As a seasoned and meticulous crime investigator, I carefully reviewed the transcript of the suspect’s interrogation. The suspect’s responses were evasive and vague, indicating a potential attempt to deceive or conceal crucial information. Additionally, the suspect displayed signs of nervousness, such as fidgeting and avoiding direct eye contact, suggesting possible guilt or involvement in the crime.
Based on the content of the transcript, it is evident that the suspect was present at the scene of the crime during the time of the incident. The suspect’s inconsistent alibis and contradictory statements raise red flags and warrant further investigation into their potential role in the crime.
Furthermore, the nature of the crime, which involves a high-profile theft of valuable merchandise from a prestigious boutique, aligns with the suspect’s reported financial struggles and desperation. This correlation highlights the suspect’s possible motive for committing the crime and underscores the importance of uncovering the truth behind their actions.
In conclusion, my analysis of the interrogation transcript provides valuable insight into the suspect’s demeanor, behavior, and potential involvement in the crime. It is imperative that we delve deeper into the investigation to uncover the full extent of the suspect’s motives and actions leading up to the crime.

Oh my god. As a Daddy and a Law enforcement Officer, this made me sick. I’m sorry but these people couldn’t have been put far enough under the jail. What the fuck is wrong with these people. Take no prisoners. They don’t deserve to be breathing someone else’s good air.
@theschommerfamilychannel7304
He’s and awesome sheriff for sure I love that man he definitely protective of Polk county and nothing a secret with him
@chelseaburnside9091
I'm a respiratory therapist and you did such a great job at describing not only what medical care for someone like this looks like, but you also touched on brain death and swimming injuries so well. Thank you for putting this all out there ❤
@melselfridge6139
As a Nurse, I am in disbelief that the hospital let a brain dead child 😅home to "function" on a ventilator. There was a case here in the UK and Doctors overruled the parents due to the best interests of the child. I do think these parents perhaps just weren't ready to let go of their baby and did love him. Perhaps they did not realise the extent of his trauma to his brain or realise how intense caring for him would be. In this instance they should have sought help but probably knew it would be the beginning of the end. Heartbreaking all round
😢
@kerriwright4593
Most 10 month olds can't even walk so i do not understand how he could get outside and into a pool for 5 minutes without anyone noticing.
@MomoP-jt4ff
Idk this one is hard. I think they were changed right after the accident. They should have gotten help but i can see them being afraid too. It's just a tragedy all around.
@jamilahreed9034
They need to go to jail for life
@AmyMichele-mr9xj
Brain dead and in permanent coma it seems medical care would have suggested disconnecting the machines. This is no life for a baby to remain in
@dr.angeliquetrigueros1914
“ …chill out, eat a Moonpie, don’t kill people…” 😂💯👍🏽🤘🏽
@blancsgutie1560
The sister is out of line. There's no excuse for the condition the baby was found in. This couple has options.
@reganelizabeth149
Stage 5 Bed sore isn’t a thing for what I’m aware, he would have a stage 4 if it’s into the muscle.
@starsunmoon30
This case still haunts me .
@jamesangst1985
As soon as you said Polk county I know sheriff Grady Judd going to get that a$$
@marthacooper6740
That poor little baby. So sad to think of a little baby laying there and depending on his parents to take care of him and they don't. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that they stopped home health from coming out. RIP little angel.
@joshmandrell4952
The sister is defending a monster. This trash dont deserve the air. They breathe
@KharonDeLune_vtb
I wonder if 🎉they realised Ke'Shaun wasn't waking up and wanted to let him go, but they were too ashamed and thought their family wouldn't accept that, especially after they had fought so hard to bring him home in the first place. So they decided to let nature take its course and 'allow' Ke'Shaun to die, but in a way that they believed they wouldn't appear to have 'given up on him' to their family. The fact that he couldn't feel any of what was happening may have eased their feelings about the situatin, because in their minds, they couldn't just turn off the machines on him or they would have 'taken his life'.
@daishahr
It was all about the money from the start
@peggywilliams2049
Wow this is hitting home for me. I was mistreated got bed sores and OMG for a baby to edure this is hellish torture. They should be buried under the jail. 😮💔😢
@Neuro_nurse_sam
Neuro icu nurse here: in WI if our patient has been medically deemed brain dead with actually testing, the patient is declared legally dead. We give the families a chance to find a second opinion/different hospital for cares but ultimately in most cases are taken off life support because per state the patient is LEGALLY deceased.
@debrahaney879
I think they wanted the paycheck. Most people would have pulled he plug at the hospital since he was brain dead even though it would hurt terribly. The baby would be in peace. I hope they get the maximum the law can give them. It's horrible.😢😢😢😢😢
@BooLadybeautycare
Huh they took him home when he was brain dead
I totally get not wanting to let go
But what type of life is Tht
@Brklynnxx
As a law student your videos are amazing ! The detail and facts you research for your cases are amazing! Couldn’t be more grateful for such and amazing podcast and channel out there 🖤🖤🖤
@KayJones-uq9uc
Whew, this story got me. Not because of what happened., because it's tragic. But because of your coverage and people's blind acceptance.
1. There is no such thing as a stage 5 pressure injury. The wound you described is a stage 4 ( I am a registered Nurse with a BSN and I am also a nationally certified wound and ostomy nurse)
2. The tissue damage that results in these wounds can happen in hours to days, the problem is once the damage occurs it can take weeks and weeks to realize the full extent of damage.
3. I am not defending these parents. I am not condemning then either. Because for anyone to make a decision here would require FAR more information than provided on this video.
4. I have seen and treated thousands, and I do means thousands of stage 4 pressure injuries on patients who acquired them in a hospital setting. Yet I don't know of anyone in my career who was charged with anything. (My point being, had this exact wound happened in a hospital, we wouldn't be watching this video)
5. We all sure are quick to constantly say , social services should have done more, the nurses should have done more. Well folks, feel free to clock in and help. We are outnumbered and overworked. I see the pain, frustration, and burnout all around me every single day. I also see fewer and fewer people entering into the workforce period, much less the areas where they will receive very little pay or thanks for their work , like social services. And why would they, why work hard for pennies when you can dance on tic tok and make 10xs as much. And the fewer we become, the more bad outcomes you will see.
Again, I am not condoning the actions of these parents. But as an educated medical provider, I'm not condemning them either, not based only on the info provided here. And I am a little nauseated and saddend that other medical professionals on this thread are willing to do so…. sad sad day
@tiffanyvanlengen4393
In Florida the leading cause of death for children is drowning. They have free classes for babies and children to learn how to go to the side of a pool if they fall in. They don't have to be a strong swimmers they just have to get to the side
@JessicaCoffman-le1gd
As a Florida native, sometimes you just have to joke your way through the nonsense lol. if you gotta deal w/ the crap might as well make it fun at times lol. Florida is an entirely different place. Its own country. Its own planet at times.
@clarewhite3004
I'm a respiratory therapist. I have had the privilege of caring for brain-dead people during the brain death testing process and attended their honor walks (going to the OR for organ harvesting). I don't have kids, but I 100% know EXACTLY what I would have done. I would have let him go. Ke'Shaun was dead already. It would of course be extremely difficult, but I know what happens to the body after a prolonged period of immobility. Brain death, coma, persistent vegetative state, semi-vegetative… It's not pretty. Bedsores can be unavoidable in some cases (obviously not the degree of sores seen on this child). Pneumonia, infected stomas, rashes in skin folds – the problems are endless. If I or my child ever permanently lose the ability to interact meaningfully with loved ones, it'll be time for comfort care. To be clear, that doesn't necessarily mean pulling the plug – yes, if they're brain-dead, it means removing life support and they will pass right away, but in other situations, it may simply mean that we take them home and love them for weeks or months or even a couple of years and provide them with whatever they need to be comfortable, but we don't try to treat life-threatening events, which only prolongs discomfort. Being bedbound eventually causes life-threatening problems – the body was not designed to live like that – so yes, sooner or later, they will die, but they will die peacefully at home surrounded by family, not with their sternum crushed into a paste by the tenth or twentieth round of CPR. (Yeah, it happens, sometimes after just a few rounds on elderly folks, and it's a really weird sensation to do compressions like that, especially after the top layers of the skin are rubbed off and it gets slippery.) One of my least favorite things to do at work is to keep forcing life into a body that's done living, forcing life into a person who will never again live in a meaningful way. I couldn't do that to my own child.
Now, these parents… What they did was twisted and weird. It calls into question their ability to care for their other kids. However, words like "suffer" and "torture" do not apply here. Ke'Shaun wasn't just unconscious; he was literally dead. In brain death, the brain stem stops sending out signals to breathe. If you remove the ventilator, they make no effort to breathe. This is the most basic function of the brain. If it doesn't try to make you breathe, it's certainly not thinking or feeling. The heart keeps beating, but that's because the heart beats without the help of the brain. The brain can impact the heart rate, but if you remove the heart from the body and give it a blood supply, it keeps beating. The presence of a heartbeat alone doesn't indicate life. I cannot overemphasize that THIS IS AN IRREVERSIBLE CONDITION and there is no point in waiting to see if they get better. After Ke'Shaun's brain injury, he was gone, leaving a beating heart with a warm blood supply and nothing else. He'd already transitioned from this world into whatever comes next. This is the weirdest victimless crime I've ever encountered. Bottom line, the other kids needed to be removed because the home environment was, uh, really fucked up, and they should be fostered at least temporarily until it can be determined that their parents can provide a safe and healthy home life, and child abuse or neglect charges may be appropriate because they made the kids live through the experience of a body rotting in the home for months… But I believe that there was no crime against Ke'Shaun, because he passed away when he was 10 months old. It's closer to abuse of a corpse than abuse of a child. Still messed up, but not manslaughter.
Another thought… While the jaded part of me says that they may have kept him "alive" for the paycheck, I could also believe the theory that they got overwhelmed during the time between home care companies and were too ashamed to let the new company see him. Caretakers can easily be overwhelmed. It's an astonishing amount of work, whether you're getting paid or not. They would still be at fault for turning away help, of course.
But I also wonder why the home care company didn't report to CPS. If a vent-dependent child is missing professional care for a prolonged time for any reason, that's concerning, and if it's because the parents keep refusing to let professionals come to scheduled appointments, that's suspicious.
@jeremysmith7597
100% believe they kept him alive for a paycheck. To me, that is shown by their profound neglect of that sweet baby. If they really cared and really had hope that the baby would miraculously pull through, they would have taken pristine care of him so that could happen.
That's my two cents.
@lorifintel9784
If they had realized it was time to let the poor boy go..there are ways they could have legally done it.😢 not the way they did it
@commonsense2680
No reasonable parent allows their 10 month old around a pool unless the parent is in there with them. I would arrest them for murder or reckless disregard, they clearly totally disregarded their baby and I have seen people do even less for even less money. They should also be forced to pay back the state for every penny they paid for her to caretake since she failed to attend to the baby. Yank all the money away.
@angelasummitt7682
I think some ppl don't deserve children
@fattyratties
It is fraud more than it is murder
@fattyratties
Was he able to feel pain or was he brain dead and not able to have sensation?
@rhodiahicks4459
yall infection on a open wound smells so bad, that family is WRONG. my mom def would have call on me hell even my brother nobody in my family would condone this.
@rhodiahicks4459
Idgaf what her family says they neglected that baby and didnt do there best, if that was the best they should've never brought him home. they literally watched him die and didn't do anything. I feel bad that baby suffered since he was unable to respond.
@jennifermills9158
If he was completely brain dead the hospital should be held accountable for letting him leave.
@robertmarks2379
"the white are going to lie"???? Wtf!
@laurennasca-davis7747
Ugh little Harmony’s pic in the intro always gets me 😢
@ebolen11
I've had experience in wound care for 14 years. I've also worked as a home health nurse for a few of those years. I will say that it can be a little more difficult to detect a pressure injury in the beginning in those individuals with a dark skin tone. I'm willing to bet this child first developed a deep tissue injury (which is like a blister) then it progressed to eschar (looks like leather), then when it finally opened, the depth of the damage was revealed. I've had patients who's family was simply ignorant and thought the eschar (dead, black, tissue) was just a scab. But those people sought out medical care for their family member when they started to seem really sick, not realizing the wound was the cause. I'm not saying any of this to make excuses! It is unforgivable that these parents failed to seek help after realizing the severity of the injury. Being a home health nurse, making sure there was a "willing and able" caregiver with the patient was a HUGE deal. Home health visits range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. It can be daily visits in the beginning, but eventually tapers down over time to 1-2 visits per week depending on the patient. It's usually the first admission visit that takes the longest. Another very important role of the home health nurse is to TEACH the caregiver to make sure the patient is receiving proper care at home. This includes basic turning and repositioning at least every 2 hours to prevent pressure injuries, importance of keeping the skin clean and dry, using equipment, and performing wound care. All that is done on day #1. Those parents knew what to do and how to do it. Home health companies can not legally accept patients that can't care for themselves with no proper caregiver at home. I have made reports to APS myself, but I've never seen anything this bad. I would love to hear from the nurses from that first home health company. They could give a lot of insight on the family's knowledge and participation in his health care.
@user-oi5iy5kc5w
The proof is what they found . Good hell how a mother can defend her daughter from this. I would hide in a giant hole I would be devastated if I raised a daughter that did this to a child.
@hannahebert2803
Maybe it’s just me but I think the parents should’ve been charged after the initial pool incident and not allowed to have him released to them from the hospital unless a case worker was assigned to frequently check in on him at the house by physically seeing him.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand that terrible accidents, such as near or fatal drownings, can tragically happen in a matter of minutes just from a parent turning their back or losing track of time; however, the fact that this happened to a 10 month old tells me that the parents were beyond negligent and had him out of sight and sound for far too long from the very beginning. The fact he ended in the water long enough to end up in a coma and brain dead at only 10 months?? 10 month old babies can hardly walk, and the ones that can, are still incredibly unsteady on their feet. It wasn’t like he managed to sprint towards the water and suddenly dive in, it would’ve taken some time for him to make it over there whether he was crawling or walking. Also, some parents enroll their infants as young 6 months into swim classes, where the instructors will literally just toss the infant into the water and watch them struggle until they figure out how to turn over to float to the top. So I don’t know, he clearly was left alone for way too long. just seems to me that they were negligent from the beginning and irresponsible, causing literally everything that led to his tragic and disheartening death.
@stephenmcgraw8871
I`m thinking the child`s soul was out of his body after he drowned,thank GOD…..and I`m sure he didn`t suffer at all…….I have a feeling that the child`s body was just going through its natural functions and there was no pain for the little one……..GOD save us….
@Peanutandjelly.2121
Sorry Elise I can’t even finish watching this episode this is horrible
@awakenthewoke1091
The aunt/sister is truly a moron. First she brings up race which is just ridiculous but then she suggests that the mom brought all 3 of her childen with her wherever she went. When clearly that wasnt the case. I hate that this level of stupidity and ignorance exists in this world.
@Heartbreakqueen_90
Why put him through all that? I get it’s hard to let go but then for you to allow him to rot away?? Wtf.
@mostlyvoid.partiallystars
Oh lordt I remember the smell of desitin and it’s been like 30 years lol.
@mostlyvoid.partiallystars
When they left the hospital, did the doctors explain any future option in which they could choose to remove life support without being prosecuted? Because I find that highly relevant. Yes they are culpable. But I wonder how much fear they lived in too, for them and their living children? Our society does not make it easy to do the right thing sometimes, especially if it’s not on THEIR timetable. Plus with having past drug charges and being financially strapped, again – mistrust of government and LEO Help is guaranteed.
I’m not excusing them. I’m saying that we all ought do better too.
@dedtinykarissa949
BARTOW**** 😂 not Barstow
@stephanieortega9496
They should endure what that baby endured. There is absolutely zero excuses as to why this happened to that little boy.
@wilson120185
They kept him alive for the money from the state. Disgusting. Im sure it is an unpopular opinion but I dont believe the state / taxpayers should be paying to keep someone alive who is brain dead.
