Groves Trial Day 3 - Det Jody Conkel - Police Interview

[@moniquebalmer9390]

The only love this poor baby knew was from his brokenhearted foster mother. She tried so hard for him. His parents are despicable. I hope they suffer every single day for the rest of their time on Earth. And CFS needs to be held accountable as well. They took him from the only chance he had at life and sentenced him to a horrific death. My heart truly breaks.

[@sarahjane9957]

Me too. Hope that Cps is held accountable and the woman who was on the case is fired. Obviously she was stupid to believe the husband wasnt still on drugs. Anytime one spouse is on meth the other is also. Parents who are positive for any drugs should have their infant taken for good. so this tragic horrific death of that baby dillon doenst ever happen again to any more babies brought in to this world

[@amandagreene7481]

How did the meth get in his system at 3 months old??? She wasn't breast feeding

[@nonmihiseddeo4181]

@@amandagreene7481 You're not gonna see this, because YT doesn't let us see our notifications anymore, but where meth is used, it gets into the environment, such that people and even animals can come into contact with it unknowingly. CBS 8 in San Diego reported that in a suburb called Hillcrest, people are walking their dogs, and the dogs are being exposed to meth out on their walks. Veterinarians are reporting multiple dogs coming in with symptoms like vomiting, convulsions, involuntary leg jerking. The dogs are admitted to a pet hospital for diagnosis, IV support, and testing for liver toxicity. So, I think environmental exposure is how this poor baby got exposed to meth after his birth. His parents were using in the house, and Dylan simply breathed the air.

I commend law enforcement and the courts for having to deal with people like these, God bless you!

[@spiderlegs50]

General Population will do these 2 in. I can only hope the 15 year old changes his name and moves far, far away.

[@eveebony6907]

@ Christine,,,Yes. Hopefully.. That little Baby, Dylan was his little Brother....

[@0scJohnson0]

That’s naive. General population is full of murderers of all kinds; babies, children, spouses, grandparents.

[@LauraBeeDannon]

@@0scJohnson0 it's belief from watching movies, usually pedophiles get a target cuz plenty of cons were victims in their youth

[@mainecoon6514]

they will likely be put into protective custody and continue their drug use.

Beetle juice 😂

They tried to make them look respectable in court but they look like two hillbillies.

Don’t you disrespect beetlejuice that way lol

More like Kurt Corbin

[@tekeeshaodom2769]

Begging the cops not to kill the dogs ...because they would be "crushed". So worried about how "badly" they are being treated by the police, how they are going to be "robbed blind", and someone going to get the dogs from the shelter.....how that older child has survived is beyond me.

[@lionessatthegate]

Detective Conkel testifying almost entirely from her own memory … priceless!

[@tumbles8715]

I cried for this baby. That poor boy didn't stand a chance with these two as parents. He was heavier in birth, than in death after being submerged in water.

[@LauraBeeDannon]

I gasped when she said how little he was.

[@MrsMrMoney]

Y’all gotta think though. That baby was underwater for months in the summertime. He was decomposing. I’m not saying that he was in perfect health when he died, but I’m sure he lost a lot of tissue just from natural decomp.

[@lifewithjimmy4389]

The lady detective!! So smart!! She’s good! 👌👊😳👀👊👌❤️

[@jodiosborne5056]

My heart breaks for this beautiful baby ❤️. I’m just wondering what kind of life the other child in the house had. He grew up with these two as parents. You know they didn’t just start abusing drugs right before they had the baby, obviously this was years in the making. It just makes me sick to think of what his little life was like and what he saw happen with his baby brother. Hopefully he did not inherit any of their evil traits.

[@virginiamesko6369]

It's amazing how worried they are about "them 2 little dogs" and exhibit only concern about not being treated like houseguests. Not one word of remorse for the baby.

[@cathymartinez2123]

How cps released the baby to this evil monster is unbelievable..just worried about the dogs pos..

Exactly because I don’t know half of what he said

This entire case is a perfect example of how kids are failed by the system. Everyone knew what would happen and everyone says "I was just doing my job." But had one person said something it would have been different.

This woman was more concerned about the dogs safety and her cold feet then about her baby boy...sick!

[@Craftingwithamy]

This Judge exemplifies what every Judge should strive to be. He is always courteous- patient. He keeps his composure throughout. I don't know how he does it. No telling what he must be feeling inside having to listen and watch this. This case is horrific. Baby Dylan should have never been placed in his father's physical custody. Huge failure by parents and Dept for Families and Children. Unfortunately our Social Workers are bombarded with huge cash loads. And the system is flawed. This is the result. The drug epidemic has amplified the burden of Social Services. But this problem needs to be fixed. Too many children dying at the hands of their parents. Truly sad. It could have been prevented. All the unanswered calls. Missed appts- failure to do what they were to do. Simple communication to the drug classes, his alleged employer, all should have prompted immediate removal. The older child was removed. The Foster mother cared for baby Dylan. No wonder the Social Worker doesn't want her face shown. Complete failure.

[@Dennym240]

Omg that baby was insanely cute. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[@Holly707]

I applaud this detective, she went above and beyond to get sweet Dylan back where he belongs. R.I.P. sweet Dylan 🧸You are loved. ❤❤❤

It’s hard to believe she passed the nursing exam, it’s really very hard..

[@donnydarko6042]

Not in the south lol

[@samhaine9167]

HOW did she recall all those details with Gregg etc and how she had to put clothes on and there was no gun in the house but a BB gun but when she was on the witness stand and asked about how Dylan got all those injuries, she COULD NOT REMEMBER???????

[@BAFFLED-u4o]

The reaction of the foster parents when they saw them only worried about the dogs. Why didn't they let them have this little boy when they clearly never wanted him?

[@dannabittner5567]

Let them have a cold shower without soap and no clean clothes. Let them suffer until they take their last breath.

[@JojoplusBo]

it’s against ‘ their ‘ human rights - ironic huh?!

[@Iloveyoursmile]

If this woman would give a birth at home instead of hospital where the baby got registered as new human being, and then kill him, nobody would ever find out. Just glad 15 yrs old son made it till 15 and living with aunt and uncle. The only reason why the two have been together 24 yrs is that if you constantly on drugs you don't count days, months or even yrs. That's why.

[@bobbiejoecassell6717]

Adorable judge. To the jury about the delay........ "If your mad at anybody be mad at me"

[@TheOldstufffan]

I love the approach of the detective, very no nonsense, not suggestive and passionate about what she does. She wants the accused to do the right thing and gives them opportunities to do the right thing. I like this better than when they are fed information just to prosecute.

[@sahpem4425]

Complaining about her feet being cold and needing to be wrapped in toilet paper... I wonder how cold her baby was, wrapped in plastic, at the bottom of a well?

[@kdfulton3152]

Detective Conkel rocks. You can see her indignation from the stand. 👍👍👍👏👏👏 These “people” are something else; drugs were more important than her children. What a bunch of losers-those poor children have no chance to break this cycle. Hopefully the 14 year old can get past this and grow responsibly.

[@patriciagriswold6060]

She is whining about not having a spoon, well if you are hungry enough, use your fingers!!!!

the same ugly fingers she used to murder her innocent baby!

My favorite part is hearing how they both suffered in jail. Only a fraction of what that poor baby endured.

[@kriztalynn]

Kinda neat that the state’s prosecutor AND the investigating detective are both strong, smart, beautiful women.

[@Lee-lu9zm]

So they were worried about each other and she was worried about the dogs...these two were so dependent on each other because of drugs. I can’t understand why Dylan was not left with foster mom and the two could have carried on their miserable existence. Makes no sense..

[@KateMich12]

So the only two pictures they had of Baby Dylan were the ones the foster mother had given them?

[@katearnoldy1011]

Such a sad horrible case :(

[@Lea-sm3zs]

I just don’t understand their reasoning going through the bell ache of getting a baby back,you clearly couldn’t be bothered to look after properly .... words fail me ... it’s such a shame ... 😢

[@Unknown-qi4ed]

It trips me out how these two thinks that they’re untouchable. They literally feel like they’re a step ahead of authorities. Drugs

[@marycanfield8654]

The dogs??? Nothing about Dylan or their other child. Fry 'em! God bless you Dylan. She is hated.

[@nolagirl2458]

Why on earth would they give a helpless infant back to these animals! They're worse than animals, animals protect their young! The Foster Mom 💙 him! 😭💔

[@UndergroundMakeup]

It always bothers me in cases where the murderers complain of being cold or in pain… good. Baby Dylan suffered way worse than that. They have no right to complain

[@chrissychavez7201]

When parents or anybody hurt defenseless children, they should be put through the same torture and death 💀. Rip Dylan😢😇🍼

[@lightscameratamara]

Why would you give a baby that is addicted to drugs to a ppl addicted to drugs. That child would never be right from all those drugs while it was developing. It would need special care, not drug addicts. This is mind blowing.

[@janeboucher8314]

She wants soap for what cuz when they were arrested and arraigned they look like they had not took a shower in months

[@kendiejace4131]

When I first heard a well I assumed it was like one with the bucket you use to get water and why if there was one they hadn't checked it. Now I realize that unless he told them they would never even know it was there.

[@tekeeshaodom2769]

The cop tells her "girl, no! We don't wana see that!" Lol

[@paulinelogan1400]

I cannot believe the social services (CPS) gave baby Dylan back to his parents so quickly surely they should have been more thorough with their investigations

[@Kelly-jn4cp]

Their body language in court says everything. He can't get further away from her without falling off his chair.

[@emneeson]

I've noticed that. Throughout the trial, he has leaned away from her. I also noticed that when they go to sit down, he moves his chair away too

[@davidpevnick7270]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@debracruz2456]

Dont let that tactic confuse you with the fact hes only doing it to try to separate himself from her for the trial to act like he wants nothing to do with her but in reality he loves her and is scared of her so that will never happen. Its all an act in front of the jury for mercy

[@benitasmith2840]

One thing is very clear....neither Daniel or Jessica have remorse for killing Dylan. They may be sorry but it's just they're sorry for getting caught. I love watching as their terrible secrets are exposed and see the shame and embarrassment on their faces.
