"KISS AND KILL KILLER CRIES ON STAND, INSULIN NURSE WANTS BOND & FAKE DROWNING DAD'S SICK DETAILS"

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Thursday, September eleventh, twenty twenty five, twenty four years ago. Today America changed forever. We remember those we lost, we honor their memory, and we continue forward because that's what they would want. Today on Celebrity Trials, Samantha Krebs took the stand in her kiss and Kill murder trial and delivered an Oscar worthy performance of tears and lies while her handwritten murder plans sat in evidence box. Number one, a Utah nurse who killed her friend with insulin for insurance money wants out on bond because apparently being a medical serial killer shouldn't mean you have to wait in jail for trial. And remember the Wisconsin kayaker who faked his death to run off with his mistress. New details just emerged and they're somehow worse than we thought. His kids had a funeral for their life living father. All that and more on today's Celebrity Trials. Let's start in Kenosha, where Samantha Krebs spent two days on the stand trying to convince a jury that her detailed, handwritten murder plan was actually just creative writing. Day four of the trial. Tuesday, Krebs takes the stand in her own defense. She's wearing a conservative black dress, hair pulled back, tissues already in hand. The transformation from accused killer to victim begins. Defense attorney Michael

1:34 Torres starts with softball questions. Tell us about your childhood, your relationship with Marcus, when did things change? And Crebs delivers tears, streaming, voice breaking. She paints a picture of escalating abuse that no one else saw, no one else reported, no one else witnessed. Marcus wasn't always violent, she testified. At first he was wonderful, but when he drank, he became a different person, a monster. She described alleged incidents being pushed downstairs, being choked during arguments, being threatened with knives, all conveniently never reported, never photographed, never witnessed. But then prosecutor Jennifer Walsh got her turn, and the tears dried up real quick. Walsh started with the notes, those damning handwritten notes that laid out the murder step by step, Miss Krebs, Is this your handwriting? Yes? Did you write kiss him first so he lets his guard down? Yes?

2:36 But did you write call nine one one after ten minutes, so he can't be saved. It was fantasy, yes or no? Did you write those words yes? Walsh then introduced Kreb's journal entries. Remember, the defense claimed these notes were fantasy writing a coping mechanism, but the journal told a different story. Entry from one week before the murder. Soon, I'll be free and rich. Just need the courage to follow through. Entry from three days before. Practiced with the knife today, know exactly where to aim entry from the day before Tomorrow. Everything changes tomorrow, I become who I meant to be.

3:19 That's not fantasy. That's planning, that's premeditation. That's murder in the first degree. Crebs tried to explain, I was writing about leaving him, about being free from abuse, not about killing. Walsh's response was devastating. Then why did Marcus Chen have stab wounds in his back? How do you stab someone in the back in self defense? Krebs claimed Chen had turned away after attacking her, that she struck out in fear, but the medical examiner had already testified the wounds showed Chen was trying to get away running, not attacking. Day five, yesterday brought more destruction of Kreb's story. Walsh introduced text messages between Krebs and her friend Amanda lou from the day of the murder. Krebs, tonight's the night, LIU the night for what Krebs, You'll see on the news tomorrow.

4:15 When confronted with this text, Krebs claimed she meant she was going to leave Chen, that it would be dramatic enough to make the news. Really, a breakup makes the news. But the most damaging testimony came when Walsh asked about the insurance policy. MS. Krebs, are you the beneficiary of Marcus Chen's life insurance? Yes? How much? Five hundred thousand dollars? When did he make you the beneficiary? Six months ago? When did you write your first note about killing him? Silence, Miss Krebs. Five months ago. One month after becoming the beneficiary, she started planning his murder. Walsh also destroyed the abuse claims, no medical recordds, no police reports, no photos, no witnesses.

5:04 Chen's friends testified he was gentle, never violent. His ex girlfriend said he was the kindest man she'd known. But here's what really sealed it for me. Walsh asked Crebs to demonstrate how Chen allegedly attacked her Krebs stood up, showed some half hearted pushing motions, And where were the defensive wounds on your arms from this attack? I there weren't any Where were the bruises from being pushed? They didn't bruise. Where were the marks from being choked? They faded everything conveniently left no evidence. Krebs cried through redirect her attorney tried to rehabilitate her, talking about battered woman syndrome, about hidden abuse, about fear. But the jury saw the notes, saw the journal, saw the insurance policy, saw the text saying tonight's the night. During closing arguments yesterday afternoon, Walsh was brilliant. The defendant wants you to believe she's a victim.

5:58 But victims don't write instruction manuals for murder. Victims don't time nine one one calls to insure death, victims don't stab people in the back while they're running away, and victims don't collect half million dollar insurance policies. The defense's closing was desperate. Torres argued the notes were therapeutic, writing that the abuse was real but hidden, that Krebs snapped after years of torment, But how do you explain call nine one one after ten minutes, so he can't be saved. That's not snapping, that's calculating. The jury began deliberations yesterday at four pm. They asked to see the notes again, Ask to hear the nine one one call again, Ask to review the insurance documents. My prediction guilty of first degree intentional homicide. The notes are too damning, the planning too obvious, the tears too convenient. Marcus Chen was thirty one.

6:55 He was planning to leave Krebs. His friend David Park testified to that he was scared of her. He was right to be scared. Now Krebs sits in court crying about being a victim, while the real victim is in a cemetery. She wrote her own conviction in her own handwriting, and no amount of tears can wash that away. Now to Utah, where a nurse named Heather Presty has been charged with murdering her friend with insulin for insurance money. Sound familiar, it should. This is the third insulin murder we've covered this month. Presty, thirty eight, worked as a registered nurse at Ogden Regional Medical Center. Her victim, Jennifer Holloman, forty seven, her supposed best friend of fifteen years. Here's how this nightmare unfolded. June twenty twenty four, Jennifer Holloman goes to Presty's house for what she thought was a vitamin B twelve injection. Presty was always offering medical help to friends, free injections, IV fluids for hangovers, medical advice.

8:00 Everyone thought she was so generous, But instead of B twelve, Presty injected Holliman with a massive dose of insulin. Holloman wasn't diabetic, had no reason to have insulin in her system. Within minutes, Holloman started feeling sick, dizzy, confused, classic signs of severe hypoglycemia. Presty played concerned friend, drove her to the hospital where Presty worked. At the er, Presty told staff Holloman was diabetic and must have taken too much insulin. The staff, trusting their colleague, treated for insulin overdose, but Holloman kept insisting she wasn't diabetic. The staff found this concerning.

8:41 Blood tests, confirmed insulin levels through the roof, no history of diabetes, no prescription for insulin. Something was very wrong. Holloman survived barely spent three days in the ICU, permanent neurological damage from the hypoglycemia. She'll never be the same. When investigators started digging, they found something interesting. Press D was the beneficiary of a ten thousand dollars life insurance policy on Hollyman. Ten thousand dollars. She tried to murder her best friend for ten thousand dollars. But wait, it gets worse. Investigators checked the hospital's insulin inventory, multiple vials missing from the ICU where prest worked. She'd been stealing insulin for months. They also found searches on her phone how much insulin kills a person, insulin overdose death time, can insulin be traced in autopsy? Then they found something truly terrifying. Prestd had life insurance policies on three other friends, small amounts five thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars, but she was beneficiary on all of them. One of those friends, Michael Torres, died in January twenty twenty four from what was ruled natural causes. He was fifty two, seemed healthy, suddenly died from orgon failure. Guess who was with him when he got sick? Guess who drove him to the hospital.

10:06 Guess who collected seven five hundred dollars when he died. They're exhuming his body now testing for insulin. This week, Presty's attorney filed for bond, claimed she's not a flight risk, not a danger to the community, just a nurse who allegedly murdered people with stolen insulin for insurance money. Prosecutor Rachel Martinez opposed bond vigorously. The defendant is a medical professional who used her training and access to murder for money. Every friend, every patient, every person who trusts her is in danger. The judge hasn't ruled yet, but here's what terrifies me. Presty worked as a nurse for twelve years, had access to countless patients. How many mysterious deaths were actually insolin murders. The hospital is reviewing every death during her shifts, every patient who crashed unexpectedly, every code blue that didn't make sense. Jennifer Holloman gave a victim impact statement via video from her hospital bed. She was my best friend. I trusted her with my life. She tried to take it for money, not even a lot of money.

11:13 She valued our friendship at ten thousand dollars. Think about that, fifteen years of friendship, birthday's, holidays, secret shared worth less than a used car. To Heather Presty. This is now the third insulin murder we've covered. Jesse Kurtchewsky killed her grandmother with insulin, the Wisconsin grandmother we covered last week. Now, Heather Presty, insulin is becoming the poison of choice. It's accessible if you work in healthcare. It's deadly if you're not diabetic, and it used to be hard to detect. But here's the thing, it's not hard to detect anymore. Modern forensics can find it. These killers think they're smart using medical methods. They're not. They're just leaving medical evidence.

11:56 Presty faces first degree murder charges for Michael Torres, attempted murder for Jennifer Holloman, and theft charges for the insulin. If convicted, she's looking at life, but she wants out on bond, wants to go home, probably wants to check on those other insurance policies. My prediction, no bond. You don't let alleged medical serial killers walk free. Every person she knows is potentially worth more dead than alive. To her ten thousand dollars. That's what Jennifer Holloman's life was worth to her best friend, the price of a used Honda Civic, the cost of friendship. In twenty twenty five, we'll be right back with new details about the Wisconsin father who faked his death, including the Eastern European mistress and the funeral his living body didn't attend. Remember Ryan Borgwart, the Wisconsin Kia who faked his drowning to run off with an Eastern European woman. We covered his pathetic six month sentence last week. Well, new details just emerged from the investigation files, and they're somehow worse than we imagined. First, let's talk about the funeral his children attended for their living father. August twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, sixteen days after Borgwart faked his death, his wife Emily, and their three children, ages eight, ten, and thirteen, held a memorial service.

13:31 The kids wrote letters to Daddy, drew pictures. The eight year old left his favorite toy at the memorial, wanting Daddy to have it in heaven. Borgwart was in Eastern Europe, alive, probably in bed with his mistress, while his children sobbed at his memorial. The investigation revealed Borgwart had been planning this for two years, two years of looking his children in the eyes every morning, knowing he was going to fake his death and abandon them. Here's what he did. Opened a foreign bank account and transferred three hundred seventy five thousand dollars, bought a second passport, purchased a one way ticket to Eastern Europe, increased his life insurance to seven hundred thousand dollars. But the cruelest detail. He coached his kid's little league team the week before he disappeared, told them he'd see them at the next game, hugged them goodbye, knowing it was the last time. The mistress has been identified as Marta Kowalski, thirty three from Poland.

14:28 They met online in twenty twenty two. She thought he was divorced. He told her his wife had died of cancer, even lied to his mistress about being a widower. The investigation found their messages, I can't wait to start our new life soon. We'll be together forever. Just a few more months of pretending, pretending while his wife planned family vacations, while his kids made Father's Day cards, while coaching Little League. Here's the timeline of his fake death. Five am launches kayak at Green Lake. Five thirty Am abandons kayak, leaves phone behind. Six AM gets a hidden car he'd stash days earlier. Eight am Emily reports him missing. Ten AM he's on a bus to Chicago. Eight pm, flying to Eastern Europe. His family is being told he's presumed drowned.

15:23 The search for his body costs thirty five thousand dollars. Divers spent weeks in dangerous conditions, volunteers took time off work. His community raised money for his family, all while he was setting up house with Marda in Warsaw. But here's the sick part revealed in the new documents. He was monitoring the search online, reading articles about his grieving family, watching videos of search efforts, following the GoFundMe for his widow and children. He knew his eight year old had stopped eating, knew his thirteen year old was in therapy, knew his wife was having panic attacks, and he stayed dead. Brought him back not guilt, not love for his children, but the FBI closing in. They traced his passport, found the bank transfers identified Marta, he came back to avoid federal charges. At his sentencing last week, he cried and said he made a terrible mistake. A mistake two years of planning isn't a mistake, it's calculated cruelty. His wife, Emily, filed for divorce and full custody. In her filing, she wrote, he held a funeral for himself while alive. He let our children grieve a living parent. This is a level of cruelty. I cannot comprehend. The kids are in intensive therapy.

16:40 The eight year old still asks if daddy is really alive or if this is a trick. The ten year old won't talk about him. The thirteen year old wrote a letter to the judge saying, I don't have a father anymore. He died the day he chose to leave us. Six months in jail, that's all he got. His children will be in therapy for years, and he'll be out by spring. Marta Kowalski, the mistress. She claims she didn't know he was married with kids, but investigators found messages where he mentioned complications with his situation that she never questioned. Ryan Borgwart destroyed four lives for a fantasy with a woman he'd never met in person until he faked his death.

17:22 His children attended his funeral, had nightmares about him drowning, blame themselves for not saying I love you more, all while Daddy was alive in Poland, starting his new life six months for torture that will last his children's lifetimes. That's celebrity trials for Thursday, September eleventh. Today we saw three different kinds of calculated cruelty. Samantha Krebs wrote a murder manual, then cried about self defense. Heather Presty killed for insurance money worth less than a used car. Ryan Borgwart attended his own funeral through his children's tears. Tomorrow we'll have verdict watch in the Kiss and Kill trial, updates on the boot fetish murder, and whatever fresh horror emerges overnight. I'm Reed Carter. On this September eleventh, we remember those lost twenty four years ago. We also remember that evil doesn't always come from foreign terrorists. Sometimes it comes from the person you share a bed with, the friend offering medical help, or the father coaching your little league team. The call isn't coming from inside the house.

18:31 It's coming from the person you trust most. See you tomorrow.
