1 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: A man has been shot and killed for entering Mary 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: Lago early Sunday morning with a shotgun. Who is he? 3 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: What did he want? 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: What is his online profile? What can we learn from him? 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: I've got just the man to reveal everything. Travis Hawley, 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: former Air Force intelligence now open source intelligence expert. It's 7 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: so great to have you back on the Aaron mollinchey, 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. 9 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: Thank you for having me again. 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: When I heard about what happened at Mary Lago, a 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: young man shot dead, his name Austin Tucker Martin, I 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: thought there's only one place to go to see what 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: we can find out about this young man, his online footprint. 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: I know these are really big challenges, particularly once a 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: crime occurs. Please get in there pretty quickly. But what 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: can you tell us about this young man? And how 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: does it generally work with law enforcement when something like 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: this happens. What do they do with the online space 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: as well? Are they trying to preserve things trying to 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: take things down? It's a fascinating conversation. 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 2: Yeah. So, actually there's sort of a race every time 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: an unfortunate incident like this happens. You know, I typically 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 2: jump in depending on my availability terrorist attacks, whether it 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: was you know, the one in Australia or it's the 25 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: multitude of ones that have happened here in the US. 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 2: You know, people who you know, journalists and people who 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 2: do open source intelligence more formally like myself. It's definitely 28 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: a race to see if what evidence we can find 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: in their digital footprint before law enforcement, you know, send 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: some type of request to social media to take it down. 31 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Some people are like, why do they take it down, 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: Like that's for the public's consumption. Well, to some degree, 33 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: they want to preserve whatever's evidence is there without people 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: going in and spamming it or hacking it or just 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: you know, leaving it up publicly can can can cause 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: some issues. So yes, I jumped in on this just 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: once we had the name to see if we could 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: find anything. You know, it really ranges some people. We 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: find a lot on, particularly people who are older. And 40 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: what I mean by older is let's say thirty or older. 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: But people in their twenties and teens, they tend to 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: have smaller digital footprints, which may sound counterintuitive, but that's 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: just because the way they use social social media and 44 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: online is a little bit different and they just don't 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: have history. So I did jump in and try to 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: find what I could, and I didn't find a lot 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: on him, but I did find some things, like, for example, 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: he has his own art website, seems to be a 49 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: decent artist. He makes like these farm pictures and country pictures, 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: which may make sense because he lives with his family 51 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: outside Fayetteville, North Carolina, and that's a very country area. 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: I pulled it up on Google as well on his 53 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: actual home address, and he lives like out in the 54 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: middle of nowhere, I'll be honest with you, very farm 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: country type of towns. I was able to find a 56 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: couple other interesting things, nothing, i'll be honest, nothing super 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: suspicious at this point, or red flags which I typically 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: do find in retrospect, Like I saw that he opened 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: up an account for the Bible app and that was 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: March twelfth of last year. You know, look, there's a 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: lot of a lot of assumptions or assessments we can 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: make based on that. He may be a newly Christian, 63 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: or he may be getting more into his faith, or 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: it could be a coincidence that he downloaded this app. 65 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: But he opened up his art website last year as well, 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: so definitely a couple, you know, milestones to some degree 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: in his life last year, potentially getting more into religion, 68 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: getting more into art, and trying to sell his art. 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: I see that he has a Wix web page, which 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: our account, which would make sense for building his own website, 71 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: which he did PayPal, Facebook, Twitter identified in an active 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: Instagram doesn't mean he doesn't have one, but look, if 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: it's anonymous or under a pseudonym, it could take a 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: lot more time to find, maybe even a little bit 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: of luck. Something else interesting to understand about, maybe the 76 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: digital footprint of the family is we're able to find. 77 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: And depending on how you edit this, you can show 78 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: the image if you want. His mother actually posted it 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: on Facebook like a missing person poster of him this morning. 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: As I understand it, he was reported missing within the 81 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: last couple of days or even yesterday, and his mother 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: still has that post up. And interestingly, on that post, 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: his name is actually sort of inverted. His name is 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: Tucker Austin Martin, and I think maybe because he goes 85 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: by his middle name to some people. Another thing that's 86 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: just really sad. A couple other points I want to 87 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: make about kind of the digital footprint of people who 88 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: are criminals or are killed. Is when I looked into 89 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: the comments section of the post on his mother's Facebook, 90 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: there's just really mean people and they're saying really mean stuff. 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: And this is why the families typically also eventually pulled 92 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: down their own social media as well. People in there 93 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: are saying some really horrible things like you know, well 94 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: we found him, and you know, other sarcastic type of 95 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: comments like that. Another thing that's sad and interesting about 96 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: this family is there's three siblings. There's two brothers they 97 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: look to be maybe the same age or twins, I'm 98 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: not entirely sure, and a sister and the sisters a 99 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: couple of years older. And that sister was killed in 100 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 2: a car wreck two years ago at the age of 101 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: twenty one. So now this family is dealing with two 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: killed children, and the other son I think is in 103 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: the army, the US Army right now. So I'll stop 104 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: there at want one for a while. 105 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thank you, And that I mean, there's actually 106 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: a lot there that you found. And I would make 107 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: the point as well. I mean, law enforcement, gosh, they've 108 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: got a tough job, particularly at the moment everything is 109 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: so heightened with assassination attempts with a potential war with Iran. 110 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: We know they've got proxies on the ground in the US, 111 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: they've got bounties out of the President's head. They have 112 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: to take every single thing. This I say, kid, this 113 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: young man had a rifle and he was trying to 114 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: breach the perimeter at mar Lago. The interesting aspect of 115 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: he did exactly. The interesting aspect of this is the 116 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Trumps clearly went there and look anyone you can google 117 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 1: that it was. They write a function in Washington, DC. 118 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Whether or not, you know, he would have had to 119 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: have known that he would lose his life doing this 120 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: with a rifle, breaching the president's home, even the current climate, 121 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, is this some kind of you know. 122 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: Clearly actually was. It was a shotgun not a rifle, which. 123 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: Is a tell us the difference between that for those 124 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: of us who aren't that savvy with you know. 125 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so a rifle you're going to think about potentially 126 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: hunting or potentially something related to the military. So let's 127 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: just say killing, uh something from a medium to long range. 128 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: Whereas a shotgun doesn't shoot bullets, is shotes pellets. These 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: types of cartridges that shoot a barrage of type of pellets. 130 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: And the reason why that's importance is a shotgun or 131 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: something you use in short range, you know, home defense's 132 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: not like a sniper that looking yeah, correct, correct, So 133 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: that's again that's another very important piece of evidence that 134 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: can suggest motive or maybe just access to weapons. You know, 135 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: clearly he's not looking to, like you said, snipe or 136 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: take someone out from a distance. That would be used 137 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: at a very close range. We're talking five to ten 138 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: meters maybe, I mean maybe much less actually than that 139 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 2: to be accurate and actually hurt someone. And actually another 140 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: point connection between the Iran thing you mentioned is actually 141 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: during the massacres on what January eighth and ninth, I 142 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: believe in Iran, a lot of the security forces there 143 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: used shotguns against protesters. And why that's important is there's 144 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: some really gruesome images of protesters and very young ones 145 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: with pellets all in their skin, across their chest, their backs, 146 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: their faces. And why I bring that up is because 147 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: it's quite easy to survive from a shotgun blast if 148 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: you're a few feet back, but if you're really close 149 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: obviously you won't. So anyways, I think that is important. 150 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Because Travis, thank you, I really appreciate you jumping in 151 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: because that is it's so relevant and it's so important. 152 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: And again for people, you know, my dad was in 153 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: the army, but from I'm not a hunter. I've never 154 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: been in any kind of law enforcement. That information I 155 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: don't know, and that is so relevant. So I thank 156 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: you for jumping in and sharing that with my audience, 157 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: some of whom will of course know that, but some 158 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: of whom will not. You are amazing. Thank you so 159 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: much for helping us out on this one and for 160 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: giving us a bit of a picture. And of course 161 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: anyone who wants your services privately can also use you 162 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: as well in that capacity. You do private things all 163 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: the time. 164 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: You help people. 165 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: They can clean up their own online space, or you 166 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: can help keep people safe online as well. It's Travis 167 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: Hawley in its talk to Trav on Instagram as well. 168 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: You can message him there. But Travis, thank you. You 169 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: are brilliant, which is why we keep getting you back on. 170 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 171 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: Thanks Erin.
