17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: provide over five hundred images and videos the investigators were

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: surveillance video from homes and businesses showed the specific black

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: card they were looking for as the car went to

00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: time of the murders. Even though they did not see

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: the attack, they were able to provide additional information that

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: helped create a composite sketch of the suspect. The investigation

00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: began with the description of the possible suspect car, a

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: black sedan that was sporty. Using that descriptor, investigators find

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,679

Speaker 1: into the salon and asked for the owner of the

00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: police immediately noticed several cuts on his hands. While McGann

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,520

Speaker 1: if any of the weapons found was used in the

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: murders until testing is completed. Authorities believe McGann acted alone

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,360
