Speaker 4: in Gilgo Beach more than a decade later. DNA testing

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,280

00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: found with her remains links to Huermann's daughter, though she

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: is not implicated. Huerman denies all charges. His defense argues

46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: the DNA evidence is unreliable and disputes any connection to

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,280

48

Speaker 4: citing recovered documents and evidence tying him to the victims.

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: Authorities continue to examine unsolved cases linked to the Gilgo

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: Beach investigation, which began in twenty ten with the discovery

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: of multiple remains along a barrier island. As San Francisco

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: jury has convicted forty year old tech consultant Nimo MoManI

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: of second degree murder in the stabbing death of Bob Lee,

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: the founder of cash app Here's Crime Online Sidney Sumner

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: with details.

56
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: The verdict, delivered after seven days of deliberation, carries a

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: potential sentence of sixteen years to life in prison. Lee

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: a forty three year old tech innovator, was found gravely

59
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: injured in the early morning hours of April fourth, twenty

60
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: twenty three. Staggering along a deserted street near San Francisco's

61
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: Bay Bridge. He left a trail of blood while calling

62
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: for help. He succumbed to his injury shortly after being

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: taken to a hospital. Prosecutors described the attack as premeditated,

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: alleging that Momane drove Lee to an isolated area and

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: fatally stabbed him three times with a kitchen knife. Investigators

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: say the incidents stemmed from Momanie's anger over Lee's interactions

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: with his younger sister. According to testimony, Momanie believed Lee

68
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: had introduced his sister to a drug dealer who provided

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: her with narcotics, including GHB, before allegedly assaulting her. MoManI, however,

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: took the stand in his defense, claiming the confrontation was

71
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: sparked by Lee's irritation when Momanie urged him to focus

72
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: on family instead of nightlife. Momiane, who was martial arts training,

73
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: asserted that he acted in self defense after Lee attacked

74
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: him with a knife. He claimed he was unaware Lee

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: had been seriously injured. The high profile case captured national attention,

76
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: partly due to Lee's prominence in the tech industry. Lee,

77
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: who had relocated to Miami, was known as the creator

78
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: of the widely used mobile payment service cash App, and

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: served as the chief product officer of mobile Coin, a

80
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: cryptocurrency company.

81
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: Momaionie, who has been in custody since his arrest in

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 4: April twenty twenty three, will remain behind bars as he

83
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: awaits sentencing.
