- 0:09Speaker 1: health boss gunned down in a targeted attack at this hour,
- 0:14Speaker 1: our marriage secrets revealed. I'm Nancy Grace. This is crime Stories.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Masked gunman shoots dead the United Healthcare CEO in Midtown
- 0:27Speaker 2: Manhattan and urgent search ensues for the suspect. Last scene
- 0:33Speaker 2: entering Central.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Park, marriage secrets being revealed as this health boss worth
- 0:40Speaker 1: millions of dollars is gunned down and open around the public.
- 0:46Speaker 1: What do we make of clues left behind? Cryptic and
- 0:50Speaker 1: odd clues? For instance, bullets found actually have been inscribed
- 0:56Speaker 1: with letters on them. A cell phone had been left behind.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Is there DNA on a water bottle? Was this a pro?
- 1:06Speaker 1: A silencer was used? And in the middle of the
- 1:10Speaker 1: assassination the gun jams and seemingly the pro shooter simply
- 1:17Speaker 1: adjusted and continued firing. Everyone. Thank you for being with us.
- 1:24Speaker 1: If this can happen in public, what are we to
- 1:27Speaker 1: think of it? Well, take a listen to it, the
- 1:30Speaker 1: chief of detectives has to say.
- 1:31Speaker 3: This morning, at six forty six am, patrol offices from
- 1:34Speaker 3: Midtown North Preestint responded to a nine to one one
- 1:36Speaker 3: call of a person shot in front of the Hilton
- 1:38Speaker 3: Hotel located at thirteen thirty five Avenue of the Americas.
- 1:42Speaker 3: This is between West fifty third Street and West fifty
- 1:45Speaker 3: fourth Street. At six forty eight am. Officers arrive and
- 1:48Speaker 3: find the victim, Brian R. Thompson, a fifty year old male,
- 1:51Speaker 3: on the sidewalk in front of the Hilton, with gunshot
- 1:54Speaker 3: wounds to his back and leg.
- 1:56Speaker 1: You know, the way the sheoter handled the weapon, the
- 1:58Speaker 1: use of a silence, the mask, the lying in wait
- 2:02Speaker 1: all indicates a professional hit. But a pro wouldn't want
- 2:07Speaker 1: to be caught. A pro would do everything not to
- 2:11Speaker 1: get caught. So then why we're there, especially engraved bullets
- 2:17Speaker 1: with cryptic messages on them. Mm mmm, it sounds like
- 2:22Speaker 1: a fifth grade girl riding a crime thriller. Something's way
- 2:27Speaker 1: off with this. Joining me and all star panel to
- 2:30Speaker 1: make sense of what we know right now, but for
- 2:32Speaker 1: as straight out to investigative reporter Lauren Colin joining us
- 2:36Speaker 1: co host Primetime Crime on YouTube and you can find
- 2:39Speaker 1: her at Popcrime dot tv, who has gone to the
- 2:42Speaker 1: scene and investigated. Lauren, what can you tell us?
- 2:44Speaker 4: Yes, Nancy on the street the entire street of West
- 2:47Speaker 4: fifty third Street was blocked off.
- 2:49Speaker 5: There was a plane, clothes.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Detectives as well as uniformed officers basically not saying anything.
- 2:58Speaker 4: I asked questions, asked witnesses if they heard anything, and
- 3:02Speaker 4: the parking lot attendants were actually there earlier that morning,
- 3:06Speaker 4: but they said, you know, due to the silencer, they
- 3:09Speaker 4: didn't hear anything.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Tell me your understanding, what you learned of what happened,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Starting at the beginning.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Starting at the beginning, I learned that Brian Thompson arrived
- 3:18Speaker 4: in New York Monday. Now he was not staying at
- 3:22Speaker 4: the Hilton. He was staying at a hotel across the street.
- 3:25Speaker 4: He was set to speak at eight am at their
- 3:28Speaker 4: annual investors conference, and he was arriving early at six
- 3:34Speaker 4: forty five. So as he walked into the entrance of
- 3:39Speaker 4: the Hilton, it was revealed by NYPD that this gunman
- 3:44Speaker 4: was allegedly lying in wait before he shot him.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Take a listen to Chief Detective Joe Kenny.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Mister Thompson was removed by ems or Roosevelt Hospital, where
- 3:54Speaker 3: he was pronounced dead at seven twelve am. Mister Thompson
- 3:57Speaker 3: is the CEO of United Healthcare and in Minnesota. Detectives
- 4:02Speaker 3: from night Watch, Midtown North Detective Squad, and Manhattan South
- 4:05Speaker 3: Homicard responded to the scene and began their investigation.
- 4:07Speaker 1: We're learning a lot. I want to go straight out
- 4:09Speaker 1: to Bill Daily joining us from New York, former FBI
- 4:13Speaker 1: investigator forensic photography international security expert. Bill, thank you for
- 4:19Speaker 1: being with us. You see the video steals we're showing.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I don't know that a pro would have done this
- 4:26Speaker 1: right in front of a surveillance video.
- 4:29Speaker 6: Well, exactly right, Nancy.
- 4:30Speaker 7: Is that you know people throw on this thing about
- 4:32Speaker 7: you know, professional hitman. I mean those are those are
- 4:34Speaker 7: out of the movies. I mean this could be somebody
- 4:36Speaker 7: who trained who thought it out. Well, obviously he's done
- 4:39Speaker 7: a lot of reconnaissance and research, but we're talking about
- 4:42Speaker 7: professional hit people. That's something made in the movies. I
- 4:45Speaker 7: would say, Nancy, a couple of things. I'm quite familiar
- 4:47Speaker 7: with this area of being a New Yorker and having
- 4:49Speaker 7: worked on the streets of New York for quite a
- 4:51Speaker 7: number of years. Is that this is actually the side entrance.
- 4:55Speaker 7: Missus Thompson was apparently staying around the corner. We believe
- 4:58Speaker 7: that the Marriott Hotel, which actually gave him a couple
- 5:01Speaker 7: of avenues of approach to the hotel. This is the
- 5:04Speaker 7: side interest the Maniager's on sixth Avenue. So for this
- 5:07Speaker 7: gunman to know that he was going to be coming
- 5:09Speaker 7: down the side street at this time suggested to me
- 5:13Speaker 7: there was some other reconnaissance inside information that he knew
- 5:15Speaker 7: that he was at another hotel. He wasn't saying at
- 5:17Speaker 7: the Hilton that he could be coming down this street.
- 5:20Speaker 7: Tompson could have easy walked around seventh Avenue, come down
- 5:22Speaker 7: fifty fifth Street or another street to wear have a
- 5:24Speaker 7: couple of coffee.
- 5:25Speaker 6: But he didn't. And so there are a couple of.
- 5:27Speaker 7: Things out here that kind of jump out to me
- 5:29Speaker 7: that are really concerning with your guard to how much
- 5:31Speaker 7: information was known about the specific movements of mister Thompson
- 5:35Speaker 7: that morning.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Bill Daly, I know exactly what you mean about that location.
- 5:39Speaker 1: But wouldn't it have been easy for the perp, the
- 5:42Speaker 1: killer to be waiting in the lobby waiting for the victim,
- 5:47Speaker 1: Brian Thompson to walk out. He didn't have to be
- 5:50Speaker 1: lying in wait at that side entrance. He could have
- 5:54Speaker 1: simply followed him. He did come up behind him.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there are a couple of things here
- 5:58Speaker 7: in Nancy that is true. And in fact, if he
- 6:00Speaker 7: knew if he was going to be speaking of the conference,
- 6:02Speaker 7: he didn't have to be waiting outside. He could have
- 6:03Speaker 7: done it just in the lobby upstairs, in an elevator,
- 6:06Speaker 7: or some other other place where he knew there was
- 6:08Speaker 7: kind of a kind of cool chow point where he
- 6:10Speaker 7: would have had to travel through in order to get
- 6:12Speaker 7: to the conference. The other thing is that which kind
- 6:14Speaker 7: of points to perhaps something more someone from the area
- 6:18Speaker 7: or from the region, is the fact that mister Simpson
- 6:20Speaker 7: lives out in Minnesota. The day to day he comes
- 6:22Speaker 7: to and from work, he comes to and from his home,
- 6:24Speaker 7: he goes perhaps to see maybe his children's sporting.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Events, who knows what.
- 6:28Speaker 7: But those are kind of open areas other areas where
- 6:31Speaker 7: he could have been a target. But yet this was
- 6:33Speaker 7: done in New York City, where he doesn't live, where
- 6:35Speaker 7: he was visiting, where this person would have only had
- 6:37Speaker 7: a couple of days opportunity for any kind of reconnaissance
- 6:40Speaker 7: and kind of staging this event. And so it kind
- 6:43Speaker 7: of leads me to suggest that this person chose New
- 6:45Speaker 7: York either because it's more difficult. You can get lost
- 6:48Speaker 7: in the city. You can do things like this. It
- 6:49Speaker 7: could disappear into Central Park and perhaps try to hide
- 6:52Speaker 7: your trails, you know. Or it was a matter of
- 6:54Speaker 7: convenience that the person was in and around the area
- 6:57Speaker 7: and didn't have to travel to Minnesota.
- 6:58Speaker 1: You're right. The victim in town to speak at an
- 7:02Speaker 1: investor conference.
- 7:03Speaker 8: Listen, the victim was in New York City to speak
- 7:04Speaker 8: at an investor conference. It appears a suspect was lying
- 7:08Speaker 8: in wait for several minutes, and as the victim was
- 7:11Speaker 8: walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind
- 7:15Speaker 8: and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once
- 7:19Speaker 8: in the back and at least once in the right calf.
- 7:23Speaker 8: Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait
- 7:27Speaker 8: for his intended target.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Well, it's clearly targeted, Bill Daily. There is no robbery,
- 7:33Speaker 1: there is no carjacking, there is no sex attack, So
- 7:38Speaker 1: it's targeted. Can we look at the photo of the
- 7:43Speaker 1: suspect's face. Now we keep hearing we don't know much
- 7:48Speaker 1: about him, but I can tell you right now he's white.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Number one. He knows enough to cover his face but
- 7:55Speaker 1: I say that he is not wearing gloves. To Lauren Conlin,
- 8:01Speaker 1: what can you tell me about a discarded water bottle?
- 8:03Speaker 4: The discarded water bottle, Nancy, was found in the Alleyway,
- 8:07Speaker 4: which is between fifty third and fifty fourth Street.
- 8:10Speaker 5: It's the big Field Ballroom Alleyway.
- 8:13Speaker 1: A pro would not leave behind a water bottle. A
- 8:17Speaker 1: pro wouldn't even be drinking anything right before you've murdered somebody.
- 8:22Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 8:22Speaker 7: You're right, Nancy, And go to my suggestion, this person
- 8:25Speaker 7: orchestrated this, pre planned it.
- 8:28Speaker 6: I thought it out. You speak about perhaps the weapon
- 8:30Speaker 6: a little bit later on, all.
- 8:31Speaker 7: These things tying to somebody who is knowledgeable about only
- 8:34Speaker 7: what they were doing, but certainly not a professional.
- 8:37Speaker 6: That's somebody we might see kind of portrayed in the movies.
- 8:39Speaker 7: These people would be much more sub roser about their efforts,
- 8:43Speaker 7: would kind of not be seen beforehand. And I'm going
- 8:46Speaker 7: to suggest to you is that besides this video and
- 8:48Speaker 7: these images we have now, as that police are looking
- 8:51Speaker 7: to kind of put together both the timeline and his trail,
- 8:53Speaker 7: there'll be some more coming out and we'll have we'll
- 8:56Speaker 7: have some more facial images.
- 8:57Speaker 6: Perhaps the DNA may help.
- 9:00Speaker 7: As we all know working these cases is you need
- 9:02Speaker 7: to have something to compare it to. You need to
- 9:04Speaker 7: have some databasing compared to or using ancestral DNA, perhaps
- 9:08Speaker 7: tie this person back to someone.
- 9:10Speaker 6: Else and work through that angle.
- 9:13Speaker 7: So even though we have all these things, and it
- 9:15Speaker 7: could be who knows, maybe fragmented fingerprints on the bullet
- 9:19Speaker 7: casings or other evidence left behind, but again you need
- 9:22Speaker 7: something to compare it to.
- 9:24Speaker 3: What we know is that the shooter arrived at the
- 9:25Speaker 3: location on foot about five minutes prior to the victim's arrival.
- 9:29Speaker 3: He stands alongside the building line as numerous other people
- 9:32Speaker 3: and pedestrians pass him by. From video, we see at
- 9:35Speaker 3: six forty four am, the victim is walking alone towards
- 9:39Speaker 3: the Hilton after exiting his hotel across the street. We
- 9:42Speaker 3: believe the victim was headed to the Hilton hotel to
- 9:45Speaker 3: attend the United Health Group investors conference that was scheduled
- 9:47Speaker 3: to start at eight am.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Let me look at that stance one more time where
- 9:51Speaker 1: the shooter is pointing, pointing the gun at the victim.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You know, everybody on the path, I don't jump in,
- 10:01Speaker 1: but Bill Danley, look at that. It looks like someone
- 10:04Speaker 1: has been watching too many movies and they think that's
- 10:08Speaker 1: a professional killer stance. You see that right there. I'm
- 10:13Speaker 1: just telling you. Look, he doesn't have on gloves. He's
- 10:16Speaker 1: been hanging out, drinking from a water bottle that he
- 10:19Speaker 1: leaves behind. I also understand a cell phone has been
- 10:24Speaker 1: left behind. And then he gets on a city bike.
- 10:28Speaker 1: It reminds me of a bank robbery I prosecuted where
- 10:32Speaker 1: the purp had a bike waiting around the corner. He
- 10:35Speaker 1: was anything but a pro and he pedaled off just
- 10:40Speaker 1: like this guy is doing. What do you make of that?
- 10:43Speaker 6: Bill?
- 10:43Speaker 7: You know, all these things going to add up to
- 10:45Speaker 7: the fact that this person again gave some thought.
- 10:48Speaker 6: But yet it's about quote professional.
- 10:50Speaker 7: I mean, we really don't have these kind of quote
- 10:52Speaker 7: professional hitment throughout the country.
- 10:53Speaker 6: Maybe the mafia does.
- 10:54Speaker 7: But we're not talking about people knocking off executive So
- 10:58Speaker 7: this doesn't happen in the United States. Perhaps over and
- 11:00Speaker 7: have a concern when people travel the high risk locations,
- 11:02Speaker 7: but certainly not in New York City. But I'll probably
- 11:05Speaker 7: tell you is that both that stance is kind of
- 11:08Speaker 7: a suggestion that the person thoth they knew what they
- 11:11Speaker 7: were doing, but also the fact that this gun jam.
- 11:13Speaker 7: The jam several times apparently rights at each shot. According
- 11:17Speaker 7: to police, they believe that it jammed maybe because there
- 11:20Speaker 7: was a silencer on the front, a silence or that
- 11:22Speaker 7: perhaps caused the jam to occur. But he did clear
- 11:25Speaker 7: it very quickly and efficiently. So he's somebody who did
- 11:28Speaker 7: do some practice training with that weapon beforehand.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Well, well, Lauren Colin, the gun jammed more than once.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Apparently it jammed between shots, but you know that didn't
- 11:39Speaker 4: stop him, so he kept shooting after he saw.
- 11:42Speaker 1: The answer is yes, Okay, that's telling me a lot
- 11:44Speaker 1: right there, Daily Daily, Daily, A pro is going to
- 11:48Speaker 1: take a gun that jams between every shot? Really?
- 11:51Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I'm going.
- 11:53Speaker 7: To some of the forensic guess versus that by using
- 11:56Speaker 7: that silence, and again, silencers are nothings that you are
- 11:58Speaker 7: supposed to legally have.
- 12:00Speaker 6: If it was homemade, it could have caused more of
- 12:02Speaker 6: this kind of.
- 12:02Speaker 7: Malfunction of the weapon. But again it did seem as
- 12:06Speaker 7: though calmly he cleared that weapon.
- 12:08Speaker 6: He was able to pull a slide on the top.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Daily did you say homemade? Look, this is whoo, this
- 12:17Speaker 1: is melan, This is not pro. I don't even know
- 12:20Speaker 1: where that came from? A homemade silence, homemade slen but
- 12:30Speaker 1: come on, man, a homemade silencer that doesn't work, A
- 12:34Speaker 1: pretend professional killer stance, drinking a water bottle and leaving
- 12:38Speaker 1: it behind and hopping on a bike without gloves and
- 12:41Speaker 1: taking off no, no, uh uh, I gotta figure this
- 12:47Speaker 1: thing out, guys. Why was a health ceo worth millions
- 12:53Speaker 1: of dollars gunned down in public? Early early morning? Many
- 13:00Speaker 1: people saying it's a pro chiller.
- 13:03Speaker 3: The shooter then flees on foot northbound into an alleyway
- 13:06Speaker 3: between fifty fourth Street and fifty fifth Street. Once at
- 13:09Speaker 3: West fifty fifth Street, the shooter continues to walk westbound
- 13:11Speaker 3: on the Avenue in Americas, where he gets onto an
- 13:14Speaker 3: electric e city bike and rides northbound on the Avenue
- 13:17Speaker 3: Americas towards Central Park. At six forty eight am, we
- 13:21Speaker 3: have the shooter riding this bike into Central Park at
- 13:24Speaker 3: Center Drive. We're still tracking video. The last we see
- 13:27Speaker 3: with him on that bike is in Central Park. At
- 13:29Speaker 3: the scene, we recover three live nine millimeters rounds and
- 13:33Speaker 3: three discharged nine millimeters shell casings. The motor for this
- 13:37Speaker 3: murder currently is unknown, but based on the evidence we
- 13:40Speaker 3: have so far, it does appear that the victim was
- 13:42Speaker 3: specifically targeted, but at this point we do not know
- 13:45Speaker 3: why this does not appear to be a random act
- 13:48Speaker 3: of violence.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Okay, I know that, I know it's not random. Joining me,
- 13:51Speaker 1: high profile lawyer BERNARDA. Vielona, New York criminal defense attorney,
- 13:55Speaker 1: this is her bait. She is also a former prosecutor.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. What do you make
- 14:02Speaker 1: of it so far? Because not only did the pro
- 14:05Speaker 1: assassin lead behind three discharged nine millimere shellcasings, they were
- 14:12Speaker 1: engraved with three cryptic words. I mean, it's straight out
- 14:18Speaker 1: of a crime novel. And another thing, BERNARDA. Anybody that
- 14:23Speaker 1: knows how to type goog l E could find out
- 14:27Speaker 1: this guy was speaking where and at what time? Yeah,
- 14:30Speaker 1: but I.
- 14:31Speaker 9: Still think there's an inside job because in a sense
- 14:33Speaker 9: of they could have known where he was speaking, but
- 14:35Speaker 9: they wouldn't have known exactly what time he would have
- 14:37Speaker 9: been leaving out of his hotel. Because remember this shooter
- 14:40Speaker 9: had only been waiting about five minutes, so he had
- 14:43Speaker 9: to have had some kind of inside information to know
- 14:46Speaker 9: the exact time that Brian Thompson would have been leaving
- 14:49Speaker 9: his hotel. Look all of this looks very shady. I
- 14:52Speaker 9: don't think it's a professional kill at all, because number one,
- 14:55Speaker 9: believing of the showcases and the bullets there, and then
- 14:59Speaker 9: jumping on a bike. I think there's a lot more
- 15:01Speaker 9: to this. I don't see that there's going to be
- 15:03Speaker 9: an arrest anytime soon.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Though, hold on just the moment on that Daily Bill
- 15:10Speaker 1: Daily with me former FBI investigator and joining us from
- 15:14Speaker 1: New York, intimately familiar with the ins and outs the
- 15:17Speaker 1: alleyways where this happened. The guy then goes to Central Park.
- 15:22Speaker 1: That was a pretty good move, and it's not that
- 15:25Speaker 1: far from where the shooting was by bike. But he
- 15:29Speaker 1: goes into Central Park, which is blanketed with surveillance videos.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I mean, and we can follow his drill. He had
- 15:38Speaker 1: to ditch the bike somewhere. I think that we're going
- 15:41Speaker 1: to find out where he leaves the bike. And again
- 15:43Speaker 1: no gloves. As you said earlier, of course you got
- 15:46Speaker 1: to have something to compare it to. If he's not
- 15:48Speaker 1: in the DNA or the APHIST database, we don't have
- 15:52Speaker 1: anything to match it too. But that said, can we
- 15:58Speaker 1: just agree this is not a pro?
- 16:00Speaker 6: I usually agree it's not a pro.
- 16:01Speaker 7: I also think that there's other probably kind of breadcrumbs
- 16:04Speaker 7: left behind, is that you know if this was connected
- 16:08Speaker 7: with either the business because of see that either of
- 16:11Speaker 7: the had been a customer who was surely totally upset
- 16:15Speaker 7: and obsessed with this individual, or perhaps a former employee.
- 16:19Speaker 7: That could have been a number of things. But I
- 16:21Speaker 7: think there you have to go back and start looking
- 16:23Speaker 7: at where they're threats against the company.
- 16:24Speaker 6: Apparently, according to the victim's.
- 16:26Speaker 7: Wife there were, and if there were, who was making
- 16:29Speaker 7: those and what was the steps that let you start up.
- 16:32Speaker 1: With what you're just saying, Bill Daily Lauren Conlin. Now,
- 16:37Speaker 1: according to one person there have been threats on the
- 16:41Speaker 1: victim's line, and that is his wife. Were those threats
- 16:46Speaker 1: ever reported to l A law enforcement?
- 16:49Speaker 5: Nancy? Those threats were never reported to law enforcement?
- 16:52Speaker 1: With me? Also is Scott Iiker founding member. I can't
- 16:56Speaker 1: say this enough of the FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey team.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Can I just say? He didn't just fall off the
- 17:04Speaker 1: turnip truck? People, I ker if I was going to
- 17:08Speaker 1: pick him off, I would go somewhere with a silencer
- 17:12Speaker 1: and wait out in the middle of nowhere right let
- 17:15Speaker 1: his body lay there for three or four hours. Before
- 17:17Speaker 1: anybody figures anything out. So why intentionally find him in
- 17:23Speaker 1: New York City.
- 17:24Speaker 10: I agree, there's a lot of other places that you
- 17:26Speaker 10: could have done this murder, but there's a lot of
- 17:29Speaker 10: benefits of doing it in a crowded city also. I mean,
- 17:32Speaker 10: if you think about it, you might be able to
- 17:33Speaker 10: mix in with the regular people walking to and from work,
- 17:37Speaker 10: cars and everything like that. He didn't think about all
- 17:40Speaker 10: the cameras in the area. He didn't think about all
- 17:42Speaker 10: the people that might see at different things. And obviously
- 17:46Speaker 10: I agree with the other gentleman that says I don't
- 17:49Speaker 10: think this guy is a professional. I do think he
- 17:51Speaker 10: has some training. I mean, I was on the FBI
- 17:53Speaker 10: swap team. I shot twice a week, and I can
- 17:58Speaker 10: see that type of stance that he had some training
- 18:01Speaker 10: for him to do that malfunction, the clear the gun,
- 18:05Speaker 10: shoot again, clear it clear it. That takes training in time.
- 18:09Speaker 10: So I think, at least in my mind, he's made
- 18:12Speaker 10: a lot of mistakes. But I don't think he's a professional.
- 18:15Speaker 10: I totally agree with that, but he has had some
- 18:17Speaker 10: train and.
- 18:18Speaker 1: We are learning more from Chief of Detectives Joe.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Kenney, from speaking to other employees that traveled with him
- 18:24Speaker 3: to New York. Doesn't seem that he had these security detail.
- 18:27Speaker 3: He left the hotel by himself, was walking, didn't seem
- 18:30Speaker 3: like he had any issues at all. So I don't
- 18:33Speaker 3: think he did not have a security detail.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Lauren Conlin correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't there
- 18:38Speaker 1: just a firefighter's pension fund that sued the victim because
- 18:45Speaker 1: he dumped about thirty one percent of his stock made
- 18:49Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars just before everything went south, right, and
- 18:54Speaker 1: there's a complaint about that. Yeah, that's happening. The wife says,
- 18:59Speaker 1: there's death threats. He's worth millions of dollars and he
- 19:04Speaker 1: doesn't have security detail.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Yes, his net worth is forty three million dollars.
- 19:08Speaker 5: Nancy.
- 19:09Speaker 4: And not only that, I found a plethora of lawsuits.
- 19:13Speaker 4: He was accused of creating an algorithm to deny patients' coverage.
- 19:18Speaker 4: So I found quite a few lawsuits there. And then
- 19:21Speaker 4: additionally there was a data breach a few I believe
- 19:25Speaker 4: it was February of twenty twenty four, where many many
- 19:29Speaker 4: people were at risk and not happy.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace in addition to a water
- 19:44Speaker 1: bottle and a candy wrapper, really he's got to have
- 19:49Speaker 1: a starburst just before a murder. In addition to those
- 19:54Speaker 1: clues and possibly a cell phone linked to the suspect.
- 20:00Speaker 1: To this, it's just like a fifth grade girl writes
- 20:04Speaker 1: an action thriller or tries to listen.
- 20:06Speaker 11: Please have released a new chilling detail in the assassination
- 20:09Speaker 11: style shooting. Three live rounds and three shellcasings recovered from
- 20:13Speaker 11: the crime scene, and cops are now saying there are
- 20:15Speaker 11: inscriptions on the shellcasings. The words deny, defend, and depose
- 20:21Speaker 11: were engraved on the bullets.
- 20:22Speaker 1: So the words deny, defend, and depose were engraved on
- 20:28Speaker 1: the bullets. By who? The local jeweler joining me right
- 20:32Speaker 1: now is a ballistics expert. Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics,
- 20:37Speaker 1: Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon,
- 20:42Speaker 1: and star of hit series Body Bags. That Joe Scott
- 20:44Speaker 1: Morgan Joe Scott really, okay, I can't hammer this enough
- 20:50Speaker 1: a pro What did they write it in? Fancy cursive deny, defend, depose? Seriously,
- 20:57Speaker 1: that sounds like the ransom note left behind in John Benay.
- 21:01Speaker 1: A small foreign faction once one hundred and eighteen thousand
- 21:04Speaker 1: dollars would stop.
- 21:05Speaker 12: What's really fascinating about this, Nancy, is the fact that
- 21:09Speaker 12: they've got three spent casings that are on the ground,
- 21:11Speaker 12: and then they have the three live rounds and he's
- 21:15Speaker 12: having to try to clear this weapon because he's had
- 21:17Speaker 12: a malfunction, which actually does occur with some frequency when
- 21:22Speaker 12: you have a suppressed weapon. And the fact that he
- 21:28Speaker 12: had engraving and I keep hearing this term, this engraving
- 21:32Speaker 12: that was on these casing the fact that he had
- 21:38Speaker 12: a jam in the weapon, I would think that it
- 21:42Speaker 12: would be engraved on all of the rounds. So how
- 21:45Speaker 12: can you plan for that, for instance, that these rounds
- 21:48Speaker 12: are stacked, which they would be in a magazine, and
- 21:52Speaker 12: every time he clears it, he's going to eject a
- 21:56Speaker 12: live round as opposed to those that were spent when
- 21:59Speaker 12: he was If you watch the sequence on a video,
- 22:02Speaker 12: he fires once and then it looks like he clears,
- 22:06Speaker 12: but he may have actually cleared two rounds at that
- 22:09Speaker 12: point in time that we're still live because the weapon
- 22:12Speaker 12: is jamming on him and he has to cycle through it,
- 22:15Speaker 12: so he's taken a lot of time. My suspicion is
- 22:18Speaker 12: it might be there might be engraving on all of
- 22:21Speaker 12: the rounds, and that he has taken a lot of
- 22:24Speaker 12: time somewhere, probably you know, at home or wherever it is.
- 22:27Speaker 12: He shows up prepared to a certain degree, although he
- 22:30Speaker 12: didn't wear gloves and he didn't fully mask his face.
- 22:35Speaker 12: There's a lot still to kind of untangle here, but
- 22:38Speaker 12: that point is certainly fascinating. I've never encountered this before
- 22:43Speaker 12: in my years in forensics to this degree. Now, you know,
- 22:47Speaker 12: Hollywood makes a big deal out of this kind of thing,
- 22:49Speaker 12: but it's just not something you commonly run into. My
- 22:53Speaker 12: question is what's the skill level of the engraving in
- 22:56Speaker 12: addition to attempting to define how this was engraved, what
- 23:03Speaker 12: instrumentality was used, and then maybe the folks will be
- 23:06Speaker 12: able to pick up on some form in his writing
- 23:09Speaker 12: if he's doing his free hand.
- 23:11Speaker 11: Brian Thompson's wife Paulette tells NBC News that Brian has
- 23:14Speaker 11: been receiving death threats. She doesn't go into detail, saying
- 23:17Speaker 11: it was basically due to a lack of coverage. She
- 23:20Speaker 11: doesn't know exactly, but Brian said there were some people
- 23:23Speaker 11: that had been threatening him.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Straight back out to Joe Scott Morgan joining us jo Scott.
- 23:28Speaker 1: If I said earlier, if there was a death out
- 23:31Speaker 1: on my husband A, I wouldn't let him travel alone
- 23:34Speaker 1: to New York. I would at least go with him
- 23:36Speaker 1: at the very least. But that said, they have children
- 23:39Speaker 1: to take care of back at home. But no security detail,
- 23:43Speaker 1: no police reports, nothing, And she is the only one
- 23:48Speaker 1: coming forward with the alleged threats if they weren't reported
- 23:51Speaker 1: to police. Can anyone within the company verify this ever happened?
- 23:56Speaker 12: Well, he hasn't spoken of this to anybody that's around him,
- 24:00Speaker 12: But why would he not, you know, say something about this?
- 24:03Speaker 12: And let me tell you one more thing. A guy
- 24:06Speaker 12: that is in his atmosphere. You know, we see all
- 24:08Speaker 12: these celebrities, so called celebrities that are out there that
- 24:11Speaker 12: have these you know, security details with it. This is
- 24:14Speaker 12: a guy, Nancy, that actually has a level of value
- 24:19Speaker 12: and would heighten anybody's since it's relative to the danger
- 24:25Speaker 12: he could potentially be in. Why wouldn't you put a
- 24:28Speaker 12: couple of people on him to check the rout at
- 24:30Speaker 12: least to be body people that are going to score
- 24:33Speaker 12: him around. Maybe he didn't want that. I have no idea,
- 24:37Speaker 12: but I do know that he's a prime target. It's
- 24:39Speaker 12: just fascinating to me that they chose this particular location,
- 24:42Speaker 12: this individual went about it in this manner because I
- 24:46Speaker 12: agree with all of the other panelists. I think this
- 24:48Speaker 12: guy has some weapons familiarity, but he is in no
- 24:51Speaker 12: way a pro. If he had been a pro, we
- 24:54Speaker 12: would not have seen the video last that long. This
- 24:57Speaker 12: guy would drop down.
- 25:00Speaker 1: You may need to lay down for what you're about
- 25:03Speaker 1: to hear. Take a listen.
- 25:04Speaker 11: The suspect was reportedly spoted outside a public housing project
- 25:07Speaker 11: roughly three miles from the crime scene at five am,
- 25:09Speaker 11: carrying what looked like an e bike battery. He's then
- 25:12Speaker 11: seen again checking out at Starbucks not far from the
- 25:14Speaker 11: Hilton in just minutes before the attack. It's unclear what
- 25:17Speaker 11: exactly the suspect purchased, but police believe a water bottle
- 25:21Speaker 11: and candy wrapper left at the crime scene may belong
- 25:23Speaker 11: to the shooter and are testing the items for latent
- 25:25Speaker 11: fingerprints and DNA.
- 25:27Speaker 1: The next thing we're going to hear, Lauren Colin, is
- 25:29Speaker 1: that the shooter used a credit card. I mean, he
- 25:32Speaker 1: hung out at a Starbucks just before the shooting, and
- 25:36Speaker 1: of course places himself at a public housing project. Yeah,
- 25:40Speaker 1: that's right. Blame the people of the housing project somehow
- 25:44Speaker 1: drag that into it. I guarantee you that was orchestrated
- 25:47Speaker 1: three miles from the scene with what looked to be
- 25:50Speaker 1: carrying an e bike battery in cases e bike crapped
- 25:54Speaker 1: out on him. Now, at first, this is reported to
- 25:56Speaker 1: be a city bike, the kind that are easily accessed
- 25:59Speaker 1: around New York City. Now we're hearing it may not
- 26:02Speaker 1: be a city bike. That said, then he's at Starbucks
- 26:06Speaker 1: just beside the Hilton minutes before the attack, staring straight
- 26:10Speaker 1: into the surveillance cameras. So there's not just a water
- 26:13Speaker 1: bottle he leaves behind a candy wrapper. Somebody needs a
- 26:17Speaker 1: bit of honey, somebody wants the starbus before a murder.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Yes, and there also have been reports that NYPD believes
- 26:25Speaker 4: that he may have actually taken this subway from the
- 26:28Speaker 4: Upper west Side to Midtown and to that Starbucks.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Wait, then, if he was on the Upper west Side,
- 26:36Speaker 1: then he spotted at a housing project. There's not a
- 26:41Speaker 1: housing project on the Upper west Side. Okay, that's where
- 26:44Speaker 1: all the rich people live. They look down on Central Park.
- 26:47Speaker 1: There's not a housing project there. So does he leave
- 26:49Speaker 1: the Upper West to go to a housing project to
- 26:51Speaker 1: be spotted and then go to the Starbucks.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Well, that's what police are trying to figure out, and
- 26:56Speaker 4: I didn't. Well, I'm hoping that he did take the
- 26:59Speaker 4: subway because Mayor Eric Adams.
- 27:01Speaker 5: Did implement more cameras earlier this year.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Okay, I got a lot of surveillance on this guy,
- 27:07Speaker 1: but you're right, subway would help me figure out where
- 27:10Speaker 1: he's coming from, where he's going, and how he knows
- 27:14Speaker 1: those paths. I'm still flummoxed by the fact that he
- 27:19Speaker 1: would lead a water bottle with his DNA on it,
- 27:23Speaker 1: a candy wrapper, take a bike, no gloves, has a
- 27:28Speaker 1: pretend pro shooter stance, and has engraved bullets. For Pete's sake,
- 27:34Speaker 1: why not just throw down your driver's license before you leave. Okay,
- 27:38Speaker 1: Now we hear about a potential eyewitness that goes on
- 27:44Speaker 1: the run.
- 27:44Speaker 11: Police still have not identified the eyewitness who ran from
- 27:47Speaker 11: the scene as Thompson was gunned down. A woman dressed
- 27:49Speaker 11: in dark clothing and holding a coffee cup was standing
- 27:51Speaker 11: in a doorway just feet away from Thompson when the
- 27:54Speaker 11: shooter opened fire. She runs along the building toward the
- 27:57Speaker 11: shooter to avoid the gunfire and disappears from frame. Authorities
- 28:00Speaker 11: are asking her to come forward, hoping she may be
- 28:03Speaker 11: able to provide new details on the shooter.
- 28:05Speaker 3: There's a cul phone recovered in the alleyway. We're working
- 28:07Speaker 3: through that cell phone. Obviously, we'll be processing it forensically
- 28:10Speaker 3: and as far as words being exchanged, we do not
- 28:12Speaker 3: have audio of the incident. We only have the regular
- 28:15Speaker 3: video nothing. Nothing for well, there's one witness standing right
- 28:18Speaker 3: next to the victim when he was shot. We're still
- 28:20Speaker 3: trying to identify that victim.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me.
- 28:23Speaker 12: That witness.
- 28:23Speaker 1: And we also learn that law enforcement has turned their
- 28:26Speaker 1: attention back home to Minnesota once again.
- 28:30Speaker 3: We're looking at everything. We're looking at his social media.
- 28:34Speaker 3: We are interviewing employees, we are interviewing family members. We
- 28:37Speaker 3: will be speaking to law enforcement in Minnesota.
- 28:39Speaker 1: To bernardavi Alona joining us, high profile criminal defense attorney,
- 28:43Speaker 1: former prosecutor in this jurisdiction. What do you make of it?
- 28:47Speaker 6: There's still so much unknown.
- 28:49Speaker 9: There's still so much unknown, Nancy, I mean, I'm nervous.
- 28:52Speaker 9: I just don't see that there's going to be a
- 28:55Speaker 9: somewhat arrested or apprehended at least for another few months,
- 28:58Speaker 9: if ever.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace Bernarda with the DNA, we
- 29:23Speaker 1: believe on the water bottle, the candy wrapper, likely on
- 29:28Speaker 1: the bike when it's recovered, and it will be He's
- 29:32Speaker 1: like a deer in the headlights at Starbucks. He's catching
- 29:35Speaker 1: every surveillance video around, and he's traveling on public transportation.
- 29:40Speaker 1: You still think we're not going to catch him. I
- 29:42Speaker 1: think it's going to take a lot of time, and
- 29:43Speaker 1: also we have to.
- 29:44Speaker 9: Hope that his DNA is in the system, in the
- 29:46Speaker 9: CODA system to be able to identify him, or unless
- 29:49Speaker 9: they go into one of his genealogy sites where they
- 29:52Speaker 9: try to try to identify him by someone in his
- 29:55Speaker 9: family that may have submitted for DNA.
- 29:57Speaker 6: I don't think it's impossible.
- 29:58Speaker 9: Because also we have remember because of the timing of
- 30:02Speaker 9: this that we're talking about six in the morning, it
- 30:04Speaker 9: is very early. The streets are not packed, so it
- 30:07Speaker 9: makes it much easier to follow him via the cameras.
- 30:11Speaker 9: So I think that's why the cops and law enforcement
- 30:13Speaker 9: has been able to recover so much camera.
- 30:15Speaker 6: Footage of him.
- 30:17Speaker 1: So the timing.
- 30:18Speaker 9: Helps the helps law enforcement to try to get so
- 30:22Speaker 9: much lead. So I think it's a matter of time.
- 30:24Speaker 9: I just don't think it's going to be any time.
- 30:26Speaker 9: So I agree again, this is not a professional Scott Iiker.
- 30:30Speaker 1: What do you make of the fact that New York
- 30:34Speaker 1: detectives are now turning to the Minnesota law enforcement.
- 30:40Speaker 10: You've got to cover all the bases, not only but
- 30:44Speaker 10: you know his work is, you know, is in New York.
- 30:49Speaker 10: If you leave that untouched, you're missing potential evidence. You
- 30:53Speaker 10: talked about the prior threats. According to the wife, Well
- 30:56Speaker 10: let's get back there and talk to the employees there.
- 31:00Speaker 10: Let's talk about you know, what his personal life is like.
- 31:04Speaker 10: It could be, you know, a romance killing. You never
- 31:08Speaker 10: know until you get further into this type situation.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I would go with a romance killing as you
- 31:13Speaker 1: just put it, or something motivated in his personal life.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Before I would come up with a far fetched international
- 31:22Speaker 1: espionage poor guy didn't get coverage on his insurance hatches
- 31:27Speaker 1: major assassination plot theory. When motives become more and more
- 31:33Speaker 1: far fetched, they're more and more unlikely to be true.
- 31:37Speaker 1: But I can't ignore this. Listen.
- 31:40Speaker 11: In February twenty twenty four, The Wall Street Journal reports
- 31:43Speaker 11: United Health CEO Brian Thompson is the subject of a
- 31:45Speaker 11: Department of Justice antitrust probe. Prominent pension funds in California,
- 31:49Speaker 11: including the Hollywood Firefighter's Pension Fund, file a federal lawsuit
- 31:53Speaker 11: against Thompson and other United Healthcare executives, accusing them of
- 31:57Speaker 11: offloading one hundred and seventeen million dollars in company stock
- 32:00Speaker 11: before the Department of Justice probe becomes public. The lawsuit
- 32:03Speaker 11: claims Thompson knew about the investigation as early as October
- 32:06Speaker 11: twenty twenty three and sold thirty one percent of his
- 32:09Speaker 11: company shares, making fifteen million in profit, eleven days before
- 32:13Speaker 11: The Wall Street Journal reported their probe, sending United health
- 32:15Speaker 11: stock sinking five percent.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, money, money, money, the love of money the
- 32:23Speaker 1: root of all evil. You know, when you're looking at motives,
- 32:27Speaker 1: that helps you find the purp. We know that law
- 32:31Speaker 1: enforcement in New York now turning toward Minnesota. Why but
- 32:35Speaker 1: I can't ignore all that money that he pocketed. To
- 32:40Speaker 1: Justice Scott Morgan, I don't know if you heard this earlier,
- 32:43Speaker 1: but Lauren Colin, I believe it was you that stated
- 32:47Speaker 1: he had developed some type of algorithm to deny claims.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Yes, one of the subsidiaries developed an algorithm where they
- 32:55Speaker 4: were accused of not even caring or knowing which claims
- 32:59Speaker 4: were being denied. They were just doing this based on
- 33:01Speaker 4: the algorithm.
- 33:01Speaker 1: But that wasn't him they came up with the algorithm,
- 33:03Speaker 1: or was it.
- 33:04Speaker 4: It wasn't him in particular. I mean, it was somebody
- 33:07Speaker 4: within the company, but I mean, of course he could
- 33:11Speaker 4: be targeted. Additionally, going back to when you mentioned the
- 33:14Speaker 4: Minnesota police, there was a protest at the company's Minnetonta
- 33:19Speaker 4: headquarters this past July, which.
- 33:22Speaker 5: Led to the arrest of eleven people.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Protest about what.
- 33:25Speaker 4: Demonstrators accused the company's insurance arm of a systemic practice
- 33:29Speaker 4: of refusing to approve care through prior authorization denials or
- 33:34Speaker 4: paper healthcare through claim denials.
- 33:36Speaker 5: So again these.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Okay, Joe Scott, what about it? Is the motive becoming
- 33:40Speaker 1: any clearer or is it becoming more murky for you?
- 33:43Speaker 1: For me, it's becoming more clear.
- 33:44Speaker 12: Oh yeah, it is. It is becoming more clear. And
- 33:47Speaker 12: it's a way that you know, investigatively, you know, you
- 33:49Speaker 12: can kind of pair this thing down relative to motive.
- 33:52Speaker 12: And as you always say, we don't have to prove
- 33:55Speaker 12: motive but when you're still searching for somebody that could
- 33:58Speaker 12: be an active shooter out there, it's investigative goal because
- 34:03Speaker 12: that's one of the roads that you need to go
- 34:05Speaker 12: down relative to this to try to suss this out. Hey,
- 34:08Speaker 12: can I just say one more thing, Nancy, that it's
- 34:10Speaker 12: a dead giveaway with this case, that is a specific identifier.
- 34:16Speaker 12: You know. People can go and buy handguns, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 12: and there's going to be a waiting period. But if
- 34:23Speaker 12: this suppressor that he has on this weapon is not homemade,
- 34:29Speaker 12: he will have to have a handgun platform that's going
- 34:33Speaker 12: to have a threaded barrel on it so that the
- 34:36Speaker 12: suppressor can be screwed onto it. Now, when you purchase
- 34:40Speaker 12: a suppressor, it's actually a bit more rigorous than just
- 34:44Speaker 12: buying a handgun. You have to pay a tax in
- 34:47Speaker 12: advance of that purchase, and then you have to wait
- 34:50Speaker 12: because the APF comes in and they have a profile
- 34:54Speaker 12: on you at that point in time, and you have
- 34:56Speaker 12: to create a huge amount of paperwork relative to so
- 35:00Speaker 12: that one bit in there, provided of course, this is
- 35:04Speaker 12: not some kind of homemade suppressor, that's going to be
- 35:07Speaker 12: a big clue as well.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that pro stance. The sheeter
- 35:12Speaker 1: is trying to affect clearly right handed, a right handed
- 35:17Speaker 1: mail white with a specialized camera backpack. That's a camera backpack.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I guess he was using it, Joe Scott to store
- 35:31Speaker 1: the gun and anymo. But that's a specialized and very expensive,
- 35:36Speaker 1: nearly three hundred dollars backpack he's got on Joe Scott.
- 35:39Speaker 12: Yeah, And what would be the purpose of that? You
- 35:42Speaker 12: know that you would need that level. You know, you
- 35:44Speaker 12: want to make yourself small. I would think you would
- 35:46Speaker 12: want to make yourself unnoticeable. One other thing that I've
- 35:50Speaker 12: thought about as well, looking at some of this footage,
- 35:52Speaker 12: fancy is I was really interested if he had layered
- 35:57Speaker 12: up on clothing. And I know you few cases this
- 36:00Speaker 12: way before that involved this where an individual will, do
- 36:05Speaker 12: you know, conduct a shooting and they're prepared going in,
- 36:09Speaker 12: they begin to strip their clothes off. Remember you've got
- 36:11Speaker 12: CCTV footage of this guy, you know, out in about town.
- 36:16Speaker 12: Did he rip his clothes off, that top layer of
- 36:18Speaker 12: clothing dumped them? Did he have something else in the
- 36:21Speaker 12: back that he could have changed into change his appearance
- 36:24Speaker 12: as well?
- 36:25Speaker 3: Uh?
- 36:25Speaker 12: And it's still called mask that he had is not
- 36:28Speaker 12: actually a mask. You can still see his nose in
- 36:31Speaker 12: his eyes, and of course he's bare handed, so I
- 36:35Speaker 12: don't It's just it's weird to me that this guy
- 36:38Speaker 12: is not fully prepared, but yet it seems as though
- 36:42Speaker 12: he wants to be prepared again. These are these are
- 36:45Speaker 12: little elements of little breadcrumbs along the path that they're
- 36:48Speaker 12: going to follow in this case. I'm I'm actually thinking
- 36:51Speaker 12: they're going to catch this guy in pretty short order.
- 36:54Speaker 11: An internet super claims he may have tracked the location
- 36:57Speaker 11: of the assassin using city bikes tracking. A data scientist
- 37:01Speaker 11: named Riley, who goes by at rtwlz on X, claims
- 37:05Speaker 11: he's been scraping city bike data every minute and believes
- 37:08Speaker 11: he tracks the location of the bike from near the
- 37:11Speaker 11: shooting at six forty four am and straight to a
- 37:13Speaker 11: location at Madison Avenue at eighty second Street at six
- 37:16Speaker 11: fifty two am. Riley turns the info over to the
- 37:18Speaker 11: MIPD waiting on the results.
- 37:20Speaker 1: It cannot underestimate the power of citizens saluths. I can
- 37:23Speaker 1: tell you that much, especially after Gabby Patito's case. There
- 37:26Speaker 1: are nearly twenty six thousand, twenty six thousand public and
- 37:30Speaker 1: private cameras throughout Manhattan to you Bill Daily. If you
- 37:36Speaker 1: had to wager on what his path was, knowing he
- 37:43Speaker 1: went into Central Park on the bike, what would it be.
- 37:46Speaker 7: Well, first of all, knowing the way people operate, having
- 37:49Speaker 7: observed them over the many years, both in the public
- 37:52Speaker 7: and private sector, and behaviors of criminals who would be criminals,
- 37:55Speaker 7: is that people are very comfortable in areas that the
- 37:58Speaker 7: use of being being in. So I would probably think
- 38:01Speaker 7: that this person traveled in a place where he felt comfortable,
- 38:04Speaker 7: where he was kind of able to kind of blend
- 38:05Speaker 7: into his home environment, not something that's out of sorts.
- 38:10Speaker 7: If we're kind of working on this theory. They're a
- 38:12Speaker 7: couple of reports by local media here in New York
- 38:15Speaker 7: that perhaps people saw a bicycle and somebody resembling his
- 38:18Speaker 7: subscription exiting the park up in the upper eighties or
- 38:22Speaker 7: just maybe forty five minutes later. Perhaps that's that's the
- 38:25Speaker 7: direction that he went in. You know, I think, and
- 38:28Speaker 7: as you're going back to kind of motive, but just
- 38:29Speaker 7: want to touch on that for a second, because as
- 38:31Speaker 7: much as we talk about perhaps as somebody was a
- 38:34Speaker 7: former customer or former employee, but also in my career
- 38:37Speaker 7: I've also seen where we've had these advocates, people who
- 38:40Speaker 7: are out there. We mentioned about protests outside, about the
- 38:44Speaker 7: outside of the company, but there are people who become
- 38:46Speaker 7: invigorated by the fact that they have a cause. And
- 38:48Speaker 7: it could be somebody who's following in those footsteps where
- 38:51Speaker 7: they're invigorated because they hear all these things about big
- 38:53Speaker 7: insurance and want it takes take steps.
- 38:55Speaker 6: On their own.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Right now, we are looking for answers, but I know this.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I believe he went straight to a subway en route.
- 39:03Speaker 1: He shed some of his clothes as Scott and I
- 39:06Speaker 1: were discussing, but he kept the backpack and the shoes
- 39:11Speaker 1: had to because the gun will be in the backpack.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I'd be scouring every one of those twenty six thousand
- 39:18Speaker 1: cameras till I see a white guy walking along same
- 39:22Speaker 1: shoes with the backpack. If you know or think you
- 39:26Speaker 1: have any information on this case, If you think you
- 39:30Speaker 1: saw something you're not sure, doesn't matter, dial one eight
- 39:34Speaker 1: hundred five seven seven Tips one eight hundred five seven
- 39:39Speaker 1: seven eight four seven seven. And now we remember an
- 39:44Speaker 1: American hero. Police officer, Sergeant Herschel Turner, mouleen Akers, PD, Missouri,
- 39:51Speaker 1: Herschel struck and killed in the line of duty over
- 39:54Speaker 1: twenty two years serving and protecting. Survived by wife Donna
- 40:00Speaker 1: and seven children. American heroes serg A. Herschel, Turner, Nancy
