- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime a art hourly update and breaking crime news. Now,
- 0:04Speaker 1: I'm Jennifer Gould. In a chillingly bizarre scene, a twenty
- 0:08Speaker 1: eight year old teacher wanted for the brutal double murder
- 0:12Speaker 1: of a couple hiking with their young daughters, was calmly
- 0:16Speaker 1: arrested mid haircut, ending a frantic five day manhunt. James
- 0:21Speaker 1: Andrew McGahn, a seemingly unassuming educator, now faces two counts
- 0:26Speaker 1: of capital murder and possibly the death penalty in a
- 0:30Speaker 1: crime that has left Arkansas utterly shattered. Arkansas Governor Sarah
- 0:35Speaker 1: Huckabee Sanders praised the tireless efforts of investigators. Here she
- 0:40Speaker 1: is at the news conference.
- 0:42Speaker 2: You commit a violent, senseless act here in our state,
- 0:48Speaker 2: our law enforcement will hunt you down and bring you
- 0:51Speaker 2: to justice.
- 0:53Speaker 1: The horror unfolded on July twenty sixth at Devil's Den
- 0:56Speaker 1: State Park, a scenic Ozark Mountains retreat. Clinton David Bring,
- 1:02Speaker 1: forty three, and Kristin Amanda Bring, forty one, who had
- 1:06Speaker 1: just moved to Prairie Grove from South Dakota, were enjoying
- 1:10Speaker 1: a hike with their daughters, ages seven and nine, when
- 1:13Speaker 1: they were mercilessly stabbed to death. Clinton, a milk delivery driver,
- 1:18Speaker 1: was set to start his new job just two days
- 1:21Speaker 1: after the attack. Kristin was a licensed nurse. The children,
- 1:26Speaker 1: miraculously unharmed, witnessed the butchering of their mom and dad,
- 1:30Speaker 1: who shielded their two daughters from the slaughter. The remote parks,
- 1:34Speaker 1: rugged terrain, and lack of cell phone service initially complicated
- 1:38Speaker 1: the police response, delaying public alerts for hours after the
- 1:43Speaker 1: two forty pm attack was reported. Police scanner audio captured
- 1:48Speaker 1: the tragic reality.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Thank you for free here.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Still calling for help.
- 1:53Speaker 2: We're hiking down. Try to relate to the author. So
- 1:56Speaker 2: we found the victims down here. They're on the lower
- 1:58Speaker 2: Devil's In trail. Just a couple of minutes. I think,
- 2:01Speaker 2: I see you're right there. I've got two, the two
- 2:03Speaker 2: bodies down here.
- 2:04Speaker 1: A massive manhunt, aided by FBI resources ensued. Investigators released
- 2:10Speaker 1: a composite sketch and a photo of a suspect described
- 2:15Speaker 1: as a white male in a dark ball capped sunglasses
- 2:19Speaker 1: and fingerless gloves, seen fleeing in a black sedan, possibly
- 2:23Speaker 1: a Mazda, with a taped over license plate. Police also
- 2:28Speaker 1: noted that the killer was likely injured during the attack.
- 2:31Speaker 1: An overwhelming number of public tips, coupled with instrumental video footage,
- 2:36Speaker 1: led police to McGann five days after the killings. On
- 2:40Speaker 1: July thirtieth, at four point fifty seven pm, authorities found
- 2:44Speaker 1: their man, not hiding in the wilderness, but at Loupeda's
- 2:49Speaker 1: beauty salon and barber shop in Springdale. Investigator's photographed hair
- 2:54Speaker 1: on the floor and seized his black Sedan, matching descriptions
- 2:58Speaker 1: from the crime scene. McGann, who had recently moved from
- 3:02Speaker 1: Oklahoma for a teaching job with Springdale Public Schools but
- 3:06Speaker 1: had not started his role, previously taught fifth grade at
- 3:10Speaker 1: Spring Creek Elementary in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. While he passed
- 3:15Speaker 1: required background checks and left his previous job quote of
- 3:19Speaker 1: his own accord end quote. There have been no reported
- 3:23Speaker 1: prior disciplinary issues with him. The motive for this heinous
- 3:27Speaker 1: crime remains a mystery. McGann is being held at Washington
- 3:30Speaker 1: County Jail with a pre trialed attention hearing set for
- 3:34Speaker 1: August fourth. The two daughters are now safely with relatives.
- 3:38Speaker 1: More crime and Justice news. After this, I'm Nicole Parton.
- 3:47Speaker 4: The attorneys representing Sean diddy Combe submitted a motion to
- 3:51Speaker 4: the US District Court for the Southern District of New York,
- 3:55Speaker 4: requesting that his conviction from earlier this month be overturned or,
- 4:00Speaker 4: at the very least, that he be granted a new trial.
- 4:03Speaker 4: The sixty two page motion contends that the man Act
- 4:07Speaker 4: under which Colmbs was found guilty on July two of
- 4:10Speaker 4: two counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution, was misapplied
- 4:15Speaker 4: in Colmb's case. The legal team asserts that there was
- 4:18Speaker 4: a lack of sufficient evidence to prove that Colmbs transported
- 4:22Speaker 4: anyone with the intention of engaging in prostitution, even if
- 4:27Speaker 4: it includes any exchange of sex for money. The motion
- 4:31Speaker 4: emphasizes that the term quote any is significant in this context. Additionally,
- 4:37Speaker 4: the defense argues that the man Act does not criminalize
- 4:40Speaker 4: Colmb's actions because he had no commercial intent and did
- 4:45Speaker 4: not mean for the paid escorts to engage in sexual
- 4:48Speaker 4: acts with him, with the emphasis on did not intend
- 4:52Speaker 4: included in the motion. Furthermore, the filing claims that maintaining
- 4:57Speaker 4: the convictions would infringe upon First Amendments rights, as compensating
- 5:02Speaker 4: individuals for filming sexual performances is deemed protected First Amendment activity.
- 5:09Speaker 4: The motion states quote at the very least, a new
- 5:12Speaker 4: trial is warranted due to prejudicial spillover from evidence that
- 5:17Speaker 4: would have been inadmissible had the man Act charges been
- 5:21Speaker 4: tried separately. This refers to the introduction of evidence meant
- 5:25Speaker 4: to support the two sex trafficking counts and one racketeering
- 5:30Speaker 4: conspiracy charge for which Combs was acquitted, which was described
- 5:35Speaker 4: as inflammatory and irrelevant to the man Act offenses. During
- 5:39Speaker 4: the trial, the jury cleared Combs of two sex trafficking
- 5:43Speaker 4: charges and the more severe racketeering conspiracy charge. The evidence
- 5:48Speaker 4: presented over six weeks included testimonies describing how Comb's allegedly
- 5:53Speaker 4: hired male escorts for drug fueled sexual encounters involving at
- 5:58Speaker 4: least two women, one of whom was his ex girlfriend,
- 6:01Speaker 4: Cassie Ventira, while the other testified as the name Jane,
- 6:06Speaker 4: during which Combs reportedly observed and recorded the encounters. No
- 6:10Speaker 4: evidence was provided indicating that Combs actively participated in these sessions,
- 6:16Speaker 4: referred to as freak offs. The motion filed on Wednesday
- 6:19Speaker 4: follows another request from Combe's legal team the previous day,
- 6:23Speaker 4: seeking to have him released on bail while awaiting sentencing
- 6:28Speaker 4: on October three. The request suggests that he posts a
- 6:31Speaker 4: fifty million dollar bond and stay at his Miami residence
- 6:35Speaker 4: during this period. The defense's bail motion underscored that quote.
- 6:39Speaker 4: There has never been a case like this where a
- 6:42Speaker 4: person and his girlfriend organized consensual sexual encounters with adult
- 6:48Speaker 4: men as part of their established swinger's lifestyle and faced
- 6:52Speaker 4: prosecution under the Man Act. They argued, Shaan Combe should
- 6:56Speaker 4: not be incarcerated for such conduct. They continue. On the
- 7:00Speaker 4: same day Colmbs was convicted, Judge Aaron Submarinean, who presided
- 7:05Speaker 4: over the trial, denied the request for bail prior to sentencing,
- 7:09Speaker 4: citing a provision in the law relating to transportation for
- 7:13Speaker 4: prostitution that suggested detaining him is warranted.
- 7:19Speaker 5: I'm Drew Nelson. Three young girls are detained in San
- 7:21Speaker 5: Francisco for a string of unprovoked attacks that left at
- 7:25Speaker 5: least two people injured in a possible hate crime.
- 7:27Speaker 6: You can kind of see at a targeting Asian woman.
- 7:32Speaker 6: I don't know for what ever, Louisa.
- 7:34Speaker 5: That's the mom of one of the victims on KNTV.
- 7:37Speaker 5: San Francisco police arrested the three girls, ages eleven, thirteen,
- 7:41Speaker 5: and fourteen over the weekend. There are suspects and five
- 7:44Speaker 5: assaults across the city during July. The most recent happened
- 7:48Speaker 5: Saturday afternoon on Fourth Street near Mission. Two people were
- 7:52Speaker 5: attacked by a group of girls. My standers stepped in.
- 7:55Speaker 5: The suspects ran, here's a witness who has to remain
- 7:57Speaker 5: anonymous and have their voice disguised.
- 8:00Speaker 3: People pulling a girl's hair and then punches and kicks
- 8:05Speaker 3: on her, and then I quickly saw blood. I saw
- 8:09Speaker 3: the attackers shift to a second victim.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Officers use surveillance video from that scene to identify the girls.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Plain closed. Police later found them at Stone'stown Galerya about
- 8:20Speaker 5: ten miles away. The thirteen and fourteen year old girls
- 8:23Speaker 5: were arrested on suspicion of assault likely to cause great
- 8:25Speaker 5: bodily harm. They were cited and released to their parents.
- 8:29Speaker 5: The eleven year old was detained, warned and also released
- 8:32Speaker 5: to her parents.
- 8:33Speaker 1: We are looking into a hate aspect at this time.
- 8:37Speaker 1: There is no.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Evidence SFPD spokesman Robert Rueika on KNTV. He says the
- 8:42Speaker 5: attacks were unprovoked. Interim police Chief Paul Yepp says, quote,
- 8:46Speaker 5: violent attacks like these will never be tolerated. I am
- 8:49Speaker 5: extremely disappointed in the actions of these individuals and they
- 8:53Speaker 5: will be held accountable. The investigation remains open. Officers are
- 8:56Speaker 5: still searching for more suspects. Anyone with information as hers
- 9:00Speaker 5: to contact SFPD at four one five five seventy five
- 9:04Speaker 5: four forty four or text tip four one one with
- 9:07Speaker 5: a message starting with SFPD.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I'm Jennifer Gould.
- 9:12Speaker 6: The US Navy's elite Blue Angels are in an unconventional dogfight,
- 9:17Speaker 6: not against enemy pilots, but with a grieving Seattle woman
- 9:22Speaker 6: who says their sonic assault tragically broke.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Her cat's heart. Lauren An Lombardi is launching a legal
- 9:30Speaker 1: strike against the squadron, claiming their roaring jets turned her
- 9:34Speaker 1: fourteen year old feline's final days into a battlefield of
- 9:38Speaker 1: noise and fear. Lombardi spoke to ninety seven point three
- 9:42Speaker 1: Cairo News Radio.
- 9:43Speaker 2: She only reacted that way to the lou Angels because
- 9:46Speaker 2: I mean, if you haven't experienced the Blue Angels flying
- 9:49Speaker 2: over your house like I mean, it would rattle our house.
- 9:51Speaker 4: They fly over here, Yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Every loud Layla, a cat already weakened by congestive heart failure,
- 9:59Speaker 1: was a helpless casualty caught in the crossfire. According to
- 10:02Speaker 1: the newly filed federal lawsuit, the Blue Angels FA eighteen
- 10:07Speaker 1: super hornets thundering overhead at seven hundred miles per hour
- 10:11Speaker 1: during the twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four Seafare
- 10:15Speaker 1: air shows were the final blow. Lombardi says her home
- 10:19Speaker 1: became a war zone, with Layla cowering in terror, her
- 10:24Speaker 1: heart rate spiking dangerously despite sedation. The pet parent fought
- 10:29Speaker 1: back with blankets and by covering her cat's ears, but
- 10:33Speaker 1: nothing could muffle the deafening barrage. Layla was euthanized after
- 10:38Speaker 1: a week long stay at a specialty hospital. The lawsuit
- 10:42Speaker 1: does not blame the Navy for her death, but alleges
- 10:45Speaker 1: their sonic assault robbed her of a peaceful goodbye. In
- 10:49Speaker 1: Lombardi's ideal world, the air show would be nixed and
- 10:53Speaker 1: replaced with something like a laser light show, but she
- 10:56Speaker 1: acknowledged that eliminating the seven decade tradition and would be unrealistic.
- 11:01Speaker 1: The battle has also raged on a second front, social media.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Lombardi alleges the Blue Angels violated her First Amendment rights
- 11:10Speaker 1: by blocking her on Instagram after she fired off an
- 11:15Speaker 1: expletive laden critique and a petition titled quote we all
- 11:19Speaker 1: want to feel safe. No more Blue Angels over Seattle
- 11:21Speaker 1: end quote, her messages were silenced. The lawsuit demands that
- 11:26Speaker 1: her account be unblocked and that the squadron, including Commander
- 11:30Speaker 1: Adam Bryant, be forced to undergo First Amendment training. This
- 11:35Speaker 1: small scale war has a much larger backdrop, with a
- 11:39Speaker 1: twenty twenty four University of Washington study sided in the complaint,
- 11:43Speaker 1: which notes the noise is a health risk for more
- 11:47Speaker 1: than seventy four thousand Puget Sound residents and endangering marine life.
- 11:52Speaker 1: The Blue Angels, a powerful and silent opponent in this
- 11:56Speaker 1: legal battle, have declined to comment on the pending. For
