on November the 23 2022
the day before Thanksgiving
officers with the Columbus Division of
police were dispatched to the location
of a small pond near a homeless camp
in that pond they discovered the body of
Mr Robert K Marsh
was murdered and placed into the pond by
a man named it John Ferry who was later
charged and arrested for his murder
the incident in today's video takes
place a few days later when officers
were on patrol looking for Mr Ferry who
had not yet been apprehended
and ended up running into Mr Marsha's
girlfriend
who is also homeless has one leg
and her only support system was Mr Marsh
before he was murdered
for today's video you'll see the
officers try everything they can to get
this woman help and convince her to get
off the street
but you'll find that sometimes the
hardest thing about helping people
is convincing them that they need help
maybe how's it going
uh are you by yourself huh
shitty I'm sorry
are you by yourself
you have anyone that lives here with you
uh Charles and his mom
but his mom is in the
hospital's camp
helping him move

of you now

so for sure why why aren't you in a
shelter somewhere

what are you gonna do now
you still have contacts and stuff right
like you can still get help if you reach
out yeah you know all you have to do is
say the word and someone will swoop you
up

night in the middle of the night um the
original officer that dealt with them
they've seen it for president

it was like a domestic violence thing

I wasn't here but that's what I was told
um trying to get sex okay
oh yeah okay

Terrier with an onion you know that's
not the person I was thinking about
