1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: You know what, I am very familiar with trash shoots

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: in Manhattan apartment of Buildings. I have a trash hute

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: just like that myself. I don't think there's any way

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: because the trash huote is up at about chest level

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: number one. This woman was partially naked, which defies everything

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: we know about female suicide and what was she Nadia

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Combin needs that she could make a giant leap and

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: go down head first down the trash hute that's only

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: about fourteen inches by fourteen inches. I'm not buying it.

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: This Manhattan woman, come say dies after falling into a

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: trash ute in a luxury apartment, But now they're revising that,

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: saying she may have been strangled to death. Crime Stories

13
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. The building goes by two different names,

14
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: one Irving Plaza and Zecondorf Towers and workers made that

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: grizzly discovery about four thirty this afternoon, the body of

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: a forty eight year old woman, a resident of the building,

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: found stuffed in the building's trash compactor. If they know

18
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: how she got there, police aren't yet, saying crime scene

19
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: investigators got to the second doorf Towers tonight to try

20
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and figure out how the body of a forty eight

21
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: year old woman ended up in a trash compactor in

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: the building. They had the barricades up around in the entrance,

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: and I have never seen twenty detectives wandering around anywhere.

24
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: So it had to be some serious thing with suspicious circumstances,

25
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: because why else or twenty detectives show up. But police

26
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: were not giving many details. Some residents believe the garb

27
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: and shoot is big enough to put a body in,

28
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: and residents did get this email instructing them not to

29
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: use the shoots for the time being. The shoots are

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: now locked shut. You were just hearing our friends at

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: ABC seven Eyewitness News. That was Jim Dolan. I mean, see, Grace,

Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.

33
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: I say, there's no way in h double l that

34
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: a half naked woman is going to jump down a

35
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: trash shoot in New York City. I'm not buying it

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: with me. At All Star Panel, Ashley Wilcot, judge, trial lawyer,

00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: But right now to investigate. Every reporter with the New

43
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: York Post, my favorite newspaper, Tina more. Tina, I mean, really,

44
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: a half naked woman throws herself down a tiny trash shoot.

45
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: Tell me what happens. Start at the beginning, Tina, help

46
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: me make some sense out of this thing. It's really suspicious.

47
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Her death, that was definitely strange, and we're all were

48
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: looking for more. But all the local officials told us

49
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: that there was no south place suspected, so that's sort

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: of where it ended. We were concerned, but obviously her

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: family they really wanted to the want of people, to

52
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: investigators to do more, so they wouldn't got an outside investigator.

53
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Enter renowned pathologist doctor Michael Boden. He's been on many,

54
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: many high profile homicide investigations. He has a completely different

55
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: take on it. He says she may have been asphyxiated.

56
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Listen to our friends at CBS two. This is New

57
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: York reporter Jessica Layton. People who live here say, coming

58
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: home and seeing the NYPD's mobile crime scene unit outside,

59
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: along with getting an email that said don't use the

60
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: trash shoot, we're both pretty good indicators that something pretty

61
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: bad happened here today. The NYPD has been swarming the

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: building for hours after the discovery of a body in

63
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the compactors shoot of Grammercy Tower here at one Irving Place.

64
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Police say just before five o'clock tonight, the body of

65
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: a forty eight year old woman was found in the

66
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: trash compactor. We don't know how she got there or

67
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: who found her. Now. The building has had some pretty

68
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: high profile residence. This is where Anthony Weener and his

69
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: wife Huma Abadeen used to live together. Residents say the

70
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: incident and the police presence have been very alarming. It's scary.

71
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: In fact, when I texted my boyfriend about this, he

72
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: told me to get out of the building because he

73
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: was worried. Police are not releasing the name of the

74
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: woman who died until all of her family members have

75
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: been notified, and at this point tonight, it's unclear whether

76
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: police are searching for a suspect. There have been two

77
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: names linked to her, Laura Prechenko and beginning now Laura Prijotko.

78
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Doctor Boden concludes that she may have died of homicidal

79
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: ligature strangulation, then placed in the garbage shoot. Tina More

80
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: joining me, New York Post reporter, Tina, I mean, there

81
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: are reasons that safety reasons throughout New York City that

82
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: trash utse must be x amount of feet above the

83
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: ground so children don't fall down into them, because say

84
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: you're up on the twenty first floor and then you

85
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: go down to trash, you'd fall to your death. And

86
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: I remember distinctly, you can hardly get anything into them

87
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: because they're so small. You have to cram trash into

88
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: those trash shoots, and that's for a safety reason too.

89
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: These are specifically designed so a person cannot fit down them.

90
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that's why her father wanted to bring

91
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: in doctor Boden, because it's just defied logic how that

92
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: could have happened to get in there, and it was.

93
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: She was on the twenty seventh floor, so she fell

94
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: that far to this, wow, twenty seventh floor down a

95
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: trash shoot. Tina Moore, New York Post reporter. Can you

96
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: tell me was she clothed. They say that she was topless,

97
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,119
Speaker 1: which is really strange. If you're going to your trash

98
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: compact or to put trash in there, that would see

99
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: something most people would do. You know, do Doctor Michelle Dupree,

100
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: South Carolina medical examiner and author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide,

101
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: Doctor Dupree, I don't attempt to explain it. I don't

102
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: understand why or why not. But I do know statistics

103
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: women in general, and this crosses all ethnicities, It crosses

104
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: race barriers, socioeconomic levels, education levels. Women never, or let

105
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: me just say extremely, rarely commit suicide unclothed. Would you agree, Nancy?

106
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: That is true. It is rare. However, as you said,

107
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: it is not never, and there is always an exception.

108
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: So that just in and of itself really doesn't tell

109
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: us a whole lot, but it certainly is an indication

110
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: that this would be very strange. Char Senior producer Jackie

111
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: Howard Jackie Way in Nancy. This is a high rise

112
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: luxury building where Prijenko we're living at the time, and

113
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: others who lived there told police and the New York

114
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Posts that they had seen Prjenko intoxicated in the past. However,

115
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: since the divorce proceedings began, Prijenko was undergoing court mendated testing.

116
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: In their time, all findings came back negative. Take a

117
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at the Daily News. Forty eight

118
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: year old Laura Pricardco's body has been found stuffed inside

119
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: a trash compactor artside an upscale apartment building in New

120
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: York City where Hillary Clinton's top aide whom Abeddon and

121
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: her estranged husband Anthony Weener lived. Pricardco was spotted on

122
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: surveillance videos stumbling a loan out of the elevator on

123
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the Zegedorf Towers twenty seventh floor. It was not immediately

124
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: clear how she got into the trash shoot, but to

125
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: maintenance man discovered her body crushed from multiple angles in

126
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: the compactor. The New York Police Department said Pricardco and

127
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: her husband, davidy Christopher Schlachet, split up after thirteen years

128
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: of marriage. She filed for divorce in twenty fourteen. The

129
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: two have a son. She was a marketing manager for

130
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: web Bendi for about ten years until leaving the company

131
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. According to hurling Tin, Page two people

132
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: who live in the building where Ricardco and her husband

133
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: used to reside. Told The New York Post it appeared

134
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Pricardco had a drinking problem. She would come home drunk

135
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: like she couldn't walk. I don't remember a specific time,

136
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: but I remember many times, more than once a week.

137
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: This was about three years ago, a source said. Several

138
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: residents at Berzekdorff Towers told The New York Post they

139
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: did not know her very well. Pricard Co moved into

140
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: the building about two years ago after splitting from her husband.

141
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. The buildings sent out an email saying

142
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: not to use the trash suite. What a terrible, terrible

143
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: way to go, said a resident. Mister Schlachet did not

144
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: immediately comment on his ex wife's death. A source who

145
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: lives in the apartment building told The New York Post

146
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: they saw Schlatchet and his son on Tuesday before Pricardco

147
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: was identified as the victim. The sauce said the two

148
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: were acting normally, time stories with Nancy Grace. This grieving

149
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: father is certain his daughter's death was no accident. He

150
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: believes she was murdered. I'm dedicated to finding justice for her.

151
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Forty eight year old Laura pra Hodco met a horrible end.

152
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: She plummeted twenty seven stories to her death inside her

153
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: building's trash shoot. Her mangled body was found in the

154
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: basement compactor. Police claims she was drunk. The New York

155
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: City Medical Examiner ruled no suspicion of foul play. Laura's father, Nicholas,

156
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: who lives in Toronto, says he strongly disagrees. I don't

157
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: believe it. I didn't believe it, and I continue not

158
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: to believe it. Nicholas Brahadko says his daughter and her husband,

159
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: David slaw Hit, were divorcing and fighting over millions of

160
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: dollars in real estate. Do you think it's possible that

161
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Laura's estranged husband had something to do with her death.

162
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: It's not something that I could dismiss. Clearly, he had

163
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: the most to gain financially from her death. Usually the

164
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: rule of thumb is to follow the money. Faint pathologist

165
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: Michael Boden, who recently investigated Jeffrey Epstein's death, volunteered to

166
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: reevaluate Laura's autopsy. Baden says she had ligature marks on

167
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,239
Speaker 1: her neck, leading him to believe she may have been strangled.

168
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: And was then thrown down the trash shoot. If it

169
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: wasn't a homicide, could it have been accidental? How is

170
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: it even possible for someone to fall into one of

171
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: these garbage shoots. As you can see, it's designed to

172
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: snap shut if you don't hold it open, and could

173
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: have grown man or woman even fit inside. Now her

174
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: father is hoping to have the case reopened. You are

175
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: hearing or for an inside edition. This is a beautiful woman.

176
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at Lauren pro Jodco, pictured with

177
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: her husband. They looked so happy, but they were divorcing

178
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: at the time of her death. To Tina More, New

179
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: York Post reporter, what can you tell me about the divorce?

180
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: But it was contentious and there was some arguments going

181
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: on over properties. They owned most properties in Southampton and

182
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: Manhattan show. There was definitely a bit of a battle

183
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: going on there. Although her lawyer said she was she

184
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: seemed to be winning. She seemed to be what winning,

185
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: doing well. She was doing well in the case. Yeah,

186
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: then suddenly, bam, she's shoved down a trashy. I'm looking

187
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: at a photo of the trash shoot. It is exactly

188
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: like our trash shoot in New York exactly. It cannot be.

189
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: It can't be two feet wide, and there is a

190
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: reason for that. Safety reasons helped me out. Doctor Bethany Marshall,

191
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: psycho analysts joining us. Doctor Bethany, I mean, here is

192
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: this wealthy lady. She's just like a redhead, perfect smile.

193
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 1: Somebody's had orthodonic work. Why in the world would you

194
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: go half naked out of trash shoote How could you

195
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: cram your own body and less than two feet wide

196
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: opening of a trash hute? Okay, so let's say worst

197
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: case scenario, she lost her diamond earing down the trash

198
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: shoot She a ring fell off, you know, something fair,

199
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: and she's digging and digging and trying to get it.

200
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: She's not going to do that without her top on,

201
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, she's not going to be in the hallway

202
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: of this fancy building where Humandine and Anthony Weener lived.

203
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, waite, I'm inute. Wait

204
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: a minute, doctor Bethany. Back to Utina Moore. I think

205
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: that's one of the first things you said, or did

206
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: I hear that from another news agency. I don't know

207
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: that I'd be bragging about living in the same apartment

208
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: building as Anthony Weiner, the child molester. Huh is that

209
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: his building? That's what he lives at one point? No,

210
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't even think the timing isn't really something clear

211
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: to me. I'm not sure that he was still living

212
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: there when that's happened or not. So I guess right

213
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: now I will have to rule him out as a suspect.

214
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: But that aside, I do know this though, if he

215
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: was living there with his wife, Huma, it must have

216
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: been a really expensive, luxurious apartment building. She had one

217
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: toe in the oval office Tina Moore, What kind of

218
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: high rise was this? Oh, yeah, it's a luxury building.

219
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: It's an ming twere. You know that's not a place

220
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: reporters can afford to love, so you know, it's a nice,

221
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: very nice building. So yeah, it's Zecondorf Towers. And just

222
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: like our much much cheaper apartment building, there is a

223
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: door or leading into it. They're always tiny, tiny room

224
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: like a closet, and in that closet is the trash shoot.

225
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: But back to you, doctor Bethany, just the mental imagery

226
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: they desire to somehow cram yourself head first in a

227
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: two foot why trash shoot alive? That doesn't even make

228
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: any sense to me, Doctor Bethany, There's no way. I mean,

229
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: I cannot think of any scenario. I did think, Hey,

230
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: the diamond earring goes down the trash shoot, you're trying

231
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: to dig for it. But even that is trust unlikely.

232
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: And if she was going to suicide, are she really

233
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: going to suicide by trash trash shoot? What I'd really

234
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: be interested in this case is what is the behavioral

235
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: evidence of what's going on between her and her husband?

236
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: What is the nature of the finances. Forty four percent

237
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: of all crimes are as a result of life or

238
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: in spots over property and money, Like, how did that

239
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: enter into all of this? What was her state of

240
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: mind because of the divorce? Was she an unstable person?

241
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Did she have a history of trying to harm herself?

242
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: Was she a cutter? You know, if this is a

243
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: woman who was completely stable, enjoying her life and together

244
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: enough psychologically to be prevailing in some kind of a

245
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: court proceeding against her husband, that would not fit the

246
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: profile of someone who's suicidal. Also, I'd want to know

247
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: was she making future plans, like when she talked to

248
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: her girlfriends and her children, was she making references to

249
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: the future and to planning vacations. Because if that's the

250
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: case and she wasn't impulsive and she wasn't aggressive, then

251
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: since it's hard to believe that she would try to

252
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: kill herself anyway besides in a trash shoot, take a

253
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at Daily Mail Justice for my

254
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: favorite daughter. Nicholas Brehatco has been seeking justice for a

255
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: year and a half. In July twenty eighteen, his daughter

256
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Lara was found at the bottom of a trash shoot,

257
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: crushed for multiple goals by the trash compactor. She had

258
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: to be pulled out of the rubble with a shovel.

259
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: Because there was little blood, it would suggest she was

260
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: dead before she went down That trash shoot. Investigator said

261
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: she was last seen alive, stumbling and intoxicated, and the

262
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: six months leading up to her desk she had been

263
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: clean on all sobriety tests. The chief medical Examiner said

264
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: the circumstances around the death are unclear, but there is

265
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: no suspicion of foul play. In two months after her death,

266
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: the case was closed with no resolution. Lara's father, Nicholas,

267
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: was not satisfied and hired doctor Michael Boden to review

268
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: the autopsy. You'll recall Doctor Boden controversially claimed Jeffrey Epstein's

269
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: suicide may have been murdered. In a letter to Lara's family,

270
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: doctor Boden wrote, Lara may have died because of homicidal

271
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: ligature strangulation and was then placed in the garbage shoot.

272
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: Doctor Boden was also concerned about the fact that Lara

273
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: was topless in the crime scene photos. There's no surveillance

274
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: video from the hallway outside Lara's apartment where the trash

275
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: shoot was located. The forty eight year old was embroiled

276
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: in a bitter divorce and lost custody of her son.

277
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: She was also required to undergo regular drug and alcohol testing.

278
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Her husband owned a debt ridden construction company, and the

279
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: pair had purchased property together. I think there's further digging

280
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: that couldn't be done follow the money. Clara's father is

281
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: hiring a private investigator to help uncover new evidence in

282
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: his daughter's death. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, I mean,

Speaker 1: Investigative reporter with The New York Post, my favorite newspaper.

294
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: Tina Moore, Tina, take a listen to this. Our friends

295
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: at CBS, people who live here say, coming home and

296
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: seeing the NYPD's mobile crime scene unit outside, along with

297
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: getting an email that said don't use the trash shoot,

298
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: we're both pretty good indicators that something pretty bad happened

299
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: here today. The NYPD has been swarming the building for

300
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: hours after the discovery of a body in the compactor

301
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: shoot Grammercy Tower here at one Irving Place. Police say,

302
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: just before five o'clock tonight, the body of a forty

303
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: eight year old woman was found in the trash compactor.

304
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: We don't know how she got there or who found her. Now,

305
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: the building has had some pretty high profile residence. This

306
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: is where Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Aberdeen used

307
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: to live together. Residents say the incident and the police

308
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: presidents have been very alarming. It's scary. In fact, when

309
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: I texted my boyfriend about this, he told me to

310
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: get out of the building because he was married. Police

311
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: are not releasing the name of the woman who died

312
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: until all of her family members have been notified, and

313
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: at this point tonight, it's unclear whether police are searching

314
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: for a suspect. Now, I've had very few, if any

315
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: opportunities to disagree with a renowned medical examiner and author,

316
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: doctor Michelle Dupree, But I now have some backup because

317
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: renowned pathologist doctor Michael Boden, He's been on many, many

318
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: high profile ale homicide investigations. He has a completely different

319
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: take on it. He says that striangulation may have been

320
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: the reason why there was very little bleeding from Protoco's

321
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: body when it went down the shoot and was crushed.

322
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: He also was concerned about Laura being topless in the

323
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: crime scene photo. Quote. One of the first things he

324
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: said was that her blouse was off. This is according

325
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: to family. Biden felt that was extremely unusual and a

326
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: potential indication of a struggle before she died. Take a

327
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at pis E eleven. This is

328
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: Henry Rossoff. Police rushed to one Irving Place yesterday evening

329
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: after a maintenance worker made a horrible discovery in the

330
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: compactor room. Armed with a shovel, they recovered the remains

331
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: of forty eight year old Laura Praichenko, described by Dorman

332
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: as someone who was always pleasant and treated them with respect.

333
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: She lived on the twenty seventh floor and had arrived

334
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: back to the building only a few minutes before her

335
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: body was found. I means something terrible. It's something shocking.

336
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: It's not clear to you know this is would happened.

337
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 1: It's very unfortunate though. It's very unsettling, especially that is

338
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: coming so close to home. Surveillance video shows her walking

339
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: the hallways before entering the trash room on the twenty

340
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: seventh floor. She somehow appears to have gone down the

341
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: chuote into the compactor. Neighbors familiar with the building set

342
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: up say they're not really sure how that could have happened.

343
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's small shooting. I mean, I don't know

344
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: how you do it. I mean it never occurred to me,

345
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: and try to go into the barbage shot. So let

346
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: me clarify. Video footage shows Laura entering the elevator at

347
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: four ten, and a neighbor on the twenty seventh floor

348
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: claims she returned to her own apartment. They came out

349
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: ten minutes later when she heard a noise in the hallway.

350
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the video shows her going into the

351
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: trash shoot. I think it shows her coming in and

352
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: out of the elevator before she went into the trash shoot.

353
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: Let me get clarification on that. To New York Post

354
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: reporter Tina Moore, what do we know about the video? Well,

355
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: two of my coworkers were a story in our Sunday paper.

356
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: But her dad said that there was no footage of

357
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: her entering the shoot, and there's no video in the

358
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: hallway at all. Video camera the halliway, So I don't

359
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: know if that the initial reportments just wrong because the

360
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: dad says, no, there's no videoway the video showed her.

361
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: If there was such a video, would it probably instead

362
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: be explaining what you see instead of saying there's not

363
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: any video, you know, I want to go to chief

364
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: of police one of Robins, Georgia, Chief John Wagner. You

365
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: heard doctor Bethany state that forty four percent of crimes

366
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: are based on possessions money finances. I happen to know

367
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: that in this case, Laura's estranged husband owned a struggling

368
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: debt ridden construction company that had filed bankruptcy the same

369
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: year he filed for divorce. Would you, as I do,

370
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: consider this a critical piece of information most certainly so. Um,

371
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, he still wants to have a living and

372
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't want her to have all of the the assets,

373
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: so you go ahead and for bankruptcy, and then perhaps

374
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: you go ahead and pay off while your debts. She

375
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: does not get the money then, so yes, it's very

376
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: peculiar that he would go hid and you know, go

377
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: ahead and fill for bankruptcy in regards to this. Yeah,

378
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: she's the one with the money. So if what you

379
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: add what doctor Bethany are saying is true, that could

380
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: provide a very powerful motive. He has not been named

381
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: a suspect or a person of interest in this case.

382
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: We also know actually Willcott Judge and trial lawyer anchor

383
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Court TV that the two of them owned a lot

384
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: of properties together, and almost immediately after his wife's death,

385
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: he the estranged husband in the middle of a divorce,

386
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: sold one property and started renting out another. My that

387
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: was quick, wasn't it. Yeah. There's a lot of pointing

388
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: to a motive in this case, and that's one of them,

389
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: because they had multiple properties. Like you said, I want

390
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: to point out, she had a lot of money. This

391
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: is not a situation where she had nothing. He had

392
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: all the money. He starts selling things in order to

393
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: prevent her from getting it. My opinion is, hey, he's

394
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: selling these things for him to get money because he's

395
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: in financial trouble. He knows that she stands to benefit

396
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: to get to keep a lot of lam Keith, but

397
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: to have a lot of the money, and he's trying

398
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: to get at it. It gives the motive as to

399
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: why he may have killed her, if in fact he did.

400
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: There's also something I want to point out about the

401
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: real estate, which you know, when you get married, you

402
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: should go into it and say we're in love, we're

403
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: going to be married. It's all good, but recognize this.

404
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: All of these properties it's my understanding we're held jointly

405
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: by both of them, and if she's no longer there,

406
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier. You don't go through divorce to

407
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: get the property, but rather it becomes yours time stories

408
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. This grieving father is certain his daughter's

409
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: death was no accident. He believed she was murdered. I'm

410
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: dedicated to finding justice for her. Forty eight year old

411
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Laura pa Hodco met a horrible end. She plummeted twenty

412
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: seven stories to her death inside her building's trash shoot.

413
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: Her mangled body was found in the basement compactor. Police

414
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: claim she was drunk. The New York City Medical Examiner

415
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: ruled no suspicion of foul play. Laura's father, Nicholas, who

416
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: lives in Toronto, says he strongly disagrees. I don't believe it.

417
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: I didn't believe it, and I continue not to believe it.

418
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: Nicholas Brahadko says his daughter and her husband, David slaw Hit,

419
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: were divorcing and fighting over millions of dollars in real estate.

420
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: Do you think it's possible that Laura's estranged husband had

421
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: something to do with her death It's not something that

422
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: I could dismiss. Clearly he had the most to gain

423
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: financially from her death. Usually the rule of thumb is

424
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: to follow the money. Fame pathologist Michael Boden, who recently

425
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: investigated Jeffrey Epstein's death, volunteered to reevaluate Laura's autopsy. Baden

426
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: says she had ligature marks on her neck, leading him

427
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: to believe she may have been strangled and was then

428
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: thrown down the trash shoot. If it wasn't a homicide,

429
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: could it have been accidental? How is it even possible

430
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: for someone to fall into one of these garbage shoots?

431
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: As you can see, it's signing to snap shot if

432
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: you don't pulled it open, and could have grown man

433
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: or woman even fit inside. Now her father is hoping

434
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: to have the case reopened. You are hearing or for

435
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: an inside edition. This is a beautiful woman. I'm taking

436
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: a look at Laura Prochotco pictured with her husband. They

437
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: looked so happy, but they were divorcing at the time

438
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: of her death. Let's take a look at his finances.

439
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Laura Prochoco's ex construction exact. David Schlache was co founder

440
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: of Tao Khan Inc. A construction company. The company owed

441
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: more than three point four million dollars to creditors and

442
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: assets were about five hundred thousand ouch. I know that

443
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: from documents filed in bankruptcy court. That same year he

444
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: files for a divorce. These two traveled in high society.

445
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: They were seen throughout Manhattan social circuit and the Hamptons.

446
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Their wedding was announced by the New York Times. Now

447
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: they end up in mediation to divide up properties that

448
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: have got a home in the Hamptons apartments in Chelsea

449
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: and Williamsburg at the time that she fell to her death.

450
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Now we also know another clue that her pocketbook was

451
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: found abandoned out on the floor, wasn't around the trash shoot.

452
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to Teina Moore, New York Post reporter,

453
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: if she was gonna kill herself, why take her pocketbook

454
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: right right? And it was outside the trash shoot in

455
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: the hallway on the floor. So I don't know, but

456
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: I five her mental stake goes. It's probably important to

457
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: point out that she had lost cut to be a

458
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: patrol son, so you know, so probably I'm sure he

459
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: was on progn hobby about that fact. So we also

460
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: know that the husband immediately took control of their shared property,

461
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: selling the Toronto condo for seven hundred grand and renting

462
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: another home for seventy five thousand dollars a month. Seventy

463
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a month. Okay, what about that, doctor

464
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall Nancy. When I read that they keep rented

465
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: a place for seventy five thousand dollars a month, I

466
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: was blown away. I would love to see the inside

467
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: of this place. But you know, often when there's domestic homicide,

468
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: the spouse that kills the victim does so because they

469
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: want an idealized life. They think that once that other

470
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: person is out of the way, their life, their romantic opportunities,

471
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: their financial opportunities are going to improve. And if Ben

472
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: deep that was a motivation in this crime, or this

473
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: alleged crime, could it be that the husband wanted access

474
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: to all of that property. As Ashley Woodcot just pointed out,

475
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: it was in both of their names. It's like he

476
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: started with the idealized life right away. It's like the

477
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: husband who kills his wife and then he's sort of

478
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: glad handing at the funeral and you know, acting happy

479
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: and believed. We do know after domestic homicide there's often

480
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: a period of relief that lasts from six to nine months.

481
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: And so in terms of behavioral evidence, I would want

482
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: to know a little bit about how is he acting?

483
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: Is he dating? Is he purchasing a lot of items?

484
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Did he start to decorate the seventy five thousand dollars

485
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: a month's place right away? Like? What is his behavior

486
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: following the tragic death of his wife. We also know

487
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: to Ashley Wilcot judge and trial may either just before

488
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: her death, according to her father, Nicholas Prochoco, that the

489
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: financial talks were turning and her her favor. What a

490
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: coincidence that she somehow ends up dead in the trash

491
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: shute just as she's about to get the majority of

492
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: the money. Yeah, exactly right. So here's the other part.

493
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Not only that, it's my understanding, there's a twelve year

494
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: old that custody was also an issue of. And so

495
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: when you have those, you know, parents with custy of

496
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: a children in addition to those other facts and coincidentally

497
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: right that that happened, then you have a whole other

498
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: set of motives. Potentially, we wait as justice unfalls right now,

499
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: the Manhattan DA has done nothing as far as seeking charges.

500
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: But to Tinamore, New York Post reporter, I assume the

501
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: DA is still sires vanc He's the one that wouldn't

502
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: bring a case against Weinstein, right well, Dring decided that

503
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: I would. I think two months that it was not

504
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: nothing suspicious about her death. But her dad has hired

505
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: day you know, produate investigators, So you never know, right,

506
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: you know you're right, You never know. Tina More, New
