324 00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:30,142 She didn't have                  a bank account.                  325 00:13:30,176 --> 00:13:31,677 She didn't trust banks,          326 00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:34,980

   ♪                             331 00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:47,126    JEFFREY: John didn't like        the financial arrangements    332 00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:49,061    mostly because it                left him living in            333 00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:51,197   a very cheap                      apartment.                    334 00:13:53,632 --> 00:13:55,334    He didn't have the

  .32 caliber pistol.            343 00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:21,861 So, we inquired with him          about firearms                  344 00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:24,763    that he may own or

441 00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:38,150  But, is John involved              somehow in that homicide,     442 00:18:38,183 --> 00:18:39,952 whether he paid someone,         443 00:18:39,985 --> 00:18:42,921   talked someone into             doing it or whatever?           444 00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,957   So we look closer at              John's whereabouts            445 00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:46,959  at the time of                   the homicide.                   446 00:18:46,992 --> 00:18:49,061    In our interview                with John Schmeyer,            447 00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:51,964    he said himself and Sarah        left Panera Bread             448 00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:55,000  and went to the local             Hooters restaurant             449 00:18:55,033 --> 00:18:57,669 where they had                    a meeting of the OSS,           450 00:18:57,703 --> 00:19:00,472   the Orange                     Shorts Society.                  451 00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:03,375 It's a group of                     professional businessmen.     452 00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:04,943    They get together              once a week,                    453 00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:06,612   and they talk money,              they talk stocks,             454 00:19:06,645 --> 00:19:10,449  but they also get to            look at the waitresses.          455 00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:13,252 We pull the surveillance           video from Hooters,            456 00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:15,420  and were able                   to confirm that                  457 00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:17,556  John was there                    with Sarah.                    458 00:19:17,589 --> 00:19:20,425 And also, the cell phone         records confirm                  459 00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,395 John and Sarah's                   whereabouts.                   460 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:26,498 So as far as where he's          at on the suspect scale,         461 00:19:26,532 --> 00:19:30,102    he's falling lower              and lower on that...           462 00:19:30,135 --> 00:19:32,971   which is then causing us to    focus our investigation          463 00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:35,440

 which he felt                     was unusual                    642 00:27:19,337 --> 00:27:21,139 based on their location.         643 00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:24,342   You don't see people            walking down the road.          644 00:27:24,376 --> 00:27:25,810  This neighbor                   described him as                 645 00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:27,445 a white male in                   his thirties.                   646 00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:30,448    Balding,                       medium build.                   647 00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,250 About 20 minutes later,          648 00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:36,254 he saw this same                 man walking away                 649 00:27:36,287 --> 00:27:38,823    from the Schmeyer               residence with what            650 00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:42,961 he described as a white           envelope in his hand.           651 00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,996   The second neighbor              noticed the same guy           652 00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:47,098    walking along the              shoulder of the road.           653 00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:48,400    And he also said,             654 00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:50,235  as he looked                       past this person,             655 00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:52,570    there was a grey or silver    van parked about                 656 00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:55,006

you go into the                  663 00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:08,920  little town of                     Jefferson Borough,            664 00:28:08,953 --> 00:28:11,089  where there is a bank,          665 00:28:11,122 --> 00:28:14,059    and that bank has                an outside camera.            666 00:28:14,092 --> 00:28:17,028    We secured search warrants       to obtain the bank footage    667 00:28:17,062 --> 00:28:20,932    for that day to see if we     could find a gray van.           668 00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:23,968   Unfortunately, after           reviewing hours                  669 00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:26,638   and hours of video,               we found numerous             670 00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:29,174  gray vans, so we were            unable to substantiate          671 00:28:29,207 --> 00:28:31,509 what van it was or which            way it was because            672 00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:33,178    we don't even know whether      the van made a left            673 00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:36,214    or made a right at              that T intersection.           674 00:28:36,247 --> 00:28:38,983    So we were kind of            at a standstill.                 675 00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:41,319    But in our                     neighbourhood canvass,          676 00:28:41,352 --> 00:28:42,987  we learned that Monica          677 00:28:43,021 --> 00:28:45,323

 maybe fix something,              or cut her grass, you know,    680 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,897   all those different            things that she needed.          681 00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:55,533

   Makes you                     think there was                  686 00:29:04,008 --> 00:29:06,277  some sort of                      relationship there.            687 00:29:06,311 --> 00:29:08,680  DOUGLAS: He is someone          that knows her,                  688 00:29:08,713 --> 00:29:10,482  may have had a                     conflict with her,            689 00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:12,250

883 00:37:05,323 --> 00:37:08,526    search warrant for Timothy      Jacoby's residence.            884 00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,629    DOUGLAS: Investigators are     turning this place inside out.  885 00:37:11,662 --> 00:37:16,634    We had a dog there looking       for firearms and bullets.     886 00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:20,605    We did not locate the .32       caliber we were looking for.   887 00:37:20,638 --> 00:37:23,341   However, one of our               investigators was able to     888 00:37:23,374 --> 00:37:26,444   locate a .32 caliber              barrel in a drawer            889 00:37:26,477 --> 00:37:29,480  in a desk in his shed.          890 00:37:29,513 --> 00:37:32,917  That barrel had been            damaged, intentionally.          891 00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:35,953  Somebody had tried to            drill out the rifling,          892 00:37:35,987 --> 00:37:37,021  the inside of                     the barrel,                    893 00:37:37,054 --> 00:37:39,023

   the interior of the barrel    896 00:37:43,728 --> 00:37:47,298 in order to contaminate           the rifling.                    897 00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:49,700   This would be the equivalent   of a suspect burning off         898 00:37:49,734 --> 00:37:52,069  their fingerprints or            scarring themselves to try to   899 00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,006    avoid their prints being

  in destroying the evidence?    902 00:38:00,378 --> 00:38:01,512    CHRISTIAN: When we            see a barrel that's been         903 00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:03,080  tampered with,                     we know someone is            904 00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:05,549 trying to hide something            that they've done.            905 00:38:05,583 --> 00:38:08,352  They're trying to make

   during our search             908 00:38:13,758 --> 00:38:16,527   we did locate a .40 caliber       handgun that was              909 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,396    in his shed that

914 00:38:27,905 --> 00:38:29,640   a person not                     to possess,                    915 00:38:29,674 --> 00:38:31,909    he was taken into custody     for that possession of           916 00:38:31,942 --> 00:38:35,479 that firearm, as well as           a parole violation.            917 00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,881   RESHMI: With                      Jacoby in custody,
