A. He said he couldnt handle talking about it. I was angry at him. If you arent going to tell me what happened, then youre going to dance around the issue and tell three different stories. It started as a teen romance. Two of my girlfriends were like, theres this guy and you need to meet him. I was in love, yes. It ended in one of the strangest love stories youll ever hear. It felt like i got hit by a bus. Right before their wedding, her mother and his father got married. They told us, we ran off, we eloped. Who does that . Two families in a small town left stunned. But it was nothing compared to what happened next. He looks like hes been shot. He said someone broke in last night. A deadly attack in the dark of night. Her mother murdered. I realized that last conversation i had with her, that was it. His father bruised and bewildered. I dont remember anything else other than waking up in the morning. Was it a robbery . The television was gone. Was it revenge . Youre always going to look at the closest people to the victim. Or was it something much darker. You were 11 years old when your mother disappeared . A missing woman, a murdered woman, and a lie. I didnt get through more than a page and a half and i threw it. I could barely stomach to finish it. Im lester holt. And this is dateline. Heres Keith Morrison with tangled. You cant put words to that. It was very surreal. 911. Where is your emergency . Reporter its true the old saying when you marry someone, you marry their family, too. We need an ambulance. He looks like hes been shot, he said someone broke in last night, him and his wife both reporter mind you, not a bad thing to turn to mom or dad for advice and counsel. Its unreal. Its hard. Sometimes you think maybe it didnt happen, but yet it really did. Reporter its with their help and support, after all, that true love can deepen and grow and last. I watch the crime scene shows on tv, you know. And i never, never ever thought that, oh, thats going to be my life. Reporter yes. It really is all about family. The high desert opens up near pueb pueblo, colorado, 100 miles south or so south of denver. Among the highest of the nations deserts. A little closer to heaven, perhaps . This is where shannon palmers mom and dad set out to create a good, safe and holy life for their daughters far from the risks and temptations of the city. It was awesome. Got to grow up with horses and dogs everywhere and chickens and 40 acres to run around on. Reporter shannon and her sister kelsey went to school right at home. Their mother, pam, devoutly jehovahs witness, was their teacher. I loved it. I dont think that i missed out on any aspect of my education. Reporter there were strict guidelines, of course, about beliefs, family, marriage, sex. There were no birthday or holiday celebrations, and they learned that members who commit adultery or who divorce, can be cast out, shunned. Shannon and kelseys dad gerry didnt share the faith but he respected pams, though he was never a real fan of the home schooling. He wanted them to go to public school, but pam wouldnt have it. She always wanted us to be this tall and be her little girls. You know, she very genuinely loved us, and we were her world. Reporter well, you were her reason to be. Yes. Oh, yeah. Reporter but finally when it was time for high school, pam relented. I think she realized that you cant control an environment for a child forever, though. Reporter what was it like to make the transition . It was a culture shock. It was, it was different. I was there maybe a week and my new friends were like, lets educate you on the ways of the world. I was like, oh, my gosh. Reporter which, of course, included boys. Two of my girlfriends were like, theres this guy and you need to meet him. I think you two would just really get along. Im like, oh, great. Reporter the guy was aaron candelario. And before long i was in love. Yes. I was very much in love. You know, we had such a connection. Reporter no kidding. Both jehovahs witnesses, both home schooled by their mothers. Or at least, aaron was home schooled until his parents marriage broke up. We were so drawn to each other that two people were so were so driven and so optimistic and just wanted to do big things in life. Reporter so, after high school they got engaged and, full of excitement, planned a wedding. And then one night, shannons mother pam sent the girls off to bible study and told their father gerry they needed to talk. She looked up and says, i dont want to be married to you anymore. I dont want to be here. Reporter everything was fine, fine, fine, fine and then boom. We seemed to be getting along. Everything was fine and she said, this is it. Im done. Reporter what did that feel like . Oh, it was a crush. You were crushed. Reporter what happened . No one knew. Except that now these two had one more thing in common, both products of broken homes. The wedding day approached, just a few days to go, when shannons mother pam and aarons dad ralph invited the bride and groomtobe for dinner and a talk. Ralph was every bit as devout a believer as pam, so some premarital guidance perhapses . Oh, no. Nothing like that. They told us, we ran off. We eloped and got married. Reporter wait, what . Your mother and aarons father. Yes. Reporter who does that . Yeah. I dont know. But i cant tell you how much it felt like i got hit by a bus. Reporter you know what that meant . It meant that by the time you got married you were marrying your stepbrother. Right. I didnt say much. I was just like, well, were leaving. Reporter and suddenly gerry realized how blind hed been. You didnt understand, but then afterwards it all all the pieces fell into place. Reporter you were never suspicious . I trusted her. Dont we do that in a relationship . Reporter no trust now. Shannon and aaron were furious. Told the elopers, interlopers more like, stay away from the wedding. But they couldnt pretend it hadnt happened. And when they hit the little bumps most young marriages encounter, it colored everything. Did your father and her mothers relationship have anything to do with what happened to you and shannon . You know, we were pretty determined not to let their relationship have an effect. But, you know, its always something thats in the back of your head. Reporter after a year and a half shannon and aaron divorced. Pam and ralphs marriage, on the other hand, thrived. They moved into a big house on a corner lot in walsenburg, an old coal mining town about 50 miles south of pueblo. They opened up an antiques mall in the center of town, then bought a Vacation Home in oregon. That was the happiest i ever remember seeing her. Reporter for nearly three years, shannon, still hurt, rarely spoke to her mom. But then one day, pam asked her to lunch. She was so focused on wanting me to know that we had a future together, her and i. Reporter wow. So finally she was coming around on her own accord. It felt like it. Yeah. When i told her, i said, i cant handle you being my mother and doing what you did, but i want to be your friend and i want the try this. Reporter so this is a breakthrough lunch really. It seemed at the time. A breakthrough lunch. Yeah. Reporter or, a beginning, at least. And then just a few days later. I was at work. And i see aarons name come up on my phone. So hes like, you know what . Somethings happened in walsenburg. My dads being rushed to the hospital and they cant find your mom, he said, but i think someones dead. Who was dead . And was a killer on the loose in a small town . When we return hes crying and he keeps telling me go help her in the kitchen. A family in shock and an exhusband under suspicion.

Jeff 11pm close tonight at 11 on nbc bay area news. 7 00 a. M. , january 16th, 2014. A cold morning in walsenburg, colorado. 911, where is your emergency . Reporter ralph and pam candelarios neighbor had been on her way to work. We need an ambulance. Reporter Fahry Trujillo had never encountered anything like this before. I looked over, and he was saying, help me, help me. Reporter ralph was on the ground in front of his house hurt. I got to him and asked him if he needed help. And he seemed to be kind of out of it. Reporter finally, ralph managed to get the words out. He and his wife had been attacked and robbed. Fahry, afraid the attackers might still be in the house, called 911. He looks like hes been shot, he said someone broke in last night, him and his wife both. How are they doing . Hes not good. Hes crying and he keeps telling me go help her. Shes in the kitchen. Im going to get my neighbor to help me here. [ knocking ] ralph, were getting help for you, ralph. Okay . Reporter the police arrived, went into the house with guns drawn. And there at the entrance to the kitchen, still in her nightgown, lay pam candelario, her head covered in blood. I knew she was dead when the ambulance showed up because they didnt go into the house. They just stayed and were working on ralph. Reporter ralph wasnt shot, but haddy was hurt. And he was airlifted to the nearest trauma hospital. Walsenburg, as local reporter eric mullens knew, was not equipped to handle an investigation of this magnitude. You have small town departments with five, six, seven people, you dont have murder cops on staff. You dont have forensic professionals on staff. Reporter so by the time shannon arrived at the hospital looking for her mother an agent of the Colorado Bureau of investigation was there to meet her along with aaron. How did she take it . About as well as youd expect anybody, you know, to get hit by a sledgehammer, whatever. First, she was kind of shocked, then a little bit of denial. Then suddenly i realized that last conversation i had with her was that was it. Reporter no fresh start now. Her mother was dead. And then shannon saw ralph. And he lost it. He just turned into a sobbing, shaking maniac. Reporter ralphs face was banged up. He had bruises in several places. He was confused like a man coming out of a concussion. Just exhausted. And im just my head just still hurts. Reporter and then, soon as he was able, and still in his hospital clothes, ralph talked to agents of the cbi. Sorry to hear about your loss. Oh, its been a horrible day. Reporter best he could remember, said ralph, he got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, then decided to go downstairs to make sure the wood burning stove was still lit. But on his way to the bottom of thsteps, he said, somebody hit him from behind. And then again from the side. I put my arm up, and boom. I mean, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. It hit me hard, you know, and so i went backwards. The ringing. I couldnt see no more. Reporter ralph was knocked unconscious. I mean, i dont remember anything else other than waking up in the morning. Reporter then said ralph, still disoriented, he tried to sit up. I looked down the hallway. I could see pam, her legs. She was she was there. Reporter revealed by the first rays of a warm morning sun. Her head and her theres just blood over her and theres blood on the floor. I touched her cheek. And she was cold, cold, cold. And i ran out of the house. Reporter and that, said ralph, is when he saw his neighbor fahry and yelled for help. But who did it . Robbers or someone else . Normally, said Walsenburg Police captain vince suarez youre always going to look at the closest people to the victim. Reporter except, in this case, ralph was also a victim and clearly wanted to help find the killer or killers. Cbi agent jodi wright he was very cooperative, absolutely. Reporter so investigators turned their attention to the spurned exhusband, gerry palmer. Actually, the next day was when the investigators called me. Reporter it was no secret gerry and pam did not get along after the divorce. A divorce which, by the way, she asked him to file, since, as a jehovahs witness, she wasnt allowed to. And so then you filed for divorce. I filed for divorce. Reporter accommodating to the end. To the end. Reporter and now the police were calling. And i told them id be more than happy to talk to them. Reporter if they come up to nebraska. I said, if you got about six hours, you can be here to talk to me. Reporter nebraska. Gerry had moved far away which cleared him, for sure. Of course, theyd need to look at shannon and aaron, too, given their falling out with pam and ralph. But they were cleared almost immediately because reporter they were nowhere around. Yeah. They were not involved. Reporter dead end. The crime scene people did find some things, mind you. Including a bloody fireplace poker that turned out to be the murder weapon. The marking on her head was the exact replica of the shape of the fire poker, the end of the poker. Reporter they cataloged everything they found. Broken glass in the back door. They even took the knobs off drawers and sent them to the lab hoping the intruders left dna or fingerprints on them. And then, quite unexpected, something remarkable turned up, came right through the front door of the local newspaper. So what did you think when you first read that document . I felt i had my own little version of the pentagon papers in a way. Coming up a letter that has everyone in town talking. I remembered reading it and putting it down and thinking, no, it didnt say that. The result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves.

Its a grand name, perhaps, reporter so, no surprise, said the World Journals eric mullens, the invasion and killing at the candelarios place was a very big deal for the weekly paper and for the whole town. We didnt know who was out there. Reporter people like the candelarios neighbors dena and mark. I was afraid. I didnt even want to go to my paint class that i do in the evening, because i was afraid to be out. Reporter a lot of people got guns. A lot of neighbors told me, i went out and got a gun, you know . I want to protect myself. Reporter everybody knew the candelarios had a nice house filled with vintage treasures. Theres a Little Jewelry in here, guys, that pam kept. This is her dresser. Reporter some of which were missing, as ralph told the police during a videotaped tour. Well, the television is gone. Okay. Reporter the candalarios had been about leave on vacation so maybe the intruders thought they were gone and were surprised to find them at home. But who . A citizens tip supplied a possible lead. He brought up individual names that he believed that were involved in this homicide. Reporter ramon baros and jose ninajualpa, known drug users. Both had rap sheets, a history of breaking and entering and assault. One informant said ramon was trying to sell jewelry the day after the murder. So you have a responsibility to check into that . Yeah. Reporter pams daughter shannon found herself blaming ralph for not preventing what happened. I was angry at him. In my mind i was like, why didnt you protect my mother. Thats your role as her husband. Reporter and right about then the biggest scoop of eric mullens career landed right in the lap of the huerfano World Journal. Ive been in news since im 15 years old. Ive seen a lot of things walk in the newsroom. But i have never seen anything like this. Reporter in through the front door marched Ralph Candelario with an open letter to the whole town. It was him explaining what he could remember after he had been treated up in pueblo for his injury and interviewed by the cbi. Reporter this is my story and this is what happened. This is my story. And this is what happened to me reporter to whom it may concern he began. And were including his typos exactly as they appeared in his letter. His memory was coming back. He wanted to explain and maybe shannon was right, he felt guilty. I am angry at myself for not finding a way to do more or just getting myself killed, too. Now he wrote he had an image of who his attackers were. Reporter i got a glimpse of that person, a tall dark man with yellow glasses, short curly hair, wide nose, large lips and marks on the sides of his face. The tall guy was talking on the phone in spanish, he said. One of the two felons who tip the call . Its hard to know. But one of them knocked him out he wrote, and when he came to, there was pam. But not dead as he first told the police. It says here she was still alive. She started to convulse, and i held her hand for just a couple minutes and she just went quiet. I yelled at her again and just started crying, and then the two men returned. I just broke down. I was crying and i was cold and i was freaked out. Pam was there with me just a few feet away. Things took a turn for the worst, he wrote. Then he pointed his gun at me and fired. It just clicked. I cant fully say what happened to me at that point. In fact, he was so scared he said he soiled his pajamas. He wrote that his ordeal began after he and pam went to bed on tuesday night. Not wednesday as he originally thought. It lasted nearly two days. He woke up on thursday morning. I thought my nightmare was over, but i looked down the hall and i could see pams legs in the kitchen. Thats when he ran out of the house and found his neighbor, who called 911. Of course, the World Journal printed all that, though the police werent too happy about it. And eric mullens . I remember taking it home and reading it and putting it down and thinking, no, it didnt say that, and picking it back up again. Reporter but remarkable as ralphs letter was, it still wasnt the whole story. A few weeks after the murder, he mustered up the courage and told the police while he was held captive he had asked to go to the restroom and he was sexually assaulted in the bathroom. Reporter well, why didnt he say anything about that before . His explanation was that he was embarrassed. From my understanding, it might be a bit difficult to talk about but the smallest details could be very important so keep that in mind. Reporter ralph agreed to show the investigators exactly what happened. And where. And he grabbed me with the other hand on my hip right here and he proceeded to assault me. Reporter so that was the whole awful story. But if ralph thought that sharing his new, more detailed recollections would clear the air, he was wrong. What did you think when you saw it . I was pretty blown away by what was written. Coming up back at home with detectives, ralph gets his own surprise. What happened to all the knobs . He was very upset that they were missing. Well, i really dont understand why the knobs are gone. A better question why would he care . Shop kohls late friday and early saturday. And get tekgear for the whole family under 10. Tees under 10. And shorts and capris for the whole family under 20 plus, take an extra 15 percent or 20 percent off youll get kohls cash too kohls. Those are some good looking tomatoes. Yep. How long have you been growing them . For a couple months. Me too. Hey leonard, if weve been growing our tomatoes the same amount of time, why did your dirt grow more than my dirt . Because my dirts better than your dirt. Oh. Natures care organic potting mix produces more tomatoes than those other guys. Thats some good dirt. Ralph candelario appeared to sick. Reporter and angry, obviously . Yeah. Reporter her sister kelseys interpretation . I thought it was very strange. I thought that he had some work to do on a story because it sounded really phony. Reporter entitled to their opinions, of course. But then, so were the cops. Recovered memory . No, said the cbis jodi wright. More like a coverup. Nothing in his statement matched anything that i knew to be at the crime scene. It just didnt make sense, none of it. Reporter it wasnt really that ralph changed his story in his World Journal manifesto, not exactly. More like he kept adding to it. So he watches very carefully what youre doing and tailors his story absolutely. Reporter to match what he thinks youre finding. Yes. Reporter ralph kept explaining. Kept offering not less but more details. About, for example, the drawer pulls in his house, the ones investigators removed to test for fingerprints. In the event that one of the invasion persons touched them. Reporter now heres ralph with the police at his house just after pam was murdered. Noticing the missing knobs. What happened to all the knobs . He was very upset that they were missing. Well, i really dont understand why the knobs are gone. Reporter and he would know youre looking for fingerprints of these Home Invaders . Yes. Reporter but what if they didnt find any fingerprints besides his and pams . Well, in his letter, written a few days later, ralph provided a new detail that accounted for that possibility. All of a sudden now his attackers, he remembered that they wore gloves with l. E. D. Lights on them, which would explain why no one elses prints would be on the knobs of the drawers. Reporter you ever heard of gloves with l. E. D. Lights on . Well, we researched them. Because i had never heard of that. They do exist. Reporter in the letter ralph also changed the time of pams death. Backed it up by more than 24 hours. Why . Could that, perhaps, have been a response to this investigators challenge . She didnt die at 3 00 in the morning. Had to be earlier than that. And were going to know after today. Well know that. Okay. And thats going to come back to you. Okay. Reporter but that was when ralph reported that the invaders were in his house only a few hours. Now, in his letter, he remembered the ordeal lasting nearly two days. And do you remember we mentioned it a while back that broken glass in the back door . Thing was the glass fell out the door, not in, as youd expect it would do if somebody was breaking into the house. The police, of course, brought that up with ralph. And what did he write in his letter . I went out the back, and the rear door glass was broken. Some pieces fell out when i opened the door. Ralph even had answers to questions he wasnt asked, like why was the fireplace poker exactly where it belonged by the fireplace . Normally if you used a weapon, youre going to find it somewhere around where your victim is. Uhhuh. And it looked like the poker had been put back in its original place. Reporter heres what ralph wrote. I picked up the poker to stir up the fire. I saw blood on the end of it and put it down. So investigators studied ralphs manifesto for clues and, thanks to the huerfano World Journal, so did everybody else in town. Neighbors like mike and dena. It sounded like a novel to me. A bizarre one, at that. Reporter shannon, who had been angry at ralph for not protecting her mother, read the letter and began to have thoughts that were much more disturbing. I didnt get through more than page and a half and i threw it. And i was like, this is [ bleep ]. This is the worst. I could barely stomach to finish it. Reporter and aaron . Shannons exhusband . Ralphs son . Aaron went to a very dark place indeed. Oh, you have no idea. You were 11 years old when your mother disappeared. Yes. Coming up secrets in the basement. I had been going through some of my dads stuff in the basement. I found a box of stuff that supposedly she had taken with her.

And one day, after a weekend at his dads house, aaron went home to find there was just a note on the coffee table that was in kind of sketchy handwriting. But it, you know, nevertheless said, i love you, my boys, and im taking off. Reporter his mother dena was simply gone. Aaron was devastated. What did your father suggest may have happened to her . That she possibly had moved to missouri. A guy that she had been talking to online for quite some time, you know. Maybe she ran away to be with him. Reporter a missing persons case was opened, but nothing came of it. Aaron and his brother moved in with ralph fulltime. But aaron couldnt move on. She had to have left some trail somewhere. Barely a teenager, he taught himself every web search engine. Looked for years, but found no sign of his mom online. And a terrible suspicion took hold of him, hardened into Something Like certainty. His mother must be dead. His father must have done it. And after that, it became more of, okay, well where would he put her body . Reporter he was maybe 13 or 14 when he thought about his old coal mines around walsenburg. Did you actually go out and look . Oh yeah, oh yeah. I went through a lot of those mines myself. Reporter alone . Mmhmm. Reporter youre looking for the remains of your own mother. I cant imagine what that i cant explain it. Its always been there, that fire that just drives you to do something. Reporter and then one day i had been going through some of my dads stuff in the basement, and i found a box of stuff that supposedly she had taken with her. It was a denim jacket that her mother had given her, a passport, a drivers license, a cell phone were down there. Reporter wait a minute. What was that like . That was kind of the final straw. Reporter and naturally, if she was gone, she would have taken those things with her . Exactly. No, that was kind of the final piece of the puzzle. Reporter he left it there. Left the box in the basement, and emerged a changed person. Shannon told us aaron wouldnt talk much about his mother when they were married, but id find him up at night just over her stuff, just over papers and he just emotional. Reporter going through her papers . Just going through, like, her stuff, whatever little bit and pieces he had left of his mother. He couldnt even handle. Just it it wrecked him. Reporter and when aaron heard pam was dead . My First Response was how did he do it . Reporter and then he told the cops about his mother. Now you may have a serial killer on your hands, serial killer of spouses. Yeah. Something like that. That was the thought. Reporter two wives, one missing, the other dead. And the one thing they had in common was Ralph Candelario. But suspicion alone wasnt enough, wasnt proof. So the investigation continued. Yes. Reporter in an effort to shake him or maybe even get a confession, they sought help from the one person whose presence back at the hospital made ralph break down and cry, shannon. Cbi had me call him. Bugged my phone and tried to get him to tell me what happened. Reporter she must have been so nervous, by the way. She was terrified. It was probably one of the hardest things shes ever had to do. Ralph . Hey, this is shannon. Reporter but shannon did it. Ive been waking up having panic attacks. I cant deal with this. I want to know what happened. Can you tell me anything . Yeah, the only thing you know that i know is that a lot of stuff was stolen from the house. Okay. Reporter ralph stuck to his story. A deadly home invasion. And then i found her. Yeah. And thats you know yes. And i try to deal with that. Reporter shannon pressed ralph for details. The one guy that hit me that i saw from the front was taller than me. Okay. And he had a dark complexion. You know, he had marks on his face. Reporter and then, something that didnt sound quite right. And i dont know and thats and then i just saw him for, like, a split second. Reporter a split second . Remember in his letter ralph said his captors held him and abused him for nearly two days. In my mind, if youre not going to tell me what happened, and youre going to dance around the issue and tell three different stories, what are you hiding . Reporter investigators, wondering the same thing, tried to find answers in the evidence. On a laptop, they found hits for match. Com just days before the murder. So somebody had been visiting the site at least. That would have been our suspicion. Reporter well, its gt to be either pam or ralph . Right. Reporter and then they found ralphs real life mistress. Yes, he had one. And she said they carried on for most of the time he was married to pam. So now shannon thought back to the last time she saw her mother. Because i asked her if she was happy. Reporter so what did she say . She realized that she had given up her family because she had destroyed this relationship with me and kelsey. And shes gotten into this new marriage. Telling me that she just wasnt as happy as she should have been. Reporter lots of circumstantial evidence. Almost enough. Not quite. And then, the antique rugs. I was searching the kitchen area and found in the washing machine two smallsized rugs. And the rugs were still very wet. And they were balled up to one side. Reporter but when ralph saw the rugs during a walkthrough with police, he didnt seem to recognize them. I mean, ive never seen these rugs. The minute we heard hed never seen them, we knew the rugs had importance. We just didnt know how. Reporter they sent the rugs to the lab. And months later they heard back. What did you find when you tested them . Pams blood was found on the rugs. Reporter they had caught ralph in an obvious lie.
