police chief say, quote, the suspect was on a mission to kill, that he was out hunting. i m just curious to know how investigators are so confident that they prevented another killing? good morning, amara and boris. yeah, i mean, this is the stuff that tv movies are made of, right? how chilling would this be to live in a neighborhood where you found out that numerous people are being stalked basically and killed for some unknown reason, and the reporting that was just mentioned, this was a case that was brought together by, literally, old-school police tactic, right. in today s day where we have all sorts of electronic means and dna which may also play a part in this case at some point, it s the piecing together of critical pieces of information, getting feedback from the community, which in many, many ways in all parts of the country, that s how

others, he had an all-star team, and i think they were trying to wear down the prosecutors. they had one agreement that they were going to go with and then it would get torn up and start over. and the whole process just kept going over and over and over again. to some degree, i think they wore the prosecutors down. as we both know, they don t drive the process. the other side does and you have the former police chief say i ve never had political pressure like this, you have acosta saying we ve never seen pressure like this, that they were investigating us. i ve never heard that kind of narrative. usually prosecutors are like, they can bring all the money and power they want, this is going to get done. in fact that s what you re hearing from the southern district right now in bringing this case. what do you make of this? you know, political pressure is a strange thing. back then, you know, this was well before the me too movement. there was no political incentive
