00:00Shortly, we will be releasing the person of interest who had been detained earlier today and the Attorney General can speak a little bit about the rationale for that, but we want to inform the community that that
00:27individual will shortly be released from Providence Police. We know that this is likely to cause fresh anxiety for our community, and we want to reiterate what we said earlier, which remains true, which is ever since the initial call, now a day and a half ago, we have not received any credible or specific threats to the Providence community.
00:55And so the status of safety in our community remains unchanged, and we believe that you remain safe in our community, though we will continue to have an enhanced police presence throughout the city and on the Brown campus.
01:12Our investigation into this horrific act remains ongoing. It has been ongoing, and I know there's been some frustration from members of the community and others about the language that we've been using about the person of interest and such,
01:31and that speaks to directly the fact that this investigation was and continues ongoing, and we will continue to endeavor to not confirm any information that is not yet confirmable.
01:43This is what these investigations look like. I've been around long enough to know that sometimes you head in one direction and then you have to regroup and go in another, and that's exactly what has happened over the last 24 hours or so.
01:56Certainly there was some degree of evidence that pointed to this individual, but that evidence needed to be corroborated and confirmed, and over the last 24 hours leading into just very, very recently, that evidence now points in a different direction.
02:14So what that means is that this person of interest needs to be and should be released.
02:19I think what is really unfortunate that this person's name was leaked to the public. It's hard to put that back in the bottle, okay?
02:30So we're going to proceed very carefully here. There is too much at stake for the victims of this horrific crime and their families to take chances with respect to this investigation.
02:44And I want to make sure that we all understand that this was a very complex investigation, and it still is. So in a sense, we followed on a lead, and we followed on the specific lead, but we're able to examine every single evidence that led us to this individual.
03:01And at that point, that's how investigations work. Investigations will tell us whether something is valid or not, whether something needs to be ruled out. It's not a mistake. It's just how investigations work.
03:12I'm very proud of the detective work that they do detectives that work throughout the night, as the general stated. We're here last night making sure that we lift every rock, that we investigate everything we need to investigate,
03:25because we're not in the business of putting people in jail that don't deserve to be. And so at this point, we'll continue to follow on every lead that comes our way.
03:35Our federal partners are on board. We'll be meeting again tomorrow with them and continue to do the work that we need to do to bring this person who's responsible to justice.
03:45Thanks. Thanks, doctor. Well done. Mary, thank you. Good to see you.
03:55Is he released past tense or you're releasing him shortly?
03:58No, no, no, no.
04:05Do you want to carry on him 50 points?
04:07But if you don't buy Camila.
04:08Game unfolds for you?
04:09No, I'll learn more with them 5 points.
04:10We'll see you as he bears on the forecast board.
04:11But we don't even use them unless they're in shape.
04:12You get closer to him.
04:14Okay, look so many good parents, but they'll see you as this person who's family.
04:15What do you see?
04:17Well, I'll see you next time.
04:19Good day.
