0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.6	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.6	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.3	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.
0:39.8	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.8	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.
0:50.7	All right, guys, let's get to it.
0:53.3	Welcome back to Boston Confidential.
0:55.8	Just some housekeeping stuff, as we always do at the beginning of each episode.
1:00.8	We got a great response from our episode on Vanessa Marcotte.

1:21.2	trial. Thankfully, he's being held, and they say he's going to be tried sometime this year,
1:29.1	and I'm hoping that's the case,
1:35.2	quite frankly. This is a death penalty case. And I've gotten some correspondence on my view on the death penalty case. I guess I say a lot of things of the death penalty case. But please, tell me how
1:41.3	this is not capital punishment level, right? Because this guy stalks this young
1:47.8	woman who's never done anything but the right thing in her life, at least as far as society goes.
1:54.4	And honestly, up until this point, the guy arrested for her homicide, Angelo Colone Ortiz, had been within the law as well. But in my mind,
2:04.7	what makes this case a death penalty eligible case, a capital crime, is the fact that this
2:12.3	woman's about her own business, right? Just walking about, going for a run, having a drink at a corner store,
2:19.4	and this guy's stalking her. Like, he's a lion on the Serengeti and she's a lesser animal,
