00:01:42
>> [music] >> In the mid-2000s, [music] there wasn't much that could shock first
00:01:49
responders in the Illinois city of East St. Louis. [music] The once thriving industrial city had
00:01:55
been hit hard by the Great Depression, [music] after which it struggled to recover.
00:02:00
From the 1950s onwards, [music] the loss of industry and the declining economy prompted residents to flee East [music]
00:02:06
St. Louis in the tens of thousands. This led to a sharp decline in city services [music]
00:02:12
and employment opportunities. Many of the remaining citizens [music] lived below the poverty line with little
00:02:18
assistance and scraped to get by. Substance abuse and violence were ongoing issues and the murder rate was
00:02:26
more than 10 times the national average. On the edge of East St. Louis is the Frank Holten State Park, a 1,000 acre
00:02:35
expanse of woodland, fields, and lakes. With wild [music] deer roaming freely and ample fishing opportunities, the
00:02:43
park is an urban escape where families can picnic [music] and enjoy the outdoors.
00:02:49
For many, it's a place where they can forget their hardships for a few hours. But on the afternoon of Friday,
00:02:56
September [music] 15, 2006, paramedics were called to the Frank Holten State Park after receiving a distressing 911
00:03:04
call. The park was just starting to get busy as they pulled up at the entrance at
00:03:09
5:30 p.m. [music] The paramedics parked the ambulance and scanned their surroundings until they
00:03:16
found what they were looking for. The young woman was standing still and holding something close to her chest.
00:03:24
When they approached, she held out her arms and raised the bundle for them to see.
00:03:30
It was a newborn baby, clearly deceased. >> The woman was taken to the hospital where detectives arrived to take her
00:04:02
statement. [music] She told them her name was Tiffany Hall and she was 24 years old.
00:04:09
Tiffany said that earlier that day she'd been at the home of a man named Tony. [music]
00:04:14
The two had only known each other for a few weeks, but they were getting to know
00:04:18
one another. Then, without warning, >> [music] >> Tony pinned Tiffany down and raped her.
00:04:26
Tiffany explained [music] that she was 7 months pregnant and the trauma of the sexual assault caused her to prematurely
00:04:32
go into labor. She gave birth, but the baby girl [music] wasn't breathing. Tony cut the umbilical cord, bundled
00:04:41
Tiffany and her stillborn baby into his car, and then dumped them in Frank Holten State Park. [music]
00:04:49
The calm nature in which Tiffany recounted her ordeal indicated to the detectives [music] that she was likely
00:04:54
in shock. She didn't know Tony's last name and couldn't remember exactly where he
00:05:00
lived, but she was able to provide the detectives with a general description of him, his car, and his house.
00:05:07
>> [music] >> Using the information she provided, the detectives tried to [music] track Tony
00:05:15
down. After 4 days with no success, they requested that Tiffany Hall join them to
00:05:21
retrace the route she'd taken to get to Tony's house. Tiffany agreed. Writing in the police vehicle, she
00:05:29
directed the detectives up and down several different streets, but after 45 minutes, she still didn't recognize any
00:05:37
of the houses. The detectives took Tiffany back to the station and urged her to remember any
00:05:44
further details she could about her ordeal. Tiffany insisted she didn't know anything more.
00:05:51
She started [music] to get defensive and shut down the questioning, asking if she
00:05:55
needed a lawyer. This wasn't the first instance where Tiffany had been dismissive towards
00:06:01
investigators. When she was taken to the hospital, she had also refused a rape kit.
00:06:08
The detectives could understand why Tiffany was reluctant to assist them. At the age of 14, Tiffany was charged
00:06:16
with domestic battery after she kicked her mother in the legs. She was given 1 year's probation, but
00:06:22
refused her mandatory drug tests, [music] continued to skip school, and regularly stayed out past curfew.
00:06:29
Consequently, she was sent to a juvenile detention facility for 6 months. By the age of 17, Tiffany had given
00:06:37
birth to two daughters. The second was dropped on her head as a baby, resulting in irreversible brain
00:06:44
damage. Child protection authorities became involved when they found evidence that
00:06:49
Tiffany's youngest daughter had also been physically [music] abused. Both of her children were taken into
00:06:55
protective care, but returned to Tiffany 2 years later. At the time she regained custody,
00:07:03
Tiffany was under investigation for arson. Two fires had been started in her then
00:07:09
boyfriend's home, >> [music] >> the second of which destroyed the house entirely.
00:07:13
On both occasions, Tiffany had been the only one there. 5 years had passed since then, but
00:07:21
Tiffany Hall was still on the radar of the local police. Just 1 week before she was attacked by
00:07:28
Tony, police received a tip that she was neglecting her two daughters. On the afternoon of Friday, September
00:07:35
15, 2006, officers had arrived at Tiffany's home to perform a welfare check on her children.
00:07:42
The girls were there being cared for by Tiffany's mother. Unbeknown to all of them, it was around
00:07:49
this exact same time that Tiffany was being assaulted by Tony. The detectives decided not to press
00:07:57
Tiffany for any further information for the time being. She requested to be left alone for at
00:08:03
least one day. Tomorrow was her baby's funeral. The father of Tiffany's stillborn baby
00:08:14
was her boyfriend Keith Horn, a Navy sailor [music] stationed 900 miles away in Norfolk, Virginia.
00:08:22
The news that Tiffany had been assaulted and their baby had died as a result had
00:08:26
left Keith heartbroken. >> [music] >> He'd been granted a few days of shore leave to attend his daughter's funeral.
00:08:34
Keith arrived at the funeral home on Thursday, September 21. [music] The service was scheduled to commence at
00:08:41
midday, but as the clock ticked past 12, nothing was happening >> [music] >> and Tiffany was nowhere to be seen.
00:08:49
The funeral director approached Keith and told him that Tiffany was running a little late.
00:08:55
She'd called a few minutes earlier to ask if the service could be rescheduled to another day when more of her
00:09:00
relatives would be able to attend. >> [music] >> The director was unable to accommodate
00:09:06
her request, but agreed [music] to wait for Tiffany before commencing the service.
00:09:12
Tiffany arrived about 90 minutes later. A short service was held for the baby, whom she and Keith had named Taylor.
00:09:22
The coffin was then taken to the nearby cemetery for burial. Keith was still processing his grief as
00:09:29
he and Tiffany walked away from their daughter's grave. Moments later, Tiffany turned to him
00:09:36
with a revelation. She admitted that Keith was not the father of the baby. In fact,
00:09:45
it wasn't even her baby. After receiving a frantic phone call from Keith Horn, police officers were
00:09:54
dispatched to Tiffany Hall's weatherboard home on North 56th Street, where she lived with her mother and two
00:10:01
daughters. They knocked on the door, but there was no answer. The house had only one neighbor about 15
00:10:09
[music] ft to the right. The rest of the house was surrounded by a large expanse [music] of trees, dense
00:10:15
scrub, and weeds. Based on the information Keith had given [music] them, police commenced the
00:10:21
search of the property. About 10 minutes later, an officer was searching behind the house when they
00:10:29
came upon a disturbing sight. Lying amongst the thick [music] bushes and weeds was the body of a young woman.
00:10:37
She was wrapped in a shower curtain, and damage [music] to the surrounding foliage indicated that she'd been
00:10:42
dragged there from Tiffany's house. Next to her body was a pair of scissors. The young woman had clearly been
00:10:51
pregnant, but there was no baby. There was only a large gaping hole in her abdomen.
00:11:06
Tiffany Hall and Jamella Tunstall had been close friends since a young age. Although they weren't biologically
00:11:13
related, they referred to each other affectionately as cousins. Like Tiffany, Jamella had a troubled
00:11:19
upbringing and was considered a bit of a social outcast. She was a quiet and shy girl who didn't
00:11:26
make friends easily. A car accident had left her with a large scar across her eye, which other
00:11:32
children made fun of and called her ugly. Having been placed in foster care at a
00:11:39
young age, all Jamella ever wanted was to be part of a stable, loving home. When she became pregnant at 16, being
00:11:47
responsible for providing such a thing for her baby was a terrifying prospect for Jamella.
00:11:54
But a month later, her best friend Tiffany had an announcement. She was pregnant, too.
00:12:01
Not only could they raise their children together, but this would be Tiffany's second child, so Jamella could benefit
00:12:07
from Tiffany's experience. In June of 1999, Jamella gave birth to a little boy, and a few weeks after that,
00:12:16
Tiffany welcomed her second daughter. The two supported one another, eating meals together, taking their children to
00:12:24
the cinema, and babysitting for one another. Determined to give her child the best
00:12:30
possible life, Jamella persevered through high school as a single mother. In the years that followed, she had two
00:12:38
more children. She worked two jobs while attending college classes to become a photographer, and in time, she managed
00:12:46
to put together enough money to buy a car and rent a small apartment. In early 2006, Jamella was delighted to
00:12:55
discover that she was pregnant for the fourth time. She'd come a long way from the scared
00:13:01
teenager she used to be, and although she had some ups and downs during her parenting journey, she'd worked hard to
00:13:07
be a good mother. She had a job and an apartment and was in a loving long-term relationship.
00:13:14
She'd even built a good relationship with her own mother. When considering her fourth pregnancy,
00:13:21
Jamella realized there was really only one thing reminiscent of her first. Tiffany Hall was pregnant again, too.
00:13:33
Tiffany and Jamilla had remained close into adulthood, and even their mothers had become best friends.
00:13:40
But, while Jamilla was dedicated to [music] her children, Tiffany continued to spend most of her time with her
00:13:46
friends and going to parties. Tiffany's two daughters were often cared for by their grandmother, while Tiffany
00:13:53
sometimes stayed at Jamilla's apartment for days at a time. Although Tiffany helped to Jamilla
00:13:59
around the house during these days, [music] Jamilla sometimes got the feeling that
00:14:04
Tiffany was just using her. By early September 2006, the two friends were both heavily pregnant when they got
00:14:13
into an argument over the phone. After hanging up, Jamilla decided she needed a break from their friendship.
00:14:21
Tiffany called back immediately, but Jamilla ignored the call. She didn't answer the next few times
00:14:28
Tiffany called, either. Whatever Tiffany wanted to say, Jamilla didn't want to hear it.
00:14:36
On September 21, after Tiffany and her boyfriend Keith buried their stillborn baby,
00:14:42
Tiffany admitted that she had never been pregnant at all. The baby they'd just buried was Jamilla
00:14:50
Tunstills. Tiffany said she'd cut the baby from Jamilla's womb before dumping her body
00:14:57
in her backyard. When police found the body of 23-year-old Jamilla Tunstill, the search
00:15:05
for Tiffany Hall began immediately. Her image and a description of the car she was likely driving was released to
00:15:13
news outlets as officers went to check Jamilla's apartment in case Tiffany was hiding out there.
00:15:20
Jamilla lived only 4 miles away, so police arrived quickly on scene. They gained access to the apartment, but
00:15:28
a quick scan revealed each room to be empty. Given that Tiffany lived with her mother, Beverly, police also considered
00:15:37
that Beverly might have somehow been involved with Jamila's murder. They tracked her down and told her that
00:15:44
she was being questioned under suspicion of murder. >> [music] >> Beverly appeared to be genuinely
00:15:49
confused, saying she had no idea what the officers were talking about. When they told her that Jamila Tunstall
00:15:57
had been killed and Tiffany was the prime suspect, Beverly was in shock. Jamila's mother and aunt were her
00:16:06
dearest friends and she considered Jamila to be like a daughter. Unable to comprehend the news, she said
00:16:14
she had no idea where Tiffany could be hiding. It was evident to police that Beverly
00:16:22
was telling the truth. The search for Tiffany continued and a few hours later, she was traced [music]
00:16:28
to a housing project just a few streets away from Jamila's apartment. >> [music]
00:16:34
>> Tiffany was placed under arrest and taken into custody where she began to talk.
00:16:40
According to Tiffany, it all began when her boyfriend Keith Horn was stationed away as part of his naval duties.
00:16:48
She didn't want him to go, so she concocted a plan to get him back >> [music] >> saying she was pregnant with his child.
00:16:56
For months, [music] Tiffany faked her own pregnancy alongside Jamila's real one.
00:17:01
She bought baby clothes and toys and shared the news with her friends and family.
00:17:07
However, Tiffany knew that at some point her ruse would be discovered unless she
00:17:12
could somehow produce a baby. Tiffany confessed to the detectives that she had, [music] quote,
00:17:20
"contemplated taking Jamella's unborn baby for quite some time." In early [music] September, the pair had
00:17:28
a falling out, at which point Jamella started ignoring Tiffany's calls. Around the same time, Tiffany started
00:17:36
putting her plan into action. She bought rubbing alcohol, a pair of scissors, and a nasal aspirator, which
00:17:44
she intended to use to clear the baby's airway after she cut the child from Jamella's womb.
00:17:53
By Friday, September 15, Tiffany and Jamella were back on speaking terms. Tiffany had the house to herself, so she
00:18:02
convinced Jamella to swing by. At some point during the visit, Tiffany grabbed a chair leg and used it to beat
00:18:10
Jamella over the head twice. It was enough to incapacitate Jamella while Tiffany bound her hands and feet
00:18:17
with duct tape. When Jamella struggled to free herself, Tiffany hit her over the head again,
00:18:24
>> [music] >> knocking her unconscious. Tiffany then dragged Jamella into the bathtub, where she used the scissors to
00:18:31
remove Jamella's baby. Neither the baby nor Jamella survived the attack. Tiffany wrapped Jamella's body in the
00:18:41
shower curtain, dragged her into the backyard, and dumped her among the bushes. She then took the baby and made her way
00:18:49
to Frank Holton State Park, where she called for an ambulance. While she was out, Tiffany's mother and
00:18:56
her daughters returned home, unaware that Jamella's body lay hidden only yards away.
00:19:05
While detectives were taking Tiffany's confession, the question arose, "Where were Jamella's three other
00:19:12
children? Officers began interviewing members of the Tunstall [music] family and learned
00:19:18
that on the day Jamilla was killed, her kids had been staying with their father,
00:19:22
Ivan Collins. While Ivan and Jamilla were in a committed relationship, they lived
00:19:29
separately and shared the care of their children. Jamilla's eldest child was 7-year-old
00:19:36
Damon, a kind-hearted and intelligent boy who loved superheroes and always let other kids play with his favorite little
00:19:43
green ride-on tractor. Ivan Collins was not Damon's biological father, but he had quickly come to love
00:19:51
Damon as his own. Ivan and Jamilla's second son, Ivan Jr., was only a week away from his third
00:19:59
birthday, and their daughter, Janella, was 22 months old. The couple had been looking forward to
00:20:07
welcoming their fourth child in just 2 months' time. In fact, when police phoned Ivan to tell
00:20:14
him about Jamilla's murder, her baby shower had been scheduled to start in just a few hours.
00:20:21
Ivan told the police that his children weren't with him. 4 days prior, he'd answered a knock at
00:20:28
his door. It was Tiffany Hall. She said that Jamilla had sent her to pick up the kids.
00:20:38
This was a common occurrence, so Ivan hadn't thought anything of it. He knew how close Jamilla and Tiffany
00:20:45
were, so he rounded up the children and watched as they happily went with their aunt Tiffany.
00:20:53
Ivan told the police he hadn't seen or heard from them since. >> [music] >> When the detectives interrogating
00:21:05
Tiffany Hall about the murder of Jamella Tunstall and her unborn child, were informed that Jamella's three children
00:21:11
had last been seen in Tiffany's care. They changed the focus of their interview.
00:21:17
They needed to know where the three children were as a matter of urgency. Tiffany [music] refused to tell them
00:21:24
anything. Officers were dispatched to Jamella's apartment to collect photographs of the
00:21:30
three children. Missing person posters were quickly produced and the local news stations
00:21:36
broadcast the details as police immediately began their search. Every inch of the land surrounding
00:21:42
Tiffany Hall's [music] house was scoured. Within a few short hours, the search had
00:21:48
expanded to nearby Frank Holten State Park. >> [music] >> Dozens of officers, firefighters, local
00:21:54
volunteers, and sniffer dogs scoured the expansive wooded area on foot. Jamella's loved ones joined the search,
00:22:02
while mounted police surveyed the fields on horseback, and police divers searched
00:22:07
the lake. The Illinois State Police Captain told news outlets that the priority was to
00:22:14
find the children alive. But, time was running out. A severe storm was approaching East
00:22:22
Saint Louis. Heavy rain and strong winds began to batter the park as lightning split the sky [music] and thunder
00:22:29
clapped overhead. By 3:00 p.m., a tornado was on its way, and the police had no choice but to
00:22:37
suspend the search. One of Jamella's cousins told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "I'm praying that they are not out
00:22:46
there, that they are with someone, and that person will return them." The search for Demond, Ivan Jr., and
00:22:56
Jamella recommenced at first [music] light the following day with the FBI also getting involved.
00:23:03
More volunteers joined in checking vacant houses in Tiffany's neighborhood and dumpsters [music]
00:23:09
all around the city. As the hours ticked by, concerned citizens of East Saint Louis became more
00:23:16
and more frantic, desperate for news that the children were safe and well. The state police chief held a press
00:23:24
conference to reassure the public that they would not stop searching until the children had been found stating,
00:23:31
"These children are from East Saint Louis. They know how to survive." Detectives continued to hound Tiffany
00:23:39
Hall for information, but she refused to tell them anything about the children. That was until 7:00 that evening when
00:23:49
she finally broke her silence. >> [music] >> Officers had been to Jamella's apartment
00:23:57
the day prior to grab photos of the children >> [music] >> and had briefly looked inside the day
00:24:02
before that when searching for Tiffany Hall. They had not seen the children or noticed anything unusual during either
00:24:10
visit. But based on Tiffany's latest revelation, officers re-entered the apartment for a third time.
00:24:19
This time, they were immediately struck by a strong odor coming from the laundry.
00:24:25
One officer lifted up the lid of the washing machine. Inside [music] was the semi-naked body
00:24:31
of 7-year-old Demond. Next to the washing machine was a dryer. They pulled open the door to find the
00:24:40
naked bodies of 2-year-old Ivan Jr. and 1-year-old Jenella. Police officers wept openly as they
00:24:49
lifted the children out and covered them in sheets. Many of the officers were so traumatized
00:24:56
that they later [music] needed counseling, with one being put on medical leave. Hundreds of onlookers gathered in the
00:25:03
fresh night air to watch as the children were taken away. The people of East St. Louis had seen
00:25:11
more than their fair share of violence and tragedy. Yet, the murders of the three Tunstall
00:25:16
children devastated the entire community. One local citizen told reporters, "These were our children.
00:25:26
They didn't even have a chance [music] to live." Tiffany Hall spared no details when
00:25:33
giving police her confession. She admitted that days after murdering Jamella and her unborn child, she'd gone
00:25:41
to Ivan Collins' home to pick up Demond, Ivan Jr., and Jinella. At the time, Tiffany's own daughters and
00:25:49
mother were staying with a friend, so she took the Tunstall children back to her house.
00:25:55
There, she gave each of them a dose of cough medicine to make them sleepy before drowning them one by one in the
00:26:01
bathtub. The same tub in which their mother and baby sister had been killed only days
00:26:07
earlier. Tiffany said she then wrapped the three children up and carried them to her car.
00:26:14
She drove the four miles to Jamella's apartment and dumped their bodies in the washing machine and dryer.
00:26:22
Autopsies on all three children, as well as on Jamella and her unborn baby, supported Tiffany's version of events.
00:26:31
Jamella's postmortem revealed she'd suffered blunt force trauma to the head, but died from blood loss.
00:26:38
The medical examiner described Jamella's death as very graphic and very brutal, and confirmed that her baby had not
00:26:46
lived to take a first breath. Tiffany Hall was charged with the first degree murders of Jamilla Tunstall, De
00:26:55
Man Tunstall, Ivan Tunstall Collins, and Janella Tunstall. She was also charged with the
00:27:02
intentional homicide of Jamilla's unborn baby. Tiffany was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation.
00:27:11
While the results revealed she suffered from some unresolved mental health issues and had a lower than average IQ,
00:27:18
the conclusion was that she was fit to stand trial. In a blow for Jamilla's family, Tiffany
00:27:25
pleaded not guilty on all counts. In response, the state prosecutor announced that he would seek the death
00:27:33
penalty. In relation to Jamilla and her baby, Tiffany Hall had perpetrated what is
00:27:42
known as a cesarean kidnapping or a fetal abduction. This type of crime is exceedingly rare,
00:27:49
with Tiffany's case marking only the 12th recorded fetal abduction in US history.
00:27:56
In each of the previous cases, the abductors were women who needed a newborn to pass off as their own.
00:28:03
All had faked their own pregnancy, either entirely or after miscarrying. Most had done so, at least in part, to
00:28:12
manipulate their partners into remaining in a relationship. It was clear to law enforcement that
00:28:19
Tiffany Hall had killed Jamilla Tunstall to gain access to her baby. However, that didn't explain why she murdered
00:28:27
Jamilla's living children 3 days later. Tiffany never revealed her motive for killing the children, nor did she
00:28:35
express remorse for any of her actions. She maintained her not guilty plea for nearly 2 years until June 2008, when she
00:28:44
changed her position just before her trial was scheduled to begin. In exchange for the death penalty
00:28:51
[music] being taken off the table, Tiffany pleaded guilty to all charges. For the first-degree [music] murders of
00:28:58
Jamella, Damon, Ivan Jr., and Jinella, she was given four life sentences without [music] the possibility of
00:29:05
parole. For the intentional homicide of Jamella's unborn baby, Tiffany received a concurrent sentence of 60 [music]
00:29:14
years. Jamella's family was satisfied with the outcome. One of her cousins commented, [music]
00:29:23
"I just think she should be in prison the rest of her life to think about what she did.
00:29:29
God's going to have the upper hand." Jamella's mother said, "I have to forgive her. I believe in
00:29:38
putting justice in God's hands." Just over a month after her sentencing, Tiffany Hall claimed she'd been coerced
00:29:48
into pleading guilty and [music] filed a motion to withdraw her plea on all counts.
00:29:54
Jamella's loved ones adamantly opposed the motion, with her aunt stating, "We want to heal. We thought everything
00:30:03
was in closure. I believe Tiffany did it [music] and we need to put this behind us.
00:30:09
I loved Tiffany as though she were my blood niece. I still love her, but Jamella can't speak. So, I have to
00:30:18
speak for her." Ivan Collins' mother told reporters, "Tiffany massacred a whole family.
00:30:27
Before I would see that woman walk free, I will go to prison myself." Tiffany's motion to change her plea was
00:30:37
denied. [music] After the deaths of Jamella and her children, their loved ones faced another
00:30:45
heartbreak. Neither Ivan Collins nor Jamella's family could afford the cost of a
00:30:50
funeral. Word of this reached the people of East St. Louis, and within a matter of days,
00:30:57
the community had raised $35,000 for the cause. More than 700 mourners gathered at the
00:31:04
church to attend the service, with Tiffany's mother among them. The pastor told the congregation,
00:31:13
"This is not a time for contemplation of revenge, but a time for healing." He encouraged those in attendance to
00:31:22
lean into their faith and to use the [music] tragic deaths of Jamella and her kids as fuel for change.
00:31:30
After the funeral, Ivan Collins sat beside the graves of his children in tears. He clutched two white teddy bears, but
00:31:38
they provided no comfort. Ivan was consumed by guilt at having handed his children over to Tiffany
00:31:45
Hall. He'd been plagued by nightmares every night since their bodies were discovered.
00:31:53
It was too painful for Ivan to remain in East St. Louis. Shortly after the funeral, he relocated,
00:32:00
but his guilt followed him across state lines. Every day was a struggle. Two years went by before he returned to
00:32:10
East St. Louis. There was one last thing he needed to do. Ivan and Jamella's stillborn baby had
00:32:19
been buried under the name Taylor, as though she was the child of Tiffany Hall and Keith Horn.
00:32:26
On Wednesday, October 8, 2008, the baby girl was exhumed and reburied alongside her real mother and siblings.
00:32:36
After the funeral, [music] Ivan told reporters, "It's very tough. I am happy though that my family is all
00:32:44
together." Ivan found comfort in knowing that his daughter [music] was finally buried
00:32:50
under her real name. Before all of the tragedy that befell their family, Ivan and Jamila [music]
00:32:57
had chosen a name for their baby girl, Harmony. >> [music]
