  Speaker 1: Now, a special two-part edition of 48 Hours.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I really hadn't even heard of the dark web before.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: It's just scary. It's a scary movie to me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: This is terrifying. And it's as easy as going to Amazon.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a few clicks and you could hire a hitman.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You go to the website and you send an email.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Who you want dead, who you want hurt, they'll tell
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you how much money it's going to cost and you
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: pay for it.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Well, the dark web is everywhere.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: It's all over the world. It's got no borders.
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: I'm very familiar with the dark web and all the
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: cyber crime it contains. I discovered there's a lot of
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: sick people out there. And there are people around the
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: world in danger.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: And I had to do something about it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: On the dark web, everybody's anonymous. It's like a parallel internet.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: And sometimes we call it the internet's evil twin because
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: it is a place of absolute lawlessness. What makes it
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: dangerous is that it can't be policed.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: On the dark web, you can buy and sell drugs.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Any drug you want.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You can buy weapons.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Human trafficking.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Pornography of the most depraved types.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: And sometimes I've seen people trying to kill people.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Hitmen for hire advertise their services on the dark web.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: The Cosa Nostra is the proven, legitimate, deep web eBay
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: of crime. We offer you services to beat up, set fire,
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: or kill customer targets.
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: Hi, my name is Yura. We have hundreds of gang members, criminals,
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: and people who love to kill for money. They are anonymous.
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: You are anonymous. So come and get rid of those
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: nasty problems.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This is deadly serious. This is talking about the murder
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of a human being.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: You know, when you pay $ 10, 000 to get someone killed.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: These are dangerous people.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: These are messages from the user known as DogDayGod, one
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: of the most notorious users of the website.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: What's the first sentence that DogDayGod writes?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I'm looking to hire you for a hit.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: 911, what's the address of the emergency?
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: I think my wife shot herself. There's blood all over.
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: It took me about six minutes to get to the house.
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: It soon became clear that it was not a suicide.
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: Someone had killed her. She was a devoted wife, a
• 3:29
  Speaker 10: loving mother who had many friends.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, my friend was taken from me. It's like
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: road rage 10 times, but through the internet. That's just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: too close to me. It scares me to death.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Tonight, we're going to take you on one of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: strangest journeys ever on 48 Hours. It's a murder investigation
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that begins not far from here in small town Minnesota.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and then takes us to here in Texas, here in California,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to here in Tennessee, to 4,000 miles away here in London.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 48 Hours explores the alarming world of murder for hire
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on the dark web and follows the story wherever it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: leads to expose an international criminal organization and hunt for
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a murder mastermind across the globe Named Yura. How recently
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: has Yura threatened your life?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it was about a week ago.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to take this guy down.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: I will be waiting for you on the deep web.
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: 48 Hours.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: Murder on the Dark Web.
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: Reported by Peter Van Sant.
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: A hitman marketplace is like any other auction site. It
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: brings customers and vendors together.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You're looking at a man who says he's behind an
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: international murder empire named Besa Mafia. He calls himself Yura.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: His real name is unknown.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Any hitman is welcome to sign up, but not all
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: will be accepted.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: His website invites would-be killers to send him hitman audition tapes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: What you are about to see can't be verified because
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it was anonymously posted online. Is this a real hit?
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: If one searches online for I quote, shot dead on street.
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: One will find plenty of news about people being shot
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: dead in the street by unknown people that shoot and
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: leave the site. Those are our hitmen. We will be
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: waiting for you to come place your orders and get
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: rid of your problems.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yura's ominous brand of high-tech terror extends from an unknown
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: location to the smartphones, tablets, and laptops of Middle America.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: In fact, we discovered Yura and his hitman-for-hire website while
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: investigating the shooting death of Amy Allwine in the Minneapolis
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: suburb of Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Amy and her husband Stephen,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: both 43, seem to live a quintessential American life, surrounded
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: by friends, family, and dogs. Lots of them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Yes, good boy!
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Nice job!
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Amy ran a dog training business, while Stephen, a freelance
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: IT expert, worked from their home. They were college sweethearts,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: married in 1996, and eventually adopted a young boy. Joseph
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: is now 10.
• 7:27
  Speaker 12: When she talked about her son, her face changed from
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: happy to happier, if that's possible.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Always thinking of others, Amy was the salt of the earth,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: says her friend, Jane Sharp.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: You could look in her eyes and just see good.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Faith was important too, says Washington County prosecutor, Jamie Kreiser.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: They were members of the United Church of God, as
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: were all of their family members.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Stephen, a respected elder in the church, delivered sermons, counseled couples,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and even made videos with Amy demonstrating dance moves that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: complied with their conservative religious beliefs. But sometime, somewhere, warm-hearted
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Amy Allwine had made an enemy. In the spring of 2016,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: long before we began our investigation, The FBI learned about
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a murder-for-hire site called Besa Mafia, people paying for other
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: people to be killed, and began looking into it. Pouring
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: over that treasure trove of dark web data, FBI agents
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: were startled to learn that dozens of people had ordered
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: contract killings all over the world. But one in particular
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: stood out. Someone using the chilling screen name Dog Day
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: God had ordered the assassination of a woman in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Her name, Amy Allwine.
• 9:02
  Speaker 13: It was a case where the FBI had approached us
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: about some concerns regarding Amy and threats on the internet.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Cottage Grove Police Captain Randy McAllister. Dog Day God says,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I need this bitch dead. So please help me. There
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: was an urgency.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: Dog Day God is sort of chomping at the bit
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: for this to happen.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Dog Day God said, Amy has ruined my life and
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: stolen my business.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Eileen Ormsby, an Australian writer and CBS News consultant, learned
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: about the Allwine case while researching a book about the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: dangers of the dark web.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: So here we have hacking services, stolen PayPals and credit cards.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: The dark web is the name that we give to
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the group of websites that can't be accessed using Google
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: or any of your normal search engines. You need to
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: download special software and then it opens up this new
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: world to you. The technology behind it was actually developed
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: by the US military to hide military secrets. So that
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: sort of security obviously offers criminals great security as well.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: The killing of Amy Allwine had been ordered on that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: hitman website, Besa Mafia.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Yura is the owner of Besa Mafia and subsequent websites
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: that are the most profitable group of murder-for-hire sites that
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: have ever existed.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Ever existed?
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Ever existed.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Ormsby's research led her to a like-minded colleague half a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: world away in London. Chris Montero, IT specialist by day,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: white hat hacker by night, had also found Besa Mafia.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: If you pass the barrier of having paid money to
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: get someone killed, you are mentally committed to doing that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Chris didn't want us or our footage to reveal the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: location of his apartment.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: The people who would use this website are, in many cases,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: dangerous people.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Because these are people who genuinely want to have someone
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: else murdered.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, and in many cases are paying a significant amount
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: of money for this.
• 11:11
  Speaker 13: Dog Day God spent a lot of money to have
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Amy Allwine murdered.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Dog Day God wanted her dead badly enough to pay
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yura and the Besa Mafia site more than $ 12, 000 in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the digital currency Bitcoin.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Bitcoin is an online currency.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Even financial transactions are made anonymously on the dark web,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: says prosecutor Kreiser.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Bitcoin is untraceable because when you use Bitcoin, it is
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: done through what is called a wallet.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And so once I get a Bitcoin wallet, I can
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: use that to pay for these services on the dark web.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Even murder.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: With the hit against Amy bought and paid for, the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: FBI had to tell her and Stephen the frightening news.
• 12:00
  Speaker 14: I believe it was May 31st of 2016.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Cottage Grove detective Terry Raymond rode along with the FBI
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: Well, we brought her into an interview room.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: You had to ask the The question, Amy, do you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: know anyone in your life who would want you dead?
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: And she didn't.
• 12:19
  Speaker 14: She was completely shocked and had no clue who it
• 12:23
  Speaker 14: could possibly be.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Raymond says at the time, the FBI never mentioned anything
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to him or the Allwines about Yura, Besa Mafia, or
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Dog Day God. But they told her there was a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: murder-for-hire plot against her on the dark web.
• 12:40
  Speaker 14: It was the FBI's investigation. They have people that are
• 12:43
  Speaker 14: familiar with the dark web. Other than an extra patrol thing,
• 12:46
  Speaker 14: it's not something we would get involved in.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: The authorities advised Amy and her husband to beef up
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: their home security and then left.
• 12:56
  Speaker 13: They installed a video surveillance system and they purchased a pistol.
• 13:01
  Speaker 13: So they had taken steps.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And Amy Allwine, from that point on, lived with this
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: knowledge that someone wanted her dead.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Then, two months later, In July 2016, Amy got another
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: death threat, this time sent directly to her. Amy, I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: still blame you for my life falling apart. Here is
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: what is going to happen. I will come after everything
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: else that you love. Suddenly, the threat to kill hung
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: over Amy's entire family, including her son Joseph, then eight
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: years old. Here is how you can save your family.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Commit suicide. So why not do it now and save them? Now,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: how seriously do you take this threat?
• 13:51
  Speaker 13: You have to investigate it as much as you can.
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: The problem is the email was sent from was anonymized,
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: so it was untraceable. And so the house is up
• 14:01
  Speaker 13: here on the left.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But someone did want Amy Allwine dead. And soon enough,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: she would be.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: 911, what's the address of the emergency?
• 14:20
  Speaker 15: Sergeant Gwen Martin was just starting the night shift on
• 14:31
  Speaker 15: November 13th, 2016.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: 911, what's the.
• 14:34
  Speaker 16: Address of the emergency?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: When a 911 call came in, that made many on
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the Cottage Grove Police Department drop what they were doing.
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: The caller was telling them that a female had shot herself.
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: I think my wife shot herself.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: There's blood all over.
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: We get in the squad cars and we start going
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: to the scene. The adrenaline is pumping.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Your heart's beating fast.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: As an 18-year veteran patrol cop and experienced paramedic, Martin
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: says she was trained to be ready for anything. But
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: nothing had prepared her for a message she received from
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: dispatch about halfway through her six-minute drive to the scene.
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: I knew it was Amy.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Martin had grown fond of Amy Allwine after teaching her
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in an eight-week course for citizens to learn about law
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: enforcement and emergency services. They'd last seen each other just
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: two weeks earlier at graduation.
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: My heart stopped. No, this isn't possible. Amy wasn't suicidal.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: Amy was happy. She had a husband. She had a son.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: What possibly could be going on?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: As Martin rounded a final curve on the pitch black
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: country road, the taillights of first responders at the scene
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: appeared in her windshield.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: And that's the house there.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's the house there.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: She says she entered the house still hoping that the female...
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: might be someone other than Amy. And what did you see?
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: I saw Amy lying on the floor, a pool of blood,
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: a blank look on her face, obviously dead.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Amy Allwine was sprawled on the bedroom floor. Her eyes
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: were open, her pants partially unzipped.
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: And I started crying. My mind was spinning. I was
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: whirling with disbelief, with shock.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Martin called Captain Randy McAllister at his home. He rushed
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to the scene, passing the all-wine son, Joseph, outside the house.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: The boy was being comforted by his father, Stephen. Did
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you happen to notice or did any of the officers
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: describe his demeanor?
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: At that point, no. He appeared calm to me.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: McAllister says he expected to find a suicide. But once
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: in the house, his nose detected something strange. A pumpkin
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: was roasting in the kitchen. So the notion would be
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that Amy Allwine put a pumpkin in the roaster, put
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: it in the oven, and then shot herself.
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, so that was really odd.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: It doesn't look like a suicide.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Amy's gunshot wound was easy to miss at first, a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: single bullet hole inside her right ear. The Allwines pistol
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was lying in the crook of her left arm, which
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: was perplexing because Amy was right-handed.
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: How did her hand end up under the bed and
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: the gun end up on her left arm?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Then McAllister studied the bloody scene around Amy.
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: I noticed what we call satellite blood drips that were
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: actually outside of the blood pool.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: At some point, Amy's head was suspended above those drops.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Meaning, prosecutor Jamie Kreiser says, that someone may have moved
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: her body to this spot. And when the crime scene
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: team did a luminol test looking for invisible bloodstains.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: It's lit up like a Christmas tree.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Bloody footprints, too faint to be seen with the naked eye,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: suddenly appeared everywhere.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: They went back and forth to the mudroom, but they
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: also went into the bathrooms. on the main floor and
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: they went into the son's bedroom.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: There were no immediate suspects. Amy's son was just a kid.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Her husband, Steven, had helped beef up security at the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: house after the FBI's warning, even bought a gun. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: agreed to be questioned down at the police station.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: We're a normal family. There's nothing unique, nothing strange.
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: The thing that stood out for everybody, I think, is
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: his demeanor.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: Came back up for lunch.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Even though Stephen Allwine had made that 911 call, McAllister
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: says Allwine was oddly calm for someone who had just
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: found his wife shot to death. Even when he started
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: crying at one point.
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: I guess I don't even know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: What to look for.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: I don't know what.
• 19:38
  Speaker 13: It just seemed kind of fake to me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Allwine told police he'd spent the morning working in his basement.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: He says when he came up for lunch, Amy wasn't
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: feeling well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: She was coming down with something.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Allwine said he'd given their son to Amy's parents for
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the afternoon.
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: He left the house at roughly 5.30 p.m. to go
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: pick his son up from the grandparents' house.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: From there, Allwine says he took his son for dinner
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and then drove home.
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: And the son apparently went right to the master bedroom
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: to look for his mom and found her on the floor.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: 911, what's the address of the emergency?
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: When people call 911, they're usually calling for help.
• 20:23
  Speaker 16: I need help.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: I need an ambulance.
• 20:25
  Speaker 16: I need the police.
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: They're in utter shock, despair.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I need help.
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: And his first line wasn't asking for help.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: I think my wife shot herself. There's blood all over her.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: It was more of a statement.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: As the 911 call went on, Stephen Allwine's distraught young son,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: who discovered his mother's body, had questions.
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: I don't know, bud. Come here.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He then asked... Are we going to remarry?
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: I don't know, bud.
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: Did you hear what I heard?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: What seemed like a chuckle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: There was nothing funny in that room, in that scene.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: No, nothing funny at all.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Although Stephen Allwine's behavior seemed fishy in the 911 call
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and police interviews, McAllister said there was no apparent motive
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: for him to kill his wife. And there was no
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: definitive evidence linking him to the death scene. At that
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: point in your mind, is this a murder case?
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: Thinking it's a murder case, I just don't know who done.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: It.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Amy Allwine's husband, Steven, called 911. I have it here.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I don't even want to hear her son.
• 22:07
  Speaker 17: That poor little boy.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Jane Sharp is furious that authorities who knew about the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: dark web hitman threat against her friend Amy Allwine didn't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: do more to protect her.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I think they failed her. They failed her.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So when you arrive at the residence, there's not a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: sense of the husband might be someone we should really
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: keep our eye on?
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: No, we didn't discuss any of that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Terry Raymond and Randy McAllister from the Cottage Grove Police
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: say This was the FBI's case. The feds took the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: lead that day. Local police say they did everything they
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: could for Amy, warned her to take security precautions and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: increase patrols in her area.
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: You can't park a car indefinitely outside of somebody's house
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: unless you have more specific information.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: We wanted to ask the FBI about the Allwine case,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: but the Bureau declined our request for an interview. Since 2015,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero had been sounding the alarm about dark web
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: murder-for-hire sites. He'd been writing online articles to argue that
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: many hitman sites were phony. In 2016, he says he
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: noticed someone had edited one of his posts about Besa Mafia,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: insisting it was real. This is Jura doing this?
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So he's basically saying, this guy's not right, don't listen
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to him. You can have people killed.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: An online argument ensued. The sniping continued for months until
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Chris says he received a chilling video from Yura in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: his inbox.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: And in this.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Video is someone holding up a piece of paper with
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: my domain name, and there's a big flame, and a
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: car's being torched.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: It was very, very surreal. At this point, I didn't
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: know what to do.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Chris called a lawyer the next day. In the following weeks,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: as the threats from Yura continued, he sought help and
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: support from his online community, including author Eileen Ormsby in Australia.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Did you interpret this as a threat upon Chris's life?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, we both did.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Chris also saw it as a declaration of war.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I was going to take this guy down.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That was easier said than done. Yura's sites were encrypted,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and he regularly changed their names.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: To customers... Law enforcement can't easily close our site because
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: the IP is hidden. Hosting is hidden.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Then Chris developed a special computer code to hack into
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the Basit Mafia site. So you were able to see
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: all the communication that's gone between customers and Jura himself
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and his responses.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: What are you discovering?
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: I discovered there's a lot of sick people out there
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: and in many cases being very graphic about how they
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: want the person to suffer I would like this person
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: to be shot and killed. I have a very strong
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: motive to kill my daughter. Do you know where I
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: can hire someone to rape another person? Do you pour
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: acid on my target? If so, how much does it cost?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Did you come across someone who used the handle Dog
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Day God?
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, I did.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: The target in this kill order was Amy Allwine. Chris
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: found scores of messages between Dog Day God and Yura
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: discussing how, where, and when the hit would take place.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: What did Dog Day God want done?
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: The target killed whilst they were on a particularly given date.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Dog Day God writes, I am looking to hire you
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: for a hit. Yura writes back, we can plan the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: hit when you are traveling outside the city for a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: day or two. This makes everyone know you could not
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: be the murderer. Dog Day God again. The target will
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: be traveling out of town to Moline, Illinois. What is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the price in Bitcoin for a hit and ideally making
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it look like an accident? Normal killing by gunshot is $ 5, 000,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Eura responds. Killing to make it look like accident is $ 5, 000
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: plus max $ 4, 000. It's all organized. It's all ready to go.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Eura is offering everything here except airline miles, it seems,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: for this hit.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Dog Day God has a very intimate knowledge of Amy's whereabouts,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: her movements, and what she's going to be doing at
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: any one time.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: And Ormsby says Dog Day God's messages with Yura, which
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: began about nine months before Amy Allwine died, make clear
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that as time passed, Dog Day God had grown impatient
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: about having the hit carried out. March 20, 2016. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: want her gone. I need her gone. Chris says he
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: was so concerned about the hitman's sights, he contacted the FBI.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: I spoke to an agent there and explained the situation.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: He admits he didn't get into specifics about any plot
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in particular and says the conversation went nowhere. He eventually
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: gave up trying.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: This would take over my life even more than it has.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: But Chris's life was turned upside down in January 2017,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: when he learned about Amy Allwine's death.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: I was so upset when I found out, and this
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: is exactly what I tried to stop.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: It's really difficult.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Very painful for you. Back in Minnesota, police had been
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: investigating Amy's death since the day her body was discovered.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: They'd made an unusual find in the basement where Stephen lived.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: had an office.
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: He had a lot of very advanced electrical and computer equipment.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I heard there was as many as 66 electronic devices
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: down there. I mean, did it look like mission control?
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It was a lot, even for an IT professional like
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Stephen Allwine. And investigators unearthed startling cyber evidence in his email.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Stephen Allwine had been going on a website called Ashley Madison.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: It is a website for married people seeking extramarital affairs.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: A hack of a controversial social networking website.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Ashley Madison, whose client list was leaked in 2015, publicly
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: shaming some of the most rich and powerful adulterers in America.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: How do you think she would have taken that news?
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: She'd have been crushed.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Jamie Kreiser says Stephen Allwine's position in the church would
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: have been in jeopardy if he divorced Amy.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Stephen Allwine had dated at least three women through different
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: internet forums. Those relationships ranged from a date to a
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: prolonged sexual relationship.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: This is one of those women, and read for yourself,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: their texts could never be heard in church.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That goes to motive in that Stephen Allwine did not want.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: To be married anymore.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: The incriminating evidence against Stephen Allwine was growing. They discovered
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Allwine had been shopping on the dark web for an
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: anti-nausea drug called scopolamine.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Taking a large amount of scopolamine would render you helpless, essentially.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Had he pulled the trigger himself or hired a hitman
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: from Jura's website? Jura claimed Amy's shooting was arranged on
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Besa Mafia in this video diary he sent us.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: The base of Mafia Hitman visited the Allwine residence and
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: shot his wife using her gun and then left the
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: location in a hurry.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Either way, Amy's autopsy showed an enormous amount of scopolamine
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in her system.
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: In high enough amounts, it can kill you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: In spite of the scopolamine in her system, in spite
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of the messages to the Hitman site, Randy McAllister was
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: lacking absolute proof that Stephen Allwine was involved in Amy's death.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Could someone else have used Allwine's computers?
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: I really didn't latch on to Stephen Allwine as the
• 30:37
  Speaker 13: suspect until December 12th.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: December 12th, 2017. That's the day McAllister got a call
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: from another investigator who had just made another crucial discovery.
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: Stephen moves from being the grieving spouse of Amy to
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: the suspect in her murder.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I've worked on many murders in my career. This one,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: far and wide, the most complex, trying case I have
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: ever worked on as a prosecutor.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: On December 12th, 2016, authorities in the Allwine investigation caught
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: their biggest break of all. Is there a smoking gun
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: in this case, in your opinion?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: There is a smoking gun in this case.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor Jamie Kreiser says the smoking gun was a 34-character
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: code in a message from Dog Day God paying for
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Amy's murder in Bitcoin, that digital currency that people on
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the dark web often use to buy and sell anonymously.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: The problem for Stephen Allwine was that the code was
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: on his computer. Kreiser says it could not have been
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a coincidence. So in the end... Who is Dog Day God?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Dog Day God is Stephen Allwine.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: The man who swore to God that he would love, honor,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and cherish Amy Allwine is now suspected of sending her
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to an early grave.
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: We know he tried to hire a hitman to kill her.
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: We know he tried to poison her. He tried to
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: get her to kill herself. with these emails.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: That didn't work.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors say after waiting for nine months, Stephen Allwine was
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: so frustrated that the hit hadn't happened that he shot
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: his wife to death himself, using that nausea drug to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: render her helpless and the gun he'd bought for their
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: personal protection.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Hi there.
• 32:58
  Speaker 18: I'm Michelle Fransk.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Stephen Allwine was arrested on January 17, 2017, On murder charges,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: he hired defense attorney Kevin DeVore. Let's get right to it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Did Stephen Allwine murder his wife Amy?
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: No.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: If he didn't, who did?
• 33:21
  Speaker 19: Well, there were threats that were being made directly to
• 33:24
  Speaker 19: Amy Allwine on the Internet.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: DeVore claims authorities had tunnel vision from the start, focusing
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: on Stephen Allwine and ignoring other possibilities. Now investigators say,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: nice try with that, but Stephen wrote all those emails.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: It was Stephen who sought to hire a hitman.
• 33:47
  Speaker 19: That's what they say, but they didn't provide us with
• 33:49
  Speaker 19: any proof that he sent those emails.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: There is a 34-digit code that The same code that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: was found on Stephen Allwine's laptop and on a cell phone.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Because how do you explain that?
• 34:04
  Speaker 19: Well, that was the best evidence the state had in
• 34:07
  Speaker 19: their case.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And the truth is you can't explain it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 19: You can't explain it, but there is another possibility of
• 34:13
  Speaker 19: how it got on there.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Incriminating evidence was uploaded to Stephen Allwine's computer from a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: device called S. Allwine iPhones. But DeVore will ask jurors
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to believe the phone wasn't Steven's. In any case, DeVore
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: says there's evidence a woman wrote messages like this one.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know how a like you got to my husband.
• 34:40
  Speaker 19: There were other women involved in Amy's life, friends of
• 34:44
  Speaker 19: hers and other colleagues that had full access to her internet,
• 34:48
  Speaker 19: to her home.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Andy says it was a woman after all, or at
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: least someone claiming to be, who tried to get Amy
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to commit suicide just months before authorities found her dead.
• 35:02
  Speaker 19: It appeared that it was another female that was angry
• 35:05
  Speaker 19: with Amy for allegedly having an affair with this woman's husband.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Police found no evidence Amy Allwine was having an affair
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: with anyone. It sounds like you're making up an excuse
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: for your client.
• 35:21
  Speaker 19: Well, let me tell you, as a criminal defense attorney,
• 35:23
  Speaker 19: my job is to defend my client to show that
• 35:26
  Speaker 19: he's not guilty.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Allwine's arrest rocked the United Church of God, where he
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: had been held in such high esteem. Officials issued a
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: statement expressing their profound shock and sadness. As Stephen Allwine's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: murder trial approached in January 2018, authorities were winding down
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: their investigation. But 48 Hours was launching one of its own.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We wanted to learn more about the shadowy figure behind
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the Besa Mafia site.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: So I ventured into a very strange place for the
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: first time in my life, the dark web.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Jura had by this time closed down Besa Mafia and
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: opened a new hitman site called Cosa Nostra, another reference
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to the mob and organized crime. Again, these websites can't
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: be verified.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: This is the Cosa Nostra website on the dark web.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: You can see the pictures of somebody who's clearly been shot,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: a man with a gun, eyes hidden like he's a hitman,
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: cars that have been burned.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: We wanted to talk to Jura ourselves, so we wrote
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to him on the dark web. Amazingly, he responded almost
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: right away. Hi, I am Jura, he wrote. I got
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: your earlier message. And even more amazingly, agreed to an
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: interview with an important condition. He said it had to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: be in London. So we've flown from New York to London.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: rented this studio, you can see the lights behind me
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: for the big interview, and we even brought in a
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: master of disguise who's going to camouflage Jura's face. Now
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: all we need is him. Eileen Ormsby, who we brought
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: to London from Australia, joined us as we waited. What
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: do you know about Jura? Where does he live, do
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know where Jura lives, but I suspect he's
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: not too far away from us right now.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: On our second day, we got a message on the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: dark web. What did he say?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's coming.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Jura told us that he was convinced that we were
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: being followed by British intelligence. So we offered to meet
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: him in a public place where he could surveil us
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: and see that we were alone. We even offered to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: talk in a moving taxi, making our way through London.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: But Jura was convinced that if he showed up, so
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: too with the authorities.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I do have several millions to live a nice life
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: and start several businesses. Why should I risk being arrested
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and end up in jail?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero says he knows just how risky contact with
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Jura can be. He experienced it firsthand in his own home.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: February 4th, 2017. You're here in your flat in London.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: What happens?
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm just in the living room having some soup
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: and I hear some noises from the door. I'm thinking,
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: what's going on? So I come out and I go
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: here to listen.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: He says he'd spent months monitoring Jura when Jura cunningly
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: turned the tables on him.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Jura wasn't happy with me.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: He decided what he would do, he would try and
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: confuse the matters of who ran the website.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Not long before, he discovered that Yura was trying to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: frame him, claiming Chris ran the hitman's sights.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: And before I know it, there's a battering ram knocking
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: down the door. There's armored police bursting in. They pushed
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: me up against the wall here and saying, hands in
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: the air, you're under arrest for incitement to murder.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, what?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: He says he was amazed when cops confiscated his computers
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and locked him up. British authorities dropped the charges and
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: later refused our request for an interview about Chris Montero.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: What a nightmare.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: It wasn't fun. I do not recommend.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Knowing what Jura had done to Chris, we weren't surprised
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: that he backed out of an interview with us during
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: our four days here in London. But we didn't walk
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: away empty-handed. Jura did give us some information that took
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: our investigation into a whole new direction. The man who
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: apparently cornered the market in contract killings sent us a
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: video diary.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: I am doing this video diary entry to give you
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: official statements about the site.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And insisted he actually wanted to save lives. To prove it,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: he began giving us the names of the murder targets
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: from his sites.
• 40:14
  Speaker 19: Let me try him at his office first.
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: We wanted to touch base with you.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Normally, as journalists, we report the news and then do
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: our best to get out of the way. But this
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: was different. We found ourselves in the middle of an
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: apparent live marketplace for murder. And there was only one
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: thing we could do. Our team contacted authorities. We blurred
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: our staff's faces for security reasons. We have a tip
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: on a murder-for-hire plot.
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: Knows where the target works, knows where the target lives.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: And after we called authorities, we began approaching targets like
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: this woman ourselves.
• 40:55
  Speaker 18: Now I know that someone has a target on my back.
• 40:59
  Speaker 18: They were trying to murder me.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Good boy.
• 41:18
  Speaker 15: That was a good try.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: What do this dog trainer in Minnesota.
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: This Hollywood actress... You had no idea this was going on.
• 41:29
  Speaker 19: I had no idea.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: This hacker in London.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: The person's very, very serious about having Laurie killed.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: This single mom in Tennessee.
• 41:39
  Speaker 18: Why someone trying to murder me?
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: And this shadowy figure in an undisclosed location have in common?
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: A hit man goes and shoots a target from close range.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Murder for hire plots on the dark web. From the
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: American heartland to countries across the globe.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: He's being charged with something that could get him hanged.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: The tips that you have given 48 hours now total 30.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: in nine countries.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: It's a lot to take in, really.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: And 48 Hours helped expose them.
• 42:15
  Speaker 20: They just received a tip for a murder for hire
• 42:18
  Speaker 20: in Iran.
• 42:19
  Speaker 18: It's against a citizen of Taiwan.
• 42:20
  Speaker 16: It's a murder for hire plot unraveled.
• 42:23
  Speaker 21: Last week, police received a tip about the murder for
• 42:25
  Speaker 21: hire plot from the CBS news program 48 Hours.
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: Ms.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Jones, can I talk to you?
• 42:32
  Speaker 18: If it wasn't for 48 Hours, there would have been
• 42:35
  Speaker 18: a funeral.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Back at the airport, heading to California, where we're told
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: an arrest is imminent. Do you understand the terror that
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you have caused with this murder-for-hire plot? Coming up next.
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: This special two-part edition of 48 Hours will continue.
• 42:54
  Speaker 11: 48 HOURS 48.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Hours continues.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: On the dark web, everybody's anonymous. So you don't know
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: who you're dealing with.
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: There are people throughout this country, throughout this world, who
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: are wanting other people dead.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Hitmen for hire advertise their services on the dark web.
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: So many people don't know about the dark web, how
• 44:03
  Speaker 12: dangerous it is.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of it until this happened to Amy.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: To friends and family, they seemed like an all-American, church-going, caring,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: loving couple.
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: Until one day, the FBI discovered that somebody had paid
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: for a hit man to murder this woman. This hit
• 44:33
  Speaker 10: had been taken out on the dark web. Around 7 o'clock,
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: a 911 call came in to dispatch.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: 911, what's the address of the emergency?
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: I think my wife shot herself.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: There's blood all over.
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: She had a gunshot wound to her head. It soon
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: became clear that it was not a suicide. Someone had
• 44:56
  Speaker 10: killed her.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: Hi, my name is Yura. We have hundreds of gang members, criminals,
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: and people who love to kill for money.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Yura is the owner of the most profitable group of
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: murder-for-hire sites that have ever existed.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: You'd like to see Yura tracked down?
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he needs to be put away. It's
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: home to me, you know, now I've lost a friend.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: This is exactly what I tried to stop.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: The only person who could see this information and potentially
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: stop it was myself.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: And you're looking at this as a potential life or
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: death situation?
• 45:43
  Speaker 18: Absolutely.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: Laurie is in San Luis Obispo in California. The person
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: is very, very serious about having Laurie killed.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Our source has some important information about a murder for
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: hire plot in your county.
• 46:03
  Speaker 22: We will definitely work immediately on locating her today. We
• 46:07
  Speaker 22: have to consider that that particular victim's life is in danger.
• 46:11
  Speaker 23: We did a search of her apartment and could not
• 46:13
  Speaker 23: find her, which was alarming.
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: I got.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: You!
• 46:23
  Speaker 18: I never thought the dark web would be this dark.
• 46:32
  Speaker 18: From the moment I found out, I've been looking over
• 46:34
  Speaker 18: my shoulder. It is traumatizing. To this day, I still
• 46:40
  Speaker 18: have night terrors.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: You know, when you pay $ 10, 000 to get someone killed,
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: these are dangerous people.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone had any idea of where this
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: case was going to go.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: The tips that you have given 48 hours now total $ 33, 000.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: in nine countries.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: It's a lot to take in, really.
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: I work with CBS News. It's a murder-for-hire tip that
• 47:09
  Speaker 20: I have.
• 47:09
  Speaker 18: It's against a citizen of Taiwan.
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: Police received a tip about the murder-for-hire plot from the
• 47:14
  Speaker 21: CBS News program, 48 Hours.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Miss Jones, can I talk to you? We're heading now
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to California, where we have been told an arrest in
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: this case is imminent. Do you understand the terror that
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: you have caused?
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: Why did you do it?
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: The dark web is the place of absolute lawlessness, the
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: internet's evil twin.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: You can submit your orders to kill the people you hate.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: I will be waiting for you on the deep web.
• 47:46
  Speaker 21: MUSIC 48.
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: Hours, click for a killer. Reported by Peter Van Sant.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Some days, Jane Sharp mourns the loss of her friend,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Amy Allwine, by blowing off steam at the gym. Prosecutors
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: believe Amy's husband shot her in cold blood after his
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: attempt to hire a hitman failed. If you had an
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: opportunity to be alone in a room with Stephen Allwine,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: what would you like to say or do?
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that would be a good idea.
• 48:48
  Speaker 12: I'd probably kick box his ass.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, I would.
• 48:55
  Speaker 18: This person seems pretty serious.
• 48:57
  Speaker 20: There's a lot of U.S.-based hits, but it's all over
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: the world as well.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: As prosecutors prepared to try their case against Stephen Allwine,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: 48 Hours began its investigation into the criminal mastermind known
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: as Eura. We blurred our team's faces for security reasons.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: Hi, it's me, Yura again.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Yura had built a dark web empire advertising assassinations for
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: hire as described in this video diary he sent us.
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: The hitman usually goes to the target's address such as
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: home or workplace and waits for them inside a stolen
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: or rental car.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing about Yura including his diary can be verified.
• 49:41
  Speaker 20: This is his website now. He actually just rebranded it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: As reporters, our job is to cover the news. But
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: in a shocking turn of events, Jura began sending us
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: the names of targets, turning on his own customers. It
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: defied logic. We turned that information over to authorities.
• 50:11
  Speaker 12: I got you.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: One unlikely target, Sydney Miner.
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: I got you.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: She's a 22-year-old single mom living in Clarksville, Tennessee.
• 50:23
  Speaker 16: You ready to get down? What do you say?
• 50:27
  Speaker 18: It's very traumatizing to know that I could have been
• 50:30
  Speaker 18: that next person.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Clarksville police summoned Sydney to the station last April. after
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: 48 hours tipped authorities to the plot against her.
• 50:44
  Speaker 18: We sat in a little room and then he's like,
• 50:47
  Speaker 18: someone's trying to murder you. My instant reaction, I just
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: start crying.
• 50:51
  Speaker 15: I was like, why?
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Someone using the alias Blackjack85 had messaged Yura's website in
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: early February 2018.
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: You can access it to submit your orders to kill
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: the people you hate.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Providing Sidney's name, home address, and other details. Target works
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: at Woody's Restaurant on Madison Street. Sidney is hearing this
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: information for the first time. will be moving in a
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: week's time and harder to find, should be done as
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: soon as possible. That means kill you. Sydney was questioned
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: by a detective.
• 51:46
  Speaker 18: And that's when he asked me, who do you think
• 51:48
  Speaker 18: would want to kill you? And that's when I gave
• 51:51
  Speaker 18: him the four names.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Sydney names her ex-husband and her mother's ex-fiance. Both men
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: were cleared right away.
• 51:59
  Speaker 18: And then that left Brandon and Alexis.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Brandon States and Alexis Shelton had gone to the same
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: high school as Sydney. They'd gone on to marry and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: have a daughter. The detective must have asked you, so
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: why would you give me the name Brandon? What did
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: you tell him?
• 52:19
  Speaker 18: Told him that I was pregnant with his daughter.
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: When are you due?
• 52:27
  Speaker 18: I'm due September 20th of 2018. It is a girl.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: It's a girl.
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: You excited?
• 52:33
  Speaker 18: Yes, I'm very excited.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Brandon and Sydney had lost touch after high school. During
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the next four years, Sydney got married, had a son,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and divorced. By September of 2017, she started dating again.
• 52:50
  Speaker 18: So I was actually on a dating site, and he
• 52:54
  Speaker 18: popped up, He ended up messaging me. He was like, hey,
• 52:57
  Speaker 18: you look really familiar. And I was like, you do too.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: They started chatting.
• 53:02
  Speaker 18: He told me he was a father, that he had
• 53:04
  Speaker 18: a daughter. And he told me that he had recently gone.
• 53:06
  Speaker 15: Through a divorce.
• 53:07
  Speaker 18: So I was like, well, I can kind of relate
• 53:09
  Speaker 18: because I was doing the same thing.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: The pair began dating. Brandon was a newly minted Army
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: specialist stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia. He made the exhausting
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: eight-hour trip back and forth to Clarksville and to see
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Sydney on some weekends. Did you imagine a future with Brandon?
• 53:29
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I was starting to.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: But in January 2018, when Sydney told Brandon she was pregnant.
• 53:37
  Speaker 18: He was not happy. He wanted me to get an abortion.
• 53:41
  Speaker 18: He gave me $ 400.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: She says he also gave her some disturbing news.
• 53:47
  Speaker 18: He's married.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Brandon and Alexis were not divorced.
• 53:51
  Speaker 18: And he wants to get back with his wife. I
• 53:55
  Speaker 18: was heartbroken finding out that the guy I care about.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Is married.
• 54:03
  Speaker 18: It's not fun.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Sydney didn't know it yet, but Brandon was about to
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: allegedly start a new online relationship with a man named Yura.
• 54:15
  Speaker 11: Hi.
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: Welcome again to the Beeson Mafia Diary.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Having decided against the abortion, Sydney says she sent back
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Brandon's $ 400 and demanded he sort out his personal life
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: before an upcoming deployment in Korea.
• 54:33
  Speaker 18: I kept asking him, have you told Alexis yet? And
• 54:35
  Speaker 18: he said, no, I need more time. I was like, okay,
• 54:39
  Speaker 18: so here's the ultimatum. Either you tell her or I'm
• 54:42
  Speaker 18: going to tell her.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: But after a few weeks of waiting.
• 54:47
  Speaker 18: I messaged Alexis on Facebook. I'm pregnant with this child.
• 54:53
  Speaker 18: He told me he wasn't married.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: She says Alexis hinted that this wasn't the first time
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: she'd had trouble with Brandon.
• 55:00
  Speaker 18: She's like, good luck in the future. If the kid
• 55:02
  Speaker 18: is anything like the dad, you'll have your hands full.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Sidney told Brandon she'd go to military court if he
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: refused to pay child support.
• 55:11
  Speaker 18: He's like, you're making the wrong choice here so much
• 55:13
  Speaker 18: for not fighting. I said, oh, well, I think I'm
• 55:16
  Speaker 18: making the best choice here. And he said, you'll see.
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: You'll see.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see like, we'll see who has the last word.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Sydney didn't know that Yura soon would agree to arrange
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a hit on her. And we would soon learn she
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't the only one.
• 55:56
  Speaker 18: I don't like how you can't see around every corner
• 55:58
  Speaker 18: and then all the bushes.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: In April 2018, Sydney Miner began living life as a
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: target in a murder-for-hire plot.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: It's scary.
• 56:15
  Speaker 18: You will never look at life the same again.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: But just hours after notifying Sidney, Clarksville, Tennessee police informed
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: the army about 48 hours tip. And the next day
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: in Korea.
• 56:30
  Speaker 18: The detective calls me and lets me know Brandon has
• 56:33
  Speaker 18: been arrested.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: He confessed.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Brandon States was charged with several military violations, including an
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: attempt of premeditated murder.
• 56:46
  Speaker 18: I start crying. I was streaming tears. Look, I have
• 56:54
  Speaker 18: shoes on to go outside, silly.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: You worry sometimes, is there still a hit man out
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: there that has not done the murder for hires yet?
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: Every day.
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: Every day.
• 57:07
  Speaker 18: Brandon's in custody, but there's no person with a gun
• 57:11
  Speaker 18: in custody.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Like Amy Allwine, Sydney had been warned ahead of time
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: For Amy, it was too little, too late. Sidney feared
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: her ordeal wasn't over. She says she asked the detective
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: if Brandon's wife, Alexis, was part of the plot.
• 57:31
  Speaker 18: He said, we've taken all precautions. We don't believe she's
• 57:34
  Speaker 18: a part of it.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: A law enforcement source told 48 Hours, quote, there is
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: no evidence at this time that Mrs. Alexis States was involved.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: In London, white hat hacker Chris Montero had been monitoring
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Jura's websites as they rebranded and changed names. You're sure
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: this is the Jura that you've been pursuing all this time?
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Chris told us that Blackjack 85 seemed to grow impatient
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: when the hit he'd paid for didn't happen. The messages
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: are hard for Sidney to hear. Jura says to him, unfortunately,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: these basic hit men sometimes fail. as they are low
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: quality for low price, if you could afford a difference
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: of $ 5, 000, I can assign an expert hitman. There's a
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: pattern here, similar to the Allwine case. Jura can't seem
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: to get the job done, raising Chris Montero's suspicions of
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: whether Jura is really providing hitmen. What's more, it struck
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: him that Yura is always asking for more money.
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: But the truth is that most hitman sites are real.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: This must all be overwhelming.
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: And if this Yura fellow can be found, what would
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: you like to see happen to him?
• 58:58
  Speaker 18: The same fate he's been putting on everyone else.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: The death penalty?
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Yura was finished with Sidney, but not with 48 hours.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: He tipped us to yet another plot.
• 59:12
  Speaker 21: Last week, police received a tip about the murder-for-hire plot
• 59:16
  Speaker 21: from the CBS News program 48 Hours.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: This time, the person who allegedly hired the hitman is
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: a woman living near Chicago.
• 59:26
  Speaker 17: Tina Jones was allegedly in a wild love triangle accused
• 59:29
  Speaker 17: of trying to pay thousands in Bitcoin to have her
• 59:32
  Speaker 17: lover's wife murdered.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Meet 31-year-old registered nurse Tina Jones. From the outside, Tina
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: and her husband Toby seem to lead a fairytale life,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: at least according to social media. But less than two
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: years into her marriage, investigators believe Tina's eye began to wander.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and settled on a colleague, seen here in his school days.
• 59:59
  Speaker 24: We understand the allegation that she met an anesthesiologist at
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 24: the hospital and that they had a relationship.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Justin Kamich has been covering the story for the Daily Herald.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Tina's alleged boyfriend was also married to this woman. Authorities
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: believe Tina wanted her dead.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 24: The hitman was told to make it look like an
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 24: accident and that the husband was not to be harmed
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 24: in any way.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: In the commission of this crime. Acting on our tip,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: which originally came from Eura, authorities arrested Tina Jones on
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: April 17th and charged her with six felonies, including attempted murder.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero says authorities hadn't heeded his warnings about Eura.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: When he saw them listening to us, he gave 48
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Hours new target information from Eura's sites.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 20: 48 Hours, how are you?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Our team notified authorities from India.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 16: We've uncovered potential murder-for-hire plot.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Iran.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 20: Please give me a call back as soon as possible.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: Taiwan.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 18: I'm looking to reach anyone within Police Department of Taipei.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: And Singapore, where in May, police armed with our information
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: arrested this man, Alan Vincent. Vincent was later charged with
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: criminal conspiracy to murder the boyfriend of a female colleague.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 18: Hello, hey Michelle, AP Ting from Today here.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Wong Pei Ting covered the case for an online newspaper
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: in Singapore called Today. She says if Vincent is convicted,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: the notoriously strict Singapore courts may throw the book at him.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 6: He's being charged with something that could get him hanged.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: We've been working this story for several months now and
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: a tinge of suspicion has crept into our minds. Chris
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Montero has had access to Jura's database. He knows everything
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: about Jura. And it's time we ask him an important question.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: With your breadth of knowledge about Jura, your backdoor access
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: to what he does, people have wanted me to ask
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: you this question. Are you Jura?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: I am not Jura.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: So far, tips made by 48 Hours have led to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: three arrests. Brandon States in the Tennessee case, Tina Jones
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: in Illinois, and Alan Vincent in Singapore.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's amazing.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: But the most shocking arrest was yet to come in
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: a case right out of Hollywood.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: I never did it for the money.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 16: I did it because I had a lot of time
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 16: on my hands.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 21: Now I've got plans to make more plans.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: In Chris Montero's forays into the darkest corners of the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: dark web, he has seen illegal arms, drugs, and murder-for-hire sites. Chris,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you again. I want to touch
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: base with you. After the Tennessee and Illinois arrests last spring,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: he told us about another American targeted for murder on
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Eura's anonymous website.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: I keep my identity private, hide my face, my hands,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: everything that could help with recognition.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: They've submitted a photo of a woman called Lori.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: We're not using her last name or showing her face.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: In San Luis Obispo in California, the person is very,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: very serious about having Lori killed.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Seemingly so serious, we immediately contacted law enforcement. We're going
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: to call out to California a man named Dan Dow.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: He is the district attorney of San Luis Obispo County.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: This is Peter Van Sant. I just got off the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Skype with an internet expert in London. He has some
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: important information about a murder-for-hire plot. in your county.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 22: Okay, certainly very interested in hearing what you have.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: The target is a woman by the name of Lori.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: The person says that Lori is evil and wants this
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: kill made. What has been ordered is a hit that
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: looks like an accident because the customer in this case
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: feels that he or she would become very quickly a suspect.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 22: We will definitely make sure that she's as protected as possible.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 22: It's pretty unique to get a tip from the media.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I want to let you guys get on, do your business.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Dow's team starts its investigation right away.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 22: I have an email from Peter Van Zandt, background information
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 22: from the tip that he just gave us.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: The first order of business, find Lori and make sure
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: she is safe.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 22: Our first goal is to locate her.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Dow immediately alerts San Luis Obispo police, including the supervisor
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: of detectives, Lieutenant John Bledsoe. We don't know whether she's
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: alive at this point. As with the other targets on
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Yura's hitman sites, Lori is described in detail. She is
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: a blonde, middle-aged woman who drives a silver Mercedes with
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: a black convertible top.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 22: We have to consider that that particular victim's life is
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 22: in danger.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'm getting a text right now from one of
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: our detectives. It shows she does live in San Luis.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: The next day, Detective Susie Walsh leads colleagues to Lori's home.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: But there's a problem.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 23: We did a search of her apartment and could not
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 23: find her, which was alarming.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: You're worried, has somebody taken her somewhere? Somebody shot her, perhaps.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: To find Lori, Detective Walsh develops a ruse to use
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: with her son.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 23: That someone had simply reported her missing and we needed
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 23: to find her.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Lori's son does find her.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 23: And I told Lori, no less dramatic than this, but
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 23: I need you to come to the police department right away.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 23: I don't want you to make any stops. She was
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 23: very alarmed, and she said, I will go straight to you,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 23: and she did.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Detective Walsh brings Lori into this interrogation room. Their conversation
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: is recorded.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: This is so bizarre.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 23: And I said, is there someone that would want you dead?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 23: And that was just an absolute shock to her. She cried,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 23: she got up, she paced.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Just minutes later, Lori has an answer.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: That's the only person that I know.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Bo, B-E-A-U, Brigham.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 23: That's when Bo Brigham came to light.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: In addition to her son from a previous relationship, Lori
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: also has two step-sons, Brandon and Bo. from her 1999
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: marriage to Jeff Brigham, a successful restaurant and bar owner.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 23: Lori had co-raised Brandon and Bo since they were approximately
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 23: 10 years old. So she had a very longstanding familial
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 23: relationship with them.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Brandon eventually went into marketing. Bo took his shot at
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Hollywood stardom.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 8: I never did it for the money.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: I did it because I had a lot of time
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: on my hands.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: That's him lip syncing in a music video he co-produced.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: The music video that I saw is compelling to watch.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Did you find it impressive?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 16: It was very impressive.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 23: He had a company called Bowflix where he did videography
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 23: and photography in San Francisco.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Bo Brigham was also into extreme sports, living life on
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the edge. Their lives seemed picture perfect. Then tragedy struck.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 23: In 2011, Jeff Brigham dies unexpectedly from a massive heart attack.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 23: And Lori really truly didn't have any knowledge of how
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 23: to run the businesses. Now that started a place of contention.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Eventually, Lori lost one of the bars. Bo and Brandon
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: successfully sued their stepmother in 2013 and won a significant judgment.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 23: Lori becomes in debt to them in excess of a
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 23: million dollars.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Does she have the money to pay them?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: But she still had assets. If Lori dies, who benefits?
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 23: Beau and Brandon.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Both stood to gain an inheritance, but police quickly eliminate
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Brandon Brigham as a suspect. Detective Anthony Peluso says Beau
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: became their focus. but to prove him guilty.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: Hi, this is Euron.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 11: Again.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: They somehow have to prove he is the one who
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: sent the kill order on his stepmother to Jura's hitman website.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 17: The email chain provided by Chris Montero, we, I think,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 17: collectively had no clue what the dark web was when
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 17: we initially got this case.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: And just like in the Allwine case, the digital currency
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: Bitcoin is critical to proving a crime was committed. This
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: is a message that was sent to Eura. I have money.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: I would not put in an order if I wasn't serious.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get these damn Bitcoins in. Investigators discovered
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Bo made a tiny down payment for the hit on Lori,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: sending Eura less than $ 5. Obviously, $ 5 is not enough
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: money to pay for a murder.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 13: Correct.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 17: However, it is enough to show that he has had
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 17: intentions to continue with this thing. He wanted to make
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 17: sure that this hitman that's on the dark web actually
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 17: got the $ 5 before he.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 17: Gave him the full $ 10, 000 that was required.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Then detectives discover something about the Bitcoin used to pay
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: for the hit in this case. It had been bought
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: on a website where users had to register with a
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: photo ID.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 17: In this case, Bo Brigham uploaded a picture of his
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 17: California driver's license.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: We call that a smoking gun, do we not?
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 8: So, yes.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Two months after the San Luis Obispo police got their
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: tip from Chris Montero and 48 hours.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 16: We needed to find out where Bo was.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Cops finally have Lori's suspected tormentor in their sights. Creative, handsome, charismatic.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Bo Brigham had it all. This video he co-produced and
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: starred in was seen all over the world. With more
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: than 2 million views online, Brigham now has new people
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: desperately wanting to see him, to find him. People with
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: a badge who consider this talented artist a danger to society.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 23: He had a clear intent to have Lori murdered.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Once Lori is located and safely in hiding, San Luis Obispo,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: California detectives, Susie Walsh and Anthony Peluso focus on finding
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: her stepson.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 17: We found that his phone was peeing down in Palm Desert.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 17: That's when we made the decision to actually go down.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Palm Desert is near the wealthy playground of Palm Springs, California.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Investigators learn Brigham's biological mother, Alexis, lives there. She is
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a former Hollywood actress who had a bit role in
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: the 1997 courtroom drama, The Rainmaker. But when police get
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: to her last known address, nobody's there. Do you literally
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: just start working the streets back and forth like a grid?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 16: So that's the intention.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: That was the plan.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 16: That was the plan. Beau drives a Mercedes Sprinter van.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 16: It's pretty easy to spot.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: After several hours of driving around, the detectives find the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: van at a Starbucks parking lot. Bo Brigham's mother, Alexis,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: drives away. The detectives follow her to this house and
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: approach her in the driveway.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 17: The look on her face was, oh my gosh, what
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 17: is this? She allowed us to go inside the house?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: They're surprised to find Bo Brigham in bed, who complained
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: he was suffering from many illnesses, including cancer.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 17: He would try to divert from the actual conversation to
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 17: how sick he is and I'm dying, I'll be dead tomorrow,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 17: I can barely breathe, you know, I'll die in two days.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: In 2015, Bo set up this GoFundMe page where he
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: raised more than $ 40, 000 to allegedly pay for medical treatment.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Detectives say they didn't see proof of any official diagnosis.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 17: From what we've talked to him and Alexis, he hasn't
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 17: been diagnosed with anything.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: He has not. Could he be acting?
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Peluso then confronts Bo with this dark web kill order,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: telling Yura, look, I need this effing person dead.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 16: He finally said, you're right. Okay, I did it. I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 16: sent those.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: But detectives want more than just an admission. There needs
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: to be evidence to support that. They seize computers and
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: an iPhone from the house.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 8: So.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: This is the Central Coast Cyber Forensic Laboratory in San
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: Luis Obispo. And the man behind me is John Lehrer.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: He is a computer forensic specialist, and he will be
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: looking for the evidence. We'll be a fly on the
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: wall if you don't mind.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 8: Sounds good.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: For us, it is now a waiting game. Have you
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: ever had a case like this, a dark web case?
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 22: This is really an emerging technology, and I think we're
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 22: really trying to play catch up in terms of law enforcement.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Two days pass, then a whisper.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 8: I got something here.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: You were saying?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 25: This is Beau's iPhone, and one of the first applications
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 25: that it lists here is something called Tor Browser Pro.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Tor is a browser that can access the dark web.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: And so this is evidence.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 22: We made the decision to charge Mr.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Bo Brigham with solicitation of murder. 9 a.m. on August
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: 9th in Palm Desert. San Luis Obispo police have just arrived.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: We're heading now over to the arrest site. And they're
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: heading for Bo's residence. Just knocked on the door, Bo
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Brigham's wake-up call, and in they go. This began months
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: ago when we got a tip from Chris Montero in
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: London about a murder for hire plot in San Luis Obispo.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Bo is now coming out. Bo Brigham is handcuffed. We
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: know that you wanted your stepmother murdered, but we don't
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: know why.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: Why did you do it?
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 20: I don't.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: I'm deathly ill.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: Do you understand, Beau, the terror that you have caused?
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 8: We'll get you checked out, man.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: You also hired a hitman to take someone else's life.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: The whole scene is too much for Beau's biological mother, Alexis.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: He never, ever wants anything to happen to her at all.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: He was just angry. Who admits she knew about Beau
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: hiring a hitman on the dark web. And then I
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: was thinking, well, what do we do?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: Do we contact the police?
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 13: Do we, you know, contact Lori?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 8: Did you do that?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Did you contact Lori?
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 5: No, I was overwhelmed.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do. About a month after
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Beau's kill order, Alexis tried convincing him to ask Yura
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: for a refund.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 11: I told him, get it out so they know you're
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 11: not wanting anything done.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to get going. Beau is taken to
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: a nearby hospital. Doctors examine him.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 16: They asked him, acute symptoms, what are you dealing with today?
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 14: And when he couldn't name any, basically they ran his
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 14: vitals and discharged him.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Now, Bo Brigham is headed for county jail. Six weeks later,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: we obtained this letter from his defense team. Bo Brigham's
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: doctor states, Mr. Brigham is extremely ill, but he never
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: mentions cancer or ALS. And just five days ago, Bo
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Brigham agreed to an interview with 48 Hours in jail,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: where I asked again, Why did you seek to hire
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: a hitman on a dark web site to kill your stepmother?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 25: I'm actually terminally ill.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Investigators believe that you're faking this.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 8: That's outrageous.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: They're insane.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Beau's anger with his stepmother stems from his belief that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: she hasn't supported him during his health problems.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 25: She left her own son to die for four years.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 16: Who does that?
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: So does she deserve a death sentence? Absolutely not. On
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: April 19th, 2018, Beau, you wrote, look, I need this
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: effing person dead. I don't remember exactly.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 8: What you were doing.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't remember any of this, by the way. You
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: gave specifics about your stepmother. Look for silver Mercedes with
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: a black convertible top. You gave specific instructions. Do not
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: go through with the job unless it can be done
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: as an extreme clear accident because it will be very
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: easily traceable to you.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 25: There is only one way to get anyone's attention and
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 25: to do something stupid on a site was the only
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 25: way I've been emailing Lori to come see me for
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 25: four years now.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: So you admit you went on the site. I can't
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: remember doing it.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 16: I can't remember over.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly. And over again. I didn't remember
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: writing that. Despite Beau's memory issues, despite that he admitted
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: to both the police and his own mother that he
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: did this.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 16: No one would do something like this.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 18: No one, especially my son, if he was of sound mind.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: Beau's attorney plans to take this case to court.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 24: Van Sant, the people's case is in a lot of trouble.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: Be patient.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Come to court.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 8: We will be waiting for you to come place your
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 8: orders immediately.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero in London says Bo Brigham's arrest assures him
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: that his work has made a difference.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 5: I wasn't sure what I was doing really mattered.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: Now I can see that it's so important that this
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: information is acted on.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Chris hopes the authorities will also find and arrest Jura,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: who he says is concealing something explosive.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 8: They are claiming that all Hitman sites are fake.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero says through all the years investigating Yura.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 8: Asa Mafia was a real hitman to hire Marketplace.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Through all the murder plots.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 18: You will never look at life the same again, I promise.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: All the lives threatened, including his own.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 5: That was a bit of a shock. It really was.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: He and Eileen Ormsby reached an explosive conclusion that Yura's
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: murder for hire operation is all a big scam.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: Nobody is being killed.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: What?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: Nobody is being killed.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: It's a scam site.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: You know, it's designed to take people's money.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: Always pay with Bitcoin through escrow.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Turns out Yura is a con man and not some
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: hitman commander. According to our investigation, he never arranged for
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: a single actual hit.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 8: We have hundreds of people who love to kill for money.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: But Yura still insists his websites are real.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 8: The hitmen don't get paid until the job is done.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Either way, the most dangerous thing about him may be
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: his customers. Some so driven to kill that if Yura
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't get the job done, they might do it themselves.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: Like prosecutors allege about Stephen Allwine. Just ask Amy's friend,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Jane Sharp.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: Cottage Grove lost an awesome citizen.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: As Stephen's trial begins, the state argues he paid Yura
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: to have Amy murdered. But when Yura didn't deliver, Allwine
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: drugged her and shot her to death himself. Prosecutor Jamie
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Kreiser says he wanted out of his marriage, but divorce
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: was discouraged in his fundamentalist church.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: Marriage was considered a covenant, and that covenant was.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: Not to be broken.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Defense attorney Kevin DeVore countered that authorities never looked beyond
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: Stephen Allwine and that there were other people who may
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: have wanted Amy dead. He says those people could have
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: left clues at the crime scene, but first responders bungled
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: the investigation.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 19: They had no fingerprints, no DNA, no eyewitnesses.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: They had no confessions.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 19: They had very little, you know, traditional evidence.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: After an eight-day trial, where Allwine never took the stand,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: the jury took just six hours before convicting him of
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: first-degree murder. Stephen Allwine was sentenced to life in prison
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: without the possibility of parole.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: When it was read guilty, he just kind of fell.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: He put his hands in his face, and he began
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: to cry.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: He finally shows emotions.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: Finally.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: The death of Amy Allwine is hard for Chris Montero, too,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: but for different reasons.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: It was totally preventable from a law enforcement institution point
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 6: of view.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: Today, as we sit here, after all the trauma that
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: you've been through, no one's touched Jura. He's still operating.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Chris Montero says Jura knows there will always be people
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: who believe his sites are authentic. people who expect him
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: to deliver death when they click for a killer. So
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: he remains in business somewhere out there on the dark web.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 26: Now, an update on our 48 hours dark web murder
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 26: for hire investigation. In California, Bo Brigham was convicted of
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 26: soliciting the murder of his stepmother, Lori. He was sentenced
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 26: to three years in prison.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 25: I don't even remember actually doing it, and it's not
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 25: something I wanted.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Lori knows I love her. I mean, it's a really situation,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: to be honest.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 26: In Singapore, Alan Vincent pleaded guilty to intentionally abetting murder
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 26: and was sentenced to five years. In the Tennessee case,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 26: Brandon States pleaded guilty to attempted premeditated murder. He was
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 26: sentenced through the military court to 15 years. And in
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 26: the Illinois case, Tina Jones pleaded guilty to one count
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 26: of attempted first-degree murder and was sentenced to 12 years
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 26: behind bars.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: 48 hours.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: To miss it would be a crime.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: Were you at all prepared for what happened in this case?
