three separate times.

00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:51,995
- There's no way to identify the make
356
00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:53,897
And model with the naked eye.
357
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:56,300
So detectives take a creative approach
358
00:18:56,368 --> 00:18:59,303
And reach out to experts for help.
359
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:01,238
- We went to aerospace corporation.
360
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:05,876
It's a very large defense
contractor in el segundo.
361
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:09,046
- A lot of times they
volunteered their services
362
00:19:09,115 --> 00:19:13,417
If they could be of any help
to law enforcement agencies,
363
00:19:13,419 --> 00:19:15,986
And they said they could assist in possibly
364
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:19,623
Enhancing the atm cameras
and helping us with the id.
365
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:25,596
So right away we sent the tapes
to aerospace to be examined.
366
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,832
- As they await the results, law enforcement
367
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:32,170
Unleashes a massive effort to hunt down the killer
368
00:19:32,238 --> 00:19:34,505
Who brazenly slaughtered one of their own.
369
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:38,976
- We had probably
60 investigators the first day.
370
00:19:39,044 --> 00:19:41,345
So we had a lot of resources.
371
00:19:41,414 --> 00:19:43,847
- In a lot of
high-profile cases
372
00:19:43,916 --> 00:19:46,917
Like this when it's a serious crime,
373
00:19:46,986 --> 00:19:48,686
A task force is created.
374
00:19:48,754 --> 00:19:51,222
And this task force was based out of
375
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:53,291
The manhattan beach
police department.
376
00:19:53,293 --> 00:19:56,760
- The murder of martin ganz
was significant
377
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:58,796
Because he was
the first officer
378
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:01,132
That was shot and killed in the line of duty
379
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,399
In manhattan beach.
380
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:05,602
- Anytime a brother police officer is shot,
381
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:08,139
It becomes very personal
to all of us.
382
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:12,476
- With no solid leads, police plan to appeal to the media
383
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:14,411
By setting up a tip line
384
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,281
And releasing a sketch of the suspect.
385
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:19,317
- We had the nephew
sit down with an artist
386
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:20,918
To do the composite drawing,
387
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:25,256
And he did a good job giving
a description of the suspect.
388
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,995
- My name is larry altman, and in 1993,
389
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,863
I covered the murder
390
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:35,499
Of manhattan beach
police officer martin ganz

00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:37,201
For the "daily breeze."

00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:41,772
The sheriff's department
released a sketch.

00:20:41,841 --> 00:20:45,776
We put it out in the media,
and of course it was scary.

There's a cop killer out there.

Above our heads
in the police car.
397
00:20:56,121 --> 00:21:00,724
I was determined to find
the person that killed martin.
398
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:03,427
At the time, it consumed me.
399
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:06,329
In my mind, I was stuck
in that night
400
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:09,600
Seeing martin dying in front of me.
401
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:11,636
- For tim to do all that he did...
402
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:15,773
I hope martin knew this.
403
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:20,811
His friend was there for him.
404
00:21:23,048 --> 00:21:26,883
- Eight days after the murder, police still have no leads,
405
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:28,986
And the community of manhattan beach
406
00:21:29,054 --> 00:21:32,889
Comes together to celebrate the life of martin ganz.
407
00:21:32,959 --> 00:21:37,361

for the amount of people
408

That were at the funeral.
409
00:21:39,565 --> 00:21:41,565
It was a sea of blue.

Manhattan beach, very small town

Where people feel protected.

I was broken.

It's now been 12 days since the shooting,
428
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:34,285
And detectives have a new lead on the suspect's car.
429
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:38,089
- The engineers from aerospace narrowed down
430
00:22:38,157 --> 00:22:40,424
To about ten different models
431
00:22:40,493 --> 00:22:43,393
That might fit
our suspect's vehicle.
432
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:45,128
- Car dealers from the area
433
00:22:45,198 --> 00:22:47,131
Loaned us
a whole series of cars.
434
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:50,634
- Then we staged all those
vehicles one by one
435
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:54,271
In the exact position
as the suspect's car.
436
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:58,209
And the engineers would look through the atm camera,
437
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:03,080
And then they'd compare
to the suspect's model.
438
00:23:03,148 --> 00:23:05,582
And eventually, they were able to tell us
439
00:23:05,651 --> 00:23:07,351
That the vehicle
we were looking for
440
00:23:07,419 --> 00:23:10,488
Was a daihatsu charade.
441
00:23:10,556 --> 00:23:13,523
So if we can find the vehicle,
442
00:23:13,593 --> 00:23:16,093
Then that might lead us
to the suspect.
443
00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:18,995

Daihatsu was a small,

There weren't

447

So that narrowed it down.
448
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:31,508

449
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:36,247
That there was actually
4,600 daihatsus registered

But then the task force gets an anonymous call

That could change the course of the investigation.
460
00:24:01,707 --> 00:24:03,540

00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:06,509
"you should look into

Of roger hoan brady."

So he could be good
for this murder.
465
00:24:14,019 --> 00:24:17,788

We saw that he was
on parole for robbery.

had gone to federal prison

For six bank robberies.

So we call brady's

That he was living

And he was working at

What kind of car does roger brady drive?
481
00:25:05,638 --> 00:25:07,070

Police arrive at the brady home,

And because their suspect is on parole,
541
00:28:10,722 --> 00:28:13,323
They don't need a traditional search warrant.
542
00:28:13,392 --> 00:28:17,260

done at his home
543

With the approval
of his parole officer.

He could be very dangerous.

So we know that
he has reason to hate cops.

Because he himself
could not be one,
670
00:34:45,684 --> 00:34:47,450

make him on ballistics.

a photo lineup for the nephew,
