Speaker 2: Nancy Brendan Paul, a former assistant to Sean Diddy Combs,

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: took the stand and shared that he aided Combs in

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: preparing for his extravagant drug fueled parties, but he refuted

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: the label of being a drug mule. Initially employed to

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: support Combs with his fitness regimen, Paul admitted to occasionally

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: purchasing drugs for the music mogul, but he emphasized that

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: this was a minor aspect of his overall responsibilities. He

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: described his role as demanding long hours and a high

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: level of commitment. On Friday, agers also heard from the

18

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,360

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: including sex trafficking, facilitating prostitution, and conspiracy to commit racketeering.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: Federal officials claim he has threatened, mistreated, and cohersed victims

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: to satisfy his sexual needs from two thousand and four

27

Speaker 2: to twenty twenty four. Special Agent Joseph Cirillo presented evidence,

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: Following a shooting incident during a Sunday service in Michigan,

36
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: a deacon and a security guard intervened to neutralize the threat.

37
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: On June twenty two, an active shooter was reported at

38
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Cross Point Community Church, located in Wayne, a suburb of Detroit.

39
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: As confirmed by a representative from the Wayne Police Department,

40
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: a security guard managed to fatally shoot the assailant before

41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: law enforcement arrived. According to the church's senior pastor, Bobby Kelly, Junior,

42
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: the security guard had the opportunity to take aim at

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: the shooter, as a thirty one year old white male,

44
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: thanks to the deacon who ran over him with a vehicle.

45
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: The attacker was struck by one of our members who

46
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: witnessed the chaos unfolding as he was arriving for church.

47
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: Pastor Kelly recounted to the Detroit News the deacon used

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: his Ford f one to fifty truck to collide with

49
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: the shooter. This as reported by the news outlet. Only

50
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: one person, identified by Detroit News as the security guard,

51
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: sustained injuries during the incident. The shooter discharged several rounds

52
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: into the church, but did not enter the building, which

53
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: was reportedly filled with about one hundred and fifty attendees,

54
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: including more children than usual, according to the pastor. Live

55
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: footage from the service captured the moment the congregation became

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: aware of the danger. Get down, someone shouted, prompting people

57
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: to rush to safety. Everyone to the back, please, everyone

58
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: come to the back, directed another church leader as they

59
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: guided the congregation toward the rear of the building. In

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: the aftermath of the incident, Pastor Kelly stated that members

61
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: of Cross Point Community Church are rallying together for support

62
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: and the children present during the the attack are doing well.

63
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Looking ahead, he mentioned, we will convey our leadership to

64
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: develop a structured plan for moving forward. The pastor also

65
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: noted that the shooter did not seem to have any

66
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: affiliation with the church. The investigation into the shooting is

67
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: still in progress, with multiple agencies involved, according to a

68
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: spokesperson from the WPD, who indicated that additional information would

69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: be released later this week. Jennifer Kessey seemed to have

70
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: the perfect life, surrounded by family, friends, a fulfilling career,

71
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: and a caring boyfriend until her mysterious disappearance in two

72
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: thousand and six at just twenty four years old. Kessey

73
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: had recently graduated from the University of Central Florida and

74
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: secured a promising job at a timeshare company. She had

75
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: even bought her first home, a condo in Orlando, Florida,

76
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: which would ultimately be remembered as her last known whereabouts.

77
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: On the morning of January twenty four, two thousand and six,

78
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: just a few days after returning from a trip to

79
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: Saint Croix with her boyfriend, Rob Allen, Kessey failed to

80
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: arrive at work. Her colleagues recognized this as an unusual

81
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: behavior reached out to her parents, Drew in Joyce, out

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: of concern and able to reach their daughter, they rushed

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: her condo to investigate. Upon arriving at the complex, they

84
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: quickly realized their daughter was missing. Her car was not there,

85
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: her condo appeared to be in its usual state as

86
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: she left in a hurry for work, a damp towel

87
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: in the bathroom, pajamas strawn on the floor, her hair

88
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: tool scattered on the counter. The only items missing were

89
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: her keys, cell phone, purse, and iPod, none of which

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: have ever been located. Meanwhile, her car was found abandoned

91
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: about a mile away, parked outside another apartment complex on

92
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: the same day she vanished. For the past nineteen years,

93
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Jennifer's family and a dedicated team of investigators have tirelessly

94
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: searched for clues in hopes of finding her, often facing

95
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: dead ends. Despite the absence of concrete suspects and only

96
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: grainy surveillance footage of a possible person of interest, they

97
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: remained resolute in their request to uncover the truth. Just

98
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: prior to her disappearance, Jennifer and Rob had enjoyed their

99
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: vacation in Saint Croix. They returned to Florida on January

100
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: twenty two, two thousand and six, with Jennifer going back

101
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: to her condo while Rob made his way home to

102
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale, roughly three hours away. Jen was beaming with

103
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: happiness after the trip. Joyce shared with forty eight Hours,

104
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: recalling a phone call with her daughter shortly after her

105
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: return from vacation. The next day, Jennifer resumed her work routine.

106
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: After leaving the office, she spoke with her parents and

107
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: later chatted with her boyfriend Rob. Their conversation ended around

108
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: ten PM, marking the last time he would ever hear

109
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: her voice. On the morning of January twenty four, Rob

110
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: noticed he hadn't received his usual message from Jennifer, which

111
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: struck him as odd. On the Nancy Grace Show, he

112
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: recounted how he called her on the way to work,

113
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: but it went straight to voicemail. In the meantime, her

114
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: employer realized she didn't show up for work and didn't

115
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: notify anyone, which was out of character. A concerned coworker

116
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: reached out to her parents, drew In Joyce. They drove

117
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: to the condo. When we got there, everything seemed okay.

118
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: We rushed in. It looked like a normal day for

119
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: my daughter, Joyce said. The only items missing from the

120
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: apartment her purse, key's, cell phone, and iPod. She definitely

121
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: spent the night in her condo, her mother said, It's

122
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: like she got up and got ready for work, just

123
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: a normal day. On the day her car was discovered,

124
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: her family knew something was wrong. Security footage indicated it

125
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: had been parked there since noon on the day of

126
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: her disappearance. However, no forensic evidence was found inside the car,

127
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: leading investigators to believe it had been cleaned. If you
