I'm Peter Vans and on the next 48 hours, a story from my hometown, Seattle, Washington. It was a case, a murder case
00:00:08
that was so shocking, my own mom called me about it. I'm in a place right now that few people get to
00:00:14
go. This is the evidence warehouse at the Seattle PD. And these two vehicles here back in August 2012 were involved
00:00:24
in a deadly incident. There were five shots fired from this BMW into this Subaru, killing Yansy
00:00:32
Null, a beloved wine stewart. One of the bullets came through and shattered the glass. And that bullet ended up going
00:00:39
into someone's apartment, an elderly couple, where it ended up in a picture frame. That sounds bizarre. Well, this
00:00:46
case gets bizarre. At first, cops thought this must be a case of road rage. But then a suspect emerged, an
00:00:56
intellectually gifted young man, and cops believe he became fascinated with murder, became a student of murder, and
00:01:04
that this killing was his final exam. That accused killer takes the stand in a dramatic trial that has a very powerful
00:01:15
ending. That's the next 48, and it's one to remember.
