What type of perverted person are you? I want to know right now. A father confronts his son's teacher after finding sexually charged messages on his phone. That teacher will later end up in handcuffs. All right, go ahead and fix a vehicle for me. I have the story of how this father led police to Brittany Zamora and where she is now. Welcome to Crime Fix. I'm Anjanette Levy. We're going back a few years to look at the case of

Brittany Zamora. She was a teacher in Arizona who admitted to having a sexual relationship with her 13-year-old student. She's now serving a 20-year prison sentence. And when Zamora was first arrested back in 2018, this was a stunning story. A young teacher accused of sex with a student she was trusted to teach. And recently, videos of the victim's father confronting her have come to light. The then 27-year-old pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child, and public sexual indecency. The investigation started with a message on a phone discovered by the boy's dad back in 2018. Now, a direct message from Zamora to that student says, hey, baby. Then a response says, hey, love. W-Y-D meaning what are you doing? Thinking about your

sexy self. The response, ah, baby, I wish you were with me. Now imagine you're the father of this 13 year old and you find this on his phone. Well, you don't have to imagine you get to see it because the dad had someone record him as he called Brittany Zamora on the phone. Yes. What type of perverted person are you? I want to know right now. You are a monster. You are a pedophile. You're a child molester. Do you understand me? Um, no. Why do you say that? Oh, I'm a lot smarter than you. I'm so much smarter than you. You do not understand how much smarter than you I am. I got you. I want you to know that now. I got you. Do me a favor. Do not call this number back again.

The next time you'll hear from me will be in court. And make sure you let your husband know that you like to f*** 13-year-old boys. And s***, I want you to do me a favor. Do that for me, okay? I am coming for you. Okay. Yeah, you have a wonderful evening, okay, you stupid. Can you explain to me, can we meet, you know, to talk about this? Is there something we can settle, you know, outside?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's what we can do so I can give you a chance to do it to some other kid. Yeah, that's exactly what we're going to do. That's exactly, no. Mrs. Amora, do me a favor. Do not call me back again. Do you understand me? Make sure you tell your husband what's going on. He is right here.

Can he talk to you? Oh, yeah. Put your husband on the phone. I'm more than happy to talk to that dumb ****** too. Hey, man. Hey, don't say hey, man to me. You got a ****** monster. If I was you, you stupid ******, I'd leave her. Man, listen. No say amen to me. You got a monster. If I was you, you stupid. I'd leave her. No, listen to me. You stupid. Okay. You're stupid. And the video cuts off right there. But then the conversation continues with Zamora's husband.

And I'm telling you, you stupid. Shut up. Shut the up. Listen to me. I am not going to settle outside of court. There's not enough money you could possibly ask and offer me to settle this. Get that through your head and do me a favor. Do me a favor. Leave. I'm trying to tell you, your woman is a favor. Do me a favor. Leave. I'm trying to tell you. Your woman is a monster. You want me to tell you the whole story? She had another 13-year-old in there watching the whole thing.

She's a monster. Do you understand that? Do you understand that? Dude, be smart, you stupid ass. Leave. Kick that out your house. Listen, man. Listen. Look.

I don't give a what you want. You're lucky my wife is standing here, you stupid. Talk. Okay. You got 30 seconds. Don't waste my time. I'm not trying to waste your time. Just stop then. You had enough to call me.

Now you don't want to talk. Talk. Please let me talk. I helped you. Then do it. Here we go. I don't want to hear you speak, you ghetto motherfucker. Really? What are you going to say?

Now, to understand how we got to this point, let's go back to the day before when the parents originally report the sexual misconduct to the administration at Las Brisas Academy, where Zamora was a teacher. Morning, folks. I'm Officer McFadden. I'm the school resource officer. Officer McFadden starts off the meeting with an update in the investigation. All right, so I know you already know a little bit about where we're at now. So Mrs. Amar has been placed on administrative leave. She won't be coming in today, and she'll be on administrativeatively pending the investigation and should not have any contact with any district employees any students or parents okay um my question is kind of how did this all begin

how did we find out correct yes how did it come to? So I have an app on my son's phone. Okay. We got him a new phone, and he was wanting to shut his door at night. We told him, you know, he used to put the door open. He was just showing more interesting girls. And I had a conversation with him, and he says, yeah, you know, I talk to girls but they're just my friends. So when we got the new phone, I put this app on his phone and it alerts me. It's called Sentry.

So yesterday I got the alert and I kept getting alerts back to back because the word baby kept being used. So I'm reading through the conversations and I've done this before with other conversations of his as well. But this time I saw at the bottom that it had Mrs. Zamora Instagram profile. Okay. That's her name. And I'm familiar with her profile name because she's messaged me through Instagram as well. tutoring and offering help. And so I recognized, and I told my husband, and we looked it over, and then what confirmed it is her first name was used in the conversation, where she, either he wrote it or she wrote it. Okay. And they put last name. And so then the conversation just kept on

and it was like he was talking to a girl, like his girlfriend. So I showed my husband the conversation and then when he came home, we talked to my son and we told him, you know, we need you to be completely honest

right now. We already know the answer to everything we're going to ask, so we just need you to tell us the truth. Okay. So, we showed him the conversation, and we said, who is this who we're talking to? And he said, my teacher. Okay. So then my husband, you know, we're very blunt with our kids and we're open and we've had conversations with him. Growing up and all that, that is expected. And so my husband just told him. Okay. Have you done anything with your teacher? Did you have sex with your teacher?

Mm-hmm. He said yes. He said yes. Okay. he said yes okay now the school resource officer asked the parents how their son reacted when confronted about his inappropriate relationship with his teacher he was scared he knew something was happening before we questioned him because i came home and i took the phone and i shut his computer off i took all electronics he could access and i told him you know you kept trying to ask me what's going on, what's going on.

And I told him, you'll find out when dad gets home. We'll talk when dad gets home. So he was worried. He knew that something was up. Right. And then after we talked to him and told him, he just kind of like got quiet and he didn't know what to say. Shaking because he was shaking, saying it's cold. Just, you know, really excited, being scared.

According to the boy, the text messages began over a school break, and the relationship became sexual shortly thereafter. The sexual part started first at school, and then the student and Zamora started meeting off campus. And so he told us that when he asked for permission to stay after school to help with the talent show to set up and make posters, he's doing good. It's the best he's ever done in school, so we are

letting him do other things, you know, like participate in sports. So when he asked to stay after and help, we didn't see an issue with it. He even brought home a permission to sign and everything. So we said, yeah, go ahead. If you need your help, stay. Okay. And he said that that's when it happened, that everybody was saying goodbye and he went back to the classroom to get his backpack and in the classroom is when it happened.

Okay. And so we asked him, you know, we need everything from start to finish. How did this get to that point? Like, did she talk to you? Did you guys kiss? Did she touch you? You know, what happened? Mm-hmm.

And we found out that on the weekend that he went to stay with his grandparents, she contacted him on his phone and asked him where he was, got him to give her the address of my in-laws' house, told my son, my husband's fishing, I want to see you. Where are you? He sent her the address and she showed up and got my son to sneak out in the middle of the night of my in-laws house and meet her where she was parked in her car. Okay. And that was the first time that she did anything. And it was two nights in a row. The first night that all they did was kiss. And she gave him a blowjob.

And then the second night she came back. And that's when she did everything. Now later that night, just before midnight, Goodyear officers arrive at the home to retrieve the son's phone to extract evidence. Good morning. I'm sorry to bother you. Good morning. You're obviously bothering them here. Yeah. the son's phone need the evidence. I hate to come at this time, but they've asked me to do this. Why so early?

Because we've been trying to do it since about 1 o'clock. But we've been that busy. That's okay. So I talked to the principal. It's obvious that there's something going on. Oh, you're about to see once you look looking this far.

If you can show me whatever you want to show me. Can you give me a brief kind of, you're probably going to tell the story a lot. Okay, because this is going to be detectives and school resource officers are probably going to follow up with you. I'm not sure which one's going to get it first. But the head of investigations has already, that's why I'm here. So what kind of? first. But the head of investigations has already... That's why I'm here. So, what kind of... Everything you think

of, man. Sex and blowjobs, everything. It specifically happened at the school? Yes, in the classroom. Okay. There was nobody else around? I believe there might have been another boy, but I'm not 100% sure. Okay. But not doing it with her, just like a lookout. Okay. But I'm not 100% sure yet. How many times did this happen? I think it happened three times. Okay. The teen's father removed the password on

the phone for the officer. So he heads down to the station to charge the phone and retrieve any other evidence. And what he found was insightful, to say the least. Here's another look at one of their chat conversations. Now, the two mainly corresponded via Snapchat, which has a built-in feature that allows chats and photos to expire after a certain amount of time. When looking through the material, the officers realized there was a video sent from Zamora, so they open it. The police also recover another Snapchat video seemingly taken in a classroom on school grounds. Or... I'm not a snapper. Ah! She's a snapper. Malaysia, hey, how are you? Zoom in. And there's another video with Zamora and two boys. Welcome to practice! This is where all you new's become yellow turds!

Mmm, yah! Um, yeah! First, we need to learn how to tackle. Go! Ah! On the scene! Oh, I'm okay. This is how you catch a football. Yeah!

Run, run, run! Go, go, go! You have now upgraded from noobs to yellow turds like this guy! Hope you got a good one from this practice! Bye! Goodyear police track down Brittany Zamora and arrest her alongside the highway. Yep. Come on. Does this happen before? This officer has a body cam on him as well. So

just to make you feel more comfortable, even though... Okay, Brittany, come on over here. Yeah. Did you double lock? I didn't. Okay. Okay. Brittany, I'm gonna turn your wrist in here, okay?

No, we just wanna make sure they don't pinch you. So we double lock them so they don't close any tighter, okay? That way you don't hurt them. Otherwise, you just freeze shut. Okay. Did you know about that? Okay. Do you have anything on you that's going to hurt me, poke me, stick me, Brittany?

Do you have anything on you that's going to hurt me, poke me, stick me, Brittany? Poke me what? Do you have anything on you that's going to hurt me, poke me, stick me, anything like that? No. Anything dangerous? No weapons? Can I take my ring off? Yeah, can you? Yeah. Do I have to take it off? Mm-hmm.

Am I going to feel the bear back on? Yeah, you will. This is your personal property. So everything that goes in this bag. I'm going to take your necklace off as well. So we'll document it. Can you unhook me so I can take my other partner in now? Your what? We'll let you take that. We'll do that at the jail. Okay. We're not going to have you. Or at the station. Okay.

And then we'll have you do the same with the nose ring too. Right now? Not right now. No, no, no. He's back there. Yeah. I got it. Officers take Brittany down to the station for questioning. And we are going to go over to that wall. This way. This way. Stop at the wall? Yep. way yep you can actually stop just before that door Come on in, for a second.

Did they tell you why you're here? They didn't tell you why you're under arrest? No. Okay. It's involving that relationship with... Okay. So I told you a little bit ago that I would come and talk to you and give you an opportunity to tell me what's going on. Okay. Obviously, we both know why you're here.

So I'm going to read your rights because you are under arrest, and then I'm going to just get some background information from you. The detective reads Brittany Zamora her rights, and it doesn't take long for her to put two and two together. So is this, is it this arrest from the school? Or was this from like something separate? So I had, like I had my school call me yesterday and tell me that I was on probation, but I had his father contact me today. So I was just trying to figure out which one it was from. Well, it's, um, it's more from, from, um, things.

Okay. Like, you know, the school doesn't really call me and, um, the school's not pressing charges or something like that. It's, it's's just it's dealing with yeah so you don't have that issue so and you know um there really is i guess i wanted to give you the opportunity because there really is um very little doubt on what happened um but i wanted you to be able to maybe explain um give you the opportunity to explain kind of why it happened kind of thing. Because I'm not going to judge you. Okay. And you said this is the first time you've been in trouble. And you're 27. So you made it a long ways. So I'm not

going to judge you and people make do make mistakes. Now, this would be a massive mistake and also a crime. And Brittany Zamora isn't ready for it to become public. Do these type of things have to be made public? They don't have to be made public, but you've kind of been in the school industry long enough to know that when something happens at a school, you know, letters end up having to go out and people ask questions. Well, hypothetically speaking, what is a typical, like,... That you've experienced? I don't know, it varies. I can't, I can't give you, I know, I can't give you a black and white answer to that.

Um, you know, they take a lot of things into consideration. Um, you know, you don't have a criminal history. At least you're telling me that, and I'll be honest with with you i haven't checked yet um so i'm sorry that's okay um i do know um i'm not going to ask you any more questions because you said you wanted an attorney so um did you have any more questions for me? What are the next steps? The next step is basically you do go to jail tonight. I submit some paperwork. I'm little. They're going to tear me apart. Well, I mean, if you have problems with somebody,

you can voice that to somebody. Okay. And if there are problems, they can isolate you. How long do I stay in jail for? Basically, what usually happens is you go down there and you see an IA judge within 12 hours. Okay. And that judge will determine what they want to do.

Okay. And so they will determine if they are going to let you out on a certain amount of bonds. Okay. And they make that determination on, you know, kind of how... I am the best husband in the world. Okay. What's that? I'm sorry. That's okay.

So you'll see the judge and they'll determine what your bail amount is, okay? Okay. And whether or not you can get out on that bail amount. Okay. And that determines when you get out. Okay. And you have certain hearings that come up after that. The boy's parents said that Zamora called them and tried to convince them to not report her to police.

All right. Can you call me? I will see what I can do about that, but I would like to talk to your husband first. That's fine, as long as he knows I'm here. Yeah, he has called. Okay, thanks for leaving me freaking out. Yeah, so I think he probably knows. Okay.

Because he has called and actually asked for me. Okay. So, your mom is also here. Yeah. So, all right. I'm going to have to have you go back in there and I will see if I can get you, uh, see if we haven't took a blanket or something. Okay.

Thank goodness that dad of the boy had that app on his phone where he could monitor and get alerts about these conversations. Brittany Zamora was sentenced to 20 years in prison back in 2019, and she's serving that time at a women's prison with the Arizona Department of Corrections. She'll be released in March of 2038, less than 13 years from now. And that's it for this episode of Crime Fix.

I'm Ann Jeanette Levy. Thanks so much for being with me. I'll see you back here next time.
