<v Speaker 1>seven and nine. Jennifer Gould has the details.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Nancy A Grewsome double murder at Arkansas's devil Den State

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Park has on leash a terrifying new investigation, with authorities

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 2>now probing if the killer is linked to a chilling

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>unsolved case with eerie similarities, including potential Satanic ties. Andrew mcgannn,

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>a twenty eight year old former teacher, is in custody

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>for the brutal stabbing deaths of Clinton Brin forty three

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and Kristin Brink, forty one. Here's Arkansas State Police Colonel

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Mike Hager at a previous news conference.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, we know right now we have no indication to

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 3>suggest that the girls were here target and I can't

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>tell you that we had no reason to believe that

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>there was eighty known association which are suspects and orgasms.

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>But authorities now fear he may be a serial predator

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>stalking America's remote Parklands. The horror unfolded on July twenty sixth,

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 2>when the Brinks were viciously attacked while hiking with their

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>two young daughters, aged seven and nine. The couple died,

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>shielding their children, who escaped unharmed and are now with family.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas State Police acted fast, swiftly identifying McGann, a Springdale resident,

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>after DNA evidence found at the crime scene matched his profile.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>McGann was nabbed on July thirtieth at a barber shop

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 2>mid Trim. He faces two counts of capital murder, with

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>prosecutors vowing to pursue the death penalty, but the case

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>took a darker turn when investigators began digging into a

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.639
<v Speaker 2>possible connection to the twenty twenty unsolved murder of John

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Schmitzer at Wisconsin's Devil's Lake State Park. Here's an official

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>at the news conference. We just simply think that he

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. He

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>was alone. It was probably an attack that he did

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>not see coming. Schmitzer was stabbed to death while hiking alone,

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and the discovery of symbols carved nearby that authorities described

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>as quote potentially ritualistic end quote has fueled wild speculation.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Prime labs in Arkansas and Wisconsin are now exchanging DNA

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>evidence to see if McGann, who has lived in Oklahoma

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and Texas, was in the area at the time of

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the Wisconsin slang. Meanwhile, an unsolved twenty twenty three shooting

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>death in Vermont also garnered attention, but police have since

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>ruled out any link to McGann. The FBI's Little rock

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Field office is a Arkansas state police who released a

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>composite sketch and photo of McGann before his arrest, depicting

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>a white male in dark clothing and fingerless gloves fleeing

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>in a black sedan. Police have not released a motive

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>for the murders. As the investigation continues, Devil's Den remains

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 2>under heightened patrols with trails closed. For the latest on

<v Speaker 1>Nancy Thanks, Jennifer More crime and justice news after this.

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>A monster who allegedly faked his own death to vanish

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>from justice is now back from the grave and facing

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>his accuser in a Utah courtroom. The man known in

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the US as Nicholas Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alaverdian,

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>is accused of orchestrating a brazen scheme to escape rape charges.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>He was arrested in Scotland in twenty twenty one, a

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>year after his phony death was reported, when he was

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>recognized at a Glasgow hospital while receiving treatment for COVID nineteen.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>He initially tried to pretend he was an Irish orphan

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>named Arthur Knight who had never set foot on American soil.

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He tried to keep up the charade at a previous hearing. Listen,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>mister Rossi nightt his theatrical act of appearing in court

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>in a wheelchair and breathing from an oxygen tank during

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>his high stakes trial underway right now, is, prosecutors say,

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 2>just another twisted manipulation by a man who used at

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>least a dozen aliases to dodge the law for years.

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>State of Utah versus Rossi. The shocking case centers on

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the testimony of a woman whose identity is being protected.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 2>She told the court how she met Rossi through a

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Craigslist personal ad in November of two thousand and eight,

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>while she was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. A vulnerability.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Prosecutor's claim he was quick to exploit. The relationship was

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>a whirlwind, with the pair getting engaged in just two weeks,

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>but she alleges Rossi quickly became a controlling nightmare. He

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>demanded she pay for dates, his rent, and even the

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>engagement rings. The romance soured after a heated argument where

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Rossi allegedly pounded on her car, blocking her from leaving

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a parking garage. She testified that after finally getting him

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 2>to go home, she went inside to end things for good.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It was there she claims that Rossi pushed her onto

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 2>his bed, held her down, and raped her. Deputy Salt

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Lake County District Attorney Brandon Simmons painted Rossie as a

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>cunning predator who preyed on her fragility. Rossi's defense, however,

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.679
<v Speaker 2>argues the woman and only fabricated the allegations years later

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>out of resentment over the financial strain of their month

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>long relationship. Rossi's saga of deception hit a new level

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>when he allegedly faked his death in twenty twenty, even

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>having an obituary published claiming he died of non Hodgkin lymphoma.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Rossi fought his extradition from Scotland for months, but his

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>claims that he was Arthur Knight were ultimately rejected by

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the courts and he was returned to the US in

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>January of twenty twenty four. Rossi faces a second rape

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>trial in September in Utah County. And finally, New York's

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>most notorious fake heiress, Anna Deelvi is in a burrow

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 2>of trouble after her latest photo shoot went sideways. You

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 2>might remember this not so basic moment when she appeared

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. What are

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you going to take away from this competition?

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Nothing?

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 2>But now she's accused of doing something that many hopping mad.

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>A couple of gland up rabbits she used as props

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>for her social media choot were heartlessly ditched in Brooklyn's

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Prospect Park, sparking a ferocious backlash from animal lovers everywhere. Delvy,

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>whose real name is Anasaurakin, who is still sporting an

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>ankle monitor, initially hopped away from blame, saying she had

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>no knowledge the animals were abandoned, and her nineteen year

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>old assistant later confessed to the hair brained move. Now

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the con artist who spent four years in prison for

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>stealing two hundred and seventy thousand dollars from friends and

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>businesses to fund her lavish lifestyle, is claiming she's receiving

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>a whole fur ball of death threats over the kerfuffle.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>In a desperate tailspin to save face, she's reportedly coughed

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 2>up a donation of one thousand bucks to a rabbit rescue.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>This whole ordeal leaves a pawful lot of questions about

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>her judgment, proving once again that she is still not

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>who she said she is, and she's still dealing and

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of bunny business Nancy.
