deprerks killing d depreciatide depression, killing animals. everyone is sayings warning signs were there. and cnn reported that since 2010, local law enforcement were called to his house 39 times. so you would hope that community knowledge, the 39 police calls, not to mention his ownership of an ar-15 notwithstanding the absence of a national gun registry would nevertheless have enabled a database search that could have helped the fbi find this guy. we live in an age of apple, google, facebook, amazon. maybe it is time for the fbi to recruit in silicon valley so that they can better manage data to keep us safe. joining me now is tom fuentes, he spent 30 years in the fbi. what is the issue of 9 lashissu data integration? we are acknowledging that this is a catastrophic failure on the part of the fbi with regard to the january report
it s a name. now, we are constrained by attorney general guidelines and laws. we just can t start can t get warrants and start drilling down and pulling up all sorts of websites and social media. in other words, how many people in the united states are named nikolas cruz? i don t know. plenty. we had no real identifying data. we couldn t get a warrant. i say we, the fbi. the fbi really couldn t do much other than what they did, which is do the database search, which isn t just a database. it s across platforms, it took many agencies, a lot of in-depth. but they didn t stop there either. and that s why i think the bureau is getting kind of a bad rap. i saw the crawl against the cnn earlier today saying, you know, the fbi ignored the warning signs. no, i don t think so at all. they did the database search. the very next day an agent was
instead of a c it was a k and the comment said i m going to be a professional school shooter. what that mississippi vlogger did, he called the fbi. the fbi came out and spoke with him. then it s a little muddy what exactly the fbi did from that point on. the fbi telling the press in a news conference that they did a database search. it s very unclear what happened. but the mississippi vlogger tells us he never heard from the fbi after that initial september 2017 meeting. he heard from them after the shooting. don? kyung lah in ft. lauderdale, thank you, kyung. i want to get to another reporter now, another one of cnn s finest, gary tuchman. you spoke to the grief. stricken mother whose daughter was killed yesterday. i played some of the heartbreaking sound of what she said in the open just a little bit earlier. we all see and feel the raw
did, which is do the database search which isn t just a database. it s a cross platform, hook with many agencies and in-depth. but they didn t stop there either. and that s why i think the bureau is getting kind of a bad rap. i saw the crawl against the cnn earlier today saying, you know the fbi ignored the warning signs. no i don t think so. they did the database search. the very next day an agent was sent out there. drop everything else he was doing. it was a priority go out and interview the guy who made the call. and what they found out apparently is this is a guy who just happened to see it took a screen shot of it and called in right thing to do. didn t know who he was and this was in mississippi. i have seen the bureau criticized for not calling the broward county sheriff s office. well how would you know? how would we know? we didn t call the pima or the
the murders. but said her ex-boyfriend, chris snider, was the real killer. as with christine, the composite drawing of snider was remarkably accurate. i was not in that house. okay. at all. were you in the driveway? i ll put anything on it, i was not in that house. were you in the driveway? just i wasn t in the in the driveway. i had the only house the closest i was to the house was when i when i drove up christine said she waited outside while snider killed her friends. he did it. he did it? did what? what did he say, christine? he shot them. that he shot them? a database search revealed the address for chris snider s parents, and they told police chris was living in south carolina.
