Elliot Lash Took A Flying Leap

December 9, 2009 at 10:01 am by Dakota Valkyrie

Nashville, TN - Elliot Lash, 26, was working as a pediatric nurse for a doctor in Nashville. Last Thursday, he was in his 6th day on the job when he put down his stethoscope, walked off, and jumped off of the four-story building’s parking deck. Written on Lash’s hand was the name and phone number of a Murfreesboro detective. Lash was under investigation for child sexual abuse and about to be arrested. It seems his wife had started up his computer one day and found some things that disturbed her. Mrs. Lash called the cops. On the computer were hundreds of images and video of kids performing sexual acts. Homemade DVDs were also found. Some of the videos were of Lash and a child. According to the arrest warrant, one video showed Lash removing a child’s pants and spanking and rubbing the child’s behind for approximately 20 minutes. Police are still sorting it all out to determine who all the victims may be and if some of it was downloaded off the internet. I’m going to guess that at least some of the images and video included his own kids. Lash had fathered four kids and adopted two. Mrs. Lash reported that their marriage had been troubled for the past 6 years. He was still in training at the clinic where he worked so had not had access to children. I wonder if Lash jumped to escape the cops or his wife. I know if he was my husband, he would have been too dead to jump.

I was going to post a video to this, but it wouldn’t let me. But in it, you can see where the kid whose ass he spanked and rubbed was 12-years-old. Dunno why that makes everything even creepier for me, but it does.
VelvetGlove

What a nightmare. I can’t imagine that there’s too many other things to find out about your husband that could be worse than this. And if he did molest his own kids…ugh. His poor wife. I hope that she never has to see all the video evidence, particularly if it’s any of their own children on the DVDs.

Elliot Lash, enjoy the burning, hell’s been awaiting!!

And he was only 26 years old. Can you imagine how many innocent victims have been saved from this prick because his wife turned him in. Kudos to her!

I know if he was my husband, he would have been too dead to jump

Right on…..my phone call to the police would’ve gone something like this:
“Hello, I just found a shitload of kiddie porn on my husband’s computer…..and then I killed him. The end.”

I’ll jump on the wagon as well….terrific write up Dakota!

Just to let you know his wife is a Evil bipolar women with Many Mental Issues besides her severe bipolar disorder. Mental Illness runs in her family. Why would you believe this crazy women who has admitted she has been in an unhappy marriage for 6 years? I am a family member & know that Elliot is a good person with an Clean Record.

Here are the facts from the Police and Hospital:

Here is what his work stated
“Saint Thomas Health Services, which owns Saint Thomas Hospital and Middle Tennessee Medical Center.

“To the best of our knowledge, he was never alone and never unsupervised in a patient room,” Grayson said. “We hope that … quashes any nervousness about anyone thinking he committed any impropriety here.”

Grayson added that the medical practice hired Lash because he had no marks on his criminal background, he passed a drug screen and he had good references

“His (criminal) background was completely negative (for any charges),” Grayson said & he was 26 years old

“Mr. Lash became an employee of (the St. Thomas Medical Group) on November 23, 2009, was still in training, and in the short time we knew him was a very personable co-worker,”

Lash had been working at Medical Plaza West for just six days. His employer said he was still job shadowing, was never unsupervised and had no opportunity to take any pictures of children.

So let me paraphrase this for you : he was 26 years old, Completely Clean Police & Drug record, he was never alone or unsupervised in a child’s room at his work, there was No opportunity to take any pictures. Yet, his wife who is on TONS of Psychiatric medication, & who admits shes in an unhappy marriage for 6 years, all of a sudden claims she finds something on him & reports him to the police. But she has been living with him for years, but decides to create a False issue with the Police because Elliot told her to leave the house 2 weeks ago because he couldn’t take her Crazy behavior anymore.

But her lying to the Police and being devious backfired, because he committed suicide. She has to live with this Guilt now for the rest of her life. Lets think about his poor children!

People are so quick to Judge someone without Proof!

By The Way, They Have 6 kids that’s a lot of Social Security Money for HER. Do you think that’s what she Wanted All Along?

Elliotsinnocent – first, I gotta say, I love the random capitalization on words such as Crazy, Clean Record, and Many Mental Issues – that’s awesome.

Second, would you be so kind as to explain the following quote from the news article?

According to the arrest warrant, one video showed Lash removing a child’s pants and spanking and rubbing the child’s behind for approximately 20 minutes.

Thank you.

Not for nothing, but this is the most backwoods, ignorant logic that I have ever heard. He killed himself to get at her, when SHE is the one who is off her rocker? Please, go back to the batting cage before you swing that shit here…

BTW, thanks for your comments…

backlash your a quack! yea that so called video of him spanking a kids butt that has yet to be released was all hearsay by his crazy wife which was exactly what was put on a search warrant! let me ask you something since you seem to know him better then me even though your not at all related to him..how much money will she get paid by the government for social security for having 6 kids and 4 of the kids are 5 years old or younger..and she would get paid how much per month per kid? also why dont you tell me the link to him doing these horrible acts that you state there are??
http://www.dreamindemon.com Jaded

also why dont you tell me the link to him doing these horrible acts that you state there are??

There are three source links listed at the end of the story….click ‘em.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Jaded

From the first source link –

Detectives did a thorough search of Lash’s Murfreesboro home where he lived alone. Detective Tommy Roberts confiscated three computers, several homemade DVDs showing partially naked children and a stack of pornography.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Jaded

Second source link –

“On the three computers were hundreds of images and video of children performing sexual acts and just pictures of children naked.”

Are you seeing a pattern here??
mommacrazy30

..how much money will she get paid by the government for social security for having 6 kids and 4 of the kids are 5 years old or younger..and she would get paid how much per month per kid? also why dont you tell me the link to him doing these horrible acts that you state there are??

so she pushed him off the building? she had a chip inplanted into his brain that reacted when he started his shift? yeah, she may make some dough off his death…but how the hell did SHE make HIM molest children and then decide to jump off a building. gawddamn, that woman gonna need every penny coming to her.

backlash your a quack! yea that so called video of him spanking a kids butt that has yet to be released was all hearsay by his crazy wife which was exactly what was put on a search warrant!

Amazingly enough, child porn videos aren’t released to the public. Considering they’re illegal, and all.

backlash your a quack!

heheheeeee…..

let me ask you something since you seem to know him better then me even though your not at all related to him..how much money will she get paid by the government for social security for having 6 kids and 4 of the kids are 5 years old or younger

So, let me get this straight. Because you knew him better than I did, (because you are family), you want me to figure out the social security tables for you? Please, reread my translation and let me know if I’m missing something.

Oh right, I’m the one who’s a, what was it you said, oh yeah, quack.

The video reportedly showed Elliot Lash inappropriately touching a child, whose age was redacted in a police report, according to the police report. The child was shown on the camera naked

Elliotect..yada…this was from page one of what YOU copied from page 2

all this bs.

. Lets think about his poor children!

Yeah, lets think about his poor children! My God I hope they were spared from this sicko!! I cant even say how horrible I feel for the poor child/children that wasn’t.

Just so im clear about this elliotsinnocent, Since
“His (criminal) background was completely negative (for any charges),” and he was capable of passing a drug screen, oh and he had good refrences, that he couldn’t possibly be guilty… right?
whisperswing

So since videos and pics dont lie,Am I to assume your (elliotsinnocent) saying that she was crazy enough to photo shop 3 computers full of pics and videos showing him just to set him so she could claim all his social security money??:?

Wow she must be the “debil” mamma,dont cha just hate those people that associate babies with money winfalls? I can see her right now all preggoed up non stop over last decade or so ,popping them out and then saying” ah fuck it what the hell Ill have another one get another couple bucks after I make him kill himself”.Then hears rumor that Social Security might get a raise so decides “hell yeah one m aore,then maybe I can but me a car after I get him to commit suicide”. “Ellotsinnocent” thats the dumbest thing i have ever seen or heard and Ive seen alot on these pages.

Less than halfway through the material, Murfreesboro Police Officer Jason Harding knew, “I had watched enough to know that a detective was needed from that point.”
Detective Roberts took over the investigation at that point. During his investigation he confiscated three computers belonging to Elliot Lash.
“Investigators found hundreds of images and video on the three computers,”

All of the above quote is in the last source listed above!!
It is totally incredulous of elliotsinnocent to post that Elliots wife caused him to leap to his death, helluva way to go, expecting us, the supersmart folks that we are, to believe it! Elliot brought all his troubles and death upon himself, by being a creepy pedo, got caught and couldn’t face the consequences. Have you wondered, elliotsinnocent, why Elliot chose to become a pediatric nurse? Just think of all the children (sick ones,at that) he would’ve had access to, I am glad he is burning in hell………..
maureen

For the record Ms. Lash is not going to get some windfall for her family from social security. There’s a maximum amount survivor dependents and their mother can collect and that usually happens after 2 kids. So, they’ll either get just the benefit for the 2 kids and the mother or the whole family will be entitled to smaller amounts to add up to the maximum.
I don’t buy the whole crazy wife argument. There seems to be other evidence besides her words and the suicide makes him look guilty as sin. If she really was crazy I think he’d be a victim of murder.

For the record people, we are not related.
sugarglider

I’m just sorry he didn’t kill himself sooner.
http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/ Dakota Valkyrie

LOL@backlash not related.

I assume he knew she was supposedly a crazy bitch. It makes me think even LESS of him (if that’s possible). He took the COWARDS way out and left those kids with a crazy lady? If he was any type of innocent, he should have stood up and fought the charges.

I am ever so glad that chickens can’t fly.
optilyric

I am ever so glad that chickens can’t fly.

Well, they CAN fly, just not very far.

As for elliotsinnocent, what you’re saying makes zero sense at all. This is a man who, upon police removing three computers from his home, found a LOT of kiddie porn (we’re not talking the amount of the young man on here last week arrested for possessing ONE piece of child pornography that he deleted from his computer. your family member had a LOT, not to mention a video of himself taking the pants off a child). You claim that he was squeaky clean and his “Crazy” wife set him up? I’m not buying it. If his wife was “Crazy” and he’d asked her to leave because of her “Crazy” behavior, your family member is an even bigger monster than I originally thought. What kind of asshole would leave six of his children with a “Crazy” woman to raise them? What kind of a father would leave his children to fend for themselves with the kind of sick lunatic you claim his wife is? Anyone capable of that kind of “every man for himself, I’m out of here, good luck kids! Daddy is OUT OF HERE!!” mentality is sick.

Not to mention that he had written on his hand the name and phone number of the investigator in charge of his case. Seems like he made the choice to off himself quickly, not face the music ahead of him and wanted to give the person or people who found him the reason why he chose to do it.

I’m sorry for your loss of a family member, but it seems that your time might be better spent focusing on the children that he left behind and trying to get them out of the hands of such a “Crazy” mother than singing the praises of your kiddie diddling family member on here.

i went to school with Elliot. he worked at ‘picture people’ for quite some time.
this whole thing is just disgusting. i always knew he was kind of strange, but i had no idea he could do such a thing…..

Did Elliot have access to children, then, too?
dragonfli

The wife probably was “crazy” having to live with a lying husband that I am sure manipulated everything to keep his pedophilia in the dark, but what goes on in the dark always comes out in the light!

I just had to register to comment on this…because it really irks me that the victims are always blamed in some way or another! And it just isn’t right when it only serves to support another’s denial and avoidance of their own anguish of actual reality….actually staring them in the face!

The victims are alreay wounded deeply, and then are subjected to secondary wounding, which is just as horrible!! if not more so!

Thanks for lettine me speak!

I love how one of their “facts” starts off with “To the best of our knowledge…”

Which doesn't mean he didn't do it. It is basically damage control by their P.R. Department.

I personally don't care if she is bat-shit crazy. If I were innocent and accused of something like this, my first reaction wouldn't be to do an asphalt swan dive.

I know this is off topic and I would like to comment on the story as well but I wanted to tell you that for some reason it makes me smile when you put U's in words that Americans typically don't… Like “favour” and such. I don't know why but it makes me happy.

Now, to everyone else defending this piece of shit, why is it then, that there is video evidence of this coward molesting children if he is innocent? I'm pretty sure those weren't just doctored to make him look like he's doing those things when he's not. Both of you assholes need to do exactly what Eracsurfer said below. Do everyone a favor (favour!!) indeed.
Parrot Toes (kathybird)

I'm glad to put a smile on your face I do it for a few reasons. 1) It's the PROPER Canadian way to spell them. 2) For some reason, a LOT of Canadians don't do it themselves. Being Americanized I guess. I just don't want it to be lost. 3) My parents are American and it's my way to be rebellious towards them even though I've groweded all up
WriterOnFire

I love it when asstrolls with a cause come here & wake up old FP posts. It always makes my day

Anyway, I found this very interesting interview with his wife where she tells her side of the story. It's very long but very also thorough & definitely worth the read if you have the time.

“But perhaps most important to Sheri, Elliot Lash was the second chance she thought she'd never have. When she was a 25-year-old divorcee with two young boys, Lash was her 19-year-old knight in shining armor. He had been so romantic. He loved her boys, even though they weren't his, and he later legally adopted them as his own.”

“But she could never quite suspend her own suspicions. Lash told her he'd been working on a website lately for a little extra money. He always kept his computer locked up tight, for reasons she knew well by now. Today, though, for whatever reason, the computer was not locked. Sheri wanted to know what he was working on. She found a video file on his website and clicked play.”

“Sheri fast-forwarded. Now the two were lying down. Now Lash was caressing the boy. Now the child's pants were down. On the computer screen, Lash rubbed and slapped the boy's naked bottom. He leered directly into the camera, looking out into his wife's eyes.”

“Even stranger was the fact that he kept his computer locked up tightly while he was at work. She couldn't even get on it to check her email. The man she loved, who'd been so emotionally accessible, was now distant, secretive.

Then again, she told herself, she was only now truly getting to know Lash. Much of their relationship up to this point had taken place over the phone, on the computer or in letters. They were opposites in many ways. She was quiet and slow to trust, whereas he was talkative — the kind of guy who'd never met a stranger. He was also the kind of guy who had a hundred friendly acquaintances, but few real friends. Most of his human connections were online.”

“Sheri didn't believe him. With his back against the wall, Lash decided to prove he wasn't lying. Reluctantly, he told her he didn't want to hide anymore — and with that, he logged into a Yahoo! chat room that was, quite literally, a world unto itself.

There were usually 20 people in a single room — a community. In this instance, it was a ranch. Each inhabitant cultivated a character. Some were parents. Others pretended to be children. Lash, of course, was usually a doctor. They went about mundane chores, carrying out cyber-lives through their fingertips. The banality of it all only fed the eroticized act around which the fantasy revolved — the spanking of children.”

“Her home life, far from getting better, got worse. The panic attacks brought on by her pregnancy were crushing. She was sure that the schizophrenia that had plagued her grandmother was now poisoning her mind.

The truth was far more complicated. Sheri had recently switched from Wellbutrin to Zoloft, a drug used to treat major depression and panic attacks. Meanwhile, she'd recently quit taking hydrocodone — to which she'd developed an incredible resistance — after fixing some persistent dental problems. Watching her husband grow ever more distant, she felt less and less able to cope.

Finally, after one particularly bad day, she closed the garage door and climbed into her van. She turned the ignition.

Sheri composed letters to her children, while the engine droned its lulling white noise. Fumes slowly filled the enclosed space. By the time Lash found her, she was nearly unconscious.

After that, Sheri sought counseling. In addition, the Zoloft began to take effect. As her anxiety subsided, so did her anxieties. She believed that her suspicions were nothing but a byproduct of a troubled mind, which was now soothed by a psychotropic salve. Perhaps she was making “mountains out of molehills” over the chat rooms. After all, Lash told her she was a completely different person now.”

“Sheri decided to do the one thing she could rely upon as a lie detector: check his computer. The video she found this time — apparent rape footage — was the worst yet. The time stamp was recent. The computer was relatively new. This was not something he'd forgotten to delete when he was in Great Lakes.

“You're a pedophile,” she told him.

Lash sobbed and begged on his knees. He had no idea how it had gotten onto his computer. He promised he'd never do something like that. It was disgusting. He'd never hurt their children — and if he ever did, he said ominously, he'd kill himself before he'd ever go to prison.”

“Even so, Sheri still loves Elliot Lash. She can't help it. Her Facebook page is filled with almost daily pronouncements of her devotion. But now everything she wants to believe about her husband, needs to believe, is beyond her grasp.

“I mourn for the man I loved and adored,” Sheri Lash says, as condensation clouds the pickup's windows. “Yet I'm angry because of what he became.

“And then I wonder: Is it something he became, or was he really that all along?”

Damn a whole month for you to troll your ass back here and bring this thread back up?

Go away already.

Your buddy is compost, and now serves a useful purpose. Which is much more than he ever did in life.

He was not! You shut up!

(don't make me bring out my inner child……..oh, too late.)
Parrot Toes (kathybird)

(I love arguing with you. It's so easy, no thinking involved.)

Will you stop swearing. You sound like a child and swearing is just not appropriate for children. Now go get your crayons and colour your mom a pretty picture.

He was a really REALLY bad man. You shut up!

HOLY SHIT! You've posted about a dozen posts on this thread so far today and this is the first one that is an actual sentence. Good for you. Now you just need to capitalize and use a bit of grammar and you might be on the same level as most of us.

Now, PT, it's cheating to have a battle of wits with an unarmed troll.
You know that ;D

Well he did us all a favor & the system too. We don't have to kill him nor will he get what he deserves in jail from Bubba but at least we won't spend money on his ass… His wife should not retrieve the body from the county.

The 100s of child porn images prove that he was NOT a good man. FUCK THAT. Sorry about your brain damage! I'm so glad he killed himself. And YAY to Mrs. Lash for turning his disgusting pig ass in.
