Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,335 --> 00:00:10,296
In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented
2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,559
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:12,592 --> 00:00:14,530
the police, who investigate crime,
4
00:00:14,563 --> 00:00:17,502
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:17,536 --> 00:00:20,340
These are their stories.
6
00:00:20,374 --> 00:00:22,077
Do you remember when this park
7
00:00:22,111 --> 00:00:24,282
was a refuge from tourists?
8
00:00:24,315 --> 00:00:25,450
You mean back in the '80s,
9
00:00:25,484 --> 00:00:27,454
when it was full of
drug dealers and riots?
10
00:00:27,488 --> 00:00:28,724
The good old days.
11
00:00:28,758 --> 00:00:30,193
And now we've got these
12
00:00:30,227 --> 00:00:31,905
"van life" people hanging around here.
13
00:00:31,930 --> 00:00:33,333
They're kids...
14
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:35,437
Seeking adventure,
living their best life.
15
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:38,176
They're fake hippies driving
gas-guzzling motor homes,
16
00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:39,713
drinking oat milk lattes
17
00:00:39,746 --> 00:00:42,218
all paid for with daddy's
credit card. It's a sham.
18
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:44,138
They're not bothering anyone.
19
00:00:44,163 --> 00:00:45,799
They're a nuisance.
This is what I'm talking about.
20
00:00:45,824 --> 00:00:47,913
Look at all this trash.
21
00:00:49,666 --> 00:00:52,071
It isn't trash.
22
00:00:52,104 --> 00:00:54,543
It's blood.
23
00:00:58,183 --> 00:01:00,044
Van is registered to Amanda Larson.
24
00:01:00,069 --> 00:01:01,590
She's 22 from Columbus, Ohio.
25
00:01:01,624 --> 00:01:03,236
When was the last time
someone had eyes on her?
26
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:04,763
Yesterday afternoon.
27
00:01:04,796 --> 00:01:06,399
What was she doing in Manhattan?
28
00:01:06,432 --> 00:01:08,203
Came to the city five days ago.
29
00:01:08,236 --> 00:01:10,073
- Been living in her vehicle.
- Uh-huh.
30
00:01:10,107 --> 00:01:13,213
- Any summonses on the vehicle?
- No.
31
00:01:13,246 --> 00:01:15,083
What about a wallet?
32
00:01:15,117 --> 00:01:17,254
- Phone?
- Haven't located either.
33
00:01:17,288 --> 00:01:19,325
I think this is one of her shoes.
34
00:01:19,358 --> 00:01:22,398
- Couldn't find the other one.
- Yeah, probably on her foot.
35
00:01:22,431 --> 00:01:24,870
Deep scuff marks on the heel.
36
00:01:24,903 --> 00:01:26,674
Probably being dragged someplace.
37
00:01:26,707 --> 00:01:29,513
Must've lost the other
one in the process.
38
00:01:29,546 --> 00:01:31,513
At first I thought it
was a simple car break,
39
00:01:31,538 --> 00:01:34,188
but the blood, the shoe,
the missing tourist?
40
00:01:34,221 --> 00:01:35,450
Figured I'd better call it in.
41
00:01:35,475 --> 00:01:36,527
Check 911 calls.
42
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Have LMSI pull video
footage from every camera
43
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,402
within a three-block radius.
44
00:01:41,436 --> 00:01:43,239
Also start a canvas on residential
45
00:01:43,273 --> 00:01:45,177
and business cameras.
46
00:01:45,210 --> 00:01:46,412
You got something?
47
00:01:46,446 --> 00:01:49,720
A hammer. Blood looks fresh.
48
00:01:49,753 --> 00:01:51,189
I'll check the hospitals.
49
00:01:51,222 --> 00:01:53,694
She might've ended up
in an emergency room.
50
00:01:53,728 --> 00:01:55,130
Or the morgue.
51
00:02:36,179 --> 00:02:40,202
- Synced and corrected by synk -

52
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:48,436
Amanda and I spent the day together.
53
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:51,242
We got passes to a gym
so we could shower.
54
00:02:51,275 --> 00:02:53,246
And after that, we
went to the laundromat.
55
00:02:53,279 --> 00:02:54,850
What time did you get back here?
56
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:57,655
Um, around 5:00.
57
00:02:57,689 --> 00:02:59,860
Have any idea where she went after this?
58
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:01,295
Who she might have been with?
59
00:03:01,329 --> 00:03:03,266
I knocked on her door at around 10:00
60
00:03:03,299 --> 00:03:05,109
to see if she wanted to do a livestream
61
00:03:05,134 --> 00:03:06,573
in front of the Tenement Museum,
62
00:03:06,607 --> 00:03:08,443
but she wasn't here.
63
00:03:08,476 --> 00:03:10,247
Did you notice the condition of the van?
64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,683
Was the window broken?
65
00:03:11,717 --> 00:03:15,424
No. No, no, nothing like that.
66
00:03:15,457 --> 00:03:16,894
Did you hear anything?
67
00:03:16,927 --> 00:03:18,731
Yelling or glass breaking?
68
00:03:18,764 --> 00:03:23,339
No, but I sleep with a sound machine.
69
00:03:23,373 --> 00:03:25,286
Do you have any idea who
Amanda was hanging with
70
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:27,347
while she was here in New York?
71
00:03:27,381 --> 00:03:30,220
I never saw her with anyone IRL,
72
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:32,491
but she was huge on social media.
73
00:03:32,525 --> 00:03:34,696
She made van life a thing.
74
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:36,332
Living in a van.
75
00:03:36,365 --> 00:03:38,269
How did she make that a thing?
76
00:03:38,303 --> 00:03:39,773
She had a vlog...
77
00:03:39,806 --> 00:03:42,411
Posted about life on the road.
78
00:03:42,444 --> 00:03:44,516
She was actually pretty shy.
79
00:03:44,549 --> 00:03:46,452
But when she was on camera,
80
00:03:46,486 --> 00:03:49,258
everything she did
looked like so much fun.
81
00:03:49,291 --> 00:03:51,429
She's the reason I got a van.
82
00:03:51,462 --> 00:03:53,701
A lot of people feel the same way.
83
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:54,970
How many is a lot?
84
00:03:57,441 --> 00:04:00,380
Like over two million?
85
00:04:02,284 --> 00:04:03,821
And the tips just keep on coming.
86
00:04:03,854 --> 00:04:06,560
I swear, half of her
two million followers
87
00:04:06,593 --> 00:04:09,265
are armchair detectives just
clogging up the phone lines.
88
00:04:09,298 --> 00:04:10,434
Who knows?
89
00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:11,837
Maybe they'll help us find a lead.
90
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:14,609
Yeah, better chance the
Jets win the Super Bowl.
91
00:04:14,643 --> 00:04:16,947
Well, at 10:00 p.m.,
the van was intact.
92
00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:19,553
And at 11:37 p.m.,
93
00:04:19,586 --> 00:04:22,291
she posts from a party in Brooklyn.
94
00:04:22,324 --> 00:04:24,596
And then at 7:24 a.m.,
95
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:27,569
we get the call that the
van has been broken into.
96
00:04:27,609 --> 00:04:29,491
I just got off the phone
with the parents...
97
00:04:29,516 --> 00:04:31,045
They're a wreck.
98
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,948
They said they get a check-in
call from Amanda every morning.
99
00:04:33,981 --> 00:04:36,954
Ten weeks she's been traveling,
never missed a day
100
00:04:36,987 --> 00:04:38,691
until this morning.
101
00:04:38,724 --> 00:04:40,200
They're jumping on a plane and I'd like
102
00:04:40,225 --> 00:04:41,677
to have some news for
them when they land.
103
00:04:41,702 --> 00:04:42,832
- Mm-hmm.
- Where are we at?
104
00:04:42,866 --> 00:04:44,880
Canvassing... haven't
come up with anything,
105
00:04:44,905 --> 00:04:46,607
nothing on the 911 call logs,
106
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,311
and the Missing Persons
Squad have come up empty.
107
00:04:49,345 --> 00:04:50,480
No credit card activity.
108
00:04:50,515 --> 00:04:52,785
Yeah, we should check her
father's credit card too.
109
00:04:52,819 --> 00:04:54,656
He said that she uses it sometimes
110
00:04:54,689 --> 00:04:57,494
when hers is maxed out.
What about her phone?
111
00:04:57,529 --> 00:04:59,766
It's either turned off
or the battery's dead.
112
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:02,304
I put in a request
for a cell site order.
113
00:05:02,337 --> 00:05:04,441
- Forensics?
- F-BIO put a priority
114
00:05:04,475 --> 00:05:05,578
on the testing of the blood
115
00:05:05,611 --> 00:05:07,314
and promised a quick turnaround.
116
00:05:07,347 --> 00:05:09,451
Let's retrace her last steps,
117
00:05:09,485 --> 00:05:11,857
starting with her last-known location,
118
00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:13,694
which is the party, and then we're gonna
119
00:05:13,727 --> 00:05:15,225
have to work forward from there.
120
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:17,366
Already have Unis canvassing the area.
121
00:05:17,391 --> 00:05:19,940
And one of them just
found a potential witness
122
00:05:19,973 --> 00:05:21,844
in East Williamsburg.
123
00:05:21,877 --> 00:05:22,877
Let's go.
124
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:26,687
Do you know who Amanda Larson is?
125
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,358
Yeah, I know her. I DM'd her to come.
126
00:05:29,391 --> 00:05:32,397
- Put her on the VIP list.
- Why's that?
127
00:05:32,431 --> 00:05:33,801
She's a big influencer.
128
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:36,439
Yeah, she posts about how
much fun she's having?
129
00:05:36,472 --> 00:05:40,013
Exactly... Gives the party cred.
130
00:05:40,046 --> 00:05:43,921
All it cost me was bottle service.
131
00:05:43,954 --> 00:05:45,758
You talk to her?
132
00:05:45,791 --> 00:05:46,898
For a few seconds.
133
00:05:46,923 --> 00:05:48,992
Seemed pretty cool. Good vibe.
134
00:05:49,017 --> 00:05:50,735
You see her hanging out with anyone?
135
00:05:50,768 --> 00:05:53,406
She spent most of the time in
the VIP section over there.
136
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:55,511
Everyone was trying to
take selfies with her.
137
00:05:55,545 --> 00:05:58,049
But, uh, there was a dude...
138
00:05:58,082 --> 00:06:00,988
He runs a vegan lifestyle blog.
139
00:06:01,022 --> 00:06:03,393
Think they left together.
140
00:06:03,426 --> 00:06:05,731
We're gonna need his name.
141
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:07,744
_
142
00:06:07,769 --> 00:06:09,405
Yeah. Yeah, I know Amanda.
143
00:06:09,438 --> 00:06:10,984
Yeah, I met her last night.
144
00:06:11,009 --> 00:06:12,645
I was just telling Megan about her.
145
00:06:12,679 --> 00:06:14,516
I can't believe what happened.
146
00:06:14,549 --> 00:06:16,720
I mean, her blood was all
over her van like that.
147
00:06:16,753 --> 00:06:19,058
Wait... how'd you know
there was blood on the van?
148
00:06:19,372 --> 00:06:20,976
It's all over social media.
149
00:06:22,064 --> 00:06:23,466
Let me show you.
150
00:06:27,207 --> 00:06:28,877
Hmm.
151
00:06:30,313 --> 00:06:32,446
You go to the party, Megan?
152
00:06:33,453 --> 00:06:35,725
I wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home.
153
00:06:37,127 --> 00:06:39,098
So you were here all night?
154
00:06:39,131 --> 00:06:41,503
I was still up when Toby got home.
155
00:06:41,536 --> 00:06:44,809
We went through the content
from the party together.
156
00:06:44,843 --> 00:06:46,133
What time was that?
157
00:06:46,158 --> 00:06:47,682
Like 2:00?
158
00:06:47,715 --> 00:06:48,951
2:15?
159
00:06:48,984 --> 00:06:51,489
You come back alone?
160
00:06:51,523 --> 00:06:53,727
Yeah, yeah.
161
00:06:53,761 --> 00:06:57,602
Um, Amanda and I walked
to the subway together.
162
00:06:57,635 --> 00:07:00,942
I got on the L train, Eastbound, and...
163
00:07:00,975 --> 00:07:03,547
last time I saw her,
she was on the platform
164
00:07:03,580 --> 00:07:05,183
waiting to go to Manhattan.
165
00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:10,594
We'll need you and Megan
166
00:07:10,628 --> 00:07:12,108
to come down to the precinct with us.
167
00:07:13,499 --> 00:07:16,105
Uh, o-okay. Why?
168
00:07:16,138 --> 00:07:17,942
Because you're lying your ass off.
169
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,623
You see where Amanda is standing?
170
00:07:24,656 --> 00:07:26,406
Looks like a bank... An ATM.
171
00:07:26,431 --> 00:07:28,129
You see what time that
picture was taken?
172
00:07:28,162 --> 00:07:30,066
It says 4:06 this morning.
173
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,072
That's when Amanda used
her father's credit card
174
00:07:33,106 --> 00:07:35,645
to withdraw cash.
175
00:07:35,678 --> 00:07:37,949
Guess where that ATM is located.
176
00:07:37,982 --> 00:07:40,821
Across the street from
your apartment, Toby!
177
00:07:40,855 --> 00:07:43,493
Which tells me you and
Amanda didn't part ways
178
00:07:43,527 --> 00:07:45,598
on that subway platform like you said.
179
00:07:49,539 --> 00:07:51,475
Time to tell the truth.
180
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:53,881
Otherwise, you and Toby are gonna be
181
00:07:53,914 --> 00:07:56,758
the lead suspects in
a kidnap-murder plot.
182
00:07:59,659 --> 00:08:02,164
I saw her in the apartment.
183
00:08:02,197 --> 00:08:04,001
When?
184
00:08:04,034 --> 00:08:05,938
Around 2:00.
185
00:08:05,971 --> 00:08:07,809
She came home with Toby.
186
00:08:07,842 --> 00:08:09,520
And how did that make you feel, Megan?
187
00:08:09,545 --> 00:08:12,184
- Angry? Jealous?
- No.
188
00:08:12,217 --> 00:08:13,721
Your boyfriend brings another woman
189
00:08:13,754 --> 00:08:15,891
to your apartment at
2:00 in the morning?
190
00:08:15,925 --> 00:08:18,664
- You had to feel something...
- It's not like that!
191
00:08:18,697 --> 00:08:22,170
Toby can hook up with
anyone he wants to.
192
00:08:22,204 --> 00:08:24,809
We're not together anymore.
193
00:08:24,843 --> 00:08:27,682
Megan and I broke up
a couple months ago.
194
00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:30,588
You know, we still live
together and everything...
195
00:08:30,613 --> 00:08:32,534
Um, we just live in
separate bedrooms, you know?
196
00:08:32,558 --> 00:08:34,629
She does her thing, I do my thing.
197
00:08:34,662 --> 00:08:38,570
Then why lie about bringing Amanda home?
198
00:08:38,604 --> 00:08:40,641
Our blog is called "Two Vegans in Love,"
199
00:08:40,674 --> 00:08:45,216
and it's about us as a
couple living a healthy life.
200
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:47,955
If people find out that...
That Megan and I broke up,
201
00:08:47,989 --> 00:08:49,926
I mean, it'll... It'll ruin everything.
202
00:08:49,959 --> 00:08:52,197
You held up a potential
homicide investigation
203
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:53,867
to protect your brand?
204
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:58,549
It took us one year to
reach influencer status.
205
00:08:58,658 --> 00:09:00,781
It's how we pay the bills!
206
00:09:03,754 --> 00:09:07,327
Amanda left my apartment around 4:00.
207
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,233
She was alone, and...
208
00:09:10,266 --> 00:09:11,937
I never saw her again.
209
00:09:19,753 --> 00:09:21,122
Lab work came back.
210
00:09:21,155 --> 00:09:24,161
The DNA profile shows
that the blood in the van
211
00:09:24,194 --> 00:09:25,698
didn't belong to Amanda.
212
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,002
Might be good news,
she might still be alive.
213
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:31,242
Hopefully, but if the blood
at the scene isn't Amanda's...
214
00:09:31,275 --> 00:09:34,181
It belongs to a guy by
the name of Joseph Denzig.
215
00:09:34,214 --> 00:09:35,618
We got a hit in the database.
216
00:09:35,651 --> 00:09:38,991
His rap sheet looks
like a receipt from CVS.
217
00:09:39,024 --> 00:09:42,316
Track him down... Before
the internet does.
218
00:09:42,341 --> 00:09:44,268
I don't want a mob of amateur sleuths
219
00:09:44,301 --> 00:09:47,942
hearing about this and taking
the law into their own hands.
220
00:09:49,792 --> 00:09:51,519
_
221
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:54,889
What happened to your wrist, Joey?
222
00:09:54,923 --> 00:09:56,693
I fell.
223
00:09:56,726 --> 00:09:58,062
Climbing over a fence.
224
00:09:58,095 --> 00:09:59,632
Mm-hmm.
225
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:01,089
Where were you yesterday morning
226
00:10:01,114 --> 00:10:03,607
between the hours of
4:00 and 7:00 a.m.?
227
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,813
Here... sleeping.
228
00:10:06,847 --> 00:10:10,788
Are you familiar with a
woman named Amanda Larson?
229
00:10:10,821 --> 00:10:11,923
Never heard of her.
230
00:10:11,957 --> 00:10:13,417
That's strange, 'cause I just found
231
00:10:13,442 --> 00:10:15,029
her driver's license in your closet.
232
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,934
Turn around. Turn around!
233
00:10:19,973 --> 00:10:23,146
Let's go. Let's go.
234
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:32,151
Your blood is all over
Amanda Larson's van.
235
00:10:32,176 --> 00:10:33,710
We don't have time for 20 questions.
236
00:10:33,734 --> 00:10:34,936
Where's the girl?
237
00:10:34,969 --> 00:10:36,940
I told you, I have no idea.
238
00:10:36,973 --> 00:10:38,811
Man, we've seen your priors.
239
00:10:38,844 --> 00:10:40,948
You're not a kidnapper...
You're a thief.
240
00:10:40,981 --> 00:10:43,270
So what happened, hmm?
241
00:10:44,354 --> 00:10:46,392
I used a hammer to smash
the window on her van.
242
00:10:46,425 --> 00:10:49,131
When I reached in and unlocked
the door, I sliced my wrist.
243
00:10:49,164 --> 00:10:52,672
- Almost bled out.
- Mm-hmm, and Amanda was there?
244
00:10:52,705 --> 00:10:54,208
Right before I broke in,
245
00:10:54,241 --> 00:10:56,780
I saw her coming down the street.
246
00:10:56,813 --> 00:10:59,351
She walked up to the van,
but a guy came out of nowhere
247
00:10:59,384 --> 00:11:00,888
and started yelling at her.
248
00:11:00,921 --> 00:11:02,825
There was somebody waiting for her?
249
00:11:02,859 --> 00:11:04,127
They argued,
250
00:11:04,161 --> 00:11:05,998
then he grabbed her
and dragged her away.
251
00:11:06,031 --> 00:11:07,467
She dropped her purse,
252
00:11:07,502 --> 00:11:09,961
and she was kicking so much,
one of her shoes flew off.
253
00:11:09,986 --> 00:11:11,977
Okay, you just stood there
and let that happen, huh?
254
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:13,881
Let a dude just snatch her up like that?
255
00:11:13,914 --> 00:11:15,487
Look, I ain't no hero, bro.
256
00:11:15,512 --> 00:11:17,174
Yeah, either you're
lying or you're a coward.
257
00:11:17,199 --> 00:11:18,549
- Look...
- Neither is good.
258
00:11:18,574 --> 00:11:19,893
I didn't touch that girl.
259
00:11:19,926 --> 00:11:21,997
- I swear!
- Okay, what did he look like?
260
00:11:22,030 --> 00:11:24,101
- The guy who grabbed her?
- I didn't see his face.
261
00:11:24,134 --> 00:11:26,706
Height, hair color? Anything?
262
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:29,111
Brown hair. Around my height.
263
00:11:29,144 --> 00:11:31,015
He dragged her to a blue
and tan pickup truck.
264
00:11:31,048 --> 00:11:33,452
A blue and tan truck? Okay.
265
00:11:33,486 --> 00:11:35,189
You see the license plate?
266
00:11:35,223 --> 00:11:38,797
No, but I'm pretty sure it was a Chevy.
267
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:40,801
Put him in.
268
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:43,206
Watch your head.
269
00:11:43,239 --> 00:11:44,842
Hey, everyone, it's Amanda.
270
00:11:44,876 --> 00:11:47,480
I wasn't able to drive my
van all the way to Paris.
271
00:11:47,515 --> 00:11:49,184
Posted March 1st.
272
00:11:49,218 --> 00:11:51,923
That's two days before
Amanda went missing.
273
00:11:51,957 --> 00:11:54,161
To see the beautiful arch.
274
00:11:54,194 --> 00:11:55,496
Check out the background.
275
00:11:55,531 --> 00:11:57,367
That's a blue and tan truck.
276
00:12:00,073 --> 00:12:01,784
Even though it's freezing,
277
00:12:01,809 --> 00:12:03,513
the park is just full of energy.
278
00:12:03,547 --> 00:12:06,886
There are kids on strollers,
and dogs, street performers...
279
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,456
Pause it right there.
280
00:12:08,489 --> 00:12:11,817
Maybe that's the guy that
Denzig was describing.
281
00:12:12,999 --> 00:12:15,544
And here's another video that
she posted about an hour later.
282
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:17,207
It is such a beautiful day.
283
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,444
It is freezing... it literally
feels like ten degrees.
284
00:12:19,478 --> 00:12:21,148
Wait, stop it right there.
285
00:12:22,785 --> 00:12:27,227
- Same clothes, same guy.
- Maybe she has a stalker.
286
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:30,300
Made it easy for him...
Posted every detail of her life
287
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:34,074
and her future plans.
A predator's dream.
288
00:12:34,107 --> 00:12:36,880
I know you are not implying
that this is her fault.
289
00:12:36,913 --> 00:12:38,417
No, I'm just making an observation.
290
00:12:38,442 --> 00:12:40,086
Call me old-fashioned, call me paranoid,
291
00:12:40,119 --> 00:12:41,440
I don't give a rat's ass.
292
00:12:41,465 --> 00:12:43,092
That is why my kids
293
00:12:43,125 --> 00:12:45,296
don't have social media accounts.
294
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,539
All right, send a screenshot
over to Facial Rec
295
00:12:49,572 --> 00:12:52,845
and have SMART do a deep
dive on social media.
296
00:12:52,878 --> 00:12:55,350
Let's go back to the area
where Amanda's van was parked
297
00:12:55,383 --> 00:12:57,888
and see if anybody knows this guy.
298
00:12:59,892 --> 00:13:02,330
We're so grateful to all
of you for coming out.
299
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,001
There's a sign-up list for volunteers
300
00:13:04,034 --> 00:13:05,403
at the entrance to the park,
301
00:13:05,436 --> 00:13:08,342
right next to the fliers
with Amanda's photo.
302
00:13:08,376 --> 00:13:11,248
We're asking people to pass
them out to anyone you see.
303
00:13:11,281 --> 00:13:14,121
At the grocery store,
your school, your church.
304
00:13:14,154 --> 00:13:15,854
- We appreciate all of you...
- Thank you.
305
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,295
For helping us find our
beloved daughter, Amanda.
306
00:13:18,329 --> 00:13:20,266
She's gonna be more
recognizable than the Pope.
307
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:21,940
Yeah, this is what happens
308
00:13:21,965 --> 00:13:25,109
when a pretty white girl goes missing.
309
00:13:25,143 --> 00:13:28,382
- Haley, hey.
- Oh, hi. Nice to see you.
310
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:32,567
Do, uh, do any one of
you recognize this guy?
311
00:13:33,326 --> 00:13:35,430
Oh, yeah, I've seen him before.
312
00:13:35,463 --> 00:13:36,823
Around here?
313
00:13:36,848 --> 00:13:39,471
No, we matched on You
First a few days ago.
314
00:13:39,505 --> 00:13:41,008
Huh?
315
00:13:41,041 --> 00:13:43,145
- It's a dating app.
- You went out with him?
316
00:13:43,179 --> 00:13:45,383
No, no, he's like a Wall Street guy.
317
00:13:45,416 --> 00:13:46,768
He's not my type.
318
00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,534
You think I can take
a look at his profile?
319
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,099
Yeah, he said his name
was Tim something...
320
00:13:55,169 --> 00:13:57,140
Suspect's real name
is Daniel Garrett.
321
00:13:57,173 --> 00:13:58,807
He's all over the dating sites.
322
00:13:58,832 --> 00:14:00,446
He has, like, 12 different aliases.
323
00:14:00,488 --> 00:14:03,460
Yeah, and I bet each one
has a phony r�sum� too.
324
00:14:03,486 --> 00:14:05,089
He told Amanda he was an oncologist,
325
00:14:05,123 --> 00:14:06,993
served in the military, and volunteers
326
00:14:07,027 --> 00:14:08,530
for the local animal shelter.
327
00:14:08,563 --> 00:14:12,070
They arranged to meet two
days before she went missing.
328
00:14:12,103 --> 00:14:13,439
They spent the day together.
329
00:14:13,472 --> 00:14:16,378
- So he's not a stalker?
- No, they were on a date.
330
00:14:16,412 --> 00:14:18,950
He messaged her to meet up again,
331
00:14:18,984 --> 00:14:20,119
"You wanna go out tonight?"
332
00:14:20,153 --> 00:14:21,488
She blows him off.
333
00:14:21,523 --> 00:14:24,562
Okay, so she goes to this loft party
334
00:14:24,595 --> 00:14:27,400
- on Wednesday night, right?
- Yeah.
335
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:31,275
And then she posts all about
it on her social media,
336
00:14:31,308 --> 00:14:33,914
making it look like she
had the time of her life.
337
00:14:33,947 --> 00:14:36,986
And I'm guessing it didn't
sit so well with Garrett.
338
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:38,807
Hey, have we tracked down his truck yet?
339
00:14:38,832 --> 00:14:40,193
- No.
- Working on it.
340
00:14:40,226 --> 00:14:42,430
Have we tried pinging his phone?
341
00:14:42,464 --> 00:14:43,845
It's turned off.
342
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:45,671
What about his boss, his neighbors?
343
00:14:45,704 --> 00:14:48,342
No one's seen him in
the past three days.
344
00:14:48,375 --> 00:14:50,146
- Parents?
- Father deceased,
345
00:14:50,179 --> 00:14:51,649
mother lives in Tampa.
346
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:52,952
All right.
347
00:14:52,985 --> 00:14:54,221
Let's call the local PD
348
00:14:54,254 --> 00:14:55,838
and send someone over to her house,
349
00:14:55,863 --> 00:14:57,127
just in case he reaches out.
350
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,533
License plate readers show Garrett
351
00:14:58,558 --> 00:14:59,932
driving through the Lincoln Tunnel
352
00:14:59,966 --> 00:15:02,103
5:12 a.m. Thursday morning.
353
00:15:02,137 --> 00:15:04,408
Do we know what exit he took?
354
00:15:04,441 --> 00:15:07,480
7. Bordentown.
355
00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:09,384
That's ten minutes from
Wharton State Park.
356
00:15:09,418 --> 00:15:12,123
A hundred thousand
acres of trees and mud.
357
00:15:12,157 --> 00:15:14,294
Hell of a place to bury a body.
358
00:15:36,038 --> 00:15:37,708
Over here.
359
00:15:37,741 --> 00:15:40,046
Clearing about 50 yards up ahead.
360
00:15:53,616 --> 00:15:55,511
That's his truck.
361
00:16:03,225 --> 00:16:05,531
- Freeze! Police!
- We got him!
362
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,377
He's going to the river!
363
00:16:26,038 --> 00:16:27,307
Stop moving!
364
00:16:33,152 --> 00:16:36,024
Get up. Get up!
365
00:16:36,058 --> 00:16:38,229
What have you done with Amanda?
366
00:16:38,254 --> 00:16:39,607
What have you done?
367
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:41,736
Hey, hey, hey! All good, Frank?
368
00:16:48,161 --> 00:16:49,944
Yeah, I'm good.
369
00:16:55,329 --> 00:16:58,068
- Junior. Get him in there.
- Yes, sir.
370
00:16:58,102 --> 00:17:00,239
Hey, any sign of Amanda?
371
00:17:00,273 --> 00:17:02,427
No, but we got a shovel with fresh dirt,
372
00:17:02,452 --> 00:17:05,483
zip ties, and an empty bag of lye.
373
00:17:05,517 --> 00:17:08,022
Oh, that son of a bitch
buried her already...
374
00:17:09,491 --> 00:17:11,028
Somewhere.
375
00:17:15,837 --> 00:17:18,008
Where'd you bury her, Daniel?
376
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:22,050
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
377
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:24,120
There's still fresh dirt on the shovel.
378
00:17:24,154 --> 00:17:25,691
There was a bag of lye in your pickup.
379
00:17:25,724 --> 00:17:27,293
What was that for?
380
00:17:27,327 --> 00:17:28,830
We've seen your dating profile.
381
00:17:28,863 --> 00:17:31,603
- We know you went out with her.
- So?
382
00:17:31,636 --> 00:17:35,001
She blew you off and it made you very,
very upset.
383
00:17:35,026 --> 00:17:36,962
Just... Just tell us where she is.
384
00:17:38,382 --> 00:17:40,353
Tell us where she is, or I swear to God!
385
00:17:40,386 --> 00:17:42,524
Frank!
386
00:17:49,137 --> 00:17:50,892
I want a lawyer.
387
00:17:53,412 --> 00:17:54,582
Now.
388
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:58,322
Let's go.
389
00:18:02,765 --> 00:18:04,434
Clock's running out.
390
00:18:04,467 --> 00:18:07,775
I can only hold him another 18 hours.
391
00:18:07,808 --> 00:18:10,112
You want us to charge him?
392
00:18:10,146 --> 00:18:11,716
With what?
393
00:18:11,749 --> 00:18:13,218
Felony murder.
394
00:18:14,354 --> 00:18:16,325
We don't have a body.
395
00:18:16,358 --> 00:18:17,852
I don't think we even have enough
396
00:18:17,877 --> 00:18:19,598
to make a kidnapping case right now.
397
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:25,611
I'll run it up the flagpole.
398
00:18:29,384 --> 00:18:31,522
We have a decent circumstantial case.
399
00:18:31,556 --> 00:18:35,129
Without a body, it is
definitely less than decent.
400
00:18:35,162 --> 00:18:36,666
What evidence do you have?
401
00:18:36,699 --> 00:18:39,404
We found Amanda's prints
in Garrett's truck.
402
00:18:39,437 --> 00:18:41,341
They went on a date.
She was in his truck.
403
00:18:41,375 --> 00:18:44,214
We also have a witness
who saw someone matching
404
00:18:44,247 --> 00:18:46,167
Garrett's description
grab her off the street.
405
00:18:46,192 --> 00:18:48,188
A witness with a four-page rap sheet
406
00:18:48,222 --> 00:18:50,226
who was unable to make a positive ID.
407
00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:52,363
Garrett was hiding in the woods
408
00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:54,735
with a shovel, zip ties, lye.
409
00:18:54,769 --> 00:18:56,773
I'm not saying it's perfect,
410
00:18:56,806 --> 00:18:58,576
but we definitely have something...
411
00:18:58,610 --> 00:19:00,379
Definitely enough to charge him.
412
00:19:00,413 --> 00:19:02,450
But not enough to convict.
413
00:19:02,483 --> 00:19:04,822
As it stands,
we can't even prove Amanda's dead.
414
00:19:04,855 --> 00:19:07,293
Are you questioning
whether or not she's dead?
415
00:19:07,327 --> 00:19:08,863
No, I'm questioning whether or not
416
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,168
we can convince a jury she's dead.
417
00:19:11,201 --> 00:19:12,590
We get one bite at the apple.
418
00:19:12,615 --> 00:19:14,441
I don't want to blow it
by moving too quickly.
419
00:19:14,474 --> 00:19:17,313
Wharton State Forest is massive.
420
00:19:17,347 --> 00:19:20,854
Good chance we never
find Amanda's remains.
421
00:19:20,887 --> 00:19:24,895
It's not ideal,
but you need to move forward.
422
00:19:24,929 --> 00:19:27,801
Try this case with what we have.
423
00:19:30,807 --> 00:19:34,381
With all due respect,
you want to try a murder case
424
00:19:34,414 --> 00:19:37,186
even though we can't prove how, when,
425
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:39,257
or even if the victim was killed?
426
00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:41,863
- That's correct.
- May I ask why?
427
00:19:41,896 --> 00:19:45,403
Because it's a hell of a lot
better than the alternative.
428
00:19:54,713 --> 00:19:58,625
Docket number CR-200931-22
People v Daniel
429
00:19:58,650 --> 00:20:01,512
Garrett alleging murder
in the first degree.
430
00:20:01,537 --> 00:20:03,078
How do you plead, Mr. Garrett?
431
00:20:03,103 --> 00:20:04,906
- Not guilty.
- Bail?
432
00:20:04,931 --> 00:20:07,581
Mr. Garrett is accused of
felony murder in connection
433
00:20:07,614 --> 00:20:10,453
with the kidnapping and
slaying of Amanda Larson.
434
00:20:10,486 --> 00:20:12,490
The defendant has no significant ties
435
00:20:12,524 --> 00:20:14,695
to the community and has
already proven himself
436
00:20:14,729 --> 00:20:15,864
to be a flight risk.
437
00:20:15,897 --> 00:20:18,435
He was apprehended hiding at a campsite
438
00:20:18,469 --> 00:20:20,774
deep in the woods of Wharton Forest.
439
00:20:20,807 --> 00:20:22,009
People seek remand.
440
00:20:22,043 --> 00:20:23,513
I'll hear you on bail.
441
00:20:23,546 --> 00:20:27,253
I am filing a motion to dismiss.
442
00:20:27,286 --> 00:20:30,761
The complaint is legally insufficient.
443
00:20:30,794 --> 00:20:32,598
The people will never be able to present
444
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:34,267
a prima facie murder case.
445
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:36,506
There are no forensics linking
my client to the crime,
446
00:20:36,539 --> 00:20:39,779
and, in fact,
no evidence that a crime even occurred.
447
00:20:39,812 --> 00:20:42,016
There is no body.
448
00:20:42,049 --> 00:20:44,487
You're bringing a homicide
case without a body?
449
00:20:44,522 --> 00:20:46,759
It's true that the victim's remains
450
00:20:46,793 --> 00:20:48,262
haven't yet been recovered.
451
00:20:48,295 --> 00:20:49,999
Because she isn't dead.
452
00:20:50,032 --> 00:20:51,936
Amanda Larson is a social media star.
453
00:20:51,969 --> 00:20:53,773
This is all a big publicity stunt.
454
00:20:53,807 --> 00:20:55,042
That's preposterous.
455
00:20:55,075 --> 00:20:57,413
I literally just read
on Twitter that she's
456
00:20:57,447 --> 00:20:59,819
in the Bahamas sitting on the beach.
457
00:20:59,852 --> 00:21:01,556
Perhaps I'm a purist, Counselor...
458
00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:03,693
I don't accept tweets as evidence.
459
00:21:03,726 --> 00:21:05,429
Motion denied.
460
00:21:05,463 --> 00:21:08,035
The defendant is remanded. Next case.
461
00:21:10,072 --> 00:21:12,070
It's pretty clear the
defense is gonna focus
462
00:21:12,095 --> 00:21:13,980
on Amanda's social media presence,
463
00:21:14,013 --> 00:21:15,984
claim this is all part
464
00:21:16,017 --> 00:21:19,357
of some big, twisted attention grab.
465
00:21:19,390 --> 00:21:22,430
There's a lot of money
in being an influencer.
466
00:21:22,463 --> 00:21:24,367
- Your point?
- All they have to do is
467
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,704
convince one juror that
468
00:21:25,737 --> 00:21:28,576
there's a possibility
that Amanda is alive,
469
00:21:28,610 --> 00:21:31,849
that this is a publicity stunt,
and we have a mistrial.
470
00:21:31,883 --> 00:21:35,322
So let's, uh,
471
00:21:35,356 --> 00:21:37,360
let's keep all social media addicts
472
00:21:37,393 --> 00:21:39,865
and aspiring influencers off the jury.
473
00:21:39,899 --> 00:21:42,436
That's pretty much everyone under 30.
474
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:45,811
And anyone with negative
views of social media stars.
475
00:21:45,844 --> 00:21:48,348
That's pretty much everyone over 30.
476
00:21:50,854 --> 00:21:53,560
Garrett had a social media
presence as well, correct?
477
00:21:53,593 --> 00:21:54,786
Yeah.
478
00:21:54,811 --> 00:21:57,701
It was complete fiction,
but he had presence,
479
00:21:57,734 --> 00:21:58,937
especially on the dating apps.
480
00:21:58,970 --> 00:22:01,609
So then it's doubtful that
Amanda was the first woman that
481
00:22:01,642 --> 00:22:03,646
he ever reeled in with a fake persona.
482
00:22:06,051 --> 00:22:07,621
Want me to look for other victims?
483
00:22:07,654 --> 00:22:11,529
Or at least other people
that he duped or stalked.
484
00:22:11,562 --> 00:22:13,031
Worth a try.
485
00:22:18,843 --> 00:22:22,618
We've identified six women...
All willing to testify
486
00:22:22,651 --> 00:22:24,989
they met Mr. Garrett through phony,
487
00:22:25,022 --> 00:22:27,594
duplicitous social media interactions.
488
00:22:27,628 --> 00:22:29,497
Garrett would present
himself as a doctor,
489
00:22:29,532 --> 00:22:32,838
a lawyer, a banker,
then meet these women.
490
00:22:32,871 --> 00:22:34,549
When they discovered he was lying,
491
00:22:34,574 --> 00:22:36,411
they ended the date,
or the relationship,
492
00:22:36,444 --> 00:22:38,783
as the case may be, at which point
493
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:40,887
Garrett got incensed,
494
00:22:40,921 --> 00:22:44,728
lashed out at the women,
called them whores, tramps.
495
00:22:44,762 --> 00:22:46,599
In two separate instances,
496
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:49,070
he actually assaulted the women.
497
00:22:49,103 --> 00:22:51,441
- And you want them to testify?
- Yes.
498
00:22:51,474 --> 00:22:53,680
How is their testimony remotely relevant
499
00:22:53,713 --> 00:22:54,715
to this murder case?
500
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:56,644
We'll demonstrate a clear
pattern of behavior,
501
00:22:56,669 --> 00:22:57,888
admissible under Molineux.
502
00:22:57,921 --> 00:23:00,129
Molineux requires prior
bad acts similar in nature.
503
00:23:00,154 --> 00:23:02,396
My client obviously didn't
kill any of these women.
504
00:23:02,430 --> 00:23:04,935
He came damn close...
Two different times.
505
00:23:04,969 --> 00:23:06,806
Hit one woman in the face.
506
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:09,678
He forced another into
his truck at knife point.
507
00:23:09,712 --> 00:23:11,414
Fortunately, she managed to escape.
508
00:23:11,439 --> 00:23:13,360
Your Honor, none of
this has anything to do
509
00:23:13,385 --> 00:23:15,407
with whether or not my
client killed Amanda Larson.
510
00:23:15,432 --> 00:23:17,828
It'll give the jury a
complete and accurate picture
511
00:23:17,861 --> 00:23:19,197
of who the defendant really is.
512
00:23:19,230 --> 00:23:21,769
That he is capable of violence.
513
00:23:24,875 --> 00:23:26,378
It's a close call.
514
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:31,822
But the prejudicial impact
outweighs the probative value.
515
00:23:31,856 --> 00:23:33,125
Motion is denied.
516
00:23:38,001 --> 00:23:39,437
We'll be fine.
517
00:23:39,470 --> 00:23:41,809
We just need to dig into
the evidence we have.
518
00:23:41,842 --> 00:23:43,579
When all the facts have been presented,
519
00:23:43,613 --> 00:23:45,717
the only logical conclusion will be
520
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:48,121
Garrett threw her in
his truck, killed her,
521
00:23:48,155 --> 00:23:49,959
then buried her body in that state park.
522
00:23:49,992 --> 00:23:52,463
I hope you're right.
523
00:23:52,496 --> 00:23:55,637
- Are they here for us?
- Oh, no.
524
00:23:55,670 --> 00:23:56,906
What?
525
00:23:56,939 --> 00:24:00,446
A new photo was just posted
on Amanda's social media feed.
526
00:24:00,479 --> 00:24:02,517
"A little fun in the sun."
527
00:24:02,551 --> 00:24:04,555
Tag says she's in Cancun?
528
00:24:04,588 --> 00:24:06,592
Someone must've hacked her account.
529
00:24:06,626 --> 00:24:08,663
Posted six minutes
ago, and it already has
530
00:24:08,688 --> 00:24:10,734
over 5,000 comments.
531
00:24:10,767 --> 00:24:13,138
A lot of people are giving her emojis,
532
00:24:13,171 --> 00:24:15,577
smiley faces, and thumbs up.
533
00:24:15,610 --> 00:24:17,420
Mr. Price, what do you think
about Amanda Larson's photo?
534
00:24:17,445 --> 00:24:18,792
Are you going to ask
the Mexican authorities
535
00:24:18,816 --> 00:24:20,019
to help find her?
536
00:24:20,052 --> 00:24:22,791
I just read that your office
is going to drop the charges.
537
00:24:22,824 --> 00:24:26,498
No, that's false.
We're not dropping the charges.
538
00:24:26,532 --> 00:24:28,670
Beyond that, I have no further comment.
539
00:24:36,971 --> 00:24:40,903
There's no way Amanda posted that
photograph. Not in a million years.
540
00:24:40,927 --> 00:24:42,531
Why do you say that?
541
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:44,133
I know my daughter.
542
00:24:44,167 --> 00:24:47,908
She's a kind, loving,
conscientious woman.
543
00:24:47,941 --> 00:24:51,214
If she were alive,
she would let us know.
544
00:24:51,247 --> 00:24:53,185
She would call me.
545
00:24:53,218 --> 00:24:55,924
Were you and Amanda close?
546
00:24:55,957 --> 00:24:57,994
We talked on the phone every day.
547
00:24:58,028 --> 00:25:01,869
I loved hearing about her life,
her adventures.
548
00:25:01,902 --> 00:25:05,042
Did she have plans to take a break
549
00:25:05,075 --> 00:25:07,179
from the road, come home for a few days?
550
00:25:07,213 --> 00:25:09,059
Yes, she was going to
surprise her grandfather
551
00:25:09,083 --> 00:25:11,722
for his 80th birthday.
552
00:25:11,756 --> 00:25:13,559
We were supposed to have a party.
553
00:25:13,593 --> 00:25:15,797
It would've been yesterday.
554
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:18,068
She never would've missed it.
555
00:25:18,101 --> 00:25:19,103
Never.
556
00:25:21,575 --> 00:25:22,711
Thank you.
557
00:25:22,744 --> 00:25:24,648
And again, I'm sorry for your loss.
558
00:25:26,852 --> 00:25:28,055
Your witness.
559
00:25:29,958 --> 00:25:31,929
Good afternoon, Ms. Larson.
560
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:38,075
I'm going to have to ask you
some difficult questions.
561
00:25:38,108 --> 00:25:41,549
How many social media
followers did Amanda have
562
00:25:41,582 --> 00:25:43,318
when she started her van life adventure?
563
00:25:43,351 --> 00:25:46,224
- I'm not sure.
- About two million.
564
00:25:46,257 --> 00:25:47,594
Does that sound about right?
565
00:25:47,627 --> 00:25:49,865
I know that she was very popular.
566
00:25:49,898 --> 00:25:51,234
People loved watching her.
567
00:25:51,267 --> 00:25:53,706
And how many followers
does she have now,
568
00:25:53,740 --> 00:25:55,042
since she left New York?
569
00:25:55,075 --> 00:25:57,113
She didn't leave New York.
570
00:25:57,146 --> 00:25:59,885
She was abducted and killed!
571
00:25:59,918 --> 00:26:02,591
The answer is over ten million.
572
00:26:02,624 --> 00:26:04,695
Objection, counsel is testifying.
573
00:26:04,728 --> 00:26:06,231
Ask a question, Ms. Knight.
574
00:26:08,803 --> 00:26:11,575
Your daughter started off
her social media career
575
00:26:11,609 --> 00:26:15,315
with a travel blog, is that correct?
576
00:26:15,349 --> 00:26:18,823
Yes, it eventually evolved
into her van life blog.
577
00:26:18,856 --> 00:26:22,129
And there was some
controversy about that account
578
00:26:22,163 --> 00:26:24,735
a few years back, wasn't there?
579
00:26:24,768 --> 00:26:29,277
People accused her of
lying to get attention,
580
00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:32,049
said she was photoshopping
images of herself
581
00:26:32,082 --> 00:26:34,822
onto fake backgrounds.
582
00:26:34,855 --> 00:26:36,826
Made it look like she was in Paris,
583
00:26:36,859 --> 00:26:39,932
when really, she was sitting
in your kitchen in Columbus.
584
00:26:39,965 --> 00:26:42,871
The blog was fun, aspirational.
585
00:26:42,904 --> 00:26:45,342
Amanda was still a teenager,
nobody was supposed to believe
586
00:26:45,375 --> 00:26:47,614
that she was off traveling
the world by herself.
587
00:26:47,647 --> 00:26:50,385
Isn't it true that your
daughter's primary goal
588
00:26:50,419 --> 00:26:52,022
is to create buzz?
589
00:26:52,056 --> 00:26:54,026
Increase traffic to her page?
590
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:55,730
It's only part of who she was.
591
00:26:55,763 --> 00:26:58,736
Yes, she liked the attention,
it gave her a sense
592
00:26:58,769 --> 00:27:01,074
of community, a feeling
that she belonged.
593
00:27:01,107 --> 00:27:02,777
It also generated
594
00:27:02,811 --> 00:27:06,117
quite a bit of revenue for her,
too, didn't it?
595
00:27:06,151 --> 00:27:08,355
It helped defray the cost of her trips.
596
00:27:10,058 --> 00:27:12,898
You are talking about my daughter.
597
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:15,970
She was a good person!
598
00:27:16,004 --> 00:27:18,709
She was kind to people.
599
00:27:18,743 --> 00:27:20,312
She loved animals.
600
00:27:20,345 --> 00:27:22,918
Loved her family.
601
00:27:22,951 --> 00:27:26,124
And we loved her very much.
602
00:27:26,157 --> 00:27:28,261
And now she's dead.
603
00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:32,102
Where is she?
604
00:27:32,136 --> 00:27:35,944
Please, just tell me. Where is Amanda?
605
00:27:35,977 --> 00:27:38,415
- I'm begging you!
- Your Honor, please.
606
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:39,885
Okay, let's take a breather.
607
00:27:39,918 --> 00:27:41,421
We're in recess.
608
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:57,754
I'm sorry you have to
go through all this.
609
00:27:57,787 --> 00:27:59,691
He knows where she is.
610
00:27:59,725 --> 00:28:01,361
Why won't he just...
611
00:28:01,394 --> 00:28:03,365
I just want to know where she is.
612
00:28:03,398 --> 00:28:06,104
Give her a proper
burial, for God's sake.
613
00:28:06,137 --> 00:28:08,208
We have three agencies out there
614
00:28:08,241 --> 00:28:11,014
right now, searching,
looking for Amanda.
615
00:28:11,047 --> 00:28:14,120
We know. And we appreciate it.
616
00:28:14,153 --> 00:28:16,792
She's my little girl.
617
00:28:16,825 --> 00:28:20,065
And she's all alone in that forest.
618
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:21,467
That's all I think about.
619
00:28:23,171 --> 00:28:26,377
I... I can't sleep, I...
620
00:28:26,411 --> 00:28:27,413
Excuse us.
621
00:28:34,026 --> 00:28:37,399
- Finally some good news.
- What?
622
00:28:37,433 --> 00:28:40,138
Garrett is going to take the stand.
623
00:28:40,172 --> 00:28:42,142
Son of a bitch is so used to lying,
624
00:28:42,176 --> 00:28:43,813
he thinks he can fool the jury.
625
00:28:46,919 --> 00:28:48,288
I liked Amanda.
626
00:28:48,321 --> 00:28:49,490
I thought she liked me too.
627
00:28:51,194 --> 00:28:53,265
Guess I misread her vibe.
628
00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:55,302
What'd you talk about on your date?
629
00:28:55,335 --> 00:28:57,373
Her trip across the country, mostly.
630
00:28:57,406 --> 00:29:00,078
Places she'd been, people she met.
631
00:29:00,112 --> 00:29:02,517
- Did you ask her out again?
- Yeah.
632
00:29:02,550 --> 00:29:05,255
But, um, she's the kind of woman
633
00:29:05,289 --> 00:29:08,161
who's always looking for the next party.
634
00:29:08,194 --> 00:29:09,834
There's nothing wrong
with that, I guess.
635
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:12,467
Thank you.
636
00:29:15,977 --> 00:29:19,183
Good afternoon, Mr. Garrett.
637
00:29:19,216 --> 00:29:22,857
Or should I call you Mr. Spencer?
638
00:29:22,891 --> 00:29:25,462
Or Mr. Jackson?
639
00:29:25,495 --> 00:29:28,168
Or Mr. Honan?
640
00:29:30,305 --> 00:29:34,413
Those dating profiles are all yours,
correct?
641
00:29:34,447 --> 00:29:36,327
Sometimes I use different
names on dating apps.
642
00:29:36,351 --> 00:29:37,554
I have to protect myself...
643
00:29:37,587 --> 00:29:38,987
There's a lot of crazies out there.
644
00:29:41,194 --> 00:29:42,831
Yes, there are.
645
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:45,469
But you didn't go to Princeton, correct?
646
00:29:45,503 --> 00:29:47,841
Or Harvard Medical School?
647
00:29:49,243 --> 00:29:50,921
Come on, people
exaggerate on those sites.
648
00:29:50,946 --> 00:29:52,983
You didn't go to college at all,
let alone medical school.
649
00:29:53,008 --> 00:29:55,088
You just said you did
in order to meet women,
650
00:29:55,122 --> 00:29:56,357
women like Amanda Larson.
651
00:29:56,391 --> 00:29:57,827
Look, I was just playing around.
652
00:29:57,861 --> 00:29:59,531
It was like a social experiment.
653
00:29:59,564 --> 00:30:01,467
I wanted to see which
r�sum� was the best.
654
00:30:01,501 --> 00:30:03,973
- It was like a joke.
- Oh.
655
00:30:04,006 --> 00:30:07,346
You went out with Amanda on March 1st,
correct?
656
00:30:07,379 --> 00:30:10,953
Yes... we had coffee,
then did some sightseeing.
657
00:30:10,987 --> 00:30:12,022
That was it.
658
00:30:12,056 --> 00:30:13,358
No, actually, that wasn't it
659
00:30:13,391 --> 00:30:16,364
because a couple of hours
after she turned you down
660
00:30:16,397 --> 00:30:19,236
for a second date,
you went to Home Depot
661
00:30:19,270 --> 00:30:23,846
on 23rd Street and bought zip ties.
662
00:30:23,879 --> 00:30:27,252
A shovel. A plastic tarp.
663
00:30:27,286 --> 00:30:29,290
I was going camping.
664
00:30:29,323 --> 00:30:32,897
You also bought a 30 pound bag of lye.
665
00:30:34,968 --> 00:30:36,170
What was that for?
666
00:30:38,174 --> 00:30:39,945
To keep animals away.
667
00:30:44,086 --> 00:30:45,529
Let's go back to the timeline,
668
00:30:45,554 --> 00:30:48,128
the things we know for certain.
669
00:30:48,161 --> 00:30:50,900
You tricked Amanda Larson
into having coffee with you.
670
00:30:52,403 --> 00:30:55,576
Did some sightseeing. She rejected you.
671
00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:58,883
You went out and bought a
bag of lye and a shovel.
672
00:30:58,916 --> 00:31:01,555
Then you dragged her off the
street and into your truck.
673
00:31:01,588 --> 00:31:05,262
She fought back and lost one
of her shoes in the struggle.
674
00:31:05,295 --> 00:31:07,399
Objection, this isn't a question.
675
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:09,905
- It's a closing argument.
- Sustained.
676
00:31:09,938 --> 00:31:11,441
Anything else, Mr. Price?
677
00:31:14,447 --> 00:31:16,652
Uh, no, that covers it.
678
00:31:16,685 --> 00:31:18,354
Okay, we're adjourned for the day.
679
00:31:23,064 --> 00:31:25,302
Nice job.
680
00:31:29,343 --> 00:31:30,580
Nolan Price.
681
00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:35,923
Okay, we'll be right there.
682
00:31:35,957 --> 00:31:37,359
That was Bernard.
683
00:31:37,392 --> 00:31:39,296
Someone just found
Amanda's missing shoe.
684
00:31:47,553 --> 00:31:52,507
Well, as you can see, Lisa's been
following the case religiously.
685
00:31:54,093 --> 00:31:56,097
I went to high school
with Danny Garrett.
686
00:31:56,130 --> 00:31:58,536
He was a total loser back then too.
687
00:31:58,569 --> 00:32:00,506
So how'd you find the shoe?
688
00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:02,276
I remembered Danny's cousin had a cabin
689
00:32:02,309 --> 00:32:03,411
near Wharton Forest.
690
00:32:03,445 --> 00:32:07,486
He invited me there once,
said he was having a party.
691
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,660
But when I got there,
there was no party.
692
00:32:10,693 --> 00:32:13,566
And I just started running.
693
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,202
Never been so scared in my life.
694
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:20,112
Lisa decided to check out
the cabin for herself.
695
00:32:20,145 --> 00:32:23,118
I thought I might find
Amanda's dead body there.
696
00:32:23,151 --> 00:32:26,324
I didn't,
but I saw the shoe inside the house.
697
00:32:26,357 --> 00:32:28,629
I knew it was the exact
same one found near her van.
698
00:32:28,662 --> 00:32:30,031
How do you know that?
699
00:32:30,065 --> 00:32:31,702
I saw the pictures on social media.
700
00:32:31,735 --> 00:32:33,706
Did someone let you into the cabin?
701
00:32:33,739 --> 00:32:36,377
No. No one was there.
702
00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:37,714
How'd you get in?
703
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:39,718
I jimmied the lock.
704
00:32:39,751 --> 00:32:42,624
- You broke in?
- Yeah, that a problem?
705
00:32:45,195 --> 00:32:48,342
The good news is, the owners of the
cabin don't want to press charges.
706
00:32:48,367 --> 00:32:51,140
Bad news is, that damn shoe
is fraught with issues.
707
00:32:51,174 --> 00:32:52,242
No, the law is clear.
708
00:32:52,276 --> 00:32:54,748
The 4th Amendment doesn't
apply to private citizens.
709
00:32:54,781 --> 00:32:56,618
A motion to suppress will be denied.
710
00:32:56,659 --> 00:32:58,253
This is about more than meeting
711
00:32:58,278 --> 00:32:59,675
the threshold for admissibility.
712
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:01,460
Photos of Amanda's shoe
from the crime scene
713
00:33:01,494 --> 00:33:02,730
were all over the internet.
714
00:33:02,764 --> 00:33:05,670
It is plausible this
witness saw the photos,
715
00:33:05,703 --> 00:33:08,174
went down to Macy's,
and bought its mate.
716
00:33:08,208 --> 00:33:10,780
That shoe is identical to
the one at the crime scene.
717
00:33:10,813 --> 00:33:14,153
Same size, same amount of wear and tear.
718
00:33:14,186 --> 00:33:16,692
She could easily have manipulated it.
719
00:33:16,725 --> 00:33:18,394
You think the witness is lying?
720
00:33:18,428 --> 00:33:20,198
No, but the jury might.
721
00:33:20,232 --> 00:33:22,035
A key piece of evidence suddenly
722
00:33:22,069 --> 00:33:24,006
appears at the 11th hour?
It doesn't look good.
723
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,647
And if the jury doesn't buy it,
they'll hold us responsible.
724
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,584
The circumstances surrounding the search
725
00:33:29,618 --> 00:33:31,187
were less than ideal.
726
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:34,360
But the shoe is the next best thing
727
00:33:34,393 --> 00:33:36,598
to having Amanda Larson's body.
728
00:33:36,632 --> 00:33:38,636
Put the witness on the stand.
729
00:33:41,808 --> 00:33:43,612
I found it under the mattress.
730
00:33:43,646 --> 00:33:45,550
In his cousin's cabin less than a mile
731
00:33:45,583 --> 00:33:47,554
- from Wharton Forest.
- Thank you.
732
00:33:47,587 --> 00:33:49,691
Your Honor, let the record reflect
733
00:33:49,724 --> 00:33:52,730
that the shoe I'm holding
is the exact same brand,
734
00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:55,803
same size, same color as the shoe
735
00:33:55,836 --> 00:33:58,141
recovered outside of
Amanda Larson's van.
736
00:34:04,253 --> 00:34:05,656
I'll allow it.
737
00:34:08,261 --> 00:34:10,974
You never liked my client, did you?
738
00:34:11,568 --> 00:34:13,781
- Correct.
- You've known him since high school?
739
00:34:13,806 --> 00:34:15,509
He was in my 10th grade homeroom.
740
00:34:15,543 --> 00:34:19,618
You asked him to prom,
and he turned you down, right?
741
00:34:19,651 --> 00:34:21,966
Is that what he said?
742
00:34:22,927 --> 00:34:24,260
He's delusional.
743
00:34:24,293 --> 00:34:27,132
Please just answer the question.
744
00:34:27,165 --> 00:34:29,370
No, I never asked him to prom.
745
00:34:29,403 --> 00:34:32,376
You started a podcast about
this case about a week
746
00:34:32,409 --> 00:34:35,750
before miraculously finding this shoe.
747
00:34:35,783 --> 00:34:37,386
I have a podcast, yes.
748
00:34:37,419 --> 00:34:40,258
And this trial will increase
the size of your audience?
749
00:34:40,292 --> 00:34:42,429
- Probably.
- And your social media
750
00:34:42,462 --> 00:34:44,734
followers will skyrocket as well?
751
00:34:44,768 --> 00:34:46,270
I suppose.
752
00:34:46,304 --> 00:34:48,575
You planning to do any of
the morning talk shows?
753
00:34:48,609 --> 00:34:50,278
I got a few requests.
754
00:34:50,312 --> 00:34:53,217
Must feel good, all that attention.
755
00:34:53,251 --> 00:34:55,890
I'm just doing what's right
because I know the truth.
756
00:34:55,923 --> 00:34:58,494
I know that Daniel Garrett is dangerous.
757
00:34:58,529 --> 00:35:01,868
You haven't spoken to my
client in several years.
758
00:35:01,902 --> 00:35:05,141
You have no idea if he's dangerous.
759
00:35:05,175 --> 00:35:07,446
You're just fabricating
stories so that you can raise
760
00:35:07,479 --> 00:35:09,116
your profile to help launch
761
00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:12,222
- your social media brand.
- Objection.
762
00:35:12,255 --> 00:35:15,161
Withdrawn. That's all I have.
763
00:35:15,195 --> 00:35:17,265
Are there any additional witnesses?
764
00:35:17,299 --> 00:35:19,370
- No, Your Honor.
- Ms. Knight?
765
00:35:24,681 --> 00:35:27,920
May I have some time to
confer with the prosecution?
766
00:35:27,954 --> 00:35:29,691
Let's recess until tomorrow.
767
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,201
Hypothetically speaking, if my client
768
00:35:35,235 --> 00:35:38,308
could lead you to the location
of Ms. Larson's remains,
769
00:35:38,341 --> 00:35:40,412
what kind of deal are
you willing to proffer?
770
00:35:42,750 --> 00:35:44,754
What are you looking for?
771
00:35:44,788 --> 00:35:47,492
Man one. Fifteen years.
772
00:35:47,527 --> 00:35:49,831
On a felony murder?
773
00:35:49,864 --> 00:35:51,434
Choice number two is Amanda's parents
774
00:35:51,467 --> 00:35:53,271
never find their daughter.
775
00:35:58,749 --> 00:36:00,285
We'll get back to you.
776
00:36:04,761 --> 00:36:11,340
I can't make any guarantees,
but as things stand right now,
777
00:36:11,374 --> 00:36:15,916
I think we have a good
shot at a guilty verdict.
778
00:36:15,950 --> 00:36:19,256
If so,
Garrett is staring down a life sentence.
779
00:36:19,289 --> 00:36:23,799
Believe me, I want him to rot in prison.
780
00:36:23,832 --> 00:36:25,636
But there's one thing I want more.
781
00:36:25,669 --> 00:36:27,339
Closure.
782
00:36:27,372 --> 00:36:29,376
A conviction will give you closure.
783
00:36:29,410 --> 00:36:31,882
No, a conviction will give you closure.
784
00:36:33,017 --> 00:36:35,890
You'll move on to your next case.
785
00:36:35,923 --> 00:36:38,494
But we'll still be in
the exact same position!
786
00:36:39,931 --> 00:36:42,402
Waiting by the phone,
787
00:36:42,436 --> 00:36:44,373
wondering where our daughter is.
788
00:36:44,406 --> 00:36:46,778
But you'll have the
peace of mind to know
789
00:36:46,812 --> 00:36:49,216
that Garrett is behind bars,
790
00:36:49,249 --> 00:36:51,822
that he won't be able to
hurt anyone else's daughter.
791
00:36:51,855 --> 00:36:55,395
Look, we get it, but we...
792
00:36:55,428 --> 00:37:00,154
No, we want to give our
daughter a proper burial.
793
00:37:00,806 --> 00:37:02,877
So please.
794
00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:05,348
Make the deal.
795
00:37:11,661 --> 00:37:13,431
I think we should make the deal.
796
00:37:13,464 --> 00:37:17,840
We can't just ignore the Larsons'
desire for closure.
797
00:37:17,874 --> 00:37:21,515
I have tremendous
empathy for them, I do.
798
00:37:21,548 --> 00:37:23,752
But we're not their personal attorneys.
799
00:37:23,786 --> 00:37:25,422
We can't let their grieving,
800
00:37:25,455 --> 00:37:28,294
their emotions, drive the train here.
801
00:37:29,831 --> 00:37:32,570
You want to go to the jury with this?
802
00:37:32,603 --> 00:37:35,408
We can't just give a
predator a sweetheart deal
803
00:37:35,442 --> 00:37:39,416
to make the family feel better
about a horrible situation.
804
00:37:39,450 --> 00:37:40,619
It's a jury trial.
805
00:37:40,653 --> 00:37:43,725
That photo of her on the beach
is still making the rounds.
806
00:37:43,759 --> 00:37:44,961
Anything's possible.
807
00:37:44,994 --> 00:37:47,600
Means there is a chance we could lose.
808
00:37:47,633 --> 00:37:49,002
Then what?
809
00:37:49,036 --> 00:37:51,040
The Larsons will never know
where Amanda is buried,
810
00:37:51,073 --> 00:37:54,446
and Garrett will be
back out on the street.
811
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,454
- How old is Garrett?
- 27.
812
00:37:58,488 --> 00:38:01,360
If we take the deal...
813
00:38:01,393 --> 00:38:04,066
Garrett will wind up
serving about 12 1/2 years,
814
00:38:04,099 --> 00:38:08,976
which means he'll be 39
years old when he's released.
815
00:38:09,009 --> 00:38:11,480
Plenty of time to victimize
816
00:38:11,515 --> 00:38:13,484
a whole new generation of women.
817
00:38:15,856 --> 00:38:18,494
Can you bring this one home, Nolan?
818
00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:19,998
I believe I can.
819
00:38:20,031 --> 00:38:22,603
Then pass on the deal.
820
00:38:27,045 --> 00:38:29,851
Bury this son of a bitch.
821
00:38:36,430 --> 00:38:39,403
People have always been
interested in true crime,
822
00:38:39,436 --> 00:38:43,010
but lately,
it's become a national obsession...
823
00:38:43,044 --> 00:38:45,616
Fueled by the internet.
824
00:38:45,649 --> 00:38:49,724
Someone goes missing,
and people want to follow along
825
00:38:49,757 --> 00:38:51,026
in real time.
826
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:56,005
A family's tragedy
becomes entertainment,
827
00:38:56,938 --> 00:38:59,009
an exciting mystery to be solved.
828
00:38:59,042 --> 00:39:03,619
And the people involved
become objects of our...
829
00:39:03,652 --> 00:39:05,523
Our curiosity.
830
00:39:05,556 --> 00:39:07,994
Their faces are splashed
all over social media,
831
00:39:08,027 --> 00:39:10,431
so many times that we begin
to think we know them,
832
00:39:10,465 --> 00:39:12,870
based on nothing more than a photograph
833
00:39:12,904 --> 00:39:17,547
or a description on a dating site.
834
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:22,783
The line between truth
and fiction is blurred.
835
00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:28,735
Daniel Garrett created a
false narrative in order
836
00:39:28,769 --> 00:39:31,541
to dupe Amanda Larson.
837
00:39:31,575 --> 00:39:34,714
And that is exactly what the defense
838
00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:37,987
is trying to do to you.
839
00:39:38,020 --> 00:39:40,024
Don't fall for it.
840
00:39:41,761 --> 00:39:44,466
Learn from Amanda's mistake.
841
00:39:44,499 --> 00:39:48,542
The credible, reliable,
real-life evidence
842
00:39:48,575 --> 00:39:52,950
proves that Amanda Larson is dead
843
00:39:52,984 --> 00:39:54,386
and that he killed her.
844
00:39:59,831 --> 00:40:01,768
When you go back to the
jury room to deliberate,
845
00:40:01,801 --> 00:40:04,406
remember one thing.
846
00:40:04,439 --> 00:40:08,447
"Verdict" comes from
the Latin "veredictum."
847
00:40:08,481 --> 00:40:10,151
It means to speak the truth.
848
00:40:10,184 --> 00:40:14,994
So when you come back out here,
I ask you to do
849
00:40:15,028 --> 00:40:18,034
what Daniel Garrett
seems incapable of doing.
850
00:40:19,971 --> 00:40:22,008
Speak the truth.
851
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:36,170
Has the jury reached a verdict?
852
00:40:36,203 --> 00:40:38,909
We have, Your Honor.
853
00:40:38,942 --> 00:40:40,879
We find the defendant guilty.
854
00:40:44,554 --> 00:40:46,625
Members of the jury,
thank you for your service.
855
00:40:46,658 --> 00:40:49,530
You are excused.
856
00:40:57,513 --> 00:41:00,619
We did the right thing, Sam.
857
00:41:00,653 --> 00:41:03,659
Not sure Amanda's parents would agree.
858
00:41:17,417 --> 00:41:21,417
