Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was May of twenty nineteen in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The beach town was alive with summer tourists buzzing boardwalks
and neum lights. Teenagers strolled the sand with cotton candy
and cell phones, and the warm ocean breeze carried a
sense of freedom. But beneath the surface of this sunny paradise,
something dark was growing inside a local apartment. In a

(00:21):
shocking case that would rattle the community, a young woman
was murdered bludgeoned to death in her own bedroom. The killer,
her boyfriend, the reason, his mother. This is the story
of how obsession, manipulation, and control ended in bloodshed. J
c Row was just nineteen years old when her life
was tragically cut short. She was living in Daytona Beach, Florida,

(00:44):
in a small apartment just a short walk from the
sand in Waves. It was May of twenty nineteen, and
while most people were thinking about beach trips and barbecues,
jac was focused on building her future. She worked as
a barista at the busy Starbucks on South Atlantic Avenue,
near the boardwalk, where turists lined up every morning for
caramel Machiado's and iced green teas. Regulars there knew her

(01:05):
as the girl with the big smile, bright eyes, and
always something cheerful to say. She often wore colorful butterfly
hair clips, big denim jackets, and carried a tote bag
with stickers from bands like Asterisk and Assuayancy, The Backstreet Boys,
and Hansen. When she wasn't working, Jacey took classes at
Daytona State College. She was majoring in early childhood education

(01:28):
and wanted to become a preschool teacher. She had a
big dream of opening her own daycare one day and
even had a name picked out Little Moons. She kept
a notebook full of doodles and ideas for the daycare,
including what snacks she would serve and how she would
decorate the playroom. Her room had postures of The Spice Girls,
Lisa Frank, folders, and a whiteboard where she kept track

(01:49):
of her goals and weekly budget. Jasey had recently moved
in with her boyfriend, Tanner Doyle, which caused tension at home.
Her mother, Denise Rowe and older sister Savannah had strong
opinions and didn't approve of the move, but Jace was
determined to prove she could take care of herself. She
and Tanner lived in a one bedroom apartment just off
Grandview Avenue. It wasn't fancy, but it was close to

(02:12):
the beach and had a view of the ocean if
you leaned out far enough from the balcony. In the
days leading up to her death, Jace was extra busy.
She picked up extra shifts at Starbucks, helped the coworker
cover early morning hours, and worked late at night. She
was saving money for a used Honda Civic she found
list of on Facebook marketplace. She told friends she couldn't

(02:33):
wait to drive to work in school instead of waiting
on the number sixty bus. She was also shopping online
for toys, books, and furniture ideas for her future daycare.
On Instagram, she shared pictures of her favorite toddler play
mats and a post about early childhood development tips. To
those who knew her. It seemed like Jace was just
getting started. It was Sunday morning, May nineteen, twenty nineteen

(02:57):
in Daytona Beach, Florida. The sun was already bright, and
the sidewalks near the beach were filling up with early
tourists grabbing breakfast sandwiches from Duncan or walking their dogs
at the Starbucks on South Atlantic Avenue. The morning crew
was busy prepping for one of their busiest days of
the week, but something was off. J c Rowe, one
of their most dependable workers, had not shown up for

(03:18):
her seven am shift. Her manager, Carla Blevins, a thirty
nine year old mother of two, tried calling Jace's cell
phone several times. When the calls went straight to voicemail,
Carla became worried. Jace was rarely late and always gave
a heads up if she couldn't make it. After trying
to reach her again through text and social media, Carla

(03:38):
made the decision to send another employee to check on her.
Miguel Lokez, a twenty two year old college student and
Fello barista, agreed to stop by Jac's apartment during his break.
He had visited her place once before to help her
set up a Wi Fi router and knew where she lived,
just a ten minute drive up Grandview Avenue, not far

(03:59):
from Seabree's Bull When Mikael arrived around seven forty five am,
he noticed Jace's car wasn't in the parking lot, but
the apartment door was slightly open. He knocked a few
times and called her name. There was no answer. Inside
the apartment was quiet. The living room looked normal, TV off,
dishes in the sink, a half empty cup of iced

(04:19):
coffee on the counter. But as Miguel stepped into the bedroom,
everything changed. The bed was a mess. Jacey was lying there, motionless,
face up. Blood covered her head, chest, and part of
a wall behind her. Her arms were stretched out and
the sheets were soaked through. There were no signs of
movement or life. Her phone was in pieces on the floor, shattered.

(04:42):
Miguel backed out of the room, quickly, wreathing heavily. He
ran outside and used his phone to call nine one one.
His voice was shaky and he could barely give the
words out At first. He told the dispatcher what he
saw and stayed on the line until officers arrived. The
scene would soon become one of the most horrifying Daytona
Beach police had seen that year, A quiet young woman

(05:02):
found murdered in her own bed, just blocks from where
thousands of tourists sipped ice lats and soaked up the sun.
Police arrived at J. C. Rose apartment just before eight
fifteen am on Sunday, May nineteen, twenty nineteen. The Daytona
Beach Police Department responded quickly after the nine to one
to one call from Mio Lopez, a coworker who had

(05:23):
found her body during a welfare check. Two detectives were
assigned to lead the case, Detective al Aina Vass forty two,
a tough and experienced investigator known for her calm focus
under pressure, and Detective Jeremy Shaw, just nineteen and recently
assigned to homicide. It was his first major case, and
the gruesome scene clearly shook him. The apartment was on

(05:45):
the second floor of a bage three story building near
Grandview Avenue. From the outside, nothing looked unusual. A neighbor
across the hall told officers they hadn't heard anything overnight,
just the usual hum of traffic and the sound of
waves crashing in the distance. The weather that morning was
already hot and muggy, with a strong floor to sun,
adding to the discomfort inside the small apartment. Once inside,

(06:08):
officers carefully taped off the scene. They used disposable shoe covers, gloves,
and masks to avoid contaminating any evidence. The living room
and kitchen appeared normal. A TV remote sat on the couch.
A box of Lucky Charms was on the counter, and
a Starbuck's apron was hanging on a hook near the
front door. But the bedroom told a different story. Jacey

(06:30):
was found on her bed, lying flat on her back.
Her body was surrounded by blood and the sheets beneath
her were soaked through. She had been struck fourteen times
in the head and chest with a cast iron skillet.
It was later confirmed that the skillet came from her
own kitchen. It had been left near the dresser, its
handle bent, covered in dried blood and hair. Jacey's wrists

(06:51):
had deep bruises and faint red marks that showed she
had been restrained before the attack. Investigators believed she had
been tied down using cord cloth, but the bindings were
missing when police arrived. Next to her body, officers found
a yellow sticky note on the nightstand. It had seven
words written in thick black sharpie I wasn't good enough

(07:12):
for you either. The handwriting was large and messy, as
if written quickly or emotionally. Jasey's phone had been shattered
and tossed into the corner of the room. Police later
learned it had been smashed on purpose, possibly to erase
texts or recalls. The crime scene team took dozens of photographs,
collected fibers, and dusted for fingerprints throughout the apartment. They

(07:33):
also used luminal, a chemical that detects traces of blood,
to search for any attempts to clean the scene. It
revealed several smudges and prints leading from the bed to
the front door. The entire scene pointed toward a crime
of rage, something personal and deeply emotional. The first person
police looked at closely was Tanner Doyle, j c. Rose's

(07:53):
boyfriend of almost a year. Tanner was twenty years old
and had been living with Jace in their small Daytona
beach apark for about four months. He was found the
same morning of the murder, May nineteen, twenty nineteen, around
nine o'clock am, wandering barefoot along the sand near Main
Street Pier. He was wearing Pagema pants and a Daytona
State College reitty, but his shoes didn't match one sneaker

(08:15):
and one slide sandal. Tourists and early beach joggers noticed
him because he looked confused and out of place. A
nearby patrol officer approached him after someone called in a
tip about a man acting strangely near the boardwalk. When
asked his name, Tanner spoke quietly and said he didn't
feel well. He mentioned he had taken a large dose
of mike Well the night before because he was stressed

(08:37):
and couldn't sleep. He claimed he woke up that morning
on the beach and didn't remember how he got there.
Tanner was brought to the station for questioning. He didn't
fight or resist. He was pale, thin, and kept rubbing
his eyes like he was waking from a bad dream.
Tanner worked night shifts at a local print shop called
color Wave, located off Ridgewood Avenue. He had a passion

(08:59):
for drawing and had created dozens of digital illustrations, mostly
inspired by Annaon and Marvel comics. He was also taking
occasional online design courses and hoped to build a freelance
business on Fiver or Etsy someday. Friends and coworkers described
Tanner as a quiet guy, kind a little socially awkward,
and easily overwhelmed. He had struggled with anxiety since middle

(09:22):
school and had been in therapy on and off. He
was known for carrying peppermint gum in his footy pocket,
and always listening to low fi hip hop playlists on
Spotify during breaks. But many people also mentioned his strange
closeness with his mother, Nancy Doyle. Nancy often showed up
at the apartment without calling first. She brought over groceries,
folded his laundry, and sometimes reorganized their fridge. Neighbors reported

(09:45):
seeing her there even when Jace wasn't home. Some friends
believed she didn't like Jace and saw her as a
threat to her relationship with her son. One even said
that Nancy once called jac a distraction during a backyard barbecue.
During his police interview, Tanner answered questions slowly and seemed confused.
He didn't deny being home the night of the murder,

(10:05):
but said he couldn't remember anything clearly. He told detectives
that Jacey had gone to bed first and he stayed
up scrolling on his phone. He claimed he later took
niquill to sleep, but couldn't remember anything else. His voice
stayed soft and he never raised it, but detectives noticed
how often he hesitated. His statements didn't match the timeline
or physical evidence, while his day's state seemed real, his

(10:28):
lack of memory raised serious concerns. Two days after j c.
Rowe was found dead, Daytona Beach police brought in forty
eight year old Nancy Doyle for questioning. Nancy was the
mother of Tanner Doyle, Jacey's boyfriend, and the first suspect interviewed.
From the moment she entered the station, investigators noticed her
strange behavior. She was overly calm, almost too composed for

(10:50):
someone whose son was tied to a murder. She wore
a neat pantsuit, had fresh make up, and carried a
leather planner that she kept flipping through even during the interview.
Nancy was not shy about sharing her opinions. She spoke
in a matter of fact tone and showed little sadness
or concern for Jac's death. She described Jace as controlling
in fake and said she believed Jace was using her

(11:12):
son to get attention. She claimed that Jace didn't really
love Tanner and was just pretending to care so she
could live rent free and get rides to school. Nancy
used to be a dental hygienist, but had recently switched
careers to become a self declared life coach. She promoted
herself online through Facebook groups and a blog filled with
motivational quotes and parenting advice. She also published a short

(11:35):
e book called How to Raise a Perfect Son, which
she sold on Amazon for four dollars and ninety nine cents.
In her posts, she often wrote about protecting your son's
light and avoiding toxic women. People who knew Nancy in
the neighborhood described her as too involved in her adult
son's life. She often showed up at Jace in Tanner's
apartment unannounced, bringing bags of groceries or folding his laundry

(11:57):
while Jace was at work. On more than one as,
neighbors saw her peeking through the apartment window or sitting
in her car outside for long periods of time. One
neighbor said Nancy once got into an argument with Jace
in the parking lot over something as small as where
Tanner's socks were kept. Some friends of Tanner told police
that Nancy often referred to jac as a threat and

(12:17):
claimed that girls like her ruined good boys. A coworker
of Tanner said he once overheard Nancy say that she
was the only one who truly understood her son. She
was even known to refer to herself as Tanner's one
true soulmate during public conversations. During her interview with detectives
Alina Voss and Jeremy Shaw, Nancy was first polite, but

(12:37):
gradually grew cold when asked personal questions. When they brought
up her relationship with Tanner, she became defensive. She tried
to change the subject, questioned the officer's intentions, and at
one point asked us she needed to call a lawyer.
Her body language shifted and she crossed her arms tightly
across her chest. Though Nancy never admitted to anything illegal,

(12:58):
detectives quickly saw red flags. Her intense emotional hold on
Tanner and her open hatred toward Jace made her more
than just a concerned mother. Police marked her as emotionally unstable, obsessive,
and possibly dangerous. On May twenty four, twenty nineteen, just
four days after the shocking murder of twenty two year
old j c Row Daytona Beach, detectives uncovered a disturbing

(13:22):
new lead. As they calmed through Tanner Doyle's laptop for
any signs of digital communication between him and his mother
or Jace, they stumbled across a hidden folder filled with
PDF files. These files were screenshots taken from a private
online forum called The Bond Mothers. This secret group wasn't
just for parenting tips or support. It was something darker.

(13:43):
The Bond Mothers was a closed online community made up
of women who believed their adult sons should remain spiritually
and emotionally connected to them for life without interference from
romantic partners. Members referred to outsiders, especially girlfriends and flancies,
as invaders or distractions. The group's motto, found at the
top of each post, read no woman will ever love

(14:05):
him like mom. The messages investigators found were troubling. Posts
encouraged mothers to take extreme steps to break up their
son's relationships. Some members bragged about pretending to be sick
to guilt their sons into spending more time with them.
Others described planting fake evidence of cheating, snooping through phones,
or even starting arguments to drive wages between their sons

(14:25):
and their partners. One file contained several long journal entries
posted by Nancy Doyle Tanner's mother. These entries had been
shared the night before Jac's murder. In them, Nancy vented
about how she believed Jace was ruining her son's life
and taking him away from her. She described feeling erased
and abandoned. The most chilling part was the final line

(14:46):
of her last entry, tomorrow I get my boy back.
No more competition. Detectives quickly realized this wasn't an isolated case.
They contacted cyber crime experts to trace other members of
the bond mothers uncovered verring more reports from across the country.
Some local police departments had open cases involving sudden breakups,
missing girlfriends, and even unexplained deaths. In one case out

(15:09):
of Oregon, a college student's fiance vanished days after the
mother had posted in the same forum about her disapproval.
In Texas, a newly wod couple had filed for a
restraining order after the groom's mother allegedly tried to poison
the bride's food during a family cookout. Back in Florida,
detectives issued a sapoena to the hosting platform that managed
the bond mother's servers. Investigators hoped to gather IP addresses

(15:33):
use her names in private messages to better understand the
group's reach and possibly link other mothers to similar crimes.
While there was still no hard proof tying Nancy directly
to Jac's murder. The psychological evidence was growing. Nancy's posts
showed a disturbing mindset, one fueled by jealousy, control, and
an obsession with her son's life choices. The idea that

(15:54):
a mother might go to such lengths to reclaim her
son added a horrifying new layer to the investigation. On
May twenty five, twenty nineteen, investigators turned their attention to
Savannah Row, the thirty four year old older sister of
murder victim J c Rowe. Savannah was known around the
Daytona Beach in Saint Augustine Areas for her unusual lifestyle

(16:14):
and outspoken personality. She ran a small women only commune
just outside of Saint Augustine, Florida, called the Growl House.
The community was based on themes from the early two
thousands Disney Channel movie series The Chieva Girls, which featured
a girl group promoting self expression, sisterhood, and independence through
music and fashion. Savannah, who insisted every one at the

(16:36):
commune call her girl Sage, wore long blue part print roads,
carried a glittery microphone at all times, and kept her
dyed purple hair wrapped in metallic scars. She even had
a tattoo of Raven simone star of the Cheetah Girls,
covering most of her back. Followers of the Gravel House
engaged in regular rituals that included emotional song circles, midnight affirmations,

(16:58):
fasting challenges, and turn sessions. According to her online blog,
Savannah believed in purging negative energy by singing loudly and
fasting during full moons. Investigators had reason to be suspicious
Savannah had a rocky relationship with her younger sister, Jace.
Public social media posts dating back several years showed signs
of tension. In one older video from twenty seventeen, Savannah

(17:21):
accused Jace of being brainwashed by the patriarchy because Jace
had posted engagement photos with Tanner. Savannah had also been
known to send voice messages to family members that included
strange remixed versions of Disney Channel songs like Cheetah Sisters
and Amikas Cheetas with angry lyrics edited in. Despite the
strange behavior, police followed up with a formal interview at

(17:43):
the Graulhouse. When detectives arrived, they found about a dozen
women dressed in animal prints, dancing barefoot in a circle
to a bluetooth speaker playing early two thousands girl pop.
Savannah greeted them with what she called a healing howl,
and then calmly sat down to answer their questions. She
didn't seem upset or even surprised about Jac's murder. Her alibi, however,

(18:05):
was solid. She had been at the commune all night
on May eighteenth into the morning of May nineteen, leading
what she described as a full moon cleansing fast. Several
of her followers confirmed she had not left the property.
Cell Phone records backed up her story. There was no
sign she had traveled to Daytona Beach the night Jace died.
While Savannah's beliefs and actions raised eyebrows and her behavior

(18:27):
was certainly unusual, detectives ultimately found no evidence tying her
to the crime. They labeled her emotionally unstable but legally uninvolved.
Investigators shifted their focus back to individuals closer to Jace
and Tanner's immediate circle, particularly Tanner's mother, Nancy, and those
involved in the bond Mother's forum. The case was growing

(18:48):
more complex, but with each person cleared, the attention narrowed.
Police knew they had to keep digging deeper to understand
who could have wanted Jace dead and why. By May
twenty seven, twenty nineteen, just over a week after the
murder of twenty eight year old j c Rowe, police
finally made an arrest. After days of interviews, digital evidence,

(19:09):
in psychological reports, detectives determined that the person responsible was
her husband, Tanner Doyle. The arrest shocked many in their
Daytona Beach neighborhood, especially those who had seen the couple
as quiet and well matched. Investigators discovered that the killing
was not planned out in the traditional sense, but had
been building for months due to emotional pressure and manipulation.

(19:30):
The main source of that influence, police said was Tanner's mother,
Nancy Doyle. Nancy, fifty six, had moved to a condo
in nearby Ormond Beach in early twenty nineteen, just a
few miles from her son and Jacy. Over the course
of several months, Nancy repeatedly inserted herself into her son's marriage.
She sent frequent messages and left dozens of voicemails filled

(19:50):
with warnings and emotional stories. She told Tanner that Jace
was being unfaithful, that she was trying to control him,
and that she planned to leave him. Police later found
that Nancy had gone so far as to create fake
screenshots of text messages from Jac to a made up man.
She even changed her phone number to pretend to be
someone else, texting Tanner fake evidence of an affair. Detectives

(20:13):
also uncovered evidence that Nancy had staged a suicide attempt
at her condo just a few weeks before the murder.
She left a note blaming Jacey and called Tanner in tears.
That night, he stayed awake beside her until morning. Friends
and co workers said that during this time, Tanner began
missing work at Guitar Center, losing weight, and acting confused.

(20:33):
His journal, later recovered by police, showed signs of mental
stress and confusion. He wrote about hearing conflicting voices and
feeling like he was being pulled in two directions. On
the night of May eighteen, around eleven thirty p m.
Jac and Tanner had a heated argument inside their apartment
near South Atlantic Avenue. Tanner later told police that he

(20:54):
tied her wrists to their bedfing with old scars, not
to hurt her, but to stop her from leaving while
they talked, then, in a fog of exhaustion and guilt,
he went to the kitchen, picked up a cast iron
skillet from the drying rack, and returned. He'd struck Jace
once in the head, then again. She died within minutes.
Police arrested Tanner without a struggle at his mother's Ormond

(21:14):
Beach condo. He did not attempt to run. When officers
told him he was being charged with murder. He reportedly
looked down and whispered something about doing what he was told.
Jacey's parents, who had driven from Ocala to follow the case,
were heartbroken at the news. The murder was not just
about a fight or jealousy. It was about years of
quiet control, deep manipulation, and emotional abuse. The murder trial

(21:38):
of Tanner Doyle began in October twenty twenty at the
Valuja County court House in Daytona Beach, Florida. It had
been over a year since the tragic killing of twenty
eight year old j c Row, and the courtroom was
filled with reporters, family members, and local residents. The case
had gained attention across Florida and even appeared in regional
news outlets like O E. Yes two News and The

(21:59):
Day Jona Beach News Journal. The lead prosecutor, Dana Morales,
age fifty one, focused her arguments on the idea that
Tanner had been heavily manipulated by his mother, Nancy Doyle.
She described Nancy as someone who had slowly taken control
of Tanner's life through constant lives, guilt trips, and staged
emotional events. Emails, text messages, and even social media posts

(22:22):
from Nancy were shown to the jury to prove how
deeply involved she was in breaking down Tanner's sense of reality.
Her fake suicide attempt, made up texts, and emotional stories
were all used as evidence of her influence. On the
other side, defense attorney Marcus Finley forty six, claimed that
Tanner was not mentally well at the time of the murder.
He argued that Tanner had been suffering from a psychological

(22:44):
break caused by extreme emotional pressure and sleep deprivation. Mental
health experts were called in to explain Tanner's mental state,
and his personal journal was read aloud in court. It
showed confusion, fear, and guilt in the weeks leading up
to Jacy's death. The trial lasted three weeks. The court
room remained tense, especially when Jace's family gave their statements.

(23:06):
Her younger sister wore a necklace Jaycey had given her
the Christmas before she died. Her father held a small
framed photo of Jace taken at Daytona Beach boardwalk. On
the final day, the jury found Tanner Doyle guilty of
second degree murder. He was sentenced to forty years in
state prison. He will be eligible for parole after serving
at least thirty years. Nancy Doyle was charged separately with

(23:29):
conspiracy to commit murder and emotional abuse leading to homicide.
She was sentenced to fifteen years. Many people in the
community thought Nancy's sentence was far too short given the
damage she had caused. Casey's family left the court house quietly.
Though the trial had ended and the people responsible had
been punished. Her family said it didn't feel like justice.

(23:50):
They described it more like a scar, something that would
never fully go away. After the trial ended in October
twenty twenty, life changed for everyone involved in the tragic
story of j C. Rowe. Her mother, Denise Rowe, became
an outspoken advocate against domestic abuse and emotional manipulation. She
began visiting local colleges around Daytona Beach and nearby cities

(24:12):
like Orlando and Jacksonville. Denise spoke about the dangers of
controlling relationships and shared her daughter's story in hopes of
helping young people recognize warning signs. Her talks were often
held in partnership with groups like the Florida Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, and were featured on local news channels, including
w KMG six. Savannah Rowe, Jacey's older sister, returned to

(24:34):
the Groul House, or women only commune near Saint Augustine.
After the trial. Savannah shifted her focus and began teaching
classes about emotional independence and self care. Her lessons included singing, fasting,
and creative expression, aiming to help women find strength without
relying on others. While some in the community still viewed
her as unconventional, many appreciated her efforts to promote healing

(24:57):
after the family tragedy. Detective Alnovos, the lead investigator on
the case, retired in twenty twenty two after more than
twenty years with the Daytona Beach Police Department. Known for
her sharp instincts and dedication, she cited the emotional toll
of the case as one reason for stepping down. Detective
Jeremy Shaw continued working in homicide and has since taken

(25:19):
on other high profile cases in the area. Tanner Doyle
remains incarcerated at Blackwater River Correctional Facility in northern Florida.
Reports from prison officials indicate he is receiving psychiatric care
and participating in mental health programs. His time in prison
is expected to be long, with a minimum sentence of
forty years. He has not spoken publicly about the case

(25:39):
since his sentencing. Nancy Doyle is being held at Lowell
Correctional Institution, one of Florida's largest women's prisons, located near Alcala.
She continues to deny any wrongdoing and has not shown
remorse during prison interviews. The psychological damage she caused through
her manipulation of Tanner and others has made her one
of the most notorious figures linked the case. The secret

(26:01):
online forum known as the Bond Mothers was shut down
shortly after police discovered its role in the case. However,
investigations into similar parenting cults and emotionally abusive groups continue nationwide.
Law enforcement agencies are working with Internet providers and cybercrime
experts to track down members and prevent future harm. Though
the murder of J. C. Row shook Daytona Beach in

(26:23):
the humid days of May twenty nineteen, the case has
since become a powerful example of how emotional control and
obsession can lead to tragedy. The people affected continue to
live with the consequences, working toward healing and awareness in
their own ways. In a city better known for spring
break parties in beachfront sunshine, the murder of J. C.
Rowe revealed a terrifying truth that love, when twisted by obsession,

(26:46):
can destroy everything.
