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