Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialist League.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, your host, Annie Elise, and we are going over headline highlights today, which I have to say, there have definitely been some case updates from recent cases that we've talked about, so I want to definitely, you know, just touch on those a little bit first.
But before we get into all of that, I hope you guys are all having a great week. It is finally Thursday. It's officially fall. We are in the throes of it. It's November. So hopefully you have something, you know, warm and cozy planned for this weekend. I don't know. Maybe. But let's start with some of these updates. There has been a huge update in the Lola Davier case.
And if you are not familiar with that case, I did a deep dive on it back in September on my YouTube channel and on the show 10 to Life. It unfortunately isn't on the 10 to Life podcast feed because we didn't launch the podcast until after that.
But I will link the video version in the episode show notes because it is a case that when I first was researching it, it not only was haunting and so despicable and disgusting. But just the evil of it, the callousness of it, it happened back in 2022. And Lola is a 12-year-old little girl, or unfortunately, I should say Lola was a 12-year-old little girl.
And she was brutally murdered by someone who lived near her family. And not only murdered, but she was sexually assaulted. She was tormented in awful, awful ways. Just inhumane things were done. And then when this monster was done killing Lola, she stuffed her body in a storage container and left it near her family's home for them to find her. I mean, absolutely awful.
So the update with this case, again, you can go listen to the deep dive, but the update now is that 27-year-old Dabia Benkirid was finally sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Lola. And this is the harshest punishment that she could have been sentenced to. And I believe, to my knowledge, this took place in Paris, France.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding the case of the attorney found with his wife in a tragic situation?
This week, Jake was sentenced. And as you know, Jake is the father of missing Emmanuel, who, by the way, still has not been located. So he was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. This was after he pleaded guilty to Emmanuel's murder. He was also sentenced to over six years in prison for other offenses. all to run consecutively.
He, of course, is ineligible for probation because he was already on probation for severely hurting another child, his daughter, from years ago, which don't even get me started on that. I went into a whole deep dive of it when this case first broke, but There is no reason he should have even been free to be able to hurt Emanuel, in my opinion. But even this sentence, 25 years to life, I get it.
That is a serious sentence. But in my opinion, it is way, way, way too light. Especially... since he has already been convicted of hurting his daughter years ago. Like, this guy should get, honestly, the worst possible punishment available. I just feel like 25 years to life is not enough for being a repeat offender and hurting the most vulnerable, your own children.
Now, Emmanuel's grandmother, the maternal grandmother, Mary, During all of this, she addressed the court during Jake's sentencing. And she said, which I thought was really interesting, she said, "'He destroyed my family. Everybody in my family, all my children, are destroyed by this.'" She also said, "'He changed my daughter. We don't know who she is. He kept my daughter away.
I don't know what he did or how he changed my daughter's life, but she was never the same person after she went to live with him.'" And I find this very, very interesting because very early on when this case first broke, a lot of photos came out of Rebecca. And I'm going to show them for you in the video version of this episode on YouTube. But this isn't to give her a pass at all.
She is just as guilty, in my opinion, whether she was complicit And the murder itself or the cover-up, I don't care. She's complicit. She harmed her baby and ultimately did not get him justice. But I will say this. In photos of Rebecca pre-Jake, before she met Jake, she looked like an entirely different person, at least to me. And now, even before she was arrested... she looks broken down.
She looks run down. And like, she doesn't look like the same person. And that's something that I had mentioned very early on. So now hearing her mom saying how he changed my daughter, she was never the same after she went to live with him. I think it's also pretty clear through these photos that she did change.
And again, that's not to give her a pass or excuse her behavior and her actions or her lack of actions. Certainly not. But it does give an illustration of just... how much control seems to have been in that relationship and what you know, a power player, I guess, if you will, Jake was. It's just very unsettling. But I wish he got a bigger sentence. I think that this is inexcusable.
I think that it is way too lax for what he did. We still don't even know where Emmanuel's remains are. We don't know what happened to him, what they did, like why this happened. It's just, I don't know, it infuriates me. And so I'm going to be watching this and continuing to watch it as we get more information. And it's just incredibly sad.

Chapter 3: What updates are there on the disappearance of baby Emmanuel Haro?
The first incident happened on July 11th, 2023, around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She said that she was at her home in Michigan, and Adam came over and stripped her naked and attacked her. In her petition, she wrote, "...he physically abused me by throwing a pickle jar, which then struck me on the head."
punching me, pushing me, pulling my hair, dragging me by my clothes, and stripping me out of my clothes. He also poured vodka on my body, which burned my wounds, and he would motion as if he was going to hit me with the alcohol bottle. Caitlyn tried to run away, but eventually Adam caught up with her. So they ended up going to the hospital, and she was treated for a quote, open head wound.
Which to that, I have a feeling that Adam convinced her to tell the staff that it was a fall that she had that gave her the wound, obviously not that he did. The second attack happened the following month on August 21st, 2023, and this time it was at Adam's condo in Chicago, and the attack happened at around 8am.
The couple got into a fight, and Adam started to verbally abuse Caitlin by calling her a cheater, a whore, a piece of shit, a liar, a bitch, every word imaginable. But the verbal abuse wasn't enough for Adam, because then he took it to a physical level.
And according to Caitlin herself, she said, "...he physically abused me by dragging me by my ankle, strangling me, suffocating me, slamming my head against a cabinet, slapping me, punching me, putting my head in a headlock and dragging me away from the door to prevent me from leaving." And even that wasn't enough for Adam, because this time he went even further than the first time.
He took Caitlin's keys, her wallet, her iPad, her phone, so she'd have no way to try and get help. Thankfully, though, she was able to get away by foot, and she headed to a police station nearby. After she spoke with the cops, they went to Adam's condo, but he wouldn't open the door for them. And for whatever reason, I don't know why, but the cops did not push the matter any further.
Now, the third attack that led Caitlyn to filing the restraining order happened on September 20th, 2023 at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. This is where Caitlyn was staying at the time. And at around 5.30 that night, Adam came barreling into her room and immediately started to attack her. This time, he also tried sexually abusing her as well.
Caitlin didn't give the detectives further details about that attack or why she was staying at the hotel instead of his condo, which I'm speculating here, but I could assume that maybe Caitlin didn't feel safe staying at Adam's place, hence the hotel room, and maybe why Adam wasn't happy. But either way, Caitlin filed a police report for domestic battery.
Then, after this incident, Caitlin ended her relationship with Adam, and she finally shared with her parents what she had been going through. Up until that point, they had no idea what their daughter's relationship was really like. They just assumed she was happy.
