Speaker 1: I want you to put yourself in a very specific
0:01
Speaker 1: scenario for a moment. Just picture a perfectly mundane July afternoon. Right.
0:08
Speaker 2: Just a totally normal day.
0:09
Speaker 1: Exactly. It's July 3rd, 2024, the day before a major
0:14
Speaker 1: holiday in a quiet, leafy suburb, specifically Clinton Township, Michigan.
0:20
Speaker 2: Which is what, about 22 miles northeast of Detroit?
0:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, right around there. So you're at home. Maybe you
0:25
Speaker 1: just logged off from working upstairs or, you know, maybe
0:27
Speaker 1: you're out in the garage tidying up some tools.
0:30
Speaker 2: Some chores, yeah.
0:31
Speaker 1: Right. You hear the distant, familiar hum of a neighbor
0:34
Speaker 1: cutting their grass. It is just the absolute picture of
0:37
Speaker 1: suburban predictability.
0:39
Speaker 2: A very safe environment.
0:40
Speaker 1: Exactly. But then that tranquility is just violently shattered by
0:44
Speaker 1: these desperate, agonizing screams for help. Yeah. And when you
0:48
Speaker 1: and your neighbors rush outside to see what's happening, you
0:51
Speaker 1: don't find, like, a minor bicycle accident. You find a
0:55
Speaker 1: man lying in his own driveway bleeding out from 14
0:58
Speaker 1: stab wounds.
0:58
Speaker 2: It's horrific. And what makes this scene so visceral for
1:01
Speaker 2: you as a listener is that we aren't just reading
1:04
Speaker 2: a sterile police summary of this attack today.
1:08
Speaker 1: No, not at all.
1:09
Speaker 2: We actually have the raw unfiltered dispatch audio. This was
1:12
Speaker 2: provided by the Law and Crime Network.
1:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's incredible source material.
1:15
Speaker 2: It really is. And we're going to use those transcripts
1:18
Speaker 2: today not just to tell you what happened, but to
1:20
Speaker 2: truly deconstruct the actual anatomy of of a chaotic emergency response.
1:25
Speaker 1: Right.
1:25
Speaker 2: We're going to examine the bizarre anomalies of this crime's timeline. And,
1:31
Speaker 2: you know, we are going to look incredibly closely at
1:33
Speaker 2: the complex machinery of the justice system that takes over
1:37
Speaker 2: once the bleeding stops.
1:38
Speaker 1: Okay, let's unpack this. Because the sheer chaos of those
1:41
Speaker 1: first few minutes on the scene is just, it's overwhelming.
1:44
Speaker 2: It's pure adrenaline.
1:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just after 5.00 p.m., The neighbors who
1:49
Speaker 1: rush over the transcript identifies a guy named Carl, his
1:52
Speaker 1: wife Dawn, and another neighbor named Jeff.
1:54
Speaker 2: Right, they're the absolute first ones there.
1:56
Speaker 1: And they find the victim on the ground, wounded in
1:58
Speaker 1: his neck, his arm, his chest. It's really bad.
2:01
Speaker 2: I mean, 14 wounds. It's catastrophic.
2:03
Speaker 1: So when the first responders finally arrive, it is just
2:06
Speaker 1: pure triage. They don't have a pristine operating room.
2:10
Speaker 2: No, they're working on concrete.
2:12
Speaker 1: Literally. They are wrapping this man in a towel... and
2:16
Speaker 1: applying direct pressure to his wounds right there in the driveway.
2:20
Speaker 1: And going through the medic logs, there was one physiological
2:23
Speaker 1: detail that absolutely stopped me in my tracks.
2:26
Speaker 2: The subcutaneous fat.
2:28
Speaker 1: Yes. The medic actually notes that the victim's subcutaneous fat
2:32
Speaker 1: was protruding and plugging some of the puncture holes.
2:36
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating physiological response.
2:38
Speaker 1: Reading that, it reminded me of a self-sealing fuel tank
2:42
Speaker 1: on a military aircraft. You know, when the outer layer
2:45
Speaker 1: of one of those tanks is punctured by a bullet,
2:47
Speaker 1: the internal rubber lining reacts with the fuel.
2:50
Speaker 2: Right, it expands.
2:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, it swells up and mechanically blocks the hole. It's
2:54
Speaker 1: not a perfect fix, but it keeps the aircraft from
2:56
Speaker 1: bleeding completely dry before it can land. Is that essentially
3:00
Speaker 1: what the body is doing here?
3:01
Speaker 2: That is an incredibly accurate way to visualize it, actually.
3:04
Speaker 2: To understand the mechanism, you really have to look at
3:06
Speaker 2: the strata of the human body.
3:08
Speaker 1: Okay, so the layers.
3:09
Speaker 2: Exactly. When a blade enters... It slices through multiple distinct
3:13
Speaker 2: layers of tissue. You've got the epidermis, the dermis, the
3:17
Speaker 2: subcutaneous fat, which is adipose tissue, and then down into
3:20
Speaker 2: the fascia, muscle, or organs.
3:23
Speaker 1: Right.
3:23
Speaker 2: And those tissues do not have the same elasticity or
3:26
Speaker 2: structural integrity.
3:27
Speaker 1: So when you pull the knife out, they don't just
3:29
Speaker 1: snap back into place like a perfectly aligned stack of paper.
3:33
Speaker 2: They slide and shift. Subcutaneous fat is essentially this layer
3:38
Speaker 2: of loose connective tissue and lobules of fat cells. It's
3:40
Speaker 2: highly pliable.
3:41
Speaker 1: Right. It moves around. Yeah.
3:43
Speaker 2: When the victim moved or when the blade was withdrawn,
3:46
Speaker 2: those fascial planes and tissue layers shifted completely out of alignment. Wow.
3:50
Speaker 2: And because the fat is soft and somewhat lobular, the
3:54
Speaker 2: internal pressure of the body literally pushed it outward into
3:57
Speaker 2: the wound track created by the knife.
3:58
Speaker 1: That is wild.
3:59
Speaker 2: The fat tissue acted as a makeshift biological cork. It
4:02
Speaker 2: didn't stop the internal bleeding entirely, of course.
4:04
Speaker 1: But it slowed it down. Yes.
4:07
Speaker 2: It provided enough of a mechanical seal to slow the
4:10
Speaker 2: external hemorrhaging. Without that specific anatomical shift, the sheer volume
4:15
Speaker 2: of blood loss from 14 stab wounds would have likely
4:18
Speaker 2: been fatal before the ambulance ever received the call.
4:21
Speaker 1: It is a brutal mechanism, but entirely functional. But here
4:26
Speaker 1: is the thing that really shocked me as I was
4:27
Speaker 1: reading the source material.
4:29
Speaker 2: What's that?
4:29
Speaker 1: I pushed back on the text a bit, thinking, with
4:32
Speaker 1: 14 stab wounds, including one to the neck, mind you...
4:35
Speaker 1: How is this man even conscious?
4:37
Speaker 2: That's a valid question. Right.
4:38
Speaker 1: And he isn't just awake. According to the neighbors and
4:41
Speaker 1: the police body cam transcripts, he is getting angry.
4:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, very agitated.
4:46
Speaker 1: He's actively refusing to answer some of the police officer's
4:49
Speaker 1: questions because he just wants to get in the ambulance.
4:51
Speaker 1: My initial reaction was, how does the human body sustain
4:54
Speaker 1: massive trauma, massive blood loss, and still have the energetic
4:58
Speaker 1: capacity to argue with a cop?
5:00
Speaker 2: You are looking at the absolute peak of the human
5:03
Speaker 2: endocrine system in survival mode there.
5:05
Speaker 1: Really?
5:05
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. The audio captures a massive systemic cascade of
5:09
Speaker 2: adrenaline and cortisol.
5:11
Speaker 1: The fight or flight response.
5:12
Speaker 2: Exactly. The moment the body registers catastrophic trauma, the hypothalamic
5:16
Speaker 2: pituitary adrenal axis, we call it the HPA axis, it
5:20
Speaker 2: just floods the bloodstream with catecholamines. Primarily epinephrine, which we
5:25
Speaker 2: know as adrenaline.
5:26
Speaker 1: So it's basically hot wiring the nervous system to ignore
5:29
Speaker 1: the damage.
5:29
Speaker 2: It is rerouting every available resource to the brain and
5:32
Speaker 2: the heart. The body immediately triggers severe peripheral vasoconstriction.
5:37
Speaker 1: Meaning it shrinks the blood vessels.
5:39
Speaker 2: Yes, in the extremities. It narrows them to keep whatever
5:43
Speaker 2: blood is left centralized around the vital organs. But that
5:46
Speaker 2: adrenaline surge also acts as a profound analgesic.
5:49
Speaker 1: A painkiller. Right.
5:51
Speaker 2: It blocks pain receptors and fuels that sympathetic nervous system's
5:54
Speaker 2: fight-or-flight response.
5:55
Speaker 1: Which explains the agitation.
5:57
Speaker 2: The anger and the refusal to cooperate with police questioning?
6:01
Speaker 2: Those aren't choices being made by a rational, executive, functioning brain.
6:04
Speaker 2: That is a brain reduced to pure, primal survival instinct.
6:08
Speaker 1: That makes so much sense.
6:10
Speaker 2: The police asking questions are perceived by his nervous system,
6:13
Speaker 2: not as helpers, but as obstacles. Yeah. They are delaying
6:17
Speaker 2: his survival, which in his mind is the ambulance. His
6:21
Speaker 2: cognitive processing is just narrowed to a singular focus.
6:24
Speaker 1: Wow. And while he's in this hyper-focused fight for his life,
6:28
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but think about the neighbors. Carl, Don, Jeff.
6:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bystanders.
6:34
Speaker 1: These are not combat medics. They aren't ER promisersians who
6:37
Speaker 1: expect to see blood when they clock in.
6:40
Speaker 2: No, they're just normal people.
6:41
Speaker 1: Don was upstairs working. Carl was in his garage working.
6:45
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about the victim, but the psychological
6:47
Speaker 1: impact on these bystanders has to be staggering.
6:50
Speaker 2: It really is.
6:51
Speaker 1: The cognitive dissonance of sending emails one minute and applying
6:54
Speaker 1: pressure to a gaping neck wound the next, I mean,
6:57
Speaker 1: it completely shatters the illusion of safety that suburbs are
7:00
Speaker 1: built upon.
7:00
Speaker 2: It forces an immediate psychological fracturing. A neighborhood is supposed
7:04
Speaker 2: to be a predictable, controlled environment. When you thrust acute,
7:09
Speaker 2: violent trauma into that space, the brain really struggles to
7:13
Speaker 2: process the reality of it. You can hear it in
7:16
Speaker 2: the way the neighbors communicate with the 911 dispatchers.
7:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's frenzied.
7:20
Speaker 2: There is this desperate attempt to impose order on an
7:23
Speaker 2: entirely chaotic situation. They're operating on pure adrenaline themselves, trying
7:28
Speaker 2: to follow the dispatcher's instructions while watching a man bleed
7:32
Speaker 2: out on the concrete.
7:33
Speaker 1: And as they were waiting for the ambulance, desperately trying
7:36
Speaker 1: to keep this biological seal intact, a completely unpredictable, almost
7:41
Speaker 1: absurd logistical hurdle gets in the way.
7:43
Speaker 2: Oh, the train.
7:44
Speaker 1: I read the transcript and I actually said out loud,
7:47
Speaker 1: you have got to be kidding me.
7:48
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
7:49
Speaker 1: The MedStar ambulance is physically delayed by a passing freight train.
7:53
Speaker 2: The juxtaposition there is incredibly jarring. You have a multi-million
7:57
Speaker 2: dollar high-tech emergency response network, right? Right. Staffed by highly
8:02
Speaker 2: trained paramedics.
8:03
Speaker 1: Right.
8:03
Speaker 2: They're communicating via satellite and radio. And they are brought
8:07
Speaker 2: to a complete standstill by a mid-19th century technology.
8:10
Speaker 1: It's agonizing to read. You have a man bleeding out,
8:13
Speaker 1: neighbors panicking, police calling for an ETA, and the dispatcher
8:16
Speaker 1: just has to say, ah, they're stopped by the train.
8:18
Speaker 1: They should be pulling up shortly. It just underscores how
8:22
Speaker 1: fragile the entire emergency infrastructure really is. You can have
8:25
Speaker 1: all the helicopters and trauma centers in the world, but
8:28
Speaker 1: if a CSX freight train is crossing the road, you
8:31
Speaker 1: just have to sit there and wait.
8:33
Speaker 2: In trauma medicine, time is the single most critical variable.
8:38
Speaker 2: We refer to it as the golden hour.
8:39
Speaker 1: That initial window.
8:40
Speaker 2: Yes, that initial window following traumatic injury where prompt intervention
8:45
Speaker 2: drastically increases the survival rate. Every single minute that ambulance
8:50
Speaker 2: idled at the railroad crossing was a minute of continued
8:53
Speaker 2: tissue hypoxia for the victim.
8:54
Speaker 1: Lack of oxygen.
8:55
Speaker 2: Exactly. It was a minute of dropping blood pressure and
8:59
Speaker 2: decreasing oxygen delivery to the brain. The paramedics know this,
9:03
Speaker 2: which makes sitting at those crossing gates incredibly stressful for
9:06
Speaker 2: the responders as well.
9:07
Speaker 1: Because the physiological clock doesn't care about traffic. But despite
9:11
Speaker 1: that delay, the paramedics do finally arrive. They take over
9:15
Speaker 1: and they are managing the immediate physical crisis. Right. But
9:19
Speaker 1: the most shocking part of this entire triage scene wasn't
9:22
Speaker 1: the sheer number of wounds on his body. It was
9:24
Speaker 1: his answer to a very specific question.
9:26
Speaker 2: When the police press him. Yeah.
9:28
Speaker 1: When the police finally press him on what happened, he
9:32
Speaker 1: tells them his girlfriend of three years, a 29-year-old named
9:35
Speaker 1: Jennifer Hayes, attacked him while he was sleeping. Right. And
9:39
Speaker 1: then he drops a detail that forces the medics to
9:41
Speaker 1: slam the brakes on their entire treatment plan.
9:44
Speaker 2: When the officer asks what time the attack happened, the
9:47
Speaker 2: victim says it started at 11.00 a.m.
9:49
Speaker 1: And it is now just after 5.00 p.m.
9:51
Speaker 2: This is the timeline anomaly that completely upends the situation.
9:54
Speaker 2: We are looking at a six-hour gap.
9:56
Speaker 1: Six hours.
9:57
Speaker 2: From 11.00 a.m. to nearly 5.00 p.m. p.m., this man
10:01
Speaker 2: was inside his house bleeding from 14 stab wounds.
10:04
Speaker 1: I was looking at the medical logs in the transcript,
10:06
Speaker 1: and the medics bring out this drug called TXA. From
10:10
Speaker 1: what I understand, it's basically a miracle drug used in
10:12
Speaker 1: trauma care to prevent people from bleeding to death.
10:15
Speaker 2: It is, yeah.
10:16
Speaker 1: So my first instinct reading that was, great, he has
10:18
Speaker 1: 14 stab wounds, pump him full of it immediately. But
10:22
Speaker 1: the transcript shows the medics hesitating the second he says
10:25
Speaker 1: the attack happened at 11 a.m. Right.
10:28
Speaker 2: They stop.
10:29
Speaker 1: Why does a six-hour delay suddenly turn a life-saving drug
10:33
Speaker 1: into a liability?
10:34
Speaker 2: The reason for that hard pivot lies in the specific
10:37
Speaker 2: mechanism of how TXH, tranexamic acid, operates on the human
10:41
Speaker 2: body's clotting cascade. Okay.
10:43
Speaker 1: Wait, Armin.
10:44
Speaker 2: It is vital to understand that TXA does not create clots.
10:48
Speaker 2: It is not a coagulant. It is an antifibrinolytic.
10:51
Speaker 1: Okay, let me make sure I'm following this. When I
10:53
Speaker 1: get a cut, my body sends platelets to form a plug, right?
10:56
Speaker 2: Correct.
10:57
Speaker 1: And then it creates a fibrin mesh to hold that
10:59
Speaker 1: plug together, kind of like throwing a cargo net over
11:02
Speaker 1: a pile of sandbags. That's coagulation.
11:04
Speaker 2: That is the coagulation cascade. Yes, very good analogy. But
11:07
Speaker 2: the body is constantly seeking homeostasis.
11:10
Speaker 1: Right.
11:10
Speaker 2: It doesn't want those clots to last forever. Or they
11:12
Speaker 2: could travel and cause a stroke or a pulmonary embolism.
11:16
Speaker 2: So simultaneously, your body releases an enzyme called plasmin.
11:20
Speaker 1: Okay.
11:21
Speaker 2: And plasmin acts like molecular scissors to slowly cut that
11:25
Speaker 2: fibrin cargonate apart and break the clot down. That breakdown
11:28
Speaker 2: process is called fibrinolysis. Okay.
11:31
Speaker 1: So in severe trauma, does the body panic and start
11:34
Speaker 1: cutting the net too fast?
11:36
Speaker 2: It goes into overdrive. It's called hyperfibrinolysis. The body breaks
11:40
Speaker 2: down the life-saving clots faster than it can build them,
11:43
Speaker 2: which leads to catastrophic bleeding.
11:45
Speaker 1: Wow.
11:45
Speaker 2: TXA works by binding to the receptors on the plasmid,
11:49
Speaker 2: effectively putting a cap on those molecular scissors. It tells
11:52
Speaker 2: the body, stop breaking down the clots. Leave the net alone.
11:55
Speaker 1: Which sounds exactly like what you would want for a
11:58
Speaker 1: man bleeding out in a driveway.
11:59
Speaker 2: It is. But clinical data, specifically from massive global studies
12:03
Speaker 2: like the CRASH-H2 trial... revealed a highly strict physiological window
12:08
Speaker 2: for this.
12:09
Speaker 1: How strict?
12:09
Speaker 2: TXA must be administered within three hours of the initial injury.
12:13
Speaker 2: If you administer TXA after the three-hour mark, the patient's
12:16
Speaker 2: risk of death actually increases.
12:18
Speaker 1: Wait, really?
12:19
Speaker 2: Why?
12:19
Speaker 1: What changes in the body after three hours?
12:21
Speaker 2: The body's physiological state transitions. After three hours of severe
12:25
Speaker 2: trauma and hypoprofusion, which is a lack of blood flow,
12:29
Speaker 2: the body often switches from a state of hyperfibrinolysis to
12:32
Speaker 2: a state where it is no longer breaking down clots
12:35
Speaker 2: at all. It just stops.
12:36
Speaker 1: Yes.
12:37
Speaker 2: So if you introduce TXA into that environment, you heavily
12:40
Speaker 2: tip the scales toward fatal unwanted blood clots. You risk
12:44
Speaker 2: causing a massive stroke, a heart attack, or pulmonary embolisms.
12:48
Speaker 1: Wow. So when the paramedic hears him say 11-0 a.m.,
12:52
Speaker 1: the math just clicks in his head.
12:54
Speaker 2: Exactly.
12:54
Speaker 1: They are six hours post-injury. The window for this drug
12:58
Speaker 1: hasn't just closed. It has slammed shut and locked.
13:01
Speaker 2: The transcript actually captures a paramedic asking the victim, you've
13:04
Speaker 2: been like this for that long. You can hear the
13:06
Speaker 2: clinical recalibration in real time.
13:09
Speaker 1: They have to change everything.
13:10
Speaker 2: They have to entirely abandon pharmacological intervention. They must rely
13:13
Speaker 2: strictly on mechanical pressure, IV fluids to maintain blood pressure,
13:17
Speaker 2: and rapid transport to a trauma surgeon.
13:19
Speaker 1: Here's where it gets really interesting. Because as a listener,
13:22
Speaker 1: your first instinct might be to doubt the victim's memory, right?
13:25
Speaker 2: Sure. He's in shock.
13:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. You might think he's in shock. He's traumatized. There's
13:31
Speaker 1: absolutely no way he survived for six hours with a
13:34
Speaker 1: punctured neck and chest. He must have the time wrong.
13:36
Speaker 2: It's a natural assumption.
13:37
Speaker 1: But the police dispatch officers to quickly clear the house
13:41
Speaker 1: just to ensure the suspect isn't still inside. And the
13:44
Speaker 1: physical evidence they find in the living room immediately corroborates
13:48
Speaker 1: his seemingly impossible timeline.
13:50
Speaker 2: The officers note over the radio that the massive amounts
13:53
Speaker 2: of blood pooled inside the house are already completely dried.
13:57
Speaker 1: And blood does not dry quickly.
13:59
Speaker 2: It doesn't. When blood exits the body, it initially pools
14:03
Speaker 2: as a viscous liquid. Depending on the ambient temperature of
14:06
Speaker 2: a Michigan summer, the indoor humidity, and the sheer volume
14:09
Speaker 2: of the fluid, a massive blood pool can take several
14:12
Speaker 2: hours to fully congeal. Right. That's to separate into serum
14:16
Speaker 2: and dry into a solid state. The presence of dried,
14:20
Speaker 2: flaking blood definitively tells the officers that this was not
14:23
Speaker 2: a fresh attack that spilled out into the driveway minutes ago.
14:26
Speaker 1: It's proof. Yes.
14:28
Speaker 2: The scene had been sitting completely undisturbed for hours.
14:31
Speaker 1: I want to pause here and really think about the
14:33
Speaker 1: terrifying void of those six hours. The transcript tells us
14:36
Speaker 1: he was attacked while he was sleeping. Yes. Imagine waking
14:40
Speaker 1: up to the ultimate betrayal. The person you have shared
14:42
Speaker 1: your life with for three years is standing over you
14:45
Speaker 1: with a knife. You sustain 14 wounds and then a void.
14:51
Speaker 2: A total blackout, essentially.
14:52
Speaker 1: From 11.50 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., what is happening in
14:57
Speaker 1: that house? Is he held hostage, physically unable to reach
15:01
Speaker 1: a phone while she's still pacing around? Or did the
15:03
Speaker 1: sheer volume of blood loss just shut his system down?
15:07
Speaker 2: Medically speaking, he was almost certainly drifting through the stages
15:10
Speaker 2: of hypovolemic shock.
15:11
Speaker 1: Meaning low blood volume.
15:13
Speaker 2: Exactly. As blood volume drops, the brain is deprived of oxygen.
15:17
Speaker 2: It is highly probable he lost consciousness multiple times.
15:20
Speaker 1: Just passing out.
15:21
Speaker 2: He may have been lying on that living room floor
15:23
Speaker 2: for hours, waking up, passing out, and waking up again,
15:26
Speaker 2: while the blood around him literally began to dry.
15:29
Speaker 1: The sheer force of will it takes to finally break
15:32
Speaker 1: out of that cycle. I mean, your blood pressure is
15:33
Speaker 1: practically non-existent.
15:35
Speaker 2: You're incredibly weak.
15:36
Speaker 1: But some deep primal part of the brain finally screams,
15:39
Speaker 1: if I stay on this floor, I am going to die.
15:41
Speaker 1: And he drags himself outside into the bright July daylight
15:45
Speaker 1: to scream for help.
15:46
Speaker 2: It's a testament to human resilience that is almost difficult
15:49
Speaker 2: to comprehend.
15:50
Speaker 1: It really is. But from a law enforcement perspective, confirming
15:53
Speaker 1: that six hour gap forces a massive immediate tactical shift.
15:57
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
15:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:58
Speaker 2: Because they now know she had a six hour head start.
16:02
Speaker 1: The immediate physical threat of an ambush in the neighborhood
16:05
Speaker 1: goes down. But the forensic stakes skyrocket. She left at
16:09
Speaker 1: 1130 a.m. She could be in Ohio. She could be
16:12
Speaker 1: in Canada. Right.
16:13
Speaker 2: They have to pivot instantly from a reactionary hot pursuit
16:17
Speaker 2: to a highly methodical scene investigation.
16:19
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the actual clearing of the house.
16:21
Speaker 1: The police step through the front door. They are describing
16:23
Speaker 1: this over the radio.
16:25
Speaker 2: It's very tense.
16:26
Speaker 1: They find the dried blood trails leading through the house.
16:29
Speaker 1: They make their way to the master bedroom and they
16:31
Speaker 1: find a weapon left behind on the bed. A large
16:35
Speaker 1: K-bar knife.
16:36
Speaker 2: A very specific type of weapon.
16:37
Speaker 1: Now, I know a little bit about the K-Bar because
16:39
Speaker 1: of its military history. It was adopted by the Marine
16:42
Speaker 1: Corps back in World War II, right?
16:43
Speaker 2: That's correct. A K-Bar is a specific style of fixed-blade
16:47
Speaker 2: combat and utility knife. It typically features a 7-inch carbon
16:52
Speaker 2: steel blade, a pronounced clip point, and a heavy-duty handle.
16:57
Speaker 2: It's massive. It was explicitly designed for lethality and rigorous
17:01
Speaker 2: field use.
17:02
Speaker 1: Does the discovery of a military style combat knife in
17:07
Speaker 1: a suburban master bedroom immediately escalate the severity of the charges?
17:12
Speaker 2: It certainly changes the context.
17:13
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't a situation where two people are
17:15
Speaker 1: arguing in the kitchen and someone grabs a steak knife
17:18
Speaker 1: off the counter in a heat of the moment panic.
17:20
Speaker 1: Bringing a combat knife into a bedroom feels intensely premeditated.
17:24
Speaker 2: It speaks volumes about intent. which is the foundational pillar
17:28
Speaker 2: of the prosecution's eventual case. While the specific brand or
17:32
Speaker 2: style of the knife doesn't automatically change the statutory definition
17:35
Speaker 2: of an assault charge, prosecutors rely heavily on the nature
17:38
Speaker 2: of the weapon to demonstrate intent to murder to a jury.
17:42
Speaker 2: That makes sense. When you utilize a fixed blade weapon
17:46
Speaker 2: designed for military combat on a victim who is asleep,
17:49
Speaker 2: it systematically dismantles any potential defense argument of a spontaneous
17:54
Speaker 2: domestic dispute or self-defense.
17:56
Speaker 1: You can't say it was an accident.
17:57
Speaker 2: Exactly. The weapon itself implies a calculated decision to inflict
18:02
Speaker 2: lethal force.
18:03
Speaker 1: The atmosphere of that police sweep must have been so tense.
18:07
Speaker 1: You know, you are stepping through a silent house, following
18:10
Speaker 1: a trail of dried blood, climbing the stairs to a
18:13
Speaker 1: master bedroom.
18:14
Speaker 2: Not knowing who is there.
18:15
Speaker 1: Right, not knowing for absolute certain if the person capable
18:18
Speaker 1: of inflicting 14 stab wounds is hiding in the primary closet.
18:22
Speaker 2: It's terrifying.
18:22
Speaker 1: But they clear the house, Jennifer is gone, and the
18:25
Speaker 1: victim manages to mention one more crucial detail to the
18:28
Speaker 1: officers before he is loaded into the ambulance. She took
18:31
Speaker 1: his cell phone.
18:32
Speaker 2: Specifically, he mentions it is a Metro PCS phone.
18:35
Speaker 1: What's fascinating here is how the on-the-ground decision-making becomes highly
18:40
Speaker 1: pragmatic at this point.
18:41
Speaker 2: Yes, you have a missing suspect, a six-hour head start,
18:44
Speaker 2: and a stolen phone.
18:46
Speaker 1: In the transcript, one of the officers asks over the
18:49
Speaker 1: radio if they should request a canine unit to track
18:51
Speaker 1: Jennifer's scent.
18:53
Speaker 2: And this is a really interesting moment.
18:55
Speaker 1: I was reading up on how these canine units actually
18:57
Speaker 1: work because I always assumed they were just like smelling
18:59
Speaker 1: footsteps on the grass.
19:00
Speaker 2: It's the movie version.
19:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. But it turns out they are tracking microscopic skin rafts. Right.
19:06
Speaker 1: And I assume a six hour delay completely ruins that process.
19:10
Speaker 2: That is the exact mechanism. Humans shed roughly 40,000 microscopic
19:16
Speaker 2: skin cells every single minute.
19:17
Speaker 1: 40,000 a minute.
19:19
Speaker 2: Every minute. These are called skin rafts. As you walk,
19:21
Speaker 2: these rafts fall off your body like an invisible snowstorm.
19:25
Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
19:25
Speaker 2: Bacteria on the ground then begin to break down these
19:28
Speaker 2: skin cells, which produces a highly specific localized odor. That
19:33
Speaker 2: bacterial breakdown is what the tracking dogs are primarily smelling.
19:37
Speaker 1: That is incredible. So when the officer on the radio
19:39
Speaker 1: immediately shoots down the idea of bringing in the dogs,
19:42
Speaker 1: it's not because they don't have dogs available.
19:44
Speaker 2: No, it's because the scene is completely compromised.
19:47
Speaker 1: Right.
19:48
Speaker 2: The officer explicitly cited the foot traffic and the time delay.
19:52
Speaker 2: Think about what happened before the police even arrived.
19:55
Speaker 1: The neighbors.
19:55
Speaker 2: Right. Carl, Dawn, and Jeff ran across the lawn and
19:58
Speaker 2: up the driveway. Then the first wave of police officers arrived.
20:02
Speaker 2: Then the paramedics arrived with their gear.
20:04
Speaker 1: It's a mess.
20:06
Speaker 2: Every single one of those individuals dropped their own skin
20:09
Speaker 2: rafts all over the crime scene, cross-contaminating the suspect's original
20:13
Speaker 2: scent trail.
20:13
Speaker 1: They essentially erased her footprint by stepping all over it.
20:17
Speaker 2: Combine that massive cross-contamination with a six-hour time delay in
20:21
Speaker 2: the heat of a Michigan July. The ultraviolet light and
20:25
Speaker 2: the heat rapidly degrade the bacteria and the scent molecules.
20:28
Speaker 1: It just destroys the evidence.
20:30
Speaker 2: A highly trained dog would arrive. be completely overwhelmed by
20:33
Speaker 2: the fresh, overpowering scent of the paramedics and police, and
20:36
Speaker 2: be entirely unable to isolate a cold, six-hour-old trail.
20:40
Speaker 1: So the dog wouldn't even know where to start.
20:42
Speaker 2: Exactly. The officer on the radio understands the science of
20:45
Speaker 2: the scene. Calling the dog is a waste of time
20:48
Speaker 2: and resources.
20:49
Speaker 1: So instead of dogs, they pivot to digital tracking. Taking
20:53
Speaker 1: his Metro PCS phone was likely an attempt by Jennifer
20:57
Speaker 1: to prevent him from calling 911 while he bled out.
21:00
Speaker 2: Which is common in these situations.
21:02
Speaker 1: But ironically, she put a digital leash on herself.
21:05
Speaker 2: The moment law enforcement knows she has a mobile device,
21:08
Speaker 2: they can bypass physical tracking entirely.
21:10
Speaker 1: How so?
21:11
Speaker 2: Police can initiate exigent circumstance protocols to contact the cellular provider,
21:15
Speaker 2: in this case, MetroPCS. And they request an emergency ping
21:21
Speaker 2: on the phone's International Mobile Subscriber Identity, or IMSI number.
21:25
Speaker 1: How does that actually work on a technical level? Are
21:27
Speaker 1: they just... Turning on the GPS remotely?
21:31
Speaker 2: Not necessarily GPS, which could be turned off by the user.
21:34
Speaker 2: They use cell tower triangulation, or more accurately, trilateration.
21:38
Speaker 1: Trilateration.
21:38
Speaker 2: Okay, even if the phone's GPS is disabled, the device
21:41
Speaker 2: is constantly sending out a signal to connect to the
21:43
Speaker 2: nearest cell towers to maintain service.
21:45
Speaker 1: Because it needs to know when a call comes in.
21:47
Speaker 2: Exactly. The network measures the time of flight, how long
21:51
Speaker 2: it takes the signal to reach multiple towers, and the
21:54
Speaker 2: signal strength.
21:55
Speaker 1: Right.
21:56
Speaker 2: By calculating the intersection of those signals from three or
21:58
Speaker 2: more towers, the provider can give law enforcement a highly
22:02
Speaker 2: accurate geographic radius of where that phone is located.
22:06
Speaker 1: It's just a brilliant, pragmatic pivot. They don't waste hours
22:11
Speaker 1: on a dead-end canine search. They secure the physical evidence,
22:14
Speaker 1: they identify the suspect, and they immediately move to digital forensics.
22:18
Speaker 2: That's very efficient.
22:19
Speaker 1: And the cell phone ping works. They locate her. But
22:22
Speaker 1: as we see in the source material, catching the suspect
22:25
Speaker 1: is only the first half of the battle.
22:26
Speaker 2: Sadly, yes.
22:27
Speaker 1: The next phase of the legal system proves to be
22:29
Speaker 1: an absolute marathon, and this is where the timeline shifts
22:32
Speaker 1: from hours to years.
22:34
Speaker 2: The transition from the acute life-or-death physical trauma of July
22:37
Speaker 2: 3rd to the grinding bureaucratic machinery of the legal system
22:41
Speaker 2: is often the most frustrating and difficult part for victims
22:44
Speaker 2: to navigate.
22:45
Speaker 1: I can only imagine.
22:46
Speaker 2: According to the court records, just two days later, on
22:49
Speaker 2: July 5th, Jennifer Hayes is formally arraigned, and charged with
22:53
Speaker 2: assault with intent to murder and aggravated domestic violence.
22:57
Speaker 1: And the judge sets her bond at $ 1. 4 million.
23:01
Speaker 2: A huge sum.
23:03
Speaker 1: Now, when I first read that number, I thought, okay, $ 1. 4 million.
23:06
Speaker 1: That is a massive punitive number. She is going to
23:10
Speaker 1: be sitting in a county jail cell until her trial.
23:13
Speaker 2: That's what most people would assume.
23:14
Speaker 1: But incredibly, the records show she posts that bond. She
23:17
Speaker 1: posts it and she is released immediately. She is free
23:20
Speaker 1: for an entire year awaiting trial. How on earth does
23:24
Speaker 1: a 29-year-old come up with $ 1. 4 million in 48 hours?
23:28
Speaker 2: We really need to dive deep into the mechanics of
23:31
Speaker 2: the bail system here because it is a concept that
23:33
Speaker 2: frequently confuses the public.
23:35
Speaker 1: I'm kind of confused by it.
23:36
Speaker 2: When a judge sets a $ 1. 4 million bond, unless it
23:39
Speaker 2: is specifically designated as a cash-only bond, the defendant does
23:43
Speaker 2: not have to hand a briefcase containing $ 1. 4 million in
23:45
Speaker 2: cash to the court clerk. Okay. In Michigan, you can
23:48
Speaker 2: utilize a surety bond. Through a licensed bail bondsman.
23:52
Speaker 1: So the bondsman puts up the money for you, but
23:54
Speaker 1: they charge a fee.
23:55
Speaker 2: Exactly. Typically, a bail bondsman requires a non-refundable premium, which
24:01
Speaker 2: is legally capped in many jurisdictions at about 10% of
24:04
Speaker 2: the total bond amount. So 10% of $ 1.
24:05
Speaker 1: 4 million?
24:05
Speaker 2: That is still $ 140, 000.
24:06
Speaker 1: It is $ 140, 000 in liquid cash that she will never
24:07
Speaker 1: get back, regardless of whether she is found innocent or guilty. Wow.
24:19
Speaker 2: It is the bondsman's fee for taking on the financial risk.
24:22
Speaker 2: But the bondsman doesn't just take the $ 140, 000 and shake hands.
24:26
Speaker 2: They require collateral for the remaining $ 1. 26 million.
24:30
Speaker 1: Collateral like what?
24:31
Speaker 2: That means signing over the deeds to houses, titles to vehicles,
24:35
Speaker 2: or freezing investment accounts. If she flees the state, the
24:39
Speaker 2: bondsman is legally on the hook to pay the court
24:41
Speaker 2: the full $ 1.
24:42
Speaker 1: 4 million. Oh, I see.
24:44
Speaker 2: And they will immediately seize all of that collateral to
24:46
Speaker 2: cover their loss.
24:47
Speaker 1: Even with a bondsman liquidating $ 140, 000 in cash and securing
24:51
Speaker 1: over a million dollars in collateral in a matter of
24:53
Speaker 1: two days, that's a massive financial hurdle.
24:56
Speaker 2: It's astronomical for most people.
24:58
Speaker 1: It strongly suggests she had significant familial support or access
25:02
Speaker 1: to substantial personal assets.
25:04
Speaker 2: It highlights a persistent critique of the cash bail system, actually.
25:08
Speaker 1: Which is what?
25:09
Speaker 2: That pretrial detention is often determined by wealth. rather than
25:13
Speaker 2: the severity of the alleged crime or the danger to
25:16
Speaker 2: the community.
25:17
Speaker 1: So what does this all mean for the victim? Think
25:21
Speaker 1: about the psychological toll of this timeline.
25:23
Speaker 2: It's devastating.
25:24
Speaker 1: You survive the unimaginable. You survive a sleep ambush with
25:28
Speaker 1: a K-bar knife. You survive bleeding on your living room
25:31
Speaker 1: floor for six hours. You find the strength to crawl outside.
25:35
Speaker 1: You endure the agonizing wait for the train. You undergo
25:38
Speaker 1: emergency surgery.
25:39
Speaker 2: That's a gauntlet.
25:40
Speaker 1: The police track her down and arrest her. you finally
25:43
Speaker 1: think you are safe. And two days later, you get
25:46
Speaker 1: a phone call saying she posted Bon and is walking
25:48
Speaker 1: the streets.
25:49
Speaker 2: Right back out there.
25:50
Speaker 1: For a year, you have to live with the knowledge
25:53
Speaker 1: that the woman who tried to slaughter you is out
25:55
Speaker 1: there going to the grocery store, living her life.
25:59
Speaker 2: The psychological terror of that year-long wait must have been
26:02
Speaker 2: completely paralyzing for him.
26:04
Speaker 1: I can't even fathom it.
26:05
Speaker 2: The justice system operates on the fundamental constitutional presumption of innocence,
26:10
Speaker 2: which is why bail exists in the first place. But
26:13
Speaker 2: the reality for victims of severe violent crime is often
26:16
Speaker 2: a prolonged, agonizing state of anxiety and hypervigilance.
26:20
Speaker 1: Because the system moves so slowly.
26:23
Speaker 2: It moves at a glacial pace. It isn't until November
26:26
Speaker 2: of 2025, over a year after the attack, that she
26:30
Speaker 2: finally faces a jury in Macomb County.
26:33
Speaker 1: The trial lasts five and a half days. And the
26:35
Speaker 1: source material reveals another terrifying detail that came out during
26:38
Speaker 1: those proceedings. She didn't just use the K-bar knife.
26:41
Speaker 2: No, she didn't.
26:42
Speaker 1: The forensics and testimony revealed she actually used two different
26:45
Speaker 1: knives during the attack.
26:47
Speaker 2: Introducing a second weapon into the narrative during trial is
26:50
Speaker 2: a devastating blow to the defense.
26:52
Speaker 1: Why is that so crucial?
26:53
Speaker 2: Because using multiple weapons strongly suggests an escalation of violence
26:58
Speaker 2: or a sustained, determined effort to kill. If a defense
27:01
Speaker 2: attorney attempts to construct a narrative of an accidental stabbing
27:04
Speaker 2: during a heated argument or a self-defense scenario where the
27:08
Speaker 2: defendant grabbed whatever was closest... The presence of a second
27:11
Speaker 2: knife shatters that defense.
27:13
Speaker 1: Right. Because you don't accidentally grab a second knife.
27:15
Speaker 2: Exactly.
27:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:17
Speaker 2: It implies she either bought two weapons to the bed
27:19
Speaker 2: or she paused the attack to retrieve a second weapon
27:22
Speaker 2: when the first one failed.
27:23
Speaker 1: That is chilling.
27:24
Speaker 2: It shows deep calculated intent. And the Macomb County jury
27:28
Speaker 2: clearly agreed with that assessment. They convicted her of assault
27:31
Speaker 2: with intent to murder.
27:33
Speaker 1: But the sentence, this is where I was genuinely confused
27:36
Speaker 1: and want your perspective. She is convicted of assault with
27:39
Speaker 1: intent to murder. to murder. The transcript notes she was
27:42
Speaker 1: staring down a potential life sentence. But the judge ultimately
27:46
Speaker 1: sentences her to 10.5 to 30 years at the Women's
27:49
Speaker 1: Huron Valley Correctional Facility. Her earliest possible release date is
27:53
Speaker 1: February of 2036. Why the disparity? How does an unprovoked
27:58
Speaker 1: sleep ambush attack involving 14 stab wounds and two knives
28:02
Speaker 1: not automatically trigger a life sentence?
28:04
Speaker 2: Sentencing is an incredibly complex mathematical matrix. In Michigan, Judges
28:09
Speaker 2: do not just pick a number out of thin air.
28:11
Speaker 1: They have a system.
28:12
Speaker 2: They are legally bound to weigh statutory sentencing guidelines. These
28:17
Speaker 2: guidelines are a rigid grid system based on two main axes,
28:21
Speaker 2: offense variables, or OVs, and prior record variables, or PRVs.
28:26
Speaker 1: So the severity of the crime is on one side
28:28
Speaker 1: and your rap sheet is on the other.
28:30
Speaker 2: Precisely. The judge scores points for how severe the crime was.
28:34
Speaker 2: Using a weapon adds points, psychological injury to the victim
28:38
Speaker 2: adds points, Severe physical injury adds points.
28:40
Speaker 1: Okay, so she maxed out the offense side.
28:42
Speaker 2: Likely, yes. But if Jennifer Hayes had a prior record
28:45
Speaker 2: variable score of zero, meaning no prior violent criminal history,
28:49
Speaker 2: the mathematical intersection on that grid would recommend a minimum
28:53
Speaker 2: sentence significantly lower than life in prison.
28:55
Speaker 1: So a pristine record essentially buys you leniency, even if
28:59
Speaker 1: your very first offense is stabbing someone 14 times in
29:01
Speaker 1: the neck and chest.
29:02
Speaker 2: The guidelines are designed to create uniformity across the state,
29:05
Speaker 2: ensuring that first-time offenders generally receive less harsh sentences than
29:09
Speaker 2: habitual repeat violent offenders.
29:11
Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense systemically, but in this specific case,
29:15
Speaker 1: it feels so disproportionate.
29:17
Speaker 2: The judge also heavily considers pre-sentence investigation reports prepared by
29:22
Speaker 2: probation officers, psychological evaluations of the defendant, and potential mitigating factors.
29:28
Speaker 1: And Michigan uses indeterminate sentencing, right? Hence the 10.5 to
29:32
Speaker 1: 30 range.
29:33
Speaker 2: Yes. The judge sets a minimum and a maximum. The
29:37
Speaker 2: sentence of 10.5 to 30 years means the absolute minimum
29:41
Speaker 2: time she must serve behind bars is 10 and a
29:44
Speaker 2: half years before she's even eligible to have a hearing
29:46
Speaker 2: before the parole board.
29:48
Speaker 1: Okay, so the judge isn't letting her out at 10 years.
29:50
Speaker 2: No, the judge doesn't decide when she gets out. The
29:52
Speaker 2: parole board does. After 10.5 years, the board evaluates her
29:56
Speaker 2: behavior in prison and and determines if she's rehabilitated enough
29:59
Speaker 2: to safely reenter society.
30:00
Speaker 1: And if they don't think she is.
30:02
Speaker 2: If they continually deny her parole, the Department of Corrections
30:05
Speaker 2: has the authority to hold her for the maximum tail
30:07
Speaker 2: of that sentence, the full 30 years keeping her incarcerated
30:10
Speaker 2: until 2055. Wow. Okay.
30:12
Speaker 1: Along with the prison time, she was ordered to have
30:15
Speaker 1: no contact with the victim and to pay him restitution
30:19
Speaker 1: under the Victim Crimes Rights Act. Right. The transcript specifically
30:22
Speaker 1: notes that the victim is still receiving ongoing medical and
30:25
Speaker 1: therapeutic treatment due to the stabbing.
30:28
Speaker 2: And that phrase, therapy to treatment, is a vital, sobering
30:31
Speaker 2: reminder of the scope of this event.
30:34
Speaker 1: It really is.
30:35
Speaker 2: The criminal justice system formally closed the file the moment
30:39
Speaker 2: she was transported to Huron Valley. The judge hit the gavel.
30:43
Speaker 2: The prosecutors moved on to their next stack of files.
30:46
Speaker 2: The bondsman released the collateral.
30:47
Speaker 1: The machine keeps turning.
30:49
Speaker 2: But the victim's personal timeline of recovery is really just beginning.
30:53
Speaker 2: He is facing years of physical therapy to deal with
30:55
Speaker 2: potential nerve damage, severed muscle tissue, and massive scar tissue
31:00
Speaker 2: from 14 deep puncture wounds.
31:02
Speaker 1: And the psychological therapy. How do you treat the profound
31:06
Speaker 1: PTSD of sleep betrayal?
31:08
Speaker 2: It's incredibly difficult.
31:09
Speaker 1: The bedroom is supposed to be the most vulnerable, safe
31:12
Speaker 1: space in a person's life. How do you ever close
31:15
Speaker 1: your eyes and fall asleep next to someone again knowing
31:18
Speaker 1: what happened the last time you did?
31:19
Speaker 2: You don't, or at least not easily. It requires years
31:23
Speaker 2: of intense cognitive behavioral therapy to rewire the brain's threat response.
31:28
Speaker 1: Because his brain still thinks he's in danger.
31:30
Speaker 2: Exactly. The physical wounds eventually close and scar over, but
31:34
Speaker 2: the psychological hypervigilance can last a lifetime. The gavel falling
31:39
Speaker 2: in the courtroom is a conclusion for the state, but
31:42
Speaker 2: it is a lifelong sentence of recovery for the victim.
31:45
Speaker 1: If we pull back and synthesize what we've unpacked today,
31:47
Speaker 1: it's just a stark look at the fragility of human
31:50
Speaker 1: life and, paradoxically, the miraculous resilience of the human body.
31:54
Speaker 2: It's a study in extremes.
31:55
Speaker 1: Truly. We saw how something as simple and unglamorous as
31:59
Speaker 1: subcutaneous fat shifting out of alignment can act as a
32:01
Speaker 1: biological cork and prevent a man from bleeding to death.
32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:05
Speaker 1: We saw the profound power of the endocrine system fueling
32:08
Speaker 1: a man to survive a six-hour bleed. We also got
32:11
Speaker 1: a very grounding look at the reality of emergency response
32:14
Speaker 1: and police work.
32:15
Speaker 2: The realities on the ground are often very different from
32:17
Speaker 2: what we expect. Right.
32:19
Speaker 1: Ambulances stopped by freight trains, police rejecting canine units because
32:23
Speaker 1: of microscopic skin rafts and cross-contamination, relying instead on the
32:28
Speaker 1: digital pragmatism of cell phone tower trilateration.
32:31
Speaker 2: It's fascinating.
32:32
Speaker 1: And we navigated the often jarring mechanics of the bail
32:36
Speaker 1: and sentencing system, where a $ 1. 4 million bond is just
32:40
Speaker 1: a math problem if you have the right collateral.
32:43
Speaker 2: It is a comprehensive cross-section of what happens when the
32:46
Speaker 2: absolute worst of human nature collides with the sprawling systems
32:50
Speaker 2: we have built to handle it. Medical, tactical, and legal.
32:53
Speaker 1: It is so much to process. The source material provides
32:56
Speaker 1: us with all the structural facts laid out in chronological order.
32:59
Speaker 2: Who, what, when, and where.
33:00
Speaker 1: Right. We know the exact time of the 911 dispatch.
33:04
Speaker 1: We know the physiological mechanics of the medical response. We
33:07
Speaker 1: know the exact days spent in court, the mathematical matrix
33:10
Speaker 1: of the prison sentence, the name of the correctional facility.
33:13
Speaker 2: The hard data.
33:14
Speaker 1: But for you listening, I want to leave you with
33:15
Speaker 1: a thought to mull over that isn't about the legal mechanics,
33:19
Speaker 1: the pharmacology of TXA, or the science of cell towers.
33:23
Speaker 1: The true mystery of this deep dive is deeply, profoundly human.
33:27
Speaker 2: Which is?
33:28
Speaker 1: Think about that six-hour gap between 11.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m.
33:32
Speaker 1: We know when the attack started and we know when
33:34
Speaker 1: the silence ended. We know the blood on the floor dried. Yes.
33:37
Speaker 1: But what does it take for a human being betrayed
33:40
Speaker 1: in their most vulnerable state, bleeding out on the floor
33:42
Speaker 1: of their own home to survive those silent, agonizing hours?
33:46
Speaker 1: What kind of internal, unfathomable reservoir do you have to
33:49
Speaker 1: tap into to endure that darkness and finally find the
33:52
Speaker 1: strength to drag yourself out the door and crawl into
33:54
Speaker 1: the daylight?
