Exclusive: New, bizarre details in Jarred Harrell's childhood
Updated 2/26 8:08 pm

A search of several regional newspapers and You Tube.com shows Harrell's stepfather, Joseph Newman, was a guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Newman was an inventor and one of his inventions brought him national attention. He was also on CNN and written about in Time magazine.

Action News' Kristen Cosby traveled to Harrell's hometown of Lucedale, Mississippi a few weeks ago. That is also where Harrell was raised by Newman in the late 1980's. Cosby uncovered Harrell's parents divorce documents in Lucedale. Those documents showed Harrell and his sister were put in the custody of child welfare after Newman "married" Harrell's sister.

The documents show Newman "spiritually married" Harrell's mom after legally marrying his first wife, Ellen. Later, Harrell's mom legally married Newman. Before that, court papers show Newman announced to the world he "married" Harrel's eight-year-old sister.

One article from the "Mobile Press Register" quotes Newman talking about when he will consummate the marriage with the girl. He says it is "her business, my business and God's business."

The Clarion Ledger out of Jackson, Mississippi talked with Harrel's mom back in 1989. It said: "Asked if she would mind having her daughter's children fathered by Newman, {She} said. 'I wouldn't think it's something I've thought about, but its nothing I have a problem with.'"
 
More articles talk about Harrell's bizarre childhood

Last Update: 3/02 2:00 pm

We learned just why his parents were in court. According to documents, the state removed Jarred Harrell and his older sister from their mom's home. The paperwork says this happened after the step father "married" Harrell's 8-year-old sister.

Action News also uncovered video that Newman posted of himself on You Tube with his first wife. Newman was a well known inventor in his day, even appearing on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Newman also claimed to be a "messenger of God." He still does on the internet today.

The latest articles found by Action News give us more details into Harrell's childhood with Newman. One article talked about northern lights seen in Lucedale. Newman, said the natural phenomenon in the sky was because "God was angry" the Harrell kids were taken out of his home.

In another article, Harrell's mom said her daughter understood the marriage with Newman saying "she loves him and she is committed to him."
