This is part 2 of the audio podcast of the case of John and Brianna Nethers. If you haven't listened to part 1, please go ahead and listen to that first. We went through all of the… Well, briefly, we went through the body cam footage that was released on YouTube from this case, as well as the connection to an email that we got of someone who had a lot more information about the real… Basically the charges that Brianna and John Nethers were charged with seemed to be just scratching the surface. The prosecutors are looking for more victims to come forward that may have been victimized by this couple, and we got an email from an individual that we are calling Talia, and she was explaining, it's not something recent, this is not a new development. Yes, he was arrested this year in June, but this has been going on for over a decade. And that is where we start part 2
It is always tricky when a step-parent joins a family with children. I'm sure everyone has their own ways of handling it, but I would imagine most parents want their child to decide what they want to call their step-parent, which is exactly the case for Talia. She never feels pressured by her mom to call her mom's boyfriend John Nethers' dad or step-dad. She never did. She never felt the need to. Until one day, Talia says that John had taken her out to run errands. They end up at like a hobby lobby, and the cashier just trying to make small talk and be nice, asks her, do you like shopping with your dad?
Talia didn't really respond because she's so young, and she's not gonna say, well, actually, he's not my dad. He's maybe at most my stepdad, but I don't even really think like that. So she just didn't respond. She didn't have anything to say to this adult who's asking her, do you like shopping with your dad? When they get back into the car at a hobby lobby, she says he locked her in there with him until she called him dad and told him she loved him.
She said she was forced to call him dad. She says, I did not like calling him dad. I didn't like it. It just didn't feel right to me. Even before the abuse started, I was never comfortable with calling him dad. It just didn't feel right. But now he's locking her in the car, forcing her to call him dad. And this becomes part of the abuse that she endures. For years, she's living with John Nethers. Her mom has three children with him, so three half siblings. Her mom has no idea about the abuse. The abuse would occur two to three times a week. At this point, John is a photographer, and Talia says, a lot of the pictures, not all of them, but a lot of the pictures, I was there to take, you know, I was there to help make props or whatever. So he would take her to take pictures.
And for Talia's pictures, that was also part of the abuse. Talia says, there was one night he had dragged talking hills, but kind of smaller. It's kind of like an outdoor landmark, trails, that kind of stuff, like a public park, but almost like a forest, very secluded. There was one day that he had taken me there. It was nighttime to take these lake moon pictures. And I still can't go back there because I remember him basically laying me down on a rock. And I don't know if he took pictures of me, but I do remember being abused at the park. There were even times where he would take pictures of me and the kids, he'd pull us into the room and take little portraits of us. It's like very family-friendly portraits. But there was one time where one of the pictures only had me in a leather jacket, not zipped up, just naked underneath. And I was taken in the same hour of taking the other family photos.
Out of all the years that this is going on, Talia says there wasn't really a moment where he stopped to reflect. Not that that would absolve him of literally anything. He should still rot in prison for the rest of his life for what he did, preferably until the day he dies. That's my opinion based on what Talia told us. But she says that there was only one time that she could get him to stop the abuse.
He had took me into our bathroom and had me strip naked and stand on the step ladder and told me to bend over it. I was crying, sobbing, and I kept asking him why he was doing this. And he kind of stopped and said, it happened to him as a kid, and there was some kind of mental illness that causes it. He said that if it happens to you, you basically have to do it too. Your brain forces you to do it to other people. And then he said it would become stronger. And then he just walked out of the bathroom and I put my clothes back on and left. That was the only time I could get him to stop.
