00:00In the early hours of September the 21st, 2016, in Dearborn, Michigan, a rage-filled father unleashed a nightmare on his unsuspecting family.
00:13He made his wife watch while he shot and killed her two teenage children. I can't imagine anything more cruel.
00:23I'm yelling to him, like, no, you know, no, my baby. I was begging him not to shoot her because once he shot her in the back, you know, she was bleeding from her mouth and I knew she wasn't going to make it.
00:38The killer was 49-year-old Gregory Green and his reign of terror was far from over.
00:45He carried the two other girls out to the garage, placed them in the car, tucked them in, shut the door, and turned the car on.
00:55And they ultimately succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning.
01:00It was probably the most horrific crime that I've ever seen or dealt with during my career.
01:06But astonishingly, this wasn't the first time Gregory Green had killed his family.
01:11Back in 1991, he killed his first wife, and not only her, but also the unborn child, his child, that she was carrying.
01:21The man who killed his family twice would forever come to be known as one of the world's most evil killers.
01:41In 2017, 50-year-old Gregory Green was ordered to spend the rest of his natural life in prison
02:00for the murders of his two stepchildren, 19-year-old Chadney and 17-year-old Kara,
02:07and his two biological daughters, 5-year-old Koi and Kayleigh, who was just four.
02:15His final act of power over Faith Green, Gregory Green, allowed her to live
02:22and forced her to witness the murder of her children.
02:28And that gave him the power in his mind to manipulate her
02:32and make her live with these horrific memories for the rest of her life.
02:39I don't understand the mentality, but it seemed like torture to me.
02:43There was no trial.
02:47For the second time in his life, Gregory Green pled guilty to the murder of his family.
02:57This case is a perfect example that shows how incredibly dangerous
03:02coercively controlling people can become.
03:05Those children were totally dispensable,
03:09irrespective of whether they were stepchildren or biological children.
03:13I have got to make this woman pay.
03:16You lot can pay with your lives so that I can restore my ego.
03:21How evil is that?
03:28This killer story begins in Michigan on October 12th, 1966.
03:35Gregory Green was born in Dearborn, on the outskirts of Detroit.
03:44In fact, he spent his entire life in Dearborn.
03:49We don't know a great deal about Green's upbringing,
03:52but we do know that it was a loving household,
03:54brought up with his mother and father and siblings,
03:57and I think he described it later in life as a comfortable upbringing.
04:00Green's second wife, Faith, remembers him talking about his childhood.
04:07He said that, like, in high school, he always had nice things.
04:10There were times, like, if he didn't want to go to school, he didn't have to.
04:14By his early 20s, Green had married his first wife, Tonya,
04:18and joined a church community on the outskirts of Detroit,
04:22led by Faith's father, Pastor Fred Harris.
04:25As a little girl, I loved going to church.
04:32My dad became a pastor when I was about 11.
04:36It was at church where Faith first met the man
04:39who would turn out to be her future husband.
04:43I was 14 years old.
04:45At that time, he was probably about 24, 25.
04:48He had no clue that I had a crush on him.
04:51I thought that he was cute, things like that.
04:54I used to just say hi to him, sometimes after church, sit next to him.
05:01He was there for a while, then he wasn't there anymore.
05:05In 1991, unbeknownst to 14-year-old Faith,
05:10Gregory Green had been sent to prison for killing his wife, Tonya.
05:14On the 14th of July, Green attacked Tonya.
05:20And at that point, she was six months pregnant with Green's child.
05:26He attacked her brutally, ferociously,
05:28stabbing her in the face, chest, neck, back,
05:31killing not only Tonya, but also the unborn child.
05:38Certainly one of the factors that triggered Green's behaviour
05:41was the fact that she was planning to divorce him.
05:44I don't think Green wanted anybody else to have Tonya.
05:48If he couldn't have her, no-one else was going to have her.
05:52Gregory Green calmly dialed 911 to report what he'd done
05:57and waited for the police to arrive and arrest him.
06:01It's really interesting when looking at the emotional state
06:07of people who kill somebody close to them,
06:11like a wife or a child.
06:13The first emotion they feel afterwards is relief.
06:17Not remorse, not shame, not guilt, not terror.
06:21Relief.
06:22So they can, in that moment, behave quite rationally,
06:29but overlay that with the fact
06:32that they have felt completely justified
06:35in killing their wife for trying to leave them.
06:40Gregory Green pled no contest
06:43to the crime of second-degree murder.
06:45He was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years
06:47and a maximum of 25 years
06:49in the Michigan Department of Corrections.
06:53While Green was serving his sentence
06:55for the murder of Tonya,
06:57the woman who was to become his second wife
07:00was going about an ordinary life.
07:02In fact, she got married and she had two children.
07:06I met Karen Chaney's dad in the 10th grade
07:09and immediately I just fell for him.
07:13And then once I graduated from high school,
07:17that's when we really started dating
07:18and then I got pregnant with my son when I was 19.
07:23He was, I shouldn't say like my little buddy,
07:25but he was like me.
07:26He was a night owl.
07:27Even when I carried him, he was up at night.
07:29That's just how I was.
07:30So he was just a quiet child
07:33and we did a lot together.
07:36He was very smart and artistic
07:37till he started drawing when he was really little.
07:41Another child followed quickly.
07:43When her son, Chadney, was almost two years old,
07:47Faith gave birth to a daughter, Cara.
07:51Cara was always the type of child
07:54where whatever the brother did,
07:56she wanted to be able to do it too.
07:58When he was learning to tie his shoes,
08:00she was like, I can do it too.
08:02She always wanted to boss him.
08:04So I always had to tell her, like,
08:05Cara, you know, stop bossing your brother around.
08:08He just wanted to play his games and things like that.
08:11But as they got older, the relationship got better.
08:22Meanwhile, Gregory Green had been serving time in prison
08:25for the murder of his first wife.
08:28Most of his adult life had been spent behind bars.
08:31But in 2005, a push to give him a second chance
08:36gained momentum.
08:37Green, as was typical of him,
08:41maintained an absolutely calm presence in prison.
08:46But he was refused parole four times
08:48because he showed no empathy and no remorse whatever
08:53for killing Tonya and his unborn child.
08:56After that first murder,
08:58Gregory Green was a walking threat
09:01to any woman that he was going to get into a relationship with,
09:06especially if that woman challenges him
09:09or attempts to leave him.
09:13Green had been in prison for a considerable period of time
09:16when Pastor Fred Harris,
09:18who was a well-known figure in Detroit,
09:20began a campaign to get him released.
09:24Harris told the parole board
09:25that Green would be supported
09:27by the local community
09:29and welcomed back into the church.
09:31What he didn't do,
09:33and that's so significant later,
09:34he didn't warn his daughter Faith
09:36exactly what Green had done
09:38and why he'd been in prison.
09:41In 2008, after 16 years behind bars,
09:46Gregory Green was granted parole
09:48at the age of 41.
09:50He had a chance to start over,
09:53but his insatiable lust for murder
09:55could not be controlled
09:57and eventually he would kill again.
10:11In 2008,
10:13Gregory Green had just been released from prison
10:16after spending 16 years behind bars
10:19for the murder of his first wife
10:21and their unborn child.
10:23When Faith, who was single again,
10:26ran into him at church,
10:28old feelings resurfaced.
10:33At first, he didn't even know who I was
10:35until I told him.
10:36Then he was like,
10:37oh, okay, you know,
10:39he didn't even have a clue
10:40that I had, like, this crush on him.
10:42And a few times, like, after church,
10:44I would talk to him
10:45and then eventually we exchanged numbers.
10:48One day we went out to dinner,
10:50just talked.
10:51The kids seemed like they liked them
10:53and we just eventually started dating.
10:58Tragically,
10:59Faith wasn't aware of Green's crime
11:02when he was released.
11:04Her father didn't tell her
11:05and I'm absolutely sure in my own mind
11:07that Green didn't tell her either.
11:09As far as she was concerned,
11:11with the help of her father,
11:12Green was being rehabilitated.
11:14I probably should have asked more questions.
11:18I did know that he had went to prison.
11:22We were told there was some type of altercation,
11:25but it was self-defense.
11:27Any allegations made against him,
11:29he's going to deny.
11:30He's going to minimize.
11:32He's going to make it look like he was the victim.
11:35This is something that is so common.
11:36They call it DARVO.
11:37Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.
11:41Now that is straight from
11:42the coercive control playbook.
11:46He moved in with me for a little bit,
11:49but I was just feeling like something wasn't right.
11:52I don't know if it was just too soon.
11:54I ended up breaking it off with him for a while.
11:57I didn't talk to him for a little bit
11:59and then we started talking back
12:00and then that's how I got pregnant with Coy.
12:02Like, we weren't even in a relationship
12:04or anything like that.
12:07A couple months after I had Coy,
12:09that's when we ended up getting married.
12:14In 2011, Green and his new wife
12:18moved into their first house together.
12:21The city of Dearborn Heights
12:22is pretty much a bedroom community.
12:25Borders the city of Detroit
12:26on the east side of the city.
12:28Nice place to live.
12:29Pretty safe.
12:31It's a good community,
12:31very eclectic, very diverse.
12:34It didn't take long for Faith to realize
12:38that Green perhaps wasn't quite as angelic
12:41as she might have thought.
12:43And quite quickly, she became unsettled.
12:49I didn't really know what was going on
12:51with him on the inside.
12:53He just would shut down.
12:55That's when I started to see the attitude
12:57and things like that.
13:00Coercive control is a pattern of behavior
13:04designed to trap someone in a relationship.
13:08And that will be the motivation
13:10of the controlling person.
13:12So they will do all sorts of things
13:15within that relationship,
13:16what we call tactics,
13:17to make sure that person stays where they are,
13:21stays compliant,
13:22never leaves.
13:24Everything was just coy, coy, coy.
13:28He would tell me things like,
13:29if I leave the house,
13:31I got to take her with me.
13:32He didn't really want to give me a break.
13:35There was only one time
13:37during that first year
13:39where I was able to go out
13:41with one of my friends
13:42and then he was calling me.
13:44I'm like, it only had been literally
13:45probably like an hour,
13:46hour and a half
13:47and I was getting ready
13:49to be back on my way home.
13:52Green was incredibly controlling of Faith.
13:55He tried to isolate her
13:57from forms of support and influence.
13:58He would have used psychological tactics
14:03where he would demean her
14:06and question her
14:07so that she was constantly
14:09trying to meet his expectations
14:12and his rules.
14:13He will be presenting that as very normal.
14:15That's the way of things.
14:17You've got your role.
14:19I've got mine.
14:20You get on with yours
14:21and as long as you do it properly,
14:23I'll leave you alone.
14:25Like many women in that situation,
14:29Faith stayed with Green
14:30for the sake of her daughter.
14:33Coy was funny.
14:34She thought she knew it all.
14:36She loved wearing dresses.
14:37Loved wearing dresses.
14:38That was her thing.
14:40Almost two years after Coy was born,
14:43Green and Faith had a second daughter, Kayleigh.
14:48Somehow Green didn't take to the second daughter
14:51as much as he'd taken to the first.
14:55When she came,
14:57he didn't want anything to do with her.
14:59I don't know if it was
15:00because you didn't want another child.
15:02I couldn't even take that
15:03if that's what it was, you know?
15:05I mean, I don't have to like it,
15:07but make it make sense.
15:09It got to the point where
15:12it was really tense in a house.
15:17The home was a well-kept home,
15:20nice area by all accounts,
15:22you know, just a good family
15:23living in a quiet suburb,
15:25raising their kids.
15:26So, it kind of goes to the heart
15:28of what we deal with in policing every day.
15:32You never know what's going on behind closed doors.
15:36Despite Green's apparent indifference
15:38to his second daughter,
15:40Kayleigh was adored by Faith.
15:43Kayleigh, um...
15:44Kayleigh was...
15:46She was a little rambunctious.
15:47She was glued to my head.
15:49She was observant.
15:51She sat back and watched.
15:53When her dad was mean to her,
15:54I used to say,
15:55let's pray.
15:57And then she would tell me,
15:58Mommy, let's pray.
16:00There was a couple times
16:01he flinched at her
16:02and she would stand up to him.
16:03No, baby, you should have to do that,
16:05you know?
16:09One night,
16:11I was sitting down on the couch
16:12and he's yelling, hollering,
16:14just saying demeaning things to me,
16:15calling me names,
16:17but he's holding coy.
16:19So I'm like,
16:20can you please just put her down?
16:24So finally,
16:25I got him to put her down.
16:28And he starts yelling,
16:29he starts kicking the couch.
16:32Kayleigh's on this end.
16:33I'm like,
16:34please stop kicking the couch.
16:37That was my point there.
16:39I was just like,
16:40I have to leave.
16:42Faith attempted to get
16:43a personal protection order
16:45against her husband.
16:46I tried to go to the
16:48Dearborn Heights Police Department
16:50to file a PPO.
16:52I filled out the paperwork.
16:54They came back less than five minutes
16:56and told me it's not enough information.
17:00People don't go and get
17:01protective orders for nothing.
17:03They don't apply for them for nothing.
17:06But for some reason,
17:07probably a lack of evidence,
17:09I would have thought,
17:09that protective order was not granted.
17:11Domestic violence is one of those crimes
17:15that are unpoliceable.
17:16And that's one of the things
17:17that the police hate.
17:20We want to protect the public.
17:21We want to do what's out there.
17:22But the law,
17:23everybody thinks it's black and white.
17:25It's really not.
17:25I decided to go back to work
17:28and I said,
17:29I'm just going to make a plan
17:31and leave on the last day of school.
17:32And that's what I did.
17:35After Faith left her husband,
17:37they lived apart
17:38for a couple of years.
17:41I did file for divorce.
17:44And we were at one of our,
17:48I guess, divorce proceedings.
17:50And then I felt like
17:53we needed to talk.
17:54I didn't think like
17:55we were going to talk
17:56to get back together,
17:57but that's what ended up happening.
18:00So I said,
18:00well, this time we really need
18:02to talk about things in detail.
18:04And I felt like
18:05that's what we were really doing.
18:07I felt like he was making an effort.
18:10This is a controlling
18:11and manipulative person.
18:13So they will use any tactic
18:16they think of
18:16that is going to work
18:17for them to get what they want.
18:21Faith would probably
18:22have believed him
18:24that he was genuine,
18:26that he was going to change.
18:27They never do.
18:29In 2014,
18:31Green and Faith reunited
18:33and eventually she moved back
18:35into the family home
18:36with her four children.
18:38It would prove to be
18:39a fatal mistake.
18:42It was okay
18:43for a few months.
18:45We wanted the girls
18:46and everybody
18:46to have a good Christmas.
18:47So we got this
18:48huge Christmas tree
18:49that went up to the ceiling,
18:51bring all the toys
18:52and everything in the house.
18:53We were talking about
18:54renewing our vows,
18:56but things were just
18:58slowly dwindling.
19:00I was just like,
19:01oh, this is not going to work.
19:04Green would never
19:05have been able
19:06to sustain this character
19:09that he was playing.
19:11Once he got what he wanted,
19:13gone, forget it.
19:14This is not who he is.
19:15Who he is
19:17is a manipulative,
19:18abusive controller.
19:20As time went on,
19:22he was getting worse.
19:24So this time,
19:25I'm dead set.
19:26I'm like,
19:26I can't change my mind.
19:28I can't continue
19:29to put my children
19:30through this.
19:32In August 2016,
19:35Faith filed for divorce
19:36for a second time.
19:40Statistically,
19:41the period of separation
19:42or the threat of separation
19:44in a relationship
19:45where there's
19:46intimate partner violence
19:47is the most dangerous time
19:49for a victim.
19:51And the reason for that
19:52is because
19:53it's not about violence.
19:54It's about power and control.
19:56So when the abuser
19:58in the relationship
19:59feels that they're losing
20:01that power and control,
20:03their behavior ramps up
20:06and can become
20:08much, much more violent.
20:11Next time I know,
20:11he's mad.
20:12He was just really upset,
20:14cursing,
20:14just real belligerent.
20:16And then eventually,
20:17he left and went to work.
20:19And I thought I was
20:19going to be all right
20:20because the most
20:22Greg ever did
20:23was just yell,
20:24holler,
20:24maybe be in my face.
20:27I just continued
20:27to go on about my day
20:29as usual.
20:32It was at that point,
20:35Gregory Green felt
20:36he ultimately lost control
20:37of the situation.
20:39And she was going
20:39to take his home.
20:40she was going
20:41to take his children
20:42and he was not going
20:45to permit that to happen.
20:48It would be less
20:49than a month
20:50after he was served
20:51his divorce papers
20:52that Gregory Green
20:54finally snapped.
20:56What followed
20:56was a night
20:57of absolute horror
20:58that would change
21:00Faith's life
21:01forever.
21:02By September 2016,
21:15Faith Green
21:15had served her husband
21:17with divorce papers
21:18for the second time.
21:20Gregory Green knew
21:22his marriage
21:23was over.
21:24on the 20th of September
21:262016,
21:28Green unleashed
21:29a nightmare
21:29on his unsuspecting family.
21:33It started off
21:34as a normal day.
21:36It spiraled
21:37into Faith Green
21:39and Gregory Green
21:40having an argument
21:41over text messages
21:43about the state
21:45of their marriage
21:46and the fact
21:47that she had filed
21:48for divorce.
21:51By the time
21:52Faith Green
21:53returned to the house
21:54that day,
21:56Gregory Green
21:57had become
21:58consumed by anger.
21:59I go to sleep
22:03and I remember him
22:04coming into
22:04the girls' room
22:05because I was
22:05sleeping in their room
22:06and he was like
22:08coming to the living room.
22:09It seemed serious
22:10so I got up,
22:12I go into the living room
22:13and I see my son in there
22:14and I'm thinking
22:15in my head like,
22:16he woke my son up
22:17so I can tell
22:17he was asleep.
22:20Greg takes out
22:20these big zip ties.
22:24I've never seen
22:25zip ties that big
22:27in my life ever.
22:28I didn't even know
22:28they made them that big.
22:30So he's like,
22:30I want you to
22:31tie your mother up
22:32with this.
22:33So Chad is like,
22:34Greg, wait.
22:35Then he pulls the gun out.
22:38So I was like,
22:40Chad,
22:40just do what he says.
22:43So he made my son
22:44zip tie me
22:45and then that's when
22:46he proceeded
22:47to zip tie my son.
22:50I was froze.
22:52I couldn't do anything.
22:56Pierre came to the living room
22:57looking like,
22:58he's tripping like,
22:59what is wrong with him?
23:00Like, you know,
23:01he lost his mind.
23:02She has no clue
23:04what just happened.
23:06But he ends up
23:07zip tying her
23:08and then he says
23:10he wants us
23:10to go to the basement.
23:11we just look at each other.
23:15The thoughts were so loud,
23:17like, go to the basement.
23:20We just look at each other
23:21and then we go down
23:23to the basement
23:24and then he made us
23:25lay down on the floor,
23:28duct tape our mouths,
23:31duct tape around our arms,
23:33behind our back,
23:34ankles,
23:34and then he, like,
23:37extra duct tape me
23:38a lot.
23:40I was thinking that
23:42he was just going to
23:43take the girls
23:43and leave.
23:44That's what I was thinking.
23:45I never thought
23:46he was going to do
23:47anything more than that.
23:48I thought he was really just
23:49trying to, like,
23:51really just scare me.
23:52Gregory Green
23:55had a mindset
23:56where,
23:58above everything else,
24:00he was entitled
24:01to things.
24:03He was superior.
24:05He was better.
24:06And if you didn't give him
24:08what he was entitled to,
24:11he would respond
24:12really, really badly.
24:14Almost like a petulant toddler.
24:17But a petulant toddler
24:19is nowhere near as dangerous
24:21as a fully grown,
24:23violent man
24:24with access to weapons.
24:27He sits down
24:28on the counter
24:29in the basement
24:30and he says
24:32that I'm going to suffer
24:33for what I did
24:34to him and his girls
24:35and he doesn't want
24:36his girls raised
24:37by anybody in my family.
24:39I just felt so bad
24:41because I couldn't help us.
24:43What was I going to do?
24:44Green spent the next hour
24:46going in and out
24:48of the basement
24:48when he returned
24:50for the final time
24:51he turned his gun
24:52on 17-year-old Kara.
24:56He shot her
24:57in the back
24:57twice
24:59and she just
25:01looked at me.
25:04I'm yelling to him
25:05like,
25:06no,
25:06you know,
25:07no,
25:07my baby.
25:09I was begging him
25:10not to shoot her
25:11because once he shot her
25:12in the back,
25:13you know,
25:13she was bleeding
25:15from her mouth
25:16and I knew
25:17she wasn't going
25:18to make it.
25:20He next
25:21turned the gun
25:22on Chadney.
25:24He shot Chadney
25:25twice in the back
25:26and once in the head.
25:31I remember him saying,
25:32ouch,
25:32and he rolled over
25:33and he never moved
25:35again.
25:38Then he aimed
25:38a gun at me
25:39and I remember
25:40just trying to
25:41brace myself
25:41because I didn't know
25:42where he was going
25:43to shoot me.
25:44I just remember
25:44hearing gunshots.
25:47I remember
25:47that burning feeling
25:49and then
25:50he grabbed
25:51my face.
25:53So I remember
25:54that
25:54and then him,
25:55you know,
25:56cutting me
25:56from the side.
25:59I didn't feel it
26:00but I could just
26:00feel the warmth
26:01of the blood
26:01and I see
26:02like blood squirting.
26:06He spared
26:07Faith's life
26:08because he wanted
26:09her to suffer
26:10and live through
26:11it and live
26:12with it.
26:14It is an
26:14unimaginable
26:15burden
26:16for anyone
26:17to bear.
26:18Can you imagine
26:18any mother
26:19watching the death
26:21of her children
26:21in front of her
26:23by a man
26:24she's married
26:25and thought
26:25she could trust?
26:26It's fascinating
26:31from a law enforcement
26:33psychological standpoint
26:35to try to understand
26:37what Mr. Green
26:38actually was thinking
26:40that caused him
26:41to go to those lengths.
26:42What was it
26:43that you thought
26:45by sitting
26:46your wife down
26:47killing her children
26:49in front of her
26:50you were going
26:51to accomplish?
26:53That was the question
26:54that reigned
26:55in my mind
26:55for a long time
26:56after.
26:58In an eerie
26:59echo of the night
27:0125 years earlier
27:02when he'd murdered
27:03his first wife
27:05Green then called
27:06the police
27:07and confessed
27:08to his crime.
27:10I heard him
27:11walk up the stairs
27:12and said
27:12hi my name is
27:13Gregory Green
27:14and that's all
27:15that I could hear.
27:17Then I heard
27:17the door closed.
27:22I was called
27:23woken up
27:24by the sergeant
27:25that was working
27:26on the road patrol
27:29and was apprised
27:30of the situation
27:31at that time.
27:33You almost want
27:35to think
27:35that this isn't real.
27:37Am I dreaming?
27:38The officers
27:39responded
27:40to the scene
27:41from the 911 call.
27:43Mr. Green
27:44was sitting
27:44on the porch.
27:45He was taken
27:46into custody
27:47without incident
27:48by the first
27:49responding officers
27:50and that's when
27:52the officers
27:52then had
27:53the horrific task
27:54of going into
27:55the home
27:55and finding
27:56the crime scene.
27:57I remember
27:59just laying there
28:00and then
28:01there was a knock
28:02at the door
28:02and it was the police.
28:06Faye's children
28:07were shot to death
28:07in front of her.
28:10She had suffered
28:11a cutting wound
28:12from like
28:13the top of her
28:14forehead area
28:16all the way down
28:17to her cheek
28:18and she was also
28:21shot in the foot.
28:22I don't understand
28:24the mentality
28:25but it seemed
28:27like torture to me.
28:29Obviously our
28:29primary concern
28:30in that situation
28:31being there was
28:32no further
28:33danger to
28:34the community
28:35we still have
28:36a victim
28:37that's alive
28:38making sure
28:39that Faith
28:39was taken care of
28:40and sought
28:41medical aid
28:42that was needed.
28:45On this side here
28:46they had to
28:47stitch on the
28:47inside first
28:48and then
28:49stitch the outside
28:50and if he would
28:52have cut me
28:52an inch further
28:53I would have
28:54actually bled to death.
28:56They said that
28:56my foot should
28:57have been shattered
28:57like a lot of pieces
28:59but luckily
29:00the bullet curved
29:01and went out
29:01the bottom.
29:04Faith had survived
29:05her husband's attack
29:07but her nightmare
29:09wasn't over.
29:11Even more
29:12horrifying news
29:13was still to come.
29:20on September
29:25the 21st
29:262016
29:27Gregory Green
29:29had forced
29:29his wife to watch
29:30as he shot
29:31and killed
29:32her two teenage
29:34children.
29:35But as Faith
29:36was about to find out
29:37they weren't
29:38the only murders
29:40he'd committed
29:41that night.
29:43What became apparent
29:45was what Green
29:46was doing
29:47when he left
29:47his wife
29:48and two elder
29:49children tied up
29:50in the basement.
29:53He had already
29:55prepared the car
29:57in the garage
29:58of the home
29:59meaning he had
30:01fastened a piece
30:03of PVC pipe
30:04on the tailpipe
30:05of the vehicle
30:06ran a hose
30:07into the window
30:08of the car.
30:10He went into
30:10the house
30:11lifted the two girls
30:13one by one
30:13out of their beds
30:14they were asleep.
30:15one of the children
30:17briefly woke up
30:18but her daddy
30:20was holding her
30:21so she fell
30:22back asleep.
30:23He carried
30:23the two girls
30:24out to the car
30:25placed them
30:26in the car
30:27tucked them in
30:28shut the door
30:29and turned
30:30the car on.
30:35This was just
30:37incomprehensible
30:38to me.
30:39during this whole
30:44process
30:45Gregory Green
30:46would leave
30:47Coy and Kaylee
30:48in the car
30:49and then
30:50he would go
30:51into the basement
30:52to check on
30:52Kara and Chadney
30:54and Faith
30:55to make sure
30:56they were still
30:56down there.
30:57He didn't tell them
30:58at that time
30:59what was happening
31:00upstairs.
31:01After a period
31:02of time
31:03Gregory Green
31:04went back out
31:04to the garage
31:05he checked
31:06on the two
31:06youngest girls
31:07they appeared
31:08to be lifeless.
31:09He turned
31:10the car off
31:11and then
31:12he carried
31:12them one
31:13by one
31:13back into
31:14the house
31:15and tucked
31:15them in
31:16bed together.
31:17Soon after
31:18being rushed
31:19to hospital
31:20Faith learned
31:21the true extent
31:22of what her
31:23husband had
31:24done to
31:24Coy and Kaylee.
31:26One of the
31:27doctors told me
31:28that they had
31:29passed but I
31:30remember the
31:31police saying
31:32that the little
31:32one is fighting.
31:34I didn't know
31:35what was going
31:35on but Kaylee
31:37was the last
31:37to go
31:38so they
31:40wheeled me
31:41to one
31:42room and
31:43I saw
31:44Coy she was
31:45gone she was
31:46just so cold
31:47and then they
31:48wheeled me to
31:49another room
31:49and Kaylee
31:50she was
31:51still warm.
31:57There was a
31:57lot of the
31:58officers on
31:59scene that
32:00were just
32:00not believing
32:01this you know
32:02you can't
32:02believe that
32:03this happened
32:03but you put
32:04your feelings
32:04aside and
32:05you have a
32:06job to do
32:07and a crime
32:07scene to
32:08process an
32:08investigation to
32:09conduct and
32:10you move
32:10forward.
32:14Now in
32:15custody Gregory
32:16Green was
32:17questioned by
32:18police.
32:19During the
32:20course of his
32:21several hour
32:22statement he
32:23spoke about the
32:25details of the
32:26crime and his
32:29reasons for doing
32:30this.
32:31He repeatedly
32:32referenced the
32:33fact that
32:33Faith Green
32:34had filed for
32:34divorce.
32:36He repeatedly
32:36referenced the
32:37fact that she
32:38was going to
32:39take his house
32:39and he was
32:40going to have
32:41to pay child
32:41support and he
32:43would have
32:43nothing and he
32:44would starve and
32:45he wouldn't have
32:46his girls.
32:48He repeatedly
32:49indicated during
32:50the course of his
32:51statement that he
32:52had no choice.
32:53He had to do
32:54this.
32:56The lack of
32:57emotion, the
32:58lack of
32:59conscience, the
33:01matter-of-factness
33:02in which Gregory
33:03Green detailed to
33:05the detectives what
33:06he had done to
33:07these children.
33:10What I found most
33:11troublesome about
33:12Mr. Green was
33:14there was a
33:15statement that
33:16alluded to the
33:16fact that he felt
33:17his children were
33:19better off in
33:20heaven with God
33:21than being raised
33:23by her.
33:24That was his
33:25logic behind
33:27taking the lives
33:28of his children.
33:30In this
33:31incident, Gregory
33:32Green had every
33:33opportunity to also
33:35murder Faith Green
33:36and he intentionally
33:37did not do that.
33:40The detectives
33:40asked him,
33:41why didn't you
33:42kill her?
33:44And his words
33:45were, death would
33:46have been too
33:46good for her.
33:48I wanted her to
33:49live with what
33:50she made me do.
33:53It's the ultimate
33:54act of power and
33:55control.
33:56Gregory Green
33:57knew at the time
33:58he did these
33:58things, he was
33:59going to spend
34:00the rest of his
34:00life in prison
34:01and he was
34:02resigned to that
34:02fact.
34:03But he wanted
34:04Faith Green to
34:06suffer forever.
34:08And allowing her
34:09to live was his
34:10way of guaranteeing
34:12in his mind that
34:13he could control
34:14her and make her
34:14suffer forever.
34:17That's the
34:18sonification of
34:19evil and shows
34:22us exactly what
34:24his motivations
34:25were.
34:26His motivation
34:27was to punish
34:28Faith for having
34:29the audacity to
34:32leave him.
34:36In the days
34:37following the
34:38murders, the
34:39story hit the
34:40press.
34:41It was only then
34:42that Faith learned
34:43the awful truth
34:44about her husband's
34:46first wife.
34:47death.
34:47I was on my
34:48dad's phone and
34:49that was like the
34:50first thing that
34:50popped up.
34:52She was about six,
34:54seven months
34:54pregnant and he
34:55stabbed her to death.
35:00And I was just
35:01thinking like, oh my
35:02God, I'm just
35:03crying like, because
35:04I never knew, I'm
35:06just bawling my eyes
35:07out, I'm just sick
35:08to my stomach.
35:10Faith found it
35:11hard to come to
35:12terms with the
35:13parole board's
35:14previous decision
35:15to release
35:16Green.
35:17He actually
35:18shouldn't have
35:19ever been let
35:20out.
35:20He was never
35:21rehabilitated.
35:22He just told
35:23them what they
35:25wanted to hear
35:25because he has a
35:26demeanor where
35:26people like him,
35:28they gravitate
35:29toward him, and
35:30he used that to
35:31his advantage.
35:33Faith's whole
35:34life had been
35:35destroyed in one
35:36night by the
35:37husband who
35:38claimed to love
35:39her.
35:40But there was
35:40still one piece
35:42of news she
35:42was yet to
35:43hear that
35:44would once
35:45again rock
35:46her to the
35:47core.
35:49One of the
35:49terrible ironies
35:51of this case
35:51is that Faith
35:53was in hospital
35:53recovering from
35:55the torture
35:55from Green
35:56when she heard
35:57it was her
35:58own father
35:58who'd helped
35:59him get out
36:00of jail.
36:01Imagine the
36:02shock that
36:03must have
36:03been to the
36:04young woman.
36:05I found
36:06out just like
36:07everyone else
36:08did that my
36:09father had
36:10wrote letters
36:11for my
36:12ex-husband
36:13to help
36:14him get
36:15out of
36:15prison.
36:16For a long
36:17time I
36:18didn't want
36:18anything to
36:18do with
36:19my father.
36:21I probably
36:22pushed my
36:22family away
36:23at some
36:23point too
36:24and vice
36:24versa
36:25because they
36:26weren't
36:26understanding
36:26what I was
36:27going through.
36:28I mean I
36:28didn't understand
36:29what I was
36:29going through.
36:30How do you
36:31really put
36:32your head
36:32around losing
36:33four children?
36:35I was on
36:36a lot of
36:36medication.
36:37I was spiraling
36:37out of control
36:38you know.
36:44Gregory
36:45Green was
36:46charged with
36:46a litany
36:47of felonies
36:48for the
36:49Dearborn Heights
36:49massacre
36:50including four
36:51counts of
36:52first degree
36:53murder.
36:57It was a
36:58very strong
36:58case because
37:00it almost
37:01came down
37:02to a point
37:03where once
37:04we did our
37:04protocol and
37:05procedures with
37:07Mr. Green
37:07confessing to
37:08committing the
37:09homicides,
37:10having the
37:11victims,
37:11having a
37:12live witness
37:12that witnessed
37:13everything,
37:15there's really
37:15not much
37:16to argue.
37:20What the
37:21investigation
37:21showed was
37:22that approximately
37:23a week prior
37:24to the murders
37:25he had gone
37:26to a local
37:26hardware store
37:27here in
37:28Michigan.
37:28He had
37:29purchased the
37:30PVC pipe
37:31that he used
37:32on the car,
37:34the plastic
37:34tubing he used
37:35on the car,
37:36the zip ties,
37:38and duct tape.
37:41During his
37:42interrogation,
37:42Gregory Green
37:43admitted that
37:44he knew he was
37:45going to do
37:45something.
37:46He just didn't
37:47know when he
37:48was going to
37:48do it.
37:51I think it
37:52would be a
37:53difficult argument
37:54for any defense
37:54attorney to make
37:55regardless of
37:57whether he had
37:57bought it days
37:58earlier.
37:59The mere fact
37:59that his
37:59children died
38:00from carbon
38:01monoxide poisoning
38:02shows premeditation.
38:06Ultimately,
38:07a plea offer
38:08was extended
38:09by the
38:10prosecutor's
38:11office to
38:12Gregory Green,
38:13whereby he
38:14would plead
38:14guilty to
38:15four counts
38:16of second-degree
38:17murder,
38:18one count
38:18of torture,
38:20one count
38:20of assault
38:21with intent
38:21to do great
38:22bodily harm,
38:23and one count
38:24of felony
38:24firearm.
38:25The plea
38:27offer in
38:27this case
38:28took into
38:28account the
38:30objectives of
38:31Faith Green,
38:33primarily that
38:35Gregory Green
38:35spend the rest
38:36of his natural
38:37life in prison.
38:38This plea
38:39offer also took
38:41into account
38:42the trauma
38:43that a trial
38:44would cause
38:45to Faith Green
38:46in having to
38:47relive and
38:49testify about
38:50witnessing the
38:51murders of
38:52her children.
38:52death.
38:53On March 1st,
38:562017,
38:58approximately six
38:59months after he'd
39:00murdered his two
39:01daughters and his
39:02two stepchildren,
39:04Gregory Green was
39:05back in court for
39:06his sentencing hearing.
39:08To her immense credit,
39:14Faith turned up at
39:16Green's sentencing and
39:18indeed called him out in
39:21front of the jury and the
39:23judge.
39:24She said,
39:25you're a con man,
39:26you're a monster,
39:27and you're the devil in
39:28disguise.
39:29She was very brave and
39:33very strong, and she
39:36was there speaking for
39:38her children.
39:40I wanted to be face
39:41to face with him, if it
39:43were my choice.
39:44You know, that's why I
39:45kept looking at him, even
39:47though it was the back of
39:47his head, because to let
39:49him know how I felt, so
39:51he could see my eyes,
39:53feel my pain.
39:53I don't recall Mr. Green
39:57ever looking at Faith
39:59Green and making eye
40:00contact with her.
40:01I recall him sitting and
40:03just looking straight
40:04forward as she delivered
40:05her remarks with no
40:07emotion on his face.
40:10Mr. Green was ready to
40:11go back to prison.
40:12You know, he was like,
40:13I did it.
40:14I turned myself in.
40:15Can we just go now?
40:17He felt he was mission
40:19accomplished.
40:20It was like, I killed my
40:21kids, I did what I did,
40:22put me in jail.
40:23It was just unfathomable.
40:26There was no remorse, no
40:28shame, no guilt, and he
40:30kept talking about how God
40:31would look after him.
40:32So he's still got that
40:34massive ego there that I'm
40:37special and I will be
40:39forgiven and God is going
40:40to look after me.
40:41I mean, the extent of that
40:43man's ego is absolutely
40:45staggering.
40:47For Faith, I don't know
40:49how she sat through those
40:51court hearings, looking at
40:53that person that just took
40:54her children.
40:57I was awed by her ability to
41:00stand up and face her abuser,
41:03face the man who had done this
41:05to her, and never once waver.
41:08From the moment I met her, I knew
41:10she was a very strong woman.
41:12She was committed to finding
41:16justice for her children from day
41:18one.
41:19I just had to let him know, I
41:23wasn't scared of you, and you
41:25know, you did these things to hurt
41:27me because I wouldn't stay in your
41:30box because you wanted to control
41:32me, and I wouldn't give in to him.
41:34And I'm still not giving in to him, even
41:36though my children aren't here, but I still
41:40continue to fight for them.
41:42Gregory Green was sentenced to serve
41:4945 to 100 years in prison, plus an
41:53additional two-year term for the
41:55firearms charge.
41:56I think it was a judge who said, a
42:01father is there to protect his
42:02children, and a husband is there to
42:04protect his wife.
42:06Green did neither.
42:08He was 50 years old at the time, so
42:11when we did the math, I as a
42:13prosecutor understood he would not
42:15be eligible for parole until he was
42:1997 years old.
42:20And that would be the first time
42:22parole could even be considered.
42:24So, in effect, it was my belief that
42:28he would die in prison.
42:32The wounds that Faith suffered, she
42:35may have recovered from the physical
42:37injuries, but the emotional injuries
42:40and the sheer effect on her will never
42:43go away.
42:44They cannot possibly.
42:46It is an unimaginable nightmare.
42:50I can't ever let him win.
42:52So, I'm going to keep honoring my
42:54children.
42:56I talk about them all the time.
42:59I have so many stories and pictures.
43:03I did so much with them.
43:05I enjoyed my children.
43:07I enjoyed being a mom.
43:10My children would be proud of how far
43:13I've come.
43:13They wouldn't want me to be sulking.
43:15They would want me to be happy.
