[Music] I lost my 5-year-old son. He's not here today. I loved every part of who he was
00:00:32
[Music] and I'm very saddened I'll never get to watch him grow up. How did your son die?
00:00:45
His death certificate says homicide. Lacy Spears is not an innocent mother grieving the death of her
00:00:56
[Music] son. She is no longer the mother of Garnet Spears because she murdered [Music]
00:01:04
him. You will not hear a single witness that saw Lacy Spears do [Music] anything, give anything, or feed
00:01:14
anything to her son that would have caused his death. You don't expect to lose your child.
00:01:22
Lacy Spears is a calculating child killer. You don't expect to take them to the hospital and never bring them home. Her
00:01:34
research, planned, and executed the intentional poisoning of her son, Garnet Spears, with salt.
00:01:43
I didn't hurt him. I didn't kill my son. You didn't poison your son with salt? No, I did not. I never poisoned him with
00:01:52
salt. Then why is his sodium level so high? You would have to ask the hospital that I spent 26 years with the Decatur
00:02:01
Police Department. 10 of those years were exclusively in the investigation of child
00:02:07
abuse. I never saw a case that was so overtly munchous and syndrome by proxy. Munchous and byroxy is faking illness in
00:02:16
someone else and also inducing [Music] illness. Usually a mother on behalf of a child. It's mostly to seek attention. I
00:02:24
do not have mench and by proxy. I didn't harm him in any way. I seek help for him diligently because I
00:02:32
was his advocate. We began to pull medical records. We were able to identify approximately 20
00:02:39
medical facilities from the time Garnet was born in 2008 to the time they left the area
00:02:46
[Music] 2010. There was indication that she was visiting different doctor's offices
00:02:52
without sharing information from one doctor to the other. He just would not take a bottle of baby food and not
00:02:57
gaining weight and nobody could explain to me what was going on. This case had a lot of warning
00:03:06
signs. The story is told in the records. What we're looking for is what is this mother telling us and does that fit with
00:03:15
the picture that we see medically. For example, elevated salt that's not medically explained. I am
00:03:24
100% convinced that Lacy Spears is directly responsible for the death of Garnet Spears.
00:03:31
My son is not here today because someone in that hospital screwed up and neglected to take care of him.
