  Speaker 1: Miller and Darren Parch were found shot to death and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: his Newport Beach town home. I'm Nancy Grace. This is
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. What happened?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Take listen to CBS two LA and we don't believe
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that Newport Beach police have anyone in custody yet. Investigators
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just left this complex a short time ago. This is
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: where the bodies were found late Sunday night. Now, according
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to the Coroner's office, take a look at the victims.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: They have been identified as forty eight year old Wendy
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Miller and thirty eight year old Darren Parch. They were
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: found in Parch's apartment by his roommate, but that roommate
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: says he didn't see any signs of a break in.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Police haven't said anything about the cause of death, but
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Miller's son put a statement out on social media saying
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that his mom had been shot. Miller was the CEO
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of an organization that fought for social justice for women
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and children. She was lasting Friday night, leaving a bar
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in Laguna Beach. Friends said she did send a text
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the next morning. From what I understand, it just said
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we made it safely, Did you make it home okay?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Something or along those lines. So she was checking in,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but she didn't say where she was and she wasn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: at home, A real mystery for friends of the victims.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Now we are told by police that they are they
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: haven't had any information about a possible suspect. What happened
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in a double murder case. This is what we believe.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: The first burglary attempt occurred round eleven thirty at night
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and was interrupted by a resident. The would be burglar
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: fired a single round from a gun and that bullet
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was found lodged outside the home we were learning now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: remember that said out midnight. Then the second case, five am.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: What we think happened. The alleged perp leaves the first
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: burglary attempt and moves on. The homeowner has reviewed surveillance
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: video and sees someone tries to open the front door,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but no entry was made and the would be burglar
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: runs away. Police began investigating those two incidents. But then
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what we know is that the man who was being
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: held and suspicion of robbing an attempted robbery of two homes.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Is now arrested in connection with the murders of a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: former professional hockey player and a mother of two. Here's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Michelle Galas at KCALCBS nine LA assaulting. The double murder
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of Wendy Miller and Darren Parch is currently the number
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: one priority for the Newport Beach Police Department. Officers say
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: no one has been arrested for the homicides, but the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: community is safe. Without getting into specifics of the case
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: because always, as we know, it's an open investigation and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we have to maintain that integrity. I can't tell you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that by talking with the investigators that we have out
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: there that the information that they're yielding that there is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: definitely not a threat to our society. The victims, according
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to friends, had met on the dance floor at the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Sam Piper Lounge in Laguna Beach Friday night. Wendy Miller
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: drove Darren Parch home to his condominium about a mile
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: from her home in Costa Mesa, A roommate, police say,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: found them Sunday night dead in Villa Siena, Unit number five.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: A bright Light, unforgettable friend and children's rights champion say
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: those who knew the forty eight year old divorced mother
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: best Alicia Journey is an advisory board member for Wendy
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Miller's nonprofit Wings for Justice, which protects kids in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: family court system. Miller's death leads a huge void, Journey
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: told me, but her supporters and advocates will see that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: her work is carried on. I want to go straight
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: out to Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. Kathleen, we
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: now know the man that police suspect being involved in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a double murder is named Jason Bugs. Now what do
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we know about Jemone Bugs's past. He has a very
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: very clear record. He has domestic violence allegations and in fact,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: he should have been tagged as a very dangerous person.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And the fact that this was not random is concerning.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: This was intentional, Kathleen. When you say it's not random,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it's intentional, what do you mean. Well, I've learned that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the killer had been going through his girlfriend or ex
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: girlfriend's telephone looking up names of people she's called, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he found one of the victims and that was Darren,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and went to Darren's home for purposes of harming him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So you know what's interesting to doctor Bethany Marshall's psychoanalyst.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You can find written doctor Bethany Marshall dot com Bethany.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: At first police say there's no connection, but I believe
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: there is. I didn't think there was a connection at
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: first either, And how I just learned this on the show.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I thought this was random. And the reason I thought
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it was random is that he appears to have been
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: on a crime spree. Didn't it seem that way to you?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, he breaks into one house, he shoots at
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the house as he's leaving. There's multiple burglaries. He's driving
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: around a neighborhood. Did you see the photo of him
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: working out on the beach. He's huge. He's a trainer
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: at Equinox. So my thought about this before just now
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: learning about the phone that he broke into his girlfriend's phone,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was that maybe he was in some bipolar episode or
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on steroids. White a minute, White a minute, whoa, whoa whoah. No,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he's getting away with a string of burglaries and attempted burglaries.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: He is in his right mind. He went through her phone,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: found guys he thought she had called, and tracked them
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: down and tried to kill them. But that seems to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be two different emos. This is what's confusing. There's the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: string of burglaries, but then he's going after the men
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that his girlfriend dated. Doesn't that seem like two different emos? No, Actually,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, While it does seem like two different emos.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Modus operandi method of operation. To doctor William Maroney, let's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: just say we've been around the block once or twice
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with me, Doctor William Moroney, renowned medical examiner and author
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of American Narcan. You can find it on Amazon. Incredible book,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Doctor Moroney. The problem is us. Will we try to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: put on a criminal what their EMO is? Will we
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: say things like, oh, it can't be him, it doesn't
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: fit his emo. They change their emo. Look at serial
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: killers throughout the past. Sometimes they stick with the same emo.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they depart. I mean, for Pete, say look at
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Ted Bundy. Okay, first of all, he started out luring
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: women in with his charm, right, get him my BW
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and I will kill you. No, we'll go out on
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a date, Let's go for a walk, Let's go here,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: let's go there. They end up dead. In the end,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he was getting anybody in everybody. He murdered one little
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: girl who's twelve or thirteen years old, just beat her dead.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Then he goes into the coy Omega house and beats
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: everybody dead with a baseball bat. He didn't stick with
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the same m O. So for us to say rightfully,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: as Bethany's pointed out, it's a different EMO, doesn't matter. Maroney.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I think evil evolved, has it has to to continue
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to be evil. If it means physical harm to other people,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it evolves to do physical harm. If it means larceny, theft,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it means larceny and theft. If it means writing bad
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: checks to finance itself, that's It's a very similar situation
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to chronic disease. When people can't breathe, the path of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: least resistance, heart failure, collecting fluids, people change the lily
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they walk and breathe to accommodate their disease. Anything you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: need to do to maintain evil. He's and he's obviously
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: wired wrong. Upstairs, Who is this guy? Jaman bugs Take
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a listen to Eileen Frere ABC seven neibor say that
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the suspect moved into this apartment complex here in Huntington
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Beach back in September. Now Newport Beach police say when
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they arrested him in connection with the crimes in that city,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: he was already in custody for unrelated crimes in Irvine.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Police alleged Jamon Bugs is behind the double murder of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Darren Parsh, a thirty eight year old former minor league
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: hockey player, and forty eight year old Wendy Miller, the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: founder of the nonprofit Wings for Justice. We care about
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: children and believe they need to be protected. Her family
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: says she was last seen alive leaving a bar in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Laguna Beach. Friends say she had given part to ride home.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Their bodies discovered Easter Sunday inside Parch's Newport Beach home.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: My auntshake. Just to know that I even said hi
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to him makes me really uncomfortable to know that somebody
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: like that lipcar Bugs. His neighbors and Huntington Beach know
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: him as the well built guy. His Facebook page says
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he worked as a personal trainer at Jim's and Marietta
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and Huntington Beach. Not a friendly guy or anything. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: would see him, you know, just go in and out
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and in and out and all the people going in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and out. One neighbor, who only wanted to be identified
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as Mary Anne, recalls hearing a recent violent fight inside
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the forty four year olds apartment. I look out my
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: window and I see a blonde woman from his apartment,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and then I see him take off after her. But
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know who that woman was. Court record show
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Bugs is a convicted felon. He also had a domestic
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: violence hearing scheduled next month involving another woman. In unrelated cases,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Police say video captures him allegedly trying to burglarize two
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: homes in Irvine over the weekend. He's accused of firing
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: his handgun at one of the houses. Police say he
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was arrested Monday morning after a short pursuit and after
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: barricading himself in an unoccupied home. He's pleaded not guilty
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to those charges. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Double murder
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: suspect Jamone Buggs has a long history of violent crimes
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to Orange County court records. In nineteen ninety four, Bugs
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: committed batter and an officer in San Diego. A year later,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five, there was an assault with a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: deadly weapon charge Bugs had firearms violations and a charge
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: of grand theft in nineteen ninety six. In two thousand,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he was convicted of being a felon in possession of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a firearm. But that's not all you are hearing our
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: free and Stacey Butler at k c A L CBS
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: nine list. In the following years, he had four domestic
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: violence convictions and two DUIs. Just three months ago, oc
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: court records show bugs living girlfriend filed a domestic violence
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: charge and a restraining order against him. Neighbors in this
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Huntington Beach apartment complex say the two lived together in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: this apartment about a year, but they moved out in January.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Buggs moved into this apartment in Huntington Beach and his
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: girlfriend rented a room in this Huntington Beach home. Neighbors
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: on this quiet street say they often saw the couple
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: sitting in his car outside the home together. January fifteenth,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: court records show that the girlfriend filed the charge of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: domestic violence in a restraining order against Bugs. That's when
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a caretaker inside this home says she saw Bugs break
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: into the home trying to get to his girlfriend upstairs.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: The caretaker says the girlfriend called police, but before they
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: could get there, he took off. She moved out of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that home. No one we spoke with knows where that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: girlfriend is. Employees that this Huntington Beach jeep dealership say
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: they have no idea. The quiet car salesman who started
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: working there just over a month ago had a long
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: criminal history. Just one week after he was doing court
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: for that domestic violence. Here in April eleventh, police say
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Bugs murdered thirty eight year old Darren Parch and forty
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: eight year old Wendy Miller. The two just met at
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a bar last Friday night. Now he's facing two murder
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: charges with special circumstances. That is who Jason Bugs is.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And would you agree doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanist joining us
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: from LA that for every time there is a call
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about a domestic relations a violent act, or when someone's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: actually rested on a crime, there are dozens and dozens
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of other crimes. They're never apprehended for dozens of other crimes.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And also in terms of the victim, it takes women
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: on average nine times to leave a domestic violence infused
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: relationship before they are finally able to leave for good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So this is not the first time he aggressed against
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: this woman that he was in a relationship with who
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: finally left him. And good thing he's behind bars, he'd
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: probably still be stalking her. To John Cardillo joining us,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: former NYPD man, you've seen it all, John, weigh in.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: All right, So I'm looking at this a little differently
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: than my colleagues adoptors here. Remember, the only reason there's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a working theory that he was looking for a man
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that his girlfriend might have been involved with is because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a detective allegedly said that to a resident. Detectives aren't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: always going to be honest with residents. Also, remember the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: woman miss Miller worked with abused women. So another working
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: theory I bet my last dollar on it is that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: they might have intercepted They might have intercepted a text
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: in that search warrant between his battered girlfriend or a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: previous one and Miss Miller. Maybe she was counseling her,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe she was getting her some outreach, some help. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the reason I'm not looking at these as two separate incidents,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the reason he might have kicked in other doors and
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: fired shots. This is an apartment complex, right, because in
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: townhouse complex he might have known he was looking. For example,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a white SUV was parked in front of one residence.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: He kicks in the door, realizes the person he's looking
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for isn't there, and he's kicking indoors until he finds
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: his intended victims. But one thing is for sure, Nancy
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: readd an estimate back when I was in a robbery
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and gun unit that for every crime we caught a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: guy for, he probably pulled off on average about seven
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that we didn't. So with this guy's history, yeah, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: completely concur we're looking at a guy with a history
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of violent crime, But I I think the motive is
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: still unclear. I do think though, one of the reasons
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you played an initial clip that detectives told the community
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: there was no risk. They probably already had him on custody.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: In custody, we're trying to elicit at convention. But had
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the video knew they had the right guy, knew there
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: was some more risk to the community. We know that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: professional hockey player Darren Parch and Wendy Miller found dead.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Another thing to doctor William Moroney, medical examiner, author of
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: American Narcan The Cops also said that Wendy Miller did
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not suffer that means to me, that very likely shot
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: her execution style once in the head. That's usually it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: There's no sign of bruising, there's no sign of blood,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: there's no exanguination, and it's straightforward and simple. The only
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: other thing you'd use. You know, why why do you
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: keep saying that? Why do you keep throwing out the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: word exanguination? Why don't you just say it and regular
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: people talk. I'm already impressed with you, Ron, I'm very
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: impressed with all your degrees and your experience and all
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: your books. People too, Okay, what's exegmination? Go ahead? It's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the clinical loss of blood that leads to a fatal
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: event and death, usually through a large You mean you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: remember last time you did that. I made you spell
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it and you had to look it up. Why don't
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you just say she bled out out out bled So,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: doctor Moroney, when they say euphemisms like we don't believe
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: she suffered, that means she was shot in the head
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and she was dead before she even knew what was happening.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I think, I mean, that's my interpretation of what that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: means to Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. Let's talk
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: about what doctor Bethany said earlier about how many times
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it takes for a domestic violence victim to finally leave.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Now we've got Wendy Miller, dad and a pro hockey play.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You're dare in part not only does it take an
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: enormous amount of energy to leave a domestic violence situation,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but if you're going through the court systems and you're
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a victim of domestic violence, it is horrible, Nancy, It's horrible,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and they don't get any support. And the woman that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: was killed in this particular case, I believe her name
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: is Wendy Miller. She had a foundation that helped and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: supported women and men who are in domestic violence situations,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: what's called Wings for Justice. And I am sickened and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: heartbroken over this whole murder. And I can only say
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to you that ideal on a day to day basis
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: with what victims of domestic violence have to go through
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in the family court system, and it's a put This
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: guy by the name of jam On Bugs, the defendant
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in this case, is the founder of a personal training
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: company called do It Again. All right, We also know
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: he has an extensive criminal pass. It's called excuse me,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: do it Again? Nine and that's what I'm learning from
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: his LinkedIn profile. He wrote on LinkedIn, Jimon specializes in
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: designing trending programs for clients individual goals. I evaluate strength, balanced, flexibility,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and cardio, which is incorporated in design. In addition to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Jamon's success, is a performance enhancement specialist for do It
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Again nine. Okay, you know what. He's also a convicted
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: felon who had just gone on a spree of crimes.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And one thing I don't get John Cardillo, former NYPD,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: it's why he was out to start with. Not only
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: why he was out to start with. I was thinking
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that us. I was looking at his rap sheet about
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: three seconds ago before you came to me, Nancy. But
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: think about something else. Who were the morons at the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: car dealership who hired this career felon and allowed him
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: access to people's personal information and credit information. They have
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: credit card numbers, checking account numbers, social security numbers. I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of people dropped a lot of balls
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: with this guy over the years. He should have been
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: sitting in a cell somewhere, not out to kill someone,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: certainly not out there. How did you put your social
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: security number and checking account info down? On a car
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Loan aff and trying to figure out what was his
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: real connection to Wendy Miller and or Darren Parts. What
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: do you think Kathleen Murphy connection to Darren because he
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was stalking and intended to hurt Darren. Wendy just happened
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to be there, and it's a very I'm so upset, Nancy.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I'm so upset that both of these people were murdered.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I'm so upset that he was out. I'm so upset
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: at the court systems avowing him to even be out.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. I'm Nancy Grace. This is
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. Take listen
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to CBS two La. Neighbors here were anxious when police
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: were searching for the killer who took two lives in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: one of these condos. So they are both reassured and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: shocked by the news that police found their suspect already
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: behind bars. Take a look. Forty four year old Jemome
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Bugs of Huntington Beach is said to be rained today.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: He is suspected of killing Costa Mesa mom, Wendy Miller,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and former minor league hockey player Darren Parch. Bugs neighbors
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: tell us he's a personal trainer, and his LinkedIn profile
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: states that he works at the Equinox Jim and Huntington Beach.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But when detectives went to look for bugs, they discovered
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he had already been arrested on Monday as a suspect
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: in separate burglaries. The victims of the double murder here
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in Newport Beach were found Sunday night by roommate they
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: had reportedly met earlier in the evening and had been shot.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Video now that was released by Irvine Police, which they
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: believe shows bugs trying to break into two other homes
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and one case, officers say the burglar
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: fired a gun when the homeowner interrupted the crime. Nobody
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: was hurt. Bugs Huntington Beach neighbors told us they knew
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: something was wrong when police entered his apartment with a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: search warrant. The first burglary attempt occurred around eleven thirty
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: at night and was interrupted by a resident. The would
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be burglar fired a single round from a gun and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that bullet was found lodged outside the home. We are
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: learning now, remember that's it about midnight. Then the second
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: case five am. What we think happened. The alleged perp
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: leaves the first burglary attempt and moves on. The homeowner
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: has reviewed surveillance video and sees someone tries to open
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the front door, but no entry was made and the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: would be burglar runs away. Police began investigating those two incidents,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: but then what we know is that the man who
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: was being held and suspicion of robbing an attempted robbery
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of two homes is now arrested in connection with the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: murderers of a former professional hockey player and a mother
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of two. And one thing I don't get, John Cardillo,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: former NYPD, you and others say no connection to the victims,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: which is very hard for me to believe. Kathleen Murphy,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: give me your theory on his connection to Darren Parch.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: His ex girlfriend had called Darren Parch for reasons that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not aware of, and this stalker was going through
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the phone list of his ex girlfriend's phone calls and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: that's how he came upon Darren. What does that mean?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Out to Bethany Marshall's Yeah, who's this Cardillo? Jump hand? Yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: let me jump in, because you know, I don't think
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: there's no connection what I'm saying is the only evidence
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: we have that he had a connection to Darren Parch
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and not miss Miller is one anecdotal alleged comment from
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a detective to a resident. That's all we have. We
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: have no confirmation of that. I'm as convinced that they
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: need to look into his connection to Miller. Miller ran
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a center for battered women. I think the connection. If
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I had a bet on the connection today, I'm less
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: inclined to believe that one anecdotal comment at the resident
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: who was kind of in shock that a neighbors were
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: murdered the accuracy of that statement. Then he found something
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: on the phone of one of the women he was
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: dating and abusing that connected that woman to Stephanie Miller,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and Miller probably advising that person to go to a shelter,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to talk to the police, to have him prosecuted, to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: seek a restraining order. That to me is more of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a motive. And that's why you shoot Miller dead, the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: point blank in the head. You kill her. I think
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: he was looking for her, not the retired hockey. Interesting.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Interesting to doctor Bethany Marshall. Doctor Bethany I worked at
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Battered Women's center for nine years, and we
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: had to keep everything secret, the location, the volunteers, because
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of the very reason Cardillo is describing. That's right. I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: raged abusers will come after you for trying to help
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the battered woman. That's exactly what they do, Nancy. They
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: target the whole treatment center, They target the policemen who
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: helped the women, They target the woman's families, they target
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the counselors, they target everyone. And in terms of how
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: he got to Miller, it's unclear if it's because she
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: owned the center or she was connected to a woman
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: she was helping. The fact that sticks out to me
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the most, and maybe because I work out at Equinox
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: here in Beverly Hills, is that he was a trainer
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: at Equinox, and so he had access not only to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: client financial records when he was at the car dealership,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: but you're in a position of trust when you are
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a trainer, and it gave him this sort of legitimacy.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, equinoxes are very swanky, Jim, They're very expensive
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: gym memberships. They're all over in the United States, especially
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the West Coast, the East Coast. The trainers there are
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: super friendly. They have their Instagrams, they give out their
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: information to everybody. Everybody gives and exchanges social media information.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So to him, he found another job that was kind
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of like a hunting ground. And so this guy went
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: under the radar. He is his vicious homicidal doctor went
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: under the radar working at a car dealership and then
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: at a squeaky clean equinoc and nobody caught him. Nobody
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: caught him. Nancy Listen, Wendy Miller's son, fights back tears
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: as he reads a letter to his late mother at
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: her funeral. And Irvine today and I love you. Friends
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and family packed into Mariners Church to remember the mother
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of two who was murdered along with her friend Darren
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Parch in Parch's Newport Beach home Easter weekend. According to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: court records, the two were shot by Jaman Buggs, a
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Huntington Beach personal trainer. A detective believes Bugs left Parch's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: residence and traveled to Irvine to commit another violent crime.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: According to court records, Bugs tried to break into several
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Irvine homes, including this woman's. She says detectives told her
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Bugs was looking for someone who was linked to his
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: ex girlfriend. He was looking for someone with the same
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: name as my boyfriend, but he had a picture of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: what the guy looked like it so I think when
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: he looked in and saw the two Asian guys playing games,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: he knew it wasn't the guy that he was looking for,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and so he left. In another attempted break in in
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the same neighborhood, police say Bugs's gun went off. Court
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: records indicate those bullets were later connected to the bullets
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: fired at the double murder scene in Newport Beach, but
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the time detectives linked the break ins to the homicides,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Irvine Police head managed to arrest Bugs and locate his gun.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Newport Beach then arrested Bugs for miller and purchased murders
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: while he was already in custody. Well, a friend of
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Bugs's ex girlfriend, reportedly said that Bugs was trying to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: hurt him and anyone else that Bugs thought his ex
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: girlfriend was involved with. The ex girlfriend and Darren parton
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: all the message each other a few times. Typically, on
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a murder charge you get life or life without parole,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: but when there are two murder victims, that qualifies as
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: mass murder under the law, and that is a special
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: circumstance for which the death penalty can be sought. Crime
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. Her name is Adeia Adaya Shabani,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Beautiful inside and out, say her close friends, who also
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: say they're worried, sick over the twenty five year old
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: who's been missing since February twenty third. We just pray
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: for her and hopefully she's gonna show up, her acting teacher,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: saying she'd never missed a class until that faithful day
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: February twenty third, when she was last seen near her
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: apartment complex on Wilcox and Hollywood Boulevard. Since then, say sources,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: her phone has not being used, and the girl who
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: used to post daily on her social media accounts has
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: gone silence. We are talking about a beautiful young girl,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a missing model. Well, a body has been found in
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a shallow California grave, But what do we know. I'm
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: with us. Straight out to crime online dot Com investigative
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: reporter Lee Egan Crime Online, where you can find this
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: in all other breaking crime in justice news. Lee, I
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: want to start with how she goes missing. Tell me
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that and then we'll figure out from what we know
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: if this is her in the Shallow Grave, Well, Nancy,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: what we know is at around eleven eight m February
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty eighteen, she sends a text to a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: friend asking for red candles, and then after that nothing,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: There was no activity on any her social media accounts,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and she was extremely active on all of those no
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: text messages, her phone shut off shortly after her last message,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and then she's just gone completely disappeared. Joining me right now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Juvenile court judges, trial attorney. You can find her at
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcot dot com Ashley Wilcot. That's significant. Now, that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't tell me any intricacies or any details of her disappearance,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: But more and more cops are looking at your cell phone,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: your social media. If you're an active poster or you
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: live on your cell phone, you're constantly texting and then
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: suddenly it goes quiet. That's a big, circumstantial piece of evidence. Absolutely,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it's a great clue, especially Nancy, given this, we all
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: know that those who enjoy social media don't usually take
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a break or not do it unless they've gone on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: a little weekend trip or a vacation. But then they
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: go right back to the social media. So when someone
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't like she didn't on Monday, that's a huge clue
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that there's a problem. The other thing I have to
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: say is, boy, does it not give you a clue
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to hear that she went reached out to a friend
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: about getting red candles, which to me suggests a romantic weekend,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a weekend away with someone special and then disappears. Wow.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that at all. I would think ray candles. Oh,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sticking away a candle holder somewhere that I hope
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and pray to God the twins never lie and burn
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: down the house. You think romantic weekend away? Okay, I'm
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: just gonna take that with a box of salt. Take
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: a listen to our friends at KTLA. This is Rick Chambers.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: They hit the sidewalk this evening here in Hollywood getting
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the word out about Adia Shabani, who disappeared six days ago.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what to think. I
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I just want to find her. The twenty five year
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: old actress left her apartment here at the Duet on
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Wilcox in Hollywood last Friday at about noon and no
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: one has seen her since, which is out of character.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: This is not her, This is not her. Something is
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: going on with her. We don't know where she's it's
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: just so sad. We're just hoping she's alive. At first,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: friends thought Shabanni was just busy, but then she missed
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: an important class here at the Stella Adler Theater. So
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: those same friends asked the LAPD to do a welfare
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: check back at her apartment. You know, right there, you're
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: hearing what leads up to the announcement that this beautiful
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: young actress Adia Shabani has gone missing. It she really
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: is gorgeous. In the acting world, you know, you meet
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: so many different people. You're constantly going for tryouts and auditions.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: To Karen Start joining me psychologist at Karen Stark dot
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: com joining me today out of New York, Karen start,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. You know, Karen, in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: that line of business, you're constantly meeting different people at
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: all of these ads. It's not like a lot of
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: people go to their office every day and they're around
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the same people every day, So you kind of have
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: a smaller group of people to suspect when you're out
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: doing auditions, traveling from one place to the next, trying
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to get a gig. It really widens up the scope
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: of investigation. It does, It definitely does. But she had
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: so many people that she was staying in touch with
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and so many friends that after a while she knew
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: enough people that they were worried about her. And I
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: success that under those circumstances, they really didn't know her
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and they understood that something was definitely wrong. You know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the discovery of a body in
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: a shallow grave. Here is Katie TV's Feel Human Listen
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a shallow grave. This is about fifty miles north of Sacramento.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: The LAPD says they believe the remains are Shabanis. That
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is not one hundred percent. They do not yet have
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a cause of death, or they are saying they believed
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that Shabani was the victim of a homicide. Let's hear
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: from Captain Hayes. Los Angeles pushed divers were searching that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: area and walking the shores. There was a water's edge
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: where they found what they believed to be a shallow grave.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: When we checked it, we were able to determine that
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: it contained human remains, but because of the condition of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the area, we were not able to recover the body immediately.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I want to go out to our friend,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: doctor William Maroney, Deputy Medical Examiner, Bay County, Michigan, author
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of American narcan on Amazon to doctor William Moroney, how
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: do you go about identifying remains that have been out
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in the desert in a shallow grave and what does
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: that temperature and those circumstances due to the body. The
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: first thing you have to look at is a chart
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: of humidity and temperature to judge backwards and calculate how
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: old or how long it's been there. And that's going
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to entail entomology, the study of insects that eat carrion
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and carnage and break the body down after gaseous discomposition.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Anybody outside any not anybody like like all you buddies,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: but a body, any body is going to go through
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: regular decomposition, which could take you know, a couple of
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: days in warm weather, a couple of weeks it's cool.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But bugs, flies, gnats, and maggots break the body down
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: based on temperature and humidity and if they can colllect,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: blow fly, larva and dated. You know, I always hear that,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: doctor Moroni. I always hear when you're looking at forensic etymology,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: in other words, the age of bugs that have been
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: attracted to the body. It's kind of it's not terribly new,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: but in the big history of forensics it's new. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I always hear about blow fly. It develops at a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: certain rate, and if you look at the rate of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the development of the maggot, you can tell how long
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: it's been there. You know how long it takes for
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: a maggot to appear, and that way you can kind
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of determine roughly the time of death. How does it work?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: If you could break it down from in words, we
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: can all understand, doctor Moroni. The first insect to be
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: drawn to a dead body based on smell and composition
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: is the blowfly. And the blowfly sets up eggs that
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: hatch in a couple of days and then help decomposition
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and eat tissue, and then they grow through stages that
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: take a various number of partial weeks, and then those
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: maggots turn into flies themselves and they're able to trace that.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Ashley Willcott joining us, this guy, this person of interest,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Chris Spots. What do you believe was at the heart
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: of her murder? Crime of passion? I think no matter what,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: hands down, this is a crime of passion. Something about
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: again leaving with the suitcases, with the red candles, the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: fact that she had the trauma that she endured, where
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: she was buried, how far away. I think it was
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: a crime of passion. And they said, oh, he's got
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to do something with this body, and this is what
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. As she Wilcott, I agree with you
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: because this guy, thirty three year old Chris Spots, had
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: been Adia's boyfriend, okay, and he had been engaged to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: another woman. We know that there was a high speed
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: police chase. At the end, he kills himself. Why would
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: he do that if he were not somehow involved with this?
• 38:27
