25.597 - 60.199 Sheriff Grady Judd

They pretended to be DCF workers. And what this lady was going to do is she went to church with the mother of the child or the children that was removed. This one right here? Yes. So what she was going to do is get the child back. where it was in DCF custody, and return it to the mother who it had been taken from. So she goes there and pretends to be a DCF worker, Terry Thomas.

And so fortunately, the person that was keeping the children at the time went, okay, so show me your ID. Well, I left it in the car. Well, go back and get it. Well, leave it at home. Well, I left it at home. Well, so the fake DCF worker, this Nicole Terry Thomas says, if you don't give me the children, I'm going to call the sheriff's office. And so she said, well, call the sheriff's office.

And, of course, we got there, unraveled it, and put her in jail. And there's a Nicole Terry Thomas, 56 years old, accused of pretending to be a Child Protective Services employee in an attempt to kidnap a 9-year-old boy from his babysitter's home. Right. How does she profit from it?

122.362 - 134.494 Sheriff Grady Judd

Well, she was a friend with a mother who lost the child. Got it. And she was going to act as if she was the DCF worker, get the child, and return it to the mother.

134.474 - 140.92 Patrick Bet-David

I got it. So it wasn't like a child trafficking thing. It was just trying to get it. Now, how much time is she facing for doing this?

140.98 - 153.873 Sheriff Grady Judd

Well, when you look at the charges, she could get decades. But I don't think she had a real history. She was a church-going woman. She just had mental health issues, and it seemed to make sense to her at the time.

154.113 - 163.222 Patrick Bet-David

Wow. So a regular person who thought it was doing a favor for a friend could end up doing 10 years plus. Oh, yes. Easy. Are you serious? She attempted to kidnap the child.

Chapter 3: What was the motive behind the attempted kidnapping in Polk County?

356.843 - 372.65 Patrick Bet-David

So you not only humiliate the ones that screwed up, but you lift up the people that are doing the right thing. Absolutely. And I've gone into convenience stores and seen my letter posted in their store. I love that. That is, of course, that's an honor to say, look, and I would frame that and put it up. Absolutely. That's amazing.
