On December 12, 2015, Nolan Kelly was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital after his grandfather, Larry Crawford, called 911. He arrived at the hospital at 10.21 a.m. and was transferred to Johns Hopkins All Children's around 12.30 p.m., where he was placed on life support and examined by child abuse pediatrician Dr. Sally Smith. Officers from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office responded and interviewed Danica and Larry at the hospital and John shortly after at Larry's house, and thus began their attempts to unravel what had led to 15-month-old Nolan's grave condition. People believe their eyes. That's something that is so central to this topic because we do believe the people that we love when they're telling us something.

John walked us through his version of the events that preceded Nolan's hospitalization starting with Friday, the morning of December 11th.
I take Danica to work, drop her off, and then we went to Larry's house, which is the grandfather, and stayed there for basically the whole day. And that's Friday. So, and I cooked, I'm pretty sure, I think eggs and bacon or sausage or something like that, scrambled eggs. fed all the kids, and the whole time I'm sending pictures and videos to Danica because she had just started her job, and I didn't want her to feel like she was missing out on anything with her kids.
This was December, and like many families with small children, just about everyone was getting over some type of cold, as Danica explained to the police.
What happened? You assume your children are sick? Yeah. I'm sick. John's been sick. My mom just got over really bad. Cold. Nolan's been teething. He's getting his big, you know, the big teeth back. He's been really fussy. Well, I mean, not really fussy. He hasn't run any fevers. He hasn't had any rashes or diarrhea or anything, but you can see where his teeth are growing in.
