Some true grab
This is true crime garage, and this is the case of the more murders than you've killed. The man who killed the boys to take out money, the gm shot to death, the police started across the country for the man who killed a powerful woman and her daughter was still no justice for Nancy. Go kick his family on the fifth anniversary of the martyrs or anything at all. Please please give me the confidence that we do have that if we can identify that we can protect you, that the investigation has taken police to new york, atlanta, philadelphia and tampa, but key evidence such as the gun used in the shooting was never recovered. This sketch is the only image ever released of a possible suspect, Nancy and Joey bulkier were abducted from the Boca Raton town center mall parking lot on december, twelfth two thousand and seven. These are the last images taken of them walking out of the mall and killed the man. You killed, shot to death the forced to take out money, the gm and shot to death, the more than nine hundred leaves the
bert, twelve,
thousand and seven. This is both a
in florida, now buckler
in Florida is quite the wealthy, affluent neighborhood
an area very
crime rate and nanny,
bulky he'll has taken her daughter to the mall. That's a tough name, say three times ass
well they're at the ball, they're doing some shopping, one could assume maybe even some shopping for the upcoming christmas season and get
for the holiday this
broad daylight captain. This is around three o clock in the afternoon
the two of them leave behind my when I go shopping, that's when women,
after dissolve is major purchases so nancy
kiki is leaving the mall with her daughter joey, who was seven years old around three
in the afternoon and their heading out to the parking lot they're going to go to their vehicle
and their driving a black suv. They
to get into the vehicle, and now some of the details of this crime.
Were unaware of, but we can make some assumptions. That's every case who cover we can make some assumptions and we know some things that took place it from what the
cigarette. Her saw after the fact at some point
She must Nancy must have found a man in her vehicle or
standing outside of the vehicle rain
You know one would assume this is going to be a simple car jacking, maybe she's, driving a nice black suv in an affluent area. Somebody's come to take her car. Well, that's not the key.
Ass, the man once inside the vehicle- and he wants to take action,
of the situation
he's, got a gun,
and he is making orders he's calling the shots
going to order nancy but kiki oh to go to a nearby atm
this atm is within blocks of the shopping mall when
get the atm he's going to have her
four or five hundred dollars. Now, that's
to be Nancy's
tm limit for that day,.
After receiving the five hundred dollars the vehicle
is gone for approximately an hour,
police, are able to later determine that they have. I
witnesses that would later see that vehicle matching nancy's vehicle description,
returned to the shopping mall parking lot within about
our of three o clock when they
and they went on this trip well
vehicle they would later. Fine security officers would find this vehicle around midnight. Now
vehicles running
and they come up to the vehicle. They open up the door and the
the guard is shocked by what he said. He
in two lifeless bodies
the body of a child in the body of presume,
lay the child's mother
yeah not just lifeless bodies but thereby
to the chairs yet
They find zip ties
Both of the victims, they have zip ties.
Their hands there as well,
their feet, and
the woman's neck to the
headrest of the the backseat branches
and there's different sizes of zip ties so either
it's multiple zip ties put together or it's just the big zip ties
the strange thing I found here's one report says that the door was open.
Which is odd. It's almost like somebody would have stumbled upon it earlier or I don't know how many could have been cracked, a lobe that I don't know how this vehicle shows back up in the parking lot at four,
for thirty p m. It's not discovered into almost midnight and the doors,
open or, like you said, just cracked, but would net
cases that that's gonna leave that dome light on, but at four o clock
slide out anyway, so if you can see
into the car, you can see into the car, of course, a security guard. He calls the authorities the authorities arrive and they describe they see what we just described. The two victims are bound and
been shot to death
Not only are they bound, but there also wearing strange goggles.
when his place goggles on both of the victims and they have blacked out the blind
of the goggles there
some keys that they are able to figure out in this crime? Ok, what
One being that the victim, the mother,
or somebody inside the car? Presumably the mother had called nine one one
and there was no answer when the operator picked up
and they were on the phone. For very short, there was no answer and a quick hang up after
the police when they find the bodies in the vehicle. This is a chrysler. Aspen s, feet. Ass, you ve, they find it
the parking lot at the town centre. Boca written town centre mall, both of them
comes, had been shot point blank, the
mother Nancy. She has on a pair of broken toy handcuffs, so there
some kind of struggle going on in this vehicle which may have
I too, to the demise of both of the victim
yet in in me on the
ideas,
toy
toy handcuffs right. Are they plastic
are they just the kind that we are talking about the other week where their actual hancock
but they're like the trick ones where you can get out of a pretty easy yeah
yeah. I I would imagine there. Probably the actual metal toy handcuffs
but remember they had that release on them somewhere that if you couldn't, if you couldn't-
the key or or or if you wanted to look like you're pulling off a magic trick? You would
hit the release while your friend held the key
oh, I got out of a man in the release is kind of small, so nobody says it's broken and they specifically said that there were broken so be there, our plastic and she does programme apart on bet. I would bet you that they're probably metal, but because they are toy hancock
that their made out of a cheaper metal, probably the chain itself as a cheap chain
metal, and I dont
the chain portion was broken or if the actual cuff one of the copse were broken
but they did described the the handcuffs that were on the mother as broken
this crime obviously ended up having a huge impact on the community, huge impact on the shopping mall and it went, the story went nation wide. There are look,
for whom this person could be. They were checking out the surveillance cameras, the surveillance tapes
could see the mother and the daughter walking in the parking lot, but they did not pick
anybody getting into the vehicle for or or abducting the mother and daughter
This is the third of three attacks
you're exactly right this. This was in not only the third but very reminiscent of the two previous attacks, so the
first attack took place,
was two years earlier now this was
the two year old, randy go and burke. She was at the bulk of it,
on town centre. Em, all the same, the same exact mall,
and she was leaving them all. This is again in broad daylight and she
is presumably carjacked now
Bout she seen coming out of the mall around one fifteen p m, so the got tapes of her they have to
of her leaving them all as well, but they don't have any surveillance actually in the parking lot. No there's no camera that witness the car jacket and I wonder if this guy knew this or
or how yeah yeah I mean, like you, you're gonna, be making these attacks broad daylight, or these basically
jack. It's not that tax right there, but the car jackets.
Broad daylight.
How do you know that you're not beyond on camera
yeah exactly he may have had some insider information or had had previous knowledge of where they are picking up. This footage,
I've always thought to that. You know when you go shopping. Typically spent
if you have an s, u v or van or hatch back. What are you naturally do your walk to your vehicle? You get close, you hit the button, so you unlock the car and then you open up there.
Act and put your items in well now the
vehicle was unlocked and now
still outside of the vehicle. I always wondered: if that's win win some,
like randy, would have been taken right. There been been
with a gun in her face or grabbed
pulled into the vehicle or is
swear this man or man or whoever did this
finds a way into the vehicle within that that few seconds
yeah, as somebody gets into their vehicle
your kind of doing something you not paying attention that much still your surroundings, if you're putting bags in you are but
You opening up your driver side door to slip in that
when somebody could slip and right behind you done to them
the head to make move
and we ve all heard the old urban legend error, the old fear of everybody. Do you look in the back seat of your car? I will, when you get about us on a previous of authority, you pig through the window. You know to see if there's anything in there. If
it's a situation of wooden really matter. If you saw somebody in their not because what we're talking about somebody that using those, though
few seconds to either get into your vehicle or to abduct you and pull you into the vip. What I'm saying is, if I'm getting into my car- and I see somebody in there-
get it in, and that gives me enough time to get away, especially in this attack because she's
by herself. She habit child with her approximately
thirty minutes later right
go and burg is seen being pushed from her suv, the passenger side door and she
has been shot now the
ever was driving the vehicle had drove
vehicle for about thirty minutes, and we know this because a nine when one somebody called nine one one and said that they had heard
what sounded like two gunshots and then
he had seen a body
pushed out of this vehicle and the
drove off now the
the location of where randy
pushed out of the vehicle.
proximately six miles from the shopping mall
and then later police would find the
vehicle abandon and a home depot parking lot, which was about two miles north
where her body was pushed out of the vehicle, and there was no atm activity
yes, she didn't even have an atm card on her. So if, if
This is linked to this other case that we just spoke about. Who knows what took
lace during that thirty minutes, and that's what police really want to figure out. Where did they go? Was there any attempt at an atm withdrawal?
she didn't have a card on her, but you know the pile she could have a card honour that was taken, the
betrayed or would not have known if she was telling the truth or not so wheat. So I would imagine some kind of argument ensued, trying to figure
if she's lying, if she just protecting her money or whatever.
Probably you know, but she she
is found with a nice bracelet on
very nice diamond ring. I think a wedding ring yeah yeah, they list is expensive, diamond ring, a diamond necklace, and
cartier watch
everybody knows. Cartier is one of the more expensive watchmakers
of these items were not taken, but
the heavy shoes on that
her shoes and they
her purse so
the purse was missing. The shoes were missing. I believe she was wearing like puma shoes, so nothing like super crazy, expensive there,
but for whatever reason the shoes and and purse were were missing. I brought the pumas
again here. Captain we're seeing the same area of tat, same shopping, mall, blackest,
you ve, all we're not seeing the same. This is the first one. She sheep right by this
in comparison to write a third attack and she,
mercedes benz as you via black one, and you brought up a very nice car. You brought up a good question earlier when we're talking is how do you know if she had an atm card or not? We can only assume, because there was no atm withdrawal, and maybe she had told vocally, told people that she doesn't have an atm card or a relative thousand and seven most people at an atm. Most people, especially people living in Boca, Raton and an officially year old, successful woman, but I just
a point out here that the similarities of the two of this first case and the third case, as we have
the black suv. The same,
opting mall and
female driver, female driver, you're exactly right and
because some some of these assailants war will go. They will target
female or somebody that they believe they can easily overpower or gang
troll of while we know this attack, her has a gun, yellow he's overpowering anyway, that doesn't have a gun exactly that
the details of the third attack and the first attack that could be done.
Together? The key here is: why are we waiting to discuss the second attack and and discuss them out of order, while there's quite a bit more
or information regarding the second attack and wood.
to that right. After a quick, this fathers they find a perfect

brings us two august- seventh, two thousand and seven
now this is the same situation. This is the second attack and what is
zuma, bleak three attacks and a series
and it's got some similarities here. We have
a woman. We have a mother and the mother driver and work
call her jane doe. She
is leaving the town centre mall with her
two year old son
again they are driving a black suv. They walk through
parking lot they get to their vehicle,
she places or sun in the back seat. She goes around to the back. She opens up the hatch and she puts the items.
purchase into the back of the vehicle before
she can get into the driver's seat she
confronted by a man who is now sitting in the back seat with her son. Rightly slip then get any
got he's, got a gun and
he's going to start calling the shots he tells her. You are
To do what I tell you to do or your son is going to die. She
it's an and now she's going to have to drive to an atm,
He has our drive to an atm, that's about a block away from them all,
Her son is to write correct so,
son is too you don't open,
the door. You help him in yet socio opens up the door, helps a man
probably not in the back seat at that moment,
he puts them in the car sea and then when she goes back round- and I just
assume that that's how he's doing it every time I think you're exactly rise timing. It perfectly so, like I said before, if you're put
your bags in the car. Will you see the car you if europe opening up the hatch back or whatever, specially suv, you open up that
back, you see the lay of the land, but when
giving in to your driver side. You not really paying attention so he's to slip in right when they
yeah and you kind of heavy like ample time they're right, because if you got a strap the kid in two
to the seat,
we're gonna see he's gonna be sitting in strap a man put the
but the purchases in the back there so
got some time to get into this vehicle know what I'm saying is now as if she puts it
hid in the car sea and then
whose background and open up the hatch back. She would be able to see the guy in the car
the door open to write. So he is time in it right when she's opening her drivers sighed, she I'm saying
I see what you're saying or your exactly
I mean unless, unless he, unless he's ducking down when one of these breakin into the cars
calm down early. I mean
would think she would see him crouched down there between those who rightly see crowded tiger hidden dragon waiting for
I think, it's maybe more after strapping in the sun and then walking towards the back that maybe he's he slipping out as if she's in the back and opens up the hatch back. She sees him unless he crouched down at this point.
Now he's crash entire here dragon that while we don't know how he's doing it but he's
into this vehicle and he's taking control of her.
By having control of the sun
threatening the sun's life, while the controls come
from the gun it well.
but this is a very different hostage situation than than what some people will find themselves in.
Yeah they different because there's a kid involved. Yet you a two year old boy, you you're, not you're, not the one. With the gun pointed at you, this
Is your sons? Life is in your hands, you're going to do what I tell you to do before
I'm in control of this situation here in the back seat, an hour
make you drive to the atm machine, which is
like we set about a block away. They get there and she withdraws six hundred dollars
now? I don't know if this was multiple transit,
actions, but
we do know that an amount of six hundred dollars was withdrawn there. They said it's her limit, you now, but
like some people, have a withdrawal limit period for the day and then some
people, you know poor fred Murray and they just go to like ten different atm because they have a limit per atm ranching cod
in Fred Murray,
but so maybe he thought we could go to another atm, but the report,
I read was she does had a max limit. She could only withdraw
from the atm six hundred a day, and that was for
kennedy reasons can cause it
she probably not. Somebody carries around the law, a cash well, and we saw with the other attack that that person had a five hundred dollar limit and had met their limit as well. So
instances where seeing where the killer is, is getting them to go to the atm machine and withdrawing the limit and then at some point. This is where things are going
changes where he his emma was going to change from now. I've got the money to what do I do with these witnesses. So
after he gets the money he places her in the back seat. The mother
and at this point he's using those zip ties that we talked about and he,
binding her hands, binding the legs and he puts
like sunglasses, that he's put some kind of duct tape or some kind of tape, dark tape on the lenses. So she,
not see out of these sunglasses at
point he would go any. Would change these sunglasses to the black gag?
said we had seen and in the other crime with it were black,
as well,
now I don't know if this is because he doesn't want to see the victim's eyes, I'm or or if he doesn't want them. Looking at him, I'm not really certain at this point shy a little bit of both is probably you know your. She would have seen him by this point. Obviously, but now she can't see- and hopefully may maybe he's wandering- that that the amount of terror that's going on and
in only seeing him for a brief period of time might make him lesson,
less memorable to her the entire
time the mother is trying to identify with the attacker with the doktor and really humanize herself and her son,
planing. You know how old her son is he's only two years old and how
He means to her and how they
I family and they have loved ones, she's, reminding them of that they are people that they
they are innocent people and did you know
the kind of pudding humanizing themselves in his mind in making
harder for him to vic
my them she might
be doing this cautiously or subconsciously. Yeah could just be an instinct or
Where are our quickly action yeah yeah, but for whatever reason it may have worked, because at some point she says did he
told her. Yes, I can see that you got a good boy here. You got a good sought,
and he would return the vehicle about
our so later to the town centre parking lot and at this point
she is allowed to use her phone to call her husband.
Now she's, given very specific instructions on what she's allowed to say and in in how she's allowed to communicate what has just taken place and she's round at this point. Yes, she just like we had seen with the other victims. She
Her hands are tied feeder tide.
He's black zip ties and
her neck is been zip tied to the headrest of the back seat.
And so she does call her husband
and she explains that you know you need to come- get us we're locked in our vehicle.
And he fleas the area and before
he fleas. One of the instruction sheikh he gave to her was
you when you too
the police about this
you're gonna have to give a bad description. You can
Tell them what you saw. You cannot tell them what I said
and he tells us that you should you're going to describe you're going to say what happened is that I got carjacked by a short chubby black guy
nice on what this guy looks like he's, is tall.
skinny caucasian
possibly hispanic yeah, and we should. We should really commend her help help
how brave she is because you know she
he's been terrified from from ever
since this day, she's been horrified that something is going to happen to her or happened
her son. You know he
explain to her before he left the vehicle. He said, I know who you are right
he may have looked at her.
Photo Id now or he could
be talkin rorschach who knows yeah he, but he could have pulled the day that there
but dress off of the her driver's license. He could have got her license. Plate number any number of things that
led him back to her. If she did
follow through with her and of the bargain. Now like
it said, captain she does go onto given accurate description of of him
and she would say that this this man wore a faux la floppy hat. You know one of those handle it a fisherman's hat yeah that has like the full rim brim around the the whole hat and he's wearing sunglasses. He appears
because occasion, maybe hispanic, and he
has a hand gun, and
he had war. Well it that you,
Had brown, curly, hair and light
approximately five inch ponytail on the back so as well,
in the pony rock? In the the
already in the back with the floppy hat reverent outflow, floppy aunt Jane
will she gives this description, and this is the composite drawling goes out to all the media.
all the media outlets and the police. Since two thousand and seven sensitive taken taken place, they still
not know who this guy is
They have not seen a similar attack that there are aware of now
have followed up on over two thousand leads
while they ve got about two thousand leads, but they're, probably at eight.
Ninety per cent of looking into those leads the first
that was randy go and bird and
was the the female twenty fifty two years old, leaving them all by herself getting into the
black suv. Now very little is known about this attack
other than she's driven about six miles away from the shopping mall and
body is she's been shot and
thrown from the vehicle- and this is the one where the eyewitnesses actually heard shots hurt, heard what I believe
to have been reported as two shots fired and then saw the body being pushed out of the vehicle
vehicles then found later
two miles north of where the body was found in
was in a home depot parking lot
and again, we have no surveillance of the attack
her in the shopping mall,
parking lot or the home depot parking lot. The same
attack is the Jane doe with her two year old son. That was abducted in
black ass, you leaving
the town centre mall driven to
de. I am very close to the shopping mall. They withdraw that, so
hundred dollars, which is their their limit for the day. And then the mother starts playing hurt case and in an really humanizing herself and her son to the attacker.
And for whatever reason he decides to let them go, but
before he does, that he's bound them. Terror
Is them put them in them
I goggles and he said what you are going to tell your husband. This is what you're going to tell police. You know he heat
a person that likes to be in control of the entire situation. I think that that's why
You see him using a child as part of the abduction
makes a lot easier
easy to control the adult and then
the third attack this the attack,
took place in december of two things.
in seven
this is the one that we don't have him as many details about, because we don't have any witnesses left to tell us about the attacker. But it is.
Varies so similar. It's the same shopping mall it's in
daylight, just just like the other two attacks and its
black suv, abducted with
with the child,
driven around they go to
atm. They take out the five hundred bucks, that's the daily limit and then some
something takes place. You know we know that there was the nine one. One call
you know the mother tried to call nine one one and tip them off. He must have
he must have seen her phone
her hand or saw that heat, she did something with the phone.
because I imagine what she was probably trying to do is just call nine one in just let them here what's going on
hear him shouting out orders to her. She
all is dropped, whether whether she hangs up or he hangs up the phone. We don't know, but they are all
Emily found dead, they're both shot point blank and their there
they're bound in that same way, wherewith with the zip tight to than around the neck, keeping the head
against the headrest they have them.
Broken again. We have,
broken handcuffs here
so there was definitely a struggle in the situation which makes it clear
a bit different, in my opinion, from four
earlier situation where he had abducted, the mother.
child and it didn't in the same way
there there didn't seem to be as much fight back. There was a different kind of fight back by humanizing ourselves in and telling about our families and telling about our son in it.
It is a defence.
You know- and I am sure the other mother did everything that she could do as well, unfortunately
we should try to combine one one, and unfortunately, this this is upset
man to the point where he, where he is a total jerk and kills these people
innocent people that he's abducted and parking, because the mom and the daughter. So
what are the similarities in all three of these
well? Obviously, the shopping mall
and in their all, this all took place within a two year time period so we're
talking about you know next.
The time period, whereas we got two years, we got
female driver
three situation female driver. We have all three are black ass. She reads:
that's pretty much it yet. Well, it's well with the second too. We see the zip ties. We see the goggle now I'm saying what will how
connect all three.
Actually reforms in I'll start with the three them will break it down to the there. There there's a lot of speculation. If you look on like webs clues,
and stuff like that that the first murder
had nothing to do with the next to
yeah. Originally they were saying that they believe that that first attack on randy go was the first of the series rain
and then later police would say. We don't believed that this was connected. There's no forensic link to lie
this crime against randy go and bird to the other. Two attacks now
that case we don't have a child involved. In that case,
we don't have them going too
eight him there I know of
and in that case the
The car is not left
It was taken from it doesn't go back,
to the mall. It right
It goes to the home depot parasites and then she just dropped off. So that's naming connected to the third one where the
The victims are left in the vehicles right,
what's interesting, though, is theirs.
stuff on the internet. Some speculation, then the internet, reading about saying that they actually found
two men that were using randy's atm card and this
the victim
people also adamant that she didn't have atm card well. I know I believe that article said that using credit cards right
so yeah. Maybe she didn't have an atm card, but hey, but things ill still, robbery, the same rights
yet the motive there is money but
they killed her, so they killed her over credit card weren't. They
credit cards used almost two years later than that they
had traced them to some place in Massachusetts. I believe ass late, ass, chooses connecticut
area in, and they said that there were two unidentified men,
who were using the the credit cards that were in the name of randy, go and buy right, so I guess they got these two individuals on video but nobody's him than ever able
identify them. Correct, I'm guessing that they're, just not from that area, and it was this a trip and then we're gonna use these cards.
We're going to have a town that they were down there for for whatever reason and thought they would rob somebody to to. No, no I'm saying I don't think they're from like massachusetts or anything or you think they were going to use them far away
but they use them up and mass chooses, so they use
not there, but nobody has been able to identify him
Well, why have they been able to identify em cause? They live around their exit,
they don't want it so that they could have been travelling to florida. Maybe they live in florida. Maybe they
who knows where they live, but
where that videos shot
I haven't seen the video, so could this be really bad video, some
people sell these cards to on the black market.
Are you sure you can purchase somebody's credit card and with a with a handshake promise that there's money on their that you can access somehow dynamic payment? I wish
more was known about the gun or the bullets. You know that we we have more.
We'll victims that were shot. You know
To me, review them shot. That to me obviously may be an that's what they mean by no forensic linked to the to the first, it tack that that they can say.
realistically, that it's not the same gun,
in the first attack and the third attack that doesn't really mean anything could attack could have multiple guns right. He could be. He could,
the investigators or saying that that we
we have that link. We would know that definitive
that it that it probably is the framework so that
that's one thing that I would be curious to know more about now. They would come out in two thousand and fifteen. They would release information stating that the zip ties they were able to locate around about area of where the zip ties were purchased and they were all
purchased from the miami dade county area, so
and for whatever reason I remember when I first started reading about this case back in
two thousand and eight. You know shortly after the after the last attack did
for whatever reason they were saying back then to that they believe that this attack, or could be from that miami dade county area
I dont know what tipp them off to that in the beginning or why
but they are able to kind of confirm that in two thousand fifteen saying that those those items zip ties were purchased the odds of ties and when you look at
tradition of where
this company distribute their product. I mean that as pre simple source, if they're, not a superpower,
does your brand yeah, so these zip ties were purchased in that area, which is approximately a fifty to one hour, drive away from the bocc Boca Raton area. But again it doesn't mean
that. The person lives there now because it is,
he purchased them there or
or maybe Niven there. I mean that
it's two thousand seven. You know
their online stores that be can purchase these from
his what I'm like, if it just this brand, he could body on amazon for all. We know tat so.
turkey, when you have all these different, these different
companies that offer different services, and some of them have hubs here and hubs their you know who
was where and how that that that stuff,
shipped around and sent out could have
purchased at one of these big box stores or, like you said it could have been shipped to him. One
could be goin off. The idea of a careless try to figure out where these ties come from and then they think
out, while they're not really shipped in this general region. So now we're lookin at farther,
Alden an hour and then they
go to about an hour and a half away and they girl, okay, wanton here's, a store that sells them so
but that again, like, as it doesn't mean anything because
that could be living in california and order and for some reason is ordered that same bran online and that's gonna be.
trickier. Now is how many cases have you heard that they start finding?
these little leads and finding these little better nuggets based on
products that they bought well
case went national, not only,
because of the gruesome menace of the of the crime itself. Brain but all
because you now we're seeing a somewhat of some kind of a link to the miami dade county area which
which is a larger county, just south of that book. Written area right- and you know we had talked about
the credit cards being used up in the new england area and so
I mean this. This is a case that debts explain
did county lines and its crossed state lines as well with.
first cases go back to the first case were quick, the first
face to me? I don't I
no that we can say either way if it's connected are not connected to the other two. I think there's
enough similarities for me anyway, that that I I want to connect them that I that I hope,
there is only one person out there, this terrible doing this
the thing that I guess, but
first case does somewhat look like a head. Almost
where ya does where, where
this woman was singled out where maybe this whoever took her
knew her and that they may be.
took the person. The shoes is, as as a you know, some
to cover the crime or two main I'd more yeah, losing. I believe she was originally from new york.
So, when I saw that that these
were used in massachusetts. To me,
it's like well, then,
its summit coming down than theirs
for some reason on what would the mode of be cause? That's ok,
where the ring is still found on her bracelet, the necklace
already a watch. It yet doesn't seem.
doesn't seem like a robbery. No
But then, if there's these credit cards that were taken then was that all about
I buy there, but there was no purse found. So maybe this took that
evidence. So maybe I'd, take more take longer for the police to identify her, but then they have
I have the car, so no, it definitely makes it more confusing, and actually I gotta believe that in a hit type situation, if she was you know- and I'm not talking about a mafia here- I'm talking about somebody that that.
But leaves for whatever reason that they're killing of hers justified did. This is somebody that day they
have been wrong by or whatever reason, their settling a score whatever that whoever killed
randy Goldberg
it was a hit. Type situation
I dont believe that they would use those credit cards it would they would be too close to the victim and
easily identified right? I dont think that
think it might just be happens. To who knows? I mean TED Bundy used to drive down the road and throw belongings out of his victims just out out of the vehicle window as he's driving just rolled down the window and throw him out piece by piece and who now
who picks them up after that
through the purse out or when they part the current
on depot, they could
stolen. Now the car exactly
did you seen abandoned car there? Somebody could have to
the purse. Maybe the shoes were already off for whatever reason in the car I mean
The police really want to figure out what happened in that thirty minutes, because there is no atm visit as far as we aware of what took place
During that thirty minutes, they believed that if they had a better idea of where
vehicle, went during that time.
did they would have an idea of who did this? Who perpetrated this crime the sec?
two cases seem I mean those are definitely linked. We
we can say that, because the zip ties theirs to minimise the zip ties, the goggles there's too many similarities and involve us go over area, though black suv,
The female driver,
the child with child.
There is a difference. There's one female child one,
Both are smaller children too, but you no one is seven. One is too young
children and
he'll kill them all
and both of them go to them
tm. Both are bound. The next bound taking place in broad daylight,
and we know that a gun was used in both of these situations as well. We have the black zip ties.
Then we have the situation with the handcuffs there. There's no mention of those in the case where the victims survived. So
Have we also have a a
composite drawing of this criminal right, we we the
Caucasian, maybe hispanic man with the
Behalf in the sunglasses and the brown curly hair plant
five inch six inch ponytail, I've,
one thing that I think here captain is I'd, I think,
we're seeing somebody that really has put it.
at a time and effort into not being idead,
that is really worried about putting on a disguise now
but their disguise can't be so blatant because
have to lurk around in these parking lots in broad daylight right, so they
and put on a big spectacle with this. With this disguise, but but he's got the hat
gathers uncle sunglass. So you think that you're wearing a big hat and you weren't sunglasses, protect yourself from the sun and that hasn't sunglasses. Look that's similar to what most of the landscape hers. Where down there, which you would see. You know in parks, in
being malls, you would see them tending to the grounds of those areas that I
or to cause you have those hats, the fake ponytail. That's what I was getting that what you know,
Maybe I'm gonna where this goofy hat and I were
people see the ponytail. So then one
have a ponytail yeah.
what if you're, really worried about being identified? Would you just took that ponytail up inside the floppy hat? Would
but he leaves it hanging out
you know, like you said this could be a fake ponytail to throw a freak flag fly exactly. What are we
it's different in the cases here, captain, obviously we you know we talked about the differences from the first
compared to the second third, but the differences. But
we the second and third there so many similarities, but obviously we have a situation where two people survive
and then later, there's an attack in two people. Don't survive
Now, obviously we have now
could be as simple as
told this lady not to say, and if his motive is just money. Well, I got the money
I let them go, but now she's reporting, my
joy identity to the cops and now
it's gone onto. The news is so
it's gone on the news. Now I gotta be little more careful can't leave a trace,
and then he kills the third
Third, it and the third case yet witten well, and that's what I think we see here. You know
what you and I are discussed, was there any kind of psychological thing be between there? Be
in a month,
with the sun or a mother.
The daughter I
I think so I think there was psychological things being involved there, but it was just that she humanised herself in humanised the sun and really really
that point home to the point,
Even kind of agrees with her at some point, but but we are also seeing a situation where she's not fought back, you know them.
She didn't, try to call nine when one there was no
broken handcuffs or breaking of the binding so that we know of and but but
Like you just pointed out. One thing:
I think has missed on some people. Here is in this third case. I think
was. She was playing from behind the ape all here because, like you said that the last victim was brought,
enough to to tell the police what the
accurate, actually, look like rain,
in a most situations this would probably stop a sane man from from continuing those attacks or
continuing them in that same area, while lotta people believed that if
all three are connected, that this is actually a serial killer,
it needs money or us.
of killer that has possibly at drug habit. They,
has some reason to fuel.
the money for some reason when weathers the fuel, a drug habit or some other kind of vice
It's weird to make, as I dont know doesn't seem to me. Like monies the huge motivation drunk
people over five hundred box six six hundred bucks.
We could get more money if you rob a gas station or somethin
and I agree with you but it, but if you take away if you separate the first crime from the other two, if we could, if we go out on a limb here and say that he this person didn't, do the first crack
then it seems a little more likely. The way that this thing played out to me, because you have
the bad situation of being you know,
the perpetrator. Now you ve been identified. You know you will not identified, but your description has gone out.
and now you ve attack these other people and this point
and is fighting back in your unable to control the situation.
We don't know that that may,
that first victim wasn't shot entirely
on purpose.
and maybe the second victim was killed, just a cover up just so that there is no witnesses to to the first murdered while maybe- and we ve never seen these- it
acts in this area. Again
I believe in this
in case the boy.
On being to play a big factor in this regard, I think,
the boy being, does younger and general
daughter, and the third case was seven an
I still young but sir,
but I do think it played a part one it being a boy
the baby, be boy
indian too. I think that played
and also play the poor. I think.
depending on what she said to him. I think that played a part as well
of course- and I think it's this- the simple fact that he, what felt like he was
able to control
Situation with the with the jane doe in her son
There was no, they didn't
to be a white male attack or so of course,
he's gonna done identify with the child that
you're old boy more so
then the seven year,
girl, possibly pass an he. You know a lot of people to skill while he's pickin female drivers
so we can control. I dont think that
necessarily true either, because you have a gun you can,
control. Anybody
it more likely that you won't be able to control a single female with a child bs.
Possibly right
but you have a gun aside. You doing this with a knife for doing it would bear knuckles
to control a man just as easy. You could,
you could. But we are seeing a behaviour here of somebody that that wants to control the situation and make no. I it is rather ironic, as does he who also there could not some link where he has some hay.
Towards women over
much so
If I mean you can't pull that trigger without having that in you and
Furthermore, I you know does he want
these people as they exit their vehicle and go into the shopping mall, to make sure that it's a woman with
small child
or is he just walking around looking for a car seat? You know of or
you know, we don't know the emma. As far as that power goes, we can't see him.
walking around in the parking lot getting into the vehicle,
But I've always wondered, and I bet I bet you he's scouting the parking lot he's,
looking would make more sense. He's looking for an expensive vehicle
and maybe he's determine that it needs to be an s you ve for some reason, maybe-
give them a little more room if he needs a move around in the vehicle to do things
the thai people up. Maybe it has to do with that hatch in the back where people seem to naturally put their belongings when they returned to the vehicle, but yeah I'd, say
that he's probably watching the parking lot
at a time and he's probably picking out these these victims, pretend
victims before they even go into the shopping mall.
There was another case that happen in this area a few years ago
but his way different, but
it was the same situation where some by was
stocking their prey and he followed
the people home
killing the grandfather of a lady, but it's not connected but
same area, same everything
Probably they probably thought that it could be connected in the beginning. Right would both be different, because there is no car jacking at the fire.
fine, I'm home was a robbery, oh well, once I saw that or
read that it wasn't linked dive.
two it too much, but it didn't match the district. This.
Option of our suspect anyways. I think this person is probably moved on from the area moved away from the area or was a traveller to begin with. Yeah yeah did meet, there's a reason why these mean these attacks haven't
occurred, sense
in the same style. You know
he may have just simply moved on to a different form of robbery,
moved on to a different skies in a different area? Not you
in shopping malls, as is hunting ground the sea,
like such a weird thing: if this is your way of robbing people, but
you said it for five or six hundred dollars, and it's it's
seems to me. Even though he's taken a lot of precautions, it seems to me to be very high risk, its broad daylight
a parking lot. He could be seen by multiple people to be seen on camera yet, unless, unless he has, you know some kind of foresight or or knows ahead of time that he can't be seen at that angle or or in that portion of the parking lot but you're right, it's high risk
Daylight could be seen on camera in the parking lot could be seen on camera at the
tm machines,
then leaves some people alive which are
He takes a high risk situation in you know
it gives an idea tat my final
captain is. I think this case is still very solvable, can area it was
It was nice
nice and refreshing to see that case, for
two thousand and seven that there,
new information coming out in two thousand and fifteen just last year, so
fresh in people's minds and they got some leads
on the seven year old victim on the third case. Her name was joey and they have a
sure of her. The detectives do
detectives that were working on these cases, they had daughters around the same age. So they really take this case personally and
Not going stop, you know, so they have a picture of her
to remind them why they're doing their job and they're gonna keep looking
yeah. They said that this case is personal and
they followed up on over two thousand leaves as of this date, and that day
might just need one more they might
need one more lead and there
follow up on all the leads until they solve this case.
going to see something happened. What they're saying I think we're gonna see a break, keeping
they have, they have some forensics. You know they obviously have something here, because they are saying that they have things it might not linked the first case to the second and third, so they have some forensics here
They have the lead of knowing that these, if ties came from either were shipped or were purchased or distributed from that miami dade county area. So they had that lead so late
and they have a living witness pickup.
probably idea the person or
be able to tell you, you know hate that? Yes, that's his voice or no that's not his voice. You know
They have plenty of stuff to go on here and I think that if they get the right break, if they get the right led this,
could be soft torture.
gut feeling on.
One two and three: are they all connected? Well, got fees
Obviously, two and three definitely one hundred
connected
the first one is a tough one to me. It feels more like a hit. It feels more like a quick abduction. Was somebody trying to get rid of somebody that they possibly knew the other thing. There, though, is it or was that just somebody honing their skills. They didn't really know what they were doing and
first situation in it and got kind out of hand, real quick and he couldn't control the situation and in an
Basically developing. The idea here is no
I come up with this idea that I'm going rob people arm carjack them at the mall, I'm going
take them to the atm machine. I'm gonna get quick money that I'm gonna drop back off. There might not be,
killing involved at all, but now use
miles away after carjack this lady and she doesn't have an atm card. So ok, what
act. Do I do now. I panic. I shoot her throughout dump the car. When I go
the next time
I don't want to go through that whole killing. Then again I let them go.
The third one possibly gets out a hand again
either way it's all sad
I got feeling is that there are connected
I could see you. I could see a strong argument for that. But if the detectives are saying that there is no forensic link, then
they're probably have something that I just don't know,
said something that we would. They have not made public. Hopefully
captain the police and the investigators get that lead that they're waiting for that their hoping and praying for that they get that lead soon and we hope to hear that
break that we're wanting in this case, and if we here
thing will update. You said
the sad case for sure
recommended breeding for this week. Yes, captain
