Holes that would have given you a good chance in an acquittal if you 54 00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:27,730 hadn't confessed. 55 00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:29,410 I'm here to talk a few of them out with you. 56 00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:34,050 I want to start with the place you were squatting back then. The abandoned house 57 00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:35,090 on Powerline Road. 58 00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:40,530 Okay. The hoodie, the one the shooter was wearing when he killed Officer 59 00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:44,590 Warner, the cops found it inside the house two days after you were arrested. 60 00:03:44,970 --> 00:03:47,830 If you read all that stuff, you know I told them it wasn't mine. 61 00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:50,690 Your lawyer, Kelly, she says you think the hoodie was planted. 62 00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:55,090 The first 20-something hours when I was in that room with the cops, I told them 63 00:03:55,090 --> 00:03:56,850 again and again they had the wrong guy. 64 00:03:57,510 --> 00:03:59,810 They needed something that would get me to stop fighting them. 65 00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:03,090 So they found a hoodie just like that one, put it in the house. 66 00:04:03,829 --> 00:04:04,970 Yeah, that's one possibility. 67 00:04:06,930 --> 00:04:09,610 Another is it belonged to one of the guys you were squatting with back then, 68 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,330 Dookie or Grey Worm. 69 00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:12,770 Ever get their real names? 70 00:04:14,450 --> 00:04:15,810 Ever hear their street names again? 71 00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:17,810 Maybe from an inmate in here? 72 00:04:18,209 --> 00:04:19,690 Anything that could help me find them now. 73 00:04:20,029 --> 00:04:23,570 No, and I had to guess they're not out there for you to find. 74 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:26,250 They were junkies, same as me. 75 00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:28,510 Guys living the way we were living. 76 00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:32,110 Odds are better they've both been dead for a long time. 77 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:36,840 Okay. Let's talk about what the police didn't find back then. The murder 78 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:40,560 weapon. The theory back in 2016 is you got rid of it somehow. You threw it in 79 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,560 the ocean, down a drain, whatever. 80 00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:46,180 But Kelly tells me it popped up in the cop's radar a few months back. 81 00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:49,460 Somebody fired six rounds into a billboard off US 441. 82 00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:51,420 Ballistics or whatever. 83 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,280 They matched the casings to the gun that killed Officer Warner. 84 00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:56,640 Police don't find that as interesting as we do. 85 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Yeah, they think somebody just found your gun. 86 00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:01,340 That the billboard shooting was unrelated. 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Me? 88 00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:06,570 It makes me wonder if the person who actually killed Bobby Warner never got 89 00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:07,570 rid of it. 90 00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:10,470 They just didn't use it to commit another crime until a few months ago. 91 00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:12,350 I wondered the same thing. 92 00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:14,270 I hoped. 93 00:05:15,090 --> 00:05:16,950 But if you really did tell him, then you know. 94 00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:22,630 A place like this... hope can hurt. 95 00:05:27,190 --> 00:05:28,190 Hey. 96 00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:33,510 How did it go with Gabriel? 97 00:05:34,030 --> 00:05:36,250 I didn't get a lot more than what was already in the files. 98 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:38,110 Well, what did you think about him? 99 00:05:39,310 --> 00:05:42,910 I mean, I think it's hard to get around the fact that he confessed. I do, but 100 00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:45,930 like you said, I mean, you almost took a plea deal in your dad's case. 101 00:05:46,190 --> 00:05:49,250 And I wasn't sleep-deprived or going through withdrawal like Gabriel. 102 00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:53,230 My gut says you could be right. I need to be innocent. 103 00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:55,750 If only gut feelings were admissible in court. 104 00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:58,450 We're going to need a lot more if we're going to get him out of that place. 105 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:59,790 Still. 106 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,500 It's sort of a relief knowing you don't think I'm crazy for wanting to help him. 107 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,640 I'm not crazy at all. 108 00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:08,240 There is one more thing you need to know about all this. 109 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,560 Something I didn't want to tell you until you could get your own impression 110 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,560 of Gabriel. 111 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,640 Okay. 112 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,560 It's about Mel. 113 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,860 Mel. Got a minute? 114 00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:23,300 For you, when don't I? 115 00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:32,930 I assume I told you about our little meeting the other night. Yeah, meeting's 116 00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:35,750 a funny way to describe an ambush in a parking lot. She said you warned her to 117 00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:38,790 stay away from the Gabriel Romero case. I didn't warn anyone. I just wanted to 118 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:39,790 make sure she had all the facts. 119 00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:42,550 If you wanted her to know that Bobby Werner was a friend, all you did do was 120 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:45,310 pick up the phone. Instead, you tried to intimidate her. I'm sorry. Is there some 121 00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:48,270 sort of etiquette for telling someone to not help a guy who murdered a cop in 122 00:06:48,270 --> 00:06:49,149 cold blood? 123 00:06:49,150 --> 00:06:51,370 I get that this is personal for you. Personal? 124 00:06:51,650 --> 00:06:53,430 I was on the phone with Bobby when he died. 125 00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:56,900 I heard the shots, and there wasn't a damn thing I could do to help him. 126 00:06:57,020 --> 00:07:00,060 Nobody could. Because right after Gabriel Romero shot Bobby through the 127 00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:03,160 back of the head, he planted two more bullets right here. Why? 128 00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:06,860 All because Bobby dared to arrest him a few times. That's the kind of guy your 129 00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:08,040 girlfriend's trying to get out of prison. 130 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,860 You're gonna help him anyway. 131 00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:16,780 I mean, if Amy's right about this guy, I have been where he has been. But he is 132 00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:20,520 not facing 18 months. He is facing the rest of his life. 133 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,080 Hmm. 134 00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:25,820 Well... If he gets out, maybe he can become a PI, too. 135 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,780 And you can explain to him how much of the job depends on you having friends 136 00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:33,580 who are cops, how often you need them to share information with you or get you 137 00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:37,380 access to a crime scene, and you can explain to him how they would never, 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,140 ever do those things for someone who tried to help someone who murdered one 139 00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:42,140 of their own. 140 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,480 Got it. 141 00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:49,940 Now, just in case you don't, stay away from this place. 142 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,300 Stay away from me. 143 00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:07,010 I've seen Mal mad before. 144 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:09,230 This was different. 145 00:08:11,410 --> 00:08:12,410 I'm sorry. 146 00:08:12,670 --> 00:08:15,750 I mean, it is what it is. If I find proof that Gabriel didn't kill Bobby 147 00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:17,030 Werner, she'll have to accept it. 148 00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:22,370 But you get that if I find something that tells us he did kill him... Oh, you 149 00:08:22,370 --> 00:08:23,550 have to bring it to the police. 150 00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:28,410 Okay. The way I see it, there are two paths for us to go down. First, there's 151 00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:31,570 the street names of the guys Gabriel used to live with, Dookie and Grey Worm. 152 00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:34,610 The police never bothered identifying them because Gabriel confessed. 153 00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:35,890 There's no point. 154 00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:39,470 But if either of them could have been the shooter back in 2016... We have to 155 00:08:39,470 --> 00:08:39,969 find them. 156 00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:40,970 Yeah. 157 00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:45,210 Wish, he's in a Facebook group for ex-cons. He's been poking around, asking 158 00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:46,390 if anybody knows these guys. 159 00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:50,170 I might be able to help out with the names, too. Ochoa Development's been 160 00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:54,890 chasing squatters away for a long time. It's sad, but it's dangerous to let them 161 00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:59,450 stay. I'll talk to the security guys. Ask if anyone has ever had an issue with 162 00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:00,990 a dookie or a gray worm. 163 00:09:02,110 --> 00:09:03,110 God, that sounds wrong. 164 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:05,650 I'll go down the second path, the gun path. 165 00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:08,650 I'll try to find the person that shot up that billboard a few months back, the 166 00:09:08,650 --> 00:09:09,730 one for the accident, attorney. 167 00:09:10,110 --> 00:09:11,110 Nick Nolan. 168 00:09:11,170 --> 00:09:12,370 Don't get mad, get money. 169 00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:15,530 I mean, if he's as sleazy as he looks, he's gonna have his share of enemies. 170 00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:19,470 Question is, could one of them be the same guy that shot a cop ten years ago? 171 00:09:22,450 --> 00:09:23,450 Bueno, bueno. 172 00:09:23,570 --> 00:09:26,310 Uh, no te preocupes. 173 00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:30,970 Empeceremo cuando tengo tu cachete en mano. 174 00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:35,750 Excuse me. 175 00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:39,950 Did you mean to say you'd start her case once you get her cheek in your hand? 176 00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:43,290 Lisa, 177 00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:44,610 call Mrs. 178 00:09:44,650 --> 00:09:48,090 Melendez.

He died in 1997. 379 00:21:06,330 --> 00:21:08,590 You couldn't have murdered Bobby Werner in 2016. 380 00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:12,790 According to this, his widow still lives in Boca. 381 00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:16,750 Maybe she can explain how her husband's gun ended up in the hands of a cop 382 00:21:16,750 --> 00:21:17,750 killer. 383 00:21:18,170 --> 00:21:24,470 You wanted to ask me about a gun that Arthur used to own? 384 00:21:24,670 --> 00:21:27,230 Yes, I do. It's this one, a Beretta 92. 385 00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:32,000 I'm afraid it was used in the commission of a crime. I'm trying to figure out how 386 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,560 it went from Arthur to the person who had it. 387 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,820 Well, if it's the gun I think it is, it went missing about ten years ago. 388 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,420 I was modifying the house to make it easier to move around. 389 00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:47,480 Had to move all sorts of things around, including Arthur's gun locker. 390 00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:49,780 That's when I noticed it was gone. 391 00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,460 And did you report it missing? 392 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,340 Of course I did. 393 00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:57,310 I told my grand-nephew Flynn about it right away. 394 00:21:57,630 --> 00:21:59,150 He was a policeman then. 395 00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:04,810 I'm sorry. Did you just say your grand-nephew was a cop? 396 00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:07,510 Hey. Hey. 397 00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:10,570 Does the name Flynn Magnuson mean anything to you? 398 00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:13,790 Of course. He was Bobby Werner's partner in 2016. 399 00:22:14,410 --> 00:22:16,210 Yeah, well, he could be a lot more than that. 400 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:19,150 He might be the person who orchestrated Bobby's murder. 401 00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:31,930 Hi, can I get your name and who you're here to see? Yeah, my name's R.J. 402 00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:33,430 Decker, and matter of fact, Flynn. 403 00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:35,330 I'm here to see you. 404 00:22:37,330 --> 00:22:39,530 You're sure it was my uncle's gun that killed Bobby? 405 00:22:40,670 --> 00:22:42,110 I think you mean your gun, right? 406 00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:45,470 At least it became your gun after you stole it out of your aunt's house. 407 00:22:45,810 --> 00:22:48,810 I mean, I know you're not a cop anymore, but possession is still non-tense. 408 00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:50,370 Am I right? 409 00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:52,150 Yeah, I looked into you. 410 00:22:52,550 --> 00:22:55,490 Six months after Bobby died, you were accused of excessive force against a 411 00:22:55,490 --> 00:22:57,590 shoplifter. You and the FLPD. 412 00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,739 Parted ways. 413 00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:00,920 What's that got to do with anything? 414 00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:03,640 Well, it made me wonder if it wasn't a one-time thing. 415 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,300 It was part of a pattern. 416 00:23:05,980 --> 00:23:07,540 Maybe a pattern Bobby didn't like. 417 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:11,060 Maybe he was planning on reporting you. You found out. 418 00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:12,940 You set him up to be killed. 419 00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:14,199 What? 420 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,160 Why else would you steal your uncle's gun? Why else would you file the serial 421 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:17,979 numbers down? 422 00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:22,220 It was supposed to... It was supposed to be a drop gun. 423 00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,880 Something I could plan if me or Bobby ever had to justify a shooting. 424 00:23:26,380 --> 00:23:30,080 When I started bringing the gun out of the patrol, it wasn't just me I thought 425 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,000 I was protecting. I thought I was protecting Bobby, too. 426 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,080 But when I told him about it, he flipped. 427 00:23:34,420 --> 00:23:36,200 He said the gun went, or he did. 428 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,680 Man, after Bobby died, I just... I lost him. 429 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Eventually, I was diagnosed with PTSD, but that wasn't until after I hurt that 430 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,440 shoplifter. 431 00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:55,750 But you get how none of that explains how your gun ended up in the hands of a 432 00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:56,750 killer, right? 433 00:23:57,810 --> 00:24:00,150 After me and Bobby talked, I brought the gun home. 434 00:24:00,370 --> 00:24:04,110 Before I could figure out what to do with it, someone broke in one night. 435 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:07,770 My laptop, some watches, the gun, all gone. 436 00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:09,750 My laptop and watches, I didn't care about. 437 00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:14,150 But the gun, knowing it was in the hands of some criminal, someone who might use 438 00:24:14,150 --> 00:24:16,230 it, terrified me. 439 00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:20,050 Guess I was right to be scared, because now you're telling me it ended up with 440 00:24:20,050 --> 00:24:21,050 Gabriel Romero. 441 00:24:21,390 --> 00:24:24,470 It ended up in someone's hands. I'm not sure that person was Gabriel. 442 00:24:24,990 --> 00:24:28,190 I know one thing for sure. Romero wasn't the guy who broke into my apartment. 443 00:24:28,610 --> 00:24:32,930 What do you mean? I couldn't report what happened because if anybody but me found 444 00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:35,650 the guy who did it... Yeah, they could tell them about the drop gun. 445 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:37,330 So I did my own investigation. 446 00:24:37,890 --> 00:24:40,490 Found some fingerprints, asked the lab to run them, said it was part of this 447 00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:42,110 other thing I was helping on. 448 00:24:42,330 --> 00:24:45,230 Some store on Sunrise Boulevard that kept getting graffitied. 449 00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:46,510 Okay, and? 450 00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:47,590 No hits. 451 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,880 Gabriel, he was in the system back then. 452 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,480 His name would have come up, but it didn't. 453 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,240 The store that kept getting graffiti. 454 00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:57,500 Do you remember the name? 455 00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:07,920 I take it you asked me to meet you here so Mel wouldn't see you? 456 00:25:08,660 --> 00:25:12,560 Or what, instead of a gun, do you have a body for me to look at?

Okay, back in 2016, a week before Bobby Werner was killed, his 461 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,680 partner asked the crime lab to run prints. 462 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:27,580 He said they were left by someone who vandalized a store called Sand Dollar 463 00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:30,860 Beachwear, but they weren't. They were left at the scene of another crime, the 464 00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:33,560 theft of the gun that was used to kill Bobby Werner. What? 465 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,780 Yeah. Ten years ago, there weren't any hits off the prints, but it's possible 466 00:25:37,780 --> 00:25:40,860 the guy that really did it has committed other crimes since then. If he got 467 00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:45,440 arrested for even one of them... Yeah, he would be in the system now. Yes. 468 00:25:47,659 --> 00:25:48,659 Okay.
