00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: another activist was killed, was designed to set off a

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: wave of other politically motivated murders in the US and

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: Canada with Moore. Here's Sidney Sumner with Crime Online.

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: An indictment unsealed in recent days details how the organizers

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: of the plot discussed plans to kill a person in

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: California and at least three others in Canada along with

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360

Speaker 2: fifty two year old Nikhil Gutta, a citizen of India,

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: accused of murder for hire and conspiracy to commit murder

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: for hire. The information regarding the murder plot was there

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 2: secured through electronic communications along with audio and video calls

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: that were secretly recorded or obtained by US law enforcement

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: last spring. Prosecutors claimed that the plan was to murder

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: at least four individuals in each of the two countries

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,160

00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: shot and killed outside a cultural center in Surrey, British Columbia,

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: on June eighteenth, one of the men charged with arranging

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: for the planned assassinations told a hitman he had hired

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: that he needed to act quickly to kill another activist.

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: Prosecutors say that the hit man was actually an undercover

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: American agent, which is why the attack plans were foiled.

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: The charges against Gupta carry a potential penalty of up

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: to twenty years in prison. A national sporting goods company

51
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: has been ordered to pay two point five million dollars

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: to the families of three victims murdered by a serial

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: killer in South Carolina. This after one of its locations

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: sold firearms to a straw buyer, who then supplied them

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: to the culprit, an victed felon who could not legally

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: own a gun. According to the family's lawsuit that resulted

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: in the settlement, Todd colthep would occasionally stand close to

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: the buyer selecting firearms at Academy Sports Outdoors for him

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: to purchase. Academy Sports had requested that the amount of

60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: the settlement be kept secret in order to discourage additional lawsuits. However,

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: a judge determined that it didn't make much difference because

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: the case had already received so much attention and that

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: the public had a right to know the outcome. The

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: victim's estates will split the settlement after forty nine years.

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720

Speaker 2: For almost five decades, the teenager was known as simply

69
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: John Doe, but now, thanks to the results of DNA testing,

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: his real name has been revealed as Michael Ray Schlitched

71
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: of Cedar Rapids. According to a news release by the

72
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 2: Orange County Sheriff's Department in California. The teenager was long

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: believed to be a victim of a man known as

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: the Scorecard killer Randy Craft, after being found guilty of

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: torturing and murdering sixteen men over almost three decades, a

76
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: crimes free that culminated with his nineteen eighty three arrest,

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Craft was handed a death sentence to be served at

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: San Quentin State Prison. Authorities have stated that, in addition

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: to the Orange County killings, for Witchcraft was found guilty

80
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine. The seventy eight year old is

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,200

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 2: was discovered. The seventeen year old's death was initially ruled

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: to be accidental when an autopsy revealed high levels of

87
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: alcohol and diazepam in his system. However, detectives began to

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: connect other similar deaths that occurred in the years that

89
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 2: followed and categorized those as homicides. Several of the deaths

90
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: occurred just a few miles from the location of where

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: to an end in nineteen eighty three when a California

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: Highway Patrol trooper saw Craft weaving and driving on the

94
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: shoulder of a freeway and pulled him over. In the

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: passenger seat of the vehicle was the body of a
