Hey everyone. Welcome back to Crime Weekly News. I'm Derek Lavasser.

And I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And we're going to jump right into it today on CWN. We dive into

the heartbreaking case of Giovanni Peltier, an 18-year-old boy who was tragically found dead in a

retention pond in Florida just days after a disturbing series of events. Giovanni, who had traveled to

Florida to connect with relatives from his father's side, would never

make it back home. What started as an innocent visit with family quickly spiraled into confusion
