Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: It's just overwhelming. A little boy sees a road rage
- 0:10Speaker 1: killer opened fire, shooting his mommy and his siblings. I
- 0:15Speaker 1: find it really hard to believe that a mother, Megan Bigelow,
- 0:20Speaker 1: forty one years old, with our aldred children in the car,
- 0:26Speaker 1: is going to be weaving in and out in traffic
- 0:30Speaker 1: having a road rage confrontation. What happened? What happened in
- 0:35Speaker 1: the parking lot of the local dentist Crime Stories with
- 0:46Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. When I came out the back door to
- 0:53Speaker 1: see what was going on, I witnessed the gentleman that
- 0:57Speaker 1: had been shot multiple times up against the build right here.
- 1:00Speaker 1: He's very concerned about his daughter's whereabouts. He had been
- 1:03Speaker 1: shot multiple times. He did say there was a lady
- 1:07Speaker 1: just right in front of this building here that had
- 1:09Speaker 1: been shot in the head, and it looked like that
- 1:11Speaker 1: she was probably faced down on the concrete. He was
- 1:13Speaker 1: trying to tell the police to go check her. Hey
- 1:16Speaker 1: called him as a commare, and he said, I want
- 1:18Speaker 1: to go over there. My mom just got shot. Oh
- 1:21Speaker 1: my stars. A little boy witness says a road rage
- 1:26Speaker 1: killer opens fire on the boy's family, killing his thirteen
- 1:32Speaker 1: year old brother, shooting his mom and sibling, Good Gravy.

- 2:15Speaker 1: joining me from the Florida jurisdiction forensics expert, founder of
- 2:19Speaker 1: Bear Bones Consulting. But right now, to Dave Matt Crime
- 2:23Speaker 1: online dot com investigative reporter. Road rage ends in a
- 2:29Speaker 1: shooting death. Tell me what happened, Nancy. A headline here
- 2:34Speaker 1: actually explains what happened. You've got a mom and her
- 2:38Speaker 1: three boys going to an afternoon dental appointment. You've got
- 2:43Speaker 1: traffic on the road, and missus Bigelow is trying to
- 2:49Speaker 1: move to her right to get out of the way
- 2:52Speaker 1: for an emergency vehicle that's trying to pass. She apparently
- 2:57Speaker 1: cuts off Jeremy Webbs her a twenty three year old man,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and he then follows her, terrorizing the family as they
- 3:09Speaker 1: go down the road, enough that witnesses saw them going
- 3:14Speaker 1: back and forth on the road. Missus bigelow, Okay, wait
- 3:17Speaker 1: a minute, Wait a minute, who wa wa Wait. What
- 3:19Speaker 1: I'm saying is I think she was being defensive in
- 3:22Speaker 1: trying to avoid this twenty three year old that is
- 3:26Speaker 1: terrorizing her going down the road. She was getting out
- 3:30Speaker 1: of the way of an emergency vehicle when apparently, you know,
- 3:34Speaker 1: she did maybe cut this guy off, but she wasn't
- 3:38Speaker 1: the aggressor here. She's got her three boys in the car.
- 3:41Speaker 1: They're thirteen, twelve, and seven. They're headed to a dentist appointment.
- 3:45Speaker 1: This guy getting behind her is the aggressor and is
- 3:49Speaker 1: doing enough jockeying down the road. Lord in heaven, you know,
- 3:55Speaker 1: as she will caught my husband for Pete's sake, And
- 3:59Speaker 1: I can't say I haven't ever done it myself, But
- 4:02Speaker 1: when people cut him off or they won't go at
- 4:06Speaker 1: a red light, he will sit on the horn and
- 4:10Speaker 1: he's you know, you know, I love David, but he's
- 4:13Speaker 1: a big lug and I'm always afraid he'll get out
- 4:15Speaker 1: of the car and just like kick their car or
- 4:18Speaker 1: something like, David, look around you. You don't know these people.
- 4:23Speaker 1: A good forty percent of them are on parole or probation.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Trust me on that. You don't know who's got a
- 4:29Speaker 1: gun in their car? Just suck it up. That means
- 4:33Speaker 1: he can't yell at people, or he can't make faces
- 4:37Speaker 1: at them, gesticulate them till gave them sit on the horn.
- 4:42Speaker 1: It means I cannot shoot a bird at anybody that
- 4:45Speaker 1: cuts me off. It just you can't do that, not anymore.
- 4:51Speaker 1: It just and I find it really hard. I mean,
- 4:53Speaker 1: have you ever sat in a red light and just
- 4:55Speaker 1: peeked around and thought, Wow, is that a convicted fella?
- 4:58Speaker 1: Do they have a gun in the car? Only because
- 5:01Speaker 1: of what we do for a living, right I do now?
- 5:03Speaker 1: So I have to say my sixteen year old that,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, he is now driving, and that's one of
- 5:08Speaker 1: the things I've had to teach him, not only the
- 5:11Speaker 1: extreme flipping someone off, but I tell him be careful,
- 5:15Speaker 1: don't look next to you and let your facial expression
- 5:19Speaker 1: indicate that you're annoyed or angry. Because it can take
- 5:23Speaker 1: almost nothing to trigger people, and a lot of people
- 5:27Speaker 1: nationwide owned guns, keep guns in their car. It is
- 5:31Speaker 1: not worth the risk because, regrettably, someone who is going
- 5:36Speaker 1: to commit road rage does not care if your children
- 5:39Speaker 1: are in the car or not. No, they don't care.
- 5:43Speaker 1: We are talking about a twenty three year old guy,
- 5:47Speaker 1: Jeremy Webster, who apparently pulls his gun and start shooting
- 5:55Speaker 1: in the suburbs. Steve Lampley. Where we left off with
- 5:58Speaker 1: Dave Matt was the mom was going in and out
- 6:02Speaker 1: of traffic trying to get away from this guy. Yeah,
- 6:05Speaker 1: there's I mean the mother, a mother and three sons.
- 6:08Speaker 1: There children in the car. She doesn't want to stop
- 6:12Speaker 1: and then give this person an opportunity to do something
- 6:15Speaker 1: to her family, So she to do it, in my opinion,
- 6:18Speaker 1: the best way she could do to try to get
- 6:20Speaker 1: away from him. Back to Dave Matt, Dave does how
- 6:25Speaker 1: long does Jeremy Webster follow the mom, Megan Biggielow and
- 6:30Speaker 1: her children Nancy. This actually went about two and a
- 6:33Speaker 1: half to three miles from on the road while they
- 6:36Speaker 1: were headed to this dental appointment. Now, missus Bigelow, actually
- 6:40Speaker 1: she kept her head about her. Okay, she actually continued
- 6:44Speaker 1: on the road. She didn't stop and confront the guy.
- 6:47Speaker 1: She continued on her path to get to this dental
- 6:50Speaker 1: office parking lot where there were plenty of witnesses, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: so as they pulled in, if you can imagine, Jeremy
- 6:57Speaker 1: Webster was right on her tail, following her her into
- 7:00Speaker 1: the parking lot. Megan Bigelow heroically was able to put
- 7:05Speaker 1: her car in a position in that parking in that
- 7:08Speaker 1: parking lot where she was able to take a picture
- 7:12Speaker 1: of the man's license plate. Okay, wait a minute, to
- 7:15Speaker 1: do that, that would require her getting out and getting
- 7:19Speaker 1: a picture from either the front or the back of
- 7:21Speaker 1: the car. I bet that infuriated him, Dave Mack, it did,
- 7:26Speaker 1: because it's actually from that moment it led to an argument. Now,
- 7:30Speaker 1: missus Bigelow has three young sons with her, thirteen, twelve,
- 7:34Speaker 1: and seven. Okay, now she's mama bear. She's protecting her boys.
- 7:39Speaker 1: She actually confronts Jeremy Webster there in the parking lot,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and now, as you said, probably did get infuriated when
- 7:46Speaker 1: she took a picture of his license plate. That's when
- 7:49Speaker 1: he started arguing with her. Now, she had the presence
- 7:53Speaker 1: of mind to take the picture of the license plate.
- 7:56Speaker 1: But what happened next, right, I'm just learning something. I'm
- 8:00Speaker 1: learning that the little boy, the twelve year old boy,
- 8:05Speaker 1: that's the age of my children. John Data Lucy tells police,
- 8:09Speaker 1: Mommy took a photo of the driver's plate. She's talking
- 8:12Speaker 1: about the car tag on her phone before they got
- 8:17Speaker 1: out of the car. And that means she's not out
- 8:21Speaker 1: walking around Jeremy Webster's car taking pictures of it. She
- 8:26Speaker 1: did that before she got out of the car. Let
- 8:29Speaker 1: me understand something. This is in a dentist office parking lot.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Is that correct, the Comfort Dental parking lot. Yes, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: there were several other businesses in this little shopping strip
- 8:46Speaker 1: mall where the dental office was. But here's the part
- 8:49Speaker 1: and what happened Nancy. When missus Bigelow pulls her vehicle
- 8:53Speaker 1: into that parking lot, Jeremy Webster pulled directly behind her
- 8:57Speaker 1: and stopped in the middle of the parking lot, blocking
- 9:01Speaker 1: her in where she can't go anywhere else. Crime Stories
- 9:17Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. I had just dropped her off and
- 9:25Speaker 1: we just lived right down the street on seventy ninth.
- 9:28Speaker 1: There was a gentleman that was there. He had a
- 9:30Speaker 1: gunshot wound to his arm. Gentleman was holding it making
- 9:35Speaker 1: sure he wasn't bleeding out, he had a gunshot wound
- 9:38Speaker 1: to his chest. As a parent, he couldn't you know,
- 9:41Speaker 1: imagine what your mind goes through in today's role. You
- 9:44Speaker 1: never know where it's going to happen. Whenever somebody loses
- 9:48Speaker 1: a trigger anymore, you are hearing a witness at the
- 9:53Speaker 1: road rage shooting. That was James Cisneros. What happened? What
- 10:00Speaker 1: happened in the parking lot of the local dentist. I
- 10:04Speaker 1: just took the twins to the orthodonist and I'll let
- 10:08Speaker 1: them go in first. Then I part and followed. It's
- 10:13Speaker 1: unbelievable that now four people have been shot and a
- 10:18Speaker 1: little boy is dead. Joining me Ashley Willcott, Steve Lampley,
- 10:25Speaker 1: Doctor Debbie Joffey Ellis, Karen Smith, and Dave Mack too.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Doctor Debbie Joffey Ellis, Psychologist, adjunct Professor, Columbia University, Doctor
- 10:35Speaker 1: Debbie What exactly is road rage? Psychologically speaking? Psychologically, you
- 10:41Speaker 1: could almost say it's an altered state of consciousness. The
- 10:45Speaker 1: part of the person's brain who's experiencing the rage, it's
- 10:50Speaker 1: very primal, and the person's ability at that time to
- 10:54Speaker 1: reason or to restrain themselves is non active. And so
- 11:01Speaker 1: there's a wild beast here, and one of the best
- 11:05Speaker 1: things that a person can do who might be around
- 11:08Speaker 1: them is to make the best choice they can. And
- 11:12Speaker 1: by the way, at that time, they might be in
- 11:14Speaker 1: a somewhat altered state of panic and fear. Nonetheless, the
- 11:18Speaker 1: goal not to provoke, not to provoke. The rage does
- 11:23Speaker 1: not come from the car incident. It's a result of
- 11:28Speaker 1: pent up stuff, and we don't know from how many
- 11:32Speaker 1: years back. And it's also a result possibly if it's
- 11:37Speaker 1: a young person carrying out these acts of a brain
- 11:41Speaker 1: that's not fully developed, where that part of the brain
- 11:44Speaker 1: that has the ability to think things through and to
- 11:48Speaker 1: restrain themselves from taking unhealthy actions isn't fully formed. So
- 11:54Speaker 1: I'm not trying to justify in any way a person's
- 12:01Speaker 1: actions if their brain isn't fully formed. I'm just trying
- 12:04Speaker 1: to give you some facts. Probably in addition to all
- 12:09Speaker 1: of the above is an attitude and a way of
- 12:13Speaker 1: thinking that fuels the fire, thinking that no one should
- 12:17Speaker 1: have power over me, or I can't stand it when
- 12:21Speaker 1: people drive in front of me. These demanding out of perspective,
- 12:26Speaker 1: irrational demands fuel any neurological component and any pent up
- 12:33Speaker 1: stuff that is blooding through too. Karen Smith, forensics expert
- 12:39Speaker 1: joining me out of Florida, the founder of Bare Bones Consulting. Karen,
- 12:43Speaker 1: how do you go about proving exactly what happened? The forensics?
- 12:48Speaker 1: And here's what they've got this Jeremy person's used egglock.
- 12:55Speaker 1: A block is a semi automatic handgun. It automatically ejects
- 13:00Speaker 1: casings every time the trigger is pulled, so you know
- 13:04Speaker 1: you're looking at somebody who not only made the decision
- 13:06Speaker 1: to get a gun, then they pointed it and they
- 13:10Speaker 1: pulled the trigger. That is three separate incidents that he
- 13:13Speaker 1: chose to do, and he fired the gun repeatedly at
- 13:18Speaker 1: numerous people. So the placings of the casings somewhat tell
- 13:23Speaker 1: you the pattern that he walked or moved while he
- 13:26Speaker 1: was firing it. The casings that are left behind at
- 13:29Speaker 1: the scene can be linked to the handgun that he
- 13:32Speaker 1: used if they found that in his car or on
- 13:35Speaker 1: his person. And they can also tell from the gunshot
- 13:38Speaker 1: wounds and the positions of the people left behind to
- 13:41Speaker 1: die where they were, what position they were in, how
- 13:46Speaker 1: close the gun was or how far away it was.
- 13:50Speaker 1: So the forensics are going to tell a story. It
- 13:53Speaker 1: may not be the exact story, but with the witness
- 13:55Speaker 1: statements and everything left behind it that crime scene, there's
- 13:59Speaker 1: going to be a really good chance that everything will
- 14:02Speaker 1: come to bearing court. How does a mom and two
- 14:05Speaker 1: or three boys and an innocent bystander get shot simply
- 14:10Speaker 1: going to the dentist. Take a listen to this. Meghan
- 14:14Speaker 1: Bigelow told detectives several months after that shooting, when she
- 14:18Speaker 1: was finally interviewed by them, that she was trying to
- 14:21Speaker 1: get over into the right lane because there was emergency
- 14:23Speaker 1: vehicle coming up right behind her. She was trying to
- 14:26Speaker 1: get over. That's when she allegedly cut off Jeremy Webster.
- 14:29Speaker 1: The two exchanged words through their driver's side windows, and
- 14:33Speaker 1: then he followed her to a parking lot. The two
- 14:36Speaker 1: got out of the car, argued some more, and that's
- 14:38Speaker 1: when he allegedly opened fire. I'm sorry. The Bigelow family
- 14:43Speaker 1: was sitting in the courtroom as all of this was
- 14:46Speaker 1: being described. Four months after a deadly road rage incident
- 14:49Speaker 1: in Westminster. A judge is now trying to determine whether
- 14:52Speaker 1: there's enough evidence for the case to move to trial.
- 14:55Speaker 1: On one side of the courtroom, a grieving von Bigelow, Senor,
- 14:59Speaker 1: his wife Megan, and their sons, Von Junior and Asa,
- 15:01Speaker 1: were shot that fateful day, along with one other man.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Thirteen year old Von Junior did not survive. On the
- 15:08Speaker 1: other side of the courtroom, Jeremy Webster, the man police
- 15:11Speaker 1: say pulled the trigger. Responding officers and Westminster detectives described
- 15:15Speaker 1: what unfolded that day. One of the first officers on
- 15:18Speaker 1: the scene explained the chaos of June fourteenth, going into
- 15:21Speaker 1: graphic detail about the injuries suffered by each of the
- 15:24Speaker 1: four victims. You're hearing our friends at ABC din verse seven.
- 15:28Speaker 1: That was making Lopez listen to this. Von Signor silently
- 15:31Speaker 1: sobbd as officers described seven year old ASA's injuries. The
- 15:35Speaker 1: officer thought Asa was dead when he first approached him,
- 15:38Speaker 1: curled up in a fetal position, not far from his
- 15:41Speaker 1: mother and brother. Von Signor broke down once more when
- 15:44Speaker 1: a witness statement described the death of his older son.
- 15:47Speaker 1: The witness calling Von Junior's death a quote execution, saying
- 15:51Speaker 1: Webster stood over the boy as he was kneeling on
- 15:53Speaker 1: the ground and shot him. We also learned about what
- 15:56Speaker 1: happened immediately after that shooting. According to police, Jeremy webs
- 16:00Speaker 1: Or got back in his car, drove to home depot
- 16:02Speaker 1: to buy a song, and went back to remodeling a
- 16:04Speaker 1: house before driving home. He was caught several hours later
- 16:08Speaker 1: in Castlerock. Meanwhile, the defense brought up Webster's mental history,
- 16:12Speaker 1: saying he's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and this afternoon
- 16:16Speaker 1: all of us were kicked out of the courtroom. Today
- 16:19Speaker 1: it was sealed as a judge went ahead and watched
- 16:21Speaker 1: the entire interrogation video for Jeremy Webster. It's more than
- 16:25Speaker 1: three hours long, and in it, Jeremy Webster allegedly confesses
- 16:29Speaker 1: to that shooting. Now, I just found out a couple
- 16:32Speaker 1: of minutes ago that this court has gone into recess.
- 16:36Speaker 1: The judge is going to finish watching that video, and
- 16:38Speaker 1: that's when we could find out whether or not there's
- 16:41Speaker 1: enough evidence for this to actually move to trial. Good grief.
- 16:45Speaker 1: If they've got a confession and eyewitnesses. I don't know
- 16:48Speaker 1: what more they would need to take this case to trial.
- 16:52Speaker 1: As she willcot. I'm just imagining the mom. She's trying
- 16:57Speaker 1: to usher the boys toward the aist to get inside,
- 17:01Speaker 1: to get them safe, when this guy comes out and
- 17:05Speaker 1: starts shooting. She did have words with Jeremy Webster. I
- 17:11Speaker 1: don't think it even took her saying anything to him
- 17:14Speaker 1: to push him over the edge. I think he was
- 17:18Speaker 1: a loaded gun, a fire waiting to explode. What do
- 17:24Speaker 1: you make of it? I would agree with you, and
- 17:26Speaker 1: I think here's the problem. Anytime you have someone who's
- 17:29Speaker 1: out volatile, it really doesn't matter at that point, in
- 17:32Speaker 1: my opinion, what you say or do. They are going
- 17:38Speaker 1: to do what they are going to do. They've already
- 17:42Speaker 1: engaged in their rage, which is going to cause them
- 17:46Speaker 1: to do something like shoot like he did in this case.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Having said that, I'm still going to say this, it
- 17:52Speaker 1: is not her fault. It is not her fault. I
- 17:54Speaker 1: do not believe she could have prevented this. But it
- 17:57Speaker 1: is important for people to keep in mind again, do
- 18:00Speaker 1: everything you can not to engage because people are crazy
- 18:03Speaker 1: out there. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. The alleged gunman
- 18:34Speaker 1: told detectives that he feels like someone's always out to
- 18:37Speaker 1: get him and that is why he was carrying guns
- 18:38Speaker 1: a day of the shooting. Yeah, and the suspect said
- 18:41Speaker 1: that in a three hour interrogation after his arrest. A
- 18:44Speaker 1: judge here in Adams County watched that interrogation video in
- 18:48Speaker 1: private today. In it, Jeremy Webster tells detectives the shooting
- 18:52Speaker 1: felt like a dream, and he said he felt like
- 18:55Speaker 1: he was watching someone else attack the Bigelow family. In
- 18:59Speaker 1: the shooting, thirteen year old Vaughan Junior was shot and killed.
- 19:04Speaker 1: His mom and youngest brother were also shot. The mother,
- 19:07Speaker 1: Megan Bigelow, says she swerved trying to avoid an emergency vehicle,
- 19:12Speaker 1: accidentally cutting off the suspect in traffic. Then, according to witnesses,
- 19:16Speaker 1: the suspect followed her into the parking lot of a
- 19:19Speaker 1: dentist's office, and after a brief argument, he opened fire
- 19:23Speaker 1: on the family and another bystander. Witnesses say Jeremy Webster
- 19:28Speaker 1: saw the thirteen year old kneeling and walked over and
- 19:31Speaker 1: shot him again in quote execution style. Today, the defense
- 19:35Speaker 1: tried to argue that Webster was impaired mentally at the
- 19:39Speaker 1: time of the shooting and was perhaps not fit to
- 19:42Speaker 1: stand trial. The judge disagreed and set the arraiement date
- 19:46Speaker 1: for the week after Thanksgiving. Well, that means this is
- 19:49Speaker 1: going to trial. You were hearing our friends at Denver seven.
- 19:52Speaker 1: That was Lance Fernandez. An arraignment is when you are
- 19:57Speaker 1: formally read the charges against you and advised of many
- 20:03Speaker 1: of your rights under the Constitution. That's what an arrayment is.
- 20:06Speaker 1: When the actual charge is brought by a preliminary hearing
- 20:11Speaker 1: judge or a grand jury, is read out loud in
- 20:15Speaker 1: court and you are thereby formally on notice of what
- 20:19Speaker 1: the charges are. We see the defense already lining up
- 20:22Speaker 1: that he was by Paula didn't know what he was doing.
- 20:26Speaker 1: If he didn't know what he was doing, Dave Mack,
- 20:29Speaker 1: how can you explain and tell me if I'm right
- 20:31Speaker 1: or wrong? That? After he shoots the little boy dead
- 20:35Speaker 1: and shoots the other witnesses, the mother, the brother, and
- 20:39Speaker 1: an innocent guy standing in the parking lot trying to
- 20:41Speaker 1: take his daughter to the dentist, he goes to home depot,
- 20:44Speaker 1: webs out cash or a credit card, buys a saw,
- 20:47Speaker 1: and heads to work. He goes to work like any
- 20:49Speaker 1: other day. So how could he be insane and not
- 20:53Speaker 1: know right from wrong? Interesting that from the very beginning
- 20:57Speaker 1: of this interaction between mister Webster and the police, he
- 21:02Speaker 1: was playing the mentally deficient card. Or however you want
- 21:05Speaker 1: to refer to it, saying that he had just changed
- 21:08Speaker 1: medication that day. I wondered the same thing. This is
- 21:12Speaker 1: a guy that seemed to be perfectly prepared to shoot
- 21:15Speaker 1: somebody willy nilly and then go on about his daily life.
- 21:20Speaker 1: It makes absolutely no sense at all what Jeremy Webster
- 21:26Speaker 1: is claiming as what was going on in his mind
- 21:30Speaker 1: before this took place. You know, I learned a long
- 21:33Speaker 1: time ago, and it took years for it to sink
- 21:35Speaker 1: in after my fiancee was murdered just before a wedding,
- 21:40Speaker 1: that you start your day like every other day, everything
- 21:43Speaker 1: seems perfectly fine. I remember walking out of a statistics
- 21:48Speaker 1: exam on my way to work at the library and
- 21:50Speaker 1: thinking about how bright and sunny and beautiful the day
- 21:53Speaker 1: was so glad to get the test behind me. And
- 21:57Speaker 1: that's when I found out that out of the blue,
- 22:00Speaker 1: they've been murdered. Who would think on your way to
- 22:04Speaker 1: the dentist office, your thirteen year old son is going
- 22:10Speaker 1: to be murdered execution style, and the parking area at
- 22:15Speaker 1: the dentist office to dodger. Debbie Joffe ellis joining US psychologist.
- 22:22Speaker 1: He is claiming it all felt like a dream, but
- 22:26Speaker 1: then he went to home depot and made a purchase
- 22:29Speaker 1: and went straight to work. Yeah, you know, people, whether
- 22:33Speaker 1: they have bipolar condition or not. And by the way,
- 22:36Speaker 1: I feel compelled to say, let's not give a stigmatized
- 22:44Speaker 1: account of the bipolar condition. There are countless people suffering
- 22:48Speaker 1: from bipolar disorder that don't go out and murder people.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So putting that diagnosis aside, it sounds like he was
- 22:59Speaker 1: very much to paranoid. A few minutes ago, one of
- 23:03Speaker 1: the reporters that you were presenting the words of said
- 23:08Speaker 1: that he felt people were out to get him. And
- 23:10Speaker 1: then earlier when you had disclosed that when the mother
- 23:14Speaker 1: took the photo, that seemed to really set him off.
- 23:17Speaker 1: So you know, people without bipolar can be paranoid as well,
- 23:22Speaker 1: and they can disassociate. So you know, all of us,
- 23:25Speaker 1: whether we have mental issues or not, are able to compartmentalize.
- 23:30Speaker 1: So he may have been literally blinded by rage to
- 23:35Speaker 1: do the acts. Again, I'm not necessarily blaming his bipolar
- 23:39Speaker 1: condition at all. And then somehow dissociates and goes to
- 23:43Speaker 1: home depot a deeply troubled soul. I don't believe anyone
- 23:49Speaker 1: is commenting on the condition of bipolar. Many of us
- 23:52Speaker 1: have very close relatives with bipolar and pipolar disorder and
- 23:58Speaker 1: function absolutely normally society. It's something you can deal with
- 24:02Speaker 1: and that typically not always, but typically can be control
- 24:06Speaker 1: with medication. I don't even know if this guy has
- 24:09Speaker 1: by choler. That's just what he said and what as
- 24:11Speaker 1: lawyer said, I don't know if that's true or not.
- 24:13Speaker 1: But what I do know, which is the point I
- 24:16Speaker 1: was making, is that he isn't by far from insane.
- 24:20Speaker 1: In fact, he leaves a scene of a mass shooting
- 24:24Speaker 1: where he kills a thirteen year old boy execution style,
- 24:27Speaker 1: goes to home depot, makes a purchase, gets in his
- 24:31Speaker 1: vehicle as Toyota Corolla, and heads to his job site
- 24:35Speaker 1: at a construction site and works all day. So clearly
- 24:39Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing. There's a difference, I believe, Nancy,
- 24:43Speaker 1: between knowing what you're doing and choosing to act in
- 24:47Speaker 1: evil ways. Well, yes, that's what the law is. The
- 24:50Speaker 1: law is that insanity under the old McNaughton rule, which
- 24:55Speaker 1: was in our common is in our common law that
- 24:57Speaker 1: we brought over from Great Britain, is that if you
- 25:01Speaker 1: knew right from wrong at the time of the incident.
- 25:04Speaker 1: You are not legally insane. I want to go back
- 25:08Speaker 1: to him going to home Depot, Dave Mac. You know,
- 25:11Speaker 1: Dave Mack. I always say that Nasaka takes some tips
- 25:15Speaker 1: from home Depot, Lows and Target because they have the
- 25:20Speaker 1: most awesome video surveillance. I'm sure he's captured on video
- 25:25Speaker 1: surveillance making that purchase. I'm assuming that he has. I
- 25:28Speaker 1: haven't seen anything indicating that. Well, we know he purchased
- 25:30Speaker 1: a saw, So I'm going to go out there and
- 25:32Speaker 1: say they got him pictured, you know, in that home
- 25:34Speaker 1: depot buying the saw. You know the fact that he
- 25:37Speaker 1: just goes to work as if nothing is wrong, Stephen Lampley.
- 25:41Speaker 1: I assume there's going to be video from the dentist's
- 25:43Speaker 1: office parking lot as well as home depot, and there
- 25:48Speaker 1: will be witnesses at his workplace where he went that
- 25:52Speaker 1: will describe him working that day perfectly normally. Well, that's
- 25:55Speaker 1: the way it seems, Nancy. And what bothers me about this?
- 25:59Speaker 1: And again I was not there. I was not there
- 26:01Speaker 1: when he confessed and waved his miranda. But what stuck,
- 26:06Speaker 1: what's sticking out to me is that it seems like,
- 26:09Speaker 1: in my opinion, that he was just going out there
- 26:14Speaker 1: that hey, my meds were changed, and it it gives
- 26:18Speaker 1: me the impression that maybe he used that as an
- 26:23Speaker 1: excuse to do these crimes. I don't know, but that
- 26:26Speaker 1: stands out to me. But yeah, going doing Danny, going
- 26:29Speaker 1: about your daily routine. That's very troubling crime stories with
- 26:46Speaker 1: Nancy Gracedies. You know, Um, nobody deserves that children, nobody
- 26:54Speaker 1: deserves that. Our society has become so outre. You know
- 27:01Speaker 1: that you just don't know who you're living by, who
- 27:04Speaker 1: you're talking to. You've got to know, is sad that
- 27:08Speaker 1: nobody could see what was going on in his head?
- 27:12Speaker 1: Or maybe he doesn't have anybody, maybe somebody you know,
- 27:17Speaker 1: you didn't have anybody. Do you recognize that he's got problems?
- 27:21Speaker 1: You were hearing a neighbor that's Connie who lived next
- 27:25Speaker 1: to Jeremy Webster. Apparently no one knew that there was
- 27:32Speaker 1: anything wrong, that there was any mental defect or instability
- 27:38Speaker 1: or issue whatsoever, and expressed surprise that the shooting suspect
- 27:43Speaker 1: Jeremy Webster lived right there in her apartment complex. But
- 27:48Speaker 1: take a listen to this. I was talking to you
- 27:51Speaker 1: a little bit earlier about that witness I talked with.
- 27:53Speaker 1: She said that she saw one of the young kids
- 27:55Speaker 1: out here running towards the street. She stopped him, trying
- 27:59Speaker 1: to make sure that he was going to be safe,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and took him into a nearby dental office, Comfort Dental.
- 28:04Speaker 1: I spoke with one of the co owners of that
- 28:07Speaker 1: place just a few minutes ago, and he explained what
- 28:11Speaker 1: staff they're told him at the time. We knew he
- 28:15Speaker 1: was related to the victims at the time, and the
- 28:18Speaker 1: story that I heard was that he was incredibly brave
- 28:22Speaker 1: and courageous and certainly helped the police officers get to
- 28:26Speaker 1: the bottom of what had gone on. Everybody's still distraught
- 28:29Speaker 1: in that office today, but they are open and you
- 28:31Speaker 1: can see flowers. A number of well wishers leaving some
- 28:34Speaker 1: flowers on the bushes underneath this sign. Here, this is
- 28:37Speaker 1: the parking lot where that incident happened. Yesterday, again, four
- 28:40Speaker 1: people's shot. One of those children died. We are told
- 28:44Speaker 1: that the mom and her other child are still in
- 28:47Speaker 1: critical condition, and that the other victim, a man, an
- 28:52Speaker 1: adult male, is expected to be okay. Again. Road range
- 28:56Speaker 1: behind issooting yesterday our friends is CBS four Denver. Was
- 29:00Speaker 1: Brian Mass speaking did you hear him? State Steve Lampley,
- 29:04Speaker 1: detective author of Outside Your Door, that he made contact
- 29:09Speaker 1: with another guy that must be the victim, John Gill,
- 29:13Speaker 1: that he shot John Gill was taking his daughter to
- 29:16Speaker 1: the dentist. He shot him down because the guy looked
- 29:19Speaker 1: at him, Nancy. So this was not like they were
- 29:23Speaker 1: saying a while ago. This is not necessarily tied to
- 29:27Speaker 1: the incident of being cut off. It's possibly tied to
- 29:31Speaker 1: pent up anger or something that happened previously, along with
- 29:34Speaker 1: his paranoia. In my opinion, well, I don't know about that.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I think it's a mixture because actually we hear that
- 29:41Speaker 1: the mom, Megan Bigelow, was dodging an emergency transport vehicle
- 29:46Speaker 1: I guess an ambulance and she accidentally cut the guy off.
- 29:50Speaker 1: She cut Jeremy Webster off and he began following her,
- 29:54Speaker 1: so she wasn't picked out at random, she and her family.
- 29:58Speaker 1: He followed her. We even through traffic all the way
- 30:01Speaker 1: the dentist office had pulled down, pulled in behind her.
- 30:05Speaker 1: It seems as if he blocked her in so she
- 30:07Speaker 1: didn't have anywhere to go. I'm not sure about that,
- 30:08Speaker 1: but got right behind her, so that is what triggered it,
- 30:13Speaker 1: because he picked her car after she cut him off
- 30:16Speaker 1: by accident and followed her for some period of time
- 30:20Speaker 1: on the highway until she pulls in at the dentist office.
- 30:23Speaker 1: That is what triggered it. Yeah, I completely agree. But
- 30:26Speaker 1: think about road rage in general, and I've seen it
- 30:29Speaker 1: happen on the interstates way too often, and that is
- 30:31Speaker 1: somebody accidentally cuts someone off, swerves over into the other lane,
- 30:36Speaker 1: and that triggers the person next to them, who then
- 30:38Speaker 1: literally will chase them. I've seen it on the interstate,
- 30:41Speaker 1: chasing them down. So I think that's exactly what happened.
- 30:45Speaker 1: He didn't care. The reason he didn't care what was
- 30:48Speaker 1: going on around him. He perceived it as she's going
- 30:51Speaker 1: to run into me, it's her fault. He then instigated
- 30:55Speaker 1: in a second and chased her down. Isn't it true?
- 30:58Speaker 1: Dave Jackie is here in the studio is telling me
- 31:02Speaker 1: that he got out, had a verbal confrontation with Megan Bigelow,
- 31:06Speaker 1: the mom of three, then went back into his car
- 31:10Speaker 1: and got his block his gun. Is that right? That's
- 31:12Speaker 1: my understanding, Nancy WHOA. That's what we call in the
- 31:15Speaker 1: law premeditation. Ashley explained her. I am so premeditation, Nancy.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You know, and you've said this often, and it's so true.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Premeditation can happen in a second, It can happen ten
- 31:28Speaker 1: days before an event. It is when a person thinks
- 31:32Speaker 1: about it, premeditates and decides they're going to do it.
- 31:37Speaker 1: They think about it the second I would submit. This
- 31:40Speaker 1: man started chasing her car down. He didn't know anything
- 31:44Speaker 1: about her, didn't know anything about who was in the car.
- 31:47Speaker 1: He was angry. She came over, he chased her down.
- 31:52Speaker 1: That to me's the premeditation in this case. Well, the
- 31:55Speaker 1: judge trying to determine if there's enough evidence to buying
- 31:59Speaker 1: the case over for trial. Well, it ends in an indictment,
- 32:04Speaker 1: which means he is going to go to trial. Take
- 32:07Speaker 1: a listen to our frensy KdV R. This is Shaul Turner.
- 32:11Speaker 1: His name is Jeremy Webster. He's twenty three years old
- 32:15Speaker 1: and apparently lives in Colorado Springs. We don't know what
- 32:18Speaker 1: he was doing up here in the Westminster area yesterday.
- 32:21Speaker 1: He's being held for investigation of first degree murder after deliberation,
- 32:24Speaker 1: first degree homicide with extreme indifference, first degree assault, and
- 32:29Speaker 1: three counts of criminal attempt. Now, that road rage incident
- 32:34Speaker 1: that you were talking about happened right in this area yesterday.
- 32:37Speaker 1: We talked with an individual who said she was driving
- 32:40Speaker 1: by heard some gunshots. We know that the suspect apparently
- 32:45Speaker 1: fired multiple times, hitting four individuals, an adult male who
- 32:50Speaker 1: was in one of the vehicles nearby, an adult female,
- 32:54Speaker 1: and two of her at least three children who were
- 32:57Speaker 1: here on scene. Now, Webster himself then to golf, driving
- 33:01Speaker 1: in a black Toyota Corolla. He was apprehended along I
- 33:05Speaker 1: twenty five near Castle Rock yesterday, apparently taken into custody
- 33:09Speaker 1: without incident. He has now entered a not guilty plea
- 33:13Speaker 1: and is awaiting trial. But even though the case is
- 33:16Speaker 1: moving forward through legal channels, take a listen to the
- 33:20Speaker 1: district attorney. Nothing is gonna please them. Nothing we do.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Nothing that's going to happen in the system. You know.
- 33:29Speaker 1: The only thing that can happen is we can go
- 33:30Speaker 1: back in time and none of this would ever happen.
- 33:32Speaker 1: That's obviously impossible. And he's right what this mother must
- 33:38Speaker 1: be going through having her children shot. One one boy
- 33:44Speaker 1: murdered execution style in the parking lot at the dentist
- 33:50Speaker 1: all over a road rage incident. I'm sure she's blaming
- 33:55Speaker 1: herself in some way, even though this is not her fault.
- 33:59Speaker 1: There's the aspect of survivor's guilt, which could plague the
- 34:03Speaker 1: other brothers and the mother for the rest of their
- 34:05Speaker 1: life while they are chart listen. Jeremy Webster faces eleven
- 34:12Speaker 1: charges and could face the death penalty. Investigators say Webster
- 34:15Speaker 1: followed forty one year old Megan Bigelow into a parking
- 34:18Speaker 1: lot in Westminster last week. They reportedly argued. Then Webster's
- 34:23Speaker 1: accused of shooting the mom, her thirteen year old son, Vaughan,
- 34:26Speaker 1: and seven year old Asa. A man in a nearby
- 34:29Speaker 1: car was shot as well. Vaughan was killed. And now
- 34:32Speaker 1: we're hearing for the first time from the victims of
- 34:35Speaker 1: that shooting. They've released a statement and a family picture
- 34:39Speaker 1: says quote. The Bigelows will need to have some help
- 34:41Speaker 1: moving forward. They ask that you consider donating blood immemorial
- 34:45Speaker 1: of Vaughan Bigelow junior. Seven year old Asa has a
- 34:48Speaker 1: tricheotomy so he can't speak, but they say he's more
- 34:51Speaker 1: alert this morning. Oh my stars, I can hardly take
- 34:55Speaker 1: in what that family is going through you're hearing din
- 34:58Speaker 1: Verse sevens Meghan Nopez to Ashley Willcott. I don't know
- 35:04Speaker 1: how you could ever deal with being there in the
- 35:08Speaker 1: parking lot when your child's executed. Neither can I, and
- 35:12Speaker 1: I agree with you as a mother. You're going to
- 35:14Speaker 1: blame yourself. You're going to go over it again and
- 35:16Speaker 1: again and again and again in your mind to say,
- 35:19Speaker 1: what could I have done? What should I have done?
- 35:21Speaker 1: Here's the bottom line. At some point, as horrible as
- 35:24Speaker 1: it is, you have to forgive yourself and be able
- 35:26Speaker 1: to say it happened. There's nothing I could have done
- 35:30Speaker 1: to change the outcome. And I now have to be
- 35:32Speaker 1: here to continue to love and support my children. And
- 35:35Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what it might take to get
- 35:38Speaker 1: through that as a mother. It's horrible. We wait as
- 35:42Speaker 1: justice unvols Nancy Gray's crime story, signing off Goodbye friend,
