But it's 51 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: all hit the headlines again when a convicted pedophile already 52 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: behind bars, Gary Oliva, said I did it.

Robin, who is Gary Oliva? And why now 62 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: does he jump up and say, oh, yeah, I killed 63 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: John Benet Nancy. Gary Oliva was a guy who lived 64 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: in the area and police had been looking at him. 65 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: He was a guy who was obsessed with little John 66 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: Benet and how beautiful she was and in her little 67 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: outfits with her teased hair. I mean, this was a 68 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: four or five year old girl who looked like, hey, hey, hey, hey, 69 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: hey hey, what's from a fluffy outfits and teased hair. Well, 70 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: apparently he was very into her look and she really 71 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: looked like an adult. And I think that that's why 72 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: we've been talking about this case for so many years. 73 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: When those little videos came out of her and her 74 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: little pageant costumes, she looked so mature. Well, anyway, this 75 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: guy had hundreds of pictures of her, hundreds of pictures 76 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: of her, you know what, as weird as it may be, weird, 77 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: but true to Bobby Brown, Colorado private investigator. They're sadly 78 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: are probably thousands of creepy, lonely guys across the country 79 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: that have hundreds of pictures of John bin A Ramsey. 80 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to have to report that, but he's I mean, 81 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, they're a dime a dozen pedophiles with obsessions 82 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: on particular little girls, I mean, and John benay Is 83 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: turned out to be fodder for pedophiles all across the country. 84 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: How many millions of times do you think Bobby Brown 85 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: videos of her dancing and singing at the pageants completely 86 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: innocently have been exchanged. That's their stock in trade. That's 87 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: what they live for us to get another video of 88 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: a little girl. That's that's totally true. And it's been 89 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: shown a god doing those tens and tens of thousands 90 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: of times. You asked, who believes I believe that? Uh 91 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: that you know, and and and when we started, it's 92 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: like it almost sounded like that Gary e'll leevis just 93 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: now had this idea, Well, I'm going to confess to 94 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: John Benett. He has confessed two three different times over 95 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: the years, and uh, he actually became a suspect. I 96 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: was working at that time. I was working on a 97 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: private team with Lusement, Charlie he Peas and I and 98 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: one morning Luke Smith asked me to meet with him 99 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: at a restaurant that we always met at. I did 100 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: was in September of two thousand and seven, and at 101 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: that time lou explained to me, this is when the 102 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: name Gary Oliva became, you know, part of my Spark 103 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: money answers with me as a very well known Colorado 104 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: private investigator, Bobby Brown, very familiar with the John Banay investigation. 105 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: So if this guy Gary Oliva raises his hand and 106 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: said I killed John Benay, he might as well get 107 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: in line. Listen. I've contact to the Ramsey family, but 108 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: especially before Patricia passed away, and I can paid to 109 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: her many things, among them that I am so very 110 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: sorry for what happened to Jean Manet. And it's very 111 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: important for me that everyone knows that I love for 112 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: very much and that her death was unintentional and it 113 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: was an accident. And um I made several efforts to 114 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: communicate with Patricia before she passed away, and I my 115 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: understanding that that she did read my letters and she 116 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: was aware of me before she passed away. What happened 117 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: in the basement. Um, that's it would take several hours 118 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: to describe it, to describe that if you could be brief. Uh, 119 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: there's no way that I could be brief about There's 120 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: no way I can remember about it. But it's it's 121 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: it's a very involved um series of apens would require 122 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: a lot of time, and I, uh, I can't. I 123 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to to say something briefly about it because 124 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: if you would not. First of all, it's very painful 125 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: for me to talk about the only thing that I 126 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: can say is, it's not what it seems to be everyway. 127 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: It's not people, not at all what it seems an 128 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: absolutely not. Cheryl McCollum, director of the Cold Case Research Institute. 129 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: You've been on every kind of crime scene known to man. 130 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: In fact, you claim that's where we first met. I 131 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: claim we met in court. But okay, I guess two 132 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: honest people can disagree. So Cheryl McCollum, please did you 133 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: hear him say, oh, this can't be quick, because my 134 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: story of how I accidentally killed John Benny Ramsey needs 135 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: a lot of time, translation, a lot of attention on 136 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: me in front of the microphone, in front of the camera, 137 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: with everybody clicking their their photos. What a load of BS? Now, Cheryl, 138 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: you are a crime scene investigator. Extraordinary, Now that's a legal, technical, 139 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: legal term, load of b asked or I need to 140 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: explain that to you. Let me tell you it ain't Latin. No, 141 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: it is a load of BS. And I'll tell you 142 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: I'm going to explain why it's a load of BS. 143 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: I have been on thousands of crime scenes and anthy 144 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 1: and when something is an accident, that scene can absolutely 145 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: be staged. But I have not seen where a stranger 146 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: makes an accident looks worse. So here's what he wants 147 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: us to believe. Johnny slipped and hit her head and died. 148 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: So he doesn't admit to killing her. He said she flipped. 149 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: He doesn't talk about the strangulation. He doesn't talk about 150 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: the sexual assault. He doesn't talk about whether or not 151 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: there was a taser involved with this child. He doesn't 152 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: talk about anything but an accident. It was an accident 153 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: breaking into the house. It wasn't an accident, you know, 154 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: taking her from her bedroom on the third floor and 155 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: finding a lost room in a basement and a house 156 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: she's supposedly never been in. How in the world did 157 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: this man write a three page ransom note? Asked her. 158 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: She accidentally dies, so he ain't hurry to get out 159 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: of that house, which is also croup, but he stays 160 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: there and writes this ransom note. And he just happens 161 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: to be ether to write exactly like her mama, to 162 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: the point that FBI can't rule the mama out, which 163 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: is another reason I do not believe Gary Oliva, and 164 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: I didn't believe John Mark Carr, also known as Captain 165 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: Underpants at the time. I can't recall why, but I 166 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: think both of them are lying and capitalizing on the 167 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: death of a little girl. John Vane completely changed me 168 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: and removed all evil from me. Just one look at 169 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: her beautiful face, her glowing, beautiful skin, and her divine 170 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: God body. I lit her slip and her head bashed 171 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: in half, and I watched her die. It was an accident. 172 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: I believe in my heart of hearts that these are 173 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: confessional letters. He told me that if he had the chance, 174 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: he would have eaten John Benet Oliva also made these 175 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: chilling drawings of the kindergartener. The fifty four year old 176 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: has a history of sexually abusing miners. He's currently serving 177 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: a ten year sentence in Colorado for possessing child pornography. 178 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: Oliva isn't the first to confess to killing little John Bennet. 179 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: In two thousand and six, John Mark Carr confessed to 180 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: her murder Die accidentally, Carr, who was cleared of all charges. 181 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: As for Oliva, although he has confessed to the crime, 182 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: investigators are not convinced he did it. Oliva is eligible 183 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: for parole in twenty twenty, but Vale, a writer and 184 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: publicist who lives in California, says his former friend needs 185 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: to stay behind bars. The day he walks free is 186 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: the day that I will be terrified for every child 187 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: within hundreds of miles of him, because he is not 188 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: safe to be out of society. The police department in Boulder, 189 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Colorado has come under heavy criticism for not bringing John 190 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: Benet's killer to justice, even admitting that crime scene evidence 191 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: may have been mishandled. You're hearing our friend Jesse Palmer 192 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: at Delhi Mail TV and part of this guy, Gary 193 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: Oliva's letter being read about this little girl's god body 194 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: and her beauty and her purity, later saying he wanted 195 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: to eat her. Okay, twenty twenty, well, that's certainly a 196 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: year we can all look forward to the year that 197 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: this guy will make parole. Troice Layton joining me along 198 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: with Cheryl McCollum, Bobby Brown, doctor Michelle Dupree, and Robin Willinsky. Troy, 199 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: you're the famous LA defense attorney. Why with this guy, 200 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: Gary Eliva festering behind bars make this confession because he 201 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: won attention, Because just like the other people who have 202 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: confessed to this crime but proved to not be the murderer, 203 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: done it for exactly what you said, they want, they're 204 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: five minutes of fame. Now, thank goodness, there's an illegal 205 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: principle just because someone confesses to a crime doesn't allow 206 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: them to be prosecuted unless there's other evidence that they 207 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: committed the crime. And thank goodness for that rule. You're right, 208 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: Troice Layton, You're absolutely right. The law is throughout every jurisdiction, 209 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: and this has been taken all the way to the 210 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court, and that is why it's a uniform 211 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: and every jurisdiction. You know, violent crimes are usually prosecuted 212 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: by the states, and we've got fifty of them. You'd 213 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: think there'd be fifty different sets of rules. There are 214 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:59,359 Speaker 1: not they may differ in some ways, but many state opinions, decisions, 215 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: and criminal cod have been taken all the way to 216 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. The Supremes make a decision and 217 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: then all the other states fall into line with that. 218 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: Now he's right, Royce Layton is right. You cannot prosecute 219 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: someone based on their confession alone. There has to be 220 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: corroborating evidence, Thank the Lord. So, Robin Willinski, let me 221 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: ask you this, what do we know about the physical 222 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: evidence opposing or supporting this freak Gary Oliva's confession he 223 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: killed John Benet? Well, Nancy, there is not a DNA link. 224 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: From what I understand, there was DNA in John Benet's 225 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: underwear to this day that has never been identified. Every year, 226 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,119 Speaker 1: to my understanding, the FBI crime lab in Virginia runs 227 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: that sample over and over and over again more than 228 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: twenty years to this day. Nancy ever has been identified. 229 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: And it's interesting, and you know this because you have kids. 230 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: If you go to a store or a Target of 231 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: Walmart wherever, and you go to buy underwear that's just 232 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: hanging on a little hanger, that's not in a plastic wrap, 233 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: and someone if she had on, for example, new underpants, 234 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: and someone would have touched that in a store, or 235 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: the lady who man or someone who's checking you out 236 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: at the counter touches that. They still don't know where 237 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: that DNA is. And Gary Oliva does not match that 238 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: DNA sample. Well, I mean, Cheryl Wia call them. You 239 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: and I both are raising a boy and a girl. 240 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: A million times. I've been the one the mom and 241 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: I hate that mom sitting in the floor of Target 242 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: or wherever, and I take the underwear out of the pack. 243 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: I know it's also neatly package, and I take it out. 244 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: I try not to destroy the package, and I hold 245 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: it up and to Lucy's shot in horror, I hold 246 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: it up to her as she's standing there in her clothes, 247 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: going mom to see, okay, is this gonna fit her? 248 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: So I've handled it. You know, I may have on lotion, 249 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: I may have just washed my hands. Whatever the minute 250 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: amount of DNA on John Benet's underwear, What if anything 251 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: does that mean? Except one thing, we know it's not 252 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: Gary Oliva's. What else do we know about that also 253 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: doesn't match anybody in her family. So again, it could 254 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: very well come from the person that was examining the 255 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: underwear before it left the factory. Somebody could have sneezed, 256 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: They could have been sweating, who knows, We don't know. 257 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: That's the whole point. But it doesn't match this guy 258 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: and the other thing that falls short with his story, Nancy. 259 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: He wants us to believe that he stopped and fed 260 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: the child pineapple. He wants us to believe that he's 261 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: spent all this time looking for a legal pad and 262 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: looking for a pen and writing his three page ransom 263 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: note and just walking all over the house instead of 264 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: getting the hell out of there because he just killed 265 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: the child. None of this makes sense. He just happened 266 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: to know John's bonus of one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. 267 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: He just happened to know about this lost room. None 268 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: of this makes any sense. And here's the biggest thing 269 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: for me. In the autopsy, they are very clear to 270 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: point out that John Banet had chronic vaginal injuries that 271 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: to me does not suggest a stranger at all. But 272 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: does it suggest And again let me point out that 273 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: the brother, who I have never once suspected based on 274 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: statistics alone, but especially looking at him compared to John Banat, 275 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: I think she could crack him in two with one 276 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: hand behind her back. The brother has actually sued when 277 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: it was suggested he was guilty, and you know, if 278 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: doing that it would have basically allowed him to be 279 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: put on the stand, and he was not afraid of that. 280 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: So I've never believed Burke did it, and I don't 281 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: believe the dad did it because John Benet, to my understanding, 282 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: still had a hymen means an adult male had never 283 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: had relations with her. Gary Eliva now confessing I did it, 284 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: is the case now solved in the murder of John Benet, 285 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: or is it simply more murky? I and Nancy Grace here, 286 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: have you ever googled yourself, your neighbors, somebody at work, 287 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: a crush. Fifty seven percent of Americans admit to keeping 288 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: an eye on their own online reputation. Forty six admit 289 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: to using the Internet to look up somebody from their past. 290 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: But Google and Facebook the tip of the iceberg when 291 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: it comes to finding personal information.

Boulder Police say Gary Olivia is still 303 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: a suspect and the John Vannie Ramsey murderer. He has 304 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: not been cleared, but is well known to officers and 305 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: city leaders. Tell me if new information comes to light 306 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: through his most recent arrest, they will certainly look into it. 307 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: Nearly two decades after John Vaney Ramsey was killed Insider 308 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: Families Boulder Home, a suspect and the infamous Christmas Night 309 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: murder is behind bars, accused of downloading child pornography. We 310 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: haven't ruled him in or out in connection with the 311 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: Ramsey case. Boulder Police, the same agency investigating the Ramsey case, 312 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: arrested fifty two year old Gary Oliva after getting a 313 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: cyber tip that looked like somebody was getting in pornography 314 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: materials related to children to an address the investigators were 315 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: able to link to mister Oliva. Court documents show he 316 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: downloaded twenty two separate sexually explicit images. All of the 317 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: photos showed children under ten years of age, who certainly 318 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: understand the interests in mister Oliva, both in connection with 319 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: the new charges and his possible connection in the past. 320 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: Oliva wasn't one of the early suspects in the Ramsey case, 321 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: but the convicted sex offender may have been close to 322 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: the Ramsey home on the night of the murder and 323 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: when he was arrested on other charges back in two thousand, 324 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: police found a photo of Ramsey in his possession and 325 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: he did admit to having an obsession with a young 326 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: beauty queen. Feel like we ought to look at all 327 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: people as being possible suspects that have been possible suspects before. 328 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: For now, Boulder Police say it's focused on the most 329 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: recent charges, but that could change if additional information about 330 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: him becomes available subsequent to his arrest. In this case, 331 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: we'll certainly look at it now. Eliva is charged with 332 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: three felonies for sexual exploitation of a child. You are 333 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: hearing our friend at ABC seven. They're in Denver. That's 334 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: Jennifer Kovaleski talking about the twenty sixteen arrest of Gary 335 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: Eliva on child porn. Now he jumps up and says, 336 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: I kill John Banet. But Bobby Brown, Colorado Private Investigator 337 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: is correct, he said it before. But you know what, 338 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: as I always love to say in court when the 339 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: defense jumps up and over and ever, I'm like, you 340 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: can say that, oh all you want to. You can 341 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: say a hundred times, two hundred times, a thousand times. 342 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't make it true. Just because he keeps saying 343 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: I did it, I did it doesn't make it true. 344 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: Joining me right now, renown medical examiner and author of 345 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: Homicide Investigation Field Guide. Now there's some good reading right there, 346 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: Homicide Investigation Field Guide. You know, Jackie and Allan, Jackie 347 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: Howard and Allen Duke always roll their four eyeballs when 348 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: I talk about one of my favorite books ever, Method 349 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: and Assessment of Homicide and Suicide. I mean, I can't 350 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: tell you how many times I read that. And of 351 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: course the Gun Lover's Bible, so I would familiarize myself 352 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: with ballistics. So you know, Homicide Investigation Field Guide I'm 353 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: very impressed, doctor Michel Dupree, But that's not my issue today. 354 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: My issue is Gary Oliva, because a lot of people 355 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: want to believe, yes, he did it and put the 356 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: case to bed. But I don't take it very lightly 357 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: when somebody makes a false confession, because you know what 358 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: that does. That ruins a potential future prosecution of the 359 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: real killer because as giving no offense choice Layton slimy 360 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: defense attorneys a defense on a silver platter, say I 361 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: catch the real killer. And then here comes TROYE Slate 362 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: bouncing into court and his two thousand dollars Armani suit 363 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: and his fancy Italian loafers. He comes up and he goes, 364 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: oh really, because John Mark Carr said he did it 365 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: and Gary Olivia said he did it, it doesn't help, 366 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: doctor Michelle Dupree. It doesn't help at all when some 367 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: nut job like Oliva claims he did it, and hey, 368 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: what if he did? So, Michelle Dupree, Doctor Dupree, how 369 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: do I prove he did or didn't do it based 370 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: on the crime scene in the DNA fancy? That's an 371 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: excellent question. We go with a physical evidence, I mean, 372 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: physical evidence does not lie, and your guests are far 373 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: have mentioned many instances and where it just doesn't add up. 374 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: The DNA doesn't match, there's no other physical evidence at 375 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: the crime scene to make a confession. We all know 376 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: that some people just want the spotlight, and so that's 377 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: where we'd have to go on the defense of this. 378 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: Go with the physical evidence and you will never go wrong. 379 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: You know what. I used to argue something like that 380 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: to juries all the time, not as eloquently as you 381 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: just did. And you didn't even train three years to 382 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: speak in front of a jury. Very well. Put, you 383 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: have to follow the hard forensics if you've got it, 384 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: And here, Cheryl McCollum, we have a glaring lack of 385 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: forensics pointing to Oliva. Cheryl McCollum, if you had one 386 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: minute in front of the jury, what would you say 387 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: to sum up the fact did Gary Oliva murder little 388 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: beauty Queen John Benet. He has not given us one 389 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: thing about that crime scene we didn't already know or 390 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: we didn't publish. He's a liar and he's out for attention, period. 391 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: What about forensic Cheryl, There is no zero that leads 392 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: to him. There's no DNA, he's got no clothing with 393 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: her blood on it. He's got no hair from her, nothing, 394 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: nothing leads us to him. And Anthia is another thing. 395 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: No blame, get it. The whole surrounding of that house, 396 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: the whole perimeter. There's no footprints coming or going from 397 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: that house. What did he do? H a bag out 398 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: of there? Come on, he didn't do it. He does 399 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: it right like her mama. He didn't spend hours in 400 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: that house after he quote accidentally killed her and found 401 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: a paint brush and a piece of rope and did 402 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: a makeshift you know, way to strangle that base rite. Yeah. So, 403 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: Troy Slayton, you're the renowned defense attorney. If you were 404 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: defending a future defendant, what would you say? Because I 405 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: know you can spin a yarn. No offense, Troy, and 406 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure an untaken But what would you what would 407 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: you say? It sounds like to say he can do it. 408 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: If you say you're you aren't defending Jackie Howard five 409 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: years from now, who's now charged with murdering John Benett. 410 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: How would you try and pin this on a leva? 411 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: Why would certainly point to his confession? I would say, 412 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: let's believe a person when they make a statement against 413 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: penal interest. Here's another legal theory for the audience. When 414 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: somebody says something that goes so far against what an 415 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: average person would do and tends to inculpate themselves, tends 416 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: to make themselves look guilty, that type of statement is 417 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: more trustworthy here. A normal person doesn't commit I mean, 418 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: doesn't admit to committing a crime that they didn't do. 419 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: A normal person doesn't. Obviously Oliva's is not a normal person. 420 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: And if I was called upon to defend Oliva's in 421 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: some sort of future prosecution, well you have my witness 422 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: list already all set for me too. Bobby Brown, who 423 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: is a veteran in law enforcement Colorado private investigator, Bobby Brown, again, 424 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. You've heard Cheryl McCollum 425 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: explying why she doesn't think Oliva is response or committed 426 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: the crime, but you disagree. Explain. I want everybody to 427 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: know that I am not saying by any means that 428 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: Gary Oliva is, even though he confessed again that he 429 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: is the person that is responsible for the death of 430 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: John Benet. But I just wanted to say a couple 431 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: of things. Is that after John Benet's death, Gary Olivia 432 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: did leave the state and where he sexually molested a 433 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: seven year old little girl. And he was in Boulder 434 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: the night that John Benet was killed. He was supposedly 435 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: staying at a church near by their house, and the 436 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: next morning he called his friend. He tells his friend 437 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: that he had done something really bad that a little girl. 438 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: One thing that I will say that when I called 439 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: up when he was arrested in two thousand and sixteen 440 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: with the pornography charges I did, I got all of 441 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: the bonding information, which I have printed out right in 442 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: front of me, and it clearly says that he was 443 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: arrested on April tenth. However, he was booked into the 444 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: Boulder County Jail on June seventeenth, and he had a 445 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: bond set for twenty five thousand dollars. When I asked 446 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: the jail where was he between April tenth and June seventeenth, 447 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: and the exact quote from the deputy or person that 448 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: I spoke to the jail said that it was the 449 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: sixty four thousand dollars question of the day. The world 450 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: was shocked to hear about the motive of the six 451 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: year old beauty pageant princess jumping a Ramsey. Since this 452 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: horrible day, her death has remained as one of the 453 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: biggest mysteries of all time, which has set in motion 454 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: at many conspiracy theories, some crazy but others more grounded 455 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: in reality. Today, Lauren Forces are on the brig of 456 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: closing the case after Gary Oliver, a fifty four year 457 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: old convicted pedophile who is currently serving time in prison, 458 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: confessed to her murder. The Daily Mail obtained letters written 459 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: by Gary Oliver. The report claimed the fifty four year 460 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: old is taking full responsibility for the crime, saying he 461 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: killed her by accident. I never loved anyone like it 462 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: did John Bernee, and yet I let her slipped, her 463 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: head bashed and I watched her die. He allegedly wrote, 464 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: it was an accident. Please believe me. She was not 465 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: like other kids. John Bernee completely changed me and removed 466 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: all evil from me. Oliver stated, just one look at 467 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: her beautiful face, her beautiful skin and divine God body. 468 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: I realized I was wrong to kill other kids. Yet 469 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: by accident she died and it was my fault. The 470 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: sensational letters was sent to the music publicist to Michael Vale, 471 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: a former mate of Oliver's who has quartedly suspected his 472 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: involvement in the crime for many years. The shock admission 473 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the now infamous case, 474 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: which has had detective stumped for years. My suspicion began 475 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: when Gary called me late one night on December twenty six, 476 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. He was sobbing and said, I heard 477 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: a little girl. The fifty five year old told the publication, 478 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: you're hearing our friends at Daily Mail regarding Gary Oliva 479 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: announcing he murdered John Benet. I don't know that I 480 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: would call his confession a breakthrough. I think I call 481 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: it more of a speedbop. To Bobby Brown, Colorado private investigator, 482 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: how did you first learn about Eliva? At the breakfast 483 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: meeting that Lou Smith and I had? And Lou Smith 484 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: was the one that brought up that there was a suspect, 485 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Gary Oliva, and Lou was very serious about it. I was, 486 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: and obviously that's how I I put a lot of 487 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: work to this. And I want to say that, you know, 488 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: when people ask real quick, why would anybody confess to this? 489 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, why would you leave? But consessted this, and 490 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 1: you know that's a great question, because somebody that's been 491 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: around with this for a long time. The sex offenders 492 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: and especially pedophiles, they don't do really well in prison. 493 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: So you know, if you're in prison and all of 494 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: a sudden you're you're saying, here's this gigantic case that's 495 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: been out there for all these decades, and then you're 496 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: saying that you are the one that did it, you know, 497 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: that's not a very smart move by any meaning. Well, 498 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: it could be. To Robin Willinski, Crime Online dot Com 499 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: investigative reporter and author of Beautiful Life See Aside behind 500 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: Casey Anthony Trial on Amazon, Robin, you've studied this very 501 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: very carefully. We all covered at John Manai's death and 502 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: the investigation intensely at the time. What do you make 503 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: of it? What about his confession is consistent or inconsistent 504 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: with the facts, the forensic facts as we know them. Well, 505 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you an aunty. I was actually out there 506 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: in another lifetime in two thousand and six working for 507 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: another network when they bought brought John Mark Carr back 508 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: to the United States, And I will tell you that 509 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: I knew of Aliva, but I do not believe that 510 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: the DNA there's no DNA that puts him inside that house. 511 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: For me personally, my big takeaway after all these years, 512 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: the only thing that connects John Mark Carr, the other 513 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: guy who said that he killed John Beday, the only 514 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: thing in my mind that connects him to the case. 515 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, there's no receipts, there's no DNA. That ransom 516 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: note that Patsy finds on the bottom of the staircase 517 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: is signed s b TC, and no one has ever 518 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 1: been able to explain what those letters stand for. Well, 519 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: in my old job at a different network, we had 520 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: a producer that was sniffing around in this little town 521 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: in Alabama where John Mark Carr is from. And in 522 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: one of his yearbooks he signs it SBTC shall be 523 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: the Conqueror. And to me, that's an interesting takeaway to 524 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: this case. Also, there was a window in the basement 525 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: that there's some glass that was pushed in. The only 526 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: person skinny enough, physically small enough to have gotten into 527 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: that window from the outside is not Aliva. He's a 528 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: much bigger guy. The only person who would fit through 529 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: that window would be someone like John Mark Carr, who 530 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: is that sick you know, Roby Mallinski. When I would 531 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: try cases. In closing argument, I carried with me a 532 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: huge jar of water, and at the bottom, Cheryl, don't grown, 533 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: because you remember this, there was dirt at the bottom. 534 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: And at the beginning of my closing statement. Sometimes, if 535 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: it fit, i would take the big jar and I'd 536 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: shake it in front of the jury to make sure 537 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: they saw me do it. I'd set it down on 538 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: council table and then I'd start my closing argument, which 539 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: would at the least take one hour. By the time 540 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: the hour was up, I would pick up the jar, 541 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: which now all the soil was at the bottom, and 542 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: I'd hold it up and say that defense is trying 543 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: to muddy the water. I've explained to you the facts 544 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: and see now is crystal clear you are muddying the water. 545 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: Robin Wilinsky, I'm just gonna tell you right now because 546 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: and you have me. You're like a little snake charmer. 547 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: Oh SBTC and he could fit through the window. I'm 548 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: calling b yes again, Troy S Laton, LA defense lawyer. 549 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: Isn't it true John Mark Carr was in another state 550 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: when John Benet was killed. That's when all the evidence 551 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: shows and it's it's unbelievable to why can't you just 552 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: say yes like a normal person. Why why do you 553 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: have to leave a little doubtling? Really well, that's what 554 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: the evidence shows, as if to say, bet Man I wasn't. 555 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: Maybe he was with Harry Potter. Maybe he was with 556 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: Harry Potter and they transported what's the word they use 557 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: in Harry Potter. I've got I've read them so many times, 558 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: and they appeared in John Manay's basement. He wasn't out 559 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: of the state. Troy Slayton, he may have been out 560 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: of the state. That's what the evidence appears to show, Nancy, 561 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: But I wasn't with them. You weren't with them, so 562 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: we can't say for sure. And it's this exact type 563 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: of confession from Oliva that is, as you've said, a 564 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: goldmine for the defense in any future prosecution of this 565 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: horrific tragedy. To doctor Michelle Duprey, medical examiner and author 566 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: Homicide Investigation Field Guide, do you see anything on the 567 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: scene of the murder that indicates Oliva is the killer? Nancy, 568 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: not that I can tell. I mean, there is no 569 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: physical evidence, and that's always what we have to go for. 570 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 1: Everything that your other guest have said is absolutely true. 571 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: There's no way to tie him to this. We depend 572 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: on something called low cards exchange, where a perpetrator comes in, 573 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: brings something from outside into the crime scene and then 574 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: take something away from the crime scene outside. We don't 575 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: have that here too, Cheryl McCollum, Cold Case Research Institute Director, 576 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: CSI expert. Cheryl, you know, give me your best shot 577 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: as to why he did do it. I know that's 578 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. Zero there's nothing, and I'm gonna blow 579 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: your mind. Cadn't you just use your imagination for Pete's sake? 580 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: Defense attorneys to do it all the time. I do, 581 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: And in order to do that, I would have to 582 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: make something up, which is exactly what he's done it. 583 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: But I'm going to blow your mind. He didn't even confess, 584 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: he said, John Beney slipt and she hit her head. 585 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: We don't even have a confessience. He's a liar, is 586 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: that true? Bobby Brown Colorado a PI Is there nowhere 587 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: he says I did it? Not from ideal and there 588 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: is one to Cheryl McCollum, director of the Cold Case 589 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: Research Institute. I know you couldn't stretch your imagination to 590 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: come up with an argument that Eliva's guilty. But if 591 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: you were arguing to the jury right now, why would 592 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: you say he's not guilty of John Benet's murder. His 593 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: handwriting does not match the ransom note. He writes an 594 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: all caps the ransom note does not in the ransom note. 595 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: It says things like at ashe and she's gonna be beheaded, 596 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: and all of these things. His confessions, it's not it's 597 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: not a confession number one and number two. He doesn't 598 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: say what he hit her in the head with. It 599 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: doesn't say you know why he did it. He doesn't 600 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 1: say he's molested her or anything. He doesn't say how 601 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: he got in her out of the house. He doesn't 602 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: say how he knew where the locked bedroom was or 603 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: the room. He doesn't say where the pineapple came from, 604 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: or why he took time to feed this child. He 605 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: doesn't say where he found a legal pad or the inkpen, 606 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: or why he would go from the third floors to 607 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: the basement, and spends all of this time in this 608 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: house writing a three page note looking for these instruments 609 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: to do that, all the while there's a dead six 610 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: year on the basement that he didn't mean to really 611 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 1: kill in the first place. None, none of it makes 612 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: any sense. And Nancy, he's a liar, and he's an opportunist. 613 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: And he and his you know, elementary school friend. Maybe 614 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: they want to write a book. I don't know what 615 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: they're doing. But it's not true. There's nothing authentic. Again, 616 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: he has not told us one thing that is not 617 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: public knowledge about that thing. Explain whether or not she 618 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: was paved. Tell me, tell me what the marks are 619 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: on her neck, Tell me how the scratch has got 620 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: on her back. Tell me why the paintbrush. Why you 621 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: would make this really crude garrett to strangle her with? 622 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: And why do you keep talking about the head in dream? 623 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: You don't mention his trangulation at all. Just patiki eye. There. 624 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: We know she was strangled. That's the official rule. Explain 625 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: it to me. Why would you make a little drawing 626 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: in the palm of her hand? Why would you go 627 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: back up the stairs and get her favorite toy? He 628 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: can't explain any of that because he didn't do it. 629 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: I think that says it all, Kama says. Tells me 630 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: Gary Olivia is just seeking attention, a book deal, a 631 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: movie deal, or who knows what, maybe even protective custody. 632 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: We'll see Nancy Gray's crime story, signing off goodbye friend,
