00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Crime Alert. I'm Nancy Grace breaking crime news. Now.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: Employees at Allegiance trucks outside Dallas, Texas trickling in from

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: lunch breaks. Travis Merrill is waiting for a specific co

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: worker when Tomorrow Colozzo returns to her desk. He follows

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: her into her cubicle and opens fire. Coworkers wrestle the

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: gun away and called nine one one, but Tomorrow dies.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Merrill admits he was obsessed with Tomorrow and killed her

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: because of her excessive breaks.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: Nancy Merrill meticulously kept track of Colaso's breaks. When she

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: caught wind of the behavior, Klozzo reported Merrill to HR,

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: and he was banned from the office until he sought counseling.

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: When Merrill returned to work and Colaso refused to interact

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: with him, Merrill became increasingly angry, purchased several firearms and

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: began bringing them into the office daily.

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: Travis Merril fifty one, now charged with murder.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Nathan Landsay has too many drinks at his friend's wedding

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: and angers a guest when he touches her inappropriate. Several

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 2: people chastise him, and he starts yelling that Brian Groom

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 2: try to calm him down, but he starts yelling again.

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: The bride's father informs him police will be called if

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't leave. He lunges at the dad, and other

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: guests quickly try to separate them. When someone puts their

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: hand over his mouth, he bites down, severing.

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Half an inch off their finger.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: Lancey twenty two pleads no contest to disorderly conduct and battery.

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: I wonder if they're putting that in the wedding album.

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: More crime and justice news after this. Now at the

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: latest crime and justice breaking news Crime Onlines John Lenley.

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: We begin in Fall City, Washington, where a fifteen year

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: old boy has now been charged with the murders of

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: his parents and three siblings. According to court records, he

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: initially claimed his younger brother was responsible for the shootings,

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: but an eleven year old sister, who survived the attack

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: by pretending to be dead, escape to a neighbour's home

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 4: and reveal the truth to authorities. The teenager faces five

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: counts of aggravated murder in juvenile court under state law.

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: A hearing will determine if the case moves to adult court.

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: The King County Medical Examiner identified the victims as Mark

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: and Sarah Humiston and their children, ages seven, nine, and thirteen.

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: Court documents reveal the boy recently faced disciplinary trouble at school,

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: and investigators say he was the only family member with

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: access to the locked handgun that belonged to his father.

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: Authorities responded early on the morning of October twenty first,

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: after a nine to one one call from the boy

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: reporting his thirteen year old brother had committed the shootings.

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: Shortly after, a neighbor contacted nine one one to report

47
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: the injured eleven year old's account, implicating her older brother.

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: The fifteen year old waived his right to appear in court.

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 4: Defense attorneys say he has no prior criminal record. After

50
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: nearly four decadscades, a cold case in Louisiana has taken

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: a significant turn. Authorities in Saint Tammany Parish have confirmed

52
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: the identity of a woman whose body was discovered in

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: Lake Ponta train back in nineteen eighty six, with details

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: here Sidney Sumner of Crime Online.

55
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: For years, she was known only as Lake Lady Jane Doe.

56
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: The body was found on June nineteenth, nineteen eighty six,

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: near the Interstate ten twin Span bridges by slidell. Now,

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: thanks to new advances in DNA technology, the Sheriff's office

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: has identified her as Pamela Lee Hump, who was also

60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: known as Deborah Gail Justice Hupp. Born in April nineteen

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: fifty eight. Was pregnant when she died, and her last

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: known residence was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The discovery, however,

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: raises more questions. Investigators have long ruled her death a homicide,

64
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: but the circumstances remain unclear. Officials are calling on the

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: public for any additional information that could shed light on

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: what happened. Those with leads are urged to contact the

67
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Saint Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. The journey to her identific

68
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: keeytion has been a challenging one. Initially, multiple attempts to

69
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: determine her identity, including DNA analysis and a feature on

70
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: America's Most Wanted, led to dead ends. It wasn't until

71
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: September twenty twenty two, when a grant from the National

72
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: Missing and Unidentified Person System, or NEMUS, allowed for advanced

73
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: DNA testing that progress was made. By April twenty twenty three,

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: researchers identified potential family members, which eventually led to confirming

75
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: her identity.

76
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: As Sydney mentioned, the circumstances surrounding Hupp's death remain under investigation.

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact

Speaker 2: She's very familiar with the trails and terrain around her humps,

87
