Reporter blow off the dust. Fan the ashes. And even an icecold case can heat up again. When i read the file, my response was, oh, my gosh. Hows this guy Walking Around . How is he not in custody . Reporter some worried answering that question could cost this d. A. His life. They tell me that he is making plans to murder you and your family. This is a guy who is on a mission. Reporter he killed once. Would he kill again . When will he stop being dangerous to you . When hes dead.

Maniac did not want to move over. The associate shoved him over and 10 seconds later, a gun was shot and the bullet came into the car, pierced the associate to the neck and killed him instantly. Maniac said, if he had not shoved me aside i would be dead. I am done. That was his turning point. Call it a turning point, called the teachable moment. Use whatever terminology that you want. That is where we need to be present. When i say we, i mean, we. At that turning point, at that moment of truth, that teachable moment, it is imperative that resources be brought to bear.
