00:00In downtown Manhattan, a distressed woman calls police from an apartment building.
00:14She's found her cousin, Fahim Saleh.
00:18He's been murdered.
00:21The 911 caller stated that her cousin was found dismembered inside his apartment.
00:30She was really distraught and screaming.
00:34I needed police to respond.
00:40This video provided by a neighbor shows a threatening man.
00:45He's seen walking past a hole holding an axe.
01:00At the time of Fahim Saleh's murder, I was a detective, third grade, working out of the Lower East Side, seventh precinct detective squad.
01:29As I was pulling up to the scene, I noticed a bunch of patrol vehicles, some cops, paramedics.
01:39A crime scene tape was set up.
01:41And we head inside the building.
01:49Inside the lobby is the cousin, and she was very upset.
01:56She was crying.
01:57She's obviously very distraught.
02:03I wouldn't want to be in her shoes to see a family member in that way.
02:09It must have been really shocking for her.
02:13In the lobby, Detective Tedisco asks Fahim's cousin why she was visiting him.
02:19The cousin worked for Fahim.
02:22She used to set up his meetings, so she was in constant contact with Fahim all the time.
02:28She wasn't able to get in touch with him for, like, a couple of days.
02:32So she decided to go to the apartment to look for him.
02:38After she discovered the body, she ran out of the apartment making the 911 call to the police.
02:45We knew that we had to conduct a thorough interview with her to get more details on what she saw.
02:52So we asked patrol to stay with her while we go upstairs and take a look at the crime scene.
03:03The way the building's structured is when you get out of the elevator, you go directly into the apartment.
03:09So you would need a key fob in order to get into your apartment.
03:15We had the building super escort us up, and we exit the elevator.
03:19We walk into the living room.
03:21We see a torso on the ground with missing limbs, missing head, and missing legs.
03:32The torso had a T-shirt with cut-off sleeves and a pair of shorts.
03:39The victim appeared to just come back from jogging.
03:44At the foot of the torso, there was four construction bags.
03:52We happened to take a peek inside the bags, not to disturb the crime scene.
03:58Inside the bags, there was the head, the two arms, and the two legs.
04:05You wouldn't want anyone to see something like that.
04:08It's very disturbing, very gruesome.
04:13It was probably one of the most gruesome scenes I've ever been involved with.
04:21Behind the construction bags, there was a lot of cleaning material on the ground.
04:26Ammonia, gloves, sponges, things of that nature.
04:30Near the body, we noticed a Makita battery-operated saw with blood on the blade.
04:39And on the couch, there was also a pair of scissors with some blood splatter on it also.
04:45What it tells me is that this person is evil.
04:49You know, for someone to not only just kill somebody, but then to plan to dismember a body,
04:56this person has to be a psychopath.
04:57With so much evidence left in the apartment,
05:04Detective Tedisco wonders if the killer might still be close by.
05:10We thought this job was not finished, so we searched the building.
05:16We couldn't find him.
05:18Time is ticking, and we had no idea who did this.
05:22It might have been a robbery, could have been a burglary, it could have been anything.
05:25So my first reaction was, this is going to be a tough case to solve.
05:30But we have to try to solve it as quickly as possible,
05:34because the suspect could be in the wind.
05:35Andrew Ramos, working for a local news outlet, covers the story.
05:52When the news first broke about this case, I was on the scene.
06:01I remember seeing every reporter from every news outlet in front of his apartment doing the same story,
06:07reporting from that scene and looking up at the apartment thinking like, this is horrible.
06:12This story just sent shockwaves across the city.
06:16It shook a lot of people because of the evilness that took place in that apartment.
06:22We hear about a lot of cases, especially when we live in New York City.
06:26This one certainly was something that one noticed.
06:30The fact that someone not only committed the horrific crimes of the stabbing and the dismembering,
06:36but that it was done in the privacy of the victim's own home,
06:39where one is supposed to feel the safest, I think, is what stood out the most in my mind.
06:46As the details came out, it just, it went from bad to worse.
06:50What goes through someone's mind to perform such heinous acts?
06:54Why would the person who killed him also take the steps of dismembering him?
07:00The goal would be to dispose of the body so that the body's never found.
07:04All eyes were on the NYPD to figure this out, because it was a scary situation.
07:09The pressure was on the department to figure this out and figure it out quick.
07:14We know it's going to be a high-profile case.
07:16There's going to be a lot of scrutiny.
07:17But you have to, you know, you have to take your time and do it right.
07:22We had to try to get a reason why Fahim was killed.
07:27So we had to look into his whole background.
07:3433-year-old Fahim Saleh was a tech visionary.
07:39Born to Bangladeshi parents, at high school, he set up his first business and went on to
07:46found a series of tech companies around the world.
07:49My name's Awad Saeed.
08:02I first met Fahim in 2010 when I started working for him at his company Tap Fury.
08:09Fahim as a boss was someone who was able to motivate and inspire and do it in a way where
08:18he brought out the best in you.
08:21And it was just so impressive that someone so young could inspire a group of people to
08:26all come together and do great work like that.
08:28And you could tell that everyone really enjoyed being there.
08:32But I think his real superpower was finding other smart people to work with and sharing
08:39his cleverness with them and really making one plus one equal three.
08:44He had this aura around him.
08:46And those are the types of people you really do want to surround yourself with in life.
08:50What really struck me about Fahim is that he was an immigrant.
08:56He was self-made.
08:57I mean, I think you see a lot of these tech CEOs who get that loan from dad.
09:02He did everything by himself.
09:04I think he definitely had a bright future ahead of him.
09:09He just seemed like he knew more than most.
09:13Fahim was just overall a really good person, very generous.
09:18He had a lot of good friends.
09:20And they couldn't think of anyone that would want to hurt Fahim in this manner.
09:26But somebody wanted Fahim dead.
09:30Detective Tedisco needs to know who and why.
09:34What's the motive behind it, you know?
09:37Could have been something money motivated?
09:40Was it a robbery?
09:41Could have been a burglary?
09:44Fahim was worth over $100 million.
09:47He was very successful.
09:49Could it be something to do with his success?
09:54We had to ask ourselves, could this have been a business deal gone bad?
09:58Could he have been killed by a competitor?
10:00You know, we had so many questions, not many answers.
10:04It reeked of someone who targeted him.
10:09He had money.
10:11He had wealth.
10:12He had a very nice apartment in downtown Manhattan.
10:16Fahim's first big success was this app called Prank Dial.
10:35It's kind of in the name.
10:37You can send prank calls to your friends.
10:39While using this app, you're being recorded, and people don't know that they're being recorded.
10:47It was all in good fun.
10:48You'd get a recording of the call you made, and it was massively successful.
10:52It turned out to make them over $100,000.
10:55But the app was open to abuse.
11:00In 2012, Kirk Eady, a correctional facility deputy director, used it to call people at work without their knowledge.
11:11In U.S. District Federal Court in Newark, former Hudson County Jail Deputy Director Kirk Eady was sentenced to 21 months in prison and three years probation for wiretapping charges.
11:21After he was released, Kirk Eady tried to sue Fahim for $10 million because he said that he didn't know that it was illegal to record people on the phone.
11:33He lost everything.
11:34His reputation is living.
11:37So perhaps Kirk Eady had a motive.
11:40But after looking into it, there was no evidence that Kirk Eady was involved in this crime.
11:45Detective Tedisco looks into Fahim's other businesses.
11:51After the success of Pranktile, Fahim diversified, setting up several companies in the developing world.
12:01As his success grew, he started taking on bigger and bigger challenges and projects and started some businesses all centered around logistics, whether that's deliveries or ride shares.
12:13Back when no one else was really focusing on that.
12:16Fahim had a ride sharing company in Bangladesh called Parfea.
12:21He also had a company in Nigeria called Gokata, which also was a ride sharing company.
12:28Detective Tedisco finds out that Gokata, Fahim's Nigerian business, had run into trouble.
12:36Alleging it was unsafe, the authorities had shut it down.
12:40He was having some issues with the government there.
12:44The government didn't want him taking over the taxi industry in Nigeria.
12:49Could Fahim have been killed by someone angry about Gokata's decline?
12:55That was an area that we had to look into.
12:59Could have been somebody from Nigeria, like a hit person.
13:03And we were really concerned about that.
13:04He was considered a pretty big tech giant in the developing worlds.
13:13Is it possible that Fahim Saleh was killed because a business deal went bad?
13:19Certainly that was possible.
13:21The reality is that he was a prominent person involved in business in a lot of countries.
13:29And I think that can open the door for conspiracy theories.
13:33But ultimately, he was trying to do good in a lot of the developing world.
13:37I remember him speaking about how he was helping not only these drivers, but their families.
13:44And how he was not going to be able to provide this service to this app anymore.
13:48I believe he really cared about that community.
13:52After looking into the background of the Gokata company, we didn't really find any evidence that this could be a Nigerian hit.
13:59And I know he was helping that community.
14:03It didn't make any sense that he would have someone angry at him to a point where they dismembered him.
14:09With the foreign business angle looking like a bust,
14:25Detective Tedisco takes a look at the video footage recorded around the time of Fahim's death.
14:31It becomes clear that the murderer only had one route into the apartment.
14:39We discovered that there was cameras inside the elevator.
14:44When you walk into the elevator, each floor would go into a different apartment.
14:50So the camera inside the elevator was essentially his front door camera.
14:57We were very excited to see what was on that footage.
15:00And we're hoping to see the suspect.
15:04Detective Tedisco views hours of video footage.
15:09It pays off when he finds the critical moment when a mysterious man steps into the elevator with Fahim.
15:24We were anxious to see this video.
15:26It could tell us a lot.
15:28We see Fahim Saleh entering the elevator.
15:34And right behind him, we see a suspect dressed all in black.
15:38Because it was during COVID, the suspect had a full face shield on, his head covered,
15:45his hands were covered with gloves, and you couldn't see his face.
15:49And you could see Fahim say something to him.
15:54We don't know exactly what it was, because there was no audio in there.
15:58He looks at him, but he doesn't really respond.
16:01And as the elevator opens, Fahim starts to walk out.
16:12And if you look in the back of Fahim's shirt, you could see a light go on.
16:17And Fahim falls down to the ground.
16:25And on the floor, you could see a taser with a light on it.
16:30And the elevator door closes.
16:32And that's when the suspect actually stabbed him several times around the neck area to actually kill him.
16:43When we first saw this video, we were like, what are we really watching?
16:48The way he was dressed, using the taser, waiting for the suspect, and following him into an elevator.
16:55He was very organized.
16:56He knew what he was doing.
16:57It gave us an indication that this was a planned attack.
17:02We were really concerned that this could have been a professional hit.
17:07But at this time, we have no idea who this masked person is.
17:11And we have to find that out.
17:15Although the killer is masked, the video holds important clues to his identity.
17:23Forensic analyst Nick Barrero examines the footage.
17:26An investigator looking at this video might be disappointed to see that the suspect has concealed his identity so well.
17:36But as a forensic analyst, when I look at this video, I still see a lot of detail that will ultimately help to identify the suspect.
17:43To use photogrammetry techniques on this footage, we need to tell the software where this camera is in 3D space.
17:57We do that by indicating three axes in the footage.
18:01The x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis.
18:04The blue lines here indicate the x-axis on the ground plane.
18:08The green lines represent the y-axis.
18:11And lastly, we need to tell the software what the z-axis looks like.
18:16And that's represented by these orange lines.
18:18So now that the software knows where this camera is oriented in 3D space, we need to give the software a reference measurement to use for comparison purposes.
18:30In this case, we will use the height of this number one placard outside the elevator.
18:36A standard height for these placards is about five feet off the ground, or 60 inches.
18:41So we'll use that as our reference measurement.
18:43Now we go to a frame where the suspect is visible, and we can measure his height using this red line.
18:52If the reference measurement of that placard on the elevator is 60 inches, then that would mean the suspect's height is 64 1⁄2 inches, or 5 foot 4 1⁄2 inches tall.
19:09No matter how well a suspect thinks they're concealing their identity, if they're captured on video, we're still going to learn some very valuable information.
19:18As Detective Tedisco and other officers continue to search through the building's security footage,
19:37they realize the killer doesn't exit the apartment using the elevator.
19:42Instead, he slips out, using the emergency exit.
19:46There's two separate staircases inside Fahim's apartment, where you can go all the way down to the ground level, and that's the way he went out.
19:59Footage from outside the apartment helps build a picture of the morning Fahim was murdered.
20:06We were able to find an exterior camera that faces out into the street.
20:10This camera here, we spent hours on this camera looking to see if we could capture anything.
20:18Fortunately, we were able to see the suspect walk by, and we paused it, and we got a side profile.
20:26There you go.
20:31As you can see, he's still covered up.
20:33He has a hat on, he has sunglasses, and he has a mask on.
20:36The only identifying mark was the color of his skin, and also his ear.
20:43This could have been easily missed.
20:45If you're watching this video, and you're not really looking for him,
20:48you can blink, and within a second, like right now, he walks by, and he's gone.
20:53That's it.
20:54It took about a second and a half.
20:57If you weren't looking, or you turned your head, we would have never got it.
21:00But we had some good detectives, and we were fortunate enough that a detective caught this.
21:08Police print the image of the masked killer's profile, and take it to Fahim's cousin and his sister.
21:15So I just took the chance and just slid the picture in front of them, and to see if they recognized him.
21:20And right away, you know, they let out that gasp, like, that's Tyrese.
21:32Tyrese Haspel is not a hitman.
21:35Yeah, she's trying to seduce you, man.
21:38Well known to the family, the 21-year-old handled many of Fahim's affairs for over a year, working as his PA.
21:46Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na, it's like Beauty and the Beast.
21:54Until the two parted company.
21:57It was someone he clearly trusted to handle his financials, handle his schedule, handle a lot for him personally.
22:05Fahim was giving him an opportunity to be part of something big, be part of his vision, be part of what he was building.
22:12Detective Tedisco digs into Tyrese's relationship with Fahim.
22:20Once the cousin and the sister told us about Tyrese, we started asking more questions about him.
22:31He was 21 years old, he was from Long Island, bright individual.
22:36He was hired to do odd tasks for him, like walk his dog, make appointments for him, maybe do some shopping for him.
22:44Tyrese had access to the apartment, he also had access to a lot of his business accounts, and a lot of his personal accounts.
22:54But Fahim had misjudged Tyrese.
22:58He was eventually let go, because he was stealing money.
23:01We learned from the family that Tyrese had stolen $95,000 from Fahim through fake business accounts that he used through PayPal.
23:15He would change a letter or number, and he would look just like the business account, but it was actually going into his own account.
23:24Fahim found out, but he didn't want to go to the police and get Tyrese in trouble.
23:32He didn't want to ruin his life by getting him arrested, so he didn't call the police.
23:37Most people would call the police.
23:40Most people would want their money back immediately.
23:42The fact that Fahim didn't immediately go to the police, I think it speaks to who he was and his character.
23:48The fact that even though he had been wronged so badly, he was still willing to work something out.
23:58Fahim had his attorney draw up a contract for Tyrese to pay him back each month a certain amount of money, which Tyrese agreed to and signed the contract.
24:07But Fahim didn't realize that Tyrese was paying him back with money that he was still stealing from Fahim.
24:15It was learned that Tyrese was actually stealing way more money than Fahim thought he had stolen.
24:22It was learned that it was closer to $400,000.
24:28If Tyrese is the man behind the mask, Detective Tedisco will need to prove it.
24:35After learning what Tyrese did, that gave us a motive and made him a suspect.
24:40But we had to prove that he committed the crime.
24:43We just kept digging and digging and digging and gathering more and more evidence.
24:50We subpoenaed his phone, which means we could track his movements.
24:55We knew where he was, but we didn't make the arrest yet.
24:58We wanted to wait for the district attorney to give us the okay where we had enough evidence to go pick him up.
25:04We worked closely with the district attorney's office.
25:09They were able to get access to Fahim's business accounts.
25:14We also were checking his credit card statements and his purchases.
25:20The records show that Fahim's credit card was used by the suspect the day after the murder.
25:25We found that he actually purchased the cleaning material at a Home Depot in Manhattan.
25:33He purchased the cleaning items, the construction bags.
25:37Then he returned and attempted to continue dispersement of the body and get rid of it.
25:46While the receipts aren't proof, they suggest that if Tyrese did kill Fahim, he took two days to cut up the body and clean the crime scene.
26:00It still wasn't enough.
26:02We needed the smoking gun.
26:04We needed something bigger to tie him to the murder of Fahim.
26:08Detective Tedisco goes to the security footage again.
26:18We continued watching video.
26:21We noticed that the suspect appears to be vacuuming the elevator.
26:26He appears to be cleaning something up.
26:29It was very strange to see a killer bring his home hand vac to a crime scene and vacuum the crime scene up.
26:36It turns out that the masked man was picking up tiny paper markers known as anti-felon identifiers or aphids, which are released when a taser fires.
26:49Each aphid carries a unique serial number.
26:53There was no way he got all of them.
26:55So we went back and searched ourselves, see if we could find anything.
27:00And we were able to define one right at the edge of the elevator on the molding.
27:06This aphid has the potential to directly tie Tyrese to Fahim's murder.
27:12So Detective Tedisco sends the serial code to the manufacturer, hoping they have a record of who purchased the weapon.
27:19And there's other evidence revealed on the elevator camera.
27:33This suspect obviously had a plan.
27:35This was not a spur of the moment type of crime.
27:39But there are things that people don't think about that could potentially be used to identify this suspect.
27:44I've enhanced the brightness and contrast in this video.
27:50If we zoom in on the collar of the suit jacket, we can see there's a crease or a fold under the collar here that may be identifiable later if this jacket is found in the suspect's closet.
28:06There are also a few frames here where we get a pretty good view of the front of the suit jacket and the buttons, their placement, and their style on the front of the coat.
28:21We can also take a closer look at the suspect's bag here.
28:25The zipper, the way that the buckles attach the handle to the bag.
28:29It looks like there's a pull tab attached to the zipper.
28:32All of these unique details could potentially be used to identify this bag later.
28:38But the most unique detail in this video are these boots.
28:41They would be immediately identifiable if they're later found in the suspect's possession.
28:47Despite the killer's efforts to disguise his identity, there are a number of unique identifiers in the elevator footage.
28:55We were able to calculate the suspect's height.
28:58We were able to see the suspect's unique boots, some unique characteristics about his clothing and about his bag.
29:05These details aren't much to go on.
29:08But when somebody is completely covered like this, this could make the difference in the case and ultimately help to convict a killer.
29:16Reviewing time codes on all the video footage, Detective Tedisco pieces together a timeline of the masked man's movements.
29:40He starts on the morning of the day that Fahim was killed.
29:43He tries multiple times to get into Fahim's apartment.
30:12Without success.
30:19So he waits in the lobby for Fahim to return from his run.
30:23It's hard to imagine the type of person that is capable, not of stealing $400,000, but of thinking that the only solution to protecting your crime is to commit such an incredibly violent crime to an individual that really just tried to help you.
30:44Finally, finally getting access to the elevator, he kills Fahim in cold blood.
30:51It's chilling that that type of evil is roaming the streets.
30:56I just don't understand.
30:57I just don't understand.
31:01After killing Fahim mid-afternoon, the cameras catch him leaving.
31:08The next day, after visiting Home Depot with Fahim's credit card, he returns to dismember his body.
31:27Several hours later, he leaves again.
31:34The reason he left the building was because the battery died in the Makita saw and he had left the charger at his house.
31:44So he went back to the home depot to purchase another charger so he could continue chopping up the body.
31:55It's when the killer is at Home Depot the second time that Fahim's cousin makes her gruesome discovery.
32:02This is when his cousin comes to the building to try to look for Fahim.
32:07It's kind of haunted because she doesn't know what she's going to walk into.
32:23He left the apartment around 2 p.m.
32:26The cousin had arrived around 3.30 or 3.45.
32:34At the same time that she discovers Fahim's body, the suspect heads back to the apartment.
32:45And then she called 911 and we were there within, you know, minutes.
32:51When he returned from the Home Depot, there was already a crime scene set up at the building.
33:04Thank goodness the battery had died because if the cousin had come in to the apartment while he was still doing this,
33:12who knows what could have happened.
33:14Most likely he probably would have killed her too.
33:23Evidence reveals that Tyrese had been following his former boss for some time.
33:29It turns out that he was actually stalking him for a while.
33:33We noticed that Tyrese would go into a doorway across the street into another building from Fahim's building.
33:44He would go right into that doorway inside the building.
33:48And we were wondering why. Why would he do something like this?
33:51What's inside there? You know, does he know someone in the building that's helping him with this crime?
33:55And we found out that he was interested in an apartment over there.
33:59He contacted the real estate agent, had access to a key box, which gave access to the apartment.
34:06And once inside the apartment, we learned that he set up an S-cam to watch the victim across the street in this building to track his movements.
34:14That told us a lot that this guy really planned this out and tried to think of everything.
34:22He thought he was smarter than the police, but we know what we're doing and we don't stop looking for the perpetrator.
34:28The taser manufacturer contacts detectives with details of who bought the weapon based on the tiny paper identifiers found in the elevator.
34:46I could remember being in my office when the detective had gotten the call from the taser company confirming that it was delivered to Tyrese Haspel at his apartment in Brooklyn.
35:00That was the smoking gun. That's the one we needed.
35:03It means everything to the case because we can link him to the crime because we have him on video using the taser that was purchased.
35:11There's no way he could dispute that. There's no feeling like it when you get that one evidence that you're looking for that can really tie him to the case.
35:21It's something that every detective wants.
35:24With a mountain of evidence against Tyrese, it's time to bring him in.
35:41Police track his mobile phone to an apartment he's renting with his girlfriend for $1,000 a night on Fahim's credit card.
35:51After Tyrese had murdered Fahim, what he did was he rented a Airbnb to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.
36:00We have him on video purchasing the balloons for his girlfriend and celebrating her birthday, which is real disturbing.
36:17Police race to the address.
36:19It was July 17th, a Friday morning.
36:28Tyrese Haspel was arrested at the Airbnb on Crosby Street that was being rented by Tyrese on Fahim's dime.
36:44I took control of Tyrese Haspel.
36:53I had brought him up to the second floor of the detective squad and placed him under arrest.
37:01I really, really wanted to know what he was going to say.
37:06I really wanted him to tell me why he would kill somebody in that manner.
37:10But once I read him his rights, he declined to answer any questions and requested an attorney.
37:17So at that point, I couldn't ask him anything else.
37:23Fahim's murder generates huge public interest.
37:27There was so much interest around this case that the NYPD held a press conference about it.
37:33At approximately 845 this morning, 21-year-old Tyrese Haspel was taken into custody.
37:42Mr. Haspel has been charged with murder, too.
37:44And we are working closely with our partners in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
37:49And this is in the middle of COVID.
37:51Having press conferences were reserved for the mayor giving his update on infection rates.
37:56The fact that the NYPD put this press conference together, it showed that clearly they wanted to let the public know we got the guy.
38:09We walked him out, put him into a transport vehicle to take him to Central Brookings.
38:16There was media all over outside here, and they were asking him questions.
38:21Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it?
38:23Once I got him in the car, and I sat next to him, I noticed that his leg started really shaking, like he was really nervous.
38:32He was transported to Manhattan, Central Brookings, and then eventually to Rikers Island.
38:41The best part was informing the family and letting them know that, look, we have him.
38:49He's in our custody, and we're finally going to get justice for Fahim.
38:58I remember hearing an arrest made. I remember getting the notification on my phone.
39:02The headline was, Personal Assistant Arrested in Murder of Tech CEO.
39:08There was a lot of relief after an arrest was made, not only throughout the city, but in particular in that neighborhood.
39:15Finding out the killer's identity, I think it just, there was a feeling of anger and senselessness to it all.
39:27Fahim was such a trusting person, such an open person, and to see that trust betrayed in such a heinous way.
39:37It just, it really boils the blood.
39:40Because of the COVID delays, it delayed a lot of the trials in New York.
39:57During that time, bail was denied for Tyrese.
40:00There was no way they were going to let him out temporarily, even on bail, because of the sorority of the crime.
40:08In May 2022, two years after Fahim Saleh's brutal death, Tyrese Haspel goes on trial for his murder.
40:18There is probably nothing worse for the victim's family after learning of the death of their loved one to have to sit in a courtroom and see the person that they believe is responsible for his death sit before them 50 feet away and hear again about the brutality that occurred against their loved one.
40:38The prosecutor offered Tyrese 33 and a half years for this crime, and he had the goal to turn it down and go to trial.
40:53With all the evidence that we had, I was really surprised that his attorney didn't advise him to take the plea deal that was offered to him.
41:00But this is the attitude he had. He still thought he was smarter than everyone else.
41:05You know, and he took his chances.
41:09The jury takes less than a day to reach their verdict.
41:13The evidence against Tyrese Haspel in the murder of Fahim Saleh was absolutely overwhelming, from video, to forensics, to circumstantial evidence, to motive.
41:29Every single piece of the puzzle pointed directly to this individual being the person responsible for his death.
41:38Tyrese Haspel was found guilty for the murder of Fahim.
41:43He was also found guilty for grand larceny, burglary, and he was required to repay the money that he stole from Fahim.
41:52And he was eventually sentenced to 40 years to life.
42:02To see Tyrese not admit to it, even after he was found guilty, you know, there's got to be a point where you got to make the family feel better by saying, I'm sorry.
42:15But he never said, I'm sorry.
42:18I don't think he was remorseful.
42:22I think he was just upset that he got caught.
42:26He's evil.
42:28A terrible person.
42:30But somebody like this doesn't deserve to be on the streets.
42:32I don't think he showed any remorse during the trial.
42:41He still thought he was smarter than anyone else.
42:45But the best part was when he was sentenced at the end.
42:49Because I was able to stand with the family and see him get justice for what he did.
42:53It was very emotional that day.
43:12His younger sister was there, his mother and his father.
43:17Fahim's father had made a statement.
43:23I remember him asking him, why would you kill my son?
43:28What was it so bad that he did to you?
43:31All he did was help you, you know, and take care of you.
43:35It broke my heart, you know.
43:38The motive, it seems, was money.
43:41What really stood out for me was the incredible greed that brought him to commit this just absolutely, absolutely horrific act.
43:56Tyrese was taking money out of accounts behind Fahim's back to create this ridiculous lifestyle for him and his girlfriend.
44:04To the point that he could get her these lavish gifts and throw over the top parties for her.
44:11He was just living a lie.
44:16I believe that Tyrese realized that he couldn't pay Fahim back all the money that he had stolen from him.
44:24So I believe he decided if he killed him, he doesn't have to pay the money back.
44:28Fahim didn't deserve this.
44:36He had so much to offer, he had so much left to give the world.
44:43And they say it gets easier as the days and years go by.
44:49It does not.
44:51It does not.
44:52Fahim should be remembered as someone who cared, someone who was kind, someone who was driven, someone who wanted to help.
45:04He helped these communities, whether it was in Bangladesh or Nigeria.
45:09He had so much more to offer.
45:11We had no idea what he could have done.
45:13He could have been on the brink of changing something on a global scale, but we won't find out now.
45:20I don't know how words like closure can really be applied here.
45:26All I can really say is one madman was taken off the streets and we lost a great light in the world.
45:37Ultimately, I think Fahim should be remembered as a shining star, a bright light, someone whose aura just radiated infectious positivity.
45:50How I try to honor him is just pay it forward and try to ask, what would Fahim do?
45:57What would Fahim do?
45:58What would Fahim do?
45:59What would Fahim do?
46:05Either way or also keep Fahim going to hide it.
46:07It was a miracle.
46:09He wanted tofehlticove a life or home already.
