00:00:06,589 --> 00:00:09,634
IF YOU WERE OR DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO WAS A VICTIM?
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,

2
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:12,637
HAS INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
AT WWW.WANNATALKABOUTIT.COM

3
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:25,859
Do you want me to tell you what happened? The truth?

4
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:27,986
Evil is out there.

5
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:29,779
I use my charm.

6
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:32,323
I use my charm, my beauty.

7
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:33,616
Evil walks among us.

8
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:37,746
I feel fear, I'm like lions.

9
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:39,497
And I say, "You're the hunted."

10
00:00:39,998 --> 00:00:41,583
I really thought I was going to die.

11
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:43,293
There is an anger inside me.

12
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:46,087
Murder, murder.
Kill, kill, kill.

13
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:48,590
I begged him to leave it.

14
00:00:48,673 --> 00:00:51,426
"Get away from that man. He's going to kill you."

15
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:57,015
We realized that we had
an evil monster on your hands.

16
00:00:59,267 --> 00:01:02,812
THE WORST EX

17
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:22,707
In 2018, I was 26 years old

18
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:26,711
and lived alone
in my first apartment,

19
00:01:27,545 --> 00:01:30,340
with my two dogs
and my two cats,

20
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,676
a few kilometers from my parents.

21
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,430
It was close enough
to feel safe,

22
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,349
but it was independent at last.

23
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:41,851
FLORIDA

24
00:01:43,394 --> 00:01:45,188
I have always loved working with animals.

25
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:50,610
When I was 19,
I started working at a zoo.

26
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:55,990
He used to train tigers,
work with poisonous snakes,

27
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:58,326
and I spent two years fighting alligators.

28
00:02:00,078 --> 00:02:02,455
So I took a break from the dangerous scenes

29
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:04,916
and I started taking care of dogs.

30
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:10,380
My love life wasn't...

31
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,132
the best.

32
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:13,091
I…

33
00:02:13,174 --> 00:02:18,221
I've always been a shy person.
I don't go out to socialize with people.

34
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,806
IN LOVE WITH ANIMALS

35
00:02:19,889 --> 00:02:22,767
But then I experienced
online meetings.

36
00:02:24,936 --> 00:02:28,565
I saw a guy whose name was Steven.

37
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:32,026
He was 1.96 m tall, had dimples

38
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,445
and it was really cool.

39
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:37,657
And I thought:
"This is obviously a fake profile."

40
00:02:38,741 --> 00:02:41,161
But I liked him, and he replied,

41
00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:44,914
He sent me a message, and we agreed to go out.

42
00:02:45,874 --> 00:02:47,083
He met with me.

43
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,251
It was really him.

44
00:02:48,334 --> 00:02:49,460
He was a real person.

45
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:52,172
1.96 m, very cute, good teeth.

46
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:55,758
And I thought, "Cum dude!
I found the perfect man."

47
00:02:56,634 --> 00:02:57,969
We hit it off straight away.

48
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:01,639
And at the end of the night,
He asked if he could kiss me.

49
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:03,266
And I thought:

50
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:05,226
"What is this? This is…

51
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:07,562
This looks like a fairy tale."

52
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:13,234
So that's where it all started,
and we became inseparable.

53
00:03:15,278 --> 00:03:17,447
Steven was a personal trainer.

54
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:20,825
He told me he was from North Florida,

55
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:25,705
that had been adopted
and given to two amazing people

56
00:03:25,788 --> 00:03:27,457
through their Church.

57
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,667
They were nice, well-off people.

58
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:35,089
And he said he had been in touch
with the father, the biological father.

59
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,843
And he seemed happy about it.

60
00:03:39,552 --> 00:03:43,431
When my parents met Steven,
they liked him a lot.

61
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:49,270
They thought he was very sweet
and he seemed to have his head on straight.

62
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:53,441
And my animals liked him,
what was important.

63
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:01,658
Don't eat it all.

64
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:09,666
After a few weeks,
He asked me if I wanted to date him.

65
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:12,252
And of course I said yes.

66
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:18,675
At the time, Steven was already complaining
of the colleague with whom he lived.

67
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:23,554
I trusted him, I felt something for him,
and I let him come live with me,

68
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:25,682
It was quick, in the first month.

69
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:29,269
He didn't have a car, he asked me a lot for mine.

70
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:33,147
And I lived just a few kilometers away
from the park he frequented.

71
00:04:33,231 --> 00:04:36,317
Therefore,
He went there to give personal training.

72
00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:42,365
I think it was at the end of September,
beginning of October,

73
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:44,784
that we started officially dating.

74
00:04:44,909 --> 00:04:49,539
I was very happy. I thought:
"That's it. I'm going to marry this guy."

75
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:54,377
CHANGE ACCOUNT

76
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:57,797
I LOVE THE BEACH

77
00:05:00,842 --> 00:05:02,468
In 2018,

78
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,471
Wade and I matched on Plenty of Fish,

79
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:09,559
around the end of September,
beginning of October.

80
00:05:10,059 --> 00:05:12,645
FLORIDA

81
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:14,605
I was 26 years old

82
00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:17,442
and I had just moved to Loxahatchee.

83
00:05:20,361 --> 00:05:22,989
When I saw Wade
For the first time, I thought:

84
00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:28,536
"It's very attractive,
very beautiful, very tall."

85
00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:31,497
And he had a beautiful voice.

86
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:37,211
He kept saying, "Let's go to the park."

87
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:42,925
Then we met
and we sat there talking.

88
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:46,804
We played a lot, we laughed a lot.

89
00:05:47,305 --> 00:05:50,099
It was like we already knew each other
some time ago.

90
00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:54,645
Wade said he was looking for a relationship

91
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:58,608
and that its only defect
it was not having a good woman in his life.

92
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:03,112
I just thought:
"It's too good to be true."

93
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:10,244
Wade and I were already dating and…

94
00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:13,247
We spent all our time on the phone.

95
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:18,920
We exchanged messages, we called,
we sent photos to each other.

96
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:20,505
But I worked a lot.

97
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:25,259
So me and Wade, in the beginning,
We didn't see each other that much.

98
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,390
But I was ecstatic, on the seven farms,

99
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,809
for having found someone.

100
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:34,310
NOVEMBER 9, 2018

101
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:36,771
KELLY AND "STEVEN"
2 MONTHS OF DATING

102
00:06:40,024 --> 00:06:42,485
Living with Steven was great.

103
00:06:42,985 --> 00:06:44,445
He cooked and…

104
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:46,489
He took great care of me.

105
00:06:48,032 --> 00:06:52,453
But the first big warning sign was…

106
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,080
One day, I came home from work,

107
00:06:54,163 --> 00:06:56,249
I wanted the notebook to edit some photos

108
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,127
and I wasn't finding it.

109
00:06:59,627 --> 00:07:00,837
I turned everything around.

110
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,841
And Steven just said, "I don't know, I didn't see him."

111
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:07,510
It was nowhere.

112
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:10,638
And then, finally,

113
00:07:10,721 --> 00:07:15,184
Steven admitted that he had pawned it,
because he needed money.

114
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:20,440
I was so angry that I called the police
and filed a complaint.

115
00:07:23,067 --> 00:07:27,155
The police searched
at every pawnshop in the county.

116
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:31,576
They found my laptop
three kilometers up the street,

117
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,080
went there and checked
that it was Steven who had taken him.

118
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,333
That's when I learned his name was Wade,

119
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:42,795
because he had used identification in the seizure,

120
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,131
and that Steven was his middle name.

121
00:07:45,214 --> 00:07:47,008
It was a big shock for me,

122
00:07:47,091 --> 00:07:50,928
because all the time,
I thought his name was Steven.

123
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:54,682
I asked him
because he went by the name Steven,

124
00:07:54,765 --> 00:07:58,060
why dating profile
Steven said.

125
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:01,856
I discovered that I had several profiles
on Facebook under that name.

126
00:08:01,939 --> 00:08:06,569
And he just said
who needed a stratagem,

127
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:09,739
because he had some ex-girlfriends
who knew his name

128
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,949
and he didn't want them to find him.

129
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:16,662
He was very good at giving grease.

130
00:08:16,746 --> 00:08:19,832
When we have a 6'1" man crying,

131
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:23,252
saying he's very sorry
and that he just needed the money,

132
00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:25,880
breaks our heart and:

133
00:08:25,963 --> 00:08:30,343
"It's okay, I understand.
It was just this once. It won't happen again."

134
00:08:31,302 --> 00:08:34,222
It was one of my first
more serious relationships,

135
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:39,435
for what I still didn't really know
how a real relationship should work.

136
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:42,939
And we had only been together for a few months.

137
00:08:43,731 --> 00:08:48,069
So when he apologized
and said he wouldn't do it again, I believed him.

138
00:08:51,822 --> 00:08:53,449
In November,

139
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:57,662
on Wade's Instagram,
I saw a person called Pinup Princess

140
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:01,332
commenting on all his posts.

141
00:09:01,415 --> 00:09:02,250
CALL ME

142
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:05,211
So I asked him:

143
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:07,255
"Who is this?

144
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:09,382
Why does he ask you to call him?"

145
00:09:09,465 --> 00:09:12,468
And I discovered
that Pinup Princess was Kelly

146
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:16,973
and also the girl
which was on his cell phone as K.

147
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,811
And he said to me:
"It's just the colleague who lives with me."

148
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:25,523
And at the time, I just said, "Okay."

149
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:26,440
And I believed.

150
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,150
DECEMBER 5, 2018

151
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,611
KELLY AND WADE
3 MONTHS OF DATING

152
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:34,365
A friend of mine
had broken up with her boyfriend

153
00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:38,160
and needed to stay at someone's house.
I let her stay at mine.

154
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:44,250
One day we were all sitting
talking about mastiffs, and I said:

155
00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:49,213
"I know a guy who breeds a rare breed
of mastiffs, called Presa Canário.

156
00:09:49,297 --> 00:09:51,757
And they had some dogs."

157
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:55,636
I didn't know he would take it
and do what he did.

158
00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:59,265
And my friend
I was only 18, so…

159
00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:03,352
I think he got carried away
because of Wade's charisma.

160
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:07,231
I went to work,

161
00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:11,986
and Wade and my friend,
Apparently, they went to the kennel,

162
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:15,489
stole, I think,
three or four dogs

163
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:18,159
and they took us home.

164
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:22,747
I came home from work and asked:

165
00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:27,376
"Why are these dogs in my house?
They will look for them."

166
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,836
I was freaking out.

167
00:10:30,504 --> 00:10:32,173
Wade didn't care.

168
00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:34,675
He said, "We need to sell the dogs."

169
00:10:35,259 --> 00:10:39,055
So he and my friend
they took pictures of them in front of my sofa

170
00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:41,932
and they posted them on Craigslist.

171
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:48,272
The dog owner recognized my house
and called the police.

172
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:55,404
Then Wade called me saying:

173
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,741
"I need you to talk to the detective
and say it was you.

174
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:01,827
If you don't do this, I will kill your dogs."

175
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:06,999
It was completely unexpected.
I just thought:

176
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:09,293
"Who are you? What's going on?"

177
00:11:10,586 --> 00:11:14,006
I wasn't sure
if he would do such a thing,

178
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:18,386
but I feared so much for my animals
who didn't want to risk it.

179
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:21,263
He was at home with them,
and me, working.

180
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:24,517
So I called the police.

181
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,310
I was told to tell everything:

182
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:28,938
how he stole the dogs,
what the place was like.

183
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:30,356
And I did so.

184
00:11:31,732 --> 00:11:34,819
They said I had to turn myself in,
the next day.

185
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:39,073
When I got home, I confronted Wade.

186
00:11:39,573 --> 00:11:44,078
Fortunately,
He didn't do anything to my dogs.

187
00:11:44,161 --> 00:11:45,454
And he told me:

188
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:49,667
"I have a record, you don't.
You'd better be under surveillance."

189
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:54,380
He said he had been arrested
for small things,

190
00:11:54,463 --> 00:11:56,590
like thefts and scenes like that.

191
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:59,218
That's when I found out about the registration.

192
00:11:59,301 --> 00:12:00,261
I had no idea.

193
00:12:00,344 --> 00:12:04,181
I thought he was a good boy
from Tallahassee.

194
00:12:06,976 --> 00:12:11,939
The next day, Wade and my friend
They went to take me to prison.

195
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:17,903
And I had to be locked up for 27 hours.

196
00:12:20,322 --> 00:12:22,491
I was raised in a Catholic school.

197
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,410
I'm no criminal.

198
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:27,121
So I spent the whole time crying.

199
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:34,545
When I got home,
they had disappeared.

200
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:37,465
And their stuff too:

201
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:39,508
all of Wade's clothes,

202
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,260
all her clothes,

203
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,388
my pistol.

204
00:12:44,889 --> 00:12:46,056
I panicked.

205
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:53,564
I went to see the surveillance footage
and what I discovered was that,

206
00:12:53,647 --> 00:12:56,650
the night they left me in prison,

207
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:58,652
they came home

208
00:12:59,236 --> 00:13:03,282
and they just started kissing and hugging
in front of my camera.

209
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,409
So, I already had proof.

210
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:08,621
that he was cheating on me
with my friend.

211
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:15,252
At that time,
I had already investigated Wade's past

212
00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:17,838
and discovered he was a criminal.

213
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:23,552
He had several gun theft charges

214
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:26,847
and assault and housebreaking.

215
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:30,684
And I believe there was also
some drug charges.

216
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:34,188
He told the Police:
"A criminal stole my pistol."

217
00:13:34,772 --> 00:13:38,776
So they issued an arrest warrant
in the state of Florida.

218
00:13:39,276 --> 00:13:42,196
I called my friend's cell phone,
I called his.

219
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:44,281
For hours, they didn't answer me.

220
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:48,702
Until they ended up answering
and said they were going to Texas.

221
00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:51,997
I was very angry.

222
00:13:52,581 --> 00:13:55,793
The police could not extradite him
or anything like that.

223
00:13:56,293 --> 00:13:58,796
I had to bring him back to Florida.

224
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:00,214
DECEMBER 30, 2018

225
00:14:00,297 --> 00:14:02,216
3 WEEKS LATER

226
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:08,722
At the end of December,
I get a call from Wade

227
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:10,307
in which he says:

228
00:14:10,391 --> 00:14:12,393
"I'm so sorry.

229
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:14,645
I want to go home."

230
00:14:15,646 --> 00:14:18,107
And all I thought about was revenge.

231
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:21,527
I agreed to pay the bus ticket,

232
00:14:21,610 --> 00:14:23,529
I called the police and said:

233
00:14:23,612 --> 00:14:26,156
"He's going to come back, and you have a warrant.

234
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,410
So if you bring it home,
Come get him?"

235
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:30,953
And they: "Of course."

236
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:35,749
I went to pick him up at the bus station.

237
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:39,420
He told me
who had started using cocaine.

238
00:14:40,671 --> 00:14:43,132
I don't use drugs, I never have.

239
00:14:43,632 --> 00:14:46,635
But we were sitting in the car,

240
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:50,431
and he was
trying to take apart a pen,

241
00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:53,434
because I wanted to use it as a pipe.

242
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:55,477
As it didn't work, it passed.

243
00:14:57,146 --> 00:15:00,149
He tried to break it, put scenes in there.

244
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:02,526
And I said, "You're very aggressive."

245
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:06,655
It was the first time I felt scared of him.

246
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:09,116
I thought he was going to attack me.

247
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:13,078
I took him to my house.

248
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,873
I called the police and they said:

249
00:15:15,956 --> 00:15:18,459
"We need you to convince him to come outside."

250
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:20,210
I went outside.

251
00:15:20,794 --> 00:15:22,922
There were about 15 cars there.

252
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:25,966
There were dogs.
The police had shotguns.

253
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:27,968
And I: "My God! How scary."

254
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:30,763
I called him and said:

255
00:15:30,846 --> 00:15:34,600
"Can you bring the car keys?
I have to go get something.”

256
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:37,561
Then he came out.

257
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:41,398
And the cops pointed at him
shotguns,

258
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:44,902
they knocked him down
and dragged him to the car.

259
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:50,491
After being arrested,
Wade called me from prison,

260
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:53,035
begging him to bail him out.

261
00:15:53,535 --> 00:15:54,870
And I: "No way."

262
00:15:56,121 --> 00:16:00,459
I think I let him stay there
maybe four days.

263
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,837
But it's over
for breaking my defenses,

264
00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:05,881
crying and begging.

265
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:07,841
I paid the bail.

266
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:10,678
But I told him I didn't want him home.

267
00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:13,472
We had to find a solution,
but not at home.

268
00:16:14,431 --> 00:16:18,394
It was then that I suggested that he go
to a rehabilitation clinic.

269
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:20,437
And...

270
00:16:20,938 --> 00:16:23,232
He said, "I have a friend

271
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:26,235
who agreed to take me
to a clinic in the Keys."

272
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:31,699
Wade and I continued talking.

273
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,120
He disappeared for a day or two,
and then I sent a message:

274
00:16:36,203 --> 00:16:37,579
"Hello, stranger."

275
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:40,666
And he said, "I'm sorry.
I've been very busy."

276
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:47,423
But in January,
I moved to the Keys with my sister.

277
00:16:47,923 --> 00:16:52,011
You knew it would take some time
until you see him again.

278
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:56,557
After moving away,
posted photos on Snapchat,

279
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,768
about being in Key Largo.

280
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:02,771
And Wade called me.

281
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:06,775
How it is? When can I go there?

282
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:09,570
Because, listen, just so you know,

283
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:12,448
I'm seeing jobs there,
I sell jobs here.

284
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:15,200
I don't want to get a job here
and stay here.

285
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:19,538
I'll tell you now that I'd rather go there
and stay with you.

286
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:23,959
He asked, "Can I live with you?
Can I stay with you?"

287
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:26,003
And I said, "Yes, of course."

288
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:29,798
Well, obviously,
I also wanted to be with him.

289
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:34,636
Then he said to me:
"Okay, I'll be there in a few hours."

290
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:42,478
Me and Wade had to go to the Keys
meet the person

291
00:17:42,561 --> 00:17:44,480
who was going to help with rehabilitation.

292
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:49,777
But I didn't have any money,
because, throughout the relationship, he spent it on me.

293
00:17:50,861 --> 00:17:54,907
I had ¼ deposit. There was no way.
It was a three-hour journey.

294
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:59,578
At this point, he was in a panic.

295
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:05,292
We discussed,
and I got out of the car at a traffic light.

296
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:09,338
He was driving. I gave up.
Said, "Take the car. I don't care."

297
00:18:10,589 --> 00:18:15,135
I felt like something was wrong
with him and I was scared.

298
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:19,389
That's when things
they started to fall.

299
00:18:20,682 --> 00:18:22,267
So, I started walking.

300
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:24,478
He went around the block,

301
00:18:25,687 --> 00:18:28,357
tried to run me over
with my own car

302
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,318
and told me to go back in.

303
00:18:31,819 --> 00:18:33,570
I was very scared.

304
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:36,406
But I got in the car again.

305
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:38,617
And as soon as I did,

306
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:41,954
he started to strangle me
with both hands.

307
00:18:43,163 --> 00:18:46,667
I was paralyzed.
I didn't know what to do. I was in a panic.

308
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:50,045
The person I thought loved me
was attacking me.

309
00:18:51,421 --> 00:18:53,173
I started grabbing his arms.

310
00:18:53,757 --> 00:18:57,678
And, I don't know where,
he had got himself a razor.

311
00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:02,975
Then he pushed me to the floor,
took the knife,

312
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:07,563
he cut off my sweater and sports bra,

313
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,356
cut it off completely,

314
00:19:09,857 --> 00:19:11,525
he held the knife to my neck

315
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:15,696
and said, "You have to stay there.
If you get up, I'll stab you."

316
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:22,870
He wore my bra and my shirt
to tie my hands

317
00:19:22,953 --> 00:19:25,330
and started driving.

318
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:32,588
Said if I lifted my head,
If I did something, he would kill me.

319
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,300
At one point, he punched me in the face.

320
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:38,677
And he said to me:

321
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:43,473
"Get out of the car, don't look at anything
and get in the back seat."

322
00:19:43,557 --> 00:19:44,474
And I did so.

323
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:47,352
When I got to the back seat,

324
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,398
he ripped my shorts

325
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:53,567
and sexually assaulted me.

326
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:56,445
And when it was over,

327
00:19:56,528 --> 00:19:59,072
pushed me to the floor,

328
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:01,116
behind, between the benches,

329
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:06,622
took the dirty clothes I had

330
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:09,291
and covered me with all these dirty clothes.

331
00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:11,960
I really thought I was going to die.

332
00:20:12,836 --> 00:20:17,799
Afterwards, he met someone
and sold my cell phone for 50 dollars,

333
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,720
while I was in the backseat,
under dirty clothes,

334
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:24,348
tied, gagged and bleeding.

335
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:29,311
Ended up driving for several hours.

336
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:37,069
Around two in the morning, I said:
"If we go to that friendly person,

337
00:20:37,152 --> 00:20:40,489
I shouldn't go
in the front seat with you?

338
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:43,909
If you go after it, it will look strange.”

339
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:48,413
And he: "You're right,
but I want you on the ground until we get there."

340
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:54,503
And, as we approached the place,

341
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:56,296
He let me sit on the bench.

342
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,593
And said, "Don't look at her,
because I don't want you to see your face."

343
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:09,518
Wade arrived at the gas station
around two in the morning.

344
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:14,106
He went to the back seat and grabbed his backpack.

345
00:21:14,606 --> 00:21:16,942
I didn't see anything strange about Kelly.

346
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:19,528
I didn't even see anything strange about him.

347
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,823
And we went to my house.

348
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:31,415
What he told me was that she was just
to do him a favor by taking him there.

349
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:35,002
If I knew
that he had done something to her,

350
00:21:35,085 --> 00:21:39,506
If I had seen her bloody,
wound or something,

351
00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:43,051
I wouldn't have taken him to my house.

352
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:49,891
I was in the Keys with my car,
no cell phone, nothing.

353
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,643
And I just wanted to go home.

354
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:56,940
I went 190 the whole way.

355
00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:59,443
I went to my mother's house.

356
00:21:59,943 --> 00:22:01,778
I woke her up at four in the morning.

357
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:06,325
And she turned on the light, saw my face
and we called the police.

358
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:11,288
The investigation was carried out
of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.

359
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:14,624
And the case against Wade
was handed over to Detective Potter.

360
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,045
FEBRUARY 19, 2019

361
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:21,089
6:35 am
4 HOURS AFTER THE ASSAULT ON KELLY

362
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,008
I'm Detective Potter,

363
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:26,428
of the Special Victims Unit
of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.

364
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:31,641
At one point, in the car,
She said he assaulted her. How did you attack her?

365
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:35,896
He had sex with me without my consent.

366
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:39,274
Explain that to me.
Help me understand what you mean.

367
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,860
He pulled my pants down and…

368
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:44,529
He stuck me without consent.

369
00:22:44,613 --> 00:22:47,282
- What did you put in?
- The penis.

370
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:49,826
- Before tying me up.
- Right.

371
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:51,453
- Did you use a condom?
- No.

372
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:53,372
- Did you say something?
- No.

373
00:22:53,455 --> 00:22:54,539
Right.

374
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,167
Then he hit me in the face.

375
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:01,797
And he bit my cheek and my ear.

376
00:23:03,382 --> 00:23:05,092
Did you think he was going to kill her?

377
00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:06,760
He mentioned this…

378
00:23:06,843 --> 00:23:08,720
Do you think he could kill her?

379
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:11,723
Yes, when you strangled me,
I thought he was going to kill me.

380
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:16,686
And threatened to stab me 30 times
and throw me into a ditch.

381
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:18,772
So I thought I would do it.

382
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:23,985
Quando fui à Polícia, achei

383
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:25,487
that was

384
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:27,781
to do the best

385
00:23:27,864 --> 00:23:30,909
and that there would be justice
for what had happened to me.

386
00:23:31,785 --> 00:23:35,956
I gladly gave them
the information, the DNA and everything else.

387
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:37,040
ANALYSIS REQUEST

388
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:43,088
FEBRUARY 26, 2019

389
00:23:43,171 --> 00:23:44,798
A WEEK AFTER THE AGGRESSION,

390
00:23:44,881 --> 00:23:48,135
THE DETECTIVE ASKED WADE WILSON
TO GO TO AN INTERROGATORY.

391
00:23:48,218 --> 00:23:49,052
HE ACCEPTED.

392
00:23:49,136 --> 00:23:56,143
SHERIFF'S OFFICE
FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY

393
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:58,728
Fix.

394
00:24:01,064 --> 00:24:01,982
How are you, bro?

395
00:24:02,065 --> 00:24:03,358
All right, yes, sir.

396
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:11,658
Some agent involved in the case coerced him,
Threatened or forced him to give a statement?

397
00:24:11,741 --> 00:24:14,286
- No, sir.
- Do you provide them willingly?

398
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:15,745
- Yes sir.
- Right.

399
00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:18,748
- Very good. Now, you know why you're here.
- I know.

400
00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:20,542
- He's a suspect in the case.
- Of course.

401
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:23,253
- She says she did bad things.
- I understand.

402
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:24,921
She is my victim.

403
00:24:25,005 --> 00:24:26,882
- I work for her.
- Right.

404
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:28,884
- You have to understand that.
- I know.

405
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:32,596
But I have to give you the option to tell me:

406
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:36,224
"I didn't kidnap her,
I didn't rape her and I didn't assault her."

407
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,518
- Right.
- And I have to believe you.

408
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:39,686
Right. Thanks.

409
00:24:39,769 --> 00:24:41,313
- Do you see?
- Yes.

410
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:46,485
Having said that, he kidnapped her,
took her to the Keys, to Key Largo,

411
00:24:46,568 --> 00:24:48,028
against her will?
- No.

412
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:50,906
Listen, just let me tell you.

413
00:24:50,989 --> 00:24:53,950
I have to say it:
I didn't do him any harm.

414
00:24:54,034 --> 00:24:56,244
Physically… Nothing, man. I didn't do anything.

415
00:24:56,745 --> 00:24:59,789
Never in mine...
Never since I've known her.

416
00:24:59,873 --> 00:25:01,708
- That's all I need.
- Right.

417
00:25:01,791 --> 00:25:03,710
- You know and I know.
- Right.

418
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:06,338
She said:
"He hits me, does this and that."

419
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:09,424
- E eu digo: "Bem, não sei."
- Right.

420
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:12,594
- I don't doubt you.
- I just want you to know.

421
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:15,305
- He's doing well and he's smart.
- Thanks.

422
00:25:15,388 --> 00:25:16,765
You're on the right path.

423
00:25:16,848 --> 00:25:18,683
But you know why we are here.

424
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:23,563
She wants this to be quick,
because he has ulterior motives.

425
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:28,401
It's bullshit 'cause she's my victim
and I have to dedicate myself to it to the fullest.

426
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:32,280
But I'm not going to arrest the wrong guy.
I'll be damned if I'm going.

427
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,032
That's all I want, man.

428
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:37,327
I just want this to end.
Please, I just need this.

429
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,538
- This here, never.
- Thanks.

430
00:25:39,621 --> 00:25:40,747
Seriously, thank you.

431
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:42,207
None of us would.

432
00:25:42,290 --> 00:25:43,917
Okay, thank you very much, man.

433
00:25:47,754 --> 00:25:51,466
I heard that he ended up collecting
a DNA sample from Wade.

434
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,468
That's it, on both sides. Good.

435
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,512
A few seconds on both sides, yes?

436
00:25:56,763 --> 00:26:01,518
And asked him if he would
a polygraph test.

437
00:26:01,601 --> 00:26:03,228
Wade refused.

438
00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:08,900
And for some reason the detective said:
"There, fine."

439
00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:11,861
If you know someone who needs a coach,
I'm great.

440
00:26:12,862 --> 00:26:14,698
- Right, thank you.
- Very good.

441
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:19,327
He closed the case,

442
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,663
without receiving DNA results,

443
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:23,039
and just said:

444
00:26:23,123 --> 00:26:24,916
"I have no proof.

445
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,167
And…

446
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:28,837
It's one person's word against another.

447
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,380
Não há testemunhas."

448
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,843
I begged him not to close the case.

449
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:38,263
Disse-lhe:
"Você é detetive. You're supposed to protect me."

450
00:26:39,806 --> 00:26:42,851
They taught us from an early age
to go to the police for help.

451
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:45,520
Eu fiz isso e…

452
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:46,605
Eles não fizeram nada.

453
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:51,067
They failed me as a victim
and as a victim of sexual assault.

454
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:57,240
MARÇO DE 2019

455
00:26:58,325 --> 00:27:02,829
Life at my sister's house
estava indo muito bem.

456
00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:06,124
But after a week or so,

457
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:10,920
me and my sister had a fight,
and she told me I had to leave.

458
00:27:11,004 --> 00:27:13,757
And obviously Wade had to go with me.

459
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,509
But, where was I going,

460
00:27:16,593 --> 00:27:18,720
Wade couldn't go with me.

461
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:24,684
Wade told me he had a friend
who I was going to live with.

462
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:29,230
After I moved away,
we talked on the phone,

463
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:31,524
We exchanged messages and all that.

464
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:33,068
But then,

465
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:34,694
I couldn't catch it.

466
00:27:34,778 --> 00:27:36,696
The cell phone was off.

467
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:38,531
The messages did not follow.

468
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:42,827
And I realized he was ignoring me.

469
00:27:48,416 --> 00:27:52,379
An old friend of mine from the zoo
contacted me and said

470
00:27:52,462 --> 00:27:55,340
that a person who is her friend
I was with Wade.

471
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,301
And then he said he was a man.

472
00:27:58,802 --> 00:27:59,803
And I'm like, "What?"

473
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:10,855
I was in Inverness, Florida,
working at a fair,

474
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:15,443
when I noticed a sexy guy
who worked on a pizza truck.

475
00:28:17,612 --> 00:28:21,449
FLORIDA

476
00:28:27,831 --> 00:28:34,754
In 2019, I lived in a motorhome
and worked at a traveling fair.

477
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:38,174
I worked on a bungee jump at the fair.

478
00:28:39,342 --> 00:28:41,511
I saw a new guy

479
00:28:41,594 --> 00:28:43,221
that I had never seen.

480
00:28:43,805 --> 00:28:46,057
And I thought, "Wow! It's pretty cool."

481
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:50,103
I told a friend of mine:
"I think I'll give you my number."

482
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:56,609
So I wrote my number on a napkin
and I left him in the trailer where he worked.

483
00:28:58,653 --> 00:29:00,655
After a few days,

484
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,365
I felt a tap on my shoulder.

485
00:29:02,949 --> 00:29:04,743
He just said, "I'm Wade."

486
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:05,744
And blah-blah-blah.

487
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:08,580
And I'm like, "Okay, cool. I'm Christopher."

488
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:13,251
And he: "I need the number again."
And I'm like, "Okay." So…

489
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:16,004
And I put it on my cell phone.

490
00:29:19,507 --> 00:29:22,093
That night, he sent me a message.

491
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:26,556
And said, "I just discussed
with the girl I'm with.

492
00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:30,518
And she ran with me.
I have nowhere to go."

493
00:29:31,019 --> 00:29:34,564
And I said, "I have a couch.
You can sleep on the couch or something.”

494
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:37,317
And he: "I don't want to sleep on the couch."

495
00:29:37,817 --> 00:29:40,069
And I: "You sleep wherever you want.
Não me importo."

496
00:29:41,738 --> 00:29:44,783
I met Wade on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

497
00:29:44,866 --> 00:29:45,992
E depois,

498
00:29:46,075 --> 00:29:49,746
maybe the following Sunday night,

499
00:29:49,829 --> 00:29:52,081
Wade went to my motorhome.

500
00:29:52,749 --> 00:29:54,459
MY BOYS

501
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:58,129
Wade said he was straight,
when I met him, but I:

502
00:29:58,213 --> 00:29:59,547
“It looks suspicious to me.

503
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:03,885
If you're straight, you won't live with a man,
You don't even sleep in his bed.

504
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:10,475
After maybe a week,
acabamos indo sair.

505
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:13,812
We had a few drinks.

506
00:30:15,438 --> 00:30:18,858
I felt very good.
I think that was the first time.

507
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:20,652
RAINY NIGHTS AND TV WITH HIM

508
00:30:20,735 --> 00:30:23,988
Generally, after the first time
where we slept together,

509
00:30:24,072 --> 00:30:28,409
or it goes well,
or we never hear from the person again.

510
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:29,869
That's how it works.

511
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:32,330
But he still lived with me, so…

512
00:30:38,419 --> 00:30:41,130
Two weeks after he moved in,

513
00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:45,176
asked me if I wanted to make it official
the relationship on Facebook.

514
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:47,929
I was very surprised,

515
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:51,933
because he was very skeptical
as for being with a man.

516
00:30:52,725 --> 00:30:55,895
And it was my first relationship
with a man.

517
00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,984
We liked being together.
We did a lot of things, we had fun.

518
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:04,362
And, after that, it was our last fair.

519
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:08,658
I said:
"I'm going to my mother's house for a while

520
00:31:08,741 --> 00:31:11,995
and park the caravan there,
to spend time with her,

521
00:31:12,078 --> 00:31:14,163
before deciding what I'm going to do."

522
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,248
So…

523
00:31:15,331 --> 00:31:16,583
That's what we did.

524
00:31:18,376 --> 00:31:23,882
One night, me, Wade, my mother
and some friends went to a bar and…

525
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,509
They found it sexy, obviously.

526
00:31:26,593 --> 00:31:30,179
And they thought it was cool,
for he was well spoken.

527
00:31:33,683 --> 00:31:36,936
One night Wade said:
“We should get some drugs.

528
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:40,148
So we had fun,
ficávamos em casa relaxando e…"

529
00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:42,817
And I'm like, "Cool.
Eu ligo para um cara que eu conheço."

530
00:31:44,694 --> 00:31:47,614
E eu não sei o que o cara nos deu,

531
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:50,825
but he ended up giving us
sais de banho ou algo assim.

532
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:55,079
No meio da noite, Wade surtou.

533
00:31:55,663 --> 00:32:00,126
And he just said, "Oh my God!
Eles estão tentando arrombar a casa!" E eu:

534
00:32:00,209 --> 00:32:02,211
"They're nothing. Go to bed."

535
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:06,841
A few hours later,
ele acabou me acordando outra vez.

536
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:09,677
Desta vez, estava ao lado da cama,
with a knife.

537
00:32:11,137 --> 00:32:12,430
Wade said:

538
00:32:12,513 --> 00:32:16,100
"If they break into the house,
I'll cut your throat before I cut their throats."

539
00:32:16,184 --> 00:32:18,102
And I was... That irritated me.

540
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:20,980
So I got out of bed
and we started to fight.

541
00:32:24,233 --> 00:32:27,153
I pushed him and I went crazy,
but he had a knife.

542
00:32:27,236 --> 00:32:29,948
So he ended up cutting me off
the chest and the hand.

543
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:34,410
For four hours, he didn't let me get up,
even though I try.

544
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:37,413
He was strangling me.
It was crazy.

545
00:32:38,665 --> 00:32:42,919
It had sliding glass doors,
in the motorhome, covering the wardrobe.

546
00:32:43,002 --> 00:32:45,797
And he ended up playing me against them,

547
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,425
breaking the glass,
which ended up cutting me more.

548
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:51,469
Then I really started bleeding.

549
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:53,638
And I thought, "Oh my God!"

550
00:32:55,932 --> 00:32:57,725
Afterwards, he ran away from home.

551
00:32:57,809 --> 00:33:01,437
And as soon as he left,
I locked the door.

552
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:05,191
With a racing heart,
It seemed like an eternity.

553
00:33:07,694 --> 00:33:11,030
After he stabbed me,
I didn't call the police.

554
00:33:11,531 --> 00:33:14,701
Unless someone dies,
there is no reason to call.

555
00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:19,497
I ended up taking ibuprofen,
go under the kitchen table

556
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:21,416
and sleep down there.

557
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:36,097
I woke up the next day,
with my sister knocking on my door.

558
00:33:36,597 --> 00:33:39,434
Wade had just finished talking
with my sister.

559
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:47,358
My sister calmed the situation,
He came back covered in blood and...

560
00:33:48,067 --> 00:33:49,068
He apologized.

561
00:33:50,069 --> 00:33:51,654
It seemed sincere.

562
00:33:52,155 --> 00:33:54,741
And he seemed to be sorry.

563
00:33:54,824 --> 00:33:56,701
Therefore, I told him:

564
00:33:57,285 --> 00:34:00,955
"If you want to be with me,
You don’t drink alcohol anymore, you don’t smoke…

565
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,082
Not even cigarettes. I don't want to know."

566
00:34:04,208 --> 00:34:05,543
APRIL 15, 2019

567
00:34:05,626 --> 00:34:07,795
1 MONTH OF DATING

568
00:34:10,131 --> 00:34:13,009
Wade found a job on Indeed

569
00:34:13,092 --> 00:34:17,555
that looked different
and more interesting than what I had.

570
00:34:19,265 --> 00:34:21,976
Two days later,
we moved to Key West.

571
00:34:22,477 --> 00:34:23,895
He had already lived there.

572
00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:28,775
He seemed to be familiar with the place,
but not me.

573
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:32,904
I would say that two weeks later
before we reach the Keys,

574
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:37,533
found out what Wade was saying
to the people we were cousins with.

575
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:44,082
I felt like Wade was ashamed
of our relationship.

576
00:34:44,165 --> 00:34:47,794
And I didn't want to be in a relationship
where I had to hide something.

577
00:34:49,712 --> 00:34:51,964
So I ran with it.

578
00:34:53,049 --> 00:34:55,259
Then I packed my bags and left.

579
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:01,265
I discovered that Wade
I was dating Chris.

580
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:06,229
And I wanted to get in touch with Chris
and warn you about everything.

581
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:11,567
He told me
who had run with Wade recently

582
00:35:11,651 --> 00:35:13,861
and that he had tried to stab him.

583
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:18,157
He told me that things
they had been great, in the beginning,

584
00:35:18,241 --> 00:35:21,369
but then deteriorated
very quickly,

585
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,829
just like in my case.

586
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:28,251
After that, I started contacting
all the people I could find

587
00:35:28,835 --> 00:35:32,338
who had dated Wade
and whom he had done harm.

588
00:35:32,421 --> 00:35:36,425
And I started to tell my story
on Instagram and TikTok.

589
00:35:36,509 --> 00:35:38,177
That's my lip.

590
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:39,679
He opened my lip.

591
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:42,223
Those are the marks from the bandages on his hands.

592
00:35:42,306 --> 00:35:46,477
These are the bottleneck marks.

593
00:35:47,061 --> 00:35:50,690
I posted videos about Wade
and about what he did to me,

594
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:53,901
that other women and other men

595
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:58,072
they shouldn't hide,
should tell their story,

596
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:01,450
and that, if they needed to speak,
they could send a message.

597
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:07,415
Wade's biological father
contacted me.

598
00:36:08,082 --> 00:36:10,168
I had no idea who he was.

599
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:11,919
He told me:

600
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:15,131
"Don't go back to him. He already did it."

601
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:19,343
And hear it from his father

602
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:24,307
just came to prove
that I couldn't go back to that man

603
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:29,061
and partly justify my determination
in helping others turn away from it.

604
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:36,569
JUNE 30, 2019

605
00:36:37,153 --> 00:36:41,782
Several months later
to start posting on social media,

606
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:45,161
I received a message on Instagram
of someone saying

607
00:36:45,244 --> 00:36:48,289
that your friend Mila
started dating Wade

608
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:51,709
and needed help
to take her away from him,

609
00:36:51,792 --> 00:36:54,337
because he was already attacking her.

610
00:36:57,632 --> 00:37:00,843
She sent me photos of her covered up
of bruises,

611
00:37:00,927 --> 00:37:02,845
much worse than me.

612
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:06,057
She gave me her details, and I contacted her.

613
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:10,019
And she told me that from the beginning
that he attacked her.

614
00:37:10,102 --> 00:37:12,813
But she loved him
and I wanted to try to make it work.

615
00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:19,195
Seeing how he could do,
so easily,

616
00:37:19,278 --> 00:37:23,074
what did you do to me,
Chris, Mila and everyone,

617
00:37:23,658 --> 00:37:24,909
it could only get worse.

618
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,664
I begged Mila to leave him.

619
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:32,083
I told him everything he did to me.

620
00:37:33,459 --> 00:37:36,295
And he said to him:
"Please stay away from this man.

621
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:37,630
He's going to kill her."

622
00:37:38,547 --> 00:37:40,549
OCTOBER 7, 2019

623
00:37:40,633 --> 00:37:42,551
3 MONTHS LATER

624
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,682
112. What is the urgency?

625
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:50,768
There's a man grabbing a woman
in the parking lot.

626
00:37:50,851 --> 00:37:53,562
She's screaming "No!" and it's on the floor.

627
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:59,026
There is a man here
who appears to be approaching a woman.

628
00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:01,445
Man-woman fight in parking lot.

629
00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:04,156
We received a call
and there are agents on the way.

630
00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,909
9:12
FLORIDA

631
00:38:06,993 --> 00:38:09,120
POLICE CORPORATE CHAMBER

632
00:38:09,203 --> 00:38:12,623
The Fort Myers Police
headed to Mila's spa,

633
00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:14,458
due to domestic violence,

634
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:18,337
where witnesses said
to Fort Myers agents

635
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:21,007
that Wade Wilson
punched him in the face.

636
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:23,759
- What's his name?
-Wade Wilson.

637
00:38:23,843 --> 00:38:25,720
He just got out of prison.

638
00:38:26,595 --> 00:38:29,098
Last night,
He left me at the bar, at Buddha.

639
00:38:29,181 --> 00:38:31,100
This guy is a nightmare.

640
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,562
Like… She spent the night
in my house, because there was…

641
00:38:34,645 --> 00:38:35,479
MILA'S FRIEND

642
00:38:35,563 --> 00:38:36,939
He took her car.

643
00:38:37,023 --> 00:38:41,610
So she spent the night on my couch,
with him call him:

644
00:38:41,694 --> 00:38:44,613
"You're not at home...!
You're not in...! Liar!"

645
00:38:44,697 --> 00:38:50,119
Me: "Yes, it is, bro. Here, in my bed.
You took his car and didn't give it back."

646
00:38:50,202 --> 00:38:53,581
He took the car and the house keys.
Didn't return anything.

647
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:56,000
And I'm like, "You've got to get rid of this guy."

648
00:38:57,209 --> 00:38:58,461
When they arrived,

649
00:38:58,544 --> 00:39:03,632
Melissa Montanez described the vehicle
that Wade ran.

650
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:09,972
Wade Wilson stopped going to her spa
give him back his car,

651
00:39:10,056 --> 00:39:11,891
that he had taken the night before.

652
00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:17,438
And instead of showing up in her car,
showed up in a car she didn't recognize.

653
00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:22,026
Nissan Versa black, male white,
bare torso, covered in tattoos.

654
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:24,320
It's at Joe's.

655
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:28,240
They end up locating the car
with Wade Wilson

656
00:39:28,324 --> 00:39:32,036
at a Joe's Crab Shack,
parked in the parking lot.

657
00:39:32,119 --> 00:39:35,039
OCTOBER 7, 2019
11:17

658
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:39,418
L-4-1. I will need more units.

659
00:39:40,419 --> 00:39:41,253
10-4.

660
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:50,721
- All good?
- All. And can I?

661
00:39:50,805 --> 00:39:53,891
- What's going on?
- I'm waiting for my girlfriend.

662
00:39:53,974 --> 00:39:55,393
- From your girlfriend?
- Yes.

663
00:39:55,893 --> 00:39:56,769
Right.

664
00:39:56,852 --> 00:39:57,978
No problem.

665
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:01,690
They called to say there was someone
inside a car, so…

666
00:40:01,774 --> 00:40:04,276
No. Do you know Mila Spa? She's coming.

667
00:40:04,777 --> 00:40:05,694
Right. Are you coming now?

668
00:40:05,778 --> 00:40:06,904
Yes, she...

669
00:40:06,987 --> 00:40:08,489
Her spa is there.

670
00:40:09,949 --> 00:40:10,783
Right.

671
00:40:12,701 --> 00:40:16,872
I'm going to need you to get out of the car
and I will stop him.

672
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:18,624
It's not arresting.

673
00:40:19,125 --> 00:40:20,418
It's stopping him.

674
00:40:20,501 --> 00:40:22,044
Why? What happened?

675
00:40:22,128 --> 00:40:23,087
What happened?

676
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,297
Because of this morning's aggression.

677
00:40:25,798 --> 00:40:26,924
There was no aggression.

678
00:40:27,007 --> 00:40:29,093
- There was no aggression?
- No, sir.

679
00:40:29,593 --> 00:40:30,803
Right.

680
00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:34,598
Give me... Let me see the car keys.

681
00:40:34,682 --> 00:40:36,851
I didn't do anything wrong.

682
00:40:37,351 --> 00:40:38,185
Wade…

683
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:40,396
I didn't do anything. Look at me.

684
00:40:40,479 --> 00:40:42,690
Call my girlfriend. I didn't do anything.

685
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:44,859
I miss her. I didn't do anything.

686
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,319
- Right.
- Please?

687
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:49,822
Just wait for my colleague to arrive.

688
00:40:52,074 --> 00:40:54,743
L-4-1. I need more units.

689
00:40:54,827 --> 00:40:56,579
Don't leave there!

690
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:04,420
He's on the run, Fort Myers.

691
00:41:04,503 --> 00:41:06,797
Just passed a stop sign.

692
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:09,008
It goes up to McGregor.

693
00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:12,678
We have the address
where does the guy live or something?

694
00:41:14,054 --> 00:41:17,558
Negative, sir.
We don't even know who the car belongs to.

695
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:19,059
I'll drop it.

696
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:22,897
Improper driving.
It's just an assault charge.

697
00:41:27,776 --> 00:41:30,279
When Wade Wilson fled the scene,

698
00:41:30,362 --> 00:41:34,325
there was a very brief chase,
before being cancelled.

699
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:39,538
Wade Wilson was just being investigated
by Fort Myers Police at the time,

700
00:41:39,622 --> 00:41:41,832
for a misdemeanor of assault.

701
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:46,962
Chase someone,
put the lives of the public at risk,

702
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:50,674
for a minor offense of assault,
It's something no agency would do.

703
00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:52,510
OCTOBER 7, 2019

704
00:41:52,593 --> 00:41:55,638
12:15
1 HOUR OF WADE WILSON'S ESCAPE

705
00:41:57,848 --> 00:42:01,310
We know that Wade was
to Joe's Crab Shack.

706
00:42:01,894 --> 00:42:06,232
Then he left there
and crossed the bridge again,

707
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:09,568
returned to Cape Coral
and went to Gráfica Matteo,

708
00:42:09,652 --> 00:42:12,446
where he approached Joshua Lukitsch,

709
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,198
with a view to getting help

710
00:42:14,281 --> 00:42:16,450
to get out of town quickly.

711
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:22,289
112. What is the urgency?

712
00:42:22,373 --> 00:42:23,624
CAPE CORAL POLICE

713
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:30,881
I have a very unstable man here
in my office.

714
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:33,634
He has tattoos and is bare-chested.

715
00:42:34,134 --> 00:42:37,346
Said he just did harm
to a girl.

716
00:42:37,429 --> 00:42:38,764
Is his name Wade?

717
00:42:39,765 --> 00:42:43,310
Wade, yes. I don't know the surname,
but his name is Wade.

718
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:46,855
He is a cordial friend of a friendly partner and…

719
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:50,442
Did something bad, I suppose,
and you're running away from someone,

720
00:42:50,526 --> 00:42:52,444
but I need to get him out of here.

721
00:42:53,028 --> 00:42:55,114
I just left. I'm here next door.

722
00:42:55,197 --> 00:42:57,449
I don't feel safe with the guy there.

723
00:42:57,533 --> 00:42:58,867
He's not leaving.

724
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:03,914
When the Cape Coral Police went to
with Josh Lukitsch,

725
00:43:05,082 --> 00:43:07,876
agents tried to locate
Wade in the company,

726
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,379
but he had fled the scene on foot.

727
00:43:11,255 --> 00:43:14,341
Cape Coral, at the time,
I didn't even know what happened

728
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:16,927
at Mila Spa of Fort Myers.

729
00:43:17,386 --> 00:43:19,930
There was no exchange of communications
nor data

730
00:43:20,014 --> 00:43:21,515
between the two agencies.

731
00:43:22,516 --> 00:43:27,605
Detectives began investigating
the vehicle that was at the company.

732
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:30,816
It belonged to a young girl
named Kristine Melton.

733
00:43:32,109 --> 00:43:37,781
Then Kristine Melton was flagged,
and began trying to locate her.

734
00:43:38,866 --> 00:43:42,786
They started looking for information
about her driver's license,

735
00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:47,291
determining the emergency contact,
a young woman named Stephanie Johnson.

736
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:49,835
They contacted Ms. Johnson.

737
00:43:49,918 --> 00:43:53,297
Mrs. Johnson told them that,
the night before,

738
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:58,052
she and Kristine Melton
they had met Wade Wilson at Buddha,

739
00:43:58,135 --> 00:44:00,763
a local establishment,
here in Fort Myers.

740
00:44:01,972 --> 00:44:04,933
They were proceeding
to the closing of the Buddha,

741
00:44:05,017 --> 00:44:07,436
it was approximately two in the morning,

742
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:10,230
but they didn't want to stop the party.

743
00:44:11,815 --> 00:44:15,152
So they decided to go
to Mrs. Melton's house.

744
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:19,239
Stephanie had
taking your child to school,

745
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:23,661
for what left Kristine alone
with Wade Wilson at the time.

746
00:44:26,163 --> 00:44:30,834
Cape Coral Police responded to the home.
from Kristine Melton in south Cape Coral.

747
00:44:32,878 --> 00:44:37,007
When authorities arrived,
They knocked on the door and got no answer.

748
00:44:37,091 --> 00:44:39,677
So they ended up breaking down the door.

749
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:43,389
When the agents entered,

750
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:48,352
they found Kristine Melton
wrapped in blankets and a carpet.

751
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:51,188
Killed by strangulation.

752
00:44:53,107 --> 00:44:55,067
Around the same time,

753
00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:58,862
we received a call
of the Fort Myers Police Department.

754
00:45:00,072 --> 00:45:04,952
They were investigating the domestic incident
with Melissa Montanez

755
00:45:05,035 --> 00:45:08,497
and Wade Wilson's escape
in Kristine Melton's car.

756
00:45:09,623 --> 00:45:11,792
The Murder of Kristine Melton

757
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:15,295
and the domestic violence incident
with Melissa Montanez

758
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:16,672
occurred at the border

759
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:18,173
between the two cities.

760
00:45:19,258 --> 00:45:23,011
We were working
in two separate investigations,

761
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:25,556
at the same time and with the same suspect.

762
00:45:26,724 --> 00:45:30,644
Searches were taking place
to find Wade Wilson.

763
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:33,480
CAPE CORAL POLICE

764
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:37,735
In 2019, I worked
with the Cape Coral Police Department as a detective.

765
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:43,949
When we discovered
that Mila was the suspect's girlfriend,

766
00:45:44,992 --> 00:45:46,410
they asked:

767
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:48,078
"Detective Mino,

768
00:45:48,162 --> 00:45:50,164
go to the Fort Myers Police,

769
00:45:50,247 --> 00:45:53,709
talk to Mila
and see what information you can get from it.”

770
00:45:53,792 --> 00:45:57,880
The most important thing was to know the location
of Wade Wilson at the time

771
00:45:58,005 --> 00:45:59,882
and the type of relationship

772
00:45:59,965 --> 00:46:02,760
that Wade Wilson had
with Kristine Melton.

773
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:04,219
OCTOBER 7, 2019
5pm

774
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:06,722
6 HOURS OF WADE WILSON'S ESCAPE

775
00:46:07,765 --> 00:46:09,892
What is Wade to you? How long has it been?

776
00:46:09,975 --> 00:46:11,560
Boyfriend, six months ago.

777
00:46:11,643 --> 00:46:13,228
Boyfriend, six months ago?

778
00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:17,107
Of which he was arrested
three and a half months.

779
00:46:17,691 --> 00:46:20,235
He hit me and I put him here in prison.

780
00:46:20,319 --> 00:46:22,237
He was later charged in West Palm

781
00:46:22,821 --> 00:46:25,449
for a second-degree felony.

782
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:28,452
Theft of goods.

783
00:46:28,952 --> 00:46:32,831
They released him, and I, stupid,
I went there to pick him up five days ago.

784
00:46:33,916 --> 00:46:35,793
There is a group of exes who say:

785
00:46:35,876 --> 00:46:37,586
"Mila, don't go back to him."

786
00:46:37,669 --> 00:46:39,379
- His ex?
- Yes.

787
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:41,256
Kelly is Chris's friend,

788
00:46:41,340 --> 00:46:45,135
and these people are all connected,
shares information.

789
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:48,138
Everyone told me this was going to happen.

790
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:51,266
It blew my mouth open. Hence talking like that.

791
00:46:51,725 --> 00:46:54,228
- I'm sorry.
- It was him this morning. All good.

792
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:57,648
He punched me here with all his strength.

793
00:46:57,731 --> 00:46:59,107
In the face.

794
00:46:59,191 --> 00:47:04,446
When he punched me like that,
I managed to turn around and escape.

795
00:47:05,739 --> 00:47:08,700
That's how I escaped.
Then he left with the car.

796
00:47:10,035 --> 00:47:11,787
- Haven't you seen him since then?
- No.

797
00:47:11,870 --> 00:47:14,540
- Right. Now, let's go back.
- Right.

798
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:18,001
OCTOBER 7, 2019
5pm

799
00:47:20,879 --> 00:47:22,673
OCTOBER 6, 2019
11PM

800
00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:25,133
Last night we went to the Buddha,

801
00:47:25,217 --> 00:47:27,719
around 11pm.

802
00:47:28,220 --> 00:47:29,471
What happened there?

803
00:47:29,555 --> 00:47:31,139
We ordered some beers.

804
00:47:31,223 --> 00:47:34,434
He went around talking to people.
He is very sociable.

805
00:47:34,518 --> 00:47:39,439
And then I sat at the table,
watching the band, and…

806
00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:42,067
We were with friends and so on, and then…

807
00:47:42,985 --> 00:47:47,322
That's when he wanted to go get drugs
to a drug house or something.

808
00:47:47,406 --> 00:47:50,117
And I'm like, "I don't want to go to a drug house."

809
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,953
I think you knew I wasn't going,
took the keys,

810
00:47:53,036 --> 00:47:55,664
and then I see the Hellcat taking off.

811
00:47:55,747 --> 00:47:57,708
- Does he leave in your car?
- Yes.

812
00:47:57,791 --> 00:48:00,669
- Alone?
- No, he doesn't know how to use manual gearshifts.

813
00:48:00,752 --> 00:48:02,588
- There was someone with him.
- Who?

814
00:48:03,171 --> 00:48:05,007
I don't know.

815
00:48:05,507 --> 00:48:07,467
I think the car was full.

816
00:48:08,260 --> 00:48:10,554
And in the morning, he didn't stop calling me.

817
00:48:10,637 --> 00:48:13,307
Said the Hellcat
I had run out of gas.

818
00:48:13,390 --> 00:48:17,394
So I said:
"Okay, let me get the keys."

819
00:48:17,978 --> 00:48:19,855
Said, "Go meet me at the spa."

820
00:48:19,938 --> 00:48:21,815
He showed up in a black car.

821
00:48:21,899 --> 00:48:23,483
I wonder whose it will be.

822
00:48:23,567 --> 00:48:25,819
- Have you ever been in that car?
- No.

823
00:48:25,903 --> 00:48:28,363
- Never been in?
- If he entered, he would die.

824
00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:29,281
Right.

825
00:48:30,198 --> 00:48:32,242
When talking to Mila,

826
00:48:32,326 --> 00:48:37,748
We managed to get Wade Wilson into Buddha
the same night as Mrs. Melton.

827
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:41,376
And we managed to link the accusations

828
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:43,128
of domestic violence

829
00:48:43,211 --> 00:48:45,130
to the homicide investigation.

830
00:48:46,173 --> 00:48:48,216
I'm going to be straight and direct with you.

831
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:49,885
We have a body.

832
00:48:50,886 --> 00:48:51,970
My God! Stop.

833
00:48:52,054 --> 00:48:54,139
- It's a murder case.
- Serious?

834
00:48:55,307 --> 00:48:57,768
Did you see him talk to women last night?

835
00:48:57,851 --> 00:48:59,227
- No.
- No Buddha.

836
00:48:59,728 --> 00:49:02,648
- Did you just talk to random people?
- With types.

837
00:49:02,731 --> 00:49:04,232
- Only?
- You are very sociable.

838
00:49:05,817 --> 00:49:09,029
If I hadn't gone looking for him,
that wouldn't have happened.

839
00:49:09,112 --> 00:49:11,573
Well, you can't blame yourself for that.

840
00:49:15,744 --> 00:49:17,913
I wish I had left it there.

841
00:49:18,872 --> 00:49:22,834
While talking to Mila,
I asked to see her cell phone.

842
00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:25,504
And I noticed that he had called her,

843
00:49:25,587 --> 00:49:29,091
several times,
throughout October 7th,

844
00:49:29,174 --> 00:49:30,968
of different numbers.

845
00:49:34,096 --> 00:49:37,724
When we recovered the black Nissan
by Kristine Melton,

846
00:49:37,808 --> 00:49:40,143
We ended up inspecting the vehicle.

847
00:49:42,270 --> 00:49:45,607
And we ended up finding two cell phones

848
00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:48,652
inside this black Nissan.

849
00:49:49,152 --> 00:49:50,487
When we get them back,

850
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:56,743
we can't just plug them in,
see who they belong to and start searching them.

851
00:49:56,827 --> 00:50:01,373
To access someone's cell phone,
a search warrant is needed.

852
00:50:01,456 --> 00:50:02,916
And that takes time.

853
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,252
And in these cases, time is important.

854
00:50:06,294 --> 00:50:09,131
So I was playing
a game of patience.

855
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:13,260
While we worked
in the case of Kristine Melton,

856
00:50:13,343 --> 00:50:14,386
on the first day,

857
00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:16,513
we received another case.

858
00:50:16,888 --> 00:50:19,558
We received a call
at Cape Coral Police

859
00:50:19,641 --> 00:50:22,894
about a found suitcase
and a possible disappearance.

860
00:50:23,687 --> 00:50:28,692
A police officer,
at a local elementary school,

861
00:50:28,775 --> 00:50:31,278
There was a father who went to school and said:

862
00:50:31,361 --> 00:50:35,657
"I found this bag,
in front of the school, on the sidewalk."

863
00:50:35,741 --> 00:50:38,577
He sees the wallet,
gets the name and address,

864
00:50:39,077 --> 00:50:43,081
and realizes that the owner of the suitcase,
for Diane Ruiz,

865
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:45,375
lives two streets behind the school.

866
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,713
The agent went there to return the bag.

867
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:52,382
And when he arrived at the address,

868
00:50:52,466 --> 00:50:55,177
was informed
that Diane Ruiz was not there.

869
00:50:55,260 --> 00:51:01,600
The son said to our agent:
"My mom must be at work."

870
00:51:02,976 --> 00:51:07,189
CAPE CORAL POLICE
CALL 911

871
00:51:07,272 --> 00:51:08,982
112. What is the urgency?

872
00:51:09,066 --> 00:51:11,818
I want to report a missing person.

873
00:51:11,902 --> 00:51:14,279
Right. What exactly is going on?

874
00:51:14,362 --> 00:51:15,197
Well…

875
00:51:16,490 --> 00:51:21,995
She walked to work
and never got there.

876
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:25,916
The bag was found,
but there is no sign of her.

877
00:51:25,999 --> 00:51:28,210
Right. And what is she to you?

878
00:51:28,293 --> 00:51:30,253
She's my fiancée.

879
00:51:30,754 --> 00:51:32,422
Does she have a cell phone?

880
00:51:32,923 --> 00:51:33,757
Yes.

881
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,552
The cell phone is not in the bag
they found.

882
00:51:37,636 --> 00:51:41,431
In Diane's case,
knowing that the cell phone was turned off

883
00:51:41,515 --> 00:51:43,683
and that she didn't respond to messages,

884
00:51:43,767 --> 00:51:47,354
I really wanted to get it quickly
cell phone records.

885
00:51:47,437 --> 00:51:51,608
When speaking to another detective, she said:
"Do you know, Nick?

886
00:51:51,691 --> 00:51:56,113
What do you think the probability is
of these two cases being related?"

887
00:51:56,196 --> 00:51:57,656
And at the time, I said:

888
00:51:57,739 --> 00:52:00,617
"I don't know,
they are opposite ends of the city.

889
00:52:01,118 --> 00:52:04,830
Nothing, so far, indicates

890
00:52:04,913 --> 00:52:07,958
that Diane Ruiz and Kristine Melton
they knew each other."

891
00:52:08,041 --> 00:52:12,629
And we can't find
no connection between the two women.

892
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:14,381
At the same time,

893
00:52:14,464 --> 00:52:19,136
there was still a large part left
of the Kristine Melton case.

894
00:52:19,219 --> 00:52:21,429
The suspect was still at large.

895
00:52:21,930 --> 00:52:24,683
We knew where it had been
for the last time,

896
00:52:24,766 --> 00:52:26,768
when he went to Gráfica Matteo.

897
00:52:27,978 --> 00:52:33,733
The neighborhood was extensively searched,
and we hoped it was still in the area.

898
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:35,318
OCTOBER 7, 2019
8pm

899
00:52:35,402 --> 00:52:37,821
9 HOURS OF WADE WILSON'S ESCAPE

900
00:52:41,783 --> 00:52:46,288
Suddenly, on that night of October 7th,
we had a great opportunity.

901
00:52:46,788 --> 00:52:49,958
We received a call
from Wade Wilson's father,

902
00:52:51,084 --> 00:52:55,213
giving the location of a house
where he was hiding in Cape Coral

903
00:52:55,297 --> 00:52:58,466
which was right at the end of the street
from Gráfica Matteo.

904
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:00,218
INTERROGATORY OF THE FATHER

905
00:53:00,302 --> 00:53:02,053
I asked, "What's going on?"

906
00:53:02,137 --> 00:53:05,140
And he: "Do you want me to tell you the truth?"

907
00:53:05,223 --> 00:53:06,766
And I said, "Yes."

908
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:09,811
He said:
"Last night, I killed a girl."

909
00:53:10,812 --> 00:53:12,272
And I said, "What?"

910
00:53:12,772 --> 00:53:14,941
And he said, "Two."

911
00:53:15,442 --> 00:53:18,195
And he said, "I strangled the bitch."

912
00:53:18,695 --> 00:53:20,655
Said, "Dad, I'm a murderer.

913
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,075
I'm a killer
and I kill with my hands."

914
00:53:25,202 --> 00:53:27,829
He said: "You'll find the first one, I know it."

915
00:53:27,913 --> 00:53:30,081
He told me in detail what he did.

916
00:53:30,165 --> 00:53:32,167
And laughed.

917
00:53:32,250 --> 00:53:33,710
He thought it was funny.

918
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:38,548
And I asked, "Where are you?"

919
00:53:39,049 --> 00:53:42,302
He said, "I ran away. I found a home."

920
00:53:43,595 --> 00:53:48,558
Wade Wilson broke a house,
nearby, in Northeast Cape Coral.

921
00:53:49,059 --> 00:53:53,396
Fortunately, the couple who lived there
he had returned the day before to Ohio.

922
00:53:55,148 --> 00:53:59,778
Wade Wilson helped himself to some White Claws,
of food and clothing.

923
00:54:00,612 --> 00:54:01,780
During that time,

924
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:05,033
ended up calling his biological father.

925
00:54:05,533 --> 00:54:10,497
We discovered that the father
Didn't have much connection with Wade

926
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:13,750
until he reconnects,
when I was 18,

927
00:54:13,833 --> 00:54:17,420
and start asking their parents for money.

928
00:54:19,464 --> 00:54:23,093
Wade asked him
if he would help him get out of town.

929
00:54:23,593 --> 00:54:27,138
His father gave him to understand that yes,
who would call it Uber,

930
00:54:27,222 --> 00:54:30,433
but I needed to know the address
from where he was.

931
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:32,727
So, at that time,

932
00:54:32,811 --> 00:54:37,565
the father informed the Cape Coral Police
from where Wade Wilson was.

933
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,194
11:10 p.m.

934
00:54:41,278 --> 00:54:43,196
When the task force got there,

935
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,241
they invited Mr. Wilson leaving.

936
00:54:46,324 --> 00:54:49,077
And it was like that
that he was located and arrested.

937
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,704
POLICE CORPORATE CHAMBER

938
00:54:50,787 --> 00:54:53,039
Listen, man, I'm a good guy, okay?

939
00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:54,040
Good. Me too.

940
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:56,167
- Good. So…
- What's going on?

941
00:54:56,251 --> 00:54:59,212
Okay, I'll put some new cuffs on him.

942
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:02,257
- If you act like a fool, you will be beaten.
- Do you think I'm stupid?

943
00:55:02,340 --> 00:55:06,469
You can hit. I don't care.
I can't do anything. No need to threaten.

944
00:55:06,553 --> 00:55:08,763
Turn to the car! Open your legs.

945
00:55:08,847 --> 00:55:10,015
Go fuck yourself!

946
00:55:10,098 --> 00:55:12,058
- Fucking bitch.
- So it is.

947
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:19,399
Pay attention to the knee.

948
00:55:21,693 --> 00:55:26,072
I received a call from his father saying:

949
00:55:26,573 --> 00:55:29,451
"I'm on the phone with the agents.

950
00:55:29,534 --> 00:55:31,745
They have Wade surrounded.

951
00:55:31,828 --> 00:55:33,872
And he killed two women."

952
00:55:35,707 --> 00:55:36,624
This way.

953
00:55:36,708 --> 00:55:39,044
Of course I thought:

954
00:55:39,127 --> 00:55:40,128
"Really?"

955
00:55:40,211 --> 00:55:43,214
But deep down, I wasn't shocked at all.

956
00:55:43,298 --> 00:55:45,800
I knew he was capable of this.

957
00:55:45,884 --> 00:55:47,802
This is the second door.

958
00:55:48,303 --> 00:55:51,097
After Wade Wilson is arrested,

959
00:55:51,181 --> 00:55:53,600
the first interrogation was quick.

960
00:55:53,683 --> 00:55:57,479
Go fuck yourself, white guy!
How about that? See you in court.

961
00:55:57,562 --> 00:56:00,065
Didn't admit
who knew Kristine Melton,

962
00:56:00,148 --> 00:56:05,487
didn't admit it had anything to do with
with the murder of Kristine Melton.

963
00:56:07,197 --> 00:56:11,284
The next morning an email arrived
from Diane's cell phone carrier.

964
00:56:12,077 --> 00:56:14,913
So, with the cell phone records,

965
00:56:14,996 --> 00:56:20,919
I started to see the latest calls,
or messages, to and from her cell phone.

966
00:56:21,503 --> 00:56:26,508
And when I saw the phone number,
My heart immediately fell at my feet,

967
00:56:26,591 --> 00:56:30,261
because I recognized the number
who was being marked,

968
00:56:30,345 --> 00:56:32,680
which was Wade Wilson's girlfriend.

969
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:39,062
Wade Wilson was calling his girlfriend,
to Mila, from Diane Ruiz's cell phone.

970
00:56:39,562 --> 00:56:41,731
It was then that I found out

971
00:56:41,815 --> 00:56:45,819
that the case of Kristine Melton
and Diane Ruiz's were linked.

972
00:56:46,403 --> 00:56:48,488
So my strategy changed.

973
00:56:49,072 --> 00:56:54,244
I went from a missing person case
to that of a possible homicide.

974
00:56:57,497 --> 00:57:00,208
A painful night
for a Florida family.

975
00:57:00,291 --> 00:57:01,251
A disappearance.

976
00:57:01,334 --> 00:57:03,920
Diane Ruiz disappeared yesterday morning,

977
00:57:04,003 --> 00:57:06,506
on the way to work,
and the bag was found nearby.

978
00:57:06,589 --> 00:57:07,841
This torture is…

979
00:57:07,924 --> 00:57:10,218
We're just sitting here waiting.

980
00:57:10,301 --> 00:57:13,388
It's killing us.
It's really killing us.

981
00:57:13,471 --> 00:57:16,349
Brandon Cuellar and family
are still shaken

982
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:18,518
with the sudden disappearance of his mother.

983
00:57:18,601 --> 00:57:20,895
I want her back. It's my mother.

984
00:57:22,939 --> 00:57:24,774
After obtaining the records,

985
00:57:24,858 --> 00:57:30,447
I had the opportunity to go to primary school
see surveillance footage

986
00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:32,991
from the moment the suitcase was left there.

987
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,744
And I saw Kristine Melton's car,

988
00:57:36,828 --> 00:57:40,999
in the same location
where Diane Ruiz's purse was found.

989
00:57:41,499 --> 00:57:45,879
I also got the GPS coordinates
and longitude/latitude

990
00:57:45,962 --> 00:57:50,175
from all locations
where her cell phone went.

991
00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:54,429
Diane's cell phone
I had been around a lot in the neighborhood.

992
00:57:54,512 --> 00:57:55,472
WADE'S ROUTE

993
00:57:55,555 --> 00:57:59,809
And then off to the west,
by Pine Island Road.

994
00:58:00,810 --> 00:58:05,732
The Pine Island Road
there are many empty fields,

995
00:58:05,857 --> 00:58:09,402
many trees, bushes,
wooded areas,

996
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:12,739
where you can hide a body,
if you want.

997
00:58:14,908 --> 00:58:20,788
I thought Diane Ruiz's body
it was somewhere on Pine Island Road.

998
00:58:21,372 --> 00:58:24,250
We had dogs looking for her,

999
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:28,588
We had jeeps, side by side,
looking for her,

1000
00:58:28,671 --> 00:58:32,592
patrol cars,
anything and everything, looking for her.

1001
00:58:33,092 --> 00:58:36,679
OCTOBER 8-10, 2019

1002
00:58:36,763 --> 00:58:39,474
3 DAYS AFTER DIANE RUIZ DISAPPEARED

1003
00:58:41,226 --> 00:58:44,354
In space, I would say,
two and a half days of searching,

1004
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,149
Wade Wilson's father
had another conversation with him,

1005
00:58:48,233 --> 00:58:50,652
at the Lee County Jail.

1006
00:58:52,445 --> 00:58:53,863
LEE COUNTY PRISON

1007
00:58:53,947 --> 00:58:58,660
WADE WILSON'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER

1008
00:58:59,827 --> 00:59:01,287
- How is it, dad?
- How it is?

1009
00:59:01,371 --> 00:59:03,998
- All good. How are you?
- I am fine. And you?

1010
00:59:04,082 --> 00:59:06,834
Well, not so much.
I already know how they found me.

1011
00:59:06,918 --> 00:59:09,462
- What?
- They said it was through you.

1012
00:59:09,546 --> 00:59:11,714
- What did they say?
- That you called them.

1013
00:59:11,798 --> 00:59:13,216
- Yes?
- Did you call?

1014
00:59:13,299 --> 00:59:14,884
- What do you think?
- Yes.

1015
00:59:14,968 --> 00:59:16,427
- Yes?
- Yes.

1016
00:59:16,511 --> 00:59:17,345
Okay.

1017
00:59:17,428 --> 00:59:19,764
- And how do you feel about that?
- Badly.

1018
00:59:19,847 --> 00:59:20,682
That's right.

1019
00:59:20,765 --> 00:59:22,058
Me too.

1020
00:59:22,141 --> 00:59:22,976
So it is.

1021
00:59:23,643 --> 00:59:25,645
- And you understand?
- No.

1022
00:59:25,728 --> 00:59:28,731
- Why?
- Why did you want me here? You knew what it was like.

1023
00:59:28,815 --> 00:59:30,441
Wade, son, listen.

1024
00:59:30,525 --> 00:59:33,152
I love you more than anything in this world.

1025
00:59:33,236 --> 00:59:34,070
Right.

1026
00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:37,198
And I'm going to be honest with you, son.

1027
00:59:38,157 --> 00:59:38,992
You...

1028
00:59:40,326 --> 00:59:41,995
You…

1029
00:59:42,078 --> 00:59:44,414
- You broke my heart.
- Right.

1030
00:59:44,497 --> 00:59:49,544
I don't say that
to make you feel like shit.

1031
00:59:49,627 --> 00:59:54,882
But I say this because you were born of me.

1032
00:59:54,966 --> 00:59:55,800
Right.

1033
00:59:55,883 --> 01:00:01,306
And the pain you caused, son,
I can't even describe it.

1034
01:00:01,389 --> 01:00:02,223
Right.

1035
01:00:02,307 --> 01:00:04,809
It is something that will never be forgotten.

1036
01:00:06,185 --> 01:00:08,104
- But listen, son.
- Right.

1037
01:00:08,187 --> 01:00:09,689
We have to fix this.

1038
01:00:09,772 --> 01:00:11,190
How do you want me to fix it?

1039
01:00:11,274 --> 01:00:15,778
I'm here to help you fix it
and I'll tell you why we have to fix it.

1040
01:00:15,862 --> 01:00:17,071
There are three reasons.

1041
01:00:18,406 --> 01:00:22,410
- Right.
- A 15-year-old boy misses his mother.

1042
01:00:22,493 --> 01:00:25,330
- Right.
- You're about to lose your mind,

1043
01:00:25,413 --> 01:00:28,416
because you are waiting
let the mother enter through that door.

1044
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:30,585
- Right.
- We have to fix this.

1045
01:00:30,668 --> 01:00:34,255
- The groom is waiting for his wife…
- Right.

1046
01:00:34,339 --> 01:00:37,216
- Let her come back. We have to fix this.
- Right.

1047
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:41,763
And the only way, Wade,
to show some mercy

1048
01:00:42,263 --> 01:00:44,182
It's fixing this shit, yeah?

1049
01:00:44,265 --> 01:00:46,934
Everyone in the state thinks
that you are a monster.

1050
01:00:47,018 --> 01:00:48,353
- Yes I know.
- Right?

1051
01:00:48,436 --> 01:00:52,106
- And yes, you did monstrous things.
- Right.

1052
01:00:52,190 --> 01:00:57,111
But you know what else? Can you show them
that you have remorse and have redeemed yourself, son.

1053
01:00:57,195 --> 01:00:59,906
- Did they report the story in the news and everything?
- Sim.

1054
01:00:59,989 --> 01:01:00,823
- Sim?
- Sim.

1055
01:01:01,658 --> 01:01:03,451
What do you want me to do? When?

1056
01:01:03,534 --> 01:01:06,120
We have to…

1057
01:01:06,204 --> 01:01:10,041
We have to send the lady home,
back to your family, son.

1058
01:01:10,124 --> 01:01:11,459
- It's okay, dad.
- Yes?

1059
01:01:11,542 --> 01:01:16,005
She has to go to her family,
no matter how painful it is for them.

1060
01:01:16,089 --> 01:01:19,258
- Right.
- Not knowing is harder for them.

1061
01:01:19,342 --> 01:01:20,176
Right.

1062
01:01:20,259 --> 01:01:22,762
And that kid has been in the news…

1063
01:01:22,845 --> 01:01:24,722
- Right.
- … crying for her mother.

1064
01:01:24,806 --> 01:01:27,600
- Are you joking?
- No, I'm not joking, Wade.

1065
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,936
- It's heartbreaking.
- Right.

1066
01:01:30,019 --> 01:01:34,315
Yes? And that's what I don't understand.
And I don't... Anyway.

1067
01:01:34,399 --> 01:01:37,026
Was it just a random scene as hell?

1068
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:39,028
- Yes.
- Yes, I knew.

1069
01:01:39,112 --> 01:01:40,655
- I knew it was.
- Yes.

1070
01:01:40,738 --> 01:01:44,659
- You simply lost your mind.
- Yes.

1071
01:01:44,742 --> 01:01:46,035
- It was random.
- I...

1072
01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:51,457
And my biggest fear was
that you would lose it and give you a bad time.

1073
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:53,751
And I was having it, that's what I was doing.

1074
01:01:53,835 --> 01:01:56,045
- I know you were going that way.
- Well, I would.

1075
01:01:56,129 --> 01:01:57,797
- I was going to do more.
- I know.

1076
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,341
How did you know? How crazy!

1077
01:02:00,425 --> 01:02:02,093
- You are my son.
- You got it right!

1078
01:02:02,176 --> 01:02:04,512
- I knew what you were going to do.
- Yes, that’s why…

1079
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:07,849
After the first one, he said:
"Second. Then third."

1080
01:02:07,932 --> 01:02:08,766
- Exactly.
- Yes.

1081
01:02:08,850 --> 01:02:11,644
Yes, you think I didn't know?
And you know what's crazy?

1082
01:02:11,728 --> 01:02:13,688
- What?
- The house where you went…

1083
01:02:13,771 --> 01:02:15,898
- Yes.
- They had just left.

1084
01:02:16,399 --> 01:02:17,817
- No!
- Just left.

1085
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:19,235
- To go out?
- To Ohio.

1086
01:02:19,318 --> 01:02:20,987
- Are you enjoying yourself?
- I'm not.

1087
01:02:21,070 --> 01:02:24,031
- I believe.
- Otherwise, what would have happened?

1088
01:02:24,115 --> 01:02:25,366
- Everyone.
- Exactly.

1089
01:02:25,450 --> 01:02:26,701
- Everyone.
- Right.

1090
01:02:29,620 --> 01:02:35,918
October 10th was already the third day
where we were looking for Diane Ruiz.

1091
01:02:37,253 --> 01:02:40,047
All agents in our department

1092
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:43,176
the searches continued
in the Pine Island corridor.

1093
01:02:45,219 --> 01:02:50,057
Two of our agents
had taken a break from searching

1094
01:02:50,141 --> 01:02:53,936
and they were having lunch in a vacant field.

1095
01:02:56,981 --> 01:02:58,316
While they were having lunch,

1096
01:02:58,399 --> 01:03:05,198
one of our agents noticed
on a buzzard in the sky, in the area.

1097
01:03:08,284 --> 01:03:13,122
The eagle ended up landing
in a vacant field, next to some bushes.

1098
01:03:14,248 --> 01:03:17,543
These eagles are attracted
by decomposing flesh.

1099
01:03:19,754 --> 01:03:24,675
So the agent went into the bushes
of the wasteland

1100
01:03:26,886 --> 01:03:29,889
and that's where he found the body
by Diane Ruiz.

1101
01:03:36,646 --> 01:03:39,273
When the coroner arrived at the scene,

1102
01:03:39,857 --> 01:03:43,069
Diane Ruiz had some marks on her body

1103
01:03:43,653 --> 01:03:45,822
that looked like tire tracks.

1104
01:03:45,905 --> 01:03:47,156
However,

1105
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,702
It was very difficult to see with the naked eye
the cause of death.

1106
01:03:53,204 --> 01:03:57,291
While we were there,
I get a call saying:

1107
01:03:57,375 --> 01:03:59,460
"Wade Wilson wants to talk to you."

1108
01:04:02,004 --> 01:04:02,839
How's that going?

1109
01:04:02,922 --> 01:04:04,006
Well done, Wade.

1110
01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:05,675
It may seem silly.

1111
01:04:05,758 --> 01:04:09,262
Give me fries and a burger,
and I'll take you wherever I want.

1112
01:04:09,345 --> 01:04:11,472
- Potatoes and a hamburger?
- Just that.

1113
01:04:12,348 --> 01:04:15,309
He wanted to exchange a body
for a meal.

1114
01:04:16,727 --> 01:04:20,314
But Wade Wilson had no idea

1115
01:04:20,398 --> 01:04:23,484
that we had just found
the body of Diane Ruiz.

1116
01:04:24,068 --> 01:04:26,696
Do you want me to tell you what happened? The truth?

1117
01:04:26,779 --> 01:04:28,906
- Yes.
- Of course. He is well.

1118
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:32,159
The truth is…

1119
01:04:32,243 --> 01:04:34,287
I was driving at random.

1120
01:04:34,787 --> 01:04:36,831
I saw her walking on the side of the road.

1121
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:39,041
I rolled down the window and:

1122
01:04:39,125 --> 01:04:42,253
"Do you know where the high school is?
Can you show me?"

1123
01:04:42,753 --> 01:04:44,046
She got into the car.

1124
01:04:44,547 --> 01:04:46,173
- Seriously?
- That was enough.

1125
01:04:46,257 --> 01:04:47,800
- Right.
- For her to come in.

1126
01:04:47,884 --> 01:04:50,052
And, from there, we went to school.

1127
01:04:50,136 --> 01:04:53,639
I was going to leave her there,
but in my mind I knew it wasn't.

1128
01:04:54,515 --> 01:04:56,767
Then, she really wanted to get out of the car.

1129
01:04:56,851 --> 01:04:58,060
And I saw that I was…

1130
01:04:58,144 --> 01:05:00,563
I feel fear, I'm like lions.

1131
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:01,939
And I say, "You're the hunted."

1132
01:05:02,023 --> 01:05:03,357
I could feel it.

1133
01:05:04,483 --> 01:05:07,278
She wanted to leave, and you could see it.

1134
01:05:07,361 --> 01:05:10,197
So I thought about killing her quickly.

1135
01:05:15,036 --> 01:05:18,205
I grabbed her by the neck and strangled her.

1136
01:05:18,706 --> 01:05:20,333
She was a warrior, without a doubt.

1137
01:05:20,416 --> 01:05:21,918
I admit yes. And…

1138
01:05:22,919 --> 01:05:26,631
I took her where
I will show you that it is and…

1139
01:05:26,714 --> 01:05:28,007
She was still alive.

1140
01:05:28,090 --> 01:05:30,009
I pushed her out of the car.

1141
01:05:30,092 --> 01:05:33,679
She tried to get up,
and I passed him with the car,

1142
01:05:33,763 --> 01:05:35,848
until she stops moving.

1143
01:05:39,268 --> 01:05:40,645
And then I left.

1144
01:05:44,106 --> 01:05:46,776
When talking to him,
he had very dark eyes.

1145
01:05:48,319 --> 01:05:50,821
It was almost as if there was nothing there.

1146
01:05:50,905 --> 01:05:52,657
There were no remorse.

1147
01:05:52,740 --> 01:05:54,325
There was no empathy.

1148
01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:57,662
That's what I do with women.

1149
01:05:57,745 --> 01:05:59,705
I use my charm, my beauty.

1150
01:05:59,789 --> 01:06:01,499
That's what I did with the first one.

1151
01:06:01,582 --> 01:06:03,584
That's how I took her to bed.

1152
01:06:03,668 --> 01:06:06,629
And look what happened to him:
the same story as this one.

1153
01:06:07,129 --> 01:06:08,839
I only used my appearance.

1154
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:13,094
Well, since you mentioned her,
let me ask you about the first one.

1155
01:06:13,177 --> 01:06:14,804
How did it all happen?

1156
01:06:15,721 --> 01:06:17,640
I met her in a bar.

1157
01:06:17,723 --> 01:06:20,309
- Right.
- I approached her and picked her up.

1158
01:06:20,393 --> 01:06:21,519
Just like that?

1159
01:06:21,602 --> 01:06:23,229
It's simple. Always.

1160
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:27,108
Me, the girl and the friend
we went back to her house,

1161
01:06:27,191 --> 01:06:28,859
where she was found.

1162
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,154
After 20 minutes,
her friend left.

1163
01:06:33,072 --> 01:06:33,906
Right.

1164
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:36,075
And then I killed her.

1165
01:06:36,575 --> 01:06:37,576
How did you kill her?

1166
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:38,995
By strangulation.

1167
01:06:41,122 --> 01:06:42,540
And then where did it go?

1168
01:06:43,124 --> 01:06:44,375
I got into the car.

1169
01:06:44,458 --> 01:06:46,293
First, I went to my girlfriend.

1170
01:06:46,377 --> 01:06:47,712
It didn't work, right?

1171
01:06:47,795 --> 01:06:51,716
And I thought, "You know what?
I already did this once. I'll do it again."

1172
01:06:51,799 --> 01:06:55,386
I was driving around there at random
and I saw the girl walking.

1173
01:06:55,886 --> 01:06:57,555
And I thought, "That's the one."

1174
01:07:00,099 --> 01:07:04,437
I get so crazy, when I'm high,
that I am overcome with anger.

1175
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,313
I don't think straight.

1176
01:07:06,397 --> 01:07:07,356
And simply…

1177
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,984
You already know that murder comes to mind.

1178
01:07:10,067 --> 01:07:11,652
Murder, murder.

1179
01:07:11,736 --> 01:07:13,362
Kill, kill, kill.

1180
01:07:14,405 --> 01:07:17,491
You're going to take me out to eat,
to show where the body is?

1181
01:07:17,575 --> 01:07:19,577
- Yes.
- Will you give me fries?

1182
01:07:19,660 --> 01:07:21,871
- Yes.
- Let's go and see the body, come on.

1183
01:07:21,954 --> 01:07:22,788
It will get dark.

1184
01:07:22,872 --> 01:07:24,582
- Come on, man.
- I am hungry.

1185
01:07:25,958 --> 01:07:30,963
As we had already met Diane,
there was no reason to get him out of prison.

1186
01:07:32,256 --> 01:07:35,885
Cape Coral Police confirmed
which considers Wade Wilson,

1187
01:07:35,968 --> 01:07:38,387
who is detained, here yesterday in court,

1188
01:07:38,471 --> 01:07:41,307
is a suspect in the deaths of these two women.

1189
01:07:42,641 --> 01:07:47,438
I started watching the news
and my heart fell at my feet.

1190
01:07:47,521 --> 01:07:51,567
"It must have been someone else.
It couldn't have been him.

1191
01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:53,819
He's not that kind of person.

1192
01:07:53,903 --> 01:07:58,365
Right, he cheats,
But he's not a murderer."

1193
01:07:58,449 --> 01:08:00,076
… considers Wade Wilson…

1194
01:08:00,159 --> 01:08:03,996
I turn on the news
and suddenly Wade appears.

1195
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,122
Like…

1196
01:08:05,206 --> 01:08:06,832
Lee County, homicide.

1197
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:08,959
I thought, "Oh my God!"

1198
01:08:10,377 --> 01:08:14,465
But the night Wade stabbed me
It could have ended differently.

1199
01:08:14,548 --> 01:08:15,966
I could have died.

1200
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:20,930
Months later,

1201
01:08:21,013 --> 01:08:23,516
we obtained DNA confirmation

1202
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:25,476
so much of Diane Ruiz

1203
01:08:25,559 --> 01:08:26,977
like Kristine Melton.

1204
01:08:27,478 --> 01:08:30,731
Wade Wilson's DNA was collected
at crime scenes.

1205
01:08:32,066 --> 01:08:37,905
And we were able to confirm that Wade Wilson
sexually assaulted Diane Ruiz.

1206
01:08:38,656 --> 01:08:40,282
After killing her.

1207
01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:42,827
NOVEMBER 19, 2019

1208
01:08:42,910 --> 01:08:46,831
The grand jury indicted Wade Wilson
of two first-degree murders,

1209
01:08:46,914 --> 01:08:50,209
for the death of Ruiz and another woman,
Kristine Melton.

1210
01:08:50,292 --> 01:08:52,837
Both dead,
just a few hours apart,

1211
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,713
in Cape Coral last month.

1212
01:08:54,797 --> 01:08:59,051
These two women
were harassed by the defendant,

1213
01:08:59,135 --> 01:09:03,139
homicides having affected families
and shook our community.

1214
01:09:04,348 --> 01:09:09,186
The grand jury indictment comes out,
and the public has a lot of interest in the case.

1215
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:14,567
Media attention increased,
over time.

1216
01:09:14,650 --> 01:09:19,321
We are not used to this,
to this type of random violence.

1217
01:09:20,614 --> 01:09:25,536
Some people made a strange call
between Cape Coral's Wade Wilson

1218
01:09:25,619 --> 01:09:30,207
and antihero Wade Wilson,
aka Deadpool.

1219
01:09:30,708 --> 01:09:33,335
There were those who called him
the Deadpool Killer,

1220
01:09:33,419 --> 01:09:37,464
using this in headlines,
saying that Deadpool was going to trial.

1221
01:09:37,548 --> 01:09:38,883
Every time you go to court,

1222
01:09:38,966 --> 01:09:41,635
he appeared in the news,
and saw his face.

1223
01:09:41,719 --> 01:09:46,557
Then women began to write to him,
to contact him.

1224
01:09:47,349 --> 01:09:51,145
I asked for the records
from visits to Wade Wilson.

1225
01:09:51,228 --> 01:09:54,607
There were hundreds of booth calls
made by women.

1226
01:09:56,358 --> 01:09:58,485
Thank you for using GTL.

1227
01:09:59,486 --> 01:10:00,487
Hello my love.

1228
01:10:01,197 --> 01:10:02,031
Hello my love.

1229
01:10:05,868 --> 01:10:07,077
Everything in order, love?

1230
01:10:07,161 --> 01:10:09,496
- My thighs, sweetie.
- Hey love.

1231
01:10:12,041 --> 01:10:14,043
Baby, what are you going to wear tomorrow?

1232
01:10:14,126 --> 01:10:15,336
Maybe nothing.

1233
01:10:18,672 --> 01:10:20,633
Well, maybe that's a good idea.

1234
01:10:22,927 --> 01:10:25,054
During the period until the trial,

1235
01:10:25,137 --> 01:10:29,183
Wade Wilson changed his appearance,
while in prison,

1236
01:10:29,266 --> 01:10:33,354
including adding tattoos,
on the face and head,

1237
01:10:33,437 --> 01:10:34,813
like a swastika.

1238
01:10:35,397 --> 01:10:37,942
This gets media attention, of course.

1239
01:10:38,025 --> 01:10:40,361
And it caused a sensation in the media.

1240
01:10:40,444 --> 01:10:41,528
-Wade...
- …Wilson.

1241
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:42,821
-Wade...
- …Wilson.

1242
01:10:42,905 --> 01:10:46,200
Wade Wilson is getting
many messages from outside.

1243
01:10:46,283 --> 01:10:51,580
3903 messages,
since June 12 of this year.

1244
01:10:57,086 --> 01:10:58,003
He vibrated.

1245
01:10:58,087 --> 01:10:59,088
I loved it.

1246
01:10:59,588 --> 01:11:04,093
Every time I went to court,
He looked back and saw who was going there to see him.

1247
01:11:06,011 --> 01:11:09,473
Gained followers from all over the world

1248
01:11:09,556 --> 01:11:13,477
that started
doing email campaigns for him

1249
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,273
and they created GoFundMe pages for him.

1250
01:11:17,773 --> 01:11:20,067
And he started collecting money,

1251
01:11:20,651 --> 01:11:24,029
basically,
for brutally killing two young women.

1252
01:11:24,947 --> 01:11:26,865
Do you know? They say…

1253
01:11:26,949 --> 01:11:28,659
- They say…
- What?

1254
01:11:28,742 --> 01:11:32,997
I am the most requested prisoner in the world,
at this moment.

1255
01:11:34,206 --> 01:11:35,040
Seriously?

1256
01:11:35,666 --> 01:11:39,336
The attention was immensely disturbing to families.

1257
01:11:39,420 --> 01:11:42,631
Just thinking that women
if they could feel attracted

1258
01:11:42,715 --> 01:11:46,093
and pay attention to a man
who was actually a monster

1259
01:11:46,677 --> 01:11:48,846
and who had destroyed their lives,

1260
01:11:48,929 --> 01:11:51,640
It was something that was very difficult to deal with.

1261
01:11:52,141 --> 01:11:53,642
NOVEMBER 19, 2019

1262
01:11:55,769 --> 01:11:58,272
JUNE 10, 2024
BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL

1263
01:11:59,982 --> 01:12:02,943
I think one thing
that stands out in this case

1264
01:12:03,027 --> 01:12:08,991
is that justice cannot be done
no people willing to testify.

1265
01:12:09,074 --> 01:12:11,869
- Do you know someone named Wade Wilson?
- I know.

1266
01:12:11,952 --> 01:12:14,997
- What are you Wade Wilson?
- He's my son.

1267
01:12:15,497 --> 01:12:19,251
How old was he?
When did you know you were going to be a father?

1268
01:12:19,335 --> 01:12:20,836
About 14 or 15 years old.

1269
01:12:20,919 --> 01:12:22,504
How old was the mother?

1270
01:12:22,588 --> 01:12:24,131
A year less than me.

1271
01:12:24,631 --> 01:12:26,633
Was he given up for adoption?

1272
01:12:26,717 --> 01:12:27,718
Yes, ma'am.

1273
01:12:28,594 --> 01:12:32,222
Kristine Melton was my best friend
and my cousin,

1274
01:12:32,723 --> 01:12:35,059
until October 7, 2019.

1275
01:12:35,142 --> 01:12:38,771
Did you have any contact with her?
after leaving for work?

1276
01:12:39,271 --> 01:12:41,273
A short text message.

1277
01:12:42,816 --> 01:12:44,234
She…

1278
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:48,947
She…

1279
01:12:53,786 --> 01:12:54,787
She…

1280
01:12:56,121 --> 01:12:58,791
She found
that I hadn't given him a kiss.

1281
01:13:00,334 --> 01:13:01,335
And did it?

1282
01:13:01,835 --> 01:13:02,836
Of course.

1283
01:13:06,006 --> 01:13:09,885
It was certainly a collective effort
of people from the community

1284
01:13:09,968 --> 01:13:13,013
willing to testify
against someone so dangerous.

1285
01:13:13,097 --> 01:13:15,933
And that was why
that we get what we get.

1286
01:13:16,016 --> 01:13:21,063
We, the jury, find the defendant guilty
of 1st degree murder.

1287
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:26,777
There are certain people who, I must say,
They are the perfect example of the death penalty.

1288
01:13:26,860 --> 01:13:29,780
And Wade Wilson is one of them.

1289
01:13:29,863 --> 01:13:31,240
Therefore, our objective,

1290
01:13:31,323 --> 01:13:35,369
from the moment we knew
what he had done with the two women,

1291
01:13:35,452 --> 01:13:38,330
was for him to receive
a death sentence.

1292
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:41,834
He killed for the sake of killing.

1293
01:13:42,418 --> 01:13:44,920
It was what I wanted,
and that's why he did it.

1294
01:13:45,003 --> 01:13:47,881
I don't think there was
any shred of remorse.

1295
01:13:47,965 --> 01:13:51,176
Due to all these circumstances,
it is justified that the defendant,

1296
01:13:51,260 --> 01:13:52,386
Wade Steven Wilson,

1297
01:13:52,469 --> 01:13:55,597
be sentenced to death
for each murder charge.

1298
01:13:55,681 --> 01:13:58,767
Count 1:
1st degree murder of Kristine Melton.

1299
01:13:58,851 --> 01:14:00,811
The defendant is sentenced to death.

1300
01:14:00,894 --> 01:14:04,106
Count 4:
1st degree murder of Diane Ruiz.

1301
01:14:04,189 --> 01:14:06,400
The defendant is sentenced to death.

1302
01:14:09,361 --> 01:14:11,947
When I knew
that he was sentenced to death,

1303
01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:16,952
I just thought that if the Palm Beach sheriffs
had done their job,

1304
01:14:17,035 --> 01:14:20,164
these two women,
they would probably still be here.

1305
01:14:20,247 --> 01:14:21,665
PERSONAL COMPLAINT

1306
01:14:21,748 --> 01:14:27,171
So I filed a complaint
against the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office

1307
01:14:27,254 --> 01:14:30,382
for not investigating thoroughly
my sexual assault.

1308
01:14:31,633 --> 01:14:35,429
The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office
opened an internal investigation.

1309
01:14:35,512 --> 01:14:36,722
At the end of the report,

1310
01:14:36,805 --> 01:14:40,851
concluded that Detective Potter
did not carry out an in-depth investigation

1311
01:14:40,934 --> 01:14:43,520
in the case of sexual assault
to Kelly Matthews.

1312
01:14:44,021 --> 01:14:46,648
The detective should stay
three weeks suspended,

1313
01:14:46,732 --> 01:14:49,568
but ended up only staying two weeks.

1314
01:14:50,068 --> 01:14:52,905
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY

1315
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:55,741
REFUSED TO BE INTERVIEWED
ABOUT KELLY'S CASE.

1316
01:14:57,075 --> 01:15:02,372
IN JANUARY 2026, DETECTIVE POTTER
HE STILL WORKED IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

1317
01:15:03,332 --> 01:15:06,293
NO CHARGES WERE FILED
AGAINST WADE WILSON

1318
01:15:06,376 --> 01:15:09,838
ASSOCIATED WITH RELATED CRIMES
WITH CHRISTOPHER LANE.

1319
01:15:10,422 --> 01:15:14,051
Wade destroyed my confidence
in the dating world,

1320
01:15:14,551 --> 01:15:16,678
but it didn't destroy my life.

1321
01:15:16,762 --> 01:15:18,555
I have a great life.

1322
01:15:19,056 --> 01:15:25,479
Aggression is such a filthy thing
that no one wants to talk about it,

1323
01:15:25,562 --> 01:15:30,692
and I refused to be one of those people.

1324
01:15:31,193 --> 01:15:34,279
I'm not a victim,
I'm a survivor, and...

1325
01:15:34,363 --> 01:15:37,783
I will always defend people
who went through this

1326
01:15:37,866 --> 01:15:41,036
and who want to share their story.

1327
01:15:41,119 --> 01:15:43,914
And if you are afraid,
they can always talk to me.

1328
01:15:43,997 --> 01:15:45,123
I help them.

1329
01:15:45,624 --> 01:15:48,335
They should not hide from these scenes.

1330
