It's my turn." >> Okay.

They were aware of of what was going on and that was pretty much the extent of it. >> But you made no independent investigation of the speaking with the District Attorney's Office. >> No, I did not. >> When did this investigation begin? >> It was in the evening. I think it was February the 18th. >> It did not The investigation in this case did not begin until February of 20 >> 19. >> 2020. >> 2020? >> Yes, I'm sorry. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> So prior to that there was no pending investigation. >> About About missing child? >> Yeah. >> No. >> There was no investigation whatsoever. >> No, as soon as the DCS referral came in, that was our first knowledge of it. Our My first knowledge of it. >> Judge, if I could have one more. Lieutenant Price, were you there on February the 23rd when Mr. Boswell's property was searched with the cadaver dogs? >> I was not. >> Thank you. >> Did you see Hunter with Evelyn anytime? >> No, ma'am. >> So, this is critical because Evelyn goes missing shortly after Megan Boswell starts dating Hunter Wood. And that's another part of Carter's testimony that's important when it comes to the timeline in the case in December of 2019. Caitlin, is this one of the pictures you received from Megan Boswell? It was at via text? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. And did she indicate that Evelyn was with her that day? >> No, ma'am. >> Did she send you any pictures of her with Evelyn that day? >> No, ma'am. >> Did she seem to be upset at all that day when she sent you these pictures? >> No. >> Okay. Did she also send you this photograph from that same day? >> Yes, ma'am. >> And you can you tell me what the date is that's behind her on the photograph? Can you read that? >> On the top? >> Yeah. >> It says 2019. >> Okay. And you may not recall, but if you do, do you remember when those photographs were sent to you? >> I do not recall. >> Okay. Would it have been after early December? >> Yes, ma'am. >> because it would have been, you said, she started dating Hunter 1 to 2 weeks after the beginning of December, is that right? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. So, is it fair to say it was at least 1 to 2 weeks after mid-December? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Is that fair? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. So, from mid-December is Well, let me say this. Prior to Thanksgiving of 2019, did Megan talk a lot about Evelyn? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Did you see her post a lot about Evelyn? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. What about mid-December? Is she still doing that? >> No, ma'am. >> Okay. >> [clears throat] >> At some point, did you did you ask her where Evelyn was? >> Yes. >> What did she say? >> She said that she was with her father. >> Okay. When you say her father, do you know who do you think she was talking about or who was she talking about? >> She was speaking of Ethan. >> Okay. Did she say why Evelyn was with Ethan? >> Yes, ma'am. >> What did she say? >> She said that Ethan came home and got emergency custody. >> Okay. Did she ever show you any paperwork? >> No, ma'am. >> That becomes important, too, because Ethan did not have Evelyn with him. That was one of the first stories that Megan Boswell told. But, the defense tried to make some points through Carter's testimony. >> Ms. Carter, you described Evelyn as being dirty that day. >> Yes, sir. >> Had you ever seen Evelyn dirty before? >> No, sir. >> Did you ever see any signs of abuse? >> No, sir. >> Did Megan seem like a loving mother to you? >> Yes, sir. >> Um did she seem devoted to Evelyn? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Um did you ever see her neglect her in any [clears throat] way? >> No, sir. >> There was even more damaging testimony about Evelyn's condition that came from a woman who baby sat her for Megan Boswell. >> You said you baby sat her last in November to early December. >> Yes. >> So, this would have been taken around that time. >> Yes. >> Okay. And and does Evelyn to you appear healthy here? >> Um pardon? >> Did she Was she healthy? >> Oh, yes. >> Okay. And was she walking? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you remember the the last day that you baby sat Evelyn? >> Um pretty much. >> Okay. Do you remember what time Megan picked Evelyn up that day? >> It was late that night. Say, maybe 10, 10:30. >> Okay. >> [snorts] >> And you may not recall, but do you recall the date? >> I'm not sure. >> Okay. Did did Megan indicate that she needed you to babysit again after that day? >> No, she said that she wouldn't need me no more. >> Okay. >> How many love letters did you write to Evelyn while she's been gone? >> None. >> Why? >> Why would I write her love letters? >> You can talk to her when she's older. Remember that time that you were missing? Every single day I wrote you 10 letters. I was out beating the bushes trying to find you. I want to be honest with you. Let's go back talk about the plan. I don't think you were in there for this. I told you we had a plan, right? I've said that 3 days ago. I said we put it on there if we needed to. Somebody walked by and just said something about a plane and she looked at me, right? And you realized I was being honest with you, right? I'm going to be honest with you, right now. Do you know why I think you ain't been out looking for Evelyn? >> Why? >> It's two things. You kind of wanted the same. You know where she is, okay? >> I don't know exactly where she is. >> Or you know she's dead. >> No. >> Now's the time to talk. Is Evelyn dead? >> Not that I know of unless Mom has done something. I would never hurt her. She's my daughter. >> Okay. You're not out here doing all that you can find your daughter. It's two reasons. You know where she is or she's dead. >> Evelyn is safe. If something has >> [ __ ] What you're saying right here. >> [music] >> Say you and your mom can't find Evelyn and she won't tell where she's at. You get out looking for her, but you just after all this you're with her, right? >> I didn't >> Mom goes goes to the Blowing Rock, North Carolina and you said this is the seats from where you and your mom were there. But where's Evelyn at now? >> I don't know. Mom wouldn't tell me anything. >> Where is she? >> Mom would not tell me. I told you that already. >> So you went along with her? >> I didn't >> You went with her You went with your mother on a trip to Blowing Rock to goof after around and your little girl yellow horse said. Is that what you want me to believe? >> I'm being honest. >> That's not what I asked. You went You've got detail after detail after detail after detail of this little girl. Her whole entire life. You can tell us specifically this to the day to the hour of what was going on in your child's life until here. >> I don't know. >> Look at [music] me. >> I love you. >> There's no way. There's no way. I'm a parent. There's no way. No way you don't know. It's impossible. >> I honestly thought she was with my mother. Every time I I've been honest. Every time I asked my mom, she'd be like, "She's in a safe place. Don't worry about it." I don't know what else you all want to know. I've given you every Like, you know, place I can find my mother and I'm trying to help you all as much as I possibly can. >> It doesn't make sense. Look, where is she? >> I don't know. If I knew, we wouldn't be here in this room. >> Something happened December 21st. >> Something happened before December 21st. >> What is it? >> You all know that. The 14th and 16th was the last time that I saw her. >> We don't know that. We know that's what you're telling us, okay? And we also know that you lied to us. You spent about 6 hours lying to me, okay? I don't know when to believe you. Now, everything you tell me I have to verify, okay? Everything I told you has come true, >> [music] >> right? >> Right. >> We're not going to lie to you. I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up your ass. I I'm not. But there comes a point that we just got to talk about facts and reality. I mean, here's something else that really like really really bugs me. You go looking for apartments with You're willing to look for a place to live, you told us yesterday for you Have you given this baby a name yet? >> I don't know gender. >> Okay. You go out hunting for apartments and not Evelyn. For you and the new baby. You put on that application three people will live there. That's three of you, the new baby. Evelyn's hung out to dry. That's why in my heart I believe Evelyn is dead [music] or you know where Evelyn is. >> I don't know where she's at. The last person that I knew that she was with was mom. >> Well >> And my mother called you back. >> Here's the monster you have to drive. There's something else you're not telling us. >> There's not. And I can 110% say that. I know I lied to you all before, but after I started telling you everything with mom, I've done nothing but tell you all the truth. And I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been talking more >> I know you have. >> and so forth. >> No, but you just I mean Do you not care about her? >> I do care about her. Why would we be up here? >> [ __ ] You don't care about her? She's been gone for how long? You never picked up the phone. You never called. Did you ask if anyone knew? No. We didn't know. I mean, we're we're two months behind finding her. >> You know I'll be honest about why I didn't call? >> Yeah. >> Please. I thought after mom talked to her, I thought you all were going to get her and would do anything, so I thought I'd do better to try to get her myself. >> So you're going to hear you're going to blame Mag- Maggie. That's not even believable. No, okay, that's a lie. >> Okay, whatever. >> I mean, I know man. I know Mom. >> And she may not like us, but do you like I said, do you believe everything she just told me a minute ago? You didn't believe everything she told you? >> Not only she said that, but a lot of everybody else. >> Who is this everybody? Have you ever Have you ever talked to law enforcement in your life? >> No. >> So, you're basing everything on what? Three or four people that are always in trouble with the public, dopehead, drug dealer, overdose victim. Hey, just a minute. Just a second. I'm going to walk over there and grab my work phone. He's been blowing my phone up. She's done more to help Evelyn than you ever did. So, if that what that excuse you just told us is true, I don't which I don't believe, it's insane because her daughter died and the police investigated it and for whatever reason weren't able to solve it, she still has hope that the same police, this man right here, can find your daughter. Do you want me to show you all the stuff she's been sending me? Do you want to see how many times she's called me today? >> buildings >> Okay. >> So, it is a Google Map looking >> Straight down. >> straight down over it and then you all have Is that a something that you all have overlaid the distances between the properties on top of that? >> Correct. >> Okay. >> And does it show the distance, I believe, I'm not looking at it right now, but between the the trailer and the playhouse where you all recovered the body? >> It does. >> And and what does it indicate the distance is? >> 50.34 feet, I believe. >> All right. And in in your in your Have you Have you found the information that's contained within Google Maps to be be accurate? >> Correct, it's very accurate. >> All right. >> I don't have any objection to this. >> I would judge that we need to make that exhibit 225. >> 225 >> All right, exhibit 225. >> I ask to publish that to the jury because He has a laser pointer Lieutenant Price. >> I do. >> All right. If you could kind of I know that's kind of tough to see but if you would point out where the the trailer is. I believe that's where >> Boswell lived. >> Correct. Right here. >> Okay. And then if you would >> Playhouse is over here. >> All right. And there's a distance there of 50.34 ft. Is that between the corner of the Boswell's trailer and the playhouse? Is that what we're >> Yes, that's correct. >> Thank you. >> I would like to ask you a couple more questions if I could. >> Uh Agent Price, uh I saw in the video at some point that y'all were giving Megan a cell phone. Is that right? >> We did. That's at one point in the investigation gave her a phone so we could communicate with her. >> Okay. Well, that that phone could also be used to track her, too, I assume. >> believes in us and believes in Evelyn more than you do. How's that going to come out? How's that going to look? Do you believe we can help you find Evelyn? >> Yes. I believe that we'd be up here every day. >> You believe in that or you want to say that? >> I believe you. >> I dare say she's called again since I've been sitting over here. >> If you on Facebook, all she did for like months was trash talk like every >> I don't give a damn about that. >> Okay. >> I I think crazy, okay? But she's trying. In her mind, she is trying. >> I'm trying to help you all but you are >> I want to ask you a question. Do you want to go home or do you want to help us? >> I'll stay here as long as you're not like You're not doing good here cuz then what's the point of being here if you don't think I'm doing any good. >> You're not. Are you going to give us any information other than what you've already told us? >> That's the only information I know to give to you. >> Do you know why Matt and I are the two that keep talking to you? >> Cuz I talked to you all more than anybody else. >> Not exactly. >> And I talked to you more I've told you more than I have anybody else. >> Not exactly. We're the only two out of the 40 damn people that are probably over there right now that have an inkling that you're telling us some truth. Everyone else over there thinks every word coming out of your mouth is a lie. And I can understand how they get that, okay? I think you're still lying to some, but I believe in you enough to think you told us some truth. You're not telling us all the truth. >> I have already told you everything that I know. >> loved this kid. You loved this kid. I'm sorry. I shouldn't say this kid to Evelyn. You loved Evelyn. You dated every minute and every second of her life. You You remember it. You can say that picture, remember putting that outfit on her this day she was happy. So on and so forth. And then comes in the picture don't like Evelyn. >> Evelyn's gone. >> Evelyn is gone. >> My mom had already taken her out at that point. The 14th through the 16th. >> Okay. So, That's when you started You started dating December 2nd or December 1st? >> Okay. >> I know that to be a fact. >> All right. >> That's when I started working at checking and started going to >> [clears throat] >> work a week later. >> Okay. So, let's say a week later, December 7th. The last credible sighting was not from you cuz you're not credible anymore. The last credible sighting was around December 7th. Now, finish your story. >> Okay. >> You start dating December 7th, you're going over to his house, no one sees Evelyn. >> It was after that. >> When? >> Probably around the 9th of June. >> Okay. >> When my mom started coming to help me babysit her. >> Two or three days later, boom. >> That's when my mom started coming to help me babysit. And those days, you can look at the schedule, I was at work from 6:00 a.m. to like 7:00 I I mean I was there I was there before 5:00 o'clock when they started opening until they closed. >> I don't care if you worked a 24-hour shift. Evelyn is gone. Okay? >> Well, she was out of town. >> If you cared about this little girl, if you cared about this little girl, you wouldn't have allowed this to start with. That's my opinion. I'll give you another opinion of mine. I think everybody that's been in working on this, I can't even count up my hours at this point. I haven't hardly any sleep. I talked to a lady in Nashville last night. I had a that I thought I had a dream about. I woke up this morning and looked I've actually talked to that lady. Okay? That's how long and how hard we've been working on this. Everybody over there, you know what they think? They think that all of them care more about Evelyn than you do. That's how it looks. If I were to write it down on paper, that's how it looks. Your actions make it seem like you don't care. If you do care, if you want me to walk over there and say, "Guys, guess what she just did. She just helped us out with this. She cares. You were all wrong. Matt and I were right. If you want me to go there and say that, help me. Give me the phone. >> know what else to tell you to help you. I have >> Well, I mean, we don't we can't even corroborate that your that your mom's the last one who did it, baby. I'm telling you. They're >> Why do you think you can't follow your mother? >> What? >> Yeah. >> I I have no idea. You tell us why. We've tried. We've tried our best. We got a freaking binder in the air trying to bind them. >> Okay, and that right there should tell you all something because people if I did something, I would be up here talking to you. I'd have been like, "I'm the lawyer, come up here." I wouldn't say anything. Tell me go or I would not. >> Okay. >> That's the reason why mom's not talking to you all. >> Why? Why? >> Because she knows she did her You know when Dallas sat here and Dallas was like, "Oh, well, she can't come home. She's going to have to leave. She can't come back. She's going to have to leave. She's going to have to go. She can't come back." Do you remember that? There has to be a reason for that. Do you not agree with me on that? >> I agree. Here's where we disagree. I think you know more. >> I don't know more. >> These guys These guys over at the Tolland County Sheriff's Office, they worked and lived here all their lives. They're familiar with your family, okay? I'm not trying to be derogatory towards you, but they're familiar with the Boswells. All right? You know what they told me this morning? The Boswells are a tight-knit family. They won't rat on each other. I think that is where this is coming from. I think you are doing what you were raised to do and not rat on anyone in your family. >> If I was going to rat on anyone in my family, I wouldn't have told you anything about my mom. And you know what? I did that first. And then I talked to them and then I was like, "Hey, you need to know what happened." And then I know if you noticed, but literally the second I got off the phone with them, what they're happening. >> I believe I believe I don't know. >> And then literally after I got off the phone with >> You can tell us why. You can tell us why. You told us your latest version of the truth, and then I got up to take a break, and you said, "Will you call my dad, but don't tell him what I told you." You told me that story before you talked to your dad. You didn't want him to know you would told, because he raised you to tell. >> I called him that morning. >> Okay. But you told us, "Don't tell Daddy what what you told us." >> And you know why? Because he's going to tell everyone on the whole family, "Hey, they're looking for her." >> He's trying to help us. >> Right, but he told them why. And I thought nobody was supposed to know. >> Did you think we'd put out an Amber Alert? >> No, I mean that he specifically called us and said, "Hey, I know she has the baby. Tell her to come give me the baby or take it to the sheriff's office." >> You think people weren't going to figure that out on their own? They're not smart enough for River. I did. Okay. >> Well, nobody I don't think >> Isn't that what she said? We're not smart enough. That I can't I I can't even fathom that. You didn't come to the police because we're not going to do nothing to help you. That's [ __ ] That's what it's like to have a dead baby. >> Okay. >> She's trying to help us. She don't want you to kill that. At this point, I can't tell if you know how that feels, because I don't know. >> I don't know how it feels, and I hope I never have to know how that feels. The whole time that he heard we were looking for a place, that's all I talked about was going to River Bend. >> Well, how do you know that he didn't know about that? >> He just didn't really comment on it. That's literally like if you talk to the lady at the apartments we looked at, you can ask her. >> You think we ain't already done that? >> I talked about my daughter. She knew that. She said she had two kids. >> Do you remember her showing you that Corey had killed that? I think we got that. >> Sometime, we'll still go. >> No, it's not. We'll We'll go. And look, we're not trying to be mean, hateful, jackass jerks. We're getting to the end of one here. >> And I have told you everything that I know and I'm trying to help you. >> Let me talk. We're getting to the We're getting to where there's not much more than you're helping us with. >> Cuz I don't have anything else to tell you all. >> That's what you say. >> I don't. >> Let me ask you ask you this. When When's your court date? >> 25th or the 26th. >> Is that Wednesday? >> Yes, it's Wednesday. >> What's your plan? What are you going to tell the judge? >> If I don't have or can produce a child, the judge is going to be arrested for being in contempt of court. >> Okay. How does that make you feel? >> I mean, not great, but I >> Have you ever been in jail before? >> No. >> I mean, if you have no place to be, I mean, no plan. >> Okay, well, I don't want to go to jail, but if I don't have anything else to tell you all, what am I I can't tell you anything else. I really don't >> you would have been I think you're at peace Whatever happened to this little girl, you're at peace with it. >> I'm not at peace with it. >> Well, you don't act like you're not at peace with it. That's what I think, too. I think you >> Wait, if if >> I think it's the 21st. 21st or 22nd. But you're That has been a two-month process. You're at peace with it. >> I'm not at peace with it. >> Well, What Why is it that that whatever wherever everyone is, whether she's alive or whether she's dead, you're at peace with it. >> I'm not at peace with it. >> We You don't show it. >> Just cuz I'm not crying all the >> I'm not saying crying all the time. It's all more than just crying all the time. I mean, like I said, I'm a parent. I have three kids of my own. If one of them and they're older, if one of them were gone, you you couldn't tie me down anywhere because I would be out if I was on foot in the snowstorm looking for them. But not you. You're out here at Bowlin Roll, Ripley's Aquarium, going to pick up >> uh >> Olive Garden. Life is normal for you. She's gone and you're at peace with it. >> I know. Isn't it abnormal? >> You're at peace with it. You're with He's taking He's He's You're with him, doing anything with him, run around here, going places. >> That does not mean I'm at peace. >> And Evelyn's gone. >> That doesn't mean that I'm at peace with it. >> How does it not? >> Because you were you were you were there, not here with her, not looking for her. You were there with him. >> Are you at peace with it? >> No. >> What are you not at peace with? >> I don't have my child. >> We know that. I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what looks what all of this, what looks the worst. I can't tell if it's the fact that you're going to Ripley's a week after your child has been missing 5 days, or the fact that you're picking up food, providing for somebody else, a random dude, basically. >> No, he gave me the money. >> Because you're going to get it. He got it for you. >> I didn't ask for it. >> Whatever. You ain't got it for you. Could have been looking for Evelyn. You're providing for somebody else. You're taking care of somebody else now. Blowing rock, however long you sit there. Yeah. Insurance in that box, in your baby box. >> I had to put it in there. >> And nobody else knows. Nobody else knows. You're hiding it, too. That's the other thing that that I can't understand. You're hiding it. You know you don't know where she's at. You're making excuse after excuse after excuse for people that ask you about her. "Well, she's here. She's there. She's here. She's there." I I know this. Facebook messages. We've been there, too. You I mean, we're not You know we've got all that, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And telling everybody in the world lies about where she's at. Lies that we can prove that are lies. You know how many I lost I lost it last night. I knew the days, the days, the reasons, and the number of times you took Evelyn to the doctor. She's a baby, she's 2 years old. You care for her. You never took her to the doctor. You remember any of those? >> She had an ear infection one time. I think I took her for like just allergies one time and then other times and checkups and stuff like that. She's little. She's got to go all the time. >> That adds up. So, you're saying there was quite a few visits, right? Now, when you have a baby, she's your life. >> Well, yeah, they weren't like sick visits. They were just checkups and stuff like that. They were just checkups and stuff like that. >> But the But the point [music] that it is, you did it. We deal with mothers all the time who don't take their kids anywhere. Okay? You did it. You took Evelyn to see the doctor. Okay? Right. And [music] then one year the well visit rolls around and you start making excuses cuz Evelyn is sick. We know you rescheduled it. We know you told them to switch the nutritions. And we know why. But >> That was around the time that Mom was babysitting and I was working literally from 5:00 in the morning till like 7:00 or later at night. And the only reason I got a job was so I could have money to take care of Evelyn. >> Okay. What was What was your mom doing? [music] >> Nowhere. >> There's my point. Your mom's not fit to be a babysitter. You left your mom You left Evelyn with your mom. Now you're telling me you had to reschedule the appointments because you were at work. >> I was at work on that day she went to the doctor. >> The point I believe that part. The point of it is your mom wasn't at work. She was probably doing [music] dope, right? And your child is missing well visits. If and that's a big if in my mind. If Evelyn is still alive she ain't safe. Your mom wouldn't even take her to a well visit. >> At trial, her father took the stand. He testified that he saw her at Christmas in December of 2019 and that Evelyn was not with her. He asked where the child was. He was told she was with someone else. He set a deadline. When it passed, he picked up the phone himself and called the Department of Children Services. That call is what started the search. >> Then it was time for the jury to consider her sentence. Her lawyers asking that she one day be eligible for parole. >> Ladies and gentlemen, um although I may not agree with your verdict, I I respect your verdict. I respect you. And I thank you for your time and I have one more thing to to ask you. You have to make a decision now and that decision is is a it's going to mean the difference if you sentence Megan Boswell to life in prison, she'll be released when she is um probably 69 years old. That'll be eight She's been in jail She You probably realize she has been in jail since she was 18 years old. She went to jail February 25th of 20 of 2020 and she hasn't been released. Um so with that said, if you give her a life sentence, it would be 51 years. That's what I'm asking you to do. If you give her a life without sentence, she will never be released from prison. That that's the difference. So it'll be the difference between her being released at what I believe would be 69 70 years old or never being released. >> The defense called Megan Boswell's mother, Angela, to testify. >> Let's talk about Megan's life growing up. Would it be fair to say that during her lifetime she she's witnessed um drug use between you and her father? >> Yes. >> What type of drugs? >> Um opiates, mainly. >> [snorts] >> Scoot up or speak into that so the jury can hear >> Uh opiates mainly. >> Uh did that drug use lead to other problems? >> Uh yeah. Arguments, fighting, yes. >> Okay. You say there there was >> Stress. >> Stress? >> Is what it brings, yes. Nonstop. >> Is that something that went on pretty much her entire childhood growing up? >> Yeah, from the time she was pretty little, yeah. >> Okay. Yeah. Now Did she witness fights between you and her father? >> Yes. >> Okay. I think at some point her father was convicted of >> [snorts] >> aggravated assault and kidnapping. >> Yes. >> Were you the victim in that? >> Yes. >> These problems Do you feel that it's partly your fault the the problems Megan's experienced? >> No, absolutely. Yes. >> Megan Boswell wiped away tears after her mother testified and then her foster mother Gail Kite testified. >> She was in bad shape. She was one of the worst children that I'd brought in as far as neglect. >> What do you mean by that? >> She was very malnourished. She's very skinny. Her hair was matted to her head with lice. Impossible to even get a comb through. >> Okay. Well Well, when she came to you, were you given any background?
