- 0:04Speaker 1: Viewer discretion is strongly advised. Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, January fourteenth,
- 0:18Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, nineteen year old gymnast Cynthia McGhee is
- 0:22Speaker 1: at Ohio State University Medical Center recovering from severe but
- 0:26Speaker 1: non life threatening injuries.
- 0:27Speaker 2: She had been hit by a car while riding her bike.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Eleven fifteen PM, a doctor in the hospital's residency program
- 0:36Speaker 1: visits McGee in room nine oh one to draw blood.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Not long after he leaves, she develops a fever of
- 0:41Speaker 1: one hundred and two degrees.
- 0:43Speaker 3: At midnight, a code blue sounds. Doctors rush to her bedside,
- 0:48Speaker 3: only to find Cynthia is.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Dead, and autopsy will later reveal that she died from
- 0:52Speaker 1: cardiopulmonary arrest.
- 0:54Speaker 4: One week later, twenty one year old Richard DeLong dies
- 0:57Speaker 4: unexpectedly in the same hospital.
- 1:00Speaker 1: DeLong is found dead in his room nine six y
- 1:03Speaker 1: four at six oh three pm.
- 1:04Speaker 2: On January twentieth.
- 1:06Speaker 1: According to hospital staff, he'd gone from stable condition to
- 1:09Speaker 1: imminent death following a visit from the same intern doctor
- 1:13Speaker 1: who had also been present at the time of Cynthia
- 1:15Speaker 1: Magee's passing.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Both deaths are very mysterious.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Just after Delong's death, his wife receives a call from
- 1:22Speaker 1: the intern doctor who tells her Ricky died of a
- 1:25Speaker 1: heart attack. The family requests an autopsy, but one isn't
- 1:29Speaker 1: performed because the intern doesn't submit the paperwork.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Richard Delong's body would later be exhumed. The medical examiner
- 1:36Speaker 5: discovered that DeLong is suffocated to death. Obviously, someone at
- 1:39Speaker 5: the hospital had intentionally placed a ball of gauze into
- 1:42Speaker 5: his throat. Now this results in a constricted airway and
- 1:45Speaker 5: hence he passed away.
- 1:49Speaker 1: University Medical Center, Tuesday, January twenty fourth, nineteen eighty four,
- 1:54Speaker 1: a nurse enters a room on the ninth floor where
- 1:57Speaker 1: forty three year old Rain Walter is being treated for
- 1:59Speaker 1: a brain.
- 2:01Speaker 5: As the nurse nears the bed, what she discovers that
- 2:03Speaker 5: Walter is now gasping for error. He's turning blue, called
- 2:06Speaker 5: an oxygen deprivation. The patient then loses consciousness and subsequently flatlined.
- 2:12Speaker 5: Now just ten minutes prior, Walter had been visited by
- 2:15Speaker 5: the same intern doctor who had been present during the
- 2:17Speaker 5: McGee and the DeLong deaths.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Medical staff are perplexed as to what is causing this
- 2:22Speaker 3: sudden outbreak of unexplained deaths.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Tuesday, January thirty first, nineteen eighty four, nine forty five am,
- 2:31Speaker 1: Ruth Brick is in room ninety six y' eight talking
- 2:33Speaker 1: to a nurse. The elderly woman is doing well, having
- 2:36Speaker 1: been admitted two weeks earlier after hitting her head at home.
- 2:40Speaker 1: A doctor enters the room and tells the nurse he's
- 2:42Speaker 1: going to check Behrick.
- 2:43Speaker 4: The nurse leaves, and within twenty minutes she comes back
- 2:46Speaker 4: and finds Ruth unconscious.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Doctors have no idea what's caused this. On that occasion,
- 2:52Speaker 3: they're able to save her life, but one week later
- 2:56Speaker 3: that's not the case.
- 2:57Speaker 4: While still in the hospital, the same situation occurred, but
- 3:00Speaker 4: she died.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Panic sets in.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Multiple people have died in the one area of the
- 3:06Speaker 4: hospital over the last month, and the nurses are beginning
- 3:09Speaker 4: to talk the doctors too. One thing these patients add
- 3:12Speaker 4: in common was an intern named Michael Swango.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Swango had been assigned to the ninth floor at a
- 3:20Speaker 3: Higho State Medical Center.
- 3:22Speaker 4: He was on the floor every single time one of
- 3:25Speaker 4: these patients died.
- 3:27Speaker 5: One of the nurses on staff relays to the hospital
- 3:29Speaker 5: administrators that the ninth of Cynthia McGhee passed away. Swango
- 3:33Speaker 5: had entered her room with a syringder, claiming that he
- 3:36Speaker 5: was going to draw her blood. Yet forty five minutes
- 3:39Speaker 5: later we find McGhee dead.
- 3:41Speaker 1: In Ruth Berrick's case, her nurse had more damning allegations, and.
- 3:46Speaker 3: A nurse claimed that she saw him injecting chemicals into
- 3:49Speaker 3: patient Ruth Berrick on the morning of January thirty first,
- 3:53Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Patients Rina Cooper and Awonia Uns, who shared Room nine
- 3:58Speaker 1: hundred at the hospital for twelve days, have shockingly similar accusations.
- 4:03Speaker 5: Just after nine pm on February seventh, nineteen eighty four,
- 4:06Speaker 5: Swango entered their room and inserted a syringe into Cooper's IV.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Seconds later, the sixty nine year old stops breathing us
- 4:15Speaker 1: screams for help.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Moments later, hospital staff rush in. Cooper's alive yet paralytic.
- 4:21Speaker 5: She responsors, he resuscitation efforts, and within fifteen minutes the
- 4:25Speaker 5: paralysis diminishes. She's now able to breathe on her own.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Meanwhile, a nurse's aide spots Swango down the hall, exiting
- 4:32Speaker 1: Room ninety sixty six. The EID goes inside and finds
- 4:36Speaker 1: a used syringe in the sink.
- 4:38Speaker 5: The nurse's aid retrites a syringe, he renders it to
- 4:41Speaker 5: the nurse who's in charge of the war and then
- 4:43Speaker 5: relates to her exactly and precisely what it was that
- 4:46Speaker 5: he observed.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Swango is questioned about the Cooper case and the unexplained
- 4:50Speaker 1: deaths taking place on the ninth floor. He denies any
- 4:53Speaker 1: involvement and claims he's the target of a witch hunt.
- 4:57Speaker 3: Swango is placed on probation pending the outc of an investigation.
- 5:01Speaker 3: After weeks of investigation, no further evidence is found of
- 5:05Speaker 3: Swango's guilt and he's fully exonerated, with senior officials believing
- 5:10Speaker 3: that he was the victim of a smear campaign within
- 5:12Speaker 3: the hospital.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Swango is reassigned to a different wing of the hospital
- 5:17Speaker 1: to continue his residency, but by mid February nineteen eighty four,
- 5:22Speaker 1: a new wave of deaths has everyone on edge.
- 5:25Speaker 4: This time three patients mysteriously died with no medical explanation
- 5:30Speaker 4: for it.
- 5:31Speaker 3: The hospital administration is desperate to find answers. They have
- 5:34Speaker 3: no evidence of foul play, but they do know one
- 5:36Speaker 3: thing they can't afford for the public to panic and
- 5:39Speaker 3: lose trust. They need a scapegoat, and they find one
- 5:41Speaker 3: in Michael Swango. Rather than launching another investigation into these
- 5:46Speaker 3: unexplained deaths and notifying the police, they decide to hold
- 5:50Speaker 3: an annual review of Michael Swango.
- 5:52Speaker 4: His immediate supervisor rates him as poor and he is
- 5:56Speaker 4: dismissed from his job. Problem solved as far as the hospital.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Goes, Swango is devastated.
- 6:02Speaker 1: In July nineteen eighty four, he goes back to his hometown, Quincy, Illinois.
- 6:07Speaker 1: There he lands a job as an EMT for Adams County.
- 6:11Speaker 3: When Swango starts working as a paramedic, colleagues deem him
- 6:14Speaker 3: as being extremely odd.
- 6:16Speaker 5: One night, Michael shocks the rest of the rescue crew
- 6:19Speaker 5: by saying that his ultimate fantasy is to be called
- 6:21Speaker 5: to the scene of a horrific school bus accident.
- 6:24Speaker 3: He also comments that he admires serial killers. Although some
- 6:27Speaker 3: are creeped out, others understand that this dark sense of
- 6:30Speaker 3: humor that he may have might be a way of
- 6:32Speaker 3: coping with the things that he sees during his work life.
- 6:38Speaker 1: But within months of being on the job, something very
- 6:41Speaker 1: strange occurs.
- 6:42Speaker 4: There's a breakout of mysterious illnesses that occur in the
- 6:46Speaker 4: rescue squad headquarters where Michael Swango is now.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Working, Quincy, Illinois.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Friday, September fourteenth, nineteen eighty four, four members of Swango's
- 6:55Speaker 1: rescue team are hanging out in the crew lounge at
- 6:57Speaker 1: the hospital when he walks in with a bus of doughnuts.
- 7:01Speaker 4: The ambulance crew eats them, then an hour or so
- 7:03Speaker 4: becomes very sick, dizziness, nausea, throwing up.
- 7:07Speaker 2: All four men go to the er.
- 7:09Speaker 4: It's a very strange condition that none of them can
- 7:11Speaker 4: explain if they somehow link it back to the donuts.
- 7:15Speaker 1: In June nineteen eighty four, doctor Michael Swango is fired
- 7:19Speaker 1: from Ohio State University Medical Center, where he served his
- 7:22Speaker 1: residency after at least eight patients die mysteriously. Just three
- 7:27Speaker 1: months later, in September, as Swango's working as an EMT
- 7:30Speaker 1: in his hometown of Quincy, Illinois, some of his colleagues
- 7:33Speaker 1: start to become gravely ill.
- 7:35Speaker 5: One night, on a ruse, the rescue crew takes initiative.
- 7:39Speaker 5: They fake an emergency call. It gets Swango out of
- 7:42Speaker 5: the paramedics lounge then and he departs. They'd subsequently search
- 7:45Speaker 5: his duffelbag.
- 7:46Speaker 4: They find ant poison, which happens to contain arsenic. There's
- 7:49Speaker 4: no reason Swango should be bringing this type of material
- 7:52Speaker 4: into the rescue squad.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Of the two boxes of ant killer, one is empty,
- 7:56Speaker 1: the other is full.
- 7:57Speaker 4: This group of paramedics who have been suffering these maladies
- 8:00Speaker 4: the side to set a trap.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Quincy, Illinois, Friday, October nineteenth, nineteen eighty four. One of
- 8:06Speaker 1: the EMT's leaves a pot of unsweetened tea in the
- 8:09Speaker 1: crew lounge, suspecting that Swango.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Will tamper with it.
- 8:12Speaker 1: When members of the team return and taste it, the
- 8:15Speaker 1: tea seems overly sweet.
- 8:17Speaker 3: They then transfer the tea into a container and have
- 8:20Speaker 3: it tested at a local lab. The results it's laced
- 8:24Speaker 3: with arsenic.
- 8:25Speaker 4: The lab report is turned over to the Adam County sheriff.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Department, Quincy, Illinois. Friday, October twenty sixth, nineteen eighty four,
- 8:34Speaker 1: Swango receives a call at work asking him to come
- 8:37Speaker 1: down to Adams County Sheriff's Department. Upon arrival, he's arrested, mirandized,
- 8:41Speaker 1: and charged with seven counts of battery, one for each
- 8:44Speaker 1: alleged poisoning.
- 8:46Speaker 3: They secure a search warrant for Michael Swango's apartment. They
- 8:49Speaker 3: find an amalgamation of guns, knives, syringes, chemical compounds, recipes
- 8:55Speaker 3: for concocting and mixing chemicals. There's even a book called
- 8:59Speaker 3: The poor Man James Bond, which describes how to commit murder.
- 9:04Speaker 4: On April twenty second, nineteen eighty five, Michael Swango goes
- 9:07Speaker 4: to court. At his trial, Swango adamantly denies poisoning his
- 9:11Speaker 4: colleagues and his fellow workers. He claims instead, the only
- 9:13Speaker 4: reason he has the end poison is because there's an
- 9:16Speaker 4: infant station at his apartment.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Michael Swango is found guilty of six counts of aggravated
- 9:21Speaker 3: assault and sentenced to five years imprisonment. Swango's application for
- 9:25Speaker 3: a license to practice medicine in Illinois is revoked.
- 9:29Speaker 1: In August nineteen eighty seven, Swango is released from prison
- 9:32Speaker 1: on good behavior after serving just two years of a
- 9:35Speaker 1: five year sentence.
- 9:36Speaker 4: Afterwards, Michael Swango decides to leave Illinois with his girlfriend
- 9:40Speaker 4: Rita Dumas and go to Virginia.
- 9:43Speaker 1: The couple sets up camp in Newport News and marries
- 9:46Speaker 1: in July nineteen eighty nine.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Rather than go on to build a new life with
- 9:50Speaker 3: Ritad is absolutely committed and driven to become a doctor again.
- 9:53Speaker 4: From nineteen eighty nine to nineteen ninety one, Michael Swango
- 9:56Speaker 4: applies to multiple hospitals around the country. How has to
- 10:00Speaker 4: explain the time he's spent in jail. He lies on
- 10:03Speaker 4: his applications. He tells anyone who will read them that
- 10:06Speaker 4: he was involved in a barroom braw He even had
- 10:08Speaker 4: numerous forged documents supporting this story.
- 10:12Speaker 2: But no one is fooled.
- 10:14Speaker 1: In January nineteen ninety one, Swango's wife, Rita leaves him.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Just after his wife Rita leaves from Swango, it comes
- 10:21Speaker 5: across twenty six year old nurse Kristin and Kenney. Next
- 10:23Speaker 5: thing you know, they're involved in a world winning romance.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Kristin's friends are very concerned that the relationship is moving
- 10:29Speaker 3: too fast, and many of them are talking in her
- 10:31Speaker 3: rear about the concerning past of Swango and saying negative
- 10:35Speaker 3: things about him. Kristin laughs it off because everything is
- 10:38Speaker 3: starting to fall into place for her, particularly when Swango
- 10:42Speaker 3: proposes to her and he accepts a place at South
- 10:44Speaker 3: Dakota University residency program.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Swango and his fiance moved to Sioux Falls South Dakota
- 10:51Speaker 1: in May nineteen ninety two.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Everything's going swimmingly until Michael flies for membership to the
- 10:57Speaker 4: American Medical Association. They do the requisite background checks to
- 11:02Speaker 4: the full extent, and they know what his background and
- 11:05Speaker 4: past consist of as quincy incidents, the attempted poisonings as
- 11:09Speaker 4: well as the veil of suspicion while he was at
- 11:11Speaker 4: the Ohio State University Medical Center. They deny his membership
- 11:16Speaker 4: to the AMA. They contact his present hospital in South Dakota,
- 11:20Speaker 4: and before long he's out of a job.
- 11:23Speaker 1: October nineteen ninety two, doctor Michael Swango is fired from
- 11:27Speaker 1: his job at the University of South Dakota after the
- 11:29Speaker 1: American Medical Association exposes his criminal past. The fallout will
- 11:34Speaker 1: have fatal consequences.
- 11:36Speaker 4: Michael's fiance, Kristin Kinney, is shocked to find out about
- 11:40Speaker 4: these allegations from his past. She's beside herself and she
- 11:44Speaker 4: wants no more of her relationship with Swango.
- 11:46Speaker 5: Kenny keeps a diary now. In it, she mentioned several
- 11:49Speaker 5: instances where she comes down with inexplicable bouts of this
- 11:52Speaker 5: blurry vision. She also complains the persistent nausea. Obviously, something's
- 11:56Speaker 5: going sideways.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Kristin leaves Michael and moves back home to live with
- 12:00Speaker 1: parents in Newport News, Virginia.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Michael applies to the New York University at Stonybrook Medical
- 12:05Speaker 4: Center and sending some of the same forge letters in
- 12:08Speaker 4: the same lies on his application, He actually gets hired
- 12:11Speaker 4: by them.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Swango shares the good news with Kristin and pleads for
- 12:15Speaker 1: a second chance.
- 12:17Speaker 2: She relents and starts seeing him again.
- 12:19Speaker 4: On July first, nineteen ninety three, swang Out reports to
- 12:23Speaker 4: his new job Northport, New York. It's a veteran administration hospital.
- 12:27Speaker 4: Before long, patients start dying mysteriously.
- 12:29Speaker 1: The first death of a patient named Dominic Buffalino, occurs
- 12:33Speaker 1: the morning after Swango starts the job. Four more patients
- 12:37Speaker 1: die suspiciously when Swango's around.
- 12:40Speaker 4: It always seems to happen at night, with first a
- 12:42Speaker 4: form of paralysis setting in and then heart failure and
- 12:45Speaker 4: they're dead.
- 12:46Speaker 1: While deaths surround Swango in New York. Back in Virginia,
- 12:49Speaker 1: his girlfriend Kristin has become completely unhinged.
- 12:53Speaker 4: She's actually admitted to a psychiatric hospital after she's found
- 12:56Speaker 4: walking incoherent naked in the streets around her home in
- 13:00Speaker 4: July fifteenth, nineteen ninety three, two weeks after Michael Swango
- 13:03Speaker 4: gets his new job, Kristin drives herself to a park
- 13:06Speaker 4: and shoots herself.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Because it's a suicide, the coroner does not check Kenny's
- 13:11Speaker 5: body for poisons, but a lock of her hair, but
- 13:13Speaker 5: by her mother as a keepsake, is later tested.
- 13:15Speaker 1: The tests indicate that Kristin had levels of arsenic in
- 13:18Speaker 1: her body. Kristin's mother, Sharon, vows to avenge her daughter's death.
- 13:23Speaker 4: She tells the friend everything about Michael's past. That friend
- 13:27Speaker 4: contacts the Veteran Administration's hospital in New York. Michael Swango's
- 13:31Speaker 4: secret is now revealed to his new employers, and before
- 13:34Speaker 4: long he's out of a job.
- 13:36Speaker 1: How and when did the once promising doctor get so derailed?
- 13:41Speaker 1: Swango excels as a student.
- 13:43Speaker 5: In nineteen seventy two, he becomes valedictorian of his high
- 13:46Speaker 5: school and his name the National Merit High School Student
- 13:48Speaker 5: of the Year.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Swango enrolls in Milliken University, but quits unexpectedly to join
- 13:53Speaker 1: the Marines. He does two years, earning the rank of
- 13:57Speaker 1: sergeant and an honorable discharge, returning home and attending Quincy University.
- 14:02Speaker 2: A changed man.
- 14:04Speaker 4: He starts collecting newspaper and magazine clippings of tragedies, murders,
- 14:08Speaker 4: sex crimes, and he puts them in his book and
- 14:11Speaker 4: keeps them and looks at them over and over again.
- 14:15Speaker 4: He has some sort of an obsession with death and
- 14:17Speaker 4: it seems and he gets pleasure from it.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Swango graduates with honors from college and is accepted into
- 14:23Speaker 1: medical school at Southern Illinois University.
- 14:25Speaker 5: During his time at SIU, patients seem to suddenly expire,
- 14:29Speaker 5: leading his fellow med students to nickname him Double O's Swango,
- 14:32Speaker 5: which meant he had a license to kill.
- 14:36Speaker 1: By November nineteen ninety three, doctor Michael Swango, who has
- 14:39Speaker 1: a history of mysterious deaths and alleged poisonings everywhere he goes,
- 14:44Speaker 1: finds himself the target of yet another criminal investigation. The
- 14:48Speaker 1: FBI suspects he committed fraud and murder at a VA
- 14:51Speaker 1: hospital in Long Island, New.
- 14:53Speaker 4: York, unbeknownst to the FBI and anyone else for that matter.
- 14:56Speaker 4: In November of nineteen ninety four, Michael Swango leaves the
- 14:59Speaker 4: US and heads the Zimbabwe Africa. There, he finds a
- 15:03Speaker 4: position within the MAInet Lutheran Hospital and begins treating patients there.
- 15:08Speaker 4: They have no idea of his deadly background.
- 15:10Speaker 1: At first, hospital staff are extremely impressed with his skills
- 15:14Speaker 1: as a doctor, but by the summer of nineteen ninety five,
- 15:17Speaker 1: the situation takes a fatal turn.
- 15:19Speaker 4: People were dying and they tended to be dying without
- 15:22Speaker 4: explanation and on Swango's watch. Convinced that Michael Swango is
- 15:26Speaker 4: killing patients, that Zimbabwe police investigators obtain a search warrant
- 15:30Speaker 4: for his cottage. Once inside, they find various concoctions of
- 15:34Speaker 4: poisons and other means of hurting and killing people.
- 15:37Speaker 5: In October nineteen ninety five, hospital administrators fire Swango. Now
- 15:41Speaker 5: he retaliates, insisting that he's innocent, then unbelievably files a
- 15:45Speaker 5: wrongful termination lawsuit.
- 15:47Speaker 4: The decision is overturned. He is even awarded one thousand
- 15:50Speaker 4: dollars as a result of the lawsuit.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Swungo works at Impilo until March nineteen ninety six, when
- 15:56Speaker 1: hospital officials dismiss him due to overwhelming concerns about his background.
- 16:00Speaker 5: A number of patients had suddenly died, yet none of
- 16:04Speaker 5: these had been directly linked to doctor Swango. At that point,
- 16:07Speaker 5: in time.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Zimbabwean authorities continue to investigate the expat physician, but
- 16:12Speaker 1: before Zimbabwean officials can move in and arrest Swango, he
- 16:16Speaker 1: flees the country.
- 16:17Speaker 5: Interpoal is now notified and international man is undertaken. The
- 16:21Speaker 5: Swango trail is ice cold until June nineteen ninety seven.

- 16:30Speaker 5: doctor in Saudi.

- 16:44Speaker 4: He never thought that his passport information had been flagged,
- 16:47Speaker 4: and once he hit the ground in Chicago, the customs
- 16:49Speaker 4: people grabbed him and placed him under arrest.
- 16:52Speaker 1: The federal government doesn't yet have enough evidence to bring
- 16:55Speaker 1: murder charges against Swango, so they charged the itinerant doctor
- 16:59Speaker 1: with fraud for forging documents to gain employment at the
- 17:02Speaker 1: Veterans Hospital in New York, the last place he worked
- 17:05Speaker 1: in the US.

- 17:13Speaker 4: sentenced to the maximum amount of time for these fraudulent

- 17:30Speaker 4: with five counts of murder and seven counts of poisoning patients.

- 17:39Speaker 1: Monday July seventeenth, two thousand, Swango's indicted in Federal District Court.
- 17:44Speaker 1: He pleads not guilty to the charges.
- 17:46Speaker 5: At first, Swango pleads not guilty to the US based
- 17:49Speaker 5: murder charges. However, he's facing the death penalty in New
- 17:52Speaker 5: York possible death penalty in Zimbabwe, so those two things
- 17:55Speaker 5: are on the table. He elects to go ahead and
- 17:58Speaker 5: plead guilty. September sixth two thousand.
- 18:01Speaker 4: The deal worked out with his lawyers was he would
- 18:03Speaker 4: do his prison time in the US.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Swango receives a sentence of life in prison without the

- 19:43Speaker 5: His three friends now realize that he's in real dire strait,
- 19:46Speaker 5: so what they're trying to do is keep him from
- 19:48Speaker 5: going off the edge.

- 19:53Speaker 1: plans to meet Bob and Mary for breakfast the following morning.

- 20:07Speaker 5: Salisa's contact, Victory of Rebate, and they ask him to
- 20:10Speaker 5: go over and check on Timothy's residence.
- 20:13Speaker 4: As Tim is going through a divorce with his wife Larissa,

- 20:17Speaker 1: Vicy Reba arrives at Tim's around eleven thirty that morning.

- 20:26Speaker 5: Irrebate affecks in the garage. Guess what, there's this pickup
- 20:28Speaker 5: truck locked, no keys in it. He becomes alarmed at

- 20:35Speaker 4: The police show up at Tim's house. They get inside.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Officers find Tim's watch and cell phone on his bedroom dresser.

- 20:50Speaker 1: money and credit cards is in the glove box of
- 20:52Speaker 1: his truck. So cops are pretty sure they're not dealing
- 20:56Speaker 1: with a robbery, But what are they dealing.
- 20:58Speaker 5: With the police will look at it from a different lens,
- 21:01Speaker 5: and what they're saying is an individual who has moved
- 21:04Speaker 5: out to an offending divorce, that has been fired from
- 21:06Speaker 5: his job, and they find out that he does in
- 21:08Speaker 5: fact have a handgun registered to him, and they're wondering

- 21:29Speaker 4: Tyler's awaiting the Thursday night, five thirty pickuff from his
- 21:32Speaker 4: dad at his mom's manicurist. He never shows up. It's
- 21:35Speaker 4: at that point that Marissa says to her manicurist, I
- 21:38Speaker 4: have a feeling my divorce is going to be going
- 21:40Speaker 4: my way.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Both Larissa and Tyler call Timothy multiple times, no answer

- 22:45Speaker 4: a struggle took place right in that area.
