Crime Time has moved to it's own channel! Please subscribe to @LUSHcrimetime to continue seeing true crime content from my wife and I!
Full disclaimer on this one — Mrs. Lush and I came in blind and this case went to a place neither of us were ready for. It starts almost comedically with a woman pulled over driving on a bare rim, smashed back window, blood everywhere, and the most creative excuses we've ever heard — deer meat, paintballs, menstrual blood, you name it. But when officers finally open the trunk, it becomes one of the most disturbing cases we've ever covered. This is the story of Eli Hart, a 6-year-old boy who the system failed at every turn. CPS returned him to his mother three separate times despite overwhelming evidence she was unfit, and 11 days after she was granted full custody, he was gone. From Explore With Us — this one stays with you.
