1:30 am
and then he told us that andrew was a competent, short form. it asked for you to do is to do some buyers for me. and were you that to wear away or you have to go buy marijuana? i didn't even know what that was. and i had no idea what he was, even talking about what that meant. me each individual we do, we have do 2 deals. okay. so you are thinking, well, this is susan, the andrew how can he, how can this have you been talking about the same guy? i mean, just agent, whoever told us that they believe or he believed that he, andrew was on the run because he had to make these buys by may 1st and he only done half of them. you don't check with me if i lose contact with you. i'm just going to assume that you don't want to work anymore, and then i'm just going to the warrants or your us and then in jail. so you're
1:31 am
going to keep, i was just blown away. i mean, here my fun is missing and, and now they tell me he's a drug dealer, or i maybe got them in make sense to me. but none of that made sense. nothing made sense. i mean, tammy is didn't know what to do. i mean, as far as what even to believe really and and where to turn in. and then sergeant helgren's son wanted us to do a press conference. we love you and we want you. we need to come home. everything will be okay. we pleaded for andrew on that news. conferenced come in like they wanted us to have him turn himself in. we love you and we want you
1:32 am
home with us. everything will be okay. mm. i frankly not recall the ride or anything because you know, we up and left and i was kind of in freefall. it just seemed like it was snowballing rapidly. ah, everything seemed to be fine. i mean, there were no red flag name, nothing. that's what's making this so difficult for us as law enforcement it's i mean the read me the in
1:33 am
the school, the individual, some other students put together. and they asked me to talk eric and i said some words for a little speech and begun farm to come home. like if you are in trouble or just come home, want to help your friends most of the electrical programs, era as far as the faculty and students, you know, people are pretty generous and they're going to give up their time and they're gonna, they're going to form these search parties and they're going to go, you know, scour wherever law enforcement has identified as, as potential places to walk me to campus police. obviously, i'm gonna go back to class that basically turn to say where you don't want anymore . students going missing. i was like, what makes no sense? is there a black hole, pine tree somewhere that you didn't tell anybody about and people are falling into it? mm. we went just to places that we had gone. where is when we guy go cruising or
1:34 am
something always smell can really drive down all the roads. we go and spend our heads together and try our hardest to find something, get some sort of clue as to what happened or where he was or, and what was going on, but didn't come up with anything and started to seem like there was something else going on and we learned that the college police department was the ones investigating this situation by campus. police are supposed to make sure that you behave, make sure you're following the rules of the campus. if you snuck bearing the room, look out for the campus, police, that's their job. the campus police should have turned the situation over to another agency immediately. they just don't have the experience and training
1:35 am
necessary to deal with the situation. i. andrew sad n d s. the student that disappeared on may 1st last seen leaving is dharm at the campus of the article to state college sciences parents are john and tammy tammy. good to have you on news in the morning. give me an evaluation of where this search for andrew is that basically don kohls off with as far as the campus police are concerned. and we're, we're not going to stop looking for a living else. and that's be, it's a living hell. and july is the funds that are other so it's, it's really a bad time a year. and now he's gone to how do you feel that the state college of science has been in dealing with this situation?
1:36 am
to me, it seems like they're not doing anything. andrea case just made me feel frustrated, but once you start hearing the other stations are having just as much difficulty getting basic answers, you realize there's something more going on. people were just trying to come up with theories and i think that's natural when you don't have a lot of answers, you want to find something me i would say probably after the 2nd week started having some notes about how tall it is on be in. take care of their investigative skills, are pretty limited as science when i could see, you know, we thought that they were probably doing his best. they could, i don't know. i guess they didn't seem to frantic about trying to find him,
1:37 am
i guess. but i asked him if they had checked with any of the other surveillance stuff in town in all as far as simeon andrew are seeing a movement as his car moved. you know, i said, what did you check with the train and the and tax season and any of that stuff if it's andrew gotten any of that and checked in fargo, and he anybody's seen him there or anything like that. oh no, that's a good idea. i think it was just i don't know what they were doing. i mean the other than waiting for a phone call, i guess i don't understand what you're doing. this went on for i say, weeks and not the trash news today. folks in the andrew static case, the young man we've all been searching for since he went missing on made 1st. and now warrant has been issued for andrew's arrest. static is wanted on drug charges.
1:38 am
details are these charges are still emerging, but andrew was allegedly caught selling marijuana on 2 occasions on april, 4th, and april 9th, 2013. 1 sale was for 20 bucks. the other was for $60.00. the was like, are you kidding me? all of this for $80.00 worth of pot. my fun is missing for $80.00 for it says part i was wild wild. show me a campus where you cannot find $80.00 worth of time me . i remember waking up the news that he had been charged, i'll say, what is this? i was this even the thing they can do this is completely, are trying your friend home. and now you're going to throw some kind of bogus
1:39 am
charge. yeah. like i had not put it together at all. how does warm does happen now that he's gone missing? what crime did he commit? where did they see him? what? like how to, why is that happening now? so i knew it was, everything was a confusing little mess for a while. they're like that whole month was the most confusing thing that's ever happened. the end of the filing, the warrant, i think on monday, and they thought the other police have to get involved. you know, just kind of everybody's looking for them then i think that was the reasoning for filing the charges so that kind of shut down the public's willingness to help. nobody wants to look for a drug dealer. my own mother to this day, the leads that andrew was a drug dealer. anybody that knew him knew there was more to the story. i
1:40 am
assume that, you know, he just took off and this is just more than he can handle. but at the same time i, i had this idea that, yeah, but where's, where's it going? where, where is he going to go on? me? you're going to be original often that we see that if you don't check with me and contact with you, i'm just gonna assume that you don't want to work anymore in that i'm just going to the lawrence general the me, i was having a panic here, sitting in the pedicure chair, with my feet in the water and surgeon helga soon called he said, what are you doing? and i said, i'm having a petty carrying those are you alone?
1:41 am
and i'm like, no the girls here. you know what he goes. whereas john and i said he's on a fishing trip, get him home. me. i was actually fishing with my buddy's just can i get a weekend away? ah, tammy had called me that they had found a body in the river and i knew it was handed. ah, i just got to the house and of course were waiting. the sheriff showed up with tammy's pastor, and told with andrew, ah, president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is
1:42 am
1:43 am
who, the fund i make no, certainly no borders and the blind number t's as emerge. we don't we don't the back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people judge, you know, come crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in your own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us it makes us feel very proud that we are together
1:44 am
in i mean, you know, it's like whereas he, you know, it's all different. so when you finally, when they finally found the body and i knew that he was dead, and i remember just like i couldn't keep my eyes drive because this is just like the reality. now, you know me is tough to i mean, deep down, you kind of knew it has been a long time. you just didn't want to accept it. and phillips back in the phase, ah, ah,
1:45 am
ah, in the surgeon how hinson, calm us. i grad john. every time he spoke, it was something new and bizarre. he said andrew was shot in the head and he had a backpack or rocks tied to them. that's when he told us over the phone. he believed it was us as suicide. he was just waiting on the coroner. and once he found the gun, it would be confirmed that it was
1:46 am
a suicide. to me. so the 1st day i'm at tammy, she decided i'm gonna talk to the news. so i walked and i didn't know what to expect, you know what i mean, we had heard about what was happening, but i didn't know i was just walking into this. and tammy said my son was killed and i had to call my producers like, hey, this is actually your story today. i know you just wanted me to get a sound bite here, but this is your story. she says her son was killed me. andrew sonics, mom tammy sat. i spoke at a local radio station today saying she believe her son was murdered. we discovered that when andrew was found on june 27th, he wasn't wearing the same clothes he might missing in cameras. in his dorm caught this footage, he was last seen wearing this sweatshirt,
1:47 am
but when his body was found, he was wearing a different jacket. ah, he was shot in the had his backpack was weighted down and he was thrown in the river, the backpack. iraq's was kind of the kicker for me. and like if you're going kill yourself, you can do that anywhere. why would you need to make your body disappear? who, who andrew was shot with a 22. andrew went into the red river and he came up on the minnesota side of the red. ringback between him leaving that dorm and when he was shot, there was a change of clothes. there were rocks in the backpack for me personally, andrew is murdered. makes more sense of what the cops could come up with. and all they could come up with is a suicide. like wow,
1:48 am
that's it guys got rocks in his backpack tied to his body. that doesn't sound like a suicide. that sounds like murder one on one. in this developing story, tammy static is fighting back tears as she talks about not having answers in her son's death or just really hasn't been any effort to keep this family updated. the static family is bringing their own attorneys to the fight and now they want the f b i to investigate. i think people knew it was a major story right away. when that happened, people knew something was going on. that just doesn't happen. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening. they're not going to do their job to let the f b. i get involved. somebody that can look at this case fresh without this suicide in the back of their mind, you know, planted by the campus police and everything. i want them to look at the whole case
1:49 am
objectively when i met tammy that day and had a personal conversation with tammy, i thought ok, we have the power of journalism. we have the power of finding public records. we have the power of being able to hold those who are paid by tax dollars accountable . ah, the possibility that she didn't have a lot of questions and can't seem to figure out where to get the answers. do you know where she should be looking? no, i really don't know where, where she should be looking on on that. i think a lot of people have a lot of questions the understand the investigative process. you just really have to look at the timeline of events that took place when andrew was reported missing on i believe i was may 2nd the campus police. the dfcs were
1:50 am
the lead investigators, by june, shortly before andras body was found. there were i would say 3 or 4 different law enforcement agencies that were involved. but it was really stell to this point, hard to tell who was actually in charge, who was actually doing anything ah, the investigation was turned over to the b. c. a in minnesota, but in dfcs was originally investigating the north dakota a g 's office and b, c. i, in their report said it was a minnesota b c a case, the b c. a said that's not true, they have nothing to do with it. i was furious saying, read the way everything was be presented from start to finish. the way the police were handling it from pretty much de one and a static death investigation is being handled by campus police. the minnesota police are not working with the campus. police cops aren't sharing information. i
1:51 am
was absolutely delight way, very late way of putting in the f. b, i's response was essentially that they weren't asked by local law enforcement to be involved unless they were asked by law enforcement to get involved. there was no reason for them to get involved at that point. all due respect to the campus, police, you know, they've got a job to do and it is not in to gating a potential murder. i remember asking this school official, do you feel like you're in over your head? and i don't really remember his response to that time. i don't know if he had a response or not, but that was one of the last times we ever got to talk to a school official about the case. no one wanted responsibility. and so if you didn't want responsibility in the front end by doing anything on the backend,
1:52 am
you were taking responsibility. and so there it was much easier to use the narrative of. he took his own life because then he was responsible the police came here. oh, i can't remember how long after his body was found. it was a lie a low and basically told us the progress or lack of progress that they were at what stage the investigation was. we didn't know all the particulars. they didn't tell us all the evidence of what was going on, but they were telling us everything i . we were at that time just trying to find anything, any document or any video they had. tammy had told us that they had
1:53 am
a cell phone. tammy told us they had a laptop, things like that, so we were asking. okay, did you find information on his laptop? could we get a copy of that or do you have video documentation of him being interviewed? why i didn't know what i was expecting, but when i 1st pressed play, almost felt wrong. watching him today. jason webber was yeah. it was just like you could enact me over with a feather related november 22nd thing is 20th birthday. it starts off with smart alec comment that you don't want to spend your birthday here. well,
1:54 am
you expressed interest so you probably want. oh, okay. like i said, you're facing 2 felonies and then course misdemeanor church from yesterday. it's a 25 minute video. it took me probably a week to get through it. that's probably not a way to start off here. young adult placement. right. so the police came in and destroyed is 4. why? this was a kid to college. so i mean that got me and it inspired me to really look at the case, but look at the case, i'm not looking to hang on the lease or any, but i'm looking at the fact that when i saw the fact i was scandalized, i was, i have never seen anything is bad, it's good ways attacks me in the morning or the night before we use on for tomorrow
1:55 am
while i'm off tomorrow and then you can lie somewhat. so for my notices of it was really simple. line them up, next, find criminals and give evidence, line them up, let them of the rest and the conversion to inform. it's because we got or agents that i work with. we are not like the only we are working with other people and we work a big area where, who's there for one mission to get another inform and, and another arrest number and he did it. the thing is the investigation, the one that conducts justification. what did you, for instance, when you interrogated him, find out what his source was? could it be that you didn't do it? because if you questions too much, you'd find out that it was one of the other informants who gave it to you. and if
1:56 am
that's the case, you understand, you committed a felony, you the police force. if that's the case, just like in your situation, you have no clue who probably around you all, you know when this out. ok. you probably maybe trying to think of ideas and stuff, but i'm not going to tell you if you have informal giving don't to subject subject gives just to inform it to was the investigation. you the guy in charge of informers, you created the crime and that's it. perfect frames. oh, [000:00:00;00] i
1:57 am
have to remember that we're in the middle of an opioid. epic heretic opioid epidemic. and the 1st thing i see is they haven't made one or be able to rest, not one on this. i just wonder you didn't tell me or tell anyone oh me ah i a. ready ready large quintanilla class person, i often said it was the
1:58 am
culture blue box truly i just don't want to go to the because it's always more use to meet the teacher could contribute usually. so would you practice and gone? yeah, because really new cultural issues, the moment that she's in the background is not a new middle child. welcome back to finance. i'm john today. we're all about money laundering 1st to see this and this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas. in the cayman islands, you never know. the banks are complicit in their club piper,
1:59 am
so we just have to be mccall. hey, i'm ready to do some serious money laundry. ok, let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about luxury automobile? again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is highly regal. copier correct? spot? the eastern half of the united states were going to have 1000000000, if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their backyard. oh, my god. obviously some of the cicadas do not have very high
2:00 am
tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out or 6 minutes or 400. i mean, that's very satisfying. and the be all encompassing. rachel, this spy phones, the french president and prime ministers, the world health organizations chief and the, even the king just some of those who potentially being snipped on by is really develop. we're also ahead nobody suggestions, lunch, have to place on the way. no serious, president biden said the highest us inflation rate in 13 years was foreseen and won't last long. but that's not bringing much comfort to americans feeling the
