00:01:41
just before 1pm a church member stops in to buy tickets for an upcoming event [Music]
00:01:51

00:02:01
her skull split open nancy survives but within two weeks police discover that her husband thomas
00:02:10
has been cheating on her while nancy recovers in the hospital he even moves his mistress into their home
00:02:19
there are two other potential suspects but thomas drake is arrested for attempting to murder his wife
00:02:27
i did not beat nancy i could not beat nancy i'm not that type of a person i never have been
00:02:34
i've never been one to fight anybody i've always turned from fights it's not me
00:02:41
thomas drake was convicted solely on circumstantial evidence nancy was the only witness but the
00:02:49
severe blows to her head erased all memory of the attack the prosecution refused to participate
00:02:56
in this story but it maintains that thomas drake is guilty when nancy and thomas drake moved to
00:03:06
florida one of the first things they did was to join the local church nancy sang in the choir and worked as
00:03:13
the church secretary thomas was a truck driver who tape recorded the church services every
00:03:19
sunday i just loved doing whatever i could at the church it was not unusual for me to work 60
00:03:29
hours seven days a week but i loved every moment of it the concert is on saturday night
00:03:35
thomas says nancy's devotion to the church was taking a toll on their nine-year marriage they even talked
00:03:42
about a separation nancy got so involved in everything she thought everything that happened it
00:03:48
couldn't be done without her i was very unhappy with with our relationship at home
00:03:56
i didn't have a wife anymore she wasn't there for me the day of the attack nancy was busier
00:04:05
than usual selling tickets to a church concert she didn't have time to break for lunch
00:04:10
so thomas brought it to her i arrived at the church approximately 15 after 12. there was a green station
00:04:20
wagon parked there with a white-haired gentleman in it that i'd never seen before
00:04:25
but i didn't think too much about it because there was a lot of people attended church that i didn't know
00:04:31
hi tom brought you lunch thank you i went inside and nancy said i'll be right
00:04:35
back and went to the back of the church somewhere you just miss mary oh i'll give her a
00:04:41
call nancy returned to her office uh yeah at that point i left the church and it was right at 12 30 then
00:04:52
at 1 15 the pastor called thomas at home he said that nancy had bumped her head and had gone to the hospital
00:05:01
but when thomas got there he learned that his wife was an intensive kid i just can't be very optimistic when i
00:05:08
finally got in to see her her face was swollen so bad her eyes were shut her head was bigger than a basketball you
00:05:14
know it was just stumbled he didn't look like a human being and i couldn't believe that anybody
00:05:19
could beat anybody that bad at the church police found the safe and nancy's office open and empty
00:05:28
they later found the weapon used to beat her a claw toothed hammer there were no
00:05:32
fingerprints on it outside an office window they found a muddy footprint and inside they found a
00:05:40
fingerprint on the door it belonged to a local man this person lived in the area
00:05:45
was a formal mental patient and had no explanation for why his fingerprints would have been on the door
00:05:53
another possible suspect was a white-haired man one of the parishioners noticed at the church that morning
00:06:01
this may have been the same man that thomas saw when he brought nancy her lunch the police came up with this composite
00:06:09
sketch and issued an all points bulleted the police hope that nancy would be able
00:06:16
to tell him who assaulted her but after the attack her memory and her ability to
00:06:21
speak were severely impaired three weeks later the drakes had a conversation that would come back to
00:06:29
haunt thomas i want to go home now no nancy you can't just leave the hospital without the doctor's permission
00:06:39
you don't care about me you know that's not true how would you like it if i hit you on
00:06:45
your habit the police officer on duty overheard the conversation she thought it sounded like nancy was
00:06:55
accusing thomas of attacking her her interpretation was that nancy said i had hit her on the head
00:07:03
at that point she could not speak without getting her words all messed up she would say one word for another and
00:07:09
she said how would you like them to be hit on your habit they interpreted it as me hitting her
00:07:16
[Music] police put drake under 24-hour surveillance what is this kid i didn't see anything in the report
00:07:26
about a kid atta boy come on back at me hi guys police learned that thomas had been
00:07:33
having an affair for almost a year and investigators were shocked to discover that only two weeks after his wife was
00:07:41
attacked thomas invited his girlfriend and her child to move into his home he had met the woman we'll call her judy
00:07:50
on one of his trucking runs to fort lauderdale police stopped following other leads
00:07:59
thomas drake became their prime suspect i was trying to help this lady out she was coming here to live there i needed
00:08:07
somebody stay at the house somebody to care for it i said you do it looking back i can see how it looked
00:08:14
at the time i didn't think anything about it at that point the only thing i could care about was nancy getting
00:08:19
well getting out you know the hospital i didn't even think about it i really
00:08:24
didn't thomas drake yeah i'm detective kirkland ask officer carlton how are you doing
00:08:30
this evening we'd like to take you down to the station please uh uh yeah sure
00:08:34
what what for we're placing you under arrest for the attempted murder what's
00:08:37
going on here no in addition to arresting thomas police took his girlfriend judy and her son to
00:08:46
the police station thomas agreed to be questioned without an attorney present that
00:08:54
was a mistake i've already heard nancy i don't want to hurt judy i just want to drag judy into
00:09:00
this mess and he said then you cooperate with us and you tell us how you beat nancy i
00:09:06
said i didn't beat nancy he said well you just said you heard her and i said
00:09:10
yes but i'm telling you by getting a divorce and splitting up i said that was
00:09:15
enough hurt for her i said i've done her enough harm i meant i said i didn't
00:09:19
physically hurt her and i couldn't i couldn't do that to anybody i woke up the other night
00:09:25
screaming thomas said that he had dreamed of nancy calling out to him saying no tom no
00:09:31
also he admitted that he agreed in theory with the police hypothesis that it was possible for him to have
00:09:38
attacked his wife and then blocked all memory of it police felt that both statements suggested thomas was guilty i
00:09:45
don't know why there was a portion of the tape recorded statement that tom gave to the police when tom's denial
00:09:52
sounds like a hypothetical one and it was only after the detectives took him to hypothetical questions that they got
00:09:58
him to say i don't believe i could have committed this how crime have you known tom
00:10:05
police also questioned thomas's mistress judy you were planning on living with
00:10:10
tom yes did you know he's married no he told me he was divorced judy would eventually become a witness for the
00:10:20
prosecution thomas was charged with robbery and attempted murder and then his attorney brought an offer
00:10:29
from the prosecutor he's agreed to drop the charges of attempted murder and robbery if you plead guilty to grand
00:10:35
theft he said the only reason they offered this they know they don't have any
00:10:39
evidence against you and they're hunting a way out i said well i'm not going to plead
00:10:44
guilty to something i didn't do he said that's all i need to hear and that was it
00:10:51
i turned it down coming up nancy's memory returns and she thinks that she can identify her
00:11:00
attacker was it thomas thomas drake was about to go on trial for attacking his wife nancy and it was
00:11:16
known that thomas had been having an affair yet nancy stood by him she even visited
00:11:22
him in jail i'm happy that you came i wasn't sure that you would don't be
00:11:28
silly i'm here because i want to be the term that i knew did not do it and that's the reason why i wanted to go
00:11:36
visit him because that side of tom yes i loved him the other side of tom that was have an
00:11:44
affair i didn't know him and like any other human being i can honestly say that side of him i hate it
00:11:54
at the trial nancy didn't testify because she had no memory of the attack the prosecution's case was based
00:12:02
primarily on circumstantial evidence i've already heard nancy i don't want to
00:12:07
hurt judy the jury heard the tape of thomas's interrogation they also learned that the day before
00:12:14
the attack thomas had been in the church equipment room working with the same hammer that
00:12:21
was later used to bludgeon nancy but the most damaging testimony came from judy his former mistress and could you tell
00:12:30
the jury the progress of your relationship it became gradual like friendly and then
00:12:36
became more personal according to thomas judy's testimony was not given freely
00:12:43
and you could be charged as his accomplice hi i haven't been involved in anything when
00:12:50
she was taken to the police station the night of my arrest they told her if you don't cooperate with us and testify
00:12:56
against him we will take your son if not i can't guarantee when you're going to
00:13:00
see your son i said you haven't done anything she said but they threatened he said if
00:13:04
i don't cooperate with him they're going to take my son and arrest me and that was the last conversation i'd
00:13:11
had with her did he ever tell you that he'd gotten a divorce yes what were your plans
00:13:18
that he was going to take care of us from now on and i wouldn't have to work
00:13:21
i could stay home and raise my son it's very difficult for the jury not to see
00:13:27
tom drake in the context of all of his sins living two lives while nancy was in the hospital not just having an affair
00:13:34
but bringing the woman home to their home the jury found thomas drake guilty but a few days later his attorney got a
00:13:45
surprise phone call from nancy her memory of the attack had returned i remember a white man with white hair
00:13:56
and thick glasses he was a tall slender person who wanted some tickets for the church concert uh
00:14:03
yeah morning i like a couple of tickets for the cotch they're five dollars each so that would
00:14:08
be ten dollars just go down oh um nancy said the man wanted to pay for the tickets with a hundred dollar
00:14:16
bill but she didn't have enough change he convinced her to go to the equipment
00:14:21
room and open the safe i went down to the safe and i opened it and just after i'd done that he came back
00:14:33
and hit me [Music] the last thing i remember is that i should have never opened the safe
00:14:45
nancy told the judge her story and he agreed to give thomas a new trial once again thomas was offered a plea
00:14:54
bargain and once again he rejected it thomas believed that nancy's testimony
00:15:00
would clear his name nancy drake tom drake's wife says that tom did not attack her
00:15:08
and i expect her to come before you and testify as to her memory of these events
00:15:13
i don't know if i can do this however just moments before she was due to take
00:15:17
the stand nancy's memory suddenly failed her medication had been changed the day
00:15:23
before and she couldn't tell the difference between what she had been told and what she
00:15:28
actually remembered the pressure she felt of tom spade her husband's fate being on her shoulder was
00:15:35
such that emotionally she was not capable able to testify call your next witness please defense
00:15:44
rest john thomas's lawyer was forced to rest this case without calling nancy to the stand
00:15:52
and without nancy's testimony the jury had every reason to believe that thomas was guilty
00:16:00
count one we the jury fined us to the defendant thomas eugene drake guilty of attempted second-degree murder
00:16:07
with a weapon it was just unbelievable that with no evidence they could return a verdict
00:16:13
that way but they did the jury the state played totally upon their emotions of this
00:16:20
affair i was having with another woman and that's the only thing they convicted
00:16:24
me of the guilty verdict came as a major shock to thomas but even a bigger shock came
00:16:32
the day he was sentenced the sentencing guidelines called for a five-year sentence
00:16:38
and the judge decided that five years wasn't enough he then gave me life with no parole
00:16:45
plus 30 years to run consecutive which means i will never get out of prison nancy returned to her hometown in
00:16:55
indiana and remarried it's been over 25 years since the attack and she still
00:17:01
can't work and doesn't remember anything about that day i don't know whether he's guilty or not
00:17:08
don't rightfully give a darn either he deserves to be where he is not for trying to kill me
00:17:16
because i honestly don't know whether he did or not but just for everything he had done
00:17:24
previously today thomas drake lives behind the razor wire at a prison in florida
00:17:30
while he serves his life sentence he has filed a number of appeals so far all have been denied
00:17:40
coming up he's been hired to manage a company's finances what they don't know is that he's a
00:17:46
master con man baton rouge louisiana when brent trouth decided to sell his nissan sports car he found the perfect
00:18:07
buyer john maggio all maggio needed to seal the deal was a cashier's check and brent agreed to
00:18:14
drive him to the bank during the short trip the conversation was friendly yeah and the bank should be
00:18:20
right over right over here and then without warning brent suddenly found himself on the wrong end of a gun
00:18:29
fighting for his life he had the meanest look on his face cold-blooded killer he pulled the gun to the right
00:18:39
and it went on the side of my leg the bullet went on the side of my leg and came out on the corner by my kneecap
00:18:45
and that's when i bit him on his shoulder and he let go of the gun and i threw the
00:18:51
gun out of the car stop the car i'm not gonna stop laughing i said stop the car
00:18:57
maggio dove out the passenger side door and brent drove himself to the hospital he nearly lost his leg
00:19:09
the next day police arrested john maggio and charged him with attempted murder to those who
00:19:15
knew him the attack came as no big surprise maggio had always been troubled [Music]
00:19:24
john maggio spent five years in prison and was released on parole he immediately went to mobile alabama
00:19:31
where family connections helped him land a job in a typical display of bravado maggio
00:19:37
had listed his prison jobs on his resume failing of course to mention that he was
00:19:43
behind bars at the time [Music] at his new job maggio processed payroll accounts for ships in dock a job that
00:19:53
involved handling large amounts of cash the owners of the vessel would wire us the money that the captain requested
00:20:02
and then we would make out the receipts bring the cash down to the captain he would sit there and count it out and
00:20:08
then sign the receipt and you'd be done maggio fit in right away and got along with everybody
00:20:17
we just went overboard to be nice you would he was just super he was outgoing when you talked to me
00:20:26
you felt like you'd known him forever that's just how he made you feel molly perez was churned by maggio
00:20:32
after a whirlwind romance the couple decided to get married sure my aunt will show up
00:20:39
molly had a four-year-old daughter from a previous marriage and maggio appeared to love her like his own
00:20:45
but according to molly's mother the relationship was rocky and sometimes violent
00:20:52
molly never told me that he was abusive but her daughter did and she was terrified of john
00:21:00
terrified in front of us he acted like the doton stepfather but when he was away from us it was a
00:21:08
different story it turned out that maggio had a lot of people fooled including this bank
00:21:15
officer who asked not to be identified he called to inquire how long it would take me to get 197 000. you know and i
00:21:24
told him i need to know by tuesday to have it in by towards the end of the week police believe maggio snuck back
00:21:31
into his office after hours [Music] unlocked the filing cabinet then walked out with a blank check
00:21:42
good morning miss henderson he then showed up at the bank with a forged check for
00:21:48
197 000 it was a well established account he was a well-known person to be you know
00:21:56
responsible for picking up and calling in the orders and the signature was a match
00:22:01
the bank officer said maggio was friendly but nervous maggio explained his behavior by saying
00:22:08
that a co-worker had been killed doing a similar term moments later maggio calmly walked out
00:22:15
of the bank and simply disappeared for that green shipping the next day maggio's office received a
00:22:26
disturbing phone call from company headquarters the accountant that manages all the
00:22:32
money he asked me we had written any big checks and of course i said no so he said look for this check number so i
00:22:39
went and looked and the check was missing so i went back to the phone and i said
00:22:45
yes the check is gone and i said how much money is gone and he said 197 thousand dollars
00:22:54
and i said god meanwhile molly left her daughter with her mother and prepared to leave town
00:23:03
she was protecting us and her daughter because i know now that molly knew just how evil he was
00:23:11
and is police say molly left with maggio in a brand new suv which he bought with some of the stolen
00:23:20
money four months later the couple turned up in new york using the names rick and sarah parker
00:23:30

00:23:39
everyone not only to my husband and you know myself and my family members but to the
00:23:46
neighbors as well over the next year maggio bounced from one job to another before landing a sales position with a
00:23:56
rare autographed dealer in manhattan but it wasn't long before majo was up to his old tricks
00:24:05
can i help you yes you may maggio had attempted to cash a fifteen hundred dollar check
00:24:12
and the place where he was trying to cash it contacted the employer and he said no he
00:24:16
does not have the authority to cash a check in that amount cash checks here all the time uh sir for
00:24:22
this amount i need an authorization maggio never showed back up at that company the individual had an audit done of his
00:24:31
records and determined that maggio on 14 different occasions had written one thousand dollar checks which were forged
00:24:40
and which were basically embezzlements from the company by the time the police were notified
00:24:47
maggio and molly were longed on early in the morning it must have been like 6 30 in the morning i suddenly get
00:24:55
a phone call from maggio hello hey there it's rick and he was like oh i'm taking molly to the hospital she's
00:25:04
very sick watch the dog i left the key underneath the mat nanette was surprised and concerned for
00:25:12
molly but before she could ask any questions maggio hung up the phone i'll give you a
00:25:17
call later right there all the cards started falling right into place something is
00:25:26
very fishy sarah nanette was suspicious so she went down to check on her tenants
00:25:35
[Music] the apartment was trashed and the maggios were gone detectives later discovered that mali
00:25:46

pilots at an air force base in louisiana one of these pilots was soon van wynn and he ended up with especially close
00:26:48
ties to america soon van wynn was 2 000 miles from home he recalls feeling lonely and displaced
00:27:01
until a local family the galtiers befriended him they had six children and their eldest
00:27:08
son was stationed in vietnam mrs gautier was thinking about her son being a foreigner in vietnam
00:27:18
because of that she helped us on the weekends so that we feel comfortable just like we were in our own country
00:27:27
gwendolyn one of the gautier's daughters was the same age as soon before long
00:27:33
they had fallen in love after seven months soon's training was complete he and gwendolyn shared one
00:27:41
final night together before saying goodbye i don't want you to go we could go to canada or something gwen
00:27:50
why not because of my honor as an officer in the air force i could not desert my
00:27:57
countrymen and so i said to gwen i have to go within weeks soon was flying combat
00:28:15
missions in vietnam he received many letters from gwendolyn what one would forever change his life
00:28:26
gwen was pregnant with their child late in august gwendolyn gave birth to a healthy baby girl and named her kimberly
00:28:47
karen [Music] more than five years passed with soon unable to see his daughter finally his luck changed
00:28:57
[Music] soon was sent back to the base in louisiana for more training he was uncertain how the gautiers would react
00:29:09
to his arrival i i don't believe it soon hello mrs cartier mrs gautier arranged for soon to visit
00:29:21
gwendolyn who was now married and living in houston texas can't believe this is
00:29:48
this child had waited so long to see but the situation simply did not allow it gwendolyn and kimberly returned to
00:29:57
louisiana for the rest of soon's assignment for nearly a month kimberly lived with her grandmother and soon
00:30:04
spent every free moment with his daughter soon did not know that mrs gautier had
00:30:13
told kimberly that he was her father what'd you say daddy why you calling me that because you are
00:30:23
how do you know that okay then kim said because her hair was black her eyes were black
00:30:31
and her skin was dark skinned and she was especially proud to point out that she had a flat nose
00:30:38
an asian nose finally the day came that soon dreaded gwendolyn had to take kimberly back to
00:30:48
houston soon knew he might never see his daughter again we got to go i didn't know if i would ever see my
00:30:59
daughter again i couldn't control myself i broke down and cried and that's the truth
00:31:12
shortly after soon returned to the war when saigon fell he was incarcerated at a communist re-education camp for the
00:31:24
next 10 years after his release soon remarried had two children and eventually immigrated to
00:31:32
the united states he immediately started to look for kimberly because of that time we had we have a
00:31:45
beautiful memory in common i believe it is possible that beautiful memory kim and i share
00:31:52
has engraved itself on her mind so whenever kim thinks of her father she knows that i wish only the best for her
00:32:01
i care about her she understands me and knows that i really love her update the night this story aired we received
00:32:15
calls from kimberly's friends and family they told us that kimberly lived in
00:32:20
pineville louisiana and that she was thrilled to learn that her dad was looking for her
00:32:26
a few days later soon traveled to louisiana for a reunion with kimberly they had not seen each other
00:32:34
for 20 years [Music] when vietnam i never i know everything i can not i can't meet her
00:32:50

00:33:12
great later that day soon celebrated with kimberly's family including her mother
00:33:20
wendell to see them together is just a dream come true a fairy tale that uh had had some bad detours but it came to
00:33:32
a happy ending i knew that wherever he was that he loved me and i was always certain in my heart that one day we
00:33:42

00:33:54
coming up two young coeds on opposite sides of the country mysteriously vanish on a previous broadcast we asked for
00:34:12
your help in finding michael wayne brown a ruthless killer who escaped from an oklahoma prison
00:34:20
what are you doing here brown then 18 years old was committing a burglary with another teenager when an
00:34:26
employee stopped by to pick up a file brown was put on oklahoma's death row for murdering richard sullivan
00:34:39
however the sentence was later commuted to life without parole nine years into brown's sentence a
00:34:46
lonely widow named donna moses began writing him letters as part of her church group's attempt to help convicts
00:34:53
find spiritual comfort they quickly became more than just pen pals hi hi i'm michael i know
00:35:04
she was lonely and she needed that companionship someone you know to talk to her about things and show her love
00:35:11
and affection and that's what she got from him you michael wayne brown think
00:35:15
this woman would be your lovely white wife three months later they were married i do
00:35:23
brown was transferred to a minimum security prison where he and another inmate jumped a
00:35:28
four foot fence and escaped let's go let's go donna drove the getaway car
00:35:35
for 15 years authorities investigated tips until finally one paid off update an unsolved mysteries viewer saw brown's
00:35:47
photograph on our website i couldn't believe it it looked like him but my mind said it's not him but the
00:35:55
picture said it was him greg knew donna and michael brown as linda and kenneth ginter
00:36:01
they owned the local video store in a quiet suburb of kettering ohio in fact greg's wife worked there
00:36:08
he'd never know he was a murderer he was like an icon of the community everybody
00:36:13
liked him the kids would come in here and high-fiving me give him candy and super nice guy
00:36:19
a few minutes after seeing the photo greg got a call from kenneth ginter the phone rings and it was him
00:36:27
and he was asking my wife to work that night i told him that i seen a guy on a computer that looked like him and i said
00:36:33
michael wayne brown and he kind of got quiet for a minute and he says well greg everybody has a twin
00:36:38
so i left it at that michael wayne brown surrendered to authorities when he realized that he had
00:36:45
been identified he was returned to prison to serve out his life term plus additional time for the escape
00:36:53
donna wasn't charged with any crime authorities believe that she was a victim of brown's clever
00:37:00
manipulation eighteen-year-old april gregory and nineteen-year-old kristen smart never
00:37:10
met they were enrolled at different universities on opposite sides of the country
00:37:16
yet within the same five-hour period they were both suddenly gone no warning no explanation
00:37:29
syracuse university april gregory took her schoolwork very seriously when she finished her freshman year she
00:37:39
immediately enrolled in the summer session on an ordinary spring night april's
00:37:45
brother lamar dropped her off at her door i helped people with her bags to the front of the dormitory
00:37:54
and that was the last i saw april walked up these steps entered these doors under the watchful
00:38:02
eyes of dorm officials and went to her seventh floor room that's all anyone knows
00:38:12
a short time later police searched april's room they discovered that when she
00:38:18
disappeared she had not finished unpacking and in the closet only one clue her work uniform was missing
00:38:27
[Music] this was the path that april normally took to her job at a local restaurant
00:38:33
but that night she never arrived at work really did she miss her very really i just knew something bad happened to my
00:38:42
baby and almost at the same moment that april gregory disappeared another young woman mysteriously
00:38:52
vanished three thousand miles away nineteen-year-old kristen smart was a freshman at cal poly state university in
00:39:01
san luis obispo about the same time april should have been heading to work in new york
00:39:08
kristen was walking along this road in california she was returning to her dorm after a
00:39:14
party she was not alone nineteen-year-old paul flores was also a freshman at cal poly
00:39:22
he had offered to walk kristin home after the party [Music] an eyewitness saw paul and kristen at
00:39:29
this corner paul told police that kristen went to her dorm and he crossed the street to
00:39:35
his kristen phoned home every sunday religiously and when that sunday passed and she
00:39:42
hadn't phoned i knew something was wrong [Music] police and volunteers searched the
00:39:52
campus for kristin but they didn't find a clue then cadaver search dogs were taken
00:39:59
through the dorms those dogs hit on this room run room 128 on the cal poly campus
00:40:07
and specifically came into this room and hit on this mattress and the corner of this mattress this room was occupied by
00:40:14
the male subject that was last seen with kristin smart that male subject was paul florey's
00:40:23
authorities became suspicious of flory's statement that he and kristen had gone
00:40:28
home separately when they got to approximately here he says he continued into his dorm which
00:40:36
is up the hill and she left and went up between the two dorms to her dorm however we believe that
00:40:44
based on what we've learned from the search dogs she actually continued into his dorm
00:40:49
with him at this time kristen smart is still considered a missing person we never give up hope that kristen will
00:41:00
be found but as any parent can imagine the longer that it goes on the dimmer the light
00:41:06
and you can only hope april gregory's family feels the same way there's a neighbor girl she resembles
00:41:17
equals a lot and i'd be in the kitchen sometimes she walks in the house with my
00:41:21
heart flutter because i'd be hoping it's my april and i feel so disappointed with
00:41:24
us now everything brings people to my mind i don't cry as much as i used to but the pain still did i
00:41:33
me with miss our daughter update there are new developments in this case and here's one of our staff with details
00:41:45
more than a year later april gregory's former boyfriend terence evans was charged with her murder
00:41:52
evans is currently in prison serving 25 years to life in the case of kristin smart paul flores
00:42:00
was ultimately arrested in 2021 and charged with kristen's murder his father
00:42:06
ruben flores was also arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact they have both pleaded not guilty and
00:42:13
await trial [Music] you
