Physical evidence. It was the kind of evidence no detective likes but one detective lived for. Heres keith morrison. The game is called mousetrap. The little ball on its track, the tiny mice which unless every lever works in unison will not be caught, and how often things go wrong to allow the mice to get away. So awed that what really happened could so eerily mimic a childrens game. These are the people it happened to. The jessee clan of california. They vacationed together, shared birthdays, even got together for a monthly game of ten pin. But what these grainy home videos dont show is what is yet to come. Which is murder, conspiracy. One branch of the family against the other. A game so twisted, mice so clever, that crafting a trap to catch them might just be impossible. To begin with, it was 1998. Shakespeare in love won the oscar. Monica lewinsky was freshly famous. It was a sweltering august night, hottest of the year, when cheryl got a strange call from her dad jack jesse. I was getting ready for bed and it was my dad on the phone. What time was this . It was 20 after 9 00. He was worried about his wife sandra. She was missing. What did he think had happened . He just thought maybe she had gotten in an accident or something. She had run to this nearby mall to run an errand but was gone so long. Would cheryl please find her, asked her dad. Went through there, burger king, walmart, and supposed to be back. And when she went back into her dads house, she found one of the worst sights id ever seen in my life, lying face down in a pool of blood. It was horrible. What did you think had happened there . I thought he had fallen because he had a gash on the back of his head. I went to the kitchen and called 911. But when she rolled him over, she could see stab wounds all over his chest. He had been stabbed 19 times. Every time i did cpr into him, i could hear bubbling and heiress scaping, and then i could feel it on his chest. Its not often this town has a murder. It was about 10 00 at night i got the call. At the time darryn wyatt was the towns sole detective. What did the crime scene look like . It was bloody. There was an apparent attack between jack and his killer. The type if it was a home invasion, assault . Or between people who knew each other. Look first at who reported the crime, which was his daughter cheryl. The daughter, we had to look at her as a potential suspect. She was the one who found him. Back at the stage wyatt interviewed all of sheryls relatives. She hadnt been missing at all. Was out on a shopping trip. Mrs. Jessee came to the station with us said she wanted to help solve the murder of her husband. And she told him about life with jack, married 14 years, blended family, four kids between them. Jessee clan, she said. A teddy bear of a man, well liked, well to do. Jack was a very, very loving person who doted on his children, doted on his step children, doted on his grandchildren. But jack was ill, housebound after colon cancer surgery. Sandra told the detective she had been running a bit of a Mercy Mission for jack and dawdled a bit too long at the mall. She was very, very specific about where she had gone, what times and why she had gone there. As for cheryl, she told detectives shed do anything to find out what happened to her dad in those 15 minutes she was away from the house. Her actions were very, very consistent with somebody who understands the police are looking at me right now, i know i didnt do anything, im going to do everything i can to give full disclosure. And then the day after the jack jesse murder, a guy walked into a bar, sat down on the bar stool, and told the bartender a story about how the murder happened, about who did it, about what withe motive was, th whole story. But, of course, that was just a story in a bar. Detective wyatt didnt hear anything about it. As he continued to dig for clues, he hit an unexpected wall. Sandra announced she had now helped as much as she could. She was done. I was referred to her attorney, and she refused to meet with us again. Same thing happened with sandras kids, jacks step children, while jacks blood relations practically begged to help solve the case. So what happened to that Big Happy Family in the video . A mirage, perhaps . In fact, living with sandra said jacks daughter was like a fairy tale its too late now. The kind written by the brothers grimm. She wanted me gone. He was a big mamas boy to the point of being strange. Very weird. Very weird. Weird thing to watch. They were always walking into the other room and closing the door. Yeah. Though jack seemed quite happy with sandra until the spring of 98, that is, just a few months before the murder when jack was diagnosed with colon cancer. A shock, of course. But one of two shocks for sandra. And to those around her, the second seemed somehow worse. Her beloved son tom up and moved to arizona. And she was flipping out yeah. She had to go there. She demanded jack move to arizona too. That woman was off her rocker. Her tone was just scary. I never even its like somebody elses voice out of her. But surely that wasnt motive enough for murder. And with plenty of suspicion with little else to go on, wyatt spent months poring over sarn draw and jacks phone records, bank statement, credit card bills, searching for well, he didnt know exactly what he was searching for, but he was getting basically nowhere. Pattern that was suspicious. Then as wyatts investigatio nowhere. Pattern that was suspicious. Then as wyatts investigatio getting basically nowhere. Pattern that was suspicious. Then as wyatts investigathe nowhere. Pattern that was suspicious. Then as wyatts investigation sputtered, sandra left. Sold jacks house here in california, moved to arizona to be near her son tom. And soon her daughter followed too. And they all lived within a couple of blocks of each other in homes sandra helped purchase with jacks insurance money and savings. When everything was said and done, she got close to 700,000. And as the months slipped past, leads failed to connect, and the investigation hit one dead end after another, and wyatt was promoted out of homicide. The case bounced from the p. D. To the Orange CountySheriffs Department where before long it became a case to avoid. Killer. Until five years after his brothers murder when david jessee met a detective named tom dove who said hed picked up the case. I said, oh, really . I said, thats a great. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. What are you going to do . You going to get the case for three, four, five months and then move up . Become a sergeant or something and move on . And tom said to me, listen, buddy. Nobody likes me in my department. He said, im not going nowhere. He says i got five years to put in your brothers case and then i retire and im out of here. He said, but ill give it my all. I will give everything to this case that i have. I looked over at him, and i said youre the man. What david didnt know but clearly sensed was that detective tom dove was the real deal, a legendary law man who seemed to have stepped out of his own prime time drama. There wasnt a whole lot to go on. There wasnt a lot of physical evidence, no eyewitnesses. In other words, the perfect challenge. Correct. When we come back, that bartender with the wher who liked to talk . Now he talked too. This person has specific details unknown to the general public. Not only that, hes naming names. When deadly conspiracy after five years and a string of homicide detectives, the jack jessee murder case had become a game to avoid, and then one day the whole impossible business was handed off to tom dove. I cant tell you how many times that i thought just move on. Give up. Move on. There was no hope of any new evidence, of course, like fingerprints or dna. There was just the infuriating puzzle, which had become more difficult with each passing year. After i reviewed the case, i had no feeling for the family. No feeling for jack jessee. So to get his head in the game, dove met with people closest to jack like his brother david. And when i met with david, he inspired me. His determination not to let the love for his brother go was a big motivating factor. But david also had some provocative information, something jack told him after arguing with sandra after moving to arizona. If anything ever happens to me, its her. Not the only time jack said such a thing, it turns out. He actually told me i wouldnt be surprised if the bitch killed me. He said that. So dove picked through all the original files hoping he might come across something he overlooked, and buried inside he found this, a simple twopage report apparently unred by aad detective. Remember the guy who walked into the bar, the one who told a story about the jessee murder . Well, years later when the case went cold, the bartender decided to call the pla senn cha cops and they stick it in the file where it was unseen until tom dove came along. Two things caught my mind when i read it. One, whoever the caller is knew how many stab wounds were involved. And, two, the caller state thad the person had used a back door or a window to enter the residence that night. That was significant in that this person had specific details unknown to the general public about the murder of jack jessee. Most of the tipsters information was frustratingly vague like a riddle, yet another game to be played. There were two killers, though he had no names. One had a knife, the other had the getaway car. Both worked at a Big Box Department store. The man who told the story in the bar that day had been the driver of the car, and with the blood money, he bought a truck and a sea doo. But when it came to who was behind the plot, thats when they named named. They were sandras son under the direction of the master mind herself, jacks wife sandra. So with that new perspective on the case, doug revisited sandras old interview, the hours of mostly useless chatter. How many times did you listen to that . At least ten times. And then it jumped out at him. Right about here on the tape, sandra is going through slips of paper in her day planner. She looks at one and says this is my sons friend. Listen to it again. This is my sons friend. This is my sons friend. One phrase in hours of material, but it got doves mind racing. If the bartender was right that it was a friend of her sons, would that slip of paper hold the key to the case . He dug through papers and there it was. The day planner seized five years earlier just after the murder. I went through that day planner for probably a day or more. Went through every scratch, piece of paper, notation, everything that was put into place in that day planner was looked at. There was a small piece of note paper with the name which appeared to me at that time to say schreiber with no telephone number or no significance to it. It said schrauber. Thats it. Thats all it said . I thought so, yes. But where we he find this schrauber. Unearthed one more clue when asked about the friend, sandra said the boys were once work buddies. They work together. So detective dove crisscrossed Southern California searching through the employment records of every target store for a guy named s krschrauber, nobody had ever heard of him. We were starting to come to the end of our rope. Dead end. That was about the time jacks daughter cheryl said she was getting strange packages in the mail from sandra. Like what . Bowling bags and ashtrays. Just a bunch of weird junk. It kept coming. Hatred more than i had before. Sandra seemed to be telling them shed beaten them, got away with it, won the game. We said are we cursed . Is there something with this case and its not going to be solved . Its frustrating for him to put all this work in and these people might literally get away with murder . Patty is toms wife. Theyve been together since high school. Knows him better than anyone. She was used to his compulsive perfectionism. Its comforting to me, i think, to know where things are and where were going. His nothingoutofplace sense of order. Hes a very stubborn man, so for him to take a case, hes going do it and solve it. And so detective dove decided to start over, take a different approach this time. He immersed himself in sandras old phone bills seized by detective wyatt years before. What i did is i went through every telephone call on those phone records looking for somebody related to this case. There had to be some communication. Get anywhere . Yeah. What dove found that had been overlooked before was a cluster of called not long before the murder, calls close to each other, within minutes of each other. One was to a target store, one was to a pager, and one was a boarding house. He called that last number and if anybody there knew a guy named schrauber. And the landlady said, nope, but there was once a tenant named schrauben. Could he be the man the detective was looking for. It was schrauben, not schrauber. So he tracked him down. And in the driveway was a pickup truck and the sea doo. Just what the bartender said. This was a huge break for us. We now had a name of somebody involved in jack jessees murder. Coming up often people throw away valuable evidence. Detective dove finds treasure in trash. This is too good to be true. When dateline continues. [ bell ringing ] in a world where there is so much to see theres still no other place that i would rather, rather rather, rather be [ male announcer ] dip into sabra hummus and discover a little taste of the world. Enjoy sabra dips. Adventure awaits. The jack jessee investigation had been six years of dead ends, bad breaks, blind alleys. Now on the trail of a suspect, tom dove was about to start a new game. One where he could write the rule book. But it would be very complicated because dove wanted more than just a get away driver, bret schrauben. He wanted the murderer. The only way to tie them together was to do a wiretap. But wiretaps are notoriously difficult to get. Dove needed permission from a judge, and in order to do that, he needed to prove schrauben was still in contact with tom and toms mother sandra. It was a catch22. So time to get creative. It had been my experience when i worked in the narcotics section of the department that often people throw away valuable evidence. Dove asked his fellow detectives to help him because he decided to search schraubens garbage. So what did they tell you when you came up with that idea . Youre crazy . I think their first idea was im really losing it now, wanting to dig through someones trash. So faithfully once a week he got off at daybreak and made the hourlong journey to schraubens home. Then they would dump it in a nearby parking lot. We would have the truck dump the trash in a somehow of a pile here regardless of the size. Right on the tarmac. Right on the tarmac, scatter everything out. Open every bag. Get down on our hands and knees and slowly sift through every piece of paper that looked like it might be a document of some kind. And thats how doves team found this coffeestained phone bill, showing call after call from schrauben to zrans son tom in arizona. And that number, toms number popped up how often would that pop up . I think the average we figured out was about 24 times in a billing cycle. About a month. So almost every day. So every day to every other day, yeah. It was almost like going to a crime scene and finding pieces of evidence. Its an excitement that you realize this is going to work. We are going to find what were looking for. But there was yet again a problem. Schraubens phone was in someone elses name. And to get a wiretap, dove would have to prove schrauben was the primary user. So how would he do that . What we ended up having to do was literally follow bret schrauben around until we saw him on his telephone. We took that even further in that i went into the target store that he was working at one day. I noticed he was stocking shelves in a certain section of the store, so i started randomly picking up items and looking interested. At that point i called on my phone to one of my other investigators. I said put a call in now to the phone. I heard him answer the phone. I was able to say that was his phone. He talks on it. We put the phone in his hand. But as they continued to sift through trash week after week, they found something even more important than the phone bill. Something quite unexpected. This day planner. From the years 96, 97, and 1998. What were the chances of that . Here six years later was the day planner for 1998, the year jack jessee was murdered, tossed in schraubers garbage. A treasure we didnt expect to find, but what that day planner did was connected all the people back in 1998 that were associated with bret schrauben. Whatd you think . This is too good to be true. I thought good things were going to happen. Somebodys back on our side again. And with this evidence, dove was able to get a judge to approve a wiretap on bret schraubens phone. Then as he waited for it to go into effect, he kept going through the trash. Maybe hed find something more. And, indeed, he did. And it turned the case upside down. He found rental listings in arizona. Bret schrauben was moving out of the state, would be gone before the wiretap ruling took effect. And in arizona, a california warrant was worthless. This completely took all that work and were talking probably six months of work and just threw it out the window. The killers had slipped the trap. Game over. When we come back, detectives build a new and better mousetrap. And guess who takes the bait . Its me. You need to [ bleep ] call me asap. When deadly conspiracy continues. Relentless police work, tom doves investigation of the murder of jack jessee had generated enough evidence to fill this mail cart. All apparently for naught. The suspect and his key to cracking the case had skipped the state and his jurs dikz. We were so close. He had beaten detective doves jurs dikz. The jessee family sensed dove had been beaten and Sandra Jessee had won. Got away with murder. I put his pictures away. It was tough. He was so fantastic. Put his pictures away. I had to. Couldnt look at him. I couldnt look at him. At the dove home, toms wife patty began to worry about her husbands health. He tends to hold things in. And you cant hold in that kind of frustration and emotion without it affecting you. With that kind of stress, it takes a toll on him physically an m and mentally. Thats what you worry about . Exactly. Because she knew if he didnt solve the jessee case, he might die trying. Hes like a dog with a bone. Hes going to take it and do it until it gets done. Dove was not alone, mind you. There was a prosecutor, too, who shared his dogged position. Michael murray who wanted Sandra Jessee and her group as bad as dove. This was full of obstacles. It probably would have been forgivable to let it go at that stage. Maybe to some people. Some would call it a legal long shot. They flew to phoenix, presented their evidence to the state attorney general and pleaded for a wiretap warrant. And they got it. The game was back on if they could make it work. We were going to try to set a trap for three people and keep track of those three people. And i wasnt sure if it was going to work or not. If it didnt in the back of my mind, i gave it probably a 30 chance of success. But youre giving yourself a 70 chance of being a goat at the end of the day. It had to be perfect. We were only going to get one try. So tom began to compile a team of investigators. Even called darren wyatt, the first detective on the case, to see if the placentia p. D. Wanted in. I said let me fall at your feet. I said, loorks this is going to be good. The phoenix p. D. Also provided scores of officers. By game day he had close to a hundred cops working the case. Im reminded of that mouse trap game you play when you were a kid. This huge ball bearing was going to have to go through a tremendous amount of obstacles that were thrown together in order to lower the trap and catch the mouse. And anywhere long the the line there could be a snag. There could be something we hadnt planned for that could throw this ball completely off the board. Okay. So what was the plan . What was the nature of your trap, of your mouse trap . We believed that if we did something to get these people uptight, if we were a i believe to rattle the tree, put fear in them that maybe the police were on the them, that they would talk about the murder of jack jessee. So what was the piece of cheese you put into that trap . We mailed a simple copy of the newspaper article when jack jessee was murdered anonymously to Sandra Jessee, tom aehlert and bret schrauben. The significance of that was they didnt know we knew about bret schrauben. Theyre going to know somethings up. And sure enough, as soon as tom heard bret got an anonymous letter, he called his mother sandra. Whoever was sending out all that grab sent one to bret too. Give me a break. Really. Youre kidding me. No. I would not kid about Something Like that. They sent one to bret. Yeah. Why would they send one to bret . Why would they even i have no clue. Next they started poking brets friends in california who, of course, called bret. Leave your name and number and ill get back to you. Hey, dude. Its me. You need to [ bleep ] call me asap. This is no [ bleep ] joke. Some guy from the sheriff Orange CountySheriffs Department, Homicide Division, was calling me asking about you. Bret in turn called tom. Hello . Hello. Tom . Yeah, hey. Whats up. Yeah. I just got a call from scott. The Orange CountyHomicide Division called scotts answering machine and wants to talk to him about me. About you . Yeah. What are you on right now . Im on my cell phone. Are you comfortable or no . No. That little mousetrap ball was making its way through the maze. But after a few days of the game, sandra, tom, and bret began to wonder if they were getting played, suspected their phones were tapped, maybe their houses bugged. I want to talk for a couple seconds. Id rather just pick you up and go back to the church or something. The church . Just somewhere outside. Okay. Away from your place or my place. Okay. And not on a cell phone. Okay. Okay. When would you have time . Now. And so they started meeting in shopping centers. We decided to put surveillance teams on each of the individuals, Sandra Jessee, tom aehlert, and bret schrauben. During the duration of the wiretap to catch something they may not do while that may not be normal while the wiretap was in place. Theyd stand shoulder to shoulder in a parking lot watching out the parking lot and not looking at each other. There it was like a scene from some mafia movie. The suspects out of range of recording devices apparently deep in conversation as they peered into the parking lot. I think the photographs of tom aehlert and Sandra Jessee were worth a million into how far they would go to conceal what they had done. In their minds they had thought they had got away with the perfect crime. He would go back to pressure schraubens friends for information. He was, of course, relentless. Chased down anybody who knew the man. Followed one tip to another. Until dove finally encountered the man hed been hunting for years. The bartender who called in the anonymous tip years earlier. And the first words out of my mouth were, hi, mike, im here about bret. And his face went completely flush, and he said, i knew you were going to find me sooner or later. What story did he tell you . That for some reason schrauben had told specific details of the murder of jack jessee including his involvent, which was a huge, huge quantum leap for us in putting this case to rest. Now the time had come to spring the trap. Bret schrauben was arrested and soon thereafter Sandra Jessee herself was in handcuffs. Finally to be held accountable for jack jessees murder. That was wonderful. Best threeday weekend i had. Oh, me too. That was a pretty good day. Didnt last. For one thing, tom was not arrested. Insufficient evidence, said the prosecutor. And then as he rolled out the case against the others, that little ball came off the track again. This time it happened at sandras preliminary hearing. The judge ruled there wasnt enough evidence to hold her. She was free to go. I sobbed all the way back home. I dont know how i made it back to marietta. Only bret schrauben was to face a murder trial. It was the summer of 2006, eight years after the death of jack jessees murder. And justice . Not yet, if ever. Coming up, finally the break detectives had been waiting for. She wanted jack dead. The information that he provided would blow the case wide open. Until something slammed it fjooirksz replaced by a plate. Put one half fruits and vegetables, and the other side, lean protein and grains, and put that lowfat dairy on the side. Good nutrition starts here the more you know. After month can do a lot to alter a persons take on the world. Even more so if the inmate is looking at a possible life sentence. And thats when bret schrauben had an epiphany. Just days before his murder trial was to begin, he said he was finally willing to testify against tom and sandra. But he wanted out. Now. The deal had to be for time served or nothing at all. Whatd you think when you heard what he wanted in order to get his cooperation . I thought it was outrageous. But its not a perfect world. And the people who are likely to have some of the best, most detailed information about what takes place inside a conspiracy is a cocon spir sore. We needed bret schrauben. So what was the story . The story was a pretty detailed and amazing story. Schrauben described the whole affair on tape. An at laid it out in all its chilling detail. Anatomy of a murder. The conspiracy was launched, he said, with a phone call from tom. He told me his mom would give 50,000 to kill his dad. She gave him a 5,000 deposit. She wanted jack dead and done at the house and to look like a robbery. She told me she would leave for x amount of time and thats when it needed to be done. Bret said he hired his good friend t. J. Garrick to be the getaway driver. And while she was getting her nails done, they drove to the house to murder jack. I was already having cold feet on the way there. By the time i was down the street i was really having cold feet. I got in the house, standing in the garage now. And i put on rubber gloves and reached inside the door and shut it. I was chicken. I couldnt do it. I went back to the car. I told t. J. That the door was locked so that way it wouldnt look like i had chickened out. I called tom and i told tom. I said the doors locked. And he said he would call his mom and get back to me. And according to schrauben, tom called back within minutes with a backup plan. He told me that his mom was going to go out that night and that it needed to happen tonight because his mom cant take it anymore. And he said if we didnt do it tonight, she was going to do it. I said i wouldnt do it. And t. J. Said he would do it if i drove. So they returned that night about 9 00. Schrauben said he dropped t. J. Off at the house and drove around the neighborhood while t. J. Snuck inside and stabbed jack jessie to death. We had walkietalkies. Afterward he called when he was done and told him to pick him up. So im turning to go back. He had a little blood on his legs. We looked for a place to clean himself up. I believe there was a del taco place. There he went inside to clean himself up. The information he provided, if we could corroborate what he said, would blow the case wide open. T. J. Garrick was questioned and denied everything. Other than schraubens statement, there wasnt enough evidence to hold him. So he was allowed to walk. And investigators focused on building their case against tom and sandra by documenting money transfers, phone calls, air travel. So when you add all that together, whatd you think . I thought we were starting to put together a pretty good case. Good enough that murray had tom and sandra arrested. And in the summer of 2009, 11 years after the murder, the mother and son team went on trial for the murder of jack jessee. Going to court was like going to my dads funeral every day. It really was. Youre around people that you know killed your dad. It was a ridiculous feeling. You cant even put it into words. Just soulwrenching. Schrauben testified against them. In court it was argued sandra had a variety of motives for killing jack. She wanted his money before medical bills ate up their savings. And she couldnt bear being away from her son tom. Do you think the case had gone well . I thought the case had gone extremely well. Except once again that little ball came off the track. What happened . Coming up, the story of a murder caught on tape. When deadly conspiracy continues. When the jury went into seclusion to deliberate, the jessee family thought justice was just hours away. But as the sun set on the courthouse, nothing. No word. Same thing again next day. And the day after that. The problem . There was a holdout. It got very heated. Yes. In the deliberation room. These members of the jury told us 11 voted for conviction. But there was one lone juror who felt some level of compassion for sandra. She related to the Sandra Jessee concern that jack jessees illness would eat up their nest egg. I felt like she was enjoying the control she had. There was nothing. Nothing we could do or say. People were getting so heated and there was so much anger that she started to shut down even more. And that scene played out for three and a half days until the judge said enough and declared a mistrial. I was in tears. I was too. And thinking of the family and what theyve gone through. That was heartache. Just heartache. Mmhmm. I thought i was going to pass out. Yeah. It was horrible. It was just like it happened all over again. That one juror, you know, i saw her. I went and talked to her. What did you say . I said she was an idiot. It was certainly difficult for me. It was far more difficult for the family. Murray promised the family justice. Spent two years putting a new case together. And just weeks before trial, he got a call. It was from toms attorney saying his client was ready to cut the Apron Strings and testify against his mom. Theres no way that we ever suspected that tom aehlert would ever turn on his mother. He was known to be a mamas boy. But a mamas boy who decided he didnt want to die in prison. Tom pleaded guilty to Second Degree murder, got 15 to life. Besides helping connect the crime to his mother, he had somebody else he wanted to give up. T. J. Garrick the alleged stabber. He claimed at a party in 2004 he told him how he murdered his stepfather jack jessee, and on tape tom repeated to murray and the detectives the gruesome detail. He saw jack at the front window. He turned around. He headed toward jack real quick. Jack made a comment to him wanting to know who the hell he was. Jack came at him, threw the phone at him. And t. J. , he said the phone hit him. And that he tried to take a swing at jack with the knife. And jack had his hands up. Remember, jack jessee was frail recovering from colon surgery and not expected to fight back. And they fought. He said jack was a lot stronger than he was supposed to be and at first he didnt think he was going to be able to get jack down to the ground. Said he had to stab him a couple of times in the chest before he was able to at least get him to where he could at least control him and take him to the ground, but jack was still breathing. He was lying face down. He said the last thing he did was stabbed jack in the back. Toms statement was Strong Enough to get t. J. Garrick arrested. Hes in custody now, insists hes innocent, and waits for a trial that may be years away. But sandra, her case went to court one month after her son went states evidence. The question was would a jury believe toms story. And as the jury deliberated and the family waited, there was no euphoria. They knew from bitter experience that anything could happen. Its a lot harder this time not knowing whats going to happen. On the second day, they got word. The jury had the verdict. My stomachs in knots. Yeah, im shaking. Were just very nervous at this moment. 13 years after jack jessees murder, Sandra Jessee was found guilty. And finally that little ball stayed on its track. The key mouse was caught. I hope that she rots in hell. I just really do. Im glad it wasnt the death penalty. I want her to stay there and suffer with all the other miserable people that go to prison. Whats it feel like to get justice finally . Oh, it feels good. It feels good, but not complete. Not complete. Lost a guy. The nicest guy i ever met. And for tom dove, hes now retired from the Sheriffs Department, and at his going away party, his fellow detectives gave him this. It honors his commitment to the jessee case. It means more to me than any other plaque or award ive ever received in my life. And in retirement tom says he hopes to set up a shelter for stray dogs. The urge to rescue runs deep. Thats all for now. Im lester holt. Thanks for joining us
