Aisle Seat

Exeter, New Hampshire - The Home Of Conrad Neville

The video started, and the whole family watched it as a channel focused on Travel Meltdowns began to play. The video was professionally done and included footage captured by passenger and police body cameras.

Jack, Conrad and Toni's second grandson was the first to notice that Grandma and Grandpa were "sitting on a plane." Three flight attendants were in the aisle near them, one of whom spoke with Toni.

"Ma'am, please follow directions and return your seat to the upright position so we can take off."

Usually calm and sweet, Toni went into a tirade aimed at the flight attendant.

In the video shot by an adjacent passenger, Toni told the flight attendant to "Go Fuck Herself." 

Toni added, "I paid for this seat and can do whatever I want with it."

Sitting beside Toni in the window seat, Conrad looked at the flight attendant and said nothing.

"Mom, why didn't you do what the flight attendant wanted you to do? Melinda said from the far end of the table. "It's standard whenever you fly to straighten your seat."

The grandchildren giggled, with Jack remarking, "Uh Oh, Grandma dropped the F-Bomb."

Then the incident got worse as Toni started yelling at the flight attendant and throwing nuclear-sized racial epithets at her. The lead flight attendant and one other were black, and Toni directed very harsh words at them and said, "You only have those jobs because you are black." "You are singling me out because I am white."

​In the video, you hear the passengers getting angry, and then the lead Flight Attendant looks toward the cockpit and twirls an upright finger.

In the video shot by the passenger, the flight attendant politely tells Toni, "The Captain has requested that you leave the aircraft so we can proceed to Atlanta. "We are opening the hatch so you can leave; please collect your items from the overhead and walk toward the front of the aircraft."

Toni lets out another stream of racially charged language aimed at the flight attendant.  At this point, the passenger with the camera aims her lens at Conrad, who sits next to his wife, saying nothing.

Toni stays firm in her seat, saying, "I ain't going nowhere."

Sitting at the dining room table, Toni's children are bewildered. These actions are not like their mother. The grandchildren giggle, one remarking, "Go, Grandma."

It gets worse.

The following camera perspectives are from other passengers and responding police officer's body cameras.

Toni fights, kicks, and screams about "Black Fascists" as she is carried down the aisle to the exit door near the cockpit. 

The last thing you hear is the passengers cheering now that they can take off. Conrad is seen leaving the cockpit with Toni's and his carry-on bags.

Sitting at the table in her home, Toni looks at everyone and says, "Grandma had a bad day...there was something wrong with the medication I took." "You all know that isn't me."

She looked at Conrad with fire in her eyes and started to cry.

Toni got up from the table and said, "Please excuse me. I have to wash my face." 

As she rose, her daughter Melinda stood, came around the table, and hugged her mother. "It will be okay, Mom."

When she said that to her mother, she shot her father a look that was a war declaration.

Good morning, Mr. Mendocino, Special Agent Tess Carnes-Verranazzo said. She noted that the suspect looked rested but had what she described as a flat look in his eyes. They were dull, and he seemed a bit gloomy. This was different from how he had been yesterday. 

The room is cold, metallic, and fluorescently lit.

Another special agent chained Mr. Mendocino to the table and made sure that his legs were secure. Later that evening at Tae Kwon Do training, the young agent would tell his friends that he was "face to face with a serial killer today."

​"Dennis, you have repeatedly waived your right to an attorney. Do you wish to request one at this time?"

"Dennis looked up from the table, sniffed once, and then said, "Yes, at this time, I am requesting an attorney."  "I can afford one and know who I will call."

The agents viewing everything via multiple cameras shuffled in their seats as S.A. Carnes-Verranazzo stood and looked down at Mendocino, saying, "Please excuse me for a minute."

She exited the room and said to S.A. Tanaka, "Please start preparing transcripts and compiling notes about everything discussed so far."

Tanaka looked at her and said, "It's already done." "I prepare everything as we go along."

Exeter, New Hampshire - The Home Of Conrad Neville

Neville's street was blocked by police cars on both ends, and anyone who needed to come into the street or leave it was logged in or out by a patrol person.

It was late at night, and the neighborhood was lit by the blue, red, and yellow flashing lights of police cars, ambulances, and a few fire response vehicles.

As people came out of their houses to see what was happening, the police placed yellow crime scene tape all over the Neville property.

The neighbors buzzed with each other, and there was much speculation, but no word about what happened had hit the streets.

Stratham, New Hampshire, Police Chief Ron Strier was sitting at the top of the street, helping to log incoming traffic at the request of the Exeter Police.

The Sunday Night NFL game is on his radio, and Ron is enjoying a soda water for a change.

The only thing he had heard was that this was a "Domestic with gunshots involved." and that the Town Of Exeter was paying his overtime rate.
