  Speaker 1: I'm Jennifer Gould. It was a grandmother's worst knife mare
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that spiraled into a terrifying ordeal for a sixty seven
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: year old grandmother Kenny McCarthy was simply tending to her
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: roses in her Phoenix front yard in March of twenty
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: twenty four when six US Marshals rifles drawn swarmed her property,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: mistaking her for a fugitive in a jaw dropping blunder
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that landed her in jail and now in a federal lawsuit.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: McCarthy is suing the US Marshal Service for a salt battery,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: false arrest, and constitutional violations after a traumatic twenty four
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: hour nightmare that left her fearing for her life. McCarthy
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: has now relocated from Arizona and says she remains haunted
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: by the ordeal, constantly fearing another wrongful arrest. She spoke
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to ABC fifteen News.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I'm mad, I'm hurt all of a sudden, I'm on antidepressants,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I'm on medicine to sleep at night, all because somebody
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: didn't do their job right in the government.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: The Marshalls believed McCarthy was Carol Ann Rozack, a seventy
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: year old Oklahoma fugitive wanted for a nineteen ninety nine
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: parole violation tied to nonviolent crimes. Bodycam footage from the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: terrifying encounter. Captures the Chaos agents were caught barking commands
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: as a bewildered McCarthy repeatedly pleaded, it was a mistake.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Take a listen, rest warrant, yes for you?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Who am I turn away? Gonna get hit?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: McCarthy was handcuffed and hauled away from her home without
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: any answers. Taken to a federal detention center in Florence, Arizona,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: McCarthy was subjected to unimaginable humiliation. She endured not one,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but three invasive strip searches, and had her fingerprints taken
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and DNA collected, and spent a sleepless, frigid night in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a cold cell, desperately insisting she wasn't rozac. While investigators
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: initially claimed McCarthy's fingerprints matched the fugitives, further analysis quickly
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: proved they didn't, leading to her eventual release. Prosecutors later
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: admitted they hadn't even had an analyst available to verify
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the prince when she was first arrested. The entire case
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was dismissed in April of twenty twenty four after prosecutors
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: admitted they had insufficient evidence, relying only on flimsy Facebook
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: posts and aliases to pursue the original warrant represented by
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the Institute for Justice. McCarthy's lawsuit demands both compensatory and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: punitive damages. The seventy nine page lawsuit alleges the marshals
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: failed to run basic checks to confirm McCarthy's ID, including
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: checking her photo ID her driver's license. While the Marshal's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Service acknowledge the mistake, they have offered no formal apology
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: for the egregious error. The Department of Justice's Inspector General
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is now investigating the incident, spurred by demands from the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee. The investigation is expected to conclude by
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: mid twenty twenty five.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: I'm Drew Nelson, a seventy seven year old Indiana man,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: stands accused of killing his wife and two of her
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: family members, saying they were tied to the Mexican drug
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: cartel and claiming he was tricked into signing away his
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: home before the shooting. On May twenty ninth, Patrick Waite
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: called one from his house in Halbstadt.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Patrick wait said, I sought them all. I'm certainly not
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: proud of that fact at all.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Gibson County sheriff Bruce Fano and telling Wfie they found
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: him waiting in the driveway. Inside, they found three dead
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Alma Wait.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: She was shot in the head. Luria Tapia Garcia was
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: shot in the head. Fernando Tapio Ramirez Senior was shot
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: in the head. Juan Tapya Ramirez Junior was shot in
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: the chest and the neck.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: A child witnessed the attack and hit upstairs with two
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: other relatives.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: The officers were shell shocked. The witnesses were shell shocked.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Mister Waite was taken into custody without incident.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: There.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Wait was charged with three counts of murder and one
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: kind of attempted murder. He pleaded not guilty, but also
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: told detectives quote I'm as guilty as guilty can be.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: He later said, quote God will never forgive me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: No one should have to view someone doing such a
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: horrific event, and this juvenile witness could be the key
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: that brings this whole case to closure.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Waite's defense team filed a civil complaint accusing Alma and
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: her heir of elder abuse, fraud, and using threats to
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: force him out of the house. He claims Alma deceived
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: him into signing a deed that gave her sole ownership
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: of the home he had bought with his first wife
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety eight. The house had been in his
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: name until Alma filed paperwork in April of last year
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: to transfer it to her daughter. Court records show that
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: the house was listed for sale the day after the killings.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: A judge has since halted the sale. Waight met Almah
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: in September of twenty twenty two through an online dating service.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Within weeks, she moved in. They married in March of
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty three without telling his children. Waite's lawyers say
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Alma slowly cut him off from his family, blocked his
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: kids from communicating with his phone, and began pushing for
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: control of the house. The lawsuit claimed she told him
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: she needed to be added to the deed, but instead
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: he unknowingly signed over full ownership. Alma had been released
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: from federal prison in twenty twenty after a meth trafficking conviction.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: DEA records shows she helped move large amounts of myth
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: across the country and worked with law enforcement. After her arrest,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: She was under federal supervision until August of twenty twenty one.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: The complaint says Wait had no knowledge of her past
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: or alleged ties to the Sinaloa cartel. His lawyers now
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: claim that both her sons were also involved in trafficking
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: and violent acts. The complaint says the family made threats
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: against Waite's life and that he feared leaving the house
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: because he believed they would steal from him. On the
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: night of the shooting, Wait told detectives he had killed
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: a snake with his forty five earlier in the evening.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: He left the gun in his back pocket. When he returned,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: he said, he and Alma argued about the gun and
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: then about the house transfer. He said that's when Almah
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: told him she had placed the home in her daughter's name.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: When she turned to face him in the kitchen, he
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: shot her right there. Then he walked into the den
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: and fired at the others. At least one shot hit
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Gloria Garcia, who was bedridden. Police found the gun on
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: a lawnmower in the garage. Bullet casings and fragments found
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: throughout the kitchen and living room. Wait told detectives he
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: regretted everything and said he didn't deserve to. He had
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: no criminal history before the killings. The home had been
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: known as the Weight Estate and was used for years
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: to host family and church gatherings with his late wife, Nancy,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: who died in twenty nineteen. Weight remains in jail without bond.
• 10:13

• 10:16
