absolutely wrong from the beginning.

it was an experiment for him,

some sick game.

10
00:01:44,187 --> 00:01:46,731

about the "why" every single day.

Hi, Jacoba, this is Dr. Webber calling.

I have your lab results in.

18
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:29,816
So give me a call when you have a chance,
and we can go over those.

Hi, this message is for Jacoba Ballard.
This is Jane over at Dr. Chan's office.

23
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,328
Give us a callback. We want
to reschedule you for an appointment.

24
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:43,288
Thanks so much.

[melancholy music playing]

29
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:08,229
[Jacoba] Growing up, I felt different.

30
00:03:10,273 --> 00:03:12,275
{\an8}I'm this blonde-haired, blue-eyed person

31
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:14,444
{\an8}in a family with dark hair

32
00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:16,738
{\an8}and, like, olive skin and dark eyes.

33
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,408
So, I kept asking my mom

34
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:23,286
if I was adopted.

35
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,125
I kept, like, reassuring my parents,

36
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:33,046
and I'm like, "It's fine if I am,
you can tell me. It'll be okay."

37
00:03:36,299 --> 00:03:39,677
Finally, my mom told me the truth.

38
00:03:42,096 --> 00:03:45,850
So, I've known since the age of ten

39
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:49,395
that I was from donor sperm.

40
00:03:54,525 --> 00:03:57,695
[woman sighing] I believe it was 1979,

41
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:02,492
and… I wanted a child so bad,

42
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:07,080
{\an8}but my husband could not have children.

43
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:09,540
{\an8}So I went to see Dr. Cline

44
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:12,335
for artificial insemination.

45
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:17,590
I was young.

46
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,593
I think, like, 20, 21.

47
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:23,721
He was professional.

48
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:24,639
[inaudible]

49
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:26,724
[Debbie] Uh, we didn't really say a lot.

50
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:30,270
I mean, he just told us
that he would match us with a donor

51
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:32,230
that looked like my husband.

52
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:35,566
He was gonna use medical students,

53
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:36,776
their sperm.

54
00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:39,612
And so, when I start ovulating,

55
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:42,573
I went in, they did the procedure…

56
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,288
and, um, I went home, and I was pregnant.

57
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:50,164
[chuckling]

58
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:56,087
[Debbie] She's my everything.

59
00:05:00,591 --> 00:05:03,845

I love that child more than life itself.

00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:18,860
[melancholy music playing]

64
00:05:20,862 --> 00:05:24,282
[Jacoba] I always had
this longing for siblings.

65
00:05:25,908 --> 00:05:28,286
I just wanted somebody that related to me,

66
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:31,205
that's, you know, my brother or sister,

67
00:05:31,289 --> 00:05:33,124
and I just wanted to have that bond.

68
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:38,629
When I was around the age of 18,

69
00:05:38,713 --> 00:05:40,798
you know, around, like, 1999,

70
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:44,135
there wasn't commercial DNA testing.

71
00:05:44,969 --> 00:05:49,640
All I knew
was my mom went to Dr. Donald Cline,

72
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:53,644
and he was the go-to doctor.

73
00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:57,440
My mom was told that

74
00:05:57,523 --> 00:06:00,735
they used a medical resident
for donor sperm,

75
00:06:00,818 --> 00:06:04,739
and they never used
the medical resident or the donor,

76
00:06:04,822 --> 00:06:06,449
say, more than three times.

77
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:08,201
So, since there was me,

78
00:06:08,284 --> 00:06:11,496
I figured that I might have
one or two half-siblings.

79
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:16,334
So, I looked him up,
and I called him at his office.

80
00:06:16,417 --> 00:06:18,628
He actually answered the phone.

81
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:22,924
I wanted to know if he had a donor number

82
00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:25,218
or my mom's medical records

83
00:06:25,301 --> 00:06:28,805
to where I could have
some kind of identifying information.

84
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:31,307
He was very

85
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:34,018
straightforward, matter-of-fact,

86
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:36,479
um, no empathy.

87
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:38,815
But I remember asking him,

88
00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:41,317
like, telling him
I wanted to find half-siblings,

89
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:44,153
and he said that
I can't ever know that information.

90
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:46,280
My mother's records have been destroyed.

91
00:06:46,364 --> 00:06:47,907
[suspenseful music playing]

92
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:51,411
[Jacoba] He wished me good luck,
and that was it.

93
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:55,748
I just went on with life and, you know,

94
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:59,961
married, raised my children,
and hoped that someday maybe

95
00:07:00,044 --> 00:07:02,171
I would find a sibling or two.

96
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:03,881

108
00:07:48,384 --> 00:07:53,681
{\an8}[woman] Dr. Cline was the best-known
infertility doctor in Indianapolis.

109
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,642
{\an8}And I started working for him

110
00:07:56,726 --> 00:08:00,980
{\an8}in '81 to '94.

111
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:02,899
I worked 13 years.

112
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:08,154
[man] I was partnered with Dr. Cline
from 1987 to 1991, and I have to say,

113
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:11,866
{\an8}my career wouldn't be
what it has been over the last 35 years

114
00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:14,035
{\an8}if it hadn't been for Don Cline. So…

115
00:08:14,118 --> 00:08:18,581
You know, I have a very special place
in my heart for that man.

116
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:23,002
Before '85, for an insemination

117
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:24,795
or for a donor insemination,

118
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,464
fresh sperm was used.

119
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:30,593
And back then,
you didn't have, like today,

120
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:33,888
you go on a website, 300 guys show up.

121
00:08:33,971 --> 00:08:36,057
[Jan] We had a notebook

122
00:08:36,807 --> 00:08:39,852
so they could pick
from what donor criteria they wanted.

123
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:44,690
The hospital was--
It's just right across the street.

124
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:49,779
And I actually went to the hospital
and met some of the donors

125
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,073
because they were residents,
and I knew 'em.

126
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:54,492
And they would pass me the specimen,

127
00:08:55,117 --> 00:08:56,619
and I would take it back to the office.

128
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,331
It has to be kept warm, body temperature.

129
00:09:01,332 --> 00:09:04,043
And so I transported the sample in my bra,

130
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:08,214
so the sperm was still viable
by the time I got it over at the office.

131
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,469
It was a great field.
It was really interesting.

132
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:17,932
We were putting tubes back together
so people… women could get pregnant.

133
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:21,310
And he had
a terrific success rate at that.

134
00:09:22,311 --> 00:09:24,063
[Robert] We'd do laser surgery on tubes,

135
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:27,525
and that was a new thing
that Don did that other doctors didn't do.

136
00:09:28,776 --> 00:09:31,862
For these couples, you have to have them

137
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,907
really think through this,
talk through this, pray about it.

138
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:38,411
Really feel like you thought through
this whole thing, because

139
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,413
once you do that donor insemination

140
00:09:40,496 --> 00:09:43,416

that's their baby. Forever.

{\an8}when one of your girlfriends
would call you and say she was pregnant

145
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:57,972
{\an8}because there were several times
that I'd get off the phone,

146
00:09:58,055 --> 00:10:01,475
{\an8}and I'd just cry
because I wanted a child so bad.

147
00:10:04,812 --> 00:10:07,481
My husband and I had gone
to various fertility doctors

148
00:10:07,565 --> 00:10:10,818
trying to find… my issue.

149
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:15,364
It was hard on me and my husband.

150
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:21,287
But I thought, "Okay. I've finally found
a doctor that might be able to help us

151
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:24,123
because he was so well-known."

talked about having our own children.

00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:37,678
My husband got tested,
and he was infertile.

156
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:44,185
I was told, "The only person
who's doing live sperm donor insemination

157
00:10:44,268 --> 00:10:45,978
is Dr. Don Cline."

158
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:48,773
"He's the best of the best, so go to him."

[ominous music playing]

160
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,987
[Liz] By that point,
it'd been two and a half years

161
00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:58,991
of having my period
when I wanted to really conceive,

162
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:03,829
taking my temperature, and…
for every month and every day.

163
00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:09,335
So it was the first time I felt--
It was hopeful.

164
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:12,004
[light music playing]

165
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:17,093
[Dianna] I carried my husband's sperm
in a little container.

166
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,638
Well, we didn't have much time
because you had to have it there,

167
00:11:20,721 --> 00:11:21,847
I think, within an hour.

168
00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:26,102
And then there was this room

169
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:29,689
that I would go into
for the artificial insemination,

170
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:31,732
right then with the sperm,

171
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:35,152
with some kind of long, like, um…

172
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:40,491
Well, it looked like a needle-type thing,
but that was all I remember.

00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:42,952
[dramatic music playing]

174
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:45,121
[Liz] He'd walk me back to the exam room,

175
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:48,916
I'm lying down,
and my knees are up in the air.

176
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:54,797
He said, "Okay. I'm gonna, uh,
put this… this specimen in you."

177
00:11:57,842 --> 00:12:00,678
So I wait on the table
for about 20 minutes.

178
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,473
I was thinking actually positive thoughts.

179
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:05,599
I was thinking,

180
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:09,603
"Wow. I might be able to have a child."

181
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:19,113
When the doctor's office called me

182
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:22,116
and told me I was pregnant,

183
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:23,951
I… I couldn't believe it.

184
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:26,454
[ominous music playing]

185
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:29,457
[Dianna] We were just so happy
when I had her.

186
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:36,005
I even took Julie back into the office
and then showed her off to Dr. Cline.

187
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:38,090
[melancholy music playing]

188
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:42,052
I thought I had altitude sickness.

189
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:43,387
[laughing]

190
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:46,098
So I laid off a little bit of skiing,

191
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,684
and ate more crackers, and drank some tea,

192
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:51,937
and, um, never thinking I was pregnant.

193
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:55,775
I thought I was just late.

194
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:01,655
I was ecstatic.

195
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:07,119
I thought it was a gift at the time.

196
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:10,956
[suspenseful music playing]

197
00:13:15,169 --> 00:13:19,548
[Jacoba] In 2014, you see 23andMe

198
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,551
on, like, every other commercial on TV.

199
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,055
I was 35,

200
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:29,600
and I told my husband
I was gonna take a DNA test

201
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:33,229
because I figured,
at least, I had one or two siblings.

202
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:38,818
I felt like it was kind of a bonus
if I did find the donor,

203
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:41,362
but that wasn't, like, my goal.

204
00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:43,280
My goal was to find a sibling.

205
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:45,699
-[keyboard clacking]
-[unnerving music playing]

206
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:49,328
[Jacoba] The fall of 2014,

207
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,540
I received my results.

208
00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:59,505
I remember that day vividly.

209
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:05,803
It came back that I was related to

210
00:14:06,637 --> 00:14:07,847
seven siblings.

211
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:13,435
It was actually immediate excitement, um,

212
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,646
with concern.

213
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:19,942
Finding out
that I had siblings was amazing,

214
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:22,611
but there's, you know, eight of us.

215
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,488
What… what's going on here?

216
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,574
Because my mom was told

217
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:30,119
that they never used a donor
more than three times.

218
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:34,999
{\an8}Three times was the ideal.

219
00:14:35,791 --> 00:14:39,003
{\an8}We didn't want a large population

220
00:14:39,086 --> 00:14:41,005
{\an8}with all the same father.

221
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,008
{\an8}There's the concern for consanguinity,

222
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:49,471
{\an8}uh, having too many people
in a certain geographic area

223
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:53,058
that could potentially be your brother
or your sister, and you didn't know it.

224
00:14:53,642 --> 00:14:58,939
Because you could potentially
have a brother and sister marrying.

225
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:01,483
[ominous music playing]

226
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:03,652
[Jacoba] Hold up. [chuckling]

227
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:05,279
This doesn't make sense.

228
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:09,867
Obviously, you used someone's sperm
more than three times.

229
00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:11,952
[dramatic music playing]

230
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:17,541
[Jacoba] And that's when we started
to do our own investigating.

231
00:15:19,543 --> 00:15:22,129
Every weekend, we would call each other,

232
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:27,051
or we would plug names into Ancestry
and work on a family tree.

233
00:15:27,968 --> 00:15:31,180
We joked one day, trying to figure it out,

234
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:34,558
and we're like, "Wouldn't it be crazy
if it was the doctor?"

235
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:37,436
But we disregarded it, and we're like,

236
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,481
"Probably not, but we'll go through
this journey together."

237
00:15:40,564 --> 00:15:43,734
"We'll help each other find
who our biological father is."

238
00:15:46,987 --> 00:15:50,908
We were able to just focus
on our paternal matches,

239
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:54,578
and we all matched a lady named Sylvia,

240
00:15:55,412 --> 00:15:57,414
who was our second cousin,

241
00:15:58,082 --> 00:16:00,918
and she was on 23andMe.

242
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,921
So, we had messaged her.

243
00:16:05,255 --> 00:16:09,677
I asked her what surnames
was in her family tree,

244
00:16:10,302 --> 00:16:13,430
and she gave us a whole list of names.

245
00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:16,475
One of the names
that popped up was Swinford.

246
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:22,606
Swinford is
Donald Cline's mother's maiden name.

247
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:25,442
I said, "By any chance,

248
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:29,071
do you have
the name Cline in your family?"

249
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:34,368
She said, "Oh yes,
I completely forgot. My cousin Don."

250
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:36,370
"He's a doctor."

251
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:38,288
[dramatic music playing]

252
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:41,041
[Jacoba] Right then, my stomach dropped,

253
00:16:41,125 --> 00:16:45,587
and I felt sick because she just confirmed

254
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:50,467
what I think we probably already knew,
but we were hoping wasn't true.

255
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,387
Dr. Donald Cline

256
00:16:54,304 --> 00:16:56,390
could be our biological father.

257
00:17:01,228 --> 00:17:02,354
I was in shock.

258
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:05,899
[sighing heavily]

259
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:07,568
There were so many emotions.

260
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:09,820
So many questions.

261
00:17:10,946 --> 00:17:14,283
He lied about a donor being used.

262
00:17:15,951 --> 00:17:17,244
Why did he do it?

263
00:17:18,245 --> 00:17:20,164
And how long did he do it?

264
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:24,293
And how many siblings do we have?

265
00:17:25,586 --> 00:17:27,713
I honestly didn't know who to go to.

266
00:17:27,796 --> 00:17:32,176
I googled, like, "Where do you make
a complaint against a doctor?"

267
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:37,264
That, in turn,
led to me filing a complaint

268
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:40,559
with the Attorney General's office
for Indiana.

269
00:17:42,978 --> 00:17:46,190
So, then I received a form back
from the Attorney General's office

270
00:17:46,273 --> 00:17:49,276
that was like,
their generic messaging like,

271
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,822
"Hi. We've received your complaint,
and it's gonna be investigated further,

272
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,783
and someone will be in touch."

273
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:01,872
We waited and waited.
Nobody was returning my calls.

274
00:18:01,955 --> 00:18:04,917
No questioning, nothing
from the Attorney General's office.

275
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,002
[papers rustling]

276
00:18:08,045 --> 00:18:09,213
[Jacoba] I wanted answers.

277
00:18:09,296 --> 00:18:12,716
So I reached out
to every news outlet, big and small,

278
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,803
and nobody would pick up the story.

279
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:17,262
{\an8}…and I'm Angela Ganote.

280
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:19,556
{\an8}Yeah. We're starting off
on a chilly start today,

281
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,725
{\an8}but it's gonna warm up and warm up fast.

282
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:23,602
{\an8}[Jacoba] I was watching TV one day,

283
00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:26,021
and I was like… [exhaling sharply] …"Her!"

284
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:28,482
-[phones ringing]
-[Jacoba] "I forgot to send it to her."

285
00:18:29,316 --> 00:18:32,319
[Angela] In February of 2015,
I logged onto Facebook,

286
00:18:32,402 --> 00:18:34,613
and I had a message from Jacoba.

287
00:18:35,739 --> 00:18:37,616
The message was in-depth,

288
00:18:37,699 --> 00:18:40,160
saying that she believed
a doctor in Indianapolis

289
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:43,956
had inseminated multiple women
with his own sperm.

290
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:48,794
{\an8}It was shocking,
but it was also backed by proof.

291
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,588
Before Jacoba came to me,

292
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:54,591
she had reached out
to Attorney General of our state,

293
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:57,136
the Attorney General of the United States.

294
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:59,972
She had reached out
to national news organizations,

295
00:19:00,055 --> 00:19:01,890
and she had gotten no response.

296
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:05,269
And I thought,
"Why is no one listening, or at least

297
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:07,229
finding the truth?"

298
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:09,523
I walked into our news director's office,

299
00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:11,900
and I said,
"You guys are not gonna believe this."

300
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:13,861
[dramatic music playing]

301
00:19:15,612 --> 00:19:18,532
[Angela] I reached out to Dr. Cline
in the very beginning.

302
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:21,118
He told me that he was not the father.

303
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:25,873
He told me that he only used sperm
from a doctor in training,

304
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:27,791
that there is no way possible

305
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:30,878
that the siblings had more
than three brothers or sisters.

306
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:33,922
I asked if he would like
to see the DNA evidence.

307
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,009
I asked him if he would like
to provide his own DNA

308
00:19:37,092 --> 00:19:39,636
so that he could help them.

309
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:43,682
"If you're not the father,
have a DNA test and prove to them."

310
00:19:43,765 --> 00:19:45,142
And he wouldn't.

311
00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:47,394
[phone slamming]

312
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:50,439
[Angela] So when we
first aired the first story,

313
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:54,651
I couldn't use his name,
and that was, um, hard for me.

314
00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:59,448
Sisters, born here in Indiana,
uncover a family secret.

315
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,075
Their dad is not their biological father.

316
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:03,577
They are donor children,

317
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:07,164
the product of an anonymous man
who donated his sperm.

318
00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:11,835
[Jacoba] Since we didn't have
Donald Cline's DNA,

319
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:13,921
we couldn't really move forward

320
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:17,758
until we had him take a DNA test

321
00:20:17,841 --> 00:20:21,845
to prove that
he was our biological father.

322
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:26,892
Like, we knew it in our gut,
but we didn't have anybody at the state

323
00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:28,685
that would get back with us, and

324
00:20:29,686 --> 00:20:33,232
{\an8}they weren't in any hurry
to get a DNA sample from him.

325
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,775
[suspenseful music playing]

326
00:20:35,943 --> 00:20:40,197
[Jacoba] So, one of my half-siblings

327
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,116
messaged all
of Cline's children and grandchildren

328
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,369
that were over the age of 18.

329
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:46,745
Basically said,

330
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:50,374
"Our mothers went through
infertility treatment."

331
00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:55,671
"Did somebody
in your family donate sperm?"

332
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:59,925
[birds screeching]

333
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:05,472
[Jacoba] It was probably
a week or two later,

334
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,559
Cline's son messaged me.

335
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,022
So, I met with Doug and Donna,

336
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:17,776
which are two of Cline's children,
with his wife, Audrey.

337
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:22,864
I chose to do it at my church

338
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,200
because I felt more comfortable.

339
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:28,245
I don't know these people,

340
00:21:28,328 --> 00:21:31,915
and these are some big accusations.

341
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:35,252
They said they had talked to their dad,

342
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:41,842
and he did admit
that he was our biological father.

343
00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:49,057
But Doug said that the only time
that Cline used his sperm

344
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:51,435
was when he didn't have access to a donor,

345
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,022
and as far as siblings go,

346
00:21:55,897 --> 00:21:58,358
there was absolutely no more than ten.

347
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:01,320
[suspenseful music playing]

348
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:02,738
[man moaning]

349
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:06,575
[dramatic music playing]

350
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:17,252
[woman] I had seen
the news pop on one night…

351
00:22:18,545 --> 00:22:21,298
[Angela] …they are donor children
searching for answers…

352
00:22:21,381 --> 00:22:24,634
[woman] …and I saw Jacoba on TV,

353
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:29,389
and my husband thought
that we looked a lot alike.

354
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:32,059
{\an8}My husband's exact words were,

355
00:22:32,142 --> 00:22:34,269
{\an8}"I don't feel like
this is going to end well,

356
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,188
{\an8}and I want you to be aware of that."

357
00:22:38,315 --> 00:22:40,484
So I talked to my mom.

358
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:43,862
[Dianna] My daughter called me and said,

359
00:22:43,945 --> 00:22:47,282
{\an8}"Should I get tested?" And I said, "No."

360
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,284
{\an8}'Cause I, at that point in time,

361
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,870
{\an8}I thought it was
my husband's sperm that he had used.

362
00:22:51,953 --> 00:22:53,997
She said,

363
00:22:54,081 --> 00:22:56,416
"You know, honey.
This doesn't apply to you."

364
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:59,961
"This doesn't pertain to you at all.
I know you're your dad and I's."

365
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:03,507
Um, but something in my gut,
I just couldn't let it go.

366
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:08,637
So I notified Jacoba via Facebook.

367
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,599
She wasn't really sure
if this would pertain to me at all,

368
00:23:12,682 --> 00:23:16,728
'cause I was supposed to have been
from my father and not a donor.

369
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:19,523
So she said the best way
to do it is just take a test.

370
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:20,649
And once I took that test,

371
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:23,110
if we were related,
her name would show up.

372
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:24,986
[sniffling]

373
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:30,951
[breath shuddering]

374
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:35,956
Hardest thing I've ever had to go through.

375
00:23:41,336 --> 00:23:44,172
Go back to everything
that you've known about yourself.

376
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:45,132
[sniffling]

377
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:50,095
[Julie] It just completely
washes away your identity.

378
00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:55,350
And you really have no idea
who you are anymore.

379
00:23:58,311 --> 00:23:59,855
We both cried on the phone,

380
00:24:01,022 --> 00:24:03,817
and then I had to…

381
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:05,902
[breathing deeply]

382
00:24:05,986 --> 00:24:08,071
…figure out a way
I was gonna tell my husband

383
00:24:08,155 --> 00:24:11,783
'cause I knew
that it was gonna devastate him.

384
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:15,412
I said, "Remember
when we went to Dr. Cline?"

385
00:24:15,912 --> 00:24:19,583
And I said, "Unfortunately, um,

386
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:23,503
Dr. Cline didn't use your sperm.
He used his own."

387
00:24:24,212 --> 00:24:25,046
"So…

388
00:24:27,007 --> 00:24:30,135
we're just now finding out
that Julie is not yours."

389
00:24:31,261 --> 00:24:32,929
My husband started crying.

390
00:24:33,763 --> 00:24:38,310
And he said that,
and I'll never forget these words.

391
00:24:38,393 --> 00:24:41,855
He says,
"He's taken everything away from me."

392
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:43,523
[melancholy music playing]

393
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:44,608
And he did.

394
00:24:45,942 --> 00:24:46,943
It's hard.

395
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:49,905
I mean, what did he do
with my dad's sperm?

396
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,115
He just threw it away like it was nothing?

397
00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:56,328
I mean, it's just-- It's wrong.

398
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:09,049
[Jacoba] After I met with Doug,

399
00:25:09,549 --> 00:25:12,844
he had called me and said,

400
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:16,306
"I will do whatever it takes
to get you the answers."

401
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,476
And I said, "We want to meet him."

402
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,520
"We have questions for him."

403
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:25,357
"I want him to look us in the eye."

404
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,026
"You at least owe us that much."

405
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:30,111
[suspenseful music playing]

406
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:35,534
[Jacoba] And so he set up a time
for myself and five other siblings

407
00:25:35,617 --> 00:25:37,118
to be able to meet Cline.

408
00:25:41,498 --> 00:25:43,333
[clattering]

409
00:25:45,168 --> 00:25:48,046
[Jacoba] It was almost like
the moment that his feet hit the floor,

410
00:25:48,129 --> 00:25:50,924
you could hear his footsteps,

411
00:25:51,007 --> 00:25:52,717
and you could hear his cane.

412
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:57,514
He was not showing emotion.

413
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:02,644
And on his hip,
I could see the outline of a gun.

414
00:26:04,646 --> 00:26:08,525
I think that it was
partially to intimidate us.

415
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:13,488
So he introduced himself,

416
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:18,493
and he went around the table,
asking each one's name, age,

417
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,204
and what they did for a profession.

418
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:28,837
It was almost like he was ranking us.

419
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,505
Like, "Let me see

420
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:34,634
which one of my offspring
made it to the top."

421
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:35,552
[inaudible]

422
00:26:35,635 --> 00:26:37,470
I felt like we were being judged.

423
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:42,684
Then we asked about medical history

424
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:47,022
because some of us,
we have autoimmune disorders and stuff.

425
00:26:48,231 --> 00:26:51,568
He said that there was nothing
that we needed to worry about.

426
00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:56,031
He had a piece of paper with him

427
00:26:56,114 --> 00:26:58,783
that he brought scripture on.

428
00:26:58,867 --> 00:27:00,535
Jeremiah 1:5.

429
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:01,578
[Jacoba inhaling deeply]

430
00:27:01,661 --> 00:27:05,123
[Jacoba] I remember him looking at me
and going, "Jacoba, this is for you."

431
00:27:05,206 --> 00:27:07,667
Because he knew
I was having a hard time with this,

432
00:27:07,751 --> 00:27:10,086
and I'm like, "Put that shit away."

433
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:14,591
I said-- I did, I said,
"Just put that shit away."

434
00:27:14,674 --> 00:27:18,136
"You're not gonna use my God
to justify your actions."

435
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:23,975
One of my siblings did ask him
why he used his own sperm.

436
00:27:24,059 --> 00:27:27,479
And he said that he only did it

437
00:27:27,562 --> 00:27:29,481
because he felt like the mothers

438
00:27:29,564 --> 00:27:33,068
were just basically desperate for a child,

439
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:35,320
and he was doing it to help them.

440
00:27:37,656 --> 00:27:40,784
Finally, he said that the absolute number,

441
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:43,578
there would not be more than 15 siblings.

442
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,331

{\an8}[sighing heavily]

447
00:28:00,095 --> 00:28:02,263
{\an8}I… I just felt bad for my mother.

448
00:28:04,307 --> 00:28:05,225
I mean…

449
00:28:07,268 --> 00:28:08,520
here she was, you know,

450
00:28:08,603 --> 00:28:11,648
a young woman
just wanting to have a family

451
00:28:11,731 --> 00:28:13,024
like anyone else.

452
00:28:19,572 --> 00:28:22,909
It's a sick individual
that puts themselves in that position

453
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:24,202
to be able to do that.

454
00:28:28,331 --> 00:28:32,001
{\an8}There are parts of me that wish
that I never had to deal with infertility.

455
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:41,094
I wish that walk on no one.

456
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:48,643
The way it worked
for me with Cline is, uh,

457
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,895
I would go to his office.

458
00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:52,897
[keys jangling]

459
00:28:52,981 --> 00:28:55,859
[Liz] He was always
the only one in the office,

460
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:58,445
whether I was coming in
on a weekend or during the week,

461
00:28:58,528 --> 00:29:01,072
during the midday, or late evening.

462
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:04,951
He was the only one that greeted me
in his office, which was strange.

463

[door closing]

464
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,458
[Liz] And now the truth is that,

465
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:13,460
as Cline was closing the door

466
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:16,004
and I'm undressing
and putting my feet in the stirrups

467
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:19,466
getting ready for him
to bring in the donor's sperm,

468
00:29:19,966 --> 00:29:24,804
he was in the-- some other place
in the office ejaculating,

469
00:29:24,888 --> 00:29:28,558
and not only creating the erection,
but he has to go in full force

470
00:29:28,641 --> 00:29:31,394
in a sexual manner
to create that ejaculation.

471
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:36,691
To me, that has always remained
a very sad part to me,

472
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,193
and disgusting.

473
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:42,530
That he was placing then his semen

474
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:45,241
into some kind of syringe,

475
00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:50,997
and then he's got to place that syringe
at the base of my cervix.

476
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,665
[unnerving music playing]

477
00:29:53,249 --> 00:29:54,793
[Liz] The fact that he

478
00:29:55,877 --> 00:29:58,463
was still in an endocrine high

479
00:29:58,546 --> 00:30:00,548
from having the ejaculation

480
00:30:01,716 --> 00:30:04,803
has no place in a medical setting.

481
00:30:04,886 --> 00:30:06,888
[breath shuddering]

482
00:30:08,264 --> 00:30:11,684
[Liz] When Matt's DNA test came back…

483
00:30:17,023 --> 00:30:18,817
my first words were,

484
00:30:19,609 --> 00:30:22,278
"I was raped 15 times
and didn't even know it."

485
00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:29,661
[Matt] This is unbelievable.

486
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:31,996
How the fuck did no one know?

487
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:35,959
I mean, just even the act of what he did

488
00:30:36,042 --> 00:30:38,545
for so many years,

489
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:41,339
and to just get away with it

490
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,844
for decades, and no one knew anything.

491
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:48,137
No one in the office?

492
00:30:48,763 --> 00:30:49,639
Come on.

493
00:30:50,723 --> 00:30:52,267
Well, here's the thing.

494
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:55,103
There wasn't much traffic
on that first floor

495
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:57,438
other than
we'd come directly into our office.

496
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,942
Don could have
clearly collected a specimen,

497
00:31:01,442 --> 00:31:04,028
{\an8}and then he got it back,
and no one would know.

498
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:06,823
{\an8}They could-- The nurse
could be in there for the insemination.

499
00:31:06,906 --> 00:31:10,201
They wouldn't know if it was
a donor from the hospital or not.

500
00:31:12,245 --> 00:31:15,790
{\an8}Dr. Colver and I have discussed it,
and we had no idea.

501
00:31:16,374 --> 00:31:19,419
{\an8}It just was never a thought,

502
00:31:19,502 --> 00:31:22,005
because it was so totally opposite

503
00:31:23,131 --> 00:31:25,300
from his normal behavior.

504
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:28,511
[dramatic music playing]

505
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:35,018
[Angela] This was a person
of a position of power.

{\an8}He's known in our community
as a philanthropist.

507
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:40,398
{\an8}He's known in our community
as an elder of the church.

508
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:43,902
[Jan] He was always a doctor.

509
00:31:44,652 --> 00:31:47,363
He was not gonna sit there
and chat with you.

510
00:31:47,947 --> 00:31:49,991
It was all pretty much

511
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:53,786
doctor-person relationship.

512
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:57,749
Or a stern father figure,

513
00:31:57,832 --> 00:32:00,960
if, you know,
if you can relate better to that.

"He actually had a low sperm count,

681
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,636
and his doctor recommended us
to a specialist."

682
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:15,931
I said, "Mom,
was this specialist in Indianapolis?"

683
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:17,600
And she said, "Yeah, why?"

684
00:41:17,683 --> 00:41:19,977
And I said, "Was it Dr. Donald Cline?"

685
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:21,520
And she said, "Yes."

686
00:41:21,604 --> 00:41:23,481
[dramatic music playing]

687
00:41:24,231 --> 00:41:25,316
[Lisa] She said,

688
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:27,985
"I went and had the procedure done twice,

689
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:32,490
but both times your father
was there with me and provided a sample."

690
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:39,538
And so, at that point,
I realized my mom and dad had no idea.

691
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:43,876
They thought all along
that I was my dad's.

692
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:47,338
[unnerving music playing]

693
00:41:49,798 --> 00:41:51,091
[Lisa] I worry for my kids,

694
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:55,387
especially I have siblings
that live in the same town as me,

695
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:56,847
and our kids go to school together.

696
00:41:56,931 --> 00:42:00,518
And so, I've had to have the talk
with my daughter about,

697
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:04,271
"You've got to be careful
when you start dating."

698
00:42:04,772 --> 00:42:08,651
"We got to be aware
of who this person is,"

699
00:42:08,734 --> 00:42:11,153
but it's definitely a huge concern.

700
00:42:13,531 --> 00:42:15,950
When we get a new sibling alert,

701
00:42:16,742 --> 00:42:20,204
you're praying,
"Please don't let it be somebody I know."

702
00:42:20,287 --> 00:42:22,581
Or "Please don't let it be
somebody I dated."

703
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:25,584
And I'm sure it's bound to happen.

704
00:42:26,752 --> 00:42:28,754
[train horn blaring]

705
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:36,303
[Jacoba] The majority of us live in,
like, a 25-mile radius of each other.

706
00:42:36,929 --> 00:42:40,349
There's also quite a few
that live within minutes of Cline.

707
00:42:43,435 --> 00:42:45,437
[suspenseful music playing]

708
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,152
[Jacoba sighing] I walk around,

709
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:55,447
and I could be related to anyone.

710
00:42:57,533 --> 00:43:02,037
I mean, it's just common for me
to pass people on the street,

711
00:43:02,121 --> 00:43:04,665
um, at work, wherever I may be,

712
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:07,376
and, I mean, I'll look at them and think,

713
00:43:07,459 --> 00:43:10,421
"Oh, the way you stand, the way you look."

714
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:12,965
"You could be related to me."

715
00:43:18,304 --> 00:43:21,223
[Matt] We live in this small community.

716
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:23,434
[crows cawing]

717
00:43:23,517 --> 00:43:25,436
[Matt] Everyone that you interact with

718
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:27,980
appears to have
some sort of connection to Cline.

719
00:43:29,189 --> 00:43:31,984
My dentist across the street
was a patient of his.

720
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:37,823
My next-door neighbor
was the nurse to one of my half-siblings,

721
00:43:37,906 --> 00:43:40,159
and then there's this connection,

722
00:43:40,242 --> 00:43:41,702
or there's that connection.

723
00:43:41,785 --> 00:43:44,580
"Oh, my mom saw them at the nail salon."

724
00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:59,637
I think without a doubt,
there are probably people that I've met

725
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:03,265
that are my half-sibling,
and I just don't even know it.

726
00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:04,767
They don't even know it.

727
00:44:04,850 --> 00:44:06,852
[high-pitched whirring]

728
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:14,610
[kids clamoring indistinctly]

729
00:44:17,404 --> 00:44:19,406
[suspenseful music playing]

730
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:30,959
[Jacoba] Who knows
how many siblings we have?

731
00:44:31,043 --> 00:44:32,795
[birds chirping]

732
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:35,798
[phone ringing]

733
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:40,177
[Angela] I had emailed Dr. Cline
and told him,

734
00:44:40,260 --> 00:44:42,888
"We're moving forward with the story.
We would be using his name."

735
00:44:42,971 --> 00:44:47,935
You know, "This is the time
for you to come clean to the public."

736
00:44:48,936 --> 00:44:52,106
So, finally, he said, "If there's no audio
and no video, I will meet with you."

737
00:44:53,107 --> 00:44:55,317
I asked him if he wanted
to come to FOX 59.

738
00:44:55,401 --> 00:44:56,819
He said no. I said,

739
00:44:56,902 --> 00:44:59,488
"There's a restaurant
close to the TV station."

740
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:01,240
And I wanted to be close to the TV station

741
00:45:01,323 --> 00:45:03,117
because I wanted
to make sure for my safety.

742
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,786
I wanted it to be someplace
that I felt safe.

743
00:45:06,704 --> 00:45:10,708
My boss at that time wanted me
to take our security guard with us

744
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:13,210
because she feared for my safety.

745
00:45:13,293 --> 00:45:16,213
We knew that Dr. Cline
did not want to, quote, "be outed,"

746
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:20,092
and Jacoba told me that he carried a gun.

747
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:22,261
We thought that he was desperate.

748
00:45:22,845 --> 00:45:24,847
-[car horn honking]
-[dog barking]

749
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:29,226
[Don] She is, um, uh,
demanding I meet with… with them.

750
00:45:31,478 --> 00:45:33,981
They're going to force me to do this.

751
00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:36,316
-[Jacoba] Mm-hmm.
-[Don] I've gotta tell the truth.

752
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,194
-[Jacoba] Mm-hmm. Well--
-[Don] And I don't want to do that.

753
00:45:40,028 --> 00:45:41,697
[Angela] I was very nervous,

754
00:45:41,780 --> 00:45:44,867
and when he came in,
it was within minutes he's asking me

755
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:47,286
if guns are allowed in the restaurant.

756
00:45:47,369 --> 00:45:49,830
And I'm thinking,
"What a weird thing to say to me."

757
00:45:49,913 --> 00:45:53,417
Then I'm looking down, and it looks like
he has a gun underneath his sweater.

758
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:56,003
There's something bulging
on the side, and I'm thinking,

759
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:59,381
"I don't wanna be crazy,
but is there any chance

760
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:01,592
that he could pull out a gun
and shoot me?"

761
00:46:01,675 --> 00:46:03,218
I honestly thought that.

762
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:05,053
[indistinct chatter]

763
00:46:06,972 --> 00:46:09,558
[Angela] One of the first things
he said in our conversation

764
00:46:09,641 --> 00:46:11,226
was that he knew where I lived,

765
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:12,895
and he knew where I was from.

766
00:46:12,978 --> 00:46:15,355
Remember, this was
after he had said before,

767
00:46:16,231 --> 00:46:17,274
"Be careful."

768
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:20,444
The meeting was about an hour long,

769
00:46:20,527 --> 00:46:23,405
and I feel like he was begging me

770
00:46:24,198 --> 00:46:26,200
to not air the story.

771
00:46:26,992 --> 00:46:28,660
He said, "It will ruin my marriage."

772
00:46:29,536 --> 00:46:32,372
"It will hurt my church.
I'm an elder at the church."

773
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:33,290
[inaudible]

774
00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:37,711
[Angela] I let him know that we have
that burden to tell the truth,

775
00:46:37,795 --> 00:46:40,047
and the truth matters.

776
00:46:42,716 --> 00:46:44,343
[crows cawing]

777
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:46,720
[birds chirping]

778
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:50,849
[Jacoba] So that's when, like,
the whole whirlwind just started with him,

779
00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:54,186
and strange things started happening.

780
00:46:55,062 --> 00:46:56,814
[suspenseful music playing]

781
00:46:57,481 --> 00:46:59,066
[Jacoba] I had woke up one day,

782
00:46:59,566 --> 00:47:03,028
and all of the lug nuts
were missing off of my car.

783
00:47:04,279 --> 00:47:06,323
And I'm talking all four tires.

784
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:15,249
And that's scary.

785
00:47:15,332 --> 00:47:16,583
[breath shuddering]

786
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:18,460
So, yeah.

787
00:47:18,544 --> 00:47:19,461
[chuckles lightly]

788
00:47:20,128 --> 00:47:21,046
Um…

789
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:24,591
[crying] And you can't tell me
that that's like some freak…

790
00:47:25,425 --> 00:47:26,260
Yeah.

791
00:47:30,222 --> 00:47:31,223
I was hacked.

792
00:47:31,723 --> 00:47:36,228
Everything that I had saved
to a Google Drive

793
00:47:36,311 --> 00:47:40,440
of publications of Cline was just erased,

794
00:47:40,983 --> 00:47:45,988
and every single email
regarding him was gone.

795
00:47:46,071 --> 00:47:48,073
[unnerving music playing]

796
00:47:49,157 --> 00:47:51,493
[Heather] Soon after I went public,

797
00:47:51,577 --> 00:47:53,954
I started getting harassing phone calls,

798
00:47:54,037 --> 00:47:56,081
like the cemetery

799
00:47:56,164 --> 00:47:58,250
asking if I wanted to buy a plot

800
00:47:58,834 --> 00:48:00,210
for me to be buried in.

801
00:48:02,796 --> 00:48:05,299
I think it was to rattle me.

802
00:48:05,382 --> 00:48:06,508
Um…

803
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,014
to… to re-traumatize me
so that I would be quiet.

804
00:48:12,764 --> 00:48:18,270
I don't think he wanted, um, any of us
to talk publicly if he could help it.

805
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:24,067
[Jacoba] In my gut, I feel
like we're being harassed and stalked

806
00:48:24,151 --> 00:48:25,944
to get us to shut up,

807
00:48:26,028 --> 00:48:29,197
especially when Cline called
and threatened me over the phone.

808
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:34,244
[Don] What you're doing is
that you're telling the world,

809
00:48:35,495 --> 00:48:38,248
and the world doesn't need to know.

810
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:43,462
-I--
-[Jacoba] I'm not trying to do harm.

811
00:48:44,379 --> 00:48:45,881
[Don] Well, you are.

812
00:48:46,381 --> 00:48:48,383
[sinister music playing]

813
00:48:50,093 --> 00:48:51,970
[Jacoba] I'm not scared of you.

814
00:48:54,806 --> 00:48:56,224
You can threaten me,

815
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:59,436
but I will never back down.

816
00:49:02,522 --> 00:49:04,399
I am going to expose you.

817
00:49:06,193 --> 00:49:07,945
[suspenseful music playing]

818
00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:11,949
[Jacoba] And I'm gonna expose
all of your secrets.

819
00:49:14,993 --> 00:49:16,995
[birds chirping]

820
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:21,124
[Jacoba] I found out that

821
00:49:22,167 --> 00:49:24,002
in 1963…

822
00:49:24,086 --> 00:49:25,087
[whistling]

823
00:49:26,129 --> 00:49:27,547
[Jacoba] …he was driving…

824
00:49:31,259 --> 00:49:33,220
[girl giggling, screaming playfully]

825
00:49:35,472 --> 00:49:39,351
[Jacoba] …and this little girl
darted out between two cars…

-[thudding]
-[tires screeching]

827
00:49:43,855 --> 00:49:45,565
[Jacoba] …and he hit her.

828
00:49:45,649 --> 00:49:47,651
-[inaudible]
-[suspenseful music playing]

829
00:49:47,734 --> 00:49:49,736
[birds chirping]

830
00:49:50,445 --> 00:49:52,447
[Don breathing heavily]

831
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:58,120
[woman] No!

832
00:49:58,203 --> 00:50:00,205
[woman screaming]

833
00:50:03,500 --> 00:50:04,918
[Jacoba] She ended up dying.

834
00:50:07,879 --> 00:50:11,466
He has told everybody
that's when he changed his life.

835
00:50:13,218 --> 00:50:14,511
That's when he found God.

836
00:50:16,722 --> 00:50:18,306
[music fades]

837
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:21,226
[Mark] That traumatized him.

838
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:25,230
{\an8}After that, he became more religious

839
00:50:25,313 --> 00:50:28,650
{\an8}and, um, churchgoing
than he had been before.

840
00:50:30,277 --> 00:50:32,946
Maybe he thought
that this was his way of giving back,

841
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:35,240
that he took a life
that really wasn't his fault.

842
00:50:35,323 --> 00:50:37,242
Now, he was going to give back.

843
00:50:37,325 --> 00:50:40,954
Maybe that was a psychological process
going through his mind.

844
00:50:41,038 --> 00:50:46,084
But it doesn't really matter
because that should not have been a way

845
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:48,712
that he was trying…
to try to, uh, make amends

846
00:50:48,795 --> 00:50:50,881
for some terrible accident that happened.

847
00:50:50,964 --> 00:50:52,716
[dramatic music playing]

848
00:50:53,633 --> 00:50:56,428
[Jan] He was very religious,

849
00:50:57,137 --> 00:51:00,891
had very deep roots,

850
00:51:00,974 --> 00:51:04,478
and he and his wife taught
marriage counseling in their church.

851
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:06,146
They taught Sunday school.

852
00:51:06,772 --> 00:51:10,233
And whenever he was
in the office and all of us were there,

853
00:51:10,317 --> 00:51:14,696
he would sit down, and we would wait,
and he would say a prayer.

854
00:51:16,573 --> 00:51:18,992
He, at some point, asked me

855
00:51:19,826 --> 00:51:21,495
if I was Jewish,

856
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,581
and I said yes.

857
00:51:24,664 --> 00:51:28,627
{\an8}And I said, "And by the way,
I'm very uncomfortable with your office

858
00:51:28,710 --> 00:51:31,088
{\an8}full of all kinds of Christian sayings."

859
00:51:31,171 --> 00:51:34,299
{\an8}Things like,
"If you want to get into heaven,

860
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:36,343
{\an8}you need to be Christian."

861
00:51:39,554 --> 00:51:41,556
[bell ringing]

862
00:51:46,061 --> 00:51:47,938
{\an8}Yeah. I knew… I knew Donald Cline.

863
00:51:49,648 --> 00:51:51,191
[sprinklers running]

864
00:51:51,274 --> 00:51:53,819
[man] The church is set up
where they have an eldership.

865
00:51:53,902 --> 00:51:57,155
So they have seven or eight men

866
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:01,076
that governed the church body
as far as what was taught,

867
00:52:01,576 --> 00:52:04,579
and he was one of those elders.

868
00:52:06,832 --> 00:52:11,545
We would go over
to his house for baptisms.

869
00:52:13,004 --> 00:52:17,843
Literally, 50 to 100 people
would attend baptisms

870
00:52:17,926 --> 00:52:20,137
right there in their…
at their swimming pool.

871
00:52:21,179 --> 00:52:23,014
[water sloshing]

872
00:52:23,098 --> 00:52:25,350
[man] That's where
we really got to know them.

873
00:52:26,101 --> 00:52:28,228
From a Christian perspective,
you have to say,

874
00:52:28,311 --> 00:52:30,438
"Hey, we… we all have
skeletons in our closet."

875
00:52:30,522 --> 00:52:33,650
"We all have done things
that we regret doing."

876
00:52:33,733 --> 00:52:35,610
[suspenseful music playing]

877
00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:38,905
[man] I know that he and God
have reconciled that.

878
00:52:41,533 --> 00:52:45,078
That he's been forgiven,
and that he has moved on from that,

879
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:47,164
and he's a different person now.

880
00:52:49,082 --> 00:52:52,335
[Jacoba] He portrays himself
as this godly man.

881
00:52:52,961 --> 00:52:54,629
And I know we all make mistakes,

882
00:52:54,713 --> 00:52:57,549
but I think there's more behind this.

883
00:52:57,632 --> 00:52:59,259
What made him

884
00:53:00,093 --> 00:53:03,722
every day wake up
and decide to go into his work,

885
00:53:05,265 --> 00:53:06,391
masturbate,

886
00:53:07,350 --> 00:53:11,479
and place it unknowingly
inside women without their consent.

887
00:53:15,817 --> 00:53:17,527
He could've stopped at any point,

888
00:53:17,611 --> 00:53:21,406
but he kept doing it
over and over and over and over.

889
00:53:22,324 --> 00:53:24,159
[numbers clicking]

890
00:53:24,242 --> 00:53:26,244
[man moaning]

891
00:53:37,255 --> 00:53:41,176
[man] Growing up, I kind of knew
that something was off.

892
00:53:41,259 --> 00:53:42,719
Something was different.

893
00:53:48,058 --> 00:53:50,977
You know,
why do I got blond hair, blue eyes?

894
00:53:51,061 --> 00:53:52,604
[keypad beeping]

895
00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:55,982
[man] Everyone in my family
has dark eyes and dark hair.

896
00:53:58,902 --> 00:54:03,490
So, I got an Ancestry kit
just to figure out where I came from.

897
00:54:03,573 --> 00:54:05,075
[clattering]

898
00:54:05,867 --> 00:54:08,787
[man] When Ancestry results
came through, my coworker said,

899
00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:13,208
{\an8}"Well, you'll have
11, 15 hits on Ancestry."

900
00:54:13,291 --> 00:54:14,334
{\an8}[smacking lips]

901
00:54:14,417 --> 00:54:18,129
{\an8}Well, when I opened up mine,
I had over 3,000 hits.

902
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:20,090
[suspenseful music playing]

903
00:54:22,050 --> 00:54:24,970
[Jason] And then immediately after that,

904
00:54:25,553 --> 00:54:26,554
Jacoba called me.

905
00:54:27,222 --> 00:54:28,390
"I'm your sister."

906
00:54:29,724 --> 00:54:31,309
And she told me the truth.

907
00:54:32,978 --> 00:54:37,440
I don't even know how to tell you
the emotions that came over my head.

908
00:54:39,276 --> 00:54:42,529
Took me to an incredibly dark place.

909
00:54:44,489 --> 00:54:45,532
Why?

910
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:48,201
Why feel the need to do this?

911
00:54:48,285 --> 00:54:50,704
Is it to… to further your career?

912
00:54:53,081 --> 00:54:55,458
Is it to be the best of the best?

913
00:54:55,542 --> 00:54:57,460
Is this to create life?

914
00:54:57,544 --> 00:55:00,505
Is this some sort of sexual thing?

915
00:55:01,006 --> 00:55:02,632
Like, I don't know.

916
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:06,303
I feel like he's hiding
something more sinister.

917
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:11,975
[doorbell ringing]

918
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:14,519
[footsteps approaching]

919
00:55:14,602 --> 00:55:17,689
[Jacoba] Jason, we talked on the phone
a lot before we got to meet.

920
00:55:17,772 --> 00:55:19,024
Hey, how are you?

921
00:55:19,816 --> 00:55:20,859
[Jacoba chuckling]

922
00:55:21,693 --> 00:55:22,694
This is crazy.

923
00:55:22,777 --> 00:55:23,820
[Jacoba] I know!

924
00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:26,448
Jason and I are very similar.

925
00:55:26,531 --> 00:55:28,908
Like, we can
read through people's bullshit.

926
00:55:30,702 --> 00:55:32,203
When someone isn't religious,

927
00:55:32,287 --> 00:55:35,665
and you're gonna use
religious verses to justify your actions,

928
00:55:36,249 --> 00:55:37,625
that just makes it even more--

929
00:55:37,709 --> 00:55:39,252
Worse. I would have just laughed at him.

930
00:55:39,336 --> 00:55:42,339
Well, and it makes it even more
of a reasoning of people saying,

931
00:55:42,422 --> 00:55:45,175
"That right there is why
I would never be religious

932
00:55:45,258 --> 00:55:47,093
because of fuck nuts like you."

933
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:48,928
And it took all I had in me

934
00:55:50,305 --> 00:55:52,974
to talk to him on the phone
that day without going off.

935
00:55:53,058 --> 00:55:55,185
And I thought,
"You've just got to remain calm

936
00:55:55,268 --> 00:55:57,896
because you're recording this,
and try to get as much out."

937
00:55:58,897 --> 00:56:00,023
Let me hear it.

938
00:56:02,650 --> 00:56:05,862
[Don] You know, I know
that nothing happens without God,

939
00:56:06,446 --> 00:56:08,406
um, allowing it.

940
00:56:08,907 --> 00:56:10,116
-[Jacoba sighing]
-[Don] Um…

941
00:56:10,617 --> 00:56:12,535
[Jacoba] See,
I think that's where our problem is.

942
00:56:12,619 --> 00:56:15,121
I don't think that God
should have allowed it in the first place,

943
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:19,084
and I really think that we ask ourselves
every day, "Why are we here?"

944
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:22,754
I think that's, like,
a lot of our problems. [scoffing]

945
00:56:23,922 --> 00:56:24,756
Yeah.

946
00:56:24,839 --> 00:56:29,928
[Don] Well, you know,
I mentioned one of my favorite, um…

947
00:56:31,262 --> 00:56:35,934
One of my favorite scriptures
was Jeremiah 1:5.

948
00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:38,853
If you'll remember, it says,

949
00:56:38,937 --> 00:56:42,524
"Before I formed you
in your mother's womb, I knew you."

950
00:56:42,607 --> 00:56:44,609
[Jacoba] Mm-hmm. Yeah.

951
00:56:44,692 --> 00:56:45,568
[Don] Um,

952
00:56:46,444 --> 00:56:50,615
and… and that tells me,
and it should tell everybody

953
00:56:50,698 --> 00:56:54,911
that no one is born as a mistake.

954
00:56:55,453 --> 00:56:58,998
Before I knew you, in your mother--
What it… What was it? It's--

955
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:02,335
"Before I formed you in
your mother's womb, I knew you."

956
00:57:02,919 --> 00:57:04,629
Jeremiah 1:5.

957
00:57:04,712 --> 00:57:06,673
Which really just kinda…

958
00:57:08,716 --> 00:57:12,345
nails it all home
that he knew what he was doing.

959
00:57:13,596 --> 00:57:15,890
He knew exactly what he was doing with us.

960
00:57:21,479 --> 00:57:23,982
I've just become obsessed with the story

961
00:57:24,065 --> 00:57:26,901
and trying to piece everything together.

962
00:57:27,402 --> 00:57:29,988
When I was sent an email

963
00:57:30,071 --> 00:57:32,740
from someone
at the Attorney General's office,

964
00:57:32,824 --> 00:57:36,161
I would go through,
and the person that sent me the email,

965
00:57:36,244 --> 00:57:39,122
and every person
that was copied in on that email,

966
00:57:39,205 --> 00:57:41,291
I would search them on Facebook.

967
00:57:42,083 --> 00:57:44,377
And one of the people with the state

968
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:47,422
has a "Quiverfull" email address.

969
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:49,841
That's when it was--

970
00:57:50,341 --> 00:57:53,136
"What is Quiverfull?
Like, what the hell is it?"

971
00:57:53,219 --> 00:57:55,138
[keyboard clacking]

972
00:57:56,347 --> 00:57:58,099
God says, "Children are a blessing."

973
00:57:58,183 --> 00:58:00,477
"We should want to have
our quiver full of them…"

974
00:58:01,060 --> 00:58:03,855
[Jacoba] Quiverfull.
It's essentially a cult

975
00:58:03,938 --> 00:58:06,983
aimed to having
as many children as possible.

976
00:58:07,525 --> 00:58:10,778
If a man with his wife
has a lot of children,

977
00:58:10,862 --> 00:58:12,906
he will send them out as arrows.

978
00:58:12,989 --> 00:58:16,034
He's like a warrior for God,
and he sends his children out

979
00:58:16,117 --> 00:58:19,662
as arrows into the world,
who will be ambassadors for God.

980
00:58:19,746 --> 00:58:21,498
[unnerving music playing]

981
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:26,252
[woman] The children are raised
to actively participate in government,

982
00:58:26,336 --> 00:58:28,213
to actively run for office,

983
00:58:28,296 --> 00:58:31,925
to seek positions of political prominence,

984
00:58:32,008 --> 00:58:36,012
and eventually that the civil law
will actually be the Bible.

985
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:39,766
[Jacoba] Lo and behold, Jeremiah 1:5,

986
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:41,976
the verse that he kept using

987
00:58:42,060 --> 00:58:44,479
is one of the Bible verses

988
00:58:45,313 --> 00:58:47,190
that Quiverfull uses.

989
00:58:47,273 --> 00:58:48,900
[keyboard clacking]

990
00:58:49,484 --> 00:58:53,112
[Jacoba] Basically, for them,
women are just-- You… you breed.

991
00:58:54,656 --> 00:58:57,784
Was Cline in this Quiverfull movement?

992
00:58:57,867 --> 00:58:59,619
[suspenseful music playing]

993
00:59:00,328 --> 00:59:06,251
[Jacoba] Were all of us part
of some sick, twisted, secret society?

994
00:59:08,753 --> 00:59:11,589
There's so many theories
that I've thought of in my head.

995
00:59:14,801 --> 00:59:17,554
[Heather] I think the philosophies

996
00:59:17,637 --> 00:59:21,599
or the beliefs of the Quiverfull movement
seem so outrageous to me

997
00:59:21,683 --> 00:59:24,602
that it's hard for me
to actually believe that it's real.

998
00:59:24,686 --> 00:59:27,564
I agree with that
and that we could even be a part of it.

999
00:59:27,647 --> 00:59:28,481
[Heather] Mm-hmm.

1000
00:59:28,565 --> 00:59:29,524
[whispering] Yeah.

1001
00:59:30,608 --> 00:59:34,237
[Julie] With the Quiverfull theory,
back when we were all conceived,

1002
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,991
that theory was
to produce more of the white race

1003
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:42,745
because they were in fear
that other races were infiltrating that

1004
00:59:42,829 --> 00:59:45,331
and the white race
would eventually disappear.

1005
00:59:45,832 --> 00:59:46,666
I mean,

1006
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:50,128
when you look at that wall of babies,

1007
00:59:50,211 --> 00:59:53,214
it is all Caucasian babies.

1008
00:59:53,298 --> 00:59:55,174
[suspenseful music playing]

1009
00:59:56,968 --> 01:00:00,888
[Jacoba] It's crazy because every time
we get a DNA match,

1010
01:00:01,472 --> 01:00:04,142
it's like, "Yep.
Looks like one of the Cline boys,"

1011
01:00:05,184 --> 01:00:06,769
or "Looks like a Cline girl."

1012
01:00:08,563 --> 01:00:10,523
Most of us have blond hair

1013
01:00:11,024 --> 01:00:12,859
and blue eyes.

1014
01:00:15,028 --> 01:00:18,615
I hate to say this
'cause it sounds so-- But it's almost like

1015
01:00:19,449 --> 01:00:23,911
we're like this perfect Aryan clan,

1016
01:00:23,995 --> 01:00:27,832
and… it's disgusting.

1017
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:31,461
It's sad that we have
to have conspiracy theories

1018
01:00:31,544 --> 01:00:33,463
to understand why he did this.

1019
01:00:33,546 --> 01:00:35,506
If he would just tell us,

1020
01:00:35,590 --> 01:00:37,383
then we wouldn't have to go through

1021
01:00:37,467 --> 01:00:39,594
of trying to find
all these different reasons…

1022
01:00:39,677 --> 01:00:41,471
Life would be easier for him if he did.

1023
01:00:41,554 --> 01:00:43,139
It would help all of us heal too.

1024
01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:45,433
But you're not gonna
get that from somebody

1025
01:00:45,516 --> 01:00:49,354
that does not have
compassion or any empathy.

1026
01:00:49,437 --> 01:00:52,857
It's disgusting to sit there
and lay in bed at night,

1027
01:00:52,940 --> 01:00:56,486
and wonder if the person that created you

1028
01:00:57,403 --> 01:00:59,197
is some racist bigot,

1029
01:01:00,782 --> 01:01:03,368
and he used my mom as a pawn.

1030
01:01:03,451 --> 01:01:04,452
[Jacoba sniffling]

1031
01:01:04,535 --> 01:01:07,538
[Jacoba] And he did it
over and over and over again.

1032
01:01:08,373 --> 01:01:10,375
Ugh. [sniffling]

1033
01:01:12,835 --> 01:01:13,920
Ugh!

1034
01:01:15,213 --> 01:01:16,297
[Jacoba sighing]

1035
01:01:17,215 --> 01:01:18,549
I didn't ask to be born.

1036
01:01:18,633 --> 01:01:21,177
I didn't ask to be born
into this situation.

1037
01:01:23,096 --> 01:01:24,472
But this is my life.

1038
01:01:25,014 --> 01:01:26,766
[Debbie] But it's not your fault.

1039
01:01:26,849 --> 01:01:31,104
No, it's not, but then you have this man
who shares half of my DNA.

1040
01:01:32,146 --> 01:01:33,356
Our DNA.

1041
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:34,816
[Jacoba sniffling]

1042
01:01:36,442 --> 01:01:38,695
[Jacoba] There's just
so many theories, and I…

1043
01:01:39,487 --> 01:01:42,323
I don't think we'll ever know
why he was doing it,

1044
01:01:43,449 --> 01:01:44,283
but

1045
01:01:45,743 --> 01:01:49,288
I want him to have to pay for it.
I want an investigation.

1046
01:01:51,249 --> 01:01:52,458
I want him punished.

1047
01:01:52,959 --> 01:01:53,793
[scoffing]

1048
01:01:54,752 --> 01:01:56,754
[keyboard clacking]

1049
01:02:00,091 --> 01:02:03,219
[Jacoba sighing] The Attorney General's
office didn't give a shit.

1050
01:02:04,387 --> 01:02:07,181
We were told that
they couldn't give us any information

1051
01:02:07,265 --> 01:02:08,891
and we weren't allowed to know.

1052
01:02:10,017 --> 01:02:13,187
And we just kind of got disregarded.

1053
01:02:13,688 --> 01:02:16,816
The one person that we had
was Angela Ganote,

1054
01:02:16,899 --> 01:02:20,153
calling and asking them,
"What are you going to do?"

1055
01:02:20,236 --> 01:02:22,113
[dramatic music playing]

1056
01:02:23,197 --> 01:02:26,576
[Angela] I had started back in 2015,

1057
01:02:27,326 --> 01:02:30,455
asking the Attorney General
for an interview,

1058
01:02:31,622 --> 01:02:36,043
asking anything that I could know about
this, and they would tell me nothing.

1059
01:02:37,378 --> 01:02:40,339
And then I also reached out
to the Marion County prosecutor

1060
01:02:40,423 --> 01:02:42,341
and said, "Is anyone listening?"

1061
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:44,385
Finally, the spokesperson

1062
01:02:44,469 --> 01:02:46,888
from the Marion County
prosecutor's office said,

1063
01:02:46,971 --> 01:02:49,474
"Angela, I'm sorry.
I don't-- Somehow I missed it."

1064
01:02:49,974 --> 01:02:54,729
I laid out a long paragraph
of the whole story and what had happened.

1065
01:02:54,812 --> 01:02:57,732
I had even sent our story
that had aired and said,

1066
01:02:57,815 --> 01:02:59,484
"Did you watch our story?

1067
01:02:59,567 --> 01:03:02,236
I've been asking these questions
for more than a year,

1068
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:03,404
and I'm getting nowhere."

1069
01:03:03,988 --> 01:03:07,658
"And I feel like it's time that
the prosecutor, or the Attorney General,

1070
01:03:07,742 --> 01:03:10,995
or somebody sits down
and answers the questions that I have."

1071
01:03:12,288 --> 01:03:14,749
{\an8}When we got the media inquiry,

1072
01:03:14,832 --> 01:03:19,921
{\an8}there hadn't been
any true investigation done anywhere yet.

1073
01:03:20,004 --> 01:03:21,506
But at the end of the day,

1074
01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:24,425
there's just no crime that touches

1075
01:03:24,509 --> 01:03:26,093
this particular act.

1076
01:03:27,094 --> 01:03:28,054
That's our problem.

1077
01:03:29,972 --> 01:03:31,182
[chuckling lightly]

1078
01:03:31,933 --> 01:03:34,060
So I remember we were sitting there,

1079
01:03:34,811 --> 01:03:38,314
and, um, you know, we're asking him,

1080
01:03:38,397 --> 01:03:40,107
"How is this not rape?"

1081
01:03:40,191 --> 01:03:42,360
I don't deny
that it was a sexual violation.

1082
01:03:42,443 --> 01:03:45,238
But legally, it isn't a sexual violation.

1083
01:03:45,822 --> 01:03:48,825
"I feel like my mother was raped"

1084
01:03:48,908 --> 01:03:52,537
is a valid human emotional statement.

1085
01:03:53,579 --> 01:03:57,124
But…"Dr. Cline committed rape"

1086
01:03:57,208 --> 01:04:01,045
is a legal assertion that was not true,

1087
01:04:01,128 --> 01:04:03,589
and I wasn't gonna put it on paper

1088
01:04:03,673 --> 01:04:04,966
with my signature.

1089
01:04:05,049 --> 01:04:07,176
And I said, "What about battery?"

1090
01:04:07,260 --> 01:04:10,179
And… [scoffing] …he got rude with me.

1091
01:04:10,263 --> 01:04:14,183
He said, "I don't know how many times
I'm gonna have to tell you this."

1092
01:04:15,101 --> 01:04:18,187
"I can't charge him with battery.
It wasn't battery."

1093
01:04:18,271 --> 01:04:20,398
I, uh, was so pissed.

1094
01:04:20,481 --> 01:04:22,400
I looked at Tim Delaney, and I said,

1095
01:04:22,483 --> 01:04:25,069
"So if I spit in your face right now,

1096
01:04:25,152 --> 01:04:26,320
it's not battery?"

1097
01:04:26,946 --> 01:04:30,283
And he said, "It is,
because you'd be spitting on me."

1098
01:04:32,743 --> 01:04:34,579
And I'm like, "What the fuck?"

1099
01:04:34,662 --> 01:04:37,790
"So a doctor can go jack off

1100
01:04:37,874 --> 01:04:41,377
and put their sperm in a woman

1101
01:04:41,460 --> 01:04:44,672
who's their patient that did not consent

1102
01:04:44,755 --> 01:04:46,549
to have their doctor do that,

1103
01:04:47,842 --> 01:04:50,469
but yet, you're gonna tell me
that if I spit in your face,

1104
01:04:50,553 --> 01:04:52,847
I'd be arrested and charged with battery?"

1105
01:04:52,930 --> 01:04:56,976
Jacoba and a lot of the individuals
touched by this were very emotional,

1106
01:04:57,059 --> 01:05:02,315
and had, um, a feeling
that what I was there to do,

1107
01:05:02,899 --> 01:05:05,276
wasn't to apply the law

1108
01:05:05,860 --> 01:05:08,863
to determine whether or not
Dr. Cline had committed a crime.

1109
01:05:09,447 --> 01:05:12,283
They thought I was there
to deliver catharsis.

1110
01:05:12,783 --> 01:05:13,743
And I wasn't.

1111
01:05:16,454 --> 01:05:18,456
[unnerving music playing]

1112
01:05:22,585 --> 01:05:24,420
There's unequal application of the law.

1113
01:05:24,503 --> 01:05:26,797
It happens every day,
it happens all over the United States,

1114
01:05:26,881 --> 01:05:28,090
and it happens here in Indiana.

1115
01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:30,718
Was there fraud?

1116
01:05:30,801 --> 01:05:32,511
Was there something else?

1117
01:05:34,305 --> 01:05:37,224
I just didn't feel like
it was investigated enough

1118
01:05:37,308 --> 01:05:40,186
to look at
what could he have been charged with.

1119
01:05:40,269 --> 01:05:43,356
There was never
a good explanation in my mind.

1120
01:05:44,649 --> 01:05:46,984
[Liz] I had a copy
of the Indiana sexual assault law,

1121
01:05:47,568 --> 01:05:52,031
{\an8}and I said, "Surely, there's somewhere
in this law that you can say--"

1122
01:05:52,114 --> 01:05:55,117
{\an8}He says, "No, it has to have
both components. It has to have force

1123
01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:57,411
{\an8}and non-consent."

1124
01:05:57,495 --> 01:05:59,080
{\an8}When you talk about rape,

1125
01:05:59,163 --> 01:06:01,749
{\an8}there is a provision
in Indiana law that says,

1126
01:06:01,832 --> 01:06:03,626
{\an8}"Rape can include conduct

1127
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:07,797
which a victim does not know is sexual,
but the perpetrator knows is sexual."

1128
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,840
And that, I think,
is actually the closest charge,

1129
01:06:10,633 --> 01:06:13,344
{\an8}because in order for him
to produce this sperm sample,

1130
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:15,805
{\an8}he had to masturbate
in very close proximity

1131
01:06:15,888 --> 01:06:18,057
{\an8}to the office where a patient was waiting,

1132
01:06:18,140 --> 01:06:19,725
{\an8}unclothed from the waist down,

1133
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:22,520
{\an8}with a paper cloth covering her knees,

1134
01:06:22,603 --> 01:06:24,230
{\an8}and knees spread apart.

1135
01:06:25,731 --> 01:06:27,191
Who's to say when this touch

1136
01:06:27,274 --> 01:06:29,986
stops becoming sexual
and starts becoming clinical?

1137
01:06:30,903 --> 01:06:34,281
I think even if he's not thinking
of the patient in a sexual sense,

1138
01:06:34,365 --> 01:06:37,702
the very fact that he's still
under the effects of physical arousal

1139
01:06:37,785 --> 01:06:39,662
makes this a sexual touching.

1140
01:06:40,162 --> 01:06:43,916
Even if he's thinking of his wife
or a pink fuzzy bunny rabbit,

1141
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,835
it is still a sexual act.

1142
01:06:45,918 --> 01:06:47,461
[suspenseful music playing]

1143
01:06:47,545 --> 01:06:50,381
But I also think
we have to see Tim Delaney

1144
01:06:50,464 --> 01:06:52,550
in the context
in which this case was brought.

1145
01:06:52,633 --> 01:06:55,011
And so when I interviewed Tim Delaney,

1146
01:06:55,094 --> 01:06:57,346
he said that Indiana juries

1147
01:06:57,430 --> 01:07:00,725
were not willing to buy
rape-by-deception theories.

1148
01:07:01,308 --> 01:07:04,937
The jury is going to say,
"This woman consented to insemination."

1149
01:07:05,021 --> 01:07:08,190
"This woman wanted a child."
And the question is always out there,

1150
01:07:08,274 --> 01:07:12,319
"Does this woman's desire for a child
legitimate Donald Cline's deception?"

1151
01:07:12,403 --> 01:07:14,697
And unfortunately, that is a question

1152
01:07:14,780 --> 01:07:19,076
that Tim Delaney had to weigh
would enter into the minds of jurors.

1153
01:07:20,244 --> 01:07:23,664
[Debbie] If he asked me
if it'd be okay for him to be the donor,

1154
01:07:23,748 --> 01:07:26,459
{\an8}I would have not said yes.

1155
01:07:26,542 --> 01:07:27,710
{\an8}I would say no.

1156
01:07:28,961 --> 01:07:29,795
[Dianna sighing]

1157
01:07:29,879 --> 01:07:33,799
{\an8}It was a violation of him into me.

1158
01:07:35,593 --> 01:07:39,096
The issue for me is there was no consent.

1159
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:42,683
He didn't give me a choice.

1160
01:07:44,018 --> 01:07:45,770
[indistinct chatter]

1161
01:07:45,853 --> 01:07:48,189
[Angela] The Attorney General's office
had at least

1162
01:07:48,272 --> 01:07:50,733
reached out to Dr. Cline at some point

1163
01:07:50,816 --> 01:07:53,402
and asked him if he…
if he had used his sperm,

1164
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:56,655
or had asked some sort of question
because Dr. Cline told me that.

1165
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:59,325
He told me that he filled it out,

1166
01:07:59,408 --> 01:08:01,702
and that he denied anything,
that he wasn't the father.

1167
01:08:01,786 --> 01:08:04,246
I don't know what's in that letter
'cause I've never seen it,

1168
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:05,873
but I know what our conversation was.

1169
01:08:05,956 --> 01:08:09,960
Dr. Cline told me that he talked
with the Attorney General's office

1170
01:08:10,044 --> 01:08:11,504
through paperwork,

1171
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:15,341
and that… he was not the father.

1172
01:08:17,259 --> 01:08:19,887
That was really what ended up
getting him in trouble,

1173
01:08:19,970 --> 01:08:22,681
because he lied to me, and I knew it,

1174
01:08:22,765 --> 01:08:25,643
and he lied on the paperwork
to the Attorney General's office.

1175
01:08:25,726 --> 01:08:28,270
So at one point,
I reached out to the Attorney General,

1176
01:08:28,354 --> 01:08:30,231
and say, "You know he's lying to you."

1177
01:08:30,314 --> 01:08:34,777
{\an8}He lied and said
that he never used his sperm

1178
01:08:34,860 --> 01:08:36,904
{\an8}to inseminate his patients.

1179
01:08:38,239 --> 01:08:41,283
[Tim] Only after we determined
that the Attorney General's office

1180
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:42,827
had sent those letters

1181
01:08:42,910 --> 01:08:45,996
were we able to come up
with a theory for how to proceed.

1182
01:08:46,622 --> 01:08:48,666
We wanted to nail him with something,

1183
01:08:48,749 --> 01:08:50,918
and the fact that
we finally got something,

1184
01:08:51,001 --> 01:08:52,503
it was like a "hurrah" moment.

1185
01:08:53,003 --> 01:08:54,505
And not only that,

1186
01:08:54,588 --> 01:08:57,216
he also added that he was going to sue me

1187
01:08:57,299 --> 01:08:58,968
for libel and slander.

{\an8}[suspenseful music playing]

1189
01:09:00,928 --> 01:09:02,930
[Tim] Denying is obstruction of justice,

1190
01:09:03,013 --> 01:09:06,767
but denying and threatening,
and, to paraphrase, saying,

1191
01:09:06,851 --> 01:09:09,270
"Do you know who I am?"
was more than enough.

1192
01:09:09,812 --> 01:09:12,606
It was like, "Eureka!" The, you know…
The bathwater started spilling out.

1193
01:09:12,690 --> 01:09:14,859
I said, "Oh my God, we've got an angle."

1197
01:09:34,295 --> 01:09:37,256
[Tim] After we began the investigation,

1198
01:09:37,882 --> 01:09:41,177
obviously the first step
was to get DNA from Dr. Cline.

1199
01:09:45,347 --> 01:09:47,391
[indistinct chatter over police radio]

1200
01:09:47,474 --> 01:09:48,726
[Tim] He was sick.

1201
01:09:49,310 --> 01:09:50,895
He had pneumonia, I believe.

1202
01:09:50,978 --> 01:09:52,855
So he said, "Don't come too close."

1203
01:09:54,023 --> 01:09:56,650
And we said,
"We have a search warrant for your DNA."

1204
01:09:57,735 --> 01:10:00,279
He asked a little bit
about "What is this all about?"

1205
01:10:00,362 --> 01:10:01,947
But he knew what it was all about.

He did not look like he was enjoying it.

[Don] Sparingly, but

1218
01:11:05,052 --> 01:11:09,139
keep in mind,
we're talking 30 to 35 years ago,

1219
01:11:09,223 --> 01:11:12,268
and I… I can't remember.

at the center of a controversial case

01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,654
is headed back to court
to answer criminal charges.

1223
01:11:23,737 --> 01:11:26,657
[anchor 2] Dr. Donald Cline is charged
with two felony counts

1224
01:11:26,740 --> 01:11:30,703
of obstruction of justice
for statements he made to investigators.

[anchor 3] The retired
Indianapolis fertility doctor

1226
01:11:32,913 --> 01:11:36,083
now plans to plead guilty
to obstruction of justice.

1227
01:11:36,166 --> 01:11:39,503
Prosecutors say he intentionally
misled investigators about a case

1228
01:11:39,586 --> 01:11:42,339
that's turned dozens
of people's lives upside down.

1229
01:11:42,423 --> 01:11:44,174
And it was literally 20 months ago

1230
01:11:44,258 --> 01:11:47,219
that I got a Facebook question to me,
"Angela, can you help me?"

1231
01:11:47,303 --> 01:11:50,973
And thank you for believing in them,
because no one else did but you.

1232
01:11:51,056 --> 01:11:52,141
Yeah, thank you.

1233
01:11:52,224 --> 01:11:53,600
He didn't want to go to trial

1234
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:55,519
because more information would come out,

1235
01:11:55,602 --> 01:11:58,814
and then also,
he'd probably get more of a punishment.

1236
01:11:58,897 --> 01:12:00,566
So he changed his plea to guilty.

1237
01:12:01,358 --> 01:12:03,360
[tense music playing]

1238
01:12:08,615 --> 01:12:11,952
[Jacoba] I felt good
that day at the court hearing.

1239
01:12:13,287 --> 01:12:16,790
Even though I knew
that all he was being charged with

1240
01:12:16,874 --> 01:12:19,501
was two counts of obstruction of justice,

1241
01:12:19,585 --> 01:12:23,005
I thought, "Fucking finally. Something."

1242
01:12:27,634 --> 01:12:30,804
[Matt] I didn't wanna make
eye contact with him. I…

1243
01:12:32,973 --> 01:12:34,433
I was afraid of him.

1244
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:42,274
[Julie] Uh, he actually walked right
past me and brushed up against me, and…

1245
01:12:43,567 --> 01:12:46,153
it almost brought me to my knees.

1246
01:12:47,029 --> 01:12:47,863
[crying]

1247
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:51,408
That was my first time seeing that man

1248
01:12:52,534 --> 01:12:56,497
and being that close to him,
and there was no regard for us.

1249
01:12:58,540 --> 01:13:01,126
[Don] Your honor, I'm asking for mercy

1250
01:13:01,210 --> 01:13:04,213
and compassion for myself.

1251
01:13:07,424 --> 01:13:09,593
I've tried to live out my life

1252
01:13:09,676 --> 01:13:12,346
showing honesty and care to others,

1253
01:13:12,429 --> 01:13:14,640
and I will continue to do so.

1254
01:13:15,140 --> 01:13:16,683
[Heather] He looked very old

1255
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:20,312
and weak, and part of me thought,

1256
01:13:20,396 --> 01:13:24,358
"Is this an act that you're putting on
to get the judge to go easier on you?"

1257
01:13:24,441 --> 01:13:26,068
[suspenseful music playing]

1258
01:13:26,151 --> 01:13:28,153
[indistinct talking]

1259
01:13:29,196 --> 01:13:31,490
I was allowed to give
a victim-impact statement

1260
01:13:31,573 --> 01:13:35,411
because I was one of the originals
that filed a complaint with the state.

1261
01:13:36,829 --> 01:13:40,916
My hope was that the judge
would be appalled by this,

1262
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:45,254
and that he would at least get,
like, some jail time.

1263
01:13:45,838 --> 01:13:47,881
These are my words to Cline.

1264
01:13:47,965 --> 01:13:51,635
Every time I or my half-siblings
look up our name,

1265
01:13:51,718 --> 01:13:53,679
we all have the same issue tied to you.

1266
01:13:53,762 --> 01:13:55,472
It has caused anguish in everyone,

1267
01:13:55,556 --> 01:13:58,058
and some of us have
wanted to die from this pain.

1268
01:13:59,643 --> 01:14:03,564
For 30 years, my half-sister, Julie,
believed her dad was her biological dad--

1269
01:14:03,647 --> 01:14:05,232
Objection, Your Honor.

1270
01:14:06,150 --> 01:14:07,151
Relevancy.

1271
01:14:08,986 --> 01:14:12,072
We had agreed
to the wording of the statement.

1272
01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:13,699
Literally redlined it.

1273
01:14:14,283 --> 01:14:17,453
And I had things crossed out
or highlighted that you can't say.

1274
01:14:17,536 --> 01:14:19,371
Because of your denials,

1275
01:14:19,455 --> 01:14:21,832
I feel you have
no consideration for the mothers

1276
01:14:21,915 --> 01:14:24,793
who came to you,
us as your biological children,

1277
01:14:24,877 --> 01:14:27,671
or your wife
and the four children you had with her.

1278
01:14:27,754 --> 01:14:31,133
It was always about you.
You lied. You still lie.

1279
01:14:31,216 --> 01:14:34,303
You even have your family believing you,
and that sickens me.

1280
01:14:34,386 --> 01:14:36,513
-Our mothers trusted you–
-[lawyer] Objection!

1281
01:14:36,597 --> 01:14:38,056
She… she went for it.

1282
01:14:38,140 --> 01:14:41,018
I don't know if I would've had the courage
to do that in front of a judge.

1283
01:14:41,101 --> 01:14:42,311
But, you know…

1284
01:14:42,394 --> 01:14:45,731
[Jacoba] I'm asking you to look at the
depth of the reasons he is charged with--

1285
01:14:45,814 --> 01:14:46,857
[lawyer] Objection!

1286
01:14:46,940 --> 01:14:48,650
{\an8}What we're really getting at

1287
01:14:48,734 --> 01:14:51,195
{\an8}is the inability of victims
to tell their stories.

1288
01:14:51,278 --> 01:14:53,280
{\an8}Those who testify can only testify

1289
01:14:53,363 --> 01:14:55,991
{\an8}to… to what is relevant
to a criminal proceeding.

1290
01:14:56,074 --> 01:14:58,827
But-- And what is relevant
to Cline's proceeding

1291
01:14:58,911 --> 01:15:01,330
was not what happened in the '70s or '80s,

1292
01:15:01,413 --> 01:15:03,165
not the births, not the fertility fraud.

1293
01:15:03,248 --> 01:15:04,583
It was the lies to the state.

1294
01:15:05,167 --> 01:15:08,170
In Cline's proceeding,
the state was the victim. They weren't.

1295
01:15:08,754 --> 01:15:12,132
[judge] I do want to reiterate, probably
for the fifth or sixth time at this point,

1296
01:15:12,216 --> 01:15:15,219
that the court, by law, can only consider

1297
01:15:16,094 --> 01:15:18,263
the charges
that Dr. Cline's plead guilty to,

1298
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,599
the obstruction of… of justice charges.

1299
01:15:20,682 --> 01:15:24,728
Obviously, it would be inappropriate
for me to consider outside of that realm.

1300
01:15:25,437 --> 01:15:28,023
What we asked for the judge to do

1301
01:15:28,106 --> 01:15:29,733
was twofold.

1302
01:15:29,816 --> 01:15:35,030
One, to make sure
that these crimes remained as felonies

1303
01:15:35,113 --> 01:15:37,533
on his record, and two,

1304
01:15:37,616 --> 01:15:40,160
deliver executed time,
an executed sentence,

1305
01:15:40,244 --> 01:15:42,454
meaning time served in jail.

1306
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:46,333
[lawyer] We received a number
of support letters for Dr. Cline.

1307
01:15:46,416 --> 01:15:48,293
These are letters
from members of the community,

1308
01:15:48,377 --> 01:15:52,297
former patients, and members
of Dr. Cline's family and church.

1309
01:15:52,381 --> 01:15:55,551
These individuals have known
Dr. Cline for many years.

1310
01:15:55,634 --> 01:15:58,637
And they evidence
a strong connection to his family,

1311
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,973
the community, and that rehabilitation

1312
01:16:01,056 --> 01:16:04,601
is not only possible
but actually has already taken place here.

1313
01:16:05,769 --> 01:16:08,272
[Matt] A lot of folks submitted letters

1314
01:16:08,772 --> 01:16:10,816
{\an8}on his behalf to the judge.

1315
01:16:10,899 --> 01:16:14,027
{\an8}I believe there was one
that came from a prosecutor

1316
01:16:14,111 --> 01:16:16,989
from Boone County,
which is where he lives,

1317
01:16:17,072 --> 01:16:19,575
saying that "This guy is a good man,"

1318
01:16:19,658 --> 01:16:22,035
you know, "He should get some leniency."

1319
01:16:25,831 --> 01:16:28,458
[producer] Is that an odd thing
for a prosecutor to write to a judge

1320
01:16:28,542 --> 01:16:29,501
if it's a friend?

1321
01:16:32,379 --> 01:16:35,173
I'd do well not to comment
on that particular question.

1322
01:16:37,301 --> 01:16:40,137
That's when I, in my gut,

1323
01:16:40,637 --> 01:16:42,472
felt like the state was corrupt.

1324
01:16:42,556 --> 01:16:43,640
There were people corrupt,

1325
01:16:43,724 --> 01:16:45,726
and they were friends
with him or something.

1326
01:16:46,768 --> 01:16:49,313
[judge] Please remember
that whatever happens during sentencing,

1327
01:16:49,396 --> 01:16:51,940
the people that love you
are gonna continue to love you.

1328
01:16:53,317 --> 01:16:56,570
[Jacoba] The judge seemed
very sympathetic towards him,

1329
01:16:56,653 --> 01:16:58,572
like on the verge of tears.

1330
01:16:58,655 --> 01:17:02,034
[judge] With the limited resources
that we have, overcrowding at the jail,

1331
01:17:02,117 --> 01:17:04,369
and your lack of a criminal history,

1332
01:17:04,453 --> 01:17:07,539
um, an executed sentence is nothing
that the court is gonna order.

1333
01:17:07,623 --> 01:17:10,208
I really wanted him to have jail time.

1334
01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:11,168
I really did.

1335
01:17:11,251 --> 01:17:14,588
I thought that that would bring
a little bit of closure to me.

1336
01:17:15,464 --> 01:17:17,424
[voice breaking] But… no.

1337
01:17:18,091 --> 01:17:22,012
[judge] I know that this is your
first offense, but Dr. Cline, I do believe

1338
01:17:22,095 --> 01:17:26,850
that the facts support going ahead
and sentencing you as a level 6 felon.

1339
01:17:28,060 --> 01:17:30,604
Um, as to fines and costs,

1340
01:17:31,104 --> 01:17:33,732
sir, the court will fine you $500.

1341
01:17:34,983 --> 01:17:38,111
[Julie] And so he got
the two Level 6 felonies

1342
01:17:38,195 --> 01:17:40,781
with complete suspended sentences

1343
01:17:40,864 --> 01:17:42,783
and a $500 fine,

1344
01:17:43,700 --> 01:17:45,827
which is a slap in the fucking face.

1345
01:17:45,911 --> 01:17:47,704
[dramatic music playing]

1346
01:17:54,211 --> 01:17:56,213
[inaudible]

1347
01:17:58,298 --> 01:18:00,384
[reporter] Dr. Cline,
do you have any comment at all?

1348
01:18:00,967 --> 01:18:04,012
[reporter 2] Dr. Cline, what would you
change now if you could change anything?

1349
01:18:07,099 --> 01:18:09,726
[Jacoba] This was a span of two years

1350
01:18:09,810 --> 01:18:12,104
from me filing a complaint,

1351
01:18:12,187 --> 01:18:15,232
to them actually,
finally doing something about it.

1352
01:18:15,315 --> 01:18:16,400
[elevator bell dings]

1353
01:18:16,983 --> 01:18:18,110
[Jacoba] And…

1354
01:18:18,193 --> 01:18:19,069
[scoffing]

1355
01:18:19,569 --> 01:18:22,989
…this judge just let this man

1356
01:18:23,073 --> 01:18:25,367
pretty much off the hook.

1357
01:18:25,450 --> 01:18:27,077
[tense music playing]

1358
01:18:29,830 --> 01:18:32,416
[Jacoba] And I dread
every new match that comes.

1359
01:18:34,084 --> 01:18:35,752
But they just keep coming,

1360
01:18:36,253 --> 01:18:38,714
and you never know the day
that you're gonna wake up,

1361
01:18:38,797 --> 01:18:40,632
and then they're going to be there.

1362
01:18:43,385 --> 01:18:45,095
[numbers clicking]

1363
01:18:45,178 --> 01:18:47,180
[man moaning]

1364
01:18:47,264 --> 01:18:49,266
[suspenseful music playing]

1365
01:18:53,729 --> 01:18:55,981
{\an8}I just-- Uh, I feel like he…

1366
01:18:58,984 --> 01:19:00,819
{\an8}That this was some sick

1367
01:19:02,154 --> 01:19:04,072
game experiment for him.

1368
01:19:04,156 --> 01:19:05,449
[breath shuddering]

1369
01:19:06,992 --> 01:19:08,076
[Don] As far as I know,

1370
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,872
all of the inseminations
that I did with my sample,

1371
01:19:13,331 --> 01:19:15,625
um, and again it was sparingly,

1372
01:19:16,126 --> 01:19:18,462
um, had a healthy baby.

1373
01:19:19,254 --> 01:19:21,506
It was, you know, important to my parents

1374
01:19:22,299 --> 01:19:24,259
that it was someone that was healthy,

1375
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,512
and for him
to turn around and violate them

1376
01:19:27,596 --> 01:19:31,057
and do this without their consent, and

1377
01:19:32,392 --> 01:19:37,063
there's a lot of us
that have the same health issues.

1378
01:19:38,148 --> 01:19:40,025
Almost every single one of us.

1379
01:19:42,778 --> 01:19:46,239
[Jacoba] I've been to so many doctors,
been to the Cleveland Clinic.

1380
01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:48,617
They don't know what's wrong with me.

1381
01:19:49,326 --> 01:19:50,202
I'm sick.

1382
01:19:51,661 --> 01:19:55,540
And other, um, siblings have, um,

1383
01:19:56,208 --> 01:19:58,418
autoimmune diseases and stuff.

1384
01:19:58,502 --> 01:19:59,795
[breathing deeply]

1385
01:19:59,878 --> 01:20:02,130
I have an autoimmune disease, yeah.

1386
01:20:02,214 --> 01:20:04,132
It's, um, a blood clotting disorder,

1387
01:20:04,216 --> 01:20:07,928
um, which I didn't know
until I had a miscarriage,

1388
01:20:08,011 --> 01:20:11,223
and, uh, we were determining
what would have caused that.

1389
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:13,058
I mean, I've had…

1390
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:15,977
[exhaling sharply]

1391
01:20:16,561 --> 01:20:19,356
…colonoscopy, endoscopy, I've had--

1392
01:20:21,107 --> 01:20:23,318
I mean, I've spent weeks in the hospital,

1393
01:20:23,819 --> 01:20:25,987
losing 15 pounds at a time.

1394
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:31,743
I have a lot of digestive,
um, and colon issues, and

1395
01:20:32,786 --> 01:20:34,788
no one on my mom's side does.

1396
01:20:37,999 --> 01:20:39,543
[Mark] In the early '70s,

1397
01:20:39,626 --> 01:20:42,879
I had heard
that he was having trouble, uh, operating

1398
01:20:42,963 --> 01:20:44,798
because he had rheumatoid arthritis.

1399
01:20:44,881 --> 01:20:47,092
And he had-- His hands were swelling up.

1400
01:20:47,592 --> 01:20:50,720
I… I, at that time,
I felt I would hate to see him,

1401
01:20:50,804 --> 01:20:53,723
his career of being a great surgeon end

1402
01:20:53,807 --> 01:20:56,601
because he couldn't get
the right treatment for his arthritis.

1403
01:20:56,685 --> 01:20:58,728
And so, I called our chief of medicine,

1404
01:20:58,812 --> 01:21:00,647
told him about Cline's problems.

1405
01:21:00,730 --> 01:21:03,441
And he said,
"Yeah. Well, let me call Dr. B. up there,"

1406
01:21:03,525 --> 01:21:06,987
and Cline went down and met with him,
and he told him what to take, etcetera.

1407
01:21:07,070 --> 01:21:11,700
So, once he got on the right medications,
he seemed to be fine.

1408
01:21:11,783 --> 01:21:13,535
[Shereen] His symptoms abated.

1409
01:21:14,536 --> 01:21:15,370
[glass sliding]

1410
01:21:16,746 --> 01:21:19,291
[Robert] I know
in talking to a sperm bank,

1411
01:21:20,375 --> 01:21:23,837
30% of the guys didn't even make it

1412
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,006
past the questionnaire

1413
01:21:26,590 --> 01:21:28,341
because of what was in their family.

1414
01:21:28,425 --> 01:21:31,386
History of cancer, history of whatever,

1415
01:21:31,887 --> 01:21:33,847
even color blindness, for goodness sakes.

1416
01:21:33,930 --> 01:21:36,391
Now, looking back at it, and being like,

1417
01:21:36,474 --> 01:21:39,519
"Okay. He's got an autoimmune disease,

1418
01:21:39,603 --> 01:21:44,190
um, and his sperm
wouldn't have even been allowed

1419
01:21:44,274 --> 01:21:46,192
to be a donor because of that."

1420
01:21:46,818 --> 01:21:49,487
Like, "Dude, you knew this."

1421
01:21:49,571 --> 01:21:52,240
"You knew… you knew you had issues."

1422
01:21:52,324 --> 01:21:54,576
"Like, how… how dare you?"

1423
01:21:55,785 --> 01:21:57,287
[smacking lips] Yeah.

1424
01:21:57,370 --> 01:21:58,204
[scoffing]

1425
01:22:00,165 --> 01:22:02,083
Now, there's the Don Cline we knew,

1426
01:22:03,043 --> 01:22:06,338
that I knew, that I th-- knew well.

1427
01:22:08,506 --> 01:22:11,176
And there's the Don Cline
I would have never imagined.

1428
01:22:11,259 --> 01:22:12,719
[suspenseful music playing]

1429
01:22:12,802 --> 01:22:13,970
[sighing heavily]

1430
01:22:14,054 --> 01:22:14,930
Yeah.

1431
01:22:15,889 --> 01:22:17,140
Yeah. It broke my heart.

1432
01:22:19,017 --> 01:22:19,935
[exhales sharply]

1433
01:22:24,147 --> 01:22:24,981
Evil.

1434
01:22:25,982 --> 01:22:29,110
And I-- If Don was right here,
I'd say that right to his face.

1435
01:22:34,157 --> 01:22:35,533
[Jacoba] Still to this day,

1436
01:22:35,617 --> 01:22:39,621
there are people
in his community that back him.

1437
01:22:40,413 --> 01:22:44,459
And people that sit there and say,
"But he is such a wonderful man."

1438
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,212
And I just want to look at those people

1439
01:22:47,295 --> 01:22:50,006
and say, "Well, then maybe
he should have put his sperm

1440
01:22:50,090 --> 01:22:52,425
in your wife without her consent."

1441
01:22:52,509 --> 01:22:55,178
"And then how would you like that?"

1442
01:22:57,931 --> 01:22:59,432
[numbers clicking]

1443
01:22:59,516 --> 01:23:01,518
[man moaning]

1444
01:23:01,601 --> 01:23:03,603
[melancholy music playing]

1445
01:23:05,897 --> 01:23:09,859
{\an8}I took a 23andMe DNA test because,

1446
01:23:10,402 --> 01:23:12,362
{\an8}about four or five years ago now,

1447
01:23:12,445 --> 01:23:16,241
{\an8}my children and I were both diagnosed
with a genetic disorder.

1448
01:23:17,409 --> 01:23:19,202
I got the results back.

1449
01:23:19,285 --> 01:23:24,124
And when I got to the genetic DNA family,

1450
01:23:24,791 --> 01:23:27,419
there were half-siblings listed.

1451
01:23:27,502 --> 01:23:30,588
And I honestly just thought,
"Oh, this is a mistake."

1452
01:23:31,464 --> 01:23:33,299
Because by that time,

1453
01:23:33,383 --> 01:23:40,015
I didn't know that my parents
had any type of fertility treatment

1454
01:23:40,098 --> 01:23:42,851
other than receiving
fertility medications.

1455
01:23:43,643 --> 01:23:48,940
So I kind of just put it out of my mind,
and didn't think anything of it.

1456
01:23:49,024 --> 01:23:50,442
[suspenseful music playing]

1457
01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:54,070
And then I had
a couple messages from Jacoba.

1458
01:23:55,739 --> 01:23:57,574
And it basically said,

1459
01:23:57,657 --> 01:24:01,369
"I'm sure
you're confused by your results."

1460
01:24:01,453 --> 01:24:03,955
"Feel free to contact me
with any questions."

1461
01:24:04,831 --> 01:24:09,419
It didn't occur to me
that she was talking about the siblings,

1462
01:24:09,502 --> 01:24:14,257
so I just
kind of disregarded that message.

1463
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:16,634
{\an8}[Dr. Phil theme music playing]

1464
01:24:18,970 --> 01:24:23,099
{\an8}[Alison] On December 9th of 2019,

1465
01:24:23,183 --> 01:24:24,517
{\an8}a Dr. Phil show aired.

1466
01:24:25,226 --> 01:24:27,062
{\an8}Well, question for you.

1467
01:24:27,145 --> 01:24:29,064
{\an8}How would you feel if you found out

1468
01:24:29,147 --> 01:24:31,274
{\an8}your mother's fertility doctor

1469
01:24:32,150 --> 01:24:34,527
{\an8}was actually your biological father?

1470
01:24:34,611 --> 01:24:36,321
[crowd murmuring]

1471
01:24:38,573 --> 01:24:40,408
[breathing heavily]

1472
01:24:41,367 --> 01:24:43,328
When the siblings walked out…

1473
01:24:43,411 --> 01:24:44,329
[clearing throat]

1474
01:24:45,413 --> 01:24:47,207
{\an8}Jacoba was introduced.

1475
01:24:47,290 --> 01:24:52,545
{\an8}You felt no remorse from him,
other than just the fear of being caught.

1476
01:24:52,629 --> 01:24:55,173
{\an8}He was not remorseful at all.
[clearing throat]

1477
01:24:55,256 --> 01:24:58,259
{\an8}-[Dr. Phil] None?
-He just did not want it to be public.

1478
01:24:58,343 --> 01:25:01,012
{\an8}He told me,
"The world does not need to know."

1479
01:25:01,930 --> 01:25:02,972
{\an8}[Dr. Phil] Wow.

1480
01:25:06,559 --> 01:25:10,438
I, uh, quickly got my phone
and opened my 23andMe,

1481
01:25:11,106 --> 01:25:15,401
and all of the siblings on that show
were listed as my half-siblings.

1482
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:20,490
So then I knew, I knew at that moment,

1483
01:25:21,241 --> 01:25:23,827
that there-- That we were a part of it.

1484
01:25:23,910 --> 01:25:25,370
[suspenseful music playing]

1485
01:25:25,453 --> 01:25:29,207
{\an8}I was a patient
of Dr. Cline's for many years.

1486
01:25:30,416 --> 01:25:35,046
I think he took each case very personally.

1487
01:25:35,130 --> 01:25:36,589
At least he did with me.

1488
01:25:38,508 --> 01:25:40,176
He delivered the girls,

1489
01:25:41,344 --> 01:25:44,472
and he came over with his wife

1490
01:25:44,556 --> 01:25:46,933
to see our babies at home.

1491
01:25:51,104 --> 01:25:53,815
[Alison] So this is a picture
of my twin sister and I

1492
01:25:53,898 --> 01:25:57,068
right after delivery, in the incubator.

1493
01:25:57,694 --> 01:25:58,611
[sniffling]

1494
01:25:59,904 --> 01:26:01,030
[Alison] And…

1495
01:26:06,119 --> 01:26:10,331
this is the picture of Cline
holding me as an infant at the house.

1496
01:26:12,959 --> 01:26:15,378
I was probably eight months old there.

1497
01:26:21,885 --> 01:26:25,555
I had such mixed emotions in that

1498
01:26:26,639 --> 01:26:29,684
the thought that he had used

1499
01:26:29,767 --> 01:26:33,563
his own specimen to impregnate me

1500
01:26:34,314 --> 01:26:38,443
made me kind of queasy
and sick to my stomach.

1501
01:26:39,027 --> 01:26:40,778
Whereas, um…

1502
01:26:42,822 --> 01:26:44,157
on the other hand,

1503
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,952
I thought about the fact
that because of his skills

1504
01:26:48,036 --> 01:26:49,662
in operating on me,

1505
01:26:49,746 --> 01:26:54,292
and… and clearing up some of the things
that were causing infertility,

1506
01:26:54,375 --> 01:26:56,085
I was grateful to him.

1507
01:26:56,711 --> 01:26:59,172
So I had this mix of emotions,

1508
01:26:59,255 --> 01:27:02,383
and I have twin daughters

1509
01:27:02,467 --> 01:27:06,137
who are absolutely delightful girls.

1510
01:27:07,388 --> 01:27:08,640
[voice breaking] And I--

1511
01:27:09,390 --> 01:27:11,059
You know, you can't be angry

1512
01:27:11,142 --> 01:27:14,687
when you have…
you have what you always dreamed of.

1513
01:27:15,480 --> 01:27:17,106
[dramatic music playing]

1514
01:27:17,190 --> 01:27:20,652
Well, it was, um, complex for me because…

1515
01:27:23,571 --> 01:27:25,907
I was 47 years old at the time,

1516
01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:27,242
and to find out…

1517
01:27:30,161 --> 01:27:31,704
[breath shuddering]

1518
01:27:31,788 --> 01:27:34,499
…that the man I looked up to and emulated

1519
01:27:34,582 --> 01:27:36,167
from the time I was small…

1520
01:27:38,127 --> 01:27:42,465
was not my biological father was crushing.

1521
01:27:44,884 --> 01:27:46,427
That was the biggest part.

1522
01:27:46,511 --> 01:27:49,555
I felt this need to protect him,

1523
01:27:49,639 --> 01:27:51,724
and I didn't want people to know.

1524
01:27:54,852 --> 01:27:55,687
[sniffling]

1525
01:27:55,770 --> 01:27:59,274
But the other part of my story

1526
01:27:59,357 --> 01:28:03,236
is that Don Cline
was also my fertility doctor.

1527
01:28:04,529 --> 01:28:06,531
[sinister music playing]

1528
01:28:09,242 --> 01:28:12,328
[Alison] He was my main GYN.

1529
01:28:12,412 --> 01:28:16,874
He took care of all my gynecological needs
for the two years that I saw him.

1530
01:28:16,958 --> 01:28:18,918
He did my Pap exams.

1531
01:28:19,002 --> 01:28:20,878
He did breast exams.

1532
01:28:24,549 --> 01:28:28,928
I mean, I don't think
any grown woman wants…

1533
01:28:30,805 --> 01:28:33,391
someone closely related to them,

1534
01:28:33,474 --> 01:28:37,895
a member of the opposite sex,
to touch them in that way, in such--

1535
01:28:37,979 --> 01:28:41,983
It's a very vulnerable position
that the patient is in.

1536
01:28:42,567 --> 01:28:45,236
And to be touching and examining

1537
01:28:46,738 --> 01:28:49,324
private areas of your body. It's just--

1538
01:28:50,533 --> 01:28:52,535
[breath shuddering]

1539
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:57,498
It's-- I can't… I can't even think
about it without getting upset.

1540
01:28:58,499 --> 01:29:01,210
I didn't get to have
that knowledge. He knew.

1541
01:29:01,294 --> 01:29:04,505
I didn't get to know that
or have the chance to say,

1542
01:29:04,589 --> 01:29:06,924
"No. I would… I…
I'd rather I see someone else."

1543
01:29:07,008 --> 01:29:11,637
"I don't… I don't want someone
who is biologically related to me

1544
01:29:11,721 --> 01:29:13,181
to touch me in that way."

1545
01:29:13,264 --> 01:29:15,016
I didn't get to do… know that.

[dramatic music playing]

1547
01:29:19,896 --> 01:29:23,107
It's almost, you know,

1548
01:29:23,191 --> 01:29:26,194
it's like… it's like a bad dream
that you-- that's recurring.

1549
01:29:27,028 --> 01:29:28,363
You wanna wake up.

1550
01:29:28,446 --> 01:29:30,865
But every time you wake up,
it's not a dream.

1551
01:29:33,743 --> 01:29:38,915
[crying] I just can't believe
how it was, you know, done to us.

1552
01:29:38,998 --> 01:29:43,503
I really can't. And for him
to act like nothing happened.

1553
01:29:43,586 --> 01:29:45,755
I think that's the worst part of it.

1555
01:29:48,966 --> 01:29:52,303
[Don] I don't want you
to think that I do this--

1556
01:29:52,387 --> 01:29:56,182
I did the insemination with my own sample

1557
01:29:56,265 --> 01:29:57,683
very blasé.

1558
01:29:59,602 --> 01:30:03,022
Was there a sexual connotation to it?

1559
01:30:03,106 --> 01:30:04,190
Absolutely not.

1560
01:30:05,149 --> 01:30:08,236
I don't look at these people

1561
01:30:08,319 --> 01:30:10,696
and consider them to be my

1562
01:30:11,406 --> 01:30:12,532
children.

1563

[Julie] I want zero relationship with him.

1565

[sniffling]

1567
01:30:30,633 --> 01:30:32,927
I may share half of his DNA,

1568
01:30:34,137 --> 01:30:36,681
but he's not my father,
and he never will be.

[emotional music playing]

1570
01:30:43,020 --> 01:30:46,357
I feel sorry for him
because his whole life to his wife,

1571
01:30:46,441 --> 01:30:49,610
to his own children,
to his community, to his church,

1572
01:30:50,153 --> 01:30:53,406
to his colleagues
in the hospital and his office.

1573
01:30:54,615 --> 01:30:55,783
It's all a lie.

1574
01:30:58,327 --> 01:31:01,247
I would like to see him
pay for what he did…

1575

[sniffling]

1576
01:31:03,958 --> 01:31:05,835
…but I just, I feel like…

1577
01:31:07,670 --> 01:31:09,797
there isn't gonna be any justice.

1578
01:31:11,424 --> 01:31:12,425
I'm okay.

1579
01:31:14,594 --> 01:31:16,888
This is not my issue. It's his.

1580
01:31:22,852 --> 01:31:26,272
[Matt] I think continually putting
his name and face in the media,

1581
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:31,736
and telling our story
was the absolute way to go.

1582
01:31:33,821 --> 01:31:35,907
I'm not gonna run away from him.

1583
01:31:36,616 --> 01:31:38,534
Not gonna run away from this story.

1584
01:31:40,203 --> 01:31:42,788
If you were not even
experiencing problems with infertility,

1585
01:31:42,872 --> 01:31:46,125
if you saw Dr. Cline and you have a child,

1586
01:31:46,209 --> 01:31:49,629
I think it is important,
very important, that you have a DNA test.

1587
01:31:49,712 --> 01:31:53,382
Your child has a DNA test,
just to be certain that you know

1588
01:31:53,466 --> 01:31:55,843
who the father is of that child.

[Jacoba] Instead of destroying me…

01:32:07,772 --> 01:32:09,899
you made me realize my self-worth.

1591
01:32:10,900 --> 01:32:12,735
That's absolutely what you did.

1592
01:32:12,818 --> 01:32:15,780
And you made me realize
what my purpose is too.

1593
01:32:15,863 --> 01:32:16,948
And I'm a fighter.

1594
01:32:18,199 --> 01:32:21,744
And I will fight for every sibling

that I don't know,

1596

and for every woman that you assaulted.

1597

And I will do this
until the fucking day I die.
