Nancy Moore's shocking testimony as Shan Didecombe's ex girlfriend referred
to as Jane, took the stand and remembered the disturbing
events surrounding the music moguls alleged assault of former partner
Cassie Ventira. Jane, who was in bed with Combs when
the infamous twenty sixteen assault videos surfaced online, described the
(00:41):
very eerie atmosphere as Combs and his team scrambled to
control the damaging situation. According to Jane, Combs went into
damage control mode, attempting to craft a quote sincere apology
regarding the video which appeared to show him chasing, kicking,
and striking Ventira, But Jane said she was completely quote
(01:02):
underwhelmed by Combe's eventual public apology, saying there was no
heart there and ultimately expressing disappointment in his response. However,
Jane's testimony took an even more disturbing turn as she
detailed a recent alleged violent incident with Combs. On June eighteenth,
twenty twenty four, Jane said she was with Combs and
(01:24):
they got into an argument during a date night at home,
where she accused him of being with a much younger
woman during a recent family vacation. Jane alleged that Combs
then physically assaulted her, choking, punching, kicking, and dragging her
by the hair, actions that mirrored the assault on Cassie Ventira.
She claimed Combs later instructed her to take drugs and
(01:46):
engage in sexual acts with another person, in which she
described as an act of cohersion. The court was shown
evidence of Jane's injuries, including a bruised eye and welts
on her forehead. As the cross examination approaches, the trial
promises to delve deeper into the troubling allegations against Combs,
who has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering,
(02:10):
and transportation to engage in prostitution. We will keep you
posted as this trial unfolds.

Now to Washington State where Whitney Decker, the heartbroken mother
of three young girls, has broken her silence after her
daughter's tragic death. Peyton nine, Evelyn eight, and Olivia five
were allegedly suffocated by their father, Travis Decker, who remains
at large. According to Whitney, she knew her daughters were
in substantial danger when Travis failed to return them after
(02:45):
a scheduled visit on Friday. She pleaded with police to
issue an Amber alert, but her requests were denied as
the case did not meet the requirements. Tragically, the girl's
bodies were discovered at a camp site twenty miles from
their Washington State home owned Monday. Their wrist had been
bound with zip ties and each child had been suffocated
(03:05):
with a plastic bag. Travis Decker, an Afghanistan veteran, is
now wanted on suspicions of their murder. He reportedly suffers
from complex PTSD and other mental health issues. The father
of three vanished into the woods and remains on the run,
considered dangerous due to his military training in his propensity
for violence. Through her attorney, Ariana Kozart, Whitney has spoken
(03:29):
out alleging that this tragedy could have been completely avoided
if officials had intervened. She says she begged the police
to act, but her police fell on deaf ears. She
also said that she stood in family court and begged
for changes in the supervised visitations with her ex husband Travis.
Authorities have shared the latest images of the wanted suspect,
(03:53):
hoping the public can help locate the elusive Travis Decker.

up to twenty thousand dollars for any information leading to
his arrest. This heartbreaking case has left a family shattered
and a community in mourning as the search for the
fugitive father continues. Whitney Decker's anguished cries echo the painful
(04:14):
reality that this tragedy may have been preventable.
