00:05when you think of life in the suburbs and you look at those big beautiful houses you think
00:10nothing bad can happen of course until it does to open up your own business that's the American
00:19dream from a Korean perspective Robert cheese murder was kind of a crack in that dream all
00:25he did was work he did everything you know for his family the entire Asian American community
00:32was on edge there was a tremendous amount of fear this is an all-hands-on-deck we're gonna get
00:41these
00:41guys the thing about it that was so bizarre was that brutality it looked like in almost an entire
00:50raw duct tape had been used this is about one of the worst ways you can die because of the
00:55danger of the community we needed to identify who these people were so that we could take them off
00:59the street I don't think people realize how much deeper it really went he's literally in the car
01:07with a co-conspirator to his father's murder now we have to go in to the family's inner circle and
01:14really deliver a bomb
01:39philly's a city built on the American dream immigrants coming here for generations working
01:45hard building better lives but in 2009 for one family a dream turned into a nightmare at the time
01:58I was a detective in Ben Salem not far from where this homicide happened and across Philly we were
02:04seeing a spree of attacks on the Asian community but the brutality of this crime set it apart and the
02:10truth behind it would stun us all it was January 9 2009 just before 6 a.m. and that particular
02:27morning I was already out and about I was in my office and I received a telephone call from my
02:35boss
02:36who said you need to go to 139 Glenmont Drive in the North Wales section of Montgomery County
02:42Pennsylvania he told me that 9-1-1 received a telephone call from a woman who reported that her
02:49house had been robbed the woman on the line is Janice Che and she's calling from her neighbor's home
02:59she tells police that she and her husband have been ambushed and her family is being held hostage in her
03:07home Janice has escaped but her husband Robert son Richard and daughter Mina are still trapped inside
03:16that time of morning you can get around pretty good so I was there very quickly as I drive up
03:21the
03:21scene I see numerous Montgomery Township police cars I see yellow crime scene tape already
03:28the first responding Montgomery Township detective gave me a brief overview of what they found when
03:34they arrived there officers had forced entry into the home the offenders had already escaped and they
03:48found Richard Che and Mina Che bound with duct tape the kids are alive 22 year old Mina and 29
03:57year
03:57old Richard and then they took me inside to do a walk through the garage is an attached garage and
04:06to gain
04:06access you can either do it through the outside garage doors or you can enter from the kitchen
04:13before I even stepped into the garage I saw the victim lying on the floor bleeding duct tape tied up
04:23his
04:24hands were zip tied behind his back and the duct tape was so extensive that only his nose and nostrils
04:30stuck out I didn't understand why it was necessary to duct tape his head they wrapped his head so many
04:38times it looked
04:39like an almost an entire roll duct tape had been used 58 year old Robert Che is pronounced dead at
04:49the scene
04:51we needed the crime scene unit all the members of the homicide unit I was able to tour the crime
04:58scene
04:58it's always important helps you with your questioning my memory in the walk through the house specifically
05:06was of a photograph of Robert Che in a South Korean military uniform and learning that he was special forces
05:21for South Korea and he
05:24was an immigrant to the United States as I was gathering information at the location I learned that the victim
05:33had been a
05:34business center the beauty supply store and suburban station in Philadelphia I worked with the chase at
05:43Penn Center Beauty Supply for a good five years I really loved the cha family and they opened their arms
05:52to me and
05:53the love that you felt from them it was like a given in the community they were not as nice
05:59to one person they were
06:01nice to everybody Robert was phenomenal he was just really funny and he worked so hard when he came
06:14to USA Robert came from South Korea he said it was really bad he did he said he came from
06:21poverty he came here with under a
06:25thousand dollars my father like a lot of members of the community knew Robert and that he was you know
06:38just a great
06:39hard-working loving man he and his wife Janice worked very hard at their jobs and they just essentially wanted
06:49to
06:49outlive the American dream he was always working like he didn't take a break it's all he did was work
06:58work so
06:59they can have and it's like so unfair I just feel beautiful Janice alone you know
07:13the family was extraordinarily upset inconsolable but what's paramount early on is to interview
07:22Richard Che, Mina Che and Janice Che as effectively and quickly as possible Janice cooperated fully and gave
07:33the best descriptions that she could give about what took place in the home that morning Janice Che told
07:41investigators that around 5 10 a.m. she and Robert were in the garage area of the home preparing to
07:48leave to go to their business in Philadelphia it was typical for them to start two days very early in
07:53the
07:59morning as they were leaving their garage they were ambushed one man specifically heads towards Robert beats him up
08:11restrains him with duct tape Roberts left in the garage then the other men forced Janice into the house
08:20the men who committed this crime were not wearing masks Janice was able to look at their faces and she
08:27was able to describe clothing and builds and that they were african-american and it's an armed robbery
08:35there's multiple guns brandished Mrs. Che told me that they asked her where the safe in the house was
08:43and they forced her up the steps to the bedroom where the safe was and made her open they wake
08:52up her
08:52children and then she and her children are tied up and duct taped two of the men returned to the
08:59second
08:59floor of the home and one of the intruders was left to guard Janice Richard Amina with a handgun
09:10and he's making and getting a number of phone calls and it appears as though this man is angry going
09:18back
09:18and forth with the phone calls to the other men in the house Janice says that after a few minutes
09:25the assailant went upstairs leaving her and the children alone Janice is able to somehow break free
09:32goes running to a neighbor's house and then is able to make that 911 call
09:42the offenders discovered her escape and they themselves quickly escaped because the obvious
09:48fear is that she is summoning the police and in fact their escape was probably so close they might
09:54even see police cars because this all happened within just a couple minutes them leaving and the police
10:00arriving it's a harrowing account and detectives find one detail especially troubling the intruders who
10:08came into the chain house had no facial coverings and that concerned me because why would they take the
10:17chance of coming in with their face exposed the fact that they're not wearing masks could be indicative
10:26of their intention to kill people and leave no witnesses to describe their faces what were their
10:33plans with the others in the house would they have been killed had it not been for Janice's escape we
10:39thought that was possible Janice tells the police that these men were able to get about twenty thousand
10:45dollars some jewelry and purses that were stored in her safe
10:52we took Nina and Richard and Janice to Montgomery County detectives to have a sketch artist come and
11:01make composite drawings of perpetrators and we had a flyer made up and distributed at the same time the crime
11:12scene unit systematically go from room to room and collect evidence police find zip ties they find a lot
11:20of duct tape they find a folding knife that has blood on it and they also find a piece of
11:28a latex glove
11:31that evidence went immediately to the state police lab for processing the turnaround time sometimes is long
11:39but we requested a rush on it because of the severity of the crime and the danger of the community
11:50we needed to identify who these people were to take them off the street with the neighborhood about
11:56to learn that one of their own was brutally killed and three armed men are on the loose
12:01Santorelli's team races against the clock we had a meeting to discuss all the facts that we had learned
12:07and the discussion circled back to the cell phone usage Janice Tay was able to observe that the
12:16offenders were talking on their cell phones often Janice did not elaborate what was said but there was a
12:22lot of conversation back and forth one of my responsibilities during that era in homicide was
12:28cell phone research and it was relatively new at this time but as far as local authorities we
12:35were on the leading edge of things that hour of the day is important for us because it's a low
12:42cell phone usage time not many people spend a lot of time on their cell phones between 5 and 6
12:46a.m.
12:49I was excited about what we could find through cell phone research if we can identify those phone
12:55numbers we're gonna get these guys coming up the people behind this crime they knew this house had
13:06a safe someone had given them inside information about the home everyone was just horrified by the
13:13level of betrayal he's been talking to the killers that's where the chase are staying we have to get this
13:20family out of there in January of 2009 in the quiet Philly suburb of North Wales neighbors wake to horrifying
13:33news Robert Che a local businessman was murdered in his own home and three suspects are on the run now
13:43data
13:43from their cell phone usage may be the key to stopping them before they kill again we created
13:54court orders for the cell phone companies that used the towers closest to the Chetty house to pull all
14:01the phone numbers that came off in and out of that tower during the time the robbery was taking place
14:09cell phone research takes time so the district attorney Montgomery County authorized thousands
14:14of dollars be spent for expedited cell phone record delivery and then you painfully wait for it to come in
14:26our next steps forward with the investigation we're gonna try to do neighborhood canvas
14:34the tiny town of North Wales could be described as picturesque suburbia it's about 25 30 miles away
14:41from Center City Philadelphia it's a bedroom community so people are traveling in and out of the city every
14:48day to go to work the North Wales area has a rather large Korean American community and so the support
14:56system is really there by other members of the community a lot of the Koreans that are living in
15:01the North Wales are business owners but those businesses are primarily located in the Philadelphia
15:06area the neighbors really didn't have anything that was beneficial to us and no surveillance video
15:19that we found had anything that could help us within hours journalists and news crews are also on the scene
15:27we get out there and we want to talk to neighbors we wanted to know more about the family we
15:33wanted
15:33to know what happened we wanted to know how neighbors were feeling people were too afraid to open the door
15:40because they felt scared having a homicide within our local community is unheard of it really shocked and
15:49just devastated everyone their neighbors had just been targeted could they be next there are murders that
16:00are run-of-the-mill murders this is not this is one that stands out and everybody who heard about
16:05it
16:05knew it stood out so the coroner's office acted accordingly and assigned a pathologist to do the
16:11autopsy of Robert Che within hours of his murder they determined that he had several blunt force trauma
16:19injuries and that he had bled profusely and because his face was taped there was no place for the blood
16:32to go
16:32but down his throat
16:40mr. chase death was due to asphyxiation from his own blood
16:50Robert died a slow painful death
16:55the thing about it that was so bizarre was that brutality
17:01in your average suburban burglary it is almost always have an unoccupied home
17:07many are during the daytime and most burglars avoid contact with the homeowners
17:14in contrast these offenders that robbed and killed Robert Che intentionally encountered the family
17:21and it seemed unnecessary to beat him to the degree they beat him to successfully complete the robbery
17:29so we wondered why that beating took place the other thing that I thought was very odd was they
17:35specifically asked Janice J where the safe in the house was the people behind this crime they knew
17:42this house had a safe it seemed apparent that there was inside information in play here they were
17:49intercepted in their driveway at an early hour which suggests they knew something about their habits
17:55that suggested targeted violence so it was important to us to ask the people that know them the best they
18:04work with them family members is there somebody who disliked them
18:11in the first week following Robert's murder the detectives interviewed a lot of people through
18:19these interviews a picture of Robert Che begins to emerge
18:26Robert made work fun he made you feel like it wasn't a job they would bring their family sometimes
18:34to work the sister would come the nephew Richard and Mina they would just run around the store and it
18:41was like home to them you know what I mean
18:45he was a lot of times they would order dinner if they had like the clothes laid if we were
18:54still putting
18:55away inventory we'd all eat and feast he would feed everybody he was out to help others you know at
19:06all times
19:06he did employ a few homeless men and they were there for years workers here say this is the first
19:13time in
19:1325 years his shop lights were off so at 6 a.m. they knew something was terribly wrong he was
19:20a great guy
19:20everybody liked everybody down here liked him he was around all the time he was here every day
19:30to be successful is to work hard save enough money open up your own business
19:35that's that's the American dream as far as from a Korean perspective
19:41Robert Chee's murder was kind of a crack in that dream
19:52he was a respected man and everyone who knew him said the same things about him they were all positive
20:01he did not have enemies
20:07we had to shift our focus
20:09we had to look for other possibilities
20:15as investigators continue to hunt for answers
20:18news of the case reaches another jurisdiction of Philly's law enforcement community
20:23during the Chee homicide I was at Delaware County District Attorney's Office working as a special victims
20:29prosecutor doing a lot of outreach to various communities particularly the Asian American community
20:36it was the end of 2008 where we saw a series of home invasion robberies against the Asian community
20:43I had never actually seen anything quite like this
20:46in a short amount of time there was approximately 14 or so
20:52the trend was very unique in terms that they were being followed from their place of business
20:58the homeowners were present in the home when it occurred
21:02and being tied up in their homes
21:04when I heard about the Chee homicide
21:06I wondered immediately whether it was related to this series of home invasion robberies
21:12and when Montgomery County detectives asked the Philly DA's office about similar crimes in other districts
21:18they start to connect the dots
21:21method of entry into the house
21:23what was taken
21:25use of guns
21:27what happened at the Chee house
21:29and all the crimes that they learned about and recovered reports on
21:34were very strikingly similar
21:44as detectives dig into Robert Chee's murder they begin to explore a connection to brutal home invasions happening across the
21:52region
21:53a lot of business men and women were being followed from their place of business in Philadelphia to the surrounding
21:58suburbs
21:59they were specifically targeting Asian people because they believed that Asians were more likely to carry cash have cash in
22:07their home and less likely to notify police because of a language barrier or some other cultural barrier
22:15detectives head to Robert and Janice's shop
22:17determined to find out if this was in fact where the Chee's first became targets
22:23we did recover several days worth of video surveillance from the Chee's beauty store in Suburban Station
22:31it's not a one watch process
22:33it's a watch pause rewatch
22:36watch pause rewatch
22:38one hour footage may take you three hours to view
22:40it's painstaking work
22:44one of the detectives
22:45noticed someone in a video came close to the description that was in the composites that we had
22:52we identify somebody we think could be involved by their appearance by the way they're acting in the store
22:58and that's when we had the Chee's view that portion of the video
23:05they could not identify that person that we were keying on as anyone who was in the home that day
23:13you got your hopes up only to hear that it was not in fact your offenders
23:17so there's a lot of ups and downs with this
23:19there's a lot of exhaustion
23:23with the suspects still unknown and at large the threat to the community remains
23:28especially in neighborhoods like Philadelphia's Koreatown
23:32in the 1970s South Korea was such a poor country and with various immigration reform
23:38a lot of folks from South Korea just realized that America was the land of opportunity
23:43so you saw an influx of Koreans that came to the Philadelphia region
23:48when other Korean business owners were notified of Mr. Chee's stabbing death
23:53it sent a chill through the community and a warning
23:56be careful
23:57we reach out to the Korean community and explain that they need to be vigilant about their surroundings
24:04we really emphasized and encouraged business owners not to keep their same routines
24:09if they thought they were being followed we asked them not to drive home
24:12but drive to the police station instead
24:16no one is more aware of the danger than the Chee family
24:19and they aren't taking any chances
24:22after Robert Chee was murdered
24:24Janice Chee, Richard Chee and Mina Chee did not feel comfortable going back to their home to stay
24:30her husband had been brutally murdered in her home
24:32and at this point police don't have any suspects
24:36no one's been arrested
24:38they were still out there and they might have an interest in harming the Chee's
24:44even killing them because they obviously are important witnesses to the murder of Robert Chee
24:50instead they go live with relatives Robert's sister Anna, her husband Sang
24:55and their 25 year old son Angelo Shin
24:59the family was incredibly close the kids grew up together they went to school together
25:05Angelo grew up with Mina and Richard like literally like brothers and sister
25:12Angelo lived with the Chase when his parents went to Korea to visit extended family for nearly a year
25:21they're just a loving and caring family they would have opened the doors for anyone in need
25:26and I think that's the type of people that they were Janice and Robert
25:30so it was only natural that the Shins would now take in the Chase
25:33despite the danger that followed them there
25:37the Shins live only two miles away
25:40they too own a business
25:42they could be targeted as well
25:48we were canvassing the neighborhood again and we came across a trash collector
25:54who told us that two days prior to the murder
25:59early in the morning when he was doing his route through Gwenmont Drive
26:03he saw an SUV with three black males a few houses down from the Che house
26:10one of the men was standing outside talking on his cell while the other two sat inside the vehicle
26:14based upon what the recycling truck driver told us
26:18the people in that vehicle could have been the robbers that Janice Che described
26:24a suspicious car casing the house in the days before the murder
26:28suggests to police that somebody was planning this
26:30and if they can figure out who was in that car
26:34they're one step closer to figuring out who killed Robert Che
26:37a new lead has surfaced in the investigation of the murder of Robert Che
26:49a car seen circling the house a few days before his murder
26:55that is a big break because now we have a description of a person a description of a vehicle
26:59and we can research that further
27:03recanvass the neighborhood to see if anybody knows who the owner of the car is
27:07cameras which may shoot the major roadways which are near the Che's home
27:11which do give easy access to Philadelphia
27:14is something now we can research
27:16and to find places that will have surveillance video that they will share with us like other businesses
27:21private homes a convenience store
27:24so that kind of research is now taking place
27:27as this lead heats up the forensics come in
27:31DNA profiles were established from DNA left on the duct tape
27:36and inside the tip of the latex glove
27:40this is a promising find
27:44they found DNA from two different people
27:46and then they submitted it to CODIS
27:49which is a combined DNA database that the FBI runs
27:56but there were no matches in CODIS for those profiles that we had
28:01we had to explore other types of investigation
28:08cell phone records began to trickle in
28:10and we are organizing them and analyzing them as a team
28:17doing this type of work is like solving a puzzle inside a maze
28:20our goal is to identify phones that are in the same geographic location talking to each other
28:25we're not looking for a cell phone that's calling somebody in California
28:29we're looking for a cell phone that's calling somebody from this very same cell tower that services the Che home
28:34we identified three numbers that were in constant communication around the time of the murder
28:42both before and after the Che murders
28:44all three of these phones
28:46utilized cell phone towers in the city of Philadelphia
28:49miles from the Che crime scene
28:52but moved into Montgomery County
28:54into the Che's neighborhood
28:56at the time of the murder
28:59aside from the morning of the murder
29:01the three phones stayed in downtown Philly
29:04except one
29:05that pinged in Montgomery County on another day
29:14one of those cell phones
29:15was tied to the Che neighborhood in the early morning hours of January 7th
29:20two days before Robert Che's murder
29:23which was important because that tied that particular phone
29:27to the vehicle that the recycling truck driver had seen
29:31and the occupant of that vehicle
29:34the unfortunate part was there were no names attached to these phones that they were burner phones
29:41burner phones are tough
29:43but we've got our ways to trace them
29:45we can still track where they've been and who they've communicated with
29:48and by looking at when the phone was activated
29:51we can narrow down where it was bought and who bought it
29:57we will visit stores and ask the owners about timing of sales because you can see when the phone life
30:04began
30:05like you can see the purchase date and the activation date
30:08and you can see the first phone call the phone made
30:10so you're able to focus owners of stores on particular dates, particular weeks
30:16the challenge is that you've got Philadelphia metropolitan area
30:21that's a lot of phone stores to look at
30:24while teams canvas phone stores
30:27Detective Kuklins continues to analyze the three burner phones
30:31I'm running through one of the suspects burner phones call detail records
30:35to identify who they talked to the most the day of the murder
30:39and identify a number which this phone had repeatedly called
30:43the predominant Montgomery County area code was 610
30:48and it was a 610 number
30:50and that really stood out to me
30:53when Detective Kooplin searches that number
30:57he catches a break
31:01the last name of the user of that particular phone number
31:06was of particular interest to the case
31:10because it was a Korean name
31:12and I yelled down the hall to my fellow detective a couple offices down
31:17I said, who's Angelo Shin?
31:20and he said to me, that's the nephew, that's where the Chae's are staying
31:26and our concern immediately shifts now to the Chae's family's wellbeing
31:30because they're under Angelo Shin's roof
31:33the murderers have not been identified
31:35the murderers are still on the streets
31:38and the murderers are still in contact with Angelo Shin
31:42we have to get this family out of there
31:50Detectives learned one of the phones tied to Robert Chae's murder belongs to his 25-year-old
31:55nephew
31:56which means the Chae's are now living under the same roof
31:59as someone who was possibly involved in the murder
32:06we needed to find Angelo Shin
32:09and talk to him and find out why his telephone was communicating with these other three telephones
32:15that were in use during the robbery
32:18I called Richard and I asked Richard
32:20where can we find your cousin, Angelo?
32:25and Richard's response was, he's in the car with me right now
32:29and I said, who else is with you?
32:31he goes, my sister Mina's with us
32:34he's literally in the car, we believed, with a co-conspirator to his father's murder
32:39at that point, our concerns were already greatly elevated
32:44and that just elevated them even more
32:46was Angelo Shin desperate?
32:48was he sensing that we were going to find him?
32:50would he harm his family members to not go to jail?
32:54we had to get them to a safe place
32:57and separate Angelo Shin from the Chae family
33:01and so they calmly tell the kids
33:04could all three of you come down, we just have a few extra questions for you
33:07trying to make it seem as normal as possible
33:10so that Angelo doesn't get spooked
33:12and the kids don't know, he's their suspect
33:18they arrived at the police station
33:20we had three separate interview rooms ready
33:22we had a room for Richard, we had a room for Mina
33:25we had a room for Angela
33:29now, we have to go in to the family's inner circle
33:32and really deliver a bomb
33:36I sat with Richard in the one room
33:39and asked him about Angelo
33:42and he gave me the background that Angelo lived with his family for a period of time
33:47because Angelo's parents were in Korea
33:49and he asked me why I was asking
33:53and I said, well we believe he's involved in this robbery and the murder of your father
34:00he was actually speechless
34:07Angela's brought in for questioning
34:09he was not a big man
34:125'6", 5'7", not an imposing figure
34:17he's cooperative, he talks to police
34:20as if he doesn't have anything to hide
34:25and then police tell them, we have your number
34:29we know your phone number
34:31and the killer's phone numbers were talking
34:33that the two phones were active
34:35Angelo's shin was uneasy
34:37it was obvious
34:39Angelo tries to lie his way out of it
34:42he denies talking with the killers
34:45although detectives have concrete evidence of Angelo lying
34:48it's not enough to arrest him for murder
34:51so they took a break
34:53and they came out and talked to the assistant DA
34:57and had a discussion with him about what took place in the room
35:02and that's when the assistant DA said we need to get him a lawyer
35:06before he says anything else
35:08because we didn't want to cause any problems further down the road
35:12when it was time to arrest people
35:19I was contacted because Angelo Shin who had been a client of mine
35:23was a suspect and he was in police custody
35:26I had represented him on a matter a year or two prior
35:30in Philadelphia County
35:31it involved a marijuana charge
35:34that was resolved favorably on his behalf
35:37and so I got to know him in that capacity
35:40now David Mishak finds himself back at Angelo's side
35:44inside the police station
35:46they brought me up to speed with where the investigation was
35:49then I was afforded the opportunity to meet with Angelo
35:52now I had known Angelo from my prior representation as a young man
35:56no prior criminal record
35:57he's a young man that had graduated high school in Montgomery County North
36:01he had a year of college under his belt
36:04seemed to have a positive outlook on his future
36:08on his life
36:09was a very kind and respectful young man
36:15but when I met him that day
36:17I saw a young man completely distraught
36:22devastated by what had occurred and broken
36:28and guilt ridden as Mr. Shin was
36:31he immediately came clean about what he had done
36:38coming up
36:39it was like what?
36:41like no not the nephew
36:42not Angelo
36:44Angelo asked Paige
36:46why did you kill my uncle?
36:49he got $2,000 to turn on the people
36:52who took care of him
36:55it's sad
37:05with his attorney by his side
37:0725 year old Angelo Shin agrees to talk to police
37:11once Angelo Shin decided to confess
37:15we started to get a really complete picture
37:17of the planning and execution of this robbery and murder
37:24Angelo Shin had his own cell phone business at a store in North Philadelphia
37:29through having a business in the community
37:32he met a number of people on a day to day basis
37:37Angelo struck up a friendship with one of the people from the neighborhood
37:41who was self-admittedly a hold-up guy
37:44Joseph Paige
37:53Angelo Shin was a wannabe
37:56he wanted to fit into that neighborhood where the store was
38:02and at one point
38:04Angelo Shin told Paige about his uncle
38:12Angelo admits he'd been kind of showing off
38:16bragging that he knew how they could get their hands
38:19on $100,000
38:22Angelo tells police at first they were joking
38:24we could do this
38:25we might be able to pull this off
38:27but then Paige ropes in his friends
38:32Amathadi Latham
38:33Kyrie Pitts
38:34Robert Edmond
38:36Julius Wise
38:37and Sybil White
38:40they began holding planning sessions about committing this robbery
38:44and how they were going to do it
38:46Angelo points to Paige, Latham and Pitts as the three who carried out the robbery
38:51while the others assisted in planning and driving the getaway car
38:56he not only outlined what happened before the murder
38:58he outlined what happened after the murder
39:02and of particular interest was the fact that
39:05Angelo Shin traveled to Philadelphia to collect his share
39:09of the take of the Che robbery
39:13and his share was $2,000
39:19he got $2,000 to turn on the people who took care of him
39:26it's...
39:28it's sad
39:31there was some anger among the robbers that it wasn't $100,000
39:34and it was much less than that
39:36that was part of the conversation
39:38Angelo also tells detectives that no one was supposed to get hurt
39:43Angelo asked Paige
39:45why did you kill my uncle
39:49and he laughed it off
39:53and attributed to being the uncle's fault for fighting back
39:58the man was a warrior
39:59he put up a fight
40:06once we had the names of the participants
40:09everyone was rounded up
40:10and we take DNA samples from them
40:15the DNA found in the tip of the finger of the piece of the latex glove
40:20belonged to Joseph Paige
40:21DNA found on the duct tape belonged to Amitani Latham
40:26on February 4th
40:28they were all charged with the murder and robbery of Mr. Che
40:33as information came out of Angelo, his nephew's involvement
40:37there was a sense of shock for, you know, everyone
40:42a sense of disbelief
40:43it was just absolutely devastating
40:46and I couldn't fathom the amount of betrayal that the family would have felt
40:51it was like, what?
40:53like, nah, not the nephew
40:55not the nephew
40:57not Angelo
40:59Angel
40:59Angel was like his son
41:01that's the heartbreak
41:04Robert took him in like a child
41:06like it was his own son
41:07gave him everything and anything
41:10for that $2,000
41:12like, are you kidding me?
41:13like, really?
41:15mm-mm-mm-mm
41:18pisses me off, it does
41:29in 2010, the Planning and Getaway crew, Robert Eatman, Sybil White, and Julius Wise
41:35all plead guilty to third degree murder
41:46the other three went on trial
41:48Paige and Latham got life in prison, and Kyrie Pitts was acquitted
41:58Angelo Shin pleads guilty to third degree murder, and is sentenced to 20 to 40 years
42:05he's where he belongs
42:09Angelo made adult decisions
42:12and I believe Angelo got to pay for them
42:17Robert will never be free, he'll never be here
42:21if there was one thing that I could say to Robert right now, I would thank him
42:25just for his kindness, just thank him, just for being who he is
42:29you
42:30you
