Brianna Aguilera was a 19-year-old Texas A&M honor student who died after falling from a 17th-floor apartment balcony in Austin on November 29, 2025. Her death has been officially ruled a suicide by the Austin Police Department (APD), a conclusion that her family and their legal team are disputing. In this episode of Exposed: Investigates, Jim covers the facts of the case as we know them currently and breaks down the holes in the investigation that may lead you to reconsider the findings by police.

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.559
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.199
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today i

3
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.760
am bringing you an Exposed Investigate series episode and I'm

4
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.879
going to take you on a deep dive into a

5
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.240
very recent investigation. This thing is only about a week

6
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.200
old from the time that I'm recording this, and it's

7
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.520
an investigation into the death of Brianna Aguilera. So let's

8
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.399
start by telling you a little about Brianna. Now, she

9
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.079
was nineteen years old in a Texas A and M

10
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.079
yell leader. Now, they don't have cheerleaders at Texas A

11
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.320
and M, and I came across several articles when this

12
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.679
was first reported saying she was a Texas A and

13
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.000
M cheerleader. There's a big difference between yell leaders and cheerleaders.

14
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.879
They don't even have cheerleaders at Texas A and M,

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.280
but just not as yell leaders. They're leaders of the

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.879
student body if you will that just go crazy at

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.400
these games and cheer for the Texas A and M. Maggie. Now,

18
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.439
Brianna was found in responsive after a tailgate. She was

19
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.159
at a West campus apartment complex at the University at

20
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.719
Texas A and M. And these apartments are high rise apartments,

21
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.519
very high rise apartments like twenty plus floors. And after

22
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.640
all the smoke cleared, Austin police determined she jumped from

23
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.359
the seventheenth story to her death. Now, Brianna was a

24
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.680
sophomore studying at Bush School of Government. She aspired to

25
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.079
be a lawyer someday, and she was also a member

26
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.959
of the Texas A and M's Pre Law Society, so

27
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.519
she had a ton going for her. As a matter

28
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.879
of fact, Brianna was very smart, just one year shy

29
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.159
of earning her Aggie ring as they call it, and

30
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.319
that's a ring that students earn after completing ninety hours

31
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.000
of classes. Now, keep in mind this girl was only

32
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.960
nineteen years old and had already completed ninety hours of classes.

33
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.800
She was on a set to graduate. Now, she was

34
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.599
originally from Laredo, Texas, where she was a cheerleader at

35
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.360
United High School, and she was what you would picture

36
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.159
a cheerleader to be, just a beautiful young lady. So

37
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.280
to take you through the hours preceding her death, Brianno

38
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.319
makes a five hour trip from College Station, where Texas

39
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.960
A and M is to Laredo, and she's spending Thanksgiving

40
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.759
with her mother, Stephanie, and her two young brothers. And

41
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.479
she took her two young brothers, as a matter of fact,

42
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.639
while she was there for Thanksgiving to go see Wicked

43
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.680
before she makes the drive back to Central Texas. Texas

44
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.000
A and M was playing Texas University, biggest game of

45
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.199
the season for those teams. She was of course going

46
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.360
to be there. She had plans to tailgate with friends,

47
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.039
and then she was going to spend the night in

48
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.159
Austin at a friend's apartment in the twenty one Rio

49
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.599
high rise just off the west side of campus. Now

50
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.639
we know that her mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, and Brianna were

51
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.520
very very close. As a matter of fact, the day

52
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.479
of her death, or the evening of her death, they

53
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.479
had been texting all day long. And as I said,

54
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.360
this girl was an honor student at Texas A and M.

55
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.439
And that's important that plays a role in this. She's

56
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.120
only nineteen years old. She had so much going for her,

57
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.199
as a matter of fact, that she was about to

58
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.120
take d lside, which is the law school SAT test.

59
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.840
You have to take that to get accepted to law school.

60
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.120
And as I said, she's about to graduate. This girl

61
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.439
had her whole life in front of her and she

62
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:16.600
was absolutely killing it now. Hours into the tailgate, according

63
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.759
to her mother, she was trying to reach Brionna for hours,

64
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.040
sending her texts they would go unanswered, et cetera. She

65
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:32.120
eventually uses Life three sixty or a similar app to

66
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.439
look for her phone. She sees that her phone is

67
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.720
in some sort of lake area or river area, riverbed area,

68
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.360
not where it should be right. She freaks out. She

69
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.800
calls the police and she says, hey, I want to

70
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.279
do like a missing persons I hadn't talked to my

71
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.120
daughter in hours. This is not like her and her

72
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.920
phone is in a very kind of secluded area. And

73
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.439
the police tell her, hey, she's got to be going

74
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.160
for twenty four hours before we'll leaven investigated. This incident

75
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.560
took place on November twenty ninth, just literally a week ago,

76
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.279
and in really quick order, I mean within a several hours,

77
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.240
police came out and they basically said there was no

78
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.639
foul play expected in this and that they were not

79
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.600
investigating this case as a homicide. So look, the hardest

80
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.040
thing to accept when someone close to you takes their

81
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.720
own life is the fact that they did it. It's

82
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.319
just the acceptance of that. But in this case, there

83
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.759
were a lot of questions that seemed like legitimate questions

84
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:55.240
and Brianna's mother she was having none of it, and

85
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.839
on December first, she posted this Facebook post, shortly after

86
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.160
police determined there was no foul play in the death

87
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.879
of her daughter. It reads, quote, this was not accidental.

88
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.800
Someone killed my breed and gave all the group of

89
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.439
friends a lot of time to come up with the

90
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.199
same story. My daughter would not jump seventeen stories from

91
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.199
a building, and to be labeling this as a suicide

92
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.120
is insane. Quote. My daughter loved life and was excited

93
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.199
to graduate and pursue her career in law. Austin ped

94
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.680
and Detective Marshall is not doing his job. How is

95
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.279
it that certain friends left immediately and the person who

96
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.120
was living at the apartment complex vacated her apartment asap.

97
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.319
So let's take the accidental fall theory first, and we

98
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.839
have the benefit of her mother posting a picture on

99
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.560
Facebook and in the background, I don't know if this

100
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.000
was taken the same day or when this was taken,

101
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.480
but it was from the same balcony that was on

102
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:11.079
that seventeenth floor where Brianna allegedly jumped off, and will

103
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.079
get into that, but the picture says a lot because

104
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.079
her daughter was five foot two and the railing in

105
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.439
this picture from that balcony is nearly four feet high.

106
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.079
So right off the bat, you can take the theory

107
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:34.439
that she accidentally fell off of that balcony, because there's

108
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.120
simply no way when you're five foot two you can

109
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.879
accidentally fall off of a railing of a building that

110
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.800
is forty four inches high. It's impossible. You can't slept

111
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.759
and fall off of the freaking balcony. So right off

112
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.680
the bat, that theory accidental. There's just no way that

113
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.519
can happen. So the only other two possibilities are left

114
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.920
is someone throw off the balcony or she jumped off

115
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.759
the balcony, and that would be kind of hard to do.

116
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.279
You gotta climb over the balcony railing. But it's not impossible.

117
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.079
I mean, if she wanted to get off of that balcony,

118
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.639
she could have boosted herself up or pulled herself up.

119
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.680
You could do that in theory if you were wanting

120
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.560
to end your life. So police investigate this and very

121
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.000
quickly too, quickly. In my opinion, they come up with

122
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.080
a determination and they air, if you will. They voiced

123
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.399
this investigation determination at a press conference, and they give

124
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.240
their narrative and the results of that investigation. So I'm

125
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.840
going to play you that in its entirety. It's about

126
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.919
fifteen minutes in length, and then we'll talk about it.

127
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.759
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for being here. First,

128
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.879
I want to offer my deepest condolences to Brianna at

129
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.320
Guillari's family, friends and loved ones. I stand before you

130
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.279
as the chief of police, but first and foremost as

131
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.399
a mother. I have three daughters and a son, and

132
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.679
I cannot begin to imagine the pain that Brionna's family

133
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.480
is feeling. As a parent, none of us want to

134
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.120
contemplate the loss of a child, and again, my heart

135
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.360
aches for them. Before I turn this over to our

136
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.480
lead detective, I want to be clear about a few things.

137
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.919
It is not common for a police department to speak

138
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.120
publicly about a death by suicide, but inaccurate information has

139
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.960
circulated and been reported, and that has led to additional

140
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.759
harm of innocent people, bullying included and their families. There

141
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.879
have also been statements suggesting the police have failed to

142
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.399
do our jobs. Those statements are not accurate. I understand

143
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.840
how grief and the need for answers can raise intense

144
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:56.679
emotions and many questions, but sometimes sometimes the truth doesn't

145
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.159
provide the answers we are hoping for, and that is

146
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:04.080
this case. Please know that careful investigations take time. We

147
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:09.679
must interview witnesses, collect evidence, and piece together facts. Releasing

148
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.639
partial information too early can depardize the integrity of that case.

149
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:15.600
I want to assure.

150
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.519
Everyone that our team worked around the clock. These guys

151
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.399
do not sleep, They work at around the clock on

152
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.840
this case, and many of them are parents themselves. We

153
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.080
used every available resource, interviewed numerous people, gathered evidence because

154
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:36.360
we too want to understand what happened to Brianna, who

155
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.360
was clearly loved by so many. I want to thank

156
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.399
our homicide unit and Victim Services for their thorough work

157
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.519
on this investigation and providing support for everyone that has

158
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.759
been involved. I'm now going to turn it over to

159
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:56.879
Detective Marshall, who will walk us through the timeline.

160
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:57.759
First.

161
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.799
Like to start off by saying that our deep, deep,

162
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.639
bat sympathies and condolences go out to Brionn and her family.

163
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.039
During this investigation, we've had a chance. I've had a

164
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.559
chance to speak with numerous members of our family and

165
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.799
friend group, both here in Austin and College Sane and Laredo.

166
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.200
All of them, it's completely apparent that she was very

167
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:21.000
much loved. Every friend and witness during this investigation has

168
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.840
been nothing but forthcoming and open during the entire time

169
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.440
I've spoken with them. I've been in contact with dozens

170
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879
of people over the past week, and every single one

171
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.600
of them has answered my calls, my text, submitted to interviews,

172
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.000
and helped give answers from the moment that I've asked

173
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.480
for that help. This also includes several people submitting to

174
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:44.440
second interviews freely and without hesitation. The location this happened at,

175
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.440
the twenty one Reeo apartments have also been helpful.

176
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:48.960
Since the very beginning of this investigation.

177
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.720
They've allowed us around the clock access to the apartment

178
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.759
which Brianna was last seen at, as well as access

179
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.200
to their internal camera system, which has been very beneficial

180
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.039
and establishing it timeline.

181
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.080
Of that evening's events.

182
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.759
On Saturday, November twenty ninth, at approximately twelve forty six am,

183
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.960
the Awesome police officers responded to a call of a

184
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.840
deceased person located at twenty one oh one Rio Grand Street.

185
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.679
The decedent, later identified as Brianna Aguilera, was located on

186
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.240
the ground with trauma consistent to having fallen from a

187
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:27.879
higher floor. Brianna was pronounced deceeased at twelve fifty six am, I,

188
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.080
along with crime scene specialists, responded to process the scene

189
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.080
in interview witnesses. A witness informed officers that they had

190
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.879
heard a sound of a thud and then observed a

191
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.600
female on the ground. Initially, it was unknown if this

192
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.320
who the decedent was and when what floor she had fallen.

193
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.519
The medical examiner arrived on scene and the body was

194
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.960
taken to the Medical Examiner's office, where she was later

195
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.840
positively identified. In the meantime, I was able to contact

196
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.200
one of the employees at the twenty one Reel apartments

197
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.600
at approximately six am that same morning. Staff at twenty

198
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.639
one Rio were cooperative throughout this entire investigation. By approximately

199
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.720
ten am, we were able to access the camera's system

200
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:16.720
inside the apartment complex. Just after eleven pm on Friday,

201
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.600
November twenty eighth, and that she went into a specific

202
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:24.600
apartment on the seventeenth floor video surve sorry. Video surveillance

203
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.399
has confirmed that a large group of friends left that

204
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.279
same apartment at twelve thirty am on November twenty ninth,

205
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.960
leaving just Brianna and three other girls in the apartment.

206
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:36.679
Now.

207
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:41.159
On Saturday, November twenty ninth, at approximately twelve fifty four pm, I,

208
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.039
along with patrol officers, made contact with the residents of

209
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.320
that specific apartment that Brianna had been observed going into.

210
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.159
The residents informed me that they were trying to report

211
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.919
that their friend Brianna was missing. I was able later

212
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:55.919
to confirm they had in fact placed a nine to

213
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.919
one to one call at twelve fourteen pm earlier that

214
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.080
afternoon to report their friend Brianna was missing. They informed

215
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.600
me that they were hosting friends for the Texas A

216
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.960
and In football game, and that Brianna was supposed to

217
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.600
be staying there that preceding evening. I spoke with three

218
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.639
different female witnesses on scene, as well as later a

219
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.279
fourth witness was left earlier that morning. The investigation showed

220
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.360
that Briann had been at a tailgate party earlier in

221
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.120
the day and became intoxicated to a point that she

222
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:26.480
was asked to leave the same tailgate. She had told

223
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.879
her friends that she had lost her phone at some

224
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.879
point near that tailgate. They had all returned to the apartment,

225
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.559
where Brianna borrowed a phone of a friend to call

226
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.600
an out of town boyfriend. Witnesses heard Brianna arguing on

227
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:42.000
the phone with her boyfriend, which was also confirmed later

228
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:46.679
by the boyfriend. Phones from both the phone Brianna used

229
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.320
and the boyfriend's phone have confirmed through call.

230
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.159
Logs if that call did occur now.

231
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.879
This call occurred at approximately twelve forty three to twelve

232
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.919
forty four am, approximately one minute. This is two minutes

233
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.000
before the nine one one call of the body found

234
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.679

235
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.799
it was found that Brianna's mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, had called

236
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.879
the Austin Police Department at twelve fifty pm. This was

237
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.240
in an attempt to locate Brianna. Rodriguez called back an

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.919
hour later at two pm, stating that the location of

239
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.120
her daughter's stating the location of her daughter's missing phone.

240
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.720
The phone was located by Austin Police officers in a

241
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.120
wooded area by three point thirty pm that afternoon, near

242
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.759
Walnut Creek in a field by the Austin Rugby Club.

243
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.679
Through this investigation, it was found that Brianna had attended

244
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.519
the tailgate on Friday, November twenty eighth at the Austin

245

247
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.960
Brionn was asked to leave the tailgate, she had repeatedly

248
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.600
dropped her phone and staggered into a nearby wooded area,

249
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.320
where her phone and other items were later located by

250
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:59.080
Austin Police. Just after four pm on Saturday, November twenty ninth,

251
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.440

The scene page Homicide to inform.

253
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.000
Them that they had located the property belonging to Brianna

254
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.679
and determined that there was also a separate disease person

255
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.679
call with the same name. Rodriguez was notified a Brianna's

256
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.440
death just before five pm. Brihanna's phone was placed with

257
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.480
the rest of her property still on the seventeenth floor

258
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.679
of the apartment for her family to later receive. On Monday,

259
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.840
December first, the mother and father Brianna met with victim

260
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.039
Services and those of US in the Homicide office at

261
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:33.159
Police headquarters. There, Rodriguez turned over Brianna's phone and gave

262
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:33.799
it back to us.

263
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.440
A further review at Brianna's phone.

264
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:43.039
Shows a deleted digital suicide note dated Tuesday, November twenty fifth,

265
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.679
which was written to specific people in her life from

266
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.360
the moment this call originated up until now, Between all

267
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.840
of the witness statements, all of the video evidence, and

268
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.080
all of the digital evidence collected, at no time did

269
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.519
any evidence point to this being anything of a criminal nameture. Rather,

270
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.680
our investigation is revealed that, unfortunately, Brianna had made suicidal

271
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.480
comments previously to friends back in.

272
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:09.480
October of this year.

273
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.680
This continued through the evening of her death, with some

274
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.119
self harming actions earlier in the evening and a text

275
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.400
message to another friend indicating the thought of suicide. We

276
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.880
recognize that hearing news like this can be difficult and

277
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.559
may affect members of the community in very personal ways.

278
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.599
If you are someone you know as experiencing emotional distress

279
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.440
or mental health struggles, support is available. You can call

280

283
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.039
five one two four seven two four three five seven

284
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.960
to be connected with local crisis services, including mobile response teams.

285
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:54.359
No one should have to navigate these kind of crisises alone.

286
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:56.400
No questions.

287
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.759
Now open up questions.

288
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:07.400
Job.

289
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.400
A couple of things.

290
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:16.160
Was the mom made aware of these previously settle comments

291
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.519
when you guys figured that.

292
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.119
Out during the investigation.

293
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.200
And I know a big part of this is trying

294
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.720
to address some online speculations.

295
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.920
So I just wanted to bring out something that people

296
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.799
have roppen up about concerns about fights that Bryana may

297
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.160
have gotten in with other people in that apartment in

298
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:30.799
your addresses.

299
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.240
Sure.

300
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:32.359
The first part.

301
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.480
First, I've been I was in contact with Granda's mother

302
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.039
beginning Saturday afternoon.

303
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.119
We spoke through Sunday and Monday through the meeting here.

304
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.000
Since it, I've attempted four times to contact her, telling

305
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.680
I wanted to share this information privately. She did not

306
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.799
reply to any of my attempts to talk to her

307
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.640
until yesterday afternoon, where she asked me to talk to

308
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.240
her lawyer. So I've not been in contact with her mother. However,

309
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.640
her father I have been in contact with. He knows

310
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.880
all of this information as of yesterday. And then secondly,

311
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.720
the fight. There have been online reports of a fight.

312
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.519
The only evidence that we have of any kind of

313
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.640
physical altercation was Brianna punching one of her friends as

314
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.119
they tried to help her out of the party.

315
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.559
We have no evidence of any other altercation.

316
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.599
God, and the witnesses that y'all talk to if.

317
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.000
Any reason why they didn't call nine point one.

318
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:20.759
Or earlier.

319
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:22.400
That night.

320
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.240
So most of those witnesses between the time of night

321
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:28.119
that it was, they slept for some periods of time.

322
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:29.599
They do some text messages.

323
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.119
They were worried, they assumed because so many friends from

324
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.640
their hometown were here in Austin, staying at different locations.

325
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.519
They had assumed she probably just went back out with

326
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.200
another friend group that was in the immediate area and

327
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.079
just nobody had any idea.

328
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.480
Did anyone watch her?

329
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.400
Who who in the val No, ma'am, no, we have

330
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.400
no evidence to suggest that.

331
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.240
Can you share more about that deleted note that you mentioned?

332
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.480
When was that deleted?

333
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.039
And you have information about.

334
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:56.720
How that was deleted?

335
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.160
So that phone is currently with our digital friends six

336
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.480
units to be is being processed as of last night.

337
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:06.559
I just know the date of it.

338
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.799
I don't know exactly when it was type, but it

339
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:10.960
was I found in the deleted items folder, and that's

340
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.079
about all I can say at this point.

341
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.079
The date from the deleted item was from November the

342
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.279
twenty fifth, so it appears that's when it was written.

343
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:25.279
Yeah, in the absence of the chatter that happened online.

344
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.359
About this, how would you have handled this investigation?

345
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:32.559
I hated the chatter as probably as much as her

346
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.759
family and everybody and the living witnesses hate it. The

347
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.279
problem is, I can't make a public statement until I

348
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.079
interview everyone, and several of these people we had interviewed two times.

349
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.279
Video takes hours and hours.

350
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.559
Not only to get but then to go through and

351
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.279
process and look at her phone takes hours to go through.

352
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.039
I've never been a part of an investigation that's happened

353
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.079
as fast as I wanted to.

354
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.880
We've always wanted to go faster.

355
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.359
But in this case, so many people knew her, so

356
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.720
many people want to help us just to dig th

357
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.359
all the information.

358
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.119
Unfortunately it has taken three or four days.

359
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.359
How certain would you say?

360
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:08.319
All are sorry?

361
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:09.000
Tore's name?

362
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.119
Certain your art and this this.

363
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.359
Determination just every investigation we have to rely on the evidence,

364
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.079
and all evidence in this case is indicative of suicide.

365
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.759
Yeah, anyway, can you share a little bit more about

366
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.680
who was inside the apartment at the time that she

367
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.200
fell and did you reallyble to speak all of those people?

368
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.160
I won't share their names obviously.

369
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.359
Yes, I've been able to speak with every single person

370
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.759
in there, all of them multiple times. Actually throughout this

371
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.480
they were just all friends. Again, this is only a

372
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.359
large friend boup from from the radio.

373
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:50.079
Yeah.

374
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.599
Is there anything that you can share about what she

375
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:54.000
was last seen wearing.

376
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.960
I've forcome a couple of people that we were questioning,

377
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.920
some of your war Joe that was seen after after.

378
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.119
The ball, I'll speak to that.

379
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.680
She was found wearing the same stuff she was wearing

380
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:09.240
at the tailgate. Part of the reason it took four

381
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.960
hours for the video surveillance, she was wearing something slightly

382
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.680
different when she arrived back at the apartment, so that

383
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.799
kind of threw things off to actually locate her. But

384
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.279
she was wearing these xame stuff from early movie.

385
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:24.440
It took a bit, I would say.

386
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.599
To notify the mom.

387
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.519
Was that because they had to go through indeed and

388
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:32.920
do the identification with what kind of was to.

389
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.720
Be sure, Yeah, it took a while to positively identify her.

390
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.160
But on top of that, as Detective Marshall had.

391
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:42.519
Mentioned about round two pm on that Saturdays when they'd

392
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.319
actually set the gears in motion to try to notify her.

393
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.160
So she had called about twelve fifty and she was

394
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:49.440
notified that same afternoon.

395
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.599
We'll take two more questions.

396
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.400
You mentioned an arguments with her boyfriend before her death.

397
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.720
How soon did that happen for her death?

398
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.720
Be able to make contact with him as well?

399
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.960
So I have spoken with him multiple times. That phone

400
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.279
call happened approximately two minutes before the nine to one

401
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.599
one call of her reporting her on the sidewalk.

402
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.599
Part of her mob's questioning is that you talked to

403
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.920
friends or people that were in the apartment till Sunday.

404
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:20.480
Can we maybe you said it the timeline? Can you

405
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.680
tell us again when you started telling to people.

406
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.480
We first identified the apartment very late morning early afternoon

407
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.759
on Saturday. We talked to them immediately that very same time.

408
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.319
And like I said, since we've spoken multiple times to

409
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.519
everyone that was in the apartment.

410
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:36.680
Good.

411
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.519
There a little bit different than question, but she is nineteen,

412
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.880
an underage or any people just got asked any people.

413
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.119
Being investigated for supplying the alcohol to her.

414
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.200
That would be a better question for Texas Alcohol Beverage

415
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.240
Commission TBC. I've been in very brief contact with them,

416
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.160
but I don't know the STATUSUD so less.

417
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.240
I pack quickly what we just heard. The police version

418
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.039
of this in their I don't know if I call

419
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.920
it allegations, but their results as far as what they

420
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:13.640
came up with in that investigation, and the first thing

421
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.400
I want to say is, Wow, that chief of police

422
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:22.960
was very defensive. I mean, she offers condolences, but in

423
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.960
a very dry manner. She came off very defensive. I

424
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:31.440
found it very insensitive to the family. It was just

425
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:35.319
the tone of the entire press conference, but especially as

426
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:39.240
it relates to the chief was not right. Now, as

427
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:41.200
it relates to some of the things we found out

428
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:43.920
in that press conference from the police. I have a

429
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:49.359
major issue with her friends reporting Brianna missing around twelve

430
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:54.880
to fifteen pm. The next day, you have all this activity,

431
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.200
A body has been found at the bottom of this

432
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:04.119
apartment complex. There's police everywhere, ambulances everywhere. I'm sure that

433
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.640
morning and your claim was you had no idea where

434
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:14.279
Brianna was, but you did find the need to call

435
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.799
nine to one one and let them know she was

436
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.440
missing at twelve fifteen pm. That's just kind of weird

437
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:25.279
to me, Like nobody woke up, and you know, news

438
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:29.839
travels fast, especially among like college dormitories like this. I

439
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.160
don't care how many how many stories it is. News

440
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.720
travels fast. Nobody said, oh my god, a girl jumped

441
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.039
off a balcony this morning, or they found somebody dead

442
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:46.599
on you know, concrete at the bottom of this college dormitory.

443
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:52.720
It's just bizarre to me. And then when you notice

444
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.160
she's missing, you don't call around to a bunch of

445
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.920
other friends that aren't in the building with you. The

446
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.480
first thing you do is call police. It seems kind

447
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.839
of weird too. I mean, she could have just got

448
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.359
up and left the apartment and no one knew. Why

449
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.240
would they not call her parents or call some of

450
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:10.799
her friends that weren't at the apartment and say, hey,

451
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.599
did Brianna talk to you this morning? She's not here.

452
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.160
I find that very weird. They also discussed a little

453
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.319
bit about the mother pinging her daughter's phone, if you will,

454
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.440
pulling up the app, finding out where her daughter's phone

455
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.519
was located. And it was found by a creek. They

456
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:32.960
mentioned that. They also brought up that Brianna was supposedly inebriated.

457
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:38.079
There's no TX cology report though yet, and she may

458
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.880
have in fact been ineborated, and maybe they interviewed some

459
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.240
people and they said, oh, yeah, she was drunk, all

460
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.079
those sorts of things. Nineteen year old college students, right,

461
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.960
But you still are going out on the record saying

462
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.839
this before you even have those results back. Kind of weird.

463
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:01.799
They mentioned a suicide note that was found and more

464
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.519
on that later. They mentioned they found that on a

465
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.440
computer and it had been deleted. But you're going to

466
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.519
find out some information as we go along on that

467
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.319
whole deal. That kind of blows that up. And they

468
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:19.079
mentioned that she had suicidal comments preceding her death when

469
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.720
they interviewed friends, and you're going to find out more

470
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:26.240
on that later as well. That may blow up that theory.

471
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.240
They also mentioned she had an argument with her boyfriend,

472
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.640
but they didn't really go into detail on it. I mean,

473
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.680
what did she say during that argument that's important? Did

474
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.920
it spur this? Did she say I'm going to jump

475
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.920
off this building as a law you know, as soon

476
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.680
as I get off the phone with you. We don't know,

477
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:50.400
they didn't say anything about that. It leads to me

478
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:53.359
to believe that that comment wasn't made because I think

479
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.279
if they're trying to prove their case, if you will,

480
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.200
that she did commit suicide and she said something like

481
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.720
that to her boyfriend, they would have mentioned two minutes

482
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.720
before she jumped off the building, she told her boyfriend

483
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.640
she was jumping off the building. That never came up.

484
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:16.119
And incidentally, in fact, two minutes before she jumped, she

485
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:20.119
used her friend's phone, And we'll get into that in

486
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.640
just a minute. And I want to say, allegedly jumped,

487
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.039
so a lot of questions even though they held this

488
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.960
press conference and made this determination that she had indeed

489
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.960
took her own life. Now, this press conference with the

490
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:40.839
police took place on December fourth, and then on December fifth,

491
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:46.200
the very next day, we discover via the Famili's press

492
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:51.880
conference that they have hired none other than super attorney,

493
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.519
if you will, Tony Busby. Now the same Tony Busby

494
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.359
that has one hundred plus lawsuits against Diddy. And I've

495
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:05.920
told you plenty about Tony Busby, so if you're curious

496
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:08.559
about who he is as an attorney, go back and

497
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.000
listen to you know, conglomerate of episodes on this feed.

498
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:16.640
But he is based out of Texas, and he holds

499
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.680
a press conference and he brings up a whole another

500
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:22.799
point of view. So I want you to hear that,

501
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.480
and you'll also hear from the mother for the first

502
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.319
time in this press conference. So here's that, and then

503
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:31.119
we'll talk about it.

504
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:35.759
I want to introduce you all to Stephanie Rodriguez and

505
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:44.279
Manuel Aguilera. Now, I saw on social media some comments

506
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.759
about the lawyers that are involved here. One recurring comment

507
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.519
was he gets paid either way. I want to make

508
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.799
sure we're clear on something. We don't get paid either way.

509
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.880
We're doing this for reasons more than money. This family

510
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:09.960
lost their daughter the day after Thanksgiving, mere weeks before Christmas.

511
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.160
Brianna was a girl who had the world at her feet.

512
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.319
Her whole life was in front of her. She was

513
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.440
a girl with big plans and big dreams. She was

514
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:25.319
an honor student, a former cheerleader, a proud sophomore at

515
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:28.039
my alma mater, Texas A and M. She was a

516
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:31.079
political science major and wanted to be a future lawyer.

517
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.519
I just found out from her mother that the last

518
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.759
time I spoke to the pre Law Society at Texas

519
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:42.319
A and M. Brianna was in the audience. We refused

520
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:46.799
to believe that this young woman committed suicide. Why because

521
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:50.480
she was not suicidal. Contrary to what has been sloppidly

522
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.680
reported in many cases by a lot of the people here.

523
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:58.160
She did not engage in self harm. She had never

524
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.680
tried to hurt herself before. So why are these groups

525
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:06.759
of lawyers engaged in this? Because this family wants the truth.

526
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.279
They're entitled to the truth. We were asked by these

527
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.599
parents who loved their daughter to find the truth of

528
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.519
what happened to her. They didn't feel like they were

529
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:22.440
getting thorough information from the Austin Police Department. And despite

530
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.079
what the detective said yesterday or maybe implied yesterday, it's

531
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.799
kind of hard to figure out what he was saying.

532
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:33.519
This is very much an ongoing investigation. I've been around

533
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:40.720
a long time. Good investigations lead to conclusions. Bad investigations

534
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:43.720
start with a conclusion and then they try to support

535
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:47.599
the conclusion through the investigation. It's clear to me, based

536
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.240
on what this detective and the things that he said

537
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:52.519
to Stephan, it's clear to me that he had made

538
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.240
a decision immediately about what his conclusion was and then

539
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:01.240
went about trying to support it. Boston Police Department formed

540
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.279
a conclusion within hours of this tragedy that this was

541
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:09.559
a suicide without any investigation. This family had a horrible tragedy,

542
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.519
and the communication from the Austin Police Department was so

543
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.400
bad that the family became concerned enough to engage me

544
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.160
and my colleagues at Gamez Law, and they also asked

545
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.839
the public for help with proper communication. This matter would

546
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.920
be treated like most investigations, where no information is shared

547
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.880
until actually after the investigation is complete. But what did

548
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:33.640
we see yesterday? What we saw yesterday was a hurried,

549
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.960
rushed press conference. And I think we all can agree

550
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.039
the reason they had a press conference yesterday is because

551
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.240
they knew that we were going to have this conference today.

552
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.640
They gave the family no notice of the press conference.

553
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:48.640
They sent two emails, and then the detective went on

554
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:53.400
camera in front of millions of people and told everybody

555
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.720
that this young lady committed suicide. Ironically, the same thing

556
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.599
he told Stephanie the mother, within a few minutes of

557
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:07.920
talking to her, without any investigation. That's not the way

558
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.839
it's supposed to be done. The family had dared to

559
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:15.079
ask questions about what was going on and what had

560
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.200
been learned by the investigation was then punished with leaks

561
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.000
to millions of people from the Austin Police Department, to

562
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:29.640
the detriment of their daughter and to their daughter's memory.

563
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.599
So we were hired to assist this family in finding

564
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:36.240
the truth, and we've been doing that. But everyone knows

565
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:39.640
that investigations are supposed to remain confidential until the investigation

566
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.200
is complete. And why is that? And that's because you

567
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.759
don't want to tamper with potential witnesses, or scare off witnesses,

568
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:51.079
or create a false narrative or color witnesses interpretation of

569
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:56.160
the facts. Everything that that detective did yesterday, that's exactly

570
00:33:56.160 --> 00:34:04.880
what he did. Do you realize that the autopsy has

571
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:08.760
not been completed? Now, won't you let that soak in

572
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.800
for a minute. The autopsy has not been completed. The

573
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.000
Medical Examiner's office told us that it will not be

574
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.679
completed for sixty to ninety days. Yet you had to

575
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.000
lead the so called lead detective in front of millions

576
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.599
of people saying that he had concluded that this was

577
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:28.880
a suicide Now, how unprofessional is that the police department

578
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.639
asked the medical examiner to do a toxicology report. We

579
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:34.880
don't have the results of that toxicology report. Yet this

580
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.119
investigator stood in front of all of you and said

581
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.079
that he had concluded this was a suicide, even though

582
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:42.719
by law he doesn't have the authority to make that conclusion.

583
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:48.320
Only the medical examiner has that authority. The police department

584
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:52.719
also asked for a rape kit to be done. They

585
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.920
admitted to us yesterday in his zoom called that, Well,

586
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:56.320
if they do the rape kit, we don't even know

587
00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:00.599
where they're going to send it to. This is what

588
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:03.760
we're dealing with, and that's the reason we're involved. It's

589
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:08.159
like the Keystone cops over there in Austin, and it's

590
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.880
incredibly frustrating to this family. Why would the Austin Police

591
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:20.760
Department hurriedly perform or set up a press conference and

592
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:24.599
leak details of the investigation and suggests to you that

593
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.719
there was a suicide note without the medical examiner ever

594
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:35.800
even performing their job. Why would they do that? Now,

595
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:37.760
what he told us, I'll tell you what the investigator

596
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.679
told us. He says, Oh, my goodness, gracious, the witnesses

597
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:48.280
are getting death threats. I said, from whom, why, no answer,

598
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:53.559
because it's foolishness, absolute foolishness, And it's that kind of

599
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:58.039
conduct that caused the family to try to find somebody

600
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:02.639
separate from the Austin Police Department to investigate this. We

601
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.320
don't have a toxicology report, we don't have a rape report,

602
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:07.039
we don't have a cause of death, and none of

603
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.360
those things. Don't put that on top of that, None

604
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:16.440
of those are conclusions that a police detective, a corporal

605
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.400
can make. He doesn't have the statutory authority to determine

606
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.960
the cause of death. And I'm surprised that none of

607
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.480
you even made that ask that question. He gave you

608
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.480
an opportunity to ask questions. Not one of you said, Hey,

609
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:34.880
wait a minute, detective, when did the state of Texas

610
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.960
give you the legislative authority to determine cause of death?

611
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:41.199
I thought, only either a JP, if there's no medical

612
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.480
examiner or a medical examiner could do that. Is that

613
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:45.760
what the medical examiner has done? He would have said

614
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.039
to you, No, actually the medical examiner hasn't even completed

615
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:55.679
his autopsy. But none of you asked that question. You

616
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:58.480
just bought everything that he said, hook line and sinker

617
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:01.840
and then you pull was Most of the things that

618
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.239
I saw on Instagram in the newspaper were cause of

619
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:12.639
death determined. Young lady committed suicide. That's irresponsible. That's irresponsible.

620
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.920
You should not do that. You should say, wait a minute, detective,

621
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:22.840
how many times have you been written up and reprimanded? Detective?

622
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.320
Wait a minute, when did you have the statutory authority,

623
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:35.599
detective to determine cause of death? Detective? That's your job, now,

624
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:41.360
it's my job. The public dissemination of information by the

625
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.800
Austin Police Department during an investigation the way it was

626
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:51.559
done yesterday is unethical, unprofessional, and incredibly damaging to an objective,

627
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.199
unbiased investigation. And it's also damaging to the memory of

628
00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:03.960
this child. All this family is asking for is a thorough, complete, unbiased,

629
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:09.760
open minded investigation. That's all they're asking for. That's what

630
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.199
any parent would ask for whose child went to college,

631
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.960
went to a game, lost her for several hours, and

632
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:22.559
then find out hours and hours later that she supposedly

633
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:27.480
jumped off a balcony, and with just a few questions,

634
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.400
a few pointed questions, quickly figure out that these investigators,

635
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.559
this so called investigator did not know what he was

636
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:38.639
talking about. We're going to get into that. You can't

637
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:42.119
close a case before you even have the cause of

638
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:48.800
death from the medical examiner, period, full stop. You don't

639
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:53.280
have that right, you don't have that authority. We have

640
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.000
to get this right. This is not just for this family,

641
00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:59.280
this is for any family. You have to get this right.

642
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:02.920
You can't close a book in the middle of reading

643
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:05.280
a chapter and say that that's closed and it's over.

644
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.519
That's not how it works. You can't misclassify a death

645
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:12.280
like this. When you misclassify a death, you're planting a

646
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:20.159
lie in the soil where truth should grow. Now, as

647
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:24.679
I said, to her credit, Stephanie Rodriguez was very close

648
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:27.280
to her daughter or to her daughter, very close, talked

649
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.480
to her daily, knew everything that she was up to,

650
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:37.119
everything that she was doing. The very first interaction she

651
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.000
had with the detective from the Austin Police Department, he

652
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:46.960
told her, your daughter committed suicide. The very first reaction,

653
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.480
the very first interaction. At that point, he hadn't talked

654
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.000
to one witness, he hadn't seen her phone, he hadn't

655
00:39:54.039 --> 00:40:01.639
done anything. That's sloppy and irresponsible. He claims she made

656
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.320
suicidal comments. He told us in the zoom call. She

657
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.239
made suicidal comments. You know what he was talking about

658
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.519
the other day. When I was talking to a friend

659
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:10.760
the other day, I said, Man, you're gonna make me

660
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.920
jump off a bridge. That's what he's talking about. Silliness

661
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:22.679
like that. He later claimed she was making those kinds

662
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.039
of statements on the day of the night that she died.

663
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.119
If that's case, why of their friends leave her out

664
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:34.320
on the balcony by herself if that's true, Because it's

665
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:39.360
not true. None of the things that we've been told

666
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:41.840
by the Austin Police Department are consistent with the actual

667
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:47.440
facts that we've learned. The detective was talking about suicide

668
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.760
before he was ever given her phone. Then he gets

669
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:55.840
into her phone and he sees an essay that she wrote,

670
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.719
and he calls it a suicide note. She took creative

671
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:03.000
writing the semester before. I don't know what this purpose

672
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:04.480
of that. We'll never know what the purpose of what

673
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.039
she wrote and deleted, But this is the suggestion was

674
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:16.840
that she left a quote suicide note, total malarkey, total malarkey.

675
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:20.119
Something she wrote on the twenty fifth. She talked to

676
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.480
her mother on the twenty fifth, she was with her boyfriend.

677
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.239
On the night of the twenty fifth, she was talked

678
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.079
to her mother every single day after that. We see

679
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:29.480
pictures of her smiling, We see pictures of her having fun,

680
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:30.719
we see pictures of her partying.

681
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:32.400
Total belogning.

682
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.679
What they're trying to sell to you?

683
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:35.199
And why?

684
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.320
Am I suggesting that there's some kind of conspiracy. No,

685
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:42.760
I'm suggesting they're lazy and they're incompetent. Just so unclear.

686
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.880
I'm not suggesting any sort of conspiracy that the Austin

687
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:49.159
that there's some kind of somebody in power that wants

688
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.480
this to got No, I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting

689
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.280
that there's incompetence and laziness on the part of the detective.

690
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:04.639
That's what I'm suggesting. The suggestion but they've made is

691
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.719
she wrote an essay because it's not a note. She

692
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:11.239
wrote an essay on the twenty fifth that she deleted,

693
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.880
and then she goes and kills herself five days later,

694
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:22.119
four days later. This is their logic. It's really ridiculous.

695
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:29.000
So you know a few things they haven't. They didn't

696
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.400
bother to even explain. I don't even know what they

697
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:36.440
did honestly, I know what we've done. We sent someone

698
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.760
to the apartment. We had someone take the dimensions of

699
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.480
the apartment. We had somebody measure the railing and the

700
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:46.400
height of the railing. We know how tall Brianna was.

701
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:49.400
She was five to two. The railing's forty four inches.

702
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:55.199
You don't fall over it. There's no furniture out in

703
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.320
the balcony. There's nothing to climb up on to jump off.

704
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:04.000
Anyone's on that little balcony. It's literally as big as

705
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:06.519
this it's a little bitty old balcony and there's a

706
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.280
window just like that that you can see onto the balcony.

707
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:13.679
The apartment is like a dorm. It's very small. There's

708
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:15.840
no way you can be in that apartment and hide.

709
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:18.039
If you're in the apartment, people know you're in the apartment.

710
00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:20.559
It's a little small apartment. No offense to the apartment complex,

711
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:23.280
but that's what it is. It's like a little double

712
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:27.639
room dorm with a small balcony with no furniture. These

713
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:30.679
are easy things to find out, things that you would say,

714
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:32.480
Wait a minute, you're saying that this young lady was

715
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:35.960
out on the balcony and she was five to two,

716
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.079
she had to somehow climb over the railing to try

717
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:41.039
to kill herself. Then, certainly you guys could see that,

718
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.719
certainly you knew that was happening. How could that possibly be.

719
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:48.519
It doesn't make any sense because it didn't happen that way.

720
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:51.880
She was one hundred pounds five foot two. There's no

721
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:58.000
way she could fall over that railing. Accidentally. There's no

722
00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:59.840
way to be on the balcony and you be inside

723
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:02.400
and not know somebody's on the balcony. It's not possible.

724
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.199
It's almost impossible to be inside the apartment and not

725
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.519
know somebody's in the apartment with you, even though there's

726
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:17.280
two little bedrooms. This is called common sense. I'll tell

727
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.360
you what's most concerning. They didn't explore the fight that

728
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:25.000
Brianna apparently had with somebody at the tailgate at the

729
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:28.480
at the Austin Rugby Club. I think she went to

730
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.480
what was the name of the tailgate that they had there,

731
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:38.199
some student organization Latin Economic Business Latin Economic Business development

732
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.280
tailgate at the Austin Rugby Club. There was an altercation

733
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:49.119
between her and another female. No investigation of that. Turns

734
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:51.639
out that other female was in the apartment with her.

735
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:59.119
That night, there was a witness between twelve thirty and

736
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:01.840
one am who posted on TikTok. Many of you have

737
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:05.920
seen it. Young man posted on TikTok that he could

738
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.840
hear up above at around the seven sea floor in

739
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:16.239
that general area, fighting, screaming, somebody saying get off of me,

740
00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:23.159
and then a muffled sound. He posted it got many

741
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:25.119
many views. You can get on TikTok and look at

742
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:27.280
it now. We talked to him this morning. You guess what,

743
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:30.639
here's the iron here's the irony, or maybe here's a tragedy.

744
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:35.519
The police didn't bother to talk to him. Now, why

745
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:42.199
wouldn't they talk to him? He had incredibly specific information

746
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:46.880
about what he heard. He could hear it loud enough,

747
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:49.199
he could hear the words that were spoken get off

748
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:54.079
of me, and screaming, and then a muffled cry. Between

749
00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:57.719
twelve thirty and one pm right next to the apartment.

750
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.079
We had an expert say, wait a minute, could he

751
00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:03.079
hear that? We had to engage inn experts to say

752
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:05.000
is it possible that he could actually hear that? The

753
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.360
expert said, absolutely, absolutely, could hear that. It makes a

754
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:12.800
lot of sense. Never talked to by the police. We

755
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.599
have a witness who was in the apartment across from

756
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:20.480
the apartment where this apparently occurred, who could hear running

757
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:24.480
back and forth and screaming, And then she said, I

758
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:29.320
could tell something bad had happened. Did y'all know this.

759
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:34.000
Ridiculous?

760
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:40.320
Her entire family was in the apartment. The police could

761
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:47.039
have talked to her and several other people. They failed

762
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:49.079
to look into the anonymous message that was sent. There

763
00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:51.840
was an anonymous message that was posted that said, Hey,

764
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:56.280
I have specific information that this young lady was locked

765
00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:01.639
out on the balcony. Did you know that it's not

766
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.119
part of the investigation. Why is it not part of

767
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:08.559
the investigation? Because they made their decision literally within minutes,

768
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:15.800
within minutes. Now here's where it gets a little dicey.

769
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:19.000
And here's where I'm I want to be very careful

770
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.320
because I don't want to be accusing anybody, because I'm

771
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:25.159
not accusing anybody other than the APD, the Austin Police Department,

772
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:30.000
of not doing its job. At first, we were told

773
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.840
that she jumped from the balcony and the three ladies,

774
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.559
the three young women that were in the apartment, and

775
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.039
we're talking about, as I said, a tiny, little apartment,

776
00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:44.159
were asleep and didn't know where she was. That's what

777
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:49.679
we were told. First, that they were asleep, they didn't

778
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:51.639
even know she was on the balcony. They didn't know

779
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:53.960
where she was, and that's the reason why they didn't

780
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:58.360
call the police until twelve fifteen the next day. That's

781
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:02.320
what we were told. That's part of the cops timeline. Okay,

782
00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:08.920
put up the timeline, right, they said, according to the plot,

783
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.079
we haven't talked to them who were in the apartment,

784
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.360
three of them, one of which was the lessor or

785
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.400
the less ee of the apartment, who vacated the apartment

786
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.760
the very next day and never went back. Did you

787
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:28.840
know that this is the timeline that the police gave

788
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:33.360
us yesterday. This is the timeline. And if you can't

789
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:35.800
look at that timeline in one second point out the

790
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.000
problem of that timeline, then you're not doing your job.

791
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.480
We'll get to it. So, first we're told that the

792
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:44.960
three women didn't know where she was and they were asleep.

793
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:48.440
That's what we were told, And that they didn't know

794
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:50.079
where she was. They were looking for and they were

795
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.599
texting her mom and it wasn't and they decided about

796
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:58.639
twelve what was it twelve fourteen the next day, hours

797
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:01.880
six hours later on MYS that they decided at that

798
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:03.639
point they couldn't find her, so they were going to

799
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:06.519
call the police. This is what we were told by

800
00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:11.199
the Austin Police Department. Lay aside what was heard happening

801
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.920
at about twelve thirty to one o'clock that night, lay

802
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.440
aside what the witness across the hall said. Lay aside

803
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:21.400
what the man down on the street said. Just disregard

804
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:24.840
all that. This is what the police say. It must

805
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:28.199
be right according to them, because they did such a

806
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:31.679
thorough investigation. This is what they gave us. Not one

807
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:36.800
of you have asked a question about it, not one

808
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:41.400
of you. But this is what they said. Her friends

809
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:44.039
called the police at twelve fourteen the next day because

810
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:47.440
they didn't know where she was. They hadn't seen her.

811
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.480
They thought maybe she'd win out. That's what they said.

812
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.280
Keep that in your mind. When I asked the police that, like,

813
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:58.400
wait a minute, how is that possible? How is that possible?

814
00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:00.440
A whole group of fourteen or so people came into

815
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:04.360
the apartment that night after they had been out partying.

816
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:09.400
They got there about eleven or so. Everybody left, right,

817
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:12.159
That's what they say, and it left just four girls there,

818
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:15.039
four young women, right, And the four young women, three

819
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.719
of them didn't call the police till twelve o'clock the

820
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:21.360
next day because they didn't know where she was. That's

821
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:26.960
what the police say. Lay aside what the witnesses have

822
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:28.840
said about that, and lay aside the fact that that's

823
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:30.920
a really small apartment. It's hard to get lost in

824
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:42.159
that little small apartment. I want you to look very

825
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:47.679
carefully the first entry on the timeline, according to the police,

826
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:59.719
let me walk over there. Rihanna did not have her phone.

827
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.079
She didn't have her phone, so she had to call

828
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.760
to make a call. According to the police, she borrowed

829
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:09.039
her friend's phone, meaning one of the three women that

830
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:12.199
was in the apartment. Now look at this very carefult.

831
00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:15.920
According to the police, she borrowed a friend's phone and

832
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:18.480
made a call from twelve forty three and it lasted

833
00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:27.360
one minute. At twelve forty six, two minutes later, the

834
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:31.880
police were responding to a nine one one call because

835
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.960
she was outside on the ground. Now do the math,

836
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.800
so you probably think, well, she must have she hunged

837
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:44.159
up her friend's phone and she just jumped. She hung

838
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:46.440
up the phone and she dropped on the balcony, she jumped.

839
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:55.320
First question you should have is where's the phone? What

840
00:51:55.360 --> 00:52:00.360
did she do with the phone? I asked the police

841
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:05.920
that three different times, three times. They sidestepped me every

842
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:09.280
time until this morning. They sidestepped me because they hadn't

843
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:13.360
thought about it, because they rushed to judgment. They finally

844
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:15.599
answered the question this morning. And you know what they

845
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.000
said to me this morning, And they said it and

846
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:22.920
they didn't even realize what they were telling me, because

847
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:29.760
they're so sloppy. I made them put it in writing.

848
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:36.760
I have it here, I'll read it to you. Austin

849
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.440
Police Department did not find the phone on miss Aguilera.

850
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:44.199
Miss Aguilera returned the phone to its owner before she

851
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:50.280
was seen going on to the balcony. Now, how is

852
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.719
that possible? That is one hundred and eighty degrees different

853
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:58.320
than what you told us previous. That is absolutely contrary

854
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:01.239
to what you told us previous. Previous you said the

855
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:04.719
three women were asleep, you said they didn't know where

856
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.239
she went. But then when I asked the one question

857
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.480
over and over and you had to answer it, then

858
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:13.400
all of a sudden we realized if she did in

859
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.679
fact use her friend's phone, like they claim, if she

860
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.280
did in fact use it for one minute and was

861
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:23.079
found already two minutes later by a passer by, and

862
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:25.400
the police were already responding to a nine to one

863
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:30.039
one call, think about that. What the ramifications of that

864
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:35.599
are that whoever her phone she was using, was standing

865
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.440
right next to her as she went over the balcony.

866
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:43.599
If she went over the balcony, Now you're saying to yourselves, well, shoot,

867
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.280
there's got to be a reasonable explanation.

868
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:51.519
We should talk to the witnesses. We should investigate, we

869
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:55.840
should figure this out. That's what we're saying. Now you're

870
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:56.280
getting it.

871
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:00.199
You sat there and with all due respect, but all

872
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:04.400
due respect, you all I watched it. You all sat there,

873
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:09.360
and you had this corporal or whatever he is, lead detective,

874
00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:13.920
and missus Rodriguez will tell you how he is and

875
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:16.719
her interactions with him in just one moment. But you

876
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:18.920
let him stand at a podium just like this and

877
00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:25.480
feed you total belogey. And all you had to do

878
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:30.639
is say, wait a minute, detective, Wait a minute. She

879
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:33.480
borrowed somebody's phone. Where is that phone? Maybe she must

880
00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:35.320
have went over the over the railing with it. She

881
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:38.239
had to give somebody no no she according to him,

882
00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:42.320
she returned it to its owner before she was seen

883
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:51.000
walking back out to the balcony. Absolutely impossible, very suspicious.

884
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:59.840
We have a problem. And I shouldn't have to ask

885
00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:04.079
the detective three times the same question, should I? I

886
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.400
shouldn't have to do that, But I did it and

887
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:12.639
I'm gonna keep doing it. And another thing, why would

888
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:17.320
you tell these kids the boyfriend who Stephanie knows, who's

889
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:20.559
been over to her house, who her daughter has been dating,

890
00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:24.880
they're in love. Why would you, detective tell him not

891
00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:30.679
to speak to Stephanie Rodriguez, don't talk to her? Kind

892
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:39.239
of foolishness? Is that just absolute, insensitive and inhumane in

893
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:45.039
my view? Before I go any further, I'm getting a

894
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:49.400
little incensed here. Let me introduce to you Stephanie Rodriguez.

895
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:51.920
She wants to read to you a statement, and I

896
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:53.280
hope you'll give her your full attention.

897
00:55:59.079 --> 00:55:59.440
Hello.

898
00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:02.760
My name is Is and I'm the mother of Brianna Aguilera.

899
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:09.400
Brianna was a driven, discipline and carrying person. She was beautiful.

900
00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:13.239
She was a loving daughter, a protective big sister, and

901
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:17.400
a carrying granddaughter. A second mom to her two younger brothers.

902
00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:21.400
Her baby was her little Yorki Eva. All of us

903
00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:24.360
were her best friend. She made everyone around her feel

904
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:29.719
loved and supported. I considered her my best friend, not

905
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:33.840
just a mother daughter relationship. We talked every day and

906
00:56:33.880 --> 00:56:37.719
she would tell me everything. I miss her so much.

907
00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.880
Her brothers miss her too. Her father and grandmother missed

908
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:47.000
her so much, and so do all her friends. Brianna

909
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:50.519
grew up as an all star cheerleader an incredible athlete.

910
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:53.559
She was an honor student and a member of the

911
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:58.800
National Honor Society all throughout school. Christmas was her favorite

912
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:04.039
time of year, decorating, baking, and hiding the elf on

913
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:07.559
the shelf for her little brother. Her brothers already missed

914
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:12.800
her so much. Brianna graduated magna cum latti from high school.

915
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:16.519
She was accepted to many colleges, but chose Texas A

916
00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:22.800
and M. She was studying political science and criminal justice.

917
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:27.079
She was not like most young girls. She loved writing

918
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:31.159
more than watching TV. Her favorite class at A and

919
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:35.360
M were her creative writing classes. She dreamt of attending

920
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:38.559
law school in New York and wanted to become a

921
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:43.199
criminal defense lawyer. She was so smart and had such

922
00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:47.079
a bright future she dreamt of alive, of where she

923
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:53.280
could make a difference. My daughter was not suicidal. I

924
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:57.360
know my daughter better than anyone. We spoke every day.

925
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:00.920
I spoke to her on the twenty fifth, the twenty sixth,

926
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:06.360
and the twenty seventh, even the morning of the twenty eighth.

927
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:11.679
She was not suicidal. To the Austin police, I can

928
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:15.199
deal with you being annoyed each time I called or

929
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:24.920
tried to talk to you. I can deal with how

930
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:29.280
arrogantly you talk down to us each time we talked.

931
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:33.760
I can deal with you telling my daughter's friends not

932
00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:36.440
to talk to me like I am some sort of criminal.

933
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:42.360
But I cannot deal with you doing a news conference

934
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:47.719
and saying false things about my child without a thorough investigation.

935
00:58:48.760 --> 00:58:52.760
I cannot deal with you jumping to conclusions and not

936
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:59.760
performing an actual investigation. I cannot deal with your failure

937
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:03.400
to do your job. Do your job.

938
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:15.679
The police. As much as I've always been a support

939
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:19.079
of the police, the police, with all due respect to them,

940
00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:22.320
do not determine cause of death. That's not their job

941
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:28.800
their job. That job is specifically reserved for the medical

942
00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:32.639
examiner's office. There is no medical examiner in the county.

943
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.039
Then it's the JP in the county. In Austin, it's

944
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.239
the job of the medical examiner. It's the determined cause

945
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:45.039
of death, not Detective Robert Marshall. The medical examiner told

946
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:48.159
us that a rape kit was done and the autopsy

947
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:51.199
will be performed. It'll take us sixty to ninety days.

948
00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:54.519
So that begs the question, why did Detective Robert Marshall

949
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:56.840
tell us that they had reached their conclusion and that

950
00:59:56.880 --> 01:00:01.239
the investigation was complete. Doesn't work that way. How is

951
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:04.199
it that Robert Marshall has determined the cause of this

952
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:08.440
young woman's death. He doesn't have that authority. His job

953
01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:12.000
is to question all the witnesses. We've already offered up

954
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:14.760
several we'll offer up several more for him to do

955
01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:18.840
his job. Hopefully a different investigator will be involved. There

956
01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:21.599
are many questions about what was done here, about what

957
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:25.559
happened on that night, and it's already going to be

958
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:29.920
incredibly difficult for the Austin Police Department to conduct an

959
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:34.320
objective investigation at this point. And that's because the way

960
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.199
that the Austin Police Department has handled this and jumped

961
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:41.920
to conclusions within hours of this tragedy. Disqualifies the Austin

962
01:00:41.960 --> 01:00:47.480
Police Department from further investigation of this matter. So I'm

963
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:50.119
doing this today. I'm calling on the Austin Police Department

964
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:55.800
to reopen the investigation with a different investigator, to reassign

965
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:59.239
Robert Marshall and put this in the hands of a

966
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:02.719
different investigtion gator. Failing that, I will be calling on

967
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:07.119
the governor to engage the Texas Rangers. We will submit

968
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:09.880
a formal packet to them with all the evidence we

969
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:12.760
have gathered so far, and we will gather. We intend

970
01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:16.400
to present thirty to forty pages of information, statements, and

971
01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:20.679
other factual data that they need to do a proper investigation.

972
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:24.960
And here are the questions I hope are answered, Austin

973
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:27.800
Police Department. Why would you close your investigation without having

974
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:30.880
all the facts? Why not wait for the autopsy results?

975
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:34.079
Why not wait for the rate kit result? And who

976
01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:36.000
would you send it to if you've already made up

977
01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:39.079
your mind? Why not question all the witnesses, the ones

978
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:41.199
that we've questioned, The young man who was down on

979
01:01:41.239 --> 01:01:43.719
the ground who heard somebody say get off of me,

980
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:46.360
or the young lady and her family across the hall

981
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:50.400
who heard running screaming end quote. Something bad had happened.

982
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:53.920
Why not question them? Why not examine all the phones

983
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:57.159
of the friend group? We asked that question in the

984
01:01:57.239 --> 01:01:59.119
zoom call. You know what we were told. We don't

985
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:03.679
have the power to look at their phones. Hogwash, hogwash.

986
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:06.559
You have that power and you need to do it.

987
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:14.159
Why hold a hasty press conference to announce that this

988
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:17.679
young lady had killed herself without even talking to her

989
01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:21.599
mother to see what her affect was leading up to

990
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:26.039
the twenty eighth You heard what she said. She knows

991
01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:31.800
her daughter, She knows her daughter more than anyone. Why

992
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:36.760
not talk to the friends immediately? Why wait? Why wait

993
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:40.199
to talk to her friend group? Why not talk to

994
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:45.079
them immediately? Why did you let the owner of the apartment,

995
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:47.400
that is, the young woman who was leasing the apartment,

996
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:51.960
vacate the apartment, literally vacate the apartment and leave town.

997
01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:56.840
Why won't the boyfriend talk to us? The boyfriend that

998
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:59.440
was a longtime boyfriend of this young lady and was

999
01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:05.559
very friend with her mother. Why can't we see the texts?

1000
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:13.199
Why can't we see the phones? Where's her wallet? Where's

1001
01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:18.719
Brionna's wallet? It's missing? They didn't tell you that, did they?

1002
01:03:18.760 --> 01:03:20.679
I see you writing. They didn't tell you that, did you.

1003
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:22.760
If you had asked the question, they would have told

1004
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:25.519
you that. They told you what they wanted you to hear.

1005
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:29.639
They didn't tell you the complete facts. Her wallet is missing.

1006
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.480
Why did her friends wait until twelve fourteen, the next

1007
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:38.679
day to report her missing if she had barred the

1008
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:41.400
phone and returned it the night of two minutes before

1009
01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:50.719
she jumped her death. Why didn't they examine the balcony.

1010
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.079
Why didn't they examine the railing. Why didn't they see

1011
01:03:54.119 --> 01:03:56.320
if there was some sort of table there or chair

1012
01:03:56.360 --> 01:03:58.440
there that somebody who's five foot two would have to

1013
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:01.119
step on to get over the railing? Why didn't they

1014
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:11.079
look for scuff barks? Why didn't they do anything? They

1015
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:13.559
didn't even bother to look to whether somebody did, in

1016
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:16.519
fact jump off the balcony, whether they would end up

1017
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:18.960
in the tree that's thirty some odd foot forward of

1018
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:25.199
the apartment. Y'all didn't ask that question either. The laws

1019
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:27.920
of physics aren't different in the city of Austin. You

1020
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:31.440
realize the same laws of physics as exist here in Houston.

1021
01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:41.280
If when the phone call came in at twelve forty

1022
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:43.039
six and the offers responded to the nine to one

1023
01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:45.840
one call. If it was so obvious that this young

1024
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:49.639
woman had fallen to her death, why was it till

1025
01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:54.480
six o'clock, five hours later that they ever went into

1026
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:58.000
the apartment complex. If it was so obvious that that's

1027
01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:02.039
how she had died, these are the questions you should

1028
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:07.239
be asking at the press conference. You didn't ask any questions.

1029
01:05:08.840 --> 01:05:12.079
You didn't ask any questions. You just lapped it up

1030
01:05:13.000 --> 01:05:16.320
like it was cool water, and you were very thirsty,

1031
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:23.480
very disappointing to me. So we have given you a

1032
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:27.320
lot of information. We're gonna submit a packet. I want

1033
01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:30.239
to call on the governor too. I don't expect, based

1034
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:32.199
on the conduct I saw from the police chief of

1035
01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:37.280
austin her defensive manner that she approached the podium yesterday,

1036
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:42.039
I don't expect any relief from her. I don't expect

1037
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:46.000
she's gonna say kings X Oh, you're right. This was sloppy,

1038
01:05:46.239 --> 01:05:49.599
it was not thorough. It it was kind of embarrassing.

1039
01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:52.480
We're gonna get a different detective to start over. I

1040
01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:56.039
don't expect that to happen. I expect what's gonna happen

1041
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:57.719
is I'm gonna send a formal letter to the governor

1042
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:00.360
asking for the Texas Rangers to be engaged. And I'm

1043
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:04.320
going to submit a detailed packet to the Governor's office

1044
01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:06.440
and ultimately to the Texas Rangers to actually do an

1045
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:09.079
investigation to figure out what actually happened, because we still

1046
01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:12.320
don't know. Notice I've haven't suggested to you what happened

1047
01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:15.280
because I don't know. I'm starting to get a sneak

1048
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:19.599
in suspicion. So I've given you a lot of information.

1049
01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:22.199
So what is your headline? Your headline is this, there

1050
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:24.840
are serious and disturbing questions raised with regard to the

1051
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.840
Austin Police Department's handling of the investigation surrounding the death

1052
01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:33.519
of Brianna Aguierro. The Texas Rangers have now been called

1053
01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:36.360
to intervene. Thank you very much.

1054
01:06:36.719 --> 01:06:37.000
Let's go.

1055
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:41.360
How long are you willing to give apdes and reassign

1056
01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:42.440
that investigator over there?

1057
01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:46.880
That takes two minutes, That's what I expect. Let's go.

1058
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:51.639
So let's ipack what we just found out from Tony

1059
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:57.679
Busby and in the Austin Police Departments press conference, they

1060
01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:01.559
did mention an altercation, some sort of fight with another female.

1061
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:06.599
They said it wasn't physical. That The only physical altercation

1062
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:09.039
they knew of was her friends were trying to get

1063
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:11.840
her out of that tailgate and she swung on one

1064
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:13.599
of her friends, may have hit one of her friends,

1065
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:16.800
something like that. Tony Busby also brought that up, and

1066
01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:21.559
he said it was not investigated the day of her death.

1067
01:07:22.199 --> 01:07:26.159
The other female was actually in the apartment with her,

1068
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:30.280
the same one she got in the argument with, and

1069
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:34.199
some reports have come out that allege what that fight

1070
01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:37.440
was about. I'll tell you about that a little bit later,

1071
01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:40.039
but he brought that up, and that is concerning. Now.

1072
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:43.000
That's not saying that this girl. Obviously, no one knows

1073
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:44.920
that that girl had anything to do with it or not,

1074
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:47.559
and I'm not saying she did, but they definitely got

1075
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:50.480
in some sort of altercation, and that girl was definitely

1076
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:53.199
in the same apartment with her when all this went down.

1077
01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:57.159
Even more intriguing than that is Tony Busby also brought

1078
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:00.760
up that a male posted on TikTok who lived in

1079
01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:04.599
that high rise that he could hear fighting and screaming

1080
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:08.320
coming from above him, which he lived. I don't know

1081
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:10.960
how many floors below where this went down, but it

1082
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:13.960
couldn't have been too far down and the police never

1083
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:18.000
even interviewed this guy, never talked to him, even though

1084
01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:22.520
he had some pretty damning claims that he posted on TikTok.

1085
01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:26.800
Now Tony Buzzby talked to him, but the police didn't. Now,

1086
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:30.479
I happen to have that TikTok and what he said

1087
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:33.760
on that TikTok, And here's what that sounded like.

1088
01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:36.800
From what I heard, it sounded like somebody was being

1089
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:40.680
taken advantage of and there there was a party going

1090
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:45.279
on around her, and like nobody cared. I walk around

1091
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:47.600
the corner, I get on real grande.

1092
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:56.600
I hear a girl saying, jet out off me, get up,

1093
01:08:56.720 --> 01:08:59.000
and then it was like it was like a muffled

1094
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:01.279
like scream at the top of her lungs. It was

1095
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:04.279
like almost as if like you know that sound when

1096
01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:08.079
like somebody put a pillow or something over your mouth.

1097
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:12.960
That's what I heard. Why would that not be investigated, folks?

1098
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:15.840
Why would police not even talk to this guy? You

1099
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:20.960
gotta ask yourself that question also mentioned by Tonny Busby.

1100
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:26.159
The apartment across from where Brianna allegedly jumped to her death,

1101
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:32.119
those people said they heard fighting. That girl was not interviewed,

1102
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:36.520
nor were the other people in her apartment. And apparently

1103
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:39.479
it was like an entire family living in that apartment,

1104
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:42.680
and none of those people were interviewed either. We found

1105
01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:45.920
out about an anonymous message that was sent to police

1106
01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:50.840
alleging Brianna was locked out on that balcony. I don't

1107
01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:55.319
really know, obviously, to what extent that means. Did they

1108
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:59.079
get pissed at Brianna because she was drunk and locked

1109
01:09:59.079 --> 01:10:01.039
her out on the balcony. Was it a big fight

1110
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:03.359
and they locked her out on the back And I

1111
01:10:03.399 --> 01:10:05.680
don't know, but he mentioned it, and I would imagine

1112
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:08.720
we're going to find out more at some point about that.

1113
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:13.399
Another thing Tony mentioned and brought up was the phone

1114
01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:19.560
that she used her friend's phone to call her boyfriend

1115
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:23.760
in the timing of that. And he really pressed that

1116
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:30.199
point because he said police were not very forthcoming because

1117
01:10:30.199 --> 01:10:33.560
it doesn't fit their narrative. Is essentially what Tonny Busby

1118
01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:39.359
is saying. What their timeline said is that all of

1119
01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:43.479
her friends went to sleep and that they woke up.

1120
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:48.720
She wasn't there, she was gone. Tony Busby's point is okay,

1121
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:52.600
but she used one of those friends' cell phone. She

1122
01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:58.359
talked to her boyfriend, and then two minutes later, they

1123
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:03.039
know is when she jumped from that building, according to

1124
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:07.079
the police timeline, and his question was where it was

1125
01:11:07.119 --> 01:11:11.199
the phone? Well, when police answered him, eventually, he said

1126
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:15.000
it took three times to get an answer. The detective said, well,

1127
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:16.840
she gave it back to the girl she barred it

1128
01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:20.600
from after she was done talking to her boyfriend. And

1129
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.039
that's when Tony Buzzby was like, wait, hold the fucking phone,

1130
01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:29.800
because you told me already that they were all asleep. Well,

1131
01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:32.479
as she jumped off the building two minutes after she

1132
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:36.000
gave the phone back, that person for sure wasn't asleep.

1133
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:42.600
So that's totally contradictory to what you just said. And

1134
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:45.159
you heard it. I'm not going to repeat everything he said.

1135
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:48.760
You heard it, but it does raise probably the biggest

1136
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:52.000
question in this case so far. Tony Busby said that

1137
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:57.119
the detective did not even speak to her mother to

1138
01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:00.359
get her state of mind, and I mean bring Ona's

1139
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:03.880
state of mind in all this, didn't even talk to her. Now,

1140
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:09.359
supposedly there was an attempt to call her mother, and

1141
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:14.239
when the detective talked to the mother, she was told

1142
01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:16.560
he can speak to her attorney, But that wasn't the

1143
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:20.600
day that all this went down. That was several days after.

1144
01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:26.000
Why was she not interviewed by the detective that same day?

1145
01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:29.560
Only he can answer that, But it is questionable because

1146
01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:31.000
you want to get a state of mind. Was your

1147
01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:33.680
daughter suicidal? That would be a question you want to

1148
01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:37.199
ask right off the bat. Now, some questions have also

1149
01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:40.840
been brought up, and Tony Busby even raised this question

1150
01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:44.199
that the apartment was completely vacated, like all these people

1151
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:49.439
split man. Apparently the person that owned the apartment, or

1152
01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:53.960
not owned it, but rented the apartment, completely packed her

1153
01:12:54.000 --> 01:12:57.279
shit and left and never came back. Now that I

1154
01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:00.279
can kind of get. I mean, if someone if you

1155
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:03.840
believe that one of your friends jumped off the balcony

1156
01:13:03.840 --> 01:13:05.880
of your apartment, you probably just want to get the

1157
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:08.960
hell out of there and never come back. That's pretty traumatic.

1158
01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:12.760
So I kind of get that that is not as

1159
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:16.880
big a smoking gun, if you will, as other things

1160
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:20.039
in this case that raised questions. Another thing that he

1161
01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:22.520
brought up her wallet was missing, and that's why it

1162
01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:27.600
took so long. Look, police didn't even identify Brianna until

1163
01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:30.640
her friends called nine to one one and reported her

1164
01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:33.800
missing and they started doing some digging and figured out

1165
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:35.960
that that was the same girl that was at the

1166
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:38.840
bottom of that building. Her wallet was missing. She had

1167
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:42.399
no idea, And Tony Busby also brought up the questions

1168
01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:45.840
of why the friends waited till the next day to

1169
01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:49.479
report this. Certainly that's questionable. And another thing that he

1170
01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:54.079
brought up that we didn't know prior to Tony Busby's

1171
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:58.560
press conference was there was a tree that was located

1172
01:13:58.720 --> 01:14:03.880
below where she jumped. And look, there's a lot of

1173
01:14:03.960 --> 01:14:09.079
math out there that these geniuses can do with trigonometry

1174
01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:12.640
and everything like that, where they can actually figure out,

1175
01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:16.800
if you jumped from this building, how far out would

1176
01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:20.640
you go or how far in would you go before

1177
01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:25.720
you hit the ground. And what Tonny Busby is alluding

1178
01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:28.239
to here is there was a tree below where she

1179
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:33.159
jumped that she could not have possibly jumped far enough

1180
01:14:33.199 --> 01:14:36.600
out to avoid hitting that tree. But yet there were

1181
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:40.760
no broken branches or anything like that as it relates

1182
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:44.560
to this tree, and that is a question and they'll

1183
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:49.800
do hopefully some more investigation on that and see where

1184
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.119
her body was in relation to where science would say

1185
01:14:53.479 --> 01:14:56.359
her body was. Many brought up the big one, which

1186
01:14:56.520 --> 01:15:01.119
was activating the Texas Rangers. Texas rang no joke. Most

1187
01:15:01.159 --> 01:15:04.359
of y'all listening are familiar with them. They are experts

1188
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:09.880
at investigation, and so activating them to investigate this, which

1189
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:12.800
the governor would have to do, I would definitely do

1190
01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:16.319
that because this is a political emergency right now. Like

1191
01:15:17.439 --> 01:15:20.399
I'll talk about that in a minute, but you better

1192
01:15:20.439 --> 01:15:24.520
get your shit together because the entire country is looking

1193
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:28.319
at this right now. State of Texas. Another thing that

1194
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:32.359
Tony Buzby brought up, no suicide note like the police

1195
01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:34.880
had said. As a matter of fact, he said, she

1196
01:15:35.119 --> 01:15:38.600
was in a creative writing class and that was a

1197
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.560
term paper in her creative writing class. If that is

1198
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:46.239
the truth, man, that makes that detective look like a

1199
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:50.880
total bumbling idiot. If that is a truth, because you

1200
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.399
went out and told the whole world that she had

1201
01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:58.319
a suicide note and it was a daggum term paper, unbelievable.

1202
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:01.760
He also brought up the suit with sidle comments that

1203
01:16:01.840 --> 01:16:04.319
police brought up in their press conference, and he said

1204
01:16:04.359 --> 01:16:09.079
that was all hyperbole. Basically, she was joking. It's something

1205
01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:13.920
you say out of frustration when you're aggravated about something.

1206
01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:17.359
You know people will go around and they'll make a comment.

1207
01:16:17.439 --> 01:16:21.239
He even used his own example. But for example, if

1208
01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:25.000
just you have a whole week of everything going wrong

1209
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:27.239
in your life and you say, man, I might as

1210
01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:30.199
well just jump off a bridge, you don't mean it.

1211
01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:35.119
You're saying it in hyperbole, and that's what he's saying.

1212
01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:38.520
She said to one of her friends. It was not

1213
01:16:38.640 --> 01:16:42.199
a serious comment. It was in response to just some

1214
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:45.920
things that were stressing her at the time. And another

1215
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:50.840
thing that he really hyper focused on in something obviously

1216
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:54.640
that he has a major problem with, is the cause

1217
01:16:54.680 --> 01:16:59.039
of death determination made by the detective. You heard him.

1218
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:04.520
It's not the detective's job to determine cause of death. Look,

1219
01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:07.439
here's the facts. I have no doubt there was a

1220
01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:14.199
rush to judgment here. This detective basically made that determination

1221
01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:17.560
of suicide within minutes, and in my view, my view only,

1222
01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:23.920
the investigation was sloppy, it was lazy, was rushed, and

1223
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:29.359
they didn't foresee the shit show that was coming. Now,

1224
01:17:29.399 --> 01:17:32.560
does this mean she did not commit suicide? I don't know.

1225
01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:40.600
I don't know. I would say, in my opinion, that

1226
01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:44.960
would be surprising if she did. I can tell you

1227
01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:48.119
there's a lot of questions that need some answers and

1228
01:17:48.199 --> 01:17:52.399
some other things that I discovered. Incidentally, Brianna was afraid

1229
01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:58.279
of heights. Kind of a strange choice to kill yourself

1230
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:02.840
by jumping seventeen stores when you're afraid of heights. That,

1231
01:18:02.920 --> 01:18:05.199
according to her mother, mother said she wouldn't even rite

1232
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:10.159
roller coasters that were I don't know of any sort

1233
01:18:10.359 --> 01:18:13.439
because of the fact that you know, typically they go

1234
01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:15.359
high up in the air. She was scared to death

1235
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:19.039
of that, according to her mother. Also, another thing that

1236
01:18:19.079 --> 01:18:21.880
bothers me about this case is she did this with

1237
01:18:22.039 --> 01:18:26.279
other people around. She was not alone, and that's rare.

1238
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:30.399
It happens, but it's rare. And then another thing that

1239
01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:35.000
bothered me is people are questioning her mental health. Certain

1240
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:40.319
people out there. Her mother get this is a nurse practitioner,

1241
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.680
practically a doctor. There's slight things that doctors can do

1242
01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:49.520
that nurse practitioners cannot, but they're very highly educated, they

1243
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:52.800
make very good money. And not only is she a

1244
01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:57.319
nurse practitioner, she's a nurse practitioner at a psychiatric clinic.

1245
01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:02.880
If anybody but he can determine whether her daughter has

1246
01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:07.800
mental stability issues or mental health issues, it's her mother

1247
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:12.079
who knows her better than anybody. And she is saying,

1248
01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:15.760
and it's been continuing to say since it's happened, there

1249
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:20.119
is no way her daughter did that. Her daughter was happy,

1250
01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:24.680
she was not depressed, and this lady is trained to

1251
01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:29.199
spot mental illness. Yet as close as they were, she

1252
01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:35.199
saw no signs of this with Brianna, So that's questionable

1253
01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:38.239
that they would make that determination. Doesn't mean it didn't

1254
01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:43.159
happen if she was totally shitface drunk, your decision making

1255
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:47.640
way off when you're drunk. I'm sure most of the

1256
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.159
people listening to this have have had one or ten

1257
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:54.199
too many, just like I have in my life, and

1258
01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:56.039
there are a lot of things I've done when I've

1259
01:19:56.039 --> 01:20:00.720
had ten too many that I wouldn't do sober not

1260
01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:05.159
saying that's what happened, but alcohol does affect things. The

1261
01:20:05.239 --> 01:20:08.119
problem is we don't even know the results of how

1262
01:20:08.239 --> 01:20:11.319
drunk she was yet, or if she was even drunk.

1263
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:17.399
And think about this. Austin police respond to basically a

1264
01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:21.279
Good Samaritans report of an unconscious woman outside of those

1265
01:20:21.359 --> 01:20:25.279
high rise apartments. The woman gets pronounced dead at twelve

1266
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:30.039
fifty seven am, and it's not till four pm that

1267
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:36.720
afternoon that Stephanie Rodriguez is told that her daughter is dead.

1268
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:43.199
Officers told her two different things. According to Stephanie Rodriguez,

1269
01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:49.880
they first told her Brianna jumped and then followed that

1270
01:20:50.039 --> 01:20:54.840
up with her friends. Don't know how Brianna ended up

1271
01:20:55.000 --> 01:21:02.359
seventeen stories below on the ground of those apartments conflicting statements.

1272
01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:08.720
One thing that I was told in the past from

1273
01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:16.920
a pretty good detective was the truth never changes. So

1274
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:22.640
hopefully we'll be getting to what the truth is in

1275
01:21:22.680 --> 01:21:25.520
this case. And I told you about that fight with

1276
01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:30.279
Brianna and another individual, one of her friends, and what's

1277
01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:35.680
allegedly coming out as to how it started. Allegedly was

1278
01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:41.640
this friend of Brianna's was sweet on Brianna's boyfriend, and

1279
01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:47.600
Brianna was at this tailgate. Another guy had his arm

1280
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:53.560
around Brianna, not necessarily in a romantic way, but if

1281
01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:58.239
you're the boyfriend, it wouldn't look great. And supposedly this

1282
01:21:58.359 --> 01:22:01.239
friend took a picture of that texted it to the

1283
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:05.199
boyfriend in an effort to kind of destroy their relationship,

1284
01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:08.239
and that's what kicked off this giant shit show. I

1285
01:22:08.279 --> 01:22:10.640
don't know if that's true or not, but that is

1286
01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:14.680
coming out in some reports of some people very close

1287
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:19.600
to Brianna who had access to her phone after all

1288
01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:23.000
of this went down, there were some questions about how

1289
01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:26.239
did that phone go missing. According to the police, she

1290
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:29.359
was drunk and lost her phone. She stumbled off into

1291
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:32.960
those woods near that tailgate, and that's where her phone

1292
01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:36.560
was found. We're going to find out much more about this,

1293
01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:41.199
but this is what we got right now. So there

1294
01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:47.600
you have it. Just an unbelievable amount of questions in

1295
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:50.079
this case out of Texas. I would love to hear

1296
01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:52.920
your thoughts on it. What do you think with the

1297
01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:55.720
information that you know now, do you think this needs

1298
01:22:55.720 --> 01:22:59.439
to be investigated further? I do well police come up

1299
01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:02.960
with the same result maybe, but I'll be honest, it

1300
01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:10.079
would surprise me because there's just nothing here that I've

1301
01:23:10.119 --> 01:23:13.960
seen so far that would point to this girl deciding

1302
01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:17.720
to jump seventeen stories from a building when you're preparing

1303
01:23:17.800 --> 01:23:21.760
for your whole life outside of that. So we'll see.

1304
01:23:22.560 --> 01:23:25.800

typically ship those out in January. Your first quarter gift

1310
01:23:55.039 --> 01:23:57.039
is going to go out a little bit early. I'm

1311
01:23:57.079 --> 01:24:00.000
actually gonna ship it out next week, and there's an error,

1312
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:02.319
might be even by the end of this week. And

1313
01:24:02.359 --> 01:24:06.399
there's a reason for that. It relates to holiday month.

1314
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:09.199
And you are gonna love it, one of the I mean,

1315
