WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:09.439 In the early hours of September the twenty first, twenty sixteen, 2 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.720 in Dearborn, Michigan, a rage filled father unleashed a nightmare 3 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.039 on his unsuspecting family. 4 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.359 He made his wife watch while he shot and killed 5 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:26.920 her two teenage children. I can't imagine anything more cruel. 6 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.320 I'm yelling to him like, no, you know, no, my baby. 7 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.920 I was bagging him not to shoot her because once 8 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.200 he shattered her, beg you know, she was bleeding from 9 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.200 her mouth and I knew she wasn't gonna make it. 10 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.079 The killer was forty nine year old Gregory Green, and 11 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.000 his reign of terror was far from over. 12 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.640 He carried the two other girls out to the garage, 13 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.960 placed them in the car, tucked them in, shut the door, 14 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.159 and turned the car on, and they ultimately succumbed to 15 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.600 carbon monoxide poisoning. 16 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.640 He was probably the most terrific crime than I've ever 17 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.519 seen or dealt with during my career. 18 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.599 But astonishingly, this wasn't the first time Gregory Green had 19 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.680 killed his family. 20 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.760 Back in nineteen ninety one, he killed his first wife, 21 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.319 and not only her, but also the unborn child, his 22 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:24.879 child that she was carrying. 23 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.799 The man who killed his family twice would forever come 24 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:51.400 to be known as one of the world's most evil killers. 25 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.879 In twenty seventeen, fifty year old Gregory Green was ordered 26 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.599 to spend the rest of his natural life in prison 27 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.439 for the murders of his two stepchildren, nineteen year old 28 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.439 Chadney and seventeen year old Kara, and his two biological daughters, 29 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.120 five year old Koi and Kayley, who was just four. 30 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.280 His final act of power over faith Green, Gregory Green 31 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.439 allowed her to live and forced her to witness the 32 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.439 murder of her children, and that gave him the power 33 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.800 in his mind to manipulate her and make her live 34 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.280 with these horrific memories for the rest of her life. 35 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.479 I don't understand the mentality, but it seemed like torture 36 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:47.719 to me. 37 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.520 There was no trial. For the second time in his life, 38 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.560 Gregory Green pled guilty to the murder of his family. 39 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.680 This case is a perfect example that shows how incredibly 40 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.680 dangerous coercively controlling people can become. Those children were totally dispensable, 41 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.039 irrespective of whether they were step children or biological children. 42 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.319 I have got to make this woman pay, you Locke, 43 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.800 and pay with your lives, so that I can restore 44 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.879 my ego. How evil is that? 45 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.280 This killer's story begins in Michigan on October the twelfth, 46 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.800 nineteen sixty six. 47 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.520 Gregory Green was born in Dearborn and the outskirts of Detroit, 48 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.759 and in fact, he spent its entire life in Dearborn. 49 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.199 We known a great deal about Green's upbringing, but we 50 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.199 do know that it was a loving household, brought up 51 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.960 with his mother and father than siblings, and I think 52 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.639 he described it later in life as a comfortable upbring. 53 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.280 Green's second wife, Faith, remembers him talking about his childhood. 54 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.479 He said that like in high school, he always had 55 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.879 nice things. There were times like if he didn't want 56 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.959 to go to school, he didn't have to. 57 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.199 By his early twenties, Green had married his first wife, Tanya, 58 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.240 and joined a church community on the outskirts of Detroit 59 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.680 led by Faith's father, pastor Fred Harris. 60 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.639 As a little girl, I loved going to church. My 61 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.639 dad became a pastor when I was about eleven. 62 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.399 It was at church where Faith first met the man 63 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439 who would turn out to be her future husband. 64 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.839 I was fourteen years old at that time. He was 65 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.959 probably about twenty four twenty five. He had no blue 66 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.319 that I had a crush on and I thought that 67 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.040 he was cute. Things like that. I used to just 68 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:06.000 say hi to sometimes after church, sit next to He 69 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.800 was there for a while, then he wasn't there anymore. 70 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.839 In nineteen ninety one, unbeknownst to fourteen year old Faith, 71 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.839 Gregory Green had been sent to prison for killing his wife, Tanya. 72 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.240 On the fourteenth of July, Green attacked Tanya, and at 73 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.560 that point, she was six months pregnant with Green's child. 74 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.959 He attacked her brutally, ferociously, stabbing her in the face, chest, neck, back, 75 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:42.480 killing not only Tanya but also the unborn child. Certainly, 76 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.000 one of the factors that triggered Green's behavior was the 77 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.160 fact that she was planning to divorce him. I don't 78 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.800 think Green wanted anybody else to have Tanya. If he 79 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.040 couldn't have her, no one else was going to have her. 80 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.920 Gregory Green calmly dialed nine one one to report what 81 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.319 he'd done and waited for the police to arrive and 82 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.160 arrest him. 83 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.600 It's really interesting when looking at the emotional state of 84 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.800 people who kill somebody close to them, like a wife 85 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.879 or a child. The first emotion they feel afterwards is relief, 86 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:28.600 not remorse, not shame, not guilt, not terror, relief, So 87 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.560 they can in that moment behave quite rationally, but overlay 88 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.759 that with the fact that they have felt completely justified 89 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.240 in killing their wife for trying to leave them. 90 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.600 Gregor Agreen pled no contest to the crime, a second 91 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.560 degree murder. He was sentenced to a minimum of fifteen 92 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.920 years in a maximum of twenty five years in the 93 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.560 Michigan Department of Corrections. 94 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.000 While Green was serving his sentence for the murder of Tanya, 95 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.000 the woman who was to become his second wife, was 96 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.120 going about an ordinary life. In fact, she got married 97 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.160 and she had two children. 98 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.399 I met Kiara and Chaney's dad in the tenth grade, 99 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.360 and immediately I just fell for him. 100 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.480 And then once. 101 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.920 I graduated from high school, that's when we really started dating. 102 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.879 And then I got pregnant with my son when I 103 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.480 was nineteen. He was I shouldn't say like my little buddy, 104 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.399 but he was like me. He was a night out. 105 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.240 Even when I carried him, he was up at night. 106 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.680 That's just how I was. So he was just a 107 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.519 quiet child and we did a lot together. He was 108 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.279 very smart and artistic till he started drawing when he 109 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.079 was really little. 110 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.360 Another child followed quickly. When her son Chatney was almost 111 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.199 two years old, Faith gave birth to a daughter, Kara. 112 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.279 Kara was always the type of child where whatever the 113 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.759 brother did, she wanted to be able to do it too. 114 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.399 When he was learning to tie his shoes, she was like, 115 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.800 I can do it too. She always wanted to boss him, 116 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.920 so I always had to tell her, like, Kiera. 117 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.680 You know, stop bossing your stop bussing your brother. 118 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:11.959 Row. 119 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.120 He just wanted to play his games and things like that. 120 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.360 But as they got older, the relationship got better. 121 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.839 Meanwhile, Gregory Green had been serving time in prison for 122 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.000 the murder of his first wife. Most of his adult 123 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.960 life had been spent behind bars, but in two thousand 124 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.279 and five a push to give him a second chance 125 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.960 gain momentum. 126 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.080 Green, as was typical of him, maintained an absolutely calm 127 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.960 presence in prison, but he was refused parole four times 128 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:58.559 because he showed no empathy and no remorse whatever for Killingtonia, 129 00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.840 an example child. 130 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.519 After that first murder, Gregory Green was a walking threat 131 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.440 to any woman that he was going to get into 132 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:13.840 a relationship with, especially if that woman challenges him or 133 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.240 attempts to leave him. 134 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.159 Green had been imprisoned for a considerable period of time 135 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.440 when pastor Fred Harris, who was a well known figure 136 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:28.759 in Detroit, began a campaign to get him released. Harris 137 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:32.440 told the parole board that Green would be supported by 138 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.960 the local community and welcomed back into the church. What 139 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.360 he didn't do, and that's so significant. Later he didn't 140 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.960 warn his daughter Faith, exactly what Green had done and 141 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.080 why he'd been in prison. 142 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.000 In two thousand and eight, after sixteen years behind Buzz, 143 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.120 Gregory Green was granted parole at the age of forty one. 144 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.519 He had a chance to start over, but his insatiable 145 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.159 lust for murder could not be controlled, and eventually he 146 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:16.519 would kill again. In two thousand and eight, Gregory Green 147 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.600 had just been released from prison after spending sixteen years 148 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.919 behind BUZZ for the murder of his first wife and 149 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:29.159 that unborn child. When Faith, who was single again, ran 150 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.639 into him at church, old feelings resurfaced. 151 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:35.519 Yeah. 152 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.120 First, he didn't even know who I was until I 153 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.440 told him. Then he was like, oh, okay, you know, 154 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.000 he didn't even have a clue that I had like 155 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.200 this crush on him. And a few times, like after church, 156 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.240 I would talk to him and then eventually we exchanged numbers. 157 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.519 One day, we went out to dinner, just talked the kids, 158 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:59.440 seemed like they liked them, and we just eventually started dating. 159 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.679 Tragically, Faith wasn't aware of Green's crime when he was released. 160 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.039 Her father didn't tell her, and I'm absolutely sure in 161 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.480 my own mind that Green didn't tell her either, as 162 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.440 far as she was concerned. With the help of her father, 163 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.000 Green was being rehabilitated. 164 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.679 I probably should have asked more questions. I did know 165 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.000 that he had went to prison. We were told there 166 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.279 was some type of altercation, but it was self defense. 167 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.879 Any allegations made against him, he's going to deny, He's 168 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.559 going to minimize, He's going to make it look like 169 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.840 he was the victim. This is something that is so common. 170 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:43.240 They call it DARVO, deny attack, reverse victim, and offender. 171 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.879 Now that is straight from the coercive control playbook. 172 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.000 He moved in with me for a little bit, but 173 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.480 I was just feeling like something wasn't right. I don't 174 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.000 know if it was just too soon. I ended up 175 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.559 breaking it off with him for a while for a 176 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.159 little bit, and then we started talking back. And then 177 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.240 that's how I got pregnant with KOI, like we weren't 178 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.919 even in a relationship or anything like that. A couple 179 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.120 months after I had KOI, that's when we ended up 180 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.840 getting married. 181 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.240 In twoenty and eleven, Green and his new wife moved 182 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.039 into their first house together. 183 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.879 The city of Dewberent Heights is pretty much a bedroom 184 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.399 community borders the city of Detroit on the east side 185 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.159 of the city. Nice place to live, pretty safe. It's 186 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.519 good community, very eclectic, very diverse. 187 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.279 It didn't take long for Faith to realize that Green 188 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.559 perhaps wasn't quite as angelic as she might have thought, 189 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.440 and quite quickly she became unsettled. 190 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.440 I didn't really know what was going on with him 191 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.799 on the inside. 192 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:56.840 You just would shut down. 193 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.519 That's when I started to see the attitude and things 194 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:01.840 like that. 195 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.679 Coercive control is a pattern of behavior designed to trap 196 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.440 someone in a relationship, and that will be the motivation 197 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.480 of the controlling person, so they will do all sorts 198 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.919 of things within that relationship, what we call tactics to 199 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.320 make sure that person stays where they are, stays compliant, 200 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.000 never leaves. 201 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.000 Everything was just koy koy koy. He would tell me 202 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.399 things like, if I leave the house, I got to 203 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.159 take her with me. He didn't really want to give 204 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.840 me a break. 205 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.919 There was only one. 206 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.679 Time during that first year where I was able to 207 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.120 go out with one of my friends and then he 208 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:45.879 was calling me. 209 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:47.080 I'm like, it only had been. 210 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.480 Literally probably like an hour, hour and a half, and 211 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.559 I was getting ready to be back on my way home. 212 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.639 Green was incredibly controlling of Faith. He tried to isolate 213 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.039 her from forms of an influence. He would have used 214 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.120 psychological tactics where he would demean her and question her 215 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.320 so that she was constantly trying to meet his expectations. 216 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.480 In his rules, he will be presenting that as very normal. 217 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.480 That's the way of things. You've got your role, I've 218 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.960 got mine. You get on with yours, and as long 219 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.559 as you do it properly, I'll leave you alone. 220 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.320 Like many women in that situation, Faith stayed with Green 221 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.120 for the sake of her daughter, Coy. 222 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.080 Was funny. She thought she knew it. Ours love wearing dresses. 223 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.200 Love wearing dresses. That was her thing. 224 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.200 Almost two years after Coy was born, Green and Faith 225 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.200 had a second daughter, Kayley. 226 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.759 Somehow, Green didn't take to the second daughter as much 227 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.960 as he'd taken to the first. 228 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.519 When she came he didn't want to thing to do 229 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.080 with her. I don't know if it was because you 230 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.759 didn't want another child. I could even take that if 231 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.000 if that's what it was, you know, I mean, I 232 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.919 don't have to like it, but make it make sense. 233 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.480 It got to the point where it was really tense 234 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.039 in a house. 235 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.320 The home was a well kept home, nice area by 236 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.240 all accounts, you know, just a good family living in 237 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.159 a quiet suburb raising their kids. So kind of goes 238 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.200 to the heart of what we deal with in policing 239 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.840 every day. You never know what's going on behind closed doors. 240 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:43.240 Despite Green's apparent indifference to his second daughter, Kayleie, was 241 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.879 adored by Faith Kayleie. 242 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:51.240 Kayleie was a little little rambunctious. She was glued to 243 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:51.600 my head. 244 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:56.000 She was observant. She sat back and watched when her 245 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.240 dad was mean to her. I used to say, let's 246 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.120 let's pray, and then she tell me, Mommy. 247 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:02.159 That's right. 248 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.320 It was a couple of times he flitched at her 249 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.480 and she would stand up to him. No baby should 250 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.080 have to do that. 251 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:07.639 You know. 252 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.840 One night I was sitting on the couch and he's yelling, hollering, 253 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.559 just saying the meaning things to me and calling me names. 254 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.360 But he's holding cooy, So I'm like, can you please 255 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.960 just put her down? So finally I got him to 256 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:32.519 put her down. Then he starts yelling. He starts kicking 257 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.799 the couch. Kaylee's on this end. I'm like, please stop 258 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.519 kicking the couch. That was my point there. I was 259 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.200 just like, I have to leave. 260 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.960 Faith attempted to get to personal protection order against her husband. 261 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.279 I tried to go to the Dearborn Heights Police Department 262 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.200 to follow a ppo. 263 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.559 I filled out the paperwork. 264 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.600 They came back less than five minutes and told me 265 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.519 it's not enough information. 266 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.359 People don't go and get protective orders for nothing. They 267 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.440 don't apply for them for nothing. But for some reason, 268 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.000 probably a lack of evidence, I would have thought that 269 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.640 protective order was not granted. 270 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.559 Domestic violence is one of those crimes that are unpoliceable, 271 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.960 and that's one of the things that the police hate. 272 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.920 We want to protect the public, we want to do 273 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.680 what's out there. But the law, everybody thinks it's black 274 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.480 and white, it's really not. 275 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.240 I decided to go back to work and I said, 276 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.799 I'm just gonna make a plan to leave on a 277 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.720 last day of school and that's what I did. 278 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.240 After Faith left her husband, they lived apart for a 279 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.079 couple of years. 280 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.279 I did file for a divorce. 281 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:52.640 And we were at one of our I guess divorce proceedings, 282 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.759 and then I felt like we needed to talk. I 283 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.559 didn't think like we were going to talk to get 284 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.920 back together, but that's what ended up happening. So I said, well, 285 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.240 this time, we really need to talk about things in detail. 286 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.599 And I felt like that's what we were really doing. 287 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.480 I felt like he was making an effort. 288 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.880 This is a controlling and manipulative person, so they will 289 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.519 use any tactic they think of that is going to 290 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.880 work for them to get what they want. Faith would 291 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.400 probably have believed him that he was genuine, that he 292 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:29.440 was going to change. 293 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.039 They never do. 294 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:36.519 In twenty fourteen, Green and Faith reunited and eventually she 295 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.480 moved back into the family home with her four children. 296 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.359 It would prove to be a fatal mistake. 297 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.960 It was okay for a few months. He wanted the 298 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.240 girls and everybody. 299 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.799 Have a good Christmas. 300 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.400 So we got this huge Christmas tree that went up 301 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.200 to the ceiling, bring out the toys and everything in 302 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.440 the house. We were talking about renewing our vows, but 303 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.599 things were just slowly dwindling. I was just like, oh, 304 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.359 this is not gonna work. 305 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.000 Green would never have been able to sustain this character 306 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.920 that he was playing. Once he got what he wanted, 307 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.359 gone forget it. This is not who he is. Who 308 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.480 he is is a manipulative, abusive controller. 309 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.640 As time went on, he was getting worse. 310 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.440 So this time I'm dead, said, I'm like, I can't 311 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.880 change my mind. I can't continue to put my children 312 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.200 through this. 313 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.200 In August twenty sixteen, Faith filed for divorce for a 314 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.160 second time. 315 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:46.079 Statistically, the period of separation or the threat of separation 316 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.799 in a relationship where there's intimate partner violence is the 317 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:54.359 most dangerous time for a victim. And the reason for 318 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.240 that is because it's not about violence, it's about power 319 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.799 and control. So when the abuser in the relationship feels 320 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:08.160 that they're losing that power and control, their behavior ramps 321 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.960 up and can become much much more violent. 322 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.960 Next I know he's mad, he was just really upset. 323 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:19.720 Cursing is real belligerent. And then eventually he left him 324 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.079 went to work, and I thought I was going to 325 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.319 be all right, because the most Greg ever did was 326 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.440 just yell, hollered maybe be in my face. I just 327 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.079 continue to go on about my day as usual. 328 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:39.000 It was at that point Gregory Green felt he ultimately 329 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.039 lost control of the situation and she was going to 330 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.480 take his home. She was going to take his children, 331 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.960 and he was not going to permit that to happen. 332 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.000 It would be less than a month after he was 333 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:58.160 served as divorce papers that Gregory Green finally snapped. What 334 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.640 followed was a night of app salute horror that would 335 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:15.759 change Faith's life forever. By September twenty sixteen, Faith Green 336 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.720 had served her husband with divorce papers for the second time. 337 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.039 Gregory Green knew his marriage was over. 338 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.119 On the twentieth of September twenty sixteen, Green unleashed a 339 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.279 nightmare on his unsuspecting family. 340 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.960 It started off as a normal day, it spiraled into 341 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.720 Faith Green and Gregory Green having an argument over text 342 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.799 messages about the state of their marriage and the fact 343 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.519 that she had filed for divorce. By the time Faith 344 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.880 Green returned to the house that day, Gregory Green had 345 00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.720 become consumed by anger. 346 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.640 If I go to sleep and I remember him coming 347 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.359 into the girls' room cause I was sleeping in their room, 348 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.799 and he was like, come in the living room. It 349 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.559 seemed serious, so I got up. I go into the 350 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.559 living room and I see my son in there, and 351 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:16.880 I'm thinking in my head, like he woke my son up, 352 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.799 so I can tell he was sleep. Gray takes out 353 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:26.519 these big zip ties. I never seen zip tides that 354 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.759 big in my in my life ever, I didn't even 355 00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.839 know they made him that big. So he's like, I 356 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:32.720 want you to tie your mother up with this. So 357 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.039 Chad is like, Gray, wait, then he pulls a gun out. 358 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.079 So I was like, chadny, just just just do what 359 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.200 he says. So he made my son zip tide me. 360 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.799 And then that's when he proceeded the zip tie my son. 361 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.680 I was froze. I couldn't do anything. 362 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.160 Car came to the living room looking like he's tripping, 363 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.200 like what is wrong with and like, you know, you know, 364 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.480 lost his mind. She has no clue what just happened. 365 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:09.319 But he ends up zip tying her and then he 366 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:14.079 says he wants us to go to the basement. We 367 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.440 just look at each other. The thoughts were so loud, 368 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.599 like go to the basement. We just look at each other, 369 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:24.440 and then we go down to the basement. And then 370 00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:28.759 he made us lay down on the floor, duct tape 371 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:34.880 our mouths, duck paper around our arms behind our back ankles, 372 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.240 and then he like extra, duct take me a lot. 373 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:43.319 I was thinking that he was just gonna take the 374 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.559 girls and leave. That's what I was thinking. I never 375 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.319 thought he was gonna do anything more than that. I 376 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.880 thought he was really just trying to, like, really just 377 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.440 scare me. 378 00:23:54.559 --> 00:24:00.480 Gregory Green had a mindset where above everything else, he 379 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:06.720 was entitled to things. He was superior, he was better, 380 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.519 and if you didn't give him what he was entitled to, 381 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:17.519 he would respond really, really badly, almost like a petulant toddler. 382 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.559 But a petulant toddler is nowhere near as dangerous as 383 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.200 a fully grown, violent man with access to weapons. 384 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.200 He sits down on a counter in the basement and 385 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.200 he says, I'm going to suffer for what I did 386 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.359 to him and his girls, and he doesn't want his 387 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:40.319 girls raised by anybody in my family. I just felt 388 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.880 so there because I couldn't help us. 389 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:44.079 What was I going to do? 390 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.160 Green spent the next hour going in and out of 391 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.720 the basement. When he returned for the final time, he 392 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.799 turned his gun on seventeen year old Kara. 393 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:01.640 He sat her in the beck twice and she just 394 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.160 looked at me. I'm yelling to him like no, you know, no, 395 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.279 my baby, that I was begging him not to shoot her. 396 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:13.519 Cause once he shot her in the back, you know, 397 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.319 she was bleeding from her mouth and I knew she 398 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:18.480 wasn't gonna make it. 399 00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:25.640 He knacks turned the gun on Chadney. He shot Chadney 400 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:31.640 twice in the back and once in the hut, and. 401 00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:34.799
