"MANSION MURDERS TRIAL UPDATE: GUNSHOTS, BLOODY GLOVES & SURVEILLANCE BLACKOUT, PLUS MOM HEARD VOICE COMMANDING 'KILL THE CHILDREN'"

0:03 Callarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Wednesday, January twenty eighth, twenty twenty six. It's been a couple weeks since we brought you updates on the Mansion murders trial in New Jersey. Paul Kniro accused of shooting his brother Keith, stabbing his sister in law Jennifer, and their two children, then setting both homes on fire to cover his tracks. Last we talked, day two had just wrapped, with jurors hearing Keith Kanniro's desperate phone calls about missing money. A lot has happened since then, neighbors hearing gunshots in the middle of the night, surveillance footage capturing Paul in his garage moments before the system mysteriously goes dark, bloody gloves and gun parts found in his wife's Porsche, and eight year old Sophia's autopsy revealing a stab wound to her left eye. We'll catch you up on all of it, but first. Lindsey Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, has filed a lawsuit against her mental health providers, and the details are horrifying. Clancy claims that in the moments before killing Cora, Dawson and baby Callen, she heard a loud, demanding voice. This is your last chance.

1:16 Kill the children, so you can kill yourself, says she lost all control. Her body started acting without any control on her part, just following commands, whispered go to God baby as she strangled them. Her husband, Patrick has filed his own lawsuit, same defendants, same theory that doctors pumped Lindsay full of psychiatric drugs, ignored obvious warning signs, and created the conditions for catastrophe. And the Boy in a Box Dad Tim Ferretter is appealing his conviction locked his adopted teenage son in a windowless garage room for forty five days, got five years when he faced forty now, arguing the jury was unfairly prejudic by evidence of prior abuse in Arizona. I'm reed, Carter Today trial updates a mother's horrifying confession and a monster dad trying to walk free.

2:10 This is celebrity trials. Let's go to Monmouth County, New Jersey the mansion murders trial State versus Paul Canero. Quick recap for those just joining us. November twentieth, twenty eighteen Coltsneck, New Jersey, wealthy enclave, multimillion dollar homes on sprawling lots. That morning, Keith Canaro, fifty years old, was found shot to death in his front yard. Inside the burning mansion. His wife, Jennifer forty five, and their children, Sophia eight and Jesse eleven, all dead. Jennifer and the children stabbed same morning, five miles away in Ocean Township, Paul Canaro's house was also on fire. Convenient timing, or, according to prosecutors, a calculated attempt to make it look like both brothers were targeted. Paul rejected a plea deal that would have spared him the death penalty in exchange for pleading guilty to four murders. He's gambling on reasonable doubt. Defense says police didn't investigate other suspects, including a third Canaro brother.

3:19 We covered days one and two. Opening statements, the accountant revealing Keith was frustrated with Paul over money, the insurance broker discovering premium payments had stopped, and those wise camera recordings capturing Keith's side of phone calls demanding to know where the missing money went. Now, let's catch you up on what's happened since day three, January fourteenth. Detective Debbie Passenger from the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Financial Crimes Unit laid out the paper trail found sixteen transfers from a trust account in Keith's name into Paul's personal account, no payments going back. Bank statements Paul provided to the family accountant altered doctored to hide the theft. Then came the neighbors.

4:06 Around five in the morning on November twentieth, twenty eighteen, Heather Cap woke up at Paul's house on Tilt and Drive in Ocean Township, heard male voices outside, saw two men in dark clothing and black baseball caps carrying flashlights, then noticed flames at the bottom corner of the house. Two men, dark clothing, flashlights before the fire was fully going, Who were they and why didn't Heather Cap call nine to one one? She didn't estimated twenty to thirty minutes passed before police and firefighters arrived. Another neighbor, Jonathan Harrington, woke to emergency lights and saw flames above the roofline, described Paul afterward as nervous and upset. Police body camera footage showed Paul's driveway and garage, a white Porsche Macon with burn marks on the hood, a gas can nearby.

4:57 When officers asked Paul where the homes surveillance DVR was, Paul didn't answer, just looked away, looked at his daughter. She answered that it was in the garage. Police removed the DVR without a warrant, citing exigent circumstances. That seizure became the subject of a pre trial fight that went all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court. Day four, January fifteenth, Fire Marshal Craig Flanagan testified about Paul's house fire. Determined it was suspicious. Paul told him he had multiple gas cans in the shed but couldn't remember the last time he used them. And here's where it gets interesting. Flanagan noticed an injury to Paul's hand burns. Paul denied it was a burn, said he hit his hand on a door while evacuating the home. Sure, you're fleeing a fire and you hit your hand so hard it looks burned.

5:50 Make it make sense. Neighbor Catherine leu Casey called nine one one after seeing smoke at Keith's mansion then called the school because she was worried Keith's kids hadn't been at the bus stop that morning. A neighbor doing what a neighbor does too late. Lead detective Richard Zarrillo arrived at Keith's house. Found Keith's body face down in the front yard. Additional victims inside, Jennifer in the kitchen, another body next to the staircase, one on the landing between floors. When eight year old Sophia's body was removed, Zarrillo noticed something horrific stab wounds, including one to her left eye.

6:31 Sophia Canaro was eight years old, stabbed in the face by whoever killed this family. Prosecutors say that person was her uncle, Paul. Day five January twentieth, jurors saw photographs showing apparent tampering with the electrical service box at Keith's home. A primary generator power switch had been turned off. Prosecution theory Paul did this to lure Keith outside. Keith would notice the power failure, come out to check the generator and walk right into an ambush. Cut the power, wait in the dark, shoot your brother when he comes outside to investigate, then go inside and stab the witnesses smart enough to plan murder, too stupid to realize investigators would find the tampered switch. Day six, January twenty first, Dennis corpor another neighbor, testified he was woken up and called police twice that night, heard a series of gunshots near Keith's house. His exact words, someone just got whacked. Gunshots in the middle of the night, a neighbor calling it a mob hit, and Paul Canaro five miles away watching his own house burn. Then the surveillance footage. Jurors saw video showing Paul in his garage the moment before the system disconnects and goes black. The timing is suspicious. Paul visible one second, then nothing burned. Remains of the garage shown in photographs. Whatever that camera recorded after Paul appeared is gone. Day seven, January twenty second evidence from the

8:04 search of Susan Kaniro's white Porsche Cayenne. A black backpack in the rear cargo area inside a knife, Paul's US passport, gun barrel and other firearm parts, keys including an Audi key, a stack of credit cards, mostly in Paul's name, one in the name Giselle Restrepo, an envelope with seventeen US savings bonds in the names of Paul's adult daughters, a T Mobile sim card, and a fleer One pro thermal camera. A thermal camera the kind of device you'd use to see heat signatures in the dark, or to check if someone's home before you start a fire. Jurors also saw a piece of black nitrile glove found on the floor behind the driver's seat in the Porsche Macon and learned about jenes recovered from Paul's basement debris pile. An unfired cartridge was found in them, same type of ammunition used in Keith's murder. On cross examination, defense stressed that police photos and scene were were taken over multiple days. Hit what wasn't swabbed or collected for DNA, including door handles and other gloves on the property. Detective acknowledged fire damage generally destroys DNA and fingerprints. Convenient for the defense, not so convenient for justice. Day eight, January twenty third, high Tech Crimes investigator Detective Brian Miglioorsi testified about forensic data extractions from Paul's iPhone and the Wise home camera system at Keith's house. Jurors again heard the audio from November nineteenth, twenty eighteen, where Keith pressed Paul about missing Canada Life

9:36 payments and demanded log in access. The home's hardwired DVR unit was heavily fire damaged and couldn't be extracted. Whatever that system recorded is gone forever. Whether it showed Paul entering the home that night, we'll never know. Defense pointed out that other messages in the record showed Keith asking Paul for technical help with school and home issues, trying to paint a picture of normal brotherly communication, not a financial feud heading toward murder. Trial expected to continue for quite some time. Jurors were told it could last until mid March. Here's the pattern prosecutors are building. Paul was stealing from his brother, Keith found out, confronted him, demanded answers.

10:20 The day after those phone calls, Keith and his entire family are dead. Paul's house conveniently catches fire at the same time, and evidence keeps pointing to Paul. The burns on his hands, the surveillance blackout, the unfired cartridge in his jeans, the gun parts in his wife's Porsche, the thermal camera. Defense says police didn't investigate other suspects that may be true, but the evidence against Paul is overwhelming. Keith Caneiro was fifty years old, successful businessman, built a company with his brother, shot to death in his own front yard. Jennifer Kannierro was forty five, stabbed in her own kitchen. Sophia was eight, stabbed the face. Jesse was eleven, also stabbed. A family destroyed. Should be alive today, should be having breakfast together, driving kids to school, planning vacations.

11:11 Instead their evidence in a murder trial. Rest in peace, Keith, Jennifer, Sophia, Jesse. Someone has to say your names. We'll be right back with Lindsay Clancy's horrifying account of the moment she strangled her three children and her husband's lawsuit blaming doctors for creating the monster. Welcome back to celebrity trials. I'm reed Carter, January twenty fourth, twenty twenty three, Duxbury, Massachusetts. Thirty five year old Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children with exercise bands.

11:53 Cora five years old, Dawson three years old, Callen eight months old, then cut her wrists neck and jumped from a second story window. Lindsay survived the children didn't. She's been charged with three counts of murder and strangulation, pleaded not guilty. Her defense insanity claims she was in psychosis not legally responsible for her actions. Trials scheduled for July twenty twenty six. This week, Lindsay filed a civil lawsuit against multiple mental health providers, doctor Jennifer Tufts, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jealatta, the medical centers that employ them, and two hospitals malpractice. She says they cause this. Her husband, Patrick, filed his own lawsuit same defendants, wrongful death, claiming doctors created the conditions that led to his children's murders. Both lawsuits lay out a timeline that's either a devastating indictment of psychiatric care or a calculated attempt to build an insanity defense, probably both. After giving birth to her third child, cal Allen, Lindsay started experiencing symptoms mania at first, then anxiety and depression, sleeping only three hours a night, no motivation, couldn't exercise twelve weeks postpartum, and falling apart. October twenty twenty two, Lindsay sought treatment from doctor Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist Tufts found signs of severe depression and prescribed Zoloft.

13:24 Immediately after starting the medication, Lindsay had a severe adverse reaction, felt awful, insomnia, decreased appetite, increased anxiety, and depression. According to the lawsuit, this reaction to a relatively low dose was atypical and should have prompted Tufts to assess why should have tested blood plasma levels. Tufts didn't. Instead, she stopped the zoloft and prescribed adavan and benadrl for sleep. What followed was months of provider hopping and a cocktail of medications that would concern any pharmacist. By December twenty two, twenty two, Lindsay was seeing both doctor Tuft's and nurse practitioner Rebecca Jelatta at South Shore Health System. Between them, they prescribed zoloft, trazodone, prozac, ambion, remarn, klonopin, and saraquel that seven psychiatric medications in roughly two months for a postpartum mother with escalating symptoms. According to Lindsay's lawsuit, when she started taking Saraquell, the antipsychotic and mood stabilizer, her mental health took a dramatic turn for the worse. She reported suicidal ideation, told doctors, her husband, her parents described what she called intrusive thoughts, but the lawsuit says were actually auditory hallucinations voices. Lindsay checked herself into a day program at Women and Children's Hospital. Staff there determined she was over medicated and misdiagnosed. That should have been a

14:56 wake up call. Instead, she was discharged from the programme and without help. According to the lawsuit, The hospital reached out to Jolata to discuss the case, but never received a response. Lindsay saw doctor Tuft's several times in January twenty twenty three, in the days before the murders. Each visit was virtual. Each lasted approximately seventeen minutes. Seventeen minutes to evaluate a suicidal mother on seven psychiatric medications whose reporting hearing voices then came January twenty fourth, twenty twenty three. Prosecutors have alleged that Lindsay sent her husband Patrick out on an errand specifically so she'd have time alone with the children premeditation planning murder, but Lindsay's lawsuit tells a different story. Says she searched a map of how long Patrick's errand would take because she was scared to be alone, afraid of what might happen. And then it happened. According to the lawsuit, as soon as Patrick left the house, Lindsey heard a voice loud demanding repetitive. This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself.

16:03 This is your last chance. You have to kill the kids so you can kill yourself. Lindsay says she lost all control her body started acting without any control on her part, just following commands all action. As she strangled her children, she uttered the words go to God. Baby. A forensic psychiatrist, doctor Margaret Spinelli, evaluated Lindsay over several hours diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. Explained in the lawsuit that antidepressant medication can create manic symptoms and mood instability in someone with underlying bipolar illness. This is well known.

16:43 Doctors should have caught it. Lindsay's husband, Patrick, has his own lawsuit, same basic allegations, same defendants, different cause of action, wrongful death of his three children. Patrick's lawsuit adds a disturbing detail from a recent pre trial hearing. Lindsay's defense attorney Kevin Reddington told the court that Lindsey needs to be monitored throughout the day because she continues to experience suicidal ideation. His exact words, if this woman kills herself during this trial, where there is a very real probability that could happen, it's on somebody and it's not me. A murder defendant who might kill herself before the jury can decide her fate, a defense built on insanity and medication, civil lawsuits against the doctors who prescribed the drugs, and three children in the ground. Here's the question nobody wants to ask. Does it matter if Lindsay Clancy was in psychosis, if she genuinely heard voices commanding her to kill, if her mental illness was caused or exacerbated by inappropriate medication, does that make her not guilty of murder? Jeffrey Dahmer claimed he couldn't control his impulses. The jury said he was sane. Andrea Yates drowned her five children while experiencing postpartum psychosis. Her first jury convicted her, Her second jury found her not guilty by reason of insanity. She's in a state mental hospital, not prison. The question isn't whether

18:15 Lindsey Clancy killed her children. She did. The question is whether she understood what she was doing, whether she could control it, whether she knew it was wrong. Her own lawsuit describes uttering go to God, baby as she strangled them. That suggests awareness, consciousness, some understanding that what she was doing would send her children somewhere else. But does awareness equal sanity? Does speaking mean understanding? Does any of it matter? When three children are dead? Cora Clancy was five years old, Dawson Clancy was three years old, Callan Clancy was eight months old. They should be alive, playing, growing, learning to read, learning to ride bikes, taking first steps. Instead, their evidence in a murder trial, and plaintiffs in a civil lawsuit their mother strangled them. Their father is suing the doctors, and the legal system will spend years trying to figure out who's responsible. Rest in peace, Cora, Dawson Callen. Someone has to say your names. Tim Farredder remember him, Palm Beach County, Florida, The Boy in a Box trial. Farreder, forty eight years old, convicted of aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment, and child neglect for confining his adopted teenage son in

19:45 an eight x eight foot windowless room in the family garage for forty five days. The room had no windows, no bathroom. The boy used a bucket as a toilet. He had no control over the lights or air conditioning. Complete isolation, complete control by his parents. Jury convicted Farreder. He faced up to forty years in prison, got five. Judge cited the pressures of parenting and Faratter's struggle with how to discipline his child as reasons for the downward departure. His wife, Tracy, was charged with the same offenses. Accepted a plea deal probation and community service, no jail time. Now, Tim Farreter is appealing his conviction, arguing that evidence of prior abuse in Arizona unfairly prejudiced the jury. January eighth, twenty twenty six, Fourth District Court of Appeal Oral Arguments.

20:37 Farretter's appellate attorney, Leonard Feuer, argued that the trial court abused its discretion by allowing prosecutors to present extensive evidence about how Farreter treated his son during the three years the family lived in Arizona before moving to Florida. The Arizona evidence was brutal. Farret smacked his son in the face, grabbed him by the neck, hit him with a rope or belt, held him up against a wall. Ferreter's daughter testified that she feared her father would kill her brother in Arizona. Said she would hear sounds of slapping or hitting, followed by her brother's screams. Fear argued that the Arizona evidence was so much more severe than the forty five day confinement in Florida, said it was unduly prejudicial and should never have been admitted. Once you ring a bell, you just can't undo it, Foyer told the court. He also challenged the testimony of the state's expert witness, doctor Wade Myers, who repeatedly stated that the son was in solitary confinement for three years and called the treatment torturous behavior that could not be justified under any circumstances. Defense's theory at trial reasonable parental discipline of an out of controlled child, the Arizona evidence undermined that showed a pattern not desperation but cruelty. Assistant Attorney General Rachel Goldbloom count that the Arizona evidence was properly admitted, precisely because Ferreder's defense was that his actions were reasonable responses to his son's behavior. If that behavior is allowed in and we're

22:12 looking at whether the defendant's actions were malicious, neglectful, or torturous, then we also need to have the full context of how he addressed the child's behavior over that entire time period. Goldbloom said. She argued the Arizona evidence showed a continuing course of action, not a desperate, last minute, isolated attempt to address problematic behavior. The state presented approximately eight hours of ring video footage from the garage room in Florida, no video from Arizona, just testimony from the victim and his sister. The appellate judges seemed troubled by the discretion question. One noted that while reviewing the case, they kept thinking that was the call the trial judge made. Makes it difficult to find an abuse of discretion. Trial judges have wide latitude pellet courts are reluctant to second guess. The state also cross appealed, arguing the downward departure in sentencing was improper. Farreter faced forty years got five. The judge cited parenting pressures and Farreter's struggle to discipline his child, but The same judge also described Farreter's actions as methodical, calculated, planned, said Farreter showed no remorse. Those words undermine the basis for leniency. At the original sentencing, both Ferreter and his son addressed the court. Ferreter cried, told the judge, I have failed. The victim, now sixteen, told his father he still loved him, but described being locked up as dehumanizing

23:44 and like genocide, genocide a child, comparing his father's treatment to systematic extermination. That's not parental discipline, that's torture. Tim Ferretter served his five years, his wife Tracy, walks free with probation, and now he's trying to get his conviction overturned so he can pretend he was just a frustrated parent who made a bad call. Locking a child in a windowless room for forty five days isn't discipline. Hitting him with belts, grabbing his neck, holding him against walls in Arizona wasn't discipline. It was abuse, sustained, deliberate, documented abuse. The appellate Court didn't rule from the bench. A written decision is expected in the coming months. Here's hoping they uphold the conviction. Five years was already too lenient. Overturning it would be an insult to every child trapped in a home with parents who call abuse discipline. The victim deserves better. His name is protected to shield his identity, but he's out there somewhere, sixteen years old, trying to rebuild a life after his adoptive father locked him in a box and his adoptive mother got probation. Parenting is hard.

24:57 Sometimes children are Difficultficulty doesn't justify torture, frustration doesn't justify imprisonment, and no appeal should erase the reality of what Tim Ferredter did to his son that celebrity trials for Wednesday, January twenty eighth, twenty twenty six. Paul Canero's mansion murders trial continues in New Jersey. Neighbors heard gunshots, Surveillance caught Paul moments before the system went dark, bloody gloves and gun parts in his wife's Porsche. Eight year old Sophia stabbed in the face. Trial expected to run through mid March. Lindsey Clancy filed a lawsuit describing the moment she strangled her three children. Claim she heard a commanding voice. Kill the children so you can kill yourself husband Patrick suing the same doctors for wrongful death murder trial set for July.

25:51 And Tim Ferreter appeals his boy in a Box conviction, arguing Arizona abuse evidence unfairly prejudiced. The jury decision expected in coming months. I'm read Carter tomorrow, more trial updates and whatever else breaks. This is celebrity trials.
