TEXAS \u2013 This Saturday, The Evidence Room returns with an all-new, hour-long episode called \u2018The Sniper.\u2019 The episode examines a string of deadly armored truck robberies in 2016, when two armed guards were shot and killed while servicing ATMs. <\/p>\n
The mastermind behind the deadly robberies was Redrick Batiste, who law enforcement considered a serial killer. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you use the term, serial killer?\u201d asked 2 Investigates Robert Arnold.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it was his intention,\u201d said Asst. U.S. Attorney Rick Hanes. \u201cFirst part, commit murder. Second part, grab the money.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this episode, we\u2019ll take you inside the case that ended Batiste and his crew\u2019s crime spree. We speak with investigators who spent months engaged in \u2018high-risk surveillance\u2019 to learn Batiste\u2019s movements and eventual targets. This was a joint operation between the FBI, Houston Police, and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
