This is alert now because there is a new lead investigator now just a sign of the bizarre murder case involving a famous.

Disable and being known as the blade runner Oscar -- story is accused of killing his girlfriend Arenas seeing him on Valentine's Day read this -- -- The now former top detective has been dropped from the case because he is facing murder charges possibly himself.

Bill Daley former FAA investigating -- in this case now good morning developments myself.

I mean it's it's just bizarre you've got a lead investigator who made his case before the -- just yesterday.

And now we find out he's facing seven attempted.

Murder charges -- got a flurry of questions.

But but but how how does this happen or why do you not put a different investigator on the.

Case to be you.

Well now knowing all the facts behind it -- been that as simple as you know personal he's still on duty he wasn't suspended because these charges and allegations have been out there -- while she's been on duty perhaps -- rotation perhaps he was the one who showed up because.

He was that -- he was assigned.

You to do that that area and and that was is that he can taking the lead on this case so I think -- -- something like that.

You know first probably started and now as more light distort upon it they've now retracted and take him off of the case because obviously technically -- -- fun.

Mentally does this affect the case now that you have a new lead detective that's been or investigator rather -- It's interesting though is that this case will be tried in front of -- judges and not a jury trial kind of -- after a single man single man.

So as opposed to in the past too concerned about how this may taint the jury pool a perception of perhaps some collusion or perhaps.

Somebody's not credible in this case you really have to worry just about the judge which may be as different houses to deal with a -- jury pool.

However I think right now we're looking a case where.

-- many times detectives would have reason pass away or incompetent during incapable of being able to testify in in cases as they come down through their process and I think you know by changing out and bring you lead detective for a lead personally -- that top cop.

At this point.

Is he gonna have a dramatic us and also at the moment you're OK with it I'm OK with it let's see what kind of new layers field offices overlooked because a lot of time as the defense attorneys who -- we'll take the case tomorrow.

We'll turn it on the police.

And don't put deadline -- they always do especially if there's evidence that points -- -- negatively towards towards their.

Towards their of their person any negative they gonna make a case where the and try to say well they it was in some -- collusion tainted or he didn't do proper job -- -- distract or otherwise who's.

Not competent.

But I think at this point there's no problem with a making the change I think you know that the facts they -- the two cases unrelated.

And so they can kind of draw a line to say -- and it didn't affect the way that he behaved as in the lead investigated during the first few hours is that of this investigation.

But you said time will tell -- and this case is no one more query here this is -- aces.

One of the most well known people in the entire country of South Africa is a multimillionaire.

He's got a lot on the line you smell a rat.

I don't smell a rat but I don't think what has been put forward and this -- my view.

I don't -- was been put forward as being a defense.

Is one that ultimately will come out as the reasons behind -- thank you thank you bill appreciate your insight on this occasion bill -- here with us in New York twenty minutes.
