Sheriff's office.
The neighborhood where the murder occurred is usually considered a very safe neighborhood. It's an upper scale, low crime area.
He'd owned several businesses and sold them, retired. He's very wealthy. He drives fancy sports cars, lives in a big house.
The investigators that handled those cases found no evidence to substantiate his claims. Law enforcement DSS couldn't verify any of the information.
John Mello, I can tell you that a lot of people at the sheriff's office knew who he was. He was just difficult to deal with. He would always make crazy allegations. And then when you wouldn't take him serious, he would get angry.
Christina had no idea where her daughter or John was. She didn't know if they were in the United States or overseas.
We were dumbfounded.
OK. Bradley Post agreed to allow us to look at his phone. He signed a consent form, a waiver. He gave us his password. We weren't expecting to find anything. But while reviewing his phone, we found some material that resulted in him being arrested for criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
An upstate man facing several charges of sexual exploitation with a minor will remain behind bars.
I was personally dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that he just handed over that evidence. For these alleged crimes, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
We had no suspects. And then with the click of a button, it's like, well, we just figured out who did it. Felt like I just won the lottery.
We started receiving calls that we had arrested the wrong person.
Our immediate suspects were Bradley Post, because he was Christina's fiance and found her deceased, and John Mello, because they had a previous relationship and had a child together. From the ring and security camera footage in the neighborhood, we learned that our suspect appeared to be male, tall and slender, with very good posture, and arrived on a bike.
We had been working, I don't even know how many hours a day. We had no suspects. Everywhere we were turning, we were just running into dead ends.
When we were able to blow up that footage, we were able to tell the person we were looking for was white. Mr. Manigault is African-American.
I noticed that he's a pianist and there's a lot of articles about him and his accomplishments. I was very surprised. He had no criminal record. I couldn't even find a speeding ticket. Once I have his name, I can pull up every vehicle you have with your license plate within 10 minutes.
A little after 2 p.m. on the day of Christina's murder, there's a picture of his vehicle coming into the downtown area with a black bike in the bed of his truck.
The handlebars were the same. The brakes were in the exact same place. The frame was the same.
He never asked why we were there or what we were doing.
We obviously want his cell phone. We're looking for the bicycle. We knew Christina Parcell had been stabbed, so we're looking for any objects that could have done that. They have a detached garage at this property, and then we were able to find the exact bike that is on the flat picture in the bed of his truck.
