in crazy what up guys welcome to my reaction series in society we always have to believe
00:00:10.260
women when they say they're the nurturing gender they always say women are so great with children
00:00:14.060
and blah blah blah and i think i'm one of the first people that really i guess in the conservative
00:00:18.920
space that really you know goes against this narrative because it's just not what i really
00:00:25.420
see in society i don't see women that are that good with their kids i don't really see women
00:00:29.800
that get joy out of raising their kids. I see women that get joy out of using their kids for
00:00:34.200
clout. So in Utah, there was actually a mother who killed her daughter and herself through a legal
00:00:40.560
custody battle. And this is what happens. The mother hates the father so much, they kill the
00:00:46.020
kid and sometimes take themselves down with them. News ran covering a years long custody battle in
00:00:53.060
Utah between McGeehan and her ex-husband that lasted years. Krista Drummond joins us live
00:00:58.480
tonight and you had a chance to pour through the documents today, Kristen.
00:01:02.220
I certainly did, Dana. Addie's parents filed for divorce back in 2015 and then over the years
00:01:07.800
they have had a number of disputes from child support to even custody and then even at one
00:01:13.660
point, McGeehan's ability to parent was even questioned. I took these documents and went to
00:01:19.620
a local family law attorney here in town to get his perspective on this case and he tells me there
00:01:26.300
are some concerns. Just this case was all across the board. A case with court records showing a
00:01:31.420
nearly decade-long custody battle in Utah. Louis Schneider taking a look at the document. This
00:01:36.860
can take years off a man's life. He should have just let her have the kid. I'll see you when
00:01:41.140
you're 18. I'll pay you child support. If you want me to deal with the kid, let me know. Las Vegas
00:01:47.320
based attorney did not represent either party, but says the paperwork reveals concerns. The lawyers
00:01:53.440
just kept changing and that's never a good sign, as did the judge and the
00:01:57.240
commissioner, a judicial officer who works under the district court judge to
00:02:01.120
handle certain types of hearings. Too many cooks in the kitchen, I guess, if
00:02:04.600
you're part of the expression. So, and that's troublesome to me because you end
00:02:10.340
up in front of a commissioner or a judge that you don't know who they are, they
00:02:13.580
don't really know your case. A case. Oh, I've heard that twist and turns. Tanya
00:02:18.020
McGeehan temporarily lost custody of Addie Smith in 2020. The court, you know,
00:02:22.660
bad of a mother you have to be to lose custody she acted in a way to alienate addy from her father
00:02:28.580
documents obtained by news that she did show she committed domestic abuse and also what these
00:02:34.020
mothers do is they say oh i'm just i'm just being honest about what happened it's like okay are we
00:02:38.340
going to be honest about you being a whore no that's just being honest the presence of the
00:02:43.460
minor child the court stating addy's father demonstrated a better understanding of her
00:02:48.580
physical and emotional needs. A year later, a temporary restraining order against daddy's
00:02:54.380
father to not interfere with McGeehan's court-ordered parent time. By 2024, an agreement
00:03:00.660
between both parties. The court awarding joint legal and physical custody with one week on
00:03:06.700
and one week off. For an exchange not done at school, both parents needed to meet at
00:03:11.960
a police department and park five parking stalls away from one another. It's a red flag.
00:03:16.720
chris you're right about that that's a red flag if you have to mandate five sparking parking spaces
00:03:22.240
things are really having to be controlled here yeah because usually the mother is crashing out
00:03:27.920
for no reason on saturday in a rio hotel room remains unknown but metro police did find it so
00:03:34.560
sad note the contents of it not shared publicly yet but it may provide a better understanding
00:03:40.400
to the why in this case whatever happened in that hotel i don't know but this case would not have
00:03:46.320
been handled like this in Nevada. Now it remains. I mean, you can't stop a crazy one. There were
00:03:51.340
any tweaks to that custody agreement back in 2024 when Addy was brought here to Nevada over the
00:03:58.900
weekend. But I have been told through sources. It was her father who called police or called 911
00:04:05.600
asking for that initial welfare check. Dana, yeah, I figured it was probably a family member. And of
00:04:11.620
course, we don't know definitively, but I do have a question about these welfare checks. Metro police
00:04:16.040
get the call. They go to the hotel room at 1045 on Sunday morning, knock on the door several
00:04:20.940
times, were there for minutes. When no one answered, they took off and didn't return until
00:04:26.680
it was security that found the mother and daughter dead inside that room. So do we know
00:04:32.320
what the policy is on how Metro conducts these welfare checks? So Dana, there isn't a policy
00:04:38.720
that you can readily see or readily see online. So I did reach out to the department to get
00:04:43.620
more clarity on that just to know what is their standard procedure but no response at this time
00:04:49.300
you have to remember the rio is private property and police did go there with security but metro
00:04:56.120
police cannot tell security to open that door because now they're starting to go into violating
00:05:02.440
fourth amendment rights that is against unreasonable holy shit okay so the utah mother
00:05:08.440
police say killed her 11 year old daughter before taking her own life was engaged in a lengthy
00:05:13.360
custody battle according to court doc according to court documents the clark county coroner's
00:05:18.260
office said that to tanya mcgehan 34 of west jordan died by official rulings for the case
00:05:27.280
and manner of the death for the 11 year old adeline smith are still pending as of tuesday
00:05:31.120
can you imagine being the father in this case and just like all you want is to see your kid and now
00:05:36.020
you found out that they're both dead what a bitch utah county court records in sight mc
00:05:41.260
g hand negotiated a divorce decree in 2017 after petitioning a split from her husband two years
00:05:47.240
earlier adalyn was her only child during the marriage and mcgreens received slightly more
00:05:52.520
parental time with their shared custody agreement lewis john nider a las vegas attorney specializing
00:05:58.680
in criminal and family law was not involved in the divorce but he reviewed the course okay the
00:06:02.720
court filings now they're just kind of summarizing what they said before damn we're following two
00:06:09.780
cases, missing persons investigations, Nancy Guthrie missing for more than two
00:06:14.360
weeks, also a mother and daughter visiting for a cheer competition in Las
00:06:18.320
Vegas. And sadly, that investigation turns to heartache. The mother and
00:06:23.120
daughter came here for in down for a dance competition or a cheer
00:06:27.840
competition of sometime last night. The mother shot her daughter and then shot
00:06:32.960
herself. This is a sad and tragic incident. That's your police. They're
00:06:37.560
describing what they believe to be a nurturing genocide. So you just heard it there. Police
00:06:42.120
believe that the mother shot her own daughter, our Will Silverstein, joins us live outside the
00:06:47.020
Rio Hotel. This is where all this took place. Give us a timeline of what happened over the weekend.
00:06:52.460
Well, Dana, that's exactly right. Rio Hotel over the back left shoulder. You think about these
00:06:56.480
competitions amongst youth athletes. It's supposed to be a fun time, especially on a
00:07:00.800
President's Day weekend, a holiday weekend where you get that extra day. Poor people at the
00:07:05.280
tournament. They're like waiting for it to come and compete. And now the question was what
00:07:10.760
happened over the course of those few days? Law enforcement saying they checked in, then they
00:07:15.300
checked in once more. What happened in that time in between Metro talking to us? Former law
00:07:20.380
enforcement talking to us right now. It is the mother and daughter, correct? Las Vegas Metro
00:07:24.940
sharing the devastating details from inside the Rio Hotel and Casino Sunday evening. Metro telling
00:07:30.380
News 3 in a press release, quote, detectives were able to determine the mother, she's got crazy,
00:07:34.880
shot her daughter, careful, sticking your dick and crazy, for shooting herself. The mother is in
00:07:40.240
her mid-thirties and the daughter is a preteen. That daughter is Addie Smith, a member of Utah
00:07:45.860
who was in town from neighboring Utah for a competition. The mothers believe to be Tony
00:07:50.860
McGeehan. At nearly 11 a.m. Sunday morning, police got a request for a welfare check at the
00:08:24.880
may have not been significant enough to warrant a forced entry if there's something said in the
00:08:29.840
call just to the effect of you know they were supposed to call us this morning and we haven't
00:08:34.400
heard from them or it's a family member who just hasn't had contact that's one thing they're just
00:08:40.560
going to go to the room and knock and because of why they were in town they may have assumed you
00:08:46.720
know she's at her dance competition they've just been busy or something like that certainly if it's
00:08:51.760
a call that indicates that someone's been harmed that's a whole different matter that's doors come
00:08:57.760
down um in this case they would have had security open the door of course but they would have clearly
00:09:03.920
gone in the room and so you know when this press conference happened over the weekend you had
00:09:08.800
a question being asked to metro there about yeah okay well that's really sad a lot of these
00:09:15.440
custody battles can turn you know bloody so it's really you know because it's either the woman does
00:09:21.200
kills the daughter despite the dad or the dad uh you know he's being robbed essentially and
00:09:26.960
everything's taken from him and he just crashes out instead of just killing himself he takes
00:09:31.440
everyone down with him so anyways all right guys let me know what you think in the comments if you
