0:00New core documents are shedding light on a wild family plot at McDill Air Force Base. 20-year-old Alan Jung allegedly planted a homemade explosive device inside Pepsi bottles at the visitor center on March 10th. It didn't detonate then, but Base folks found it on March 16th after a 911 tip. His 27-year-old sister, Anne-Marie Jung, jumped in quick, buying tickets the next day, March 11th, for both to bolt to China, where... There's no extra-dition deal with the U.S. She reportedly drove him and her black Mercedes to grab bomb-making supplies and drop it off. That same car turned of key evidence, with residue from explosives inside when feds recovered it from CarMax, where she sold it for $5,000. Dollars right after researching if it could be tracked. Her phone mawks show her hitting up chat GPT for tips on getting her brother a full-china visa from Hong Kong and college transfers there. Anne-Marie flew back alone on March 17th and got arrested, while Alan's still hiding out in China.

1:02Both face heavy charges, Aileen for trying to wreck government property with an explosion and making an illegal device facing 5 to 40 years if... convicted. She's hit with evidence tampering and accessory counts up to 30 years max. Prosecutors are fighting hard to keep her detained, calling her a huge flight risk with her China travel papers good till April 2027. Her lawyer pushes back, pointing to her tamper properties, clean record and voluntary return. Next hearing's April 14th, trial kicks off May 4th and feds are still digging deep.
