      Not only that, but if they only met twice, how would Ryan know this? Ryan claims the victim was awkward but also claims he made inappropriate remarks to the sister. That sounds pretty bold. I’ve met a ton of awkward people and they never said anything inappropriate enough to someone they just met to get such a visceral reaction as to fire them immediately.

    The minute you said he had duct tape on his wrists when he went across the street I knew it was him. It would take 2 seconds to get it off if you were in fact a victim, and with the horror you just experienced the thought "I need to preserve the tape on my wrists to prove to the cops I was restrained" probably wouldn't cross your mind. He wanted it to be present when his aunt/the cops arrived because his victimization was a crucial component of his claim to innocence.

    I graduated with Emily, that girl had a dream since she was in kindergarten and she lived it. Ryan was 5 years ahead of me, but we ended up in a pretty vast and eclectic group of friends. Our interests included Wrestling PPV parties and a game we called "Manhunt" which was essentially hide-n-seek in the dark with kendo swords. Ryan was always weird, but our group of friends was littered with weirdos from all socioeconomic backgrounds. He never had much run-in with the law aside from speeding tickets and reckless driving. I know he liked to shoplift occasionally but he never was caught. He used to have a green Ford Ranger that can't believe lasted as long as it did, I remember seeing my life flash before my eyes a few times riding with him. Ryan and a roommate rented the place across the road from his parents farm. I remember you couldn't see the floor in his room. It was covered with pizza boxes, pornography, and empty Harley Davidson brand cigarette packs. Soda cans were thrown into the driveway, then ran over for recycling. We used to spend days watching Kung-Fu movies, playing Final Fantasy 7. He was a compulsive liar, but you had to be on your toes because occasionally he would tell some sensational yarn that turned out to be true. I had a falling out with that group of friends and didn't see Ryan for over a decade until all of this had happened. I don't know why he did this. I've heard that he had been using meth, and that coupled with his personality disorders could've put him into a state where he thought he could get away with it. But the Ryan I knew never was a drug user. Emily had dreamed of being a equine veterinarian her entire life. She put in the work, sacrificed her social life, and in the end achieved her dream. It was destroyed in the most horrible way possible.

      I do feel sorry for Vito's child. Vito himself don't deserve sympathy for he had chosen to help commit murders of innocent family instead of going to police to stop the murders. He had made wrong deadly decision to be co-murderer to one who has only loyalty towards himself in the end. Vito had 💯 put himself and his own child in this exact situation of losing his own life instead of going to police to prevent these murders as Dad himself and to do right actions in life by his own child. Vito was either going be murdered or face lifetime prison time or execution as co-murderer of crimes committed that would 💯 resulted in his child losing Dad anyways. Vito's child was always going to lose no matter Vito's endings in these murders as co-murderer of murders crime because he had chosen to help in the murders instead of going to police to prevent the murders. Vito didn't have zero concerns nor sympathy towards his own murder victims nor his own child in deliberately choosing be party to murdering crimes. So , Vito doesn't deserve any sympathy for himself since he didn't even considered to give it towards murdered victims nor his own child before murders committed and he did not tried to prevent these murders at any time himself. Vito was no more better than his own co-murderer partner when comes to their murdered victims and to his own child who was going to lose Dad no matter the outcome from being murdered by his co-murderer or by going to lifetime prison time/execution for his co-murderer's premeditated murder crimes even if he had cold feet where innocent family was murdered and he didn't even attempt to stop their murders. Their murdered deaths and his own murdered are 💯 equally as much as responsible, blame and faulted onto Vito too along side Ryan.

    Mike, you do a fantastic job of reporting. I'm sure many of the stories you cover are emotionally draining - to say the least - but thanks.
    Your commitment to the truth is what makes your broadcasts stand out.
    I don't know if you remember Walter Cronkite, but a lot of folks "grew up with him" - that is, watching him on the TV news. When I was done with high school, I went to New York City and got a job in the New York Times building, Times Square. I helped conduct pre-election polls.
    These polls were weighted to ensure a random number of likely voters were contacted, that they answer all questions without influence, and so forth. Obviously, these were not online polls. Today we know that online surveys purporting to show preference (shopping, political party, this or that brand name) can be hacked.
    Anyway, I didn't get to meet him BUT Walter Cronkite was alive back then. He might still be.
    The polls were fair in large part because they were analog, not "cyber" or on the Net. In that same spirit I was tasked with collecting the polling results from Co-op City. -- That was once a lovely, thriving place in NYC, I'm told. (I went at night, by cab.)
    That's a lot of words, but I mean it: today, in 2024, the truth often gets lost in the rat race; but it is the core essential of journalism.

      Makes sense. It would take more than one person to shoot the parents and tie up/kill the sister and the guy, so the guy had to be in on it.

      I agree. I think he left his phone at home to make it seem like he was home if they ping the signal. roomates aid he was acting "off" cuz he was about to kill for money. make money for that kid,,,,

      Also he said, "I'm not sure how to feel about all of this yet." WTF DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT KNOW?! Any normal person with empathy wouldve been distraught & extremely angry & bitter their precious entire family was gunned down in front of their eyes! & this dude "doesnt know how hes supposed to feel". Pfft great psychopath response, not having any emotions would make it hard to figure out how you were supposed to feel wouldnt it?

      I thought the exact same thing! My father is adopted and grew up in a very different way than he would have if he wasn’t adopted. Now, I have met his birth mother and recognize so many similarities in their character that many of my father’s negative behavioral traits make sense.
