He is a man who believes he's been
mistreated by everybody in his life. Jennifer Fulford died because this maniac
wanted to air his grievances to the world. This video contains the interview of a man
who kidnapped and murdered a caregiver. On September 27th, 2017, the employer of 56 year old
Jennifer Fulford reported her missing. Fulford, who had been hired
seven years previously as the nanny failed to pick up the child from school, her purse was discovered in the bathroom of her employer's
home without her cell phone, wallet, or tablet. Her vehicle was missing
from the driveway as well. Her husband discovered an odd
$300 withdrawal from their bank account. An ATM surveillance camera
captured the image of a man who the police recognized as Scott Edward Nelson, a convict out on federal probation for armed robbery. Later that same afternoon, Nelson was once again caught by the camera
making a second attempt to withdraw money. In this video, he had changed clothes
and had fresh scars on his hands. Three days after Fulford's disappearance, investigators discovered her body
in a heavily wooded area. Her wrists and ankles were bound, and her face was covered with duct tape. When her body was examined, it was determined that Fulford died
from stab wounds and asphyxia. On October 1st, Scott Nelson was arrested. He was later charged with kidnapping, burglary of a home, carjacking robbery,
and tampering with a witness to a felony. Hey, how you doing? Hey, I'm Sergeant Sue. Hey. All right, thanks. You got water? Are you okay? I could use something to eat. I’m starving.
I mean, I'm dizzy. I'm so hungry. Okay, we'll see if I could grab you
something real quick here. Sorry. Sorry for being hungry. No, man, that's not a problem. We'll wait to see what you can find.
Sure. No problem. That's good. Hungry though?
Yeah, it's terrible. You like to eat. Oh, God. Anything.
Oh, I'm not too fussy. No. Yeah. What's your favorite kind of food?
Pizza probably… After my own heart there, so.
Yeah, I got love for pizza. Well, Nelson's not Italian though, is it? No. No, but it should have been.
It should have been. Yeah. I could eat pizza pretty much every day. Yeah, I know. I do too. Though I would be a little bit fatter
if I did that, so I got to watch. I know it does. It'll blow you up. It's what happens when you get old.
It sucks getting old, doesn't it? It does. It takes forever to get rid of weight. Oh, tell me I lost 70 pounds. Really? That's great. It took me a while. It's not easy. So, yeah, we'll try work.
Going to get you some. Yeah, she has. And then we'll go over the prelim stuff
if you're okay with that, right? We'll go get you something else. Oh, that's fine.
And we got peanut and … I'm good.
Is it pizza flavor? No, sorry.
Oh, no, I'm good. All right, Scott. So, we'd like to talk to you about, and I'm sure you
probably have a million questions too, so. If you're okay a couple things we have to do. So, let's go through that first, and then I want to get some background
information on you, if that's okay. -And then we'll go from there. Okay?
-Okay. Let me, first go over these [inaudible] they brought you
here in handcuffs and everything. So, we have to go over these with you. I just want to make sure you understand them. If you have any questions about anything,
make sure you stop and ask. Don't not understand these are important, right? So, you have the right to remain silent,
do you understand that? Is that a yes? Yes. I just want to make sure. [Crosstalk] or
I just don't want to misunderstand you, that's all. Anything you say may be used against
you in court. Do you understand? Yes. You have the right to talk to a lawyer before,
during questioning. Do you understand? Yes. If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, one will be provided for you before questioning,
without charge. Do you understand? Yes. Has anyone threatened you or promised you
anything to [inaudible] you to talk to me? Has anybody told you they would
give you anything if you talk to me? No.
Okay. The only other thing I want you to do is you
could just raise your right hand for me, please. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you shall give
in this case should be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth? Yes. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Okay. So, I'd like to get some background on you.
Pizza is your favorite food. I got that so far, but let me get a
little bit more if you're okay with that. All l right. So, Scott, it's Nelson, right?
N-E-L-S-O-N? Yes. How old are you? Can I call you Scott or just Nelson?
What do you prefer? Scott's fine. Scott's okay.
What, how old are you, Scott? I'm 53. What's your date of birth?
2/28/64. Where were you born?
Brockton. Brockton. Where's that? Massachusetts.
Oh, from Oak North. Got the [inaudible]. Yes. You were born in Brockton, Mass?
Did you grow up there? Yes. Did you go to high school up there? Yes, I did.
Any college? No.
No? Alright. Military?
No military? Married?
No. Any ever close?
Nope. No. Really?
No. No. Divorce or anything? No.
Hey, you're a lucky one. Children? No children. Siblings, brothers, sisters? Yeah, I have a couple brothers. Couple older.
So, you're the youngest, huh? Yes. Can I ask you…?
Yeah, ask. Go ahead. I'm under arrest? Yes.
What are my charges? Right now we got some issues
with some credit card use. So, I'd like to go into that. And there's always two sides to every story. You understand that, and that's why we're talking to you
because obviously there's two sides to every story. I'd like to hear what you have to say about… What credit card?
Because I don't know the credit card. All right.
Well, we'll get into that a little bit. Bear with me, let me get through some of this stuff and
then we'll go right into that, okay? Sure. All right. The detective provides Nelson with food and begins to take Nelson's basic
information and read him his rights. Nelson wants to know exactly
what he is being charged with. This will help him avoid volunteering any information about
crimes that the police may not be aware of yet. So, well, let's talk about that.
So, you don't own a credit card? No. Do you have a debit card? An ATM card? I'm trying to think. I think I do. Well, you think you do? What does that mean? Well, I mean, what I don't have enough information. I mean, I… That's said, well,
let's walk through it. So, do you have any idea
why you think you may be here at all? No.
No? Well, let's go back a little bit. Sergeant Sue from Winter Park PDL.
I'm from Orlando Police Department. You're here in Jacksonville.
You were in Orlando last week? Yes. How long had you been in Orlando for? About four months.
Four months, okay. Where did you come from?
Where were you before you got to Orlando? Prison. Okay, so you got out of prison,
you came right to Orlando? Yes. Were you in prison in Florida or
were you in prison somewhere else? Somewhere else. Federal. [Inaudible]. Okay. [Inaudible]. What made you come to Orlando? It's just where they assigned me to. Oh, oh, for probation?
Yes. So, so you're doing some federal probation time? That's correct.
Okay. All right. And so you were assigned to Orlando.
So, you got to Orlando… Which is now in violation. Because you're in Jacksonville, right? Well, I've been arrested.
That does it probably more. Where were you staying in Orlando? Rescue Mission? Which one? West Central. The Rescue Mission over there.
Right by the old police station? Yes. [Inaudible] that thing down. Have you seen it? It's tough.
Crazy, right? Yeah. All right. So, you're at the Rescue Mission.
How did you like the Rescue Mission? Is it okay? Yeah, I mean, no one really wants to be there. No. But were they pretty strict? Yeah, very, very much so. Now were you working
while you were in Orlando? Yeah, I was working for painting business. Do you know the name of it? Yeah, Ayopa. It's in Winter Park. A-G-O-R-R-A? A-Y-O-P-A. Oh, okay. I know it's one of those Greek letter things.
No, no one gets it. All right. And it's just Ayopa painting? And it's in Winter Park?
Forsyth Park. Forsyth Park. How'd you wind up with that job? No, I just applied. Oh, good. Like an internet applied or
just in person or how did you come? In Person.
In person. And they hired you. What'd they have you doing? Painting apartments. Apartments. Like new apartments or old apartment?
Like refurbished or what? Like kind of the villages and
some pretty nice places. Were you on like a crew or
was it just you going out by yourself? No, me and a couple guys.
You and a couple guys. Did you do anything else besides apartments? Ever done houses or
anything like that or just apartments? Just pretty much apartment. Are you still employed with them? No.
When did that stop? A couple weeks ago.
A couple weeks ago? What happened? I'm just curious to know where this is all headed. Well, that's where we're getting to. I'm trying to understand where you
were in Orlando and everything else. And we're going to see where you were
and it'll help me understand what's going on too. So, it'll come out as we talk. So, bear with me here. How are you getting paid
by the painting company? Will I have an attorney coming in here? That's totally up to you. You tell me. I mean, oh yeah, no problem. What would you like? I think, I mean, since I’ve been arrested,
I think I’d like an attorney present to speak. All right, well then we have to stop. I mean go ahead. Go ahead. If you place me under arrest, then I’m going to get a lawyer anyway. You are. And listen, it’s totally up to you, right? I know you asked what this is about, right? It’s totally up to you.
Whatever you’d like, we have… We we’re not here to judge you. I know. Like the detective told you there’s
always two sides to every story. So, every person that’s arrested, we like to give them their
opportunity to just speak their mind. Let us know what their side of the story is. Maybe they had no involvement,
so that’s usually your only opportunity. But when you say you want a lawyer,
I just want to clarify, do you want a lawyer or you or not? I would like a lawyer. Okay. So, then unfortunately
we can’t give you that opportunity. Okay.
Okay. Alright. Good luck.
Thank you. I appreciate your time.
Yes, absolutely. [Inaudible] Sir. Yes. Nice try back. You’re going to put me in jail anyway. Nelson is remaining tight-lipped. He gives the shortest answers possible and
is very hesitant to say how he is getting paid. He has been through the system before
and he would prefer to have a lawyer, especially since he isn’t being told specifically why he is there and
how these questions are relevant. Hey Scott. We do need to collect what you’re wearing. And there’s a process to it, okay? So, if you just bear with us all,
we’re not trying inconvenience anything, we’ll give you something to wear
and everything else. We have to photograph everything. So, these nice people here
are going to be gentle with you. They’re going to tell you what to do.
You just listen to them. I appreciate that. But I need my glasses. Yeah, no, no. I mean, well, I have to have my glass. I can’t see you. Let’s start with everything else. We’ll work on everything else,
we’ll it figured out. Well, I mean,
I cannot see anything without my glasses. All right. I understand. I have to have these, they’re prescription. All right. Let’s where do you want to start? You want to start? Let’s start right here. You say we’ll work on it though, but I keep,
I mean these, my glasses think right? Bear with me that this is something [inaudible]. Now what if I don’t want to comply? We’ll hold you down. Do it. I didn’t know.
I’m going to hold you down and do it. Yeah, no problem. I mean, I just want…
We don’t want to. I’m asking question. Nelson asks what would happen
if he doesn’t comply and is informed that he will be held down
while they take the evidence. He starts to show a bit of anger, claiming that he was only asking a question. The question is hardly casual. And Nelson sounds like someone
who is trapped and knows it. He wants out of the situation,
but has no legal option. The best he can do is not
speak without a lawyer, but he can’t block them from
taking documentation photos. That’s fine. All right.
So, what do you need? Just hold on. Am I in your shot? No, you’re not. Now if I’m going to get naked,
does this lady have to be here? No, she can step out. One more.
We’re going to work with you. Yeah, no, I know. I just need my glasses
because I can’t see anything. I can’t even urinate
if I don’t have my glasses. Really? Is that bad?
I can’t see it all. All right. If you turn to your left,
we’ll get this done quick. Face the wall please. Okay, turn to your left again. Both hands out like this. There’s teamwork right there. Yes. This area? Your back toward, you have an injury here, a bruise or injury or anything? From here to here, looks like an indentation. There is maybe an old injury. Not that I recall. I’m going to touch you for just a second.
I’m talking about from here to here. There seems to be a pattern. See what I’m talking about?
Probably lying on the table. That’s logical. That’s what we wanted to — no problem. I’ve been weighing on it. Makes perfect sense. What appears to be an older
wound is found on Nelson’s arm. Although he claims that
he doesn’t recall getting hurt, given his desire to avoid
giving any straight answers. He may be lying. [Inaudible]. No, I don’t have in my pocket.
We need two sets. Large? Yes, that works for me. Midget for me, please. [Inaudible] It looks like you got some sun and hot. It got hot lately. I need a good job. You look to the wall. [Inaudible] [Inaudible] [Inaudible] I’m just letting up your hair going to help.
I should have told you that. If you could look up to the wall, please. I’m pulling your hair right?
No, no. All right, good. Anything that I missed? I think we’re good. One moment, we have socks and shoes. Socks. Can you photograph second? [Inaudible 00:22:40] I did in the overalls.
You did? Yeah. They’re in the overall front. What’s the matter now?
You’re going to love these. Why’s that?
Look at my toenails. Hello? Hello.
I’m gay, so, okay. It don’t matter to me. Which shade of red is that? I’m not sure. You’re not sure?
You got a favorite one that you use or? No, I’m gay. I’ve been my whole life, so,
that’s why I’ve never married to have kids. So, you may not want to know
where these come from. It’s one of those things, right. Okay. If you tell us this, it is all about you. We can’t question you about it.
We can’t question you about it. No problem. What do you want me to do now? You can sit right there and
then pull up your pant legs. Let just photograph your feet. Your feet up please. The bottoms. Pants are next. Take them off?
Yes. Please kick them off.
Check the pocket. Oh, sure, sure. We’ll check here. No problem. Do you have anything in pockets
that can stick to? No. You all situated okay with it?
Yeah, I know. I know it’s got to be uncomfortable. I do it. Yeah, it’s terrible. Please let me keep my glasses though, sir. Keep photographing whatever you want to do. Anything you want,
but I can’t see nothing. Nelson keeps insisting that
he be allowed to keep his glasses. Although so far taking them from him
has never been brought up. It is possible that he is trying to draw their
attention away from something else. Although it is hard to imagine what that could be
or how that would even be successful. I can’t even urinate.
I can’t fix myself or nothing. Look at the worst fishing in the world. Your face back to the wall, please. Can you hold marks where?
Yeah. Well, you know what?
Yeah, it’s good. We’ll do it. Oh, tore up. Got to get you the training class on
how to hold these, okay. And then can you turn to your left, please? Face the wall. [Inaudible] You need to go to a class. [Inaudible]. This look right? Come back down. Just put it right here. Can you move your foot just a little bit this way
and point your toe toward here. There you go. Okay, this up here? I’m not that old. Checking. If I can’t get up, then yeah,
she let me know. I’m gone too far. Okay, let’s do, okay. I’ll just put up right here. Not to make you feel uncomfortable. We got shorts.
So, this is for you put on, right? These are put on, we got some socks,
a pair of underwear and a top and a bottom. So, the next thing we have to do
is have you move your shorts. Oh, where’s the bag please? They go with the pants.
So, go ahead and [inaudible]. This is from shaving. I’m sorry?
This is from shaving. Face me, you hold the bag up? Yeah, you can just put your arms down. Let me know if I hurt you.
No, no, you’re okay. Turn around. Put your arms down please. Okay. Just so we can see, just got those, probably a couple more here. They were covered up on the shorts. Say what? Grab my flashlight out of my pocket. They’re having to take very thorough
pictures with Nelson completely nude, which is a process that most people,
guilty or innocent find uncomfortable. It takes skill to get everything that is needed
without being any more invasive than necessary. You need a little bit more light would help John? [Crosstalk] I’m take just check this. You want to document that? That’s up to you. You want to document it?
[Inaudible] probably from shaving. Okay. All right. Let’s get some clothes on. Trying to make you comfortable
as we process you. Can you look me the face for just a minute? [Inaudible]. What’s your first name? Scott? Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead and
take your glasses off for me. Just look straight at me.
Yeah, I’m looking straight at you. Look with me. Let me know if that hurts. Come on in. This what I the next thing I ask you do is you ever
had any head injuries or anything like that? Any scarred or anything on your head?
We’re not hurting you, are we? No.
Okay. Take this.
How we going to tap my hair? Nelson has his hair taken down so they can
check his scalp for any marks or injuries. Given the thickness of his hair,
it is unlikely that they will find anything. There are certain things you’re going
to have to probably get used to. We can control what we can control,
but we cannot control… I understand.
Okay. We’ll work with you, like I said, best I can. So, he’s going to do with the glasses
so you can keep them. So see, I told you I’ll do what I can.
No problem. Put on my glasses now. Hold on. Until he gets in. I can’t see nothing.
I understand. Thank you. I’m okay. You want you hang out here? Yeah, I think he’s just going to do
that and then we’re done. So yeah, buddy,
I will work with you as much as I can. My job is not make your life difficult,
I promise you. Are you okay if I leave you
a business card here? Sure. Would that be something that,
in case you change your mind and you speak to an attorney or whatever and
you do want to reach and talk to us? Okay. That’d be good. Thank you. I have not, like I said,
I don’t take that personal at all. Yes, sir. So I’ll sit down and talk you. Talk about where your favorite pizza place is. We can do that.
That’s not a problem. I’ll make that. Thank you. And I’m sorry you’re going to have a bad day.
I apologize. At least you can see, right? At least you can see.
At least I can see. Thank you. Was that bar okay? Which one?
Protein bar. Some of those tastes like sawdust and stuff. No, that was a pretty good one. Peanut can’t go wrong. Peanut never, never, never. No. You can’t go wrong with peanuts.
Peanut butter, anything peanuts good. I couldn’t imagine going through life with
peanut allergy or something like that. Poor people,
it’s one of those things that, you know… It will kill them. I mean, you know, you really sick from that. That’s crazy. I’ve seen someone allergy
get hospitalized for a couple weeks. Yeah. It’s crazy.
Yeah, we have good photographs of those too, right, sir? They’re off on while he’s wearing them. Can we do them separate too if you don’t mind.
Pretty please. Thank you. You okay? Tired. It’s getting late. It’s about 11.30. Is it?
Yes, sir. You a morning person or a night person? I’m morning. Morning? Yeah. I see you’re exhausted then. Yeah. Tired, hungry. Because Nelson has asked for a lawyer, the detective must be careful not only
about not asking him any questions, but also must say anything that could be construed as pressuring Nelson
into speaking without an attorney. This wasn’t Nelson’s first kidnapping. In 1994, he kidnapped his own father, took him to a bank and
forced him to withdraw $10,000. This earned him a stay in prison for 15 years, a bank robbery in 2010, sent him back to prison for
another seven and a half years. Once released, Nelson remains on probation
and tries to find a steady job. This worked for a while before he was fired. An action he blamed on his probation officer. Nelson considered killing the man in retaliation, but refused to explain
why he ultimately turned his attention to Fulford. The charges against Nelson for grand theft
credit card theft and identity theft were dropped. Nelson hinted that he had information
about eight more murders for which he was never caught, and said that he would share it
if he were given more food. He also said that
he would prefer the death penalty, which halted proceedings while he was
evaluated for competency to stand trial. Once he was declared fit,
a jury was selected. Scott Nelson was found guilty on
all remaining charges against him and sentenced to life in prison
without the possibility of parole. Hopefully you enjoyed the video. If you did, there is a Patreon link in the description
where you can support the channel further. Thank you for watching.
I’ll see you in the next one.
