career in entertainment film and graphic novels the storyline is about when a new
00:00:35
planet enters our solar system took up with this woman jana kasi an i think for a lot of women
00:00:43
Blake was a good catch Jana was raised in Ukraine she was a very curious and adventurous seeking type of person she
00:00:55
fell in love with la shared her experiences with her mother did she think that this man was the man she
00:01:05
wanted to marry and have children with you or not yes I was in agreement with her she really wanted to have a baby he
00:01:15

00:01:42
game called Molly's game which later became a movie I was in a room with movie stars directors and business
00:01:50
Titans they were going all in all the time there were a number of high rolling poker players who were part of this game

apartment nothing on the phone prepared us for what we were walking into and I asked them where's my daughter and they
00:02:57
didn't answer it's hard to talk about it without kind of gagging it's not often that a 48-hours correspondent would
00:03:05
caution a homicide detective I bought the language they used to describe a crime scene the blood
00:03:14
evidence in this case told me that this was a prolonged and brutal crime the deeper you dig the more mysterious it
00:03:22
becomes this case reads like a movie script it's just more like a horror movie
