00:06Did she say anything to you?
00:07No, she just threw that shit at me, came back here, and set me on fire.
00:11It's one of the worst burns I've ever seen.
00:13My right arm is peeling, my face is peeling.
00:16So the bitch died?
00:17I would say she has less than a 2% chance of surviving.
00:20Did her brain turn to mush?
00:22What?
00:22Is she black from being burned?
00:23It didn't burn until it turned black.
00:25That's not how burns work.
00:27Are you sure? Because I think so.
00:28It's fucking hot in here.
00:30Holy shit!
00:32So if she dies, will the charge be upgraded to premeditated murder?
00:35Yes sir.
00:37I don't think the bitch is going to wake up.
00:39March 30, 2022 was just another day for the employees of a Circle K gas station.
00:46in Pensacola, Florida.
00:48At least until a customer threw gasoline on one of the boxes, it was going to catch fire.
00:52Investigators struggled to understand what led the assailant to commit such a horrific act.
00:57What they discovered along the way was almost impossible to comprehend.
01:02Most of the following images have never been seen before.
01:06The Escambia County Sheriff's Department learned of the brutal attack upon receiving this distressing report.
01:12A 911 call came from a nearby Circle K station.
01:17Do you need police, firefighters, or an ambulance?
01:19We need police and firefighters.
01:21This woman set someone on fire in the store.
01:23Is it still on fire?
01:25Yes.
01:26I need you to go over there and tell her to stop running, lie down on the ground, and cover her face.
01:31and roll.
01:32What the hell? That girl is crazy.
01:38Is it still on fire?
01:42What? Oh, yes. It's still on fire. I'm calling the police.
01:46Okay. Tell her to stop.
01:51If there is water on the ground, throw yourself on it immediately.
01:54Where is it burned?
01:58Can I see? She has burns on her face and arm.
02:02She is burned from the waist up.
02:04Her entire skin.
02:05Everything? Both arms?
02:07Yes.
02:07Okay. Your arms, face, and neck.
02:10Okay. The chest.
02:11A second call to 911 came in moments later.
02:15And again, the background noise was chilling.
02:19I can't move my hand. Just give me something quickly. I don't care.
02:24However, witnessing the carnage live was far worse.
02:27Hello.
02:29Yes, she's here.
02:30Hey, where did the girl who set it on fire go?
02:32She's gone, she's already left.
02:36Yes, she will have to go to the hospital, sir.
02:40Call an ambulance. It's a trauma alert.
02:42A customer reacted quickly and threw a bucket of water on the victim, Joy Helmut.
02:47The police would speak to the man, but first they had to deal with the horror that was still unfolding at the scene.
02:54Surprisingly, the victim's understanding of what had occurred was extremely limited.
02:58Hey, did she say anything to you?
03:00No, she just threw that crap at me.
03:01You're burned.
03:02And he set me on fire. I didn't do anything. I just walked into the store.
03:06Honey, how old is she?
03:08I am 37.
03:09How old is the girl who burned you?
03:11Oh, I don't know.
03:12Approximately one-third of Job's body was covered in second- and third-degree burns.
03:18Despite the best medical efforts, his condition deteriorated rapidly.
03:23She was placed in an induced coma and needed life support to survive.
03:28In an attempt to save her, Joy was airlifted to a specialized burn center in Alabama.
03:34Back in Pensacola, the police's priority was to locate the perpetrator and arrest her before she caused further damage.
03:47Fortunately, the witness was able to provide a fairly detailed physical description of the suspect.
03:52He said that the police needed to be on the lookout for an African-American woman in her 30s.
03:57wearing a black tracksuit with yellow details.
04:01According to him, her toenails were painted with blue glitter nail polish.
04:05The description was relayed to all units on site.
04:09And it wasn't long before the police caught up with the person responsible for this heinous crime.
04:33Okay, she has a black sweatshirt that we found in the trash.
04:36It smells like gasoline, so we're on the right track.
04:39While the foot chase continued, other police officers patrolled in vehicles.
04:44One of them noticed a woman matching the suspect's description entering a house.
04:49I want to talk to this young lady for a minute, okay?
04:52Hey, do you have a document with you?
04:55I don't have any documents with me.
04:57Did I do something wrong?
05:00Go over there. Sit down and talk to them.
05:08Am I in trouble for something?
05:11We are working on it. You are being held due to an investigation.
05:15In less than five minutes, the police dog tracked the scent of gasoline to the same location.
05:21Drink some water, my friend. It has to be water.
05:24Hello, sir. How are you?
05:26Yes, it's her. Put her in the car.
05:29That's the exact description. Even the blue nails are matching.
05:33What? Who said I had blue nails?
05:35No one is talking to you right now. We'll talk to you in a minute.
05:38OK.
05:39With the suspect in custody, the police officers couldn't stop thinking about the disturbing things they had seen at the station.
05:46This is one of the worst burns I've ever seen. The right arm is peeling. The face is peeling.
05:51The horror, however, seemed not to affect the suspicion.
05:55When she was alone in the back of the police car, it quickly became clear that something was wrong.
06:06Miss, could you keep an eye on a few people?
06:08These guys have a long way to go.
06:10I have to go to prison. Let me get my lawyer.
06:12Shit? Was it me?
06:13No. Can you take me?
06:15You shouldn't have messed with me.
06:16Everyone knows I'm going to jail.
06:17Don't worry.
06:18Could it have been me?
06:19I don't know.
06:20Can you see me?
06:21Can you see me, bitch?
06:22You're seeing me because I'm real, bitch.
06:24Don't mess with me.
06:28They're not going to take your ass.
06:42Believe it or not, this was nothing compared to later behaviors, which would represent...
06:47a significant barrier to understanding crime.
06:50Before leaving the scene, the police spoke with the elderly woman who owned the house where the suspect was located.
06:55She was arrested.
06:56She was a friend of her family.
06:58Did she talk to you about a gallon of gasoline?
07:00Everything is fine with the gasoline can.
07:02I'm not worried.
07:03But perhaps we should be more concerned about the gallon of gasoline.
07:07Where was he?
07:08She had it when she left.
07:09She said she was going to get gasoline and I asked.
07:12For what?
07:13She said.
07:13I have a quad bike that I need to refuel.
07:16I didn't question anything.
07:17That's what I was talking to her about when she arrived.
07:20I said.
07:20What did you do with my gallon of gasoline?
07:22Did you throw it away?
07:23And how long was she gone before she returned?
07:26Just a few minutes.
07:27More things than the owner had to say would become relevant.
07:31As soon as the police began to unravel the complex details of what led to the events
07:36Horrible at the Circle K gas station.
07:38Obtaining the suspect's story, however, would not be easy at all.
07:42And the detectives involved in the case would remember it as one of the most insane interrogations.
07:47that they have already conducted.
07:52Everyone is sleepy.
07:53I wonder what he'll say when he wakes up.
07:57She arrived and asked what was going on.
08:02Only when she's being serious.
08:05I saw the fire, all the flames and everything else on that bitch.
08:09You can't disrespect me.
08:11Don't tell me something that a Black person already knows.
08:13A black person always says.
08:15Don't say a bunch of processes and stuff.
08:18You disrespected me.
08:20I was already angry.
08:21It was because of two damn white guys in there.
08:24And for me to jump on the counter and grab the money.
08:27But you're still mine.
08:28That's what happened.
08:29I had the gasoline.
08:30You came and said.
08:32I didn't say I was leaving.
08:34You talked nonsense to me.
08:35I didn't say anything to you, you stupid bitch.
08:38Excuse my language.
08:39You came and stood there looking like a damn monkey.
08:41Why didn't you mind your own business?
08:42You had to mess with me.
08:47She gave me gasoline.
08:50So it is.
08:50She'll have to go back to see her.
08:52Drug.
08:52Money scares the world.
08:54Money makes girls smile.
08:58The reason Betty is behaving that way
09:01It would have to be determined as soon as possible.
09:04What the police discovered would have a huge impact on the case.
09:08Especially when it came to the question of motive.
09:11Hello dear.
09:12Hi, sir. How are you?
09:12How are you, ma'am?
09:13Would you like something to drink?
09:14Yes, please.
09:15Do you really want water?
09:15Or what?
09:16Can I drink juice or soda?
09:18Which soda?
09:19Please, sir.
09:22Well, we have Coca-Cola products.
09:23Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper.
09:25Mountain Dew.
09:26Dr. Pepper, please.
09:27Ah, Dr. Pepper.
09:29We have something in common.
09:30I love it, Dr. Pepper.
09:32What's your name, darling?
09:34Sir, my name is Betty Jean McFadden.
09:36Betty Jean McFadden, sir.
09:38Can I call her Betty?
09:39Yes sir.
09:40That's my name.
09:41Excellent.
09:44Betty Jean.
09:45Yes sir.
09:46It's a beautiful name.
09:47Thank you, sir.
09:48Where do you live?
09:49I'm homeless.
09:50Although Betty had been apprehended at a house, she clarified that she did not live there.
09:55The owner said that Betty and her family had stayed with her in the past, but
10:01that this was no longer the case.
10:02This was a great start to clarifying what happened at the gas station that day.
10:07But then, Betty's story completely veered off-topic.
10:10Well, sir, I want to make a small complaint.
10:13I was homeless.
10:14And on the streets, I started using heroin.
10:17And I couldn't stop.
10:18But I'm trying to find out who the guy was.
10:20Look what I managed to get.
10:22Thank you, sir.
10:23Yes.
10:24Here it is.
10:25I don't blame my mother for this, because I don't know what she would do, but...
10:29Despite the brief interruption, Betty immediately resumed her story.
10:33Unfortunately, it made no more sense than at the beginning, leaving the police struggling.
10:38to understand Betty's mental state.
10:40Well, that was about two years ago?
10:42Okay, understood.
10:43So, do you know what year it is now?
10:47It's 2022.
10:49Okay, just out of curiosity, do you know who the president is now?
10:52Biden.
10:53Why these questions?
10:54Am I in trouble?
10:55Okay, let's talk about it.
10:56Okay, sir.
10:57I'm explaining.
10:58I'm black, so you need to listen to me, because this is a complaint.
11:01I don't know what's going on.
11:02I don't know why I'm here.
11:03So don't have that attitude, okay?
11:05Listen.
11:05Hey, look.
11:06I'm here to listen to you.
11:08I want to hear everything you have to say, okay?
11:11Okay, just ask.
11:12I don't know what's going on.
11:13At this point, the detectives informed Betty of her Miranda rights.
11:17She confirmed that she was willing to speak with him without a lawyer.
11:21This was the beginning of an amazing journey.
11:23I'm a little upset right now.
11:25I understand.
11:26Look, I'm just trying to get to know you, because we've never met before.
11:31What's going on here?
11:33All I want to do is...
11:34Why the hell am I here?
11:35Let's talk about it, but I want to get to know you first.
11:37What the hell is this paper?
11:39These are your rights.
11:40For a suspect to waive their Miranda rights, it is necessary that they demonstrate understanding.
11:46These rights, consciously decide not to invoke them and are not coerced into continuing.
11:51talking to the police.
11:53The fact that Betty demanded to know what the document she had just signed was about is not a
11:58A good indicator that she understood her rights.
12:01Can you tell me about what you did today?
12:04It starts from the moment you woke up until you end up here with us.
12:08I don't know, sir.
12:10I kind of did something, and I don't know why I did it.
12:13What's the next question?
12:14OK.
12:15So, you told me that you did something today because something upset you.
12:19Tell me a little more about it.
12:21Someone approached me.
12:22She was white, Caucasian.
12:24She came up to me and said something, but it wasn't meant for her.
12:27I was going there to do something, to try to be a criminal, which is what I am.
12:33OK.
12:33Where is this?
12:34You said you were going there.
12:38I went to the store and said, mind your own business.
12:41I just wanted to grab a soda, but damn, I'm not going to keep telling you.
12:45Just tell me what the hell is going on.
12:48I'm not going to tell you anything else.
12:49Why do you think you're here?
12:54I know I did.
12:56I did this shit.
12:57Okay, but what did you do?
13:00I mean, I went into the store and committed a crime.
13:04That's what I'm saying.
13:04What was that act?
13:05I'm not going to tell.
13:06Although Betty was reluctant at the time, her story would eventually come to light.
13:11It turns out she was hiding more than anyone expected.
13:15OK.
13:16So you went to the Alca Circus today?
13:18Was this one of the stores you visited?
13:20Yes sir.
13:21OK.
13:22Did you get gasoline?
13:26That's not funny, sir.
13:28Listen.
13:28The woman who worked there was entering the store.
13:31She came up to me while I was thinking about the gasoline.
13:33And as I said before, listen, it wasn't meant for her.
13:37She told me some nonsense.
13:38It was supposed to be for two white people in the store, you know?
13:40To burn them alive.
13:41When the police reviewed the security footage from Circle K, they saw Betty outside the gas station.
13:47Gasoline.
13:48Interestingly, the accusations Betty made did not seem to match what was seen in the images.
13:53She had to go into the store.
13:55And she said, look, I'm trying to get some gas, but listen, I'm just going to their store.
14:00to burn those wretches.
14:02Because I was angry.
14:03Someone told me, listen, someone told me they were going to beat me up, man.
14:07So they said the girls in the store were going to beat you up?
14:10The next thing I'm going to do, I said, you're going to fight with me and I'm going to stab you in the eye.
14:14If I could cut the bitch right here, her eye would pop out, wouldn't it?
14:19EWU, look over there.
14:20Yes, it's possible.
14:21EWU reached out to Betty for an exclusive comment.
14:25And she said that on the day of the attack, she, quote, "politely lost her temper."
14:31Anyway, you said you burned that bitch's ass, so...
14:35Listen, those two white guys in the store should be burned.
14:37When I saw the broken glass, I was trying to jump out and grab the damn cash register.
14:41Do they have the keys with them when they work on this shit?
14:44It depends, each store is different and operates in a distinct way.
14:47I don't know if they do that.
14:49So, let me see if I understand, because we changed it a bit.
14:52I just want to check.
14:53Were you trying to steal the money?
14:54Look, this was my first attempt.
14:56But she said some nonsense to me.
14:58She said something like...
14:59Oh, what the hell did that bitch say?
15:01She came right up to me, man.
15:02Listen, it wasn't meant for her.
15:04If I did something to her, I have a witness to it.
15:06And I apologize.
15:07I don't know what the hell is going on.
15:09Listen, I had something to do.
15:11I had something to do, damn it.
15:13I had something to do, but it wasn't for her.
15:15I was going to burn that black bitch who was standing there looking like an idiot.
15:18I thought, wow, maybe I shouldn't do this.
15:21So you decided to throw gasoline on a woman because she was white?
15:24No, sir.
15:24Oh, that didn't matter?
15:25No, sir.
15:26As the investigation progressed, Betty's allegations against the employee grew.
15:30They would be refuted repeatedly.
15:32So the goal was to burn them and take the money?
15:35Yes.
15:35Why didn't you take the money this time?
15:37Why didn't you go back to get it?
15:39Damn, I couldn't do it.
15:40It was very fast.
15:40I wasn't thinking.
15:41Damn, I tried to grab the damn money.
15:44The money will still be mine, sir.
15:45I'm not stupid.
15:46Have you done something like this before?
15:48No, sir.
15:49But I was in trouble.
15:50And what was the problem?
15:52Serious assault.
15:53Crack pipe.
15:54OK.
15:54OK.
15:55I'm trying to remember.
15:56I always get myself into trouble.
15:59OK.
15:59Did you use crack or any other drug today?
16:01No, sir.
16:02Just a few minutes earlier, Betty had said something different about drug use.
16:07I smoked some crack and took care of my business.
16:09But I'm still focused on going into that store.
16:11If I say what I'm going to do, I actually do it.
16:13OK.
16:14Another quick comment from Betty led the police to crucial information.
16:18I just got out of prison on January 11th.
16:20I've only been away for 10 months.
16:22There was more to this part of the story than Betty initially let on.
16:26Betty had already been arrested several times by the Escambia County Sheriff's Department.
16:31once while she was walking around completely naked.
16:35However, one arrest stood out, indicating a potentially worrying pattern.
16:39In June 2019, Betty was arrested for throwing a rock at a convenience store clerk who asked for something.
16:46for her to leave.
16:48When the police arrived, Betty scratched and bit an officer while they were trying to arrest her.
16:53Although there are no images of this arrest, Betty's behavior in the police car was incredibly familiar.
17:00I'm going to collect this stone as proof.
17:02I don't have any stones, you idiot.
17:04Come on, man.
17:05Don't provoke me.
17:08Because I'm going to finish you off, you idiot.
17:10Let me see if I can get out of this mess.
17:12Help me get up.
17:13What is that?
17:14I want.
17:15They're going to take you and me.
17:16Ah, okay.
17:17I'm out.
17:18Wait.
17:18Shut up.
17:19You won't catch me.
17:20You won't achieve anything else.
17:23And if you choose to stay, I'll keep scratching you nonstop.
17:27According to reports from the Escambia County Sheriff's Department,
17:31Betty's mother didn't believe her daughter should have been released from prison because of her problems.
17:36As the interrogation progressed, the extent of these problems would be revealed.
17:41I think that's what I'm trying to understand.
17:44When did you decide you were going to go into the store and burn their asses?
17:50That's what I want to understand.
17:54She said something.
17:56I approached her when she said something to me.
17:58OK.
17:58That's what I'm trying to find out.
18:00What did she say?
18:01Listen, I had the gasoline can in my hand, okay?
18:04She came up to me and started trying to be rude and stuff.
18:07She should go into the store, mind her own business, and get to work.
18:11She just went out and went to the store.
18:12The cameras recorded some of what Betty described, but not all of it.
18:16She was standing in front with a gallon of gasoline, but the only person interacting with her was...
18:21another customer.
18:23Clearly, more was happening than appeared, and the images would reveal a sequence of...
18:27chilling events.
18:28I didn't have any money, so I asked someone.
18:31I asked for some money.
18:32They gave me some money.
18:34She came and got out of the car, you know?
18:36I managed to get the...
18:37THE...
18:38Damn, what's it called again?
18:39The gas tank?
18:41A gallon of gasoline?
18:42Yes, the gallon of gasoline.
18:43I asked for one and nobody wanted to give me one.
18:45That's right.
18:46Betty didn't even pay for the gasoline used in the brutal attack.
18:49Security footage showed Betty entering the Circle K store with the woman she spoke to.
18:55outside.
18:55The two waited in line, and according to the police report and the receipt, the woman paid for the gasoline.
19:02by Betty.
19:03A day later, the woman who paid for the gasoline posted on Facebook.
19:06I gave that SOB $5 worth of gas and that's what she used it for?
19:11Another notable thing in the security footage was that Betty never approached the cash register nor
19:16It seemed like she was speaking directly to Joy.
19:18After waking from her coma, Joy was able to speak with the police and tell her side of the story.
19:23horrible.
19:23When was the first time you remember seeing her?
19:26It was right after I put my food on the ground and turned around.
19:29She was standing in line, as if she were going to buy something.
19:33She was fiddling with a gasoline can.
19:35What exactly did she do?
19:37It looked like she was opening it.
19:39But I didn't know if there was anything inside.
19:42I thought maybe he was trying to buy gasoline.
19:44Even though she managed to give that brief statement, Joy's survival was uncertain.
19:50far from guaranteed.
19:51Security footage showed that after paying for the fuel, Betty left the store.
19:56and filled the gasoline can.
19:58His terrible plan was in action.
20:01When she returned to the store with the full gallon, no one noticed the imminent danger.
20:05I don't know what happened, but yeah, I messed up.
20:08OK.
20:09I went in there, took the lid off that thing, and poured gasoline on it.
20:12Oh, and she got burned.
20:13I threw gasoline on her, she ran back, and I lit a match on my coat.
20:17OK.
20:18I lit a match and threw it at her.
20:20OK.
20:22I don't know if anyone got burned.
20:24I don't care at all.
20:25You didn't care if they burned?
20:27No!
20:27I saw the bitch catching fire.
20:29Flames everywhere, so I left the store.
20:31Joy also failed to provide any more context to this senseless attack.
20:35You said she threw gasoline on you and it got in your eye.
20:38Did she say something?
20:39No.
20:40Nobody said anything to anybody.
20:41I looked up.
20:43At the entrance, you know, to go into the office.
20:45And all I saw was a match that she simply threw at me.
20:49Beth's own memory failed to capture the true horror of the attack.
20:54But the security footage would reveal the extent of the terrifying act.
20:58However, the focus remained on Beth's version of events.
21:02She annoyed me.
21:03I was furious.
21:05Amen, seriously, right?
21:07Once you're angry, there's no going back, right?
21:10Yes, but she was rude to tell me that.
21:12I understood.
21:12So it was less about what she said and more about how she said it.
21:16That's all she said, man.
21:18Listen, it had nothing to do with color, man.
21:20I don't see color that way.
21:21All good.
21:22I'm only mentioning this because you brought it up.
21:25So I want to make sure I understand, okay?
21:28Because again, I want to understand.
21:29What do you have to say?
21:31Even after talking to Joy, the origin of Beth's anger remained a mystery.
21:36Just to be sure, have you seen it in the store before?
21:38Never.
21:39So, you don't remember interacting with her that day or at any other time?
21:44No.
21:44However, earlier in the conversation with Beth, the police discovered a crucial detail about
21:50His suspicions of hallucinations, which could have major implications for his motivation.
21:55I heard you mention that you have schizophrenia.
21:57When were you diagnosed?
21:59In 2010.
22:00So, what does your schizophrenia cause?
22:03So, how does that work for you?
22:06They only said that I hear voices and see things, but when I get upset, nobody can calm me down.
22:10Like, if someone thinks I'm going to do something wrong, I'll probably do it.
22:14That's like a provocation, you know?
22:16Does that make sense, sir?
22:18That's what they diagnosed me with.
22:20I have nothing to do with this, okay?
22:21OK.
22:22And that's my point, you know?
22:24Do you believe you have that?
22:26Or do you think that's all there is to it...
22:28So, you don't believe you have it?
22:30No, sir.
22:31So, someone is saying that you hear voices and see things?
22:34Sir, I don't know.
22:35I don't know.
22:36Listen, don't ask me that again, okay?
22:38OK.
22:38No problem.
22:39While this provided some additional context, a medical diagnosis does not justify...
22:44Betty's terrible attack on Joy.
22:46What Betty admitted next highlighted her chilling intention.
22:50You wanted to burn it.
22:51Is she dead?
22:53Yes, she's probably dead.
22:55Damn, that sucks.
22:58But I thought that was the point.
22:59I thought that was what I wanted.
23:01Look, I just don't give a damn, you know?
23:03The flames were rising.
23:04I said I've never burned anyone before.
23:06The flames were rising, I'm almost certain she's going to die.
23:10But I don't know how badly she got burned in there.
23:12They rushed to try and help her.
23:13So I left the store and didn't give a damn.
23:15Yes, so much so that you forgot to take the money you had planned to bring.
23:18Damn, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
23:20I tried.
23:21I had to run back and confront the black bitch and...
23:23Wasn't it worth your time?
23:25I didn't have time to throw gasoline on that bitch.
23:28And where did you go after that?
23:30Hmm...
23:30I went to the park to sit down.
23:32And what did he do next?
23:33Nothing.
23:34The cops came after me.
23:35That wasn't exactly true.
23:37The police collected security footage from establishments along the route that
23:42They suspected Betty took it after leaving Circle K.
23:46And then Betty appeared in the security camera footage from another gas station and store.
23:50A convenience store called Lucky 7.
23:52Based on the times and the fact that Betty was no longer wearing her coat, the police
23:58I knew this happened after the attack.
24:00Apparently, she decided to make a quick purchase while fleeing the crime scene.
24:05Curious about what Betty had bought after setting Joy on fire, the police recovered
24:10The contents of the Lucky 7 bag from the house where Betty was arrested.
24:14I don't know about that because you'd be surprised by the young people.
24:18Is there another fireball?
24:19Yes.
24:20OK.
24:21Yes.
24:21This one is the same as the one she had in her hand that was outside.
24:24What is that?
24:25This is a small alcoholic shot.
24:27Another outstanding issue was the gallon of gasoline that had been borrowed.
24:31When questioned, Betty insisted that the elderly lady didn't know what she was plotting by asking.
24:36to use it.
24:37They have nothing in common.
24:38They have nothing to do with it.
24:39This whole thing is mine.
24:41Don't put those bastards in, because they'll say they didn't do anything.
24:44This was consistent with what the homeowner told the police.
24:48I could hear sirens and everything.
24:50But I don't know what happened.
24:52I hope she didn't hurt anyone.
24:55She got hurt.
24:56Did she throw gasoline on someone?
24:58She seriously injured someone.
25:00During questioning, the police continued trying to understand the role of mental illness.
25:05Betty's involvement in the horrific crime.
25:07Perhaps, as a result, things became even more intense.
25:11Betty made it clear that she was unhappy about having to take medication because of the side effects.
25:16side effects, such as weight gain.
25:18However, she also said that in order to receive money from the state, she needed to follow the prescription.
25:24Whether she was actually carrying out that order was impossible to say.
25:27So, what happens if you don't take your medication?
25:30Hmm, I could take that for...
25:33Like this?
25:34Like, do you feel different when you don't take your medication?
25:38No, but sometimes okay.
25:39I don't believe I need medication, but this is my illness, so I have no choice.
25:44Did you take your medicine this morning or not?
25:45No, sir.
25:46Didn't you take it?
25:47When did you last take it?
25:49The night before.
25:51Okay, it was last night.
25:52Do you usually take it at night?
25:53Yes sir.
25:54And when all of this was happening, were you, like, seeing or hearing things?
26:00No way.
26:01So, from what you realized at the time, you, your mind, was, like, focused on what you
26:07What were you doing?
26:08Yes sir.
26:09Up until now, the conversation was going well, but the drastic turn that followed...
26:14It was totally unexpected.
26:16Sir, what do you think social security will do?
26:19Well, I don't know.
26:21I mean, obviously this is kind of serious, Beth.
26:24I believe you understand.
26:26Like, you know, taking the life of another human being is a very serious thing, right?
26:31I mean, you can't joke about this, right?
26:34I mean, clearly, we have a problem here.
26:37And that's why we're talking, because of what happened.
26:41Well, if she thinks she's not going to die and believes she's going to beat me up, I'll kill her too.
26:45I just said I poured the damn gasoline on her and boom, but I didn't get there fast enough.
26:49Enough.
26:50Well, I don't know, man, it was meant for someone else.
26:52May that damned white woman burn and die too.
26:54So, you know what I said to that bitch?
26:56I told you that if you mess with me, I'll get the chainsaw and rip your damn head off.
27:00I don't care at all.
27:01I understood.
27:03She'd probably beat me up, man.
27:05And I don't care at all.
27:06I'd grab the chainsaw to finish that bitch off once and for all.
27:08I would have written the words in black.
27:10What the hell are you trying to do?
27:12Just finish off that bitch already.
27:13Leave me alone, damn it.
27:17Thank you very much.
27:18Drink your soda, okay?
27:20We'll be right back.
27:21Okay, sir.
27:22Look, I know.
27:23I know I'm not going out.
27:24Probably perpetual.
27:25Probably.
27:26I don't know, ma'am.
27:27It's not up to me to decide that.
27:29So the bitch died?
27:31She is not dead yet, but the situation is not good.
27:34I mean, she was badly burned.
27:37It's very serious.
27:38Usually, when someone is burned like that, they don't survive.
27:41They had to take her to another state.
27:44To try and treat her, because she is badly burned.
27:46Does it have black spots around it?
27:48Oh yes.
27:49Yes, she does.
27:50Like, she's not even recognizable right now.
27:53OK.
27:54Okay, sir.
27:55That was your goal, right?
27:57You did what you planned.
27:58Yes sir.
27:59A man who was in line behind Betty at the Circle K store heroically attempted to rescue her.
28:04Joy.
28:05His memory of the attack was chilling.
28:08I started hearing the screams.
28:09So I went over there and the girl was on fire from the waist up.
28:12So what did you do?
28:14Well, first I looked and thought about what I could do to help put out the fire.
28:19Fortunately, there was a large mop bucket filled with dirty water.
28:22I grabbed it, threw it at her, and we put out all the flames.
28:26Fortunately, the man who helped was not injured.
28:29However, he was not the only person who intervened.
28:32And another spectator wasn't so lucky.
28:34Joy's coworker, whom we'll call Veronica here, was in the room.
28:40from the back when Joy burst into flames.
28:42Veronica tried to put out Joy's fire, but ended up catching fire herself in the process.
28:48Betty's reaction upon discovering that she had accidentally injured another person.
28:53This would contrast sharply with his attitude upon learning that Joy was fighting for her life.
28:58But first, Betty made another chilling comment moments after the detective left the room.
29:04I don't think the bitch is going to wake up.
29:33Can I cry?
29:36I am joking.
29:37I'm too young for that.
29:40I'm not ready to face a life sentence.
29:44I've never been the same since I was a child.
29:46Damn, it's better to turn off the lights.
29:52I have to quit drugs.
29:54I started using crack when I was 18.
29:56I'm 30 and I've been doing this every single day for 11 years.
29:59He's going to kill you all.
30:01I need to calm down a bit.
30:03She should be calm.
30:07I don't give a damn about you.
30:09What are you doing? It's nothing.
30:11I don't know who the hell this family is.
30:13I don't care at all right now.
30:14I don't mind.
30:16Damn, man!
30:19I'm angry.
30:22But I'll calm down.
30:23OK.
30:24That wasn't the only shocking aspect of Beth's hallucinations.
30:29Hey, man?
30:30Am I on camera?
30:32I really wanted to burn that black bitch.
30:34I wanted to burn it.
30:35She just sat there looking like an idiot.
30:37She saw me with the gasoline.
30:38Get out of the way.
30:39She just stood there looking like an idiot.
30:42Moving around and stuff.
30:42If anyone messes with me, I'll do this shit again.
30:45She can't just stand there crying, man.
30:47That would break my heart.
30:49I didn't want to involve her in this mess.
30:51Those people don't want to believe me and stuff.
30:54Those white people.
30:55But they don't care about me at all.
31:00I don't think I was in the store.
31:02She slipped away quietly.
31:05I think that bitch is still out there singing.
31:09Drug!
31:10That bitch's heart is broken.
31:12This should happen to that white bitch over at the store.
31:14I keep wondering what she's going to say.
31:17I know there's nothing to say.
31:19This is a place where I can live.
31:20Instead of being killed in the damned streets by one of those murderers.
31:25Besides me?
31:31Too many people?
31:37Oh, I'm not going to take medicine for anything.
31:40All of this was obviously worrying.
31:42But he paled at the disturbing questions Betty asked.
31:46when the police returned about two hours later.
31:49Let's go, everyone.
31:51Hey, sir.
31:52Okay, sir.
31:54All good?
31:54Yes sir.
31:55I am fine.
31:55Excellent.
31:56As soon as the officer sits down to talk to her again,
31:59Betty quickly changes the subject to something macabre.
32:03I was gone for 15 minutes, so it started burning.
32:05No.
32:06People helped her.
32:07They didn't let it burn.
32:09There was another woman in the store who also got burned.
32:11What?
32:11Because he tried to help her.
32:13Oh my God, is she dead?
32:14What breed is she?
32:14No, she didn't die.
32:16But she is white.
32:18Is this important?
32:20No, no, no.
32:21So someone tried to save her and got burned too?
32:23Yes, she got burned.
32:24Is she alive?
32:25She is.
32:26Is she in the hospital?
32:27This.
32:28Are the burns serious?
32:30Not a lot.
32:31OK.
32:32Veronica was also taken to the hospital for treatment, but her injuries were fine.
32:36less serious and she was able to go home the same day.
32:40So you caught me in the video.
32:41Did you see me throwing gasoline on her and stuff?
32:43Did they see me back there lighting the match?
32:45Yes, everything was recorded.
32:47Back there, throwing the match at the bitch?
32:48Yes.
32:55The camera in the back room captured the exact moment when Joy's coworker,
33:00Veronica realized what was happening and how she too had been burned when the fire...
33:05It jumped from Joy's clothes to her own.
33:07Do you think what you did was wrong?
33:10Man, well, my head isn't in a very good place.
33:12But does that bother you?
33:14Should I go to the news?
33:15I don't know.
33:16I don't control that.
33:18Do you want to be in the news?
33:20And the store?
33:21Did the store also catch fire?
33:22No, the store did not catch fire.
33:23OK.
33:24But is she alive?
33:25She is alive at the moment, but she is not well.
33:27Is she going to die?
33:29Probably.
33:30But what are the chances?
33:32I would say she has less than a 2% chance of surviving.
33:35Did her brain turn to mush?
33:37What?
33:37Did her brain turn to mush?
33:39Is she breathing on her own?
33:40No, she is not breathing on her own.
33:43How do you feel about that?
33:44Life support?
33:46Basically, yes.
33:47Is she black from being burned?
33:48It didn't burn until it turned black.
33:50That's not how burns work.
33:52He is sure?
33:53Because I think so.
33:54This was only the beginning of Beth's peculiar interest in the severity of her victim's injuries.
33:59Could I see her pictures or something?
34:02Why do you want to see photos?
34:03Because I don't know how she is.
34:05Why does this matter?
34:09You're not going to show me anything I've done?
34:11Like, no photos?
34:12Why do you want to see it?
34:13I don't know.
34:14Is she in the hospital or is she still in the burning store?
34:16No, she's in the hospital.
34:17They are trying to save your life.
34:19But did it burn until it was black?
34:21Because she is white.
34:22I killed a white woman.
34:23Yes, I know she is.
34:25I know she's white.
34:26But like, it's not that people get charred like that.
34:30It's as if their skin is peeling off.
34:33But did it turn kind of chocolate-colored?
34:35Or did it not burn to the point of forming scabs?
34:37Was that your goal?
34:38I don't know, sir.
34:39I just...
34:40And what about black women?
34:41Did she survive?
34:42She's not burned or anything, is she?
34:44No.
34:44But you ask a lot of questions about burns.
34:47I'm curious about the reason.
34:48Did you see her?
34:49Yes, I saw her.
34:50So you were there when...
34:52What happened when you went into the store?
34:54What does that mean?
34:56I want to know what happened when they saw her on fire.
34:59Why?
34:59Because it matters.
35:01I didn't see it burning.
35:02I only saw it after it burned.
35:04What was the state of the body?
35:05Her skin was peeling off.
35:07So she was just skin and bones, and all that?
35:10No no.
35:10Not the bone.
35:12We have several layers of skin.
35:14Why are you so excited about this?
35:17I'm not excited, sir.
35:18When Beth's barrage of questions showed no signs of abating, it fell to the detective.
35:23take the initiative to move forward.
35:25So here's the thing.
35:26Here's what's going to happen.
35:28You will be locked up in prison.
35:29The charge now is attempted premeditated murder.
35:33But if she dies, what could happen?
35:36Because she's not doing well.
35:37So if she dies, the charge will be upgraded to premeditated murder.
35:41Yes sir.
35:42Thanks.
35:42Thank you for the conversation.
35:43You're welcome.
35:44Have a good day, sir.
35:45Give your children a kiss.
35:46Kiss your children.
35:48Tell them you love them.
35:49Yes.
35:49Good luck.
35:50Good luck, sir.
35:54It took about 40 minutes before the police were ready to take Beth to jail.
35:59of the county.
36:00She spent that time exactly as before, talking to her hallucination.
36:05I probably left her whole body burnt to a crisp.
36:08You better get out of my face, bitch.
36:10Don't come here.
36:11Get out of my face.
36:13Don't come here.
36:15Drug.
36:15They're going to keep messing with me.
36:18It's fucking hot in here.
36:20Holy shit.
36:22Increase that temperature.
36:23I don't know how long they're going to make me wait.
36:25I hate waiting for those bastards.
36:31Hi, sir.
36:33Hello, ma'am.
36:34Ready to take me?
36:35Yes, we'll get you out of here.
36:36Okay, let's go.
36:37You look at me like I'm crazy.
36:40Pink is better than yellow.
36:42Yes, pink.
36:43They took the tablets and everything.
36:44Here we go.
36:45It's the first day of this shitty life.
36:47That's it, kid.
36:51There was a lot of evidence against Beth, but the legal proceedings were far from simple.
36:56To be considered competent to stand trial, one must demonstrate an understanding of the procedures.
37:02and that one can help in one's own defense.
37:05The court ruled that Beth did not meet those criteria until more than a year after the crime occurred.
37:11Against all odds, Joy survived.
37:14She underwent excruciating treatment for her burns over many months and had several surgeries.
37:22Her arduous recovery impacted not only her, but also her family, including the children she was raising as a single mother.
37:29Despite the reconstructive surgeries, she is expected to have permanent scars as a constant reminder of what she went through.
37:37When the case finally went to trial, Veronica, Joy, and their family made impactful statements about how their lives had changed.
37:45forever due to Beth's violence.
37:47On February 7, 2024, Beth pleaded no contest to the charge of attempted first-degree premeditated murder and
37:56She was sentenced to life imprisonment.
