This is an execution.

This was a planned murder.

The killer came into this house

looking for Justin and got Justin.

A brutal killing.

Justin Michael was brutally gunned down,

and Angie Ver Huel was unharmed.

It just didn't make sense.

A dark mystery with shocking twists.

The motives could be infidelity,

jealousy, is there some type of love triangle gone bad?

He was face-to-face with the guy that he could say,

"that's the guy that took my girlfriend away from me."

Maybe it just kind of picked a scab.

Maybe that's when his anger toward

Justin Michael began to build.

The truth will be revealed.

Most victims know their killer.

You're almost always gonna find a connection.

There's some tie back to the victim.

The key to the investigation is finding that tie.

Every day in North America,

dozens of people are murdered.

The key to solving the toughest of these homicides

lies in the final 24 hours of the victim's life.

To crack the case,

detectives must reconstruct that critical timeline,

the minutes and hours containing evidence

that can help unlock the mystery

and catch the killer.

Some 15 miles north of des moines, Iowa,

just off the highway and down some gravel roads lies

the town of grimes --

though if you blink, you just might miss it.

Grimes is a very small town,

surrounded by nothing but farmland.

You have the old brick downtown area,

and then out for miles in every direction

you have farm fields.

Grimes is very quiet.

It has that midwestern charm.

It has low crime rate.

The last violent crime was 42 years ago.

Most of the crimes are property crimes,

thefts, burglaries.

But then one spring night,

the residents of this peaceful farming community are awoken by

the sound of sirens.

When you get a shots fired trip,

especially in the grimes area,

a lot of the times, it's just people doing fireworks.

You get backfire from a car.

We've had transformers blow.

Homicide?

Very rarely.

When you see a lot of authorities on the scene

in grimes, Iowa,

you start thinking this probably isn't just

a normal crime, it's a lot more serious.

The victim is 30-year-old Justin Michael.

Justin was a good-looking, bright young man.

Family and friends loved to be around him.

He had a sense of adventure, a great job.

Nobody had an unkind word to say about him.

He was always willing to lend a hand, um...

Just a good, good guy.

Angie and Justin were engaged to be married.

Angie had bought her wedding dress,

so it's heartbreaking to know they were that close to

the wedding, and then their lives were shattered.

Tasked with investigating Justin Michael's

murder is detective Robyn Bartholomew.

I was called out roughly 3:30 in the morning

and was notified of a shooting.

Once on scene, I observed a white male,

early thirties, laying on his back in the bed.

There was a significant amount of blood.

He had four gunshot wounds,

three to the head and one to the neck.

The victim appeared to be gunned down in his sleep.

The person that shot Justin was clearly

standing right over the top of him,

shooting almost downward into his head.

The bullets pass through Justin, through the pillow,

through his mattress,

and one of the bullets actually passed through

the wall and exited the home.

Justin Michael's fiancee, Angie Ver Huel,

was laying right next to Justin Michael when he was shot,

and Angie Ver Huel was unharmed.

Angie said she was asleep in bed.

She heard several shots

and immediately woke and saw what appeared

to be a dark figure exiting the bedroom.

The description of the intruder was so vague.

Average-size person, unknown male or female,

dressed in all dark clothing.

We have no idea who we're looking for.

Detective Bartholomew must now

track down Justin's killer by

focusing on the last 24 hours of his life,

starting with the crime scene.

Shell casings were located

in the bed next to the victim.

I had never seen the shell casings before.

They were tulammo, which I later learned

is a Russian manufactured steel casing ammo.

The weapon used was a 9-millimeter automatic.

Whenever you have a murder involving a firearm,

ballistics is a very important forensic component of

an investigation.

Whenever you see a particular brand of ammunition show up

that is atypical, that points police in the direction of

a specific type of buyer.

That said, the more rare a brand or a make or model

of ammunition,

the much smaller your potential pool of suspects,

and they can be much harder to find.

Police comb through the house

looking for more clues.

It was a small, well-kept house.

There was no signs of forced entry.

The only thing that appeared, um,

out of order was some electronic equipment

that had been pulled from an entertainment center.

Then something unusual catches the detective's eye.

There was a piece of clothing that was left there in

the living room that did not belong to anyone in the house.

It was a construction yellow hoodie.

I thought that was odd.

In the preliminary stages of an investigation,

you can't rule out a burglary gone wrong.

But after examining the scene,

nothing was missing from the house.

The house wasn't ransacked.

To me, it was a poor attempt to stage a burglary.

Staging is any attempt by an offender to create

an alternate scenario,

to move things around in a way to misdirect the police.

Whenever you see staging at a murder scene or any

crime scene for that matter,

it will often reflect the fact that the offender knows they're

going to be the prime suspect,

they have some personal connection to the victim,

so by introducing staging, or countermeasures as we call it,

it creates an alternate scenario

to frame someone in particular.

It did not seem it was some type of a burglary

that was taking place.

It appeared that this was a targeted attack.

This was somebody that came into this house

looking for Justin and got Justin.

It's very unusual that someone's gonna enter a house,

gun down one person, and leave witnesses.

In many cases, leaving a witness behind

would have to have some other pragmatic purpose.

In other cases, we see

where an offender will murder one victim,

because they have a very specific motive.

That doesn't necessarily mean they have it in them to

take the life of an innocent bystander or a witness.

In reality,

some killers just aren't that cold-blooded.

To get more answers, the investigators turn

to the other witness at the scene,

Justin's mother, Marie.

Marie Michael was in town for wedding-planning purposes,

so she was actually staying at the residence with Justin

and Angie.

Marie was in a guest room across from Justin

and Angie's room.

At approximately 3:20 in the morning,

she was awoken by the door opening.

Marie Michael told US

the gun that was used had a laser sight on it,

and she was woken up by the light shining in her eyes.

She obviously was very scared, pretended to remain asleep.

At one point, she took a peek,

and she sees a figure in the doorway clad in all black.

You know, nothing to indicate who it was.

In very short order then, she heard four rapid gunshots.

911 calls came in by Angie Ver Huel

and Marie Michael at

3:22 in the morning.

We were able to establish that the homicide occurred

at approximately 3:20 in the morning.

But who would want to kill Justin Michael, and why?

Justin Michael was brutally gunned down

and Angie Ver Huel was unharmed.

It just didn't make sense.

It was something that was suspicious.

Angie said as soon as the shots happened,

she immediately jumped up out of the bed.

The fact that, you know, she didn't get blood on her,

you know, maybe from the way the gunshots occurred,

all of the splatter went opposite of where

Angie was lying.

It's not out of the realm of possibility,

but that's incredibly unusual.

When you examine crime scenes,

and especially when you have blood evidence,

it tells a story.

And with the lack of blood on Angie Ver Huel,

to me, that was a red flag.

In these types of cases, you really want to look at

the person closest to the victim -- more times

than not, it's gonna be a significant other

or a family member that is involved in the homicide.

I want to take a closer look at Angie.

With suspicion swirling around Angie Ver Huel

in the brutal killing of her fiance,

Justin Michael,

detectives bring her down to the station for questioning.

Angie,

by virtue of being Justin's fiancee and being at

the crime scene unharmed, is a person of interest.

As detectives interview Angie,

she's surprisingly unemotional.

I have no idea.

One would think that you'd be completely shattered that

your fiance was brutally gunned down right next to you.

Angie was, very calm.

She wasn't upset. She wasn't crying.

Her demeanor was a little suspicious.

Um...

Everyone responds differently to grief and distress.

So in order to calibrate a person's response

to determine if it's suspicious or not,

like we see in this case, we would have to first get to

know every person of interest,

their background, their habits, their associates,

to understand if a theatrical response is out of character

or if that's actually how they just operate day to day.

This was a planned murder.

Angie survived the shooting, she's laying

right next to Justin when it occurs.

So why is she still alive?

What's the motivation behind this murder?

Detectives question Angie about

how she and Justin spent his last 24 hours.

The day before Justin Michael was murdered,

they met for dinner at Justin Michael's sister's house.

Angie said there was nothing unusual.

Everything was normal.

They were busy making preparations

for the wedding, planning.

They were happy, and they got home about 10 P.M.,

and went to bed at approximately 11 P.M.

Detectives press Angie for more details about

Justin's life.

Trying to figure out why something like this happens,

you start looking at backgrounds,

you start looking at all of the people that Justin knows.

There was no indication that Justin was involved in drugs.

There was no indication that Justin was involved in

gambling or any of the things of that nature.

You always want to look into, you know,

was there something in Justin's background that was

the cause of this homicide?

There was really nothing.

And also, there was nothing noteworthy in Justin Michael's

past relationships that would indicate somebody wanting

to harm him.

Investigators look closer at

Angie's relationship with Justin Michael.

They want to know if there were problems between them.

Angie had met Justin in 2013.

They hit it off so well, she had moved in very quickly.

She described their relationship as a great relationship.

There was no, stress,

fights, no issues.

They were both excited to get married.

Angie said that their relationship was solid.

People generally don't kill people just for

the sake of killing people unless they are

completely deranged.

Most victims know their killer.

You're almost always going to find a connection.

There's -- there's some tie back to the victim.

The key of the investigation is finding that tie.

With Angie still in their crosshairs,

investigators dig deeper into her past relationships.

During the course of Angie Ver Huel's interview,

one of those things I asked about is, you know, who are

your ex-boyfriends?

Who are the people that you've been involved with that could

be responsible for this?

The first name she mentioned

was a guy by the name of Andy wegener.

Andy wegener was a funeral director here in town.

He was Angie's ex-boyfriend.

It was a long-term relationship,

and they were pretty serious and lived together,

and eventually, they broke up.

At that point, Andy's a person of interest, he's somebody

that has

got a history with Angie, so we need to know what he's

been up to, and we've got to figure out where he was,

what he was doing, and see if he has any motivation

to be involved in this.

When pressed on who else might have wanted

to harm Justin,

Angie recalls a strange incident

from a few months back.

Angie had talked about an incident

involving her vehicle where it was vandalized.

The windshield was cracked, three windows were broke out,

and someone had keyed her car.

At the time, it was thought that

kids in the neighborhood had damaged her vehicle.

But after learning the amount of damage to Angie's car,

it seemed very personal.

The vandalized vehicle and the murder of

Justin Michael could be related.

Detectives ask Angie if she has any ideas

as to who might be behind the vandalism.

She mentions that for a very brief period of time,

she dated this guy named Dave.

Angie talked about meeting up with him

a half a dozen times, but nothing serious.

It was just more of a hookup.

According to Angie,

when she ended things with Dave,

he didn't take it well and sent her several angry texts.

So at that point, Dave is on our radar,

but we still don't know who Dave is.

For a period of time, she could not remember Dave's last name.

I thought that was odd.

We were trying to ask more details or something

that would help her remember Dave's last name.

As we pressed forward, out of the blue,

she comes up with...

We already had Andy wegener's name,

so we're running a criminal history check.

We're doing those things with Andy wegener,

but now Dave moffitt is somebody that we need to see

what's going on.

And then Angie said David and Justin had worked together

at Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo is a huge company,

I mean, 10 plus thousand employees in polk county,

and by pure happenstance,

David moffitt then gets assigned to the very team

within the mortgage division where Justin Michael worked,

and both of these guys, Justin and David,

had dated Angie Ver Huel.

So he was face-to-face with the guy that he could say,

"that's the guy that took my girlfriend away from me."

Maybe it just kind of picked the scab.

Maybe that's when his anger

toward Justin Michael began to build.

This connection is most interesting,

knowing that

Angie had a relationship with David moffitt.

David moffitt has a work relationship with

Justin Michael.

Is there some type of love triangle gone bad?

Jealousy, in my mind, could be the motive here.

Jealousy is one of the most destructive emotions.

We need to find David moffitt and Angie's ex-boyfriend,

Andy wegener -- we need to talk to these guys.

We had to determine if they were

involved in the murder of Angie's fiancee.

In the murder of Justin Michael,

detectives are pursuing two new leads

from his fiancee Angie's past.

Knowing that

Angie had a relationship with David moffitt,

and Andy wegener is Angie's long-term ex-boyfriend,

we want to dig a little deeper

and find out everything we can about them.

We're checking if David moffitt has a criminal history.

Does he have a weapons permit?

While checking on David moffitt,

we learned that David moffitt's vehicle was impounded

the same night as the homicide.

I needed to find out why.

They learn that David moffitt

had an accident the night of the homicide,

approximately five miles from Justin Michael's home.

At 3:45, shortly after the homicide,

within the same hour

David moffitt's in an accident.

Having David moffitt's name pop up at that time

in that location is not something we expected to see.

This is the piece of the puzzle we're looking for.

I was dispatched to that car accident.

When I arrived on scene, it was...

About 0400, about approximately 40 minutes

after the homicide took place.

On a gravel road, I come up on a red Ford Taurus

that struck this telephone pole.

The front end of the car was smashed in.

When I give the plate to dispatch, and they

advise me it belongs to a guy named David moffitt,

I don't see anybody in the area.

And as soon as I'm starting to get back into

my car is when the white male subject comes out of

the ditch from the north and he says, "I need help."

He said his name was David moffitt.

He just says he was out for

a joyride, and he got in a car accident.

Deputy tart was aware at this time that, five miles away,

way have a ho -- active homicide scene going on.

So while not immediately apparent that these two things

could be related,

it certainly got his suspicion up.

The first thing I notice is just

how much sweat that he's covered in, he's --

from head to toe, covered in sweat.

I asked him what he's doing

in the grimes area.

At that moment, he became really defensive.

I couldn't find insurance on the car.

So I made the decision that I was just gonna impound the car.

My gut was telling me that he knew more

about what was actually happening, about the homicide.

So I got all the information that we needed in case

we needed to come back and talk to him,

which I felt, at some point, we were probably going to.

David moffitt lives on the other side of the county.

He lives 26, 27 miles away from this area.

So, barring some unusual circumstance,

there's really not much reason for him to be over in that area

at four o'clock in the morning.

This startling new information

that places David moffitt both on the timeline

and near the crime scene could be the break

investigators have been looking for.

Knowing that Angie dated David moffitt,

and David moffitt's vehicle was impounded

the same night of the homicide,

is that coincidence?

Maybe, maybe not.

There's just too many coincidences

that start to stack up in this case.

He works with the victim.

He's in a motor vehicle collision near the scene

of the crime -- that creates a nexus that is undeniable

and that merits investigation, full bore.

So Dave goes from being an interesting character that

we need to find out about to the top of our list

in very short order.

Detectives head to the scene of David moffitt's

car accident,

hoping to find evidence that will connect him to

Justin's homicide.

We have a lead.

We can't get out there fast enough.

Searching the area where David moffitt crashed,

we found some incredible items.

We found a shoebox that contained ear protection,

a flashlight, and camo makeup.

So a lot of things that are associated with concealing

your identity and committing a crime such as this murder.

As detectives continue to comb the area,

they gather even more crucial evidence.

We also find

a gun magazine with ammo.

It's tulammo.

It's a match to the shell casings

found at the crime scene.

This is a big breakthrough.

But then,

detectives make an unexpected discovery.

Along with the magazine,

ammo, flashlight was a receipt

for an oil change in the name of Andy wegener.

What in the world is going on here?

Andrew wegener's already on our radar,

because, you know, he's Angie's ex-boyfriend.

We have to figure out how in the world this receipt

ends up at the crash scene,

you know, where David moffitt's crashed his car.

It just didn't make sense.

Did Andy wegener kill Justin Michael?

Did David moffitt kill Justin Michael?

Were they in it together?

We've certainly seen collusion in homicide scenes.

But, you know, by all accounts,

other than the Angie factor, that they had both dated her,

there's no reason that David moffitt

and Andrew wegener would have crossed paths.

We've got to figure out what

the connection is between these two.

The discovery of Andrew wegener's name

on a receipt at

the scene of David moffitt's car accident

five miles from where Justin Michael was killed has

turned the investigation on its head.

These two are tied to this crime scene.

Are these two guys working together?

Are they working with Angie?

I need to do some digging.

While detectives wait on a search warrant

for David moffitt's house,

they bring Andy wegener in for questioning.

Andy wegener and Angie Ver Huel

lived together for three years.

When we interviewed Andrew wegener, he had moved on.

He had a new girlfriend.

Andy wegener said that he was aware that Angie was

engaged but did not know to who she was engaged to.

We asked Andy wegener if he knew David moffitt.

He did not.

Andy claimed that after their breakup,

he didn't stay in contact with Angie.

During interviews,

it's very common that people minimize

and don't tell the truth.

Andy denies having any involvement in the crime,

but detectives press on, looking for answers.

When Andy was asked about a receipt for

an oil change in his name,

he didn't really have an explanation to

why or what had happened to it.

He said he recalled getting an oil change and thought

that the receipt was still in his vehicle or at home.

When people are interviewed, there's many reasons

why they may be evasive.

Sometimes they're trying to conceal information which isn't

connected to the crime

but maybe portrays them in a negative light.

Sometimes they're taken aback and they're confused by

the information that they're being presented with,

not because they're guilty, but just because that's their

way of responding when they're in a stressful situation.

Detectives question Andy about his whereabouts

during the time Justin was killed.

Andy had talked about leaving work about

4 P.M., he had went home, took care of a couple things,

and then ultimately ended up staying overnight

at his girlfriend's house.

She lives in another community several miles away.

They had gone to dinner that night,

and they hung out at home,

watched some TV, and went to bed.

With Andy saying he's at

his girlfriend's at 9:00 P.M.

And Justin killed a 3:20 A.M.,

it's still possible that Andy had opportunity to sneak away

from his girlfriend's place and kill Justin.

We need to establish that he was in fact

at his girlfriend's house, but at this point,

Andy wegener is still high on our list

as far as suspects.

In any circumstance where you have two mutually

strong suspects, you can't move forward

until one or the other is eliminated.

As detectives are wrapping up

their interview with Andy wegener,

they receive the search warrant

for David moffitt's home.

David still lived at home with his parents.

He came from a pretty well-to-do family.

We were able to conduct a search

at the moffitt residence.

No one was home.

Any time you conduct a search,

you're gonna look for any kind of evidence that's related to

the crime -- we're gonna look for weapons,

we're gonna look for ammunition,

anything that could lead US back to that homicide.

Detectives quickly uncover

an important new piece of evidence

in the basement,

we found a bill of sale for a firearm,

specifically, a 9-millimeter automatic firearm like

the one that is involved in the homicide.

Interestingly, though, on that bill of sale for that

9-millimeter gun,

the seller was a gentleman by the name of drew bahlmann,

and the purchaser on that bill of sale

was Andy wegener.

Why does Andy wegener's name keep popping up in this case?

We've got this receipt that we can't really,

you know, get a good answer on that's found

at the crash site for the oil change.

Now we have this bill of sale for

a for a 9-millimeter gun found in

David moffitt's basement.

Investigators find drew bahlmann's address

on the bill of sale for the gun,

and they set off to pay him a visit in the nearby town of

sigourney.

Drew bahlmann's the guy that's gonna solve

this mystery for US.

He's gonna tell US who he saw when he sold the gun --

if Andy wegener went down and bought that gun

or if David moffitt went down and bought that gun.

We met with drew bahlmann,

and he had no criminal history.

He lived in a small town, was a school teacher.

Drew, he was legitimately concerned, very upset,

knowing that a weapon that he had sold

was involved in a homicide.

He was very cooperative.

He was a meticulous record keeper,

which was of great value to US.

As part of the sale of the weapon,

he prepared two copies of the bill of sale.

So we found the one copy in David moffitt's garbage can.

He had an identical copy of that same bill

of sale signed by both him and Andy wegener.

The other thing that drew bahlmann gave US,

in addition to being a meticulous note taker,

he is an avid target shooter.

And fortunately for US,

he actually had casings that he had fired through

the 9-millimeter gun

that we believed to be the murder weapon.

So we were able to match the bullets from the crime scene

where Justin Michael was killed

to the bullets that were provided to US

by drew bahlmann.

Now we know that we have our murder weapon

that was sold by drew bahlmann.

Police are one step closer to

uncovering the identity of Justin Michael's killer.

We showed drew a picture of Andy wegener,

and we also showed him a photo lineup

with a picture of David moffitt.

David moffitt and Andrew wegener

look very, very similar.

Drew bahlmann pointed at the first lineup

and identified David moffitt,

but he also pointed to Andy wegener.

Drew wasn't 100% sure who he had met with.

Witnesses are really a double-edged sword for

any investigator.

You rely on witnesses to move an investigation

forward, to prioritize certain suspects,

to establish a timeline, but at the same time,

eyewitness evidence is notoriously unreliable.

With drew bahlmann

having ided both David and Andy as

the purchaser of the gun used to kill Justin Michael,

his fiancee, Angie, is ruled out as a suspect.

But even with this promising new lead,

the investigation is at a crossroads.

And this case was odd,

because we couldn't connect the dots.

You know, whoever was committing this crime had the intention

of throwing US off base.

We don't usually have that,

where it's false leads, for lack of a better term.

We're not sure what's going on here,

but we're gonna find out who did this.

In the murder of Justin Michael,

detectives have two suspects on their radar --

Andy wegener and David moffitt.

They need to identify which one is the killer.

In the nearby town of sigourney,

they have one more piece of evidence to look into.

It could be the key to solving the case.

One of the requirements that drew bahlmann had for

selling this gun was to make sure that the sale took place

in a public place, so it would be recorded should anything

go wrong.

One of the receipts that we found at David moffitt's

residence was a receipt

dated may 4th from a convenience store

out of sigourney, Iowa.

A lemonade was purchased along with a candy bar

on may 4th at 6:13 hours.

That is the same date and time

that drew bahlmann sold the weapon.

Fortunately for US, the inside of

that store had a surveillance camera.

Detectives turn to the surveillance cameras in

the hopes of spotting David moffitt or Andy wegener.

After scouring hundreds of hours of footage,

they find the missing piece of the puzzle.

We were able to positively identify

this person as David moffitt.

At that point, we knew that David moffitt

was the person who purchased the weapon.

The critical value of cctv or video evidence

is that it is an impartial witness.

It can provide a historic record

of a timeline that is unassailable,

that is undisputable,

unlike eyewitness testimony that is

subject to a lot of problems.

Detectives now know that

David moffitt acted alone and was

posing as Andy wegener to buy the gun that killed

Justin Michael.

They believe he's the killer, but to prove it,

they'll need more evidence tying him to the crime.

A second search was conducted

at the moffitt residence.

We found there was tulammo,

which was consistent with both

the tulammo found at the primary crime scene,

as well as the ammunition provided US to by drew bahlmann.

In the bathroom trash,

we found recon notes, notes that were specifically

for Justin Michael's neighborhood,

notes that would indicate certain times that

neighbors were home, what time lights came off,

things that would put David moffitt there watching

Justin Michael's house.

Those notes indicated that David moffitt

had put some planning into this.

Then police come across a possible attempt to

conceal evidence.

We'd found a tote in the basement

that was not there the previous day,

and inside that tote was a laptop computer.

And the red tub also contained about

two inches of water in the bottom of it.

It appeared that it was an attempt

to eliminate whatever information was on the computer.

Fortunately, our lab gurus were able to

get this laptop dried out

and in a functioning state.

We found a substantial amount of evidence

that specifically tied David moffitt to the execution

of this crime.

The first file that was found on the computer was a forged

driver's license that had David moffitt's picture on it,

but the license was created in the name of Andy wegener.

The evidence suggested that David moffitt

put a lot of planning into this,

and this was all an elaborate ploy

to frame Andy wegener.

So at that point, once we find this computer,

it all makes sense.

Then Andy wegener is pretty much exonerated in this case.

Stockdale: One may want to frame someone else, say Andy,

for the murder so he won't get caught.

And perhaps he wants to get rid of all the competition

so that he's either the last person standing for

Angie's affections, or he wants to send a message to

Angie and everybody that she's been involved with.

Detectives then uncover even more revealing

evidence connecting David moffitt to the crime.

Once David's laptop was examined, we were able to look

at all the Internet web searches

that he had made.

You could see during the forensic analysis

kind of the beginnings of a search history of

David moffitt searching Angie Ver Huel, David moffitt,

you know, typing in the name Justin Michael,

things like that.

And then days prior to the homicide, the search,

history ratcheting up, in a sense,

we learned that David moffitt had

searched how to commit a murder,

what are the confession times at a local catholic church,

and the craziest one was the murderiest murder guide

you'll ever need.

The Internet searches revealed that David moffitt

was trying to get away with murder.

Stockdale: What stands out for me is

the clear level of planning,

and forethought that was invested

into committing this crime.

This was not a crime of rage.

The level of planning and plotting that this takes shows

that there's a level of instrumentality here in

this offense.

With the evidence now stacked against him,

David moffitt is arrested for the murder of Justin Michael.

So when we arrested David moffitt,

David moffitt had a blank stare,

no reaction whatsoever.

It was like he'd been caught.

Looking over this case,

jealousy, in my mind, is the motive here.

And David moffitt was violently jealous.

Detectives are now able to piece together

Justin Michael's final 24 hours.

The night Justin Michael was murdered,

they had all got home about 10 P.M.

And went to bed approximately 11 P.M.

Just after 3 A.M.,

David moffitt entered Justin Michael's house

with murder on his mind.

On the night Justin was killed,

the perpetrator is able to make entry through

the back deck door.

We then believe he went to the front of the house

and staged that area

to make it look as though it was some type of

a burglary that was taking place.

But this was not a burglary.

This was a targeted attack.

David moffitt then came down the hallway,

entered the wrong bedroom where

Marie Michael was staying.

At that point, he realized that that was

not the person that he was going after.

Moffitt then goes across the hall to

the master bedroom where Angie and Justin were.

Justin's laying in the bed, Angie's laying in the bed,

and there's four shots that go into Justin.

The bullets pass through Justin, through the pillow,

through his mattress,

and one of the bullets actually passed through

the wall and exited the home.

The killer was certainly looking for Justin,

and the killer got Justin.

We believe, ultimately,

the gun had been thrown off a bridge into a lake.

David moffitt's car crash was his fatal error.

Looking back now, if he would have never crashed,

he might have gotten away with murder.

In July 2015, David moffitt is

found guilty of first-degree murder

and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

It was absolutely tragic.

Justin certainly didn't deserve this.

It just -- that's what makes this hard.

You know, you can't reconcile things like that in

your head and have it make any kind of sense.

The only reconciliation you get in a case like this

is getting a conviction and holding

the person responsible.

I really feel for Justin's mother.

As a mother myself,

I can't imagine losing a child.

And so, your heart just breaks for her when she's talking

about being there the night her son's murdered

and, you know, seeing the crime scene is just horrific

for any mother --

you don't expect to outlive your children ever.

We may never know why David moffitt

killed Justin Michael.

Was it in hopes that he would get back with Angie?

He would get a second chance? Or he was just pure evil?
