Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace spending thousands and thousands of
- 0:09Speaker 1: dollars for billboards along the street, tens of thousands of
- 0:15Speaker 1: dollars a donation, nearly ten thousand letters. I'm not talking
- 0:21Speaker 1: about a rock star or a movie star. I'm talking
- 0:25Speaker 1: about Luigi Mangioni. Fans They're crazy. I wonder how Brian
- 0:31Speaker 1: Thompson's widow and orphaned boys feel about the billboards, the
- 0:36Speaker 1: donations and the letters. I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I want to thank you for being with us as
- 0:45Speaker 1: the suspected killer of the United Healthcare CEO heads to court. Amazingly,
- 0:52Speaker 1: his support amongst mostly female fans has not died. When
- 0:59Speaker 1: Mangioni arrived at a Manhattan courthouse for hearings, a billboard
- 1:04Speaker 1: featuring a guy named Michael Kissling was mounted on a
- 1:09Speaker 1: truck driving around outside. Who is Kissling? He is a
- 1:15Speaker 1: thirty two year old amputee who blames United Healthcare for
- 1:21Speaker 1: denying treatments he said would have saved his leg. Now,
- 1:26Speaker 1: Kissling does not condone violence, but he does say the
- 1:31Speaker 1: shooting dead of the CEO Brian Thompson did draw attention
- 1:35Speaker 1: to the many obstacles he and many others have faced
- 1:40Speaker 1: getting insurance coverage. Kissling makes a point by saying, if
- 1:48Speaker 1: he Mingionie's Malcolm X, then I'm emulating MLK Martin Luther King.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Of course, United Healthcare disputed a. Kissling's account, and I'm
- 1:58Speaker 1: certainly not defending United Healthcare in this. What I am
- 2:03Speaker 1: supporting is the right to a trial. What happened that
- 2:09Speaker 1: early morning when Brian Thompson was gunned down on the street.
- 2:13Speaker 2: A masked gunman shoots dead the United Healthcare CEO in
- 2:18Speaker 2: midtown Manhattan, and urgent search ensues for the suspect. Last
- 2:23Speaker 2: scene entering Central.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Park, marriage secrets being revealed as this health boss worth
- 2:31Speaker 1: millions of dollars is gunned down and open around the public.
- 2:37Speaker 1: What do we make of clues left behind? Cryptic and
- 2:41Speaker 1: odd clues? For instance, bullets found actually had been inscribed
- 2:48Speaker 1: with letters on them. A cell phone had been left behind.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Is there DNA on a water bottle? Was this a pro?
- 2:57Speaker 1: A silencer was used and in the middle of the assassination,
- 3:02Speaker 1: the gun jams and seemingly the pro shooter simply adjusted
- 3:09Speaker 1: and continued firing. Everyone. Thank you for being with us.
- 3:15Speaker 1: If this can happen in public. What are we to
- 3:18Speaker 1: think of it? Well, take a listen to what the
- 3:21Speaker 1: chief of Detectives has to say.
- 3:22Speaker 3: This morning, at six forty six am, patrol offices from
- 3:25Speaker 3: Midtown North Preestinct responded to a nine to one one
- 3:28Speaker 3: call of a person shot in front of the Hilton
- 3:30Speaker 3: Hotel located at thirteen thirty five Avenue of the Americas.
- 3:33Speaker 3: This is between West fifty third Street and West fifty
- 3:36Speaker 3: fourth Street. At six forty eight am, officers arrive and
- 3:39Speaker 3: find the victim, Brian R.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Thompson, a fifty.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Year old male, on the sidewalk in front of the Hilton,
- 3:45Speaker 3: with gunshot wounds to his back and leg.
- 3:47Speaker 1: You know, the way the sheoter handled the weapon, the
- 3:50Speaker 1: use of a silencer, the mask, the lying in wait
- 3:53Speaker 1: all indicates a professional hit. But a pro wouldn't want
- 3:58Speaker 1: to be caught. A pro would do everything not to
- 4:02Speaker 1: get caught. So then why we're there, especially engraved bullets
- 4:08Speaker 1: with cryptic messages on them? Mm mmmm, it sounds like
- 4:13Speaker 1: a fifth grade girl riding a crime thriller. Something's way
- 4:18Speaker 1: off with this. Joining me and all Star panel to
- 4:21Speaker 1: make sense of what we know right now. But first
- 4:23Speaker 1: straight out to investigative reporter Lauren Conlin joining US co
- 4:27Speaker 1: host Primetime Crime on YouTube and you can find her
- 4:30Speaker 1: at Popcrime dot tv. Who has gone to the scene
- 4:33Speaker 1: and investigated Lauren, what can you tell us, Yes.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Nancy, on the street, the entire street of West fifty
- 4:39Speaker 4: third Street was blocked off. There was plane clothes detectives
- 4:44Speaker 4: as well as uniformed officers basically not saying anything. I
- 4:50Speaker 4: asked questions.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I asked witnesses if.
- 4:52Speaker 4: They heard anything, and the parking lot attendants were actually
- 4:56Speaker 4: there earlier that morning, but they said, you know, due
- 4:59Speaker 4: to the silencer, they didn't hear anything.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Tell me your understanding, what you learned of what happened,
- 5:04Speaker 1: Starting at the beginning.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Starting at the beginning, I learned that Brian Thompson arrived
- 5:09Speaker 4: in New York Monday. Now he was not staying at
- 5:13Speaker 4: the Hilton. He was staying at a hotel across the street.
- 5:16Speaker 4: He was set to speak at eight am at their
- 5:19Speaker 4: annual investors conference, and he was arriving early at six
- 5:25Speaker 4: forty five. So as he walked into the entrance of
- 5:30Speaker 4: the Hilton, it was revealed by NYPD that this gunman
- 5:35Speaker 4: was allegedly lying in wait before he shot him.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Take a listen to Chief Detective Joe Kenny.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Mister Thompson was removed by ems or Roosevelt Hospital, where
- 5:45Speaker 3: he was pronounced dead at seven to twelve am. Mister
- 5:48Speaker 3: Thompson is the CEO of United Healthcare and resides in Minnesota.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Detectives from Nightwatch, Midtown North Detective Squad, and Manhattan South
- 5:56Speaker 3: Homicad responded to the scene and began their investigation.
- 5:58Speaker 1: We're learning a lot. I want to go straight out
- 6:00Speaker 1: to Bill Daily joining us from New York. Former FBI
- 6:05Speaker 1: investigator forends At photography international security expert. Bill, thank you
- 6:10Speaker 1: for being with us. You see the video steals we're showing.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I don't know that a pro would have done this
- 6:17Speaker 1: right in front of a surveillance video.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Well, exactly right, Nancy. Is that you know people throw
- 6:22Speaker 5: on this thing about you know professional hitmen. I mean
- 6:25Speaker 5: those are those are out of the movies. I mean,
- 6:26Speaker 5: this could be somebody who trained, who thought it out. Well,
- 6:29Speaker 5: obviously he's done a lot of reconnaissance and research, but
- 6:32Speaker 5: we're talking about professional hit people. That's something made in
- 6:36Speaker 5: the movies. I would say, Nancy, A couple of things
- 6:38Speaker 5: I'm quite familiar with this area. Being a New Yorker
- 6:40Speaker 5: and having worked on the streets of New York for
- 6:42Speaker 5: what a number of years, is that this is actually
- 6:44Speaker 5: the side entrance the missus Thompson was apparently staying around
- 6:48Speaker 5: the corner. We believe that they marry a hotel, which
- 6:51Speaker 5: actually gave him a couple of avenues of approach to
- 6:54Speaker 5: the hotel. This is the side interest the managers on
- 6:57Speaker 5: sixth Avenue. So for this gunman to know that he
- 6:59Speaker 5: was going to be me down the side street at
- 7:02Speaker 5: this time suggested to me there was some other reconnaissance
- 7:05Speaker 5: inside information that he knew that he was at another hotel.
- 7:08Speaker 5: He wasn't saying at the Hilton that he could be
- 7:10Speaker 5: coming down this street. Tompson could have easy walked around
- 7:13Speaker 5: seventh Avenue to come down fifty fifth Street or another
- 7:15Speaker 5: street to grab a cup of coffee, but he didn't.
- 7:17Speaker 5: And so there are a couple of things out here
- 7:18Speaker 5: that kind of jump out to me that are really
- 7:20Speaker 5: concerning with your guard to how much information was known
- 7:23Speaker 5: about the specific movements of mister Thompson that morning.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Bill Daly, I know exactly what you mean about that location,
- 7:30Speaker 1: But wouldn't it have been easy for the perp the
- 7:34Speaker 1: killer to be waiting in the lobby waiting for the victim,
- 7:38Speaker 1: Brian Thompson, to walk out. He didn't have to be
- 7:41Speaker 1: lying in wait at that side entrance. He could have
- 7:45Speaker 1: simply followed him. He did come up behind him.
- 7:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there are a couple of things here
- 7:49Speaker 5: in Nancy, that is true. And in fact, if he
- 7:51Speaker 5: knew if he was going to be speaking of the conference,
- 7:53Speaker 5: he didn't have to be waiting outside. He could have
- 7:55Speaker 5: done it just in the lobby, upstairs, in an elevator
- 7:58Speaker 5: or some other other place where he knew there was
- 7:59Speaker 5: kind of kind of cool chow point where he would
- 8:02Speaker 5: have had to travel through in order to get to
- 8:03Speaker 5: the conference. The other thing is that which kind of
- 8:06Speaker 5: points to perhaps something more someone from the area or
- 8:09Speaker 5: from the region, is the fact that mister Simpson lives
- 8:11Speaker 5: out in Minnesota. The day to day he comes to
- 8:14Speaker 5: and from work, he comes to and from his home,
- 8:15Speaker 5: he goes perhaps to see maybe his children's sporting events,
- 8:18Speaker 5: who knows what. But those are kind of open areas,
- 8:22Speaker 5: other areas where he could have been a target. But
- 8:23Speaker 5: yet this was done in New York City, where he
- 8:26Speaker 5: doesn't live, where he was visiting where this person would
- 8:28Speaker 5: have only had a couple of days opportunity for any
- 8:31Speaker 5: kind of reconnaissance and kind of staging this event. And
- 8:33Speaker 5: so it kind of leads me to suggest that this
- 8:36Speaker 5: person chose New York either because it's more difficult. You
- 8:38Speaker 5: can get lost in the city, you can do things
- 8:40Speaker 5: like this, it could disappear into Central Park and perhaps
- 8:43Speaker 5: try to hide your trails, you know, or it was
- 8:45Speaker 5: a matter of convenience that the person was in and
- 8:47Speaker 5: around the area and didn't have to travel to Minnesota.
- 8:49Speaker 1: You're right. The victim in town to speak at an
- 8:53Speaker 1: investor conference.
- 8:54Speaker 6: Listen, the victim was in New York City to speak
- 8:56Speaker 6: at an investor conference. It appears a suspect was lying
- 8:59Speaker 6: in wait for several minutes, and as the victim was
- 9:02Speaker 6: walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind
- 9:06Speaker 6: and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once
- 9:11Speaker 6: in the back and at least once in the right calf.
- 9:14Speaker 6: Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait
- 9:18Speaker 6: for his intended target.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Well, it's clearly targeted, Bill Daly. There is no robbery,
- 9:25Speaker 1: there is no car jacking, there is no sex attack,
- 9:29Speaker 1: so it's targeted. Can we look at the photo of
- 9:34Speaker 1: the suspect's face? Now, we keep hearing we don't know
- 9:39Speaker 1: much about him, but I can tell you right now
- 9:41Speaker 1: he's white. Number one. He knows enough to cover his face.
- 9:46Speaker 1: But I see that he is not wearing gloves. To
- 9:51Speaker 1: Lauren Colin, what can you tell me about a discarded
- 9:53Speaker 1: water bottle?
- 9:54Speaker 4: The discarded water bottle, Nancy, was found in the alleyway,
- 9:58Speaker 4: which is between fifty and fifty fourth Street. It's the
- 10:01Speaker 4: zig Field Ballroom Alleyway.
- 10:04Speaker 1: A pro would not leave behind a water bottle. A
- 10:08Speaker 1: pro wouldn't even be drinking anything right before you've murdered somebody.
- 10:13Speaker 5: Exactly right, and Ncy, And go to my suggestion, this
- 10:15Speaker 5: person orchestrated this and pre planned it. I thought it out.
- 10:20Speaker 5: You speak about perhaps the weapon a little bit later on.
- 10:22Speaker 5: All these things tying to somebody who is knowledgeable about
- 10:25Speaker 5: only what they were doing, but certainly not a professional.
- 10:28Speaker 5: That's somebody we might see kind of portrayed in the movies.
- 10:31Speaker 5: These people would be much more sub rosa about their efforts,
- 10:35Speaker 5: would kind of not be seen beforehand. And I'm going
- 10:37Speaker 5: to suggest to you is that besides this video and
- 10:39Speaker 5: these images we have now as that police are looking
- 10:42Speaker 5: to kind of put together both the timeline and his trail,
- 10:45Speaker 5: there'll be some more coming out and we'll we'll have
- 10:47Speaker 5: some more facial images. Perhaps the DNA may help, but
- 10:51Speaker 5: as we all know, working these cases, because you need
- 10:53Speaker 5: to have something to compare it to, you need to
- 10:55Speaker 5: have some database to compared to, or using ancestral DNA,
- 10:59Speaker 5: perhaps hire this person back to someone else and work
- 11:02Speaker 5: through that angle. So even though we have all these things,
- 11:06Speaker 5: and it could be who knows, maybe fragmented fingerprints on
- 11:10Speaker 5: the bot casings or other evidence left behind, but again
- 11:13Speaker 5: you need something to compare it to.
- 11:15Speaker 3: What we know is that the shooter arrived at the
- 11:17Speaker 3: location on foot about five minutes prior to the victim's arrival.
- 11:20Speaker 3: He stands alongside the building line as numerous other people
- 11:23Speaker 3: and pedestrians pass him by. From video, we see at
- 11:27Speaker 3: six forty four am, the victim is walking alone towards
- 11:30Speaker 3: the Hilton after exiting his hotel across the street. We
- 11:34Speaker 3: believe the victim was headed to the Hilton Hotel to
- 11:36Speaker 3: attend the United Health Group investors conference that was scheduled
- 11:39Speaker 3: to start at eight am.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Let me look at that stance one more time where
- 11:42Speaker 1: the shooter is pointing pointing the gun at the victim.
- 11:49Speaker 1: You know, everybody on the panel jump in, but Bill
- 11:52Speaker 1: Danley look at that. It looks like someone has been
- 11:56Speaker 1: watching too many movies and they think that's a profession
- 12:00Speaker 1: killer stance. You see that right there. I'm just telling you, Look,
- 12:06Speaker 1: he doesn't have on gloves. He's been hanging out, drinking
- 12:09Speaker 1: from a water bottle that he leaves behind. I also
- 12:13Speaker 1: understand a cell phone has been left behind. And then
- 12:17Speaker 1: he gets on a city bike. It reminds me of
- 12:21Speaker 1: a bank robbery I prosecuted where the purp had a
- 12:25Speaker 1: bike waiting around the corner. He was anything but a
- 12:27Speaker 1: pro and he pedaled off just like this guy is doing.
- 12:33Speaker 1: What do you make of that?
- 12:34Speaker 5: Bial Yeah, all these things kind of add up to
- 12:36Speaker 5: the fact that this person, again gave some thought. But
- 12:39Speaker 5: yet it's about quote professional I mean, we really don't
- 12:42Speaker 5: have these kind of quote professional hitment throughout the country.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Maybe the mafia does, but we're not talking about people
- 12:47Speaker 5: knocking off executive So this doesn't happen in the United States.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Perhaps overseas, and perhaps a concern when people travel the
- 12:53Speaker 5: high risk locations, but certainly not in New York City.
- 12:55Speaker 5: But I probably tell you is that both that stance
- 12:58Speaker 5: is kind of a suggestion that the person thought they
- 13:01Speaker 5: knew what they were doing, but also the fact that
- 13:04Speaker 5: this gun jam the jam several times apparently rights at
- 13:07Speaker 5: each shot. According to police, they believe that it jammed
- 13:10Speaker 5: maybe because there was a silencer on the front, a
- 13:13Speaker 5: silencer that perhaps caused the jam to occur. But he
- 13:15Speaker 5: did clear it very quickly and efficiently, So he's somebody
- 13:18Speaker 5: who did do some practice training with that weapon beforehand.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Well, well, Lauren Colin, the gun jammed more than once.
- 13:26Speaker 4: Apparently it jammed between shots, but you know that didn't
- 13:30Speaker 4: stop him, so he kept shooting after.
- 13:32Speaker 1: He saw The answer is yes, Okay, that's telling me
- 13:35Speaker 1: a lot right there, daily, daily, daily, A pro is
- 13:39Speaker 1: going to take a gun that jams between every shot?
- 13:42Speaker 2: Really?
- 13:43Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I'm going to some of the forensic guess
- 13:45Speaker 5: versus that by using that silencer, and again, silencers are
- 13:48Speaker 5: nothings that you were supposed to legally have, so if
- 13:51Speaker 5: it was homemade, it could have caused more of this
- 13:53Speaker 5: kind of malfunction of the weapon. But again, it did
- 13:57Speaker 5: seem as though calmly he cleared that weapon, he was
- 14:00Speaker 5: able to pull a slide on the.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Top daily did you say homemade? Look, this is whoo,
- 14:08Speaker 1: this is melan. This is not a pro I don't
- 14:11Speaker 1: even know where that came from. A homemade silence, homemade silencer,
- 14:20Speaker 1: but come on, man, a homemade silencer that doesn't work,
- 14:25Speaker 1: A pretend professional killer stance, drinking a water bottle and
- 14:29Speaker 1: leaving it behind and hopping on a bike without gloves
- 14:32Speaker 1: and taking off no no, uh uh, I gotta figure
- 14:38Speaker 1: this thing out, guys. Why was a health ceo worth
- 14:43Speaker 1: millions of dollars gunned down in public? Early early morning?
- 14:51Speaker 1: Many people saying it's a.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Pro killer to shoot it?
- 14:55Speaker 3: Then flees on foot northbound into an alleyway between fifty
- 14:57Speaker 3: fourth Street and fifty fifth Street. Once at West fifty
- 15:01Speaker 3: fifth Street, the shooter continues to walk westbound on the
- 15:03Speaker 3: Avenue in Americas, where he gets onto an electric e
- 15:05Speaker 3: city bike and rides northbound on the Avenue Americas towards
- 15:10Speaker 3: Central Park. At six forty eight am, we have the
- 15:13Speaker 3: shooter riding this bike into Central Park at Center Drive.
- 15:16Speaker 3: We're still tracking video. The last we see with him
- 15:18Speaker 3: on that bike is in Central Park. At the scene,
- 15:21Speaker 3: we recover three live nine millimeters rounds and three discharged
- 15:25Speaker 3: nine milimeters shell casings. The motor for this murder currently
- 15:29Speaker 3: is unknown, but based on the evidence we have so far,
- 15:32Speaker 3: it does appear that the victim was specifically targeted. But
- 15:35Speaker 3: at this point we do not know why. This does
- 15:38Speaker 3: not appear to be a random act of violence.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Okay, I know that, I know it's not random. Joining
- 15:42Speaker 1: me high profile lawyer BERNARDA. Vielona, New York criminal defense attorney.
- 15:47Speaker 1: This is her beat. She is also a former prosecutor. Bernardo,
- 15:51Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. What do you make
- 15:53Speaker 1: of it so far? Because not only did the pro
- 15:56Speaker 1: assassin lead behind the discharged nine millimere shellcasings, they were
- 16:03Speaker 1: engraved with three cryptic words. I mean, it's straight out
- 16:09Speaker 1: of a crime novel and another saying, BERNARDA. Anybody that
- 16:14Speaker 1: knows how to type goog l E can find out
- 16:19Speaker 1: this guy was speaking where and at what time?
- 16:21Speaker 7: Yeah, but I still think there's an inside job because
- 16:24Speaker 7: in a sense of they could have known where he
- 16:25Speaker 7: was speaking, but they wouldn't have known exactly what time
- 16:28Speaker 7: he would have been leaving out of his hotel because
- 16:30Speaker 7: remember this shooter had only been waiting about five minutes,
- 16:34Speaker 7: so he had to have had some kind of inside
- 16:36Speaker 7: information to know the exact time that Brian Thompson would
- 16:40Speaker 7: have been leaving his hotel. Look, all of this looks
- 16:43Speaker 7: very shady. I don't think it's a professional kill at all,
- 16:45Speaker 7: because number one, believing of the showcases and the bullets
- 16:49Speaker 7: there and then jumping on a bike. I think there's
- 16:52Speaker 7: a lot more to this. I don't see that there's
- 16:54Speaker 7: going to be an arrest anytime soon, though.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Hold on, just mom on that daily bill daily with
- 17:02Speaker 1: me former FBI investigator and joining us from New York,
- 17:05Speaker 1: intimately familiar with the ins and outs the alleyways where
- 17:10Speaker 1: this happened. The guy then goes to Central Park. That
- 17:14Speaker 1: was a pretty good move, and it's not that far
- 17:17Speaker 1: from where the shooting was by bike. But he goes
- 17:20Speaker 1: into Central Park, which is blanketed with surveillance videos, I mean,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and we can follow his drail. He had to ditch
- 17:29Speaker 1: the bike somewhere. I think that we're going to find
- 17:32Speaker 1: out where he leaves the bike. And again no gloves.
- 17:36Speaker 1: As you said earlier, of course you got to have
- 17:38Speaker 1: something to compare it to. If he's not in the
- 17:40Speaker 1: DNA or the APHIST database, we don't have anything to
- 17:44Speaker 1: match it too. But that said, can we just agree
- 17:49Speaker 1: this is not a pro Yeah, I surely agree it's
- 17:52Speaker 1: not a pro.
- 17:52Speaker 5: I also think that there's a there are probably kind
- 17:55Speaker 5: of breadcrumbs left behind, is that you know if this
- 17:58Speaker 5: was connected with either the business because of see that
- 18:02Speaker 5: either of the had been a customer who was certainly
- 18:06Speaker 5: totally upset and obsessed with this individual, or perhaps a
- 18:09Speaker 5: former employee. That could have been a number of things.
- 18:12Speaker 5: But I think there you have to go back and
- 18:14Speaker 5: start looking at with their threats against the company. Apparently
- 18:16Speaker 5: according to the victim's wife there were, and if there were,
- 18:20Speaker 5: who was making those and what was the steps?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Start up with what you're just saying, Bill Daily, Lauren Conlin. Now,
- 18:28Speaker 1: according to one person there have been threats on the
- 18:32Speaker 1: victim's line, and that is his wife. Were those threats
- 18:37Speaker 1: ever reported to la law enforcement? Nancy?
- 18:40Speaker 4: Those threats were never reported to law enforcement?
- 18:43Speaker 1: With me also is Scott Iiker founding member. I can't
- 18:47Speaker 1: say this enough of the FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey team.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Can I just say he didn't just fall off the
- 18:55Speaker 1: turnip truck people. Iiker, if I was going to pick
- 18:59Speaker 1: him off, I would go somewhere with a silencer and
- 19:03Speaker 1: wait out in the middle of nowhere, right let his
- 19:06Speaker 1: body lay there for three or four hours before anybody
- 19:09Speaker 1: figures anything out. So why intentionally find him in New
- 19:14Speaker 1: York City?
- 19:15Speaker 8: I agree, there's a lot of other places that you
- 19:17Speaker 8: could have done this murder, but there's a lot of
- 19:20Speaker 8: benefits of doing it in a crowded city also. I mean,
- 19:23Speaker 8: if you think about it, you might be able to
- 19:25Speaker 8: mix in with the regular people walking to and from work,
- 19:28Speaker 8: cars and everything like that. He didn't think about all
- 19:31Speaker 8: the cameras in the area. He didn't think about all
- 19:34Speaker 8: the people that might see a different things. And obviously
- 19:37Speaker 8: I agree with the other gentleman that says I don't
- 19:40Speaker 8: think this guy is a professional. I do think he
- 19:42Speaker 8: has some training. I mean, I was on the FBI
- 19:45Speaker 8: SWAT team. I shot twice a week, and I can
- 19:49Speaker 8: see that type of stance that he had some training
- 19:52Speaker 8: for him to do that malfunction. Clear clear that gon
- 19:56Speaker 8: shoot again, clear it, clear it. That takes training time.
- 20:00Speaker 8: So I think, at least in my mind, he's made
- 20:03Speaker 8: a lot of mistakes, but I don't think he's a professional.
- 20:06Speaker 8: I totally agree with that. But he has had some drink.
- 20:09Speaker 1: And we are learning more from Chief of Detectives Joe Kenney.
- 20:13Speaker 3: From speaking to other employees that traveled with him to
- 20:15Speaker 3: New York. Doesn't seem that he had these security detail.
- 20:18Speaker 3: He left the hotel by himself, was walking, didn't seem
- 20:21Speaker 3: like he had any issues at all. So I don't
- 20:24Speaker 3: think he did not have his security detail.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Lauren Conlin correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't there
- 20:30Speaker 1: just a firefighter's pension fund that sued the victim because
- 20:36Speaker 1: he dumped about thirty one percent of his stock made
- 20:40Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars just before everything went south, right, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: there's a complaint about that. Yeah, that's happening. The wife
- 20:50Speaker 1: says there's death threats. He's worth millions of dollars and
- 20:55Speaker 1: he doesn't have security detail.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Yes, his net worth is forty three million dollars. And
- 21:00Speaker 4: not only that, I found a plethora of lawsuits. He
- 21:04Speaker 4: was accused of creating an algorithm to deny patients' coverage.
- 21:10Speaker 4: So I found quite a few lawsuits there. And then additionally,
- 21:14Speaker 4: there was a data breach A few I believe it
- 21:17Speaker 4: was February of twenty twenty four, where many many people
- 21:21Speaker 4: were at risk and not happy.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace at the very beginning after
- 21:35Speaker 1: the murder, Mangioni somehow managed to attract an amazing legion
- 21:42Speaker 1: of fans, fascinations, sympathy. They flooded social media with memes,
- 21:47Speaker 1: they sell t shirts. But even now, a full year later,
- 21:53Speaker 1: they're still hot and heavy on the trail supporting the
- 21:58Speaker 1: twenty seven year old A League grad amazingly. While Mangioni
- 22:05Speaker 1: claims he suffered from chronic back pain, although the photos
- 22:08Speaker 1: I see are him frolicking on the beach and actually
- 22:11Speaker 1: lifting up girls and tickling them. He did not have
- 22:16Speaker 1: United Healthcare insurance, so I'm not sure how he targeted
- 22:20Speaker 1: Brian Thompson. But this is what happened. Listen to this.
- 22:24Speaker 1: It's just like a fifth grade girl writes an action thriller,
- 22:28Speaker 1: or tries to listen.
- 22:29Speaker 9: Police have released a new chilling detail in the assassination
- 22:32Speaker 9: style shooting. Three live rounds and three shellcasings recovered from
- 22:36Speaker 9: the crime scene, and cops are now saying there are
- 22:38Speaker 9: inscriptions on the shellcasings the words deny, defend, and depose
- 22:44Speaker 9: were engraved on the bullets.
- 22:45Speaker 1: So the words deny, defend, and depose were engraved on
- 22:51Speaker 1: the bullets. By who the local jeweler joining me right
- 22:56Speaker 1: now is a ballistics expert. Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics,
- 23:00Speaker 1: Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and star of a hit series Body Bags with Joe
- 23:07Speaker 1: Scott Morgan. Joe Scott Really, okay, I can't hammer this
- 23:12Speaker 1: enough a pro What did they write it in? Fancy cursivey, defend,
- 23:18Speaker 1: depos Seriously, that sounds like the ransom note left behind
- 23:23Speaker 1: in John Benay a small foreign faction once one hundred
- 23:26Speaker 1: and eighteen thousand dollars stop.
- 23:28Speaker 10: What's really fascinating about this, Nancy, is the fact that
- 23:32Speaker 10: they've got three spent casings that are on the ground,
- 23:34Speaker 10: and then they have the three live rounds, and he's
- 23:38Speaker 10: having to try to clear this weapon because he's had
- 23:40Speaker 10: a malfunction, which actually does occur with some frequency when
- 23:46Speaker 10: you have a suppressed weapon. And the fact that he
- 23:51Speaker 10: had engraving and I keep hearing this term, this engraving
- 23:55Speaker 10: that was only casing the fact that he had a
- 24:02Speaker 10: jam in the weapon. I would think that it would
- 24:06Speaker 10: be engraved on all of the rounds, So how can
- 24:09Speaker 10: you plan for that, for instance, that these rounds are stacked,
- 24:11Speaker 10: which they would be in a magazine, and every time
- 24:16Speaker 10: he clears it, he's going to eject a live round
- 24:20Speaker 10: as opposed to those that were spent when he was firing.
- 24:23Speaker 10: If you watch the sequence on a video, he fires
- 24:26Speaker 10: once and then it looks like he clears, but he
- 24:30Speaker 10: may have actually cleared two rounds at that point time
- 24:33Speaker 10: that we're still live because the weapon is jamming on
- 24:36Speaker 10: him and he has to cycle through it, so he's
- 24:39Speaker 10: taken a lot of time. My suspicion is it might
- 24:42Speaker 10: be there might be engraving on all of the rounds,
- 24:45Speaker 10: and that he has taken a lot of time somewhere,
- 24:48Speaker 10: probably you know, at home or wherever it is. He
- 24:51Speaker 10: shows up prepared to a certain degree, although he didn't
- 24:54Speaker 10: wear gloves and he didn't fully mask his face. There's
- 24:59Speaker 10: a lot still to kind of untangle here, but that
- 25:01Speaker 10: point is certainly fascinating. I've never encountered this before in
- 25:06Speaker 10: my years in forensics to this degree. Now, Hollywood makes
- 25:10Speaker 10: a big deal out of this kind of thing, but
- 25:12Speaker 10: it's just not something you commonly run into. My question
- 25:16Speaker 10: is what's the skill level of the engraving, in addition
- 25:21Speaker 10: to attempting to define how this was engraved, what instrumentality
- 25:27Speaker 10: was used, and then maybe the folks will be able
- 25:30Speaker 10: to pick up on some form in his writing if
- 25:32Speaker 10: he's doing this freehand.
- 25:34Speaker 9: Brian Thompson's wife Paulette tells NBC News that Brian has
- 25:37Speaker 9: been receiving death threats. She doesn't go into detail, saying
- 25:40Speaker 9: it was basically due to a lack of coverage. She
- 25:43Speaker 9: doesn't know exactly, but Brian said there were some people
- 25:46Speaker 9: that had been threatening him.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Straight back out to Joe Scott Morgan joining us. Jo Scott,
- 25:52Speaker 1: if I said earlier, if there was a death thout
- 25:54Speaker 1: on my husband a I would let him travel alone
- 25:57Speaker 1: to New York. I would at least go with him
- 26:00Speaker 1: at the very least. But that said, they have children
- 26:02Speaker 1: to take care of back at home. But no security detail,
- 26:06Speaker 1: no police reports, nothing, And she is the only one
- 26:11Speaker 1: coming forward with the alleged threats if they weren't reported
- 26:14Speaker 1: to police, can anyone within the company verify this ever happened?
- 26:19Speaker 10: Well, he hasn't spoken of this to anybody that's around him,
- 26:23Speaker 10: But why would he not, you know, say something about this.
- 26:27Speaker 10: And let me tell you one more thing. A guy
- 26:29Speaker 10: that is in his atmosphere. You know, we see all
- 26:31Speaker 10: these so called celebrities that are out there that have
- 26:34Speaker 10: these you know, security details with it. This is a guy, Nancy,
- 26:39Speaker 10: that actually has a level of value and would heighten
- 26:44Speaker 10: anybody's a census relative to the danger he could potentially
- 26:49Speaker 10: be in. Why wouldn't you put a couple of people
- 26:52Speaker 10: on him to check the wout at least to be
- 26:54Speaker 10: body people that are going to score him around. Maybe
- 26:57Speaker 10: he didn't want that. I have no idea, but I
- 27:00Speaker 10: do know that he's a prime target. It's just fascinating
- 27:03Speaker 10: to me that they chose this particular location, this individual
- 27:06Speaker 10: went about it in this manner because I agree with
- 27:09Speaker 10: all of the other panelists. I think this guy has
- 27:11Speaker 10: some weapons familiarity, but he is in no way of
- 27:15Speaker 10: pro If he had been a pro, we would not
- 27:18Speaker 10: have seen the video last that long.
- 27:22Speaker 1: If you're sitting down, you may need to lay down
- 27:25Speaker 1: for what you're about to hear. Take a listen.
- 27:27Speaker 9: The suspect was reportedly spoted outside a public housing project
- 27:30Speaker 9: roughly three miles from the crime scene at five am,
- 27:32Speaker 9: caring would look like an e bike battery. He's then
- 27:35Speaker 9: seen again checking out at Starbucks not far from the Hilton,
- 27:38Speaker 9: in just minutes before the attack. It's unclear what exactly
- 27:41Speaker 9: the suspect purchase, but police believe a water bottle and
- 27:44Speaker 9: candy wrapper left at the crime scene may belong to
- 27:47Speaker 9: the shooter and are testing the items for latent fingerprints
- 27:49Speaker 9: and DNA.
- 27:50Speaker 1: The next thing we're going to hear, Lauren Colin, is
- 27:52Speaker 1: that the shooter used a credit card. I mean, he
- 27:55Speaker 1: hung out at a Starbucks just before the shooting, and
- 28:00Speaker 1: of course places himself at a public housing project. Yeah,
- 28:04Speaker 1: that's right. Blame the people of the housing project somehow
- 28:07Speaker 1: drag that into it. I guarantee that was orchestrated three
- 28:10Speaker 1: miles from the scene with what looked to be carrying
- 28:14Speaker 1: an e bike battery. In cases e bike crapped out
- 28:18Speaker 1: on him. Now, at first, this is reported to be
- 28:20Speaker 1: a city bike, the kind that are easily accessed all
- 28:23Speaker 1: around New York City. Now we're hearing it may not
- 28:25Speaker 1: be a city bike. That said, then he's at Starbucks
- 28:30Speaker 1: just beside the Hilton minutes before the attack, staring straight
- 28:33Speaker 1: into the surveillance cameras, So there's not just a water
- 28:37Speaker 1: bottle he leaves behind a candy wrapper. Somebody needs a
- 28:40Speaker 1: bit of honey, somebody wants the starbars before a murder.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Yes, And there also have been reports that NYPD believes
- 28:48Speaker 4: that he may have actually taken this subway from the
- 28:51Speaker 4: Upper west Side to Midtown and to that Starbucks.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Wait, then, if he was on the Upper west Side
- 29:00Speaker 1: and he's spotted at a housing project, there's not a
- 29:04Speaker 1: housing project on the Upper west Side, Okay, that's where
- 29:07Speaker 1: all the rich people live. To look down on Central Park,
- 29:10Speaker 1: there's not a housing project there. So does he leave
- 29:12Speaker 1: the Upper West to go to a housing project to
- 29:15Speaker 1: be spotted and then go to the Starbucks.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Well, that's what police are trying to figure out.
- 29:19Speaker 1: And I didn't.
- 29:21Speaker 4: Well, I'm hoping that he did take the subway because
- 29:23Speaker 4: Mayor Eric Adams did implement more cameras earlier this year.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Okay, I got a lot of surveillance on this guy,
- 29:30Speaker 1: but you're right, subway would help me figure out where
- 29:33Speaker 1: he's coming from, where he's going, and how he knows
- 29:37Speaker 1: those paths. I'm still flummoxed by the fact that he
- 29:42Speaker 1: would leave a water bottle with his DNA on it,
- 29:47Speaker 1: a candy wrapper, take a bike, no gloves, has a
- 29:51Speaker 1: pretend pro shooter stance, and has engraved bullets. For Pete's sake,
- 29:57Speaker 1: why not just throw down your driver's license before you
- 30:00Speaker 1: when you leave? Okay, Now we hear about a potential
- 30:04Speaker 1: eyewitness that goes on the run.
- 30:07Speaker 9: Police still have not identified the eyewitness who ran from
- 30:10Speaker 9: the scene as Thompson was gunned down. A woman dressed
- 30:12Speaker 9: in dark clothing and holding a coffee cup was standing
- 30:15Speaker 9: in a doorway just feet away from Thompson when the
- 30:17Speaker 9: shooter opened fire. She runs along the building toward the
- 30:20Speaker 9: shooter to avoid the gunfire, and disappears from frame. Authorities
- 30:23Speaker 9: are asking her to come forward, hoping she may be
- 30:26Speaker 9: able to provide new details on the shooter.
- 30:28Speaker 3: As a cull phone recovered in the alleyway. We're working
- 30:30Speaker 3: through that cell phone. Obviously, we'll be processing it forensically
- 30:33Speaker 3: at as far as words being exchanged. We do not
- 30:35Speaker 3: have audio of the incident. We only have the regular videoing.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Nothing for well, there's one witness standing right next to
- 30:42Speaker 3: the victim when he was shot. We're still trying to
- 30:43Speaker 3: identify that victim. Excuse me, excuse me that witness.
- 30:46Speaker 1: And we also learn that law enforcement has turned their
- 30:50Speaker 1: attention back home to Minnesota once again.
- 30:54Speaker 3: We're looking at everything. We're looking at his social media,
- 30:57Speaker 3: we are interviewing employees, we are interviewing family members. We
- 31:00Speaker 3: will be speaking to law enforcement in Minnesota.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, billboards, thousands of dollars, thousands
- 31:17Speaker 1: of letters supporting the so called healthcare assassin. Will it
- 31:22Speaker 1: matter in court? Will public opinion matter? It certainly did
- 31:25Speaker 1: in the case of Sean Diddy Coombs. This is what
- 31:29Speaker 1: I know is true, these facts. This is what happened.
- 31:33Speaker 11: No one, what is the address of your emergency?
- 31:36Speaker 5: That's really an emergency.
- 31:37Speaker 11: I have a customer here that.
- 31:41Speaker 10: Some other customers were suspicious of that he looks like
- 31:43Speaker 10: the CEO shooter from New York.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Okay, straight out to Kila Brantley, joining US investigative reporter
- 31:52Speaker 1: at large dailymail dot com. Did they actually say in
- 31:57Speaker 1: court that their client, Luigi Angioni is the victim because
- 32:01Speaker 1: his quote beautiful, promising life has been derailed.
- 32:06Speaker 12: Yeah, Nancy, As you mentioned, his team did paint him
- 32:10Speaker 12: as someone with a promising future. Now, one thing that
- 32:13Speaker 12: had been documented was that Luigi suffered from debilitating back pain.
- 32:18Speaker 12: This was something that he went through. He went through
- 32:20Speaker 12: back surgery. And one thing that they say here is
- 32:23Speaker 12: that the real enemy here is the medical system, and
- 32:28Speaker 12: that is one thing that you can definitely expect.
- 32:30Speaker 1: His legal team argue, Kila, can I believe you are
- 32:35Speaker 1: my lieon eyes control room? Please show me him a
- 32:39Speaker 1: running along the beach in Hawaii. I've got videos of
- 32:43Speaker 1: him lifting up girls and tickling them. It's a video.
- 32:48Speaker 1: They're all giggling hysterically, including him. I've got photos of
- 32:52Speaker 1: him lounging by the beach. I'd love to see those
- 32:55Speaker 1: photos of him hiking and what looks to be a
- 32:58Speaker 1: jungle rainfall. Oh, he is feeling no pain there, Cali Brantley,
- 33:03Speaker 1: I hope you don't fall for that look like and seeker.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Doctor Judy Hoe, did you know that Luigimanngioni is apparently
- 33:09Speaker 1: the victim in this scenario? Doctor Judy Hoe is joining
- 33:13Speaker 1: US clinical forensic neuro psychologist, author of the New Rules
- 33:17Speaker 1: of Attachment and another bestseller, Stop Self Sabotage. You need
- 33:23Speaker 1: to write one, doctor Judy Hoe, about try to tell
- 33:25Speaker 1: the truth and then send it. You know, I'll pay
- 33:28Speaker 1: for it and we can send it to Luigi Mangioni.
- 33:31Speaker 1: He is not the victim here, but you know you
- 33:34Speaker 1: can't count out the defense attorney Agnefello. He got Sean
- 33:39Speaker 1: Combs off on the major accusations in that indictment. So
- 33:44Speaker 1: no matter how ridiculous I may think he sounds, he
- 33:48Speaker 1: essentially won that case. Yes, his defense team that claims
- 33:53Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni is the victim. I want to read it,
- 33:56Speaker 1: doctor Judy Hope. Beautiful promising life drailed by those irritating
- 34:01Speaker 1: murder charges.
- 34:02Speaker 13: Judy, Wow, beautiful promising life, Nancy, what a narrative. And
- 34:09Speaker 13: as you said, even though he's not the victim. I
- 34:11Speaker 13: think this is why there has been a fan base, though,
- 34:14Speaker 13: because there's these individuals who actually believe maybe he is
- 34:17Speaker 13: a victim, that he's some type of anti hero, that
- 34:20Speaker 13: he's misunderstood.
- 34:22Speaker 14: And oftentimes we.
- 34:23Speaker 13: See this in individuals who might act charismatically, they just
- 34:28Speaker 13: seem to pull people in. And it's weird because a
- 34:32Speaker 13: lot of these people who develop this sort of fan
- 34:36Speaker 13: fanhood around Luigi, they're kind of thinking, well, maybe I
- 34:39Speaker 13: can be a special person in his life, maybe he'll
- 34:42Speaker 13: pay attention to me, maybe I can even develop a
- 34:45Speaker 13: friendship with this person. This person might learn to trust me.
- 34:48Speaker 13: It's really interesting, but some of it actually has to
- 34:50Speaker 13: do with a self centeredness of people who might actually
- 34:53Speaker 13: talk to him, that they're hoping to get something special
- 34:56Speaker 13: out of it for themselves.
- 34:59Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Gargie. I know you're the clinical and forensic neuropsychologist,
- 35:04Speaker 1: but I don't even know what you just said. How
- 35:06Speaker 1: can the defense stand up and say this is not
- 35:10Speaker 1: about the murder victim. Can we show, please, Brian Thompson
- 35:18Speaker 1: walking along and he's gunned down in cold blood, leaving
- 35:21Speaker 1: behind two sons and a wife. That's the victim. According
- 35:26Speaker 1: to prosecutors, it's Luigi Mangioni holding a three D weapon
- 35:31Speaker 1: that he made that it took dozens and dozens of
- 35:34Speaker 1: hours to make, so he can gun down a guy
- 35:37Speaker 1: walking to work in the back. You stated, I don't
- 35:43Speaker 1: know what that was, doctor Judy Hoo. I'm not saying
- 35:45Speaker 1: you're wrong. I'm just saying I'm just a trial lawyer
- 35:49Speaker 1: didn't understand it. But I think I know some of
- 35:51Speaker 1: the people that consider Luigi Mangioni to be the victim,
- 35:56Speaker 1: and here they are filing in to core. Okay, oh
- 36:02Speaker 1: what Luigi fights fascists. Okay, look at this line. Now,
- 36:09Speaker 1: wait till you see the cat walk parade of sad
- 36:15Speaker 1: sack women filing in to They won't even show their
- 36:19Speaker 1: face to get a glimpse of Luigi MANGIONI. Yes, keep
- 36:25Speaker 1: it going, keep it going, because I've got hours of people. Yeah,
- 36:34Speaker 1: that was totally walking the cat walk right there, clamoring
- 36:37Speaker 1: to get in to just bask in the glow of
- 36:41Speaker 1: Luigi MANGIONI. Oh, it keeps going. Yeah, on and on.
- 36:46Speaker 1: They had to turn women away, and it's not just women. Listen.
- 36:53Speaker 15: So this is who police believe was responsible for the
- 36:55Speaker 15: United Healthcare CEO Pepe. His seems Klubigi. All I can
- 37:00Speaker 15: say is, Mama, Miyah, does he need a Mario? I
- 37:04Speaker 15: believe it was a great philosopher and poet once said, Mama,
- 37:07Speaker 15: I'm in love with a criminal, and this type of
- 37:10Speaker 15: love isn't rational, it's physical. That was Britney Spears, and
- 37:15Speaker 15: I believe we're all feeling that right now. I believe
- 37:17Speaker 15: if you're going to do superhero like shit, you better
- 37:19Speaker 15: look like one. Okay, this man clearly did that. Did
- 37:22Speaker 15: he train at the Marvel Studios with all the other
- 37:24Speaker 15: Chris's okay, because Luigi, that's a spicy meat the ball.
- 37:29Speaker 5: I'm so sorry.
- 37:29Speaker 15: I believe if we're going to claim to be a
- 37:31Speaker 15: Christian nation, that we need to act like one. And
- 37:33Speaker 15: part of acting like that is practicing forgiveness. And after
- 37:38Speaker 15: a lot of seconds of thinking, I have decided I'm
- 37:41Speaker 15: gonna forgive him. I'm ready to forgive him, right, but
- 37:44Speaker 15: not forget, because mean, my god, how could you forget
- 37:47Speaker 15: an angel like this. I'm not gonna lie for a while.
- 37:49Speaker 15: I thought, oh my god, we're never going to find him,
- 37:51Speaker 15: you know. And I was wrong, because somewhere along the way,
- 37:54Speaker 15: the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the masks
- 37:57Speaker 15: and no masks, this man he found a way into
- 38:02Speaker 15: our hearts.
- 38:04Speaker 8: He did.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I hardly even know where to start with that. That
- 38:09Speaker 1: is from mister Williams spreck on TikTok. I'm in love
- 38:13Speaker 1: with a criminal, and I forgive him after a few
- 38:17Speaker 1: seconds of consideration, Doctor Gudy hoe it. I can't say
- 38:25Speaker 1: it gets worse, but there's more. Listen, you can't take
- 38:29Speaker 1: my mind and say there's blood on his head when
- 38:40Speaker 1: you're the one.
- 38:41Speaker 9: With the girl.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Who's taking lives for fun. You can't take my man.
- 38:53Speaker 1: That's from Scarlett park TikTok. So it's gone beyond calling
- 38:57Speaker 1: him a spicy meatball. These people actually consider Luigimi and
- 39:03Speaker 1: Gioni their man, and they are angry with the fans
- 39:07Speaker 1: for prosecuting. What have I gone down the rabbit hole?
- 39:12Speaker 1: Am I in some crazy bizarre alie in Wonderland? What
- 39:16Speaker 1: is happening, doctor gudi Hoe.
- 39:19Speaker 13: I know it seems completely unbelievable, Nancy, but this does happen.
- 39:23Speaker 13: People start to idolize these potential I mean, clearly this
- 39:29Speaker 13: is a defendant, right, but they're thinking in their minds,
- 39:32Speaker 13: this person is innocent. Maybe I'm going to be their
- 39:35Speaker 13: special person, and they're lusting after them the way that
- 39:38Speaker 13: they would lust after a celebrity, especially when they see
- 39:41Speaker 13: photos and videos that they can start cutting into their
- 39:44Speaker 13: own social media. They're developing a fictionalized relationship with him,
- 39:48Speaker 13: a fantasy and essentially completely erasing all of the facts
- 39:52Speaker 13: that have been evident in this case. And clearly the
- 39:55Speaker 13: defendant's attorneys are trying to paint that picture.
- 39:57Speaker 14: As well, leaning into it as hard as possible because
- 39:59Speaker 14: they're hoping to influence the public opinion even before a
- 40:02Speaker 14: jury is selected, so that they can hopefully get him
- 40:06Speaker 14: the outcome that he wants, which is apparently to.
- 40:10Speaker 13: Escape a death sentence, escape prison. Maybe I'm not sure
- 40:14Speaker 13: exactly what they think is possible, but that's what's so
- 40:16Speaker 13: scary about all the positivity that has developed around his
- 40:20Speaker 13: persona in terms of all of these illustrations, the website
- 40:23Speaker 13: they set up about and it's really concerning.
- 40:26Speaker 1: And you know, Cheryl McCollum is joining me. Cold Case
- 40:28Speaker 1: Investigative Research Institute, founder, author of a brand new book,
- 40:33Speaker 1: Swans Don't Swim in a Sewer, Solving the Cold Case
- 40:36Speaker 1: of the Flint River Killer's Daughter on Amazon. Cheryl, Okay,
- 40:43Speaker 1: do you remember the night that you and I were
- 40:46Speaker 1: out until two o'clock in the morning staking out a
- 40:49Speaker 1: location where we thought Luigi Mangioni was going to be apprehended.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Do you remember that night? Because I sure do I do.
- 40:57Speaker 1: How has this gotten so bass Ackwards, Chryl Ninthy.
- 41:02Speaker 11: It is mind boggling that anybody is trying to paint
- 41:07Speaker 11: this killer as the victim. I mean, the victim's life
- 41:12Speaker 11: was not just promising, it was in full swing. He
- 41:16Speaker 11: had a wife and children, and a career at the
- 41:20Speaker 11: highest level. He had friends and extended family. He had
- 41:26Speaker 11: everything going for him. Mangione had none of that, but
- 41:31Speaker 11: he took everything from those children. And I'm going to
- 41:36Speaker 11: tell you something, when you look at the people that
- 41:40Speaker 11: are contacting him, I hope and pray that those six
- 41:45Speaker 11: thousand letters that he's gotten, that one hundred and fifteen
- 41:48Speaker 11: a day, that there's some good intel in there too,
- 41:52Speaker 11: because he is writing people back, so he's communicating, and
- 41:57Speaker 11: I hope they're listing.
- 41:59Speaker 1: Every piece of somehow this has gotten topsy turvy upside down.
- 42:04Speaker 1: I haven't even gotten into the legal implications of what
- 42:07Speaker 1: is happening in court. I'm just so concerned that one
- 42:10Speaker 1: of these nut jobs is going to end up on
- 42:14Speaker 1: the ultimate jury and acquit Luigi Manngioni under the misconception
- 42:20Speaker 1: that he is somehow the victim. Again in court, his
- 42:25Speaker 1: lawyers and un quoting claimed that his beautiful, promising life
- 42:32Speaker 1: has been derailed by murder charges. It's all about me, me, me, me,
- 42:39Speaker 1: me me. This is a millionaire's son, multimillionaire who grew
- 42:45Speaker 1: up with silver spoon stuck in his mouth and has
- 42:47Speaker 1: been living in a Hawaii high rise on the beach,
- 42:52Speaker 1: doing nothing, and yet he's the victim. Can you imagine,
- 42:57Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, how hard to Robson had to work to
- 43:01Speaker 1: get to become the CEO at United Healthcare. It wasn't
- 43:06Speaker 1: handed to him on a silver platter on top of
- 43:08Speaker 1: a Christmas tree like it was MANGIONI. He had to
- 43:11Speaker 1: work and sacrifice long, long hours to get to where
- 43:16Speaker 1: he got to to be gunned down like a dog
- 43:19Speaker 1: on the sidewalk.
- 43:20Speaker 11: Cheryl Nancy, you cannot compare these two people. That's why
- 43:24Speaker 11: I agree with you. This whole thing is upside down.
- 43:28Speaker 11: Not only did the victim work and sacrifice, so did
- 43:32Speaker 11: his wife. You know what it takes. You know how
- 43:35Speaker 11: long David has gone during the day. It's not an
- 43:38Speaker 11: eight hour day, it's a sixteen seventeen hour game. He
- 43:43Speaker 11: was playing at the top of his game. There's no
- 43:45Speaker 11: doubt about it. Mangione was giving nothing to a family,
- 43:51Speaker 11: he was giving nothing to society. He was contributing zero.
- 43:56Speaker 11: And again, what he took cannot even be measured.
- 44:01Speaker 1: If I hear one more person talk about his back pain,
- 44:03Speaker 1: that's you, Cali Brantley. I think my head's gonna blow
- 44:07Speaker 1: off because I have videos of him tickling these girls
- 44:11Speaker 1: and picking them up just before the shooting. I can't
- 44:15Speaker 1: show it because it has the girl's faces in it,
- 44:19Speaker 1: but he was feeling no pain. But it's all about me, Me, me, me, me,
- 44:26Speaker 1: why me? And he's certainly not the first. Let me
- 44:30Speaker 1: refresh your recollection, as we say in court with bride
- 44:33Speaker 1: killer Jamie Lee Komarowski. Listen to her, right, I just
- 44:38Speaker 1: don't know why it had to happen to.
- 44:40Speaker 16: Me, because bad things happen to good people, honey, that's why.
- 44:46Speaker 17: It's just it's just something that happened to you.
- 44:51Speaker 18: And we are going to deal with the best week past.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Okay, Dave Mack joining me. Crimestwaris investigator, reporter. You know
- 44:58Speaker 1: who the bride killer is, right, Ja Lee Komarowski. She's guilty.
- 45:03Speaker 1: She got totally stinking drunk and plowed into a beautiful
- 45:10Speaker 1: bride leaving her wedding reception with the groom and killed her.
- 45:15Speaker 1: And there she is behind bars, going why is this
- 45:19Speaker 1: happening to me?
- 45:22Speaker 17: One look and listen to her father, Nancy. What does
- 45:25Speaker 17: he say, Well, bad things happen to good people. No,
- 45:30Speaker 17: they don't. You just killed somebody because of your own actions.
- 45:34Speaker 17: But see, we've got a whole group of people now
- 45:37Speaker 17: that never want to admit they did anything wrong. Everything
- 45:40Speaker 17: is on them. How can you possibly think man Joni
- 45:45Speaker 17: is sitting here saying his life is derailed, Well, he
- 45:47Speaker 17: destroyed another life and another family. Kambarowski sitting in jail,
- 45:51Speaker 17: Why is this happening to me?
- 45:53Speaker 18: Well?
- 45:53Speaker 14: Why not?
- 45:54Speaker 11: What do you expect?
- 45:54Speaker 17: What happened? Sick of this? Nancy is getting really tiresome.
- 45:58Speaker 1: And there is her victims, Mattha Miller in her wedding
- 46:02Speaker 1: dress just before she's mowed down dead by Jamie Lee Komrowski.
- 46:06Speaker 1: And here's I guess this would have to be the
- 46:09Speaker 1: Miss Universe of Wyme Jody Arius. Check her out. She
- 46:14Speaker 1: is more concerned about her makeup as she is approaching
- 46:19Speaker 1: trial in the brutal stabbing and shooting death of her fiance,
- 46:24Speaker 1: Travis Alexander, who was stabbed at least twenty nine times.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan and I have argued about that. I
- 46:31Speaker 1: say it was more than that. Check it out, Jody Arius,
- 46:35Speaker 1: you should have at least done your makeup before you
- 46:37Speaker 1: speak to police about murdering your fiance. When he broke
- 46:41Speaker 1: up and started seeing someone else. That earlier video from
- 46:45Speaker 1: forty eight hours Joe Scott, Morgan, Professor Forensics, do you
- 46:49Speaker 1: recall Travis Alexander's death? Hey, stay on that video because
- 46:54Speaker 1: as they're about to question her about what could have
- 46:56Speaker 1: happened to Travis Alexander, she starts singing and there you go,
- 47:00Speaker 1: does a headstand and bemoans the fact she doesn't have
- 47:04Speaker 1: on her lip gloss. Talk about me, me, me, Joe Scott,
- 47:07Speaker 1: what happened to Travis?
- 47:09Speaker 19: Yeah, he was brutally murdered, Nancy. She had him stripped down, nude,
- 47:15Speaker 19: taking a shower, taking dirty pictures, if you will, And
- 47:20Speaker 19: while his back is turned, she takes a knife and
- 47:22Speaker 19: plunges it into his back over and over and over again.
- 47:26Speaker 19: When he turns around to defend himself to try to
- 47:30Speaker 19: parry her stabs at him, he gets stabbed in the
- 47:34Speaker 19: chest as well. And if it wasn't enough, after he
- 47:38Speaker 19: spits up blood onto his stink, onto his sink, he
- 47:42Speaker 19: crawls tries to crawl away from her down the hallway.
- 47:46Speaker 19: She straddles him and cuts his throat from ear to
- 47:49Speaker 19: ear and the Koudi gras she shoots him after he
- 47:53Speaker 19: is dead. That's the kind of human that you're looking
- 47:57Speaker 19: at right here. She's absolutely discovered and it's.
- 48:01Speaker 1: All about me, me, me, Joscott Morgan, you've seen it all.
- 48:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to say, show you something you haven't
- 48:07Speaker 1: seen yet. Speaking of me, me, me, and criminal defendants
- 48:11Speaker 1: focusing only on themselves and not their victims. There is
- 48:14Speaker 1: the drunk, stinking drunk a d A Assistant district's attorney
- 48:19Speaker 1: Devin Flannag and listen to her. What the protocol is? Protocol?
- 48:27Speaker 18: As you turn off the body, can you have to
- 48:29Speaker 18: turn it off?
- 48:30Speaker 5: And that's your protocol, lawyer.
- 48:32Speaker 11: So she knows, well, that's lawyer stuff.
- 48:35Speaker 10: So that's not true.
- 48:35Speaker 1: So we got to go, no it is, that's that's
- 48:38Speaker 1: the law.
- 48:38Speaker 18: I'm an ag, i'm an aging.
- 48:40Speaker 10: Good for you.
- 48:42Speaker 19: Let's go.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Those two were kicked out of I think it was
- 48:45Speaker 1: a bar for being drunk and belligerent. Then you've got
- 48:49Speaker 1: oh gosh, she's been called the screaming band. She and
- 48:52Speaker 1: do you hear going, I'm an a da, I'm an
- 48:54Speaker 1: a da. Every sent it starts with I. I I
- 48:57Speaker 1: listen to this woman, Jocott. He needs to not judge me.
- 49:02Speaker 1: He he wants to call a salt. We're gonna go
- 49:05Speaker 1: through that row. No, he wants to go through assault.
- 49:10Speaker 5: No, we're not doing that.
- 49:11Speaker 11: Then no, he he claims I assaulted him.
- 49:15Speaker 5: No, we're not doing that.
- 49:17Speaker 1: We're not doing that. And then, of course maybe this
- 49:20Speaker 1: one beats Jody Arius. No, no, no, I'm gonna have
- 49:23Speaker 1: to go with Luigi Mangioni and his beautiful life de reild.
- 49:27Speaker 1: I'm sure you recall Shana Hubers that gave her ex
- 49:31Speaker 1: boyfriend the quote nose jop he always wanted with a handgun. Listen,
- 49:38Speaker 1: Ary Vain.
- 49:40Speaker 5: One of our last conversations we had that was good
- 49:42Speaker 5: was sitting wants my best friend of the dnist to
- 49:44Speaker 5: do with the near and wants to get a noob,
- 49:47Speaker 5: just that kind of person. And I'm right here. I
- 49:50Speaker 5: gave him his nose doob he wanted.
- 49:54Speaker 18: I want to marry me?
- 49:55Speaker 15: If they know that I kill one boyfriend and helped.
- 50:01Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not you know, Joe Scott Morgan, Professor
- 50:07Speaker 1: Forensics and death Investigator. Your forte is dead, bodies and
- 50:13Speaker 1: causes of death and modes of death. Let me go
- 50:17Speaker 1: to special guests joining us now, Doctor Angela Arnold, renowned psychiatrist,
- 50:23Speaker 1: joining us out of the Atlanta jurisdiction. Doctor Angie Arnold,
- 50:27Speaker 1: what is that. I don't know if you saw this
- 50:30Speaker 1: for yourself, but me Andngioni's defensive team is actually arguing
- 50:33Speaker 1: his life was derailed by the murder charges.
- 50:37Speaker 20: You know, Nancy, My thought is that's all they've got.
- 50:41Speaker 20: Who cares if his life was derailed. He is accused
- 50:46Speaker 20: of murdering someone. Maybe his life should be derailed. But
- 50:51Speaker 20: the way I feel about this is, Nancy, that's all they've.
- 50:54Speaker 6: Got to say.
- 50:55Speaker 20: That is the only thing they've got.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Let's talk about the facts and the law.
- 51:00Speaker 9: Listen taking orders as she tells the operator, I have
- 51:03Speaker 9: a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of that.
- 51:07Speaker 9: He looks like the CEO shooter in New York, and
- 51:10Speaker 9: they're generally upset and come to me, and I'm like,
- 51:13Speaker 9: I can't approach him. The manager continues working and can
- 51:16Speaker 9: be heard talking about bagels, at one point shouting one
- 51:19Speaker 9: of them is no better The nine one one operator
- 51:22Speaker 9: Emily States, testifies about the call and is heard to
- 51:25Speaker 9: ask for a description, with the manager applying, the only
- 51:28Speaker 9: thing you can see is the eyebrows.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Joining us is Sky Lazarro. She's a veteran criminal defense attorney.
- 51:35Speaker 1: She's practiced in both She's practiced in both state and
- 51:38Speaker 1: federal court. She is with Ray Quinny and Nebeker. Sky.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. If the defense is
- 51:45Speaker 1: arguing that Luigimi and Gioni was illegally arrested, the nine
- 51:52Speaker 1: to one one call occurred before the arrest, So what
- 51:57Speaker 1: could be the possible grounds for supper that call by
- 52:01Speaker 1: the McDonald's manager.
- 52:03Speaker 21: I think they're going to have a really hard time
- 52:05Speaker 21: keeping the nine one one call out.
- 52:06Speaker 5: I can understand it from a defense perspective.
- 52:09Speaker 21: You have to try, but when it comes to nine
- 52:12Speaker 21: one one calls, as long as you can lay the
- 52:13Speaker 21: foundation for it, it's probably coming in.
- 52:17Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing I know, sky Lazarro,
- 52:21Speaker 1: that they hate about this nine to one one call.
- 52:25Speaker 1: We had the same thing happen in the Idaho Slighings
- 52:30Speaker 1: of four Beautiful Idaho University Students, where Dylan Mortenson described
- 52:36Speaker 1: Brian Coberger's freaky, bushy eyebrows.
- 52:39Speaker 22: Listen, just remember seeing this figure that was like not fat, obviously,
- 52:44Speaker 22: but more of like the skinnier tongue build and some
- 52:47Speaker 22: mask on.
- 52:48Speaker 5: I don't know what the mask.
- 52:49Speaker 22: Exactly was, but when I thought about it, it was
- 52:51Speaker 22: just like covering here and here. I don't know if
- 52:53Speaker 22: it's covering his mouth his nose or below his mouth
- 52:55Speaker 22: and nose. I just remember knowing that he was white,
- 52:59Speaker 22: but I don't know how he was. I just knew
- 53:00Speaker 22: he was. And this knowing there's like I knew he
- 53:03Speaker 22: looked at me because of the bushy eye.
- 53:05Speaker 10: That's all I remember.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Joining me is Tom Smith, former NYPD detective thirty years now,
- 53:14Speaker 1: star of the gold Shields podcast, and he covered the
- 53:19Speaker 1: very same streets where Brian Thompson was gunned down in
- 53:22Speaker 1: cold Blood. You know, I have had a killer identified.
- 53:28Speaker 1: He was a chef, by the way, identified by a
- 53:31Speaker 1: particular limp that he had. I've had a bank robber
- 53:38Speaker 1: identified because he walked sleugh footed in other words, like
- 53:42Speaker 1: it up. They're all sorts of ways to identify someone.
- 53:47Speaker 1: It can be by voice that, it could be any
- 53:51Speaker 1: number of things. In this case, the McDonald's manager said
- 53:56Speaker 1: bushy eyebrows, and there's no doubt that's Luigimi. They hate it.
- 54:02Speaker 1: They hate that identification, Tom.
- 54:05Speaker 18: Yeah, they do, because you know it shows how important
- 54:08Speaker 18: Nancy and we did this when we first started talking
- 54:11Speaker 18: about this case, how important the videos and all the
- 54:15Speaker 18: photos were to get out to the public, even if
- 54:18Speaker 18: his face was covered, even if he was in a
- 54:20Speaker 18: cab or whatever it was, because those eyebrows jumped off
- 54:25Speaker 18: the page to everyone who looked at it. That was
- 54:28Speaker 18: the number one thing that everyone looked at as a
- 54:31Speaker 18: looking point and identification point when it came to him.
- 54:35Speaker 18: And it just showed that the quicker they got those
- 54:38Speaker 18: photos out, the better it was.
- 54:39Speaker 1: In the end of this, you know, I'm very curious
- 54:43Speaker 1: about this, the fact that he is identified at McDonald's
- 54:48Speaker 1: by his eyebrows, among other things. Let's say the pictures
- 54:52Speaker 1: of the McDonald's. There you go, there he is at McDonald's.
- 54:55Speaker 1: But Skyle is all right. Don't you think that the
- 54:58Speaker 1: defense should be more concerned learned about the fact that
- 55:01Speaker 1: he can be identified. At the time of the killing,
- 55:05Speaker 1: he showed his face repeatedly.
- 55:08Speaker 7: I agree with you.
- 55:09Speaker 21: He probably should have been a little bit more careful
- 55:11Speaker 21: at that time and that should be the stuff they're
- 55:13Speaker 21: seeking to exclude, and maybe they will, I think as
- 55:16Speaker 21: it goes to the nine to one one call the
- 55:18Speaker 21: defenses probably only argument is that these are witnesses who
- 55:23Speaker 21: identified him, not from the shooting. They weren't there that night,
- 55:27Speaker 21: so they can't say I saw him do the shooting.
- 55:30Speaker 21: They just want to exclude it because he's at the McDonald's.
- 55:33Speaker 21: The problem is they get to the McDonald's and it
- 55:36Speaker 21: turns out.
- 55:36Speaker 1: To be him speaking of getting to the McDonald's. The
- 55:40Speaker 1: defense is arguing that while he wasn't really under arrest,
- 55:45Speaker 1: he was kind of under arrest because so many police
- 55:49Speaker 1: started showing up and massing at the McDonald's. They were concerned,
- 55:53Speaker 1: if this is Luigi Mangioni, the healthcare assassin, he's probably armed.
- 55:57Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he was. He was armed.
- 56:00Speaker 1: There was a weapon in his backpack sitting right there
- 56:03Speaker 1: with him, so they were right now. What the defense
- 56:06Speaker 1: is arguing is that having multipolice, multiple police officers show
- 56:10Speaker 1: up is tantamount equal to arresting him. Why do we
- 56:14Speaker 1: care because police engage in a conversation with him to
- 56:19Speaker 1: identify him, and he spilled a lot of information in
- 56:23Speaker 1: that conversation. The state says it was before his arrest.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Why does it matter because a statement taken while you
- 56:32Speaker 1: are in custody without miranda will be suppressed. So they
- 56:39Speaker 1: want the judge to believe that because several police officers
- 56:42Speaker 1: showed up at McDonald's, that me and Gioni was effectively
- 56:46Speaker 1: under arrest in any statements he made pre miranda should
- 56:51Speaker 1: be suppressed. That's not going to happen. When I walk
- 56:55Speaker 1: into let's just pretend a Chipotle and all the Atlantic
- 56:59Speaker 1: PD are in the getting a salad, I don't feel
- 57:02Speaker 1: like I'm under arrest. Think about it.
- 57:05Speaker 9: Listen, Mangoni stares at monitors showing his arrest at McDonald's.
- 57:09Speaker 9: Mangoni sits to eat breakfast. At nine oh three. Eleven
- 57:13Speaker 9: minutes later, the nine one one call is made. Nine
- 57:15Speaker 9: twenty eight two police officers show up and begin talking
- 57:18Speaker 9: to Mangoni. The restaurant slowly begins to fill with police
- 57:22Speaker 9: until nine forty two, when at least eight officers are
- 57:25Speaker 9: visible on the recording. The defense claims packing the place
- 57:28Speaker 9: with police amounts to unlawful attention prior to Mangoni's arrest.
- 57:32Speaker 9: Agnifilo argues police surrounding Mangoni and the McDonald's this tantamount
- 57:36Speaker 9: to illegally detaining the alleged killer Agnifilo also takes exception
- 57:40Speaker 9: with the way officers treated Mangoni's backpack during the arrest,
- 57:43Speaker 9: claiming it was warrantlessly searched on the scene.
- 57:46Speaker 1: In other words, they looked in his backpack. Cheryl McCollum
- 57:50Speaker 1: joining me. She is not only a crime scene investigator
- 57:53Speaker 1: and founder of the Cold Case Research Institute, but she
- 57:57Speaker 1: is also the star of a hit podcast which I
- 57:59Speaker 1: actually put on a loop sometimes, Cheryl McCollum, Zone seven.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, has it ever dawned on you when you
- 58:07Speaker 1: go into McDonald's for a cup of coffee, that you're
- 58:10Speaker 1: arresting somebody, that you're a mere presence equals an arrest,
- 58:15Speaker 1: because that's what they're arguing and what they're trying to do, Cheryl,
- 58:18Speaker 1: is get out from under what Manngione said to police
- 58:22Speaker 1: pre miranda and them finding evidence in his backpack.
- 58:30Speaker 11: I think the body cam is going to be so
- 58:32Speaker 11: critical here because it's going to show all of his actions.
- 58:36Speaker 11: It's going to, you know, show the world that he
- 58:39Speaker 11: stood up and thought he was under arrest. Only a
- 58:42Speaker 11: guilty person would think that, Nancy. What the defense is
- 58:45Speaker 11: doing is there basically, look, you use manure to make
- 58:49Speaker 11: something grow, right, So they are planting and cultivating and
- 58:53Speaker 11: trying to grow this story that he's the victim, that
- 58:56Speaker 11: he didn't do anything, that he was under arrest and
- 58:59Speaker 11: now use anything, and it's just be it.
- 59:03Speaker 1: While this legal warfare is taking place in a courtroom,
- 59:07Speaker 1: Manzione's attorneys continue to insist that he's the victim.
- 59:13Speaker 23: He's a young man, and he is being treated like
- 59:16Speaker 23: a human pingpong ball between two warring jurisdictions here, and
- 59:20Speaker 23: they are literally treating him like he is like some
- 59:27Speaker 23: sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle.
- 59:30Speaker 1: He was on display for everyone.
- 59:31Speaker 23: To see in the biggest staged purp walk I've ever
- 59:34Speaker 23: seen in my career. There was no reason for the
- 59:37Speaker 23: NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles that frankly,
- 59:41Speaker 23: I had no idea it was in their arsenal, and
- 59:43Speaker 23: to have all of these these the press there, the
- 59:47Speaker 23: media there, It was like perfectly choreographed. And what was
- 59:50Speaker 23: the New York City mayor doing at this press conference?
- 59:53Speaker 14: He is a walking, talking contradiction.
- 59:55Speaker 11: He supposedly is again this wealthy ceo, yet he comes
- 1:00:00Speaker 11: for money.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: This is a guy living in a high rise in Honolulu,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: waking up to the beach every morning. Did she wake
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: up to a BH this morning?
- 1:00:08Speaker 22: That I certainly not.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: The Luigi Mangioni defense is fighting tooth and nail to
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: keep out what happened in that McDonald's, and as Cheryl
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: McCombs pointing out, that bodycam is going to be so
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: significant because it doesn't matter what the state says. It
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the defense says or how much Luigim
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Mangioni claims he's the victim. What matters is what really
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: happened inside that McDonald's. They're not going to get the
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: nine one one call suppressed, that's not happening. But what
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: happened in the McDonald's is the state going to lose
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: valuable evidence on allegal technicality? Why is it they want
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: that backpack suppressed? Straight out to investigator at large for
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: dailymail dot Com kill Leb Brantley. What was in the backpack? Nancy?
- 1:00:58Speaker 12: There was a three D p gun. It's a handgun
- 1:01:02Speaker 12: which is believed to could possibly be the murder weapon.
- 1:01:05Speaker 12: There was a notebook with handwritten notes in it. Then
- 1:01:08Speaker 12: he also had a knife on him, which was discovered
- 1:01:11Speaker 12: about twenty minutes later. So he was armed, and at
- 1:01:14Speaker 12: that point he was considered very dangerous.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, what did you say? Was written in
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Mangione's spiral notebook that was in his backpack.
- 1:01:23Speaker 12: That he wanted any use the word whack the healthcare
- 1:01:26Speaker 12: CEO whack meaning kill herd destroy.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: No wonder they want it suppressed to Dave mac crime
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Stori's investigative reporter, tell me about the three D gun
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: sometimes called a ghost gun.
- 1:01:42Speaker 17: But Nancy, you know we've been we have not been
- 1:01:45Speaker 17: given the very specifics of what type of gun. We
- 1:01:49Speaker 17: know it's a pistol, but we don't know the exact
- 1:01:51Speaker 17: name of it. Three D printed firearms take a massive
- 1:01:55Speaker 17: amount of time and filament far more than any other.
- 1:02:00Speaker 17: Is the most common, and it's the easiest one to
- 1:02:02Speaker 17: print and takes the shortest amount of time. The Liberator
- 1:02:05Speaker 17: takes thirty hours of constant printing with non stop printing.
- 1:02:10Speaker 17: Nancy thirty hours to print the easiest of all the pistols.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: Tom Smith, here's the thing with a ghost gun is
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: made on a three D printer. Tom, It's unserialized. That's
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: why they're so popular amongst criminals. You think Grandpa as
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: is long gun is shotgun under the bed. You think
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: it's a three D printed gun. No, it's got a
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: serial number. Why is it so serious that a ghost
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: gun is un serialized?
- 1:02:44Speaker 18: Well, because you can't trace it. No matter what you
- 1:02:47Speaker 18: do with that weapon, it cannot be traced back to you.
- 1:02:50Speaker 18: And that is why so many criminals and Luigi Maggioni
- 1:02:54Speaker 18: of course went to the lengths that he did to
- 1:02:57Speaker 18: make that gun, because that is the pre term and
- 1:03:00Speaker 18: premeditation of it. Already, he's already thinking ahead of that
- 1:03:05Speaker 18: gun not being traced to him, and that is part
- 1:03:07Speaker 18: of this as well.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Tom Smith, you're exactly correct. To Joseph Scott Morgan, let
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: me introduce him formally. He is a professor of forensics
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: at Jacksonville State University with an incredible criminal procedure program.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: He's the author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: He is a death investigator that has handled thousands of
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: death scenes, and he's a star of hit podcast Body.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Back to Joe Scott Morgan. Joe Scott, what is a
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: suppressor or commonly known as a silencer.
- 1:03:42Speaker 19: Yeah, stay away from the term silencer, because no weapon
- 1:03:46Speaker 19: is silenced, it is suppressed. That means that the crack
- 1:03:49Speaker 19: of the sound. You're talking about a perhaps supersonic round.
- 1:03:54Speaker 19: It's traveling, you know, past the speed of sounds. So
- 1:03:57Speaker 19: what you want to do is reduce that sound that's
- 1:04:00Speaker 19: put forth from the muzzle. If you take a close look,
- 1:04:03Speaker 19: I'm glad that you have that image. You take a
- 1:04:06Speaker 19: close look at that weapon there. The end of that
- 1:04:09Speaker 19: muzzle is actually threaded. What that means is is that
- 1:04:14Speaker 19: it's adaptable. It's adaptable to contain a suppressor. The suppressor
- 1:04:18Speaker 19: is displayed here. It's that long black cylindrical object there.
- 1:04:22Speaker 19: It can be screwed on on the end. Well, you
- 1:04:25Speaker 19: want to knock down the sound. So it's not going
- 1:04:27Speaker 19: to draw attention to you when you fired this thing.
- 1:04:31Speaker 19: Because let's just say that it is a non suppressed weapon.
- 1:04:34Speaker 19: This thing's going to echo through the canyons down there
- 1:04:37Speaker 19: in Manhattan, through all of those buildings. You'll still hear
- 1:04:39Speaker 19: a sound, but it'll be a slight crack. It's not
- 1:04:43Speaker 19: like it's portrayed in movies, okay, But it will reduce
- 1:04:46Speaker 19: the sound, it doesn't completely eliminate it. And the purpose
- 1:04:49Speaker 19: of this is so that you're not going to draw
- 1:04:51Speaker 19: attention to anyone. It does reduce, say, some of the
- 1:04:56Speaker 19: capabilities of the weapon as far as the effec activeness
- 1:05:00Speaker 19: of it at a greater range. But this is this
- 1:05:03Speaker 19: is not a close range. As a matter of fact,
- 1:05:05Speaker 19: if we were to look at the body here, it
- 1:05:08Speaker 19: would be classified as indeterminate because you're not going to
- 1:05:11Speaker 19: have any kind of uh sut deposition gun unperned gunpowder.
- 1:05:16Speaker 19: It will have fallen away by that time. But this
- 1:05:18Speaker 19: is not too distant of a shot. You'll still have
- 1:05:21Speaker 19: that same muzzle velocity striking into Brian Thompson's body. It's
- 1:05:25Speaker 19: effectively lethal.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Joining me now, the star of Zone seven podcast, Cheryl McCollum,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: is with us, Cheryl who has un serialized guns and silencers.
- 1:05:42Speaker 11: Criminals and methy There's another thing. Even though this is
- 1:05:46Speaker 11: a three D printed weapon, it's still going to lead
- 1:05:49Speaker 11: marking on capons and they're going to be able to be,
- 1:05:54Speaker 11: you know, determined that this weapon fired the bullet that
- 1:05:58Speaker 11: murdered Brian Thompson. So forensically, it's not going to get
- 1:06:02Speaker 11: you out of trouble. They may not can trace it
- 1:06:05Speaker 11: to a manufacturer, to a bar that they can absolutely
- 1:06:10Speaker 11: determine that that bullet was fired by that weapon.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, you're so right. And Tom Smith, this is
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: like a fish in water for you. Every day you
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: were getting off the streets of Manhattan guns to match
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: with bullets, bullets that were literally dug out of victims' bodies.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: And Cheryl said it right. A bullet hurls down the
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: barrel of a gun, that gun may look like all
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: the other guns in the gun store showcase, but it's
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: not because inside the barrel, the metal has cooled in
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: a certain way and it leaves ridges and imperfections on
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: the inside of the barrel, and as that bullet shoots
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: down the barrel, it is forever marked by those imperfections.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: So when you take the murder weapon to the crime
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: lab and you shoot a bullet through the murder weapon,
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: and you take the known bullet dug out of the
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: victim and you put it under a microscope next to
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: the one you just shot, it's like a fingerprint. No
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: other gun, be it a three D printed gun, a
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: Grandma's Bessie's out from under her her mattress, you can
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: track and identify like a fingerprint, that bullet came from
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: that gun. Isn't that true?
- 1:07:43Speaker 18: And that's the best way to say it. It's it's
- 1:07:45Speaker 18: the gun's fingerprint and the ballistic check of that in
- 1:07:48Speaker 18: the twist marks and all of that is what you
- 1:07:50Speaker 18: match up. And it is a fingerprint that is unmatchable,
- 1:07:55Speaker 18: you know, to anyone else. It is strictly to that
- 1:07:58Speaker 18: weapon that you will catch up the weapon, take the
- 1:08:02Speaker 18: round taken out of the victim, and match it up.
- 1:08:05Speaker 18: And that is damaging when it comes to court.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and Tom Smith, that is why they are
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: fighting to the death in court to keep that jury
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: from every knowing of a ballistics match that his three
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: D pretty gun is the murder weapon. Listened to Alvin Bragg,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: the Manhattan District Attorney.
- 1:08:28Speaker 16: For nearly an hour. We alleged the defendant waited in
- 1:08:31Speaker 16: the area near the Hilton Hotel waiting for mister Thompson
- 1:08:35Speaker 16: to appear. From six thirty eight am to six forty
- 1:08:39Speaker 16: four am. The defendant stood across from the entrance of
- 1:08:42Speaker 16: the hotel on West fifty fourth Street. When he saw
- 1:08:45Speaker 16: mister Thompson, he crossed the street and approached him from behind.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: Caleb Brantley, Daily Mail. The defense for Luigi Manngiani is
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: also trying to suppress statements he allegedly made to his guards.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: He had special guard yards behind bars, so nothing would
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: happen to him like it did to Epstein. So let's
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: first talk about Thomas Rivers, the former British infantryman who
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: was minding Mangioni. What did Mangioni allegedly say to Rivers? Nancy.
- 1:09:19Speaker 12: Luigi was held for ten days in Pennsylvania, and he
- 1:09:23Speaker 12: had spoken about being very disappointed that he was being
- 1:09:27Speaker 12: compared to the unibomber. He also said that mainstream media
- 1:09:32Speaker 12: was more focused on crime, and that when you looked
- 1:09:34Speaker 12: at social media, they were really more focused about the
- 1:09:38Speaker 12: healthcare industry, which, according to this officer, is what Luigi said.
- 1:09:42Speaker 12: This was really about Wow.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: Sounds like a confession to me. Sky, lazarro Oopsie.
- 1:09:47Speaker 21: Nancy, I agree and disagree.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Here's the problem.
- 1:09:50Speaker 21: They put these guys in a situation like that, in
- 1:09:53Speaker 21: solitary where they can't talk to anybody else. And the
- 1:09:56Speaker 21: other thing is that we know these officers didn't document
- 1:10:00Speaker 21: any of this. They're supposed to be taking notes seven
- 1:10:02Speaker 21: times an hour about what he's doing and his well being,
- 1:10:06Speaker 21: and they don't write down anything like he just made.
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: An a mission.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: Sky Lazarro, did you say it's a problem he's being
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: held in solitary. You know who else is in solitary,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Brian Thompson, Except his is a casket. So you're telling
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: me again, I can't believe you're buying into this sky Lazarro,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: that he's the one that's being tormented. You know what else?
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: He told Rivers that Rivers should really read Doors a
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: perception by all this Huxley, which is all about psychedelic
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: drug trips and mystical interpretations. Needless to say, Rivers did
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: not read the book. But there is another guard that
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: he talked to. This is the one I'm really interested in.
- 1:10:55Speaker 9: Listen, Officer Matt Henry wasn't chatty with the alleged killer.
- 1:10:59Speaker 9: That doesn't stop man from telling Henry he was caught
- 1:11:01Speaker 9: with a three D printed firearm, the weapon used to
- 1:11:04Speaker 9: murder CEO Brian Thompson. Attorney Mark Agnifilo challenges Henry, saying,
- 1:11:09Speaker 9: so he just blurted out to you that he had
- 1:11:11Speaker 9: a three D printed pistol. Henry drily replies, yes too.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Doctor Angela Arnold joining us. She's a renowned psychiatrist out
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Jurisdiction, at Angela Arnold dot com forim
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: Professor Psychiatry. It goes on and on. Former medical director
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: at the psychiatric Obgy Inklin at Grady, which never has
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: a lack of business. I found a lot of witnesses
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: and victims at Grady Hospital, Doctor Angela Arnold. Why is
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: this so hard? I bet a jury's not going to
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: have a hard time believing this that Luigi Mangioni, who
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: has had a lifetime of entitlement, would blab to his
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: guards why they're his new friends? They would never betray him?
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: Right yep?
- 1:11:57Speaker 5: Oh sure?
- 1:11:58Speaker 24: And you know, Nancy, he probably suffers from some sort
- 1:12:02Speaker 24: of personality disorder in which he thinks about himself an
- 1:12:07Speaker 24: awful lot. So he really doesn't He may not see
- 1:12:10Speaker 24: that he's done anything wrong, and he probably hasn't suffered
- 1:12:14Speaker 24: any consequences for any of his actions in the past,
- 1:12:18Speaker 24: and so that would make him more likely to almost
- 1:12:21Speaker 24: be bragging about what he's done and to let other
- 1:12:24Speaker 24: people know what he's done. This is typical for his
- 1:12:28Speaker 24: behavior in all likelihood throughout his existence.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Tom Smith joining me, former NYPD detective thirty years now,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: star co host of gold Shields podcast, Tom What is Wrong?
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: With rich people. Do they think they can just get
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: away with everything, anything and everything they can confess they
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: can stay. Yeah, they caught me with a three D
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: print and gun, which is the murder Weapon's wrong with them?
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Have you noticed the same sense of entitlement sometimes does
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: them in because they think they can buy off everybody,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: that everybody wants to be their friend, but these two
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: guards do not want to be his friend.
- 1:13:15Speaker 18: Yeah, they've lived their whole life like this, Nancy. You know,
- 1:13:18Speaker 18: they've gotten what they wanted. They'd either pay for it
- 1:13:21Speaker 18: or the power that they have has influenced someone's decision
- 1:13:25Speaker 18: into what they're getting or what they're doing. And they
- 1:13:28Speaker 18: just think that holds true for every aspect of their life,
- 1:13:32Speaker 18: including killing someone. I mean, that's how deranged they are
- 1:13:35Speaker 18: when it comes to the entitlement that they believe they
- 1:13:38Speaker 18: are are owed when it comes to murder or you know,
- 1:13:43Speaker 18: killing a bride. We did that show. You know, it's
- 1:13:46Speaker 18: just constant and it just keeps coming up and it's
- 1:13:49Speaker 18: absolutely disgusting.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: Tom. I want you to look at a picture if
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: I can get the controller and to put it up
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: for me, dig through those files. I want to see
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: the picture allegedly Mangiani, who's presumed innocent, holding up the
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: three D with the silencer on it, pointing directly at
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: Brian Thompson's back. According to police, he waited an hour
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: for just the right moment. There's his backpack, which was
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: recovered at the McDonald's. There's his outfit which he had
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: with him. There's the three D weapon, and let's look
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: at Brian Thompson walking along early morning going to a
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: work conference. He shot in the back right there. And
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: I'm not going to play that when he actually gets shot,
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: because someday, somehow his boys might look this up online
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: and I don't want this to be stuck in their memory.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Calli Brantley. Were any of me g Only's family members
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: in court and were any of the victims' family members
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: in court this week?
- 1:15:06Speaker 12: Not that we know of Nancy, but a lot of
- 1:15:09Speaker 12: Luigi's supporters And one thing, have you heard of pretty privilege?
- 1:15:14Speaker 12: Because it absolutely feels like Luigi is benefiting from that
- 1:15:17Speaker 12: by having hordes of fans, because he is a handsome man,
- 1:15:22Speaker 12: that he is benefiting from pretty privilege? And I'm sure
- 1:15:25Speaker 12: his defense team is happy that they have a relatively
- 1:15:29Speaker 12: attractive man as a client.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Kila, I don't find him attractive. Every time I look
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: at him, I see a tail swishing in the back
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: and two horns right here. That's what I see. What
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: is happening in court this week is critical. If this
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: evidence is suppressed, there may be no justice in this case.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: A man shut down on the sidewalk on video and
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: no justice. We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Christ signing off,
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: goodbye friend.
- 1:16:10Speaker 14: M hmm
