America's Baby Is in Handcuffs: Baby Jessica Arrested 39 Years After Famous Rescue
Plus: New rape testimony rocks the Athena Strand sentencing phase — and Sherrone Moore walks out of court a free man.
She was eighteen months old when she fell into a well in Midland, Texas, and the whole world held its breath for fifty-eight hours. Baby Jessica became America's child. This week, Jessica McClure Morales — now forty years old — was arrested at her Midland home on domestic violence charges. We have the story. Then: the sentencing phase of the Tanner Horner trial has delivered its most devastating testimony yet — two women who say Horner raped them as teenagers, and forensic evidence that the jury will not be able to unsee. And former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been sentenced. He will not see a single day in jail.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.720
Callaroga Shark Media. If you were alive in October of
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.000
nineteen eighty seven, you remember baby Jessica, eighteen months old
3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.800
a well in a Texas backyard, fifty eight hours of
4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:25.679
the entire country watching, holding its breath, waiting. She was
5
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.559
singing inside that well. They could hear her. And when
6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.479
the paramedic finally pulled her out through that narrow tunnel,
7
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.320
covered in dust and trauma and somehow still alive, there
8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.880
wasn't a dry eye in the country. Ronald Reagan called
9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.719
her America's Child. Jessica McClure Morales is forty years old now,
10
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.600
she has children of her own, She's a grandmother. She
11
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.600
works at a landscaping shop in Midland, and as of
12
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.640
last Saturday night, she was in handcuffs. We're going to
13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.520
get into that this morning, the arrest, the years in between,
14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.960
and the family tragedy that has followed her quietly away
15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.840
from the cameras for a very long time. Also this morning,
16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.480
we have been following the Tanner Horner trial from the beginning,
17
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.200
the FedEx driver who abducted and murdered seven year old
18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:16.040
Athena Strand in Texas in twenty twenty two, Horner pleaded guilty.
19
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.480
The jury is now deciding whether he gets the death penalty.
20
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.560
And this week the sentencing phase has reached territory that
21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.519
is genuinely hard to sit with. Two women took the
22
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.159
stand and said Tanner Horner rape them when they were
23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.799
sixteen years old. And then the forensic analyst testified about
24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.840
what was found on Athena Strand's body. I'm going to
25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.239
be honest with you, that segment is going to be
26
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.319
difficult to get through. It should be. And finally, remember
27
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.000
Sharon Moore, the Michigan football coach who went from national
28
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.599
championship winner to jail cell in a single December afternoon.
29
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.959
He was in court this week for sentencing. He will
30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.840
not serve a day in prison. His victim has something
31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:04.200
to say about that. Let's start with something that almost
32
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.800
feels surreal. The date is October fourteenth, nineteen eighty seven, Midland, Texas,
33
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.919
a backyard, an eight inch wide well casing that nobody
34
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.719
had thought to cover, and an eighteen month old little
35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.240
girl named Jessica McClure who fell twenty two feet straight
36
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.439
down into the earth. And then the whole world showed
37
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.319
up a BC, NBC and CBS, all three major networks
38
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.080
interrupted their scheduled primetime programming to broadcast the rescue live.
39
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.240
Rescuers had to drill a parallel shaft through solid rock,
40
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.599
then dig a horizontal tunnel just wide enough for a
41
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.639
person to crawl through. It took fifty eight hours. At
42
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.479
some point during those fifty eight hours, people below ground
43
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.360
could hear the little girl singing, singing, eighteen months old,
44
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.840
stuck in a well, and she was singing. A paramedic
45
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.039
named Robert O'Donnell crawled through that tunnel and pulled her out.
46
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.680
The image of Jessica McClure emerging from that well, caked
47
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.960
in dust, small enough to fit in one man's arms,
48
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.719
went everywhere. People who weren't even born yet know that photograph.
49
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.080
Ronald Reagan said at the time, everybody in America became
50
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.520
godmothers and godfathers of Jessica. While this was going on.
51
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
She visited the White House two years later, where a
52
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.800
young George H. W. Bush let her take his glasses
53
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.439
while her family laughed. America loved this kid in a
54
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.039
way that felt almost primal, the way a whole country
55
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:37.120
can collectively decide that one small child represents something precious
56
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.520
about hope itself. Her ordeal got a TV movie in
57
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.000
nineteen eighty nine. The Simpsons did a satirical episode in
58
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.400
nineteen ninety two. Radio Bart built entirely on the premise
59
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.319
the baby Jessica's story became part of American cultural vocabulary.
60
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.960
Now let me tell you what happened to the girl
61
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.879
inside that story. Jessica underwent multiple surgeries after her her rescue.
62
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.879
She lost a toe. She grew up in Midland, graduated
63
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.680
from Greenwood High School in two thousand and four. In
64
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.919
January two thousand and six, she married Daniel Morales and
65
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.039
they've been together for twenty years. They have two kids,
66
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.160
Simon and Cheyenne. Both of her children have since had
67
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.959
children of their own. Jessica McClure Morales is a grandmother.
68
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.959
She posed with her twin grandchildren on Facebook last year
69
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.000
on her twenty fifth birthday. In March of twenty eleven,
70
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.000
she finally gained access to the trust fund that had
71
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.800
been established after her rescue. People from all over the
72
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.319
country had donated on behalf of that little Girl in
73
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.399
the well. By the time she turned twenty five, that
74
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.879
fund had grown to one point two million dollars most
75
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.560
of it was already gone. The two thousand and eight
76
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.959
stock market crash had taken a significant portion. She used
77
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.240
what remained to buy a home for her family in
78
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.759
Midland Outright, a three bedroom, two bathroom house worth around
79
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.360
three hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars. In a twenty
80
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.120
twenty two interview with People magazine, she was gracious about it.
81
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.160
She said the rescue had given her the perspective to
82
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.120
handle the financial loss. I had got on my side
83
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.000
that day, she said. My life is a miracle. She
84
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.600
worked for years as a special education teacher at a
85
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.079
local elementary school. She now works as an assistant shop
86
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.879
manager at Richard's Horticulture, a landscaping business in Midland. By
87
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.040
all accounts, she was living a quiet, private life, as
88
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.000
far from the spotlight as you can get when your
89
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.879
face is part of a cultural moment. And then this
90
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:41.079
year quietly a tragedy. Her stepsister, Gracey Adams, twenty five
91
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.480
years old, the daughter of her father, Chip's wife Amy,
92
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:50.160
was found dead in her Nashville home in January. Gracie's girlfriend,
93
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.199
a twenty nine year old woman named Sarah Stacy, was
94
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.759
charged with her murder. That case is still ongoing. McClure
95
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.040
Morales has not spoken publicly about it. Her father, Chip,
96
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.759
for what it's worth, has moved on to a very
97
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.000
different life. He runs a private jet acquisition company in
98
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:13.040
Tennessee Jet Acquisitions with his wife Amy. He still occasionally
99
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.040
reshares the story of his daughter's rescue on social media.
100
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.120
In October of last year, when it had been thirty
101
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.759
eight years, he posted about it. Hard to believe it's
102
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.560
been that long, he wrote. Now. Last Saturday night, around
103
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.360
ten o'clock, Midland, Texas officers responded to the home of
104
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.920
Jessica McClure Morales. She was charged with assault causing bodily
105
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.000
injury involving family violence. She was taken into custody at
106
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.959
the scene and later released on bond. The amount of
107
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.120
that bond has not been disclosed. The Midland County Sheriff's
108
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.120
office says the arrest affidavit may not be released for
109
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.839
up to ten days. No further details about the incident
110
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.519
have emerged. It is unclear who the alleged victim is,
111
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.439
though the charge classification domestic family violence points to someone
112
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.040
in her household. Two days after the arrest, she posted
113
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.439
on Facebook. The post read note to self. Happiness is
114
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.879
letting go of what you assume your life is supposed
115
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.120
to be like right now and sincerely appreciating it for
116
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.279
everything that it is. So Relax, Reset, you are enough,
117
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.160
you have enough, you do enough. Breathe deep, Let go
118
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.240
and just live right now. She did not address the arrest.
119
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.879
She has not commented publicly. I want to say something
120
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.439
carefully here. We don't know what happened in that house
121
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.480
on Saturday night. We don't know who was hurt, or
122
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.560
how or in what context. A charge is not a conviction.
123
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.800
There is no arrest affidavit. Yet. What we know is
124
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.240
that the woman who was once America's child, who literally
125
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.480
survived something that killed people much older than her, who
126
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.560
built a life on a fraction of the money that
127
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.959
was supposed to help her, who lost a stepsister to violence.
128
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.079
It's less than four months ago, was arrested at her home.
129
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.639
Whatever led to that moment, she is clearly caring a lot.
130
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:12.120
That said, the charge is real. The legal process will
131
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.399
unfold and we will follow it. She has a tattoo,
132
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.680
by the way, recent two words well shit, a joke
133
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.079
about the incident that made her famous. Whatever else is
134
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.399
true about Jessica McClure morales that woman has a sense
135
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.159
of humor about what the world handed her. I'll give
136
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:50.039
her that. We have been with this case from the beginning.
137
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.080
If you've been listening, you know the full story. If
138
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.879
you're newer to the show. Athena Strand was seven years old.
139
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.200
She disappeared from outside her home in Paradise text This
140
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.120
on November thirtieth, twenty twenty two. A FedEx driver named
141
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.360
Tanner Horner had just delivered a package to the Strand home,
142
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.120
a box of barbies meant to be Athena's Christmas present.
143
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.679
The video from inside his van shows her climbing in.
144
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.759
She told him her name. Horner killed her. He tried
145
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.960
to break her neck. When that didn't work, he strangled
146
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.240
her with his bare hands in the back of that van.
147
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.639
He led investigators to her body, which he'd left in
148
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.960
the Trinity River, fifteen miles from her home. She was
149
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.879
missing for two days before they found her. Horner is
150
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.039
thirty five years old. He had been charged with capital
151
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.080
murder and aggravated kidnapping. On the first day of his trial,
152
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.559
April seventh, he surprised everyone by pleading guilty. The jury's
153
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.639
only job now is the sentencing phase, death or life
154
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.360
without parole. We covered day five on Monday. Here is
155
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.679
what happened. Sergeant Brett Yarrow returned to the stand. He
156
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.919
testified that at some point, while awaiting try, Horner tried
157
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.679
to kill himself in jail. When that happened, officers searched
158
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.320
his cell and found handwritten letters. Those letters were read
159
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.480
to the jury. One letter was addressed to the Strand family.
160
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.840
It contained apologies. It also contained explanations for his behavior,
161
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.159
including a reference to his Asperger's diagnosis, which his defense
162
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.600
team has made a central part of their mitigation strategy.
163
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.480
Horner wrote that he had been stressed by changes to
164
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.200
his delivery route, that being unable to drive the same
165
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:33.399
route every day had destabilized him. He wrote, I'm sorry
166
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.240
I took your little angel away from you. She didn't
167
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.240
deserve it. The other letter was addressed to detectives, and
168
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.799
this is the one that raised eyebrows. In that letter,
169
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.240
Horner claimed that another person was involved in Athena Strand's abduction.
170
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.000
Investigators have found no evidence supporting that claim. To be clear,
171
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.720
Horner has confessed his DNA is on this case. The
172
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.480
forensic evidence is over whelming. This reads, and this is
173
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.759
my editorial, read like a man who has spent time
174
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.440
in a cell calculating his odds and decided to throw
175
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.399
something against the wall, something that might introduce doubt, something
176
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.879
that might at sentencing make a juror hesitate. It will
177
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.080
not work, but it tells you something about Tanner Horner
178
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.799
that he tried. There was also a long hair collected
179
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:29.759
from Horner's underwear. Let that sit there now. Day six, Tuesday,
180
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.039
April fourteenth, a digital forensic examiner named Scott Morris testified
181
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.879
that he had analyzed Horner's phone. Among the things he found,
182
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.240
Horner had searched for information about the case before his arrest.
183
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.480
He knew what was coming. He was tracking the investigation.
184
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.399
A man named Kevin Huffman also testified. Huffman had received
185
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.679
a package delivered by Horner on November twenty ninth, the
186
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.080
day before Athena disappeared. When Horner pulled up to the
187
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.799
Huffman property, two children were outside playing. They were seven
188
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.559
and ten years old. Horner got out and asked them
189
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.559
if an adult was home. Think about that sequence. November
190
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.759
twenty ninth, Horner approaches a property. Two children are playing
191
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.200
outside he asks if a grown up is home. November thirtieth,
192
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.720
Athena Strand goes missing. Then came the testimony. I want
193
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.879
to prepare you for Two women unidentified took the stand
194
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.080
and described being sexually assaulted by Tanner Horner when they
195
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.440
were sixteen years old, sixteen, one year below the age
196
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.039
of consent in Texas. The first woman said she met
197
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.919
Horner through mutual friends in twenty thirteen. She was sixteen,
198
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.159
he was twenty two. He took her to a shed
199
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.279
at his grandmother's property, where they drank alcohol he had
200
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.080
purchased in smoke marijuana. She said that when she decided
201
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.320
it was time to sleep, Horner began touching her, kissing her,
202
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.279
and proceeded to have sex with her. She told him
203
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.000
the following day she did not want that kind of relationship.
204
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.240
Months later, she was assaulted a second time, woke up
205
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:09.159
to him already touching her. She testified, I froze, I
206
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.159
completely froze, shut down, did not know what to do,
207
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.759
and just let it happen. She said she feels guilty
208
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.399
for not reporting sooner. Things may not have happened to
209
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.840
other people, she said. On cross examination, defense attorneys pointed
210
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.039
out that she had earlier told police the encounters were consensual,
211
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.840
that she had voluntarily been in his presence, that no
212
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.399
one had forced her to drink or used drugs. I
213
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.279
want to be precise here. None of that changes what
214
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.639
she described a sixteen year old legally below the age
215
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.159
of consent in a shed in the middle of the
216
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.559
night with a twenty two year old man who purchased
217
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:51.039
the alcohol, describing waking up to being touched, describing freezing
218
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.600
and going along with it because she didn't know what
219
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:57.159
else to do. That is not the legal standard for
220
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.600
Texas law, but it is a description that every adult
221
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.759
in that courtroom should understand without needing it, explained. The
222
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.240
second woman testified that she met Horner when she was
223
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.559
sixteen and he was twenty one. She said he pursued her,
224
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.600
knowing she was under age, and told her to lie
225
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.559
about her age to others. She said, in December of
226
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.840
twenty fourteen, after a night of drinking at a friend's house,
227
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.879
she and Horner were sharing a bed. She told him
228
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.759
she did not want to be touched, she wanted to sleep.
229
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.919
She woke up to Tanner Horner raping her. I became
230
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.879
conscious and came to to Tanner Horner raping me, she testified.
231
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.440
She said she didn't initially remember clearly the memories came back.
232
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.000
In twenty eighteen, she made a public accusation. When Athenis
233
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.879
Strand's body was found in the river, she contacted police
234
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:49.559
about her experience with Horner. I felt like I had
235
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.879
been put back in sixteen year old me's body, she testified.
236
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.399
I felt guilt for not coming forward. I felt shame.
237
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.720
I felt a lot of pain reliving those memories over
238
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:06.000
and over again. Then the forensic analyst, Jacqueline Ferrara testified remotely.
239
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.799
She examined DNA swabs from both Horner and Athena, as
240
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.960
well as items from Athena's sexual assault kit. Male DNA
241
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.200
was detected on Athena Strand's vaginal and anal swabs. Blood
242
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.159
and seamen were detected on Horner's FedEx shirt. Semen was
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.720
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.000
3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.800
4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:25.679
5
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.559
6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.479
7
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.320
8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.880
9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.719
10
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.600
11
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.600
12
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.640
13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.520
14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.960
15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.840
16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.480
17
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.200
18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:16.040
19
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.480
20
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.560
21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.519
22
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.159
23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.799
24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.840
25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.239
26
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.319
27
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.000
28
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.599
29
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.959
30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.840
31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:04.200
32
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.800
33
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.919
34
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.719
35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.240
36
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.439
37
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.319
38
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.080
39
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.240
40
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.599
41
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.639

48
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.719
49
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.080
50
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.520
51
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
