- 1:39Speaker 1: kidnap case of Jamie Claus and the murder of both
- 1:42Speaker 1: of her parents. Listen. Michelle Stafford is friends with the
- 1:45Speaker 1: Claus family. She says since coming home, Jamie has spent
- 1:49Speaker 1: time with loved ones and in therapy. Every single person
- 1:52Speaker 1: I talked to just wants Jamie to heal and be
- 1:55Speaker 1: able to move forward with her life. Do you feel
- 1:57Speaker 1: like that's happening. I do. I don't think any of
- 2:00Speaker 1: us can really know what she's going through, but I
- 2:05Speaker 1: think that if she has to be with a group
- 2:06Speaker 1: of people that will love her and support her for
- 2:08Speaker 1: the rest of her life, She's in the perfect family
- 2:12Speaker 1: to do that. This week, the Class family released this
- 2:14Speaker 1: picture of the thirteen year old enjoying a stake dinner
- 2:18Speaker 1: with her grandfather. Today, Jamie's alleged kidnapper, twenty one year
- 2:21Speaker 1: old Jake Patterson, will face a judge in person for
- 2:25Speaker 1: the first time. We've never talked about him or any
- 2:28Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff, and I hope we never
- 2:30Speaker 1: have to. Investigators revealed last week they had obtained call logs,
- 2:34Speaker 1: photos and videos from Patterson's cell phone, which was in
- 2:37Speaker 1: the front seat of his car when he was arrested.
- 2:40Speaker 1: According to the criminal complaint, Patterson shot and killed Jamie's
- 2:44Speaker 1: parents in October as they try to protect her. He
- 2:47Speaker 1: allegedly confessed to targeting the teenager after seeing her getting
- 2:51Speaker 1: on a school bus. He's accused of holding her captive
- 2:54Speaker 1: in his house until she broke free nearly three months later.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Charlie Glenn and Richard Jones are Patterson's public defenders. When
- 3:01Speaker 1: you have a confession like this, how much harter is
- 3:04Speaker 1: your case? Well, these cases, by their nature are very,
- 3:06Speaker 1: very difficult cases. We have responsibility to review everything. We
- 3:09Speaker 1: have to conduct our own investigation. Stafford says, no matter
- 3:12Speaker 1: what happens with the suspect, Jamie will be okay. I
- 3:15Speaker 1: have no doubt that she's going to make it. I
- 3:17Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind at all. Strong little
- 3:20Speaker 1: fighter she is. The CBS reporter Jamie Yucas talking to
- 3:24Speaker 1: a friend of Jamie class this as her alleged kidnapper
- 3:29Speaker 1: and the murderer of both of her parents. Do you
- 3:34Speaker 1: in court? Straight out to Dave Mac, syndicated talk show
- 3:38Speaker 1: host joining us, Dave Mac, why is this guy? Jake Patterson.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Do you in court, what's the purpose of his court
- 3:46Speaker 1: hearing today? It's a preliminary hearing, Nancy. They'll actually present
- 3:50Speaker 1: evidence from both sides. But again, he has already confessed.
- 3:53Speaker 1: He's already given a complete statement to the police. That's
- 3:55Speaker 1: how we know all the information we already know. Man,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Dan Horror, what's California defense attorney? If
- 4:01Speaker 1: I were the defense attorney, I would waive that hearing
- 4:05Speaker 1: yesterday because a grand jury can indict him without a
- 4:09Speaker 1: preliminary hearing. All this is going to do is to
- 4:11Speaker 1: make public more incendiary evidence against the perp, the alleged perp,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and all they have to do is waive it and
- 4:21Speaker 1: take the grandjury indictment. His big problem is getting killed
- 4:25Speaker 1: in prison. I mean, this guy is the number one
- 4:27Speaker 1: target of every prisoner in the system. He's going to
- 4:31Speaker 1: have to be selled to loan, kept in isolation. The
- 4:35Speaker 1: good thing about this guy, he'll be tortured by loneliness
- 4:39Speaker 1: all the time that he languishes in prison. They'll give
- 4:42Speaker 1: him the death penalty, maybe in thirty years, which doesn't
- 4:44Speaker 1: mean anything, but he's going to have a very hard
- 4:47Speaker 1: time on the insight. Hey, they don't have the death
- 4:49Speaker 1: penalty there, and he was already lonely because he was
- 4:54Speaker 1: living up in a cabin all by himself in a lumbertown.
- 4:57Speaker 1: You know, even in his high school photos, it shows
- 4:59Speaker 1: the whole group of this class, and then he's doing
- 5:02Speaker 1: a crazy photo and then he's off in the corner
- 5:04Speaker 1: looking up from a book. So long story short to
- 5:09Speaker 1: doctor Brian Russell, not only psychologist but lawyer as well,
- 5:12Speaker 1: host of IDE's Fatal Vows, Doctor Brian, one thing they
- 5:16Speaker 1: will get the defense will get out of a preliminary
- 5:19Speaker 1: hearing is they'll see the state's a blueprint to their case,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and they'll get to cross examine some of the state's
- 5:26Speaker 1: witness get the first swing at the ball for the defense.
- 5:31Speaker 1: They will, But I agree with you. If I were
- 5:34Speaker 1: representing this guy, I think I'd be waiving this because
- 5:36Speaker 1: I think that benefit is not really going to be
- 5:42Speaker 1: that enlightening for them. I think even we hear on
- 5:46Speaker 1: the show pretty well know what the state's blueprint for
- 5:50Speaker 1: price getting the case is going to be. Vincent Hill,
- 5:53Speaker 1: private an investigator, former cop, author of Playbook to a Murder.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I still say the defense for their reasons and the
- 6:01Speaker 1: state for their reasons need to weigh the preliminary hearing.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Apparently they're not going to because this gives the defense.
- 6:08Speaker 1: You've been on the stand for the state and then
- 6:11Speaker 1: cross examine. This gives the defense a perfect opportunity to
- 6:15Speaker 1: go fishing to find anything wrong and consistent, any problem,
- 6:20Speaker 1: a potential way to get those confessions suppressed. They're going
- 6:25Speaker 1: to have the state's witnesses on the stand on cross
- 6:29Speaker 1: examination under oath. Yeah, Nancy, I think we all agree.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I would wave it. Not only can the defense look
- 6:37Speaker 1: for holes, I mean they can start pointing fingers and
- 6:40Speaker 1: say the police botched investigation. I mean the police were
- 6:44Speaker 1: responding he's leaving the scene in a car. They don't
- 6:47Speaker 1: go after the car. So there's so much that they
- 6:51Speaker 1: can come out with in this preliminary hearing. I would
- 6:54Speaker 1: waive it if I was his attorney as well. So
- 6:57Speaker 1: Dave Matt with me sindicate to talk show host bottom
- 6:59Speaker 1: Line Patterson Jake Patterson, Jamie Claus's alleged kidnapper. The murderer
- 7:04Speaker 1: offered two parents in court. What will happen after that?
- 7:07Speaker 1: Dave mac this basic hearing today is his first time
- 7:10Speaker 1: in front of a judge they'll then bind it over
- 7:12Speaker 1: and they'll set a court date. What they'll do today
- 7:15Speaker 1: is probably talk about not only the confession, but also
- 7:18Speaker 1: forensic evidence they obtained at the scene in that remote
- 7:21Speaker 1: logging cabin, and that really gives a preview to the
- 7:24Speaker 1: defense as to what they're going to do at trial. Okay,
- 7:28Speaker 1: all eyes on that courtroom. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 7:40Speaker 1: The victim was found bound at the hands and at
- 7:44Speaker 1: the feet, and the victim was found in a suitcase.
- 7:48Speaker 1: The body of the woman, believed to be between eighteen
- 7:50Speaker 1: and thirty years old, was discovered along Glenville Road in
- 7:53Speaker 1: Greenwich by a highway worker. While they believe this is
- 7:57Speaker 1: a homicide, they do not know the cause of death.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Have received some leads on some i would say possible
- 8:03Speaker 1: identifications of the victim, but at this point nothing is confirmed,
- 8:08Speaker 1: so I have no information to release actually identifying the victim,
- 8:11Speaker 1: but we are following up some leads. The gruesome discovery
- 8:14Speaker 1: is both unusual and upsetting here in the picturesque Glenville
- 8:17Speaker 1: section of this affluent community. It was very upsetting when
- 8:21Speaker 1: we originally heard about it. The road in a quiet area,
- 8:24Speaker 1: is somewhat isolated. According to local residents who use it
- 8:27Speaker 1: for running and walking. Joel Legro lives nearby. I'm still
- 8:32Speaker 1: trying to take this in because i just heard about
- 8:34Speaker 1: it a few minutes ago. I mean, I've got kids here,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and I didn't know if it was an adult or
- 8:38Speaker 1: a child. An extensive crime scene was established at least
- 8:41Speaker 1: do not believe the death occurred at the site. As
- 8:44Speaker 1: they try to positively identify the victim, they do reveal
- 8:47Speaker 1: she had been constrained. They are also looking for useful video.
- 8:51Speaker 1: This gas station is just up the road. They will
- 8:53Speaker 1: check it on a couple days. We'll probably saying, I
- 8:55Speaker 1: guess special people here to check the surveillance. Hopefully they'll
- 8:59Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it and we'll figure out
- 9:02Speaker 1: what the explanation is. And unfortunate that it should happen anywhere.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You're hearing our friends at w ABC. That is Tim
- 9:11Speaker 1: Fleischer reporting speaking to a guy who owns a gas
- 9:14Speaker 1: station right up the street, Anthony Zachaquino. A young woman's
- 9:19Speaker 1: body has been found in a suitcase in an upscale area.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I Meanancy Grace, this is crime Stories. Thank you for
- 9:27Speaker 1: being with us as you were hearing that recent pressor.
- 9:32Speaker 1: We now know it is a female body. Greenwich, Connecticut
- 9:38Speaker 1: is one of the wealthiest areas in the entire United States.
- 9:44Speaker 1: It's in the top twenty list of the wealthiest zip codes.
- 9:48Speaker 1: And that's according to Bloomberg News. The average adjusted growth
- 9:52Speaker 1: that's after taxes, after deductions is nearly a million dollars.
- 9:59Speaker 1: That's the averages around six fifty to seven hundred thousand dollars. Now,
- 10:05Speaker 1: what rich person killed a woman, dismembered her and stuck
- 10:11Speaker 1: her in a suitcase or as you heard, cops don't
- 10:15Speaker 1: think this is the primary crime scene. This is at
- 10:18Speaker 1: least the secondary crime scene, if not the tertiary. And
- 10:22Speaker 1: what I mean by that is killed somewhere, putting a
- 10:26Speaker 1: suitcase somewhere, disposed of somewhere, maybe abducted from a vehicle.
- 10:32Speaker 1: There's so many possibilities. The breaking news right now, a
- 10:36Speaker 1: woman's a young woman's body has been found in a
- 10:40Speaker 1: suitcase on the side of a Connecticut road. You can
- 10:44Speaker 1: tell it is a young woman's body by an examination
- 10:48Speaker 1: of the hips and believe it or not, of the
- 10:51Speaker 1: teeth straight out to John Linley, Crime online dot Com
- 10:55Speaker 1: investigative reporter, also with me renowned to California Defense attorney
- 11:00Speaker 1: Daniel Horowitz, psychologist, lawyer, host of investigation Discoveries hit series
- 11:06Speaker 1: Fatal Vows, doctor Brian Russell, and cop turned private investigator.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Author of playbook to a Murder on Amazon Vincent Heel,
- 11:15Speaker 1: John Limley fill me in. A woman's body stuffed in
- 11:19Speaker 1: a suitcase by the side of the road. That's pretty bold,
- 11:24Speaker 1: exactly and not what a road crew was expecting when
- 11:27Speaker 1: they were working Tuesday morning along Glenville Road in Greenwich, Connecticut.
- 11:33Speaker 1: This is a beautiful area, this stretch of road, especially wooded,
- 11:39Speaker 1: running through an affluent community. It's one of those places
- 11:42Speaker 1: where people every fall come from around the country to
- 11:46Speaker 1: snap pictures of the autumn leaves. Now, this was around
- 11:49Speaker 1: eight fifteen Tuesday morning. One of the highway crew members
- 11:54Speaker 1: saw something large and dark just off the road, about
- 11:58Speaker 1: ten to fifteen feet off Glennville Road. When he got closer,
- 12:03Speaker 1: he realized it was a really big suit case. He
- 12:08Speaker 1: and a couple of his crew member colleagues opened the
- 12:13Speaker 1: suitcase and what they found inside was horrific. As we've mentioned,
- 12:19Speaker 1: it was a young woman and her hands and feet
- 12:24Speaker 1: had been bound and she was stuffed into that suit case.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Guys joining me John Linley Crime online dot Com investigative reporter.
- 12:33Speaker 1: We're learning a lot if you have information two zero
- 12:37Speaker 1: three six two two three three three three repeat the
- 12:41Speaker 1: Greenwich Police two zero three six two two three three
- 12:45Speaker 1: three three. In addition to what John Linley is telling
- 12:49Speaker 1: us to Vison Hill cop turned PI, I know this
- 12:53Speaker 1: she was fully clothed. That may rule out sex assault
- 12:58Speaker 1: or she may have been re clothed. Was a red suitcase,
- 13:03Speaker 1: which makes a difference. It's more distinctive. Even we know
- 13:07Speaker 1: when you're at the airport and the baggage what do
- 13:12Speaker 1: you call it, jackie baggage claim, they all are the
- 13:16Speaker 1: same black toomey, a black samp tonight, a black rollerboard.
- 13:21Speaker 1: This is a red suitcase. We also know this woman
- 13:24Speaker 1: is eighteen to thirty years old. Now that may sound
- 13:29Speaker 1: like a big span, that's twelve years, but actually it's
- 13:32Speaker 1: very significant. Okay, you're ruling out everybody thirty and above,
- 13:37Speaker 1: seventeen and under Vincent Hill, private and guests together, former
- 13:41Speaker 1: cop way in Well, Nancy, here's the great thing in
- 13:46Speaker 1: this tragedy. Maybe that suitcase will lead to who the
- 13:50Speaker 1: owner was, if it's a designer suitcase or something that
- 13:53Speaker 1: is not too common. You can find that, you can
- 13:57Speaker 1: track down who purchased it, where they purchased it from.
- 14:00Speaker 1: And also, Nancy, even though this was Connecticut, it's supposedly
- 14:04Speaker 1: winter time. If you look at the steel footage, there's
- 14:07Speaker 1: not a lot of snow, doesn't appear to be wet,
- 14:10Speaker 1: So that's going to preserve any DNA left behind. And
- 14:14Speaker 1: let's not forget the DNA that could be on her
- 14:16Speaker 1: clothes as touch DNA, trace DNA, things of that nature.
- 14:21Speaker 1: So I think investigators have a lot to work with here. Nancy,
- 14:25Speaker 1: even though the murder did not occur there, we know
- 14:28Speaker 1: that you can trace that based on DNA, and maybe
- 14:32Speaker 1: there's some surveillance footage in the area. You know what
- 14:37Speaker 1: I can tell you're a cop turned Pi Vinca Hill
- 14:40Speaker 1: because the police additionally says it's very difficult to tell
- 14:44Speaker 1: how long she has been dead because of environmental issues,
- 14:49Speaker 1: fluctuating temperaturrors in that area. When the victim was found,
- 14:54Speaker 1: this horrific discovery has shot local residence. They say, I
- 15:01Speaker 1: open up at six o'clock in the morning. By eight o'clock,
- 15:03Speaker 1: I see cop cars. Customers come down and say, somebody
- 15:06Speaker 1: found a body in the suitcase. That's what the gas
- 15:10Speaker 1: station owner is saying to Daniel Harrowitz. I know you're
- 15:15Speaker 1: dancing up and down the halls of your defense lawyer office,
- 15:19Speaker 1: doing a little jig because they can't tell much from
- 15:23Speaker 1: the body because the fluctuating temperatures. Her body is now decomposing.
- 15:28Speaker 1: That may get rid of DNA. Daniel Harrowitz again, I'm
- 15:32Speaker 1: dealing with a rule full of prosecutors who are suspicious
- 15:36Speaker 1: and think this is a murder. Why do you think
- 15:38Speaker 1: this is a murder? Oh wait, wait, wait wait, please stop,
- 15:42Speaker 1: please stop, Jackie, please get off the ground. Okay, that's
- 15:46Speaker 1: dangerous when you just fall over like that, like you're
- 15:49Speaker 1: fainting every time Daniel Harrowitz says something suspicious. What do
- 15:54Speaker 1: you think she killed herself then folded herself into a suitcase.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Nancy David thinks, then maybe she's at a house she
- 16:00Speaker 1: dies of a drug overdose. They are afraid of getting
- 16:03Speaker 1: in trouble. They put her in a crazy suitcase like
- 16:06Speaker 1: that dumper where she's going to be found. They're not
- 16:08Speaker 1: covering up any evidence. It is not what you do
- 16:11Speaker 1: if you kill somebody. But you're jumping to conclusions like
- 16:14Speaker 1: you always do. Like your guests always do. It could
- 16:18Speaker 1: be something very explainable and not a murder. That's the truth,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and you know it. I don't know any such of
- 16:24Speaker 1: a thing, doctor Brian Russell. I think right now I
- 16:27Speaker 1: do need a shrink, even though, yes, as you've told
- 16:29Speaker 1: me many times, you're also a lawyer and the host
- 16:32Speaker 1: of a famous TV show investigation Discoveries Fatal Vows. I
- 16:35Speaker 1: know that. But doctor Brian Russell, dummy down for me
- 16:39Speaker 1: and explain why Daniel Horrowitz is oh so wrong yet again.
- 16:43Speaker 1: So we have a young woman's body found bound in
- 16:47Speaker 1: a suitcase on the side of a road. I'm gonna
- 16:50Speaker 1: go out on a bound in a Suitcasewitz. I'm gonna
- 16:55Speaker 1: go out on a limb here and say that this
- 16:57Speaker 1: was not a young woman who passed away natural causes
- 17:01Speaker 1: at the age of eighteen to thirty. The victim found
- 17:06Speaker 1: bound at the hands and at the feet, and the
- 17:10Speaker 1: victim was found in a suitcase. The victim has now
- 17:15Speaker 1: since been ruled from the scene. We have received numerous
- 17:19Speaker 1: public tips, which is very appreciative. We are following up
- 17:23Speaker 1: on each and every one of them. We do want
- 17:25Speaker 1: to encourage the public to continue to call on those tips.
- 17:28Speaker 1: The Grass Police does have a tip line. That's area
- 17:30Speaker 1: code two zero three six two two three three three three. Jackie,
- 17:35Speaker 1: please get out the professor. I mean, I just want
- 17:37Speaker 1: to make sure that Daniel Harrowitz heard what doctor Bryan
- 17:41Speaker 1: Russell was just saying. Daniel Horror, what's renowned California defense attorney.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Now you understand why because if he can get just
- 17:49Speaker 1: one person on a jury to buy into these any theories,
- 17:52Speaker 1: he's got it made, he catches another chit ching, big
- 17:56Speaker 1: fat check from a criminal. Doctor Brian Russell, you were
- 17:58Speaker 1: right in the middle of pointing out where the chief
- 18:01Speaker 1: of police was just saying, and that is accidental natural causes.
- 18:08Speaker 1: She was bound back to doctor Brian Russell, psychologist, lawyer,
- 18:12Speaker 1: host of Id's Fatal Vows, Doctor Brian, why is this
- 18:16Speaker 1: no accident or natural cause? Is like she had a
- 18:19Speaker 1: stroke and just fell into a suitcase. We've got a
- 18:22Speaker 1: young woman found bound inside of a suitcase on the
- 18:25Speaker 1: side of the road. And I went out on a
- 18:27Speaker 1: limb and said, now I'm gonna I'm gonna go out
- 18:29Speaker 1: on a limb and say this is not somebody who
- 18:30Speaker 1: died of natural causes at age eighteen to thirty. Now,
- 18:33Speaker 1: I will agree with one thing that Daniel said, which
- 18:36Speaker 1: is that there was not a great effort made here
- 18:40Speaker 1: to conceal this body. We're talking about a body in
- 18:44Speaker 1: a red suitcase on the side of the road, and
- 18:46Speaker 1: that makes me wonder whether or not this body was
- 18:50Speaker 1: meant to be found, and whether or not there's a
- 18:54Speaker 1: tie to this community and others, perhaps family members. Nobody
- 19:00Speaker 1: to whom this young woman was tied is supposed to
- 19:03Speaker 1: be getting a message here, is supposed to be finding
- 19:07Speaker 1: her deceased body. Well, here's another question to John Limley.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Hasn't anyone commented or notice somebody is missing? Because no
- 19:17Speaker 1: one seems to have commented missing persons reports is one
- 19:21Speaker 1: thing that police are going through right now. So far
- 19:25Speaker 1: nothing has come up. They've been interviewing local residents, seeking
- 19:29Speaker 1: even video footage from security systems for clues. Of course,
- 19:34Speaker 1: the problem here is that this particular stretch of road
- 19:38Speaker 1: is not within sight of nearby residences. Most of the
- 19:42Speaker 1: residences there are what we would probably call mansions and
- 19:47Speaker 1: do have great security systems, but if it's out of sight,
- 19:51Speaker 1: you can't see it. This is a small depression on
- 19:54Speaker 1: the east side of Glenville Road. Interestingly, it's you're a
- 20:00Speaker 1: small area adjoining the road where a car could park
- 20:05Speaker 1: and possibly not be seen. Hey, Nancy, I would say,
- 20:09Speaker 1: expand the search the radius of the missing person. Let's
- 20:13Speaker 1: not forget how close Connecticut is to New York, so
- 20:17Speaker 1: we're assuming this person is local. I would expand that
- 20:20Speaker 1: search at least fifty to one hundred mile radius of
- 20:23Speaker 1: any reported missing persons that match that description. Take listen
- 20:26Speaker 1: to our friends at NBC. The gruesome discovery shut down
- 20:30Speaker 1: this busy road in one of the wealthiest communities in
- 20:32Speaker 1: the nation, highway workers finding the body of a young woman,
- 20:37Speaker 1: fully clothed, stuffed in a suitcase, her hands and feet bound.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Our focus right now is obtaining that identification of the
- 20:46Speaker 1: victim so that a proper notification can be done to
- 20:50Speaker 1: the next of ken. Please believe the victim is between
- 20:52Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty years old. We have received some leads
- 20:56Speaker 1: on some I would say, possible identifications of the victim,
- 21:01Speaker 1: but at this point nothing is confirmed. Greenwitch is home
- 21:04Speaker 1: to many rich and famous residents, a beautiful area of
- 21:07Speaker 1: Connecticut dubbed the Gold Coast. For some news of a
- 21:11Speaker 1: young woman found dead trigger memories of another high profile
- 21:15Speaker 1: crime more than forty years ago. Martha Moxley was killed
- 21:18Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, bludgeoned and stabbed with a golf club.
- 21:23Speaker 1: She was last seen with Robert F. Kennedy's nephew, Michael Skeekell,
- 21:27Speaker 1: who was fifteen at the time. Skekell would eventually be
- 21:30Speaker 1: convicted of the crime nearly three decades later. He always
- 21:35Speaker 1: maintained his innocence, and the Connecticut Supreme Court eventually vacated
- 21:39Speaker 1: that conviction, leaving the case unresolved. Now residents are faced
- 21:44Speaker 1: with another murder and so far very little to go on.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Police say they don't know how this young woman died
- 21:51Speaker 1: or where. They do not believe she was killed on
- 21:54Speaker 1: the side of the road. This is going to be
- 21:56Speaker 1: a long, methodical process. We want to make sure we
- 22:00Speaker 1: do things correctly and have verified a little information before
- 22:04Speaker 1: we put anything out. You're hearing our friends at NBC
- 22:06Speaker 1: News on the Greenwich murder mystery, that search for a
- 22:10Speaker 1: killer after a young woman's body is found. That leads
- 22:15Speaker 1: me to a host of questions regarding evidence. To Daniel Horrowitz,
- 22:19Speaker 1: California defense attorney, you have defended many murder cases I
- 22:23Speaker 1: have prosecuted many. Outside the body, the first thing you
- 22:28Speaker 1: look at is the suitcase. You determine the type, where
- 22:31Speaker 1: it's sold, if it has any identification on it or
- 22:35Speaker 1: around it, in it, anything that would identify her or
- 22:38Speaker 1: where it came from. Then you look at her clothing.
- 22:44Speaker 1: What is she wearing, where did it come from or
- 22:47Speaker 1: did she still have on shoes? What is the condition
- 22:50Speaker 1: of the bottom of her feet. So many issues here,
- 22:55Speaker 1: and regarding her decomposing body. Her fingernails, of course, would
- 23:00Speaker 1: not be decomposing. I'd be interested to find out if
- 23:03Speaker 1: there's any DNA under her fingernails. That's something that we
- 23:07Speaker 1: may be able to, let me say, scavenge. That may
- 23:12Speaker 1: be evidence that is there for us to obtain. Daniel Horowitz, Well,
- 23:16Speaker 1: I'm glad you agree with me, Nancy, since being bound,
- 23:20Speaker 1: your great theory of murder was that her hands were bound.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Now you figure her fingernails have something under them because
- 23:26Speaker 1: she's scratched. So you're contradicting yourself because you don't know
- 23:30Speaker 1: who she is. You know that they deliberately dumped her
- 23:33Speaker 1: somewhere where she could be found. I ask you the
- 23:35Speaker 1: contradiction the fact that she is bound at her hands
- 23:39Speaker 1: and her feet does not preclude the fact that she
- 23:43Speaker 1: may have scratched her attacker before she was killed. Taking
- 23:49Speaker 1: totally consisting a big fuss about how rich the community is.
- 23:52Speaker 1: You're making a big fuss that when she's found dead
- 23:55Speaker 1: or the change, and then you change your mind to say, well,
- 24:00Speaker 1: maybe her hands weren't tied, she scratched and they tied
- 24:02Speaker 1: to her up after she died. You don't know what happened,
- 24:05Speaker 1: so stop guessing and making something out of this that
- 24:08Speaker 1: it's not. It's it's great. You know if you if
- 24:11Speaker 1: you find somebody involved with this, you'll be all over
- 24:14Speaker 1: them saying the murderers. You don't know what happened, So
- 24:18Speaker 1: don't jump to conclusions now based on a shred of
- 24:20Speaker 1: evidence that you contradicted yourself. Somebody has been in the
- 24:24Speaker 1: huge this morning, correct Daniel Harrowitz, Doctor Bryan Russell. At
- 24:30Speaker 1: any point did I say any of the things Daniel
- 24:35Speaker 1: Harrowitz just suggested, or have I lost my mind yet again?
- 24:40Speaker 1: You haven't lost your mind. I think that Daniel is
- 24:44Speaker 1: doing the best contortion I can imagine anybody doing to
- 24:51Speaker 1: try to make this be anything but a really horrific homicide,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and I actually it smacks to of the stuff of
- 25:01Speaker 1: mafia movies, where you know, of course this is total speculation,
- 25:06Speaker 1: but you know, wife catches husband cheating with young woman,
- 25:10Speaker 1: and wife's wife's brother is in the mob, and you know,
- 25:14Speaker 1: the young woman ends up close to a husband and
- 25:18Speaker 1: wife's house in a suitcase as a message that the
- 25:22Speaker 1: husband better quit messing around on the wife or else
- 25:25Speaker 1: he'll be in the next suitcase something like that. Yeah,
- 25:27Speaker 1: somebody's been watching a little too much HBO and Netflix.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the mafia being part of this,
- 25:35Speaker 1: although that is a possible theory. That's the possible theory.
- 25:40Speaker 1: But John Limley, right now, wrap it up for me.
- 25:42Speaker 1: What do we know? Right now? They are working on
- 25:45Speaker 1: some leads. Now, this is not a missing person's reports.
- 25:50Speaker 1: This is from the community. People have tips that they
- 25:54Speaker 1: have already called in and according to police, this is
- 25:58Speaker 1: really helping with the investigation and leading things a lot
- 26:03Speaker 1: of leading things a lot along, a lot faster than
- 26:06Speaker 1: they were forty eight hours ago. The tip line to

- 27:55Speaker 1: to just take off and be gone. Thanksgiving is the
- 27:58Speaker 1: last known time Kelsey Barrett was seen in public. It
- 28:01Speaker 1: was at this Safeway store where she was captured by
- 28:03Speaker 1: the store's security cameras. Cheryl Barrett says she spoke with
- 28:07Speaker 1: Kelsey by phone that day twice. What did you talk
- 28:10Speaker 1: about that day? Oh, it was just small things, and
- 28:12Speaker 1: initially she needed a recipe Based on that conversation, there
- 28:17Speaker 1: was nothing to make you believe there is anything wrong exactly. Yeah.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Her voice was fine, she was, Yeah, she was. It
- 28:23Speaker 1: was a normal day for her. I've looked at that
- 28:25Speaker 1: video over and over and over trying to get any
- 28:28Speaker 1: kind of clue about where is missing Colorado Mom Kelsey
- 28:33Speaker 1: Barrett leaving behind her taught girl Kelly she would never
- 28:37Speaker 1: have done that. And she is no prom queen hiding
- 28:42Speaker 1: behind her tiara and her lipstick. She's a flight instructor,
- 28:45Speaker 1: just bought her own town home all on her own,
- 28:47Speaker 1: taking care of her little girl, and seeing her fiance
- 28:52Speaker 1: now called the killer fiance, Patrick Frazy. Where is she?
- 28:56Speaker 1: The only clue we have is her cell phone pinging
- 29:00Speaker 1: about eight hundred miles away in Gooding, Idaho, near Twin Falls,
- 29:04Speaker 1: and then enter the scene a rodeo loving mom of
- 29:09Speaker 1: two divorcee who apparently met Kelsey's fiance on the rodeo circuit.
- 29:15Speaker 1: She's heading to court. That's right, the rodeo mom of
- 29:20Speaker 1: two is heading to court. But why, I'm Nancy Grace.
- 29:24Speaker 1: This is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Listen to our friend at Fox thirty one. The connection
- 29:29Speaker 1: between Barett and Lee is Patrick Frazy. He was the
- 29:33Speaker 1: now deceased Beareth's boyfriend and father to their one year
- 29:37Speaker 1: old child, and, according to acquaintances, also dating Lee. Police
- 29:42Speaker 1: believe Phrasie killed Bareth then hit her body on Thanksgiving Day.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Bareth's cell phone was turned on after she died, pining
- 29:51Speaker 1: the cell tower near Twin Falls where Lee lives. Lee
- 29:55Speaker 1: is not in custody and Fox thirty one can't find
- 29:58Speaker 1: any criminal charges pending on public court documents, yet her
- 30:02Speaker 1: scheduled appearance in Teller County indicates she's cut a plea deal.
- 30:07Speaker 1: A plea deal to what dating a killer. We don't
- 30:12Speaker 1: know where Kelsey Bear's body is. We know nothing about
- 30:17Speaker 1: where her remains maybe hidden. We do know that her
- 30:21Speaker 1: family has brought a lawsuit for wrongful death against the
- 30:25Speaker 1: killer fiancee, and in one moment, I'm going to Alan
- 30:28Speaker 1: Duke on that there's movement there but Ellen killorin with
- 30:31Speaker 1: me Crime online dot Com investigative reporter. You can find
- 30:35Speaker 1: Ellen's work and all other breaking crime in justice news
- 30:38Speaker 1: at crime online dot Com. We've been on this since
- 30:41Speaker 1: the get go, when Kelsey beat first went missing. Ek
- 30:46Speaker 1: why is as I like to say, the rodeo loving
- 30:50Speaker 1: divorce a mom of two showing up in court pleading
- 30:54Speaker 1: guilty to what? On Friday, Crystal Lee Kenney is due
- 30:58Speaker 1: in courts. She is expected to enter into a plea deal.
- 31:03Speaker 1: KOA reported overnight that she is expected to face one
- 31:06Speaker 1: count of tampering with physical evidence. We don't know exactly
- 31:10Speaker 1: what that count is related to specifically, but there are
- 31:14Speaker 1: certainly indications that investigators believe Kenny may have disposed of
- 31:19Speaker 1: Bareth's cell phone two days after Bareth went missing on
- 31:24Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. This is what we know. This nurse apparently
- 31:29Speaker 1: met the fiance Patrick Frasy. Some call him the killer
- 31:32Speaker 1: fiance on the rodeo circuit. He is a rancher, so
- 31:36Speaker 1: that's not unusual. They struck up a love relationship. I
- 31:41Speaker 1: don't know why he didn't just break up with Kelsey Bareth,
- 31:44Speaker 1: but I can guarantee you this to Kathleen Murphy, North
- 31:47Speaker 1: Carolina family and divorce law. Your boy, they sure could
- 31:50Speaker 1: have used you. Kathleen, She's not pleading for nothing, all right.
- 31:55Speaker 1: She's going to have to be cutting a deal or
- 31:57Speaker 1: she's facing hard jail time on this thing. And I'm
- 32:00Speaker 1: very happy that they've got her over a barrel, so
- 32:03Speaker 1: to speak, because Patrick Patrick Frazy's not giving up a
- 32:07Speaker 1: Frezy whatever his name is, is not giving up anything.
- 32:10Speaker 1: He's not talking. She has a lot of information, and
- 32:13Speaker 1: with the information that we get from her, we still
- 32:16Speaker 1: don't have the body. And that's track. I know her
- 32:18Speaker 1: little girl is going to grow up not knowing what
- 32:20Speaker 1: happened to mommy. Karen Start, you're the psychologist, Karen Start
- 32:23Speaker 1: at Karen Start dot com joining us from Manhattan today, Karen,
- 32:27Speaker 1: to grow up not knowing anything about your mom, knowing
- 32:31Speaker 1: nothing like Karen. You remember when the Twins, when I
- 32:34Speaker 1: was covering the top Mom Casey Anthony trial and we
- 32:37Speaker 1: had to all, yeah, who could forget that? We all
- 32:41Speaker 1: had to move to Orlando for the duration of the trial,
- 32:45Speaker 1: before it and after it, and at that time we
- 32:49Speaker 1: would take the twins to Disneyland is a land or
- 32:52Speaker 1: World in Florida, det Well, Disney. It went to Disney
- 32:56Speaker 1: every other day, okay, And they remember practically nothing of that.
- 33:02Speaker 1: They have vague recollections of pulling ears, tail and things
- 33:06Speaker 1: like that, or chasing piggling around, but they remember very
- 33:11Speaker 1: little of that. And I'm just thinking about this little girl.
- 33:16Speaker 1: She's going to grow up. She's never going to remember
- 33:18Speaker 1: her mother, Kelsey, who is awesome. She's beautiful, she's a
- 33:24Speaker 1: flight instructor, she bought her own home. She does it all.
- 33:29Speaker 1: There were cinnamon rolls warming on the counter when her
- 33:31Speaker 1: brother showed up that day looking for her. She took
- 33:34Speaker 1: care of her daughter, I mean everything. She was superwoman.
- 33:39Speaker 1: And this child, Kelly will never know her because of
- 33:43Speaker 1: this jackass Patrick Frazy according to police. Karen, I mean,
- 33:49Speaker 1: how's that going to affect her well? In addition to
- 33:52Speaker 1: which fancy, I mean, she will not remember her. They're
- 33:55Speaker 1: absolutely right. And who was her father? You know, there's
- 34:00Speaker 1: nobody for this little girl. But she will be okay,
- 34:04Speaker 1: as long as the memory of her mother has kept
- 34:07Speaker 1: alive that the people that can still be there with
- 34:11Speaker 1: her but will constantly talk about her and show her
- 34:14Speaker 1: pictures and videos, whatever they can do to keep the
- 34:18Speaker 1: memory alive for her because she will want to know
- 34:21Speaker 1: and remember as much. This is what I know about
- 34:27Speaker 1: Miss Chrystal Lee, aged thirty two years old. She as
- 34:31Speaker 1: Ellen Colorna, is reporting a scheduled to appear in Colorado
- 34:34Speaker 1: a courtroom Friday morning eight thirty am. She's going to
- 34:39Speaker 1: enter a plea deal with prosecutors. According to two of
- 34:43Speaker 1: her relatives, who spoke anonymously, the deal has not been
- 34:46Speaker 1: made public. They say she's been cooperating with investigators and
- 34:51Speaker 1: the investigators are looking into claim she disposed of evidence,
- 34:54Speaker 1: specifically Kelsey Bearer's cell phone. Hello, it pained right where
- 35:00Speaker 1: she lives at Twin Falls, Idaho. Long story short, this
- 35:05Speaker 1: woman facing one kind of tampering with physical evidence. It's
- 35:09Speaker 1: a Class six fellas knee punishable by eighteen months behind bars.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Unless she wants to do that and maybe a whole
- 35:15Speaker 1: lot more, she better cooperate. So what do you expect
- 35:18Speaker 1: her to offer an exchange for a sweet deal? Kathleen Murphy,
- 35:22Speaker 1: you're the lawyer. I think that she's gonna make a
- 35:25Speaker 1: plea deal for no jail time because she has a
- 35:29Speaker 1: new child herself, and if she goes into this without
- 35:34Speaker 1: jail time, then she's gonna be able to leave it
- 35:37Speaker 1: all behind. But I would be very disappointed if she
- 35:41Speaker 1: got no disappointed as a nurse at Saint Luke's Magic
- 35:43Speaker 1: Valley Medical Center there in Twin Falls, Idaho. But the
- 35:47Speaker 1: hospital spokesperson says an individual by that name no longer
- 35:51Speaker 1: works at the hospital. That's what we know what is
- 35:55Speaker 1: going to happen in court Friday morning. As i've right
- 35:59Speaker 1: now see Barrett or her remains have not been discovered.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Now we know in another development, we know that Crystal Lee,
- 36:09Speaker 1: who is reportedly having an affair with a killer fiance,
- 36:13Speaker 1: is going to be in court Friday morning to play guilty.
- 36:17Speaker 1: But to what and why? Listen to our friends and
- 36:19Speaker 1: Inside edition, did this nurse help murder suspect Patrick Frazy
- 36:23Speaker 1: dispose of the cell phone belonging to his fiance. Her
- 36:26Speaker 1: name is Crystal Lee and she is a registered nurse
- 36:29Speaker 1: it Twin Falls, Idaho. Published reports say the FBI is
- 36:32Speaker 1: investigating her in connection with Kelsey Barrett's disappearance. Lee lives
- 36:37Speaker 1: about thirty five miles from where the missing mom's cell
- 36:40Speaker 1: phone last painted, three days after she was seen at
- 36:43Speaker 1: a supermarket on Thanksgiving Day. Here's what we know about Lee.
- 36:47Speaker 1: She is thirty two years old and a divorced mother
- 36:50Speaker 1: of two. She is active in rodeo and was once
- 36:53Speaker 1: crowned Miss Magic Valley Stampede Queen. She and Frazy reportedly
- 36:57Speaker 1: met at a rodeo. He's a blacks. The nature of
- 37:01Speaker 1: Crystal Lee's relationship with Patrick Frazy is unclear, and authorities
- 37:05Speaker 1: have not confirmed that they are investigating. League. Victoria Racanio
- 37:09Speaker 1: is in Twin Falls. According to one report, they've known
- 37:12Speaker 1: each other for years and were romantically involved. Crystal Lee
- 37:15Speaker 1: works at Saint Luke's Medical Center as a pre opt nurse.
- 37:18Speaker 1: A spokeswoman confirms she is now on a leave of absence.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Kelsey Barrett's parents have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against
- 37:26Speaker 1: Frazy for his actions to murder and or collaboration to
- 37:29Speaker 1: murder their daughter. This woman, Crystal Lee, the Mismagic Valley
- 37:34Speaker 1: Stampede Queen, is going to be in court on Friday
- 37:38Speaker 1: morning at eight thirty two. Aladte we heard that the parents.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Kelsey's parents have filed a wrongful death action against killer fiance,
- 37:47Speaker 1: Patrick Frazie. What do you know about that well, A
- 37:50Speaker 1: source close to the legal team assures me that the
- 37:53Speaker 1: lawsuit will go on, but expect them to withdraw it
- 37:57Speaker 1: soon from federal court because they don't want to impede
- 38:01Speaker 1: the criminal investigation. If they were to proceed with more
- 38:04Speaker 1: hearings and discovery, it would reveal some information that they
- 38:09Speaker 1: believe police do not want revealed yet, so they are
- 38:13Speaker 1: going to pull it and then refile it later. Take
- 38:16Speaker 1: a listen. This is how Crystal Lee, the former Mismagic
- 38:21Speaker 1: Valley Stampede queen, was found out. Joe and Patty Rosall
- 38:25Speaker 1: say they called the FBI after learning disturbing details about
- 38:28Speaker 1: the disappearance of Kelsey Barrett. They claim they learned the
- 38:31Speaker 1: information from a close friend of Crystal Lee. Lee allegedly
- 38:34Speaker 1: had a relationship with Barrett's fiance, Patrick Frazy Crazy is
- 38:38Speaker 1: now charge of Barrett's murder, even though her body hasn't
- 38:41Speaker 1: been found. Nikobatis is here with the expanding, twisting and
- 38:45Speaker 1: turning investigation. Nicki. Good morning, good morning, Good morning everyone,
- 38:49Speaker 1: a source tells CBS News The FBI questioned Crystal Lee
- 38:52Speaker 1: regarding her possible role in Kelsey Barrett's disappearance and that
- 38:56Speaker 1: she is cooperating with authorities. Her alleged connection to Patrick
- 38:59Speaker 1: Free is offering new insight into what may have happened.
- 39:04Speaker 1: She was in love with him from a very young age.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Pattie and Joe Rockstall say one of their employees, who
- 39:10Speaker 1: was Crystal Lee's best friend, told him that Lee and
- 39:13Speaker 1: Patrick Frazy had a relationship that began just after high school.
- 39:17Speaker 1: She was very vulnerable and I think she cared for
- 39:19Speaker 1: him and he took advantage of that. He was her
- 39:21Speaker 1: first love. I understand, and Yanna hold on her. The
- 39:24Speaker 1: Rockstalls say they were told Lee, a nurse from Idaho
- 39:27Speaker 1: and mother, visited Frazy as recently as November, the month
- 39:32Speaker 1: his fiance Kelsey Barreth vanished. They claimed their employee says
- 39:36Speaker 1: Frazy threatened Lee and she may have helped him dispose
- 39:39Speaker 1: of evidence. Do you know what the threats were? Patrick
- 39:43Speaker 1: told Crystal that little girls go missing off the playground
- 39:47Speaker 1: all the time. Crystal was so scared. He was so
- 39:51Speaker 1: angry that he said things that made Crystal think he
- 39:53Speaker 1: had killed before. So of course she's going to be terrifying.
- 39:59Speaker 1: The Rockstalls say they were told Phrasey Astley three times
- 40:02Speaker 1: as early as October to help kill Barett, but Lee refused.
- 40:07Speaker 1: From what Cristel said, what was Patrick Phrasie's motive that
- 40:12Speaker 1: he felt that Kelsey was going to harm the child,
- 40:15Speaker 1: that she was crazy? Is Crystal Lee a murderer? I
- 40:18Speaker 1: don't believe so, I don't. Barett was last seen on
- 40:23Speaker 1: this surveillance video at a grocery store in Colorado on
- 40:26Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day with her and Phrase's one year old daughter.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Three days later, police say Barett's cell phone pinned nearly
- 40:33Speaker 1: six hundred miles away in Gooding, Idaho. Several texts were
- 40:37Speaker 1: sent from the phone, including one to her employer saying
- 40:40Speaker 1: she would be away for a week and another to Phrasey.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Do you think Krystal Lee sent those texts? I do.
- 40:47Speaker 1: She had the phone. She was probably instructed to send
- 40:50Speaker 1: those texts by Patrick, but that there's nobody else that
- 40:54Speaker 1: could have sent those texts to my knowledge. Why would
- 40:57Speaker 1: Cristell Lee, a nurse with children, helped Patrick Frazy cover
- 41:03Speaker 1: up the murder of his fiance. I think she was
- 41:06Speaker 1: afraid and I think she got in over her head.
- 41:09Speaker 1: She was in love with Patrick. And we've all heard
- 41:13Speaker 1: the stories of what people will do for love. You
- 41:15Speaker 1: are hearing our friends at CBS as they were reporting
- 41:19Speaker 1: and speaking with Patty and Joe Rockstall there in Idaho,
- 41:25Speaker 1: and they're telling the story. The Rockstalls are telling the
- 41:28Speaker 1: story of this nurse, Crystal Lee, who had been in
- 41:31Speaker 1: love with Patrick Frazie, the so called killer fiance, for
- 41:34Speaker 1: so long and at first refused to help. You know
- 41:39Speaker 1: Karen Stark, psychologist, You can find her at Karen Stark
- 41:41Speaker 1: dot com. What people do for love? I mean, she
- 41:46Speaker 1: had to know that Patrick Frasy meant to kill Kelsey Barrett.
- 41:51Speaker 1: And if he thought that Kelsey was harming their daughter
- 41:55Speaker 1: in any way, he could have reported it and gotten
- 41:57Speaker 1: the child himself. He didn't do that. He wanted her dead.
- 42:00Speaker 1: I think there was a money motive. They may have
- 42:02Speaker 1: been a motive, but in cases like this, you're talking
- 42:05Speaker 1: about a person the personality where it's just very convenient
- 42:10Speaker 1: for him to kill them. They actually he might even
- 42:12Speaker 1: get off the fact that he gets to kill her
- 42:16Speaker 1: and unfortunately received it. In a lot of cases, people
- 42:19Speaker 1: do really really insane things when they were in love.
- 42:24Speaker 1: You know they say that love can make you crazy, Well,
- 42:27Speaker 1: this is an instance of that where she's devoted to
- 42:30Speaker 1: the man that she'll do anything. I want to go
- 42:32Speaker 1: back to Ellen colorin joining us. Oh hold on, I'm
- 42:35Speaker 1: just being joined right now by forensics expert out of Florida,
- 42:38Speaker 1: Karen Smith. Karen, how do you think they put it
- 42:43Speaker 1: all together? And what do you expect to learn from
- 42:46Speaker 1: the texts and the paying data. I think that that
- 42:49Speaker 1: cellphone pag Nancy was the key to this case. You know,
- 42:52Speaker 1: it payed twenty five miles from Crystal Lee's house in
- 42:55Speaker 1: Twin Falls, Idaho. They linked Crystal Lee back to path
- 43:00Speaker 1: Trick Crazy probably. You know, she's going to be the
- 43:03Speaker 1: weak link in the chain here, which is why she's
- 43:05Speaker 1: getting this plea deal for apparently tampering with physical evidence.
- 43:09Speaker 1: So what they're going to do is question her what
- 43:11Speaker 1: did you do with her cell phone? Did you throw
- 43:14Speaker 1: it at a dumpster? Did you throw it in a river?
- 43:16Speaker 1: What did you do with it? When did you have it?
- 43:19Speaker 1: What did you know? And when they're going to go
- 43:22Speaker 1: back and question her about Patrick Frazy, what is he like?
- 43:26Speaker 1: When's the last time that you saw Kelsey Barretts when's
- 43:29Speaker 1: the last time you saw Patrick Frazy All of these questions,
- 43:33Speaker 1: not only those small details, but basically, did Patrick Frazie
- 43:38Speaker 1: confide in her? You know, she was a trust and confidant.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Not only that, but according to reports, he was threatening
- 43:45Speaker 1: her and her daughter to keep her over a barrel.
- 43:48Speaker 1: It's a very complex case and law enforcement has their
- 43:51Speaker 1: work cut out. I'm just hoping that at some point somebody,
- 43:54Speaker 1: maybe Crystal Lee, if she knows, will come for us
- 43:57Speaker 1: with where Kelsey Barrett's body is so that she can
- 44:00Speaker 1: put to rest. Well, another thing, they need her, Kathleen Murphy,
- 44:03Speaker 1: North Carolina family and divorce lawyer, because he Patrick Frasy
- 44:07Speaker 1: is charged with murder and solicitation, She's obviously the one
- 44:11Speaker 1: he's solicited. They need her, They need her, and that
- 44:14Speaker 1: goes back to my earlier comment. She's probably shooting for
- 44:17Speaker 1: no jail time because of her children, but I think
- 44:21Speaker 1: the police department and the detectives hold all the cards.
- 44:25Speaker 1: You can get thirty years or you can get fifteen years,
- 44:29Speaker 1: but she's got to get something. She's got to get something,
- 44:32Speaker 1: but not at the expense of Kelsey's family. We wait
- 44:35Speaker 1: as justice unfolds on Friday morning, oh eight thirty Nancy
- 44:41Speaker 1: Grace Crime Story is signing off Goodbye friend,
