1
00:00:11,212 --> 00:00:14,480
[Jay Randolph]
Chloe, she was always
upbeat and happy,
2
00:00:14,482 --> 00:00:17,082
and, you know, wanted to,
3
00:00:17,084 --> 00:00:19,952
uh, make the environment
around her a happy place.
4
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:25,691
[Kristie Randolph]
She loved to make people
laugh and smile, uh,
5
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:28,260
she constantly made
videos of her own
6
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:29,962
and Snapchat videos.
7
00:00:31,699 --> 00:00:33,699
[Cailyn Lien]
They seemed happy, honestly
8
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:35,801
and they seemed like
they were in love.
9
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:37,302
[Chloe Randolph]
10
00:00:38,139 --> 00:00:41,240
But I didn't know
things were going
11
00:00:41,341 --> 00:00:42,608
bad like they were.
12
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:50,315
[police siren]
13
00:00:50,317 --> 00:00:51,784
[Jake Isonhood] Uh,
this case kinda stands out
14
00:00:51,786 --> 00:00:53,318
versus other cases
15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,521
as far as it
being very brutal.
16
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:57,689
[Chloe]
17
00:00:57,691 --> 00:00:59,425
[Mohamud Abdikadir]
18
00:01:01,796 --> 00:01:03,529
I never wanted to be
wrong about something
19
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:05,197
so much in my life.
20
00:01:17,278 --> 00:01:19,311
[Richard Groves]
21
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:24,516
[narrator]
It's Christmas, 1999,
22
00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:26,251
in Henderson, Kentucky...
23
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,418
[lady]
24
00:01:30,291 --> 00:01:32,191
[narrator] ... 36-year-old
Richard Groves
25
00:01:32,193 --> 00:01:34,960
videotapes the annual
Randolph family gathering
26
00:01:35,029 --> 00:01:36,395
at Grandma MiMi's house.
27
00:01:41,168 --> 00:01:43,202
[Groves]
28
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:50,109
[narrator] This is
10-month-old Chloe Randolph
29
00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:53,479
with her proud father,
29-year-old, Jay.
30
00:01:53,481 --> 00:01:55,714
[Groves]
31
00:01:58,119 --> 00:02:01,553
Of course, you can tell I'm
already the protective father.
32
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:03,789
Those big blue eyes.
33
00:02:07,928 --> 00:02:09,628
Christmas was a big event
34
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:11,930
because we would
all get together
35
00:02:11,932 --> 00:02:15,200
and all of my siblings
and my mom
36
00:02:15,202 --> 00:02:17,402
and their kids,
37
00:02:18,172 --> 00:02:19,404
and then, of course, Chloe.
38
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:26,411
[narrator] Chloe was born
February 10th, 1999.
39
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:31,550
She's Jay and his partner
Renee's first child together
40
00:02:33,187 --> 00:02:35,487
[Jay] She was
definitely a daddy's girl.
41
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:38,023
If I left, she always
wanted to go with me.
42
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:40,959
It was always,
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."
43
00:02:42,096 --> 00:02:43,695
As your first child,
44
00:02:43,697 --> 00:02:46,398
and ends up being
your only daughter...
45
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:52,437
...she kind of spoiled me
instead of me spoiling her
46
00:02:53,307 --> 00:02:55,908
because she was very easy.
47
00:03:00,014 --> 00:03:01,313
[narrator]
Chloe's Uncle Richard
48
00:03:01,315 --> 00:03:03,148
focuses on Grandma MiMi
49
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:04,650
as she hands out the present
50
00:03:07,388 --> 00:03:08,687
[Jay] My mother
loved Christmas,
51
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,223
I think that was probably
her favorite holiday
52
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:13,825
because it was a chance
53
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:16,428
to get all of her
children together
54
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:18,130
and all of her grandkids.
55
00:03:19,099 --> 00:03:21,099
[Grandma MiMi]
56
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:26,405
[Jay] She would sit
there regardless
57
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:27,806
of what was going on,
58
00:03:27,808 --> 00:03:31,043
and patiently wait
for her next gift.
59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,147
[Groves]
60
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:38,250
[Jay] Chloe was more
interested in the bows
61
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,852
than, you know,
the different sizes
62
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:42,154
and the different colors.
63
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:45,557
[Groves]
64
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:50,229
[narrator] A year later...
65
00:03:51,932 --> 00:03:54,800
...Renee gives birth to her
second child, Jayson.
66
00:03:56,904 --> 00:04:00,305
[Jay] Chloe was 14 months ol
67
00:04:00,307 --> 00:04:01,506
when Jayson was born.
68
00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:05,110
If he would start
crying or anything,
69
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:06,945
she was always there
to try to soothe him
70
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:08,513
and give him a toy.
71
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:14,686
[narrator] Despite the joy
of a new arrival,
72
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:17,522
Renee and Jay's
relationship is in trouble.
73
00:04:20,194 --> 00:04:21,893
[Jay] Before Jayson was born
74
00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:23,829
there was turmoil.
75
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,698
There was a rift
in between us.
76
00:04:28,736 --> 00:04:30,302
We went our separate ways.
77
00:04:32,206 --> 00:04:35,707
I ended up having
Chloe and Jayson with me.
78
00:04:38,679 --> 00:04:41,046
[narrator] Jay and Renee
separate in 2001.
79
00:04:42,416 --> 00:04:44,449
Jay and the kids
move into a duplex
80
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:47,119
right next door to Jay's
mom, Grandma MiMi.
81
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:51,456
[Jay] I had to rely on her
82
00:04:51,492 --> 00:04:54,059
to take care
of Chloe and Jayson
83
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,894
and watch them
while I was working.
84
00:04:57,097 --> 00:04:58,830
[Grandma MiMi]
Buster! [chuckling]
85
00:04:58,932 --> 00:05:01,133
[narrator]
Christmas Eve, 2002...
86
00:05:01,234 --> 00:05:02,234
[Jay] He's looking
for presents.
87
00:05:03,404 --> 00:05:04,803
[narrator]
...once again, Uncle Richar
88
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,104
videotapes the action.
89
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:08,307
[Jay]
90
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:15,113
[narrator]
Three-year-old Chloe
91
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,815
opens her gift
from Grandma MiMi.
92
00:05:17,718 --> 00:05:18,717
[Jay]
93
00:05:21,088 --> 00:05:22,420
[Grandma MiMi]
94
00:05:26,727 --> 00:05:30,429
[Jay] My mother would
always try to encourage Chlo
95
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:32,431
to be more present.
96
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:39,805
She's trying to figure out
turning on this thing, but...
97
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:44,109
...she doesn't want
them staring at her...
98
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:47,346
...and now she's trying not
to be the center of attention.
99
00:05:47,414 --> 00:05:49,681
[Grandma MiMi]
100
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,616
[narrator] But Chloe's
baby brother, Jayson,
101
00:05:51,618 --> 00:05:52,818
enjoys the spotlight.
102
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:54,886
[mumbling]
103
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:59,091
[Jay] Uh, I think Jayson
at that point in time,
104
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:03,295
he was probably
more, uh, daring.
105
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:05,397
[narrator]
Jay distracts his son,
106
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,799
so that Chloe can
play with her present.
107
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:09,534
[Jay]
108
00:06:11,505 --> 00:06:12,804
[Grandma MiMi]
109
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:16,041
[Jay]
110
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:25,417
[narrator] Five days later
on December 29th,
111
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:29,154
Jay goes on a first date
112
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:31,423
with 29-year-old
Kristie Sutton.
113
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:35,794
[Jay] We went to a place
in Evansville, Indiana,
114
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:38,397
on the west side called
Logan's Roadhouse...
115
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,801
...and it was nice,
it was a good first date.
116
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:45,904
[Kristie] I just really
enjoyed his company
117
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:47,205
and him being around,
118
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,042
and that was just something
I wanted to pursue long-term.
119
00:06:54,715 --> 00:06:56,681
He did have these
two young children
120
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:58,683
that he was raising.
121
00:06:58,685 --> 00:07:01,420
I just thought that was
a good quality in a man
122
00:07:01,422 --> 00:07:04,222
that even to this day I wil
always admire him for.
123
00:07:06,427 --> 00:07:08,727
[Jay] Chloe was
a little standoffish.
124
00:07:09,797 --> 00:07:12,063
I'm sure that there
was that thought
125
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:14,699
in the back of her mind
of, you know, uh,
126
00:07:14,701 --> 00:07:16,835
"Who's this trying
to take my dad from me?"
127
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:20,705
[Kristie] And then
Jayson was just Jayson.
128
00:07:20,707 --> 00:07:23,308
Jayson was your
typical little boy
129
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:26,178
that was a little bit
on the wild side.
130
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:29,548
The progression of mine
and Kristie's relationship
131
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:30,749
was really good.
132
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,153
[Kristie]
Couple months later...
133
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:38,790
...we were just kinda casually
sitting there, and he says,
134
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,425
"Would you marry me?"
135
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,795
And I said, "I think I might
136
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:47,799
[narrator]
Jay and Kristie tie the kno
137
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,402
on March 14, 2003.
138
00:07:52,739 --> 00:07:54,673
[Kristie] We went and got
married on our lunch hour,
139
00:07:54,675 --> 00:07:56,041
and went back to work.
140
00:07:58,011 --> 00:07:59,544
It was just, "Hey."
We just did it.
141
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:07,752
I learned that I was pregnan
the beginning of March,
142
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:09,788
uh, of 2003.
143
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:14,960
So, I went from single
to being married
144
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,896
to having two children
with a third on the way.
145
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:22,400
[Jay] Chloe and Jayson
had taken to her very well.
146
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:24,703
She's an outstanding mother,
147
00:08:24,705 --> 00:08:28,206
but she was also
a very good friend to them.
148
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:32,444
[narrator] Kristie gives
birth to baby Brecken
149
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:34,813
on October 2nd, 2003.
150
00:08:39,887 --> 00:08:41,953
[Jay] Christmas, 2003,
151
00:08:41,989 --> 00:08:43,822
it was a fun Christmas
152
00:08:43,891 --> 00:08:46,625
because, you know,
Brecken was just born.
153
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:49,528
[Grandma MiMi]
154
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,131
[Grandma MiMi] Right!
155
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:58,403
[Jay] I would say
that Chloe was excited,
156
00:08:58,405 --> 00:09:01,406
uh, you know, because it,
she was older now,
157
00:09:01,408 --> 00:09:03,775
and it would give her
more of an opportunity
158
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:07,712
to "test" her protective
mother skills.
159
00:09:10,284 --> 00:09:12,617
It was definitely
unforgettable.
160
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:16,254
You had Brecken,
was a newborn,
161
00:09:16,290 --> 00:09:19,057
uh, me and Kristie
were married,
162
00:09:19,092 --> 00:09:21,793
and Chloe and Jayson,
163
00:09:21,795 --> 00:09:24,496
so, yeah, it was definitely
a special Christmas.
164
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,501
It was just a really
good moment in time.
165
00:09:31,505 --> 00:09:34,406
Never in my wildest dreams
would I have ever thought..
166
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:37,509
...that it would turn
out the way it did.
167
00:09:44,585 --> 00:09:46,651
[narrator]
In the summer of 2014...
168
00:09:48,789 --> 00:09:51,222
the Randolph family
visit Holiday World
169
00:09:51,224 --> 00:09:52,624
in Santa Claus, Indiana.
170
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:57,796
Kristie records
a precious memory
171
00:09:57,798 --> 00:09:59,097
of two of her family.
172
00:10:00,534 --> 00:10:02,734
She captures 15-year-old Chl
173
00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:04,336
as she straps into a ride.
174
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:08,440
In the seat beside her
is her brother, John Michael
175
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:12,310
John Michael was born
176
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:15,614
on November 29th, 2006.
177
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:22,454
Chloe was very
protective of John Michael
178
00:10:22,489 --> 00:10:25,357
because he was the youngest.
179
00:10:27,661 --> 00:10:29,928
Making sure they're locked i
180
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:33,698
In a second, she's gonna
attempt to hold his hand.
181
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:37,335
Just to reassure him that
182
00:10:37,437 --> 00:10:39,804
big sister is there
to take care of him.
183
00:10:45,045 --> 00:10:47,312
[Jay]
184
00:10:47,314 --> 00:10:51,783
On this one they're on a rid
called Liberty Launch.
185
00:10:51,785 --> 00:10:55,353
Uh, he's actually the only
one that would ever
186
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:58,156
do any of these
rides with her.
187
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:01,526
[screaming]
188
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:06,031
[Jay laughing]
189
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:09,100
Daddy said they'd be fine,
190
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,102
but Mama was always worried.
191
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:15,407
[Jay]
192
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:19,611
[Kristie]
193
00:11:22,783 --> 00:11:23,848
[Jay laughing]
194
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,654
They both loved that day.
195
00:11:29,723 --> 00:11:32,123
I think John Michael
was scared and he
wouldn't admit it.
196
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:34,125
I was scared.
197
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:38,630
[narrator] One year later,
198
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:41,499
Chloe is all dressed
up for her boyfriend's
prom night.
199
00:11:43,437 --> 00:11:46,304
[Jay] Uh, this is
Chloe going to prom.
200
00:11:48,008 --> 00:11:50,575
And, of course, you know,
she has to throw her
thumbs up,
201
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:52,009
"Hey, Dad!"
202
00:11:56,249 --> 00:11:57,949
[Kristie]
We had went to the hair
salon that morning.
203
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,786
She got her hair colored,
204
00:12:01,788 --> 00:12:03,788
had her makeup done,
had her hair done.
205
00:12:06,026 --> 00:12:09,894
Her boyfriend, he was two
years older than her, so...
206
00:12:11,031 --> 00:12:12,497
...they just kind grew apart.
207
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:17,502
Chloe was a very
dedicated student,
208
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:20,939
and graduated, uh,
209
00:12:20,941 --> 00:12:25,143
with an advance diploma
a year-and-a-half early
210
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:27,912
above her graduating class.
211
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:31,783
[narrator] In August, 2016,
212
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:34,619
Chloe enrolls at Henderson
Community College.
213
00:12:36,823 --> 00:12:39,157
[Jay] She wanted
to become a hospice nurse..
214
00:12:40,227 --> 00:12:43,061
...and so, when she
enrolled in college...
215
00:12:44,297 --> 00:12:47,298
...she started working
at Easterseals.
216
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,602
[Kristie] Easterseals
is a rehabilitation center,
217
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,104
um, but they
have a program for,
218
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:55,740
uh, mentally-challenged adul
219
00:12:55,842 --> 00:12:57,142
and their households.
220
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,011
That kind went along with he
221
00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:02,380
being a hospice
nurse in a sense.
222
00:13:02,382 --> 00:13:04,482
It's about caring
and being an advocate
223
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:07,051
for people that can't
be for themselves,
224
00:13:07,053 --> 00:13:09,053
and that's why she
just loved the job.
225
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,525
[narrator] In Spring, 2017,
226
00:13:14,594 --> 00:13:17,595
someone new recognizes
Chloe's caring nature.
227
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:22,700
I think he said
all the right things.
228
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:25,937
He made her feel special.
229
00:13:27,774 --> 00:13:30,208
I remember she had texted me
230
00:13:30,210 --> 00:13:33,611
and told me that she
had got a new boyfriend.
231
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,215
I remember her describing hi
232
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:41,019
as very, like,
nice and giving.
233
00:13:42,022 --> 00:13:44,422
It just looked
picture perfect.
234
00:13:45,692 --> 00:13:48,393
[narrator] 19-year-old
Mohamud Abdikadir,
235
00:13:48,395 --> 00:13:50,395
known to his
friends as Gabriel,
236
00:13:50,397 --> 00:13:51,696
was born in Somalia.
237
00:13:54,234 --> 00:13:55,934
In 2016,
238
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:58,536
his family sent him
and his two older siblings
239
00:13:58,605 --> 00:14:01,606
to Owensboro, Kentucky,
for a chance at a better lif
240
00:14:04,611 --> 00:14:07,345
Gabriel is studying
to be a phlebotomist,
241
00:14:07,414 --> 00:14:10,515
a healthcare worker who
specializes in blood draws.
242
00:14:11,785 --> 00:14:13,852
They seemed happy, honestly,
243
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,154
and they seemed like
they were in love.
244
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:23,595
[Jay] The first time
that I met Gabriel...
245
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:26,931
...was about three weeks
246
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:29,400
after Chloe had
told me about him.
247
00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:33,905
[Kristie] Oh, of course,
she was nervous.
248
00:14:33,907 --> 00:14:36,107
She was afraid of what
her dad was gonna say
249
00:14:36,109 --> 00:14:39,944
'cause dad can be quite
brutal at first meeting him.
250
00:14:42,015 --> 00:14:43,748
[Jay] He was respectful
to my daughter,
251
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:47,285
and, you know, as a parent,
252
00:14:47,287 --> 00:14:51,222
that's what I expect,
that's what I want.
253
00:14:52,893 --> 00:14:55,293
[narrator] Chloe and Gabrie
move into a duplex
254
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:57,729
in July, 2017.
255
00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:59,998
[phone ringing]
256
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,500
[narrator] A few weeks later
Chloe calls her father
257
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:04,102
to break some exciting news
258
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:07,839
[Jay] Chloe actually
called me,
259
00:15:07,941 --> 00:15:11,542
and, uh, said, "Dad,
I'm getting married."
260
00:15:13,213 --> 00:15:15,046
I didn't believe her.
261
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:17,482
An hour later
or two hours later,
262
00:15:17,484 --> 00:15:20,118
she actually texted me
263
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,819
a picture
of the marriage certificate.
264
00:15:24,491 --> 00:15:26,057
Was it a little shocking?
265
00:15:26,693 --> 00:15:27,725
Yes, it was.
266
00:15:28,695 --> 00:15:30,662
They just took
two of her friends,
267
00:15:30,664 --> 00:15:32,297
and got married
at the courthouse.
268
00:15:36,403 --> 00:15:38,403
[narrator]
Just over one month later,
269
00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:40,204
Chloe reveals
another surprise...
270
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:42,807
...she's pregnant.
271
00:15:44,244 --> 00:15:46,577
She was worried
that I would say,
272
00:15:46,579 --> 00:15:49,480
"You're too young," you know
273
00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:51,449
"you're stupid,
you're ruining your life."
274
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:55,820
But I was, like,
extremely happy.
275
00:15:57,424 --> 00:15:58,923
[Kristie] She says,
"Are you excited?"
276
00:15:58,925 --> 00:16:00,725
And I said, "Well,
of course I'm excited."
277
00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:03,695
You know, and I was 'cause
they all knew I loved a baby.
278
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:07,732
[Jay] About the time
279
00:16:07,767 --> 00:16:10,501
when Chloe found out
she was pregnant...
280
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:16,507
...I started to see
a change in Gabriel.
281
00:16:18,445 --> 00:16:21,245
He didn't seem interested
to be involved in a lot of i
282
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,816
He didn't go to a lot
of appointments with her.
283
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:28,386
In the beginning,
she would just say,
284
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:29,754
"Well, he didn't wanna go,"
285
00:16:29,789 --> 00:16:32,390
and it was almost like she
was making an excuse for hi
286
00:16:32,392 --> 00:16:35,393
so her Dad wouldn't get upset.
287
00:16:37,597 --> 00:16:39,297
[Jay] Kristie went with her
288
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:41,799
to all the gynecological
appointments
289
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:45,136
and any check-ups,
I would go with her.
290
00:16:46,806 --> 00:16:48,573
Chloe was, you know,
maybe feeling,
291
00:16:48,575 --> 00:16:50,541
"Okay, you know,
I'm going at this alone.
292
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,310
Even though my
parents are with me,
293
00:16:52,312 --> 00:16:54,012
it should be my husband."
294
00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:59,117
[narrator] June 13th, 2018..
295
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:04,589
...Chloe arrives at Deacones
Hospital in Henderson
296
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:07,225
to deliver her
baby by C-section.
297
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:10,061
[Jay]
298
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:11,329
[Chloe]
299
00:17:11,431 --> 00:17:13,698
[narrator] After being
absent for months,
300
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,933
Gabriel suddenly wants
to be involved
301
00:17:15,935 --> 00:17:17,301
in the birth of his child.
302
00:17:19,406 --> 00:17:22,106
It was actually intended for,
303
00:17:22,108 --> 00:17:25,610
uh, Kristie to go
into the labor
304
00:17:25,612 --> 00:17:27,912
and delivery room with Chloe.
305
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:31,949
But before they
took her back, uh, he...
306
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:34,485
...changed his mind,
307
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:36,888
and he wanted
to go into the labor
and delivery room.
308
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:42,794
You know, Gabriel hadn't
participated in anything...
309
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:47,198
...but out of respect
for my daughter,
310
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,767
I still handled myself
311
00:17:49,769 --> 00:17:51,502
in a very professional manner.
312
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:57,442
[narrator] Chloe gives birt
to Slimani Abdikadir
313
00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:59,410
at 9:30 a.m. in the morning
314
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,646
June 14th, 2018.
315
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:04,549
They nickname him Slim.
316
00:18:06,086 --> 00:18:08,553
[Jay] After Slim's arrival,
317
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:12,723
it was, uh, an overwhelming
feeling of joy, you know?
318
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:16,527
Becoming a granddad,
I was elated.
319
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:19,597
I was extremely happy.
320
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:23,201
[narrator] Within
hours of Slim's birth,
321
00:18:23,203 --> 00:18:25,937
Gabriel makes
a surprising announcement.
322
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:30,541
[Kristie] The exact words
Gabriel said to me was,
323
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,145
"I need you to take Chloe
home with you to your house,
324
00:18:34,214 --> 00:18:36,147
and get this baby
under control
325
00:18:36,182 --> 00:18:37,381
and on a sleeping schedule
326
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:40,118
because I don't wanna be
disturbed and woke up,"
327
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,387
and I looked at him
with the most ridiculous look
328
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,490
that you could
possibly ever have.
329
00:18:45,492 --> 00:18:48,326
It's a newborn baby,
you're gonna lose sleep.
330
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:54,031
[Jay] Maybe a week
after Slim was born,
331
00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:56,501
he packed his stuff
332
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:58,803
and moved to Owensboro
with his sister.
333
00:19:03,076 --> 00:19:05,943
To walk away from your
child, I just...
334
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:09,113
I don't care who you are,
I just can't understand
335
00:19:09,115 --> 00:19:10,548
how anyone could ever do that.
336
00:19:18,191 --> 00:19:21,025
[narrator] Slim is less
than five months old
337
00:19:21,027 --> 00:19:23,227
when Gabriel
files for divorce.
338
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,799
One month later...
339
00:19:30,436 --> 00:19:32,503
...he demands full
custody of the baby.
340
00:19:35,408 --> 00:19:37,341
[Jay] After all of this time
341
00:19:37,443 --> 00:19:40,945
Gabriel didn't wanna
be a part of Slim's life,
342
00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:43,381
and now all of a sudden,
343
00:19:43,383 --> 00:19:46,684
the attorney gets in touch
with Chloe and says,
344
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,086
"Just come sign
this paperwork.
345
00:19:49,088 --> 00:19:52,223
He wants full custody
and $500 a week."
346
00:19:54,928 --> 00:19:56,494
[Kristie] "It's either
my way or no way."
347
00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:58,296
That was Gabriel's attitude
348
00:19:58,298 --> 00:20:00,097
It's all, "You're gonna
do it my way,
349
00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:03,734
and if you don't like it
then you're gonna suffer
the consequences."
350
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,148
[Lien] Once Chloe said
that she was looking
351
00:20:17,217 --> 00:20:20,084
for lawyers
for a custody battle,
352
00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:22,386
I knew that Chloe
wouldn't back down
353
00:20:22,388 --> 00:20:26,524
just because Slimani
is, like, her whole world,
354
00:20:27,493 --> 00:20:30,127
and she knew that he was
355
00:20:30,163 --> 00:20:33,598
was safest with her.
She was his mother.
356
00:20:35,602 --> 00:20:40,204
[narrator] Chloe schedules a
appointment with a divorce
lawyer for Tuesday, March 26
357
00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:46,310
Four days before
this upcoming meeting...
358
00:20:48,248 --> 00:20:50,615
...Chloe receives
a visit from Gabriel.
359
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,985
[Jay] He wanted to take Sli
360
00:20:53,987 --> 00:21:00,324
because he had family comin
into town and he wanted the
to see Slim.
361
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:07,131
So, reluctantly, she agreed
to let him take Slim.
362
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:12,036
Within the, the first hour
after he left with Slim...
363
00:21:12,038 --> 00:21:13,304
[phone ringing]
364
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:14,538
...he called her.
365
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:20,778
And he said she would never
see her son again.
366
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:24,515
That he was going to leave
the country.
367
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:29,954
[narrator] When Gabriel
hangs up, Chloe calls back a
records their conversation.
368
00:21:30,056 --> 00:21:32,156
[phone ringing]
369
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,694
[Chloe]
370
00:21:36,696 --> 00:21:38,396
[Gabriel]
371
00:21:38,398 --> 00:21:41,399
[Chloe]
372
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:43,634
[Gabriel]
373
00:21:52,111 --> 00:21:54,412
[Chloe]
374
00:21:56,449 --> 00:21:57,648
[Gabriel]
375
00:21:57,717 --> 00:21:59,250
[Chloe]
376
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:02,653
[Gabriel]
377
00:22:03,589 --> 00:22:04,855
[call ended tone]
378
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:09,093
Chloe's calling me
and she's upset
and she's crying.
379
00:22:09,095 --> 00:22:11,796
And I told my son, Jason,
380
00:22:11,798 --> 00:22:16,200
you know, we're gonna stop by
Gabriel's apartment and see
if anybody's there.
381
00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:21,939
Main intention was to ask him
where my grandson was at.
382
00:22:23,209 --> 00:22:26,844
Within about 15 minutes,
Gabriel pulls up.
383
00:22:28,581 --> 00:22:32,550
I already knew that, uh,
Gabriel had a gun.
384
00:22:34,087 --> 00:22:37,188
And instead of rolling
his window down,
385
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:43,060
his right hand reaches
in-between the seat
and the console.
386
00:22:43,096 --> 00:22:47,398
And he's opening the door up
while he's doing that,
and he sticks his leg out.
387
00:22:48,768 --> 00:22:53,437
So I take the door and slam it
on his leg.
388
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:57,708
[narrator] Jason records
the confrontation
on his phone.
389
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:02,646
[Jay]
390
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:07,017
[Gabriel]
391
00:23:07,019 --> 00:23:10,287
[Jay]
392
00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:14,725
[Jay] When I'm asking Gabriel
where my grandson is,
where Slim is,
393
00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:16,694
he's giving me, like...
394
00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:19,130
...four different answers.
395
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:21,399
[Gabriel]
396
00:23:21,401 --> 00:23:22,533
[Jay]
397
00:23:23,636 --> 00:23:25,803
[Gabriel]
398
00:23:25,805 --> 00:23:27,238
[Jay]
399
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:28,305
[Gabriel]
400
00:23:28,307 --> 00:23:30,908
[Jay]
401
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:33,744
[narrator] Gabriel's friend
Isaac is in the car with him
402
00:23:34,313 --> 00:23:36,547
[Jay]
403
00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:37,982
[Gabriel]
404
00:23:37,984 --> 00:23:40,584
[Jay] Gabriel has another gu
in the car with him.
405
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:45,823
And I, I said, uh,
he can go with Jason,
and I'll go with you,
406
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:49,293
and you can take me
to where my grandson's at.
407
00:23:49,295 --> 00:23:53,330
And, you know, he just,
he kept saying no.
408
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:54,698
[Gabriel]
409
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:56,033
[Jay]
410
00:23:56,035 --> 00:23:57,935
[Gabriel]
411
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:00,404
[Jay]
412
00:24:00,406 --> 00:24:01,838
[Gabriel]
413
00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:04,708
And I said, the only thing
I wanna know
is where's my grandson.
414
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:09,613
And he kinda went
downhill from there.
415
00:24:10,783 --> 00:24:13,651
[narrator] A bystander
calls 911.
416
00:24:13,719 --> 00:24:17,021
I left before the police
got there.
417
00:24:17,023 --> 00:24:21,358
You know, Jason, I could tell
he was getting upset.
418
00:24:21,427 --> 00:24:25,896
I went to the police station
and I told the police office
419
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:29,800
I said, I physically assaulted
this man.
420
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:37,107
I said, but, what
you don't know
is that he had a gun.
421
00:24:37,109 --> 00:24:41,579
So, officer
went and called Gabriel,
422
00:24:41,581 --> 00:24:46,917
to then which he said,
I don't wanna press charges.
423
00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:50,354
[narrator] Gabriel's choice
means that the police
need not find out
424
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:53,524
if Gabriel did reach for a g
during the incident.
425
00:24:56,696 --> 00:25:00,097
Chloe arrives
at Henderson
Police Department.
426
00:25:00,099 --> 00:25:06,637
She files an EPO, an Emergen
Protective Order, to preven
Gabriel fleeing with Slim.
427
00:25:09,108 --> 00:25:13,844
A Henderson judge
denies Chloe's request.
428
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:17,581
[Jay] There was pertinent
information that Chloe
did not put in there,
429
00:25:17,583 --> 00:25:21,118
such as the phone call
threatening
to leave the country.
430
00:25:24,156 --> 00:25:25,689
[Jay] That next morning...
431
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:27,491
[phone ringing]
432
00:25:27,493 --> 00:25:29,827
...Chloe called me
at 9:24 AM...
433
00:25:31,631 --> 00:25:34,999
...and told me that Gabriel
called her
434
00:25:35,001 --> 00:25:38,202
and said
that if she wanted Slim,
she had to come right then.
435
00:25:40,006 --> 00:25:44,375
And I told her, you know,
I'll be done in about
30 minutes where I'm at,
436
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:46,076
and I'll come there,
437
00:25:46,078 --> 00:25:51,348
and she said no, uh, he said
you couldn't come because
of what happened last night.
438
00:25:53,586 --> 00:25:56,787
She said, I'm getting ready
to go up to the door.
And I said okay.
439
00:25:58,324 --> 00:26:01,592
I said, uh, just remember
I love you.
440
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:05,729
Call me when you get Slim,
and, and, you know,
let me know everything's okay.
441
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:08,632
And she said, uh,
I love you too, Dad.
442
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:13,037
And, you know, that, uh, that
is the last time I ever talked
to my daughter.
443
00:26:22,715 --> 00:26:24,648
[phone ringing]
444
00:26:26,485 --> 00:26:29,687
[911 dispatch] 911 emergency
445
00:26:29,689 --> 00:26:34,191
[narrator] West Memphis
Police Department in Arkansa
receives a 911 call
446
00:26:34,193 --> 00:26:37,695
from the welcome center
on the Arkansas-Tennessee
state border.
447
00:26:40,166 --> 00:26:41,398
[Lieutenant Harvey Taylor]
I think the original call
448
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,233
was someone
walking in the roadway.
449
00:26:44,704 --> 00:26:46,804
Uh, this was
a very unusual call.
450
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,708
Our dispatch
sent the patrolmen
to that area.
451
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:54,712
Uh, once they arrived there,
there was no one in the road.
452
00:26:56,482 --> 00:27:00,951
Dispatch advised our officer
that the caller had moved
to the welcome center.
453
00:27:02,922 --> 00:27:07,925
[narrator] The caller
gives his name
as Mohamud Gabriel Abdikadir
454
00:27:07,927 --> 00:27:11,495
He's 300 miles from his hom
in Henderson, Kentucky.
455
00:27:12,698 --> 00:27:17,701
Also with him
was his son, Slim,
and a friend named Isaac.
456
00:27:19,205 --> 00:27:23,507
Uh, our patrol officer
spoke with Mr. Mohamud
about why he called.
457
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:27,945
That aroused some more tension
and their supervisor
notified me at that point.
458
00:27:29,015 --> 00:27:32,916
Mr. Mohamud told our officer
that he believed
459
00:27:32,918 --> 00:27:38,055
that his spouse
may have killed herself
back in Kentucky.
460
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:46,597
My first reaction is,
why didn't you call
the local police department?
461
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:49,199
Um, how did you end up here?
462
00:27:51,303 --> 00:27:53,303
We didn't know if he
was having some kind of
mental issues at the time,
463
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:56,306
or if there was actually
a real issue in Henderson,
Kentucky at the time.
464
00:27:56,308 --> 00:27:59,109
So we asked him to come
to the station until
we could find out more.
465
00:27:59,779 --> 00:28:01,045
And he agreed to do that.
466
00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:06,550
West Memphis dispatch
called Henderson, Kentucky
467
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:08,919
to try and do a welfare chec
on the residents
468
00:28:08,921 --> 00:28:12,222
and to see if there was
any truth to what Mr. Mohamu
was saying.
469
00:28:14,493 --> 00:28:17,628
At that point, I think it wa
very important
to speak to Isaac,
470
00:28:17,697 --> 00:28:23,834
because Isaac was the only
person at that time that could
possibly speak for Chloe.
471
00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:34,244
[sighing] Speaking with Isaa
was, was very tricky.
472
00:28:34,914 --> 00:28:38,582
I don't know any Swahili.
473
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:42,219
Uh, we actually
had to call in a translator
from the Sheriff Department
474
00:28:46,592 --> 00:28:51,028
Once Isaac was read
his Miranda rights,
um, he agreed.
475
00:28:51,931 --> 00:28:53,330
He seemed very open about it
476
00:29:15,321 --> 00:29:18,188
[Lt. Taylor] He stated that
uh, he was at the residence.
477
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:22,526
...when, um, Mr. Mohamud
and Chloe had some kind of
an argument in the other room.
478
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:38,208
[Lt. Taylor]
He said he didn't really...
He didn't ask any questions
479
00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:40,577
but on his way
out of the residence,
he saw blood,
480
00:29:40,579 --> 00:29:42,613
and saw what he thought
was Chloe's feet.
481
00:29:44,683 --> 00:29:47,951
I got the sense that Isaac
was afraid of Mr. Mohamud.
482
00:29:51,724 --> 00:29:55,592
[narrator] 300 miles away,
back in Henderson...
483
00:29:55,594 --> 00:30:00,931
...police officers carry ou
a welfare check
at Gabriel's apartment.
484
00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:04,301
At first, the patrol officers
went out to that
apartment complex.
485
00:30:05,838 --> 00:30:08,038
They knocked on the door,
they could not get an answer
486
00:30:09,441 --> 00:30:12,276
At that time, they called
a detective to the scene,
487
00:30:12,278 --> 00:30:14,812
uh, we did the search warrant
and they made entry
to the apartment.
488
00:30:17,416 --> 00:30:21,752
The first thing that I notic
was blood on the floor.
489
00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:29,126
Uh, there was also what looked
like handprints on the walls.
490
00:30:33,532 --> 00:30:35,899
As we made our way
through the hallway...
491
00:30:37,603 --> 00:30:39,837
...there was blood spatter
on the wall.
492
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Uh, there was a closet
to the right.
493
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,615
Uh, once we opened up
that closet...
494
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:56,720
...uh, Chloe's body
was inside there.
495
00:30:58,924 --> 00:31:03,327
There was a wound, uh, that
went, uh, round the entiret
of her neck, almost.
496
00:31:04,530 --> 00:31:07,598
And you actually see
all the impacts on her head
497
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:13,203
Uh, also on scene, in, uh,
a closet, we located
a bloody hammer.
498
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:15,405
Uh, we located
some bloody clothing,
499
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:18,141
and, uh, eventually,
after Chloe's body
was moved...
500
00:31:19,345 --> 00:31:21,311
...we located a bloody knif
in that closet.
501
00:31:25,017 --> 00:31:29,987
Whenever we initially
got the call, we were told
that it was, uh, a suicide.
502
00:31:29,989 --> 00:31:32,489
Suicides are normally,
when police arrive,
503
00:31:32,491 --> 00:31:36,093
the body is how it was
whenever someone found them
504
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:39,129
People normally don't
drag the body, hide it
in a closet, and then leave.
505
00:31:40,933 --> 00:31:44,568
One of my top priorities
was to get a warrant issued
on Gabriel
506
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,469
for tampering
with physical evidence.
507
00:31:54,213 --> 00:31:58,649
[narrator] Lieutenant Taylo
reads Gabriel
his Miranda rights at 8:10 P
508
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:03,120
Slim is with him,
safe and sound.
509
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:14,064
[narrator] Two hours later,
a patrol officer
arrests Gabriel
510
00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:15,933
for tampering
with physical evidence.
511
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:20,470
[Slim mumbling]
512
00:32:20,472 --> 00:32:24,341
Child services
takes temporary custody
of baby Slim.
513
00:32:31,784 --> 00:32:36,720
We had to go out and talk
to Jay and Kristie and tell
them that we found Chloe.
514
00:32:39,224 --> 00:32:41,792
[Kristie]
That look in his eyes
told that whole story.
515
00:32:43,529 --> 00:32:44,962
I knew she was gone.
516
00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:50,701
I was about to just crumble
517
00:32:50,703 --> 00:32:52,302
'Cause what do you do?
518
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:55,105
Your child's dead.
519
00:32:57,042 --> 00:33:03,747
[Jay] Finding out for sure
that it's Chloe, um,
it was gut-wrenching.
520
00:33:06,452 --> 00:33:10,954
The job as a father is
to protect your family. And.
521
00:33:12,958 --> 00:33:14,291
...I failed my daughter.
522
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:16,793
I couldn't protect her.
523
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:24,301
One of the first things that I
told Kristie was we have to
find out where Slim is.
524
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:31,208
So immediately, I call
the West Memphis,
Arkansas Police Department.
525
00:33:32,945 --> 00:33:37,114
But then, Gabriel had said,
I'm not releasing him
to her family.
526
00:33:38,584 --> 00:33:42,586
[Kristie]
Oh, it was awful. Um, Chloe
wanted her son to be safe,
527
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:44,721
and we didn't have him yet.
528
00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:47,824
And we didn't
wanna let Chloe down.
529
00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:51,495
Monday morning, first thing
530
00:33:51,497 --> 00:33:57,234
we immediately
filed the petition to get
emergency custody of Slim.
531
00:33:57,335 --> 00:34:03,507
And we had to get Slim
from the court at 9:00 AM
the next morning.
532
00:34:03,509 --> 00:34:07,944
The minute he seen Jay,
he just lit up and started
smiling and giggling,
533
00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:13,850
and at this point, on the wa
back, was the first time
that Slim said "Mama".
534
00:34:16,321 --> 00:34:20,190
[narrator] Four days
after Chloe's death
in Henderson...
535
00:34:20,192 --> 00:34:24,394
...Detective Isonhood
makes the journey to Arkansa
to interview Gabriel.
536
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:34,604
[Det. Isonhood] West Memphi
did tell us that, uh,
Gabriel said
537
00:34:34,606 --> 00:34:38,742
that she had hit herself, uh
in the head with a hammer,
and she cut her throat.
538
00:34:40,779 --> 00:34:43,146
The statements whenever
we talked to Gabriel, uh,
539
00:34:43,248 --> 00:34:45,782
did not include suicide
of any kind.
540
00:34:45,784 --> 00:34:48,718
It was indicating
that she was murdered.
541
00:35:03,969 --> 00:35:09,439
The story that he gave us
was that he put the homicide
on Isaac,
542
00:35:09,541 --> 00:35:11,808
uh, claiming that Isaac
was the one that murdered he
543
00:35:17,382 --> 00:35:19,182
Well, I had them
came to my apartment...
544
00:35:19,184 --> 00:35:23,019
[Det. Isonhood] Gabriel
tells us the, uh, night
before Chloe's murder,
545
00:35:23,021 --> 00:35:27,491
Gabriel and, uh, Jay kind o
got into a little bit
of an altercation.
546
00:35:27,493 --> 00:35:31,995
Gabriel told us that that
was the reason, uh, why Isaac
was scared,
547
00:35:31,997 --> 00:35:33,597
and why he killed Chloe.
548
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:58,188
Whenever he told us that, uh
Isaac was the one
that murdered her,
549
00:35:58,190 --> 00:36:01,758
and the way that he
described it just did not
match the crime scene,
550
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,394
we immediately
just shut him down.
551
00:36:12,604 --> 00:36:17,107
[narrator] Investigators
established that Isaac had n
involvement in Chloe's murde
552
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:21,811
They charged him with no cri
in relation to her death.
553
00:36:23,582 --> 00:36:25,982
[Det. Isonhood] Once we call
Gabriel out on that story,
554
00:36:25,984 --> 00:36:29,886
he started to come off of i
extremely fast.
555
00:36:29,888 --> 00:36:33,523
And at that point,
we went down a couple series
of different stories.
556
00:36:35,394 --> 00:36:39,629
His next step is that Chloe
attacks him, and that he wa
just fighting back.
557
00:36:49,308 --> 00:36:53,009
Uh, we moved from him
accidentally hitting her
with the hammer,
558
00:36:53,011 --> 00:36:56,479
to him saying that he thought
she was gonna hit him
with the hammer,
559
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:57,614
and that's why he grabs it.
560
00:37:09,294 --> 00:37:12,696
The knife wound to Chloe
was one single cut.
561
00:37:12,698 --> 00:37:16,099
Falling down on the knife
isn't gonna cause
that kind of wound.
562
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:22,239
Eventually, what we got was,
gonna be close enough to the
truth that we were gonna get.
563
00:37:41,793 --> 00:37:45,295
Uh, where the attack starts
is right at Slim's door.
564
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,481
After Chloe's been moved,
and he's showered...
565
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:42,519
...uh, he gets Isaac, he get
Slim, he loads 'em in their
car, and they start driving
566
00:38:46,358 --> 00:38:51,594
[narrator] Henderson Police
Department extradites Gabrie
to Kentucky on March 29.
567
00:38:54,099 --> 00:38:57,000
At that time,
he was additionally
charged with murder.
568
00:38:59,871 --> 00:39:02,439
[narrator] Kentucky law
prevents Chloe's family
569
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:04,708
from determining what happen
to her body.
570
00:39:07,813 --> 00:39:11,181
[Jay] In the State
of Kentucky,
the slayer statute
571
00:39:11,183 --> 00:39:16,319
stated that in a result
of a death of a spouse,
572
00:39:16,321 --> 00:39:23,293
that the next of kin
has the right to disposition
of human remains.
573
00:39:23,295 --> 00:39:29,632
And they had five days
from the date
of notification of death...
574
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:32,435
...to dispose of these remai
however they saw fit.
575
00:39:33,939 --> 00:39:37,841
Gabriel didn't exercise
his rights, but he didn't
waive his rights.
576
00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:41,644
So we had to wait out
the five days.
577
00:39:42,914 --> 00:39:44,781
You've confessed
to killing my daughter.
578
00:39:44,783 --> 00:39:50,053
Now, you want
to exercise more control
over her dead body?
579
00:39:52,391 --> 00:39:55,291
[Jay] So, after these
five days were over,
580
00:39:55,293 --> 00:40:00,430
it allowed me the ability
to make sure that I could
bring Chloe home
581
00:40:00,532 --> 00:40:02,398
and nobody could ever
hurt her again.
582
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:10,306
[narrator] The Randolph fami
successfully petitions
the State of Kentucky
583
00:40:10,308 --> 00:40:14,577
to disqualify a person
charged with murder
of a spouse or relative
584
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:16,613
as their victim's next of ki
585
00:40:19,184 --> 00:40:25,422
The Chloe Randolph Bill
passes into law
on April 24, 2020.
586
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:30,393
[Jay] It states, now,
the chain of command
587
00:40:30,395 --> 00:40:36,399
goes to adult children,
parents, or siblings.
588
00:40:37,636 --> 00:40:40,937
So no other family
in the State of Kentucky
589
00:40:41,006 --> 00:40:44,741
will have to go through
that process
that we went through.
590
00:40:48,713 --> 00:40:51,080
[narrator]
On September 23, 2021,
591
00:40:51,082 --> 00:40:56,820
Mohamud Gabriel Abdikadir
pleads guilty to the second
degree murder of Chloe.
592
00:40:59,090 --> 00:41:01,825
The judge sentences him
to 20 years in prison.
593
00:41:04,596 --> 00:41:11,134
[Jay] He got 20 years
for murdering a 20-year-old
mother of a nine-month-old.
594
00:41:12,571 --> 00:41:14,437
It's an injustice.
595
00:41:17,275 --> 00:41:22,445
[narrator] Jay and Kristie
become Suleimani's legal
parents in November, 2021.
596
00:41:26,184 --> 00:41:30,220
The Randolph family now run
the Chloe Randolph
Organization
597
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:33,556
to offer support to victims
of domestic violence.
598
00:41:37,295 --> 00:41:39,596
[Kristie] That's what Chloe
was about, helping people.
599
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:42,031
I hope she's proud.
600
00:41:43,301 --> 00:41:45,902
I'm just proud to have been
part of her life.
601
00:41:47,305 --> 00:41:48,871
[Jay] Hey, Chloe, Chloe.
602
00:41:50,609 --> 00:41:54,811
[Jay] You know, I miss
all of the, uh, the times
that I had with her.
603
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,546
Hey, Dad!
604
00:42:00,418 --> 00:42:02,118
[Jay] It's nice to remember
605
00:42:03,822 --> 00:42:06,890
It's also painful, because you
don't have her here anymore.
