1
00:00:01,734 --> 00:00:03,834
[Tony] Lisa and Kosta were
a very prominent couple.
2
00:00:03,867 --> 00:00:07,400
And then Diedre Hunt comes in
off the street
3
00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:09,300
and says
she's looking for a job.
4
00:00:10,367 --> 00:00:11,634
[man 2] She was bright.
5
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:14,800
She was very sexual.
6
00:00:14,834 --> 00:00:17,800
[man 3] Kosta said,
"Can I have her?"
7
00:00:17,834 --> 00:00:21,867
That's when things changed
for the city of Daytona beach.
8
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:24,266
[woman speaking]
9
00:00:27,433 --> 00:00:31,066
[man 3] Diedre Hunt
and Kosta Fotopoulos were both manipulating each other
10
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:32,767
to get what they desired.
11
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:37,300
When she looked at me
with those big eyes,
12
00:00:37,333 --> 00:00:40,000
you could tell that
she was a seductress.
13
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:43,734
[man 2] In the middle of
one investigation,
14
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:46,100
another murder comes up.
15
00:00:46,133 --> 00:00:49,166
[man 3] That's when
all hell breaks loose.
16
00:00:57,233 --> 00:00:59,800
[Michael] Daytona Beach
has always been depicted
17
00:00:59,834 --> 00:01:03,266
as the world's
most affordable beach.
18
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,533
It was a wonderful place
to take your family.
19
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:09,700
[Stacy]
But in the late 1980s, there was another side
20
00:01:09,734 --> 00:01:11,467
of the beach in Daytona.
21
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,600
A darker world of
transient kids
22
00:01:14,634 --> 00:01:18,166
and a man who manipulated them
into doing his bidding.
23
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:22,533
Until one of them
seduced him instead.
24
00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:26,967
[David] There were several
smaller clicks of communities
25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,233
within Daytona Beach,
one of which was the Greek community.
26
00:01:30,266 --> 00:01:33,700
And it was a very
tight knit community of very hard workers.
27
00:01:33,734 --> 00:01:36,266
And the Greek community
had established themselves
28
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,100
pretty much throughout
the beachside as merchants,
29
00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:42,300
uh, with shops, t-shirts,
things of that nature.
30
00:01:43,867 --> 00:01:47,233
[Purvette] Lisa
and Kosta Fotopoulos were well known in Daytona Beach
31
00:01:47,266 --> 00:01:50,200
as a friendly family who
cared about their community.
32
00:01:52,033 --> 00:01:57,233
Lisa and Kosta were
a very prominent couple back in the '80s.
33
00:01:57,266 --> 00:01:59,967
You didn't go the boardwalk
without knowing who they were.
34
00:02:01,367 --> 00:02:04,667
[Michael]
Kosta was born and raised in Greece and came here
35
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,734
for his university education.
36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,233
[Purvette] Lisa comes from
the Paspalakis family
37
00:02:11,266 --> 00:02:14,667
which was well known
at the Daytona Beach area.
38
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,433
Her father came here
from the old country
39
00:02:18,467 --> 00:02:22,433
and he amassed quite a bit
of real estate holdings and businesses.
40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,066
[David] Her family had built
several successful businesses
41
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,667
on the boardwalk.
42
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:30,367
So they had money.
43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,600
[Michael] Lisa graduated
from the university with a degree in accounting.
44
00:02:36,634 --> 00:02:39,900
And ultimately,
she was a part of the day to day operations
45
00:02:39,934 --> 00:02:43,467
of the various businesses that
the Paspalakis family had.
46
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:46,700
Lisa's family was
looking for a husband for her.
47
00:02:46,734 --> 00:02:49,300
And as was the case
in the Greek tradition,
48
00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:52,600
they wanted to try to stay
within the Greek community
49
00:02:52,634 --> 00:02:54,667
and find a suitable husband
for her.
50
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:58,100
[Michael] When her
and Kosta got married,
51
00:02:58,133 --> 00:03:01,233
it was like the jewel
of Daytona to see
52
00:03:01,266 --> 00:03:04,967
a young Greek couple that are
very thoroughly educated,
53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,834
but also had influence
in the community.
54
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:12,133
[Tony]
Kosta had a good personality.
55
00:03:12,166 --> 00:03:15,166
You couldn't help
but like the guy when you first met him.
56
00:03:16,266 --> 00:03:18,667
He liked being
in the limelight
57
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:20,834
because he wanted
the attention.
58
00:03:21,967 --> 00:03:24,467
He wanted to know that
people would recognize him.
59
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:31,000
[Michael]
When Lisa's father passed away in November of '88,
60
00:03:31,033 --> 00:03:33,100
it was a shock
to the Greek community.
61
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,333
Being a Greek family,
you support family.
62
00:03:37,367 --> 00:03:39,800
So at that time,
Kosta and Lisa moved in
63
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:41,834
with mom
and little brother Dino
64
00:03:41,867 --> 00:03:44,000
to help take care
of the mother.
65
00:03:44,834 --> 00:03:47,100
And that allowed
Kosta and Lisa
66
00:03:47,133 --> 00:03:49,367
to control the house
and the house affairs.
67
00:03:51,066 --> 00:03:53,533
Being close friends
of the family,
68
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:57,700
I had the opportunity to
interact with Kosta and Lisa.
69
00:03:57,734 --> 00:04:01,900
It was obvious to everyone
that there was a facade of happiness,
70
00:04:01,934 --> 00:04:04,767
but you wouldn't see
a public display of affection.
71
00:04:06,166 --> 00:04:08,533
I think it was a marriage
of convenience,
72
00:04:08,567 --> 00:04:11,033
a forced marriage
from tradition.
73
00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:14,634
[David] He had
these grandiose ideas
74
00:04:14,667 --> 00:04:17,367
that would lead to him
having power and money
75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,834
and Lisa and her family
were simply a stepping stone
76
00:04:20,867 --> 00:04:22,033
for him to get that.
77
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,967
[Tony] He wasn't shy about
looking at somebody and going,
78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,233
I should have what they have.
79
00:04:31,033 --> 00:04:33,400
I had a bar and a shop
in Daytona.
80
00:04:33,433 --> 00:04:35,800
And Kosta came in
and he said,
81
00:04:35,834 --> 00:04:38,734
you know, I have
a friend who owns
82
00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:41,333
a place on the boardwalk
that's for lease.
83
00:04:41,367 --> 00:04:45,834
I would like to open it up
as a bar and a pool hall.
84
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,767
You wanna invest
in that for me?
85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,200
You know, you can be
a part owner.
86
00:04:49,233 --> 00:04:51,266
And that's how we got
Top Shots.
87
00:04:52,967 --> 00:04:55,967
It was the only bar bar
on the boardwalk
88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,767
and it was
an immediate success.
89
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,266
[Joe] During the evening hours
the boardwalk totally changed.
90
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,634
Where the families disappeared
for the most part.
91
00:05:06,667 --> 00:05:09,834
And all the vagrants
and runaways would
92
00:05:09,867 --> 00:05:11,467
be attracted to the boardwalk.
93
00:05:13,467 --> 00:05:17,266
[Michael] The Top Shots
became a hub for a lot of the transients.
94
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:21,066
The young ones who were,
kind of, living aimlessly
95
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,734
in their lives were
attracted to Kosta
96
00:05:23,767 --> 00:05:25,700
and I believe he was
able to influence 'em.
97
00:05:26,867 --> 00:05:29,600
[David] To these kids,
Kosta was a big businessman
98
00:05:29,634 --> 00:05:32,667
living in a big house,
driving a BMW.
99
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:35,100
I mean, for heaven's sakes,
you know, they had nothing
100
00:05:35,133 --> 00:05:36,400
and he had everything.
101
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,266
He was bigger than life.
102
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,867
[Tony] Kosta would tell these
young vagrants that he was
103
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:49,000
a commando and he was
a paid assassin,
104
00:05:49,033 --> 00:05:52,066
and he was a ninja,
and all this kind of crap
105
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:55,166
that, you know, an adult
wouldn't believe or even listen to.
106
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:57,333
And they fell for it.
107
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:02,500
[Stacy]
It seems Kosta has become something of a pied piper
108
00:06:02,533 --> 00:06:04,467
to these down and out kids.
109
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,900
But what is he
getting out of the deal?
110
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,200
[David] In mid-1989,
111
00:06:12,233 --> 00:06:14,266
Diedre Hunt comes down
from a small town
112
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:15,834
in New Hampshire
to Daytona Beach.
113
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,266
She was penniless,
114
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,467
really knew no one,
20 years of age,
115
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,200
and out of work, out of luck.
116
00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:29,033
[Tony] Diedre Hunt
comes in off the street.
117
00:06:29,066 --> 00:06:31,200
Very, very pretty girl.
118
00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:35,133
Great personality,
and says she was looking for a job.
119
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,767
And I said, "Really?
What can you do?"
120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,634
She said,
"I can do anything you want."
121
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:44,800
I said, well, I really would
like to have my customers waited on.
122
00:06:44,834 --> 00:06:46,700
And she said, "I can do that."
123
00:06:46,734 --> 00:06:48,500
So I hired her.
124
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:52,634
And our business
picked up 50%.
125
00:06:53,367 --> 00:06:55,166
Because she was a hustler.
126
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,667
[David] Deidre had,
to put it lightly, a very effervescent personality.
127
00:07:04,767 --> 00:07:09,967
She was bright,
she was sultry,
128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,433
she was attractive.
129
00:07:11,467 --> 00:07:14,266
And she had no problem
showing a lot of skin
130
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,100
wearing small bathing suits
or bikinis
131
00:07:17,133 --> 00:07:18,800
while she was working
at the bar.
132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400
[Joe] She was hit on
quite a bit at the bar
133
00:07:23,433 --> 00:07:26,734
and Kosta, obviously,
liked her looks.
134
00:07:28,767 --> 00:07:31,333
[Tony] Deidre didn't have
a place to stay.
135
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:34,533
So I put her up
in the hotel down the street.
136
00:07:35,634 --> 00:07:38,200
Kosta said, "I think
she's the one for me.
137
00:07:38,233 --> 00:07:39,533
Can I have her?"
138
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:42,166
What?
139
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,867
I said, "I don't care.
You wanna pay for her hotel?"
140
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:47,200
He said,
"I'll take care of everything. I'll take care of everything."
141
00:07:48,967 --> 00:07:50,200
They were together a lot.
142
00:07:50,233 --> 00:07:52,400
You know, you were seeing
them going here and there
143
00:07:52,433 --> 00:07:56,266
and all the places that
Lisa never wanted to go.
144
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:58,367
He had Deidre
right by his side.
145
00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:02,500
[Michael]
I think Lisa detected early on
146
00:08:02,533 --> 00:08:06,233
that there was a distraction
on his part.
147
00:08:06,266 --> 00:08:09,467
I think she probably
made her point very clear with Kosta
148
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:11,900
by saying, listen,
if you cheat on me,
149
00:08:11,934 --> 00:08:15,667
you're done,
and you're not gonna be entitled to anything.
150
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,500
I'm carving you out.
I'm gonna divorce you and you get nothing.
151
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,767
That's when things
changed dramatically
152
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800
for the city of Daytona Beach
in the Paspalakis family.
153
00:08:26,533 --> 00:08:27,867
[phone dialing]
154
00:08:29,767 --> 00:08:31,967
[911 operator speaking]
155
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,667
[David]
In the early morning hours of November the fourth,
156
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:36,467
the Daytona Beach
police department
157
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:39,033
receive a frantic call
from a home.
158
00:08:40,433 --> 00:08:42,166
[man speaking]
159
00:08:45,867 --> 00:08:46,967
[911 operator speaking]
160
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,233
[man speaking]
161
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,967
[David] The caller
heard gunshots at his home.
162
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,233
But he's not sure
where they've come from.
163
00:08:54,266 --> 00:08:57,567
While that call
is heard by the police and the dispatch,
164
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,734
you can hear
wailing and screaming in the background.
165
00:09:02,634 --> 00:09:04,133
[woman speaking]
166
00:09:06,734 --> 00:09:07,934

00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:26,800
[911 operator speaking]
172
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:32,367
[David] The caller's sister
had been shot.
173
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,033
He's begging the police to
arrive as quickly as they can.
174
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,667
The police do arrive quickly,
and they can still hear
175
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:43,333
the screaming and wailing
of a female voice
176
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:44,800
coming from within the home.
177
00:09:45,567 --> 00:09:46,900
[woman speaking]
178
00:09:50,033 --> 00:09:52,567
[David] Eventually,
a young man opens the door.
179
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,433
He's identified as
Dino Paspalakis.
180
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:57,333
Dino is the brother of Lisa.
181
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:03,634
[Purvette] Dino told police
that his sister Lisa
182
00:10:03,667 --> 00:10:05,066
had been shot.
183
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,700
When he heard the gunshot,
184
00:10:07,734 --> 00:10:10,967
Kosta asked him
to call 911.
185
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,834
[David] They immediately
run up the stairs
186
00:10:14,867 --> 00:10:18,800
to find Kosta Fotopoulos
cradling his wife Lisa,
187
00:10:18,834 --> 00:10:22,033
who is bleeding profusely
from a head wound.
188
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:26,800
Kosta tells them that
he'd been asleep
189
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,033
with his wife
in the bedroom.
190
00:10:28,066 --> 00:10:31,100
And was awakened
when a shot rang out.
191
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,533
He immediately saw
the intruder
192
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:36,333
next to his wife
standing over her.
193
00:10:36,367 --> 00:10:38,667
Grabbed his gun
from under the bed,
194
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,700
shot him five or six times.
195
00:10:41,634 --> 00:10:43,467
And then got up from the bed
196
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,000
and went up to him,
shot him once more in the head.
197
00:10:49,166 --> 00:10:52,900
They see a young man
lying face down on the floor
198
00:10:52,934 --> 00:10:55,667
in a puddle of blood,
with a gun at his feet.
199
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,367
Lisa is rushed to the hospital
with a bullet wound to her brain.
200
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,266
[Michael] We were, of course,
all concerned about
201
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,400
Lisa's welfare
and if she was gonna make it.
202
00:11:12,433 --> 00:11:15,567
Kosta's telling me,
"I'm not gonna get arrested for this.
203
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200
You know, he shot my wife
and I was just
204
00:11:18,233 --> 00:11:19,800
defending my wife
in my house.
205
00:11:19,834 --> 00:11:21,567
I'm not gonna
get arrested for this.
206
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,200
Make sure I don't
get arrested for this.
207
00:11:23,233 --> 00:11:26,333
And I said, "Kosta,
if you were defending your house and your wife,
208
00:11:26,367 --> 00:11:29,266
shooting this burglar
is not going to be
209
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:30,667
something that they're gonna
charge you with.
210
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,033
In fact, you know,
you're a hero."
211
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:39,367
[David]
Investigators surmised it to be an armed robbery
212
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,867
as gone wrong.
213
00:11:41,734 --> 00:11:45,166
And Kosta is touted
as a hero
214
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,367
who has saved his wife
from certain death
215
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,967
at the hands of this
homicidal maniac.
216
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:58,400
[Michael] We were so fortunate
to hear that Lisa survived.
217
00:11:58,433 --> 00:12:02,934
Not too many people
survive a gunshot wound to the head.
218
00:12:02,967 --> 00:12:05,567
But it just wasn't
her time to die.
219
00:12:07,367 --> 00:12:10,467
[David] The assailant was
identified as Bryan Chase
220
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,300
who was 18 years of age.
221
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:16,266
Effectively, a transient
living in Daytona Beach.
222
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:19,433
[Tony] Bryan Chase,
he used to hang around Top Shots
223
00:12:19,467 --> 00:12:22,166
because we would pay him
to take out the trash,
224
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,767
sweep, do stuff like that.
225
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,867
He didn't really
work for us, per se.
226
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:28,133
But we would help him out.
227
00:12:28,166 --> 00:12:32,200
So Bryan Chase is one of
Kosta's followers.
228
00:12:32,233 --> 00:12:35,133
It's possible that
the kids he's been helping
229
00:12:35,166 --> 00:12:37,967
have him pegged as
a wealthy target.
230
00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:43,734
[David]
There's been an attempt on Lisa Paspalakis' life
231
00:12:43,767 --> 00:12:47,800
by someone associated
with Kosta's bar.
232
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:51,634
From that, the police will
start their investigation.
233
00:12:53,834 --> 00:12:56,567
The lower portion of the house
there's sliding glass doors
234
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,634
across the entire
back of the house.
235
00:13:00,233 --> 00:13:02,800
They see that a portion
of the door has been broken.
236
00:13:02,834 --> 00:13:04,967
They see shards of glass
on the ground.
237
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,033
And they immediately
jump to the conclusion
238
00:13:07,066 --> 00:13:10,567
this must be where
this young boy came in.
239
00:13:13,634 --> 00:13:15,634
[Joe] It was kinda strange
240
00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:18,200
because the panes
were very small.
241
00:13:18,233 --> 00:13:21,200
And to me, that was
highly unlikely that
242
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:23,033
you could get through
those panes.
243
00:13:25,066 --> 00:13:30,467
And also, the glass debris
was on the outside.
244
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:34,233
Typically, if you're breaking
glass, it's gonna go on the inside
245
00:13:34,266 --> 00:13:36,467
of the area that you're
trying to enter.
246
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:41,233
And also, the suspect
would actually enter the house
247
00:13:41,266 --> 00:13:45,734
and go up the stairs
and bypass a lot of valuable items.
248
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:48,433
I thought
that was really strange.
249
00:13:50,133 --> 00:13:55,500
[Michael]
For a burglar to go upstairs, and in the farthest bedroom,
250
00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:58,700
shoot the most
non-threatening person
251
00:13:58,734 --> 00:14:00,867
who was on the opposite side
of the bed,
252
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,967
it just didn't make sense.
253
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,800
You would figure the burglar
would've shot the male first
254
00:14:06,834 --> 00:14:08,400
who was closest to the door.
255
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:11,634
So a lot of things
did not add up.
256
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,967
And then around
November seventh,
257
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,667
the law enforcement
gets an anonymous phone call
258
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,133
and the investigation takes
a little bit of a twist.
259
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,266
[man speaking]
260
00:14:36,233 --> 00:14:37,634
[911 officer speaking]
261
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:39,266
[man speaking]
262
00:14:46,533 --> 00:14:49,133
[Stacy]
So Deidre Hunt played a role in this crime?
263
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,867
Police need to start
looking into this protege of Kosta's.
264
00:14:55,967 --> 00:14:59,367
[Purvette] Deidre Hunt grew up
in Manchester, New Hampshire.
265
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,934
Her mother, unfortunately,
was bi-polar,
266
00:15:01,967 --> 00:15:03,667
uh, was abusive.
267
00:15:04,834 --> 00:15:08,734
Deidre was molested
at age seven
268
00:15:08,767 --> 00:15:11,867
and raped at age eleven.
269
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:15,634
So she experienced
a very traumatic childhood
270
00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:18,433
that she carried with her
wherever she went.
271
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,834
[Stacy]
It's not unusual that a child with a history of abuse
272
00:15:22,867 --> 00:15:25,900
can become a target
of a predator.
273
00:15:25,934 --> 00:15:30,333
Sadly, anyone whose
early life includes this much trauma
274
00:15:30,367 --> 00:15:33,800
is bound to have
serious emotional scars
275
00:15:33,834 --> 00:15:35,667
that they carry
into adulthood.
276
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,934
[David] It was a tough life,
but she was a tough gal.
277
00:15:39,967 --> 00:15:44,066
And eventually,
she finds her way for Manchester, New Hampshire
278
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:46,100
to the warmer climate
of Daytona Beach.
279
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:49,967
[Purvette] When Deidre
came to Daytona Beach,
280
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,467
she was really looking for
a fresh start, a clean slate
281
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,934
where she would be
in a different environment,
282
00:15:55,967 --> 00:15:57,333
meet new people.
283
00:15:57,367 --> 00:16:00,800
And um, ended up
at Top Shots where
284
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:02,767
she met Kosta Fotopoulos.
285
00:16:04,834 --> 00:16:09,300
[Michael] When law enforcement
hears of Kosta's affair with Deidre Hunt,
286
00:16:09,333 --> 00:16:10,967
they immediately go ahead
and pick her up.
287
00:16:12,533 --> 00:16:15,300
[David]
Deidre Hunt wanted to talk.
288
00:16:15,333 --> 00:16:18,600
But she also wanted promises.
289
00:16:18,634 --> 00:16:21,300
I told her,
"I understand you wanna talk to me.
290
00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:23,100
What is it
you wanna talk about?"
291
00:16:23,133 --> 00:16:25,900
She looked up at me and says,
"I don't know what to do.
292
00:16:25,934 --> 00:16:27,900
If I talk to you,
Kosta will hurt me."
293
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,266
When she looked up at me
with those big eyes,
294
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:36,433
you could almost
feel her, literally trying to draw me in.
295
00:16:36,467 --> 00:16:39,166
You could tell that
she was a seductress.
296
00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:43,567
I said, the only thing
I can promise you
297
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,266
is I'll listen to
what you have to say.
298
00:16:46,433 --> 00:16:51,000
Like a burst dam,
she starts to tell the story.
299
00:17:26,367 --> 00:17:28,900
Yeah, during the interview,
Deidre was very
300
00:17:29,934 --> 00:17:33,333
specific on the relationship
she had with Kosta.
301
00:17:33,367 --> 00:17:39,200
She knew that he was married
to Lisa and at that didn't seem to bother her one bit.
302
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,033
They had plans together
303
00:17:42,066 --> 00:17:44,834
and the plan was to kill Lisa
304
00:17:44,867 --> 00:17:47,333
so that they could get married
in the future.
305
00:18:17,533 --> 00:18:21,900
That moment really explodes
the investigation
306
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:24,133
in a different direction.
307
00:18:24,166 --> 00:18:26,700
Changing Kosta Fotopoulos
from a hero
308
00:18:26,734 --> 00:18:30,266
to the chief suspect
in the attempted murder of his wife.
309
00:18:31,233 --> 00:18:33,667
That's when all hell
breaks loose.
310
00:18:39,333 --> 00:18:42,266
Deidre starts to tell us
about the plot to kill Lisa.
311
00:18:44,266 --> 00:18:46,400
[Michael] Deidre Hunt told
law enforcement that
312
00:18:46,433 --> 00:18:50,233
she recruited Bryan Chase
and she basically told him,
313
00:18:50,266 --> 00:18:52,066
you'll get $5,000.
314
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,300
Here's a .22 caliber revolver.
315
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:57,166
What I want you to do is
I want you to
316
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,834
fake a home invasion
and I need you to kill Lisa
317
00:18:59,867 --> 00:19:01,567
and needs to be done
right away.
318
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:45,600
This inexperienced
young, naive man
319
00:19:45,634 --> 00:19:48,367
had several attempts
that failed.
320
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,600
I think one time
he tried to throw a brick through the window
321
00:19:51,634 --> 00:19:52,967
and couldn't break the window.
322
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,834
Then a second time,
the activated motion detector light came on
323
00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:58,333
and he got spooked.
324
00:19:58,367 --> 00:20:01,600
The third attempt was
actually the time when they staged the break in.
325
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,934
[Purvette]
When Bryan shot Lisa,
326
00:20:36,967 --> 00:20:40,200
Kosta shot him five times,
killing him.
327
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:45,500
Bryan couldn't collect
the $5,000
328
00:20:45,533 --> 00:20:48,333
and he couldn't go to police.
329
00:20:48,367 --> 00:20:51,533
[Stacy]
This is a manipulative and twisted plan for sure.
330
00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:54,834
But notice Deidre's
dead pan delivery.
331
00:20:54,867 --> 00:20:57,834
Does she not realize
just how evil it is?
332
00:20:59,233 --> 00:21:01,867
[David] As she was
telling us all this,
333
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:05,500
out of the blue, she says,
"Oh, by the way,
334
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:09,300
we killed this boy
in the woods a couple of weeks ago."
335
00:21:09,333 --> 00:21:12,800
And at that moment, honestly,
I almost fell back in my chair
336
00:21:12,834 --> 00:21:14,767
because I don't know
what I was expecting,
337
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,133
but I wasn't expecting this.
338
00:21:19,433 --> 00:21:24,867
And she starts to tell me
about the death of Mark Kevin Ramsey.
339
00:21:27,033 --> 00:21:28,634
[Deidre speaking]
340
00:21:36,367 --> 00:21:40,967
[Purvette] Kevin Ramsey
was a 19 year old from North Carolina.
341
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,033
He was a drifter
on the boardwalk,
342
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:44,600
but was well known.
343
00:21:44,634 --> 00:21:47,834
And he worked for
Kosta Fotopoulos at Top Shots.
344
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,066
[Michael] Deidre Hunt solicits
Mark Kevin Ramsey,
345
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:08,500
says, listen,
we're all members of this club
346
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:09,900
and in order for you
to be a member,
347
00:22:09,934 --> 00:22:12,100
we have an initiation process.
348
00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:13,600
We're gonna take you
out in the woods,
349
00:22:13,634 --> 00:22:14,767
you know,
we're just gonna pretend.
350
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,333
We're gonna tie you up.
We'll shoot at your feet
351
00:22:16,367 --> 00:22:19,467
and if you can tolerate that,
then you're in.
352
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:22,433
And of course,
with her attractiveness
353
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:26,567
and her sexuality,
she convinced him to go out there.
354
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,033
So he voluntarily agreed
to be tied to the tree
355
00:22:30,066 --> 00:22:32,634
knowing that they were
just gonna shoot at his feet.
356
00:23:01,734 --> 00:23:05,200
[Stacy] Was Deidre truly
afraid of Kosta,
357
00:23:05,233 --> 00:23:08,233
even though he claimed
to love her?
358
00:23:08,266 --> 00:23:10,433
Did she think he would
really shoot her
359
00:23:10,467 --> 00:23:12,000
if she made him angry?
360
00:23:12,033 --> 00:23:14,400
Given what she knew
he was capable of,
361
00:23:14,433 --> 00:23:16,567
maybe she had reason
to believe it.
362
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:39,867
[Michael]
Everyone's jaw just dropped.
363
00:23:40,734 --> 00:23:43,033
In the middle of
one investigation,
364
00:23:43,066 --> 00:23:45,000
now all of a sudden,
another murder comes up.
365
00:23:46,867 --> 00:23:48,400
[Joe] And so,
at that point, we're like,
366
00:23:48,433 --> 00:23:51,033
kind of flabbergasted that
she said that,
367
00:23:51,066 --> 00:23:53,867
but she said it
in just a nonchalant manner.
368
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,033
She outlined exactly
what happened
369
00:23:56,066 --> 00:23:57,233
out in the woods
370
00:23:57,266 --> 00:24:01,166
and she agreed to take us
to that homicide scene.
371
00:24:09,967 --> 00:24:11,467
[David] When the police
get there with her,
372
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:15,133
they immediately smell
the odor of a decaying body in the woods.
373
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:18,867
They go out into the woods
374
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:22,567
And as they search,
they find the decomposed body
375
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,800
of what appears to be
a young man.
376
00:24:25,834 --> 00:24:27,734
[Joe] The body was
tied to a palm tree
377
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:29,700
that was on a little bit
of an angle.
378
00:24:29,734 --> 00:24:32,967
And he was slumped over,
leaning forward.
379
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,266
Uh, he had been shot
three times in the chest.
380
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:40,233
And he had a large wound
to his head.
381
00:24:42,934 --> 00:24:47,533
[David] The remains
are ultimately identified through dental records
382
00:24:47,567 --> 00:24:50,367
as that of Mark Kevin Ramsey.
383
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,300
I went to Deidre,
to tell her that she was being arrested for murder.
384
00:24:56,433 --> 00:24:58,033
I can remember
her sitting there
385
00:24:58,066 --> 00:24:59,567
as I was standing
in front of her
386
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,066
and she looked up at me
and one of those,
387
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:05,367
kind of, doe eyed
kind of looks that she could give.
388
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,800
And it was almost as,
why are you arresting me?
389
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,734
How can she not know
390
00:25:12,667 --> 00:25:14,700
that she has murdered?
391
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:17,767
And that she's gonna be
held accountable for?
392
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:22,433
[Stacy] Given everything
Deidre Hunt went through as a child,
393
00:25:22,467 --> 00:25:27,800
it is entirely possible
she struggles with the idea of right and wrong.
394
00:25:27,834 --> 00:25:31,066
This is clearly
a damaged young woman.
395
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:35,166
[David] Ultimately,
Kosta Fotopoulos was
396
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,066
brought to the Daytona Beach
police department
397
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:39,333
and he agreed to
speak with the detectives.
398
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:01,467
[David] Kosta simply
denied everything.
399
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,567
He denied knowing people,
he denied being involved with Deidre.
400
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,000
He denied, of course,
being involved with
401
00:26:07,033 --> 00:26:09,200
any attempt or conspiracy
to murder his wife.
402
00:26:15,066 --> 00:26:20,667
The arrogance
and the way in the manner he answered questions...
403
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,000
Uh, he thought he was
the smartest guy in the room.
404
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,533
[David] During the interview,
one of the detectives
405
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:30,133
took out a photograph
of Mark Ramsey when he was alive
406
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:33,967
and asked Kosta if
he recognized Mark Ramsey.
407
00:26:46,634 --> 00:26:48,066
[detective speaking]
408
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:49,667
[Kosta speaking]
409
00:27:21,734 --> 00:27:25,333
[David] Regardless of
Kosta's claim of innocence,
410
00:27:25,367 --> 00:27:26,967
there was
more than enough evidence
411
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,433
at that point to arrest him.
412
00:27:28,467 --> 00:27:29,934
During the course
of the investigation,
413
00:27:29,967 --> 00:27:33,700
we got a lot of information
that there was some issues in the marriage.
414
00:27:34,934 --> 00:27:37,834
[Purvette] On October 25th,
Lisa received a call
415
00:27:37,867 --> 00:27:40,333
from a friend,
telling her that
416
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:43,667
Kosta was having an affair
with Deidre Hunt.
417
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:45,900
[Tony] Well, I told my wife.
418
00:27:46,634 --> 00:27:49,834
And my wife is the one
that told Lisa.
419
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,033
She confronted Kosta
for a divorce
420
00:27:55,066 --> 00:27:57,467
and Kosta knew
he would lose everything.
421
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,533
I think that's
what he put into motion.
422
00:28:00,567 --> 00:28:03,200
"Well, I can solve that.
I'll just kill her."
423
00:28:04,133 --> 00:28:07,266
[Stacy] This explains
the urgency Kosta showed
424
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:10,400
in getting the assassination
of Lisa planned
425
00:28:10,433 --> 00:28:12,066
and executed.
426
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:14,667
He didn't wanna lose
the power base he had built
427
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,066
out of her family's
boardwalk empire.
428
00:28:21,834 --> 00:28:24,367
[David]
We received information from Lisa
429
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,867
that was really strange.
430
00:28:26,767 --> 00:28:28,734
She revealed that
there had been
431
00:28:28,767 --> 00:28:31,467
some suspicious
activity by Kosta
432
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:36,100
and the activity had
surrounded a back yard barbecue pit
433
00:28:36,133 --> 00:28:37,867
that was on the side
of their house
434
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:39,600
and she had seen him
in the dead of the night
435
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,900
roaming around that
back yard pit.
436
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:45,867
It became apparent
that the search
437
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:49,266
of the Paspalakis home
was gonna be necessary.
438
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,600
My chief investigator
sees protruding
439
00:28:54,634 --> 00:28:59,166
out of this mound
a black bag.
440
00:28:59,934 --> 00:29:01,934
Inside,
there were two weapons.
441
00:29:05,367 --> 00:29:08,934
One was an AK-47
that Deidre Hunt had described
442
00:29:08,967 --> 00:29:10,834
Kosta Fotopoulos
carrying with him.
443
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
And the other was
a small caliber .22 handgun
444
00:29:15,033 --> 00:29:16,800
with a silencer attached.
445
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:20,533
All of which is
100% consistent
446
00:29:20,567 --> 00:29:23,300
with the story that
Deidre Hunt is telling us.
447
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:26,667
But she's also
told us something
448
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,266
that we never suspected.
449
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,533
And that's
that Kosta Fotopoulos
450
00:29:30,567 --> 00:29:34,300
had videotaped
the entire murder.
451
00:29:34,333 --> 00:29:38,333
Where is that tape?
Does it really exist? Can we find it?
452
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,934
[Stacy] Why would Kosta
have made such a tape?
453
00:29:42,967 --> 00:29:46,500
And if he did, why would he
be reckless enough to keep it?
454
00:29:49,934 --> 00:29:52,200
[Joe] Then we had
searched the garage
455
00:29:52,233 --> 00:29:54,934
and one of the investigators
noted a bag.
456
00:29:56,934 --> 00:29:59,700
Inside it was
a Sony 8mm tape.
457
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:05,567
[David] We had a cassette
and went back to the state attorney's office.
458
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,500
And everybody was
waiting to see the video.
459
00:30:08,867 --> 00:30:11,333
And Joe put the tape in.
460
00:30:12,834 --> 00:30:15,000
The room was dead silent
461
00:30:15,033 --> 00:30:16,767
and the tape began to play.
462
00:30:22,767 --> 00:30:25,333
And within seconds,
you can hear Deidre
463
00:30:25,367 --> 00:30:26,600
at that moment.
464
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,634
There was another person
that was video recording it.
465
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,934
We didn't see his face,
but we heard him.
466
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:46,333
Then the image came on
of who we knew to be
467
00:30:46,367 --> 00:30:48,634
Mark Kevin Ramsey
tied to a tree
468
00:30:48,667 --> 00:30:50,033
with his hands
behind his back.
469
00:30:53,233 --> 00:30:54,667
[Michael] It's not a movie.
470
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:56,934
It's not a recreation.
471
00:30:56,967 --> 00:31:00,967
It's actually Deidre Hunt
shooting Mark Kevin Ramsey.
472
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:05,667
[David] Deidre pulls out
a gun with a silencer
473
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:09,233
and she then fires three shots
into his chest.
474
00:31:09,266 --> 00:31:13,333
He immediately screams out
in pain and agony.
475
00:31:13,367 --> 00:31:16,500
She then, with her left hand,
takes hold of his
476
00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:19,700
right part of his head
with his long hair,
477
00:31:19,734 --> 00:31:22,000
pulls it down
and puts the gun
478
00:31:22,033 --> 00:31:25,967
up to his right temple
and shoots again, blowing out his brains.
479
00:31:28,333 --> 00:31:29,634
The tape stops.
480
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:32,033
The room was silent.
481
00:31:32,066 --> 00:31:34,433
We didn't know what to say.
Didn't know what to think.
482
00:31:35,634 --> 00:31:38,600
Never had me
or any of them
483
00:31:38,634 --> 00:31:40,800
to my knowledge had ever
seen something like this.
484
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,266
[Joe] I've seen
a lot of horrific acts
485
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,834
and victims of crimes.
486
00:31:46,867 --> 00:31:49,800
But the video recording
of Kevin Ramsey,
487
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:50,967
that was quite disturbing.
488
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,300
It's a nightmare.
489
00:31:53,333 --> 00:31:54,867
It'll always be a nightmare.
490
00:31:55,767 --> 00:31:57,634
At that moment,
I knew that
491
00:31:57,667 --> 00:31:59,834
my work from that point on
492
00:31:59,867 --> 00:32:02,266
was to get them convicted
and sentence them to death.
493
00:32:08,266 --> 00:32:11,734
Deidre Hunt entered a plea
to all of the homicides.
494
00:32:11,767 --> 00:32:14,467
Mark Kevin Ramsey,
Bryan Chase,
495
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,667
the attempted murder
of Lisa Fotopoulos.
496
00:32:35,967 --> 00:32:38,233
She pled guilty to the charges
497
00:32:38,266 --> 00:32:40,500
in an effort to
avoid the death penalty.
498
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:43,166
But ultimately,
the court sentenced her
499
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,867
to death by electric chair.
500
00:32:49,433 --> 00:32:52,567
With Kosta Fotopoulos,
there was a plea of not guilty.
501
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
"I didn't do anything.
I'm not involved.
502
00:32:55,233 --> 00:32:57,000
I'm the innocent victim."
503
00:32:57,033 --> 00:32:59,800
So on October 8th, 1990,
504
00:32:59,834 --> 00:33:02,500
Kosta Fotopoulos'
trial begins.
505
00:33:04,133 --> 00:33:07,233
[Michael] Lisa had
an opportunity to testify
506
00:33:07,266 --> 00:33:11,567
and that testimony
that she provided to the jury
507
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,834
was very damning 'cause
it really set the theme
508
00:33:14,867 --> 00:33:16,834
of why these murders occurred.
509
00:33:17,834 --> 00:33:22,333
Her discovery of infidelity,
the affairs with Deidre
510
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:25,767
and her calling him out,
basically saying, okay,
511
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,967
you're out,
you're not gonna get anything
512
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,800
and you need to
pack up your bags and leave.
513
00:33:37,634 --> 00:33:39,934
[Michael] That was the reason
for his urgency
514
00:33:39,967 --> 00:33:41,967
in trying to
eliminate witnesses,
515
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,100
destroy evidence,
or ultimately
516
00:33:45,133 --> 00:33:47,867
cause the death of Lisa
in an effort to
517
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:50,533
gain her life insurance
and potentially be an heir apparent
518
00:33:50,567 --> 00:33:52,567
to the Paspalakis empire.
519
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:56,767
Deidre Hunt
was called to the stand.
520
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,300
And here you have
a young girl,
521
00:33:59,333 --> 00:34:03,033
very attractive,
and the jury was
522
00:34:03,066 --> 00:34:05,667
just enthralled
with her testimony.
523
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,266
She presented
very compelling testimony
524
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:11,734
all against Kosta Fotopoulos.
525
00:34:11,767 --> 00:34:16,767
How he was the mastermind
or the conductor of this murder orchestra.
526
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,834
She described her relationship
with Kosta
527
00:34:32,867 --> 00:34:35,200
where he was very controlling,
528
00:34:35,233 --> 00:34:37,500
a manipulating person.
529
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:43,634
[Tony] A lot of people just
thought that Deidre was brainwashed by Kosta
530
00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:46,600
and that he was
mentally cruel to her,
531
00:34:46,634 --> 00:34:48,166
physically cruel to her.
532
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,967
He did all these horrible,
horrible things to her.
533
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,500
And that's why
she did what she did because,
534
00:34:54,533 --> 00:34:56,100
out of fear for her life.
535
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,734
[Michael]
Deidre Hunt portrayed herself
536
00:34:59,767 --> 00:35:03,066
as the wounded victim
and that she was,
537
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:07,467
you know, threatened by him,
physically and mentally abused by him.
538
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,367
There was clearly manipulation
on both sides here.
539
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,166
But Kosta was desperate
to have Lisa killed.
540
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,233
And it seems he believed
he had reason to kill the others as well.
541
00:35:19,867 --> 00:35:23,333
[Joe] During the trial,
there was some evidence
542
00:35:23,367 --> 00:35:27,333
with regards to
a counterfeiting scheme.
543
00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:31,033
Mark Kevin Ramsey was
not only working at Top Shots,
544
00:35:31,066 --> 00:35:34,567
he had seen Kosta Fotopoulos
using counterfeit money.
545
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,667
He had gone to Kosta
in an attempt to blackmail.
546
00:35:39,433 --> 00:35:43,600
[Michael] So Kosta says,
oh, let me kill two birds with one stone.
547
00:35:43,634 --> 00:35:46,300
Let me eliminate
Mark Kevin Ramsey,
548
00:35:46,333 --> 00:35:48,300
but at the same time,
let me let Deidre Hunt do it,
549
00:35:48,333 --> 00:35:50,834
so that way I can
use that as blackmail
550
00:35:50,867 --> 00:35:53,533
or influence over her to do
anything I tell her to do.
551
00:35:57,734 --> 00:36:01,934
[Purvette] About 3:00 am,
October 20th, 1989,
552
00:36:01,967 --> 00:36:05,600
Kosta drove Deidre and Kevin
553
00:36:05,634 --> 00:36:10,233
out to a remote,
wooded area on I-95.
554
00:36:10,266 --> 00:36:13,233
[Joe]
Based on his instructions, she shot Kevin Ramsey
555
00:36:13,266 --> 00:36:16,133
three times in the chest
and then once in the head.
556
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,834
Kosta was video recording her
and giving her instructions
557
00:36:21,867 --> 00:36:25,500
and she alleged that
he held an AK-47 on her,
558
00:36:25,533 --> 00:36:27,600
making sure
she went through with it.
559
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,367
That videotape was
a videotape to guarantee her silence
560
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,200
because it would show
her murdering someone
561
00:36:36,233 --> 00:36:40,333
without having Kosta
in front of the camera.
562
00:36:40,367 --> 00:36:44,033
[Stacy]
It's like Kosta is playing a one sided chess match
563
00:36:44,066 --> 00:36:46,300
manipulating
all of the players.
564
00:36:47,934 --> 00:36:50,900
Deidre claimed that
she was left no choice,
565
00:36:50,934 --> 00:36:54,567
but to carry out
the death of Mark Kevin Ramsey
566
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,634
and to participate
in soliciting other people to kill Lisa.
567
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,333
[Michael]
She recruited Bryan Chase to fake a home invasion
568
00:37:04,367 --> 00:37:06,200
and then kill Lisa.
569
00:37:07,634 --> 00:37:10,166
He was assisted by
Kosta Fotopoulos
570
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,900
to ultimately walk up
into that upstairs bedroom,
571
00:37:13,934 --> 00:37:18,000
open the door,
walk around this king sized bed,
572
00:37:18,033 --> 00:37:20,000
aim at Lisa
573
00:37:20,033 --> 00:37:22,967
and pull the trigger
and shoot her in the head.
574
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,533
And then the gun jams.
575
00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:30,000
Fotopoulos being
the deviant diabolical person
576
00:37:30,033 --> 00:37:31,767
that he was, was smart.
577
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,634
I don't have to pay him
five grand 'cause
578
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:35,333
I'm just gonna
shoot him dead right there.
579
00:37:37,767 --> 00:37:40,500
Kosta Fotopoulos
took the stand on his own defense.
580
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:43,066
He denied everything.
581
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,066
According to Kosta,
none of the physical evidence was real.
582
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:54,367
It was all planted.
583
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,233
He didn't do anything wrong.
584
00:37:56,266 --> 00:37:58,700
And in fact,
he was well within his rights
585
00:37:58,734 --> 00:38:02,333
to shoot Bryan Chase
who had come in to murder his wife.
586
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:05,233
Um, and that he had
no remorse whatsoever
587
00:38:05,266 --> 00:38:06,467
having done that.
588
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:08,600
In fact, he even said,
if you came into my house
589
00:38:08,634 --> 00:38:10,000
like that,
I would shoot you too.
590
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:16,567
[Joe] The biggest evidence
we had was the video recording
591
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,567
of the homicide in the woods
592
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,233
where Kevin Ramsey
was murdered.
593
00:38:21,266 --> 00:38:23,266
And we needed to prove that
594
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:24,934
that was Kosta
Fotopoulos's voice
595
00:38:24,967 --> 00:38:27,734
giving the instruction
to Deidre Hunt.
596
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,066
So I took that tape
to six people
597
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:34,467
in the community
598
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:39,767
where they identified
Kosta as the person on the tape.
599
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,266
I'd know his voice
from anywhere.
600
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:46,734
So I picked him out
out of eight or ten,
601
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:49,400
and which it was
the correct one.
602
00:38:49,433 --> 00:38:52,700
[Stacy] It was always a gamble
for Kosta to keep that tape.
603
00:38:52,734 --> 00:38:56,266
And it turns out
he was gambling with his life.
604
00:38:57,667 --> 00:39:04,367
On October 25th, 1990,
the jury returned verdicts on all counts.
605
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,900
Kosta was found guilty
of two counts of premeditated murder.
606
00:39:08,934 --> 00:39:12,667
The attempted
first degree murder of Lisa Fotopoulos
607
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:16,000
and conspiracy to commit
first degree murder.
608
00:39:17,734 --> 00:39:20,600
The court sentenced him
to the electric chair.
609
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:25,700
In 1995,
Deidre Hunt sentence
610
00:39:25,734 --> 00:39:27,467
is thrown out on appeal.
611
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,700
A retrial
finds her guilty again,
612
00:39:30,734 --> 00:39:34,667
but her sentence is reduced
to life without parole.
613
00:39:37,033 --> 00:39:41,233
Deidre Hunt hopefully will
spend the rest of her life in prison and die there.
614
00:39:41,266 --> 00:39:45,000
Kosta Fotopoulos, God willing,
will die by death penalty
615
00:39:45,033 --> 00:39:46,433
before I pass away.
616
00:39:46,467 --> 00:39:48,467
So that's my wish
and my hope
617
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:50,800
that I get to see
that sentence carried out.
618
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:56,533
[Michael]
Lisa is happily remarried.
619
00:39:57,634 --> 00:39:59,100
She has moved on.
620
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:01,834
She's very happy
to be alive
621
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:05,066
and she's enjoying her life
with her spouse
622
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:07,066
and I'm very happy for her.
623
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:08,834
So there is a happy ending.
624
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:13,166
[Purvette] The bullet is still
lodged in her head.
625
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,100
And it's a constant reminder
626
00:40:15,133 --> 00:40:17,834
of the tragedy
she experienced.
627
00:40:17,867 --> 00:40:19,600
She has it everyday
in her mind.
628
00:40:19,634 --> 00:40:20,600
Everyday.
629
00:40:26,834 --> 00:40:29,233
Deidre came out
smelling like a rose.
630
00:40:29,266 --> 00:40:30,834
In my opinion,
'cause you know
631
00:40:30,867 --> 00:40:34,433
she's running her cell block.
I guarantee you.
632
00:40:34,467 --> 00:40:37,400
She led everybody around
by their nose.
633
00:40:37,433 --> 00:40:39,300
That's why I say,
634
00:40:39,333 --> 00:40:41,467
Kosta didn't dominate her.
635
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:43,166
They dominated each other.
636
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,433
[Joe] I think Deidre
is an opportunist
637
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:49,533
and she saw money
638
00:40:49,567 --> 00:40:51,533
with Kosta.
639
00:40:51,567 --> 00:40:55,000
And Kosta was a very
manipulating type of person
640
00:40:55,033 --> 00:40:57,433
and understood
how to control her.
641
00:40:59,033 --> 00:41:03,700
I think he planned out
his moves very thoroughly.
642
00:41:03,734 --> 00:41:05,567
[David] Deidre Hunt
and Kosta Fotopoulos
643
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,400
were both manipulating
each other
644
00:41:07,433 --> 00:41:08,967
to get what they desired.
645
00:41:09,734 --> 00:41:11,967
They wanted money.
They wanted power.
646
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,634
And these people
were heartless.
647
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:21,500
[man] My friend goes,
648
00:41:21,533 --> 00:41:23,967
"Get everybody out of that
house, that's a crime scene."
649
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,266
[man 2] They were trying to
650
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:28,533
live out a version
of Natural Born Killers,
651
00:41:28,567 --> 00:41:31,100
coast to coast
crime spree,
652
00:41:31,133 --> 00:41:34,200
stealing, killing.
653
00:41:34,233 --> 00:41:35,867
[man 3] They had
nothing to lose.
654
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:37,300
Who knows what
they were gonna do next?
