00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Crime Alart hourly update, breaking crime news.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: Now.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jennifer Gould. A change in theory by the FBI

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: about the forty two year old US Army veteran who

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers in

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: New Orleans on New Year's Day. Here's Christopher Rea with

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: the FBI's counter Terrorism Division at the news conference.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 3: First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point.

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: an evil act. But at this point, currently, and this

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: is another position on another fact I want to be

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: clear on, we do not assess at this point that

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: anyone else involved in this attack is involved in this

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: attack except for shamsu Din Jabbar, the subject you've already

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: been briefed on.

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Initially, authorities suspected that shamsu Din Jabbar had accomplices to

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: orchestrate the attack. Jabbar, who was shot killed by police

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: after firing on officers, steered a rented truck around a

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: police blockade and onto the sidewalk early Wednesday morning, plowing

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: into pedestrians celebrating on Bourbon Street. The rampage turned the

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: festive area of the French Quarter into a scene of devastation,

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: with victims left bloodied and mangled and others scrambling for safety.

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: The FBI has labeled the attack a premeditated act of terrorism,

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: saying Jabbar was one hundred percent inspired by the Islamic

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: State group. Investigators found an Islamic State flag on the

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: truck and discovered multiple improvised explosives, including remote detonated pipe

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: bombs hidden in Cooler's. Authorities are also reviewing five videos

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Jabbar posted on Facebook in the hours before the attack,

29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: in which he pledged his support for the extremist group

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: and hinted at the violence he would soon unleash. In

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the past, he'd also posted about himself on YouTube. Here's

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: a video that was uploaded back in twenty nineteen.

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: Good evening, I'm Shampster dain JABORI So, I'm born and

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 4: raised in Beaumont, Texas, and now live in Houston. And

35
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: I've been here all my life, with the exception of

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: traveling for the military, where I spent ten years as

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: a human resources specialist and IT specialist, where I learned

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: the meaning of great service and what it means to

39
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: be responsive and take everything seriously. Dotting I's and crossing

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 4: t's to make sure that things go off without a hit.

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Jabbar, who served in the US Army from twenty seven

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, had rented the truck in Houston on

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: December thirtieth and drove it to New Orleans the following night.

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Investigators are now focused on understanding how Jabbar became radicalized

45
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: and what led him to carry out the deadly attack.

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Reports say he originally wanted to annihilate his family and

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: friends to lure them to a celebration where he'd kill them,

48
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: but Jabbar changed his mind because he was concerned the

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: news headlines would not focus on the quote believers and

50
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the disbelievers end quote. New Orleans officials say that mechanical

51
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: barricades and bullards on Bourbon Street were not functioning and

52
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: were being replaced ahead of the Super Bowl in February.

53
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: In their place, police cars and other barriers were placed

54
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: at parts of Bourbon Street, but the attacker drove onto

55
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: the sidewalk to evade the barriers and slam into crowds

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: of people. Bourbon Street was closed off for hours as

57
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: authorities processed the horrific crime scene, which was littered with

58
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: bodies and debris. The area has now been cleared and

59
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: businesses have resumed operations. The attack also led to the

60
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: postponement of the Sugar Bowl at the nearby super Dome,

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: but that will now be played. Some of the victims'

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: names are also now being released. They are Martin tiger

70
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: more were injured in the attack and hospitalized. In the meantime.

71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Officials ask if you have any information or video that

72
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: can help in this investigation. They urge you to call

73

Speaker 2: life at the beginning of the year. This is a

00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,600

00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 5: I'm Nicole Parton. An update on a missing toddler we

115
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: brought to you earlier. In Fayette County, Alabama. New court

116
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 5: documents released on Tuesday shed light on the serious charges

117
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: facing Wendy Pamelap Bailey of a missing toddler. These documents

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: allege that Bailey failed to report known instances of child

119
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: abuse inflicted upon her fifteen month old son, Caleb Collins,

120
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 5: this by his father, Stephen Bailey Collins in July twenty four.

121
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 5: The filings claimed that Bailey exhibited a blatant disregard for

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: Caleb's safety, neglecting to intervene during two separate instances of

123
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: severe abuse, which involved methods such as binding him with

124
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: rope and physically assaulting him, leaving visible injuries. The documents

125
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 5: indicate that there is photographic evidence to support these allegations.

126
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: Other charges include abuse of corpse. The documents describe how

127
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Caleb's remains were handled in a manner deemed shocking to

128
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: social norms following his death. His body was reportedly placed

129
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: in a bag and stored in an outdoor shed for

130
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: a period of time before being disposed in an undisclosed location. Additionally,

131
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: the court record's detailed incidents involving domestic violence, including a

132
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: concerning text from Stephen Collins to Bailey in which he

133
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: threatened to kill Caleb. This was accompanied by disturbing photographs

134
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: of the child, showing him hanging from a rope and

135
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: displaying blood on his body. Reportedly, Collin's messages included apologies

136
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 5: and indications of the child's condition, to which Bailey responded

137
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: with remarks suggesting she believed Caleb was merely tired and hurt.

138
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: As the investigation continues, The Sheriff's office has been actively

139
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,600
