Speaker 1: Crime Alart hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm Jennifer Gould.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: A US Postal Service worker and Air Force veteran, met

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: a horrific, agonizing end. His body discovered mangled and crushed

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: inside a colossal mail sorting machine after he lay undetected

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: for up to eight hours at a Detroit area distribution center.

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Nicholas nick Acker, thirty six, a maintenance mechanic from Trenton, Michigan,

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: was found dead tangled in the gears of a massive

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: parcel sorting machine at the Detroit Network Distribution Center in

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Allen Park. Authorities believe the nine year Air Force veteran

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: died between four am and six am, leaving his loved

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: ones in a dreadful limbo until the grim discovery was

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: made later. The shock deepened when USPS released a cold

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: clinical statement after the incident. They did send condolences, but

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: they also wrote, quote the NDC is fully operational at

15
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: this time end quote. Acker's fiance Stephanie Josh blasted the response.

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: She spoke to local for news in Detroit. The mail

17
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: still moving. Gross. A man gone, a veteran, a husband,

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: a human being, and all you can think of is

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: saying is males keeps moving inhumane. The catastrophic truth was

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: uncovered thanks to Josh's desperate persistence. She grew frantic when

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: Acker failed to return home from his overnight shift. After

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: he stopped responding to texts and calls. Josh drove to

23
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: the facility, demanding answers from staff, who initially stalled her

24
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: relentless cause for help finally brought emergency crews, fire trucks,

25
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: police and an ambulance to the scene. Josh was forced

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: to endure a harrowing three hour wait outside before Rescue

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Pride open the towering machinery, confirming her worst fears and

28
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: revealing Acker's mangled remains entangled inside. The death was swiftly

29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: ruled an accident by Alan Park Police, triggering an investigation

30
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: into glaring safety lapses and whether mandatory lockout tag out

31
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: safeguards designed to ensure machines are powered down during maintenance

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: were fatally ignored. The tragedy is compounded by a devastating

33
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: detail Acker had proposed to Josh just ten days earlier. Meanwhile,

34
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: colleagues say the workplace is plagued by chronic understaffing and

35
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: outdated equipment, making the death a tragedy just waiting to happen.

36
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: The probe is now in the hands of the US

37
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,720

41
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: US Army gynecologist sworn to care for service women and

42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: military spouses allegedly turned his medical office into a depraved

43
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: surveillance stage, secretly filming thousands of intimate photos of patients

44
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: during gynecological and breast exams. The sickening new lawsuit, filed

45
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: in Bell County District Court, ripped the lid off the

46
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: alleged misconduct of Army Major doctor Blaine mcraw and obgyn

47
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: at Carl R. Darnell Army Medical Center at Fort Hood

48
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: in Texas. The thirteen page complaint, brought by a plaintiff

49
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: ided only as Jane Doe to protect her identity, charges

50
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that mcraw quote used his position of trust to sexually, exploit, manipulate,

51
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: and secretly record women under his care end quote. This

52
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: military member, whose wife is a victim, says he feels

53
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: betrayed by this supposed brother in arms, he spoke anonymously

54
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: to ABC News. Never in my mind would I have

55
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: thought a medical provider, especially in obgyn, would take advantage

56
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: of both the position as well as the profession. Doe,

57
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: who sought treatment for pelvic pain, alleges that across seven

58
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: or eight appointments, McGraw repeatedly dismissed nurses and performed invasive

59
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: breast and vaginal exams that were quote unnecessary, humiliating, and

60
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: profoundly violating end quote. The procedures, she charges, quote had

61
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the medical issues for which she

62
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: sought care end quote. The full scale of the alleged

63
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: depravity emerged when Army Criminal Investigation Division agents contacted the plaintiff.

64
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: They informed her that McGraw had covertly filmed multiple patients.

65
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: In a sub ssequent meeting, investigators showed the shocked woman

66
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: still photos from his confiscated phone that quote unmistakably depicted

67
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: her body during an exam end quote. Just three days earlier,

68
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Attorney Andrew Cobos, who is now representing more than forty

69
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: five alleged victims, many of them wives of active duty soldiers,

70
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: stated that the recovered evidence is catastrophic. Quote thousands of

71
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: photos and videos depicting scores of female patients. End quote.

72
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: But the suit's gravest accusation isn't just against McGraw. It's

73
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: a stinging indictment of the entire military system. Here's Jane

74
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: Doe speaking with NBC News. Shame on you for letting

75
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: this happen. Shame on you for not taking action. Shame

76
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: on you for letting this predator continue to practice. The

77
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: filing charges that the Army allegedly knew about McGraw's predatory

78
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: behavior as far back as twenty nineteen during his previous

79
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: stint at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. By ignoring

80
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: the alarms, the army is accused of giving quote cover

81
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: to a predator in uniform end quote. McGraw's attorney asserts

82
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: he has been fully cooperative, but the victims claim the

83
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: military response has been quote bureaucratic, callous, and wholly inadequate.

84
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: End quote. McGraw has since been suspended from treating patients

85
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: and remains under criminal investigation. And finally, duck and cover,

86
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: the most quacked up lawsuit in Orlando has landed. Hillary

87
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: Martin is suing SeaWorld after a roller coaster ride turned

88
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: into an airborne assault. Martin was riding the park's massive

89
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Maco coaster when suddenly an errant duck flew right into

90
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: her face. That's a foul move for sure. The collision

91
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: allegedly chaoed the Florida woman, causing disfigurement, permanent injury, and

92
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: loss of wages. Martina is now ensuing for at least

93
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: fifty thousand bucks, arguing the theme park created a quote

94
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: zone of danger end quote near open water, failing to

95
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: give guests a proper winged warning, turning a simple thrill

96
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: ride into a feathered felony for her face. The theme

97
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: park is staying mum about the make a mistake, saying

98
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: they don't discuss legal matters, which is sure to ruffle

99
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 1: a few feathers. For the latest crime injustice news, follow
