uh, on the other hand, the only thing i really splurge on is an experiential kind of thing. yeah like we talked about other than that, you know, i used to be the king of, you know, running credit card debt, and i just got to the point where it was just i was able to get out of there and i am very, very careful about i'm not going back. been there. done that. not doing it again. awesome a great show today. thank you guys. so much for your opinions. i know people at home watching have thoughts as well. send us your like it or not questions or record yourself asking that questi . you could se it here >> i'm anna garcia. >> right now on true crime news. >> he's the dwi. >> king. >> the police sergeant known for busting over 3000 drunk drivers. >> can you not put both hands behind your back? >> a hero to many, but not everyone. >> you guys ruin. >> lives. >> and you won't believe what

his cameras capturing. >> keep your hands up. keep your hands right there where you see them. >> we joined him on a ride along. plus, a hospital technician spent her days working to save lives in nashville. but her own life would end in tragedy. >> knowing that someone threw my sister away. it's the most heartbreaking thing. >> the shocking place her body was found and her family's fight for answers. thanks for joining us. each year, more than 1 million people in the united states are arrested for driving under the influence. and you can only imagine how many people are driving while impaired that don't get caught. well, in new mexico, there's one officer who is so good at busting drunk drivers. they call him the king, but instead of a crown, he carries cuffs. if you ever happen to be in albuquerque, new mexico, and you decide to go out partying, then get behind the wheel, even a little tipsy, you'd better hope new mexico state police sergeant toby

lafave is not on duty because he will catch you. >> put both hands on my on my dash right here on this thing. can you not put both hands behind your back? so today i have made approximately over 3000 arrests in my in my career. >> it's like he has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. >> lafave has surpassed the previous record holder, who had 2800 arrests. this patrol officer has the most dui collars ever in new mexico state police history. >> actually, it was one of his field training officers, and you could tell from the get go that there was something unique about him. he just had that ability to have unparalleled work ethic, and he was constantly striving to do better and outperform the next officer in the field. >> dirty bourbon. >> dirty bourbon. okay. >> how did you get on i-40? >> according to dui.org, new mexico is the second most dangerous state in the country when it comes to drunk driving.

they're working hard to bring that number down with sobriety checkpoints and to bring awareness up with a glossy ad campaign. >> when you wear this badge, you see. things most people never see. >> two public service announcements star sergeant lafave. >> the look on the face of a wife, a mother when i have to tell them that their loved one is dead because of a drunk driving crash. that's still the toughest part of this job. i guess there's a reason why this badge sits right over my heart. >> sergeant lafave is so well known for his record. he's even earned a nickname, the dwi king. >> i have, i've had other agencies, and so my partners kind of mock me. i don't think it's a bad title to have. i mean, i've been i've been called a lot worse in my 20 years of law enforcement. if someone believes i'm the i'm the king of dwi, i'll take it. i'll be ten from the 81. i have two, ten, 12 temporarily. >> during our recent ride along,

sergeant lafave shared some of the telltale signs he looks for noé headlights, swerving, difficulty staying within the lines, driving too slow, and once he's pulled a car over, there are other dead giveaways. >> a lot of these impaired drivers don't want to make eye contact with the officer, for fear that we're going to see their bloodshot, watery eyes. there's no reason why somebody should have on a newly applied body spray. for example, at two, two, three in the morning. that's a that's a pretty good clue that somebody may be trying to hide the odor. the elite paper the elite napkins the elite amounts of gum, five, six pieces all at one time, just to mask the odor, which it doesn't mask it. i mean, you can still smell it. >> he's about to pull this car over because it's going the wrong way on a major interstate. after he boxes the car in, it, hits his squad car and tries to back up, not knowing what to expect, the sergeant draws his gun. >> turn your car off. turn your

car off. keep your hands up. keep your hands right there where you see them. >> this is not going to be a good night for this young woman. >> open your door. open your door! >> open your door! >> get out of your car. get out of your car! >> she blames her mistake on a bad sense of direction, but sergeant lafave doesn't want to hear it. >> it's literally just like my wrong bad with directions. >> okay. >> well, you know, you're wrong. bad directions. what you want to call it could have killed somebody or yourself or us or me or my partner. >> i know, and i don't want. >> that, but nobody wants it. but it happens. okay. how much? how much did you drink today? and be honest with me. >> no, i'll be honest with you. i had, like, maybe two tequila sodas and, like, one tequila shot. >> as blood alcohol content goes up, the quality of vision, reaction time and coordination go down to gauge just how under the influence someone may be. sergeant lafave administers a series of tests every time he pulls over a suspected drunk or impaired driver. >> alphabet will recite them

forward from the from the letter h, as in henry stopping at the letter r, as in robert. >> h i b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s q r okay. >> walked to the front of the police car. >> this driver will not be getting a gold star tonight. >> put both hands behind your back. you are under arrest for driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and or drugs. >> sergeant lafave takes her back to the station, where she blows double the legal limit on a breathalyzer. she takes a plea for aggravated dwi and driving the wrong way. if she completes a 9 to 12 month sentence, the dwi will get dismissed. if she gets another, this one will count. >> it is just a normal day. but yes, i mean, i still go home feeling good about myself, you know, knowing that i saved at least one one person's life. >> not all interactions go this smoothly. people pull guns

sometimes there are kids in the car. sergeant lafave has seen it all, but he's about to see even more. >> how's it going? >> good. how are you? >> good. what's the hurry? >> when we come back, sergeant lafave pulls over a car racing at over 100 miles an hour. and guess who's in the driver's seat. >> okay, i'm going to check your eyes real quick, okay? and it's very, very, very uncomfortable for me. >> on the next true crime news. the horrific murder in a college town. i just want to see my. >> any of my friends, just like he's unconscious, like there's blood everywhere. okay, listen to me. >> a beautiful college student bludgeoned to death. >> i believe she knew her killer. >> the cryptic note the murderer left behind. was it a vendetta? this was a jealous person. but the big break comes when cops discover a disturbing clue at a m straight to an unexpected suspect on the next true crime

news. >> hi, i'm ellen. >> i'm portia. >> we're talking to cameras that are in our living room about kind science. >> i used to think the more. >> money i spent on my skincare, the more effective it would be. the better it would be, the better i'd look. but it's not true. with kind science, my skin feels cleaner. it feels more hydrated. i noticed a difference in my skin. i noticed a difference in yours. people see you and they make a big deal about your skin. and it feels really good. and that's all thanks to kind science. tons of customers have seen results. the bags under her eyes. yeah, it looks smooth. yeah. smooth. smooth. well, who doesn't want smooth? who doesn't? so here's what i'm going to do. something i've never done before. i am going to give a kind science. generous deal. clever. yeah, because my name. i got it, yeah. okay. what are you offering? you'll get four of my favorite products. the gentle cleanser, the micro exfoliant, which i love. i use it as a mask. and

we're back with the d-w-i king, sergeant toby lafave. he holds the record for the most dwi arrests in the history of the new mexico state police. and in his 18 year career, he has seen it all. but there was one bus that even surprised the

sergeant. >> so this car in front of us. i've been watching him for a little while. it seems to be having trouble keeping the vehicle in just one lane. >> it's just another day in the life of sergeant lafave. >> so how much? how much do you have to drink today? >> i don't know how. >> to answer that question. >> because honestly, actually, was it one beer or two beers? no beers. there's one. there's one beer. okay, you stand right there on my light. stand on my light. >> he begins his usual battery of tests to gauge the driver's level of impairment. >> so a finger? yes, sir. follow my finger tip with your eyes only. don't move your head. any questions? >> i'm a little nervous. >> gotcha. why are you nervous? >> how can he not be nervous? >> all right. ready? i'm ready whenever you are. watch my police car. yes, sir. walk straight to the front. take one step to your right. right here. tell me about the license plate.

put both hands on my. on my dash right here on this thing. okay, now put both hands behind your back. okay, so listen to me right now. i'm about to tell you something very important. okay? you are under arrest for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and or drugs. >> can we just go home? >> you go home after the judge sees you. >> the driver repeatedly asked sergeant lafave if he can just go home as the officer holds his ground. the young man becomes more agitated. lafave keeps cool. >> do you see why i hate law? you see why. >> you're welcome. i saved your life tonight. you're welcome. >> sir. you didn't save my life. you're welcome. you guys ruined lives. that's what you have to tell yourself to feel good about yourself. that's sad. it's a civil war. ever breaks out. you're going to be the first guy i'm headhunting. >> what do you want to make threats. >> i'm not threatening you. >> is that what you really want to do? >> not threatening you? >> do you want to know the

charge? do i hold anything personal? absolutely not. at the time, he's more mad at himself. but right now i'm the closest person to him. so of course he's going to blame me for his. for his bad choices. >> after 18 years in law enforcement, sergeant lafave understands a thing or two about human nature. sometimes that means taking extreme measures, like performing a pit maneuver to pull over an uncooperative driver. sometimes a case will touch him in a way he didn't expect, like this woman driving with her six year old niece in the front seat. >> of my life. i can't. why can't you? >> because i am intoxicated. >> after arresting the antay, sergeant lafave gets choked up when the little girl wants to show him something in the trunk. >> peeke menhart. >> you might not expect a seasoned officer with thousands of arrests under his belt to get emotional. but every once in a while, a case reminds him of when his own kids were young. >> the child has no say in where she goes, who she goes with. it just my emotions got the best of

me. the little girl school was. school was about to start, so she got out of the car and she was showing me her brand new pink converse that she got in the trunk of the car. and it was sad that the six year old was was the adult here? >> what's the hurry? >> but one of lafave's toughest cases involved one of his own, an albuquerque police officer going 112 miles an hour on his way into work. a midnight to 8 a.m. shift. >> when'd you last drink alcohol? yesterday. okay. let me check your eyes real quick. >> okay. >> this is the first time i've ever done field sobriety tests on a person in uniform. it was very, very, very uncomfortable for me. >> sergeant lafave caught flack from fellow officers after arresting jordan hernandez. >> aside from being known as the dui king, now i'm also known as the officer that will arrest a fellow officer. and that's fine. i have a job to do. i got a career to worry about. if i was placed in the same position tonight, i'd do the exact same thing. >> hernandez failed his sobriety test and refused a breathalyzer. he was charged with aggravated dui, speeding, and failure to

maintain a traffic lane. hernandez pled guilty to dwi and lost his job in law enforcement. a month after this traffic stop. moral of the story? doesn't matter who you are while driving impaired in the state of new mexico, the dwi king will catch you. >> it's kind of like a cat and mouse game. people are out after work drinking in a bar. i'm at home getting ready to go to work. and eventually our paths are going to cross. hopefully it will be a life changing event for them. >> sergeant lafave told us that he actually ran into not one, but two of the men he arrested at his gym, and both apologized to him and told him they're doing better now. up next, a young medical technician leaves her friend's apartment after a night out, and it's the last time she's s n alive. >> we knew something. >> was wrong. >> if you have wet amd you never want to lose sight of the things you love.

>> we get it. >> some things should stand the test of time. long lasting ilia hd could significantly improve your vision. more people on ilia hd had no fluid in the retina compared to those on ilia at four months. ilia hd is the only wet amd therapy that helped. eight out of ten people go up to four months between injections after three initial monthly treatments. if you have an eye infection, eye pain, or redness or allergies to ilia hd, don't use eye injections like ilia hd may cause eye infections, separation of the retina, or rare but severe swelling of blood vessels in the eye. an increase in eye pressure has been seen. there is an uncommon risk of heart attack or stroke associated with blood clots. the most common side effects were blurred vision, cataract, corneal injury, and eye floaters. and there's still so much to see if you are on ilia or a similar type of treatment, ask your retina specialist about ilia hd today for the potential for fewer injections. >> if there's a true crime you think we should know about, call the true crime news

closed captioning and other considerations for true crime news provided by. >> i spent most of my life. >> as a teacher. >> and. >> i've always enjoyed. >> helping others. >> after a couple of. >> years in retirement. >> i realized i have a lot more to give. and that's when i became a visiting angels caregiver with my life experience and love for people, it was a natural fit. seeing jeannie so happy warms my heart. and if you need your heart warmed to come, join us and make a difference together in someone's life. >> visiting angels, america's. >> choice and. >> home care. >> take a pea sized amount. apply it like a lotion. pitt's underboob thigh folds, butt cracks. feet. >> this water. >> based cream. i'm telling you, it's invisible on the skin. it works like a dream. why didn't someone think of this sooner?

>> welcome back. we turn now to nashville and the murder of a medical technician, ashley brown. police and ashley's family need your help solving this case. a week before christmas, ashley brown, a surgical technician at saint thomas hospital in nashville, is out with a group to celebrate their december birthdays. the arizona native has only lived in music city for nine months, but she's already settled into her job and started to make friends. >> she loved. >> being around people. very outgoing and she always loved to smile and laugh and have a good time. >> she just loved what she was doing and she was so happy being able to travel everywhere. and that was just such a highlight of her life. >> the night starts on the holly trolley transit busses running through nashville's downtown. from there, the group hits a local pub. finally, they head to

an after party at a friend's place near vanderbilt university. >> then they all took an uber back to the friend's apartment. >> little do these young friends know, their festive friday night on the town will soon end in tragedy. saturday comes and goes. no one hears from ashley, not even her beloved little sister heather. >> and that's when i started to get really worried. >> panicked, heather calls her stepmom in tucson, who reaches out to the people who spent the night with ashley. she hears something that spooks her. >> they were cleaning up the apartment and realized her purse was still there. >> along with ashley's wallet and car keys. >> we knew something was wrong. >> the family files a missing person's report, holding hope that ashley will show up at work the next morning. when she doesn't, they immediately board a flight to nashville, but they are soon at a loss on what to do next. >> there's no manual on how to search for your missing child. >> they start where ashley was

last seen. the park central apartments on 25th avenue north. >> we were doing anything and everything we could think of, and the biggest thing that we could think of is to get her face out and to talk to people. so we just got in a batch of fliers. >> four days after ashley was last seen, the browns finally get news, but not what they had been praying for. >> and the guy introduced himself as the chaplain. and the next words he said, i really didn't register because knew at that point that. and then we he said that they found her body. >> disbelief and heartbreak and. >> ashley's body is discovered five miles away from the apartment building where she disappeared. when the family asked the coroner exactly where their daughter's body was found.

>> he wouldn't tell us. he finally gave us a street she was found on. we went ahead and drove to that street, and that's when we saw. >> the unimaginable. >> that it was a trash facility. >> it's hard enough to say they had found her body, but like i said, when we rounded that corner in the car and just saw the piles of trash, it was it was devastating. >> knowing that someone threw my sister away is the most heartbreaking thing. it all just it doesn't make sense. >> it's devastating. ashley was found just one day before what would have been her 28th birthday and four days before christmas. >> when she went missing. she was supposed to come down and we were going to celebrate christmas and her birthday and everything. >> now her family is left only with a search for answers.

again, they start with the people who were with ashley the night she disappeared. >> there was one girl she knew from the hospital and the rest of them she just met that night. >> virtual strangers. her stepmom is convinced somebody knows something, but they're not saying much. not even the host of the party. >> we text with her. when we first got there, and we were supposed to meet up with her, and she was going to show us the apartment. >> but the woman suddenly changed her mind. >> she did not feel comfortable meeting us anymore unless the police were present. >> reportedly, witnesses did tell police brown stepped out for a cigarette around 4 a.m. and never came back. while the initial autopsy ruled the death inconclusive, it was later changed to homicide. ashley, it turns out, died from blunt force injuries and strangulation. a violent and tragic end. >> we have to live with her

absence the rest of our lives, and that will always be something that's in our hearts and in our minds, is why. >> investigators reportedly said they have some leads they are following and some physical evidence to work with. but nine long years after her murder, ashley's family is still with no answers. now, nashville police hope someone will finally step forward to get justice for ashley brown. we'll be right back. >> oh. >> sometimes my moderate. >> to severe plaque psoriasis. >> gets in my. >> way. >> but thanks. >> to. >> skyrizi, i'm free to. >> bare my. >> skin clearer. >> i feel. free to bare my skin. yeah, that's on me. nothing is. everyday. >> with skyrizi. i dramatically.

>> clearer skin. and many people were 100% plaque free. skyrizi is just four doses a year after two starter doses. >> don't use if allergic, serious. >> allergic. >> reactions, increased infections or lower ability to fight them may occur before treatment. get checked for infections and tb. tell your doctor about any flu like symptoms or vaccines. >> nothing and me go hand in hand. nothing on my skin. that's my new plan. nothing is. everything. >> now's the time. ask your doctor about kyrizi, the num r i bought the team! kevin... ? i put it on my chase freedom unlimited card. and i'm gonna cashback on a few other things too! starting with the sound system... that's caaaaaaaaash. cashback like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?
