0:00
I just think that whoever did this is just has to be soulless I mean even can
0:05
even be a human being Kelsey Turner was living the dream or so it seemed as a
0:11
former Playboy Italia model with a lavish social media presence she appeared to have it all including Beauty
0:18
Fame and luxury but behind the Glamorous facade was a life spiraling out of
0:23
control one that was fueled by Financial struggles toxic relationships and
0:28
dangerous manipulation ations it turns out that her extravagant lifestyle was actually being paid for by a Dr Thomas
0:36
bashard a well resected child psychologist who had been financially supporting her for several years but
0:43
when he decided to cut her off well let's just say that she was not all too
0:49
happy about it and so when he suddenly vanished in March of 2019 his actual
0:55
partner had a very strong suspicion so what happened to thas was Kelsey to
1:01
blame why was she known as the bad Barbie and how would this horrible story
1:08

1:51
Turner welcome back to California folks a place that all of us are familiar with
1:57
now Although our case today will end up in Las Vegas we're starting in the Lesser known city of Selenas which is
2:04
found South of San Francisco and along the coastline with its close proximity to the ocean this mild and tempered City
2:11
benefits from cool Coastal winds and a slow pace of life but rather surprisingly the city of Selenas Bears a
2:19
higher crime and homicide rate when compared to almost all other Californian
2:24
cities many people seem to blame gang activity but I'm wondering maybe it's
2:29
got something to do with the heat it is worth noting here that violent crime rate has declined by 75% since 2015 so
2:38
maybe the council is doing something right gang crime had long been the usual suspect in the city of 163,000 residents
2:47
murders were rarely shocking here and just another tragic footnote in the ongoing struggle between Waring factions
2:54
but whenever a well-liked and innocent person was murdered that would often become Talk of the Town so when in March
3:02
of 2019 that the word spread that one of their own had been found dead 450 miles
3:08
away it was bound to capture people's attention it All Began on the morning of March the 7th when Las Vegas Police
3:15
received a phone call from a worried citizen who happened to come across a rather concerning scene the caller who
3:22
was a lone driver passing through the lake me National recreational area which can be found 30 km east of the city
3:29
spotted something unsettling it was off a Dusty stretch of State Route 147 that
3:35
an abandoned car sat eerily still in the Morning Light the vehicle which was
3:40
later identified to be a blue Mercedes-Benz C300 was not the kind of
3:45
vehicle one would expect to be randomly discarded in the middle of nowhere something felt strangely off about this
3:53
and so after hesitating to make the phone call Instinct finally told him that something wasn't right and he
3:59
should called the Emergency Services responding officers arrived at the remote scene unsure of what they might
4:05
find but as described they would discover a Mercedes that sat haphazardly
4:11
along the roadside its glossy surface dulled by a layer of dust which had probably settled in the recent days one
4:18
of its Windows had been shattered and a rock which lay nearby was an ominous
4:23
potential clue approaching with caution the officers peered inside the seats
4:28
were empty and little was left behind however as their search continued a
4:34
feeling of unease settled over them the air suddenly seemed to be thick and
4:39
oppressive and then it hit them it was the unmistakable scent of death a foul
4:45
odor which was seeping from the trunk left very little doubt about what they would uncover and so with a deep breath
4:52
they decided to lift the lid and that is when the suspicions were sadly confirmed
4:57
inside lay the body of an old a man likely in his 60s or 70s and partially
5:03
wrapped in bed sheets even from the outset there was no question he had long
5:08
been dead beside his body officers discovered Blood Stained bath towels latex gloves a
5:15
set of house keys and what appeared to be his clothing further examination of the crime scene would reveal that this
5:21
man had likely died from blunt force trauma to the head in addition to this he had defensive wounds over his hands
5:28
and his arms suggesting there was likely some kind of struggle it was also determined that he was already dead
5:34
before being placed in the trunk and at least at some point along the way he was also in the back seat now this was
5:40
undoubtedly a homicide but the crime scene itself left far more questions than answers I mean they knew how he
5:47
died but why was he here who was he what were the reasonings behind his murder
5:53
and who were the culprits well mysterious details aside it wouldn't take long for officers to learn the
5:59
answers to two of these questions and then in time the rest would follow the first step for investigators was
6:06
identifying who this man in the trunk was naturally they started with the most
6:11
traceable piece of evidence that being the blue Mercedes-Benz running the license plates through their system they
6:18
found that the car was registered to someone only known as Quang however after diving into this profile they
6:24
realized that his contact information was available and so after reaching out to to him it was revealed that the
6:31
vehicle had been subleased to a woman named Kelsey Turner someone who had seemed to be in possession of this
6:37
vehicle since November the year prior however there was one more intriguing
6:42
detail the car payments were not made by Quang or by Kelsey instead they seemed
6:48
to be coming directly from a man named Dr Thomas bashard a resident of Selena
6:53
California which was hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas to make things even
6:58
stranger after running Thomas's name through their own records They quickly found a missing person's report in an
7:04
ongoing case and that's because only a few days prior he had been reported as missing by his long-term partner Judy
7:12
ear it was Judy herself who had soon confirm their worst suspicions because
7:17
after being shown the recovered body she responded with horror and Devastation all that was left of Thomas her beloved
7:24
partner of 17 years was this messed up body he had been violently murdered murdered and then left in the desert and
7:31
she had a very horrible suspicion as to why a California physician is found dead
7:39
in Las Vegas in the trunk of a car Dr Thomas Kirk Berard was found on State
7:44
Route 147 near the lake me recreational area back on March 7th the 71-year-old
7:50
from Selenas died from blunt force injuries to his head 8 news now reporter Sally hero joins us live and Sally you

Judy herb says he came to to Las Vegas on Friday March 1st and was supposed to return home on March 4th my last
8:35
communications with him was that he had look forward to coming home on Monday after trying to reach him she found it
8:41
strange that his phone was turned off Monday I went to the airport and he
8:46
didn't return home he wasn't on the plane at all and then I knew something something was wrong it wasn't a lost
8:54
just a lost phone or you know Miss flight she checked with his secret and
9:00
heard nothing then she filed a missing person's report her says his death is a
9:05
shock to all who knew him it's been devastating for the community the entire Community you know he was so devoted to
9:11
his patience you know he you he was 71 years old and he didn't want to retire
9:17
Dr brashard is described as a generous person with both his time and money we've been together for 17 years um he
9:26
helped me raise my four children who are now all adults you know he was he was just you know really devoted you know
9:34
Family Man her hopes whoever did this will be caught soon and brought to Justice I just think that whoever did
9:40
this is just has to be soulless I mean even can't even be a human being Dr
9:46
brashard worked with monage health in a statement Community Health of the Monterey Peninsula spokeswoman Mary
9:53
Baker said quote Dr bashard was a psychiatrist in our behavioral health program for almost 40 years and was very
10:00
helpful to many patients it's a very sad situation and our hearts go out to his family friends patients and colleagues
10:06
we are notifying his patience and providing grief counseling for staff reporting live s har 8 news
10:13
now at the time of his death Dr Thomas bashard was 71 years old it was in 2002
10:20
that Thomas moved to Selenas with Judy they met and fell in love with each other only one year after his previous
10:26
divorce a divorce as it would soon turn out will become relevant later in this
10:31
story now Thomas was more than just a name in his community as a child
10:36
psychologist he had a very easygoing nature and a gift for putting others at
10:41
ease his patience really did seem to adore him he would entertain them with magic tricks and jokes and would bring
10:48
Comfort to families navigating through difficult times it's no surprise to learn that his caring demeanor and his
10:54
dedication to his field made him a very well respected doctor not only that but he truly loved his work almost as much
11:02
as his patients appreciated him after four decades at the community hospital of the montree peninsula retirement
11:09
seemed to loom on the horizon for him but you see Thomas was not the type to simply walk away and so he instead
11:16
transitioned to a 4-day work week so that he could ensure his patients could continue receiving the treatment they
11:22
needed for as long as they wanted him with more free time he could finally enjoy life outside of work not only
11:30
spending more time with Judy but indulging in frequent trips to Las Vegas and other places across the country
11:36
between the two of them they would sometimes attend medical conferences but other times they would simply enjoy what
11:43
the city had to offer it was on Friday the 1st of March 2019 that Thomas bashad
11:48
booked another flight to Las Vegas but this time he would be traveling alone now the reason for visiting this time
11:56
had nothing to do with Judy and instead he was planning to meet up with another woman but before we go jumping to any
12:03
conclusions there is one important thing to note here and that is that Judy was
12:08
fully aware of this woman's existence as it turns out their relationship was far
12:13
more complicated than it seemed we'll dive into that in just a moment with
12:19
this being a short weekend trip Thomas was scheduled to return home the following Monday on March the 4th and by
12:25
the way this trip was not sexually or romantically charged and was strictly formalities nothing unusual or so he and
12:34
Judy thought but by the time March the 3D rolled around and Tom was nowhere to be found at the airport's arrival Gates
12:41
well Judy she seriously began to worry Judy already found it quite strange that he hadn't messaged her the day prior but
12:49
for Tom to not message or call her on the day of his return well that was extremely out of character however there
12:55
were several less than obvious reasons why this could have happened you see Judy believed that Tom was likely in the
13:01
early stages of dementia and so this could easily explain why he had seldom been in contact with her in the days
13:07
prior you see it is worth noting here that apparently Tom had messaged her the day prior but in Judy's words it didn't
13:14
sound like him whatsoever and apparently his vocabulary was quite thug-like and
13:19
with many of these recent messages sounding rather uneducated which definitely wasn't like Thomas at all she
13:25
believed that maybe someone was trying to pretend to be him in response to this disappearance Judy decided to call Las
13:32
Vegas Police and request a wellness check not only for Thomas himself but also the woman he'd arranged to meet and
13:39
that woman's name was Kelsey Turner a name which you may recognize as the person that blew Mercedes was leased
13:47
to at least to the investigators this case seems to be solving itself the
13:53
pieces of the puzzle were there now it was just a matter of putting them all together anyway the next step did seem
14:00
quite obvious and that was uncovering the connection between Thomas bashard and a woman named Kelsey Turner quite
14:07
eager to assist in finding out what had happened to him Judy was fully Cooperative with all leading
14:13
investigators it was through these efforts that she revealed everything she knew about his relationship with Kelsey
14:19
at least from her perspective and so with that said let's dive into the disappointing world of Kelsey Turner
14:26
when detectives looked into her profile they realized that Kelsey was a 25-year-old single mother who was living
14:33
in Las Vegas born on May the 5th 1993 to her parents Samantha and Christopher
14:39
Ingram she made the move from Norfolk Virginia to Jonesboro Arkansas in her childhood it was there she remained
14:46
throughout her college Years where she studied at Arkansas State University where she was known to be quite the
14:52
hotthead but also nothing special I'd like to emphasize that primarily because
14:57
despite her overinflated ego she really was nothing special during her studies
15:03
and like many other young women of her generation Kelsey started to build a social media presence but as it turns
15:10
out her true passion was not actually in academics but in modeling instead and so
15:16
after graduating she made the decision to move to Selena California in pursuit of a career as a pinup model and in time
15:25
that Pursuit surprisingly paid off or at least my orally for a while with
15:30
striking features like golden blonde hair and seemingly Flawless skin Kelsey fit the mold of what modeling agencies
15:37
looked for as a result she landed a string of small gigs primarily for local adult magazines you can still find her
15:45
on Instagram by the way where her pictures show off the exact kind of person she really is branding herself as
15:52
the bad Barbie you can find many risky photos of her lying on beds taking drugs
15:57
and even showing off her bun through her online career she had amassed more than
16:02
115,000 followers and it does seem that throughout these efforts she even managed to grab a few sponsorships too
16:10
however as her ambition grew she began to feel too small for her aspirations
16:15
and so what would her next destination be well it was Las Vegas of course while
16:22
there Kelsey's career began to build traction and she steadily built a name for herself where she would even secure
16:28
high profile modeling jobs in Brands like 110 and Maxim however her most notable feature came in the year 2017
16:36
when she would Grace the pages of Playboy Italia with this newfound exposure Kelsey's online presence would
16:43
naturally Skyrocket by 2019 her Instagram had amassed over 100,000
16:49
followers many of which who eagerly watched her as she immersed herself in the Las Vegas nightlife which included
16:55
her walking on red carpets and even giving glimpses into her glamorous if not provocative work but while Kelsey
17:02
had no shortage of admirers her personal life was unfortunately far from Picture
17:07
Perfect she did have her fair share of short-term Partners but of course looks
17:12
are not everything and unfortunately the men that she attracted would often turn out to be rather problematic take her
17:20
partner Greg for example Kelsey and Greg had dated each other after she moved to
17:25
Las Vegas and although they would have a son together the relationship would not last it wasn't hard to see why because
17:33
in January of 2019 Greg was arrested on charges of strangulation and domestic
17:38
battery we can only imagine the type of relationship they had before that ended
17:43
but of course once it did Kelsey was finally free to raise her son all on her
17:48
own after splitting up from Greg Kelsey then rented a house in Las Vegas where she lived with her mother and her young
17:55
son however as the year 2019 progressed she found herself spending less and less
18:01
time in that house instead she rented a separate apartment with two other roommates that being her new boyfriend
18:08
John Logan Kennison and a close friend named Diana Pina and by the way it is
18:13
worth noting here that both JN and Diana would soon play key roles in this unfolding story despite the success that
18:20
Kelsey once enjoyed her modeling career slowly began to stall and although she had landed that gig with Playboy Italia
18:27
it did not lead to any sort of Financial stability no surprise but it was soon after this that she began to struggle to
18:33
pay her bills financially support her son or maintain that luxurious lifestyle she had grown used to so what's a bright
18:40
and well-rounded person supposed to do in a situation like this maybe buckle up find a reliable job and think about
18:46
long-term development well yes but we're talking about Kelsey Turner here so this
18:51
wasn't going to happen and unfortunately that is where our dear friend Dr Thomas bashard enters the picture
19:00
now according to Judy who was fully aware of their communication Tom had met Kelsey online they then began to
19:07
exchange messages forming a connection that from the outside seemed transactional in nature while no one
19:14
could say for certain what their relationship truly entailed all signs pointed towards Thomas being Kelsey's
19:20
so-called sugar daddy an older man providing financial support to a younger woman in exchange for companionship and
19:28
although sugar daddies do often look for something more than just conversations it honestly doesn't look like Thomas
19:34
ever stepped over that boundary he seemed to be more like a therapist instead in their emails Kelsey would
19:41
often confide in Tom telling him about how much she was struggling as a young mother without much money it is quite
19:48
evident that she would paint a picture of desperation one that seemingly played on Thomas's generous nature and would
19:55
often manipulate him into providing financial support and despite any opinions on the dynamic between the two
20:01
of them there was one thing that was very clear here Thomas with this ever Compassionate Heart really did want to
20:09
help it is worth highlighting here how charitable Thomas was in other areas of his life too I mean the poor guy would
20:16
literally perform magic tricks where he would turn a dollar bill into $100 bills and then let the person keep it
20:23
according to Judy he was always trying to help people and would listen to anyone with a sad story story and of
20:29
course because of that there were some people who would take advantage of him so do you remember the home that she
20:35
rented for herself her son and her mother and how about the other apartment that she rented with her two roommates
20:42
well as it turns out both of them were actually financed by Thomas the $3,200
20:48
per month for the house was paid directly out of his bank account and records show that he had paid for this
20:55
for at least a year tallying it up that is more than 30 $8,000 and unfortunately that is not all
21:03
of it either as you can imagine after 17 years together Judy had a pretty good
21:08
insight into Tom's finances it was well known that Tom was very financially well
21:14
off but when she told the authorities that he had spent over $300,000 on Kelsey over the
21:21
years well they were Gob smacked it turns out that Tom had actually been
21:26
doing this with other women too and throughout multiple decades he would meet many beautiful young women online
21:33
make them his sugar babies and then shower them with money and Gifts in exchange for their attention which quite
21:39
understandably would be the downfall of his marriage and divorce in the year 2001 fully aware of his arrangement with
21:46
Kelsey Judy chose to view it through a more charitable lens I mean to be honest
21:52
this was not the first time that tomama decided to help someone who is in need however the big difference is that
21:59
unlike the others Kelsey was a master manipulator and she had learned to exploit his empathy and his kindness for
22:05
her own benefit there was always a crisis with her bills that needed paying the looming threat of eviction or even
22:12
medicine that her son apparently couldn't go without Tom's and Kelsey's relationship was complicated and
22:19
unconventional to say the least what began as a simple Financial agreement had over time evolved into something far
22:27
more Tangled with Tom becoming increasingly emotionally invested and Kelsey becoming increasingly dependent
22:35
but let's highlight the most important woman in his life here and of course I'm talking about Judy and she had had
22:42
enough in light of all of this that was going on she desperately urged Tom to cut Kelsey off with his
22:48
generosity going too far and Kelsey taking advantage of him his finances were almost entirely drained at this
22:55
point leaving very little for him his own retirement or even his actual partner Judy now Tom resisted at first
23:03
claiming that Kelsey had recently told him that she was being abused by her current boyfriend she told him that she
23:09
had no money to escape and nowhere to go and whether it was guilt concern or a
23:15
mixture of both Tom felt responsible for her well-being but eventually he agreed
23:20
that it was probably time to end their Arrangement however before cutting ties completely he wanted to see the
23:27
situation for himself to know for sure that Kelsey was not as desperate as she
23:32
claimed and so as we know he then booked a flight for March the first and intended to meet Kelsey in person to
23:39
deliver the bad news sadly that would end in a dramatic tragedy the following
23:45
day after arriving in Las Vegas Tom called Judy absolutely Furious what he
23:51
found was not at all what Kelsey had described she wasn't struggling she wasn't desperate and she wasn't even
23:58
been living fulltime with her mother and son and as far as he could tell there were no signs of abuse either he had
24:05
been lied to and of course that made him extremely upset the last message that he
24:10
had sent back home to Judy was I had to check things out for myself Kelsey is a
24:16
consumate liar and well the next thing that Judy
24:21
knew is that Thomas had missed his return flight after telling Kelsey that he was going to cut her off and as we
24:27
know that is when she called the authorities and asked for a wellness check police officers arrived at
24:32
Kelsey's home on March the 5th which evidently would be 2 days before Tom's body was found however without a warrant
24:39
the police were not able to enter the property and guess what but nobody was home they did however peer through the
24:46
windows and they recognized that the home was basically empty and haphazardly cleaned by the way it was also noted
24:53
that the back windows were left wide open and the front door was unlocked however no warrant means no warrant
24:59
personally I would have just gone in and taken a look now according to the landlord Thomas had already paid rent up
25:04
front from December 2018 right the way through to June 2019 meaning there was still 3 months left on the property so
25:12
yeah it was quite strange when officers arrived to see the property empty but way ahead of schedule of course none of
25:18
this made any sense to anyone that was until Thomas' body was found with Tom's
25:24
body now discovered officers had probable cause to enter the residence a sweep of the property confirmed that no
25:30
one was home at the time neither Kelsey her family nor her boyfriend John
25:35
however a more comprehensive search revealed many signs of a violent confrontation for example one of the
25:42
interior doors had been broken in half and there were blood stains marked all over the walls and Floors furthermore
25:48
forensic analysis identified fingerprints belonging to Kelsey John and Diana and Scattered throughout the
25:54
home were cleaning supplies which clearly provided evidence of a hasty but incomplete attempt to erase the traces
26:01
of what had happened meanwhile in the bathroom investigators found bath towels which were identical to those recovered
26:08
from Tom's body and among the personal belongings Left Behind they uncovered a notebook belonging to the doctor himself
26:15
inside the notebook was a chilling insight into the power dynamic between Tom and Kelsey according to his writings
26:22
Kelsy had at times tried to blackmail him threatening him that if he didn't pay her money on a regular basis then
26:29
she would spread false accusations about him owning illegal material involving miners to his friends family and
26:35
workplace to be clear here an extensive forensic investigation found no evidence
26:40
to support Kelsey's claims and her accusations are at least to the best of their knowledge entirely fabricated but
26:48
for a well-respected child psychologist to have even the mere suggestion of such allegations well that would have been
26:55
absolutely devastating and so with these grim discoveries there was one question
27:00
on everybody's mind where had Kelsey disappeared to neighbors reported seeing
27:05
Kelsey John and Diana leaving the property on March the 6th however nobody had spotted them since then which did
27:12
further suggest that they had deliberately fled the crime scene it was at that moment that investigators turned
27:17
to Kelsey's second apartment in hopes for a clue but as expected it was also
27:23
abandoned offering no indication of to where they may have gone detective's best chance at tracking the fugitives
27:29
was via phone records which the authorities thankfully gained access to on March the 12th cell phone data
27:35
revealed that Tom's phone had gone silent on March the 3D while Kelsey John and Diana's phones had all left the
27:41
property together on March the 6th this further suggesting that Tom had likely been killed sometime between those
27:50
dates in the days that followed police officers launched a Manhunt for Kelsey John and Diana but despite their best
27:57
efforts the trio had vanished and when I say vanished I quite literally mean vanished because there were no signs of
28:03
them anywhere the police they had no idea where to look or how to find them but surprisingly the next breakthrough
28:10
in this case came from a rather unexpected Source because only a few days later it would be Diana herself
28:16
that walked right into a police station now you might be wondering why she decided to do this was it perhaps a
28:22
tactical decision and well the answer is yes now obviously she had come in to admit that yes she was part of Thomas's
28:29
murder but she would also try to cooperate with the officers in return for leniency and so with that said the
28:36
whole story to Thomas bad's final trip to Sin City slowly began to unfold it
28:41
was on March the 2nd that Diana first met Tom she had just finished her bartending shift and had asked Kelsey
28:48
for a ride home however when the blue Mercedes pulled up she realized that it was not Kelsey behind the wheel but the
28:55
doctor instead with Thomas being unfamiliar with the City he then handed his phone to Kelsey and asked her to
29:01
pull up Google Maps however instead of helping him with directions she had other plans instead it was in that
29:08
moment that she violated his privacy by scrolling through his text messages and that is when she made an unexpected
29:15
Discovery there were messages between Tom and her mother now before jumping to conclusions these messages were not
29:22
volatile in the slightest the only reason Thomas had messaged Kelsey's mother is because he was actually
29:28
concerned about her lifestyle Not only was he worried about the drinking and the drugs but also her son's well-being
29:35
but with Kelsey being Kelsey rather than appreciating his concern she erupted in Fury instead Thomas insisted that he was
29:42
acting out of care but also could not ignore the role that both drugs and alcohol had played in her life meanwhile
29:49
Diana sat and watched in the back seat as the argument escalated he didn't understand why Kelsey was becoming so
29:56
angry over these facts as he was was only trying to help he further said that he loved her but not the drugs but
30:03
rather than facing her own shortcomings she became even more enraged instead screaming at him and accusing him of
30:09
betrayal before eventually beginning to hit and slap him once they arrived at
30:15
the house Kelsey's boyfriend John worsened the situation now remember but
30:20
Kelsey had previously told Thomas that Jon was being abusive towards her a claim that was never actually proven
30:27
however on the other side there was one thing that was clear here neither Kelsey nor JN was happy about their free
30:34
lifestyle suddenly coming to an end in a panic Tom retreated to the guest bedroom
30:40
but Kelsey who was clearly still fuming turned to JN instead and ordered him to
30:45
quote knock Thomas out Jon stormed into the bedroom and attacked Thomas with a
30:50
baseball bat meanwhile Diana who was horrified managed to pull Jon away from him who had now seen the old man
30:58
tragically collapsed to the floor She begged them to take him to the hospital and so to calm her down JN and Kelsey
31:04
agreed to load Tomas into the back of the Mercedes where they then promised to find a doctor it was in this moment that
31:11
Tom weakly turned to Diana and said you know they're going to kill me don't you
31:16
in response Kelsey and John told Dina to go upstairs and clean up the mess in the bedroom and as she walked away she
31:23
overheard Kelsey telling Jon to quote finish the job after hearing a loud
31:29
noise Diana rushed downstairs only to see Jon with a gun in his hand the weapon was already covered in blood as
31:36
was John Kelsey then looked at Diana and coldly said he's dead although no shots
31:43
were fired Thomas had essentially been pistol whipped to death in light of the news Diana quite understandably went
31:50
numb without thinking she then walked into the kitchen and began to wash the dishes her mind currently unable to
31:57
process what had just happened meanwhile Jon stuffed Thomas's body into the trunk
32:02
of the Mercedes before then taking off and abandoning the car and the body in the desert back at home Kelsey and Diana
32:10
scrubbed away any evidence of the crime scene and then when John returned the three of them fled the
32:17
area however this Guild would slowly Gore away at Diana and although she
32:22
initially did escape with the couple she eventually convinced them to let her go and as soon as she was set free she then
32:29
handed herself in to the authorities with the whole story now known by the police The Manhunt for Kelsey and John
32:36
intensified the two did a very good job at maintaining radio silence for well over a week but on March the 21st 2019
32:45
and following a tip off from police officers in Stockton Kelsey Turner was finally arrested and then taken back to
32:51
Las Vegas where she was then thrown into a cell and would have to await trial Playboy model has been arrested in the
32:57
case of a California psychiatrist who was murdered in Las Vegas earlier this month police arrested 25-year-old Kelsey
33:03
Turner for the death of Dr Thomas bashard his body found March 7th in a car near the entrance of Lake me
33:10
National Recreation Center the coroner revealed that bashard had been bludgeoned to death it's been
33:16
devastating it really it it has it's the worst nightmare ever I hope nobody ever
33:23
has to go through this I wouldn't wish it on my wor a Turner faces one count of murder she reportedly worked as a model
33:29
and appeared in Playboy Maxim magazine John was eventually found too and with all three now in custody the prosecutors
33:37
could finally build their case against them and although the story did seem to be rather obvious it is quite funny to
33:43
learn that all three of them denied any involvement whatsoever however moving into the legal proceedings of this case
33:50
this was all due to change unfortunately the co pandemic and um other things
33:56
created many delays and I say other things because it turns out that Kelsey would then go on to give birth during
34:03
her stay in jail however after 3 years of delays Tom's family and his loved
34:09
ones would finally find Justice first to be sentenced was their roommate Diana
34:14
who as we know turned herself in and cooperated with the police she pleaded
34:19
not guilty to murder and instead guilty to being an accessory to murder ultimately she was shown Mercy by the
34:26
judge and given a sentence of 3 years probation for her involvement next up it
34:31
was John's turn who pleaded guilty to second degree murder with a deadly weapon along with conspiracy to commit
34:37
murder he was therefore sentenced to 18 to 45 years for his role in this horrible story and I think from what we
34:44
have here everyone can agree this is an utterly toxic love triangle that just ended as brutally and as terribly as one
34:51
can imagine um just the sheer
34:57
length of time and the pain that Dr Bard must have gone through is is
35:03
unimaginable and Mr Penis you did that and you took this man away from people
35:09
who obviously loved him and patients who very much needed him and so I I know you're aware that you're taking you know
35:15
harsh penalty for this because what you did is inexcusable and accordance to the laws
35:22
of the state of Nevada you're hereby judge guilty of count one conspiracy to commit murder and count two murder with
35:27
use of a deadly weapon on count one you're sentenced to 24 to 60 months to that a Department of Corrections that is
35:33
to run consecutive to count two on the second degree murder you're sentenced to 10 to 25 years from the B Department of
35:39
Corrections the total sentence the agregate sentence will be 18 to 45 years from the DAT Department of Correction
35:45
and finally Kelsey's turn in typical non-accountable fashion Kelsey agreed to
35:50
an Alfred guilty ple which basically allowed her to plead not guilty but acknowledged that the state had enough
35:57
evidence to to prove that she was Miss Kon how do you to those
36:02
two she signed the plea in November of that year before finally being sentenced
36:08
2 months later and so on January the 10th 2023 she ultimately received 10 to
36:14
25 years behind bars while receiving her sentencing Kelsey was visibly tearful
36:20
however it is noted that this was not for the crime she had committed or the pain that she had caused but very likely
36:26
because she was caus instead I think the chief attorney summarized her attitude quite perfectly by saying she was
36:33
content to leave someone she knew for a number of years and who supported her and her child financially for a number
36:39
of years to rot in the back of the car that he paid for in the desert and this highlights how selfish and callous this
36:46
woman really is personally I think she deserved so much more time Behind Bars
36:51
this horrible person who was fueled by drugs partying and her own ego prayed
36:56
not only on Tom and his money but his good demeanor too she didn't care about him or his well-being all that she
37:03
wanted was the dollar bills that he had spent so many years working on not only that but she couldn't even do her own
37:10
Dirty Work ordering Jon to murder Thomas who would then receive a harsher sentence than she did she is the sole
37:16
reason why others are behind bars why loved ones are grieving and why a kind-hearted man is now dead so yeah I
37:24
mean at least personally speaking why isn't she serving the longest sentence for this crime Tom's partner Judy had to
37:31
watch all the initial Court hearings where Kelsey was seen smiling and laughing throughout even if she wasn't
37:37
guilty of this crime somebody she knew had just been murdered and here she was parading as if it was just another photo
37:44
shoot once again I believe this just goes to show what kind of monster Kelsey Turner really is no matter what Thomas
37:51
bad's motivations were for trying to help a single mom in need it is absolutely terrible that someone who had
37:57
helped so many people in his life ended up paying such a devastating price for it to this day Thomas is missed by many
38:05
in his community from his family to his friends and even his patients many of which he ensured were always getting the
38:12
help they needed even if it came at his own expense he is remembered as a kind man who was always willing to help those
38:19
in need Judy still misses Tom to this day and often imagines him walking through the front door even if deep down
38:27
she knows this will never [Music]
38:32
happen and so on that note I think I'll end this video here today folks which is a wild story about an over-generous man
38:39
and a total scumbag now I do still think that Tom should have been more careful and exercises boundaries a little bit
38:46
better but at the same time he did seem to be a lonely old man who was now suffering from dementia it's one of
38:51
those stories with a little bit of gray area and so on that note I'd love to know what you think about this one what
38:57
