She went on 27 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: to become chief of staff at Fiscal Note Technology management company. 28 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: On linked In, she describes herself as a forward thinker 29 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: in data and technology. It seems she was perfectly suited 30 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: for her life as a tech executive. Not too long ago, 31 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: Wendy was featured in an article for the website Bridge 32 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: dot Com, and in that interview, she says that exercise 33 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: was a big part of her life. She said she 34 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: loved to take classes at a local fitness studio and 35 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: that she loved nothing more than to go jogging around 36 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: d C. Unfortunately, it was that passion for running that 37 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: would lead ultimately to her death. A horrific attack, A 38 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: bloody attack on jogger Wendy Martinez one week after she 39 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: gets engaged, DAB dead in Washington Tuesday evening, police looking 40 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: for a man spotted on surveillance video. Now take a 41 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: listen to what Washington, d C. Police Chief Peter Nisham says. 42 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: It was very disturbing. Uh, you know, you have a 43 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: young woman out here exercising in a neighborhood, very very 44 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: safe neighborhood. You have a lot of people out here, 45 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: people are enjoying dinner across the street, and have something 46 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: like that happened. Like I said, it's unsettling. We do 47 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: not have a motive. But like I said, um, more 48 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: likely than not it was a stranger to the victim, 49 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: to Mark Class, founder of Class Kids Foundation, a random attack, 50 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: that's what police are saying. How likely is that, Well, 51 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: it was likely for Sun believe me, in the same 52 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: area several years ago. And I think at this point 53 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: in time, and we hear about women that are out 54 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: jogging that are approached by these creatures on a regular basis, 55 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: and I think it's incumbent upon them at this point, unfortunately, 56 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: to carry some kind of protection with them, whether it 57 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: be mace, pepper, spree, or some kind of a physical weapon. 58 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: To Cheryl McCullum, director of the Cold Case Research Institute. 59 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: I was looking at one photo. This woman, a George 60 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: Town grad, she just gotten engaged. In the photo, it 61 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: shows the fiancee, Daniel in a blue suit, down on 62 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: one knee with a ring box open as she was 63 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: standing there with his beautiful smile on her face. And 64 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: what you do, and what I do, when we're putting 65 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: cases together, is you go back and you get to 66 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: know the victim in death. And photos like that just 67 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: they're heartbreaking, you know. I remember the first carjack murder 68 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: case Cheryl I ever tried, and it was a young guy. 69 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: He was carjack and shot in his own front yard 70 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: that where he lived with his family, with his mom 71 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and dad and siblings. And I was looking at the 72 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: crime scene photos. I was going to the crime scene 73 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: and then I saw where a neighbor ran out with 74 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: a pillow and put under his head in the driveway, 75 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: and that was it. I actually I had to leave 76 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: the courtroom. That tenderness broke my heart. I could look 77 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: at the crime scene photos, the autopsy reports all day long, 78 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: but something about that photo, and there's something about this photo, 79 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: that joyful moment they were having just last week. It 80 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: just when you're putting a case back together. That's the 81 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: journey you go through. There's no question about it, Nancy. 82 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: That was a storybook moment that was captured. It was beautiful, 83 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: it was swede, it was endearing, and their whole life 84 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: lade out in front of them. But what resonates for 85 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: me is the video of the man walking away from 86 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: that scene, and he's swinging his right arm pretty consistently, 87 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: like trying to walk at a good gate, but his 88 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: left hand isn't moving at all. You don't even see 89 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: his fingers. He's got long sleeve zone, so that indicates 90 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: to me he's probably holding the knife in his left 91 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: hand and his hiding it because there's probably blood all 92 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: over it. So that also indicates to me, you've got 93 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: a Georgetown graduate thirty five years old, so she's smart, 94 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: she's athletic, she's recently engaged. This person is the opposite 95 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: of that to me, so clearly stranger on Stranger Crimes. 96 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: Dr Brian Russell, host of i d S hit show 97 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: Fatal Vows, lawyer and psychologists, it's kind of hard to 98 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: reconcile this wonderful, beautiful, storybook life and this horrific crime. 99 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: I guess I'm reacting so badly to it because of 100 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: the murder of my fiance just before our wedding. When 101 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: you see your whole life just go sideways in one 102 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: moment and a stranger on stranger attack Brian, Yeah, I 103 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: think it really underscores the point that you've made telling 104 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: your story many times, and we've sadly made in cases 105 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: like this over years of covering them, that it can 106 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: happen to anybody. There's you don't have to have done 107 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: anything wrong, you don't have to have you don't have 108 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: to have done anything. It's such a sense that people 109 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: get of injustice about not just the crime, but just 110 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: about the universe almost about how can something like this 111 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: happen to? You know what? Why does some Why do 112 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: things like this ever happen to good people? But they do, 113 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: and most of the time they do. Just as we 114 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: are going to air, we are learning right now that 115 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: an arrest has been made a suspect arrested on the 116 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: attack of Wendy Martinez fatally stabbed while out jogging, stabbed 117 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: over and over and over. After the attack, she managed 118 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: to stagger into a nearby Chinese restaurant, where everybody in 119 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: there tried to help her. She died to Kenya Johnson, felony. 120 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Atlanta Prosecutor. When you have surveillance video, it goes a 121 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: long way in catching your purp, but it doesn't go 122 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: the entire way. How do you put the pieces together 123 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: to find the guy. Well, you're still gonna need witnesses 124 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: to come in and say that they can identify this 125 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: image that's on this surveillance video. And of course it 126 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: is very helpful for the juries a trial to see 127 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: the actual actions on the perpetrator before, during, and after 128 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: the crime event. However, now police are gonna need to 129 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: go to the public or they already did, and see 130 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: if they can identify this grainy video and still have 131 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: to make an identification Cheryl McCullum. They said at the 132 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: get go they thought it was a random attack. It 133 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: appears that there may be some mental illness, some drug use, 134 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: but he, for whatever reason, zeroed in on this poor 135 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: woman who was doing nothing. In no way provoked or 136 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: calls this incident. Take a listen now to the latest 137 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: from Police Chief Peter Nishan.

I remember 172 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: walking in to the house and singing Lotta sitting on 173 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: that couch and it was just that was just horrifying. 174 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, she was just wailing, catatonic. It was just 175 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: this nightmare is real. Elizabeth Smart, a little girl kidnapped 176 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: from her own room, in her own bed, her uncle's 177 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: Tom and David talk about first discovering she's gone in 178 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: a documentary The kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart. I Meancy Grace, 179 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. 180 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: Bob Shell, now one of her two kidnappers. The female accomplice, 181 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: Wanda bars in the Last Hour's pictured for the very 182 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: first time, says she has been released just fifteen years 183 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: after the kidnap of little girl Elizabeth Smart. It's hard 184 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: for me to take in that this woman goes along 185 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: with her husband, the so called profit David Mitchell, in 186 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: his quest to kidnapped six little girls to become his 187 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: child bride's. Well, we know what that means, child bride. 188 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: It means child molestation. That's what child bride means. And 189 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: she held Elizabeth Smart, tied her to a tree, and 190 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: sat beside her as she was raped and threatened with 191 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: death every single day for nine months. Another terrifying, chilling 192 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: thought is that this woman, Wanda bar Z sat there 193 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: quiet as they could hear rescue workers in the distance 194 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: calling out Elizabeth, Elizabeth. She sat there quiet, her chance 195 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: to save Elizabeth's life, joining me Mark Class victim advocate, 196 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: founder of Class Kids Foundation.

John. Who 201 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: is this woman? Wanda Barsie Nancy. It's interesting to note 202 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: that Elizabeth Smart's two abductors actually met in a mental 203 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: health counseling group. One to Barsie was introduced to Brian 204 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Mitchell when she was receiving treatment for depression. She found 205 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: that she was able to talk with Brian about her 206 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: abusive marriage and he was able to provide her with 207 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: some much needed comfort. At the time, Brian had become 208 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day 209 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: Saints and was an ordained elder. Both of them were 210 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: actually going through divorces at the time, and though they 211 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: were still married to other people, church leaders approved of 212 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: their budding relationship because they knew the couple needed each other. 213 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: The couple actually married the very same day as Brian's 214 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: divorce wars became final. From what we understand, that first 215 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: year was absolutely hellish that they argued all the time. 216 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Wanda has said that it was difficult, It was painful, 217 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: but they did make it through that first year of marriage. 218 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: Of course, as we now know, this is just the 219 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: beginning of a most bizarre path that the couple would 220 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: travel together. It became a toxic mix of religion, sex, 221 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: and ultimately crime. Well, John, Lily, when you put it 222 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: like that to me, it is romanticized about how he 223 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: helped her and just no, I'm not getting sucked into 224 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: their story. Uh F d l s F d Eryl McCollum. 225 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: Isn't that the Mormons? It is? And they were later 226 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: all thrown out of that church nat as they should 227 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: have been. Um, you know this is something that stumps me. 228 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: I went to school with a young guy, Wayne, who's Mormon, 229 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: and he could not even have chocolate milk. He was 230 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: very devout. How can they divorce and remarry and come 231 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: up with the idea of a child? Right? You know what? 232 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: I want to clear something up that is not the 233 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: Mormon religion. That's these two nuts felons evil. Why she's out, Cheryl? 234 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: I do not know. To Mark Class, who has not 235 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: only uh talk the talk, but walked the walk in 236 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: searching for crime victims his specialty children, Mark weigh in, 237 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: how did the whole thing happened to start with, and 238 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: I want to hear your reaction on BARSI walking free. Yeah, well, 239 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: we have to remember that that we have to take 240 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: this out of the realm of of of reality and 241 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: bring it into the craziness and the insanity that these 242 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: people exist in. Mitchell was a homeless individual who was 243 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: hired by Elizabeth's father to do work on the house, 244 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: and that's where he bought his eye on Elizabeth. He 245 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: later came back in the middle of the night and 246 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: cut his way through a screen door, entered the house, 247 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: and kidnapped Elizabeth at knife point with her sister m 248 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: while her sister was awake in the room with her, 249 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: and she then was missing for nine months. Nancy, I 250 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: believe that the answer to this whole thing is civil commitment. 251 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they've allowed this woman to run free. 252 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: Elizabeth said that it's incomprehensible how someone who has not 253 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: cooperated with her mental health evaluations or risk assessments, or 254 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: someone who did not show up to her own parole 255 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: hearings can be released into our community. And I have 256 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: to completely and totally agree with her and wonder why 257 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: the authorities aren't looking in a way to civilly commit 258 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: her given the fact that she's still very well, maybe 259 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: a threat to the community. She's no doubt suffering from 260 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: mental diseases, and and she's absolutely terrified. This woman who 261 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: deserves nothing more than peace in her life. For nine 262 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: long months, this obsessed couple keeps Little Elizabeth tied up 263 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: in the woods where Mitchell Brian David Mitchell rapes her daily, 264 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: threatens to murder her daily, with bars a sitting right 265 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: beside her as it happened. I don't understand it, Kenya Johnson. 266 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: You're a veteran prosecutor in many jurisdictions for rape or kidnap, 267 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: you get life behind bars. What happened, Kenya? Why is 268 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: she out? You know? Um? It could be a variety 269 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: of reasons. From what I understand, her senses expired and 270 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: why they attempted to have her community for longer or 271 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: as a civil commitment. Uh. The law states and Utah 272 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: that when your sensors expires, they can no longer keep you, 273 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: and so she's not gonna be under She'll be under 274 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: the jurisdiction of the courts as far as parole was concerned, 275 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: where she has the restrictions from contact uh the victim. However, 276 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: when the criminal case has run its course, that's it 277 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: unless we begin to initiate new actions. I don't give 278 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: a flying fig about they don't contact the victim. Elizabeth 279 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Smart lives with this woman and this monster in her 280 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: head every day. Um. Dr Brian Russell not only psychologist 281 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: and host of I d S Fatal Vowel series, but 282 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: also lawyer. This is what I understand. I had to 283 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: It's like a ball of yarn. I had took me 284 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: forever to unravel this thing, Dr Brian, But this is 285 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: what I think went down. So they sentenced her to fifteen. 286 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: They should have run consecutive, but no, no, that means 287 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: one after the next. But what happened was she did 288 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: sometime in a federal pen. So just a couple of 289 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 1: years ago, Brian, they make the announcement pardon in parole, 290 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: say she's gonna be until tw Now. They jump up 291 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Elizabeth did not see it coming and says, oh, well, 292 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: you know what, guess what we miscalculated. We got to 293 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: give her credit for the sad time she's out. She's 294 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: getting out. I mean, that's like a ton of bricks 295 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: just drop right on your head. Dr Brian. Well, as 296 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, I rarely see a print prison sentence that 297 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: I think is long enough. And so you know, we 298 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: all learned in law school that the person who drives 299 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: the getaway car is, under the law considered equally guilty 300 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: as the person who actually goes into the bank and 301 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: robs it. So I don't I agree with Mark Class. 302 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: If there were a way that we could use the 303 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: mental health system to keep this woman off the street longer, 304 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: that would certainly be better than nothing. But to me, 305 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: that the origin of this goes all the way back 306 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: to what she was charged with and sentenced for in 307 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: the very beginning. Not long enough. She belongs to prison 308 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: every day as long as her boyfriend Wanda Bars convicted 309 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: for aiding a street preacher Brian David Mitchell to kidnap 310 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: and rape a little girl has been released, has been released. 311 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: She was last thing carrying a banana and a box 312 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: of salad as she followed authorities to a hotel. Her 313 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: family is saying she cannot come here. She needs to 314 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: be civilly committed. That's what I know. Window treatments is 315 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: one of those terms for something necessary, But boring your blinds. 316 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: You don't even think about them unless you move or 317 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: they break.

Robin 370 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: Olinski's crime online dot Com investigative reporter Robin start at 371 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: the beginning, basically, what this man, thirty five year old. 372 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: He was a supervisor with the Laredo sector of the 373 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: Border Patrol, and he picked up a woman, Melissa Ramirez. 374 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: He shot her in the head multiple times. You know, 375 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: it's one thing somebody shoots somebody else but to shoot 376 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: them in the head. There are some real underlying anger there. 377 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: Then he shoots a forty two year old woman, claudein Lauera. 378 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: She had been questioning him about the first victim, Melissa 379 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: Currently he got very angry shots shoots her in the 380 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: head too. Uh. Then there then he kills two more 381 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 1: people at the police believe in the timeframe of just 382 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: an hour. Another woman whose name we don't know, who 383 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: was shot in the head, and then this man, Huberto Ortiz, 384 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: a victim who was twenty eight years old. And you know, 385 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think that there could be 386 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: more victims out there. And the way that he managed 387 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: to hide under the radar, disguising himself parading as law 388 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: enforcement did. Joseph's Got Morgan forensics expert, Professor forensics at 389 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: Jacksonville State University and author of a book on Amazon 390 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Fate Joseph's Got Morgan. I believe we're 391 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: going to find out that he did the same thing 392 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: over and over and over, which means to me, forensically 393 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: most of the crime scenes are going to take place 394 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: right there in his truck. Yeah, I think that that's 395 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: that's a high probability. Nancy. Also, I think that it's 396 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: important for us to consider his occupation as a border patrolman. 397 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna put a supervisory position right now. I think 398 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: that there will be other bodies. I think that they 399 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: need to go back and see where else he had 400 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: been stationed. These border patrol agents get stationed along the 401 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: US border in various different locations. I would think that 402 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: he would see these opportunities. He's moved into a supervisory position, 403 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: he can kind of come and go as he pleases. 404 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: I wonder where else he worked and if there are 405 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: any missing or unidentified bodies in those locations too. Ashley Willcott, judge, 406 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: lawyer or founder child crimewatch dot Com. Over and over 407 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: and over when you're on the bench, when you're handling cases. 408 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: I saw it myself, But I mean, I'm not a shrink. 409 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how to verbalize it correctly. But people 410 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: do the same thing over and over and in little things. 411 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: I do the same thing over and over and over again. 412 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean, in small patterns, in your life, with your children, everything. 413 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: We tend to do the same things over and over. 414 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: You know he's done this before. Actually, we we've just 415 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: got the tip of the iceberg on this guy. Oh, 416 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think they're gonna be a 417 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: lot of other victims unfortunately. And you are right, especially 418 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: with criminals. I see it when they come before me, 419 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: the habits, the propensities, the little tiny things that details 420 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,479 Speaker 1: that they do the same over and over again. I 421 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: can hear about a crime and I can say, oh, yeah, 422 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: by the way, I think that's this person. I think 423 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: it's this JUVENI I think it's this one who did this. 424 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: And they'll say, oh, be yep, that's the right one, 425 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: that's the one. Why Because it's the same way of 426 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: operating every single time they come at the crime. You 427 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: know you're right? What is that about? People? Karen start 428 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: joining us New York psychologist Karen. Why do we do 429 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: the same things over and over and over? I can 430 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: tell you last night I was up helping Lucy with 431 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: a book report at eleven o'clock at night. She does 432 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: the same thing every time John David finishes his lou See, 433 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: can I do it later? Can I write one sentence 434 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: today and the rest of the paragraph tomorrow. That's her 435 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: and that I do the same thing. I'm sucked into 436 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: her vortex. I'm like, okay, and then it's eleven o'clock 437 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: at night, and I'm like, we're not going to procrastinate anymore, 438 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you the next time, I'll do the 439 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: same thing again. I tried my cases the same way. 440 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: I found myself writing out evidence proving guilt across a 441 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: poster over and over and over and over for ten years. Okay, 442 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: lucky for me, it worked. But what I'm saying is 443 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: you see the same patterns even in my mistakes, big mistakes, 444 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: small mistakes. It comes from doing the same thing over 445 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: and ever. What is wrong with us were slaves to 446 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: our habits fancy, and it's very, very hard to break 447 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: the patterns that we've lived our life through. And that 448 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: is very helpful when it comes to criminals because they 449 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: can help but repeat what they've done before. They're driven 450 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: to keep doing the stay thing, and it's an obsession. 451 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: They become obsessed with needing to kill, with needing to 452 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: use the guns. You begin to pick up traces and 453 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: can see the patterns of how they work. And that's 454 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: exactly what happened with this guy. That he was in 455 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: a position where he could take advantage of it, and 456 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: she was going after a certain type of person. That's 457 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: what interested him, and he used the gun and it 458 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: kept happening over and over again. The witness had struggled 459 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: with him. Uh she was trying to get out. She 460 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: later found that this person here had a weapon and 461 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: she was not feeling just right to be with him. 462 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: She tried to get away once and then try to 463 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: get away twice, and what I understand, on the second attempt, 464 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: she was able to jump out through the door, run 465 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: towards the lights where a DPS trooper was gassing up 466 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: at the time. She lived to tell the tale. In 467 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: the cab of a truck with this guy, a Border 468 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: Patrol agent very well respected, now revealed to be, according 469 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: to police, a serial killer, and she was his next victim, 470 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: the fifth that we know of. She jumps from the 471 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: cab of that truck. He grabs her by the shirt 472 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: that comes off. She keeps running, thank God, to the 473 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: vehicle of law and enforcement and they save her life. 474 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: To Robert Willinski, Crime online dot Com investigative reporter Robert Wilinski, 475 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: we heard Karen start NewYork psychologists talking about doing the 476 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: same thing over and over. What was this guy ortiz 477 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: as m O his modus operandi, method of operation. He 478 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: was targeting, you know, women who are defenseless, and he 479 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: tried to gain their trust and take them into his vehicle, 480 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: and then after he was done with them, he would 481 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: shoot them. I mean sickening. I think what strikes me, 482 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: Nancy about this case is that here is someone, a 483 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: man who is supposed to be, you know, keeping illegal 484 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: aliens and criminals out of our country. He's supposed to 485 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: be keeping the criminals out, and he's the criminal. He's 486 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: the serial killer. I will tell you this is the 487 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: final point that I would like to interview the people 488 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: that he supervised and hear from them what this guy 489 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: was like as their boss. Wouldn't that be interesting? Yeah? 490 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: I would like to hear that to how he functioning. 491 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: Quote normal regular life to Joseph Scott Morgan, forensics expert 492 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: and author. You know his vehicle has got because you know, 493 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: he did the same thing over and over again. He 494 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: would lure women to his vehicle and attack them, is 495 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: my guests, and then murder them. I believe he were 496 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: going to find out he shot every one of them, 497 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: because I know he pulled out his gun on Erica, 498 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: who managed to get away. Another woman was shot multiple 499 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: times in the head. A third woman was found alive 500 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: having been shot by him in the head. She was 501 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: still alive, Joe Scott Morgan not very far away the 502 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: butt from the body of another woman. She was alive 503 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: when she was found, raced to the hospital and she 504 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: died of her injuries at the hospital. So how do 505 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: you process that rolling crime scene? The murder truck? Yeah, 506 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: this is uh, this vehicle is a crime scene on wheels, literally, Nancy. 507 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: And what's gonna be so uh so key here is 508 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be overlapping bits of evidence in here. 509 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: And specifically, when we think about d n A, what 510 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: makes it so important? Well, other you know, in any 511 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: other circumstance, would these women have wound up in this 512 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: guy's vehicle. Looking at this from a legal perspective, probably not. 513 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: What are the odds so we can find specific DNA 514 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: that's tied back to these individual victims in this vehicle 515 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: that puts them in that particular place. Not to mention 516 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: other things, maybe he shot them in the vehicle, There 517 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: might be traces of blood evidence there, there might be 518 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: hair in there. You never know what has been left behind. 519 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: And also those things that can be seen with the 520 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: unaided I say, for instance, they left items there, maybe 521 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: there's stuff under the seat. So these trucks are going 522 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: to be virtually a cornucopia of evidence in there. Take 523 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: a listen to the Zapotta County District Attorney is Cedrols. 524 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: The evidence that we have right now is that he 525 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: committed these murders in a similar fashion, taking these individuals 526 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: out to desolate areas near or or right outside the 527 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: city limits and executing them with a handgun. The question 528 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: that's out there is why did he do this? And 529 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: that's part of our mission to find out why he 530 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: did this. It's difficult to get into the mind of 531 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: a killer. But what we have right now, and what 532 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: we do know, is that or these carried out these 533 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: murders in a cold, in callous way. There was a 534 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: common scheme. There was a certain community or group of 535 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: people that he was seeking out. Unfortunately, the as a 536 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: community of people that are vulnerable. Bottom line, he sought 537 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: out those people less cunning, less powerful, or weaker than himself. 538 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: He used them and murdered them and would then go 539 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: home to his home and family, his children, as if 540 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: nothing had happened. You know, to Robin Walinsky, Crime online 541 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter, you know this reminds me of 542 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a great deal is b t K bind Torture killed 543 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: Dennis Writer who worked as a dog catcher for a 544 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: municipal jurisdiction for years and years and would go home 545 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: to a wife and family, all the while planning elaborate 546 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: murders and staging of scenes of the dead victims and 547 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: their bodies, putting wigs and clothes, blah blah, all the 548 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: while disguising as a public servant. Yeah, clearly this guy 549 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: had some sort of a complex and inferiority complex, and 550 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: he was living Nancy a double life for sure, and 551 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: clearly I think angry about it. And why else would 552 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: you shoot these women? You know, you're getting pleasure from 553 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: the act of picking up and then you're going and 554 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 1: you're shooting this person, disposing of them like they don't count, 555 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: that their life doesn't matter, and then you go home 556 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: to your other life. I mean, this guy was clearly 557 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: sick for a period of time. Out to you, Ashley Walcott. 558 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: The authorities did not disclose the victim's names or nationality. 559 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: They wouldn't discuss how the uh women were killed or 560 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: the evidence, but we now know the evidence indicates he 561 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: did the same thing over and over. Uh. In one case, 562 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: we know Ortiz orders one of the ladies out of 563 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: his car. It was well, it was a white Dodge truck, 564 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: shot her in the back of the head. He executed 565 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: another woman as she got out of the truck as well. 566 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: That's too. It's amazing to me actually that he is 567 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: married with children, you never know, hiding in plain sight. 568 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: Not only that, that the neighbors are interviewed and said, 569 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: we can't believe it, we can't believe he would do this. 570 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: So that just goes to show regrettably making a murderer. 571 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: Anybody can be a murderer. He's sadistic, he's sick. The 572 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: other thing that's important to note in this case, Nancy, 573 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: he actually worked for the Intel, So think about all 574 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: of the intelligence, part of the Border Control, all of 575 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: the information that they had. He was getting so he 576 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: had all the leads, so he had time to figure 577 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: out exactly which person he was going to choose to 578 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: flat out execute, which is what he did to these victims. 579 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: You know what to Karen start, she's right, as she 580 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: Rollcott is absolutely correct. He was an Intel supervisor and 581 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: Intelligent supervisor for Border Patrol, and he specialized in narcotics 582 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: and human trafficking and at one point was in charge 583 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: of patrolling Interstate thirty five. And we now know at 584 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: least one of the alleged victims was found along that 585 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: same route. And I know for another thing, one of 586 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: these victims, and Melissa Ramirez just twenty nine, had two children, 587 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: ages seven and three, And this is how they're going 588 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: to grow up knowing their mom was lured into this 589 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: vehicle and then murdered. Unfortunately, Nancy, that's true. That's exactly 590 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: what how they're going to grow up and be haunted 591 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,760 Speaker 1: by it. And it's not accidental that he had this job. 592 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: It fits his personality, it fits what he wanted to do. 593 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I would not be amazed to find that this guy 594 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: has picked this job intentionally so that he could go 595 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: ahead and pursue his nefarious gangs what he was looking for. 596 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: And I have to tell you that the reason that 597 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 1: he's able to go ahead and have assumed this other 598 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: identity where his neighbors think he's such a terrific guy 599 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: family man, is he compartmentalizes what's going on, so he 600 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: has no true feelings. He's able to separate himself be 601 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: this fake, wonderful family guy on the one hand and 602 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 1: this murderous, treacherous guy on the other. Well, I just wonder, 603 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: uh if the cops are looking at a bigger time 604 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: spam because this has all just gone down over the 605 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: space of a few weeks that we know of what 606 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: else is lurking, and we can thank one of the 607 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: victims for his capture. Listen, thanks to the victim who escaped. 608 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: Law enforcement got a break more quickly with the information 609 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: than intil that they had. Thank you to the good 610 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: work by DPS and apprehending him. He was taken to 611 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: the station where he was read his Miranda warnings and 612 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: after a thorough interview and interrogation is when he decided 613 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: to voluntarily confess to these murders. We wait as justice unfolls. 614 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: Thank you too, Robin Willinski, Ashley Wilcott, Joseph Scott, Morgan, 615 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: and Karen Stark, and thank you for being with us. 616 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Nancy Gray's crime Story signing off, good Bye friend,
