Zoom Town: The Death Before The Zoom

by Travis Mateer

After a violent altercation at the Poverello Center, Sean Stevenson was removed from life support on January 5th, 2020 at St. Patrick’s Hospital in Missoula, Montana.

This interview features Jejchelle Stevenson and Angela Stevenson talking about the questions they still have, a year later, about what happened to their brother and why their family was not contacted before he was removed from life support.

  1. AFTER LISTENING !! I’m alternating between tears and rage…my Christian faith is being severely tested as I learn how HUGE the lie really is….this is far worse than George Floyd or Breauna Taylor…
    I’m truly grateful for the effort put in to get to the truth. I’m a Vietnam Vet and began serious medical treatment for a condition caused by my service there one day after being notified of Sean’s death. The extent of cover-up involved in this case should shock and shame the city of Missoula. Shock those who only heard the lies published about it and shame everyone involved at any level. This is a text book case of why our once great nation is being torn apart by injustice.

  2. Yesterday my heart was broken 💔 and my faith tested at an unbelievable level. Mary and I listened in horror as the REAL story of Sean’s murder, resuscitation and eventual euthanization was brought to light on the one year “hell-iversary” of every parent’s worst nightmare. I alternated between bitter tears and outright rage as I learned that the lies and cover-up were FAR UGLIER than I previously thought. Then while my thoughts were still in turmoil the DA of Kenosha exonerated the killers of Jacob Blake. What was done to my son was like George Floyd, Breona Taylor and Jacob Blake on steroids! Furthermore to learn that they actually have “body cam” footage which was NOT released DESPITE requiring my daughters to sign an NDA is the ultimate insult to a devastated family.
    For a very brief time I allowed myself to think of what it would be like to be at the controls of a B-52 again with Missoula in the bombsight. Of course I could never do such a thing that would negate the life I have tried to I’ve. So I’m left to ponder why the authorities of every entity involved can act with such impunity. I thank the LORD for “Wm Skink” who surely at personal risk decided to pull the covers off and shine a massive LED spotlight on the darkness and cockroaches involved in such a travesty of justice.
    So I now head to my own prayer closet to first ask forgiveness for any hate in my heart towards all involved and then pray that the consciences of some will be pricked so the truth can be known. Only if it comes to light will I then have the opportunity to forgive. WAKE UP AMERICA this is exactly why our Nation is being ripped apart by so-called “good people on both sides” ! For the WORD OF GOD DECLARES:

    Isaiah 5:20-23 KJV — Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

    These murders seem unending Kenny. How to move out of these dark days into the light? I cannot imagine what you and your family are going through. We have a long, long way to go as a Nation, and not enough beacons of hope. Yet we hope.

    My prayers for you and your family. Jesus understands your family’s struggle and your heart’s wounds. When the Father’s Son was murdered, as we know, the sky darkened, the earth shook, the Temple veil was torn apart. After the very hardest time, His tomb lay empty, God bless and keep you and your family in your unimaginable sorrow and grief.

    After listening to this podcast, I am in a state of shock. I previously knew bits and pieces of the story, but this podcast has really shined a light on the injustice. Keep uncovering the cover-up. My heart goes out to Dr. Stevenson and his family.

    Proverbs 28:5 — Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.

    My friend Stephen Wolf died under mysterious circumstances at the Poverello last year as well. I’m heartbroken for your loss.

  7. Before there was a George Floyd, a Breona Taylor, or a Jacob Blake, there was a Sean Stevenson. He was my son. After being murdered, he was resuscitated and then at the direction of the detective on his case, he was euthanized. All of the authorities involved have lied and covered up for over a year. As I watch this case unfold on TV my heart is broken 💔 all over again. But for the videotape of a 17 year old girl, the Floyd case might never have come to trial.
    I ponder deeply what would be revealed by video in Sean’s case if it ever comes to light…I ask over and over why the hospital lied about him even being there… why a detective on the case would lie about having no family contact when suggesting euthanization…. why no records were forthcoming for nine months…how if they had no known family contact information did the local Sheriff show up at my door (30minutes from my door) less than 2hours afterc Sean was euthanized…. why did the same detective NEVER return my calls or text messages, yet told my daughter that he had thoroughly briefed me….

    I WONDER ALOUD WHEN DECENT PEOPLE FINALLY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE INDEED TWO JUSTICE SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY THAT I LOVE….THE COUNTRY THAT I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR IN THREE TOURS OF DUTY DURING VIETNAM…
    I ALSO WONDER IF SOMEONE AT THE POV MAY HAVE OR KNOW OF VIDEO IN SEAN’S CASE….

    Sean was a son, a father an uncle and someone who moved to Montana with excitement about the next phase of his life.He was a decent caring human being whose boss appreciated his work ethic, whose friends appreciated his personality and who had the courage to report an assault just a few days before he himself was senselessly murdered.

    DOES ANYONE IN MISSOULA HAVE THE DECENCY, THE COURAGE TO RIGHT THIS WRONG !
