00:03:22
thank you all right this week we find ourselves once again in the great state of Kentucky
00:03:33
Scottsville Kentucky to be more precise where we only have a little over 4 000 people per the most recent census
00:03:43
Scottsville is part of the Charlottesville metropolitan area which of course is much larger and more
00:03:49
populous we have covered several Kentucky cases in fact our man with no hands episode
00:03:56
number 534 was one of our most downloaded shows of last year 2021. now I would say it's great to be back in
00:04:07
Kentucky but if we're talking about your state and your city well then unfortunately
00:04:13
that means that something bad has happened something evil either made its way to
00:04:20
your town or something evil came out of it and in today's True Crime Story evil struck
00:04:28
in Allen County Kentucky on Saturday November 14th 2015. for one Kentucky family
00:04:38
this would mean that their lives would forever be changed for them sadly their family would never
00:04:45
be the same but this was also a crime so horrific that if forever changed an entire
00:04:52
community for the good people of Allen County this was the End of Innocence one headline simply read
00:05:03
safe feeling gone this is True Crime garage [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Saturday November 14th
00:05:24
2015. the Dolan family are at the Allen County Scottsville High School football stadium their oldest son 11 year old
00:05:33
Alec Doolin will be playing in the football game this is the end of the season All-Star youth football game
00:05:41
his younger sister seven-year-old Gabriella known to family and friends as Gabby is there as well Gabby is a
00:05:49
cheerleader and this afternoon is just two weeks shy of her eighth birthday Amy and Brian dueling are Alec and
00:05:59
Gabby's mother and father they are of course in attendance as well they're there to support and cheer for Alec and
00:06:06
Gabby now the dolans have a younger son as well his name is Jake he's just a few
00:06:11
years younger than Gabby and I'm not quite sure if he was present at the game that day or if the dolans had a
00:06:19
babysitter Gabby and some friends while at the game go up to Gabby's mother Amy asking if
00:06:26
they could go over to one of the concession stands and play over near the stands in the restrooms
00:06:32
and the Dolan said yes go ahead this is a place that they've gone to many times they've experienced this same day for
00:06:40
the entire football season time and time again and seeing the same people present
00:06:46
at the stadium as well after just a short while Gabby's two little friends well they come back and
00:06:54
they're asking the dolans about Gabby where is Gabby they explained to the dolans that they were playing a game and
00:07:01
after a while they could not find their friend well Amy and Alex sprung into action
00:07:07
walking through the crowd looking for their daughter looking for Little Gabby and asking others if they had seen the
00:07:16
little blonde cheerleader as the minutes ticked by and as their concerns were mounting
00:07:22
the dolans asked others to assist in the search pretty soon Captain nearly everyone in
00:07:29
attendance was searching for this little girl they searched the stadium the restrooms
00:07:35
and the surrounding areas this is a pretty common theme though at youth sporting events one of the kids get lost
00:07:44
and you can't find them and you find out that they're at the concession stand or
00:07:48
they were in the restroom but it's a growing concern so at halftime they're going to make an
00:07:53
announcement looking for missing Gabby yeah they have the announcer just announced to the
00:08:00
entire crowd hey little girl Gabby Doolin this announcement is for you it's now time for you to stop what you're
00:08:08
doing and return to your parents unfortunately again the minutes start ticking by and concerns continue to grow
00:08:16
and still no Gabby even after the announcement by this time we are in the seven o'clock
00:08:23
hour and it's Kentucky in November so it's dark out by this point in fact it would have started to get
00:08:31
dark in the six o'clock hour at 7 40 PM the dolans notified and requested the assistance of the local police
00:08:40
their daughter is missing and they need help to locate her and sometimes at these events they have local law
00:08:46
enforcement to act as security guards as well do you know if there's any law enforcement already on hand from my
00:08:54
understanding there was no law enforcement that was present often as you said Captain there they are signed
00:09:00
up to work extra Duty or special Duty depending on what they called in that jurisdiction and that's very common at
00:09:07
these high school football games and they are at the high school football stadium however this is a youth game and
00:09:13
I believe that it started a little earlier in the day than a typical high school football game would start right
00:09:20
and from my understanding the local law enforcement were asked hey are we going to isn't there usually law
00:09:29
enforcement at these high school football games and they they replied yes at the high school games but not at
00:09:34
these youth games we've never been asked to attend or secure one of those events
00:09:39
right so no law enforcement on site initially but they're going to join Gabby's parents in the search but
00:09:46
there's also other parents trying to help them find their child right and as we pointed out in the trailer for
00:09:53
today's show this is an area where we only have a a little over 4 000 people under 5 000 people in the population I
00:10:01
cannot imagine that law enforcement that there wasn't a patrol car nearby so when
00:10:07
they call this in at 7 40 pm it won't take law enforcement long to be on the scene and keep in mind what's
00:10:14
going on at this football game right now we still have the kids playing in this All-Star football game but now we have a
00:10:22
large chunk of the parents in attendance that are actively looking for the same little girl for Gabby Dolan right so
00:10:30
when police arrive on the scene this will give the already somewhat large search some Authority and organization
00:10:38
so we have a school a stadium and any of the Little buildings associated with the
00:10:44
stadium there's a baseball diamond and behind the football and baseball playing areas we have a heavily wooded area that
00:10:53
contains a creek which flows into a small pond all of these areas of course were
00:11:00
priority for this search now shockingly and sadly just 25 minutes after notifying the police they found
00:11:10
Gabby's lifeless body floating in that pond in the wooded area behind the football stadium
00:11:17
at 805 pm on Saturday November 14 2015 the local policing agency notified the Kentucky State Police that they had
00:11:28
recovered the body of seven-year-old Gabby Dolan she was the victim of a homicide and a kidnapping she was found
00:11:36
dead just about 400 feet from the Allen County Scottsville High School football stadium now at this point they don't
00:11:43
know the cause of death but there had to be something that directed law enforcement to spring into action and
00:11:50
view this as a homicide I think that's exactly right there Captain because we have a little girl that's found deceased
00:11:57
in a body of water there must have been something that they recognized something
00:12:03
that they spotted to change this into an immediate investigation into looking into what has happened here in this
00:12:11
situation what happened to this little girl now this next move was a smart one and a quick one
00:12:18
the police quickly corralled all of the people that were still at the stadium and again by this point it's dark out
00:12:26
the temperature is starting to drop so they take everyone into the school I believe they took them into one of the
00:12:34
larger rooms in the school so the gymnasium or the cafeteria right so once there they start asking everyone about
00:12:43
that night what did they see what did they hear did anyone see Gabby did anyone see anyone
00:12:51
with her if they saw her particularly adults are older kids with her well Gabby stuck out because she had
00:12:58
this bright almost white hair and of course they want to know did anybody see anything that they thought was unusual
00:13:06
about that evening well also it's a small town so let's do the old pervert Roundup
00:13:15
well and this is I mean this is about as sad as it gets right here her older brother Alec was still playing
00:13:23
in the football game while they're searching for Gabby and when she's found he's I don't know if this is at the end
00:13:32
of the game roughly at the time that she was found but he is basically coming off the field
00:13:39
and being told that his little sister was found dead during the course of the game that he
00:13:44
was just playing in so they take the family and they put the family in one of the locker rooms
00:13:50
kind of keeping them separate from everybody else and they're asking them of course all of the same questions that
00:13:56
they're asking their large group of people right now several people said that they had
00:14:03
witnessed Gabby and the other kids playing some kind of game maybe it was hide and seek near the concessions and
00:14:09
the restrooms several other people said that they noticed a tall white man hanging around the restroom area and
00:14:17
some said that the man caught their attention because he was acting oddly some even said that he was acting shady
00:14:23
now they didn't give specifics on what this Shady activity would be or how he was acting in the reports but this is
00:14:32
information that was relayed to the people in attendance at this football game to law enforcement shortly after
00:14:39
finding the body of this little girl the thing is here though Captain we have multiple people that are telling the
00:14:46
police the same thing right this isn't just one person that says hey I saw some guy and I thought he was a weirdo you
00:14:53
should check into him no this is multiple people saying that this guy for some reason caught their attention the
00:14:59
info I found Captain didn't offer up a better description of how the man was behaving or what exactly it was that he
00:15:06
was doing that would indicate that the man was acting shady but they did offer up a better description of the guy
00:15:14
so this guy is a tall Caucasian man with a beard he is balding and was wearing a
00:15:21
brown jacket now once this information is out to the crowd so now once this information is out to the crowd captain
00:15:28
now we start having other people saying well I spotted a man matching this description
00:15:35
these are people that were actively searching for Gabby and actively searching for Gabby once law enforcement
00:15:41
had arrived and the odd thing here is that the people that were searching for Gabby
00:15:47
says we saw this man later in the night after seeing him near the restrooms or these other people saw him near the
00:15:54
restrooms The Searchers are saying now the odd thing about him was that it looked like
00:16:00
while everybody else was looking for Gabby he appears to be leaving the area right
00:16:07
instead of joining in on the search I wish we lived in a world where we see this creep by the
00:16:13
restrooms Porta-Johns right those things stink hey buddy stop sitting around smelling
00:16:23
the fumes get out of here scream weirdo well all of our smart listeners probably already
00:16:30
know where this investigation just might go right because here we have a small rural community and a large Gathering
00:16:39
well if enough people in a small community see the same guy or description of the guy then we probably
00:16:47
are going to have someone or someone's that know the man's name or can suggest to police or even ID someone that's
00:16:56
matching this description well this also makes it harder because all these kids are coming from different teams
00:17:04
so you'd think that some of their other teammates that maybe didn't make the All-Star team would would have
00:17:11
wanted to show up to support their other teammates so it probably is a little bit
00:17:17
of a larger crowd than normally this youth football team yeah the reports I found didn't give a clear indication on
00:17:25
the number of people in attendance that night but I'm with you I'm curious to know that as well
00:17:31
well what we suspect might happen is exactly what happens here the Kentucky State Police they end up that same night
00:17:40
that same very night at the home of a Scottsdale resident this is based off of information that they collect from from
00:17:48
eyewitnesses ear Witnesses at the football game this leads them to this man and to his
00:17:56
home this is the home of 38 year old Timothy Madden he lives there with his wife and
00:18:03
five children now the police want to speak with him because they believe he could be the man that the other football
00:18:10
game attendees were were discussing with the police after the game yeah so the first question if I'm law enforcement is
00:18:17
just what are you doing at the game why were you there so this guy Timothy I guess most people in town who knew him
00:18:25
call him Timmy he's very Cooperative with the police from what I could find he tells them
00:18:33
that of course people saw him at the game that evening because he was there he doesn't deny
00:18:39
being there right he says that he even looked for the girl briefly and then went home and he goes
00:18:46
on to tell police that he knows the dolans he went to high school with Brian with the father of Gabby and they even
00:18:53
ran around together at one point he says that they were friends at one time but never really close
00:19:00
Tim says that he was there with the reports on this here vary captain and it's a little it's a little confusing to
00:19:08
me as exactly what went down but there are some reports that say that he was there with one of his children there are
00:19:16
other reports that say that he was there with two of his children remember he has
00:19:20
five kids and some of the reports state that his daughter was on the same cheer squad as Little
00:19:28
Gabby what a [ __ ] creep so Tim answers all of their questions and agrees to do whatever he can to assist
00:19:35
them for my understanding Captain this is all taking place about 2 A.M so early Sunday morning
00:19:44
Gabby is killed Saturday evening and we can see how quickly this information that they generated by interviewing all
00:19:53
these Witnesses has led them to this guy now he's being cooperative he's willing
00:19:59
to assist them in their case and offer up any information he can so he answers all their questions he
00:20:07
hands over his clothing that he was wearing when he went to the game that night he told police that after the game he
00:20:14
came home he took a bath and now he was talking to them that's that's his night went to the game came home took a bath
00:20:22
now I'm talking to you guys Tim agrees to do a DNA swab now police found some items that are
00:20:30
going to be very problematic for Tim first on his clothing that he gives to the police
00:20:37
they find what appears to be blood one spot is on one of his pant legs the other spot is on his belt buckle
00:20:47
now another item that they locate is a thread or a clothing fiber so they said that the police said that
00:20:55
they found this in the bathtub where Tim took his bath after the game and they say that this item this thread or this
00:21:03
fiber was consistent with one of the garments or some of the clothing that Gabby Dolan was wearing at the game that
00:21:11
night so we have a guy that was sticking out to other parents and other people at
00:21:16
the football Stadium were able now to identify that guy law enforcement is talking to that guy and
00:21:25
then as they're talking to him they're now collecting evidence and we're only a few hours after the murder yeah police
00:21:32
already have their first really good lead that same night that Gabby was killed now that might seem like a rarity
00:21:40
because of the types of cases that we cover here in the garage many of them in fact are cold cases
00:21:48
but outside of the garage in the cases that we have covered catching a great lead quickly isn't so uncommon a lot of
00:21:56
the big leads or heck some of these cases are even solved within 48 Hours of the crime taking
00:22:02
place that's right you might not have the case solved you might not have somebody locked up and sentenced of
00:22:10
course or even a court date scheduled but you got somebody in handcuffs Behind Bars relatively quickly in a lot of
00:22:18
these situations now as everyone can imagine the entire Community was just devastated by this senseless and violent
00:22:26
act who would do such a horrible thing and could it have been one of their own they committed this terrible act the
00:22:35
community tried their very best to support Gabby's family a vigil was held the very next day for Gabby and her
00:22:44
family an autopsy was performed by the coroner for the Kentucky State Police it was determined that Gabby was
00:22:52
strangled to death and drowned she was strangled while her head was under water within just a few days
00:23:00
the Kentucky State Police announced that they had made an arrest police announced
00:23:06
to the public that they had arrested 38-year-old Scottsville resident and father of five Timothy Madden
00:23:14
the state will be seeking an indictment of four charges kidnapping rape sodomy and murder in the
00:23:22
first degree [Music] [Applause] all right we are back cheers everybody cheers to you captain now while the
00:23:48
community was coming to the aid of the Dolan family there were also people in the community sticking up for Timothy
00:23:55
Madden as well these were family and friends that said repeatedly that Tim could not have done
00:24:01
this and that the police must have the wrong guy briefly Tim is confronted by reporters
00:24:09
this is when he is arrested and being walked to the squad car and he's asked if he has anything to say
00:24:17
to the dolans he says I'm sorry for their loss but I'm innocent later he would do a sit-down interview
00:24:24
with a local reporter this is a jailhouse interview with a local reporter during this interview Timothy once again
00:24:31
proclaims his innocence and as for the evidence against him he says that wasn't really anything or at least they
00:24:40
meaning the police have not shown him anything any evidence that they have against him yeah now we know that Gabby
00:24:48
was kidnapped and killed on Saturday night Timothy Madden was arrested the next Friday morning at 11 that morning
00:24:54
police had interviewed Timothy several times during that time period and Tim's father-in-law was one of the
00:25:02
people one of several people coming to Tim's defense Tim's father-in-law even goes on public
00:25:08
record speaking with reporters at length saying that Tim and his daughter have been married for
00:25:15
10 years and Tim has never shown any signs of violence he's never even attempted to slap his daughter or his
00:25:23
daughters never had any bruises and he's a loving father he's got children the same age as the dolans what about abuse
00:25:32
towards the children well according to the father-in-law Tim has never shown any signs of violence at all a little
00:25:39
background on Tim from my understanding he's got some very minor infractions traffic violations and I believe a theft
00:25:46
charge and maybe a theft conviction but his record doesn't show anything of violence or any type of pedophile type
00:25:56
Behavior right his father-in-law would continue with this lengthy interview with the with the reporters and he's
00:26:04
even saying you know ask anybody on this street and they're going to tell you that Tim's a good guy
00:26:11
his father-in-law says Tim cooperated by handing over his clothing he cooperated
00:26:17
with several lengthy interviews he took a polygraph test and he even he even gave them a DNA swab
00:26:26
Timothy in a jailhouse interview maintained his innocence as we said he says that he has cooperated in every
00:26:33
possible way but when the police when they find their right guy that Tim would be suing
00:26:40
one thing that is additional information from this jailhouse interview is Tim says he saw Little Gabby the night that
00:26:50
she was taken right he says he saw her playing with two other girls so this is you know accurate with what we know was
00:26:57
going on that night according to the dueling parents well High School football stadium in that surrounding
00:27:03
area is is not that large so I I would assume that the majority of the people watching that game that night
00:27:12
saw her yeah he says that he saw Gabby with two other girls and that they ran from out underneath of the bleachers
00:27:20
he said then not too long after that someone came along asking him if he had seen the little girl and he said yes and
00:27:28
pointed in a Direction saying they went that way when asked about the real killer he said that the real killer is
00:27:35
still out there and he's a bad individual he's crazy Tim says I'm innocent and I don't know
00:27:42
what evidence that they have against me they've not shown me anything well if I found myself in this situation I would
00:27:48
be uh praying that there was DNA left and and go ahead and test my DNA if I'm if
00:27:56
I'm innocent exactly that's exactly right there captain now while he's locked up and awaiting his trial in this
00:28:05
case we do have a weird situation where a a man from West Virginia reaches out to
00:28:13
the local authorities this man tells them that his son is saying that he was approached by Timothy Madden now again
00:28:23
this is in West Virginia so it's a little bit ways away here but this took place a couple months before
00:28:31
Gabby was killed and the sun Story Goes basically like this that he and a friend
00:28:39
their ages were never given in any of these reports he and a friend were at a Walmart
00:28:46
a local Walmart and they were approached by a man in a van that they said were they believed he was
00:28:55
trying to lure them into the van and the two of them they hightailed it out of there and they later reported this this
00:29:03
wasn't just being reported for the very first time they told adults that night what happened and it was reported to
00:29:11
their local authorities right now we have this man from West Virginia calling the Kentucky State Police
00:29:17
and saying hey the guy that you're showing on TV that's been arrested for this Gabby
00:29:23
Dolan thing he matches the description my son is telling me that's the man that tried to
00:29:30
get him in his van weeks ago again I'm still a supporter of uh the band the van movement of course by this time Captain
00:29:39
he's already been arrested Timothy Madden's already been arrested so they have a lot of his possessions in their
00:29:46
evidence room and one of his possessions that they have is his cell phone so they want to see if they can get
00:29:53
information off of his cell phone to put him in the area on the day and time of when this man and
00:30:01
a van approached these two boys what ends up happening here though is the cell phone that they have in their
00:30:07
possession is a air quotes loaner phone just days before Gabby was killed Timothy Madden got a loaner phone from a
00:30:19
local repair place he took his phone in to be repaired because it would not hold service he was
00:30:28
having trouble with this phone and what the phone place told him was hey we're going to have to send this off
00:30:34
to somebody else to have the issue fixed to have the issue corrected and they'll
00:30:39
send it back to us and in the meantime we're going to give you a loaner phone this loaner phone even had pictures that
00:30:44
he took while he was at the the football game that night and that's because he was sending them to relatives again one
00:30:52
or two of his children were present that night at the game the sad thing here though and where police hit a dead end
00:31:00
with this other incident that took place in West Virginia is when they talked to
00:31:05
the phone repair company they explained to police that before we sent his phone off we had to
00:31:13
wipe the phone clean before sending it off now we transferred what we could to this loaner phone and of course police
00:31:22
have already looked at this loaner phone and learned that there's nothing that they can use on this loaner phone to put
00:31:28
him in that location in West Virginia weeks before so they hit a dead end there now
00:31:38
this whole thing with Timothy Madden is very very long and drawn out what we have
00:31:45
here Captain is a situation where we're going to fight over venue where the trial will be held we're going to fight
00:31:53
over what evidence can be allowed into the trial itself there was some question you know we have
00:32:00
Timothy Madden on record stating in that jailhouse interview I've cooperated in every way that I could I handed over my
00:32:07
my clothing I did the DNA swab I've taken a lie detector test I've cooperated in every manner that they've
00:32:15
asked me but now later we have the Madden family saying look this search the the Kentucky State Police did on our
00:32:23
house that night on at two in the morning on Sunday am this they just barged into our house 20
00:32:31
officers deep and they were harassing me and they were asking me questions we weren't allowed
00:32:38
to be present in the home while they searched the home so now the Mann family is calling into question the search and
00:32:46
whatever police gathered that they're going to use against him at this trial whether it can be used or not
00:32:54
because of the manner in which they they obtained it right Kentucky State Police is have always
00:33:01
maintained that he handed over the clothing and some of these items to us well like we said earlier or like you
00:33:08
said earlier he was being really cooperative so what what a great thing to do let's
00:33:15
let me be cooperative let me uh give you pieces of evidence and then later I'll argue that I didn't give you those and
00:33:22
that you you took those well in what we learned during this process once the back and forth starts between the
00:33:30
Timothy Mann camp and Kentucky State Police and the state prosecutors what we learn here is what led to this
00:33:40
man's arrest was those blood spots the blood spots were determined to be the blood of Gabby Dolan this isn't just
00:33:50
oh this is blood it could be animal blood or human blood we don't know and then determined
00:33:57
to be human blood no they determined that this Blood belonged to the victim so how the hell did it get on his belt
00:34:03
buckle and on his pants it seems highly unlikely that he would have that evidence on him if he didn't commit the
00:34:09
murder or have involvement in the murder his defense he says well I I could have
00:34:15
brushed up against a fence or brushed up against a trash can or you know the blood could have got onto my pants
00:34:22
in some other way this whole trial stuff takes forever captain forever there's again they're trying to change the venue
00:34:31
they're questioning what evidence can be allowed in we also have a situation where Timothy Madden is changing counsel
00:34:40
this whole process gets drawn out over 1400 days it's actually over 1430 days wow go by from the time that he is
00:34:50
arrested until the time that we finally get this thing resolved because what ends up happening is
00:34:59
we have the coroner who took a rape kit on our victim and found suspect DNA on the victim
00:35:08
and of course when they ran those tests they have evidence they have scientific proof that he raped and killed this girl
00:35:18
it's his DNA so not only do they have the victim's blood on the perpetrators clothing we also have
00:35:27
his DNA on the victim got him so pretty open and shut case should be well what happens here is we
00:35:36
end up in a plea agreement so Timothy Madden is going to plead guilty to murder and kidnapping
00:35:45
and he is agreed to give an Alfred plea in the rape and sodomy charge and this is complete Bizarro but he says
00:35:56
that he wants to do the Alfred plea because it's basically a a no contest he's saying I didn't do that but I can't
00:36:03
defend myself he's saying that he's insisting on giving the Alfred plea for the rape and
00:36:09
the sodomy charge because he didn't want his family to think any less of him which I don't that's not possible
00:36:16
Timothy that's that would not be possible for anybody to think any less of you the other Bizarro thing in this
00:36:24
situation here Captain is the Madden family as well as some of the people in the community up until he pled guilty
00:36:33
seem to there is a good percentage of people that really thought that he might be innocent and part of that was that
00:36:39
they questioned the very quick turnaround in the blood evidence that was found it only took three days to
00:36:45
find the blood send it off for testing get the results back and confirm that it was their victim well so many people are
00:36:52
messed up by this CSI syndrome hey here's the blood sample take it down the hall and come back in about 10 minutes
00:37:00
and tell me the results this it's the opposite oh there's no way they're able to do it that fast right they must have
00:37:07
planted evidence is what some people suspected his son ended up in all kinds of trouble too remember he's got five
00:37:14
kids one of his sons ended up in all kinds of trouble because again this was about four years from the time that this
00:37:22
little girl was killed till the time that his the case against Timothy Madden is adjudicated
00:37:28
that's a long period of time and during that period of time his son was sending off like written threats uh this would
00:37:36
be email and phone calls I believe to the Kentucky State Police where he's threatening them claiming that they have
00:37:43
got the wrong guy not only that that they planted evidence against his father and he ends up getting in trouble
00:37:49
himself for these threats he gets charged for these threats that he's making now what will end up happening is
00:37:57
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
00:38:05
kept a lot of this information close to the vest they they kept a lot of hold back information in this case and still
00:38:12
have and because we didn't have an actual trial a lot of those details didn't come
00:38:18
out and I do want to give a little Kudos here as well while we're at it here Captain to uh Chris Conte who did
00:38:25
gangbusters work on covering this case he's a reporter and I want to give him some major Kudos because
00:38:33
he tweeted he was at the the sentencing hearing and he said look I know there's a lot of
00:38:41
people covering or following the The Gabby Doolin case and I've been covering it in the papers
00:38:48
and I know you're looking to me for information but I'm not going to be tweeting out details about her rape and
00:38:56
murder that I'm hearing in court today because they're just far too graphic and it's nothing that anybody needs to read
00:39:05
or hear if they're not present in the courtroom today so good for him to do the right thing
00:39:12
you know we have some situations where people just want to sell some papers and get their name out there and Chris Conti
00:39:19
did did the opposite did the right thing in this situation at the sentencing hearing though one
00:39:25
thing that was released from this again very few details because there's no actual trial but
00:39:33
the the duelans were able to give a victim impact statement and Gabby's mother Amy would be giving
00:39:41
that Victim Impact statement in the middle of telling the court everyone in the room the judge the the
00:39:50
the plaintiff the defendants the prosecution everybody in the court she's telling them what Gabby was to her
00:40:01
who Gabby was their daughter and how they loved her from the minute that they knew that she was pregnant and from the
00:40:10
minute that that little girl was born how the Father Brian Dolan was just he was wrapped around her little finger
00:40:18
and how much this little girl meant meant to them and she didn't even get to see her eighth birthday and during the
00:40:24
course of this very powerful very moving very emotional impact statement by The Grieving mother of the murder victim
00:40:35
Timothy Mann's attorney starts talking to Timothy Madden well Brian Dolan had enough he stood up he pointed to the
00:40:44
attorney and he said look this is the most disrespectful thing I have ever witnessed we have waited four years
00:40:54
for this moment we have waited four years and you can't give my wife three minutes
00:41:01
of your time so that the perpetrator the murderer can hear the impact that this has had on our family
00:41:09
you're you are talking to your client and by the way you're you're the defense I believe he
00:41:17
was a public defender so paid by the taxpayers you got a whole room full of taxpayers
00:41:23
yeah paid to be a piece of [ __ ] well this erupts into to infighting within the courtroom and we have this is one
00:41:33
thing that that completely I mean this case is horrible and shocking of course but one thing that I cannot get over
00:41:39
that that that just shocks the hell out of me is even during this sentencing hearing where this man has already said
00:41:47
look I'm pleading guilty to murder and kidnapping I kidnapped and murdered this little girl and I made a plea deal to
00:41:55
take the death penalty off of the table and I'm making sure that I get life without parole because I'm such a coward
00:42:01
that I kill children and I can't face the consequences we already know that to be the situation
00:42:09
some of the idiots in the Madden family are still kind of sticking by this dude right where when Brian Dolan gets up and
00:42:16
starts yelling at his Defender as public defender one of the you know we have the judge
00:42:22
who's saying you know quiet down Mr Dolan you know Order in the Court one of the idiots in the Madden family
00:42:30
goes lock him up lock him up lock up Brian Dolan it's it's aggravating so they had to clear
00:42:38
the courtroom and they took a recess and they came back and Amy Dolan was able to
00:42:43
give her impact statement and as said Timothy Madden was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole I'm
00:42:51
sure that there are people in the community and I'm sure that there may even be people in the dueling family
00:42:55
that wish that they would have got that death penalty it's it's bittersweet of course
00:43:01
uh your victory in court that day when he finally pled guilty and finally admitted to what he did
00:43:09
but it I think that it was the right outcome because now at least fortunately the dolans and the state of Kentucky
00:43:16
don't have to face all these additional appeals and during that appeal process you also open up yourselves to
00:43:24
him possibly finding a loophole or technicality that would end up changing his sentence or or
00:43:32
getting him a new trial but but hasn't he made statements in prison saying that he's innocent he's
00:43:40
continued to to say that he was innocent even after he pled guilty I mean that's
00:43:45
let's see I'm gonna uh judge I'm gonna plead guilty but uh I'm innocent of the crimes yeah he still
00:43:53
says that uh I don't know if he still says that to this day but but shortly after the sentence of life without the
00:44:00
possibility of parole was handed down he was still proclaiming his innocence so the man family wants to paint the
00:44:07
picture that the Kentucky State Police are are terrible people and it's a terrible agency and that they I guess
00:44:14
they planted evidence or collected evidence illegally against this man from everything I've reviewed I don't see any
00:44:20
of that I see I see a really good uh State policing agency that in this situation did a really good job pulling
00:44:30
together all of their good people pulling together all of their resources and putting together a case really
00:44:35
quickly against a horrible horrible individual now after Timothy Mann was convicted in this case
00:44:45
there were some some really awesome web sleuthers uh shout out to the web sleuthing
00:44:51
Community there right they came forward and said hey there's this unsolved abduction and murder of a little girl
00:44:58
from 1996. and this is the abduction and murder of Morgan violi she she was abducted in July of 96 and
00:45:11
the Bowling Green Kentucky area and her body was recovered in October of 1996 and White House Tennessee
00:45:22
now what these web sleuthors are pointing out there was a witness to the abduction so they have a composite
00:45:30
sketch and what these web sleuthors are saying is that Timothy Madden you know his his picture from 1996
00:45:40
doesn't look terribly unlike the composite sketch in this other case matches the description yeah and if
00:45:48
anybody wants to look up some more information on that case Mike Van Dyke is the sheriff in Robertson County
00:45:55
Tennessee and they have information on that case Morgan violi on their website which is
00:46:03
robertsonsheriff.com you're innocent until proven guilty when evidence starts piling up against these individuals
00:46:13
I don't understand why they keep protecting them and we see this in so many cases and especially in cases where
00:46:24
the victims are children I mean look at Delphi the cops have been saved for five years
00:46:33
that somebody knows something and they need to come forward and tell law enforcement that
00:46:40
it's if you're not coming forward and telling law enforcement this evidence then you're protecting a child murderer
00:46:51
a child rapist what kind of person does that make you I just don't understand it I it doesn't
00:47:01
it wouldn't matter if it was a close friend it wouldn't matter if it was a family member it wouldn't matter
00:47:08
if it was my own father if there was evidence out there that started pointing towards the fact that like I said
00:47:20
somebody close to me was guilty of such a heinous crime I'm not protecting them at that point
00:47:28
I'm burning them on the cross myself that's a very Mad World well after the sentencing
00:47:36
hearing the only issued statement by the duelen family was that the that everybody remember Gabby and one thing
00:47:47
that I do think is great is that Kentucky law enforcement certainly has remembered Gabby Doolin in fact they put
00:47:54
together what was later called operation Gabby and this is when members of the United States Secret Service the United
00:48:03
States Attorney Russell Coleman Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron and the
00:48:10
leadership of other internet crimes against children task force announced several arrests that they made during
00:48:17
this operation Gabby Doolin they arrested seven men that were arrested and charged and
00:48:25
this is a focus on getting these these Predators off of the streets will get them before they can get more
00:48:35
victims and I mean this is uh this should be happening you know all these cases you know put some research
00:48:43
and to get it like you said uh they're basically setting up sting operations you know like Catch a Predator
00:48:50
this task force might have saved uh many lives and many other victims yeah most of these individuals were charged with
00:49:00
juvenile enticement type of charges or child pornography charges internet related charges but one thing I
00:49:09
want to point out here of the seven people that are listed in this article there are
00:49:16
one two three three of these seven individuals were in their mid to early twenties
00:49:25
so you wonder what kind of criminal they would have developed into later in their
00:49:30
lives if Timothy Madden committed his first horrible heinous act at the age of 38 and never did anything
00:49:38
prior which I I believe there's other things that he is other crimes that he has committed right
00:49:45
before this that maybe he just got away with or he and tried to entice some juveniles or maybe a failed kidnapping
00:49:55
attempt who knows but in this situation we have several of these individuals again mid-20s to early 20s what kind of
00:50:03
monster would they have turned into if they were just out on the streets allowing you know being able to continue
00:50:10
this horrific behavior and commit these crimes against children where would it go for these individuals and how many
00:50:19
victims were saved how many potential victims were saved [Music] [Applause] [Music]
