Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. The search We're missing Coasta

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: mesa woman has turned into a double homicide investigation. Wendy

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Miller and Darren Parch were found shot to death and

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: his Newport Beach town home. I'm Nancy Grace. This is

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. What happened?

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Take listen to CBS two LA and we don't believe

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: that Newport Beach police have anyone in custody yet. Investigators

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: just left this complex a short time ago. This is

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: where the bodies were found late Sunday night. Now, according

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: to the Coroner's office, take a look at the victims.

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: They have been identified as forty eight year old Wendy

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: Miller and thirty eight year old Darren Parch. They were

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: found in Parch's apartment by his roommate, but that roommate

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: says he didn't see any signs of a break in.

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Police haven't said anything about the cause of death, but

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Miller's son put a statement out on social media saying

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: that his mom had been shot. Miller was the CEO

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: of an organization that fought for social justice for women

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: and children. She was lasting Friday night, leaving a bar

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: in Laguna Beach. Friends said she did send a text

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: the next morning. From what I understand, it just said

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: we made it safely, Did you make it home okay?

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Something or along those lines. So she was checking in,

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: but she didn't say where she was and she wasn't

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: at home, A real mystery for friends of the victims.

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Now we are told by police that they are they

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: haven't had any information about a possible suspect. What happened

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: in a double murder case. This is what we believe.

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: The first burglary attempt occurred round eleven thirty at night

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: and was interrupted by a resident. The would be burglar

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: fired a single round from a gun and that bullet

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: was found lodged outside the home we were learning now,

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: remember that said out midnight. Then the second case, five am.

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: What we think happened. The alleged perp leaves the first

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: burglary attempt and moves on. The homeowner has reviewed surveillance

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: video and sees someone tries to open the front door,

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: but no entry was made and the would be burglar

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: runs away. Police began investigating those two incidents. But then

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: what we know is that the man who was being

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: held and suspicion of robbing an attempted robbery of two homes.

41
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Is now arrested in connection with the murders of a

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: former professional hockey player and a mother of two. Here's

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: Michelle Galas at KCALCBS nine LA assaulting. The double murder

44
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: of Wendy Miller and Darren Parch is currently the number

45
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: one priority for the Newport Beach Police Department. Officers say

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: no one has been arrested for the homicides, but the

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: community is safe. Without getting into specifics of the case

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: because always, as we know, it's an open investigation and

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: we have to maintain that integrity. I can't tell you

50
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: that by talking with the investigators that we have out

51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: there that the information that they're yielding that there is

52
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: definitely not a threat to our society. The victims, according

53
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: to friends, had met on the dance floor at the

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Sam Piper Lounge in Laguna Beach Friday night. Wendy Miller

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: drove Darren Parch home to his condominium about a mile

56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: from her home in Costa Mesa, A roommate, police say,

57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: found them Sunday night dead in Villa Siena, Unit number five.

58
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: A bright Light, unforgettable friend and children's rights champion say

59
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: those who knew the forty eight year old divorced mother

60
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: best Alicia Journey is an advisory board member for Wendy

61
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Miller's nonprofit Wings for Justice, which protects kids in the

62
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: family court system. Miller's death leads a huge void, Journey

63
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: told me, but her supporters and advocates will see that

64
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: her work is carried on. I want to go straight

65
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: out to Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. Kathleen, we

66
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: now know the man that police suspect being involved in

67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: a double murder is named Jason Bugs. Now what do

68
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: we know about Jemone Bugs's past. He has a very

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: very clear record. He has domestic violence allegations and in fact,

70
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: he should have been tagged as a very dangerous person.

71
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: And the fact that this was not random is concerning.

72
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: This was intentional, Kathleen. When you say it's not random,

73
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: it's intentional, what do you mean. Well, I've learned that

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: the killer had been going through his girlfriend or ex

75
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: girlfriend's telephone looking up names of people she's called, and

76
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: he found one of the victims and that was Darren,

77
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: and went to Darren's home for purposes of harming him.

78
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: So you know what's interesting to doctor Bethany Marshall's psychoanalyst.

79
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: You can find written doctor Bethany Marshall dot com Bethany.

80
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: At first police say there's no connection, but I believe

81
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: there is. I didn't think there was a connection at

82
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: first either, And how I just learned this on the show.

83
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: I thought this was random. And the reason I thought

84
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: it was random is that he appears to have been

85
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: on a crime spree. Didn't it seem that way to you?

86
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he breaks into one house, he shoots at

87
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: the house as he's leaving. There's multiple burglaries. He's driving

88
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: around a neighborhood. Did you see the photo of him

89
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: working out on the beach. He's huge. He's a trainer

90
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: at Equinox. So my thought about this before just now

91
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: learning about the phone that he broke into his girlfriend's phone,

92
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: was that maybe he was in some bipolar episode or

93
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: on steroids. White a minute, White a minute, whoa, whoa whoah. No,

94
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: he's getting away with a string of burglaries and attempted burglaries.

95
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: He is in his right mind. He went through her phone,

96
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: found guys he thought she had called, and tracked them

97
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: down and tried to kill them. But that seems to

98
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: be two different emos. This is what's confusing. There's the

99
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: string of burglaries, but then he's going after the men

100
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: that his girlfriend dated. Doesn't that seem like two different emos? No, Actually,

101
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, While it does seem like two different emos.

102
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: Modus operandi method of operation. To doctor William Maroney, let's

103
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: just say we've been around the block once or twice

104
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: with me, Doctor William Moroney, renowned medical examiner and author

105
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: of American Narcan. You can find it on Amazon. Incredible book,

106
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Doctor Moroney. The problem is us. Will we try to

107
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: put on a criminal what their EMO is? Will we

108
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: say things like, oh, it can't be him, it doesn't

109
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: fit his emo. They change their emo. Look at serial

110
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: killers throughout the past. Sometimes they stick with the same emo.

111
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes they depart. I mean, for Pete, say look at

112
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Ted Bundy. Okay, first of all, he started out luring

113
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: women in with his charm, right, get him my BW

114
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: and I will kill you. No, we'll go out on

115
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: a date, Let's go for a walk, Let's go here,

116
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: let's go there. They end up dead. In the end,

117
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: he was getting anybody in everybody. He murdered one little

118
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: girl who's twelve or thirteen years old, just beat her dead.

119
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Then he goes into the coy Omega house and beats

120
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: everybody dead with a baseball bat. He didn't stick with

121
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the same m O. So for us to say rightfully,

122
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: as Bethany's pointed out, it's a different EMO, doesn't matter. Maroney.

123
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I think evil evolved, has it has to to continue

124
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: to be evil. If it means physical harm to other people,

125
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: it evolves to do physical harm. If it means larceny, theft,

126
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: it means larceny and theft. If it means writing bad

127
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: checks to finance itself, that's It's a very similar situation

128
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: to chronic disease. When people can't breathe, the path of

129
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: least resistance, heart failure, collecting fluids, people change the lily

130
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: they walk and breathe to accommodate their disease. Anything you

131
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: need to do to maintain evil. He's and he's obviously

132
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: wired wrong. Upstairs, Who is this guy? Jaman bugs Take

133
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: a listen to Eileen Frere ABC seven neibor say that

134
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: the suspect moved into this apartment complex here in Huntington

135
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Beach back in September. Now Newport Beach police say when

136
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: they arrested him in connection with the crimes in that city,

137
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: he was already in custody for unrelated crimes in Irvine.

138
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Police alleged Jamon Bugs is behind the double murder of

139
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: Darren Parsh, a thirty eight year old former minor league

140
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: hockey player, and forty eight year old Wendy Miller, the

141
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: founder of the nonprofit Wings for Justice. We care about

142
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: children and believe they need to be protected. Her family

143
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: says she was last seen alive leaving a bar in

144
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Laguna Beach. Friends say she had given part to ride home.

145
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: Their bodies discovered Easter Sunday inside Parch's Newport Beach home.

146
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: My auntshake. Just to know that I even said hi

147
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: to him makes me really uncomfortable to know that somebody

148
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: like that lipcar Bugs. His neighbors and Huntington Beach know

149
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: him as the well built guy. His Facebook page says

150
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: he worked as a personal trainer at Jim's and Marietta

151
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and Huntington Beach. Not a friendly guy or anything. I

152
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: would see him, you know, just go in and out

153
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: and in and out and all the people going in

154
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: and out. One neighbor, who only wanted to be identified

155
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: as Mary Anne, recalls hearing a recent violent fight inside

156
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the forty four year olds apartment. I look out my

157
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: window and I see a blonde woman from his apartment,

158
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: and then I see him take off after her. But

159
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't know who that woman was. Court record show

160
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Bugs is a convicted felon. He also had a domestic

161
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: violence hearing scheduled next month involving another woman. In unrelated cases,

162
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: Police say video captures him allegedly trying to burglarize two

163
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: homes in Irvine over the weekend. He's accused of firing

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: his handgun at one of the houses. Police say he

165
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: was arrested Monday morning after a short pursuit and after

166
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: barricading himself in an unoccupied home. He's pleaded not guilty

167
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: to those charges. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Double murder

168
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: suspect Jamone Buggs has a long history of violent crimes

169
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: to Orange County court records. In nineteen ninety four, Bugs

170
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: committed batter and an officer in San Diego. A year later,

171
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five, there was an assault with a

172
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: deadly weapon charge Bugs had firearms violations and a charge

173
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: of grand theft in nineteen ninety six. In two thousand,

174
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: he was convicted of being a felon in possession of

175
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: a firearm. But that's not all you are hearing our

176
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: free and Stacey Butler at k c A L CBS

177
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: nine list. In the following years, he had four domestic

178
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: violence convictions and two DUIs. Just three months ago, oc

179
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: court records show bugs living girlfriend filed a domestic violence

180
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: charge and a restraining order against him. Neighbors in this

181
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach apartment complex say the two lived together in

182
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: this apartment about a year, but they moved out in January.

183
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Buggs moved into this apartment in Huntington Beach and his

184
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: girlfriend rented a room in this Huntington Beach home. Neighbors

185
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: on this quiet street say they often saw the couple

186
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: sitting in his car outside the home together. January fifteenth,

187
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: court records show that the girlfriend filed the charge of

188
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: domestic violence in a restraining order against Bugs. That's when

189
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: a caretaker inside this home says she saw Bugs break

190
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: into the home trying to get to his girlfriend upstairs.

191
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: The caretaker says the girlfriend called police, but before they

192
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: could get there, he took off. She moved out of

193
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: that home. No one we spoke with knows where that

194
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: girlfriend is. Employees that this Huntington Beach jeep dealership say

195
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: they have no idea. The quiet car salesman who started

196
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: working there just over a month ago had a long

197
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: criminal history. Just one week after he was doing court

198
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: for that domestic violence. Here in April eleventh, police say

199
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Bugs murdered thirty eight year old Darren Parch and forty

200
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: eight year old Wendy Miller. The two just met at

201
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: a bar last Friday night. Now he's facing two murder

202
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: charges with special circumstances. That is who Jason Bugs is.

203
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: And would you agree doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanist joining us

204
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: from LA that for every time there is a call

205
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: about a domestic relations a violent act, or when someone's

206
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: actually rested on a crime, there are dozens and dozens

207
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: of other crimes. They're never apprehended for dozens of other crimes.

208
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: And also in terms of the victim, it takes women

209
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: on average nine times to leave a domestic violence infused

210
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: relationship before they are finally able to leave for good.

211
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: So this is not the first time he aggressed against

212
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: this woman that he was in a relationship with who

213
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: finally left him. And good thing he's behind bars, he'd

214
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: probably still be stalking her. To John Cardillo joining us,

215
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: former NYPD man, you've seen it all, John, weigh in.

216
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm looking at this a little differently

217
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: than my colleagues adoptors here. Remember, the only reason there's

218
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: a working theory that he was looking for a man

219
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: that his girlfriend might have been involved with is because

220
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: a detective allegedly said that to a resident. Detectives aren't

221
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: always going to be honest with residents. Also, remember the

222
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: woman miss Miller worked with abused women. So another working

223
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: theory I bet my last dollar on it is that

224
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: they might have intercepted They might have intercepted a text

225
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: in that search warrant between his battered girlfriend or a

226
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: previous one and Miss Miller. Maybe she was counseling her,

227
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Maybe she was getting her some outreach, some help. Now,

228
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: the reason I'm not looking at these as two separate incidents,

229
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: the reason he might have kicked in other doors and

230
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: fired shots. This is an apartment complex, right, because in

231
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: townhouse complex he might have known he was looking. For example,

232
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: a white SUV was parked in front of one residence.

233
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: He kicks in the door, realizes the person he's looking

234
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: for isn't there, and he's kicking indoors until he finds

235
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: his intended victims. But one thing is for sure, Nancy

236
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: readd an estimate back when I was in a robbery

237
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: and gun unit that for every crime we caught a

238
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: guy for, he probably pulled off on average about seven

239
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: that we didn't. So with this guy's history, yeah, I

240
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: completely concur we're looking at a guy with a history

241
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: of violent crime, But I I think the motive is

242
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: still unclear. I do think though, one of the reasons

243
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: you played an initial clip that detectives told the community

244
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: there was no risk. They probably already had him on custody.

245
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: In custody, we're trying to elicit at convention. But had

246
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: the video knew they had the right guy, knew there

247
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: was some more risk to the community. We know that

248
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: professional hockey player Darren Parch and Wendy Miller found dead.

249
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Another thing to doctor William Moroney, medical examiner, author of

250
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: American Narcan The Cops also said that Wendy Miller did

251
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: not suffer that means to me, that very likely shot

252
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: her execution style once in the head. That's usually it.

253
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: There's no sign of bruising, there's no sign of blood,

254
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: there's no exanguination, and it's straightforward and simple. The only

255
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: other thing you'd use. You know, why why do you

256
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: keep saying that? Why do you keep throwing out the

257
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: word exanguination? Why don't you just say it and regular

258
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: people talk. I'm already impressed with you, Ron, I'm very

259
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: impressed with all your degrees and your experience and all

260
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: your books. People too, Okay, what's exegmination? Go ahead? It's

261
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: the clinical loss of blood that leads to a fatal

262
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: event and death, usually through a large You mean you

263
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: remember last time you did that. I made you spell

264
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: it and you had to look it up. Why don't

265
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: you just say she bled out out out bled So,

266
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: doctor Moroney, when they say euphemisms like we don't believe

267
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: she suffered, that means she was shot in the head

268
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: and she was dead before she even knew what was happening.

269
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, that's my interpretation of what that

270
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: means to Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. Let's talk

271
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: about what doctor Bethany said earlier about how many times

272
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: it takes for a domestic violence victim to finally leave.

273
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Now we've got Wendy Miller, dad and a pro hockey play.

274
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: You're dare in part not only does it take an

275
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: enormous amount of energy to leave a domestic violence situation,

276
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: but if you're going through the court systems and you're

277
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: a victim of domestic violence, it is horrible, Nancy, It's horrible,

278
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: and they don't get any support. And the woman that

279
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: was killed in this particular case, I believe her name

280
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: is Wendy Miller. She had a foundation that helped and

281
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: supported women and men who are in domestic violence situations,

282
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: what's called Wings for Justice. And I am sickened and

283
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: heartbroken over this whole murder. And I can only say

284
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: to you that ideal on a day to day basis

285
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: with what victims of domestic violence have to go through

286
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: in the family court system, and it's a put This

287
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: guy by the name of jam On Bugs, the defendant

288
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: in this case, is the founder of a personal training

289
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: company called do It Again. All right, We also know

290
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: he has an extensive criminal pass. It's called excuse me,

291
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: do it Again? Nine and that's what I'm learning from

292
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: his LinkedIn profile. He wrote on LinkedIn, Jimon specializes in

293
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: designing trending programs for clients individual goals. I evaluate strength, balanced, flexibility,

294
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 1: and cardio, which is incorporated in design. In addition to

295
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: Jamon's success, is a performance enhancement specialist for do It

296
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Again nine. Okay, you know what. He's also a convicted

297
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: felon who had just gone on a spree of crimes.

298
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: And one thing I don't get John Cardillo, former NYPD,

299
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: it's why he was out to start with. Not only

300
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: why he was out to start with. I was thinking

301
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: that us. I was looking at his rap sheet about

302
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: three seconds ago before you came to me, Nancy. But

303
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: think about something else. Who were the morons at the

304
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: car dealership who hired this career felon and allowed him

305
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: access to people's personal information and credit information. They have

306
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: credit card numbers, checking account numbers, social security numbers. I

307
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people dropped a lot of balls

308
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: with this guy over the years. He should have been

309
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: sitting in a cell somewhere, not out to kill someone,

310
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: certainly not out there. How did you put your social

311
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: security number and checking account info down? On a car

312
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: Loan aff and trying to figure out what was his

313
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: real connection to Wendy Miller and or Darren Parts. What

314
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: do you think Kathleen Murphy connection to Darren because he

315
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: was stalking and intended to hurt Darren. Wendy just happened

316
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: to be there, and it's a very I'm so upset, Nancy.

317
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm so upset that both of these people were murdered.

318
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: I'm so upset that he was out. I'm so upset

319
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: at the court systems avowing him to even be out.

320
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. I'm Nancy Grace. This is

321
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. Take listen

322
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: to CBS two La. Neighbors here were anxious when police

323
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: were searching for the killer who took two lives in

324
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: one of these condos. So they are both reassured and

325
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: shocked by the news that police found their suspect already

326
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: behind bars. Take a look. Forty four year old Jemome

327
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: Bugs of Huntington Beach is said to be rained today.

328
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: He is suspected of killing Costa Mesa mom, Wendy Miller,

329
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: and former minor league hockey player Darren Parch. Bugs neighbors

330
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: tell us he's a personal trainer, and his LinkedIn profile

331
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: states that he works at the Equinox Jim and Huntington Beach.

332
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: But when detectives went to look for bugs, they discovered

333
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: he had already been arrested on Monday as a suspect

334
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: in separate burglaries. The victims of the double murder here

335
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: in Newport Beach were found Sunday night by roommate they

336
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: had reportedly met earlier in the evening and had been shot.

337
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Video now that was released by Irvine Police, which they

338
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: believe shows bugs trying to break into two other homes

339
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and one case, officers say the burglar

340
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: fired a gun when the homeowner interrupted the crime. Nobody

341
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: was hurt. Bugs Huntington Beach neighbors told us they knew

342
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: something was wrong when police entered his apartment with a

343
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: search warrant. The first burglary attempt occurred around eleven thirty

344
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: at night and was interrupted by a resident. The would

345
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: be burglar fired a single round from a gun and

346
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: that bullet was found lodged outside the home. We are

347
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: learning now, remember that's it about midnight. Then the second

348
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: case five am. What we think happened. The alleged perp

349
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: leaves the first burglary attempt and moves on. The homeowner

350
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: has reviewed surveillance video and sees someone tries to open

351
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: the front door, but no entry was made and the

352
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: would be burglar runs away. Police began investigating those two incidents,

353
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: but then what we know is that the man who

354
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: was being held and suspicion of robbing an attempted robbery

355
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: of two homes is now arrested in connection with the

356
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: murderers of a former professional hockey player and a mother

357
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: of two. And one thing I don't get, John Cardillo,

358
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: former NYPD, you and others say no connection to the victims,

359
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: which is very hard for me to believe. Kathleen Murphy,

360
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: give me your theory on his connection to Darren Parch.

361
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: His ex girlfriend had called Darren Parch for reasons that

362
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of, and this stalker was going through

363
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: the phone list of his ex girlfriend's phone calls and

364
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: that's how he came upon Darren. What does that mean?

365
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: Out to Bethany Marshall's Yeah, who's this Cardillo? Jump hand? Yeah,

366
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: let me jump in, because you know, I don't think

367
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: there's no connection what I'm saying is the only evidence

368
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: we have that he had a connection to Darren Parch

369
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: and not miss Miller is one anecdotal alleged comment from

370
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: a detective to a resident. That's all we have. We

371
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: have no confirmation of that. I'm as convinced that they

372
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: need to look into his connection to Miller. Miller ran

373
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: a center for battered women. I think the connection. If

374
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I had a bet on the connection today, I'm less

375
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: inclined to believe that one anecdotal comment at the resident

376
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: who was kind of in shock that a neighbors were

377
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: murdered the accuracy of that statement. Then he found something

378
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: on the phone of one of the women he was

379
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: dating and abusing that connected that woman to Stephanie Miller,

380
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: and Miller probably advising that person to go to a shelter,

381
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: to talk to the police, to have him prosecuted, to

382
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: seek a restraining order. That to me is more of

383
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: a motive. And that's why you shoot Miller dead, the

384
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: point blank in the head. You kill her. I think

385
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: he was looking for her, not the retired hockey. Interesting.

386
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: Interesting to doctor Bethany Marshall. Doctor Bethany I worked at

387
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Battered Women's center for nine years, and we

388
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: had to keep everything secret, the location, the volunteers, because

389
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: of the very reason Cardillo is describing. That's right. I

390
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: raged abusers will come after you for trying to help

391
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: the battered woman. That's exactly what they do, Nancy. They

392
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: target the whole treatment center, They target the policemen who

393
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: helped the women, They target the woman's families, they target

394
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: the counselors, they target everyone. And in terms of how

395
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: he got to Miller, it's unclear if it's because she

396
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: owned the center or she was connected to a woman

397
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: she was helping. The fact that sticks out to me

398
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: the most, and maybe because I work out at Equinox

399
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: here in Beverly Hills, is that he was a trainer

400
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: at Equinox, and so he had access not only to

401
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: client financial records when he was at the car dealership,

402
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: but you're in a position of trust when you are

403
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: a trainer, and it gave him this sort of legitimacy.

404
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, equinoxes are very swanky, Jim, They're very expensive

405
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: gym memberships. They're all over in the United States, especially

406
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: the West Coast, the East Coast. The trainers there are

407
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: super friendly. They have their Instagrams, they give out their

408
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: information to everybody. Everybody gives and exchanges social media information.

409
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: So to him, he found another job that was kind

410
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: of like a hunting ground. And so this guy went

411
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: under the radar. He is his vicious homicidal doctor went

412
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: under the radar working at a car dealership and then

413
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: at a squeaky clean equinoc and nobody caught him. Nobody

414
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: caught him. Nancy Listen, Wendy Miller's son, fights back tears

415
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: as he reads a letter to his late mother at

416
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: her funeral. And Irvine today and I love you. Friends

417
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: and family packed into Mariners Church to remember the mother

418
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: of two who was murdered along with her friend Darren

419
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Parch in Parch's Newport Beach home Easter weekend. According to

420
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: court records, the two were shot by Jaman Buggs, a

421
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach personal trainer. A detective believes Bugs left Parch's

422
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: residence and traveled to Irvine to commit another violent crime.

423
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: According to court records, Bugs tried to break into several

424
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: Irvine homes, including this woman's. She says detectives told her

425
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: Bugs was looking for someone who was linked to his

426
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend. He was looking for someone with the same

427
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: name as my boyfriend, but he had a picture of

428
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: what the guy looked like it so I think when

429
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: he looked in and saw the two Asian guys playing games,

430
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: he knew it wasn't the guy that he was looking for,

431
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: and so he left. In another attempted break in in

432
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: the same neighborhood, police say Bugs's gun went off. Court

433
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: records indicate those bullets were later connected to the bullets

434
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: fired at the double murder scene in Newport Beach, but

435
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: the time detectives linked the break ins to the homicides,

436
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Irvine Police head managed to arrest Bugs and locate his gun.

437
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: Newport Beach then arrested Bugs for miller and purchased murders

438
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: while he was already in custody. Well, a friend of

439
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: Bugs's ex girlfriend, reportedly said that Bugs was trying to

440
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: hurt him and anyone else that Bugs thought his ex

441
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: girlfriend was involved with. The ex girlfriend and Darren parton

442
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: all the message each other a few times. Typically, on

443
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: a murder charge you get life or life without parole,

444
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: but when there are two murder victims, that qualifies as

445
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: mass murder under the law, and that is a special

446
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: circumstance for which the death penalty can be sought. Crime

447

Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace. Her name is Adeia Adaya Shabani,

00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: say they're worried, sick over the twenty five year old

450
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: who's been missing since February twenty third. We just pray

451
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: for her and hopefully she's gonna show up, her acting teacher,

452
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: saying she'd never missed a class until that faithful day

453
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: February twenty third, when she was last seen near her

454
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: apartment complex on Wilcox and Hollywood Boulevard. Since then, say sources,

455

Speaker 1: used to post daily on her social media accounts has

457
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,280

00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: in all other breaking crime in justice news. Lee, I

464
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: want to start with how she goes missing. Tell me

465
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: that and then we'll figure out from what we know

466
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: if this is her in the Shallow Grave, Well, Nancy,

467
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: what we know is at around eleven eight m February

468
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty eighteen, she sends a text to a

469
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: friend asking for red candles, and then after that nothing,

470
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: There was no activity on any her social media accounts,

471
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: and she was extremely active on all of those no

472
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: text messages, her phone shut off shortly after her last message,

473
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: and then she's just gone completely disappeared. Joining me right now,

474
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: Juvenile court judges, trial attorney. You can find her at

475
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcot dot com Ashley Wilcot. That's significant. Now, that

476
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't tell me any intricacies or any details of her disappearance,

477
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: But more and more cops are looking at your cell phone,

478
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: your social media. If you're an active poster or you

479
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: live on your cell phone, you're constantly texting and then

480
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: suddenly it goes quiet. That's a big, circumstantial piece of evidence. Absolutely,

481
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: it's a great clue, especially Nancy, given this, we all

482
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: know that those who enjoy social media don't usually take

483
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: a break or not do it unless they've gone on

484
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: a little weekend trip or a vacation. But then they

485
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: go right back to the social media. So when someone

486
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't like she didn't on Monday, that's a huge clue

487
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: that there's a problem. The other thing I have to

488
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: say is, boy, does it not give you a clue

489
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: to hear that she went reached out to a friend

490
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: about getting red candles, which to me suggests a romantic weekend,

491
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: a weekend away with someone special and then disappears. Wow.

492
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that at all. I would think ray candles. Oh,

493
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm sticking away a candle holder somewhere that I hope

494
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: and pray to God the twins never lie and burn

495
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: down the house. You think romantic weekend away? Okay, I'm

496
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: just gonna take that with a box of salt. Take

497
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: a listen to our friends at KTLA. This is Rick Chambers.

498
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: They hit the sidewalk this evening here in Hollywood getting

499
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: the word out about Adia Shabani, who disappeared six days ago.

500
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what to think. I

501
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: I just want to find her. The twenty five year

502
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: old actress left her apartment here at the Duet on

503
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Wilcox in Hollywood last Friday at about noon and no

504
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: one has seen her since, which is out of character.

505
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: This is not her, This is not her. Something is

506
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: going on with her. We don't know where she's it's

507
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: just so sad. We're just hoping she's alive. At first,

508
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: friends thought Shabanni was just busy, but then she missed

509
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: an important class here at the Stella Adler Theater. So

510
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: those same friends asked the LAPD to do a welfare

511
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: check back at her apartment. You know, right there, you're

512
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: hearing what leads up to the announcement that this beautiful

513
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: young actress Adia Shabani has gone missing. It she really

514
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: is gorgeous. In the acting world, you know, you meet

515
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: so many different people. You're constantly going for tryouts and auditions.

516
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: To Karen Start joining me psychologist at Karen Stark dot

517
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: com joining me today out of New York, Karen start,

518
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. You know, Karen, in

519
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: that line of business, you're constantly meeting different people at

520
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: all of these ads. It's not like a lot of

521
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: people go to their office every day and they're around

522
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: the same people every day, So you kind of have

523
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: a smaller group of people to suspect when you're out

524
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: doing auditions, traveling from one place to the next, trying

525
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: to get a gig. It really widens up the scope

526
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: of investigation. It does, It definitely does. But she had

527
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: so many people that she was staying in touch with

528
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: and so many friends that after a while she knew

529
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: enough people that they were worried about her. And I

530
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: success that under those circumstances, they really didn't know her

531
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: and they understood that something was definitely wrong. You know,

532
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the discovery of a body in

533
00:33:54,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: a shallow grave. Here is Katie TV's Feel Human Listen

534
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: a shallow grave. This is about fifty miles north of Sacramento.

535
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: The LAPD says they believe the remains are Shabanis. That

536
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: is not one hundred percent. They do not yet have

537
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: a cause of death, or they are saying they believed

538
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: that Shabani was the victim of a homicide. Let's hear

539
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: from Captain Hayes. Los Angeles pushed divers were searching that

540
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: area and walking the shores. There was a water's edge

541
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: where they found what they believed to be a shallow grave.

542
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: When we checked it, we were able to determine that

543
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: it contained human remains, but because of the condition of

544
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: the area, we were not able to recover the body immediately.

545
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, I want to go out to our friend,

546
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: doctor William Maroney, Deputy Medical Examiner, Bay County, Michigan, author

547
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: of American narcan on Amazon to doctor William Moroney, how

548
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: do you go about identifying remains that have been out

549
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: in the desert in a shallow grave and what does

550
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: that temperature and those circumstances due to the body. The

551
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: first thing you have to look at is a chart

552
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: of humidity and temperature to judge backwards and calculate how

553
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: old or how long it's been there. And that's going

554
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: to entail entomology, the study of insects that eat carrion

555
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: and carnage and break the body down after gaseous discomposition.

556
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Anybody outside any not anybody like like all you buddies,

557
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: but a body, any body is going to go through

558
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: regular decomposition, which could take you know, a couple of

559
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: days in warm weather, a couple of weeks it's cool.

560
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: But bugs, flies, gnats, and maggots break the body down

561
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: based on temperature and humidity and if they can colllect,

562
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: blow fly, larva and dated. You know, I always hear that,

563
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: doctor Moroni. I always hear when you're looking at forensic etymology,

564
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: in other words, the age of bugs that have been

565
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: attracted to the body. It's kind of it's not terribly new,

566
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: but in the big history of forensics it's new. And

567
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: I always hear about blow fly. It develops at a

568
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: certain rate, and if you look at the rate of

569
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: the development of the maggot, you can tell how long

570
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: it's been there. You know how long it takes for

571
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: a maggot to appear, and that way you can kind

572
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: of determine roughly the time of death. How does it work?

573
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: If you could break it down from in words, we

574
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: can all understand, doctor Moroni. The first insect to be

575
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: drawn to a dead body based on smell and composition

576
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: is the blowfly. And the blowfly sets up eggs that

577
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: hatch in a couple of days and then help decomposition

578
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: and eat tissue, and then they grow through stages that

579
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: take a various number of partial weeks, and then those

580
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: maggots turn into flies themselves and they're able to trace that.

581
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: Ashley Willcott joining us, this guy, this person of interest,

582
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: Chris Spots. What do you believe was at the heart

583
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: of her murder? Crime of passion? I think no matter what,

584
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: hands down, this is a crime of passion. Something about

585
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: again leaving with the suitcases, with the red candles, the

586
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: fact that she had the trauma that she endured, where

587
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: she was buried, how far away. I think it was

588
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: a crime of passion. And they said, oh, he's got

589
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: to do something with this body, and this is what

590
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. As she Wilcott, I agree with you

591
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: because this guy, thirty three year old Chris Spots, had

592
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: been Adia's boyfriend, okay, and he had been engaged to

593
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: another woman. We know that there was a high speed

594
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: police chase. At the end, he kills himself. Why would

595
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: he do that if he were not somehow involved with this?

596
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: If you have information, tipline two three four eight six

597
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: six eight nine zero. Nancy Grace Crime Story signing off

598
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: goodbye friend,
