0:35
Speaker 1: money into your children. You try to push them in

Speaker 1: every way that you can. You help them on their
0:42

0:45
Speaker 1: and this goes on year after a year, after you
0:48
Speaker 1: finally get them to college. You know where I'm going

1:19
Speaker 1: with us here at Fox Nation. In Sirius XM one eleven,
1:24
Speaker 1: who murdered Ali take a listen to this fear, sadness
1:30
Speaker 1: and anger. After an apparent random act of violence, an
1:34

1:40
Speaker 1: when someone opened fire in the middle of the night.
1:43
Speaker 1: Ali Rice was shot multiple times and died in the
1:45
Speaker 1: front seat of her car. Police aren't sure right now
1:48
Speaker 1: who did it. There's no sign anything was stolen. Police
1:51
Speaker 1: have been working the streets all day, canvassing that area.
1:54
Speaker 1: We have talked to businesses along Government Street who say
1:56
Speaker 1: they have turned over surveillance video two detectives. Twenty one
2:01
Speaker 1: year old Alison Rice was found shot to death inside
2:03
Speaker 1: of her car in downtown Baton Rouge, and her murder
2:07
Speaker 1: happening just three miles away from LSU, where she attended.
2:11
Speaker 1: The twenty one year old was returning from an arcade
2:14
Speaker 1: Friday morning when she was shot to death multiple times
2:17
Speaker 1: inside her car. The gunman and their motive both remain
2:21
Speaker 1: a mystery. You are hearing our friends at wub RZ
2:26
Speaker 1: and News Nation, But now take a listen again to
2:30
Speaker 1: Katie Eastern. Twenty one year old Alison Rice, who went
2:34
Speaker 1: by Ali, was found shot to death in her car.
2:37
Speaker 1: She was a senior at LSU studying marketing and attended
2:41
Speaker 1: Dutchtown High School, where she was a cheerleader. Yeah, I
2:44
Speaker 1: know people who live in the area heard the gunfire
2:49
Speaker 1: but didn't see anything. Sources say they believe Rice was
2:53
Speaker 1: turning around at the tracks as a train came by.
2:56
Speaker 1: It as when someone shot her multiple times through her
2:59
Speaker 1: when she old I heard Frainba, I didn't, But I
3:03
Speaker 1: am Peter Matthew Tryl panther gunchybatt firon a senior at
3:07
Speaker 1: LSU studying marketing, cheerleader at Dutchtown High, minding her own
3:14
Speaker 1: business in her own car, probably with the doors locked,
3:18
Speaker 1: eating French fries. And now she's dead. Now, how do
3:23
Speaker 1: you tell that to Alie's parents? With me and All
3:28
Speaker 1: Star panel to make sense of what we know right now?
3:31
Speaker 1: But speaking of telling Ali's parents, who gets that job?
3:38
Speaker 1: Who was sent early early in the morning to Ali's parents'
3:43
Speaker 1: front door and to give them the knews their girl
3:49
Speaker 1: is dead? Take a listen to Ali's dad speaking with
3:54
Speaker 1: our friend Martha McCallen. We received ring on the doorbell
3:58
Speaker 1: at four. You know, we woke up to our dogs
4:02
Speaker 1: barking and the doorbell ringing. You know, cops have showed
4:06
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night before for various reasons,
4:09
Speaker 1: you know, things going on in the neighborhood and all.
4:11
Speaker 1: But when they ask are you Allison's father? Can we
4:16
Speaker 1: come in please? Yeah, you knew at that point that
4:20
Speaker 1: it was going to be something terrible This should not
4:22
Speaker 1: have happened. Should not have happened. She's a beautiful child.
4:28
Speaker 1: She had one year left to graduate LSU. She had
4:31
Speaker 1: her whole future ahead of her. Just so devastating. Their
4:36
Speaker 1: investigators say that prior to the shooting, Rice had been
4:39
Speaker 1: with friends at a business in mid City. It's unclear
4:42
Speaker 1: what happened between the time that she left and when
4:45
Speaker 1: she was gunned down. Let's go straight out to Chris
4:49
Speaker 1: and Nakamedo, chief investigative reporter w b r ZTV on Facebook.
4:54
Speaker 1: You can find him at Chris Nakamo w b r Z. Chris,
4:57
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Let's just start at
5:00
Speaker 1: the very beginning. We got a lot to get through. Chris,
5:04
Speaker 1: tell me what happened when Ali was shot. This murder
5:09
Speaker 1: has really rocked this community to the poor. This is
5:12
Speaker 1: the type of street where murders don't happen. She was
5:15
Speaker 1: leaving an arcade, had stopped at a railroad track literally
5:19
Speaker 1: a stone's throw from downtown Baton Rouge and you literally
5:24
Speaker 1: there's a train that's coming by, and from what police
5:27
Speaker 1: have told us, gunman approaches and just opens fire on her. Call. Okay,
5:32
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you just tell me something I didn't know,
5:34
Speaker 1: Chris Nakamoto. Chris is joining us from w b r Z.
5:37
Speaker 1: You said a gunman approached her car, So this is
5:42
Speaker 1: not a case of wrong place, wrong time. They saw
5:48
Speaker 1: who they were shooting to. The gunman actually approached her car.
5:51
Speaker 1: Our sources are saying that a gunman or gunman arrived
5:55
Speaker 1: on foot and shot through her window, killing her. Just Gruel,
6:03
Speaker 1: a marketing major cheerleader scrubbed in Sunshine, gunned down by
6:09
Speaker 1: unknown assailants as she's in her car trying to turn
6:13
Speaker 1: around the car at a train track and munche it
6:15
Speaker 1: on fries. It's not computing to me and something else,
6:19
Speaker 1: you said, Chris Nakamoto, And I'm not going to kill
6:22
Speaker 1: the messenger. But Monaka joining me high profile private investigator
6:28
Speaker 1: with Monica Investigations out of Omaha on Twitter at Monak Mona.
6:33
Speaker 1: Did you hear Chris Nakamoto say this is a neighborhood
6:37
Speaker 1: where people don't get shot all right? He's right, He's right.
6:42
Speaker 1: Statistically there's not a lot of shootings there. But the
6:45
Speaker 1: reality is crime invades every neighborhood. I mean, you're beating
6:51
Speaker 1: the street every single day on your cases as a
6:53
Speaker 1: PI private investigator, and I bet you investigate all over
6:58
Speaker 1: every area of hewn. Yes. No, yes, that's true, in
7:03
Speaker 1: areas that most people wouldn't assume that there's a lot
7:05
Speaker 1: of crime. I see it all the time. And also
7:10
Speaker 1: there was a witness that was parked on the other
7:13
Speaker 1: side of the railroad tracks. The witness two men passed
7:16
Speaker 1: his car, go between the train boxes and approach Ali's car. Okay,
7:24
Speaker 1: you know what you're giving me a flashback? I've read
7:26
Speaker 1: every single Agatha Christie that has been written, and you know,
7:32
Speaker 1: they do the books and the movie might be named
7:35
Speaker 1: something else, and then the book might be re released
7:38
Speaker 1: years later under a different name. But I read it
7:41
Speaker 1: as what missus mcgilla cutty saw and it's between trains.
7:46
Speaker 1: Her train went that way, and she saw her murder
7:48
Speaker 1: when the train went that way. And it's very hard
7:52
Speaker 1: to see. But what you're you know what you're telling me.
7:57
Speaker 1: You can see as the train goes by through the
8:00
Speaker 1: train cars. Wow, tell me about that, Chris Nakamoto. We
8:04
Speaker 1: know that when police arrived on the scene after the
8:07
Speaker 1: shooting happened, that they processed the scene for hours. They
8:11
Speaker 1: have been very tight lipped about what type of evidence
8:13
Speaker 1: they collected at the scene. But my sources are saying
8:16
Speaker 1: that there was a number of pieces of evidence that
8:20
Speaker 1: were collected and are being tested. Hopefully our crime lab
8:23
Speaker 1: here in Louisiana that operates under the umbrella Louisiana State
8:28
Speaker 1: Police can get a rush on some of that to
8:30
Speaker 1: see if they can get a return to hopefully try
8:33
Speaker 1: to connect the dots to see if there's any sort
8:35
Speaker 1: of DNA matches. We do know. Yesterday the District Attorney
8:39
Speaker 1: announced that the FEDS have also joined in the investigation,
8:42
Speaker 1: the da ATF and the FBI in hopes of trying
8:47
Speaker 1: to all put their minds together to sauls who committed
8:50
Speaker 1: this heinous murder. Okay, well, let's go to the other
8:53
Speaker 1: experts joining us. I've introduced Chris Nakamoto w BRZ on
8:56
Speaker 1: the story from the beginning Monakai from monaka An investigations
9:00
Speaker 1: in Omaha. But I want to go now to a
9:03
Speaker 1: longtime friend and colleague, doctor Michelle Dupree, forensic pathologists, medical examiner,
9:09
Speaker 1: detective and author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide, Doctor Duprey,
9:16
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about what Chris Nakamoto
9:18
Speaker 1: w B hars He just said. He said, they took
9:20
Speaker 1: hours to process the scene hours. You know what makes
9:26
Speaker 1: it scene like this even more difficult is that it's
9:29
Speaker 1: out doors. I've processed scenes with crime investigators outdoors before.
9:38
Speaker 1: I'm just what comes to mind is a playground housing project.
9:43
Speaker 1: The whole thing was covered with broken glass, used condoms,
9:48
Speaker 1: hypodermic needles, little glass sing bags, and we were looking
9:52
Speaker 1: for a shellcasing and we found one. But long story
9:59
Speaker 1: short to dupri the pitfalls of an outdoor crime scene explain. Now,
10:05
Speaker 1: there are so many. I mean, first of all, there
10:07
Speaker 1: is so much other information. There's so much other debris.
10:11
Speaker 1: You're not sure of what is relevant and what isn't,
10:15
Speaker 1: and so you can't take the chance that you're going
10:16
Speaker 1: to miss something. So you end up picking up a
10:18
Speaker 1: lot more evidence sometimes than you're really going to be
10:21
Speaker 1: able to use or that's pertinent to the case. In addition,
10:24
Speaker 1: you have the weather to worry about. You have all
10:26
Speaker 1: sorts of other again debris, whether it's foreign DNA or
10:30
Speaker 1: whether it's other people's fingerprints or tire prints or whatever
10:33
Speaker 1: it might be. There is oftentimes just so much to
10:36
Speaker 1: sit through and know what's really important and what to
10:39
Speaker 1: take and thinking about DNA and fingerprints, if they shot
10:43
Speaker 1: through the window, Doctor dupri unless they touched the car,
10:48
Speaker 1: which maybe they did, I mean, Chris Nakamoto. How close
10:52
Speaker 1: did they get to the car? See, those are questions
10:54
Speaker 1: the police have not answered, but we do know they
10:57
Speaker 1: fired on her car at least ten times. Good Lauren
11:01
Speaker 1: and heaven, hold on, hold on, doctor Dupris. Let this
11:05
Speaker 1: percolate for a moment. I want to talk about how
11:08
Speaker 1: prince can be found on shell casings, casings? Can they
11:13
Speaker 1: be found on bullets? If they got close enough to
11:16
Speaker 1: the car, if they touched the car, how you process
11:19
Speaker 1: that scene? But Doctor Angie Arnold, percolate on that, Doctor Duprie,
11:23
Speaker 1: Doctor Angela Arnold joining me, renowned psychiatrists joining us at
11:26
Speaker 1: the Atlanta jurisdiction. You can find her at Angela Arnold
11:30
Speaker 1: MD dot com. Doctor Angie ten rounds or more? What
11:39
Speaker 1: is that telling you? Look, this is not some jilted boyfriend.
11:44
Speaker 1: Didn't you say there was more than one assail at
11:46
Speaker 1: Chris or did you say that? We heard from our
11:49
Speaker 1: sources that there was possibly one or two people that
11:53
Speaker 1: approached the vehicle. Police have been very tight lipped about
11:55
Speaker 1: what they've released so far. I understand they don't want
11:58
Speaker 1: to get too much information out there that could somehow
12:02
Speaker 1: harm the integrity of the investigation. Okay, still we know
12:06
Speaker 1: ten rounds, Chris? Do we know that? That is what
12:09
Speaker 1: our sources are saying. At least, doctor Angie, this is
12:13
Speaker 1: just a girl. She's a college teen that she's been
12:16
Speaker 1: at an arcade with her other girlfriends. She's eating fries.
12:20
Speaker 1: How many times, Angie, have you sat at the red
12:23
Speaker 1: light with some fries or I don't know, in your case,
12:27
Speaker 1: maybe some potte I don't know, but and minding your
12:30
Speaker 1: own business and then out of the blue, Yes, every day, Nancy.
12:35
Speaker 1: We do it every day, don't we. Driving down Peach Tree.
12:39
Speaker 1: It sounds like it was an execution. I wonder if
12:43
Speaker 1: they even knew who they were shooting. I'm just telling you,
12:45
Speaker 1: this girl is too young to be the victim an
12:51
Speaker 1: orchestrated execution. What more do we know? Take a listen
12:56
Speaker 1: now to our friends at ABC thirteen Houston. As an
13:00
Speaker 1: urgent man hunt in Louisiana for an LSU students killer.
13:03
Speaker 1: Police are now coming through evidence to try to find
13:05
Speaker 1: out who shot and killed twenty one year old Alice
13:08
Speaker 1: Rice in Baton Rouge. Last Friday, Rice stopped for a
13:11
Speaker 1: train crossing and was approached by someone who simply opened
13:15
Speaker 1: fire at least a dozen times. They're into her windshield glass,
13:20
Speaker 1: and other marketing suggests she was trying to turn around
13:23
Speaker 1: when she died. There are still no leads in this case.
13:38
Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace. Wendy Patrick joining me, California prosecutor,
13:45
Speaker 1: author of Red Flags that's on Amazon. You can find
13:49
Speaker 1: her at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. She's also the
13:52
Speaker 1: host of Today with Doctor Wendy KCBQ San Diego. Wendy,
13:57
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Wendy, I'm just imagining what happened,
14:01
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if she saw these guys or guy
14:06
Speaker 1: coming and she tried to turn around, or if she
14:09
Speaker 1: was turning around because it was a train track and
14:11
Speaker 1: she didn't want to wait on the train. She could
14:13
Speaker 1: have gotten a sixth sense because this was you know,
14:16
Speaker 1: they played at the all played at this arcade till
14:19
Speaker 1: after midnight, so it's pitch dark and she stuck at
14:22
Speaker 1: a train track. I mean, Wendy Patrick, have you ever
14:26
Speaker 1: it's happened to me? I remember jogging a really long
14:29
Speaker 1: road by railroad tracks and there was nothing around, and
14:33
Speaker 1: it hit me, you, of all people, no better than
14:37
Speaker 1: to do this. I just got a feeling. And I
14:39
Speaker 1: turned around on the other way, going back toward home,
14:42
Speaker 1: and I wonder if she was sitting there and went,
14:45
Speaker 1: what it's after midnight. I'm here alone in my car
14:50
Speaker 1: at a train. It's gonna take forever to get by.
14:53
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I'm out of here. I wonder if she
14:55
Speaker 1: got a six sense it was turning around. What do
14:57
Speaker 1: you think happened? Based on what we know? And now
14:59
Speaker 1: we're hearing Chris Nakamoto, possibly twelve bullets, but but go ahead, Wendy.
15:05
Speaker 1: It seems like situational awareness really kicked in. If that's
15:09
Speaker 1: in fact what she was doing. You know, we're supposed
15:11
Speaker 1: to have our heads on a swivel regardless of where
15:13
Speaker 1: we are, but especially if it's the middle of the night,
15:16
Speaker 1: you're at an area, even if you're familiar with it.
15:19
Speaker 1: You know, Chris brought up the great point of though
15:21
Speaker 1: not in my backyard, it's a safe community. We don't
15:24
Speaker 1: have murders here. But you know, if this beautiful young
15:26
Speaker 1: woman lived there, she probably knew there were in fact
15:30
Speaker 1: elements to be dangerous and the things that she should
15:32
Speaker 1: be aware of. It sounds like mistaken identity. I also
15:36
Speaker 1: think it sounds like an execution and assassination. And you
15:39
Speaker 1: wonder whether or not she heard something that was my
15:42
Speaker 1: first thought that caused her to look around and make
15:45
Speaker 1: sure she was safe. And sadly we know what happened
15:47
Speaker 1: and where at the end of that one. Chris Nakamoto
15:49
Speaker 1: w b r Z. I also learned from some of
15:54
Speaker 1: our sources that she was shot through the quote wand
15:58
Speaker 1: screen off. Are they trying to say the front windshield? Yes,
16:02
Speaker 1: that's what we are understanding as well, but the bullets
16:06
Speaker 1: entered in her abdomen area. From what we're being told,
16:10
Speaker 1: the district attorney told us, the key piece that they're
16:14
Speaker 1: trying to figure out was was she trying to turn
16:17
Speaker 1: around when she saw the train and was stop there
16:20
Speaker 1: or was she trying to turn around after she saw
16:23
Speaker 1: the gunman approach, And so they're trying to piece that together.
16:26
Speaker 1: Obviously they said that there wasn't surveillance video right there.
16:30
Speaker 1: Just going to ask you that they've combed through the area,
16:33
Speaker 1: going to multiple businesses, and I know for a fact
16:36
Speaker 1: that they are going through some videos in hopes of
16:39
Speaker 1: trying to piece together what happened to doctor Michelle Dfree
16:42
Speaker 1: joining US medical pathologist, examiner and detective. What do you
16:50
Speaker 1: make of the shots coming through the windshield the front windshield,
16:56
Speaker 1: but she shot in the abdomen. That had to be
16:59
Speaker 1: shooting down directly at her, well and Nancy. It can
17:03
Speaker 1: do a couple of things. Of course, the shots coming
17:05
Speaker 1: through what we would call an intermediate target would be
17:09
Speaker 1: the windshield, so it's going to deflect that bullet in
17:12
Speaker 1: some other direction. It's also going to cause more damage
17:15
Speaker 1: because the bullet will have expanded hitting that initial target,
17:18
Speaker 1: and so when it would hit her, unfortunately, it would
17:22
Speaker 1: be a much more devastating injury. I want to go
17:25
Speaker 1: to something that you've been talking about. She may have
17:28
Speaker 1: seen the people coming, so she may have tried to
17:31
Speaker 1: turn around. This is very It's a very interesting case
17:35
Speaker 1: because it could be personal because they'd have to know who, when,
17:38
Speaker 1: and where she was. It could also be something like
17:41
Speaker 1: a gang initiation, or if it's really truly random. This
17:45
Speaker 1: is very scary because those are the most hard cases
17:48
Speaker 1: to even try to solve. When it truly is random.
17:51
Speaker 1: Guys are learning a little bit more This is from
17:55
Speaker 1: Unfiltered with Karen, and it is a quote an alleged witness.
18:01
Speaker 1: I was bringing my friend home who lives on Government Street.
18:05
Speaker 1: When we got on Government, we came to the train
18:07
Speaker 1: tracks and the train was at a complete stop. Not
18:10
Speaker 1: even hate it when the train does it. Not even
18:13
Speaker 1: Ten minutes later, two guys walked past my car, wearing
18:17
Speaker 1: dark clothes with long sleeves, one wearing a red hoodie,
18:20
Speaker 1: the hoodie over his head. Mid twenties, both of them
18:24
Speaker 1: five ten to five eleven. At this time, her vehicle
18:29
Speaker 1: pulled up. This is Allison's Ali's silver suv. These two
18:33
Speaker 1: guys walked past my vehicle, the train still at a stop,
18:37
Speaker 1: walking through the cars of the train to get across
18:41
Speaker 1: the tracks. Ten minutes went by. Heard gunshots, multiple gunshots.
18:45
Speaker 1: I could still see her car parked. As soon as
18:48
Speaker 1: the shots went off, she tried to turn around and
18:51
Speaker 1: then she just stopped. I could not tell where the
18:54
Speaker 1: shots were coming from, but I knew they were very
18:57
Speaker 1: close to me. I ended up backing out and leaving.
19:01
Speaker 1: That's more of what we know right now. Guys, the
19:06
Speaker 1: police are issuing a desperate plea for help. Take a
19:10
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at w DBJ Police are pleading
19:12
Speaker 1: with the public if anyone has information regarding this case,
19:16
Speaker 1: so please come forward. We're asking for anyone that has
19:20
Speaker 1: any information regarding the death of this young lady pick
19:26
Speaker 1: up the phone, call crime Stoppers three four four seven,
19:29
Speaker 1: eight sixty seven. Back to doctor Michelle Dupree, author of
19:35
Speaker 1: Homicide Investigation Field Guide, what about the possibility of any
19:40
Speaker 1: kind of prints, full or partial, on shells or bullets, Well,
19:47
Speaker 1: you're not going to find any prints on the bullets themselves.
19:50
Speaker 1: On the shelves. There is a relatively new technique where
19:54
Speaker 1: it has been possible to find prints on the shelves,
19:58
Speaker 1: but you have to do it very carefully. We found
20:02
Speaker 1: that the oils well oftentimes leave they're very small, etching
20:05
Speaker 1: on the casing of the shell. So it would be
20:09
Speaker 1: you've got to find their shells and hopefully they would.
20:12
Speaker 1: And the problem with the bullet if you've ever seen
20:15
Speaker 1: a bullet that's already been fired, even if someone did
20:19
Speaker 1: touch the bullet, the problem is the bullet becomes deformed
20:24
Speaker 1: once it hits anything. It's going at such a high velocity,
20:29
Speaker 1: it crumples up like a paper cut when it hits
20:32
Speaker 1: not always, but a lot of times you can't get
20:35
Speaker 1: a print off of that. To Monacae, private investigator joining
20:39
Speaker 1: us for Monica investigations, what do you make of what
20:41
Speaker 1: we're learning now? Well, I think it's interesting that if
20:43
Speaker 1: it was a random shooting, it passed the first car
20:47
Speaker 1: that the witness you know, described, passed his car, went
20:51
Speaker 1: to her car, and then he describes, you know, roughly
20:54
Speaker 1: ten minutes of time went by before he heard gunshots.
20:58
Speaker 1: You know, I'm wondering what was going on in that
21:00
Speaker 1: amount of time. For some reason, Monique, I took the
21:03
Speaker 1: witness to be a male. Don't know why. I don't
21:07
Speaker 1: know why, but I'm wondering if they went up to
21:10
Speaker 1: Ali's car, saw a lone female and tried to get
21:13
Speaker 1: in the car to rape her or robber, and she
21:18
Speaker 1: started backing out and then they fired on her. Maybe
21:22
Speaker 1: they were trying to get in her car, right, because
21:25
Speaker 1: that would explain why her and not the witness. Why
21:28
Speaker 1: do they walk past the witness's car and pick out
21:31
Speaker 1: her car. Guys, I want you to now take a
21:34
Speaker 1: listen to our friends again. At w dB J, seven
21:38
Speaker 1: officials with the East Batterers Parish Corner's Office are ruling
21:40
Speaker 1: her death a homicide, saying she died for multiple gunshot
21:44
Speaker 1: wounds as investigators found her dead inside of her vehicle
21:47
Speaker 1: near the railroad tracks on Government Street. A suspect and
21:50
Speaker 1: motive in this one remain unknown at this time. To
21:53
Speaker 1: Chris like a motto, Chief investigator reporter w b r ZTV, Chris,
21:58
Speaker 1: tell me about that rail crossing, you don't really see
22:04
Speaker 1: a lot of residential homes facing a train trap, which
22:08
Speaker 1: would mean, if that's true, there's not going to be
22:11
Speaker 1: any for instance, ring doorbells catching it. What's around the
22:14
Speaker 1: train trap could give you a scene setter. That area
22:17
Speaker 1: has gone through a huge amount of redevelopment over the
22:20
Speaker 1: last five to ten years, a huge gentrification or a
22:23
Speaker 1: bunch of old buildings that were there that have now
22:26
Speaker 1: become restaurants, and there's a lot of nightlife in that area.
22:30
Speaker 1: It's a great place to be to bring your family,
22:33
Speaker 1: and so for something like this to happen, that is
22:35
Speaker 1: why this community is really because they don't feel safe
22:38
Speaker 1: in a situation that they want to take their families.
22:41
Speaker 1: And then you also have the situation where she's from.
22:44
Speaker 1: She's from twenty miles from south of Baton, Rouge in
22:47
Speaker 1: an area of Ascension Parish called Geismer, and so you
22:51
Speaker 1: have that area of the community that's also reeling from
22:53
Speaker 1: her death. This was a good girl and Baton Rouge.
22:57
Speaker 1: Police told us that they do believe that this was
22:59
Speaker 1: a random act of violence, which makes things particularly scary
23:04
Speaker 1: because if this was random, you now have these monsters
23:07
Speaker 1: that are out on looming in the public that could
23:10
Speaker 1: do it to somebody else, you know, Chris like a mooto.
23:13
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out anything about surveillance video or
23:19
Speaker 1: ring doorbell. I know there was not a surveillance video
23:22
Speaker 1: at the crossing itself. I'd also be curious if they
23:25
Speaker 1: have recovered her cell phone. I mean, let's just say,
23:29
Speaker 1: let's hypothesize, let's spin it out to its logical conclusion. Chris,
23:33
Speaker 1: if these two guys, and the witness says there were two,
23:38
Speaker 1: one in a red hoodie, both in dark clothing, what
23:41
Speaker 1: if they tried to get in her car and she
23:44
Speaker 1: took their picture. I mean, does anybody on the panel
23:47
Speaker 1: have you ever seen someone speeding or they do something
23:50
Speaker 1: crazy and you snap a picture of their license tach,
23:53
Speaker 1: I do it all the time if I see something unusual,
23:58
Speaker 1: I do, yeah, NAPPI jump in, Wendy, both personally and professionally.
24:02
Speaker 1: That is a very modern way of documenting crime. You know,
24:05
Speaker 1: citizens or law enforcements, eyes and ears on the ground,
24:08
Speaker 1: and that is one of the ways that we contribute
24:11
Speaker 1: to crime prevention within our own communities. This young woman,
24:14
Speaker 1: I mean, that would get right into the type of
24:16
Speaker 1: a pattern that we might expect, we might expect for
24:19
Speaker 1: to be savvy enough, especially if it's a safe area,
24:23
Speaker 1: to see something and then document it in preparation for
24:26
Speaker 1: saying something. We see it all the time, Wendy yep,
24:29
Speaker 1: I want to get my hands on that cell phone. Hey,
24:32
Speaker 1: Chris Nakamoto following up on what Wendy Patrick Sadhusti today
24:36
Speaker 1: with doctor Wendy Chris Nakamoto. Is anything taken from her
24:41
Speaker 1: that we know of? Nothing was taken, Absolutely nothing was taken,
24:45
Speaker 1: which is why police are so stumped. They don't know
24:48
Speaker 1: whether or not this was an attempted carjacking, whether it
24:51
Speaker 1: was an attempted robbery because nothing was taken from her vehicle.
24:55
Speaker 1: They don't know if the killer shot her and then
24:59
Speaker 1: got spooped or couldn't get into her car because a
25:01
Speaker 1: lot of cars lock when you put the vehicle in
25:05
Speaker 1: drive these days, and so they don't know if they
25:07
Speaker 1: shot her, tried to get in and couldn't get in,
25:10
Speaker 1: and then got spooked and took off running, but nothing
25:14
Speaker 1: was missing. Looking out a picture of her right now
25:16
Speaker 1: holding a puppy dog. What a smile. Her parents obviously
25:21
Speaker 1: also invested in braces. She's got this beautiful million dollars smile,
25:26
Speaker 1: already had an internship lined up for when she got out.
25:32
Speaker 1: Great grades. The works. Back to you, Chris Mikamoto, at
25:38
Speaker 1: this location, do you think that there were so veillance
25:43
Speaker 1: cameras on the backs on any of these restaurants and
25:47
Speaker 1: bars you were talking about. So we know that there's
25:49
Speaker 1: an audio. We obtained the audio of the weekend that
25:52
Speaker 1: sounds that you hear the gunshots and some screeching, But
25:56
Speaker 1: the audio is just audio. There's no video. So we
26:00
Speaker 1: know that police were out on bicycles. They were handing
26:03
Speaker 1: out bicycles on Friday for their detectives to literally ride
26:07
Speaker 1: that whole area looking for video. And we know that
26:10
Speaker 1: there are a number of bars and restaurants that do
26:13
Speaker 1: have videos. I'm looking specifically at a white building to
26:19
Speaker 1: the left of the crime scene. There's a white building
26:24
Speaker 1: and it looks to be some sort of a you
26:28
Speaker 1: know how you see like a bus stop with a
26:30
Speaker 1: little roof on it. One of those may be nearby.
26:33
Speaker 1: What kind of train was this? By the way, So
26:35
Speaker 1: we have a lot of industry in Baton Rouge, especially
26:37
Speaker 1: on the northern end, So when we talk about train,
26:41
Speaker 1: we're not talking about passenger rail. These are tanker cars
26:45
Speaker 1: things like that that are going to and from in
26:47
Speaker 1: that industrial section gues cargo. So there wouldn't be a
26:50
Speaker 1: whole lot of witnesses around standing at a train stop
26:53
Speaker 1: like a bus stop waiting. I'm looking at a picture
26:57
Speaker 1: of her now on homecoming corps. Just oh, talk about
27:01
Speaker 1: scrubbed in sunshine. Well, of course the family is devastated. Listen,
27:07
Speaker 1: what does your gut tell you about what happened that
27:10
Speaker 1: night in her car? And the only thing that I
27:13
Speaker 1: can really think at this point is it's a bad
27:19
Speaker 1: case of wrong place at the wrong time. You know,
27:24
Speaker 1: she's not anyone that had enemies. We don't think that
27:28
Speaker 1: she was being stalked or followed. They really don't have
27:34
Speaker 1: an explanation at this point. They're trying to find some
27:38
Speaker 1: type of video footage, some kind of surveillance. They're going
27:43
Speaker 1: further back down the road to you know, maybe check
27:46
Speaker 1: those cameras see if someone was falling, or seeing if
27:49
Speaker 1: they can see you know, maybe people walking in the
27:53
Speaker 1: area or something that that could have been involved in this.
27:56
Speaker 1: But as of now, that particular stretch of town, they
28:00
Speaker 1: don't have the surveillance that's necessary. You're hearing Ali's father.
28:05
Speaker 1: I don't know how he has his strength to even speak.
28:10
Speaker 1: He's talking to our friend Martha McCollum on Fox News.
28:14
Speaker 1: I guess he's propelled by seeking justice for his daughter Ali.
28:34
Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace. You know, I know that
28:42
Speaker 1: she was eating fries or Michelle Dufrey, because when her
28:46
Speaker 1: body was found still sitting in her car, she was
28:50
Speaker 1: still in her seat with the fries in her lap.
28:54
Speaker 1: It's not like she was doing anything to intimidate or
28:57
Speaker 1: threaten her shooters in no way at all. That's right, Nancy.
29:01
Speaker 1: I mean, this is someone who has stopped at the
29:03
Speaker 1: train track, minding their own business, eating frauds on their
29:06
Speaker 1: right home. I mean this was senseless and I mean
29:09
Speaker 1: just absolutely a third attack on an innocent person and
29:14
Speaker 1: Canadian businesses Mona and it's very excessive. The shooting funny,
29:19
Speaker 1: I mean the number of shots that were fired exactly, exactly. Guys,
29:23
Speaker 1: take a listen to our friends at inside Edition. As
29:28
Speaker 1: the roadside memorial grows on Government Street near the spot
29:32
Speaker 1: where twenty one year old LSU student Ali Rice was
29:35
Speaker 1: shot and killed early Friday morning, Questions still linger from
29:39
Speaker 1: the community on what happened. Lieutenant Don Coppola with VRPD
29:43
Speaker 1: tells me the motive at this time is still unclear
29:46
Speaker 1: to investigators. Rice was found dead inside her bullet rittled
29:50
Speaker 1: car near the train tracks on Government Street, close to
29:53
Speaker 1: Eddie Robinson Drive. Police say, if you're uneasy about what happened,
29:57
Speaker 1: you can use alternate routes. The heartbroken father of a
30:02
Speaker 1: slain college senior is pleading for help tracking down the killer.
30:06
Speaker 1: It's a great day to be a Griffin. Twenty one
30:09
Speaker 1: year old Ali Rice was shot multiple times through the
30:11
Speaker 1: windshield of her car when it was stopped at a
30:13
Speaker 1: railroad crossing while she was on her way home in
30:16
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The marketing major from Louisiana State University
30:21
Speaker 1: had been on a night out with friends. She was
30:24
Speaker 1: eating fries when a barrage of bullets hit her. You're
30:27
Speaker 1: hearing not only the voice of Ali Rice. She was saying,
30:32
Speaker 1: it's a great day to be a griffin. That was
30:34
Speaker 1: her voice. You're not only hearing inside edition, but our
30:37
Speaker 1: friend Miranda Thomas at w d B J seven straight
30:42
Speaker 1: back out to you, Chris Nakamoto, tell me about what
30:47
Speaker 1: is being done to find Ali's killer. The district attorney
30:51
Speaker 1: told us yesterday it's an all hands on deck thing.
30:54
Speaker 1: I mean, they have not stopped from the moment that
30:57
Speaker 1: she was killed. You have all the intel divisions that
31:01
Speaker 1: are keeping their ear to the ground. They are working
31:03
Speaker 1: over time. You now have the ATF, d EA, FBI
31:07
Speaker 1: all joining in the investigation. You have all of THERPD
31:11
Speaker 1: having multiple meetings talking about Did you say the da
31:14
Speaker 1: is involved? Yes, that's interesting. What do you make of that,
31:18
Speaker 1: Wendy Patcheck that the d EA is involved. What I
31:21
Speaker 1: make of it is that there's more of the investigation
31:24
Speaker 1: than they're able to tell us, because, as you noted earlier,
31:27
Speaker 1: they don't want to compromise the integrity of ongoing leads,
31:30
Speaker 1: so they're probably following up on other leads, other information
31:33
Speaker 1: and intel that came in from other sources, but it
31:36
Speaker 1: is very interesting, and you know, our ears perk up
31:39
Speaker 1: when we heard an agency like that was called in
31:42
Speaker 1: with what originally looked like just some sort of a
31:44
Speaker 1: murder investigation. It's never that straightforward. There's always more to
31:48
Speaker 1: the story. I will never forget the first triple homicide
31:51
Speaker 1: I prosecuted, Wendy. I was out working night in day
31:55
Speaker 1: two and three o'clock in the morning at that playground
31:59
Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier. That is where the triple
32:01
Speaker 1: homicide went down. Three young boys, really young, like fifteen
32:07
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen were shot dead around midnight eleven thirty pm
32:12
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night on that playground, and I found
32:17
Speaker 1: out well into the investigation. Nobody wanted to talk because
32:20
Speaker 1: they were afraid that the FEDS had a d EA
32:24
Speaker 1: investigation go on at the same time. And of course
32:27
Speaker 1: the FEDS would not share any information at all, no
32:31
Speaker 1: matter how much I begged. I think they were letting
32:34
Speaker 1: me do their dirty work for them, and I did so.
32:38
Speaker 1: When you bring in the FEDS, the d EA, Drug
32:40
Speaker 1: Enforcement Agency, and the FBI there, I think you're right, Wendy,
32:45
Speaker 1: there's more going on than meets the eye. Of course,
32:48
Speaker 1: the parents absolutely devastated. Take a listen to our friends
32:56
Speaker 1: at inside editions speaking to Ally's dad. Ali always had
33:01
Speaker 1: a smile on her face. She posted videos dancing with
33:07
Speaker 1: her dad. How close were you? Video messages me at work,
33:14
Speaker 1: you know, all day long and we sent time together.
33:17
Speaker 1: Her slang is baffling police and no motive or suspects
33:21
Speaker 1: have been named. Have police given you any idea who
33:25
Speaker 1: who could have done this? At this point, there's really
33:29
Speaker 1: not any leads. Okay, let me go out to you,
33:32
Speaker 1: doctor Angela Arnold, help me out. Give me your analysis.
33:35
Speaker 1: My analysis from what I've heard today is that this
33:39
Speaker 1: was a random act of violence, in all likelihood perpetrated
33:44
Speaker 1: by some sort of gang initiation. I can't imagine anything
33:50
Speaker 1: that this beautiful girl did to bring this on herself.
33:53
Speaker 1: She was just a completely unlucky victim and thus, and
33:58
Speaker 1: it's hideous when you hear the words from police saying, quote,
34:03
Speaker 1: she's with the coroner now, she didn't make it. It's
34:07
Speaker 1: the most devastating words you can ever hear. That's a
34:10
Speaker 1: quote from her father, Paul Rice, the family, Paul, her
34:17
Speaker 1: stepmom k Rice, her mother Angela, her stepfather Travis devastated.
34:25
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine, doctor Angie. We always hear you
34:29
Speaker 1: should never have to bury your child. I hate to
34:32
Speaker 1: even say the words, because all I can think of
34:34
Speaker 1: her my children, John, David and Lucy. And you know,
34:38
Speaker 1: doctor Angie, I thought I knew everything about grief and
34:42
Speaker 1: mourning and devastation when my fiancee was murdered. Now that
34:47
Speaker 1: I have children, I can't imagine anything worse than having
34:53
Speaker 1: your child murdered. Well, because Nancy, as you said, all
34:56
Speaker 1: we do are entire Having a child die in anyway,
35:00
Speaker 1: I just can't even imagine that. But murdered and shot
35:05
Speaker 1: multiple times. You know, she may have been unrecognizable, We
35:09
Speaker 1: don't know. It was a horrific way for that beautiful
35:12
Speaker 1: girl to die. And I'm not sure how any parent
35:17
Speaker 1: ever truly gets over that, Nancy, because we spend our
35:20
Speaker 1: entire lives trying to protect them. We opened that little
35:24
Speaker 1: door to give them some freedom when they go to college.
35:26
Speaker 1: And then she's getting ready to graduate from college. We've
35:30
Speaker 1: done everything just beautifully, and then something like this befalls her. Really,
35:34
Speaker 1: my parents, blessings and beauties are never really over here.
35:39
Speaker 1: She is about to graduate and start an internship out
35:43
Speaker 1: in the big, bad world, and this has to happen
35:45
Speaker 1: to their baby. And your children are always your babies,
35:49
Speaker 1: aren't they. They're always your babies. My little girl turns nineteen,
35:54
Speaker 1: I still see her as my baby. And hearing this story,
35:59
Speaker 1: I'm you're always scared to death that something like that
36:02
Speaker 1: can happen to your own child, because it's out there.
36:05
Speaker 1: It's out there in this main world that we live in. Now,
36:08
Speaker 1: I want you to hear. Ali. Take a listen to
36:12
Speaker 1: our friends from News Nation, the family distraught over who
36:16
Speaker 1: could have killed a young woman whose love of life
36:19
Speaker 1: they called contagious Alison Nicole Rice, And I'm going to
36:22
Speaker 1: wake up at eight thirty tomorrow and how coffee was,
36:25
Speaker 1: how lovely your roommates, because that's just what I want
36:28
Speaker 1: to do. It's a whole lot. Rice's uncle, Mike, spoke
36:32
Speaker 1: with News Nation today. He says the family has been
36:35
Speaker 1: given no answers. Oh I had no good blood, no animies.
36:41
Speaker 1: We truly thank us for random micro violence. Some mobsters
36:45
Speaker 1: just take a lot with some pure and innocent chart.
36:49
Speaker 1: At the time of Rice's shooting, police believe the LSU
36:53
Speaker 1: senior was stopped waiting for a train to pass guys
36:56
Speaker 1: take a listen to our friends WAFB. Well, many parents
37:00
Speaker 1: greeted their graduates. After today's or So College of Business ceremony.
37:04
Speaker 1: The parents of Ali Rice walk out with just her
37:07
Speaker 1: diploma in hand. This is a difficult day. Miss. Today
37:11
Speaker 1: is three months to the day of Ali's murder. This
37:15
Speaker 1: was a day we were all looking forward to for her,
37:18
Speaker 1: you know, to honor her for all her hard work
37:22
Speaker 1: and what it would take to actually graduate from college.
37:25
Speaker 1: And you know, she had that day stolen from her,
37:28
Speaker 1: as did we. Alie's father, her mother, stepparents, brother, and
37:33
Speaker 1: two roommates attended today's graduation where Ali received her degree posthumously.
37:38
Speaker 1: Paul Rice says, today is a difficult day during a
37:41
Speaker 1: difficult time of year. I think we focus a lot
37:44
Speaker 1: more on our positive memories of Ali. H You know,
37:48
Speaker 1: this time of year, a lot of those things pop up.
37:50
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people are remembering her, a
37:54
Speaker 1: lot of people are reaching out, and all of that helps.
37:57
Speaker 1: But sticking together helps them get through the hard days.
38:00
Speaker 1: We just try to take everything one day at a time.
38:03
Speaker 1: Right now, we're waiting on, you know, any kind of answers,
38:06
Speaker 1: any kind of hope. Rice says, he has not been
38:08
Speaker 1: told any updates on the investigation into his daughter's murder.
38:12
Speaker 1: It's almost the worse when the act is random, because
38:15
Speaker 1: it's kind of like your whole life is devastated by
38:19
Speaker 1: the luck of the draw. The tipline two two five, three, four, four, seven,
38:24
Speaker 1: eight six seven, repeat two to five, three, four, four, seven, eight,
38:31
Speaker 1: six seven. Our prayers with Ali's family as we pray
38:38
Speaker 1: the killers are brought to justice. Goodbye friend,
