Betty.

What are you doing?

I don't want you to ever see him again.
You can't have him.

It's been over for a long time.

Okay, I'm not seeing him.
I don't want him.

Well, don't see him again.

I'm telling you.

I won't.

Well, I think under the circumstances
that I should just bring Alisa home

and drop her off after Bible school.

No.

No, I don't wanna see you anymore.

Just keep Alisa.

Take her to the movie.

Because I don't wanna look at you again.

You can bring her home tomorrow.

Sure.

Alisa's suit is on the washer.

I'll go get a towel
from the bathroom to...

to wrap it in.

Thank you.

Don't forget Alisa's peppermints.

That's okay.
I'm sure that we have peppermints at home

- that I could give her.
- She likes ours.

I'll give you these.

Betty.

I am so sorry.

Betty.

You can't have him.

Betty.

You can't have him.

I'm gonna have another baby.

You can't have him. You can't have him!

- You can't have him!
- Betty! What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I've gotta kill you.

Target.

I don't want him!

Don't want him!

Sorry. I'm sorry.

No. No. No.

Please, please, please, please, please.

Nothing's changed.

Candy!

Oh, Barbara.

I went to Betty's
and we just got to talkin'

and I looked at my watch
and thought I had enough time

to go to Target to get Father's Day cards,
so I drove all the way to Plano.

But when I got to the parking lot,

I realized my watch had stopped,
and so I was late.

I didn't even go in. I'm so upset.

I wanted to see the kids' puppet show.

And Jenny was just asking about you.

Well, I'm just gonna have to
make it up to them.

- Candy, where have you been?
- I'm so upset.

I went to Betty's and,
well, we just got to talkin'

and I thought I had enough time
to go get Father's Day cards

at Target. But when I got there,

I realized my watch had stopped
and that I was late.

I had to get Alisa's swimsuit
from Betty's,

or I wouldn't have been late.
My watch stopped.

We're taking Alisa with us tonight
to see "The Empire Strikes Back."

- That's nice.
- Yeah.

Well, that reminds me,
I have to go check on the kids.

- Alright.
- Bye.

Hi, Mom!

Hi, Mom.

Mom, I like this one.
"Hats off for a wonderful Father's Day."

That sounds great, honey.

"To wish you a happy Father's Day,

"and then to tell you, too,
there's always lots of love

and pride in every thought of you."

Great.

- Come on, come on! Let's go!
- Wait!

- Come on, Ms. Candy!
- Come on, Mommy!

Girls, can you get your suits on?
We don't wanna be late for Alisa's lesson.

- Hello?
-Pat, hi.

We just got back from Bible school.

I need you to make sure
you get enough money at the bank

because Alisa is going
to the movies with us.

- You checked with Betty?
-I went to Betty's

to get Alisa's suit,

but we just got to talkin'
and I lost track of time.

And then, I got to the Target,

and I noticed my watch stopped.
And so, I just--

I missed the whole Bible school program.

So, we'll just meet you
at the parking lot at 15 to 5!

Somebody's here, honey,
so we'll meet you there.

- Okay!
- Okay.

Bye.

- Hey!
- Hi. I'm so sorry.

The day just got away from me.

No worries.

Can I grab it?

What?

- The card table.
- Oh, yes! Yes, of course.

I swear, I don't know where my head is at.

I got so busy
that I even missed the puppet show.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothin'. I'm just, you know,

going in too many different
directions at once is all.

It's here.

Thanks for the card table!

- Talk to you later, baby.
- Bye!

Welcome to Dallas International Airport...

Directory assistance, please,
in Wylie, Texas.

- Hello.
-Richard, hi. This is Allan Gore.

- Hey, Allan.
- I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm out of town

and I've been trying to
catch Betty all day.

I think the phones must be
out of order or something.

But would you mind
knocking on the door over there

just to make sure she's home?

Sure I can run over.

Yeah. Hold on a minute.
I'll go check.

Okay, great.
Thank you so much.

No answer, Allan. She must be out.

Okay.

- Thank you for checking.
-No problem.

I really like your mom's lasagna.

Thanks! I'll tell her.

- Remember that cute turtle I made?
- Yeah.

- Out of pipe cleaners?
- Yeah.

Hello?

Candy, this is Allan.

Have you seen Betty?

Allan!

- Hi, where are ya?
-I'm in Minnesota on a business trip

but I've been trying to
get ahold of Betty all day

and she's not answering.

And I thought maybe
you talked to her today.

Yes, I saw her this morning when
I went to get Alisa's swimsuit.

Do you happen to know
if she had any plans?

No.

No, but I still have Alisa

'cause there was a change of plans
this morning.

Jenny wanted Alisa to stay over
another night

so they could go to the movies.

Did she seem alright to you?

Yeah! Yeah, she was fine.

You know, I'd be happy to go to the house
and check on them for you.

No, that's okay.
I'll call the neighbors again.

Okay.

Okay, well, just let me know
if there's anything I can do.

-Okay. Thank you. Bye.
- Okay. Bye.

What's going on?

Allan's out of town.

He can't get ahold of Betty,
so he's a bit worried.

I'm sure she's okay.

She could be out with friends.

I'm gonna go call her again,
if you'll excuse me.

Richard, I'm really sorry about this.

Could you run out back
and look in the garage

to see if her car is there?

-Yeah. Yeah, just a sec.
-Okay. Thanks.

She never leaves that garage door open.

Can you please go back over there,
check all the doors and the garage again

and I want you to get in the house
any way that you can.

- Allan just called.
- Yeah, I guess he's calling everybody.

- Yeah, he called me, too.
- He sounded pretty upset.

Said we should get in the house
any way we can.

Got my realtor keys.
We can try 'em on all the doors.

Oh shit. Hey!

- Yeah?
- It's not locked.

What? Lester!

Betty?

Betty?

Betty?

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

Hello?

There's nothing here.

The baby.

- Hey! Hey!
- Let's...

- let's get her outta here.
- It's okay. Yes.

I'll take her to my house.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. I got you.
I got you. I got you.

It's okay.

Oh God!

Don't go in there.

She's dead.

- What? What!
- She's dead.

What.

- Hello?
- This is Allan.

Oh God.
I have to make a decision.

What? What decision? What's wrong?

-I don't know--
-It's okay.

Allan? Yeah, it's Jerry.

- What did you find?
-Oh, gosh, it's not good, Allan.

The little one's okay.

- The baby?
-Yeah, she's okay.

What about Betty?

- What about Betty?
-I'm so sorry, Allan.

What? What happened?

I don't know for sure, but it-- Oh God.

It looks like she's been shot.

I'm so sorry, Allan.

I wish there was a better way to tell you.
I do.

Stop. Stop.

- You kidding me?
- Hello?

Candy,

I have some bad news.

Betty's dead.

What?

What happened?

It looks like she's been shot, apparently.

The neighbors found her.

Oh, my God.

What about Bethany?

We don't even own a gun.

I don't even own a gun.

I don't know what to say.

Could you please keep Alisa for a while

and don't tell her what happened?
I wanna tell her.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Thanks. I've gotta go.

This way, Chief.

Look there.

Looks like one of them cult deals.

Call the sheriff.

We gotta have backup.
Then call Collin County.

In fact, call everybody.

Whoever did this could be crazy enough
to still be in the neighborhood.

This is Chief Abbott.

This is Allan Gore.

Mr. Gore.
I'm Chief Abbott of the Wylie PD.

Can you tell me what you know
about what happened here?

I understand that Betty's been shot.

That's correct.

I've been trying to reach her all day.

I left for Saint Paul on business at about

4:30. I tried to call her before I left.
She didn't answer.

I kept trying her

right up until the point
that they told me.

I understand.
And do you know anybody else

that could have been
around the house today?

Well, Candy Montgomery.
She's a friend of ours.

She said she came by
to pick up a swimsuit this morning.

Serious?

The goal to contaminate
as much evidence as possible?

Start with the utility room.

Then the bathroom.

It's covered in blood.

Hello?

It's Allan.

My flight doesn't land
till about 10:00 or so.

I'm going to go home first.
Can you keep Alisa till 3:00 or so?

Of course.

-And she still doesn't know?
- No. No, we've...

we've kept her away from
the radio or anything like that.

Okay.

I talked to the police last night

and I mentioned you were over there,
so they'll probably be calling you.

- That's fine.
-Okay. I'll call you later. Bye.

Okay.

- Hello?
-Have you heard?

Betty Gore's been shot.

She's dead!

Yes, we heard. Yes.

It's all over the news.

Honey, I have Alisa with us.
I should get off.

Listen, when I get all these relations
out of my house,

I'm gonna come over,
and we're gonna drink a pot of coffee

- and talk.
- That is just what I need.

Thank you, honey.
I'll ring if I hear more.

Jesus.

Hello?

It's me, Jo Ann. You heard Betty's dead?

We heard last night, yeah.
It's so awful.

The police just left.

They say she was murdered with an axe.

- An axe?
-Yeah.

Must have been some very sick person.

It looks like from the pinky finger.

Probably the victim's.

How we doin'?

It was not premeditated.

The weapon's too strange,
signs of a struggle everywhere.

It was a crime of circumstance.

Or sex crime, maybe.

That I can't tell you.
The coroner will have to make that call.

But those footprints in the utility room
do not belong to a man.

They're too small.

Think a woman did this.
A woman or a kid.

He's about to step out
of the cab right now

and this would be the first time
that he has been here after...

How'd it happen, Dick?

What all do you know?

Just that she was shot.

Well, that's wrong.

- What happened?
- The weapon was an axe.

And it was very brutal.

Crime lab was here
until 8:00 this morning.

It was all hell to clean up.

I wish there was another way to say it,
to tell you.

- I wasn't here.
- What?

I wasn't here.

Betty

was always afraid when I go

something would happen.

She always said I should be here.
A husband

should be home.

And I wasn't here.

Come on, sweetie.

Daddy!

Hi, sweetie.

Oh, Allan.

Allan. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Princess! Cheeto!

Is there anything that we can do for you?

Just please don't leave yet.

I'd like for you to be here

when I tell her. I think that'd help.

Of course.

Sweetie, can I talk to you for a minute?

Last night,

somebody very bad came into the house

and

cut up Mommy very bad
and Mommy's not coming back.

Understand?

She was damn near dismembered
from what I'm told.

Can you imagine?

That's why I always say, use the deadbolt.

Like she'd been put through a Veg-O-Matic.

I'd just finished seeing "The Shining"

when I got the news,
if you can believe that.

Talk about bad dreams.

Well, it had to be a drifter.

A weapon like that during the day
in Wylie?

Now, my bet is probably
either sex criminal

or a burglar caught in the act.
And whoever it is,

likely a thousand miles away by now.

Honey, I'm gonna go speak to Don
for a second.

Okay.

It happened Friday,
today's Sunday.

After 48 hours, the odds flop.

- Hey, Don. Hi, y'all.
- Hi, Candy.

We're just talking about it. Awful.

Oh, yes. It is.

Can I speak to you in private
for a second?

- Sure.
- If that's alright. Okay. Thanks.

Well, I guess you know that I was there
that mornin'.

I was probably the last one
to see her alive.

Well, I doubt the last.
Maybe second to last.

Well, yeah, you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm supposed to speak
to the police this afternoon,

and is there any reason
that I should be worried?

- What do you mean?
- I don't know.

I was the last one seen
at the scene of the crime and everything

and those are always the people
they arrest on the TV shows.

Candy, they talk to everybody
in a case like this.

And the way she was chopped up.

Whoever did this had to be a very big man.

Yeah. Yeah. You're right.

- Thanks, Don.
- Sure.

Family and friends of the Gores
continue to gather...

My deepest sympathies.

I appreciate that.

Bob's got Bethany in the bedroom.

I think they both need a moment away
from all this.

What about this Marriage Encounter thing?

You and Betty went to that?

We did, yes.

Could it be someone from there?

- I'm hearing it's like a cult.
- I don't--

It wasn't anyone from Marriage Encounter.
It's not a cult.

Why did you two go there?

They're evidently doing two services.

One here tomorrow
and the other in Norwich on Wednesday.

And get this. Ron will be performing
the ceremony tomorrow.

Ron Adams?

Betty hated him.

I know,
but they hadn't officially rejoined

the Wylie Church so, technically,
Ron is still her pastor.

- Oh, my God.
- Candy? Candy.

Some of this food
needs to be put into the freezer.

I'm afraid I can't get myself
to go into that room.

Would you mind taking it in there for me?

- Yeah, okay.
- Thank you.

Hey! Hey! Stop!

I'm sorry about those dogs.

Anytime anyone comes in this room,
they bark like that.

I'm Bertha.
I'm Betty's mother.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

"Happy Father's Day, honey.

"It really means a lot
to have a husband like you.

"A lot of time, a lot of frustration.

"A lot of headaches, a lot of worry,

a lot of fun."

That's so great. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Wow. Look at you.

Oh, well, I'm not sure what one wears
to the police station,

so I figured I might as well look nice.

You sure you don't want me
to go with you?

Oh, yeah. I'll drive myself.
They said it shouldn't take long.

- You sure?
- Yeah. I'll be fine.

Well, let's just start from the beginning.

The beginning would have been
vacation Bible school.

And that would have started
about 9:00 in the morning

with a service ceremony sort of thing,
where I told one of my parables.

"The Three Trees."

Would you like to hear that?

Oh, no. That's okay.
After the ceremony?

After the ceremony, I left the church

around 9:45,
and got to Betty's around 10:00.

What was she doin'?

She'd just put the baby down,

and she was drinking a cup of coffee and

sewing something out of yellow material.

And she was about to watch "Phil Donahue."

So, after you got there?

Yes. We got to chattin'
about what to do with the children.

And then, we went and played with the dogs
'cause they just got a new puppy.

And then,
I told her about this new business

that I've started with Sherry Cleckler,
a wallpapering and painting thing.

And then I showed her one of my cards
and she thought that was cute.

And maybe I can leave some for you all.

After you showed her your business card?

I went into the utility room
to get Alisa's suit

and Betty went to grab
a towel to wrap it in.

And then she handed me
some peppermint candies

because Alisa doesn't like
to put her head under the water.

And so, she sort of just
bribes her with the candies.

What did you have on, clothes-wise?

I was wearing a burgundy blouse
and blue jeans.

What about shoes?

We picked up some footprints
in the hallway

and we need to screen the prints
for people we know

who were in the house.

I was wearing my blue tennis shoes.

- Rubber soles?
- Yes.

Do you have those shoes?

Not with me but I could get them for you.

How long do you think you were in there,
in total?

About 15 minutes.

And after?

After, I went to Target in Plano
to get Father's Day cards

but I noticed my watch stopped.

It still said 10:15.

And so, I asked someone what time it was,
and they said it was 11:10,

meaning I was already late
for the puppet show.

And so, I drove straight to the church

and got there around 11:30
for the luncheon.

And I didn't know that anything was wrong
until about 8:30

when Allan called me to tell me

that he was having a hard time
getting ahold of Betty.

I'm not saying cancel it altogether.
Just, you know, postpone it some.

Yes, I realize that they wanna go
and we will.

It's just under the circumstances,

it's not the best time to go to Six Flags,
that's all.

Not just that she was
a popular school teacher,

but, bear in mind,
this is the first murder

of any kind in Wylie in 25 years.

That it was committed with an axe
against an innocent woman

in her own home in a nice neighborhood,

you can understand why
this whole community is on edge.

She was a loving mother,
a loyal wife, a committed person of faith.

How can a thing like this happen

to a person who is
so needed by her family?

A mother so needed by her children.

A daughter so loved by her parents.

Perhaps there will be those
who look to God

and say that He has some
eternal purpose in all of this.

I cannot accept that.

The notion that God would will
something like this upon anyone.

This was not God's will.

His will has been thwarted
by the actions and behavior of humanity.

Humanity seems too kind a word.

A monster.

When things like this happen,

God's will and purposes
then change to His ultimate will.

This act was unnatural.

It was evil.

I'm sorry,
but I feel like we've been over this.

Well, with me, you have,
but I want these boys to hear it as well.

But we're trying to be
as painstaking as possible.

I appreciate that.

How were things with your marriage?

- They were good.
- Yeah? She was secure in it?

There was a time when she wasn't.

You know, we've

we had our issues,
specifically over the travel.

She battled postpartum depression,
which was a strain,

but things were improving of late.

We'd gone to a church program
called Marriage Encounter

and things were improving.

So you can't think of anybody
that'd wanna hurt your wife?

No. She didn't have any enemies,

or--

She wasn't too popular at her school
with her students.

One time, our house was vandalized,
but I can't imagine

that.

If I could go back a second.

You said that on Friday evening,
and then again on Saturday,

you had several conversations
with Candy Montgomery?

Yes.

- She told you she was at the house?
- Yes.

What else she tell you?

That Betty seemed fine.

Now, I apologize for having to ask this,
but can you think of a time

where Betty might have had an affair
with another man?

Yes, in 1971.

We were living in Las Cruces.

It was a time when I was traveling.

She had a one-night stand
with a college student there

at New Mexico State.

I don't believe she ever
had another affair

with any other man since then.

Pretty sure about that?

Yes.

You ever had an affair yourself?

No.

Have anything else you wanna tell us
that could help us in the investigation?

I can't think of anything at this time. No.

Hello?

Chief Abbott? It is Allan Gore calling.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I was just calling

to let you know that there was one thing
I was not truthful about.

What's that, Allan?

I did have an affair.

With Candy Montgomery.
