00:00It really started in 1988, I saw a small little blurb about a truck driver and a sexual assault
00:19that had happened in Texas. A mother and her daughter were broke down on the side of the
00:26road and a truck driver pulled over and he raped them both, put them back in their car and left
00:33them. They showed a sketch of the truck and it was Blaine's truck. And all the bills went
00:43off for me. I've just carried it with me for so long and it just felt like it was time to
00:49talk to somebody about it. And so I am in no way trying to ever say that I can compare
00:57myself to Blaine's other victims. I can't imagine like what they go through on a daily basis.
01:10I just know what I go through on a daily basis from what he's done to me.
01:24I've always thought of Blaine as the boogeyman. I've tried to explain like horror movies and
01:30that kind of thing do not scare me because I know who the real boogeyman is. I know who
01:36the real monster is. And when there's no storyline and there's no Hollywood, no cameras and things
01:44like that and you know someone like that is out there, I can't sleep. I just can't sleep.
02:06I just can't sleep. I'm sorry. I can't sleep. I can't sleep. I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
02:18this was probably around the time that blaine first came into our lives
02:38i would be about five years old and prior to this it had just been the three of us my mom
02:44and my sister and me blaine was a long-haul trucker that would sometimes be gone for days
02:50but i remember him coming around was like it was exciting it was awesome to have uh any male figure
02:57around as a young boy i didn't even realize that i was missing a father figure i played you know
03:05little league baseball so you see every other boy there with his dad and
03:10dad shows up to watch him play um so the few times that blaine made it to my games it was big like
03:23so anytime that those holes were filled were important
03:29he seemed like uh superman he had his foot on the pedal kind of personality about everything
03:39when my mom first started dating blaine he was pretty decent but that kind of changed after
03:50they got married sometimes you can see the monster that's in front of you and you can tell
03:54you know you just know that he flew under all those radars he flew under every radar possible and he had
04:01everybody fooled
04:02we lived in an apartment complex with other families and young kids my age one night the kids that all
04:28lived in the apartment complex we were all sleeping on the grass everybody just had blankets and pillows
04:33but it was pretty late and uh the silence was broke you could hear like a quiet grumbling um and nobody
04:42really knew what it was and it just kept getting louder
04:46and from one direction it was playing in the green machine
04:54it was a 1977 chevy but it had a corvette engine in it and so it was unbelievably loud it was unbelievably fast and he came flying past all of us by then everybody's awake everybody knows it's him that went by and the sound kept going and
05:16the sound kept going and then it came back and got louder again and blaine came from the other direction flew into the apartment complex
05:23you could hear him slam on the brakes and screech the tires parked the truck and you could hear his cowboy boots click click click click and came running past all of us and they were flashing the street from the town of the car to the car to the street from the town of the car to the car to the car.
05:43You could hear him slam on the brakes and screech the tires, parked the truck, and you could hear his cowboy boots, click, click, click, and came running past all of us, put up his hand, said hi, kids, and just went into the apartment and shut the door.
05:58They never found him, they never, never caught up to him, but it was something that I'll just never forget, like the sound of that engine and, like, seeing it go past it, something that you only see in movies.
06:14It didn't seem like Blaine's running from the police. He must have done something super wrong. To all of us, it seemed great.
06:22It's only looking back now as an adult that I realized how dangerous and irresponsible all of that was.
06:28I don't think he cared about dangerous at all. Blaine liked toying with police. He liked toying with people in general.
06:35He would do things without thought of consequence.
06:40It was just another game.
06:42Yeah, this is a picture of me and my sister.
06:59During this time, like, if I needed something, I'd go to my sister.
07:02If I had a problem,
07:04if I'd go to my sister,
07:06but it's hard that we don't have a relationship.
07:09Her and I have just...
07:15We've never...
07:19We've just never addressed the real reasons.
07:23I don't have anybody else.
07:24And that's something that we just had to deal with, had to deal with a lot of years of silence.
07:30One morning, my sister and I were watching Saturday morning cartoons.
07:39I'm pretty sure we were fighting over the station.
07:41So he decided that our punishment for fighting over the TV would be to punch each other in the arms.
07:50That's enough!
07:51Basically, for my sister and I to punish each other, that way he didn't have to, but he would still get to watch.
08:00Like, he just...
08:01It made it, like, such a competition that you weren't really thinking about the consequences or if you were going to get hurt or if you were going to hurt somebody.
08:09It's not like I could just say, no, I don't want to do this. You know, that was it. That was what you were doing.
08:16The more we started punching each other, the more it kind of became personal for my sister and I. Like, it wasn't about the TV anymore.
08:24As it would go on, I was really taking the worst of it.
08:28The more it started to hurt, the more I started to cry.
08:32And he kind of had rules for it.
08:35Whatever arm you punched with was the same one that you had to take to punch with.
08:40And the longer it went on, the more violent it became.
08:45There was a lot of happiness and pleasure in Blaine's face while we were doing it.
08:51A monster forces children to fight against each other.
08:54A maniac, a hunter, a predator, all of those things.
09:01And then looking back on it, he was like that when he got there.
09:06You know, this wasn't something that came on gradually for him.
09:10All this, whether he knew it or not, all this stuff was already mowing around in his head.
09:15He just had to have an outlet and the outlet was my sister and me.
09:18He was practicing to be a monster.
09:21He was practicing to be a monster.
09:23He was practicing to be a monster.
09:33Hmm.
09:37This would be our race team.
09:41This is chariot racing.
09:43That would be Blaine in the chariot.
09:44And that would be me right in front of the chariot.
09:49You can barely see me.
09:51It was something that my grandfather started in our family.
09:55So every Saturday was race day.
09:57This is what country people do with their farm horses on Saturdays.
10:01It was fun.
10:03It was amazing.
10:05Nobody fights on that day.
10:07I wish every day was race day.
10:16When we would race our horses, Blaine had a helmet that he would wear in the chariot.
10:20And it was green.
10:22But we changed colors from green to yellow.
10:25So we bought 99 cent spray paint, spray painted the helmet.
10:31And it was in our back washroom drying.
10:37And I went back there to get something.
10:40But I had like bumped it.
10:46And it fell off.
10:47So I picked it up and set it right back on there.
10:51Later on when Blaine and my mom got home,
10:55all I heard from the back room from him was like,
10:58what happened to the helmet?
11:01I always felt like I had to walk around eggshells around Blaine
11:05because it always changed.
11:08I never knew what I was going to be in trouble for.
11:10You just never knew what Blaine you were going to get.
11:12So you never knew what punishment you were going to get.
11:15I just, I knew it was all downhill from there.
11:19And decided the punishment was going to be to get hit with this rubber cooking spoon that my mom used.
11:27And I still remember to this day, like he called it taking the position.
11:34I'd have to like bend over and put my hands on my knees and get ready for the spoon.
11:42Blaine enjoyed every minute of it.
11:45The more he saw you struggle or the more that he saw you in pain, the longer it took.
11:52It was the worst physical pain that I had felt up to that point in life.
12:01I can still hear the sound of it.
12:07I can, I can hear it hit me.
12:08I can hear how the sound that it would make as it was coming to hit me.
12:12And he just kept hitting me.
12:13Was miserable.
12:17And just knowing that the next one's coming.
12:30And that no one's going to stop him.
12:31And again, I'm sitting there in the middle of a punishment that I just don't understand.
12:41I don't get it.
12:42My mom was mad about it, but it wasn't, she wasn't mad because like, did you see what you did to him?
12:52Or do you know how bad you hurt him?
12:54She was mad because she thought somebody was going to see it.
12:56So after that, it didn't, it didn't stop anything.
13:01It just made it so he had to be more creative and find ways to punish me without actually hitting me.
13:20As I got a little bit older, my mom and Blaine decided that I needed to do chores.
13:25And started giving me a few responsibilities, which is fine.
13:28But one of my first responsibilities was to sweep out the garage.
13:36And I remember sweeping it and I remember doing a pretty good job.
13:42And I didn't know it, but the whole time I was doing it, he was watching me.
13:49And I swept everything up except for the last little bit that's usually there.
13:55That nobody can get with a broom and a dustpan by themselves.
13:59And I remember taking the broom and just kind of pushing it off to the side.
14:10You all done?
14:12Just about.
14:13So he asked me what I was doing.
14:16And he's like, did you sweep it all up and get it out?
14:18Sure.
14:19And I said, yeah.
14:20Yes, sir.
14:22I was watching you.
14:23I was watching you.
14:24And so because I had lied to him, or I didn't tell him the truth the way he wanted to hear it, I guess, he decided to punish me because of that.
14:33Now come on!
14:34So we had this, like, small crawl space under our house.
14:43It was like walking into a big, like, grave, like a big dirt grave.
14:52The air doesn't move in there.
14:54It just has dead spiders, dead mice.
14:58It just was a gooey, desolate, horrible place.
15:05So that room.
15:07Oh, man.
15:09He didn't even go down in that room.
15:15Like, nobody in the family would go down in there.
15:22I often didn't understand what it was I was being punished for.
15:27And I still didn't understand why.
15:28I just, I didn't get it.
15:33Like, you just can't do that to somebody.
15:39I cannot go into crawl spaces to this day.
15:44Because I know I'm not there.
15:46I know I'm not in that room.
15:49But it's, it, it stops me and it freezes me.
15:52And I feel, I feel trapped.
15:58When I was in that room, there was no escape.
16:02There wasn't like, oh, if I can wait till he walks away and I can sneak out and stuff like that.
16:06No, I, there was no doing that.
16:10But I wasn't even able to talk to my mom about the abuse.
16:12And I wasn't able to open up and say anything like, you know, that had been going on that like,
16:16because I, she was there for the majority of it.
16:18So I don't really know that like, there was anything to tell her.
16:22It just felt lonely because my mom was, uh, she was like mute.
16:27Like, had the way she dealt with it was by, by being silent.
16:33I didn't feel safe anymore.
16:35I really didn't.
16:36I didn't feel safe.
16:38So this is a picture of me in the background.
16:49And right here in the bottom, this would be our bird.
16:52Um, but I think this one slipped past my mom.
16:57I think if she would have known that this was Blaine's leg right here,
17:00and that that was any part of him, she just would have thrown it away.
17:04My mom destroyed anything with Blaine in it.
17:07And those would be his cowboy boots right there.
17:13Those are the boots.
17:14Those are, that's the boots that I would get kicked, kicked with 10, 12, 15 times a day.
17:21Because of my mom intervening over him hitting me with that spoon.
17:25But he didn't like really spank me or physically like beat me for a while.
17:32But it was okay to kick me with the side of his boot.
17:34And if I flinched, he'd do it again.
17:36And if I tried to move, he would do it twice more.
17:40But it was humiliating to have to like stand there and wait to take it.
17:45Because it would happen in front of my mom or my sister.
17:49And, um, so it was just humiliating in front of everybody.
17:56My real father had moved to California.
18:15So every summer my sister and I would go and see him for the first couple months of the summer.
18:20And then come back home, get ready for school.
18:23But there was one particular year I did not go.
18:30It had been like a, probably like a week, week and a half since my mom had talked to my sister.
18:36And so my mom tried to call my dad.
18:39And my dad was saying, well, she's going to live with me now.
18:43And she doesn't want to talk to you.
18:45She doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
18:48I'm going to fight for custody. She's going to live with me.
18:51And so my mom started freaking out and wanted to speak to my sister.
18:56He wasn't having it. My dad wasn't having it.
18:59Put her on the phone.
19:02So Blaine got on the phone.
19:04And Blaine told him that like, I, you have about an hour to make plane reservations.
19:11Or I'm going to be on your front doorstep in 12 hours.
19:13And you won't like it if I get there.
19:15The things I heard him say, it scared me because I knew that he was capable.
19:23It wasn't yelling over the phone.
19:26It was the most convincing, scary, soft tone, evil thing that you can imagine a person saying.
19:35But it was the really, the, the calm and, and scariness of it that made it real.
19:42It was terrifying.
19:43And he hung up like my sister was home like two or three days later.
20:00It was like a, I guess it could be considered a family night.
20:03Uh, we were just sitting and watching TV.
20:05Uh, we were watching PBS during fundraising time.
20:11It kind of started off like we were joking about how nervous the girl looked.
20:15Um, and how she kept fumbling over her lines.
20:18And like, oh my gosh, this is live TV.
20:20She's terrible.
20:22And so Blaine decided to make it more fun for him.
20:27Call it out. Call the number on your screen.
20:29You'll see.
20:31He said, you guys watch this.
20:33And he called the pledge number.
20:35And within a few minutes, he had convinced the people at PBS that he was going to donate a large amount of money.
20:42And that he just wanted to thank the girl that was on TV.
20:47Thank you so much.
20:48And he went from thanking her to telling her that like, I'm going to hunt you down and gut you like a fish.
20:57I could see the fear on that lady's eyes on live television.
21:02I was more terrified when I heard him talking to that lady that way because it was just so attainable for Blaine.
21:09Like it sounds real.
21:12But he scared this woman.
21:16And the absolute terror that was in her face was really funny for him.
21:21To make that switch and to flip over into like demon mode, I guess, it just, it was very easy for him.
21:28She's leaving.
21:29I try to like think of any of his like female victims.
21:43Like I, I just can't even imagine like the whole, that had to have been left in their existence from, from him just being in their world for a few minutes.
21:56And, man, I feel so bad for every, everybody that he hurt.
22:09I, I can't apologize enough, but it doesn't, I know it doesn't really mean a whole lot.
22:15I'm not his advocate, not his lawyer.
22:18I, I don't, I don't know how it feels, but I, I, I'm, I've been hit by that train.
22:24As I got older, Blaine started taking me out on the road with him.
22:38Those times, Blaine was different.
22:41I, I didn't have to worry about getting kicked and to have to take the position or get hit or, you know, I didn't have to worry about him backhanding me or just anything when we were in the truck.
23:02For me, it was amazing. I was seeing the world from a semi truck.
23:07And I get to eat beef jerky and trash food for a couple of days and soda.
23:12And he would treat me, we'd get along. He would treat me like a, more like a friend.
23:17He treated me like almost like an equal.
23:23So one night we had just gotten onto the freeway and we were on the freeway for maybe seven or eight minutes.
23:29A highway patrolman, he started waving for us to pull over.
23:32So as we were getting pulled over, um, Blaine reached back into the camper part of the sleeper and he grabbed a handgun.
23:44And put it underneath my seat and told me to sit on it and told me that unless the cops told me to get out of the truck to stay where I was sitting.
23:57I don't know if he'd stolen the gun or committed a crime with it, but he definitely didn't want them to see it.
24:04You don't question it. You just, you do what you're told.
24:07And so he got out and he talked to them for a few minutes.
24:14And, um, then one of the police officers opened up the driver door and said, your dad's getting arrested and his boss is coming to pick up the truck and take you home.
24:28And so that was it. Like Blaine was under arrest.
24:35Blaine's boss bailed him out immediately.
24:37We were back on the road as planned and Blaine never even said another thing to me about it.
24:42I still don't know what they pulled us over for.
24:44He never told me.
24:45My mom never spoke of it.
24:47So it got swept under the rug as far as like, it was none of my business, but it was, they were looking for him.
25:08He would spend like extended times away from the truck.
25:13Like during the times when I was sleeping, sometimes it just, I would kind of wake up and realize the truck wasn't moving, but it was running.
25:20But Blaine wouldn't be in the truck.
25:22And I knew better than to get out and go wandering around and looking for him.
25:27You know, we weren't just pulling over and taking a break.
25:29But in residential areas, we were kind of like pulled over and stopped for large, weird, just odd amounts of times.
25:38Like when we should be driving and going and getting another load and coming and dropping it off.
25:43We're like in a neighborhood for no reason.
25:47So it was like, not just the amount of time, but like the odd times, like the witching hours, you know, that people are out doing bad stuff.
25:56Those were the times that he was saying that he was working, but there was just, there was gaps.
26:15My mom came and picked me up from school one day, which was very, very odd because I would walk every day.
26:21And when I got into the car, she was crying and like, like sobbing, kind of crying and had been all day.
26:29Her eyes were puffy and stuff. I could tell she was a mess.
26:32And so she's like, I came and picked you up because I need to talk to you.
26:37And so she just like blurted it all out.
26:42She says like, I'm just telling you that like Blaine's not coming home.
26:51And I probably was one of the first people that she was able to talk to about it.
26:55So she kind of just exploded and said that Blaine had cheated on her.
27:00I remember in my head thinking like, well, you know, what are we going to do now?
27:06And so my mom, you know, reassured me that, that she was going to, that I'm here.
27:10And it's just me, you and your sister again.
27:13And, and, and it'd been a long time since I'd heard her say that.
27:16And so there we were like, we were at that.
27:19I didn't feel, I didn't feel relief.
27:23Cause I, like I said, over the, the, the few years leading up to that,
27:27I didn't feel a hundred percent safe with my mom either.
27:34I didn't want him to come back, but he was, he was my dad.
27:38So he was, he was my father figure.
27:40That was, that was, that was what I was dealt with.
27:43It was different for my mom and for my sister.
27:49They experienced their own thing.
27:51You know, my mom lost her husband and to my sister, she lost a stepdad,
27:56but I lost my father figure and my, and my stepdad.
28:00So it was a punch.
28:03It was a big punch.
28:13I went through a, a really crazy stage over the immediate fallout from that.
28:25I, I had a, a, a small little cubby hole that was above my closet.
28:34And I felt safe.
28:48And so I would like hide up in there and I would sleep up in that cubby hole.
28:56So it was just easier to like hide.
29:00And.
29:15All that time he punished me and would isolate me.
29:20And make me be more myself.
29:24And in the end.
29:26That's the only place I got any peace.
29:30That's the only way I would feel.
29:32Okay.
29:34As if I closed everybody off and closed everything out.
29:55I really believed that Blaine was gone for good.
30:01It had been about two years since he left.
30:05And.
30:07One morning I woke up and.
30:12Surprise.
30:13He's back.
30:16He was there with his bathrobe on.
30:18He said like, and this is something that I haven't told you.
30:21He never called me my name.
30:28Piece of never called me my name.
30:32He had a nickname for me.
30:34And I, I just don't want to say it.
30:37I just, I don't want to repeat it.
30:39He said, hi Ryan.
30:41But instead of Ryan, he called me that nickname that he always called me.
30:43So it was, it was almost like going all the way back.
30:47There he was.
30:49It was like the gut punch.
30:51Like a little bit of disgust.
30:52A little bit of like the bewilderment.
30:55Why are you here?
30:57Or my mom just told me Blaine hired a private investigator a long time ago.
31:01And he knew where we were at the whole time.
31:02He seemed like a, like a kid with a big old lollipop in his hand.
31:10He was happy.
31:11You could tell that like he was back with my mom.
31:14Like that little smirky smirk.
31:17He was there to stay.
31:18It didn't seem like he was leaving that day.
31:20Or anytime soon.
31:21I don't get scared when I watch horror movies.
31:32Because those people are, they just, they're not as scary as like my stepdad was.
31:51When Blaine came back into our lives, I was a little bit leery of his intentions.
31:57But he was trying to just be a father and a husband.
32:01But I think that's what makes him the most dangerous.
32:04Because he had all of the masks that were necessary to fool everybody.
32:14Blaine said that he was working two different part-time jobs.
32:16And so he would go away for long stretches of time.
32:23And then one morning he left and he just didn't come back.
32:31A couple days went by.
32:33And then there was just a small clipping that my mom had cut out of the paper.
32:37And she's like, here, I need to show you this.
32:39And she just showed it to me.
32:40She didn't say a word.
32:41It just said, local man has been arrested for rape.
32:49When I read it, I was almost like, okay, like, that's horrible.
32:54Like, local man arrested for rape.
32:56I'm like, what does this, what does this mean?
32:57She's like, it's Blaine.
32:58And it's like, I could feel like, like, the color, like, leave my own face.
33:13And the story was like, Mr. Nelson is, is accused of 17 rapes, but is admitting to over a hundred nationwide.
33:21And you hear something like that and you're like, and it just doesn't, it doesn't register.
33:28It doesn't register like, like, cause I know what damage he did to our family.
33:36Now there's a, there's like a hundred other families out there.
33:44A hundred other women that have to try and explain that to their children or to their husbands or, you know, if they don't have any of that, like, they, there are a hundred other women out there that.
34:03Wow.
34:14So, um, I'm looking at a police report from Ogden police.
34:23In 1983, he went into an apartment with the intention of stealing money or purses.
34:31A girl was asleep with no clothes on.
34:35He took advantage of her in the moment and raped her.
34:39And that is what started him.
34:41Number two was the Apple Grove apartments.
34:46He said the girl had two children and believed this rape occurred in 1984.
34:56One of the worst things that's on here is that the dollar amounts are there from the women that he stole.
35:01When he got into a purse, it's still $2.
35:06He got into a purse, it's still $17.
35:12Number six.
35:14Nelson explained how he entered the house and had intercourse with the victim.
35:25Number seven.
35:27Nelson said that the keys were left in the door and had intercourse with the victim.
35:32Looks like there's at least 25 in this report.
35:44That's all the ones that I see in this report.
35:47Nelson explained that there were more, but at this time he doesn't remember where they are.
35:50Nelson said that he would pick the houses by the looks of their yards.
36:07The cars around it and he would simply go from house to house and checking doors.
36:13He said that you would be surprised the amount of doors that people would leave open.
36:20It also became a game to see if the police could catch him.
36:25Why did you laugh there?
36:28Because I was a witness to Blaine playing games with the cops by driving 100 miles an hour past me and running from the cops.
36:36And you can see no matter what it was, whether he's out playing a board game or whether he's violating a woman's life, it was still a game to him.
36:47And that's just not fair to any of these women. Like, I hate seeing, I hate seeing it like this because you know that behind every one of these black marks is somebody's name.
37:02I, it, it just, it's, it's another, it's just, it's another gut punch. And I, I feel horrible. I can't, I can't even put into words how I feel.
37:17I don't know. It's been a minute since I like even talked to my mom, my sister, like we don't have a relationship like at all.
37:42I just don't want to face it or talk about it.
37:45I wish my mom would have said anything that's something that came from in here that, that wasn't something that she felt like she had to say because that's what parents say.
37:58Like, I'm sorry, you're messed up on this. I'm sorry that this is your life now, but we're going to get through it kind of thing. It just, it didn't happen.
38:08I just want to say to my mom and my sister that if they do end up seeing this, that, um, I know you both have a story too.
38:19And I would like to hear it before it's too late.
38:24After Blaine left, it took a while, but I started to find a little bit of relief.
38:40The monster was gone. I don't know if, if it's going to do any good to tell my story after so long. Um, but there's a lot of people out there that probably never caught their boogeymen.
38:58And so, I don't know, I, it may do nothing to come and talk to you guys in the end, but hopefully it will. Like, um, for some of his, I don't know, for me, for some of his other victims, for my mom and for my sister that still don't want to acknowledge any of this.
39:23It's like still walking on thin ice. There's, there's spots and there's times if you, sometimes if you stop, you might hear a couple of cracks underneath you, but you got to keep moving or you're going to fall.
39:36And there are some days where it swallows me whole. Um, but those are the days that I, um, will try to find some solace with my children or with my grandbaby.
39:54I have such a beautiful wife and family that they don't deserve for me to wallow in it. Um, they deserve for me to be present.
40:07You know, maybe there's, maybe there's a kid out there that's locked in a, a crawl space or something that the next time they get out, they'll call somebody or they'll say something and it won't happen anymore.
40:24I just felt helpless again. Like,
40:42I just wanted to get to her. He grabbed ahold of me and threw me down on the bed and was choking me. I'm thinking to myself, I'm pregnant and he's trying to kill me.
40:57I've seen this look right before he explodes. People call him a monster and keep calling him evil. It's probably cause it's true.
41:06My mother was strangled so severely. Her little necks was snapped in half. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a brother. I hope God does not have mercy on his soul.
41:18He got that gun and he started beating me with it. He was like a monster when they just hatch.
41:26I'm sorry.
41:27I don't know.
