  Speaker 1: Do you know what happened to Adriana tonight?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: She talked to us. She said that you and Heather
• 0:07
  did this to her. So that's why we're talking to
• 0:10
  you too.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: This is the moment Tina realized her murder victim was
• 0:13
  still alive, and to make things worse, her victim had
• 0:17
  just told the cops everything they needed to know to
• 0:20
  put her behind bars for the rest of her life.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: We know what happened out there. It's just going to
• 0:25
  be a matter of getting fingerprints and evidence back brod.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Tina is currently being interrogated over the horrific attack of
• 0:33
  her friend in Florida. Like most teenage fights, it apparently
• 0:36
  started because of a dispute over a guy. But this
• 0:39
  isn't the story that she and two other suspects would
• 0:41
  tell investigators in this extremely sick case.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, Tina, you know I can't call you, Tina. Okay,
• 0:49
  obviously know something's up, So tell me what happened tonight.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Nothing happened, and I don't know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Love.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: Heather just said that something about Arona got beat up
• 0:58
  real bad.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, know anything about that?
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: She arms and hands if I could. Okay, what's this right?
• 1:05
  Here that little scratch there. Yeah, I have a puppy, okay,
• 1:09
  and your puppy calls up, got your chin okay.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Nineteen year old Audreyana had gone over to her neighbor's
• 1:16
  house to patch things up after an argument, so she
• 1:18
  had no idea that fate was waiting for her. That
• 1:21
  neighbor was Tina Brown, and Audreyana was walking straight into
• 1:25
  a trap. What started off as a fight quickly turned
• 1:28
  into something much worse. But according to Tina, she's got
• 1:31
  an alibi.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So where were you tonight?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: At Heather's.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: At Heather's house, Heather says she was gonna cook, So
• 1:37
  I went down there. She was cooking a fish and
• 1:40
  French fries and then we just started watching movies.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You were there all night until the cops came up there.
• 1:45
  What time did you go over there?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I've it just started getting.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Out, okay, So about about sunset? Was anybody over at
• 1:54
  Heather's house when you went over there? Just Heather and
• 1:57
  her husband Heather, Okay, anybody else come over there?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Her and her little friend girls were at the house.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: She said.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: She hurt her hands.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: So usually we get there and then everything is all right,
• 2:10
  So I don't end up going with her, but she
• 2:11
  said she was going to the emergency room.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: What time was that when they came by? You know?
• 2:17
  Was it long after you got there? Okay, so early
• 2:21
  in the evening.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what time it was.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, so about thirty to forty five minutes after sunset.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Tina's daughter Britney, was also at Heather's house at the time.
• 2:34
  But the problem here was that they, along with Tina,
• 2:37
  were the three main suspects in the caves. The detective
• 2:40
  already knows there's bad blood between Tina and Audriana and
• 2:43
  spend some time discussing their friendship.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: What has been going on between you and Adriana this week?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: ACTUALLYA and Adriana were together today?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Were we all to go the house?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Okay? What was going on there?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: And we were just sitting there watching movies, trying to
• 3:02
  get my computer pull it up or I can get
• 3:05
  iTunes and watch movies.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Have y'all had any problems?
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we've had problems the first three trailers.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: We've had problems for a long time.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Well what's the problems?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Well, lately, the.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: New problem is she thinks that I'm the one who
• 3:19
  had her boyfriend.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Locked up in jail.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, so she's mad at you, thinking her boyfriend's locked
• 3:25
  up because of you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yep, But we talked about it earlier today.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: This would be one of several accusations that surrounded the
• 3:31
  four women. Tina's daughter, Brittany, also claimed Audreana slept with
• 3:35
  her boyfriend, but even so, Tina says there were no
• 3:38
  issues over the last few days.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: When me and her actually just started back talking today, okay,
• 3:44
  cause I asked her this morning.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: What was I doing this morning?
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, we was trying to make some phone calls and
• 3:52
  I wanted to heat up some chicken, So I asked
• 3:54
  her when she put the church's chicken in her microwave,
• 3:57
  and she heat it up for me and brought it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: To my house.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Mkay. Do you know what happened to Adriana tonight?
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: No, I don't. Heather just says she got beat up,
• 4:04
  but that's all I know a little bit more than that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: The detective is talking about the horrifying injuries covering Audriana's body,
• 4:10
  and despite her story, Tina knows exactly what happened. Tina, Brittany,
• 4:14
  and Heather waited for Audreana to arrive at Tina's house
• 4:17
  in Insley before ambushing her with a taser and beating
• 4:21
  her down with a crowbar. The three then threw her
• 4:23
  in the trunk of a car and drove her to
• 4:25
  a secluded patch of woodland, where they set her on
• 4:28
  fire and then walked away. Clearly they expected her to
• 4:32
  be dead, but Audriana not only survived this horrific attack
• 4:36
  but managed to crawl to a nearby house and find help.
• 4:39
  She did this with burns covering over sixty percent of
• 4:43
  her body. None of the suspects, including Tina, know that
• 4:46
  she survived until the detective drops this bob show.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if she's gonna make it or not.
• 4:52
  She talked to us or is She talked to the
• 4:54
  people that came over to help her. She told them something,
• 4:58
  you know. She told them, She said that you and
• 5:03
  Heather did this to her. So that's why we're talking
• 5:07
  to you too.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: But she said, I called. She's been saying a lot
• 5:12
  of stuff, lady, mkay.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: She said, I called cause this is all stuff that
• 5:16
  we talked about today at my house. Okay about my
• 5:20
  tired was stabs, mkay? And I asked her if she
• 5:23
  did it?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: She said, No.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, I couldn't prove she did it, so we
• 5:26
  I ain't argue about it, fuss about it or nothing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But you thought she did.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It just just because of what people said.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But did you hear about her window getting busted out?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Whose window?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Adriana's window getting busted out? A few days ago? You
• 5:41
  getn't hear about it?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: No, sir, I didn't.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And you said tonight you were over at Heather and
• 5:45
  Darren's right, Yes, and you didn't go anywhere? H Did
• 5:48
  anybody come over there while you were there?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He had somebody come over, but I didn't go out.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Wh Who were they that came over? Did?
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Did?
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: You?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Was dark and we had braids?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Kay?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And then it is another guy, but I didn't know
• 6:04
  who that block her?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Sound familiar?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And did anybody else come over?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Mm? Yeah, white guy in a red truck?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You know who that was?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: No, he went out there and went outside and talked there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And what was Darren doing while y'all over there? Cooking anything?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Being on the couch watching movies?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Is that pretty much what y'all were doing all the
• 6:24
  way until the cops came. Okay, so you, Darren and
• 6:27
  Tina were sitting in the living with the other were
• 6:30
  sitting there in the in the living room watching movies,
• 6:32
  and when the cops knocked on the door, wat y'all there?
• 6:35
  We were sitting there, Kay, Why he answer the door?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: They about doing Okay, So.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Y'all sat there and when the cops came, they didn't
• 6:44
  answer the door. And how long were y'all in there
• 6:46
  before you did it?
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Not that I guess the the tape was going out
• 6:50
  cause Adriana has a little boy that's kind of hyper.
• 6:53
  You say that that little boy probably had got that
• 6:55
  taser and tasted that little girl.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Alright, but you were home all night. You didn't see
• 6:59
  any kind disturbance going on over there before the cops
• 7:02
  came over there or anything.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No, we would have heard something.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Right now, Tina is starting to show signs of guilt.
• 7:09
  She's slumped over with her head hung down and avoiding
• 7:12
  eye contact, indicating she's very ashamed and regretful, or at
• 7:16
  the very least sorry she's been caught, whatever the case
• 7:19
  may be. She definitely seems uncomfortable, but as the detective
• 7:23
  points out, it's definitely not for the right reasons.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You didn't go to go get anything or go anywhere
• 7:29
  at all, I think. So, Okay, you seem kind of
• 7:39
  lacks of daisical about this. I'm telling you that this
• 7:41
  woman is probably going to die and has named you
• 7:46
  as the person that's harmed her. It kind of, you know,
• 7:50
  doesn't sit easy with me that you're just so nonchalant
• 7:52
  about this. I just I.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Just talked her to day and I thought I never.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Called DC if that's some of the kids.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, she's probably going to die is the word
• 8:02
  we're getting, and we're concerned over that. And the last
• 8:05
  person she said that did this to her is you
• 8:08
  and Heather. Okay, we're going to go out there. We
• 8:11
  know what happened out there. It's just going to be
• 8:14
  a matter of getting fingerprints and evidence back. Okay.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Once again, Tina shows her guilt, this time by touching
• 8:20
  her lips. This is often a telltale sign someone is
• 8:23
  lying and is trying to hide that fact by covering
• 8:26
  their mouth.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: The reason we're here, Basically, what she told the fireman
• 8:32
  was that you two came and grabbed her. What she
• 8:37
  told the fireman was that you two came over and
• 8:40
  grabbed her, pulled her out of that house, beat her
• 8:45
  and harmed her.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: And nobody out there, the kids or nobody saw none
• 8:49
  of this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Nobody saw it. We talked to everybody in that neighborhood.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Kids always outside.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We've talked to everybody in the neighborhood.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: You saw.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And she's saying that y'all did it, And we're sitting
• 9:02
  here talking to you, and then I'd certainly appreciate it,
• 9:04
  and I know Tom appreciates that you're talking to us.
• 9:07
  But we got to get to the bottom of this,
• 9:09
  and we got to know what happened, the truth. And
• 9:13
  two choices here. Either you're going to tell us or
• 9:16
  Heather's going to tell us. So who's gonna be I
• 9:22
  didn't do anything to her, okay, and you were home
• 9:25
  all night. You were at Heather's all night, never left there.
• 9:29
  Because see, the story between Heather and Darren is already shaky,
• 9:33
  and your story is a third version of what they've
• 9:36
  told us so far. This serious allegation. I mean, this
• 9:39
  is life changing and somebody's last may end over this.
• 9:43
  We're getting told that she's in pretty critical condition at
• 9:46
  this point, not likely to make it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: When Adriana was found, she reportedly told her rescuers that
• 9:51
  Tina had never expected her to make it out of
• 9:53
  the woods, let alone make it to safety. But despite
• 9:57
  her brave fight, Audrianna died from her ordeal sixteen days
• 10:00
  after her rescue.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, just as today. Why she didn't tell me
• 10:05
  I've been blamed for a lot.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a cycle over there, it goes to trainer.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Well, she didn't do it to herself. Somebody did.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Adrona been riding that bike all day to day.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, but somebody did it to her.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, she's saying you did it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't, saying I may the last thing she kills.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Somebody, you know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Tina, Heather, and Brittany were all found guilty of murder,
• 10:32
  with Tina believed to be the ringleader. Had Audreyana not
• 10:35
  made it that day, these three killers could have escaped justice,
• 10:39
  but now Tina sits on death row waiting for her
• 10:42
  day of execution. Detectives often know exactly who the killers
• 10:46
  are right from the start, they just need to prove it.
• 10:48
  But sometimes things are different, like in this case, where
• 10:52
  the detectives realized they got things completely backwards and their
• 10:55
  main suspect ends up revealing the shocking truth. In the
• 10:59
  hunt from missing Girl.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Do you suspect Sam and any of this.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: The guy that you know was interested in her, and
• 11:05
  you know some other guys are interested in her, but
• 11:06
  they found out she had a boyfriend.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: You know, they're they're friends now. I really couldn't see
• 11:10
  him do it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: One afternoon in April twenty sixty, seventeen year old Ashley
• 11:14
  left her home in Illinois with her boyfriend for an
• 11:16
  interview and a basketball game, saying she'd be back before
• 11:19
  ten thirty. Ashley didn't return that night. Her terrified parents
• 11:24
  called the police, who found her boyfriend's vehicle abandoned with
• 11:27
  two outfits, one for the interview and one for the game,
• 11:30
  adding up all the evidence. Her boyfriend, Jeremy was now
• 11:33
  the prime suspect and was taken in for questioning.
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: Has she been through any kind of trouble or trying
• 11:40
  time recently or anything like that?
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: Not recently?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: A while back? We had an abortion? Now and how
• 11:46
  long was that prime? December?
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: Well, no, it was a little bit before December.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: How did he take that?
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: She was all right?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: I mean, it wasn't like horrible, like about a depression
• 11:58
  or anything, you know, it was she's fine and she's
• 12:01
  a lot better now.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: How often do you.
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: Once a day usually, and then on Tuesday nights we
• 12:09
  don't see each other because I got a designated party
• 12:12
  night with my buddies.
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: So other than that, it's usually once a day, once
• 12:15
  a day.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Some of you guys are pretty serious.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been going out for how long?
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: Almost two years? It'll be two years in July.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: What if somebody came up and said that, you know,
• 12:24
  that she had some marijuana in her room.
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: I'd be real surprise. Okay, she tells me everything.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: What about possibly owing somebody in Kahokia somebody for drugs?
• 12:37
  What about that?
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: I'd be really surprised.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Do you know the name Michael? That name is so familiar. No,
• 12:44
  maybe that's not familiar.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: A name comes up during the questioning that Jeremy has
• 12:49
  never heard before, and his reaction to hearing the new
• 12:51
  name is noticeable. This would be one of many men
• 12:55
  in Ashley's life that he doesn't know about, but there's
• 12:58
  one that remains familiar to Jeremy. Twenty seven year old Sam.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Do you suspect anything between Sam and Ashley?
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: No, I couldn't see it. I mean, I just I
• 13:11
  trust them both too much.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: I mean, I trust her so much more than him,
• 13:14
  you know, because it's my girlfriend. I don't think he
• 13:18
  would ever do anything to harm her. You know, It's
• 13:22
  just it doesn't seem like it's his nature.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Well, what about if.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: You know, possibly not even harming, but what about if
• 13:32
  they were too you know, if they were an item
• 13:35
  or something like that, would you suspect that at all?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: No? No, the fact that she had Tuesday night, you
• 13:41
  were telling me that you guys had a little argument.
• 13:43
  What was that about?
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: It was because apparently I yelled at her or something
• 13:47
  and she didn't like it, and then she gave me
• 13:51
  all my stuff back, but what she had and said,
• 13:53
  you know, I'm gonna break up with you, and I said, no, don't.
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: We talked it over and stuff.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: And you know that it was just all just I
• 14:02
  don't know, just stressed because that's when she thought that
• 14:05
  she might be pregnant and yeah, and she turns out
• 14:08
  she wasn't.
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: And it was distressed of that doing that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: And you know, do you know any friends that she
• 14:15
  might be with us that you know, the good friends
• 14:19
  that she would hang out with, that she would go
• 14:20
  to their house.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Or anything like that.
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: I can't see the ones that she would their parents
• 14:25
  letting it happen and not letting her parents know. There's
• 14:28
  no way that if she went to Britney's house, There's
• 14:30
  no way her Britney's parents would you know, not tell
• 14:34
  Ashley's parents or Christie's house. There's no way Christie's parents
• 14:37
  would not tell Ashley's parents.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: You know who does she normally hang out with, Like
• 14:40
  they're at.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: School, Christy and some other girls. I don't know their
• 14:44
  names because I've never really met him outside.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Of school, but.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: She's played basketball with I think a couple of them
• 14:51
  that I haven't met.
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: And I don't know their names. But other than that,
• 14:55
  just Christie's like the main one.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: When Jeremy said Ashley went out of town to play basketball,
• 15:01
  the detectives wondered what it was that made her travel
• 15:03
  so far when there were basketball courts nearer her home.
• 15:07
  It turns out that the reason was Sam and Jeremy
• 15:11
  was completely clueless about anything going on between them. Suddenly
• 15:15
  police have a brand new suspect.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: How long have you don't say, I was probably sophomore
• 15:24
  in high school. I want to say, when you met him,
• 15:26
  he was a teacher. I'm pretty sure he was a
• 15:29
  teacher over in Saint Louis. I think he was doing
• 15:32
  something something with kids, and then he was also doing
• 15:35
  wrestling stuff and he plays a lot of sports.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's he likes you?
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: He's just you're all around average, you know guy. I
• 15:43
  mean loves the party and you know, loves to teach.
• 15:48
  That's that's like his main goal. But he's just average.
• 15:52
  I mean, there's nothing specially unique about him. Just easy
• 15:56
  going guy.
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: But as far as like physical abuse at the house, no,
• 16:02
  have you ever seen anything like that. Have you ever
• 16:04
  seen any marks on her or anything like that, No
• 16:06
  bruises or anything else she.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Called you up and told you anything like that or no, Okay, I.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: Know she's runs in the walls a lot, like literally,
• 16:14
  I mean she's got kind of I've.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: Seen her do it.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: Not like you know, she says that she runs in
• 16:18
  the walls, but I've seen her because I don't know
• 16:20
  if you want to call it, she's blonde or whatever.
• 16:22
  But yeah, it's not like a continuous thing. I've just
• 16:25
  seen her do it a couple of times. But her mom,
• 16:29
  she's she's real nice. I mean she's raising two girls
• 16:32
  and you know, dealing with Mike. But what's he like
• 16:35
  what's he's good he I mean he's a good dad.
• 16:38
  I mean he loves them both, both those kids to death.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: After pressing him for nearly an hour, it slowly became
• 16:44
  clear to her detectives that Jeremy had nothing to do
• 16:46
  with his girlfriend's disappearance, but he had given them vital
• 16:50
  information about her. Twenty seven year old basketball friend, Sam
• 16:54
  was a teacher at a rival school, and his number
• 16:57
  was found in Ashley's phone. It turns out they made
• 17:00
  an awful lot of phone calls to each other, so
• 17:03
  this time he was brought in for questioning. In a
• 17:05
  story we've all heard before, Sam started out by claiming
• 17:08
  the relationship was friendship and nothing more.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I'd give her like a hug goodbye.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: How to do that?
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: That's how sexual I was interview with someone heard you back.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I think she kind of started becoming obsessed with me because,
• 17:18
  like I said, she was calling me not like literally
• 17:20
  not soot the time. But after being confronted with the
• 17:23
  testimony of Ashley's friends, he changed his story. I will
• 17:27
  say this, you never kiss He never kissed.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, we did have sex and that of the.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Vehicle there and after that day I felt absolutely terrible
• 17:36
  about that. Sam changed his story several times during the
• 17:39
  course of the questioning, and it was becoming clear to
• 17:41
  detectives he knew more than he was saying about Ashley's disappearance.
• 17:45
  The detective needs to break down the barrier that Sam
• 17:48
  has created, and in order to do that, they try
• 17:51
  to guilt him into a confession. They're going to use
• 17:54
  his most loved family members against him as a way
• 17:57
  of making him crumble.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Grandma's not here. I No, your mom's not here.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: Let you know what, in a way they are because
• 18:09
  everything they taught you, all the dog's Grandma had with
• 18:13
  you are within you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: All of them are.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, right now, Sam, he ain't.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Telling us the truth. Ka, go sure you wrapped please?
• 18:26
  She's still out there, Sam, she is, and where's it?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Ann? Have to sure.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: It took these detectives and agonizing twelve hours to crack Sam,
• 18:42
  but he finally admitted to being responsible for Ashley's disappearance.
• 18:47
  He told police that he got Ashley in a chokehold
• 18:49
  during the argument and heard her next snap. He decided
• 18:52
  to make it look like she had been strangled, so
• 18:54
  he choked her again and she became lifeless. When he
• 18:58
  left the scene. Sam thought after thirty hours she would
• 19:01
  be long dead and he was taking the police to
• 19:03
  find her body, but by some miracle, Ashley was found
• 19:07
  barely alive. It took her weeks to wake up from
• 19:10
  the colma she had slipped into, and even longer to
• 19:13
  heal the psychological wounds, but she was able to testify
• 19:17
  against Sam and live to see him sentenced to twenty
• 19:20
  years for her attempted murder. If you enjoy true crime
