Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,252 --> 00:00:10,384
In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented
2
00:00:10,469 --> 00:00:12,971
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:13,056 --> 00:00:14,893
The police,
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:14,978 --> 00:00:17,666
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:17,783 --> 00:00:19,486
These are their stories.
6
00:00:20,569 --> 00:00:22,222
Do you remember
when this park
7
00:00:22,307 --> 00:00:24,427
was a refuge from tourists?
8
00:00:24,511 --> 00:00:25,776
You mean back in the '80s,
9
00:00:25,861 --> 00:00:27,600
when it was full
of drug dealers and riots?
10
00:00:27,684 --> 00:00:28,870
The good old days.
11
00:00:28,954 --> 00:00:30,339
And now we've got these
12
00:00:30,423 --> 00:00:31,842
"van life" people
hanging around here.
13
00:00:31,926 --> 00:00:33,478
They're kids...
14
00:00:33,562 --> 00:00:35,582
Seeking adventure,
living their best life.
15
00:00:35,666 --> 00:00:38,322
They're fake hippies driving
gas-guzzling motor homes,
16
00:00:38,406 --> 00:00:39,858
drinking oat milk lattes
17
00:00:39,942 --> 00:00:41,831
all paid for
with daddy's credit card.
18
00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:43,193
- It's a sham.
- They're not
19
00:00:43,324 --> 00:00:44,190
bothering anyone.
20
00:00:44,275 --> 00:00:45,802
They're a nuisance.
This is what I'm talking about.
21
00:00:45,886 --> 00:00:47,384
Look at all this trash.
22
00:00:49,862 --> 00:00:51,416
It isn't trash.
23
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:53,931
It's blood.
24
00:00:58,379 --> 00:01:00,159
Van is registered
to Amanda Larson.
25
00:01:00,244 --> 00:01:01,963
She's 22 from Columbus, Ohio.
26
00:01:02,048 --> 00:01:03,372
When was the last time
someone had eyes on her?
27
00:01:03,456 --> 00:01:04,908
Yesterday afternoon.
28
00:01:04,992 --> 00:01:06,544
What was she doing
in Manhattan?
29
00:01:06,628 --> 00:01:08,348
Came to the city
five days ago.
30
00:01:08,432 --> 00:01:10,219
- Been living in her vehicle.
- Uh-huh.
31
00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:13,358
- Any summonses on the vehicle?
- No.
32
00:01:13,442 --> 00:01:15,229
What about a wallet?
33
00:01:15,313 --> 00:01:17,400
- Phone?
- Haven't located either.
34
00:01:17,484 --> 00:01:19,470
I think this is one
of her shoes.
35
00:01:19,554 --> 00:01:22,543
- Couldn't find the other one.
- Yeah, probably on her foot.
36
00:01:22,627 --> 00:01:25,015
Deep scuff marks on the heel.
37
00:01:25,099 --> 00:01:26,819
Probably being
dragged some place.
38
00:01:26,903 --> 00:01:29,658
Must've lost
the other one in the process.
39
00:01:29,742 --> 00:01:31,327
At first I thought
it was a simple car break,
40
00:01:31,411 --> 00:01:34,333
but the blood,
the shoe, the missing tourist?
41
00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:35,402
Figured I'd better call it in.
42
00:01:35,486 --> 00:01:36,672
Check 911 calls.
43
00:01:36,756 --> 00:01:39,945
Have LMSI pull video footage
from every camera
44
00:01:40,029 --> 00:01:41,548
within a three-block radius.
45
00:01:41,632 --> 00:01:43,385
Also start a canvas
on residential
46
00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:45,322
and business cameras.
47
00:01:45,406 --> 00:01:46,558
You got something?
48
00:01:46,642 --> 00:01:49,865
A hammer.
Blood looks fresh.
49
00:01:49,949 --> 00:01:51,334
I'll check the hospitals.
50
00:01:51,418 --> 00:01:53,840
She might've ended
up in an emergency room.
51
00:01:53,924 --> 00:01:55,275
Or the morgue.
52
00:02:04,921 --> 00:02:06,921
*LAW & ORDER*
Season 21 Episode 03
53
00:02:07,059 --> 00:02:09,580
Episode Title: "Filtered Life"
Aired on: March 10, 2022.
54
00:02:46,161 --> 00:02:48,581
Amanda and I
spent the day together.
55
00:02:48,666 --> 00:02:51,387
We got passes to a gym
so we could shower.
56
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,391
And after that,
we went to the laundromat.
57
00:02:53,475 --> 00:02:54,995
What time did you
get back here?
58
00:02:55,352 --> 00:02:57,759
Um, around 5:00.
59
00:02:58,127 --> 00:03:00,005
Have any idea
where she went after this?
60
00:03:00,089 --> 00:03:01,441
Who she might have been with?
61
00:03:01,525 --> 00:03:03,411
I knocked on her door
at around 10:00
62
00:03:03,495 --> 00:03:05,175
to see if she wanted
to do a livestream
63
00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:06,719
in front
of the Tenement Museum,
64
00:03:06,803 --> 00:03:08,588
but she wasn't here.
65
00:03:08,672 --> 00:03:10,392
Did you notice
the condition of the van?
66
00:03:10,476 --> 00:03:11,829
Was the window broken?
67
00:03:11,913 --> 00:03:15,569
No.
No, no, nothing like that.
68
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:17,039
Did you hear anything?
69
00:03:17,123 --> 00:03:18,876
Yelling or glass breaking?
70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,295
No, but I sleep
with a sound machine.
71
00:03:23,380 --> 00:03:25,546
Do you have any idea
who Amanda was hanging with
72
00:03:25,631 --> 00:03:27,493
while she was here in New York?
73
00:03:27,577 --> 00:03:30,365
I never saw her
with anyone IRL,
74
00:03:30,449 --> 00:03:32,637
but she was huge
on social media.
75
00:03:32,721 --> 00:03:34,842
She made van life a thing.
76
00:03:34,926 --> 00:03:36,477
Living in a van.
77
00:03:36,561 --> 00:03:38,415
How did she make that a thing?
78
00:03:38,499 --> 00:03:39,918
She had a vlog...
79
00:03:40,002 --> 00:03:42,556
Posted about life on the road.
80
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,661
She was actually pretty shy.
81
00:03:44,745 --> 00:03:46,598
But when she was on camera,
82
00:03:46,682 --> 00:03:49,403
everything she did
looked like so much fun.
83
00:03:49,487 --> 00:03:51,574
She's the reason I got a van.
84
00:03:51,658 --> 00:03:53,846
A lot of people
feel the same way.
85
00:03:53,930 --> 00:03:55,166
How many is a lot?
86
00:03:57,637 --> 00:04:00,576
Like over two million?
87
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,966
And the tips just
keep on coming.
88
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:06,705
I swear, half of her
two million followers
89
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:09,410
are armchair detectives just
clogging up the phone lines.
90
00:04:09,494 --> 00:04:10,579
Who knows?
91
00:04:10,663 --> 00:04:12,194
Maybe they'll help us
find a lead.
92
00:04:12,279 --> 00:04:14,755
Yeah, better chance
the Jets win the Super Bowl.
93
00:04:14,839 --> 00:04:17,092
Well, at 10:00 p. M.,
the van was intact.
94
00:04:17,176 --> 00:04:19,698
And at 11:37 p. M.,
95
00:04:19,782 --> 00:04:22,436
she posts
from a party in Brooklyn.
96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,741
And then at 7:24 a. M.,
97
00:04:24,825 --> 00:04:27,477
we get the call that
the van has been broken into.
98
00:04:27,562 --> 00:04:29,618
I just got off the phone
with the parents...
99
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:31,048
They're a wreck.
100
00:04:31,133 --> 00:04:34,093
They said they get a check-in
call from Amanda every morning.
101
00:04:34,177 --> 00:04:37,099
Ten weeks she's been traveling,
never missed a day
102
00:04:37,183 --> 00:04:38,748
until this morning.
103
00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:40,490
They're jumping
on a plane and I'd like
104
00:04:40,582 --> 00:04:41,968
to have some news
for them when they land.
105
00:04:42,052 --> 00:04:43,178
- Mm-hmm.
- Where are we at?
106
00:04:43,263 --> 00:04:44,715
Canvassing... haven't
come up with anything,
107
00:04:44,799 --> 00:04:46,752
nothing on the 911 call logs,
108
00:04:46,836 --> 00:04:49,457
and the Missing Persons Squad
have come up empty.
109
00:04:49,541 --> 00:04:50,627
No credit card activity.
110
00:04:50,711 --> 00:04:52,931
Yeah, we should check
her father's credit card too.
111
00:04:53,015 --> 00:04:54,801
He said that
she uses it sometimes
112
00:04:54,885 --> 00:04:57,641
when hers is maxed out.
What about her phone?
113
00:04:57,725 --> 00:04:59,911
It's either turned off
or the battery's dead.
114
00:04:59,995 --> 00:05:02,449
I put in a request
for a cell site order.
115
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:04,587
- Forensics?
- F-BIO put a priority
116
00:05:04,671 --> 00:05:05,723
on the testing of the blood
117
00:05:05,807 --> 00:05:07,459
and promised
a quick turnaround.
118
00:05:07,543 --> 00:05:09,597
Let's retrace her last steps,
119
00:05:09,681 --> 00:05:12,002
starting with
her last-known location,
120
00:05:12,086 --> 00:05:13,839
which is the party,
and then we're gonna
121
00:05:13,923 --> 00:05:15,142
have to work forward
from there.
122
00:05:15,226 --> 00:05:16,912
Already have
Unis canvassing the area.
123
00:05:16,996 --> 00:05:20,085
And one of them just found
a potential witness
124
00:05:20,169 --> 00:05:21,989
in East Williamsburg.
125
00:05:22,073 --> 00:05:23,073
Let's go.
126
00:05:24,779 --> 00:05:26,832
Do you know
who Amanda Larson is?
127
00:05:26,916 --> 00:05:29,503
Yeah, I know her.
I DM'd her to come.
128
00:05:29,587 --> 00:05:32,543
- Put her on the VIP list.
- Why's that?
129
00:05:32,627 --> 00:05:33,946
She's a big influencer.
130
00:05:34,030 --> 00:05:36,584
Yeah, she posts about
how much fun she's having?
131
00:05:36,668 --> 00:05:40,158
Exactly...
Gives the party cred.
132
00:05:40,242 --> 00:05:44,066
All it cost me
was bottle service.
133
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:45,903
You talk to her?
134
00:05:45,987 --> 00:05:46,805
For a few seconds.
135
00:05:46,889 --> 00:05:48,776
Seemed pretty cool. Good vibe.
136
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:50,880
You see her hanging out
with anyone?
137
00:05:50,964 --> 00:05:53,551
She spent most of the time
in the VIP section over there.
138
00:05:53,635 --> 00:05:55,657
Everyone was trying
to take selfies with her.
139
00:05:55,741 --> 00:05:58,194
But, uh, there was a dude...
140
00:05:58,278 --> 00:06:01,134
He runs a vegan lifestyle blog.
141
00:06:01,218 --> 00:06:03,538
Think they left together.
142
00:06:03,622 --> 00:06:05,927
We're gonna need his name.
143
00:06:07,965 --> 00:06:09,550
Yeah.
Yeah, I know Amanda.
144
00:06:09,634 --> 00:06:10,820
Yeah, I met her last night.
145
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:12,791
I was just telling Megan
about her.
146
00:06:12,875 --> 00:06:14,661
I can't believe what happened.
147
00:06:14,745 --> 00:06:16,865
I mean, her blood was
all over her van like that.
148
00:06:16,949 --> 00:06:19,203
Wait... how'd you know
there was blood on the van?
149
00:06:19,287 --> 00:06:20,891
It's all over social media.
150
00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:23,662
Let me show you.
151
00:06:27,403 --> 00:06:29,073
Hmm.
152
00:06:30,744 --> 00:06:31,846
You go to the party, Megan?
153
00:06:33,649 --> 00:06:35,921
I wasn't feeling well,
so I stayed home.
154
00:06:37,323 --> 00:06:39,243
So you were here all night?
155
00:06:39,327 --> 00:06:41,648
I was still up
when Toby got home.
156
00:06:41,732 --> 00:06:44,955
We went through the content
from the party together.
157
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:45,990
What time was that?
158
00:06:46,074 --> 00:06:47,827
Like 2:00?
159
00:06:47,911 --> 00:06:49,096
2:15?
160
00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:51,635
You come back alone?
161
00:06:51,719 --> 00:06:53,873
Yeah, yeah.
162
00:06:53,957 --> 00:06:57,747
Um, Amanda and I walked
to the subway together.
163
00:06:57,831 --> 00:07:01,087
I got on the I train,
Eastbound, and...
164
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,692
last time I saw her,
she was on the platform
165
00:07:03,776 --> 00:07:05,379
waiting to go to Manhattan.
166
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,740
We'll need you and Megan
167
00:07:10,824 --> 00:07:12,264
to come down to the precinct
with us.
168
00:07:13,695 --> 00:07:16,250
Uh, o-okay. Why?
169
00:07:16,334 --> 00:07:18,088
Because you're
lying your ass off.
170
00:07:22,346 --> 00:07:24,768
You see
where Amanda is standing?
171
00:07:24,852 --> 00:07:26,170
Looks like a bank...
An ATM.
172
00:07:26,254 --> 00:07:28,274
You see what time
that picture was taken?
173
00:07:28,358 --> 00:07:30,212
It says 4:06 this morning.
174
00:07:30,296 --> 00:07:33,218
That's when Amanda
used her father's credit card
175
00:07:33,302 --> 00:07:35,790
to withdraw cash.
176
00:07:35,874 --> 00:07:38,094
Guess where
that ATM is located.
177
00:07:38,178 --> 00:07:40,967
Across the street
from your apartment, Toby!
178
00:07:41,051 --> 00:07:43,639
Which tells me you and Amanda
didn't part ways
179
00:07:43,723 --> 00:07:45,794
on that subway platform
like you said.
180
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,622
Time to tell the truth.
181
00:07:51,706 --> 00:07:54,204
Otherwise,
you and Toby are gonna be
182
00:07:54,289 --> 00:07:56,648
the lead suspects
in a kidnap-murder plot.
183
00:07:59,855 --> 00:08:02,309
I saw her in the apartment.
184
00:08:02,393 --> 00:08:04,146
When?
185
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:06,083
Around 2:00.
186
00:08:06,167 --> 00:08:07,803
She came home with Toby.
187
00:08:07,888 --> 00:08:09,429
And how did that
make you feel, Megan?
188
00:08:09,514 --> 00:08:12,329
- Angry? Jealous?
- No.
189
00:08:12,413 --> 00:08:13,866
Your boyfriend
brings another woman
190
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:16,037
to your apartment
at 2:00 in the morning?
191
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:18,809
- You had to feel something...
- It's not like that!
192
00:08:18,893 --> 00:08:22,316
Toby can hook up
with anyone he wants to.
193
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,955
We're not together anymore.
194
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:27,827
Megan and I broke up
a couple months ago.
195
00:08:27,911 --> 00:08:30,526
You know, we still
live together and everything...
196
00:08:30,612 --> 00:08:32,670
Um, we just live
in separate bedrooms, you know?
197
00:08:32,754 --> 00:08:34,774
She does her thing,
I do my thing.
198
00:08:34,858 --> 00:08:38,716
Then why lie
about bringing Amanda home?
199
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,786
Our blog is called
"Two Vegans in Love,"
200
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:45,362
and it's about us as a couple
living a healthy life.
201
00:08:45,446 --> 00:08:48,101
If people find out that...
That Megan and I broke up,
202
00:08:48,185 --> 00:08:50,071
I mean, it'll...
It'll ruin everything.
203
00:08:50,155 --> 00:08:52,342
You held up a potential
homicide investigation
204
00:08:52,426 --> 00:08:54,013
to protect your brand?
205
00:08:54,097 --> 00:08:59,156
It took us one year
to reach influencer status.
206
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,977
It's how we pay the bills!
207
00:09:03,950 --> 00:09:07,472
Amanda left my apartment
around 4:00.
208
00:09:07,556 --> 00:09:10,378
She was alone, and...
209
00:09:10,462 --> 00:09:12,133
I never saw her again.
210
00:09:19,949 --> 00:09:21,267
Lab work came back.
211
00:09:21,351 --> 00:09:24,306
The DNA profile shows that
the blood in the van
212
00:09:24,390 --> 00:09:25,843
didn't belong to Amanda.
213
00:09:25,927 --> 00:09:28,147
Might be good news,
she might still be alive.
214
00:09:28,231 --> 00:09:31,387
Hopefully, but if the blood
at the scene isn't Amanda's...
215
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:34,326
It belongs to a guy
by the name of Joseph Denzig.
216
00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:35,763
We got a hit in the database.
217
00:09:35,847 --> 00:09:39,136
His rap sheet looks like
a receipt from CVS.
218
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:42,175
Track him down...
Before the internet does.
219
00:09:42,259 --> 00:09:44,413
I don't want a mob
of amateur sleuths
220
00:09:44,497 --> 00:09:48,138
hearing about this and taking
the law into their own hands.
221
00:09:51,912 --> 00:09:55,035
What happened
to your wrist, Joey?
222
00:09:55,119 --> 00:09:56,838
I fell.
223
00:09:56,922 --> 00:09:58,207
Climbing over a fence.
224
00:09:58,291 --> 00:09:59,778
Mm-hmm.
225
00:09:59,862 --> 00:10:00,913
Where were you
yesterday morning
226
00:10:00,997 --> 00:10:03,752
between the hours
of 4:00 and 7:00 a. m.?
227
00:10:03,836 --> 00:10:06,959
Here... sleeping.
228
00:10:07,043 --> 00:10:10,933
Are you familiar with a woman
named Amanda Larson?
229
00:10:11,017 --> 00:10:12,069
Never heard of her.
230
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:12,904
That's strange,
'cause I just found
231
00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:15,175
her driver's license
in your closet.
232
00:10:16,896 --> 00:10:18,298
Turn around. Turn around!
233
00:10:20,169 --> 00:10:23,342
Let's go. Let's go.
234
00:10:29,734 --> 00:10:33,846
- Your blood is all over Amanda Larson's van.
- We don't have time for 20 questions.
235
00:10:33,930 --> 00:10:35,081
Where's the girl?
236
00:10:35,165 --> 00:10:37,305
I told you, I have no idea.
237
00:10:37,390 --> 00:10:38,956
Man, we've seen your priors.
238
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,093
You're not a kidnapper...
You're a thief.
239
00:10:41,215 --> 00:10:42,827
So what happened, hmm?
240
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:46,718
I used a hammer
to smash the window on her van.
241
00:10:46,851 --> 00:10:49,276
When I reached in and unlocked
the door, I sliced my wrist.
242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,406
- Almost bled out.
- Mm-hmm, and Amanda was there?
243
00:10:52,671 --> 00:10:54,353
Right before I broke in,
244
00:10:54,437 --> 00:10:56,421
I saw her coming
down the street.
245
00:10:57,009 --> 00:10:59,496
She walked up to the van,
but a guy came out of nowhere
246
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:01,033
and started yelling at her.
247
00:11:01,117 --> 00:11:02,971
There was somebody
waiting for her?
248
00:11:03,055 --> 00:11:04,273
They argued,
249
00:11:04,357 --> 00:11:06,143
then he grabbed her
and dragged her away.
250
00:11:06,227 --> 00:11:07,614
She dropped her purse,
251
00:11:07,698 --> 00:11:09,883
and she was kicking so much,
one of her shoes flew off.
252
00:11:09,968 --> 00:11:12,122
Okay, you just stood there
and let that happen, huh?
253
00:11:12,206 --> 00:11:14,026
Let a dude just
snatch her up like that?
254
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:15,640
Look, I ain't no hero, bro.
255
00:11:15,726 --> 00:11:17,337
Yeah, either you're lying
or you're a coward.
256
00:11:17,421 --> 00:11:18,534
- Look...
- Neither is good.
257
00:11:18,618 --> 00:11:20,038
I didn't touch that girl.
258
00:11:20,122 --> 00:11:22,218
- I swear!
- Okay, what did he look like?
259
00:11:22,374 --> 00:11:24,246
- The guy who grabbed her?
- I didn't see his face.
260
00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:26,852
Height, hair color? Anything?
261
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:29,256
Brown hair.
Around my height.
262
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:31,265
He dragged her
to a blue and tan pickup truck.
263
00:11:31,398 --> 00:11:33,598
A blue and tan truck?
Okay.
264
00:11:33,682 --> 00:11:35,335
You see the license plate?
265
00:11:35,419 --> 00:11:38,663
No, but I'm pretty sure
it was a Chevy.
266
00:11:38,908 --> 00:11:40,828
Put him in.
267
00:11:40,927 --> 00:11:42,312
Watch your head.
268
00:11:43,783 --> 00:11:45,336
Hey, everyone, it's Amanda.
269
00:11:45,421 --> 00:11:47,627
I wasn't able to drive
my van all the way to Paris.
270
00:11:47,711 --> 00:11:49,330
Posted March 1st.
271
00:11:49,414 --> 00:11:52,069
That's two days
before Amanda went missing.
272
00:11:52,153 --> 00:11:54,306
To see the beautiful arch.
273
00:11:54,390 --> 00:11:55,643
Check out the background.
274
00:11:55,727 --> 00:11:57,512
That's a blue and tan truck.
275
00:12:00,269 --> 00:12:01,520
Even though it's freezing,
276
00:12:01,604 --> 00:12:03,659
the park is just
full of energy.
277
00:12:03,743 --> 00:12:07,032
There are kids on strollers,
and dogs, street performers...
278
00:12:07,116 --> 00:12:08,601
Pause it right there.
279
00:12:08,685 --> 00:12:11,558
Maybe that's the guy
that Denzig was describing.
280
00:12:13,195 --> 00:12:15,181
And here's another video that
she posted about an hour later.
281
00:12:15,265 --> 00:12:17,352
It is such a beautiful day.
282
00:12:17,436 --> 00:12:19,590
It is freezing... it literally
feels like ten degrees.
283
00:12:19,674 --> 00:12:21,344
Wait, stop it right there.
284
00:12:22,981 --> 00:12:27,372
- Same clothes, same guy.
- Maybe she has a stalker.
285
00:12:27,456 --> 00:12:30,445
Made it easy for him...
Posted every detail of her life
286
00:12:30,529 --> 00:12:34,219
and her future plans.
A predator's dream.
287
00:12:34,303 --> 00:12:37,025
I know you are not implying
that this is her fault.
288
00:12:37,109 --> 00:12:38,361
No, I'm just
making an observation.
289
00:12:38,445 --> 00:12:40,231
Call me old-fashioned,
call me paranoid,
290
00:12:40,315 --> 00:12:41,233
I don't give a rat's ass.
291
00:12:41,317 --> 00:12:43,237
That is why my kids
292
00:12:43,321 --> 00:12:45,492
don't have
social media accounts.
293
00:12:47,296 --> 00:12:49,684
All right, send a screenshot
over to Facial Rec
294
00:12:49,768 --> 00:12:52,990
and have SMART
do a deep dive on social media.
295
00:12:53,074 --> 00:12:55,495
Let's go back to the area
where Amanda's van was parked
296
00:12:55,579 --> 00:12:58,084
and see if anybody
knows this guy.
297
00:13:00,088 --> 00:13:02,476
We're so grateful
to all of you for coming out.
298
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,146
There's a signup list
for volunteers
299
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:05,548
at the entrance to the park,
300
00:13:05,632 --> 00:13:08,488
right next to the fliers
with Amanda's photo.
301
00:13:08,572 --> 00:13:11,393
We're asking people to pass
them out to anyone you see.
302
00:13:11,477 --> 00:13:14,266
At the grocery store,
your school, your church.
303
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:15,368
- We appreciate all of you...
- Thank you.
304
00:13:15,452 --> 00:13:18,441
For helping us find
our beloved daughter, Amanda.
305
00:13:18,525 --> 00:13:20,411
She's gonna be more
recognizable than the Pope.
306
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:21,580
Yeah, this is what happens
307
00:13:21,664 --> 00:13:25,255
when a pretty white girl
goes missing.
308
00:13:25,339 --> 00:13:28,528
- Haley, hey.
- Oh, hi. Nice to see you.
309
00:13:28,612 --> 00:13:32,119
Do, uh, do any one
of you recognize this guy?
310
00:13:33,522 --> 00:13:35,575
Oh, yeah,
I've seen him before.
311
00:13:35,659 --> 00:13:36,544
Around here?
312
00:13:36,628 --> 00:13:39,617
No, we matched
on You First a few days ago.
313
00:13:39,701 --> 00:13:41,153
Huh?
314
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,291
- It's a dating app.
- You went out with him?
315
00:13:43,375 --> 00:13:45,528
No, no, he's like
a Wall Street guy.
316
00:13:45,612 --> 00:13:46,497
He's not my type.
317
00:13:46,581 --> 00:13:48,301
You think I can take
a look at his profile?
318
00:13:48,385 --> 00:13:53,295
Yeah, he said his
name was Tim something...
319
00:13:55,365 --> 00:13:57,285
Suspect's real name
is Daniel Garrett.
320
00:13:57,369 --> 00:13:58,588
He's all over the dating sites.
321
00:13:58,672 --> 00:14:00,592
He has, like,
12 different aliases.
322
00:14:00,676 --> 00:14:03,598
Yeah, and I bet each one
has a phony résumé too.
323
00:14:03,682 --> 00:14:05,235
He told Amanda
he was an oncologist,
324
00:14:05,319 --> 00:14:07,139
served in the military,
and volunteers
325
00:14:07,223 --> 00:14:08,675
for the local animal shelter.
326
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:12,215
They arranged to meet two days
before she went missing.
327
00:14:12,299 --> 00:14:13,584
They spent the day together.
328
00:14:13,668 --> 00:14:16,524
- So he's not a stalker?
- No, they were on a date.
329
00:14:16,608 --> 00:14:19,096
He messaged her
to meet up again,
330
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:20,265
"You wanna go out tonight?"
331
00:14:20,349 --> 00:14:21,635
She blows him off.
332
00:14:21,719 --> 00:14:24,707
Okay, so she goes
to this loft party
333
00:14:24,791 --> 00:14:27,546
- on Wednesday night, right?
- Yeah.
334
00:14:27,630 --> 00:14:31,420
And then she posts all
about it on her social media,
335
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:34,059
making it look like
she had the time of her life.
336
00:14:34,143 --> 00:14:37,132
And I'm guessing it didn't
sit so well with Garrett.
337
00:14:37,216 --> 00:14:38,735
Hey, have we tracked down
his truck yet?
338
00:14:38,819 --> 00:14:40,338
- No.
- Working on it.
339
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:42,576
Have we tried
pinging his phone?
340
00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:43,411
It's turned off.
341
00:14:43,495 --> 00:14:45,816
What about his boss,
his neighbors?
342
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,487
No one's seen him
in the past three days.
343
00:14:48,571 --> 00:14:50,291
- Parents?
- Father deceased,
344
00:14:50,375 --> 00:14:51,795
mother lives in Tampa.
345
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:53,097
All right.
346
00:14:53,181 --> 00:14:54,366
Let's call the local PD
347
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:55,736
and send someone over
to her house,
348
00:14:55,820 --> 00:14:57,272
just in case he reaches out.
349
00:14:57,356 --> 00:14:58,642
License plate readers
show Garrett
350
00:14:58,726 --> 00:15:00,078
driving through
the Lincoln Tunnel
351
00:15:00,162 --> 00:15:02,249
5:12 a. M. Thursday morning.
352
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:04,553
Do we know what exit he took?
353
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:07,627
7. Bordentown.
354
00:15:07,711 --> 00:15:09,530
That's ten minutes
from Wharton State Park.
355
00:15:09,614 --> 00:15:12,269
A hundred thousand acres
of trees and mud.
356
00:15:12,353 --> 00:15:14,490
Hell of a place
to bury a body.
357
00:15:36,233 --> 00:15:37,852
Over here.
358
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,242
Clearing about 50 yards
up ahead.
359
00:15:54,270 --> 00:15:55,372
That's his truck.
360
00:16:03,421 --> 00:16:05,676
- Freeze! Police!
- We got him!
361
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:12,522
He's going to the river!
362
00:16:26,234 --> 00:16:27,503
Stop moving!
363
00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:36,170
Get up. Get up!
364
00:16:36,254 --> 00:16:38,374
What have you done
with Amanda?
365
00:16:38,458 --> 00:16:39,443
What have you done?
366
00:16:39,527 --> 00:16:41,881
Hey, hey, hey!
All good, Frank?
367
00:16:48,678 --> 00:16:49,715
Yeah, I'm good.
368
00:16:55,525 --> 00:16:58,214
- Junior. Get him in there.
- Yes, sir.
369
00:16:58,298 --> 00:17:00,385
Hey, any sign of Amanda?
370
00:17:00,469 --> 00:17:02,399
No, but we got a shovel
with fresh dirt,
371
00:17:02,484 --> 00:17:05,629
zip ties,
and an empty bag of lye.
372
00:17:05,713 --> 00:17:08,218
Oh, that son of a bitch
buried her already...
373
00:17:09,687 --> 00:17:11,224
Somewhere.
374
00:17:16,033 --> 00:17:18,204
Where'd you bury her, Daniel?
375
00:17:20,475 --> 00:17:22,195
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
376
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,266
There's still
fresh dirt on the shovel.
377
00:17:24,350 --> 00:17:25,836
There was a bag of lye
in your pickup.
378
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,439
What was that for?
379
00:17:27,523 --> 00:17:28,975
We've seen
your dating profile.
380
00:17:29,059 --> 00:17:31,748
- We know you went out with her.
- So?
381
00:17:31,832 --> 00:17:34,654
She blew you off and it
made you very, very upset.
382
00:17:34,738 --> 00:17:36,674
Just...
Just tell us where she is.
383
00:17:38,578 --> 00:17:40,498
Tell us where she is,
or I swear to God!
384
00:17:40,582 --> 00:17:42,670
Frank!
385
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:50,736
I want a lawyer.
386
00:17:53,608 --> 00:17:54,778
Now.
387
00:17:56,715 --> 00:17:58,518
Let's go.
388
00:18:02,961 --> 00:18:04,579
Clock's running out.
389
00:18:04,663 --> 00:18:07,920
I can only hold him
another 18 hours.
390
00:18:08,004 --> 00:18:10,258
You want us to charge him?
391
00:18:10,342 --> 00:18:11,861
With what?
392
00:18:11,945 --> 00:18:13,364
Felony murder.
393
00:18:14,550 --> 00:18:16,470
We don't have a body.
394
00:18:16,554 --> 00:18:17,572
I don't think
we even have enough
395
00:18:17,656 --> 00:18:19,794
to make a kidnapping case
right now.
396
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,807
I'll run it up the flagpole.
397
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,668
We have a decent
circumstantial case.
398
00:18:31,752 --> 00:18:35,274
Without a body, it is
definitely less than decent.
399
00:18:35,358 --> 00:18:36,811
What evidence do you have?
400
00:18:36,895 --> 00:18:39,549
We found Amanda's prints
in Garrett's truck.
401
00:18:39,633 --> 00:18:41,487
They went on a date.
She was in his truck.
402
00:18:41,571 --> 00:18:44,359
We also have a witness
who saw someone matching
403
00:18:44,443 --> 00:18:46,147
Garrett's description
grab her off the street.
404
00:18:46,231 --> 00:18:48,334
A witness
with a four-page rap sheet
405
00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:50,371
who was unable
to make a positive ID.
406
00:18:50,455 --> 00:18:52,509
Garrett was hiding
in the woods
407
00:18:52,593 --> 00:18:54,881
with a shovel, zip ties, lye.
408
00:18:54,965 --> 00:18:56,918
I'm not saying it's perfect,
409
00:18:57,002 --> 00:18:58,722
but we definitely
have something...
410
00:18:58,806 --> 00:19:00,525
Definitely enough
to charge him.
411
00:19:00,609 --> 00:19:02,595
But not enough to convict.
412
00:19:02,679 --> 00:19:04,967
As it stands, we can't
even prove Amanda's dead.
413
00:19:05,051 --> 00:19:07,439
Are you questioning
whether or not she's dead?
414
00:19:07,523 --> 00:19:09,009
No, I'm questioning
whether or not
415
00:19:09,093 --> 00:19:11,313
we can convince
a jury she's dead.
416
00:19:11,397 --> 00:19:12,315
We get one bite at the apple.
417
00:19:12,399 --> 00:19:14,586
I don't want to blow it
by moving too quickly.
418
00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:17,459
Wharton State Forest
is massive.
419
00:19:17,543 --> 00:19:20,999
Good chance we never
find Amanda's remains.
420
00:19:21,083 --> 00:19:25,041
It's not ideal,
but you need to move forward.
421
00:19:25,125 --> 00:19:27,947
Try this case
with what we have.
422
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:34,526
With all due respect,
you want to try a murder case
423
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:37,332
even though we can't
prove how, when,
424
00:19:37,416 --> 00:19:39,402
or even if
the victim was killed?
425
00:19:39,486 --> 00:19:42,008
- That's correct.
- May I ask why?
426
00:19:42,092 --> 00:19:45,599
Because it's a hell of a lot
better than the alternative.
427
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:58,993
Docket number CR-200931-22
People v Daniel Garrett
428
00:19:59,078 --> 00:20:00,766
alleging murder
in the first degree.
429
00:20:01,732 --> 00:20:03,071
How do you plead,
Mr. Garrett?
430
00:20:03,220 --> 00:20:04,955
- Not guilty.
- Bail?
431
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,033
Mr. Garrett is accused
of felony murder in connection
432
00:20:08,118 --> 00:20:10,598
with the kidnapping
and slaying of Amanda Larson.
433
00:20:10,682 --> 00:20:12,830
The defendant
has no significant ties
434
00:20:12,915 --> 00:20:15,036
to the community and has
already proven himself
435
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:16,204
to be a flight risk.
436
00:20:16,288 --> 00:20:18,776
He was apprehended hiding
at a campsite
437
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:21,114
deep in the woods
of Wharton Forest.
438
00:20:21,198 --> 00:20:22,350
People seek remand.
439
00:20:22,434 --> 00:20:23,853
I'll hear you on bail.
440
00:20:23,937 --> 00:20:27,593
I am filing a motion
to dismiss.
441
00:20:27,677 --> 00:20:31,101
The complaint
is legally insufficient.
442
00:20:31,185 --> 00:20:32,938
The people will never be
able to present
443
00:20:33,022 --> 00:20:34,607
a prima facie murder case.
444
00:20:34,691 --> 00:20:36,846
There are no forensics linking
my client to the crime,
445
00:20:36,930 --> 00:20:40,119
and, in fact, no evidence
that a crime even occurred.
446
00:20:40,203 --> 00:20:42,356
There is no body.
447
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,829
You're bringing
a homicide case without a body?
448
00:20:44,913 --> 00:20:47,100
It's true that
the victim's remains
449
00:20:47,184 --> 00:20:48,602
haven't yet been recovered.
450
00:20:48,686 --> 00:20:50,339
Because she isn't dead.
451
00:20:50,423 --> 00:20:52,276
Amanda Larson
is a social media star.
452
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:54,114
This is all
a big publicity stunt.
453
00:20:54,198 --> 00:20:55,382
That's preposterous.
454
00:20:55,466 --> 00:20:57,754
I literally just read
on Twitter that she's
455
00:20:57,838 --> 00:21:00,159
in the Bahamas
sitting on the beach.
456
00:21:00,243 --> 00:21:01,896
Perhaps I'm a purist,
Counselor...
457
00:21:01,980 --> 00:21:04,033
I don't accept
tweets as evidence.
458
00:21:04,117 --> 00:21:05,770
Motion denied.
459
00:21:05,854 --> 00:21:08,375
The defendant is remanded.
Next case.
460
00:21:10,463 --> 00:21:12,116
It's pretty clear
the defense is gonna focus
461
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,320
on Amanda's
social media presence,
462
00:21:14,404 --> 00:21:16,324
claim this is all part
463
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,697
of some big,
twisted attention grab.
464
00:21:19,781 --> 00:21:22,770
There's a lot of money
in being an influencer.
465
00:21:22,854 --> 00:21:24,707
- Your point?
- All they have to do is
466
00:21:24,791 --> 00:21:26,044
convince one juror that
467
00:21:26,128 --> 00:21:28,917
there's a possibility
that Amanda is alive,
468
00:21:29,001 --> 00:21:32,190
that this is a publicity stunt,
and we have a mistrial.
469
00:21:32,274 --> 00:21:35,663
So let's, uh,
470
00:21:35,747 --> 00:21:37,700
let's keep
all social media addicts
471
00:21:37,784 --> 00:21:40,206
and aspiring influencers
off the jury.
472
00:21:40,290 --> 00:21:42,777
That's pretty much everyone
under 30.
473
00:21:42,861 --> 00:21:46,151
And anyone with negative
views of social media stars.
474
00:21:46,235 --> 00:21:48,739
That's pretty much
everyone over 30.
475
00:21:51,245 --> 00:21:53,900
Garrett had a social media
presence as well, correct?
476
00:21:53,984 --> 00:21:54,835
Yeah.
477
00:21:54,919 --> 00:21:58,041
It was complete fiction,
but he had presence,
478
00:21:58,125 --> 00:21:59,277
especially on the dating apps.
479
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:01,949
So then it's doubtful that
Amanda was the first woman that
480
00:22:02,033 --> 00:22:04,037
he ever reeled in
with a fake persona.
481
00:22:06,442 --> 00:22:07,961
Want me to look
for other victims?
482
00:22:08,045 --> 00:22:11,869
Or at least other people
that he duped or stalked.
483
00:22:11,953 --> 00:22:13,422
Worth a try.
484
00:22:19,234 --> 00:22:22,958
We've identified six women...
All willing to testify
485
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:25,329
they met
Mr. Garrett through phony,
486
00:22:25,413 --> 00:22:27,935
duplicitous
social media interactions.
487
00:22:28,019 --> 00:22:29,839
Garrett would
present himself as a doctor,
488
00:22:29,923 --> 00:22:33,178
a lawyer, a banker,
then meet these women.
489
00:22:33,262 --> 00:22:34,480
When they
discovered he was lying,
490
00:22:34,564 --> 00:22:36,751
they ended the date,
or the relationship,
491
00:22:36,835 --> 00:22:39,123
as the case may be,
at which point
492
00:22:39,207 --> 00:22:41,228
Garrett got incensed,
493
00:22:41,312 --> 00:22:45,069
lashed out at the women,
called them whores, tramps.
494
00:22:45,153 --> 00:22:46,939
In two separate instances,
495
00:22:47,023 --> 00:22:49,410
he actually assaulted
the women.
496
00:22:49,494 --> 00:22:51,781
- And you want them to testify?
- Yes.
497
00:22:51,865 --> 00:22:54,020
How is their testimony
remotely relevant
498
00:22:54,104 --> 00:22:55,055
to this murder case?
499
00:22:55,139 --> 00:22:56,826
We'll demonstrate
a clear pattern of behavior,
500
00:22:56,910 --> 00:22:58,228
admissible under Molineux.
501
00:22:58,312 --> 00:23:00,132
Molineux requires prior
bad acts similar in nature.
502
00:23:00,216 --> 00:23:02,737
My client obviously
didn't kill any of these women.
503
00:23:02,821 --> 00:23:05,276
He came damn close...
Two different times.
504
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,146
Hit one woman in the face.
505
00:23:07,230 --> 00:23:10,019
He forced another
into his truck at knife point.
506
00:23:10,103 --> 00:23:11,755
Fortunately,
she managed to escape.
507
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:12,858
Your Honor,
none of this has anything to do
508
00:23:12,942 --> 00:23:15,296
with whether or not my client
killed Amanda Larson.
509
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:18,168
It'll give the jury
a complete and accurate picture
510
00:23:18,252 --> 00:23:19,537
of who the defendant really is.
511
00:23:19,621 --> 00:23:22,160
That he is capable of violence.
512
00:23:25,266 --> 00:23:26,769
It's a close call.
513
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:32,163
But the prejudicial impact
outweighs the probative value.
514
00:23:32,247 --> 00:23:33,516
Motion is denied.
515
00:23:38,392 --> 00:23:39,777
We'll be fine.
516
00:23:39,861 --> 00:23:42,149
We just need to dig
into the evidence we have.
517
00:23:42,233 --> 00:23:43,920
When all the facts
have been presented,
518
00:23:44,004 --> 00:23:46,057
the only logical conclusion
will be
519
00:23:46,141 --> 00:23:48,462
Garrett threw her in his truck,
killed her,
520
00:23:48,546 --> 00:23:50,299
then buried her body
in that state park.
521
00:23:50,383 --> 00:23:52,803
I hope you're right.
522
00:23:52,887 --> 00:23:55,977
- Are they here for us?
- Oh, no.
523
00:23:56,061 --> 00:23:57,246
What?
524
00:23:57,330 --> 00:24:00,786
A new photo was just posted
on Amanda's social media feed.
525
00:24:00,870 --> 00:24:02,858
"A little fun in the sun."
526
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:04,895
Tag says she's in Cancun?
527
00:24:04,979 --> 00:24:06,933
Someone must've
hacked her account.
528
00:24:07,017 --> 00:24:08,775
Posted six minutes ago,
and it already has
529
00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:10,839
over 5,000 comments.
530
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:13,478
A lot of people
are giving her emojis,
531
00:24:13,562 --> 00:24:15,917
smiley faces, and thumbs up.
532
00:24:16,001 --> 00:24:17,520
Mr. Price, what do you think
about Amanda Larson's photo?
533
00:24:17,604 --> 00:24:19,123
Are you going to ask
the Mexican authorities
534
00:24:19,207 --> 00:24:20,359
to help find her?
535
00:24:20,443 --> 00:24:23,131
I just read that your office
is going to drop the charges.
536
00:24:23,215 --> 00:24:26,839
No, that's false.
We're not dropping the charges.
537
00:24:26,923 --> 00:24:29,061
Beyond that,
I have no further comment.
538
00:24:36,970 --> 00:24:40,789
There's no way Amanda posted
that photograph. Not in a million years.
539
00:24:41,068 --> 00:24:42,621
Why do you say that?
540
00:24:42,706 --> 00:24:44,225
I know my daughter.
541
00:24:44,558 --> 00:24:48,040
She's a kind, loving,
conscientious woman.
542
00:24:48,142 --> 00:24:51,364
If she were alive,
she would let us know.
543
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,134
She would call me.
544
00:24:53,419 --> 00:24:55,642
Were you and Amanda close?
545
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,067
We talked
on the phone every day.
546
00:24:58,229 --> 00:25:02,019
I loved hearing about her life,
her adventures.
547
00:25:02,103 --> 00:25:05,448
Did she have plans
to take a break
548
00:25:05,533 --> 00:25:07,330
from the road,
come home for a few days?
549
00:25:07,414 --> 00:25:09,502
Yes, she was going
to surprise her grandfather
550
00:25:09,587 --> 00:25:11,853
for his 80th birthday.
551
00:25:11,956 --> 00:25:13,709
We were supposed
to have a party.
552
00:25:13,794 --> 00:25:15,947
It would've been yesterday.
553
00:25:16,031 --> 00:25:18,218
She never would've missed it.
554
00:25:18,302 --> 00:25:19,304
Never.
555
00:25:21,776 --> 00:25:22,861
Thank you.
556
00:25:22,945 --> 00:25:24,849
And again,
I'm sorry for your loss.
557
00:25:27,053 --> 00:25:28,256
Your witness.
558
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:32,130
Good afternoon, Ms. Larson.
559
00:25:34,534 --> 00:25:38,225
I'm going to have to ask you
some difficult questions.
560
00:25:38,309 --> 00:25:41,699
How many social media followers
did Amanda have
561
00:25:41,783 --> 00:25:43,468
when she started
her van life adventure?
562
00:25:43,552 --> 00:25:46,374
- I'm not sure.
- About two million.
563
00:25:46,458 --> 00:25:47,744
Does that sound about right?
564
00:25:47,828 --> 00:25:50,015
I know that
she was very popular.
565
00:25:50,099 --> 00:25:51,384
People loved watching her.
566
00:25:51,468 --> 00:25:53,857
And how many followers
does she have now,
567
00:25:53,941 --> 00:25:55,192
since she left New York?
568
00:25:55,276 --> 00:25:57,263
She didn't leave New York.
569
00:25:57,347 --> 00:26:00,035
She was abducted and killed!
570
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,741
The answer
is over ten million.
571
00:26:02,825 --> 00:26:04,845
Objection,
counsel is testifying.
572
00:26:04,929 --> 00:26:06,432
Ask a question, Ms. Knight.
573
00:26:09,004 --> 00:26:11,726
Your daughter started off
her social media career
574
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:15,466
with a travel blog,
is that correct?
575
00:26:15,550 --> 00:26:18,973
Yes, it eventually evolved
into her van life blog.
576
00:26:19,057 --> 00:26:22,280
And there was some
controversy about that account
577
00:26:22,364 --> 00:26:24,885
a few years back, wasn't there?
578
00:26:24,969 --> 00:26:29,427
People accused her of lying
to get attention,
579
00:26:29,511 --> 00:26:32,199
said she was
photoshopping images of herself
580
00:26:32,283 --> 00:26:34,972
onto fake backgrounds.
581
00:26:35,056 --> 00:26:36,976
Made it look like
she was in Paris,
582
00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:40,082
when really, she was sitting
in your kitchen in Columbus.
583
00:26:40,166 --> 00:26:43,021
The blog was fun,
aspirational.
584
00:26:43,105 --> 00:26:45,492
Amanda was still a teenager,
nobody was supposed to believe
585
00:26:45,576 --> 00:26:47,764
that she was off
traveling the world by herself.
586
00:26:47,848 --> 00:26:50,536
Isn't it true that
your daughter's primary goal
587
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:52,173
is to create buzz?
588
00:26:52,257 --> 00:26:54,177
Increase traffic to her page?
589
00:26:54,261 --> 00:26:55,880
It's only part
of who she was.
590
00:26:55,964 --> 00:26:58,886
Yes, she liked the attention,
it gave her a sense
591
00:26:58,970 --> 00:27:01,224
of community,
a feeling that she belonged.
592
00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:02,928
It also generated
593
00:27:03,012 --> 00:27:06,268
quite a bit of revenue
for her, too, didn't it?
594
00:27:06,352 --> 00:27:08,556
It helped defray
the cost of her trips.
595
00:27:10,259 --> 00:27:13,048
You are talking
about my daughter.
596
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:16,121
She was a good person!
597
00:27:16,205 --> 00:27:18,860
She was kind to people.
598
00:27:18,944 --> 00:27:20,462
She loved animals.
599
00:27:20,546 --> 00:27:23,068
Loved her family.
600
00:27:23,152 --> 00:27:26,274
And we loved her very much.
601
00:27:26,358 --> 00:27:28,462
And now she's dead.
602
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,253
Where is she?
603
00:27:32,337 --> 00:27:36,094
Please, just tell me.
Where is Amanda?
604
00:27:36,178 --> 00:27:38,565
- I'm begging you!
- Your Honor, please.
605
00:27:38,649 --> 00:27:40,035
Okay,
let's take a breather.
606
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,571
We're in recess.
607
00:27:53,914 --> 00:27:57,904
I'm sorry you have to go
through all this.
608
00:27:57,988 --> 00:27:59,842
He knows where she is.
609
00:27:59,926 --> 00:28:01,511
Why won't he just...
610
00:28:01,595 --> 00:28:03,515
I just want to know
where she is.
611
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:06,254
Give her a proper burial,
for God's sake.
612
00:28:06,338 --> 00:28:08,358
We have
three agencies out there
613
00:28:08,442 --> 00:28:11,164
right now, searching,
looking for Amanda.
614
00:28:11,248 --> 00:28:14,270
We know.
And we appreciate it.
615
00:28:14,354 --> 00:28:16,942
She's my little girl.
616
00:28:17,026 --> 00:28:20,215
And she's all alone
in that forest.
617
00:28:20,299 --> 00:28:21,668
That's all I think about.
618
00:28:23,372 --> 00:28:26,528
I... I can't sleep, I...
619
00:28:26,612 --> 00:28:27,614
Excuse us.
620
00:28:34,227 --> 00:28:37,550
- Finally some good news.
- What?
621
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:40,289
Garrett is
going to take the stand.
622
00:28:40,373 --> 00:28:42,293
Son of a bitch
is so used to lying,
623
00:28:42,377 --> 00:28:44,014
he thinks he can fool the jury.
624
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,438
I liked Amanda.
625
00:28:48,522 --> 00:28:49,691
I thought she liked me too.
626
00:28:51,395 --> 00:28:53,415
Guess I misread her vibe.
627
00:28:53,499 --> 00:28:55,452
What'd you talk about
on your date?
628
00:28:55,536 --> 00:28:57,523
Her trip across the country,
mostly.
629
00:28:57,607 --> 00:29:00,229
Places she'd been,
people she met.
630
00:29:00,313 --> 00:29:02,667
- Did you ask her out again?
- Yeah.
631
00:29:02,751 --> 00:29:05,406
But, um,
she's the kind of woman
632
00:29:05,490 --> 00:29:08,311
who's always looking
for the next party.
633
00:29:08,395 --> 00:29:09,995
There's nothing
wrong with that, I guess.
634
00:29:11,668 --> 00:29:12,668
Thank you.
635
00:29:16,178 --> 00:29:19,333
Good afternoon, Mr. Garrett.
636
00:29:19,417 --> 00:29:23,008
Or should I call you
Mr. Spencer?
637
00:29:23,092 --> 00:29:25,612
Or Mr. Jackson?
638
00:29:25,696 --> 00:29:28,369
Or Mr. Honan?
639
00:29:30,506 --> 00:29:34,564
Those dating profiles
are all yours, correct?
640
00:29:34,648 --> 00:29:36,468
Sometimes I use
different names on dating apps.
641
00:29:36,552 --> 00:29:37,704
I have to protect myself...
642
00:29:37,788 --> 00:29:39,148
There's a lot
of crazies out there.
643
00:29:41,395 --> 00:29:42,981
Yes, there are.
644
00:29:43,065 --> 00:29:45,620
But you didn't go
to Princeton, correct?
645
00:29:45,704 --> 00:29:48,042
Or Harvard Medical School?
646
00:29:49,444 --> 00:29:50,596
Come on, people
exaggerate on those sites.
647
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,667
You didn't go to college at
all, let alone medical school.
648
00:29:52,751 --> 00:29:55,239
You just said you did
in order to meet women,
649
00:29:55,323 --> 00:29:56,508
women like Amanda Larson.
650
00:29:56,592 --> 00:29:57,978
Look,
I was just playing around.
651
00:29:58,062 --> 00:29:59,681
It was like
a social experiment.
652
00:29:59,765 --> 00:30:01,618
I wanted to see
which résumé was the best.
653
00:30:01,702 --> 00:30:04,123
- It was like a joke.
- Oh.
654
00:30:04,207 --> 00:30:07,496
You went out with Amanda
on March 1st, correct?
655
00:30:07,580 --> 00:30:11,104
Yes... we had coffee,
then did some sightseeing.
656
00:30:11,188 --> 00:30:12,173
That was it.
657
00:30:12,257 --> 00:30:13,508
No, actually, that wasn't it
658
00:30:13,592 --> 00:30:16,514
because a couple of hours
after she turned you down
659
00:30:16,598 --> 00:30:19,387
for a second date,
you went to Home Depot
660
00:30:19,471 --> 00:30:23,996
on 23rd Street
and bought zip ties.
661
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,403
A shovel. A plastic tarp.
662
00:30:27,487 --> 00:30:29,440
I was going camping.
663
00:30:29,524 --> 00:30:33,048
You also bought
a 30 pound bag of lye.
664
00:30:35,169 --> 00:30:36,371
What was that for?
665
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:40,146
To keep animals away.
666
00:30:44,287 --> 00:30:45,405
Let's go back
to the timeline,
667
00:30:45,489 --> 00:30:48,278
the things we know for certain.
668
00:30:48,362 --> 00:30:51,101
You tricked Amanda Larson
into having coffee with you.
669
00:30:52,604 --> 00:30:55,727
Did some sightseeing.
She rejected you.
670
00:30:55,811 --> 00:30:59,033
You went out and bought
a bag of lye and a shovel.
671
00:30:59,117 --> 00:31:01,705
Then you dragged her off
the street and into your truck.
672
00:31:01,789 --> 00:31:05,412
She fought back and lost one
of her shoes in the struggle.
673
00:31:05,496 --> 00:31:07,550
Objection,
this isn't a question.
674
00:31:07,634 --> 00:31:10,055
- It's a closing argument.
- Sustained.
675
00:31:10,139 --> 00:31:11,642
Anything else, Mr. Price?
676
00:31:14,648 --> 00:31:16,802
Uh, no, that covers it.
677
00:31:16,886 --> 00:31:18,505
Okay, we're adjourned
for the day.
678
00:31:23,265 --> 00:31:25,452
Nice job.
679
00:31:29,544 --> 00:31:30,781
Nolan Price.
680
00:31:33,218 --> 00:31:36,074
Okay, we'll be right there.
681
00:31:36,158 --> 00:31:37,509
That was Bernard.
682
00:31:37,593 --> 00:31:39,497
Someone just found Amanda's
missing shoe.
683
00:31:47,787 --> 00:31:52,865
Well, as you can see, Lisa's been following
the case religiously.
684
00:31:54,294 --> 00:31:56,247
I went to high school
with Danny Garrett.
685
00:31:56,331 --> 00:31:58,686
He was a total loser
back then too.
686
00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:00,657
So how'd you find the shoe?
687
00:32:00,741 --> 00:32:02,426
I remembered
Danny's cousin had a cabin
688
00:32:02,510 --> 00:32:03,562
near Wharton Forest.
689
00:32:03,646 --> 00:32:07,637
He invited me there once,
said he was having a party.
690
00:32:07,721 --> 00:32:10,810
But when I got there,
there was no party.
691
00:32:10,894 --> 00:32:13,716
And I just started running.
692
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,403
Never been so scared
in my life.
693
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,262
Lisa decided to check out
the cabin for herself.
694
00:32:20,346 --> 00:32:23,268
I thought I might find
Amanda's dead body there.
695
00:32:23,352 --> 00:32:26,474
I didn't, but I saw the shoe
inside the house.
696
00:32:26,558 --> 00:32:28,779
I knew it was the exact
same one found near her van.
697
00:32:28,863 --> 00:32:30,182
How do you know that?
698
00:32:30,266 --> 00:32:31,852
I saw the pictures
on social media.
699
00:32:31,936 --> 00:32:33,856
Did someone let you
into the cabin?
700
00:32:33,940 --> 00:32:36,527
No. No one was there.
701
00:32:36,611 --> 00:32:37,864
How'd you get in?
702
00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:39,868
I jimmied the lock.
703
00:32:39,952 --> 00:32:42,825
- You broke in?
- Yeah, that a problem?
704
00:32:45,396 --> 00:32:47,149
The good news is,
the owners of the cabin
705
00:32:47,233 --> 00:32:48,285
don't want to press charges.
706
00:32:48,369 --> 00:32:51,291
Bad news is, that damn shoe
is fraught with issues.
707
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:52,393
No, the law is clear.
708
00:32:52,477 --> 00:32:54,898
The 4th Amendment doesn't apply
to private citizens.
709
00:32:54,982 --> 00:32:56,769
A motion to suppress
will be denied.
710
00:32:56,853 --> 00:32:58,138
This is about
more than meeting
711
00:32:58,222 --> 00:32:59,373
the threshold
for admissibility.
712
00:32:59,457 --> 00:33:01,611
Photos of Amanda's shoe
from the crime scene
713
00:33:01,695 --> 00:33:02,881
were all over the internet.
714
00:33:02,965 --> 00:33:05,820
It is plausible
this witness saw the photos,
715
00:33:05,904 --> 00:33:08,325
went down to Macy's,
and bought its mate.
716
00:33:08,409 --> 00:33:10,930
That shoe is identical
to the one at the crime scene.
717
00:33:11,014 --> 00:33:14,303
Same size,
same amount of wear and tear.
718
00:33:14,387 --> 00:33:16,842
She could easily
have manipulated it.
719
00:33:16,926 --> 00:33:18,545
You think
the witness is lying?
720
00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:20,349
No, but the jury might.
721
00:33:20,433 --> 00:33:22,186
A key piece of evidence
suddenly
722
00:33:22,270 --> 00:33:24,156
appears at the 11th hour?
It doesn't look good.
723
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,797
And if the jury doesn't buy it,
they'll hold us responsible.
724
00:33:27,881 --> 00:33:29,735
The circumstances
surrounding the search
725
00:33:29,819 --> 00:33:31,337
were less than ideal.
726
00:33:31,421 --> 00:33:34,510
But the shoe
is the next best thing
727
00:33:34,594 --> 00:33:36,749
to having Amanda Larson's body.
728
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:38,837
Put the witness on the stand.
729
00:33:42,009 --> 00:33:43,763
I found it
under the mattress.
730
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:45,700
In his cousin's cabin
less than a mile
731
00:33:45,784 --> 00:33:47,704
- from Wharton Forest.
- Thank you.
732
00:33:47,788 --> 00:33:49,841
Your Honor,
let the record reflect
733
00:33:49,925 --> 00:33:52,881
that the shoe I'm holding
is the exact same brand,
734
00:33:52,965 --> 00:33:55,953
same size,
same color as the shoe
735
00:33:56,037 --> 00:33:58,342
recovered outside
of Amanda Larson's van.
736
00:34:04,454 --> 00:34:05,857
I'll allow it.
737
00:34:08,462 --> 00:34:10,399
You never liked my client,
did you?
738
00:34:11,769 --> 00:34:12,687
- Correct.
- You've known him
739
00:34:12,771 --> 00:34:13,923
since high school?
740
00:34:14,007 --> 00:34:15,660
He was in my
10th grade homeroom.
741
00:34:15,744 --> 00:34:19,768
You asked him to prom,
and he turned you down, right?
742
00:34:19,852 --> 00:34:21,288
Is that what he said?
743
00:34:23,425 --> 00:34:24,410
He's delusional.
744
00:34:24,494 --> 00:34:27,282
Please just answer
the question.
745
00:34:27,366 --> 00:34:29,520
No, I never asked him
to prom.
746
00:34:29,604 --> 00:34:32,526
You started a podcast
about this case about a week
747
00:34:32,610 --> 00:34:35,900
before miraculously
finding this shoe.
748
00:34:35,984 --> 00:34:37,536
I have a podcast, yes.
749
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:40,409
And this trial will increase
the size of your audience?
750
00:34:40,493 --> 00:34:42,579
- Probably.
- And your social media
751
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:44,885
followers will skyrocket
as well?
752
00:34:44,969 --> 00:34:46,421
I suppose.
753
00:34:46,505 --> 00:34:48,726
You planning to do any
of the morning talk shows?
754
00:34:48,810 --> 00:34:50,429
I got a few requests.
755
00:34:50,513 --> 00:34:53,368
Must feel good,
all that attention.
756
00:34:53,452 --> 00:34:56,040
I'm just doing what's right
because I know the truth.
757
00:34:56,124 --> 00:34:58,646
I know that Daniel Garrett
is dangerous.
758
00:34:58,730 --> 00:35:02,019
You haven't spoken
to my client in several years.
759
00:35:02,103 --> 00:35:05,292
You have no idea
if he's dangerous.
760
00:35:05,376 --> 00:35:07,596
You're just fabricating stories
so that you can raise
761
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,266
your profile to help launch
762
00:35:09,350 --> 00:35:12,372
- your social media brand.
- Objection.
763
00:35:12,456 --> 00:35:15,312
Withdrawn. That's all I have.
764
00:35:15,396 --> 00:35:17,416
Are there any
additional witnesses?
765
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,571
- No, Your Honor.
- Ms. Knight?
766
00:35:24,882 --> 00:35:28,071
May I have some time
to confer with the prosecution?
767
00:35:28,155 --> 00:35:29,841
Let's recess until tomorrow.
768
00:35:32,931 --> 00:35:35,352
Hypothetically speaking,
if my client
769
00:35:35,436 --> 00:35:38,458
could lead you to the location
of Ms. Laron's remains,
770
00:35:38,542 --> 00:35:40,562
what kind of deal
are you willing to proffer?
771
00:35:42,951 --> 00:35:44,905
What are you looking for?
772
00:35:44,989 --> 00:35:47,644
Man one. Fifteen years.
773
00:35:47,728 --> 00:35:49,981
On a felony murder?
774
00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:51,584
Choice number two
is Amanda's parents
775
00:35:51,668 --> 00:35:53,421
never find their daughter.
776
00:35:58,950 --> 00:36:00,486
We'll get back to you.
777
00:36:04,962 --> 00:36:11,491
I can't make any guarantees,
but as things stand right now,
778
00:36:11,575 --> 00:36:16,067
I think we have a good shot
at a guilty verdict.
779
00:36:16,151 --> 00:36:19,406
If so, Garrett is
staring down a life sentence.
780
00:36:19,490 --> 00:36:23,949
Believe me,
I want him to rot in prison.
781
00:36:24,033 --> 00:36:25,786
But there's one thing
I want more.
782
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:27,489
Closure.
783
00:36:27,573 --> 00:36:29,527
A conviction
will give you closure.
784
00:36:29,611 --> 00:36:32,083
No, a conviction
will give you closure.
785
00:36:33,218 --> 00:36:36,040
You'll move on
to your next case.
786
00:36:36,124 --> 00:36:38,695
But we'll still be
in the exact same position!
787
00:36:40,132 --> 00:36:42,553
Waiting by the phone,
788
00:36:42,637 --> 00:36:44,523
wondering where
our daughter is.
789
00:36:44,607 --> 00:36:46,929
But you'll have
the peace of mind to know
790
00:36:47,013 --> 00:36:49,366
that Garrett is behind bars,
791
00:36:49,450 --> 00:36:51,972
that he won't be able to hurt
anyone else's daughter.
792
00:36:52,056 --> 00:36:55,545
Look, we get it,
but we...
793
00:36:55,629 --> 00:37:00,923
No, we want to give
our daughter a proper burial.
794
00:37:01,007 --> 00:37:03,027
So please.
795
00:37:03,111 --> 00:37:05,498
Make the deal.
796
00:37:11,862 --> 00:37:13,581
I think
we should make the deal.
797
00:37:13,665 --> 00:37:17,991
We can't just ignore the
Larsons' desire for closure.
798
00:37:18,075 --> 00:37:21,665
I have tremendous empathy
for them, I do.
799
00:37:21,749 --> 00:37:23,903
But we're not
their personal attorneys.
800
00:37:23,987 --> 00:37:25,572
We can't let their grieving,
801
00:37:25,656 --> 00:37:28,495
their emotions,
drive the train here.
802
00:37:30,032 --> 00:37:32,720
You want to go
to the jury with this?
803
00:37:32,804 --> 00:37:35,559
We can't just give
a predator a sweetheart deal
804
00:37:35,643 --> 00:37:39,567
to make the family feel better
about a horrible situation.
805
00:37:39,651 --> 00:37:40,770
It's a jury trial.
806
00:37:40,854 --> 00:37:43,876
That photo of her on the beach
is still making the rounds.
807
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,111
Anything's possible.
808
00:37:45,195 --> 00:37:47,750
Means there is a chance
we could lose.
809
00:37:47,834 --> 00:37:49,153
Then what?
810
00:37:49,237 --> 00:37:51,190
The Larsons will never know
where Amanda is buried,
811
00:37:51,274 --> 00:37:54,597
and Garrett will be
back out on the street.
812
00:37:54,681 --> 00:37:58,605
- How old is Garrett?
- 27.
813
00:37:58,689 --> 00:38:01,510
If we take the deal...
814
00:38:01,594 --> 00:38:04,216
Garrett will wind up serving
about 12 1/2 years,
815
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:09,126
which means he'll be 39
years old when he's released.
816
00:38:09,210 --> 00:38:11,632
Plenty of time to victimize
817
00:38:11,716 --> 00:38:13,685
a whole new generation
of women.
818
00:38:16,057 --> 00:38:18,646
Can you bring
this one home, Nolan?
819
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:20,148
I believe I can.
820
00:38:20,232 --> 00:38:22,754
Then pass on the deal.
821
00:38:27,246 --> 00:38:30,001
Bury this son of a bitch.
822
00:38:36,631 --> 00:38:39,553
People have always
been interested in true crime,
823
00:38:39,637 --> 00:38:43,161
but lately, it's become
a national obsession...
824
00:38:43,245 --> 00:38:45,766
Fueled by the internet.
825
00:38:45,850 --> 00:38:49,874
Someone goes missing,
and people want to follow along
826
00:38:49,958 --> 00:38:51,177
in real time.
827
00:38:51,261 --> 00:38:57,055
A family's tragedy
becomes entertainment,
828
00:38:57,139 --> 00:38:59,159
an exciting mystery
to be solved.
829
00:38:59,243 --> 00:39:03,769
And the people involved
become objects of our...
830
00:39:03,853 --> 00:39:05,673
Our curiosity.
831
00:39:05,757 --> 00:39:08,144
Their faces are splashed
all over social media,
832
00:39:08,228 --> 00:39:10,582
so many times that we begin
to think we know them,
833
00:39:10,666 --> 00:39:13,021
based on nothing more
than a photograph
834
00:39:13,105 --> 00:39:17,697
or a description
on a dating site.
835
00:39:17,781 --> 00:39:23,558
The line between truth
and fiction is blurred.
836
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:28,886
Daniel Garrett created
a false narrative in order
837
00:39:28,970 --> 00:39:31,692
to dupe Amanda Larson.
838
00:39:31,776 --> 00:39:34,864
And that is exactly
what the defense
839
00:39:34,948 --> 00:39:38,137
is trying to do to you.
840
00:39:38,221 --> 00:39:40,225
Don't fall for it.
841
00:39:41,962 --> 00:39:44,616
Learn from Amanda's mistake.
842
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:48,692
The credible, reliable,
real-life evidence
843
00:39:48,776 --> 00:39:53,101
proves that
Amanda Larson is dead
844
00:39:53,185 --> 00:39:54,587
and that he killed her.
845
00:40:00,032 --> 00:40:01,918
When you go back
to the jury room to deliberate,
846
00:40:02,002 --> 00:40:04,556
remember one thing.
847
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,598
"Verdict" comes from the Latin
"veredictum."
848
00:40:08,682 --> 00:40:10,301
It means to speak the truth.
849
00:40:10,385 --> 00:40:15,145
So when you come back out here,
I ask you to do
850
00:40:15,229 --> 00:40:18,235
what Daniel Garrett
seems incapable of doing.
851
00:40:20,172 --> 00:40:22,159
Speak the truth.
852
00:40:34,133 --> 00:40:36,320
Has the jury
reached a verdict?
853
00:40:36,404 --> 00:40:39,059
We have, Your Honor.
854
00:40:39,143 --> 00:40:41,030
We find the defendant guilty.
855
00:40:44,755 --> 00:40:46,775
Members of the jury,
thank you for your service.
856
00:40:46,859 --> 00:40:49,681
You are excused.
857
00:40:57,714 --> 00:41:00,770
We did the right thing, Sam.
858
00:41:00,854 --> 00:41:03,809
Not sure Amanda's parents
would agree.64088
