"TEENAGER MURDERS PARENTS WHILE NAVY KILLER'S THIRD WIFE TESTIFIES: Georgia Teen's 911 Call Leads to Arrest.

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter, and welcome back to Celebrity Trials. I hope you enjoyed our weekend detour into the world of Lindsay Lohan from eighty four minute jail Sentences to Dubai Redemption. It was nice to tell a story where nobody died and the defendant actually got their life together. But now it's Monday, and we're back to reality. Back to murder, back to dismemberment, back to teenagers who allegedly shoot their parents and call nine to one one like they're ordering pizza. Let's start with updates from the Nicholas Casotis trial in Liberty County, Georgia. When we left off last week, the former Navy jag officer was on trial for cutting his wife, Mindy into pieces and scattering her remains across two counties. The defense was claiming a mysterious CIA operative named Jim McIntyre made them do it well. Days three and four of testimony have given us a clearer picture of exactly what kind of monster we're dealing with. Day three brought us the parents Mindy's parents, Betsy and Frank McBain, who had to sit in that courtroom and hear how their daughter's killer lied to their faces about how she died. Betsy Mabain revealed that she was told by Nicholas that her daughter died in a hospital. She wasn't told which hospital or doctor.

1:27 Think about that. Your son in law shows up at your door, tells you your daughter is dead, says she died in a hospital, but can't tell you which one, can't name a doctor, and you're so grief stricken you don't even think to question it. At first December first, twenty twenty two, one day before hunters would find Mindy's dismembered remains, Nicholas Casotis drives to the Mebanese house. He just started bawling hysterically and talking. I really couldn't even understand what he was saying, so I said, please come out and sit in the den and tell us what's wrong. And that's when all I can really understand was she's not coming home. Betsy testified, she's not coming home. That's all he could manage through his fake tears. Not she's dead, not there was an accident, just she's not coming home, like she ran away, like she left on her own.

2:19 The next day, hunters would find out exactly why she wasn't coming home because her husband had cut her into pieces and dumped her like garbage. But here's where it gets even more disturbing. Day four brought us testimony from someone I'm going to call wife number three. Her name is Samantha Colesmith, and she might be the luckiest woman alive. Interaction started through tweets, transitioned to private messaging, and eventually to phone calls in November twenty twenty two. November twenty twenty two, the same month prosecutors say Kesodis murdered Mindy, this psychopath was already shopping for his next victim while his current wife's blood was literally still fresh. Nicholas Stark presented himself as a widower who lost his wife an unborn child. He shared that his wife had passed away in October twenty twenty two due to medical complications. October.

3:15 He told wife number three that Mindy died in October, but forensic entomologist doctor Edward Mondor testified that based on insect activity on the remains, time of death as November twenty seventh to November twenty ninth, twenty twenty two. So either Castis can't keep his lies straight, or he was planning this murder so far in advance that he got his timeline confused. Either way, he was trolling for a replacement wife before he'd even finished disposing of the current one. And the shopping list, my god, the shopping list. Prosecutors laid out his purchases like a how to guide for murder.

3:56 November twenty ninth, Cassotis was seen buying a Milwaukee knife much like the one recovered near the torso. On November twenty eighth, the receipt bearing his name revealed he purchased a seven piece knife set from Bass pro shop. On November fourth, he bought a shovel and a hammer. Prosecutors suggest a shovel was used to bury his wife's severed head. On August sixteenth, Casotis made a home depot purchase that included Clorox wipes, latex gloves, and folding raisers. The Clorox wipes, remember what I told you last week. Those wipes were everywhere. There were lots of them that were recovered because the killer didn't want to leave behind evidence. A former prosecutor who knew exactly what evidence to destroy, who knew exactly how to clean a crime scene, who thought he was smarter than everyone else. The defense is still pushing this Jim McIntyre story, this shadowy figure who supposedly controlled their finances, made them run, made them lie to everyone. In the defense's opening statement, he had asserted that both Mindy and Nicholas lied to a countless times sure counselor. They both lied, but only one of them ended up in pieces scattered across a hunting ground. Seven women and five men on that jury, twelve people who have to look at photos of Mindy's remains, who have to hear how her parents were lied to, who have to process that this man was already dating while his wife's body was decomposing in the Georgia woods. If they don't convict, there's no justice

5:26 left in this world. Back in a moment, Welcome back to celebrity trials. I'm read Carter. Before we get to our main story about a Georgia teenager charged with murdering her parents, I need to tell you about the strangest prison sentence I've seen in a while, and it involves a chimp named Tonka and a woman who loved him more than the law. The chimp conspiracy. Tan Jah Haddocks, fifty six years old, just got sentenced to forty six months in federal prison, not for drugs, not for fraud, for lying about a chimpanzee, Tonka, who appeared in the nineteen ninety seven movies Buddy and George of the Jungle. Yeah, that Tonka, the chimp who acted alongside Alan Cumming. A legitimate movie star if you're into that sort of thing.

6:22 Peta had been after Hattocks for years, saying she was keeping chimps in terrible conditions. A judge ordered her to send the chimps to a sanctuary. She complied with most of them, but when authorities came for Tonka in twenty twenty one, she had a story ready. I wanted to keep trying to save Tanka if elle could, but then he just died on his own, so there was no saving him, she told them. Said she cremated the remains, except Tonka wasn't dead. In twenty twenty two, Peta removed him from a cage in the basement of her home in Sunrise Beach, Missouri, near the Lake of the Ozarks. She'd been hiding a chimpanzee in her basement for a year, a full grown chimpanzee in her basement. She even admitted it on HBO's Chimp Crazy documentary Tonka was literally on the run with me, on the run like he was some kind of furry fugitive from justice. But here's the kicker.

7:16 Just last month, investigators found another chimp locked up in the basement of her home in Sunrise Beach in violation of court orders. Another one after she'd already been caught once after she was already facing federal charges she had another chimp in the basement. Her lawyer tried the abuse excuse. This life taught her a clear lesson. Humans are unpredictable and are not frequently safe or trustworthy, so she trusted chimps instead and lied to federal judges about it and hid them in basements like some kind of primate underground railroad. Four years in federal prison for lying about a chimp. Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan served eighty four minutes for seven mists the justice system. Folks, it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a basement full of illegal primates. Now let's talk about Sarah Grace Patrick, seventeen years old Carol County, Georgia, and charged with murdering both her mother and stepfather February twentieth, twenty twenty five, seven thirty in the morning. Usually my daughter called me or texted me around seven thirty in the morning, and she would tell me to have a good day, her father, Doniel Patrick told Newsweek the call dropped.

8:37 He thought it was a butt dial. We've all been there, except this wasn't a butt dial. This was his daughter calling. Moments after James Brock forty five and Kristin Brock, forty one were shot to death in their home. Ashley Halsey confirmed Patrick was the one who placed the nine to one point one call after Patrick's half sister found their bodies. Read that again, the half sister found the bodies, Sarah Grace made the call. Why wasn't Sarah Grace the one who found them? Where was she when her half sister made the discovery? Five months that's how long it took for authorities to arrest her. From the very moment the nine to one to one call was received, a relentless investigation began, one that would span months consume thousands of hours.

9:24 And require the full weight of local and federal law enforcement partnerships. The sheriff's office said the FBI got involved, the GBI crime Lab, private forensic laboratories, all for a seventeen year old girl who called nine one one after her parents were shot. What did they find that took five months to build a case? Her father, Doniel, is in complete denial. I know one hundred percent of my heart that Sarah's innocent. She's a typical seventeen year old that lived like a teenager, and she would never do this a typical seventeen year old, right. Typical seventeen year olds don't don't get charged with double homicide. Typical seventeen year olds don't require FBI involvement. Typical seventeen year olds don't have criminologists on court TV discussing their case. Doctor Debbie Goodman laid out the usual factors in parricide cases mental health issues, substance abuse, a history of abuse in the home, and conflicts over dating relationships. But here's what's really interesting, Doctor Sue Cornbluff pointed to the girl's TikTok activity, a need for excessive attention, and serious mental health issues.

10:35 There was a contentious divorce going on with her parents, drugs and alcohol involved. Cornbluth noted the biological parents were in the middle of an ugly divorce, there were substance abuse issues, the kid was bouncing between homes, but none of that explains murder. Millions of kids deal with divorced parents, millions deal with substance abuse in the family. They don't shoot their parents and call nine to one one. Doniel Patrick has a theory though she had told us about, you know, other friends of the family and stuff, and she suspected they could have done it other friends of the family. Sure, because it's always mysterious friends of the family who show up at seven thirty am to commit double homicides while the teenage daughter just happens to be in position to call nine to one one. The Sheriff's office is hedging their bets. This case remains an active and ongoing investigation, and additional arrests are possible as new evidence comes to light. Additional arrests meaning they think Sarah Grace didn't act alone, or they're covering their bases in case their case against a seventeen year old girl falls apart.

11:43 Here's what gets me the father says. By the time I came back in, they had her in the room, interrogating her without my permission. By the way, she was sixteen years old at the time. Sixteen. They interrogated a sixteen year old without parental permission, right after her mother was murdered. Whatever she said in that room, it must have been damning. You don't charge a teenager with double homicide five months later unless you've got something solid. The girl's got a bond hearing on August nineteenth. Her father thinks she's coming home. The experts think she needs to stay locked up. This is a young lady who has had tremendous trauma. It appears in her life she was on the move a lot, going from home to home.

12:26 Cornbluff said. It seems to me she was just living inside of her head. She probably had no one to talk to about what was going on in her world, living inside her head, no one to talk to, parents dealing with divorce and substance abuse, a contentious home life, and then one morning in February, two people are dead and a seventeen year old is calling nine one one. You know what this reminds me of the Menendez brothers, different era, same story, parents, dead kids, claiming innocence or a use or mysterious circumstances, except the Menendez brothers were in their twenties. Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when this happened. Sixteen.

13:13 Three stories today, three different kinds of evil if the charges are true. Nicholas cassodis a calculated killer who dismembered his wife and went shopping for condoms on his way to meet his next victim, A former prosecutor who thought he could outsmart the system. Tonia Haddocks not a killer, but someone so obsessed with keeping illegal chimps that she lied to federal judges and hid primates in her basement like some kind of underground ape railroad. And Sarah Grace Patrick, a teenager charged with the ultimate betrayal, killing the people who gave you life at seventeen years old. But today, Remember this evil comes in all forms. Sometimes it's a Navy officer with a shopping list from home depot. Sometimes it's a woman who loves chimps more than the law, And sometimes, allegedly, it's a seventeen year old girl who calls nine one one after her parents are shot. The one thing they all have in common. They thought they'd get away with it. Casotis thought his prosecutor knowledge would save him. Haddocks thought her basement was a safe haven.

14:17 And Sarah Grace Patrick, we don't know what she thought yet, but we'll find out. I'm read Carter, and this is celebrity trials. Lock your doors, watch your teenager's tiktoks, and for God's sake, don't hide chimps in your basement. See you tomorrow,
