Regardless, on that day an ambulance was called to the dairy, Michael recalled, and Natalia ended up committed to Larue Carter, the Indiana State Mental Hospital, for a psychological evaluation.
Hospital employees—who wished to remain anonymous but are heard on the show in audio recordings—shared that Natalia was transferred to the adult wing after they saw pubic hair while administering a sedative injection via her backside.
Once she was around adult male patients, according to the staffers, she flirted with them constantly. After she’d been at the hospital for a few weeks, Michael said, they got a call to come pick Natalia up because she was creating a disturbance with her sexual advances.
Back home, as Michael recalled, Kristine threatened Natalia that if she didn’t start telling the truth, she’d have to sleep outside.
She in turn locked the girl out of the house—and though, Michael said, he felt too bad to leave her out there all night, Natalia was outside long enough for a neighbor to see her and call child services.
