00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Thursday, November thirteenth,

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.600
twenty twenty five. Some days we cover the trials, the courtrooms,

3
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.600
the verdicts, the sentences, the legal process playing out the

4
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.280
way it's supposed to. Other days, we just have to

5
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.320
tell you about the crazy crimes happening out there, because

6
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.559
sometimes the stories are too wild, too stupid, too terrifying

7
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.840
to ignore. Today's one of those days. Florida eighteen year

8
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.600
old runs over pedestrian's head repeatedly, back and forth, leaves

9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.320
the scene. Google's Ways to cover up a hit and

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.920
run two hours later, smart enough to commit attempted murder,

11
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.079
too stupid to know, Google saves everything. Pennsylvania twenty one

12
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.640
year old entitled brat driving a one hundred and eighty

13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.359
six thousand dollars Mercedes g Wagon. Routine traffic stop, refuses

14
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.399
to pull over him to hotel parking lot. He rams

15
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.760
police cruiser. Officer gets out, kid accelerates directly at him.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.079
Officer opens fire, Kid hits him anyway, then circles back

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.599
and runs him over three more times while the cops

18
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.239
on the ground bleeding hits another patrol car finally gets

19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:23.480
arrested his father, high powered attorney. His mugshot smiling and Houston.

20
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.599
Since twenty seventeen, one hundred and eighty nine bodies pulled

21
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.640
from the city's bayous, seventy five deaths marked unexplained, seventeen

22
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.560
ruled homicides. Officials keep saying there's no serial killer, but

23
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.640
almost two hundred bodies in eight years. Make it make sense.

24
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.680
Plus Ditty update caught drinking homemade prison moonshine despite telling

25
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.079
the judge he's been sober for the first time in

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.280
twenty five years. Your tax dollars at work, I'm reed, Carter.

27
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.000
This is celebrity trials today. When Google searches become confessions,

28
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.439
when privilege meets attempted murder, and when bodies keep piling

29
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.280
up but no, but he's looking for patterns. Lock your doors.

30
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:10.240
This is celebrity trials. Quick check in on Sean Dittycomb's

31
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.479
We've covered his case extensively. July trial. Convicted of transportation

32
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.599
for prostitution, Acquitted on the serious charges sex trafficking, racketeering,

33
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.159
Sentenced to four years, currently serving time at Fort Dix,

34
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.639
New Jersey. Remember during his trial did he repeatedly told

35
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.800
the court he was sober first time in twenty five years,

36
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.120
said prison gave him clarity, blamed substances for losing his way,

37
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.520
wrote letters to the judge the old me died in

38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.960
jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison

39
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.520
will change you or kill you. I choose to live.

40
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.120
Said he'd gone through a spiritual reset, was committed to

41
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:55.639
remaining drug free, nonviolent, peaceful, the whole redemption arc well

42
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.400
TMZ reports did. He was caught last week drinking homemade

43
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.080
prison moonshih Panta sugar and apples, left to ferment for

44
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.560
weeks prison hooch Classic. Authorities considered moving him to a

45
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.879
different facility, but decided against it, so he stays at

46
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.400
Fort Dix, where he secured a job in the laundry department,

47
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.919
making friends, holding court in the yard, apparently making moonshine

48
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.280
on the side. This matters because Ditty's lawyers had asked

49
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.360
the judge to transfer him to Fort Dix specifically for

50
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.639
the drug treatment program. Said he needed to address substance

51
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.080
abuse issues, that rehab would help reduce his sentence through

52
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.360
good behavior credits, but if he's caught drinking prison alcohol,

53
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:40.840
those privileges disappear. No early release, No good time credits,

54
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.520
just straight time. Ditty's already served fourteen months of his

55
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.039
fifty month sentence, set to be released May eighth, twenty

56
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.400
twenty eight. But that assumes he stays clean, stays out

57
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.800
of trouble, completes the treatment program, getting caught with prison

58
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.759
Moonshine doesn't exactly scream committed to sobriety. Also, President Trump said,

59
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.879
did he asked him for a pardon? Trump said he's

60
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.400
considering it, but more likely a no, given Ditty's conviction

61
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.680
was for prostitution, not the trafficking charges. Trump's previous comments

62
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.240
that Ditty is sort of half innocent suggests he might

63
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.360
be sympathetic. But pardoning a guy who just got caught

64
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.560
drinking in prison not a great look. So that's where

65
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.680
Diddy is. Fort Dix, laundry duty, Moonshine, hoping for presidential pardon,

66
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.720
living his best prison life. Now let's get to the

67
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.800
real crimes. We'll be right back with the Florida teen

68
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:58.079
who googled his way to an arrest warrant. September sixteenth,

69
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.160
twenty twenty five, Monday night, eleven forty seven pm, Orange County, Florida,

70
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.000
Intersection of Silver Star Road and Belcoe Drive, about five

71
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.639
miles northwest of Orlando. Jarrell Noah Jones, eighteen years old,

72
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.000
driving a silver Dodge Dart, his girlfriend in the front

73
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.480
passenger seat, another male friend in the back, heading to

74
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.839
McDonald's late night food run. They stopped at a red light.

75
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.040
An uber driver pulled up next to them, stopped in

76
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.519
the left lane waiting for the light to change. A

77
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:34.000
man crossed the street, heading northbound, passing between both vehicles,

78
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.360
Anthony Fred Brown, thirty three years old, possibly asking for money,

79
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.040
maybe just crossing the intersection, not threatening anyone, just walking.

80
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.920
Jones honked his horn multiple times. Brown kept walking, didn't

81
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.560
move faster, didn't acknowledge the honking, just kept crossing. Jones

82
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.360
turned his wheels to the left toward Brown, accelerated the

83
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.639
Dodge Dart, knocked Brown over the front left wheel, went

84
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.720
over his body. Then Jones put the car in reverse,

85
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.480
backed over Brown's head, then put it in drive, drove

86
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.560
forward over Brown's head again, then reversed over his head

87
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.879
a third time. The uber driver watched the entire thing,

88
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.439
couldn't believe what she was seeing. Jones then sped off

89
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.639
westbound at high speed. The uber driver called nine to

90
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.120
one one. Immediately, first responders arrived found Anthony Brown on

91
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.879
the pavement, life threatening head injuries, fractured skull, multiple brain bleeds,

92
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.360
unable to speak. Transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center emergency surgery.

93
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:42.079
Survived barely. Brown's injuries left him with altered mental status,

94
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:47.199
memory loss, brain damage. When detectives tried to interview him

95
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.079
weeks later, he couldn't remember the incident, couldn't identify his attacker.

96
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.399
Medical staff said the trauma was severe, permanent cognitive impairment likely.

97
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.240
The uber driver gave a full statement, detailed description of

98
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:05.160
what happened, license plate number, make and model, everything investigators needed.

99
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.279
Traffic cameras captured the Dodge Dart. Footage showed the vehicle

100
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.920
stopping at a parking lot. Shortly after two men got out,

101
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.160
one of them, Jones, went into a business. Police obtained

102
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.560
search warrant for the vehicle. September thirtieth, two weeks after

103
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.079
the attack, police executed traffic stop found the Dodge Dart.

104
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.240
Gerald Jones was driving, same girlfriend in front seat, same

105
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.360
mail friend in back seat. Police questioned all three. The

106
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.040
male passenger said they were on the way to McDonald's

107
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.040
when an unknown black mail approached the vehicle and started yelling.

108
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.720
Then the passenger said he blacked out and didn't remember

109
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.319
anything until they arrived back at Jones's residence. Convenient memory loss.

110
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.279
The girlfriend told a different story, said Jones honked at

111
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.680
the man several times, drove forward, and the man fell over.

112
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.639
She believed Jones did it intentionally. When she asked why,

113
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.839
Jones told her I thought he had something, thought he

114
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:10.560
had something, a weapon, presumably, except witnesses said Brown was

115
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.000
just crossing the street, possibly asking for money, No weapon visible,

116
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.560
no threatening behavior. Jones just decided this man crossing the

117
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.240
intersection was a threat and needed to be run over.

118
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.079
Multiple times, The girlfriend said, Jones backed up to see

119
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.199
if he ran over the man, then turned right and

120
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.519
drove off. Nobody in the car called nine to one one.

121
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:37.320
Nobody reported it. They went home, went to bed, acted

122
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.919
like nothing happened. Police executed search warrant on the phone

123
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.960
of the mail passenger, the one who claimed he blacked out.

124
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.919
Found a Google search at one thirty am on September seventeenth,

125
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:53.000
less than two hours after the attack. Search query ways

126
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.320
to cover up a hit and run. All text message

127
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.960
conversations from the time of the incident were deleted deliberate

128
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.679
destruction of evidence. When police interviewed Jones, he denied everything.

129
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.120
Said he remembered going to Foodlatto that night, denied seeing

130
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.600
any victim, denied any involvement in hitting anybody, straight up lied,

131
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.240
despite three witnesses, traffic camera footage, and his girlfriend's statement.

132
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.679
November eleventh, twenty twenty five, two months after the attack,

133
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.440
Jirell Noah Jones arrested, charged with attempted second degree murder,

134
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:33.000
held without bond, arraigned, public defender appointed. Preliminary hearing scheduled.

135
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.159
Jones has no prior criminal record, clean background, eighteen years old,

136
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.360
first offense attempted murder. If convicted, facing decades in prison.

137
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.720
Florida doesn't play with attempted murder charges, especially when there's

138
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.799
video evidence. Multiple witnesses, Google searches about covering it up

139
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.879
and deleted text messages smart enough to plan ahead, had

140
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.919
his friend google how to cover up the crime, too

141
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.879
stupid to realize. Police can retrieve search histories, can recover

142
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.399
deleted texts, can pull traffic camera footage, can interview witnesses.

143
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.720
Anthony Fred Brown is thirty three years old, survived fractured

144
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.759
skull and brain bleeds, but his cognitive function is permanently altered,

145
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:20.200
memory issues, speech difficulties, medical condition going forward unknown, may

146
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.600
never fully recover. All because he crossed the street in

147
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.039
front of the wrong Eighteen year old Gerald Jones is

148
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:32.039
in Orange County Jail, no bond, facing life altering prison sentence.

149
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.480
All because he thought running over a pedestrian's head multiple

150
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.279
times was an appropriate response to being mildly inconvenienced at

151
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:46.440
a red light. Make it make sense. October twenty fourth,

152
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.279
twenty twenty five, Friday morning, Plymouth Township, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia.

153
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.960
Dalton Lee Janechek, twenty one years old, student at Loyola

154
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.039
Marymount University. Member of the rowing team, previously captain of

155
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.879
LaSalle College High School crew team. Six foot two athletic,

seasoned competitor, lives with his parents in a one point

157

four million dollar home in Ambler. His father, Lee Janichek,

158
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.120
is a partner at Lewis Brisbois, LLC, high powered attorney

159
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:22.440
representing corporations and insurance companies. Dalton was driving his white

160
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:27.480
Mercedes g Wagon luxury suv costs up to one hundred

161
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:33.399
eighty six thousand dollars driving erratically, speeding, crossing concrete medians.

162
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.960
Multiple police departments had recent interactions with him and his vehicle.

163
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.919
Eleven fifty six, a m. Whitpain Township police sergeant attempted

164
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:47.440
to pull Janichek over routine traffic stop. Instead of pulling over,

165
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.159
Janichek sped away, crossed the median on Skippack Pike, fled

166
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.200
at high speed. Police didn't pursue too dangerous, but they

167
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.480
reported the vehicle to neighboring departments. That same morning, police

168
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.559
had received information that Janichek threatened to blow up a

169
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.440
police department in Chester County. Whitpain Township officers were already

170
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.360
familiar with Janichek, had dealt with him multiple times in

171
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:16.440
recent days careless driving, speeding, unregistered vehicle, refusing to stop

172
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.759
for traffic violations. Twelve thirty nine pm, Plymouth Township police

173
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.240
officer responded to the Double Tree Guest Suites hotel in Plymouth,

174
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.080
meeting six forty Fountain Road. The Mercedes G Wagon had

175
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.720
been spotted in the parking lot. Officer pulled in behind

176
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:36.519
the g Wagon activated emergency lights, standard procedure, expecting Janichek

177
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.600
to comply. Instead, Janichek put the car in reverse, rammed

178
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:45.240
the patrol vehicle multiple times, pushing it back, hitting it repeatedly.

179
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.159
The officer exited his vehicle, pulled his weapon, ordered Janichek

180
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.799
to stop, show his hands, get out of the car.

181
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.240
Guinea Check accelerated directly at the officer, trying to hit him.

182
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.320
The officer fired his weapon at least five shots at

183
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:04.559
the g wagon. Janichek didn't stop, accelerated again, struck the officer,

184
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.879
knocked him to the ground. The officer fell hit the pavement,

185
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.759
severe leg wound started bleeding. As the officer lay on

186
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.399
the ground trying to apply a tourniquet to his leg.

187
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:19.559
Janichek circled back around the parking lot, drove straight at

188
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.759
him again, ran him over a second time, then a

189
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.000
third time, then a fourth time. The officer was struck

190
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.679
four times total, once while standing, three more times while

191
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.480
lying on the ground bleeding, attempting to save his own

192
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.639
life with a tournique. While this entitled bratt kept circling

193
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.799
back to run him over. Bystander captured the whole thing

194
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.600
on video posted it to TikTok over two million views.

195
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.799
Shows the Mercedes ramming the patrol car officer getting out,

196
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:53.360
ordering Janichek to stop, Janichek accelerating at him, officer firing, Janichek,

197
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.840
hitting him, then coming back to hit him again. While

198
00:13:55.879 --> 00:14:00.679
he's down. Janichek fled westbound. Other Plymouth Township officers responded,

199
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.960
pursued the g wagon. Jenichek turned onto Walton Road, continued

200
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.879
driving erratically. He drove directly toward an unmarked police vehicle,

201
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.600
struck it head on, then struck another marked Plymouth Township

202
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.720
patrol vehicle head on. A sergeant was inside the collision,

203
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:21.559
injured the second officer. Finally, Janichek's vehicle was disabled. Officers

204
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.799
swarmed apprehended him. He had a gray's wound to the

205
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:30.600
head from the officer's gunfire, not serious. Taken to Abington Hospital, treated, cleared,

206
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.440
transported to Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Both injured officers were

207
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.159
transported to hospitals. The first officer, the one run over

208
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.080
four times, underwent emergency surgery, multiple surgeries, severe leg injuries.

209
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:52.240
Both officers stable condition, but traumatized, physically damaged, career altering injuries.

210
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:57.159
While being taken into custody, still in handcuffs, Janichek allegedly

211
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.519
told officers put me in the car, or I will

212
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.639
kill you. Charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer,

213
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:10.799
aggravated assault, fleeing or attempting to elude police, multiple felonies.

214
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:17.320
October twenty fifth, arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Thomas P. Mert.

215
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.759
Denied bail, Held without bond at Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

216
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:27.320
Preliminary hearings scheduled November fourth. Janichek's father, Lee Janichek, declined

217
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.960
to comment. No statement, no defense. High powered attorney representing

218
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:35.279
major corporations, but can't defend his own son running over

219
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.039
police officers with an eighteen thousand, six hundred dollars SUV.

220
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:45.000
Here's the thing. Dalton Janichek had every advantage, wealthy family,

221
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.799
private high school, college education, athletic accolades, team captain, no

222
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.600
criminal history, everything going for him. One routine traffic stop,

223
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.000
one moment of refusing to pull over, and now he's

224
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:07.200
facing attempted charges, decades in prison, career, destroyed, reputation, destroyed, family, humiliated,

225
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.200
all because he thought he was above the law. Thought

226
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.320
he could flee from police, thought he could ram patrol cars,

227
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.879
thought he could run over an officer four times and

228
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.279
get away with it. The video tells the story officer

229
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.279
doing his job, Janicheck accelerating at him, officer firing in

230
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.840
self defense, Janicheck running him down anyway, then coming back

231
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.320
and back and back, trying to kill a cop who

232
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:34.120
was just enforcing a traffic violation. And the mugshot Janicheck smiling,

233
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.799
smirking like this is all a joke, Like daddy's money,

234
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.200
We'll fix it, Like attempted murder of a police officer

235
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.440
is no big deal. It's a big deal. Pennsylvania doesn't

236
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.039
play with cop killers. Attempted murder of law enforcement carries

237
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.679
serious time. And Janichek didn't just attempt at once. He

238
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.200
ran the officer over four times. That's not panic, that's

239
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.360
not fear. That's attempted execution. Make it make sense. Twenty

240
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.240
one years old, rowing team captain, college student from a

241
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.400
million dollar home, and now he's in prison for trying

242
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.480
to murder police officers with his luxury SUV. Your tax

243
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:25.079
dollars at work. Houston, Texas. Since twenty seventeen, one hundred

244
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.559
eighty nine bodies have been pulled from the city's Bayous

245
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.680
Let that sink in one hundred eighty nine corpses in

246
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:36.880
eight years from swampy waterways running through Houston. Of those deaths,

247
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:43.200
seventeen classified as murders, seventy five marked unexplained. Thirty nine

248
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:47.640
percent have undetermined causes, twenty four percent ruled accidental drowning,

249
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.599
thirteen percent suicides, six percent accidents other than drowning, five

250
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.599
percent still pending autopsy results, four percent natural causes. Most

251
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.039
common age of decedents thirty to thirty nine years old.

252
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.079
A quarter of all bodies fit that demographic. Eighty seven

253
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.640
bodies total were between eighteen and thirty nine. The most

254
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.079
recent spike September twenty twenty five, five bodies were covered

255
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.920
in five days. Jade Elise McKissick, twenty years old, University

256
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.079
of Houston student, last seen leaving a bar to get

257
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.759
a drink at a gas station, left her phone behind,

258
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.079
found in brazed by U September fifteenth. No signs of

259
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.200
trauma or foul play. Ar Nulfo Alvarado death ruled accidental

260
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.960
drowning mixed with methamphetamine effects. Only one of the five

261
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:41.440
September deaths with a determined cause, the other three still undetermined,

262
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.640
still under investigation. Still unexplained. So far. In twenty twenty five,

263
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.000
twenty seven bodies pulled from Houston BYU's twenty seven. It's

264
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.720
only November. We're not even done with the year. Buffalo

265
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.200
By You. The stretch running through downtown Houston near Buffalo

266
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.319
byou Park has been the most common discovery site twenty

267
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.000
one bodies since twenty seventeen. The Eastwood and Lawndale Wayside

268
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:14.519
neighborhoods seventeen bodies. East Downtown near Navigation Boulevard sixteen bodies.

269
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.000
Houston Mayor John Whitmyer and police officials keep insisting there's

270
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.680
no serial killer. Enough is enough of wild speculation. Whitmire

271
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.160
said at a September press conference, there is no evidence

272
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.680
that there is a serial killer loose on the streets

273
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.599
of Houston. Whitmyer blames homelessness and drug abuse. Says homeless

274
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.839
people die and end up in bayous. Says it's a

275
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.920
tragic consequence of the addiction crisis. But Joseph Jackaloney, retired

276
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:47.319
NYPD sergeant and criminal justice professor at Penn State Lehigh Valley,

277
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.640
isn't buying it. That's definitely worthy of further investigation. Just

278
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.079
the sheer number of cases, the fact that a few

279
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.480
of them could be connected. I think the percentage of

280
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.279
something being connected at least one or two of them

281
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.960
is pretty high. He urged Houston investigators to explore companion

282
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.119
cases or dare I say patterns among the deaths. Private

283
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:12.160
investigator Coleman Ryan is working the case of Kenneth Cutting Junior,

284
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.079
twenty two, found dead in Buffalo by You downtown Houston

285
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.000
last year. Ryan told Fox News, they're saying they don't

286
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.160
have a serial killer, but I'm not sure. Maybe their

287
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.160
objective isn't sexual assault, it's not robbery, but they're just

288
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:33.000
throwing people in the by you. Kenneth Cutting Junior wasn't homeless,

289
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.559
wasn't a drug addict, just a twenty two year old

290
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:40.880
whose body ended up in the water. Cause of death undetermined.

291
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.759
His autopsy report contained a clerical error. A portion of

292
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.640
his report was from another person's case, different body, wrong information.

293
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.160
The medical examiner admitted the mistake but said it had

294
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.279
no impact on the findings. Cutting's family doesn't believe that.

295
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:02.680
They're demanding police read open the investigation. Jade McKissick wasn't

296
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:08.359
homeless either. University student, young, promising future her death is unexplained,

297
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.079
no trauma, no foul play. She just ended up dead

298
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.640
in Braised Bayou. The Houston Police Department and Mayor's office

299
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.960
declined to comment on the new data, referred media to

300
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:26.119
previous statements no serial killer, just homelessness and drugs. But

301
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.680
Giacaloni slammed the mayor's response as mind boggling, said many

302
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.960
of the publicly known cases have nothing to do with

303
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:39.279
the homeless population. Here's the reality. Houston has two five

304
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:44.200
hundred miles of bayous winding waterways throughout the city, prime

305
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:50.440
dumping grounds. Bodies sink, decompose surface months later, hard to

306
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.839
determine cause of death, easy to dismiss as drowning or

307
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.960
drugs or suicide. But one hundred eighty nine bodies in

308
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:03.359
eight years, seventy five unexplained deaths, seventeen homicides, and officials

309
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.359
say there's no pattern. Jackaloni's rule, every death should be

310
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.880
treated as if it's suspicious until proven otherwise. Houston isn't

311
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:16.039
following that rule. They're dismissing deaths as homeless tragedy, as

312
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:21.960
drug overdoses, as accidents without proper investigation, without looking for connections,

313
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.440
without considering that maybe, just maybe someone is targeting people

314
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.880
and dumping them in byous. Serial Killers don't always fit

315
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.799
the Hollywood profile, don't always leave calling cards, don't always

316
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.279
have sexual or robbery motives. Sometimes they just kill, dump bodies,

317
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.160
move on, and if police aren't looking for patterns, they

318
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.920
never get caught. Houston's Buyous are a body graveyard, and

319
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:52.839
nobody's asking why make it make sense? That's celebrity trials

320

for Thursday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Gerald Jones ran

321
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:01.160
over a pedestrian's head repeatedly, then googled ways to cover

322
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.799
up a hit and run. Smart enough to commit a

323
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.160
tempted murder, too stupid to clear his search history. Eighteen

324
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.559
years old, no prior record, facing decades in prison. Dalton

325
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.319
Janachek ran over a police officer four times with his

326
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.599
Mercedes g Wagon, three of those times while the cop

327
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.680
was bleeding on the ground, then smirked in his mugshot

328
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:25.319
twenty one years old. Wealthy family lawyer, father held without

329
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.759

one hundred and eighty nine bodies from Bayous since twenty seventeen.

331
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:39.359
Seventy five deaths unexplained. Officials say, no serial killer, but

332
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.559
nobody's looking for patterns either. Some days we cover trials,

333
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.240
some days we just have to tell you what's happening

334
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.880
out there. And what's happening is people are losing their minds,

335
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.200
running over pedestrians for crossing the street, running over cops

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.359
attempted murder charges, and sometimes one hundred and eighty nine

339
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.640
bodies in eight years means something more than homelessness and drugs.

Lock your doors, clear your browser history, and if you

341
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:18.160
