direct what is true, what is faith in, in the world corrupted, you need to this end. the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, ah, in having alter realities, experience, or even live. like say, world war. does my dear, you know, especially during and amec, where you can go anywhere in the game world, go everywhere, you know, choose the game that you want. any open roll game, choose it, and you are now on a vacation in a place where you're like flying helicopters or you're, you're on beaches, you're, you're in a city drive, you know, whatever you want, you know, you name it these, these are getaways my name is jason, whenever you can plug it in or you think you remember me. we have been searching
6:31 pm
the river. it was pretty obvious. he had muddy boots on his arrogant. he was sitting there like this with his muddy boots and flicking mud all over the floor. and he just like he was king of the world wanting thought he was aggressive even at that time as far as as how he was we handled himself kind of, he got that feeling that he was searching for a criminal and that's when he told me that my son was a drug dealer you you're here for next semester and she kind of told us that he wasn't just using marijuana that he was actually selling it on
6:32 pm
campus. and he had a felony against him and they haven't charged him with it yet. but he was pending to all these deliveries since they took place on campus, both on their house. so they're passing on. 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 that were you that to where wire 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 to do to deal. okay, so you have to thinking, well this is susan the answering how can he, how can this talking about the same guy? i mean, just the agent,
6:33 pm
whoever told us that they believed, or he believed that he, andrew was on the run because he had to make these buys by may 1st and he'd only done half of them. you don't check with me if i lose contact with you. i'm just gonna assume that you don't want to work anymore and that was for your us and then in jail. so 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 got them in make sense to me. but none of that made sense. nothing made sense. i mean, tammy, just 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
6:34 pm
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 conference to come in like they wanted us to have him turn himself in. we love you and we once you home with us, everything will be okay. mm. i frankly not recall the ride or anything. cuz you know, we up and left and i was kind of in freefall, it just seemed like it was snowballing, rapidly, 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
6:35 pm
news the school then a vigil for other students put together. and they asked me to talk eric and i said some words for a little speech and, you know, just begun farm to come home like if you are in trouble or just come home, want to help your friends most of the electrical program missouri as far as the faculty and the students, you know, people are pretty generous and they're going to give up their time and they're gonna, they're gonna form these search parties and they're going to go, you know, scour wherever law enforcement has identified as,
6:36 pm
as potential places to walk me to campus lisa, i'm going to go back to class. it basically turn to say where you don't want any more 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? me. we went just to places that we had gone when we got to go cruising or something. so can we drive down all the roads? we go and put our heads together and try to hardest to find something, get some sort of clues of 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
6:37 pm
campus. police are supposed to make sure that you behave, make sure you're following the rules of the campus. he snuck bearing the room, look out for the campus, police, that's their job. and the campus police should have turned the situation over to another agency immediately. they just don't have the experience and training necessary to deal with the situation. i and her static 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. i news in the morning give me an evaluation of where this search for andrew is that basically don kohls off as far as the campus police are concerned. and we're, we're not going to stop looking for a living else in
6:38 pm
the living hell. and so why is the funds that are other than that? 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? to me, it seems like they're not doing anything. andrea case just made me feel frustrated . but once you start hearing that 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
6:39 pm
is and all be in take care of their investigative skills, were 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, i guess, but i asked him if they had checked if 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 and it's handers gotten any about and checked in fargo, if any, 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,
6:40 pm
week's 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 details. these charges are still emerging, but andrew was allegedly caught selling marijuana on 2 occasions on april, 4th, and april knife, 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 son is missing for $80.00 for it's a part i was wild, wild. show me
6:41 pm
a campus where you cannot find $80.00 worth of time me . i remember waking up the news that he had been charged. you all think what? because i was this even a thing they can do like this is completely or try your friend home. and now you're going to throw some kind of bogus charge. yeah. like i had not put it together at all. how does warm just happen now that he's gone missing? what crime did you commit? where did they see him? what? like how to, why is that happening now? so i knew it was everything was just confusing, a little mess for awhile there. like that whole month was just the most confusing thing that's ever happened. me. ended up filing the warrants, 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 charges. so that kinda shut down the public's willingness to help.
6:42 pm
nobody wants to look for a drug dealer. my own mother to this day believe that andrew was a drug dealer. anybody that knew him knew there was more to the story. i assume that, you know, he just took off and this is just more than he can handle. but at the same time i, i have this idea that, yeah, but where's, where's it going? where do you, where's it going to go on me? you're going to check it would be original often that we see that if you don't check with me and contact with you, i'm just going to assume that you don't want to work anymore than that. i'm just going to the warranty
6:43 pm
me. i was having a panic here, sitting in the pedicure chair with my feet in the water and sergeant henderson called he said, what are you doing? and i said, i'm having a pedicure and he goes, are you alone? and i'm like, no the gals here, you know what he goes. whereas john and i said, he's on a fishing to 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 was and i knew it was, and i,
6:44 pm
i just got to the house and of course were waiting. the sheriff showed up with tammy's pastor and told us that it was andrew. ah, 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 critical of time. time to sit down and talk i have often said transparency for the powerful receive for the kids about privacy . what people care about is power. julian, a son just become
6:45 pm
a symbol of the battles of privacy. information is power. that's what's going on. a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and other issues. democratic rights should be pushed forward and people have a right to know what to do. watch houses help shift the conversation around transparency. see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable survive. ah, no, it's like whereas the, you know,
6:46 pm
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 reality. now, you know me is tough. i mean, deep down, you kind of knew it has been a long time. you just didn't want to accepted philip snack in the face. ah, ah, ah, me
6:47 pm
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 had a backpack. iraq's tied to them. that's when he told us over the phone he believed was us as suicide. he was just waiting on the coroner. and once he found the gun, it would be confirmed that it was a suicide. me. so the 1st day i'm at tammy, she decided i'm gonna talk to the news. so i walked in, 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,
6:48 pm
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, but one. 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
6:49 pm
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. 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 was murdered. makes more sense of what the costs could come up with. and all they could come up with is a suicide. like wow, 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
6:50 pm
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 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,
6:51 pm
we 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 those may 2nd the campus police and dfcs were 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,
6:52 pm
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 the way everything is be presented from start to finish. the way the police are 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 was absolutely lay away, very lay 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
6:53 pm
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, 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,
6:54 pm
i can't remember how long after his body was fond. 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 weren't 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 a cell phone, tammy, and all this added laptops, 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?
6:55 pm
why i didn't know what i was expecting, but when i 1st pressed play, almost felt wrong. watching him. jason webber was ah, yeah. it was just like you could enact me over with a feather really. november 22nd is 20th birthday. it starts off with smart alec comment that you don't want to spend your birthday here. well, you expressed interest. oh, okay. like i said, you're facing to melanie's and then of course, and this meter 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
6:56 pm
destroyed is for why the this is a kid to college. so i mean that the 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 had never seen anything is bad, it's good ways attacks me in the morning or the night before we use on for tomorrow . why for tomorrow? and then you can find some of that. so for my notices of it was really simple. line them up, find criminals and get evidence blind them up when, when the rest and the conversion to inform. it's because we got 4 agents that i
6:57 pm
work with. we are, you know, you're not like the only see we are working with other people and we work a big area where, who's there for one mission to get another informant and another arrest number. and he did include the thing is the investigation. one, conduct 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 that's the case, you understand, you committed a felony, you the police office. 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 try to think of ideas and stuff, but i'm not going to tell you if you have informal giving don't,
6:58 pm
to subject subject gives is 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, i 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 to be way to rest, not one on no wonder you didn't tell me. or tell anyone.
6:59 pm
oh, me ah, having alternate realities to experience or even live in like a role or does my idea you know, especially during the panoramic where you can go anywhere in the game world, go everywhere, choose the game that you want, any open roll game, choose it, and you are now on a vacation in a place where you're like flying helicopters or you're, you're on beaches, you're, you're in a city drive, you know, whatever you want, you know, your name as these. these are getaways financial survival guy. when customers go buy, you reduce the price didn't know well, reduce a lower undercutting, but what's good for food market is not good for the global economy.
7:00 pm
me the the who's the biggest catch up for our world in the history of the u. k. national health service, that's how prime minister barak johnson describes his plans for the country's koby recovery was paying for it means breaking to k election pledges. yes, i accept that this break i manifest commitment, which is which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the i've gotten it sounds new interim government is announced to the cabinet featuring a ton about sound and the militant on the.
