Speaker 1: Look back up? Back?
0:18
Speaker 4: Oh my god, okay, back up, back back back up,
0:22
back up, back up back.
0:22
Speaker 5: Officers report to a seemingly routine traffic incident in Moses Lake, Washington.
0:31
What no officer on scene realizes is that this encounter
0:35
would be the start of a terrifying investigation, leading to
0:39
the most dark and twisted body cam footage we've ever
0:43
shown on this channel.
0:44
Speaker 6: But if you want listen to me, please.
0:48
Speaker 7: Get out of your car and come get my kid.
0:50
Put him in cuffs right now.
0:51
Speaker 1: Don't say anything right now. We don't know. Did you
0:55
do it? Look at me? Did you do it?
1:05
Speaker 8: Right now?
1:09
Speaker 5: It's an early Sunday afternoon on November three, when officers
1:13
patrolling downtown Moses Lake identify a truck matching a stolen
1:17
vehicle report logged just hours earlier. Multiple police units have
1:21
been dispatched more than typically assigned to a stolen vehicle report,
1:25
almost as if from the very start, police somehow knew
1:29
this vehicle theft report would soon unravel into something much worse.
1:34
Speaker 9: One we're slow rolling, barking, at porterhouse.
1:39
Speaker 5: Inside the vehicle is twenty seven year old professional athlete
1:43
Isaiah Thomas, the former a Star wide receiver for Eastern
1:47
Oregon University, who is currently armed with a weapon.
1:53
Speaker 1: Well, Uber, there you going gut all the car?
1:56
Speaker 10: Yeah, truck quiz Here's what happened.
2:03
Speaker 1: The truck was reported stolen. Whose truck is this? Good?
2:09
Speaker 9: Talk to me, man, it's it's your truck. Okay, do
2:13
you have your ID registration? Just go and turn off.
2:21
I apologize that's your truck, but it wasn't registering your name, man, Yeah,
2:26
I know.
2:27
Speaker 2: Okay.
2:27
Speaker 11: Then there's ammunition in the front seat.
2:29
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, okay, just come out and stop on the car.
2:37
Speaker 5: Of The ammunition on the passenger seat suggests that Isaiah
2:41
might be carrying a weapon. The officer quickly realizes that
2:45
this encounter could escalate at any moment, so they swiftly
2:48
order him out of the vehicle, only to uncover something
2:51
interesting about his identity.
2:55
Speaker 12: What greg so, man al modo?
2:58
Speaker 11: Yeah?
2:58
Speaker 4: How you doing?
2:58
Speaker 11: Is another day?
3:00
Speaker 1: Other day? They don't?
3:06
Speaker 11: Okay, make sure do have weapons on you?
3:08
Speaker 12: Okay?
3:08
Speaker 1: I do got a weapon on me? What do you
3:10
I think I got a knife right here? On my knife,
3:12
balk a knife. That's it?
3:14
Speaker 13: Okay, I thank you, okay, GESSI diggy is no bad
3:26
on eat one?
3:28
Speaker 10: I you knew you?
3:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone's high school with them?
3:34
Speaker 1: Who was the star acting right?
3:35
Speaker 2: Because they they started talking news. Yeah.
3:42
Speaker 5: It turns out Officer Alvarado and Isaiah went to high
3:45
school together, and Alvarado recalls Isaiah as a standout football
3:49
player who went on to compete at the college level,
3:52
but now in front of him was a disoriented young man,
3:55
barely able to focus and answer their questions in a
3:59
stolen Vick go a star contrast to the athlete Alvarado
4:03
once knew. In reality, there is a very good reason
4:07
for Isaiah's odd behavior, one that Officer Alvarado will soon understand,
4:12
as within minutes, Isaiah and his family will be at
4:16
the center of a murder investigation. With only one question
4:20
left unsolved for now, officers decide to contact Isaiah's family
4:26
to inform them of his recent actions and detainment. They
4:29
quickly get his family contact details and call his mother,
4:32
forty seven year old Cassie Thomas. However, the information Cassie
4:36
provides shifts the course of the investigation in an unexpected way.
4:42
Speaker 14: Hello.
4:44
Speaker 4: Hello, this is al Salvado with the Most Like Police Department.
4:46
I'm trying to reach Cassie.
4:48
Speaker 14: Is this she?
4:50
Speaker 4: Hey, do you have a son Isaiah?
4:52
Speaker 12: Yes?
4:52
Speaker 8: I do.
4:53
Speaker 4: We had a call earlier about him being in someone
4:57
else's vehicle. He's in a truck now, a gray Chevy Silverado. Okay,
5:03
we're trying to figure out if this is his truck
5:04
or not, because he's saying it is. But the person
5:07
that called about him said that he stole the truck
5:09
from another neighbor.
5:11
Speaker 15: No, now that's his and his grandfather's.
5:16
Speaker 4: Okay, who's his grandpa if you don't ask Richard Richard.
5:20
Speaker 12: Yeah, he probably let him borrow it.
5:22
Speaker 16: He's staying with his grandfather right now.
5:25
Speaker 4: What's the address?
5:27
Speaker 10: Four to three zero dew.
5:29
Speaker 4: Yep, that's where the truck was taken.
5:31
Speaker 17: Okay, that's weird.
5:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, that clarifies something because we thought potentially this
5:35
truck might have been stolen, so we were trying to
5:38
figure it out. No, I'm sorry about that at all, No,
5:42
no worries.
5:44
Speaker 5: At this point, Officer Alvarado begins to realize the mistake
5:48
they've made. Now it makes sense why Isaiah immediately asked
5:52
for a lawyer. He was being accused of something he
5:55
clearly didn't do. As Officer Alvatto continues speaking with Isaiah's mom,
6:00
he decides to ask about something that's been worrying him
6:03
since the very moment Isaiah stepped out of the truck.
6:07
Speaker 4: I went to high school with Isaiah. He wasn't never
6:10
really like this is everything.
6:11
Speaker 8: Okay, he should be okay, he.
6:16
Speaker 4: Just seemed a little bit off to me when he
6:18
was talking.
6:19
Speaker 16: Well, probably because he's being accused so he didn't do so.
6:24
Speaker 4: It's his grandpa's truck. Yea, yeah, he lives at four
6:28
point thirty. But thank you for answering. My phone calls
6:31
him questions. That actually helps out a lot.
6:33
Speaker 18: Okay, all right, okay.
6:36
Speaker 4: Thank you.
6:38
Speaker 5: Officer Alverado doesn't know it yet, but his suspicion that
6:42
something is very wrong with Isaiah isn't far from the truth. Still,
6:46
with no evidence tying Isaiah to a crime, they have
6:49
no choice but to release him.
6:51
Speaker 2: But as he.
6:51
Speaker 5: Walks away, Officer Alvaretdo follows him, hoping to reconnect with
6:55
his old friend.
6:57
Speaker 4: Let's walk over to the funding your trust.
6:59
Speaker 1: B fiure out just wants.
7:02
Speaker 4: I know you don't want to talk about this. It's cool,
7:05
you don't have to, Okay, So you all right, man,
7:08
you won't like off the books? Do you want to
7:11
talk about anything, because I'll turn off my cameras.
7:16
Speaker 1: Bro Like, uh, it's just like we're at a time
7:20
right now.
7:21
Speaker 10: Ruh.
7:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a time in everybody's life for all
7:24
days and you do like really re evaluate. Yeah, what's
7:29
going on?
7:30
Speaker 7: You know?
7:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you need anything, please don't hesitant to call.
7:33
I'll sit down and have a conversation.
7:35
Speaker 5: Sure, all right, yes, take care to Alvarado. It seems
7:39
Isaiah wants to say something, but he just can't find
7:42
the words. For now. Isaiah gets into his truck and
7:46
drives off, unaware that this won't be the last time
7:50
today he'll be accused of a crime.
7:56
Speaker 17: That's trying to help you.
7:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm I was wondering if I could speak to
8:01
somebody about a missing person and Moses like, it's my father.
8:05
Nobody's seen him, yes, Moses, Okay, and his first time
8:11
off name Richard Andrews.
8:15
Speaker 17: And what is his home address is at the four
8:17
point thirty deal?
8:20
Speaker 4: Correct?
8:21
Speaker 17: All right, Kelly, I've got this report started. I'm going
8:23
to hand it over to the officers and just need
8:25
you to try to find a recent picture of him,
8:28
and if you hear from him or anything changes before
8:30
they contact you, go ahead and give us a call
8:32
back and let us know.
8:33
Speaker 8: Okay, okay.
8:34
Speaker 5: On the phone is Kelly Kirkandaal reporting that her father,
8:38
seventy five year old Richard Andrews, mysteriously vanished. Officers are
8:42
sent to his address and minutes later they arrive to investigate.
8:47
Speaker 17: Hello, well I'm doing.
8:51
Speaker 1: Better than you guys.
8:53
Speaker 9: How's it going?
8:54
Speaker 12: How are you?
8:55
Speaker 1: Carmen, Carmen, talk to you?
8:58
Speaker 5: Waiting for Sergeant red Rid Begains. Are Carmen, Kelly and Cassie,
9:02
daughters of Richard Andrews, the missing elderly man does he
9:06
begins speaking to them, hoping to learn more about their
9:09
father's disappearance. A familiar faith steps out of.
9:12
Speaker 1: The house, so we have no idea.
9:14
Speaker 8: The neighbor talk to my husband. This is my husband, Mike.
9:18
Speaker 19: Hasn't seen him in a day and a half, so
9:21
I haven't seen him longer than that.
9:22
Speaker 8: But his phone's been ringing, his sister's call. Nobody knows
9:26
where he's at.
9:27
Speaker 2: So this is this normal?
9:30
Speaker 1: No No, what's wrong? Okay, what's that? Do you know?
9:35
Speaker 2: Do you know where?
9:36
Speaker 12: Where?
9:36
Speaker 1: Where is it your grandfather? Yeah, my grandpa. Do you
9:39
know where he's at? No, I have no feel where
9:41
he's at.
9:42
Speaker 14: No.
9:42
Speaker 6: He didn't tell you anything where he was going.
9:44
Speaker 1: Did you see him leave?
9:45
Speaker 20: No?
9:45
Speaker 21: So basically where I did see was him talking to
9:48
somebody out here. He was kind of like parked a
9:51
little farther out, like he pulled off this sid a
9:54
little bit.
9:54
Speaker 11: They're talking in the window.
9:55
Speaker 1: Look, that's it. He did tell me that he was
9:57
going up for the Reds, but I just got caught
9:59
from make sure from Greg right, But he's not there, so,
10:03
which was uh.
10:07
Speaker 12: Property up there?
10:08
Speaker 19: But we always put a phone call up there and
10:10
they said no.
10:11
Speaker 1: Nobody there.
10:12
Speaker 6: About what time was it when you saw him, Watt?
10:14
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Was it morning?
10:16
Speaker 2: Afternoon?
10:16
Speaker 10: Night time?
10:17
Speaker 1: It was afternoon afternoon? Was it wasn't like late.
10:21
Speaker 2: After a Right.
10:23
Speaker 5: While officers are surprised to be speaking with Isaiah and
10:26
his mother Cassie for the second time that day, their
10:29
priority right now is finding his grandfather Richard. With the
10:33
timeline now established and Isaiah believed to be the last
10:37
person to see Richard. Sergeant Rodriguez turns his attention to him,
10:41
but as their conversation on folds, he begins to notice
10:45
something strange about this family is.
10:47
Speaker 6: That you said you saw him a day about a
10:49
day and a half ago, and that would have been
10:51
so yesterday afternoon sometime or the day.
10:54
Speaker 13: Before yesterday, No, yesterday was that day a day and
10:58
a half.
10:58
Speaker 12: Ago, so Friday today?
10:59
Speaker 1: So when you saw him, what were you doing?
11:06
Speaker 2: What was going on with it?
11:07
Speaker 1: Right there? Smoking? Okay? And where was he? Right there
11:09
talking to that guy? And then I looked down boom,
11:12
and then that was that? Was it weird for you?
11:15
Speaker 6: That he wasn't here anything like that? He'd be gone
11:19
for weeks, because you have.
11:20
Speaker 1: His property, be gone for weeks.
11:22
Speaker 16: That's why he's trip and why why are we tripping?
11:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the only thing that's weird is that he
11:29
left his wallet here.
11:31
Speaker 1: That's the only weird thing.
11:31
Speaker 6: I got me Okay, okay, okay, But it's not very strange.
11:36
But his normal friend to be gone weeks at a time,
11:38
but not at usually down them.
11:44
Speaker 5: What stands out to Rodriguez is how differently the family
11:48
reacts to the disappearance of their relative. Well Isaiah and
11:52
his mother, Cassie suggests that Richard's absence isn't especially unusual,
11:57
with Isaiah even casually smoking weed. His daughter Kelly sees
12:01
it very differently and appears genuinely concerned for her father
12:05
in a way the others do not. That's when Isaiah's father,
12:10
Anthony arrives, bringing with him the breakthrough they've been waiting for.
12:14
Speaker 22: You're talking about it there. Yeah, you need to go
12:17
down to a shop, take some pictures down there. To me,
12:20
it looks like there's something.
12:21
Speaker 1: Going on down there.
12:21
Speaker 22: There's like some bunch that's laid out there and some
12:24
where's the shop his shops down in the.
12:26
Speaker 16: Holland know where the motorcycle shop is.
12:29
Speaker 1: That's just if he's not here, he's usually down there.
12:32
Speaker 6: Oh, I got to tell that something.
12:34
Speaker 1: Do you think something else is going on down there? No?
12:36
Speaker 22: No, no, no, I'm just saying that if he's not here,
12:38
he's down there. Know what I'm saying is that's something
12:41
that was out there. It looks like there's up get
12:43
out there. That's he had never been.
12:45
Speaker 1: There and a half ago. Bro, why keep all about press.
13:01
You're the You're the closest thing to till his to him.
13:04
Speaker 22: Okay, I'm not gonna go to get.
13:09
Speaker 1: Just to keep peeing.
13:11
Speaker 6: Would you be able to take one of my officers
13:12
down there to where to where the shop is at,
13:15
just so that way we know exactly what we're talking about,
13:18
and so.
13:18
Speaker 1: That way, if he's there, that's great.
13:20
Speaker 6: Do you remember what he was wearing, Isaiah. I cannot
13:23
recall because that's part that's part of the.
13:26
Speaker 1: Sport that I'm taking, so I can enter it into
13:28
the suspect. Okay, I know, I'm just.
13:30
Speaker 8: Saying, you know, I can't.
13:33
Speaker 1: Okay, but we leave that those are so any any.
13:36
Speaker 6: Memory, any jewelry, jewelry, let me, let me, let.
13:40
Speaker 1: Me talk to him.
13:42
Speaker 18: Okay, yeah, So, because we don't know the exact address,
13:49
if you want to follow Anthony down to his shop
13:51
down in the Cascade Valley, his cell phone's here, wallet's here,
13:55
everything's there, God's here. Just whatever he had on his
13:58
person in his pocket.
13:59
Speaker 1: Result, so all right, thank you.
14:03
Speaker 5: Anthony and several other family members head to the shop
14:06
with a deputy, while Sergeant Rodriguez stays behind together the
14:10
remaining details. As he does so, he takes note of
14:13
the family's statements so far and what stands out is
14:16
Anthony's frustration with Isaiah. It seems like the two of
14:20
them know something the others don't, as the way Anthony
14:23
questions his son sounds like he's accusing him of being
14:27
involved with Richard's disappearance. Meanwhile, Isaiah is being defensive, claiming
14:32
everyone is overreacting. His mother, on the other hand, remains calm, smiling,
14:37
and at times even answering questions that weren't directed at her.
14:42
Rodriguez notes the contrast in this family's behavior and steps
14:45
away to drive to Richard's shop, But before he can go,
14:49
Isaiah's mother would make a horrifying statement, one that would
14:53
come back to haunt her.
14:55
Speaker 6: So I'll get this logged in and then if you
14:57
guys have any give me a call.
15:03
Speaker 7: Get out of your car and come get my kid.
15:05
Put it in cuffs right now.
15:07
Speaker 1: Don't say anything right now. We don't know, okay, So yeah,
15:12
let me know, okay.
15:13
Speaker 2: Thank you.
15:16
Speaker 5: Those statements are coming from Isaiah's mother, Cassie, as she
15:20
approaches the officer, just out of frame. In a sudden shift,
15:25
Cassie tells the sergeant to arrest her own son, catching
15:28
him completely off guard. Just moments ago, she hadn't seemed
15:32
particularly concerned. Now she's adamant that Isaiah is guilty of something.
15:37
It's a sharp change in behavior, one that leaves officers
15:40
wondering if Cassie knows far more than she's letting on.
15:43
For now, the sergeant doesn't fully understand what Cassie's implying,
15:47
but in the next few minutes her urgency will make
15:51
a lot more sense. By now, Anthony is on his
15:54
way to Richard's shop, just two miles from the house,
15:57
with a patrol unit following closely behind, and as the
16:00
first deputy pulls up to the shop, he notices several
16:03
other family members have also gathered, expecting to find a
16:06
lead on Richard's whereabouts. They would instead uncover something no
16:10
one was prepared to.
16:12
Speaker 10: See close house.
16:29
Speaker 1: His heart right here, hand truck the most wasn't truck.
16:32
They must have backed up my hair is there?
16:34
Speaker 23: Right?
16:37
Speaker 10: Okay?
16:40
Speaker 14: Is that okay? Well?
16:41
Speaker 20: Back up, back up?
16:41
Speaker 1: Please look back up, back.
16:43
Speaker 8: Up, place, back up, place I want to see? I
16:45
want to back up, fought.
16:51
Speaker 19: Him, calmed down, Okay.
16:54
Speaker 24: Back up, back up, please back back up, back up,
16:56
back up, back up.
16:57
Speaker 23: Okay, ma'am, can you come this way place, ma'am Can
17:01
we come this boy please, ma'am one, I need.
17:11
Speaker 4: One zero six to my location.
17:25
Speaker 25: Okay, can you take it over there?
17:29
Speaker 7: Place?
17:30
Speaker 1: Pace?
17:32
Speaker 4: This is this is now a crime?
17:33
Speaker 8: Suman you I know what I'm trying to get.
17:35
Speaker 4: Okay, I know.
17:37
Speaker 16: Oh, Kelly.
17:44
Speaker 4: Serge, he's he's buried in the ground. He's there's someone
17:50
buried underneath the ground.
17:52
Speaker 5: Buried in a shallow grave in the front yard of
17:55
his own shop, lies the dead body of seventy five
17:59
year old Richard Andrew's. Richard's daughter Kim is the first
18:04
to see him. She recognizes her father, immediately, revealing part
18:08
of his leg with the same genes he always wore.
18:12
It's a horrifying discovery for them to make. Even the
18:15
deputy is shaken and unable to control the situation on
18:18
his own, but as he observes the family, something about
18:21
it feels off. By the time he arrived, the family
18:25
had already begun digging, and within moments of uncovering Richard's body,
18:29
they started pointing fingers, fixating on the one person they're
18:33
convinced is responsible.
18:38
Speaker 16: I'm not moving right, I can't.
18:41
Speaker 23: Do you want me to help you I'll touch it, Okay.
18:46
Speaker 25: I knew it was going to happen.
18:49
Speaker 12: That was pison.
18:51
Speaker 25: My sister's sid's out.
18:52
Speaker 12: Their house right now, get it and against probably on
18:55
the bed. It's a rifle that's lain in my mom's edge.
18:58
Speaker 1: Want the bed.
19:01
Speaker 4: Yes, So we're having a county respond, okay, and their
19:05
supervisor is going to come and they're probably gonna set
19:09
up the containment. Okay, these I just asked that you
19:12
guys try to try to cooperate as much. I can't
19:16
make any I can't make any promises.
19:19
Speaker 1: Okay.
19:20
Speaker 8: Well, ma'am right now, psychopath.
19:26
Speaker 1: Hold on if you want to do what's best for.
19:31
Speaker 4: Kay. I just I just need you guys, please don't okay.
19:34
I just need you guys to at least try to
19:37
have some understanding, okay, And I want you guys to
19:40
listen to the officers.
19:42
Speaker 5: Surprise, Kim doesn't hesitate to blame her nephew, Isaiah, despite
19:47
there being no direct evidence linking him to what happened here.
19:50
Shaken and unsure how to handle the situation, the deputy
19:54
allows the family to remain at the crime scene even
19:57
after the body is discovered. Then two minutes later, Sergeant
20:00
Rodriguez finally arrives, stepping straight into the chaos. He tries
20:05
to regain control of the situation, but it doesn't take
20:08
long before he loses his patience.
20:12
Speaker 8: What are they.
20:16
Speaker 6: Okay, we didn't touch you, didn't when I was coming
20:20
up here, ma'am. Let's get away, please, ma'am, ma'am. We
20:25
need we need to preserve Okay, come on, come on,
20:27
we need to make sure that we do this. Okay,
20:33
I'm right here.
20:35
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
20:38
Speaker 16: Yeah.
20:44
Speaker 4: And then there's some stuff.
20:46
Speaker 6: Okay, we need some We need everybody, please, we need
20:50
everybody back, please, Okay, ma'am, we do need everybody out
20:53
of here if you want.
20:55
Speaker 1: We need to preserve this.
20:56
Speaker 6: Okay, I get it you're upset, but if you want.
20:58
Speaker 17: Just listen to me, please.
21:03
Speaker 1: I know you know we need other things to make
21:05
this work. Please please.
21:10
Speaker 5: Despite kin certainty, officers aren't yet convinced that Isaiah is
21:14
their killer, because as they inspect the scene closer, something
21:18
else stands out, something that starts to point to someone
21:21
very different. Burn debris is scattered across the grass, clear
21:25
sign that something had been intentionally destroyed, but the cover
21:29
up goes even deeper, the section of lawn where Richard
21:32
was buried had been cut out, replaced, and even watered afterwards,
21:37
an effort to make the yard appear completely untouched. For investigators,
21:42
it's still unclear whether Richard was murdered here or only
21:45
his body was dumped. To find out, they need to
21:48
search his shop. Standing just a few feet away.
21:55
Speaker 9: Here, I just make aself, none come out, your hands up, pore.
22:16
Speaker 14: Got it up?
22:20
Speaker 5: Ahead is Richard's shower, and strangely, the deputy notices it
22:24
appears to have been recently used, suggesting the killer may
22:27
have been here only minutes earlier. Officers then continue clearing
22:31
the rest of the shop, finding no signs of a struggle,
22:34
nothing to suggest Richard was killed here, so they shift
22:37
their focus to securing a search warrant for his house,
22:40
a search that would end very differently. As officers begin
22:45
to regain control of the chaotic scene, Richard's daughter Cassie arrives,
22:50
the same woman who had told the sergeant earlier to
22:53
arrest her son Isaiah. Why she accused him before the
22:56
body had even been discovered is now a question to
23:00
actives need to answer, But first they have to break
23:03
the devastating news to her.
23:05
Speaker 24: Yeah, no, we can't.
23:11
Speaker 8: I just need to see.
23:13
Speaker 1: Just let's go around there.
23:19
Speaker 6: M that's gonna be is that the family members are
23:24
that was driving it.
23:25
Speaker 26: So no, no, you can't go now, you can't, We can't,
23:42
we can't.
23:45
Speaker 1: She just wants to look over the line. We won't.
23:48
She won't go past the line. I'll make sure the.
23:54
Speaker 5: Naturally, Cassie is distraught not only because her father is dead,
23:59
but because she's spects her own son may be responsible
24:02
for now officers continue securing the scene and prepare to
24:06
send Richard's body for autopsy, but as they do, they
24:09
begin to overhear the family frantically talking amongst themselves, and
24:13
what they're saying would suggest the situation is only escalating
24:17
because someone else might be about to get hurt.
24:21
Speaker 6: Right, we have one that's confirmed in a shallow grave.
24:31
Do not start talking, Please, don't say anything.
24:34
Speaker 11: Just be quiet.
24:36
Speaker 1: Please, you know what what's going on over there already.
24:44
Speaker 6: I get it that we need I've heard everybody, but
24:46
we need things to figure out one zero six, Mack.
24:50
We need units down at four point thirty two. Man, Please,
24:56
we're gonna have to leave the truck here for now,
24:59
Where am I going to go? I just want you
25:01
to walk that way please, gun.
25:04
Speaker 9: Cleaner, Hey David.
25:09
Speaker 6: Well on zero six Mac, I have the father heading
25:13
down to four point thirty wo and possible suspect is
25:17
there and.
25:18
Speaker 1: It might not be good.
25:20
Speaker 5: According to Carmen. Anthony is furious and already on his
25:24
way back to the house, convinced his own son, Isaiah
25:28
is responsible. He's just seen the body of his father
25:31
in law buried in the ground, so what he does
25:34
next is completely unpredictable. Multiple units are quickly sent to
25:40
the house, racing to get there before Anthony confronts Isaiah.
25:43
Minutes later, officers make it to the house just seconds
25:46
ahead of Anthony, who is right behind them along with
25:49
the rest of the family, all demanding answers.
25:58
Speaker 21: To lady, stay back, stay back, to back, way back,
26:06
go back now?
26:10
Speaker 12: Did you idea.
26:13
Speaker 1: You need you guys stay back? Day please.
26:18
Speaker 17: Just a less secure me in your car.
26:19
Speaker 9: Thomas christ Christian for life and please.
26:26
Speaker 1: Did you do it?
26:28
Speaker 11: Please stay back?
26:28
Speaker 1: Sir, say did you do it? Looked at me? Did
26:32
you do it? Please you stay back?
26:35
Speaker 14: Sir?
26:36
Speaker 1: Did you do it? Isa look at me? Yeah? You
26:40
had my first born? Did you do it, did one
26:46
more time. So that's not a lawyer. All right, go
26:53
ahead and take a seat.
27:00
Speaker 12: Close it.
27:02
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. That's family good.
27:05
Speaker 2: One other family members ung this is right.
27:08
Speaker 9: Yeah, so they came down here to confront him because
27:11
they think he did it.
27:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only reason he's in culture Now we don't
27:15
I thought he was like the suspect.
27:16
Speaker 9: No, we don't have PC or reasonable right now, he's
27:20
in there because they think he did it.
27:21
Speaker 1: We don't keep them separated.
27:22
Speaker 11: Okay, got it.
27:25
Speaker 5: For the second time. Today Isaiah is accused of a crime,
27:29
only now it's something far more serious, and the accusations
27:34
are coming from his own family. They stand by watching
27:38
as he's taken into custody, convinced the case is now solved.
27:42
But what officers are about to uncover would complicate everything,
27:46
revealing that no one in this family can truly be trusted.
27:51
But before we get to that, I used to just
27:53
keep all my money in my bank account and not
27:55
really thinking it was possible to grow it without having
27:57
to wrap my head around all the different investments and
28:00
saving strategies. But then I realized there was a much
28:03
simpler way. That's where our video sponsor, Chime comes in.
28:07
Chime is America's number one choice for banking that makes
28:10
savings simple, especially with their high yield savings account. Whether
28:14
you're saving up for a new purchase you wanted for
28:16
a long time, or for a weekend trip, Chime makes
28:18
it simple. See the national average savings rate is zero
28:22
point three nine percent APY, which is basically nothing, but
28:26
with Chime's high yield savings account, you earn three point
28:29
seventy five percent APY, about nine times the national average.
28:33
To put that into perspective, if you had ten thousand
28:36
dollars in a regular savings account, you'd earn about thirty
28:39
nine dollars in a year, but with Chime savings account,
28:42
that same money earns three hundred and seventy five dollars
28:45
in a year. Chime also takes the thinking out of saving.
28:48
You can automatically send part of every paycheck into savings
28:51
or turn on roundups, so every purchase automatically adds a
28:54
little more to your account. There are no monthly fees
28:57
or minimum balance requirements, so more of your money stays yours,
29:01
and unlike some savings accounts, your money isn't locked up.
29:04
You can access at any time. Chime Card also gives
29:07
you five percent cash back on a category of your choice,
29:10
which helps on the spending side too, and you can
29:13
switch your category every month if you want. Right now,
29:16
Chime is offering a two hundred dollars bonus when you

29:30
While Isaiah is transported to the Grand County Jail on
29:33
probable cause, police continue speaking with the rest of the family,
29:36
but by now Richard's daughters are too shaken to talk,
29:40
so investigators turned to his son in law, Greg, one
29:43
of the first to discover the body, and they're about
29:46
to learn that he has vital information that would begin
29:49
to piece together this meticulous murder.
29:51
Speaker 25: So let's start from the beginning. How do you know
29:55
the guy who works on the shop out here?
29:56
Speaker 2: Sure is my father in law. The I Mars is
29:59
one of his dogs last year.
30:01
Speaker 25: Okay, so he's he is your current father in law.
30:03
Speaker 2: He is my father in law and across the street.
30:05
Speaker 25: Okay, so you're pretty close with him.
30:07
Speaker 2: I was very close to him.
30:08
Speaker 25: Okay, what do you think happened?
30:13
Speaker 2: I think that.
30:15
Speaker 27: There may have been some type of transaction at Richard's
30:18
house with Isaiah. I don't know exactly the full details
30:23
of what's going on with him, but I know he's
30:24
been having issues, paranoid issues and things of that nature.
30:27
Speaker 25: What do you mean by transaction like an altercation?
30:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I think is Richard's he's old school.
30:35
Speaker 27: He doesn't he's not into the wife of the back
30:37
here of the marijuana, and I think maybe he confronted him.
30:41
Speaker 25: Somebody said something about the tarp that you saw.
30:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a tarp. We had a tarp at
30:46
the house.
30:48
Speaker 27: And I'm not saying that's the actual tarp, but I
30:51
know that it was a brown and great tarp.
30:54
Speaker 25: That you had at your house.
30:56
Speaker 27: We had at our house, and I can't it was
30:58
sitting right there and the really buy my truck, barbecuers
31:03
and stuff. And I've never seen him, so I don't know.
31:07
If it away, I don't know, but it is missing.
31:11
Speaker 5: And sure enough, when the family began digging, they discovered
31:14
Richard's body had been fully wrapped in a brown and
31:18
gray tarp. With that tarp belonging to Greg. It now
31:22
raises two possibilities. Either he just incriminated himself or whoever
31:27
did this used it specifically to frame him. And Greg
31:31
has his own theory about who may have set him up.
31:35
Speaker 27: It's it's he's Isaiah has been acting. It's pretty pretty
31:39
strange lately.
31:40
Speaker 25: You've met Isaiah?
31:41
Speaker 1: Yes?
31:41
Speaker 25: Had he open to your house?
31:42
Speaker 2: Yes?
31:43
Speaker 25: Okay?
31:44
Speaker 27: And the last time he was there he was super
31:46
paranoid about everything.
31:49
Speaker 25: Does he drive Richard's truck very often?
31:51
Speaker 27: Everybody drives Richard trucks often, to be honest with Okay,
31:54
people drive them all the time.
31:56
Speaker 2: But I do know that Isaiah was pulled over today.
32:00
I want to believe. Yeah, and Moses you.
32:02
Speaker 28: Had mentioned see tire tracks correct, going into the grass?
32:09
Going into the grass, Yes, sir, tell me tell me
32:11
about these us.
32:13
Speaker 27: I've seen what appear to either somebody was backing in
32:16
or it's somebody that turned the right, I believe. And
32:19
I've seen the tire mark going into the grass, and
32:21
I seen, uh, that's when I've seen it.
32:25
Speaker 2: And then I noticed the hose and everything.
32:26
Speaker 28: Like I told you, is it common here on the
32:30
property for vehicles to go into the grass?
32:32
Speaker 2: Negative? Negative, he never goes on that grass.
32:36
Speaker 5: According to Greg, Richard's truck was shared and often driven
32:40
by multiple members of the family, which immediately complicates things
32:44
as the tire tracks officers identified at the crime scene
32:48
no longer point to a single suspect. But just as
32:51
leads begin to run dry, officers would learn that the
32:54
search warrant for Richard's home has finally been approved, so
32:57
detectives quickly wrap up their interview with Gregg and heads
33:00
straight back to the house. The moment they step inside
33:03
the home, the detectives notice a strong scent of bleach
33:06
in the air, all surfaces have been white down, and
33:09
inside there are clear signs of a clean up job.
33:13
Detectives know they're dealing with a methodical killer, possibly more
33:17
than one, but even then they would overlook something critical.
33:20
When detectives inspect the house more closely, they noticed spots
33:24
of blood on the back door handle that had been missed,
33:28
their first real piece of evidence tying Richard's house to
33:32
his murder. And then they stumble upon something even more significant,
33:37
a knife hidden in the living room, still in its sheath,
33:41
marked with visible red stains. Whoever tried to erase what
33:45
happened here, didn't manage to get rid of everything. With
33:48
the scene processed, all evidence sent for forensic analysis, and
33:52
the family dispersed, the focus now shifts to the man
33:56
back at the station. Since his arrest, Isaiah has refused
33:59
to operate, But now as officers return to confiscate his clothing,
34:04
they're about to discover the most crucial piece of evidence
34:07
may have been right in front of them all day.
34:10
Speaker 12: Okay, mister, continue to take off your shoes.
34:18
Speaker 8: And then take off your sweatshirt.
34:21
Speaker 1: Uh, it's oh cool. I'll try to get you to
34:25
the blanket. You've got two blankets there.
34:26
Speaker 11: I'll try to get the one.
34:29
Speaker 1: Oh.
34:35
Speaker 5: When officers hold up Isaiah's shoes, they notice they're covered
34:39
in dirt and possibly dried blood. It's the first and
34:43
only detail that could place him anywhere near the crime scene,
34:47
but it's far from definitive. With the day coming to
34:50
an end, investigators finish processing their findings and prepare for tomorrow,
34:54
hoping they'll finally be able to answer what really happened
34:57
to Richard. As for Isaiah, by continuing to refuse to speak,
35:01
he has effectively handed his fate over to his family,
35:04
who have already begun forming theories and accusations, with even
35:08
the closest relatives ready to completely turn on each other.
35:15
The next morning, after nearly twelve hours of detectives digging
35:19
through the family's past, troubling rumors begin to surface, alleging
35:23
Isaiah might have been involved in an old cold homicide
35:26
case that remains unsolved to this day. Detectives also hear
35:30
whispers that Isaiah's own parents may have helped cover it
35:34
up and may have even known what happened to Richard
35:37
long before anyone else. These are serious allegations that detectives
35:42
will need to explore carefully, but right now, their immediate
35:46
priority is uncovering what truly happened to Richard and who
35:49
is responsible to do that. They begin calling family members
35:53
into the station for formal interviews. The first to arrive
35:56
is Isaiah's father, Anthony, among many other detail else, detectives
36:01
need to address one critical question. Why was he so
36:04
quick to suspect his own son. Was it simply a
36:07
gut feeling or did he know something no one else did.
36:12
Speaker 22: Oh, I think it was a week ago, right when
36:14
it was the week before this incident happened, and Kim
36:18
is like, you guys need to come down and there,
36:21
and Isaiah's acting crazy. We go down there and we
36:25
walk in the house. As soon as we get in
36:27
the house, he's like he has this big bag of
36:30
weed that you could tell that he got from like
36:32
the dispenser or whatnot.
36:33
Speaker 1: It's big.
36:34
Speaker 11: Are my eyes?
36:35
Speaker 1: You know?
36:35
Speaker 22: It was like it was about this big what the
36:37
are you doing here? Like this is what you kick
36:40
me out the house for? Right, And I was like, yeah,
36:41
he says, what the are you doing here? This has
36:43
nothing to do with you, And I was like, listen here, man,
36:46
your aunt scared because you're you're wilding out up in here.
36:49
So then I'm looking at him and he was like, Sam,
36:53
say I am.
36:53
Speaker 1: He's got a butcher knife like this and he just
36:55
likes it. But he's like.
36:57
Speaker 22: Crying, say I am, and say this. If he got me,
37:01
it would have been all of us, you know. So
37:03
I just said I'll leave And when did I mess up?
37:07
You know as a father that i'd do something wrong,
37:09
like what did I do? Because this is not you?
37:12
And he was just like, You're the best dad ever.
37:14
Speaker 12: Man.
37:14
Speaker 22: I couldn't ask for a dad man better than you.
37:17
Man is kind of like, you did everything right, you're
37:20
a great dad man. And then and then Kim's like
37:23
bust out crying, and then He's just like get.
37:27
Speaker 1: Out, mother, kill you.
37:30
Speaker 5: Naturally, this account from Anthony catches detectives off guard as
37:34
they realized the incident may have foreshadowed everything, so they
37:38
paused the interview and look into it, confirming that it
37:41
did in fact occur. One week earlier, police were calling
37:44
to Isaiah's aunt Kim's house after reports that he was
37:48
experiencing a medic episode, and as detectives review the bodycam
37:51
footage of that incident, it quickly becomes clear why the
37:55
entire family believes he did it.
37:58
Speaker 1: Just taste the out of him.
37:59
Speaker 24: What's he's got the knife with him?
38:01
Speaker 2: Yeah?
38:02
Speaker 24: Okay, what's okay? Okay?
38:06
Speaker 8: What's what's his issue?
38:08
Speaker 1: Like?
38:08
Speaker 24: Is he can you do you guys want to just
38:10
stay out here. I know it's he's your son, but
38:11
we just don't know what the situation is, right, is
38:15
the idea of a knife on you? Do you want
38:16
to go down to the ground just just to verify. Man,
38:19
We're just hey, Isaiah, we're gonna put you in cuffs,
38:21
but it's just for our safey. Okay, you're not under arrest.
38:24
Speaker 1: We just want to make sure.
38:25
Speaker 24: Okay, okay, we want to go down to your knees. Man, Jehu,
38:29
your put your eyes brand your back man, can you
38:32
put your hands buying back again? You're not under arrest, okay,
38:36
just doing this for your safety.
38:38
Speaker 2: Is his recording?
38:38
Speaker 24: Yeah, you've been recorded on a camera right here, So is.
38:42
Speaker 1: It Is it supposed to be read when it's recording.
38:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's see what's spinking red?
38:46
Speaker 11: Okay?
38:46
Speaker 24: Yea, yeah, you want to walk over your to our car. Man,
38:48
We're gonna figure out what's going on and then kind
38:50
of just go from there.
38:51
Speaker 11: Okay.
38:51
Speaker 5: When officers detain Isaiah, they find him in tears, struggling
38:55
to hold himself together, and as they pull him away
38:57
from his family, he's about to tell officer there's something
39:00
unexpected about himself.
39:02
Speaker 10: What's going on today?
39:05
Speaker 2: I'm just going through lish right now. So okay, do
39:08
you want to do you have any offlans to urge
39:10
yourself or anything like that?
39:12
Speaker 12: Uh?
39:12
Speaker 14: Nah?
39:14
Speaker 21: No, I mean I guess everybody do you know? But
39:17
I mean to urge yourself today? Nah, not today, but
39:21
this past this past week. I have a rough Yeah,
39:25
but it's all good.
39:25
Speaker 14: Bro.
39:26
Speaker 1: I'll bounce back, but I'm gonna shake that.
39:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's all good, Bro.
39:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trumna shake back again and again and again.
39:34
Speaker 10: Do you want again?
39:35
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to the os war?
39:37
Speaker 2: And again and again?
39:38
Speaker 29: Ruh?
39:38
Speaker 10: Do you want to go to the oscar or anything
39:40
like that?
39:40
Speaker 12: Nah?
39:41
Speaker 1: Bro, it's good like I'm good.
39:42
Speaker 11: So so what was it?
39:44
Speaker 2: What was the deal with the knife? I got a
39:45
switcher in there.
39:46
Speaker 1: It's called it's a plant.
39:47
Speaker 21: Basically cut use a knife, and I used to squit it, okay,
39:51
to cut, to take out the tobacco, to put my.
39:53
Speaker 30: Weed in Okay at first Okay.
39:57
Speaker 1: Then me and my answer argument that knife was on
39:59
the table, so I already.
40:01
Speaker 21: It was already there and me had it was arguing
40:05
I don't.
40:05
Speaker 1: Want you to leave, but she just it's not that
40:08
big of a did I.
40:09
Speaker 28: Was a good person, Bro, I said, I've don't you
40:14
saying that will happened?
40:18
Speaker 2: I just lie, bro.
40:20
Speaker 5: Clearly, there is sympathy in the officer's voice as he
40:24
realizes the men in front of him has been dealt
40:27
a very difficult hand in life, and although Isaiah downplays
40:30
the incident, in hindsight, it would read very differently because
40:35
perhaps this was the last and only time something could
40:40
have been done to prevent the tragic fate of Richard Andrews.
40:45
After analyzing the incident and forming a clearer picture of Isaiah,
40:49
detectives return to finish their interview with Anthony. Through his account,
40:53
it becomes clear he believes Isaiah's issues stem from two factors,
40:58
prolonged marijuana use and report head trauma from his time
41:01
as a wide receiver, a position notorious for heavy hits
41:05
and brain damage. Anthony also goes on to clarify crucial
41:08
details about his son's mental state, making it evident that
41:12
his initial suspicions of Isaiah were rooted in his son's
41:15
increasingly unpredictable and volatile behavior. So, with Anthony's perspective now
41:21
on the record, the interview comes to an end and
41:23
detectives move on to Richard's daughter, Kim, the person who
41:27
found the body. Kim goes on to explain why she
41:30
immediately suspected her nephew Isaiah, pointing to his history of
41:34
violent psychotic episodes, including pulling guns and knives on family members,
41:39
as well as his white vans covered in dirt, something
41:42
she says is highly unusual for him. Notably, she ends
41:47
the interview by saying she fears that if Isaiah is
41:50
ever released, he will do it again. With the case
41:53
against Isaiah growing stronger by the minute, detectives then shift
41:57
their attention to two more family members. Richard's daughter Chrissy
42:02
had her partner Floyd. Unlike everyone else, these two family
42:06
members are about to become Isaiah's best and perhaps only chance.
42:10
I'm shifting how detectives view Isaiah's role in all of this.
42:14
Speaker 11: It's starting to kind of start this off as far
42:18
as your it would have been your.
42:20
Speaker 1: Father, right, yes.
42:22
Speaker 12: So I find out that they they find my dad
42:28
buried in the back of his shop. I already knew.
42:34
I told him, why are you letting that mother Christia
42:37
my dad's house? You know he's gonna kill him.
42:40
Speaker 8: So I know you have questions for me, and then
42:42
obviously I have questions for you, and I think they're
42:45
both cured. Around the scene.
42:47
Speaker 3: When I got there, bro, it was weird, weird, weird,
42:51
and I'm like, man, something's not right. So I left,
42:54
and that's when I told her and explained it to her.
42:57
I even knew something was wrong before you have this episode.
43:00
I say something that's not right with this kid. Something
43:03
you guys might want to be careful. Sure, as soon
43:06
as I leave, As soon as we leave, all hairs
43:10
break loose.
43:11
Speaker 11: Explain to me now the background, how you knew something
43:14
weird is going on over there.
43:16
Speaker 12: Because he prior to this, he was staying with us.
43:19
And I'm not exactly sure exactly what happened, but he
43:22
starts a competition with my son. He pulls out a
43:25
pistol from his draws isaiahh Okay sets it down. I
43:30
got a back hold of my sister Cassie, and I said,
43:34
you know, that boy is sick. He's beyond therapy. He
43:37
needs can help, like he needs to be medicated.
43:40
Speaker 3: The thing, like I said, the only thing, the only
43:43
thing that that that just bothers me the most. That
43:47
kid does not clean that or he wanted to make
43:50
an attempt.
43:51
Speaker 1: He'll drop something on the floor and just walk away.
43:53
Speaker 2: From it and leave it there.
43:55
Speaker 3: And usually I'll and usually I'll even ask and where's Richard,
43:58
because I will say hi to him. But for some reason,
44:01
it's just the atmosphere was just I'm like, all right,
44:04
so i'ms wrong.
44:05
Speaker 1: So I got on the phone with her and I'm like, oh,
44:06
he's still wigging.
44:08
Speaker 3: He's wigging or and I'll say, in your sister's trip there,
44:11
I said, your sister acting like she's scared to death.
44:14
Speaker 1: Well she knows he goes through this episode. Of course
44:16
he's scared.
44:17
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, after we found out what really happened
44:23
is that she.
44:25
Speaker 1: Knew what he did.
44:27
Speaker 5: At this point, detectives begin to realize Christy and Floyd
44:31
aren't just angry at Isaiah, they also hold his mother accountable,
44:35
and the couple suspicions aligned with detectives, who still can't
44:39
explain why Cassie asks them to arrest Isaiah before the
44:43
body was even discovered. So with all of this in mind,
44:47
detectives would ask them both point blank who they believe
44:50
is truly responsible for Richard's death.
44:54
Speaker 4: So I'm on the same page as you guys believe
44:58
that Isaiah's mom hmm, that she had she.
45:04
Speaker 1: Had knowledge of it. She had to have knowledge of it.
45:08
I mean she got kid.
45:09
Speaker 3: That kid wouldn't have clean that kid would because he
45:13
ran over to the neighbor's house and tried to take
45:15
their car. Did you guys get that in from Yes,
45:17
all right, So he's paradic, he's not clean. He's trying,
45:21
he's running on, he's trying to get off. He's trying
45:22
to run off. He's trying to do whatever you can
45:24
do to get out of a situation. He's not thinking
45:26
about cleaning. He's not thinking about picking this guy up
45:28
and put them in the back of the truck and
45:30
burying them and then go down to the valley and
45:32
go get a tark, then go back up there in
45:35
her dad's truck and they see it, and go back
45:37
up to the house and wrap them in the tartars
45:39
and then come back and down to the valley, which
45:41
is across the street from her surch's.
45:43
Speaker 1: House and bury him.
45:44
Speaker 3: When you said that, you you believe that she knew.
45:49
Speaker 2: Do you believe that she helped cover the body clean?
45:52
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't go to that for her. I
45:54
can't go that far because she doesn't have that mentality.
45:57
Speaker 12: At the end of this conversation. If she's not arrested
46:00
by then, I don't know what to tell you, guys.
46:02
But she didn't sought it up like per se, like
46:07
oh Isaiah's going to do this. She manipulated the situation
46:11
to her advantage. She knew what her son was capable of.
46:15
She knew how to get him to that point of
46:20
manic and psychosis.
46:21
Speaker 5: To detectives, accusations like these don't come lightly, especially between sisters. Additionally,
46:28
Floyd's description of Isaiah aligns with what detectives already believe
46:33
that he's impulsive, messy, and incapable of thinking ahead. And
46:37
with the next interview set to be Cassie herself, detectives
46:41
understand just how much weight this conversation carries, not only
46:46
for Isaiah's future, but for Cassie's as well. There's a
46:49
lot they still need to figure out her unusual behavior
46:52
outside the sergeant's car, her possible involvement in Richard's murder,
46:57
and even lingering questions about a potential pass homicide. But
47:01
they know these answers won't come easily. They'll have to
47:04
approach this carefully, waiting for the right moment to press her,
47:08
and as her interview unfolds, watch closely for the moment
47:12
Cassie begins to fear she's the one being implicated.
47:16
Speaker 8: There's no easy way to start this conversation. Go for it, okay,
47:20
So I'll work through it. Okay, So how has Isaiah's
47:25
mental health's been in the last few years. It sounds
47:27
like he's been suffering the last year for sure, last year.
47:34
Speaker 1: As far as like.
47:35
Speaker 11: His mental health. Is it something that he's diagnosed with
47:38
or just something you guys started noticing.
47:40
Speaker 16: We started noticing. I'm trying to remember everything.
47:53
Speaker 19: October I was before October of twenty twenty three, so
47:59
back for around yeah.
48:02
Speaker 16: I believe that's when he started smoking.
48:05
Speaker 19: And he didn't want to work, he didn't want to
48:11
do that type of stuff, and we kind of were like, well,
48:13
he's going through it. You know, he's he's done some
48:17
he's done playing football, and that's some he's done since
48:20
he's five years old.
48:22
Speaker 8: You know, big cult like life change.
48:24
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, no school, no schedule, no workout.
48:30
Speaker 5: Clearly, Cassie appears emotional, possibly even carrying a sense of
48:34
guilts as she speaks about her son. Beyond that, nothing
48:38
about her behavior stands out to detectives as suspicious, but
48:42
as the interview continues, she begins recounting the same incident
48:46
at Chrissy's house, where some noticeable differences between her story
48:50
and the rest of the family. Starts to emerge.
48:54
Speaker 12: I knocked on the back door.
48:55
Speaker 16: She doesn't keep her back she uses it for her
48:59
front door.
49:00
Speaker 8: But it's just.
49:02
Speaker 31: And I walked in and my son's sitting you're a
49:08
little kitchen net table there. There's marijuana all over, a
49:13
big bag, some paraphernalia.
49:19
Speaker 16: But he's sitting there with a knife.
49:22
Speaker 1: And I walk in.
49:23
Speaker 16: I was like, saw, hey, son, what's going on?
49:27
Speaker 15: What are you doing here? I said, well, what's going
49:33
on with you? Is everything okay? And he didn't see
49:37
my husband. His dad came in behind me, and then
49:43
he's seen his dad and instantly he's pissed, what the
49:48
are you doing here?
49:54
Speaker 16: But he hadn't gotten up yet, like he was still
49:57
sitting and sitting and he has it in his hands.
50:02
Speaker 8: Like you're doing right now.
50:04
Speaker 32: So it's just sitting back and has it and he's
50:06
like trying. He's like, what are you doing here? And
50:09
we're still kind of standing at the door. And when
50:11
you see my husband, he got even war pissed. Who
50:15
effan called you? What are you doing here?
50:19
Speaker 16: My husband looked at me and he stood in between us,
50:23
and you said get out of here, get out of
50:25
here and go call the sheriff now.
50:28
Speaker 5: While retelling the story, Cassie appears far less disturbed by
50:32
the incident, despite it involving her own son. She also
50:37
seems reluctant to discuss the part where he threatened her
50:40
husband's life. So after a few hours of letting Cassie
50:43
speak freely, allowing her to settle into the role of
50:46
the victim, detectives would finally begin to push back, starting
50:50
with one detail that would clearly catch her off guard.
50:54
Speaker 8: And I don't mean this question in anything, but obviously,
50:57
like at this point, I can only see certain things.
50:59
Did you guys explain all of that about himporting the
51:02
knife flying Anthony to the deputies?
51:04
Speaker 29: Yeah, and dispatch too, she said, don't go back in there.
51:10
But I get why they're angry with me too. You know,
51:14
that's my son, and they don't.
51:17
Speaker 14: Think I did anything to try and help him.
51:20
Speaker 11: And I think most of the emotions are going to
51:23
be high right now.
51:25
Speaker 14: They'll never talk to me again. I already know that,
51:30
And they've made other threats. They've also said other things too,
51:36
and I and I don't know if you want to talk.
51:38
Speaker 8: About those right now, but I think I Detective Hunt
51:43
is following up on that part but the weird, vague
51:47
comments about this is potentially not the first time Isaiah
51:51
had sons.
51:53
Speaker 16: And I didn't hear any of it.
51:55
Speaker 14: I was in the house, but they were really going
51:58
on like he's done this before, and.
52:04
Speaker 16: That was an implication. But she also said that my
52:10
husband and I helped cover it up and that they
52:15
know the name.
52:16
Speaker 14: Strategies like this happen and people don't find their loved ones.
52:24
Speaker 11: At least we.
52:24
Speaker 10: Found my dad.
52:26
Speaker 5: Clearly, Cassie is distraught not only at the prospect of
52:31
being ostracized by her family, but also with the possibility
52:34
of being suspected by detectives as Isaiah's accomplice. But there's
52:39
still one more question detectives need answered, after which they'll
52:44
have made up their minds about Cassie.
52:46
Speaker 8: When you went to Sargrobrigo's and you made the comment
52:50
that it's him, you need to get him in cust
52:53
you need to get my son in cost Why for
52:55
you in that moment did you you know you knew
52:58
it was Isaiah? Where was your mindset up? I know,
53:08
I'm asking you to explain, like I've got to.
53:11
Speaker 20: Was just just the things he kept saying, like you guys,
53:16
why are you pressing me? He's like he's gone all
53:19
the time. Weeks at a time, I said, how long
53:22
has it been since.
53:23
Speaker 8: You've seen him?
53:24
Speaker 16: And he's like a day and a half.
53:27
Speaker 8: So you've got kind of every other family member that's
53:29
here that's worried and everything like that. And his response
53:33
didn't seem to match your guys.
53:35
Speaker 30: Right, you just know your feel it is to say, then,
53:42
I'm like, he has to get him cut, he has
53:46
to go to jail.
53:47
Speaker 20: You know.
53:48
Speaker 12: I just felt it, and.
53:51
Speaker 16: I'm I'm his mom, you know, And I'm not in denial.
53:57
Speaker 8: And I do think personally you did the right thing.
54:00
I think you handled everything as best as anyone could,
54:04
as best a parent could. And I don't think that's
54:07
me saying that's going to bring you any comfort, but
54:09
I do believe it.
54:10
Speaker 12: Thank you.
54:12
Speaker 5: Despite her unusual behavior, the detective appears to take Cassie
54:17
at her word, believing she may be genuinely innocent. Her family, however,
54:23
remains unconvinced. After wrapping up this and several other family interviews,
54:28
investigators find themselves between overrock and a hard place. So far,
54:32
there's no concrete evidence that Chrissy or anyone else was involved.
54:37
In fact, at this stage, there's barely enough to definitively
54:41
prove Isaiah's involvement, so Isaiah remains in jail, hoping that
54:45
with the right lawyer and no further discoveries at the house,
54:49
he might still be able to walk away scott free.
54:54
One week passes before the case finally sees an update,
54:59
but it's not not the one investigators were hoping for.
55:02
The autopsy results have just come in. According to the coroner,
55:06
Richard died at his home from a severe knife wound
55:09
to the neck that resulted in significant blood loss. He
55:12
also showed signs of blunt force trauma to the head,
55:15
along with bruising around both eyes. His body was then
55:18
dragged out and later buried in a shallow, tarp wrapped
55:21
grave at his own shop. But even with these horrific findings,
55:26
it says little about who was responsible for Richard's death,
55:29
other than suggesting it was someone deeply disturbed, and with
55:33
every passing day, both detectives and the family begin to
55:38
fear that the person or people responsible may never face justice.
55:45
More than two months pass and the case begins to stall,
55:49
but then investigators catch a break. They receive a major
55:53
update from the jail where Isaiah is being held. So
55:57
detectives rush over and meet with one of of Isaiah's
56:00
fellow inmates and has some very interesting information to share.
56:05
Speaker 3: We're voting detectivesm most like the first off, we're not
56:08
your case.
56:10
Speaker 1: You're not in trouble or anything like that. This is
56:12
about a different case that I'm wanted to talk to
56:14
you about with Isaiah Thomas. How does he act in there?
56:18
Speaker 11: Crazy?
56:19
Speaker 1: But who kind of got his mind?
56:21
Speaker 5: Yeah?
56:21
Speaker 11: What kind of stuff does he do?
56:24
Speaker 1: He backs on the on the door and then he
56:27
starts screaming blood blah blood one night and he's let's
56:31
just sleep it off, okay all night.
56:34
Speaker 2: He's he's keeping the people up.
56:36
Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah he is.
56:37
Speaker 2: Does he puts people off?
56:39
Speaker 17: There?
56:39
Speaker 14: Does?
56:40
Speaker 2: What have you heard as far as that his case?
56:43
Speaker 1: Ah, well, that he kills his grandpa?
56:46
Speaker 22: Yeah, exact open okay, And before he killed him that
56:51
he asked him if he believe in God?
56:53
Speaker 2: Oh really?
56:54
Speaker 1: Yeah? What what did the grandma say that he did? Okay?
56:58
And then he just did he did he say.
57:02
Speaker 22: Why he killed the grandpa?
57:06
Speaker 2: Oh?
57:06
Speaker 12: Yeah, he was a yeah.
57:11
Speaker 1: Since he was a little kid. Is when he killed them?
57:15
Speaker 11: Was Grandpa trying to do something.
57:19
Speaker 1: No, it's just formercial.
57:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, sure enough. What the inmate describes aligns with
57:28
key details from the autopsy, particularly the fatal wound, but
57:32
even then, investigators can't be certain the inmate could be
57:36
telling the truth or saying whatever he thinks will benefit
57:40
him in hopes of a reduced sentence, But that uncertainty
57:43
would soon come to an end with an update from
57:46
Isaiah himself two weeks after speaking with the inmate in
57:51
early February, Isaiah pleads guilty to second degree murder and
57:56
unlawful disposal of human remains on March tenth, sentence to
58:00
a maximum of twenty years in prison, along with midatory
58:03
mental health treatment and no contact orders involving several family
58:07
members who cooperated with the investigation. As of now, no
58:11
other family members have been charged, with law enforcement ultimately
58:15
concluding this was a solo actor homicide, dismissing any allegations
58:19
of parental involvement, and as for the alleged prior homicide,
58:23
police have so far found no evidence linking Isaiah to
58:27
any unsolved cases.
