HUSBAND HELD IN BAHAMAS AS WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE DEEPENS — PLUS A CHEERLEADER VERDICT AND A SERIAL KILLER FACES DEATH
A dream voyage on a boat called Soulmate has turned into a nightmare — and the only witness is in custody.
A Michigan woman vanishes from a dinghy in the Bahamas while sailing with her husband. He paddles to shore. She doesn't. Nine days later, Lynette Hooker is still missing — and her husband Brian is in Bahamian custody, questioned on probable cause, not yet charged. Her daughter says she knows what happened. Brian's lawyer says he's heartbroken. The truth is somewhere in the water. Also: Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling pleads not guilty at her manslaughter arraignment. And convicted serial killer DeMorris Hunter faces the death penalty as his Florida murder trial moves into the penalty phase.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759
Kalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Garrett Fisher. It's Tuesday,
2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.359
April fourteenth, twenty twenty six. This is Daily Crime and Justice.
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.760
Let me tell you about a boat called Soulmate. Brian
4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.960
and Lynette Hooker bought that sailboat four years ago and
5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.760
left their life in suburban Michigan behind. They became boat
6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.799
life bloggers. They documented everything, the sunsets, the storms, the
7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.159
quiet stretches of ocean. With nobody around for miles. They
8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.960
were living what a lot of people would call the dream.
9
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.320
On the evening of April fourth, they took a small
10
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.280
eight foot dinghy out near Elbow k in the Bahamas,
11
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.439
heading back to the Soulmate. After a day ashore, only
12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.280
Brian came back. He says Lynette fell overboard. He says
13
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.399
she had the keys with her the engine's safety lanyard
14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.600
when she went in. He says the currents took her.
15
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.799
He says he paddled to shore and contacted authorities. Lynette
16
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.640
Hooker has not been found. Nine days later, her fifty
17
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.239
five year old body is somewhere in those waters, and
18
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.239
the search has shifted from rescue to recovery. Brian Hooker,
19
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.480
fifty eight years old husband of twenty five years is
20
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:24.959
sitting in Bahamian custody, not charged, questioned on probable cause.
21
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.120
His lawyer says he's heartbroken and cooperating. His stepdaughter says
22
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.719
she's not surprised this is happening. We're going to walk
23
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.159
through this one carefully today because there is a lot
24
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.439
here and a lot of it hurts. Also this morning,
25
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.560
former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader Laken Snelling was a
26
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.239
ragined last week on first degree manslaughter charges. We have
27
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.120
been following this case since August and she pleaded not guilty.
28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.799
We have updates. And in Orlando, Florida, Demorris Hunter has
29
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.239
been convicted of first degree murder in the killing of
30
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.000
Teresa Anna. We brought you the start of that trial
31
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.959
last Thursday. The jury came back fast. Now, Hunter, already
32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.639
serving one hundred and ten years in California for a
33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.680
separate killing, faces the death penalty here in Florida. Three cases,
34
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.560
one missing woman who deserves to be found, one verdict
35
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.800
that took twenty two years, One young woman's name cleared
36
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.159
in the legal sense, but the facts unresolved. I'm Garrett Fisher.
37
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:36.520
Let's go this is daily crime and justice. I want
38
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.000
to start with what we know for certain, because in
39
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.919
a case like this, the facts you can nail down
40
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.120
matter more than speculation. What we know On the night
41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.039
of Saturday, April fourth, Brian and Lynette Hooker left Hopetown
42
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.879
on the Abbaco Islands in a small, open topped eight
43
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.639
foot dinghy. They were heading back to their sailboat, the Soulmate,
44
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.520
which was anchored nearby near Elbow k That standard practice
45
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.199
for live aboard sailors. They anchor the big boat and
46
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.439
use a small dinghy to get to and from shore.
47
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.680
What we know only Brian Hooker returned his account as
48
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.000
given to authorities and shared publicly through his attorney, and
49
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:18.719
his own statement goes like this. The sea conditions deteriorated rapidly,
50
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.800
high winds, choppy water. His wife fell overboard. She was
51
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.080
wearing the engine's safety lanyard, the cord that cuts power
52
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.159
to the motor if the operator's thrown clear, which means
53
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.280
when she went in the engine stopped. He was unable
54
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.280
to retrieve her. The currents took her away. He last
55
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.560
saw her swimming toward shore. He paddled the now powerless
56
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.319
dinghy toward land and eventually made it through brush to
57
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:47.319
a boat yard, where he contacted police. Early Sunday, April fifth,
58
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.759
Bahamian authorities launched a surge. The US Coast Guard joined
59
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.599
with aerial assets. Days passed. On Sunday evening, roughly twenty
60
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.520
four hours after Lynette Hooker went missing, Brian called his daughter,
61
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.919
Carly Aylesworth and told her that her mother was missing.
62
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.800
The way she described receiving that call is worth sitting with.
63
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.400
She said he was, and I'm paraphrasing here, matter of
64
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.919
fact about it. Your mom is missing. She's been missing
65
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.560
since last night. We'll come up to see you soon.
66
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.560
Aylesworth told CNN she felt like he had just dropped
67
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.519
a bomb on her, and then kept talking before abruptly
68
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.600
ending the call. By Tuesday, April seventh, authorities confirmed the
69
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.560
search had transitioned from a rescue operation to a recovery mission.
70
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.720
That's the language that means they no longer believe they're
71
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.319
looking for a living person. That same day, Brian left
72
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.000
Aylesworth a voicemail saying searchers had found a flotation device
73
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.240
he said he had thrown to Lynette when she fell
74
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.279
In Wednesday, April eighth, Brian Hooker is taken into custody
75
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.160
by the Royal Bahamas Police Force, not arrested on charges,
76
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.040
detained on quote probable cause for questioning as a suspect
77
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.279
in connection with his wife's disappearance. His attorney, Terrell Butler,
78
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.600
confirmed the detention and said he denies any wrongdoing. That
79
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.399
same day, the US Coast Guard announced it had opened
80
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.920
a parallel criminal investigation. Since then, Brian has been questioned
81
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.920
twice more. A magistrate approved an extension allowing police to
82
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.199
hold him through Monday evening under Bahamian law, which allows
83
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.759
up to seventy two additional hours of detention when investigators
84
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.680
need more time. As of this broadcast, he has not
85
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:36.160
been charged. He remains in custody now. Who was Lynette Hooker?
86
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.000
Fifty five years old mother, born and raised near water
87
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.279
in Michigan. Her mother, Darlene Hamlet, told reporters her daughter
88
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.800
had spent her whole life near lakes on boats, sailing
89
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.959
and swimming. She was not a novice. The Hookers had
90
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.759
been sailing together for more than a decade, and for
91
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.319
the last four years had been living aboard the Soulmate
92
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.439
full time. Documenting their voyage from Texas to Michigan on
93
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.040
social media. They had an audience people followed along, which
94
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.560
makes the silence after April fourth even harder to make
95
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.759
sense of. Now, let me tell you about Carly Aylesworth,
96
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.519
because she is the voice at the center of this story,
97
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.040
and she has been consistent and specific in a way
98
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.439
that is hard to ignore. Aylesworth is twenty eight years old.
99
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:27.399
She is Lynette's daughter. Brian is her stepfather. She told CNN,
100
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.199
Fox News, CBS, and NBC that the marriage between her
101
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.399
mother and Brian had a history of violence, not just tension,
102
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.000
not just volatility. She specifically alleged that Brian had a
103
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.720
history of choking her mother. She used the word choked.
104
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.720
She alleged he had previously threatened to throw Lynette overboard.
105
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.839
There is a history of him choking her out and
106
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.120
threatening to throw her overboard, she said, So the fact
107
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.759
that this is actually happening makes me believe there's more
108
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.680
to the story. She also pointed out the timing of
109
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.240
the call she received three days He left her a
110
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.959
voicemail three days after her mother went missing, not a
111
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.040
call the night had happened three days and even then,
112
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.079
she said, the call he eventually made to tell her
113
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.279
Lynette was missing came roughly twenty four hours after the incident,
114
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.240
not in real time. Brian's attorney has pushed back on
115
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.759
all of this, specifically saying his denials of wrongdoing include
116
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.399
the allegations recently made by Aylesworth. Here is where the
117
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.279
story gets complicated, and I think it's important to say
118
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.120
this out loud. There is a twenty fifteen police report
119
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.319
from Kentwood, Michigan. Police were called to the Hooker home
120
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.079
after an altercation. Both Brian and Lynnette accused each other
121
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.120
of assault. Brian told police Lynette had struck him in
122
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:52.480
the face multiple times while intoxicated. Officers documented a red, swollen,
123
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.319
bloody nose on Brian. Lynette told police she had been
124
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.480
struck and choked by Brian. No visible injuries are Lynette
125
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.360
were documented. A prosecutor later reviewed the case, determined there
126
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.680
was insufficient evidence to establish who started the assault and
127
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:14.240
dismissed it. Lynette was briefly arrested, Brian was not. Brian's
128
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.959
attorney has pointed to this, noting that Lynette, not Brian,
129
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.399
was the one charged in that incident, arguing it undermines
130
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.199
the narrative of him as an aggressor. I want to
131
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.040
be careful. Here a domestic violence incident from eleven years ago,
132
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.120
in which both parties accused each other, no charges, ultimately stuck,
133
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.879
and the circumstances involved a third person, a locked room,
134
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.440
and mutual intoxication. That is not clean evidence of anything.
135
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.519
What it is is context, and in a missing person investigation,
136
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.320
context matters. Here is what. We don't have a body,
137
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.080
We don't have physical evidence of a crime. We don't
138
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.600
have charges. We have a man in custody, a woman
139
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.279
who has not been found, and a set of coming
140
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.879
narratives from people who love her, and a lawyer who
141
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.120
represents him. What I keep coming back to is this.
142
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.799
The boat was named Soulmate. They made videos of their
143
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.840
life at sea, and people watched and thought, look at them.
144
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.799
Two people who chose each other and chose this life
145
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.759
and chose to do it together. And now she's gone,
146
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.440
and he's in a Bahamian police station, and her daughter
147
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.360
is telling anyone who will listen that she has not
148
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.840
been shocked by what happened. Lynette Hooker has not been found.
149
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:35.039
She deserves to be still ahead. A former cheerleader pleads
150
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.960
not guilty, and a serial killer faces the possibility of
151
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:56.639
death row again. We first brought you the Lake and
152
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.360
Snelling case in August of last year, when her roomates
153
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.639
made a call to police that changed everything. We covered
154
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.879
her grand jury indictment in March, and last Thursday, April tenth,
155
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.320
leg And Snelling was arraigned in Fayette County, Kentucky on
156
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.039
the charges she's been facing since that indictment. She pleaded
157
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.879
not guilty. Let me give you the current charge picture
158
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.320
because it's important. Snelling, twenty two years old, now faces
159
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.600
four counts first degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering
160
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.759
with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant.
161
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.559
Her pre trial date has been set for May fourteenth.
162
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.879
A status hearing is scheduled for June twelfth. She remains
163
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.320
on house arrest at her parents' home in Tennessee. She
164
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.639
posted a ten thousand dollars bond after her rearrest last month.
165
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.879
The maximum exposure here is significant, up to twenty years
166
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.919
on the manslaughter charge alone, plus an additional eleven years
167
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.039
on the remaining counts. If convicted of everything, she is
168
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.000
looking at the possibility of more than three decades in prison.
169
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.639
Quick recap for listeners who are newer to the show.
170
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:06.200
August twenty twenty five, Lexington, Kentucky, lack in Snelling's roommates
171
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.240
here sounds coming from her room. A picture falls off
172
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.519
the wall from the impact. When Snelling emerges, she says
173
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.679
she passed out from not eating and leaves. Her roommates
174
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.679
check her room and find a blood soaked towel evidence
175
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.159
of childbirth, and a newborn infant in her closet wrapped
176
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.919
in trash bags. Snelling was arrested three days later. She
177
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.240
admitted to giving birth. She said the baby fell during delivery.
178
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.639
She said she passed out on top of the infant
179
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.759
and woke to find him blue and purple. She said
180
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.080
she believed he was dead. She wrapped him up, laid
181
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.919
next to him on the floor, said it gave her comfort,
182
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.919
and then put him in trash bags and hid the body.
183
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.480
The medical Examiner's report changed the legal trajectory of this case.
184
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.080
It found that the baby was full term, born alive,
185
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:57.679
died of asphyxia, meaning suffocation. That finding triggered the grand
186
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.679
jury indictment on manslaughter charges in March. The not guilty
187
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.600
plea is the expected move in arraignment. It doesn't tell
188
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.559
us much about what happens at trial. What matters now
189
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.080
is the May fourteenth pre trial date and what comes
190
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.679
out of it. This case will hinge on the medical
191
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.240
examiner's findings and what the prosecution can establish about the
192
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.440
cause and manner of death. A full term baby was
193
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.919
born in that apartment and died there. Nobody outside that
194
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.679
room knew it was happening. Whatever led to that moment,
195
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.799
the fear, the secrecy, the silence. That is the real
196
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.240
story underneath the legal proceedings, and it is not over
197
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.360
coming up. We told you about Demores Hunter when his
198
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.960
trial started last week. Since then, the jury has come
199
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.399
back with a verdict. We have the details, and the
200
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:50.679
stakes going forward are about as high as they get.
201
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.960
Last Thursday we introduced you to Demo Morris Hunter and
202
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.360
to Teresa Ann Green. We told you that in May
203
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:09.000
two thousand and two, Teresa, thirty eight years old hospital secretary,
204
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.399
mother to a thirteen year old son named Octavius, was
205
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.720
found strangled to death and stuffed in the trunk of
206
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.919
her own car in a Walgreens parking lot in Sanford, Florida.
207
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.799
We told you that Hunter had been living in the
208
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.039
same apartment building, attending the same party, and that he
209
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.879
had reportedly told the party host afterward, in so many words,
210
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.000
that he had done something really bad. We told you.
211
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.200
The trial had just started. The jury didn't need much time.
212
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.559
On day three, April eighth, the jury found Demores Hunter
213
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.159
guilty of first degree murder and theft in the killing
214
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:47.879
of Teresa Ann Green guilty after twenty two years of verdict,
215
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.519
let me walk you through what the jury heard before
216
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.399
they reached that verdict. Day one, prosecutors laid out the
217
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.120
basic timeline. Hunter was living at Bay Run two apartments
218
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.559
in Orlando under an alias Michael Barry. He was not
219
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.360
using his real name. He attended the party at the
220
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.039
Butler's apartment on the night of May twenty fifth, two
221
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.480
thousand and two. Teresa was there too. Witnesses testified they
222
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.080
saw Hunter and Teresa fall together on the stairs as
223
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.039
the party wound down, then both get up and go
224
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.799
into Teresa's apartment. Her son, Octavius, was away for the night.
225
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.559
The next morning, Hunter drove Teresa's car to a Walgreens.
226
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.799
He asked a neighbor, Joseph Butler, to drive a white
227
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.720
van behind him. When Butler asked why they were leaving,
228
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.039
Teresa's car at the Walgreens. Hunter told him I did
229
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.679
something really bad. Butler said he didn't want to hear
230
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.039
anything else and drop the subject. Police found the car,
231
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.080
They popped the trunk. Teresa and Green's body was inside,
232
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.480
wrapped in material strangled. The medical examiner ruled the cause
233
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.360
of death as manual strangulation. Hunter's DNA was found at
234
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.960
the scene. He fled, was eventually tracked to California and arrested.
235
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.879
Day two brought the FOREN fingerprints, DNA, the car, the timeline,
236
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.799
and importantly, a van was later found burned in Texas,
237
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:13.440
an intentional fire, which investigators connected to Hunter. The defense,
238
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.879
for their part, tried a different angle. They argued the
239
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.720
Butlers weren't credible. They pointed to an altercation at the party.
240
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.080
Witnesses said Teresa had slapped Joseph Butler and he hit
241
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.960
her back. The defense suggested chaos, alcohol and the possibility
242
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.679
that someone else was responsible for what happened after the
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759
2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.359
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.760
4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.960
5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.760
6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.799
7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.159
8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.960
9
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.320
10
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.280
11
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.439
