On April 6th, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan, police located a male in a vehicle suspected of murdering three people. One of them being a 9-year-old girl whose bodies were found in a burning vehicle on Detroit's west side. When a traffic stop was initiated, the suspect immediately took off, leading police on a high-speed pursuit on the busy streets of Detroit. Sub 75 has a opportunity for Schaffer now. He's taking it 75. I'm going to try and get this guy as soon as I can. We're coming up to Fort and Schaefer intersection now. 50 mph. >> Almost crashed. Wrong way on for. Wrong way on for west on four. Left on for slamming on the brakes. Couldn't make it. He's on a flat. He's on a flat. Hitting the turn around to get back on for. Uh going the wrong way and the other direction heading back towards Schaefer. >> Clear. Lost it. Crashed in the boulevard. Get him. Get him. Get him. >> He's right here. Behind the back. Behind the back. You will get tased if you don't. I got him. I got him. Not that I know of. He bailed out the driver's seat. >> I'll take him over to my car. >> Okay. out there. >> This suspect, Edward Reading, was charged with carrying concealed weapons, four counts of felony firearm possession, firearms possession by a prohibited person, assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer, and fourthderee fleeing a police officer in a vehicle. Reports indicate the murder victims were the mother, daughter, and sister of Reading's ex-girlfriend. Reading was released from prison on parole just 10 months before the murders for carjacking, armed robbery, and felony firearm possession. Due to the case still being investigated by the ATF, Reading has not yet been sentenced for his alleged connection to the murders or the high-speed pursuit. While police were able to quickly apprehend Reading, this next case shows police having difficulty stopping a suspect in yet another high-speed pursuit in New Mexico when a pit maneuver is executed, but the suspect is still able to get away and continue fleeing at increasingly high speeds.

Face that car. >> An officer now speaks with the passenger that was also in the suspect's vehicle. >> Hi, what's up? My name is Ian. So, right now you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand what I just read to you? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, like I said, my name is Ian. What's your name? >> Natalyia. >> Natalyia, what's going on today? >> I just needed a ride. I was walking on Central. I work in town. I live in Las. >> Getting a ride to Lasus. Okay. Walk me through what happened today. >> Why are we How did we get from walking on Central to where we are now? >> The cops are chasing her in spikes. I just wanted to get out of the car. >> Who is that guy? >> I don't know. >> You don't know how to ride on Central. >> What if he tells me otherwise? >> Go ask him. >> How did he pick you up? I was walking on Central. >> Where at? >> Central. >> What? What? Cross street. Central goes from Tramway all the way to California. >> I'm from here, too. But that's all you're going to get. >> Okay. Why'd you get out of the car? >> Because I wasn't going to stay in the car. >> How How long were you in the car from the time? >> Accident over there, >> huh? >> Is there an accident over there? >> An accident? >> Yeah. >> What do you mean? >> A car accident? >> Not that I'm aware of. Okay. Well, I just didn't want to be in the car in case what happened. So, that's >> cuz of his driving. >> Well, there's no tires anymore, is there? >> No, there's not. It's definitely scary. So, you got out cuz you were worried about his driving behavior. >> I was just worried about him crashing and me being in the car. >> Did you ever ask him to stop? Why? Why not? That doesn't make any sense. You don't know this guy. He's driving like that. You said the cops are chasing you and then you said the cops spiked the car. >> Yeah. Didn't you ask? I >> I mean, a reasonable person seems to say like, "Hey, let me out of this car. I don't know you. I want to get out." Why didn't you say that? >> Well, they're not going to stop the car if they're getting chased and they don't want to stop. >> Close mouths don't get fed. Why don't you at least ask? >> Are we over this? You're going to go book me at MDC or >> I don't know yet. I'm talking to you to see what's going on. >> I already know how this goes. >> Do you have warrants? >> No. >> Okay. >> He just looked me up. Why don't you ask him if I have warrants? Come on now. >> Well, I'm talking to you. I don't care about the other deputies right now. I'm asking a question. in his car. >> Okay. >> Oh my god. >> For someone that was in a car that doesn't seem to care about what's going on after what what just happened, it's very odd to me. And I think that you're being dishonest. >> Oh, it doesn't really matter either way. >> Did you get out and run? >> I attempted to. My leg wasn't working. >> Which leg is it? >> This one right here. >> The right one. >> Is it broken or you just >> I don't know. >> Did you end up tumbling or what? Did you get out while the car was moving? >> Okay. Do you need an ambulance? >> You want to go to the hospital? >> I don't know if it's broken or not. >> Well, I know. That's why I'm asking if you want an ambulance or to go to the hospital just in case. >> Probably. >> You're jumping out of a moving vehicle, it sounds like. Is that what I didn't see you jump out, so that's just what I'm gathering based on talking to you. >> Okay. >> Both my ankles feel. >> Yeah. How fast do you think you're going? >> I don't know. All right. Give me a sec. Okay. Watch yourself. Uh, you have her 49. >> Yeah. >> Dude, were you the one that apprehended her? >> And then I kind of showed up to see if we need help and kind of just handed her off. >> Could you tell if uh she was like actively running, trying to get away? >> They already had her seat on the >> All right. I mean, she's kind of being shady, but at the same time, hey, for the female, did she resist at all or did it seem like she was just trying to get away from the situation? >> We told her to stop and then she took off trying to go into an alleyway. >> Tour. still resisting. >> Shoot. She's going to go. >> This incident began due to no license plate being displayed on the suspect's vehicle. The suspect was charged with aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, resisting, obstructing, reckless driving, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, improper license plate display, and a felony warrant. His warrant was likely due to his previous criminal offenses involving shooting at or from a motor vehicle, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, a felonious probation violation, reckless driving, and tampering with evidence. The passenger that was in the vehicle was medically cleared and charged with resisting obstructing. They are both innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Who actually owns a city street, the law, or the criminal who thinks he's beyond the law? And there's a myth that police own the pace in a chase. We don't, though. The suspect decides how reckless this gets. All we do is apply pressure in a way that forces a bad decision to crash into a better one. That's not a game. It's a gamble where you stack the odds with every tactical move. And the public might imagine a straight choice. Stop the pursuit and save lives. But on the street, it's a lot messier. And stopping the pursuit does not make the danger disappear. Just moves it somewhere where you're not watching. It's like fixing one leak while the water pours in from somewhere else. And these pursuits only expose the limit to the badge. You can train, you can prepare, you can run the playbook perfectly and still fail to stop someone whose only plan is disaster. And that knowledge sits in the back of a cop's mind every time they hit the siren. And Detroit chases must be like a knife fight in a phone booth. You have tight grids, endless intersections, and bystanders just a few feet from disaster. But New Mexico flips the equation. Out there, the threat isn't proximity, it's velocity. Long open stretches of highway become runways for desperation, where a suspect can rebuild speed no matter how many times you slow them down. And that laugh at the end tells you everything you need to know. It's not fear, it's familiarity. This isn't adrenaline. It's addiction. An addiction to risk, to control, it's proving, if only to themselves, that they can spit in the face of authority and walk away. But every pursuit has a last chapter. And if the law doesn't write it, the physics of the road eventually
