- I mean, this happened
in a public building
where people are going to a restaurant.
Mount Vernon is a bustling neighborhood.
There are people all over the place
and this guy just ends up
dropping out of the sky
and ending up in a conference room
and no one knows anything?
(solemn music)
- You have all those
windows in the building
and no one came forward and said,
"Oh, I saw, I heard,
I looked down, I was like, what is that?"
Nothing.
I mean, it seemed to happen
without anyone seeing anything.
- There's no way my brother just walks
into The Belvedere Hotel,
walks through the lobby
and you get to the top of that building.
I tried to do it.
I tried to walk up there.
I tried to walk through that lobby.
It's not somethin' that
just anyone casually
can do walkin' off the street.
- You have to go through like,
these back stairwells that lead up
that in some cases are locked
or are not open to the public
and then you go sort of
navigate this labyrinth.
- To then get out through a
door that's usually locked
to get to this roof area.
So, in order to get there,
you would have to know how to get there.
- [Detective Baier] At the
beginning of the investigation,
I tried to determine whether Mr. Rivera
was in the hotel at all.
So, I checked the cameras in the hotel,
and there was no footage of him anywhere.
(pensive music)
