Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Joshua Hubert Kidnapping & Attempted Murder Case (Worcester, MA)

[01:47 – 06:39]

• Incident Recap:
  In summer 2017, at a family gathering, family-friend Joshua Hubert kidnapped a 7-year-old girl as she slept, assaulted and strangled her, wrapped her in a blanket, and threw her off a bridge, leaving her for dead.

  • The child survived by pretending to be unconscious, escaped the blanket underwater, and swam to shore for help.
  • Forensic evidence complicated the aggravated assault charges, as DNA on the child's underwear didn’t match Hubert.
  • After 8 years, Hubert stood trial; now 15, the resilient victim bravely testified.
  • Hubert was convicted on kidnapping, strangulation, and two counts of attempted murder, but acquitted of the aggravated rape due to lack of direct DNA.

• Memorable Quotes:

  • Cyndi: “That poor child. Strong child, right?” [06:42]
  • Woody: “That’s crazy.” [06:39]
  • Cyndi: “She actually pretended to be dead, hoping that Huber would stop if he believed that she wasn’t breathing.” [05:18]
