• 1:43
  Speaker 6: But then when it was here the second day, you're like,

  Speaker 3: I get a phone call that her Jeep had been found.
• 1:49

• 2:27
  Speaker 10: It has to.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 2:30
  Speaker 10: Is it her?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Is it her?
• 2:32

• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Not a stitch of clothing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: Not a sock.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: The way she was disposed of like a piece of trash.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: She didn't deserve that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: The medical examiner listed the cause of death as homicidal violence.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Were they strangled? Were they shot? Those are the things
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: you need to know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 11: Jennifer's murder impacted my wife and her family. You can't
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: even put it in words.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Cemetery 01.
• 3:08
  Speaker 11: This is unlike anything that I've ever done as a filmmaker,
• 3:11
  Speaker 11: but I thought he said it the first time we
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: were with him. Finding the killer and actually being able
• 3:16
  Speaker 11: to prove where's the physical evidence, who the killer is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Let's continue with the timeline.
• 3:21
  Speaker 11: This is much more than a passion project because this
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: is family. We're going to follow through and we're going
• 3:27
  Speaker 11: to get this done.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You want to know who killed Jennifer Harris? Absolutely.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I'm a Texas girl.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: I believe in justice. Old school justice.
• 3:37
  Speaker 10: 48 Hours, Murder on Red River.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: In the northeast corner of Texas, where the banks of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the Red River touch Oklahoma, you'll find Fannin County and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the town of Bonham, one of the oldest cities in
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the Lone Star State. And it's where Mark Johnson, who
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: had just wrapped up 32 years in law enforcement, decided
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to ditch retirement and run for sheriff in 2016.
• 4:38
  Speaker 12: I met Jerry Harris, the father of the young lady,
• 4:42
  Speaker 12: on the campaign trail.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And he made a promise from one father to another
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to continue the investigation into the murder of Jerry's oldest daughter,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: 28-year-old Jennifer Harris, a case unsolved for more than 15 years.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: When I came here January 1, I demanded that case
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: be brought to me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That was the first thing you did?
• 5:07
  Speaker 12: Yes, I wanted the Jennifer Harris case.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's father, a Marine and Vietnam veteran, finally has hope.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: I think he's serious about trying to solve this case.
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: This is my office.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And he's not the only one. For the last eight years,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Darrell Parker has been working with Jerry Harris to solve
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: his daughter's murder. First as a lieutenant in the Fannin
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Office, and now as a private investigator.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: A Marine never meets a stranger if he meets another Marine.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: He too was a Marine, and Parker has never charged
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Jerry a dime.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: I still have a lot of that Captain America justice
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: kind of thing going on. I want Jerry and his
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: family to find justice.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: In high school, Jennifer Harris was popular and athletic.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Brilliant red-haired girl, bright brown eyes, played tennis, and was
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: a cheerleader.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's younger sister, Alyssa.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: She was a dreamer.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: She was an idealist, and she knew that there was
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: a bigger world outside of Bonham, Texas.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Bonham is probably your prototypical small-town USA. Gossip is on
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: an epic scale.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: When Jennifer Harris goes missing, How does that news play
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in Bonham?
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: It was a bombshell because this girl was not too
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: far removed from high school. To understand that she had
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: been murdered, it disturbed a lot of people.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: She was only 28 years old. She was just beginning
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: to come into her own right when she was murdered.
• 6:45
  Speaker 12: The day that I came in here and looked at
• 6:47
  Speaker 12: her cases, it opened in those boxes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: I wanted to sit down on the floor and cry.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That's because after more than 15 years, This is all
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: they have to work with.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And what do we have in each of these boxes?
• 7:04
  Speaker 12: This is all documentation that's in there. You know, when
• 7:07
  Speaker 12: she first came up missing, they're looking for newspaper articles,
• 7:12
  Speaker 12: business records. And this is just some case reports. You
• 7:16
  Speaker 12: can see that now this was wet. A lot of
• 7:18
  Speaker 12: this stuff got wet. They had some pods out back.
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: They stored a lot of evidence.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: They leaked. A lot of stuff got wet.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Contaminated.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Yes. Some of them got destroyed.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: The file was very light. Duplicates of the same paperwork
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: over and over and over again. It was a mess.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Although the original investigators have said they did their best,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's laptop computer and clothing, a shirt, bra, and jeans
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that might have been hers, were booked into evidence, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: somehow mysteriously disappeared.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It's just been mishandled.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Why would it be mishandled?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't know.
• 7:57
  Speaker 12: The only thing I can gather out of it is
• 7:59
  Speaker 12: lack of experience, lack of training.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It was Mother's Day, 2002. Jennifer was visiting her friend,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Christy Farr, in the early evening. It gets to be
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: close to 8 o'clock, and Jennifer's like, I got to go?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: She never told Christy where she was going, but Jennifer
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Harris never returned home that night. The next day, Jennifer's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Jeep was discovered. parked just down the road from a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: local music spot. While she was still missing, authorities reached
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: out to the two men in her life.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not guilty of anything.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Her former boyfriend and business partner, James Hamilton, and her ex-husband,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Rob Holman.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: Well, how you doing?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Pretty good.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Both agreed to speak with investigators without a lawyer present.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They had not been arrested, but both men were read
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: their Miranda rights.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So you have the right to make a silence.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And both denied seeing Jennifer the night she disappeared. According
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to his police interview, Jennifer's former boyfriend, James Hamilton, was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: with a friend more than an hour away from Bonham
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: at this McDonald's around the time investigators believed Jennifer disappeared.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: He even took and passed a lie detector test.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: He had an alibi for that evening. Alibi checked out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: But ex-husband Rob Holman seemed concerned about his alibi.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: I'm just worried and scared because I know that I
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: don't have anybody to say where I was at that night.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Rob told investigators he had gone out that night to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: buy beer and visit friends. But when they weren't home,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he drove around alone for five hours on the roads
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of rural Fanning County.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Sunday when you went riding around? Mm-hmm.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: You saw it?
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: I didn't see it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Or something. I saw a Jeep, but I didn't see,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know whose it was.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But when the investigator pushes harder, it sounds like Rob
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: is admitting he did see her Jeep that night.
• 10:07
  Speaker 13: Where did you see her Jeep?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: By now, Jennifer had been missing for 72 hours. The
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: search would continue for three more days.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: I was getting about three or four hours sleep a night.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Spent the rest of my time searching, driving country roads,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: looking for buzzards.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That's a hell of a thing for a father to
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: have to do.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: That's what I did.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: Until they found her. Things seemed to go in slow motion.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: It was very surreal.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Finding Jennifer's body six days after her disappearance devastated her father, Jerry.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But it did little to clear up the mystery of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: what had happened to her. She was so badly decomposed,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the medical examiner couldn't determine the cause of death. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's family believes they know the answer. Her sister, Alyssa,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and her filmmaker husband, Barry Wernick, are on a mission.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to prove who killed Jennifer and why. In the time
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you've been looking into this, have you gone from, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: want the facts to shape my opinion, to now having
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: a sense of who killed Jennifer? Absolutely.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: To think about how beautiful she was and her red
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: hair and just how.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And to think about how she was found.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: That's what I just can't let go of until justice
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: is done.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: There's a prom dress.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: There's that prom dress.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Filmmaker Barry Wernick married Jennifer Harris' sister Alyssa eight years
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: after Jennifer's murder.
• 12:15
  Speaker 11: When Alyssa first told me about her sister's murder, the
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: first thing that came to my mind was, who did it?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know who did it? All these things started
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: going through my mind.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Barry and Alyssa are determined to answer those questions by
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: making a docuseries.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Didn't transcribe that?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Barry, an experienced filmmaker, was a consultant on this broadcast.
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: I felt like I could use my filmmaking ability to
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: do our own investigating. because it didn't seem like anyone
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: was doing it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: He is working hand-in-hand with Daryl Parker and another private eye,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Jim Holloway, reexamining everything. We are in a place, this
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is central to your theory of what happened.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: The reason why Daryl Parker is so sure this is
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: where Jennifer died is because of a clue that lies
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: on the river's floor, a short way down this dirt road.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: She had some blue mud on the front of her,
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: according to fishermen. There were only two spots on the
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: river within several miles that that mud is on the bottom.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And this is one of them.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: This is that blue marl mud that was on the body.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Not far from the riverbank, there used to be a cottage.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: This is where the original, you know, caretaker cottage was.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: And it just so happened to burn down the night
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: that Jennifer Harris disappeared. That is a piece of melted
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: glass from the original fire.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Parker suspects Jennifer left her friend Christy's house and met
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: her killer here. He believes the cottage was burned to
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: hide the evidence. No godly earth reason for that shack
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to burn.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: At the same night, Jennifer comes up missing.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Parker hoped to find clues here.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: We came here with a crew and excavated the whole
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: thing 15 feet that way to another 10 feet that
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: way on either side of this foundation.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I see a well.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: We drained the well. And then we dug down in
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: the muck, probably a foot or two, and we didn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: come up with anything.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But years of coming up empty hasn't deterred Daryl Parker
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: or Barry and Alyssa Wernick. And it hasn't shaken their
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: conviction of who killed Jennifer.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: When I think about Jennifer, I think about Jennifer and Rob.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Rob and Jennifer were together for as long as anyone
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: can remember. She was a sixth grader when she began
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: dating Rob, a fifth grader. By high school, the teenagers
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: were practically inseparable, says Jennifer's cousin, Susan Bowen.
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: He was just part of our family from the time
• 14:55
  Speaker 13: we were growing up. Jennifer was just in love with him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 13: She just adored everything about him.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Jennifer had big dreams, bigger than could take flight in
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: small-town Bonham.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: Jennifer had potential to explore greater horizons than just Fannin County, Texas.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: She moved three hours away to go to college. A
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: few years later, Rob followed her there, and the couple
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: married in 1996.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: It was gorgeous.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: It was meticulously planned at a very beautiful mansion out
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: in the country.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: One year after the wedding, Jennifer's mother died of cancer.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: You could tell she had learned a lot.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: In the few years that we lost our mother, she
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: became an adult that was very open-minded.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: In 1999, the couple bought a house in suburban Dallas,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: but there was friction brewing.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: I think that my sister was growing and evolving and
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: moving forward in her life, and Rob was stuck.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And he just wasn't going to change.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: According to Jennifer's family, Rob, who was working in landscaping,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: preferred the slower pace of rural Bonham while she enjoyed
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: living near a big city. Jennifer embraced a holistic lifestyle
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and enrolled in massage therapy school.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: She transformed in front of my eyes.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: She said that she had met someone who was like-minded
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: and who wanted to change. start a business that was
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: a massage and wellness center.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That someone was James Hamilton, someone she'd met in that
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: massage therapy school.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: He was different, but.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: In what way?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Well, he was new age and.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Touchy-feely? A little bit. Their relationship was complicated. James was
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: living with the mother of his child and had another
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: on the way. Jennifer was still married to Rob.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: I told her that it was not a good idea.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And what did she say?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: She didn't tell me a lot after that. She knew
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: where I stood.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: I went up there to see what was going on
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: in their lives.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: When Jennifer's father got there, he was shocked to see
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: holes in the wall. While no one knows for sure
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: how they got there, Jerry seemed certain Rob was responsible.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: He took his fist and knocked five holes in the
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: living room wall about as big as a softball.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Jerry remembers the holes in the wall. Alyssa remembers something worse.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: My sister called me one night and was shaking in
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: her voice.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: She says Jennifer told her Rob came home drunk and
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: forced himself on her. Jennifer never reported the alleged attack,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: But Rob would later tell police after her disappearance that
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Jennifer was the violent one in the relationship. Rob moved
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: back to Bonham, and Jennifer's new love interest, James Hamilton,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: moved in with her. They became partners in a massage
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: therapy business in suburban Dallas. but Jennifer's infatuation with James
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: quickly faded.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: Well, James wanted to marry her, and she refused to
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: marry him, and he was very upset about that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: The private investigators say Jennifer's relationship with Hamilton was rocky.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Real fiery, just fussing and fighting at each other all
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: the time.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: By the spring of 2002, your sister is leading one
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: complicated life emotionally.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Jennifer had divorced Rob, and her relationship with James was
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: on the skids. To add to the chaos, the massage
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: business had failed, and Jennifer was forced to file for bankruptcy.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: I think that everything was catching up to her, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: she never really grieved my mom's death.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: And I think she was exhausted.
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: She said, I'm not happy. I don't care about the
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: business anymore.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: With no job or income, Jennifer confided in cousin Susan
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that she'd been back in touch with her former husband,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Rob Holman, who now had a new girlfriend.
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: And she said, I still love him. And she said,
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: I want him back. And she said, I even told
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: him that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: In fact, Rob later admitted to police that even though
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: he had a girlfriend, he and Jennifer were still having sex.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: So Jennifer was living a little bit of a spellbender life.
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: To a certain extent, but James didn't know it. He
• 19:54
  Speaker 13: knew nothing about it all.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Then one day, Susan saw Jennifer outside her apartment with
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a moving truck.
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: I said, what are you doing? And she said, I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: moving to Bonham. I thought, you're only going to Bonham
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: because Rob's in Bonham. Okay, and with that, I turned
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: around and left, and that was the last time I
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: ever saw her.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: About six weeks later, Jennifer disappeared. On the very day
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: she went missing, she called Rob. Rob says she asked
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to see him, but he refused. Rob agreed to take
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a polygraph to back up his story, but for some reason,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It was never administered. Sheriff's investigators allowed him to go home.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: They had a lot more digging to do, and it
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: centered around a secret Jennifer had shared with her best friend,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Jill Wagner, just weeks before she died.
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: You know, we started talking, and she was kind of like,
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: you're not going to believe, you know, the mess I'm in.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: And she told me how, you know, that you're pretty
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: much a guest.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: I was like, you're pregnant.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: If Jennifer was pregnant, who was the father? Was it
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Rob Holman or someone else? That question became even more
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: important after the medical examiner's autopsy revealed a stunning piece
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: of information.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Her uterus was gone.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: When they examined Jennifer Harris's body, investigators were shocked.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: There was a wound that affected some of the internal organs.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Her uterus was missing.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: Her death was classified as a, quote, violent homicide.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Her uterus had somehow been removed.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: The question was, what damaged her?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: What would have the motive been?
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: That she was possibly pregnant, and that the person who
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: killed her was trying to destroy that evidence.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: In Bonham... Where gossip is often taken for gospel, people
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: couldn't stop talking.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: The public grabbed a hold of that information and they
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: started concocting their own theories as to who did it
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: and why.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: But according to the case file, there was no scientific
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: evidence to prove Jennifer was actually pregnant at the time
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: of her death. Still, Jennifer's best friend Jill Wagner told
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: investigators she had talked to Jennifer about being pregnant. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: that's not all she said.
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: You know, she told me that it was Rob's, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 14: I was kind of shocked.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Rob Holman, Jennifer's ex-husband. He had revealed to detectives in
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: his police interview that he'd met Jennifer a month before
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: she disappeared near a drive-in movie theater.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: She told me that she was pregnant.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I definitely think that she brought it up with Rob,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: and in my mind, that's what led to her death.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Daryl Parker had long been familiar with the story of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Jennifer being pregnant. Eight years after her murder, Parker, then
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a lieutenant for the sheriff's department, dropped by Rob Holman's house.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: It was Sunday, Mother's Day, a calculated move by Parker.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: So it was the anniversary of the crime. I had
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: picked out a number of photographs of her and Rob,
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: one of those being Jennifer swimming in a muddy body
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: of water. And when I gave him the stack of photographs,
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: The very first one he picked out was that one
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: with the muddy water. He stood there for about five
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: or six seconds staring at that photograph.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: But that's the one that caught his attention.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: You know, I said, well, if you want to talk,
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: call me. And I gave him my card and I left.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: A few hours later, to Parker's surprise, Holman called and
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: wanted to talk. But Parker had wanted to record the interview.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: So he suggested they meet at the sheriff's office the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: next day.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: That's where I screwed up. I should have gone right
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: then and there. I think he was ready to talk
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: and say something, and I should have just done it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: This really has you still. Why so emotional, Daryl? You're
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: really blaming yourself here.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: Well, the previous investigation had failed in so many ways.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: But he was responding to me. He was responding to
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: the pressure I was putting on him. And I let
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: it slip away.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: When Holman arrived for the interview with Parker, he had
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: a lawyer.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Did you have.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: Anything to do with the death of Jennifer Harris?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: Jennifer's pregnancy. Did you believe she was pregnant?
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: No.
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: I didn't think she was. Did you think that she
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: believed she was pregnant?
• 25:02
  Speaker 14: No.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Remember, there was no evidence Jennifer was pregnant. And in fact,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: forensic experts in Dallas would later conclude Jennifer's missing uterus
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't even cut out by the killer. Instead, her uterus
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and other body parts were destroyed by turtles and fish
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: in the river. But the rumors persisted, and they had
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: plenty of company in Bonham. A year after Jennifer's murder,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: this man found himself In the center of the storm.
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: They were saying that I had been arrested for this murder.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you hear this, and what's your reaction?
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: What are you talking about? Where did this come from?
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: That's crazy.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Crazy, because Miles Porter was also the district attorney at
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the time, overseeing the case. For the record, did you
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: know Jennifer Harris?
• 25:56
  Speaker 14: No.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Had you ever met Jennifer Harris?
• 25:58
  Speaker 14: No.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Did you kill Jennifer Harris?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Porter says locals cooked up the story because they had
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: a grudge against him over an unrelated case he tried.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Did this cost you your job?
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no doubt.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Miles Porter blames losing his re-election on the Jennifer Harris gossip.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Now in private practice, Porter still lives with the fallout
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: from the unfounded allegations.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: I've had, on a number of occasions, random people throughout
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: the county say, I can't be fair in this case because...
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: You're with the lawyer, and I think you killed Jennifer Harris. Crazy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: 14, 15 years later?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: Still happens.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: In the court of public opinion, he was definitely a suspect.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's no shred of evidence that he was connected
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: at all. None. Darrell Parker thinks he knows who's responsible.
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: Not Miles Porter, not James Hamilton, not a random stranger.
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: In my view, the evidence points directly at Rob Holman.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Filmmaker Barry Wernick agrees.
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: We were going to let the facts take us where
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: the facts took us. And where it brought us was
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: to one person that it had to be.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: But they haven't been able to physically connect Rob Holman
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to Jennifer Harris the night of her disappearance. They're both
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: hoping this woman can.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: We need that eyewitness.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: And in your view, Rhonda Fitzwater is that eyewitness? Yes.
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: On this rural road in Fannin County, Texas, Rhonda Fitzwater
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: could hold the key to Daryl Parker and Barry Wernick's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: theory that Rob Holman met up with Jennifer Harris that night.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: So what do you make of this idea that somehow
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you saw Jennifer Harris and Rob Holman?
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I've not ever heard that until you told me that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Rhonda has always insisted that all she saw that night
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: was Jennifer's parked Jeep. Did you see anybody following the Jeep?
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: No.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It was already parked. Did you see Jennifer Harris?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: No, not at all.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: But for years, Parker and Wernick have believed there is
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: more to Rhonda Fitzwater's story. Only she says they are
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: sorely mistaken. After 15 years of investigation by people closely
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: connected to Bonham, maybe the best thing anyone can hope
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: for is a fresh set of eyes.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I'm flying out to Dallas, Texas. My job is really
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: to look at the facts of the case, study the case.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Could the questions about a murder in Bonham be answered
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: by someone 1,700 miles away in Boston? Meet Joe Mora,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: a private investigator and CBS News consultant. Jennifer's been dead
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: 15 years by the time you look at it, the file.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: What'd you make of that collection of.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: papers.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I thought the file was very weak, meaning that the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: investigation that went into it was extremely weak.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: 48 hours brought Moore to Texas to take a closer
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: look at the Jennifer Harris case.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: You've got to speak to people, and that's what I've done.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: So you got a little time for me?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: I do. Come on back.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: His first stop, Fannin County Sheriff Mark Johnson.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I can see your frustration where, you know, you're in
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the job for one One year, you've got the public,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and sure, the family still wants to know what happened
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to their daughter.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: There's no physical evidence. That's the problem.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: In fact, today the sheriff won't call either Rob Holman
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: or James Hamilton suspects, even though detectives did early in
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the investigations. in these documents. How come you can't call
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: them suspects?
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: You have things that lead up to them, that draw
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: your interest to them, that make them a person of interest,
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: but you don't have that connection to make them a suspect,
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: where you can tie some physical evidence into them.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Filmmaker Barry Wernick took Maura to the location of the
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: cottage privatized Parker and Holloway had come to believe was
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: burned to hide the evidence of Jennifer's murder.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: This is the shed that burned down that night.
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: The stuffed gem with a burning shed. There's all kinds
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of theories about that. Now, you just murdered somebody, but
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: about 200 yards away from where you're disposing the body
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in the river, let's light up this shed and fire,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: attract people.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Makes no sense to you.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It certainly can't tie to this case, but
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: people are trying to make it to tie in.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Wernick also brought him to the bank of the Red River,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: where he believes his sister-in-law's body was dumped.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: There's nothing on the records of this case or any
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: eyewitnesses that will tell you that this is where her
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: body was disposed.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: So we're just here basically guessing.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Mora sat down with the private eyes who had been
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: working the case for nearly a decade.
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: To me, I think it boils down to who had
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: the most to lose by killing her or not killing her.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: 18 years of child support?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe not.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: She told me that she was pregnant.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't think that we need to speculate about
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: Rob Holman's motive because he made it clear that she
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: was applying pressure to him.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And there could be no more intense pressure than I'm
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: about to have a baby and you're the father.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: That's right. You have to consider it. However, he disbelieves her.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: And he admits that in the interviews. Yeah, she said it,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: but I don't believe it. I don't think she is pregnant.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: Did you believe she was pregnant?
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: No.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I didn't think she was.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: For his part, Morrow was surprised authorities seemed to quickly
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: disregard James Hamilton, the ex-boyfriend who wanted to marry Jennifer
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: before she left him when their business failed.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: She covered all the finances for the business. She's the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: one that put her name on the loans.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's father, Jerry, made notes that two months after Jennifer's death,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Hamilton called him asking about her life insurance policy.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And in my experience, money... insurances, all that stuff is
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Money creates a lot of motive for
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: What's more, he believes investigators bought Hamilton's alibi that he
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: was with a friend at that McDonald's more than 50
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: miles away. without thoroughly vetting it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm not so thrilled about the checking they did
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: on that alibi. The one thing is you go check
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: with the alibis, and the next thing you look at,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: are these alibis lying to me? So you got to
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: go check that out. That was never done. Why?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: To Joe Mora, the investigation was flawed from the outset
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: and had authorities approached it differently, they may have gotten
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: more from their interviews.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Here's what bothers me about this situation. It's a missing person.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: They're calling people and talking to people about a missing person,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and the first thing they do is they read you
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a Miranda warning. Now, that is unheard of.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: You're saying that, sure, Rob said, I don't have an alibi,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and that might be incriminating.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: That was after he already signed the Miranda warning. So
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he's already nervous, and he's already saying, oh, I'm being charged. God,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I don't have an alibi. Of course he was nervous.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Most people would be.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, the men who've
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: been working this case for years see it very differently.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: than the man with the fresh set of eyes.
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: Circumstantially, there is a lot of evidence in the case.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: It is all circumstantial.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: But Daryl, I think me and you are a little
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: confused in reference to circumstantial. I'm saying to you, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I submit to you, that there's very little circumstantial.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Evidence, okay?
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: We'll have to agree to disagree.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Well, because I'm asking you to give me the facts
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: on what your circumstantial evidence is, and it's based on theory.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Theory ain't going to cut it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Like Daryl Parker's theory about Rhonda Fitzwater knowing more.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody's putting all the weight on this woman, and she
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: has nothing to offer to the case. Only that, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: that Jeep was there. Well, we know the Jeep was there.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: But what Joe Mora does find interesting in the case
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: file is one of the least examined parts of the story.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: One year after Jennifer's murder, this woman, Deborah Lambert, who
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: had seen a news report about the unsolved case, told
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: detectives she saw something when she was driving across the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Red River Bridge on Mother's Day.
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: There was three guys out there and a girl. Two
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: guys had the girl by her elbows, and it was
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: like she was trying to get away from him, and
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: they were restraining her.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: The girl she says she saw... had reddish-brown hair.
• 34:52
  Speaker 14: I made eye contact with her, and she was scared, terrified,
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: look on her face. My mom seen her, too, and
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: she said, that girl's supposed to get raped and killed.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: But Lambert never called police back then. She said she
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: was too afraid to get involved. What's more, her story
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: didn't fit with the investigator's timeline. She put Jennifer near
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the bridge at 5 o'clock p.m. But detectives believe Jennifer
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: left her friend Christy's house around 8 p.m. Deborah Lambert
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: saying what she saw, she saw at 5 o'clock, that's
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: not a deal-breaker for you?
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. In the real world, people are not looking
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: at their watches and clocks all the time. She may
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: be wrong on her time and not wrong on what
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: she witnessed.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Could Deborah Lambert hold the answer to who killed Jennifer Harris?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: A year and a half after Jennifer's murder, the Texas
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Rangers launched their own investigation into the case. They re-interviewed
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Deborah Lambert.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: And the story was the same. She was very detailed. Redhead.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Three guys. Two were wearing jeans. One was wearing shorts.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Lambert was asked to look at a photo lineup to
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: see if she recognized any of the men the woman
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: was with. She did. She was very clear that one
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: of the men she saw was Rob Holman.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe Mrs. Lambert is believable. Now the situation is, I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: worry about how was that lineup done? How many photographs
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: do they show? In other words, do they have a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: good old boy, Texan boy there with his baseball cap on?
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And then they had three Mexican photos next to him. Okay?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Those are the things I worry about.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: The way that the lineup was conducted, we don't know
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: anything about.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No, and that's crucial.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: But Mora can't be confident because there are no details
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: in the case file about how the lineup was done. Still,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Mora considers Deborah Lambert a missed opportunity to potentially solve
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Jennifer's murder.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: There's an open lead there that I feel was enclosed. Therefore,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: until that lead is closed, it's problematic to say, I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: gonna disregard what this woman saw and I'm still gonna
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: focus on Rob and James.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Rob Holman, on the advice of his attorney back then,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: declined to speak with the Texas Rangers. After working the
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: case for a year, they suspended their investigation. We wanted
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: to know why, but they wouldn't comment on an unsolved case.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: The conclusion to their report No physical evidence, specific cause
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of death, or credible witnesses link any particular person as
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: a suspect. No one can actually follow up with Deborah Lambert.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: She and her mother have both passed away. But Alyssa
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and Barry Wernick now cling to Lambert's story.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: In my mind, I always just believed that she got
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: in the truck with Rob, and it was just the
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: two of them.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: This changes everything. there are other people that know. There
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: are other people that could possibly speak up.
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: Now, knowing that there were two other people involved, oh, yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: there's renewed hope.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: The problem here, I suppose, is that Deborah Lambert's dead.
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: She's dead, but her interview isn't.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: She's alive.
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: You can see what she said.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Neither James Hamilton nor Rob Holman have ever been arrested
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: or charged with any crime related to Jennifer's murder. During
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: our reporting of this case, we made several attempts to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: contact both men. James, if this is your number, I'm
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: calling to follow up on a letter I sent you recently.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: We got no response.
• 39:03
  Speaker 11: This is Rob.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I can't take your call right now.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: We sent you a letter a couple of weeks ago.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: So on one of our trips to Texas, we went
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: to Rob Holman's home. How are you?
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Mr. Holman?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Jim Axelrod with CBS News.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: Will you talk to me if I turn that camera off?
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Holman told us off camera he never saw Jennifer that night,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: and he's been advised by his attorney not to talk
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to anyone. His attorney provided this statement to 48 Hours.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Robert Holman has neither been arrested nor charged with any
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: criminal conduct as it relates to this investigation. This notwithstanding, Mr.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Holman has, from the inception of the investigation, been treated
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: by law enforcement as a suspect.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Holman has maintained his innocence from the very beginning, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: his position has not wavered. With no resolution in sight,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: filmmaker Barry Wernick has a new plan. Barry wants to
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: raise $ 50, 000 under the theory that reward money could shake
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: someone loose.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: No shot. You can't put money out there in thinking
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: that that's going to create evidence for you.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Joe Mora said as much to the sheriff.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: This isn't a cold case. This is a frozen case.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It's done.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: It's over.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: If you have a prosecutor whose worth is weight, he
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: would never bring this case to trial. He has absolutely
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: nothing on this case.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: But Sheriff Mark Johnson is not giving up.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I want to solve the case. I want it solved,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: and I want it done right.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Neither is private eye Darrell Parker.
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: When Mr. Harris came to the sheriff's office and he
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: got me involved, I told him that I would get results,
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: and I can't put it down. Until I'm sure that
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: either the person is held accountable or I can't do
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: anything more, I have.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: To carry it. And if it takes another 15 years?
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: If it takes another 15 years.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: The sadness is we all have kids, we all have
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: family members, and I have a daughter. It's devastating to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: not know.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know how she was killed.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I wish I did.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: I want closure.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do everything I can to bring justice
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: for Jennifer.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: For my dad, he needs to see some justice done.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: To have walked in my shoes for the last 15
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: and a half years hadn't been easy. We miss her
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: every day. We miss Jennifer not being here. I still
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: have high hopes that justice will prevail.
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
