00:00:04
from our standpoint Stan was a was an excellent victim because his memory was so
00:00:12
good he told the story the same way each time from start to finish with with a great deal of detail he remembers that
00:00:20
he was near the airport because he heard planes flying low or that he remembers the tile pattern on the on the floor in
00:00:27
the lobby of the building that they took him to the the kidnappers had given him
00:00:31
$20 to get a cab back to his apartment um he took that $20 bill and put it in his pocket and tried to preserve it with
00:00:39
for fingerprint evidence the probably the two most important leads that panned out from Stan were Stan's description of
00:00:46
the vehicle as a as a 1998 Lexus um dark color and the cell phone we ran all the
00:00:52
1998 lexuses in New York City and the southern counties and um and came up with maybe 20 names they turn turned out
00:01:00
to be a similar crime that happened in Manhattan where a guy was taken and his name was Steve one of the things taken
00:01:08
from Steve was a cell phone that Stan had heard the kidnappers talking about they gave a partial number five or six
00:01:14
digits and Stan remembered those numbers so we got the records of Steve's cell phone number and all the numbers that
00:01:21
had been called from that phone and found another cell phone that was connected to the same person that owned
00:01:27
Alexus so that's the first lead that that brought us to Lucky so now we have lucky owning Alexis and we have Lucky's
00:01:34
cell phone number being dialed from the cell phone that belongs to a robbery victim from two nights before I guess it
00:01:42
was pretty unusual for somebody to to keep that good a track of Clues but then you got to remember too you're he's a
00:01:49
prosecutor he's taking cases like this to court and he knows that that you don't know what part of
00:01:56
the evidence is going to be important until you start doing the investigation you know he's trying to remember
00:02:03
everything because he doesn't know what's going to be the important part and the details are what solved the case
