Good afternoon I'm deputy mayor and Williams Isom the deputy mayor for health and human services and welcome to this week's asylum seeker briefing Joining me today is commissioner Zach Eskall the commissioner of New York City emergency Management and dr. Ted long the senior vice president at New York City health and hospitals New York City Continues to respond to this humanitarian crisis work with partners and call for additional resources Because we cannot continue handling this without more support as a number of asylum seekers in our care surpasses 56,200 today. We are announcing a new humanitarian relief center to serve adults seeking asylum in Partnership with New York State the city will soon construct and open a humanitarian relief center that will serve up to a thousand adults Adult men seeking shelter in the parking lot at Creedmore psychiatric center in Queens We are very grateful to the state for its support in providing the space We also are grateful for their commitment to reimburse the city for all costs of this site including construction maintenance and staffing This is especially true as the city has already spent more than $1.5 billion on this crisis and expense expects to spend a total of four point five three Total of four point three five billion at the end of next June Construction will begin in the coming weeks and we hope to open the site shortly after that This will allow for some relief and some space for children with families. I Also want to provide an update on the 60-day policy for adults seeking for asylum seekers that we announced last week This week we began notices to adults in humanitarian relief centers and will continue to issue these notices on a rolling basis Over the coming months our trained caseworkers will work closely with people to help them move forward on their journey and to find a Place to settle dr. Long will be able to provide more information about that when we take some questions as We have repeatedly said of the more than 93,000 people who have come through our system We know that roughly 37,000 people have moved on to their next step in the journey Whether that is here or across the country So we want to make sure that we are meeting those people where they are and helping people to settle in other places outside of the shelter system Before I turn it over to Zach to delve into the details of our new humanitarian relief center. Let me share some of the latest data As of July 23rd, we have over a hundred and seven thousand three hundred people who are in our care This includes the over fifty six thousand two hundred asylum seeker This is putting an enormous strain on the system Since last spring we have more than ninety three thousand two hundred people come through our system seeking asylum We have now opened over a hundred and ninety two sites Including thirteen humanitarian relief sites and that doesn't include the current facility at creed more that we just announced today Nor does it include the facility at whole street that will open next month as a humanitarian relief center and Last week from July 1st from July 17th to July 23rd We had twenty nine hundred asylum seekers enter our system as you can see these numbers are high They continue to be high week after week We're getting thousands of people who are coming to New York City and Wanting shelter and seeking asylum Let me now turn it over to commissioners act to discuss a few of the details of the new relief space at creed more Thank You Deputy Mayor Williams Isom your efforts and dedicated leadership throughout this humanitarian crisis have been nothing short of Exemplary it's through your leadership in the administration at large that we've been able to make this announcement today and get to where we are This work has been among some of the most challenging. I have certainly done in my life Every day is a full-on sprint as we look to place hundreds of people and find places for them every single day And I will just say I wish every New Yorker could be exposed to What it is like working for Deputy Mayor Williams Isom behind the scenes She has or sorry William Wallace has nothing on her when she is rallying the troops to the cause through her Spirit and and faith and so it's it's really been incredible working with you. So thank you I also share your deep concerns as the number of asylum seekers in New York City rises They all seek refuge and a new start and it has been and continues to be our duty to assist However, as we continue to make clear this cannot just be a city issue It's a national issue and we're using all available resources and we continue to call on the national governor government for support To accommodate and support this growing number of individuals. We're opening our latest humanitarian Emergency response and relief center. Thanks to the cooperation from New York State This center will provide not just a place to stay but also critical services to support these individuals on their journey At this center We're focusing on providing support to single adult men who are seeking asylum who have recently arrived in New York City It's important to note that while this is a large-scale effort It's also a deeply personal one each person We're helping is an individual with their own story and their own struggles as we begin to prepare the site We hope to have it operational as soon as early August This site was selected after thoughtful consideration and close coordination with New York State officials We evaluated multiple factors to make this decision Including minimizing disruption of existing services and programming and being in the best condition to quickly provide the services needed Upon completion this center will have the capacity to serve about 1,000 asylum seekers Replicating the range of services. We've been providing at our existing humanitarian relief centers This includes immediate access to medical aid meals and help with reconnections This facility will be climate controlled for comfort. The construction phase is projected to last a couple of weeks Let me close by saying this New York City is doing everything in its power to provide supportive Humanitarian services to these individuals during this challenging time But we really cannot do this alone. This is a national issue that demands federal support We are ready and hopeful for collaboration to ensure everyone gets the necessary support Now I'll turn it back over to our deputy mayor Williams Isom. Thank you. Thank you so much commissioner And you do make the point I do try to lead with love and with faith and with determination and make tough decisions and when this does get hard I get my hope by spending time with the migrants this morning I went to a site and I was able to see migrant children I shouldn't say migrant children children running around with the library very excited picking out books I saw volunteers of high school students here in New York City Who are volunteering at the site to make sure that people have the clothes that they need the support that they need I saw people asking for legal services and I know and I think that that's what gives me hope What we're doing here in New York City is what we've always done We've opening up our arms and we're trying to do the best that we can But I know that as we continue to get support from our federal delegation Which I am so grateful for as we continue to work with our state partners We can get through this but we can't get through it on our own And I think that if we all rally together if we all see what New York City is doing and replicate that We can get through this crisis with that. I will open it up for questions So with the contract from the the states is this one that the state recently procured and it's the state Going to be taking care of everything when it comes to these shelters including only building in the services staff and so forth And then one more question on there is a plan I've been hearing from your staff that to move migrants upstate just wondering how many migrants have been moved upstate What is that program look like how many spaces are available? Is that happening every week every day? Sure, so with over 93,000 people coming to us thus far We've always had a large plan about what are we going to do if what you know And how are we going to address each part of this so it is the state will be reimbursing us for this So we will do it as we've done every other Humanitarian Relief Center and they will reimburse us for the construction and for all the costs that are associated with that The upstate plan is the plan that we announced a couple of months ago Maybe now and remember when we had the Some executives here from upstate who have opened up their arms And so we're continuing to work with those that are the willing the best of the best of us to move people upstate I think the number is maybe over 1500 folks that are upstate right now But I'll make sure that we get that number for you and that in the original plan that we did in March called the asylum sequel blueprint The state said that they were going to work with us to relocate about 1200 families and so that work is continuing as we connect that to the legal clinic clinic that we opened a couple of Months ago to make sure that people are on their pathway to filling out their forms and so that they can get work authorization And then resettle Children and families upstate You're welcome Dr. Long yeah, so in terms of this of the specific numbers we've delivered over a hundred notices at this point And just to take a step back I want to emphasize about the 60-day notices that our focus and opportunity here is the case management part of all of this or in Other words how we can help you with where you are now as the deputy mayor said we've now taken care of more than 93,000 asylum seekers in New York City Among those 93,000 with our help more than around 40 percent have been able to take the next step forward in their journey and Exit our city system so we know what we what we know what to do We know how to be effective and we're applying those principles through case management in every discussion We're having now, but one of the things we're realizing is that when we're starting to have these discussions around the notices People are not surprised. In fact, they're coming to us with questions things. They need help with which is what we welcome So for example, we're hearing from asylum seekers that we've given notices to that they need help getting IDs They need help navigating how to travel. They need help even with specific types of legal services When we hear all of that feedback from them We can immediately put plans in place to meet them where they are and give them the specific help that they need so that they can Take the next step forward in their journey So as we go forward with our case management the opportunity is for us to learn at this stage of the asylum seeker crisis What exactly people's needs are which we're doing right now and we'll meet those needs to be as effective as we can be At some of the shelters with respect to So the way that I would answer that is it is something that we're very concerned about because the system is under an enormous amount of strain When you think about really doubling the amount of people who are in our care from when we first got here, right? That's about space. It's about personnel and people and it's about resources And so I think that we are so proud that we have not had anybody sleeping on the street But I think that you're right that there are places where we're like we got to make sure that we get the showers working We got to make sure that we have the food the way it needs to be We've got to make sure that people are getting, you know, the basic that that we want to make sure I think that's why we need help. I think that's why we keep on saying, you know, we're out of space We need support. We need more places 192 sites Liz, you know, there's gonna be a places where it's like, okay What's going on that this evening, you know commissioners that can speak to that because they're really overseeing some of those emergency respite centers But I think this is why we really feel like it's a national issue that needs some national support So that we could really have people in the places that they need to be nobody wants to be in a hotel Yeah, so we always have new policy ideas I say to people we've been planning from day one and we continue to plan We've had some great meetings with our federal delegation They've come and they visited and they've seen the amazing work that's going on at the Roosevelt I say amazing, but it's bittersweet, right when you walk in there And you see the hundreds of people who are waiting on chairs and the hundreds of people that come every day I think some are seeing something they didn't realize they thought that think since things were slowing down at the border That they've slowed down in New York City and that is just not the experience So I think the more people see it and feel it, you know, we see other people in this nation who are not treating migrants Well, I want people to see how well New York City is treating migrants But that we need help because we cannot do this on our own and that we really think a decompression strategy Allowing people to work would really help us and give some relief to these folks who have come here for the American dream Just your question, you know, just just piggybacking off what the deputy mayor said You know emergency management 101 is is the local jurisdiction is supposed to be able to turn to the state and the federal government for support When they have run out run run the course, right when they've run out of resources the ability to handle the emergency We've long passed that and so these issues that we're facing This is really because like we are at capacity. We've been saying this now for weeks if not months if not longer The last time the u.s. Had a migration crisis of this magnitude or one of them was the mariole Boatlift for Cuban refugees. That was a federally declared disaster The numbers that we're seeing in New York City are on par with the numbers of Cuban exiles and refugees that were coming into Florida and President Carter acted You know that lasted months, but the city has taken on something of that magnitude largely on its own A lot of counties and localities have moved to stop that from happening and there's Litigation in the works had any additional counties or localities opposite and said I would say yes, and yes, and I think as we continue to plan as I mentioned the Resettlement program that the state has agreed to there are definitely counties that have said we want more information We want to be able to work with you and so we're working with them in order to get that done So I'm I can give you that information after this, but I think that's what I just want to focus on There's many people who say no, but there's many more people who are saying yes And who see that this is an issue and want to stand up You want to start sure and then I'll clean it up You know we're gonna continue to to bail water and that's what we're doing and we're gonna continue to work every day Just the way we have been doing But it is a full-on sprint every single day looking for places to place people It's it's it's funny that he says a sprint because it's more like feels like a marathon that we've been trying to sprint Which is not anybody who's run a marathon know that we can't do that And so I think that we see in this country what it looks like when people are not treating migrants well We are treating migrants as best as we can and so we're gonna continue to do that And we're asking for the federal government to support us in this work that we're doing because we think that with a decompression Strategy and if people can work we will be able to manage this as a nation and I think people will be proud of that Would it be okay if I had something before sorry multitasking So just two points. I want to make first on the H&H specific Question around the RFP just to be crystal clear the RFP is for us continuing the same structure We have but putting it out to bid to see who the best staff members would be at my site They remain my site say H&H has complete control over management of all the sites complete responsibility I have somebody on site 24 7 none of that changes It's a standard contracting process to put out an RFP to continue staffing though on the point I just also want to make a point around, you know the strain that we're under so Every day is has the deputy mayor and the commissioner saying it gets harder and harder for us We're working 24 7 around the clock the arrival center We have families with children that are coming to us at midnight every night So we've for example opened up the ballrooms in our hotels trying to be creative in New York City trying to give people the dignified welcome That they deserve hoping we would never need to use these ballrooms tonight. We'll use every ballroom I have it's not because we want to it's because we have to given the strain that we're under Given the number of people coming in so even the most effective approaches that we have We need more help than we've been getting So the the people initially that we're giving the notices to or some are the people that have been in our system for the longest So we're doing delivering the notices on a rolling basis starting with the people that have been in our system for the longest So we'll get I think the point is we want to make space for families with children And so now we're looking at all of the tools that we can use in order to do it And we'll give you more information as things continue We'll see whether or not this works or it doesn't work But we're trying to do the best that we can so we can make room for families with children

For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Saturday, November 5th. It was foggy in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of homicide. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Ed Backstrand, TV Detectives. My name's Friday. It was 3.35 p.m. when I got to room 42, homicide. This is Friday in homicide. I'd like to place a call to Mr. Frank Renard and Murphy, Idaho, number 761. Frank Renard, Murphy, Idaho, 761. Yeah, that's right.

Los Angeles calling. I'm Frank Renard. Go ahead, please. All right, surgeon. Go ahead. Hello. Hello. Hello, Frank Renard. Yeah, who's this? This is Sergeant Friday, Los Angeles Police Department. I've got an urgent message for you. For me? Oh, what's the matter?  Something's happened to your mother. What do you mean? What's happened? I better let your wife tell you.  But what's this all about? I can't leave my job now. You better come. Your mother's been murdered. Talk to the skipper, Joe. He's on his way in. That's good. Did you call my husband? Did you? He's flying down from Idaho tonight. He'll be here in the morning. You tell him about me? The trouble I'm in? I told him his mother was murdered. That's all I told him, Mrs. Renard. What am I going to say to Frank? He always sided in with his mother. He'll never believe me. What can I tell him? Jory can give you more trouble than your husband can. What you going to tell him?  How many times do I have to say it?   It's a small room, Mrs. Renard. We can hear you. Sit down, please. I won't sit down. You're not pinning this on me because I didn't do it. Anybody could have killed the old hag, but I didn't. Will you sit down, please? I don't have to take this. I'm no tramp. Keeping me in here asking me questions, I told you all I know. Look, you're in a bad spot. I hope you realize that. I didn't kill her. Mrs. Renard, how long have you and your mother-in-law been living together in the house on Chavez Road? Since Frank took the job up in Idaho. About six months. He said it'd be better for me while he was away living with her. Your neighbors told us you didn't get along very well with your mother-in-law. That's right. I didn't. She hated me. I hated her. You used to fight with her. Is that right? You hit her. Only a couple of times.  I hit her. She pulled me by the hair. And I hated her like everything.  Once more, Mrs. Renard. Would you mind telling us how you spent your time since early this morning, where you went, what you did, everything? I told you already everything. Will you tell us again, please? I got up about quarter to nine. I had a cup of coffee and then I got dressed. The old lady was on the back porch doing the washing. What did your mother-in-law do for a living? I told you. She took in washing. After I got dressed, I left the house. About ten minutes after nine, I went downtown to the dentist. He filled a tooth for me. It's right here. You can ask him. What time did you leave the dentist's office? About quarter after ten. Maybe twenty after. You can ask him. What'd you do after that? I walked around window shopping. Did you buy anything? Talked to anybody? I told you no. What time did you get home? About past twelve. I went in the bedroom. The old lady was on the floor. Blood all over. I felt her heart. It wasn't beating. And is that when you got the blood on your dress? Yeah. Now that's all I'm gonna say. Three times I told you the same story already. And you still can't account for your time between ten, twenty this morning and the time you found the body and called the police at twelve, thirty. I told you I left the dentist. I went window shopping. Then I walked home. And during that time you didn't talk to anyone and no one saw you? Lots of people saw me. People on the street downtown. I'm no tramp. I don't talk to everybody. None of your neighbors saw you come home, Ms. Renard? Of course they didn't see me. I cut across the back lot up from San Jose Avenue. I came in the back way. The lady who lives next door to you. She says she was in the back yard about noon time. She stayed there until after one o'clock. She didn't see you come in the back way.   You and your husband took out an insurance policy on your mother-in-law last year. Is that right, Ms. Renard? Sure it is. What of it? $5,000. Yeah? So what? You know a man by the name of George Martino? No. You better tell the truth, Ms. Renard. All right. So I do. He's a friend of mine. You've been running around with him since your husband's been away. None of your business. I do what I want. Your mother-in-law found out about Martino. That's what you fought about most of the time. Oh, she was crazy. He's a friend of mine. That's all. Are you telling the truth, Ms. Renard? Martino's a boyfriend of mine. I told you. That's all. Your mother-in-law found out you were running around with him. She warned you if you didn't shake Martino, she'd write your husband. You said you'd kill her if she did. That's a lie. That's what your mother-in-law told one of the neighbor ladies. Well, I said it just to scare her. One night I was drinking. We had a fight. She was yapping at me all night. I said it just to scare her. But she wrote the letter anyway. And that's what she said. But I didn't kill her. You had the time, the motive, and the opportunity. It wasn't me.  Interrogation Room Friday. This is Brennan Joe. Yeah, Bill, where are you? Santa Monica. Ben and I drove Mrs. Renard to Lincoln Heights Jail 5th floor and had her booked on suspicion of 187 PC. When we checked back in at the office, Brennan and Wiseman, the other two men on the case with Ben and I, were questioning George Martino in the interrogation room. Ben and I stood by. Martino admitted only two things. He had been running around with Mrs. Renard since her husband left town, and he had heard Mrs. Renard express a desire to do away with her mother-in-law. After the questioning of Martino, Sergeant Brennan and Ben and I met with Chief Ed Backstrand. It was 5.15 p.m. You got everything but the murder weapon, huh? That, Mrs. Renard's confession. She ought to come through, huh, Joe? I don't know.  What about Martino, Brennan? You think he had a hand in it? I don't think so. We spent most of the afternoon talking to him. He hasn't got the guts. We took a statement. And does he have an alibi? Solid. What was the cause of death? Stringulation, multiple fractures of the skull. All the motives are with Mrs. Renard, Chief. Pretty clear-cut job. No evidence of robbery or burglary, I guess. A couple of dresser drawers in the bedroom were emptied on the floor, and floors stole, stole around. Pretty obvious plan to make it look like burglary. Maybe. We found three $1 bills in plain sight. They were on the floor near the body. If a burglar went through this stuff, he wouldn't have missed that money. It shouldn't be too much trouble tying it up. Shouldn't be scared of her? Friday and Romero, you follow the case through. Just a minute. Hello, Backstrand. Yeah. What? All right, I'll send him over. Lee Jones. Just finished checking the evidence at the crime lab. Yeah. He thinks Mrs. Renard's innocent. There they are, fellas. Facts no lie. But she had every reason in the world to kill Lola. In my book, she couldn't have killed her. All right, let's have it, Lee. How does the evidence add up? Just it. Joe doesn't. Take a look. The dress Mrs. Renard was wearing when she found the body. That's it. Blood smears near the hem. Two smears, that's all. Now, if she murdered her mother-in-law, there should be more blood on this dress. It shouldn't be smeared. I mean... First of all, the man in which the old lady was killed, head was battered in, must have bled profusely. No question about that. All right, go ahead. Whoever murdered the old lady must have stains all over their clothes. Here's the important part. Because of the nature of the wound, it would have stained in drops, not smears. Well, how can you tell the difference? Maybe these are dropped stains on her desk. Renard, I checked them with a microscope. Only the higher ribs of the cloth are stained. There is nothing else, but a drop forms its own definite drop pattern and permeates the cloth, soaks in. No signs of that on her dress? Not a one. Now, here's the silk scarf the old lady was strangled with. Here's what I found in the knot tied in the scarf. A blonde hair, wavy. The old lady had dark hair. So does Mrs. Renard. So does her boyfriend. That's what I mean. This blonde hair is one of two things that didn't belong at that murder scene. What else you got? This here. What is it, Len? Small piece of plastic. But I'd say, see here? Criss-cross surface and a little smooth area here. The killer could have hit the old lady with a butt of a gun.  Mrs. Renard doesn't own a gun. He did her murder now. Where does that leave us? I don't know, Joe. There's the stuff. You can't disregard it. Maybe you can explain it. How? Well, first prove this dress isn't the one Mrs. Renard was wearing this morning. Then find the dress she did wear. And we know she wore this when the dentist identified it and so did two of the neighbors. That's what I mean. The dress is too clean. It doesn't belong.  Well, then you think she's innocent. You're looking at the evidence. What do you think? 6 p.m. Saturday, November 5th, Ben and I went back to the office and met with Brennan Wiseman and had back strand. The open and shut case against Mrs. Renard was up in the air. But we still weren't sure that she was innocent of the murder of her mother-in-law. Ben and I drove to the Lincoln Heights jail and interviewed the suspect again. She agreed to submit to a lie detector test. We drove back to the office, contacted Sergeant Berger, the department's polygraph man, and set up a special test for the following day. The next morning, we met with Berger and formulated a list of key questions. And then we picked up Mrs. Renard and brought her to the third floor of the old city jail building, the polygraph room. At 10.33 a.m., the test got underway. As usual, Sergeant Berger conducted the interview alone. Back strand, Ben and I waited outside. How about Mrs. Renard's husband getting down yet? He's doing around noon, Mr. Berger. Got a smoke? Yeah. Here you are, Ed. Yeah. Thanks. What time is it now? 11.25. Here's Berger now. That's it, Ed. What'd you get? I can study the chart a little more. The results are pretty well defined, though. How's it look? No reaction to the key questions. What's your opinion? I don't think she did it. You are listening to Dragnet, authentic stories of your police force in action. And in leading magazines this week, you'll see this authentic story. Headline. Fatima's sensational growth sets a record for long cigarettes. Then you'll read the actual reasons smokers give for changing to Fatima. Fatima is different. It's mild and has a wonderful flavor. Fatima's best. These are the words of Miss Pamela Bookman of New York, where Fatima has increased its smokers 132%. Fatima tastes much better than any other long cigarette. It's the best. Says Mr. James S. Winterhalter of Detroit, where Fatima smokers have increased 348%. I like the flavor, and Fatima is mild. It's the best long cigarette. That's the statement of Mrs. Mary C. Worderman of Los Angeles, where Fatima has increased its smokers 545%. Yes, more and more long cigarette smokers every day agree. A change to Fatima is a change to the best. Enjoy Fatima yourself. Best of long cigarettes. 8 a.m. Monday, November 7th. Mrs. Renard was released from custody. We questioned her husband, Frank Renard, briefly. He could tell us nothing more than we already knew. Brennan and Weisman were called back on the case, and together the four of us started over again from the beginning. We had a dead body, two pieces of physical evidence to work with, no idea how to fit them together, and no suspects. We went back to the Chavez Road neighborhood where the murdered woman lived and started pushing doorbells. We canvassed the neighborhood for three days, and we uncovered one slim lead. He was selling magazines, officer, went door to door right up the street here, young fellow. Could you describe the man for us, please? Nothing to talk about. Pasty face, pimply complexion, blonde hair. 5.30 p.m. Wednesday, November the 9th. Ben and I met with Brennan and Weisman in the backstrand's office to compare notes. Together, we had more than a dozen reports of the magazine salesman's presence in the neighborhood just prior to the murder of Mrs. Renard's mother-in-law. The various descriptions of the man, which we obtained from the people in the neighborhood, tallied closely. About 6 feet, 170 pounds, pimply complexion, blonde hair, fast talkum. About 25 years old. As far as we know, Scabery was the only stranger in the neighborhood last Saturday morning, only one that people remember anyway. How close did you trace him to the Renard house? You got your list there, Brennan. When he picked up his tracks down on Floresta Street, sold a couple of descriptions there, then he headed up Landers Avenue onto Chavez Road. Yeah. The Renards live at 2280 Chavez Road. My salesman talked to the woman at 2274 Chavez. That's three doors away from the Renards. When was he seen them? Let me see. Where is that, Brennan? Oh, on the 1577 sheet show. Didn't have enough room on the report. Oh, yeah. Here it is. Mrs. John Rico, 2274 Chavez. The guy was there about 1145 Saturday morning. Yeah, and that puts him in the running. The first time he ever showed in that neighborhood. First time, Scabery. Fresh kid, not a very good salesman. Here's the name of the company he's working for, the Harrison News Distributors. Did you check with them? They're closed for the night. We'll call them the first thing tomorrow. Good. Here's something else for you. I had a call from Frank Renard this afternoon. What do you have to say? Seems in the excitement just after the murder, Mrs. Renard overlooked a couple of things. What's that? They're missing a yellow table model radio. It was in the bedroom where the old lady was killed. Yeah, well, that ties in with the robbery motive. Yeah, they're missing a ring, too. Belonged to Mrs. Renard, Topaz ring. It's supposed to be worth a little money. But she didn't notice it was gone until today. That's right. You got the serial number on the radio? Yeah, right here. Yeah, let's see. Yeah, Ben, here we are. The Emerson model 511 180,000, 277609. Not a small radio in town. There's only one with that serial number on it. Track it down. A complete description of the Topaz ring and the serial numbers and description of the yellow table model radio were sent to the pawn shop detail. The information was then placed on the stolen property list and relayed to every pawn shop operator in the city. The next morning, Ben and I interviewed the manager of the Harrison News Distributing Company. There, the suspect had given his name as Sam Bricker. We checked out his home address. Turned out to be a gas station in North Hollywood. We took the suspect's job application blank with the specimen of his handwriting, and then we drove back to the office. Sam Bricker, we were unable to get a make on the name from the record bureau. We got the cards and every known criminal who was catalogued in the oddity file as having a pimply complexion, none of them matched. That night we got out on APB and a radiogram. The suspect's trail led from one salesman's job to the next. On his last job, he gave his name as Albert Berry. His address is 1430 Palo Alto Drive. It was in the Echo Lake District. Ben and I drove out to check it. 1428, 1430. There it is, Joe. At least it's not a gas station, huh? Tarsam, huh? Yeah, I could stand a change. Yes, what is it? We're looking for an Albert Berry, ma'am. Does he live here? Mr. Berry, I'm sorry. He and his wife moved four days ago. We identified ourselves as police officers and had the landlady, a Mrs. Catherine Hoffman, show us the apartment which Berry and his wife had occupied. It was still vacant. In one of the closets in the apartment, we found a cheap overnight bag. The lock on it was broken and one of the seams had ripped. I forgot about that old bag and Mr. Berry told me I could throw it away. Take a look. I'm in. How long has Berry been married? Do you know Mrs. Hoffman? No, I don't. But the way they acted, lovey-dovey all the time, I don't think they've been together long. Joe, look, some kind of an identification tag. Yeah, let me see. It's up here. It's a tool disc. It looks like, doesn't it? Jameson Larrabee, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Yes, ma'am, we are. Good morning, Andrea. I wish you did. I'm holding three letters for Mrs. Berry in my apartment right now. May we see them, please? Certainly. Would you step this way, please? My apartment's just across the hall. Yes, ma'am. Would you like a bottle of beer or something? No, ma'am, thanks. Let's see. I thought I could... Yes, here they are. Three of them, Sergeant. From her folks, I think. Mrs. Berry's from Fresno. I want to copy down this return address, ma'am. Yeah, go ahead. That's C-K-L-R-U-L-R-I-C-K. Mm-hmm. 525 North Lamona, Fresno. Yeah, go ahead.  Mrs. Berry did. That's why I'm holding onto it. All right. Just one more question. Do you remember if Mr. and Mrs. Berry had a radio? Yes, they did. A small one. Do you remember what brand it was? No, I don't. It had a yellow case. I don't remember. Before we left, we called Ed Backstrand and he had an immediate stakeout placed at the apartment house in case the Berries returned to pick up their mail. Ben and I went back to the office in place to call to the Pittsburgh Police Department. We gave them the description and the number of the tool disc which we'd found in Berry's old suitcase. They said they'd check with the Jameson-Laraby Company in the morning and then they'd call us back. That night, Ben and I drove to Fresno and checked in at the police station up there. Two officers were assigned to stake out the Ulrich home. We interviewed Mr. Ulrich, who identified himself as Albert Berry's father-in-law. He told us his daughter had married the murder suspect eight months before and he gave us pictures of Berry taken at the wedding. Ulrich told us that he'd catch a Santa Fe train out of Fresno the next morning. He wanted to be in Los Angeles to take his daughter home when Berry was apprehended. It was almost 2 a.m. when Ben and I left Fresno and started back for Los Angeles. We checked in at the office at 10 minutes past 8 the next morning. At 8.35, the call came through from the Pittsburgh Police Department. What did they say, Joe? It was a tool disc, all right. Jameson-Laraby Company issued 18 months ago to one of their workers.  Albert Berry. 11 a.m. Monday, December the 5th. One month to the day since the 62-year-old woman had been beaten to death. The pictures of Berry and his wife, which had been taken at their wedding, were printed up in wholesale lots and distributed to all points. Mr. Ulrich, Berry's father-in-law, arrived in town and got himself a hotel room. There was no report from the steak out of the apartment house. We checked back in at the office at 5 minutes to 1. I get it. I'm aside, Friday. This is Mr. Ulrich Sargent. I just got a call from my wife in Fresno I thought you'd want to know. What's that? We're living in South Pasadena, an apartment. You got the address there? Yes, sir. When was the letter mailed, do you know? Wife said it was postmark December 3rd, day before yesterday.  We'll be right over. They picked up Mr. Ulrich at his hotel and drove to the South Pasadena address. Berry and his wife had the apartment on the top floor. Neither of them were at home. The landlord let us in with a pass key. In the bedroom, we found a small yellow radio. We checked the serial numbers. They matched. It was the same radio stolen from the Renard House. In the bedroom closet, we found two suitcases. We checked through them. Nothing in this one, Joe. Here we are. Look at these. What are they, Sargent? They're gun bites. Let's see, Joe. Sargent, somebody coming up the stairs. All right, let's get in the living room. Be quiet. Who are these men? Police, Norma. They want Albert.  It's all right, Norma. It'll be all right.  He told me last Saturday. We've been running away for a month now. Moving all the time. I wanted to know why. He told me. He said I was in it as much as he was. And I'm tired of running. I'm coming. Why did he kill her? Did he tell you then? He... He said he broke in the house. He didn't know anyone was home. I think all women was in the bedroom. He started to cry out. He had a gun. He hit her with it. Where's your husband now? I don't know. He said he'd come home for dinner. About five. About the groceries. What time you got been? Half past three. That ring you were in, Miss Berry. Did your husband give you that? Yes, why? What kind of a stone is that? To a pest. Bert gave it to me. Why? Nothing. We'll wait. Clock came and went. No. 5.30. Ulrich started to get nervous. 6 o'clock. 6.30. No sign of Berry. I went to the window and kept an eye on the street below. At 6.45 a light green nash sedan pulled to a stop in front of the apartment house. A man got out and went into the main floor entrance. Bert. I'll let him in. How long have you had the new car? A couple of days. What do you want me to do now? Does he have a key to the apartment here? He lost it. When he rings, let him in. Just act natural. You cover me. I'll get the cuffs on him. Hi, Bert. Look out, Joe! Drop it, Berry! He's fast with a gun. Nice looking, isn't he, Sarge?  Come on, let's take him in. I love him.  You wouldn't understand. That's right. I wouldn't understand. I'm a cop.

Hey what's it you guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here. Hi, hello, I'm Lydia I'm 24 years old and I'm moving into whole videos here on YouTube when I'm not severely depressed. Kind of disappeared for nearly three months, so sorry about that but I was really depressed. Today I thought I'd do a life update video because like I said I disappeared for three months and a lot happened. I was on one to one. Literally last week I came off one to one so that's something that happened. And the reason I got part on one to one was because I made an attempt on my life that had I not been found I wouldn't be sat here right now. So I was part on one to one. I'm starting on lithium which is interesting. Fingers crossed. I've done something that I've been on before and I didn't react great to it because I couldn't stay hydrated enough but now I drink water all the time. I have two water bottles that like I'm drinking water. So hopefully this time I should be able to stay hydrated and should be able to stay on the medication. Today I hit 19.5k on Twitter which is something that I'm proud of. I've been inpatient for nine months now, nearly ten months. I haven't really been doing an awful lot. I've been depressed in bed. Not even checking my phone and just lying there.  I'm currently reading they both die in the end and it's a really good book. I would recommend. I'm going to be having surgery on my toes but if you want me to make a video talking about that let me know in the comments down below. Or if you have any video requests leave it in the comments down below and I'll do it. I'm trying to get back into making videos and my energy levels are still quite low but I'm hoping that I'm coming across okay. Hi there, are you okay? Yeah. I'm on 15 minute checks. I made a gunk. Do you like my gunk? It's a little bubble hat. So what have you guys been up to? What's been going on in your life? What's the latest gossip?

Hey there lads and ladies it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and I am back with some very exciting firewall zero hour news as first contact entertainment have released an official teaser for their DLC number two which will include a loss of new stuff. So before I begin I'm sorry I know I've been a bit of a bollocks I've been a bit quiet lately on the channel I've been playing red dead redemption 2 an awful loss and the game has taken way longer than I expected to be but don't worry I'll be back to streaming and the top 10 bids and all the other firewall and ps viewer stuff soon who cares about that let's get on to the new DLC. So the video itself is quite short it's under a minute but I think it manages to tell us a loss in that short time. First and most obvious thing to notice here is that we have a new contractor it's a female contractor and it's possible that this is the Irish female contractor that Hess Barber revealed a few weeks ago during a live stream here on this channel but keep in mind they may have a few contractors up their sleeve and she could be from anywhere it could be a different contractor and might not be her at all we never get a clear look at her face but we do see something interesting on her waist as she walks away to leave she has a small teddy bear wearing a red t-shirt attached looks a bit like Winnie the Pooh no doubt this teddy bear will factor into her backstory in some way similar to how Skip wears the two wristwatches it's possible that the teddy bear might belong to her child or maybe some family member that she may have lost in the past something like that it's unlikely to be anything other than cosmetic however speaking of cosmetics though if you look at her hands which is what you'll be seeing the most if you play as her you'll see that her left hand is gloved while her right hand is not and when she answers her phone after it rings you can see she is wearing some dark nail polish first contact do a great job of making it easy to tell who you're playing as based on unique hand accessories and designs and it seems that will stay the same here for this new lady of course each operator has their own embedded ability but it's very hard to know if it's been hinted at here now we do see that she's typing away at the computer so maybe she has some kind of hacking or IT related skill maybe she can fix your computer for you I don't know she also answers her phone at one point maybe that hints at something like communication related possibly something to do with the voice chat in the game that's an awful stretch I know everyone has a phone you know but that is you know it's just complete pure speculation and it could be completely irrelevant to her actual skill if you do see some clue here that I missed that you think hints towards her ability then please let me know in the comments below anyway that's all we can really say about the new contractor for now I think but we aren't done yet we see that she's sitting in front of multiple screens here which change after she receives a phone call now I don't believe the initial screens are important there's just some random art assets on the screen that god damn number two again which means nothing but when they do change and the camera focuses on them more clearly we can see a bunch more stuff being hinted at we see three new firearms one new item a new map and finally some new cosmetic skins starting at the top left we see an assault rifle called the g6 dash commando which is clearly inspired by the real life famas assault rifle next to that we see a submachine gun called the xm dash or 90 which is definitely firewalls version of the real world p90 a weapon that I've liked ever since metal gears out of two in the bottom left we see a pistol called the spitfire now I don't know what the real world inspiration is for this gun so if you do let me know down below but the interesting thing about this weapon is that when I went over to the official first contact entertainment blog for their community update number seven which comes out every Friday and it detailed this tease abyss and was written by Damon Shabastiri and he refers to the spitfire as an smg rather than what it says on the screen here which is a pistol he also says it has a big kickback and it's great for blind fire so I think it's safe to say that the spitfire will be the first pistol with auto fire so that's it for the firearms so let's go check out the new isam in the top rise screen it appears to be called a satchel it's got a couple of an antenna sticking out of us as well as a big red switch I think and I'm kind of not really sure what to make of this isam my first instinct is that it's an explosive of some kind but if it is then what makes it different to the c4 that's already in the game could it be timed instead of remote controlled and if it is timed is that really useful then I wondered if it might be some kind of non explosive device maybe some kind of camera or communication jammer seen as it has the antenna or maybe some kind of EMP device that maybe disables jammers signal jammers or something like that I don't know either way I'm very intrigued to learn more about this satchel and of course I'd love to hear what you guys think what I could do in the comments below so let me know now in the bottom middle screen we can see what appears to be the new map the name of the map isn't revealed I don't think but we are given clues in the middle of the screen we can see what I believe anyway is the actual like the map blueprint or the map layout but at this resolution it's hard to make out any of the finer details other than it's kind of shaped like a fish on the rise of the screen then you can see what appears to be the country or perhaps continent that the map is located in now it kind of looks like the west side of South America from this screen going by the shape but it's hard to tell for sure because I don't know how zoomed in this image is it could be a lot of places again if you think you know put it down below finally then we get a look at some new cosmetics now it's hard to get a clearer image at these cosmetics but the one on the top right does look fairly unique I'll be interested to see how that looks and then that's it for the teaser for DLC number two now we don't have a release days and we don't know what these will cost or even if they will cost I suspect that the map will be free to avoid splitting the player base and it could be risky for them to charge for the weapons too especially if one of those weapons becomes the new mess or something like that so they might not charge for weapons as well but the cosmetics and even the new contractor are fairer game to cost money in my opinion now there is no mention of raising the level cap so I suspect if you are already a high level you'll probably unlock the new gear straight away but we'll have to wait and see maybe they will boost the level cap we don't know just yet anyway as in ladies I will end the video there it is so nice to have some big juicy firewall news to look forward to again and I've got lots of other firewall videos I've been planning upcoming in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that once red dead redemption 2 releases me from its vice like grips that is anyway thank you very much for watching I always appreciate it but if you'd like to go the extra mile to help me out then please consider doing all that usual shies thanks again I will see you guys on the next one and stay moist please
