1
00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:11,538
Welcome to Very Scary People.

2
00:01:11,638 --> 00:01:12,706
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.

3
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,208
Miami in the '90s,

4
00:01:15,308 --> 00:01:18,044
it was a time and place
where glamour and money

5
00:01:18,144 --> 00:01:20,246
influenced its residents.

6
00:01:20,347 --> 00:01:23,783
But there was also a dark side
to this sun-drenched city.

7
00:01:23,883 --> 00:01:26,186
Brutal and grotesque crimes
are being committed

8
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:27,954
by a crew of bodybuilders,

9
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:30,090
wannabes, and misfits.

10
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:32,625
Their violence
is fueled by greed,

11
00:01:32,726 --> 00:01:35,995
and later became the subject
of a Hollywood comedy.

12
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:38,498
But there is nothing funny
about this crew.

13
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:41,401
This is the Sun Gym Sadists.

14
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:56,383
Bodies that were found,

15
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:59,052
dismembered and stuffed
into 55-gallon drums,

16
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:01,788
that were then thrown
into South Florida canals.

17
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:03,390
These guys have
two dead bodies.

18
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:05,425
"How are we gonna
get rid of them?"

19
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:10,063
They want to get rid
of the parts of their body
that can identify them.

20
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,065
Decapitate them.

21
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,435
And remove the victims'

22
00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:16,770
hands and feet.

23
00:02:19,339 --> 00:02:22,008
And they start prying
and axing the face

24
00:02:22,108 --> 00:02:23,677
to get all of the teeth out.

25
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:26,746
And then they take
the hands and they're...

26
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:29,215
grilling them like a barbecue.

27
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:31,117
This is a human being.

28
00:02:31,217 --> 00:02:32,719
Look what they did.

29
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:35,221
To do these things
that they did,

30
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:37,991
they're evil people.

31
00:02:41,227 --> 00:02:43,630
I was watching the news,

32
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,832
and all of a sudden I see

33
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:46,800
mugshots

34
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,335
of Danny Lugo

35
00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:49,869
and Adrian Doorbal.

36
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:52,439
And I about fell over.

37
00:02:52,972 --> 00:02:53,940
I couldn't believe it.

38
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,542
I was just...

39
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:57,077
I was just in total shock.

40
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:01,915
In the '90s,

41
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:03,216
Miami was all about...

42
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:06,786
...fast cars, and money,
and jewelry,

43
00:03:06,886 --> 00:03:08,655
and good-looking people,

44
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:11,558
and models, and parties.

45
00:03:13,093 --> 00:03:15,662
South Beach was
a nightclub type of

46
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:17,163
beautiful place.

47
00:03:17,263 --> 00:03:18,465
It was the place to be.

48
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:25,538
Everybody

49
00:03:25,638 --> 00:03:27,173
walks around in shorts

50
00:03:27,273 --> 00:03:29,776
and tank tops
and bikinis and...

51
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:31,878
So fitness is

52
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:34,814
super important.

53
00:03:34,914 --> 00:03:37,884
That wild and wealthy
South Beach lifestyle

54
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:40,954
is exactly what
25-year-old Danny Lugo

55
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:42,655
is looking for.

56
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:46,059
Danny Lugo was
a transplanted New Yorker

57
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,094
who came to Florida.

58
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,095
Danny was handsome.

59
00:03:49,195 --> 00:03:52,198
He always took care
of how he looked.

60
00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:53,633
He had charisma.

61
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:56,670
Danny was one of those people

62
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:58,538
that I could see

63
00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,407
conning somebody
into something

64
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:01,875
very easily.

65
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,010
But I think Danny Lugo

66
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:06,146
suffered from some
self-esteem issues,

67
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:09,649
some wanting to belong,
some feeling of inadequacy.

68
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:11,151
He grew up quite poor.

69
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:12,819
So, reportedly he had a lisp.

70
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,287
That's got
to be real difficult,

71
00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:15,822
especially if you're
a beefy guy

72
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:16,623
and you're supposed
to be tough.

73
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:18,158
And, you know, a lisp tends to

74
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,560
make people make
different kinds of
associations about you.

75
00:04:21,728 --> 00:04:23,730
It just sounds like Lugo had

76
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,799
some resentments
and some desires

77
00:04:25,899 --> 00:04:27,500
to belong as well,

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,135
coming from his background.

79
00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:31,104
Danny had probably

80
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:32,772
a little bit atypical life

81
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:35,408
at home. It certainly wasn't
Leave It to Beaver.

82
00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:38,478
There were money problems
between his parents.

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,116
His father had a temper
and his father drank,

84
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:46,453
which made it
not a perfect childhood.

85
00:04:46,553 --> 00:04:49,155
His dad could get abusive.

86
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:50,824
There was an incident where

87
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:53,193
he poured
a big plate of spaghetti

88
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:55,462
over his head because Danny
didn't want to eat it.

89
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:58,331
Being a child of an alcoholic

90
00:04:58,431 --> 00:04:59,766
puts a lot of stress on a kid.

91
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:00,700
You've got to be

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,901
the achiever in the family.

93
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:02,836
You've got to make it big

94
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:05,005
so that we can
be comfortable, too.

95
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,008
Danny portrayed himself

96
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,710
as the person that could bring
wealth to the family,

97
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:12,946
and actually got admitted

98
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,081
to Fordham University
in New York.

99
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:16,916
And he did very well,

100
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,051
except for one thing.

101
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,552
He didn't keep track
of his credits.

102
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:22,956
He was between four
and six credits short

103
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:24,724
of his bachelor's degree.

104
00:05:24,824 --> 00:05:27,460
Well, for Danny, that just
wasn't going to stand.

105
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,828
He was getting that degree,

106
00:05:28,928 --> 00:05:30,263
and he wanted that degree,

107
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:32,065
and he wasn't gonna take
any summer courses

108
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,933
and he wasn't gonna
take any fall courses.

109
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,669
He was graduating that June,

110
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:36,736
or he was quitting.

111
00:05:39,205 --> 00:05:39,939
So he quit.

112
00:05:41,441 --> 00:05:43,309
Danny was
the star of the family.

113
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:44,878
When he didn't
get that degree,

114
00:05:44,978 --> 00:05:46,813
there was some level

115
00:05:46,913 --> 00:05:49,282
of disappointment in him.

116
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:51,718
That pressure can
make you work really hard.

117
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:53,820
It can also sometimes
maybe backfire

118
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,188
and make you

119
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:56,956
cut corners to get ahead.

120
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:01,728
Fordham was a bust,

121
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:04,631
so Danny decides
to start fresh in Miami.

122
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:09,469
What he did was try to be

123
00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:10,837
a businessman

124
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:13,540
and offer up loans.

125
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:16,843
He would get people
to give him

126
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:19,646
the down payment for the loan

127
00:06:19,746 --> 00:06:21,147
and then he'd never
give them the loan.

128
00:06:22,482 --> 00:06:23,717
And he racked up

129
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:26,986
tens of thousands
of dollars doing that.

130
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:28,521
I don't think there's
anything on this Earth

131
00:06:28,621 --> 00:06:29,889
that man wouldn't do
for money.

132
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:33,293
Of course, these people
went to the police

133
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,462
and he was federally arrested.

134
00:06:37,464 --> 00:06:39,766
He got a two-year
federal prison sentence

135
00:06:39,866 --> 00:06:42,869
and he was sent to
a white-collar prison camp,

136
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:45,271
where he spent
his time working out

137
00:06:45,372 --> 00:06:46,840
and probably talking to other

138
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,008
white-collar criminals.

139
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,444
29-year-old Danny

140
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:53,813
is released from prison early,

141
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:56,016
having served only 15 months

142
00:06:56,116 --> 00:06:58,385
of his original
two-year sentence.

143
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:03,423
Lugo was coming off of
his federal conviction.

144
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:04,791
He was on probation

145
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:06,693
and looking for
a place to work.

146
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:13,166
Being a bodybuilder,
he approached

147
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:15,201
John Mese.

148
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:16,970
John Mese was kind of

149
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,972
a lifetime bodybuilder,

150
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,574
very involved in
bodybuilding competitions.

151
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:22,876
He had a bodybuilding business

152
00:07:22,976 --> 00:07:24,210
that he was trying to grow.

153
00:07:25,211 --> 00:07:27,747
So he purchased
a place called Sun Gym.

154
00:07:29,849 --> 00:07:31,785
Sun Gym seemed to be

155
00:07:31,885 --> 00:07:33,787
a place where

156
00:07:33,887 --> 00:07:35,989
a lot of seedy people
worked out.

157
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:40,060
Where in the locker room,
you could freely use steroids

158
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,295
and not get in trouble.

159
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:43,663
Sun Gym definitely became

160
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:45,699
what we would think about
as criminal culture,

161
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,168
in that everybody there
got some hustle going on.

162
00:07:49,369 --> 00:07:51,071
The equipment is expensive,

163
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:52,906
and John

164
00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:54,974
was competing
with places like Gold's Gym,

165
00:07:55,542 --> 00:07:56,509
LA Fitness.

166
00:07:57,444 --> 00:07:59,646
And it started to really drain

167
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:00,447
his income.

168
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:04,584
Lugo sold him basically on

169
00:08:04,684 --> 00:08:06,586
all these ideas
he had he thought

170
00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:07,854
would make the gym grow.

171
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,757
Danny was born to sell.

172
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,692
He was born

173
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,294
to get people to like him.

174
00:08:15,395 --> 00:08:16,896
And he really just learned

175
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,531
to listen to people

176
00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:20,100
to know where
their weak spots were.

177
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,035
He had a natural talent.

178
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:28,708
Lugo uses that talent

179
00:08:28,808 --> 00:08:31,144
to sell memberships at the gym

180
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:34,080
and to recruit
a new partner in crime.

181
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:40,420
Adrian Doorbal
had come to

182
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,888
Miami, Florida

183
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:44,224
in the early '90s
from Trinidad.

184
00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:50,063
Adrian did not really
talk about much

185
00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:52,632
of his background.

186
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:56,036
Attila Weiland lives
outside the United States,

187
00:08:56,136 --> 00:08:58,171
too terrified to return

188
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:00,173
after the events
of this story.

189
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:02,042
He told me that

190
00:09:02,142 --> 00:09:04,344
originally he was
from Jamaica.

191
00:09:04,444 --> 00:09:06,012
I knew it was a lie,

192
00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:08,181
but, you know,
who am I to judge?

193
00:09:08,782 --> 00:09:10,250
Maybe he was shameful

194
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:12,118
to be from Trinidad,
I don't know.

195
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:14,120
I have been to where

196
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:15,388
Doorbal grew up,

197
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:16,656
and he grew up in probably

198
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:19,225
the poorest place
I've ever been
to in the world.

199
00:09:22,462 --> 00:09:24,130
He had a really horrible

200
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,299
initial existence.

201
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,436
His mother was raped
by the next-door neighbor

202
00:09:29,536 --> 00:09:31,838
when she birthed him
at 15 years old.

203
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:35,608
She was not able to care
for a baby at that age.

204
00:09:35,709 --> 00:09:37,177
So his grandmother

205
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:39,179
raised him like a son.

206
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:43,650
He believed
until his late teens

207
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,820
that his mother
was his sister.

208
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,755
So when he started working
at a young age,

209
00:09:48,855 --> 00:09:50,790
he thought his sister
was stealing his money.

210
00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:53,259
It shapes an idea
in your head that, like,

211
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,395
anybody will take money
in whatever way they can,

212
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:56,996
even my own family. So,

213
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:58,765
is it so big a deal
if I do that?

214
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:01,368
Adrian Doorbal was somebody

215
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,370
that wanted to be loved,

216
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:05,605
that wanted to be respected.

217
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,009
None of which he received
from his mom.

218
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:12,312
When Adrian was 18,

219
00:10:13,246 --> 00:10:14,447
he went to America.

220
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:17,517
He wanted to make a life

221
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:18,885
in the United States.

222
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,654
I knew Adrian Doorbal

223
00:10:21,755 --> 00:10:24,391
from working at
a fitness center

224
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:25,392
in Miami.

225
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,228
My first impression of Adrian

226
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:30,530
was that he was very humble.

227
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,565
And he was very gentle.

228
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,702
He wasn't making
a lot of money.

229
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:39,039
I think Adrian was looking
for people to look up to.

230
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:40,774
And I think he needed

231
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:42,075
a mentor.

232
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:45,779
He had aspirations to become

233
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:47,947
a bodybuilder, and hopefully

234
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:49,683
make some money in that way.

235
00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:51,885
He needed people that

236
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:54,020
were going to help him succeed

237
00:10:54,688 --> 00:10:56,389
in getting what he wanted.

238
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:57,991
That's how he got with Danny.

239
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:00,660
Doorbal and Danny

240
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:03,496
bonded around
similar backgrounds

241
00:11:03,596 --> 00:11:05,065
of deprivation,

242
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,866
shame, humiliation,

243
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:09,402
expectation that you
want something that you

244
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,871
don't see how you're
gonna achieve legitimately.

245
00:11:11,971 --> 00:11:14,007
They kind of
balanced each other

246
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:16,042
around that kind of
common background of

247
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:17,177
lack of self-worth.

248
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:21,481
And so sometimes,
as a result of that,

249
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:22,849
people adapt to it...

250
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:29,322
by committing horrible acts.

251
00:11:46,806 --> 00:11:48,942
Danny made Adrian feel like

252
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:49,943
he could

253
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:51,911
be successful

254
00:11:52,012 --> 00:11:53,480
and have whatever he wanted.

255
00:11:57,617 --> 00:11:59,719
Danny had Doorbal
come to the gym.

256
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:04,391
Doorbal started getting
bigger and bigger.

257
00:12:06,693 --> 00:12:08,962
Now Doorbal's
winning contests.

258
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:10,497
Mr. America contest.

259
00:12:10,597 --> 00:12:12,932
People are coming in,
they want to train
with Doorbal.

260
00:12:14,434 --> 00:12:17,637
Adrian Doorbal
brings in new clients.

261
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:20,707
But selling gym memberships
one at a time

262
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:22,776
isn't gonna cut it
for Danny Lugo.

263
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:25,812
He wants big money fast.

264
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:27,414
Money became important
to these men

265
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:29,115
partly because they
didn't have a lot,

266
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:30,784
but also the Miami context,

267
00:12:30,884 --> 00:12:32,385
where you're surrounded by
the glitz and glamour

268
00:12:32,485 --> 00:12:33,853
of the Miami lifestyle,

269
00:12:33,953 --> 00:12:36,122
and they're seeing this
and they're wanting that.

270
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:38,191
Danny was looking
for a fraud business,

271
00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:39,893
but he didn't have one.

272
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:44,230
Then Jorge Delgado

273
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:46,099
drives up to Sun Gym

274
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:48,001
because he's skinny

275
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:50,337
and he'd like to
build himself up.

276
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:51,805
So he joined Sun Gym.

277
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:55,375
And immediately,

278
00:12:55,475 --> 00:12:57,844
Danny sees he's got
the Mercedes.

279
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,580
How does a guy like that

280
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,415
get that kind of car?

281
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:08,221
Now, if you've ever had
a personal trainer,

282
00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:09,456
sometimes you know that

283
00:13:09,556 --> 00:13:10,924
they become your confidant.

284
00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:13,860
Danny got to know him.

285
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,195
And he got inside his head.

286
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:19,299
And he started to find out,
this guy has a business

287
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,100
that I want.

288
00:13:24,671 --> 00:13:26,906
He probably carried
a lot of weight of

289
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:27,941
not having money.

290
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:31,211
When you are
in a city like Miami,

291
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,646
you're butting up
against somebody who's got
all this money.

292
00:13:35,115 --> 00:13:36,583
That's tough on the psyche.

293
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:50,497
Jorge Delgado
was a ne'er-do-well.

294
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:53,333
He was never gonna be anybody.

295
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,168
He's a skinny guy

296
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:56,636
that married a smart girl.

297
00:13:56,736 --> 00:13:57,504
That girl

298
00:13:58,138 --> 00:13:59,239
was able to

299
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:00,640
work herself up into being

300
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:02,208
Marc Schiller's assistant.

301
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:07,213
Marc Schiller was
a Colombian National
Argentinian born.

302
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,549
He met his wife in Colombia.

303
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:11,551
He then came
to the United States

304
00:14:11,651 --> 00:14:13,753
and opened up a pretty good

305
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:15,789
CPA practice himself.

306
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:19,225
He also owned
a Schlotzky's Deli.

307
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:21,461
And he was

308
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:23,329
on the side

309
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:25,965
running a Medicare
fraud business.

310
00:14:26,066 --> 00:14:28,735
Medicare fraud is
a very common

311
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:30,070
criminal activity.

312
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:32,038
You are billing
the federal government

313
00:14:32,138 --> 00:14:33,139
for services

314
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:34,474
that were never provided.

315
00:14:36,843 --> 00:14:39,012
The allure of Medicare fraud

316
00:14:39,112 --> 00:14:41,348
is that you're making
millions of dollars,

317
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:43,083
and greed drives the train.

318
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:47,721
As a favor
to Mrs. Delgado,

319
00:14:47,821 --> 00:14:50,757
Schiller hires Jorge
and mentors him.

320
00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:51,858
Eventually,

321
00:14:51,958 --> 00:14:53,927
taking him on
as a business partner.

322
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:56,029
But everything changes

323
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:58,998
once Jorge becomes friends
with Danny Lugo.

324
00:15:00,834 --> 00:15:02,802
Jorge is enthralled
with Danny.

325
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,938
I mean, this is like
a new best friend.

326
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,943
So Danny says, "I want
to meet Marc Schiller."

327
00:15:10,043 --> 00:15:12,245
'Cause Marc was worth
a lot of money.

328
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:14,347
Schiller not only represents
financially the success

329
00:15:14,447 --> 00:15:16,549
that Danny wants
and the home and the yard

330
00:15:16,649 --> 00:15:18,852
and the cars and the life.

331
00:15:18,952 --> 00:15:20,553
Schiller is making
his fraud work.

332
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:23,189
Oh, you got caught for yours.

333
00:15:23,289 --> 00:15:25,358
He represents the dream
that you're looking for.

334
00:15:25,992 --> 00:15:27,127
So they meet.

335
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:29,295
But Marc

336
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:30,897
has a sixth sense.

337
00:15:30,997 --> 00:15:33,299
And he knows Danny's bad news.

338
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,902
Delgado introduced
Lugo to Schiller.

339
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:38,538
Meets him a couple times.

340
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:41,474
Hears his voice.
Knows his lisp.

341
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:45,612
Schiller immediately got
this vibe and said,

342
00:15:46,212 --> 00:15:47,347
"I don't like this guy.

343
00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:50,550
There's something bad
about this guy."

344
00:15:50,650 --> 00:15:52,218
And even gave Delgado
an ultimatum.

345
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:55,121
"It's me or him.

346
00:15:55,221 --> 00:15:56,890
You either do business
with him

347
00:15:56,990 --> 00:15:58,525
or you do business with me."

348
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:00,694
He picked wrong.

349
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:02,762
So Jorge and Danny,

350
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:05,899
they started doing
their own medical fraud.

351
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:08,435
The thing of it was that
they couldn't really break in

352
00:16:08,535 --> 00:16:10,470
to the amount of money
that Marc was making.

353
00:16:10,570 --> 00:16:12,672
It didn't really annoy Jorge.

354
00:16:12,772 --> 00:16:14,574
Jorge was happy
with what he had.

355
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:15,942
But this annoyed Danny.

356
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,314
So Danny started

357
00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:23,383
laying the groundwork.

358
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,418
In his lying way,
he told Jorge,

359
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:27,887
"I've been through your books.

360
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,590
And I know Marc
has stolen from you.

361
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,359
You were never
an equal partner.

362
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,594
He threw you crumbs.

363
00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:36,329
You got basically nothing.

364
00:16:37,797 --> 00:16:40,000
We have to get him back."

365
00:16:41,634 --> 00:16:43,737
And it soured Jorge on Marc.

366
00:16:45,138 --> 00:16:46,906
And it also excited him

367
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:49,142
that somebody's
sticking up for him.

368
00:16:49,776 --> 00:16:51,411
Jorge had no self-esteem.

369
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:54,414
So what anybody told him
to do, he did.

370
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:55,915
And he was willing to do

371
00:16:56,016 --> 00:16:58,385
anything to get back at Marc.

372
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,321
Lugo convinces Delgado

373
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:03,289
they need to
shake down Schiller

374
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:04,858
and get the money he's owed.

375
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,494
But he'll need help.

376
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:11,998
And the Sun Gym is
the perfect place to find it.

377
00:17:13,967 --> 00:17:15,769
First, of course,

378
00:17:16,503 --> 00:17:17,671
Danny has Doorbal.

379
00:17:18,672 --> 00:17:20,373
Doorbal's gonna be
a strong man.

380
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,142
And this is great for Doorbal.

381
00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:26,246
Danny knew that

382
00:17:26,346 --> 00:17:27,681
Adrian was vulnerable

383
00:17:27,781 --> 00:17:30,183
and that he could
manipulate him

384
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:32,619
to do whatever
he wanted him to do,

385
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:35,689
because he knew that Adrian

386
00:17:35,789 --> 00:17:38,591
wanted to have nice things.

387
00:17:42,462 --> 00:17:44,864
"And you know that guy Weekes

388
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:46,499
that you said wanted
to be the janitor?

389
00:17:47,367 --> 00:17:48,134
Bring him."

390
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:55,075
Because of
his involvement with
the Sun Gym gang,

391
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:58,712
Carl Weekes has been
deported to Barbados

392
00:17:58,812 --> 00:18:01,748
and is barred from
reentering the United States.

393
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:13,727
Danny had a way

394
00:18:13,827 --> 00:18:15,195
of talking to people

395
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:17,530
in a tone that made people go,

396
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:20,166
"Wow, that sounds great.
Of course."

397
00:18:22,369 --> 00:18:24,104
He was definitely thinking,

398
00:18:24,204 --> 00:18:26,239
"I can make
a lot of money here."

399
00:18:26,339 --> 00:18:28,508
So Danny goes,
"We're kidnapping him."

400
00:18:46,393 --> 00:18:48,161
They come up with several

401
00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:49,829
different approaches,

402
00:18:49,929 --> 00:18:52,932
each of which, I should say,
is dumber than the one before.

403
00:18:53,033 --> 00:18:54,234
The first approach is

404
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:56,436
they decided to
dress up as ninjas

405
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:57,804
and hide in his yard,

406
00:18:57,904 --> 00:18:59,272
because they've
been surveilling him

407
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:01,875
and they realize he comes out
every morning at 5:00 a.m.

408
00:19:01,975 --> 00:19:03,276
in the dark
to get the newspaper.

409
00:19:03,943 --> 00:19:04,778
But they realize that

410
00:19:04,878 --> 00:19:06,613
as cars are
coming down the street,

411
00:19:06,713 --> 00:19:08,615
the headlights are
lighting them up

412
00:19:08,715 --> 00:19:10,884
and they're just
completely exposed.

413
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:11,951
So they start running

414
00:19:12,052 --> 00:19:14,421
through the yards
back to the van,

415
00:19:14,521 --> 00:19:15,555
yelling on their headset,

416
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:16,656
"Abort, abort."

417
00:19:16,756 --> 00:19:18,958
Like this was some kind of
SEAL Team 6 mission.

418
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:20,827
So that was a failure.

419
00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:23,430
So they come up
with another plan.

420
00:19:45,452 --> 00:19:47,721
Now they have
to have another plan,
'cause they're not giving up.

421
00:19:48,988 --> 00:19:50,557
They've just got to find
the right way to kidnap him.

422
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:09,042
Danny Lugo's
team of misfits

423
00:20:09,142 --> 00:20:11,011
hasn't laid a hand
on their target,

424
00:20:11,111 --> 00:20:11,778
Marc Schiller.

425
00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:14,314
So they try a new tactic.

426
00:20:16,649 --> 00:20:17,650
They get a Taser.

427
00:20:17,751 --> 00:20:19,319
In those days,
the tasers were as big as

428
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:20,920
the old brick cell phones.

429
00:20:21,021 --> 00:20:23,089
And they didn't have the wand.

430
00:20:23,189 --> 00:20:25,291
You had to actually
touch the skin.

431
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:26,526
Let me tell you something,

432
00:20:26,626 --> 00:20:28,595
that's a serious shock.

433
00:20:30,897 --> 00:20:34,167
They decide
they're just gonna
pull up next to his car

434
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:36,870
at this Schlotzky's Deli
that he owns.

435
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:38,505
And when he comes up,

436
00:20:38,605 --> 00:20:40,040
they're gonna tase him,

437
00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:41,241
pull him into the car,

438
00:20:41,775 --> 00:20:42,842
and kidnap him.

439
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:47,347
They knew that
every day he went to the deli,

440
00:20:47,447 --> 00:20:48,882
and it's open from,
like, 9:00 to 3:00.

441
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,819
Doorbal and Weekes lie in wait
in the parking lot.

442
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:55,422
Danny's not there.
They're there.

443
00:20:58,692 --> 00:21:01,995
Adrian and Carl Weekes

444
00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:03,963
threw moving blankets on him.

445
00:21:12,205 --> 00:21:14,207
They put on duct tape

446
00:21:14,307 --> 00:21:16,776
all around his eyes and nose.

447
00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:21,014
So they kidnap Schiller,

448
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:23,450
and they take him
over to this warehouse.

449
00:21:27,087 --> 00:21:30,757
The warehouse
that he was brought to
was owned by...

450
00:21:32,892 --> 00:21:34,394
Jorge Delgado.

451
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:37,430
Doorbal calls Danny.

452
00:21:43,069 --> 00:21:44,371
And Doorbal says,

453
00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:45,939
"The eagle has landed."

454
00:21:50,243 --> 00:21:52,145
Lugo was a big kid.

455
00:21:52,245 --> 00:21:55,648
He was about 6'2", 250.

456
00:21:55,749 --> 00:21:57,717
But, you know,
to hear him talk,

457
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:58,918
he didn't have

458
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:00,720
a deep voice

459
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:01,855
to go with

460
00:22:01,955 --> 00:22:03,423
the build that

461
00:22:03,523 --> 00:22:05,759
you would think
someone like that might have.

462
00:22:05,859 --> 00:22:07,560
Danny was not
embarrassed about

463
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,829
anything he ever did.

464
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:10,897
Except for one thing.

465
00:22:11,431 --> 00:22:12,165
His lisp.

466
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,251
Danny had
a very pronounced lisp.

467
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:32,686
Marc knew the lisp.

468
00:22:48,768 --> 00:22:50,503
This Colombian guy,

469
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:53,707
he sells drugs
to children near schools.

470
00:22:53,807 --> 00:22:55,875
They were able
to talk themselves
into the fact that

471
00:22:55,975 --> 00:22:58,244
Schiller was a horrible guy.

472
00:22:58,345 --> 00:23:00,080
So I think that they
just used this

473
00:23:00,180 --> 00:23:01,481
to convince themselves
that he's not

474
00:23:01,581 --> 00:23:03,383
somebody we should even
care about.

475
00:23:03,483 --> 00:23:04,484
We want what he's got,

476
00:23:04,584 --> 00:23:06,986
but we don't care
about him as a person.

477
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:09,989
Lugo and the others...

478
00:23:11,691 --> 00:23:13,560
wanted to get into the house

479
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,096
and take all his assets.

480
00:23:18,031 --> 00:23:20,367
So the first thing
they need him to do

481
00:23:20,467 --> 00:23:23,069
is to tell his wife,
"Get out of town.

482
00:23:23,169 --> 00:23:24,871
Get yourself, the kids,

483
00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:26,539
go home to Colombia."

484
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:28,708
"Don't call the police.
Don't call anybody."

485
00:23:29,843 --> 00:23:30,710
Let his wife know

486
00:23:30,810 --> 00:23:32,412
maybe some of his money
wasn't clean.

487
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:36,916
So she did
exactly what he said.

488
00:23:37,017 --> 00:23:38,818
So no missing persons report
was filed.

489
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,088
The gang had assumed

490
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:44,691
Schiller would be
an easy shakedown

491
00:23:44,791 --> 00:23:47,560
and they'd
become rich overnight.

492
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:50,563
But after getting
his wife and kids to safety,

493
00:23:50,663 --> 00:23:53,500
Schiller refuses to give
them more information.

494
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,802
And it catches them off guard.

495
00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:58,138
Now they got a problem.

496
00:23:58,238 --> 00:24:00,940
They thought this was gonna be
like a day, a day and a half.

497
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:04,611
They don't expect a fightback.

498
00:24:05,412 --> 00:24:08,048
So now they have to keep him.

499
00:24:08,148 --> 00:24:10,417
"We're getting some handcuffs.
We're gonna handcuff him
to the chair."

500
00:24:12,085 --> 00:24:13,253
"What happens if he has
to go to the bathroom?"

501
00:24:13,353 --> 00:24:14,187
"We'll give him a bucket."

502
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,029
The Sun Gym Gang

503
00:24:23,129 --> 00:24:24,764
begins to torture
Marc Schiller

504
00:24:24,864 --> 00:24:27,367
into revealing where he keeps
his important documents.

505
00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:30,503
And guided by
Schiller's old friend

506
00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:33,073
and partner, Jorge Delgado,

507
00:24:33,173 --> 00:24:35,075
they break into
Schiller's empty house

508
00:24:35,175 --> 00:24:36,676
a few days
after his kidnapping

509
00:24:37,544 --> 00:24:39,079
and grab everything they need

510
00:24:39,179 --> 00:24:41,981
to take over his finances
and his life.

511
00:24:44,918 --> 00:24:46,353
So he is now kidnapped.

512
00:24:46,453 --> 00:24:47,854
His wife is
out of the country.

513
00:24:47,954 --> 00:24:49,289
The house is empty.

514
00:24:49,389 --> 00:24:52,058
And nobody knows
what's going on.

515
00:24:52,158 --> 00:24:54,127
Nobody knew
Marc was missing.

516
00:24:54,227 --> 00:24:55,362
Nobody's looking for Marc.

517
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:03,503
And that's just how
the Sun Gym Gang wants it.

518
00:25:03,603 --> 00:25:06,172
They don't expect
Marc Schiller to
put up a fight.

519
00:25:06,272 --> 00:25:09,642
But when he does,
they beat him into submission.

520
00:25:09,743 --> 00:25:12,979
And when they eventually
get him to sign over
everything he owns,

521
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:14,981
there's no telling
how far they'll go

522
00:25:15,081 --> 00:25:17,250
to make sure
he never gets it back

523
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:18,685
and never tells a soul.

524
00:25:31,498 --> 00:25:33,833
Lugo's violent gang
of jacked-up thugs

525
00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:35,635
has the paperwork they need

526
00:25:35,735 --> 00:25:37,904
to steal
Marc Schiller's fortune.

527
00:25:38,004 --> 00:25:40,440
But they still need him
to sign it over.

528
00:25:47,347 --> 00:25:49,049
He's completely blindfolded.

529
00:25:49,149 --> 00:25:51,284
They would put
blank checks in front of him,

530
00:25:51,384 --> 00:25:53,486
they'd put his hand
on the check and say, "Sign."

531
00:25:54,487 --> 00:25:55,321
And he would go...

532
00:25:56,289 --> 00:25:58,258
And they would put
another paper.

533
00:25:58,358 --> 00:25:59,626
Deed for his house.

534
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:01,661
Another paper.

535
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:02,862
The deed for his condo.

536
00:26:04,297 --> 00:26:05,031
Another paper.

537
00:26:07,567 --> 00:26:08,668
His car.

538
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:18,812
They were trying to figure out
all the different things
they could take,

539
00:26:18,912 --> 00:26:20,513
and how they could take them.

540
00:26:22,482 --> 00:26:24,984
Transfer of assets has
to be notarized,

541
00:26:25,085 --> 00:26:26,019
you know, you can't just

542
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,687
sign a paper
and give away your house.

543
00:26:29,322 --> 00:26:30,657
There has to be a notary

544
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,892
verifying that
this is not a fraud.

545
00:26:34,094 --> 00:26:35,729
Well, John Mese was a notary.

546
00:26:36,663 --> 00:26:39,232
John Mese,
Danny Lugo's boss

547
00:26:39,332 --> 00:26:41,234
and the owner of the Sun Gym.

548
00:26:41,334 --> 00:26:42,502
At the time,

549
00:26:42,602 --> 00:26:44,371
the height of security

550
00:26:44,471 --> 00:26:45,605
was having a notary.

551
00:26:47,173 --> 00:26:49,009
Somebody claiming
that they saw

552
00:26:49,109 --> 00:26:51,644
the person sign this
and it was witnessed.

553
00:26:53,213 --> 00:26:54,414
There was no

554
00:26:54,514 --> 00:26:56,249
fraud department necessarily

555
00:26:56,349 --> 00:26:59,853
at your bank that was
going to question a notary.

556
00:26:59,953 --> 00:27:02,422
So that was
the key step for Lugo.

557
00:27:05,859 --> 00:27:09,562
John Mese is
basically being brought
all these signed documents

558
00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:11,197
and he's notarizing

559
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:12,899
all of the signatures
on the condo

560
00:27:12,999 --> 00:27:15,268
and on the home
and all this stuff.

561
00:27:15,368 --> 00:27:17,404
Depriving Schiller
of everything.

562
00:27:20,106 --> 00:27:21,408
Marc's beautiful home

563
00:27:22,409 --> 00:27:23,643
now belongs to Danny.

564
00:27:24,511 --> 00:27:25,945
Some corporation, of course,

565
00:27:26,046 --> 00:27:27,847
that they conjured up.

566
00:27:29,949 --> 00:27:33,053
At this point in
Lugo's fraud evolution,

567
00:27:33,153 --> 00:27:35,855
he seems to have
figured out certain steps

568
00:27:35,955 --> 00:27:38,458
that are necessary if you're
gonna be a fraudster.

569
00:27:38,558 --> 00:27:41,361
One of which being setting up
a shell corporation.

570
00:27:43,029 --> 00:27:45,365
Somewhere where you can
park this wealth

571
00:27:45,465 --> 00:27:47,834
that it's not gonna
call attention to it.

572
00:27:55,542 --> 00:27:57,277
As they wait
for all the transfers

573
00:27:57,377 --> 00:28:00,280
of Schiller's assets
to completely clear,

574
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:03,049
the gang now
tortures him mercilessly.

575
00:28:03,149 --> 00:28:04,351
Just for fun.

576
00:28:06,286 --> 00:28:08,254
He was being
burned with lighters.

577
00:28:09,289 --> 00:28:10,190
Being pistol whipped.

578
00:28:11,324 --> 00:28:13,793
Having gun barrels
shoved into his mouth.

579
00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:16,496
Treated worse than probably
a prisoner of war.

580
00:28:31,077 --> 00:28:32,645
They had him drink

581
00:28:33,046 --> 00:28:34,481
nasty water.

582
00:28:35,882 --> 00:28:39,419
He urinated in his clothing.

583
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:42,222
Essentially, it's a type of
dehumanizing of Schiller.

584
00:28:42,322 --> 00:28:44,657
Talking themselves into
believing that Schiller's

585
00:28:44,758 --> 00:28:46,593
got what they should deserve.

586
00:28:47,861 --> 00:28:49,262
Adrian was

587
00:28:49,362 --> 00:28:51,131
hitting him the most.

588
00:28:51,231 --> 00:28:53,433
Being the most abusive to him.

589
00:29:02,175 --> 00:29:05,211
I think Doorbal especially
felt very emasculated.

590
00:29:05,311 --> 00:29:06,846
You know, if you
started working at 12

591
00:29:06,946 --> 00:29:08,882
and you're like,
"I've been working all my life

592
00:29:08,982 --> 00:29:10,316
and I still don't have much.

593
00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:11,151
And this dude over here,

594
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:13,086
he's doing great."

595
00:29:13,186 --> 00:29:15,455
Like, I could see where
that would build resentment.

596
00:29:15,555 --> 00:29:16,723
He started using violence

597
00:29:16,823 --> 00:29:18,124
and that gave him
that sense of power.

598
00:29:20,527 --> 00:29:21,561
They're punching him

599
00:29:21,661 --> 00:29:23,363
like he's a punching bag
at the gym.

600
00:29:25,765 --> 00:29:27,267
And when I say they...

601
00:29:30,370 --> 00:29:31,638
...I believe it was Doorbal.

602
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,742
He's just an evil person.

603
00:29:37,344 --> 00:29:38,978
I've seen steroids affect

604
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:40,714
people's personalities

605
00:29:40,814 --> 00:29:41,781
a lot.

606
00:29:42,415 --> 00:29:43,950
And I do believe that

607
00:29:44,050 --> 00:29:45,785
he may have
started taking them.

608
00:29:47,287 --> 00:29:49,222
Steroids build up
in your system

609
00:29:49,322 --> 00:29:50,223
and it makes you

610
00:29:50,323 --> 00:29:51,725
more and more aggressive.

611
00:29:55,662 --> 00:29:57,764
I think
Adrian probably did that
to please Danny.

612
00:29:58,631 --> 00:30:00,500
I think he maybe even did more

613
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,402
than what Danny
was asking for him...

614
00:30:03,336 --> 00:30:05,138
...and got carried away.

615
00:30:07,707 --> 00:30:09,342
Adrian was
obsessed with Danny.

616
00:30:09,442 --> 00:30:10,777
Anything he said

617
00:30:10,877 --> 00:30:13,813
or instructed him to do,

618
00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:17,017
he was such a follower

619
00:30:17,117 --> 00:30:18,151
when it came to Danny.

620
00:30:19,853 --> 00:30:21,254
It could be
the first time he felt safe

621
00:30:21,354 --> 00:30:23,023
to explore violence with

622
00:30:23,123 --> 00:30:24,758
seemingly no consequence.

623
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:58,992
Once Mese
notarizes the documents

624
00:30:59,092 --> 00:31:00,994
and the bank stamps
their approval,

625
00:31:01,094 --> 00:31:02,295
Lugo and Doorbal

626
00:31:02,395 --> 00:31:05,065
start to cash in
on Schiller's assets,

627
00:31:05,165 --> 00:31:08,201
about two weeks
into his captivity.

628
00:31:08,301 --> 00:31:10,804
They start living
on Schiller's property,

629
00:31:11,404 --> 00:31:12,872
wearing his watch,

630
00:31:12,972 --> 00:31:15,241
his Presidential Rolex watch,

631
00:31:15,342 --> 00:31:16,576
wearing all his jewelry.

632
00:31:18,345 --> 00:31:21,948
They're now driving around
in a $100,000 Mercedes.

633
00:31:23,883 --> 00:31:25,885
I can definitely see Lugo
and Doorbal being

634
00:31:25,985 --> 00:31:28,621
people who felt like nobodies
most of their lives.

635
00:31:28,722 --> 00:31:30,724
And then all of a sudden
they feel like somebody.

636
00:31:33,927 --> 00:31:35,328
I ran into Adrian

637
00:31:35,428 --> 00:31:37,330
in the parking lot of Sun Gym.

638
00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:38,331
He had

639
00:31:39,099 --> 00:31:40,100
a nice watch.

640
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,135
He had a nice ring.

641
00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:44,170
He had some nice clothing.

642
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:47,841
And he told me that he was
doing very well at Sun Gym.

643
00:31:49,109 --> 00:31:52,312
I was very happy
that he had finally gotten

644
00:31:52,412 --> 00:31:55,548
some of the things
that he wanted and that he was

645
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:57,350
attaining some of his goals.

646
00:31:58,218 --> 00:31:59,552
Little did I know that

647
00:31:59,652 --> 00:32:02,255
at that time there was
a guy tied to a pipe

648
00:32:02,355 --> 00:32:03,523
in a warehouse,

649
00:32:03,623 --> 00:32:05,558
signing away his fortune.

650
00:32:08,728 --> 00:32:10,830
For weeks, while Schiller
was in captivity,

651
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:13,299
he was trying desperately
to figure out who this was.

652
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,770
Listening, trying to get
a cue from something.

653
00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:19,472
Schiller's realizing
they're asking a combination
for the safe.

654
00:32:19,572 --> 00:32:20,974
How do they know
about the safe?

655
00:32:21,074 --> 00:32:23,309
And he realizes Delgado's
the only one who knows about

656
00:32:23,410 --> 00:32:25,278
the safe other than him
and his wife.

657
00:32:25,378 --> 00:32:28,314
So that makes him
come to the realization

658
00:32:28,415 --> 00:32:29,549
that this friend,

659
00:32:29,649 --> 00:32:31,718
who he helped
in a time of need,

660
00:32:32,786 --> 00:32:34,387
is involved in his kidnapping.

661
00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:39,025
They would always talk

662
00:32:39,125 --> 00:32:40,827
outside the hearing distance

663
00:32:40,927 --> 00:32:42,195
of Marc

664
00:32:42,295 --> 00:32:44,698
in an anteroom
of this warehouse.

665
00:32:44,798 --> 00:32:46,966
But Marc would listen
very carefully

666
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,369
and he heard the lisp.

667
00:32:50,170 --> 00:32:53,006
Danny had a kind of lisp

668
00:32:53,106 --> 00:32:54,007
when he spoke.

669
00:32:54,107 --> 00:32:56,743
Similar to Mike Tyson.

670
00:32:56,843 --> 00:32:58,778
Now he knows that Lugo

671
00:32:58,878 --> 00:32:59,813
and Delgado

672
00:33:00,580 --> 00:33:02,482
are heading up
this kidnapping.

673
00:33:06,886 --> 00:33:10,557
The Sun Gym Gang has
tortured Schiller for weeks.

674
00:33:10,657 --> 00:33:12,392
The time it's taken
for most of his assets

675
00:33:12,492 --> 00:33:14,294
to transfer over to them.

676
00:33:15,228 --> 00:33:16,563
The original plan

677
00:33:16,663 --> 00:33:18,765
was to ship Marc
off to Colombia.

678
00:33:19,232 --> 00:33:20,200
But then

679
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:22,002
Delgado remembers something

680
00:33:22,102 --> 00:33:23,937
that changes the plan.

681
00:33:24,037 --> 00:33:27,040
Jorge Delgado knew
he had a two million dollar
life insurance policy

682
00:33:27,140 --> 00:33:27,841
for his wife.

683
00:33:29,175 --> 00:33:31,277
So they're
having him call his lawyer
to say he found

684
00:33:31,378 --> 00:33:33,913
a girl that he's in love with
and he's leaving his wife.

685
00:33:34,848 --> 00:33:36,549
Lugo plans to have Schiller

686
00:33:36,649 --> 00:33:40,387
designate a new
life insurance beneficiary.

687
00:33:40,487 --> 00:33:43,356
They use the name
Lillian Torres, which was

688
00:33:43,456 --> 00:33:46,192
Danny's first wife who he
still maintained contact with.

689
00:33:47,627 --> 00:33:49,629
Why? 'Cause Danny knew

690
00:33:49,729 --> 00:33:51,531
Lillian was gullible.

691
00:33:51,631 --> 00:33:54,134
And he could tell Lillian,
"Sign this paper."

692
00:33:54,234 --> 00:33:55,669
She'll sign it blindly.

693
00:33:57,303 --> 00:33:58,738
They had him

694
00:33:58,838 --> 00:34:00,106
sign over

695
00:34:00,206 --> 00:34:02,876
his life insurance policy.

696
00:34:04,711 --> 00:34:07,247
After they had
the life insurance signed,

697
00:34:07,347 --> 00:34:09,382
after they knew where
all the accounts were,

698
00:34:09,482 --> 00:34:10,283
after everything,

699
00:34:10,383 --> 00:34:11,851
approximately
four weeks' time...

700
00:34:13,219 --> 00:34:15,388
everybody's tired
of dealing with Marc.

701
00:34:16,256 --> 00:34:17,524
So

702
00:34:17,624 --> 00:34:18,792
they're gonna have
to kill him.

703
00:34:34,974 --> 00:34:37,243
Everything
Marc Schiller once had

704
00:34:37,344 --> 00:34:40,980
now belongs to
the Sun Gym Sadists.

705
00:34:41,081 --> 00:34:43,950
There's only one thing left
on their to-do list.

706
00:34:57,697 --> 00:34:58,665
They make the leap

707
00:34:58,765 --> 00:35:01,101
between the kidnap
and torture and murder

708
00:35:01,201 --> 00:35:04,270
because they just have
gotten so far into it

709
00:35:04,371 --> 00:35:07,273
that they saw
no other alternative.

710
00:35:09,476 --> 00:35:10,944
Just get rid of him

711
00:35:11,044 --> 00:35:13,847
and have him not be able
to ever tell anybody
anything that had happened.

712
00:35:15,148 --> 00:35:16,282
Lugo and Doorbal

713
00:35:16,383 --> 00:35:19,786
come up with a plan
to stage Marc's suicide.

714
00:35:19,886 --> 00:35:21,788
"Well, let's make him
look like a drunk.

715
00:35:22,455 --> 00:35:24,524
Cops hate drunks.

716
00:35:24,624 --> 00:35:26,659
We'll make it look like
he killed himself in a DUI."

717
00:35:29,929 --> 00:35:31,364
They start giving him
alcohol to drink.

718
00:35:31,464 --> 00:35:33,233
He's not a drinker,
but now he is.

719
00:35:36,069 --> 00:35:38,905
And they have him
call his wife in Colombia.

720
00:35:40,674 --> 00:35:42,742
And his wife puts

721
00:35:42,842 --> 00:35:45,078
his eight-year-old son
on the phone.

722
00:35:45,178 --> 00:35:47,947
And his eight-year-old son
says to him,

723
00:35:48,048 --> 00:35:49,482
"Daddy, when are you
coming back?"

724
00:35:51,518 --> 00:35:52,952
And he says, "Soon."

725
00:35:54,654 --> 00:35:55,755
He knows
they're gonna kill him.

726
00:35:55,855 --> 00:35:57,924
And he's talking to his son
for the last time

727
00:35:58,024 --> 00:35:58,925
and telling him,
"I'll be home soon."

728
00:36:02,028 --> 00:36:05,432
This was one of the most
impactful moments for me.

729
00:36:05,532 --> 00:36:07,534
Because he knows
he's never gonna see
his son again.

730
00:36:11,805 --> 00:36:13,506
After he finishes that call...

731
00:36:16,343 --> 00:36:17,243
they're feeding him alcohol
and they give him

732
00:36:17,344 --> 00:36:18,845
something else to drink.

733
00:36:18,945 --> 00:36:20,347
He doesn't know what it is,

734
00:36:20,447 --> 00:36:22,749
but it makes his mind swim.

735
00:36:22,849 --> 00:36:23,983
And he falls on the floor.

736
00:36:26,219 --> 00:36:28,555
They brought
his Toyota 4Runner

737
00:36:28,655 --> 00:36:29,522
to the warehouse.

738
00:36:32,392 --> 00:36:33,560
They strap him in

739
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:35,028
in the passenger seat.

740
00:36:35,128 --> 00:36:37,597
And they drive to
some warehouse area

741
00:36:38,665 --> 00:36:40,266
near Miami
International Airport.

742
00:37:43,363 --> 00:37:44,698
"Run him down, run him down."

743
00:38:17,263 --> 00:38:18,465
And they hit him. Boom.

744
00:38:23,003 --> 00:38:23,770
Then he says, "Hit him again."

745
00:38:23,870 --> 00:38:25,405
And they go back
over his body.

746
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:29,476
He drives,
goes over him twice. You know,
"Make sure he's dead.

747
00:38:29,576 --> 00:38:31,311
Make sure he's dead."

748
00:38:31,411 --> 00:38:33,179
And then they're about to
go over him again

749
00:38:33,279 --> 00:38:34,647
when they see some headlights

750
00:38:34,748 --> 00:38:37,450
approaching down
a side street.

751
00:38:37,550 --> 00:38:39,953
And so they tear away
before the car can get

752
00:38:40,053 --> 00:38:41,054
within sight.

753
00:38:49,262 --> 00:38:51,164
Marc Schiller
woke up in the hospital.

754
00:38:52,565 --> 00:38:54,601
He knows something horrible
has happened to him.

755
00:39:02,876 --> 00:39:05,278
He remembered
all of his captivity.

756
00:39:07,514 --> 00:39:09,449
But he has
no idea how he got...

757
00:39:11,084 --> 00:39:13,253
from the warehouse
to the hospital.

758
00:39:16,489 --> 00:39:18,058
When he woke up,
he's a human zipper.

759
00:39:18,158 --> 00:39:21,094
He's cut from his chest
to his groin

760
00:39:21,194 --> 00:39:22,362
and he has no spleen.

761
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,003
Schiller had
a broken pelvis,

762
00:39:30,103 --> 00:39:32,939
rib fractures, a broken leg.

763
00:39:34,207 --> 00:39:35,475
He was a mess.

764
00:39:36,843 --> 00:39:38,511
I would get stuck by a pencil

765
00:39:38,611 --> 00:39:40,447
and I would die
of lead poisoning.

766
00:39:40,547 --> 00:39:42,849
This guy Schiller
gets lit on fire,

767
00:39:42,949 --> 00:39:44,351
hit with a car...

768
00:39:44,451 --> 00:39:46,586
...backed over,
and he's still alive.

769
00:39:46,686 --> 00:39:49,389
-Schiller
then asks the nurse,

770
00:39:49,489 --> 00:39:51,057
the nurse says,
"You were in a DUI accident."

771
00:39:53,326 --> 00:39:54,828
He says, "No."

772
00:39:54,928 --> 00:39:57,163
He immediately starts
trying to get the nurse

773
00:39:57,263 --> 00:39:58,965
to give him a phone,

774
00:39:59,699 --> 00:40:01,368
so he can call his lawyer

775
00:40:01,468 --> 00:40:04,704
so he can stop the transfers
of whatever they're taking.

776
00:40:04,804 --> 00:40:06,506
But the nurse
doesn't believe it.

777
00:40:06,606 --> 00:40:09,342
The nurse just says,
"You're drunk
and you hit a pole,"

778
00:40:09,442 --> 00:40:10,810
and just walks away.

779
00:40:12,512 --> 00:40:13,913
And it's driving him crazy.

780
00:40:14,014 --> 00:40:17,517
He's laying in this bed,
trying to tell somebody.

781
00:40:17,617 --> 00:40:19,486
And he doesn't call the police

782
00:40:19,586 --> 00:40:21,087
because he knew
the police would ask

783
00:40:21,187 --> 00:40:22,455
too many questions
about his money

784
00:40:22,555 --> 00:40:24,457
and he wanted his money back.

785
00:40:24,557 --> 00:40:26,226
They're not going
to care so much

786
00:40:26,326 --> 00:40:27,660
about getting the money back,

787
00:40:27,761 --> 00:40:29,963
especially if they think
the money is dirty.

788
00:40:31,898 --> 00:40:33,233
Finally, he convinces a nurse

789
00:40:33,333 --> 00:40:35,301
-to give him a phone
and he calls his lawyer.

790
00:40:35,402 --> 00:40:38,071
And he tells
his lawyer what happened.

791
00:40:38,171 --> 00:40:40,073
And his lawyer says,
"I knew something was up.

792
00:40:40,173 --> 00:40:41,641
It didn't sound like you."

793
00:40:41,741 --> 00:40:43,543
He says, "You're
not safe in the hospital."

794
00:40:45,111 --> 00:40:45,979
His attorney says,

795
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:48,114
"They're gonna
find you in that hospital.

796
00:40:48,214 --> 00:40:49,816
You better get out of there."

797
00:40:54,888 --> 00:40:58,324
The Sun Gym gang doesn't know
that Marc Schiller survived.

798
00:40:59,025 --> 00:41:00,260
But once they find out,

799
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,163
they'll be determined
to finish what they started.

800
00:41:03,263 --> 00:41:04,731
But the money
they took from Schiller

801
00:41:04,831 --> 00:41:06,366
won't last long.

802
00:41:06,466 --> 00:41:08,768
To keep living
like Miami elite,

803
00:41:08,868 --> 00:41:10,837
they'll need new victims.

804
00:41:10,937 --> 00:41:12,672
And when they
find those victims,

805
00:41:12,772 --> 00:41:15,308
the Sun Gym Sadists
will reach new depths

806
00:41:15,408 --> 00:41:18,912
of violence,
horror and madness.

807
00:41:30,390 --> 00:41:34,127
The day after
they staged Marc Schiller's
horrific suicide,

808
00:41:34,227 --> 00:41:36,062
the Sun Gym gang assumes

809
00:41:36,162 --> 00:41:38,465
they were successful
in killing him.

810
00:41:38,565 --> 00:41:40,900
Then they notice a problem.

811
00:41:41,001 --> 00:41:43,837
The Sun Gym gang
is looking through the paper,

812
00:41:43,937 --> 00:41:46,339
doesn't see any reference
to this accident,

813
00:41:46,439 --> 00:41:48,241
so they start calling
the local hospitals.

814
00:41:49,809 --> 00:41:51,578
Eventually, they
worked their way

815
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:53,313
to Jackson Memorial Hospital,
which says,

816
00:41:54,347 --> 00:41:56,316
"Oh, yeah, we have
a Marc Schiller in ICU."

817
00:42:13,433 --> 00:42:16,369
What Lugo and his crew
was going to do,

818
00:42:17,804 --> 00:42:19,839
was go to the hospital,

819
00:42:19,939 --> 00:42:23,376
take Schiller out,
I mean, kill him.

820
00:43:29,042 --> 00:43:32,445
So they're walking the halls,
looking for ICU.

821
00:43:38,084 --> 00:43:40,253
The crew is coming,
they get to the room.

822
00:43:47,994 --> 00:43:48,862
No Marc Schiller.

823
00:43:55,969 --> 00:43:59,005
Schiller reached out
to his sister,
who lives in New York.

824
00:44:01,508 --> 00:44:03,777
The sister made arrangements
with air ambulance

825
00:44:03,877 --> 00:44:05,745
to transfer him
from Jackson Memorial Hospital

826
00:44:05,845 --> 00:44:07,180
to a New York hospital.

827
00:44:12,652 --> 00:44:13,820
They just missed him.

828
00:44:30,370 --> 00:44:32,872
When he finally leaves
the hospital in New York,

829
00:44:32,972 --> 00:44:34,441
the first thing
he does is he runs

830
00:44:34,541 --> 00:44:35,675
to his wife in Colombia

831
00:44:35,775 --> 00:44:37,811
because he doesn't know
who the heck he can trust.

832
00:44:37,911 --> 00:44:39,579
So, barely able to walk,

833
00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:43,149
he gets on a flight
and goes to Colombia.

834
00:44:43,249 --> 00:44:46,820
Marc Schiller
reunites with his wife
and children in Colombia,

835
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,491
finally safe from the terror
of the Sun Gym gang.

836
00:44:51,591 --> 00:44:55,628
While he's in Colombia,
Schiller calls Ed Du Bois.

837
00:44:55,729 --> 00:44:58,932
He was a talented
private investigator.

838
00:44:59,032 --> 00:45:01,868
Ed Du Bois goes to work
tracking down what happened.

839
00:45:01,968 --> 00:45:04,738
While Marc Schiller
works with Ed Du Bois

840
00:45:04,838 --> 00:45:07,741
to try and get his assets
transferred back to him,

841
00:45:07,841 --> 00:45:11,711
the gang continues
to spend his money
like there's no tomorrow.

842
00:45:11,811 --> 00:45:15,849
This group now
is just wealthy.

843
00:45:15,949 --> 00:45:19,619
They have a great cushion
and they're going to live

844
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,254
the Miami vice life.

845
00:45:21,921 --> 00:45:23,823
Danny, Doorbal...

846
00:45:23,923 --> 00:45:27,293
They're driving around
in very fancy cars,

847
00:45:27,394 --> 00:45:29,629
and hanging out
at Schiller's house.

848
00:45:49,149 --> 00:45:52,185
They rent themselves
some fabulous apartments

849
00:45:52,285 --> 00:45:55,355
in an up and coming area
called Miami Lakes.

850
00:45:55,455 --> 00:45:57,023
Beautiful.

851
00:45:57,123 --> 00:45:59,793
And they have all of Marc's
beautiful furnishings.

852
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,162
It's crazy how fast these guys

853
00:46:02,262 --> 00:46:04,664
blew this money
on crazy stuff.

854
00:46:04,764 --> 00:46:06,032
I think that
being able to show

855
00:46:06,132 --> 00:46:07,500
that you have that wealth

856
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,402
showed you made it, you know,

857
00:46:09,502 --> 00:46:12,806
or at least at that moment
looked like you made it.

858
00:46:12,906 --> 00:46:18,244
The thing to do for these guys
is go to the strip club.

859
00:46:18,345 --> 00:46:20,246
Now they're not just
going to go to any strip club.

860
00:46:20,347 --> 00:46:23,450
They're going to go
to the high-end strip club.

861
00:46:23,550 --> 00:46:25,452
The place
was called Solid Gold.

862
00:46:26,886 --> 00:46:28,054
They feel like somebody.

863
00:46:28,154 --> 00:46:29,923
They've got money,
they've got stuff,

864
00:46:30,023 --> 00:46:32,459
and they've got
people around them
that are like that.

865
00:46:34,327 --> 00:46:36,296
Danny and Doorbal.

866
00:46:37,530 --> 00:46:39,366
They were high rollers.

867
00:46:39,466 --> 00:46:43,670
So they had a private area
in the VIP spot.

868
00:46:43,770 --> 00:46:46,072
And they had their pick
of the girls that they wanted.

869
00:46:48,008 --> 00:46:50,343
Danny took a liking

870
00:46:50,443 --> 00:46:52,912
to a Romanian woman
named Sabina.

871
00:46:54,180 --> 00:46:57,017
She had been a Penthouse model
and she was exquisite.

872
00:46:57,117 --> 00:46:59,919
She was the second runner up
to Miss Romania.

873
00:47:01,321 --> 00:47:06,126
Doorbal took a shining
to one of the girls
named Beatriz.

874
00:47:06,226 --> 00:47:09,129
The Sun Gym gang
is busy living large,

875
00:47:09,229 --> 00:47:11,865
and has forgotten
all about Marc Schiller,

876
00:47:11,965 --> 00:47:15,435
but Schiller
hasn't forgotten about them.

877
00:47:15,535 --> 00:47:19,372
Ed Du Bois
has got this memo
that Schiller wrote,

878
00:47:19,472 --> 00:47:22,075
detailing what happened to him
and who was involved.

879
00:47:22,175 --> 00:47:25,211
Schiller
might not know
all the guys involved,

880
00:47:25,311 --> 00:47:28,248
but he tells Du Bois
about the two he does know.

881
00:47:28,348 --> 00:47:31,017
His old partner,
Jorge Delgado,

882
00:47:31,117 --> 00:47:32,752
and Danny Lugo.

883
00:47:32,852 --> 00:47:36,389
And as Ed
is looking through
the paperwork,

884
00:47:37,223 --> 00:47:40,026
he notices that
the deed transfers

885
00:47:40,126 --> 00:47:43,029
were notarized
by John Carl Mese

886
00:47:43,129 --> 00:47:44,931
the owner of Sun Gym,

887
00:47:45,031 --> 00:47:48,368
and he actually knows Mese.

888
00:47:48,468 --> 00:47:52,906
So he goes over
to Mese's office,
to meet with him.

889
00:47:53,006 --> 00:47:56,009
He starts confronting Mese.
He goes, "John,

890
00:47:56,109 --> 00:48:00,513
why is your signature here
notarizing these documents?"

891
00:48:03,016 --> 00:48:04,851
So Mese then starts to back up

892
00:48:04,951 --> 00:48:07,754
and come up with explanations
and says, "You know what?

893
00:48:07,854 --> 00:48:10,824
Let me just set up
a meeting with Delgado

894
00:48:11,958 --> 00:48:13,393
to explain
what happened here."

895
00:48:14,928 --> 00:48:17,664
Ed Du Bois makes
contingency plans

896
00:48:18,231 --> 00:48:19,966
of telling everybody,

897
00:48:20,066 --> 00:48:21,835
"Hey, if anything
happens to me..."

898
00:48:29,242 --> 00:48:31,144
"This is
what I'm working on,

899
00:48:31,244 --> 00:48:32,912
these are the guys involved."

900
00:48:33,013 --> 00:48:35,515
Knowing he's dealing
with very dangerous people.

901
00:48:51,131 --> 00:48:53,667
Ed Du Bois shows up
for this meeting.

902
00:48:53,767 --> 00:48:56,236
Mese puts him
in this office to wait

903
00:48:56,336 --> 00:48:58,038
because Delgado
is not there yet.

904
00:48:58,138 --> 00:49:00,907
So while he's
waiting in that office,

905
00:49:01,007 --> 00:49:02,942
he starts looking
in the garbage can.

906
00:49:03,743 --> 00:49:04,644
You know, just curious.

907
00:49:05,912 --> 00:49:08,314
And all of a sudden,
he starts pulling out

908
00:49:09,215 --> 00:49:12,218
extremely
incriminating documents.

909
00:49:14,187 --> 00:49:16,056
All these
incriminating statements

910
00:49:16,156 --> 00:49:18,091
that showed transfer of money,

911
00:49:18,191 --> 00:49:20,160
into what company
they were flushed through,

912
00:49:22,362 --> 00:49:24,931
are sitting right there
in the garbage can.

913
00:49:25,031 --> 00:49:30,236
We've seen oftentimes
that criminals can be smart

914
00:49:30,337 --> 00:49:32,706
and then dumb
at the same time.

915
00:49:32,806 --> 00:49:36,142
And they discovered
all these documents

916
00:49:36,242 --> 00:49:38,878
in the trash,
with Schiller's name on it.

917
00:49:38,978 --> 00:49:42,816
I mean, come on, that's dumb.

918
00:49:44,984 --> 00:49:46,820
Du Bois
grabs the documents

919
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,522
and puts them
in his briefcase just in time.

920
00:49:50,724 --> 00:49:51,891
Delgado shows up.

921
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,396
They show him the memo
that Schiller wrote

922
00:49:56,496 --> 00:49:58,365
detailing what
happened to him.

923
00:49:58,465 --> 00:50:00,834
He tries to come up
with some explanation,

924
00:50:00,934 --> 00:50:02,769
but Du Bois is in his face.

925
00:50:04,170 --> 00:50:05,939
Du Bois is going right at him.

926
00:50:06,639 --> 00:50:10,443
And finally, Delgado says,

927
00:50:10,543 --> 00:50:12,579
"We're not gonna
talk about this anymore.

928
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:17,951
We're going to give him
all of his $1.2 million back.

929
00:50:19,252 --> 00:50:22,322
But we're gonna need
in exchange for him

930
00:50:22,422 --> 00:50:25,125
to sign a contract that says
he will not go to the police

931
00:50:25,225 --> 00:50:26,893
and tell them any
of these allegations

932
00:50:26,993 --> 00:50:29,729
that are contained
in this memo."

933
00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:32,432
He thinks that's going
to be a legal document,
by the way.

934
00:50:32,532 --> 00:50:34,367
You never give up
your right to go to the cops.

935
00:50:34,467 --> 00:50:36,436
It's not legal.

936
00:50:36,536 --> 00:50:38,972
But, you know,
these guys are not
smashing the atom.

937
00:50:39,539 --> 00:50:42,208
So, Du Bois says,

938
00:50:42,308 --> 00:50:44,010
"Okay, sure."

939
00:50:44,110 --> 00:50:46,713
Because he wants to get
the money back.

940
00:50:46,813 --> 00:50:51,284
Ed Du Bois presents
the bogus contract
to Schiller.

941
00:50:51,384 --> 00:50:54,220
Marc's like,
"That's not a good document.
I don't like that document."

942
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,090
And Schiller
refuses to sign.

943
00:50:57,190 --> 00:50:59,192
Schiller
and Ed Du Bois decide

944
00:50:59,292 --> 00:51:01,461
Lugo is never gonna
give us the money back.

945
00:51:01,561 --> 00:51:04,664
He's just stringing us along
and stringing us along.

946
00:51:04,764 --> 00:51:06,866
So he tells
his private investigator,

947
00:51:06,966 --> 00:51:08,134
"Go to the police."

948
00:51:08,234 --> 00:51:10,770
This private investigator,
he was very well connected

949
00:51:10,870 --> 00:51:13,406
in the community,
very well-respected guy.

950
00:51:13,506 --> 00:51:14,941
Calls a cop that he knows.

951
00:51:15,041 --> 00:51:17,410
And this is how
the conversation goes.

952
00:51:17,510 --> 00:51:19,312
I have
a client who's a Colombian.

953
00:51:19,412 --> 00:51:21,014
"He got kidnapped
for four weeks..."

954
00:51:21,114 --> 00:51:22,916
"And he
signed over all of his stuff."

955
00:51:23,016 --> 00:51:25,819
"Where is he?" "In Colombia."

956
00:51:25,919 --> 00:51:27,287
"Is he
going to come and talk to us?"

957
00:51:28,488 --> 00:51:30,890
Schiller's terrified
about coming to Miami.

958
00:51:30,990 --> 00:51:32,726
He knows if they see him,
they're going to kill him.

959
00:51:32,826 --> 00:51:36,396
And he doesn't know
are the cops involved
in this, you know.

960
00:51:36,496 --> 00:51:38,198
So he doesn't know
if it's like a connection

961
00:51:38,298 --> 00:51:39,833
between Lugo and the cops.

962
00:51:42,202 --> 00:51:44,471
But he agrees to come
for a very short visit.

963
00:51:45,438 --> 00:51:47,474
He flies in.

964
00:51:47,574 --> 00:51:51,111
They go over to the Metro-Dade
police's headquarters.

965
00:51:52,312 --> 00:51:55,181
And they don't believe him.

966
00:51:58,551 --> 00:52:01,521
They think he's just
a cocaine trafficker

967
00:52:01,621 --> 00:52:04,891
trying to get them to take out
his competition for him.

968
00:52:07,527 --> 00:52:09,796
But I can understand why.

969
00:52:09,896 --> 00:52:12,332
Here's a guy who claims
all this happened to him...

970
00:52:18,271 --> 00:52:20,473
And what does he do
when he escapes?

971
00:52:21,708 --> 00:52:22,809
He flees the country.

972
00:52:24,144 --> 00:52:25,945
And then he
doesn't call the police

973
00:52:26,713 --> 00:52:28,581
for a month or more.

974
00:52:28,682 --> 00:52:32,252
So they think this guy
is full of garbage.

975
00:52:36,556 --> 00:52:39,025
Schiller hightails it
back to Colombia.

976
00:52:39,859 --> 00:52:41,728
Frustrated, defeated,

977
00:52:41,828 --> 00:52:45,565
and no closer to getting
any of his money back.

978
00:52:45,665 --> 00:52:47,400
But these guys
don't have the money.

979
00:52:48,401 --> 00:52:50,403
They've been living high
on the hog

980
00:52:50,503 --> 00:52:51,538
since they kidnapped him.

981
00:52:51,638 --> 00:52:54,240
They're driving his cars,

982
00:52:54,341 --> 00:52:57,043
wearing his
presidential Rolex,

983
00:52:57,143 --> 00:53:01,147
dropping $2,000 to $3,000
at a time of Schiller's money.

984
00:53:02,248 --> 00:53:04,551
So they don't even have
1.2 million to give.

985
00:53:06,086 --> 00:53:07,887
And that's
when they have to start

986
00:53:07,987 --> 00:53:09,489
looking for the next victim.

987
00:53:12,425 --> 00:53:14,394
I think the quickness
with which this gang

988
00:53:14,494 --> 00:53:15,995
tried to target another person

989
00:53:16,096 --> 00:53:18,932
was, yeah, indicative
of a mindset of like,

990
00:53:19,032 --> 00:53:20,900
"Well, this wasn't as bad
as we thought it would be.

991
00:53:21,001 --> 00:53:23,136
It worked, right."

992
00:53:23,236 --> 00:53:24,704
But maybe they think
in their minds

993
00:53:24,804 --> 00:53:27,307
that we've got
this plan down now,
and they're jonesing.

994
00:53:29,275 --> 00:53:32,445
They've been dating all these
strippers from Solid Gold.

995
00:53:32,545 --> 00:53:36,616
And Doorbal is sitting with
his new girlfriend, Beatriz,

996
00:53:36,716 --> 00:53:38,918
who's a dancer at Solid Gold,

997
00:53:39,019 --> 00:53:40,553
looking through a photo album.

998
00:53:41,721 --> 00:53:44,224
He sees this
beautiful yellow Lamborghini.

999
00:53:44,324 --> 00:53:46,826
At the time, a quarter-
of-a-million-dollar car,

1000
00:53:46,926 --> 00:53:49,496
and he goes,
"Wow. Who owns that?"

1001
00:53:53,533 --> 00:53:56,069
She says, "Oh, that's my
ex-boyfriend Frank Griga.

1002
00:53:56,169 --> 00:53:58,672
He made a lot of money
in 976 numbers."

1003
00:53:58,772 --> 00:54:01,307
Those porn phone lines
that used to exist.

1004
00:54:04,444 --> 00:54:06,813
Frank Griga
was a Hungarian immigrant.

1005
00:54:06,913 --> 00:54:09,449
He was a classic
American immigrant story.

1006
00:54:11,551 --> 00:54:14,054
He came over with
like 10 bucks in his pocket.

1007
00:54:15,488 --> 00:54:16,690
And within a few years

1008
00:54:16,790 --> 00:54:19,492
he had built a multi-
million dollar business.

1009
00:54:21,861 --> 00:54:24,364
He had met a girl
named Krisztina Furton.

1010
00:54:25,532 --> 00:54:27,534
Krisztina had come over
from Hungary also,

1011
00:54:28,601 --> 00:54:30,337
so they had a bond,
a common bond.

1012
00:54:31,304 --> 00:54:32,305
She's a beautiful girl.

1013
00:54:32,972 --> 00:54:34,674
They were a beautiful couple.

1014
00:54:34,774 --> 00:54:38,078
Krisztina was like
a beautiful soul

1015
00:54:38,178 --> 00:54:41,614
and mother-like person
who was always there for you.

1016
00:54:41,715 --> 00:54:44,284
Frank, he was
nice and friendly,

1017
00:54:44,384 --> 00:54:46,553
paid attention
to others, listened,

1018
00:54:47,754 --> 00:54:49,856
said his piece,
if he had something to say.

1019
00:54:51,558 --> 00:54:54,294
Take away
the financial background,

1020
00:54:54,394 --> 00:54:56,296
he was just a regular guy.

1021
00:54:56,396 --> 00:54:58,865
And so Doorbal says,
"Danny and I
would like to meet him."

1022
00:55:04,137 --> 00:55:07,107
Money they bled from
Marc Schiller is running out,

1023
00:55:07,207 --> 00:55:09,876
and now Frank Griga
looks like the next target

1024
00:55:09,976 --> 00:55:12,312
for Danny Lugo and his crew.

1025
00:55:12,412 --> 00:55:16,282
But this time,
the Sun Gym gang's
extortion scheme will end

1026
00:55:16,383 --> 00:55:18,651
with one of the most bizarre
and gruesome

1027
00:55:18,752 --> 00:55:21,254
crime scenes
in Florida history.

1028
00:55:31,531 --> 00:55:34,701
Adrian Doorbal asked
his girlfriend, Beatriz,

1029
00:55:34,801 --> 00:55:38,071
to get him access
to Frank Griga's inner circle.

1030
00:55:39,472 --> 00:55:42,008
Beatriz reaches out to her
my ex-husband.

1031
00:55:42,108 --> 00:55:43,476
Attila was his name.

1032
00:55:43,576 --> 00:55:45,011
He was friends with Frank.

1033
00:56:46,806 --> 00:56:49,442
Frank Griga made his money
in the phone sex business,

1034
00:56:49,542 --> 00:56:51,444
so they decided
they would pitch

1035
00:56:51,544 --> 00:56:53,713
an international
calling business to him.

1036
00:57:12,499 --> 00:57:14,367
Lugo and Doorbal
get all suited up.

1037
00:57:14,467 --> 00:57:15,835
They go over
to Frank Griga's house

1038
00:57:15,935 --> 00:57:17,604
to pitch him
this business idea.

1039
00:58:34,914 --> 00:58:37,617
Using the cover
of a business transaction,

1040
00:58:37,717 --> 00:58:41,454
Lugo and Doorbal start
setting up their real plan.

1041
00:58:41,554 --> 00:58:43,857
But this time
with a smaller crew.

1042
00:58:43,957 --> 00:58:48,161
Lugo decides that only he,
Doorbal, Delgado,

1043
00:58:48,261 --> 00:58:52,098
and Sun Gym owner John Mese
will be in on the score.

1044
00:58:57,671 --> 00:58:59,339
So the plan, of course,

1045
00:58:59,439 --> 00:59:02,208
was to pretty much
repeat the Schiller operation.

1046
00:59:04,177 --> 00:59:06,212
They were going
to hold Frank Griga,

1047
00:59:08,348 --> 00:59:10,350
get everything he owned,
and then...

1048
00:59:13,987 --> 00:59:15,689
They buy duct tape,

1049
00:59:15,789 --> 00:59:19,159
they buy horse tranquilizer
to sedate them.

1050
00:59:19,959 --> 00:59:21,294
They buy everything.

1051
00:59:21,394 --> 00:59:23,229
They don't buy masks

1052
00:59:23,329 --> 00:59:26,666
because there's
no reason for them
to hide their identity.

1053
00:59:26,766 --> 00:59:28,835
Because they're going
to make sure that
they don't survive.

1054
00:59:47,420 --> 00:59:49,189
Lugo and Doorbal
show up at Frank's house.

1055
00:59:49,289 --> 00:59:51,424
Frank and Krisztina
are both there.

1056
00:59:51,524 --> 00:59:53,760
They're going to take them
out for dinner to talk
about the deal.

1057
00:59:53,860 --> 00:59:56,029
They were going to go
to dinner at Shula's.

1058
00:59:58,198 --> 01:00:01,101
Realize Shula's Steakhouse
is actually closed that night.

1059
01:00:03,103 --> 01:00:05,739
So they say, "Listen, let's go
for a drink or something

1060
01:00:05,839 --> 01:00:07,073
at Doorbal's apartment."

1061
01:00:09,876 --> 01:00:12,112
Their plan is...

1062
01:00:12,212 --> 01:00:15,048
Doorbal is going
to tell Frank,

1063
01:00:15,148 --> 01:00:17,350
"Let me show you the setup
that we're envisioning

1064
01:00:17,450 --> 01:00:18,918
on the
telecommunications front."

1065
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,188
Take him into the bedroom

1066
01:00:23,490 --> 01:00:25,859
and incapacitate him.

1067
01:00:25,959 --> 01:00:28,862
While Lugo
is in the living room
with Krisztina.

1068
01:00:30,030 --> 01:00:31,197
So Lugo tells her

1069
01:00:31,297 --> 01:00:33,166
he's gonna show her
this new sound system.

1070
01:00:35,769 --> 01:00:37,203
The woofers
are pounding and...

1071
01:00:45,879 --> 01:00:47,080
Even with that,

1072
01:00:47,180 --> 01:00:48,448
you couldn't hide...

1073
01:00:49,983 --> 01:00:51,718
...the struggle
and fight sounds

1074
01:00:51,818 --> 01:00:53,853
that were coming
from the bedroom.

1075
01:00:53,953 --> 01:00:57,957
And then Doorbal picks up
something heavy and solid.

1076
01:00:59,826 --> 01:01:01,761
Cracks Frank Griga
on the head.

1077
01:01:03,029 --> 01:01:03,963
And in attempting to...

1078
01:01:04,064 --> 01:01:06,266
...And in attempting
to restrain Griga

1079
01:01:06,366 --> 01:01:10,236
Doorbal went too far
and that crack to the head

1080
01:01:10,337 --> 01:01:12,472
basically killed him.

1081
01:01:12,572 --> 01:01:14,674
Frank is not supposed
to get dead in the apartment.

1082
01:01:14,774 --> 01:01:17,777
We're supposed to drive him
to the warehouse alive,

1083
01:01:17,877 --> 01:01:19,813
torturing him, so that
he gives us everything

1084
01:01:19,913 --> 01:01:21,147
so we can get into the house,

1085
01:01:21,247 --> 01:01:23,616
to get his computer,
to get into his accounts.

1086
01:01:23,717 --> 01:01:27,520
And they didn't expect Doorbal
to be so strong

1087
01:01:27,620 --> 01:01:29,956
and so violent
that he killed him.

1088
01:01:32,025 --> 01:01:33,326
Krisztina starts screaming.

1089
01:01:35,695 --> 01:01:37,230
What are they gonna do
with her?

1090
01:01:39,165 --> 01:01:40,266
Well, they're ready.

1091
01:01:41,134 --> 01:01:42,202
Because somehow,

1092
01:01:42,302 --> 01:01:43,636
somewhere,

1093
01:01:43,737 --> 01:01:46,206
they got something
called Rompun.

1094
01:01:46,306 --> 01:01:49,075
It's what you give to a horse
or a cow to tranquilize them

1095
01:01:49,175 --> 01:01:51,311
when you're in a large
animal veterinarian.

1096
01:01:55,448 --> 01:02:00,687
Now, that is an extremely
painful drug when it goes in.

1097
01:02:00,787 --> 01:02:01,855
It's like fire.

1098
01:02:04,424 --> 01:02:06,893
So they shoot her
with one vial of that.

1099
01:02:08,561 --> 01:02:10,597
Now they have
his hysterical girlfriend

1100
01:02:10,697 --> 01:02:12,699
who they've just drugged
with horse tranquilizer.

1101
01:02:12,799 --> 01:02:14,300
She's very doped up.

1102
01:02:14,401 --> 01:02:16,302
And what are they going
to do now?

1103
01:02:31,317 --> 01:02:33,453
So they take
Frank's body

1104
01:02:33,553 --> 01:02:35,355
and they put it
in the bathtub.

1105
01:02:38,458 --> 01:02:40,060
His blood
is going down the drain

1106
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,063
and they are huddling up
and trying to figure out

1107
01:02:43,163 --> 01:02:44,431
what do we do now.

1108
01:02:45,231 --> 01:02:46,466
How are we gonna get assets?

1109
01:02:49,869 --> 01:02:53,540
So Lugo and Doorbal
are in Doorbal's apartment.

1110
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,142
They have one dead body
and a moaning woman.

1111
01:02:57,744 --> 01:03:00,647
Eventually they call Delgado
and they tell him
we've got a problem.

1112
01:03:01,848 --> 01:03:04,584
So Lugo tells Delgado
what the plan is.

1113
01:03:04,684 --> 01:03:08,555
They're gonna take Krisztina,
they're gonna get
the house codes

1114
01:03:08,655 --> 01:03:13,960
because Frank's house
has a digital keypad
rather than a keylock.

1115
01:03:14,060 --> 01:03:16,262
Then they're gonna go in
and take everything they can
from the house.

1116
01:03:17,497 --> 01:03:19,399
They're trying to get
the codes out of her

1117
01:03:19,499 --> 01:03:23,003
and they inject her
with more horse tranquilizer.

1118
01:03:23,103 --> 01:03:24,838
Because every time
she wakes up,

1119
01:03:24,938 --> 01:03:28,308
the only thing she remembers
is seeing
Frank getting murdered.

1120
01:03:28,408 --> 01:03:29,809
So she wants to see him.

1121
01:03:32,278 --> 01:03:35,048
Danny Lugo races
to Griga's house

1122
01:03:35,148 --> 01:03:37,417
and tries the codes
Krisztina gave him.

1123
01:03:41,821 --> 01:03:43,089
It doesn't work.

1124
01:03:44,524 --> 01:03:46,092
So Lugo dials up Doorbal
on the phone

1125
01:03:46,192 --> 01:03:49,829
and says, get new codes,
these don't work.

1126
01:03:49,929 --> 01:03:53,066
So Doorbal walks over
to Krisztina

1127
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:56,603
and comes back to the phone
and says, the bitch is cold.

1128
01:03:59,372 --> 01:04:01,374
Doorbal's response
that the bitch is cold,

1129
01:04:01,474 --> 01:04:02,742
it seems to have no empathy.

1130
01:04:02,842 --> 01:04:05,578
Doorbal had seemingly
shifted personalities

1131
01:04:05,679 --> 01:04:07,914
to this really violent,

1132
01:04:08,014 --> 01:04:10,784
cold killer with no remorse.

1133
01:04:10,884 --> 01:04:12,252
There was something
dormant in him

1134
01:04:12,352 --> 01:04:14,454
that he never had the chance
to kind of practice before

1135
01:04:14,554 --> 01:04:18,725
and this gave him an outlet
and he realized,
okay, no big deal to me.

1136
01:04:21,695 --> 01:04:23,530
And now they have
two dead bodies.

1137
01:04:25,031 --> 01:04:26,399
No money.

1138
01:04:26,499 --> 01:04:30,103
Lugo and Doorbal
have a new problem
on their hands.

1139
01:04:30,203 --> 01:04:33,073
What to do with Frank
and Krisztina's bodies?

1140
01:04:35,008 --> 01:04:36,776
They put him
in a truck.

1141
01:04:40,046 --> 01:04:42,315
And drove them to a warehouse,

1142
01:04:42,415 --> 01:04:45,518
Danny's warehouse, in Hialeah.

1143
01:04:45,618 --> 01:04:48,688
They buy tarps,
they buy hatchets,

1144
01:04:50,023 --> 01:04:52,959
they buy chainsaw, gloves.

1145
01:04:54,461 --> 01:04:56,196
They bring it back
to the warehouse.

1146
01:05:03,436 --> 01:05:06,106
Danny's a little bit away
in, like, an office area

1147
01:05:06,206 --> 01:05:07,540
and he says to Doorbal...

1148
01:05:09,009 --> 01:05:09,943
"You know, have at it."

1149
01:05:12,712 --> 01:05:15,048
Doorbal began dismembering
the bodies.

1150
01:05:17,283 --> 01:05:20,553
Doorbal just keeps on
keeping on
with the violent activities.

1151
01:05:21,755 --> 01:05:23,390
It's charging him up
power-wise,

1152
01:05:23,490 --> 01:05:27,660
feeling like he's the brawn
in the operation.

1153
01:05:27,761 --> 01:05:32,632
Doorbal is trying
to remove their heads
with his chainsaw.

1154
01:05:32,732 --> 01:05:35,568
But it keeps getting stuck
in Krisztina's hair.

1155
01:05:36,870 --> 01:05:39,572
So finally they give up
and they just take a hatchet.

1156
01:05:41,174 --> 01:05:43,109
And they decapitate.

1157
01:05:44,044 --> 01:05:47,280
And remove
the victims' hands and feet.

1158
01:05:48,882 --> 01:05:51,785
They wanna get rid
of the parts of their body
they can identify.

1159
01:05:53,853 --> 01:05:56,356
I was the trial judge
who tried the case.

1160
01:05:57,457 --> 01:05:59,059
This is the most grisly...

1161
01:06:02,395 --> 01:06:04,731
portion of the case
that I remember.

1162
01:06:04,831 --> 01:06:07,534
They start prying and axing
the face

1163
01:06:07,634 --> 01:06:09,336
to get all of the teeth out.

1164
01:06:12,772 --> 01:06:14,708
And then they take the hands
and they're...

1165
01:06:16,209 --> 01:06:18,445
grilling them like a barbecue,

1166
01:06:18,545 --> 01:06:21,047
to try to burn off
the fingerprints.

1167
01:06:22,382 --> 01:06:25,318
Lugo had
a 55-gallon drum

1168
01:06:25,418 --> 01:06:28,722
and was trying
to burn bones...

1169
01:06:29,789 --> 01:06:31,725
right out in front
of the warehouse.

1170
01:06:34,461 --> 01:06:37,030
When he's doing
these hyper-violent acts,

1171
01:06:37,130 --> 01:06:39,132
it's a taking out of revenge
in a sense.

1172
01:06:40,867 --> 01:06:43,269
You represent
that which has wronged me

1173
01:06:43,370 --> 01:06:45,972
and that which is what
I still want or long for.

1174
01:06:49,509 --> 01:06:51,711
They decide
that they're gonna dump

1175
01:06:51,811 --> 01:06:53,813
the bodies
in different places.

1176
01:06:54,981 --> 01:06:59,152
They'll put their torsos
with no heads, hands or feet

1177
01:06:59,252 --> 01:07:02,722
into barrels and dump 'em
in a drainage ditch.

1178
01:07:02,822 --> 01:07:06,493
And they're gonna take
the hands and feet and heads

1179
01:07:06,593 --> 01:07:08,795
and put 'em in paint buckets

1180
01:07:08,895 --> 01:07:11,398
and throw those in the middle
of the Everglades.

1181
01:07:36,589 --> 01:07:38,425
She knew that
Frank and Krisztina

1182
01:07:38,525 --> 01:07:40,026
had been planning
to go on a trip.

1183
01:07:40,126 --> 01:07:42,662
And she knew that
they would never let the dog

1184
01:07:42,762 --> 01:07:46,499
just stay at the house
and be alone and uncared for.

1185
01:08:52,432 --> 01:08:54,100
It's very difficult
to... to figure out

1186
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,835
what gets in somebody's psyche
at that point,

1187
01:08:55,935 --> 01:08:59,372
other than
if they just really
had convinced themselves

1188
01:08:59,472 --> 01:09:01,441
that they were nothing
to them.

1189
01:09:01,541 --> 01:09:03,043
They didn't seem to be
too concerned

1190
01:09:03,143 --> 01:09:05,278
that they were gonna
get caught for this.

1191
01:09:05,378 --> 01:09:07,580
So I guess maybe Doorbal
just says to himself,

1192
01:09:07,681 --> 01:09:09,549
well, okay, no big deal to me.

1193
01:09:30,704 --> 01:09:32,872
Attila
has a bad feeling

1194
01:09:32,972 --> 01:09:35,508
something terrible
has happened
to Frank and Krisztina.

1195
01:09:36,743 --> 01:09:39,646
He reports their disappearance
to Miami police

1196
01:09:39,746 --> 01:09:41,948
and tells them
that Adrian and Danny

1197
01:09:42,048 --> 01:09:44,551
are the last people
his friends were seen with.

1198
01:09:48,922 --> 01:09:50,757
A state
trooper came across

1199
01:09:50,857 --> 01:09:53,259
an abandoned
yellow Lamborghini

1200
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,062
out in the middle
of the Everglades,
out in the swamp.

1201
01:09:57,163 --> 01:09:59,265
Back at Miami-Dade police,

1202
01:09:59,366 --> 01:10:01,001
they're investigating this.

1203
01:10:02,002 --> 01:10:04,671
And Lieutenant Harper
hears the names

1204
01:10:04,771 --> 01:10:06,673
Danny Lugo and Adrian Doorbal.

1205
01:10:07,407 --> 01:10:09,075
And it rang a bell.

1206
01:10:09,175 --> 01:10:11,811
He remembered
those names popping up

1207
01:10:11,911 --> 01:10:14,314
in that bizarre
kidnapping torture case

1208
01:10:14,414 --> 01:10:18,418
with Marc Schiller
that they had looked into
months earlier.

1209
01:10:18,518 --> 01:10:21,388
Lieutenant Harper
calls Ed Du Bois,

1210
01:10:21,488 --> 01:10:23,790
Marc Schiller's
private investigator.

1211
01:10:23,890 --> 01:10:26,493
He says,
"What can you tell me
about these two guys,

1212
01:10:26,593 --> 01:10:27,560
Danny and Adrian?"

1213
01:10:28,395 --> 01:10:29,963
Du Bois hands over

1214
01:10:30,063 --> 01:10:32,198
all the paperwork
that he had uncovered

1215
01:10:32,298 --> 01:10:35,468
in his investigation
of the Schiller theft.

1216
01:10:36,536 --> 01:10:37,404
They started to move,

1217
01:10:37,504 --> 01:10:40,674
to go scoop Doorbal
and Lugo up.

1218
01:10:41,608 --> 01:10:43,009
I signed a warrant.

1219
01:10:43,109 --> 01:10:44,978
The next day, they're back
for another warrant.

1220
01:10:45,078 --> 01:10:46,546
And every time
I'm signing a warrant,

1221
01:10:46,646 --> 01:10:50,617
I'm thinking, this case
just gets crazier and crazier.

1222
01:11:14,641 --> 01:11:16,976
Over 75 officers,

1223
01:11:17,077 --> 01:11:18,345
including a SWAT team,

1224
01:11:19,079 --> 01:11:21,147
went to get Adrian Doorbal,

1225
01:11:23,383 --> 01:11:26,419
John Mese and Jorge Delgado.

1226
01:11:26,519 --> 01:11:29,022
They had search warrants
for their cars,

1227
01:11:29,122 --> 01:11:31,224
their apartments,
their warehouses,

1228
01:11:31,324 --> 01:11:32,759
the Sun Gym,
all the businesses

1229
01:11:32,859 --> 01:11:34,661
they were involved in,
everything.

1230
01:11:35,929 --> 01:11:38,331
The only person
they didn't arrest
that day was...

1231
01:11:39,432 --> 01:11:41,401
Danny Lugo.

1232
01:11:41,501 --> 01:11:45,505
Word had gotten out that,
you know,
we were looking for Danny.

1233
01:11:46,673 --> 01:11:50,610
So Danny,
the girlfriend, Sabina,

1234
01:11:50,710 --> 01:11:52,212
his mother and father,

1235
01:11:53,847 --> 01:11:55,515
had gone to the Bahamas.

1236
01:12:13,667 --> 01:12:15,301
We made a contact

1237
01:12:15,402 --> 01:12:17,771
with a task force,

1238
01:12:17,871 --> 01:12:20,940
FBI agents in the Bahamas,

1239
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:23,243
where Danny was at a hotel.

1240
01:12:27,881 --> 01:12:28,815
Hey!

1241
01:12:30,383 --> 01:12:32,252
They get
international cooperation.

1242
01:12:32,352 --> 01:12:33,920
They flyover.

1243
01:12:34,020 --> 01:12:36,589
They grab Lugo
at a hotel there,

1244
01:12:36,690 --> 01:12:38,658
bring him back.

1245
01:12:38,758 --> 01:12:42,095
Police interrogate
Danny Lugo and Adrian Doorbal

1246
01:12:42,195 --> 01:12:44,931
about Frank Griga
and Krisztina Furton

1247
01:12:45,031 --> 01:12:47,701
and the kidnapping
of Marc Schiller.

1248
01:12:47,801 --> 01:12:50,437
Danny blamed everything
on Adrian.

1249
01:12:51,638 --> 01:12:55,041
"Adrian Doorbal bashed Frank
in the head."

1250
01:12:55,141 --> 01:12:58,078
"Adrian was the one
that injected Krisztina."

1251
01:12:59,346 --> 01:13:03,850
Doorbal never said that
he injected Krisztina

1252
01:13:03,950 --> 01:13:05,352
with the Rompun.

1253
01:13:06,553 --> 01:13:10,023
The only information
that he would provide is that,

1254
01:13:10,123 --> 01:13:11,558
well, yeah,
Frank and Krisztina

1255
01:13:11,658 --> 01:13:13,460
came to our house that night,

1256
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,962
but we're only there
for about an hour.

1257
01:13:16,062 --> 01:13:17,997
And if anything bad
happened to them,

1258
01:13:18,098 --> 01:13:21,701
I have no knowledge
about that.

1259
01:13:21,801 --> 01:13:28,041
And then Doorbal denied having
any involvement
in the Schiller abduction.

1260
01:13:28,141 --> 01:13:31,811
He said that Danny and Jorge
were the ones
that abducted him.

1261
01:13:35,015 --> 01:13:37,951
Lugo knows
that it's all over.

1262
01:13:38,051 --> 01:13:42,222
So he turns on his crew
to save himself.

1263
01:13:42,322 --> 01:13:47,293
So sometimes
the prosecutors have to do
a deal with the devil.

1264
01:13:47,394 --> 01:13:50,130
Lugo knows he's looking
at the death penalty.

1265
01:13:50,897 --> 01:13:51,965
So he decides,

1266
01:13:52,065 --> 01:13:54,034
if they waive
the death penalty,

1267
01:13:54,134 --> 01:13:57,370
or tell the jury
at least that I cooperated,

1268
01:13:58,772 --> 01:14:00,306
I will tell them
where the bodies are.

1269
01:14:01,941 --> 01:14:05,445
So the state says,
okay, we'll do that.

1270
01:14:07,013 --> 01:14:08,615
But the bodies
are hardly a body anymore.

1271
01:14:08,715 --> 01:14:09,783
They've been dismembered.

1272
01:14:09,883 --> 01:14:11,317
He takes them to the torsos.

1273
01:14:14,521 --> 01:14:18,758
I still remember,
though, when they opened up
the barrels...

1274
01:14:20,226 --> 01:14:22,629
and then he took
the torsos out...

1275
01:14:24,898 --> 01:14:29,202
it was very, very sad
to see something like that.

1276
01:14:29,302 --> 01:14:32,405
You know, you're looking
and saying, geez,
this is a human being.

1277
01:14:33,807 --> 01:14:34,908
Look what they did.

1278
01:14:35,008 --> 01:14:39,813
No legs, no heads,
no arms, nothing.

1279
01:14:40,747 --> 01:14:44,284
Just to do these things
that they did,

1280
01:14:44,384 --> 01:14:47,287
they're...
they're evil people.

1281
01:14:49,022 --> 01:14:51,257
Lugo,
in his genius mind,
he's thinking,

1282
01:14:51,358 --> 01:14:54,127
great, they're going
to have bodies
they can't identify.

1283
01:14:54,227 --> 01:14:55,528
And they're not going
to be able to make a case,

1284
01:14:55,628 --> 01:14:58,264
but at least the jury
has to be told
that I cooperated.

1285
01:15:00,100 --> 01:15:01,801
There
was an anonymous call

1286
01:15:01,901 --> 01:15:06,706
that the heads were disposed
of along Alligator Alley.

1287
01:15:09,376 --> 01:15:11,344
We went out there
and there were buckets.

1288
01:15:13,513 --> 01:15:18,451
There was two buckets
with heads, you know,
skulls, and hands.

1289
01:15:20,754 --> 01:15:24,624
Then there was a bucket
with a hatchet in it,

1290
01:15:25,492 --> 01:15:27,260
and a knife was recovered.

1291
01:15:30,063 --> 01:15:34,701
This was absolutely
one of the most gruesome cases
that I had seen.

1292
01:15:36,102 --> 01:15:38,505
This was just really
a gruesome scene.

1293
01:15:41,374 --> 01:15:44,511
The victims' bodies, found,
dismembered and stuffed

1294
01:15:44,611 --> 01:15:49,516
into 55-gallon drums
that were then thrown
into South Florida canals.

1295
01:15:49,616 --> 01:15:51,851
The bodies of Frank Griga
and

1296
01:15:51,951 --> 01:15:53,486
a wealthy Hungarian couple.

1297
01:15:53,586 --> 01:15:57,957
I saw on the news
when they had found them.

1298
01:15:58,058 --> 01:16:01,494
That image stays with me,
you know,
watching the news.

1299
01:16:02,796 --> 01:16:05,065
Firstly, you have answers.

1300
01:16:05,165 --> 01:16:07,600
Secondly, it's not
the good answers.

1301
01:16:10,770 --> 01:16:13,540
So everything just adds
to the tragedy.

1302
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,342
It's not a car crash.

1303
01:16:16,009 --> 01:16:17,577
It's a murder.

1304
01:16:17,677 --> 01:16:19,646
Not just a murder,
it's a gruesome murder.

1305
01:16:19,746 --> 01:16:21,247
Straight up evil.

1306
01:16:23,450 --> 01:16:25,985
I was watching
the news

1307
01:16:26,086 --> 01:16:29,322
and all of a sudden
I see mugshots

1308
01:16:31,491 --> 01:16:33,827
of Adrian Doorbal
and Danny Lugo.

1309
01:16:35,362 --> 01:16:37,130
And I about fell over.

1310
01:16:37,664 --> 01:16:38,965
I couldn't believe it.

1311
01:16:41,134 --> 01:16:44,404
I was just--
I was just in total shock.

1312
01:16:47,140 --> 01:16:49,676
And it's made me very sad

1313
01:16:49,776 --> 01:16:53,580
because that was not
the Adrian that I knew.

1314
01:16:56,416 --> 01:16:59,119
I mean,
Lugo had the vibe he gave out.

1315
01:16:59,853 --> 01:17:01,121
I could imagine him

1316
01:17:01,221 --> 01:17:03,890
as someone
who does something like this.

1317
01:17:05,358 --> 01:17:09,562
But Adrian,
I couldn't place him
in a situation like this.

1318
01:17:10,563 --> 01:17:11,831
Was I wrong?

1319
01:17:11,931 --> 01:17:13,333
Very wrong. Very, very wrong.

1320
01:17:20,407 --> 01:17:22,242
The trials
of Danny Lugo,

1321
01:17:22,342 --> 01:17:25,011
Adrian Doorbal
and John Mese begin.

1322
01:17:25,945 --> 01:17:28,048
Jorge Delgado and Carl Weekes

1323
01:17:28,148 --> 01:17:29,816
had already pled guilty

1324
01:17:29,916 --> 01:17:32,652
and agreed to cooperate
with the prosecution.

1325
01:17:34,154 --> 01:17:36,556
This trial was the only trial

1326
01:17:38,024 --> 01:17:40,360
that caused me
to stop watching the news

1327
01:17:41,161 --> 01:17:42,729
for a while.

1328
01:17:42,829 --> 01:17:45,331
It's like I reached
a threshold

1329
01:17:45,432 --> 01:17:48,668
where I was full
of people suffering.

1330
01:17:48,768 --> 01:17:51,705
It is the most
complicated case
I ever handled.

1331
01:17:51,805 --> 01:17:53,707
It is the most disturbing.

1332
01:17:53,807 --> 01:17:55,141
Chop, chop, chop!

1333
01:17:55,241 --> 01:17:58,311
I was afraid one of the jurors
was gonna throw up

1334
01:17:58,411 --> 01:18:00,780
when looking
at the crime scene photos.

1335
01:18:03,416 --> 01:18:05,151
I mean, so concerned
about that

1336
01:18:05,251 --> 01:18:08,988
that I told my bailiff
to put a garbage can near her

1337
01:18:09,089 --> 01:18:13,593
because I really thought,
you know, she might get sick.

1338
01:18:13,693 --> 01:18:16,062
It was the longest
criminal prosecution
in Miami's history.

1339
01:18:16,162 --> 01:18:19,466
It was the most
expensive criminal prosecution
in Miami's history.

1340
01:18:19,566 --> 01:18:23,903
The indictment itself
is something like 46 counts.

1341
01:18:24,738 --> 01:18:26,673
It took me an hour

1342
01:18:26,773 --> 01:18:29,275
just to read the indictment
to the jury.

1343
01:18:29,376 --> 01:18:32,645
There were about
over a thousand exhibits

1344
01:18:32,746 --> 01:18:34,681
introduced into evidence.

1345
01:18:34,781 --> 01:18:36,349
There were about
a hundred witnesses

1346
01:18:36,449 --> 01:18:38,651
called to testify
on the stand.

1347
01:18:38,752 --> 01:18:41,755
Schiller comes back
from Columbia to testify.

1348
01:18:47,060 --> 01:18:48,962
His testimony
is powerful.

1349
01:18:49,062 --> 01:18:51,131
It's emotional.
It's impactful.

1350
01:18:51,231 --> 01:18:52,432
Everything he goes through,

1351
01:18:53,433 --> 01:18:54,668
we had jurors
that were tearing up.

1352
01:18:55,669 --> 01:18:58,104
And then, on his way out
of the courthouse,

1353
01:18:58,204 --> 01:19:01,541
Marc Schiller was surrounded
by federal agents
and arrested

1354
01:19:01,641 --> 01:19:03,043
for Medicare fraud.

1355
01:19:04,177 --> 01:19:06,846
He was convicted and sentenced
to 46 months in prison.

1356
01:19:14,521 --> 01:19:17,223
After just over
two months of testimony

1357
01:19:17,323 --> 01:19:19,659
and mountains
of gruesome evidence,

1358
01:19:20,460 --> 01:19:23,630
the jury reaches
their verdicts.

1359
01:19:23,730 --> 01:19:26,900
I listened to those verdicts
with my heart in my throat.

1360
01:19:30,136 --> 01:19:31,771
Daniel Lugo is guilty.

1361
01:19:33,106 --> 01:19:35,075
Noel Doorbal is guilty.

1362
01:19:35,942 --> 01:19:37,677
John Carl Mese is guilty.

1363
01:19:39,045 --> 01:19:42,649
I sentenced
Danny Lugo
and Adrian Doorbal to death.

1364
01:19:43,383 --> 01:19:46,619
And I sentenced John Carl Mese

1365
01:19:47,587 --> 01:19:49,489
to 56 years in prison.

1366
01:19:50,957 --> 01:19:52,926
When I sentenced them
to death,

1367
01:19:53,026 --> 01:19:54,494
I remember Lugo teared up.

1368
01:19:56,329 --> 01:19:59,566
Doorbal, like, smirked
and turned around

1369
01:19:59,666 --> 01:20:02,235
to a friend of his
in the audience
and made a face.

1370
01:20:03,570 --> 01:20:05,805
And I thought...

1371
01:20:05,905 --> 01:20:07,774
This guy
has absolutely no limit.

1372
01:20:09,275 --> 01:20:12,412
Doorbal and Lugo
are sentenced to death

1373
01:20:12,512 --> 01:20:14,981
despite Lugo's cooperation

1374
01:20:15,081 --> 01:20:17,817
in locating Frank
and Krisztina's remains.

1375
01:20:17,917 --> 01:20:22,288
Jorge Delgado and Carl Weekes
each get ten years.

1376
01:20:49,616 --> 01:20:53,153
This case changed me
for the rest of my life.

1377
01:20:54,421 --> 01:20:56,656
There is not a day
that goes by

1378
01:20:56,756 --> 01:20:58,625
that I don't think about it.

1379
01:20:58,725 --> 01:21:00,694
I have regrets
introducing them.

1380
01:21:00,794 --> 01:21:03,430
From the moment it happened,

1381
01:21:03,530 --> 01:21:06,166
I thought to myself,
oh, my God,

1382
01:21:06,266 --> 01:21:10,937
they died thinking
that Attila did this to us.

1383
01:21:12,138 --> 01:21:14,307
Now, that's a thought
that stayed with me.

1384
01:21:15,675 --> 01:21:19,245
This experience
made me very aware

1385
01:21:19,346 --> 01:21:24,150
of what people could do
to get what they want.

1386
01:21:24,250 --> 01:21:27,354
It made me not trust people
as much.

1387
01:21:27,454 --> 01:21:30,857
Because if Adrian could do it,
anybody could do it.

1388
01:21:30,957 --> 01:21:33,059
Money, I think,
to them represented

1389
01:21:33,159 --> 01:21:35,095
all the things
they just didn't have

1390
01:21:35,195 --> 01:21:37,097
and they felt ashamed
of not having.

1391
01:21:40,633 --> 01:21:43,536
They felt inadequate
and needed something

1392
01:21:43,636 --> 01:21:45,572
to make them feel adequate.

1393
01:21:45,672 --> 01:21:49,376
They also aspired
to have the American Dream...

1394
01:21:52,245 --> 01:21:54,047
in whatever way
they could get it.

1395
01:21:54,147 --> 01:21:55,982
There are a lot of people
who are greedy out there,

1396
01:21:56,082 --> 01:21:57,851
but there's something
that divides the people

1397
01:21:57,951 --> 01:22:00,553
who are willing
to kill for money

1398
01:22:02,122 --> 01:22:06,192
from the people
who will clean out
your checking account.

1399
01:22:06,292 --> 01:22:09,863
I don't know
what that distinction is,
but these people had it.

1400
01:22:14,934 --> 01:22:18,538
Danny Lugo's death sentence
was commuted
to life in prison.

1401
01:22:18,638 --> 01:22:22,142
Adrian Doorbal
still sits on death row.

1402
01:22:22,242 --> 01:22:26,312
One way or another,
they'll both die behind bars.

1403
01:22:26,413 --> 01:22:29,916
These desperate men
murdered and butchered
two innocent people

1404
01:22:30,016 --> 01:22:33,086
and nearly killed a third
out of pure greed.

1405
01:22:33,186 --> 01:22:35,288
They wanted
the South Beach lifestyle.

1406
01:22:35,388 --> 01:22:38,058
The money,
the cars, the women.

1407
01:22:38,158 --> 01:22:42,629
And they were willing
to commit the most depraved
and violent acts to get it.

1408
01:22:42,729 --> 01:22:46,399
Two brutal monsters,
thankfully, walked away
for good.

1409
01:22:47,133 --> 01:22:48,601
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.

1410
01:22:48,702 --> 01:22:50,103
Thanks for watching.

1411
01:22:50,203 --> 01:22:51,204
Good night.

1412
01:22:52,272 --> 01:22:54,441
Next time on
Very Scary People...

1413
01:22:56,609 --> 01:23:00,380
How many people he killed,
tortured, chopped up.

1414
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:01,948
"Preacher"...

1415
01:23:02,048 --> 01:23:03,516
...turned me into a monster.

1416
01:23:04,951 --> 01:23:06,353
He's just...

1417
01:23:08,121 --> 01:23:09,022
...pure evil.
