10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,320

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: a Friday, a call comes into nine one one. The

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: caller says there appears to be an injured person outside

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,840

Speaker 3: missed calls, texts, and email messages.

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: With all that evidence, it seems so hard to comprehend.

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: We still don't have Amber's answers as to what happened

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: to this gorgeous young co ed. Joining me an all

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: star panel to make sense of what we know right now,

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: including Amber's mother, her sister, and her very best friend.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I want to go straight out first, to Amber's mother,

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Michelle Robinson, when did you learn that Amber had passed away?

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: I just started work bag bag big, I said, you go.

29
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: So I crossed the group and a little bit barged

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: away in. He said, uh, we're investigating homicide Amber Pavilion.

31
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 4: I said homicide, but over my head, I said, Amber,

32
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: where's she? Where's she? One of us said she's been shot.

33
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm like what? And she grabbed my arm. She's right,

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: he said no. I want to fall back and said.

35
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: No and.

36
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: Asked to be questions. I couldn't think straight. I needed

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: to pull my mother. My mom was on her way Pennsylvania,

38
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: I said, mom. The officer took the phone. I couldn't die.

39
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: It was a nightmare.

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: Since also with miss Robinson is amber sister Amanda. Amanda,

41
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: when did you learn that your sister? She's absolutely beautiful

42
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: and so much ahead of her in life? When did

43
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you learn that she had been killed.

44
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: I was at work. I had gotten a few phone

45
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: calls throughout the night. I was waitressing at the time,

46
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: and it was a busy Friday night and I didn't

47
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: answer my phone. So at the end of my shift,

48
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 5: I I finally picked up my phone and it was

49
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: my uncle and told me that she had been shot.

50
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 5: And I didn't think I didn't think it was possible

51
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: other than you know, like maybe she was in the hospital.

52
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: So I was just like, well, where is she, how

53
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: is she doing? And he just said, I'm sorry, honey,

54
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 5: she's gone.

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: What went through your mind when you heard the phrase,

56
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, honey, she's gone. It was.

57
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: Not comprehendible. I just kind of like fell to the ground.

58
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: There were still customers in the restaurant and nobody knew

59
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: what was going on. And my coworkers just kind of

60
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 5: picked me up and helped me out the back door,

61
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: and you know, trying to figure out what was happening,

62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: and I just, you know, blurted it out.

63
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: My sister was shot. She's dead, And.

64
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: You know, they just helped me pull myself together and

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: get home and get to my dad. And it's like

66
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: my mother said, it's been a nightmare ever since.

67
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: When you first learned, Amanda that Amber had been shot,

68
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: in your mind, what did you think had happened?

69
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 6: I had no idea.

70
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: You know, there were so many different things that could

71
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 5: have you know, we're going through my mind. I just

72
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: quick got home and you know, packed my stuff and

73
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: headed down to South Carolina to try to figure out

74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: out and to make sense of any funny bit of that.

75
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Also joining us, in addition to Amber's mother and sister,

76
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: her best friend Karen Ritchie. Karen described for us when

77
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: you learned Amber had been killed.

78
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 7: Someone at the scene recognized Amber and called my manager.

79
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 8: At overtime and told him, and they called me in

80
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 8: the office and.

81
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: Told me.

82
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 8: It was unbelievable shot her. And that's what they said

83
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 8: in the beginning. And you know, he spends because the

84
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 8: New world to do something like that. It took me

85
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 8: a few minutes to get together to be able to

86
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 8: drive home. And it's just been unbelievable ever since, because

87
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 8: it's just like one dad and after another.

88
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Karen Ritchie is joining us, Amanda Barbilia and Michelle Robinson.

89
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Let me understand, Karen, when you were first told that

90
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Amber had been killed, what did you believe happened? In

91
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: your heart of hearts? When I was first told my

92
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: fiance was dead, I thought there had been some horrible

93
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: car crash, some accident, That's what I thought. Then I

94
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: found out he had been shot. And I couldn't even

95
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: imagine a scenario under which that would happen. Neither one

96
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: of us owned a gun, nobody had a gun in

97
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: their home, So how was he shot? But I was

98
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: in such shock, I didn't think it through. When you

99
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: first heard this news that Amber had been shot? What

100
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: did you think happened? And I have a reason for asking,

101
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: go ahead.

102
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 7: Well, you know, like something random, or possibly a robbery

103
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 7: or something to that effect. I mean, it just didn't

104
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 7: make any sense. She didn't hurt anybody. It didn't make

105
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 7: any sense that anybody hurt her. She was the most scary,

106
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 7: hearing person. She had such a spirit in aura.

107
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: I just couldn't wrap my head around that anybody would

108
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: want to hurt her for any reason.

109
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Just days away from graduating college, her life cut down,

110
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: found underneath and overpass her car, still running, her fingertips

111
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: near her cell phone, which was buzzing, buzzing off the chart.

112
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: What more do we know? Listen.

113
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 9: First responders find a female victim wine outside her still

114
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 9: running car. Injuries to her face are so severe at

115
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 9: first glance it appears she has been shot in the face.

116
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 9: The woman has died before help arrives, and no witnesses

117
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 9: are around to provide any context for what has taken place.

118
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 9: Investigators find the victim's purse inside the car with money

119
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 9: still in it, and rule out robbery as a motive.

120
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 9: They also find the victim's identification, Amber Burbilia joining us.

121
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: US in addition to Ambery Burbilia's family, Michelle Robinson, Amanda Barbilia,

122
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: her sister and best friend, Karen Ritchie. Barry Hutchinson Senior

123
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: now joining US twenty six years in law enforcement, veteran

124
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: detective now chief investigator with Barry and associates. Barry Hutchison,

125
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us well. Immediately, police rule

126
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: out robbery because her purse, her pocketbook is still there,

127
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: her cell phone is still there. There's money in the purse,

128
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: so it's not robbery. We also see that she's outside

129
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: of the car, so it's not a random drive by shooting.

130
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: She's outside the car.

131
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 10: What do you think I think it was somebody that

132
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 10: was that she was familiar with. I think it was

133
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 10: a crime of opportunity. My first instinct is telling me

134
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 10: that it's probably somebody that had romantic answers in her,

135
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 10: but they weren't reciprocated, and I think it was a

136
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 10: crime of passion. From that standpoint, what.

137
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: More can we deduce from the scene? Listen?

138
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 11: Hory County Police Detective Jonathan Martin says, Amber Rebilia's body

139
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 11: is found along Old Sanders Road under the Robert Edge

140
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 11: Parkway overpass. There are no witnesses on sene. Although the

141
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 11: injuries to our face appeared to be gunshot wounds, the

142
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 11: coroner reveals that Amberverbilia wasn't shot as previously thought. She

143
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 11: was beaten to death and cause of death is bloom

144
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 11: forced trauma.

145
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: So when responders first get there, they believe that Amber

146
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: has been shot, but then they realize she was beaten

147
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: so badly she appeared to have been shot in the face.

148
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Also joining us a renowned chief medical examiner out of

149
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Terran County. That's Fort Worth and esteemed lecturer at the

150
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU, doctor Kendall Crown's. Doctor

151
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Crown's thank you for being with us, explain to me

152
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: in medical terms what the that means.

153
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 12: So, sometimes gunshow wounds can be or blunt force injuries

154
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 12: can be confused with gunshow wounds because the natures of

155
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 12: wounds on the head can look like a gunshow wound injury.

156
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 12: You can get these kind of stellate tears or star

157
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 12: shaped tears that it can look like entrance wounds from gunshots,

158
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 12: but instead are from blunt force injuries, especially if they've

159
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 12: used a weapon or a rock or a hammer, it

160
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 12: can leave these type of stellate wounds or star shaped wounds.

161
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 12: The other thing is is often with blunt force trauma,

162
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 12: there can be so much deformation or damage to the

163
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 12: head that it can look like a gunshow wound, which

164
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 12: also causes a significant trauma to the head as well.

165
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: So you're telling me a person can be beaten so

166
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: badly that it actually resembles a gunshot wound.

167
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 12: Yes, they can be beaten so badly that the destruction

168
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 12: that happens to the head and the skull can have

169
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 12: the appearance of the massive trauma caused a gunshot wound.

170
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: Do we know what time of the day or night

171
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: she was attacked? Let me go out to Karen Ritchie

172
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: or Amanda Barbillia. Let me go to you, Amanda. Do

173
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: we know what time of the day or night this occurred.

174
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 5: It was around I think three or four in the afternoon.

175
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: It was broad daylight.

176
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: My understanding, it was closer to four pm in the afternoon.

177
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: And when you say broad daylight, that's very significant because

178
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: to Barry Hutcheson Senior joining us again twenty six years

179
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: in law enforcement, this person that attacked her was so

180
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: bold and there's no way this can be deemed self

181
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: inflicted because it's not a gunshot wound. It's blunt force

182
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: trauma so severe her skull was fractured. I just wanted

183
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: to make sure I understood the time of the attack.

184
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: This gerson is brazen to commit a crime like this.

185
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: It's not just a drive by shooting. Wam bam, you're done.

186
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: She has to get out of the car and then

187
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: she's beaten, beaten horribly around the face to the point

188
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: she dies, her skull fractured, and nobody sees a thing.

189
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, Nac, it's just as it makes sense, and to me,

190
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 10: it has all the hallmarks of something to where there's

191
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 10: so much passion involved in the crime itself, so much

192
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 10: pain and injury that was inflicted that to me, it

193
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 10: just really stands out as somebody that knew her and

194
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 10: she was there for a very specific reason. Maybe that

195
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 10: person was following her and she pulled off the road

196
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 10: because she saw them. You know, we don't know. I mean,

197
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 10: the case it's pretty much hush hushed with the Horay

198
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 10: County Police. They're not discussing it in any regard whatsoever.

199
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 10: But to me, it has a lot of key indicators

200
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 10: as somebody that she was familiar with. And again, I

201
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 10: think because of all the passion involved in the crime

202
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 10: that it was probably I'm really leaning towards somebody that,

203
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 10: for lack of better words, that she yielded, that wanted

204
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 10: a relationship with her, but she just did not reciprocate.

205
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 10: She was very happy with the person she was with,

206
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 10: had plans on getting married, and I think this was

207
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 10: kind of a confrontation by that person as the last

208
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 10: ditch effort to say, hey, why not me instead of

209
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 10: this guy? And then when she didn't go with it,

210
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 10: I think that passion just overcame that person and the

211
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 10: young lady lost her wife track.

212
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: A beautiful young woman found beaten to death lying next

213
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: to her running car under a freeway overpass.

214
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: Who could do this?

215
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: Amber Bbilia is originally from New York, but calls South

216
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: Carolina home now. She is a college student at Hoary

217
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: Georgetown Technical College with designs on becoming a costume designer.

218
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: Studying abroad in London for part of her education, She

219
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: meets Jose Tulsar and comes back home in love.

220
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: After two years of dating.

221
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: Amber and Jose make plans to marry weeks after she

222
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,359
Speaker 3: graduates from college, and that time is fast approaching.

223
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: That casts some light on the theory. A quote jilted

224
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: lover or boyfriend killed her. If she had been involved

225
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: in that relationship for two years and very happy, it's

226
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: highly unlikely that there was another guy on the side.

227
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: We don't have any information about that.

228
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: No, there's no information that there was anybody on the side.

229
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: I don't think you know, she would have had anybody,

230
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 5: but she was. She's had a lot of friends, and

231
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: it could have been somebody that she had a friendship

232
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 5: with that just really wanted more than that and she

233
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: just wouldn't reciprocate.

234
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: Now, thinking all of this through, let me figure out,

235
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: can either of you three ladies, her mom, her sister

236
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,239
Speaker 1: or best friend, enlightened on her love interest, her relationship,

237
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: her fiance. They were a few weeks away from getting married.

238
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: She was very happy with Jose.

239
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: She was very excited to get married and start her future.

240
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: She was moving to London, and I mean she was

241
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: just so happy. They were smitten. They were a perfect

242
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 5: fairy tale love story too.

243
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Michelle Robinson, this is Ambermilia's mom, Michelle. What was she

244
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: doing for a living until she moved back to London.

245
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Where was she working?

246
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: She was working at Austria and Growth, which is very

247
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: high class restaurant serving and she was going to.

248
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: School to see done.

249
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 4: Here's the picture me and her mother grandmother went and

250
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: picked up wedding dresses just weeks before. I do not

251
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: believe it was someone that had passion for I believe

252
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: it was a stranger because if they knew Amber, they

253
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: would not kill her. She lit up a room. She

254
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: was happy that if someone had something against her, they

255
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: would have told her that. I don't think it was

256
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: someone she knew.

257
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: That's my Let's analyze what Michelle Robinson is saying. Join

258
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: me now. Crime online dot Com investigative reporter Alexis Tereschuk, Alexis,

259
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us tonight. I'm trying to

260
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: analyze what I've just heard. Now. You and I, Alexis,

261
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: have handled a lot of homicide cases together, and one

262
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: thing I've always been puzzled with is that it seems

263
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: sometimes like the very best, the sweetest people end up

264
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: being homicide victim and even at random victims. So while

265
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I understand what mom is saying, that's not always true.

266
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: Because a person is wonderful and loving and innocent and

267
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: lights up her room, that does not protect them from predators.

268
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: Ano they're saying, Alexis Terrestrick. Any light you could shed

269
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: on this, Many people, including the mom, Michelle Robinson, believe

270
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: that this was stranger and stranger for a robbery. But

271
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: think it through, and I'm going to go back to

272
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: you on this, Barry Hutchinson Senior, If you want money,

273
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: you want to rob somebody is following a woman in

274
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: a car in broad day light, dragging her out of

275
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: the car and beating her in the face, then you

276
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: don't take the pocketbook with the money in it. That's

277
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: that's just like the John in a Ramsey case, all right,

278
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: where somebody said when they decide a kidnapper breaks in

279
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: at Christmas and leaves the ransom note for one hundred

280
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: and eighteen thousand dollars and said, oh, hey, you know what,

281
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: I've come this far, but never mind, I'm just gonna

282
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: kill her and leave here. That doesn't make sense. So

283
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: if you're going to commit a robbery, why don't you

284
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: mug somebody in a dark alley, Why don't you grab

285
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: somebody's pocketbook and the mall parking lot when their bags

286
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: their arms are full of bags, or the grocery or

287
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: the grocery lot or the parking deck outside of target.

288
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Why chase down a car, get the woman out of

289
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: the car, beat her in the face, fracture her skull.

290
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: It's a vicious beating, okay, to her face. That's full

291
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: of all sorts of psychological implications. And then you don't

292
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: take the pocketbook, you don't take the purse or the money.

293
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense, alexis what facts can you shed

294
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: on this?

295
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 6: Well? Also, there was not a weapon found as as

296
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 6: far as the police have said, at the crime scene,

297
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 6: so we don't know if she was hit with the

298
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 6: person's fist or if they had another weapon. But they

299
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 6: did not take the money. So you think maybe something

300
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 6: went wrong, Maybe she owed somebody money for some reason

301
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 6: they felt they followed her. They said to get the

302
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: money back, but they left the purse. And again it

303
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: is broad daylight. While this isn't a heavily trafficked area,

304
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 6: as you can see from the photos, it is still

305
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 6: a public location where she was just found. Literally her

306
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 6: car was running, so she was very surprised when this happened.

307
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: And they left.

308
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 6: No, they didn't take anything. So if she was let's

309
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 6: just say she owed somebody some money, she was going

310
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 6: to meet them with the money. Something happened, she didn't

311
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 6: give it to them. They didn't take the money, they

312
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 6: didn't take anything, and they didn't take her cell phone either.

313
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Anlesis terreschuk I specifically asked if you could shed light

314
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: on the facts not come up with the wild hypothesis.

315
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Are you actually saying you have any facts to support

316
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: she owed anyone money? A just guessing.

317
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 6: I am just guessing, but I'm saying that she did

318
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: owe somebody money, they didn't take it when it was

319
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 6: found in her wallet.

320
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: Sh No facts support that. As a matter of fact,

321
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: facts support the exact opposite listen.

322
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: Amber Bermilia's mother, Michelle, says the murder simply happened to

323
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: the wrong person, saying, quote, Amber was a social butterfly.

324
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: She had friends from school, she had friends from work.

325
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: She put herself through school. Her mother says she was

326
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: looking through some of Amber's bills and papers and finds

327
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 3: her daughter doesn't owe anything to anybody. All of her

328
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: bills were up to date, and she paid off all

329
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: of her student loans. The twenty three year old hid

330
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: in the face twice with a blunt object so hard

331
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: that investigators believed she was shot.

332
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: What more do we know about the scene that can

333
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: shed light on her murder? Listen.

334
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 9: Investigation into the murder of Amber Burbilia is difficult. From

335
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 9: the first hours. There are no witnesses to describe hearing

336
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 9: or seeing anything. There was no robbery, as her phone,

337
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 9: keys and wallet were left untouched. The keys are still

338
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 9: in the ignition in the car is running, but the

339
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 9: suspect doesn't use the car to get away from the scene.

340
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like a crime of opportunity. Now,

341
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: Alexis Tereschuk, I just attacked you about your claim that

342
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: this young girl about to graduate college heading to London

343
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: to become a costume designer. A few weeks away from

344
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: her wedding to the man of her dreams. They're moving together.

345
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: That she owed somebody money. She even she's one of

346
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: the few in the country along with me, that paid

347
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: off all her student loans. This woman did not owe money.

348
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: What I was expecting you to describe, Alexis Terestchuk is

349
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: video surveillance. What can you tell me about video surveillance

350
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: of Amber just before her death.

351
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 6: So first she seen paying her cable bill.

352
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: That is on video.

353
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: The video has not been released by the police. After that,

354
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 6: she goes to the gas station. That video has been released.

355
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 6: She's wearing black pants, leperprint shirt. She has cute little

356
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 6: glasses on. Then so the police took the video. They

357
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 6: went all up and down this highway and they found

358
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 6: video of her car and in it she's by herself.

359
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: She's driving her car. She turns a corner, they lose

360
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 6: sight of her for about half an hour. Half an

361
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 6: hour later, her car comes back round.

362
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: She is driving.

363
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 6: There appears to be a passenger in the seat from

364
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 6: the video. What has been described is that this passenger

365
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 6: appeared to be a dark person. It may have been

366
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: a black man in the car with her. This is

367
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 6: what was seen, and then we don't see them again

368
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 6: and mirror minutes later, within an hour or so, she

369
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 6: is murdered on the side of the road. But there

370
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 6: is no evidence of this person at the crime scene

371
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: that we have seen.

372
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Okay, let me understand something like the stroschuck goes off

373
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: video cam. Okay, what kind of video was? It was

374
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: at a store? Was it a red light? Do we

375
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: know what kind of video cam it was?

376
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 6: We do not know what kind of I think it was,

377
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 6: Like said, they searched on the highway, so it might

378
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 6: might have been one of the interstate video cameras.

379
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay. It sees her turn off the roadway

380
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: onto a side street. She's alone. When she comes back

381
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: onto the roadway from that side street, there is we

382
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: believe to be a mail in the car with her

383
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: in the front seat. Correct.

384
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 6: Correct, He appears to be a blackmail from the video.

385
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Amanda, what have you been told about the video?

386
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: Exactly what she just said, Just that they have video

387
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: of her on the street stopping to pay her cable bill,

388
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: and then she goes goes onto a side street and

389
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 5: comes back. But I don't know, and that there was

390
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 5: somebody in the car with her when she comes back

391
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: onto the highway.

392
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: But I didn't.

393
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what street or the area. I don't.

394
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 5: I'm not familiar with the area.

395
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: We understand that the cameras were those installed along the roadway.

396
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Alexis Treestchuk, you're right about that. Michelle Robinson, Amber's mom.

397
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: Were you ever told what is down the street or

398
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: did you investigate what was down the street why she

399
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: went there?

400
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: Yes? And I saw that video and to me, it

401
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: was a shadow. It was not a person. I went

402
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: to the police station and it did not appear to

403
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: be a black person or anybody. It's just a shadow,

404
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: maybe not even not even visible to being on They're

405
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: saying that it was a black person. Maybe to me,

406
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: it looked like just a shadow, no clear indication of

407
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 4: a person.

408
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Is law enforcement telling you they believe it's a person, yes, okay,

409
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: so they believe it's a person. You believe it's a shadow? Correct?

410
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: Yes?

411
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: And how quickly after seeing what they believe is a

412
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: person in the car with her? Is she killed within

413
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: damp hower? What do we know about defensive wounds? Listen,

414
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: the mother of Amber Burbilia. Michelle Robinson says her daughter

415
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: was hit with something in the head twice, causing two

416
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: skull fractures. She also says Amber did not go down

417
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: without a fight. According to Robinson, the funeral home suggests

418
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: putting on a long sleeve dress for visitation to cover

419
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: up the bruises and cuts on her arms. According to

420
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: her mother, Amber Burbilia put up a good fight. Two.

421
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: Doctor Kendall Crowns joining us out off Fort Worth, Texas.

422
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: Doctor Crown's, I want to understand something we earlier heard

423
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: that we've laurened she had a skull fracture. Two. In fact,

424
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: could a skull fracture result from a blow from a

425
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: fist or would it have to be a blunt object?

426
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 12: So your skull can fracture from a punch, depending on

427
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 12: how much force is put behind the punch where you're

428
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 12: hitting your face, the skull, the bones of the skull

429
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 12: in these areas are easily fractured. But from a punch

430
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 12: you can break the nose, you can break the orbital rims.

431
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 12: But the type of injuries that are being described to

432
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 12: me sounds more like a heavy blunt object like a

433
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 12: pipe or a hammer, because you're not going to see

434
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 12: the extensive injuries that look like a gunshot wound unless

435
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 12: it's something that you can put a lot of force

436
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 12: behind causing major fractures of the skull.

437
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: This is where I'm going, Doctor Kennel Crown's, and I

438
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: want to follow up with you about how how many

439
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: veins have venous the face is that would produce a

440
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: lot of bleeding to resemble a gunshot wound. But we're

441
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 1: talking about potential fractures. We're talking about whether a weapon

442
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: was used. She was off camera, Doctor Kendall Crowns for

443
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. The highway cam, what we've learned was

444
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: a highway cam sees her going down the highway. The roadway,

445
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: she turns off into the side street, Doctor Kendall Crowns.

446
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: She's not seen for thirty minutes. When she comes back

447
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: on camera, Doctor Crowns, according to law enforcement, there is

448
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: a male sitting in her front seat. Within an hour,

449
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: she's dead. I'm trying to figure out was a weapon

450
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: used and if so, what weapon. It seems to me

451
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: that's the guy we need to be looking for now,

452
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Doctor Kindall Crown's. Two fractures to the skull, if the fractures.

453
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: Can a skull fracture be to the front of the

454
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: face or doesn't have to be saved from the eyebrows back?

455
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: What would the nose, the mouth, the cheeks? Would that

456
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: be the skull? Is that considered the skull.

457
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 12: So yeah, again, the skull can be any portion of

458
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 12: this could be a skull fracture. So facial skull here, nose, cheek,

459
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 12: side ahead where your ear would be, can also be

460
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 12: considered a skull fracture. So any of that can be

461
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 12: considered a skull fracture.

462
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: In the description, okay, doctor Kennel crowns, it looked like

463
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: a gunshot wound. Was that bad? Would there be more

464
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: bleeding if the attack was to the veinous area in

465
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: the mouth and the nose and the eyes. They bleed

466
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: so profusely.

467
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 12: So your head actually has a lot of vascularity to it,

468
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 12: your nose, your face, even your scalp has a tremendous

469
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 12: amount of vasculature. So anytime there's injuries to the facial

470
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 12: or head area, there is always going to be a

471
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 12: lot of bleeding. It doesn't care, It doesn't matter what

472
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 12: exactly the area is. It just if it's part of

473
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 12: the head, it'll bleed quite profusely.

474
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 11: Hory County Police Detective Jonathan Martin says, Amber Babilia's body

475
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 11: is found along Old Sanders Road under the Robert Edge

476
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 11: Parkway overpass. There are no witnesses on sene. Although the

477
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 11: injuries to her face appeared to be gunshot wounds, the

478
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 11: coroner reveals that Amber Verbilia wasn't shot as previously thought.

479
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 11: She was beaten to death and cause of death is

480
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 11: bloom forced trauma. First Responders find a female victim laying

481
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 11: outside her still running car. Injuries to her face are

482
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 11: so severe at first glance it appears she has been

483
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 11: shot in the face. The woman has died before help arrives,

484
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 11: and no witnesses are around to provide any context for

485
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 11: what has taken place. Investigators find the victim's purse inside

486
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 11: the car, with money still in it, and rule out

487
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 11: robbery as a motive. They also find the victim's identification,

488
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 11: Amber Verbilia.

489
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: Hey mom, I just wanted to call and tell you

490
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: I love you. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar

491
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: is sweet, and so are you. I love you. Good night.

492
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: A mother cherishes the last voicemail from.

493
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Her daughter, Alexis Tereschuk. If l E Law enforcement is correct,

494
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: that could very well be her killer caught on video.

495
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to learn more about that, Alexis what's

496
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: the car fully processed for DNA and fingerprints.

497
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 6: The police have said that they've investigated all of it.

498
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 6: They have never released a suspects name. They have never

499
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 6: released any information saying they're looking for a suspect they

500
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 6: and even if so, they could run this through if

501
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 6: there was DNA anywhere found, they could run it through

502
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 6: one of the genealogy sites and maybe get a match

503
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 6: on somebody else, But they have never released any information

504
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 6: about that.

505
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Back to doctor Kendall Crowns, I'm still on the stillfrichur

506
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm asking doctor Crowns is, I'm trying

507
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: do you determine if you or someone like you, another

508
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: medical examiner would be able to tell if she was

509
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: beaten with Let's just say, was she pistol whipped? Was

510
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: she attacked with a pipe? If we could figure out

511
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: from her injuries, what was the murder weapon, what was

512
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: the type of murder weapon? A hammer? For peace sake,

513
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: like doctor Teresa sever you can look at the wounds

514
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: sometimes and you can determine what type of weapon was used.

515
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: Isn't that true?

516
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 12: It's correct. So with bloom force injuries, there can be

517
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 12: patterns that are left by the weapon. Pipes can leave

518
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 12: like what we call tram track bruising, where you see

519
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 12: bruising on either side of the wound. Hammers actually leave

520
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 12: kind of circular or kind of almost Mercedes bin type

521
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 12: symbol of allsions as well. That can be mistaken for

522
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 12: gunshot wounds. It just depends what the object is, but

523
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 12: it will. It can leave pattern injury. Well. A fist

524
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 12: doesn't usually, but other objects can. So you can get

525
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 12: kind of an impression of it based on what the

526
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 12: wounds look like.

527
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: If this was not to the nose or the face

528
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: facial area, and it left skull fractures, this was not

529
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: done with a fist, that tells me the person that

530
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: got in her car, the man in her car, had

531
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: some sort of a weapon. Was it a pipe, Was

532
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: it a hammer? Was it a gun used to pistol

533
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: whip her? I don't know, but I do believe. Barry Hutchinson,

534
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Senior joining me Private Eye, chief investigator for Burying Associates

535
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: Investigative Services in Kansas and Missouri Barry, we say that

536
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: you know statistics, teach us, you look first at those

537
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: closest to her, and that would be the fiance. It's

538
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: not the fiance. I've already investigated it myself. He's ruled out.

539
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: He has a rock solid alibi. He was in Europe

540
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: at the time, No question, it's not him. But I'm

541
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: very interested in your theory about a romantic interest she

542
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: worked as her mom just told us at a very

543
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: high end restaurant. Who was watching her, who was sitting

544
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: at the bar watching her every move? Who could have

545
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: been obsessed with her? Because Barry, I'm very torn right now.

546
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: Did she give some random guy a ride and he

547
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: attacked her? Because nobody can identify who this person is,

548
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: or is it someone that had been watching her and

549
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: she agreed to give him a ride. The fact that

550
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: we know it's not a robbery, we know it's not

551
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: a sex assault, we know that it's in broad daylight.

552
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: So who would have been so bold to attack this

553
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: beautiful young co ed just a couple of weeks away

554
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: from her wedding. I really want to hear your thoughts, Barry.

555
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 10: The police had the ability they know a timeline of

556
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 10: her disappearing for thirty minutes or so. You know, there

557
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 10: are elements that they can use to investigate too, like

558
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 10: her vehicle. I don't know if her vehicle was equipped

559
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 10: with on Star. I don't know if she had her

560
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 10: cell phone with her. I'm assuming she did. I think

561
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 10: in the earlier conversation you said that she had her

562
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 10: cell phone with her.

563
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: Yes, she did.

564
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 10: That phone can also be pinged and they could find

565
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 10: out where she was in that immediate area that she

566
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 10: went missing for those thirty minutes. And then at that point,

567
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 10: what I would do, it's just good old fashioned police work.

568
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 10: I would canvass that area door to door, find out

569
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 10: anybody and everybody in that area that has a criminal record,

570
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 10: anybody that could match, you know, theoretically the type of

571
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 10: crime that was committed, if they have a history of that.

572
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 10: Look for people that just got out of the penitentiary,

573
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 10: Look for people to have that kind of a vicious

574
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 10: background or violent background, and see if I could come

575
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 10: up with a list of viable subjects that could be

576
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 10: possible suspects. It just does not make sense to me

577
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 10: that a young lady like this would get out of

578
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 10: her vehicle and have a confrontation with somebody in a

579
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 10: remote area where she's not safe and not know that person.

580
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 10: It just does not add up to me at all.

581
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 10: I think that again, I'm going to stick with my

582
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 10: idea that it's somebody that she's familiar with, and I

583
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 10: think that it's somebody that probably had an interest in

584
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 10: her that she just did not reciprocate because she was

585
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 10: very happy with whom she was with.

586
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,520

Speaker 3: marry weeks after she graduates from college, and that time

593
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: is fast approaching.

594
00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: Years later and still no suspects. Her family deserves closure.

595
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: What happened to Amber Barbilia?

596
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: When you don't know where to go, you start over

597
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: and you look at who is your victim? Listen?

598
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 3: Amber Burbilia is originally from New York but calls South

599
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,759

Speaker 3: marry weeks after she graduates from college, and that time

605
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: is fast approaching.

606
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: What more do we know? Listen?

607
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 9: At age twenty three, Amber Burbilia doesn't live at home,

608
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 9: but talks to her mother daily. When one of her

609
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 9: calls to her mother isn't answered, Amber leaves a message

610
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 9: for her mother. Roses are red, violets are blue, Sugar

611
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 9: is sweet, and so are you. I love you good night.

Speaker 1: me right now is Amber's mother, Michelle Robinson. Miss Robinson.

616
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: I almost hated to say those words back, because I

617
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: know it's like a knife to your heart to hear

618
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: that rhyme, that message she left to you, that little poem.

619
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you about the facts. We

620
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: keep saying she went to go pay a cable bill,

621
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: but there is something very probative about her paying the

622
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: cable bill. Have you been informed about the video from

623
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: inside the Time Warner cable office where she paid her

624
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: bill that while she's in there, there is a man

625
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: standing behind her staring at her, and it's been described

626
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: as in an aggressive manner. But it's my understanding, Miss Robinson,

627
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: that the guy, for all I know he's angry about

628
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: having to wait in line, has been investigated thoroughly and

629
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: he has been cleared. Correct. That's what I was still

630
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: to Karen Ritchie joining us, Amber's best friend, and to

631
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: her sister, Amanda Rebelia Amanda, was there anything else happening

632
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: in her life that she seemed disturbed about or worried

633
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: about that you know.

634
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 12: Of No, not at all.

635
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 5: I just a couple of weeks before she was killed,

636
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 5: she came to visit me for Easter. I had to

637
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 5: I had some things I had to take care of,

638
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 5: so she had come to take care of my daughters

639
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 5: while I was away. And then when I came home,

640
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 5: you know, we spent Easter Sunday together before she.

641
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 4: Went back home. And you know, she didn't mention at

642
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: all anything.

643
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: Nothing at all. Would she have told you she was

644
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: worried about someone or something. Yeah, we were pretty close.

645
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 5: She's to call me all the time, but she would

646
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 5: have made me aware if there was something bothering her.

647
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: Alexis Tereschuk crimeonline dot com. Where does the case stand

648
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 1: right now?

649
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 6: The case is still open. There have been no suspects

650
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 6: released to the public. There, there has been nobody arrested

651
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 6: for it.

652
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: Nothing.

653
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 6: The police have not given any leads as to what

654
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 6: anybody should look for. They have not said anything. They've

655
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 6: never identified publicly a murder weapon at all. So this

656
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 6: is a case that is still very open and still

657
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 6: all of the evidence has not been released, and they're

658
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 6: still looking for the murderers or murderer.

659
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:52,600

660

Speaker 1: flowers underneath the freeway overpass where she lost her life.
