Chapter 1: Who is Annie Elise and what is this podcast about?
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise, your true crime bestie and your host of this podcast.
Now, today's episode is a little bit different than the ones we normally talk about, or not that we normally talk about, than you're normally seeing, because right now next to me, you can tell if you're watching the YouTube version of this, I'm streaming the Karen Reid trial. They're quickly on lunch right now, so I took a quick break to come over here, record this for you,
But I've got the live chat going. I actually have people watching the behind the scenes of me recording this episode. So it's a little bit different of a dynamic here. Okay, so let's start with today. We are going over headline highlights, which obviously there is a lot happening this week in true crime. Not only, of course, the Karen Reid trial, but also a lot of new cases that are breaking.
And a lot of these are very, actually all of them are deeply disturbing and unsettling. Before we get into them, though, I did want to give you guys a quick reminder. We did launch spring merch this week. So it is live right now. Some of the items have already sold out. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But we do have a few left. They're almost gone.
So if you're interested in getting your spring merch, you can go to AnnieElise.com, grab some goodies. As always, we give Patreon first access a day early. So another reason to be a Patreon member so that you can shop before it's sold out. But we have a lot of fun things over there if you want to go take a look. We usually design all of our merch directly from requests from you guys.
So I'm really excited about this launch. But you can check that out, AnnieElise.com. And as always, a portion of our proceeds goes directly to the Child Rescue Coalition, which is an organization that we work very closely with and that is very near and dear to my heart. Now, let's jump into the cases we are talking about today. We've got a lot of wild ones.
We have one where there is, yet again, chaos happening at a school, teachers inflicting that chaos, and it's very unsettling. It's like a makeshift fight club. But as I give you the details, it's going to probably make you want to vomit and punch people at the same time. It's just atrocious.
There's also a case where a little girl in Florida was found wandering around and she had bloodstains on her face. This was shortly after her mother was murdered. We also are going to talk about a case that is breaking out in Dallas right now of a young woman who was brutally murdered, who should have never even been in the area in which this happened, and...

Chapter 2: What happened in the Arkansas school fight club scandal?
We're going to talk about some more, so I'm going to stop teeing it up and let's just get right into it. And I want to kick it off with that case I just mentioned about teachers who were running a makeshift fight club at school, because as if that's not grotesque enough, the school director was in on it. It is appalling and it's like my worst freaking nightmare as a parent.
So four teachers and parents in Arkansas were arrested for allegedly running a makeshift child fight club. And get a load of this. The ringleader, as mentioned, was the school's director. Now, in a very heartbreaking detail, as if this wasn't already heartbreaking at the foot of it, right?
But it happened at a school called the Delta Institute for the Developing Brain and the Engaged Mind, which this school has a program that is meant to help kids with autism. And I'm going to get into the details shortly here, but let me start with this. The four people who were arrested were Mary Morrison, Michael Bean, Kristen Bell, and Catherine Lipscomb.
Mary is the owner and the school director, and Catherine is a teacher there. Michael and Kristen are both parents of children who attend that school. Now, this whole situation came to light when a video of one of these fights surfaced online. Which, first of all, who would be having these fights to begin with? Who would then take it a step further and video them?
And then who would take it a step even beyond that and publish them online? Clearly, somebody who is, like, deranged, right? So after this video was leaked, a prosecutor filed charges against the four of these adults, and they all turned themselves in to the police willingly. But I still can just not believe that teachers and parents were literally encouraging these children to fight each other.
And they were fifth grade students, okay? Now, the video is about 30 minutes long, and in the video, one of these teachers can even be heard telling a kid to, quote, hit that other kid right in the private area, specifically a boy, just egging them on and trying to encourage this behavior. And they just sat around, watched it, and videoed it.
So all four of them were booked into jail on April 21st. And Catherine, the teacher, her bail was set at $100,000. Michael and Kristen, the parents, theirs was set at $10,000. And Mary, the ringleader, the head honcho, her bail was set at $250,000. The judge also issued a no-contact order for her, meaning that she cannot interact with any schools or any students, which, thank goodness, right?
So all four of them posted their bond, and they were released shortly after they were arrested. They're set to appear again in court on May 22nd, but...
What I wanted to talk about with this case is because at the surface, obviously it's disgusting and sickening, making young children fight each other, encourage them to fight each other, some of whom may have autism, and you're just preying on them as like some disgusting predator.

Chapter 3: What is the story behind the Texas mom arrested for giving alcoholic Jello shots to fifth graders?
Now, the investigation into this whole thing didn't start until January, when all of the students and all of the teachers returned from their winter break. So Teresa just ended up being arrested last Monday, and she was charged with injury to a child. Her bond was set at $75,000, which she did post same day of her arrest, and she was released.
She hasn't released any public statement on the incident so far. She hasn't spoken out publicly in any way. So she is remaining quiet during this time. However, the school district did release a statement on the matter, and it reads, At the time, a parent volunteer brought homemade Jell-O to the celebration, which was later found to contain alcohol.
Unfortunately, some students consumed the Jell-O before the situation was discovered. Staff acted immediately to address the situation, informing parents and working with law enforcement. They also said that she is not allowed to set foot on the school's campus, which I understand. I would also wonder what's happening with her child that's enrolled in the school.
Surely they can't be suspended or expelled. It's not their fault. But then if she can't set foot on the campus, how does the child get picked up from school? How does that work? I mean, it's just a very messy, messy situation. Now this next case is very harrowing and I want to give a little bit of a warning.
It is very difficult to hear because this is the case that takes us to Florida and it involves a little girl who was found wandering around with blood on her face. So this takes us back to Saturday, April 24th and some neighbors in Miami, Florida were very shocked to find this little three-year-old girl wandering around a building's parking lot.
not only wandering by herself, but her face was covered in blood. Sadly, shortly after this little girl was found wandering around, her mother, 24-year-old Maria Camila Garcia Molina, was discovered in her car, and her mother had been stabbed to death.
Which that terrifies me, because if you really break that down for a moment and think about it, this three-year-old little girl was covered in her mother's blood. Her mother was found stabbed to death in the car, meaning that this little girl was in the car with her and somehow was left unharmed, escaped, then went to go get help.
We don't know the details, and I'm going to get into more of this shortly, but terrifying, right? A terrifying moment. Now, this all started because, as I said before, the residents saw this little girl walking around the Twin Lakes apartment complex and had bloodstains on her face and her clothing. And this was around 4 p.m.
One of the neighbors recognized this little girl, luckily, and then took her over to her grandmother, which the grandmother then flagged down a sheriff's deputy. So first, the police tried looking inside the apartment that they lived at, seeing if they could find her mother there. But she, of course, was not there. So then, they went and searched the entire area.

Chapter 4: What are the details of the Florida case involving a bloody little girl found in a parking lot?
But Kendrick, the guy who got out of the Mercedes that this other man had, you know, brushed his hand against, started firing, shooting not only the man, but also shooting Ashley multiple times. The two of them were rushed to the hospital, and the man that she was with was able to pull through and survive. But unfortunately, Ashley was not able to make it. She passed away at the hospital.
And police said that this entire incident was caught on security camera footage. Now, Ashley's family was, of course, shocked and devastated because of what had happened, but also because it happened far away from all of them. So they just felt powerless, like there was nothing that they could do.
Night out on the town and then being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was heartbreaking. Nothing I could do. I was so far away.
It was just like I was in a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. She would have been there five minutes earlier, five minutes later. You know, things would be different.
Now, authorities searched for the shooter for weeks, but they couldn't find him. Dallas police even put out a public statement on social media urging the public to come forward with any information that they had. Then, in a very interesting turn that we don't really see too often, the killer actually turned himself in.
Kendrick turned himself into the police on April 18th, and he admitted that he was the shooter who exited that Mercedes vehicle that night. So he's now being held in Dallas County Jail with his bond set at $500,000. He faces multiple murder charges. Now, obviously, one thing that Ashley's family is really struggling with during this is that this was a completely random act of violence.
She was 100% just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One of the first words from the detective was, if she would have been in a place five minutes before or five minutes after, this would have never happened. It literally was a random act. That's what's so sickening.
Ashley's family wants everybody to remember her as a kind, joyful, and very hardworking woman with very big dreams. And to remember her, her family left pictures of her all along Main Street where she was killed. And just listening to them talk about her is absolutely devastating.

Chapter 5: Who is Joy Chandra Nath and what was his connection to the Florida murder case?
Chloe's mom, however, said that Chloe was the killer, that she had murdered her baby on purpose. The responding officers immediately tried to find this baby to perform first aid, but that is when they made a gruesome discovery. Through tears, her mother told the police that Chloe had, quote, hurt him, and then she pointed out marks on the baby where the baby had been stabbed.
And this is going to get a little bit graphic, and remember, we are talking about a baby here, so I just want to give you a little bit of warning. The baby boy was found in Chloe's bedroom. He was wrapped inside a towel and he had multiple stab wounds to his neck and on the left side of his chest. And even worse, his throat was completely slit.
Both of the parents also told the officers that they witnessed Chloe take a knife from the kitchen earlier that day. And by the time the police were there, that knife was still missing. But then a little bit later, Chloe's father found this bloody knife apparently and it had been hidden in the back of Chloe's closet.
It's just so vile and haunting, and it looks like it was definitely her plan from the very beginning to hide this entire thing, to secretly kill the baby and then not say a word, although I don't understand how she thought that she was going to pass this off as the baby being a stillborn when there were visible stab wounds to the baby and a slit throat on this infant.
Then, of course, finding the bloody knife in the closet. It's just so cold-hearted and so demonic. That's the only word I really know to use to describe it. So Chloe was originally being tried on first-degree murder charges, but her lawyers then decided to argue this, saying that she had been abused by her family members, and because of that, it caused a lot of psychological trauma.
They also said that she suffered from multiple mental health conditions. Her lawyers also said that Chloe was 15 years old when she got pregnant, and the father was 19 years old, and that when a person who's 19 years old has sex with somebody who's 15 years old or younger, it is considered sexual assault in Nebraska.
In addition to that, her lawyers argued that her parents or her parental figures had never stepped up to help take care of Chloe, which, don't get me wrong, I get that. That feels like a really shitty hand to have been dealt and a rough situation, and I definitely don't condone a 19-year-old having sex with a 15-year-old.
But sexual assault or not, that does not justify or excuse cold-blooded, premeditated, calculated murder of a child. Certainly not. Certainly not. Not of anybody, but like, no less your infant child, right? And I'm not saying, again, that she didn't have a rough childhood. I'm sure that she did. But I just don't think that there's any excuse for this. I mean, slitting a newborn baby's throat?
Are you kidding me? And your own baby? It's like, it's so, again, demented and demonic. She clearly was very callous in doing all this because, mind you, her parents were right downstairs the entire time.
