Crime stories with Nancy Grace

Your daughter, the love of your life, goes missing.

You suffer and suffer until you find out the worst.

She's dead.

Can you imagine anything else that could be heaped on you as a mother or father that could intensify your pain after what you've already been through?

How about this? How about if the assistant district attorney asks you the mother of the dead girl to come to the DA's office,

escort you to a little office and ask you to sort through the evidence and organize it, including the photos of your girl in death.

Now, I've got to say, my fiance was martyred. I did not want to see his body even in a casket, even with all the makeup on and the fixing him to cover up the five bullet wounds to his head, his face, his back, his neck.

And the one moment I did see a tiny bit of his profile at a distance in the casket, I passed out.

So what has this mother endured thanks to a weak prosecutor?

I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us here at Fox Nation and Sirius XM111.

First of all, take a listen to this report from our friend Taylor O'Leanese at KRIS6.

I'm supposed to trust her. I'm supposed to trust the DA. And you're asking me to do something I trust you.

Trust that Fallon Wood says was broken by what she thought was a simple favor.

I remember her saying that she needed help sorting out and arranging the boxes containing all the evidence.

So she did what she thought any mother would do.

She did not say that it would jeopardize the case, but she did say, you know, just keep this between us.

Wood says assistant DA and Helike Hernandez brought her to a small room.

I sat on the floor for three days sorting all the interviews, everything from each name, from all seven names.

She says that none of this made copies of video interviews with one man who took a plea deal in connection to Hernandez murder.

Wood was allowed to take those videos home and keeps them locked in her safe.

The evidence also included pictures of Brana's body.
