In this week’s podcast: Police in Orange County, California, have solved a 52-year-old cold case murder — the county’s oldest Jane Doe case (1:10). Using genetic genealogy, detectives were able to identify a young woman who had been found dead in a Huntington Beach farm field more than half a century ago. Plus, a Los Angeles County judge dismissed the case against four social workers who were charged in connection with the torture death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez (24:41). Jesse Weber joins us.

What has to be broken inside you to abuse a child the way in which Gabriel was?
There is no justice for this child. I hope these social workers have a hard time living with themselves
They never looked at the child ,they just took Moms word he wasnt home. Mom tortured her son not just her boyfriend. You'd have to see the entire story of Gabriel to see how much he was tortured snd fed him cat litter…Gabriel himself told the teacher dont call the social worker because he'll be in trouble meaning he will be beat again. One time the social worker was in the house and Gabriel was in the cupbord changed up.
I cried throughout Gabriel's story. Mother and boyfriend should be put to death for the torture put on this small frame little guy who kust wanted Mom to love him. Its s heartbreaking story.
Gabriel Fernandez ……………. "The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez" A 6-episode documentry was released 26th Feb 2020.
That's super cool the prisoners saving the prison guard. When or if they are released I am sure they will do ok, they're certainly rehabilitated.
Absolutely sucks that he couldn't be punished while he was still alive
Gabriel was kept in an attic and raped. He was filthy . He peed on himself etc.and didn't have a bed; was taken from school . They sometimes had him sleep in a lawn chair ( folding,,). Sometimes. He was covered in fecal matter. and urine. Didn't have clean clothes . A so called bath for Gabriel was , day to day, after day he was submerged in in a fecal / urine bath water. Beaten. Not given food usually and had to eat fecal matter. This poor baby was tortured daily for years. God bless poor little Gabriel with peace, no pain or mental anguish and BB athe him in love and your bounty. He's in glorious Heaven now. These monsters deserve no mercy. I'm so sorry for these kids.Note case management workers usually falsify claiming they went to places that they didn't go . Some children have gone years lost and not missed like Harmony. There was a horrific case in Ohio where the boy was tortured horrendously Asked in front of his abuser if he's ok. Worker leaves bs by the abuser and c the child's taken out of school too by the parents. . He was chained under the dinning table for days while the family ate , starved. Occasionally chained to a bed. Put outside in freezing weather, rain or snow submerged up to his chin in nasty water all night; with cutting boards duct taped around his body so he can't move or run or when he'd . and when he'd mess on himself , was beaten. Etc. He was moved from house to house to different cities and states. No follow up. Closed cases. Falsesified records. Then there's the case in N.Y. where the cops child was starved beaten berated and forced to stay in freezing weather and froze to do after being forced to sleep in the garage without bedding etc. Without bathes and starving
The boy in Florida who was dunked head first in the toilet submerging his face banging his head onto the porcelain bowled toliet two years old because he messed his pants. Blunt forced trauma and drowning. Chicago screaming crying baby was beaten and beheaded while neighbors called the police . The Loru Vallow kids in Arizona were abused moved around and killed. All these kids with held from school supposedly home schooled. These poor kids
.
they are guilty because they should report truth
child protection is joke how much children suffer
more social workers should be should go to jail, they are there not for children just for money
He was not bad looking as a youngster
When they talk about the police did nothing wrong in Huntington Beach, I think that's an understatement. There are so many unsolved cases where the evidence is thrown away or not properly stored. In this case even though they didn't know what new technology would come, they meticulously stored all the evidence that many years later solved the case
They should be accountable because they falsify reports. Plus it was so obvious this little boy was extremely abused
Mama'mi'ah
As a former employee in social services I can tell you that very often the blame should not be placed on the social workers but on the judges who decide children should be returned home even when the social worker recommends that they not be returned. Family reunification has been the goal at the expense of the welfare of the children too often.
Thanks for the eye candy, Ana! That Jessie is one good looking man, brains and beauty😃
So it's one of those "the system failed the child" smh .. made me feel a Lil Upset when Ana said that…
Bring the regular show back
Problem is genealogy sites take away ones genetic privacy. Because your relatives send in their DNA your profile is now accessible so you no longer have a right to genetic privacy.
child deaths will continue so long as the workers are allowed to do what they please without consequences.
1:39 "both the victim and the killer are both dead now." well, obviously the victim is dead 🙄
Love this show.
Neglect
The problem was the social workers lying and not following protocol
“Are you killing” 😂 “Kidding”
Social Worker should be charged
I know I listened to this case earlier it’s so heartbreaking to think that anyone let alone the parents would torture a child this way. As for the CPS case workers I don’t know their authority in the US but in Australia it’s like talking to a brick wall. I know of druggie parents who also deal, they fight, trash the housing home we can hear it and I was always scared for the children. In total she has has six so far and FINALLY they have all been removed by Child Services. Just about every family in our street has reported these people to police, child services, crimestoppers, housing, every authority we could, but there are immune! It is so very frustrating for people reporting abusive parents but wow trying to get anything done is like slapping our heads on a brick wall. The last three were finally taken away, one was a baby, they left them ALONE in the house while they delivered no doubt their drugs and the oldest (under five yrs) went over the fence to another home, she wanted to play. The parent took the child home to find no adult so she took her back home called police and finally the grandmother called & CPS listened to and they took the last three away. Housing has fixed smashed windows…every window one day, walls, doors and yet they are never removed they somehow seem protected from every authority….they bring down the whole street. The children hopefully will recover from the abuse especially the mums absolute terror she put into them, now, she is pregnant with number seven !!! Her photo was recently on fb because she was caught on CCV stealing! They never stop and when someone goes to their door they either ignore it or pretend everything is fine ….we have sent audio of the screaming and video of the smashing front door with metal bars, they don’t do a thing. One neighbour said he will never believe that CPS ever tried next time a child is killed. It’s just as disgusting here they get away with everything because they know every loophole in the book, and authorities turn a blind eye. When that child grows up if the female ever has a child they are the target for the child being removed for as little as one phone call from someone lying ….our system is so screwed up. Sorry for my long rant Ana xo😘
