- 1:39Speaker 1: withdraw money. The two scene on hotel surveillance videos that afternoon.
- 1:44Speaker 1: So the name Amanda Atinger may not ring a bell,
- 1:48Speaker 1: But what about the name Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of

- 2:00Speaker 1: all around good guy according to sources that know him.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So who is Amanda Edinger and what does she have
- 2:07Speaker 1: to do with multi millionaire Michael Bloomberg? I mean, see Grace,
- 2:11Speaker 1: this is Crime Stories, thank you for being with us
- 2:14Speaker 1: here at Fox Nation, and Sirius Sex sim Won eleven,
- 2:18Speaker 1: think about it. Suddenly, I don't know where You're minding
- 2:22Speaker 1: your own business and somebody puts a machine gun in
- 2:25Speaker 1: your face and says get in the car. It sounds
- 2:28Speaker 1: like a movie, but it's not straight out to Alexa's
- 2:32Speaker 1: Terrestra Crime online dot Com investigative reporter. First of all,
- 2:36Speaker 1: who is Michael Bloomberg. Let's start right there. So he
- 2:41Speaker 1: is a businessman from New York City. He is actually
- 2:44Speaker 1: a billionaire. He has created multiple businesses, but he has
- 2:48Speaker 1: a Bloomberg company. Hey question, and this may be better
- 2:51Speaker 1: for a shrink, Doctor Bethany Marshall, Doctor Bethany, not that
- 2:55Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg did this, because by all accounts, he's very assuming,
- 3:02Speaker 1: he's very um, acts like a regular guy kind of person.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But why is it when billionaires billionaires get mad if
- 3:12Speaker 1: you call them a millionaire? It's real. I'm not gonna
- 3:16Speaker 1: name any names, but they recently in the news, we've
- 3:20Speaker 1: heard a lot of drama about a millionaire angry that
- 3:24Speaker 1: he was described having fewer millions and he really does have.
- 3:30Speaker 1: What is that? Oh did that? Or why they get
- 3:33Speaker 1: they become victims of crime? You know? Why did they
- 3:36Speaker 1: get angry if they're described this is a this is real? Okay,
- 3:41Speaker 1: billionaires get angry if you describe them as a millionaire.
- 3:44Speaker 1: They don't want to be portrayed as having less than
- 3:47Speaker 1: they do. Okay. So there's a theory in my field
- 3:50Speaker 1: that money becomes what we call the third in people's lives.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It becomes that thing through which they mediate their identity.
- 3:58Speaker 1: It's they're calling part of society. It's a measure of
- 4:02Speaker 1: how important they are. And so when you mess with
- 4:05Speaker 1: somebody's identification of how much money they have, it strikes
- 4:10Speaker 1: at the core of their character. Now, for you or me,
- 4:12Speaker 1: or maybe other people on this panel, that's not front
- 4:15Speaker 1: and foremost in their life. But for a billionaire everything
- 4:21Speaker 1: has to do with their money. Their whole day is
- 4:23Speaker 1: spent collecting it, taking care of it. Okay, I just
- 4:26Speaker 1: had an epiphany because if somebody says, oh, she's a lawyer,
- 4:31Speaker 1: and someone asked me like a slip and fall or
- 4:33Speaker 1: a real question, I'm like, I don't do that. I
- 4:36Speaker 1: put murderers behind bars. That's my kind of law. If
- 4:40Speaker 1: it ain't got a crime scene tape around it, I'm
- 4:43Speaker 1: not interested. And I take offense at being described as
- 4:47Speaker 1: like I don't know a slip and fall attorney or
- 4:50Speaker 1: an ambulance chaser, because I guess your identity is so
- 4:53Speaker 1: wrapped up. Or somebody says she has a daughter, might no,
- 4:57Speaker 1: doun't I have a girl and a boy. I have
- 4:59Speaker 1: twee I'm double duty. Okay it Matt it's what someone
- 5:04Speaker 1: calls me a psychologist. I'm a psycho analyst. I still
- 5:11Speaker 1: don't know the difference because they did not teach me
- 5:14Speaker 1: that in law school. But I know better than to
- 5:16Speaker 1: call you a psychologist or a psychiatrist. No way. Okay,
- 5:20Speaker 1: I'm starting to understand it. Okay, alexis arresta little. Did
- 5:22Speaker 1: you know you just dropped a bomb in this? Guys
- 5:25Speaker 1: with me? A high profile lawyer out of LA. This

- 6:16Speaker 1: at Tompachery dot com. Alexas Terreschuck Crime online dot com
- 6:20Speaker 1: investigative reporter. Pick it up where you left off. What
- 6:24Speaker 1: we were talking about. Who it's Michael Bloomberg. So Bloomberg
- 6:27Speaker 1: started out in the financial world. He founded his own company.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It's a financial institution, but it provides information and software
- 6:36Speaker 1: and it's known as the Bloomberg Terminal. Makes his billions
- 6:39Speaker 1: of the Bloomberg the Bloomberg Terminal Terminal. Okay, he has
- 6:44Speaker 1: a really unique office. He has this philosophy behind his business.
- 6:50Speaker 1: So like the elevators in his building don't go to
- 6:52Speaker 1: every floor, and there are only trash cans at the
- 6:55Speaker 1: end of the wall, and there are no like private offices.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Everything's open. It was a philosophy he felt really made
- 7:02Speaker 1: people work to their maximum and really was the most
- 7:04Speaker 1: beneficial bread. Well, I don't the elevators go to every
- 7:06Speaker 1: floor because he thought it'd be better to blok or
- 7:09Speaker 1: do different things. Dear Bloomberg philosophy. Yeah, okay, can I
- 7:12Speaker 1: tell you I had that experience seeing a friend in
- 7:14Speaker 1: the hospital in New York and those elevators stopped at
- 7:18Speaker 1: every floor, so Orthodox Jews would not have to push
- 7:23Speaker 1: a button on Sundays because they are well on their sabbath. Right,
- 7:28Speaker 1: So the elevators are are very different in certain locations.
- 7:31Speaker 1: But you know what I've been told Alexis Terres by
- 7:34Speaker 1: people that have worked for Bloomberg directly for him and
- 7:39Speaker 1: people that were way down the totem pole, that they
- 7:44Speaker 1: love him. That he would provide food in the building
- 7:49Speaker 1: for his employees, like really good food. So in New
- 7:54Speaker 1: York at Bloomberg TV, you don't have to go out
- 7:56Speaker 1: in the cold to find lunch. Just a really nice
- 8:01Speaker 1: guy walked the floor, would talk to the employees all
- 8:05Speaker 1: the time, actually listen to them. And that's really how
- 8:09Speaker 1: I'm judging him, because that's how he treats his employees.
- 8:12Speaker 1: And I would also like to say to my recollection, Hey, Jackie,
- 8:15Speaker 1: well you google this can make sure I'm not wrong
- 8:17Speaker 1: that under Bloomberg, when I was living in New York
- 8:21Speaker 1: for so many years, the crime rate was really low,
- 8:25Speaker 1: as I recall, so I know he was doing something right. Okay,
- 8:30Speaker 1: back to Bloomberg, Let's get to the billion billionaire part,
- 8:33Speaker 1: because that's what plays into this kidnap go ahead, so
- 8:37Speaker 1: I looked it up to make sure that these numbers
- 8:39Speaker 1: are right. In twenty twenty, Forbes ranked him as the
- 8:43Speaker 1: twentieth richest person in the world, and then as a
- 8:48Speaker 1: September eight, twenty twenty, he ranked him fourteenth. He is
- 8:53Speaker 1: worth fifty five billion dollars. Wow, that's all I can
- 8:58Speaker 1: say to that. And he worked for it too. It's
- 9:02Speaker 1: not like it was handed down to him. Guys. How
- 9:05Speaker 1: does a guy like Bloomberg and his daughters Emma and
- 9:11Speaker 1: Georgina get dragged into a violent kidnapping plot where this woman,
- 9:20Speaker 1: Amanda Edinger has a machine gun shoved in her face. Guys,
- 9:27Speaker 1: take a listen nowt to our cut three. This is
- 9:30Speaker 1: Andrew Hillo Denver seven nuta tails tonight about a woman
- 9:33Speaker 1: allegedly kidnapped from a ranche in northwestern Colorado early yesterday morning.
- 9:38Speaker 1: The Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Department says she worked on
- 9:41Speaker 1: the ranch. A former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Forty eight year old Joseph Beach was accused of kidnapping
- 9:47Speaker 1: Amanda Edtinger at gunpoint. Deputy State Beecher forced her into
- 9:51Speaker 1: her own pickup truck and drove across state to the
- 9:54Speaker 1: front Range Crime Stories with Nancy Grace to Alexis Terres Chuck.
- 10:11Speaker 1: She worked on his ranch. Tell me about the ranch,
- 10:16Speaker 1: where is it? How big is it? What she does
- 10:20Speaker 1: there to the connection between Bloomberg and Amanda Edinger. So
- 10:26Speaker 1: she works on his property which is in it's known
- 10:29Speaker 1: as wet Lamb and he Westlands Westlands west and it
- 10:34Speaker 1: is Land west Lands, and it is four thousand, six
- 10:38Speaker 1: hundred acres forty six hundred acres. It is immense, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: he just purchases in twenty twenty for forty four point
- 10:46Speaker 1: eight million dollars. But that was he actually got a
- 10:49Speaker 1: deal on it because it was originally the asking prices
- 10:52Speaker 1: forty six million dollars. So okay, a bit of money, yeah,
- 10:56Speaker 1: I mean, it's the bargain from what I understand, This
- 10:58Speaker 1: guy Joseph b Sure barrels his car through the front
- 11:03Speaker 1: gate and stormed the home straight out to Bobby Chicon
- 11:08Speaker 1: twenty seven years FBI agent Bobby, how does one person
- 11:15Speaker 1: pull off storming the gates of Bloomberg's Westland mansion. Well,
- 11:20Speaker 1: you know, nanty a lot of these um wealthy people
- 11:24Speaker 1: when they have these with these ranches and things like that.
- 11:27Speaker 1: They're not often there and they keep a pretty public schedule,
- 11:31Speaker 1: so that you know, on many many many times, sometimes weeks,
- 11:35Speaker 1: sometimes months, um, there's nobody at these ranches except the
- 11:39Speaker 1: bear maintenance crews that keep the place up and running
- 11:43Speaker 1: for when the when the owner is going to arrive.
- 11:45Speaker 1: So a lot of times there's very few people there.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And if you're any student of these places, these are
- 11:51Speaker 1: usually in small towns, um, and you can you know,
- 11:54Speaker 1: people are fairly easily tracked their comings and going, particularly
- 11:57Speaker 1: celebrities type people. UM. And so there's usually barrel any security.
- 12:02Speaker 1: If the owner's not there, they have the bare minimum
- 12:04Speaker 1: security of course when the owner arrived as the big
- 12:06Speaker 1: beef up security. But normally at a time like this,
- 12:09Speaker 1: when the owner's not off property, you're going to have
- 12:12Speaker 1: simply just the maintenance and cleaning people and maybe some
- 12:16Speaker 1: you know, skeleton crew of security there. So explain to me,
- 12:19Speaker 1: alexis terres Chuck, how he got through it? Was there
- 12:23Speaker 1: even security? Was there a closed gate? Did he ram
- 12:27Speaker 1: the car through the gate opening it or did he
- 12:29Speaker 1: ram the car into the ranch? What happened? So there
- 12:32Speaker 1: was a gate in front of the ranch. There was
- 12:35Speaker 1: not there's not a security guard at the gates. She's
- 12:38Speaker 1: a big metal ring. So he drove up, he checked
- 12:40Speaker 1: it out, he looked at it. Then he backed his
- 12:42Speaker 1: car up and barreled through it. His car was powerful
- 12:45Speaker 1: enough to crash through the gate. And nobody noticed, as
- 12:49Speaker 1: you know, he just said Bloomberg had was not there
- 12:54Speaker 1: and so but he didn't know this right, and so
- 12:57Speaker 1: that he just crashed it. And then he gets into
- 12:59Speaker 1: the house. This house, this is not a small ranch house.
- 13:02Speaker 1: This is a nineteen thousand square foot house. The property
- 13:07Speaker 1: also has a golf course that was designed by the
- 13:10Speaker 1: famous golfer Greg Norman. There's a tennis court, there's a hellipat,
- 13:14Speaker 1: there's a theater in the house. So nineteen thousand square feet.
- 13:17Speaker 1: This woman is inside the home. Of course, in the
- 13:20Speaker 1: nine thousand square foot house, you're not going to hear
- 13:22Speaker 1: what happens at the gate, you know, in a almost
- 13:25Speaker 1: a five thousand square foot or five thousand acre property.
- 13:27Speaker 1: It's a mile away, So she didn't hear it at all.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Nobody was aware of the car crashing through the gate.
- 13:34Speaker 1: He pulls up to the house, runs inside, starts running
- 13:37Speaker 1: around and confronts her. He finds her she's actually cleaning
- 13:42Speaker 1: a closet, so her back is to him. She's completely
- 13:46Speaker 1: unaware of anything going on around her, and he comes
- 13:49Speaker 1: up to her with what she described as a machine
- 13:52Speaker 1: gun and puts it pointed at her. To Tampa Terry,
- 13:55Speaker 1: America's leading personal safety expert, author of the Personal Protection
- 13:58Speaker 1: Handbook for US regular People? What are we supposed to
- 14:07Speaker 1: do to ward off home invasions? Tom? Just so you know,
- 14:13Speaker 1: was it three days ago we covered the case of
- 14:18Speaker 1: a home invasion where a felon breaks in to a
- 14:25Speaker 1: home where the man, the husband, and wife are asleep
- 14:27Speaker 1: in bed. It was either his brother or his friend
- 14:31Speaker 1: was staying there, was leaving for a night job at
- 14:35Speaker 1: about one o'clock in the morning, goes outside to get
- 14:39Speaker 1: in the car to go to work, has this little
- 14:41Speaker 1: lunch and everything with him my dad used to do
- 14:44Speaker 1: at midnight, would leave to go to work, and the
- 14:48Speaker 1: perps sees that opportunity to storm the house with guns,
- 14:54Speaker 1: shot the husband, the father dead in the bed, and
- 15:00Speaker 1: all they took was a cell phone and a pocketbook
- 15:04Speaker 1: and some money that was laying beside the pocket. But
- 15:06Speaker 1: like you know, like I would have five ones and
- 15:10Speaker 1: a ten and that's he home invaded, shot the dad,
- 15:16Speaker 1: the husband dead in bed as he was sleeping beside
- 15:19Speaker 1: his wife for a cell phone in a pocketbook. So
- 15:23Speaker 1: help me out. But Terry on home invasions, Okay, well,
- 15:27Speaker 1: there's two types of home invasions. Usually in the daytime
- 15:30Speaker 1: ten to two. It's it's a professional and goes in there.
- 15:32Speaker 1: He takes what he knows. Hold on to Terry. You
- 15:35Speaker 1: got me drinking from the fire, Hydra here, slow it down,
- 15:37Speaker 1: and you said there's two types and one would be
- 15:40Speaker 1: between ten and two, and that would be a pro. Okay, exactly,
- 15:45Speaker 1: professional that knows what to do, what takes only lucrative stuff, cash,
- 15:49Speaker 1: jewelry gone. Usually three to five minutes done. He's already gotten,
- 15:54Speaker 1: you know, and he's got a preset plan. He already
- 15:56Speaker 1: knows a day out of the house. He knows when
- 15:58Speaker 1: people are home. You know, we are creatures of habit.
- 16:01Speaker 1: So are you saying they would come in? A pro
- 16:03Speaker 1: would come in between tenna two because he thinks everybody's
- 16:05Speaker 1: at work. Yes, And then most of the time, because
- 16:09Speaker 1: he surveiled the house, he already knows, you know, how
- 16:13Speaker 1: to get in what to do is their alarm system,
- 16:16Speaker 1: is their broken door? You know, did they leave a
- 16:18Speaker 1: ladder around that they could go through a window? I mean,
- 16:20Speaker 1: it's all things that people usually doing, and a lot
- 16:23Speaker 1: of times they played themselves as landscapers or gas man,
- 16:27Speaker 1: so they look like they fit the environment. Now that's
- 16:30Speaker 1: much different at night. Now at night it's usually drug
- 16:33Speaker 1: induced somebody that's desperate. You know, they're not of sound
- 16:37Speaker 1: minded body, So that's when the violence occurs, you know,
- 16:40Speaker 1: and they're looking for anything that they could take and
- 16:43Speaker 1: sell to get a quick fix, to buy their selves
- 16:46Speaker 1: drugs or whatever they need do. So in this case,
- 16:51Speaker 1: I would say he falls in the category of the
- 16:54Speaker 1: pro Alexas Terrestia. What time of the day or night
- 16:57Speaker 1: was the home invasion of Bloomberg's ranch. It was ten
- 17:01Speaker 1: fifteen in the morning. That's exactly what you just said, Petery.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You said between ten and two, and this is at
- 17:08Speaker 1: ten fifteen. Now it seems to me, though, Tom Pettery,
- 17:13Speaker 1: that knowing it is Michael Bloomberg's ranch, you would assume
- 17:20Speaker 1: that somebody was there, and I guess that's the point.
- 17:24Speaker 1: He was there to kidnap someone as opposed to home
- 17:27Speaker 1: invade and steal stuff. Yes, because look, I protect celebrities
- 17:32Speaker 1: and execs for a living, and the biggest thing that
- 17:35Speaker 1: they care about is the weakness in the chain, which
- 17:38Speaker 1: is family members. They care more about having security on
- 17:41Speaker 1: their kids than themselves. So this person that did this
- 17:45Speaker 1: knew that if he abducted this daughter or son or whoever.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I mean, that's high ransom because in the history of ransoms,
- 17:53Speaker 1: people will always pay for their children. Well, you're right
- 17:56Speaker 1: on the money. Speaking of money, Tom Petery, take a
- 18:00Speaker 1: listen to Less Trent Insight edition. For those of you
- 18:05Speaker 1: that know the name Sinatra, this should ring a bell. Listen.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Frank Junior inherited his father's looks and velvet voice. When
- 18:13Speaker 1: Junior was just nineteen, he was kidnapped at a casino
- 18:17Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe. They are of rying ordeal of Frank Chanak.
- 18:20Speaker 1: When Junior began while he was killing an engagement at
- 18:23Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe. The mastermind was a troubled young man named
- 18:26Speaker 1: Barry Keenan. He knew I was dangerous. He knew I
- 18:29Speaker 1: was just one crack away from killing everybody, or not
- 18:33Speaker 1: killing me. He didn't know, but he can tell I
- 18:36Speaker 1: was crazy. Inside edition spoke to Barry Keenan in two
- 18:39Speaker 1: thousand and four. Keenan and two cronies were paid a
- 18:42Speaker 1: ransom of two hundred and forty thousand dollars the equivalent
- 18:46Speaker 1: of one point eight million dollars today. The thugs released
- 18:50Speaker 1: Junior on an LA Freeway overpass. Then he walked home
- 18:54Speaker 1: to the family's mansion in bel Air. Nervous eventually, but
- 18:59Speaker 1: the only I'm gonna do all for the best. Keenom
- 19:02Speaker 1: was caught and spent five years in prison. Five years
- 19:06Speaker 1: for kidnapped Troice Layton. That's not right. That's a twenty
- 19:10Speaker 1: to life. While there may have been mitigating circumstances, and
- 19:15Speaker 1: the victim was released and turned out unscathed. Crime stories
- 19:34Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace Troice Layton. The money motive, or pecuniary interest,
- 19:45Speaker 1: as it is often called in the law, in most
- 19:48Speaker 1: cases works against a defendant because it's for instance, that
- 19:53Speaker 1: is an aggravating circumstance for the death penalty. If you
- 19:57Speaker 1: are killing for money, like a hired mercenary. If you,
- 20:03Speaker 1: in fact arrange a killing of your spouse safe for insurance,
- 20:06Speaker 1: that's killing for money. So the law looks less kindly
- 20:11Speaker 1: on a killer or a kidnapper if they are acting
- 20:16Speaker 1: with money motive. Explain why, Troice Lighten. Well, when a
- 20:22Speaker 1: jury is asked to consider whether or not to impose
- 20:25Speaker 1: the death penalty on a victim, there's a whole list
- 20:28Speaker 1: of what are called special circumstances that the jury may
- 20:32Speaker 1: have to find lying in wait, killing multiple people, all
- 20:38Speaker 1: this malice of forethought. Like you said, money, these are
- 20:42Speaker 1: all things that make just what would be a normal
- 20:45Speaker 1: crime of murder a heat like a heat of passion,
- 20:48Speaker 1: something happened right in the moment where somebody finds their
- 20:52Speaker 1: wife in bed with another man. Why do you always
- 20:55Speaker 1: use the same tired example, Troice Lighten, Why doesn't the
- 21:00Speaker 1: wife ever find their husband in bend with somebody and
- 21:02Speaker 1: shoot both of them? It's always the same with you.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Oh that happens to Nancy. But what the point is
- 21:09Speaker 1: the lone? You just go to the botron worse, Why
- 21:12Speaker 1: does it always have to be the woman in bad
- 21:14Speaker 1: with somebody else having sex and the husband comes in
- 21:17Speaker 1: and kills her. You got to come up with something
- 21:19Speaker 1: better than that. But your legal point is, the legal
- 21:22Speaker 1: point is certain motives for the crimes. What the men's
- 21:27Speaker 1: rea is, what the what the guilty mind is Oh,
- 21:30Speaker 1: I know you're throwing Latin phrases around. Go ahead, certain
- 21:34Speaker 1: things are worse than others. Men's rea means the guilty mind,
- 21:40Speaker 1: and so the line poses worse penalties on things that
- 21:45Speaker 1: have worse motives. And you know why I think that is.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I mean, all motive for murder is bad. All murder
- 21:51Speaker 1: is bad. But doctor Bethany Marshall, it takes a certain
- 21:54Speaker 1: kind of mind, depraved mind to plan out the murder
- 22:01Speaker 1: coldly and calculatedly. You know you're going to kill this person,
- 22:06Speaker 1: you plan it in detail, and your motive is money.
- 22:11Speaker 1: There is something there's something colder about that, as Troy
- 22:15Speaker 1: Slayton was pointing out in his own special way. Then
- 22:19Speaker 1: getting into a bar fight, pulling your gun at bam
- 22:22Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, what did I just do? No,
- 22:25Speaker 1: this is cold and calculated. When you kidnap or murder
- 22:29Speaker 1: for money, Well, if the motivation is emotional, you caught
- 22:34Speaker 1: your husband cheating with another woman, You've gotten in a
- 22:38Speaker 1: bar fight, something like that, it's hot. The emotions are hot,
- 22:42Speaker 1: it's temporary, it ebbs away over time. It's based on
- 22:46Speaker 1: impulsivity and the inability to contains one emotion one's emotions.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Now in this case, somebody who's going to crash through
- 22:54Speaker 1: the gates of by multi billionaires, a billionaire inaire's home.
- 23:01Speaker 1: This is somebody who's been methodical, who's been thinking about it.
- 23:05Speaker 1: And actually I was thinking about the profile of the stalker.
- 23:08Speaker 1: In some ways, we could even see this as a
- 23:10Speaker 1: form of stalking Michael Blueberg, that he is obsessed with him.
- 23:14Speaker 1: You know, I have a couple of international stars in
- 23:19Speaker 1: my practice who were child stars and they tell me
- 23:22Speaker 1: that they had bodyguards throughout their childhood and even now
- 23:27Speaker 1: because the lad would regularly approach them and say, did
- 23:32Speaker 1: you know you have stalkers? It would come to the
- 23:34Speaker 1: LAPD's attention. And when one child star told me it
- 23:38Speaker 1: was terrifying that the police brought her pictures of the
- 23:42Speaker 1: stalker's room. He had a whole room dedicated to her,
- 23:45Speaker 1: and it was pictures of her on tour, pictures her,
- 23:48Speaker 1: you know, newspaper clippings, her family members, her child So
- 23:54Speaker 1: the person was obsessed with her and she still thinks about,
- 23:58Speaker 1: you know, if he's still obsessed with her nowls So
- 24:00Speaker 1: I would also put this in that category. When you're
- 24:02Speaker 1: talking about these kinds of crimes rather than a ball
- 24:06Speaker 1: ballroom brawl or something like that. You have somebody who's
- 24:09Speaker 1: fixated on Michael Bloomberg, and as soon as he gets
- 24:12Speaker 1: back out of jail, he's going to be fixated on
- 24:14Speaker 1: him again. You know, I'm gonna come to you, Bobby Chicone,
- 24:18Speaker 1: because I know you have had experience with kidnappings. We
- 24:21Speaker 1: just played you, Safro when Frank Sinatra's son. You don't
- 24:25Speaker 1: I didn't want to mess with Sinatra. Okay, he's got
- 24:28Speaker 1: so many mob ties out the ying Yang, but he's
- 24:32Speaker 1: not the only high profile person whose relative child specifically
- 24:39Speaker 1: was kidnapped. Take a listen to our cut seventeen from
- 24:42Speaker 1: Inside Edition. To the name Getty ring a bell. He
- 24:47Speaker 1: was the richest man in the world, but when billionaire
- 24:49Speaker 1: John Paul Getty's sixteen year old grandson was kidnapped, he
- 24:53Speaker 1: refused to pay a dime in ransom. The real kidnapping
- 24:56Speaker 1: in Italy in nineteen seventy three made headlines around the world.
- 25:00Speaker 1: The teenager's distraught mom pleaded with the kidnappers. Only when
- 25:03Speaker 1: the kidnappers cut off the boy's ear did his grandfather
- 25:06Speaker 1: agree to pay, but only as much as he could
- 25:09Speaker 1: deduct from his taxes two point two million dollars. The
- 25:13Speaker 1: rest of the ransom, seven hundred thousand dollars, was deemed alone.
- 25:17Speaker 1: The teenager had to pay back with four percent interest.
- 25:23Speaker 1: This was the dramatic scene when the boy was released
- 25:26Speaker 1: and reunited with his mother, but there was no happy ending.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Eoded and suffered a stroke when he was just twenty four,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
- 25:36Speaker 1: He died in two eleven two. Hold on, Bobby, I
- 25:40Speaker 1: gotta get back to our shrink. Doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst
- 25:43Speaker 1: joining us from La Bethany. Your grandfather refuses to pay
- 25:48Speaker 1: their aunt someone he's the richest person in the world.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Then only when your ear is cut off does the
- 25:57Speaker 1: grandfather agree to pay. Only the amount that is tax
- 26:00Speaker 1: deductible two point two million dollars. The rest is seven
- 26:06Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. He paid was deemed alone, and his
- 26:09Speaker 1: grandson had to pay it back four percent interest. No
- 26:14Speaker 1: wonder was I mean, if we know that much about
- 26:18Speaker 1: the family dynamic, can you imagine why the boy grew
- 26:23Speaker 1: up and overdosed when he was just twenty four and
- 26:26Speaker 1: then died of a stroke. You know, Nancy, one definition
- 26:29Speaker 1: of trauma is when the unimaginable happens. The unimaginable happened.
- 26:34Speaker 1: He was kidnapped. His grandfather wouldn't pay the ransom. He
- 26:38Speaker 1: had to pay it back with four percent interests. Yes,
- 26:41Speaker 1: the fact that he stroked out, odeed, spent the rest
- 26:44Speaker 1: of his life in a wheelchair is not surprising because
- 26:47Speaker 1: when we have severe trauma, it affects our body, not
- 26:52Speaker 1: just our mind. It's all intertwined. So for any of
- 26:55Speaker 1: your listeners who had the unimaginable happen to them, Yeah,
- 26:58Speaker 1: they're going to be depressed, They're going to have sleepless nights,
- 27:02Speaker 1: They're going to have reactive attachment disorder where they can't
- 27:04Speaker 1: attach to the people around them. It's going to affect
- 27:07Speaker 1: them on every single level. And I'm thinking about when
- 27:10Speaker 1: this guy crashed through the gates, you know, who did
- 27:13Speaker 1: he encounter, what did he do to them? And what
- 27:15Speaker 1: kind of unimaginable horrors did they did they encounter? And
- 27:19Speaker 1: what are the reverberating effects of this story and this
- 27:22Speaker 1: crime going to be Bobby Karl, you've seen a lot
- 27:26Speaker 1: of kidnaps, and before you describe what you have seen,
- 27:30Speaker 1: take listen to our cut forteying This is our friend,
- 27:34Speaker 1: Deborah Roberts at ABC News. I did not want to die,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and I remember praying to God, and I remember I
- 27:41Speaker 1: never said, you know, like a man. In my mind,
- 27:44Speaker 1: I never wanted to end my prayers because I didn't
- 27:47Speaker 1: want God to leave me. She endus the next nine
- 27:50Speaker 1: months through prayer and gains her captor's trust by never
- 27:54Speaker 1: disagreeing or angering him, The two forming a complicated bond.
- 27:59Speaker 1: They would walk together, and she says she even agreed
- 28:02Speaker 1: to help him make counterfeit money. Part of how I
- 28:05Speaker 1: gained his trust, I guess was, you know, I went
- 28:07Speaker 1: along with whatever he wanted to do. In fact, he
- 28:10Speaker 1: was so afraid police were about to arrest him on
- 28:12Speaker 1: a counterfeiting investigation. He let Abby go on a desolate road.
- 28:17Speaker 1: There were no cars coming either way, and he said,
- 28:19Speaker 1: get out, just like that, Just like that. That was it.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I remember looking up and laughing, just being so happy.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I never thought it would happen to me. But I'm free.
- 28:31Speaker 1: And I just walked home hearing the voice of kidnap
- 28:35Speaker 1: victim Abbey Hernandez. Now I believe it's Philippians, it says
- 28:40Speaker 1: pray and all circumstances pray without ceasing that she was
- 28:43Speaker 1: so afraid he would kill her she would not say
- 28:48Speaker 1: amen to any of her prayers. She says she didn't
- 28:51Speaker 1: want the Lord to leave her as if he would.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Time stories with Nancy Grace. You know Bobby Chakarn speaking
- 29:13Speaker 1: of kidnapping for money, and you know who I'm talking
- 29:16Speaker 1: about the Alaska and Barista Samantha Koenig and her pos
- 29:22Speaker 1: kidnapper mayhe rot in Hell Israel keys remember that, sure, Nancy,
- 29:28Speaker 1: I didn't. We don't even think that started out as
- 29:30Speaker 1: a kidnapping. That was a mistake that's admittedly made later on,
- 29:35Speaker 1: but it was it was the thing that got him,
- 29:37Speaker 1: caught him kept going back to the ATMs to get
- 29:41Speaker 1: money out of the account that Samantha's account that we
- 29:44Speaker 1: had started depositing money into. That was our connection to him,
- 29:47Speaker 1: and ultimately it's downfall. But these these kidnappings break two
- 29:50Speaker 1: different ways. So you have the stalkers like we just
- 29:54Speaker 1: heard this young woman whose heals for nine months, who
- 29:56Speaker 1: was much more personal, not financially motivating. Then then then you
- 30:00Speaker 1: would have the ones more recently, like see when the
- 30:03Speaker 1: hotel owner in Las Vegas casino owner whose daughter was
- 30:06Speaker 1: kidnaped in nineteen ninety three. He made the ransom, never
- 30:09Speaker 1: at contact of the cops. He got the daughter back
- 30:11Speaker 1: in two hours. We got involved later in track down
- 30:14Speaker 1: the kidnappers and they went to jail. Um. But there
- 30:18Speaker 1: are those types of that are professional. They just want
- 30:21Speaker 1: the money, they have a plan, it's executed very well. Um.
- 30:25Speaker 1: We in the early two thousands, we foiled an attempt
- 30:28Speaker 1: to kidnap David Letterman Stun from his ranch in Montana,
- 30:32Speaker 1: which seems very much like this case with Bloomberg. Um.
- 30:35Speaker 1: But there it was a person who worked for the
- 30:39Speaker 1: Letterman estate there. They knew the inside layout of the property,
- 30:42Speaker 1: they had pictures, and they had a plan. Fortunately we
- 30:45Speaker 1: were able to get onto the plan before whatever took place.
- 30:48Speaker 1: But but there are these things breakdown along those those
- 30:51Speaker 1: two lines, whether it's personal and they're going to kidnap
- 30:54Speaker 1: this person because they're obsessed with them, they're not really
- 30:56Speaker 1: as interested in the ransom. Um. And then there's the
- 30:59Speaker 1: ones the wind case where the girl was left safe
- 31:03Speaker 1: alone in a car at the airport in Vegas. I
- 31:05Speaker 1: think that's how they returned her after two hours. And
- 31:08Speaker 1: so they were just interested in money, and they got
- 31:12Speaker 1: it very quickly, and it was planned very well. Um.
- 31:15Speaker 1: The Bloomberg case, I'm not sure how well it was planned. Um,
- 31:18Speaker 1: there was a seems to be you know, an emotional
- 31:22Speaker 1: you know elements in this way he crashed the gate. Um.
- 31:25Speaker 1: It's not the kind of thing we usually see. Kidnapping's
- 31:27Speaker 1: usually done very covertly. Um. You want to get the
- 31:30Speaker 1: person to get to get in and get out and
- 31:32Speaker 1: then make your ransom demand. So you want to do
- 31:35Speaker 1: that with as little fair fanfare as possible to the
- 31:38Speaker 1: initial abduction. Um. And so normally we don't see this
- 31:43Speaker 1: kind of approach on a kidnapping. You know, you mentioned
- 31:46Speaker 1: some kidnappings that were foiled and somewhere the kidnapped victim
- 31:52Speaker 1: was saved. Not true in the case of Samantha Konik,
- 31:55Speaker 1: where you actually supervised digging and an iced over river
- 32:02Speaker 1: lake to pull up Samantha Koenig's body parts. This young
- 32:07Speaker 1: I believe she was nineteen, wasn't she Alaska? Yes, working
- 32:12Speaker 1: in a coffee stand, was kidnapped. A ransom photo of
- 32:17Speaker 1: her was left at a park with a money demand,
- 32:23Speaker 1: and as soon as the boyfriend and the dad saw it.
- 32:26Speaker 1: They knew something was wrong because she never, like my
- 32:30Speaker 1: daughter has never, except when I did it when she
- 32:32Speaker 1: was a little girl, worn her hair in two long braids.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Never she puts her hair back in a bun. My
- 32:40Speaker 1: girl does. And Samantha had her hair in braids, and
- 32:45Speaker 1: she looked like she had on makeup that she wouldn't
- 32:48Speaker 1: normally wear. We found out later he had not only
- 32:53Speaker 1: raped her repeatedly, but had sewed her eye lids open,
- 32:59Speaker 1: had covered her makeup to make her look alive. And
- 33:02Speaker 1: she was dead at the time. The ransom from the kidnapping.
- 33:07Speaker 1: That's how serious kidnappings can be. So to you, Alexis
- 33:12Speaker 1: terres Chuck, and I'm going to come back to you,
- 33:15Speaker 1: Tapatie with the personal protection handbook about how to avoid abduction.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Alexis Terresha, I believe that the intended victims were Bloomberg's daughters,
- 33:28Speaker 1: Emma and Georgina. They were That's what he was, That's
- 33:31Speaker 1: who he was looking for. Now, Emma and Georgina are
- 33:34Speaker 1: not young children, ones in r thirties and ones in
- 33:36Speaker 1: her forties. Georgina that is a well known equestrian. She
- 33:41Speaker 1: both of these girls and were in a documentary that
- 33:45Speaker 1: was called born Rich in two thousand and three. Like,
- 33:47Speaker 1: people know who they are, they're they're very well known.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Their dad is not the kind who's like, I'm cutting
- 33:53Speaker 1: off my children. I'm not helping them. He would, you know,
- 33:56Speaker 1: a ransom. I don't know him, but I would imagine
- 33:58Speaker 1: if there was a ransom, he would pay it. He
- 34:00Speaker 1: would never want his daughter's ear to be cut off,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and he wouldn't charter her interest when it came back,
- 34:05Speaker 1: when he came back. Take a listen to our cut six.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Phil lipof ABC This Morning new dramatic police video a
- 34:12Speaker 1: daring rescue ending the kidnapping of a woman who worked
- 34:14Speaker 1: for Michael Bloomberg. Police say she was taken at gunpoint
- 34:18Speaker 1: from his Colorado ranch Wednesday. This video showing the Cheyenne
- 34:21Speaker 1: Police Department's joint SWAT team arriving to the scene at
- 34:24Speaker 1: the Stagecoach Motel just across state lines. All enfortunate did
- 34:28Speaker 1: everything right in this case. They were able to apparently
- 34:33Speaker 1: track her iPad, which eventually led them to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Investigators say the suspect, Joseph Beecher, was carrying an AR
- 34:42Speaker 1: fifteen and a handgun when he was arrested. Now he's
- 34:45Speaker 1: charged with kidnapping in federal court. To Bobbie Chacon, explain
- 34:49Speaker 1: what an AAR fifteen is. It's semi automatic long gun.
- 34:52Speaker 1: It's not. It looks like a machine gun because it's
- 34:55Speaker 1: got a long barrel on it and the way it's held,
- 34:58Speaker 1: but it really is a Usually a nine millimeter is
- 35:02Speaker 1: the same round semi automatic handguns did just a semi
- 35:05Speaker 1: automatic rifle. I will never forget Choice Slayton. The first
- 35:08Speaker 1: time I had to handle an AAR, it was in
- 35:12Speaker 1: a murder and two dopers had meant to shoot another
- 35:15Speaker 1: doper and they did at sniper style at a distance.
- 35:19Speaker 1: That's because that's why they didn't realize who they were shooting.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Was a thirteen year old little boy coming home from
- 35:25Speaker 1: band practice, his nickname Moonbeam, and as he tried to
- 35:30Speaker 1: crawl to his house, he was calling out for his
- 35:33Speaker 1: mother when he died. And I remember holding that AAR
- 35:39Speaker 1: in court and it looked like somebody had spray painted
- 35:43Speaker 1: it Matt black, a dull black, and I swear it
- 35:48Speaker 1: looked like it came straight out of the gates a hill.
- 35:51Speaker 1: That's what an AR looks like to me. You ever
- 35:54Speaker 1: had to deal with one of those in court, slave,
- 35:55Speaker 1: I actually have and although they may look scary to
- 36:00Speaker 1: somebody that's not experienced handling guns, they are the most
- 36:04Speaker 1: common rightful in the United States. Okay, I guess that
- 36:09Speaker 1: makes it okay the diapers and kidnappers used them more often.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Thanks Joy for that inside information. Guys, what was the
- 36:17Speaker 1: whole purpose of this kidnapping? Take a listen to our
- 36:21Speaker 1: cut seven ABC. According to court documents, Beecher was looking
- 36:24Speaker 1: for Bloomberg's daughters and wanted to quote make an international scene,
- 36:28Speaker 1: the victim told authorities. Beecher rammed his truck through Bloomberg
- 36:31Speaker 1: Ranch's security gate and forced her to leave with him.
- 36:34Speaker 1: She says she was forced to withdraw money from an ATM.
- 36:37Speaker 1: While taking that money out, she mailed the words helped me,
- 36:40Speaker 1: hoping it would be recorded by the machine surveillance camera.
- 36:43Speaker 1: The victim safe and returned to her family. She remained calm.
- 36:47Speaker 1: She tried to be friendly, and so if you can
- 36:50Speaker 1: do those two things not agitate a kidnapper, you any
- 36:54Speaker 1: increase your odds of staying alive. Authorities Saint Bloomberg was
- 36:58Speaker 1: not at the ranch during the kid apping. Overnight a
- 37:01Speaker 1: spokesperson for Bloomberg telling ABC News were deeply grateful to
- 37:05Speaker 1: the Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office for their swift and
- 37:08Speaker 1: heroic action in this case. No word from an investigators
- 37:11Speaker 1: so far and why Beecher was trying to cause what
- 37:13Speaker 1: he called an international incident. But he is in custody
- 37:17Speaker 1: now and facing serious federal charges. Okay, data shrink pronto.
- 37:22Speaker 1: The victim in this case, Amanda Editor tells the FBI
- 37:28Speaker 1: demanded She's sleeping bed next to him, with her head
- 37:31Speaker 1: on his chest, her arm around his middle, and his leg,
- 37:38Speaker 1: her leg over his What is that you wanted to spoon?
- 37:43Speaker 1: I think that this is going to sound strange. He
- 37:47Speaker 1: was not from you. Nothing strange, Doctor Bethany, go ahead.
- 37:50Speaker 1: He was trying to steal another person's life, not just
- 37:54Speaker 1: their money. By that, I mean, remember she did he didn't.
- 37:58Speaker 1: He rob his employee before he left the place where
- 38:01Speaker 1: he lived. He broke through the gate to the compound.
- 38:04Speaker 1: He smack up behind her with an AK forty seven
- 38:07Speaker 1: while she was working, told her, I'm going to blow
- 38:09Speaker 1: your effing face off, brings her to the motel, wants
- 38:13Speaker 1: to snuggle with her like she is his wife. Or girlfriend.
- 38:17Speaker 1: I think in some ways he wanted to be Bloomberg.
- 38:20Speaker 1: He wanted to have Bloomberg's life, he wanted to have
- 38:22Speaker 1: Bloomberg's money, he wanted to have Bloomberg's daughters. I know
- 38:27Speaker 1: you guys are thinking about this as being financially motivated.
- 38:30Speaker 1: I see it as stocking, where you want to be
- 38:33Speaker 1: the other person. You want to merge into them. You
- 38:35Speaker 1: want to have something they have. And if he couldn't
- 38:38Speaker 1: have the daughters, Michael Bloomberg's daughters, well I'll have the housekeeper.
- 38:43Speaker 1: She I've looked at pictures of her. She's an attractive,
- 38:45Speaker 1: middle aged woman, and I'm going to get her to
- 38:48Speaker 1: snuggle in bed with me at night. As if he
- 38:51Speaker 1: is now Bloomberg, adopting his life, his customs, his housekeeper
- 38:55Speaker 1: and Anthea. I want to say something about this house.
- 38:58Speaker 1: You know, the listeners might think of this as, oh,
- 39:01Speaker 1: it's this sprawling, you know, nineteen thousand square foot house
- 39:05Speaker 1: and nobody is there. These places are like hotels. You know.
- 39:09Speaker 1: She was the head housekeeper, which means that she has
- 39:13Speaker 1: dozens of housekeepers working underneath her. This house is probably
- 39:17Speaker 1: fairly well staffed. There are people coming in and out.
- 39:21Speaker 1: So that makes this much more even more of a
- 39:23Speaker 1: brazen act. But I think in some way he wanted
- 39:27Speaker 1: to experiment with what it was like to be Bloomberg,
- 39:30Speaker 1: and he forced her to be like a companion to
- 39:32Speaker 1: him of sorts. I didn't say that coming doctor Bethany.
- 39:36Speaker 1: As usual, guys, a little bit more, we're learning about
- 39:41Speaker 1: what the said. Take a listen to Art cut Hey,
- 39:44Speaker 1: this is Steve Steger nineties Colorado and ARRESTAFFI David says
- 39:48Speaker 1: that he asked for Bloomberg's daughters before kidnapping an employee
- 39:52Speaker 1: at gunpoint. On Wednesday. Joseph Beecher was arrested in a
- 39:55Speaker 1: motel in Wyoming with the woman the next morning. Yeff
- 39:59Speaker 1: David says investigate found them by tracking the woman's iPad.
- 40:02Speaker 1: The woman wasn't hurt, but she told police Beecher kissed
- 40:05Speaker 1: her and told her if she was a man, she
- 40:08Speaker 1: would be dead. At one point, she says that they
- 40:11Speaker 1: stopped in the Metro area to pull money out of
- 40:13Speaker 1: an ATM. The woman told investigator she mouthed the words
- 40:16Speaker 1: help me, hoping that someone would notice on a security camera.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office says that Beecher had no
- 40:23Speaker 1: connection to the Bloomberg's or this woman. Beecher is facing
- 40:27Speaker 1: federal kidnapping charges. To Tom Pachierry, America's Lady Personal Safety Expert,
- 40:31Speaker 1: author Personal Protection Handbook, Tom, of course we're not at
- 40:36Speaker 1: Bloomberg's level with all of his literally billions of dollars.
- 40:40Speaker 1: But we go walking, we go jogging, we take our
- 40:44Speaker 1: children to the grocery store. We have to go in
- 40:47Speaker 1: and out of malls or gas stations. We're home. Some
- 40:51Speaker 1: people forget to turn all their alarm or the locking
- 40:54Speaker 1: their doors when their home. I've had kidnappings that have
- 40:59Speaker 1: covered them and the investigate them that take place in
- 41:02Speaker 1: their front yard. What can people do, tape Teera to
- 41:07Speaker 1: avoid exactly this. Well, one of the key things is
- 41:10Speaker 1: we have to learn to increase our protective veil. And
- 41:14Speaker 1: what that means is, you know, our awareness queues number
- 41:17Speaker 1: one when we're out in public and things stay off
- 41:20Speaker 1: the cell phones. I mean, the cell phones are the
- 41:21Speaker 1: biggest distraction things out there. While you're talking, somebody's listening
- 41:26Speaker 1: or somebody's looking. You know. The other thing is change
- 41:29Speaker 1: your routine. You know, if you go pick up the
- 41:31Speaker 1: mail every day at nine oh five, you know, change that,
- 41:33Speaker 1: change the route that you go to work, and things
- 41:36Speaker 1: like that don't have a pattern for somebody that's looking
- 41:39Speaker 1: to know where the vulnerability is. You know. The third
- 41:43Speaker 1: thing is is always check and balance, you know, always
- 41:45Speaker 1: let people know where you are when you are. The
- 41:48Speaker 1: problem is here we get complacent in life, and we
- 41:51Speaker 1: all do, and then random things happen to us. I
- 41:54Speaker 1: mean on the celebrity editored executive that I have to
- 41:57Speaker 1: say this about the Bloomberg incident. I'm surprised that they
- 42:01Speaker 1: didn't have an impact alarm on the gate itself, that
- 42:04Speaker 1: when the impact hit the gate, that didn't go directly
- 42:07Speaker 1: to the police station to know that. You know, the
- 42:10Speaker 1: gate was destroyed. Something drawing at this house. You know,
- 42:13Speaker 1: because a lot of things that we do at celebrities
- 42:15Speaker 1: because they have money or VIPs is different than what
- 42:18Speaker 1: we do for everyday people. Impact alarm, I've never heard
- 42:21Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, it's actually designed into the gate. Oh,
- 42:24Speaker 1: Liza's tersha. Where does the case I guess Joseph Bischer
- 42:28Speaker 1: rot in Heale, where does it stand right now? Well,
- 42:31Speaker 1: he is in jail and they are going to they've
- 42:34Speaker 1: charged him with kidnapping, but There also will probably be
- 42:36Speaker 1: charges from as doctor Rethney Marshall had said, earlier, he
- 42:40Speaker 1: robbed his employer. He was working at a hotel, and
- 42:43Speaker 1: earlier he robbed his employer, and that's where he got
- 42:47Speaker 1: the gun, and so he broke into their house, he's claiming,
- 42:53Speaker 1: or well, the housekeeper told the FBI that he confessed
- 42:57Speaker 1: to heart that he broke into his employer's home, got
- 43:00Speaker 1: in a fight, and that's where he stole the guy.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Troy Slat and I see a lot more charges coming
- 43:04Speaker 1: down the pipe, for instance, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,
- 43:08Speaker 1: putting a machine gun in her face, kidnapping, the armed
- 43:12Speaker 1: robbery of the boss, well, the robbery of the boss
- 43:15Speaker 1: of the weapon. There's a lot going on here for
- 43:20Speaker 1: the prosecutors to use in charging. And if those charges
- 43:24Speaker 1: are stacked consecutively like twenty plus twenty plus twenty, he's
- 43:30Speaker 1: looking at life behind bars. He is, and once the
- 43:33Speaker 1: federal government is done with him, he's facing local charges
- 43:37Speaker 1: in each one of the jurisdictions where he committed a crime.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Just barreling through the gate at the Bloomberg estate. That's
- 43:45Speaker 1: breaking entering and burglary. It's breaking into the dwelling house
- 43:49Speaker 1: of another with the intent to commit a felony. They're
- 43:52Speaker 1: in the definition of burglary. We wait as justice unfalls.
