What the [ __ ] do you mean? They cannot resuscitate him. That's what the [ __ ] I mean. There's no [ __ ] On March the 29th, 2022, 8-year-old Navin Jones was found unresponsive in his room in Peoria, Illinois, where police responded to a heartbreaking scene. When first responders arrived, they immediately noticed that something was wrong when they saw Navin's malnourished body. But, as they conducted their investigation, what they discovered was both shocking and disturbing at the same time. So, long story short, uh last night 8:00 p.m., kid was put to bed by mom. She gets her She's been up. No one's checked on him since she called at like 2:00 in the morning when the first came in to do whatever.

Even though He was last seen at 8:00 p.m. when he went to bed. She's been up for a while. Dad left at 6:00 a.m. didn't check on him, took the other son to work with him. She went to go check on him a little bit ago before she called. Called for him, he didn't answer. No, she's been here. I'm sorry. She's been here. She called for him, didn't hear anything so she went to go check on him. Went in the room, he was unresponsive, cold to the touch so because he was cold Courtney don't I know. And she went on vacation for a couple weeks. It's a nightmare. Homeboy should be here. Homeboy should be. All right. In the course of the investigations, investigators realized that Nevan had been severely malnourished. But that was not the worst news of the day. While emergency workers tried to transport Nevan for medical attention, the situation became even more critical. And that was when everything took a different turn. Ma'am. I'm sorry to interrupt your family, but we're only going to be able to get you to the hospital in the ambulance. Oh my god. Yes. Do you guys have a time? Uh uh she's calling now.

In the end, his father, Brandon R. Walker, was convicted of first-degree murder in December 2023. Speaking of evil parents, let us turn our focus to Christopher and Erica Schultz Parker, who abandoned their 2-year-old daughter in a hot car on the driveway. So, I'm being treated like a murderer? No. I just lost my baby. Not at all. I know that. On July the 9th, 2024, police and EMTs arrived on the scene where 2-year-old Parker Schultes had been abandoned in a hot car by her father for hours after returning from work. When Christopher and Erica realized that their little girl was in an emergency situation, they called 911. And this is what they said. What are you reporting? She was in the car sleeping. She's unresponsive. Okay. And who is she? Please. My daughter. My daughter. Please. Please. Please. And this was out in the driveway? Yes. Is she still breathing? No, she's not breathing, I know. Okay, we need to start CPR right now. Yes, we are. We're doing CPR, yes. Oh my god. Oh my god. How long has this been? Half hour? You know how long? It was, but it turns off. I've been checking. My god. Okay, is she breathing yet? Is she breathing? Oh. When investigators questioned Christopher about what had happened, he immediately got defensive and began to lie to the cops. But he didn't realize at that moment that he was making a huge mistake. The AC was on. What car was it? You guys are here for me, my MDX, the one parked in the driveway. The black one? Okay. The blue. The blue. You guys here for me? Where my car Yeah, we we want to do that. That's why you have so many involved. Okay. I feel like worse. Nightmare. She's She's dead. Like I need to be with her right now. Oh my god, my nose. No. No. She's We have nothing. Sir, we're going to investigate the case and help you. Oh my god. Oh my god. No. Things took a different turn when investigators questioned Christopher and he explained what had happened. What happened today? We went to go uh back around and we uh stopped and looked Oh, we didn't stop and look. We just came home. My daughters were at Elevate with uh my friend next door. They got home about uh 2:00 45 or so. And then um I've just been hanging out at home. She was sleeping in the car and I had the car on. Um but it has a sensor where you know, every 30 minutes or so, it'll turn off if uh I hadn't moved. Um I swore she was in the house playing with her sisters like she always does. I've just been Right now, I've been doing anything else really in the house. And What time Well, we never do this anywhere, but I'm at home, right? Like you're you're you're home, you're safe. You're like your kids are parked at the car in the garage usually, but I just got a Peloton recently and the Peloton is in the garage now. So, that's why it's not even in the garage, but And how long was she sleeping in the car out there? I want to say it was no more than 30 45 minutes. And I don't think their air was off that entire time. I think there was a time in between I had checked on her last, it was still running. She was still sleeping. And then when I went back out, the car was off. Unfortunately for Christopher, his statement would later come back to haunt him as some shocking evidence emerged from the investigation. However, when Christopher got ready to go to the hospital, he quickly realized that something was wrong and soon everything went from bad to worse. Let you know, I don't I don't want to feel like we're intruding, but we're going to have to stand by with you for a while. All right. Is there a reason why? So, any any death we have to treat like a crime scene. What are you saying? I I know this is extremely difficult for you. Um this is a normal process that that we have to follow through with. I don't want you to be blindsided by anything. But that's that's what's going to be going on for right now, okay? So, I'm being treated like a murderer? No. I just lost my baby. Not at all. I know that. And I know this isn't easy for you. That's That's why I'm trying to be straightforward and honest with you, okay? I don't want to keep any secrets. I don't want to hide anything for you.

I know this isn't easy for you, but the quicker we get this done and finished up, the sooner you can be with your wife. All right? I'm trying I'm trying to shower and talk so I can go to the hospital to be with my wife. not going to shower or anything right now. You need to stand by with us. I don't understand why. In a shocking twist, Christopher contradicted himself in the previous audio where he was heard telling the officer that Parker had been in the car since 2:30 p.m. Uh baby was sleeping in the car. And so I had uh taken some stuff inside and I had came back out and the girls were there. They just pulled up. Um And so they came inside and I checked on the baby. She was still sleeping. And then uh came back inside. And that's where I just kind of like I just I don't know. Thinking that she was playing with her sisters. I think that me coming home and thinking that, you know, the girls were going to be home. So, I got to like come back in and out kind of thing. I don't know what like caused me to to do it, but you know, I'm just We're at home. I mean, you think when you're at home with your kids, like you're safe, right? Is before where you used to let her sleep in the car or anything like that? No, that's normally I mean, I have the girls with me usually and the girls are always, you know, good about like, "Dad, get the baby." You know, like we'll all go inside together. Um but yeah, the only time it would ever happen would be like at home in the driveway kind During the investigation, Christopher's children revealed that this was not the first time he did something like this. But it all came down to crucial evidence contained in a string of text messages between Christopher and his wife. I bonded, babe. I'm sorry. His wife responded, "We've lost her. She was perfect." Sheltis then responded, "Babe, our family, how could I do this? I killed our baby. This can't be real." investigation at this point, all right? We have determined that there's probable cause to go ahead and charge you for what happened. Can you come out here, Christopher? No, no. It's okay. It's okay. No. Okay. No. Listen. Listen. No. Listen. No. This doesn't change anything. This doesn't change what what's going on, okay? What happens at this point, it's simple, okay? What happens at this point is you are going to be taken into custody, all right? And you will be booked. And then after you're booked, you have an initial appearance with the judge within the first 24 hours, okay? After the first 24 hours, all right? The judge will determine bond and things like that as far as what happens next. At that point, the case goes to the courts. It'll be between you, it'll be between your attorneys, and it'll be between the county prosecutor. So, again, I can't change the consequences of what happened. All right? But, what I what I'm going to ask of you Okay. Could I just have you stand up for me, please? Come on, Chris. Let's Let's go out here. Can you grab him some shoes, Chris? Come on, Christopher. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Yes. Yeah. In the end, Christopher was arrested and charged with child abuse and second-degree murder. If you thought that was evil, then you haven't seen the case of Lashanda Wilder, who conspired with her girlfriend, Janae Lowe, to end the life of her son. Has he run away before? Okay. Have Have you checked the residence Get the [ __ ] No! NO, I DIDN'T DO THAT! STOP! TASER, TASER. I DIDN'T RESIST! YOU'RE NOT GRABBING an officer's taser. What's wrong with On June the 28th, 2024, Ohio police were dispatched to a local home regarding a missing child. In a frantic 911 call, Lashanda reported that her 8-year-old son, Martonio, had run away from home. But, what the cops would later come to discover was a chilling story. Yes, he is my 8-year-old son. He ran away last night. And you said 10:44 on step And yes, he He ran away last night? Yeah, he ran away last night. We just got him We just got him about like 5 minutes ago. We came looking for him.

So he took I don't know what time it was last time I seen him. We all went to bed like 9:30 to 10:00. My back door was wide open. Oh man. Oh man. When investigators showed up at Lashanda's residence, she told them the same story as the 911 call she had made. And this is when her lies and whack performance began. However, things took a different turn when the officer made a chilling discovery. After a futile effort to locate the missing boy, police began a K9 search of the neighborhood. But strangely, Lashanda and her girlfriend were nowhere to be found. Following this development, investigators obtained a search warrant for their home, where the body of 8-year-old Martonio was later found in a trash bag inside another container. The next day, Lashanda turned herself in to the authorities, and Lowe was found at a family member's residence. Lowe, I'm coming. Okay, come on out. You miss Lowe? I did. Okay. Okay, put your hands behind your back, palms together like you're praying. I'm going to detain you in handcuffs, okay? You got shoes on, dude? Yes. Okay. Step over here with me. All right.

Meanwhile, the situation began to take a different turn when a member of Lowe's family was heard yelling at an officer, and that was when things turned messy. I'm Sergeant with Columbus Police. HEY, SO HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, OKAY? We need Ms. Lowe's cell phone. If If somebody OKAY, SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? Hey guys, I'm still talking, okay?

In the end, Lashanda Wilder and John Lowe were each charged with murder, endangering children, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse. Next, we look at the unthinkable case of Rachel Henry, who sang to her three young children as she smothered them to death. On January the 21st, 2020, Phoenix police officers arrived at the scene where Talk to Yeah. Get her out. Yeah, let's go. Hey, out. I know. I know. It's okay. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. YOU'RE OKAY. YOU'RE OKAY. NO, it's okay. Hey, come on. Come here. Come here. Come here. We're going to talk. When investigators tried to question Rachel, she gave conflicting information, leading the officers to believe that there was some sort of foul play. However, it didn't take long before the truth surfaced. She kept telling me to clean the house. She kept telling me to clean the house. I was cleaning the house and did laundry and cleaning and I thought they were sleeping and they fell asleep watching a movie. And I came home and was laying on the couch and I told him watch them. Hi bye. Oh, sorry. I told him to watch them laying on the couch. This is um He's been laying on the couch. Mom Rachel Henry. Okay. He's been laying on the couch since he got home.

They're up all night most of the time. You don't get them to go to sleep till like 3:00. However, when another officer spoke to Pearl, the great aunt of the children, the story was totally different. And it was at this point that it became clear that something terribly wrong had happened. When we got back, Pedro said, "Dia, come here." He was hysterical. He said, "I checked on the kids while they were still asleep." "Why were they still sleeping at this time? I was going to wake them up because they'll be up all night. He Right. He said he said they're stiff and and that's all and everything just I don't know anything after that. I just Okay. I started freaking out. I was like, "What? What?"

Moments later, Pearl made a shocking statement that brought a total twist to the entire story. I told him cuz I figured the girl was weak. I'm going to bring up the I'm going to bring up the Come out one day and and find her drowning the kids in the tub. But just as it was beginning to seem as if Pearl was making up the whole story, another mystery was unraveled this time by Rachel herself. I came out here and I couldn't get a job because I lost my driver's license. And I couldn't find it at all. And all I wanted to do was get a job and I kept trying and trying and trying and I'm trying to get my life to turn my life around, get my act right.

If given the chance I could actually make that happen. Indefinitely. No doubt. Cuz I mean I I do everything I can. I want to do better life. I'm going to need to go through some counseling. Following her conversation with the officer and her cold demeanor, the officers then decided to take Rachel downtown for further questioning, where she would later change her story one more time. But David says Rachel admitted to smothering each child starting with the 1-year-old female. Rachel was playing with the 1-year-old female and wrestling on top of her. Rachel felt the 1-year-old female's breathing was obstructed, but continued to impede her breath by placing her hand over the 1-year-old female's mouth. Rachel stated the 1-year-old female kicked as she did so, while the 3-year-old male yelled no at her, and then attempted to get her to stop. Rachel knew she had killed the 1-year-old female when she stopped kicking. Rachel said the 3-year-old male attempted to help the 1-year-old female by punching Rachel to no avail. 3-year-old male into a back bedroom where she changed his underpants. As Rachel did so, she placed the 3-year-old male on the floor of the bedroom, straddled him with one of her legs, and placed her hand over his nose and mouth. Rachel described singing to the 3-year-old male as he scratched her chest and pinching her while she placed her hand over his nose {slash} mouth. Rachel used her weight on top of the 3-year-old male straddling him to smother him until he died. The document continues. Rachel fed the 7-month-old female a bottle in her bedroom until she fell asleep. Rachel sang a song as she placed her hand over her face and impeded her breathing. Rachel sang to the 7-month-old female until she became unconscious and died. Rachel placed all of the children in a position on the living room couch as if they were taking a nap. In the end, she was charged with first-degree murder of her three children.
