Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:09,308
This is an execution.
2
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:11,010
This was a planned murder.
3
00:00:11,112 --> 00:00:13,679
The killer came
into this house
4
00:00:13,781 --> 00:00:16,315
looking for Justin
and got Justin.
5
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,183
A brutal killing.
6
00:00:18,285 --> 00:00:21,020
Justin Michael was
brutally gunned down,
7
00:00:21,122 --> 00:00:24,256
and Angie Ver Huel
was unharmed.
8
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:25,824
It just didn't make sense.
9
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:28,994
A dark mystery
with shocking twists.
10
00:00:29,096 --> 00:00:31,230
The motives
could be infidelity,
11
00:00:31,332 --> 00:00:35,167
jealousy, is there some type of
love triangle gone bad?
12
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:38,504
He was face-to-face with
the guy that he could say,
13
00:00:38,606 --> 00:00:42,641
"that's the guy that took
my girlfriend away from me."
14
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:45,310
Maybe it just kind of
picked a scab.
15
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:47,413
Maybe that's when
his anger toward
16
00:00:47,515 --> 00:00:49,248
Justin Michael
began to build.
17
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:51,283
The truth will be revealed.
18
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:53,118
Most victims know
their killer.
19
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,020
You're almost always
gonna find a connection.
20
00:00:55,122 --> 00:00:57,222
There's some tie
back to the victim.
21
00:00:57,324 --> 00:00:59,358
The key to the investigation
is finding that tie.
22
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:04,596
Every day in North America,
23
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:07,032
dozens of people are murdered.
24
00:01:07,101 --> 00:01:09,468
The key to solving
the toughest of these homicides
25
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:13,572
lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim's life.
26
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:14,973
To crack the case,
27
00:01:15,076 --> 00:01:18,744
detectives must reconstruct
that critical timeline,
28
00:01:18,846 --> 00:01:21,413
the minutes and hours
containing evidence
29
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:23,582
that can help unlock
the mystery
30
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:24,817
and catch the killer.
31
00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:33,725
32
00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:36,862
Some 15 miles north
of des moines, Iowa,
33
00:01:36,964 --> 00:01:40,365
just off the highway and down
some gravel roads lies
34
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:42,201
the town of grimes --
35
00:01:42,303 --> 00:01:45,304
though if you blink,
you just might miss it.
36
00:01:45,406 --> 00:01:47,206
Grimes is a very small town,
37
00:01:47,308 --> 00:01:49,374
surrounded by nothing
but farmland.
38
00:01:51,045 --> 00:01:54,379
You have the old brick
downtown area,
39
00:01:54,482 --> 00:01:57,282
and then out for
miles in every direction
40
00:01:57,384 --> 00:01:58,884
you have farm fields.
41
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:02,521
Grimes is very quiet.
42
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:04,690
It has that midwestern charm.
43
00:02:04,792 --> 00:02:07,159
It has low crime rate.
44
00:02:07,261 --> 00:02:11,230
The last violent crime
was 42 years ago.
45
00:02:11,332 --> 00:02:13,866
Most of the crimes are
property crimes,
46
00:02:13,968 --> 00:02:16,368
thefts, burglaries.
47
00:02:18,706 --> 00:02:20,305
But then one spring night,
48
00:02:20,407 --> 00:02:23,876
the residents of this peaceful
farming community are awoken by
49
00:02:23,978 --> 00:02:25,210
the sound of sirens.
50
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:49,501
When you get
a shots fired trip,
51
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:51,036
especially in the grimes area,
52
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:53,272
a lot of the times, it's just
people doing fireworks.
53
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,474
You get backfire from a car.
54
00:02:55,576 --> 00:02:58,443
We've had
transformers blow.
55
00:02:58,546 --> 00:03:00,012
Homicide?
56
00:03:00,114 --> 00:03:01,280
Very rarely.
57
00:03:03,217 --> 00:03:05,951
When you see a lot of
authorities on the scene
58
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:07,419
in grimes, Iowa,
59
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:10,022
you start thinking
this probably isn't just
60
00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:12,824
a normal crime,
it's a lot more serious.
61
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:17,629
The victim is
30-year-old Justin Michael.
62
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:23,535
Justin was a good-looking,
bright young man.
63
00:03:23,637 --> 00:03:25,837
Family and friends
loved to be around him.
64
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:29,308
He had a sense of adventure,
a great job.
65
00:03:29,410 --> 00:03:31,877
Nobody had an unkind word
to say about him.
66
00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:34,980
He was always willing
to lend a hand, um...
67
00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:38,817
Just a good, good guy.
68
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,453
Angie and Justin were
engaged to be married.
69
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:42,921
Angie had bought
her wedding dress,
70
00:03:43,023 --> 00:03:44,823
so it's heartbreaking to know
they were that close to
71
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:46,592
the wedding, and then
their lives were shattered.
72
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:51,496
Tasked with
investigating Justin Michael's
73
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,566
murder is detective
Robyn Bartholomew.
74
00:03:56,537 --> 00:04:00,005
I was called out
roughly 3:30 in the morning
75
00:04:00,107 --> 00:04:02,741
and was notified
of a shooting.
76
00:04:05,412 --> 00:04:09,681
Once on scene,
I observed a white male,
77
00:04:09,783 --> 00:04:13,819
early thirties, laying
on his back in the bed.
78
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:16,855
There was a significant
amount of blood.
79
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:20,425
He had four gunshot wounds,
80
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:23,028
three to the head
and one to the neck.
81
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:26,665
The victim appeared to be
gunned down in his sleep.
82
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:30,402
The person that
shot Justin was clearly
83
00:04:30,504 --> 00:04:32,537
standing right over
the top of him,
84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,974
shooting almost downward
into his head.
85
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:39,611
The bullets pass through
Justin, through the pillow,
86
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:41,480
through his mattress,
87
00:04:41,582 --> 00:04:43,482
and one of the bullets
actually passed through
88
00:04:43,584 --> 00:04:45,350
the wall and exited
the home.
89
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:51,290
90
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:59,131
Justin Michael's
fiancee, Angie Ver Huel,
91
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:03,902
was laying right next to
Justin Michael when he was shot,
92
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,738
and Angie Ver Huel
was unharmed.
93
00:05:08,175 --> 00:05:11,109
Angie said
she was asleep in bed.
94
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:14,012
She heard several shots
95
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:17,449
and immediately woke
and saw what appeared
96
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:21,386
to be a dark figure
exiting the bedroom.
97
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:28,327
The description of
the intruder was so vague.
98
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:33,632
Average-size person,
unknown male or female,
99
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:34,933
dressed in
all dark clothing.
100
00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:37,469
We have no idea
who we're looking for.
101
00:05:40,274 --> 00:05:42,207
Detective Bartholomew must now
102
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:44,042
track down Justin's killer by
103
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:47,145
focusing on the last
24 hours of his life,
104
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:48,647
starting with the crime scene.
105
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:52,184
Shell casings were located
106
00:05:52,286 --> 00:05:54,986
in the bed next to the victim.
107
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:57,622
I had never seen
the shell casings before.
108
00:05:57,725 --> 00:06:01,560
They were tulammo,
which I later learned
109
00:06:01,662 --> 00:06:05,664
is a Russian manufactured
steel casing ammo.
110
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:08,734
The weapon used was
a 9-millimeter automatic.
111
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,270
Whenever you have
a murder involving a firearm,
112
00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:15,907
ballistics is a very important
forensic component of
113
00:06:16,009 --> 00:06:17,209
an investigation.
114
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:20,579
Whenever you see a particular
brand of ammunition show up
115
00:06:20,681 --> 00:06:24,483
that is atypical, that points
police in the direction of
116
00:06:24,585 --> 00:06:26,718
a specific type of buyer.
117
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:30,922
That said, the more rare
a brand or a make or model
118
00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:32,090
of ammunition,
119
00:06:32,192 --> 00:06:34,760
the much smaller your
potential pool of suspects,
120
00:06:34,862 --> 00:06:36,428
and they can be
much harder to find.
121
00:06:40,334 --> 00:06:41,900
Police comb
through the house
122
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:43,969
looking for more clues.
123
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:46,271
It was a small,
well-kept house.
124
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:49,708
There was no signs
of forced entry.
125
00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:51,877
The only thing
that appeared, um,
126
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:55,247
out of order was some
electronic equipment
127
00:06:55,349 --> 00:06:59,184
that had been pulled from
an entertainment center.
128
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:03,855
Then something unusual
catches the detective's eye.
129
00:07:03,957 --> 00:07:06,691
There was a piece of clothing
that was left there in
130
00:07:06,794 --> 00:07:09,861
the living room that did not
belong to anyone in the house.
131
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:13,064
It was a construction
yellow hoodie.
132
00:07:13,167 --> 00:07:15,100
I thought that was odd.
133
00:07:15,202 --> 00:07:17,636
In the preliminary stages
of an investigation,
134
00:07:17,738 --> 00:07:20,439
you can't rule out
a burglary gone wrong.
135
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:22,507
But after examining the scene,
136
00:07:22,609 --> 00:07:24,709
nothing was missing
from the house.
137
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:26,778
The house wasn't ransacked.
138
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,782
To me, it was a poor attempt
to stage a burglary.
139
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:35,754
Staging is any
attempt by an offender to create
140
00:07:35,856 --> 00:07:36,955
an alternate scenario,
141
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:41,526
to move things around in
a way to misdirect the police.
142
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,962
Whenever you see staging at
a murder scene or any
143
00:07:44,064 --> 00:07:45,530
crime scene for that matter,
144
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:49,234
it will often reflect the fact
that the offender knows they're
145
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:50,635
going to be the prime suspect,
146
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:53,038
they have some personal
connection to the victim,
147
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:57,275
so by introducing staging, or
countermeasures as we call it,
148
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:58,944
it creates
an alternate scenario
149
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:00,679
to frame someone
in particular.
150
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:04,549
It did not seem
it was some type of a burglary
151
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:06,351
that was taking place.
152
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:10,088
It appeared that this was
a targeted attack.
153
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:12,390
This was somebody
that came into this house
154
00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:14,559
looking for Justin
and got Justin.
155
00:08:16,163 --> 00:08:19,264
It's very unusual that someone's
gonna enter a house,
156
00:08:19,366 --> 00:08:22,267
gun down one person,
and leave witnesses.
157
00:08:23,871 --> 00:08:26,004
In many cases,
leaving a witness behind
158
00:08:26,106 --> 00:08:28,840
would have to have some
other pragmatic purpose.
159
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:30,108
In other cases,
we see
160
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,710
where an offender
will murder one victim,
161
00:08:31,812 --> 00:08:34,079
because they have a very
specific motive.
162
00:08:34,181 --> 00:08:36,248
That doesn't necessarily mean
they have it in them to
163
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,951
take the life of an innocent
bystander or a witness.
164
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:41,620
In reality,
165
00:08:41,722 --> 00:08:43,522
some killers just aren't
that cold-blooded.
166
00:08:46,727 --> 00:08:49,494
To get more answers,
the investigators turn
167
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:51,463
to the other witness
at the scene,
168
00:08:51,565 --> 00:08:53,064
Justin's mother, Marie.
169
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:58,103
Marie Michael was in town
for wedding-planning purposes,
170
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:00,839
so she was actually staying
at the residence with Justin
171
00:09:00,941 --> 00:09:01,873
and Angie.
172
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:07,646
Marie was in
a guest room across from Justin
173
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:09,681
and Angie's room.
174
00:09:09,783 --> 00:09:13,218
At approximately 3:20
in the morning,
175
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,521
she was awoken
by the door opening.
176
00:09:16,623 --> 00:09:18,790
Marie Michael told US
177
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:22,427
the gun that was used
had a laser sight on it,
178
00:09:22,529 --> 00:09:27,799
and she was woken up by
the light shining in her eyes.
179
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:33,572
She obviously was very scared,
pretended to remain asleep.
180
00:09:33,674 --> 00:09:35,407
At one point,
she took a peek,
181
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:40,579
and she sees a figure in
the doorway clad in all black.
182
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:43,682
You know,
nothing to indicate who it was.
183
00:09:43,784 --> 00:09:47,118
In very short order then,
she heard four rapid gunshots.
184
00:09:52,626 --> 00:09:55,727
911 calls came in
by Angie Ver Huel
185
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:57,829
and Marie Michael at
186
00:09:57,931 --> 00:09:59,698
3:22 in the morning.
187
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,500
We were able to establish
that the homicide occurred
188
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:04,269
at approximately 3:20
in the morning.
189
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:09,240
But who would want to
kill Justin Michael, and why?
190
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:12,944
Justin Michael
was brutally gunned down
191
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:15,947
and Angie Ver Huel
was unharmed.
192
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:17,515
It just didn't
make sense.
193
00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:21,386
It was something
that was suspicious.
194
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:26,858
Angie said as soon
as the shots happened,
195
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,561
she immediately jumped up
out of the bed.
196
00:10:29,663 --> 00:10:32,430
The fact that, you know,
she didn't get blood on her,
197
00:10:32,532 --> 00:10:35,667
you know, maybe from the way
the gunshots occurred,
198
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:38,536
all of the splatter went
opposite of where
199
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:39,871
Angie was lying.
200
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,140
It's not out of the realm
of possibility,
201
00:10:42,242 --> 00:10:43,675
but that's incredibly unusual.
202
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:47,312
When you examine crime scenes,
203
00:10:47,414 --> 00:10:50,482
and especially when you have
blood evidence,
204
00:10:50,584 --> 00:10:52,217
it tells a story.
205
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:56,121
And with the lack of blood on
Angie Ver Huel,
206
00:10:56,223 --> 00:10:59,324
to me, that was a red flag.
207
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:02,127
In these types of cases,
you really want to look at
208
00:11:02,229 --> 00:11:05,664
the person closest to
the victim -- more times
209
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:08,299
than not, it's gonna be
a significant other
210
00:11:08,402 --> 00:11:11,803
or a family member that is
involved in the homicide.
211
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:13,538
I want to take
a closer look at Angie.
212
00:11:19,713 --> 00:11:23,748
213
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:26,718
With suspicion
swirling around Angie Ver Huel
214
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,319
in the brutal killing
of her fiance,
215
00:11:28,422 --> 00:11:29,721
Justin Michael,
216
00:11:29,823 --> 00:11:32,590
detectives bring her down to
the station for questioning.
217
00:11:34,094 --> 00:11:35,360
Angie,
218
00:11:35,462 --> 00:11:38,763
by virtue of being Justin's
fiancee and being at
219
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:42,734
the crime scene unharmed,
is a person of interest.
220
00:11:45,172 --> 00:11:47,038
As detectives interview Angie,
221
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:48,973
she's surprisingly unemotional.
222
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:50,208
I have no idea.
223
00:11:55,549 --> 00:11:57,782
One would think that you'd be
completely shattered that
224
00:11:57,884 --> 00:12:01,686
your fiance was brutally
gunned down right next to you.
225
00:12:01,788 --> 00:12:04,923
Angie was, very calm.
226
00:12:05,025 --> 00:12:07,425
She wasn't upset.
She wasn't crying.
227
00:12:07,527 --> 00:12:09,427
Her demeanor was
a little suspicious.
228
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:10,528
Um...
229
00:12:18,138 --> 00:12:21,072
Everyone responds differently
to grief and distress.
230
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:24,476
So in order to calibrate
a person's response
231
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:26,878
to determine if it's
suspicious or not,
232
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:29,547
like we see in this case,
we would have to first get to
233
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:30,982
know every person of interest,
234
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:33,384
their background, their habits,
their associates,
235
00:12:33,487 --> 00:12:37,021
to understand if a theatrical
response is out of character
236
00:12:37,124 --> 00:12:40,125
or if that's actually how they
just operate day to day.
237
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:47,498
This was a planned murder.
238
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,400
Angie survived the shooting,
she's laying
239
00:12:49,503 --> 00:12:51,569
right next to Justin
when it occurs.
240
00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:53,404
So why is she still alive?
241
00:12:53,507 --> 00:12:56,007
What's the motivation
behind this murder?
242
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,510
Detectives
question Angie about
243
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,513
how she and Justin spent
his last 24 hours.
244
00:13:03,216 --> 00:13:05,216
The day before
Justin Michael was murdered,
245
00:13:05,318 --> 00:13:08,720
they met for dinner at Justin
Michael's sister's house.
246
00:13:08,822 --> 00:13:11,055
Angie said there was
nothing unusual.
247
00:13:11,158 --> 00:13:13,458
Everything was normal.
248
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,193
They were busy
making preparations
249
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:16,828
for the wedding, planning.
250
00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:20,865
They were happy,
and they got home about 10 P.M.,
251
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:24,335
and went to bed
at approximately 11 P.M.
252
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:27,071
Detectives press Angie
for more details about
253
00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:28,940
Justin's life.
254
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:31,509
Trying to figure out why
something like this happens,
255
00:13:31,611 --> 00:13:32,877
you start looking
at backgrounds,
256
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:36,648
you start looking at all of
the people that Justin knows.
257
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,467
There was no indication that
Justin was involved in drugs.
258
00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:59,370
There was no indication that
Justin was involved in
259
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:03,241
gambling or any of the things
of that nature.
260
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:04,709
You always want to
look into, you know,
261
00:14:04,811 --> 00:14:08,046
was there something in
Justin's background that was
262
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,582
the cause of this homicide?
263
00:14:10,684 --> 00:14:12,417
There was really nothing.
264
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:16,688
And also, there was nothing
noteworthy in Justin Michael's
265
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:19,591
past relationships that would
indicate somebody wanting
266
00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:21,226
to harm him.
267
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:35,673
Investigators look closer at
268
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:38,176
Angie's relationship
with Justin Michael.
269
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:40,778
They want to know if there
were problems between them.
270
00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:45,083
Angie had met
Justin in 2013.
271
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:49,654
They hit it off so well,
she had moved in very quickly.
272
00:14:49,756 --> 00:14:53,458
She described their relationship
as a great relationship.
273
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,461
There was no, stress,
274
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:59,063
fights, no issues.
275
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:01,399
They were both excited
to get married.
276
00:15:01,501 --> 00:15:04,569
Angie said that
their relationship was solid.
277
00:15:04,671 --> 00:15:07,105
People generally don't
kill people just for
278
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:09,107
the sake of killing people
unless they are
279
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:10,975
completely deranged.
280
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:13,044
Most victims
know their killer.
281
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:14,946
You're almost always going
to find a connection.
282
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:18,049
There's -- there's some tie
back to the victim.
283
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:20,084
The key of the investigation
is finding that tie.
284
00:15:21,688 --> 00:15:23,955
With Angie still
in their crosshairs,
285
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:27,258
investigators dig deeper
into her past relationships.
286
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:32,964
During the course
of Angie Ver Huel's interview,
287
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:35,099
one of those things I asked
about is, you know, who are
288
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:36,434
your ex-boyfriends?
289
00:15:36,536 --> 00:15:38,937
Who are the people that you've
been involved with that could
290
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:40,605
be responsible for this?
291
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:42,273
The first name she mentioned
292
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:44,542
was a guy by the name
of Andy wegener.
293
00:15:49,683 --> 00:15:52,483
Andy wegener was
a funeral director here in town.
294
00:15:52,585 --> 00:15:57,088
He was Angie's
ex-boyfriend.
295
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:58,823
It was a long-term
relationship,
296
00:15:58,925 --> 00:16:01,159
and they were pretty serious
and lived together,
297
00:16:01,261 --> 00:16:02,660
and eventually,
they broke up.
298
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:21,045
At that point, Andy's a person
of interest, he's somebody
299
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,680
that has
300
00:16:22,782 --> 00:16:26,250
got a history with Angie,
so we need to know what he's
301
00:16:26,353 --> 00:16:29,020
been up to, and we've got
to figure out where he was,
302
00:16:29,122 --> 00:16:31,723
what he was doing, and see
if he has any motivation
303
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:33,057
to be involved in this.
304
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:37,628
When pressed on
who else might have wanted
305
00:16:37,731 --> 00:16:38,830
to harm Justin,
306
00:16:38,932 --> 00:16:41,032
Angie recalls
a strange incident
307
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:42,367
from a few months back.
308
00:16:44,070 --> 00:16:45,636
Angie had talked
about an incident
309
00:16:45,739 --> 00:16:48,606
involving her vehicle
where it was vandalized.
310
00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:52,243
The windshield was cracked,
three windows were broke out,
311
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:55,146
and someone had keyed her car.
312
00:16:55,248 --> 00:16:57,749
At the time,
it was thought that
313
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:00,752
kids in the neighborhood
had damaged her vehicle.
314
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:05,990
But after learning the amount
of damage to Angie's car,
315
00:17:07,327 --> 00:17:09,060
it seemed very personal.
316
00:17:09,162 --> 00:17:12,430
The vandalized vehicle
and the murder of
317
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:14,532
Justin Michael
could be related.
318
00:17:16,002 --> 00:17:19,003
Detectives ask Angie
if she has any ideas
319
00:17:19,105 --> 00:17:21,139
as to who might be
behind the vandalism.
320
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:32,250
She mentions that for a very
brief period of time,
321
00:17:32,352 --> 00:17:34,218
she dated
this guy named Dave.
322
00:17:37,824 --> 00:17:40,058
Angie talked about
meeting up with him
323
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,261
a half a dozen times,
but nothing serious.
324
00:17:43,363 --> 00:17:45,596
It was just more
of a hookup.
325
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:47,432
According to Angie,
326
00:17:47,534 --> 00:17:48,933
when she ended things
with Dave,
327
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:53,071
he didn't take it well and
sent her several angry texts.
328
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:56,174
So at that point,
Dave is on our radar,
329
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:58,109
but we still don't
know who Dave is.
330
00:18:06,953 --> 00:18:10,088
For a period of time, she could
not remember Dave's last name.
331
00:18:18,731 --> 00:18:20,131
I thought that was odd.
332
00:18:20,233 --> 00:18:23,267
We were trying to ask more
details or something
333
00:18:23,369 --> 00:18:26,838
that would help her
remember Dave's last name.
334
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:29,307
As we pressed forward,
out of the blue,
335
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:30,508
she comes up with...
336
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:38,049
We already had
Andy wegener's name,
337
00:18:38,151 --> 00:18:39,584
so we're running a criminal
history check.
338
00:18:39,719 --> 00:18:41,752
We're doing those things
with Andy wegener,
339
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:44,956
but now Dave moffitt is
somebody that we need to see
340
00:18:45,058 --> 00:18:46,324
what's going on.
341
00:18:46,426 --> 00:18:49,961
And then Angie said David and
Justin had worked together
342
00:18:50,063 --> 00:18:51,129
at Wells Fargo.
343
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:59,203
Wells Fargo
is a huge company,
344
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:03,141
I mean, 10 plus thousand
employees in polk county,
345
00:19:03,243 --> 00:19:06,177
and by pure happenstance,
346
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,080
David moffitt then gets
assigned to the very team
347
00:19:09,182 --> 00:19:13,284
within the mortgage division
where Justin Michael worked,
348
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:16,554
and both of these guys,
Justin and David,
349
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:19,223
had dated Angie Ver Huel.
350
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:22,894
So he was face-to-face with
the guy that he could say,
351
00:19:22,996 --> 00:19:27,331
"that's the guy that took
my girlfriend away from me."
352
00:19:27,433 --> 00:19:29,901
Maybe it just kind of
picked the scab.
353
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:31,702
Maybe that's when his anger
354
00:19:31,804 --> 00:19:33,671
toward Justin Michael
began to build.
355
00:19:36,276 --> 00:19:39,677
This connection is
most interesting,
356
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:41,646
knowing that
357
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:44,549
Angie had a relationship
with David moffitt.
358
00:19:44,651 --> 00:19:46,784
David moffitt has
a work relationship with
359
00:19:46,886 --> 00:19:49,086
Justin Michael.
360
00:19:49,189 --> 00:19:52,256
Is there some type of love
triangle gone bad?
361
00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:55,459
Jealousy, in my mind,
could be the motive here.
362
00:19:55,562 --> 00:19:59,330
Jealousy is one of the most
destructive emotions.
363
00:19:59,432 --> 00:20:04,302
We need to find David moffitt
and Angie's ex-boyfriend,
364
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:07,305
Andy wegener --
we need to talk to these guys.
365
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:09,307
We had to determine
if they were
366
00:20:09,409 --> 00:20:12,076
involved in the murder
of Angie's fiancee.
367
00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:20,218
368
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,353
In the murder
of Justin Michael,
369
00:20:22,455 --> 00:20:24,622
detectives are pursuing two
new leads
370
00:20:24,724 --> 00:20:27,225
from his fiancee Angie's past.
371
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:29,560
Knowing that
372
00:20:29,662 --> 00:20:32,496
Angie had a relationship
with David moffitt,
373
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:36,167
and Andy wegener is Angie's
long-term ex-boyfriend,
374
00:20:36,269 --> 00:20:38,436
we want to dig
a little deeper
375
00:20:38,538 --> 00:20:41,539
and find out everything
we can about them.
376
00:20:41,641 --> 00:20:44,942
We're checking if David
moffitt has a criminal history.
377
00:20:45,044 --> 00:20:46,277
Does he have
a weapons permit?
378
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:49,780
While checking on
David moffitt,
379
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:53,251
we learned that David moffitt's
vehicle was impounded
380
00:20:53,353 --> 00:20:55,853
the same night
as the homicide.
381
00:20:55,955 --> 00:20:57,421
I needed to find out why.
382
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:03,861
They learn that David moffitt
383
00:21:03,963 --> 00:21:06,264
had an accident the night
of the homicide,
384
00:21:06,366 --> 00:21:10,301
approximately five miles
from Justin Michael's home.
385
00:21:10,403 --> 00:21:13,437
At 3:45,
shortly after the homicide,
386
00:21:13,539 --> 00:21:15,606
within the same hour
387
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:17,275
David moffitt's
in an accident.
388
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:22,647
Having David moffitt's name
pop up at that time
389
00:21:22,749 --> 00:21:28,052
in that location is not
something we expected to see.
390
00:21:28,154 --> 00:21:30,254
This is the piece
of the puzzle we're looking for.
391
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,825
I was dispatched
to that car accident.
392
00:21:34,927 --> 00:21:38,496
When I arrived on
scene, it was...
393
00:21:38,598 --> 00:21:41,999
About 0400,
about approximately 40 minutes
394
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:44,802
after the homicide
took place.
395
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:48,372
On a gravel road,
I come up on a red Ford Taurus
396
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:51,342
that struck this
telephone pole.
397
00:21:51,444 --> 00:21:54,612
The front end of the car
was smashed in.
398
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:56,013
When I give the plate
to dispatch, and they
399
00:21:56,115 --> 00:21:59,083
advise me it belongs to
a guy named David moffitt,
400
00:21:59,185 --> 00:22:02,219
I don't see anybody
in the area.
401
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:03,688
And as soon as I'm starting
to get back into
402
00:22:03,790 --> 00:22:07,224
my car is when the white male
subject comes out of
403
00:22:07,327 --> 00:22:10,194
the ditch from the north
and he says, "I need help."
404
00:22:10,296 --> 00:22:12,697
He said his name
was David moffitt.
405
00:22:12,765 --> 00:22:15,232
He just says
he was out for
406
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:17,835
a joyride, and he got
in a car accident.
407
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:22,606
Deputy tart was aware at
this time that, five miles away,
408
00:22:22,709 --> 00:22:25,843
way have a ho -- active
homicide scene going on.
409
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:30,214
So while not immediately
apparent that these two things
410
00:22:30,316 --> 00:22:31,482
could be related,
411
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:33,584
it certainly got
his suspicion up.
412
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:36,354
The first thing
I notice is just
413
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:39,757
how much sweat that
he's covered in, he's --
414
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:43,160
from head to toe,
covered in sweat.
415
00:22:43,262 --> 00:22:45,429
I asked him
what he's doing
416
00:22:45,531 --> 00:22:46,931
in the grimes area.
417
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:50,501
At that moment,
he became really defensive.
418
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:52,470
I couldn't find insurance
on the car.
419
00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:55,272
So I made the decision that I
was just gonna impound the car.
420
00:22:56,809 --> 00:23:00,010
My gut was telling me
that he knew more
421
00:23:00,113 --> 00:23:03,180
about what was actually
happening, about the homicide.
422
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:06,317
So I got all the information
that we needed in case
423
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:07,785
we needed to come back
and talk to him,
424
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:10,421
which I felt, at some point,
we were probably going to.
425
00:23:13,593 --> 00:23:16,260
David moffitt lives on
the other side of the county.
426
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:22,700
He lives 26, 27 miles
away from this area.
427
00:23:22,802 --> 00:23:25,169
So, barring some
unusual circumstance,
428
00:23:25,271 --> 00:23:28,606
there's really not much reason
for him to be over in that area
429
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:29,974
at four o'clock
in the morning.
430
00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:33,544
This startling new information
431
00:23:33,646 --> 00:23:36,113
that places David moffitt
both on the timeline
432
00:23:36,215 --> 00:23:38,582
and near the crime scene
could be the break
433
00:23:38,684 --> 00:23:41,285
investigators have been
looking for.
434
00:23:41,387 --> 00:23:44,755
Knowing that Angie
dated David moffitt,
435
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:47,358
and David moffitt's
vehicle was impounded
436
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:48,993
the same night of
the homicide,
437
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,761
is that coincidence?
438
00:23:50,863 --> 00:23:53,464
Maybe, maybe not.
439
00:23:53,566 --> 00:23:55,466
There's just
too many coincidences
440
00:23:55,568 --> 00:23:57,535
that start to stack up
in this case.
441
00:23:57,637 --> 00:23:59,003
He works with the victim.
442
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:01,338
He's in a motor vehicle
collision near the scene
443
00:24:01,441 --> 00:24:05,075
of the crime -- that creates
a nexus that is undeniable
444
00:24:05,178 --> 00:24:08,179
and that merits investigation,
full bore.
445
00:24:11,284 --> 00:24:15,753
So Dave goes from being
an interesting character that
446
00:24:15,855 --> 00:24:17,788
we need to find out about
to the top of our list
447
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:19,190
in very short order.
448
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:22,426
Detectives head to
the scene of David moffitt's
449
00:24:22,528 --> 00:24:23,527
car accident,
450
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,763
hoping to find evidence
that will connect him to
451
00:24:25,865 --> 00:24:27,932
Justin's homicide.
452
00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:29,233
We have a lead.
453
00:24:29,335 --> 00:24:31,702
We can't get out there
fast enough.
454
00:24:31,804 --> 00:24:34,438
Searching the area where
David moffitt crashed,
455
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:37,842
we found some
incredible items.
456
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:41,779
We found a shoebox that
contained ear protection,
457
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:44,315
a flashlight,
and camo makeup.
458
00:24:45,852 --> 00:24:49,653
So a lot of things that
are associated with concealing
459
00:24:49,755 --> 00:24:54,225
your identity and committing
a crime such as this murder.
460
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:58,329
As detectives continue
to comb the area,
461
00:24:58,431 --> 00:25:01,465
they gather even more
crucial evidence.
462
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:02,867
We also find
463
00:25:02,969 --> 00:25:07,071
a gun magazine with ammo.
464
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:08,706
It's tulammo.
465
00:25:08,808 --> 00:25:10,908
It's a match
to the shell casings
466
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:12,376
found at the crime scene.
467
00:25:12,478 --> 00:25:13,978
This is a big breakthrough.
468
00:25:15,882 --> 00:25:17,181
But then,
469
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:20,184
detectives make
an unexpected discovery.
470
00:25:20,286 --> 00:25:22,353
Along with the magazine,
471
00:25:22,455 --> 00:25:25,089
ammo,
flashlight was a receipt
472
00:25:25,191 --> 00:25:28,359
for an oil change
in the name of Andy wegener.
473
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:31,829
What in the world
is going on here?
474
00:25:31,931 --> 00:25:34,298
Andrew wegener's
already on our radar,
475
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,535
because, you know,
he's Angie's ex-boyfriend.
476
00:25:37,637 --> 00:25:41,138
We have to figure out how
in the world this receipt
477
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,973
ends up at the crash scene,
478
00:25:43,075 --> 00:25:46,310
you know, where David
moffitt's crashed his car.
479
00:25:46,412 --> 00:25:47,945
It just didn't make sense.
480
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:50,247
Did Andy wegener
kill Justin Michael?
481
00:25:50,349 --> 00:25:51,982
Did David moffitt
kill Justin Michael?
482
00:25:52,084 --> 00:25:53,450
Were they in
it together?
483
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,054
We've certainly seen
collusion in homicide scenes.
484
00:25:57,156 --> 00:25:59,290
But, you know,
by all accounts,
485
00:25:59,392 --> 00:26:02,726
other than the Angie factor,
that they had both dated her,
486
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:04,895
there's no reason
that David moffitt
487
00:26:04,997 --> 00:26:07,831
and Andrew wegener
would have crossed paths.
488
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:08,799
We've got to figure out what
489
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:10,534
the connection is
between these two.
490
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,942
491
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:20,177
The discovery of
Andrew wegener's name
492
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:21,278
on a receipt at
493
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:23,647
the scene of
David moffitt's car accident
494
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:26,850
five miles from where Justin
Michael was killed has
495
00:26:26,953 --> 00:26:29,253
turned the investigation
on its head.
496
00:26:29,355 --> 00:26:32,456
These two are tied
to this crime scene.
497
00:26:32,558 --> 00:26:34,758
Are these two guys
working together?
498
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,560
Are they working
with Angie?
499
00:26:36,662 --> 00:26:37,761
I need to do
some digging.
500
00:26:37,863 --> 00:26:44,335
501
00:26:44,437 --> 00:26:46,270
While detectives wait
on a search warrant
502
00:26:46,372 --> 00:26:48,005
for David moffitt's house,
503
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:50,608
they bring Andy wegener
in for questioning.
504
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:53,444
Andy wegener
and Angie Ver Huel
505
00:26:53,546 --> 00:26:56,747
lived together for
three years.
506
00:26:56,849 --> 00:27:00,651
When we interviewed Andrew
wegener, he had moved on.
507
00:27:00,753 --> 00:27:01,986
He had a new girlfriend.
508
00:27:03,389 --> 00:27:06,223
Andy wegener said
that he was aware that Angie was
509
00:27:06,325 --> 00:27:09,994
engaged but did not know to
who she was engaged to.
510
00:27:10,096 --> 00:27:13,364
We asked Andy wegener
if he knew David moffitt.
511
00:27:13,466 --> 00:27:15,065
He did not.
512
00:27:15,167 --> 00:27:17,401
Andy claimed that
after their breakup,
513
00:27:17,503 --> 00:27:19,737
he didn't stay in contact
with Angie.
514
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:21,171
During interviews,
515
00:27:21,273 --> 00:27:24,808
it's very common that
people minimize
516
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:27,077
and don't tell the truth.
517
00:27:28,447 --> 00:27:31,448
Andy denies having
any involvement in the crime,
518
00:27:31,550 --> 00:27:34,251
but detectives press on,
looking for answers.
519
00:27:35,821 --> 00:27:38,288
When Andy was asked
about a receipt for
520
00:27:38,391 --> 00:27:39,590
an oil change in his name,
521
00:27:39,692 --> 00:27:42,660
he didn't really have
an explanation to
522
00:27:42,762 --> 00:27:45,629
why or what had
happened to it.
523
00:27:45,731 --> 00:27:48,899
He said he recalled getting
an oil change and thought
524
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:52,670
that the receipt was still
in his vehicle or at home.
525
00:27:52,772 --> 00:27:55,039
When people are interviewed,
there's many reasons
526
00:27:55,141 --> 00:27:56,740
why they may
be evasive.
527
00:27:56,842 --> 00:27:59,043
Sometimes they're trying to
conceal information which isn't
528
00:27:59,145 --> 00:28:00,144
connected to the crime
529
00:28:00,246 --> 00:28:02,513
but maybe portrays
them in a negative light.
530
00:28:02,615 --> 00:28:05,149
Sometimes they're taken
aback and they're confused by
531
00:28:05,251 --> 00:28:07,618
the information that
they're being presented with,
532
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,920
not because they're guilty,
but just because that's their
533
00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:12,623
way of responding when they're
in a stressful situation.
534
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,827
Detectives question
Andy about his whereabouts
535
00:28:16,929 --> 00:28:19,663
during the time Justin
was killed.
536
00:28:19,765 --> 00:28:22,032
Andy had talked
about leaving work about
537
00:28:22,134 --> 00:28:26,336
4 P.M., he had went home,
took care of a couple things,
538
00:28:26,439 --> 00:28:28,739
and then ultimately ended up
staying overnight
539
00:28:28,841 --> 00:28:29,940
at his girlfriend's house.
540
00:28:31,010 --> 00:28:35,279
She lives in another
community several miles away.
541
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:36,914
They had gone
to dinner that night,
542
00:28:37,016 --> 00:28:38,949
and they hung out at home,
543
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:40,751
watched some TV,
and went to bed.
544
00:28:40,853 --> 00:28:43,253
With Andy saying he's at
545
00:28:43,355 --> 00:28:45,189
his girlfriend's at 9:00 P.M.
546
00:28:45,291 --> 00:28:47,891
And Justin killed a 3:20 A.M.,
547
00:28:47,993 --> 00:28:51,128
it's still possible that Andy
had opportunity to sneak away
548
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:53,597
from his girlfriend's place
and kill Justin.
549
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:57,334
We need
to establish that he was in fact
550
00:28:57,436 --> 00:29:00,070
at his girlfriend's house,
but at this point,
551
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,873
Andy wegener is still
high on our list
552
00:29:02,975 --> 00:29:04,108
as far as suspects.
553
00:29:05,644 --> 00:29:07,778
In any circumstance
where you have two mutually
554
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,180
strong suspects,
you can't move forward
555
00:29:10,282 --> 00:29:13,117
until one or the other
is eliminated.
556
00:29:14,987 --> 00:29:16,420
As detectives are wrapping up
557
00:29:16,522 --> 00:29:18,422
their interview
with Andy wegener,
558
00:29:18,524 --> 00:29:19,690
they receive
the search warrant
559
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:21,091
for David moffitt's home.
560
00:29:22,795 --> 00:29:25,095
David still lived
at home with his parents.
561
00:29:25,197 --> 00:29:28,932
He came from a pretty
well-to-do family.
562
00:29:29,034 --> 00:29:30,434
We were able
to conduct a search
563
00:29:30,536 --> 00:29:32,202
at the moffitt residence.
564
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:34,138
No one was home.
565
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,307
Any time you conduct a search,
566
00:29:37,409 --> 00:29:39,510
you're gonna look for any kind
of evidence that's related to
567
00:29:39,612 --> 00:29:41,678
the crime --
we're gonna look for weapons,
568
00:29:41,781 --> 00:29:43,947
we're gonna look
for ammunition,
569
00:29:44,049 --> 00:29:47,651
anything that could lead US
back to that homicide.
570
00:29:49,088 --> 00:29:50,888
Detectives quickly uncover
571
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,590
an important new piece
of evidence
572
00:29:53,692 --> 00:29:54,558
in the basement,
573
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:58,162
we found a bill of sale
for a firearm,
574
00:29:58,264 --> 00:30:01,665
specifically, a 9-millimeter
automatic firearm like
575
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:04,635
the one that is involved
in the homicide.
576
00:30:04,737 --> 00:30:07,738
Interestingly, though,
on that bill of sale for that
577
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,006
9-millimeter gun,
578
00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:11,708
the seller was a gentleman by
the name of drew bahlmann,
579
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:14,645
and the purchaser
on that bill of sale
580
00:30:14,747 --> 00:30:16,380
was Andy wegener.
581
00:30:16,482 --> 00:30:19,783
Why does Andy wegener's name
keep popping up in this case?
582
00:30:19,885 --> 00:30:23,887
We've got this receipt
that we can't really,
583
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:25,689
you know, get a good answer
on that's found
584
00:30:25,791 --> 00:30:28,292
at the crash site
for the oil change.
585
00:30:28,394 --> 00:30:29,993
Now we have this bill
of sale for
586
00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:32,029
a for a 9-millimeter gun
found in
587
00:30:32,131 --> 00:30:33,330
David moffitt's basement.
588
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:37,034
Investigators find
drew bahlmann's address
589
00:30:37,136 --> 00:30:38,869
on the bill of sale for the gun,
590
00:30:38,971 --> 00:30:41,772
and they set off to pay him
a visit in the nearby town of
591
00:30:41,874 --> 00:30:43,273
sigourney.
592
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:44,975
Drew bahlmann's the guy
that's gonna solve
593
00:30:45,077 --> 00:30:46,310
this mystery for US.
594
00:30:46,412 --> 00:30:49,880
He's gonna tell US who he saw
when he sold the gun --
595
00:30:49,982 --> 00:30:51,982
if Andy wegener went down
and bought that gun
596
00:30:52,084 --> 00:30:54,585
or if David moffitt went down
and bought that gun.
597
00:30:54,687 --> 00:30:57,221
We met with drew bahlmann,
598
00:30:57,323 --> 00:30:59,523
and he had
no criminal history.
599
00:30:59,625 --> 00:31:03,060
He lived in a small town,
was a school teacher.
600
00:31:03,162 --> 00:31:08,065
Drew, he was legitimately
concerned, very upset,
601
00:31:08,167 --> 00:31:10,467
knowing that a weapon
that he had sold
602
00:31:10,569 --> 00:31:11,668
was involved in a homicide.
603
00:31:11,770 --> 00:31:14,004
He was very cooperative.
604
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:16,340
He was
a meticulous record keeper,
605
00:31:16,442 --> 00:31:18,842
which was of
great value to US.
606
00:31:18,944 --> 00:31:21,812
As part of the sale
of the weapon,
607
00:31:21,914 --> 00:31:24,915
he prepared two copies
of the bill of sale.
608
00:31:25,017 --> 00:31:29,486
So we found the one copy in
David moffitt's garbage can.
609
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,889
He had an identical copy
of that same bill
610
00:31:31,991 --> 00:31:35,726
of sale signed by both him
and Andy wegener.
611
00:31:35,828 --> 00:31:37,995
The other thing that
drew bahlmann gave US,
612
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:40,597
in addition to being
a meticulous note taker,
613
00:31:40,699 --> 00:31:42,232
he is an avid target shooter.
614
00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:43,567
And fortunately for US,
615
00:31:43,636 --> 00:31:47,704
he actually had casings that
he had fired through
616
00:31:47,773 --> 00:31:48,972
the 9-millimeter gun
617
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:51,275
that we believed to be
the murder weapon.
618
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:55,178
So we were able to match
the bullets from the crime scene
619
00:31:55,281 --> 00:31:56,613
where Justin Michael
was killed
620
00:31:56,715 --> 00:31:59,049
to the bullets that
were provided to US
621
00:31:59,151 --> 00:32:01,118
by drew bahlmann.
622
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:03,186
Now we know that we have
our murder weapon
623
00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:04,821
that was sold
by drew bahlmann.
624
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:08,158
Police are
one step closer to
625
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:12,029
uncovering the identity of
Justin Michael's killer.
626
00:32:12,131 --> 00:32:16,400
We showed drew
a picture of Andy wegener,
627
00:32:16,502 --> 00:32:18,268
and we also showed
him a photo lineup
628
00:32:18,370 --> 00:32:20,570
with a picture of
David moffitt.
629
00:32:20,673 --> 00:32:22,806
David moffitt
and Andrew wegener
630
00:32:22,908 --> 00:32:25,709
look very,
very similar.
631
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:28,879
Drew bahlmann pointed
at the first lineup
632
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:31,815
and identified
David moffitt,
633
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:35,519
but he also pointed
to Andy wegener.
634
00:32:35,621 --> 00:32:38,855
Drew wasn't 100%
sure who he had met with.
635
00:32:40,326 --> 00:32:42,826
Witnesses are really
a double-edged sword for
636
00:32:42,928 --> 00:32:44,261
any investigator.
637
00:32:44,363 --> 00:32:46,630
You rely on witnesses
to move an investigation
638
00:32:46,732 --> 00:32:49,132
forward, to prioritize
certain suspects,
639
00:32:49,201 --> 00:32:51,335
to establish a timeline,
but at the same time,
640
00:32:51,437 --> 00:32:54,871
eyewitness evidence is
notoriously unreliable.
641
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:55,872
With drew bahlmann
642
00:32:55,975 --> 00:32:58,442
having ided both David
and Andy as
643
00:32:58,544 --> 00:33:01,845
the purchaser of the gun
used to kill Justin Michael,
644
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:05,415
his fiancee, Angie, is
ruled out as a suspect.
645
00:33:05,517 --> 00:33:07,818
But even with this promising
new lead,
646
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,420
the investigation
is at a crossroads.
647
00:33:10,522 --> 00:33:11,755
And this case was odd,
648
00:33:11,857 --> 00:33:15,125
because we couldn't
connect the dots.
649
00:33:15,227 --> 00:33:18,128
You know, whoever was committing
this crime had the intention
650
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:20,230
of throwing US off base.
651
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:21,765
We don't usually have that,
652
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:24,801
where it's false leads,
for lack of a better term.
653
00:33:24,903 --> 00:33:27,804
We're not sure
what's going on here,
654
00:33:27,906 --> 00:33:30,307
but we're gonna find out
who did this.
655
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:37,314
656
00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:42,886
In the murder of
Justin Michael,
657
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:45,889
detectives have two suspects
on their radar --
658
00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:49,059
Andy wegener
and David moffitt.
659
00:33:49,161 --> 00:33:51,661
They need to identify
which one is the killer.
660
00:33:53,065 --> 00:33:55,065
In the nearby town
of sigourney,
661
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:58,035
they have one more piece of
evidence to look into.
662
00:33:58,137 --> 00:34:01,405
It could be the key
to solving the case.
663
00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:03,807
One of the requirements
that drew bahlmann had for
664
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:06,476
selling this gun was to make
sure that the sale took place
665
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:11,148
in a public place, so it would
be recorded should anything
666
00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:12,916
go wrong.
667
00:34:13,018 --> 00:34:15,185
One of the receipts
that we found at David moffitt's
668
00:34:15,287 --> 00:34:17,287
residence was a receipt
669
00:34:17,356 --> 00:34:20,557
dated may 4th from
a convenience store
670
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:22,592
out of sigourney, Iowa.
671
00:34:22,694 --> 00:34:25,529
A lemonade was purchased
along with a candy bar
672
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:28,465
on may 4th at 6:13 hours.
673
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:31,134
That is the same date
and time
674
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:33,670
that drew bahlmann
sold the weapon.
675
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:35,739
Fortunately for US,
the inside of
676
00:34:35,841 --> 00:34:38,208
that store had
a surveillance camera.
677
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,845
Detectives turn to
the surveillance cameras in
678
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:45,682
the hopes of spotting David
moffitt or Andy wegener.
679
00:34:45,784 --> 00:34:48,618
After scouring hundreds
of hours of footage,
680
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,488
they find the missing
piece of the puzzle.
681
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:53,657
We were able to
positively identify
682
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:56,059
this person
as David moffitt.
683
00:34:56,161 --> 00:34:58,795
At that point,
we knew that David moffitt
684
00:34:58,897 --> 00:35:00,430
was the person who
purchased the weapon.
685
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:04,901
The critical value
of cctv or video evidence
686
00:35:05,003 --> 00:35:07,304
is that it is
an impartial witness.
687
00:35:07,406 --> 00:35:09,739
It can provide
a historic record
688
00:35:09,842 --> 00:35:12,776
of a timeline that
is unassailable,
689
00:35:12,878 --> 00:35:14,277
that is undisputable,
690
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:16,913
unlike eyewitness testimony
that is
691
00:35:17,015 --> 00:35:19,649
subject to a lot of problems.
692
00:35:19,751 --> 00:35:21,618
Detectives now know that
693
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,753
David moffitt
acted alone and was
694
00:35:23,856 --> 00:35:26,523
posing as Andy wegener to buy
the gun that killed
695
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,358
Justin Michael.
696
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:31,528
They believe he's the killer,
but to prove it,
697
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:34,131
they'll need more evidence
tying him to the crime.
698
00:35:34,233 --> 00:35:37,234
A second search was conducted
699
00:35:37,336 --> 00:35:39,302
at the moffitt residence.
700
00:35:39,404 --> 00:35:42,873
We found there was tulammo,
701
00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:44,941
which was consistent with both
702
00:35:45,043 --> 00:35:49,179
the tulammo found at
the primary crime scene,
703
00:35:49,281 --> 00:35:53,950
as well as the ammunition
provided US to by drew bahlmann.
704
00:35:54,052 --> 00:35:55,619
In the bathroom trash,
705
00:35:55,754 --> 00:35:59,956
we found recon notes,
notes that were specifically
706
00:36:00,058 --> 00:36:01,825
for Justin Michael's
neighborhood,
707
00:36:01,927 --> 00:36:04,794
notes that would indicate
certain times that
708
00:36:04,897 --> 00:36:07,931
neighbors were home,
what time lights came off,
709
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:10,167
things that would put David
moffitt there watching
710
00:36:10,269 --> 00:36:12,235
Justin Michael's house.
711
00:36:12,337 --> 00:36:15,739
Those notes indicated
that David moffitt
712
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:17,307
had put some planning
into this.
713
00:36:19,144 --> 00:36:22,279
Then police come
across a possible attempt to
714
00:36:22,381 --> 00:36:23,547
conceal evidence.
715
00:36:23,649 --> 00:36:27,050
We'd found a tote
in the basement
716
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:29,986
that was not there
the previous day,
717
00:36:30,088 --> 00:36:33,623
and inside that tote was
a laptop computer.
718
00:36:33,725 --> 00:36:36,326
And the red tub
also contained about
719
00:36:36,428 --> 00:36:39,029
two inches of water in
the bottom of it.
720
00:36:39,131 --> 00:36:41,331
It appeared that it was
an attempt
721
00:36:41,433 --> 00:36:45,001
to eliminate whatever
information was on the computer.
722
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,904
Fortunately,
our lab gurus were able to
723
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:50,674
get this laptop dried out
724
00:36:50,776 --> 00:36:52,876
and in a functioning state.
725
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:56,079
We found a substantial
amount of evidence
726
00:36:56,181 --> 00:36:59,149
that specifically tied
David moffitt to the execution
727
00:36:59,251 --> 00:37:01,218
of this crime.
728
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,755
The first file that was found
on the computer was a forged
729
00:37:05,857 --> 00:37:11,194
driver's license that had
David moffitt's picture on it,
730
00:37:11,296 --> 00:37:15,432
but the license was created
in the name of Andy wegener.
731
00:37:15,534 --> 00:37:17,767
The evidence
suggested that David moffitt
732
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:20,203
put a lot of planning
into this,
733
00:37:20,305 --> 00:37:22,539
and this was all
an elaborate ploy
734
00:37:22,641 --> 00:37:25,208
to frame Andy wegener.
735
00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:27,611
So at that point,
once we find this computer,
736
00:37:27,713 --> 00:37:28,878
it all makes sense.
737
00:37:28,981 --> 00:37:33,116
Then Andy wegener is pretty
much exonerated in this case.
738
00:37:36,288 --> 00:37:39,122
Stockdale: One may want to frame
someone else, say Andy,
739
00:37:39,224 --> 00:37:41,324
for the murder
so he won't get caught.
740
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:44,361
And perhaps he wants to get
rid of all the competition
741
00:37:44,463 --> 00:37:47,097
so that he's either
the last person standing for
742
00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:50,233
Angie's affections, or he wants
to send a message to
743
00:37:50,335 --> 00:37:54,337
Angie and everybody that
she's been involved with.
744
00:37:54,439 --> 00:37:57,107
Detectives then
uncover even more revealing
745
00:37:57,209 --> 00:37:59,943
evidence connecting
David moffitt to the crime.
746
00:38:00,045 --> 00:38:04,614
Once David's laptop was
examined, we were able to look
747
00:38:04,716 --> 00:38:06,850
at all the Internet web searches
748
00:38:06,952 --> 00:38:08,752
that he had made.
749
00:38:08,854 --> 00:38:12,188
You could see
during the forensic analysis
750
00:38:12,291 --> 00:38:14,824
kind of the beginnings of
a search history of
751
00:38:14,926 --> 00:38:18,962
David moffitt searching Angie
Ver Huel, David moffitt,
752
00:38:19,031 --> 00:38:20,897
you know, typing in
the name Justin Michael,
753
00:38:20,999 --> 00:38:22,465
things like that.
754
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:26,169
And then days prior to
the homicide, the search,
755
00:38:26,271 --> 00:38:30,874
history ratcheting up,
in a sense,
756
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,043
we learned that
David moffitt had
757
00:38:33,145 --> 00:38:36,813
searched how
to commit a murder,
758
00:38:36,915 --> 00:38:41,051
what are the confession times
at a local catholic church,
759
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:44,120
and the craziest one was
the murderiest murder guide
760
00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:46,289
you'll ever need.
761
00:38:46,391 --> 00:38:50,026
The Internet searches
revealed that David moffitt
762
00:38:50,128 --> 00:38:51,628
was trying to get away
with murder.
763
00:38:53,065 --> 00:38:54,731
Stockdale:
What stands out for me is
764
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:57,100
the clear level of planning,
765
00:38:57,202 --> 00:38:58,968
and forethought
that was invested
766
00:38:59,071 --> 00:39:00,637
into committing
this crime.
767
00:39:00,739 --> 00:39:02,806
This was not a crime of rage.
768
00:39:02,908 --> 00:39:06,009
The level of planning and
plotting that this takes shows
769
00:39:06,111 --> 00:39:09,079
that there's a level of
instrumentality here in
770
00:39:09,181 --> 00:39:10,413
this offense.
771
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:12,916
With the evidence
now stacked against him,
772
00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:16,720
David moffitt is arrested for
the murder of Justin Michael.
773
00:39:16,822 --> 00:39:19,089
So when
we arrested David moffitt,
774
00:39:19,191 --> 00:39:22,092
David moffitt
had a blank stare,
775
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:23,993
no reaction whatsoever.
776
00:39:24,096 --> 00:39:25,795
It was like he'd been caught.
777
00:39:27,332 --> 00:39:29,466
Looking over this case,
778
00:39:29,568 --> 00:39:32,001
jealousy, in my mind,
is the motive here.
779
00:39:32,104 --> 00:39:35,405
And David moffitt was
violently jealous.
780
00:39:38,543 --> 00:39:40,744
Detectives are now
able to piece together
781
00:39:40,846 --> 00:39:43,880
Justin Michael's
final 24 hours.
782
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:46,149
The night Justin
Michael was murdered,
783
00:39:46,251 --> 00:39:48,318
they had all got home
about 10 P.M.
784
00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:51,020
And went to bed
approximately 11 P.M.
785
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:52,789
Just after 3 A.M.,
786
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:55,225
David moffitt entered
Justin Michael's house
787
00:39:55,327 --> 00:39:57,460
with murder on his mind.
788
00:39:57,562 --> 00:39:59,162
On the night Justin
was killed,
789
00:39:59,264 --> 00:40:01,331
the perpetrator is able to
make entry through
790
00:40:01,433 --> 00:40:03,099
the back deck door.
791
00:40:05,036 --> 00:40:07,103
We then believe he went to
the front of the house
792
00:40:07,205 --> 00:40:09,305
and staged that area
793
00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:11,007
to make it look as though
it was some type of
794
00:40:11,109 --> 00:40:13,710
a burglary that was
taking place.
795
00:40:13,845 --> 00:40:16,079
But this was not a burglary.
796
00:40:16,181 --> 00:40:18,515
This was a targeted attack.
797
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:22,018
David moffitt
then came down the hallway,
798
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:23,820
entered the wrong
bedroom where
799
00:40:23,922 --> 00:40:25,488
Marie Michael was staying.
800
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:30,927
801
00:40:31,029 --> 00:40:33,029
At that point,
he realized that that was
802
00:40:33,131 --> 00:40:35,865
not the person that he was
going after.
803
00:40:35,967 --> 00:40:38,802
Moffitt then goes
across the hall to
804
00:40:38,904 --> 00:40:41,871
the master bedroom where
Angie and Justin were.
805
00:40:45,577 --> 00:40:48,778
Justin's laying in the bed,
Angie's laying in the bed,
806
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,814
and there's four shots
that go into Justin.
807
00:40:53,418 --> 00:40:56,186
The bullets pass through Justin,
through the pillow,
808
00:40:56,288 --> 00:40:57,687
through his mattress,
809
00:40:57,789 --> 00:40:59,422
and one of the bullets
actually passed through
810
00:40:59,524 --> 00:41:00,924
the wall and exited the home.
811
00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:06,629
The killer was certainly
looking for Justin,
812
00:41:06,731 --> 00:41:08,264
and the killer got Justin.
813
00:41:08,366 --> 00:41:10,200
We believe, ultimately,
814
00:41:10,302 --> 00:41:12,836
the gun had been thrown off
a bridge into a lake.
815
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:18,942
David moffitt's car
crash was his fatal error.
816
00:41:19,044 --> 00:41:22,679
Looking back now, if he would
have never crashed,
817
00:41:22,781 --> 00:41:25,381
he might have gotten away
with murder.
818
00:41:25,484 --> 00:41:28,718
In July 2015,
David moffitt is
819
00:41:28,820 --> 00:41:30,487
found guilty of
first-degree murder
820
00:41:32,290 --> 00:41:35,859
and sentenced to life
in prison without parole.
821
00:41:35,961 --> 00:41:37,827
It was absolutely tragic.
822
00:41:37,929 --> 00:41:40,096
Justin certainly
didn't deserve this.
823
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:43,299
It just -- that's what
makes this hard.
824
00:41:43,401 --> 00:41:46,569
You know, you can't reconcile
things like that in
825
00:41:46,671 --> 00:41:48,605
your head and have it
make any kind of sense.
826
00:41:48,707 --> 00:41:51,508
The only reconciliation
you get in a case like this
827
00:41:51,610 --> 00:41:53,710
is getting a conviction
and holding
828
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:55,011
the person responsible.
829
00:41:57,215 --> 00:41:59,749
I really feel
for Justin's mother.
830
00:42:01,453 --> 00:42:02,418
As a mother myself,
831
00:42:02,521 --> 00:42:04,521
I can't imagine
losing a child.
832
00:42:04,623 --> 00:42:08,124
And so, your heart just breaks
for her when she's talking
833
00:42:08,226 --> 00:42:11,427
about being there the night
her son's murdered
834
00:42:11,530 --> 00:42:15,164
and, you know, seeing the crime
scene is just horrific
835
00:42:15,267 --> 00:42:16,266
for any mother --
836
00:42:16,368 --> 00:42:18,835
you don't expect to outlive
your children ever.
837
00:42:20,772 --> 00:42:23,072
We may never
know why David moffitt
838
00:42:23,174 --> 00:42:24,307
killed Justin Michael.
839
00:42:24,409 --> 00:42:27,844
Was it in hopes that he would
get back with Angie?
840
00:42:27,946 --> 00:42:32,148
He would get a second chance?
Or he was just pure evil?
