[pensive music]

00:00:03,169 --> 00:00:06,139
- Nothing compares to the
ties of teenage friendship
10
00:00:06,172 --> 00:00:09,509
in the small town
of Slapout, Alabama.
11
00:00:09,542 --> 00:00:13,246
Unbreakable bonds are formed
while riding four-wheelers,
12
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:15,548
taking the truck on
dirt country roads,
13
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:18,785
and bonfires in the
middle of the woods.
14
00:00:18,818 --> 00:00:22,122
- These friends, we
were all close-knit,
15
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:23,690
practically family.
16
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:25,425
- They loved each other so much
17
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:27,160
and they would do
anything for each other.
18
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:28,261
[suspenseful music]
19
00:00:28,294 --> 00:00:31,398
- But when the heart of that
close-knit friend group,
20
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:32,699
Anna Catherine Cardwell,
21
00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:34,567
is found murdered
in her own home
22
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:37,137
the day after Valentine's Day,
23
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:39,406
loyalty turns to suspicion.
24
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:40,807
[suspenseful music]
25
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,542
- It was somebody that she knew,
26
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:45,278
somebody that she
invited into the home.
27
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:47,280
- When we found out
that Anna Catherine
28
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:50,450
had let her killer in, we
immediately started thinking,
29
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:52,585
"Well, who could have it been?"
30
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:54,554
We didn't know who to trust.
31
00:00:54,587 --> 00:00:56,823
- I couldn't imagine
anybody in her circle
32
00:00:56,856 --> 00:01:00,460
being capable of doing
something like that.
33
00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:02,695
That is an absolute betrayal.
34
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,164
[suspenseful music]
35
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:07,434
- Because here in the
Slapout inner circle,
36
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:09,235
whoever's riding shotgun
37
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,439
might just be wielding the gun.
38
00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:15,408
[compelling music]
39
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,523
[mellow music]
40
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,496
- In Slapout, Alabama,
41
00:01:36,529 --> 00:01:39,099
we have one blinking light.
42
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:41,734
In a small town,
everyone knows everyone.
43
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:44,104
[somber music]
[birds chirping]
44
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:46,206
- The most important
things for Anna Catherine
45
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,175
were her family, her friends.
46
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:52,345
When Anna Catherine
graduated from high school,
47
00:01:52,378 --> 00:01:56,649
she wanted to follow her friends
and go to Southern Union.
48
00:01:56,683 --> 00:01:59,519
But when she entered her
second year of college,
49
00:01:59,552 --> 00:02:01,221
she had moved back home.
50
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:03,756
[somber music]
51
00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:09,229
[suspenseful music]
52
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:11,498
That day, I was off from work.
53
00:02:11,531 --> 00:02:13,266
[door squeaking]
54
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:14,400
Anna Catherine was sleeping in.
55
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:16,136
She didn't have
classes that day,
56
00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:20,507
so I stuck my head in her
bedroom just to check on her.
57
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:23,109
And she was still sleeping,
so I shut the door,
58
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:25,678
went about to do my errands.
59
00:02:25,712 --> 00:02:27,514
[suspenseful music]
60
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,649
I was gone maybe an hour.
61
00:02:29,682 --> 00:02:33,386
[suspenseful music]
62
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:34,888
When I came back home,
63
00:02:36,856 --> 00:02:40,693
the first thing I noticed
was her car was missing.
64
00:02:40,727 --> 00:02:43,630
[ominous music]
65
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:48,268
And when I walked
in the back door,
66
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,937
[suspenseful music]
67
00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:52,939
I saw blood everywhere.
68
00:02:52,972 --> 00:02:56,209
[suspenseful music]
69
00:02:57,443 --> 00:02:59,679
And bloody footprints
headed to the kitchen.
70
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:02,749
[suspenseful music]
71
00:03:03,883 --> 00:03:07,187
And then, it wasn't
far into the kitchen
72
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:09,422
that she was laying
there on the floor.
73
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:13,293
[suspenseful music]
74
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:14,961
And I grabbed the phone.
75
00:03:14,994 --> 00:03:15,962
Please!
76
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:38,218
[Paula sobbing]
77
00:03:45,925 --> 00:03:47,327
[Paula sobbing]
78
00:03:52,765 --> 00:03:54,601
[suspenseful music]
79
00:03:54,634 --> 00:03:58,371
[somber music]
[siren wailing]
80
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:00,740
I remember the
ambulance showing up.
81
00:04:00,773 --> 00:04:03,209
They went in and came
straight back out.
82
00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:07,914
And I just remember several
sheriff's deputies showing up.
83
00:04:07,947 --> 00:04:09,749
[pensive music]
84
00:04:09,782 --> 00:04:14,020
- We arrived on the scene and
the 911 caller, Ms. Cardwell,
85
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:17,757
was outside of the
residence, very distraught.
86
00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:20,260
We did speak to her
87
00:04:20,293 --> 00:04:23,363
and just get an
overview of what she saw
88
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:25,531
before we went into the house.
89
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:27,400
[suspenseful music]
90
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:29,502
There didn't appear to be
any type of forced entry
91
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:30,770
into the residence.
92
00:04:30,803 --> 00:04:34,540
[suspenseful music]
93
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:36,576
We walked into the garage,
94
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,912
made sure that there's no
one else in the garage,
95
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:41,814
[suspenseful music]
96
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,384
and opened up the back door.
97
00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:47,787
[suspenseful music]
98
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:49,389
[footsteps clacking]
99
00:04:49,422 --> 00:04:52,659
There was a blood trail
leading to the kitchen area.
100
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:55,828
[suspenseful music]
101
00:04:55,862 --> 00:04:57,964
Anna was there on the
floor in the kitchen.
102
00:04:57,997 --> 00:05:00,400
[suspenseful music]
103
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:03,836
It just looked like
just a horrendous scene.
104
00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:07,307
[pensive music]
105
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:08,441
- It was obvious to us
106
00:05:08,474 --> 00:05:10,076
that there was one
fatal gunshot wound
107
00:05:10,109 --> 00:05:11,577
to the back of the head.
108
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:13,579
That's like an
execution-style killing.
109
00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:16,316
[pensive music]
110
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,851
- [Det. Evans] We spoke to
Ms. Cardwell
111
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:21,421
who said that she left
the residence around 9:15.
112
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:25,558
And the 911 call was
placed around 10:15,
113
00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:28,428
so we knew there was
about an hour window there
114
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:30,430
for the crime to
have taken place.
115
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:31,998
[suspenseful music]
116
00:05:32,031 --> 00:05:33,866
- [Paula] My son was working in
Clanton,
117
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,570
which was about a
30, 45-minute drive.
118
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:41,441
My husband was up north
on a business trip,
119
00:05:41,474 --> 00:05:42,975
so I kept trying to call him,
120
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:44,977
and finally, he answered,
121
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:46,846
and I told him what had happened
122
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:49,982
and one of his coworkers
got him on a plane
123
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:51,851
and got him home.
124
00:05:51,884 --> 00:05:54,854
- The father and the brother
who also lived there,
125
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:57,590
they were both out of
town working at the time,
126
00:05:57,623 --> 00:06:00,026
so they were not
involved in this.
127
00:06:00,059 --> 00:06:02,128
[pensive music]
128
00:06:02,161 --> 00:06:04,731
- [Alan] Although the immediate
family was ruled out,
129
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:05,765
in the kitchen,
130
00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:07,467
investigators notice
a telling detail
131
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:08,634
within the crime scene.
132
00:06:08,668 --> 00:06:10,002
[suspenseful music]
133
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,605
- So based upon the
clothing she was wearing,
134
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:15,475
which is kind of something
you would go to bed in,
135
00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:18,378
and the fact that there
were no busted windows
136
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:19,879
or doors kicked in,
137
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:23,383
it did indicate to us that she
most likely knew her killer.
138
00:06:23,416 --> 00:06:25,785
[suspenseful music]
139
00:06:25,818 --> 00:06:28,154
- [Paula] She must have gotten
up from bed
140
00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:29,889
and answered the door.
141
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:32,525
- [Det. Evans] The overall
condition of the house
142
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,460
was immaculate, really.
143
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:38,765
There was not anything obvious
that appeared to be missing.
144
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:40,666
[suspenseful music]
145
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,035
- [Alan] If their hunch is right
and Anna did let
146
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:45,438
her own murderer in
through the front door,
147
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:47,907
there must have
been familiarity.
148
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:51,177
[suspenseful music]
149
00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:54,046
Investigators must
track this bloody trail
150
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,683
and figure out how Anna
ended up dead on the floor
151
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:58,851
in the kitchen.
152
00:06:58,885 --> 00:07:01,788
- The blood trail is telling
us that as she's running,
153
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:05,558
she's bleeding, the blood
is striking the ground,
154
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,693
and you can tell her movements
155
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:10,062
from just being able to
look at the blood patterns
156
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,532
and see where she had gone.
157
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:18,704
- The blood began
158
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:21,674
where the hallway pretty
much meets the den.
159
00:07:21,707 --> 00:07:25,945
It appeared that Anna had
been shot there in the hallway
160
00:07:25,978 --> 00:07:29,081
and she began to run
through the residence.
161
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:30,950
[suspenseful music]
162
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:33,085
- [CJ] There was a bloody hand
print
163
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,821
kind of on the wall on the door,
164
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:39,225
as if she was trying to escape,
165
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:40,226
and almost did.
166
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:42,728
[suspenseful music]
167
00:07:42,762 --> 00:07:44,831
- [Det. Evans] The shell casings
in the residence
168
00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:46,599
were from a
nine-millimeter handgun.
169
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:48,568
[suspenseful music]
170
00:07:48,601 --> 00:07:49,836
It would appear that
the murder weapon
171
00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:51,971
was gonna be a
nine-millimeter handgun.
172
00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:53,239
[compelling music]
173
00:07:53,272 --> 00:07:54,707
- [Alan] Once they have
assessed the scene,
174
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,576
investigators want to turn back
175
00:07:56,609 --> 00:08:00,580
to Paula Cardwell immediately
for more information.
176
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:01,881
She is still in shock.
177
00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:03,850
[compelling music]
178
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:05,585
- [CJ] You don't ever
want to see a mother
179
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,253
whose child has been murdered.
180
00:08:07,286 --> 00:08:09,856
[somber music]
181
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:10,990
- [Paula] It's like you're just
frozen,
182
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:12,625
and you don't know what to do,
183
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,994
and you just do something.
184
00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:17,263
[somber music]
185
00:08:17,296 --> 00:08:18,564
The detective just asked me:
186
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:21,634
Was there anything that I
noticed that was missing?
187
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,169
And I said, "Well,
her car's gone."
188
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:24,504
[suspenseful music]
189
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:27,607
- [Det. Evans] When we realized
the vehicle was missing,
190
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,642
we put out a BOLO,
191
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:32,712
which basically means
be on the lookout.
192
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:36,182
- [Alan] Meanwhile, Paula
begins the near-impossible task
193
00:08:36,215 --> 00:08:39,619
of calling close family
and friends with the news,
194
00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:42,021
and word quickly spreads.
195
00:08:42,054 --> 00:08:44,790
- My phone kept
ding-ding-dinging,
196
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:48,027
and seeing like everyone
texting me like, "Did you hear?
197
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:49,862
You know, like
something's wrong."
198
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,666
- [Paula] And then friends
started showing up, and family,
199
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:56,202
and there were a lot of
people from her friend group.
200
00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:58,638
It was just a yard
full of people,
201
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:01,674
with just everybody,
you know, confused
202
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:04,210
and can't believe what
has happened to her.
203
00:09:04,243 --> 00:09:05,945
[pensive music]
204
00:09:05,978 --> 00:09:07,780
- [Alan] Law enforcement
takes this opportunity
205
00:09:07,813 --> 00:09:10,082
to ask friends and
family about the victim.
206
00:09:10,116 --> 00:09:11,918
[pensive music]
207
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:14,554
- [Paula] Anna Catherine was who
she was,
208
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:15,922
and she was proud of it,
209
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:18,925
and I loved that
confidence about her
210
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:22,662
and that ability to have
such good self-image.
211
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:25,698
When Anna Catherine
graduated from high school,
212
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,533
she wanted to be
a school teacher.
213
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:29,936
She'd started taking classes.
214
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:33,573
So, I would love to think
that's what she would've been
215
00:09:33,606 --> 00:09:35,942
'cause she was very
good with children.
216
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,710
- [Melinda] I don't think she
knew a stranger.
217
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,713
If you were a stranger, she
would make you into a friend.
218
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,114
You could not ignore her.
219
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:44,817
That's how her personality was.
220
00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:47,720
- I mean, she was
the little princess
221
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,722
and then she was also
the little tomboy.
222
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:51,691
[Anna Catherine laughing]
223
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:52,959
- [Lindsay] She was so silly
that
224
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:54,694
I could just picture
it in my head right now.
225
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:57,730
Her hair just slinging
around, her mouth wide open,
226
00:09:57,763 --> 00:09:59,699
like being crazy.
227
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:02,702
[mellow music]
228
00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:04,971
- People go to a couple
different high schools,
229
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:07,106
even private
schools in the area,
230
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:09,241
but Slapout's a small community
231
00:10:09,275 --> 00:10:11,844
and so it's pretty
common for all of them
232
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:14,013
to be friends with each other.
233
00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:17,617
- We always had somewhere
to go and something to do.
234
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,251
[mellow music]
235
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:20,853
- Anna Catherine had
different friends
236
00:10:20,886 --> 00:10:22,254
from this group and that group.
237
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,390
She was just the person that
hung out with everybody.
238
00:10:24,423 --> 00:10:26,692
That's just goes back
to how kind she was.
239
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:28,761
[mellow music]
240
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:30,730
- [Paula] She loved her friends
deeply
241
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:32,898
and they were very
important to her,
242
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:37,136
and she loved being part of
a group and doing things.
243
00:10:37,169 --> 00:10:39,839
[mellow music]
244
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:42,775
- [Lindsay] I think the closest
friend
245
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:44,410
that was always at her
house every single day,
246
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:45,878
no matter what, was Lacy.
247
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:47,046
[pensive music]
248
00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:48,814
They both confided
in each other.
249
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:51,417
She would tell Lacy everything
250
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:53,285
and Lacy would tell
her everything.
251
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:56,889
- [Alan] Detectives went
to speak to this best friend
252
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:58,391
who was grieving at the scene.
253
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:02,061
- [Det. Evans] Then our
conversation with Lacy,
254
00:11:02,094 --> 00:11:04,764
she was upset,
she was emotional,
255
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:07,433
but she really couldn't
tell us anybody
256
00:11:07,466 --> 00:11:11,203
who she suspected of
committing this crime.
257
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:15,174
She did not indicate that Anna
had a problem with anyone.
258
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:16,942
I mean, everybody
seemed to love Anna,
259
00:11:16,976 --> 00:11:19,445
everybody got along with Anna.
260
00:11:19,478 --> 00:11:21,313
[suspenseful music]
261
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:22,481
- [Lindsay] As friends,
262
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,951
we have always been like
close-knit and knew everyone.
263
00:11:25,985 --> 00:11:28,320
We knew everyone's business.
264
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:31,457
There was no one that
had that type of anger
265
00:11:31,490 --> 00:11:33,959
that I could think of or
that anyone could think of
266
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,328
that could possibly
even have the capacity
267
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:39,198
to even think to do that.
268
00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:41,834
But I know the whole
community felt scared.
269
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,235
[suspenseful music]
270
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:45,838
- [Alan] For those closest
to Anna on her front lawn,
271
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,240
it's unsettling to think
someone in their circle
272
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:49,842
cannot be trusted.
273
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:52,211
[suspenseful music]
274
00:11:52,244 --> 00:11:54,346
- [Melinda] Everyone's crying,
everyone's hugging,
275
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,816
but you're glancing
at the faces,
276
00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:59,351
and you just wonder
if anyone there
277
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:01,120
could have known something.
278
00:12:01,153 --> 00:12:02,955
[suspenseful music]
279
00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:07,093
- [CJ] Here, you clearly have
a beautiful young girl
280
00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:08,728
that is murdered
in her own home.
281
00:12:08,761 --> 00:12:11,997
So, one of the first things
that we start thinking about is:
282
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:13,232
Is there a boyfriend?
283
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:14,834
Is there an ex-boyfriend?
284
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,969
Is there some type of
personal connection
285
00:12:17,002 --> 00:12:18,871
to this young girl?
286
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:20,372
[pensive music]
287
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:23,709
- [Paula] Anna Catherine had
recently started dating Nick.
288
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:27,146
They seemed to
really get along well
289
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:28,848
and enjoy each other's company.
290
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:31,383
[couple chattering]
291
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,754
Anna Catherine liked
the guys that were fun,
292
00:12:34,787 --> 00:12:36,422
that were polite
and good to her,
293
00:12:36,455 --> 00:12:39,525
and that were good to her
family and her friends.
294
00:12:39,558 --> 00:12:43,395
And if they were not, she
just wouldn't stay with them.
295
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:45,164
[siren wailing]
296
00:12:45,197 --> 00:12:46,065
- [Alan] Detectives learn
297
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,267
that one of those
ex-boyfriends, Todd,
298
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:51,137
is among the group grieving
at the crime scene.
299
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:53,272
[suspenseful music]
300
00:12:53,305 --> 00:12:56,408
- [Paula] Todd was a previous
boyfriend
301
00:12:56,442 --> 00:13:01,147
and they dated for a while,
I mean, a year longer,
302
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:04,183
and just had recently broke up
303
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:06,318
before Anna Catherine
started dating Nick.
304
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:08,187
[suspenseful music]
305
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:10,890
- [Melinda] All of Anna's
friends were there.
306
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:13,292
Lacy was there, Todd was there.
307
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:15,294
[suspenseful music]
308
00:13:15,327 --> 00:13:16,562
I didn't see Nick.
309
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:17,830
[compelling music]
310
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:20,900
- [Det. Evans] The night before
was Valentine's Day,
311
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:23,169
and according to Ms. Cardwell,
312
00:13:23,202 --> 00:13:26,205
Nick had come to the house
just to spend time with Anna.
313
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,040
[compelling music]
314
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:30,576
He was there until approximately
2:00 in the morning.
315
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:32,311
[compelling music]
316
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:34,580
- [Melinda[ Everyone was very
confused,
317
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:38,184
trying to figure out who
could have possibly done that
318
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:40,486
and it just kind
of made you think.
319
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:43,455
[suspenseful music]
320
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:44,590
- [Alan] Coming up.
321
00:13:44,623 --> 00:13:46,959
- [Lindsay] With Nick being the
new guy in the group,
322
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:49,328
he definitely was questionable.
323
00:13:49,361 --> 00:13:52,832
- [Paula] Todd had text her the
night before she was killed
324
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:56,969
and I think there were maybe
still some feelings there.
325
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:59,038
- [Det. Evans] They called me on
the radio and said,
326
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:01,240
"You're not gonna believe this."
327
00:14:01,273 --> 00:14:04,343

[pensive music]
336
00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:15,454
- [Alan] The tight circle of
friends
337
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:18,657
of Anna Catherine Cardwell
are gathered on her front lawn
338
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,126
to grapple with her
mysterious murder.
339
00:14:22,194 --> 00:14:24,163
Conspicuously missing among them
340
00:14:24,196 --> 00:14:26,432
is Anna's new boyfriend, Nick.

[suspenseful music]
342
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:32,004
- [Paula] I was a little
shocked later in the day
343
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:33,906
that Nick did not show up.
344
00:14:33,939 --> 00:14:36,642
[suspenseful music]
345
00:14:36,675 --> 00:14:39,678
- [Alan] With Nick's absence
at the house quite glaring,
346
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:43,148
investigators got even more
curious and gather more intel.
347
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:45,150
[suspenseful music]
348
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:46,919
- [Robyn] Anna Catherine just
told me about him,
349
00:14:46,952 --> 00:14:48,187
and that he's a really good guy,
350
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:50,456
and that he was really
kind and nice to her,
351
00:14:50,489 --> 00:14:53,392
and I mean, and she thought
he was really good-looking.
352
00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:56,595
- [Paula] I had met him, he was
a very nice young man.
353
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,564
He was good to Anna Catherine,
354
00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:00,699
and he told me,
one day, he said,
355
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,602
"That's just the sweetest
girl I've ever met."
356
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:06,305
So, they were really
happy together.
357
00:15:06,338 --> 00:15:08,941
- [Lindsay] Anna was definitely
head over heels for him.
358
00:15:08,974 --> 00:15:10,309
[pensive music]
359
00:15:10,342 --> 00:15:13,178
But with Nick being the
new guy in the group,
360
00:15:13,212 --> 00:15:15,481
he definitely was questionable.
361
00:15:15,514 --> 00:15:17,416
He was the last one to see her.
362
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:21,587
- [Det. Evans] Nick was the last
person really with Anna
363
00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:23,622
besides her mother.
364
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:26,191
We were given his
name and number
365
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:27,726
from some of the friend group.
366
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,228
[suspenseful music]
367
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,597
- [Alan] Finally, that
afternoon, Nick surfaces,
368
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:34,500
and agrees to meet with
investigators at the station.
369
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:38,170
[compelling music]
370
00:15:38,203 --> 00:15:40,306
- [Det. Evans] When we
interviewed Nick,
371
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:41,941
he did look distraught.
372
00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:45,077
It didn't look like he
was hiding anything.
373
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:47,980
He was immediately very
forthcoming with where he was,
374
00:15:48,013 --> 00:15:49,181
what he had been doing,
375
00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:54,186
and he appeared to be very
shaken up about the situation.
376
00:15:54,353 --> 00:15:56,522
- [CJ] But, is there things
about him we don't know?
377
00:15:56,555 --> 00:16:00,526
Is there a part of him
that leads us to believe
378
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:02,227
that he has a violent past?
379
00:16:02,261 --> 00:16:04,763
[pensive music]
380
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:06,265
The first thing that we noticed
381
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:08,634
is there's no what we
would call a rap sheet,
382
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:09,668
but we gotta look further.
383
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:14,139
[suspenseful music]
[clock ticking]
384
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:15,674
- [Det. Evans] During our
conversation with Nick,
385
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:18,677
he did say that the night
before she was killed,
386
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:22,548
they had decided they would
officially be a couple.
387
00:16:22,581 --> 00:16:25,384
[pensive music]
388
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:27,653
So, he had come to the house
389
00:16:27,686 --> 00:16:30,522
just to spend time with
her on Valentine's Day.
390
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:34,126
[compelling music]
391
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:36,528
He was there until approximately
2:00 in the morning.
392
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:38,664
[pensive music]
393
00:16:38,697 --> 00:16:40,399
- [Paula] I knew he had to
work the next day,
394
00:16:40,432 --> 00:16:43,435
so I said, "Anna Catherine,
it's getting late,
395
00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:44,670
you need to go to bed."
396
00:16:44,703 --> 00:16:46,505
And she said, "Okay, mama."
397
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:52,378
And in a little bit, I heard
her door close and that was it.
398
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,446
[suspenseful music]
399
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,415
- [Det. Evans] Once we got
Anna's cell phone,
400
00:16:56,448 --> 00:16:58,550
there were some text messages
401
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:02,154
after 2:00 in the morning
to Nick,
402
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:03,722
you know, things like,
"I miss you already,"
403
00:17:03,756 --> 00:17:04,690
that sort of thing.
404
00:17:04,723 --> 00:17:08,160
So they did leave on good terms,
405
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:10,429
so what he was telling
us was accurate.
406
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,464
[suspenseful music]
407
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:14,600
We asked Nick, obviously,
408
00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:17,269
where he was the
morning of the 15th.
409
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:23,609
His response was that he
was at home asleep, alone,
410
00:17:23,642 --> 00:17:28,680
which could be troubling if
you're trying to prove an alibi.
411
00:17:28,781 --> 00:17:32,184
Nick said he was
woken up by a call
412
00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:33,752
telling him what had
happened to Anna.
413
00:17:33,786 --> 00:17:35,454
[suspenseful music]
414
00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:39,224
From the way he answered our
questions and his demeanor,
415
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:41,593
it appeared that he
was being truthful.
416
00:17:41,627 --> 00:17:44,363
[suspenseful music]
417
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,765
So Nick's, you know,
still under consideration,
418
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,467
but not heavily.
419
00:17:49,535 --> 00:17:52,604
- [Alan] Detectives aren't
ruling Nick out as a suspect
420
00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:54,106
and they also can't
help but think
421
00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:56,608
that Anna's murder the
day after Valentine's Day
422
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:58,210
is no coincidence.
423
00:17:58,243 --> 00:18:01,747
So, they turned their
attention to Anna's ex,
424
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:04,383
the one who'd been present
at the crime scene,
425
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:05,250
Todd.
426
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:06,752
[compelling music]
427
00:18:06,785 --> 00:18:08,887
- [Det. Evans] His father is a
well-respected businessman
428
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:09,788
in Elmore County.
429
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,223
[car engine humming]
430
00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:14,126
Their family is
fairly well-known.
431
00:18:14,159 --> 00:18:16,228
Nothing out of the ordinary
432
00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:18,497
that would raise
suspicion towards him.
433
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:19,765
[pensive music]
434
00:18:19,798 --> 00:18:23,368
- [Lindsay] So, Todd and Anna, I
know they dated for a long time.
435
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:25,504
[pensive music]
436
00:18:25,537 --> 00:18:27,673
- [Alan] Police learned
that the two stayed in touch
437
00:18:27,706 --> 00:18:30,142
and that Todd had texted
her on Valentine's Day.
438
00:18:30,175 --> 00:18:32,377
[suspenseful music]
439
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:35,747
- [Paula] Todd had text her the
night before she was killed.
440
00:18:36,882 --> 00:18:40,652
Anna Catherine was excited that
Todd had reached out to her,
441
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:45,257
and I think there were maybe
still some feelings there.
442
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:48,827
- [Alan] Was Todd's text meant
to rekindle a lost love,
443
00:18:48,861 --> 00:18:50,929
or could it have been
something more sinister?
444
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,299
[suspenseful music]
445
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:56,268
- [Det. Evans] We brought him in
and talked to him.
446
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:58,704
We read him as Miranda rights
447
00:18:58,737 --> 00:19:00,439
and we got a
statement from Todd.
448
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:01,840
[suspenseful music]
449
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:05,577
According to Todd, they
broke up very amicably,
450
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:07,412
but there's always a possibility
451
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:10,282
that we're just getting the
story that they want us to hear.
452
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:11,817
[suspenseful music]
453
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:14,853
We did ask Todd where
he was that morning.
454
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,823
[suspenseful music]
455
00:19:17,856 --> 00:19:22,828
He advised us that he was in
school out of town at college
456
00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:24,696
for about an hour away.
457
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,299
[suspenseful music]
458
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:29,568
We were able to verify
that that was true.
459
00:19:29,601 --> 00:19:32,337
Pretty much alleviated him
as a suspect at that point.
460
00:19:32,371 --> 00:19:35,741
[suspenseful music]
461
00:19:35,774 --> 00:19:37,743
- [Alan] Just as they wrap
up Todd's statement
462
00:19:37,776 --> 00:19:39,478
on the afternoon of the murder,
463
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:41,446
police get the
strongest lead yet:
464
00:19:42,314 --> 00:19:45,250
a hit on the BOLO
for Anna's car.
465
00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:48,754
- [Det. Evans] About 5:00 that
afternoon,
466
00:19:48,787 --> 00:19:52,691
one of our deputy sheriffs
located the vehicle.
467
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:58,764
The car was in the parking
lot of a local grocery store.
468
00:19:58,797 --> 00:20:02,334
He was able to see the tag on
the front that said, "Anna."
469
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:04,002
[suspenseful music]
470
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:07,739
- [CJ] The car is located about
10 miles away from the house.
471
00:20:07,773 --> 00:20:11,476
Finding her car was huge
for the investigation.
472
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:14,513
That car is basically
a rolling crime scene.
473
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:17,583
[compelling music]
474
00:20:26,758 --> 00:20:28,694
[suspenseful music]
- [Alan] Mere hours after the
murder
475
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:31,330
of 20-year-old Anna Cardwell,
476
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:33,565
a hit comes in on her car,
477
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:35,467
just miles away from
where it was stolen
478
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,602
from the crime scene.
479
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:39,671
[compelling music]
480
00:20:40,639 --> 00:20:41,873
- [Sheriff Franklin] I remember
them saying,
481
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,109
"Hey, they have
located the vehicle,
482
00:20:44,142 --> 00:20:46,878
and it was downtown in the
Winn-Dixie parking lot."
483
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:48,547
[compelling music]
484
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:50,916
- [Det. Evans] All right, we've
got crime scene A,
485
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:52,751
the residence,
486
00:20:52,784 --> 00:20:55,120
and now we've got a
secondary crime scene
487
00:20:55,153 --> 00:20:57,022
that we've gotta
start processing also.
488
00:20:57,055 --> 00:20:59,625
[compelling music]
[siren wailing]
489
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:02,728
That unit dusted
for fingerprints,
490
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:05,731
collected bottles
from the vehicle,
491
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:09,768
items that they thought we
may be able to get DNA off of.
492
00:21:09,801 --> 00:21:12,738
[compelling music]
493
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:15,607
- [Alan] While
investigators await results,
494
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:18,377
Anna's friends take the
search into their own hands.
495
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:19,911
[pensive music]
496
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:22,381
- [Lindsay] So then we knew
where her car was.
497
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:25,117
But still, where's this person?
498
00:21:25,851 --> 00:21:27,886
I hopped in the car with Lacy,
499
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:30,522
and I just remember
driving around
500
00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:32,624
just trying to figure
out what's going on.
501
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:34,893
[pensive music]
502
00:21:34,926 --> 00:21:38,897
We even drove to the Winn-Dixie
after the cops got the car
503
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:41,767
and just drove around
the parking lot.
504
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,901
[pensive music]
505
00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:43,969
Looking around.
506
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:48,173
We were so determined to
find out what's going on.
507
00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:49,941
[suspenseful music]
508
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,910
- [Alan] With the
car dumped just miles
509
00:21:51,943 --> 00:21:52,911
from the crime scene,
510
00:21:53,945 --> 00:21:55,047
investigators follow the hunch
511
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,882
that the killer
was close to Anna.
512
00:21:57,616 --> 00:22:00,085
With several of her more
recent romantic interests
513
00:22:00,118 --> 00:22:01,787
ruled out,
514
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:04,156
police continue to
question Anna's friends.
515
00:22:04,956 --> 00:22:07,059
- [Det. Evans] Who knows Anna
best?
516
00:22:07,092 --> 00:22:08,927
Who is she closest to?
517
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,430
Who does she spend
the most time with?
518
00:22:11,463 --> 00:22:14,399
Who would know the most
details about Anna's life?
519
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:17,936
- [Alan] Lacy was one
of the first friends
520
00:22:17,969 --> 00:22:20,672
investigators spoke
with at the crime scene,
521
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:22,808
but now they know they
need to dig deeper
522
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,443
with Anna's best friend.
523
00:22:24,476 --> 00:22:25,477
[mellow music]
524
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,846
- [Det. Evans] Is she holding
back information
525
00:22:27,879 --> 00:22:30,082
that could possibly be helpful?
526
00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:32,217
So, we call her back in
527
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:34,119
and get a written
statement from her.
528
00:22:34,152 --> 00:22:35,821
[pensive music]

00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:37,823
- [Alan] At the station,
they pressed Lacy further
530
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:40,826
about who Anna was hanging
out with most lately.
531
00:22:41,893 --> 00:22:43,095
- [Lindsay] So at the time,
532
00:22:43,128 --> 00:22:45,997
Lacy was dating a guy
named Josh Caspari.
533
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:47,232
[mellow music]
534
00:22:47,265 --> 00:22:50,569
- [Melinda] Lacy introduced Anna
to Josh,
535
00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:51,970
and they became friends.
536
00:22:52,003 --> 00:22:53,705
[mellow music]
537
00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:56,108
- [Lindsay] Anna was always
hanging out with Lacy and Josh.
538
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:58,243
Whether this is just
the three of them
539
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:02,714
or whether it was Josh and
Lacy and Josh's roommate, Cody,
540
00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:04,716
or anybody else in the group.
541
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:07,119
[pensive music]
542
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:11,590
Cody was more of a
subtle-type person,
543
00:23:11,623 --> 00:23:14,593
like he was outgoing, he
was always with the crowd,
544
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:18,764
but like he wasn't that
loud mouth like Josh.
545
00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:21,600
We all clicked because
we were all goofy
546
00:23:21,633 --> 00:23:24,169
and it didn't matter what
you said because it was...
547
00:23:24,202 --> 00:23:26,004
Everybody's gonna be
laughing at somebody.
548
00:23:26,037 --> 00:23:28,740
[pensive music]
549
00:23:28,774 --> 00:23:31,042
- [Alan] Detectives ask
if Lacy had spoken with Anna
550
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:34,646
in the morning or night
before her murder.
551
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:37,616
[suspenseful music]
552
00:23:37,649 --> 00:23:40,185
- [Lindsay] That morning, Lacy
tried to text her,
553
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:42,053
couldn't get ahold of her.
554
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,189
Well, she didn't really
think anything right away
555
00:23:44,222 --> 00:23:47,025
because Anna always
was sleeping in
556
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:48,193
if she didn't have
something to do.
557
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,795
[pensive music]
558
00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:52,898
- [Det. Evans] Lacy stated that
another friend
559
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:54,933
called her later that morning
560
00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:57,903
and told her that
Anna had been killed.
561
00:23:57,936 --> 00:23:59,638
[suspenseful music]
562
00:23:59,671 --> 00:24:03,775
Lacy called Josh and told him
what had happened to Anna.
563
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:08,079
Lacy gets in her car and
goes to the Cardwells' house
564
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:09,815
to be there with the family,
565
00:24:09,848 --> 00:24:11,550
to just try to comfort them.
566
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:14,085
[pensive music]
567
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,921
- [Alan] Detective Evans is
curious
568
00:24:15,954 --> 00:24:19,691
why Josh Caspari did not
meet her at the crime scene
569
00:24:19,724 --> 00:24:21,827
to be with the friend group.
570
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:23,695
Lacy explains that she and Josh
571
00:24:23,728 --> 00:24:26,064
were not exactly a
model of stability.
572
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:27,332
[compelling music]
573
00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:32,070
- [Lindsay] Lacy and Josh really
had like a crazy relationship.
574
00:24:32,103 --> 00:24:33,705
"Oh, I'm gonna break
up with you this day,
575
00:24:33,738 --> 00:24:35,974
and then we're gonna get
back together this day."
576
00:24:36,007 --> 00:24:37,843
[compelling music]
577
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:40,679
- [Det. Evans] At this time,
she does advise us
578
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:42,981
that Josh was not
happy with Anna,
579
00:24:43,014 --> 00:24:47,686
that Anna convinced Lacy
to break up with Josh.
580
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:49,588
She didn't think
Josh was a good guy.
581
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,723
She didn't think Josh
was good for Lacy.
582
00:24:51,756 --> 00:24:54,226
[compelling music]
583
00:24:54,259 --> 00:24:56,962
- [Paula] Anna Catherine was
quick to let Lacy know,
584
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,697
"You deserve better,"
585
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:01,733
and would encourage Lacy
to find someone else.
586
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:04,803
[compelling music]
587
00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:07,873
- [Lindsay] Anna did definitely
588
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:09,140
have high standards for her
friends
589
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,743
as far as like she
wanted them to have a guy
590
00:25:11,776 --> 00:25:14,980
that treated them right,
loved them for who they were,
591
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:16,381
treated them how they were
supposed to be treated
592
00:25:16,414 --> 00:25:17,148
with respect.
593
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,750
[compelling music]
594
00:25:18,783 --> 00:25:21,720
- [Paula] Josh and Anna would
talk about Lacy.
595
00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:25,857
It drove Anna crazy to be
in the middle of the drama.
596
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:27,759
[suspenseful music]
597
00:25:27,792 --> 00:25:30,729
I think she was a lot more
wrapped up in that drama
598
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:32,130
than we realized.
599
00:25:32,163 --> 00:25:35,200
[suspenseful music]
600
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:40,272

[pensive music]
608
00:25:46,244 --> 00:25:48,113
- [Alan] Investigators have
learned that Anna Cardwell
609
00:25:48,146 --> 00:25:50,949
was trying to convince
her best friend, Lacy,
610
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:53,084
to break up with Josh Caspari.
611
00:25:53,118 --> 00:25:55,253
[compelling music]
612
00:25:55,287 --> 00:25:57,489
- [Lindsay] Lacy was actually
trying to
613
00:25:57,522 --> 00:25:59,724
end it for good this time
614
00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:01,960
[suspenseful music]
615
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:04,796
because she was trying
to, you know, move on.
616
00:26:05,997 --> 00:26:07,732
- [Alan] So, detectives
bring in other friends
617
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:08,900
for questioning,
618
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:11,836
and what they have to say
raises even more red flags.
619
00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:13,238
[suspenseful music]
620
00:26:13,271 --> 00:26:15,240
- [CJ] They said
621
00:26:16,274 --> 00:26:18,810
Josh blamed Anna
622
00:26:18,843 --> 00:26:21,713
for the relationship
with Lacy going south.
623
00:26:22,847 --> 00:26:26,217
- We realized that a lot of
people were scared of Josh.
624
00:26:27,052 --> 00:26:31,122
If everybody else in the
group has that opinion of him,
625
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,124
are you trying to cover for him?
626
00:26:34,326 --> 00:26:37,262
- [Alan] The more the friend
group is comfortable talking,
627
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:38,396
the more tea gets spilled.
628
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:39,798
[suspenseful music]
629
00:26:39,831 --> 00:26:43,134
- [Det. Evans] They said, "Hey,
if you're gonna talk to anybody,
630
00:26:43,168 --> 00:26:44,769
you need to talk
to Josh Caspari."
631
00:26:44,803 --> 00:26:47,005
[suspenseful music]
632
00:26:47,038 --> 00:26:49,140
During the course of
our investigation,
633
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,876
we realized that a lot of people
634
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:54,045
did consider him to
be the type of person
635
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:55,513
that could do this.
636
00:26:56,581 --> 00:26:59,017
- [Alan] They waste no
time bringing in Josh Caspari
637
00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:00,051
for an interview.
638
00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:01,886
[suspenseful music]
639
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,156
Like so many of Anna's friends,
he comes in voluntarily,
640
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:07,926
deeply touched by the tragedy
of his dear friend's death.
641
00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:10,895
[suspenseful music]
642
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:14,032
- [CJ] When Josh Caspari came
in for an interview,
643
00:27:14,065 --> 00:27:16,334
he came in, he sat down,
he talked to investigators.
644
00:27:16,368 --> 00:27:18,036
[suspenseful music]
645
00:27:18,069 --> 00:27:22,107
- [Det. Evans] He seemed like he
was genuinely in disbelief.
646
00:27:22,941 --> 00:27:24,142
He voluntarily came in
647
00:27:24,175 --> 00:27:27,045
and gave a statement for his
whereabouts for that morning.
648
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:32,450
He said that he had left his
vehicle at a friend's house
649
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:34,319
and he had called his
mother to come pick him up
650
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:37,822
and take him to his truck at a
friend's house down the road,
651
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:39,324
and that she had come
and picked him up.
652
00:27:39,357 --> 00:27:40,959
[suspenseful music]
653
00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:44,462
His demeanor didn't stand
out as being suspicious.
654
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:46,097
[pensive music]
655
00:27:46,131 --> 00:27:49,334
Nothing that really
drew any alarms from us.
656
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:52,337
He just seemed like one of
the crowd, one of the group,
657
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:55,206
but we knew we were gonna have
to do a little more digging.
658
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,943
[suspenseful music]
659
00:27:58,977 --> 00:28:00,612
- [Alan] And it doesn't
take a steam shovel
660
00:28:00,645 --> 00:28:02,947
to uncover the real dirt.
661
00:28:02,981 --> 00:28:06,217
[suspenseful music]
662
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:08,353
- [Det. Evans] The next day on
the 16th,
663
00:28:08,386 --> 00:28:10,255
we had another investigator
664
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:13,258
who had gone to
interview Josh's mother,
665
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:15,260
and he called me on the phone
666
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:20,098
and said she told him that she
had indeed picked her son up,
667
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:23,535
but it was in the
Winn-Dixie parking lot,
668
00:28:23,568 --> 00:28:25,403
where Anna Cardwell's
car was dropped off.
669
00:28:25,437 --> 00:28:27,238
[suspenseful music]
670
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:31,409
So at this point, his
mother destroyed his alibi.
671
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:34,979
He had lied to us
about his whereabouts.
672
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:36,214
He was located
673
00:28:37,015 --> 00:28:40,385
where the car
was ditched after the murder.
674
00:28:40,585 --> 00:28:41,986
[compelling music]
675
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,288
- So he's immediately
in that timeline.
676
00:28:43,321 --> 00:28:45,156
[suspenseful music]
677
00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:47,092
- [Det. Evans] This is a major
turning point
678
00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:48,293
in the investigation.
679
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:50,028
[suspenseful music]
680
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,163
- [Alan] It's just 24
hours after Anna's murder
681
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:56,000
and Josh's own mother
has ruined his alibi.
682
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:57,435
This gives police
the ammo they need
683
00:28:57,469 --> 00:28:59,671
to obtain a search
warrant for Josh's home.
684
00:28:59,704 --> 00:29:01,406
[pensive music]
685
00:29:01,439 --> 00:29:04,309
They need more than
catching him in a lie,
686
00:29:04,342 --> 00:29:06,411
they need a smoking gun.
687
00:29:06,444 --> 00:29:07,645
[suspenseful music]
688
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:10,515
- [Det. Evans] We were able to
enter Josh Caspari's residence.
689
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:13,451
The house was fairly orderly
690
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:15,687
for a couple of guys
to be living in it.
691
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,956
Nothing really out
of the ordinary there
692
00:29:19,324 --> 00:29:22,560
until we started
searching the residence.
693
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,062
As we began our search,
694
00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:27,699
we located numerous firearms
695
00:29:27,732 --> 00:29:29,467
throughout the entire residence.
696
00:29:29,501 --> 00:29:32,036
[suspenseful music]
697
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:35,507
There were shotguns,
rifles, pistols.
698
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:39,344
This was a arsenal of firearms.
699
00:29:39,377 --> 00:29:42,447
[suspenseful music]
700
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:48,620
I took a list of what
we had recovered,
701
00:29:48,653 --> 00:29:50,588
handed it to dispatch,
702
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,724
and asked them to start
running the weapons.
703
00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:54,459

to find out its origin.
706
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:02,367
- [Det. Evans] They called me on
the radio and said,
707
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,635
"You're not gonna believe this,
708
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:06,504
but all these weapons
are coming back stolen
709
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:07,639

[telephone ringing]
712
00:30:13,011 --> 00:30:16,514
November of 2011, we got a call
of a home invasion robbery.

00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:21,619
[pensive music]
[siren wailing]
714
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:23,488
- [CJ] A former police officer
715
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:25,723
was the victim of a home
invasion.
716
00:30:26,791 --> 00:30:29,494
- [Det. Evans] These masked men
bust into his house
717
00:30:29,527 --> 00:30:31,663
and stick a gun to his head,
718
00:30:31,696 --> 00:30:34,098
and tell him they're
gonna kill him.
719
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:35,400
- [CJ] They pistol-whipped him
720
00:30:35,433 --> 00:30:37,535
and his gun collection
was taken.
721
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:39,237
[suspenseful music]
722
00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:42,006
- [Alan] The cache of
guns implicates Josh Caspari
723
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,241
in the home invasion.
724
00:30:43,274 --> 00:30:45,543
[suspenseful music]
725
00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:48,546
But does it also implicate
him in Anna's murder?
726
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:51,583
[compelling music]
727
00:30:52,617 --> 00:30:56,254
- [CJ] And as we start
squeezing those walls in,
728
00:30:56,287 --> 00:30:57,388
it's all about Josh Caspari.
729
00:30:57,422 --> 00:30:59,691
[suspenseful music]
730
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:02,126
- [Det. Evans] We're looking at
someone who is capable
731
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,394
of that type of violence.
732

[pensive music]
741
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:15,173
- [Alan] It's almost 24 hours
after Anna's murder
742
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:17,442
and investigators now
have a strong suspicion
743
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:20,311
that Josh Caspari is her killer.
744
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:23,715
[suspenseful music]
745
00:31:23,748 --> 00:31:26,284
- [Det. Evans] We're starting to
see a complete picture of
746
00:31:27,852 --> 00:31:30,388
the violence that
he's capable of.
747
00:31:31,122 --> 00:31:33,825
During the search of
Josh Caspari's residence,
748
00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:36,194
there was also a safe found.
749
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:37,729
We opened the safe,
750
00:31:37,762 --> 00:31:41,266
and there were steroids and
a large amount of currency.
751
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,702
And then there were
two handguns in there,
752
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:46,070
both nine millimeters.
753
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:49,440
[suspenseful music]
754
00:31:49,474 --> 00:31:51,709
So, we had to send them
both off for testing.
755
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:53,578
[suspenseful music]
756
00:31:53,611 --> 00:31:55,613
- [Alan] Josh is
arrested for home invasion
757
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:57,382
and brought in
for interrogation.
758
00:31:58,216 --> 00:32:01,386
Now, they need to hear from
Josh what actually happened.
759
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:05,189
It wasn't going to be
easy to get the truth.
760
00:32:05,223 --> 00:32:07,325
[suspenseful music]
761
00:32:07,358 --> 00:32:11,095
- [Sheriff Franklin] This guy
was a huge steroid taker.
762
00:32:11,129 --> 00:32:12,764
When he walks in
the interview room,
763
00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:14,465
he's actually
flexing his muscle.
764
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:17,568
[suspenseful music]
765
00:32:18,536 --> 00:32:20,371
- [Det. Evans] It kind of
painted the picture
766
00:32:20,405 --> 00:32:23,474
of just a egotistical bully.
767
00:32:23,508 --> 00:32:24,876
[suspenseful music]
768
00:32:24,909 --> 00:32:27,879
We go back to Caspari
769
00:32:27,912 --> 00:32:31,282
and re-interview him this
time about the home invasion.
770
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,755
[suspenseful music]
771
00:32:42,260 --> 00:32:46,664
- [Det. Evans] He implicates his
roommate, Cody Abernathy,
772
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:47,899
in the home invasion.
773
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:49,267
[suspenseful music]
774
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:50,768
- [Alan] While
investigators continue
775
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:53,404
to take Josh's statement
at the sheriff's office,
776
00:32:53,438 --> 00:32:55,373
detectives tracked
down his roommate
777
00:32:55,406 --> 00:32:58,643
and the quiet member of
the Slapout friend group,
778
00:32:58,676 --> 00:32:59,911
Cody Abernathy.
779
00:32:59,944 --> 00:33:03,781
[suspenseful music]
780
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:06,417
- [Det. Evans] We then go get
Mr. Abernathy
781
00:33:06,451 --> 00:33:10,588
and arrest him for
the home invasion.
782
00:33:11,456 --> 00:33:12,657
Interview him.
783
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:13,725
[pensive music]
784
00:33:13,758 --> 00:33:15,927
- [CJ] I think Cody was open
with law enforcement
785
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,199
because he realized the walls
had really closed in on him.
786
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:23,801
- [Det. Evans] Abernathy's
statement to us was, you know,
787
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:27,939
"Basically, you just do
what Josh wants you to do."
788
00:33:27,972 --> 00:33:29,674
They're all scared of Josh.
789
00:33:29,707 --> 00:33:30,842
[suspenseful music]
790
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:32,310
- [Alan] In
exchange for leniency,
791
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:34,412
Cody cooperates and confesses
792
00:33:34,445 --> 00:33:38,449
that Josh had coerced him
into the home invasion.
793
00:33:38,483 --> 00:33:40,551
But that admission is
immediately overshadowed
794
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:42,553
by a far more
significant revelation.
795
00:33:42,587 --> 00:33:44,722
[pensive music]
796
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:46,290
- [Det. Evans] We asked him
797
00:33:46,324 --> 00:33:48,559
if he knew anything about
the murder,
798
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:51,262
[suspenseful music]
799
00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:57,568
so he admits to taking Josh up
there on the 15th of February
800
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,303
and dropping him off
801
00:33:59,337 --> 00:34:02,440
and leaving him there
at the Cardwell house
802
00:34:02,473 --> 00:34:03,841
in the early morning
of the murder.
803
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,209
[suspenseful music]
804
00:34:05,243 --> 00:34:08,713
I mean, you've got someone who
can actually place him there
805
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:13,484
in a awfully
questionable context.
806
00:34:13,518 --> 00:34:16,587
Being that close to
the actual incident,
807
00:34:16,621 --> 00:34:18,356
you know, that's important.
808
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:20,324
[suspenseful music]
809
00:34:20,358 --> 00:34:21,859
- [CJ] So now you have Cody
Abernathy
810
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:24,595
committing the home
invasion with Josh.
811
00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:26,898
You have him dropping
Josh off at Anna's home
812
00:34:26,931 --> 00:34:30,468
not too long before Anna
was killed in her house.
813
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:33,471
[suspenseful music]
814
00:34:33,504 --> 00:34:36,374
Did he know Joshua Caspari
was going there to kill her?
815
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:39,577
[suspenseful music]
816
00:34:40,411 --> 00:34:41,579
What did Josh tell him?
817
00:34:42,413 --> 00:34:45,483
So, those are things to where
we had to sort that out.
818
00:34:45,516 --> 00:34:48,252
For Cody, that was kind
of the difference between,
819
00:34:48,286 --> 00:34:51,255
"Are you looking
at 10 to 99 or life
820
00:34:51,289 --> 00:34:52,890
for being an
accomplished of murder
821
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,360
or are you looking
at a smaller sentence
822
00:34:56,394 --> 00:34:58,262
in connection to
the home invasion
823
00:34:58,296 --> 00:35:00,898
and for, you know,
admitting your role
824
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:04,268
in basically helping
this crime occur,
825
00:35:04,302 --> 00:35:06,637
even if you didn't know he
was going there to kill her?"
826
00:35:06,671 --> 00:35:08,506
[suspenseful music]
827
00:35:08,539 --> 00:35:10,775
- [Lindsay] Whether or not Cody
knew
828
00:35:10,808 --> 00:35:13,544
what Josh was gonna
go do to Anna,
829
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:16,514
I still don't know
the answer to that.
830
00:35:16,547 --> 00:35:19,484
I don't want to
think that he did know
831
00:35:20,084 --> 00:35:21,052
I hope he didn't know.
832
00:35:21,085 --> 00:35:23,054
[compelling music]
833
00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:25,289
- [Alan] Cody
claims he had no idea
834
00:35:25,323 --> 00:35:27,692
Josh was planning
on killing Anna,
835
00:35:27,725 --> 00:35:30,795
but the intel he provides
helps investigators hone in
836
00:35:30,828 --> 00:35:32,663
on Josh's interrogation.
837
00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:35,700
[compelling music]
838
00:35:35,733 --> 00:35:37,401
- [Sheriff Franklin] I think
there was a part of him
839
00:35:37,435 --> 00:35:40,938
that would want to unload
this and get it off his chest.

for the murder of his

- [Sheriff Frnaklin] He needs to

00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:08,659
this is a coldblooded killing
859
00:37:08,693 --> 00:37:11,762
and that you need to give

the investigation turns

[suspenseful music]
866
00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:37,788
- [Sheriff Franklin] The prints

867
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:40,925
to extract from
Anna Cardwell's car
868
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:43,094
were sent to the Department

869
00:37:43,127 --> 00:37:46,697
and those particular prints
came back to Josh Caspari.
870
00:37:46,731 --> 00:37:50,234
[suspenseful music]
871
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:53,471
- [Alan] Investigators can
place Josh inside Anna's car
872
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:56,073
that was stolen from
the crime scene.
873
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:57,341
But, they need to confirm
874
00:37:57,375 --> 00:38:00,711
that one of the dozens
of guns Josh had stolen
875
00:38:00,745 --> 00:38:02,980
was used to kill Anna.
876
00:38:03,014 --> 00:38:04,248
[suspenseful music]
877
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,384
- There were two
nine-millimeters in the safe

00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:08,352
from Josh's house.
879
00:38:08,386 --> 00:38:10,087
So, we had to send them both off

00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,957
to the Department of Forensic
Science for examination.
881
00:38:12,990 --> 00:38:16,360
[compelling music]
882
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:19,830
And one of them does come
back as the murder weapon.
883
00:38:19,864 --> 00:38:22,099
[suspenseful music]
884
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:25,002
- [Alan] The autopsy results
come in and tell the story.
885
00:38:25,036 --> 00:38:26,203
[suspenseful music]
886
00:38:26,237 --> 00:38:30,141
- The medical examiner performed
an autopsy on Anna's body
887
00:38:30,174 --> 00:38:32,109
and it showed a total
of four gunshot wounds.
888
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:33,744
[suspenseful music]
889
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:36,013
- [Det. Evans] Two rounds that
went through her back
890
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:39,517
and then another
round to the chest,
891
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:41,519
and she's still up, and
she's still fighting,
892
00:38:41,552 --> 00:38:43,154
and she's still
trying to get away,
893
00:38:43,187 --> 00:38:44,221
[suspenseful music]
894
00:38:44,255 --> 00:38:47,525
until he ultimately brings
her back into the house
895
00:38:47,558 --> 00:38:48,993
and executes her.
896
00:38:49,026 --> 00:38:52,029
[suspenseful music]
897
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:55,166
I think he drug her back
in from the back door
898
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:59,136
and kind of pushed her down
onto the floor and shot her.
899
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:01,405
[suspenseful music]
900
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:03,441
Just standing over somebody
901
00:39:03,474 --> 00:39:06,143
the moment before
you take their life,
902
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:08,913
I think that's a power thing.
903
00:39:08,946 --> 00:39:11,849
[pensive music]
904
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:15,186
- [Alan] In exchange
for his cooperation,
905
00:39:15,219 --> 00:39:18,556
Cody isn't charged as an
accomplice to the crime,
906
00:39:18,589 --> 00:39:22,026
but he gets 10 years
for the home invasion.
907
00:39:22,059 --> 00:39:23,928
[pensive music]
908
00:39:23,961 --> 00:39:26,464
Josh is charged
with capital murder.
909
00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:29,166
[somber music]
910
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:32,436
- [Lindsay] Lacy gets the texts
and says,
911
00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:34,238
"Well, Josh has been arrested."
912
00:39:35,339 --> 00:39:39,043
All of us were just
started bawling,
913
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:43,447
crying with her, as
she was unconsolable.
914
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:46,083
[somber music]
915
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:49,420
I don't think that Lacy knew
what to do at that point.
916
00:39:50,521 --> 00:39:53,057
Your best friend is gone
917
00:39:53,090 --> 00:39:57,862
and then your boyfriend was
charged with her murder.
918
00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:00,464
Like, how do you deal with that?
919
00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:03,601
[Josh crying]
920
00:40:03,634 --> 00:40:05,202
I still don't understand
921
00:40:06,971 --> 00:40:08,939
or whoever would think
that he would do it.
922
00:40:08,973 --> 00:40:11,575
[somber music]
923
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:19,450
- [Paula] Justice was very
important to me and my family
924
00:40:19,884 --> 00:40:23,220
because that's the last thing
I could do for Anna Catherine.
925
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,622
What else could I do?
926
00:40:24,655 --> 00:40:26,357
But I can get justice for her.
927
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:28,492
[mellow music]
928
00:40:28,526 --> 00:40:30,594
So, it was my last job as a mom.
929
00:40:31,529 --> 00:40:33,631
[mellow music]
930
00:40:33,664 --> 00:40:36,000
- We decided to seek
the death penalty.
931
00:40:36,033 --> 00:40:37,368
[mellow music]
932
00:40:37,401 --> 00:40:39,103
- [Alan] When the death
penalty is on the table,
933
00:40:39,136 --> 00:40:41,238
Josh finally comes clean
934
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:44,375
and owns up to the
premeditated murder.
935
00:40:44,408 --> 00:40:47,278
[mellow music]
936
00:40:47,311 --> 00:40:48,546
- [CJ] That story was,
937
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:52,516
"I blamed Anna for my
relationship with Lacy
938
00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:53,651
that went south.
939
00:40:53,684 --> 00:40:55,286
It was Anna's fault,
940
00:40:55,319 --> 00:40:59,390
and I went to her house to
basically get revenge on Anna
941
00:40:59,423 --> 00:41:01,992
for taking away
something that I love."
942
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:03,894
[suspenseful music]
943
00:41:03,928 --> 00:41:08,999
Joshua Caspari pled to the
capital murder of Anna Cardwell,
944
00:41:09,033 --> 00:41:12,136
murder in the course of
burglary in the first degree.
945
00:41:12,169 --> 00:41:15,639
And in exchange for giving
the full story in open court,
946
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:20,177
his punishment was life without
the possibility of parole.
947
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:22,146
[suspenseful music]
948
00:41:22,179 --> 00:41:26,150
[somber music]
[birds chirping]
949
00:41:26,183 --> 00:41:29,420
- [Lindsay] I feel like it did
make us all grow up really quick
950
00:41:30,721 --> 00:41:32,556
and realize like this is real,
951
00:41:32,590 --> 00:41:33,691
and it could happen to you,
952
00:41:33,724 --> 00:41:35,159
and it can happen in your circle
953
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:37,027
and it can happen in your town.
954
00:41:37,061 --> 00:41:39,063
So, when it's your friend,
955
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,299
someone you know you went to
school with, you worked with,
956
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:45,302
that is insane 'cause it
still don't seem real.
957
00:41:45,636 --> 00:41:48,606
We learned that
always tell each other
958
00:41:48,639 --> 00:41:50,040
that you love them
959
00:41:50,074 --> 00:41:51,442
and spend as much
time as you can.
960
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:54,612
You don't ever know when
the last day will be.
961
00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:55,613
[Lindsay sniffling]
962
00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:58,315
[mellow music]
963
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:01,552
- [Paula] She did make a
difference with other people.
964
00:42:02,987 --> 00:42:05,189
She was just an amazing person.
965
00:42:05,222 --> 00:42:08,492
[somber music]
966
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:12,463
- Josh Caspari has tried to
escape from prison twice,
967
00:42:12,496 --> 00:42:14,198
unsuccessfully.
968
00:42:14,231 --> 00:42:16,200
Thankfully, he
remains incarcerated,
969
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:19,336
what he will be for
the rest of his life.
970
00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:21,472
For Anna Cardwell's
family and friends,
971
00:42:21,505 --> 00:42:24,074
Anna's legacy lives on.
972
00:42:24,108 --> 00:42:26,477
But the promise of safety
within the friend group
973
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:28,546
remains forever broken.
