Dr. Insanity - Parents Realize They Accidentally Killed Their Daughter

Episode Date: January 14, 2025

After being called by a worried man claiming his neighbor was unresponsive, police would arrive at a remote trailer in the New Mexico desert. There they found Music Adame and Matthew Bynum, confused and unable to explain what had just gone down... Someone was d*ad, but Music and Matthew unable to explain why. Something about the situation didn’t make sense... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I've done a lot of things in my life and I've never felt anything like I did last night. There's a little girl's gone. Any questions for me? My kids are free. This is 34-year-old Music Adami. Just hours prior to this footage, Music and her boyfriend, Matthew Bynum, woke up to police inside their trash-filled trailer home. They were unable to move and could barely speak. What's going on?

What makes this even more terrifying was that lying under the couple was their daughter, Zach in line. Officers would rush to get to the bottom of what had happened, but music and Matthew are seemingly just as clueless. But as the investigation continued, horrifying clues would point the couple out to be neglectful of their own daughter. All the while, They had no idea she had even done. On March 10th, 2024, Thaddeus Hawkins would wake up to a terrifying scene. He was staying on the property of Music and Matthews living in his own truck.

However, Matthew would scramble to get up after hearing screaming coming from inside the family's trailer home just feet away. He would bust open the door to find the couple and their two children, stiff and unable to move. As he looked closer, he noticed their daughter, extremely pale and without a pulse. As he went to call 911, music told him everything was fine and that help wasn't needed. But Thaddeus could tell, music was clearly delusional in her current state and decided to take matters into his own hands, calling 911. Grant County 911.

What is the address of the emergency? 97 quail run. Okay. Tell me exactly what happened. I have no idea. I'm staying with some friends right now, and they are completely, you have one, a little girl who's not responsive at all to the adult. The parents are somewhat responsive, but not they're in and out of a, and then they

have a seven-year-old boy who is mostly responsible. I was able to get him on a chair, but I don't know what's going on. I really don't. And are you staying in the same house? No, no. I'm just on the property. Okay. What is your name?

I woke. My name is Thaddeus Hawkins. I woke up and I heard someone yelling out, how, and so I went in out here. I was trying to help him. Okay. And what room is he in? It's kind of like a one living area type of thing right now. but he's in the same area as them.

They're all in the same, like, tiny home area. Okay, give me a second while I get them started on their way, okay? This tragedy would take place in a deserted area far from any civilization, so even though Deputy Orozco rushed to the scene, it would unfortunately be far too late. What's going on?

Some of the people in the... Right here that aren't responding. They're not responding? Two, one, not responding. Who's here? Shoot this office. Yeah. What's going on?

Not much. Sorry, I'm really, really stiff this morning. I get it up right. Are you guys on anything? No. No? No, what? No, I'm just really stiff.

When Orozco first entered the home, he would notice a foul odor coming from it due to the trash and unhygienic nature of the home. Additionally, he noticed a metal container over a tub with ashes. Something seemingly irrelevant now, but something that would help solve the case later on. What's wrong with him? He's tired. Is he awake? He is awake. He moved from here over to there. He is awake. Who's not responsive?

Not responsive. A little girl in the middle. She's responsive. Let me see. You guys need move. Yes. Move. You guys need get up now.

Yeah, yeah. Get up. We're getting up. Get up. We're getting up. I'm getting up. Let's go. I'm going.

I'm going. You guys need to get out. Stand up. I can't. Yes you can, stand up. Get up, hurry up. You need to get up. Got it.

Got it. I got a 10-7. Where? Who, kid? Move, get up, yes. Get out now! Get out! Get out!

I don't care. Stand up! I'm going. How long? Hondo? Check his vitals. Did y'all smoke? Huh?

No. What is it? No, it's not. No. We just fell asleep. What's going on? What's going on? What's it? You're not calling.

You're very 10. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. I'm not calling. Stand up. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Give me your hands. Give me your hands. What is this going? Stand up! Now! I'm not going to tell you again. Stand up. I'm standing up.

I'm trying you. Yeah. I know. While Music and Matthew are being placed in handcuffs, Deputy Orozco would perform CPR on the daughter, Zachaline. Unfortunately, it would be too late, and she would pass away that night. Fortunately, their son would be rescued from the home

with only minor injuries and would be transported to the hospital. But one crucial question remained. What had caused Music and Matthew to be so incohered? that they had no idea their daughter was dismissed, just inches away from them. All right, thank you. What did you take? I don't remember to take anything. How long have you been out?

How last time was the last time that you were okay? Last time I was okay. We were, uh, I didn't in the bed there, um, had to split all the oak. Okay, what the hell did you take, bro? What did you take? I don't take anything.

What do you guys have then? I don't have anything. You want me to take them to the unit? We'll get that one each of what's EMS checks and vitals. We'll take them. Let's take one at a time. I don't know if he can walk. He needs to get seen first.

Okay, so we don't know exactly what they took. They're both confused. They don't want to see anything. We have one 10, 7, 5 year old. Yeah. Another one, bad condition. He was unconscious, I believe, when they got here. And she was also in bad condition when they got here.

But our detectives are on their way. right now so we're just securing everything is you good let's go stand up what's your name music huh music all right stand up music can place your hands be on your back okay okay right I don't really stand here very well I don't know what it is I'm trying I'm trying turn around you're there Come on. I'm trying. I'm really trying.

The scene is extremely strange, to the point where the officers have never seen anything like it. Music claims she hasn't taken any drugs since yesterday, yet neither of them are even able to walk or collect their thoughts. Something odd is going on, and detectives at the scene need to be. get to the bottom of it. You awake? Yeah.

Are you good? I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? I'm not sure. Give me a second. Yeah. He's not feeling too good. I don't know if you guys want to check him out again.

He's leaning to the side and he says he's not feeling too good. Hello? What's going on? Nothing. You said you don't feel good? Yeah. Lightheaded? Lightheaded?

No. Okay. Okay, can you tell me what your name is? Do you mind if we just check your vitals one more time? I took a needle off of her. It's right there. It's all burnt up. There's still ash marks on her sweater. The door was already open. I've seen the parents laying down and I've seen the son.

He didn't look responsive. I didn't see him until I asked him. I said, what's going on? I look left. He's just sitting on the chair all lethargic. I was like, what's wrong with him? and I saw him moving and breathing so I was like okay so I went to go check on him also who's not responsive and then she goes the mom goes I don't think she is and I looked and they're on top of her I don't even see him like his half of his left body was on her left side half of her right body was on her other side so she

moved and I looked at the kid and I looked at her and it was just She was already gone. While music was being transported to the hospital, she revealed that her and Matthew had smoked amphetamine the day before, and that this was a regular occurrence. Even more disturbing was that the day before was Zach Elyne's birthday. A birthday spent surrounded by filth as she watched her parents drown themselves in drugs. Despite the sickening nature of this, the amphetamine alone, does not explain music and Matthew's inability to walk or perform basic human functions,

while a very strong drug amphetamines do not have this type of effect on users, meaning the drugs she had taken were likely laced with something. With this in mind, police turned to the one seemingly only sober person at the residence, Thaddeus, the man who originally called 911. Let's start on. Yeah. Why am I being arrested? You're not being arrested, you're being detained, turn right?

Because you're up here and as a kid, that's why. The kid? Yeah. I wasn't even in the house and I don't care. I didn't know she was... I really didn't. That's why I called. I didn't know what...

Look, wait until me. We do your rights. Then you can start talking. Thank you. Thaddeus would be taken to the Grant County Sheriff's Office, where a few hours from now, he would undergo an intense interview with detectives. But officers back at the scene still needed to figure out what was going on,

so they would engage music to get her side of the story and determine what could have caused this tragedy to happen in the first place. And music would reveal far more than they could have asked for. But before we get to that, I want to tell you about the best earbuds I've ever used. If you're like me, then you love listening to True Crime Podcasts. Maybe at work, at a cafe, you're on the train. It while I'm on the bus to work, but there's one problem with that, the noise. There's babies crying, people shouting, and normal earbuds just don't work no matter how much I turn them up.

That's when I did some research and discovered the Raycon Everyday earbuds. Their noise cancellation is better than any earbuds I've ever tried. They have a playtime of eight hours of straight listening, and if you run out of juice, you can recharge an hour and a half of listening in only 10 minutes. It even works with wireless charging. They also have protective covers allowing you to customer. their look just how you want it. And the best part, they're very affordable.

With that said, let's get back to the case. Officers are just about to interview music about what went down just hours earlier. At this point in time, music claims she had to do that. claims she had no idea her daughter is dead. Do diabetes, seizures, strobes.

I have had seizures before because I got a minor nasal cranial fracture on a motorcycle, but it's like 10 years ago. What's your name? Music. Can you spell that? M-U-S-I-C. My parents are long-haired freaky people. They really named me music.

I have an ID. Do you have that one? Not that I know of, but I have the name. having a lot of episodes where my both arms will be super numb when I wake up in the learning. But nothing like last night. Last night I couldn't sit up because it was excruciating. And my kids were all floppy. Like, we all were all floppy. I can't explain it. I don't have any it. I don't know how my kids should have gotten it. We were at their birthday party all day. Like we did not have on us at the birthday party. This is a lie.

Notice how music stumbles on her sentence after she realizes she shouldn't admit to taking any drugs at the birthday party. It's unclear why she felt the need to lie here, considering just minutes ago, she admitted to taking methamphetamine at the party. Regardless, she would be transported to the hospital where her confusion would only continue to grow. Um, she couldn't sit up, I have no idea, like, I've done a lot of, and nothing is, I don't like that.

And I don't know what it was, but I do want to toxicology to know if something is going on. Everybody that was at the party, I trust it. Are you going to be the nurse? Okay. So just real quick, I don't know if you're aware of her situation, what's going on. So if she brings anything up, she hasn't questioned anything yet, so let's just ignore it. So she doesn't know anything at all. She doesn't know that her kids yet.

Let's just, if she does say anything, if she ignore it. My kids, I'm going to eat you. All we had to eat you had this thing was some chocolate cakes that we got for my daughter for her birthday. And the last time I had just to eat at 12.30 is that, well, they're approximately 12.30 before we head up to the park for her birthday party. It was probably going to ask somebody. I can't let me leave you. I can't let you leave this room. It seems like music is a loving and character. mother, and this whole thing was a tragic accident. However, do not let her manipulation fool you.

Just listen to what her son had to say when speaking with medics. How is he doing? He's good. He is. He said he hasn't eaten since Friday. So. For reference, the current day is Sunday, meaning her son hasn't eaten food in over 48 hours, even while celebrating his sister's birthday. It's clear music. isn't telling the whole truth,

something that would remain a constant theme throughout this entire investigation. Kind of got a little bit of a mess right now. So we're working through it a little bit at a time. The reason I'm here, I wonder if I could take some pictures of you. Yes, that's fine. Thank you so much. Are you the detective?

I am. Are you the one that will also be getting a toxicology report? Because I need one. I know that, I know, I've done a lot of drugs for my life, and I've never felt anything like I did last night. It was completely bizarre. And all that we had was the chocolate cake that we bought at Albertsons just before bed. We need a slice of one more slice of chocolate cake.

And what was it that you felt last night? Last night, I just felt like I couldn't hold myself up. Like, I kept falling into the wall. My kids kept falling into the walls. You're weak, you were dizzy. All the above. You have any questions for me? Are my kids okay?

Your kids are okay right now. Yeah. Okay. Okay. One of your kids is here right now. but I'll talk to you about this more here in a little bit, okay? The officer at this point is fully aware of Zacheline's, but for the sake of keeping the investigation as controlled as possible,

he decides to refrain from telling music that her daughter passed away. Fortunately, just across the hall, nurses work to rescue music's older child. He's not doing well, but thankfully, he's alive. Try to get into... To peeve, but you can... You could have walked? But we're going to do it, like, x-ray, and then they need to go on his chest.

You want another blanket? And you're finding so far? Yeah, let me get you another blanket. This claim from the nurse adds even more complexity to the entire case. She said the boy wasn't able to put pressure on his legs, just like his parents earlier in the day. This adds the variable that perhaps something else caused the family to become. sick and handicapped, something that had nothing to do with the drugs they had taken. Hours would pass as music recovered in the hospital and nurses helped her son.

She would then be transported to the sheriff's office along with Matthew. It's at this point that officers decided it was best to, at last, break the devastating news to the couple that their daughter had died. When we have a death occur, we treat every death as if it's a homicide until we can prove otherwise, or someone old person died in their bed or what have you so just for those reasons we're going to take some pictures okay what's that the little girl's gone okay so I're going to have you stand up officer Karasco is going to remove your handclos for you take some pictures okay

You remember me? Well, you guys were waking me up. She was talking. So Mr. Bynum, here in a while we're going to have a conversation about that, okay? But I know you're going to need a little time. I'm going to wait for representation. Okay, you're going to want a lawyer? Yeah.

Okay, cool. Well, then let's take some pictures, and then we can get you back to the cell for now, okay? They would allow Matthew to break the news to music in a private. area without cameras. However, as it would turn out, Matthew was too afraid to break the news and saved it for a detective later on. You guys are free to go. You guys are free to go. You guys are free to go. You just can't go back to the house. You can't go back to the house right now. Yeah. So he doesn't know. That's what I'm telling you. They don't know. Okay. Yeah. So they're, yeah, you can't go back to the house. You guys are free to go. You guys have phones.

The phone. Yeah. You guys come back tomorrow. and get with the detectives in the morning. The couple would roam free following this news, but without a home, they would live out on the streets for the night. Detectives, on the other hand, had a crucial question to answer. What could have possibly caused all of this to happen? As of now, nothing makes sense. A child was...

And an answer had to be found. Fortunately, detectives had a plan to find the answers they were looking for. Remember Thaddeus, the guy on the scene who called 911? Thaddeus was the only person with the family the night prior, and seemingly the only coherent one out of the group. If anyone could explain what had happened, it would be him. With this, he would be brought to the station directly after Music and Matthew left, where officers would conduct their first formal interview of the case.

How about that? No letter. All right. So, I'm going to read this to you. It's an advice of your rights because I'm taking the investigation of detention, okay? Yeah. Considering the matter at hand. Yeah.

The detective would go on to read Thaddeus' rights. It's important to know that detectives do consider Thaddeus a potential suspect. The goal of this interview is not only to determine whether or not music and Matthew are guilty, but if Thaddeus could have played a role in Zaglius, role in Zachiline's death. I saw that you were the 911 caller. Yes. Before we get into that, let's start in the morning.

So how did the morning start? Well, I don't know if you saw the red van there or not, with the dogs in there barking. That's where I'm trying to convert that inside little trailer. That's where I was sleeping. I woke up and I thought I heard the kids playing around outside and then I realized that someone was yelling. Owl from inside the tiny home and I didn't know why. So I got out of the van. I went to night back there was music that was kind of laying near music that

almost on top of zaki old girl uh so that's what i decided to call nine women oh so let's just kind of backtrack it a little bit so you heard music yelling so you hear that you walk to the door you go to the door and you open the door and you see matt Zach, you said, Zachie, Jackie, and music leaned on what? Well, that was on the bed, Zachie was kind of half on, half off, and music was not on the bed at all. So far, Thaddeus's recollection of events is accurate to what officers observed when they got onto the scene. He would go on to say that music and Matthew don't consume or smoke any kind of drug other than marijuana. We know this is a lie, as music herself,

admitted to taking methamphetamine the day prior, meaning Thaddeus's statements need to be taken with a grain of salt. However, none of this would matter, as the detective would ask a single question that, quite literally, would change the trajectory of the entire case. How did they get out? It was a propane. It was a propane. Yes. But last night, the propane, the few nights ago, the propane ran out, and they had taken it off to go get propane. but never got it to the cocaine deal.

Did they ever start fires in the house? No. No, they, so they don't start fires in the house. They go and they, I thought you saw the coals in the bathtub. Yeah. So that was where they went, did they burn wood and brought it in once it was cold and no smoke glass. Yeah, because that's what I saw I fell out. And I was, well, maybe we could be looking at carbon dioxide here, too.

It was. I don't think it would have been because last night they might have used wood to the coals to heat it, but it's probably not likely. Despite what Thaddeus claims, this theory makes a lot of sense. If the family used coal to keep the house warm, the fumes could be potentially deadly. Burning coal releases carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause poisoning. Inhalation of carbon monoxide prevents oxygen from binding to hemoglobin in the blood, leading to oxygen deprivation in tissues and organs. This can cause

headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness, and death. The exact symptoms of everyone inside the home. If the trailer was fully sealed, meaning no windows or doors were open, then this could certainly have been what Czaculine. This is something officers would investigate later on in the night, but for now, this is just a theory, and the detective still needs to try and determine whether or not Thaddeus is lying about Matthew in music's use, or if something even more sinister had taken place.

To do this, he decides to relay the significance of this case to Thaddeus by letting him know that Zaki Line had passed away. Zach, oh, no, that's not, no, that. That's why all of this is happening. Yeah, yeah. Okay, because we need to figure out how in the heck this even came to be. Yeah. Okay.

So I know last time you didn't talk, you talked a lot about doing the right thing and this and that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that situation that you're in, definitely a good time to do that, right? Right. I can't even think of a situation where it would be more important to know what's going on than right now. I'm not the kind of caught that likes to get people caught up. That's not why I do this. That's not why I'm here.

Right now, seeing, seeing her covered up. Seeing her afterwards. I'm not alive. Like, it, it knocked me down. I cried for a good long while. Yeah, I saw you walk her away from the end of you and crying. Yeah.

Like, I don't know why. Yeah, I got a lot worse after that. Right now, my job is, to do right by exactly and the best i can by understand what's going on i mean and like you said sometimes things happen sometimes people other people on purpose yeah sometimes um it's accidental or things go too far there's a million reasons why something could happen when you can come to be right um and sometimes the there's little details of things that happen that end up meaning a lot right down the road like you'd be like well i noticed this so i did

see that or i overheard whatever i had this feeling or something that smell right and something right sometimes those things can lead to having a greater understanding so is there anything of that nature regarding anyone that was there at any time that could have led potentially to that the only i only ever heard music and matt argue but it was usually when that was super tired and stayed up all that kind of gathering wood and stuff and then the truck would break down or something would go wrong and eat at things and it's common for that happened but it was never around the kid they never did anything around the kids and they loved Don't hold on.

Is there anything that stands out to you about what happened that could explain what's going on here? No. What stood out was that could say, appell it was, or that's what they called. It seems clear that Thaddeus genuinely doesn't think Music and Matthew had any intentions to hurt their daughter. And if they had taken drugs that night, he wasn't. aware of it. The mystery of what happened is still as confusing as ever, and the only possible cause officers could think of was the burning coal. So with this in mind, they would report back to the trailer later that night to investigate this possibility.

Reporting for us? Yep. I'm sure they went over this several times with you, but boy was somewhere in this region. Dad was laying here, a decedent here, and the mom off to the side. And then when Thaddeus came in, he saw them here, she was super pale. For some reason, moved him to this chair and then came back, and then that's when he started calling 911. one girl could have gotten sick i mean living like this you know it's a little bit of a cold or something and there you go said any kind of immune compromise so they said that she got sick and threw up the mom was like i've done a lot of drugs my life to go that i can't occasionally do and uh and

but i don't do i don't hear nothing like that and i've never felt like i did last night ever in my life It seemed like the case was quite clear at this point. The carbon monoxide poisoning was too much for Zachiline's body to handle, and she passed. All they had to do was find a way to factually prove that there were high levels of carbon monoxide in the trailer, and their case would be closed. A post-mortem toxicology analysis would be conducted on Zachiline's specifically designed to identify carboxahemoglobin saturation. All carboxyhemoglobin levels are generally up to 3.5% in non-smokers and up to 8% in smokers.

When Zacheline's result came back, it showed a 70% saturation. It was far too much to survive. The coal fumes had killed her. The next day, detectives would bring back both music and Matthew to the station. Matthew insisted on only speaking if he had an attorney present, but music, agreed to sit down for a conversation. The detective wants to determine a few specific things during this interrogation.

Did music or Matthew know that heating their home with the hot coal ash was extremely dangerous, yet continue to do it? And ultimately, were they aware that their daughter had passed and tried to go without calling 911? Okay, so like I said, you can vote just anytime you want, right? Like the deputies told you, I'm Detective Roscoe, you could just call me Randy, that's fine. So my job is to figure out what happened, and you are someone that can give me information that I obviously wasn't there for.

Yes. I'm playing a little bit of catch up. I do smoke in speech, but I had not imbibed any speech. Okay, so just to be clear with speech. Thank you. I appreciate that. I do not use them regularly. It was just kind of like I wanted, I wasn't feeling good.

It doesn't matter. That's all just excuses. But anyways, I had not used any past, like noon, noon 30 at the very latest. Okay. And there was nothing, there was no, there was nothing that she could get in the room. The room is extremely messy, and that is true. And we're working on it. We don't have a vehicle right now to even take it to the dump.

So it's really really hard. It is hard. It is hard. And we had a friend that was letting us use their drugs. Um, to do dumb friends and stuff. Okay. I'm sorry. I do. Do you dumb friends and stuff. And, uh, yeah, I've been not recently, but like, recently, I've just been. And I've done a lot of drugs throughout my life, though. My name is music. My parents named me music. You know, that's the life I grew up in. But, um, I've never felt like I did last night. It was unreal. Like I couldn't hold myself up. My daughter, my son couldn't hold themselves up. I had no idea what was going on.

I just wanted us to get some sleep and I thought that that would help and I don't know. I don't know what it was. It seems odd that all music feels the need to explain as her chronic drug use and that she doesn't think it had anything to do with their sickness. The detective would later state that he thought Music had known their daughter was dead, even prior to the officers arriving at their house, which is why she felt the need to immediately cover her tracks. That was not like anything I've ever experienced. That's extremely weird, right?

Yes. Stuff like that doesn't be happy. I don't have any idea what happened, but I want to know what was in my system, and I want to know how it got to my kid's system because they did not get in they i'm telling you and an investigation will have to be done and that is fine with me but i know that i do not do this i i know that and so if that's in my system and if that's in my little girl's system somebody put it there sorry if it's my language but i

can't speak however you want you're going through some right now straight up i want to speak eloquently because I don't want to be misconstrued. I don't want to be misconstrued. I know that a lot of people come through here lying about what they do and I am not here to lie about what I do. I'm here to figure out what happened to my children because I, but I just want to know that okay. Um, so we want the opportunity to become the best for them.

I don't know what happened. I don't think it was the cake or anything. I don't know what it was. What about the heater for the house? The heater? We don't have the propane. We're out of propane. And the cold?

Like if they were in the cold or whatever you were bringing in there? Yeah, it was cold. There were cold. But we burn them all the way to cold so they don't smoke the place out. And then we vent the window. Normally we have a propane heater. And when we have the propane hooked up to the heater that's up against the wall, we still leave it vented because we, the kids were a while back, like when we first moved in,

this was over a year ago. My family was growing up, and we discovered it's because we had all the windows shut with the propane heater on, so it wasn't ventilating properly, so we started leaving the windows just cracked, and that was enough and all the throwing up stuff. This statement is crucial, as detectives now have verbal confirmation that music, and Matthew were fully aware that the coal was extremely dangerous, even causing their children to be sick. They knew that proper ventilation was necessary. Likely due to hallucinations and delusions caused by amphetamine, they forgot to open their windows, neglectfully sealing their daughter's fate.

Yeah, that was my initial thought with everyone in the house, like you guys from what we're told at the time, like people just aren't really good at having that type of heater inside the house. holster or even burn into the closest side, you get a little carbon monoxide, a certain percent on the doctor. Some percent you're going to start feeling sick and one hour and after that thing is get a little bit more serious. Yeah. Right, progressively more serious until that's salt. There should have been at least to the windows in the house. It was very important that the detective didn't reveal that they already knew Zacheline's death was due to carbon monoxide poisoning, as it would have allowed music to start making new

stories in trying to clear her name, as she had done at the start of the interrogation. Since he left Zach Elyne's cause of dead hidden from music, she was more than happy to give up all of that information. Um, die, right? Is that your son's thing? Um, I, I checked on him at the hospital when, when I saw you. Um, so from what they're thinking at, at that time, things could have changed. Um, he looks like he has a touching pneumonia.

Okay. Okay, but, I mean, otherwise, You seem pretty okay. They're treating them. They're going to do what doctors do. Yeah. Right? And check him for all sorts of stuff. Um, Zaki, Tida, and it's your mind. but we are going to look into it as deeply as we possibly can to try to get a better answer for what happened.
