Here they are, three people at the door. I just started sobbing. Theyd found her daughter. But not the boy she was with. It was as if hed never existed. We couldnt find anything about l. J. Months went by. Still no trace of l. J. And then a rookie took the case. Howd you feel about it, that this was now going to be your case . I didnt know if i was capable of doing this. I cried for two hours. A teen found dead. We still dont have an answer. A mysterious missing suspect. She said that l. J. Had killed someone before. And hers to solve. I get the feeling, jaclyn, youre learning how to become a detective as you go. This is the case that taught me. You have no surefire way to keep your children safe. Hello and welcome to dateline. Social worker veronica kasprazak made one of her toughest cases deeply personal when she decided to adopt annie. Over the years annie thrived but it turned out she was keeping a secret that was only discovered after her disappearance. Could a fake pregnancy really have been the motive for an all too real murder or had annie run into the wrong crowd . Heres Dennis Murphy with the girl with the red shoes. Reporter Veronica Kasprzak bratcher is a determined woman. Did someone ever say, you cant save them all, to you . My mother is probably the one that would say and still says that. But, yeah, i heard that a lot. Reporter she rarely listened, though. The desire to do good, to save a child was too strong. Though sometimes, in the quiet hours, she wonders if she did the right thing. If i wouldnt have picked that house. If i would have not taken a shower. If i would have done something else, she wouldnt have been in that situation. Reporter of course, no one could have known then that it would end up like this. Unified Police Department. I need to report a runaway. My daughter is missing. Reporter her daughter was anne grace kasprzak. Though when veronica first met annie, she wasnt a kasprzak at all. She wasnt even her daughter. She was a client, just 7 years old, with a rough childhood. Shed been through some abuse, and she had a hard time trusting other people. Reporter back in 2005, veronica was a case worker for utahs division of children and family services. Her job was to find homes for kids who no longer had one. Annie was one of those kids. Annie has kind of a largerthanlife personality. Whatever annie does, she never did small. If there was something she liked, she loved it and she was huge. If there was something she didnt like, it was big. And there was no question about it. Reporter drama came with it, huh . Oh, yes, oh, yes. Reporter veronica tried for years to find annie a stable home. But after annie had been flung back to the state nine times, veronica, young, naive and stubborn, made a surprising decision to adopt annie. Did your superiors tell you, you know, we dont do that, veronica . Oh, yes. Reporter dont cross that line. You have a professional relationship with this child. But dont bring her into your home. Well, and that was very true. And because at the time, i also happened to be about six months pregnant. And so im sure the thought was, okay, crazy pregnant lady. She doesnt know what shes doing. But it was very much, are you sure . You cant save everybody. Reporter but veronica was determined to try. She and her thenhusband dennis adopted 10yearold annie in january 2007. Annie, who had bounced around from house to house, finally had a home, parents and brothers who adored her. She was the immediate cool big sister. She liked being the oldest, being in charge and teaching them all of this cool stuff. Reporter she was wanted, happy, making memories. Opening gifts on christmas morning. Her first trip to the beach. Not that everything was perfect, mind you. There was still definitely a im going to test you. As much as you say you love me and youre keeping me, im going to make i dont believe you. How would she challenge you, for instance . Just the quintessential, im not going to do what you say. Im going to do whatever i want. Reporter so psychological tussle going on here . Uhhuh. Reporter which only intensified when annie entered her teen years. She was about as boy crazy as i could imagine. She always had a boy that she liked or that liked her. And it was never a, here, let me see. Its a, oh, im so in love with you. This is forever. I couldnt imagine anybody being more amazing. She was very all in. Reporter but annie was also into her education and her future. She wanted to be a therapist just like veronica. She even wanted her new family to adopt more kids. Well, what about this other girl, mom . Shes there. And shes really having a hard time. I think we should bring her home. It was reporter she was really becoming your daughter in a way, huh . Yeah. Reporter veronica eventually divorced and remarried. She and her new husband james settled here, in riverton, utah, a quiet suburb of salt lake city. Annie had james wrapped around her finger. I took her with me to help me pick out her mothers valentines day gift. And there was a shoe store right across the way. She had a way with me. She could talk me into just about anything. And one of them was her favorite shoes that she found. And she was so excited about them. And they were a red pair of shoes. Reporter just a few weeks later, march 10, 2012. Annie, now 15, was watching her brothers while veronica and james went out for dinner. And then when we came home, everything seemed the same. I mean, annie had changed from running around the house in shorts to jeans. And i just kind of chalked that up to, okay, shes gotten cold. And i had a massive headache i couldnt get rid of. So i went to take a shower. And annie had gone downstairs to her room to listen to music. And we just figured it was another saturday. Reporter but it wasnt. When veronica finished her shower, annie was gone. James searched her bedroom. The note was tucked underneath her blanket. And i grabbed it. And it just said, im sorry, mom, that i havent been totally honest with you. Reporter annie, it turned out, was keeping a secret. In the note, she wrote, i lied to my friends. I told them i was p. P. Veronica and james knew that stood for the word no teenagers parents want to hear, pregnant. Just a few months earlier, they had learned that annie had had sex for the first time. She had had sex, and so to annie she had assumed that, well, because weve had sex, i could be pregnant, or i am pregnant. Reporter but the pregnancy test was negative, and annie was now on birth control. Why would she lie about being p . Even more alarming was where annie said she was going. By the time you read this note, ill be on my way to california. Please dont try and look for me because i dont want to be found. The first thing we did is we called the police. And then the second person i called was chris. Reporter 14yearold Chris Bagshaw. Annie had brought him over to the house a few times. He was kind of quiet. I kind of took it as all right, im here with my girlfriends parents. And i want to make sure they dont kill me. Reporter was he in and out of the picture for her as the boyfriend of the moment . Uhhuh. Reporter his stock would rise and fall . Yep, she was crazy about him. Reporter chris told veronica he didnt know where annie was, but he did have some potentially significant information. Chris said annie told him she was running away with a guy named l. J. We were shocked. Because, i mean, we didnt know all of her friends because they changed a lot depending on who she was hanging out with at the moment. But it wasnt familiar at all. Reporter a Police Officer came and took a report. James, meanwhile, called up the gps function on annies cell phone. It put her around or about the golf course out in riverton and within a mile of that, which is around the bridge area. Reporter the bridge at the jordan river, just a couple miles from their home, a place joggers and horseback riders frequent during the day and young lovers at night. James, veronica and the officer watched as annies phone pinged across the computer screen in realtime. Youre watching her move. Yes. When it moved so fast, our immediate assumption was, okay, shes getting in a car. Reporter so this is a hot pursuit now, looking for your girl . Yep. Reporter and then the signal just stopped. Veronica drove to a walmart near where theyd tracked annies phone. And i have her picture on my cell phone. And im showing it to the people that are sitting at the front, the greeters, going, have you seen this girl . Reporter are you collected . Or are you a wreck while all this is going on . I am frantic. Reporter veronica went back home. She and james watched the front door. And they kept calling annie, but her phone went straight to voicemail. In the best of worlds, shes out with some young boyfriend you may or may not know, off on a lark of some kind. But itll come to an end. And youll get her back and regroup. Yeah, our worstCase Scenario at that point is, okay, shes going to come home pregnant. Reporter worst Case Scenario . Not even close. Coming up he had told us that l. J. Had driven by the house threatening chris. And a jogger makes a grim discovery. 911. What is the address of the emergency . Im at the river bottom. Theres a pool of blood. When dateline continues. Nus before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. Now no fruit is forbidden. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . March 11, 2012. Spring was still officially days away, but in draper, utah, its promise was clear. Morning dew on the brush. The crisp air. The sun rising over the wasatch mountains. It should have been a beautiful day. But for a jogger on the jordan River Parkway that morning, it was anything but. 911, what is the address of the emergency . You know, im not real sure. Im at the river bottom, and theres some pools of blood. And im guessing its just an animal, but in the water right by the river theres a shoe. Reporter sergeant Chad Carpenter was one of the first on the scene. We called the forensics out and it was able to tell us it was human blood. Human blood. Changes things. We had a human body in the water so we called the helicopter. The helicopter was in the air for just under an sergeant, when the divers pulled the victim out, what were the injuries that they observed to her face . She had a laceration here on her forehead. Her face was very swollen so we werent able to tell to what extent the injuries were. And we couldnt even identify who she was. Reporter their jane doe, dressed in a red and white plaid shirt, looked to be about 20 years old. Her features possibly asian. And obviously, she had been murdered. Leading the investigation was a young detective named Derek Johnson. Tell me about him. Right when he came into the academy he sat next to me and started teasing me. And the rest of the class time we just harassed each other and laughed and giggled all day. Reporter jaclyn moore met derek at the police academy. She and derek hit it off immediately. A detective spot opened and he got it and i didnt. Reporter now derek had caught his first case. Which was also the first homicide the small town of draper had seen in years. Someone called police just after 10 00 this morning to report they had come across a gruesome scene. Reporter by the time veronica and james saw the reports annie had been missing for nearly 20 hours. The information that its an asian woman in her 20s, i think, was the initial report. That would seem to rule out annie, certainly. Initially, we were thinking, no, thats not possible. Theres no way. Reporter but then, a detail sergeant carpenter shared with salt lake citys nbc affiliate ksl tv. There was a shoe found at the crime scene, and there was one on the body. Reporter a red shoe. The same kind james had bought annie for valentines day just weeks earlier. Veronica and james tried to stay calm. We called the police. And we said, hey, our daughters missing. I think logically i was going, theyre just going to rule it out. I just need them to rule it out. Reporter but they couldnt rule it out. After i called the police, i called my parents to come and pick up our boys. And i just started sobbing. Reporter police soon determined the 20something asian victim was really 15yearold Annie Kasprzak. She had been killed by Blunt Force Trauma to the head. Veronica and james had thought the rapid pinging of annies phone meant she was driving away. Now there was no hope offer ever coming home. So theres the very worst moment of your life at that point. Here they are, three people at the door. They confirmed that it was annie. I think we were in shock. We went into automatic, what do you need from us . Tell us what you want. You can have it. Look at anything. Reporter veronica told investigators what she learned from annies onagain offagain boyfriend Chris Bagshaw. That annie had run away with a boy named l. J. When you talked with l. J. , how did you talk to him . I talked to him once. Okay. Actually on the phone. Okay. Reporter police spoke to Chris Bagshaw and his father at their home. And when you talked to him on the phone, did he speak with an accent or did you notice anything distinctive about his voice . No. Reporter naturally, police also had to ask chris where he was. I was with my grandma. Okay. And at one point i did walk up to see if my friend can hang out, but he wasnt home. Okay. Reporter they went through the usual questions. When you walked to your friends, what did you have on . Just regular jeans and a tshirt and my red jacket. Just blue jeans . Yeah, blue jeans, nike shoes and a tshirt underneath. And he had his red hoodie on. Do you mind if we see your nikes . Yeah, sure. Reporter chris wanted to help. He gave those nikes to investigators, as well as his clothes. He even gave a dna sample. And after his interview, chris dad called up sergeant carpenter. He had told us in this phone call that l. J. Had driven by the house, was threatening chris. Reporter so heres more information that this l. J. Is a very real and threatening person . Yes. You know, i never wanted to do this. Reporter detectives also spoke to chris and annies friend spencer riddle. Spencer said he was at the gym with his brother the night annie was killed. Did she have an interest in not that she would really tell me. Maybe she does because of some person l. J. , i have no idea who he is. She told me was was in a gang. Y for sure. Reporter before he left the interview, spencer shared one more thing with police. She said that l. J. Has killed someone before. She never gave me the name, but she said that, she knows that or Something Like that. Thats why she was scared when apparently l. J. Threatened chris to come kill him. Reporter you thought l. J. Was your killer . We thought l. J. Was involved. Reporter did boycrazy annie fall for a gang member . In her room, police found this poem she had written to l. J. And with it, for the first time, a name leyton jendon. But police couldnt track him down. Jaclyn wasnt working the case then, but she remembers crossing paths with spencer at the station. And he immediately tensed up, clenched his fists. His eyes got big. He couldnt take his eyes off of me. And i thought, this kid has done something wrong. And he thinks im coming to arrest him because im approaching him in uniform. Reporter did you share that with derek . Yes. He said, weve received more information now, and we think we have another suspect. Reporter another suspect. A new name altogether. Based on information from an eyewitness who may have seen Annie Kasprzak the night she was killed and knew who killed her. Coming up is this how annie was murdered . And is this the man who murdered her . What if i told you shes dead . I didnt do it. When dateline continues. And outdoor allergens. Like those from buddy. Live claritin clear.

The idea that somebody else could do that to her was just even now, its hard to imagine that thats even possible. Reporter and now Draper Police were working hard to catch her killer. Were trying to actively locate suspects in this case, any witnesses, so we can actually bring this case to a conclusion for the parents. Reporter and within a week of annies murder, they found that witness. Her name was joanna, and she had been picked up on a fraud charge by neighboring west jordan pd. During her interview, she started telling detectives about a young girl she had seen a week prior. The cops thought some of what she said sounded eerily similar to annies case. So they called draper pd, and detective Derek Johnson and his colleague came over to hear what joanna had to say. Tell me what you know about this girl. It was the second time ive seen her over there. Reporter there at the home where a man named daniel ferry used to live. Danny ferry is a guy known to Law Enforcement . Yes. Reporter as maybe a drug dealer . Drug dealer. He was a member of a gang called vario loco town. And Law Enforcement has dealt with danny quite a few times, yeah. Reporter ferry had a long rap sheet. In fact, derek had served a search warrant on his home a year earlier. And now here was joanna telling derek that she saw a girl who sounded a lot like annie at daniel ferrys home on the night annie was killed. Joanna also said the girl showed up with someone police had been searching for but couldnt find. She came with l. J. Reporter l. J. , the guy annie had written that note to. The alleged gang member. The one Chris Bagshaw said annie had run away with. We had annies entries that said l. J. We had joanna telling us about l. J. Reporter on that night, said joanna, l. J. And the girl disappeared into the garage. She assumed they were having sex. Then when they came out, she saw daniel approach the girl. He asked her if she wanted to [ bleep ] and she laughed. And she was like, no. And he just kind of grabbed her head and just rammed it into the wall. Reporter she said the girl was knocked unconscious. L. J. And another friend named v tried to calm daniel down. And then the three of them carried the girl out to the garage and changed her clothes. Tell me about the clothes they changed her into. There was a lot of red. Thats what i remember the most. What parts do you remember being red . Pants and shoes and a shirt like was bright red. The shirt was white and red . Yeah. Her shoes. Shoes had white laces, and we were tying them. Reporter then, joanna said, daniel, l. J. And v wrapped the unconscious girl in a blue tarp, put her in a white suburban and took off. And when they came back hours later, she said daniel was covered in blood and the girl was not with him. I asked daniel where she was, and he said that she went swimming. He said, she put up one hell of a fight once we got there. Reporter joannas story rang true, leading Derek Johnson to believe the mystery girl was annie and daniel ferry was her killer. Did you see blood on the carpet . Yeah. Was it carpet or hard floor . It was carpet. Im positive it was carpet. Reporter now the search team found the carpet in ferrys house had been ripped up and the walls were freshly painted. Youve got signs of a coverup . Yeah, its looking more and more like this is actually true, all this information that were receiving. Reporter did you find bloodlike splotches on the wall . We found indications that there would be blood on the wall. Reporter they swabbed those areas and then went looking for daniel. They found him at an apartment complex, arrested him and brought him in. Do you want to talk to us without counsel . Yeah, whatever. But whats it about . Let me ask you that. What do you think . I got no clue. Reporter it was, the detectives thought, the typical bad guy response. They were sure daniel knew something. They asked him about l. J. Who the hells l. J. . Thats what im asking you. Dude, i dont know no l. J. Reporter and then about annie. Tell me about annie. Tell me about annie. Annie who . Annie. Who the [ bleep ] is annie . Annie is a girl that was at your house for a party last weekend. Dude, i have no idea who annie is. Weve already talked to a lot of other people that all verify she was there, danny. Okay. Show me a picture, then. Reporter you showed him a picture of annie. Yep. Brittany . Is her name brittany . No, its annie. Reporter detectives thought daniel was lying, and they were done playing around. What if i told you shes dead . I didnt do it. What the [ bleep ] . If you guys think i did this, i do want a lawyer. Okay. Because theres only were done. The only thing that is shaking me. Were done daniel, because i think you did it. Well, if you think i did it, then youve got the wrong guy, man. For real. Good luck. Find the right guy. Reporter derek was confident he had. They booked daniel for annies murder. L. J. , whoever he was, still hadnt turned up but detective Derek Johnson still thought he wrapped up his first homicide. All he needed was the lab to confirm the blood he found in daniels home was annies. Then the lab called and everything unraveled. Coming up i cried for two hours. I only had a few months in detectives and i didnt know if i was capable of doing this. When dateline continues.

He was passed from foster home to foster home. She was passed along from foster home to foster home before she was adopted by her case worker, veronica. Annies life finally seemed to be turning around. Then in 2012, annie, just 15, was found murdered, her body floating in the jordan river. There was never a second that your mind didnt go to, this is not what was supposed to happen. Girl the night annie was killed. That witness also said the girl had shown up with l. J. , whom police could never find. But in the course of their investigation of ferry, detectives learned Something Interesting. And you had another l. J. In that crowd, didnt you . Yeah. Reporter daniel ferry . Yeah. Reporter what was his reporter maybe their witness was confused or deliberately hiding the fact that ferry and l. J. Were one and the same. Either way ferry seemed like their man. But the d. A. Wanted more evidence before filing charges. Derek johnson and Chad Carpenter thought the blood samples taken from daniel ferrys home would push the case over the finish line. And then the blood work comes back and whoops. It was negative for blood. Reporter not only were the samples not annies blood, it wasnt even blood at all. A major blow to the investigation. Didnt mean hes not good for the crime . It doesnt mean that hes not good for the crime. It just led us to believe that, okay, it didnt happen here, at the ferry residence. Reporter so ferry might be good for this thing, but boy, youre just not getting there . Yeah. Reporter the only bright spot, daniel ferry wasnt getting out of jail. He was also being investigated for an unrelated kidnapping and assault case in a neighboring town. So hes on ice while you guys can develop your theories about his involvement in this thing . Yeah. Reporter they continued to investigate ferry. Months went by. Lead detective Derek Johnson was promoted to sergeant. Which meant jaclyn moores case of finally making detective came true. One of her first assignments was the Annie Kasprzak murder. How did you feel this was going to be your case . I cried for two hours. I cried for two hours. Reporter jaclyn decided she needed to start again from the beginning, following the chain of evidence that led her colleagues to daniel ferry. She thought she might link ferry to annie through his phone calls. But when she checked all of his cell phone records showed he was in the middle to northern part of salt lake county. He had never gone south close enough to where annie was killed. Not even near her house. Reporter and she well knew the physical evidence wasnt there either. None of the dna came back saying annie was ever a friend or ever at his house. Detectives never found enough evidence to make a murder charge stick and it turns out there was an explanation. He was also being investigated for an unrelated kidnapping and assault case in a neighboring town. Ferry eventually pleaded guilty and was sent to prison. Draper police came to believe it was this kidnapping that star witness joanna had recounted to them. She had seen a totally different crime. No way daniel ferry could have committed both crimes. So now, rookie detective jaclyn moore went back to the boxes and binders piled high on her desk. I felt lost. I decided i need to start from the beginning and see what information derek had when he first got the case. Reporter and so began the education of a detective. She started reading through pages and pages of annies notes and journal entries. Who does annie turn out to be, the more you learn about her . Shes very lost. She wants to be loved by anyone and everyone. Reporter and jaclyn saw that there was one person in particular annie wanted to be loved by. Chris bagshaw. His name was scribbled all over her journals. Veronica remembered annie gushing about him. She liked him. He was different. He had enough of the bad boy going on that he wasnt a goody twoshoes, and so she didnt feel like he looked down on her. Reporter annies diaries revealed something else, too. She and chris had sex. Reporter chris was the boy annie had slept with just months before her death. After which, remember, she lied about being pregnant. I am starting to think that she made up the pregnancy to keep chris around because he didnt want to be with her anymore. Reporter next, jaclyn pored over annie and chris phone records from the night of the murder. Not only was chris the last person annie spoke to, but the pattern of their calls spoke volumes. 30 seconds here and then it hangs up. Immediately one of them calls the other back. Sometimes the call is ignored. Sometimes chris phone is blocked. Reporter what do you think is going on . It looks like a fight. It looks like theyre yelling at each other and hanging up on each other. Chris had no criminal record and no eyewitness put him at the scene. And there was still the mysterious l. J. , annies reported boyfriend whom police could never find. Not in any police database, not anywhere. That is, until jaclyn knocked on one more door. Hey. Hows it going . Hi. Are you jack . Yeah. Im detective moore. This is detective johnson. Reporter her close buddy and predecessor, Derek Johnson, was by her side when she went to interview annies friend jackson. He told them the same story that theyd been hearing all along, annie telling friends she was pregnant. Nothing new. But then they asked jackson if he new who l. J. Was. His answer floored them. She would always referred to this guy as l. J. , and i asked her, well, whats his real name . And she said chris. Reporter a stunning revelation. Was l. J. All along just annies nickname for Chris Bagshaw . Coming up a death on road and a body blow to jaclyns case. I lost any information that i needed on that case. When dateline continues.

Well i switched to swiffer wet jet and its awesome. Its an allinone that absorbs dirt and grime deep inside. And it helps prevent streaks and haze. Stop cleaning. Start swiffering september 1st, 2013, it was 6 00 a. M. Derek johnson, once the lead detective on annies murder case was now a sergeant. He was just finishing his graveyard shift and headed back to station when he noticed a car parked on the side of the road. It looked like a san franciscoed motorist. Derek stopped to help but never made it out of his car. The motorist had a gun and he was angry. Draper police chief brian reynolds. And he fired at Derek Johnson while he was sitting in the drivers seat of his car. Derek wounded tried to drive away but lost control and crashed head on into a tree. He died at the scene. It was hard. Yeah, it sucked. It you have to give me a second. So derek, he was a good guy. Good cop. Good friend. Reporter derek was just 32 years old, leaving behind his wife and his 6yearold son and his family at draper pd. You know everybody talks about a cops cop and the best cop you can have and how he treated and served the community. Derek was one of those guys. Reporter for jaclyn moore, the loss was twofold. He was starting to get some free time to come help me with the case and tell me more about what he did when he was on the case. And then he was killed. I didnt have anyone else to ask. Reporter youd lost your friend. Your old competitive friend. I lost my friend, and i lost any information that i needed on that case. There was no one else. Reporter because he was kind of the institutional memory of this thing, wasnt he . Yes. Reporter jaclyn had only herself to rely on now. In the balance, justice for annie, now dead for a year and a half. She strongly suspected Chris Bagshaw knew more than he was telling. Jaclyn listened to chris interviews again and again and noticed Something Interesting chris said about his shoes. She had a bloody nose the last time i hung out with her. We were sitting right next to each other and she did drip it on to my shoes. Where on the shoe was that . It was on my shoelaces. Im not sure which shoe. It was about five days ago. We were hanging out and she just came over. Spencer, remember, jaclyn had seem him coming into the station she had a gut feeling back then that he was hiding something and detectives at the time asked for his phone. Do you have an idea why we took your phone . For call logs. Thats part of the reason. There was a message on there that we were kind of interested in. Do you know what that message is . It was a message from chris. The cops might come back to your house. I need you to tell them that annie got a bloody nose so i dont get blamed. Said something about the bloody nose. That i actually dont remember seeing it. I remember hearing it, though. Lab results did eventually show annies blood was on chris shoes. Detectives questioned him about it during a second interview. Would have just been that one drop . Yeah. But then his story began to change. There was a little bit on the shoelace. There was a little bit right here. So two separate drops . Yeah. In fact, the lab found more than just those two spots of blood. They found several. But studying the case file, jaclyn noticed the lab didnt test every spot to find out if it belonged to annie. They also hadnt tested the bottom of chris shoes. So what did you do . At that point we went with a private lab to see if they could test the shoes further. It appeared both shoes were soaked in blood. Came back with two males and two females. Again, nothing you can take to the jury. Right. Six months passed and more dead ends. It had now been two years since annies murder. I was starting to think maybe were not going to actually solve this case. But ja clip was tenacious. She enlisted the help of a cell phone expert. Former homicide detective named sy. He reviewed 35,000 of Chris Bagshaws calls and texts and one call stood out. An incoming call at 9 01 p. M. The night annie was killed. What really stood out is we see these 25 handles. The signal bouncing from tower to tower. The signal strength had to at that that it would cause the handing off that we saw. Eventually they found it. The only spot is in town that caused the strange pattern of pings. It was at the jordan river, the very spot where annie was killed. We feel very, very comfortable saying at 9 01 p. M. On march 10th the phone was within 100 meters of where were standing. It turned out of all the people who could have called chris that night, the one who did precisely 9 01 p. M. Was annies mom veronica. That was because of something annie had told veronica earlier that morning, something about chris. Hed asked her, what would you do if i asked you to run away with me . Runaway. And then i told her, you know, if youre ever missing, hes the first person im calling. Which she did. And without even realizing it helped police place Chris Bagshaw at the scene of the crime right around the time her daughter was killed. It was early morning, october 2016 when veronica not another lifechanging call. Coming up. Jaclyn is on the line. Were in colorado and in the process of arresting chris.

Thats why the nfl chose verizon. Because they need the massive capacity of 5g with ultra wideband, so more screaming, streaming, posting fans. Can experience 5g all at once. This is happening in 13 stadiums all across the country. Now if verizon 5g can do this for the nfl. Imagine what it can do for you. Chris now 17 had moved to grand junction, colorado, and was living with his mom. He was completely unprepared for the undercover officers who approached him on his way to school and for the young detective who met him in the interview room. Chris. Hi. Hey. Nice to meet you. Fanice to meet you, too. Jaclyn had wanted to question chris all along. Now she finally had her chance. Is this an interview . But just as soon as it began it was over. We have a warrant for your arrest. For . Murder and obstruction of justice. I thought ive proven myself innocent. You didnt. Chris was extradited back to utah. Veronica and james were grateful to police but they knew nothing could bring annie back. While we support the Police Department and the Attorneys Office and we appreciate all the work they have continued to do, it does not change what happened. February 29th, 2016, almost four years since annies murder and darvin christopher bagshaws trial was just a week away. He refused to talk to police and pleaded not guilty. We were preparing for trial the following week, and i got a phone call that chris attorney scheduled a hearing that day. Jaclyn, now a sergeant with the utah state police, ran down to court and barely made it in time. When she got there, she saw chris standing before the judge. The case is set for a change of plea hearing today. Are we Going Forward with that . Yes, we are, your honor. There was no deal honored, just a change of heart. Are you pleading guilty to the charge because youre guilty of it . Yes, your honor. Chris attorney said chris wanted to take responsibility for what he had done. Count one, murder, firstdegree murder, felony, how do you plead . Guilty, your honor. Guilty. Confirming what jaclyn had pieced together through years of her investigation. She had a theory of how it all went down. So march 10th annie is discussing over the phone what her options are for her baby with chris, and chris is telling her hes come up with a plan, and they can run away and be together. Jaclyn thinks chris really believed annie was pregnant so he persuaded her to meet him at the river, but chris has no intent on running away. Chris only intent for being there is to kill her, so he just starts beating her until she dies. Turns out to be a very sloppy crime, the amount of blood. Mmmhmm. I feel that he betrayed annie more than he betrayed us. Annie knew him and trusted him. At his sentencing, chris, now 18, sounded remorseful. Im very sorry for everything thats happened and i want to apologize to annies family and to my family and to everybody in court today for putting everybody through this. Still trying to put words into everything that has happened. But for veronica, no amount of im sorries could make up for what she and annies entire family lost. May you feel sadness. May you feel loss. May your tears heal your soul. But may your conscience never clear. I will grieve my daughter every day. And so for the charge of murder, firstdegree felony, i sentence you to no less than 15 years. Chris bagshaw robbed annie of her future and now a judge had decided his fate. It would be 15 years to life in prison. Jaclyn has other cases to work these days, but this one, annies case, will surely always hold a special place in her heart. Do you think derek would have approved . His confidence in you would have been vindicated finally . I wished so bad he was there. Annie started off as a case for veronica, too. But she became so much more. We put her ashes in the ocean so that so that she would never be in one place. And so that wherever we were at, we could feel like she was there. Despite the horrific events that took away her daughter, veronica is still as determined as ever to continue to do good work and to help children in need. She and james have since adopted five more children. It is just what annie would have want them to do. Thats all for this edition of dateline. Im natalie morales. Thanks for watching.
