- 0:22Speaker 1: Frances Victoria found half clothed, her clothes in disarray, having

- 0:38Speaker 1: me just say ephemistically takes a picture of her naked
- 0:44Speaker 1: body or half naked body and post it to about
- 0:47Speaker 1: thirty friends as she's lying there, either dead or passed out.

- 1:11Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. A body was found in
- 1:16Speaker 1: that garage you see right behind me, and now we
- 1:18Speaker 1: know that police are looking into two theories, according to
- 1:21Speaker 1: a report, that the woman died of an overdose or
- 1:24Speaker 1: that she died in the middle of a sexual encounter.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Police found a nineteen year old woman dead inside of
- 1:31Speaker 1: a vehicle at the top of this parking garage in
- 1:33Speaker 1: Hackensack around two in the morning. The garage is attached
- 1:37Speaker 1: to this luxury high rise apartment complex on Prospect Avenue.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Video obtained by pixel Even News shows the vehicle being
- 1:45Speaker 1: towed away. This woman just moved into the building this week.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I don't think it's the norm for around here. I
- 1:52Speaker 1: don't know the details. However, the way the building handle
- 1:54Speaker 1: it was very professional. You know. When I came out
- 1:57Speaker 1: this morning, they were like, no, worry about everything is okay.
- 2:00Speaker 1: The Daily Voice reporting that police are investigating if the
- 2:04Speaker 1: nineteen year old died of an overdose or due to
- 2:07Speaker 1: rough sex inside of the car. Wow, it's her fault,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I guess. Nineteen year old friends as Victoria Garcia. How
- 2:15Speaker 1: dare she have a drug overdose? How dare she have
- 2:19Speaker 1: quote rough sex and die half clothed in a car? Wow,
- 2:25Speaker 1: it's always the woman's fault. What a tramp? Right? Wrong,
- 2:31Speaker 1: absolutely wrong, one hundred percent wrong. I mean, I see, grace.
- 2:37Speaker 1: This is crime stories. Thank you for being with us.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I want justice, and by the time you hear these facts,
- 2:43Speaker 1: you're gonna want it too. Those of you that have
- 2:46Speaker 1: a daughter like I do, a sister, a mom, an aunt,
- 2:51Speaker 1: a best friend, to be dragged through the mud after
- 2:56Speaker 1: she's foul dead. I am not having it. Me an
- 3:00Speaker 1: all star panel. Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor, author of Red Flags.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You can find her at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com.
- 3:10Speaker 1: John Cardillo, host of America talks on Newsmax. Former NYPD
- 3:15Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, renowned California psychoanalyst. She's at doctor Bethany Marshall
- 3:20Speaker 1: dot com, Medical examiner for the State of Florida. Doctor
- 3:25Speaker 1: Tim Gallagher joining us but right now to investigate a
- 3:28Speaker 1: reporter with Radar Online dot Com, Alexis Terres Chuck, Alexis,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'm so mad at cochewa Nell and half. It's the
- 3:36Speaker 1: preppy murder all over again. Do you remember Robert Chambers,
- 3:41Speaker 1: because I sure do. Alexis, tell me about how this
- 3:46Speaker 1: nineteen year old girl, Francis Victoria Garcia was found. She
- 3:49Speaker 1: was found inside a car, and she was found in
- 3:53Speaker 1: a condition where police say that they could not tell
- 3:57Speaker 1: how she died. They did not know. There was no
- 4:00Speaker 1: obvious sign, there was not a lot of blood. She
- 4:03Speaker 1: had not been shot, so they were unaware of how
- 4:06Speaker 1: she had died. But she was found dead in the car.
- 4:09Speaker 1: What kind of car? Where was it? I believe that
- 4:12Speaker 1: it was a Ford Escort and it was in the
- 4:14Speaker 1: parking lot of the apartment building where she lived. You know,
- 4:17Speaker 1: to doctor Bethany Marshall, LA psychoanalyst, Doctor Bethany why is
- 4:22Speaker 1: it that all I've heard about this case is that
- 4:26Speaker 1: she odeed and she was having rough sex. Why is that?
- 4:31Speaker 1: You know? I was wondering that too, because this woman
- 4:33Speaker 1: is dead. She's only nineteen years old at the beginning
- 4:36Speaker 1: of her entire life, and her whole reputation has been maligned,
- 4:41Speaker 1: that she wanted rough sex, that she was high on drugs.
- 4:46Speaker 1: You know that the victim is really being blamed and
- 4:49Speaker 1: there is very little about the perpetrator. She was not
- 4:52Speaker 1: in that car alone. There was a man with her.
- 4:55Speaker 1: They were engaging in a sex act. And I think
- 4:58Speaker 1: that whoever is we reporting on this story is not
- 5:02Speaker 1: focusing on the fact that one person killed another. There
- 5:07Speaker 1: is a perpetrator. There's a crime. Something happened to this
- 5:10Speaker 1: young woman, and it's not because she had a sex drive.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Her sex drive did not kill her. Another person killed her. Okay,
- 5:19Speaker 1: you know, Dodger Bethany. You know, normally I agree with you.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Normally I agree with you, But I don't know if
- 5:27Speaker 1: having sex in a ford escort by an apartment building
- 5:31Speaker 1: where you end up dead is quote engaging in a
- 5:34Speaker 1: sex act, because to me, it sounds like she was
- 5:38Speaker 1: raped and murdered. That's what it sounds like to me.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Take a listen to this. Our friends at Pigs eleven
- 5:44Speaker 1: residents say there was a party on the fourteenth floor
- 5:47Speaker 1: of the building. According to The Daily Voice, citing a
- 5:50Speaker 1: law enforcement official, the woman that died left the party
- 5:54Speaker 1: inside the building with a man and both went inside
- 5:57Speaker 1: of that vehicle. They had both taken prescription medication prior
- 6:01Speaker 1: to their encounter, according to the report. This long time
- 6:05Speaker 1: resident says she saw a large law enforcement response earlier
- 6:09Speaker 1: in the day. It was kind of scary coming out
- 6:12Speaker 1: and finding all the police cars, and then when I
- 6:16Speaker 1: returned three hours later, there was still his I was
- 6:19Speaker 1: even afraid to go in. There were so many things
- 6:21Speaker 1: that happen in life that you really can't assume or
- 6:24Speaker 1: make judgment on anybody's life. It's a sad thing. I
- 6:27Speaker 1: feel sorry for her in the family. Now on autopsy
- 6:30Speaker 1: is going to determine the cost of death. The Bergen
- 6:32Speaker 1: County Prosecutor's office asking anyone with information to come forward.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So there was a party, according to sources, upon the
- 6:39Speaker 1: fourteenth floor of a luxury apartment building. According to a
- 6:43Speaker 1: police this young teen girl leaves the party with a man.
- 6:48Speaker 1: They claimed both head taken prescription meds. I don't know
- 6:52Speaker 1: that they got into a car and that was the
- 6:56Speaker 1: end of it. This reminds me so much of Robert
- 7:01Speaker 1: Chambers the so called Preppy murder case. Take a listen.
- 7:05Speaker 1: The partially nude body of a young female is found
- 7:09Speaker 1: fiendishly posed in New York Central Park, the victim of
- 7:12Speaker 1: a savage beating and strangulation. That was the word of
- 7:16Speaker 1: the real psychobet. Police identify her as a popular eighteen
- 7:21Speaker 1: year old Soho resident from a wealthy family. It was
- 7:24Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible time for the family and for the
- 7:27Speaker 1: loved ones. Friends tell police of her companion on the
- 7:30Speaker 1: previous night, a strikingly handsome nineteen year old casual acquaintance,
- 7:35Speaker 1: one who appears to have deep, fresh scratches on his
- 7:38Speaker 1: face and body. They look like scratch marks for a
- 7:41Speaker 1: human ass and arrest is made. And when the media
- 7:45Speaker 1: gets a glimpse of the seemingly wholesome, well dressed nineteen
- 7:48Speaker 1: year old, they dubbed him the Preppy killer. He came
- 7:52Speaker 1: across as being a magnetic, interesting person because he was
- 7:57Speaker 1: just so good looking. But how could an innocent teenage
- 8:00Speaker 1: tryst looks like someone's got like and in murder, no
- 8:06Speaker 1: one deserves what happened there, sensational tales of drugs, alcohol
- 8:11Speaker 1: and sadistic sex will emerge. Well, tales t a LS
- 8:16Speaker 1: is pretty much what that is, an intricate web of
- 8:20Speaker 1: tales in which that victim and eighteen year old girl,
- 8:24Speaker 1: Jennifer Levin was also sullied in the media. That was
- 8:28Speaker 1: from our friends at AMC. They're special called the Preppie murder,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and now it's happening all over again. Straight out to
- 8:37Speaker 1: the Medical Examiner for the State of Florida, doctor Tim Gallagher.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Doctor Gallagher, it seems to me that this woman is
- 8:45Speaker 1: basically being slut shamed. I guess is the new term
- 8:49Speaker 1: for it. I don't allow that word in our home,
- 8:52Speaker 1: but that's what's being done to this girl, Francis Victoria Garcia.
- 8:56Speaker 1: She went to a party. She may or may not
- 8:59Speaker 1: have taken a prescription drug. That's just a report from partygoers.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I don't know what they know. How can you tell
- 9:08Speaker 1: if this woman, this young girl, was raped or whether,
- 9:12Speaker 1: as they say, it was consensual sex. There are a
- 9:14Speaker 1: few ways we can tell that a woman was raped.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Number One, a sexual assault kid would have to be
- 9:21Speaker 1: performed and samples of her vaginal area would have to
- 9:24Speaker 1: be taken, as well as samples from anal and oral areas.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And then if it was forced sex, you would notice
- 9:33Speaker 1: on the inner part of her thighs bruising or some
- 9:35Speaker 1: contusions that typically do not become consistent with consensual sex.
- 9:41Speaker 1: So any bruising around the mouth area, of the rectal
- 9:45Speaker 1: area or the vaginal area can certainly lend support that
- 9:49Speaker 1: this was a forced sexual accounter versus when that was consensual.
- 9:52Speaker 1: What do you think is this girl being dragged through
- 9:56Speaker 1: the mud? This is what I know. He is a lie,
- 10:00Speaker 1: she is dead. Doesn't sound like consensual sex to me.
- 10:03Speaker 1: This is crime stories. Crime stories with Nancy Grace Endlongs
- 10:25Speaker 1: were immediately rough sex in awe. He says, she was
- 10:29Speaker 1: trying to have her way with me. But the truth
- 10:33Speaker 1: will be more disturbing than any tablai could ever dream up.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's only very callous stranger that needs body. It closed
- 10:43Speaker 1: in that it was enthralling to the media to meet
- 10:47Speaker 1: Robert Chambers, just your average ladies man until murder made
- 10:54Speaker 1: him famous. That from our friends at a see the
- 11:00Speaker 1: Preppy Murder special, and it's deja vu. Now a nineteen
- 11:05Speaker 1: year old girl Frances Victoria Garcia found dead half clothed
- 11:10Speaker 1: in a Ford escort, and instead of people reporting on
- 11:15Speaker 1: the guy she was with, it's all about her what
- 11:18Speaker 1: she did wrong. Now, you were just hearing about the
- 11:21Speaker 1: preppy murder as it was monikered, and I think that
- 11:25Speaker 1: was quite the euphemism, like putting perfume on a pig.
- 11:29Speaker 1: It was not a preppy murder. It was a violent strangulation,
- 11:32Speaker 1: death and rape where that victim, Jennifer Levin's body was
- 11:37Speaker 1: left half clothed in central Parkner underwear, about fifty feet
- 11:40Speaker 1: away from her body. Under her nails, there was a
- 11:46Speaker 1: treasure trove of DNA where she scratched at Robert chambers
- 11:51Speaker 1: hands to make him let go of her neck, but
- 11:54Speaker 1: he did not. Robert Chambers nicknamed the Preppie killer, that
- 12:01Speaker 1: in itself irritates the heck out of me. Bethanie Marshall,
- 12:05Speaker 1: the Preppie Killer is that's wrong? That's like Colin Jack
- 12:09Speaker 1: the Ripper, a nice but misled gynecologist. Well, I think
- 12:16Speaker 1: that whoever's reporting on these crimes does not want to
- 12:20Speaker 1: use the appropriate verbiage predator, rapist, homicidal, maniac sadist. You know,
- 12:30Speaker 1: to put your hands around a woman's neck and to
- 12:34Speaker 1: suffocate her to death, to asphyxiate her, means you have
- 12:38Speaker 1: enormous rage, and that this is no longer about sex.
- 12:43Speaker 1: This is about luring someone to a certain place so
- 12:46Speaker 1: that you can predate against them. So, this poor nineteen
- 12:51Speaker 1: year old young woman at the beginning of her life,
- 12:54Speaker 1: was lured from a party by a rapist. And that
- 12:58Speaker 1: is really what we're talking about today, a rapist and
- 13:01Speaker 1: an innocent young woman. And we need to be clear
- 13:03Speaker 1: about what we're talking about. John Cardillo, former NYPD host
- 13:07Speaker 1: of America, talks on Newsmax TV. John NYPD, you were
- 13:12Speaker 1: there when Jennifer Levin's house naked body was covered in
- 13:16Speaker 1: bruises and bite marks and cuts, was found by a
- 13:20Speaker 1: bicyclist in Central Park, right at Fifth Avenue and eighty three,
- 13:25Speaker 1: where all the rich people live in Manhattan, right behind
- 13:28Speaker 1: the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Clothing from Levin's upper body
- 13:32Speaker 1: was pushed up around her neck, her skirt was around
- 13:35Speaker 1: her waist. She had been strangled. There were multiple cuts
- 13:40Speaker 1: and bruises on her neck from the strangulation from her
- 13:43Speaker 1: own fingernails as she clawed at Robert chambers hands, trying
- 13:50Speaker 1: to save her own life. And we learned that later
- 13:54Speaker 1: Robert Chambers, a so called preppy killer, went and hid
- 13:57Speaker 1: and watched as police officer found her underwear about fifty
- 14:03Speaker 1: yards away. Do you remember when that happened, John Cardilou, Yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 1: Now I was younger than I, but it was a
- 14:10Speaker 1: big teaching case for us in the academy. The NYPD
- 14:13Speaker 1: Crime Scene Unit used it, and then later on I
- 14:16Speaker 1: was actually trained when I was in service on the
- 14:19Speaker 1: street by one of the detectives on the case. There
- 14:22Speaker 1: were similarities, but many many differences in these two cases
- 14:25Speaker 1: in terms of police response. You have to go back.
- 14:29Speaker 1: This was the nineteen eighties in New York City, pre
- 14:31Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani implementing some new policies that reduced crime, and
- 14:35Speaker 1: you just nailed at Nancy. Now you had the murder
- 14:37Speaker 1: of a young white woman in a very ritzy area,
- 14:41Speaker 1: arguably some of the highest real estate value in the world.
- 14:44Speaker 1: So the detectives were mobilized, but it was a much
- 14:47Speaker 1: more evident crime scene of a crime, and at the
- 14:51Speaker 1: time crime was high in New York and so all
- 14:54Speaker 1: indicators pointed to foul play. There clearly a beaten victim.
- 14:58Speaker 1: It was clearly sexual will solve you didn't even need
- 15:01Speaker 1: the recon But I don't get it. Then why did
- 15:03Speaker 1: he get the euphemistic nickname preppy killer Wendy Patrick? You
- 15:08Speaker 1: know what? Here's the deal with rape, all right? And
- 15:11Speaker 1: I've tried many many rape cases before I had DNA evidence,
- 15:18Speaker 1: we had blood type. I could show the rapist was,
- 15:21Speaker 1: you know, a b BE positive blah blah blah blah.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But that was it. There was no DNA at that time.
- 15:29Speaker 1: It was just on the CUSP before DNA was used
- 15:33Speaker 1: in court. Here's how it goes. First of all, the
- 15:36Speaker 1: guy says, I've never seen her in my life. Okay, Then, oh,
- 15:39Speaker 1: here's the picture of you guys at a party together.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Oh her? Oh yeah, right, I don't remember her being
- 15:45Speaker 1: at the party, But if you've got a picture, then
- 15:47Speaker 1: I guess we attended the same party. Well, witnesses say
- 15:51Speaker 1: you left the party together. She may have left behind me,
- 15:54Speaker 1: but I don't. I did not leave any party with her.
- 15:57Speaker 1: She may have left around the same time as me,
- 15:59Speaker 1: but that I didn't leave with her. Well, here you
- 16:02Speaker 1: are on apartment surveillance video walking out arm in arm
- 16:07Speaker 1: oh her, yes, Okay, now I remember we did leave together. Well,
- 16:13Speaker 1: but we didn't have sex. Well, your fingerprints are on
- 16:18Speaker 1: her car and inside the dash of her car, right right,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and your DNA matches the seamen right. You know what,
- 16:27Speaker 1: It's all coming back to me. We did have sex,
- 16:29Speaker 1: but it was consensual. It's totally some consensual. In fact,
- 16:32Speaker 1: she practically raped me. That's how it goes, Wendy Patrick. Yeah, Nancy,
- 16:36Speaker 1: you know that chronology outlines probably the majority of the
- 16:40Speaker 1: rape cases we see because most of them end up
- 16:43Speaker 1: having a consent defense. We see that far more often
- 16:46Speaker 1: than a stranger jumping out of the bushes and dragging
- 16:48Speaker 1: a woman into an alley. Not that that doesn't happen,
- 16:50Speaker 1: but Nancy, more often than not, as I think all
- 16:52Speaker 1: of us on the call can agree, that's the way
- 16:54Speaker 1: we see it most often, as it goes from denial
- 16:57Speaker 1: and it slides towards the consent defense. But let me
- 16:59Speaker 1: bring up a couple of things that distinguishes cases life
- 17:02Speaker 1: we're discussing, and your previous guests really sort of accused
- 17:05Speaker 1: this up very well. So Bethany Marshall brought up this
- 17:08Speaker 1: point about the rage that must be required for the
- 17:11Speaker 1: sustained pressure necessary to kill by choking. Doctor Gallagher talks
- 17:17Speaker 1: about the fact that you can tell somebody had sex
- 17:19Speaker 1: and Brewises lends support. But still there are potential defenses
- 17:23Speaker 1: that we've all heard raised in court that might even
- 17:26Speaker 1: call close into question. So what do we do. We
- 17:28Speaker 1: have to almost prove this circumstantially, as my friend John
- 17:31Speaker 1: Cardillo were in the hard way back at NYPD with
- 17:34Speaker 1: some of these terrible cases. But in what we're looking at,
- 17:37Speaker 1: where it's maybe acquaintance rate, maybe it's a case where
- 17:40Speaker 1: two people just met or they don't know each other
- 17:42Speaker 1: very well, it is going to be all circumstantial. And
- 17:45Speaker 1: even Nancy, you and I both we're trying these cases
- 17:48Speaker 1: before DNA was helping, Still there was this circumstantial evidence
- 17:52Speaker 1: available not only to prove a sexual encounter, but also
- 17:56Speaker 1: to help to prove whether or not there was consent.
- 17:59Speaker 1: That's the issue here. And then here's the next kicker,
- 18:02Speaker 1: Doctor Tim Gallagher the medical examiner for the state of Florida.
- 18:06Speaker 1: And I say it in that way because in many
- 18:09Speaker 1: jurisdictions you have a medical examiner for each county. Gallagher
- 18:15Speaker 1: is a medical examiner for the entire state of Florida.
- 18:19Speaker 1: That is nothing to sneeze at, doctor Gallagher. To further
- 18:25Speaker 1: complicate the consent issue, you know, in the past, when
- 18:30Speaker 1: the victim would be covered in cuts and bruises, they're
- 18:34Speaker 1: her clothes torn, that would be evidence of forcible rape.
- 18:39Speaker 1: But now the predator, the defendant says, oh, she wanted
- 18:44Speaker 1: rough sex, that that's what happened. So, Doctor Gallagher, in
- 18:48Speaker 1: this case, what evidence do you see on Francis Victoria
- 18:52Speaker 1: Garcia's body that would indicate a violent rape. Well, there
- 18:56Speaker 1: can be several, you know, one of the others. Not
- 18:58Speaker 1: only when we receive the body, we also inspect the clothing,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and we inspect the clothing for unnatural tears in the clothing,
- 19:05Speaker 1: forced openings of the zippers and buttons, buttons that might
- 19:10Speaker 1: be missing, blood that might be on the clothing. We
- 19:12Speaker 1: photographed the clothing and a lot of the times the
- 19:14Speaker 1: damage of the clothing, we can match that up to
- 19:18Speaker 1: injuries on the body and that would give us a
- 19:21Speaker 1: very good supporting evidence that the person was attacked or
- 19:27Speaker 1: physically assaulted. And not to mention the fact that this
- 19:30Speaker 1: victim actually had fingerprint marks on her neck. And oh,
- 19:35Speaker 1: by the way, just food for thought did I mention
- 19:39Speaker 1: that the date? Twenty one year old Michael Gaffney allegedly
- 19:45Speaker 1: posted a picture of Frances Victoria's dead body on Snapchat
- 19:50Speaker 1: before he called for help, and he put under the
- 19:53Speaker 1: picture just ft this bitch. She passed out. I don't
- 19:58Speaker 1: know what to do. Crime stories with Nancy Grace oh here.
- 20:21Speaker 1: In August nineteen eighty six, Robert Chambers made headlines for
- 20:25Speaker 1: killing his friend Jennifer Levin in New York's Central Park.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I didn't mean to hurt her. I liked her very much.
- 20:33Speaker 1: He was handsome and privileged, and the press called him
- 20:37Speaker 1: the preppy killer. But to police, he was just a
- 20:41Speaker 1: nineteen year old kid with an unlikely story that seemed
- 20:45Speaker 1: to blame the victim for her own killing. Raving you
- 20:48Speaker 1: when the block with me without my consent. He always
- 20:53Speaker 1: said he struck her to make her stop. Police never
- 20:57Speaker 1: believed that story, and Chambers was charged with murder. He
- 21:01Speaker 1: pled guilty to first degree manslaughter and served fifteen years
- 21:06Speaker 1: in prison. When he was released, he gave his only
- 21:11Speaker 1: interview to Troy Roberts of forty eight Hours. I was
- 21:14Speaker 1: responsible for her death. You are hearing our friends at
- 21:17Speaker 1: AMC's their special the preppy murderer that was in the eighties,
- 21:21Speaker 1: but believe it or not, it's happened again, and once again.
- 21:24Speaker 1: The victim, the rape and murder victim eighteen girl, she's
- 21:28Speaker 1: just nineteen, Francis Victoria Garcia, absolutely beautiful, is being treated
- 21:34Speaker 1: like the worst tramp ever. No one seems to be
- 21:37Speaker 1: focusing on the killer. Michael Gaffney, Did you hear what
- 21:40Speaker 1: I just mentioned that? Before he calls the police, Gaffney
- 21:45Speaker 1: allegedly posts a photo Francis Victoria's dead body on Snapchat
- 21:52Speaker 1: before he calls for help. Quote this is what he
- 21:56Speaker 1: puts under her picture, just ft this bitch, she passed out.
- 22:01Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. How dare he I'm
- 22:06Speaker 1: looking at this guy and I'm looking at her, and
- 22:08Speaker 1: it's just overwhelming me. The senselessness of this death is
- 22:12Speaker 1: a murder. He says that they had quote rough sex
- 22:17Speaker 1: and a car, posting the photo of her dead naked
- 22:20Speaker 1: body on Snapchat before calling for help. Gaffing is twenty one.
- 22:25Speaker 1: He's from Maywood. She Frances Victoria, just nineteen, found dead
- 22:31Speaker 1: in a car parked in a detached parking lot and
- 22:34Speaker 1: a luxury high rise and Hackensack following a party. This
- 22:40Speaker 1: photo that he posted on social media is so disturbing.
- 22:46Speaker 1: What does it mean to you? Renounced like, oh, Alice
- 22:48Speaker 1: joining me out of la Doctor Bethany Marshall, Bethany, what
- 22:52Speaker 1: does it mean to you? Well, what this means to
- 22:54Speaker 1: me is that I think of rapist hypologies, there are
- 22:58Speaker 1: very specific delineations in terms of type of rapists. Seventy
- 23:03Speaker 1: three percent of rapists know their victims, and where they
- 23:06Speaker 1: know their victims, they tend to be less violent and
- 23:10Speaker 1: just more coercive interpersonally. But when there is a stranger rape,
- 23:15Speaker 1: usually the perpetrator is abusing substances and the nature of
- 23:19Speaker 1: the rape tends to be much more violent and much
- 23:22Speaker 1: more aggressive. And I'm going to assume that this twenty
- 23:25Speaker 1: one year old did not know this victim prior to
- 23:28Speaker 1: the party, that he selected her. During the party, he
- 23:31Speaker 1: was already in the mood to rape. He had aggression
- 23:35Speaker 1: towards women, hated women, wanted to have power over women.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Because another type of rapist is the power reassurance rapist.
- 23:42Speaker 1: That's the one who has power over the woman in
- 23:44Speaker 1: order to assure himself with his own masculinity. The rapist
- 23:49Speaker 1: who rapes a stranger usually is expressing hostility towards all
- 23:54Speaker 1: women in general. They don't always kill, but sometimes they do. So.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Not only is this young man a rapist, but he's
- 24:01Speaker 1: also homicidal. I would want to know about his history
- 24:04Speaker 1: of violence and his history of substance abuse. I'm sure
- 24:08Speaker 1: that there are both. Well, he does have that history
- 24:10Speaker 1: of substance abuse. Doctor Bethany, you get that nail on
- 24:12Speaker 1: the head, Okay, But I'm asking specifically about to you,
- 24:16Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick. You and I both prosecuted a lot of
- 24:20Speaker 1: rape cases. The fact that he posted this just after
- 24:24Speaker 1: this bitch she passed out, I don't know what to do.
- 24:27Speaker 1: He writes on Snapchat for the world to see, and
- 24:32Speaker 1: he told friends who were in the contacted friends in
- 24:35Speaker 1: the area and told them Frances Victoria was not breathing
- 24:38Speaker 1: after he posted the Snapchat photo. Yeah, I hate to
- 24:42Speaker 1: say it's a sign of the times that we have
- 24:43Speaker 1: this kind of absolutely callous boasting of just despicable actions.
- 24:48Speaker 1: As you say, you know, perhaps it's you know, many
- 24:51Speaker 1: young people might be desensitized, and I shouldn't pick on
- 24:54Speaker 1: the young people. You know, we read these types of
- 24:56Speaker 1: things online and we tend to let our conclusions just
- 24:59Speaker 1: sort of go verdict. First, you can imagine as a
- 25:03Speaker 1: defense attorney, which is, by the way, the way I
- 25:05Speaker 1: started my career, you can imagine this being spun to indicate, well,
- 25:09Speaker 1: obviously this was a very unprincipled manner of saying, I'm
- 25:13Speaker 1: not sure what to do this woman passed out. But
- 25:15Speaker 1: that's not the visceral reaction, Nancy, as you wisely point
- 25:18Speaker 1: out that jurors are going to have, They're going to
- 25:20Speaker 1: be more in line with how in the world could
- 25:22Speaker 1: you possibly say something like this? And Nick really goes
- 25:25Speaker 1: back to what's the relationship between the parties? And as
- 25:28Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall points out, it does also speak to
- 25:31Speaker 1: acquaintances who just met leaving a party together, rather than
- 25:35Speaker 1: any kind of established relationship, which will play into the
- 25:38Speaker 1: rest of the narrative. This man may be the proverbial
- 25:40Speaker 1: axe murderer next door who nobody really knew much about,
- 25:44Speaker 1: which again ties right into the preppy murder as well. Well.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Another issue is that they're in her car. John Cardillo,
- 25:51Speaker 1: host of America, talks on Newsmax TV former NYPD it
- 25:55Speaker 1: sounds to me that she was walking to her car.
- 25:58Speaker 1: He may have acted like he was escorting her to
- 26:01Speaker 1: her car and then attacked her. That's what I believe happened.
- 26:05Speaker 1: They're not in his car. It's not like he was
- 26:08Speaker 1: taking her out to, you know, go out for a
- 26:10Speaker 1: late night breakfast or anything like that. She was raped
- 26:13Speaker 1: and murdered in her car. Does is that significant or not?
- 26:16Speaker 1: John Cardillo, you know, Nancy, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I don't have enough evidence yet to declare rape. He obviously,
- 26:24Speaker 1: from what we see, was responsible for the murder. He
- 26:27Speaker 1: admits that. But we don't have enough evidence for rape
- 26:30Speaker 1: because we've got Remember the initial news items on this
- 26:34Speaker 1: were they didn't know if it was an overdose or
- 26:37Speaker 1: something else, which indicates responding officers got a nine one
- 26:40Speaker 1: one call for an unresponsive female. They get Wait a minute,
- 26:43Speaker 1: why are you even saying that, Because we've now got
- 26:45Speaker 1: a partial autopsy that says cause of death is compression,
- 26:50Speaker 1: So why are you even bringing that up there? Saying
- 26:52Speaker 1: so then we learned a little bit more, just another
- 26:55Speaker 1: chance to try to trash the victim at all. I
- 26:57Speaker 1: don't think this girl did anything that wasn't the cause
- 26:59Speaker 1: of death though, So why are you bringing it up to.
- 27:02Speaker 1: What I'm saying is when the initial officers got there,
- 27:04Speaker 1: they had no idea. So then e MS takes the
- 27:07Speaker 1: body to the morgue, the medical examiner does their investigation.
- 27:10Speaker 1: They determined compressions to the neck killed her. We still
- 27:14Speaker 1: don't know if rape was a component, is all I'm saying.
- 27:18Speaker 1: What I'm saying is we now know. Oh so you
- 27:19Speaker 1: think they had a sweet session. You don't. I'm sorry,
- 27:26Speaker 1: hold on just a moment, Alexis Terress Chuck correct me
- 27:29Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but it doesn't two plus two still
- 27:32Speaker 1: equal four, or if I lost my mind does and
- 27:35Speaker 1: she was bound with Bruis's contusions around her neck. You know,
- 27:41Speaker 1: I can't believe Cardillo said that a former cop A
- 27:46Speaker 1: you think this beautiful young girl was to go out
- 27:50Speaker 1: and a freezing cold parking lot and have sex with
- 27:53Speaker 1: a guy she barely knows and her Ford escort Nancy.
- 27:58Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it doesn't have but in this world, yeah,
- 28:01Speaker 1: I guess it does. But you're you're really belittling her.
- 28:06Speaker 1: And plus the fact that she's strangled dead, what do
- 28:09Speaker 1: you think that she uh, that was consensual too? She
- 28:12Speaker 1: wanted to be strangled no, she was obviously the two
- 28:15Speaker 1: no no, no, no, you had your chance to two
- 28:17Speaker 1: are linked. She is still she's half naked, she's dead,
- 28:23Speaker 1: and the guy should go away for the rest of
- 28:25Speaker 1: his life if he did it, if we had the
- 28:27Speaker 1: death penalty, give it to him. But I just don't
- 28:30Speaker 1: see both things can be okay. Maybe, Wendy Patrick, maybe
- 28:34Speaker 1: I'm a little too angry at you and your lips
- 28:36Speaker 1: are still moving. That's why I don't understand. Wendy Patrick,
- 28:40Speaker 1: Please explain to him why this is not a consensual
- 28:43Speaker 1: sex stack. Her clothes are all torn up around her
- 28:46Speaker 1: her neck, and she's half clothed or skirts al yanked
- 28:50Speaker 1: up over her waist. She's in a public place, in
- 28:54Speaker 1: a detached parking garage with the guy she hardly knows,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and she's dead. Yeah. I think what John was trying
- 29:01Speaker 1: to do is lay out what the defense and what
- 29:03Speaker 1: the prosecution is going to have to overcome with full
- 29:06Speaker 1: knowledge that we have a circumstantial evidence that makes it rape.
- 29:09Speaker 1: And that's part of what you also, you know, doctor
- 29:11Speaker 1: Gallagher said this as well. You look for tears and clothing,
- 29:14Speaker 1: for blood, for it signs of fourth entry. If you will,
- 29:16Speaker 1: you know the kinds of things that make it seem
- 29:18Speaker 1: like there is no element of consent. And part of
- 29:21Speaker 1: the thing you also are going to look at is
- 29:23Speaker 1: this was a freezing night in a parking garage in
- 29:26Speaker 1: her car, not the kind of consensual atmosphere that you
- 29:30Speaker 1: would imagine if in fact this is consensual. Say oh please,
- 29:34Speaker 1: it's not like it's got scented candles and playing jazz
- 29:40Speaker 1: music in the background. For Pete, say you know what,
- 29:42Speaker 1: John Cardillo, I thought. I need you listen. You're misinterpreting
- 29:47Speaker 1: what I'm saying I really did until right now. Crime
- 30:03Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. A man from Maywood is under
- 30:08Speaker 1: arrest tonight after a nineteen year old woman is found
- 30:11Speaker 1: dead in her car at around two this morning in Hackensack.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Michael Gaffney facing reckless manslaughter. Authorities say they could not
- 30:20Speaker 1: revive Victoria Garcia in autopsy finding she had quote compression
- 30:26Speaker 1: injuries to her neck. Authorities say she was in the
- 30:29Speaker 1: backseat of her car with Gaffney, who will stay in
- 30:32Speaker 1: prison until his next court date. Reckless manslaughter? What did
- 30:37Speaker 1: I just hear? Reckless manslaughter? Premeditated murderer is when you
- 30:42Speaker 1: have intent to commit the act that results in death fire.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I hold up a gun to Jackie Howard here in
- 30:50Speaker 1: the studio with me and pull the trigger. The law presumes,
- 30:55Speaker 1: assumes that I at and the natural consequence of my act.
- 30:59Speaker 1: I can't just say, oh, I just meant to scare
- 31:01Speaker 1: her by shooting her in the head. He can't say,
- 31:04Speaker 1: I just meant to what have rough sex and continue
- 31:07Speaker 1: compressing her neck until she was dead. He had plenty
- 31:10Speaker 1: of time to form premeditation. Premeditation under the law, like
- 31:15Speaker 1: it or not, can be formed in an instant and
- 31:17Speaker 1: the time it takes you to pull a trigger, it
- 31:19Speaker 1: takes several minutes to strangle someone dead. You were just
- 31:23Speaker 1: hearing our friends. I'm not blaming the messenger or that
- 31:26Speaker 1: was Nick Medanus at News twelve New Jersey. But I
- 31:30Speaker 1: don't get why this is reckless manslaughter. Oh oh no,
- 31:34Speaker 1: this is murder. Doctor Tim Gallagher, the medical examiner for
- 31:38Speaker 1: the State of Florida. Doctor Gallagher tell me how long
- 31:42Speaker 1: it takes to strangle someone dead. Manuel's strangulation and what
- 31:48Speaker 1: are compression fractures. Well, in order to strangle somebody until
- 31:53Speaker 1: they're dead, of their blood supply with the oxygen supply
- 31:56Speaker 1: has to be cut up to their brain for longer
- 31:58Speaker 1: than three minutes, So it's a very long drawn out
- 32:01Speaker 1: process that's very intimate. You're very close to the person,
- 32:06Speaker 1: you know, so it's not a quick thing. It's about
- 32:09Speaker 1: three or four minutes that you have to maintain that
- 32:12Speaker 1: restrictive compression around their neck. And then fractures around the
- 32:16Speaker 1: neck due to compression are often the highoid bone. So
- 32:19Speaker 1: the highoid bone is a very thin small bone that's
- 32:22Speaker 1: in the front portion of the neck extending around the
- 32:26Speaker 1: sides of it, and the hand or the object that
- 32:29Speaker 1: compresses the neck would often fracture that highoid bone and
- 32:33Speaker 1: therefore supporting evidence that the person was manually strangled. I'm
- 32:38Speaker 1: just not understanding where they're getting the theory of reckless manslaughter.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a chance you could get
- 32:45Speaker 1: straight probation on that. On a reckless manslaughter. That's when
- 32:49Speaker 1: you have a crash. You're not drunk, you have a
- 32:51Speaker 1: crash as somebody dies. This is premeditated. He had how
- 32:56Speaker 1: long did you say, doctor Gallaght takes his strangle somebody
- 32:59Speaker 1: did a general it's going to be greater than three minutes.
- 33:01Speaker 1: So for three minutes, I mean, the law is Wendy Patrick.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Premeditation can be formed in an instant. Why are they
- 33:07Speaker 1: cutting this guy a break, given him reckless manslaw or charges?
- 33:10Speaker 1: This says to go to grant Ury and get a
- 33:11Speaker 1: murder show. Yeah, I think is maybe a function of
- 33:13Speaker 1: what you and I have seen during the course of
- 33:15Speaker 1: our careers is sometimes you need to gather as much
- 33:17Speaker 1: evidence as you can before you can bump it up
- 33:19Speaker 1: to the next level. And maybe that's part of the
- 33:22Speaker 1: analysis here. You always wonder that, you know, you look
- 33:24Speaker 1: at the facts as are reported, and then you see
- 33:26Speaker 1: what's been charged, and you see the discrepancy. But we
- 33:28Speaker 1: all know that, you know, because we're not privy to
- 33:31Speaker 1: the inner workings and conversations and legal analysis. Maybe there
- 33:34Speaker 1: are stronger charges coming once certain test results or once
- 33:38Speaker 1: more evidence is available. But you're right, that certainly will
- 33:41Speaker 1: be something to consider because it sure does look one way,
- 33:43Speaker 1: and yet the charges seemed to insinuate something less man
- 33:46Speaker 1: appears facially obvious. I think she's being punished because she
- 33:49Speaker 1: may have been drinking at the party and may have
- 33:52Speaker 1: taken prescription drugs. I think she's being punished and shamed
- 33:57Speaker 1: even in death. It's happening all over again. Did we
- 34:00Speaker 1: learn nothing from Robert Chambers and Jennifer Levin's murder, the
- 34:06Speaker 1: so called preppie killer. Listen, I was responsible for her death,
- 34:10Speaker 1: There's no question about that. You admitted guilt, but you
- 34:13Speaker 1: did not intend to kill her. I don't believe I
- 34:16Speaker 1: intended to kill her at all. Everything he said about
- 34:19Speaker 1: how she died is absolutely untrue. She was frantically fighting
- 34:26Speaker 1: for her life. Am I a monster? No? If I
- 34:30Speaker 1: were a monster, I wouldn't care. Yes, you are a monster.
- 34:34Speaker 1: You are a monster. You are evil, and that wasn't
- 34:38Speaker 1: your first defense. I'm talking about Robert Chambers. You were
- 34:41Speaker 1: just saying you were sorry because you were talking to
- 34:44Speaker 1: forty eight hours Rick Salinger, and you want everybody to
- 34:46Speaker 1: hear that feel sorry for you. But in this case,
- 34:49Speaker 1: it's happening, is playing out all over again. Frances Victoria Garcia,
- 34:54Speaker 1: just nineteen years old, is dead, half clothed with Prussian fractures,
- 35:00Speaker 1: straggled so hard that most likely her highoid bow there
- 35:04Speaker 1: were actually fractures in her neck, and now we've got
- 35:09Speaker 1: just a reckless manslaughter charge. Really, I'm stunned. Listen to this.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Go fund me has pulled the plug on a fundraiser
- 35:19Speaker 1: set up for a man charged with reckless manslaughter. Michael
- 35:22Speaker 1: Gaffney was arrested over the weekend in connection to the
- 35:25Speaker 1: death of nineteen year old Victoria Garcia. Gaffney's family had
- 35:28Speaker 1: created the gofund maid to raise money for his defense.
- 35:31Speaker 1: The site shot down the page, sitting a violation of
- 35:34Speaker 1: its policy, which bans raising money for legal defenses involving
- 35:38Speaker 1: violent crimes. Guys, this guy not only kills a nineteen
- 35:41Speaker 1: year old girl. Oh, by the way, that's News twelve
- 35:43Speaker 1: New Jersey anchor Christina Bear, but Alexis Terreschuk, investigative reporter,
- 35:48Speaker 1: writer online dot com, he actually starts to go fund
- 35:51Speaker 1: me to raise money for himself. Yep. His family set
- 35:54Speaker 1: it up hoping that they could get some money. They
- 35:56Speaker 1: actually started getting money, and then luckily go fund me
- 35:58Speaker 1: set it down, shut it down. The thing that's so
- 36:02Speaker 1: amazing in this case is that the judge, as you were,
- 36:06Speaker 1: was furious about this snapchat posts that he made and
- 36:10Speaker 1: said that is the reason he wasn't going to let
- 36:13Speaker 1: him out on bail because reckless manslaughter charges are not
- 36:16Speaker 1: first degree murder, and bail was a possibility for him,
- 36:20Speaker 1: and he said, you know this is disgusting. What you
- 36:22Speaker 1: have done is so disgusting. I am not even going
- 36:24Speaker 1: to allow you to have bail. So after she goes
- 36:27Speaker 1: lifeless or still, he takes a naked photo and post
- 36:29Speaker 1: it to thirty people. Could he have saved her life?
- 36:32Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfalls. Nancy Grace Crimes story, signing
