Prosecutor Details Horrific Timeline of 10-Year-Old Iowa Girl's Kidnapping and Murder

She should have at least hollered out of the window to wake up the neighbors and asked Bria something like "Bria, come in here and put on your coat before you go with your dad this time of night"., if she was so afraid of him.

Why won’t you answer!!!” and I would’ve gone out to check on her and asked her what was going on. There was no reason for him to have taken her alone especially in the wee hours of the morning.

[@missnikki4471]

Her memory is awesome.

[@Winter-Lake]

She also has an excellent affirmation technique that is both a compassionate, supportive response to a witness testifying and reinforcing a statement &/or a fact to the hearers (the judge and audience). I don't know if it's something that is just natural for her to do or if it's an intentional & honed technique, but it's brilliant. She responds with gentle but emphatic "Of course! Absolutely! Yes yes! " and similar responses. It impresses on the judge and "invisible jury" to register that witnesses statement/testimony as true. Very clever technique or natural ability.

[@Godschild49]

​@@Winter-LakeI believe this is a bench trial. But, yes I agree

You're absolutely right but unfortunately relatives are more likely to violate a child than strangers. Access and manipulation is all it takes.

We have to make our children feel safe with us.

[@Winter-Lake]

Absolutely! Especially so! Personally, I wouldn't leave her ALONE with a man whether they are unrelated or even related (ie; an uncle, cousin, grandfather), only the father. But sometimes not even the child's own father. Certainly NOT this man. He's not even a responsible, loving father to his own child/children prior to this horrific event. THAT is enough to tell me not to leave him alone with any child, including his own, and especially someone else's daughter.

I also think about how she wanted to take her family dog. I know her Furr-baby misses her and woulda tried to protect her but she wasn’t allowed to take the dog, her mom didn’t answer phone calls/texts, the gf didn’t go get her from outside at 3a when she was “looking for her” but she found her why not go outside and get the CHILD, that demon’s car got stuck divine intervention. She was just aligned with a demon and he got her😢😢

The girlfriend should have called Breasias mother immediately.

She knew he was up to know good since she knew he & the little girl were missing from the home for hours so she set up and waited for them to come in. She should have demanded he bring her in or went and got her, period.

Because the two would look out for each other, and it was the request of the little boy. He wanted her to go. I'm sure that is why in his testimony he says it's hard to talk about.
