parenting, the juvenile system, peer groups, the

1021
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,479
community at large. How a sixteen year old is in

1022
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,760
a tent in the suburban area of Beaverton is beyond me.

1023
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,479
For as long as you did, anybody that watched that

1024
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,279
interview with you and the police, you were fully engaged.

1025
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:30,960
You knew fully what you were doing where you tried

1026
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,000
to conceal her body, took pleasure in the fact that

1027
01:08:34,039 --> 01:08:37,279
water would wash away some of the evidence. I find

1028
01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:40,239
you knew exactly what you're doing, and I hope in

1029
01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:43,239
the long sentence you serve I hope, I hope that

1030
01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:45,560
somebody finds out what's wrong with you. I hope I

1031
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,560
never have a person that what you did in standing

1032
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:48,640
in front of again.

1033
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:53,119
Speaker 1: At age eighteen, Daniel Gore was sent to life in prison.

1034
01:08:54,039 --> 01:08:57,760
Of course, though that's not what he's actually going to serve.

1035
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:03,479
You See, this is after all liberal Oregon. Oh my god,

1036
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,119
he's talking about politics again. Murmer. Yeah, it's called the law.

1037
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:12,680
Despite his life sentence on paper for the murder of

1038
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,079
a thirteen year old child and the rape of her

1039
01:09:16,199 --> 01:09:21,680
dead or possibly still a live body, juvenile justice reforms

1040
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:26,560
as they're called, dictate that this pile of human feces

1041
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:32,279
will be eligible for parole in just fifteen years. Daniel

1042
01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:36,479
Gore will likely be released from prison before his thirty

1043
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:40,680
third birthday, just in time for the next Antifa riot.

1044
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,159
Let's just say, I hope karma finds him, and I

1045
01:09:44,199 --> 01:09:47,239
hope it finds him. Well, hope he's having a wonderful

1046
01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:50,279
day that day. When it does, it'll make it that

1047
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:51,880
much sweeter.

1048
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,039
Speaker 5: An eighteen year old who was sentenced to life in

1049
01:09:55,079 --> 01:09:57,279
prison this week for the rape and murder of a

1050
01:09:57,319 --> 01:10:00,960
thirteen year old girl, maybe eligible to leave risen in less.

1051
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:01,399
Speaker 6: Than a decade.

1052
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 14: That's because he was only sixteen at the time of

1053
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,039
the murder, leaving him under the protection of Oregon state law.

1054
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:11,319
And this is drawing criticism from Washington County prosecutors.

1055
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:17,239
Speaker 1: So there you have it, Justice JKJK. You can't help

1056
01:10:17,239 --> 01:10:21,880
but laugh, otherwise you have to cry. Despite his life sentence,

1057
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,039
Daniel Gore will be eligible for conditional release, meaning he

1058
01:10:26,199 --> 01:10:30,920
will be back in the wild after only seven and

1059
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,760
a half years. You'll be able to find him at

1060
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:39,439
your local fucking library. That worst case scenario could come

1061
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:43,800
true as a result of a successful appeal, which Gore

1062
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,800
is currently in the process of putting society through. I mean,

1063
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,239
why wouldn't he it's free, well, not to taxpayers, but

1064
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,800
to him. You get my drift. As for the question

1065
01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:01,720
of whether violent entertainment creates a violent people, it's a

1066
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:06,279
story as old as time, really, and perhaps an idiotic one.

1067
01:11:07,039 --> 01:11:11,920
To put it bluntly, you are responsible for your own

1068
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,399
actions just because you see someone doing something on television

1069
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,720
or hear someone talking about something in a song doesn't

1070
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,680
mean you have the right to go out and do it.

1071
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:29,199
Doesn't mean you have to mimic that behavior. Duh. Quit

1072
01:11:29,239 --> 01:11:34,119
blaming media for shit parenting or non parenting. In fact,

1073
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,479
that's really the key, if you boil it all down.

1074
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:41,960
Shit parenting is responsible for most of the ills of

1075
01:11:42,039 --> 01:11:45,680
the world, if not all. When you start stating that

1076
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,520
sentiment out loud on Facebook, for example, you'd be surprised

1077
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,199
by the amount of outrage and self reporting you'll get.

1078
01:11:54,039 --> 01:11:59,039
Shit parents will adamantly defend their shit parenting or no

1079
01:11:59,199 --> 01:12:03,319
parenting or parenting via iPad. You want to cure all

1080
01:12:03,359 --> 01:12:06,439
the ills of society, make parents liable for what their

1081
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:11,159
kids do instead of television or movies or music. That'll

1082
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:15,079
fix society real quick. And if you can't be responsible

1083
01:12:15,119 --> 01:12:19,439
for your shit kids, then don't fucking have them. You'd

1084
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,439
really be surprised by how many defensive asshole parents are

1085
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,640
quick to point out that you should shut up if

1086
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,119
you're not a parent yourself, as if you have to

1087
01:12:27,119 --> 01:12:29,840
be a rocket scientist to point out that maybe the

1088
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,720
rocket shouldn't blow up on the pad. Unfortunately, all these

1089
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:38,800
rocket scientists parents out there are creating more exploding rockets

1090
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,560
just to get their fuck on. Maybe one day we'll

1091
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,640
finally grow up as a society. Maybe one day we'll

1092
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:56,119
wake up. Let's start taking accountability for our own goddamn actions. Maybe,

1093
01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:19,239
just maybe a boy can dream. Hey, asshole, the show's over.

1094
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:51,560
Do you know where your children are? If you're made,

1095
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,000
just smile or laugh for a cry, or God forbid,
