00:00:35,862 --> 00:00:37,585
Hi, I'm Jared, The Subway Guy,

2
00:00:37,586 --> 00:00:38,862
and this is my story.

3
00:00:39,413 --> 00:00:40,757
Please welcome Jared

4
00:00:40,758 --> 00:00:44,274
who-lost-245-pounds-eating-
Subway-sandwiches Fogle.

5
00:00:44,275 --> 00:00:46,000
<i>Remember Jared from Subway?</i>

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,585
<i>He's inspired a lot of people.</i>

7
00:00:49,586 --> 00:00:52,378
Give it up
for Jared from Subway.

8
00:00:54,448 --> 00:00:59,136
<i>When we met him, I had
this image in my head of who he was.</i>

9
00:00:59,137 --> 00:01:01,964
He, like, helps children
all around the world and...

10
00:01:01,965 --> 00:01:03,619
<i>He is someone
you could look up to.</i>

11
00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:07,137
You've obviously been an inspiration
to many people and to these kiddos.

12
00:01:09,689 --> 00:01:15,172
All of those things are the
complete opposite of who he truly is,

13
00:01:15,931 --> 00:01:19,309
and that is a monster.

14
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:21,862
<i>We were two
of Jared Fogel's 14 victims.</i>

15
00:01:25,241 --> 00:01:28,724
<i>The story you are
about to hear sounds crazy.</i>

16
00:01:29,793 --> 00:01:32,517
But I can promise
you, it is all true.

17
00:01:34,137 --> 00:01:39,619
<i>As a journalist, I came to know
Jared Fogle better than anyone.</i>

18
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:44,447
Jared used his position as a
celebrity to gain the trust of children.

19
00:01:44,448 --> 00:01:46,792
And these kids know me
as Jared, The Subway Guy.

20
00:01:46,793 --> 00:01:48,964
I already had their attention.

21
00:01:48,965 --> 00:01:52,172
<i>I was sure that
he was an active pedophile.</i>

22
00:01:53,068 --> 00:01:55,481
<i>And the public were at risk.</i>

23
00:01:55,482 --> 00:02:00,172
<i>And that's when I became an
undercover asset for the FBI.</i>

24
00:02:09,034 --> 00:02:12,793
<i>Conversations with
Jared just got darker and darker.</i>

25
00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:24,654
He made me feel so
much hatred towards him.

26
00:02:24,655 --> 00:02:27,861
I couldn't even believe
what was happening to me.

27
00:02:27,862 --> 00:02:30,067
<i>We were being watched 24/7.</i>

28
00:02:30,068 --> 00:02:35,343
I just knew things were just going
to keep getting worse and worse.

29
00:02:35,344 --> 00:02:37,378
<i>There wasn't much
I could do about that.</i>

30
00:02:37,379 --> 00:02:38,551
<i>I was a child.</i>

31
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,620
Fear is what kept
us quiet for so long.

32
00:02:48,896 --> 00:02:53,205
Rochelle said, "Jared from
Subway wants to see pictures

33
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:56,585
of my kids naked, and if I
don't, he's going to kill me."

34
00:02:56,586 --> 00:02:58,862
<i>I let this
monster into our lives.</i>

35
00:03:00,689 --> 00:03:01,896
<i>I was terrified.</i>

36
00:03:02,655 --> 00:03:05,137
But he needed to be stopped.

37
00:03:33,103 --> 00:03:35,654
<i>I went to middle
school, high school,</i>

38
00:03:35,655 --> 00:03:40,964
<i>and I also went to two years of
college with Jared when he was young.</i>

39
00:03:40,965 --> 00:03:45,965
<i>Jared Fogle was shy, very
nerdy, smart, and a bit of a loner,</i>

40
00:03:47,241 --> 00:03:49,000
probably because
he was an outcast.

41
00:03:52,517 --> 00:03:56,550
<i>He started gaining weight really
young, sixth, seventh and eighth grade.</i>

42
00:03:56,551 --> 00:04:00,240
<i>Jared was probably the
heaviest person in middle school,</i>

43
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:05,689
<i>and that includes adults too and I think it
was probably between 250 and 300 pounds.</i>

44
00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:09,930
<i>I just remember that by the
time we got to high school,</i>

45
00:04:09,931 --> 00:04:11,275
<i>he was morbidly obese.</i>

46
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:14,378
For Jared to have that
much weight on him,

47
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:17,655
it's like he had a
target on his back.

48
00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:21,826
<i>For lack of better words,</i>

49
00:04:21,827 --> 00:04:23,481
<i>you couldn't miss him,</i>

50
00:04:23,482 --> 00:04:26,274
<i>you know. I don't know.</i>

51
00:04:26,275 --> 00:04:28,205
I don't want to get
myself in trouble,

52
00:04:28,206 --> 00:04:29,757
but, you know.

53
00:04:29,758 --> 00:04:32,000
But, yeah, I was... It
was hard... hard to miss.

54
00:04:33,034 --> 00:04:35,586
And you could tell that he knew.

55
00:04:37,482 --> 00:04:40,413
<i>I'd be willing to bet that
he went home crying a lot.</i>

56
00:04:41,724 --> 00:04:45,033
It's almost like his childhood
was stolen from him because

57
00:04:45,034 --> 00:04:46,792
every day was kind of a battle.

58
00:04:46,793 --> 00:04:49,102
<i>Where is he going
to sit for lunch?</i>

59
00:04:49,103 --> 00:04:51,703
<i>Would you have
sat next to Jared in the dining hall?</i>

60
00:04:51,827 --> 00:04:53,723
No.

61
00:04:53,724 --> 00:04:55,758
No, that would have
been social suicide.

62
00:04:57,206 --> 00:04:58,793
<i>I never saw him with anybody.</i>

63
00:05:02,551 --> 00:05:07,034
<i>I can only imagine how lonely
it was for Jared and just scary.</i>

64
00:05:08,758 --> 00:05:11,171
<i>I think every doctor
would agree that a lot of your</i>

65
00:05:11,172 --> 00:05:13,895
<i>early years mold
you into who you are.</i>

66
00:05:13,896 --> 00:05:15,930
<i>If you have a
lot of insecurities</i>

67
00:05:15,931 --> 00:05:18,379
<i>and a lot of people
are ripping on those</i>

68
00:05:19,241 --> 00:05:21,412
all the time when
you're a child,

69
00:05:21,413 --> 00:05:27,136
I mean, that's got to mess with
you in all kinds of different ways.

70
00:05:27,137 --> 00:05:31,412
<i>I think the weight was a
symptom of him checking out of life.</i>

71
00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:33,619
He kept just finding
friendship in food.

72
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:35,619
He references that in
the book and everything.

73
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:38,688
<i>"I overate to compensate
for my social awkwardness.</i>

74
00:05:38,689 --> 00:05:41,930
I overate because I just
plain love the taste of food.

75
00:05:41,931 --> 00:05:45,136
But as I grew fatter and
fatter, I felt more isolated.

76
00:05:45,137 --> 00:05:47,999
Eventually, I felt that I
didn't have any real friends

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,310
in the world except
for one, food."

78
00:05:52,379 --> 00:05:56,930
He just let it take hold
of him and he was going to die

79
00:05:56,931 --> 00:05:59,206
young if he didn't
get that weight off.

80
00:06:11,206 --> 00:06:15,274
<i>In 1999, I was in a
Nutrition class sitting next to a guy</i>

81
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:18,033
that I went to high school
with. The instructor ended up

82
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:20,274
passing around the
Indiana Daily student.

83
00:06:20,275 --> 00:06:22,516
<i>And when it got to
the high school friend</i>

84
00:06:22,517 --> 00:06:25,378
that I was sitting with, he
looks at it and he hits me

85
00:06:25,379 --> 00:06:28,723
on the shoulder and says,
"Katie, oh my gosh, it's Jared Fogle.

86
00:06:28,724 --> 00:06:30,102
Look at this."

87
00:06:30,103 --> 00:06:36,413
<i>And we could not believe
it because Jared was thin.</i>

88
00:06:38,896 --> 00:06:40,240
<i>With the weight
loss and everything,</i>

89
00:06:40,241 --> 00:06:42,413
Jared became a local
celebrity on campus.

90
00:06:43,034 --> 00:06:44,241
It was crazy.

91
00:06:46,862 --> 00:06:51,067
<i>I don't think I'd ever read
a story like the Jared Fogle story.</i>

92
00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:54,205
<i>Ryan Coleman's article,
the Indiana Daily Student,</i>

93
00:06:54,206 --> 00:06:56,033
<i>was called "From Thick to Thin."</i>

94
00:06:56,034 --> 00:06:58,793
<i>So that right there
was an attention-getter.</i>

95
00:07:00,793 --> 00:07:07,343
To think that he lost 245
pounds in less than a year, um,

96
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:08,792
is astonishing, really.

97
00:07:08,793 --> 00:07:12,896
And he did it with the strangest
darn diet you've ever thought of.

98
00:07:14,862 --> 00:07:19,654
<i>The way Jared lost his weight
was the compelling factor.</i>

99
00:07:19,655 --> 00:07:25,343
<i>He lost weight eating
subway sandwiches every day.</i>

100
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:30,343
<i>I believe Jared's formula was a
small turkey sub in the afternoon</i>

101
00:07:30,344 --> 00:07:32,551
<i>and then a veggie
delight for the evening.</i>

102
00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:38,412
Then I got word, a film
crew from Subway was going

103
00:07:38,413 --> 00:07:41,550
to come testing
for a commercial.

104
00:07:41,551 --> 00:07:45,241
<i>So being a journalist, I just
thought I got to do this story.</i>

105
00:07:46,862 --> 00:07:53,861
I first interviewed him at his
apartment and he was a little nervous,

106
00:07:53,862 --> 00:07:56,724
<i>but he just seemed
like a decent fellow.</i>

107
00:07:58,586 --> 00:08:02,793
<i>He was raised by a classic,
typical family that had values.</i>

108
00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:06,585
<i>Younger brother, younger sister.</i>

109
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:08,205
<i>His mother was a teacher.</i>

110
00:08:08,206 --> 00:08:10,067
<i>His father was a doctor.</i>

111
00:08:10,068 --> 00:08:12,448
<i>He had a good upbringing,
as far as I can tell.</i>

112
00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:18,655
But Jared just basically
talked about how...

113
00:08:20,517 --> 00:08:22,895
how depressing his
life had been, really.

114
00:08:22,896 --> 00:08:25,757
<i>The more weight he gained,
the more awkward he felt</i>

115
00:08:25,758 --> 00:08:27,999
<i>and the more
reclusive he became.</i>

116
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,136
<i>So I think Jared
was very appreciative</i>

117
00:08:31,137 --> 00:08:33,724
<i>of what the Subway
diet did for him.</i>

118
00:08:35,137 --> 00:08:36,930
<i>He wasn't this outcast anymore.</i>

119
00:08:36,931 --> 00:08:39,000
<i>He wasn't 'The Elephant Man.'</i>

120
00:08:41,172 --> 00:08:44,447
<i>And he went on
to get a girlfriend</i>

121
00:08:44,448 --> 00:08:46,517
<i>and he never envisioned that.</i>

122
00:08:47,655 --> 00:08:50,412
I was happy for him to
see that he had a girlfriend

123
00:08:50,413 --> 00:08:52,067
and then to see that
he was getting married.

124
00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:55,482
And I thought, you know,
he'd turned everything around.

125
00:08:58,275 --> 00:08:59,999
<i>Here is Jared Fogle.</i>

126
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,688
<i>You may have seen him
on the news or a talk show.</i>

127
00:09:02,689 --> 00:09:06,171
<i>He was inspired by Subway's
great-tasting sandwiches.</i>

128
00:09:06,172 --> 00:09:09,586
<i>Jared believes in an active
lifestyle, including lots of walking.</i>

129
00:09:10,241 --> 00:09:11,550
- Hey, Jared.
- Hey, guys.

130
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:14,343
<i>I remember it
was pretty stiff, but I think</i>

131
00:09:14,344 --> 00:09:17,274
<i>he was endearing just
because he wasn't polished.</i>

132
00:09:17,275 --> 00:09:19,447
<i>And you can tell that
he wasn't an actor.</i>

133
00:09:19,448 --> 00:09:20,758
<i>Food for thought.</i>

134
00:09:22,241 --> 00:09:25,688
When I first saw a commercial for
Subway, it was Jared Fogle on there.

135
00:09:25,689 --> 00:09:27,826
I could not believe it.

136
00:09:27,827 --> 00:09:32,861
<i>To have a national
Subway commercial</i>

137
00:09:32,862 --> 00:09:35,688
<i>and you are the
main person in it,</i>

138
00:09:35,689 --> 00:09:39,757
and then they're doing their
branding around you, Jared Fogle,

139
00:09:39,758 --> 00:09:43,757
like, nobody could have ever
predicted this in a million years.

140
00:09:43,758 --> 00:09:46,171
<i>He's on
the road 200 days a year,</i>

141
00:09:46,172 --> 00:09:48,861
<i>sharing his weight
loss story for Subway.</i>

142
00:09:48,862 --> 00:09:50,792
<i>He quickly became an inspiration</i>

143
00:09:50,793 --> 00:09:54,240
<i>and a successful
pitchman for the company.</i>

144
00:09:54,241 --> 00:09:58,447
A regular guy who was
morbidly obese is suddenly going

145
00:09:58,448 --> 00:10:01,999
to be the spokesperson
for a fast food chain.

146
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,274
I don't think he knew
what he was in for at all.

147
00:10:06,275 --> 00:10:09,792
I'm here with Jared Fogle, who
we all know as The Subway Guy.

148
00:10:09,793 --> 00:10:11,792
None other than
Jared, The Subway Guy.

149
00:10:11,793 --> 00:10:13,895
Jared, The Subway Guy.

150
00:10:13,896 --> 00:10:16,757
<i>We're now joined
in Indianapolis by Jared Fogle.</i>

151
00:10:16,758 --> 00:10:18,067
<i>What do you do for a living?</i>

152
00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:20,964
Pretty much now I go all
over the world with Subway.

153
00:10:20,965 --> 00:10:23,240
<i>He got so, so famous.</i>

154
00:10:23,241 --> 00:10:24,343
<i>It was like Madonna.</i>

155
00:10:24,344 --> 00:10:26,481
<i>Everybody knew
Jared, The Subway Guy.</i>

156
00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:27,550
<i>I couldn't believe it.</i>

157
00:10:27,551 --> 00:10:29,999
He just absolutely blew up.

158
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,136
I think people resonated with Jared
and loved him so much and he just rose

159
00:10:34,137 --> 00:10:38,930
so high because he was
the ultimate underdog in life.

160
00:10:38,931 --> 00:10:40,274
Sir, I'd love to have
your autograph.

161
00:10:40,275 --> 00:10:42,033
Very good.

162
00:10:42,034 --> 00:10:43,447
- Famous Jared.
- How are you doing?

163
00:10:43,448 --> 00:10:45,585
I never expected
to be well known.

164
00:10:45,586 --> 00:10:47,033
Dude, look a that
commercial with the guy

165
00:10:47,034 --> 00:10:48,826
that lost 400 pounds eating
at Subway sandwiches.

166
00:10:48,827 --> 00:10:52,343
It's like I'm almost like in
a fairy tale, like in a La La Land.

167
00:10:52,344 --> 00:10:55,171
When you see somebody
really just take hold of their life

168
00:10:55,172 --> 00:10:59,136
and just turn it like right to
hell around, it is really inspiring.

169
00:10:59,137 --> 00:11:00,930
Thanks for being
the real deal...

170
00:11:00,931 --> 00:11:02,241
You're welcome, whoever you are.

171
00:11:05,068 --> 00:11:06,619
<i>My name is Max Winitz.</i>

172
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:12,447
<i>I was a reporter and anchor
with ABC7 in Sarasota, Florida.</i>

173
00:11:12,448 --> 00:11:15,033
<i>Jared Fogle, aka The Subway Guy,</i>

174
00:11:15,034 --> 00:11:17,102
<i>is no stranger to the Suncoast.</i>

175
00:11:17,103 --> 00:11:19,723
<i>Here he is visiting Lakewood
Ranch Medical Center,</i>

176
00:11:19,724 --> 00:11:23,723
<i>followed by a stop at the
restaurant that made him famous.</i>

177
00:11:23,724 --> 00:11:29,688
So in the mid-2000s, Jared
would often visit Florida's Suncoast.

178
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,412
Specifically the Sarasota area.

179
00:11:32,413 --> 00:11:35,412
<i>Jared Fogle has
made school visits just like this to talk</i>

180
00:11:35,413 --> 00:11:39,137
<i>to kids about his story and why
a healthy lifestyle is so important.</i>

181
00:11:40,413 --> 00:11:45,274
And on one of those days,
he sat down for the first time

182
00:11:45,275 --> 00:11:49,379
with Rochelle Herman,
a local radio host.

183
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:56,862
<i>I came to know
Jared Fogle better than anyone.</i>

184
00:11:59,344 --> 00:12:05,448
<i>What I found out about him and
who he really was made me feel</i>

185
00:12:06,931 --> 00:12:09,000
<i>so much hatred towards him.</i>

186
00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:16,033
Some of the darkest memories
that I have is I can't stop going

187
00:12:16,034 --> 00:12:19,724
back to, um, what he
put these kids through.

188
00:12:26,724 --> 00:12:29,205
Will take me for the rest
of my life to process it.

189
00:12:29,206 --> 00:12:30,586
Um...

190
00:12:41,137 --> 00:12:42,310
I'm sorry.

191
00:13:02,551 --> 00:13:04,274
My life before Jared,

192
00:13:04,275 --> 00:13:05,413
it wasn't perfect.

193
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,793
<i>I met my husband, Tom, in 1996.</i>

194
00:13:15,206 --> 00:13:18,172
After a few short months,
Tom and I got married.

195
00:13:20,551 --> 00:13:21,862
<i>We had a great start.</i>

196
00:13:23,379 --> 00:13:26,620
<i>My son, Thomas,
was born in 1997.</i>

197
00:13:27,793 --> 00:13:32,274
<i>And my daughter,
Angela, was born in 1998.</i>

198
00:13:32,275 --> 00:13:34,999
<i>They were very
close, 16 months apart.</i>

199
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,034
<i>We just had a wonderful family.</i>

200
00:13:39,034 --> 00:13:43,481
<i>But things just
piled on as they do.</i>

201
00:13:43,482 --> 00:13:45,103
<i>There was a lot of arguing.</i>

202
00:13:48,379 --> 00:13:53,034
<i>And then after ten years, Tom
and I went our separate ways.</i>

203
00:13:57,034 --> 00:14:03,895
<i>After the divorce, I was starting
on a new path as a single mom.</i>

204
00:14:03,896 --> 00:14:10,481
<i>I really started building my career
broadcasting as a radio talk show host</i>

205
00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:13,137
<i>and as a TV show personality.</i>

206
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,800
<i>She became
like a huge regional star.</i>

207
00:14:18,379 --> 00:14:21,378
<i>As a kid, I definitely thought
my mom was really cool because</i>

208
00:14:21,379 --> 00:14:23,309
<i>we would always be
going out and doing things</i>

209
00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:25,550
<i>for the radio and
TV shows she had.</i>

210
00:14:25,551 --> 00:14:28,378
I definitely looked up to
my mother, like, quite a bit.

211
00:14:28,379 --> 00:14:30,965
<i>My first
impression of Rochelle...</i>

212
00:14:32,827 --> 00:14:34,067
She was a beautiful woman.

213
00:14:34,068 --> 00:14:37,137
I mean, blond... blond hair
who's not a sucker for blonds.

214
00:14:38,689 --> 00:14:40,206
<i>To know her as a lover,</i>

215
00:14:41,551 --> 00:14:43,275
<i>she's the sweetest
person in the world.</i>

216
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:45,723
<i>She has a big heart.</i>

217
00:14:45,724 --> 00:14:47,964
There's this thing called the
turkey trolley that she would do

218
00:14:47,965 --> 00:14:50,723
every Christmas and,
like, deliver meals to people

219
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:53,102
who don't have any
family members and stuff.

220
00:14:53,103 --> 00:14:57,310
She's just a very caring
person and wants to help people.

221
00:14:59,689 --> 00:15:00,930
<i>Morning, everyone.</i>

222
00:15:00,931 --> 00:15:04,585
<i>Thanks for joining us here
for Health Beat of America.</i>

223
00:15:04,586 --> 00:15:10,171
<i>The purpose of my
radio show was to educate the public.</i>

224
00:15:10,172 --> 00:15:14,310
One of the more common
subjects was obesity in America.

225
00:15:16,965 --> 00:15:22,757
<i>In the fall of 2006, I was contacted
by the American Heart Association</i>

226
00:15:22,758 --> 00:15:28,757
asking me to interview Jared Fogle,
spokesperson of Subway, on the program.

227
00:15:28,758 --> 00:15:32,723
<i>It was a no-brainer, really,
because he was so popular.</i>

228
00:15:32,724 --> 00:15:34,136
Hey, Jared, what's cooking?

229
00:15:35,827 --> 00:15:38,379
<i>He was somebody
that America rallied behind.</i>

230
00:15:39,344 --> 00:15:41,378
Congratulations, Jared.

231
00:15:41,379 --> 00:15:42,999
We love you, Jared.

232
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,067
Subway certainly recognized it.

233
00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:48,102
I mean, they... they marketed
the hell out of this guy.

234
00:15:48,103 --> 00:15:52,895
A college junior named Jared
Fogle weighed 425 pounds,

235
00:15:52,896 --> 00:15:57,205
decided to make a change in his
life, walked into a nearby Subway

236
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:59,343
and created his own unique diet.

237
00:15:59,344 --> 00:16:04,206
It's a success story, and
Americans love success stories.

238
00:16:06,551 --> 00:16:10,688
<i>The kids, when they
would see him, they were screaming.</i>

239
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:12,343
It was like people
seeing Michael Jackson.

240
00:16:12,344 --> 00:16:13,689
That's really the way it was.

241
00:16:15,413 --> 00:16:16,895
<i>Thanks
for joining us. I'm...</i>

242
00:16:16,896 --> 00:16:20,240
<i>The morning of the
broadcast that I had scheduled Jared</i>

243
00:16:20,241 --> 00:16:23,930
<i>to be on was for radio,
and following that,</i>

244
00:16:23,931 --> 00:16:26,240
<i>there was a television version.</i>

245
00:16:26,241 --> 00:16:29,757
<i>I was excited he
was coming on the air,</i>

246
00:16:29,758 --> 00:16:34,379
<i>but he was about 30 to 40
minutes late for his interview.</i>

247
00:16:35,172 --> 00:16:37,309
<i>When Jared came in the studio,</i>

248
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:39,999
<i>we quickly went to
commercial break.</i>

249
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,999
<i>He was very nice.</i>

250
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,378
<i>He was very cordial, and
personable, but he had ego.</i>

251
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:51,620
<i>That, I believe is because
of his fast flight to stardom.</i>

252
00:16:52,965 --> 00:16:54,516
<i>He was a good interviewee.</i>

253
00:16:54,517 --> 00:16:56,309
What was the turning
point in your life?

254
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:57,826
You said you were 20 years old.

255
00:16:57,827 --> 00:16:59,585
Why not earlier on?

256
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:01,757
I had to finally accept
I had a problem, number one,

257
00:17:01,758 --> 00:17:03,481
I had to finally, um,

258
00:17:03,482 --> 00:17:06,102
go through several failed
attempts of losing weight and,

259
00:17:06,103 --> 00:17:08,171
you know, get to that
point where I was just ready

260
00:17:08,172 --> 00:17:09,550
to do what I had to do.

261
00:17:09,551 --> 00:17:11,930
Now, what has been
the highest point in your life here?

262
00:17:11,931 --> 00:17:13,585
Is it about motivating others?

263
00:17:13,586 --> 00:17:14,999
I think it is.

264
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,136
And I think especially kids
more than anything. Trying to say,

265
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:19,654
"Hey, I expect you guys to
take that self-responsibility

266
00:17:19,655 --> 00:17:23,378
at a much younger age so you don't
have to have the health issues that I had."

267
00:17:23,379 --> 00:17:25,619
<i>Jared spoke
about childhood obesity.</i>

268
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:29,102
<i>He spoke about
building self-esteem.</i>

269
00:17:29,103 --> 00:17:33,481
It was always about his
passion for helping the children.

270
00:17:33,482 --> 00:17:35,723
<i>I never thought in a
million years I'd ever be in a position</i>

271
00:17:35,724 --> 00:17:38,447
<i>to motivate or influence somebody
else, let alone in a positive way.</i>

272
00:17:38,448 --> 00:17:40,792
<i>So this hopefully,
the story can...</i>

273
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:44,275
<i>can... really people see, "If that Jared
guy can do it, you know, I can do it too."</i>

274
00:17:46,241 --> 00:17:50,550
<i>After we finished with the
segment, Jared was very flirtatious.</i>

275
00:17:50,551 --> 00:17:52,999
<i>He told me how pretty I was.</i>

276
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,205
I was flattered that he
was interested in me,

277
00:17:57,206 --> 00:18:01,964
whether it was sincere or
just the way that he was.

278
00:18:01,965 --> 00:18:04,723
I wasn't sure.

279
00:18:04,724 --> 00:18:08,619
<i>So following the interview, I
expressed to him how excited</i>

280
00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:13,724
<i>my daughter Angela was and
that she wanted to meet him.</i>

281
00:18:15,551 --> 00:18:18,136
<i>He came and met us
and we took photos.</i>

282
00:18:18,137 --> 00:18:24,068
<i>Jared is standing there and then he
has my daughter, I believe, to his left.</i>

283
00:18:33,137 --> 00:18:35,862
<i>Looking at it brings
back horrible memories.</i>

284
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:41,310
<i>It's like putting your children
in the mouth of a shark.</i>

285
00:18:49,344 --> 00:18:52,619
<i>The filming of the television
program I was to do with Jared</i>

286
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:56,034
<i>was held at the middle
school here in Sarasota.</i>

287
00:18:56,931 --> 00:18:59,240
<i>So Jared and I went on stage.</i>

288
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:02,343
<i>Nobody was in the auditorium
except for my cameraman.</i>

289
00:19:02,344 --> 00:19:09,172
<i>He went on his way to position his
camera, and we sat down on the couch.</i>

290
00:19:18,034 --> 00:19:22,171
<i>Jared started talking to me,
telling me how pretty I was,</i>

291
00:19:22,172 --> 00:19:25,654
<i>asking me if he
could hold my hand.</i>

292
00:19:25,655 --> 00:19:30,412
<i>I believe Jared had been
going through a divorce.</i>

293
00:19:30,413 --> 00:19:33,274
<i>It was obvious he was
very interested in me.</i>

294
00:19:33,275 --> 00:19:34,792
<i>That made me uncomfortable.</i>

295
00:19:34,793 --> 00:19:36,102
<i>But I didn't say anything.</i>

296
00:19:36,103 --> 00:19:37,482
I just blew it off.

297
00:19:39,689 --> 00:19:42,964
<i>Just before the
camera started rolling,</i>

298
00:19:42,965 --> 00:19:48,241
<i>he slowly leans over
and whispers in my ear...</i>

299
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:52,240
<i>something so horrific.</i>

300
00:19:52,241 --> 00:19:54,482
It changed my life forever.

301
00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:10,481
Jared leaned over,

302
00:20:10,482 --> 00:20:14,516
just out of the blue,
and tells me how hot

303
00:20:14,517 --> 00:20:16,586
he thought middle
school girls were.

304
00:20:17,827 --> 00:20:19,378
I just shut down.

305
00:20:19,379 --> 00:20:21,137
It was such a shock to me.

306
00:20:23,586 --> 00:20:27,620
<i>Did I really just hear
what he just said to me?</i>

307
00:20:32,137 --> 00:20:35,343
And at that point, a
teacher came in and brought

308
00:20:35,344 --> 00:20:39,172
a couple of students and,
um, to speak with Jared.

309
00:20:40,551 --> 00:20:43,378
How did you
make it through that interview?

310
00:20:43,379 --> 00:20:49,516
I was struggling, to be frank
with you, because my mind kept

311
00:20:49,517 --> 00:20:52,378
deferring back to
what he said to me.

312
00:20:52,379 --> 00:20:54,931
<i>I just wanted to
get it over with.</i>

313
00:21:06,551 --> 00:21:13,274
<i>So I was lying in bed following
my day of events with Jared</i>

314
00:21:13,275 --> 00:21:15,206
<i>and my mind is racing.</i>

315
00:21:16,517 --> 00:21:18,551
<i>What was Jared Fogle?</i>

316
00:21:19,068 --> 00:21:20,171
<i>Who was he?</i>

317
00:21:20,172 --> 00:21:22,586
<i>It's not who he
portrays himself to be.</i>

318
00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:25,136
<i>I was thinking
about the children</i>

319
00:21:25,137 --> 00:21:27,241
<i>of all the schools
that he was going to.</i>

320
00:21:29,206 --> 00:21:31,448
<i>He could be a
danger to our children.</i>

321
00:21:32,793 --> 00:21:34,724
<i>It was just so alarming.</i>

322
00:21:36,931 --> 00:21:41,723
<i>On the outside, he seemed
friendly, caring, compassionate,</i>

323
00:21:41,724 --> 00:21:45,344
<i>well-liked, somebody
that people looked up to.</i>

324
00:21:46,344 --> 00:21:48,034
<i>But was it been all a lie?</i>

325
00:21:49,586 --> 00:21:52,067
<i>I didn't know what
I was going to do.</i>

326
00:21:52,068 --> 00:21:54,102
<i>I didn't know where
it would lead me.</i>

327
00:21:54,103 --> 00:21:57,205
<i>But I just wanted
to find out the truth.</i>

328
00:21:57,206 --> 00:22:02,102
Please welcome Jared who-lost-245-pounds-eating-
<i>Subway-sandwiches Fogle.</i>

329
00:22:04,344 --> 00:22:05,620
Amazing.

330
00:22:09,931 --> 00:22:12,964
<i>My husband and I, we
were sitting and watching TV</i>

331
00:22:12,965 --> 00:22:14,895
<i>and we were watching
Oprah Winfrey.</i>

332
00:22:14,896 --> 00:22:19,793
And I saw Jared on... on
Oprah Winfrey telling his story.

333
00:22:21,379 --> 00:22:23,688
It was a, it was a diet
that I sort of invented.

334
00:22:23,689 --> 00:22:26,102
I lived next to a Subway sandwich
shop in Bloomington, Indiana.

335
00:22:26,103 --> 00:22:27,792
<i>I saw his before
and after pictures</i>

336
00:22:27,793 --> 00:22:29,516
<i>and I was amazed.</i>

337
00:22:29,517 --> 00:22:34,481
<i>I had a voila moment and I said,
"Oh, my gosh, this is what I need to do."</i>

338
00:22:34,482 --> 00:22:39,586
<i>And that day I picked up my first
Subway sandwich, and the rest is history.</i>

339
00:22:40,931 --> 00:22:45,137
<i>After six months, I
had lost 55 pounds.</i>

340
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:49,447
<i>I always said that Jared
was my hero at that time.</i>

341
00:22:49,448 --> 00:22:51,275
He was the inspiration
for me to do that.

342
00:22:52,793 --> 00:22:53,931
<i>He changed my life.</i>

343
00:22:55,896 --> 00:23:00,620
I became somewhat
of a... a local star.

344
00:23:02,793 --> 00:23:07,619
And then a few weeks later, I got
a call from the Subway Corporation

345
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:10,205
and they said, "Well, we'd
like to fly you to California

346
00:23:10,206 --> 00:23:12,930
and make a commercial
with Jared Fogle, it's going

347
00:23:12,931 --> 00:23:14,482
to be called "Friends of Jared."

348
00:23:15,931 --> 00:23:17,310
<i>So I landed in L.A.</i>

349
00:23:18,896 --> 00:23:20,654
There were five of us total,

350
00:23:20,655 --> 00:23:25,585
the first commercial. My first
impression to Jared was just

351
00:23:25,586 --> 00:23:28,102
kind of down to
earth, very easygoing.

352
00:23:28,103 --> 00:23:29,516
<i>He got along with everybody</i>

353
00:23:29,517 --> 00:23:32,000
<i>and he was really
helpful to all of us.</i>

354
00:23:33,068 --> 00:23:34,516
<i>He says, "Your life after these</i>

355
00:23:34,517 --> 00:23:35,964
<i>commercials is going to change."</i>

356
00:23:35,965 --> 00:23:37,412
<i>He says, "Just be ready for it."</i>

357
00:23:37,413 --> 00:23:38,689
<i>And it did.</i>

358
00:23:39,931 --> 00:23:42,378
<i>You remember Jared from Subway?</i>

359
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:45,171
<i>Turns out, he's
inspired a lot of people...</i>

360
00:23:55,448 --> 00:23:59,274
<i>My whole life
changed for about a year.</i>

361
00:23:59,275 --> 00:24:03,205
<i>Everywhere I went, people
were honking at me and waving.</i>

362
00:24:03,206 --> 00:24:05,136
You know, being
thrown in the limelight,

363
00:24:05,137 --> 00:24:06,896
it's... it's pretty
overwhelming.

364
00:24:08,413 --> 00:24:14,412
<i>I can't imagine what
I dealt with for a year</i>

365
00:24:14,413 --> 00:24:18,481
<i>that Jared went
through for 15 years.</i>

366
00:24:18,482 --> 00:24:24,448
<i>But one of the things that impressed me
about him was that he was very humble.</i>

367
00:24:26,068 --> 00:24:30,309
<i>He just wanted to help
other children to lose weight.</i>

368
00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:32,790
<i>I thought, what a great thing to
do with your fame and fortune.</i>

369
00:24:34,413 --> 00:24:37,723
<i>As I look back, I did not
see a dark side in him.</i>

370
00:24:37,724 --> 00:24:40,827
<i>I only saw the good side of him.</i>

371
00:24:45,896 --> 00:24:49,343
<i>To prove Jared was up to no good</i>

372
00:24:49,344 --> 00:24:52,171
<i>and was a danger
to our children...</i>

373
00:24:52,172 --> 00:24:53,619
They don't make the sandwiches.

374
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:55,619
<i>I needed
to have evidence...</i>

375
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,102
Subway.

376
00:24:57,103 --> 00:24:59,620
And that's what I
sought out to acquire.

377
00:25:05,482 --> 00:25:07,688
You are a radio talk show host,

378
00:25:07,689 --> 00:25:09,241
you're a reporter.

379
00:25:10,620 --> 00:25:14,757
This could potentially be an
amazing and revealing story.

380
00:25:14,758 --> 00:25:16,136
Mm-hmm.

381
00:25:16,137 --> 00:25:18,577
To what extent did
that play into your molestation?

382
00:25:19,689 --> 00:25:24,930
I initially thought,
"Wow, what a story."

383
00:25:24,931 --> 00:25:27,619
I mean, that's my profession.

384
00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:32,448
But my impulse
was to act because

385
00:25:33,344 --> 00:25:36,516
this was horrible what he said.

386
00:25:36,517 --> 00:25:41,033
Not only the fact that I was a
mother and had children of my own.

387
00:25:41,034 --> 00:25:47,033
This is just I think any individual
would think that there needs

388
00:25:47,034 --> 00:25:49,930
to be a further look
into Jared Fogle.

389
00:25:49,931 --> 00:25:51,611
Why didn't you go to the police?

390
00:25:52,827 --> 00:25:55,034
I didn't have any
tangible evidence.

391
00:25:56,793 --> 00:26:01,379
<i>He could easily discount
it and say I misheard.</i>

392
00:26:04,172 --> 00:26:07,344
<i>Because of his
status as a celebrity,</i>

393
00:26:08,206 --> 00:26:09,379
who would believe me?

394
00:26:12,965 --> 00:26:15,724
<i>So I started my own research.</i>

395
00:26:19,068 --> 00:26:22,999
<i>I was searching to see if he
was ever arrested for anything,</i>

396
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,585
<i>charged with anything, trying
to find anyone who knew him</i>

397
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,619
<i>or knew of him, had
interviewed him prior,</i>

398
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:34,895
<i>not wanting to give
away what it was</i>

399
00:26:34,896 --> 00:26:38,550
<i>that I was really investigating,</i>

400
00:26:38,551 --> 00:26:43,068
<i>but there was nothing I could never
find anything of a deviant nature.</i>

401
00:26:48,724 --> 00:26:52,585
At this point, I had my
suspicions as anyone might

402
00:26:52,586 --> 00:26:58,379
when they're told... made... someone
makes a statement such as what Jared did.

403
00:26:59,379 --> 00:27:01,275
<i>But I didn't have proof.</i>

404
00:27:02,965 --> 00:27:08,447
<i>So I knew I needed to get
Jared on tape in his own words,</i>

405
00:27:08,448 --> 00:27:14,757
<i>his own voice expressing
his desires, his confessions,</i>

406
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:18,240
<i>and especially even
his plans for children.</i>

407
00:27:18,241 --> 00:27:21,412
<i>It wasn't the most
thought-out plan,</i>

408
00:27:21,413 --> 00:27:24,689
<i>but once the
evidence was acquired.</i>

409
00:27:26,448 --> 00:27:30,343
<i>I could hand over
to the authorities.</i>

410
00:27:30,344 --> 00:27:33,931
But that's when the story
becomes kind of crazy.

411
00:27:53,241 --> 00:27:56,102
It was about six months
after the first interview

412
00:27:56,103 --> 00:27:58,792
that the <i>American Heart
Association</i> arranged

413
00:27:58,793 --> 00:28:02,655
a second interview on
my programs with Jared.

414
00:28:05,241 --> 00:28:11,103
<i>And during a conversation I had
surrounding his interview off the air,</i>

415
00:28:12,241 --> 00:28:17,412
<i>I was able to obtain
Jared's cell phone number.</i>

416
00:28:17,413 --> 00:28:23,067
That cell phone number was my
connection to be able to talk with him

417
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:25,447
and see what else he had to say,

418
00:28:25,448 --> 00:28:29,689
<i>see what other deviant
things he might want to share.</i>

419
00:28:32,034 --> 00:28:34,206
And so that's why I
started recording him.

420
00:28:40,655 --> 00:28:42,205
<i>Hello?</i>

421
00:28:42,206 --> 00:28:44,240
<i>Hey, there.</i>

422
00:28:44,241 --> 00:28:47,895
<i>We had just a
few conversations early on.</i>

423
00:28:47,896 --> 00:28:49,757
<i>I was very nervous.</i>

424
00:29:01,620 --> 00:29:03,033
<i>Tomorrow will be...</i>

425
00:29:03,034 --> 00:29:07,861
<i>Jared was very
cautious with what he would tell me</i>

426
00:29:07,862 --> 00:29:12,447
initially, so I had to take
baby steps asking questions

427
00:29:12,448 --> 00:29:16,861
not to frighten him away,
but just to plant a seed.

428
00:29:16,862 --> 00:29:18,826
"Oh, she's interested."

429
00:29:18,827 --> 00:29:23,447
Um, you know, and just until
he felt more comfortable with me

430
00:29:23,448 --> 00:29:25,310
would he share more information.

431
00:29:39,448 --> 00:29:40,826
<i>I gave the appearance</i>

432
00:29:40,827 --> 00:29:43,827
that I was somebody
he could confide in.

433
00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:51,930
<i>Throughout the phone calls,</i>

434
00:29:51,931 --> 00:29:56,102
<i>there was a number of times that he
would bring up the subject of children.</i>

435
00:30:10,172 --> 00:30:13,378
He didn't get into
any sexual nature of it,

436
00:30:13,379 --> 00:30:16,861
but he deferred right to
the subject of children.

437
00:30:16,862 --> 00:30:18,689
<i>He must have been
thinking about it.</i>

438
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:28,379
<i>It wasn't enough.</i>

439
00:30:31,827 --> 00:30:34,792
<i>So I agreed to meet him.</i>

440
00:30:34,793 --> 00:30:38,136
<i>He had to be in West
Palm Beach for Subway</i>

441
00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:42,310
<i>and made the arrangements for
me to come out there to see him.</i>

442
00:30:44,137 --> 00:30:48,136
It was important for me to
meet with Jared in person.

443
00:30:48,137 --> 00:30:51,378
When you meet someone
in person, you feel closer.

444
00:30:51,379 --> 00:30:53,137
You're more comfortable.

445
00:30:54,827 --> 00:31:00,895
<i>I admit that I was naive to a
degree doing this initial launch</i>

446
00:31:00,896 --> 00:31:02,931
<i>of an investigation on my own.</i>

447
00:31:04,137 --> 00:31:08,654
I didn't think about,
what level of harm's way

448
00:31:08,655 --> 00:31:11,413
that I would be possibly
putting myself in.

449
00:31:12,586 --> 00:31:16,448
<i>I just did what I
felt instinctual to do.</i>

450
00:31:18,931 --> 00:31:22,136
<i>I had my Dictaphone
in my handbag.</i>

451
00:31:22,137 --> 00:31:28,999
<i>My hope was I am going to
hopefully capture his confessions,</i>

452
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,826
<i>his ideas about children.</i>

453
00:31:30,827 --> 00:31:34,206
<i>Perhaps this could be
the evidence that I need</i>

454
00:31:35,275 --> 00:31:38,620
<i>in order to put forward
to the authorities.</i>

455
00:31:40,206 --> 00:31:44,378
<i>So I arrived in West Palm
Beach at the motel that Jared</i>

456
00:31:44,379 --> 00:31:49,413
<i>was staying at, and I
turned the Dictaphone ON.</i>

457
00:31:56,793 --> 00:32:00,103
<i>I was very nervous
walking to his room.</i>

458
00:32:02,689 --> 00:32:04,999
<i>I didn't want to get
caught with a recorder.</i>

459
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,793
<i>I wanted to appear to
be as calm as possible.</i>

460
00:32:22,413 --> 00:32:26,274
<i>And so I entered the
room and he welcomed me.</i>

461
00:32:26,275 --> 00:32:27,723
<i>He's... "Oh, thank
you for coming.</i>

462
00:32:27,724 --> 00:32:29,000
<i>It's really great to see you."</i>

463
00:32:32,551 --> 00:32:35,930
<i>And I sat on the edge of the
bed because he had his luggage</i>

464
00:32:35,931 --> 00:32:37,758
<i>on the only chair
that was in the room.</i>

465
00:32:38,758 --> 00:32:40,896
<i>And he sat down on
the bed next to me.</i>

466
00:32:45,689 --> 00:32:49,103
And he started to
become very hands-on,

467
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:53,827
<i>just as though he had a right.</i>

468
00:32:55,517 --> 00:32:59,861
<i>I very calmly, just
kind of pulled away.</i>

469
00:32:59,862 --> 00:33:02,136
<i>I did not want to get
physical with Jared.</i>

470
00:33:02,137 --> 00:33:10,033
I was thinking of every which
way to let him know it wasn't okay.

471
00:33:10,034 --> 00:33:15,516
<i>Then he leans over to
me and he tells me how hot</i>

472
00:33:15,517 --> 00:33:18,619
<i>it would be if I put
my hair in pigtails.</i>

473
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:20,000
<i>And would I do that for him?</i>

474
00:33:23,689 --> 00:33:25,757
How did you interpret that?

475
00:33:25,758 --> 00:33:27,689
Looking like a
child, a little girl.

476
00:33:28,827 --> 00:33:31,136
With the comment that
he had made at the school,

477
00:33:31,137 --> 00:33:37,102
and now the comment about me
putting my hair in pigtails for him...

478
00:33:37,103 --> 00:33:41,655
<i>No doubt in my mind that
Jared was in fact a pedophile.</i>

479
00:33:42,482 --> 00:33:44,172
<i>It made my skin crawl.</i>

480
00:33:45,827 --> 00:33:51,378
<i>I was shaking and I was trying
not to allow my sickening feeling</i>

481
00:33:51,379 --> 00:33:53,551
<i>inside to be
expressed on my face.</i>

482
00:33:54,655 --> 00:33:56,792
<i>I had to get out.</i>

483
00:33:56,793 --> 00:34:00,171
<i>As soon as he went into the
restroom and closed the door,</i>

484
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:05,033
I grabbed my bag, walked to
my car as quickly as possible,

485
00:34:05,034 --> 00:34:08,103
hoping to get in my vehicle
before he even noticed I was gone.

486
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,827
<i>As soon as I'm pulling
out of the parking lot...</i>

487
00:34:17,068 --> 00:34:20,861
<i>Jared calls me on the phone
and asked me, "Where did you go?"</i>

488
00:34:20,862 --> 00:34:22,619
<i>And I told him, "I'm so sorry.</i>

489
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:24,999
<i>I just received a
phone call from my kids.</i>

490
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,792
<i>I have to get back right away.</i>

491
00:34:26,793 --> 00:34:29,481
<i>We'll have to see
each other again soon."</i>

492
00:34:29,482 --> 00:34:34,482
<i>As I drove up the coast, I was
sobbing, I was crying, I was shaking.</i>

493
00:34:35,310 --> 00:34:38,585
It didn't go as I had planned.

494
00:34:38,586 --> 00:34:43,689
<i>The Dictaphone didn't pick up as
clear of a conversation as I had hoped.</i>

495
00:34:48,241 --> 00:34:49,378
<i>I was frightened.</i>

496
00:34:49,379 --> 00:34:52,448
<i>I was confused.</i>

497
00:34:56,827 --> 00:34:58,620
<i>Do I continue on?</i>

498
00:35:00,310 --> 00:35:04,000
<i>The driving force for
me was moral obligation.</i>

499
00:35:05,689 --> 00:35:09,205
<i>What he's portraying to
the audience, to the children,</i>

500
00:35:09,206 --> 00:35:11,620
<i>to his peers, to his handlers,</i>

501
00:35:12,724 --> 00:35:13,861
<i>that's not him.</i>

502
00:35:13,862 --> 00:35:15,344
<i>He's hiding behind a mask.</i>

503
00:35:17,068 --> 00:35:20,068
And I realized I could enjoy lots of
great-tasting food without lots of fat.

504
00:35:21,310 --> 00:35:25,619
<i>Any time I would
see children, I wondered,</i>

505
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:27,723
<i>"Did they cross
paths with Jared?"</i>

506
00:35:27,724 --> 00:35:29,689
<i>"Could they
possibly be a victim?"</i>

507
00:35:35,379 --> 00:35:38,861
That catapulted me on
my mission to find out

508
00:35:38,862 --> 00:35:40,862
more about what Jared was up to.

509
00:35:43,862 --> 00:35:45,723
<i>In the mid-2000s,</i>

510
00:35:45,724 --> 00:35:49,516
you cannot turn on your TV
without seeing Jared Fogle.

511
00:35:49,517 --> 00:35:51,654
Jared here with some
hard-hitting little leaguers.

512
00:35:51,655 --> 00:35:53,136
Hi!

513
00:35:53,137 --> 00:35:55,240
You know, there are over 12
million overweight kids in this country.

514
00:35:55,241 --> 00:35:56,343
But exercise and...

515
00:35:56,344 --> 00:35:58,136
- Eating right can help.
- Which is why...

516
00:35:58,137 --> 00:35:59,654
<i>He made so many commercials.</i>

517
00:35:59,655 --> 00:36:03,447
And it was just really neat
seeing how all the different

518
00:36:03,448 --> 00:36:06,516
celebrities and everything that
he is making commercials with.

519
00:36:06,517 --> 00:36:09,136
- Less fat.
- More meat.

520
00:36:09,137 --> 00:36:10,240
Less fat.

521
00:36:10,241 --> 00:36:11,655
Jared...

522
00:36:12,655 --> 00:36:13,895
More meat.

523
00:36:13,896 --> 00:36:15,171
More meat!

524
00:36:16,275 --> 00:36:17,482
- Subway.
- Eat fresh!

525
00:36:18,724 --> 00:36:20,895
<i>Jared became a household name,</i>

526
00:36:20,896 --> 00:36:26,205
which led to roles in
TV shows and movies.

527
00:36:26,206 --> 00:36:29,965
<i>He became an icon in
American pop culture.</i>

528
00:36:36,689 --> 00:36:40,757
<i>Jared's schedule
with Subway was jam-packed.</i>

529
00:36:40,758 --> 00:36:42,723
New York, L.A., Denver,

530
00:36:42,724 --> 00:36:44,895
I can be... Even in
Australia and New Zealand

531
00:36:44,896 --> 00:36:46,136
now people know who I am.

532
00:36:46,137 --> 00:36:47,447
Jared Fogle.

533
00:36:48,896 --> 00:36:51,757
<i>Which was very helpful
for me because the busier he was,</i>

534
00:36:51,758 --> 00:36:54,792
<i>the less he would be
trying to meet me in person.</i>

535
00:36:54,793 --> 00:36:57,619
<i>So it made the most
sense for us to have</i>

536
00:36:57,620 --> 00:37:00,619
<i>a long-distance
phone relationship.</i>

537
00:37:00,620 --> 00:37:02,826
<i>My mum would always
have some kind of recording</i>

538
00:37:02,827 --> 00:37:06,861
device on her that would allow
her to record whatever was going on.

539
00:37:06,862 --> 00:37:09,262
Like, something could just
happen and she wanted to be ready.

540
00:37:17,793 --> 00:37:22,136
<i>I was there to gain
his trust and to get information.</i>

541
00:37:22,137 --> 00:37:29,103
And eventually, he would tell me
his deepest and darkest secrets.

542
00:37:45,827 --> 00:37:49,861
<i>Jared was
lonely during his travels.</i>

543
00:37:49,862 --> 00:37:53,895
<i>I think that I was an escape
from his public persona,</i>

544
00:37:53,896 --> 00:37:57,068
<i>and Jared felt he could
be himself around me.</i>

545
00:37:57,896 --> 00:37:59,137
<i>That's what he needed.</i>

546
00:38:11,344 --> 00:38:15,999
<i>I had to play a role with
Jared that I was interested</i>

547
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,033
<i>in him personally, romantically.</i>

548
00:38:20,034 --> 00:38:23,067
<i>This was, in
essence, a honey trap.</i>

549
00:38:23,068 --> 00:38:25,861
I was going to use
his flirting with me,

550
00:38:25,862 --> 00:38:28,619
interest in me to my
advantage... Absolutely.

551
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:29,792
<i>Why would I not?</i>

552
00:38:29,793 --> 00:38:31,034
<i>That was my leverage.</i>

553
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:54,102
<i>The next step was
to bring him to a point of comfort</i>

554
00:38:54,103 --> 00:38:58,068
<i>where he would share his innermost
desires when it came to children.</i>

555
00:39:00,724 --> 00:39:03,067
<i>I am back to my hotel.</i>

556
00:39:03,068 --> 00:39:04,585
You are.

557
00:39:04,586 --> 00:39:08,310
<i>As time went on, he
was opening up more and more to me.</i>

558
00:39:35,862 --> 00:39:38,895
<i>Jared called me incessantly.</i>

559
00:39:38,896 --> 00:39:43,412
I mean, there's times that he
called me 15, 20 times a day.

560
00:39:43,413 --> 00:39:48,964
<i>I did my best not to take any calls from
Jared while my children were present.</i>

561
00:39:48,965 --> 00:39:51,585
<i>Unfortunately,
sometimes they were there,</i>

562
00:39:51,586 --> 00:39:54,413
<i>but I would make certain
they were out of earshot.</i>

563
00:39:56,862 --> 00:39:58,619
<i>When these calls would happen,</i>

564
00:39:58,620 --> 00:40:01,033
my mom would sometimes
disappear into her bedroom.

565
00:40:01,034 --> 00:40:04,136
She would be very, like,
secretive and quiet about it.

566
00:40:04,137 --> 00:40:07,171
She wouldn't want me
and my sister to know.

567
00:40:07,172 --> 00:40:08,654
<i>Clearly, it felt like
something was going on</i>

568
00:40:08,655 --> 00:40:10,724
<i>and something was wrong.</i>

569
00:40:19,344 --> 00:40:21,654
<i>It was mid-late 2007</i>

570
00:40:21,655 --> 00:40:23,826
<i>when I received a
phone call from Jared.</i>

571
00:40:23,827 --> 00:40:26,620
<i>He just started to open up.</i>

572
00:40:29,965 --> 00:40:35,000
<i>He was very much
wanting to go to fetish clubs.</i>

573
00:40:43,965 --> 00:40:46,274
<i>I asked him pointed questions.</i>

574
00:40:46,275 --> 00:40:50,068
<i>I wanted to find
out his true desires.</i>

575
00:40:57,724 --> 00:41:00,620
Suddenly, he drops
a bombshell on me.

576
00:41:26,793 --> 00:41:28,964
It's haunting.

577
00:41:28,965 --> 00:41:35,000
When I heard Jared specifically state
getting a child nine or ten years old,

578
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,378
I was terrified.

579
00:41:39,379 --> 00:41:42,964
<i>I did not doubt for a minute
if given the opportunity,</i>

580
00:41:42,965 --> 00:41:45,689
<i>he would not hesitate
to take that child.</i>

581
00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:56,205
At that point, I knew this was
beyond anything that I could

582
00:41:56,206 --> 00:41:58,862
or even should
continue on my own.

583
00:42:00,655 --> 00:42:02,793
<i>I was going straight to the FBI.</i>

584
00:42:04,586 --> 00:42:07,930
<i>I just had no idea...</i>

585
00:42:07,931 --> 00:42:13,000
that I would be putting myself or
even my children in great jeopardy.
