1
James had slipped and fell.
2
So his shoes were wet, slippery, and he had hit his head.
3
So I went to the bathroom, I came out, he was gone. Did it kill him?
4
Just tell me where his body's at.
5
On a February evening, Brittany and her boyfriend pulled over deep in the Ohio forests with a plan to abandon James, their six-year-old child.
6
However, as they went to drive away, James was tragically dragged under the wheels of the car and had his life taken.
7
Days later, they walked into the Middleton Police Department claiming James had gone missing.
8
A search began for the boy immediately, but police knew something was wrong.
9
Their story was full of holes and the couple seemed nervous, so they were each taken into an interrogation room with a detective determined to get to the bottom of things.
10
I'm Detective Hoover, okay?
11
They called me and my partner out for anything to do with children.
12
So, this is real important, this part, is you have to be 100% honest with me with everything.
13
Her boyfriend, who was also called James, was in another room at the same police station, and detectives are going to compare their stories.
14
There were many red flags right off the bat in this case, as the couple claimed he had been missing for most of the night before they decided to contact police.
15
If your six-year-old had gone missing, you'd likely be doing everything you can to get them back as soon as possible, so the cops were sure something sinister was afoot.
16
So what happened?
17
What time did you guys go to bed last night?
18
The kids go to bed at 9.
19
Okay.
20
And we normally go to bed at 10.
21
Last morning I told them all it was 9 o'clock time for bed.
22
So they all went upstairs to the rooms.
23
And I went upstairs a little bit later to see if they were asleep.
24
Sure.
25
And they were all asleep.
26
So then that's when I came down, waited a couple minutes just to see if they might have come down stairs or something.
27
And then I went to bed.
28
Yeah.
29
Okay.
30
What time did you get up this morning?
31
He woke me up at 8.
32
He woke you up at 8?
33
Okay.
34
He said he tried waking up several times, but...
35
But you don't remember?
36
I'm from medicine, so...
37
What kind of medicine do you take?
38
I take anxiety medicine.
39
Okay.
40
This is where I need you to be honest with me.
41
It is what it is.
42
Okay.
43
Do you use any other type of narcotics, drugs, illegal drugs, or anything?
44
Do you smoke weed?
45
No. Okay.
46
You don't use heroin?
47
You don't use...
48
No. I've had family members...
49
Okay.
50
Do you know if your boyfriend does?
51
Does he use any type of dope at all?
52
Not that you know of.
53
Well, you would know more than anybody.
54
That's what I'm asking.
55
You're not going to get him into any trouble.
56
I just need to know if you're being honest with me.
57
That's what I'm trying to feel.
58
I mean, I've never seen it.
59
I mean, we smoke cigarettes.
60
I'm not talking about that.
61
I said drugs, illegal drugs. Of course.
62
A lot of people smoke cigarettes.
63
A lot of people smoke weed.
64
A lot of people use heroin.
65
I mean, he smokes weed, but that's the only thing I know.
66
Okay, that's all I know.
67
I don't know if he does anything else.
68
Okay, you don't need to protect him.
69
I'm just getting a feel for you, if you're going to be honest.
70
I just need you to be honest with me, honestly.
71
Brittany appears to have a little trouble opening up about her boyfriend's drug habit.
72
This can help the detective determine whether she is being honest in the future, as she should treat opening up about later details with similar ease.
73
They continue to go over the details for the morning James went missing, but during this line of questioning, Brittany begins to show some concerning signs.
74
What time did James say that he first noticed James missing, the six-year-old missing?
75
Well, I don't know what time he exactly got up, but he normally, every day normally, he gets up around four, anywhere from four to five,
76
maybe sometimes a little later, but...
77
When Britney is asked more questions about her boyfriend, she appears to look up and to the left.
78
There's a lot of contention around eye movements while recalling information.
79
Some say the direction that someone looks is a direct tell for if someone is lying, but it's never a guaranteed indication.
80
However, the mere act of suddenly avoiding eye contact with a detective while answering is a more solid sign, as many people associate eye contact with trust.
81
Thus, it's often hard for people to maintain a gaze while lying, whereas those trying to argue the truth will often look directly into the detective's eyes to seem more believable.
82
And how long was he gone for?
83
Um, I don't know when he was outside, but we found out, well, he found them at the, you know how there's basement stairs?
84
Mm-hmm.
85
Well, he found them at the bottom of the basement stairs.
86
I don't know what he was doing, but...
87
Is there only one way to get into your basement?
88
Yeah.
89
That's from the outside?
90
Mm-hmm.
91
Okay.
92
The fact that James has been missing before is another red flag for the detective.
93
It's possible James is just an adventurous child and tries to slip away at every opportunity he gets.
94
But it could also be a sign of abuse or neglect in the home.
95
Either way, it's giving the detective all the more reason to be suspicious.
96
what to do and my job is to help them through that because sometimes it is what it is.
97
If something happens and your parents freak out, you know, don't know what to do.
98
So is there anything else before I walk out of here, this is your opportunity to be 100% straight with me.
99
I suspect James or I got mad at the boy last night
100
and I spanked him and he took off out the door or just anything weird is fine to tell me.
101
You're not going to tell me anything that's going to surprise me.
102
Okay?
103
No. I mean...
104
Did you hurt your baby?
105
No. I love my kids.
106
I would never.
107
Okay.
108
Do you know who hurt your baby?
109
No. Do you know your baby's whereabouts right now?
110
Okay.
111
Do you suspect James is doing anything to your baby?
112
No. Okay.
113
You're 100% sure on that one?
114
Yeah, he knows I'm like I'm worried about him.
115
Okay.
116
that the detective is making a conscious effort to refer to James as her baby.
117
This is in a direct attempt to exact an emotional reaction from Britney.
118
This kind of specific word holds a lot more weight than just kid or child, as it portrays James as more vulnerable.
119
The detective is also trying to let Britney know that he's sure something is wrong, and as he'll soon find out, his instincts are absolutely correct.
120
What was the needle that we found down at the, there was a needle found at the side door.
121
You know anything about that?
122
So do you use needles for any of your medication?
123
No, there's, the people next door do drugs.
124
Okay, so maybe it was from one of them, is that what you're saying?
125
Yeah.
126
Have you ever seen?
127
We always see a whole bunch of people just walking in through the, cutting through basically.
128
Have you ever seen James, you had any needles?
129
So you said something about James does work,
130
like doing electrical work for houses like Reynolds I would assume
131
yes I can get some ready who does he work for Taylor it's only gonna know his name is Taylor
132
and was Taylor just getting the keys of these are they all bacon I would assume I don't want like
133
when they put people out and they get addicted and they sit people's stuff out.
134
I don't know if they sit it out, put it in the dumpster.
135
I don't know what they do.
136
Does he have like keys in the house?
137
James, does he have keys in the houses and stuff?
138
I guess that he works for.
139
I have.
140
Did he ever come in with a bunch of, I mean you would know, I mean did he come in with a bunch of keys or?
141
He's always had the same key that he's had.
142
But nothing like extra keys.
143
Basically I'm waiting for my guy to come here here.
144
He's going to do the polygraph for me.
145
We'll just kind of go from there.
146
Brittany now tries to avoid the questions regarding her boyfriend's drug use.
147
But if she does agree to take a polygraph test, then the truth could finally be revealed.
148
All this time, there have been people searching for James, hoping to find signs of life.
149
But as we'll later find out, his body isn't anywhere near where they're looking.
150
I'm getting a story that is totally different than what you've told me.
151
And I don't know why James is telling me that, but that's what he's telling me.
152
He's wanting more details than that.
153
Okay, but I'm not going to share that with you.
154
I need to know what happened last night with your boy, your six-year-old.
155
A six-year-old doesn't get up and walk out the door, okay?
156
There's more to the story than what you're telling me.
157
Okay, I've talked to James.
158
My partner's talked to James extensively, and James is coming off of this slowly.
159
I would suggest for you, just tell me the truth now.
160
He might have told me more now.
161
I don't know.
162
I've been in here with you, okay?
163
But James, he took a deep breath, and I suggest that to you.
164
Take a drink of your pop, take a deep breath, and just tell me what's going on here.
165
Now, Brittany finds herself in a position where she might doubt exactly what James has told detectives in the other room.
166
And she finally cracks.
167
James told me to get rid of the kid.
168
Okay.
169
And so I took them for a drive to make them think I want to get rid of them,
170
but I'm not going to get rid of my kids for anybody on the planet.
171
Even though she's getting closer to the truth, Brittany is still trying to deceive the detective by trying to convince him
172
that getting rid of her kids isn't something she'd really do, despite that being exactly what she's guilty of.
173
I don't know what rude it was.
174
Okay.
175
And we were just driving around.
176
Well, the kids were going to the bathroom.
177
I had pulled over to this little booth. In Middletown?
178
Yeah.
179
Okay.
180
It's a little stall or something.
181
The bathroom.
182
I pulled over to the bathroom and let them all use the bathroom.
183
While it was raining and stuff, I left the door unlocked in the van and told them, we'll all go in here,
184
not all of us at once, but each one of us go in here one at a time, use the bathroom.
185
So we went in the bathroom.
186
Well, I couldn't go there, but when I went to go in the bathroom, I told them, go ahead and just get in the van.
187
Well, James had slipped and fell.
188
He was wet, slippery, and he had hit his head.
189
The problem here is simple.
190
If James had simply hit his head, then why not just get medical help then and there?
191
Britney is trying to take away as much blame as she can from herself.
192
The truth was, Britney had simply decided she wanted to get rid of her kids for good, allegedly at the request of her boyfriend.
193
Both she and James drove her three children to Rush Run Wildlife Area in southern Preble County, where they had a change of heart and decided to only leave their youngest, James.
194
But as they tried to drive away from the park without him, he tried to grab onto the car and was dragged under the wheels.
195
Sadly, the accident killed him and Brittany and James returned to find his body in the road.
196
The detective's suspicions have been right all along.
197
After Brittany and James drove home, they placed the six-year-old's body in a spare room of their house before they dumped his body off a bridge
198
that crosses the Ohio River.
199
Did it kill him?
200
Is that what you're telling me?
201
Did it fall or hurt him?
202
Well, I asked him if he was okay.
203
He wasn't answering.
204
So I noticed he was breathing kind of heavy.
205
And I thought maybe that's not normal.
206
I've never seen him blurry landscape before.
207
Well, he was breathing.
208
I don't know how long he was breathing for.
209
But he had fell and bust his head on the side of the van and trying to get in there.
210
And he was breathing heavy for a couple minutes and then I try to do CPR.
211
So he stopped breathing, and where's his body at?
212
You're doing good, okay?
213
Just tell me where his body's at, because I've got to go find him. For you, okay?
214
This is called cloder now, okay?
215
Where's his body at?
216
Would you take it back home with you?
217
No, I left it.
218
You left it?
219
So who's all in the car with you?
220
James, you, and the three children.
221
So all five of you?
222
Yes.
223
All right.
224
And what park was this or where was this at in the old town?
225
Because it would make sense to me.
226
Did you put him in a dumpster?
227
Did you let him lay right there?
228
Was he buried?
229
I mean, that's what I need to know.
230
I didn't do nothing with him.
231
I just let him lay in the parking lot because it was a plain parking lot there was, I believe, water over here or something.
232
And there was one little stall, and I left him just lay on the ground.
233
Okay, did James do anything with him?
234
Your boyfriend?
235
I mean, it doesn't make sense just laying right there on the ground.
236
Well, I left him laying in there on the ground, because I was gonna call the ambulance, but I was scared, shook up, to know what to do.
237
Okay.
238
So now we need to figure out where this is at.
239
Well, he, the little boy was laying on the ground.
240
I went to the bathroom and told him, you try real quick.
241
I couldn't hold myself.
242
I told him, you try real quick to give him CPR.
243
And so I went to the bathroom.
244
I came out.
245
He was gone.
246
Regardless of how true her story is, Brittany has now told the detective that James is dead.
247
The priority is to find him.
248
After Brittany details the moment they dumped his body, police are able to search the area, but despite their best efforts, they would never find him.
249
Brittany would plead not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming that she had a learning disability and did not understand what was happening.
250
But an evaluation by a psychologist showed that she was competent to stand trial.
251
Of course, both were found guilty, and Brittany would face the harshest punishment she would be sentenced to murder and child endangerment, totaling 21 years in prison.
252
James, on the other hand, was found guilty of kidnapping, child endangerment, and gross abuse of a corpse, and would be given the maximum sentence of 19 years.

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 것인가요?

영어 회화 실력을 키우고자 하는 중급 이상 학습자, 특히 IELTS 스피킹 준비생이나 일상 대화에서 자연스러운 발화를 원하는 분들에게 적합합니다. 비디오 속 탐문 대화는緊張감 넘치는 상황에서의 구어체를 담고 있어, 실제 의사소통에서 필요한 긴장감 조절과 명확한 표현력을 연습할 수 있습니다. shadow speech (쉐도잉) 연습에도 최적화되어 있어, 발음, 리듬, 억양을 동시에 연습할 수 있습니다.

빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구

  • full of holes: "구멍이 많다"라는 뜻으로, 이야기에 논리적 결함이 많음을 나타냅니다. 예: "Their story was full of holes." (그들의 이야기는 논리가 엉켜 있었다.)
  • get to the bottom of things: "사실의 본질을 알아내다"입니다. 탐정이 사건의 진상을 밝힐 때 자주 사용됩니다.
  • red flags: "위험 신호"로, 의심스러운 점이나 문제가 될 만한 징후를 말합니다. 예: "There were many red flags in their story." (그들의 이야기에 많은 의심스러운 점이 있었다.)

어떻게 발음을 제대로 배울 수 있을까요?

이 비디오의 화자들은 미국 중부 지역의 억양을 가지고 있어, 단어 간의 연결음과 리듬이 중요합니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 할 때는 다음 점을 주의하세요. 먼저, "I take anxiety medicine"에서 "take anxiety" 사이의 연결음을 살펴보세요. /t/와 /æ/가 자연스럽게 이어져 /teɪkænˈzaɪəti/처럼 들립니다. 둘째, "Do you use any other type"에서 "any other"의 /n/이 /ʌ/로 이동하여 /eniˈʌðər/가 됩니다. 셋째,疑問문의 억양을 연습하세요. "Did it kill him?"에서 마지막 단어 "him"은 상승语调가 아니라 하강语调로 발음되어, 긴장감을 나타냅니다. shadowing site나 shadowspeak 방법을 사용하여 반복 연습하면, 자연스러운 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
