00:00 Most people, if they saw me on the street,
00:04 they'd be like, "Oh, she's just a normal person."
00:06 But there's always the anxiety,
00:09 "What if they realize who I am
00:12 and what I did with the bling ring?"
00:15 These kids robbed a bunch of celebrities
00:21 that they wanted to emulate.
00:23 They were almost like these young stars,
00:25 except for one of them.
00:27 Rachel Lee kept a much lower profile.
00:30 I didn't like my world.
00:34 Going into a celebrity home and trying on their stuff,
00:40 I was able to live in their world.
00:43 Me and Nick, we didn't see any of our other friends as brave as us.
00:48 I was like, "I want to be a badass."
00:55 We kept wanting to go to the next level.
00:57 I don't think that there was any other case before them
01:03 that used social media.
01:05 They studied when these young celebrities would be home.
01:08 They would be wearing items that were stolen
01:12 and posting it on social media.
01:14 People were obsessed.
01:16 The courthouse was swarmed.
01:19 Sofia Coppola turns it into a feature film.
01:23 It's like the vortex of fame.
01:25 Rachel never gave an interview.
01:28 Everyone else has been like, "She was the mastermind.
01:30 She was the ringleader."
01:31 I don't know what happened to Rachel Lee.
01:33 Hello, everybody.
