Speaker 2: Park has on leash a terrifying new investigation, with authorities

00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: now probing if the killer is linked to a chilling

00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: unsolved case with eerie similarities, including potential Satanic ties. Andrew mcgannn,

Speaker 2: for the brutal stabbing deaths of Clinton Brin forty three

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: and Kristin Brink, forty one. Here's Arkansas State Police Colonel

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: Mike Hager at a previous news conference.

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Well, we know right now we have no indication to

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: suggest that the girls were here target and I can't

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: tell you that we had no reason to believe that

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: there was eighty known association which are suspects and orgasms.

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: But authorities now fear he may be a serial predator

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: stalking America's remote Parklands. The horror unfolded on July twenty sixth,

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: when the Brinks were viciously attacked while hiking with their

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: two young daughters, aged seven and nine. The couple died,

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: shielding their children, who escaped unharmed and are now with family.

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Arkansas State Police acted fast, swiftly identifying McGann, a Springdale resident,

24
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: after DNA evidence found at the crime scene matched his profile.

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: McGann was nabbed on July thirtieth at a barber shop

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: mid Trim. He faces two counts of capital murder, with

27
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: prosecutors vowing to pursue the death penalty, but the case

28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: took a darker turn when investigators began digging into a

29
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 2: possible connection to the twenty twenty unsolved murder of John

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: Schmitzer at Wisconsin's Devil's Lake State Park. Here's an official

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: at the news conference. We just simply think that he

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. He

33
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: was alone. It was probably an attack that he did

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: not see coming. Schmitzer was stabbed to death while hiking alone,

35
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: and the discovery of symbols carved nearby that authorities described

36
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: as quote potentially ritualistic end quote has fueled wild speculation.

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: Prime labs in Arkansas and Wisconsin are now exchanging DNA

38
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: evidence to see if McGann, who has lived in Oklahoma

39
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: and Texas, was in the area at the time of

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: the Wisconsin slang. Meanwhile, an unsolved twenty twenty three shooting

41
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: death in Vermont also garnered attention, but police have since

42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: ruled out any link to McGann. The FBI's Little rock

43
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Field office is a Arkansas state police who released a

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: composite sketch and photo of McGann before his arrest, depicting

45
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: a white male in dark clothing and fingerless gloves fleeing

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: in a black sedan. Police have not released a motive

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: for the murders. As the investigation continues, Devil's Den remains

48
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: under heightened patrols with trails closed. For the latest on

Speaker 2: from justice is now back from the grave and facing

54
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: his accuser in a Utah courtroom. The man known in

55
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: the US as Nicholas Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alaverdian,

56
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: is accused of orchestrating a brazen scheme to escape rape charges.

57
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: He was arrested in Scotland in twenty twenty one, a

58
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: year after his phony death was reported, when he was

59
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: recognized at a Glasgow hospital while receiving treatment for COVID nineteen.

60
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: He initially tried to pretend he was an Irish orphan

61
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: named Arthur Knight who had never set foot on American soil.

62
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: He tried to keep up the charade at a previous hearing. Listen,

63
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: mister Rossi nightt his theatrical act of appearing in court

64
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: in a wheelchair and breathing from an oxygen tank during

65
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: his high stakes trial underway right now, is, prosecutors say,

66
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: just another twisted manipulation by a man who used at

67
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: least a dozen aliases to dodge the law for years.

68
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: State of Utah versus Rossi. The shocking case centers on

69
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: the testimony of a woman whose identity is being protected.

70
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: She told the court how she met Rossi through a

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: Craigslist personal ad in November of two thousand and eight,

72
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: while she was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. A vulnerability.

73
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Prosecutor's claim he was quick to exploit. The relationship was

74
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: a whirlwind, with the pair getting engaged in just two weeks,

75
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: but she alleges Rossi quickly became a controlling nightmare. He

76
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: demanded she pay for dates, his rent, and even the

77
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: engagement rings. The romance soured after a heated argument where

78
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Rossi allegedly pounded on her car, blocking her from leaving

79
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: a parking garage. She testified that after finally getting him

80
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: to go home, she went inside to end things for good.

81
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: It was there she claims that Rossi pushed her onto

82
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: his bed, held her down, and raped her. Deputy Salt

83
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Lake County District Attorney Brandon Simmons painted Rossie as a

84
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: cunning predator who preyed on her fragility. Rossi's defense, however,

85
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 2: argues the woman and only fabricated the allegations years later

86
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: out of resentment over the financial strain of their month

87
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: long relationship. Rossi's saga of deception hit a new level

88
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: when he allegedly faked his death in twenty twenty, even

89
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: having an obituary published claiming he died of non Hodgkin lymphoma.

90
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Rossi fought his extradition from Scotland for months, but his

91
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: claims that he was Arthur Knight were ultimately rejected by

92
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: the courts and he was returned to the US in

93
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: January of twenty twenty four. Rossi faces a second rape

94
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: trial in September in Utah County. And finally, New York's

95
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: most notorious fake heiress, Anna Deelvi is in a burrow

96
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: of trouble after her latest photo shoot went sideways. You

97
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: might remember this not so basic moment when she appeared

98
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. What are

99
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: you going to take away from this competition?

100
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: Nothing?

101
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: But now she's accused of doing something that many hopping mad.

102
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: A couple of gland up rabbits she used as props

103
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: for her social media choot were heartlessly ditched in Brooklyn's

104
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Prospect Park, sparking a ferocious backlash from animal lovers everywhere. Delvy,

105
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: whose real name is Anasaurakin, who is still sporting an

106
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: ankle monitor, initially hopped away from blame, saying she had

107
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: no knowledge the animals were abandoned, and her nineteen year

108
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: old assistant later confessed to the hair brained move. Now

109
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: the con artist who spent four years in prison for

110
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: stealing two hundred and seventy thousand dollars from friends and

111
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: businesses to fund her lavish lifestyle, is claiming she's receiving

112
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: a whole fur ball of death threats over the kerfuffle.

113
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: In a desperate tailspin to save face, she's reportedly coughed

114
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: up a donation of one thousand bucks to a rabbit rescue.

115
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: This whole ordeal leaves a pawful lot of questions about

116
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: her judgment, proving once again that she is still not

117
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: who she said she is, and she's still dealing and

118
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,800
