00:00Hello, my daughter's not breathing.
00:02I like put my hand on her the most.
00:05My phone is for me now.
00:06Children don't just die.
00:07No.
00:08Whatever happened to her is wrong.
00:10It's that.
00:12Whether it was an overdose.
00:15Whether she suffocated.
00:18If she was shaken to death.
00:20Strangled.
00:21Whatever happened to her.
00:23We're gonna find out.
00:25I do not hurt my daughter.
00:26And you're not gonna sit here and tell me I did.
00:28When a two-year-old girl is found unresponsive,
00:32investigators must determine whether she suffered a heartbreaking accident
00:35or something far worse.
00:38But the horrifying truth emerges in text messages shared between a killer
00:42and the man accused of encouraging her to do the unthinkable.
00:51The following is based on official police records
00:54and the footage has never been seen before until now.
00:56Please note that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent
01:00unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
01:03On the early afternoon of November 7th, 2024,
01:07dispatchers in Sturgis Township, Michigan receive a phone call from a mother in distress.
01:11Central County 911, where is your emergency?
01:14Hello, my daughter's not breathing.
01:16Okay, we're getting everybody held that way.
01:18Just stay on the phone with me, okay?
01:20How old is your daughter?
01:21I am.
01:22She's three years old.
01:23Okay, are you right by her now?
01:25I am.
01:26Okay, listen carefully.
01:27I need you to lay her flat on her back, on the ground,
01:30and remove anything from underneath of her head,
01:34and kneel next to her and look in the mouth for any food or vomit, okay?
01:39Okay.
01:41Okay.
01:41Is there anything in the mouth?
01:44No.
01:45Okay, now place your hand on her forehead and your other hand on her neck,
01:49and I need you to carefully tilt her head back, okay?
01:52I can't even wake up.
01:54Okay, just stay with me, okay?
01:56There's a deputy that's right there.
01:58He knows how to do CPR, and he can help too,
02:00but I need you to start, but we need to do this for me, okay?
02:02Okay, so can you tilt her head back and then put your ear next to her mouth?
02:08Okay.
02:09Okay, can you feel or hear any breathing at all?
02:12No.
02:13Okay, so two breaths for me.
02:16Okay.
02:16Okay, did you feel the air going in and out?
02:20Yeah, I did.
02:21Yes, okay.
02:22There's an officer here now.
02:24A deputy with the St. Joseph Sheriff's Office races into the home
02:27and finds two-year-old Octavia Pearl Boney lying on the living room couch.
02:32He performs CPR until paramedics arrive.
02:35They're still working, but I had AD.
02:38It was no shock.
02:39Like, when I originally touched her, she felt warm.
02:41I mean, she was turning blue in lots of places, though,
02:43and I started doing CPR, and then, like,
02:46when I picked her up off the couch,
02:47where I was on the ground, I noticed her foot,
02:48like, her lower leg was cold,
02:50and she was starting to get, like, rid of mortise in her arm.
02:54The toddler's mother, 21-year-old Paige Nicole Boney,
02:57waits outside as paramedics work relentlessly to save her daughter's life.
03:01Press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press.
03:10Nearly 45 minutes pass as family and neighbors watch in stunned silence.
03:151337, Doc.
03:17Okay, 1337.
03:20Despite their best efforts, two-year-old Octavia is deceased.

09:14and is sold over the counter in products formulated for children.
09:18However, the Sleep Foundation notes that melatonin supplements
09:21are not recommended for children under 5 years of age.
09:44How often do you hear Paige disciplining Octavia?
09:48A few times a day, probably.
09:49Okay. What is it typically for?
09:51Usually telling her no or malving or being a kid.
09:55They do that at what she too.
09:57So how does Paige handle having to try and keep her in line when she's waking up?
10:02She lives her cool sometimes, but she just walks off.
10:05I mean, I've never seen nothing alarming.
10:07So what do you think happened?
10:11I wonder if she likes to lay on her stomach.
10:13And if I know that, I wonder if she like had her face down in a blanket or something.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Well, that's the only thing I can think of.
10:22If Paige is implying the toddler accidentally suffocated,
10:25the detective's next question points to a flaw in her logic.
10:29How many times has she slept on that couch?
10:31Several times.
10:32Several times? Because you guys have been there for a week and a half?
10:35Yeah, about a week and a half.
10:36And this is the only place that she's ever slept?
10:38Yeah.
10:38Okay. And she typically sleeps in that same way?
10:42Mm-hmm. Every night.
10:43Yeah, that's how she always slept.
10:44Yeah.
10:45Given that Octavia has slept safely on the same couch multiple times before,
10:49it seems unlikely she suddenly suffocated on it this morning.
10:53It's clear there's far more to the story than they're being led to believe.
10:57As the toddler's body is removed from the crime scene,
11:00her grandparents make a heartfelt plea.
11:03Can I kiss the dirty?
11:04Can I kiss the dirty?
11:05No, no. It's all right.
11:06It's safe, right?
11:08You're going to go for an autopsy?
11:11Once she's done with that, she'll be released back to the point of the day.
11:14Love you, baby girl.
11:16No, it's not bullshit.
11:17They can't see her.
11:18It's a bullshit grid.
11:19Yeah.
11:20There was nothing wrong with that child.
11:22Absolutely nothing.
11:23While investigators have yet to determine exactly what happened to Octavia,
11:28or who may be to blame,
11:29the child's grandfather shares deep concerns about Paige and her boyfriend.
11:34She was living in Battle Creek with a Fred Nelson seller.
11:37Oh, they're looking for him.
11:38It's our essence.
11:39They're looking for him.
11:40Yeah, I'm sure.
11:40No, they're looking for him.
11:41He's that.
11:42Yeah, well, they better find him before.
11:43That's her boyfriend.
11:44Yeah.
11:46Well, last night, supposedly, he picked her up and beat the daughter.
11:49Right, good.
11:50Came from one source, more than one source.
11:52Picked her up and beat the daughter.
11:55I'll tell you right now, neither one of them, my daughter or Fred,
11:58I won't cover for my daughter.
12:01She shouldn't have had a child.
12:04I love my daughter to best.
12:05And you know what?
12:06I'm very, very disappointed in her.
12:08They like choices.
12:09The toddler's grandparents weren't the only ones
12:11to express their concerns about Paige and Fred's parenting.
12:15Investigators learned after speaking with Octavia's Aunt Tabitha
12:18that Fred is not her biological father.
12:21My husband, we're divorced now.
12:23His stepbrother is dad.
12:26Okay.
12:27And what's his name?
12:28Thaddeus.
12:28He's never been that kid in his life.
12:30Okay.
12:30We've had Octavia's, and she's been two, three months old,
12:35and we've tried multiple times getting Paige to give her over to us.
12:41She never would.
12:43She's lived with us 90% of the time her whole life.
12:48She has?
12:49Yeah.
12:49Okay.
12:50Why was that?
12:51Because Paige doesn't take care of her.
12:53Paige doesn't take care of her other kid either.
12:54She doesn't have her other kid either.
12:56We've raised our grandson because my daughter didn't want to.
13:02No.
13:03Which we just should have kept her too.
13:05I shouldn't say that.
13:07Not a little baby, but.
13:09So full of spirit.
13:10Perfectly healthy and smart.
13:12Whatever happened here is wrong.
13:14Flat.
13:15So would you consider Paige a good mom?
13:18No.
13:19Okay.
13:19Like, I just talked to the mom, Paige's mom today before I left.
13:24She says, I'm sorry I love my daughter to death, but she's not a mom.
13:26That's why we have a mom, which is her other son, Paige's son.
13:30What would you tell someone who said that you would say that you're a terrible mother?
13:35Oh my goodness.
13:36Why is that?
13:37Because it's none of their business.
13:39I take care of my kids that they're supposed to be taken care of.
13:42They shouldn't worry about their own parenting.
13:44When Chris was asked about Paige's parenting, he gave the detective an interesting response.
13:50What type of a parent would you consider her to be?
13:56She left your phone.
13:58She left your phone.
14:00Did you pay attention to your daughter at all?
14:01Yes, I pay attention to her.
14:03You do?
14:04Every time we would get active, she'd have blistering diaper rashes.
14:09Like, bleeding diaper rashes.
14:11Doesn't have shoes.
14:12Doesn't have pants.
14:13She's small.
14:14She's tiny for being two years old.
14:16I don't, she acts like she, when she comes to us, she acts like she's not, like, doesn't eat, right?
14:21Because when she eats, like, for us, she eats, she doesn't ever stop eating.
14:24So we have to, like, cut her off eventually, because if not, she won't ever stop eating.
14:29She would get cold sores on her lip, like, cold sores.
14:32And I was like, I've never, I've had five kids, I've never seen my kids have sores like that on
14:36her lips.
14:37While these concerns paint a deeply disturbing picture, they do little to explain what happened to Octavia.
14:43As Paige's interview continues, the detective pushes her to be honest, turning her own words against her.
15:18Kids just don't die.
15:19And you're going to tell us that nothing happened, it's going to be a different story.
15:26I'm not saying anything didn't happen.
15:28I'm saying we're trying to figure out what happened to her.
15:31So what did happen?
15:32But given the chance to revise her story, Paige simply repeats that Octavia was lying on her stomach and must
15:38have tucked her head into her blanket.
15:40So do you think she suffocated?
15:42I, that's the only thing I can think of.
15:45Did you suffocate her?
15:47No.
15:48I have to ask.
15:50I won't do that to my kid.
15:55I love that little girl.
15:57Then why would you hurt her?
15:58I didn't hurt her.
16:00Someone hurt her.
16:02I did not hurt my daughter, and you're not going to sit here and tell me I did.
16:07This s*** is dumb.
16:09Like, why would I lie?
16:10No, it's not dumb.
16:11It's very suspicious.
16:12It is dumb.
16:12Lies are dumb.
16:13What happened to your daughter?
16:16What happened to her?
16:18Children don't just die.
16:20No.
16:21Right.
16:21So tell me what happened.
16:22With no answers from Paige, the detective presents a theory of his own.
16:27Did you give her a little bit too much melatonin?
16:29No, she only gets to me every night.
16:31And if she woke up today, and you wanted her to go back to sleep?
16:35I didn't give her any.
16:36And she wouldn't.
16:37She said no.
16:39I didn't give her any melatonin today.
16:42Because part of the autopsy is toxicology.
16:45I understand.
16:46And they're going to find out what's in her stomach, and they're going to find out what happened.
16:51I know.
16:51Yeah.
16:53Whether it was an overdose.
16:57Whether she suffocated.
17:00If she was shaken to death.
17:03Strangled.
17:04Whatever.
17:05Whatever happened to her, we're going to find out.
17:08Meanwhile, Octavia's Aunt Tabitha shares her own theory.
17:12Someone either hurt her or she got into drugs.
17:14Does Paige use drugs?
17:16I know she, like, smokes weed.
17:17Other than that, I don't know.
17:19The most happiest, like, obviously being under, taken care of by the people she lives with.
17:25She was the happiest little girl.
17:27And she'd always smile, always happy, no matter what.
17:30But I don't, I don't understand how, why somebody could do this.
17:35Paige's family shared similar sentiments.
17:37I mean, I wish you could have seen a smile.
17:40Right.
17:40Because that's the first thing I thought of as soon as they told me.
17:42Yeah.
17:44That smile lit up every room she went to.
17:47And she was never an unhappy baby.
17:49Right.
17:49No, and she ate so much food.
17:52All she did was eat.
17:53I mean, she was the happiest thing in the world.
18:02But exactly what happened to her is still up to Paige to explain.
18:06And what she admits next is downright chilling.
18:09I did hold her down for a minute just so she would stay still.
18:13It wasn't for very long.
18:16I just wanted her to go to sleep.
18:19As horrifying as this admission may be,
18:21it offers only a glimpse of the nightmare investigators would later piece together
18:25about Octavia's final moments.
18:28Are you really ready to tell me what, like the real story now?
18:33Yeah.
18:34Okay.
18:34Like from the beginning?
18:37And then she woke up and stayed there and watched her TV for a little bit.
18:42And then when she started crying,
18:44I just made her lay down and held it every second.
18:48And I thought it would be fine.
18:52I held her like right here and like,
18:56like right here.
18:58Okay.
18:59Just so she would lay down and stop moving so she would go to sleep.
19:02So if, obviously this is not her size,
19:06but if this was her back and her head is here,
19:09show me what you're talking about.
19:12Her head here?
19:13Yeah.
19:13Okay.
19:14Okay.
19:14So like right like this.
19:17Okay.
19:18So you were just basically like,
19:20this is her neck and her upper back?
19:22Yeah.
19:22Just like holding her down.
19:23Just holding her down?
19:24So she would go to sleep.
19:26Okay.
19:26And then?
19:27Because she likes to kick around and stuff when she's going to sleep
19:30and not wanting to kick herself off the damn couch.
19:32Sure.
19:33Okay.
19:35And do you think that it was about a minute that you held her like that?
19:38Yeah, not even that.
19:40Okay.
19:41And what was happening at that time that you were doing that to her?
19:45She was just still crying like she always was.
19:49And then at what point did she stop crying?
19:52Um,
19:55it was like,
19:56it was like not long before I let go.
19:59Maybe like,
20:02like 5-10 seconds.
20:04Did you try to wake her up?
20:07No,
20:08because I thought she was just sleeping.
20:10The detective takes a break,
20:11stepping out to contact the technicians
20:13that are still collecting evidence at the crime scene.
20:15What they tell him adds a chilling new layer to Paige's story.
20:19There's more that happened
20:21than what you told me.
20:24Okay.
20:25Um,
20:26because I just got off the phone
20:28with some of my evidence technicians.
20:30at the house.
20:32And,
20:33they told me about some things
20:34that I'm very concerned about.
20:37Um,
20:37things that you forgot maybe to tell me?
20:40About maybe,
20:41um,
20:42that happened to you?
20:43What do you mean?
20:45Like,
20:45did you throw her?
20:47No,
20:47I would never throw her.
20:48Did you push her?
20:50No,
20:50I didn't push her.
20:51Alright,
20:51well there's something that happened to her
20:53that caused a
20:55dent in drywall
20:57that has her hair in it.
20:59What?
20:59Yeah.
21:01Photographs reveal the hole
21:02found in the living room wall,
21:03partially obscured by a vacuum cleaner,
21:06which was the same approximate height
21:07as two-year-old Octavia.
21:09According to police records,
21:11a white substance was also found
21:13in the toddler's hair,
21:14which could have been drywall.
21:16What do you mean drywall?
21:18Like,
21:18whatever,
21:18whatever this wall is made of,
21:20whatever the wall
21:21that you have in,
21:23in that trailer,
21:25there's a,
21:25there's a dent
21:26from a child's head
21:29with her hair
21:30still in the dent.
21:33Her face
21:34is
21:34bruised.
21:36I didn't hit her
21:37on the wall.
21:38Then tell me what happened.
21:40I did tell you.
21:42But how,
21:43how did,
21:44how do you explain that?
21:45I did not
21:46hit her face
21:47on the wall.
21:48Did she hit it herself?
21:50She could have.
21:52She had fallen off the couch
21:53that morning.
21:54Like I said,
21:55she's always rolling off.
21:56So she did fall off the couch
21:57that morning?
21:58She fell off the couch.
21:59Okay.
22:00Falling from the couch,
22:01however,
22:01wouldn't explain
22:02the three foot tall
22:03crack in the living room wall.
22:05Despite the mounting evidence,
22:06Paige refuses
22:07to explain what happened,
22:08leaving the detective
22:09with no choice
22:10but to wait
22:11for the toddler's autopsy.
22:13I'm going to tell you
22:13right now
22:14that you're under arrest
22:15for,
22:16for the murder
22:17of your daughter.
22:18I didn't murder her.
22:19Okay.
22:20Well,
22:20she is,
22:20it's manslaughter.
22:22Okay.
22:22So she died
22:23because of what happened.
22:26Okay.
22:28Go ahead and stand up.
22:30Can I call somebody?
22:32As soon as you get back
22:33to the jail,
22:34I'll give you all that stuff.
22:36Investigators
22:37seize Paige's phone
22:38and contact her boyfriend,
22:40Fred,
22:40for the passcode.
22:41He agrees
22:42to try to get it from Paige
22:44and the two speak
22:44in a recorded jail call.
22:46According to police records,
22:48Fred asked her
22:49during this call
22:50if she deleted
22:50the messages between them,
22:52mentioning one particular message
22:54that might not look good.
22:56She shares her passcode
22:57during the call
22:58which investigators
22:59used to unlock her phone.
23:00What they find
23:02is unspeakable.
23:04Nine months later,
23:05on August 15th,
23:062025,
23:07Paige is re-interviewed
23:08under a proffer agreement,
23:10which allows a suspect
23:11to provide information
23:12to investigators
23:13with limited protections,
23:15often in hopes
23:16of leniency
23:17or a plea deal.
23:18During this interview,
23:20the detective
23:20confronts Paige
23:21with the discoveries.
23:22At 8.59,
23:24Fred asks you,
23:26W-Y-D,
23:28right,
23:28what you doing?
23:30You said,
23:31trying to sleep,
23:33but I can't
23:33because of her.
23:35Then you say,
23:36I'm a f***er up.
23:37I'm a piss bro.
23:38I'm a f***ing herter.
23:41Then you say,
23:42I'm done with this.
23:44Fred responds,
23:45do it,
23:46beat her.
23:47You say,
23:48I did.
23:50And even prior to that,
23:52there's a recording
23:53that you made
23:53of her crying.
23:55The recording,
23:55which she sent to Fred
23:56at 6.17 a.m.
23:58on the morning
23:58of Octavia's death,
24:00is beyond heartbreaking.
24:11Honestly,
24:12when he told me
24:13to do that,
24:14I just,
24:15our relationship
24:16was kind of rocky.
24:16he would threaten
24:17to hit me upside the head
24:18with alcohol bottles
24:19and all sorts of stuff.
24:22So,
24:22I just lied
24:23and said I did,
24:24otherwise it would,
24:26yeah.
24:27It's okay.
24:28I'm going to stop
24:29for a second.
24:30Jordan,
24:30your client understands
24:32that
24:32if she's not truthful
24:35in her testimony,
24:36then this deal
24:38is completely gone.
24:40There's the potential
24:41for trial
24:43and conviction
24:44and more serious charges.
24:47give me a few minutes
24:48to talk to her
24:49about,
24:50if I could,
24:51yeah.
24:52When the interview resumes,
24:53the detective continues
24:54reading the text messages aloud.
24:56So,
24:57at 6.02 in the morning,
24:59on November 7th of 24,
25:03he texts,
25:05she sleep?
25:06And you say,
25:07no,
25:07she keeps on trying
25:08to get out.
25:09When I tell her
25:10to go to sleep,
25:11she just cries.
25:13He says,
25:15stupid,
25:17is the cover
25:18still over her?
25:21Yeah.
25:22And this is you.
25:23Yeah,
25:23she keeps taking it off,
25:25too,
25:25every time I put it back
25:27over her.
25:28Done.
25:28she cries loud
25:29as a...
25:34Fred says,
25:35put something
25:35in her mouth.
25:36You say,
25:37okay.
25:38Did you put anything
25:39in her mouth?
25:40No.
25:41Okay.
25:41And then he says,
25:43and put the cover
25:44in the couch tight.
25:46I didn't do that either.
25:48Okay.
25:49So this,
25:51I mean,
25:51again,
25:51we're just starting
25:52out with this conversation,
25:53but this is happening
25:54at,
25:55again,
25:55starting at 6.02
25:56in the morning.
25:57So shortly after
25:58you said he left
25:59for work,
26:00this is the conversation
26:02that you're having.
26:03These type of messages,
26:04is that something
26:05that would,
26:06would be typical
26:07between the two of you?
26:09For him.
26:10Okay.
26:11What do you mean by that?
26:12He was just
26:14aggressive
26:14toward both of us.
26:16The detective ignores
26:17Paige's claim,
26:19not allowing her
26:19any control
26:20over the interview.
26:21Instead,
26:22he focuses on one
26:23particularly concerning message.
26:25So,
26:26after he says,
26:27and put the cover
26:28in the couch tight,
26:29or I'm sorry,
26:30he says,
26:30and give her
26:31two of them things
26:32so she can be out soon.
26:35And then you say,
26:36I did,
26:37and okay.
26:39What was it
26:40that
26:41he was telling you
26:42to give to her?
26:43He was talking
26:44about melatonin,
26:45but I lied
26:45and said I did
26:46because if I didn't,
26:47he would freak out.
26:49Okay.
26:50He says,
26:52let me know.
26:52I love you.
26:53Get some rest.
26:55And then you respond,
26:56can't because
26:57won't shut up.
26:59According to Octavia's
27:00autopsy report,
27:01the two-year-old
27:02had a high level
27:03of melatonin
27:03in her system.
27:04But as Paige
27:05continued texting Fred,
27:07sending TikTok videos
27:08she found
27:09while scrolling,
27:09she kept returning
27:11to the same frustration.
27:12The toddler
27:13would not fall asleep.
27:14And then
27:16you say,
27:17this is her
27:17right now,
27:18by the way.
27:18And this is where
27:19you have that recording
27:21of her crying.
27:23And just to clarify,
27:24when you say,
27:25this is her,
27:27who are you talking about?
27:28You're talking about
27:29her.
27:32And then he says,
27:33man,
27:33beat her
27:34face in the couch
27:38or wrap her up
27:39in that big cover.
27:41I put something
27:42in her mouth,
27:44FRFR.
27:45And then he says,
27:46if I was there,
27:47I'd be her up.
27:49FRFR.
27:51Detectives would later
27:52question Fred
27:52about these text messages.
27:54According to a summary
27:55of his interview,
27:56Fred wrote off
27:57the messages
27:57claiming it was,
27:58quote,
27:58all a figure of speech
28:00and explained that
28:01what he was actually
28:02encouraging Paige
28:03to do was swaddle Octavia
28:04in the blanket
28:05like a newborn baby.
28:06His messages to Paige
28:08were deleted
28:08from his phone,
28:09which he told investigators
28:11was not intentional.
28:12I ain't dealing with
28:13no one.
28:14I got enough
28:15going on in my head.
28:16I wish someone
28:16would give me a reason
28:17to let my anger out.
28:20You remember saying that?
28:21No.
28:22Yeah.
28:22According to police records,
28:24bloodstains were found
28:25on multiple pillows,
28:26as well as both couches
28:28in the living room.
28:29In one text message,
28:30Paige wrote,
28:31she keeps making
28:32her nose bleed
28:32because she want
28:33to keep moving around
28:34shoving her face
28:35in the couch.
28:36She's obviously
28:37retarded.
28:38This goes on for hours,
28:40this conversation
28:41you have with Fred
28:42back and forth.
28:43With me reading
28:44this to you,
28:45is it starting to spark
28:47a little bit of your memory?
28:48No.
28:49Okay.
28:49Though she doesn't
28:50seem to remember,
28:51the detective reads
28:52one message aloud
28:53that no one in the room
28:54is likely to forget.
28:56I'm a f***er up.
28:57I'm a piss pro.
28:57I'm a f***er.
28:58I'm a f***er.
28:59I'm a f***er.
28:59I'm done with it.
29:00He says,
29:00do it,
29:01beat her.
29:02And then you say,
29:03I did.
29:04I did.
29:05But Octavia's autopsy
29:07tells a different story.
29:08According to the medical
29:10examiner's report,
29:11the toddler had bruising
29:12and marks on the right
29:13side of her face
29:14and ear.
29:14There were also marks
29:15on her neck
29:16consistent with force
29:17being applied to it.
29:19The two-year-old's
29:20cause of death
29:20was officially ruled
29:21to be mechanical
29:22asphyxiation
29:23and smothering.
29:24Paige's dark brown hair
29:26was found clutched
29:27tightly in the young
29:28girl's hand.
29:28Still,
29:29Paige refuses to admit
29:31what she's done,
29:32forcing the detective
29:33to end the interview.
29:34Two months later,
29:36she returns to read
29:36a written statement
29:37that promises to shed
29:38more light on the
29:39morning of Octavia's
29:40murder,
29:41but it opens with a
29:42revelation about her
29:43now ex-boyfriend,
29:44Fred.
29:45There was a time
29:46in our apartment
29:48we were having intercourse
29:52and I asked him to stop
29:54and he wouldn't
29:55and he told me to
29:55shut the f*** up
29:56and stop moving
29:57and just continued on.
29:59We got in an argument
30:01one night,
30:01he woke up because of it,
30:03I got her back to sleep,
30:04but he was shaking me
30:04around in the bathroom
30:05trying to get my phone
30:06and my vape
30:07because he was drunk
30:08and I don't know
30:10what he thought
30:11accusing me of cheating,
30:13which I was not.
30:15My mom told me
30:16there was bruising
30:16on her face
30:17at the funeral
30:18and my memory
30:19was to block it out
30:20because I remember
30:21him hitting her
30:21in the mouth
30:22that morning
30:22and I asked him
30:23to stop,
30:23but he wouldn't
30:24he wouldn't listen.
30:26How was he hitting her?
30:27In the mouth.
30:29Open hand,
30:30closed hand?
30:30Open.
30:31Open hand.
30:32Did you see him do that?
30:34Yeah,
30:34and I asked him to stop,
30:35but he wouldn't listen.
30:37During his interview,
30:38Fred denied striking
30:39the child in the mouth
30:40before leaving for work
30:41that morning
30:42or at any other point
30:43in time.
30:44Who else was around
30:45to see that?
30:46Just me.
30:47And you don't know
30:48why all of a sudden
30:49you want to bring that up?
30:51I didn't remember
30:52until just recently.
30:53The detective
30:54doesn't justify this
30:55with a response
30:56of any kind.
30:57He's aggressive
30:58and emotionally
31:00and mentally abusive.
31:01He's threatened to have you
31:02with alcohol bottles
31:03and I'm scared of him.
31:07Is that it?
31:11And I did not
31:12do anything
31:13in the text
31:14that he said
31:14that morning.
31:15I just lied
31:16because of
31:17I know how he is
31:18and his aggression
31:19and I didn't want
31:21to deal with that anymore.
31:22And when we were
31:23living in Battle Creek,
31:25I ended up pregnant
31:26by him.
31:27I had an abortion
31:28because I didn't want
31:29to put a kid
31:30through any of that.
31:33Okay, so
31:35you were scared of him
31:37and that's why
31:39when he was telling you
31:40to do certain things
31:41through text messages,
31:43you responded
31:44that you did do those things
31:45but you really didn't.
31:47No.
31:47And you told him that
31:48because you were scared
31:49of what he might do to you.
31:53The detective
31:54reminds Paige
31:55that she already admitted
31:56to holding her daughter
31:57down by the neck
31:57in her first interview.
31:59I didn't do
32:00what I said
32:00in my statement.
32:01that night.
32:02I don't know why
32:02I said that.
32:03I was not
32:04in a right state
32:06of mind
32:06at all.
32:08But Paige,
32:10what you told me
32:11you did happened
32:12because that's how
32:13you died.
32:14That's how it was
32:15proven in the autopsy.
32:17So we know
32:18that happened.
32:18We don't get to dance
32:19around that anymore.
32:21If you can come here
32:22today and say,
32:23oh, you remember
32:24that Fred did this
32:26or told you that
32:28but you can't remember
32:30what you did
32:31because I did it.
32:35I've got no other
32:36questions.
32:37You don't believe me
32:38that's all right
32:39because God knows.
32:40According to court documents,
32:42in July of 2025,
32:44Paige Nicole Boni
32:45accepted a plea deal
32:46pleading no contest
