Groves Trial Day 3 - Det Jody Conkel - Jailhouse Phone Calls

A mother and father in Scioto County, Ohio stand trial in the death of their infant son. Young Dylan Groves was found dead 30 feet down a well last year, prosecutors said. Authorities blame the boy’s parents-mother Jessica Groves, and father Daniel Groves-for what happened. The defendants are charged with aggravated murder, murder, kidnapping, endangering children, tampering with evidence, interference with custody, gross abuse of a corpse, and four counts of felonious assault.
Problems stemmed right from Dylan’s day of birth on January 10, 2019. The boy was born with drugs in his system, authorities claim. Daniel Groves later got the child back after showing that he followed regulations, but the defendant allegedly started missing important dates, including court dates and doctor’s appointments.
Investigators claim that both defendants bolted on a four-wheeler when authorities dropped by the home for a checkup on May 20, according to WLTW. Deputies obtained a search warrant, got Jessica Groves to give herself up quickly, but Daniel Groves was only arrested after a six-hour standoff. Authorities said they found $42,000 of stolen items at the residence, and later found the late infant in a well.
Deputies said Dylan Groves didn’t even make it to a full three months of age. They claim there’s evidence showing he’d been dead since March.
How Baby Dylan Was Found In the Well:
A coroner determined that the victim had been slain. The child sustained several bone fractures, had been wrapped in plastic bags with duct tape, then put in milk crates that were wrapped in chains, and other bindings, according to WSAZ. The crates were weighted down with rocks and a weight, authorities said. As in his birth, Groves died with drugs in his body, according to the coroner. This allegedly included methamphetamine.

Except Casey didn't shed 1 single tear for her baby that she threw in the marsh in a trash bag. But yes, during calls, and meeting with hub, all they cared about was how unfairly they were being treated. Like Casey having a tantrum at her friend that cried asking where Caylee was, Casey said "well this was a big fukking waste of time I just wanted tonys number"... Sickening how self involved ppl are, including ones that murder their own newborn and throw away like a used kleenex. So sad, but blood boiling as well. How dare they complain about being dope sick or cold!?? Great comment Renee. Thx

Narcisstic bitch!

[@tamarasmith8260]

So you had nothing no money but you had money to by drugs cause the baby clearly had drugs in his system. Those are not tears of sadness or guilt thise are tears cause you got caught. He had a makeshift coffin and was beaten and thrown down a well.... a well!!!!! So for that you get no sympathy and you get everything you get. Your baby did not beat hisself up, he did not make his coffin, and he did not toss hisself down the damn well!!!! That beautiful little baby with all his innocence never had a chance.

Crocodile tears

[@michellebean8422]

When I get really upset and cry a lot I soak a tissue very quickly. She used the same tissue for ages. The ‘tears’ go away suddenly when she spoke to her lawyer? She hides behind her hand the whole time she is ‘crying’ and also why are her eyes not pink and puffy from crying? She lied and lied saying ‘I promise you drugs had no part in this’ and ‘I did not hurt my baby’ and then when she testified she said she did it but also couldn’t remember but it was all her and not Daniel. And ‘it was an accident’ but that would possibly apply if it was on one occasion but there were several different occasions that poor little Dylan was assaulted. Were they all accidents? How can she remember it was an accident but not remember what happened. Finally she said she hadn’t been able to shower then recalled that she hadn’t been given any soap to use in the shower. Which is it? She lies and changes her story constantly. He just shows no emotion or car at all. I really hope that other prisoners get at them and make them suffer. I cannot believe she was going on about showering and washing when her poor poor older son has got to live with this his whole life and her baby didn’t live at all. If she had post natal depression she would no care about showers and washing. She would be too depressed to care.

[@georgina-a]

Full credit to the judge for his words at the end of this clip when he was trying to advocate for a 15yr old child's wellbeing whilst living in a small town and having to testify against his own parents to get justice for his brother. Whilst the judge had no legal power to stop the media publishing the boy's name, he certainly tried to reason with them. He probably showed more care to that boy in those few minutes than his parents did in his prior 15 years...

[@jenabo-bena3616]

i feel so bad for that kid. unfortunately small towns can be brutal for the relatives of violent murderers regardless of how complete their innocence is. i felt like the detective & prosecutor sort of hinted at that as well when the latter very pointedly asked the detective if there was any evidence that Jr. was involved and she said 'absolutely not'. yes, it's partly so nobody can show up later claiming Jr. was involved to try and get the heat off of themselves, but I do think it was partly to send the message that people shouldn't punish this poor kid for who his parents are. I feel terrible for him.

You have to know when she was on drugs she was probably the hardest people in the world to live with. She will get no sympathy from the women in prison, and personally I hope the ones have children they are waiting to get out to see give her hell all the time. I lost 2 of my 3 children they were not babies, but they were both 33 at the time of their deaths, both died of heart conditions. My oldest son lived with me most of his life, my youngest was my only daughter she was 33 and lived with me all her life, their father died when she was 4, in '85 they all had high blood pressure and it damaged their hearts. I have always blamed myself that I couldn't do more to keep them alive. Children are a gift from God, and how you can just throw one away, I just cannot understand.
