Victor, I just spoke to Frankie Jacobson's sister Sherry today.
Had to pick out three matching white coffins for tomorrow's
funeral. And all the while, she's
wondering how and why the man that her sister loved so much
(01:21):
could have murdered her and their children.
You know, I went to the jail yesterday and they wouldn't let
me go in to see him. All I wanted to ask him was,
Neil, what did you do? What did you do?
Sherry Kazancian doesn't understand why Neil Jacobson,
(01:41):
her mortgage broker brother-in-law, shot and killed
her sister Frankie and her twin nephews, Joshua and Eric.
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know what can make someone do something like this.
I don't know. I wish I did know.
If I did know, I would do everything in my power to save
her and to save him. I wouldn't want this him to be
(02:03):
in this situation. And the children there was so
adorable. I mean, there was 7, but they
still had that child's voice. Just listening to their voice,
you know, they had the little, the little boy voice.
Sherri says Neil was depressed about money, about failed
business deals, but that Frankiewas optimistic and always
encouraged him. She cared about him.
She wanted, she didn't want, shedidn't want 11 hair on his head
(02:29):
to she can't. She didn't want to be damaged or
hurt or feel pain. She loved him with her whole
heart. Sherri says one detective told
her that Neil shot Frankie firstbut that she wasn't dead and she
got up and chased him as he headed for the boys room and
then Neil shot his wife dead before going on to kill his
children. I, I think he was very selfish
(02:50):
and I think he is a coward. I mean, to kill your wife and
your children and then to take Xanax and say he's and then take
and you end up falling asleep. I said that that to me is such,
so ridiculous. You know, I mean, it's, he was a
cat. Obviously he was a cat.
(03:11):
Obviously he's a coward. And I mean in an evil
individual. I mean, you have to be an evil
individual to do something so heinous.
And in the end, Sherri can only deal with the pain and the loss.
I love her, I stay at night and I try to go through my mind the
different scenarios I could havepossibly been and how she felt
(03:35):
and what she went through. Obviously, a very, very painful
moment for all the family left behind.
Now, Sherry tells me that Neil had a lot of money.
They had enough to live on even though he wasn't working.
But he wanted bigger deals, wanted to make a lot more money.
And that he became very depressed, actually went on
antidepressants just a few weeksago at Frankie's urging.
(03:58):
But she says, you know, a lot ofpeople all throughout America
are going through economic crisis right now, and they don't
end up killing their wife and children.
She just doesn't understand. Live in West Palm Beach.
Terry Parker, WPBF 25 News. Hello my demon Insiders and
welcome back to The Demon Inside.
I'm your host, John Benham, and today we are going to be talking
(04:22):
about The Demon Inside Neil M Jacobson.
Now before I begin, I want to send out a couple of shout outs.
1 is to a very good friend of mine, Margie who I used to work
with at a hospital a long time ago and we recently got back in
(04:46):
touch with each other and she isthe best funniest woman ever and
I just wanted to send her a shout out as well as her sister
Julie who I have never met but according to Margie she listens
to my show. So this is for Margie and Julie
(05:08):
on today's show. This is going to be a
continuation of last week we talked about Paul Michael
marriage and I kind of alluded to the fact that it was going to
be connected to these other shows that I that I'm about to
do. And the way I'm connecting these
(05:31):
is by location and by time and date, or actually by date.
And I want you to follow along in the next three episodes,
these three episodes. I'm going to try to connect the
dots for you and try to explain it as best I can the way I see
(05:51):
it. But before we do that, let's go
ahead and get into the history of Neil Jacobson.
And let me just say this. I don't have a lot on him, but
what I do have is very interesting guys.
So Neil was born March of 1960 and in 89 when he was 29 years
(06:15):
old, he lived in Bayside, Queens, NY in an apartment
complex where he met his soon tobe wife and they were both
stockbrokers at the time. He had his firm in Long Island
and she was working for ShearsonLehman Brothers on Wall Street.
(06:42):
So his wife adored him and she would do anything for him.
And according to a friend of thefamily of his family, she said
that Neil was the sweetest, nicest guy you ever wanted to
meet. He was only always the Golden
Boy of the family. So after they met, they fell in
(07:09):
love and they were both working for stockbrokers, like I said,
and they decided to start a mortgage company.
So they left their field, they started a mortgage company and
they moved to New Jersey and this was in 1993.
By 2007, he decided that they should move to Florida and by
(07:34):
this time they are they had twinsons.
She went along with it because he said that they could make
more money in Florida and their finances would be better.
Even though he was worth $2.2 million, he still looked at
investing and trying to find a better market.
(07:57):
But in 2007 and 2008 and 2009, we had the financial crisis that
hit our country, so they startedto struggle financially and by
this time he had started fallinginto depression.
(08:23):
His wife encouraged him to go tothe doctor, which he did and on
January the 2nd of 2010 he was diagnosed with Vertigo and
depression. Now he was complaining about
feeling dizzy and he felt lethargic and this was like
(08:44):
right after Christmas of December of 2009.
So the doctor prescribed him Xanax and Zoloft.
Now as soon as he started takingthese, his family said that and
his friends said that he startedto change very quickly.
According to them, he started hallucinating, becoming anxious
(09:07):
and paranoid and he started to struggle to sleep properly.
Also, by this time, by 2010 he was in the hole $2.3 million.
(09:28):
His finances were so far gone that he felt like he couldn't go
any further and this was not acceptable to him.
So what he ended up doing was writing a suicide note.
He wrote that his family would be better off if they were to
(09:55):
just not be alive anymore. Basically, he says that he loves
his family, he doesn't want themto suffer.
He didn't want them to go through this whole shame of
being poor. But I've heard also that his
wife actually said that they hadthe funds and they were doing
(10:18):
OK. Now, his sister and her sisters
also said that if they were in trouble financially, they could
have helped them out. But according to Neil, there was
no other way. Now, the only reason I'm talking
about this suicide note is because, according to Neil, this
(10:42):
was something that he wrote before and he didn't mean it.
He was just getting his anxiety out or he was getting his
frustrations out on a paper. A lot of people write suicide
notes and they don't go through with it.
Maybe that's what this was at the time, maybe it wasn't.
(11:05):
The police found the suicide notes, and they automatically
assumed that this was his intentions.
And because he was going broke, that's why he killed his family
and tried to kill himself. But let's continue.
So on Saturday the 23rd of January 2010, Neil described
(11:25):
what happened that day. And I quote, I woke up early in
the morning and I remember I'm in my closet and I'm kind of
sitting on the floor hearing voices.
The voices were telling them I got to go.
Now's the time you have to go. And these voices just kept
(11:47):
getting louder and louder and more intense.
His paranoia started because they were in debt.
And he thought that the FBI was looking into a case involving
him, that he had taken out a loan.
And he was afraid because this loan was given to him and it was
(12:15):
a type of loan where he, let's say, just guesstimated.
That's a word. He guessed how much he was
making at the time, and they gave him a loan, but he wasn't
really making that much money atthe time.
He was just getting the loan to cover his downfalls.
(12:39):
So he started to think that the FBI was after him and that's why
he was thinking that I got to go.
Now I'm not so sure about that. I've heard that from a another
podcast and I haven't read that in any of the transcripts or any
(13:01):
of the psychological evals or anything, so I'm not sure if
that's even real. But what I do know is he was
sitting in his closet and he wasthinking I got to go and he was
hearing the voices while he was in the closet.
He reached up and grabbed a Smith and Wesson 5 shot revolver
(13:24):
and he grabbed 38 caliber bullets.
His wife walked into the closet and asked him, what are you
doing in here? Neil says, And I quote, honey,
it's over. It's just over.
There's no other way in, quote, she pleaded with him.
(13:48):
She said, I don't want to die. I don't want to die, I want to
live. And she said, what about the
boys? He said, And I quote, we all
have to go. And he said this in a slow, deep
voice. So she lunged for the gun.
(14:10):
They fell to the floor. They were struggling for the gun
and she actually broke a tooth and she sliced her index finger.
And he ended up shooting her twice in the face.
Now, according to the news mediathat you heard earlier, they
said that she was actually stillalive and ran after him when he
(14:32):
was going to the children's roomand he shot her again.
I wasn't able to confirm that ordeny that because I couldn't
find anything about it. But the fact remains that he did
kill his wife. And then he moved on to his
son's rooms. Now he reloaded and he even had
(14:53):
two speed loaders in his front pockets.
Now keep in mind these are twin boys and they both had their own
bedroom. Their birthday, they were seven
years old at the time and their birthday was that afternoon and
he ended up shooting the first brother in the face twice.
(15:20):
He started to hear gurgling noises from his son because his
son wasn't dead yet. So he grabbed the pillow, put it
over his son's face and then shot him two more times.
Then he went into his second son's room where he put the
pillow over his face and keep inmind he was asleep as well.
(15:43):
Now this is something that freaks me out because even on
the last episode that we talked about, sometimes when people are
asleep, I would think they wouldhear a gunshot.
Last time we talked about Paul Michael marriage, the little
girl who was asleep in her bed never woke up with the gunshots.
(16:06):
His two sons on this episode, Neil his two sons didn't hear
the gunshots. The second son he walks Neil
walks into the room puts the pillow over his face and shoots
him twice. After that, Neil goes and washes
(16:29):
his hands in the bathroom to getrid of the blood.
He grabbed the keys to his car. He returned, listen to this, he
returned to the children's roomsand said this and I quote, come
on, hurry, get up, he said, shaking them.
(16:51):
If you don't get up, I'm going to have to leave without you in
quote. So after that, he left the
house. He grabbed or he had Vicodin and
he grabbed Zoloft and the Xanax that were prescribed to him, and
(17:12):
he took all the pills he got in his car and he drove in a sort
of way to commit suicide. He crashes into a ditch.
This is where the police find him.
Now he's still alive and he's got blood on his clothes.
(17:33):
And the first thing he tells thepolice officers is I killed my
family. They're back there and he told
them where the house was. Now, people don't understand why
he did this. They said that he was the most
loving person to his wife and kids.
(17:55):
He was very giving. He was very happy.
They knew he was depressed, Theyjust didn't know how depressed.
And they, like I said, the cops said that this was because of
his finances. So now I want to take you back
to a suicide note and there's a few things that he wrote.
(18:19):
I was trying to find all 5 pagesbecause he wrote a 5 page
suicide note and I couldn't findit.
But I could find little highlights of what he did right?
So I'm going to read those to you now.
He said I love my family more than anything else in this world
and just could not handle what we are facing due to my poor
(18:41):
judgment. I had put us in a position that
we will lose everything we have built.
I overindulged in the real estate boom.
I do not know what happened to me.
There is no way my family will be able to recover and they are
looking at being destitute. I cannot allow our life with
(19:05):
this. The anxiety is eating me alive.
I am embarrassed and ashamed of what I have done, and taking
your own life is bad enough, buttaking that of your own flesh
and blood is an act that cannot be understood.
Now that's what he wrote on his suicide note, but he says all
(19:32):
the time that he loved his family and he doesn't understand
why he did it. Now, let me share this with you
and you're going to freak out onthis.
This is from Paul, and this is what he says.
He says, and he's talking about the day that he shot his family.
He says, and I quote, I woke up early that morning and I
(19:53):
remember I'm in my closet and I'm kind of sitting on the floor
and hearing voices. The voices are telling them, you
got to go, now's the time you got to go.
And these voices just became louder and louder and more
intense. Then he says this.
It wasn't a plan. It was more of a mental
(20:15):
emergency that something had to occur.
I would wake up in the morning and I would have these thoughts.
We got to go, we got to go. We've got to leave, we've got to
go. It was early morning agitation
and as the days wore on, the thoughts would disappear.
(20:36):
End Quote. Now here's the part that I find
interesting, he says. I remember that distinctly.
It was not my voice. It was not my mannerisms.
I am not saying I was possessed.I don't believe in that.
(20:59):
What I am saying is that the medication did something to me.
The Zoloft, it felt like my brain was literally on fire.
It felt like it was so hot. End Quote.
We have heard this before where the person says that their body
feels hot where they end up taking off their clothes and
(21:22):
everybody thinks it's bath salts.
This guy wasn't taking bath salts.
It wasn't taking. He was just taking
antidepressants for his depression, so why would it make
him feel like it was hot? Now let me explain to you why
I'm doing this show as well as how I'm finding my patterns.
(21:48):
This happened in January of 2010and the exact date that he went
to the doctor to get his medications, that he felt dizzy,
that he felt like he needed helpwas January 2nd, 2010.
(22:08):
Now this was happening in Florida and if you were to go
down all the way to the Keys where Paul Michael marriage was
hiding at the Florida Keys at the hotel, January 2nd was the
(22:28):
day that they caught him. Now could it be possible that
this demon came out of Paul Michael marriage when they
brought him over and he found this guy and he thought this is
perfect for me to jump into him.Now let me explain why I think
(22:50):
it's the same demon. I think this demon has a sense
of humor because he jumped into a dad that had twin sons.
The last person, Paul Michael marriage, killed his twin
sisters. What are the chances that the
(23:11):
two families that were annihilated had twins in their
gene pool? Think about that for a second.
OK, now here's something else face biter people that I was
telling you about. We started with Miami with Rudy
(23:32):
Eugene in 2012. Paul Michael marriage drove from
Miami all the way up to Jupiter,FL.
Keep that in mind. So the next person that became a
face eater was Annison Joseph. Annison Joseph happened in
(23:55):
Delray. This crime happened 20 miles
away from him. This is not a coincidence.
This is a pattern. For me as an investigator, there
are no coincidences. The years are off and I'll
(24:19):
explain that as I go along on these episodes.
But here's the thing for me right now, this demon that kills
people traveled to Neil Jacobson's house and killed his
(24:44):
family. Everybody wonders why he did it,
and he doesn't even know why he did it.
He's still having a hard time dealing with it.
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't demonic possession.
I don't know. Maybe it was demonic infestation
(25:08):
where he's hearing the voices and he gives in to the voices
because that's what he said. So now we have, and let me
explain, remember we have four types of demonic things that
happen to people. We have infestation, obsession,
(25:31):
oppression, and possession. The first one with Paul Michael
marriage was obsession. This one is oppression.
Trust me guys, you're going to want to listen to the next two
episodes and it'll make sense. Thanks for listening.
