9:30 am
the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk to me in my phone and i don't i just saw up dollar a former isis fighters there. now. boating a philippine naval ship with
9:31 am
9:32 am
it's tough on the text message. all of his friends, not we all sort even through all of this. so he could have and like he wants reading and but he didn't understand that you want to make sure that whatever's behavior from the video is very concerning. but before i talk about that, go back the day before me where officer webber went to andrew statics, dorm room. and that was the 1st threat that was made to andrew. the
9:33 am
threatening you're in trouble. you're going to be charged with felonies. we have you on video and audio recordings selling marijuana to 2 different confidential informants. if you don't work with me, you're going to prison for 40 years. whoever said, you can come to the law enforcement center and meet with me tomorrow. and you can work with me and i'll help make some of this. go away and make the punishment a lot less. but you can't tell anybody. you can't tell your parents. you can't tell your roommate. you can't tell your friends. you can't talk to an attorney. you just need to come and talk to me and this to work. nobody can know about this. the, potentially, the max is 40 years in prison, 40 years. obviously you're probably not going to get 40 years. but the good possibility that you're going to perform present time, if you don't,
9:34 am
is asserting his authority and giving andrew false information for the amount of marijuana that andrew sold to the 2 different confidential informants. there is no way that he would have gone to prison for that amount. most likely with that at that level of the crime, you're looking at probation, maybe some community service. i can't imagine why and you know andrew was thinking in his situation sitting with this guy who if i was probably going to be just like a slap on the wrist meeting like a don't let us catch your screw and up again. and then all of a sudden this guy's like, yeah, you got to work with us or you're going to face 40 years will cross your whole life . if we have to like ah,
9:35 am
it was one of the 1st times i've actually seen the footage of it happening and watched it happen. and able to see the body language and the reactions that take place between the individuals. and once you learn more of the background, you can understand why someone who had never really been in trouble and was only 20 and trying to get through college would be scared to death for you to do news bites for me that were you have to wear away or you have to go by marijuana from individuals and, you know, depending upon how you do and so forth, you know, a lot of this can go away, you know, are you, andrew was under intense pressure and he was terrified of the consequences. most of the time they're looking for more than part or anybody anything other than marijuana and i think the contact intensifies and then i think they give them deadlines to do more just to people to get the you know,
9:36 am
the levels though i think whatever it was a bowie, and i think that his actions caused the death of andrew static. can you check any call a text message works just fine. when you're sending andrew a boy, he's still a boy. i mean, he isn't legal to have a beer in our state and you're going to send him after these drug lords. to me that was the worst part about all the news from november of 2013 until may of 2014. there were 3 fives that andrew did under the direction of officer weber. ah, ah,
9:37 am
after those 3 buys levers still wanted one more. now that would have been sometime in early 2014. ah ah ah ah, in the village there was very little communication from january to april. i had to wait on him. there are some research projects that have been done that talk about the psychology that goes along with becoming a confidential informant and the pressures that are emotionally put on someone that once an individual is approached and brought into that situation,
9:38 am
it will change them forever. in, i don't know what was going on in andrew's mind. i just know that what he was probably being asked to do was to dive deeper. find someone else. ah, don't, don't trade with information. you want to get all the charges. well, you've got to give me somebody bigger than you. ah, there was a point around april 15th, that there was no more communication. and that's a real red flag. in there, we're in a red flag name, nothing. that's what's making this so difficult for us is law enforcement red flag
9:39 am
named nothing? why wasn't jason webber and contact with andrew static every day? why didn't he know where he was at all times? and if, if andrew was not responding to officer webber, why didn't he bring him in, bring the charges because he wasn't doing what he'd been asked for this situation to go on from november of 2013 to may of 2014 is problematic. don't about if you want me to try to get what you normally get. i want to know who jason wherever worked for, because somebody empowered him to lie to andrew. somebody empowered him to basically play off andrew's worst fears. and that was simply tonight point of the topic. what is sanker, and are they to blame for the death of andrew san rulers?
9:40 am
weak tammy, static andrews. mom blamed them go for her son's death center. just to be clear, stands for the south, east multi county agency and our complex task force. essentially, they could be perceived that a local drug and force agency down in richland county sim, operates as their own entity, with their own board of directors and their own oversight. investigators have permission to be on the campus, but they don't have to notify the school about who they may be investigating. the one thing that we found really odd is that one of the sergeants at the campus police station was on the board of some this are you listed all the one drug task force board member n d as c as police sergeant steve helga said sergeant, how can son was on the some come board? ah,
9:41 am
they should not have had that conflict of interest. a 3rd party should have been investigating what was going on if they knew who andrew was. then what he was doing, they shouldn't have been investigating that. talking to me. i'm starting august 9th, they're lying and why when he talked with him, then we had a reporter. he just went to the college, walked in and tried talking to him, and he got the door slammed in his face and told to turn his camera off. any review in fact, started. ah, a, their shoddy investigative work was terrible. but again, it goes back to the fact of why are they letting some officers onto their campus, not knowing what they're doing. it's all money driven.
9:42 am
the reason that some access is due to money from the federal government. they're dealing and smaller level crimes, like marijuana buys, because it helps their numbers, the more arrests that they can make. the more charges that they can show, the more money they're going to get to keep going. so it's almost like a commissioned sales job at that point. is let me, my little brother was actually going to in dfcs at the same time as andrew, and lived in the same dorm. at the same time. there is no drug problem and we'll pretend it's fabricated. i would say that they're targeting people that they know are going to have a little bit a pot here. and there, the numbers that they use, mostly marijuana live it's misdemeanor level. it tells you that they've bastardize the war, drugs in federal funding for their own benefit. the purpose of federal funding
9:43 am
9:44 am
9:45 am
me, this is the videotape deposition of steve held us and take them as a plaintiff in the matter of john and tammy said x versus jason webber at all. could you please greg here i can hear family for that. the testimony are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. i do say your name, steven ellison. me morning officer webber. morning. we've never met prior to say, you know who the family wanted to bring a lawsuit against anyone that was responsible for the disappearance and death of andrew. ah, where does the funding come for? so there are 2 different grants are they provided with the statistical information that you put together as to the number of cases you're in. so not at the time of the, the, the grant application of the statistics coming and quarterly reports that go on. i burn jay grabbed better website and mills, i reported we were able to bring
9:46 am
a lawsuit against jason webber for his involvement with some cut the law suit is alleging negligence. so essentially this handling of andrew as a confidential informant. also we have the ledge fraud and defeat. in other words, they misled andrew in to getting involved in his role as confidential informant, which we believe led to his desk. ah, are there any other specific courses you can point me to? even are professors you've been trained on strictly confidential form and off the top my have know me one point your your permanent ones that part of the program i sat on the board. yes. so through
9:47 am
the time that the savage, what missing you are still a board member of some kind. yes. privy to cases that were operating but not who was doing what? such as the sea ice. there'd be a lying across the sheet that would say in dfcs case, and one of the drug was that they were working on, but that was, it was a number system. we didn't know the people were neither the agent nor the so yeah. so up until actually 2016. the state college science was involved in the task force. correct me when if ever were you informed of control buys being performed on campus for which anderson was the target look day
9:48 am
that he went missing or that night when ready? first made aware of that and he said it was acting as a confidential informant point. right. at the moment, prior to that on march 10, 2014 recently under attacks. it said, are you still alive? remember that bill? did you have any concerns about him? i i didn't contact me or i haven't heard from him for a while. i didn't have any concerns. i just asked, you know, it's just a figured speech. april 17th 2014. you gave me a deadline of may 1 to complete another bio truck. why the? my 1st deadline? because at that point, he was on the question that he's gonna be graduating from school and he will be
9:49 am
leaving the office in area. and it would be difficult for him to complete what he needs explained, traveling back, he's going to go. that was may a one andrew i missing i believe. so. i know who steve, how the sin as was he involved in the andrew celtic handling. so he would have never participated on our deals. was he aware that the consent search was taking place? i honestly, i don't recall it out. sometimes we, you know, if we go to the jer, different jurisdictions, sometimes we will notify the sheriff of chief police or, you know, if it's on campus, steve, typically these individuals don't want to know what we're doing in south. and steve's a big one for that. he never really wanted to know what we're doing on campus. what is the extent of the relation ship between some campus and place now?
9:50 am
not just and i don't know if they're even working on the campus or not anymore. could be and i wouldn't have any idea at all if you had known that andrew said it or any other student at the school science was acting as a confidential informant, or were the target of a bi from a confidential informant? would you have done anything different towards that student try this or me? [000:00:00;00]
9:51 am
i want to tell me exactly what they were doing with andrew up until that point, if they're, if they had him under so much pressure, letty actually did commit suicide. i want, i want to know, i want to know what they were doing with him. the truth. i'd like the truth. oh, campus police asked me if i had a gun missing and they thought that andrew might had one. and so then i checked my guns and yeah, there was
9:52 am
a crystal missing from them from the garage all ran through my mind. can't see this didn't oh for him to do it without leaving a note or something. letting us hang by to us. i do not believe that for a 2nd to the question that we may never have truthfully answered and the only person that might know what really happened is officer webber. me see where you can get lined up. and then the biggest thing was he being asked by something more than marijuana was he being asked to go to people that he didn't really know and never interacted
9:53 am
with to buy whether it was pots or something else. i take it, he wasn't, i'm selling hot. i wouldn't think that would lead to a bullet, but whatever it was, i think that he went and met up with somebody bigger and better than anybody. and he had expected or that he trapped to not do scared me ended up in the or i have a lot of people who talk to me about my involvement with the static family. and then the people that support the static family don't really care whether he wish murdered or whether he took his own life. i know that's a bad thing to say, but they don't really care because what they care about is that he was put in a position where it's one of those 2 things. what happened in the end, the narrative that got us to the end should never have happened. and so while i
9:54 am
believe that andrew was murdered, i don't think it should take away from the fact that if in fact he did commit suicide and that was not any thing that andrew did without somebody pushing them towards we adore having those guys around. and i value the fact that they have that much respect to come and, and spend time with us because we get to watch them grow. we're not sure really what to do with the farm. we want to keep it in the main buy that's going to be pretty hard to do. now. i was expanding at the time of andrew, the house i was just was renting some more past year and i was going to expand my heard building it up for for his future and stuff. and after his
9:55 am
9:58 am
9:59 am
10:00 am
thing we dare to ask me. ah, the this weekend police fire was a candidate angry protest as in central paris, thousands ruddy nationwide against government plans to make cobit parties mandatory and public places as infections rise. looking back to some of the other stories we brought you in the week just gone a chilling effect on media. freedom is the reaction to a draft rotational which could threaten investigative journalists with prison. if they expose state secrecy
