A young boy's body, his head gone. In the autopsy report, it's confirmed that the dead body is that of Eli Hart. He was shot around nine times, likely while he was helplessly strapped in the car. >> I never hurt him. I would never do anything to him. I'd protect him. You have to believe me. This is my baby boy. >> Their shirt from her cell records that Julissa drove her son to Lake Minnetonka Park, where she ruthlessly shot Eli nine times while he was strapped in his child safety seat. But the investigation that follows regarding Eli's earlier childhood leaves everybody speechless when proof implies that the little boy's death could have been prevented by child protection services. Dakota County Social Services had received numerous warnings about Julissa being a serious drug addict whose substance abuse also led Eli to Townes-Brocks syndrome by birth, resulting in hearing loss. Detectives also learned that Julissa bought a shotgun and bullets on May 17th, 2022, 3 days before Eli's murder. Furthermore, disturbing findings come to light from Julissa's internet search history, which are enough to paint a picture of what was going on in her mind. The jury deliberated for less than 2 hours. They returned a guilty verdict on Julissa, convicting her of first-degree murder. >> Yes, I would like to say something. >> Go ahead. >> Um, I'm innocent. You all >> You're garbage. >> The case still sparks dispute on the child protection system completely overlooking the early warning signs with Julissa Thaler, and many believe that Eli's death was preventable. >> Somewhere alone in the bitterness, I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life.
