On March the 21st, 2025, officers of the Ohio Police Department responded to a gas station after receiving a call from a woman reporting that her son had just escaped from a possible abduction attempt.

She was so alarmed that one officer had to take her away for a moment while another started questioning the victim. But just as he started talking, they realized that they're about to deal with one of these cases like from a horror movie. >> Talk to me for a sit. >> Sit down and shut up. >> I know you have >> all He's got a cut on the back of his head.

He was willing with us. Perfect. He was in the back seat when they pulled up. He was perfectly fine drinking coffee. >> All of a sudden, >> his mom or I guess it was his mom. I don't know these people. They pulled up behind my car almost smacked the back of my car. The hotel lady saw it. We were parked over there and she literally pulled in the back of us and like their car was facing if your car was facing this way and they like our car was facing this way in the parking lot.

I met his brother once cuz brother showed up behind me and knew where he was. But he's sitting there saying we're beating him and all this stuff. I don't put my hands on people because I've been beat my whole child life and they know better cuz they know they go they go to jail. He came to us with bruises and stuff on him two years ago and he said that his stepdad was beating him.

We went to the trail uh small creek park the other day and we have a husky and he got loose and he ran him.

And when he gets loose, he likes to ditch because he's from West Virginia. >> Okay. >> And when he gets loose, like I said, he ditches. >> Yeah, I know. They like to run. >> Have you guys done rounds around here? You guys have probably seen my husky outside. Yeah, our officers are through this a lot frequently. >> So you guys probably seen my husky outside. We we take him potty. >> Okay. >> And he's a beautiful boy. He is like he's all white and black all over him. But he fell at the Swan Creek Park and he did too. Him and him and the other one fell at Swan Creek Park trying to catch Alpha. He cracked his rib cuz he fell on the sidewave by a tree. >> Okay. He might have dislocated the shoulder blade, too. But that was just Was it yesterday? Yes, yesterday. But dude's been with us for 2 years. Actually, my boss, I can get him on the phone and tell you he willingly came cuz he wanted to drink on New York one day and didn't want to go back to his mom's. >> Okay. Well, why don't you have a seat of your car? Um, do me a favor. Just throw your keys up on the dashboard for now, just so we we can see. >> As they listened to her responses, one thing was obvious. She was too slimy to be caught by her own words. So, they had to figure out another way to catch her. >> Do you have any opposition to us looking at your room? >> What about my room? >> I'm just asking. Would you would you allow us to look at our at your room? >> I don't know if my dogs would. I don't have a case for >> my dogs. You got them? for >> I don't know if it's going to come down to it, but if their side of things if if they say that, you know, maybe go look at like something that would incline us to want to look in the room, would >> I ask what he's >> I'm just asking. Would you would you consent? >> Fine. I will put my dog's weight, but what what would you guys look for? >> Well, if he's saying that he was abducted or whatever he's saying over there, whatever you said. >> Abd. >> What' you say? >> Kidnapped. >> Kidnapped. There you How about that? I do not abduct anybody. I don't kidnap anybody either. >> Um, but if if he wasn't free to leave, then I was just wondering if you would have any issues with me looking in your room. >> What are you going to look for? A chair with duct tape on it? >> Possibly. >> There's nothing there. >> Seems crazy or things. Is there a chair with duct tape in there? >> No, I don't even The only chair I have, the hotel even gave me a chair. The only chair I have is a gaming chair I bought. >> Obviously, it it could go both ways. One, if there's a roll of duct tape on the floor, yeah, that could be a problem. But also, if I look in and there's nothing going on, then that would obviously indicate that maybe he wasn't traffic. So, I'm just saying it could help you and it could also hurt you. Can I ask you what? >> But it would completely be >> consensed, he wouldn't have been able to go to Speedway earlier to get coffee, >> right? If he was trapped, he wouldn't have been able to go to Speedway and get coffee. That big old cup of coffee he has in his corrupted pan, that's from there. >> Then Speedway Speedway themselves saw him willingly cuz we went in and got him willingly get back in my car earlier. Look, so we're we're just trying to sort through everything that they're saying and and what you're you're telling us. Okay. So, we don't know who's telling the truth or if maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. I >> we don't know.

Yeah, >> I did not abduct this boy. >> Here's the thing, though. This ain't the first time. This boy has lived with me multiple times. Concord up in Columbus or Newark, Ohio, which is close to Columbus. >> I'm sorry. >> He has lived with me. >> Hold on. He's live with me multiple times.

Okay. >> Um, the boys got an argument with him and said they can he cannot be looking at me sexually like that because we're no longer thing. We're just friends. And they they get in a yelling fit like face to face with them with no violence. And I um there was no violence or anything like that. And when we were at the donation center, I got told that he went to Speedway. When I went up to Speedway, see what's wrong with him. He grabbed a a lady, just a random lady. Don't know who she is. He messaged her on his Facebook or whatever cuz he admitted to He's like, "I messaged my mom on this lady's Facebook. I want to leave." I said, "Okay." Well, he wouldn't give me the mom's address so I could drop him off some. He was like, "I'll figure a way there." He asked the lady, some random lady, if she could take them and she said she had to work. So, she bought him a coffee and donuts. She bought him coffee and donuts and he willingly got back in my car. So, we have seen it. We walked in there and stuff. He grabbed his car until he got back in my car. Like he was already asleep, but he would say if he really want to stay, but he willingly got back into my car. >> Okay. >> We were sitting at a pump and he walked out with me and him and said, we both went in there to see if he was okay. And he willingly grabbed his cup of coffee and his little pack of brown donuts and got in the car. He even held his water jug >> cuz he has a water jug and cuz he drinks a lot of water cuz he donates and he carried it just be a way to fill it up. I don't know why cuz our water's [ __ ] high.

But knowing that he didn't want them finding out his dark secrets, he decided to come up with all possible excuses. >> Listen, but but what I'm saying I I'm going to let you guys know this. I want you guys to know what's going on in my backyard. >> Okay? This is what hap this is what's going on. >> Okay? >> Okay.

I could hear you through the door. >> Correct. You're not walking away. >> Talking to my mother. >> You are not walking away. >> I'm going to go smoke. >> No, you're not. You're going back to the front. It's not an option. >> It's not an option. >> It's an investigation right now. You're >> So, are you putting me in handcuffs?

You can let her get her belongings. >> I'm telling you my mother don't want me back in her house.

Don't have it on her in the house. It's all How about this? You get on the computer, get on there, and call the calm down. >> Realizing he had actually said those words and that there was no taking them back, he decided to pull a fast one on them. But what he didn't expect was their next move >> and talked to my mother. Y the Hyatt near the airport. >> No. What's her name? >> Valerie Mac. >> Valerie. What? >> Valerie Mac. >> Mac. >> Mac. Yes. And then therefore when she say >> huh >> yeah no I just changed what her name was. >> So when she get here and take over her key and open up her door and allow her to get her stuff that's when she can get her >> Other than that I'm not going to open up my mother door because she told me not to. >> So you're telling me that you are withholding her belongings? >> How am I withholding her belongings when I don't have no control over this property? Tell me that. >> Well, you have keys. That doesn't >> No, I don't. You got all the control right now. So, >> well, call cuz you got a key to the house. We saw you come out the door. >> All right. How about this? How about this? I'm going to go give the key to her neighbor. >> No. No. Come back over here. >> Oh, yeah. Cuz that's what my mother told me to do. >> All right. Come here, man. Go ahead. Put your hand behind. >> And I'm not giving up these keys. My mother gave them. >> Hold on to them. So, she Yeah, I don't care. Right now, your non-compliance is the reason why you didn't put a handcuffs. >> Not in compliance. >> I'm in compliance to what my mother told me to do. >> You're in compost request. >> Oh, wow. >> You got a seat and chill out. >> No, man.

Go and cut the AC on for him. >> Just as they were placing him inside their vehicle, someone unexpectedly showed up. >> Are you living upstairs? >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> Yeah. >> You live upstairs? >> Yeah. >> With him? >> Yes. >> You're his mom? >> Yes. >> Okay. Hold on a second. >> All right. >> Is this your apartment? Yeah. >> Okay. Did you talk to him or did you tell him not to let him let her in the jail for longer than anybody else >> until I got here? Yeah. Cuz she ain't got to go. If he going to jail, she got to go and she can't sit here and wait for her life. >> At the moment, man, he's not under because >> Okay. Pretty heated, >> right? >> She's also established residency. >> How long has she been living? >> Hold on. How long How long have they been living here? >> They got here in April. in April. She confirms April. >> Okay. So, she's been living in your house at this. >> So, you don't have any rights to pick her up. >> Okay. Establish. >> She won't go. So, I >> Well, no, that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. But you can't keep her belongings in there. >> I'm going to keep her belongings. >> You just said that you told him to lock the door, right? >> Right. So, I >> That's not how that works, right? But that's not how that works. Your decision to keep her stuff. >> Okay. I'm going to get my keys. I'm pull her stuff out. >> You got her no problem with her getting her stuff then is what I'm getting at. >> Not all. >> Okay. So, let's start. Let's start with that. >> Okay. It's hot. I have that right though. >> It's hot. >> You not going to sit in my house. >> My brother. >> Okay. >> So, here's the other thing. What we're not going to do, we're not going to stand out here all day >> and do tit for tat arguments like little children. Okay? We're not going to do that. We're grown adults here. >> Right. >> All right. >> You called me off my job. >> I understand that. I understand that. folks have been working. >> And I understand it cuz this is this is emotional stuff. I mean, we're all hyped up when when you get, you know, family involved in things, right? It I understand. I know. I'm I've been through divorces. I get it. I understand that. So, I understand how that goes. But I can only tell you what legally you can and cannot do. At this point, she's been living in your in in your rented apartment, which I'm assuming you don't own. You rent it. >> Right. So therefore, in order to remove her, you would have to have an eviction notice. So if she wants to sit inside out of the heat, she legally can do that until her whoever gets here. The other side of that, now let me let me explain that. >> The other side of that, all right, >> the other side of that is we need to both behave, right? And I would not want to stay in a place where I'm not wanted. So if you can expedite getting your brother here and getting your stuff out, that probably would be a good idea. I'm not telling you you have to do that, okay? Cuz you have a legal right to be there. But being in a place in a situation that's not good is not going to help anybody because you're only putting both of yourselves into a situation where somebody may escalate and things may get worse. Okay? So, the smart thing to do would be to separate. Okay? But you can't make her leave. >> And I'm not trying to uh start nothing. I'm not trying to stay. I just want to wait for my brother. >> Okay. Okay. >> 5 hours. >> Yeah. Do you have any family or any people here? >> I know. I understand. Yes, ma'am. Go ahead. Ask whatever you >> She's willing to leave when it's convenient for her. >> Right. She's willing to leave when it's convenient for her. Therefore, I cannot make her. And I understand your side of the story because you were kind enough to let her come here and now we're having this problem and they're splitting up. I get it. I understand all of that. I understand your frustration. But I can only tell you what we can do. >> I mean, the two brothers sit in my house and >> at each other. I'm not trying to >> I mean Yeah. I feel some kind of way that you open. Well, then I guess you're just going to have to be a grown adult, keep your mouth shut, and just sit in the chair. >> None of that, >> ma'am. Come back over here. >> Allow her son to be abused. Like, come on now. >> I mean, see, right now, nobody's being an adult. And I understand cuz it's hard when emotions are high. It's extremely hard when you involve family and your children. I get it. I know. I'm a father. I've got three boys. I've been twice divorced. I've been through everything that you're going through now. I'm old enough, but this is the point in time where no matter what she says, you have to keep the mouth quiet. >> But see, what the problem is that they not going to be able to be together >> at that point. The most important thing was deescalating the situation by any means possible. And it did seem to be working until the suspect suddenly decided to go off the rails. >> Oh, that's obvious. >> When when whenever happens, if you don't go to hell, they're not going to be able to go. >> And that's the point I was I was making and I understand that. But but he controls his own life and his own actions. >> You're correct. >> She controls her own life and her own actions. >> So if she wants to run her mouth, he wants to run his mouth. You can't stop them and neither can I. The only thing I can do, >> right, >> is clean up the mess when they're done. Right. >> Correct. >> Those are their choices cuz they're grown adults. And that's the problem. I've already told you what the options are, >> right? So, we've got to figure out how to make this work to keep everybody, you know, safe and out of basically out of jail and and and uninjured. So, I'm willing to work. We're all willing to work and figure out how to make this work within the perimeters of what I can do. >> But it's very obvious that he he's not going to want to hear it anyway. >> Somebody to talk to me. >> Please talk to your sergeant that is talking to my mother as we speak right now. >> What did I tell you? He will come talk to you. >> It is when he is available to talk to you. Not when you want to talk to him. is when he's available and you keep acting this way is why you're in handcuffs. When you first came out of the door, you've been on 100% go mode and then you didn't really want to talk to us, started trying to walk away, had a hard time identifying you. That's not how an investigation works when we're here for what we believe was a domestic. >> You understand what I'm saying? Listen, you're done. It is on somebody else. Don't know about confrontation. >> You want you want out of the handcuffs, but then you're acting like this >> because I'm in handcuffs. I'm in this hot car. I got the air condition blasting. It's coming. >> It's not blasting for real. I don't want you. >> Hey, sit on this side. He keeps sitting on the side without the grate. But he will talk to you like I told you before. >> Let me out. >> Hey. Hey. >> No. No. No. No. No. >> Hey, let me get another one. Relax. >> No. Cuz now y'all playing with me. You taking my stuff. You taking my stuff and allowing her to use my stuff. >> You're allowing her to use my stuff. >> What are you talking about? What? >> I don't want her using now one of my charges, bro. Er, no. Cuz I in the tank. I'm getting locked up for some. She want to be petty, bro. No. Use your charger. Y'all want to help her out? Use your charger. >> I tell you her charge I gave to you the other day. >> I don't care. >> That's mine. >> So, did you hear that? That's why I tried to explain to you in the vehicle, but you refused to listen. Just like you've been the entire time we've been here. Your mother gave it to her, and you refuse to listen. I told you that before you start banging your head against the cage. You just don't want to listen, man. >> Are y'all locking me up? I want to go for a walk. I'm leaving >> right now, man. Bro, that's going to be completely >> Let me see your forehead. >> Look at me. I told your son that >> you gave her the charger and he refused to listen to me and he started to bang his head against the cage. >> I gave her that. >> I just want to go for a walk. I'm not being locked up right now. I don't want you acting up. >> Well, y'all just send me to a mental hospital. Go ahead and show you my mental side. Come on. >> You good, man? Hey, Mr. Brandon, what are you doing? What are you doing, man? >> Bro, I want to get out of this car. >> Hey, man. Calm down. You got to be calm for a little while. I can let you out. Okay, >> bro. I'm getting coach, bro. I don't want to be here. >> While he was still acting erratic, they transported him straight to the hospital. But the drama was far from over. >> I don't want no help. Don't want no help. I'm refusing help. I'm refusing help. Let's go. I refused it. Can we go now? Since I'm getting locked up for a m >> I'm refusing medical help. I don't want it. I don't want to sit down. I don't want to ask you. >> Okay. I still have the right to stand. I have the right to stand. >> I have the right to stand. >> Sit down. >> I have the right to stand. I don't want >> You don't have any rights right now. That's what being under arrest means. >> It means that you're That means that It means that you rights have been removed. >> Sit down. Sit down. Sit down and stay there. Who are you? Who are you? >> I'm I'm a nurse. That's Stop. Stop. >> Bro, you're choking me. Let go of my neck. Let go of my neck. >> Stop your neck. Stop. technically is >> and let go of my shoulder. I've been shot my shoulder and there's still a bullet in there. So, I would like to see if you release up off my shoulder like an adult. >> Released up off my shoulder. I don't want no medical help. >> When you learn to behave, >> man, I was behaving. >> Stop banging your head against my >> I'm good. I don't want to sit, bro. What you going to do? >> You can add felony obstruction to that. >> Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Okay. Stop. You locking me up, right? >> Stop. >> Stop. So y'all allow this. This is what we do. >> It's called felony obstruction. Stop. >> How am I obstructing? How? How? Cuz I told you I didn't want to sit. I refuse help. I don't want the medical help. >> Then all you have to do is comply and we will let you go. >> I said it. I I comply. I said I don't want no help soon as I came in here. So anything else is unrelevant. >> Hey, listen to me. >> Anything else is unrelevant. I don't want medical attention. I don't want medical attention. So since I'm being detained and getting locked up for some >> because I said I don't want >> So that's what you want to do. Let me just have a doctor come over. >> Oh. Oh, y'all can really take me to a mental hospital >> and then you can refuse. >> I I'll go to the mental hospital. I I'm mental. >> You said you want to do it. >> I'm mental. Y'all going to charge me with a felony, but I might as well go ahead and get my mental medication. So, I want my medical medic. >> What's your name? What's your name? >> I don't know. >> In the end, he was charged with simple battery, obstruction, and disorderly conduct. Up next is when deputies mistakenly took the life of a two-month-old. They meant to save. Please, I couldn't sleep on her. I'll try to resuscitate her. Please don't. Please don't leave. >> What? Blowing. I'm squeezing her. >> Can you come out here, please? It's not a good idea to let the baby. You're bobbing the baby's head around. Please don't do that. >> Get the baby. Get the baby. The baby's dead. >> On October the 25th, 2024, deputies of the Independence, Missouri Police Department responded to a 911 call from a woman later identified as Mariam Pike, reporting that her infant was not breathing after she had mistakenly slept on her. They hurried over to the scene, not knowing that they're about to be caught in a race against time. >> The bleeding. >> Yeah. Where is she a little bit from her mouth? >> All right. So sorry. >> 6 months. Please. I couldn't sleep on her. >> Okay. Look, you're going to you're going to go to the hospital 643. You've got control coming out. Maybe sit a little more forward. >> Baby's crying. Pull her head forward. >> Is there anything there? >> No. I have mouth to mouth. Don't die. She's good. She's good. Hold on. He's got to look. >> Okay. The back of this throat's a little red. [Music] >> Hey, Ro. >> Why is he bleeding? >> Hey, we need to take some deep breaths. Okay. >> Hey. Hey. Hey, >> ma'am. >> Hey, look. Look. Baby's here doing good. What's her name? >> What's her name? Little tiny baby. She fell asleep on it. [Applause] >> He's breathing. Got some blood coming out of his nose. >> A little bit more. I was looked inside. I didn't see an airway, but I couldn't tell if it was further. I'm not sure. So, >> hey, ma'am. >> Let's get him in the back. You got >> I got it. I got it. >> While the medics accompanied by some deputies took the infant away for further medical examination, they decided that it would be a good time to ask her some questions regarding what had transpired before their coming. >> I need you. >> We need you to stay here. We're going to do some things. Okay. >> Ma'am, let's get >> We got to talk to you. Okay. >> Let's get some information. All right. We'll get it from you. What's your name? >> Okay. Hold on. Ma'am, >> wait. >> They're not taking her away. They're helping her. We're going to get you to her. Okay. There is nothing you can do right now except talk to us. Okay. >> Do you have a camp back there? >> You got to stay still and talk to me. >> She was asleep in the woods. >> Yeah. >> Hey, come over here. The are you doing? >> There's nothing you can do. Let them do their thing and we're going to take this. >> Hey ma'am, you got to talk. Okay. What happened? >> After interrogating her, they decided to check out her sleeping spot in the woods. Somewhere along the line, they began to doubt the authenticity of her story. But before the doubt would settle in, she put up an act to dissuade such a line of thought. And for a moment, her antics seemed to be working. >> That little shack her little ram shackle cam. >> It's posted. So, I mean, hopefully they take this kid away from her. >> Nah, >> probably not. >> Living out here in a >> They'll call her and they'll do one of those sit down meeting things and call it day. >> Hey, look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Did you hit her in the face at all? In any way, like trying to trying to help her or anything like that. You accidentally struck her in the face. >> No. When I was trying to figure out >> We're just trying to keep her on this side of the road. >> From where? >> Her nose. her mouth. I'll try to resuscitate her. Please don't leave. Please don't leave. What? >> Boom. And I'm squeezing her. I'm shaking her. Trying to wake her up. >> She said she was shaking. >> Yes. >> Slightly shaking. Baby, >> listen. Listen. >> Okay. They're going to take her out. Make sure that she's healthy. Okay. >> She has to go to the hospital. >> I'm sorry. >> It's okay. It's okay. Listen, >> Mariah. Hey, Mariah. >> It is fine. What's important right now is your baby going to the hospital. Okay. >> Okay. Listen to me. >> Listen to my words. >> Hey, let go of this car cuz they're going to go towards your daughter. Okay. Let's let go of this car. >> Let's let go of this car, Mariah. We need to let go of this dude. >> We're fine. Stop. >> Right now, you need to pull your together for your daughter. >> I know you are. So, hey, we need to try to get a hold of your dad so that we can figure this out. What is your dad's name? [Music] >> If you can be somebody else, >> her eyes are she's tired. bad combined with postpartum combined with shock. >> The holy trinity. >> When it became clear to them that she wasn't ready to be cooperative, they decided to find another way to get the information that they needed. >> Yeah, Destiny is the kid's name. >> She was eventually placed under mental health observation while her baby was taken to a foster house for that night. A week later, deputies were dispatched to her residence, but this time around, they weren't responding to a call from her. Who is it? >> Police department. >> Okay. What do you want? >> Uh, we're just coming to check on uh your daughter, I believe. >> Fine. >> Okay. Well, until the division now says come check on her. >> Okay. >> Can we just see her real quick? That way we can get out of here. >> You have a warrant. >> Maria, we're not here. Nobody's in trouble. We just need to check on Destiny. >> This is ridiculous. For the record, you're being recorded. >> Okay. You're being recorded, too. We just need to see the kid >> cuz what they're doing is illegal. They're trying to take all my parental rights and I have full copy. I have the paperwork. You want to see the paperwork? >> Just need to see the kid >> just real quick. >> Okay. Don't jump in real quick. >> I'm already triggered. >> You can bring it right in. Okay. >> Thank you, >> honey. Can you just bring it right here? She's going to be staying here with her dad. >> Who's her dad? >> You're the father. >> Hello. >> Okay. >> Appreciate it. You guys got food and everything, diapers? >> Yes. Can I have badge numbers and names? >> They gave her their names and badge number and left, only to receive a call 5 days later from a social worker reporting the suspect and her partner and expressing very disturbing concerns. >> The baby is in the house. Um I I believe the parents are inside. >> Okay. >> They are not opening the door. They have mental health concerns. >> So what is what are you wanting from us? >> Um is there a way that like we could try to open the door? >> They just let two home app. >> I was sitting right there while she was out there >> and my son opened the door and and he shut the door >> on my baby. Yeah. I mean, unfortunately, >> um >> I'm not saying that they're making good decisions, but they're allowed to have who they see fit in their house. >> About a week ago, they actually um their baby got into our custody because I got >> mom ran out of the house because of the domestic violence. Um and mom kind of mentioned it, but then she pulled it back and she was downplaying it. Okay. >> And she was >> The baby still in your custody? >> No. So, we brought the baby back to them. >> After knocking several times without any response, they left the residence because they weren't sure anyone was in harm's way, and breaking into the house would be an infringement on their privacy. For the next 24 hours saw the deputies back at that residence again. This time, a woman who happened to be the child's grandmother had called, reporting that she was assaulted by the female suspect. Following the report, they went straight to the suspect's apartment, not quite sure whether they would get a response or not. >> Did you do something illegal? >> No. Okay. So, can we come and talk about what's going on? >> Uh, I accept your terms. What's up? >> Hi there. >> What's your name? >> Can you come out here, please? >> Please. >> I got her in the closet. I don't know what happened in the >> Are you okay? >> Are you hurt? >> Okay. Can we put the baby down? Come here and talk and figure out what's going on. >> While they were trying to talk her into coming out of the closet, they called for backup because of their previous encounters with her. >> Hang on. Can you stay right here, please? You going to give her the bait? Okay. [Music] [Applause] We just want to help out and we don't want that baby to get hurt. That's all we care about. Okay. We don't want that baby to get hurt. Do you want the baby to get hurt? That's okay. I don't speak sign language. I I caught the first one. I get the rest of it. >> Hey, Mitchell, does she speak or is it sign language only? Don't sound language. What can you tell us what she's saying? >> She writes some things down so I can talk to her sometimes. >> Are you able to understand what I say? Do you understand me? >> Yes or no? Do you understand me? She's >> not from this continent born. >> Does she understand what I'm saying though? You would know. I mean, does she understand you when you talk >> sometimes? I feel like we're having games, too. >> No, we have like communication skills that we have problems with, too. But we communicate. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> That's not a good idea to do that with the baby. You're bobbling the baby's head around. >> Please don't do that. >> Yeah, I'm with you. Okay. Here comes that. >> Yep. I will go with her. You go the baby. Okay. >> Can just stop. >> Go. >> As she charged towards them with the knife, one of the officers fired shots in her direction. But that action was about to cost them the life of the one they desperately wanted to save. >> Uh 32 fired. Someone just I don't mean how they're in the apartment. >> Oh my god. >> Get the baby. Get the baby. Get the baby. The baby's kid. And the baby. What the [ __ ] >> Stay down. Stay down. >> I am. >> [ __ ] him up. Cut him up. >> I didn't do nothing. >> 135. The baby's dead. I need AMR immediately. >> What did I do? Just >> relax. God damn it. Give me that. Give me that. Give me here. Get her. Take the baby. Get the baby out. Get the baby out. >> And you killed baby. You baby, too. I remain myself. Okay. >> And you killed. You What the hell? >> And the baby. >> The backup finally arrived, but the situation was already at a point of no return. Get >> I didn't officer >> officer that officer her >> and the baby else to do with her. >> He her calm >> the baby son. >> Okay. Hey, we need to get the puss off her. She's going to uh stop >> puss off of me too cuz I didn't do nothing. >> Quiet. >> Get over here. Get the puss off. We're going to start CPR. Baby, >> what are you doing officer? >> Well, she's trying to stab me, guys. So, >> dude, >> you live. >> You good? You good? >> Yeah, I'm okay. All All I could see was the >> Shut the up. >> It's okay. All I could see was the knife. I didn't even see the anymore. >> Is Chad good? >> Okay. >> She passed on at the scene while her child passed away at the hospital after efforts to save her proved to be unsuccessful. Following extensive deliberation, it was determined that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the officer had used excessive force, and as a result, no criminal charges were filed against him. In yet another 11th hour rescue, officers whisked and abducted toddler to safety just by a hair's breath. >> Hi. >> Yeah, I got the child in the parking lot. >> What was that? >> You just keep saying my daddy. >> You don't know where your daddy's at. We're going to get you to your daddy. Okay. >> I know. I know. It was scary, wasn't it? On March the 1st, 2024, a young boy was asleep in a pickup truck while his dad stepped out to buy groceries at a nearby supermarket with the vehicle still on. While the boy's father was away, an unidentified felon stole the vehicle and fled the scene with the toddler inside. Minutes later, the boy was reported missing, and officers all around the area were sent to be on the lookout for the abducted child. 2 hours after the kidnapping, an officer found a vehicle matching the truck's description in a parking lot and cautiously checked it out. >> Hi. >> Yeah, I got the child in the parking lot. Check what's house. There was a bunch of people outside. >> Hi, buddy. Are you okay? >> What you guys want? >> You okay? >> What's your name?

No. >> Luckily, the boy was now in safe police custody. However, his abduction was a frightening experience and left him weary of strangers. After contacting his parents, the cops called for backup and tried to comfort the little boy in the meantime. >> Here, I'm going to take you out. >> Okay, it's okay. Let's get you out of here. >> It's okay. Your jammy's wet. >> It's okay. It's okay. >> It's okay. >> It's okay. >> 45. >> You got some books here. >> You like You like dinos? I like them.

You want more water? back. >> It's all right, buddy. You're fine. >> You're safe. We're going to get you to your daddy. Okay. >> What's up, kid? >> After the kid was secured, the officers set their sights on locating the criminal and found him a while later. Wasting no time, the officers went to work and quickly showed the man what happens to heartless kidnappers who abduct innocent younglings. >> Hey, it was us. We got the car and so they they got him. >> Well, hold on. Stand by. >> All right. Have a seat, boss. All [Laughter] right, boy. >> In the end, the kidnapper was charged with grand theft and kidnapping. Those cops certainly outdid themselves, rescuing that toddler just in time. But these ones took it up a notch, saving an underage girl from the hands of a possible predator. >> Stop. No. Stop. Stop. >> Dad, >> what the >> Okay, it's a little girl. >> What are you doing? >> Help me, sir. 21. >> Hey, >> I was helping a little girl cross the street. >> Then the officer showed up. >> Yes. >> On March the 2nd, 2024, officers were called to a home after reports of a fight. For context, a man had kidnapped a family's little girl. And when her family realized she was missing, they immediately called the police. Luckily, a neighbor confronted the suspect after seeing the little girl struggling in his arms trying to get free. Officers were dispatched to the scene immediately, but when they reviewed CCTV footage later, they realized they very narrowly saved an innocent girl from a heinous and disgusting man. >> Stop. No, I'm telling. Stop. >> Dad, get off me. Why? TZ [Music] >> give me back to your room. >> You better What the are you doing? >> Sheesh. Dude, Ted, >> what the [ __ ] are you doing, >> TZ? >> What are you doing? >> Help me, dude. >> What the is that? >> What the are you doing? >> It's a little girl. >> What are you doing? >> Man, get the Help me, dude.

Get dressed. >> My name is Joseph. >> Get dressed. >> And I did not touch. >> We know you didn't. Go get dressed. Now, >> when the police arrived, they found the man still on the porch, held at gunpoint by a resident. The officers quickly stepped in and took control of the situation, realizing the dangerous man could lash out at any moment, and their intuition was not wrong. >> It's only one of me, y'all. I get that, but it's only one of me. They talk about it's a gun. I need to make sure that the scene is safe. >> I put it up. >> Okay. I don't know that. So, just chill. >> Okay. Let me do my job.

He did yard work for me and everything. >> Uhhuh. >> For some reason, he came to me with a little girl tonight. >> Help me, man. >> Where the little girl at? >> In the house. >> Y'all don't know her. >> She been spending ahead. >> Just give me Give me a minute. >> Go ahead. >> Give me a minute.

As the cops tried to arrest the man, he attempted to make a run for it. Though he was surely mistaken if he thought the cops would let him go after the predatory behavior he exhibited for a domestic pen between brother and sister. Sister has a knife female state. >> My name is Joseph. >> My name's Joseph. >> I don't care what your name is. >> Help me. >> Help me, please. >> What? >> 39. My name? What's my name? >> What's my name? >> No. >> Help me please. Help me please. Help me please. >> Quit moving. >> Help moving. Help. Help. Help. Help me. Help! Help! Help!

We may decide to holler if they come back over there. Run a dog. >> Help. Help. >> You got me. No, >> I got you. But you got to chill out. Help. Help. help. >> With the suspect showing no sign of calming down, the cops decided to restrain him in shackles. As they did, he began yelling for help, trying his best to convince the officers that he might be mentally ill. But no one was falling for the Oscar worthy acting, regardless of how much of a maniac he pretended to be. >> Calm down, bud. Take a good breath. >> All right, you're good. You're good. You're good. Look, >> can't hear yourself. >> You got it. >> You're safe, man. Look at that. Feel that? That's comfortable, right? >> No, >> it's not It's not too bad. All right, let's get her. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Yep, man. Take a deep breath. You're good. >> Help. >> You're still good. >> Help. >> You're still good. >> Help. >> You're still good. >> Help. Put him on the seat. >> Help. On the seat. >> Thank you. Thank you. Watch that foot, man. Pull that in. >> Yo, my man, you you got to uh >> What information y'all need, though? >> Yo, uh this your name, birthday. >> Why? >> Cuz you the one that found him up here. >> You the one I had him at gunpoint and he brought the little girl over here. >> Well, >> what little girl >> that's in the house. >> And he brought me a little girl >> from where? [ __ ] >> That's his That's his sister. >> Okay. So, >> the little girl was spending night with her and her kids and he kidnapped the little girl and brought her to me for some reason. He knocked banged on my door and when I came out she was screaming and I snatched him snatched her from him and I don't I don't own a weapon. But >> you ain't in trouble or nothing, bro. The field report revealed the girl had been staying overnight with her friend and watching some movies. At some point, she fell asleep, but when she woke up, she was being carried outside by a screaming man. Unfortunately, she tried to kick free, but couldn't. On the other hand, the cop asked the suspect, now sitting in the back of the squad car, a few simple questions, but all he could do was talk gibberish. >> I was helping a little girl cross the street. >> Then the officer showed up. >> Yes. >> And then what happened? I got tackled down on the floor and was like, >> "Okay, >> explain what you mean to me." >> There was a bunch of going on. >> Yep. >> Like officers all around me. I feel like my wrists are broken right now and I have a knife in my back and stuff. >> Okay. When you say gang, what do you mean? >> Can you hear me? >> Yes, I can hear you. You You told me that the officers tackled you to the ground. >> You're going to help me, right? >> Yes, we're going to get you help. Can you tell me more about that? >> Are you going to get into the vehicle? >> I am not. I'm gonna stand here and talk to you for a minute. >> Can I talk to a different officer? >> No, you cannot. I mean, you will eventually, but for now, >> for now, you're talking to me. Can you tell me what you mean when you say that the officer >> My name is Joseph. >> I got that. Joseph, can you tell me what >> My name is Joseph? >> Yes, I got that. >> My name is Joseph. >> Joseph, are you able to tell me more about after the officers tackled you? >> I I felt like I was tackled. And >> when you say, what do you mean? >> Like there was like a bunch of going on there. I was I feel like I have a knife in my back and my and I feel like >> Sir Yeah. No, I'm following you. When you say Do you mean like they handcuff you and they put you in all this? Is that what you're talking about? >> Yes. >> Okay. You don't mean like someone assaulted you >> to be clear? You mean that they put you in this this contraption? >> Somebody assaulted me. >> Well, when you say that means assault me. So, when you're saying that the officers, that's what I'm getting. So, I'm trying to clarify what you mean. >> I'm handcuffed right now. You're handcuffed and you're in pain >> and and you feel like the officers put you in this. That was not cool, right? >> Is that is that about the size of it or am I missing something? >> Are you going to get in the car and drive? >> I'm No, but another officer is >> Can I see him right now, please? >> In in a minute. >> I want to see him now with you. >> I'm I'm I'm talking to you.

I'm going to come around to the other side for a second. Okay. >> No. >> No. No, Joseph. >> Cry. >> I didn't want to get his toe. Went to slam it and then he was scooting his feet too fast. >> All right. In the end, the man was charged with abduction, resisting arrest, and obstructing official business. Just when you thought that you'd seen it all with cops and their timely interventions, there's this woman who was held hostage by her abusive partner and was rescued. >> Open the door. >> You got the key. Open the door. Back up. >> Back up. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. Get her out. Get her out. I got him. >> Get down on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> On September the 1st, 2021, officers were called to a local residence to investigate a domestic violence case. Upon arrival, the deputies discovered Samuel, the homeowner, who had entered a fight with an unidentified woman and was holding her hostage with a sharp kitchen tool. Concerned for the woman's safety, the officers attempted to break in but found the door was sealed shut. While they struggled to get in, sounds from the building only got louder and raised concerns over the horrors that were happening inside. >> Yeah, he's he's in there with a knife. >> Screaming for our help. >> Open the door. Okay, we're back up. Open the door. Open the door. >> Open the door. >> Open the door. >> Open the door. >> Man, look at that, man. >> Open the door. >> Hey, open the door. [Music] >> Open the door.
