Speaker 2: possible connection to the twenty twenty unsolved murder of John
Speaker 2: Schmitzer at Wisconsin's Devil's Lake State Park. Here's an official
Speaker 2: at the news conference. We just simply think that he
Speaker 2: was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. He

Speaker 2: and the discovery of symbols carved nearby that authorities described

Speaker 1: Nancy Thanks, Jennifer More crime and justice news after this.
Speaker 2: A monster who allegedly faked his own death to vanish
Speaker 2: from justice is now back from the grave and facing
Speaker 2: his accuser in a Utah courtroom. The man known in
Speaker 2: the US as Nicholas Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alaverdian,
Speaker 2: is accused of orchestrating a brazen scheme to escape rape charges.
Speaker 2: He was arrested in Scotland in twenty twenty one, a
Speaker 2: year after his phony death was reported, when he was
Speaker 2: recognized at a Glasgow hospital while receiving treatment for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: He initially tried to pretend he was an Irish orphan
Speaker 2: named Arthur Knight who had never set foot on American soil.
Speaker 2: He tried to keep up the charade at a previous hearing. Listen,
Speaker 2: mister Rossi nightt his theatrical act of appearing in court
Speaker 2: in a wheelchair and breathing from an oxygen tank during
Speaker 2: his high stakes trial underway right now, is, prosecutors say,
Speaker 2: just another twisted manipulation by a man who used at
Speaker 2: least a dozen aliases to dodge the law for years.
Speaker 2: State of Utah versus Rossi. The shocking case centers on
Speaker 2: the testimony of a woman whose identity is being protected.
Speaker 2: She told the court how she met Rossi through a
Speaker 2: Craigslist personal ad in November of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 2: while she was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. A vulnerability.
Speaker 2: Prosecutor's claim he was quick to exploit. The relationship was
Speaker 2: a whirlwind, with the pair getting engaged in just two weeks,
Speaker 2: but she alleges Rossi quickly became a controlling nightmare. He
Speaker 2: demanded she pay for dates, his rent, and even the
Speaker 2: engagement rings. The romance soured after a heated argument where
Speaker 2: Rossi allegedly pounded on her car, blocking her from leaving
Speaker 2: a parking garage. She testified that after finally getting him
Speaker 2: to go home, she went inside to end things for good.
Speaker 2: It was there she claims that Rossi pushed her onto
Speaker 2: his bed, held her down, and raped her. Deputy Salt
Speaker 2: Lake County District Attorney Brandon Simmons painted Rossie as a
Speaker 2: cunning predator who preyed on her fragility. Rossi's defense, however,
Speaker 2: argues the woman and only fabricated the allegations years later
Speaker 2: out of resentment over the financial strain of their month
Speaker 2: long relationship. Rossi's saga of deception hit a new level
Speaker 2: when he allegedly faked his death in twenty twenty, even
Speaker 2: having an obituary published claiming he died of non Hodgkin lymphoma.
Speaker 2: Rossi fought his extradition from Scotland for months, but his
Speaker 2: claims that he was Arthur Knight were ultimately rejected by
Speaker 2: the courts and he was returned to the US in
Speaker 2: January of twenty twenty four. Rossi faces a second rape
Speaker 2: trial in September in Utah County. And finally, New York's
Speaker 2: most notorious fake heiress, Anna Deelvi is in a burrow
Speaker 2: of trouble after her latest photo shoot went sideways. You
Speaker 2: might remember this not so basic moment when she appeared
Speaker 2: on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. What are
Speaker 2: you going to take away from this competition?
Speaker 1: Nothing?
Speaker 2: But now she's accused of doing something that many hopping mad.
Speaker 2: A couple of gland up rabbits she used as props
Speaker 2: for her social media choot were heartlessly ditched in Brooklyn's
Speaker 2: Prospect Park, sparking a ferocious backlash from animal lovers everywhere. Delvy,
Speaker 2: whose real name is Anasaurakin, who is still sporting an
Speaker 2: ankle monitor, initially hopped away from blame, saying she had
Speaker 2: no knowledge the animals were abandoned, and her nineteen year
Speaker 2: old assistant later confessed to the hair brained move. Now
Speaker 2: the con artist who spent four years in prison for
Speaker 2: stealing two hundred and seventy thousand dollars from friends and
Speaker 2: businesses to fund her lavish lifestyle, is claiming she's receiving
Speaker 2: a whole fur ball of death threats over the kerfuffle.
Speaker 2: In a desperate tailspin to save face, she's reportedly coughed
Speaker 2: up a donation of one thousand bucks to a rabbit rescue.
Speaker 2: This whole ordeal leaves a pawful lot of questions about
Speaker 2: her judgment, proving once again that she is still not
Speaker 2: who she said she is, and she's still dealing and
Speaker 2: a whole lot of bunny business Nancy.
