Cops Discover Horrifying Scene After Ignoring Man's Threats

In today's true crime documentary and news piece, we're covering the arrest of Henry Cardana.

[@nikkigussalazar5005]

Why the hell is an elderly man who seems to need care himself in charge of taking care of a woman on hospice.

[@NotYomama13]

not sure, but it seemed like she wouldn't accept any type of help. She said specifically that Henry a was supposed to be taking care of her and even her son-in-law said that she was impatient and rude. I'm not sure if they could have forced her another type of care without her consent.

[@julianrainn]

He’s not an abuser he’s an old man who snapped because she was so demanding physically mentally and probably emotionally that not even 3 different nursing homes could handle keeping her and he reached his breaking point with taking care of her 24/7 while also being an elderly person needing care himself

[@julianrainn]

He tried to get help before it reached that point, and they didn’t do enough and she was also refusing to go back to a home and was apparently too belligerent for 3 different homes. She was probably a horror to take care of . Her own son and law said she probably contributed to her own demise and I do not doubt that.

[@True_Rarity]

As a male, I think this may be the best example I’ve seen where a female officer could’ve been the biggest difference in how this played out. Every male involved took the side of the male, and every female took the side of the female. The officers took everything Henry said at face value, where a female officer could’ve provided a different outlook. Either way, the initial call wasn’t taken seriously at all, because rule number one of investigating a call involving two parties is to separate the two parties and document their concerns. They didn’t do that, so the woman was forced to say only what the man may approve of her to say.

[@klown463]

Ok, and what would that have led to? The officers have no probable cause and the lady wasn’t going to leave the house

This! People in the comment section are basing their reaction off of what happened in the latter part of the video but the first part was very telling. You are spot on. Hospitalization would’ve been the best option to separate them for a short time. Giving both of them a break from each other. This story is truly heartbreaking. Prayers and peace to everyone involved 😔

[@valeriekehrt7566]

She should've been taken out of there. What a sad, horrible situation.

[@gabrielwatson7721]

No one should be put to death like this woman was. She might of been demanding and set in her ways, but NOT sentenced to death over it.

[@CathAlexandra]

This, exactly!

[@randallhorlick4259]

@@gabrielwatson7721 no one said that. We are saying there should have been more help before it got to this.

[@rebekahmk6794]

As someones who mum has termenal cancer and many other health issues i know how hard it is and the care that is in the job but i would jump if and when she was on hospice and i know its hard but it hits home to see how this helpless lady was and the struggle they had where the hell was help hurts my heart 😢

[@dockspringfield1213]

IT'S YOUR FAULT. It's not yours personally.

[@amycovey6595]

He flat out said he was going to kill her in front of police so why in the hell did you not separate them? Shame on those first guys!!!!

[@jenbento3574]

Twice! Two separate times and then even clarified what he said the second time. So did she.

[@nikkithruthelookingglass183]

Again, he was smiling and laughing it off. And by saying it the second time, could also be a sign okay...it's a joke. Cops aren't fortune tellers.

[@sci-fiknight8084]

@@nikkithruthelookingglass183 he said it more then that in relations to doing so and the lady not being on the same terms he was on at all times she was talking during the video was clear sign something was wrong. I mean even saying "guns are ready to go" was weird in it self but the cop didn't take it as anything since he liked guns himself so he decided to make his relation to it.

[@karyne826]

I think he said that pretty glibly. I don’t think the Officers even really heard it clearly. Henry was quite clearly at the end of his tether and as a result he flipped and the gun just happened to be there and loaded. It’s a sad case all round

[@k2a2l2]

he said that twice along with her saying “please dont leave me” as well. this is on the cops

[@Bingchillingwith420]

“A huge responsibility and a huge burden” the way the cop says it and the way she looks at him is so sad.

[@Tybby22]

Coming from the person that was supposed serve and protect her smh. He says this while she’s begging for help how disgusting.

[@anjanettee7786]

Yeah, he really shouldn't have said that in front of her

[@Loz294xo]

That part broke my heart! Saying that infront of her like she’s invisible 😭💔

[@HEXCD4D04]

And saying it to her own husband who she most likely spent her whole life taking care of until she was on her deathbed

[@VisenyaAtoms]

@Tybby22 the courts ruled that the purpose of police is not to serve and protect the people. The government in this country is getting more and more authoritarian

[@maryhughes7929]

An 86 year old man with his own health problems cannot give hospice care to an elderly lady. End of. They were both crying out for help, he had guns and then later the poor lady is dead. RIP. The cops have a lot to answer for. 🙏🏼⭐️🕯

[@airforce1969]

It's so frustrating because this was so preventable. Very upsetting.

[@brokengirl8619]

Her "please don't leave" broke my heart. She also reminds me of my mom when she was dying of pancreatic cancer.

the guy litterally called for police to avoid what he was going to do, told them to his face what he was gonna do and they didnt do shit abou it

[@rixmagi]

ppl in the comments are saying that they couldn’t have done anything, they could have removed him from the residence. they could have asked them about details, asked each of them about what was occurring, but they didnt.

[@christinem.alwaysbelieve]

Adult Protective Services was also at the house the same day

[@TrickZ_Retz]

@@rixmagi Thats what happens when cops get a few hundred hours of training. There's a reason you rarely if ever see that happen in other first world countries.

[@Chelliemiss]

I don’t always get emotional but this case broke my heart seeing her trying to keep them there for her safety and not being truly heard. I can understand the tough situation they were both in but she did not deserve that 💔

[@user-ju9re9ob2v]

It's disturbing because EVERYONE of them will be this age someday, and I pray 🙏🏼 that they get a better understanding on taking care of these matters.

[@Antiluddite]

This whole situation is ridiculous. You've got an 86-year-old trying to be a 24/7 caretaker for a completely disabled old woman, a task that would be difficult for someone half his age, and the cops just abandon both of them with no follow-up.

[@SomewhereInTime5059]

Exactly.

[@eh-i1841]

I agree.They were abandoned.

[@janellcrews6108]

Agreed i was 15 to 17 taking care of my great grandma along side of my grandma, 22 to 26 caring for my grandpa along side of my grandma. It was very hard but there was 2 of us. We got breaks when we needed to. This is nuts.

[@gregsimmons694]

[@runNgun1516]

She just was asking to be pulled up. Feet not touching the foot board... come on. As a Healthcare worker this video breaks my heart.

[@greymomma]

Thank you! I was actually saying that as I watched. I took care of both my parents suffering from Alzheimer's. My father became bedridden. I'd have to adjust him in the bed often. It was obvious when I watched that she needed to be adjusted. I can't imagine how someone couldn't see it. It was breaking my heart watching this.

[@joyprewitt2785]

I feel the same way. Her poor feet were all pushed up on the end.

[@jackynoble1710]

imo fire dept massively screwed up on this one or they werent communicated to enough.

[@TakeriaBrown]

And it was obvious her whole body was slumped down in the bed they acted as if they didn’t see that.😢This was preventable he was not healthy enough to do for her.

[@bahart9088]

Me too. Former CNA and she needed to be taken care of by someone trained and healthy enough to move her. She was just uncomfortable. If you lay in bed all day, you need to be repositioned throughout the day and night so you don't get bed sores.

[@animaanimus8011]

So the son in law heard her say “he has a gun to my head,” but didn’t call 911?

[@simsbroadcastnetwork01]

This whole situation is terribly sad and there's many elderly ppl that are in this situation because they have no one to care for (or willing to care for) them.
