Original subtitles

He had been shot three times.

The final shot was the shot in the head.

There is $400,000 out there.

I believe that that would be a reason

for someone to wanna kill him.

If you look strictly at the financial aspect,

he's worth more dead than alive.

Where you have infidelity,

you automatically up the ante

that not one but two people may be motivated by jealousy.

If in fact the mother did kill the father,

it's not impossible that she would have learned from that.

Both individuals, they pointed the finger at each other.

This turns out to be a game changer.

This is the same vehicle depicted

in the surveillance footage.

It puts him right in the wheelhouse

that we're looking for.

The timeline fit perfectly.

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.

St. Charles, Missouri,

a small town rich in charm,

nestled on the banks of the Missouri River.

St. Charles, Missouri is part

of the St. Louis Metropolitan area.

Most of the people who live there

commute in to St. Louis to work.

It's suburbia.

It's a historic district.

Some of the buildings there go back to the 1800 or so.

People tend to feel

pretty safe out there. Indeed, a lot of people

move to St. Charles for that sense of safety

and community.

But on a warm spring morning,

a local postal carrier

makes a grisly discovery.

About 12:30 PM, the mail carrier,

she goes into the office with the mail, finds a man,

and she realizes that he's either dead

or very seriously hurt.

The mail carrier runs out, screaming for help,

and there just happened to be a police officer driving by.

At that time, she flagged him down.

When the officer entered the office,

he locates the victim,

gunshot wound to his head.

Capt. Patrick McCarrick

of the St. Charles Police Department

and his partner, Donald Stepp,

are called to the scene.

We arrived at the scene approximately

12:55 after hearing the call

come out over the radio.

Upon entering the office,

everything looked normal until you see a male is shot.

He had been shot three times.

One was near his chin,

one was in his neck,

the final shot was the shot in the head.

We found the bullet flattened on the floor.

So the bullet's trajectory

was easy to ascertain.

He had been shot by someone standing right over him.

It made it an extremely coldblooded

execution type murder.

The victim is Bob Eidman,

a local entrepreneur with a successful career

selling car insurance.

Bob was well-known

in the business community particularly

in insurance circles.

He'd been in the business for a long time.

His clientele were high risk auto insurance clients.

Bob Eidman was a very popular person.

He was a salesman, very outgoing, very friendly.

People tended to like him.

Bob had been married

to his high school sweetheart, Diane,

for almost 30 years.

He and his wife, Diane, lived nearby.

They had no children,

they were pretty quiet people.

To find Bob Eidman's killer,

detectives must unravel

the last 24 hours of his life.

They start by processing the crime scene.

We found shell casings and live ammo

laying on the floor.

The bullets were on the floor

between the door and the body.

Bob is probably seated at the desk.

And someone comes in

and there's an immediate confrontation.

He stands up.

It looks like he was shot

pretty soon after the shooter entered.

The fact that there's live rounds

being ejected along with spent rounds

is significant to me, because either the shooter

had a defective weapon

or it was a nervous or inexperienced shooter,

because you don't eject live rounds normally, you know.

The office did not appear to be ransacked.

Then, investigators noticed

an unusual detail.

They can't locate Bob's wallet.

We saw that his wallet was missing.

We cut out the rear pants pocket

and sent it to the lab,

thinking that if the killer had reached

into his pocket and taken the wallet,

they could have left DNA in the pocket.

We're very hopeful that DNA's

going to show up other than Bob Eidman's DNA

in that pocket.

Touch DNA is becoming more prevalent

to establish identification.

What most people don't realize

is that our skin and oils on our fingertips

actually leave behind residue.

And when you touch an object,

um, you're actually leaving DNA.

As detectives continue

surveying the crime scene,

a theory about the murder

comes into focus.

With the wallet being missing,

we believe that this was probably

a robbery that went bad.

The fact that Bob was shot

execution style indicates that probably the shooter

had a personal motive to shoot Bob

or he was eliminating Bob as a witness.

There were no struggles and sign

that looked like he's gonna fight.

Whoever came into the office,

Bob probably was familiar with

or that they came underneath disguise

of doing business.

Searching for answers,

police turned to the community.

We immediately start checking the area

for possible witnesses.

Bob's office is located in a strip mall.

Talked to the Mexican grocery store.

We learned that Bob came to work at 10:00 AM.

With the postal worker making her delivery

at approximately 12:30,

he was already deceased at that time,

so we knew that the incident happened

between 10:00 and 12:30 that morning.

We also talked to a lady who ran a printing business

that was located below Bob's office.

She heard some loud noises in Bob's office

at about 11:00 AM, and we felt right away

that that was probably the time of the crime.

When you have witnesses

who heard these noises,

if you can narrow down the timeframe,

that's a big lead to have

towards trying to solve the crime.

Shortly after canvassing the area,

Bob's wife, Diane Eidman

arrives on the scene.

Diane arrived at approximately 3:00 PM.

She didn't know what was going on.

She made multiple phone calls to the office

that Bob didn't answer.

The police have to break the news to her

that her husband has been murdered

in a very violent way.

She just became very quiet,

almost catatonic.

In fact, I was concerned.

People react in different ways,

but I certainly thought that it was unusual.

At this stage in an investigation,

everyone is a potential suspect,

especially a spouse.

That's police investigation 101.

You always look to the spouse.

With the crime scene being processed,

detectives bring Diane Eidman to the station

for an interview.

Diane, she was a quiet person.

She said they didn't drink. They didn't go out to party.

Detectives asked Diane about Bob's activities

leading up to his murder.

The day before the incident,

they had left the office approximately 3:00 PM.

They were visiting a car dealerships

to hand out business cards,

trying to drum up new business.

They had dinner at home that evening

approximately 6:00 PM.

And then, Bob went to bed

in between 10:00 and 10:30 PM.

The next day, Bob woke up and went to work

approximately 9:00 AM.

With Diane's unemotional demeanor,

detectives wonder

if she could have had something to do

with Bob's death.

We asked Diane about an insurance policy.

She believes that she had one policy

and she thought it was valued approximately $5,000.

When it looks like life insurance is $5,000,

that's not much of a motive.

But we thought that was kind of odd

for an individual that sold insurance.

Detectives asked Diane about her whereabouts

in the hours leading up to Bob's death.

Diane worked at a local hospital,

St. John's Mercy.

Diane told us she had been at work

from 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

We checked Diane's alibi

by talking to her supervisor

and confirmed that she was at work that day.

With Diane's alibi checking out,

detectives asked if she can think of anyone

who may have wanted to hurt Bob.

Diane told us that Bob was having issues

with a competitor, Rick Godson.

She said that Bob and Godson had been fighting over

a long time customer and Bob said

they were both claiming as being their own.

Bob was pretty agitated

according to Diane that this guy

was stealing one of his damn customers.

He was angry about it.

It was possible that this might be our suspect.

We needed to get a hold of that guy

to find out what's going on.

Did he have a motive to harm Bob?

In the brutal murder

of insurance salesman, Bob Eidman,

investigators are chasing a new lead.

Could Bob have been killed by a local business rival?

We found out through Bob's wife, Diane,

Bob had a confrontation with another insurance agent

named Rick Godson.

This appears to us to be possibly a motive.

Bob is gonna take it kind of personally

when this guy poaches one of his clients.

With Rick in their crosshairs,

detectives pay him a visit at his office.

When we contacted Rick, he had heard about

what had happened on the news.

Godson was very shocked that Bob had been killed.

Rick Godson denies any involvement

in Bob's murder.

Godson admitted that there had been some dispute

but never anything that would've got

to the level of a homicide.

Rick told us that recently

Bob had come to his office and was obviously angry

over the customer and shouting at him about it,

but, uh, Rick said,

"I didn't have any beef with the guy.

He was mad at me,

but I didn't have any reason to wanna harm the guy."

Detectives asked Rick

about his movements on the day of Bob's murder.

Rick told us that he had gone to get some office supplies

about 10:15 AM

and he arrived at his office

at about 10:30 AM.

To verify his alibi,

detectives contact the office supply store

Rick claims to have visited on June 8th.

After Godson left the store,

he arrived at his office at 10:30 AM.

He was at his office all day long,

which we were able to verify with his receptionist.

Our belief was the murder happened

about 11:00 AM.

This would eliminate Rick as a suspect.

With Rick Godson no longer a suspect,

detectives are back to square one.

Capt. McCarrick is somewhat of a legend

in the metro area, especially when it comes

to homicides. And he was a very big mentor

in my career.

In search of new leads,

Detectives McCarrick and Stepp

take a closer look at Bob's business.

Bob's business

was a one man office.

His clients were...

Basically they were buying insurance from Bob

because they couldn't get it anywhere else.

They were high risk

because of their driving record,

their employment record.

Most of them were paying in cash.

Now, anytime you run a cash business,

there is a risk it becomes

a tempting target for a robbery.

I mean, you're not gonna get

the kind of money you'd get robbing

the First National Bank,

but you're probably not gonna get caught either.

Working a new theory

that Bob could have been killed by one of his clients,

detectives dig into his client files,

looking for potential suspects.

There were hundreds and hundreds of names.

We had to run down each and every one.

What we do is we'd run a criminal history

on each person.

Individuals that had a violent

criminal history were looked at stronger

than people who didn't have that history.

Going through the names, we did not have a suspect.

Investigators catch a break

when they received surveillance footage

from the grocery store next to Bob's office.

We got a video from the surveillance camera

in the bodega on the day of the murder, June 8th.

This camera pointed at the door

and captured just a narrow part of that roadway

right in front of Bob's office.

The video surveillance showed a light colored vehicle

driving past at 10:50 and at 10:54 AM.

Based on the individual driving past twice

and the timeframe that coincided with the gunshot

was being heard at approximately 11:00 AM,

we believed that that vehicle had something to do

with the homicide.

If you were gonna go to that strip mall,

there would be no reason to circle that business twice.

For detectives, this is a significant lead.

They worked to track down more information

about the vehicle.

From the video surveillance, we weren't able to obtain

a license plate number or a description

of the individual or individuals

inside the vehicle.

We couldn't identify the car exactly,

but we had a guy on the police department

who could identify any car or truck.

He looked at this thing and said, "That's a Ford Focus."

When we ran all the models

registered in St. Charles County,

there were 1,300 Ford Focuses registered.

We began to try to make contact

with some of those people, but it's just

needle in a haystack, you know.

We released the image to the media

hoping that someone will be able identify the vehicle,

but nothing came back being concrete.

So the car, the information,

that's not very useful at that point.

There is a potential that it will be

if we find a suspect

who's associated with a car like that,

but we haven't identified anybody

who's under suspicion, yet.

This was a very frustrating investigation.

We had the main pieces, but we did not have a lock.

We needed something to lead us to the suspect.

Detectives take a closer look

at Bob's finances, hoping for some answers.

This was Bob's first venture out on his own

and it wasn't going the way Bob intended it to go.

He had a franchise

from an insurance company

and they were getting ready to revoke his franchise

because the business was so bad.

Bob had $160,000 that we found invested

in the franchise and if he lost the business,

he was gonna lose that $160,000,

and he would have been in serious financial trouble.

In terms of motivation, that brings us back to Diane

because if Bob is in trouble financially,

Diane's in trouble financially.

Digging deeper,

detectives discover something even more unsettling.

In looking into the life insurance

picture as Diane had told us originally,

she thought about $5,000 in life insurance on Bob.

When we looked, we found that there were actually

three policies.

The total coverage on his life

was around $400,000.

$400,000, that's a lot more than $5,000.

Diane Eidman is the sole beneficiary

in all three policies.

If you look strictly

at the financial aspect,

Bob is worth more to Diane dead than alive.

Large life insurance policies

have always been a potential motive for murder.

That sounds like the oldest motive in the book,

but it's still in the book because people actually do it.

There's a lot of reasons

to kill your husband.

$5,000, that's not much of a financial motive

for murder,

but $400,000 could well be.

In the coldblooded murder

of insurance salesman Bob Eidman,

investigators have uncovered a crucial detail

that puts his wife Diane

squarely back in their crosshairs as a suspect.

When asked about life insurance

in a routine initial interview with Diane,

she failed to mention the total coverage

on Bob's life was around $400,000.

The question every investigator needs to ask is,

"Who benefits from this person's death?"

And if there's a sizable life insurance policy,

his death triggers a windfall for Diane.

She's the only one who benefits.

Detectives bring Diane to the station again

and confront her with their recent findings.

When we asked Diane about

the three life insurance policies,

she stated that she didn't remember

that she had three.

We thought that was very odd.

There is $400,000 out there.

I believe that that would be a reason

for someone to wanna kill Bob Eidman.

Even though Diane Eidman was at work on June 8th

until approximately 2:45 PM

and her alibi was confirmed that she was at work,

doesn't mean that she couldn't have been involved

in the murder.

We investigated Diane Eidman.

We pulled emails.

We pulled phone records.

We did a mail trace.

We did anything that we could

to figure out that Diane Eidman

had been communicating with someone

about the homicide.

But we can't find a communication

between Diane and a go-between

or a potential contract killer.

When looking at Bob and Diane's

phone and computer records,

detectives find evidence

that their marriage might not have been as solid

as Diane claimed.

When we checked Bob's computer records,

we found out Bob was visiting masseuses

on his lunch breaks.

And then, we found out that he was

talking consistently with an individual

Darryl Lewis from Independence, Missouri.

We get a hold of Darryl

and discovered that he is in fact

Bob's extramarital affair.

We were very surprised

when we found out that Bob was leading a second life.

I mean, your typical suburban insurance man

who goes to work, and goes home,

and barbecues with the neighbors,

that's a low risk lifestyle.

If you're going to massage parlors

and having extramarital affairs,

that's a high risk lifestyle

and brings in the possibility

of people having a motive to wanna harm you.

Detectives pay a visit to Darryl

to get more information.

When we talked to Darryl Lewis in Independence,

he said he met Bob using a phone dating service.

He said that him and Bob, they were having an affair.

He said they'd meet and spend the weekends together.

Knowing that they were involved in a relationship,

there was a possibility

that Darryl could've been a suspect.

When detectives asked Darryl

if there was any trouble in their relationship,

he becomes distraught.

He said that his relationship with Bob had ended.

Bob had told Darryl that his wife

had found out about the affair.

Bob called him and told him

that Diane found his email

and confronted Bob about it.

Bob said, "I'm going to have to not see you for a while

because Diane's angry about this."

Darryl was very upset that Bob

had ended their relationship.

Jealousy could have been a motive at this point.

The breakup, that could have created a motive

for Darryl to wanna harm Bob

or just the nature of their affair itself.

I mean, if you have a love triangle,

everybody's got a motive to

shoot everybody else sometimes, you know.

The infidelity and the second life

naturally opens up a new realm of possibilities

in terms of that personal motive to kill Bob.

In any case where you have infidelity,

you automatically up the ante

that not one but two people

may be motivated by jealousy or by competition.

With suspicions swirling around Darryl,

detectives asked about his whereabouts

during the window of time Bob was killed.

When we asked Darryl where he was on the 8th,

he said that he was at work from 8:00 AM until 5:30 PM.

He worked at a car dealership in the Independence area.

We checked Darryl's alibi

and we spoke with his employer,

who did put Darryl Lewis at work from 8:00 to 5:30 PM.

Having eliminated Darryl as a suspect,

detectives turn their attention

back to Bob's wife, Diane.

It was significant that Diane had discovered the affair

some weeks before the murder,

but had never told us about it.

In terms of Diane,

we have a possible financial motive,

but we also can't discount the fact that, uh, Bob's lover

may have triggered some jealous instinct in Diane

that was also the motivation for murder.

We reached the point in the investigation

where we see several possible motives for Diane.

She's a beneficiary of a large amount of life insurance

and recently she has discovered

that he's got an extramarital affair going on with a man.

Everything is coming back around to Diane.

Detectives bring Diane in

for another round of questioning.

When we confronted Diane with the information

that we knew that Bob was having an affair,

Diane kinda blew it off

like it wasn't that big of a deal.

Diane, she said that their relationship

wasn't anything that would motivate her

to wanna harm Bob and she didn't think

it was significant enough to tell us about it.

I'm not sure if I buy that.

A classic motive for spousal homicide

is that your husband or wife is fooling around.

It could in itself create a motive for her to harm Bob,

and the fact that she wouldn't mention something like that,

could mean that she's concealing something.

She failed to tell us a couple of things

that just makes her more suspicious.

Without evidence directly linking Diane

to Bob's murder,

detectives are forced to let her go.

At this point, the investigation still was ongoing.

We still don't have the evidence of who killed Bob.

Without having any additional information or evidence,

we'd have to find the angle or something new,

so we were no closer at that point

than we were in the beginning of the investigation.

For investigators,

this really is puzzling and frustrating

and you need to then start opening other doors

and using, in some cases, less conventional methods.

This is a very twisted case.

Unable to connect Diane Eidman

to the murder of her husband,

the investigation into the homicide

of Bob Eidman hits a wall.

There's nothing more frustrating

for law enforcement than having a brutal murder

that occurred in your jurisdiction

and it goes unsolved.

The public wants to know what happened,

so there's a lot of pressure to try to resolve this,

most of it coming from the police themselves

and they wanna solve every case.

Detectives dig deeper

into Diane's background

and make a surprising discovery.

We've learned Diane's mother,

uh, had been accused of murdering her father

when Diane was a young girl, I think about 12 or 14.

And it looked like the evidence was pretty strong,

but she was eventually taken to trial and acquitted.

Police, in this case,

learned that Diane's mother Lenora

was accused of committing murder

against her domestic partner.

This may have impacted her life,

maybe she inherited, uh,

a predisposition towards aggression

or potentially this could be a recipe,

um, for acting out or using violence.

There's no doubt the father was murdered by somebody

and that the mother was the only person

ever formally charged,

but if the mother did kill the father,

then it's not impossible

that Diane would have learned from that

and seen, "I have a serious problem in my marriage.

This is a way I might be able to deal with it."

After learning about the suspicious circumstances

surrounding her father's death,

detectives zero in on Bob's wife, Diane.

Up to this point, we both believe that Diane Eidman

could have been involved in the murder.

We asked Diane Eidman to take a polygraph examination,

which she agreed to.

Type of questions we would ask would be,

"Did you kill Bob? Do you know who killed Bob?

Were you involved?"

Those answers came back as being inconclusive.

The results are not enough to hold Diane.

Detectives once again must let her go.

Then, the touch DNA results from Bob's pants

come in from the lab.

Nine months after submitting Bob's

back pocket for DNA analysis,

they were able to identify two DNA profiles.

One of the DNA profiles came back belonging to Bob Eidman,

the second to an unknown male.

This was huge.

We certainly believe that's gonna be

the killer's DNA or a participant,

a direct participant in the crime.

There's no reason for somebody's DNA

to be in Bob's pocket other than Bob.

That DNA doesn't rule Diane out.

We know Diane didn't commit the crime,

but if she had someone do it,

either directly or through an intermediary,

that could be the identified profile.

Investigators enter the DNA profile

in the national database,

hoping to find a match

that would reveal Bob's killer.

We ran the DNA, we did not have a match.

When you're working on a lead,

and it comes up to being a dead end,

it's very frustrating.

You just have to keep going.

Months turned to years,

and detectives are no closer to an arrest

than they were on day one,

but when they receive unexpected news,

the course of the investigation changes.

Three years later, we're notified that

the unidentified DNA is identified

with a man named Paul White

who's in the Missouri Penitentiary

on an unrelated charge.

Paul White has an extensive rap sheet.

There was eight or nine prior felony convictions.

Most interestingly there was a robbery first degree.

And in that case, the victim had survived.

And they were able to arrest Paul White

because he left the victim, the witness alive.

It's possible that was not a mistake Paul White

was willing to make again

no matter how ruthless he had to be

to accomplish that.

We're convinced at that point that Paul White is our guy.

But we have to find the connection

between Bob Eidman and Paul White.

There has to be some kind of an inside connection,

either direct or indirect.

We're gonna clear this by the time the dust settles.

Detectives dig deeper into Paul White's

activities in the week surrounding Bob's murder.

We discovered this traffic stop.

And Paul, he was a passenger in a car

driven by another guy named Cleo Hines.

And the car is a Ford Focus, silver in color.

We believe it is the Focus we were looking for at that time.

This turns out to be a game changer

because this is the same vehicle

depicted in the surveillance footage

that seems to be circling Bob's office

in the moments leading up to his murder.

After a three-year investigation

into the murder of insurance salesman Bob Eidman,

detectives get a DNA match that places a new suspect

at the crime scene, Paul White.

Paul White's DNA is in Bob's pocket

where his wallet was stolen from.

It's got to be the killer's DNA.

While reviewing all the evidence they've collected,

investigators uncover another link

connecting Paul White to Bob Eidman.

Paul White, his wife bought

a car insurance policy from Bob Eidman

some months before the murder.

And on at least one occasion,

Paul was with her

which completes the element

that we're looking for under robbery

that he has some knowledge of the business.

He knows where the business is.

He knows the nature of the business,

that it's a cash business, the environment,

low visibility.

It puts him right in the wheelhouse

that we're looking for.

Having established a clear financial motive

for Paul White to kill Bob Eidman,

detectives visit Paul in prison to question him.

The interview with Paul White was conducted

in Missouri Department of Corrections.

Paul was in shock that we were there to speak to him

about something that happened years earlier.

When the police interviewed Paul White,

his demeanor seemed very cool,

calm, collected, indeed almost arrogant.

One of the first things the detectives did

was show him a picture of Bob Eidman,

in fact they showed him two pictures.

The first one, they said,

do you recognize this guy?

He doesn't break a sweat.

He doesn't miss a beat.

He said no, I don't... I don't recognize him.

They show him a second picture.

He says, yeah, I don't know,

he looks familiar but I can't place him.

He leans back.

He's got his arms behind his head.

He's calm, he's joking.

The first interview with Paul

is pretty clear that he doesn't think

we have anything on him.

Even if we identify the car,

it doesn't put him at the scene of the crime.

DNA, fingerprints,

he doesn't think there's a possibility of that,

he thinks that they don't have any evidence.

He's very confident of that.

Paul White claimed he had nothing to do

with Bob Eidman's death.

When I told Paul White that we have his DNA

in the pocket of Bob Eidman,

he said, there is no way you have that.

There's no way.

With Paul White playing hardball,

detectives McCarrick and Stepp shift their focus

to the driver of the Ford Focus,

Cleo Hines.

We learned that Cleo Hines was a roommate

- and friend of Paul White. - There's a probability

that if Cleo's car is at the scene of the crime,

Cleo's there, too. We don't know that for sure.

But we're certainly gonna suspect

that he may have been there also.

If we let him believe that we can identify his car,

he's gonna believe that's a good bluff.

That's like when the third spade shows up

at your Texas hold 'em game and you raise big,

maybe you got a flush, you know, maybe you don't.

When we conducted an interview with him,

Cleo was very quick to confess

to his involvement with the homicide.

Cleo tells us that on the day of the crime,

Paul had lost money at the casino

and came to him, needed money

and wants Cleo to help him commit a robbery.

Paul tells Cleo that he knows a guy,

an insurance guy named Bob who runs a cash business

and believes they can rob him.

Cleo tells us that Paul

puts a gun to his head and threatens him.

So he goes along with it.

Cleo Hines admits that he was driving the car

the morning of the crime.

And Paul gets out by himself

and goes out to do the robbery.

Afterwards, Paul comes back,

gets in the car, and they drive away.

Detectives press Cleo for the reason

why Paul would want to kill Bob.

When we asked Cleo why he didn't report the crime,

he said that he was afraid of Paul.

Detectives can now finally rule out

Diane Eidman as a suspect.

Diane, she hasn't done anything wrong.

And we kinda put Diane through the wringer.

We feel bad about that.

But if I had to do it again tomorrow,

I would have to do the same thing

because our responsibility is to find out

who made Bob dead before he was supposed to be.

Diane's his wife,

but she had to also be a suspect,

and that often can't be avoided.

Armed with Cleo's confession,

investigators confront Paul White.

We're telling Paul that Cleo has confessed

and Paul still denies that he had any involvement.

As they confronted him with more and more evidence,

that smirk got wiped off his face

as he came to realize

just how much trouble he was in.

Eventually, Paul gives us his version.

He admits being there,

and he admits planning the robbery,

but he denies being the shooter.

He says that he takes Bob's wallet out of his pants

and Cleo began shooting,

and shoots Bob and killed him.

Basically, both men,

they pointed the finger at each other.

Under Missouri law, if you aid, assist,

or encourage someone in committing the crime,

you're as guilty of the crime as they are.

I do believe that Paul White likely was the shooter.

Well, we don't have to prove that beyond reasonable doubt.

We just have to prove that they conspired

and acted in concert to commit the crime.

They're both guilty of the... of the crime.

Investigators can now piece together

Bob Eidman's final 24 hours.

At 12:30 AM on June the 8th,

Paul takes a trip to the casino

and loses $1,200.

Later, Paul goes home, he talks to Cleo,

tells him he needs money,

and he suggests a robbery

of Bob Eidman in his insurance office

because Bob did a cash business.

So at 10:50 AM,

they arrive in the area of Bob's office,

they drive past once to case the place.

They come back around again at 10:54

and they go inside.

They come through the door at 10:55.

There's an immediate confrontation.

Bob's probably seated at his desk.

The two guys demanded money.

Bob is beginning to stand up from his desk.

The first shot is fired, probably strikes him in the chin,

then another shot strikes him in the neck.

At 11:00 AM,

Paul White stands over Eidman,

and puts another round into his head

killing Bob Eidman.

$200 was stolen from Bob Eidman.

This was completely and utterly senseless.

This was something that should never have happened.

I don't understand how anyone could do something like that,

can have so little remorse,

so little sense of conscience,

it's mind boggling.

For his role in the murder of Bob Eidman,

Cleo Hines is charged with second degree murder and robbery.

As the likely shooter, Paul White is charged

with first degree murder and robbery.

Both men are sentenced to life in prison.

In a police investigation,

the key to understanding why something happened,

the first step to understanding why

is to understand when.

It's not always a luxury that police have.

In this case, it was something

they had going for them,

they had a very clear timeline.

Once all the pieces were found,

the timeline fit perfectly.

I didn't know Bob in life.

Usually, we don't know our victims in life,

we only know them in their...

in their death.

Bob is gone but he has survivors

that will think about him every day

for the rest of their lives.

Diane is one of them.

Bob didn't deserve this,

and Diane and his survivors didn't deserve it.
