Blake Deven’s death​

The narrative states that an interview conducted with a former member of the household revealed that in late 2017, Blake Deven's health began to fail. "After being exposed to isolation, starvation, physical, mental and emotional torture for weeks and months at a time, he became lethargic and eventually went unconscious." The narrative continues, "Even after repeated please for help from his siblings, Avantae Deven refused to call an ambulance." Blake Deven died in the home soon afterwards.

London Deven’s death​

In 2023, the family moved to a home on Berriedale Drive.
The documents state Avantae Deven admitted to a former household member that she lied. The documents state London Deven was “not in a mental institution and that she had a seizure and died while in the home on Berriedale Drive and that she needed help getting rid of evidence of that incident.”
According to the documents, Avantae Deven used the fact that the person had helped dispose of Blake Deven to have the former household member in disposing of evidence and cover up London Deven’s death.

….Avantae Deven removed carpet, flooring and other building material along with painting and repainting surfaces within the home to erase incriminating evidence of what happened to London Deven.
According to the documents, Avantae Deven told the former household member to take the items “to a secluded location and burn them.”

Video footage from an area Walmart showed Avantae Deven and two adopted children purchasing a red cooler, according to the arrest documents. The documents allege London Deven’s remains were found inside the cooler.

“ ... I need you to talk to me because I have something to tell you,” the person said in the call.
NM said he and the caller were having a dispute unrelated to the Devens, and he recorded the call to use as evidence against them.

Well that certainly reframes it. If they were having a personal dispute, could this have been a threat? JMO of course but I can't see a confession of this sort of crime being dropped into the middle of an argument because of trust or guilt, or to ask for external help. (Plus recording the confession 'to use as evidence against [the caller]' seems cruel if it WAS a cry for help...)

I knew about the recorded phone call with unnamed person who was forced to assist AD, but this is the first I had heard that Nathan Mitchell "forgot" he recorded a confession that contained information about a murder and dismemberment? I'm sorry, what? How does one simply filed that away mentally and forget it??

I wish I could find more recent news.
