Starting point is 00:03:34 Is this thing? Is this thing on? What's up? You sexy motherfuckers. Welcome to another episode of Dumblaude. Guess what month it is, Mimi? It's October. And you know what that means?
Starting point is 00:03:56 True crime, baby. True crime is my favorite. For the next four weeks, we are going to be covering all different sorts of true crime stories. And the podcast just gets turned into just so much fun. It's our favorite time of year. It really is. Yeah. As you can see, we're on the tour bus.
Starting point is 00:04:15 So we are making it work in very small working conditions. We made it feel very homely with our decorations. Yep. I love it. I like it. It's freaking bats. It's freaking bats. I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Well, all right. So we just got done doing a meet and greet. It was so much fun. We are in, where are we? Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, baby. And we are just smack dab in the middle of tour.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Coming in hot. Coming in hot, baby. It's been a brutal month. Yeah. We had a day off yesterday. And we got to spend it at the beach, but someone was sick. I almost died because I took tri-septitide this week, and we'll talk about that on another podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I'll listen to Ashtal Confest. We just went through that. Yeah. Well, I didn't tell my whole story, though. So on another Ask Tell Confess, I'll definitely tell you guys the whole story of what's happening. But anyways, so who are we talking about today? So today, this is actually a recent case that, I mean, how recent really was this? It's very recent, like, within what, the last year, I think.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah. Carly Gregg has been on everyone's four you pages, I'm sure, because that video, I mean, you never really get the amount of video that this has. Like, when I dove into this case, the amount of security footage that she did not take care of? No, it was crazy. I was shocked, so we've got home footage. This happened, because she was 14 when it happened, and she was 15 when she got convicted. March 19th, so March 19, 24. this just happened this is so fresh yeah this just happened and there was a lot to this case that
Starting point is 00:05:56 i didn't know via TikTok so once we actually dove into it and learned about it i was shocked i feel like it changed my mind on a couple things i feel like this is going to be interesting yeah it's definitely interesting because you and i disagree we do so i would really disagree so i think you're going to do the first part and i'll do the second half yeah we're going to go into who carly was As a not-so-typical teen, Carly Gregg was born in Mississippi, and she was born to Ashley and Kevin. Kevin was very much an addict, not just of alcohol, but of other drugs. And Ashley did not want Carly to be a part of his life. She fought tooth and nail so that Carly could not have any visitation with him whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:06:44 She wanted to take all the rights away from him. He was also physically abusive, too. To both is what I was told. To both of them, and that right there, I mean, should be grounds for not having your child around him. I completely understand. I do agree with her on taking away rights from him. And it was a long battle between them.
Starting point is 00:07:02 So she did actually end up winning custody of Carly. And from there, Kevin disappeared out of Carly's life. He wasn't around, and she was there to raise Carly sort of by herself until later on when her mother finds a new love. Carly did grow up incredibly smart. They knew at an early age that she was smart. Like ridiculously, like little baby Einstein smart. Yes, the IQ was through the roof.
Starting point is 00:07:31 This actually was a part of the story that shook me because I, you know, I don't want to say looking at her, you would think that she wasn't that smart because of what her crime was. But to find out, like, her ACT scores and, like, how. she got to skip a grade and stuff like that, I was like, wait a second, how is somebody so smart did something so stupid? Yeah. So sloppy. Sloppy.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Sloppy. You know? So at the age of 13, she did take the ACTs, like Bunny had mentioned, and she scored a 30, which is like equivalent to a 16 year old. Yeah. And which then turned the schools to be like, hey, we should probably advance her a little because she is way smarter than any of the kids. her grade and did end up putting her into a grade in which she was with 15 and 16 years old
Starting point is 00:08:22 year olds so she felt very isolated because she felt like she couldn't really get along with any of the other kids in her class um she was often made fun of they said and that she was teased and also used incredibly used by her peers because they did know how smart she was they said that her ac t score was literally six points off of being perfect perfect yes and so were her very great. Her grades were almost perfect. They said she was in the high 90s majority of the time. Yeah. So this poor girl is just, I think, too smart for her own good at this point. She also showed not just signs of like being so smart, but just quirks. So being that she had an obsession with Swiss knives and violence early on. But I think that she probably learned that from growing up in a
Starting point is 00:09:11 physically abusive household. Most definitely. She was attracted to violence, which could have been, you know, trauma of, like, wanting that fatherly love that she never had. That might have been the only fatherly love she knew. Exactly. And that being said, the only time she ever got in trouble was because she brought a Swiss knife to school one time. She was actually pulled from school, sent to an alternative school temporarily, until they did allow her back into the school system.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And that was for the Swiss knife, of course. But that's just crazy to me. She also got in trouble for helping an entire class cheat. Yes. So in 2022, she actually became student of the year. And at that time, her mom had actually began working at her school. So as she started to dabble in all of this, I guess, cheating and those kind of things, her mom was right there witnessing all of this happening.
Starting point is 00:10:05 So she had hacked into the teacher's computer, got all of the answers. And it wasn't that she intended to have the entire class know, but the small group of people she did tell they told and then those people told and then eventually it did get around and someone did snitch and was like well we all got it from carly you know i feel like i i sense a child who just wants to be accepted by people around her yes like somebody who feels like she's never been accepted into one peer group and that being she is also much younger than her peers at that time um she did become romantic with a a fellow student and they really felt, the mom really felt like she shouldn't be.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I mean, she's at this point, she's like, what, 12, 13? Yeah. You shouldn't be romantic with anybody. Anybody. Granted, my first kiss was when I was 12, but still. Yeah. When was your first kiss? Chime understands that every dollar counts.

Starting point is 00:13:51 James at the bus stop. Oh, really? At the bus stop. At the bus stop. Oh, wow. Interesting. Mine was on my friend's bed. God, you're a little hussy.
Starting point is 00:14:00 It was. You're a freaking hussy. Was it just kissing? He just kissed me. His name was Trevor. Trevor. Trevor sounds like a cute boy. I feel like all the cute boys' names were Trevor.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah, his name was Trevor. He was like my first, like, real boyfriend. Anyways, sorry, babe. Jason's over there editing this, like, what? So. Can't believe she kissed somebody at 12 before me. Mom really wanted, Ashley really wanted Carly to break up with this boy. She didn't feel like it was healthy for them.
Starting point is 00:14:30 But she just felt the more she pushed her, the more she ran to him. So eventually she did kind of give up and was like, whatever. She saw them at school holding hands even after Carly was like, oh, no, no, we're broken up. the mom made her break up with them and that's why she ended up giving up she just felt like the more she fought the more carly would want to run towards him she caught them you know holding hands at school and eventually she was like you know it is what it is uh but carly also had a problem with sneaking her phone getting burner phones the mom regularly actually went through carly's phone because of all these troubles that she was showing and uh so she would get a burner phone if her phone was to taken away or she would have regular checks in which the mom went through her phone to make sure she didn't have any social media. So no TikTok, no Snapchat, none of those things mom didn't want her having any type of, you know, something that could get her in trouble. Which honestly, I don't have, Bailey doesn't have any of that. And I don't, I think nowadays, having your kids on
Starting point is 00:15:30 social media is just a gateway for just a shitstorm. It is, honestly. Yeah. As much as we are social media, I see the bad side of it. Yeah, for kids, I just don't feel like kids nowadays can handle that much oversimulation. Nope, nope. They're actually banning a lot of phones right now for schools and stuff. How do you feel about that? I'm back and forth about it because if there was ever an emergency, you know, we live in a very bad society in, you know, which people are out to harm children.
Starting point is 00:16:00 And I would want my child to be able to contact me and tell me that they're safe. I would want my child to be able to call for help. Yeah. I do feel like maybe, you know, just put the phone up during class. Yeah, I put them up front. You know where your phone is, have access to them. And then, because I feel like when Bailey had her phone, she was on her phone during school all the time. Yeah. Like her, the most usage she had was during school.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'm like, do you do? And it really affected her grades. And I was just like, are you working in school at all? Like, what are you doing? So I really feel like they should turn them into the front of the class, but have complete, can see them, have complete access to them if they need them. But I don't have a problem with them kind of. Yeah. Yeah, phone cubbies.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I don't have a problem with them, like, monitoring, like, the kids' usage. Absolutely. I completely agree. I would want my child to have their phone just for safety reasons. Yeah. So she didn't have any social media and she had a problem with that because her mom ended up finding that she was dabbling in vaping and not just nicotine vaping, but weed cartridges, things like that. And it became huge in their household with arguments on phones, vaping, all of those. kind of things. One of the major arguments between them was that she was also trying to reach out to her biological father. Yeah. So she had gone in one of the checks of going into Carly's phone, she did find that on a social media app, she was attempting to reach out to her biological dad and that there were lots of searches in her web pages for someone with the same name. So of course,
Starting point is 00:17:32 you know, she's out there searching for her dad. She's got issues. Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't know if it's issues because I did the same thing looking for my mom when I was growing up. I think it's just a child's natural want to know where she came from or know the other parent, especially because Ashley did have to crack down on Carly because she was kind of a bad kid. So she probably was looking for an out, you know, like, that's how kids are at that age. They're super manipulative and they want to go to the fun parent. They don't want to go where there's rules. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And do we know what point the stepdad stepped into their lives? Mm-mm. No, I can Google that while you're talking. Yeah, give that to Google real quick. So the mom is constantly battling with Carly. over the fact that she is trying to attempt to reach her dad, which I would love to know more about that, honestly. I would like to know if how the mom felt about her attempting to reach out to the dad or if the mom was even willing to allow her to have that conversation.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Because I feel like if she really did want to meet with the dad, maybe you reach out to the dad and you, you know, arrange them to have that relationship, even if it was visitation with her there or whatever that is. Another part of her mental health was Carly actually got caught cutting. So a lot of her friends were concerned about her at school and they had been communicating with the mom too, but they were really concerned because Carly had come out and told them that, you know, she had been cutting her thighs at the time and that she was not in a good mental headspace. Her mom had reached out because between the dad, the cutting, the Swiss knives, the boyfriend, and all of these things, the mom had reached out to a therapist and signed Carly up to start going to
Starting point is 00:19:13 therapy for anxiety and stress. And this is where I believe in conversation between therapist, doctor, all those kind of things that Carly was placed on a medication. So it doesn't end up to pause you right there. It doesn't say when they got together, but Heath released a statement after she was sentenced, which we'll read later and said that him and Ashley had been together almost a decade. So I'm assuming when Ashley or I'm sorry when Carly was probably around five or six okay so like he'd already been a part of her life for a substantial amount of time yeah so this is the only father figure that she knew and I don't really know much about the support he had within Carly and Ashley's relationship and I don't know how much of a role he played in Carly getting help for all of these issues
Starting point is 00:20:00 being that she went to therapy for anxiety and stress for a little while but they did say that her mother did not follow through and eventually she just stopped going. So they just put her on antipsychotics. So then her primary care is who then came back and put her on the antipsychotics. See, this makes me think that there was definitely more going on at home than what is being told because a child is not going to be that rebellious, because I was an extremely rebellious child, but I was getting abused at home. Yeah. She also said her stuff father sexually abused her. So could this have been going on? And maybe this is why Ashley was so strict with her. And like, you know, is this why she was acting out? I mean, for a teen to be cutting
Starting point is 00:20:47 herself, that's extreme pain that that child is in. Yes. You know, so it's like, what are you trying to release? I get that you grew up in an abusive household from a young age, but I just don't see that much, you know, I don't, I see like there's, I feel like there's so much more that we're missing a huge chunk of the story that that has not come forward. Hasn't come out yet. You know, because this is so fresh and new. We talked about that in the beginning. There is, I'm sure, plenty of things that are eventually going to come out involving the
Starting point is 00:21:16 stepdad, involving Carly. Like, and who knows what role the mother played in all of those? She could have known, you know, and just not spoken up. We don't know. We honestly don't know. When Carly turns 18, am I allowed to interviewer? Or will that cause an upset in the future crime world? Or is it because she's not a dude that is.
Starting point is 00:21:34 It could be. It would be totally fine, right? Carly was placed on antipsychotics. Which antipsychotics when you're 11 or 12, your brain is still developing. And you guys know how I feel about putting children on medication. Do I think that there are some exceptions to the rule? Absolutely. Do I think people, some people really need it? Absolutely. But I also feel like a child's mind is still forming. It's still, you know, you're growing. You're going through so many hormonal changes like you are giving a child antipsychotics you do not know how they're going to react in that child's brain yeah no literally and what affects good and bad is going to have you're trying to do it just for the good but like man there's so many bad side effects so many
Starting point is 00:22:20 and i think that's what we actually ended up seeing happen because she was on um different antipsychotics and at some point the doctors were basically like we don't know what else to do and that's sort of if you guys know anything about lexapro lexapro lexapro is one of those drugs I truly feel like a doctor gets to a point where they're like I don't know what else is going to help so we're going to just throw lexapro at it and hope
Starting point is 00:22:45 this just takes care of whatever problem you have they put you on lexopro didn't they no it wasn't lexor pro no I almost refused because it's like it was in discussion but it was in discussion with other medications Lexpro is something I never wanted to put myself on because of the side effects and changes
Starting point is 00:23:01 I've seen within people and I do feel like they're permanent changes. Yeah. I feel like that truly alters your brain and it makes you almost unhuman, which is what we saw with Carly. Super numb, like unemotional. Exactly. Yeah. And there were some medications that I remember being on when I was on antidepressants, which made me feel like that. So I could not imagine, even close to imagine what she went through because I know what that numb feeling feels like. I feel like this is a little girl who was screaming out for help and didn't know how to get it. And she just, became a product of her environment. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And, you know, I don't want to say that I sympathize with her, but I mean, she's a child, dude. How many of us made severe mistakes when we were, granted, we did not kill people. No. And that's not right at all. But, you know, they switched her to this Lexapro, and then five days later, what happens? Yes. She kills her mother. So only five days prior was this new medication introduced.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And within those five days, I can. guarantee you she never saw anyone to see how she was feeling those people throw these medications at you and are like well we'll see what happens in a month yeah i know in those five days you did not go see a doctor i know in those five days you did not get checkups nothing so who knows how she was feeling within those days yeah leading up to this and um do you want to take over yeah i'll take over here so day of day of the murder um you know everything was normal that day i think um they had just gotten home from school. Was that what it was? Yeah. So she had taken her like a completely normal day because they both went to school together. The mom worked there. And the dad leaves
Starting point is 00:24:42 shortly after the stepdad. Right. Leaves shortly after them in the morning. And everyone who interacted with them at school that day were like, it was a normal day. Yeah. Like everything was normal. And, you know, when they got home, Carly went to go walk the dogs. Ashley, her mom, did a check of her room like she normally does. And she did a check of her room that day because a friend had snitched on Carly and told the mom that day that they were concerned for her because she had began, you know, dabbling in vapes and, like, was becoming an addict. Like she had to smoke weed every day. She had to have the vapes and all that stuff. So while Carly was out walking the dogs, that was her mom's opportunity to go through her room.
Starting point is 00:25:25 She ended up finding four vapes. Weed cartridges, too, I believe, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So when her mom was going through her room, Carly walks in on her mom searching her bedroom and found that her mother had, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:41 found all of her stuff. And I understand how enraging that is as a child because my stepmom used to go through my shit all the time. And it's like you just feel like you have no privacy. So I guarantee she was just fucking livid, you know? She was just like, does this woman ever fucking leave me alone, you know? So after that had happened and Carly's mom was done. searching a room. Carly went into her mom's room, which kind of surprises me because where was her
Starting point is 00:26:07 mom at that she could go in her room? I'm sure still in Carly's room. Okay. Yeah. So while her mom is still searching her room. Because she said they were kind of in an argument at that point. Yeah. You know, and it happened so fast. Mm-hmm. So while, while Ashley's still doing Carly's room, Carly goes to her mom's nightstand where her mom keeps a 38 special and you can see her on camera and Jason will insert the video here for everybody. You can see Carly walk into her mom's bedroom and then she walks out of her mom's bedroom hiding the gun behind her back. So obvious, you guys.
Starting point is 00:26:45 What is that? But that tells me that she wasn't crazy because she knew that there was cameras in the house and she knew to hide the gun. I would think that if you had lost your mind and you were kind of crazy, granted, I understand she's probably going through a roller coaster of emotions coming off anti-psychotics, going on to Lexa Pro, yes, and probably numb to everything and not thinking in her right mind, but she wasn't so crazy enough to not realize that there was cameras watching her.
Starting point is 00:27:18 We'll get to that part. So Carly walks by the cameras. like we said with the gun behind her back and by this time Ashley I think Carly had walked around like the kitchen or something like that too and by this time Ashley had gone back into her room and she walks into her mom's room
Starting point is 00:27:39 and just cold-blooded shoots her in the face three fucking times. Yep. Once in the, once in her chin and twice in the middle of her face Like, first of all, how does that child have such good aim? People joke about OCD like it's being neat. But real OCD, it's terrifying, intrusive thoughts you cannot control.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I know because I have it. The good news is OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions, and that's why I want to tell you about no CD. OCD is a serious and highly misunderstood condition that causes people to get stuck in a cycle of stressful, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors, which can become debilitating as well as exhausting. OCD can focus on anything and often targets the things we care about the most, causing us to question core values, beliefs, or feelings about our loved ones.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Because OCD is so misunderstood and can look so different from person to person, it's often misdiagnosed or not recognized at all. But with the kind of right help from a specialized therapist who truly understands what you're experiencing and is trained to treat it, OCD is extremely manageable. At NoCD, every therapist deeply understands OCD. NoCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider, and all of their licensed therapists go through extensive training to recognize
Starting point is 00:29:07 and effectively treat OCD. NoCD therapists work with you in live face-to-face virtual sessions. NoCD also makes sure you're supported between sessions with powerful in-app tools.

Starting point is 00:30:49 excludes restaurants additional terms apply that's crazy her obsession with violence i'm telling you i do not feel like this is the first time she has played with this gun yeah like i truly feel like maybe when this kid was alone or something she wasn't fascinated the fact that your first thought is to go exactly where you know that gun is and have no problem knowing how to use it or anything yeah that's crazy like who taught her how to shoot a gun yeah that's just an authority special isn't a little gun. I hate to say it. You have a mentally unstable child in your house and you openly have a gun just sitting in your nightstand. Not even a fingerprint safe or something. You just open, like your kid is cutting themselves. It has Swiss knives, is rebellious, obsessed with violence. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:31:36 oh, I'm just going to keep my gun over here while my kid's on antipsychotics. What? Yeah. No, that's a great point. But I just, the thought of how accurate she was and to shoot your mother in the face. Which you had to be looking. That is hatred. That was hate. Like, I mean, shoot a foot, shoot a kneecap. Like, she straight went in there and was like, I'm about to murk this bitch and fucking like went in there and shot her straight in her face three times.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Which psychologically, you think about it. Like, women are so worried always about, like, beauty and faces and stuff. It was very shocking for me to learn that she shot her in the face. I thought maybe heart chest, something along those lines, if you truly did want to kill. hurt going for the heart whatever for her to look that woman in the face and shoot her yeah is diabolical to me diabolical absolutely um and another thing that it hurt me so bad whenever you already know what i'm going to say it hurt me so bad to see the dogs because it just made me think of like chachi and bussy and like oh my gosh they were so scared they were so stressed out
Starting point is 00:32:44 and they didn't know what to do they were scrambling they were just like oh my god mom is heard like they didn't know what to do because she's screw you can hear her scream it's horrific it's you guys just trigger warning if you're watching this podcast um if you're over on patreon watching this video just it's a lot it's you got have to be prepared to watch that yeah i mean it's literally all on camera and for somebody to be that intelligent why on earth would you not go snip the cameras first yeah unplug them unplug the camera spray paint hang a towel over you know like do something literally these cameras, all you have to do is unplug them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:20 So that tells me right there that it's a crime of passion. Yeah. Because she's not thinking in that moment, she's literally just going straight off of anger and it's just like, you know what, I'm going to kill this woman. That's crazy. So besides the dogs, um, poor dog. When Carly was done, killing her mother, she walks into the kitchen and grabs her mom's phone off the counter after shooting her mom.
Starting point is 00:33:46 And then she texts her. She's conscious enough to text her stepfather and say, you almost home, honey, to which he replies, to which he replies, no, I'm going to be here a little while longer and then she texts back with a thumbs up. This is where I, the conspiracy theorist in me, has a problem with it. And just because of in lieu of what has happened at the, um, at the, um, at the, um, at the, um, at the trial. I feel, and this is just me having a, you know, conspiracy theorist mind, I feel like that was code word for it's done. The job is done. The job is done. And that's why, because he said, no, I'm going to be here a little while, but then shows up back at home, not even a little later than he was supposed to. Exactly. It's just something's not adding up. And then when she's done
Starting point is 00:34:44 texting, you hear her start singing. just a ballad very Jody Arias of you I was like it really reminded me of Jody Arias because you know when Jody Arias was in the interrogation room she's like singing and then she's like put on a whole performance for the fucking yes yeah it was crazy so
Starting point is 00:35:01 she's like singing a song to herself yes and like she's sitting there I mean this is moments after you just committed a horrendous crime just killed your mom and she's kind of just like wiggling her out just you know I that's where I have a problem with it I'm like, did you really not feel anything?
Starting point is 00:35:18 Because you felt joyous enough to sing. Right. I was not skippity doodaw when I had no emotions. Yeah. Like you're kind of joyously sitting there. Yeah. And she was sort of like giddity about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:32 That's sickening. Which makes me another thing, which makes me think the stepfather was in on it, was because why are you so giddy after texting your stepfather? Yep. When will you be home, honey? And you say, I won't be home until late. and you send a thumbs up and then you start singing it's like a celebration it's almost like she did good and for him like a praise in his mind you know and i don't know i don't know just just me
Starting point is 00:35:59 speculation guys straight up specule allegedly alleged allegedly this whole thing is alleged it's alleged um so anyways after that after she's done with her little singing bit she picks up her phone and then she starts texting her friends saying that she's like freaking out and like there was an emergency and of course these kids are young so nobody has a car so you know nobody can get to her to help her but she won't exactly tell them what's wrong yeah it's very evasive yeah it's very evasive it's just very like i don't it's almost attention seeking yes yeah yeah that's what i was looking for it's like yeah i'm not it's like those people who post on facebook and it's like send a prayer for me but they won't tell you actually what's wrong oh i hate that yep yep i freaking that's exactly what it was
Starting point is 00:36:39 all these people are like what do i she's not saying what's wrong yeah yeah yeah If I ever post something like that I'm always like say a prayer for me I'll let you guys know what's going on soon You know? Yeah Like when I was going through that shit with my dad Because I didn't have all the answers You know but I was just so fucking distraught
Starting point is 00:36:55 But yeah don't just say you need prayers And then never tell anybody what's going on Because you know in the comments You're going to get 500 comments And people asking you what the fuck is going on So she texts one of her friends Who actually is a part of the case Who they never said her name
Starting point is 00:37:09 Because she's under age or whatever But we'll just call her bestie Okay She texts bestie and said that, you know, hey, I'm going through something. I need help. So, of course, the girl being a good friend was like, all right, I'm going to have my dad drop me off. So has her dad drop her off over at the house.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And when she walks in, Carly is sitting in the middle of her dogs in the living room, crying, or sorry, singing, not crying, singing and playing with her fucking dogs. The friend walks in and is like, bro, you told me, like, this is an emergency. see what the hell is going on and what does carly say to her do you get squeamish around dead bodies bitch what excuse me literally like are you kidding me like and that's another thing that makes me think like how desensitized are you to seeing like violent things like what was this kid Googling what was she like was she playing dungeons and dragons like what is happening that this kid is so far removed like she
Starting point is 00:38:13 didn't even say would you get squeamish seeing my mother's dead body she said do you get squeamish seeing dead bodies and the little girl is like no and so carly takes her into the room yeah like a prize like a prize like literally like a hunting prize and shows this other little girl that she had killed her mom now don't get me wrong if somebody shows me a dead body I'm going to fucking freak out on the inside especially if somebody murdered them But at the same time, you have to think of what this little girl's thinking, you know, she's probably like, what in the fuck is going on? While Carly is showing her the body, Carly has the gun in her hand.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Has the gun in her hand still, yes. How terrified this girl must have been to be not only staring at a dead body, you're staring at the killer, too. Well, and she didn't just have the gun in her hand. She literally opens the gun up and says, hey, there was six bullets in here. Sorry, my heart's palpitating, try Zepitide. She said there was six bullets in here. I used three on my mom.
Starting point is 00:39:21 I'm going to use three on my stepdad when he gets home. So you can either stay inside or you can go outside and play until I kill my stepfather. Yes. You're just, this is premeditated, though. Like, she's planning this out. It's just crazy to me. And the little girl goes outside and plays. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:41 If I was that little girl and I went outside, my first reaction would be to take off and go get help. So that makes me think that she was just in fear. I think I think she literally felt like that girl was going to kill her if she went anywhere. Because what do they say? You have fight, flight, or fawn. And I think she went into fawn mode.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah. Yeah. I feel really bad for this little girl because, like, honestly, that little girl was just trying to be, if you think about it, she's just trying to be there for a friend. Literally. And now she's an accomplice. A accomplice in a almost double homicide, you know, like an attempted murder and a murder? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:18 How terrified must you be? And how close is this friend? Like, does she know the mom? Did you just walk into someone you've met before or just like, oh, this is your mom? Well, they all went to the same school. I'm assuming. Yeah, she knew her mom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:30 How sad. And the scene of having three bullets in her face, come on. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. It's rough. And she was conscious enough to put a towel over her mom's face. because the dad had to remove the towel to see that she was dead whenever, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:47 we'll get to that part too. But, you know, there's just so many things that she did that don't make sense. To me, I really feel like this was premeditated. I feel like she's already thought of all these things, but she thought of the wrong things. She thought of, oh, well, I'm a shooter three times. I feel like she knew to shoot her three times. And she knew there were six bullets in there. and that she would use the rest on it.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I feel like there's so many things that make me think this was premeditated. And then the things like not arreasing the cameras and things like that make me think it was rage. I don't know. I'm a 50-50 on this. Yeah. Well, let's keep talking about it and we'll see how we feel towards the end. But so the friend hears these gunshots. Carly comes running outside and says run.
Starting point is 00:41:34 So this little girl fucking takes off and books it all the way back home and Carly runs two miles away, which two miles is a long fucking run, dude. Carly leaves the friend kind of behind. Yeah. Like if you guys watch this, because the friend says I heard like wrestling around. There was like some kind of struggle. She thinks she believes the dad may have been trying to get the gun away from Carly
Starting point is 00:41:55 and that the shot that was sent off or there was three shots off, right? Because then she ran out of bullets. Right. So all three shots go off and the dad isn't dead. Like the stepdad is not dead at this point, but he is hurt. But he put up a fight. Yeah. So from the stepdad.
Starting point is 00:42:11 perspective he said that he opened the door to the house and as soon as he opened the door Carly had the gun to his face and pulled the trigger but he dodged it went like this and then that's why the bullet skimmed his neck like that and so he's
Starting point is 00:42:27 fighting with her trying to get this fucking gun out of her hand and the guns are just going on the gun is just going off because she's just you know trigger happy right now once she realized that the gun was out of bullets he said that she got this crazy look on her face and like kicked back like she was looking at a demon he said that she like freaked out and like kicked her legs like she was scared and like backing up like she had seen
Starting point is 00:42:52 something crazy and then just fucking took off so then she meets friend outside and is like yo run run leaving friend behind carly takes off yeah and let me just say she didn't really totally take off though in this video she just kind of like well i think she's i think she was just fucking scared stiff dude yeah and the poor friend that's a lot to fucking take on you just saw a dead body you just learned that your friend killed her mother yes you just fucking heard her try to kill her stepfather and now she's telling you to run like you probably think you're next yeah and she of course she runs in the complete opposite direction that carly does yeah yeah friend runs home yeah the friend went all the way back home and like told her parents so um after carly runs off he goes to
Starting point is 00:43:39 check in on his wife because he thought that there, you know, was a robber in the house. He thought that maybe Carly had mistook him for a robber. Like, he wasn't thinking in his mind that this is my stepdaughter trying to kill me. Yes. Which, again, I still don't know how much of this, I believe. Me either. Because it's like, you thought that fast to move and to get out of the gun's way.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Like, I don't know. What are you fucking Jackie Chan? Like, come on, dude. A Bruce Lee. Like, he's like, wah. Yeah, like Matrix. Yeah, literally. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Something just isn't adding up. But when he went to go check the house, that's when he found Ashley and there was a towel over her face and he removed the towel and saw that she had been shot in the face and stuff like that. So when the cop showed up, Heath, that's his name, was still in shock and police looked over the footage and the security cameras in the house. So they immediately knew what happened because they saw that, you know, Carly had killed her mom.
Starting point is 00:44:38 and during the investigation they had a lot of they during the investigation they had found out that they had a lot of issues in the house which those issues have not been released nobody it's been a very tight-lipped case which to me is crazy because you should I don't know present all of the evidence especially I guess you know in the court of law you should for sure but I mean definitely to the people of the public too because it's like you guys are making somebody hate a child it's kind of like what they did to lyell and eric you know like they made people hate them not letting people know how bad the abuse was i didn't know about how which we'll get into lyell and eric too but i didn't know how bad the abuse was for lyell and eric until recently you know so it's like i don't know i just feel like not letting people know like what was exactly going on like was she being sexually abused by her stepfather was there physical abuse in the house what else was it was the mom like did the mom find out that the daughter and heath were having a fucking affair and
Starting point is 00:45:43 that's why she put the cameras in the house you know like there's just so many what ifs you know yeah so upon finding out all the problems in the house you know they found this stuff made her sound like a spoiled brat but you know like she was complaining that her mom had put cameras in the house that she never had privacy that you know she um wasn't allowed to do things she wasn't allowed to have social media and it's like kid it was all for a reason because you out like a fucking lunatic you know she was also on they found out during the investigation that she was also on multiple prescriptions and um she was telling them that she was hearing voices in her head and that um they refused to hand over her medical records which to me like wait a second if you snore

Starting point is 00:48:59 they're also claiming insanity that's what they initially came into this case claiming well the defense did yes yeah like oh insanity we're going to pull insanity and all this kind of stuff and so the court goes okay hand over the the medical records where she's clinically insane and they're like no what just no but here's my thing to be put on antipsychotics you have to have some sort of you know a few grapes short of a fruit of salad upstairs you know what I'm saying a few tacos short of a taco stand and the amount of medications she was put on this recent lexapro switch yeah there had to be records of this unless there's not you know like why how would there not be records unless she just really wasn't going
Starting point is 00:49:51 to the doctors and somebody was prescribing the medication to her i mean we don't know but why else would you not hand over everything you possibly could to get this child to be tried for insanity what if it was heath not wanting to get the the records because in the records it talks about the sexual abuse again this is all allegedly alleged this is all alleged this entire podcast has been alleged yeah literally we are just making shit up because this is how we feel it is yeah no I mean that's a possibility too because if if she had been seen a psychiatrist and told the psychiatrist like hey you you know he's touching me or like wouldn't it be like the state would have to I don't know I don't know how
Starting point is 00:50:40 the law works I'm kind of talking as if I do but I don't I don't know I don't know if a stepparent really I don't I know we don't have a lot of rights as being a step parent so I'm wondering if this had nothing to do with that or if really they couldn't come up with a case or if it's a hip a violation because she's a child she's under age and there's nobody there to approve the medical records being released yeah I mean but she would go into a ward of the state yeah Yeah. So they would be able to pull. This whole, this whole case is crazy to me. The fact that they weren't able to pull any type of, because here's the thing. Here's my opinion. I do feel like maybe what she ended up getting was a little harsh. But at the same time, if you're not going to pull the insanity card, that's kind of what I feel like the only other option is. Well, let's talk about the trial real quick. So Carly, during all. the replays of like her mom barely even cried like when did she cry showed no emotion at all but
Starting point is 00:51:42 the most emotion that she did show was when her stepfather the body cams of the stepfather what the which shows me that there's an emotional tie with that man something definitely is there because you having literal breakdowns and if you watch like it's not pouring from her nose break hyperventilating. Yes. Breakdown. Because she felt so much remorse for hurting her stepfather but could care less about her mom. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:52:13 You're the mother who fucking is your blood. Yes. Who has raised you also. Like it's crazy to me that. And the way he eyeballs her. And mouths, I love you. Like, weird. First of all, if you killed somebody I supposedly loved and was with for a decade and then you not only killed her,
Starting point is 00:52:34 you shot me too and tried to kill me too. I don't think the words that I would be saying to you are, I love you with a smile, a creepy smile. And the way he just looks at her in court. Yeah. It was so strange. And I saw a couple people in the comments arguing. And they were like, well, maybe he just realizes she's a child.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And, you know, that she's about to go to prison for the rest of her life. And I'm just like, if someone tried to kill me, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, go to prison. like I don't know it just is not adding up it does not make sense and I really feel like the stepfather should be investigated text messages between them pull more of those cameras at the house and see what we can find go back like a year or two well I don't know if they keep a year's worth but at least like prior conversations they had how they interacted with each other on the daily but how'd they interact that morning before they were leaving yeah during the trial some of her friends even testified that she was on numerous drugs too So you have to think this girl's taken antipsychotics. She's taking Lexapro and she's on various drugs, which we don't know what they are. But especially like in the vapes, you don't know what you're getting these days with these kids. Bailey's had kids overdose at her school just from hitting a vape, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:48 So it's like you don't know where this girl's mind really was. Yes, she was cold. Yes, she was borderline calculated with some of the things she did. But it was also a crime of passion, which makes it so weird. There's like just a smorgasbord of. It's a 50-50 for me. You definitely planned some of it, but in the other sense of it, I'm like, are you really that stupid? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:10 So with all the footage and the testimony, they ended up sentencing her to life in prison for murder without parole, life in prison for attempted murder without parole, plus 10 more years for tampering with evidence. Which, what's the tampering? Putting the towel over her mom's face. Probably towel and who knows what else. She could have probably, you know. Move the mom's body or something. Like, if she was in there for a while, she definitely was within the crime scene, so she was doing something.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah. Yeah. So after the, after her sentencing, the stepfather spoke out and he had a statement. So let's read what the stepfather had to say. He said, I am ashamed. I'm embarrassed. I'm angry. I'm upset.
Starting point is 00:54:53 And I'm very sad. I loved Ashley Smiley too. We were married for almost a decade. and yeah he didn't comment about anything else you would think that he would comment on telling her I love her during the trial yep I'm just skimming through this yeah that's all he said that is so strange to me yeah I would I am very anxious to see how those plays this does play out because there is bound to be more evidence that gets released to the public once all of this becomes public i would love to see more about you know him taking the stand versus
Starting point is 00:55:41 you know her taking the stand he did take the stand but i mean like just it's very interesting what i want to know what happened i want to know what happened at home like let's go through those phone records yeah let's go through those fucking counseling therapy sessions because Lyle and Eric Menendez confided in their therapist about the rapes and stuff like that. But she didn't go to therapy for long. It literally says that she went very temporarily and then the mom never followed back up on it. Yeah. So. Do we think that the mom never followed back up on it? Or did Carly reveal something that the mom didn't like? That's true too. You know, like we'd never know. Speculation. Pure speculation. But yeah. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the story of Carly Gregg.
Starting point is 00:56:24 how do you feel about her sentencing you know at first when i first heard it i still don't think that she should get life i i think that she's a really messed up child you know and i think that she's just going to be another fucking statistic um but you know it's crazy because then it's like can somebody like that be her rehabilitated no i i i do feel like she should be within some type of cap not captivity cut that some type it in i thought it was hilarious well i mean that's what i feel like she needs some sort of supervision yes the rest of her life you know like there's a chemical imbalance in there that i don't believe can be fixed i feel like she's going to come out with the truth in like a year or two i think she's going to come forward and
Starting point is 00:57:19 be like yes i was molested yes we were having a fear yes he fucking helped me the minute he moves on it's all coming out. The minute he moves on and leaves her in there and doesn't pay her fucking commissary or something it's going to be crazy, dude. Yep, something something's going to be her trigger like this murder was and she's going to just give it.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Yeah. Yeah. I agree. What are you guys' thoughts at home on this entire case? Let us know in the comments and also yeah, let's um, I'm looking forward to doing more of these. This is my favorite month. Happy October guys. I know. Happy freaking
