19-year-old arrested in connection to North Texas teen's body found in lake · Murder Files Unsealed

  Speaker 1: I want you to imagine, just for a second, being
• 0:03
  a parent. Okay, you have a deeply responsible teenager. Yeah,
• 0:07
  I mean an eighteen year old who is practically an adult, right,
• 0:10
  someone you just trust.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Implicitly, right, the kind of kid you don't even have
• 0:14
  to worry about.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And it's a warm April afternoon, and he tells
• 0:19
  you he's heading out for a casual afternoon of swimming
• 0:22
  and fishing with a couple of friends.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Very typical teenage stuff.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, It's the kind of normal, everyday thing that
• 0:29
  you know, it doesn't even register as a blip on
• 0:31
  your radar. So he leaves, right, and he never returns.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: God, that's just every parent's nightmare.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It is. But now I want you to imagine the
• 0:40
  absolute stomach dropping horror of discovering that the people he
• 0:44
  was with, like those friends he went out with, they
• 0:48
  knew what happened to.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Him all along, from the very beginning, the.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Very first minute. But instead of calling for help, or
• 0:54
  you know, instead of calling you, they chose to hide
• 0:57
  the evidence.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Because they prioritize their own, you know, their own self
• 1:01
  preservation over his life and honestly, over his family's sanity.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And The terrible thing is that isn't a hypothetical scenario.
• 1:10
  That is exactly what happened to the parents of eighteen
• 1:12
  year old Daniel Irving.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: In April of twenty twenty six, right at.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Lake ray Hubbard in North Texas. So today we're not
• 1:19
  just looking at a timeline of a tragic drowning.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: No, it's so much more than that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It really is. We're looking at a shocking evidence tampering
• 1:27
  case involving his companions as a nineteen year old Lucas
• 1:31
  Roper and a seventeen year old.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Who we can't name because he's a minor exactly.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And this deep dive operates on well so many different
• 1:39
  levels underneath the surface. We're unpacking the physiological realities of
• 1:44
  water hazards and.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The deep legal complexities of evidence tampering too.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the massive uncomfortable societal questions this all raises.
• 1:51
  I mean, we're talking about youth culture.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: The prefrontal cortex, short circuiting under.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Pressure, yes, the friction of institutional responses, and even the
• 1:59
  disparities that civil rights advocates point out in missing person cases.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It covers a lot of ground.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It does, so, whether your interest lies in criminal law,
• 2:08
  or psychology or the mechanics of digital forensics. This case
• 2:13
  is really a masterclass in how a single, split second
• 2:17
  moment of teenage panic can just unravel into a sprawling
• 2:21
  legal crisis.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It's a textbook example, unfortunately.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So let's start by looking at Daniel Irving himself or
• 2:27
  is the people close to him called him Mike Right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Establishing who Daniel was is just critical to understanding the
• 2:34
  immediate response from his family and also the eventual friction
• 2:38
  with law enforcement.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lay that out for us. Who is Daniel?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Well, he was eighteen, a senior at Saxey High School
• 2:44
  in the Garland Independent School District. The initial missing possens
• 2:48
  reports describe him as five feet nine inches tall, weighing
• 2:51
  around one hundred and ninety pounds, with short black hair
• 2:54
  and brown eyes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So an average build for a young guy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but beyond his physical description, his behavioral profile is
• 3:00
  what makes the events of April thirteenth so so profoundly.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Alarming because he wasn't just a regular.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Kid, right exactly. He was an honorall student, and he
• 3:08
  was a dedicated member of the school swim team.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, the swim team detail is huge. We're going to
• 3:13
  come back to that, we definitely are.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But to finish his profile, he lived with his family
• 3:18
  in the teny four hundred block of Woodland's.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Trail in Rollet, and he didn't own a car, right, right, He.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Didn't have his own vehicle, so getting rides from friends
• 3:25
  was a super familiar arrangement for him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, but the detail from the reports that really jumps
• 3:31
  out to me is that Daniel did not leave home
• 3:33
  without his essentials never, Like his driver's license is cash.
• 3:37
  He always had them on him always. That feels so
• 3:40
  much like the you know, the designated responsible friend architel Oh.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely every friend group has.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: One, right, the guy who remembers where you parked, who
• 3:50
  always has his ID, who basically keeps the chaotic elements
• 3:55
  of the group in check, the anchor of the group exactly.
• 3:58
  And if I'm that guy's parent and his wallet it's
• 4:00
  just sitting there on his dresser. But he's been gone
• 4:02
  for hours.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That's not just a curiosity, No, that's.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: A massive deviation from his baseline behavior. It's an immediate
• 4:09
  flashing red light.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And in missing person profiling, that deviation from the baseline
• 4:15
  is actually the primary heuristic investigators used to allocate resources.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: What do you mean by heuristic like a shortcut, Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: A mental shortcut for the police. Because you know, human
• 4:25
  beings are creatures of intense habit. We build these deep
• 4:29
  neurological pathways around our routines. So if a person is
• 4:33
  known to be transient, or if they frequently just drop
• 4:35
  off the grid, a disappearance is run through a lower urgency.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Model because it's normal for them to vanish for a
• 4:41
  bit exactly.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But when you have a highly responsible, honorable student who
• 4:47
  meticulously carries his identification.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And leaves it all behind, right, leaving.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It behind indicates that his departure was either heavily coerced
• 4:56
  or a completely mundane situation escalated into a catast strophic
• 5:00
  one with zero warning. Wow, it signals to the family
• 5:04
  and honestly, it should signal to the police that a
• 5:06
  voluntary disappearance is just.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Off the table, which makes the entire premise of that
• 5:11
  afternoon completely baffling. I mean, he's an experienced competitive swimmer,
• 5:15
  highly experienced, and the physical conditioning required for a high
• 5:18
  school swim team. It suggests a really high level of
• 5:23
  cardiovascular endurance and a deep comfort in the water.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you have to be an incredible shape.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Right, So the idea that a fit one hundred and
• 5:33
  ninety pounds swimmer goes out for a casual afternoon and
• 5:36
  just drowns.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense on the surface.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: No, it feels entirely contradictory. It challenges this assumption of
• 5:42
  a simple accident before we even get to the tampering
• 5:45
  part of this story.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Well, it really forces us to look at the environmental
• 5:48
  mechanics of where they were.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Because a lake is in a pool, exactly.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: The controlled environment of a swimming pool with you know,
• 5:54
  clear water, regulated temperatures, predictable depths, and absolutely zero current.
• 6:00
  That does not translate to the chaotic fluid dynamics of
• 6:03
  an open reservoir.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Which brings us directly to the afternoon of April thirteenth.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Let's walk through the timeline, Okay, So around four point
• 6:09
  four to five pm, Daniel is picked up at his
• 6:12
  home on Woodlands Trail.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: By the nineteen year old Lucas Roper and the seventeen
• 6:16
  year old.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Right, and the stated plan was fishing and swimming at
• 6:20
  Lake Gray Hubbard.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But they don't just go like waiting off a sandy beach.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: No, they head to an area near the Miller Road
• 6:26
  Bridge in Rawlet.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And I want you to dissect this for us, because
• 6:30
  Lake ray Hubbard is not just a little pond.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Not at all. Lake ray Hubbard is a massive, sprawling reservoir.
• 6:37
  It intersects Dallas, rock Wall and Colling Counties. It's huge,
• 6:41
  it's huge, and it has a deeply documented history of fatalities,
• 6:46
  largely due to its deceptive topography. Deceptive how well, reservoirs
• 6:50
  are essentially flooded river valleys or submerged towns right right.
• 6:54
  They're man made exactly, So underneath that calm surface you
• 6:58
  have sudden dramatic depth changes. You could be in three
• 7:02
  feet of water, take one step and drop into a
• 7:04
  twenty foot channel.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, so you completely lose your footing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then you have unpredictable swirling currents. These are
• 7:12
  generated by wind, but also by underwater thermal gradients.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Well, the temperature literally causes currents.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, cold water sinking and warm water rising creates movement.
• 7:21
  Plus you have submerged debris, old trees, concrete structures, wire fencing, stuff.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That was just left there when they flooded the valley.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It's an obstacle course down there, and on.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Top of all that hazard, they weren't just swimming, they
• 7:33
  were jumping from a bridge, right, which I mean the
• 7:36
  impact trauma alone is a massive risk. Hitting the water
• 7:39
  wrong from a height can knock the wind out of
• 7:41
  you or worse easily. But I really want to zero
• 7:44
  in on the timing here. This happened in mid April,
• 7:47
  and in Texas, the air temperature in April can easily
• 7:49
  hit eighty or eighty five degrees.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it feels like summer outside exactly.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So you're sweating, you feel hot. But the water in
• 7:56
  a massive, deep reservoir like that, that is a completely
• 8:00
  different story, Isn't.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It radically different? The thermal mass of that much water
• 8:04
  means it takes months to warm up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So even if it's eighty five degrees out the water
• 8:08
  is what the water is still incredibly cold in mid April,
• 8:12
  sometimes in the fifties or low sixties, which is freezing
• 8:14
  to jump into.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Right, And when a human body hits cold water unexpectedly,
• 8:19
  two competing physiological reflexes are triggered simultaneously.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Wait two at the same time, Yes.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And the conflict between those two reflexes can actually be lethal.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think I've heard of one of these. Is
• 8:31
  it the mammalian dive reflex, like where your body hits
• 8:34
  cold water and your heart rate automatically slows down to
• 8:37
  conserve oxygen.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right. The mammalian dive reflex is triggered
• 8:42
  primarily by cold water hitting the trigeminal nerve on your face.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: The trigeminal nerve.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a major nerve in your face. When it
• 8:49
  feels that sudden cold it commands the parasympathetic nervous system
• 8:54
  to induce brady cardia.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Which means slowing the heart right, and.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It also shunts blood away from your limbs to protect
• 9:01
  your core organs, your brain, and your heart.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a protective measure. It's trying to save you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, But simultaneously, the sudden shock of cold water over
• 9:12
  the massive surface area of your torso triggers what's called
• 9:16
  the cold shock response.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And what does that do.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Well, This one is a sympathetic nervous system reaction. It
• 9:21
  causes an uncontrollable involuntary gas reflex oh followed by hyperventilation.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So your brain is screaming at your lungs to take
• 9:30
  a massive sudden breath right as your head goes underwater,
• 9:33
  while at the exact same time, your other nervous system
• 9:36
  is slamming the brakes on your heart rate.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Precisely, you have one system saying stop and conserve and
• 9:41
  the other screaming panic and gasp.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a recipe for a heart attack.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: It is that autonomic conflict can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias
• 9:50
  in completely healthy athletic individuals.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Even an eighteen year old swimmer, even.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: An eighteen year old Olympic swimmer. And even if your
• 9:58
  heart handles the shock, that involuntary gas means you inhale
• 10:02
  water instantly.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You drowned on the very first second.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Right. Furthermore, let's say you survive the initial plunge and
• 10:09
  you don't inhale water. Okay, the rapid cooling of the
• 10:12
  muscle tissue in your arms and legs causes peripheral paralysis
• 10:16
  within three to five.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Minutes, paralysis like you just can't move.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Basically, it does not matter how strong a swimmer you are.
• 10:22
  If the muscles in your arms physically cannot contract because
• 10:26
  the enzymatic reactions have been slowed down by the cold water,
• 10:29
  you just sink you will sink. It's bibomechanical failure.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That is terrifying hmm. And it makes a danger incredibly clear.
• 10:36
  But it brings me back to the psychological contradiction of
• 10:40
  this whole thing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: How small.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Jumping off the Miller Rode bridge is illegal, first of all,
• 10:45
  and it's a known local hazard very much so. Daniel
• 10:48
  is the responsible kid. He's the one who always brings
• 10:51
  his wallet. Why does a kid with a fully functional
• 10:54
  moral compass and an honorable intellect take an illegal, extreme
• 10:59
  risk like this.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It's a peer dynamic, right.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a blown fuse in the prefrontal cortex.
• 11:05
  The brain detects a social threat, like the threat of
• 11:08
  backing down in front of your friends, and the amigola
• 11:11
  just cuts the power to the logic center.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: That is a very accurate way to put it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They aren't up there calculating the thermal gradients of the water.
• 11:18
  They are solely optimizing for surviving the next five minutes
• 11:22
  without being labeled a coward by their peers.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And that blown fuse analogy is a perfect reflection of
• 11:28
  adolescent neurobiology.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Because their brains aren't done cooking yet exactly.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: The prefrontal cortex, which governs risk assessment, impulse control, you know,
• 11:38
  long term consequence evaluation. It does not fully mature until
• 11:42
  your mid twenties. So in an eighteen year old, the
• 11:45
  limics system, which is the emotional reward seeking center of
• 11:49
  the brain, is highly active.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: It's firing on all cylinders, while.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: The executive control center is literally still under construction. So
• 11:57
  when you introduce peer dynamics, the social cost of backing
• 12:01
  down triggers a higher stress response than the abstract, invisible
• 12:05
  physical risk of the water.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The classic illusion of invincibility, absolutely, and that impulsive leap
• 12:11
  from the bridge. It changed the trajectory of all their lives.
• 12:15
  But the thing is what turns this from a tragic
• 12:17
  environmental accident into a criminal felony is the devastating sequence
• 12:21
  of decisions that Lucas, Roper and the juvenile made, the
• 12:25
  literal second Tanny as he doing. Because Roper and the
• 12:28
  seventeen year old they exit the water safely, they look
• 12:31
  out at a dangerous cold reservoir and their friend is missing.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And what's the normal reaction there?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Panic?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Right, Yes, the expected autonomic response here is absolute panic,
• 12:41
  the classic fight flight or freeze mechanism. But what happens
• 12:45
  next completely transcends panic.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, becomes methodical because what they do is they gather
• 12:50
  Daniel's clothes, which were left on the shore or up
• 12:52
  on the bridge, and they carry them to a nearby
• 12:55
  tree line to conceal them.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: They intentionally hide his clothes.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: That's not pan, that's a plan. Then they get into
• 13:03
  Lucas Roper's vehicle. As they drive away, literally leaving Daniel
• 13:07
  behind in the water, Roper commands the seventeen year old
• 13:11
  to roll down the window and throw Daniel's cell phone
• 13:14
  out of the.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Car to get rid of the tracking device.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Right, and as if that isn't enough, Roper pulls out
• 13:19
  his own phone and systematically deletes every single text message
• 13:23
  and call record between himself and Daniel from that day.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: That sequence of actions, gathering specific items, finding a hiding
• 13:30
  spot in the trees, coordinating the disposal of a phone
• 13:33
  from a moving vehicle, and selectively scrubbing a digital footprint, Yeah,
• 13:38
  that requires executive function.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It's not a blind panic response, not at all.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: It is a calculated, sustained effort to distance themselves from
• 13:46
  the event and break the associated chain between them and Daniel.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: When the police finally interview roper. His explanation for this
• 13:54
  elaborate cover up is just chilling to me.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: What did he say?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He said he did it because he was a afraid
• 14:00
  of getting into trouble. Wow, I know, the spectacularly juvenile
• 14:04
  phrase for a monumental betrayal. It's literally the exact same
• 14:09
  psychological mechanism as a ten year old hitting a baseball
• 14:12
  through the neighbor's.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Window and hiding the bat in the bushes so he
• 14:15
  doesn't get grounded.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, We've all felt that spike of adrenaline, right,
• 14:19
  that desperate urge to just undo a mistake before anyone finds.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Out for self preservation.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: But scaling that childhood instinct up to a catastrophic life
• 14:28
  or death scenario where you abandon a human being.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: To drown, it's unfathomable.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It is staggering to consider at what precise second that
• 14:36
  teenage panic mutated into a calculated criminal cover up, and the.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Real tragedy is that their calculation optimized for the entirely
• 14:44
  wrong variable. What do you mean, Well, by hyper focusing
• 14:47
  on avoiding immediate disciplinary or legal trouble, they completely ignored
• 14:51
  the biological reality of what was happening in the water
• 14:54
  right in front of them.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The clock was ticking fast.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: In the medical and search and rescue communities, is a
• 15:00
  concept known as the golden minutes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I've heard of the golden hour in trauma, but golden minutes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Right in a drowning incident, you don't have an hour.
• 15:08
  The timeline to brain death from hypoxia is brutally short.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So assuming he didn't die on impact and was just
• 15:15
  out there struggling, a nine to one to one call
• 15:18
  could have had a rescue team in.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: The water immediately, or even basic flotation assistance, throwing a cooler,
• 15:24
  yelling for nearby boaters. Any of that could have interrupted
• 15:26
  the drowning process.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: But they just left.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They did, and even if he was already submerged, immediate
• 15:31
  retrieval and CPR within the first four to six minutes
• 15:34
  can circulate oxygenated blood to the brain.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So even underwater, there was a window.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, staving off irreversible anoxic brain injury. But by choosing
• 15:43
  concealment over communication, Roper and the Juvenile essentially nullified any
• 15:48
  statistical probability of Daniel's survival.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: They signed his death warrant. By driving away, they locked
• 15:54
  in the fatal outcome and by choosing silence, they condemned
• 15:59
  Daniel's family to this agonizing period of not knowing. I mean,
• 16:03
  while Roper and the juvenile went home and slept in
• 16:05
  their beds, a deeply flawed bureaucratic search protocol slowly groaned
• 16:12
  into motion.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: It was incredibly slow.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Let's look at April fourteenth, the day after the jump.
• 16:18
  Daniel's mother goes to the Roulet police department and she
• 16:21
  files a missing person's report, right, But because Daniel had
• 16:25
  just turned eighteen, the entire apparatus of the state treats
• 16:28
  his disappearance differently than if you were seventeen.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Which is a massive distinction. The jurisdictional and procedural shift
• 16:34
  between a missing miner and a missing adult is vast.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Can you explain that difference? Because to a mother, her
• 16:41
  child is her.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Child, of course, but legally with a minor, law enforcement
• 16:45
  assumes involuntary absence.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Meaning they assumed the kid didn't want.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: To leave exactly. Amber alerts can be triggered, immediate aggressive
• 16:52
  search protocols, or authorized helicopter's dogs, all of it. But
• 16:55
  with an adult, adults possess the constitutional right to simply
• 16:59
  walk away from their lives. You, as an adult, are
• 17:02
  legally allowed to turn off your phone, drain your bank accounts,
• 17:06
  and disappear without informing your family.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Which means the system's default assumption is that an eighteen
• 17:11
  year old is just blowing.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Off steam, right, regardless of what the mother is saying
• 17:15
  about his baseline behavior or his wallet being left behind.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And the most infuriating consequence of this bureaucratic friction revolves
• 17:25
  around Daniel's cellphone, the one on.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: The side of the highway.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the police could not immediately ping his phone's location
• 17:32
  due to privacy laws. Let's really break that down, Okay,
• 17:36
  because to a desperate mother being told that privacy laws
• 17:39
  are protecting a phone sitting in the dirt next to
• 17:42
  a road, that sounds like a sick joke. How does
• 17:45
  the bureaucratic mechanism of pinging a phone actually work and
• 17:48
  why was it blocked here?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it comes down to Fourth Amendment jurisprudence.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Protection against unreasonable search and seizure right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Specifically, in recent years, courts, including the Landmarks Supreme Court
• 18:00
  case Carboner of the United States, have ruled that obtaining
• 18:03
  cell site location information, or a CSLI, requires a warrant
• 18:07
  supported by probable cause, so.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: They can't just ask Verizon where the phone.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Is absolutely not to bypass a warrant. Police must demonstrate
• 18:15
  exigent circumstances, meaning an emergency, yes, a legally articulable immediate
• 18:20
  threat to life or physical safety.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So a mother is sitting in the precinct saying my
• 18:24
  son is missing and he left his wallet behind. That
• 18:27
  doesn't automatically equal an exigent circumstance in the eyes of
• 18:31
  a judge. Legally, no, that's insane.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's procedural. An officer has to write up an affidavit
• 18:36
  detailing specific facts that prove someone is in imminent life
• 18:39
  threatening danger. Then they submit it to a duty judge
• 18:42
  and have it signed. If all they have is a
• 18:44
  missing adult without signs of.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Foul play like no blood, no ransom note.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly, no history of suicidal ideation, a judge will likely
• 18:52
  reject the request, viewing it as government overreach because.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: They're protecting the adult's right to vanish.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: The system is fundamentally designed to do you prevent police
• 19:01
  from effortlessly tracking adult citizens, which is good in theory,
• 19:06
  but in cases like Daniels, that legal shield becomes a
• 19:09
  devastating roadblock.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Because the location data they could have instantly led police
• 19:14
  to the Mill Road bridge was locked behind a constitutional.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Firewall while he was in the water.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: The family is trapped in this bureaucratic nightmare for days.
• 19:24
  I mean, it isn't until April sixteenth, three full days
• 19:27
  after the disappearance, that the Ralet Police even issue a
• 19:31
  community alert.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And by then it's far too.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Late, way too late. And the very next day, April seventeenth,
• 19:37
  search teams finally recover Daniel's body from the waters of
• 19:40
  Lake Gray.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Hubbard and at that point jurisdiction immediately shifts to the
• 19:43
  Dallas Police Department for the death investigation.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Right but those four days in the water, they didn't
• 19:49
  just torture the family. They actively degraded the entire investigation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Didn't they, Oh, massively. Aquatic environments are incredibly hostile to
• 19:58
  forensic evidence.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Water just watches it, everything away.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: It does, and the decomposition process accelerates differently. In water.
• 20:05
  You have the rapid destruction of trace evidence like DNA
• 20:08
  or fibers on clothing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: If he was struggling with someone, any skin cells under
• 20:13
  his nails were gone gone.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: You also have the action of aquatic scavengers.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Additionally, you are fighting the Ebbing House forgetting curve with
• 20:23
  potential witnesses.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: The forgetting curve like how fast people's memories face exactly.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Human memory is highly malleable, and after four days, anyone
• 20:32
  who might have been at the lake or driving on
• 20:34
  that bridge will have degraded, contaminated recollections of what they saw.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: They won't remember if it was Tuesday or Wednesday they
• 20:39
  saw some kids on the bridge.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Right, the pristine window for investigation vanished, the literal moment,
• 20:45
  Roper drove away, and all.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: That time the family is left wondering why the people
• 20:49
  Daniel was with never reached out. I mean that silence
• 20:52
  from his friends is a profound psychological blow.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm imaginable.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But the silence finally breaks. On April twentieth, us PD
• 21:00
  detectives arrive at Saxey High School and they interview Lucas Roper,
• 21:04
  and Roper breaks he does. He confesses to directing the
• 21:08
  juvenile to throw the phone. He admits to hiding the clothes,
• 21:11
  and he admits to deleting the text because quote he
• 21:15
  was afraid.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Of trouble, And that confession finally provides the map.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Right following his statements. Police physically recover the discarded clothing
• 21:23
  from the tree line, and.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: They locate the cell phone thrown from the vehicle.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, and they initiate digital forensics on Daniel's device, successfully
• 21:32
  recovering the text messages and call logs between Daniel and
• 21:35
  Roper that Roper had attempted to.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Destroy, which is a crucial piece of the puzzle.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I really want to stop and look at this digital
• 21:41
  forensics aspect because people throw around terms like recovering data
• 21:45
  all the time, right, like it's magic on TV. They
• 21:48
  just push a button exactly, But the mechanical reality behind
• 21:52
  it is fascinating. When Roper hit delete on his phone,
• 21:55
  he genuinely thought he was a racing reality. How exactly
• 21:59
  do forensic xp or it's pulled deleted texts out of
• 22:01
  thin air?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it comes down to how nan flash memory works
• 22:04
  in modern smartphones nan flash memory. Yes, when you hit
• 22:08
  delete on a file or a text message, the operating
• 22:12
  system doesn't actually expend the energy to go in and
• 22:15
  wipe the data blocks clean.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Wait why not?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Because it would be wildly inefficient. It would drain your
• 22:20
  battery faster and degrade the physical life span of the
• 22:23
  memory chips.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, so the phone is just being lazy to save power.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: In a way. Yes, instead of erasing the data, the
• 22:30
  system simply deletes the pointer the address in the device's
• 22:34
  file directory.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I love this analogy. It's like taking the
• 22:38
  address plate off the house. Right. Yes, the house is
• 22:40
  still perfectly intact inside. The post office just doesn't know
• 22:43
  it's there anymore, so they won't deliver mail to it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: That's a perfect analogy. The data remains completely intact and
• 22:48
  what's called the unallocated space of the phone's memory until
• 22:52
  when until the operating system desperately needs that specific block
• 22:56
  of storage to write new information over it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, so if Roper hadn't downloaded a huge movie right after,
• 23:03
  the texts were just sitting there exactly.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: And forensic extraction tools like those manufactured by Celebrate they
• 23:09
  bypass the phone's standard operating system entirely.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, they don't even use the phone's interface.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: No, they read the physical memory chips directly at an
• 23:18
  X level.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: They just read the raw code.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Right, they scan the unallocated space, they find that house
• 23:24
  without the address, and they reconstruct the deleted text messages
• 23:27
  from the raw hex data.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, so Roper's attempt to destroy digital evidence was functionally
• 23:33
  useless against modern forensic protocols.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: It was a waste of time.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: So by April twentieth, let's recap where the police are.
• 23:39
  They have a taped confession, right, the seventeen year old
• 23:42
  corroborates it. Yes, they have the physical clothes, the physical phone,
• 23:46
  and the recovered deleted texts. They have a clear mode
• 23:49
  of fear of getting in trouble. The case is an
• 23:52
  absolute lock.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: It looks completely open and shut.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yet Lucas Roper is not arrested until July.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Ninth, almost three months later.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: That is an agonizing three month gap. A young man
• 24:03
  who literally admitted to a felony cover up of a
• 24:05
  death was sleeping in his own bed, going about his
• 24:09
  life for an entire quarter of a year.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It's hard to stomach.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: To the public, this looks like a massive, inexcusable failure
• 24:16
  of the justice system. How does this happen?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it highlights the massive chasm between the public expectation
• 24:23
  of justice and the rigorous, often painfully slow mechanics of
• 24:28
  legal prosecution. Explain that from a community perspective, leaving an
• 24:33
  admitted felon on the street signals apathy it says the
• 24:36
  police don't care. But from a prosecutorial standpoint, a quick
• 24:41
  arrest on an incomplete file is a recipe for a
• 24:44
  blown case.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: They had a confession, What more do you need than
• 24:47
  a guy saying I did it?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Because confessions are notoriously fragile in court? Really, oh absolutely,
• 24:53
  a defense attorney will immediately file a motion to suppress
• 24:56
  that confession.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: What grounds?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: They'll argue that interrogating an teen year old at a
• 25:00
  high school created a coercive environment, violating his miranda.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Rights because he felt like he couldn't leave exactly.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And if the judge agrees and throws out the confession,
• 25:09
  the state's case is severely wounded.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So they need everything else airtight to back it up.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, prosecutors require finalized, pure reviewed forensic reports, not just
• 25:20
  preliminary findings to secure unassailable arrest warrants.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So they were waiting on the celebrate reports, the official
• 25:27
  DNA all of it right.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: And they also have to wait for the complete autopsy
• 25:31
  and toxicology results.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Why does the autopsy matter for a tampering charge?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: To ensure they don't charge tampering too early, which could
• 25:37
  potentially trigger double jeopardy issues, if they later decide the
• 25:40
  evidence supports manslaughter.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, So if they rush and charge him with campering,
• 25:45
  they might block themselves from charging him with murder later.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly. The police are optimizing for a conviction that will
• 25:51
  stick forever, but the family is desperate for immediate accountability.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The tension between swift justice and airtight justice is brutal.
• 26:00
  Is But when July ninth finally arrives, Lucas Roper is
• 26:04
  booked into the Dallas County jail. The charge is felony
• 26:08
  tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair an investigation,
• 26:12
  and his bond is set at ten thousand dollars.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Under Texas Penal Code Section thirty seven point zero, tampering
• 26:18
  with evidence is a third degree felony.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's serious.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, it requires proving that a person altered, destroyed, or
• 26:26
  concealed a record, document, or thing with the intent to
• 26:30
  impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in an investigation, which.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He definitely did by hiding the clothes and tossing the
• 26:38
  phone textbuck. But let's talk about that ten thousand dollars bond,
• 26:41
  because looking at Dallas County's bail matrix, ten thousand dollars
• 26:45
  for a felony intrinsically linked to the death of a
• 26:48
  human being. Mmmm, it feels like an anomaly.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It sounds incredibly low.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: It feels insulting to the family. What algorithmic logic produces
• 26:57
  a number that low for a crime this serious.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: While modern veil systems rely heavily on algorithmic risk assessment
• 27:04
  tools such as the Public Safety Assessment or PSA.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, how does the PSA work.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: These algorithms process specific data points. They look at the
• 27:12
  defendant's age, their prior convictions, any history of failure to
• 27:15
  appear in court, and whether the current charge is technically
• 27:18
  classified as a violent offense.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Wait, tampering isn't a violent offense.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: No, because tampering with evidence is fundamentally a process crime.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: A process yeah.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: A crime against the administration of justice, not a direct
• 27:30
  violent crime against a person. So the algorithm weaits it lower.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Even if the evidence being tampered with was a dead
• 27:36
  body's close exactly.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: The algorithm doesn't care about the emotional context. Additionally, Roper
• 27:41
  remained in the jurisdiction for three months without fleeing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, because they waited three months, they prove he wasn't
• 27:47
  a flight risk.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Precisely, he had no known violent history, and he didn't run.
• 27:52
  The matrix spits out ten thousand dollars because it calculates
• 27:55
  him as a low flight risk and a low threat
• 27:58
  to public safety.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: The agorith and withmic neutrality, completely ignores the emotional and
• 28:03
  moral severity of his actions. It just strips all the
• 28:06
  context away.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It's cold math.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: But there's a crucial legal distinction here that is fascinating.
• 28:12
  The tampering charge exists in a total vacuum, doesn't it
• 28:15
  Like it doesn't actually matter how Daniel died.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: That is correct. The tampering statute completely decouples the cover
• 28:21
  up from the underlying event.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's say the medical examiner determines that Daniel
• 28:25
  suffered a completely spontaneous, unforeseeable medical event in the.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Water, like an aneurysm or a heart attack.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Right, meaning his death was an absolute accident with zero
• 28:36
  criminal liability for anyone.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: The tampering charge still stands. Really, Yes, the moment roper
• 28:42
  and the juvenile decided to hide his close and destroy
• 28:45
  the phone to impede the police, they committed a felony.
• 28:49
  The crime is the obstruction itself, regardless of whether the
• 28:52
  original event was criminal.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense. And while Roper is
• 28:56
  facing the transparency of the adult system, the seventeen year
• 28:59
  old is inside the juvenile.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Justice system, which is entirely different.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Right, the public and potentially even Daniel's family are completely
• 29:08
  walled off from knowing what consequences that kid will face.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: The juvenile system operates under strict confidentiality.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Why is it so secretive.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: It's historically rooted in the idea that minors are capable
• 29:19
  of rehabilitation. The system believes they shouldn't carry a public
• 29:24
  stigma for the rest of their lives for a mistake
• 29:26
  made before their brain was fully formed.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But in a case involving a death, that veilus secrecy
• 29:32
  feels to the victims like a total denial of transparency.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: It feels like the system is protecting the perpetrator and
• 29:38
  ignoring the victim.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, and all of this perceived leniency, the three
• 29:44
  month wait, the algorithmic ten thousand dollars bond, the black
• 29:48
  box of the juvenile court. It ignited a massive community response.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It really struck a nerve, it did.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And this is where the micro tragedy of Daniel Irving
• 29:58
  collides with much larger macro societal issues. The family, obviously
• 30:03
  distrusting the official process by this point, retain private attorneys
• 30:06
  Schandaradia and Blurum el Massey to launch an independent investigation.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Lunch is a huge step, and.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: They are joined by Dominique Alexander and the Next Generation
• 30:14
  Action Network or NGN, which is a prominent North Texas
• 30:18
  civil rights.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Organization and NNGN brings a lot of spotlight to the
• 30:21
  case we do.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: On June seventh, NNGN issued an open letter to Dallas
• 30:25
  Police Chief Daniel Como, essentially demanding rigor and regular updates.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And their involvement points to a deeply documented historical context here.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, the disparity in how missing person cases are handled
• 30:38
  based on demographic.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Right, it's a very real phenomenon.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: It's important to look at this neutrally through the lens
• 30:43
  of the data that these civil rights advocates provide. They
• 30:46
  point out that missing person reports involving black teens and
• 30:50
  young adults often do not trigger the same media amplification
• 30:54
  or immediate law enforcement resource allocation as other demographics.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Meta scholars often refer to this as missing white women
• 31:02
  syndrome exactly.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Ye, When a young, white, affluent woman goes missing, it's
• 31:07
  wall to wall cable news coverage. But when an eighteen
• 31:10
  year old, black, honorable student goes missing, advocates argue that
• 31:14
  the default bureaucratic assumption of he's just blowing off steam
• 31:18
  is applied much more.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Rigidly, which causes those critical delays in the golden hours
• 31:22
  of a search. When you combine that historical data with
• 31:26
  a three month delay in arresting men who literally confess
• 31:29
  to covering up his death, the optics are terrible. The
• 31:31
  community's outrage is entirely contextualized to them. The delay isn't
• 31:36
  just a matter of forensic peer review or building a
• 31:38
  strong case. It is perceived as systemic apathy.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: So you have this massive demand for institutional urgency on
• 31:45
  one side, But on the other side of this tragedy
• 31:47
  is a completely different, equally powerful cultural force, the youth
• 31:53
  culture of not snitching.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, the anti snitching culture is huge.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: The sociological pressure on teenagers to protect their peers from
• 32:00
  authority is immense, and it stems from a deep seated
• 32:04
  distrust of those exact same institutions.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: It really creates a lethal paradox, doesn't it. You have
• 32:09
  a youth culture terrify of being labeled a snitch, operating
• 32:13
  on this false premise that simply hiding a mistake will
• 32:15
  make it magically go away. And on the other side,
• 32:18
  you have a community demanding that law enforcement act with
• 32:20
  absolute aggressive urgency when lives are on the line.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And Daniel Irving was trapped right in the crossfire of
• 32:27
  those two sociological forces. He really was, and that tension
• 32:30
  is culminating today, literally today, right now, July thirteen, twenty
• 32:34
  twenty six, the Irving family, their attorneys, and NGNNE are
• 32:39
  holding a major press conference in Dallas.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: At NGN headquarters.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Right they are explicitly refusing to accept a simple accident narrative.
• 32:47
  They are demanding to know if further charges like reckless
• 32:51
  endangerment or failure to report a felony are coming.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Because there is still a massive black hole at the
• 32:57
  center of the story. We know they jumped, we know
• 33:00
  Daniel didn't resurface, and now.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: We know the horrific aftermath, but the mechanical reality of
• 33:06
  what actually happened in the water remains completely unknown. Was
• 33:10
  there a struggle, did panic cause one person to pull
• 33:12
  another down. These are the exact questions the family is demanding.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Answers to, which brings us back to the autopsy results.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, let's talk about that. A standard finding of consistent
• 33:23
  with drowning is one thing, but forensic pathology can go
• 33:26
  much deeper.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Camp Oh much deeper.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Can an autopsy actually tell investigators if Daniel struggled or
• 33:31
  if he was injured before he drowned.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, forensic pathologists look for specific microscopic markers. For instance,
• 33:39
  they look for diems microscopic algae. They look for it
• 33:42
  in the bone marrow.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Why the bone marrow.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Because if diatoms are in the deep tissue and bone marrow,
• 33:47
  it proves the heart was beating and actively circulating water
• 33:51
  from the lungs into the bloodstream after the person was submerged.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, so it proves he was alive when he
• 33:56
  went under and not pushed in after exactly.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: They also look for potechual hemorrhaging in the eyes, which
• 34:02
  indicates what strangulation or extreme pressure on the neck. They'll
• 34:06
  also carefully examine the hyoid bone in the throat for
• 34:09
  signs of trauma.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: So if the exhaust of autopsy reveals injuries, inconsistent with
• 34:14
  a simple panicky fall into cold water.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Then this single tampering charge could merely be a strategic placeholder.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: A placeholder to get roper into the system under a
• 34:24
  judge's authority while they build a much heavier manslaughter or
• 34:28
  murder case.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: It's a very common prosecutorial tactic.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: We all have to wait for the legal machinery to
• 34:32
  finish turning to find out the whole truth. But looking
• 34:35
  at the entirety of what we've unpacked today, it's just overwhelming.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: We have a brilliant, responsible young man whose life ended
• 34:43
  in the freezing, hazardous currents of a reservoir.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: We have companions whose immature, panicked logic drove them to
• 34:50
  a calculated felony cover up instead of making a life
• 34:53
  saving phone call.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Right, and we have a family battling through bureaucratic friction,
• 34:58
  algorithmic bail system, and historical disparities, just demanding that the
• 35:03
  truth be brought to light.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: It really illustrates how rapidly a lack of critical thinking
• 35:08
  combined with severe environmental hazards can cascade into a permanent,
• 35:13
  multi jurisdictional tragedy.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: It absolutely does I want to leave you with a
• 35:17
  final thought about the digital footprint of this case.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: It's a haunting aspect.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: It really is. Roper systematically deleted his texts, operating under
• 35:26
  the assumption that he could simply curate reality exactly the
• 35:29
  same way we curate a social media feed.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Right, just hit delete and it's gone.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: We live in an era where our digital devices are
• 35:36
  essentially black boxes. They record our biometric data, our locations
• 35:39
  are final communications.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I know everything about us.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Everything, and the illusion that we can just hit delete
• 35:45
  and erase our mistakes is so deeply ingrained in modern
• 35:49
  youth culture. But the forensic reality is that the data
• 35:52
  never really dies. It just waits in the unallocated space
• 35:56
  to be found.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: It's always there.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: The profound, haunting tragedy here is that the very smartphone
• 36:01
  Roper held in his hand, a device capable of summoning
• 36:05
  a rescue helicopter with a three digit call, was instead
• 36:08
  weaponized in a feudle technologically illiterate attempt to erase Daniel's memory.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It's a chilling reminder of how advanced technology interacts with
• 36:16
  our most primal, panicked instincts.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It really is. We appreciate you joining us for this
• 36:21
  deep dive keep questioning the systems around you, and remember
• 36:24
  the parents who are still fighting for answers
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Because the wait for Daniel Irving is over, but the
• 36:30
  fight for his truth is just beginning.
