00:00:05Daughter of Eg de Mauro and Tony Mano, Celeste Mano was born on November 22, 1996, in Catania, in

00:00:14Italy.

00:00:16His early years were spent in Europe, until, in search of new opportunities, his family decided to move to...

00:00:23Melbourne, Australia.

00:00:24It was in this new home that Celeste built her life, always driven by big dreams and a heart full of...

00:00:33compassion.

00:00:34From the moment she was born, she proved to be affectionate and was a very playful child.

00:00:40She had an older half-brother named Jaden.

00:00:44At the age of four, she became an older sister when her mother gave birth to her little brother, Alessandro.

00:00:51Family was one of the most important things to her, as she was very close to everyone.

00:00:58Her friends would say how wonderful and kind Celeste was.

00:01:02She would do anything to make someone feel included, especially if she saw that person alone.

00:01:09She attended high school at Labor Secondary College, where she was a cheerleader.

00:01:14After graduating in 2015, Celeste enrolled at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where she chose to study Criminology and Psychology.

00:01:25His curiosity about the human mind was immense.

00:01:28She dreamed of helping people by trying to understand how they think, feel, and behave.

00:01:36Upon completing her studies, Celeste got a job at a call center located in New Park, a suburb of Melbourne.

00:01:45Her friendliness, empathy, and natural leadership quickly set her apart, allowing her to rise professionally until she reached the position of

00:01:56Team leader.

00:01:57It was in this work environment that Celeste met Cris Ridsdale.

00:02:03The connection between them was immediate, and a romance soon blossomed.

00:02:09Cris frequently expressed his admiration for her, saying that Celeste was a true gem.

00:02:15With her radiant smile and contagious energy, Celeste had the gift of making the atmosphere around her lighter.

00:02:24and welcoming.

00:02:25As mentioned before, during her youth she had been a cheerleader and her passion for dance remained alive in

00:02:34your life.

00:02:35However, what truly defined Celeste was her genuine and unwavering kindness.

00:02:41His family was the center of his world, especially the deep bond he shared with his mother, Ege.

00:02:48After college, Celeste moved back in with her mother.

00:02:53Even as an adult, she and Ege maintained a special nightly ritual.

00:02:59Every night, Ege would tuck her into bed and together they would talk about the day that had passed.

00:03:06That was the kind of relationship they had, marked by a lot of love, closeness, and trust.

00:03:14Celeste had many reasons to feel excited about the future.

00:03:18She was about to celebrate her twenty-fourth birthday and was thoroughly enjoying the little joys of life.

00:03:27On November 14, 2020, Celeste and Cris went to brunch at a rooftop bar.

00:03:34Celebrating the end of lockdown restrictions.

00:03:38They took pictures smiling together and Celeste, in a moment of happiness,

00:03:42She made her relationship official on Instagram with a joyful post.

00:03:48Sunday, November 15th, passed peacefully.

00:03:53Celeste spent the day relaxing at home, planning her birthday party with her mother and watching a movie.

00:04:01That night, the usual ritual before going to sleep was repeated.

00:04:06Egg told his daughter that he loved her.

00:04:08I love you more.

00:04:10"Good evening," Celeste replied.

00:04:13And those were his last words.

00:04:17In the early morning hours of November 16th, around 4:10 AM,

00:04:23The sound of breaking glass shattered the silence of the house.

00:04:27Startled, Egg woke up in a panic and ran to her daughter's room.

00:04:32The scene he encountered looked like a nightmare.

00:04:36Celeste lay motionless on the bed, with blood everywhere and pieces of glass scattered on the floor.

00:04:46Desperate, Egg ran to Celeste and tried to wake her up, but was unsuccessful.

00:04:52A few hours earlier, they had been laughing together.

00:04:55Now, her daughter was no longer alive.

00:04:59Emergency services arrived quickly, but it was too late.

00:05:05Celeste Mano had been brutally murdered.

00:05:09Devastated by grief, Egg made a harrowing accusation on the spot.

00:05:14And he killed her.

00:05:16The autopsy revealed that Celeste was stabbed 23 times.

00:05:21mainly on the chest, arms and abdomen.

00:05:24According to police, the attack lasted about two minutes.

00:05:29Nevertheless, Egg acted almost immediately upon hearing the sound of breaking glass.

00:05:36The house was small, and by the time she arrived, the assailant had already disappeared.

00:05:42The detectives took Egg's words seriously and asked her who she was referring to when she said "he to".

00:05:49He killed.

00:05:51Her response revealed a dark chapter that the authorities had left unresolved.

00:05:57Celeste and Egg had already contacted the police before.

00:06:01They had expressed their concerns, but their warnings were not taken seriously.

00:06:08As investigators deepened their investigation,

00:06:12They discovered the name of a man who had previously worked with Celeste at the call center.

00:06:19Luei Saco

00:06:22Born in Iraq in 1984 into a Christian family, Luei was the eldest of five siblings.

00:06:31In 1992, when he was eight years old, his family received permission to enter Australia as humanitarian refugees.

00:06:40During his childhood, Luei was seen as a quiet, kind, and somewhat lonely boy.

00:06:48However, behind that reserved appearance, a dangerous obsession was growing.

00:06:54An obsession that, years later, would prove fatal.

00:06:59From a very young age, Luei showed a preference for solitude.

00:07:04While other children played outdoors and formed friendships,

00:07:10Luei spent most of his time locked in his room, isolated from everyone around him.

00:07:16Over the years, this distance deepened.

00:07:20By the time Luei arrived at college, she had already built her own world—a quiet, closed-off, and emotionally distant one.

00:07:29He never got involved in a romantic relationship.

00:07:32Increasingly withdrawn and socially disconnected, Luei devoted his days to solitude.

00:07:40After completing his studies, he found it difficult to keep a job, remaining unemployed for several years.

00:07:48This situation changed in April 2018, when he got a job at a call center located in New Park.

00:07:56The same place where Celeste was already recognized as a respected team leader.

00:08:02Initially, the relationship between Luei and Celeste was strictly professional, without any abnormalities.

00:08:11However, in June 2019, everything started to change.

00:08:16Luei was fired for poor performance and, on his last day of work,

00:08:21Celeste was assigned the task of escorting him to the exit, a routine procedure.

00:08:27She handled the situation professionally, even offering a handshake as a gesture of courtesy.

00:08:34Luei's reaction, however, was disturbing.

00:08:38Instead of returning the handshake, he leaned in and kissed Celeste on the cheek.

00:08:45This gesture, besides being unexpected and inappropriate, left Celeste deeply uncomfortable.

00:08:52Later that same day, she told her mother what had happened.

00:08:58Trying to reassure her, Egg suggested that it might have just been an awkward goodbye.

00:09:04The fruit of a harmless passion.

00:09:07But it wasn't something harmless.

00:09:09In fact, that was just the beginning.

00:09:14Shortly after being fired, Luei began messaging Celeste on Instagram.

00:09:21From the start, the tone was intense.

00:09:24He poured out his feelings, saying he couldn't stop thinking about her.

00:09:29who couldn't eat or sleep.

00:09:32He desperately asked if she felt the same way.

00:09:37Celeste responded kindly, but was clear.

00:09:40He thanked them for the compliments and politely explained that he wasn't interested.

00:09:46and then blocked Luei.

00:09:48However, he did not accept the rejection.

00:09:52Determined to stay in touch, Luei started creating fake profiles on Instagram.

00:09:57The messages that once seemed like mere displays of passion,

00:10:02They quickly became disturbing.

00:10:06The texts took on an explicit, unsettling, and increasingly obsessive tone.

00:10:12One message in particular left Celeste deeply frightened.

00:10:18Celeste, if you had my body for a day, what would you do with me?

00:10:24Faced with this, Celeste decided to respond again, this time firmly.

00:10:30Stop contacting me.

00:10:32This is making me very uncomfortable.

00:10:35Please respect my request and stop.

00:10:39Even with the clear request, Luei's obsession only grew.

00:10:43He created new fake profiles and sent a barrage of messages.

00:10:48And Celeste's mental health began to be affected.

00:10:53Sleeping became a challenge, and anxiety began to dominate her daily life.

00:10:58Her boyfriend and her mother noticed how devastating the situation was.

00:11:04Over time, the tone of Luei's messages also changed.

00:11:09His last message carried an even darker weight.

00:11:14My impression of you has changed.

00:11:17You are just like everyone else.

00:11:20I will dedicate every drop of my energy to proving my worth to the world.

00:11:25That's my promise to you.

00:11:28This is my last message.

00:11:30That situation no longer seemed to be just a romantic infatuation.

00:11:35It was a threat.

00:11:38After months of being tormented, Celeste and Egg decided to go to the police.

00:11:44They told the police everything.

00:11:47Even though he was blocked, Luei kept trying to get in touch.

00:11:51how he was being pursued and how Celeste feared for her own life.

00:11:56However, the police said they couldn't do anything.

00:12:01According to them, Luei had not made any direct threats, nor had he caused any physical harm.

00:12:08At least, not yet.

00:12:10No police report was filed.

00:12:13Not even his name was written down.

00:12:16The only guidance they gave was

00:12:22This response, besides being irresponsible, was devastating for the mother and daughter.

00:12:28The system that was supposed to protect them simply ignored them.

00:12:34Without legal support, Celeste had no alternative but to continue facing the harassment.

00:12:41Over the next six months, Luei's behavior worsened even further.

00:12:48He started showing up outside the place where she worked.

00:12:53I kept watching, following his every move.

00:12:57He even created more than 140 fake profiles to try and stay in contact with her.

00:13:04And then, the worst happened.

00:13:08He found out where Celeste lived.

00:13:10I had followed her all the way home.

00:13:14Celeste even confided in a coworker,

00:13:17saying that she no longer felt safe.

00:13:20She was certain that Luei would kill her.

00:13:24And, tragically, his intuition was right.

00:13:28Celeste's fear had become unbearable.

00:13:32It was no longer just anxiety.

00:13:34She felt that time was running out.

00:13:38Driven by this growing fear,

00:13:40Celeste and her mother decided to return to the police station.

00:13:44hoping that, this time, someone would listen to them.

00:13:47And finally, they found a police officer who took them seriously.

00:13:51He matched the seriousness of the situation.

00:13:54and instructed the two to request an intervention order.

00:13:58for personal protection against Luei Saco.

00:14:01Mother and daughter acted quickly to formalize the request and succeeded.

00:14:07To their surprise, Luei challenged the order in court.

00:14:11However, the judge rejected their arguments.

00:14:15For the first time in several months,

00:14:17Celeste experienced a small feeling of relief.

00:14:21Perhaps now, at last, I could breathe a little more easily again.

00:14:26But this fragile peace was short-lived.

00:14:32Just three months before the tragic night,

00:14:35on August 15, 2020,

00:14:38Luei started bothering her again.

00:14:40not personally,

00:14:41but through a three-page handwritten letter.

00:14:45The letter contains,

00:14:46He begged Celeste to withdraw the order.

00:14:50He promised that if she did that,

00:14:53He would disappear from her life forever.

00:14:56At the end of the message,

00:14:58drew a smiling face,

00:15:00a distorted and disturbing gesture

00:15:03which made that communication even more frightening.

00:15:06What Luei didn't realize,

00:15:09or preferred to ignore it,

00:15:11I meant sending that letter.

00:15:12It directly violated the established protection order.

00:15:16Knowing this,

00:15:18Celeste did not hesitate and immediately reported the rape.

00:15:22This time, the police acted.

00:15:26At the end of August 2020,

00:15:28Luei was arrested for violating the restraining order.

00:15:32For a brief moment,

00:15:33It seemed that the justice system

00:15:35Finally, it was fulfilling its role.

00:15:38But the next day,

00:15:40He was released.

00:15:42Now,

00:15:43He wasn't just obsessed.

00:15:45I was furious.

00:15:48Luei couldn't accept it.

00:15:50that Celeste had made the decision to denounce him.

00:15:53In his distorted mind,

00:15:55He believed she owed him something.

00:15:58that she belonged to him.

00:16:00After being released,

00:16:02Luei resumed the harassment with even greater intensity.

00:16:06His last message to Celeste

00:16:08It was a mixture of despair and threat.

00:16:10I know you rejected me.

00:16:13I understood.

00:16:14I'm like trash to you.

00:16:17I understood.

00:16:18I know you hate me.

00:16:20I understood.

00:16:21Around that time,

00:16:23He entered a local store.

00:16:25and he bought a hammer and a knife.

00:16:28After that,

00:16:29It simply disappeared.

00:16:33For almost three months,

00:16:35Celeste received no more messages.

00:16:37There were no appearances.

00:16:39No signal.

00:16:40It seemed like a nightmare,

00:16:42anyway,

00:16:43It had come to an end.

00:16:45But in reality,

00:16:46Luei had not given up.

00:16:48He had simply fallen silent.

00:16:50because he was planning something sinister.

00:16:55On November 14, 2020,

00:16:58Celeste shared a smiling photo.

00:17:00from a brunch she had with her boyfriend, Cris.

00:17:03The image depicted a moment of happiness.

00:17:06something totally common

00:17:08for a young woman in love.

00:17:10However,

00:17:11That photo reignited something dangerous.

00:17:15Luei had never stopped watching her.

00:17:18He continued to follow along.

00:17:19each of her posts on Instagram.

00:17:21And upon encountering that image,

00:17:24His obsession intensified again.

00:17:27And most dangerous of all,

00:17:29He knew where Celeste lived.

00:17:31Later,

00:17:32the investigators would believe

00:17:34that he even managed to map

00:17:36the entire floor plan of the residence

00:17:37using visual details

00:17:39extracted from her posts.

00:17:42Like this,

00:17:43he knew exactly

00:17:44which window overlooked

00:17:46to Celeste's room.

00:17:49In the early morning hours

00:17:51November 16, 2020

00:17:54Luei climbed the fence of the pintal.

00:17:56from the Mano family's house.

00:17:58In one hand,

00:17:59He was carrying the hammer.

00:18:01which I had bought months before.

00:18:03Shortly after four in the morning,

00:18:06He broke the window.

00:18:07from Celeste's room.

00:18:08The noise woke Egg up immediately.

00:18:12Without wasting any time,

00:18:13She ran to her daughter's room.

00:18:15But when it arrived,

00:18:17Luei had already invaded the place.

00:18:19and a brutal attack began.

00:18:21and out of control.

00:18:23Armed with a knife,

00:18:24He delivered 23 blows to Celeste.

00:18:28affecting mainly the chest,

00:18:30The abdomen and arms.

00:18:32Later,

00:18:33the researchers calculated

00:18:35that the whole attack

00:18:36It lasted less than two minutes.

00:18:39Celeste did not have

00:18:40any chance of defense.

00:18:43Luei fled the crime scene.

00:18:45along the same path

00:18:46where did he enter,

00:18:47exiting through the broken window

00:18:49and jumping over the fence again.

00:18:52Later,

00:18:52were found

00:18:53traces of blood

00:18:55both at the window

00:18:56as for the fence.

00:18:57A short time later,

00:18:59a security camera

00:19:00from a neighbor

00:19:01registered a car

00:19:02taking off at high speed.

00:19:04The vehicle was subsequently

00:19:07identified with the being of Luei.

00:19:08When the police arrived at the scene,

00:19:11The scene was one of pure horror.

00:19:13While talking to Egg

00:19:15and discover the history

00:19:17one year of harassment,

00:19:18the scale of the tragedy

00:19:20It became even more evident.

00:19:22But it wasn't necessary.

00:19:23to go in search of Luei.

00:19:25He turned himself in.

00:19:27With his hand bleeding,

00:19:28He entered calmly.

00:19:30at a police station

00:19:31and told the police officer

00:19:32She is dead.

00:19:34She is dead.

00:19:35Go there and see.

00:19:36You know what happened.

00:19:38It's your fault.

00:19:40And, in a way,

00:19:42It really was.

00:19:43Right away,

00:19:44Luei tried to provoke the police officer.

00:19:46as if he wanted to force him

00:19:48shooting at him

00:19:49in a desperate attempt

00:19:51to end there

00:19:52with their own lives.

00:19:53However,

00:19:54He was restrained.

00:19:55and taken into custody.

00:19:58After Luei's arrest,

00:20:00Your cell phone was seized.

00:20:01and carefully analyzed.

00:20:03What the authorities found

00:20:05They revealed the size.

00:22:12mainly

00:22:12in relation to

00:22:13to women,

00:22:14even inside

00:22:19they didn't point

00:22:19towards insanity,

00:22:21but for the pure

00:22:22evil.

00:22:23Louie

00:22:23I wasn't

00:22:24lost

00:22:24in delirium,

00:22:25he was moved

00:22:29In your mind

00:22:30distorted

00:22:31and sick,

00:22:32Celeste Mano

00:22:33I owed him love.

00:22:34and the refusal

00:22:36for him

00:22:36the justification

00:22:38to remove

00:22:38your life.

00:22:40On the day

00:23:04For family members

00:23:06of Celeste,

00:23:06the sentence

00:23:07It was unfair.

00:23:09For Egg,

00:23:10Celeste's mother,

00:23:11the decision

00:23:11represented

00:23:12a feeling

00:23:13bitter

00:23:13of injustice.

00:23:15It was like

00:23:16if the system

00:23:16legal

00:23:17had granted

00:23:18Louie,

00:23:19compassion

00:23:20that had never

00:23:28and not even when

00:23:31They were ignored.

00:23:33The funeral

00:23:35more than 100 people,

00:23:37among friends,

00:23:38family

00:23:39and members

00:23:39from the community,

00:23:40all united

00:23:41through pain

00:23:42of losing

00:23:43a woman

00:23:43whose life

00:23:44it was interrupted

00:23:45early

00:23:47and tragic.

00:23:48Today,

00:23:49Egg coexists

00:23:50daily

00:23:50with the pain

00:23:51of that

00:23:52you may witness,

00:23:54see your daughter

00:23:58to the altar

00:23:58or perform

00:23:59the dream

00:24:00of being a mother.

00:24:02Jaden and Alessandro,

00:24:04Celeste's siblings,

00:24:05regret

00:24:08filled in

00:24:09your days

00:24:09with joy,

00:24:10laughter

00:24:11and hope.

00:24:13This light

00:24:14that before

00:24:14illuminated

00:24:15their lives,

00:24:16It's gone now.

00:24:18However,

00:24:19in the middle

00:24:20into the darkness,

00:24:21Egg found

00:24:22a purpose.

00:24:23After the trial,

00:24:25she started

00:24:26a campaign

00:24:27public demanding

00:24:28stricter laws

00:24:29against stalking

00:24:30and the implementation

00:24:31mandatory

00:24:32monitoring

00:24:34for individuals

00:24:35that they are

00:24:36under order

00:24:37intervention

00:24:38security.

00:24:40Egg believes,

00:24:41with all my strength

00:24:42from your heart,

00:24:43that Celeste

00:24:44could still

00:24:45to be alive

00:24:45if these measures

00:24:47protection

00:24:47already existed.

00:24:48Given this

00:24:49conviction,

00:24:50made a promise

00:24:51daughter.

00:24:52I would never leave.

00:24:53to fight.

00:24:54Not only

00:24:55by Celeste,

00:24:56but for all

00:24:57future victims

00:24:59whose signs

00:25:00alert

00:25:00they could do otherwise

00:25:01way to be ignored.

00:25:04The story

00:25:06of Celeste

00:25:06human

00:25:06goes beyond

00:25:07of a tragedy.

00:25:08It's a real one.

00:25:09called

00:25:10for action.

00:25:11Heavenly

00:25:12did everything

00:25:12what should

00:25:13to be done.

00:25:14Blocked

00:25:15your pursuer,

00:25:16He asked for help.

00:25:17and recorded

00:25:17complaints.

00:25:18Even so,

00:25:19the system

00:25:20He failed her.

00:25:21repeatedly.

00:25:23Many victims

00:25:24of pursuit

00:25:25They never end

00:25:26reporting.

00:25:27Many believe

00:25:28that will not change.

00:25:30And unfortunately,

00:25:31most of the time,

00:25:33They are right.

00:25:34While

00:25:35real reforms

00:25:36are not

00:25:36implemented,

00:25:37these losses

00:25:38that could be

00:25:39avoided

00:25:40They will continue to happen.

00:25:41The chase

00:25:43It's still a crime.

00:25:44often

00:25:45minimized,

00:25:46until it is

00:25:46too late.

00:25:48The absence

00:25:49of Celeste

00:25:49it is felt

00:25:50daily

00:25:51for his family.

00:25:53that she

00:25:53used to

00:25:53to fill

00:25:54with her smile

00:25:55now it has become

00:25:56an environment

00:25:56of profound sadness.

00:26:00kind,

00:26:01intelligent

00:26:01and loving

00:26:03by someone

00:26:04who refused

00:26:05to accept

00:26:05no

00:26:06as an answer.

00:26:12out of necessity

00:26:14urgent

00:26:14of changes.

00:31:30He had also disappeared.

00:31:32When the family

00:31:33Murray notified

00:31:34security

00:31:35from the campus

00:31:36Regarding the disappearance,

00:31:37the reaction

00:31:38It was disappointing.

00:31:39The agents

00:31:40minimized

00:31:41the situation,

00:31:42suggesting

00:31:43that Emily

00:31:43probably

00:31:44had left

00:31:45with a boyfriend

00:31:46and would return soon.

00:31:48But their relatives

00:31:49they knew

00:31:50that it

00:31:50It was unlikely.

00:31:51Emily

00:31:52I would never leave.

00:31:53that way

00:31:53without telling anyone.

00:31:55As time goes by

00:31:5624 hours

00:31:57without any sign

00:31:58her,

00:31:59the Murrays

00:31:59they searched

00:32:00The local police.

00:32:02To his frustration,

00:32:04the officers

00:32:05showed

00:32:05the same lack

00:32:06urgent

00:32:07of the agents

00:32:08from the campus,

00:32:09raising the hypothesis

00:32:10that the young woman

00:32:11could have done

00:32:12a sudden trip.

00:32:14Only

00:32:15after a search

00:32:15in his dormitory,

00:32:17where they found

00:32:18your documents

00:32:18of identity,

00:32:19bank cards

00:32:20and belongings intact,

00:32:22That's when they started

00:32:23to consider

00:32:23the case

00:32:24with seriousness

00:32:25necessary.

00:32:27The investigations

00:32:28then they focused

00:32:29last place

00:32:30where Emily

00:32:31out of sight,

00:32:32Pirates Cove.

00:32:34Witnesses

00:32:35confirmed

00:32:36that she had

00:32:36finished

00:32:37your work schedule

00:32:38and helped

00:32:39closing

00:32:39the establishment,

00:32:40leaving around

00:32:41half past two

00:32:42in the morning.

00:32:43From that moment on,

00:32:45although,

00:32:45It was as if it had

00:32:46missing

00:32:47Without leaving a trace.

00:32:50At night

00:32:51November 2nd

00:32:52of 2000,

00:32:53Emily Murray

00:32:54finished his last shift

00:32:55in Pirates Cove,

00:32:57the restaurant

00:32:57where there was

00:32:58worked

00:32:59for three years.

00:33:01Among his colleagues

00:33:02work

00:33:02that night

00:33:03Olivia was there,

00:33:04a waitress,

00:33:05and David,

00:33:06who worked

00:33:07as a bartender.

00:33:08Together,

00:33:09they organized

00:33:10and cleaned

00:33:11the restaurant,

00:33:12finishing the tasks

00:33:13around

00:33:14two forty-five

00:33:15in the early morning.

00:33:17The last employee

00:33:18leaving

00:33:19It was Gregory McKnight,

00:33:21a cook

00:33:2124 years old

00:33:23that locked

00:33:23the place

00:33:24at three fifteen

00:33:25in the morning.

00:33:26Accordingly

00:33:27with everyone

00:33:28who saw her

00:33:29that night,

00:33:30Emily was

00:33:30in a good mood.

00:33:31She showed herself

00:33:33cheerful and friendly,

00:33:34without demonstrating

00:33:35signs of concern

00:33:36or behaviors

00:33:38unusual.

00:33:39Before leaving,

00:33:40he mentioned to his colleagues

00:33:42that would go straight

00:33:43for your dorm room

00:33:44to rest

00:33:45before classes

00:33:46the following morning.

00:33:48Nothing indicated

00:33:49that there was

00:33:50other plans

00:33:50or any situation

00:33:52Out of the ordinary.

00:33:54Just another night

00:33:55common

00:33:56after a tone

00:33:57busy.

00:33:58During the investigations,

00:34:00the detectives

00:34:01they analyzed

00:34:02meticulously

00:34:03Emily's dorm room

00:34:04in search of clues

00:34:05and that's it

00:34:06finding

00:34:07your personal diary.

00:34:09Full

00:34:10of reflections

00:34:11deep,

00:34:12his writings

00:34:12revealed

00:34:13one facet

00:34:14more complex

00:34:14of the young woman.

00:34:16Although it was known

00:34:17because of his optimism

00:34:18and compassion,

00:34:19your words

00:34:20they showed

00:34:20a fight

00:34:21Silent interior.

00:34:24Emily lived

00:34:24facing

00:34:25a battle

00:34:26against depression,

00:34:28carrying the weight

00:34:28of injustices

00:34:29who was witnessing

00:34:31through its

00:34:32humanitarian work.

00:34:33She felt

00:34:34deeply

00:34:35the pain of others

00:34:36and had difficulties

00:34:37to distance oneself

00:34:38of suffering

00:34:39that I saw

00:34:40around you.

00:34:41Despite

00:34:42from his outbursts,

00:34:43there was

00:34:44no mention

00:34:45to self-harm

00:34:46or attitudes

00:34:47drastic.

00:34:48Even so,

00:34:49at the beginning

00:34:50from the investigations,

00:34:52the authorities

00:34:53they considered

00:34:53the hypothesis

00:34:54that Emily

00:34:55could have decided

00:34:56abandon

00:34:57your life

00:34:58willingly

00:34:58own.

00:34:59However,

00:35:01this theory

00:35:01was promptly

00:35:02refuted

00:35:03by those

00:35:03who knew her

00:35:04good.

00:35:05Faith

00:35:06it was one of the pillars

00:35:07of your identity

00:35:09and friends

00:35:09and family

00:35:10they believed

00:35:11firmly

00:35:12that she never

00:35:13would abandon

00:35:13your plans

00:35:14for the future.

00:35:16Your diary

00:35:17reflected

00:35:17ambitions

00:35:18of a lifetime

00:35:19long and full,

00:35:20a life

00:35:21which included

00:35:21love,

00:35:22family

00:35:22and a purpose

00:35:24significant.

00:35:26Like the car

00:35:27by Emily

00:35:27there was also

00:35:28missing,

00:35:29the authorities

00:35:30they considered

00:35:31the possibility

00:35:32that she

00:35:32had left

00:35:33of their own free will,

00:35:35perhaps needing

00:35:36of a time

00:35:37Something to think about.

00:35:39Recently,

00:35:40Emily had

00:35:40passed through a

00:35:42relationship breakup

00:35:43and also

00:35:43I had asked

00:35:44resignation

00:35:45from work.

00:35:46The first

00:35:47to be

00:35:47investigated

00:35:48It was her ex-boyfriend.

00:35:50by Emily,

00:35:50a young man

00:35:51called Adam.

00:35:52They kept

00:35:53a relationship

00:35:54troubled

00:35:55more than a year ago

00:35:56with several

00:35:57Back and forth.

00:35:58This time,

00:35:59Emily had

00:36:00decided

00:36:01place a period

00:36:02final definitive

00:36:03in the relationship.

00:36:04According to Adam,

00:36:06the last conversation

00:36:07between them

00:36:07had been

00:36:08calm

00:36:09and he had

00:36:10accepted

00:36:10the end

00:36:11dating

00:36:11without conflict.

00:36:13Despite that,

00:36:14the detectives

00:36:15they needed

00:36:16to be sure.

00:36:17During the

00:36:18interrogation,

00:36:19Adam demonstrated

00:36:20to be visibly

00:36:22shaken

00:36:22with the disappearance

00:36:23Emily's.

00:36:25He collaborated.

00:36:26fully

00:36:27with the investigation,

00:36:28providing details

00:36:29about your steps

00:36:30at night

00:36:31in which Emily

00:36:31it disappeared.

00:36:32Adam told

00:36:33that together

00:36:34with your colleague

00:36:35bedroom

00:36:35had passed

00:36:37quickly

00:36:37by the bar

00:36:38Pirates Cove

00:36:39around

00:36:40midnight,

00:36:41but soon

00:36:41returned

00:36:42to the dormitory.

00:36:44Other students

00:36:45confirmed

00:36:46having seen them

00:36:46in the room

00:36:47along

00:36:47of the night,

00:36:48which guaranteed

00:36:49Adam

00:36:49an alibi

00:36:50solid.

00:36:51Without any

00:36:52evidence

00:36:53that would connect him

00:36:54to disappearance

00:36:55by Emily,

00:36:55It was discarded.

00:36:56as a suspect.

00:36:58With Adam

00:36:59discarded

00:36:59as a suspect,

00:37:00the detectives

00:37:01They returned

00:37:02your attention

00:37:02to the location

00:37:03work

00:37:04Emily's.

00:37:05A cook

00:37:06from Pirates Cove

00:37:07revealed that David,

00:37:09the bartender

00:37:09who worked

00:37:10with Emily

00:37:11that night,

00:37:12already

00:37:13demonstrated

00:37:13interest

00:37:14romantic

00:37:15by her.

00:37:16However,

00:37:17Emily Murray

00:37:18never matched

00:37:19to those feelings.

00:37:21When questioned,

00:37:22David admitted

00:37:23that in the past

00:37:24had invited

00:37:25Emily to leave,

00:37:27but he assured

00:37:28who accepted

00:37:29the refusal

00:37:29her without resentment.

00:37:31He stated

00:37:32that the relationship

00:37:33between the two

00:37:33He remained cordial.

00:37:34and strictly

00:37:35professional.

00:37:37Furthermore,

00:37:38your alibi

00:37:39It was solid.

00:37:40Your father

00:37:41he searched for him

00:37:42at work

00:37:42that night

00:37:43and together

00:37:44they traveled

00:37:45immediately

00:37:46to another city

00:37:47where they participated

00:37:49of the wedding

00:37:49of her sister.

00:37:51The truth

00:37:52of history

00:37:53It was confirmed.

00:37:54eliminating David

00:37:55from the list

00:37:55of suspects.

00:37:58During the interviews

00:37:59with colleagues

00:38:00work

00:38:00by Emily,

00:38:01a new name

00:38:02It caught my attention.

00:38:03Dave

00:38:04the cook

00:38:06from the restaurant.

00:38:07Known

00:38:08because of their behavior

00:38:10socially

00:38:10clumsy

00:38:11and by doing

00:38:12comments

00:38:13inadequate

00:38:14for the female employees,

00:38:16Dave

00:38:16had the reputation

00:38:17to react badly

00:38:18to rejection.

00:38:20Several waitresses

00:38:21They had already reported it.

00:38:22uncomfortable encounters

00:38:24with him

00:38:24and Emily Murray

00:38:25It was not an exception.

00:38:28The suspicions

00:38:29increased

00:38:29when Dave

00:38:30left quickly

00:38:31The restaurant.

00:38:32just four days

00:38:34after the disappearance

00:38:35by Emily,

00:38:36He was fired.

00:38:37after an argument

00:38:38heated

00:38:39at work.

00:38:41The detectives

00:38:41They acted quickly.

00:38:43to locate it.

00:38:45When questioned,

00:38:46the former cook

00:38:47showed surprise

00:38:49because it is being

00:38:49considered a suspect.

00:38:52He presented

00:38:53an alibi

00:38:53stating that

00:38:54at night

00:38:55of disappearance

00:38:55by Emily

00:38:56I was at a show

00:38:57in a nearby city.

00:39:00friends confirmed

00:39:01your presence

00:39:02at the event

00:39:02and receipts

00:39:03entry

00:39:04corroborated

00:39:05your version.

00:39:06Without evidence

00:39:07that they would connect him

00:39:08to the case,

00:39:09the investigators

00:39:09were forced

00:39:10to discard it

00:39:11from the list

00:39:12of suspects.

00:39:13With Dave

00:39:14and Kuhn

00:39:14Beyond suspicion,

00:39:16the investigation

00:39:17about the disappearance

00:39:18by Emily Murray

00:39:19It lost strength.

00:39:21Without new leads,

00:39:22the weeks

00:39:23they passed

00:39:23and hope

00:39:24of answers

00:39:25It began to dissipate.

00:39:27However,

00:39:28information

00:39:29unexpected

00:39:30came to light,

00:39:31something that would change

00:39:33completely

00:39:33the direction

00:39:34of the case.

00:39:36Two months

00:39:37before

00:39:37disappearance

00:39:38by Emily Murray,

00:39:39an accident

00:39:40apparently

00:39:41unimportant

00:39:42it happened

00:39:42in the surroundings

00:39:43by Harrison,

00:39:44a small

00:39:45city in Ohio.

00:39:46On October 1st

00:39:48of 2000,

00:39:49Ronaldo Hoppix

00:39:50I was driving home

00:39:51when an old man

00:39:52buique invaded

00:39:53abruptly

00:39:54your clue,

00:39:55resulting

00:39:56in a collision.

00:39:57Upon exiting the car

00:39:59to evaluate

00:40:00the damage,

00:40:00Hoppix realized

00:40:01something in common.

00:40:03With the impact,

00:40:04the trunk

00:40:05from the other vehicle

00:40:06It opened,

00:40:07revealing

00:40:07a weapon

00:40:08fire

00:40:09inside.

00:40:11Scared

00:40:12with the discovery,

00:40:13he did not hesitate

00:40:14in activating

00:40:14The police.

00:40:16The driver

00:40:16from the bouquet

00:40:17He was arrested,

00:40:18the weapon

00:40:19was seized,

00:40:20but,

00:40:20surprisingly,

00:40:21the authorities

00:40:22they left him

00:40:23to leave.

00:40:24at that moment,

00:40:25the incident

00:40:26It seemed irrelevant.

00:40:28That changed

00:40:29on December 9th

00:40:30of 2000,

00:40:31more than a month

00:40:32after the disappearance

00:40:33Emily's.

00:40:35On that day,

00:40:36the same driver

00:40:37He was arrested.

00:40:37for theft.

00:40:39The police

00:40:40was sent

00:40:40even your trailer

00:40:41isolated

00:40:42to recover

00:40:43stolen goods,

00:40:44But what did they find?

00:40:45surpassed

00:40:46any expectations.

00:40:49Parked

00:40:49behind the trailer,

00:40:50There was a Subaru.

00:40:52Listen in the dark.

00:40:53When the agents

00:40:54They checked the license plate.

00:40:55of the vehicle,

00:40:56They made a discovery.

00:40:58Terrifying.

00:40:59It was the car

00:41:00by Emily Murray.

00:41:02With this discovery,

00:41:04the investigators

00:41:05They returned

00:41:06all your attention

00:41:07for the owner

00:41:07from the trailer.

00:41:09Certain

00:41:09to discover

00:41:10the truth

00:41:11about what

00:41:11It really happened.

00:41:12with Emily,

00:41:13the authorities

00:41:14They succeeded.

00:41:15a warrant

00:41:15search

00:41:16and they prepared themselves

00:41:17to search

00:41:18the place

00:41:18in search

00:41:19of answers.

00:41:21The main

00:41:22suspect

00:41:22it wasn't

00:41:23a stranger

00:41:23for them,

00:41:25Gregory McKnight,

00:41:26a cook

00:41:2724 years old

00:41:28who worked

00:41:29No Pirates Cove.

00:41:30He had been

00:41:31one of the last

00:41:34but he succeeded

00:41:35divert any

00:41:36suspicious in suggesting,

00:41:37in a subtle way,

00:41:39that your colleagues

00:41:39work

00:41:40could be

00:41:41involved.

00:41:43As soon as the police

00:41:44They arrived at the trailer.

00:41:45by McKnight,

00:41:46they realized that

00:41:47Something was wrong.

00:41:48The lock

00:41:50from the door

00:41:50from the front

00:41:50it was broken

00:41:51and, upon entering,

00:41:53they went immediately

00:41:54taken

00:41:55by a smell

00:41:55Nauseating.

00:41:57The reason

00:41:58that smell

00:41:58overwhelming

00:41:59It didn't take long.

00:42:00to be revealed.

00:42:02In the background

00:42:03from the trailer,

00:42:04wrapped

00:42:04on a rug,

00:42:06the body was there

00:42:07of a young woman.

00:42:08The forward

00:42:09state of decomposition

00:42:11made it difficult

00:42:12identification

00:42:12immediate,

00:42:13but the exams

00:42:14forensic

00:42:15confirmed

00:42:16what the

00:42:16investigators

00:42:17They were already afraid.

00:42:18It was about

00:42:19of the body

00:42:20by Emily Murray.

00:42:23The autopsy

00:42:24revealed

00:42:25that Emily

00:42:25it was executed

00:42:26with a shot

00:42:27in the head

00:42:28Point-blank range.

00:42:29Analyses

00:42:30of the scene

00:42:30of the crime

00:42:31showed

00:42:31capsules

00:42:32triggered

00:42:33and standards

00:42:34of splashes

00:42:34blood

00:42:35indicating

00:42:36that the murder

00:42:36occurred within

00:42:37from the trailer itself.

00:42:39The investigation,

00:42:41that before

00:42:41it was treated

00:42:42as a case

00:42:43disappearance,

00:42:44now it was transforming

00:42:45in homicide.

00:42:47The next step

00:42:48it was to guarantee

00:42:49that justice

00:42:49if it were done.

00:42:51On the same day,

00:42:53the police

00:42:53Gregory was arrested.

00:42:54McKnight.

00:42:56Initially,

00:42:57the accusations

00:42:58against him

00:42:58they were not

00:42:59related

00:43:00to disappearance

00:43:01by Emily Murray.

00:43:03He was already wanted.

00:43:04for a robbery

00:43:05at gunpoint.

00:43:06However,

00:43:07when confronted

00:43:08with the evidence

00:43:09forceful

00:43:10that connected him

00:43:11to the murder

00:43:11of the young woman,

00:43:12McKnight refused.

00:43:14to cooperate.

00:43:15He avoided

00:43:16to respond

00:43:16the questions

00:43:17of the investigators,

00:43:19demanded a lawyer

00:43:20and did not provide

00:43:21no explanation

00:43:22about death

00:43:23Emily's.

00:43:24Although the police

00:43:25had

00:43:26a direct confession,

00:43:27the fact

00:43:28of the body

00:43:28by Emily

00:43:29to have been found

00:43:30inside his trailer

00:43:31it was evidence

00:43:32enough

00:43:33to make it

00:43:34the main suspect.

00:43:36But,

00:43:36customized

00:43:36that the investigations

00:43:37They advanced,

00:43:38a discovery

00:43:39even more disturbing

00:43:41I was about to

00:43:42to be done.

00:43:42During

00:43:44a search

00:43:44meticulous

00:43:45on the property

00:43:46by McKnight,

00:43:47the agents

00:43:48they came across

00:43:48with a scene

00:43:49macabre.

00:43:50In the background

00:43:51from the land,

00:43:52in an area

00:43:53abandoned

00:43:54and taken

00:43:54through the woods,

00:43:55there was an old

00:43:56almost well

00:43:57imperceptible

00:43:58among the vegetation

00:43:59dense.

00:44:00Its opening

00:44:01it was covered

00:44:02by a plate

00:44:03metallic

00:44:04rusty,

00:44:05partially

00:44:05hidden

00:44:06by branches

00:44:06fallen.

00:44:07The investigators

00:44:09they decided to remove

00:44:10the coverage

00:44:10and examine

00:44:11what was there

00:44:12within.

00:44:13What

00:44:14they found

00:44:14would transform

00:44:15the case

00:44:16something

00:44:16even more

00:44:17dingy.

00:44:18After

00:44:19empty

00:44:20water

00:44:20from the well,

00:44:21the agents

00:44:22they did

00:44:22a discovery

00:44:23Terrifying.

00:44:24Remains

00:44:25bones

00:44:26humans.

00:44:27By the structure

00:44:28of the bones,

00:44:29It became evident

00:44:30that belonged

00:44:30to a man.

00:44:32Next

00:44:32from there,

00:44:33fragments

00:44:34bones

00:44:34scattered

00:44:35on the ground

00:44:35they reinforced

00:44:36the suspicion

00:44:37of that

00:44:38it wasn't

00:44:38a case

00:44:39isolated.

00:44:40Quickly,

00:45:33the investigators

00:45:33they couldn't

00:45:34continue

00:45:35to the case

00:45:36that ended

00:45:36Cooling down.

00:45:37Now,

00:45:38however,

00:45:39the story

00:45:40he was winning a new one

00:45:41unfolding.

00:45:46inside the well

00:45:47and had no doubts

00:45:49They belonged to him.

00:45:50The analysis

00:45:51forensic analysis of bones

00:45:52revealed cuts

00:45:54similar

00:45:55to those left behind

00:45:59brutally

00:46:00dismembered

00:46:01with tools

00:46:03According to

00:46:04the investigators

00:46:05they deepened

00:46:06the searches,

00:46:07a new

00:46:07and disturbing

00:46:08detail

00:46:09It came to light.

00:46:10Short time

00:46:11after

00:46:12the disappearance

00:46:13of Julius,

00:46:13McKnight

00:46:14had sold

00:46:15illegally

00:46:16His car.

00:46:17To avoid

00:46:18suspicions,

00:46:19He repainted the vehicle.

00:46:21When the authorities

00:46:23They recovered the car.

00:46:24by Gregory McKnight,

00:46:25forensic examinations

00:46:34Inside the trailer

00:46:36by McKnight,

00:46:37the investigators

00:46:37they found

00:46:38an axe,

00:46:39a shovel

00:46:40and others

00:46:40tools,

00:46:41all containing

00:46:42forensic evidence

00:46:43that connected them

00:46:45to the murder

00:46:45of Julius.

00:46:47With the evidence

00:46:48accumulating,

00:46:49the detectives

00:46:49they came across

00:46:50with a question

00:46:51disturbing.

00:46:53Who was

00:46:54Gregory McKnight

00:46:55and what

00:46:56Did it lead him to kill?

00:47:00Born

00:47:01November 12

00:47:02from 1976

00:47:03in a neighborhood

00:47:04needy

00:47:05from Columbus,

00:47:06Ohio,

00:47:07McKnight

00:47:07had a childhood

00:47:08marked

00:47:09due to instability

00:47:10and crime.

00:47:12Created

00:47:12without supervision

00:47:13adequate parenting,

00:47:14started practicing

00:47:15thefts

00:47:16still young.

00:47:17At age 14,

00:47:18It had already been

00:47:19Caught stealing

00:47:20and at 15

00:47:21got involved

00:47:22in a robbery

00:47:23which resulted

00:47:24in a death.

00:47:24due to his age,

00:47:26it received

00:47:27What a shame.

00:47:28just

00:47:28six years

00:47:29in an institution

00:47:30for children

00:47:31offenders.

00:47:32After being

00:47:33freed

00:47:34in 1997,

00:47:36McKnight

00:47:36tried to rebuild

00:47:37your life.

00:47:39He got married.

00:47:39with a woman

00:47:40call

00:47:41Catrine

00:47:41and together

00:47:42they had

00:47:43Two children.

00:47:44With great effort,

00:47:46it achieved

00:47:46to save money

00:47:47enough money

00:47:48to buy

00:47:48a trailer,

00:47:49what could

00:47:50represent

00:47:51a new beginning

00:47:52For your family.

00:47:53However,

00:47:54this place

00:47:55it ended up becoming

00:47:56a true

00:47:57A scene of horrors.

00:47:59In May 2000,

00:48:01McKnight

00:48:01murdered

00:48:02Gregory Julius

00:48:03and discarded

00:48:04your body

00:48:04in a well

00:48:05behind the trailer.

00:48:07Six months later,

00:48:08took a life

00:48:09by Emily Murray

00:48:10abandoning

00:48:11his mortal remains

00:48:12inside the trailer itself.

00:48:14According to the investigation

00:48:15It was advancing,

00:48:16Caterina,

00:48:17the wife

00:48:18by McKnight,

00:48:19admitted

00:48:19that there was

00:48:20suspected

00:48:21a long time ago

00:48:21something

00:48:22I was wrong.

00:48:23her husband

00:48:24visited

00:48:25the trailer

00:48:25frequently,

00:48:26but never

00:48:27allowed

00:48:27that she

00:48:28if he approached.

00:48:29Although

00:48:30suspected

00:48:31of some

00:48:31activity

00:48:32illegal,

00:48:33I could never

00:48:34imagine

00:48:34the real

00:48:35dimension

00:48:36of horror

00:48:37hidden there.

00:48:38Despite

00:48:39of the evidence

00:48:39forceful

00:48:40against McKnight,

00:48:42link

00:48:42your participation

00:48:43in the assassination

00:48:44of Julius

00:48:44It was a challenge.

00:48:46since the

00:48:46investigators

00:48:47They couldn't.

00:48:49determine

00:48:49with precision

00:48:50the place

00:48:51exactly

00:48:52where he

00:48:52had been

00:48:53dead.

00:48:53That

00:48:54made it difficult

00:48:55the accusation

00:48:56formal.

00:48:57However,

00:48:58the case

00:48:58by Emily

00:48:59Murray

00:48:59It was different.

00:49:00His remains

00:49:01mortals

00:49:02were found

00:49:03inside

00:49:04trailer

00:49:04by McKnight

00:49:05and all

00:49:05the evidence

00:49:06they confronted

00:49:07that the crime

00:49:08It happened there.

00:49:09One of

00:49:10aspects

00:49:10most intriguing

00:49:11of the murder

00:49:12by Emily

00:49:13Murray

00:49:13it was the absence

00:49:14for a reason

00:49:15obvious.

00:49:16Nothing

00:49:17had been

00:49:17stolen

00:49:18and also

00:49:19there was

00:49:19signs

00:49:20of aggression.

00:49:21Your car

00:49:22it was simply

00:49:23abandoned

00:49:24behind the

00:49:24trailer

00:49:24by McKnight

00:49:25without any

00:49:26explanation

00:49:26apparent.

00:49:27Colleagues

00:49:28work

00:49:29who knew

00:49:29McKnight

00:49:30of Pirates

00:49:31Cove

00:49:31they stated

00:49:32that he

00:49:32always

00:49:33treated

00:49:33Emily

00:49:34With respect.

00:49:35Never

00:49:36demonstrated

00:49:36any

00:49:37hostility

00:49:37in relation to

00:49:38to her.

00:49:39Then,

00:49:40why

00:49:40Did he kill her?

00:49:42The prosecutors

00:49:43they got up

00:49:44the hypothesis

00:49:44that McKnight

00:49:45it could

00:49:46screen

00:49:47attracted

00:49:47for your trailer.

00:49:48possibly

00:49:49taking advantage

00:49:50of kindness

00:49:50from her to

00:49:51Ask for help.

00:49:53Once

00:49:53inside,

00:49:54something can

00:49:54to have triggered

00:49:56an outbreak

00:49:56of violence.

00:49:58One of

00:49:59possibilities

00:49:59considered

00:50:00it was that

00:50:01McKnight

00:50:01nurtured feelings

00:50:03hidden

00:50:03by Emily

00:50:04and when it is

00:50:04rejected

00:50:05it lost

00:50:06the control.

00:50:07However,

00:50:08the real

00:50:08reason behind

00:50:09of their actions

00:50:10remains

00:50:11A mystery.

00:50:12During

00:50:13your judgment,

00:50:14Gregory McKnight

00:50:15remained

00:50:16in silence,

00:50:16refusing

00:50:17to provide

00:50:18any explanation

00:50:19for their crimes.

00:50:21Your defense

00:50:22adopted a strategy

00:50:23controversial,

00:50:24claiming that

00:50:25Emily and Murray

00:50:26they faced the battle

00:50:27against depression,

00:50:29implying that

00:50:30McKnight

00:50:30only she would

00:50:31helped

00:50:32finally

00:50:33life itself.

00:50:35This claim

00:50:36was received

00:50:37with indignation

00:50:38by the family

00:50:38and by friends

00:50:39by Emily,

00:50:40being quickly

00:50:41rejected

00:50:41by the court.

00:50:42in 2002,

00:50:45Gregory McKnight

00:50:46he was convicted

00:50:46for two charges

00:50:48homicide

00:50:48in the first degree,

00:50:49in addition to kidnapping

00:50:50and robbery

00:50:51at gunpoint.

00:50:52As a result,

00:50:54it received

00:50:54the death penalty.

00:50:57For more than

00:50:58a decade,

00:50:59McKnight

00:50:59remained

00:51:00in the hallway

00:51:01of death,

00:51:02entering with

00:51:02multiple resources

00:51:03in an attempt

00:51:04to reverse

00:51:05your sentence.

00:51:06However,

00:51:07in 2015,

00:51:09made a decision

00:51:10Unexpected.

00:51:11Requested

00:51:12that its execution

00:51:13were it accelerated,

00:51:14stating that

00:51:15I'd rather die

00:51:16passing

00:51:16the rest

00:51:17of life

00:51:18in prison.

00:51:19Short time

00:51:20after,

00:51:21backtracked

00:51:21and resumed

00:51:22your struggle

00:51:23in the courts.

00:51:24In 2020,

00:51:26McKnight

00:51:26did more

00:51:27an attempt

00:51:28to contest

00:51:28your conviction,

00:51:29claiming that

00:51:30there was

00:51:31non-discrimination

00:51:31racial

00:51:32in his trial.

00:51:34According to him,

00:51:35the jury,

00:51:36which was composed

00:51:37completely

00:51:38by white people,

00:51:39It would have been partial.

00:51:41against him.

00:51:42Your case

00:51:43It was revised.

00:51:44but the conviction

00:51:45and the sentence

00:51:45remained

00:51:46unchanged.

00:51:48At the moment,

00:51:49Gregory McKnight

00:51:50continues

00:51:51in the hallway

00:51:52of death,

00:51:53waiting

00:51:53the decision

00:51:54final about

00:51:54your destiny.

00:51:56Your case

00:51:57serves as

00:51:57a gloomy

00:51:58reminder

00:51:58of what,

00:51:59behind

00:52:00of the apparent

00:52:00normality

00:52:01of everyday life,

00:52:02they can hide

00:52:03invisible dangers

00:52:04and that,

00:52:05cross the path

00:52:06of a predator

00:52:07disguised,

00:52:08may have,

00:52:09consequences

00:52:10tragic.

00:52:19In July

00:52:20from 1983,

00:52:22in the quiet

00:52:22village of

00:52:23Groobridge,

00:52:24in the United Kingdom,

00:52:25he was born

00:52:26Claire Bernal.

00:52:27Created

00:52:28at home

00:52:29full

00:52:29of love

00:52:30and support,

00:52:31she grew

00:52:31surrounded

00:52:32for the affection

00:52:32of their parents,

00:52:33Tricia

00:52:34and Martin

00:52:34Bernal.

00:52:35Since I was little,

00:52:36demonstrated a talent

00:52:38especially for creativity,

00:52:40primarily in the universe

00:52:42of beauty

00:52:42and self-expression.

00:52:44Even in childhood,

00:52:46Claire was passing

00:52:46hours ahead

00:52:47from the mirror,

00:52:48practicing different

00:52:49makeup techniques.

00:52:51With a brush

00:52:52in one hand

00:52:53and big dreams

00:52:54on the other,

00:52:55she revealed

00:52:56an innate ability

00:52:57to highlight

00:52:58the beauty of people

00:52:59around you.

00:53:00Your mother

00:53:01often

00:53:02was surprised

00:53:03naturally

00:53:04with what the daughter

00:53:05dominated

00:53:05art

00:53:06of aesthetics.

00:53:07During adolescence,

00:53:09Claire studied

00:53:10at a school

00:53:11Catholic

00:53:11in the city

00:53:12from Tarnbridge Wells.

00:53:14His kind manner

00:53:16and his vision

00:53:16positive life

00:53:18they made them

00:53:18a loved one

00:53:20among friends

00:53:20and teachers.

00:53:22Upon completion

00:53:23the studies,

00:53:24decided to follow

00:53:24your true passion

00:53:26and joined

00:53:26at West Kent College

00:53:28to specialize

00:53:29in beauty therapy,

00:53:31a path

00:53:31which seemed to be drawn

00:53:32since his childhood.

00:53:34Claire's passion

00:53:35by makeup

00:53:36It went much further.

00:53:37from the classroom.

00:53:38When I found out

00:53:39of a vacancy

00:53:40for the consultant

00:53:41beauty

00:53:41at Harvey Nichols,

00:53:43a luxury store

00:53:44of departments

00:53:45in London,

00:53:46known for its

00:53:47sophisticated clientele,

00:53:48He didn't think twice.

00:53:49before applying.

00:53:51Shortly before

00:53:52from the interview,

00:53:53Claire called

00:53:54for your friend

00:53:55Adam Ward.

00:53:56Your voice

00:53:57was carrying a mixture

00:53:58anxiety

00:53:59and expectation.

00:54:00Adam,

00:54:01always optimistic,

00:54:02he reminded her

00:54:03than I already knew.

00:54:04Claire was talented,

00:54:06kind and captivating,

00:54:07qualities that made her

00:54:09unforgettable.

00:54:10And he was right.

00:54:12Your interview

00:54:13It was a success.

00:54:15His charisma

00:54:15and enthusiasm

00:54:16caused

00:54:17an impression

00:54:18remarkable

00:54:18and when he received

00:54:20the long-awaited

00:54:20job offer,

00:54:22Joy took over.

00:54:24Adam celebrated with her.

00:54:25proud,

00:54:26But unsurprisingly.

00:54:28In the end,

00:54:28I knew it was just

00:54:29a matter of time

00:54:30until Claire conquered

00:54:32your space.

00:54:34Installed in an apartment

00:54:36in south London

00:54:36that divided

00:54:37with two colleagues

00:54:38from the room,

00:54:39Claire adapted.

00:54:40quickly

00:54:41to the hectic life

00:54:42of the city.

00:54:43London was pulsating.

00:54:44with energy

00:54:45and it blossomed

00:54:46both in personal life

00:54:47both professionally and professionally.

00:54:50At work,

00:54:51your talent

00:54:51He quickly stood out.

00:54:53Customers

00:54:54they loved

00:54:54your attention

00:54:55and delicacy.

00:54:57Colleagues

00:54:58They respected her.

00:54:58for authenticity

00:55:00and competence.

00:55:01Claire didn't need to

00:55:02to be extravagant

00:55:03or flashy.

00:55:04Its essence

00:55:05It spoke for itself.

00:55:07Your goal

00:55:08It was simple,

00:55:09but loaded

00:55:10of meaning.

00:55:11To make it so

00:55:12every woman

00:55:13that he should sit down

00:55:13in front of you

00:55:14if it felt

00:55:15beautiful and confident.

00:55:17And Claire Bernal

00:55:18I was doing that.

00:55:19Like no one else.

00:55:20Not only

00:55:21with his technique

00:55:22flawless,

00:55:23but with his presence

00:55:24welcoming

00:55:25that transmitted

00:55:26security

00:55:26and it caused

00:55:27everyone around you

00:55:29if they felt

00:55:30seen and valued.

00:55:32In July 2025,

00:55:35Claire celebrated.

00:55:35your 22nd birthday

00:55:37in a special way,

00:55:39a trip

00:55:40to Florence,

00:55:40in Italy,

00:55:41next to her mother.

00:55:43For five days

00:55:44unforgettable

00:55:45The two of them dove in.

00:55:46in art,

00:55:47They enjoyed the sun.

00:55:48and they created memories

00:55:50that, later,

00:55:51Trissa would describe

00:55:52like some

00:55:53of the moments

00:55:54happier

00:55:54from Claire's life.

00:55:55More than a mother

00:55:57and daughter,

00:55:57They were better.

00:55:59friends.

00:56:00Although,

00:56:01not everything

00:56:02in Claire's life

00:56:03It was perfect.

00:56:04Most people,

00:56:06while observing Claire

00:56:07in their daily lives,

00:56:09They couldn't have imagined it.

00:56:09that young woman,

00:56:11cheerful and friendly,

00:56:12I was living

00:56:13the worst nightmare

00:56:15of your life.

00:56:16Behind

00:56:17of the smile

00:56:17Claire's delicate,

00:56:19was hiding

00:56:19a feeling

00:56:20out of fear

00:56:21that she was already coming

00:56:22feeling

00:56:23For quite some time now.

00:56:23it all started

00:56:25short time

00:56:26after

00:56:26of hiring

00:56:27of a new

00:56:28security

00:56:29to the store.

00:56:30Michael Pett,

00:56:3130 years old,

00:56:32months passed

00:56:33harassing her

00:56:34and tormenting

00:56:35emotionally.

00:56:36Although Claire

00:56:37have kept

00:56:38large part

00:56:39of this suffering

00:56:40for you,

00:56:41the terrifying

00:56:42reality that he lived

00:56:43only was understood

00:56:44by the people

00:56:45closer to her

00:56:46after the tragedy

00:56:48what happened.

00:56:49Claire ended up

00:56:50becoming

00:56:50someone's target

00:56:51with whom did he share

00:56:53the environment

00:56:53work.

00:56:54Someone she

00:56:56I would never have imagined it.

00:56:57to be a threat.

00:57:00Michael Pett

00:57:01had double

00:57:02citizenship,

00:57:03both in the Republic

00:57:04Czech Republic

00:57:04as well as in Slovakia.

00:57:06Before moving

00:57:07to London,

00:57:08he served

00:57:09in the Slovak army,

00:57:10but it's over

00:57:11being dismissed.

00:57:13Later,

00:57:13got a job

00:57:15safely

00:57:16at the Embassy

00:57:17from the United States

00:57:18and,

00:57:18some time later,

00:57:19settled

00:57:20in north London.

00:57:22That was when

00:57:23who started working

00:57:24in the security team

00:57:25from the renowned store

00:57:26of departments

00:57:26Harvey Nichols,

00:57:28the same place

00:57:29where Claire Bernal

00:57:30She was an employee.

00:57:31During your work

00:57:32in the store,

00:57:33Michael noticed Claire.

00:57:34for the first time.

00:57:36Your personality

00:57:37reserved

00:57:38and delicate beauty

00:57:39They caught your attention.

00:57:41and he searched

00:57:42ways to get closer.

00:57:44In January 2005,

00:57:46he mustered up courage

00:57:47and invited her

00:57:48to leave.

00:57:48kind and polite,

00:57:51Claire ended up

00:57:51accepting the invitation.

00:57:53In the three meetings

00:57:55casual encounters that had

00:57:56over the course of three weeks,

00:57:58everything just seemed

00:57:59a common interaction

00:58:00for her.

00:58:01However,

00:58:02for Michael,

00:58:03that meant

00:58:05much more.

00:58:07From the very first moment,

00:58:09Tricia Bernal

00:58:10He had a premonition.

00:58:11bad.

00:58:12Michael was older,

00:58:13recently separated

00:58:14and it emanated an energy

00:58:16that she simply

00:58:17I couldn't trust her.

00:58:19Claire,

00:58:20on the other hand,

00:58:21I wasn't

00:58:21so involved.

00:58:22Your family

00:58:23I would say later

00:58:24that she liked

00:58:25of attention,

00:58:26but it didn't match

00:58:27to intensity

00:58:28by Michael.

00:58:29Just a few days

00:58:30after they begin

00:58:31to be seen,

00:58:32Michael already stated

00:58:33your love.

00:58:34In the beginning,

00:58:36Claire felt

00:58:36derogeada,

00:58:37but it didn't take long

00:58:38so that things

00:58:39They started to change.

00:58:40The behavior

00:58:42by Michael

00:58:42It became sticky.

00:58:43possessive.

00:58:44He didn't like it.

00:58:46that she spend time

00:58:47with friends

00:58:47or family members

00:58:48and his jealousy

00:58:50quickly

00:58:50It became suffocating.

00:58:52Even on the first meeting,

00:58:54Claire realized

00:58:55some signs

00:58:55alert,

00:58:56evidence that later

00:58:57she would wish

00:58:59to have taken it more seriously.

00:59:01After a short trip

00:59:02to Slovakia,

00:59:03Michael was waiting.

00:59:04that Claire

00:59:05I went to get him.

00:59:06at the airport.

00:59:07Furthermore,

00:59:08pressed her

00:59:09to leave it

00:59:10Stay at home.

00:59:11Claire refused.

00:59:13in a calm manner

00:59:14accompanying

00:59:15until station

00:59:16by train

00:59:16and making it clear

00:59:17that I didn't want

00:59:18I'll see him again.

00:59:19Although,

00:59:20Michael did not accept.

00:59:21her decision.

00:59:22That was when

00:59:23that the insistent ones

00:59:24The calls started.

00:59:26When Claire

00:59:27He didn't answer.

00:59:28he expected

00:59:29outside

00:59:29From your home.

00:59:31One day,

00:59:32he waited

00:59:32for two hours,

00:59:34yelling

00:59:34and demanding to see her.

00:59:37Your colleagues

00:59:37apartment

00:59:38and neighbors

00:59:39heard

00:59:39all the confusion.

00:59:41Only then

00:59:42that one of the friends

00:59:43by Claire

00:59:43confronted

00:59:44Michael

00:59:44directly,

00:59:46he finally

00:59:46He left.

00:59:48However,

00:59:49the next day,

00:59:50He returned,

00:59:51but this time

00:59:52with flowers.

00:59:53He started following her.

00:59:55on the way

00:59:55round trip

00:59:56from work,

00:59:57begging

00:59:58for a new chance.

01:00:00Claire

01:00:00maintained

01:00:00your position

01:00:01firm,

01:00:02but that's only

01:00:03seemed to feed

01:00:04even more

01:00:05His obsession.

01:00:06The behavior

01:00:08by Michael

01:00:08it became

01:00:09more and more

01:00:10disturbing.

01:00:10In a few days,

01:00:13Claire received

01:00:14about 50

01:00:15his calls.

01:00:16Your messages

01:00:18voice

01:00:18they passed

01:00:19to be strange

01:00:20and unsettling,

01:00:21inventing situations

01:00:22as false

01:00:23celebrations

01:00:24birthday,

01:00:25until it arrived

01:00:26the message

01:00:27which terrified her.

01:00:29If I can't

01:00:30to have you,

01:00:31no one else

01:00:32You could.

01:00:34She switched.

01:00:35number,

01:00:35but he succeeded

01:00:36The new one.

01:00:37It seemed

01:00:38that there was

01:00:39escape.

01:00:39At work,

01:00:41the situation

01:00:42it was left

01:00:43unsustainable.

01:00:44Michael

01:00:45I was watching her.

01:00:46by mirrors

01:00:46and glass,

01:00:47trying to manipulate

01:00:48other employees

01:00:49so that they could convince her.

01:00:51Talking to him.

01:00:52Until,

01:00:53on that fateful day,

01:00:55Claire gave in.

01:00:55and agreed

01:00:56in conversation.

01:00:58But like this

01:00:59who approached,

01:01:00He cornered her.

01:01:01he pressed her

01:01:02against the wall

01:01:03and shouted,

01:01:04Yes,

01:01:05you love me

01:01:05You stupid little girl.

01:01:08Michael,

01:01:08that before

01:01:09was paid

01:01:10to protect

01:01:10people

01:01:11had become

01:01:12the biggest threat

01:01:14Claire's.

01:01:15The young woman's life

01:01:16entered

01:01:16in a spiral

01:01:17out of fear.

01:01:18She was

01:01:19more and more

01:01:20distracted,

01:01:21arriving late

01:01:22to work

01:01:23and emotionally

01:01:24exhausted.

01:01:25The feeling

01:01:26security

01:01:26had disappeared,

01:01:28even

01:01:29in public places.

01:01:31In March

01:01:32from 2005,

01:01:33on returning

01:01:33home,

01:01:34she realized

01:01:35that Michael

01:01:36She followed me.

01:01:37Trying to escape,

01:01:39Claire entered.

01:01:40on a train,

01:01:40but he

01:01:42He entered immediately.

01:01:42back.

01:01:44When he went down,

01:01:45He did the same.

01:01:46and grabbed

01:01:47your arm.

01:01:49She threatened

01:01:49call the police.

01:01:51The answer

01:01:52he made

01:01:52your blood

01:01:53freeze.

01:01:54If you

01:01:55report me,

01:01:56I'll kill you.

01:01:57The eyes

01:01:58by Michael

01:01:59remained

01:02:00fixed

01:02:00us from her

01:02:01while

01:02:02he was leaving

01:02:03of the train.

01:02:04Claire

01:02:05Bernal

01:02:05ran

01:02:06home

01:02:06in tears,

01:02:07scared

01:02:08and trembling

01:02:09out of fear.

01:02:10That night,

01:02:11she told

01:02:12everything for

01:02:12Your mother.

01:02:13Harassment,

01:02:15the threats,

01:02:16terror

01:02:16constant.

01:02:17The load

01:02:18emotional

01:02:19had become

01:02:20unbearable.

01:02:22She barely

01:02:22I was able to sleep.

01:02:24Your anxiety

01:02:25increased

01:02:26every day

01:02:26and his life

01:02:27It seemed like a nightmare.

01:02:29of which

01:02:29she couldn't

01:02:30to wake up.

01:02:31Claire

01:02:32I desperately wanted to.

01:02:33that

01:02:33it was over,

01:02:34but fear

01:02:35it prevented her

01:02:36to search

01:02:36The police.

01:02:38Michael

01:02:38had been

01:02:39clear in its

01:02:39threat

01:02:40and she

01:02:41believed

01:02:42in it.

01:02:43Even so,

01:02:44Claire knew

01:02:44something

01:02:45I needed to change.

01:02:47It was obvious

01:02:47that Michael

01:02:48I wouldn't stop

01:02:49on account

01:02:49own

01:02:50and try

01:02:50convince him

01:02:51had been

01:02:52useless.

01:02:53After

01:02:54two months

01:02:55supporting

01:02:55harassment

01:02:56in silence,

01:02:57Claire decided

01:02:58report Michael

01:02:59to their

01:02:59supervisors

01:03:00at Harvey Nichols.

01:03:01She was expecting

01:03:02that they could

01:03:03help her

01:03:03closing

01:03:04the nightmare

01:03:05that was

01:03:05living.

01:03:06She had

01:03:07a step taken

01:03:08brave,

01:03:09but unfortunately

01:03:10no

01:03:10would be enough

01:03:11to prevent

01:03:12what was

01:03:13to come.

01:03:15When Claire

01:03:16Bernal

01:03:16finally

01:03:17decided

01:03:17to speak

01:03:18about

01:03:18harassment

01:03:18by Michael

01:03:19Pat,

01:03:19she doesn't

01:03:20was ignored,

01:03:21She was heard.

01:03:22The boss

01:03:23security

01:03:24from the store

01:03:24Harvey Nichols,

01:03:25a former police officer

01:03:26experienced,

01:03:27paid attention

01:03:28in every detail

01:03:29from his account.

01:03:30Without underestimating

01:03:31gravity

01:03:32given the situation,

01:03:33he started

01:03:34to monitor

01:03:35Michael

01:03:35through

01:03:36of the cameras

01:03:36security.

01:03:37The images

01:03:38confirmed

01:03:39exactly

01:03:39what Claire

01:03:40I had described it.

01:03:42Given the evidence,

01:03:43the decision

01:03:44It was taken.

01:03:45Michael

01:03:46would be transferred

01:03:47to another floor

01:03:48from the store,

01:03:49keeping it

01:03:49away from her.

01:03:51But the distance

01:03:52It didn't stop him.

01:03:54Even after

01:03:55to be relocated

01:03:56at work,

01:03:57Michael

01:03:57I still knew

01:03:58where Claire

01:03:59I lived there.

01:03:59Harassment

01:04:01it did not cease,

01:04:02It just changed

01:04:03of scenery.

01:04:04Realizing

01:04:05that the situation

01:04:06I was running away.

01:04:07of control,

01:04:08the administration

01:04:09by Harvey Nichols

01:04:10decided to suspend

01:04:11Michael,

01:04:12And that was enough.

01:04:13for him to arrive

01:04:14to the limit

01:04:15of his insanity.

01:04:17The boss

01:04:17security

01:04:18from the store

01:04:19Claire advised

01:04:20firmly.

01:04:21She needed

01:04:22take the case

01:04:23to the police.

01:04:24Despite

01:04:25hesitant,

01:04:26outlet

01:04:27out of shame,

01:04:28because of the confusion

01:04:29and by the desire

01:04:30desperate

01:04:31of everything

01:04:31simply

01:04:32if it ended,

01:04:33Claire took

01:04:34a decision

01:04:35brave.

01:04:36She formalized it.

01:04:37the complaint.

01:04:38Short time

01:04:39after,

01:04:39the police

01:04:40arrested Michael

01:04:41while he

01:04:42was in his

01:04:43work shift.

01:04:44Handcuffed,

01:04:45He was escorted.

01:04:46out

01:04:47of the establishment

01:04:48and immediately

01:04:49fired.

01:04:50But what else

01:04:51Claire marked

01:04:52It wasn't the right time.

01:04:53From prison.

01:04:54And yes,

01:04:55the cold stare

01:04:56and bitter

01:04:56by Michael

01:04:57when the officers

01:04:58they put it

01:04:59in the vehicle.

01:05:00He stared at her.

01:05:01with fury

01:05:02as if she

01:05:03if she were to blame.

01:05:05The ballad,

01:05:06Claire called

01:05:06For his mother.

01:05:08Tricia still

01:05:09Do you remember?

01:05:09with a trembling voice

01:05:10daughter

01:05:11On the phone.

01:05:12Claire didn't want to.

01:05:14that Michael would suffer,

01:05:15I just wanted

01:05:16that he should stop.

01:05:17But he didn't stop.

01:05:19and now

01:05:19there was

01:05:20another choice.

01:05:22At the police station,

01:05:24Michael introduced

01:05:24a distorted version

01:05:26of the events.

01:05:27He claimed that there was

01:05:28he

01:05:29who finished

01:05:30the relationship.

01:05:31Said that Claire

01:05:32it was someone who didn't

01:05:33I was able to follow

01:05:34in front.

01:05:35Despite the courage

01:05:36her in telling

01:05:37the truth

01:05:38without physical evidence

01:05:39to support it,

01:05:40the police

01:05:41it cannot

01:05:42Keep him detained.

01:05:43The warrant

01:05:44restriction

01:05:45was issued

01:05:45prohibiting

01:05:46Michael

01:05:47to get closer

01:05:47from your home,

01:05:48of work

01:05:49or from anywhere

01:05:50wherever possible

01:05:51find her.

01:05:52But he never

01:05:54had the intention

01:05:55to obey.

01:05:56In less than two days

01:05:57after having been

01:05:58freed,

01:05:59Michael was seen

01:06:00outside

01:06:01from the apartment

01:06:02by Claire,

01:06:03smiling

01:06:03and waving.

01:06:05When the police

01:06:06it arrived,

01:06:07he already had

01:06:07gone.

01:06:08Short time

01:06:09after,

01:06:10he returned

01:06:10to violate

01:06:11the conditions

01:06:12of the bail

01:06:12and was arrested

01:06:13again.

01:06:14Even so,

01:06:16upon being detained,

01:06:17threw it to Claire

01:06:18a smile

01:06:19disturbing,

01:06:20a silent warning

01:06:21that

01:06:22I didn't have it yet

01:06:23finished.

01:06:24Michael stayed

01:06:25just eight days

01:06:26in custody.

01:06:28Before the trial,

01:06:29He was released.

01:06:30once again

01:06:31while the court

01:06:32I was preparing a report.

01:06:33pre-sentencing.

01:06:35Your next hearing

01:06:36it was marked

01:06:37for September 21st

01:06:38with the same

01:06:39restrictions,

01:06:40no contact,

01:06:41without getting closer.

01:06:42The decision

01:06:44left everyone

01:06:45perplexed

01:06:45like someone

01:06:46so clearly

01:06:47dangerous

01:06:48He could be released.

01:06:49Again,

01:06:51some believed

01:06:52that nature

01:06:53kind of Claire

01:06:54It made her minimize

01:06:55gravity

01:06:56of harassment.

01:06:57Others thought

01:06:58that the system

01:06:59justice

01:06:59It simply failed.

01:07:01in seeing

01:07:02The real threat.

01:07:04But regardless

01:07:05of reason,

01:07:06Michael was free.

01:07:07and already planning

01:07:08Your next step.

01:07:09This time,

01:07:11he disappeared

01:07:12completely,

01:07:13But he didn't give up.

01:07:16Michael boarded

01:07:17in flight

01:07:18to Slovakia.

01:07:20Officially,

01:07:21it was just

01:07:21a trip

01:07:22to visit

01:07:23The family.

01:07:24In reality,

01:07:25he went there

01:07:25to participate

01:07:26of a course

01:07:27training

01:07:28with firearms.

01:07:30While Claire

01:07:31and Tricia

01:07:32they enjoyed

01:07:33of a trip

01:07:33joyful for Florence

01:07:35in Italy,

01:07:36Michael was getting ready.

01:07:37for something

01:07:37much darker.

01:07:40Somehow,

01:07:41Michael succeeded.

01:07:42smuggle

01:07:43a weapon

01:07:44from Slovakia

01:07:45to the United Kingdom.

01:07:46The weaponry

01:07:47It went unnoticed.

01:07:48when he entered

01:07:49in the country.

01:07:49And this alarming

01:07:51security breach

01:07:52It would have consequences.

01:07:53devastating.

01:07:56On August 31st

01:07:58from 2005,

01:07:59Claire was ready.

01:08:00to confront it

01:08:01in court.

01:08:02She had prepared herself.

01:08:03emotionally

01:08:04to bear witness,

01:08:05even if the simple idea

01:08:06to see him again

01:08:07caused him

01:08:08a deep unease.

01:08:10Then,

01:08:11a twist

01:08:11The unexpected happened.

01:08:13Michael declared himself

01:08:15guilty.

01:08:16The trial

01:08:17It was cancelled.

01:08:18It was a brief relief.

01:08:19but at the same time

01:08:20disturbing.

01:08:21Despite the confession,

01:08:23he remained

01:08:24at liberty

01:08:25until the date

01:08:25of the sentence

01:08:26scheduled for

01:08:27September 21

01:08:28of that year.

01:08:30For almost two weeks,

01:08:31Michael disappeared

01:08:33completely.

01:08:34No contact.

01:08:35no signal.

01:08:37It was as if the storm

01:08:38had ceased.

01:08:40For the first time

01:08:41for a long time,

01:08:42Claire felt

01:08:43that could return

01:08:44to be who she was.

01:08:46She smiled more.

01:08:47and did it again

01:08:48plans for your future.

01:08:49But all of this

01:08:51tranquility

01:08:51and feeling

01:08:52security

01:08:53It wouldn't last.

01:08:54for a long time.

01:08:55September 13th

01:08:572005

01:08:58It arrived without fanfare.

01:08:59and it was on that day

01:09:01Everything changed.

01:09:03Michael was not there

01:09:04stopped following her

01:09:05Because he moved on.

01:09:07He was just waiting.

01:09:09I was expecting

01:09:09at the right time.

01:09:11Shortly before

01:09:12of the schedule

01:09:13closing

01:09:14from the luxury store

01:09:15Harvey Nichols,

01:09:16Michael Pett,

01:09:17possibly

01:09:18under effect

01:09:19of drugs,

01:09:20managed to get in

01:09:20at the establishment

01:09:21through a door

01:09:22at the back of the store,

01:09:24possibly

01:09:24intended

01:09:25to employees.

01:09:27He was armed.

01:09:28I knew exactly

01:09:30Where to find it.

01:09:31He walked

01:09:32towards

01:09:33at the counter

01:09:34cosmetics

01:09:34where Claire Bernal

01:09:36His shift was ending.

01:09:37And then,

01:09:38without hesitation,

01:09:40He opened fire.

01:09:41In a matter of seconds,

01:09:43four shots

01:09:44they took their lives

01:09:45Claire's.

01:09:45She died right there.

01:09:47on site

01:09:48where I loved it so much

01:09:49to work.

01:09:50Astonished colleagues

01:09:52and horrified customers

01:09:53witnessed the scene

01:09:54while Michael Pett,

01:09:56without demonstrating

01:09:57repentance,

01:09:58He turned the gun around.

01:09:59against himself.

01:10:00And he fired.

01:10:04The attack happened

01:10:06in broad daylight,

01:10:08in an environment

01:10:08busy,

01:10:09leaving scars

01:10:11deep

01:10:11in the witnesses

01:10:12and shaking

01:10:13the entire community.

01:10:14What came before

01:10:15It was a symbol.

01:10:16of sophistication

01:10:17and refinement,

01:10:18now it became

01:10:19the scenario

01:10:19of horror

01:10:20unimaginable.

01:10:22Michael,

01:10:22a man

01:10:23unable

01:10:24to accept

01:10:25rejection,

01:10:26decided that

01:10:26if Claire

01:10:27It couldn't be his,

01:10:28wouldn't it be

01:10:29from no one else.

01:10:30And when taking

01:10:31life itself,

01:10:32he too

01:10:33fled from justice,

01:10:35denying

01:10:35the family

01:10:36by Claire

01:10:36any chance

01:10:37accountability,

01:10:39any answer,

01:10:40any closure.

01:10:42The pain of loss

01:10:43It was immense,

01:10:44but along with her

01:10:45The revolt was coming.

01:10:46And behind it all,

01:10:47a feeling

01:10:48distressing.

01:10:49This tragedy

01:10:51could have been

01:10:52avoided.

01:10:53Claire followed

01:10:54all the steps

01:10:55that a victim

01:10:56it is instructed to follow.

01:10:57He tried to end it.

01:10:58early relationship,

01:11:00reported her attacker

01:11:01to their employers,

01:11:03filed a police report

01:11:04of occurrence,

01:11:05did everything

01:11:06as instructed

01:11:07the protocol,

01:11:08trusted that the system

01:11:09I would protect her.

01:11:10But that didn't happen.

01:11:13Michael violated

01:11:14the conditions

01:11:14repeatedly

01:11:16and ignored the orders

01:11:17restriction.

01:11:18For each infraction,

01:11:20the consequences

01:11:21were postponed

01:11:22or simply

01:11:22They did not exist.

01:11:24Warning signs

01:11:25They were all there,

01:11:27But nobody did anything.

01:11:28At the end,

01:11:29this negligence

01:11:30It cost Claire her life.

01:11:32A few weeks later,

01:11:34family and friends

01:11:35they gathered

01:11:36for his funeral.

01:11:37It was a day

01:11:38of deep pain,

01:11:39marking the farewell

01:11:41of a young woman

01:11:41that still had

01:11:42There's so much to live for.

01:11:43Your parents,

01:11:44Tricia and Martin Bernal

01:11:46remained devastated

01:11:48in front of the coffin

01:11:49of his only daughter.

01:11:50But mourning

01:11:51It wasn't the only feeling.

01:11:53present that day.

01:11:54The environment

01:11:55it was loaded

01:11:56tension.

01:11:57During the investigation,

01:11:59Martin,

01:12:00Claire's father,

01:12:01criticized the way

01:12:02like everything

01:12:02It was conducted.

01:12:04He believed

01:12:05what else could there be?

01:12:05having been done

01:12:06not only

01:12:07by the authorities,

01:12:08but also

01:12:09by the people

01:12:10around Claire.

01:12:11She said that she

01:12:12I was staying

01:12:13with him

01:12:13before dying,

01:12:15but never revealed

01:12:16the real size

01:12:17of his fear.

01:12:18If I had told you,

01:12:19perhaps the outcome

01:12:20if it were someone else.

01:12:22When Tricia

01:12:23He gave his account,

01:12:24the weight of guilt

01:12:25It was overwhelming.

01:12:26Amidst the tears,

01:12:28admitted that he trusted

01:12:29Too many in the system.

01:12:31I thought the police

01:12:32I had the situation

01:12:33under control,

01:12:34But it was my mistake.

01:12:35and now

01:12:36I will have to live with it.

01:12:37therefore.

01:12:38Silence

01:12:39took over

01:12:40from the room.

01:12:41Two parents

01:12:42united by loss,

01:12:43but divided

01:12:44by the form

01:12:44dealing with it.

01:12:46After death

01:12:47of her daughter,

01:12:48Tricia Bernal

01:12:49He made a decision.

01:12:51Claire's story

01:12:52It would not be forgotten.

01:12:54Driven by grief,

01:12:55she started

01:12:56a fight

01:12:56due to changes,

01:12:57determined

01:12:58to avoid

01:12:58what other families

01:13:00passed

01:13:01through the same pain.

01:13:02Joining

01:13:03to relatives

01:13:03and other victims

01:13:04of persecution,

01:13:06Tricia helped

01:13:07to found

01:13:07Family Justice Century,

01:13:09an organization

01:13:10dedicated to supporting

01:13:11survivors

01:13:12and press

01:13:13through reforms

01:13:13in the legislation.

01:13:15Together,

01:13:16they froze

01:13:17a battle

01:13:18to change

01:13:18the laws

01:13:19And they won.

01:13:20In 2012,

01:13:22after years

01:13:23campaign,

01:13:24the chase

01:13:24it was officially

01:13:25classified

01:13:26as a crime

01:13:27in the United Kingdom.

01:13:28An achievement

01:13:29significant,

01:13:30although late

01:13:31for Claire,

01:13:32but capable

01:13:32to save

01:13:33other lives.

01:13:35Even so,

01:13:36Tricia

01:13:36and his companions

01:13:37of struggle

01:13:38recognize

01:13:39that progress

01:13:39It's slow.

01:13:40Many victims

01:13:41They remain voiceless.

01:13:43The authorities,

01:13:44often,

01:13:45they only act

01:13:46when violence

01:13:47It already happened.

01:13:48And in this dangerous silence,

01:13:50the pursuers

01:13:51they find space

01:13:52to continue.

01:13:55The story

01:13:56by Claire Bernal

01:13:57It's proof.

01:13:57indisputable

01:13:58that the persecution

01:14:00It's not something harmless.

01:14:01It's not a romantic gesture.

01:14:03It's a behavior

01:14:04predatory,

01:14:05dangerous

01:14:06and often lethal.

01:14:08Michael not only

01:14:09He took Claire's life.

01:14:10He destroyed

01:14:11your future,

01:14:12stole your peace

01:14:13and extinguished their dreams.

01:14:15He shattered it.

01:14:16your family,

01:14:17leaving wounds

01:14:18that perhaps never

01:14:19heal completely

01:14:20and exposed it to the world

01:14:21the price

01:14:22of a system

01:14:23that took too long

01:14:24to take action.

01:14:25This should never have happened.

01:14:26to have happened,

01:14:27but it happened

01:14:28and now

01:14:29Claire's name

01:14:30It became a warning.

01:14:32a call

01:14:33to recognize

01:14:33the signs.

01:14:34listen to the victims

01:14:35and never,

01:14:36never underestimate

01:14:38a behavior

01:14:39obsessive,

01:14:40because a single

01:14:41act of violence

01:14:42It can destroy everything.
