1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Crime Alert. I'm John Lemley. We begin this hour with 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: a compelling development out of Hurricane Idaho, where authorities have 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: taken the rare step of reopening a cold case that 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: has puzzled investigators for more than half a century. Police 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: with the Washington County Sheriff's Office say they are preparing 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: to exhume human remains buried in a local cemetery, remains 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: belonging to an unidentified woman discovered in nineteen seventy and 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: long known only as Jane Doe. At the time of 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: her discovery, the woman's cause of death was ruled undetermined, 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: and she was laid to rest with a simple marker 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: identifying her as an unknown. The case was investigated sporadically 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: over the years, including a twenty fourteen attempt to recover 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: her DNA, but that effort ultimately failed when no remains 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: were found during excavation. Now, detectives have petitioned a judge 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: for a new you warrant and are moving forward with 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: plans to exhume the burial side again, this time with 17 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: modern forensic science on their side. Advances in DNA technology 18 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: and access to national missing person databases give investigators renewed 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: hope that Jane Doe can finally be identified. Records indicate 20 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: that prior excavation efforts may not have gone deep enough 21 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: to reach the actual burial site, leading authorities to believe 22 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: the remains may still be intact beneath the surface. With 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: assistance from the National Cold Case Coalition, law enforcement hopes 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: to collect viable DNA samples that could provide closure for 25 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: surviving relatives whose loved ones disappeared decades ago. The Sheriff's 26 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: office says the exhumation will take place in the coming weeks, 27 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: marking a significant moment in one of the longest running 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: cold cases in Utah's history. 29 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: Thanks John for the latest crime and justice needs.

The suspect and that attack, identified 41 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: previously as Claudio Nevis Vilenti, a former graduate student at 42 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: the university, is also believed to have fatally shot an 43 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: MIT professor Nuno Lereo days after the campus attack. Vilenti 44 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: was later found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire. 45 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Providence City officials say portions of the recordings were withheld 46 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: to avoid showing more graphic content, but the material release 47 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: sheds light on the chaotic police response, including moments when 48 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: officers mistook a maintenance worker for a potential suspect. Providence 49 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: Mayor Brett Smiley noted the difficult balance between transparency and 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: protecting those affected by the tragedy, which occurred during a 51 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: final exam period on campus. Authorities continue to urge anyone 52 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: with additional video or information from the day of the 53 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: incident to come forward. Turning now to Georgia, jury selection 54 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: has begun in the high profile trial of Colin Gray, 55 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the father of Colt Gray, the teenager accused of carrying 56 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: out a deadly school shooting at Appalachi High School in 57 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: September twenty twenty four, Gray faces twenty nine charges in 58 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: including second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and multiple counts of 59 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: cruelty to children. Prosecutors allege he knowingly provided his son 60 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: access to the firearm used in the attack, despite being 61 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: aware of his mental health struggles and fascination with other 62 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: school shootings. The shooting in Barrow County left two students 63 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: and two teachers dead and injured nine others. Authorities say 64 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: Colin Gray, then fourteen, meticulously planned the attack, bringing an 65 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: assault style rifle into the school and opening fire. Gray 66 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: remains in custody on a five hundred thousand dollars bond 67 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: and is expected to stand trial over several weeks. The 68 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: case is part of a broader national trend of prosecutors 69 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: holding adults accountable for enabling access to deadly weapons used 70 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: in mass shootings. Finally, in Washington, d C, newly released 71 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: federal records are find the government's investigation into the late 72 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to Internal Justice Department documents, the 73 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: FBI found no credible evidence that Epstein maintained a quote 74 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: client list or operated a sex trafficking ring involving powerful 75 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: or prominent men. Investigators say reviews of financial records, seize materials, 76 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: and witness interviews did not support claims of an organized 77 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: trafficking operation. The files reaffirmed that Epstein committed serious federal 78 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: sex crimes, but prosecutors concluded there was insufficient admissible evidence 79 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: to charge other individuals. Allegations of third party involvement could 80 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: not be independently cooperated. The documents also state investigators never 81 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: recovered a secret client list during searches conducted before or 82 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: after Epstein's twenty nineteen death in federal custody. 83 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: Thanks John for the latest crime in justice news.
