00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: the top of this hour. This is the fifth day

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: of this really shocking ordeal. Last night, Savannah and her

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: siblings spoke out for the first time, pleading for proof

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: of life and saying tearfully they are ready to talk

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,000

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: sister Annie.

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: Mama, Mama, if you're listening, we need you to come home.

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: Her mom is our heart and our home. She's eighty

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: needs it to survive well.

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: Some supposed ransom notes have been sent to various media outlets.

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Are they real or sick pranks? One Arizona TV news

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: presenter Mary Coleman says her station got one of these

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: messages via email and says she quickly came to the

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: view this might not be a hoax. She says there

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: was very sensitive information, things that people who weren't there

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: when Nancy was taken captive would not know. It also included,

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: she says, a dollar amount and a deadline. Another supposed

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: ransom note was sent to TMZ, the tabloid site online.

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: It is not clear if this included the same message

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: or was from the same source. That note reportedly asked

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: for millions of dollars worth of bitcoin for Nancy's safe return.

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Savannah addressed some of this in her words, we need.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: To know without a doubt that she is alive and

38

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,040

61

Speaker 2: in her marriage, even my ex husband.

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: They need to answer to those things, not me well,

69
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: and I am so happy to be away from all

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: the muck.

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: Or the muck meantime, One of this country's top lawyers,

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: Brad Karp, has just quit his law firm today. In

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: one email, he thanked Epstein for an evening he said

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: he would never forget, writing that it was truly once

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: in a lifetime in every way. While Deepak Chopra, wellness

Speaker 2: his social media sites now and says suggestions that he

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: is in the Epstein files and they had a close

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: association with the text trafficker, show quote, poor judgment in tone.

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: Well Chopra is mentioned more than four thousand times in

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: the latest batch of files, and he met with a

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: convicted sex offender multiple times even after Epstein's two thousand

83
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: and eight conviction In one email, Chopra jokes with the

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: pedophile quote did you find me a cute Israeli? He continued,

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: this is from twenty seventeen quote the universe is a

86
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: human construct. No such thing. Cute girls are aware when

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: they make noise. Epstein replies, So when the girl says,

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: oh my God, Chopra chimes in, God is a construct.

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Cute girls are real. So this from the self proclaimed
