[Music] [Applause] crime [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he this week we find ourselves once
00:04:32
again in the great state of Kentucky Scottsville Kentucky to be more precise where we only have a little over
00:04:41
4,000 people per the most recent census Scottsville is part of the Charlottesville metropolitan area which
00:04:49
of course is much larger and more populous we have covered several Kentucky cases in fact our man with no
00:04:57
hands episode number 5 34 was one of our most downloaded shows of last year 2021 now I would say it's great to be
00:05:09
back in Kentucky but if we're talking about your state and your city well then unfortunately that means that something
00:05:17
bad has happened something evil either made its way to your town or something evil came
00:05:24
out of it and in today's True Crime Story evil struck in Allen County Kentucky on Saturday
00:05:33
November 14th 2015 for one Kentucky family this would mean that their lives would forever be
00:05:44
changed for them sadly their family would never be the same but this was also a crime so
00:05:52
horrific that it forever changed an entire Community for the good people of Allen
00:05:58
County this was the End of Innocence one headline simply read Safe feeling gone this is true crime
00:06:13
[Applause] garage Saturday November 14th 2015 the Dolan family are at the Allen County scotsville High School football
00:06:33
stadium their oldest son 11-year-old Alec Duan will be playing in the football game this is the end of the
00:06:41
season Allstar youth football game his younger sister 7 year-old Gabriella known to family and friends as Gabby is
00:06:49
there as well Gabby is a cheerleader and this afternoon is just two weeks shy of
00:06:56
her eighth birthday Amy and Brian dueling are Alec and Gabby's mother and father they are
00:07:04
of course in attendance as well they're there to support and cheer for Alec and Gabby now the Dolan have a younger son
00:07:11
as well his name is Jake he's just a few years younger than Gabby and I'm not quite sure if he was present at the game
00:07:19
that day or if the duelan had a babysitter Gabby and some friends while at the game go up to Gabby's mother Amy
00:07:27
asking if they could go over to one of the concession stands and play over near the stands in the restrooms and the
00:07:34
Dolan said yes go ahead this is a place that they've gone to many times they've experienced this same day for the entire
00:07:43
football season time and time again and seeing the same people present at the stadium as
00:07:50
well after just a short while Gabby's two little friends well they come back and they're asking the duelan about
00:07:58
Gabby where is Gabby they explained to the duelan that they were playing a game and after a while they could not find
00:08:05
their friend well Amy and Alex sprung into action walking through the crowd looking
00:08:13
for their daughter looking for Little Gabby and asking others if they had seen the little blonde
00:08:20
cheerleader as the minutes ticked by and as their concerns were mounting the duelan asked others to assist in the
00:08:28
search pretty soon Captain nearly everyone in attendance was searching for this little
00:08:34
girl they searched the stadium the restrooms in the surrounding areas this is a pretty common thing though at youth
00:08:43
sporting events one of the kids get lost and you can't find them and you find out
00:08:48
that they're at the concession stand or they were in the restroom but it's a growing concern so at halftime they're
00:08:55
going to make an announcement looking for missing gas Gabby yeah they have the announcer just
00:09:01
announced to the entire crowd hey little girl Gabby duelan this announcement is for you it's now time for you to stop
00:09:09
what you're doing and return to your parents unfortunately again the minutes start ticking by and concerns continue
00:09:18
to grow and still no Gabby even after the announcement by this time we are in the 7:00 hour and it's Kentucky in
00:09:28
November so it's dark out by this point in fact it would have started to get dark in the 6:00 hour at 7:40 p.m. the
00:09:37
doelan notified and requested the assistance of the local police their daughter is missing and they need help
00:09:44
to locate her when sometimes at these events they have local law enforcement to act as security guards as well do you
00:09:53
know if there was any law enforcement already on hand from my understanding there was no law enforcement that was
00:09:59
present often as you said Captain they they are signed up to work extra Duty or special Duty depending on what they call
00:10:06
it in that jurisdiction and that's very common at these high school football games and they are at the high school
00:10:12
football stadium however this is a youth game and I believe that it started a little earlier in the day than a typical
00:10:19
high school football game would start right and from my understanding the local law enforcement were asked hey are
00:10:29
we going to isn't there usually law enforcement at these high school football games and they they replied yes
00:10:35
at the high school games but not at these youth games we've never been asked to attend or secure one of those events
00:10:42
right so no law enforcement on site initially but they're going to join Gabby's parents in the search but
00:10:48
there's also other parents trying to help them find their child right and as we pointed out in the trailer for
00:10:55
today's show this is an area where we only have a a little over over 4,000 people under 5,000 people in the
00:11:01
population I cannot imagine that law enforcement that there wasn't a patrol car nearby so when they call this in at
00:11:10
7:40 p.m. it won't take law enforcement long to be on the scene and keep in mind
00:11:16
what's going on at this football game right now we still have the kids playing in this All-Star football game but now
00:11:23
we have a large chunk of the parents and attendance that are actively looking for
00:11:29
for the same little girl for Gabby Dolan right so when police arrive on the scene
00:11:35
this will give the already somewhat large search some Authority and organization so we have a school a
00:11:43
stadium and any of the Little buildings associated with the stadium there's a baseball diamond and behind the football
00:11:51
and baseball playing areas we have a heavily wooded area that contains a creek which flows into a small pond
00:11:59
all of these areas of course were priority for this search now shockingly and sadly just 25 minutes after
00:12:10
notifying the police they found Gabby's lifeless body floating in that pond in the wooded area behind the football
00:12:19
stadium at 8:05 p.m. on Saturday November 14th 2015 the local policing agency notified
00:12:28
the Kentucky State Police that they had recovered the body of 7-year-old Gabby Dolan she was the victim of a homicide
00:12:36
and a kidnapping she was found dead just about 400 ft from the Allen County Scottsville High School football stadium
00:12:44
now this point they don't know the cause of death but there had to be something that directed law enforcement to spring
00:12:52
into action and view this as a homicide I think that's exactly right there Captain because we have a little girl
00:12:58
that's found deceased in a body of water there must have been something that they
00:13:04
recognized something that they spotted to change this into an immediate investigation into looking into what has
00:13:12
happened here in this situation what happened to this little girl now this next move was a smart one and a quick
00:13:20
one the police quickly corraled all of the people that were still at the stadium and again by this point it's
00:13:27
dark out the temperature is starting to drop so they take everyone into the school I believe they took them into one
00:13:36
of the larger rooms in the school so the gymnasium or the cafeteria right so once
00:13:43
there they start asking everyone about that night what did they see what did they
00:13:49
hear did anyone see Gabby did anyone see anyone with her if they saw her particularly adults or older kids with
00:13:58
her well Gabby stuck out because she had this bright almost white hair and of course they want to know did anybody see
00:14:06
anything that they thought was unusual about that evening well also it's a small town so let's do the old pervert
00:14:16
Roundup well and this is I mean this is about as sad as it gets right here her older brother Alec was still
00:14:25
playing in the football game while they're searching for G Abby and when she's found he's I don't know if this is at
00:14:34
the end of the game roughly at the time that she was found but he is basically coming off the field and being told that
00:14:42
his little sister was found dead during the course of the game that he was just playing in so they take the family and
00:14:49
they put the family in one of the locker rooms kind of keeping them separate from
00:14:54
everybody else and they're asking them of course all of the same questions that they're asking their large group of
00:15:00
people right now several people said that they had witnessed Gabby and the other kids playing some kind of game
00:15:08
maybe it was hide and seek near the concessions and the restrooms several other people said that they noticed a
00:15:14
tall white man hanging around the restroom area and some said that the man caught their attention because he was
00:15:22
acting oddly some even said that he was acting shady now they didn't give specifics on what this Shady activity
00:15:30
would be or how he was acting in the reports but this is information that was relay to the people in attendance at
00:15:38
this football game to law enforcement shortly after finding the body of this little girl the thing is here though
00:15:45
Captain we have multiple people that are telling the police the same thing right
00:15:51
this isn't just one person that says hey I saw some guy and I thought he was a weirdo you should check into him no this
00:15:57
is multiple people saying that this guy for some reason caught their attention the info I found Captain didn't offer up
00:16:04
a better description of how the man was behaving or what exactly it was that he was doing that would indicate that the
00:16:10
man was acting shady but they did offer up a better description of the guy so this guy is a tall Caucasian man with a
00:16:20
beard he is balding and was wearing a brown jacket now once this information is out to the crowd so now once this
00:16:29
information is out to the crowd captain now we start having other people saying well I spotted a man matching this
00:16:36
description these are people that were actively searching for Gabby and actively searching for Gabby once law
00:16:43
enforcement had arrived and the odd thing here is that the people that were searching for Gabby
00:16:49
says we saw this man later in the night after seeing him near the restrooms or these other people saw him near the
00:16:57
restrooms The Searchers are saying now the odd thing about him was that it looked like while everybody else was
00:17:04
looking for Gabby he appears to be leaving the area right instead of joining in on the search I wish we lived
00:17:12
in a world where we see this creep by the restrooms Porter John's right mhm those things stink hey buddy stop
00:17:24
sitting around smelling the fumes get out of here scream weirdo well all of our smart listeners
00:17:31
probably already know where this investigation just might go right because here we have a small rural
00:17:39
community and a large Gathering well if enough people in a small community see the same guy or description of the guy
00:17:48
then we probably are going to have someone or some ones that know the man's name or can suggest to police or even ID
00:17:57
someone that's matching this description well this also makes it harder because all these kids are coming from different
00:18:05
teams so you'd think that some of their other teammates that maybe didn't make the allar team would would
00:18:13
have wanted to show up to support their other teammates so it probably is a little bit of a larger crowd than
00:18:21
normally this youth football G yeah the reports I found didn't give a clear indication on the number of people in
00:18:28
attendance that night but I'm with you I'm curious to know that as well well what we suspect might happen
00:18:36
is exactly what happens here the Kentucky State Police they end up that same night that same very night at the
00:18:44
home of a Scottdale resident this is based off of information that they collect from from eyewitnesses ear
00:18:52
Witnesses at the football game this leads them to this man and to his home this is the home of 38-year-old Timothy
00:19:02
Madden he lives there with his wife and five children now the police want to speak with him because they believe he
00:19:11
could be the man that the other football game attendees were were discussing with
00:19:15
the police after the game yeah so the first question if I'm law enforcement is just what are you doing at the game why
00:19:22
were you there so this guy Timothy I guess most people in town who knew him called call him Timmy he's very
00:19:31
Cooperative with the police from what I could find he tells them that of course people saw him at the game that evening
00:19:39
because he was there he doesn't deny being there right he says that he even looked for the girl briefly and then
00:19:47
went home and he goes on to tell police that he knows the duelin he went to high
00:19:52
school with Brian with the father of Gabby and they even ran around together at one point he he says that they were
00:19:59
friends at one time but never really close Tim says that he was there with the reports on this here very captain
00:20:08
and it's a little it's a little confusing to me as to exactly what went down but there are some reports that say
00:20:15
that he was there with one of his children there are other reports that say that he was there with two of his
00:20:21
children remember he has five kids and some of the reports state that his daughter was on the same cheer squad as
00:20:29
Little Gabby what a [ __ ] creep so Tim answers all of their questions and agrees to do whatever he can to assist
00:20:38
them for my understanding Captain this is all taking place about 2 a.m. so early Sunday
00:20:45
morning Gabby is killed Saturday evening and we can see how quickly this information that they generated by
00:20:54
interviewing all these Witnesses has led them to this this guy now he's being cooperative he's willing to assist them
00:21:03
in their case and offer up any information he can so he answers all their questions he hands over his
00:21:10
clothing that he was wearing when he went to the game that night he told police that after the game he came home
00:21:17
he took a bath and now he was talking to them that's that's his night went to the
00:21:22
game came home took a bath now I'm talking to you guys Tim agrees to do a DNA swab now police found some items that
00:21:32
are going to be very problematic for Tim first on his clothing that he gives to the police
00:21:40
they find what appears to be blood one spot is on one of his pant legs the other spot is on his belt buckle now
00:21:49
another item that they locate is a thread or a clothing fiber so they said that the police said that they found
00:21:57
this in the bathtub where Tim took his bath after the game and they say that this item this thread or this fiber was
00:22:06
consistent with one of the garments or some of the clothing that Gabby Dolan was wearing at the game that night so we
00:22:14
have a guy that was sticking out to other parents and other people at the football
00:22:21
stadium we're able now to identify that guy law enforcement is talking to that guy and then as are talking to them
00:22:29
they're they're now collecting evidence and we're only a few hours after the murder yeah police already have their
00:22:36
first really good lead that same night that Gabby was killed now that might seem like a rarity because of the types
00:22:44
of cases that we cover here in the garage many of them in fact are cold cases but outside of the garage in the
00:22:52
cases that we have covered catching a great lead quickly isn't so uncommon a lot of the big leads or heck some of
00:23:01
these cases are even solved within 48 Hours of the crime taking place that's right you might not have the case solved
00:23:08
you might not have somebody uh locked up and and sentenced of course or even a court date scheduled but you got
00:23:15
somebody in handcuffs Behind Bars relatively quickly in a lot of these situations now as everyone can imagine
00:23:24
the entire Community was just devastated by this senseless and violent act who would do such a horrible thing and could
00:23:32
it have been one of their own that committed this terrible act the community tried their very best to
00:23:39
support Gabby's family a vigil was held the very next day for Gabby and her family an autopsy was performed by the
00:23:49
coroner for the Kentucky State Police it was determined that Gabby was strangled
00:23:54
to death and drowned she was strangled while her head was underwater within just a few days the Kentucky State
00:24:04
Police announced that they had made an arrest police announced to the public that they had arrested 38-year-old
00:24:11
Scottsville resident and father of five Timothy Madden the state will be seeking
00:24:18
an indictment of four charges kidnapping rape sodomy and murder in the first [Applause]

00:26:33
captain now while the community was coming to the aid of the duelan family there were also people in the community
00:26:40
sticking up for Timothy Madden as well these were family and friends that said repeatedly that Tim could not have done
00:26:48
this and that the police must have the wrong guy briefly Tim is confronted by reporters this is when he is arrested
00:26:57
and being walked to the squad car and he's asked if he has anything to say to the duelan he says I'm sorry for their
00:27:06
loss but I'm innocent later he would do a sitdown interview with a local reporter this is
00:27:12
a jail housee interview with the local reporter during this interview Timothy once again proclaims his innocence and
00:27:21
as for the evidence against him he says that wasn't really anything or at least they me meaning the police have not
00:27:29
shown him anything any evidence that they have against him yeah now we know that Gabby was kidnapped and killed on
00:27:36
Saturday night Timothy Madden was arrested the next Friday morning at 11: that morning police had interviewed
00:27:42
Timothy several times during that time period and Tim's father-in-law was one of the people one of several people
00:27:50
coming to Tim's defense Tim's father-in-law even goes on public record speaking with reporters at
00:27:56
length say saying that Tim and his daughter have been married for 10 years and Tim has never shown any signs of
00:28:05
violence he's never even attempted to slap his daughter or his daughter's never had any bruises and he's a loving
00:28:13
father he's got children the same age as the duelan what about abuse towards the
00:28:19
children well according to the father-in-law Tim has never shown any signs of violence at all a little
00:28:25
background on Tim from my understanding he's got some very minor infractions traffic violations and I believe a theft
00:28:33
charge and maybe a theft conviction but his record doesn't show anything of violence or any type of pedophile type
00:28:43
Behavior right his father-in-law would continue with this lengthy interview with the with the reporters and he's
00:28:50
even saying you know ask anybody on this street and they're going to tell you that Tim's a good guy die his
00:28:58
father-in-law says Tim cooperated by handing over his clothing he cooperated with several lengthy interviews he took
00:29:06
a polygraph test and he even he even gave them a DNA swap Timothy in a jailhouse interview
00:29:14
maintained his innocence as we said he says that he has cooperated in every possible way but when the police when
00:29:23
they find their right guy that Tim would be suing one thing that is additional information from this jailhouse
00:29:31
interview is Tim says he saw Little Gabby the night that she was taken right he says he saw her playing with two
00:29:40
other girls so this is you know accurate with what we know was going on that night according to the duelan parents
00:29:47
well High School football stadium and in that surrounding area is is not that large so I I would assume that the
00:29:55
majority of the people watch watching that game that night saw her yeah he says that he saw Gabby with two other
00:30:02
girls and that they ran from out underneath of the bleachers he said then not too long after that someone came
00:30:10
along asking him if he had seen the little girl and he said yes and pointed in a Direction saying they went that way
00:30:18
when asked about the real killer he said that the real killer is still out there
00:30:22
and he's a bad individual he's crazy Tim says I'm in ENT and I don't know what evidence that they have against me
00:30:30
they've not shown me anything well if I found myself in this situation I I would
00:30:35
be uh praying that there was DNA left and and go ahead and test my DNA if I'm if I'm innocent exactly that's exactly
00:30:45
right there captain now while he's locked up and awaiting his trial in this case we do have a weird situation where
00:30:55
a a man from from West Virginia reaches out to the local authorities this man tells them that his son is saying that
00:31:06
he was approached by Timothy Madden now again this is in West Virginia so it's a
00:31:11
little bit ways away here but this took place a couple months before Gabby was killed and the sun Story Goes basically
00:31:23
like this that he and a friend their a were never given in any of these reports he and a friend were at a Walmart a
00:31:33
local Walmart and they were approached by a man in a van that they said were they believed he was trying to lure them
00:31:43
into the van and the two of them they high tailed it out of there and they later reported this this wasn't just
00:31:50
being reported for the very first time they told adults that night what happened and it was reported to their
00:31:58
local authorities right now we have this man from West Virginia calling the Kentucky State Police and saying hey the
00:32:06
guy that you're showing on TV that's been arrested for this Gabby Dolan thing he matches the description
00:32:14
my son is telling me that's the man that tried to get him in his van weeks ago again I'm still a supporter of uh the
00:32:23
ban the van movement of course by this time Captain he's already been arrested Timothy Madden's already been arrested
00:32:29
so they have a lot of his possessions in their evidence room and one of his possessions that they have is his cell
00:32:37
phone so they want to see if they can get information off of his cell phone to put him in the
00:32:43
area on the day and time of when this man and a van approach these two boys what ends up happening here though is
00:32:52
the cell phone that they have in their possession is a air quotes loner phone just days before Gabby was killed
00:33:02
Timothy Madden got a loner phone from a local repair place he took his phone in to be repaired because it would not hold
00:33:13
service he was having trouble with this phone and what the phone place told him was hey we're going to have to send this
00:33:20
off to somebody else to have the issue fixed to have the issue corrected and they'll send it back to us and then in
00:33:27
the meantime we're going to give you a loner phone this loner phone even had pictures that he took while he was at
00:33:33
the the football game that night and that's because he was sending them to relatives again one or two of his
00:33:40
children were present that night at the game the sad thing here though and where
00:33:45
police hit a dead end with this other incident that took place in West Virginia is when they talked to the
00:33:52
phone repair company they explained to police that before we sent his phone off we had to wipe the phone clean before
00:34:03
sending it off now we transferred what we could to this loner phone and of course police have already looked at
00:34:09
this loner phone and learned that there's nothing that they can use on this loner phone to put him in that
00:34:16
location in West Virginia weeks before so they hit a dead end there now this whole thing with Timothy Madden
00:34:27
is very very long and drawn out what we have here Captain is a situation where we're going to fight over venue where
00:34:37
the trial will be held we're going to fight over what evidence can be allowed into the trial itself there was some
00:34:45
question you know we have Timothy Madden on record stating in that jail house interview I've cooperated in every way
00:34:52
that I could I handed over my my clothing I did the DNA swap I've taken a lie detector test I've cooperated in
00:35:00
every manner that they've asked me but now later we have the mad family saying look this search that the Kentucky State
00:35:09
Police did on our house that night on at 2 in the morning on Sunday a.m. this they just barged into our
00:35:17
house 20 officers deep and they were harassing me and they were asking me questions we weren't
00:35:24
allowed to be present in the home while they searched the home so now the mad family is calling into question the
00:35:31
search and whatever whatever police gathered that they're going to use against him at this trial whether it can
00:35:39
be used or not because of the manner in which they they obtained it right Kentucky State Police has have always
00:35:47
maintained that he handed over the clothing in some of these items to us well like we said earlier or like you
00:35:55
said earlier he was being really Cooperative so what what a great thing to do let's let me be cooperative let me
00:36:03
uh give you pieces of evidence and then later I'll argue that I didn't give you those and that you you took those well
00:36:11
and what we learned during this process once the back and forth starts between the Timothy Madden camp and Kentucky
00:36:19
State Police and the state prosecutors what we learned here is what led to this man's the rest was those
00:36:28
blood spots the blood spots were determined to be the blood of Gabby Dolan this isn't just oh th this is
00:36:39
blood could be animal blood or human blood we don't know and then determine to be human blood no they determined
00:36:45
that this Blood belonged to the victim so how the hell did it get on his belt buckle and on his pants it seems highly
00:36:52
unlikely that he would have that evidence on him if he didn't commit the murder or have involvement in the murder
00:36:58
his defense he says well I I could have brushed up against a fence or brushed up
00:37:04
against a trash can or you know the blood could have got onto my pants in some other way this whole trial stuff
00:37:12
takes forever captain forever there's again they're trying to change the venue they're questioning what evidence can be
00:37:20
allowed in we also have a situation where Timothy Madden is changing Council this whole process gets drawn out over
00:37:30
1,400 days it's actually over 1430 days wow go by from the time that he is arrested until the time that we finally
00:37:40
get this thing resolved because what ends up happening is we have the coroner who took a rape
00:37:48
kit on our victim and found suspect DNA on the victim and of course when they ran those
00:37:58
test they have evidence they have scientific proof that he raped and killed this girl it's his DNA so not
00:38:07
only do they have the victim's Blood on the perpetrator's clothing we also have his DNA on the victim got him so pretty
00:38:17
open and shut case should be well what happens here is we end up in a plea agreement so Timothy mad is going to
00:38:27
plead guilty to murder and kidnapping and he is agreed to give an Alfred plea in the rape and sodomy
00:38:37
charge and this is complete Bizarro but he says that he wants to do the Alfred plea because it's basically a a no
00:38:46
contest he's saying I didn't do that but I can't defend myself he's saying that he's insisting on giving the Alfred plea
00:38:54
for the rape and the sodomy charge because he didn't want his family to think any less of him which I
00:39:01
don't that's not possible Timothy that's that would not be possible for anybody to think any less of you the other
00:39:09
Bizarro thing in this situation here Captain is the Madden family as well as some of the people in the community up
00:39:17
until he plad guilty seemed to there was a good percentage of people that really thought
00:39:23
that he might be innocent and part of that was that they Quest the very quick turnaround in the blood evidence that
00:39:29
was found it only took 3 days to find the blood send it off for testing get the results back and confirm that it was
00:39:37
their victim well so many people are messed up by this CSI syndrome hey here's the blood sample take it down the
00:39:44
hall and and come back in about 10 minutes and tell me the results this it's the opposite oh there's no way they
00:39:51
were able to do it that that fast right they must have planted evidence is what some people suspect ected his son ended
00:39:58
up in all kinds of trouble too remember he's got five kids one of his sons ended
00:40:02
up in all kinds of trouble because again this was about four years from the time
00:40:08
that this little girl was killed till the time that his the the case against Timothy Madden is adjudicated that's a
00:40:15
long period of time and during that period of time his son was sending off like written threats uh this would be
00:40:22
email and phone calls I believe to the Kentucky State Police where he's threatening them claiming that they have
00:40:29
got the wrong guy not only that that they planted evidence against his father and he ends up getting in trouble
00:40:36
himself for these threats he gets charged for these threats that he's making now what will end up happening is
00:40:43
that we don't end up with a real trial in this case and we have noticed and I'm sure our listeners have that the police
00:40:51
kept a lot of this information close to the vest they they kept a lot of hold back information in this case and still
00:40:59
have and because we didn't have an actual trial a lot of those details didn't come out and I do want to give a
00:41:06
little Kudos here as well while we're at it here Captain to uh Chris kti who did
00:41:12
gangbusters work on covering this case he's a reporter and I want to give him some major Kudos because he tweeted he
00:41:21
was at the the sentencing hearing and he said said look I know there's a lot of people covering or or
00:41:30
following the The Gabby duelan case and I've been covering it in the papers and I know you're looking to me for
00:41:37
information but I'm not going to be tweeting out details about her rape and murder that I'm hearing in court today
00:41:45
because they're just far too graphic and it's nothing that anybody needs to read
00:41:51
or hear if they're not present in the courtroom today so good for him to do the right thing you know we have some
00:42:00
situations where people just want to sell some papers and get their name out there and Chris kti did did the opposite
00:42:07
did the right thing in this situation at the sentencing hearing though one thing that was released from
00:42:14
this again very few details because there's no actual trial but the the duelan were able to give a victim impact
00:42:23
statement and Gabby's mother Amy would be giving that Victim Impact statement she's in the middle of telling
00:42:33
the court everyone in the room the judge the the the plaintiff the defendants the
00:42:41
prosecution everybody in the court he she's telling them what Gabby was to her who Gabby was their daughter and how
00:42:51
they loved her from the minute that they knew that she was pregnant and from the
00:42:56
minute that that little girl was born how the Father Brian Dolan was just he was wrapped around her little finger and
00:43:05
how much this little girl meant meant to them and she didn't even get to see her
00:43:09
eighth birthday and during the course of this very powerful very moving very emotional impact statement by The
00:43:18
Grieving mother of the murder victim Timothy Madden's attorney starts talking to Timothy
00:43:27
well Brian Dolan had enough he stood up he pointed to the attorney and he said look this is the most disrespectful
00:43:36
thing I have ever witnessed we have waited four years for this moment we have waited four years and you can't
00:43:45
give my wife 3 minutes of your time so that the perpetrator the murderer can hear the impact that this has had on our
00:43:55
family you're you are talking to your client and by the way you're you're the defense
00:44:03
I believe he was a public defender so paid by the taxpayers you got a whole room full of
00:44:10
taxpayers yeah paid to be a piece of [ __ ] well this erupts into to infighting within the courtroom and we have this is
00:44:19
one thing that that completely I mean this case is horrible and shocking of course but one thing that I cannot get
00:44:25
over that that that just shocks the hell out of me is even during this sentencing
00:44:31
hearing where this man has already said look I'm pleading guilty to murder and kidnapping I kidnapped and murdered this
00:44:39
little girl and I made a plea deal to take the death penalty off of the table and I'm making sure that I get life
00:44:45
without parole because I'm such a coward that I kill children and I can't face the
00:44:51
consequences we already know that to be the situation some of the idiots in the Madden family are still kind of sticking
00:44:59
by this dude right where when Brian Dolan gets up and starts yelling at his Defender his public
00:45:05
defender one of the you know we have the judge who's saying you know quiet down Mr Duan you know Order in the Court one
00:45:15
of the idiots in the Madden family goes lock him up lock him up lock up Brian Dolan it's
00:45:23
it's aggravating so they had to clear the courtroom and they took a recess and they came back and Amy dlan was able to
00:45:29
give her impact statement and as said Timothy Madden was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole I'm
00:45:37
sure that there are people in the community and I'm sure that there may even be people in the Duan family that
00:45:42
wish that they would have got that death penalty it's it's bittersweet of course
00:45:48
uh your victory in court that day when he finally plad guilty and finally admitted to what he did
00:45:56
but it I think that it was the right outcome because now at least fortunately the duelin and the state of Kentucky
00:46:03
don't have to face all these additional appeals and during that appeal process you also open up yourselves to him
00:46:11
possibly finding a loophole or technicality that would end up changing his sentence or or getting him a new
00:46:20
trial but but hasn't he made statements in prison saying that he's innocent he's
00:46:27
continued to to say that he was innocent even after he pled guilty I mean that's
00:46:32
like I'm going to uh judge I'm going to plead guilty but I'm innocent of the crimes yeah he still says that uh I
00:46:41
don't know if he still says that to this day but but shortly after the sentence of life without the possibility of
00:46:47
parole was handed down he was still proclaiming his innocence so the Madden family wants to paint the picture that
00:46:54
the Kentucky State police are are terrible people and it's a terrible agency and that they I guess they
00:47:01
planted evidence or collected evidence illegally against this man from everything I've reviewed I don't see any
00:47:07
of that I see a I see a really good uh State policing agency that in this situation did a really good job pulling
00:47:16
together all of their good people pulling together all of their resources and putting together a case really
00:47:22
quickly against a horrible horrible individual now after Timothy Madden was convicted in
00:47:30
this case there were some some really awesome web sluther shout out to the web sleuthing
00:47:37
Community there right that came forward and said hey there's this unsolved abduction and murder of a little girl
00:47:45
from 1996 and this is the abduction and murder of Morgan violi she is she was abducted
00:47:56
in July of 96 in the Bowling Green Kentucky area and her body was recovered in October of 1996 in White House
00:48:08
Tennessee now what these web Luthers are pointing out they're was a witness to the abduction so they have a composite
00:48:17
sketch and what these web Luther are saying is that Timothy Madden you know his his picture from 1996 doesn't look
00:48:28
terribly unlike the composite sketch in this other case matches the description yeah
00:48:34
and if anybody wants to look up some more information on that case Mike van djk is the sheriff in Robertson County
00:48:42
Tennessee and they have information on that case Morgan violi on their website which is robertsonsheriff.com
00:48:51
you're innocent until proven guilty when evidence starts piling up against these
00:48:58
individuals I don't understand why they keep protecting them and we see this in so many cases and especially in cases
00:49:10
where the victims are children I mean look at Deli the cops have been say for 5 years
00:49:20
that somebody knows something and they need to come forward and and tell law enforcement that it's if you're not
00:49:28
coming forward and telling law enforcement this evidence then you're protecting a child
00:49:36
murderer a child rapist what kind of person does that make you I I just don't understand it I it
00:49:47
doesn't it wouldn't matter if it was a close friend it wouldn't matter if it was a family member it wouldn't
00:49:55
matter if it was my own father if there was evidence out there that started pointing towards the fact
00:50:05
that like I said somebody close to me was guilty of such a heinous crime I'm not protecting them at that
00:50:14
point I'm burning them on the cross myself it's a very mad world well after the sentencing hearing the only issue
00:50:26
statement by the duelan family was that the that everybody remember Gabby and one thing that I do think is great is
00:50:35
that Kentucky law enforcement certainly has remembered Gabby duelan in fact they
00:50:41
put together what was later called operation Gabby and this is when members of the United States Secret Service the
00:50:50
United States Attorney Russell Coleman Kentucky attorney general Dan Daniel Cameron and the leadership of other
00:50:58
internet crimes against children task force announced several arrests that they made during this operation Gabby
00:51:05
duelan they arrested seven seven men that were arrested and charged and this is a a focus on getting these these
00:51:16
Predators off of the streets well get them before they can get more victims and I mean this is um this is should be
00:51:26
happening in all these cases you know put some research into get it like you said uh they're basically set up sting
00:51:34
operations you like Catch a Predator this task force might have saved uh many lives and many other victims yeah most
00:51:44
of these individuals were charged with juvenile enticement type of charges or child pornography charges internet
00:51:54
related charges but one thing I want to point out here of the seven people that are listed in this article there
00:52:01
are one two three three of these seven individuals were in their mid to early 20s so you wonder what kind of criminal
00:52:14
they would have developed into later in their lives if Timothy man committed his first horrible heinous
00:52:22
act at the age of 38 and never did anything prior which I I believe there's other things that he has other crimes
00:52:30
that he has committed right before this that maybe he just got away with or he tried to entice some juveniles or maybe
00:52:40
a failed kidnapping attempt who knows but in this situation we have several of these individuals again mid 20s to early
00:52:48
20s what kind of monster would they have turned into if they were just out on the
00:52:54
streets allowing you know being able to continue this horrific behavior and commit these crimes against children
00:53:02
where would it go for these individuals and how many victims were saved how many potential
00:53:09
victims were [Music] [Applause] saved want to thank everybody so much for listening two things that you can do
