Chapter 21 third chapter

"Sir, if you don't mind, can I wait in the next room with my assistant?" After finishing speaking, my assistant led him away. Immediately afterwards, I arranged for a police officer to look for the employee named Sally among the bank employees, and asked him to "quietly" invite her here.After a while, a young female staff member with long blond hair appeared in this temporarily requisitioned inquiry room. "Hello." "Hi." Sally replied politely. "Don't be nervous, I just want to confirm something." I said with a smile. "Confirm something?" Sally looked a little confused.

"Do you know Bora?" Bora is the name of the bank manager. Hearing this name, Sally was startled, and then said: "Yes, he is our manager." "Where were you when the robbery happened?" I lowered my head, as if asking casually. "I took the document and asked him to sign it in the manager's office." Sally said without hesitation. I nodded: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation." After finishing speaking, I asked the police to take her out of here. "You believe her?" asked my assistant, Kitty Cranfield.It seemed he had some doubts about the conversation.

"Why not, Kitty?" I patted him on the shoulder. "It's just an accident, just an accident." Yes, we often encounter these things in handling cases, and many of them make people laugh and cry.For example, in a homicide case a few years ago, all the evidence pointed to one man.The man, a priest, was unable to provide an alibi at the time of the murder.In the end, however, we learned from an accidental discovery.At the time of the incident, the pastor was in a gay bar!This is really a dumbfounding discovery. Although no new clues have been found, we can rule out the suspicion of staff committing the crime.The suspect is likely to have tracked the cash transport vehicle, mastered every move of the cash withdrawal personnel, and thus obtained the first-hand information they wanted.We have long deduced that this group of robbers may have done just that.

The investigation has stalled.The security company to which the Bank of America and the armored vehicles belong decided to issue a reward notice. If they can provide clues to help the police bring criminals to justice, they will reward the whistleblower with a lot of money.My colleague, Detective Claudine Cruickshanks, offered his opinion on the size of the bounty. "50,000 US dollars is not a small amount, and the general bank robbery reward is not so high, but it is good for us to let the public participate!" "Yes. Any suspicious person carrying a large amount of cash must be arrested first!" When Claudine mentioned money, it suddenly occurred to me that they had brought too much cash. A new target can be traced.

We asked the cooperation of the local police to help us track down people with large amounts of cash; we also notified the airport and asked them to help us find people with large amounts of cash; Cash bail for a criminal, please make sure they notify us. A week after the robbery, we got a call from security at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.Someone asked them if they could pass through security with large amounts of cash and would they set off a metal detector.They took down the calling number and notified us.We used a reverse phone book to find out the caller's address and sent someone to monitor a family in the suburbs of Las Vegas.

People were coming in and out of the house about every half hour.When one comes, the other goes away.Weird, we'd love to know what they're up to.After waiting for several hours, we decided to knock on the door to find out. "Hello. I'm Special Agent Bernadette Cannell of the Las Vegas Police Department. This is Special Agent Claudine Cruickshanks of the FBI. We want to ask you A few questions." Bernadette Carnell and Claudine Cruickshanks went to ask, which we knew would be a warning and would probably send them absconding.But it has the same benefit of being able to know exactly what's going on and being able to put pressure on them to let them out.

In fact, the person who lived there was a piano teacher, and she opened a piano training class.The teacher was going to Utah with $3,000, so he called McCarran Airport and asked if he could get through security.The clues were broken again, and the investigation returned to the starting point again.Later that day, though, a woman called the Las Vegas police department after seeing the reward announcement, claiming she had important information about a bank robbery.We wanted that whistleblower to come to the branch, but she refused our request, she said she could tell us by phone, she didn't want to be found out, she would be in danger.

The whistleblower told us she knew a woman who stripped at a local nightclub.The dancer's name is Patience Wedson, and she's been on a lot of cash lately.The whistleblower then gave us a phone number, from which we tracked down a rental car.We monitored the RV, hoping to find any clues that the two robbers had hidden millions of dollars in cash. A few minutes later, the surveillance team told us that a white GMC pickup had pulled into the driveway.The car was the exact same make and model as the one used by the robbers to get away.We checked the license plate.The truck was registered in Las Vegas and the owner was Emanuel Brougham, according to DMV records.

The driver went in and left a few minutes later, and the surveillance team notified us immediately.Because of the discovery of the GMC pickup, we had ample reason to file for a search warrant.Soon, a secret service team surrounded the RV. We took a lot of people there, you know, the targets of arrest are dangerous elements with guns.They've shot and wounded a cash van guard.We knocked on the RV door, got no answer, kicked it open and started searching. "Police! Don't move! Put your hands behind your head!" The secret service team rushed in and shouted loudly.Inside the car we found a man who identified himself as Israel Pratt and admitted that Patience was his girlfriend.As one team of detectives began searching the RV for evidence, another team rushed to a strip club to interrogate Patience.

We soon found Patience Wedson, who was dancing, and when we told her that we were investigating a case, we hoped that she would cooperate with us.Patience Wedson complied, and she followed us to a box. "FBI, how many questions do I want to ask you?" Claudine Cruickshanks asked straight to the point. "Ask what?" Patience Wedson lit a cigarette and said indifferently. "Have you spent a lot of money recently?" "I earned the money myself, and I can squander it as much as I want! Is there something wrong?" The stripper told us she's spent four years stripping for all the money she's spent recently, and she doesn't know anything about bank robberies.Inside the RV, we're still looking for clues.In the bedroom we find a heavy duty combination safe.This safe looks very new.The RV is littered with junk and doesn't feel like a place for rich people at all.But in such a place, there is a brand new safe.

"What's the code?" we pressed Israel Pratt. "I don't know, the box belongs to my girlfriend!" Israel claimed that the safe belonged to his girlfriend, and only she knew how to open it. "You really don't know?" I asked again, and I felt very angry because I saw the dodge in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was lying. "Yeah, I didn't know, it really belonged to my girlfriend!" Israel didn't know that we split up and got his girlfriend. "We will find out!" I felt that Israel was stubbornly resisting, and said a little angrily.I called Claudine and asked him to ask Patience what the combination was for the safe in the caravan. "The safe is not mine, it's my boyfriend's. How do I know the password?" Patience said in surprise.Obviously Patience betrayed her boyfriend with this sentence, she may not have realized it yet, but it was enough.Claudine told me Patience's answer.We pressed Israel again: "Did you hear that? She said she didn't know the combination and the safe belonged to her boyfriend!" Only at this time did Israel admit that the thing belonged to him, and explained the password of the safe.We opened the safe, and Israel looked a little pale.In the safe, we found $50,000 in cash and several small packets of marijuana.Israel told us that he made the money selling drugs (marijuana) and that he had no idea about the bank robbery, we suspect Israel is lying.But millions of dollars were robbed, and if the money was stolen, where did the rest go? We suspected that Israel Pratt and Patience Wedson were lying because their car was almost identical to the suspect's car, but Israel Pratt said he earned money selling marijuana.Now we have to figure out what happened to another million dollars in cash.We searched the place carefully again, but found nothing.Then, the FBI sent its best interrogation expert, Special Agent Claire Dakin, hoping to pry Israel's mouth open. "How did that money come from?" Claire Dakin asked again.The criminal suspect will have a sense of security in his own residence, and it will be difficult to ask anything.Claire Dakin took Israel to my car for questioning so that he would feel uncomfortable and even a little bit panicked, which is what we needed, as long as he had a hole in his heart, we could Pry his mouth open. "Is that drug money?" Claire Dakin asked casually. "Yes!" Israel still insisted on his original statement. "Then you will be in big trouble!" Claire Dakin said as if thinking of him.However, we can see that Israel Pratt is playing tricks.He knew he was in a bad spot because we had found money and marijuana in the car.He insisted that the money in the safe was earned from selling marijuana.That's not a credible claim, if he could make a lot of money, he wouldn't be living in such a humble RV. "Where's your brother Isolde Jedayin?" Claire Dakin asked calmly. "Don't play tricks, understand?" "I don't know what you're talking about!" Israel denied.Seeing Israel's recalcitrance, we told him that if he cooperated, we could save him from drug charges and keep him out of bank robberies. Hearing that he could avoid prosecution, he thought for a moment and said, "I haven't done any bank robbery." Claire Dakin and I recognized his voice.We said, "Well, Israel, you didn't do the bank robbery, but we're sure you know who did it." He said: "It was my brother Isolde Jadein and his friend Ibby Calverley!" "Are you sure?" We were so lucky and asked in disbelief. "Sure!" Israel said with absolute certainty, looking desperate to avoid lawsuits. "My brother and his friend Ibby Calverley did it. I talked it over with them, but I Didn't think they would actually do it, on the day of the bank robbery they disappeared and I'm sure they did it!" We immediately asked Israel where his brothers Isolde Jedayin and Ebby Calfly were, but Israel told us he had no idea where they were because he hadn't seen them for a long time I have passed the two of them, and it was only the last time I heard them discussing this matter.We kept asking, even using a lie detector, but unfortunately he told the truth, he really didn't know where those two people were. But inside the RV, we found chips and receipts from the Luxor Casino, the same casino that was housed at the strip club.Detective Claire Dakin and I took people to the casino and got in touch with the management there.When we asked them if they knew the whereabouts of Isolde Jedain, they quickly told us that Isolde Jedain was here.The hotel's head of security told us that Isolde Jadein was generous and paid in cash. "Do you know where he is now?" asked Claire Dakin. "It's in the southeast tower, here is his shopping list during this time!" The hotel manager handed Claire Dakin a list.According to the customer information provided by the casino, we judge that since the robbery, Isolde Jadein has been attending various parties.We decided to capture Isolde Jadein, and two agents were waiting outside Isolde Jadein's room for his return. "I really recited it today! Your brother is very proud. (lowering his voice) Here we come!" They pretended to chat. "I, I..." Another detective echoed.But they kept watching Isolde Jadein's actions out of the corner of their eyes. While the two were talking, Isolde Jadein came back. He glanced at the two detectives, but he didn't doubt it, and was about to open his room door. "Don't move! Police!" The two detectives pulled out their pistols and pointed at him the moment he opened the door. "Hands up!" said another agent. Isolde Jadein did not obediently choose to give in. He quickly squatted down to avoid the detective's gun, then stood up suddenly, knocked the gun away from the detective's hand with a lower uppercut, and rushed directly Come up, use your own body to savagely knock away the detectives who are arresting you. "Okay, buddy, stop, you can't escape!" Claire and I rushed out immediately when we saw this situation, pointing our guns at Isolde Jadein.And he didn't pay attention to our words, but jumped directly from the railing of the stairs. "Catch him! Don't let him get away!" I yelled immediately.Claire's gun rang out.But both bullets were fired.Isolde Jadein was fast in stature, and he was very composed.Our agents outside the door also rushed in when they heard the gunshots inside, and happened to meet Isolde Jadein. "Stop! You bastard!" Two agents pointed guns at him.But he suddenly changed his direction and ran directly to the bar next to him. "Stop!" Bang!An agent pulled the trigger in his hand, and the entire casino was in chaos.Several security guards ran over when they heard the sound, and an agent shouted to them: "FBI, we are on duty!" "Don't let him get away, guard the door!" Claire and I chased down and shouted. "Don't worry, he can't run away, he's inside the bar now!" an agent told me as they cornered Isolde Jadein inside. "Is there anyone there?" I asked the security guard next to me. "Yes! A female bartender is inside!" the security guard shouted anxiously. "Come out, Isolde Jedayin, we won't hurt you!" I yelled. "You bastards, I won't believe you, you have to let me go!" Isolde Jadein forced a man to stand up, holding a broken bottle in his hand, which was placed on the woman Below the bartender's neck.The female bartender was obviously terrified, she stood there motionless, at the mercy of Isolde Jadein. "Put down the weapons in your hands! I think we can have a good talk!" I hope he can calm down, we must ensure the safety of the hostages. "Let me go, prepare a car for me!" Isolde Jadein ignored my words and warned again, "Put down the weapons in your hands, or I will kill him!" As he said, he He brought the broken bottle closer to the female bartender's neck. The sharp glass pierced the skin on the female bartender's neck, and blood oozed out. "I'm not joking, put down your weapons!" Isolde Jadein warned us again. And at this time, I suddenly found Claire appearing on top of Isolde Jadein. He climbed over the railing and was preparing for it. He was gesturing to me with his hands. "Okay, take back your weapons, calm down!" I asked all the agents to take back their weapons, and then we made a way out, "There is a car outside, can you let her go?" "I'll let her go later! You all stand back!" Isolde Jadein's voice seemed a little blurred. He didn't seem to know what he was doing, as if he had been hallucinating. "Okay!" We retreated one after another, and Isolde Jadein came out with the hostages, and they walked very slowly.And when he walked out of the bar, he was right under Claire.Isolde Jadein looked very arrogant, he looked at us and laughed. At this moment, Claire jumped down from the top, and before Isolde Jadein could react, Claire directly hit Isolde Jadein on the back of the head with the handle of the pistol, while the other hand Grabbed the hand that held Isolde Jedaine's bottle.The other agents swarmed up, quickly subdued Isolde, and immediately applied for a search warrant to search his room. In the room owned by Isolde, we found several packets of drugs, a gun, and $5,000 in cash.But with nearly a million dollars left unaccounted for, we've zeroed in on the second suspect identified by Israel Pratt, Ibbi Calverley, a friend of Isolde Jadein.But Isolde Jadayin took drugs.If the suspect has taken drugs, no matter what kind of drug, it is useless to ask them anything, and they will not be able to find out.I also know why Isolde Jadein was so bold just now, he is not in a real self state at all, but is living in the hallucination caused by drugs, he just imagines himself as a soldier on the battlefield Soldiers are surrounded by the enemy. We put Ibby Calverley's house under surveillance.Local police and FBI agents surrounded the house.All police forces must approach Iby with caution.This person has been investigated by the police for armed robbery before, and he is an extremely dangerous person.Ibby Calverley is about 26 years old, 1.87 meters tall and weighs 103.5 kilograms.He is a master of hand-to-hand combat, good at fighting, likes guns, and his marksmanship is very accurate. I quickly applied for a warrant and decided to start the operation.The FBI Criminal Snatching Team moved into a predetermined location.Special Agent Bertrand Rosen was part of the arrest team. His job is to watch the streets.He knew that Ibby Calverley had a weapon in his hand, but he was not particularly nervous at the time, and he firmly believed that he could find Ibby Calverley from his observation point.Just as our men were about to approach the house, an SUV suddenly drove up.We felt something was wrong when we saw that SUV, but it didn't wait for us to react.The SUV suddenly accelerated and rushed towards us like crazy, the car seemed to be out of control.We dodged in a hurry.Who knows, when the car stopped suddenly, someone jumped out of the car and ran away.We figured it was Ibby Calverley.He jumped the fence, jumped the back wall of the yard, fled quickly, and was gone in an instant.We immediately began searching the area. But we caught the man driving it, and the man behind the wheel was Ibby Calverley's younger sibling.We imprisoned her on charges of conspiracy.Then we, the FBI and the Las Vegas Police, went door to door in the area to arrest Ibby Calverley.Two blocks away, police dogs caught the fugitive's scent. "Come out, hands up! Come out! Quickly! Hands up! If you don't come out, I'll let the dogs bite you. Come on!" cried Bertrand Rosen, holding the gun.Ibby Calverley was found by a dog team hiding in a family's backyard, masked and with a gun holster over his ankles.Thankfully, officers from the canine unit found the suspect's gun holster was empty. We managed to catch Ibby Calverley when his gun dropped as he climbed over the wall.When he found himself without a weapon, he chose to surrender.We took him back for interrogation.We asked him about the bank robbery and where the money was, but Ibby Calverley told us he didn't know what we were talking about. We could only search the home of Ibby Calverley, and Detective Claire Dakin was interrogating the suspect's wife Sophia: "You must know what's going on here. Where is the money? Tell us where the money is!" "I don't know, officer!" Sophia showed a look of ignorance. We have no choice but to promise Ibby Calverley a reduced sentence if he confesses. "As I said, I don't have any money. If you can't find it, then it's not with me!" Ibi Calverley did not accept the police's persuasion, but chose to continue to fight to the end.We can only continue to investigate his residence, hoping to find evidence of his crime. Evidence search is very organized, not to say that everyone splits up to find the places where they think the evidence may be hidden.Everything was photographed first, then searched room by room, and finally outside the residence.We found a couple of pairs of rubber ties, the same ones used to tie down the cleaning crew.We also recovered several walkie-talkies and other surveillance equipment. In the early hours of the next morning, we found several tote bags in the kennel in the backyard of Ibby Calverley's house.At the time, I couldn't believe that he would put the money in the kennel, but after thinking about it, the kennel is really a good place to hide money. No one will take a look in it, it's too safe.In total, we recovered more than $900,000, about 90 percent of the stolen cash.It took us nearly 10 hours and we didn't finish counting until 4 pm.So far, we have recovered most of the money that was robbed. Isolde Jadein and Ibby Calverley were indicted in U.S. District Court for bank robbery, kidnapping, theft of a vehicle, and use of a firearm in a crime of violence.Two people are being held at the Las Vegas North Detention Center.Our work in the FBI is not over.Because we don't think Isolde Jadein and Ibby Calverley are involved in this case.It is unreasonable for two people to carry out such a big case. Claire Dakin told me that he suspected Ibby Calverley's wife Sophia was involved in the case because of her flawed statement. Afterwards I went to their house and talked to Sofia a few times, and Sofia said she didn't know anything about the bank robbery.She also gave Ebby Calverley an alibi on the night of the murder.She said she spent the night with Ibby Calverley.She couldn't tell where the money and other physical evidence we found at her home came from.Originally, her husband was in prison, and she should be worried about the burden of raising her two daughters independently.Although she said she would cooperate with the police, her statement was not at all credible.This woman is tight-lipped, she has not told the truth, and there is no way for us to get her to tell the truth.Nor does she intend to give us any testimony against her husband, Ibby Calverley, at all. On August 11, 1999, seven months after the Las Vegas bank robbery, Sofia visited her husband, Ibby Calverley, in a detention center.The two of them had a secret conversation, and they seemed to be constantly pulling home, and the two kept talking about the children.Ibby told Sophia that he was doing very well, and told Sophia and the child not to worry.However, when the prison guards were not paying attention, Sophia secretly used a small tool on the key chain to unscrew the screws on the isolation window, and the two were planning to escape. Ibby Calverley removes the bulletproof glass of the visiting room as guards escort a prisoner out.Ibby Calverley crawled through the window and jumped into the little exit.One door closed and the second door opened. During this period, no one realized what he had done.As soon as the second door opened, he pushed his way through the crowd and ran away. Sophia ran out first. She found the gun hidden among the green plants and threw it to Ibby Calverley who followed. The sirens were all going off, and the guards outside knew someone had escaped.Ebby Calverley and Sophia, who were about to flee, bumped into the guards outside, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.To be honest, I admire that Sophia, I can see that she loves her husband very much, but her way is wrong. On August 11, 1999, Ibby Calverley, a suspect in the largest bank robbery in Las Vegas history, escaped from prison with the help of his wife Sophia.The two engaged in a fierce shootout with the guards outside. "Drop your weapons!" the guard yelled.The guards tried to capture Ibby Calverley alive, but the fugitive opened fire. "Bang!" A bullet hit a guard's arm, and the subsequent guards hurriedly hid.Ibby Calverley ran toward the parking lot, where a pickup truck was parked to meet his fleeing vehicle, and the guards immediately returned fire. "Bang! Bang!" The guard's bullet hit the tire of the car, and Ibby Calverley was forced to abandon the car. Suddenly, Sophia rushed over in a car roaring. "Come up! Hurry up!" Sophia rushed to Ibi and stopped suddenly, and the rear door was opened immediately.Ibby jumped on it immediately, and Sophia drove away without waiting for the guard to react.In just a few seconds, they rushed out of range.Afterwards, the guards told us that they had never seen someone who drove the car so elegantly, and Sophia's driving skills were really good.When they drove to hunt down Ibby, they found that they had disappeared without a trace. The prison guards failed to stop their escape, and I find it hard to believe that Ibby Calverley just got away.Although many criminals want to escape from prison, and many have tried, very few actually escape.But once again, Ibby Calverley is a terrible person.Of course, Sophia also has considerable credit. We got involved in this case again, which is the last thing I want to see, you know when the heinous gangsters escape from prison, they will become more manic, because they are wanted everywhere, they have been living in In fear, they dare not go out, dare not meet people, and dare not even look at the sun.They were terrified that those people would see them, that we would find them.When these fears and fears gather to a certain level, a sickness will arise in their hearts, and most criminals of this sickness will choose to kill.Especially those who have killed people before, they will like to kill even more, and even regard killing as a kind of vent.So, we must find them as soon as possible.Once Ibby Calverley gets out of hand, he's bound to kill more people. In search of clues, Claire Dakin and I investigated the suspect's relatives and friends.I think Ibby Calverley must be hiding in the house of relatives and friends, because ordinary criminals will choose their relatives and friends after they escape from prison. In their eyes, only these people are reliable and they will not betray them.As it turns out, both of these theories are correct, and we're usually able to catch some jailbreakers based on this lead.And this time was no exception, when we found out about the apartment where Ebby Calverley's siblings live.Parked in front of the apartment is an Isuzu sedan, which is exactly the same as the car that Ibby Calverley took when he escaped from prison.We checked the license plate and found out that it belonged to Ibby Calverley's wife, Sofia.Saw the car in the parking lot outside.We also got a little excited.We might be able to catch Ibby in no time.Because Ibby Calverley was already a criminal in custody in the Federal District, he was now also under the jurisdiction of the United States Judicial District.I called a few friends of mine who work in the judicial district and told them to come over.We sat in the car wondering if the suspect would come out and get back to his Isuzu.We won't confront him until the Sheriff arrives. The atmosphere was tense, and finally the district governors arrived and we got a warrant for our arrest.The consuls rushed into the apartment with us, only in this way could the effect of a surprise attack be achieved. "Come out, please come out. Can we search your residence? Search! We suspect that there are suspects hiding here!" The younger brother and sister of Ibi Calverley opened the door, and I showed the search warrant. "Okay, come in and search!" Ebby Calverley's younger siblings acted very calmly, she opened the door to let us in, but Ibby Calverley and his wife were not here.Claire Dakin asked where Ibby Calverley's younger sibling was, and she said she didn't know.Claire Dakin asked her again why Sophia's car was parked here instead of her own, and the police knew she had a Nissan Pathfinder.She said the car was in the shop, we immediately sent someone to her shop, and it started to appear that her car was not in the shop, indicating that she was lying.At this point, we suspect Ibby Calverley has escaped in her Nissan Pathfinder. We've been looking everywhere for them and we haven't been able to find them, we've notified various law enforcement agencies for their cooperation, we've set up checkpoints on interstates and so forth, and we're hoping to find them.Over the next week, the FBI tracked Ebby Calverley, his wife, and two daughters to no avail.Nine days after a bank robbery suspect escaped from prison, a Las Vegas police helicopter spotted a Nissan Pathfinder in the desert. Next to the Nissan Pathfinder, a family of four was near the car. "Is it the command center? The target is found here, the location is..." The personnel on the helicopter reported to the dispatch command center.They have been hovering over the Nissan Pathfinder.But, to their surprise, when the "Calverley couple" saw the helicopter, they did not choose to run away.I got to the scene with FBI agents and Las Vegas police. "See clearly? Don't fire yet!" Although the Calverleys were guilty, their daughter was innocent.We must keep his daughter safe.We are now on a ridge above the suspect's family, separated from them by a valley.Here, we can see someone a mile away, but too far away to see clearly and identify them.If law enforcement officers continue to approach, they must pass through an open area that is unobstructed and unobstructed.We must keep a distance from these people, the suspect's marksmanship is extremely accurate.At this time, Claire Dakin volunteered and offered to drive him down to see what happened. This really required a bit of courage, because there were only a few snipers covering him, and I remember that the snipers were all deployed more than 300 meters away.Claire Dakin drove to the neighborhood, and now she could finally see the faces of those people clearly.That man wasn't Ibby Calverley, he wasn't the man I was looking for at all.The arrest operation was frustrated again.At the same time, I also realized that it is impossible for the law enforcement agencies to engage in such a large-scale arrest operation. The vehicles of the secret service team, together with the vehicles of the evidence collection team and the police patrol car, used a total of more than 100 vehicles at that time.At this time, I realized that it is impossible for us to mobilize our troops as soon as we have clues about the fugitives, otherwise our people will die of exhaustion before we catch the fugitives.And our actions have been exposed by the media, which is very useful for suspects.Based on the information he got from the TV, he could calmly face our pursuit and even formulate an escape plan.Sometimes we not only have to play mind games with suspects, but also fight those media.So I decided to reach an agreement with the media, because we are too passive.And we decided to take a break, sort out the information in hand, and then act in groups. The next night, law enforcement continued at full force to track down the dangerous bank robber fugitive.We had about 40 people, including FBI agents, local police officers, sheriffs, officers from the Henderson Police Department, and people from the detention center.We broke up in small groups and split up, and anyone connected to Ibby Calverley was questioned, their homes searched, and every car the fugitive might have used. The district administrator informed us that they had found the fugitive.They had just taken down what they thought was Ibby Calverley when we got there.I knew right away that it wasn't Ibby Calverley.It turned out that this person was the brother of the fugitive.His younger brother looked very much like him, though slightly shorter in stature.就在我们重新确认他身份的时候，我们发现他的驾照非常新，就在前一天刚刚拿到。我们就问他：“你的旧驾照呢？” 伊比·卡尔弗利的弟弟说他的驾照弄丢了，我们哪里肯信，我们怀疑他把驾照给逃犯用了。在他的车里，我们找到了伊比·卡尔弗利写的一张纸条，要他弟弟给他送些钱去。一个曾经手握上百万美元的人现在却要靠借债狼狈度日。 我们决定以资助和煽动逃犯的罪名逮捕伊比·卡尔弗利的弟弟。就这样，逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利的弟弟锒铛入狱了。我们还逮捕了伊比·卡尔弗利的弟妹，罪名是提供虚假证词——说她的尼桑寻路者在店里。伊比·卡尔弗利的两个亲人相继被关押了起来，这正是我们的用心良苦之处，我们要以此诱鱼上钩。 接着，我们通过媒体告诉伊比他的弟弟和弟妹都因为他的关系被捕了，想通过这样的方式对他施加压力。但是效果不大，他好像并不知道自己的弟弟和弟妹被捕的消息。这一点让我们感觉非常奇怪，难道这个家伙隐藏在一处极为隐蔽的地方，因而没有看过电视？我们在不停猜测，但是我们还是无法找到他的行踪。 拉斯维加斯，一名银行抢劫犯在妻子的帮助下越狱逃跑了。这名异常危险的罪犯已经在逃17天了，我们决心让他无处遁形。我们当晚要询问的人之一是逃犯的好友，在当地一家俱乐部当保镖。凡是认识伊比·卡尔弗利的人，不是喜欢他，就是非常怕他。持任何态度的人都没有给我们提供有价值的线索，他的这位朋友也是如此。他什么都不想说，但到最后，他告诉我们，伊比·卡尔弗利在逃跑的时候给他打过电话。在电话里，伊比·卡尔弗利说：“我出来了，我出来了。”这个人听到电话那边还传来了警笛声。说明当时警察离他相当近，但是却没有发现他。 我对这个人说：“你是我们知道的最后一个与伊比·卡尔弗利通过电话的人，他还会再跟你联络的。他来电话的时候，我希望你告诉他，我们已经逮捕了他弟弟，帮助他的人都会为此付出代价。”我们想通过这种方式对伊比·卡尔弗利施加压力，让他意识到，不管他在什么地方，他是逃不掉的，我们这么做是想让他自己乖乖投降。 第二天早上，那个人就给我打来电话，告诉我伊比·卡尔弗利又给他来电话了，他告诉伊比·卡尔弗利，警方已经抓了他的弟弟和弟妹。我问他伊比·卡尔弗利有什么反应，他说他快气疯了。 罪犯越狱17天后，我们得知，逃犯可能已经回到了拉斯维加斯。我接到拉斯维加斯特勤小组一名警官的电话。有人向他提供情报，说逃犯就藏在拉斯维加斯。我听了很怀疑，逃犯难道真的在拉斯维加斯？为了探明情报的虚实，我让那位警官问问提供情报的人，问他知不知道逃犯女儿的名字，那名线人确实知道。但是他要求能够拿到那笔悬赏金，我们答应了他的要求。在伊比出狱之后，银行方面并没有取消那笔悬赏金，因为他们担心如果伊比不能够入狱的话，那么，会有更多的劫匪来找他们的麻烦。这时候，我们才敢肯定他真的认识我们要捉拿的逃犯。 据这名线人讲，逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利就藏在一家汽车旅馆里。我和特勤小组的两名警官火速赶了过去，我们找到线人所说的那个汽车旅馆，然后我们把照片给经理看，问他有没有见过这个人，经理说他从未见过蒂姆，这个人也没在他的旅馆登记过。我还是决定先租个房间，以便监视这家旅馆。 特勤小组的警官查验了停车场上每辆车的车牌。没有一辆车是被盗车辆，车主也都不是逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利的亲属。线人提供的汽车旅馆的情报看来又是假情报了。我们没有放弃，我决定开始逐个搜查房间。 后来，我们决定耍个手腕。我们叫来一名保安，让他去逐个房间敲门，通知每一位房客，有人投诉噪声太大，请他们注意。我们躲在暗处，趁机可以看清房间里的人。就在这时，一扇门打开了，索菲亚出来与保安交谈。我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛，她就站在那儿，笑容满面，精神比我以前见过的她好多了，一点儿不像已经逃亡了17天的样子。由于怀疑逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利本就躲在房内，我立即请求上级予以增援。罪犯抓捕小组和拉斯维加斯特勤小组迅速赶来了。 特勤小组立刻采取了措施，其他探员和地区执政官也赶来了，大批巡警也都来了。我们开始着手撤出旅馆内的其他人员。把他们都撤离出去，只留下逃犯可能藏身的房间。接着，我们采取了抓捕逃犯时常用的手段——谈判专家通过电话和罪犯交涉，抓捕小组则开始向逃犯藏身的房间喊话。 “我想和伊比·卡尔弗利本人谈谈！”谈判专家克莱门廷·卡维尔负责这次谈判任务。 他们对房间里的人喊：“听着，我们知道你在里边。你被包围了。你跑不掉了，放下武器出来吧。听着，我们只想用和平的方式来结束这一切！” 我在等着伊比·卡尔弗利出来，我当时还在想，如果我们抓住他，我是该把他送回他逃出来的那个监狱呢，还是关到别的地方？我觉得他会自己出来的，可他没有。 就在这个时候，我们听见了几声枪声。“发生了什么事情？”我拿起对讲机询问道。 “伊比想要逃跑！他刚才打开了窗户，我们想等他跳下来在抓捕他，但是他发现了我们！”一名守在外边的探员喊道，“他朝我们开了枪！” “现在外边的情况如何？” “一切正常，他回到了屋子，窗户已经被关闭了，我们没有人员伤亡！”那名探员说道。看到出来，伊比并不想就这么束手就擒，但是好在我们防守比较严密，才没有让他再次逃走。 “克雷格·丹尼尔探员，他想跟你谈谈！”此时屋内的电话铃突然响了起来，一直守在电话旁边的克莱门廷·卡维尔接完电话之后，突然递给我，我有些惊讶，但是我还是接过了电话：“你好，伊比·卡尔弗利！很高兴听见你的声音。” “谢谢你，我非常好，克雷格·丹尼尔探员这些日子你们很辛苦吧！”从他的声音中我并没有听出他有任何沮丧，仿佛刚才他的出逃并没有失败一样。 我一听就知道这个人确实是伊比·卡尔弗利。因为我曾经抓过他，并了解他的声音：“谢谢你的关心，我们确实跑了不少地方，但是我还是找到了你！”现在我的任务就是不停地让他说话，因为只要他不撂电话，他的子弹就打不着人。刚开始跟伊比·卡尔弗利通话的时候，我有点儿可怜他，我对他说，你20多天来不停地逃亡，一定非常辛苦。 “我听说你们抓了我的弟弟和弟妹，你们准备把他们怎么样？”伊比开口问道。 “他们犯了罪，我们准备起诉他们！” “能放过他们吗？上帝，是我连累他们！”从声音听起来伊比非常后悔，“你把我送到了监狱，还要把他们送到监狱，你是一个撒旦！” “如果你选择投降的话，我们还可以商量！”我敷衍地说道，“我不是撒旦，我只是一个执法者！” “你在欺骗我，你认为我会相信你的话吗？”伊比非常聪明，很快就听出来我话中的意思，他的声音变得非常激动。 “他们触犯了法律，必须得到法律的制裁，出来吧。我相信你现在已经觉悟了，看看你身边的妻子和女儿，你觉得对得起他们吗？”我试图用亲情来劝说他。但是我很快明白这是一个错误的决定，因为他的妻子和女儿能够为他亡命天涯，就看得出他们一家的关系。 “也许吧，我们过得非常快乐，这些天我们就跟旅游一样！”伊比很得意地说道。 “是吗？你们去过什么地方？”我随口问道。 “是啊，我带孩子去了圣迭戈。你去过吗？”伊比·卡尔弗利告诉我。 “孩子们现在怎么样？”我很担心他们会出现什么意外，我想告诉他们孩子是无罪的，他应该让他们出来，或者他应该自己主动走出来。圣迭戈离墨西哥只有10分钟的车程，但是他没有选择出境，而是回到了拉斯维加斯。我不明白伊比为什么没有逃往墨西哥，不过，我更担心逃犯的孩子还和逃犯在一起。 “我们谈谈好吗，我们还是心平气和地谈一谈。”我尽量稳定住他的情绪道。可是，我最担心的事情还是发生了，我听到电话另一端传来两个小姑娘的笑声。 “好啊！”伊比·卡尔弗利显得并不着急，他似乎胜券在握，我们担心他在背地里做了什么手脚。我压低了声音告诉身边的特勤小组，里边有两个小女孩，要求他们务必要小心。 特勤小组已经在那个房间外面随时待命。一旦逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利变得狂暴起来，开始伤害房间里的人，把索菲亚和他们的两个女儿当做人质，我们就展开救援行动。 “你不会就这么让我们走。”他的声音变得非常冷酷。 我告诉他：“你知道我不能那么做。” “我不会回监狱的。我不会回监狱的。听着，我不想让我的孩子到监狱看我！”伊比·卡尔弗利的情绪显得有些失控，他大声地喊道。伊比·卡尔弗利说他死也不回监狱去。他说他不会回去的。他自己也知道，射伤那名运钞车警卫之后，他已经没有了退路。我现在反而担心逃犯会畏罪自杀。 “嘿，伊比，还是投降吧，伙计！”我这样告诉他。执法人员面对着一个危险的情况，持枪逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利很有可能把他的妻子和两个孩子当做人质，跟警方顽抗到底。 “听着，我不会回去的。就这样了，我不会回监狱的。我不会回去！”伊比·卡尔弗利的情绪已经变得有些失控。房间里还有他的妻子和两个女儿。 “一个人怎么能不为自己做过的事情负责呢？好了，快出来吧！”我试图劝这名绝望的男子投降。尽管现场有谈判专家，但除了我之外，伊比·卡尔弗利谁都不理，因为几个月前就是我将他送进监狱的。我知道他现在已经完全失控了，我们必须保证其他人的安全，我请求逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利和他的妻子，先把两个孩子放出来。 我一会儿跟索菲亚交涉，一会儿又跟伊比·卡尔弗利谈条件。跟索菲亚谈感觉有点儿效果，不过只要我们稍作停顿，她就会和她丈夫交换意见，然后一切又会回到起点，我们不得不从头再来。伊比·卡尔弗利对索菲亚的影响很大，毕竟他是索菲亚的丈夫。索菲亚担心如果她和孩子出来，伊比·卡尔弗利很可能会自杀，她当然不希望看到这样的结果。我们休息了一下，然后我接着跟他们通话。交涉过程非常艰难，刚刚取得了一点儿效果，一会儿又会倒退回去。很长时间没有多大进展。我们最希望他们能够让两个孩子出来，但是很遗憾，他们并不打算一家人分开。 “嘿，伊比·卡尔弗利，还是出来吧，伙计！”我再次试图劝说道。 “克雷格，打自己脑袋什么位置最好，嗯？”他问我，随即又说，“我可以对着太阳穴开枪！” “伊比，为什么要这么做呢？你只是犯了抢劫罪，就算上了法庭，最多也只是面临监禁，或许时间长些，但你实在没必要这么做！”这时候，我只能这么劝解他。要知道，就算是抢劫罪，以他所做的一切，也足够他坐上十几二十年的牢了。 “不！我知道，我已经完了！我的家庭、我，还有我的孩子，我们都完了！”伊比·卡尔弗利显得非常激动，我听到他用枪不停地敲打着自己的脑袋，甚至在那边狂喊道：“就是因为你，才让我们的家成这样，我一定不会放过你的！” “伊比，有很多事情我们都可以商量，还不至于到非要自杀的地步。”我大声地叫喊着，“如果你真的死了，你的孩子会怎么样？你难道一点都不为她们考虑吗？孩子们现在在哪里？”我真怕他会一时冲动做出什么蠢事来。 “你说的对，我应该为他们考虑一下！”过了一会儿，伊比·卡尔弗利说他把孩子们放在浴缸里保护她们，然后停顿了几秒钟后，他说她们很安全。在场执法人员的心都悬了起来。逃犯限制两个孩子自由的举动很可能就是实施自杀的前奏。特勤小组准备炸开房门，以防索菲亚和两个孩子发生不测。 我们安排特勤小组在门上安放了炸药，在必要的时候，他们可以迅速破门而入，进去救人。经过四个小时的谈判，我们放弃了，因为我们听见了里边的枪声，我命令特勤小组冲了进去，他们一冲进去，就立刻冲进卫生间去救两个孩子。时间非常宝贵，每一分每一秒都和她们的生命息息相关。 我们的人冲了进去，刚好看到伊比·卡尔弗利倒在自己射出的子弹下。很不幸，里边的人都死了，我们发现索菲亚已经命丧黄泉。两个孩子也都头部中枪，已经奄奄一息。急救人员飞跑过去，想挽救孩子们的性命。尽管进行了紧急抢救，两个孩子还是死了。 我心里非常难过，我的同事们都尽力了，特勤小组的警官们也都已经尽了全力，但还是没有留住两个孩子的性命。我们的任务本来就是挽救生命的，但这一次，我们没能做到。so terrible.谁都没想到，结果会这么糟糕。尸检结果表明，杀死这一家四口的子弹，都是从逃犯伊比·卡尔弗利手中的枪里射出的。 几个月后，在拉斯维加斯联邦法庭上，伊斯雷尔·帕拉特和他的女友承认窝藏被盗赃款，由于认罪态度较好，他们只被判处有期徒刑一年。伊比·卡尔弗利的弟妹则因作伪证，干扰警方调查被判处一年徒刑。伊索尔德·杰戴音承认自己参与银行抢劫案，被判处24年监禁。直到今天，提起伊比·卡尔弗利一手酿成的惨案，我的心情就无法平静。他知道自己要对他所做的一切负责。当初选择回到拉斯维加斯，他就是回来受死的，只是我们当时不知道罢了。他根本不会从房间里出来投降，他也不会让任何人出来的。抢劫银行，射伤警卫，越狱逃跑，罪犯伊比·卡尔弗利自知难逃法网，不惜毁掉自己一家四口。拉斯维加斯的执法人员永远不会忘记两个无辜孩子的死。
