00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Crime Alart, hourly update, breaking crime news. Now, I'm Jennifer Gould.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: He couldn't live without hers, so he made sure no

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: one else could. That's the chilling motive behind the senseless

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: execution of eighteen year old ballerina Emily Finn, who was

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: allegedly murdered by her heartbroken ex boyfriend Austin Lynch. What

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: began as high school puppy love dissolved into a possessive,

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: deadly rage when Lynch, shattered by the breakup, turned what

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a simple hand off of belongings

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: into a bloodbath. Emily's friend, Maya Toath spoke to CBS

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: to New York. I can't believe this happened to hurt.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: She didn't deserve that. I'm good, miss so much. The

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: savage scene unfolded around eleven ten am in Wisconsin, New York,

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: just days after Thanksgiving. Finn, a s U n Y freshman,

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: had returned home from break and stopped by Lynch's home

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: on Shenandoah Boulevard to return the last remnants of their

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: three and a half year romance. Lynch, a marine recruit

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: whose eighteenth birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day, allegedly greeted her

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: active closure with extreme violence. Suffolk County authorities report he

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: retrieved a legally owned twelve gage shotgun and fired two

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: deadly rounds, killing the Sayville High School graduate instantly. He

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: then allegedly turned the weapon on himself in a botched

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: murder suicide attempt. Lynch's parents, home at the time, heard

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: the blasts and made the frantic nine one one call. Finn,

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a beloved dancer who had returned home from college for break,

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: was pronounced dead at the scene. Lynch survived his self

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: inflicted wound and was rushed to Stonybrook University Hospital, where

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: he remains in critical but stable condition under police guard.

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Suffolk County authorities confirmed he faces second degree murder charges.

29
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: The Suffolk County DA's office said he would be arraigned

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: as an adult once medically cleared. The couple split was

31
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: reportedly prompted by diverging paths, Finn leaving for college at

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: State University of New York while Lynch had recently enlisted

33
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: in the Marines. Tributes of pink ribbons, Finn's favorite color,

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: adorn the trees outside her dance studio. Her dance instructors

35
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: announced that this year's production of The Nutcracker, where Finn

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: once starred, will be dedicated to her memory. For the

Speaker 1: More crime and justice news after this. The Panic nine

41
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,279
Speaker 1: to one one Call was a calcul related performance designed

42
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: to mask a cold blooded killing. Saw Garcia Gonzalez, a

43
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: forty year old landscaper in Florida, play the role of

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: the distraught boyfriend for days after his live in partner,

45
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old Narta Martel, vanished, a deliberate charade

46
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: that ended the moment her lifeless body was recovered from

47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a South Florida canal. So you're charged with second degree murder.

48
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Martel's impending independence tragically became the catalyst for her murder

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: authorities belief she wanted to finally terminate the abusive relationship

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: she had been enduring Garcia Gonzalez's alleged verbal abuse, and

51
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: was actively seeking a safe sanctuary for herself and their

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: two year old daughter just twenty four hours before she

53
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: disappeared on October sixth. This clear signal that Martel was

54
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: ready to bolt from her tormentor seemingly ignited his fatal rage.

55
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: As family and friends pressed for answers, Garcia Gonzalez concocted

56
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: a bizarre cover story. He claimed Martel might have been

57
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, a theory investigators

58
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: quickly debunked. He finally filed a missing person report on

59
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: October ninth, three days after his alleged crime. Two days later,

60
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: on October eleventh, Martel's corpse was found floating in a

61
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: canal near southwest one hundred and sixty eighth Street and

62
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: Southwest two hundred and fifth Avenue. The Medical Examiner's Office

63
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: later confirmed the herrowing truth. Martel had been executed by

64
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: a single gunshot wound to the head. Detectives from the

65
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Miami Dade Sheriff's Office swiftly dismantled Garcia Gonzalez's shifting narratives.

66
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: Cell Phone data proved damning, showing he traveled repeatedly to

67
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: and from the remote canal location at the critical time,

68
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: directly contradicting his claim of last seeing her at a

69
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: bus stop. Furthermore, surveillance footage captured his car operating in

70
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the precise area of the gruesome discovery. Confronted with overwhelming evidence,

71
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Garcia Gonzalez was arrested on November twenty sixth and charged

72
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: with second degree murder. Though he denied the slang and

73
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: waived his right to legal counsel, a judge ordered him

74
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: held without bond. Their young daughter is now secure with

75
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: relatives and finally talk about a reverse commute. MICHAELA. Copeland,

76
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: thirty two, is facing criminal charges and a massive thirteen

77
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars fine because she allegedly committed the ultimate tubesin

78
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: walking the wrong way on a railway station escalator. The

79
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Greenwich woman was slapped with the shocking charge after being spotted.

80
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: She's accused of using the moving staircase in a direction

81
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: quote other than intended for travel end quote, which is

82
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: a serious breach of local railway by laws. Apparently, Copeland

83
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty, despite surveillance video catching the daring two step.

84
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: This commuter clearly thought the law was going nowhere, but

85
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: the police showed up, stepped up and told her not

86
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: to walk this way. For the latest crime and justice news,
