Ring denied emergency request for doorbell video in Saratoga Springs double murderby Brian Mullahy Utah (KUTV) — Ring denied an emergency request from Saratoga Springs Police to view doorbell camera video just hours after a mother and son and his mom was rushed in critical condition to the hospital investigator Dallin Cazier said he made the emergency ask of Ring "A representative called me and declined to send any footage due to a perceived lack of exigency," wrote Cazier he said Ring determined circumstances were not urgent enough to release the video taken from the front door of the place of the murders responded late Thursday afternoon on why it denied immediate video access ”Federal law authorizes emergency disclosures if a company believes in good faith that there is danger of death or serious physical injury to any person(such as an active kidnapping),” she said Ring determined this was not the case based on the information provided by the law-enforcement officer.” Neighbor Jason Salisbury pondered if Ring’s initial denial impacted the investigation “I don't know what would constitute an emergency ”Sounds like the very definition of emergency where this video would come into play,” said neighbor Michael Rose The discovery of mother and son was on Friday Ring said it received a warrant for the video and gave it to police on April 7 with Daniels calling that “within a normal response timeline." Investigator Cazier said police had reason to see it sooner "This video may give critical information to identify the suspect in this case," he said He noted homeowners in the community shared their videos with police showed a figure in the morning darkness hours before the discoveries of mother and son What's on the video from the Lyman-Painter door cam of Halfmoon was arrested on Friday by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office following investigation into a traffic stop in Clifton Park The Sheriff’s Office says they conducted a traffic stop around 2:10 a.m on Route 9 for a vehicle failing to maintain its lane Durazno-Escandon is accused of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and at a time when his blood alcohol content was 0.10% He is also accused with failing to drive his vehicle within a single lane operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or greater Durazno-Escandon was released on appearance tickets pending further proceedings in Clifton Park Town Court The station representative that can assist any person with disabilities with issues related to the content of the public file is Brittany Moroukian.

five other fillies and mares to win by 2 1/4 lengths in the Grade 3 $400,000 Modesty Stakes presented by Veritas Prime.  Ridden by Hall of Famer John Velazquez for trainer Cherie DeVaux who called it a "workmanlike" performance the 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Karakontie was making her first start since winning the G1 American Oaks at Santa Anita in California on Dec She covered the 1 1/8 miles on firm turf in 1:45.52 shaving a hundredth of a second off a course record set just three days earlier a South African mare making her second U.S Saffron Moon and Segesta finished third and fourth produced from the More Than Ready mare Summer Sweet was bred by Payson Stud and purchased by Roy and Gretchen Jackson's Lael Stables as a yearling for $240,000 from the consignment of Stone Farm at the Keeneland September Sale She Feels Pretty paid $3.58 as the odds-on favorite. The Lael Stables' colorbearer is a Grade 1 winner at 2 and 3 having won the Natalma Stakes at Woodbine as a juvenile before a close third-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf She Feels Pretty won the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland She Feels Pretty settled into fourth early as Birdie Rose and Segesta battled on the front end through fractions of :22.90 and 1:10.73 through the first six furlongs with She Feels Pretty just to the outside of Takemetothebeach behind the dueling leaders and Gimme a Nother and Saffron Moon behind them.Approaching the far turn quickly consuming the top pair and opening up on the field after a mile in 1:33.83 She cruised to the wire without being threatened completing the final furlong in 11.68 seconds "She got a little aggressive but she switched off we got in the clear and she took me where I needed to be She just really cruises out there and makes my job easy.” "Really proud of her coming off the layoff and did it very workmanlike," Devaux said "This was the start to the year to hopefully cap it off with the Breeders' Cup Hopefully she comes out of this and we can just move forward and march on to that goal." DeVaux who was registering her 18th career graded stakes victory since 2021 said the G1 New York Stakes during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at Saratoga on June 6 would be the next logical step followed by the G1 Diana during the regular Saratoga meet in upstate New York."But first we have to make sure she comes out of this in great order and trains forwardly," DeVaux said The Modesty, first run in 1942, is a relative newcomer to Churchill Downs, which transferred the race from Arlington Park when parent company Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI) opted to end racing at the suburban Chicago track and sell the property to the NFL’s Chicago Bears for a potential football stadium site. The race was inaugurated at Washington Park, and even had a running at Hawthorne, but Arlington was the longtime home of the Modesty, which became the local prep race for the Grade 1 Beverly D. Stakes, part of the Arlington Million day program. The latter stakes is now run alongside the Million at CDI-owned Colonial Downs in Virginia. The Modesty’s distance has changed, too, from as short as six furlongs in the late 1940s and early ‘50s, to as long as 1 3/16 miles, its distance from 1989 until its final running at Arlington in 2021.
