Melaton Flores is a research engineer and assistant director here at EmmerTech. He and his team are the ones who found the car and put together a pipe bomb all closely resembling Gary Triano's car and what was inside it on the evening of November 1st, 1996.
The EmmerTech engineers have these high-speed cameras ready to film the explosion at 20,000 frames per second.
Like with the Triano case, the pipe bomb is placed in a blue canvas bag and it's positioned on the passenger seat. A technician spools out the firing fuse. We take cover in a bunker some 2,000 feet away.
That sound was amazing.
I think it's smoldering a little bit. Yeah, it looks that way. The car's on fire. Every bomb scene tells a story, and the debris scattered by this bomb is much like the debris that was scattered after the bomb that exploded in Tucson on November 1st, 1996. Debris gathered up by law enforcement that Anthony May would go on to analyze. So after the all clear, we move in for a closer look.
Does it matter to you that it went straight up? It'll tell me the orientation of that pipe bomb. That you can take what seems like a scene of classic chaos and create any kind of order out of it is remarkable to us.
Back in 2005, it was Anthony May taking the fragments of that 1996 bomb that killed Gary Triano and reassembling the device, hoping that the process would offer some leads in a case that had grown coal.
So it took Tony May about a month to piece back together all the fragments of the bomb. And he showed us the reproduction he was able to construct. So somehow from all this material, you're able to recreate something that looks very much like what the actual bomb must have been. Yes. Is there any indication that Gary Triano would have seen that bag in the seat next to him?
Well, he in fact did see it.
And just like any puzzle, once the pieces start to fit together, there is a picture that emerges that would eliminate some suspects and start to bring others into sharper focus.
Turns out the outdated 6-volt battery used on the bomb was also a clue about the bomber's age.
that it might have been an amateur building their first bomb and that the choice of battery was suggesting an older suspect excluded organized crime and got authorities focusing on the man with the disorganized van. Ron Young.
And as investigators continue to build that wall, they are intrigued by the enticing link between Ron Young and Gary's ex, Pam Phillips. Were they more than business partners? And will unearthed audio recordings reveal whether Pam was possibly an accomplice in the murder of her ex-husband, Gary Triano? or a victim of Ron Young.
I walk away. The ex-wife, the business manager, the murder. How do they all fit together?
Why would she have been so mad at him?
Here in Tucson, Arizona, handsome, self-confident land developer Gary Triano was married to Pamela Phillips, herself a charismatic player in Tucson real estate. They were a power couple with expensive tastes and the assets to satisfy them.
But after the real estate boom went bust, Gary went bankrupt.
Following their divorce, Glam Pam and their two kids moved to Aspen.
But ever the optimist, Gary felt confident he'd be on top once again soon. Until November 1st, 1996, when a car bomb blew his comeback and his car to smithereens in a parking lot just like this one. But who or what wanted Gary Triano dead?
Despite Pam and Gary's bitter divorce, investigators could see no immediate connection between Pam in Colorado and Gary's pipe bomb murder in Arizona until cops stumbled across that minivan in California belonging to Ron Young, packed with documents with Gary and Pam's names on them.
