33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: The suspect, Warren Luther Alexander, has been arranged on multiple

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: murder charges following a breakthrough in the investigation through the

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: Houston DNA technology. This according to the Ventura County District

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 2: Attorney's Office. Alexander, a resident of Diamondhead, Mississippi, was extradited

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: to California after being apprehended in Surrey County, North Carolina,

38
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: where he was facing charges in another decades old murder case.

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: From nineteen ninety two. The California cases involved the tragic

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: deaths of three women, all of whom were sex workers

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: in Ventura County and were found dead in nineteen seventy seven.

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,200

44

Speaker 2: and twenty one year old Lorraine Rodriguez. The investigation took

45
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: a significant turn last year when DNA evidence linked Alexander

46
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: to the murders. The match was made after the DNA

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: was uploaded to a national database, leading authorities to Alexander,

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: who had been identified as a suspect through investigative genealogy

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: in a separate North Carolina case. In that case, Alexander

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: is accused of the murder of twenty nine year old

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: Nona Cobb, whose body was discovered along Interstate seventy seven.

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: Alexander was arrested for Cobb's murder in March twenty twenty two,

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: though that case has yet to go to trial. Authorities

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: revealed that Alexander had ties to Oxnart, having lived there

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: during the nineteen fifties and sixties and returned to the

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: area in the nineteen seventies.

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: During the time of the alleged murders, Alexander worked as

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: a cross country truck driver, a job he held into

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: the early nineteen nineties. Now to a recent court filing

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: in Alabama in which a corrections officer detailed the nation's

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 3: first nitrogen gas execution, revealing unexpected observations about the inmates

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: blood oxygen levels. Once again crime Online Sydney Sumner.

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: The officer noted that the inmate, Kenneth Smith, maintained normal

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: oxygen levels longer than anticipated before they abruptly dropped. Another

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: document indicated that the nitrogen gas flowed for at least

66
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: ten minutes during the execution. These filings provide new insights

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: into the execution of Smith, the first person to be

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: put to death using nitrogen gas. Alabama Attorney General Steve

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: Marshall's office argues that the high oxygen reading suggests Smith

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: held his breath as the nitrogen gas flowed, prolonging the execution. However,

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: attorneys for another inmate contend that the state has no

72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: evidence to support this claim, accusing it of trying to

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: justify a botched execution. Media witnesses, including the associated Press

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: reported that Smith convulsed on the gurney for several minutes

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: before gasping for breath. Alabama has assured a federal judge

76
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 2: that the new method would include quick unconsciousness and death.

77
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: As Alabama prepares for more nitrogen gas executions, controversy surrounds

78
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: the method's efficacy and reliability. A federal judge is set

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 2: to hear arguments on a motion to block the planned

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: nitrogen gas execution of Alan Miller in September, which would

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: be the second of its kind in the nation.

82
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: Media witnesses, including our friends with the Associated Press, reported

83
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: that Smith convultsed on the gurney for several minutes before

84
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: gasping for breath. Alabama had assured a federal judge that

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: the new method would induce quick unconsciousness and death.
