  Speaker 1: Hi everyone, my name is Joshua Miles and I'm guessing
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: if you're watching this then you are a massive true
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: crime enthusiast just like me. For those of you who
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: are in the US, who are avid true crime fans,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you'll probably have heard about CrimeCon. Now CrimeCon is the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: world's number one true crime event and I am delighted
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to let you know that CrimeCon has made the jump
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: across the pond and has arrived in the UK.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And I do hope that I will.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Get to see all of your lovely faces there.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: A string of vicious bank robberies grows more violent with
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: every horror, then ends in a deadly shootout. With a
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: dangerous man on the run, police conduct an all-out search
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: for a fugitive so desperate he will stop at nothing
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to make his escape.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Two armed bank robbers hit a Seattle bank, taking over $ 150, 000.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: But before they can escape, police confront them and the.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Pair splits up.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: As authorities search block by block, they learn one was
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a career criminal with a long.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: History of violence.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I'm Jim Kallstrom, former head of the FBI's New York office.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: The suspect was smart and desperate to stay free. Agents
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: chased him through the Caribbean and across cyberspace, determined to
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: put an end to his career.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: One of the FBI's primary responsibilities is investigating bank robberies.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And they see more of these crimes in Seattle than
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: just about any other place in the country. The FBI
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: office there investigates every bank robbery in the state of Washington.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Special Agent Mike Adams runs Seattle's robbery division.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Over the last five or six years, we've averaged 300
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: bank robberies a year. primarily here in the Seattle or
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: King County area. Bank robberies are a big problem here
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: in this area.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: The FBI cites a high rate of drug addiction and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the fact that Washington has a relatively large number of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: bank branches as reasons for this. The Seattle agents see
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: two basic types of bank heists. Most are one-on-one robberies,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: when someone approaches a teller with a note in quiet
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: demand for cash.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Not necessarily a robber who cares to draw attention to
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: him or herself by being extremely vocal or attempting to
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: take over the banking operations.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: The other kind of robbery is more rare and more dangerous.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The takeover.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: A takeover robbery is where we have one or more
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: robbers who enter a bank and attempt to take over
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the banking operations through various means. Either ordering people to
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: the floor or ordering bank employees away from the teller counters.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: More often than not, in a takeover style bank robbery,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: the bank robber or robbers are armed with firearms. So
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: those are considered very violent as opposed to a one-on-one
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: style bank robbery.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Agents note that whenever takeover bandits get away with it,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they will usually rob again, becoming bolder and more violent
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: with each new attempt. On May 17, 2000, One particularly
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: vicious string of takeover style robberies begins at a downtown
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Seattle bank. Working quickly, they disappear in minutes with thousands
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of dollars in cash. A week later, thieves hit another
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: area bank, brandishing bigger guns. intensifying their assault on unsuspecting
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: patrons and employees. Two weeks later, robbers strike again with
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: even more aggression. Since takeover robberies are rare, agents believe
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the crimes were all perpetrated by the same bandits.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: We did see bank robberies that did appear to be
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: similar in nature in terms of the level of violence,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: in terms of large amounts of money. Certainly a robbery
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: of that nature is going to peak our attention because
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: of the significant level of violence.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yet each time, the robbers escape cleanly in stolen getaway cars,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: leaving no eyewitnesses who can ID them. The FBI is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: facing a pair of seasoned criminals who grow more aggressive
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: with each attack. Recognizing a pattern of behavior, Authorities feel
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: these violent robbers will turn deadly. Six days later, on
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the morning of June 22nd, 2000, their worst fears are realized.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Two men head down Aurora Avenue, then turn into the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: parking lot of Wells Fargo Bank. The people inside have
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: no idea what's coming.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: The gunmen corral the customers and employees.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But they miss one. The robbers are organized. One stands guard.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: while the other finds a teller who can access the vault.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: The manager connects with police emergency. A dispatcher puts out
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: an urgent call about armed robbers still inside the bank.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Seattle officer Wesley Buxton responds.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: It was a bank robbery in progress. That's a little
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: bit of an unusual call. We usually get bank alarms
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: as opposed to bank robbery in progress.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Buxton races to the bank. Inside the vault, the thief
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: takes all the cash his two backpacks can hold. The
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: teller follows orders, hoping the gunman won't kill him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: No phone calls or nothing, you understand me?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: None of that!
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Buxton kills his siren as he approaches the bank.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: I was the first one on the scene. There was
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: a motorcycle sitting out in front of the bank. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: believe it was up on the sidewalk. You really couldn't
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: see in the bank.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Following procedure, the officer finds cover and waits for backup.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Officer Rick Sprecher arrives and gets into position. The bandits emerge,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: unaware of the officers. They cannot get the motorcycle started.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: They sat there like they were frozen for a minute
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: in time. I guess trying to figure out by the motorcycle,
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: would it start? And then they jumped off the motorcycle
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: and they started running.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Away from him. Then one suspect trips.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: I had my gun on him and told him to
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: stay down.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Buxton stays with the first gunman. Officer Sprecher orders the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: second to stop. But the man disappears. Then Officer Buxton
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is suddenly faced with the unthinkable.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: It seemed like slow motion. I've heard the tape recording
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: of it, and the shots were fired in quick succession.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: But at that time, it seemed like there were even
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: maybe one or two seconds between the actual shots.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Don't move!
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Put your weapon down!
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Sprecher returns fire. Finally stopping the gunman. Officers contain one suspect.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: The other is gone.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Officer down!
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Officer down!
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Officer Sprecher's call brings an intense law enforcement response. Emergency
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: medical technicians work to stabilize Officer Buxton, while Officer Sprecher
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: quickly briefs detectives.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: The man who shot the officer is dead.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: The hunt for the escaped suspect begins immediately. A dispatcher
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: broadcasts a description of the fleeing gunman on all police channels.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: FBI agents rush to the bank. Among them, Agent Mike Adams.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: On my way to the bank... I did hear an
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: officer was shot and was down. It was obviously a
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: very violent takeover-style robbery.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Adams recognizes that these initial reports are similar to the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: three earlier robberies and that the violence has escalated even further.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: With one armed gunman still on the loose, authorities quickly
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: move to contain the situation.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: There were several people, bystanders, who were beginning to gather
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: around So Seattle Police immediately took control of the scene
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: because of the imminent danger and potential threat that still existed.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The Seattle Police Department directs their homicide unit to the scene,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: including Detective Paul Seguro.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Anytime there's an officer-involved shooting where a Seattle Police officer
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: fires a weapon, we are called to investigate.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: All law enforcement agencies begin working together to develop a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: plan to find the escaped gunman. Seattle police form an
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: emergency command post to coordinate the effort. Let's wrap it
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: up right now and take off, all right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: The members of our SWAT team had already started a
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: search of the inner perimeter area.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Moving toward the general direction of the fleeing suspect, SWAT
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: methodically searches every hiding space. They are careful, knowing that
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the gunman is desperate and could be anywhere.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Coming out, let's go!
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: We're right behind him, let's go! Concerned for public safety,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: law enforcement swarms the area. Roads are blocked, traffic rerouted.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Detective Sergeant David Ritter.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: The bank robbery and subsequent police shooting led to a
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: tremendous police presence in the area. We had dogs, we
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: had the King County helicopter, the special weapons team.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: The SWAT team goes door to door warning everyone in
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the business district.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Businesses were shut down. We closed all the local businesses
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: for the safety of the people because the suspect was
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: still at large.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Okay? You guys are right. Just do that, please.
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: After treating gunshot wounds in Officer Buxton's left arm and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: right shoulder, the emergency medical technicians take him to the hospital.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Both wounds, the bullet went in and out, so it
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: was just a matter of clearing, cleaning it up, making
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: sure there wasn't anything that would cause any kind of infection.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Special Agent Adams searches the downed bank robber for clues.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I pulled out his identification, which said his name was
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Daniel Del Fierro. He was not someone known to the
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: FBI at that time, but nonetheless, certainly a name for
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: us to conduct further follow-up investigation.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Investigators locate the. 380 semi-automatic handgun used to shoot Buxton.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: In a belt pack, they find a. 38 revolver. Agents
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: also recover two backpacks full of cash.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: A lot of the money in there was still in
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: shrink wrap delivered from the Federal Reserve Bank. Later, the
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: money found in both backpacks came up to well over $ 151, 000.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: That is a lot of money, much more than is
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: typically taken during a bank robbery.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Police run the plates of the motorcycle and learn it
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: will not help them ID the escaped suspect. The bike
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: was stolen. FBI agents interview bank employees and customers, searching
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for clues that might help them locate the second gunman.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: But the robbers never used any names, and no one
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: saw their faces. An evidence technician recovers a footprint left
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: on the teller counter. But it is the only physical
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: evidence investigators find at the scene. The heist was clean.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Local police pull up the record of the dead robber,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Daniel Delfiero. He was fresh out of prison, having served
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: time for manslaughter and assault. Police continue to hunt down
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Delfiero's accomplice. Within hours of the robbery, they pick up
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: his trail. Detectives respond to a nearby junkyard where officers
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: have recovered evidence.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: We are backtracking, finding the items of evidence that were discarded.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: As he's running, he's getting rid of his motorcycle he
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: had on, gloves. It's sort of like the trail that
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: he left behind. He continues running, probably another 50 feet.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: He took off his jacket. There's a high chain link
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: fence and barbed wire on top of that. There's also
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: a handgun, a. 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol covered close to
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: the jacket.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Investigators suspect that the gunman was covering his trail by
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: leaving behind evidence and any clothing that would later identify him.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But just as the suspect's trail appears to be getting cold,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: it heats up again.
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: I'll be right there.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Gotta go. Investigators head to a nearby apartment building. responding
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to a call made by the building's manager.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Excuse me, ma'am.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: You don't want to call the police earlier.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: She had called police after finding fresh blood outside an apartment.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I went upstairs to my apartment and noticed the blood.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: On the stairwell.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: We surmised that the second suspect must have cut his
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: hand going over the fence.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: If it is the gunman's blood, he could still be
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: in the building, armed. and desperate. Police call for SWAT.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And a nearby team arrives immediately. With a dangerous and
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: elusive gunman still on the loose, police hope they now
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: have him cornered. Following a Seattle bank robbery in June 2000,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a gun battle leaves one police officer injured and one
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: son dead. The second armed suspect flees on foot and disappears.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Police follow a blood trail to a nearby apartment building.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Thinking the gunman might be holed up there, a SWAT
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: team checks the place. One hallway, one apartment at a time.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: But they find nothing.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Once the building is cleared, investigators secure a sample of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the blood for later testing. Authorities pour every resource into
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the intense manhunt, according to Detective Sergeant David Ritter.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: Because of the seriousness of the robbery, every available officer
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: that we could find was involved in this hunt for
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: the second suspect.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Police are cautious. knowing from experience that someone willing to
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: shoot a cop is far more dangerous than the average criminal.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: FBI agents approach residents, asking them what they've seen and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: warning them about the fugitive.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: The suspect was obviously very dangerous, and the people in
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: the immediate area were afraid.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Tactical officers continue to check buildings, alleys. Any place the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: suspect could hide. They instruct every business in a 15-block
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: area to shut down and lock up. In no time,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: authorities seal off one of Seattle's busiest shopping districts, bringing
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the entire area to a standstill. Investigators have identified the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: suspect killed during the shootout as Danny Delfiero. He is
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the investigator's best lead for locating the second robber, King
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: County Deputy Prosecutor Steve Fogg.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: So we got an immediate warrant for his residence, his car,
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: to try to locate whatever information we could about him,
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: and through that, who he might have done the crime with.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: At Delfiero's home, investigators meet a woman who had lived
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: with him. She says she knows nothing about the robbery,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: but helps them compile a list of her housemate's associates.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Investigators then search Del Fierro's home, but find nothing that
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: can help them identify the escaped suspect. Across town, Officers
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: respond to a call from a man who claims he
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: was the target of an attempted carjacking. It is just
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: north of the building where the blood was found. The
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: driver explains that minutes earlier, he was leaving his apartment complex.
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: All of a sudden, he saw this guy jump out
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: in front of him and slam both of his hands
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: down on the hood and force him to stop. The
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: guy said, hey, I've been in a fight, and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: need you to help me.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Can you give me a ride?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: The man became more aggressive.
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: He put his hand into the car, tried to grab
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: the keys, and tried to take the car himself. When
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: it became apparent that that was not going to work,
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: he became quite vicious, you know, within a matter of seconds.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: The owner of the car was able to fight him off,
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: push him out the door, and then just jet off
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: as fast as he could.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: He reported death.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: What had happened to a police officer.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Police are convinced the carjacker is the robber they're pursuing.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: The victim gives them a detailed description of his assailant
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and the direction he was going.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: He was moving to the north, so that moved the
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: search in that direction. We got the description out immediately,
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: and the media was helpful, and they got it out
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: to the public as fast as we had it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: For three hours, investigators find no sign of the fugitive
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: until a 911 operator gets a call. A man reports
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: that he and his wife had been held hostage that afternoon.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: The intruder had fled, but they think he was the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: bank robber they heard about on the news. Investigators race
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to a residence north of the carjacking attempt. The couple
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: explains what happened. Three hours earlier, the woman was leaving
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: her house when she saw a man in her truck.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: He was calm and told her he'd been in a
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: fight and needed her help. She didn't fall for it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: At this point, the police and the media were circling
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: the area. She pointed up to the helicopters and said, no,
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: I think actually they're looking for you. And again, the
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: personality changed just like that. The woman is not somebody
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: who's just going to roll.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Over for this guy. She tried to fight back.
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: He grabbed a knife, let her know that he was capable.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Of using.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: It.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: He signaled to her that his own survival was at
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: stake and he was going to be as brutal as
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: he had to be.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: Where's the tape?
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Tell me right now, where's the tape?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Do you have any rope? Don't move. As he searched
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: for something with which to tie her up, her husband
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: came home.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Honey.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, where are you?
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I'm home. Honey, what's going on?
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: The husband then tried to intervene on behalf of his wife,
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: and this guy punched him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Stop moving.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Stop moving. Give me your hands.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Give me your hands.
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: At this point, they were just doing what they needed
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: to do to survive. And so they said, I think
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: they felt like if they were tied up, at least
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: they wouldn't be shot or anything like that.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: The couple could hear the assailant making calls on his
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: cell phone in another room. Then he calmly got a
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: beer from the refrigerator and began watching accounts of his
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: own robbery on television. He seemed transfixed by live images
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of the extensive manhunt.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: About two and a half, three hours after they were
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: tied up, there was a knock on the window. and
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: he sort of ran out the door and that was
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: the last they ever saw of him.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: By the time police respond, it's clear the suspect has
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: slipped through their dragnet.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Once we interviewed the people in the house, then it
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: was pretty obvious that he had gotten away. The intensive
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: search ended When it was obvious that he had fled
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: the scene and he had had some help from somebody else,
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: probably a car, so the actual physical search of the
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: area was pretty much stopped.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: At that time. Investigators process the entire house, collecting fingerprints
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: and blood samples. They hope the evidence will help them
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: identify a dangerous criminal, a man who will do anything
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to escape the law. An armed bank robber is on
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the run following a deadly shooting in which police kill
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: his partner. During his flight, the fugitive assaults a couple,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: then holds them hostage in their Seattle home while he
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: waits for a getaway driver to help him escape. FBI
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Special Agent Gary Shainline knows this fugitive is especially dangerous.
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: The nature of the act itself of bank robbery is
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: very violent, but in trying to effect an escape, his
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: partner and he were involved in the shooting of a
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: police officer and also the taking hostage of innocent citizens.
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: So the stakes in this particular case were definitely higher.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Detective Paul Segura begins canvassing the neighbors of the slain robber,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Danny Delfiero. One man tells Segura he had seen television
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: reports about the stolen motorcycle used in the robbery, and
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: he recognized it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: He saw Delfiero with the motorcycle prior to the bank
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: robbery taking place.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: The man tells Segura he saw the bike on a
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: tow truck.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: And this individual had seen another individual inside the truck
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: with Del Ferrell the day before.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Seguro thinks the tow truck driver might be the second robber.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: He asks the neighbor if he knows who he is.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: The man says he had never seen him before. The
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: owners of the bank that was robbed tried to help,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: according to FBI Special Agent Mike Adams.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: That very day, the bank came to us and wanted
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: to offer a reward for information that would lead to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the identity arrest and eventual conviction of the person or
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: persons responsible for that arms bank robbery.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Agents hope the large reward will make people more willing
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: to talk.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Myself, other FBI agents spent many long hours attempting to
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: gather as much information as we could.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Investigators tracked down every possible lead trying to get more
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: information on Del Fierro's known associates.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: We drove to several different addresses and locations in our
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: attempt to interview different people who we thought might be
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: able to lead to the identity as well as the
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: location of the second suspect on this bank robbery.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Every lead becomes a dead end. Investigators finally get a
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: break when officers begin processing the evidence left behind by
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the fleeing robber.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: Inside the jacket was this piece of paper that had
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: a photocopy of a driver's license that belonged to a
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: young 16-year-old girl, and then a lot of information about
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: who she was.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Police begin looking for the young woman.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: They called the best number they had for her, which
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: was her dad. And her dad said, well, she's at
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: the movies. And they said, well, you know, you need
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: to get her. So she came and talked to the police,
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: and she said that as soon as her dad came
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: into the movie theater, she immediately knew what it was about.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: They show her the photocopied license and ask how the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: bank robbers got it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: She told us that she was approached by a person
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: she went to high school with. The person she went
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: to high school with said, I have an individual that
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: has large sums of money. He needs ID and social
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: security numbers. In return, you'll get a couple thousand dollars
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: if you let us use your ID and social security number.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: The young woman explains the information was to be used
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: to set up bank accounts to launder stolen money. She
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: gives detectives the name of her high school friend, the
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: middleman for the ID fraud.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So what is this all about?
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Detectives track down the man. and try to get him
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to cooperate.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: We contacted him early morning hours. He was somewhat reluctant
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: to talk to us at first, but then as we
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: started talking, we finally started to tell us about who
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: it was that asked him to obtain the identification and
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: social security numbers.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: His name is Aristotle. He tells detectives the man's name
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: is Aristotle Marr.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: We then thought that it's very possible that Aristotle Marr
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: is the person we're looking for because he was obviously
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: looking for a way to launder money in the hopes
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: of getting legitimate funds in return.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Investigators are convinced they're on the right track when the
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: middleman tells investigators that Marr owns a towing service. Police
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: conduct a background check. DMV records reveal that there is
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: a tow truck registered to Marr and that it matches
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the one described by Del Fierro's neighbor. Investigators return to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Del Fierro's home to ask his old roommate if she
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: knows Aristotle Marr. She says Marr and Del Fierro had
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: been friends since childhood.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Aristotle Marr.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: His name had come up in two different sources or
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: two different ways during the investigation. So now we started
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: to focus on Aristotle Marr as being the second suspect
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: involved in the bank robbery.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Authorities check Marr's police record. It's clean, except for one
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: assault charge he received as a minor. Tax records show
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Marr runs a successful towing business and already owns property
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: worth $ 400, 000. Police are surprised to learn he was a
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: star athlete in high school. graduating six years earlier with
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: a 4.0 grade point average.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: The first thing everybody said about him was how smart
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: he was. And you could see he had a lot
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: of potential in life, but was impatient enough. And I
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: think that that fed directly into the greed that motivated
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: these crimes.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Steve Fogg subpoenas the cell phone records of Marr and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Del Fierro. He discovers calls made between the two suspects
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: prior to the robbery. circumstantial evidence that they were possibly
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: in the planning stages.
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: Danny Delfiore and Aristotle Marr were talking, you know, ten
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: times an hour in the days and weeks that preceded this.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Police then ask witnesses to confirm Marr's identity. To do this,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: they create a photo montage.
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: Typically what happens is you have six photos and the
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: person who's the suspect is one of the six. Here,
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: the police put together a 12-person montage. They really went
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: the extra mile just to make absolutely certain that we
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: had the right guy.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Authorities show the photo montage to the woman who was
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: assaulted and held hostage in her home.
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: And she didn't have any hesitation at all. She picked
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: out Mr. Marr immediately.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Later, her husband and the carjacking victim would also pick
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: out Marr as their attacker.
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: With that taken together with all the circumstantial evidence, we
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: were quite confident that Aristotle Maher was the guy we
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: were looking for.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Authorities secure an arrest warrant for Maher and a search
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: warrant for his home. Knowing Maher's volatile tendencies, police prepare
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: for what could be a violent confrontation. On June 22, 2000,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: a pair of alleged serial bank robbers hit another Seattle bank.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: During a shootout with police, one bandit is killed and
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the other escapes. The dead robber is Daniel Del Fierro.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Authorities believe the fugitive is Aristotle Marr. Fearing a violent confrontation,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: police prepare to serve arrest and search warrants with the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: help of a tactical unit. With the team are homicide detectives,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Paul Segura and David Ritter.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: When we went to the residence, we had members of
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: the SWAT team, multiple Seattle police units to assist us
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: in securing the premise.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Room by room, SWAT searches the house. they find no
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: sign of Marr. Homicide detective Paul Segura.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: Once the home is secured, myself and the rest of
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: the homicide unit went in and started searching through the home.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: They look for any evidence that can tie Marr to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: the robbery or provide a clue to his whereabouts. In
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: a hidden storage area, they find remnants of an arsenal.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Look at that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Look at that. Detectives recover empty containers for various types
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: of handguns. Although they do find a few weapons, most
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: of the guns are gone.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: There was different types of ammunition for long guns, shotguns.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: There was ammunition for handguns.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Detectives begin looking at the bullets more closely. and uncover
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: an important piece of evidence.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: We found ammunition that matched ammunition that we found at
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: the scene of the bank robbery.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Authorities also discover another lead, documents that show frequent travel
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: to and from Jamaica by Marr and several associates.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: Also, there was small photographs and templates for the making
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: of what appeared to be false identification.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Some of them appear familiar here. Investigators suspect that Marr
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: may have plans to flee the country under a false name.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: During the search at Marr's home, authorities discover a second
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: house on the property. Agents immediately file a search warrant
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: for the place and set up surveillance while they wait
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: for the warrant to be processed. For a week, authorities
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: watch people come and go but see no sign of
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the robbery suspect. When a judge finally issues the warrant,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: SWAT goes in. What they find spins the investigation in
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: another direction. The building is a storage unit for stolen goods.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: We found numerous boxes, brand new appliances, riding lawnmowers that
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: were brand new, refrigerators, numerous cellular phones, and just all
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: kinds of items that were still intact, brand new.
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: Still in the box.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Investigators find packing lists still attached to the items, indicating
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: they came from local home improvement stores.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: It was obvious to us that Aristotle Maher was involved
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: in a bigger criminal enterprise than just bank robberies.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: The items were large.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: There were appliances. There were pallets of windows. Big things,
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: stuff that somebody doesn't go in and shoplift. I mean,
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: these were big items and showed that there had to
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: be some pretty sophisticated means to obtain this property. It
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: was obvious that we needed help from our burglary and
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: theft people. They coordinated the recovery of the property.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: The burglary and theft division worked with representatives from the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: local stores to identify more than $ 100, 000 worth of stolen goods.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: Representatives provided a big, large movie van, and all the
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: items that were identified as being stolen or suspicious were
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: then loaded in the back of the movie van and taken.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: Off the property.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Investigators suspect that Marr must have had help obtaining and
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: selling the items.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: We believe a lot of the stolen property was sent
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: to Jamaica. There just was some indication, some receipts, shipping receipts, etc.,
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: that showed a large amount of household goods going to Jamaica.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Authorities intensify their search for the alleged crime ringleader, Aristotle Marr.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: The Seattle FBI's Fugitive Task Force takes the lead. Special
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Agent Gary Shanline.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: Well, we started with the fundamentals by contacting his family
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: and associates in the hopes of finding that person that
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: could give us the information that would lead to a
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: safe and swift apprehension.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: But every person agents interview claims no knowledge of Marr's whereabouts.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Within weeks, the search for Marr begins to take its
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: toll on the fugitive. In an unexpected bold move, A
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: group of MAR supporters, including his lawyer, holds a press
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: conference proclaiming his innocence. They charge police have falsely accused
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: him because of his association with Daniel Delfiero. Agents speak
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: with lawyers about arranging surrender, but instead hear a preposterous claim.
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: We tried to have him turn himself in in a
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: safe manner, in a controlled environment. and they said that
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: he was afraid that he was gonna be killed by
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: the local police.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Marr remains a fugitive. The FBI takes a new approach.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: They seek the help of a national television crime show
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: advertising a $ 25, 000 reward for information leading to Marr's arrest.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: The tips pour in. One caller claims he's been in
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: contact with Marr through a popular web-based instant messaging system.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Agents subpoena the Internet provider for details on the instant
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: messaging account and receive transcripts of the online conversations.
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: Through the content of the dialogue on the instant messaging communication,
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: it was logical to believe that one of the participants
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: was Aristotle Marr.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: The company provides agents with the address of the computer used.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: We approached it with a belief that it was possible that...
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: that Marr could be there at that time.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Open up.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Armed with a search warrant, they confront a man who
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: they recognize as a known associate of Marr. You sure? Yeah,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, sir. He says Marr isn't there. No? Agents
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: conduct a thorough search for any evidence that could prove
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the fugitive had been in the apartment, but they find nothing.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Agents confiscate the computer and question. They eventually determined that
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Marr had probably never used the computer, that it had
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: been the associate pretending to be Marr on the instant
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: messaging system. The investigator's latest lead is a dead end.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: That search really didn't glean any further information regarding Aristotle's whereabouts.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: The FBI continues surveillance at the houses of family and friends,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: but soon realize Marr may never return.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: You know, unlike your garden variety bank robber, Aristotle Maher
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: did have some financial means. He had owned property at
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: a rental house, and I'm sure that those assets and
• 41:32
  Speaker 9: those means helped him in his fugitive status.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: An informant calls the FBI with a tip that appears
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: to support what agents already fear.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: A confidential source indicated that he had fled under an alias,
• 41:47
  Speaker 9: that he had not just cross a state line, but
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: actually had fled the country and that he had fled
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: to Jamaica.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: If Maher has indeed left the country under another name,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: he might be impossible to find. The FBI is now
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: facing their toughest obstacle in a case that appears impossible
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to crack. The FBI continues to hunt for bank robbery
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: suspect Aristotle Maher. They believe he fled to Jamaica under
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: an assumed name. But the FBI cannot simply go after him,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: according to Special Agent Gary Shainline.
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: We don't have any police authority in other countries, so
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: there are FBI representatives and there's U.S. Marshals in Jamaica
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: that liaise with Jamaican authorities, and I was providing them
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: with all the information that we were gleaning from our
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: investigation here. giving them names and points of contact, possible
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: locations that were worthy of investigation in Jamaica in the
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: pursuit of Marr.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Investigating Marr's whereabouts in Jamaica is difficult. He's well connected
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: on the island and has a lot of money to
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: help him disappear.
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: We're confident that through those resources that he was able
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: to maintain a low profile and have different places to
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: go to to hide himself.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Informants report occasional sightings of the fugitive, but he eludes capture.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Agents believe he is moving from house to house under
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: cover of night, supported by a loyal group of associates.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Following the leads from agents in the United States, authorities
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: in Jamaica relentlessly pursue the fugitive. They contact every known
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: associate of Aristotle Marr. They're uncooperative, but authorities keep them
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: under surveillance.
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: The marshals were watching everything they did down in Jamaica.
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: They made it very clear that they were not going
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: to go away until Mr. Maher returned to the United
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: States and answered to these charges.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: In Seattle, King County Deputy Prosecutor Steve Fogg decides to
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: file several charges against the fugitive based on the abundance
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: of circumstantial evidence already in hand.
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: We charged him with an array of counts that reflected
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: the full nature of this crime spree. We charged him
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: with robbery in the first degree with a firearm enhancement
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: because he was armed when that happened. We charged him
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: as an accomplice with Danny Delfiero to the shooting of
• 44:34
  Speaker 10: Officer Buxton. We charged him with attempt robbery too, which
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: is a formal way of saying attempted carjacking. And then
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: kidnappings because they were essentially kidnapped and held hostage in
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: their own basement.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Steve Fogg also suspects Marr is involved in an international
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: theft ring, but decides not to press charges.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: Marr was already looking at so much time that the
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: amount of additional time that would be added by this
• 45:08
  Speaker 10: theft ring would be negligible. I mean, you're talking about
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: a year or two on a guy who's looking at,
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: you know, 30, 40, 50 years in prison. So we
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: did not charge Mr.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Marr for that. Authorities intensify their search for Maher. Seattle
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: homicide detective David Ritter.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: We kept the pressure up. I mean, they felt our presence.
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: They made several complaints that we were harassing them. But
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: we weren't. We were conducting an investigation of a very
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: violent crime and we wanted to solve it. We wanted
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: him in custody.
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: It got the whole.
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: Situation probably too hot for him. He wasn't having much
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: fun anymore.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: After seven months, the constant pressure pays off. On February 7th, 2001,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Aristotle Marr shocks police, walking into the King County Jail
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: with his lawyer. Go up to.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: The counter, put your hands where I can see them.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Seattle Police Detective Paul Seguro had chased Marr from the beginning.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Sergeant Christopher, this is Tebow down at the watch desk.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Aristotle Maher just turned himself in.
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: I was surprised that Aristotle Maher had actually took it
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: upon himself to turn himself in. We tried to talk
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: to Aristotle Maher, interview him about the robberies, where he'd been.
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: He did not wish to talk about any aspects of
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: the investigation at all.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Authorities believe he has come back to take the pressure
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: off his associates and because he is sure the charges
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: will never stick.
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: He was quite confident, in fact, probably cocky, that this
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: would be a case that he could beat in court.
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: He could come back, beat this case, and kill two
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: birds with one stone.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: At his arraignment, Marr pleads not guilty to all charges.
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: One advantage that Mr. Marr had by fleeing was he
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: could sit back and watch our case develop, and I
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: had no doubt that he'd have an explanation for all
• 47:16
  Speaker 10: the evidence and we would have a real fight on
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: our hands at trial.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Marr's defense team knows that lab examiners have found his
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: fingerprints on items dropped outside the bank, including the motorcycle
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: helmet and a pair of gloves. They explain the prints
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: by claiming Marr lent the items to Daniel Delfiero, the
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: suspect killed in the shootout. What Mr.
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: Marr didn't know about, but we of course knew about,
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: was this blood trail that had been left. I knew
• 47:46
  Speaker 10: that the next step was to get an immediate sample
• 47:49
  Speaker 10: of his blood. And I knew that that would definitely
• 47:52
  Speaker 10: be the silver bullet if we were able to develop
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: DNA information from the blood trail that was left.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: A judge orders Marr to submit the samples, which DNA
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: experts compare to blood found at the apartment complex and
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: inside the kidnapped couple's house truck. The examiner reports a match.
• 48:16
  Speaker 10: At that point, any concern we had about the outcome
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: of that case definitely lifted because it was clear that,
• 48:25
  Speaker 10: taken together with all the other evidence that we already had,
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: that this was a rock-solid case.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Marr decides not to risk a jury trial and changes
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: his plea to guilty. He is sentenced to 23 years
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: in prison with no chance of parole. Seattle police officer
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Wesley Buxton, shot during his confrontation with Marr and Delfiero,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: is relieved that Marr finally got what he deserved.
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: I'm probably your typical police officer that feels that criminals
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: should get much more than they actually get as far
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: as the demands of justice. But I was fairly satisfied
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: with the sentence.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Special Agent Mike Adams.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Given the high number of bank robberies we have every year,
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: on average, well over 300 bank robberies, here in the
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: state of Washington. It's a good feeling when we can
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: bring about or at least help bring about a successful
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: conclusion to such a high profile bank robbery investigation.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: In the end, it was the combined efforts of the
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Seattle Police Department and the FBI that finally put Aristotle
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Maher out of business.
