On the morning of May 11th, 2023, first
responders race to a home in Fairfield
Township, Ohio, where a woman covered in
severe burns has reportedly fallen from
a second story window. But what begins
as a rescue takes a dark turn when she
reveals this was no accident. And she
knows exactly who is responsible. All
this is fake, man. All people want to
work with the devil to try to get me
down, man. The following report is based
on official police records, and most of
the following footage has never been
seen before until now. Just after 10:00
a.m., dispatchers receive a distressing
phone call alerting them to a dire
emergency. Fle County 911. What is the
address of the emergency? My neighbor
behind my house is laying out and looks
like she caught on fire or something.
Okay. Can you yell at her real quick?
See if she can get her to wake up. She's

Your son.
A Fairfield Township Police officer is
in the middle of arresting a suspect for
an unrelated crime when he hears the
alert over his radio. For a female burn
victim, the male has to set her on fire.
Oh, get her out. Get her out. Go to
that. Come on. Get out.
Here's his here's his phone so he
doesn't drop it.
With an officer on the way to respond,
the dispatcher continues gathering
crucial details from the caller. Can you
ask her son's name or if he has any
weapons? Does it Do you know if he had
any weapons? Yes.
Water with gasoline. He threw it on her.
You said it was your boyfriend.

coming out of the house on the top
floor. He set the house on fire. The
house on fire, too. Oh my

of her body. Oh my god. The officer
arrives and quickly locates the victim,
50-year-old Brenda Scott, who's in
critical condition.
64. I've got the female in the back.
Severe burns control. Give me an off
channel.

Honey, stay with me. I'm Officer
Stevens. Just stay with me, okay? I got
the medics are coming to get you right
now. To breathe, huh? I got to breathe.
I'm in the house. I can't breathe. They
knock my feet out. At the front of the
house, the suspect, 23-year-old Robbie
Robinson Jr., can be seen emerging from
the front door. He walks right up to a
first responder who doesn't yet realize
who he is. Thankfully, the officer spots
him and takes quick action to secure him
into custody. Come to me now. There's a
fire going off in the room. Okay. I
don't know what happened. It just It
just went off, bro. I try to I try to
stop till I find out what's going on.
All right. What happened? Is there
anybody else in the house? Who?

She says she needs her inhaler out of
the house. She's burned bad. Do you need

on. Give me a minute. Say anything about
what happened? No.
Allegedly, she was a domestic.
They're saying that he pou gas on her,
lit her up. She
Meanwhile, another officer keeps a close
eye on Robbie, who begins sharing a
version of events that doesn't quite
match the victims. We're just kind of
hanging out. I know they're going to
have a lot of questions for you. Okay.
Is he all right, though? Like, what? I
don't know, man. I just got here. You
tell me what's going on. Oh, no. The
fire. I just started a fing of fire and
I tried to get the fire extinguisher
from my rope from like I tried to get
the fire extinguisher and try to take it
out real quick, but I it was just all
black in there. I couldn't see. When the
sergeant arrives at the scene, the
officer fills him in on what information
he's gathered so far. He comes out of
the house. Chief said he was in the
house. It's Robbie. He's in custody.
He's in the back of my car. Haven't
talked to him yet. I get here. She said
he knocked out my teeth. She lay with a
mouthful of blood and she's burned all
to hell. This is the gentleman that
called. He's a witness. She jumped out
of the second floor window. She's right
here. You can
see right here, Serge.
Her teeth are busted out. He physically
started her before. He set her on fire.
Alive and conscious, Brenda manages to
answer what question she can. Were they
just fighting? I guess I I'm going to go
with yes for Okay. Were you guys Did he
set you on fire? What were you guys
arguing about? Fighting.
What happened?
I know. We're working on it. Okay,
you're fine. Though Brenda is unable to
give more details, the grim scene inside
her bedroom will soon paint a horrifying
picture of what she endured. For now,
the officer meets with the neighbor who
reported the incident. Thank you for
calling me, man. Oh, no problem.
Appreciate you. What did you see? And so
I literally I had a meeting at 10:30 and
I so I was like, "Let me let my dogs out
real quick." And I let the dogs out and
I just saw her there and I saw smoke. So
I come running over and I said, "What do
you think?" She said, "Help me. Help
me." This exact moment was captured on
his home surveillance camera.
Back at the cruiser, the sergeant reads
Robbie his Miranda rides before
questioning him about the incident.
Anyone know? I've gotten her side of it.
What happened in here, brother? What
happened in that? Why did you say the
fire started? I tried to get the fire
extinguisher real quick to take it all
out. So, she You didn't put her on fire?
No. Well, why did she say that? You lit
on fire. Why did the fire start? I don't
know. I just went in there trying to
take it out. I heard a fire be my fire
alarm go off and I went in there with
the fire extinguisher. Okay. Hey, man.
What is she to you? Uh, just my father's
girl. Like girlfriend? Yeah. What's your
dad's name? Robbie. Robinson. So, you're
also Robbie Robinson.
Was it just you and her home? Yeah, I
tried my best to get her out of there. I
tried my best, but it was like so much
smoke going on. I just went and like
I used up the entire fire extinguisher
just to get her out of there. I was
going to call 911, but I couldn't find
my phone. It was so smoky in the room.
Okay. Yeah, I saw a lot of smoke coming
out of there today. What time's the last
time you talked to her? Uh, no. I didn't
really talk to her. They came in They
come They go They go to work together.
Where was
she? Out of my Indiana showing status. I
have no clue. Probably in the bedroom. I
think I mean most likely in the bedroom.
With Brenda on her way to the hospital
for emergency treatment. Officers begin
searching the home. Though the footage
has been redacted, audio from the
officer's body cam continues to record
as they step inside and make a series of
chilling discoveries. Right behind you,
big lighter. Who spread the fire
extinguisher and all this? We think he
might have after
potentially. Yeah. So, if you just watch
your feet here with the teeth, if you
walk over to the other side of the bed
there, you'll see where there's the the
potential bottles. Maybe there's been
water bottles she was drinking out of.
For all we know, here's the bottles that
are filled with a potential a potential
accelerator. It's just discoloration
because of the Right. Right. Right.
There's some liquid that's been used. I
know that there's at least two Jeep up
there that I've seen. Okay. I saw two
right there. Uh, the one downstairs.
You saw one downstairs? There's one
right there. Potentially. That is. So,
my next question is I wonder what was
used. It takes a lot to knock Mike's
teeth out. Be careful. I would say with
her teeth being over here. This is where
the fight started potentially. I mean,
it could have been anything up here.
There's a rock there. There's a speaker
system. Yeah, there's that one over
there, which the way he was lobbing the
water, he may have knocked it over. If
you walk over here, you can see the
blood spatter trail. Here's where she
grabbed a hold. She probably climbed
out. You can see where she grabbed one.
There's part of her skin. Here's blood.
And she lowered herself down and
dropped. See the
print. And that's from her mouth. And
she was bleeding from the mouth when I
got
her. There's
all the smoke from this. There's one
laying on the floor in that room there,
sir. I don't know where this one's at.
That's an interesting I noticed that
earlier. The evidence suggesting the
smoke detectors had been removed
throughout the home calls into question
an earlier claim made by Robbie. I heard
a fire be my fire alarm go off and I
went in there with the fire
extinguisher. Given Brenda's testimony
along with the evidence located in the
home, Robbie is placed under arrest and
transported to the Butler County Jail
where he promptly calls his mother,
Renee. Have you seen the lawyer yet? No,
ma'am. Okay. She should be coming there.
Don't say nothing to nobody. Say nothing
to nobody. Don't say anything. They They
trying to send some cuz they recording
us right now. Awake.
Yes. Yes. The person is Yes.
Yes.
Yes. Okay. So, don't worry about
anything. We working on this. Okay. This
is not going down like this. This is not
happening and we got your back.
Meanwhile, investigators meet with the
victim's boyfriend, Robbie Robinson,
Senior, in an effort to determine what
could have driven his son to commit such
a brutal act of violence against Brenda.
I feel like she had more of a motive,
you know, as much as you are probably. I
don't really understand. I know that he
didn't he expressed to his mom that he
didn't want to live there either for
some reason. Yeah, that's what she was
telling me. She was just saying that he
needs to he need to get out. And you
said he had money problems. He lost his
job, lost his car and stuff. She
probably had a lot going on, right? Why
do you need to
Why? Uh
probably cuz she's come in the picture
and he's also feeling like, you know,
I'm being I'm more happy with her and
I'm not focused on him. 9 days after his
arrest, Robbie receives an update from
his mother about Brenda's condition and
he asks about his father's plans to
visit him in jail. She they had to do
surgery on her because of the fall and
they had to uh they had to put her into
a coma so they can do the skin grab.
He's there but he can't go in to see
her. She has to be isolated cuz her skin
she she she'll easily get bacteria and
all this other type of stuff which would
make her worse. Now ask him if she going
to visit. That's what I need to know.
That's a real important question. Ask
him if she's going to visit. I know he
did tell me the before I visited you
that uh last Sunday he told me that I
said hey I'm going to see little Robbie
see you we on the list or something he
said he couldn't come right now. What do
you mean? He just said he couldn't come.
He couldn't come see you. He needs to be
focused on her right now. What type of
what what type of reply is that? I said
you're not going to go up there. You
need to go up there and see him to show
you that we support him. He just said he
couldn't right now. A week later, Robbie
remains hopeful that he won't be behind
bars for long. Hey, listen. I don't want
none of y'all to come up here and see
me, man. The only time I want y'all to
see me is when I'm free. Tell everybody
in when I'm coming out. I'm conquering
the world. The whole world going to know
who I am. Okay, I'll tell them. I'm
going have a I'm I'mma have a whole
empire when I get out of here. I believe
it. Internet fans, you feel me? Yeah, I
hear you. Internet stands. However, his
case is further complicated on June 9th,
2023 when Brenda dies from her injuries
after surviving an agonizing 29 days,
turning the assault into a homicide. At
a court hearing a year later on June
24th, 2024, a judge rules that Robbie is
competent to stand trial, leading to an
unexpectedly volatile reaction. What
else can we address this afternoon,
council, if anything? I don't think
there's anything going on here for the
defense, your honor. All right. It's all
a trap, bro. It's all a trap. Ain't none
of this real. What are you talking
about, man? All trap. What are you
talking about? All conspiring against me
and everything, man. What are you
talking about? So, for the record,
they're all working with Satan right now
to talk to me, man. They're all
conspiring with them to talk to me, man.
Ain't none of going on, man. What are
you talking about? So, for the record,
ain't none of this going on. The
defendant is all is fake, man. All you
people want to work with the devil to
try to get me down, man. All inspiring
against me to take me out, man. What are
you talking
about? I'm not trying to hear none of
that. I ain't trying to hear none of
that. Okay. Are you finished now? No,
I'm not finished. I'm not done either.
I'm not trying to hear none of that. All
right. At the conclusion of his trial, a
jury found Robinson guilty of aggravated
murder, aggravated arson, and felonious
assault. Though his exact motives remain
unclear, at his sentencing hearing, he
stated in court, "I take responsibility
for my actions. I am sorry." And asked
that he be spared the death penalty. He
was sentenced to life imprisonment
without the possibility of parole. and
an appeal was filed on March 14th, 2025.
