Can you do me a favor and step out front to make contact with the deputies? >> Yes. >> When a deputy arrives at the scene, he rushes to the back of the home and discovers an unresponsive elderly man lying next to a wheelchair in a pool of blood with a severe laceration to his arm. >> Uh, so he hit his head. >> [panting and sighs] >> He's still warm. >> Yeah. >> The temperature of the body tells deputies they're dealing with a very recent attack. Believing there may still be a chance to save him, they begin CPR. >> Press. Press. Press. Press. >> Okay. >> Break his ribs or anything like that? >> No, he's still warm. >> Despite their efforts, he cannot be revived. >> Stop compressions. >> I'm going to blow it around and there's blood everywhere, but it's still wet, at least. >> There's a The whole wheelchair is covered in blood. >> So is that one over there?

Um, I'll I'm going to go talk to her now. >> The deputy spoke to Paul's caregiver, 48-year-old Shannon Rose Giblin. She denied neglecting his care and said there was another reason Paul wanted her out of the house. >> I'm going to tell you the truth, sir. >> Okay. >> He And the girl that got me this job knows this dude. You can talk to her about it. He is mad at me because I didn't give him sexual pleasure. >> Mhm. >> Do you see Have you ever had >> Yeah, I've heard of this kind of thing. >> She told the deputy Paul had repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances, including one incident where he allegedly put his hands on her. >> When we go run errands, of course I drive. Um, and I help him out of his buggy into the truck. And I strap on a seatbelt for him. You know, just to be sweet. And so I'm leaning over to strap him in he felt. And he grabs back of my head, he puts his hand on the back of my head, and he moves my head towards his crotch, and he goes, "Uh." Gross. >> Mhm. >> With Shannon's serious allegations, the deputy was now facing a much more complicated situation. >> I want to go back in and talk to him again about that. Um >> He's going to deny it. >> Probably. Uh, but the problem here, Shannon, is that he wants you gone. And so if he tells me that he wants you gone, then that is my job to do that. >> So, you want [clears throat] me to leave to leave right now? >> So, that's what I'm going to try to figure out with him. >> But that's impossible.

Put your hands on a man. >> Say exactly. >> I know that. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Hours later, Paul's body is found in the very spot where Shannon had spoken with the deputy. As the investigation continues, a review of security footage from a neighboring residence reveals Paul's 2024 Toyota Tacoma leaving the property around 4:30 p.m. >> Can you do a felony bolo for the this guy's truck? I need to know where it is as soon as possible, and I need it stopped. >> 3 hours after Paul's body is discovered, the vehicle is located at a McDonald's in Sarasota County, 53 miles north of the crime scene, and Shannon is inside. >> Step out of the vehicle with your hands up.

You got hands? >> Got hands. Get down on your knees. >> Get on your knees. Keep your hands on your head. >> Hands on your head. >> Is there anyone else in the vehicle? >> My cats. >> After Sarasota County deputies detain Shannon, she begins making disturbing claims about what happened to her. >> Why are you guys being so mean to me when I was just abused? >> Okay, hold on. >> And almost murdered by a guy. >> I don't know anything about anything. I'm going to I'm going to stand you up. Okay, let's stand up. >> I was almost just Look at my body. >> Shannon is transported to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, where she says she was constantly harassed and abused by Paul. But detectives will soon get a surprising phone call that raises questions about her story. >> Paul is a very evil man. I believe it was the second night I was there. I was saying goodnight to him. And he reaches back and he he he starts doing this on my upper leg and he starts reaching over towards my crotch. And I was like, all right, well, goodnight. I mean, I had just gotten there. >> Shannon describes another incident she says crossed the line, leaving her feeling devastated. >> He told me that he loves to spoon. He's like, if if we're ever spooning and you you feel the little guy down there misbehave, you can just skedaddle. So I went to my room. Sat on the bed. And just believe and just start crying. He literally wants me there for sex. >> She goes on to describe a history of childhood trauma, suggesting Paul's alleged behavior triggered painful memories from her past. >> Nobody understands that there's sick men out there. Okay, I was freaking by my own father. I was when I was 14 by a He took my virginity. Okay? I've been almost murdered by a guy choking in front of my 3-year-old daughter. Okay? >> Detectives shift their focus to what happened after the deputy told her to leave Paul's home. >> Obviously, it looks like you were put in a very tough spot. I mean, I see you're you're scratched up and have some injuries. >> Did he get violent after law enforcement left? >> Yes. >> Also, >> he grabbed me. And I've got I've got the things. >> But after learning about the arrest, Shannon's sister contacts investigators and reveals a pattern from Shannon's past. One that raises questions about whether she's telling the truth. >> I just wanted to say that um some someone noticed in her mugshot that there were scratches on her. And I wanted to tell the detectives that she has a history of of and trying to blame other people. One of her um baby daddies, for lack of a better term, she bragged about getting him locked up in Sarasota for like 8 months because she beat herself up and then called the cops and said he did it. I was thinking to myself, "Oh my god, she's going to sit there and try to say it was self-defense and he did that to her." >> What happened next with Paul? >> I looked at him and said, "Paul, after all I've done for you, in your house, with you, giving you baths, so you're just willing to have the sheriff just push me to the curb?" I said, "What would you have done to my cats?" And he goes, "Well." And it was obvious he would have killed them. Just the way he said it. >> All right, so then what happened? >> He he's in his scooter and he starts going and and I start following him. And he stops in his scooter and he grabs his phone. And I'm like, "What are you doing?" Cuz he was going to call the cops again. And I went to grab it. He's like, "What are you doing?" And he starts grabbing me. I guess I snapped. I snapped. >> Okay. >> No, I didn't. >> All right. >> It just hit me. I snapped. >> How did you snap? >> I just did. >> What? >> Abuse. >> Yeah. >> Too much of it. >> I get it. >> I was in a mental hospital cuz I snapped years ago. It's all documented. All of it. >> According to Shannon, when the confrontation turned physical, she used a kitchen knife to cut him. >> Was it a little cut or a big cut when you cut him? >> No, he was bleeding a lot. >> Okay. Okay. A lot like >> It was It was a lot. >> Her sister claims this wasn't the first time Shannon had used a knife during a confrontation. >> I spoke to the boyfriend that just escaped from her. Like he could have been the next victim, but his daughters were like, "You need to get the hell out of there." Because he would wake up in the middle of the night and she would be standing over him with a butcher knife and saying she was going to kill him. He literally high-tailed it across the state of Florida to get away from her cuz his daughter lives on the other coast. He told me she I was afraid she was going to slit my throat in my sleep. >> Shannon insists the confrontation with Paul escalated into something she never expected. >> I'm scared for my life and I'm scared for my cat's life. This man abuses me. It's not like I'm like, "Oh, I'm going to go hurt this precious man today." No one's claiming that. >> But Shannon's ex-boyfriend describes a conversation he had with Shannon about Paul that paints a very different picture. >> He was on the phone with her on Sunday before this happened. She was telling him that she was going to kill the guy before she killed him. And I'm just saying cuz I think it's relevant because if she's like saying, "I'm going to go in there and kill him." and then she does it, that's not It's now that it's premeditated in my book. >> Shannon says that after cutting Paul, she pushed him in a scooter to the back of the house where she placed him on the ground and watched him die. But before fleeing in his truck, she covered his body with a plastic tarp. When asked why, she offers an unexpected explanation. >> What was up with the plastic? Everything else makes sense to me. I don't understand that part. When you take care of somebody tucking them in, does that make sense at all? I don't know. Can I ask you a question? It's kind of personal. How do you feel now that that happened? I was not innocent. That's how I feel. He abused me. That's how I feel. Because a part of me was like it was either me and my kitties or or him. I'm serious. Now you both look at me like you hate me. We don't hate you. I promise we don't hate you. I'm not cold-hearted. >> She's threatened so many people in her life. She is diabolical. You have no freaking clue. >> According to court documents, in March 2026, Shannon was charged with second-degree murder and grand theft of a motor vehicle. She pled not guilty to the charges. Shannon's public defender filed a motion requesting a competency examination, and a hearing is scheduled for August 6, 2026, to determine whether she is fit to stand trial.
