00:00I would like to turn myself in because I'm very mentally unstable.
00:05Okay, and what's going on there?
00:08I murdered my girlfriend.
00:10You'll need to use forceful entry to get into the house.
00:13Police!
00:15Yep, she's there. She's right here. We got her.
00:17And then I just lost control.
00:19It was almost like something else, like, possessed me.
00:24I got to spend time with the vessel that was in,
00:27and I got to absorb her spirit.
00:29She said, are you kidding me?
00:32What the?
00:33Chance, stop.
00:35Wait, please stop.
00:37I'm dying.
00:38I love you. I love you.
00:40And then she didn't speak another word.
00:42This is 27-year-old Chance Donahoe,
00:45who only hours earlier confessed to savagely murdering his ex-girlfriend in her Columbus home.
00:51But as investigators soon learn, violence was only part of a far more disturbing story,
00:56one fueled by control, betrayal, and delusions of power.
01:01So are you, like, as we speak right now, are you feeling like you're a god right now?
01:06I mean, yeah.
01:07The following is based on official police records, and the footage has never been seen before.
01:12In the early morning hours of August 29th, 2023,
01:16a chilling call comes into dispatchers at the Powell Police Department, and it's from Chance himself.
01:22911, what's the address of your emergency?
01:25And your name?
01:26My name is Chance.
01:27Okay. And what's going on there?
01:30I murdered my girlfriend.
01:32You'll need to use forceful entry to get into the house.
01:35I plan on taking myself to the police station after this phone call.
01:39Do you want the police to come to you? Can they come to you?
01:44I would like to turn myself in because I'm very mentally unstable, and I'm worried that I'm going to commit by cop if the cops come and pick me up.
01:54So I need to go into the station for my safety and the police officer's safety.
01:59Well, do you want to go ahead and get in your car and go ahead and drive to the police department and I'll stay on the line?
02:06Yeah.
02:07Chance is confessing to murdering his 29-year-old ex-girlfriend, Shannon Hyatt,
02:12As he continues speaking with Powell Dispatch, the call is relayed to Columbus authorities,
02:17who quickly send officers to the address he provided.
02:20Caller is in Powell on the phone.
02:22He's going to do a cop in Powell.
02:27Why are we going to Berkeley?
02:30With Columbus officers now en route to Shannon's home, Powell Dispatch continues speaking with Chance, hoping to gather more details.
02:38Do you have any weapons on you, Chance?
02:41I have the murder weapon with me.
02:43Are you able to leave that in your apartment?
02:46Uh...
02:47I want you to leave that in your apartment, okay?
02:50I don't want you to take any weapons with you.
02:52Okay.
02:53What is the murder weapon?
02:55It's a knife.
02:56Is there any way that I could put it somewhere where there's a child in the home and I don't want him to see it?
03:04There's a child in your apartment?
03:07Yeah.
03:08I live with my mother and she's standing right next to me holding me accountable for making this phone call.
03:13And I just don't want my little brother to see it.
03:15He's only seven years old.
03:17Okay.
03:18Can we put the knife on top of the refrigerator?
03:20Yeah, that's fine.
03:22Okay.
03:23I want you to put it on there, not your mother.
03:25I don't want your mother to touch it.
03:27Okay.
03:28I'm gonna put the knife on top of the fridge.
03:30Don't touch it.
03:31At all.
03:32Okay?
03:33I'm gonna give my mother one last hug before this all starts.
03:36Okay.
03:37Alright, go ahead and do that.
03:38I'm gonna go to prison now.
03:40As police close in on his location, dispatch continues asking Chance questions, attempting to keep Chance stationary until units arrive.
03:48But the clock is ticking and it's only a matter of time before he catches on.
03:53Are you in your car?
03:54Yes, I just turned on my car.
03:56Give me a second.
03:57I can't really move my hand very well.
03:59You're fine.
04:00Stay there for right now.
04:01I just want you to take a couple deep breaths, alright?
04:04Okay.
04:05How's your finger doing?
04:06I can't really move it.
04:08How deep did it go?
04:10I'm pretty sure it sliced the ligament.
04:12It did?
04:13Yeah.
04:14Okay.
04:15Do you want me to send a medic to you first?
04:18No.
04:19I'll receive all my treatment at the jail, please and thank you.
04:23Yeah, not a problem.
04:25Where are you at in the lot just parked right in front of your apartment?
04:31I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
04:33I need to bring myself to you and I don't want to be tricked into being picked up and
04:40so I'm gonna refuse to answer that but I'm in my car, the car has started and I will not
04:46disconnect this call until I reach the jail cell and you have spoken with an officer.
04:51Okay.
04:52I need to be verifying that.
04:53I am not safe.
04:55Okay.
04:56I am not a safe person right now and the safest thing is for me to turn myself in at a jail.
05:05Okay.
05:06Not be picked up because if guns get drawn on me, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
05:11As the call continues, Chance leaves the apartment complex and begins driving.
05:15But Powell officers have found him and they're closing in fast.
05:18They're closing in fast.
05:19I left the apartment complex but I need to pull over real quick and put the address.
05:24You left?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Okay.
05:27Where are you at?
05:28There's a cop right behind me and I know, yeah, I know that I'm being followed and everything.
05:37If you have this officer on dispatch, I need you to tell him to just follow me to the police station.
05:43Can you just pull over and let him put you in the back so he can take you to the police station?
05:49It'd make it so much easier, Chance.
05:52How?
05:53It would just make it be done right now.
05:56Okay.
05:57Okay?
05:58Can you just pull over right now?
06:00Yeah.
06:01Thanks to dispatch stalling Chance's departure, officers were able to intercept Chance less than half a mile away from the address he left from.
06:09He turns at an intersection and pulls over into the Sheetz gas station where the police make contact for the first time.
06:15Can you make commands?
06:16Because you probably can't hear him on this side.
06:18Can you put both hands out the window for me?
06:20I got both hands.
06:22Well, his hands are back in.
06:24Put your hands out.
06:25Keep them out.
06:26Put your hands out.
06:27Keep your hands out.
06:29One of your hands and open your car door.
06:35Open the door from the outside.
06:37Face away.
06:38Face away.
06:39Keep your hands above your head.
06:42Slowly start walking backwards.
06:44Walk back towards me.
06:46Back towards the side of my voice.
06:48Keep walking back.
06:50With Chance fully cooperating, officers place him in handcuffs then shift focus to the vehicle, unsure of what else might be inside.
06:58This side.
06:59Doors open.
07:00Clear.
07:01He's got gloves.
07:02Yep.
07:03Blood on it looks like.
07:04You got anything on you bud?
07:05Nope.
07:06I got nothing.
07:07Nothing.
07:08I got 25 bucks and then punch it.
07:09Okay.
07:10It's secure.
07:11Your gloves look like blood on it.
07:12Are you injured at all, Chance, beside your finger?
07:13Uh, just a little scratch on this other hand.
07:15Your other hand?
07:16The laceration on this pinky.
07:17When did that happen?
07:18During the attack.
07:19Okay.
07:20And you put that bandage on yourself?
07:21Yeah.
07:22Okay.
07:23It's just a napkin and some medical tape.
07:37Officers place Chance in the back of a patrol vehicle and remove his shoes, revealing bloodstained socks underneath.
07:43Both the socks and shoes are placed in paper evidence bags as they wait to transfer them to Columbus PD custody.
07:49Meanwhile, outside Shannon's home, Columbus officers prepare to make entry, unaware of the horror waiting on the other side of the door.
07:57Can I kick the door?
07:58I'm good.
07:59Kick the door.
08:00Police!
08:01Yep, she's dead.
08:02She's right here.
08:03We got her.
08:04Clear the house.
08:05Let's go.
08:06That's 11.
08:07We're clearing the house.
08:08We got one down on the floor.
08:09Did she get shot?
08:10Or did she get stabbed?
08:11Everything has one.
08:12Okay.
08:13Did you get a quarter throw down?
08:15Dude, he had a quarter throw down or something.
08:18There's blood in the hallway.
08:19Yeah.
08:20You see that?
08:21But I mean, there's a hole.
08:22A hole like this big in her throat.
08:24Inside, officers find Shannon Hyatt on the living room floor, riddled with numerous stab wounds across her upper body and a deep slash across her throat.
08:33A large pool of blood sits beneath her, with additional stains splattered across the carpet and couch.
08:39She's pronounced dead on scene at 618 AM.
08:43Columbus officers relay the information to their dispatch, who then notifies Powell Dispatch that Shannon has been found deceased.
08:50He killed her.
08:52Oh, my God.
08:53It makes me sick to my stomach.
08:54As the weight of the news settles in, Powell officers arrive at the home of Ashley Ratka, Chance Donahoe's mother, where the 911 call was originally placed.
09:03Hi.
09:04How are you, Mom?
09:05I'm good.
09:06Okay.
09:07Can I just have you step out here real quick?
09:08Is there somebody else with you?
09:10What's up?
09:11Is there anyone else in the room?
09:12Just your...
09:13Okay.
09:14Is he awake?
09:15He's awake.
09:16Okay.
09:17I just want to make sure he's okay.
09:20That's all.
09:21That's all we're...
09:22That's all we got to do is make sure he's okay for right now.
09:23Okay?
09:24Is Chance at the police station now?
09:26Uh, we have no custody.
09:27Yeah.
09:28He went voluntarily.
09:29Okay.
09:30All right.
09:31Hey, ma'am.
09:32Is there a knife?
09:33Yeah, it's on the top.
09:34I see that knife.
09:35Inside the residence, officers locate the knife on top of the refrigerator, just as Chance
09:42described to the 911 operator, along with a pile of his clothing next to the washing machine,
09:47believed to be the first outfit he had on when he initially approached Shannon's house.
09:52Ashley's other son is also confirmed to be safe and sound, sleeping in his room. Chance's
09:57mother is later questioned by investigators, recounting the events leading up to the initial
10:02911 call.
10:03He, um, woke me up at like 5 in the morning instead of all we need to talk to.
10:08And if you don't want to talk to me, you don't have to.
10:10I'm really sorry I'm going through this.
10:12I really don't.
10:13So then he like, he said the knife was in his car.
10:18He said his phone was in his car and he said he was going to like, go sit somewhere
10:23for a minute and have an hour of freedom.
10:25I said, Chance, you need to just call 911 right now.
10:28Like, you need to just do this.
10:31So he did.
10:34His mother's insistence may have been the only thing that kept Chance from disappearing.
10:38Now in police custody, he's transferred to Columbus PD and taken to the Franklin County Jail,
10:43where he would be interviewed just a few hours later.
10:46I had like a major psychological break and like, kind of completely and utterly like, lost control of my actions.
10:58Which I know is not an excuse and I need to pay for my mistakes.
11:03Basically, me and Shannon are going through a really bad breakup right now.
11:08Right.
11:09Um, because I am unable to be honest and unable to not steal and unable to not like, take advantage of people that are around me.
11:31And I took advantage of her a lot.
11:34She's been just like making all these Facebook posts about like, our breakup.
11:38And I've read, I've read some of them.
11:40She's also like, come after like my mom and stuff.
11:44And like, it's kind of one of those things where it's like, it's one thing to drag my name through the mud.
11:53You can take all my friends.
11:57It hurts.
11:58Yeah.
11:59But I just kind of lost it whenever.
12:05That would, that would be frustrating and hurtful.
12:08Right.
12:09Saying things like me and my mother's relationship is extremely inappropriate.
12:14But like implying that like, we want to have sex with each other and like, it's f***ing disgusting.
12:23Are you serious right now?
12:25Did that piss you off?
12:27Are you kidding me?
12:28Yeah.
12:29You have the f***ing audacity to say, to like, start publicly saying that the reason I date older women is because I have an Oedipus complex.
12:39You're only three years older than me.
12:41Chance's perspective lines up closely with what his mother also tells investigators.
12:46Obviously, there's not a reason to like, ever murder someone with this girl has been like, messing with him pretty significantly since they've split up.
12:54And they've only been split up for a week, but she was a problem.
12:58And I anticipated it getting worse before it got better with her, like, stalking him.
13:03She no longer had control of him.
13:06And I think that was making her crazy because she had a lot of control of him before.
13:13We were unable to locate the specific statements both Chance and his mother claimed Shannon posted online.
13:18However, we were able to locate one post made just five days before her death, shared in a Columbus-based Facebook group called Are We Dating the Same Guy?
13:27Where Shannon publicly warned others about Chance stating that he stole my prescription medication and money out of my bank accounts.
13:34And also claimed that the money was used on powdered drugs.
13:38Back in the interrogation room, Chance begins responding to the claims made about him.
13:43Did you feel betrayed?
13:44In that moment, I mean, like, I felt betrayed the whole breakup.
13:49Sure.
13:50She's been just like, telling everybody everything.
13:54Which I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
13:56I would do the same thing if somebody did the same thing that I did to her.
14:01But like, she told me that like, she wasn't gonna tell anybody about the theft and stuff.
14:07Because I paid her back the money.
14:10Right.
14:11That I took.
14:12And the only reason I took the money is because she took my debit cards because she didn't trust me with finances.
14:19I'm not trying to sit here and like, say, all of my actions have a rational and logical explanation.
14:29Because like, I don't want to be this way.
14:32I don't want to lie.
14:33Right.
14:34I mean, I don't know how to stop.
14:35I don't want to steal, but I don't know how to f***ing stop.
14:38Shannon thought that the stealing had everything to do with the addiction academy.
14:45When in reality, I go through bouts of unemployment because of the nature of my work.
14:51Mm-hmm.
14:52And so I don't know the money.
14:54And then Shannon gets f***ed.
14:56Or would get like, really, like, mean and say really nasty things and all that f***ed.
15:09And so in my mind, just take this money, give it right back to her as your money so that she shuts the f*** up and everything can be like, happy and peaceful.
15:24And then just replace the money before she finds out that it was taken.
15:28But for Chance, the theft and online posts weren't the only triggers.
15:32There was something else.
15:33She had started sleeping with Matthew, who she had, like, just recently started being friends with and told me not to worry about.
15:49Who's Matthew?
15:50Matthew is somebody that she was having some form of romantic relationship with.
15:56Okay.
15:57I didn't have a reaction to it, honestly.
15:59I was just happy that I had.
16:02What?
16:03I'm just happy.
16:04Like, I'm still happy.
16:05Like, I don't know.
16:06I'm not, like, happy about it.
16:08It's f***ed up and it's a horrible thing.
16:10But at the end of the day, like, I don't know.
16:18But jealousy and heartbreak were only part of the equation.
16:21As Chance opens up, he reveals a fractured state of mind that had already begun to crack.
16:26I have undiagnosed schizophrenia.
16:28Okay.
16:29I'm also, I have auditory and visual hallucinations.
16:33Um, I went to a music festival this past weekend and kept, like, seeing Shannon everywhere.
16:42And I thought that she was, like, following me around.
16:45Weren't you there with her at Legend Valley?
16:48No, not at Legend Valley.
16:49Okay.
16:50Just this past weekend at Wonder Bus.
16:52Okay.
16:53Yeah.
16:54Um, I was there and I was working at a festival.
16:57And she has known about every single move that I've made since we've broken up.
17:06Like, where I'm at, what I'm doing, what I'm hanging out with, everything.
17:11And so, like, I was getting really paranoid and frustrated because I thought that she was kind of, like, stalking me.
17:23I went directly to my mom's because I just wanted to tell my mom face to face.
17:28And I woke my mother up and I said I killed Shannon.
17:31How did your mom take it?
17:33Like, shook, just shaken.
17:38And then she kept just saying things like, you had your whole life, anything that Shannon would've, could've done to you, we could've worked through.
17:49Like, this was not worth it.
17:52Some dumb girl was not worth this.
17:55As Chance speaks of hallucinations and paranoia, his mother tells investigators she'd seen this unraveling begin long before the murder.
18:03He didn't have any medication for the last couple of weeks.
18:07He was a diagnosed bipolar disease for one thing.
18:11You said he hasn't had his medication.
18:13No, he was on vilified, he was on Wellbutrin.
18:18And he hadn't had it for the last couple of weeks.
18:21I can't tell you why he did what he did.
18:23Maybe he told you.
18:24He told me it was like hearing voices and all kinds of stuff like that.
18:29And told him, like, just love him so much.
18:33I love my sons so much.
18:36And I just can't believe this has happened.
18:40I'm really sorry.
18:41I felt so bad for her family too.
18:44And even though she was like doing whatever she could to mess with him so much, like, she didn't deserve that.
18:52Sometimes you can't control your kids, you know.
18:55I mean, he's an adult and he made decisions and that's not on you.
19:00That's on him, you know.
19:02At some point you gotta let him be adults.
19:04I have, but I've done that.
19:05I've played that card.
19:06I've done every single thing.
19:08I've tried to do it all.
19:10He's been in and out of counseling since he was like four or five years old.
19:14What his mother could only fear, Chance now begins to admit in chilling detail.
19:19I was just kind of driving around because I just didn't really know what to do.
19:23When was this?
19:24This was at about like 11 o'clock.
19:27Last night?
19:28Yeah.
19:29Okay.
19:30I was just driving around between like 11 and like midnight.
19:35Okay.
19:36And just kind of like trolling around.
19:38This is confirmed by Shannon's front porch camera as it captures Chance's car driving past around 11, 11 PM.
19:45And I thought to myself, I should check myself into a mental hospital because I'm not really all that safe.
19:55I actually just like drove by her house before I like went back to my mom's house and changed into clothing.
20:02And I saw a van and then I saw a person that looked like Matthew leave.
20:09And I just kind of didn't think of anything about it because I don't know what kind of vehicle he drove.
20:16So then you drive-
20:17I just drove by because at first like all I wanted to do is just like knock and talk.
20:24But like, I don't know.
20:29I know like this isn't, doesn't make any logical sense because knocking and getting the police called on you and getting a trespassing charge is far less severe than getting a murder charge.
20:42But I just like, I got to spend time with the vessel that was Shannon and I got to absorb her spirit and get some of her back.
20:52We have some video like from the neighbors, like cameras or video systems.
20:58And it looks like you had walked up to the house maybe with like a t-shirt on initially.
21:03Yeah.
21:04Does that ring a bell?
21:05Yeah.
21:06Around 11 57 PM, a neighbor living next door to Shannon's home catches a glimpse of Chance walking through her yard and across the driveway.
21:14Unknowingly capturing a critical moment just before the murder takes place.
21:18That was the time that I like drove past.
21:20So I was like-
21:21Sullivan.
21:22Sullivan was trying to like work up the nerve to like go up to the door.
21:26But like, didn't really know what to do.
21:29So I guess I like, I don't know why, but I was just like, why don't you just like, kind of just like, see if she's even like here.
21:41And so I peered into the garage window to see if her car was there.
21:44And then I tried to see if I could see what room she was in without her seeing me on her cameras and stuff.
21:54And then I didn't see anything.
21:57And then whenever I left, I was like, you need to just go home.
22:02And you need to just give your mom your car keys and you need to check yourself into a psych ward.
22:09So when you walked up to the house, 11, whenever, you hadn't planned on hurting her at that point?
22:17No, not at all.
22:18Had you seen Matt yet or?
22:21I saw Matt whenever I was actually just about to come around the corner to try to like knock on the door.
22:33Okay.
22:34Did he, did he see you?
22:36No, he was, he had his back to me and he was coming out of the door and then I got spooked and ran off.
22:42I had like this weird thing that was just like, well, if you want Shannon back and you can't get her back, you can like take your life force and then you'll be together forever.
23:00And so like, I went home and I changed my clothes in a whole black and I grabbed the knife and I went over to her house.
23:15And I approached the door, which I'm sure you'll see on her doorbell camera, ring camera at some point throughout your investigation.
23:27Okay.
23:28I twisted the door knob.
23:30She screamed, I will call the cops.
23:32And I slammed my door into the, my shoulder into the door two times.
23:37After the first time she said, are you kidding me?
23:40Because I think that she thought I was just being obnoxious and pounding on the door or something.
23:44Um, or honestly, I don't even know if she would, she knew it was me until I got into the house because I had a bandit on on my face.
23:51Um, whenever I was outside and then the second shove gave way and I didn't make a noise.
24:00I didn't say anything.
24:01I didn't do anything.
24:02I just, uh, started stabbing Shannon and she didn't even realize what was happening until I had stabbed her a couple of times.
24:11And she said, uh, she said, are you kidding me?
24:19What the chance?
24:20Stop.
24:21Wait, please stop.
24:23I'm dying.
24:26I love you.
24:28I love you.
24:29And then she didn't speak another word.
24:31I don't know how many times I stabbed her.
24:36I know it's a lot.
24:38I also know that I cut her throat to speed up the process.
24:44And I just remember looking at her and feeling like I was like taking on like her spirit, I guess.
24:56And like, I don't know, I felt less alone than I felt since her breakup in that moment.
25:03Shannon Hyatt suffered more than 30 stab wounds across her upper body, along with a deep slash to her throat.
25:09She had multiple defensive injuries, evidence that she fought to survive, but the horror didn't end there.
25:16For nearly three hours after her death, Chance remained inside the home.
25:20Doing things so unsettling, even investigators struggled to make sense of it.
25:25Well, I took her house keys and her phone after I killed her.
25:28Okay.
25:29I don't really know why.
25:32I don't have her password or anything.
25:33And she has like the thumbprint, so you can't like get into it.
25:37But like, I took the keys.
25:40I screwed a piece of plywood to the front doors to keep it closed.
25:46Why did you shut the front door like that?
25:49Um, to be completely honest with you, so her cats didn't get out.
25:54Yeah.
25:55Yeah, that's good.
25:56No, I mean...
25:58I think it sounds ridiculous, but that was a...
26:01You didn't want the cats to get out.
26:03That was a concern of mine.
26:05And I'm not gonna lie to you, there is a part of me that's very upset knowing that they slept together.
26:11Because the first thing that Shannon said whenever she got out of our relationship was,
26:16I need to be single for a while and really figure out my own...
26:19Right.
26:20And then I saw something that she wrote down saying,
26:23I feel like I'm really falling into the same patterns with Chance with Matt.
26:27And I don't know how to feel about it.
26:29Where did she write that down?
26:31It was in her notes on the phone.
26:33Okay.
26:34How did you get into her phone?
26:35It was her phone.
26:36After I killed her.
26:37Okay.
26:38So you...
26:39I'm on a full psycho stalker mode, dude.
26:42Huh?
26:43I'm gonna be completely blatantly honest with you.
26:45Yeah, that's why we're here.
26:46In the aftermath of the murder, Shannon's back porch camera captures chilling footage.
26:51At 2.04 AM, just six minutes after her screams are heard, Chance's shadow appears in the window,
26:57and for a brief moment, a blood-covered hand is visible.
27:01As shadow returns multiple times throughout the early morning hours, a silent presence inside the home, long after Shannon's final breath.
27:10Why are you moving her body at that point?
27:12Because the door is busted, and her feet are about a foot and a half, maybe, away from the door.
27:22Okay.
27:23And if I want to do any kind of going in and out of the front door, there's just a dead body right in blatant view.
27:31So I rotated her 180 degrees, went outside, smoked a couple cigarettes.
27:37When you say I went outside, did you out front?
27:39Yeah.
27:40Okay.
27:41Did you have sex with Shannon?
27:42Mm-hmm.
27:43Afterward?
27:44Mm-hmm.
27:45At that point, was she dead?
27:49Yeah.
27:50Did you feel aroused, like, looking at her?
27:54Not...
27:55Not by, like, her deadness, but, like, I was still very sexually attracted to Shannon.
28:06She was beautiful, right?
28:08Mm-hmm.
28:09So how long do you think that lasted?
28:13Oh, like, five or ten minutes.
28:16And did you wear a condom or...?
28:19Mm-hmm.
28:21It was another just acceptance of guilt.
28:24Yeah.
28:25Do you remember where you ejaculated?
28:26Was it inside of her?
28:27Yeah.
28:28Okay.
28:32How long do you think she had been dead at that point?
28:37I don't know.
28:38From here, chance lays bare a disturbing justification.
28:41One rooted in a delusional sense of power and a belief that Shannon was something to possess or consume.
28:48You mentioned earlier that if you took her life force, that you would feel closer to her.
28:53Mm-hmm.
28:54What does that mean exactly, like, as far as...?
28:58Well, it's kind of like a Native American belief of, like, absorbing the soul whenever you kill an animal.
29:07Okay.
29:08And, like...
29:09I don't know.
29:10Like, you're absorbing it and, like...
29:13I don't know.
29:14I kind of...
29:15I...
29:16Uh...
29:17Oftentimes, whenever I'm experiencing episodes of psychosis, I think that I'm a god.
29:25Okay.
29:26And will kind of view people as, like, just kind of things.
29:36I've never been violent to this extreme before.
29:41But...
29:42I definitely just, like, well, if I'm God, and I take away your free will, and I release your spirit, I take your spirit back.
29:53Okay.
29:54And, I mean, I still feel like that.
29:56So, are you, like, as we speak right now, how are you feeling about, like, our interactions?
30:02Do you...
30:03Are you feeling like you're a god right now?
30:05I mean, yeah.
30:06And we're, like, objects in front of you?
30:10I mean, you're not necessarily objects.
30:12You are people of authority, and I am paying the price for, like, human laws and stuff like that, because I am in a human vessel.
30:28But, like, yeah, like, um, definitely, like, a god, and, like, can make things happen.
30:41What's the tattoo stand for?
30:43It's the OM symbol.
30:44It represents the sound frequency.
30:47It's been recorded and picked up throughout the entirety of the, you know, and explored the universe.
30:54Mm-hmm.
30:55It's often referred to as the god, uh, frequency.
30:59It's just kind of a religious representation kind of thing.
31:05Next, Chance is asked to confront the weight of his actions.
31:08Do you feel bad, or do you just...
31:10I feel guilty for taking away, taking Shannon away from the people that love her.
31:22And I know that a lot of people are gonna miss her.
31:27I do feel guilty about that.
31:29Um, processing emotion is something that I've always really struggled with.
31:33Okay.
31:34Um, ever since I was a kid.
31:36Like, I'm more of an analyze emotion rather than, like, feel emotion.
31:41I'm losing everybody that has ever cared about me to this relationship.
31:49And I felt really alone.
31:51I wanted Shannon back.
31:53And now I have her back.
31:56But I also wanted to take something away from her.
32:03But I had absolutely nothing to take away.
32:08And accept her life.
32:11And so I did it.
32:13I stabbed her over and over and over again until she couldn't speak and was making weird raspy sounds.
32:22And then I slit her throat open.
32:24As the interview nears its end, Chance offers his final thoughts of justice, remorse, and the pain he's caused Shannon's family.
32:31I appreciate you sharing with me what happened.
32:34So, at least her parents have a little bit of peace to know that the person responsible is in custody, right?
32:44No.
32:45I'm a very eye for an eye type of person.
32:48I think that the only justice would have been if I was dead, too.
32:51With all due respect, I'm a dumb s*** and a murderer, but I'm not somebody that runs away from my consequences.
33:05In your experience, do the parents of the victims even really hear anything?
33:12I think this is all going to be out there.
33:15The trial, everything else, they're going to know.
33:18Right now, I think they would like to know how you feel about what happened.
33:25I want you to tell them that Shannon didn't deserve to be a victim of my shortcomings and mental illnesses.
33:41Chance Donahoe was indicted on aggravated murder, murder and abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence.
33:47According to new sources, he accepted a plea deal and pled guilty on August 8, 2024, to aggravated murder and abuse of a corpse, and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 31 years.
34:00He's currently serving his sentence at Pickaway Correctional Institution in Ohio.
34:04Shannon was deeply involved in the local music scene, and spent much of her free time raising money to spay and neuter stray cats.
34:11A memorial concert was held in her honor, with proceeds going to support her family during their time of loss.
34:18I love you.
