1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Read Carter, and welcome

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.960
to celebrity trials on this Monday, July twenty eighth. This

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.239
weekend marked the end of one of the most horrific

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.839
family annihilation cases in American history. After seven years of

5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.960
legal proceedings, multiple trials across two states, and the systematic

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.079
murder of five innocent people, Laurie da Bell finally received

7
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.000
her final sentences, but even facing life in prison, this

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.000
twisted woman maintained her delusions and showed zero remorse for

9
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.799
destroying two families. Meanwhile, in Colorado, the James Craig poisoning

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.240
trial revealed chilling new evidence about how a trusted dentist

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.719
slowly tortured his wife to death with cyanide laced protein shakes.

12
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.399
And in Florida, a jury decided that Shelby Neely should

13
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.880
die for his calculated massacre of his in laws after

14
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.280
murdering his wife. This is what justice looks like when

15
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.560
evil hides behind religion, medical knowledge, and family bonds. Let's

16
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.920
break down the verdicts that closed the book on some

17
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.959
of America's most disturbing killers. Friday, July twenty fifth, twenty

18
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.519
twenty five, Laurie day Bell was sentenced to life in

19
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.599
prison on two murder conspiracy convictions in Arizona, marking an

20
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.079
end to a winding legal saga for the mother with

21
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.400
doomsday religious beliefs who claimed people in her life had

22
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.879
been possessed by evil spirits. For those who followed our

23
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.319
five part series on the Valo day Bell murders last week,

24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.519
this was the final chapter of a story that began

25
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.760
with two missing children and ended with five dead bodies.

26
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.640
Day Bell, already serving life sentences in Idaho in the

27
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.640
killings of her two youngest children and a romantic rival,

28
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.599
was convicted at separate trials this spring in Phoenix of

29
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.359
conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow and her

30
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.599
niece's ex husband, Brandon Boudreaux. The most powerful moments came

31
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.239
during victim impact statements, when the family's Laurie had tried

32
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.240
to silence forever, finally got their voices back. Kay Woodcock,

33
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.759
JJ's grandmother, broke down in tears while reading a letter

34
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.080
written on behalf of JJ to Valo da Bell. The

35
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.240
letter said I should be thirteen, I am forever seven,

36
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.080
before Kay screamed at Laurie I trusted you. But perhaps

37
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.479
the most devastating moment came from Larry Woodcock, who looked

38
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.240
directly at Laurie and said, twenty three hours a day,

39
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.360
I despise you. You murdered JJ, you murdered Tammy. I

40
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.719
always believed you murdered Alex. You're a murderer, mistress, You're worthless.

41
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.479
Several of Lurie day Bell's relatives addressed the court ahead

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.759
of the sentencing in grief, stricken, at times angry remarks.

43
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.000
They touched on the loss of Valor, as well as

44
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.439
his nephew JJ, whom he and Laurie day Bell had adopted,

45
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.000
and Tyle, a child from Lourie day Bell's third marriage.

46
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.800
Her eldest son, Colby Ryan from her second marriage, remembered

47
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.919
as a generous man. My father, Charles Valow cared for

48
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.080
his family. He took care of our family, and he

49
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.479
made sure we had a good life, Ryan said. But

50
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.719
then he turned to his mother with words that cut

51
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.000
to the bone. I believe that Lorie Valo herself is

52
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.879
the family tragedy. Judge Justin Bureski said Valodabl has shown

53
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.199
blatant disregard for humanity, and he refuted her claim that

54
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.719
she didn't get a fair trial in Arizona. You should

55
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.280
never be released from prison, Bireski said before handing down

56
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.319
the sentence. Eventually, the camera that you seek out, the

57
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.159
media requests will lessen over time, and you will fade

58
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.840
into obscurity. This was a judge who had clearly been

59
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.680
moved by what he'd witnessed, not just the crime, but

60
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.840
the complete absence of remorse from the defendant. The sentences

61
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.199
were significant, two life sentences to be served consecutively with

62
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.199
the Idaho sentences. This means Laurie will never ever walk

63
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.560
free again. But perhaps most chilling was Laurie's response when

64
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.120
given the opportunity to address the court. Laurie day Bell

65
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.120
refused any responsibility at her sentencing for her two Arizona

66
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.319
convictions on Friday, telling the court that if I was accountable,

67
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.600
I would acknowledge it and let you know how sorry

68
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.759
I am. Instead of showing remorse, day Bell told the

69
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.560
court that Tylee, JJ, Charles and Tammy are happy and

70
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.839
busy in heaven and have told her they are content.

71
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.079
She also complained about jail conditions, saying the conditions of

72
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.279
this jail are not for long term confinement, no access

73
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.160
to sunlight or good nutrition. They offer you a vitamin

74
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.399
D supplement. It's inhumane. Think about that for a moment.

75
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.839
A woman who murdered her own children, who conspired to

76
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.920
kill her husband for insurance money, who destroyed multiple families,

77
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.160
spent her final court appearance complaining about vitamin D supplements.

78
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.920
This is narcissism in its purest, most evil form. Even

79
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.399
facing life in prison, Laurie de Bell believes she's the victim.

80
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.800
One of the most remarkable moments came from Brandon Boudreau,

81
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.439
the man Laurie tried to have killed. No one deserves

82
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.959
to live a life of fear and trauma, Boudreau said tearfully.

83
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.360
He said he has forgiven Valor dabl so he can

84
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.759
be a better person and father, but that he wouldn't

85
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.399
feel safe if she had freedom. The betrayal by someone

86
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.120
connected to my family has left me battling overwhelming emotions

87
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:37.160
over the years, he said, his voice shaky. I felt fear, paranoia,

88
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:44.680
I lived with constant vigilance, loneliness, regret, sadness, depression, anger, heartache,

89
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.319
and embarrassment. But he chose forgiveness, not for Laurie's sake,

90
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.959
but for his own healing. This is what grace looks

91
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.319
like in the face of evil. While Laurie showed no remorse,

92
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.959
Brandon chose to free himself from hatred while still demand

93
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.560
ending justice. The two life sentences will be served consecutively

94
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.839
with the three life sentences issued in the Idaho case

95
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.360
for the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan and jj Vallo,

96
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.800
as well as conspiracy to kill Chad da Bell's first wife,

97
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.839
Tammy Day Bell Lourie Day Bell, age fifty one, will

98
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.480
now spend the rest of her life in prison. She

99
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.360
will never see freedom again. She will never hurt another family.

100
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.920
The children she killed will never grow up, but their

101
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.879
killer will grow old and die behind bars. And Chad

102
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.800
Dabell he sits on death row in Idaho, awaiting execution

103
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.360
for his role in this unholy alliance. The Valo da

104
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.040
Bell saga is finally over, seven years after it began

105
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.879
with missing children reports. Justice has been served. Five people

106
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.920
are dead, but their killers will pay with their freedom

107
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.120
and in Chad's case, his life back. In a moment,

108
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.879
while Laurie Dabell's case was ending in Arizona, another medical

109
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.199
murder trial was reaching its climax. In Colorado, James Craig,

110
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.680
the Aurora dentist accused of slowly poisoning his wife Angelo

111
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.000
with cyanide laced protein shakes, faced devastating testimony from the

112
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.720
lead detective who investigated his crimes. The lead detective in

113
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.800
the criminal case against the Aurora dentist accused of murdering

114
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.240
his wife by poisoning her workout smoothies in twenty twenty three,

115
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:38.720
testified in court Friday. Detective Bobby Olsen, the same investigator

116
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.240
Craig allegedly tried to have killed from jail, presented evidence

117
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.199
that painted a picture of calculated, methodical murder disguised as

118
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.000
loving care. The most damning evidence came from the Craig

119
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:55.120
family's own home security system. Prosecutors then presented surveillance footage

120
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.079
collected from the Craig home as part of their criminal investigation,

121
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.600
which spanned over one thousand hours of video taken between

122
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.360
February and March of twenty twenty three. Olsen then talked

123
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.920
about a piece of surveillance video recorded in the early

124
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.839
hours of March sixth, twenty twenty three, which showed James

125
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.279
Craig microwaving and mixing something, with prosecutors calling attention to

126
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.639
a cup with a pink lid on the counter, which

127
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.040
they said the court will see again in a different clip.

128
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.439
Think about that timeline. March sixth was the day Angela

129
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.959
first got sick after drinking her morning protein shake. And

130
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.320
there's James Craig in the early morning hours, captured on

131
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.039
his own security cameras, preparing something in the kitchen. The

132
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.519
footage then jumps to Angela Craig drinking something, and then

133
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.879
another one shows the couple chatting in the kitchen. You

134
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.360
look kind of pale. You feel okay? James asks Angela.

135
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.480
The sick irony of that moment is almost unbearable. James Craig,

136
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.720
who had just finished poisoning his wife's drink, asking her

137
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.679
if she feels okay. It's a level of cruelty that's

138
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.919
hard to comprehend. But prosecutors weren't finished. Prosecutors then presented

139
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.399
more surveillance footage from inside the Craig home on March ninth,

140
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.759
twenty twenty three, showing kitchen video of James Craig handling

141
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.960
a shaker bottle and a white cup at around five

142
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.320
am that day. Another clip then showed James Craig bringing

143
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.000
the shaker bottle to Angela Craig, who was sitting on

144
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.559
the couch about an hour later. March ninth was the

145
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.840
day Angela collapsed at home and had to be rushed

146
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.799
to the hospital with severe poisoning symptoms. And again there's

147
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:36.480
James Craig on camera preparing her mourning shake at five am,

148
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.039
then personally delivering it to her. This wasn't a crime

149
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.360
of passion. This wasn't a moment of rage. This was systematic,

150
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:49.000
premeditated murder carried out over multiple days, with James Craig

151
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:53.759
carefully documenting his own crimes on security footage. Perhaps most

152
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.840
chilling was the surveillance footage from the hospital where Angela

153
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.759
was fighting for her life. Part of the video shows

154
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.120
ja James Craig in the hospital as he walks into

155
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.159
a restroom after leaving Angela Craig's room, and then walking

156
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.639
out with a small clear object in his hand as

157
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.240
he walks back towards Angela's room. About a minute later,

158
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.679
the suspect is seen leaving her room and going to

159
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.440
the nurses stations, where he points at his arm before

160
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.360
the nurses rush into her room. Prosecutors believe this footage

161
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.279
shows James Craig administering the final fatal dose of cyanide

162
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.279
to his wife while she was hospitalized and fighting for

163
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.519
her life. Even in the hospital surrounded by medical professionals

164
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.320
trying to save Angela, James Craig was still trying to

165
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:39.360
kill her. When James Craig was finally arrested, investigators found

166
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.919
a four page note on his iPhone that tried to

167
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.720
frame Angela for her own death. Prosecutors then presented a

168
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.679
four page iPhone note written on March sixteenth at one

169
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.879
three a m. Which Olsen said was the first written

170
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.879
statement James Craig presented to investigators about what supposedly happened

171
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.919
to Angela Craig. The note claimed Angela had asked for

172
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:04.039
help obtaining poisons to kill herself. It read, I told

173
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.039
her there was no way I was going to administer

174
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.320
these to her. This was her idea. All I would

175
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.639
do is prepare the dosing so she could choose what

176
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.240
to do. But here's the problem with James Craig's lies.

177
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.039
Prosecutors then asked Olsen if Angela Craig's search history showed

178
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.679
any such queries in her browser history. Which Olson denied.

179
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:29.519
Angela Craig never searched for information about poisons. Her Internet

180
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.919
history showed no evidence of suicidal ideation or research into

181
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.480
methods of self harm. James Craig created this entire narrative

182
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:43.000
to cover up his systematic murder of his wife. Olson

183
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.000
also touched on the life insurance policies that the couple had,

184
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.519
one from Kansas City Life Records and Lincoln Life Insurance,

185
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.799
where the suspect was listed as the beneficiary. Combined, the

186
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.799
total life insurance coverage was worth four million dollars, according

187
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.759
to Olson, four million dollars. That was the price James

188
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.000
Craig put on his wife's life. Combined with his desire

189
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.919
to be with his Texas mistress, it provided the motive

190
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.240
for systematic murder disguised as caring medical attention. The James

191
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.600
Craig trial continues this week and will be following every

192
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.480
development as prosecutors present their case against this medical monster.

193
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.600
Our final story takes us to Florida, where a jury

194
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.039
has recommended Shelby Neely be put to death for the

195
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.240
murders of Richard Avansych, Laura Avansych, and Nicholas Avansych after

196
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.799
he previously pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated cruelty and

197
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.960
first degree murder. This case represents family annihilation in its

198
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.600
most calculated form. Prosecutors say Neely killed Jamie in January

199
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.000
twenty eighteen and tricked her family into thinking she was

200
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.840
alive by using her phone to send texts and photos

201
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.120
of their children. When her parents demanded to see her,

202
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.720
Neely and his children traveled to Florida in December twenty

203
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.480
eighteen under the pretext of a family vacation and killed

204
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.879
his in laws. Think about the planning involved in this crime.

205
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.480
Neelie murdered his wife Jamie, then spent nearly a year

206
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.039
pretending she was alive, using her phone to send messages

207
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.399
to her family. When they became suspicious and demanded to

208
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.480
see her, he drove to Florida and murdered them rather

209
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:23.519
than face the consequences of his lies. The emotional testimony

210
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.679
from the surviving family members painted a picture of a

211
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:32.279
loving family destroyed by one man's selfish cruelty. Pointing at

212
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.559
Neelie in the courtroom, he concluded his statement by saying

213
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.000
they were all taken away by him. A Spenser hearing,

214
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.759
which is required by Florida law, was set for December ninth.

215
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.799
The hearing allows defense attorneys to present additional evidence and

216
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.879
appeal directly to the judge before a formal sentence is imposed.

217
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.200
The judge can adhere to the jury's recommendation of death

218
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.799
or opt to give Neeli life without parole. While the

219
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.759
final sentencing isn't complete, the jury's recommendation sends a clear

220
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.879
message systematic family annihilation followed by elaborate cover ups, deserves

221
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:13.799
the ultimate punishment. What connects all three of these cases,

222
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.279
Lourie Dabell, James Craig, and Shelby Neely is the calculated

223
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.600
nature of their crimes and their complete absence of remorse.

224
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.519
These weren't crimes of passion or moments of poor judgment.

225
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.399
These were systematic, planned murders, carried out by people who

226
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:33.639
convinced themselves they were justified in eliminating the inconvenient people

227
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.120
in their lives. Laurie Dabell used religious delusion to justify

228
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.360
murdering her own children. James Craig used his medical knowledge

229
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.240
to slowly torture his wife to death. Shelby Neely used

230
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.879
deception and manipulation to cover up one murder, then committed

231
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.799
three more to maintain his lies. All three cases show

232
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.879
how the most dangerous criminals are often the ones who

233
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.600
look most normal. On the surface, these weren't obviously dangerous people.

234
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.679
They were a religious mother, a respected dentist, and a

235
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.679
family man, But beneath those facades were narcissists who saw

236
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:14.120
other people as obstacles to their selfish desires. The justice

237
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.279
system worked in all three cases. Laurie da Bell will

238
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.879
never walk free, James Craig faces life in prison or death.

239
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.000
Shelby Neely will likely be executed, but the families they

240
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.960
destroyed will never be whole again. These cases also show

241
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.879
the importance of listening to warning signs. Charles Valo went

242
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.399
to police months before his death, warning them about Laurie's

243
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:41.600
dangerous beliefs. Angela Craig's family and friends noticed James's strange

244
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.480
behavior during her illness. Jamie Ivonsich's family became suspicious when

245
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.639
they couldn't speak to her directly. When people show you

246
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.720
who they are through their actions, believe them. When family

247
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.960
members raise concerns about abuse or strange behavior, take them seriously.

248
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.919
The warning signs are often there, just need to recognize

249
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.639
them before it's too late. Today marks the end of

250
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.360
the Loriie day Bell saga and significant developments in two

251
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:13.399
other family annihilation cases. These stories remind us that evil

252
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:18.000
often hides behind familiar faces and trusted relationships. The most

253
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.720
dangerous people in our lives are sometimes the ones who

254
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.080
claim to love us most. But they also show that justice,

255
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:29.120
while sometimes slow, is often inevitable. Lurie da Bell thought

256
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.320
she was chosen by God for a special mission, but

257
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.279
she'll die in prison. James Craig thought he could commit

258
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.399
the perfect medical murder, but his own arrogance created the

259
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.559
evidence that will convict him. Shelby Neely thought he could

260
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:46.000
eliminate an entire family to cover his lies, but truth

261
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.759
has a way of emerging from even the deepest graves.

262
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.799
That's celebrity trials for today. I'm read Carter. Remember the

263
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:58.200
most important lesson from cases like this isn't just how

264
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.080
people become killers, but how now we can recognize the

265
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.279
warning signs before innocent people pay the price. Justice isn't

266
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.359
always merciful, but it's absolutely riveting. See you back here

267
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.240
tomorrow for more developments from the Craig trial and whatever

268
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.359
new courtroom drama America delivers
