8:01 am
killing 22-year-old nursing student laken riley is underway. we've been showing it to you all morning long bits and pieces of it and they took a short recess. we are watching all of this and we have a very special guest on this. he is the incoming border czar, tom homan. that's coming up. prosecutors charge 26-year-old jose ibarra with attacking and brutally murdering laken riley while she was jogging on the university of georgia campus in february. we are now hearing from witnesses. grief is spilling over among laken'mily members who are in court. her mom was crying as the prosecutor was describing the blunt force trauma that ended laken's life. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." ibarra crossed the border illegally and was released into the united states in september of 2022.
8:02 am
he had a criminal history in both new york city and georgia before he was charged with killing laken riley. paul mauro, attorney and retired nypd inspector says this. >> laken riley's murder coming in the same time era of things like rachel morin and the murder in texas began to wake people up to the fact the tda, tren de aragua migrants who were coming into country more organized than we realized. we began to realize we had a real problem here and not just locking up toothpaste for shoplifting reasons. we had people willing to commit these kinds of murders. >> harris: madison scar pino is at the courthouse in georgia. madison. >> good morning. someone from athens clark county 911 is on the stand. we heard from two of laken
8:03 am
rile's roommates looking for her. we've already learned a lot more disturbing details in this case. here is part of the prosecution's opening statement. >> on february 22nd, jose ibarra put on a black hat, a hoodie-style jacket, and some black kitchen-style disposable gloves and he went hunting for females on the university of georgia's campus. and when laken riley refuse i had to be his rape victim, he bashed her skull in with a rock repeatedly. >> the prosecutor played a 911 call from laken's phone. you can't hear voices just banging noises among long periods of silence.
8:04 am
prosecutors say based on evidence riley and ibarra's interaction was long before she died. she put up a fight. the prosecution says they know this thanks to modern day technology like the garmin watch and the app find my iphone and prosecutors showed surveillance video of ibarra showing a jacket in a dumpster. her family is very upset and sobbing during much of this. his defense said evidence linking ibarra to the crime is lacking. >> people have used this case for their own personal and financial gain and political gain. the evidence in this case is very good that laken riley was murdered. the evidence that jose ibarra killed laken riley is
8:05 am
circumstantial. >> ibarra's defense says there is no injuries consistent with sexual assault and the dna evidence in this case just is not strong enough. of course, harris, we know the death penalty is off the table in this case. it will be up to the judge, not a jury. if he is convicted he is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole, harris. >> harris: thank you very much. lakin riley is one of several victims what madison was talking about. others around our nation right now dealing with the scourge of suspects who came across the border illegally into this country. under the biden-harris administration. in "focus" now tom homan, former acting customs director and incoming trump administration border czar. a critical title at this moment. tom, we're exactly where you said we would be if we didn't
8:06 am
take ahold of the border sadly. >> it is. we don't know of all the cases where young americans have died at the hands of illegal aliens. a lot of the sanctuary cities don't take foreign national information. because you are sanctuary cities. they don't want ice to have access to information. so it's much worse than we imagine. here is this guy. i want people to think about this episcopal will i these democratic mayors and governors who say they put roadblocks what i am trying to do as i come into the border czar. talk to laken riley's parents and listen how this young girl fought to her life. she fought to not die. put yourself in her shoes and parents' shoes and tell me you want to put up a roadblock trying to remove criminal threats from the country. it is disgusting. >> harris: the 17 minutes or more we learned about in court today that were talked about in detail, tom, really do signify
8:07 am
exactly what you are talking about. they are calling it a fierce fight. and the dna evidence and all that has been collected is what they are talking about in detail this morning in court. i'm just curious, you have been protecting the country, you have been part of what keeps us safe for years. in this particular case, what is most troubling about how this has laid out to you. >> this was preventable. this administration came in and unsecured the most secure border we had on purpose. this person was not only released into the united states. given a free airline ticket to the city of his choice. given free lodging, free food, right now his attorneys are being paid by the united states taxpayers. they didn't have to do this. we had the most secure border in my lifetime. when president trump had illegal immigration 90 percent less.
8:08 am
how many young children weren't getting -- how many pounds of fentanyl didn't get into the country? how many women and children weren't sex trafficked? how many known suspected terrorists didn't cross the border. they opened the board and all these bad things happened. what they have done is borderline treason in my opinion. i've met angel moms and dads and i will not forget the stories. why do you get so emotional and yell at members of congress when you testify? the things i've seen in any 34 years and made me who i am. i'm sick and tired of the death caused by open borders. president trump's policies saved thousands of lives of migrants who make the journey. 4,000 migrants died entering the country. a quarter million americans. president trump's policies saved lives. this administration abolished the whole thing and we're stuck
8:09 am
with what we're stuck at. >> harris: forward and back a little bit. you mentioned the resistance that some of these democrat governors and leaders are having against what you and president-elect trump are planning to do. how do you fight that? and how do you then kick these people out of the country? >> look, i wake up every day and the world is upside down in these sanctuary cities and left leaning politicians. they want -- all of a sudden my dad was a cop, grandfather was a cop, i'm a cop. a family of cops. we're at a situation now the cops, the ones who want to enforce the law are the bad guys. the ones who break the law are the victims. for the mayors and governors who want to step in the way you can either help or get the hell out of the way. we are going to do this job. the american people gave president trump a mandate. we'll protect this country and force the immigration laws and look, i can't believe there is any mayor or governor who wants to push back on this. president trump has made it
8:10 am
clear we want to concentrate our priority is public safety threats and national security threats. what elected official doesn't want public safety threats and national security threats taken out of his community? for god sake's? >> harris: right their names down. getting the worst of the worst of the criminals who broke our first law of sovereignty 13,000 that we know of commoveded murder me their countries before they got here. yeah, i think it's pretty simple the american people have spoken. write those lawmakers names down if they didn't listen to those people who voted. i want to get to this. your focus has been on children. there are a huge amount who are missing and exploited. migrant children under the biden-harris administration. according to an august dhs report, the biden-harris
8:11 am
administration lost track of more than 300,000 migrant children. headlines from last year have been calling out this problem. former acting dhs secretary chad wolf put it this way. >> the trump administration is probably going to have to initiate a pretty large program to find the over330,000 children the biden and harris administration have lost in the immigration system. we have a child smuggling and trafficking crisis because of the policies of this administration. you have to take steps to reduce that and disencourage those children to come across the border to put their lives in the hands of cartel members. you can't simply sit back. >> harris: we have seen the dhs secretary in front of congress in the last year or so and they were trying to put forth they are 80 to 85,000 of those children they know the whereabouts of. first of all, how do you lose 300,000 people who may or may not be legal in this country and
8:12 am
under age? that seems unfathomable. >> secretary mayorkas is an embarrassment to the position he holds. under this administration more than half a million children have been trafficked into this country. this administration released them to unvetted sponsor. they stopped the dna program to see if they were actually family numbers. vetting minimum. they were more concerned about overcrowding. they are worried about the optics of the crisis. if there is no overcrowding there is no border crisis. release the children at record pace. he bragged how quick they released the children. they can't find over 300,000. president trump is committed to this. he has three rails. number one we'll secure that border. at the same time we'll do a mass deportation operation, third rail is president trump is committed to finding these over 300,000 children and saving them. based on my 3 1/2 decades of this work many of these children are sex trafficking today and forced labor, we found many in
8:13 am
forced labor and many children are living with predators. president trump is committed to trying to locate these 300,000 children and get them back to their families and save their lives. it will be difficult. children don't have footprint . a digital footprint or credit cards or pay bills and driver's license. tough to find them. we have to find the sponsor and find out what the hell they did with these children. president trump is committed to find every one of these children and save them. >> harris: you and i have talked about this on a regular basis. the incoming border czar, congratulations on that. i look forward to future conversations as we try to move forward beyond what has happened in this country with these kids kids. we'll go back to the laken riley trial. thank you for being with me. appreciate it. all right. so this is the police officer who found the body of laken riley. let's watch. >> aren't entirely uncommon but
8:14 am
any time they come in as a supervisor it perks up our ears so i started following the call to figure out what was going on and dispatched myself towards that call. at the same time to see what resources may be needed to help begin whatever was going to come from that? >> did you meet about the 911 callers? >> i met them at the entrance to the intramural field deck approximately 12:17 speaking with us. >> and did they provide you with any data that you were able to use in an attempt to locate laken riley? tell us about that? >> yes. they showed me a screen shot. it was where they were tracking her phone on some app. i'm not sure which app it was. i asked them to get that to my email and sent to other officers working to have an idea where to begin the search. >> tell us about the area, the intramural field and trails
8:15 am
behind it? are you familiar with them working for the police department? >> very much so. the front part is a bunch of open sports fields. it is open for different collegiate-type intramural activities. there is a big parking deck in the middle where we met with the caller and toward the back you get to the tennis courts and the practice marching band and back side of that is the the large wooded area that's maintained by the university as well. >> and that large wooded area, is that large wooded area located in athens, clark county, georgia? >> yes, it is. >> so what did you do once you obtained the location data? >> once i had the screen shot i got back in my patrol vehicle and drove to the back of the intramural fields where the trails begin based on where the screen shot was showing the phone was pinging. i had a rough idea how to get there. another officer arrived on scene and directed them to go from the opposite side of the trail i was
8:16 am
going to enter in from. >> how did you have an idea where the screen shot was coming from? >> one, i'm relatively familiar with the trails. when i was on bike unit we rode back there and used things like google maps to see the actual layouts of the individual trails. >> may i approach the witness? snow here is state's exhibit 45. >> the large retention pond toward the back side where one of the trails on. the back side of the rogers road university village housing. >> using that could you show the court in which way you entered the intramural fields and trails? we've already talked about it. if you can show the court. >> i would have been from when upper area side of the trail. there is a bridge that connects over here and i would have
8:17 am
entered from this side and then over bridges, came down this trail here which hooked up from the actual roadway on the back side. i had him coming from this side and i was coming from the other side so we could meet in the middle. >> once you entered the field, how long did you have to search the field? >> i think i searched for approximately 21ish minutes. >> what were you looking for? >> pretty much anything that would give us an idea one, if she was indeed missing. or sometimes individuals may get hurt. i asked dispatch to check hospitals and things like that. sometimes people get hurt. pretty much any signs she may have been out there or anybody out there acting weird. i think i also had them screen on a picture from social media to send to my email to have a rough idea what she looked like.
8:18 am
we have people i come out here and unplug myself and don't want take tock take anybody. we didn't know at this point what we were dealing with. >> may i approach the witness? marked for identification purposes as state's exhibit 15. do you recognize this? what is it? >> yes. i believe this should be some of my footage from the deck. >> when you were searching for laken riley were you wearing your department-issued body cam? >> yes, i was. >> did it record your actions that day? >> i turned my camera on as i entered the bridge to go over into the trails. >> and the state's exhibit 15 contain a fair and accurate recording of your body cam footage on february 22, 2024? we request permission to public. >> it is admitted. >> your honor, what we did for
8:19 am
the hearings that we had in this case state's exhibit 15 contains two hours worth of body cam video. the state does not intend on playing all two hours but the other side is welcome to play whatever parts they want to play of the body cam video and again when we are referring to state's exhibit 15 we'll be using the utc time stamp in the top right corner of the screen for records purposes so that they'll know what we're talking about. there are two different time stamps. we want to use the axon time stamp. for the record, sergeant maxwell, publishing state's 15. if you could tell us -- yes, sir. >> so i suspect what we're about to see is the victim's body
8:20 am
there. i am going to offer for anyone that is here to step out if you want to do that. i will pause and allow you to do that. >> may i have a moment? >> more difficult. >> your honor, thank you for that opportunity. a few people have left. the others are insisting upon staying and i have cautioned them to refrain from any statements about it. if you could, sergeant maxwell, using the top right-hand of
8:21 am
state's exhibit 15 tell the court the date and time and make you do the utc conversion. >> so it looks like at the top right it will be february 22nd and it is 17:21. which would translate to i'm on mid nights, about 5:21 according to that. >> that's utc. back it up five hours, 12:21 p.m. 12:21 p.m. is when you start hitting the trail and what is it that we see right in front of you? you have your cell phone. >> i was pulling up the screen shot of the location on google maps and this is the bridge i took to cross over the lake to start the trails on the other side. >> we can see the wooded area as the video is playing. tell us about the woods in general. >> they are pretty well traveled trails.
8:22 am
there are some very more clearly marked ones wider that are about the size a vehicle could drive on them and also connecting trails that bicyclists or pedestrians would use. >> we heard audio for the first time at 17:22. >> we had a 30 second buffer when we activate the camera. it captures 30 seconds prior to activating the camera, just the video, not the audio. >> what i will do is fast forward a little bit and again anyone can play whatever parts they want to of this and i am going to go to 17:28 which is 5:28 p.m. for the record. state's exhibit 15 and we will start to play it from there. tell us where you are in the
8:23 am
intramural fields. or that area. >> it looks like it will back further on one of the larger trails that circles from the back. it would have been the main trail that circled on the picture earlier from directly back from the street. >> can you see the trail in state's exhibit 5 and show where you are now. >> it should be right around here near the bend of this trail. >> all right. >> is that you looking at your phone again? >> yes.
8:24 am
>> you can stop calling for now. >> who were you talking to at 12:29. >> dispatch. when i first stepped into the wood line i wanted to hear an audio alert to where her phone may be. i didn't hear anything so i told them to go ahead and turn it off to try to conserve battery. >> i want to stop here at 12:29. can you see the running trail from where you are at? >> yes. >> so we can get oriented. show us where it is. >> you can stop calling. >> do you see it? >> it will be on my right-hand
8:25 am
8:26 am
>> how long did it take you to find her? >> from the original call it would be about 21 minutes from this area once on the field. looks like it would have been closer to about seven or eight minutes. >> how would you describe that vegetation? >> not super think necessarily but a lot of vines and thorn bushes that interweave. not super difficult to walk through but it was catching my
8:27 am
uniform every now and then. >> how would you describe the lighting there? >> decent. not overcast. >> i am going to fast forward on state's exhibit 15 to 12:34. do you see that in the right-hand corner? do you see the running trail on state's exhibit 15 at this point? >> yes. >> is that what you are facing? >> yes, it is. >> okay.
8:30 am
8:31 am
8:32 am
one, two, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. go back. one, two, three, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, take a look. looks like blunt force trauma to the head. shirt removed above her breasts. one, two, three, four, five, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. look at the where that phone was pinging at. one, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 --
8:33 am
>> i'll stop it right here at 12:40. let me ask you a few questions, sergeant maxwell. we hear a whistle. is that you whistling? >> yes, it's my control whistle. >> why are you whistling? >> to help other responding units to help figure out where we were at. >> we heard you describe it. tell us for the record when you observed laken riley first of all, how would you describe her clothing? >> so it appeared her clothing at least her shirt had been removed to up above her breasts. it did not look if something add unintentionally happened. it was more intentional as if somebody had attempted to remove her top or used it to drag her. >> at some point did you all have to remove her top? >> yes. >> in order to continue cpr?
8:34 am
>> yes. >> how did you do that? >> some of us carry trauma sheers and we used those to cut off her clothing. >> who was the other officer? >> corporal mason bridges. >> you were working together with cpr? >> yes. >> at some point does ems arrive and you all have to move -- physically move her body. >> yes, i believe it was before ems showed up when athens clark count fired showed up. she was laying in a divot it would be better to move her to the side for better compressions. >> were either of you wearing gloves? >> no. >> are you okay? okay. here we go. [whistle]
8:35 am
>> when you first saw her, was she covered by anything or how would you describe how she was when you first saw her body? >> yes. she was laying slightly on her side and appeared she had some leaves and other vegetation placed on top of her. >> take a left and you should be able to hear it. [whistle]
8:36 am
8:37 am
>> applying pads. bare chest. analyzer being directed. analyzing heart rhythm. do not touch the patient. [whistle] >> [inaudible]. >> cpr now. [whistle] >> [inaudible] >> you're okay. okay. >> 45 seconds. >> that person you all were talking to at 17:44. who was that person? >> it was one of our interns. >> she is with you. >> she was riding the corporal
8:38 am
bridges that day. >> continue. [beeping] >> continue for one minute 30 seconds. [beeping] . >> so why did you have to cut the clothes as we saw as opposed to taking the clothes off? >> whether the agent asift he attempted to take them off but they were really tight bound up basically to make it so it was very difficult as well as some of her extremities were starting to become stiff. [beeping] >> continue for one minute 15 seconds. [[inaudible] >> continue.
8:39 am
[beeping] >> continue for one minute. [beeping] >> continue. >> is that everything? >> continue. >> did you notice anything about laken riley's clothe beneath her waist? >> yes. so she had on a pair of running leggings and looked like in the front side her underwear was bunched towards the top and. >> was her naval exposed? >> yes. ] beeping] >> continue. continue for 30 seconds. >> can we see that now in the underwear as you described it at 17:45 for the record, 12:45?
8:40 am
>> yes, the cord for my whistle is covering it. >> you see her underwear now? please point to it for the court. >> down here is kind of peaches or tan color. >> sticking out of the pants in the middle of the frame? yes? is it in the middle of the frame? >> yes. >> and that's at 17:45 for the record. >> continue. [beeping] >> continue for 15 seconds. >> right here. >> continue for five, four, three, two, one. stop cpr. analyzing interrupted. do not touch the patient. analyzing heart rhythm.
8:41 am
analyzing. >> i'll move a little bit to fast forward a little bit until you move her and so for the record i am going to go three minutes ahead. since i am jumping ahead instead of playing that could you tell the court what happens in the three minutes before you moved her? >> we continued to rotate back and forth between aed instructions and giving compressions. the fire department would have shown up as well. >> who is the other officer who arrived that we see? >> sergeant epps would have been the officer. >> at this point it is you, sergeant epps and officer bridges? >> yes. now, do not touch the patient.
8:42 am
analyzing heart rhythm. do not touch the patient. analyzing. no shock advised. it is safe to touch the patient. ending cpr now. >> one, two, three, four, five -- 18, 19, 20. 21, 22, 29, 30. >> one minute 45 seconds. [beeping] >> who found her? >> i did. >> continue. [beeping] >> continue for one minute. >> negative. pull her to flat ground to get
8:43 am
better compressions. >> yes, sir. >> one minute 15 seconds. >> all right. [several people speaking at once] >> go ahead. >> grab this. >> now at 17:50 or 12:50 is that when fire took over cpr? >> yes. >> is this location where you found laken riley's body in athens, clark county, georgia. >> yes. after fire takes over cpr what do you do? >> at that point i suspected it wasn't an accident based on the circumstances where she had been found and communicating we began to set up a perimeter to preserve any evidence. i believe a crime had occurred.
8:44 am
we set up a pretty wide perimeter from that location outwards. not exactly sure how far it was. i myself weren't up to the more northern side of the main trail and stood there until i was relieved. >> i have am going to just -- take out this -- [inaudible] . >> how long did you stay on the scene that day? >> i was there -- let's see, in my narrative i think i had until about 3:20 in the afternoon when i was relieved by another officer at that perimeter. but i was on scene for at least a couple more hours.
8:45 am
>> that's all i have, your honor, i will pass him. >> cross-examine. >> thanks, judge. >> i am going to -- if somebody will let them know if anybody wants to come back in i'll do that and i will leave that up to them. >> thank you, judge. >> i will try to keep this brief. is it sergeant maxwell? >> yes, it is. >> when you arrived on the scene, ms. riley's pants were on, is that correct? >> correct. >> pulled up above the waist? >> to the waist, yes. >> okay. and the only thing that you noticed about her pants was that her underwear was up above her waistline, is that right? >> correct, it was bunched up in
8:46 am
the front. >> and her shirt was pulled up, is take right? >> yes. >> and the way that i heard you describe it on direct was that it could have been removed, is that right, by someone? >> it happened to me as if somebody may have attempted to remove it but they left it on. >> or had used it to drag her, is that right? >> potentially. >> okay. did you notice any bloodstains around her ankles? >> i did not. >> okay. did you notice any injuries to her ankles? >> i did not. >> okay. could this shirt have also come up if she were dragged by her feet? >> i would have to speculate potentially. >> you don't have any personal knowledge of how the shirt was
8:47 am
pulled up, is that right? >> no. >> okay. and how far off of the trail would you say she was when you found her? >> at least 50 feet. >> okay. and it wasn't obviously when you started looking for her it wasn't obvious where she was. >> no. >> okay. did you notice anything about the area surrounding her that looked disturbed in any way or is that just not something that you are necessarily looking for at the time? >> exactly. it wasn't something i was looking for at the time. >> that's all the questions i have, judge. >> redirect? >> sergeant maxwell, when you were conducting cpr on laken riley did you take the time to study the number of layers of clothing she had on her top? >> i didn't specifically do
8:48 am
that, no. >> do you know how many layers she had on? >> i think maybe three. >> and you said her pants were pulled up above her waist. what do you mean by waist? >> i guess waistline would be above more like the hips but below the navel. >> was her navel exposed? >> yes. >> that's all i have, your honor. >> anything else? >> nothing further. >> you are excused. any objection? >> no objection. >> you are excused. >> how long will your next witness take. >> >> harris: i tell you, i could not look away, i know some of you from social media also could not look away. sometimes because of children in the room you muted.
8:49 am
but this is our reality right now. our border has let millions of people in that we did not vet and this suspect is one of them. he came across the border. he was released into the united states and not enough could even be gathered about some of these people to tell us who would be the worst among them. and that was in 2022. look where he is. look where we are today. sergeant kenneth maxwell found laken riley and thought he could save her. he couldn't. congresswoman kat cammack of florida is with us now and of course we did not know what we would be talking about in detail right now, congresswoman. i know your husband is in emergency services and is an expert on this type of rescue. >> yeah. >> harris: just top line
8:50 am
thoughts. i know it was hard to watch but we have to see it to know the truth. >> harris, that was tough. i actually didn't get to watch the tape and i could only hear the body cam footage which in some ways felt a little bit worse because hearing that officer do those compressions on laken riley probably knowing in his heart that she was gone but he was going to try anyway, that just broke my heart into a thousand pieces and for her family to be in the room listening and watching the moment when their daughter, sister and friend was found, it just had to be heartbreaking, heart wrenching. my husband has been on so many of those calls where he is summoned to rescue someone and begin compressions and hearing the officer try so desperately to revive her just hits home. it just makes you wonder how many more of these situations do
8:51 am
we have to face until this administration takes action? i think we know the answer. they won't. and that's why come january 20th when president trump takes office we'll secure the damn border and put an end to this. >> harris: the incoming border czar, tom homan, was on with me at the top of the hour and he said who doesn't want these criminal illegalss, the worst removed? i said, congresswoman, write their names down, those lawmakers who say that they don't want to catch the killers that we even know are here, those illegal that we even know are here and can vet. >> think about this, harris, there has been a four times amount increase in illegal violent crime since joe biden took office. that is everything from rape, assault up to homicide. how many more angel families have to be created before people will stand up and take notice?
8:52 am
it is absolutely absurd that we have allowed 11 1/2 million people into this country unvetted. people where we know they have records, gang activity that we can monitor. horrible records that would never be allowed in here. what the democrats did for four years is pretended there wasn't a crisis at the border and when it became impossible to ignore, then they said we are going to do something about it but in fact their faux bill would have made the situation worse. what their endgame wasilewski about votes. that's all it has ever been about and willing to risk americans' lives to do it. shame on them and they all -- they absolutely owe laken riley, michelle morin and little 12-year-old jacquelin and so many more an apology. >> harris: i mean jocelyn nungaray was just 12 and tom homan said there are so many murders we wouldn't know about
