Sneak peek: A Raging Son | Forensic Files

I received a call of a possible DOA at this location I'm detective Dennis fley New
York City Police Department retired of course I had very little information to go on and as I came in the first thing I
noticed was how clean this particular apartment was I was directed to the bathroom and as soon as I came in there
was a little dog protecting whoever was in that bathtub and I thought to myself perhaps
this person fell a home accident and I noticed she had terrible injuries on her head towards here right by the drain
where our feet were I found several empty ice bags interestingly enough on top of the toilet tank right here there
was a large electric fan and the fan was on the breeze blowing through this window which opens up now the scene
starting to come together for me and I said you know something somebody tried to preserve this body I told the
lieutenant we have a crime scene seal the building no one comes in no one goes out her name was Daniel
[Music] Thomas you reach1 [Music] it's um you can't bring him back I can't bring her
back that's how it makes me feel her boyfriend Jason bon in Ivy League educated La a suspect from the beginning
now charged with her murder Poli custody for allegedly bludgeoning her to death and strangling he beat her so badly that
he broke most of her ribs broke her sternum he didn't just kick her he was dping her in the chest Jason Bond he was
not your normal suspect he had become an attorney and had attended an Ivy League
school I've been covering crime and law enforcement in New York City for three decades and it's very rare that the
murder victim turns out to be a very successful executive for a company like Weight Watchers I identified her through
a photo and I can close my eyes and I can see that photo still Jason has taken my
only child from me I've seen many murder scenes you got to move beyond the emotion I had to dig and
when I did dig into Jason's life there is no doubt that he is suffering from a mental illness so I turned to Dr Sasha
Harvard Education one of the best forensic psychiatrist that I have seen my job is to climb Inside the Mind of a
killer in other words I have to dissect him my mother was in the process of giving us
up at the age of nine his own mother abandoned him that leaves a psychological Mark based on mental illness I believe
that Jason Bond should not be held responsible for murder has a jury reached the verdict
yes we have it's absolutely ridiculous to believe that because his mommy didn't treat him necessarily as well as she
should have that somehow 15 years later he's not responsible for the torturing murder of his girlfriend he was caught
virtually red-handed we had a tape of him killing her it's one of the worst things I've ever heard 5 seconds I'm
going to let you up then you need to answer quickly or else you die
