What the Surveillance Footage Shows... And What It Doesn’t #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts | Forensic Files

You mentioned it before, I have to bring it up. Just give it to me. What's on the surveillance videos?
Because like they should be able to tell us if his story is like lines up with that, right?
>> One would think because there are surveillance cameras basically all over this building. The lobby's got one, the
warehouse, even the outside. The one place that doesn't have a camera is the office space where according to Dave the
struggle took place. Why? I don't know. We asked Alicia, Nick's wife, and she said she had no
idea. But even she thought it was kind of odd that's the one place that [music] didn't have a camera. But listen, the
cameras that do exist might be able to confirm some things. Officers at the crime scene start
reviewing the tapes like within hours of being called to the scene. And they mostly do corroborate Dave's story. Two
suspects entered the building. One was holding a box of Freon, but they're actually on this footage able to see
that the box was empty. It had [music] some kind of panel cut out of it and they were using it to conceal the gun
when they first came in. And they see that there is some kind of commotion and yelling that can be heard
off camera, presumably in the office. And then Nick is seen running out of the office into the lobby toward the front
door, and that's where he ends up getting shot.

Surveillance cameras covered nearly every part of Gilbert Air. But according to investigators, there was one critical area without coverage: the office space where the initial struggle occurred.

When officers reviewed the footage, they were able to confirm key parts of the timeline. Two suspects entered the building, one carrying what appeared to be a box of Freon. Investigators later noted the box had been altered and used to conceal a weapon.

Audio from the footage captured yelling and a disturbance off camera, believed to be coming from the office. Moments later, Nicholas “Nick” Cordova is seen running into the lobby toward the front door.

What happened next was captured on video.
