1 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: Body Backs with Joseph Scott Morgan. I don't know about y'all, 2 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you I couldn't even fathom driving 3 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: up to my property where my family had probably celebrated 4 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: holidays and enjoyed one another's company for years and years, 5 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: getting out of my vehicle and ten o'clock at night, 6 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: it's dark everywhere, and looking off in the distance and 7 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: seeing two forms laying on the ground. It's the bodies 8 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: of my wife and my son, apparently shot down. They're 9 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: in the darkness on the evening of June seven, two 10 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: thousand one. That's when this nightmare started in the low 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: country of South Carolina. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan in this 12 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: his body backs. Joining me today is Jackie Howard, executive 13 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: producer of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Jackie, what can 14 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: you tell us about what I'm calling the murder executions 15 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: that took place on that faithful night, Joe, As you mentioned, 16 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: Alexander Alec Murdoch found their bodies around ten PM near 17 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: the kennels of their seventeen hundred acre property. During the 18 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: nine one one call, alex Murdo was crying and you 19 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: could hear him telling the operators that he found his 20 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: wife and his son shot. Details of this incident have 21 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: been redacted as those reports have been released, but one 22 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: of the main pieces of information that we do know 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: is that the murdas, Paul and Maggie, were shot with 24 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: two different firearms. Paul twenty two, was shot multiple times 25 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: with a shotgun, his mother, fifty two year old Maggie 26 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: was killed with a semi automatic rifle. And this has 27 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: started an investigation that has taken so many twists and turns, 28 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: including finding relations to three other deaths and a possible 29 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: suicide attempt by the father, Alex Murdo. At the time 30 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: of his death, pal Myrtle was facing a three felony 31 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: count of voting under the influence charges concerning the accidental 32 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: death of nineteen year old Mallory Beach. She was ejected 33 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: from the boat when Paul, who was allegedly drunk driving 34 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: at that time in February of twenty nineteen, ran into 35 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: a piling and Mallory was ejected from the boat. There's 36 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: also the death of Gloria Sadderfield, the housekeeper who died 37 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: from a slip and fall. There's also Steven Smith, he 38 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: was a nineteen year old who was found in the 39 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: middle of the roadway in July of There is information 40 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: linking that death to this case as well. So far, 41 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: no one has been criminally charged in connection with Maggie 42 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: and Paul Myrdal's death. The only charges that have been 43 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: leveled so far were the charges that Paul Murdoch was 44 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: facing in relationship to the Mallory Beach death. So, Joe, 45 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: there is a saying in broadcasting there are more questions 46 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: that answers, and in this case it is so true. 47 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: There are so many more questions than answers. So let's 48 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: see what we can kind of figure out here. Let's 49 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: start with finding the bodies. Alex Murdoch called nine one one. 50 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: The bodies were found near the kennels on the property. 51 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: Where do we start. When I heard about this case, 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: I was, you know, it's not too often that you 53 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: encounter case as an investigator where you have actually a 54 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: double what would seem at least to be a double 55 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: execution style homicide, And that's kind of what it's been 56 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: portrayed as. And I have to say, the bodies, as 57 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: we all know, in you know, in most death investigations, 58 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: are the central factor in a case. So just imagine, 59 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: if you will, a wagon wheel that has a central hub. 60 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: The bodies are actually that central hub, and everything else 61 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: just get this word picture in your mind. Everything else 62 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: just kind of radiates out from there. Any kind of 63 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: evidence gathering, that sort of thing. So the bodies, for 64 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: our purposes are the most essential piece of information, or 65 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: they at least can give us the most essential information 66 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: in this case. So the one thing that you want 67 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: to consider as you're beginning to look at these bodies, 68 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: and remember, Alec Murdo actually observed these bodies first, which 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: is critical. You know, he he is, he's the father, 70 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: he's the husband, he's the one that actually found the bodies, 71 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to anyone else that wasn't hired help. It 72 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: was an extended family, it was him that had eyes 73 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: on first. So you know, as an investigator, one of 74 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: the things I'm gonna want to know and want to 75 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: observe here is a physical placement of the body is 76 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: relative to one another, you know, because it's so odd 77 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: to have a double, like I said, double execution. So 78 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: you've got essentially a mother and her son were when 79 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: they observe these bodies, were they lined side by side? 80 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: Just kind of neatly there. You know, that would if 81 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: you saw that, that would give you an indication that 82 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: more than likely they had been placed very close to 83 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: one another, as opposed to, say, for instance, a random 84 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: type of event where you have an individual that is 85 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: essentially shot and then the other one is chased down 86 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: and shot in maybe close proximity, but in kind of 87 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: a disordered fashion. But where these bodies when initially found, 88 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: were they lying side by side? Say, the shoulders are 89 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: parallel to one another, side by side, so that you know, 90 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: their feet were perfectly aligned, their heads were perfectly aligned. Right, 91 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: there is one piece of information that I can fill in. 92 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: According to the police reports, their bodies were several feet 93 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: apart from each other. So what is that going to 94 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: tell you? I think my question would be, has been 95 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: reported by the news. What does several feet mean? Are 96 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: are we talking three ft? Are we talking six ft? 97 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: Are we talking ten feet away? Maybe if we look 98 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, maybe if it was several 99 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: feet like I don't know, maybe up to twenty feet away, 100 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: maybe you had an individual that had taken one one 101 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: one of the victims and shot them, and the other 102 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: person was essentially held in one location and they were 103 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: shot separately. Maybe they were forced to watch. Can you 104 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: imagine the horror in that? Or were they essentially taken apart, 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: because you know, one of the things that I'm thinking 106 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: about in this particular case, since we've got and we'll 107 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: get to this in just a minute, but since we've 108 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: got two weapons here, that implies to me that we 109 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: probably have two shooters, because why why would one individual 110 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: need two separate weapons. And we're not talking about pistols here, Okay, 111 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about long arms. So it gives me an 112 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: idea that you have two individuals holding these two separate 113 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: weapons at a distance. Well, maybe the bodies were separated, 114 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: you know, as they have put several feet away. Maybe 115 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: they're separated because neither one of the shooters wanted to 116 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: be shot. Maybe they didn't want to transfer evidence to 117 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: one another. Maybe they did it not in sync, but 118 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: they did it essentially with a pause, perhaps to send 119 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: a message or maybe too exact information from these two individuals. 120 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: Maybe an individual had information that they wanted for another 121 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: and they essentially liquidated one before they liquidated the other. 122 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: And I think all these things are probably going through 123 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: demands of the police officers out there. Could one person, 124 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about having two different weapons, but 125 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: could one person have managed both weapons considering one of 126 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: them was an assault type rifle? Yeah, you know that 127 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: that's very interesting since you know, bring up this term 128 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: assault rifle. And when you think about it, I'd like 129 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: the listeners to think about a tactical weapon, kind of 130 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: a a military grade rifle, you know, kind of like 131 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: what our troops carry, uh an M four carbing um 132 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: in civilian parlance, that's known as an a R fifteen 133 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: fires a what's called a five point five six millimeter round. Um. Yeah, 134 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: you could shoulder sling that weapon and you can put it, 135 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: you know kind of, or you can chest sling it 136 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: too and carry the shotgun and be free handed and 137 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: doing it. But but why why would you do that? 138 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: Why would you need the utility of two long arms? 139 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: Because long arms are hard to manage. Okay, there you 140 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: have to swing the muzzle around and all these sorts 141 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: of things. And if you're attempting to essentially kill two individuals, 142 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: you want to have kind of an economy in movement. 143 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: You want to be able to herd them in one 144 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: particular direction and That's another thing that comes in here 145 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: that brings us back to the bodies with the type 146 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: of weapons that were used, and we know that each 147 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: body was shot multiple times. What kind of damage does 148 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: that do to a body? One of the things that 149 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: we would be looking for when with both of these 150 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: weapons platforms, both a shotgun and a tactical weapon like this, 151 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: the damage or the trauma that both of these weapons 152 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: would inflict on either one of these subjects is going 153 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: to be over the top. It's going to be massive, 154 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: if you will, and a lot of that is going 155 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: to be dependent upon where they are shot anatomically, where 156 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: these arrange. Say, for instance, if you have an individual 157 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: that is shot in the head with a shotgun UH, 158 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: and not only are you having to deal with the 159 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: actual projectile that is coming out of the end of 160 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: that weapon. And think about this, if it was buckshot, 161 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: and you're talking about multiple essentially thirty two caliber UH 162 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: slugs or ore pellets that are going downrage, So it'd 163 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: be be like being shot in multiple times by thirty 164 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: two caliber pistol, only at the same time. So just 165 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: factor that into your thought relative to the amount of 166 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: damage and not only that coming out of the muzzle 167 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: of this weapon, You've got a tremendous amount of gas. 168 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: So let's just say, for instance, someone took that weapon 169 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: and placed it at the back of an individual's head. 170 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Not only are the projectiles being driven into the body, 171 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: into the head, you're also talking about hot air. And 172 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: what does hot air do well, it expands and that's 173 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: why you get these grotesque injuries sometimes because we all 174 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: know that hot air expands. It's superheated, and as it expands, 175 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: it just does great destruction to the body. And you know, 176 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: from what we understand, at least relative to Paul, he 177 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: was probably shot in multiple times with a shotgun. So 178 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: it be Harry. And from an investigative standpoint, when you're 179 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: examining the body, you want to try to understand, well, 180 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: what attitude was his body in when he was fired upon? 181 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: Was he twisted to the left, was he facing the 182 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: shooter the muzzle of the weapon if you will? Uh? 183 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Had he turned his back in order to run away 184 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: to try to put as much distance between himself and 185 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: the shooter? And that's all critical when we're trying to assess, uh, 186 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: the scene and the body and its relationship to everything 187 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: else that surrounds this environment. We're talking about the execution 188 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: style murders of both Maggie and Paul, all murder in 189 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the low country of South Carolina. Specifically, we've been discussing 190 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: what kind of damage can be expected be inflicted by 191 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: the weapons that were used in this case, So talking 192 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: about whether or not one person could have handled both 193 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: weapons and been able to do this, Let's talk about 194 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the distance. How are we going to know how far away? 195 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean is obviously one of these weapons was a rifle, 196 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: so that's a long distance weapon. The other was a shotgun, 197 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: which is not necessarily a long distance weapon. Why those 198 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: weapon choices for one and two? How are we going 199 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: to know how far away these people were when these 200 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: actions were taken. It's always been my opinion that you 201 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: see people in crimes, for instance, that where a firem 202 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: is involved, they essentially use long arms, which you can 203 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: classify both of these weapons, a shotgun and a rifle 204 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: as long arms. That means they're shoulder fired weapons. They 205 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: use these as uh as as a means to terrorize 206 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: an individual, to control them with power. It's much more intimidating. 207 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us would like to have 208 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: a pistol point of us. But you can imagine to 209 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: be staring down the barrel of a shotgun as opposed 210 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: to some tiny little pistol that somebody has in their hand. Automatically, 211 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: you you have their attention, you have everybody's nitch. A 212 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: matter of fact, you're walking down the street, one of 213 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: these things, people are gonna notice you. It's not like 214 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: you've got a pistol in your pocket. So when you 215 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: look at this and you begin to think, well, why 216 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: in the world would they use these heavy weapons, essentially 217 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: from a civilian standpoint um, on both a young man 218 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: and his mother. Why why would these be brought to bear? Well, 219 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, for part of me, I think that they 220 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: were the tools that were at hand for whoever the 221 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: killer is in this particular case. It's what they had 222 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: access to. It's what they thought that they would need 223 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to use, as opposed to just merely using a handgun. 224 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: And certainly, you've got two individuals, and I just thinking 225 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: this a little bit. You've got two individuals that obviously 226 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: have a will of their own. How are you going 227 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: to control them? We're gonna have to control them through 228 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: intimidation as you're maybe moving them out to this location 229 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: in order to end their life. Nobody's gonna go willingly, 230 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: but you stick the muzzle of that weapon in their 231 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: face or in their back, and you begin to kind 232 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: of prode them along towards what's gonna wind up being 233 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: their end. You have to have you have to have 234 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: that force behind it. And I'm not talking about the 235 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: pulling of the trigger. I'm just talking about the intimidation factor. Now, 236 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: when it gets to both of these weapons, how are 237 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: we going to tell how far away the individuals were 238 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: with a shotgun. Now, let's say, for instance, they're using 239 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: ammunition like a buckshot for instance, And again, this is 240 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: the buckshot inside these the shotgun shells. It's about I 241 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: don't know, roughly uh thirty two calibers, and that's a 242 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: pistol round, but it's a it's a pellet, and there's 243 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: multiple of these in here, and each one of the shells, 244 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: And so as you're firing this weapon, you're sending these 245 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: pellets out of the end of the barrel. But that's 246 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: not the only thing coming out of the end of 247 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: the barrel. You've got unburned powder. You've got actually smoke 248 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: that's coming out of the end of barrel. You've got fire, 249 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: and then you've got two components which are unique to 250 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: shotgun shells. You've got what's called wadding, which is kind 251 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: of a fiber disk that's down in the shell and 252 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: that travels out of the out of the end of 253 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: the barrel. I've actually found those embedded in bodies at autopsies. 254 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: And then you have something else. It's called a shotgun 255 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: shell cup and it's a cup that's made out of plastic. 256 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: It's got four little petals, just like a flower, if 257 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: you can imagine that, and the shed the projectiles themselves 258 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: are contained within this little cup. And when you fire 259 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: that shotgun shell and that those pellets come out of 260 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: the end of the barrel, that wadding comes out, which 261 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: is a little you know, almost it looks like I 262 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: felt disc. But you've got this cup that comes out 263 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: and it deploys in the air. These little wings, these 264 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: little petals spread and there's four of them, and you know, 265 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: if you're close enough to the body, you get a presentation. 266 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: It's a contusion that comes up on the body. It's 267 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: called cup slap and it's very unique. It looks like 268 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: a huge hand has come down and uh, and driven 269 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: fingers into the body. Now, if you're outside of a 270 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: range of I don't know, over about seven to eight 271 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: feet with one of these shotgun shells, that cup is 272 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: just gonna fly away. But if you're closer than that, 273 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: if you're closer than that, there's a high probability that 274 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: that cup is going to strike the body. So what 275 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: do we know, is forensic scientists, what we know if 276 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: we have cup slap that kind of overlies the holes 277 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: that the projectiles created, we know that we're talking about 278 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: a very specific distance or range of fire when it 279 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,479 Speaker 1: comes to play seen the shooter in relation to the decedent. 280 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: Is that something you've got to worry about with the 281 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: rifle as well. You know, the rifle is significantly different 282 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: than than the UH than the shotgun. First off, you 283 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: can tell just in the name Jackie. You know, the 284 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: name rifle, it actually implies that you're talking about a 285 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: rifle barrel. And just just so y'all understand, that means 286 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: that the barrel actually has grooves in the barrel, It 287 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: twists in one direction, either to the left or the right, 288 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: and it's very specific. It actually leaves marks on the 289 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: on the on the sides of the bullet, and that's 290 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: one of the ways that we identify the bullet to 291 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: match it up to a weapon. But when it comes 292 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: to range of fire, rifle, the rifle is highly accurate. 293 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: It's very very powerful. So compared to the shotgun, the 294 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: rifle has a higher muzzle velocity, which essentially means that 295 00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: the rate at which the projectile travels uh out the 296 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: end of that barrel is what we refer to as supersonic. 297 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: That means it's above the speed of sound at that 298 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: point in time. So it gives you kind of an idea. 299 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: You know, we have that large crack that you hear 300 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: when a rifle is fired. Now, one thing that does 301 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: come out of the end of the barrel of a 302 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: rifle other than that projectile that just kind of slams 303 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: into the body, is also going to be unburned powder. 304 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: Now this is significant because depended upon the spread of 305 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: that powder and how how widely it has spread, gives 306 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: you an idea as to the range of fire. So 307 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: just think about this if you're looking at a rifle 308 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: or a handgun, and handguns are rifled as well. After 309 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: about thirty six inches the powder, it's just going to 310 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: kind of drift away because it's not very era dynamic. 311 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: Because that bullet is spinning and it's staying right on target, 312 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: it's going to drive right into the target. So if 313 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: we're within about thirty six of that body, guess what's 314 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: going to happen. Hot gas is going to come out 315 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: of the end of that muzzle. It's going to sear 316 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: the wound. Potentially, we're also going to get powder, unburned 317 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: powder embedded into the surface surrounding the wound. And one 318 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: more thing, we're going to get something that's referred to 319 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: many times as bullet wipe, and bullet wipe is the 320 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: grease that actually comes you know, when bullets are fitted 321 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: in to a cartridge, they're actually kind of greased up 322 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: so that they will fit in and then it's crimped. 323 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: You'll actually get what's called bullet wipe where you'll see 324 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: this kind of black material that's surrounding the wound itself. 325 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: And this gives us an idea as to the range 326 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: of fire with a rifle. Just in listening to your 327 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: details about the positioning of the body, the type of 328 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: ammunition that could be used, the distance, there are so 329 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: many things there. You're looking at a crime scene that's 330 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: going to take a tremendous amount of time to process. 331 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know ours, you know, it's one thing. 332 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: And again, you know, I think folks can understand this 333 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: pretty easily. Um, I know if I can understand it, 334 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: y'all can. Uh. The more bodies you have, the more 335 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: evidence you're gonna have, and the more time that's gonna 336 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: have to be expended. When sled that's the state police 337 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: in South Carolina showed up. They had to bring full 338 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: force out there relative to their forensics people to work 339 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: the scene in the way the way we do this 340 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: if we have multiple bodies that are seen. I've worked 341 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: a lot of homicides where I have like a mass shooting. Okay, 342 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: you don't have one investigator that's essentially working every individual person. 343 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Well why is that? Well, because you're gonna miss details. 344 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: And trust me, in a case like this, there are 345 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: a ton of details. So what will happen is that 346 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: you will have a team of investigators that essentially will 347 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: work these bodies individual way and then they'll compile their reports. 348 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: But you know, when you begin to think about it, 349 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: what do you have to recover at the scene relative 350 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: to this shooting. You've got if these were semi automatic 351 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: weapons that were being fired, that means you've got ejected 352 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: shell casings. That's the spent casings, and you have to 353 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: consider those as to where they were ejected to was 354 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: a person moving around a lot when they're firing this weapon. 355 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: So you've got spent brass as it's called, all over 356 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: the place. Are spent shotgun hulls or shells all over 357 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: the place, and that gives you an indication that not 358 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: only were the victims may be moving, but the shooter 359 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: was moving, okay, kind of migrating around the body, if 360 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: you will. So you have to take all of that 361 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: into account, and then you have to compare where these 362 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: two shootings took place and try to get a measurement 363 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: for the distance. Apart that all of these shotgun shells 364 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: are dispersed over and one of the other reasons that 365 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: it's so complicated. I'm still not convinced that they were 366 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: absolutely shot at this location. We're talking about the brutal 367 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: execution of a mother and her son. We were just 368 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: discussing the nature of a crime scene and how layered 369 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: this is when you not just have one body, but 370 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: you have two bodies and not just one weapon, but 371 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: two weapons. So you just brought up a really good 372 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: point about the location of the bodies and whether or 373 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: not Paul and Maggie Myrtle were killed at this location. 374 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: We don't know that. So Number one, how will we 375 00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: know if they were killed at this location or are 376 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: How will we know how the body's got to this 377 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: location if they weren't killed on the property. We cannot 378 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: assume anything when it comes to a case involving a 379 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: double homicide. And and you know, at this point, we 380 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: cannot even assume that both Maggie and Paul were killed 381 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: specifically at this location because you know, the information has 382 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: not been completely revealed at this time. I think that 383 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: one of the questions we have to ask is where 384 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: their bodies were found where they were situated in this 385 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: particular case, is that actually where they died, where they 386 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: shot in another location perhaps and then brought to the 387 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: location where Alec eventually found them, you know, And that 388 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: that has puzzled me relative to this case, you know, 389 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: because there were a couple of vehicles out of the scene. 390 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: You know, as an investigator, one of the questions I 391 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: want to ask is, well, is there any indication that 392 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: maybe they have been transported to that location they're they're 393 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: deceased bodies were taken out there or where the vehicles 394 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: used to convey them there, uh, you know, at gunpoint? 395 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Or were they summoned there? Were they summoned there to 396 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: meet specifically at that location to meet someone who would 397 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: have access to that property. You know, essentially what it 398 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: comes down to is how did they arrive at their end, 399 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: if you will, And that's a big question. So when 400 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: you're you're thinking about this, you have to think, well, 401 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: if if they were not shot there then and shot 402 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: somewhere else in the property, did someone physically pick the 403 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: bodies up, place them there and lay them in these positions? 404 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Were they drug Well, if they were drug to those locations, 405 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: guess where we're gonna have. We might have bloody drag 406 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: marks that lead back through through the grass there. Maybe 407 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: they were shot against a building somewhere and there's there's 408 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: actually blood staining on a wall somewhere. But you know, 409 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: when we think about where they picked up and carried 410 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 1: after they were injured, you know what that means. That 411 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: means that whoever carried them, because the scene would have 412 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: been a bloody mess. We would be dealing with something 413 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: that's called uh blood transfer, and essentially all that means 414 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: is that the blood from these bodies would have transferred 415 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: onto the individuals that were carrying that. That means that 416 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: they would have just been covered in blood. You know, specifically, 417 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: you think about a shotgun wound their grotesque, you're gonna 418 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: have a tissue that's blown apart. Individuals would be uh stained, 419 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: that would be touching the bodies, and you would you 420 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: would absolutely have to take your clothes off and burn 421 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: them to you know, get rid of any kind of 422 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: evidence that you might find on clothing, and you would 423 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: certainly have to bathe yourself very well afterwards. And you 424 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: go back to the vehicles, Well, if they were transported 425 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: in a vehicle after they had been shot, uh, there 426 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 1: would be blood staining that was left within that vehicle. 427 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: And again that's transfer blood. If they're shot in a vehicle, 428 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna have more of a dynamic event in there 429 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: where you have high, high velocity blood staining that will 430 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, be on the interior of the car. So 431 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: we have a lot of unanswered questions. But you know 432 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: the great thing about forensic science is that if you 433 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: have someone that's not necessarily telling you the truth. The 434 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: science going is going. The science is going to actually 435 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: reveal what the truth is because the numbers don't lie 436 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: relative to this in this case, is actually gonna come 437 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: down to that. It's gonna come down to attempting to 438 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: assess the bodies. Okay, which has been done at the autopsy, 439 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be done in order to assess all 440 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: of the evidence that surrounds us body. Sink back to 441 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: what to what we're we're talking about. The bodies are 442 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: the hub. They are the hub of the wagon wheel, 443 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: and everything else radiates out from them. And then eventually 444 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: it's all gonna be tied back together because when they 445 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: do in fact catch whoever it was that perpetrated these crimes. 446 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: And this is this is two crimes, this is two 447 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: separate homicides. You're talking about the ending the brutal killing 448 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: of these two individuals. Folks are gonna be charged and 449 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna be prosecuted. And it is key that all 450 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: of this information, all of the forensic science that's involved 451 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: in this case be tied up in a neat little 452 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: package so that the people on the jury can understand 453 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: it because this is a highly highly complex case. I'm JOSEPHS. 454 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: Gott Morgan and this this body backs
