The Corn Rake Mystery - A Farmer Attacks Or Wrongly Accused? | Mystery & Makeup - Bailey Sarian

[@vickrykayser3129]

I think your idea about Amy accidentally falling on the rake twice from dizziness is a real possibility. Todd definitely deserves a new trial with a decent defense team.

[@joeymiller5331]

How can a corn rake go into her back take itself out and then go back into her back, while she's on her hands and knees?

[@d_m5582]

My first thought was it sounded like she may have fallen from dizziness. Especially after just having had surgery, and not feeling well, and add in if was hot out, and she could’ve been dehydrated. It honestly makes the most sense. It didn’t say if all the wounds were the same depth.

This is exactly why I read the comment section. Waiting for someone to think the same thing I was thinking. With that said does the camera have a digital record that it is being turned on and off. Also it sounds like the husband didn't leave the farm. If him finding out pig mean her life would she take the chance o f him or her children catching her. Our story teller really is correct. There is an enormous amount of unanswered questions and I believe she said if I'm not mistaken that she watched the whole trial. This channel sure gets you thinking

I immediately thought of the son, Tristan. Like he was the one who found the body, he was alone going to get water, which was a lot closer to the red shed than his father was...what if he did it? And of course, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE INVESTIGATORS?! No one thought to, I dunno, INVESTIGATE?

[@lunity1111]

American police seem to do this all the time it’s like they are fixated on somebody from the beginning and all they do is try to prove that guilt rather than remain open-minded. I’m 100% sure almost at least 90% that it was O.J. Simpson son that killed Nicole and not O.J. Simpson but O.J. Simpson went to the scene to drive his son away hence getting blood from the scene. The thing is the parent would probably rather go down than frame their own child but I guess would ideally like both to get off with it

[@emilyrasputin]

I heard the last couple sentences in Bailey's voice 😂 It sounds so much like her

[@Avenuelane.]

A lot of people think it was the son Tristan as well. They should have looked into that more. They still should. So silly.

[@candralester6664]

Oh I 100% think it was the son it makes more sense 🤷🏼 he probably found out his mom cheated and was going to divorce his dad and take him away from his dad and the farm. Tristan didn't like that so he killed her. So that he wouldn't be taken away.

[@alanasakurada9422]

I’m also wondering if the dad knew it was the son because think about it…the dad stuck to his story about them not leaving each other’s sight the whole time yet the son claims to have went to get a drink of water. Doesn’t that mean the dad would have to confirm that did indeed happen? That little bit there probably would have had them questioning the son now right? Since it would look like dad was covering for him. Detectives were not detectiving 🤦🏻‍♀️

I feel like Todd driving Amy to the hospital isn’t too suspicious or anything. They live in a rural area. I’m sure he knows the way to the hospital better than the ambulance would know the way to their farm.

[@amandahowey9928]

I live in the midwest & it's super common for a farm accident. It's faster to get them to the hospital or at least the nearest town & meet the ambulance. I agree@

[@Crazybigspoon]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, like it would take too long to wait for them to get to their house.

[@katejmendoza]

Same. This seems absolutely normal for a farmer in a rural area.

[@kyliemyers9737]

We've had to call the ambulance for my grandma a few times for difficulties with her diabetes and other medical reasons and they can almost never find our house and when they do it's already been about 45 minutes. We could've gotten her there quicker but we weren't able to move her at the time. So to me, driving that person yourself isn't strange at all. More heat of the moment, get them the help they need as soon as possible. (At least with me) when something happens you don't automatically think things through before hand and then later you go back and sort of rethink everything and how it could've gone a different way

[@emeryltekutsu4357]

Honestly, I wouldn't even find it unusual in a city. If you know how to get to the hospital, it may be the fastest option to get them to help. There would be plenty of situations where I might say, "Let's get rolling" rather than stop and make a call. Everyone has a cell phone, make the call en route!

[@saralorincz1081]

What if she honestly fell? Because she was having dizzy spells. There was no splatter at the scene, and the space was so tight according to 48 hours you couldn’t really move in there. Or the son found out his mom was cheating on his dad and raged out. I think Todd is innocent tbh

[@rylangrimes1239]

Also Tod’s reaction to the questioning is actually pretty accurate. Especially in small towns with how little males are allowed to show emotions. We don’t have big break downs. No man cries at a death and women focus on caring for everyone before processing emotions. And small town rumors are very accurate where everyone knows everything. But affairs can be more easily hidden than you think. Lots of back roads that everyone knows like the back of their hand and just going for a drive is what you do. There aren’t places to hangout at. There is no park, mall, places people go. You steal the farm hand truck, you pick up your friends and go “cruising” down back roads.

[@rencielart]

As someone who also acts impulsively in sudden, panicky situations- I saw myself doing the "drive to the hospital first, and call 911 on the way" decision as well if I were him. Especially if they lived so far away, I'd hope to bring her to the hospital as soon as possible and cut paramedic travelling time with however much closer I can get to the hospital using my car. I'm not saying Todd isn't guilty 100% but I definitely don't think there was enough, or even substantial evidence to convict him with that charge(yet). The dude deserves another trial. They judged him on textbook reactions and never considered how different individuals would react to situations.

[@sarahpena3537]

I thought the same thing. Growing up in a rural area where the nearest decent hospital is like an hour away...ya, I could see hopping in the car first and then calling 911 on the way....

[@mycatisjudgingyou]

I used to live in the country and paramedics get lost out there all the time. When anything happened that needed us to get to the hospital, a lot of times we would just drive there.

[@feliciawinsor4773]

I said the same thing. Especially if i lived in the country

[@leslieslayton]

Growing up we lived so far from the hospital my parents would just drive us. We were extremely poor. A bill from the hospital for an ambulance ride would have broke us.

[@Elena-tq9vs]

100% - if you are 1 hour out from the hospital then: Explaining to the dispatchers, giving the address and waiting for the ambulance to find you = 1 hour. Get in the car and start driving and maybe meet the ambulance half way = 30 minutes. Not unreasonable in the heat of the moment to just go for it without really thinking.

[@YourFavoriteNoodles]

As someone who used to live in the middle of nowhere, I would 100% start driving to a hospital before making a 911 call. Sometimes addresses way out there are hard to find and to wait all that time for emergency services to get to you then go all the way to the hospital from that point would take so much time. A few minutes could mean life or death.

[@jenniferkeller5342]

That was exactly what I said when I heard this part. I grew up in the country, and it would take a long while for EMS to get to us, we would have Totally started driving. I feel this case is a Huge injustice.

[@posthumousmood1426]

When I lived in rual wyoming the nearest hospital was 45 min to call an ambulance and have them drive you back would take to long. 100% driving straight to the er.

[@kerriberry3592]

AGREED!

[@elizabethdavis5661]

I grew up on a farm in middle of nowhere Iowa. When I was a kid we didn't even have street names and house numbers. My address was Rural Route 1 Box 292. You have an emergency? You drive to the hospital and maybe the ambulance can meet you on the way. Cell service is spotty in areas, so it's normal to call on the way. His logic makes perfect sense.

[@MidnightKitsune777]

Exactly! I live like 20 minutes away from the hospital in the mountains. When we've had to call 911 for my mother, it would take them 30-40 minutes to get to/find us. So it just ends up being quicker if we took her ourselves.

[@witchmore]

This is driving me nuts because the entire time I'm listening to the story I'm like why is no one questioning the son???????

[@katiehunt2978]

I kept thinking it was going to be revealed as the son. He found out his mum was cheating on his dad, maybe gave her something hence the dizziness, 'went to get water' and committed the crime! Maybe that's why he was so shaken up and traumatised in the car.. he could have also made the Google searches on his dads ipad

[@vanessaschaub3395]

I was thinking the same thing. Like growing up in a small town, it could take an hour or more for an ambulance to even arrive, and that’s way to long to wait around while a loved one is hurt or dying. So him getting her in the truck and leaving before calling the ambulance as he’s leaving makes literally so much sense to me.

[@majicchoneyy]

[@averyv8313]

Personally, I think that Todd was trying to cover for his son. Tristan’s story was the only one that changed AND he was the one who “found” his mom. Perhaps he saw an opportunity to overpower his mom in her weak state because he knew she was having affairs and thought his dad was being too lenient. And *IF* Tristan did it, he would have likely had blood on him, and that’s why Todd laid her body across him and Tristan in the car. So that the blood could be dismissed by doing this. Also, I have a difficult time believing a grown adult would search about ancient cultures doing away with adulterers. I don’t know, just seems kind of childish to me. On top of jewelry searches and Pinterest, other people besides Todd used the iPad. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit: I’m watching some of the court trial right now because at this point I’m invested, lol. And the son DID know about the affair! He said that his dad brought it up to him a few times.... motive? I think yes.

Literally I live in Iowa not too far from Anamosa and I'm certain that's what happened. With a lot of these small towns they don't have their own fire department/ambulance/police/emergency services. You have to go to the nearest city for that. So when something happens in a small town, ambulances take F O R E V E R to get there and THEN they take F O R E V E R to get back to the hospital. It's honesetly just faster to go to the hospital yourselves, and alert 911 while you're already on your way.

As a 911 operator for almost 10 years, it’s not uncommon for people in rural areas to take it upon themselves to drive people to the hospital, sometimes it can take up to a half an hour for an ambulance just to get to the scene of the accident. I’ve taken a lot of calls from people who call 911 while they’re en route to the hospital with the person because they feel like they can get them to the hospital sooner than waiting for the ambulance to get to them and then transport back to the hospital which in a lot of cases is true.

[@paigeelliott3395]

911 dispatcher here too, and yes! We have many calls like this. I work in a rural county and in certain parts of the county it can take up to 45 minutes for ems to arrive. Def not uncommon for this to happen.

[@Pluto_Is_A_Planet_]

Very true! I grew up in a very small town like this. There were less than 500 people in my town, and we were almost an hour from the next town over where the closest hospital was located. 911 wasn't even used much because of that. If someone had an emergency, you hopped in a car and had someone take you.

[@sbfairy]

ER nurse here. This absolutely happens. I used to worked in a town where the next nearest hospital was 20 miles away. At least once a week someone would do something like this. Also, people do this all the time with their children. It’s rare (I don’t work in a children’s hospital but the city I live in now has one) for a child to come to my hospital by EMS. I’ve taken care of very sick/injured kids whose parents just tossed them in the car and drove them. This is not uncommon.

[@amandak3198]

We are not even that far out of town and when I was having a miscarriage my husband drove me to the hospital. Its double time if you wait for an ambulance. There's only so much EMT's can do, they are there to try and get you stable enough to get to a hospital where they have more resources. If you are needing surgery to stop internal bleeding, that's not happening in an ambulance.

i agree with you. it's either call 911 and have responders drive out to the farm and then back to the hospital, which would take twice the amount of time, or drive there to the hospital himself. it's a hard decision but in the moment, i can see how he would decide to drive her there himself.

[@NancyJK97]

I do not understand why Tristan was not questioned more thoroughly. 1) He was the first person to find his mom. What if he found her in a compromised position and took advantage of the opportunity? She would not have suspected him to hurt her, so she wouldn’t have struggled with him too much. 2) He left his dad and went to get water changing the time he was gone throughout the course of the investigation. Suspish 3) Tristan most likely would have been able to turn off of the cameras just as easily as his dad. 4) He also would have been able to use his dads iPad to make google searches. 5) He played sports with the Jerry’s kids, is it possible the kids found out about the affair and Tristan decided to take matters into his own hands? 6) Also, do you think Tristan was planning on eventually taking over the farm? Perhaps the idea of divorce and having the farm broken up would have spoiled his future plans? I lived in rural PA most of life and though farming is hard work, it’s also a fairly lucrative business that perhaps Tristan was willing to give up? I’ve got so many questions here.

[@NaivaxWolf]

I didn't even think about Tristan and Jerry's kids. That could be an angle. It's entirely possible either Tristan or Todd found the search history for the wedding dresses and jewelry. I would be more interested in WHEN these searches took place.

Also, for the mayan part, what if he was learning about them in school and that's why he searched it?

[@dannydelosreyes888]

Hey guys don’t forget that the son actually totally changed his story during the trial... I’m thinking as many others in the comments section that Todd might be covering his son’s mistake... Maybe the son just lost control and called his dad right after attacking the mother and the dad just thought that he wouldn’t want his son to ruin his life so he took all the blame... Think of it that way, the search history was a little off to me and his son might have just gone carried away when rumors started spreading that her mom was cheating, and even probably insulted, you know how it is with kids. Maybe he thought that his dad doing nothing wasn’t right and confronted his mother in the barn. If she didn’t have any remorse or told him she wanted to leave his father, taking some of their money, their family life and everything, he might have lost it... Pushed her or something and accidentally killed her... I don’t know it’s just a theory but I’m really thinking that the dad wasn’t going to go that far because he already had been cheating on and handled it really well at the time... He wanted this to work for his family and probably was ready to still try to figure it out after everything... The story of the son seems so off when the dad never changed his version...

Growing up on a beef ranch, I know first hand, you are taught from a very young age that bad things can happen if you're not careful around farm equipment. If something does happen, you start driving to the hospital, then call for help because help simply can't get to you fast enough and it could be the difference between life and death. You also take on farm responsibilities from a young age. You learn about life's beginnings and ends very early. It does not surprise me at all that he started driving, then called 911. The ambulance can get to them faster if he can meet them half way. It also doesn't surprise me that the mother was laid on the son's lap. The father was the only one who could drive, so that left the oldest child to jump in and help stabilize. This is incredibly sad and I feel so badly for this family.

However keeping the heart pumping oxygen to her brain is also important so CPR needed to get started. Hence him stopping to preform CPR once it was brought to his attention.

[@Katy-ys6rn]

My husband and I were screaming all of these things at the TV!! I completely agree and think a lot of his actions are understandable when you are familiar with extremely rural living and the silent reserved farmer type. He reacted in a way that would have given his wife the best chance, not like a man that wanted her dead. So sad...

[@amandaholtmann782]

My boyfriend farms and his address always sends anyone to the wrong location.. so living out in the middle of nowhere it seems like common sense to drive anyone closer to town.. especially if there is someone to stabilize the injured person or do CPR on the way. Or if the locations aren’t 100% accurate like they are when you live in town, that could cost a life too.

[@juliascotti3818]

I'm pretty sure if Todd had been dramatic when the officer told him he was a suspect they would be like "hmmm he's acting too dramatic"

[@hyunjinsamericano2650]

EXACTLY!! like if the whole "he wasn't dramatic enough" thing was logical, it would go both ways. meaning you'd have to have an extremely specific reaction to get them to believe you. and i highly doubt that everyone would have the same reaction to hearing that..

[@nicolepetrie843]

Ain’t that the truth though 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@e.starling141]

Actually thats not really true. Most people that are innocent vehemently deny their involvement. Its sort if a guttural respone to being accused of somethjng so heinous that you had nothing to do with. A person who reacts calmly and says "why do you say that?" is the exception to the rule. Most innocent people will get angry and defiant, and interrogators know this. I watched an interesting video about this concept. For me personally i had an incident not long ago where i was falsely accused of something at my work and I was livid. Its one of the worst things to be accused of something bad that you didnt do. Which is why i think its better a guilty man goes free than an innocent man go to prison.

[@alexandriahanson-brandsoy9328]

This story keep me up at night and I think about it so often. I am from Iowa about 2hrs away from Earlville Iowa and I always thought on why nobody has mentioned or questioned the son?!?! Also am from a small town and it isn’t the greatest, everyone knows everything almost about you.

[@sarahlaux6746]

Weird how the son wasn’t questioned as a suspect considering there were only two people on the farm and his story changed

[@kristysheets9580]

Also, there were 2 younger kids inside correct? I wonder what thier ages were and why he didn't just have his son stay home with them.

[@Von582]

That's what I thought. He left and had to go past the barn. Why wasn't he questioned?

[@barbbutler13]

Agreed!

[@tamyat.9762]

Yes I was just about to say that I was thinking that the whole time. It’s very weird to me how he switched up his alibi, he didn’t hear nothing, he probably has access to the cameras, and how long did it take for you to get water. He’s very suspicious his motive could’ve been how he found out his mother was in an affair and about her plans to divorce and just lashed out

[@sophieprovost472]

Did the kid know of the affair? Were they a religious family and the kid is faithful to his faith? And like another person said, why wasn't the kid questioned.

What if it was the son? Like everyone in town had been gossiping about her having an affair so the son “went to get some water” but really he killed her.

[@constancephifer869]

[@anon0268]

Tristan, the son, went for "a drink of water" and he "doesn't know how long it took him". And the Google searches were very childish. And a father would never accuse their own son as a possibility. This is truly disappointing.

[@crystalc.8463]

Exactly, I had the same thoughts about the son and the searches. And if he was at the house, he could have confronted his mother, cleaned up, and gone back. If she was already cold by the time they pulled the car over, she was likely dead the entire time.

[@jayleenmay5099]

I THOUGHT THAT TO

[@saradiogo3158]

It was the son. Why? he was the only one who left the barn, he changed his story twice, was the one who found her and covered in blood. The google searches: So, the husband was cheated 3 times and only in the 3rd time searched for signs of a cheating wife? No, the son found out, did the searches (aztecs was probably a school subject and he searched it for curiosity), saw how bad this was being to his dad and killed her.

[@timurlengiaeuotica8848]

The wife was clearly feeling guilty about cheating. Maybe she searched what the aztecs did out of her own guilt. Maybe she wanted to give him a little hint because of her own guilt.

[@playradioplay121]

Honestly I would have reacted just like Todd I would have thrown my spouse into the back of the car and started driving as close to the hospital as I can while calling 911. Therefore they don't have to go as far. When your loved one is dying in front of you you never know how you're going to react

As a person who lives on a farm, I would like to know WHERE Tristan went to get water. Did he just go to the nearest sink? Drink it out of the hose? Go to the office? Walk all the way back to the house? If someone had only asked him that we would have a lot more information about how long he was gone. Personally, I think it was either an accident or it was Tristan.

[@Ashley-my2vu]

I thought this as well. He said it was only a minute or two and then changed his mind to say he wasn’t sure, but if they asked him where the water was they could much more easily come up with a timeline. I think the kid did it honestly.

[@wendymarieglew6548]

I agree, that's definitely f*cked up to do that to a kid. Even if he did for it why didn't his lawyer fight for him. Looks like they were court appointed with a heavy workload so didn't keep their eye on the ball and let the prosecution just hang him out to dry. This guy deserves another trial and maybe get KKW to defend him (sorry about that last bit but she could use her celebrity status to shed light on it all and put the dizzy spells into the forefront of the jurors thinking) i also think if he did do it why would he again put his child through hearing him make that 911 call and having his mother probably die in his lap? Do many questions unanswered but the main one is the guy was probably or most likely in shock so showed no emotion but that police officer who initially questioned him was like a cat with a mouse and had a theory and the prosecution went with it. Where as their investigation, did they do one or just rely on that one officers "get instinct that something wasn't right because he was emotion less" the guy just lost his wife ffs !!

rewatching this again, and i’m wondering two things: why didn’t they assume it was the son? maybe he was the one who was searching up the creepy google searches [mom more than likely was looking up wedding dresses for her and Jerry?] (i thought this the first time, but my brain got going) and two, why didn’t they test the corn rake for prints other than todd’s?

[@emilamaa]

I immediately was like what about the other kids like they had 3 kids ????

[@rachelthompson2058]

I just finished watching this and i feel the son had the opportunity to do this while back at the "house" getting water. Maybe he was angry about what his mum had done (twice now) I also wonder what happened to the other two kids when they got in the truck to go to the hospital? So many questions! Guilty or not guilty his sentence was extreme for a case with no physical evidence.

[@celinasophie5848]

RIGHT! I immediately thought it was the son! I mean he found her, he went to „get a glass of water“ and he was probably mad at his mom for cheating. Maybe his dad is trying to protect him

I was wondering about the other 2 children that where in the house. If the son got water,wouldn't the other 2 kids be able to verify that?

Apparently, it was later said that it was in fact his son's searches because "they had studied something about the Aztecs". HTF was that not questioned or brought up??? It's obvious he knew about the affairs by the searches alone!

[@moonbells3763]

Hi hello, as someone who grew up with a farmer as a dad I want to say that all of his actions made complete sense to me and that the investigators clearly didn’t understand how farmer men are. Most of them aren’t very emotional and can appear really cold when they do in fact care deeply about things, and everything that was listed about Tod being the paranoid one and wanting to make the marriage work only proves that exact instance to me. They act on instinct. As a farmer you have to be on your toes *especially* in an emergency and you end up acting on impulse and try and figure things out as you go along, his first instinct to put her in the truck makes sense because it was the first thing he thought of to do and in a rural area it would’ve been a quicker way to get to the hospital then to sit there and wait 45 minutes or longer for an ambulance. He acted on impulse, as farmers do. I believe that Tod is innocent and I’m with everyone here that the one that needs to be questioned is Tristan- he’s the only one that left his dad for any amount of time, changed his story, and of course is the one everyone would least expect. His motive could’ve been he found out about his mom’s divorce plan and didn’t want to leave? maybe he somehow figured out of caught on that she was cheating on Tod *again*? I feel like he really needed to be looked into more, there’s so many things that make no sense…
