Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm Jennifer Gould. The South Florida businessman facing charges for
the alleged kidnapping and murder of his estranged wife in Spain,
has been found dead in his Miami federal prison cell.
David Knisovich's attorney confirmed the shocking death as an apparent suicide,
detonating an already explosive case and leaving a trail of

(00:25):
unanswered questions across continents. Nisovich was locked down at the
Federal Detention Center awaiting trial for the alleged kidnapping resulting
in death, foreign domestic violence resulting in death, and foreign
murder of Anna Maria Hanow Nisovich. Her brother, Felipe Hannau
addressed the media after Anna vanished and David was taken

(00:47):
into custody.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
He's terrible, we feel great betrayal. We we just we
just shocked. We traumatized. Which season's enemy?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Anna, a forty year old American citizen who vanished from
her Madrid apartment on February second, twenty twenty four, had
sought refuge in Spain in December of twenty twenty three
to escape a toxic divorce from Nisovich a battleground of
bitter disputes over their shared fortune, including lucrative South Florida
properties in their company. Prosecutors painted a sinister portrait of

(01:25):
Nisovich's alleged plot. They claimed he orchestrated a meticulous plan,
flying from Miami to Turkey on January twenty sixth, twenty
twenty four, before slipping into his native Serbia, renting a car,
and driving across Europe to Spain. Security footage allegedly captured
him purchasing crucial supply spray paint and duct tape at

(01:46):
a Madrid hardware store on the very day Anna disappeared.
The same day, a figure in a motorcycle helmet, believed
by the FBI to beak Nisovich, was seen on camera
obscuring a security lens at Anna's apartment building before wheeling
away a suitcase believing to contain her remains, Adding to

(02:07):
the web of deceit. A rental car Nissovitch returned in
Serbia had clocked an astonishing forty eight thousand miles. Nissovitch
was finally apprehended on May fourth, twenty twenty four, at
Miami International Airport upon his return from Serbia. A federal
grand jury later up the anti in November of twenty
twenty four, indicting him for murder. Though the death penalty

(02:29):
loomed as a possibility, prosecutors announced in January they would
not pursue it. The Federal Bureau of Prisons offered no
further details regarding David's demise, citing an ongoing investigation into
the apparent suicide. In the meantime, Anna's family released a
statement saying they quote remained committed to seeking truth and

(02:49):
justice for Anna and honoring her legacy end quote. They
also expressed profound gratitude to the authorities who continue the
agonizing search for Anna's body, which has never been found.
More crime and Justice news after this.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Egg.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Colorado jury has delivered a guilty verdict against Joseph Koenig
for the shocking murder of twenty year old Alexa Bartel,
killed when a massive rock allegedly hurled by Konig and
his friends smashed through her car window, but the depravity
does not in there. Chilling testimony revealed the teens allegedly
took a Momento photo at the scene of their deadly game.

(03:32):
Koenig was convicted of first degree murder with extreme indifference,
along with multiple counts of attempted murder and assault for
other rock throwing incidents. That night, Bartel's mom, Kelly, spoke
to the media at the courthouse.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's hard to be happy or feel satisfied that justice
was served today because I feel one amazing life was
lost and three others also lost and impacted. And I
don't want to celebrate that, but I do think justice

(04:07):
was served.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Koenigg's accomplices Zachary Quak and Nicholas Mitch Carrolchick had already
pleaded guilty. The trio, all eighteen at the time, were
reportedly throwing rocks at passing cars. On April nineteenth, twenty
twenty three, a nine pound landscaping rock became the instrument
of Bartel's death as she drove north on Indiana Street,

(04:29):
her call with a friend abruptly cut short. Her girlfriend,
Jenna Griggs, tracked her phone to the field after their
call abruptly ended, discovering the horrific scene. Police found Bartel
with a fatal head wound and the bloody rock nearby.
Her car was the last in a series of targeted vehicles. Disturbingly,
Carol Chick testified Conig was quote unquote excited after hitting

(04:53):
Bartel's car. Testimony revealed the chilling aftermath. After Bartel's car
went off the road, the recircled back to look, and
Qualk snapped a souvenir picture. No one checked on Bartel
or called for help. They later reportedly plotted to become
blood brothers and conceal their deadly secret. Conig attempted to

(05:14):
shift the blame on Quawk, but the jury rejected his defense.
He now faces a life sentence. Boch and Carol Chick
face twenty to thirty two and thirty five to seventy
two years, respectively, for their roles in this horrific crime.
And finally, a Brinks truck in Chicago turned into a
rolling ATM, showering the streets with cash and triggering a

(05:37):
wild free for all. Cops say the armored truck's back
door popped open quote unquote by unknown means on South
Austin Boulevard, sending three bags of money flying talk about
making it rain. Between fifty and one hundred people reportedly
swarmed the scene, grabbing the loose loot and making a
run for it on foot and in their cars. The

(05:58):
total haul and estimated three hundred thousand dollars. Brianks is
playing it close to the best, saying they do not
comment on law enforcement matters, and this isn't the first
time money has fallen from the sky, so to speak.
Back in twenty twenty one, a similar scene unfolded on
a California freeway when an armored truck door just burst open,

(06:19):
scattering cash everywhere. So will the Chicago cash grappers get
to keep their newfound wealth or will the law come knocking? Well,
there is a reason it is called highway robbery.
