00:00I ran her over and she didn't stop. She just came over.
00:04And I looked in the rear view and I seen her go over top of the bag.
00:07I didn't know what to do, dude. I was trying to push her little buddy back in.
00:10She ain't always right in the head, so she is dangerous.
00:13You knew what had happened.
00:14No, sir, I didn't. I didn't even know.
00:21Officers respond to a heartbreaking report of a young child that has just been run over by a car and
00:26left for dead.
00:27The driver is nowhere to be found, sparking an investigation that leads them to a suspect with a shocking connection
00:33to the victim.
00:34The following is based on official police records, and the footage has never been seen before until now.
00:46On June 16, 2023, police are called to a harrowing scene at a Motel 6 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, on reports
00:53of a hit and run.
00:54The victim, 18-month-old Eleanor Campbell, lies unconscious in the grass as law enforcement arrives.
01:01But the driver is nowhere in sight.
01:03I'm trying to get her out of here.
01:10I'm trying to get her out of here.
01:13Hurry!
01:14This is my daughter, dude!
01:18Oh, Jesus.
01:20Nothing.
01:23I'm going to get her out of here.
01:27I need you all to play!
01:29I need you all to play!
01:29I need you all to play!
01:30Where's Gabe?
01:31You need something?
01:32AAD!
01:32AAD something!
01:34What?
01:35Let's get this over.
01:36You're already here!
01:37I think you're a car, I'm fine.
01:38Is she still breathing?
01:40Is she still breathing?
01:41Is she still breathing?
01:42Guys, somebody answered me!
01:44We're working on her!
01:45Oh, dude!
01:47She's my baby, dude!
01:48I got the rest of the house.
01:50Sir, do you have your ID so I can log you as a dad?
01:54No, I don't!
01:55I don't know where it's at, but yeah!
01:57Okay, okay, okay.
01:58Okay, okay.
02:00Let's go, baby!
02:01Let's go, baby!
02:01Let's go, baby!
02:02Let's go, baby!
02:02Let's go, baby!
02:03Let's go, baby!
02:04Let's go, baby!
02:05Let's go, baby!
02:13She's an sinner!
02:14She may have to stay inside as officers and paramedics desperately try to save their
02:17little girl, but Eleanor is still unresponsive.
02:20However, after having just witnessed a mother's worst nightmare, Cheyenne recalls one chilling
02:25detail.
02:27Is she gonna?
02:28Hurry up her head, directly on top of first hand.
02:30What's her grandmother?
02:31She's laying over her, she's almost straight.
02:33We're losing Grandma!
02:34Moves her grandma!
02:35She's wearing grandma, you're insane!
02:39Cheyenne is referring to 51-year-old Lisa Tesh, Zach's mother, and the victim's grandmother.
02:45This raises a troubling yet necessary question.
02:48Was this a tragic accident or something far worse?
02:52Are you serious, please?
02:54No, stop.
02:55It's the AED.
02:56Dude, it's okay.
02:57Man, I don't care what you say.
02:58That is my daughter, bro.
03:00My daughter's the same age.
03:00That is my daughter.
03:01My daughter's the same age.
03:02I feel you.
03:02We're working on it.
03:04Paramedics continue with compressions as they make their way to Norton's Children's Hospital,
03:08but they're quickly running out of time.
03:10Back at the scene, officers receive word that a white trailblazer had run the child over
03:15before frantically speeding off.
03:17They trace the vehicle back to none other than Lisa Tesh.
03:20Police immediately launch a statewide manhunt for the woman and question her son, Zach,
03:25whose account begins to reveal the unsettling truth about his mother.
03:29What's crazy is, man, is she's seen her.
03:34She's what?
03:35She's seen her.
03:36You say she saw your daughter.
03:39Yeah.
03:39Where was Lisa when you're talking about her?
03:41She was sitting in the trailblazer with some guy.
03:45And here she's holding it on the road.
03:47Like, she hollered for her.
03:49And, you know, we thought she was going to stay in park.
03:55What did she do?
03:56Did you know she did her?
03:57She got out of the car and looked at her real hard.
04:01Here?
04:03Yes.
04:04Got out of the car and looked at her, bro.
04:07Got back in the car real quick.
04:08I didn't know what to do, dude.
04:10I was trying to push her little buddy back in.
04:12I kept yelling at the long stop, stop.
04:15We were trying to chase after her.
04:19The mother kept driving, dude.
04:21So what do I do now?
04:24You know, I've got two little babies.
04:26It's going to be asking where their sister is.
04:29The whole reason we are here is because my mom, she stole our birth certificate, so social security cards.
04:36You're talking about Lisa here?
04:37Yeah.
04:49The situation is about to take another unexpected turn, as officers inform Zach that he has a warrant out for
04:55his arrest.
04:56According to the officers, Zach failed to appear at his court date for two counts of domestic battery.
05:01Well, by law, we are commanded by the court system and the judge to file that warrant.
05:08I'm sorry, you have to go with this.
05:10So I'll show it to you if you just want to stand up real quick, and I'll try to explain
05:12everything to you that I can.
05:15I'll let you do that here in a second.
05:16Just stand up real quick.
05:17Face that way.
05:18Put your hands behind your back.
05:20You just put your hands behind your back, bro.
05:21Let's go.
05:22That's good.
05:22That's good.
05:26They'll let you call somebody down there that have a phone down there.
05:29Is that a word?
05:30All right, let's walk over to my car, and then I'm going to go through your pocket.
05:34I don't know her number.
05:37Okay, that's fine.
05:38If he has it, I can write it down for you.
05:41Let's go back over here to my car.
05:43Can I get him a...
05:44That's fine, yeah.
05:45Go ahead.
05:46Keep your head up, son.
05:47Just keep your temper down and don't get in no more trouble, okay?
05:50I didn't mean to do anything.
05:51No, I didn't know, but I know how you are.
05:53I just lost my daughter.
05:55I get that, and I completely sympathize with you.
05:58I love y'all, man.
06:00I love y'all.
06:00Sit back.
06:01I said I love y'all.
06:02Meanwhile, Eleanor's mother recalls the harrowing details of the ordeal as she is driven to the hospital.
06:10Harrowing.
06:11And she didn't stop.
06:12She just kept on.
06:14She called for her to come to her car, and then she took off.
06:19She ran over when I'm back tired.
06:24I can see her crying.
06:27She knew she ran over, and she just kept going.
06:31I know it is.
06:32She's going to run from him.
06:34She's going to run.
06:36Sadly, baby Eleanor did not survive.
06:39After an extensive, weeks-long search by law enforcement, Lisa is found and brought in for questioning on July 13,
06:462023, where investigators finally hear her account of what happened on that tragic day.
06:52Lisa states that Zach needed money to stay another night at the Motel 6, and had asked his mother for
06:57the funds.
06:58She drove over to the motel with a friend and handed the money to Zach.
07:02Zach, it was soon after that the unthinkable happened.
07:05Zach came out to get the rest of the money.
07:09I didn't know my baby was under my car.
07:12I didn't know.
07:13I didn't know.
07:15I'll just tell you this.
07:16I watched the camera footage of it, and I truly believe that you did not.
07:23I didn't know.
07:25I don't think that you did.
07:27No.
07:27Maybe Eleanor walked out in front of your car.
07:30She was in front of it.
07:32I'm sorry?
07:33She was in front of it.
07:35The video kind of fell in.
07:36I was told that she was under my car.
07:39Okay.
07:39Although Lisa claims to be unaware of what really happened, there was someone else in that car who will eventually
07:45give a completely different account.
07:47Meanwhile, the detective patiently continues explaining what is shown on the motel's surveillance footage.
07:52You were pulled in facing your son's motel room, right?
07:57I don't even remember now.
07:59Okay.
08:00When you were pulled in, it looked like baby Eleanor come out of the side of the apartment there, coming
08:06to the frame.
08:07And as you were backing out of your parking spot, it looked like she was kind of on your driver's
08:14side and you moved towards the front of the vehicle.
08:18And of course, you went to pull out of the car in the parking spot, okay?
08:23And that's when baby girl was struck, okay?
08:27Whenever you went to put the car and drive in front of the vehicle, did you feel that you'd ran
08:34something over?
08:35Oh.
08:36Because in the video, I could see the car kind of shake back and forth.
08:39It's like it's a happy one over or something.
08:42Did you feel anything?
08:49What the grandmother doesn't know is that law enforcement has already spoken with her friend, Billy, the man sitting right
08:55beside her during the incident.
08:57He states that he would sometimes help Lisa in driving to pick up free items listed on platforms, such as
09:03Facebook.
09:03The pair was supposed to do just that, but Lisa reportedly told Billy that they needed to stop at the
09:09motel first so she could give money to her son.
09:12She started walking back in and the door opened at the room where they were staying there.
09:16There was a little girl and I don't know if there was another kid or not, I can't remember, and
09:19the woman was staying there, I guess it was the mom.
09:22And she got in, you know, and he's talking right here for a minute to her.
09:26And she puts it in gear, she starts to ease off, you know, starts to take off a little bit.
09:30And so the woman goes, stop, stop, like that.
09:33And I could barely hear her because the radio was on.
09:35What woman was that?
09:36That's the mom of the baby.
09:38Okay.
09:38And I looked over like this.
09:40And when I did, she was, you know, like coming, acting like she was coming towards the truck real quick
09:44and saying, stop, stop.
09:46And I looked in the rear view and I seen her go over the top of the baby.
09:49And she said, and she stopped like this and she looked at her and everything.
09:53I was like, I was in shock, you know, I never seen nothing like it, not on a baby.
09:56And I was like, and she just took off, you know, and I was like, what are you doing?
10:01Stop, stop, you know.
10:02Did she get out of the car?
10:04No.
10:05But she's seen, I guess, I don't know how she knew.
10:09I can't remember exactly if she got out of the car or not.
10:11I'll be all the way honest.
10:12I don't know.
10:13I don't think she did because I think she just sped off.
10:16According to Billy, Lisa never let her foot off the gas.
10:19He remembers her speeding down the expressway toward Louisville, Kentucky,
10:23trying to get as far away as possible from the crime scene.
10:26What was he doing to you?
10:28He told me Cheyenne wanted me.
10:31Cheyenne wanted you?
10:32Yeah.
10:33Was she hollering for you?
10:34I don't know what she was hollering.
10:36Okay.
10:37And then you got out of the car?
10:39Did you get out of the car to see what Cheyenne wanted?
10:43I don't really remember.
10:45Okay.
10:48I can try to refresh you.
10:50Like I said, I've had to watch you.
10:51I don't want to know.
10:52Okay.
10:52I don't want to know.
10:53Please.
10:54Although Lisa is unable to recall certain aspects of the incident,
10:58the detective is quick to reveal the cold, hard evidence.
11:01In the camera footage, I see you exit the vehicle, right?
11:06Mm-hmm.
11:06You walk towards the river.
11:09At that point, have you seen what had happened?
11:11No.
11:12Did you see your son or anything?
11:15Maybe you don't know her?
11:17No, I just saw Cheyenne.
11:19Was she up by the hotel door or was she at?
11:22She was on the ground.
11:26Okay.
11:27Just like, what was her?
11:29She was just screaming.
11:30Screaming?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Okay.
11:32I didn't even know.
11:37Once again, Billy's side of the story paints a very different picture.
11:41So in my book, it's a heartless and no good person.
11:45She knew she had the baby, though, right?
11:47Right.
11:47She did know that, yes.
11:49Because that's when she said, oh, my God.
11:50Oh, my God.
11:51And just went in total hysterics and sped off.
11:54You know, and I'm thinking, that's your grandbaby.
11:56She's my baby.
11:56My baby.
11:57My baby.
11:57You know, and just hysterics.
11:59So by her saying the word baby, she knew.
12:03She knew she.
12:04She knew she ran over the back, yes.
12:06The detective shifts to another critical question.
12:08But Lisa's answer doesn't align with what Billy has already told investigators.
12:13When you left, was you scared for any reason?
12:15Did you think you had a warrant?
12:17Was you scared you was impaired and shouldn't be driving?
12:21What reason made you leave the hotel?
12:23If you heard her hollering and the commotion was going on.
12:27I knew I had a warrant for Grayson County, but Billy was showing at me.
12:32The whole time I'm trying to tell her to stop, and I was like, why wouldn't you stop?
12:35Like, she said, I've got a warrant.
12:37Well, I wouldn't have cared if I had 50 warrants, man.
12:38If I had just went over my grandbaby, I'd be stopping.
12:41You know what I mean?
12:42One of the detectives seems unconvinced of Lisa's story, and the interrogation quickly
12:46grows more intense.
12:48This is so much punishment.
12:54I'm with this every day.
12:57You obviously care about Eleanor, correct?
12:59Yes, that was my baby.
13:00Then sit here and be truthful with me.
13:01I am.
13:02Don't tell me I'm lying to you about my baby.
13:05You had no clue that something happened in the parking lot.
13:08No, no.
13:09But the motel surveillance appears to contradict her statements.
13:13When you walk to the rear here, you're looking back.
13:17Shortly after this frame, when you walk back here and stop, you are still right here in
13:23this frame, and this is just where we're trying to get some clarity.
13:26Your son is over here off frame with Eleanor.
13:31And shortly, right after this moment, right here on this camera, you're still standing back
13:36here facing backwards.
13:38Your son runs across here holding Eleanor in his hands, in his arms, and he places her
13:46down here.
13:46Now, as the places are down here, you start to turn and get back inside the vehicle, and
13:53the rates of speed that you were traveling, exiting the parking spot to make their car
13:59come this way in the parking lot, versus after you get back in his driver's seat and
14:04take off, there is a difference.
14:08There is an obvious acceleration of the vehicle moving this way in the parking lot.
14:13Lisa's story is full of holes, but according to Billy, this isn't the first time she's
14:18displayed this type of behavior.
14:20I mean, is she street smart, or is she...
14:22She's pretty street smart, yeah.
14:23So she knows the game?
14:25Yeah.
14:25She knows how to hide and all that, trust me.
14:28You ever heard her threaten anybody?
14:30No.
14:31On the phone, I heard her one time tell the person we didn't get her money, you know,
14:34but not that she didn't kill him or nothing.
14:35She said, it'll be bad for you.
14:37You know, she don't...
14:38She is street smart, she is.
14:40She ain't always right in the head, so she is dangerous.
14:43Billy goes on to allege that Lisa may have taken the life of her ex-husband, who apparently
14:48robbed her while she was serving time in jail.
14:50However, there appears to be no official record of an investigation.
14:54As the interrogation comes to an end, the detectives provide Lisa with one last opportunity
14:59to tell the truth.
15:00I don't want you to leave, or us to leave, and you say, you know what?
15:04I should have just told them the truth.
15:06I'm telling you the truth.
15:08Lisa, we're going to be out of here in a couple minutes, and like I said, we're not
15:11here to hammer you, we're not here to...
15:12Hey, I'm not talking to him, because I'm telling you the truth.
15:15That's fine.
15:16He's telling me, and I can't get going through this.
15:19According to court documents, on December 12th, 2025, Lisa pleaded guilty to one count
15:24of failure to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in felony for death.
15:29She was sentenced to 12 years in prison at the Indiana Department of Corrections.
