ok - speedtyping transcript again - don’t be mad if words are missing, I’ve tried to catch as much as I could accurately and there’s no ‘hit replay’ to hit :)
Geraldo sat nite, Oct 20th, ‘07
Voiceover: Proof positive ANS was medicated heavily
[clown video]
Geraldo: Shelley says ANS was coherant...ANS given something from white bottle with red stripes, after that Anna becomes the sad person we see on tape
She begins behaving as tho the doll she’s playing with is real baby and her baby down there is just “gas”
[HKS saying something to ANS that’s her real baby down there, riley also saying that, ANS looking at stomach with puzzled look]
Riley: brain trouble, brain trouble!
Geraldo: [Riley?] switches doll off to prove its a toy
ANS - “DON’T OPEN HER SKIN” [appears upset]
[video] - HKS - (tape was) “never to be released to the media but someone stole it to make her look bad”
Geraldo: Stern complained background music may have made tapes unusable
(HKS heard in background of tape saying tapes unusable)
HKS heard giving camera instructions “Anna watch your boob”, says to someone, “don’t show that [Mike/Mark?]” also says, “the pole is white” [note: future color-editing reference???]
HKS says, “this footage is worth money”
ANS: “why?”
Geraldo: ...her character really does believe the toy is her real baby
Riley - “Howard help, Howard, seriously! help, cut the tape off and help!
HKS heard to say, “is your baby still alive, Anna?”
Geraldo: ANS nurtures and tends to the doll, then stumbles outside to tennis court area clearly believing her baby is real
ANS heard to say: “don’t hurt the baby!” ANS seen running to baby carriage
Riley - “we need the hospital, Howard!! Seriously, please help!”
Geraldo: joining me now is Ford Shelley.
Geraldo - You could have made a million dollars on this tape why did you give it for free?
Shelley: I never expected to make money off Anna
Geraldo: why are you so emotional? Is it your daughter?
Shelley: yes....She’s tough...but she emotionally is not good
Geraldo - (Riley was)... mature, really courageous in many ways that day. Is that why you’re here?
Shelley: Yes. She saw a lot that day and kept it inside...
Geraldo: When you dropped her off for the play date, the idea was that since ANS had missed her birthday she was going to spend the day?
Shelley: (...)
Geraldo: What about the allegation from HKS that you stole this tape?
Shelley - I was sitting in an interview that morning... I was there four hours securing the home, told them they could get back in, no police showed up, they didnt’ stop us they didn’t stop the plane from taking off, if his friends were outside, why didn’t they stop me? why did they allow it?
Geraldo: You’re the legal owner?
Shelley: In my father-in-law’s name,...letter from Callenders that we own it
Geraldo: Did you stage the methadone?
Shelley: The night ET played a video(?), Mark Steines knew I was going there, because I was on his set - we didn’t set that up...we left our numbers there
Geraldo: do you swear to God?
Shelley: yes sir
Shelley: I’m not exploiting Anna... I did not make that tape, Howard did, (crosstalk) but when we say stoned and pathetic, Anna, Anna didn’t know! She was good to my child she wouldn’t have hurt her for nothing.
Geraldo: when we come back, gruesome photo of Daniel lying in his mothers arms after his death
Geraldo: Live in a recent edition of LKL, HKS brought up the shocking picture you are about to see..of ANS posing along side her just-dead son. He said Anna made him take the picture “for old time’s sake”
Geraldo - Out of respect for the dead, not shown by HKS... we have obscured the dead man’s face
[video, GBen/Craig] G.Ben - HKS called me, all frantically, and said, “Ben, you need to get to the hospital now, it’s not good”
Geraldo - (background on G.Ben)
[picture shown]
GBen: Daniel is laying in the bed Anna had been occupying, laying in the middle of the bed, Anna is laying horizontally beside him, Anna only a third of her body on bed, holding on to Daniel, crying, wanting the Lord to take her, “why are you doing this to me”, these kind of things most mothers would do...
Craig: did she say anything to HKS at that point?
G.Ben: Howard, I can’t believe this has happened, look at my baby!!!
Craig: At some point in time HKS told you to gather,,what did he tell you?
GBen: He told me just before we were leaving, there was three bags in the room, he told me to guard these bags with my life
Craig: ....one of these bags you later learned contained Anna’s drugs?
G.Ben: that’s correct
Craig - when Howard takes the pictures did you say anything? He say anything?
GBen: Yeah, I said, “Howard, what you doing?” and he said, “ I’m gonna take this picture, it’s probably gonna be worth a lot of money some day.”
Craig: what were your thoughts when you heard him say that?
GBen: I couldn’t imagine anyone thinking like that at that point in time
[LKL video]HKS: “I took that picture...she wanted me to
take a picture ...as proof Daniel had died.”
Craig: Howard has said on other interviews he took that picture for Anna to leave the room
GBen: No, the only way, Anna wouldn’t even consider leaving the room..the doctors...a psychiatrist had to come in and highly sedate her
Craig: so Anna said, take these pictures, Howard?
G.Ben: No, I did not hear her say that
Craig: did they secure that room?
G.Ben: No
Geraldo: did they search the room?
GBen: no
Geraldo: ...and HKS has the nerve to go on international television and claim ‘he’ is the victim
Geraldo: any other person in that room?
Craig: G.Ben was only other person
Geraldo: G.Ben was an eyewitness to HKS taking pictures and saying it would make some money
Geraldo: .....?? is going to make avail to him the tape, the whole unedited tape and the picture of Daniel
Gerragos: I was thinking that very thing, that obviously the investigators would want to take a look at that, that I would assume would play a role in their investigation and
give them what they are looking for. They don’t open an investigation unless they’ve got a target, and some kind of end goal, and that end goal is Howard.
Geraldo: ...want to get back to it a little later and a
change of pace (switch to baby found in tornado rubble)
[video: ANS putting clothes on doll. Asks doll:, “are you laughing at mamma? Yeah?” - is cooing to doll]
Geraldo: Alright, we’ll continue....
Geraldo: ...a consistency between drugs?
Craig: According to Wecht, there was a lethal combination of methadone, lexapro and zoloft..a lot of same drugs were also in Anna’s system when she died
Geraldo: and yet prochelli(?)?, HKS testified that ANS had not had methadone for five months before her pregnancy
Shelley: Dr Perper made the comment [methadone] was in her system 3 days before she died
Jeanine - everything that HKS has said, both under oath and not under oath, here’s..here’s a guy trying to make money off video, off her dead son, delivering pills to her every
24 hours...If this isn’t enough for a prosecutor to get involved...I don’t know what is !
Geraldo: what was your reaction, {Ran?}
(dont’ know who was talking) : Horrified; Ford, I really sympathize with you what happened with your daughter there, basically begging, begging, for her to get help, begging
for someone to take her to the hospital...it seems like, ... giving production notes, it doesn’t sound to me, it doesn’t sound to me that someone is taking a video for their personal collection, ...taking it to make money in the future
Geraldo: What gets me is the hutspha really, to go on Larry King and say Monday is Tuesday
Geraggos: maybe Anna was acting and he’s just giving her cues? ...it might have been an audition? (laughing) If I’m wrong I’m sure there’s a lot of “creative” prosecutors and
(crosstalk about only short part of tape shown)..that’s true, we haven’t seen much of it...
(pretty abrupt) end - on to other stories, no mention that I heard of a follow-up show tomorrow, sorry
HKS heard to say, is your baby still alive, Anna?
In light of all that’s happened doesn’t this remard sound rather “strange”.
