Right. And Melanie, by the way, not implicated in any of the murders. Laurie's brother, Alex Cox, died in December 2019 of natural causes. And Laurie's pleaded not guilty to that. So even though she's been convicted of these other things, again, presumption of innocence with that particular case. But at the end of the day, Mary Ellen, I guess what continues to draw you to this case?

Because, again, it's so there's so many characters. It's so widespread. What sticks out to you about this as to what makes this so unique?

Well, I really appreciate you taking the time and laying all this out for us. Again, it's so wild that years later now, it's not just the children. It's not just the ex-spouses. There's even another alleged victim that, like you said, families still want justice here.

According to police, Kardashian was gagged, tied up and robbed at gunpoint of jewelry worth nearly $9 million.

Two defendants have partially confessed to the crime. Some of the other defendants are suspected of providing information about Kardashian's presence in that apartment. Others are accused of playing a role in the resale of the jewelry. These suspects, by the way, were nicknamed the Grandpa Robbers by the French media because they're in their 60s and 70s,

And this week, we learned from defense attorneys that one of the suspects died earlier this year. His cause of death remains unknown.

A federal judge in New York decided that the Cassie video will be admissible in the upcoming sex trafficking and racketeering trial. You might remember this from our own Brian Buckmeyer describing it last week. The video shows Combs kicking and dragging his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in an LA hotel in 2016. The defense argued that the video, which was first obtained by CNN, was manipulated.

CNN denies this. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Lastly, a Missouri firefighter and paramedic was allegedly stabbed to death on his way to the hospital. According to Kansas City officials, Graham Hoffman was stabbed in the chest by a patient he was transporting during an otherwise routine medical call. Hoffman had been with the Kansas City Fire Department since 2022.
