- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:07Speaker 2: The so called sexy assassin. I don't even know how
- 0:11Speaker 2: those two words go in one sentence. The so called
- 0:15Speaker 2: sexy assassin. CEO killer Luigi Mangioni has an outburst in
- 0:24Speaker 2: court as he is led out of the room after
- 0:28Speaker 2: being told he is going to trial in June.
- 0:32Speaker 1: You know what, has he been fed with a silverspoon?
- 0:35Speaker 2: His whole life, had every privilege, every opportunity, and he
- 0:41Speaker 2: still smarts off at the judge. Oh, I'm Nancy Grace.
- 0:46Speaker 2: This is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for
- 0:49Speaker 2: being with us in the last days. Accused killer Luigim
- 0:52Speaker 2: Mangione has an outburst in court as he's being led
- 0:56Speaker 2: out of the room. Mangione, twenty seven, made an appear
- 1:00Speaker 2: apearance in Manhattan, where the judge declared the state will
- 1:04Speaker 2: go forward with trial in June. Now that's several months
- 1:09Speaker 2: earlier than we had predicted, and it will now predate,
- 1:14Speaker 2: in other words, happened before federal charges in connection with
- 1:18Speaker 2: the shooting death of United health Care CEO Brian Thompson.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Now his lawyers.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Mangoni's lawyers complained about the new schedule, arguing it would
- 1:31Speaker 2: not give them time to prepare, and as he was
- 1:34Speaker 2: being led away, he verbally attacked the judge, yelling out
- 1:40Speaker 2: one plus one equals two. This is the same trial twice.
- 1:45Speaker 2: This is double jeopardy. Well you know what, Mangone, While
- 1:49Speaker 2: you were surfing in Hawaii and tickling girls, caught on
- 1:54Speaker 2: camera now complaining you have a back ailment, other people
- 1:58Speaker 2: were hard at work, law school and trying cases. And
- 2:02Speaker 2: maybe you missed law school that day when dual sovereignty
- 2:08Speaker 2: was discussed. In other words, the same act can result
- 2:13Speaker 2: in state and federal charges. Bam, look it up, Luigi Mangioni.
- 2:22Speaker 2: You got plenty of time to do that behind bars,
- 2:25Speaker 2: and if you need another lawyer to research it, you
- 2:28Speaker 2: can use the tens of thousands of dollars that love
- 2:32Speaker 2: sick females have been sending you behind bars.
- 2:37Speaker 1: What is double jeopardy?
- 2:38Speaker 2: Double jeopardy means a person cannot be prosecuted for the
- 2:41Speaker 2: same crime twice before he killed over.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I got questions all the time.
- 2:48Speaker 2: If OJ Simpson confesses, can he be retried? The sad
- 2:52Speaker 2: answer no, he could never be retried because of double jeopardy.
- 2:58Speaker 2: That's why the state better be ready when it tries case.
- 3:01Speaker 1: First time, because.
- 3:02Speaker 2: You get one swing at the ball, one bite of
- 3:06Speaker 2: the apple.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Det is it?
- 3:08Speaker 2: If you fail, it's over? What happened to United Healthcare
- 3:13Speaker 2: Boss Brian Thompson? A husband and father A precious boy.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Masked gunman shoots dead the United Healthcare CEO in Midtown
- 3:25Speaker 3: Manhattan and urgent search ensues for the suspect. Last scene
- 3:30Speaker 3: entering Central.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Park, marriage secrets being revealed as this health boss worth
- 3:37Speaker 2: millions of dollars is gunned down and open around the public.
- 3:43Speaker 2: What do we make of clues left behind? Cryptic and
- 3:48Speaker 2: odd clues? For instance, bullets found actually have been inscribed
- 3:54Speaker 2: with letters on them.
- 3:56Speaker 1: A cell phone had been left behind. Is there DNA on.
- 4:00Speaker 2: A water bottle? Was this a pro? A silencer was used?
- 4:05Speaker 2: And in the middle of the assassination, the gun jams
- 4:11Speaker 2: and seemingly the pro shooter simply adjusted and continued firing. Everyone,
- 4:20Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. If this can happen.
- 4:22Speaker 1: In public, what are we to think of it? Well,
- 4:26Speaker 1: take a listen.
- 4:27Speaker 2: To what the chief of detectives has to say.
- 4:29Speaker 4: This morning at six forty six am, patrol offices from
- 4:32Speaker 4: Midtown North Precinct responded to a nine to one one
- 4:34Speaker 4: call of a person shot in front of the Hilton
- 4:36Speaker 4: Hotel located at thirteen thirty five Avenue of the Americas.
- 4:40Speaker 4: This is between West fifty third Street and West fifty
- 4:42Speaker 4: fourth Street. At six forty eight am. Officers arrive and
- 4:46Speaker 4: find the victim, Brian R. Thompson, a fifty year old
- 4:49Speaker 4: male on the sidewalk in front of the Hilton, with
- 4:51Speaker 4: gunshot wounds to his back and leg.
- 4:53Speaker 2: You know, the way the sheoter handled the weapon, the
- 4:56Speaker 2: use of a silencer, the mask, the lying in wait
- 5:00Speaker 2: all indicates a professional hit. But a pro wouldn't want
- 5:05Speaker 2: to be caught. A pro would do everything not to
- 5:08Speaker 2: get caught. So then why we're there, especially engraved bullets
- 5:15Speaker 2: with cryptic messages on them. Mm mmm, it sounds like
- 5:20Speaker 2: a fifth grade girl riding a crime thriller. Something's way
- 5:25Speaker 2: off with this. Joining me and all star panel to
- 5:27Speaker 2: make sense of what we know right now, but for
- 5:30Speaker 2: a straight out to investigative reporter Lauren Conlin joining US
- 5:34Speaker 2: co host Primetime Crime on YouTube and you can find
- 5:37Speaker 2: her at Popcrime dot tv, who has gone to the
- 5:39Speaker 2: scene and investigated.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Lauren, what can you tell us?
- 5:42Speaker 5: Yes, Nancy on the street, the entire street of West
- 5:45Speaker 5: fifty third Street was blocked off. There was plane clothes
- 5:49Speaker 5: detectives as well as uniformed officers basically not saying anything.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I asked questions. I asked witnesses if.
- 5:58Speaker 5: They heard anything, and the parking lot attendants were actually
- 6:02Speaker 5: there earlier that morning, but they said, you know, due
- 6:05Speaker 5: to the silencer, they didn't hear anything.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Tell me your understanding, what you learned of what happened,
- 6:11Speaker 2: Starting at the beginning.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Starting at the beginning, I learned that Brian Thompson arrived
- 6:16Speaker 5: in New York Monday. Now he was not staying at
- 6:19Speaker 5: the Hilton. He was staying at a hotel across the street.
- 6:23Speaker 5: He was set to speak at eight am at their
- 6:26Speaker 5: annual investors conference, and he was arriving early at six
- 6:31Speaker 5: forty five. So as he walked into the entrance of
- 6:36Speaker 5: the Hilton, it was revealed by NYPD that this gunman
- 6:41Speaker 5: was allegedly lying in wait before he shot him.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Take a listen to Chief Detective Joe Kenny.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Mister Thompson was removed by ems or Roosevelt Hospital, where
- 6:51Speaker 4: he was pronounced dead at seven twelve am. Mister Thompson
- 6:55Speaker 4: is the CEO of United Healthcare and resides in Minnesota.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Detectives from Nightwall, Mitown North Detective Squad and Manhattan South
- 7:02Speaker 4: Homicad responded to the scene and began their investigation.
- 7:05Speaker 1: We're learning a lot.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I want to go straight out to Bill Daily joining
- 7:08Speaker 2: us from New York, former FBI investigator forends At photography
- 7:13Speaker 2: international security expert. Bill, thank you for being with us.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You see the video steals we're showing. I don't know
- 7:21Speaker 2: that a pro would have done this right in front
- 7:24Speaker 2: of a surveillance video.
- 7:26Speaker 6: Well, exactly right, Nancy.
- 7:27Speaker 7: Is that you know people throw on this thing about
- 7:29Speaker 7: you know professional hitmn I mean those are those are
- 7:32Speaker 7: out of the movies. I mean this this could be
- 7:34Speaker 7: somebody who trained who thought it out. Well, obviously he's
- 7:36Speaker 7: done a lot of reconaissance and research, but we're talking
- 7:39Speaker 7: about professional hit people. That's something made in the movies.
- 7:43Speaker 7: I would say, Nancy, A couple of things. I'm quite
- 7:44Speaker 7: familiar with this area, being a New Yorker and having
- 7:47Speaker 7: worked on the streets of New York for quite a
- 7:49Speaker 7: number of years. Is that this is actually the side
- 7:51Speaker 7: entrance the missus Thompson was apparently staying around the corner.
- 7:55Speaker 6: We believe that the Marriott Hotel, which actually gave him
- 7:58Speaker 6: a couple of venues of approach to the hotel.
- 8:01Speaker 7: This is the side Injines the maniagers on sixth Avenue.
- 8:04Speaker 7: So for this gunman to know that he was going
- 8:06Speaker 7: to be coming down the side street at this time
- 8:09Speaker 7: suggested to me there was some other reconnaissance inside information
- 8:13Speaker 7: that he knew that he was at another hotel. He
- 8:14Speaker 7: wasn't saying at the Hilton that he'd be coming down
- 8:16Speaker 7: this street. Tompson could have easy walked around seventh Avenue,
- 8:20Speaker 7: coming down fifty fifth Street or another street to grab
- 8:22Speaker 7: a cup of coffee.
- 8:23Speaker 6: But he didn't.
- 8:23Speaker 7: And so there are a couple of things out here
- 8:25Speaker 7: that kind of jump out to me that are really
- 8:27Speaker 7: concerning with you, gud to how much information was known
- 8:30Speaker 7: about the specific movements of mister Thompson that morning.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Bill Daly, I know exactly what you mean about that location.
- 8:37Speaker 2: But wouldn't it have been easy for the per the
- 8:40Speaker 2: killer to be waiting in the lobby waiting for the victim,
- 8:45Speaker 2: Brian Thompson to walk out. He didn't have to be
- 8:48Speaker 2: lying in wait at that side entrance. He could have
- 8:51Speaker 2: simply followed him. He did come up behind him.
- 8:54Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there are a couple of things here
- 8:55Speaker 7: in Nancy, that is true. And in fact, if he
- 8:57Speaker 7: knew if he was going to be speaking of the conference,
- 8:59Speaker 7: he didn't have to be waiting outside. He could have
- 9:01Speaker 7: done it just in the lobby upstairs, in an elevator
- 9:04Speaker 7: or some other other place where he knew there was
- 9:06Speaker 7: kind of a kind of cool choke point where he
- 9:08Speaker 7: would have had to travel through in order to get
- 9:09Speaker 7: to the conference.
- 9:10Speaker 6: The other thing is that which.
- 9:12Speaker 7: Kind of points to perhaps something more someone from the
- 9:15Speaker 7: area or from the region, is the fact that mister
- 9:17Speaker 7: Simpson lives out in Minnesota. The day to day he
- 9:19Speaker 7: comes to and from work, he comes to and from
- 9:21Speaker 7: his home, he goes perhaps to see maybe his children's
- 9:24Speaker 7: sporting events, who knows what. But those are kind of
- 9:27Speaker 7: open areas, other areas where he could have been a target.
- 9:30Speaker 7: But yet this was done in New York City, where
- 9:32Speaker 7: he doesn't live, where he was visiting, where this person
- 9:34Speaker 7: would have only had a couple of days opportunity for
- 9:37Speaker 7: any kind of reconnaissance and kind of staging this event.
- 9:40Speaker 7: And so it kind of leads me to suggest that
- 9:42Speaker 7: this person shows New York either because it's more difficult.
- 9:45Speaker 7: You can get lost in the city. You can do
- 9:46Speaker 7: things like this. It could have disappear into Central Park
- 9:49Speaker 7: and perhaps try to hide your.
- 9:50Speaker 6: Trails, you know.
- 9:51Speaker 7: Or it was a matter of convenience that the person
- 9:53Speaker 7: was in and around the area and didn't have to
- 9:55Speaker 7: travel to Minnesota.
- 9:56Speaker 1: You're right.
- 9:56Speaker 2: The victim in town to speak at and invent conference.
- 10:00Speaker 8: Listen, the victim was in New York City to speak
- 10:02Speaker 8: at an investor conference. It appears a suspect was lying
- 10:05Speaker 8: in wait for several minutes, and as the victim was
- 10:09Speaker 8: walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind
- 10:13Speaker 8: and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once
- 10:17Speaker 8: in the back and at least once in the right calf.
- 10:20Speaker 8: Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait
- 10:24Speaker 8: for his intended target.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Well, it's clearly targeted, Bill Daily.
- 10:29Speaker 2: There is no robbery, there is no car jacking, there
- 10:33Speaker 2: is no sex attack, So it's targeted. Can we look
- 10:38Speaker 2: at the photo of the suspect's face. Now we keep
- 10:44Speaker 2: hearing we don't know much about him, but I can
- 10:46Speaker 2: tell you right now he's white. Number one. He knows
- 10:51Speaker 2: enough to cover his face, but I see that he.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Is not wearing gloves.
- 10:57Speaker 2: To Lauren Colin, what can you tell me about a
- 10:59Speaker 2: discarded water bottle?
- 11:00Speaker 5: The discarded water bottle, Nancy, was found in the alleyway,
- 11:04Speaker 5: which is between fifty third and fifty fourth Street. It's
- 11:07Speaker 5: the zig Field Ballroom Alleyway.
- 11:10Speaker 1: A pro would not leave behind a water bottle.
- 11:15Speaker 2: A pro wouldn't even be drinking anything right before you
- 11:18Speaker 2: murder somebody.
- 11:19Speaker 7: Exactly right, Nancy, And go to my suggestion, this person
- 11:22Speaker 7: again kind of orchestrated this and pre planned it.
- 11:25Speaker 6: I thought it out. You speak about perhaps the weapon
- 11:28Speaker 6: a little bit later on, all.
- 11:29Speaker 7: These things trying to somebody who is knowledgeable about only
- 11:32Speaker 7: what they were doing, but certainly not a professional.
- 11:34Speaker 6: That's somebody we might see kind of portrayed in the movies.
- 11:37Speaker 6: These people would be.
- 11:38Speaker 7: Much more sub roser about their efforts, would kind of
- 11:42Speaker 7: not be seen beforehand. And I'm going to suggest to
- 11:44Speaker 7: you is that besides this video and these images we
- 11:47Speaker 7: have now, as that police are looking to kind of
- 11:48Speaker 7: put together both the timeline and his trail, there'll be
- 11:51Speaker 7: some more coming out and we'll have we'll have some
- 11:54Speaker 7: more facial images, perhaps the DNA may help, but as
- 11:57Speaker 7: we all know, working these cases, you need to have
- 12:00Speaker 7: something to compare it to.
- 12:01Speaker 6: You need to have some databaseing compared.
- 12:03Speaker 7: To or using ancestral DNA, perhaps tie this person back
- 12:07Speaker 7: to someone else and work through that angle. So even
- 12:11Speaker 7: though we have all these things, and it could be
- 12:13Speaker 7: who knows, maybe fragmented fingerprints on the bullet casings or
- 12:18Speaker 7: other evidence left behind, but again you need something to
- 12:20Speaker 7: compare it to.
- 12:21Speaker 4: What we know is that the shooter arrived at the
- 12:23Speaker 4: location on foot about five minutes prior to the victim's arrival.
- 12:27Speaker 4: He stands alongside the building line as numerous other people
- 12:30Speaker 4: and pedestrians pass him by. From video, we see at
- 12:33Speaker 4: six forty four am, the victim is walking alone towards
- 12:37Speaker 4: the Hilton after exiting his hotel across the street. We
- 12:40Speaker 4: believe the victim was headed to the Hilton Hotel to
- 12:42Speaker 4: attend the United Health Group investors conference that was scheduled
- 12:45Speaker 4: to start at eight am.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Let me look at that stance one more time where
- 12:49Speaker 2: the shooter is pointing pointing the gun at the victim.
- 12:55Speaker 2: You know, everybody on the panel jump in, But Bill Day,
- 12:59Speaker 2: look at that. It looks like someone has been watching
- 13:03Speaker 2: too many movies and they think that's a professional killer stance.
- 13:08Speaker 1: You see that right there.
- 13:10Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, Look, he doesn't have on gloves.
- 13:14Speaker 2: He's been hanging out, drinking from a water bottle that
- 13:17Speaker 2: he leaves behind. I also understand a cell phone has
- 13:21Speaker 2: been left behind.
- 13:23Speaker 1: And then he gets on a city bike.
- 13:26Speaker 2: It reminds me of a bank robbery or prosecuted where
- 13:29Speaker 2: the purp had a bike waiting around the corner. He
- 13:33Speaker 2: was anything but a prouh and he pedaled off.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Just like this guy is doing. What do you make
- 13:40Speaker 1: of that? Bial?
- 13:41Speaker 7: You know, all these things kind of add up to
- 13:43Speaker 7: the fact that this person again gave some thought, but
- 13:46Speaker 7: yet it about quote professional. I mean, we really don't
- 13:48Speaker 7: have these kind of quote professional hitmen throughout the country.
- 13:51Speaker 7: Maybe the mafia does, but we're not talking about people
- 13:53Speaker 7: knocking off executives.
- 13:55Speaker 6: So this doesn't happen in the United States. Perhaps overseas and.
- 13:58Speaker 7: Perhaps a concern when people travel the high riskopations, but
- 14:00Speaker 7: certainly not in New York City. But I'll probably tell
- 14:03Speaker 7: you is that both that stance is kind of a
- 14:06Speaker 7: suggestion that the person both they knew what they were doing,
- 14:09Speaker 7: but also the fact that this gun jam.
- 14:11Speaker 6: The jam several times apparently right at each shot. According
- 14:14Speaker 6: to police, they believe that it jammed maybe.
- 14:17Speaker 7: Because there was a silencer on the front, a silencer
- 14:19Speaker 7: that perhaps caused the jam to occur. But he did
- 14:22Speaker 7: clear it very quickly and efficiently, So he is somebody
- 14:25Speaker 7: who did do some practice training with that weapon beforehand.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Well, well, Lauren Colin, the gun jammed more than once.
- 14:32Speaker 5: Apparently it jammed between shots, but you know that didn't
- 14:36Speaker 5: stop him, so he kept shooting.
- 14:38Speaker 2: After he saw the er is yes, Okay, that's telling
- 14:41Speaker 2: me a lot right there, Daily Daily Daily, A pro
- 14:45Speaker 2: is going to take a gun that jams between every shot?
- 14:48Speaker 1: Really?
- 14:49Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I'm going.
- 14:51Speaker 7: To some of the forensic guess versus that by using
- 14:53Speaker 7: that silence, and again, silencers are nothings that you were
- 14:56Speaker 7: supposed to legally have, So if it was homemade, it
- 14:59Speaker 7: could have caused more this kind of malfunction of the weapon.
- 15:02Speaker 7: But again it did seem as though calmly he cleared
- 15:05Speaker 7: that weapon. He was able to pull a slide.
- 15:07Speaker 6: On the top.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Daily did you say homemade? Look, this is whoo, this
- 15:14Speaker 1: is smellon. This is not a pro. I don't even
- 15:17Speaker 1: know where that came from? A homemade silence.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Silencer, but come on, man, a homemade silencer that doesn't work,
- 15:31Speaker 2: a pretend professional killer stance, drinking a water bottle and
- 15:35Speaker 2: leaving it behind and hopping on a bike without gloves
- 15:39Speaker 2: and taking off no, no, uh uh I gotta figure
- 15:44Speaker 2: this thing out, guys. Why was a health ceo worth
- 15:50Speaker 2: millions of dollars gunned down in public?
- 15:55Speaker 1: Early early morning? Many people saying it's a pro killer.
- 16:00Speaker 4: The shooter then flees on foot northbound into an alleyway
- 16:03Speaker 4: between fifty fourth Street and fifty fifth Street. Once at
- 16:07Speaker 4: West fifty fifth Street, the shooter continues to walk westbound
- 16:09Speaker 4: on the Avenue in Americas, where he gets onto an
- 16:11Speaker 4: electric e city bike and rides northbound on the Avenue
- 16:14Speaker 4: Americas towards Central Park. At six forty eight am, we
- 16:19Speaker 4: have the shooter riding this bike into Central Park at
- 16:22Speaker 4: Center Drive. We're still tracking video. The last we see
- 16:24Speaker 4: with him on that bike is in Central Park. At
- 16:27Speaker 4: the scene, we recover three live nine millimeters rounds and
- 16:31Speaker 4: three discharged nine milimeters shell casings. The motor for this
- 16:34Speaker 4: murder currently is unknown, but based on the evidence we
- 16:37Speaker 4: have so far, it does appear that the victim was
- 16:40Speaker 4: specifically targeted. But at this point we do not know
- 16:43Speaker 4: why this does not appear to be a random act
- 16:45Speaker 4: of violence.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Okay, I know that, I know it's not random. Joining me,
- 16:48Speaker 2: high profile lawyer BERNARDA. Vielona, New York criminal defense attorney.
- 16:53Speaker 1: This is her bait. She is also a former prosecutor, BERNARDA.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. What do you make
- 17:00Speaker 1: it so far? Because not only did.
- 17:02Speaker 2: The pro assassin lead behind three discharged nine millimere shellcasings,
- 17:09Speaker 2: they were engraved with three cryptic words.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I mean, it's straight out of a crime novel and
- 17:18Speaker 1: another saying BERNARDA.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Anybody that knows how to type goog l E could
- 17:24Speaker 2: find out this guy was.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Speaking where and at what time? Yeah, but I.
- 17:28Speaker 9: Still think there's an inside job because in a sense
- 17:30Speaker 9: of they could have known where he was speaking, but
- 17:32Speaker 9: they wouldn't have known exactly what time he would have
- 17:35Speaker 9: been leaving out of his hotel. Because remember this shooter
- 17:38Speaker 9: had only been waiting about five minutes, so he had
- 17:41Speaker 9: to have had some kind of inside information to know
- 17:44Speaker 9: the exact time that Brian Thompson would have been leaving
- 17:47Speaker 9: his hotel.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Look all of this looks very shady.
- 17:49Speaker 9: I don't think it's a professional kill at all, because
- 17:52Speaker 9: number one, believing of the showcases and the bullets there,
- 17:56Speaker 9: and then jumping on a bike. I think there's a
- 17:58Speaker 9: lot more to this. I don't see that there's going
- 18:01Speaker 9: to be an arrest anytime soon, though.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Hold on just the moment on that Daily Bill Daily
- 18:08Speaker 2: with me former FBI investigator and joining us from New York,
- 18:12Speaker 2: intimately familiar with the ins and outs to alleyways where
- 18:16Speaker 2: this happened. The guy then goes to Central Park. That
- 18:20Speaker 2: was a pretty good move, and it's not that far
- 18:23Speaker 2: from where the shooting was by bike. But he goes
- 18:27Speaker 2: into Central Park, which is blanketed with surveillance.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Videos, I mean, and we can follow his drail.
- 18:35Speaker 2: He had to ditch the bike somewhere. I think that
- 18:38Speaker 2: we're going to find out where he leaves the bike.
- 18:40Speaker 2: And again no gloves. As you said earlier, of course
- 18:44Speaker 2: you got to have something to compare it to. If
- 18:45Speaker 2: he's not in the DNA or the APHIST database, we
- 18:50Speaker 2: don't have anything to match it too. But that said,
- 18:55Speaker 2: can we just agree this is not a pro.
- 18:57Speaker 7: Yeah, I surely agree it's not a pro I also
- 18:59Speaker 7: think that there's other probably kind of breadcrumbs left behind,
- 19:03Speaker 7: is that you know if this was connected with either
- 19:06Speaker 7: the business because of see that either of the had
- 19:09Speaker 7: been a customer who was certainly totally upset and obsessed
- 19:14Speaker 7: with this individual, or perhaps.
- 19:16Speaker 6: A former employee. That could have been a number of things.
- 19:18Speaker 7: But I think there you have to go back and
- 19:20Speaker 7: start looking at with their threats against the company. Apparently
- 19:22Speaker 7: according to the victim's wife there were, and if there were,
- 19:26Speaker 7: who was making those and what was the steps?
- 19:29Speaker 1: Let me stetch up with what you're.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Just saying, Bill Daily, Lauren Conlin. Now, according to one
- 19:36Speaker 2: person there have been threats on the victim's lawn, and
- 19:39Speaker 2: that is his wife. Were those threats ever reported to
- 19:45Speaker 2: l A law enforcement?
- 19:46Speaker 1: Nancy?
- 19:47Speaker 5: Those threats were never reported to law enforcement?
- 19:50Speaker 2: With me?
- 19:50Speaker 1: Also is Scott Iiker founding member.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I can't say this enough of the FBI's Cellular Analysis
- 19:57Speaker 2: Survey team.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Can I just say? He didn't just fall off the
- 20:01Speaker 1: turnip truck.
- 20:02Speaker 2: People, I ker if I was going to pick him off,
- 20:06Speaker 2: I would go somewhere with a silencer and wait out
- 20:11Speaker 2: in the middle of nowhere right let his body lay
- 20:13Speaker 2: there for three or four hours before.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Anybody figures anything out.
- 20:17Speaker 2: So why intentionally find him in New York City.
- 20:21Speaker 10: I agree, there's a lot of other places that you
- 20:24Speaker 10: could have done this murder, but there's a lot of
- 20:26Speaker 10: benefits of doing it in a crowded city also. I mean,
- 20:29Speaker 10: if you think about it, you might be able to
- 20:31Speaker 10: mix in with the regular people walking to and from work,
- 20:34Speaker 10: cars and everything like that.
- 20:36Speaker 11: He didn't think about all the cameras in the area.
- 20:39Speaker 11: He didn't think about all the people that might see
- 20:41Speaker 11: at different things. And obviously I agree with the other
- 20:45Speaker 11: gentleman that says I don't think this guy is a professional.
- 20:48Speaker 11: I do think he has some training. I mean, I
- 20:50Speaker 11: was on the FBI swat team. I shot twice a week,
- 20:54Speaker 11: and I can see that type of stance that he
- 20:57Speaker 11: had some training for him to do that in mouth
- 21:00Speaker 11: function clear clear that gone, shoot again, clear it clear it.
- 21:05Speaker 11: That takes training in time. So I think, at least
- 21:08Speaker 11: in my mind, he's made a lot of mistakes. I
- 21:11Speaker 11: don't think he's a professional. I totally agree with that,
- 21:14Speaker 11: but he has had some training, and we.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Are learning more from Chief of Detectives Joe Kenney.
- 21:19Speaker 4: From speaking to other employees that traveled with him to
- 21:21Speaker 4: New York. Doesn't seem that he had these security detail.
- 21:24Speaker 4: He left the hotel by himself, was walking, didn't seem
- 21:28Speaker 4: like he had any issues at all. So I don't
- 21:31Speaker 4: think he did not have his security detail.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Lauren Conlin correct me if I'm wrong.
- 21:35Speaker 2: But wasn't there just a firefighter's pension fund that sued
- 21:40Speaker 2: the victim because he dumped about thirty one percent of
- 21:45Speaker 2: his stock made fifteen million dollars just before everything went south, right,
- 21:51Speaker 2: and there's a complaint about that. Yet that's happening. The
- 21:56Speaker 2: wife says, there's death threats. He's worth million millions of
- 22:00Speaker 2: dollars and he doesn't have security detail.
- 22:03Speaker 5: Yes, his net worth is forty three million dollars, Nancy.
- 22:06Speaker 5: And not only that, I found a plethora of lawsuits.
- 22:11Speaker 5: He was accused of creating an algorithm to deny patients coverage.
- 22:16Speaker 5: So I found quite a few lawsuits there. And then
- 22:19Speaker 5: additionally there was a data breach a few I believe
- 22:23Speaker 5: it was February of twenty twenty four, where many many
- 22:26Speaker 5: people were at.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Risk and not happy crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Luigi Mangioni's outbursted court is not doing him any favors.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Get ready, MANGIONI, you are facing state and federal trials.
- 22:51Speaker 2: That was something you should have considered before you allegedly
- 22:56Speaker 2: gunned down a guy in broad day light on the
- 22:59Speaker 2: side walk in Manhattan, the so called capital of the world.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Did you think that was okay? It's not. These are
- 23:11Speaker 1: the facts as we know them. Listen to this.
- 23:13Speaker 2: It's just like a fifth grade girl writes an action
- 23:17Speaker 2: thriller or tries to listen.
- 23:19Speaker 12: Please have released a new chilling detail in the assassination
- 23:22Speaker 12: style shooting. Three live rounds and three shellcasings recovered from
- 23:26Speaker 12: the crime scene, and cops are now saying there are
- 23:28Speaker 12: inscriptions on the shellcasings. The words deny, defend, and depose
- 23:34Speaker 12: were engraved on the bullets.
- 23:35Speaker 2: So the words deny, defend, and depose were engraved on
- 23:41Speaker 2: the bullets.
- 23:42Speaker 1: By who? The local jeweler.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Joining me right now is a ballistics expert Joseph Scott Morgan,
- 23:49Speaker 2: Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My
- 23:53Speaker 2: Feet on Amazon, and star of a hit series Body Bags.
- 23:57Speaker 1: That Joe Scott Morgan, Joe Scott Really, okay, I can't
- 24:02Speaker 1: hammer this enough.
- 24:03Speaker 2: A pro what did they write it in fancy cursive
- 24:07Speaker 2: defend deposed?
- 24:09Speaker 1: Seriously, that sounds like the ransom.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Note left behind in John Bennet a small foreign faction
- 24:15Speaker 2: once one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars stop.
- 24:18Speaker 13: What's really fascinating about this, Nancy is the fact that
- 24:22Speaker 13: they've got three spent casings that are on the ground,
- 24:24Speaker 13: and then they have the three live rounds, and he's
- 24:28Speaker 13: having to try to clear this weapon because he's had
- 24:30Speaker 13: a malfunction, which actually does occur with some frequency when
- 24:35Speaker 13: you have a suppressed weapon. And the fact that he
- 24:41Speaker 13: had engraving and I keep hearing this term, this engraving
- 24:45Speaker 13: that was on the casing, the fact that he had
- 24:52Speaker 13: a jam in the weapon, I would think that it
- 24:56Speaker 13: would be engraved on all of the rounds. So how
- 24:58Speaker 13: can you plan for that, For instance, that these rounds
- 25:01Speaker 13: are stacked, which they would be in a magazine, and
- 25:05Speaker 13: every time he clears it, he's going to eject a
- 25:09Speaker 13: live round as opposed to those that were spent when
- 25:12Speaker 13: he was firing. If you watch the sequence on a video,
- 25:15Speaker 13: he fires once and then it looks like he clears,
- 25:19Speaker 13: but he may have actually cleared two rounds at that
- 25:22Speaker 13: point time that we're still live because the weapon is
- 25:25Speaker 13: jamming on him and he has to cycle through it,
- 25:28Speaker 13: so he's taken a lot of time. My suspicion is
- 25:32Speaker 13: it might be there might be engraving on all of
- 25:34Speaker 13: the rounds, and that he has taken a lot of
- 25:37Speaker 13: time somewhere, probably you know, at home or wherever it is.
- 25:41Speaker 13: He shows up prepared to a certain degree, although he
- 25:43Speaker 13: didn't wear gloves and he didn't fully mask his face.
- 25:48Speaker 13: There's a lot still to kind of untangle here, but
- 25:51Speaker 13: that point is certainly fascinating. I've never encountered this before
- 25:56Speaker 13: in my years in forensics to this degree. Now Hollywood
- 26:00Speaker 13: makes a big deal out of this kind of thing,
- 26:02Speaker 13: but it's just not something you commonly run into. My
- 26:06Speaker 13: question is what's the skill level of the engraving in
- 26:09Speaker 13: addition to attempting to define how this was engraved, what
- 26:16Speaker 13: instrumentality was used, and then maybe the folks will be
- 26:19Speaker 13: able to pick up on some form in his writing
- 26:22Speaker 13: if he's doing this freehand.
- 26:24Speaker 12: Brian Thompson's wife, Paulette tells NBC News that Brian has
- 26:27Speaker 12: been receiving death threats. She doesn't go into detail, saying
- 26:30Speaker 12: it was basically due to a lack of coverage. She
- 26:33Speaker 12: she doesn't know exactly, but Brian said there were some
- 26:35Speaker 12: people that had been threatening him.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Straight back out to Joe Scott Morgan joining us. Jo Scott,
- 26:42Speaker 2: if I said earlier, if there was a death thought
- 26:44Speaker 2: on my husband a, I wouldn't let him travel alone
- 26:47Speaker 2: to New York. I would at least go with him
- 26:49Speaker 2: at the very least. But that said, they have children
- 26:52Speaker 2: to take care of back at home. But no security detail,
- 26:56Speaker 2: no police reports, nothing, And she is the only one
- 27:01Speaker 2: coming forward with the alleged threats if they weren't reported
- 27:04Speaker 2: to police, can anyone within the company verify this ever happened?
- 27:09Speaker 13: Well, if he hasn't spoken of this to anybody that's
- 27:12Speaker 13: around him, but why would he not, you know, say
- 27:16Speaker 13: something about this. And let me tell you one more thing.
- 27:18Speaker 13: A guy that is in his atmosphere. You know, we
- 27:21Speaker 13: see all these celebrities, so called celebrities that are out
- 27:23Speaker 13: there that have these you know, security details with it.
- 27:27Speaker 13: This is a guy, Nancy, that actually has a level
- 27:31Speaker 13: of value and would heighten anybody's a census relative to
- 27:38Speaker 13: the danger he could potentially be in. Why wouldn't you
- 27:41Speaker 13: put a couple of people on him to check the
- 27:43Speaker 13: rout at least to be body people that are going
- 27:45Speaker 13: to score him around. Maybe he didn't want that. I
- 27:48Speaker 13: have no idea, but I do know that he's a
- 27:51Speaker 13: prime target. It's just fascinating to me that they chose
- 27:54Speaker 13: this particular location, this individual went about it in this
- 27:57Speaker 13: manner because I agree with all the other panelists. I
- 28:01Speaker 13: think this guy has some weapons familiarity, but he is
- 28:04Speaker 13: in no way of pro If he had been a pro,
- 28:07Speaker 13: we would not have seen the video last that long.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Scott, if you're sitting down, you may need to lay
- 28:15Speaker 2: down for what you're about to hear.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 28:17Speaker 12: The suspect was reportedly spoted outside a public housing project
- 28:20Speaker 12: roughly three miles from the crime scene at five am,
- 28:22Speaker 12: caring what look like an e bike battery. He's then
- 28:25Speaker 12: seen again checking out at Starbucks not far from the Hilton,
- 28:28Speaker 12: just minutes before the attack. It's unclear what exactly the
- 28:31Speaker 12: suspect purchase, but police believe a water bottle and candy
- 28:34Speaker 12: wrapper left at the crime scene may belong to the shooter,
- 28:37Speaker 12: and are testing the items for latent fingerprints and DNA.
- 28:40Speaker 1: The next thing, we're going to hear Lauren Colin, is
- 28:42Speaker 1: that the shooter used a credit card.
- 28:44Speaker 2: I mean he hung out at a Starbucks just before
- 28:49Speaker 2: the shooting, and of course places himself at a public
- 28:52Speaker 2: housing project. Yeah, that's right. Blame the people of the
- 28:55Speaker 2: housing project somehow drag that into it. I guarantee you
- 28:59Speaker 2: that was orchestra three miles from the scene with what
- 29:02Speaker 2: looked to be carrying an e bike battery in cases
- 29:06Speaker 2: e bike crapped.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Out on him.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Now, at first, this is reported to be a city bike,
- 29:10Speaker 2: the kind that are easily accessed all around New York City.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Now we're hearing it may not be a city bike.
- 29:16Speaker 2: That said, then he's at Starbucks just beside the Hilton
- 29:21Speaker 2: minutes before the attack, staring straight into the surveillance cameras.
- 29:25Speaker 2: So there's not just a water bottle he leaves behind
- 29:28Speaker 2: a candy wrapper. Somebody needs a bit of honey, somebody
- 29:31Speaker 2: wants the starbus before a murder.
- 29:33Speaker 5: Yes, and there also have been reports that NYPD believes
- 29:38Speaker 5: that he may have actually taken this subway from the
- 29:41Speaker 5: Upper west Side to Midtown and to that Starbucks.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Wait, then, if he was on the Upper west Side,
- 29:49Speaker 2: then he spotted at a housing project. There's not a
- 29:54Speaker 2: housing project on the Upper West Side. Okay, that's where
- 29:57Speaker 2: all the rich people live. To look down on Central Park,
- 30:00Speaker 2: there's not a housing project there. So does he leave
- 30:02Speaker 2: the Upper West to go to a housing project to
- 30:04Speaker 2: be spotted and then go to the Starbucks?
- 30:07Speaker 1: Well, that's what police are trying to figure out, and
- 30:09Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 30:10Speaker 5: Well, I'm hoping that he did take the subway because
- 30:13Speaker 5: Mayor Eric Adams did implement more cameras earlier this year.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Okay, I got a lot of surveillance on this guy,
- 30:20Speaker 2: but you're right, subway would help me figure out where
- 30:23Speaker 2: he's coming from.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Where he's going, and how he knows those paths.
- 30:28Speaker 2: I'm still flummoxed by the fact that he would leave
- 30:34Speaker 2: a water bottle with his DNA on it, a candy wrapper,
- 30:38Speaker 2: take a bike, no gloves, has a pretend pro shooter stance,
- 30:44Speaker 2: and has engraved bullets. For Pete's sake, why not just
- 30:47Speaker 2: throw down your driver's license before you leave? Okay, Now
- 30:52Speaker 2: we hear about a potential eyewitness that goes on the run.
- 30:57Speaker 12: Police still have not identified the eyewitness who and from
- 31:00Speaker 12: the scene is Thompson was gunned down. A woman dressed
- 31:02Speaker 12: in dark clothing and holding a coffee cup, was standing
- 31:05Speaker 12: in a doorway just feet away from Thompson when the
- 31:07Speaker 12: shooter open fire. She runs along the building toward the
- 31:10Speaker 12: shooter to avoid the gunfire and disappears from frame. Authorities
- 31:13Speaker 12: are asking her to come forward, hoping she may be
- 31:16Speaker 12: able to provide new details on the shooter.
- 31:18Speaker 4: As a cell phone recovered in the alleyway. We're working
- 31:20Speaker 4: through that cell phone. Obviously, we'll be processing it forensically
- 31:23Speaker 4: at as far as words being exchanged. We do not
- 31:25Speaker 4: have audio of the incident. We only have the regular video.
- 31:28Speaker 14: What is the address of your emergency?
- 31:31Speaker 15: That's really an emergency?
- 31:32Speaker 1: I don't I have a customer here that some other.
- 31:36Speaker 13: Customers were suspicious of that he looks like the CEO
- 31:39Speaker 13: shooter from.
- 31:40Speaker 4: York, Okay.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Straight out to Kila Brantley, joining US investigative reporter at
- 31:47Speaker 2: large dailymail dot com. Did they actually say in court
- 31:53Speaker 2: that their client, Luigimangioni is the victim because his quote beautiful,
- 31:58Speaker 2: promising life has been derailed.
- 32:01Speaker 16: Yeah, Nancy. As you mentioned, his team did paint him
- 32:05Speaker 16: as someone with a promising future. Now, one thing that
- 32:07Speaker 16: had been documented was that Luigi suffered from debilitating back pain.
- 32:12Speaker 16: This was something that he went through. He went through
- 32:15Speaker 16: back surgery. And one thing that they say here is
- 32:18Speaker 16: that the real enemy here is the medical system, and
- 32:22Speaker 16: that is one thing that you can definitely expect. His
- 32:25Speaker 16: legal team argue.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Right, Kila, can I believe you are my lieon eyes
- 32:32Speaker 2: control room? Please show me him a running along the
- 32:36Speaker 2: beach in Hawaii. I've got videos of him lifting up
- 32:39Speaker 2: girls and tickling them.
- 32:41Speaker 1: It's a video.
- 32:43Speaker 2: They're all giggling hysterically, including him. I've got photos of
- 32:47Speaker 2: him lounging by the beach.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I'd love to see.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Those photos of him hiking and what looks to be
- 32:53Speaker 2: a jungle rainfall. Oh, he is feeling no pain there,
- 32:57Speaker 2: Kila Brantley, I hope you don't fall for that hook
- 32:59Speaker 2: like and seeker. Doctor Judy Hoe, did you know that
- 33:03Speaker 2: Luigimi Andngioni is apparently the victim in this scenario. Doctor
- 33:07Speaker 2: Judy Hoe is joining US clinical forensic neuro psychologist, author
- 33:11Speaker 2: of the New Rules of Attachment and another bestseller, Stop
- 33:16Speaker 2: Self Sabotage. You need to write one, doctor Judy Hoe,
- 33:19Speaker 2: about try to tell the truth and then send it.
- 33:23Speaker 2: You know, I'll pay for it and we can send
- 33:24Speaker 2: it to Luigi Mangioni. He is not the victim here,
- 33:28Speaker 2: but you know, you can't count out the defense attorney Agnafello.
- 33:33Speaker 2: He got Sean Combs off on the major accusations in
- 33:37Speaker 2: that indictment. So no matter how ridiculous I may think
- 33:41Speaker 2: he sounds, he essentially.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Won that case.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Yes, his defense team that claims Luigimngioni is the victim.
- 33:49Speaker 1: I want to read it, doctor Judy Hope.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Beautiful promising life derailed by those irritating murder charges.
- 33:57Speaker 17: Judy, Wow, beautiful promising life, Nancy, what a narrative. And
- 34:03Speaker 17: as you said, even though he's not the victim.
- 34:06Speaker 18: I think this is why there has been a fan
- 34:08Speaker 18: base though, because there's these individuals who actually believe maybe
- 34:12Speaker 18: he is a victim, that he's some type of anti heroo,
- 34:15Speaker 18: that he's misunderstood. And oftentimes we see this in individuals
- 34:20Speaker 18: who might act charismatically, they just seem to pull people in.
- 34:26Speaker 18: And it's weird because a lot of these people who
- 34:28Speaker 18: develop this sort of fan fanhood around Luigi, they're kind
- 34:33Speaker 18: of thinking, well, maybe I can be a special person
- 34:36Speaker 18: in his life, maybe he'll pay attention to me. Maybe
- 34:38Speaker 18: I can even develop a friendship with this person. This
- 34:41Speaker 18: person might learn to trust me. It's really interesting, but
- 34:44Speaker 18: some of it actually has to do with a self
- 34:46Speaker 18: centeredness of people who might actually talk.
- 34:48Speaker 17: To him, that they're hoping to get something special out
- 34:51Speaker 17: of it for themselves.
- 34:53Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Dartigidio.
- 34:55Speaker 2: I know you're the clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, but I
- 34:59Speaker 2: don't even know it. You just said, how can the
- 35:02Speaker 2: defense stand up and say this is not about the
- 35:06Speaker 2: murder victim? Can we show please, Brian Thompson walking along
- 35:14Speaker 2: and he's gunned down in cold blood, leaving behind two
- 35:17Speaker 2: sons and a wife. That's the victim. According to prosecutors,
- 35:22Speaker 2: it's Luigi Mangioni holding a three D weapon that he
- 35:26Speaker 2: made that it took dozens and dozens of hours to make,
- 35:30Speaker 2: so he can gun down a guy walking to work
- 35:33Speaker 2: in the back. You stated, I don't know what that was,
- 35:38Speaker 2: doctor Judijo. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying
- 35:42Speaker 2: I'm just a trial lawyer didn't understand it. But I
- 35:45Speaker 2: think I know some of the people that consider Luigi
- 35:49Speaker 2: Mangioni to be the victim, and here they are filing
- 35:54Speaker 2: in to court. Okay, oh what Luigi fights fashion. It's okay,
- 36:02Speaker 2: look at this line. Now, wait till you see the
- 36:06Speaker 2: cat walk parade of sad sack women filing in.
- 36:13Speaker 1: To They won't even show their face to get a
- 36:15Speaker 1: glimpse of Luigi MANGIONI.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Yes, keep it going, keep it going, because I've got
- 36:26Speaker 2: hours of people. Yeah, that was totally walking the cat
- 36:30Speaker 2: walk right there, clamoring to get in to just bask
- 36:34Speaker 2: in the glow of Luigi MANGIONI. Oh, it keeps going.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Yeah, on and on. They had to turn women away,
- 36:44Speaker 1: and it's not just women. Listen.
- 36:48Speaker 19: So this is who police believe was responsible for the
- 36:50Speaker 19: United Healthcare ceo pp his names Koubichi. All I can
- 36:55Speaker 19: say is Mia, does he need a Mario? I believe
- 36:59Speaker 19: it was a great philosopher and poet once said, Mama,
- 37:02Speaker 19: I'm in love with a criminal, and this type of
- 37:05Speaker 19: love isn't rational, it's physical. That was Britney Spears, and
- 37:10Speaker 19: I believe we're all feeling that right now. I believe
- 37:12Speaker 19: if you're going to do superhero like shit, you better
- 37:14Speaker 19: look like one. Okay, this man clearly did them. Did
- 37:17Speaker 19: he train at the Marvel studios with all the other
- 37:19Speaker 19: chriss okay, because Luigi, that's a spicy meat the ball.
- 37:23Speaker 19: I'm so sorry. I believe if we're going to claim
- 37:25Speaker 19: to be a Christian nation, that we need to act
- 37:27Speaker 19: like one. And part of acting like that is practicing forgiveness.
- 37:32Speaker 19: And after a lot of seconds of thinking, I have
- 37:35Speaker 19: decided I'm gonna forgive him. I'm ready to forgive him, right,
- 37:39Speaker 19: but not forget, because in my God, how could you
- 37:42Speaker 19: forget an angel like this. I'm not gonna lie for
- 37:44Speaker 19: a while. I thought, oh my God, we're never going
- 37:45Speaker 19: to find him, you know, And I was wrong, because
- 37:48Speaker 19: somewhere along the way, the ups and downs, the highs
- 37:50Speaker 19: and lows, the masks and no masks, this man he
- 37:55Speaker 19: found a way into our hearts.
- 37:59Speaker 6: He did.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I hardly even know where to start with that. That
- 38:04Speaker 2: is from mister Williams sprick on TikTok.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I'm in love with the criminal.
- 38:10Speaker 2: And I forgive him after a few seconds of consideration,
- 38:16Speaker 2: Doctor Gudy hoe it. I can't say it gets worse,
- 38:21Speaker 2: but there's more.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Listen, you can't take my mind.
- 38:28Speaker 20: And say there's blood on his head.
- 38:34Speaker 2: When you're the one with the girl.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Who's taking lives for fun.
- 38:46Speaker 2: You can't take my man. That's from Scarlett park TikTok.
- 38:50Speaker 2: So it's gone beyond calling him a spicy meatball. These
- 38:55Speaker 2: people actually consider Luigimi and Gioni there man, and they
- 39:01Speaker 2: are angry with the fans for prosecuting. What have I
- 39:05Speaker 2: gone down the rabbit hole? Am I in some crazy
- 39:09Speaker 2: bizarre alice in Wonderland? What is happening, doctor gudi Hoe.
- 39:14Speaker 17: I know it seems completely unbelievable, Nancy, but this does happen.
- 39:18Speaker 18: People start to idolize these potential I mean, clearly this
- 39:24Speaker 18: is a defendant, right, but they're thinking, in their minds,
- 39:27Speaker 18: this person is innocent. Maybe I'm going to be their
- 39:30Speaker 18: special person, and they're lusting after them the way that
- 39:32Speaker 18: they would lust after a celebrity, especially when they see
- 39:36Speaker 18: photos and videos that they can start cutting into their
- 39:39Speaker 18: own social media. They're developing a fictionalized relationship with him,
- 39:43Speaker 18: a fantasy and essentially completely erasing all of the facts
- 39:47Speaker 18: that have been evident in this case. And clearly the
- 39:50Speaker 18: defendant's attorneys are trying to paint that picture as well,
- 39:52Speaker 18: leaning into it as hard as possible because they're hoping
- 39:55Speaker 18: to influence the public opinion even before a jury is selected,
- 39:59Speaker 18: so that they and hopefully get him the outcome that
- 40:02Speaker 18: he wants, which is apparently to escape a.
- 40:05Speaker 17: Death sentence, escape prison. Maybe I'm not sure exactly what
- 40:09Speaker 17: they think is possible, but that's what's so scary about
- 40:12Speaker 17: all the positivity that has developed around his persona in
- 40:16Speaker 17: terms of all of these illustrations, the website they set
- 40:18Speaker 17: up about and it's really concerning.
- 40:20Speaker 2: And you know, Cheryl mccollumy is joining me. Cold Case
- 40:23Speaker 2: Investigative Research Institute, founder, author of a brand new book,
- 40:27Speaker 2: Swans Don't Swim in a Sewer, Solving the cold Case
- 40:31Speaker 2: of the Flint River Killer's Daughter on Amazon.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Cheryl, Okay, do you remember the.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Night that you and I were out until two o'clock
- 40:42Speaker 2: in the morning staking out a location where we thought
- 40:47Speaker 2: Luigi Mangioni was going to be apprehended. Do you remember
- 40:49Speaker 2: that night, because I sure do I do. How has
- 40:52Speaker 2: this gotten so bass awkwards, Cheryl.
- 40:57Speaker 15: Nanthy, It is mind boggling any body is trying to
- 41:01Speaker 15: paint this killer as the victim. I mean, the victim's
- 41:06Speaker 15: life was not just promising, it was in full swing.
- 41:11Speaker 15: He had a wife and children and a career at
- 41:15Speaker 15: the highest level. He had friends and extended family, He
- 41:20Speaker 15: had everything going for him. Mangione had none of that,
- 41:26Speaker 15: but he took everything from those children. And I'm going
- 41:31Speaker 15: to tell you something, when you look at the people
- 41:35Speaker 15: that are contacting him, I hope and pray that those
- 41:39Speaker 15: six thousand letters that he's gotten, that one hundred and
- 41:43Speaker 15: fifteen a day, that there's some good intel in there too,
- 41:47Speaker 15: because he is writing people back, so he's communicating, and
- 41:52Speaker 15: I hope they're listing every piece of it.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Somehow this has gotten topsy turvy upside down. I haven't
- 41:59Speaker 2: even got into the legal implications of what is happening
- 42:03Speaker 2: in court.
- 42:04Speaker 1: I'm just so concerned that one of these.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Nutjobs is going to end up on the ultimate jury
- 42:11Speaker 2: and acquit Luigi Manngioni under the misconception that he is
- 42:16Speaker 2: somehow the victim.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Again.
- 42:18Speaker 2: In court, his lawyers and unquoting claimed that his beautiful,
- 42:25Speaker 2: promising life has been.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Derailed by murder charges. It's all about me, me, me, me,
- 42:34Speaker 1: me me.
- 42:35Speaker 2: This is a millionaire's son, multimillionaire who grew up with
- 42:40Speaker 2: silver spoon stuck in his mouth and has been living
- 42:44Speaker 2: in a Hawaii high rise of the beach doing nothing,
- 42:49Speaker 2: and yet he's the victim. Can you imagine, Cheryl McCollum,
- 42:53Speaker 2: how hard Thompson had to work to get to become
- 42:57Speaker 2: the CEO at United Healthcare. It wasn't handed to him
- 43:01Speaker 2: on a silver platter on top of a Christmas tree
- 43:03Speaker 2: like it was Mangione. He had to work and sacrifice long,
- 43:09Speaker 2: long hours to get to where he got to to
- 43:12Speaker 2: be gunned down like a dog on the sidewalk, Cheryl.
- 43:16Speaker 15: Nancy, you cannot compare these two people. That's why I
- 43:20Speaker 15: agree with you. This whole thing is upside down. Not
- 43:23Speaker 15: only did the victim work and sacrifice, so did his wife.
- 43:28Speaker 15: You know what it takes. You know how long David
- 43:31Speaker 15: has gone during the day. It's not an eight hour day,
- 43:35Speaker 15: It's a sixteen seventeen hour game. He was playing at
- 43:38Speaker 15: the top of his game. There's no doubt about it.
- 43:41Speaker 15: Mangione was giving nothing to a family, He was giving
- 43:46Speaker 15: nothing to society. He was contributing zow and again, what
- 43:52Speaker 15: he took cannot even be measured.
- 43:56Speaker 2: If I hear one more person talk about his back pain,
- 43:58Speaker 2: that's you, calib Brantley. I think my head's gonna blow
- 44:02Speaker 2: off because I have videos of him tickling these girls
- 44:06Speaker 2: and picking them up just before the shooting.
- 44:10Speaker 1: I can't show it because it has the girl's faces
- 44:13Speaker 1: in it. But he was feeling no pain. But it's
- 44:18Speaker 1: all about me, Me, me, me, me, why me? And
- 44:22Speaker 1: he's certainly not the first. Let me refresh your recollection.
- 44:26Speaker 2: As we say in court with bride killer Jamie Lee Komarowski.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Listen to her, I don't know why.
- 44:34Speaker 18: That's hard to happen to me, because bad things happen
- 44:38Speaker 18: to good people. Honey, that's why it's just feet.
- 44:43Speaker 6: It's just something that happened to you. And we are
- 44:47Speaker 6: going to deal with the best week.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Okay, Dave Mack joining me, crimes towards investigator, reporter. You
- 44:53Speaker 2: know who the bride killer is, right, Jamie Lee Komarowski.
- 44:56Speaker 2: She's guilty.
- 44:58Speaker 1: She got totally thinking drunk, Anne plowed into.
- 45:04Speaker 2: A beautiful bride leaving her wedding reception with the groom
- 45:09Speaker 2: and killed her. And there she is behind bars, going,
- 45:13Speaker 2: why is this happening to me?
- 45:17Speaker 14: One look and listen to her father, Nancy. What does
- 45:20Speaker 14: he say, Well, bad things happen to good people.
- 45:24Speaker 13: No they don't.
- 45:26Speaker 14: You just killed somebody because of your own actions. But see,
- 45:30Speaker 14: we've got a whole group of people now that never
- 45:32Speaker 14: want to admit they did anything wrong. Everything is on them.
- 45:36Speaker 14: How can you possibly think man Joni is sitting here
- 45:40Speaker 14: saying his life is derailed, Well, he destroyed another life
- 45:43Speaker 14: and another family. Cambarowski sitting in jail, Why is this
- 45:46Speaker 14: happening to me?
- 45:48Speaker 1: Well?
- 45:48Speaker 13: Why not?
- 45:48Speaker 14: What do you expect?
- 45:49Speaker 13: What happened?
- 45:50Speaker 21: Sick of this?
- 45:51Speaker 14: Nancy is getting really tiresome.
- 45:53Speaker 2: And there is her victim, Samantha Miller in her wedding dress,
- 45:58Speaker 2: just before she's mowed down dead by Jamie Lee Komrowski.
- 46:01Speaker 1: And here's I guess this would have to be the
- 46:04Speaker 1: Miss Universe of Wyme Jody Arius. Check her out.
- 46:09Speaker 2: She is more concerned about her makeup as she is
- 46:13Speaker 2: approaching trial in the brutal stabbing and shooting death of
- 46:17Speaker 2: her fiance, Travis Alexander, who was stabbed at least twenty
- 46:23Speaker 2: nine times. Joe Scott Morgan and I have argued about that.
- 46:26Speaker 2: I say it was more than that. Checking out, Jody Arius,
- 46:30Speaker 2: you should have at least done your makeup before you
- 46:32Speaker 2: speak to police about murdering your fiance when he broke
- 46:36Speaker 2: up and started seeing someone else. That earlier video from
- 46:40Speaker 2: forty eight hours Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, do you
- 46:44Speaker 2: recall Travis Alexander's death? Hey, stay on that video because
- 46:49Speaker 2: as they're about to question her about what could have
- 46:51Speaker 2: happened to Travis Alexander, she starts singing and there you go,
- 46:55Speaker 2: does a headstand and bemoans the fact she doesn't have
- 46:58Speaker 2: on her lip gloss. Talk about me, me, me, Joe Scott,
- 47:02Speaker 2: what happened to Travis?
- 47:04Speaker 21: Yeah, he was brutally murdered, Nancy. She had him stripped down, nude,
- 47:10Speaker 21: taking a shower, taking dirtie pictures, if you will, And
- 47:15Speaker 21: while his back is turned, she takes a knife and
- 47:17Speaker 21: plunges it into his back over and over and over again.
- 47:21Speaker 21: When he turns around to defend himself to try to
- 47:24Speaker 21: parry her stabs at him, he gets stabbed in the
- 47:29Speaker 21: chest as well. And if it wasn't enough, after he
- 47:33Speaker 21: spits up blood onto his stink, onto his seink, he
- 47:37Speaker 21: crawls tries to crawl away from her down the hallway.
- 47:41Speaker 21: She straddles him and cuts his throat from ear to
- 47:44Speaker 21: ear and the koupdi gras she shoots him after he
- 47:48Speaker 21: is dead. That's the kind of human that you're looking
- 47:52Speaker 21: at right here. She's absolutely disgusting.
- 47:55Speaker 1: And it's all about me.
- 47:57Speaker 2: May Meescott Morgan, you've seen it all. I'm gonna try
- 48:01Speaker 2: to say you show you something you haven't seen yet.
- 48:02Speaker 2: Speaking of me, me, me, and criminal defendants focusing only
- 48:07Speaker 2: on themselves and not their victims. There is the drunk, stinking,
- 48:11Speaker 2: drunk a d A Assistant district's attorney Devin flannag and
- 48:15Speaker 2: listen to her.
- 48:20Speaker 1: But the protocol is your protocol is by as you
- 48:23Speaker 1: to turn.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Off the body, can you have to turn it off?
- 48:25Speaker 2: And that's your protocol, lawyer.
- 48:27Speaker 1: So she knows, well that's lawyer stuf.
- 48:29Speaker 21: So that's not true.
- 48:30Speaker 1: So we gotta go. No it is, that's that's the law.
- 48:33Speaker 17: I'm an aging, I'm an aging.
- 48:35Speaker 2: Good for you.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Those two were kicked out of I think it was
- 48:40Speaker 2: a bar for being drunk and belligerent. Then you've got
- 48:44Speaker 2: oh gosh, she's been called the screaming bands, and do
- 48:47Speaker 2: you hear going I'm an a da, I'm an a da.
- 48:49Speaker 1: Every sin it starts with I.
- 48:51Speaker 2: I I listen to this woman, Joe Scott, he need
- 48:56Speaker 2: not touch me he.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Wants to call it all. We're gonna go through that row. No,
- 49:02Speaker 1: he wants to go through assault. No, we're not doing that.
- 49:06Speaker 15: Then no, he he claims I assaulted him.
- 49:10Speaker 7: No, we're not doing that.
- 49:11Speaker 1: We're not doing that.
- 49:13Speaker 2: And then, of course maybe this one beats Jody Arius. No, no, no,
- 49:18Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to go with Luigi Mangioni and his
- 49:20Speaker 2: beautiful life. Dearield, I'm sure you recalled Shana Hubers that
- 49:24Speaker 2: gave her ex boyfriend the quote nose job he always
- 49:29Speaker 2: wanted with a handgun.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Listen, very vain.
- 49:35Speaker 22: One of our last conversations we had that was good
- 49:37Speaker 22: was sitting once my best friend of the nists to
- 49:39Speaker 22: do with the nerror and want to get a nose job.
- 49:42Speaker 6: Just that kind of person.
- 49:43Speaker 22: And I'm right here.
- 49:45Speaker 2: I gave him his nose job.
- 49:47Speaker 6: He wanted.
- 49:49Speaker 18: Want to marry me if I kill my boyfriend and helped.
- 49:55Speaker 17: Not funny, but I'm not.
- 50:01Speaker 2: You know, Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics and death Investigator.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Your forte is dead, bodies and causes of death.
- 50:09Speaker 1: And modes of death. Let me go to special guests
- 50:13Speaker 1: joining us now.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Doctor Angela Arnold, renowned psychiatrist joining us out of the
- 50:19Speaker 2: Atlanta jurisdiction.
- 50:20Speaker 1: Doctor Angie Arnold, what is that?
- 50:23Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this for yourself, but
- 50:26Speaker 2: me Andngioni's defensive team is actually.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Arguing his life was derailed by the murder charges.
- 50:32Speaker 23: You know, Nancy, My thought is that's all they've got.
- 50:36Speaker 23: Who cares if his life was derailed. He is accused
- 50:41Speaker 23: of murdering someone. Maybe his life should be derailed. But
- 50:46Speaker 23: the way I feel about this is, Nancy, that's all
- 50:48Speaker 23: they've got to say. That is the only thing they've got.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Let's talk about the facts and the law.
- 50:55Speaker 12: Listen, speaking orders as she tells the operator, I have
- 50:58Speaker 12: a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of that.
- 51:02Speaker 12: He looks like the CEO shooter in New York, and
- 51:05Speaker 12: they're generally upset and come to me, and I'm like,
- 51:07Speaker 12: I can't approach him. The manager continues working and can
- 51:11Speaker 12: be heard talking about bagels, at one point shouting one
- 51:14Speaker 12: of them is no better. The nine one one operator
- 51:17Speaker 12: Emily States, testifies about the call and is heard to
- 51:20Speaker 12: ask for a description, with the manager applying, the only
- 51:23Speaker 12: thing you can see is the eyebrows joining us.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Is Skuy Lazarro.
- 51:28Speaker 2: She's a veteran criminal defense attorney. She's practiced in both
- 51:31Speaker 2: She's practiced in both state and federal court. She is
- 51:34Speaker 2: with Ray Quinny and Nebecker. Sky, thank you for being
- 51:38Speaker 2: with us. If the defense is arguing that Luigimi and
- 51:42Speaker 2: Gione was illegally arrested, the nine to one one call
- 51:49Speaker 2: occurred before the arrest, So what could be the possible
- 51:53Speaker 2: grounds for suppressing that call by the McDonald's manager.
- 51:58Speaker 24: I think they're going to have a really hard time.
- 52:00Speaker 24: I'm keeping the nine one one call out. I can
- 52:02Speaker 24: understand it from a defense perspective. You have to try,
- 52:05Speaker 24: but when it comes to nine one one calls, as
- 52:07Speaker 24: long as you can lay the foundation for it, it's
- 52:10Speaker 24: probably coming in.
- 52:12Speaker 2: I can tell you one thing I know Sky Lazarro,
- 52:16Speaker 2: that they hate about this nine to one one call.
- 52:20Speaker 2: We had the same thing happen in the Idaho Slighings
- 52:25Speaker 2: of four Beautiful Idaho University Students, where Dylan Mortenson described
- 52:31Speaker 2: Brian Coberger's freaky, bushy eyebrows.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Listen, just remember.
- 52:35Speaker 22: Seeing this figure that was like not fat obviously, but
- 52:39Speaker 22: more of like the skinnier tongue build and some mask
- 52:42Speaker 22: on I don't know what the mask exactly was, but
- 52:45Speaker 22: when I thought about it, it was just like covering
- 52:47Speaker 22: here and here. I don't know if it's covering his
- 52:48Speaker 22: mouth his nose or below his mouth and nose. I
- 52:51Speaker 22: just remember knowing that he was white, but I didn't
- 52:54Speaker 22: know how he was white.
- 52:55Speaker 1: I just knew he was.
- 52:56Speaker 22: And this knowing there's like I knew he looked at me.
- 52:59Speaker 11: Because the Bushy's.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Alleged Chiller, the so called sexy assassin, that's like a
- 53:18Speaker 2: dirt sandwich whenever I say that is facing a state
- 53:22Speaker 2: and a federal trial in the shooting death of Healthcare
- 53:27Speaker 2: CEO Brian Thompson. I might add again, who was a
- 53:31Speaker 2: husband and a father. You don't hear much from his family.
- 53:37Speaker 2: They're dealing with their grief privately. But I heard plenty
- 53:41Speaker 2: from Angioni the other day in court. His outburst to
- 53:45Speaker 2: the judge just underscores what a spoiled brat he is.
- 53:51Speaker 2: I got plenty of rulings against me in court, but
- 53:56Speaker 2: I did not have an outburst at the judge that
- 53:59Speaker 2: would have only heard my case and me going forward
- 54:03Speaker 2: with other cases representing other victims. But Mangioni thinks it's
- 54:08Speaker 2: okay to scream at a judge sitting on the bench.
- 54:11Speaker 16: It's not.
- 54:13Speaker 1: That said.
- 54:14Speaker 2: I don't know who spoon fed him on a silver
- 54:17Speaker 2: spoon his whole life, but it doesn't work like that
- 54:20Speaker 2: in the justice system. Mangioni, you're not back talking mommy
- 54:24Speaker 2: and daddy. You are speaking to an elected judge on
- 54:28Speaker 2: the bench that's going to oversee your trial, and yelling.
- 54:33Speaker 1: At him or her is not going to help you, brat.
- 54:37Speaker 1: This is what we know about the.
- 54:40Speaker 2: Morning, the early morning when Brian Thompson was shot dead,
- 54:45Speaker 2: a guy Mangioni had never even met. Segment four, Mangioni's
- 54:52Speaker 2: outburst in court only emphasizes that he is a spoiled brat.
- 54:58Speaker 2: Deal with it, Mangioni. This is There's what happens when
- 55:00Speaker 2: you allegedly gunned down an unarmed man in broad day
- 55:04Speaker 2: light on the sidewalk. You get caught and you go
- 55:08Speaker 2: to trial. But what will that jury trial reveal? Joining
- 55:15Speaker 2: me is Tom Smith, former NYPD detective thirty years now,
- 55:22Speaker 2: star of the gold Shields podcast, and he covered the
- 55:27Speaker 2: very same streets where Brian Thompson was gunned down in
- 55:31Speaker 2: cold blood you know, I have had a killer identified.
- 55:37Speaker 2: He was a chef, by the way, identified by a
- 55:40Speaker 2: particular limp that he had. I've had a bank robber
- 55:47Speaker 2: identified because he walked sleugh footed in other words, like
- 55:50Speaker 2: it up. They're all sorts of ways to identify someone.
- 55:55Speaker 2: It can be by voice that it could be any
- 55:59Speaker 2: number of things. In this case, the McDonald's manager said,
- 56:04Speaker 2: bushy eyebrows, and.
- 56:06Speaker 1: There's no doubt that's Luigi Mangioni. They hate it. They
- 56:10Speaker 1: hate that identification, Tom, Yeah, they.
- 56:14Speaker 25: Do, because you know, it shows how important Nancy and
- 56:17Speaker 25: we did this when we first started talking about this case,
- 56:21Speaker 25: how important the videos and all the photos were to
- 56:25Speaker 25: get out to the public, even if his face was covered,
- 56:28Speaker 25: even if he was in a cab or whatever it was,
- 56:31Speaker 25: because those eyebrows jumped off the page to everyone who
- 56:35Speaker 25: looked at it. That was the number one thing that
- 56:37Speaker 25: everyone looked at as a looking point and identification point
- 56:42Speaker 25: when it came to him. And it just showed that
- 56:45Speaker 25: the quicker they got those photos out, the better it was.
- 56:48Speaker 2: In the end of this, you know, I'm very curious
- 56:51Speaker 2: about this, the fact that he is identified at McDonald's
- 56:56Speaker 2: by his eyebrows among other things. Let's say they picked
- 57:00Speaker 2: of the McDonald's. There you go, there he is at McDonald's.
- 57:04Speaker 2: But skyl Azaara, don't you think that the defense should
- 57:07Speaker 2: be more concerned about the fact that he can be
- 57:10Speaker 2: identified At the time of the killing, he showed his
- 57:14Speaker 2: face repeatedly.
- 57:17Speaker 8: I agree with you.
- 57:17Speaker 24: He probably should have been a little bit more careful
- 57:19Speaker 24: at that time, and that should be the stuff they're
- 57:22Speaker 24: seeking to exclude, and maybe they will, I think as
- 57:24Speaker 24: it goes to the nine to one one call. The
- 57:26Speaker 24: defense's probably only argument is that these are witnesses who
- 57:31Speaker 24: identified him, not from the shooting. They weren't there that night,
- 57:35Speaker 24: so they can't say I saw him do the shooting.
- 57:38Speaker 24: They just want to exclude it because he's at the McDonald's.
- 57:41Speaker 24: The problem is they get to the McDonald's and it
- 57:44Speaker 24: turns out to be him.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Speaking of getting to the McDonald's, the defense is arguing
- 57:50Speaker 2: that while he wasn't really under arrest, he was kind
- 57:54Speaker 2: of under arrest because so many police starts showing up
- 57:58Speaker 2: and massing at the McDonald They were concerned. If this
- 58:02Speaker 2: is Luigi Mangioni, the healthcare assassin, he's probably armed.
- 58:05Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he was. He was armed.
- 58:08Speaker 2: There was a weapon in his backpack sitting right there
- 58:11Speaker 2: with him, so they were right.
- 58:14Speaker 1: Now, what the defense is.
- 58:15Speaker 2: Arguing is that having multipolice, multiple police officers show up
- 58:19Speaker 2: is tantamount equal to arresting him. Why do we care
- 58:23Speaker 2: because police engage in a conversation with him to identify him,
- 58:30Speaker 2: and he spilled a lot of information in that conversation.
- 58:33Speaker 1: The state says it was before his arrest. Why does
- 58:37Speaker 1: it matter.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Because a statement taken while you are in custody without
- 58:44Speaker 2: miranda will be suppressed. So they want the judge to
- 58:48Speaker 2: believe that because several police officers showed up at McDonald's,
- 58:52Speaker 2: that me Andngioni was effectively under arrest in any statements
- 58:57Speaker 2: he made pre miranda should be suppressed. That's not going
- 59:02Speaker 2: to happen. When I walk into let's just pretend Chipotely
- 59:06Speaker 2: and all the Atlanta PD are in there getting a salad,
- 59:09Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm under arrest.
- 59:12Speaker 1: Think about it.
- 59:13Speaker 12: Listen, Majoni stares at monitors showing his arrest at McDonald's.
- 59:18Speaker 12: Manjoni sits to eat breakfast at nine oh three. Eleven
- 59:21Speaker 12: minutes later, the nine one one call is made nine
- 59:24Speaker 12: twenty eight, two police officers show up and begin talking
- 59:27Speaker 12: to Mangoni. The restaurant slowly begins to fill with police
- 59:30Speaker 12: until nine forty two, when at least eight officers are
- 59:33Speaker 12: visible on the recording. The defense claims packing the place
- 59:36Speaker 12: with police amounts to unlawful attention prior to Mangoni's arrest.
- 59:40Speaker 12: Agnifilo argues police surrounding Mangoni and the McDonald's this tantamount
- 59:44Speaker 12: to illegally detaining the alleged killer. Agnifilo also takes exception
- 59:48Speaker 12: with the way officers treated Mangoni's backpack during the arrest,
- 59:51Speaker 12: claiming it was warrantlessly searched on the scene.
- 59:55Speaker 1: In other words, they looked in his backpack. Cheryl McCollum
- 59:58Speaker 1: joining me.
- 59:59Speaker 2: She is not only a crime scene investigator and founder
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: of the Cold Case Research Institute, but she's also the
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: star of a hit podcast which I actually put on
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: a loop.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Sometimes, Cheryl McCollum Zone seven. Cheryl McCollum.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Has it ever dawned on you when you go into
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: McDonald's for a cup of coffee that you're arresting somebody,
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: that you're a mere presence equals an arrest, because that's
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: what they're arguing, and what they're trying to do Cheryl
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: is get out from under what Manngioni said to police
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: pre miranda and them finding evidence in his backpack.
- 1:00:38Speaker 15: I think the body cam is going to be so
- 1:00:40Speaker 15: critical here because it's going to show all of his actions.
- 1:00:44Speaker 14: It's going to, you know, show the world that he
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: stood up and thought he.
- 1:00:48Speaker 15: Was under arrest. Only a guilty person would think that, Nancy.
- 1:00:52Speaker 15: What the defense is doing is there basically, look, you
- 1:00:56Speaker 15: use manure to make something grow, right, So they are
- 1:01:00Speaker 15: playton and cultivating and trying to grow this story that
- 1:01:03Speaker 15: he's the victim, that he didn't do anything, that he
- 1:01:06Speaker 15: was under arrest, and now we can't use anything, and
- 1:01:10Speaker 15: it's just be it.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: While this legal warfare is taking place in a courtroom,
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Manzione's attorneys continue to insist that he's the victim.
- 1:01:21Speaker 26: He's a young man, and he is being treated like
- 1:01:24Speaker 26: a human pingpong ball between two warring jurisdictions here, and
- 1:01:29Speaker 26: they are literally treating him like he is like some
- 1:01:35Speaker 26: sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle. He
- 1:01:38Speaker 26: was on display for everyone to see in the biggest
- 1:01:41Speaker 26: staged purp walk I've ever seen in my career. There
- 1:01:44Speaker 26: was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have
- 1:01:47Speaker 26: these big assault rifles that frankly I had no idea
- 1:01:50Speaker 26: it was in their arsenal. And to have all of
- 1:01:52Speaker 26: these these the press there, the media there, it was
- 1:01:56Speaker 26: like perfectly choreographed. And what was the New York City
- 1:01:59Speaker 26: mayor doing at this press conference?
- 1:02:01Speaker 11: He is a walking talking contradiction.
- 1:02:04Speaker 15: He supposedly is against this wealthy ceo is yet he
- 1:02:08Speaker 15: comes for money.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: This is a guy living in a high rise in
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: Honolulu waking up to the beach every morning.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: Did you wake up to a BH this morning?
- 1:02:17Speaker 9: I serta not.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: The Luigi Mangioni defense is fighting tooth and nail to
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: keep out what happened in that McDonald's. And as Cheryl
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: McCombs pointing out, that BODYCM is going to be so
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: significant because it doesn't matter what the state says. It
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the defense says or how much Luigi
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: Mangioni claims he's the victim. What matters is what really
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: happened inside that McDonald's. They're not going to get the
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: nine one one call suppressed. That's not happening. But what
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: happened in the McDonald's. Is the state going to lose
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: valuable evidence on allegal technicality? Why is it they want
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: that backpack suppressed straight out to Investigation at Large for
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: dailymail dot com, kill Lebrandley.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: What was in the backpack? Nancy?
- 1:03:07Speaker 16: There was a three D printed gun. It's a handgun
- 1:03:10Speaker 16: which is believed to could possibly be the murder weapon.
- 1:03:14Speaker 16: There was a notebook with handwritten notes in it. And
- 1:03:16Speaker 16: then he also had a knife on him, which was
- 1:03:19Speaker 16: discovered about twenty minutes later, So he was armed and
- 1:03:22Speaker 16: at that point he was considered very dangerous.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, what did you say was written in
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: Maggione's spiral notebook.
- 1:03:30Speaker 16: That was in his backpack that he wanted any use
- 1:03:33Speaker 16: the word whack the healthcare CEO whack meaning kill herd destroy.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: No wonder they want it's suppressed to Dave mac crime
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Stori's investigative reporter. Tell me about the three D gun
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: sometimes called a ghost gun.
- 1:03:50Speaker 14: But Nancy, you know we've been we have not been
- 1:03:53Speaker 14: given the very specifics of what type of gun. We
- 1:03:57Speaker 14: know it's a pistol, but we don't know big that
- 1:04:00Speaker 14: name of it. Three D printed firearms take a massive
- 1:04:03Speaker 14: amount of time and filament far more than any other.
- 1:04:08Speaker 14: Deliberator is the most common and it's the easiest one
- 1:04:11Speaker 14: to print. It takes the shortest amount of time. Deliberator
- 1:04:14Speaker 14: takes thirty hours of constant printing with non stop printing.
- 1:04:19Speaker 14: Nancy thirty hours to print, the easiest of all the pistols.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Tom Smith, here's the thing with a ghost gun is
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: made on a three D printer, Tom, It's unserialized. That's
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: why they're so popular amongst criminals. You think Grandpa as
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: is long gun is shotgun under the bed. You think
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: it's a three D printed gun. No, it's got a
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: serial number. Why is it so serious that a ghost
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: gun is un serialized.
- 1:04:52Speaker 25: Well, because you can't trace it. No matter what you
- 1:04:55Speaker 25: do with that weapon, it cannot be traced back to you.
- 1:04:58Speaker 25: And that is why so manyminoles and Luigi Maggioni of
- 1:05:02Speaker 25: course went to the lengths that he did to make
- 1:05:06Speaker 25: that gun, because that is the predetermined and premeditation of it. Already,
- 1:05:11Speaker 25: he's already thinking ahead of that gun not being traced
- 1:05:14Speaker 25: to him, and that is part of this as well.
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Tom Smith, You're exactly correct to Joseph Scott Morgan. Let
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: me introduce him formally. He is a professor of forensics
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: at Jacksonville State University with an incredible criminal procedure program.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: He's the author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: He is a death investigator that has handled thousands of
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: death scenes, and he's a star of hit podcast Body
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: Back to Joe Scott Morgan. Joe Scott, what is a
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: suppressor or commonly known as a silencer.
- 1:05:50Speaker 21: Yeah, stay away from the term silencer, because no weapon
- 1:05:54Speaker 21: is silenced. It is suppressed. That means that the crack
- 1:05:58Speaker 21: of the sound you're talking about a perhaps supersonic round,
- 1:06:03Speaker 21: it's traveling, you know, past the speed of sound. So
- 1:06:06Speaker 21: what you want to do is reduce that sound that's
- 1:06:09Speaker 21: put forth from the muzzle. If you take a close look,
- 1:06:12Speaker 21: I'm glad that you have that image. You take a
- 1:06:14Speaker 21: close look at that weapon there. The end of that
- 1:06:17Speaker 21: muzzle is actually threaded. What that means is is that
- 1:06:22Speaker 21: it's adaptable. It's adaptable to contain a suppressor. The suppressor
- 1:06:26Speaker 21: is displayed here. It's that long black cylindrical object there.
- 1:06:30Speaker 21: It can be screwed on on the end. Well, you
- 1:06:33Speaker 21: want to knock down the sound, so it's not going
- 1:06:36Speaker 21: to draw attention to you when you fired this thing,
- 1:06:39Speaker 21: because let's just say that it is a non suppressed weapon.
- 1:06:43Speaker 21: This thing's going to echo through the canyons down there
- 1:06:45Speaker 21: in Manhattan, through all of those buildings. You'll still hear
- 1:06:48Speaker 21: a sound, but it'll be a slight crack. It's not
- 1:06:51Speaker 21: like it's portrayed in movies, okay, but it will reduce
- 1:06:54Speaker 21: the sound, it doesn't completely eliminate it. And the purpose
- 1:06:57Speaker 21: of this is so that you're not going to draw
- 1:06:59Speaker 21: as to any one. It does reduce, say, some of
- 1:07:05Speaker 21: the capabilities of the weapon as far as the effectiveness
- 1:07:09Speaker 21: of it at a greater range. But this is this
- 1:07:12Speaker 21: is not a close range. As a matter of fact,
- 1:07:14Speaker 21: if we were to look at the body here, it
- 1:07:16Speaker 21: would be classified as indeterminate because you're not going to
- 1:07:19Speaker 21: have any kind of sut deposition gun unperned gunpowder. It
- 1:07:24Speaker 21: will have fallen away by that time. But this is
- 1:07:27Speaker 21: not too distant of a shot. You'll still have that
- 1:07:30Speaker 21: same muzzle velocity striking into Brian Thompson's body. It's effectively lethal.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Joining me now, the star of Zone seven podcast, Cheryl McCollum,
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: is with us. Cheryl who has un serialized guns and
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: silencers criminals.
- 1:07:51Speaker 15: And maybe there's another thing. Even though this is a
- 1:07:54Speaker 15: three D printed weapon, it's still going to lead marking
- 1:07:59Speaker 15: on capons and they're going to be able to be
- 1:08:02Speaker 15: determined that this weapon fired the bullets that murdered Brian Thompson.
- 1:08:08Speaker 15: So forensically, it's not going to get you out of trouble.
- 1:08:12Speaker 15: They may not can trace it to a manufacturer, to
- 1:08:15Speaker 15: a bar that they can absolutely determine that that bullet
- 1:08:21Speaker 15: was fired by that weapon.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, you're so right, and Tom Smith, this is
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: like a fish in water for you. Every day you
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: were getting off.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: The streets of Manhattan guns to match with bullets, bullets
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: that were literally dug out of victims' bodies.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: And Cheryl said it right.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: A bullet hurls down the barrel of a gun, that
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: gun may look like all the other guns in the
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: gun store showcase, but it's not because inside the barrel
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: the metal has cooled in a certain way and it
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: leaves ridges and imperfections on the inside of the barrel,
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: and as that bullet shoots down the barrel, it is
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: forever marked by those imperfections. So when you take the
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: murder weapon to the crime lab, and you shoot a
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: bullet through the murder weapon, and you take the known
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: bullet dug out of the victim and you put it
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: under a microscope next to the one you just shot.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: It's like a fingerprint.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: No other gun, be it.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: A three D printed gun, a grandma's Bessie's out from
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: under her her mattress, you can track and identify like
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: a fingerprint that bullet came from that gun.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: Isn't that true?
- 1:09:51Speaker 25: And that's the best way to say it. It's it's
- 1:09:53Speaker 25: the gun's fingerprint and the ballistic check of that in
- 1:09:56Speaker 25: the twist marks and all of that is what you
- 1:09:59Speaker 25: match up. And it is a fingerprint that is unmatchable,
- 1:10:03Speaker 25: you know, to anyone else. It is strictly to that
- 1:10:06Speaker 25: weapon that you will match up the weapon, take the
- 1:10:10Speaker 25: round taken out of the victim and match it up.
- 1:10:13Speaker 25: And that is damaging when it comes to court.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and Tom Smith, that is why they are
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: fighting to the death in court to keep that jury
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: from every knowing of a ballistics match that his three
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: day pritty gun is the murder weapon. Listen to Alvin Bragg,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: the Manhattan District attorney for.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: Nearly an hour.
- 1:10:38Speaker 27: We alleged to the definite waited in the area near
- 1:10:41Speaker 27: the Hilton Hotel waiting for mister Thompson to appear. From
- 1:10:46Speaker 27: six thirty eight am to six forty four am. The
- 1:10:49Speaker 27: defendant stood across from the entrance of the hotel on
- 1:10:51Speaker 27: West fifty fourth Street. When he saw mister Thompson, he
- 1:10:54Speaker 27: crossed the street and approached him from behind.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: Caleb Brantley, Daily Mail.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: The defense for Luigi Mangioni is also trying to suppress
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: statements he allegedly made.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: To his guards.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: He had special guards behind bars, so nothing would happen
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: to him like it did to Epstein. So let's first
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: talk about Thomas Rivers, the former British infantryman who was
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: minding Mangioni. What did Mangioni allegedly say to Rivers.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: Nancy.
- 1:11:27Speaker 16: Luigi was held for ten days in Pennsylvania, and he
- 1:11:31Speaker 16: had spoken about being very disappointed that he was being
- 1:11:35Speaker 16: compared to the unibomber. He also said that mainstream media
- 1:11:40Speaker 16: was more focused on crime, and that when you looked
- 1:11:43Speaker 16: at social media, they were really more focused about the
- 1:11:46Speaker 16: healthcare industry, which, according to this officer, is what Luigi
- 1:11:50Speaker 16: said this was really about Wow.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: Sounds like a confession to me, sky Lazarro, Oopsie.
- 1:11:55Speaker 24: Nancy A agree and disagree. Here's the problem. They put
- 1:11:59Speaker 24: these guys in a situation like that, in solitary where
- 1:12:02Speaker 24: they can't talk to anybody else. And the other thing
- 1:12:05Speaker 24: is that we know these officers didn't document any of this.
- 1:12:09Speaker 24: They're supposed to be taking notes seven times an hour
- 1:12:12Speaker 24: about what he's doing and his well being, and they
- 1:12:15Speaker 24: don't write down anything.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Like he just made an admission, sky Lazara, did you
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: say it's a problem he's being held in solitary.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: You know who else is in solitary, Brian Thompson, except
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: his is a casket.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: So you're telling me again, I can't believe you're buying
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: into this, sky Lazarro, that he's the one that's being tormented.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: You know what else he told Rivers that Rivers should
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: really read Doors a perception by all this Huxley, which
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: is all about psychedelic drug trips and mystical interpretations. Needless
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: to say, Rivers did not read the book. But there
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: is another guard that he talked to. This is the
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: one I'm really interested in.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Listen.
- 1:13:04Speaker 12: Officer Matt Henry wasn't chatty with the alleged killer. That
- 1:13:07Speaker 12: doesn't stop man Joni from telling Henry he was caught
- 1:13:10Speaker 12: with a three D printed firearm, the weapon used to
- 1:13:12Speaker 12: murder Ceo Brian Thompson. Attorney Mark Agniffilo challenges Henry, saying,
- 1:13:17Speaker 12: so he just blurted out to you that he had
- 1:13:19Speaker 12: a three D printed pistol. Henry drily replies yes, to.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: Doctor Angela Arnold joining us she's a renowned psychiatrist out
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: of the Atlanta jurisdiction at angela arnold dot com Foreign
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Professor Psychiatry. It goes on and on, former medical director
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: at the psychiatric Obgy Inklin at Grady, which never has
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: a lack of business. I found a lot of witnesses
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: and victims at Grady Hospital, Doctor angel Arnold, Why.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: Is this so hard? I bet a jury's not going
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: to have a hard time believing this.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: That Luigi Mangioni, who has had a lifetime of entitlement,
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: would blab to his guards.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: Why they're his new friends. They would never betray him, right.
- 1:14:05Speaker 20: Yeah, oh sure? And you know, Nancy, he probably suffers
- 1:14:10Speaker 20: from some sort of personality disorder in which he thinks
- 1:14:14Speaker 20: about himself an awful lot, So he really doesn't. He
- 1:14:17Speaker 20: may not see that he's done anything wrong, and he
- 1:14:21Speaker 20: probably hasn't suffered any consequences for any of his actions
- 1:14:25Speaker 20: in the past, and so that would make him more
- 1:14:28Speaker 20: likely to almost be bragging about what he's done and
- 1:14:31Speaker 20: to let other people know what he's done. This is
- 1:14:35Speaker 20: typical for his behavior in all likelihood throughout his existence.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: Tom Smith joining me Former NYPD detective thirty years now
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: star co host of gold Shields podcast, Tom, What.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: Is wrong with rich people?
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: Do they think they can just get away with everything,
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: anything and everything they can confess They can say, yeah,
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: they caught me with.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: A three D print and gun which is the murder weapon.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: What is wrong with them?
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: Have you noticed the same sense of entitlement sometimes does
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: them in because they think they can buy off everybody.
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: That everybody wants to be their friend, but these two
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: guards do not want to be his friend.
- 1:15:23Speaker 25: Yeah, they've lived their whole life like this, Nancy. You know,
- 1:15:27Speaker 25: they've gotten what they wanted. They'd either pay for it
- 1:15:30Speaker 25: or the power that they have has influenced someone's decision
- 1:15:33Speaker 25: into what they're getting or what they're doing, And they
- 1:15:36Speaker 25: just think that holds true for every aspect of their life,
- 1:15:40Speaker 25: including killing someone. I mean, that's how deranged they are
- 1:15:44Speaker 25: when it comes to the entitlement that they believe they
- 1:15:47Speaker 25: are are owed when it comes to murder or you know,
- 1:15:51Speaker 25: killing a bride. We did that show. You know, It's
- 1:15:54Speaker 25: just constant and it just keeps coming up, and it's
- 1:15:57Speaker 25: absolutely disgusting.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Tom.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: I want you to look at a picture if I
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: can get the control and to put it up for me,
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: dig through those files. I want to see the picture
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: of allegedly Mangiani, who's presumed innocent, holding up the three
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: D with the silencer on it, pointing directly.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: At Brian Thompson's back. According to police, he.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: Waited an hour for just the right moment. There's his
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: backpack which was recovered at the McDonald's. There's his outfit
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: which he had with him. There's the three D weapon,
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: and let's look at Brian Thompson walking along early morning
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: going to a work conference. He shot in the back
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: right there. And I'm not going to play that when
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: he actually gets shot, because someday, somehow his boys might
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: look this up online and I don't want this to
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: be stuck in their memory Calla Brantley. Were any of
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: man Gie Only's family members in court? And were any
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: of the victims' family members in court this week?
- 1:17:15Speaker 16: Not that we know of, Nancy, but a lot of
- 1:17:17Speaker 16: Luigi's supporters And one thing, have you heard of pretty privilege?
- 1:17:22Speaker 16: Because it absolutely feels like Luigi is benefiting from that
- 1:17:26Speaker 16: by having hordes of fans, because he is a handsome man,
- 1:17:31Speaker 16: that he is benefiting from pretty privilege. And I'm sure
- 1:17:34Speaker 16: his defense team is happy that they have a relatively
- 1:17:38Speaker 16: attractive man as a client.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: Kiala, I don't find him attractive.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Every time I look at him, I see a tail
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: swishing in the back and two horns right here.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: That's what I see. We wait as Justice of folds.
