03:10they've killed anyone sylvana she didn't deserve this they opened this place with a 330 grand 25 years
03:18ago she was my first hire she was more than an office manager she worked miracles she wasn't
03:23supposed to be working late last night most likely she surprised them they panicked do you have any
03:28security cameras that might help us id them no even if we had the funding and believe me we don't
03:34kind of people that come to us for help not the kind of people that want to be on camera
03:38hmm what kind of people would that be we run a free clinic we cater to low-income families the
03:44unhoused illegal immigrants do you see any drug-seeking patients addicts we see everything
03:48we don't turn anyone away but we don't prescribe irresponsibly keep any drugs in these cabinets
03:55no all drugs are kept in there sylvana was in charge of our drug storage she was a rule follower
04:00there's just old patient files in there we'll figure out who did this but we are going to need
04:05to see a full pharmaceutical inventory all right everybody listen up if this robbery at the rest

04:18have now escalated to murder we will not let them strike again now we are down one jubal valentine

04:29robbery happened around 10 45 last night we are combing traffic and street cams in a 10 block radius of
04:34the
04:34clinic around that time still running plates but no red flags yet all right keep running them if we
04:39can't track down the crew let's follow the score do we know what was stolen from monthaven yes the
04:44clinic owner dr rusk provided his pharmaceutical inventory uh like the crew's previous robberies
04:50cleaned out the entire narcotic stock largely pills once they hit the streets they're impossible to track
04:55pills maybe but it looks like monthaven also carried ketamine nasal spray it's used in psychotherapy
05:01to treat depression anxiety ptsd harder to repackage for street sales comes in a unique bottle
05:07stamped with serial numbers it's a schedule three narcotic and according to the dea's national drug

08:33also
08:33haven't been to jersey in like five years dude for real so i'm guessing it wasn't you that killed the
08:38woman at the motthaven clinic oh no killed yo i definitely have not killed anyone if there was
08:44someone else in your crew i'd suggest you give up a name because someone is going to go down for
08:50the murderer savannah morales
08:53oh my god
08:55yo i have never seen that lady before in my life and i don't have a crew okay i'm nobody
09:01man i just
09:02happened to buy some cat spray after some guy some guy what guy so you want my help now then
09:10tell
09:10this chick to drop all the charges she just spat at me yeah i'll tell you what you prove yourself
09:17real useful and this chick won't pin you down with second degree murder okay okay it was some dude named
09:24greg i don't know his last name come on stop playing with us you've got to know something
09:30about your supplier no he's not my supplier okay he's just he's just some pill head i sell to sometimes
09:36and he showed up early this morning trying to dump a bunch of cat and you didn't have any questions
09:40about why one of your customers would want to sell you product i'm an idiot okay don't buy drugs from
09:45people you sell drugs too but man he was way under charging i thought i was getting lucky
09:53okay jesse luttrell claims he bought the stolen ketamine spray from a guy named greg in isham park
09:58around 6 a.m this morning okay pulling this morning with polecam footage from isham park all
10:03right if jesse is telling the truth that means this guy greg could be a murderer okay here is jesse
10:09luttrell
10:14and he's got company
10:19can we find out who this car belongs to and get a gps location on it that model jeep isn't
10:23equipped
10:24with gps too old but running the plates zooming in well that's cat spray so that must be greg well
10:31cars registered to a greg warwick to be specific bronx local works mostly unemployed the last five years
10:37some short gigs in fast food service multiple stints in court mandated rehab after charges of
10:42possession and petty theft that doesn't sound like someone who's part of a highly organized robbery
10:46crew does he have any connection to jersey negative and no known associates so either he joined up with
10:53a different amateur crew or he acted alone he went into that clinic to score some drugs things went bad
10:59either way an innocent woman was killed all right kelly i want you to dig up everything you can on
11:05greg
11:05werrick ian ping his phone i want to know where he is right now
11:12greg werrick's phone stopped moving somewhere around here
11:18there's the green jeep maggie that's the doctor from the clinic
11:25fbi let him go help help me drop your weapon
11:32shots fired shots fired
11:40get him go go go go go
11:44the engine's fried
11:46ops end send backup and medical to our location dr franklin rusk has been abducted by two suspects
11:52into werrick's jeep cherokee we're unable to pursue
11:59tell me you have found that jeep and whoever's driving it the jeep's no help now traffic cam's lost
12:04at a couple blocks from rusk's house uh no pings on the plates they might have ditched it
12:09we need to understand why these people would abduct a highly respected doctor from a clinic
12:14they just robbed there is a nexus here we are missing what about greg werrick's phone is that still
12:19in play no when maggie and oa took him down his phone was on him ert is bringing it in
12:24right now
12:25hey uh we found a connection here uh we cross-referenced greg werrick's history to see
12:29if he's ever been to dr russ monthaven clinic before the robbery turns out that he petitioned
12:34to file a medical malpractice suit against dr rusk a few months ago he got denied was beyond statute of
12:40limitations so this could be a personal grudge what was the malpractice claim well his wife maybe
12:45delivered their baby at dr russ clinic three years ago baby died shortly after birth greg werrick
12:53wasn't just part of a robbery crew he blames this doctor for his child's death this is about revenge
13:10all right looks like greg werrick's baby died at the hands of dr franklin rusk three years ago
13:16allegedly due to malpractice we think that's what's fueling us
13:20okay well the driver of the jeep was a woman maybe werrick's wife they would have the same
13:24motive yeah mimi werrick looking into her so you think that greg maybe incited his own justice against
13:30dr rusk and the clinic drugs were just a bonus and the manager was wrong place wrong time well
13:36that's our working theory well unfortunately it doesn't look like mimi werrick was the driver of
13:40that jeep her phone's been pinging all morning at hudson university she's a continuing education student
13:45boy she's got to know something bring her in
13:50i'm sorry greg's gone and i hope you find dr rusk i do but i don't know anything about this
13:56you don't seem too surprised to hear about your husband's death
14:00i'm not greg has od'd four times since i met him
14:04you think i'm a terrible person no my sister's an addict and loving someone with that disease you kind
14:12of expect to hear bad news all the time greg and i used together for a long time then i
14:20bottomed out
14:21i got clean he didn't so we separated we haven't talked in months so you weren't aware that greg tried
14:28to sue dr russ for malpractice for the death of your baby i was but that was the last time
14:33we spoke
14:33i didn't want any part of it okay and why is that it wouldn't bring my daughter back
14:39i have worked hard to accept what really happened that day to be honest greg couldn't do that he
14:46blamed dr rusk i blamed myself you said that you got clean when was that after our daughter after she
14:56died
14:59i'm sorry we just want to know what happened
15:05i was high during childbirth
15:09i was in and out when i came to in recovery dr russ told me my daughter was gone
15:19it was so high i don't even remember holding her
15:26greg wasn't acting alone dr rusk is still in danger is there anyone in greg's life that you
15:32think could be tied up in this greg pushed everyone away
15:40but if he confided in anyone i might know where he met them according to mimi warwick greg attended
15:49meetings at the hope alliance religiously what do we know it's a national organization for grieving
15:53parents 1300 chapters five in the city alone i pulled up their social media page and i got greg right
15:59here barbecues toy drives seems pretty involved well who is that couple they're with greg in almost
16:05every photo uh let's see facial wreck processes them as amy and lyle brewer yonkers residence amy
16:13worked in sales lyle was a commercial freight driver past tense noted lyle caught possession
16:19charges a few years back lost his job amy was laid off shortly after well that sounds familiar grieving
16:25parents struggling with addiction so greg could relate to the brewers uh in more ways than one amy
16:32and lyle brewer also lost a child 12 years ago at the mott haven clinic and dr rusk was their
16:39physician
16:42all right let's get a team to their home now
16:59we need an ambo now cover me hey hey
17:10dr rusk
17:14dead cancer i can see them now
17:20all right we got it thank you
17:22sit up hey look at me hey where's your husband where's lyle
17:27amy there's a dead man in your house do you understand that look we know that you blame
17:32dr rusk for the death of your child no no you have it all wrong what do i have wrong
17:37our babies
17:38they're still alive dr rusk stole them
17:52i told you i don't know where my husband is you're not listening to me dr rusk lied he told
18:00us our
18:00babies were dead so he could steal them amy we are listening to you but according to medical records
18:05your son died 12 years ago due to complications from maternal drug use no i was sober during my
18:11pregnancy but my labor was 14 hours lyle was out of town on a job so i was all alone
18:18and i caved and
18:19i took the epidural and passed out while i was pushing when i came to dr rusk said
18:26my son was dead amy i'm not done two weeks ago i saw my son on the subway 12 years
18:36old
18:38handsome my big eyes lyle's goofy smile i lost him in the crowd but he's alive amy forgive me but
18:45how can you be so sure you're not a mother are you i'm a step mother it's different a mother
18:53can tell
18:56did you ever go to the police we did they didn't believe us we had no choice we have to
19:03find him
19:04he's still our son you had a choice you chose to kill dr rusk and the head of his clinic
19:10sylvana
19:11morales who no i didn't go into the clinic it was just lyle and greg i didn't know that they
19:22killed
19:23anyone they they were just supposed to steal the files to help find the children well was there
19:28anything in the files that supports your story no just our baby's death certificates
19:33that doesn't mean that it isn't true lyle thought we could grab dr rusk get him to tell us where
19:41he
19:41sent our son but then the fbi was there and greg died and we panicked and brought him back home
19:49and that's when you killed dr rusk we questioned him but he denied everything and
19:58lyle was amped up of a meth and he got so violent i begged him to stop but he kicked
20:05me out of the room
20:05but then lyle came out and said dr russ confessed he confessed and told us where to find our son
20:14all right where's lyle now i don't know okay
20:20even if i wanted to i can't help you find him
20:26i mean trafficking schemes like this do exist the hicks clinic in georgia stole and sold over 200
20:33newborns in the 50s and 60s and there were hundreds of adoptees out of china and south korea who were
20:38stolen from their birth parents sold to unsuspecting americans so while amy's story does feel
20:43far-fetched yeah either way she believes it and so does lyle brewer he thinks he's going to find
20:49his son alive based on something dr russ told him if we want to figure out where he's headed we've
20:55got to look into amy's story live in their reality or other people are going to get hurt
21:04do you believe her doesn't matter i don't know but a grieving couple could come up with
21:13a conspiracy theory like this to help them cope i mean amy's an addict that makes her unreliable
21:18but also incredibly vulnerable she was an easy target for dr rusk
21:24we need to step into lyle brewer's shoes lyle believes that dr rusk stole his infant child
21:31is it at all possible that he's right well dr rusk is a respectable physician he graduated
21:36upenn md from johns hopkins he's got no criminal history and he and his mod haven clinic are
21:41community pillars so he'd stand to lose a lot with a criminal scheme but plenty of financial gain
21:47couples have always been willing to pay a premium for newborns okay let's say dr rusk was selling
21:53children kelly what's on the money trail we we checked his bank accounts they're clean what
21:58about the clinic's financials well the clinic operates as a non-profit mostly small donations
22:03thousands over the years there are some higher value donations huh different sources but all the exact
22:11same amount forty thousand dollars now that sounds like a price point one of these donations was made
22:16three days after dr russ signed the death certificate for amy and lyle's baby same for the warwick baby
22:23they all come from different adoption agencies ian i want to run down on all those adoption agents
22:29elise when was the first forty thousand dollar donation 2010 with the most recent one being
22:35just six months ago is it actually possible dr rusk was stealing and selling babies for 15 years
22:46we're gonna have to find out how many potential victims we're looking at here he'd have to have
22:51a broker that helps him with the sales adoption agents adoption agent singular the different agencies
22:57all seem to be owned by the same man barry katania got him right here uh dix hills resident been
23:04in the adoption field for 20 years and hey he went to business school at hopkins the same time
23:09rusk was there for med school this man might know where lyle's son was sent if dr rusk gave up
23:15katania's
23:16name after being tortured that's lyle's next target this killing spree ends now
23:34oh my god
23:35oh my god
23:37oh my god
23:38oh my god
23:47sit down hey hey look at me hey look breathe hey hey breathe no no why did you save me
23:56what happened
23:57here they found me
24:02who found you this guy i i don't know what are you doing here we know what you did barry
24:10we know about the kids you stole 24 newborns and you destroyed their families i i took those
24:17children from attics parents who weren't fit to conceive let alone raise a child
24:21i saved those kids put them in stable homes gave them a future that wasn't your choice to make
24:28don't play it off like you weren't making a profit
24:31now do you know that man is he the one who came through here
24:34i i don't know i i've never seen that man my place was was tossed when i came in here
24:42we knew we'd been caught this is lyle brewer he is one of the birth fathers he's looking for his
24:47son that you stole 12 years ago we need to know where you placed him i i don't know i
24:53i've handled a
24:54lot of adoptions well you must have some files a way of knowing where they are i did but whoever
24:59broke
24:59in here they took everything i might be the only one who knows where his son is he's not going
25:04to
25:04stop till he finds him
25:13amy we verified your story dr rusk was seemingly involved in a scheme to traffic newborns
25:22and your son may not have died at birth it's quite possible that he was stolen and placed with
25:27another family who where is he we're narrowing that down but we're not sure however we do believe
25:36that your husband knows and that he's headed there now so we're running out of time here
25:44these are holiday cards from the adoption agent where your son was placed they're sent from adoptive
25:49parents as a thank you see if you can recognize the boy from the subway lyle's gonna find our son
25:55we won't help you stop them amy you said no one believes you we believe you we just have to
26:00prove
26:00that your story is true and you can stop someone else from getting hurt we have to find your husband
26:06first you said that he's on meth amy what happens if he finds your son in that state lyle would
26:12never
26:13hurt our child what about his adoptive parents they've got nothing to do with this you want to risk lyle
26:18hurting
26:19them or killing them please
26:38no he's not here
26:44that's him
26:49what's the law since

27:47corinne and bill adopted son tofer live on west 88th street and tofer's birthday aligns with the death
27:55certificate of amy and lyle's son yes tofer's birth certificate was issued three days after the death
28:00certificate same day katanya made the donation to rusk so amy's maternal instinct was right all
