<v Speaker 2>summer night in two thousand, Amy Shoot and Jason Bergerson

38
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>were set upon by five predatory youths outside of Providence,

39
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island club. It began as a twisted joy ride

40
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>for the young kidnappers. It ended in cold blooded murder

41
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>in a town's relentless fight for justice. The book they

47
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Good afternoon, Dan, and how are you today? Oh?

48
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Fine, Thank you very much, let's talk about initially, just

49
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>like in this book, here, this happened and occurred in

50
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>June eighth, two thousand and this is in Providence, Rhode Island,

51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and you talk about Jason Bergerson and Amy Shoote. Tell

52
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>us a little bit about you where you were as

53
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>a detective at that time. You said you were a

54
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>junior detective. You as you're writing a book, tell us

55
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 2>where you were in your career before we talk about

56
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the circumstances when you heard about this crime and got

57
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 2>intimately and inextricably involved.

58
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Well as far as being the junior detective, I had

59
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 3>been in detectives for approximately eight or ninety eights at

60
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>that point, but we still had many senior detectives over

61
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>me who handled a majority of the major clients that

62
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 3>came in on this particular day. It was a summer

63
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 3>day pretty much, and many had gone on vacation or

64
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 3>took days off, etc. And I happened to be, uh

65
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 3>the low man on the pole, So I was working

66
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 3>that day along with the two other BCI officer and

67
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 3>a narcotics officer, So we were at a skeleton crew

68
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 3>for the day right when the call did actually come in.

69
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 3>It came in around noontime of that day, and then

70
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 3>prior to that it had been relatively quiet. And when

71
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 3>the call came in, I walked into dispatch, and ironically

72
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I was just about ready to out of lunch with

73
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>one of the patrol officers and they called me ping

74
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 3>at a at the time, and he turned to me,

75
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>he said, think you had to get down to the

76
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 3>golf course that was under construction in our town. He said,

77
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 3>there was a They just found two.

78
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Bodies right.

79
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Now. As you do, as you write in the book

80
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 2>on June nathh you talked about several days before Jason

81
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Bergerson and Amy. Shoot, now, who are these young people?

82
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>How old were these people? And tell us about their

83
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>relationship and what happened? What were they planning to do?

84
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>What was the relationship about? How long had they known

85
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>each other? Tell us a little bit about their relationship

86
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and what they were planning to do on that June

87
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>evening in two thousand.

88
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 3>While Jason Burgison and Amy they were relatively new in

89
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>their relationship, just dating several months.

90
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Both were into music.

91
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Jason had gone to Saint claud University and he was

92
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 3>an inspiring DJ, and Amy at the time was taking

93
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 3>some time off from going to the University of Rhode

94
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Island and she was working and on the night of

95
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>the incident, they had made plans with several of their

96
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 3>other friends to go to a dance club in Providence

97
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 3>and just do what you know, normal kids do. And

98
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 3>when I say kids, they were you know, early twenties,

99
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 3>late teens, and they just wanted to have a good time,

100
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 3>as many teens would want to do, and ultimately they

101
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 3>ended up in the city of Providence.

102
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Now you introduce a character that's important to this story,

103
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 2>and especially right in the very beginning, as statistically something

104
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>like this might make police look at this person quite

105
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 2>seriously when something happened close to him like this. Amy

106
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Shoot talk about Jeffrey Harper and who he was and

107
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>what happened that night with him.

108
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 3>And Jeffrey Hopper was a former boyfriend of Amy Shoot,

109
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 3>but he tried to remain relatively friendly with her and

110
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 3>they were on speaking terms. Jeff realized that Amy was

111
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 3>moving on in her relationships and she again just started

112
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 3>dating Jason. Jeff kind of called Amy and they had

113
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Amy expressed that her and a group of friends, along

114
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>with Jason, we're going to come to a nightclub go

115
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 3>to a nightclub in Providence, and that you know, he

116
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 3>was welcome to come. But she also had made the

117
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 3>understanding that you know, she is now strictly friends with him.

118
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Their relationship has terminated, but their friendship still carried on.

119
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there was plans that you write about too

120
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 2>as well, because they were close friends. And despite the

121
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>relationship with Jason, he still expressed and they made plans

122
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>to call each other.

123
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 4>When Jeff had gone to the club with the other

124
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 4>group of.

125
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>People, Amy and Jason and friends, and when Amy was

126
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>going to be dropped off by Jason and go home

127
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>for the night she had Jeff had expressed to her

128
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 3>that he would like her to call just to check

129
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>in well, no matter what time she got in, and

130
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 3>that call never came. Once she left the club, things

131
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 3>went downhill rather quickly.

132
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Now with this book, you introduced these other characters and

133
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>have this meanwhile moment. While these kids basically are enjoying themselves.

134
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>They like dancing, and they love music, and they have

135
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>quite a few friends, and they're just straight good kids

136
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>with the lives and careers ahead of them. Meanwhile, you

137
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>introduce Gregory flu and Kenneth Day. Now these guys are roommates,

138
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 2>and you described in the book the kind of room

139
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>that these guys share and the kind of people. They

140
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 2>were going out that evening to play some pool, you say,

141
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>but they brought a gun. Uh, tell us a little

142
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>bit about Gregory Floyd and Kenneth's Day and their living

143
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>conditions and what they were doing that evening.

144
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, just to get back to Jason and Amy for

145
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 3>one second. When I when you just said that they were,

146
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, everyday good kids. I can't reiterate enough on

147
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 3>just how good these kids were. They were you know,

<v Speaker 3>Recently been released from it's called the ACI, which is

155
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 3>the Adult Correctional Institution, which is our prison here in

156
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Rhode Island. He had served a short time, a couple

157
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 3>of months if I recall, and when he got out

158
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 3>he moved in with kenned Day. Kenned Day and Floyd.

159
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 3>They lived in a place that was like absolute squalor.

160
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 3>It was you know, a place that makes your skin

161
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>crawl when you walk in and walk out, and it

162
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 3>was just like like a nightmaretal too even fathom how

163
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 3>anybody would want to live in those conditions.

164
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Right now, you talk about these two guys downtown and

165
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>one of them has a gun, and they talk about

166
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>seeing a guy named that they call a custy, which

167
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>somebody's looking for drugs. So tell us what they encounter,

168
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 2>what their plan is that's cooked up seemingly spontaneously or

169
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>on the fly here, tell us about that.

170
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, on the fly is definitely a key term. They

171
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 3>did not truly have a plan formulated throughout the entire night.

172
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 4>However, kenned Day was down.

173
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 3>When we call it down city, that's the terminology we

174
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 3>use for Providence. Even if you live in the city

175
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 3>of Providence, you're going down into the heart of the city.

176
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Kenned Day had.

177
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Been at a local pool wall and he was a

178
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 3>we're or dealer type of person. And if he could

179
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 3>make a buck in any way, shape or form, he

180
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.799
<v Speaker 3>would make a buck. And when I say that, if

181
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 3>it was whether it's robbing somebody, whether it was trying

182
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 3>to sell drugs to somebody. In this particular incident, when

183
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 3>he was at the pool hall, someone had approached about

184
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 3>buying drugs or selling drugs and had flashed around some

185
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 3>money and which peaked Kennan Day's interest big time. So

186
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 3>he had got a hold of Floyd and said, Floyd,

187
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 3>get down to the city. The city's hot rate. Now

188
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 3>I got a cussy that I'm looking to rob and

189
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 3>he's close by, so bring your gun, which Floyd did.

190
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Right now. What are the circumstances where they hook up

191
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>with Burdick and Samuel Sanchez and Raymond Anderson tell us

192
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>about that.

193
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 3>All pretty interesting. Burdick was a person that was known

194
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 3>in the city of Providence. He was a heavy as

195
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 3>set kid that he would hang up and near the

196
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Brown University, which is well renowned elite school, but he

197
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.039
<v Speaker 3>would hang around that area. He would purchase drugs around

198
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 3>that area.

199
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 4>And he was.

200
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 3>Actually waiting at a bus stop to go home to Patucket,

201
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 3>which is adjacent to Providence. Floyd and kenned Day had

202
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 3>hooked up with Anderson and Sammy Sanchez, so they were

203
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 3>riding around city, uh and they happened to see Burdick

204
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 3>at the bus stop. Floyd knew Burdick from hanging down

205
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.759
<v Speaker 3>in Providence. They pull over and Floyd says, hey, come

206
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 3>on the cities. You know, basically, the city's hot tonight.

207
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of students in the city on Thursday nights,

208
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 3>most of the college uh the several colleges in the

209
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 3>state of Arouel and several in the city area.

210
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 4>The kids go.

211
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Down on a Thursday night and it seems to be

212
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 3>a big college night where they're all are dancing, walking around.

213
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 4>So there's a.

214
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Vast amount of people, a vast amount of targets in

215
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 3>the guys of kenned Day and company. So once they

216
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 3>the five collectively got together, their mindset became one, and

217
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 3>their one mindset was to go out and find someone

218
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 3>they could rob.

219
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 4>So that's what they did.

220
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 3>After they picked up Burick at the bus stop, was

221
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 3>right around the city looking for a target to rob.

222
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>You right that Burdick steals some Latex gloves and meanwhile

223
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 2>you talk about Jason and Amy. The club ends closes

224
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 2>at one o'clock and as we spoke, Amy is expecting

225
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>a call, maybe a two or two thirty So after

226
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the club and with their friends, what happens with Amy

227
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and Jason and how do they get separated with their

228
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>friends and what do they do after that club?

229
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, Burdick and Floyd have frequented these pizza establishment. They

230
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 3>used to help the owner of the pizza Saki's Pizza.

231
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.919
<v Speaker 3>They used to help the owner unload trucks and did

232
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 3>meaningless jobs around the pizza place, and in turn, the

233
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 3>owner would give them.

234
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Free pizza, etc.

235
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 3>So it wasn't uncommon for them to be inside the

236
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.399
<v Speaker 3>pizza up place at all given hours. It was one

237
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 3>of these establishers that was open till like four or

238
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 3>five o'clock in the morning. So when they happened to

239
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 3>walk into this Saki's Pizza, they made a beeline for

240
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 3>the kitchen area and they went right to the latex gloves.

241
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 3>They grabbed the gloves and they passed them out amongst

242
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 3>the five of them. So right there in my mind,

243
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 3>it's telling me that a plan is really starting to

244
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 3>kick emotion that if they do something elicit, they're going

245
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>to do it where they're not going to leave evidence

246
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 3>behind such as a fingerprint. Now, what had happened when

247
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Jason and Amy went to the nightclub. Prior to going

248
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 3>to the nightclub to dance, they went to a like

249
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 3>a barroom, pool hall kind of place and their other

250
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 3>friends from Massachusetts. It was agreed upon that they would

251
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:21.519
<v Speaker 3>meet at this place called Tommy's Place. They met there,

252
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 3>they played some pool, etc. And then they left their

253
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 3>car at the Tommy's Place and went to this other nightclub.

254
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 3>Once that nightclub let out for the night, they went

255
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 3>back to Tommy's places. Their friends left, so that left

256
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Jason and Amy alone in the parking lot, so they

257
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 3>didn't want the night to end. They just sat outside

258
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 3>of Jason's vehicle and.

259
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 4>They were listening to music for as kids do.

260
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 3>And they were just hanging out bothering nobody at this

261
00:16:53.360 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 3>particular time except Floyd and Day and Sammy Sanchez and

262
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:02.679
<v Speaker 3>Ray Anderson.

263
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.440
<v Speaker 4>And Harry Burdick.

264
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 3>They had their own ideas of having a good time

265
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 3>and that was ultimately to rob somebody and their entire

266
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 3>night instead of being like normal you know, teenage the

267
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.039
<v Speaker 3>early twenty year olds enjoying a nightclub scene. They were

268
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker 3>riding around the entire down City area looking to rob

269
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 3>somebody and they would pick out various targets and for

270
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 3>whatever reason, their their attempts would fail. I mean, they

271
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 3>only made one actual attempt to rob somebody when they

272
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 3>surrounded somebody at a ATM machine and a security guard

273
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 3>happened to intervene, and that that had failed for them.

274
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 3>So they ultimate bow that night was to set out

275
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 3>to make an easy book.

276
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Now you write that you find out later, much later,

277
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>that they already spotted Jason's vehicle, a white Ford Explorer,

278
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>And then you say that this crew of five spotted

279
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 2>the Explorer again.

280
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, when they were when go ahead, good, oh, go ahead?

281
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:27.359
<v Speaker 3>When when flighting Company had been riding around down City

282
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 3>looking for various targets.

283
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.599
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't really painting out.

284
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:39.039
<v Speaker 3>So Burdick, Harry Burdick said to Floyd and Sammy Sanchez,

285
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 3>who was was Sammy Sanchez's car. He said, hey, look,

286
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, just just get me back to Patucket.

287
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 4>I want to go home.

288
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.640
<v Speaker 3>And Sammy Sanchez basically told him it's not happening. I'm

289
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.400
<v Speaker 3>not driving me to Patucket. You want to get home,

290
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:59.640
<v Speaker 3>you go steal a car. Now, they had spotted Jason

291
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 3>and he me hanging outside that car listening to music,

292
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 3>but they had seen them earlier, so they circle around

293
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.200
<v Speaker 3>back around the city.

294
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 4>They park on a side street.

295
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.480
<v Speaker 3>This is Floyd and Burdick in company, and it was

296
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 3>that that time a plan was formulated.

297
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.279
<v Speaker 4>By Floyd and Verdick. Verdick said, I'll go rob that

298
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.440
<v Speaker 4>car and I'll drive home.

299
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 3>So was at that time that Berdick and Floyd exited

300
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Seamy Sanchez's car, walked through an alleyway and walked up

301
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 3>to Jason and Amy and at gunpoint pull Both of

302
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 3>them were taking your car, but get in it first.

303
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 3>So in essence, they conjacked Jason and Amy at that point.

304
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Horrifyingly enough, well horrifyingly you write that a patrol officer

305
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>had spotted Jason and Amy at some point tell us

306
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 2>about this close brush with that didn't avoid or these

307
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>people didn't avoid this calamity. But the police were very

308
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.759
<v Speaker 2>close in proximity.

309
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 3>But when I say close to proximity, it was so

310
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.559
<v Speaker 3>close that you know, Amy could have reached out or

311
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:25.240
<v Speaker 3>yelled out or done whatever and said help me. The

312
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.200
<v Speaker 3>patrol officer was probably a couple hundred feet away, or

313
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe I would have been more than that. He had

314
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 3>watched when Floyd and Burdick put Amy and Jason into

315
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Jason's vehicle. Floyd was in the driver's seat at this time.

316
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Jason and Amy were in the backseat and Harry Burdick

317
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 3>was in the passenger in front passenger seat, and Harry

318
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 3>Burdick had the gun faced on Jason and Amy. Floyd

319
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 3>drives Jason's car out the wrong way of a one

320
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 3>way street. It was a short alley way, but it

321
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 3>was still a weird way and it was still you know,

322
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 3>indicated it was one way. And when Floyd came driving

323
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 3>out the wrong way on a one way street, this

324
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 3>was observed by this officer at the time, and he

325
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 3>did nothing. The officer never stopped him. He just looked

326
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 3>at him and Floyd continued on his way. Yeah, so

327
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:32.400
<v Speaker 3>horrifying the uh, Danny and Jason, it was just horrifying

328
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.519
<v Speaker 3>knowing that you know, they're looking at the police and

329
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 3>you know potentially they could have been saved at that point,

330
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 3>and you know nothing was done.

331
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Now back with Amy and Jason, how aware or

332
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>not aware of the situation are they? What are the

333
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.599
<v Speaker 2>perps Floyd and Verdicts saying to these two people about

334
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 2>their future? Basically, what were they saying? What was Amy asking?

335
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 2>What were these guys saying to this couple.

336
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Amy was.

337
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 3>Asking basically what you know, what's gonna happen with us?

338
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And and Floyd was trying to calm her down, saying,

339
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 3>we're just going to go.

340
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 4>For a ride. Uh, you know, We're gonna ride around

341
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 4>the city.

342
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:24.319
<v Speaker 3>And he started getting into a like attempting to get

343
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 3>into a normal conversation with Amy, like you know, where.

344
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 4>Do you go to school? What do you do now?

345
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.279
<v Speaker 3>And you're trying to engage her in a conversation, which,

346
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, how would one person respond to that when

347
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 3>being held at gunpoint and here's a person trying to

348
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:44.440
<v Speaker 3>talk to you in a normal sense, and when everything

349
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 3>was as abnormal as could be. And they once they

350
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 3>drove out that alleyway, they were then Sammy Sanchez in

351
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 3>his car which still contains Sammy Sanchez, Ray Anderson, and

352
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 3>Kenned Day. They dropped in behind Floyd, who was now

353
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 3>driving Jason's vehicle. They just dropped in behind him and

354
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 3>started following him around city. So his Floyd, Burdick, Jason

355
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 3>and Amy in one car, the other three individuals in

356
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 3>their car, and they were just driving around, following each

357
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:30.240
<v Speaker 3>other until ultimately they they got tired of being got

358
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 3>tired of driving around the city, and that's when Sammy

359
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Sanchez really kicked it in motion.

379
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 2>You write about what they initially asked this. Of course,

380
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>these guys are looking for money. So they did try

381
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:51.480
<v Speaker 2>in their primitive plan to to look at people or

382
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>target people that might have money. So the question was

383
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>they asked these people about money. How much money did

384
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Amy and Jason and have. What happens with that request.

385
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, that that comes a little bit later. Once Sanchez,

386
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 3>driving his vehicle, said to Floyd, follow me, I know

387
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.079
<v Speaker 3>where to go, and that that place that he took

388
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 3>them to was the golf Cost that was under construction.

389
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 3>So once they got to that golf Cost, that's when

390
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the really started ramping it up, saying, give us your money,

391
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 3>give us whatever you've got, whether it be jewelry, whether

392
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.680
<v Speaker 3>it be credit cards, whether whatever it was, anything of

393
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.359
<v Speaker 3>any type of intrinsic value they were going to take.

394
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 3>And and Amy and Jason at that point were saying,

395
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 3>we'll give you everything we have. We only have, you know,

396
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.279
<v Speaker 3>so much money, Take the car and take our money

397
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 3>and just leave us, please, and we'll never report the

398
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 3>cost only never call the police, but just leave us

399
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 3>and take whatever we can give you. And that dollar

400
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 3>amount that ultimately Floyd in Company succeeded in getting from

401
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Amy and Jason was a grand total of eighteen dollars.

402
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, Who initiates the conversation about that they could identify

403
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>them and so they must die. Who does that?

404
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:28.000
<v Speaker 4>That was Kenned Day.

405
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 3>And Kenneth Day, although he did not pull the trigger,

406
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 3>he was, in my estimation, probably one of the most

407
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.440
<v Speaker 3>evil people I've ever met, and he was the catalysts

408
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 3>behind them when I say them collectively, Floyd Berdick, Anderson,

409
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Sanchez and Day killing Jason and Amy and Kenneth Day

410
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 3>had indicated to Floyd that we have to kill them.

411
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 3>They saw our faces and he had been trying to

412
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 3>shield his face when they were driving around, and when

413
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:11.079
<v Speaker 3>they when Sanchez drove up and was side by side

414
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 3>with with Floyd, and when Floyd was driving Jason's car,

415
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 3>he put his hand over his face to try to

416
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 3>obscure his the view that they would have had of him.

417
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:27.559
<v Speaker 3>And then he said, let's, uh, let's kill him. They

418
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:29.839
<v Speaker 3>saw us.

419
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 2>You're right about Kenneth Day. When they realized again in

420
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 2>their twisted logic that these people must die, then there

421
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.160
<v Speaker 2>was a statement about, well, what the hell what did

422
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.839
<v Speaker 2>they say about regarding Amy and what was what were

423
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the plans and what happened with those plans with Amy?

424
00:27:52.200 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, Kenneth Day and Ray and and we're sitting.

425
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:10.079
<v Speaker 3>They remained inside the Fort Explorer when they told Jason

426
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:11.759
<v Speaker 3>to get to get out of the car. When they

427
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 3>pulled down inside this golf course area, they said get

428
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 3>out of the car and they left Amy in the car.

429
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Kenned Day started telling Amy that he wanted sexual favors

430
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 3>from her and if she did fulfill those he would

431
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.200
<v Speaker 3>basically help her out in some way up for him.

432
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.880
<v Speaker 3>And by helping her out, he was, you know, making

433
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 3>overtures that he would have spare her a life.

434
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 4>And she had.

435
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.920
<v Speaker 3>She had told him straight out, she said, listen, please,

436
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 3>don't do don't do anything to me.

437
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:57.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm pregnant. And that kind of stopped the whole process.

438
00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 4>So she.

439
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 3>She was not pregnant. She just told him that she was.

440
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 3>And at that time nothing, nothing occurred, No sexual assault occurred.

441
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:18.759
<v Speaker 2>You right, that one of these unconscionable killers had something

442
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to say about these guys sexually assaulting Amy though.

443
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, ironically, and I don't know what I want to call it, ironically,

444
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:37.039
<v Speaker 3>for a fleeting moment, Greg Floyd, who was I don't

445
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 3>want to say he was the master mind behind this

446
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 3>whole process, but he was the one who he was

447
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 3>the one who took the gun through the scene, and

448
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:51.799
<v Speaker 3>he at that time told both tennant Day and ray

449
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Anderson leave her alone, don't touch her. And I actually

450
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.720
<v Speaker 3>asked Floyd that at once once he was brought the custody.

451
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, you were there, you had the gun, you

452
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 3>were in charge, you're in control. You stopped the sexual

453
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.839
<v Speaker 3>assault upon Amy, but then you follow through with ultimately

454
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the murder of them. Yeah, which is it's hard to

455
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.119
<v Speaker 3>fathom not and it really truly is. Well, all I

456
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 3>envision was hair, two innocent kids pleading for their lives,

457
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, and at the after pleading for their lives,

458
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, then they want to introduce a sexual assault

459
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.119
<v Speaker 3>to her, and Floyd stops it.

460
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 4>And when I just asked them, is they like just

461
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.640
<v Speaker 4>it blew me away?

462
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.519
<v Speaker 3>Like how could you stop one thing and carry through

463
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.480
<v Speaker 3>on the most egregious act that you could commit on somebody?

464
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, And with this too, you talk about Harry

465
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Burdick at this point says I'm out of here. What

466
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 2>happens when this guy tries to get away from these

467
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>guys who was in his corner and who isn't And well,

468
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>what are they accusing him of potentially well.

469
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Harry Burdick was friends with Greg Floyd, and what had

470
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:24.240
<v Speaker 3>happened was he suddenly got a case of the guilts

471
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:26.759
<v Speaker 3>and said when they were down inside the golf course

472
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:31.759
<v Speaker 3>and they had Jason and Amy out of the vehicle,

473
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 3>leaning up against bales of hay, sitting on the ground,

474
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 3>and they were kids were yelling back and forth Floyd

475
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:46.319
<v Speaker 3>and company about murdering this innocent couple. Harry Burdick basically said,

476
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't want no part of this, and

477
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 3>he started walking away. He said, listen, I'm leaving. At

478
00:31:53.880 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 3>that point, Sammy Sanchez said to Greg Floyd basically and

479
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.480
<v Speaker 3>then in this vernacular, he's your boy, go get him

480
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 3>or I'm gonna kill him. And that's when Floyd and

481
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 3>put Jason and Amy back inside the Fort Explorer. And

482
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 3>now at this time, there's like seven of them in

483
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 3>this vehicle attached to the vehicle, and they're riding up

484
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.359
<v Speaker 3>the hill trying to get a hold of Harry Burdick,

485
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 3>and they said, Harry, get back down here, and they

486
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:33.200
<v Speaker 3>drove back downside the golf course once again had Jason

487
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 3>and Amy sitting against bales of.

488
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Hay, and.

489
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.200
<v Speaker 4>That's when things really went bad.

490
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Now what do Amy and Jason think? I know you're right.

491
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Jason is reassuring Amy that everything will be okay. She

492
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been sexually assaulted. What happens next with this group

493
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.279
<v Speaker 2>of five and Amy and Jason.

494
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Just just to give you a vision of how despairing

495
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:17.440
<v Speaker 3>this moment was. Amy is sitting at clutching Jason and

496
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 3>he's trying to reassure her as they're pleading with these

497
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.359
<v Speaker 3>five individuals, leave us alone, let us go. We won't

498
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 3>report the cost stolen. We gave you our money, everything

499
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:36.119
<v Speaker 3>we've had, and he was trying to put his you know,

500
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 3>put his best word forward to these individuals, saying, please

501
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 3>leave us alone, Amy, this is gonna be okay. Basically,

502
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm your protector, I'm your boyfriend. I'm going to help you.

503
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Whether it be in words or in actions at that

504
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:57.000
<v Speaker 3>particular moment, I'll never know. But ultimately, once these five

505
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.079
<v Speaker 3>individuals that are standing before them, you know, with the

506
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, several feet in front of them, and Floyd's

507
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 3>got the gun in his hand, and they're yelling back

508
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.639
<v Speaker 3>and forth, and Kenneth Day is really ramping things up,

509
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 3>saying you got to kill him.

510
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 4>You got to kill him.

511
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 3>And Sammy Sanchez turns and says to Floyd, if you

512
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 3>don't kill them, I will, And then Floyd was at

513
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 3>that point said listen, stop and wrapped over. And you know,

514
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 3>again the kids are looking up, they're fleading for their

515
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 3>life and just for that moment prior to the actual

516
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:32.480
<v Speaker 3>and then this was an execution.

517
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 4>That's what it came down to.

518
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:38.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're looking at this individual and he's covering

519
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 3>that short distance and span from them, and they're looking

520
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.599
<v Speaker 3>at him knowing that at this point their.

521
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:50.519
<v Speaker 4>Lives are over. So Floyd shoots Jason.

522
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 3>And now, you know, I'm trying to think of the

523
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 3>mindset of Amy, who was either she was alive for

524
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.920
<v Speaker 3>a fleeting second, for a minut we do not know,

525
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 3>but she was alive long enough to see her boyfriend

526
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 3>execute it, and just the powers in her mind at

527
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:15.400
<v Speaker 3>that point knowing that she's going to be next, and

528
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:16.440
<v Speaker 3>ultimately she was.

529
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Incredible. Let's use this as an opportunity to stop for

530
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>a second to talk about our sponsor, which is Broomate.

531
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Don't you just love warm alcohol? Well neither did Dylan,

532
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the founder of Broommate, that's why he made it. Broommate's

533
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>mission to shake up the beverage industry for the better.

534
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Broommate's stylish insulated drink wear is designed to keep your

535
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.039
<v Speaker 2>favorite beverages ice cold all day long. Whatever your tastes

537
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>is the perfect temperature. My wife and I used again

538
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:58.760
<v Speaker 2>our wine slator and two uncorked extra large wineglasses that

539
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 2>we had got from Broommate. We chose it in the

540
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 2>glitter rose gold color. My wife Lisa loved the color

541
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.079
<v Speaker 2>and design. We went out on a Sunday. It was

542
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.360
<v Speaker 2>another beautiful day and we decided to go to the marina,

543
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>bought some food and our broommate wine slater and our

544
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.199
<v Speaker 2>two uncorked extra large wineglasses. A broommate has some lining

545
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>in the wine slater so doesn't have any metallic taste.

546
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Our wine stayed cold and refreshing and delicious all day.

547
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 2>The glasses were perfect and the wine slator and the

548
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:37.559
<v Speaker 2>glasses looked great. If it's a full bottle of wine,

549
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:41.079
<v Speaker 2>includes a silicone funnel for either easy transferring. The wine

550
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:44.519
<v Speaker 2>slator maintains the perfect temperature for over twenty four hours.

564
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:47.760
<v Speaker 2>of the last minutes of Jason and Amy's lives. What

565
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.360
<v Speaker 2>do the five perpetrators do? What is their plan now

566
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that they've killed? Tell us what happens next with the

567
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:01.840
<v Speaker 2>five before we talk about what happens with the discovery

568
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:06.639
<v Speaker 2>and the investigation that's soon underway.

569
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, the five individuals just left Jason and Amy for

570
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 3>dead in a golf course, got inside Jason's Fort Explorer,

571
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:25.079
<v Speaker 3>divvied up some change and some cash that they had

572
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker 3>found in the Fort Explorer. And when I say divvied up,

573
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 3>they went to a gas station nearby in the city

574
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 3>of Providence and they put nine dollars in gas in

575
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:46.920
<v Speaker 3>each of the vehicles, that being Sanchez's car and Jason's car.

576
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 3>So they ultimately they got eighteen dollars, but it was

577
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 3>eighteen dollars spent on gasoline. So you say about was

578
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.639
<v Speaker 3>stuffed out for eighteen dollars, You.

579
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Right about that there was a plan for another crime

580
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.800
<v Speaker 2>using the vehicle. Tell us what that was, and then

581
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:14.079
<v Speaker 2>who was assigned the vehicle and what were they told

582
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.599
<v Speaker 2>to do with it.

583
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 3>Foyd was in charge of the vehicle, and there had

584
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.960
<v Speaker 3>been some talk that the following day they were going

585
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:29.519
<v Speaker 3>to use that vehicle, uh to rob something else. But

586
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Floyd said, well, I'll keep the vehicle close by to

587
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 3>his his house, and he had kept it overnight and

588
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:45.239
<v Speaker 3>the following day drove around with this car that you

589
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.639
<v Speaker 3>know he killed somebody for like it was his own vehicle,

590
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 3>his own personal pleasure vehicle. He had the keys to it,

591
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.159
<v Speaker 3>and he used it at will.

592
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Now you read about that there was a few of

593
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:07.480
<v Speaker 2>these perpetrators had girlfriends and people in their lives, and

594
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 2>they made comments and other people made tell us about

595
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.079
<v Speaker 2>some of the things that were said initially and to.

596
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Who, well, there are some bragging, uh bragging rights by

597
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:29.239
<v Speaker 5>both Ray Anderson, Kenneth Day, even Floyd, who was talking

598
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 5>to his girlfriend about what had transpired the night before,

599
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.280
<v Speaker 5>and it was saying how bad they were, and bad

600
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:38.440
<v Speaker 5>in a sense of you know, look at me, I'm

601
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:39.079
<v Speaker 5>a tough guy.

602
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:40.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm a murderer.

603
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm on top of the world in the small,

604
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 3>demented kind of world that they lived in. These are people,

605
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:54.239
<v Speaker 3>strictly street people with the value of life. The value

606
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:58.559
<v Speaker 3>of people's property holds nothing to them. So if they

607
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:02.000
<v Speaker 3>bragged about a murder to a friend and a friend

608
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.639
<v Speaker 3>listen to that story. The friends that they had were

609
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:09.599
<v Speaker 3>not the normal type friends that the normal type person

610
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:12.079
<v Speaker 3>would have. You know, they didn't nobody reached out and

611
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:17.440
<v Speaker 3>called the police and said, hey, Jason was killed last night,

612
00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:21.440
<v Speaker 3>and and Greg Floyd told me about it, or Kennant

613
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Day told me about it. They did they they didn't

614
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:26.280
<v Speaker 3>have that type of conscience.

615
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:27.920
<v Speaker 5>M hmm.

616
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, tell us about your involvement with this investigation. It's

617
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 2>right after this discovery of the bodies. What can you determine,

618
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.599
<v Speaker 2>you and your team from the crime scene itself, What

619
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of evidence do you have to go from there?

620
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 2>And how do you proceed.

621
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 4>Well.

622
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:56.199
<v Speaker 3>Originally, this golf course was under construction, as I said earlier,

623
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.920
<v Speaker 3>and the one of the maintenance men that was the

624
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.000
<v Speaker 3>like the supervisor of the golf course, had observed off

625
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.320
<v Speaker 3>in the distance what he perceived to be bags of garbage. Again,

626
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:11.400
<v Speaker 3>this is a kind of a secluded area. Half the

627
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 3>golf courses in Providence the other half of the golf

628
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:20.440
<v Speaker 3>courses in Johnston. When ultimately around lunchtime, the groundskeeper drove

629
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:23.400
<v Speaker 3>up to pick up his so called bag of garbage,

630
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.199
<v Speaker 3>he realized that it saw a dead person. He thought

631
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.119
<v Speaker 3>it was a mannequin at first, but then he realized

632
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.440
<v Speaker 3>it was a dead person. And that's when he had

633
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 3>called nine to one one. The dispatch went to Providence,

634
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:40.559
<v Speaker 3>who responded to the scene first, but they also notified

635
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.239
<v Speaker 3>Johnston police because it was so close to the dividing

636
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:48.719
<v Speaker 3>line of the two cities and towns. I get down

637
00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:50.920
<v Speaker 3>to the scene, and I've been on the force for

638
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:53.360
<v Speaker 3>some time. At this point I knew where the dividing

639
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:56.800
<v Speaker 3>line was U and I walked in and I said, hey,

640
00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:00.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, guys, this is Johnston scene. We took over

641
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:06.880
<v Speaker 3>the investigation, and any investigation you need to number one,

642
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:09.519
<v Speaker 3>determine who these people are.

643
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:13.199
<v Speaker 4>These two people.

644
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Are someone's son, daughter, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, and we

645
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:22.559
<v Speaker 3>needed to find out who they are. And first and foremost,

646
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:28.480
<v Speaker 3>if we also had what type of crime scene we had,

647
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 3>whether the murdered suicide, was it a.

648
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Was it a drug induced overdose?

649
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Because there wasn't a tremendous amount of connage left by

650
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.960
<v Speaker 3>the gunshot wounds, it was kind of hard to determine

651
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.239
<v Speaker 3>what it was. And again, you try to keep an

652
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.280
<v Speaker 3>open mind on an investigation, and if you get tunnel

653
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:53.599
<v Speaker 3>vision it could definitely hamper the investigation. So we leave

654
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:57.360
<v Speaker 3>all options open. And then what we proceeded to do

655
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.079
<v Speaker 3>was stot canvas in the area for any type of

656
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.760
<v Speaker 3>evidence that may be left behind. There was no vehicle

657
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.119
<v Speaker 3>at the scene, but there were tie tracks leading up

658
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.199
<v Speaker 3>to Jason and Amy, so that indicated they had got

659
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 3>there somehow, some way, and most likely it was with

660
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:20.079
<v Speaker 3>a vehicle. But again those tracks could have been there

661
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 3>prior to them. We have to leave an open mind

662
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:30.880
<v Speaker 3>to all possible things that come our way.

663
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.840
<v Speaker 2>When you're investigating this crime. I know this might be

664
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:36.119
<v Speaker 2>out of chronological order, but while you're investigating this, there's

665
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:42.039
<v Speaker 2>a call comes to the police station. But again, construct

666
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 2>this this process for us up to that point where

667
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the call comes in and that information is added to

668
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:51.679
<v Speaker 2>what you do know.

669
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:55.239
<v Speaker 4>So far. Well.

670
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Once at the scene, as we're trying to determine who

671
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:03.840
<v Speaker 3>these individuals were, Jason and Amy, we had stopt canvas

672
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.800
<v Speaker 3>in the area and we had started expanding our canvas,

673
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:11.920
<v Speaker 3>our crime scene out and we locate a wallet, a

674
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:16.559
<v Speaker 3>female's wallet, several hundred feet away from the bodies. We

675
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:25.440
<v Speaker 3>started going through the wallet and there is different credit cards,

676
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:30.880
<v Speaker 3>et cetera with Amy's name on it. We now have

677
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:35.440
<v Speaker 3>a tentative identification of who Amy is, but we still

678
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:40.519
<v Speaker 3>needed a positive identification. That was from the medical Examiner's

679
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.239
<v Speaker 3>office at the time. The Emmy, the medical examer, he'd

680
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.920
<v Speaker 3>come out to the scene because in Rhode Island, and

681
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how, I can't speak for the States,

682
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:56.400
<v Speaker 3>they have control of the scene when this body is involved.

683
00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:59.039
<v Speaker 3>And then they released the scene back to us at

684
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:04.960
<v Speaker 3>to investigate. So we needed to determine who these individuals were.

685
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:05.920
<v Speaker 4>That was done.

686
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:11.199
<v Speaker 3>A positive identification of Amy was made by Amy's mom

687
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 3>and her boyfriend, which just to make the notification to

688
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.679
<v Speaker 3>the families is one of the hottest tasks that has

689
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.880
<v Speaker 3>ever put upon a police officer. There's no training for

690
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.760
<v Speaker 3>that and it is the worst thing. And to this day,

691
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:27.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, it gives me a not in my stomach

692
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:30.199
<v Speaker 3>knowing that, you know, you have to walk up to

693
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 3>people you don't know to know at all, knock on

694
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:36.960
<v Speaker 3>their door and say, you know, are you the parents

695
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.840
<v Speaker 3>of and can you come and identify your child? They've

696
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:44.840
<v Speaker 3>been a victim of a murder and it was just

697
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 3>just it's burned him into my brain. It's just horrific.

698
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 3>But getting back to the investigation, once we have the

699
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.960
<v Speaker 3>kids identified and we have Jason's dad telling us, you know,

700
00:46:58.239 --> 00:46:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Jason had a Ford Explorer.

701
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:00.719
<v Speaker 4>Where is it?

702
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.000
<v Speaker 3>He gives us the license plate on the Ford Explorer.

703
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.239
<v Speaker 3>We put out a bolo or be on the lookout

704
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:13.559
<v Speaker 3>for his vehicle. Ultimately it stopped in the city of

705
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:19.039
<v Speaker 3>Providence at the time a patrolman, Jan Carella, and in

706
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:23.239
<v Speaker 3>the inside the vehicle. It was being driven by Greg Floyd.

707
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Johnston Roe Alan Police Department, myself and several other detectives

708
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 3>respond to the scene in Providence. We take Greg Floyd

709
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.440
<v Speaker 3>back into our custody at this time to speak to

710
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:41.239
<v Speaker 3>him about why he has Jason's vehicle. As we're speaking

711
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:46.039
<v Speaker 3>to Jason, as excuse me, as we're speaking to Greg Floyd,

712
00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:51.039
<v Speaker 3>we receive a phone call at the police station from

713
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:57.360
<v Speaker 3>a person identify himself as Harry Burdick. Harry Burdick informs

714
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.119
<v Speaker 3>one of the detectives over the phone that while watching

715
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:09.679
<v Speaker 3>the ten o'clock news he learned about that the Justin

716
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.400
<v Speaker 3>police were investigating the murders of the two individuals at

717
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:15.079
<v Speaker 3>the golf course.

718
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Harry tells us he knows.

719
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:21.679
<v Speaker 3>About the scene and is he in trouble, And so

720
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.400
<v Speaker 3>we tell Harry, listen, we don't know what story you're

721
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:26.719
<v Speaker 3>gonna tell us, but police come to the police station.

722
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.639
<v Speaker 3>So whatever information you may have, we can stop using

723
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.880
<v Speaker 3>that as evidence or helping us go forward with our investigations.

724
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Not so much evidence. I now had left Greg Floyd

725
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:47.599
<v Speaker 3>in the interview room by himself. After talking to the

726
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:50.639
<v Speaker 3>detectives who spoke to Harry I walked back into the

727
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.159
<v Speaker 3>interview room and I had told Greg Floyd. I said, Greg,

728
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.280
<v Speaker 3>we got a problem here. The story that you told

729
00:48:58.320 --> 00:48:59.320
<v Speaker 3>me in the beginning.

730
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:01.519
<v Speaker 4>How you know you.

731
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Had nothing to do with the car you were trying.

732
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:07.440
<v Speaker 3>You were buying that Ford Explorer, which belonged to Jason.

733
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.400
<v Speaker 3>You were buying it from some lady that you knew

734
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:14.519
<v Speaker 3>vaguely and couldn't give a description of, and you met

735
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:17.719
<v Speaker 3>her down at Saki's Pizza. I said, that story's not

736
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna hold anything. As I said to him, as a

737
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:24.239
<v Speaker 3>matter of fact, I have an eyewitness that's coming into

738
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.159
<v Speaker 3>the station that's going to tell me that you were

739
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:30.760
<v Speaker 3>at the scene. I never learned that from Verdict, but

740
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.119
<v Speaker 3>I used it. And at that time Floyd looked at

741
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:38.840
<v Speaker 3>me and in all seriousness, he said to me, Detective

742
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:42.719
<v Speaker 3>that there couldn't have been There were no witnesses. So

743
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:47.039
<v Speaker 3>he just implicated himself big time. And you know, I

744
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 3>always said, thank God, there are you know, dumb criminals

745
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.639
<v Speaker 3>out there, and this was probably one of the most

746
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.119
<v Speaker 3>profane of the dumbest, because to make a statement like that,

747
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.800
<v Speaker 3>he was just I don't know what he's thinking. So

748
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:07.000
<v Speaker 3>that really started moving our investigations with throw it at

749
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:12.239
<v Speaker 3>a more rapid speed, Burdick comes in. Ultimately, Burdick's story was,

750
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:15.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, he was just along for the ride. He

751
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:18.679
<v Speaker 3>had nothing to do with this. He actually tried to

752
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:23.320
<v Speaker 3>stop the murder and he started walking away, And I

753
00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:24.000
<v Speaker 3>want to know.

754
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:24.679
<v Speaker 4>Part of that.

755
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:27.039
<v Speaker 3>That was the only part of the whole story that

756
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 3>he told us was the truth that yes, he was

757
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:32.599
<v Speaker 3>trying to walk away, but he was going to be

758
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.519
<v Speaker 3>murdered by Sammy Sanchez.

759
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:36.360
<v Speaker 4>That was truth.

760
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:44.840
<v Speaker 2>So what is the situation with the death penalty in

761
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island and the big issue of federal death penalty,

762
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:57.400
<v Speaker 2>possibility of prosecution and how this crime and these criminals

763
00:50:57.400 --> 00:50:59.239
<v Speaker 2>would qualify. Tell us about that.

764
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Rhere Island doesn't have a death penalty statue, however, the

765
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:12.840
<v Speaker 3>federal government does. And because this was a kajacking murder

766
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:19.920
<v Speaker 3>with a high powered, high powered weapon involved, that's where

767
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.719
<v Speaker 3>the federal government kicked it in because of the kidnapping

768
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:30.039
<v Speaker 3>kajacking and ultimately the government has on their books the

769
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.119
<v Speaker 3>death penalty phase and because Rhode Island didn't have it.

770
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:39.039
<v Speaker 3>The people of Rhode Island were so outraged at this

771
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:45.159
<v Speaker 3>murder that they they wanted upon the flesh from these individuals.

772
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.840
<v Speaker 3>So we attempted to use the federal statue so we

773
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.519
<v Speaker 3>could actually get the death penalty. But it's a petition process.

774
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:55.719
<v Speaker 3>It's not just like we show up at the federal

775
00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:58.559
<v Speaker 3>government and say, you know you, these people are guilty

776
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:00.800
<v Speaker 3>put in the death and it just doesn't happen like that.

777
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Now, with this initiative to try to have these people

778
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:16.119
<v Speaker 2>executed in Rhode Island, you provide a lot of statistics

779
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:19.199
<v Speaker 2>in your book as well about when was the last

780
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.880
<v Speaker 2>time somebody was executed in Rhode Island, but also this

781
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the murders and compared to executions as well. Can you

782
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:32.519
<v Speaker 2>tell us about a couple of those fascinating statistics that

783
00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you put in this book to bolster some of your

784
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess claims and arguments in here.

785
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, the last time someone has been put to death

786
00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:49.559
<v Speaker 3>and Rhode Island was like decades ago, and it had

787
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:55.199
<v Speaker 3>been tossed back and forth between the legislature about putting

788
00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:59.480
<v Speaker 3>it back on the books, as you know, a part

789
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:03.079
<v Speaker 3>of the sentencing for something so egregious as an execution,

790
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:07.559
<v Speaker 3>but it was not on the books that at that time.

791
00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:10.159
<v Speaker 3>So therefore that's why we went to the federal government.

792
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:16.559
<v Speaker 3>Statistics they always show a story of why things happened

793
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:19.199
<v Speaker 3>or when things happened and what you could do with them.

794
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:24.599
<v Speaker 3>But statistics did not save these two individuals. So we

795
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 3>were going to use everything at our power to do

796
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.559
<v Speaker 3>what we could to get our pound of flesh for

797
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:32.639
<v Speaker 3>this egregious act.

798
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:39.239
<v Speaker 2>What was the feeling of the families in their entirety,

799
00:53:39.320 --> 00:53:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the Bergersons and the Shoot families, in terms of their

800
00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:47.159
<v Speaker 2>desire for this, they.

801
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.639
<v Speaker 4>Were totally on board.

802
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Jason's sister Kelly started a petition drive and posted a

803
00:53:55.719 --> 00:54:00.039
<v Speaker 3>signature of boards and all the local markets throughout the

804
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:04.880
<v Speaker 3>mass in Rhode Island. Uh and and people really really

805
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:08.360
<v Speaker 3>really got up in arms that you know, just this

806
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:12.400
<v Speaker 3>was like, at the time, one of the most egregious acts.

807
00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:13.480
<v Speaker 4>That Rhode Island had.

808
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

809
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:17.320
<v Speaker 3>There has since been others, uh, but at that time

810
00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:22.760
<v Speaker 3>to open the Sunday uh Providence Journal, which is the

811
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:25.960
<v Speaker 3>major newspaper in Rhode Island, and on the front coat

812
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:31.039
<v Speaker 3>fold is these five individuals, and Kenneth Day is just staring.

813
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:33.880
<v Speaker 3>And when he's staring, he's staring like as like the

814
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:39.239
<v Speaker 3>devil's looking at you. And that grass that just took

815
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:42.639
<v Speaker 3>hold of people and they really were up in arms

816
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.280
<v Speaker 3>about it. Ultimately, the picture that was put in the

817
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:48.079
<v Speaker 3>paper of these five individuals being arraigned.

818
00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:52.000
<v Speaker 4>That led to other cases that were opened against them,

819
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:54.079
<v Speaker 4>and ultimately it was.

820
00:54:56.559 --> 00:54:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Day was convicted on another robbery he had committed prior

821
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to this quajacking murder, so it didn't as his close

822
00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:03.960
<v Speaker 3>up some.

823
00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Cases and it helped.

824
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:10.039
<v Speaker 3>But just to see that picture in the paper, it

825
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:15.320
<v Speaker 3>was it was hot wrenching to see these evil people.

826
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:21.079
<v Speaker 2>You write in a book about a individual named iron

827
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Nasberg and he had called the police station the day

828
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:29.920
<v Speaker 2>after the bodies were found. Why did he call? What

829
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:33.119
<v Speaker 2>did he have to say regarding this murder?

830
00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Weber Ironberg?

831
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:39.719
<v Speaker 3>He was a unique individual. He was a hanger on.

832
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:42.679
<v Speaker 3>And when I say a hanger on, he liked to

833
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.360
<v Speaker 3>be in the mix of like bad people, even though

834
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:48.079
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't a bad person himself. When I say bad,

835
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:51.400
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't a tough guy, he wasn't a murderer. He

836
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:55.559
<v Speaker 3>would basically do whatever these people Floyd and Company would

837
00:55:55.559 --> 00:56:01.440
<v Speaker 3>tell him to do. Nasberg had a clean record. He

838
00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:07.760
<v Speaker 3>ultimately we sought him out because when we ran the

839
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:11.880
<v Speaker 3>background check on the firearm that was used that we

840
00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:16.480
<v Speaker 3>recovered from Greg Floyd in kenned Day's room. We learned

841
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.840
<v Speaker 3>that it was purchased by Iris and Nasberg. Iron Ashberg

842
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:25.480
<v Speaker 3>reported several of his guns stolen throughout his life. We

843
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.639
<v Speaker 3>ended up tying Ira of Nashburg back to Greg Floyd

844
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:30.960
<v Speaker 3>as being a friend of Greg Floyd.

845
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:33.800
<v Speaker 4>And that was when.

846
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Iras said to me, yeah, I need to talk to you.

847
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Beyond me talking to him in the presence of his attorney,

848
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 3>he said, can I come in and talk to you?

849
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.280
<v Speaker 3>He did come to the police station on a Friday night.

850
00:56:48.599 --> 00:56:52.280
<v Speaker 3>We sat down. I said, listen, I can't talk to you.

851
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.280
<v Speaker 3>You've hired an attorney. And he said, I'm waiving all

852
00:56:55.320 --> 00:56:57.960
<v Speaker 3>my rights. I want to tell you a story, but

853
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:01.519
<v Speaker 3>how much time am I going to serve? I said, listen,

854
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:05.719
<v Speaker 3>that's way above my pay grade at this point. I

855
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:07.480
<v Speaker 3>will get a hold of the people at the US

856
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Attorney's office. You come back in on Monday. We let's

857
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:14.360
<v Speaker 3>all sit down and we'll see what we can hammer out,

858
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:16.559
<v Speaker 3>what kind of deal they may or may not be

859
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:23.679
<v Speaker 3>able to get. And ultimately Iran never came back on Monday,

860
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:27.199
<v Speaker 3>and we learned that over the weekend he had passed away.

861
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:30.760
<v Speaker 3>But Ira definitely like to be in the mix of

862
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:34.360
<v Speaker 3>bad people, and he was like an easy target because

863
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:36.800
<v Speaker 3>they could just at will tell him to do certain

864
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:37.960
<v Speaker 3>things and he would do it.

865
00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:46.599
<v Speaker 2>You're right about the again, the process that would get

866
00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:52.159
<v Speaker 2>this to the death penalty federal death penalty status. What

867
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:56.440
<v Speaker 2>happens in that pursuit tell us what happens.

868
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:02.440
<v Speaker 3>It's a petition process to to have the US government

869
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:06.800
<v Speaker 3>put somebody to debt. That petition goes before At the time,

870
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:11.599
<v Speaker 3>it went before John John Ashcroft, who was the US

871
00:58:11.639 --> 00:58:17.639
<v Speaker 3>Attorney General, and after review, that was denied. Our request

872
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to have the US government put Floyd to debt.

873
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:23.360
<v Speaker 4>That was denied.

874
00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Floyd, Sanchez and Harry Burdick ultimately pled pled guilty to

875
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:35.559
<v Speaker 3>life with our parole with no trial, kenned Day. And

876
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.559
<v Speaker 3>it was ironic because Sanchez never said a word to us.

877
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:42.440
<v Speaker 3>He invoked his right to not speak to us, which

878
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:46.199
<v Speaker 3>was you know, his constitutional right. He never said a

879
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:48.800
<v Speaker 3>word to us, but ultimately he fled out to life

880
00:58:48.840 --> 00:58:54.159
<v Speaker 3>with all parole. Kenned Day was the only one that said,

881
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 3>I want to take this to trial, and we did.

882
00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:02.119
<v Speaker 3>The youth the United States government took kenned Day to

883
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:07.000
<v Speaker 3>trial and the US Federal Court in Providence, and halfway

884
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:12.800
<v Speaker 3>through the trial process, the defense attorney for.

885
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:16.119
<v Speaker 4>Kenned Day was.

886
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:21.559
<v Speaker 3>Asked by the judge judge lagueur is an emotion to dismiss?

887
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:25.559
<v Speaker 3>And the judge asked this of the defense attorney several times,

888
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:28.800
<v Speaker 3>which made us raise our eyebrows, like, where's this judge

889
00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:32.320
<v Speaker 3>going with this? And finally the lawyer said, yes, you're on,

890
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:35.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm asking for emotion to dismiss, which finned the grudg

891
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:40.280
<v Speaker 3>said granted. And we learned that from the judge is

892
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:43.000
<v Speaker 3>judge's opinion, which I didn't agree with it and still

893
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:47.280
<v Speaker 3>don't that he said that because they didn't have the

894
00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:52.400
<v Speaker 3>intent to murder prior to them actually going out and

895
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:57.920
<v Speaker 3>conjacking Jason and Amy. Then he was dismissing the case

896
00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:02.360
<v Speaker 3>against Kenneth Day.

897
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Now, how did Day respond and how does prosecution in

898
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island respond?

899
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had a backup plan because he was elated

900
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:19.079
<v Speaker 3>obviously that he got off on a federal charge. But

901
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:23.519
<v Speaker 3>because he got off on the federal charge, we charged

902
01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:26.920
<v Speaker 3>him on the state statue of murder and we charged

903
01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:31.599
<v Speaker 3>him with multiple counts of murder, multiple charges of kajacking

904
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>double jeopardy doesn't apply because it's too distinct in separate jurisdictions. Ultimately,

905
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:42.280
<v Speaker 3>we take kenned Day to court on the state murder

906
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:46.840
<v Speaker 3>charges and he was convicted on all counts and received

907
01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:49.480
<v Speaker 3>four consecutive life sentences with our parole.

908
01:00:53.559 --> 01:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about Gregory Floyd testifying against Kenneth.

909
01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Day during the federal trial Floyd.

910
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I had gone down to Pennsylvania where Floyd was being detained,

911
01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:16.159
<v Speaker 3>and I spoke to him at length about clearing his

912
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:20.920
<v Speaker 3>conscious He did almost do the right thing by well,

913
01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:24.119
<v Speaker 3>he stopped the rape of Amy for the sexual assault

914
01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:27.599
<v Speaker 3>of Amy, but then ultimately he killed them. I said,

915
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.480
<v Speaker 3>we can offer you nothing else. You are doing life

916
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:32.800
<v Speaker 3>with our role. You're going to die in prison. But

917
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:38.159
<v Speaker 3>kenned Day was equally as guilty. Will you help us

918
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>against our case in kenned Day and Floyd agreed to

919
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:45.039
<v Speaker 3>come back to Rhode Island and he was going to

920
01:01:45.079 --> 01:01:49.800
<v Speaker 3>now testify against kenned Day. Once Floyd got to Rhode Island,

921
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>that quickly did not happen at trial. So we had

922
01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:59.079
<v Speaker 3>to use Raymond Anderson as the person that was going

923
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:04.519
<v Speaker 3>to testify against kenned Day, and for Raymond's consideration of testifying,

924
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:06.679
<v Speaker 3>he received a reduced sentence.

925
01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>And what was that reduced sentence.

926
01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:14.880
<v Speaker 3>It was I believe in the numbers of like thirty

927
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:18.079
<v Speaker 3>five years to serve. So Anderson will get out of

928
01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:21.159
<v Speaker 3>prison when he's in his fifties and the rest are

929
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:22.599
<v Speaker 3>all serving life foot out parole.

930
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>You talked about Kenneth Day and some of his behavior

931
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>at court regarding families.

932
01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, again, kenned Day was an absolute animal. So when

933
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:45.960
<v Speaker 3>he was brought into court in state court, he faced

934
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:51.159
<v Speaker 3>the family, he was giggling, laughing, blowing kisses to him.

935
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Defense table and prosecution table are like side by side,

936
01:02:56.280 --> 01:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>and under his breath he was constantly trying to beat

937
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:04.760
<v Speaker 3>me into an argument with him, and you know, we

938
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:05.559
<v Speaker 3>have to keep.

939
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:06.880
<v Speaker 4>A cool ahead.

940
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:11.840
<v Speaker 3>But the judge did notice, and the sheriffs did advise

941
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:16.079
<v Speaker 3>the judge that what Cannant Day's action were once he

942
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.199
<v Speaker 3>was being brought into the courtroom, and how much this

943
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:20.719
<v Speaker 3>upset the families.

944
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:22.719
<v Speaker 4>And then because of that.

945
01:03:24.239 --> 01:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>He was brought into court on a different manner, so

946
01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:28.880
<v Speaker 3>that now he no longer faced the families.

947
01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Tell us what you write about the circumstance where they

948
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the perpetrators pled guilty received the life without parole. But

949
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>if they would have got the death penalty, you righte

950
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:50.679
<v Speaker 2>that with that legal precedent or that what that judge

951
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>decision would have affected it.

952
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:56.719
<v Speaker 4>Tell us about that, well, that would.

953
01:03:56.480 --> 01:04:00.079
<v Speaker 3>Have kicked it into a whole different level of of.

954
01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:03.480
<v Speaker 4>The case.

955
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Because if they we sought the death penalty and Kenned

956
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:17.559
<v Speaker 3>Day went to trial and was found guilty and the

957
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>judge had reservations about the calidication be dismissed, I believe

958
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.639
<v Speaker 3>that still would be entangled in the court process today,

959
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:34.119
<v Speaker 3>as it was a day's appeal process. Last that lasted

960
01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:37.880
<v Speaker 3>for a number of years. He appealed everything under the sun,

961
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:44.199
<v Speaker 3>and ultimately all his appeals were denied, and that last

962
01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:48.519
<v Speaker 3>appeal was in two thousand and seven and that was denied.

963
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>And anything he could come up with. I mean, his

964
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:53.639
<v Speaker 3>job was to try to stay out of jail. Our

965
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:56.519
<v Speaker 3>job was to keep him in jail, and we prevailed.

966
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:04.400
<v Speaker 2>You talk about the families of the Burgersons and the shoots.

967
01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Amy's mother didn't farewell. Amy's sister tell us a little

968
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>bit about the fallout and a little bit about some

969
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:18.840
<v Speaker 2>of the people that went on and continued with life

970
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>successfully despite this disaster.

971
01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Well again, I try to I try to put the

972
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:32.719
<v Speaker 3>reader's mindset in the shoes of the family having to

973
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:36.239
<v Speaker 3>sit through this process and it just it just beat

974
01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:39.519
<v Speaker 3>them up to no end. Uh, And it affected everybody

975
01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:43.039
<v Speaker 3>across the board. We had super highs in the case

976
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.840
<v Speaker 3>and then horrible low was in the case. And the

977
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:49.639
<v Speaker 3>ultimate low was when Day's case was dismissed in federal

978
01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.079
<v Speaker 3>court after we think, you know that we had a

979
01:05:52.119 --> 01:05:56.800
<v Speaker 3>slam dunk going here that really took its toll on

980
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:04.599
<v Speaker 3>Jason's mom, h on Jason's sister. It affected everybody, law

981
01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:09.320
<v Speaker 3>enforcement family, and to move on, Yes, in law enforcement,

982
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:11.840
<v Speaker 3>you have to go on because there are other families

983
01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:14.199
<v Speaker 3>out there you need to help. But still lingers in

984
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:17.480
<v Speaker 3>the back of your head that you know, oh my god,

985
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>these families just went through such a heinous time and

986
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:24.239
<v Speaker 3>you know they're never going to get their loved one back.

987
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:30.000
<v Speaker 3>And here are these five individuals. Their life really hasn't

988
01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>been Actually their life is probably for the better because

989
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:39.239
<v Speaker 3>now they're getting the meals, they're getting their their bed,

990
01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>they're getting everything they need in life. Because they're type

991
01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:45.760
<v Speaker 3>of people that really didn't need much in life because

992
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>they didn't have anything in life, and if they get it,

993
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>they stole it anyway.

994
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, I talked about a couple of these guys

995
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in Floyd and another were essentially homeless and like you say,

996
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>lived in abject poverty as it were. You write about

997
01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:06.119
<v Speaker 2>because it seems and you write that some of these

998
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>guys said they seem to be conflicted, or at least

999
01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>their heinous behavior seemed in conflict with their normal sort

1000
01:07:17.639 --> 01:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>of loving behavior that people described. And what you do

1001
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:25.119
<v Speaker 2>is you look at the work of Lonnier Athens, respected

1002
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:29.280
<v Speaker 2>criminologists and who had studied the nature of violent crime exclusively,

1003
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>and what did you find through Lonnier Athens to try

1004
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to explain how this might have happened.

1005
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, once the five individuals collectively, their mindset became one.

1006
01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Even if that one good person, I don't think he

1007
01:07:51.480 --> 01:07:57.760
<v Speaker 3>could overrule the other four. And once once that animal

1008
01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:03.639
<v Speaker 3>pack type mentality he kicked in. Unless you're the dominant

1009
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.239
<v Speaker 3>person amongst that group and you had the power to

1010
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:09.679
<v Speaker 3>persuade you, you were not going to persuade those other four.

1011
01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:13.840
<v Speaker 3>So let's let's turn this whole process around and not

1012
01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:15.079
<v Speaker 3>not commit this murder.

1013
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:19.239
<v Speaker 4>Some of them.

1014
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:21.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say they had good qualities because

1015
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:25.159
<v Speaker 3>I'll never say that. These these people, in my eyes,

1016
01:08:25.199 --> 01:08:26.439
<v Speaker 3>they had nothing good about them.

1017
01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1018
01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Ray Anderson had a small child, and to me, yes,

1019
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:37.279
<v Speaker 3>he had a child. He loved his child. Well, if

1020
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:41.439
<v Speaker 3>you loved your child, Jason and Emu were somebody's child,

1021
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:44.239
<v Speaker 3>and you you were part and apostle to this executioner.

1022
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1023
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:48.239
<v Speaker 3>He he didn't have You know, he lost no sleep

1024
01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:53.399
<v Speaker 3>over this because the Friday night when we caught Floyd.

1025
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:55.640
<v Speaker 4>He was out at a high.

1026
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:58.800
<v Speaker 3>School graduation party and uh, you know where where was

1027
01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.640
<v Speaker 3>the effect it had on him? They all went about

1028
01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:06.079
<v Speaker 3>their life. The next day when we spoke to Kenneth Day,

1029
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:10.680
<v Speaker 3>he told me that he was getting ready to call

1030
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.920
<v Speaker 3>the police to tell them about what happened. And I

1031
01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:16.640
<v Speaker 3>said straight out to why didn't you? Well, I don't know,

1032
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:19.680
<v Speaker 3>because that wasn't in his makeup. He was never going to,

1033
01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:26.039
<v Speaker 3>as he's so called, rat out on any of his friends. Yeah,

1034
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:31.279
<v Speaker 3>it was a it was a horrible, horrible experience to

1035
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:33.079
<v Speaker 3>go through as an investigator.

1036
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:38.119
<v Speaker 4>As a father, I had a daughter.

1037
01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:42.039
<v Speaker 3>Of the same age close to Amy, and you know,

1038
01:09:42.279 --> 01:09:45.760
<v Speaker 3>just looking at her in that golf course, knowing that

1039
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:51.079
<v Speaker 3>her last moments in life were determined by five and

1040
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:54.720
<v Speaker 3>five people she never knew. And it's just a horrible,

1041
01:09:54.920 --> 01:09:55.520
<v Speaker 3>horrible thing.

1042
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:02.239
<v Speaker 2>The outpouring of emotions for the wakes and the funerals

1043
01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>that followed for Jason and Amy were impressive, even to

1044
01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the families that thought they had a lot of friends

1045
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:11.680
<v Speaker 2>that it was almost overwhelming the responses that they had

1046
01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>from people, strangers and friends at these events. Weren't they.

1047
01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:19.920
<v Speaker 4>It truly was and.

1048
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Well deserved the outpaaring. And again, I don't know if

1049
01:10:26.960 --> 01:10:31.680
<v Speaker 3>people who had no history with the Burgisons or the

1050
01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Shoots attended the wakes and just out of the share

1051
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:40.319
<v Speaker 3>compassion that some people, some good people have, but there

1052
01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:41.760
<v Speaker 3>was a tremendous outpawing.

1053
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:44.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the Geames were two very.

1054
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Likable kids who had the world in front of them

1055
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.960
<v Speaker 3>and ultimately was taken by five animals who you know,

1056
01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:55.079
<v Speaker 3>wanted to play, They wanted to play god.

1057
01:10:56.920 --> 01:11:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Hm. Well, you know, luckily, through the hard work of

1058
01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:05.800
<v Speaker 2>your team and people involved in the judicial system that

1059
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:10.439
<v Speaker 2>these for these people anyway, will never see the light

1060
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>of day, and one person will receive a significant sentence

1061
01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>like you say he likely will receive some parole, receive

1062
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>parole someday. But congratulations on the investigation. They move very

1063
01:11:24.079 --> 01:11:30.359
<v Speaker 2>quickly and responded appropriately, and obviously you didn't get the

1064
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>death penalty, but you got the appropriate sentence for these

1065
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:35.199
<v Speaker 2>people that they would be behind bars forever.

1066
01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:39.239
<v Speaker 4>Gratulation and thank you very much. I appreciate that.

1067
01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank you for coming on and talking

1068
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>about murder without Motive, the Amy shoot and Jason Bergerson's story.

1069
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:51.199
<v Speaker 2>I know this is on Amazon. Is there a website

1070
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>or a Facebook page for people that might want to

1071
01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:57.319
<v Speaker 2>look at more information about this? Is there something like that?

1072
01:11:58.279 --> 01:12:03.119
<v Speaker 4>I would look under the author Paul Leonado. It's l

1073
01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:04.680
<v Speaker 4>O N A R d O.

1074
01:12:05.199 --> 01:12:11.159
<v Speaker 3>He's written numerous books. He specializes in a lot of

1075
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:16.039
<v Speaker 3>true crying stuff. I would Google or any other search engine.

1076
01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Paul Nado.

1077
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:22.680
<v Speaker 3>He does have a website and you can link up

1078
01:12:22.680 --> 01:12:27.079
<v Speaker 3>to anything you want. Any out additional information that may

1079
01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:27.680
<v Speaker 3>be asked.

1080
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and we just want to mention too, Paul Lenardo's

1081
01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:35.560
<v Speaker 2>co author. Originally he was going to come on and

1082
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:38.439
<v Speaker 2>talk about this book, but he felt that it would

1083
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.640
<v Speaker 2>be much better for you to come on and with

1084
01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>your intimacy with this case to come on and talk

1085
01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>about that, and he was absolutely right. So I want

1086
01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:50.359
<v Speaker 2>to thank you very much, retire Detective Raymond Pinatory, for

1087
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>this interview. You have a great evening and it was

1088
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>a pleasure speaking with you.

1089
01:12:55.560 --> 01:12:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Good night, Thank you, Danny, and also to you, thank you.

1090
01:12:58.520 --> 01:12:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Good night.
