Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Body times. But Joseph's gotten more. You know. I got
- 0:06Speaker 1: to tell you, I don't necessarily run in the circles
- 0:10Speaker 1: of rich folks. I never have. I don't come from
- 0:13Speaker 1: a bunch of wealth or anything like that. My family's been,
- 0:16Speaker 1: you know, on the North American continent, I guess, since
- 0:19Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds. But whoever was in charge of acquiring wealth
- 0:23Speaker 1: in my family, they failed miserably, so none of that
- 0:26Speaker 1: was ever passed on to me. I've certainly never been
- 0:29Speaker 1: around folks that can afford to have a I don't know,
- 0:33Speaker 1: you know, with them stay at home nannies or they
- 0:35Speaker 1: call them an a pair, you know, to watch after
- 0:39Speaker 1: the young folks, take care of the babies for you.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Never understood that. I don't know. I guess. I guess
- 0:46Speaker 1: people have the ability to do that. My family never
- 0:50Speaker 1: did that. Plus, I love taking care of my own youngness.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Love taking care of my grandbabies too. I don't want
- 0:56Speaker 1: to hand them off somebody. But that's just me. But
- 0:59Speaker 1: you know, there's a case that has been going on
- 1:01Speaker 1: for some time, and I've had a lot of you
- 1:03Speaker 1: guys ask me about my opinion regarding regarding this case.
- 1:09Speaker 1: In the I R SI agent who's now on trial
- 1:13Speaker 1: for his life because of the forensics here, because the
- 1:17Speaker 1: forensics are so odd in this case, and this case
- 1:22Speaker 1: involves many things that we talk about, you know, in
- 1:26Speaker 1: the forensic world, specifically crumbing, staging, you know, which is
- 1:32Speaker 1: a discipline all in of itself. So today on Bodybacks,
- 1:37Speaker 1: as the case up in up in Virginia is going
- 1:43Speaker 1: on right now of this man who Brendan Banfield, who
- 1:50Speaker 1: fact is an I R. S Agent, he's on trial
- 1:53Speaker 1: for his life. Let's dig into this a little bit.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And it's peak my curiosity, that is for sure. So
- 2:02Speaker 1: without further ado, guess what. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and
- 2:06Speaker 1: this is Bodybacks. Brother, Dave, I don't know about you.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I never had folks take care of my of my
- 2:17Speaker 1: youngins for me, I mean, family, you know, would watch
- 2:20Speaker 1: them periodically, but it was it was me and Kimmy.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I've never really understood these folks that, you know, sign
- 2:26Speaker 1: up to take care of other peoples. It's one thing
- 2:29Speaker 1: to clean up the mess of your own kids, but
- 2:32Speaker 1: to clean up the mess of somebody else's kids, it's
- 2:35Speaker 1: just it's it's something different for me, and it's something
- 2:38Speaker 1: I can't identify with it. But if you have enough money,
- 2:41Speaker 1: you know you could, you know you can afford to
- 2:43Speaker 1: do that.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Well, here's what we've got.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Friends, We actually have an ir S Special agent that
- 2:49Speaker 3: means he carries a gun, Brendan Banfield. We have the
- 2:53Speaker 3: all pair for Brendan and his wife Christine, who is
- 2:57Speaker 3: Juliana Perez Magales at time twenty three years old. Christine
- 3:03Speaker 3: Banfield is thirty seven, by the way. And then we
- 3:06Speaker 3: got a guy, a guy named Joseph Ryan. He is
- 3:10Speaker 3: not connected to this before the event takes place, really,
- 3:13Speaker 3: and what happens is on the morning where we are
- 3:16Speaker 3: now almost three years removed from when this happened.
- 3:20Speaker 1: God is it been three years?
- 3:22Speaker 3: February twenty fourth, twenty twenty three, police are called to
- 3:26Speaker 3: the Banfield home for a stabbing and a shooting around
- 3:31Speaker 3: eight o'clock in the morning. Give or take, I say,
- 3:33Speaker 3: give or take. We'll get into vent a little bit.
- 3:35Speaker 3: There were actually there was more than one call made.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And I'm gonna be honest with you. When there's more
- 3:39Speaker 3: than one nine one one call made from a residence
- 3:41Speaker 3: and you've got dead bodies, somebody didn't have their story straight.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking, yeah, it's one thing.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Hey, look I got to I can I just make
- 3:50Speaker 1: a point here. It's one thing, And I'm glad you
- 3:53Speaker 1: brought this up, because you know, it's one thing if
- 3:55Speaker 1: you're working a case and you've got multiple ear witnesses
- 4:00Speaker 1: or you've got multiple eyewitnesses to say something takes place
- 4:03Speaker 1: in front of a home in view of everyone, or
- 4:08Speaker 1: something of running gun battles going down the street, and yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: you might get multiple nine to one one calls you know,
- 4:15Speaker 1: that are coming in from all these different locations. As
- 4:18Speaker 1: a matter of fact, we could go back and talk
- 4:20Speaker 1: about you know, the surgeon the surgeon case up in Ohio.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Remember how the nine one one operator acted, you know
- 4:26Speaker 1: when they call that thing in and they had multiple
- 4:28Speaker 1: people that the dentist.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Murdy where there were so many family members and coworkers
- 4:34Speaker 3: and friends that didn't couldn't get them on the phone.
- 4:36Speaker 3: So they went to the house and they're calling nine
- 4:38Speaker 3: to one one and the nine one one operators talked
- 4:41Speaker 3: to somebody from there. Cops have already been out there,
- 4:43Speaker 3: leave us basically, leave us alone. But that's not the
- 4:45Speaker 3: case here. Well we have here is we've got a house,
- 4:48Speaker 3: we got a domestic scene where you have a wife
- 4:51Speaker 3: and a husband and their four year old daughter and
- 4:55Speaker 3: they're all pair. Now, the all pair was taking the
- 4:59Speaker 3: four year old somewhere that day, the zoo or whatever
- 5:02Speaker 3: in a.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Planet ruin the National Zoo man.
- 5:04Speaker 3: A planned day trip. And again, Maga Lees is not
- 5:07Speaker 3: from the United States of America. She's in her early
- 5:11Speaker 3: twenties and she's here as an all pair. Now inside
- 5:14Speaker 3: the home, what police find are two bodies and they're
- 5:22Speaker 3: killed differently too. One is shot and the other is stabbed.
- 5:25Speaker 3: But here's a story that they were told. Okay, which
- 5:30Speaker 3: Joe every now and again when a story is told
- 5:33Speaker 3: and it doesn't make sense, you know, and you're thinking,
- 5:39Speaker 3: you're smart enough to be an IRS agent carrying a
- 5:42Speaker 3: gun and a badge, And this is what you came
- 5:45Speaker 3: up with. Where are you spending your time, not in
- 5:48Speaker 3: a library, not watching crime shows? You thought this up
- 5:53Speaker 3: talking to a twenty year old girl, I guess, because
- 5:56Speaker 3: it doesn't. This is not the plan of an adult.
- 6:00Speaker 3: They so they get the police get there and they
- 6:03Speaker 3: find Christine Banfield, the wife of Brendan. She's nude and
- 6:08Speaker 3: she's stabbed multiple times in an upstairs bedroom nearby, they
- 6:12Speaker 3: find a man named Joseph Ryan and he is shot
- 6:16Speaker 3: multiple times. Inside the house at the time of the shooting,
- 6:20Speaker 3: Brendan Banfield along with the family's all pair Julianna Marga Lees,
- 6:25Speaker 3: and the Banfield's four year old daughter. Okay, that's how
- 6:28Speaker 3: many people you got in the house at the same time.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Five people, two are dead. So who did the stabbing,
- 6:34Speaker 3: who did the shooting? That's what Joseph Scott Morgan has
- 6:38Speaker 3: to be able to tell us, because Joe, they didn't
- 6:41Speaker 3: walk out of there in handcuffs with anybody at first.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It took time.
- 6:45Speaker 3: This happened again February twenty fourth, twenty twenty three.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Yeah, let me let me address one more thing too.
- 6:54Speaker 1: In this particular case, you got an IRS agent, specially agent,
- 7:02Speaker 1: and they are living and look granted, I know, okay,
- 7:06Speaker 1: So if you're in federal service and I might be
- 7:09Speaker 1: stepping way outside of my you know of my Baileywick here.
- 7:14Speaker 1: But if you live in a specific area and you're
- 7:19Speaker 1: working for the FEDS and they have assigned you there,
- 7:22Speaker 1: they will provide you with specific funds to kind of
- 7:27Speaker 1: balance out, to kind of balance out, you know, the
- 7:31Speaker 1: downside of being a government employee so that you can live,
- 7:35Speaker 1: you know, in a particular location. But dude, this house
- 7:38Speaker 1: they're living in is worth a million bucks. Now, I
- 7:43Speaker 1: don't know about you. I got a lot of friends
- 7:46Speaker 1: in law enforcement colleagues. I've got people i've taught, I've
- 7:51Speaker 1: got a lot of former students that are federal agents
- 7:54Speaker 1: now literally all over the world. They're working in embassies.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I got guys that are are FBI agents that that
- 8:05Speaker 1: work abroad and all over the country. And to a person,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I don't know of any of them, particularly those that
- 8:14Speaker 1: are still in the field, maybe those that have retired
- 8:17Speaker 1: and have developed, you know, security companies and that sort
- 8:19Speaker 1: of thing. I don't know of any of them that
- 8:21Speaker 1: hold a million dollar crib man, because you know, and
- 8:25Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I'm sitting here and when I
- 8:27Speaker 1: heard that number, I was shocked by it because I
- 8:32Speaker 1: don't know what the actual salary scale is, but you know,
- 8:37Speaker 1: it just seemed that that part of it in and
- 8:40Speaker 1: of itself, I'm thinking, man, how can you afford this? Now?
- 8:42Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Maybe he's a great investor,
- 8:45Speaker 1: maybe they're family money or something like that, but not
- 8:49Speaker 1: only do you have do you have a million dollar home,
- 8:55Speaker 1: You've got an a pair, you know, that's that's that's
- 8:59Speaker 1: something that you know, you're thinking that somebody that lives
- 9:01Speaker 1: in Manhattan, you know, near Central Park, or you know
- 9:06Speaker 1: somebody that's up in I don't know, in Rhode Island
- 9:09Speaker 1: along the coast, or you know, up in Connecticut along
- 9:13Speaker 1: because they've got all pairs but Virginia and you're an
- 9:17Speaker 1: IRS special agent a million bucks. It just it, I
- 9:22Speaker 1: don't know the whole thing. To me, it was just
- 9:25Speaker 1: it was shocking. And again maybe I'm just chasing rabbits,
- 9:27Speaker 1: but it just it seemed a bit off to me.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Well, when you get down to the nitty gritty here
- 9:33Speaker 3: and Joe, I know that because of the scene that
- 9:37Speaker 3: the the death investigator is going to have to really
- 9:42Speaker 3: work hard to put together where the bodies were, you know,
- 9:46Speaker 3: what actually transpired, based on the forensics, what happened. Because
- 9:51Speaker 3: what we have, I can give you the overall story
- 9:54Speaker 3: of what the defense is pulling together, but that's something
- 10:01Speaker 3: that has to be decided based on the forensics. Show
- 10:04Speaker 3: and we're not talking just the blood evidence or just
- 10:06Speaker 3: the gun residue or the knife fingerprints on the knife.
- 10:10Speaker 3: We're actually going to talk a little bit about the
- 10:13Speaker 3: forensic digital evidence, yes, because that comes into play as well.
- 10:18Speaker 3: And during the time that this case was being investigated,
- 10:23Speaker 3: we covered the story right when it happened. I remember
- 10:26Speaker 3: covering it because you had, again the all pair involved
- 10:30Speaker 3: in a story with and you got the pretty girl
- 10:32Speaker 3: watching the four year old, you got the thirty eight
- 10:35Speaker 3: year old wife. But one of the things Joe that
- 10:38Speaker 3: came out of this was very quickly after the death
- 10:41Speaker 3: of his wife. Of when Brendan Banfield's wife is dead,
- 10:47Speaker 3: the all pair moves into the master bedroom and hanks
- 10:54Speaker 3: her clothes in the closet of Brendan Manfield's dead wife.
- 10:59Speaker 3: The all pair takes the position that the wife had
- 11:02Speaker 3: been in. That happened very quickly, and we're talking two
- 11:06Speaker 3: or three months after the deaths occurred. So the story
- 11:10Speaker 3: that they tried to sell to the police was that
- 11:16Speaker 3: Joseph Ryan was on a fetish website and that Missus Banfield,
- 11:25Speaker 3: Christine Banfield, was also on this fetish website. And on
- 11:30Speaker 3: this fetish website she said she wanted to be raped violently.
- 11:37Speaker 3: And I'm sure these types of websites exist. I don't
- 11:43Speaker 3: know that for a fact, I'm telling you that right up.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I do not know that for a fact. I've never
- 11:48Speaker 3: eyeballed one. I've never been on one. I just know
- 11:51Speaker 3: that we've covered stories and they're there. So Joseph Ryan,
- 11:57Speaker 3: thirty nine years old, answers the fetish website, I'll come
- 12:02Speaker 3: and do that.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I will be there to rape you. What time and where?
- 12:06Speaker 3: And so Joseph Ryan shows up to commit this violent
- 12:10Speaker 3: rape against Christine Banfield. And at that time that morning,
- 12:18Speaker 3: the pair was supposed to be with the four year
- 12:19Speaker 3: old head to the zoo. And I'm guessing that Brandan
- 12:25Speaker 3: Maanfield was supposed to be honest way to work.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's the way it went down. And
- 12:31Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to get people to buy into
- 12:33Speaker 1: this idea that this is something that that the wife,
- 12:40Speaker 1: Christine had planned, and because you know, you talk about
- 12:46Speaker 1: something that's I mean, we're talking about going down a
- 12:48Speaker 1: really really dark path here. Brother. You know, an individual,
- 12:54Speaker 1: a mama that is I don't you know, say what
- 13:01Speaker 1: you will about me. I don't put anything past dudes
- 13:04Speaker 1: when it comes to sexual interest or proclivities. And but
- 13:10Speaker 1: when you're talking about a mother that's living in suburban
- 13:15Speaker 1: Virginia like this, and you're trying to sell me on
- 13:20Speaker 1: the idea that she wants this stranger to come in
- 13:26Speaker 1: into her home and into I don't know, I guess
- 13:29Speaker 1: the marriage bedroom and though it's you know, it's I
- 13:35Speaker 1: don't know, role playing, I guess she's asking to be raped,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and Dave, not just raped, but this idea of violence
- 13:43Speaker 1: comes into it. And for me, I think that as
- 13:46Speaker 1: an investigator, you know, when when the investigators would you know,
- 13:51Speaker 1: begin to try to wrap their brain around this and
- 13:53Speaker 1: they're looking at the life that these people lead. You know,
- 13:57Speaker 1: we talk a lot in this world that we're in, Dave,
- 14:01Speaker 1: about victim blaming, don't we You know you hear that
- 14:04Speaker 1: a lot and the old adage that the you know
- 14:07Speaker 1: that the dead can't speak up from himself, and you're right,
- 14:12Speaker 1: how how do you first off, how do you disprove it?
- 14:15Speaker 1: As an investigator? How do you prove it? Because either
- 14:17Speaker 1: way you got to do it, and they would have
- 14:21Speaker 1: spent a tremendous amount of time, uh trying to understand
- 14:25Speaker 1: did she did she have a background in this kind
- 14:29Speaker 1: of fetishized world? You know that people you know that
- 14:35Speaker 1: people in twelve and listen I've worked cases. I've worked
- 14:40Speaker 1: cases at I had one guy I know, in particular
- 14:44Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I'll go and tell a story of he
- 14:50Speaker 1: would go to He would go to what they used
- 14:54Speaker 1: to call lingerie shops in Atlanta. I don't know if
- 14:57Speaker 1: they still exist, and and he would wear and this
- 15:01Speaker 1: guy in particular, he was wearing And the reason I
- 15:06Speaker 1: know why he was wearing this is because I found
- 15:08Speaker 1: out about it when I went to examine his body
- 15:10Speaker 1: at the hospital. He was wearing his wife's underwear when
- 15:15Speaker 1: he rolled in in cardiac arrests from one of these
- 15:18Speaker 1: lingerie shops. And the lingerie shop is not really they'll
- 15:22Speaker 1: sell you lingerie, but you're interacting with the model inside
- 15:26Speaker 1: of the lingerie shop and they put on a show
- 15:29Speaker 1: quote unquote air quotes here for you to model the
- 15:33Speaker 1: underwear that you can purchase.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you have an address in Atlanta.
- 15:37Speaker 1: No, And I would not give it, I hope, because
- 15:42Speaker 1: I had more than one death that came out of
- 15:46Speaker 1: this place, and that's kind of a fetishized thing. But
- 15:49Speaker 1: you know, when we examined him at the because interestingly enough,
- 15:56Speaker 1: I had the in anytime an emergency room, charging her
- 16:00Speaker 1: tells you, and she knew me by name because I'd
- 16:02Speaker 1: worked a lot of cases and that had wound up
- 16:05Speaker 1: at this particular emergency room. She says, this is probably
- 16:09Speaker 1: going to be a natural death, but you need to
- 16:10Speaker 1: come here and see this. And I'm thinking I got
- 16:13Speaker 1: other stuff to do, but she's telling if an eer nurse,
- 16:16Speaker 1: a charged nurse tells you to do that. So I
- 16:19Speaker 1: go to the emergency room and she takes me back
- 16:22Speaker 1: into the exam room where this guy has died and
- 16:24Speaker 1: he's purple. From the Nippo line up, you can tell
- 16:27Speaker 1: he's in congested failure. But she said, come over here,
- 16:31Speaker 1: look at this, and she pulls back the sheet and
- 16:33Speaker 1: sure enough, he is wearing what turned out to be
- 16:37Speaker 1: two pair of his wife's underwear panties, if you will,
- 16:41Speaker 1: And then she pulls them back right, pulls them back
- 16:46Speaker 1: and down beneath his equipment. You could see two white
- 16:52Speaker 1: strings hanging out of his rear end. And he had taken,
- 16:56Speaker 1: let me see, how can I put this politely? Two
- 16:58Speaker 1: of his wives in products and inserted them and I'll
- 17:03Speaker 1: never forget. We went back and this girl that he
- 17:05Speaker 1: was in the room with at the lingerie shop said
- 17:11Speaker 1: he was doing his thing. I was taking my clothes off,
- 17:15Speaker 1: and he was, you know, stimulating himself, and he suddenly
- 17:20Speaker 1: turned purple and started vomiting and he had heart attack
- 17:24Speaker 1: right there. And she was Russian. I'll never forget that.
- 17:28Speaker 1: And you know, through broken English, you know she's telling
- 17:30Speaker 1: she's terrified, you know, because she thinks that the cops
- 17:32Speaker 1: are going to arrest he or whatever.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Said Russian. I thought, you miss she was hurrying.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, no, no, she was not rushing. She
- 17:39Speaker 1: was Russian. And so yeah, it runs a gamut. I
- 17:44Speaker 1: could tell you stories right now about people that I've
- 17:47Speaker 1: worked cases where people were involved in fetishism that have
- 17:51Speaker 1: in fact died in the midst and some of these
- 17:53Speaker 1: things dave turned very very violent. I've worked cases where
- 17:58Speaker 1: people have been strangled many times and the intent was
- 18:02Speaker 1: not there to bring about death. And this goes back
- 18:05Speaker 1: to this level of violence. We've got a suburban housewife
- 18:09Speaker 1: who I don't want to say housewife, but certainly a
- 18:14Speaker 1: suburban mother and wife who is signing up for a
- 18:20Speaker 1: fetish website where she's asked to be violently raped by
- 18:26Speaker 1: somebody because she's living out a fantasy. I mean, I
- 18:30Speaker 1: don't know, call me old fashioned, but I got to
- 18:33Speaker 1: tell you, but from an investigative standpoint, this scene stunk
- 18:38Speaker 1: to high heaven. As an investigator, when you walk onto
- 18:56Speaker 1: a scene, there are some things that are very benign,
- 19:00Speaker 1: and you have to be very careful with that because
- 19:02Speaker 1: sometimes the benign things are the ones that actually trip
- 19:06Speaker 1: you up. But there are those times when you walk
- 19:09Speaker 1: onto a scene and there has been a blood bath
- 19:12Speaker 1: that has occurred there, you know that you've entered into
- 19:15Speaker 1: another level as an investigator, that it's going to make
- 19:21Speaker 1: this very complicated as far as trying to piece everything together.
- 19:27Speaker 1: And Dave, I would imagine that in this environment when
- 19:30Speaker 1: investigators walked into that room, they actually began to appreciate
- 19:36Speaker 1: that they had a lot of blood evidence. You know
- 19:41Speaker 1: that there has been gunplay involved. And I think another
- 19:44Speaker 1: thing also, and you and I have talked about this extensively,
- 19:47Speaker 1: sharp force injury is involved here, and so that even
- 19:50Speaker 1: makes it more complex, particularly when you're at a scene.
- 19:53Speaker 1: I'm I'm talking about being back at the Morgue, but
- 19:55Speaker 1: when you're at a scene and you're trying to do
- 19:57Speaker 1: an injury assessment, because blood begins to crust, it will
- 20:03Speaker 1: crust and it will. It will actually hide injuries that
- 20:08Speaker 1: you can't that you can't appreciate. And here's the one
- 20:10Speaker 1: thing that you cannot do. It a scene involving really bloody.
- 20:13Speaker 1: You don't go grab a rag. You don't grab a rag,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you don't bring out a sponge, you don't clean the
- 20:19Speaker 1: body there. You make note of what you can see there,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and then hopefully, hopefully, when you get them back to
- 20:28Speaker 1: the mork and you begin to clean up after the
- 20:31Speaker 1: photographic documentation, things will you know, come to light. But
- 20:36Speaker 1: there was so much blood here that it would have
- 20:39Speaker 1: been really really hard to completely interpret things to its
- 20:42Speaker 1: fullest extent.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you about that, because when when
- 20:47Speaker 3: you have a scene that is like this, that is
- 20:49Speaker 3: a mess, and do do you listen to police? Do
- 20:53Speaker 3: they come and say, hey, this is what they're telling
- 20:56Speaker 3: us happened. Or do you come in blindfolded and say
- 20:59Speaker 3: everybody quiet, let me let me see what I see
- 21:03Speaker 3: and then all your stories.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's uh. There's this kind of bleedover that
- 21:08Speaker 1: takes place no pun intended. And when I say bleed over,
- 21:11Speaker 1: I mean this is something that that we in my
- 21:16Speaker 1: field have to have to work through because when you
- 21:22Speaker 1: arrive as a medical legal death investigator, and to a
- 21:25Speaker 1: certain extent as a homicide detective, you will have had
- 21:29Speaker 1: e mts. You will have had first responding police officers
- 21:32Speaker 1: that are there and they are saying, there's a lot
- 21:35Speaker 1: of blood. Uh, these people are really banged up, really bad.
- 21:39Speaker 1: And so that's that's kind of influencing. That's kind of
- 21:43Speaker 1: influencing what your perspective on a case is, and you
- 21:47Speaker 1: have to be very careful. Uh. You know, I think
- 21:50Speaker 1: that a lot of it circles back to what I'd
- 21:52Speaker 1: said about Tom Nogucci, you know, a year or so ago,
- 21:56Speaker 1: when I first talked about him looking at the ceiling
- 21:58Speaker 1: in cases, and yeah, it's my preference has always been,
- 22:04Speaker 1: please don't talk to me. And I'm not rude to anybody,
- 22:07Speaker 1: but please don't talk to me. Just let me know
- 22:09Speaker 1: that there's dead bodies in the room. Let me make
- 22:11Speaker 1: my own assessment, because at that point in time, my
- 22:14Speaker 1: mind is still kind of in a pristine state where
- 22:17Speaker 1: it's unaffected by whatever kind of static is coming in.
- 22:21Speaker 1: It might be valid stuff that they're trying to tell me. Now,
- 22:24Speaker 1: if there's wappings about there, loaded and I'm in danger, yeah,
- 22:27Speaker 1: I want to know that if there's a dog in
- 22:28Speaker 1: the house that might bite me. Yeah, I want to
- 22:30Speaker 1: know that. But I just want to know the basics
- 22:34Speaker 1: so that I'm not colored anyway when I'm going to
- 22:37Speaker 1: do an examination.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Okay, Now in this case, you have to wonder how
- 22:45Speaker 3: did it end up where You've got Joseph Bryan in
- 22:49Speaker 3: the house and Brendan Banfield gone to work. All pair
- 22:58Speaker 3: off with the four year old to the zoo, but
- 23:00Speaker 3: they all ended up back in the house. Here's what
- 23:03Speaker 3: happened according to the initial story told by the all Pair.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Because I do want you to know something. Brendan Bamfield
- 23:13Speaker 3: did not talk to police. I don't know what that
- 23:16Speaker 3: means to anybody. I know what it means to me,
- 23:19Speaker 3: But Brendan Manfield did not talk to police. They had
- 23:21Speaker 3: to put this together based on what they were getting
- 23:23Speaker 3: from Juliana Perez Magalise the all Pair. Now what happened
- 23:30Speaker 3: is Banfield is on his way to work, Magalese has
- 23:33Speaker 3: their four year old and is headed the Banfield's four
- 23:36Speaker 3: year old daughter heading to the zoo, and she says
- 23:39Speaker 3: Magalese said she saw Joseph Ryan, thirty nine years old,
- 23:44Speaker 3: going into the home. Now, Christine Banfield is supposedly at
- 23:49Speaker 3: the home by herself, and when Magales sees this man
- 23:53Speaker 3: going into the home instead of driving to the zoo
- 23:57Speaker 3: with the child, she calls Brendan Banfield, the irs agent,
- 24:01Speaker 3: with a gun and a badge and says, hey, I
- 24:03Speaker 3: just saw a guy go in your home, and so
- 24:06Speaker 3: Bramfield goes back to the house. Margales comes back to
- 24:10Speaker 3: the home with the four year old and that's why
- 24:13Speaker 3: they were all at the house at the same time.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Part one, Part two. Banfield says to Margalise, you take
- 24:21Speaker 3: the little girl over there, put her, you know, get
- 24:23Speaker 3: her away from all this. Now upstairs in the bedroom,
- 24:27Speaker 3: you've got Christine Banfield and you've got Joseph Ryan. According
- 24:31Speaker 3: to the story that is told is that Christine Banfield
- 24:37Speaker 3: was being stabbed in the neck by Joseph Ryan, so
- 24:42Speaker 3: gun in a badge. Brendan Bamfield shoots him and begins
- 24:48Speaker 3: to try to help his wife, but there's too much blood.
- 24:51Speaker 3: He's compressing it and doing this and that Margalse comes
- 24:55Speaker 3: up after hearing the gunshot, and she then shoots Ryan
- 24:59Speaker 3: because he's not dead. So there's two gunshot wounds to
- 25:04Speaker 3: Joseph Ryan. Now he's dead. The nine one one call.
- 25:09Speaker 3: I want to go very carefully here because it's important.
- 25:12Speaker 3: There are two nine one one calls made from the house.
- 25:16Speaker 3: The first one is a seven forty five am, but
- 25:18Speaker 3: quickly disconnected. Think about this for a minute.
- 25:23Speaker 1: You have.
- 25:25Speaker 3: A man who's been shot dead, a woman who's been
- 25:29Speaker 3: stabbed and is bleeding, and you call nine one one
- 25:32Speaker 3: and hang up. What it's fifteen minutes later before they
- 25:38Speaker 3: get another nine one one called Joe, and that's the
- 25:42Speaker 3: one that was made by Magalise. The all pair after
- 25:48Speaker 3: that call connected with nine one one. She gave the
- 25:50Speaker 3: phone to a man, Brendan Banfield, who tells police, tells
- 25:54Speaker 3: nine one one brother, He tells nine one one he
- 25:56Speaker 3: shot a man who was stabbing his wife. That's the
- 26:00Speaker 3: story we got from Brendan Banfield. I say we because
- 26:03Speaker 3: he didn't talk to police. Police arrive on the scene.
- 26:06Speaker 3: They find Joseph Nathan Ryan, thirty nine years old, dead
- 26:09Speaker 3: from a gunshot wound. They find Christine Banfield thirty seven
- 26:13Speaker 3: stab wounds. She is transported to the hospital alive, but
- 26:17Speaker 3: she dies once she gets there. Brendan Banfield, Christine's husband,
- 26:22Speaker 3: refuses to talk to police. He does talk to a
- 26:28Speaker 3: I'm guessing a doctor at the hospital who is telling
- 26:31Speaker 3: him his wife passed, you know, and it was caught
- 26:34Speaker 3: on or overheard by police, but basically saying, you know,
- 26:41Speaker 3: he knew how much blood had been gone. You know,
- 26:43Speaker 3: it was obviously she wasn't going to survive this attack.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there was even a conversation that
- 26:49Speaker 1: took place where, you know that the doctor talked about
- 26:53Speaker 1: that this was unsurvivable. You know that that these these
- 26:59Speaker 1: injuries were so egregious where you're going to have multiple
- 27:04Speaker 1: defects in the body. You know, one gunshot wound or
- 27:08Speaker 1: one stab wound is one thing, you know, And for
- 27:11Speaker 1: those of you that have ever been through any kind
- 27:13Speaker 1: of first aid class and you've got people that are bleeding,
- 27:18Speaker 1: what's the thing that they teach you, Well, you're going
- 27:21Speaker 1: to apply direct pressure, right, and with so much internal
- 27:25Speaker 1: damage And remember when I say internal damage, if you've
- 27:29Speaker 1: got multiple gunshot woes, you've got a stab woon, you've
- 27:34Speaker 1: got multiple tracks that are running through the body, Dave.
- 27:38Speaker 1: And so for every one of those tracks, you're clipping
- 27:42Speaker 1: all manner. And I'm not even talking about organ damage here.
- 27:45Speaker 1: I'm just merely right now, just talking about talking about
- 27:49Speaker 1: the vessels, You've got multiple vessels that are that are
- 27:54Speaker 1: compromised and literally ripped to shreds and destroyed. And so
- 28:00Speaker 1: when you walk through it and you begin to understand
- 28:04Speaker 1: you're not an octopus. You know, you don't have enough
- 28:07Speaker 1: hands to place on top of all to do compression
- 28:11Speaker 1: or to apply pressure rather, and then you've got the
- 28:15Speaker 1: added the added piece to this where you know, if
- 28:21Speaker 1: she if they rolled her to the hospital, I'd be
- 28:23Speaker 1: very interested to know did she have like some kind
- 28:27Speaker 1: of faint pulse agonal respirations. My suspicion is probably no,
- 28:33Speaker 1: but she was probably pretty warm to the touch. She
- 28:37Speaker 1: may not have died immediately, but she's slipping off into
- 28:41Speaker 1: the slipping off into the darkness. So they rolled her
- 28:44Speaker 1: from there. And you know, this is another thing too
- 28:47Speaker 1: that I know that you and I have discussed extensively.
- 28:51Speaker 1: If you have an individual that is removed from scene,
- 28:56Speaker 1: and look, they have to remove them from scene, right
- 28:58Speaker 1: because this is a life saving measure. But when you
- 29:02Speaker 1: have an individual that is removed from the scene, suddenly
- 29:05Speaker 1: your context is gone as an investigator. There is not
- 29:08Speaker 1: a body or you're absent at least one body in
- 29:10Speaker 1: this case to examine and kind of contextualize the scene,
- 29:14Speaker 1: because one of the things that we look at is relationship.
- 29:17Speaker 1: And we're talking about Remember we're going back to violent rape,
- 29:20Speaker 1: remember right, So we're talking about proximity of bodies. We're
- 29:25Speaker 1: also talking about evidence of potentially some type of sexual assault,
- 29:31Speaker 1: because that's what's being implied, right that, you know, that's
- 29:34Speaker 1: the heart of this thing. And all of a sudden,
- 29:39Speaker 1: from an evidentiary standpoint, things ain't ain't the way that
- 29:43Speaker 1: they were initially. They weren't pristine in that pristine state,
- 29:46Speaker 1: so that when the investigators arrive after the fact, they've
- 29:50Speaker 1: got a lot of questions. And here's one other thing
- 29:53Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring, you know, kind of bring
- 29:55Speaker 1: into frame. Here. You've a fellow and we've talked, we've
- 30:02Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about, or have mentioned at least
- 30:05Speaker 1: a couple of times, that he is a gun totor.
- 30:08Speaker 1: And when you have a gun totor, you can have
- 30:10Speaker 1: an agent say, for instance, it works for one of
- 30:13Speaker 1: these three letter agencies. And when I say that, folks
- 30:16Speaker 1: might not know this, but did you know that almost
- 30:19Speaker 1: every single federal agency out there has some kind of
- 30:22Speaker 1: law enforcement wing. And there's been a lot of hate
- 30:25Speaker 1: that's been made over the last few years. You remember
- 30:27Speaker 1: when they I don't know if you recall this, but
- 30:30Speaker 1: when they had that budget thing that came out a
- 30:33Speaker 1: few years ago where the IRS was arming up. You know,
- 30:36Speaker 1: they were going to arm them with all of you know,
- 30:38Speaker 1: with all kinds of weapons. Okay, So he he is,
- 30:42Speaker 1: in fact a fellow law enforcement officer. And no, he's
- 30:47Speaker 1: an IRS special agent. Don't don't think that this guy
- 30:53Speaker 1: doesn't know anything about crime scenes, because he does. And
- 30:57Speaker 1: let me tell you how this kind of works with
- 30:58Speaker 1: the FEDS will send their future law enforcement investigators down
- 31:04Speaker 1: to a place called glen Coe, Georgia. They have their
- 31:07Speaker 1: own academy. It's a basic law enforcement academy that they
- 31:10Speaker 1: go through, Okay, and it's like multiple agents. You might
- 31:15Speaker 1: be you might be in a class down there with
- 31:19Speaker 1: people from the Forest Service or the US Park Service.
- 31:23Speaker 1: You might have people that work for the FDA, all right.
- 31:26Speaker 1: You might have people that work for the Federal Drug
- 31:30Speaker 1: Drug Administration and I'm not talking about the DA. Everybody
- 31:34Speaker 1: the Department of Energy, you know, and they might be
- 31:37Speaker 1: going through a basic law enforcement academy and then at
- 31:41Speaker 1: the end or the completion of that, they will then
- 31:43Speaker 1: go to the IRS academy as kind of an add
- 31:47Speaker 1: on this is what we do, this is how so
- 31:49Speaker 1: he he would understand the basics of how to process
- 31:53Speaker 1: a crime. Sayne, he doesn't sit around, you know, the
- 31:55Speaker 1: old what's the thing the advisor? That account is where
- 32:00Speaker 1: the green visor? You know, And he's got his gun
- 32:03Speaker 1: sitting on his desk and he's running numbers on charts
- 32:05Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing. That ain't the way
- 32:07Speaker 1: this is this guy, this guy's cop okay at And
- 32:11Speaker 1: the fact that he would not engage in conversation with
- 32:16Speaker 1: police officers who, by the way, are trying to determine
- 32:20Speaker 1: what happened to a fellow law enforcement officer's wife in
- 32:25Speaker 1: their own home is rather odd. Uh from the beginning.
- 32:31Speaker 1: And again this goes back. You know, we talked about
- 32:33Speaker 1: the violent, the violent sexual part of this that they
- 32:37Speaker 1: alleged that she was asking for. I hate say that
- 32:40Speaker 1: sounds horrible, but that's what they're implying. And then there's
- 32:46Speaker 1: gun play involved, and he won't he won't sit down
- 32:49Speaker 1: and try to help them try to understand what happened. Uh.
- 32:53Speaker 1: And you know, maybe he's he's falling back on a
- 32:56Speaker 1: on an excuse that well, you know, I pulled my
- 32:59Speaker 1: weapon and I fired it, so therefore I can be
- 33:02Speaker 1: implicated this thing. But I don't know, Dave. I got
- 33:06Speaker 1: to tell you, brother, I think that there's at least
- 33:09Speaker 1: I think from the police standpoint, they probably have a
- 33:12Speaker 1: hent at this point in time, there's a much more
- 33:15Speaker 1: sinister underpinning here. I gotta tell you That's just my
- 33:18Speaker 1: thought on it, Dave. This is so very complex as
- 33:34Speaker 1: far as the scene goes. Can you kind of break
- 33:36Speaker 1: this down into the nuts and bolts of it so
- 33:38Speaker 1: that we can kind of begin to understand the dynamic
- 33:41Speaker 1: here and we'll kind of walk through this very carefully.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Well, you know, when we looked at it earlier, we
- 33:45Speaker 3: were talking about how the all pair calls Brendan Bamfield
- 33:51Speaker 3: saying I just saw a guy go in the house.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Bamfield comes back to the house, so does the all
- 33:56Speaker 3: Pair with their four year old daughter. He Field goes
- 34:00Speaker 3: up and sees Joseph Ryan stabbing his wife Christine in
- 34:04Speaker 3: the neck. Banfield shoots Joseph Ryan, he doesn't kill him.
- 34:08Speaker 3: This is where the alpair then goes to a safe
- 34:11Speaker 3: in the house, retrieves another gun, comes upstairs, and she
- 34:15Speaker 3: shoots Joseph Ryan in the heart, killing him. Meanwhile, according
- 34:20Speaker 3: to Banfield, he's trying to stop the bleeding on Christine,
- 34:23Speaker 3: his wife, but she's stabbed in her neck. There's no
- 34:26Speaker 3: place to compress. And that's the discussion that is heard
- 34:29Speaker 3: from the doctor on the body cam from the police
- 34:32Speaker 3: officer at the hospital when he tells Brendan Manfield, your
- 34:35Speaker 3: wife is dead. She's lost too much blood. There was
- 34:38Speaker 3: no way and he was He says, I was trying
- 34:40Speaker 3: to get it to stop, but and the doctor says
- 34:42Speaker 3: there's no place on the neck to make it stop.
- 34:44Speaker 3: So police begin the investigation based on this housewife, this mother,
- 34:51Speaker 3: and why was Joseph Ryan in the house.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Who is this guy?
- 34:54Speaker 3: So they're doing the digital forensics on the phones, the computers,
- 34:57Speaker 3: they're looking up all of this stuff. They find out
- 35:00Speaker 3: pretty quickly a number of things. Joe the chief investigator,
- 35:05Speaker 3: and all of the chief of Police brother Chief Davis
- 35:08Speaker 3: said that investigators early on found digital evidence, physical evidence,
- 35:13Speaker 3: forensic evidence, and circumstantial evidence that it appeared to them
- 35:17Speaker 3: that Banfield and Perez Mogolies, the husband of the deceased
- 35:23Speaker 3: wife and the all pair who's only twenty two years
- 35:26Speaker 3: old at the time, that they were involved in a
- 35:29Speaker 3: sexual relationship, and that Brendan Banfield actually had Perez Mogolies
- 35:39Speaker 3: swapping out their phones for new ones, new phones in
- 35:43Speaker 3: the days before the attack. In the days before his
- 35:47Speaker 3: wife is killed by this unknown assailant, he swaps out
- 35:51Speaker 3: phones to hide evidence. I mean, that's all they're thinking.
- 35:57Speaker 3: They find out that Brendan Banfield took the all to
- 36:00Speaker 3: a gun range before his wife was killed. A glock
- 36:03Speaker 3: that he was used to shoot Joseph Ryan was purchased
- 36:06Speaker 3: on a trip to the shooting range. Brendan Bamfield Empress
- 36:10Speaker 3: Magalise said Christine Bamfield summoned Joseph Ryan to her home
- 36:16Speaker 3: through a website for sexual bondage. Brendan Bamfield shot Joseph
- 36:20Speaker 3: Ryan in the head, wounding but not killing him. Julian
- 36:23Speaker 3: and Perez Magalies got a gun from a safe shot
- 36:25Speaker 3: Ryan in the heart, killing him. Brendan Bamfield and Perez
- 36:27Speaker 3: Maglese began the relationship months before the deaths occurred. Bamfield
- 36:32Speaker 3: Empress Magali's relationship continued after the deaths. And in the
- 36:37Speaker 3: months following the death of his wife, the mother of
- 36:42Speaker 3: his four year old daughter, he moves in the alpair
- 36:46Speaker 3: Perez Maghales clothing is hanging in the Banfield closet, not
- 36:52Speaker 3: Christine Bamfield's clothing. You know, Joe, my wife died eleven
- 36:56Speaker 3: months ago. Our clothes are still in the closet. Oh Lord,
- 36:58Speaker 3: I can't get him out.
- 37:01Speaker 1: God bless you. Man.
- 37:02Speaker 3: And I saw this and my first thought was, you scumbag.
- 37:05Speaker 3: You're carrying a gun and a badge, working with the
- 37:07Speaker 3: I R S. And you won't talk to cops. That's
- 37:10Speaker 3: a big problem for me. I by the way, I
- 37:13Speaker 3: am the guy who says, don't ever talk to cops. Yeah, ever,
- 37:16Speaker 3: because you're even if you didn't do anything, they're good.
- 37:20Speaker 3: If they think you did, you're gonna be found dead.
- 37:22Speaker 3: You're going to be found that as the guilty guy.
- 37:25Speaker 3: So I don't ever talk to cops. But you carry
- 37:27Speaker 3: a gun and a badge, Joe, I think your duty
- 37:30Speaker 3: bound to talk to cops.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think so, you know, And even you know,
- 37:35Speaker 1: even if you're you know, you're not tasked as an
- 37:38Speaker 1: I r S Special Agent to investigate local homicides or
- 37:41Speaker 1: desks and that sort of thing. It's still you're you're
- 37:44Speaker 1: under that you're in that family. Okay, But here's here's
- 37:47Speaker 1: the interesting thing. You know I R S agents, Uh,
- 37:52Speaker 1: they typically carry the weapon that they learned to train
- 37:55Speaker 1: on when they went through the academy. And I R
- 37:58Speaker 1: S agents actually do carry glocks. Okay, so this is
- 38:02Speaker 1: a weapon he would have been familiar with.
- 38:04Speaker 2: I find I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Yeah, so I find it very interesting, very interesting. As
- 38:12Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I think that they carry glock,
- 38:19Speaker 1: maybe glock twenty six like fifth Gen. What's interesting, though,
- 38:26Speaker 1: is that let's just say, let's just say that he's
- 38:30Speaker 1: carrying that same frame okay, that same frame of weapon
- 38:35Speaker 1: or platform of weapon, and he goes out with the
- 38:39Speaker 1: which he did. By the way, you had just mentioned
- 38:41Speaker 1: they had gone out to this shooting range so that
- 38:48Speaker 1: she could she could practice shooting, which is something that
- 38:52Speaker 1: had never occurred before. And this is dude, this is
- 38:55Speaker 1: within days, this event taking place. But did you know
- 38:58Speaker 1: that even the but it might be the same weapon platform,
- 39:03Speaker 1: it don't matter because both of those weapons, the ballistics
- 39:10Speaker 1: on both of those weapons are going to be distinctly different,
- 39:14Speaker 1: and so I find that interesting. And it's something else
- 39:17Speaker 1: when you begin to think about Joseph Ryan, who is
- 39:21Speaker 1: laid there, he shot, the wife is stabbed. Any kind
- 39:25Speaker 1: of round that they take from either the body or
- 39:30Speaker 1: the scene, the striations on those bullets are going to
- 39:34Speaker 1: be distinctly different. Let's just say, okay, and i'll give
- 39:36Speaker 1: you for instance, if you are a law enforcement officer,
- 39:39Speaker 1: and I don't care where you're working, you have to
- 39:41Speaker 1: go to the range and qualify many times. You'll have
- 39:45Speaker 1: qualified a couple of times a year, all right, So
- 39:48Speaker 1: every time you fire that weapon, changes occur within that
- 39:53Speaker 1: barrel and you'll get little nicks and things. It's not
- 39:57Speaker 1: just the rifling inside of the barrel that transfers into
- 40:01Speaker 1: the striations on the projectile itself. More use you have
- 40:06Speaker 1: of a weapon, the more distinctive it makes it. Okay,
- 40:09Speaker 1: even if it's the same caliber the same platform, that
- 40:13Speaker 1: weapon is going to look different than say this brand
- 40:16Speaker 1: new one that was just purchased, which was actually utilized here.
- 40:19Speaker 1: So you're going to have two different weapons. And look,
- 40:23Speaker 1: you've got both of them, you know, admitting to the
- 40:25Speaker 1: fact that both these weapons were fired. So you'll have
- 40:29Speaker 1: two weapons to examine. The two weapons that are going
- 40:33Speaker 1: to go to the stabilistics lab to be viewed. The
- 40:36Speaker 1: question is this you go into great detail with shooters,
- 40:43Speaker 1: with you know, people that have shot individuals. If they're
- 40:46Speaker 1: going to talk, they're going to be asked specific questions.
- 40:49Speaker 1: What position was this individual when you engage them with
- 40:54Speaker 1: your weapon to begin with? Where they standing, were they kneeling,
- 40:57Speaker 1: Were you behind them or you in front of them,
- 40:59Speaker 1: or you to the side of them. Okay, And so
- 41:03Speaker 1: that's going to make a big difference here as to relationship.
- 41:07Speaker 1: And then with Christine being pulled out of the environment,
- 41:11Speaker 1: you know, having gone to having gone to the hospital
- 41:15Speaker 1: to be treated for the sharp force injuries, you know,
- 41:18Speaker 1: to no avail. Of course, that could in and of
- 41:23Speaker 1: self change the dynamic. But I want to go back
- 41:26Speaker 1: to to this this thing with the digital forensics here
- 41:32Speaker 1: because again in this case, just like so many others
- 41:35Speaker 1: that that we've covered, you know, over these years, you
- 41:40Speaker 1: you actually have someone kind of laying out with these
- 41:44Speaker 1: digital breadcrumbs of what they're doing. And I think that
- 41:48Speaker 1: in the midst of these things, people they don't think
- 41:50Speaker 1: about how this looks right. And so if you're creating something.
- 41:54Speaker 1: It's very interesting that you know she would have she
- 41:57Speaker 1: did this hang up, right, she did this hang up
- 42:00Speaker 1: on the nine one one call and then Dave there
- 42:04Speaker 1: there is bodycam footage too, would sound correct.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you know, going back to the hang up call,
- 42:13Speaker 3: you know she said that this is what Maga Leese
- 42:16Speaker 3: said at the time, the reason she hung up the
- 42:19Speaker 3: phone that when they got into the house. To back
- 42:22Speaker 3: up little timetable here, when Magales left with the four
- 42:26Speaker 3: year old to go to the zoo, she's pulling away
- 42:29Speaker 3: and she forgot their homemade lunches that they were supposed
- 42:31Speaker 3: to take. And when she turns around to go back
- 42:34Speaker 3: to the house to pick up the sandwiches, she sees
- 42:36Speaker 3: Ryan going in the home. That's when she ostensibly calls Banfield,
- 42:40Speaker 3: who's at a local McDonald's on his way to work.
- 42:43Speaker 3: Bamfield turns around and comes back to the house. He
- 42:46Speaker 3: and Magales meet at the house and walk into the
- 42:48Speaker 3: house together. Bamfield says, take the four year old and
- 42:51Speaker 3: go downstairs into the basement, and he goes upstairs. Bamfield
- 42:54Speaker 3: goes upstairs and you know she's Ryan. Well, that's where
- 42:59Speaker 3: the hang up call had happened. Magaali says, at seven
- 43:02Speaker 3: forty seven, she was in the basement calling nine one
- 43:04Speaker 3: one and realized she didn't know what to tell them
- 43:06Speaker 3: because see, the only thing she knows, Joe, is what
- 43:09Speaker 3: really happened. She doesn't know the story that needs to
- 43:14Speaker 3: be told. Remember English is not her first language. She's
- 43:19Speaker 3: twenty two from Brazil. She's an off pair and that's
- 43:23Speaker 3: why she hangs up. And that's why there's fifteen minutes
- 43:25Speaker 3: in between. You got to get the story straight. Now,
- 43:29Speaker 3: backing up a minute, because we have the story of
- 43:32Speaker 3: the fetish website. The thing is, the evidence shows that
- 43:39Speaker 3: Christine Banfield's laptop was used in setting up the account,
- 43:45Speaker 3: the profile on this fetish website where she, according to
- 43:51Speaker 3: records on this website, reached out wanted somebody to violently
- 43:55Speaker 3: rape her. That's what her fetish was, to be violently
- 43:57Speaker 3: raped in her home, and that she arranged everything, and
- 44:01Speaker 3: that she even bought the tickets for Magalise to take
- 44:04Speaker 3: the four year old to the zoo that day they
- 44:06Speaker 3: would be gone. See, she knew what time her husband
- 44:08Speaker 3: was leaving to go to work. She knew at times
- 44:10Speaker 3: she'd get the all pair out with the four year
- 44:12Speaker 3: old and the home would be open for her to
- 44:13Speaker 3: be violently raped by a guy she didn't know that
- 44:16Speaker 3: she met on this fetish website. Now part of this
- 44:21Speaker 3: back and forth, you know it took over a year, Joe.
- 44:24Speaker 3: You mentioned this happened in February of twenty twenty three.
- 44:27Speaker 3: It was a year and a half before and arrest,
- 44:29Speaker 3: before anything was done, before an arrest was made, and
- 44:33Speaker 3: then their rest did come down. Well, when the indictments
- 44:38Speaker 3: were handed down charging Brandon Manfield with what had happened
- 44:45Speaker 3: and Magalise, it only took three weeks for the.
- 44:48Speaker 2: All pair to cut a deal.
- 44:51Speaker 3: The deal was because right if the indictment was handed down, Joe,
- 44:56Speaker 3: do you know if Brendan Bamfield's defense attorney wanted very
- 44:59Speaker 3: first thing, everything the all pair said to police from
- 45:04Speaker 3: the time this happened untill the time we wanted inadmissible.
- 45:08Speaker 3: She knows the English is not her first language. She
- 45:10Speaker 3: didn't know what everything, so everything she said, you can't use.
- 45:15Speaker 3: And when that didn't happen, she copped a deal and
- 45:18Speaker 3: has admitted now because that depends were saying, well, see,
- 45:21Speaker 3: Christine just had this really dark side. She really wanted
- 45:24Speaker 3: this and you know, hey, Brandon Banfield, he's a hero.
- 45:27Speaker 3: You know, he tried to save his wife's life. This
- 45:29Speaker 3: guy was killing her. He took it too far, you know,
- 45:31Speaker 3: the whole crazy thing. But at trial, you know, this
- 45:35Speaker 3: is ongoing, but that the all pair said she created it,
- 45:40Speaker 3: that they created the profile.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Now that's almost I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is Bodybacks.
