A unicorn among beasts.

0:45

Life on the Hawaiian Island of

0:47

Maui is very relaxed. The North

0:49

Shore now he is where the

0:51

big waves are and that attracts

0:53

surfers, beach bums, hippies and people.

0:56

They just love to enjoy life.

0:58

Carly Charlie Scott was one of

1:00

those people. Charlie was a fun

1:02

loving girl that lived near the

1:04

North Shore and love the easy

1:06

lifestyle of Maui with her pin

1:08

up girl looks. Charlie was known

1:10

for her quirkiness, her taste in

1:12

music clothes, and her bright red

1:14

hair. She loved to sing

1:17

out loud and would often go

1:19

out of her way to help

1:21

her friends and family. Charlie moved

1:23

to Maui from within California and

1:25

two thousand and Four. Even at

1:27

twenty seven years old, Charlie had

1:29

a child like side to her.

1:31

She had a fascination with unicorns

1:33

and her favorite movie was Nineteen

1:35

Eighty Two. So the Last unicorn

1:37

she often quoted the Chinese philosopher

1:40

you Room saying she was a

1:42

unicorn among beasts. Unfortunately, the beast

1:44

she met was named. Steven couple Bianco.

1:46

Stephen couple. Bianco. Met Charlie in Two

1:48

Thousand and Nine when she was twenty

1:50

two years old and he was just

1:52

nineteen. Charlie. Was quite smitten

1:55

with Steven and the couple moved in together

1:57

and lived in the town of Cooler just

1:59

a few. Miles up country from the

2:01

beach town of By. Though.

2:03

They lived together for two full years.

2:06

Steven would off until his friends they

2:08

were just roommates, even going so far

2:10

as to avoid having his picture taken

2:12

with her. Although Charlie openly love Steven,

2:14

the love was not reciprocated. Steven never

2:17

told her he loved her, and according

2:19

to her friends, he never showed her

2:21

any affectionate all other than sex. Charlie.

2:24

Had a motherly side to her as well. She.

2:27

Enjoyed making Stevens life comfortable by cooking

2:29

and cleaning the house while Steven would

2:31

spend hours in front of the television

2:34

playing video games are working on his

2:36

truck. Though the couple were living together,

2:38

they really didn't do many activities together.

2:41

To their friends' knowledge, Stephen was never

2:43

abusive to her. For. Behind your

2:45

back. He would tell his friends

2:47

I keep that fucking bitch. When.

2:50

Steven and Charlie inevitably broke up. They

2:52

still had an on again, off again

2:54

relationship for the next few years. Charlie.

2:57

Was still in love even though she knew

2:59

Steven didn't care about her. And. Stephen

3:01

New Charlie was always there if he

3:03

needed her for sex. No matter how

3:06

badly Steven treated her, Charlie was under

3:08

his spell and just couldn't seem to

3:10

say no. She came running every time

3:12

he would call. In. The Follow:

3:14

Twenty thirteen. Stephen met a young blonde

3:17

named Cassandra Coops to us and the

3:19

to started dating. Cassandra.

3:22

Claimed it was love at first sight.

3:24

She. Was living on Maui when she met

3:26

Steven but already had plans to move back

3:29

to her hometown and Pennsylvania. Though

3:31

they had only had three weeks together

3:33

before she moved five thousand miles away,

3:35

they sell very much in Love. Once.

3:38

Cassandra got back to Pennsylvania. She and

3:40

Stephen spoke on the phone via Skype

3:42

one or two times a day. She.

3:45

Had only been back a few days before.

3:47

They both realize they needed to be together.

3:49

They. Made plans for her to move back

3:52

to Maui the following Feb. Neither

3:54

Steven nor Cassandra seem to be the

3:56

faithful type. early on in their

3:58

relationship stephen found out the Cassandra had cheated

4:00

on him, and he decided to go to

4:02

a bar in the town of Moc-A-Wile to

4:04

drown his sorrows. Stephen ran

4:07

into Charlie at the bar. Charlie

4:09

lent a sympathetic ear and invited him over to

4:11

her place. As usual, Stephen

4:13

was only interested in sex, and Charlie

4:15

knew she couldn't resist. The

4:18

cheating was just a minor setback for

4:20

Stephen and Cassandra. They quickly patched up

4:22

their relationship and continued with their plans

4:24

of creating a life together. In

4:26

October, just over a month after

4:28

their hookup, Charlie realized she was

4:30

pregnant. Though this obviously

4:32

wasn't the ideal situation, Charlie had always

4:34

looked forward to the idea of being

4:37

a mother. When Charlie told

4:39

Stephen the news, he was less than pleased,

4:41

and told her he wanted to take a

4:43

paternity test to make certain he was the

4:45

father. The pregnancy got directly

4:47

in the way of Stephen's plans with

4:49

his new love, Cassandra. He

4:52

told Charlie he would not be there for her

4:54

baby and insisted that she get an abortion. Charlie

4:57

reluctantly agreed, and the two went to

5:00

Planned Parenthood together for a consultation. During

5:03

their visit, the director of the local Planned

5:05

Parenthood noticed the tension between the couple and

5:07

asked Stephen if he was the father. Stephen

5:10

replied, I guess so, but

5:12

she's not with me. The

5:14

director looked at Charlie and could see an obvious look

5:16

of pain on her face. Stephen

5:19

then blurted out, We're going

5:21

through with this, aren't we? Charlie

5:23

reluctantly agreed, and they made plans for Charlie

5:25

to come back later for the procedure. Christmas

5:29

dinner was held at Charlie's half-sister,

5:31

Fiona Weishaus, and Charlie thought

5:33

this was the perfect time to announce to

5:35

her family that she was now three months

5:37

pregnant and was having a baby. Charlie

5:41

hadn't spoken to Stephen since their appointment at

5:43

Planned Parenthood, and she had changed her mind

5:45

and decided to keep the baby and raise

5:47

it on her own, with or

5:50

without Stephen's help. She knew she

5:52

would always have the support of her family and

5:54

friends. Jaws dropped and

5:56

mouths were wide open around the room.

6:00

were in shock, but ultimately happy for her

6:02

when they saw how excited she was. She

6:05

had already found out the gender of the baby

6:07

by this time and decided she was going to

6:09

name him Joshua. Her half-sister

6:11

Fiona was curious if Stephen knew about the

6:13

baby and sent him a text. Do

6:16

you realize you are the father of

6:18

Charlie's child? Stephen replied, What? How

6:21

do you know? I thought she had it

6:23

taken care of. He

6:25

had no idea that Charlie had changed her mind

6:27

and decided to keep the baby. When

6:30

Fiona spoke with Stephen on the phone

6:32

later that day, he sounded nervous and

6:35

panicked, as if he couldn't believe the

6:37

news. He said that he

6:39

and Charlie had agreed to take care of it.

6:42

He told her he had a new girlfriend

6:44

that he loved and she was moving in

6:47

with him in February. He was worried that

6:49

this baby was going to mess up all

6:51

of his plans. He ended the conversation saying,

6:53

I need to talk to Charlie. A

6:56

few weeks had passed before Stephen worked up

6:58

the nerve to break the news to Cassandra

7:00

during their daily Skype sessions. Stephen

7:03

explained to her that he didn't know for sure

7:05

the baby was his and he asked

7:07

Charlie to have an abortion, even taking her

7:09

to the clinic himself. Cassandra

7:11

was in shock. At only 21

7:14

years old, she wasn't ready to be a

7:16

stepmother and she told Stephen she didn't want

7:18

to talk for a few days while she

7:20

processed this news. Eventually

7:23

Cassandra called Stephen and told him she didn't

7:25

want him to be a deadbeat dad and

7:27

that he should take responsibility for the child.

7:29

She told him that he should be there

7:31

for the child, but she could tell that

7:33

Stephen still wasn't ready to become a father.

7:36

He told Cassandra he had no feelings for

7:38

Charlie and had never had any feelings for

7:41

her, explaining she was just

7:43

an easy lay. On the evening of

7:45

Sunday, February 9, Charlie, her

7:47

mother, and her four sisters all

7:49

gathered at her sister Brooke's house

7:51

for a relaxing evening watching Disney

7:54

videos. Brooke had recently

7:56

found out she was pregnant too and they

7:58

talked about their children growing up together. on

8:00

Maui. Brooke later recalled feeling

8:02

her sister's tummy and feeling Joshua

8:04

kicking. At around 8

8:06

p.m., Charli kissed her mother, told

8:08

her that she loved her, and made

8:11

her way home. That would

8:13

be the last time any of her

8:15

family would see her. Charli only lived

8:17

a few minutes away from her mother

8:19

and had planned to drop off laundry

8:21

with her on the way to work

8:23

on Monday morning. Charli worked as an

8:26

administrator at the Hui Nual Visual Arts

8:28

Center in nearby Makawao. When

8:30

she didn't show up at work that morning,

8:32

Charli's mother, Kimberlin, called her on her cell

8:34

phone. She wasn't surprised when

8:36

Charli didn't answer. Charli

8:38

would have been at work by then and

8:40

normally didn't answer personal calls while she was

8:43

working. Kimberlin then sent her

8:45

a text message, knowing Charli would respond when

8:47

she had the time. As the

8:49

day progressed, Charli's mother sent a few

8:51

more texts, but each time got no

8:53

reply. Charli was a

8:55

very responsible girl and it was

8:58

unusual for her not to reply.

9:00

That was when Kimberlin started getting

9:02

worried. By 4 p.m., she had already

9:04

sent her daughter several messages and eventually

9:06

one saying, Where the hell are you?

9:09

By 9 p.m., Kimberlin and

9:11

the rest of the family were in full panic

9:14

mode. That evening,

9:16

Kimberlin and Charli's 16-year-old sister,

9:18

Phaedra, went to Charli's house,

9:21

Charli's Toyota 4Runner wasn't there and

9:23

the doors to her home were

9:25

locked. They knocked, knowing there would

9:27

be no answer, but could hear one

9:29

of her dogs was inside the house. They

9:31

had keys so they let themselves in. Upon

9:34

entering the house, they found one of

9:36

Charli's dogs, Zoe, with no dog food

9:39

or water. Charli would never leave her

9:41

dogs without food and water. Her

9:43

second dog, Mala, was nowhere to be

9:46

found. Kimberlin then remembered

9:48

that she and Charli shared an

9:50

app called Life360 that was

9:52

used for families to track the location of one

9:55

another, specifically for situations like

9:57

this. It

10:00

showed the last ping from Charlie's phone was at

10:02

10.56 p.m. the night

10:04

before in K'nay. K'nay

10:07

was a remote area along the north

10:09

shore of Maui, just a

10:11

short distance from the famous road to Hana.

10:14

It's a beautiful peninsula with huge waves

10:16

that crash against the jagged black rocks

10:19

of the shoreline, but there

10:21

was really no explainable reason why Charlie

10:23

would have gone there, especially that late

10:25

at night when she was five months

10:27

pregnant. As the family hypothesized

10:30

about why Charlie would possibly be out

10:32

that far in the middle of the

10:34

night, there was only one reason that

10:36

came to mind. There was

10:38

only one person that Charlie would go to sea

10:40

without telling one, and that

10:42

was Steven Capo Bianco. At

10:45

10.19 p.m. Monday night, Kimberlyn

10:47

sent Charlie one last text, I'm

10:50

about to call the police, Charlie. Where are

10:52

you? There was still no

10:54

answer. Kimberlyn then called Maui

10:57

police and reported Charlie missing. Tuesday

10:59

morning at 5.30 a.m., Maui

11:02

police showed up at Steven Capo Bianco's

11:04

house to question him. He

11:06

told his story and told officers it

11:08

was the first he had heard of

11:11

Charlie's disappearance. Steven said that

11:13

Charlie had come over to his house Sunday

11:15

night because he asked for a ride to

11:17

pick up his truck. Steven claimed

11:19

his battery cable had come loose on the road

11:22

to Hana the prior day, and he

11:24

left it parked on the side of the road. He

11:26

needed a ride to the truck so he could fix

11:28

it and drive home. He said

11:31

his truck had been stalled just a few

11:33

miles past Kanii at mile marker 20. This

11:35

was the same location that Charlie's mother had

11:37

seen the last ping on the tracking app.

11:40

According to Steven, Charlie drove him to his truck

11:43

that night and she didn't even need to get

11:45

out of her vehicle. He claimed

11:47

she shined her headlights on him while he

11:49

fixed his truck and the whole process took

11:51

only a few minutes. They then drove back

11:53

to town in their own vehicles. Steven said

11:56

Charlie followed him on the way back, but

11:58

he drives faster than she does. does

12:00

and he lost sight of her

12:02

headlights near Hula Leina Loop in

12:04

the Twin Falls area. That would

12:06

put her within 20 minutes of her home. Stephen

12:10

claimed he texted her when he got home.

12:12

I sent her a text that said, thank

12:14

you, but I figured she was working. That's

12:16

why she didn't get back to me right

12:18

away. We'll

13:41

daybreak, the entire family gathered friends and

13:43

started their search of the island. They

13:45

hoped they would possibly find Charlie, rolled her car

13:47

off the side of the road to Hana and

13:49

just couldn't get to help. Search

13:52

crews scoured up and down the road

13:54

to Hana. They thought she could be

13:56

anywhere between Haiku and Hana, a 40

13:59

mile stretch of. twists and turns,

14:01

one-lane bridges and sharp cliffs on the

14:03

ocean side of the road. They were

14:06

looking for skid marks, broken railings,

14:08

broken bushes, or any sort of

14:10

a clue at all. They spent

14:12

the entire day Tuesday searching until

14:15

dark, but found nothing. By

14:17

Tuesday night friends and family had posted on

14:19

Facebook, and the local news stations picked up

14:22

the story. Word spread fast

14:24

around the island that Charlie was missing.

14:26

Just a month prior, another Maui

14:29

woman, Moraira Mo

14:31

Mansov, went missing. Speculation

14:34

quickly spread that the two cases may

14:36

have been related. Wednesday

14:39

morning there was a clue. Charlie's

14:41

other dog Nala had been found

14:43

at the Naiku Marketplace, an area

14:46

much further towards Hana. Naiku

14:48

was around eight miles past where Stephen

14:50

said his truck broke down, and about

14:52

twenty-five miles from where he had said

14:54

he lost sight of Charlie's headlights that

14:57

night. The man that found

14:59

Nala said she was wandering around

15:01

Naiku Marketplace on Monday morning. Nala's

15:03

hair wasn't dirty, and her paws

15:05

seemed clean and not cracked. Police

15:08

knew that if a dog had traveled

15:10

any distance at all in that rugged

15:12

area, it would have matted hair and

15:14

muddy or cracked paws. While

15:16

it was good news that Nala was

15:19

found safe, it also presented larger problems.

15:21

Her family knew that Charlie would never

15:23

willingly leave Nala alone. Also,

15:25

it left the question of how Nala got

15:27

that far down the Hana Highway without getting

15:29

dirty. Someone had to

15:31

have dropped her off way out there. That

15:35

same afternoon, searchers found Charlie's vehicle.

15:37

Her 1997 Toyota 4Runner was found

15:41

near the famous surf spot, Jaws,

15:44

flipped on the side and completely burned.

15:46

Forensic experts found the use of accelerants

15:49

in the passenger side and near the

15:51

rear of the SUV. Literally

15:53

everything that was not metal was

15:55

burned and completely gone. Police

15:58

Questioned two families that. Live nearby

16:00

Who said they could smell the

16:03

toxic smoke burning throughout the night.

16:06

Charlie's. Father flew out from the

16:08

mainland as well as many other relatives

16:10

and friends. They. All came to

16:13

help with the search. Local

16:15

malley residents came from all over

16:17

the island to help donating their

16:19

horses, search dogs, and even helicopters.

16:22

But. Families and searchers new the considering

16:24

the evidence found at that point and

16:26

the amount of time that a gone

16:29

by. The. Chances of finding Charlie

16:31

alive we're very slim. A

16:33

search team on Thursday sound a pair of

16:36

jeans with bloodstained thrown alongside the Han Hi

16:38

Way. The. Size of the

16:40

genes match Charlie's and later analysis

16:42

showed the blood was also hers.

16:45

Investigators also found a share in the

16:47

pocket of the genes dna was taken

16:50

from the hair and it was found

16:52

to match that of Steven Couple Bianco.

16:55

Late Thursday afternoon Charlie's

16:57

younger sister, Phedre. Thought.

16:59

It would be best to thoroughly searched

17:02

the Can I area near now Lou

17:04

a base since it was the last

17:06

pin location of Charlie cell phone. As.

17:09

Feed were in Brooklyn. Drove down the

17:11

road to the area of Paraquat Beach.

17:13

They saw shed light coming up the

17:16

dirt road. The. Instantly recognize the

17:18

headlights as Steven couple Bianco struck Steven

17:20

stop them on their way down the

17:22

road and told them that he had

17:24

already searched that area and found nothing.

17:26

He offered to search the area again

17:28

with them, but Federer and Brook didn't

17:30

trust him and they decided to go

17:32

back home. Another of

17:34

Charlie's friends, Adam Gains, encountered Stephen

17:36

and heard a similar story from

17:39

him earlier that day. Later.

17:41

That evening, when they knew Steven wasn't

17:43

in the area anymore, Seder took two

17:45

friends back to the Paraquat Beach to

17:47

do their own search. The.

17:50

Brush in the area was very sick and

17:52

the three of them decided to spread out

17:54

wide enough to where they could still hear

17:57

each other. Just. A few feet

17:59

into the brush. Feed found something.

18:02

It was a Dvd of the

18:04

movie Twilight. She. Knew that

18:06

Charlie had that Dvd and her car

18:08

the time she went. missing. As.

18:10

The three of them went deeper into

18:12

the wooded area. Molly Worth sound a

18:15

long black skirt and a blue poker.tank

18:17

top. These with the close

18:19

trolley was wearing Sunday night. The.

18:21

Skirt had at least twenty puncture

18:23

marks concentrated in the abdomen area.

18:26

As they continue to serve deeper into

18:28

the brushed they came to stream and

18:31

were overwhelmed by a horrible stance. Something.

18:34

Was rotten and decomposing.

18:37

Laying. On the banks of the stream

18:39

was a green blanket the Charlie kept

18:41

her car. The blanket was covered with

18:43

maggots. They also found a pair of

18:45

Perry Ellis genes, a gray hoodie, and

18:47

two roles of masking tape. Malley.

18:49

Police planned a full scale search of

18:52

the area at daybreak the next morning.

18:54

They. Also wanted to take a much

18:56

closer look into Stephen Couple Bianco story.

18:59

That. Morning Police started a full forensic

19:01

search of the area near Naya Lieu

19:04

of Bay where Phedre had found Charlie.

19:06

Silence. Their. Extensive search found

19:08

a black bra with cats

19:11

Senate five fingernails Skyn fragments.

19:13

Clumps. Of red hair. A. Body

19:15

piercing with flesh still attached to

19:18

it. A bone fragment. And

19:20

two halves of a lower jaw bone.

19:23

Dna. Analysis Match them all

19:25

to Charlie Scott. The

19:27

forensic analysis showed the jawbone was

19:29

split into two pieces and had

19:32

marks of dismemberment. Blunt. Force

19:34

trauma and removal of flesh with

19:36

a serrated edge. Though.

19:38

The search for more body parts continued.

19:41

Who. Is now clear Charlie had been

19:43

murdered and the case was now considered

19:45

a homicide. Malley.

19:47

Police took their time building their

19:49

case. Stephen Couple Bianco was only

19:52

listed as a person of interest

19:54

at that point and not officially

19:56

a suspect. During. This

19:58

time Stephen was hockey and spoke

20:01

with reporters repeating a story. He

20:04

told reporters that he took a lie detector

20:06

test but was told he had failed. They

20:08

didn't make me take it again. I'm honestly

20:10

not convince I failed. I think they might

20:12

have just said that as a tactic. But.

20:15

I really don't know. I'm walking around

20:17

right now without handcuffs on. For.

20:20

Months after finding the job on

20:22

Maui, police arrested Stephen Couple Bianco

20:24

for Charlie Scott murder. He.

20:27

Was charged with second degree murder and

20:29

third degree arson. Almost.

20:31

Every partner stephen story cel apart as

20:33

the evidence piled up against him. Though

20:36

much of the evidence against

20:38

Stephen was largely circumstantial, the

20:40

sheer volume of inconsistencies in

20:42

a story was monumental. Win.

20:45

The Sb I analyzed his cellphone usage during

20:47

the time he claimed his truck had broken

20:49

down on the road honor. His.

20:52

Cell phone was actually being news over

20:54

twenty miles away in Haiku near his

20:56

home. Stephen. Claimed that

20:58

his friend Kyle knighted picked him up the

21:00

next morning and gave him a ride to

21:02

work, but Kyle testified this wasn't true. In.

21:05

Fact: He surveillance video at a Bank

21:07

of Hawaii near his work at Mana

21:09

Foods showed him driving a truck that

21:11

morning at six forty one Am, the

21:13

same time that he claimed the truck

21:15

was broken down on the Han Hi

21:18

Way. That. Same day at work,

21:20

a friend of his mentioned that he'd

21:22

left his backpack and Stevens truck. And

21:25

Stephen told him it was in the parking lot to go

21:27

out and get his back. Even

21:30

stevens grandfather testified that he left

21:32

the house at morning in his

21:34

own truck. At. The trial.

21:36

Local. Residents that travel the road to

21:38

haunt everyday testified that they didn't see

21:41

any vehicles broken down on the road

21:43

that morning. Stevens excuse for why the

21:45

vehicle broke down didn't make sense either

21:47

if a battery cable had come loose

21:50

while a vehicle is running. The.

21:52

Engine with still run until it

21:54

was turned off. Another

21:56

crucial mistake he made was during

21:58

interviews with the police in television

22:01

reporters. He. Mistakenly referred to

22:03

Charlie in the past tense before any

22:05

of the body parts were found. Perhaps.

22:08

His most incriminating inconsistency.

22:11

Was. The three different stories he gave

22:13

for why his hands were injured. Couple.

22:16

Bianco had a Skype conversation with

22:18

his girlfriend Cassandra to thirty am

22:20

on the Monday morning after Charlie

22:22

disappear. He. Was acting frantic and

22:24

wound up and he showed her that

22:26

his hands were injured. He. Told Cassandra

22:28

that he had smashed one hand on the

22:31

hood of her friends car and the other

22:33

hand had been sliced by a battery terminal.

22:35

Cassandra. Testified during the trial

22:37

that. He was kind

22:40

of frantic and wound up. Like.

22:42

Someone who had just got of a

22:44

car accident the next day referring to

22:46

the same injury. He. Had told

22:49

a coworker at Mana Food said he

22:51

had injured his hand while working on

22:53

the window or friend's car. He said

22:55

that the cable that pulls the window

22:58

up wrapped around his hand and he

23:00

lost feeling and Man X first testified

23:02

during the trial with the Honda window

23:05

cable is encased in an enclosure. The

23:07

would have made it impossible for the

23:09

cable to wrap around his hands while

23:12

being interrogated by the police. He told

23:14

detectives Lou the he injured his hands

23:16

as a baker at his. Work and

23:18

that he sliced his pinky while

23:20

working on the window on this

23:22

truck. Not a France. Basically everything

23:24

about Stephen Story was proven to

23:26

be a lie, and cell phone

23:29

records put him in the exact

23:31

remote location of Charlie's death. How

23:33

exactly she was killed is still

23:36

a mystery. On December Twenty Eight

23:38

Twenty Sixty. After twenty eight days

23:40

of deliberation, the jury came back

23:43

with a guilty verdict on both

23:45

accounts. Stephen. Couple Bianco

23:47

was sentenced to life in prison

23:49

with out the possibility of parole

23:52

during his incarceration. Couple Be on

23:54

the aren't Susan Cooper Bianco was

23:57

arrested when visiting Stephen of Malik

23:59

community. Correctional Center. She was

24:01

caught trying to pass on

24:03

the package. The contained twelve

24:05

cigarettes point three grams, methamphetamine,

24:07

marijuana, hash oil, and rolling

24:09

papers. She was sentenced to

24:11

eighteen months in jail and

24:13

four years of probation. Oh.

24:32

Thanks. For listening to true crime sleep

24:34

stories. If you are a sleep

24:37

yet consider following the show. May.

24:39

Our next story will give you the peace

24:41

of mind you desperately need. Or.
