00:00So this was Alan Champion, former AUSA.
00:03NYPD ruled his death a suicide, but that theory is evolving.
00:07So where are we at authenticating the note found at his residence?
00:10I'm still waiting on forensic handwriting analysis.
00:12But here's what we know about that murder weapon.
00:14Possible murder weapon.
00:16Luminal confirms trace amounts of Alan's blood on the statue,
00:19not visible to the human eye. Someone wiped it clean.
00:22Not clean enough.
00:23And a missing fragment from the same statue was found lodged in Alan's skull.
00:27Okay, so what are we thinking?
00:28Alan was bludgeoned in his own home,
00:30and our perp dropped him headfirst over the balcony to cover his tracks, yeah?
00:34No other prints or DNA were found in the apartment.
00:37Okay, so let's rebuild Alan Champion's last day.
00:39Maybe his route can tell a story.
00:41Ian, can you use the cell phone's location services, or...
00:44Can, yeah. His phone used a dual-frequency GPS,
00:46which can pinpoint his location down to six feet.
00:49This is the day before his death.
00:51Usual routine starts at his apartment, hits up a local coffee shop,
00:55then he heads towards the courthouse.
00:56But check it out, on this day,
00:59he turns around, crosses the river, then heads east.
01:01Okay, so where does he end up?
01:03It's a parking lot at some low-end motel in Long Island.
01:07Tell me it's not too low-end to have surveillance.
01:09It's limited, but something.
01:11Okay. Yeah, yeah. Ding, ding, ding.
01:14Look at this. Looks tense.
01:16I mean, that could be the killer, right? Give me an idea.
01:19Yeah. Wendell Troost,
01:21software developer for Canto Airlines,
01:24a midsize carrier throughout the Northeast,
01:26although it looks like he resigned last week.
01:29Wendell Troost, what's your story?
