TAYLOR, THANK YOU. BREAKING NOW, THE MAN FOUND DRIVING A MISSING LIFT DRIVER’S CAR FROM PALM BEACH GARDEN IS BEING HELD ON A $2 MILLION BOND IN NORTH CAROLINA. MATTHEW FLORES WAS ARRESTED AFTER A HIGH SPEED CHASE LAST NIGHT. FLORES HAS APPEARED BEFORE A JUDGE THIS MORNING. HE IS WANTED ON SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING A MURDER NEAR TAMPA LAST MONTH. TONIGHT, IT’S STILL UNCLEAR WHERE OUR GARY LEVINE COULD BE. HIS FAMILY REPORTED HIM MISSING TUESDAY. LEVINE PICKED UP HIS LAST FARE IN DELRAY BEACH WITH A SCHEDULED DROP OFF IN OKEECHOBEE ON MONDAY. AND THAT’S WHERE HIS CELL PHONE LAST PINGED BEFORE GOING DARK. TONIGHT, WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE ON ALL ANGLES OF THIS INVESTIGATION. SOOJI NAM IS LOOKING INTO HOW FAMILIES CAN GET VITAL INFORMATION FROM COMPANIES LIKE LYFT. TERRI PARKER EXAMINES THE CHARGES SURROUNDING MATTHEW FLORES AND HIS CONNECTION TO THE CASE. WE BEGIN WITH ANGELA ROZIER, WHO IS LIVE IN OKEECHOBEE, WHERE THE SEARCH FOR GARY LEVINE IS INTENSIFYING. ANGELA. WELL, TIFFANY AND FELICIA, POLICE HERE IN OKEECHOBEE TELL US THAT THIS TIME THEY ARE FOLLOWING UP ON A VEHICLE PING. NOW, THEY DON’T WANT TO GIVE US THE EXACT LOCATION, BUT NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT VHICLE PING IS NEAR THE SHOPPING CENTER. WHAT IT WAS MY DAD WHAT WAS MY DAD’S DEAD. OKAY. WHAT IF IT WAS ME? I THINK IN THIS ROOM, PEOPLE WE TALKED TO AT THIS SHOPPING CENTER IN OKEECHOBEE ARE HOPING MISSING. LIFT DRIVER GARY LEVIN IS FOUND AND HE IS SAFE. WE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES WHO WORK HERE. MANY DIDN’T WANT TO TALK BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION. BUT THEY DID TELL US POLICE HAVE BEEN HERE ASKING QUESTIONS AND LOOKING AT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, THE VEHICLE PINGING IN OUR CITY AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE FOLLOWING UP. WE’RE TRYING TO COLLECT VIDEO OR JUST TRY TO ADD PIECES TO THE PUZZLE AT THIS POINT. WE TALKED TO ONE WOMAN WHO NOT ONLY FEELS FOR THE DRIVER’S FAMILY, BUT WHEN SHE HEARD THE CALL WAS FOUND IN NORTH CAROLINA AND HE WAS NOT IN IT. SHE COULDN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT HER OWN FAMILY. I REALLY DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. I’VE JUST BEEN PRAYING THAT I’LL BE FOUND SAFE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES FOR UBER AND LYFT, SO YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. DETECTIVE, SHARE THIS IMAGE OF THE DRIVER. THEY SAY THEY OBTAINED IT DURING THEIR INVESTIGATION. THEY’RE HOPING SOMEONE WILL RECOGNIZE THE MAN IN THE PHOTO AND ALERT POLICE. WE ALSO ASKED IF THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE AREA, AS OF OUR INFORMATION RIGHT NOW THAT WE’RE GETTING, IT’S NOT THE LAST TIME THAT IT PING, BUT IT PINGED IN OUR CITY. AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING AS FAR AS THAT. JUST FOLLOWING UP ON THAT. AND INVESTIGATORS SAY, AGAIN, THAT THIS INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. REPORTING LIVE IN OKEECHOBEE, ANGELA ROSIER, WPBF 25 NEWS. ANGELA, THANK YOU. AND, OF COURSE, WE ARE INVESTIGATING ALL ASPECTS OF THIS STORY AS IT DEVELOPS TONIGHT, INCLUDING HOW QUICKLY CRUCIAL INFORMATION CAN BE REQUESTED FROM COMPANIES LIKE LYFT. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER TERRI PARKER CONTINUES OUR TEAM COVERAGE WITH WHAT WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE AND THE CHARGES. FLORES NOW FACES. TERRY, WHEN POLICE CLOSED IN ON MATTHEW FLOORS IN NORTH CAROLINA LAST NIGHT, TWO BIG CASES SUDDENLY COLLIDED. FLORES DRIVING THAT MISSING LYFT DRIVER’S CAR. AND HE WAS ALREADY ON THE RUN ON A SEPARATE FLORIDA MURDER CHARGE. MATTHEW FLORES HAD BEEN A MURDER SUSPECT ON THE RUN SINCE JANUARY 24TH, WHEN WHITE COLLAR FLORIDA SAY HE SHOT JOSE CARLOS MARTINEZ TO DEATH WHILE VISITING A HOUSE IN THAT CITY. AND PART OF THAT INVESTIGATION AND TALKING TO THE OTHER WITNESSES IN THE AREA. IS HOW WE GOT DIRECTED TOWARDS MR. FLORES BEING A SUSPECT IN THE CASE. WE’LL CALL A POLICE CHIEF, JOHN. AND SAYS THEY IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED FLORES, HIS GIRLFRIEND, STEPHANIE. VELL, GORA, WHO THEY SAY WAS ACTIVELY HELPING FLORES EVADE CAPTURE. BOTH BEFORE SHE WENT TO JAIL AND AFTER A BODY WHILE A COLOR POLICE IN THE HARDY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SEARCHED FOR FLORES AND THE MURDER WEAPON. THE CASE TOOK A DRAMATIC TURN. THEN WE GET THE CALL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON FROM PALM BEACH GARDENS THAT SOMEHOW THERE WAS A CONNECTION RELATED BETWEEN OUR INVESTIGATION AND MR. LEVIN OUT OF PALM BEACH GARDENS WHO’D BEEN REPORTED MISSING. AS YOU KNOW, ON THE 30TH, GARY LEVIN’S LAST KNOWN LOCATION WAS OKEECHOBEE, WHERE HE WAS DROPPING OFF A LYFT CUSTOMER. FLORES GREW UP AND LIVES IN ARCADIA, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IS A STRAIGHT SHOT ONE HOUR AWAY FROM OKEECHOBEE, WHERE LEVIN DISAPPEARED. BUT AS FAR AS WHERE THAT INTERACTION CAME FROM, WHEN MR. FLORES CAME INTO POSSESSION OF MR. LEVIN’S VEHICLE FROM OUR STANDPOINT, IS UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT. FLORA HAS HAS A LENGTHY CRIMINAL HISTORY AND WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON IN 2016 FOR NUMEROUS CRIMES, INCLUDING GRAND THEFT, AUTO AND POSSESSION OF A GUN BY A CONVICTED FELON. HE WAS RELEASED IN 2017. CHIEF REASONS AS HE WAS CURRENTLY ON PROBATION FROM A DRUG CHARGE IN NORTH CAROLINA, WHICH IS WHERE HE WAS CAPTURED AFTER CRASHING MR. LEVINSKY KILLER THURSDAY NIGHT. FLORES ALSO HAS SEVERAL RELATIVES IN HENDERSONVILLE, ABOUT 30 MILES FROM WHERE HE WAS CAUGHT WITH THE HELP OF MULTIPLE AGENCIES. BUT THAT BREAK THAT WE GOT YESTERDAY, MID-AFTERNOON, LATE AFTERNOON, IS THE WHAT’S ACTUALLY BROUGHT HIM BACK INTO CUSTODY. IT’S TRAGIC THAT WE’RE ALREADY INVESTIGATING A HOMICIDE AND EVEN MORE TRAGIC, TRAGIC THAT WE’RE NOW TRYING TO LOOK FOR AND FIND MR. LEVIN. I DID TALK TO A WOMAN I BELIEVE IS FLORES, A SISTER OR AUNT WHO DECLINED TO COMMENT. I ALSO CALLED ALL OF HIS NORTH CAROLINA RELATIVES TO SEE IF THEY THOUGHT HE WAS HEADING UP THERE TO HIDE OUT WITH THEM. BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO REACH ANYONE, CHIEF, AND TELLS ME HIS DETECTIVES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO NORTH CAROLINA TO QUESTION FLORES ABOUT THE JANUARY MURDER. JERRY PARKER, WPBF 25. MS. TERRY, THANK YOU. TONIGHT, WE WILL ASSESS OF REQUESTING INFORMATION FROM COMPANIES LIKE LYFT AND HOW VITAL THOSE DETAILS ARE FOR THE INVESTIGATION. AN HOUR SOOJI NAM JOINS US LIVE FROM PALM BEACH GARDENS POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH MORE ON THIS. FELICIA, THE FAMILY OF GARY LEVIN HAS BEEN DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TO THEIR FATHER’S LIFE. RIDES LIKE THE DROP OFF THE PICKUP SITES AND THE PASSENGERS THAT WERE INVOLVED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A LOT MORE HURDLES LEGALLY THAT ARE INVOLVED BEFORE A COMPANY CAN TURN THAT INFORMATION OVER. STUART KAPLAN EXPLAINS WHY LAUNCH ENFORCEMENT CANNOT JUST CALL UP LYFT AND SAY, HEY, PROVIDE US WITH ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. THERE IS A LEGAL PROCESS THAT IS IN ORDER. FORMER FBI SPECIAL AGENT STUART CAPLAN BREAKS DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REQUEST DATA FROM COMPANIES LIKE LYFT. THE PROSECUTORS HAVE TO ISSUE WHAT’S CALLED A SUBPOENA. THAT LEGAL DOCUMENT THEN COMMANDS LYFT TO TURN OVER THAT INFORMATION. 74 YEAR OLD GARY LEVIN HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE MONDAY AFTERNOON. COMPLETELY DARK AS TO PHONE CALLS TO AND FROM ALL OF HIS LOVED ONES AND COMPLETELY DARK ON THE LYFT SYSTEM. SINCE THEN, FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET DETAILS ABOUT THE RIDES AND WHO CALL THOSE RIDES. HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION DID NOT COME AS FAST AS THEY HAD HOPED. IT CAN BE FRUSTRATINGLY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE BUREAUCRACY OF ALL OF THIS. THESE DATA COMPANIES ARGUABLY THE FAMILY, WOULD BE VERY UPSET BECAUSE THERE IS A DELAY. BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE THE REALITY IS IT PROTECTS YOU. AND I WITH RESPECT TO OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY. ON THURSDAY, A LOVED ONES WERE FINALLY ABLE TO HONE IN ON A LOCATION IN OKEECHOBEE COUNTY THAT LYFT PROVIDED, SHOWING THE DROP OFF SITE FOR LEVIN’S LYFT RIDE. IT’S ONLY AT A TIME OF TRULY NO EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS IS WHERE LIFE AND DEATH IS ACTUALLY WITHIN MINUTES TO HAPPEN. THEY DON’T NEED THE WARRANT OR THEY DON’T NEED THE SUBPOENA. THE UNFORTUNATE SITUATION ABOUT THIS CASE IS IT’S BEING INVESTIGATED AS A MISSING CASE, AS A MISSING PERSON CASE. AND COMING UP AT SIX, WHAT’S NEXT IN THE INVESTIGATION? ACCORDING TO THE FORMER SPECIAL FBI AGENT, AS THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AND THE FAMILY CONTINUES, THEIR SEARCH FOR GARY LEVIN REPORTING LIVE IN PALM BE
