| 0:00.0 | Here on Stolen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children. |
| 0:05.4 | Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse. |
| 0:10.8 | I do try to my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories |
| 0:13.9 | and leave out unnecessary details that honestly, none of us need to know to understand the |
| 0:18.9 | frustration of why and how this ever happened. |
| 0:21.8 | However, if you find any of these themes triggering this podcast may not be for you. |
| 0:27.2 | Listener, discretion is advised. |
| 0:42.8 | This week's story is a listener's suggestion. Thank you to Whitney for bringing Emily's story to my attention. Now, unfortunately, there is barely any information out there on this story. Even the |

| 1:36.8 | This is Emily's story. |
| 1:42.5 | Emily Madison Bernard was born August 17, 2007 in Moresburg, Tennessee. |
| 1:47.8 | To parents, Angela and Eric Bernard. Emily was an only child, but Angie had custody of a teenage sister. |
| 1:55.0 | Why Angie had custody of her sister, it's not clear. I don't believe it was an abuse or neglect issue for reasons that will |
| 2:01.6 | become clear in a moment. Angie and Eric's relationship would not see the test of time, |
