this surveillance video shows a murder suspect moments after they allegedly stabbed investigative journalist Jeff
00:00:05
Gman on his property in Las Vegas you could see in the surveillance video from across the street that someone an as
00:00:13
salant came into his yard went to the left side of his house went inside the gate shut the gate then we see Jeff
00:00:21
moments later opening his garage door and he was instantly ambushed when he turned the corner to where that person
00:00:29
was lying in weight in the video you can kind of see a struggle but Jeff ultimately falls to
00:00:39
the ground and he never gets up what happened to him in that attack Jeff was stabbed he was stabbed seven
00:00:48
times four times in the neck three in the Torso seven stab wounds did that suggest what kind of a killing this was
00:00:57
to me this was a very personal attack just stabbed someone in such a short time viciously seven
00:01:04
times with no warning Gman had worked at the Las Vegas Review Journal after garan's murder the review journal's
00:01:12
executive editor Glenn cook asked the assistant managing editor for investigations Ronda prast for a short
00:01:18
list of possible suspects one of the names I gave him was Robert Tellis and who is Robert Tellus he was a clerk
00:01:26
County elected official in charge of the public administrator office which handles Estates of people who were
00:01:33
deceased four women who worked at the public administrator's office reached out to Gan and told them that their boss
00:01:39
Robert Tellus harassed bullied and physically intimidated them the women also told Garmin about an alleged
00:01:45
inappropriate relationship between Tellus and a subordinate in the office Tellus and his subordinate deny these
00:01:51
claims Gan would go on to publish four articles about T's alleged misconduct when police released the surveillance
00:01:58
video of the suspect walking in garan's neighborhood from the morning of the murder review journal photographer Kevin
00:02:04
Cannon noticed something about the suspect's walk how would you describe that gate
00:02:11
it's it's a bit of a a limp and a favor on one side it seems Kevin Went digging in his files and found this a walking
00:02:18
shot he had taken of Robert Tellus when Jeff interviewed him at his office the staff compared both videos side by
00:02:28
side I'm not sure how to describe it but it was definitely The Identical gate in my mind
00:02:34
Glenn cook says his staff moved forward on the operating theory that Robert Tellis could have been the killer but
00:02:40
they still didn't have hard evidence then the police released a photo of the suspect's car a maroon Yukon Denali show
00:02:47
me what you did but you just type in the address you pull up the Google Street View assistant City editor David Ferrara
00:02:55
immediately typed tales's home address into Google Earth and if he's zoom in on the house that maroon vehicle is there
00:03:04
parked in the driveway the maroon SUV was registered to tell us his wife we have every reason to believe at this
00:03:12
point that it's only a matter of time before a search warrant is going to be executed at that house in the early
00:03:18
morning of September 7th 2022 just 5 days after Jeff garman's murder tus was brought in for questioning as police
00:03:26
searched his home and cars while he was in custody Detective collected a DNA sample from Tellus they also took the
00:03:33
jeans he was wearing into evidence and gave him a white paper suit to change into before he was taken back to his
00:03:39
house and swarmed by reporters eagerly awaiting his arrival did you do this did you murder
00:03:47
did you do this tell us anything inside ts's home investigators say they found gym shoes in a duffel bag similar to
00:03:54
what was seen in the surveillance video and when they looked in the garage detectives say they discovered CED what
00:04:00
was left of a straw sun hat the sun hat the sun hat cut up into pieces yes but police say the most crucial piece of
00:04:08
evidence would come from the DNA sample that was taken from Telles earlier that day we received positive DNA results
00:04:15
that showed Robert ts's DNA at the crime scene ts's DNA was under Jeff's fingernails there's no doubt in my mind
00:04:24
that Jeff knew exactly what was happening in that Split Second and he made sure he got the evidence telis was
00:04:32
arrested and charged with gan's murder he has since pleaded not guilty did you murder Jeff Gman no sir I did
00:04:45
not
