  Speaker 1: Investigators maintained that Twiggs is not charged with any crime
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and has been cooperating with authorities, but his disappearance has
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: fueled speculation amid the ongoing fallout from one of the

  Speaker 1: most politically explosive murders in modern US. His haid, Charlie Kirk,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: aged thirty one, was the outspoken founder of Turning Point USA,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: launched in twenty twelve to rally college students around Republican causes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Kirk had been on a national campus tour aimed at
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: mobilizing young conservative voters when he was shot and killed

  Speaker 1: through political circles and drawing tributes from President Trump and

  Speaker 1: conservative movement. More Crime and Justice news. After this, a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: North Carolina woman says a DNA test revealed she was
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: conceived through what she calls medical rape by her mother's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fertility doctor more than forty years ago. Now forty three
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: years old, Summer McKesson of Atlanta made the discovery after
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: years of medical problems that left doctors puzzled.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty, I found out that I had
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: blood clots in my heart and lungs. A year later,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I had to have open heart surgery.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That surgery come at age forty. Her surgeon later noticed
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: her connective tissue was unusually fragile and suggested testing from
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Marfan syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that can cause
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: cardiovascular failure if left untreated. When her geneticists confirmed the diagnosis,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: McKesson tells CNN she was shocked neither of her parents
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: had the condition. She turned to genetic testing twenty three
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and meters, hoping for clues about her health. Instead, she
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: found seven half siblings that she'd never met.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: My oldest half sibling is sixty one and the youngest
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is thirty nine.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: One month later, one of those siblings sent a message
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: suggesting that she asked her parents if they had gone
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to see a doctor named Charles Pete. Mckesson's mother, Laurie Kruppa,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: confirmed that she had been a patient of doctor Pete
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: at Duke University Hospital in the early nineteen eighties. Kroppas
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: said Pete told her that donor sperm would come from
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a medical resident. Instead, he secretly used his own.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that they had IVF for sperm
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: donation back then, and so it was a shock. It
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was almost paralyzing when I first found out to find
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: out my dad wasn't my dad.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: McKesson and another half sibling, Jim Harris. Both discovered their
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: mothers were inseminated by Pete without consent.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Back then, they couldn't freeze firms, so it had to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: be fresh, and it was supposed to be an anonymous
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: medical student that looks like my dad.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Doctor Pete, who died in twenty thirteen at age eighty nine,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was once a respected obgyn and mentor at Duke. DNA
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: testing now suggests he fathered at least twelve children outside
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: his family, possibly more. Duke Health later acknowledged quote unacceptable
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: actions by a former physician and said such conduct quote
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: should never have happened. Fertility fraud, which is when a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: doctor misrepresents the source of donor material, is not a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: crime in North Carolina, though fourteen other states have passed
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: laws against it. McKesson and her mother say they have
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: considered civil action, but see few options since Pete is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: deceased and no criminal state applies. A man dressed as
• 5:02

• 5:32
  Speaker 1: takes place.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: This is a terrible.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Is a serious no, no, no, no. Witnesses said Morgan

  Speaker 1: the University of Georgia says Morgan is not a student
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and had no affiliation with the school. Quote his actions,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: which were caught on videotape, are appalling and we are

  Speaker 1: grateful to Athens Clark County police officers for swiftly apprehending
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and arresting him. The incident has shocked students across the campus,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: especially members of Athens Jewish community, who called it a

• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of habbad Uga, spoke to wanf the Nazi symbol is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the symbol of absolute evil. It's a symbol of you know, hey,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it's painful, it's upsetting, and it's hurtful.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You know, my grandmother was Outschwitz survivor.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Students have gathered near the bar and the days following
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the attack, condemning the Nazi costumed perp and applauding those
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: who intervened. Rights groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: have also denounced the Nazi imagery, calling it an example
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of quote hateful, violent speech that should not be tolerated.
