is Hidden Killers Week in review.
0:02
I look back at the most prolific stories of
0:04
the week. This is Hidden
0:06
Killers with Tony Bruski.
0:08
Here now, Tony Bruski. I,
0:11
uh, I'm going to show this. Um, I've
0:13
been kind of holding this. Um, and
0:15
I know there's tons of videos out there
0:17
showing, you know, here's how it could
0:19
have possibly happened. But I saw one the
0:21
other day, a listener sent this to
0:23
me and I'm like, that's an interesting one.
0:25
Like, cause she talks about the, her
0:28
three point turn and things of that. Let's
0:30
take a look at this. And this
0:32
is I thought it really gave some light
0:34
into how maybe some of those arm
0:36
injuries took place. The scratches, you know, where
0:38
they say it looks like a dog
0:40
mark, but it could also be, you
0:42
know, shards of plastic that
0:44
could cause it if you're
0:46
crawling through it. Again,
0:48
this is not my video. This is on
0:50
YouTube. Let's let's
0:52
just take a quick look at this.
0:54
And I want to get your thoughts
0:56
and let's watch this for a moment.
1:03
So this is Karen doing the three
1:05
point turn. Let's see the slight side
1:07
swipe there. Probably didn't even realize. Backing
1:12
up, maybe knocking him
1:14
again. Again, not
1:16
possibly even realizing it, but
1:19
again, didn't look mortally wounded. So
1:22
he's could have been laying there for a little bit
1:25
kind of in shock as to what just happened. I
1:28
think here's a little more in depth. run
1:33
of the video. Okay,
1:36
here it is. Here's getting out
1:38
for those listening. Drinking
1:41
hand. Starts
1:45
walking up to the side of the car, maybe
1:47
going over to say something to the window. She's
1:50
leaving. Maybe
1:53
he falls over. Throws
1:56
a drink at the back of the car. We've talked
1:58
about that before, which may be where the tail
2:00
light could have happened. Uh, and
2:02
then proceeds to kind of crawl
2:04
through the yard to get to his
2:06
phone through maybe that debris field
2:09
of, of plastic from
2:11
the broken tail
2:13
light, if that's what happened. And
2:16
eventually that's where John
2:18
dies. Um, I don't know. Wouldn't
2:20
that be the bottom of his forearm? if
2:23
you're kind of like, uh, I mean, that's,
2:25
that was my first thought. That
2:27
was my first thought too. But if you're
2:29
struck and maybe, maybe this is not
2:31
in the greatest shape at that moment. And,
2:33
you know, if you're going through that
2:35
debris field, you would hit forearm, but I
2:37
think you might also get a bit
2:39
of side swipe through that if you're just
2:41
kind of in that sort of incapacitated
2:44
position. I don't see it being impossible.
2:46
I don't see it. I don't know. I don't,
2:49
what was your thought? I mean, if I'm
2:51
the state. Yeah. On the
2:53
Commonwealth, I'm not throwing that shit up there.
2:55
No. I mean, do you think they're going
2:57
to show anything up there? They're going to show any
2:59
sort of reconstruction of what happened? Because, I mean, it's.
3:01
mean, I, I don't know. Because
3:03
like, I mean,
3:06
I like, I like. What? Because
3:09
I thinking could have gotten those injuries
3:11
from not even even the tail light,
3:13
just. It's talking sticks or something on
3:15
the ground just whatever's in someone's yard
3:17
in that time of the year when
3:19
you're not maintaining your yard and You
3:21
get scratched up if you're literally crawling
3:23
through the yard, but again, I don't
3:25
know I it's that's the question. How
3:27
did he get there? I don't think
3:29
it's a crazy idea that he fell
3:31
and had nothing to do with the
3:33
vehicle Gets up, you know, he kind of
3:35
shocked you know goes over sits down
3:38
for a minute picks up his phone or
3:40
whatever and tries to kind of gain
3:42
his His, you know, senses and then, you
3:44
know, the injuries of
3:46
falling take place and he
3:48
succumbs to that. Yeah,
3:51
I don't. And then the coyote comes
3:53
over. I mean, the injuries on the
3:55
arm are the most mysterious things to
3:57
me in terms of, I just
3:59
like that, like a debris
4:01
feeling. How the fuck
4:03
is that plastic getting 10
4:05
feet yard? Well, that too. Yeah. I mean,
4:08
come on, dude. I know. We have
4:10
to use common sense. I know. To me,
4:12
though, the whole thing is, if
4:14
Procter isn't the one who
4:16
planted it, then to me, the
4:18
most reasonable explanation has always
4:20
been that the plow tossed
4:22
it up there. Sure. The plow
4:24
came through. Yeah. I
4:27
mean, I don't know how
4:29
many feet. I mean, I live in a
4:31
snowy area. Yeah. I know that they, like,
4:33
Flowers can propel shit, you know, they can.
4:35
There's no question that when they're coming in,
4:37
when they're coming in 15, 20 miles an
4:39
hour and they got that that blade tilted.
4:42
Yeah. I mean, they're getting shit over to
4:44
the side of the road. Yeah. How far
4:46
that kind of stuff would fly. I don't
4:48
think it's beyond the scope. No. I I
4:50
think that it would flow 10 feet. I
4:52
would say, yeah. that point, John O 'Keeffe's
4:54
already there. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean?
4:56
The debris field doesn't exist. I
4:59
don't know. Yeah. There's I know there's just
5:01
so many inconsistencies. But yeah, having grown up
5:03
up there, too. You get 10 feet
5:05
into your yard and a really snowy
5:07
time is going to be the debris of
5:09
whatever the plow flew up onto the
5:11
side of your yard. 10 feet in it's
5:13
it's sparser at the beginning. It's the
5:15
big mountain that it plows up. But that's
5:18
how it works if you watch a
5:20
plow in really snowy environments. It just it
5:22
flies. Things fly off the road. So
5:24
I mean, I think that could be an
5:26
explanation. But again, does any of it
5:28
come to us without a reasonable doubt? And that
5:30
that's at the end of the day. I
5:32
don't think it does. That's
5:34
I mean, that's where I live dude. Yeah,
5:37
like, you know, it's like I can't
5:39
pretend to know what happened that night. I
5:41
wasn't fucking there Yeah, you know, I
5:43
mean all I could do is is opine
5:45
theories just like everybody else and you
5:47
know, I mean my theory for a year
5:49
has been Something happened where and
5:51
he just slipped and busted his
5:53
head open and and maybe it's
5:55
that situation where she's backing up
5:57
and Like he's he's jumping out of the way
6:00
and he does whip these like you fuck
6:02
that bitch and whips the glass. Yeah back
6:04
But like, you know, when she's coming back,
6:06
because, you know, in an action of doing
6:08
that, because he's hammered, he slips, cracks his
6:10
head on the curb. Yeah. And then he
6:12
gets up and staggers and falls it. Like,
6:14
I don't know. I mean, that seems that
6:16
seems the most plausible to me of anything. It
6:18
really does to me, too, man. And people
6:20
are like, well, where do the arm things come?
6:23
People hate my coyote shit. I
6:25
don't give a fuck. I'm like, I like, I'm
6:27
not going to die on the coyote hill. But
6:29
don't sit here and tell me it's not
6:31
a possibility. It is a possibility. I
6:33
tried to drag him into like coyotes just
6:35
don't eat. their shit out in like open
6:37
spaces. They try to drag it. Yeah. He's
6:39
200 plus pounds. Like that small coyote is
6:41
not going to be able to drag him.
6:43
Yeah. So it might have been a thing
6:45
where it's trying to pull him out and
6:47
it can't do it in fucking dips. Yeah.
6:49
I don't know. Or or any dog for
6:51
that matter. Honestly, people letting their dog out
6:54
before the snow comes in late at night.
6:56
Hey, and you don't watch it. You're like,
6:58
it just comes back and Some
7:00
dog found him out. They're dead. And
7:03
yeah, dogs are going to be dogs. They're going to
7:05
bite at things that are dead. They're going to look
7:07
at it. They're going to drag it a little bit.
7:09
It could be anything. And could it have been Chloe?
7:11
Not in a I'm going to attack you and kill
7:13
you sort of way more of a let's let the
7:15
dog out. And that exact same thing sort of happens.
7:18
What about the dog? Because there
7:20
is the cast of the dog, the mouth
7:22
cast, and I believe that can be
7:24
brought in this round. I think it might
7:26
be brought in this round. What is
7:29
your thoughts on that? Because that part was
7:31
never part of this originally. And the
7:33
dog's still alive, too. Right.
7:35
Well, I think it's problematic
7:38
for Dr. Russell, just because
7:40
she didn't make comparisons. At
7:42
least when she was on the stand the
7:44
most recent time, she's still not Decided
7:46
to make a comparison or look at it
7:48
to see how these to see how
7:50
the cast looked in comparison to the Theoretical
7:53
bite marks. I mean that
7:55
that's a problem for her
7:57
on a cross. Yeah, I
7:59
mean like I have never
8:01
understood Why Any
8:03
expert was was kind of like
8:05
landing on that those were teeth
8:07
marks when to me it just
8:09
seemed Way more
8:12
likely that they were claw marks. They just
8:14
don't look like I mean, you're going
8:16
to have the punctates, you know, like where
8:18
you're having the teeth in and you're tearing,
8:21
you know, I mean, if you're, I
8:23
don't know, like the only part that
8:25
ever looked like teeth was kind of the
8:27
part around the elbow, closest
8:30
to the elbow. And here's the two
8:32
other things look like scratches. They
8:35
they do and I have it up
8:37
on screen here And and there's
8:39
the two versions of it one that
8:41
seems to have a little more
8:43
coloration to it or and then there's
8:45
kind of a more raw image
8:47
Of it and when you look at
8:49
the more raw image of it
8:52
here These are not deep
8:54
injuries. These just look like
8:56
scratches like, you know,
8:58
you rug burn or something
9:00
almost that looks those
9:02
look a little deeper, but
9:04
the the less enhanced image,
9:06
if you will, the one that's not so colorized
9:08
when it looks more raw, they
9:11
don't look that
9:13
horrific, honestly. They don't necessarily
9:15
look like something dug into you,
9:17
like a dog or a coyote dug
9:19
into you and drug you. But
9:21
I see what you're saying up here
9:23
on the shoulder. Those
9:25
mean to me, but they don't look like
9:27
teeth marks. I've got
9:29
it right. That's what I'm saying.
9:31
Like I've got a 70 pound.
9:34
you know, uh, Siberian Husky slash
9:36
Sharpay, who, who unfortunately has very
9:38
long claws. Yeah. And like in
9:40
the times when I'm wrestling and
9:42
playing with them, you know, and
9:44
he uses his arms a lot,
9:46
he's caught me quite a few
9:48
times with just his claws. Like
9:50
not even in an aggressive manner, but
9:52
just playing and they don't look too
9:54
dissimilar from that. I mean, like that,
9:56
you know, I'll get the raised. you
10:00
know, like kind of the raised skin
10:02
from when they they do the scratch
10:04
and I've had it a couple times
10:06
where he's like definitely drawn a little
10:08
blood and You know, I mean they
10:10
kind of look very similar to that.
10:12
You know, so I I don't know man.
10:14
Like what I do what I know
10:17
For what I feel like I do
10:19
know is that the tail light didn't
10:21
explode and cause those entries.
10:23
No, that didn't happen Like that
10:25
that didn't happen. I like
10:27
John O 'Keeffe wasn't injured from
10:30
something underneath the vehicle. Yeah, like I
10:32
reject that totally. I don't think he
10:34
was drugged by the vehicle or anything
10:36
like that. No, any of that shit.
10:38
So I don't know, man. Like it's
10:40
it's it's the thing about this case. is
10:43
no matter what the verdict is, we're
10:45
never gonna really know the answer. No,
10:48
I agree. We're never gonna
10:50
know. And by the time AI evolves
10:52
enough where pets can testify against their
10:54
owners in court, Chloe will be dead. Damn
11:00
it, that would be amazing. I don't know how
11:02
far off that is. I mean, it sounds crazy,
11:04
but did you think we were able to do
11:06
today what we're able to do with stuff? I
11:08
mean, no. That that I was
11:10
almost going to do as an April Fool's joke on here.
11:12
I was going to do a segment where it
11:14
was like new technology allowing pets
11:16
to like testify in court. Yeah.
11:20
That would be that would be exciting. But
11:22
yeah, Karen. Hold on to you. Yeah. Allison,
11:24
is that you? I'm recording.
