Transcripts For WCAU Dateline NBC 20150111

In the record book. 3 f2. Al theyll take it here. Theyre going to make them, you would think cris of course. Al absolutely. They take a timeout to make them run a play. Cris and theres plenty of time left on that clock, which is what al putting four back on. Cris trying to do the math on that thing and i was thinking, well, if you had just run a few place, a sweep or whatever. Referee third and final timeout baltimore. Cris John Harbaugh is probably right. Referee please reset the game clock to 14 seconds, 14. Al it was an interesting call that he made. Instead of taking the timeout, which a lot of coaches would have done after the first down play, he waited. He did the math and he figured, okay, if i can get them to fourth down, i make them run a play and they put a few extra seconds back on the clock. Theres 14 seconds on the clock. Cris and it puts jacoby jones on the field. Stranger things have happened here. So you get all the hail mary possibilities. Theres a lot of things here. And by simply taking the knee instead of doing a pitch or a run or a scramble or anything else like that, those extra precious seconds did not tick off. Now here comes this guy, who has ten touchdowns on returns in his career, including one well all remember in the super bowl. Al baltimore is going to put ten guys up on the line and try for the punt block. Maybe a bad snap, bad kick. Youve got jones for the moment back at the 35 yard line. And ryan allen sets up at his 1 yard line to take the snap. Cris of course joe flacco has a huge arm, so hail marys are all probably going to be able to land in the end zone. Plenty of time for a return too. Al here comes the rush. And he does get it away. Jones will catch it at the 44 yard line and why fool around with it. As he runs out of bounds. There are a couple of seconds left on the clock. Cris and youre dead on, al. Because when you decide to go for the block, now theres nobody back there to help protect you as the returner, so the fair catch was the right play. Al absolutely, theres no question about it. Several seconds wasted by trying to run to the sideline. Time now for one more play. Of course the game cannot end, as you look at gronkowski going all the way back to the 5 yard line, the game cannot end on a defensive foul. Cris i always think the way to do this is to have your quarterback move, because you have to buy time for these receivers to get all the way down the field. Al four wide. Flacco stepping up, avoids the sack. Launches one into the end zone, and it is incomplete. Batted back out by the patriots. Even if smith made the catch, he wasnt in the end zone at the end. And so new england comes from behind, wins the game and moves on to the afc championship game. Cris i think that was gronk with the oldfashioned volleyball spike out of the back of the end zone. Al he was right in the middle of the action. Cris might have been Devin Mccourty. Good job of flacco buying some time. Gronk and Devin Mccourty were right there. It was a beautifully thrown ball. Al look at gronkowski. Cris it was actually mccourty who got his hands on the ball and was smart enough to get it out of the end zone, because even if it were caught wouldnt have mattered. Al tap it back out, exactly what he did. New england wins the game 3531. Meeting the colts or the broncos next week here in foxborough.

In a game that will be long remembered, the patriots only lead was the final score. Talk about a cold, hard reality for the ravens, they did just about everything right. They gave the patriots everything they could handle and then some, but new england moves on and they stay here against the winner of tomorrows colts broncos game. The game balls, and we do this, as you know, every sunday night and on into the playoffs, the game balls go to tom brady, who was 33 for 50. His 50th throw was the gamewinning touchdown pass. Three tds and a touchdown on the ground for him. Julian edelman had eight receptions and also threw a touchdown pass to Danny Amendola, the first pass attempt of his entire career. He had been a quarterback at kent state. Wound up being a touchdown pass to Danny Amendola, so the game balls go to tom brady and Julian Edelman. And Michele Tafoya has the opportunity to speak with both of them right now on the field. Michele tom, you told us before the game you cant get down to the ravens. You got down by 14 twice, but you became the first team in postseason history to erase multiple 14point deficits. How were you guys able to get out of those situations . Yeah, you know, we played i dont think we played as well as we would have liked. I thought situationally we played a little good. We showed a lot of toughness coming back from those two deficits. It took a lot of effort, a lot of guys making a lot of good plays and well be happy to host the championship game next week. Michele i know since you didnt feel you played your best you probably dont want to talk about this, but you passed joe montana, the guy you grew up watching for postseason touchdown passes. Can you take a minute and describe what that means to you . Well, ive been part of a lot of great teams and theres been a lot of guys who have been on the receiving ends of those too. Joe is obviously he and steve young were my two idols growing up, so its pretty special. Michele now, do you have a new idol in Julian Edelman who threw a 51yard touchdown pass . What happened on that play . Its not fair when he throws it better than i do. A it was a perfect spiral right in stride and he made it look easy. Im proud of him, what a player he is. Michele congratulations, tom. Hi, mom. Michele lets turn to Julian Edelman. 51yard touchdown strike on your first pass in your career. Tell me about the play and how long did you lobby for that . Weve had it in for ten weeks and, you know, the coaches finally got to call it. We were fortunate enough to execute it. I had to loosen up the arm a little bit. Thanks to coach martin, my golden flash coach at the college of san mateo, they all helped me out with that one. Michele what a throw. This game was so back and forth as tom and i were just discussing. 14 points, twice you came back. What is it about this team that allows you to get out of those kinds of situations . It comes through our preparation. We had a good week of practice. Unfortunately, we didnt do too great in those 14point deficits at the time, but we had the resiliency and the team had, you know, unbelievable poise to come out. Baltimore played a great game. They came out and hit us in the mouth and we were able to get up and keep playing. Michele as tom said, youll be hosting the afc championship game here next week. Julian, congratulations. Thanks. Michele bob. All right, michele, thanks. We welcome to the set now tony dungy and rodney harrison. As we said earlier, and Julian Edelman just acknowledged it, baltimore gave new england everything they could possibly have expected and then some. How did the patriots escape . They had some rust from being off, i think, but you cant say enough about tom brady. Being down 14 points with really no running game, it was all on him. He played great in the second half. I look at Bill Belichick and what hes done with his coaching staff. This is a mentally tough football team. You talk about situational football. Its no surprise to me during the waning minutes. Game they come up with big plays. Joe flacco was on fire early. Overall 28 of 45, nearly 300 yards. Four touchdowns, a couple of interceptions. Take us to the Fourth Quarter and new englands comeback. Well, it started off, they got in the nohuddle, up tempo. And in the third quarter, they really got going. Rodney, you called this play when we were watching it. Yeah, tom brady recognized the safety blitz and he raised his hand and you know its oneonone coverage and you know exactly where hes going, coach. And Danny Amendola came up huge. These plays dont look like a lot, but this, breaking a tackle, stretching the ball out, picking up the first down, that was big. Brandon lafell has been a guy thats up and down but tom brady talked about believing in him. But im really excited about the play of the safeties. They came up with two interceptions, and Patrick Chung played his best game of the season. And here youve got Darrelle Revis on the other side, youre going to favor torrey smith. Joe flacco just left the ball a little bit inside, but that was a great play, well set up. And you said it, situational football. Wheres the ball going in those big moments. And you talk about it even right to the end, how great a game this was with five seconds to go. You think the game is over after the interception in the end zone and it turns out that the ravens have one last shot at it. They hurl one into the end zone and for a split second everybodys heart stopped because the ball is up in the air. When the patriots always talk about team football, thats what it is about, bob. Its not just about superstars with tom brady and gronk, its about the role players as well. You saw a guy, Danny Amendola, who got paid a lot of money and was a real disappointment step up in the big moments, coach. You have to take your hatd off to the ravens. John harbaugh coached to the last minute, getting the punt returning and having one chance to win. They played great. In the pregame show dan patrick said to you do you coach any differently against Bill Belichick and you said not really except you know theres always going to be at least one thing that you havent seen. Well, that one thing was the touchdown pass. Yeah. They set it up beautifully. Throw a lot of balls out there short to shane vereen, quick passes to amendola and set up the play to edelman for the double pass. You talk about the respect of the Baltimore Ravens. This is a mentally tough team as well. Most teams when they get up on the patriots by two touchdowns and the patriots make that surge, most teams would fall apart. The Baltimore Ravens hung in there for four quarters. Youve got to give them a lot of credit. Heres a mantra in every sport, you play them one at a time. Yes, the colts have to think about the broncos and vice versa, theyll play tomorrow in denver. But you have to believe that the hearts sank for both indianapolis and for denver because, all right, you win the game, youve got to come here. Dont even think about that, bob. You think about the game. You do think about it. Do you really . Ive been there watching and saying, you know what, if baltimore wins, were going to go out and win tomorrow and well be at home. But it should be the same mentality, coach. You do, but believe me, youre thinking about it and you but if youre indy, youre going to get to play them indoors if you win at denver. If youre denver, youve got a bad history when it comes to coming to foxborough. You want them there. You beat them there last year. Thats a great point, but i tell you this. If im the patriots, i want the Indianapolis Colts to come here because they dont believe this is a young team but they dont believe they can come here and win a Football Game on the road in the cold. Whereas the broncos do. Youre if the patriots, you want the colts rather the broncos. Yeah. The broncos have played games here. They were up 210 a couple of years ago, lost the game but they know they can score. They know they can compete here. The colts have not with andrew luck. I tell you this, bob, i look at the Denver Broncos and, yes, they have Peyton Manning. He struggled the last month of the season. But im more afraid of Peyton Manning as opposed to andrew luck in the playoffs. Fair enough. Lets go get warm. Final score, patriots 35, ravens 31. Al and cris will wrap things up from upstairs after this. Double wings, extra ranch. We need to do something different. Callahans . Ehh, i mean get away. Like away away. Road trip . Double wings, extra ranch. It feels good to mix it up. The allnew, fuelefficient Volkswagen Golf tdi clean diesel. Up to 594 miles of adventure in every tank.

We are farmers bumpadum bumbumbumbum al wild one in new england tonight, 3531 was the final score. We were talking to Bill Belichick the other day, asking him about this team and he said its a team thats improved every week. He said our defense has been great, we dont outscore teams, we can beat them by scoring 13 points. Not the case tonight. Hard working, unselfish group. Tell them what to do and they try to do it and they got it done tonight. Cris and they did it with tom brady. You know, we talked about at the top of the show its so tough to run on the ravens, but who would have ever imagined four runs only in the second half. And what were they . Tom brady, quarterback sneak, and three tom brady kneeldowns. That was their entire running game the second half and they come back and win the game because they have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Al coaches are always saying you have to run the ball and stop the run. Sometimes you dont. So the guys already discussed the afc side of the bracket. You know that denver is going to come here next week or indianapolis, whoever wins tomorrow. What do you think about on the nfc side right now . Cris i have to see somebody beat seattle. We saw them in arizona. I thought they were absolutely brilliant. Russell wilson was so good. The Dallas Cowboys may be the team that scares you because of the fact that they can run the football so effectively. You go into green bay, youre not sure about aaron rodgers, how healthy hes going to be, and the cowboys have already gone to seattle and won there because they can run the football. Maybe the only thing i see that you can do against that seattle defense, run right at them and theyre pretty good at that. Al it ought to be a lot of fun by the time we get to phoenix, it will be time for the super bowl. Meanwhile, we work with some of the greatest people of all time on all sides of the both sides of the ball, production, engineering, technical, you name it. And again, sunday night football the number one primetime show on television. Were going to go off the air tonight with an acknowledgement to the folks who make this show what it is. We really appreciate it and love you guys. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome america to centurylink field, home of the 12 and the World Champion Seattle Seahawks. Lynch, cutting it back, in he goes for the touchdown. The Seattle Seahawks will win this one going away. Look at that protection for manning. Right on the money. Julius thomas, to the end zone, touchdown cutler to the end zone. Oh, a onehanded grab by brandon marshall. Spectacular and there goes murray, inside the 10, juking and faking and scoring. And manning guns it and it is touchdown congratulate your quarterback, Peyton Manning, on touchdown number 509. All that time pays off with the record breaker. And look at him. He understands now his place in history and taking that top shelf. Ben hanging in the pocket, fires, brown makes the catch. Turns it inside.

That is six touchdown passes for roethlisberger for the second week in a row. Good protection, lots of time, wide open, jordy nelson, turns it back inside. Jordy nelson to the end zone. Lambeau leap to follow. Brady goes to gronkowski. Gronkowski look at that. Theres your exclamation point. Wow and manning is going to heave one. A onehanded catch. How in the world . Oh, my goodness. This is sick. Put this to music. I dont think he stepped out, either. That may be the greatest catch ive ever seen. Brady, play action throws edelman. Boy, hes had some quarter and off he goes breaking tackles. Julian edelman all the way to the end zone. Blitz, romo going deep for bryant. Touchdown three touchdown catches tonight for dez bryant. Lynch, with some high stepping and some shifty maneuvering, and peterson tries to strip it. Oh, you want to call that sick . That is absolutely spectacular and he does it all the time. We have seen magic tonight out of the Seattle Seahawks, and the biggest game of the year. I mean that is just incredible football. The terrible towels whirling, and this crowd is ready to rock n roll. Heres Antonio Brown trying to get to the outside. Now hell try the other way, picking up blockers.

And knows just about every prominent family in the county, including the moores. I said they were odd, thatd be a pretty good way of summarizing it. Odd . Yes. Odd how . You would hear more about them. Complained more than other families. Complain in other ways other people found out about it. And the two cousins. Had known for years, almost since id been here had a reputation for being a real hot head. A lot of mouth. He couldnt back it up. So when paul came and said i think pete is suspicious, did the suspicion seem plausible . Yes, it did. We knew pete had a hot head and had access to the property. And for paul to denounce peter who was like his brother . Sadding perhaps but made sense to the d. A. s office which signed off on the warrant to have petes house searched. It was just a few blocks away. Went out to grab a bite to eat. We saw them searching the house. Mary is peter moores wife. Did you have any idea . I didnt think that at first. I said whats going on here and two cops grabbed me and escorted me to the front of the house. Mary ellen asked investigators what was going on. They were handed the search warrant stating investigators were looking for anything connected to bomb making. I said how do you know it was a bomb . We dont even know it was a bomb. That was the first you heard of such a thing . Because we thought it was an accident. Did they seem to be accuseing the two of you . Yes. Both of you . Yes. Were you frightened . Oh, yes. What were you afraid of . That they thought we did it. The raid on peters house just days after robertos death was big news. A neighbor began sending out realtime updates on facebook. There was a parade of cars driving around the whole neighborhood. As these detectives were asking the questions and as they were ripping my house going through my house. And when they left . They took our computers and our cell phones. We had a business. Nobody could call us. But meanwhile the whole neighborhood was watching this . Yes. The search didnt yield a thing. We didnt find anything as far as bomb making materials, instructions on bombs, even anything remotely close to that, like gun powder or anything like that. Still pete was doing something he wasnt doing at his house . Not that we could find any. He denied he had anything to do with it . Yes, he did. So pete couldnt and didnt try to deny his hatred for roberto. Why did you hate him . He was arrogant. He flaunted stuff in my face. As if this were some biblical ethic stolen his birthright. Most people around town knew about that. So when they heard peter moores house was being search ed. I thought it was pete all along. Why . He was always the one that had something mean to say. He was always the one that hated him. That was the only person i could think of. There was a lot of town talk going on, a lot of gossip, rumor. About a week after his house was searched pete got a visit from a friend who had heard some things. I was working one day and he saw me, the Highway Patrol friend of mine and backs up in his Highway Patrol car and goes what the hell are you doing . I go working. He goes no youre not, get in the city, get an attorney, pete. Theyre coming after you. Youre their number one suspect. Petes in the crosshairs, but investigators are about to learn that their victim may have made a very different and deadly enemy. The letter implied that roberto had messed with a drug cartel.

These little bits and pieces, fragments of this and that, were about all that was left around Roberto Ayalas body the day of the explosion. The story in there somewhere. Agent brian parker was assigned to find out what it was. What does this tell you overall . What it tells us is that there was an incredible amount of force in the explosion. Reporter most of these were once part of the electrical box. You have washers, different types of hardware in here, screws, nuts, wire. Reporter other pieces are just trash. But a few fragments, just a handful, looked like they were pieces from a different puzzle. Odd. Cells from a 9volt battery, galvanized steel ripped apart. Reporter he sent these pieces to the west Coast Crime Lab for analysis. To determine whether or not there was explosive residue resin on some of the items. Reporter like powder or nitroglycerin . Correct. Reporter then there was this discovered on the fifth day of the investigation. The panel box door found 160 feet from the site of the explosion. About four feet tall, two feet wide, probably weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 pounds. This where the large hole is would be the bottom of the panel. Reporter the forensic scientists at the atf continued their battery of tests hunting for bomb residue, fingerprints, dna. All the while detective david salm was on peter moores tail waiting for him to make a mistake. Did he go underground . Did he leave . Whatd he do . He didnt leave. Reporter what were people saying around town . We were hearing that people were saying they thought pete did it. They were following us everywhere. Reporter didnt make it a secret either from mary ellen, them or the neighbors. How did it make you feel . Like we were guilty. After they raided my house i spent days crying, days and days. Id be at work and just crying because you dont know whats going on. You dont know who to trust. Reporter how much were you watched . I wake up in the morning to people outside my house. They watched me get up every day go put a shirt on and be in the public when everybody thinks youre a murder. Reporter even some of petes own relatives seemed convinced of that. His sister mary stuck by him. Im amazed at how much talking goes on there with no actual evidence of, you know, a lot of gossip and people in your business. Reporter mary placed a call to one of the investigators, told them they were going after the wrong guy. He was extremely rude. And said you and your family just need to accept it, your brother did this. I just broke down in tears because i thought they just didnt like him as a person. And i think they just to me my opinion was they wanted it to be him. Reporter four weeks into the investigation, peter moore was not just a top suspect, he was the only suspect. They had no physical evidence though that a murder had even occurred. But they continued to watch and wait and the weeks went by. Then a month after the explosion there was news from the atf crime lab. They had found something. There was the presence of explosive residue on the metal fragments that we submitted. Reporter so it was a bomb, a murder. Then the very next day. Im sitting in my office, we were talking about what we were going to do next and the civil deputy walks in with a big manila envelope. And he says i think this is for you guys. It says Colusa County sheriffs office, no street address. And in the upper left hand corner it says ayala case and then theres eight stamps on it. And it was pretty light. So it was way too much postage. Reporter because inside was just a single sheet of paper. An open letter to the cops. What did that letter say . Basically it was claiming responsibility for the bombing. Reporter the letter, full of misspellings and bad grammar, had been written on a labelmaker, then photocopied. Its author claimed to be a military trained contract killer whod been hired to kill roberto over a mexico deal gone wrong. And that it was ms13 behind it. Reporter what the heck is ms13 . Mara salvatrucha. Its a violent el salvadorian, criminal street gang. Reporter and that roberto was supposed to be a target of this group . The letter implied that roberto had messed with a drug cartel and that ms13 had been contracted. Reporter the author of the letter taunted the detectives, writing that lab results would find military grade powder but no dna. Which was true, so far. But the point of the letter, wrote its author, was a warning. Robertos brother, eduardo, was next on the hit list. The writer said hed turned down the job to kill eduardo. But a second assassin would soon be on his way. Did you think it was a hoax . Did you think it was real . I didnt know what to think. I had never seen anything like that before in my career, except on something similar on tv. Reporter but one thing about that strange letter was all too obvious. Whoever wrote it had inside knowledge because nobody, besides the cops, knew what the atf had discovered. We hadnt told anybody it was a bomb. So for somebody to just write a letter claiming responsibility for a bombing, you know, that lended some credence to the fact that the author of that letter was the real thing. Reporter weird. All too weird. Detective salm and the others went home for the weekend to digest what they had just read and seen. And then, monday morning, salms phone rang. 7 00 a. M. Hey, get in here. We got another one of those letters. I came to work, theres a second letter sitting on my desk. This one was a slightly smaller manila envelope, or halfsized manila envelope but configured the same way. Label maker address, ayala case, and way too much postage, again. Reporter huh. What was inside that one . A diagram of a bomb. Reporter invitation from a killer. The letter said if you have any questions, place an ad make sure its last.

Call the Verizon Center for customers with disabilities at 800. 974. 6006 tty v investigators received in the mail this hand drawn picture of a bomb. What did you think when you saw that diagram . Shock. We were amazed. Reporter yeah. Absolutely amazed. I had never seen anything like that before. Reporter the device, as shown in the diagram, was a twoinch pipe bomb placed next to a oneliter soda bottle full of gasoline, spraypainted black. A large bolt, tied off with fishing line and acting as a drop weight, would fall on a rat trap causing it to strike a firing pin. Kind of like a Rube Goldberg device. The author also said there was a second secret triggering device as a back up. Either way, the bomb was designed to go off when Roberto Ayala opened the door of the electrical box. Could have been almost anything and now suddenly, agent parker saw how they all fit, those confusing bits and pieces hed been pouring over for the past month. It was almost like someone had sent us the cover of the puzzle box. Reporter so now they matched the bits to the diagram. The first thing i looked for was this bolt. And there it was. The thing that made it exceptionally clear was the fact that the bolt still had some fishing string attached just underneath the head of the bolt, which is how it was depicted in the diagram. Reporter so it would have been hanging from that string as a weight . Right. And so that was very clear that that bolt was, in fact, part of our device that was described in the letters. Reporter and there were fragments of a plastic soda bottle, black paint still clinging to them, again, just like the diagram. There was a spring that was similar to a rat trap spring. There was gasoline on the victims clothing. And then we recovered pieces of a nine volt battery that we were able to determine that had no business being in that panel. Reporter so if you found the writer of those letters, you had found your killer . That was our opinion, yes. Reporter along with the diagram was a second letter, in which the bomber repeated his earlier claim, that he was a reluctant assassin. After a career of killing, he wrote, i want to save a life before i take my life. The bomber repeated his warning. Robertos brother, eduardo was next. In fact, the whole ayala family was in mortal danger. He said, i wanted to make sure you get this letter and have time to help these guys. Reporter so it was sent as if ive been assigned to do something. I dont want it to happen. I want you guys to prevent it. That was basically the gist of the letter. Reporter did you warn ed . Not exactly. There are things in the investigation that we could not release. There was information about the letters that we could not release. Keeping that stuff confidential was important to the integrity of the investigation. Reporter but the mans life might be in jeopardy. We did talk to ed. We gave him as strong a warning as we could without going into specific detail. Reporter one of those details was that the killer had been given a deadline. The letter said i was given eight weeks to do this job. And it will be reassigned in five weeks. I wanted to give you guys time to help these guys and do something about it. Reporter so you at least had some time, maybe. Maybe. Dave tells me that they had received a letter, and the letter had mentioned me. Reporter robertos brother, eduardo. And he said, you be careful. Watch yourself. Reporter but it wasnt just eduardo in the crosshairs. The letterwriter claimed whoever was now driving robertos nowrepaired pick up truck, that white f250, the bomber wrote, is in great danger. And who was that person . Roberto ayalas son, jesus. The threat against the ayalas was looking very real. It was real it didnt just look real. It was real. A lot of sleepless nights reporter because this exmarine not only had a farm to run, but as he saw it, a murder to solve and now two families to protect. Going through my mind was just look out. You know, take care of my brothers family, primarily take care of my brothers family, take care of my family, look out for myself. Look over your shoulder. Reporter the first thing eduardo did was hide the pickup truck. But now with the truck outofsight would the killer, or killers, just find a different, or better, place for a bomb . Once everybodys asleep all i could do was just think and think and run things through my mind. Its somebody sneaky and violent enough to plant a bomb to kill somebody, and he did it to one person. Theres nothing going to stop him from doing it to somebody else. Reporter in this second letter, the bomber left open one possible line of communication. The letter said, if you have any questions place an ad in the Sacramento Bee august 21st issue, help wanted. Make sure its the last ad. Reporter and so they placed this classified ad, and waited for a killer to call. Reporter investigators get a fresh piece of evidence, an answering machine message. Let you know ive been taken out of my dads will. Reporter pete moore talking about being disinherited to police. Was that still a motive for murder. Ious hairball issue. We clean it up, turn around and there it is again. Its scary. Little bit in my eye. [ michelle ] underneath the Kitchen Table underneath my work desk weve got enough to knit a sweater.

Lowes presents how to make your guests think theyre at the wrong house. Oh wow. Told you were in the wrong house. Go go mom. Mom get 10 off sylvania led light bulbs at lowes. Reporter who ever heard of such a thing . Letters from a purported killer . Plus a diagram of what certainly looked like the actual bomb that killed Roberto Ayala. Was it real, a ruse, a lucky guess . If it was for real, who sent it . Was it from the lead suspect, peter moore, or a hit man, as the letter claimed . Or was it from somebody who wasnt even on detective salms radar . Whoever it was, five weeks into the case, it was about the only lead investigators had. So they played along with the guy, placed an ad, as requested, in the Sacramento Bee. Sure enough, somebody responded. Cops rushed to see him, perhaps arrest him. He was pretty surprised when he got a visit. Reporter false alarm. It was just an unlucky guy looking for a job. The killer though . The killer never called. So this whole ms13 thing, this mexico deal gone wrong was just some sort of game the real bomber was playing. Trouble was, nobody knew the rules, the purpose, or where the game might end. But, more than one way to find a guy brazen enough to send that material to the cops. We had the letters that we wanted to get analyzed. We wanted fingerprints. We wanted dna. Reporter but the letters and envelopes came back clean, just as the bomber said they would. What was going on . To investigators one theory seemed the least likely, that roberto was mixed up with the drug gang, ms13. The ayalas are a classic bootstrap story, roberto a very religious man, who worked his way up from field hand to farm manager, oversaw the day to day operations of a multimillion dollar spread. He knew the land. He knew the machines that worked it. He was utterly committed to that work. What did working that farm mean to your dad . That was everything. That was our whole even our lives, and his life. Our whole live revolved around it. We were always there. Reporter first jobs as kids, right . Yeah. Learn how to drive on the farm. Learn how to pretty much do everything on the farm. Reporter tell me about your dad. What kind of a guy was he . Hes a hard worker, someone to look up to. We all admired him. Reporter and it did not go unnoticed on the moore farm. Over the years, owners roger and gus came to rely a great deal on roberto. They treated roberto more like a favored son than just an employee. How important is family to roberto . Probably the most important thing. It all revolved around us. We didnt have much, but everywhere he went, we went too. We were always together. He was the one to keep everyone together. Reporter latino celebrate the coming of age when the girl turns 15. So when robertos daughter paula turned 15 . I was the only girl, so he did everything he could to make that day the best. Reporter so what kinds of things do you do . You have to have your father daughter dance. You just feel like youre the only person that exists at that moment. Like, you just feel important. You really do feel like the princess. Reporter probably wont ever forget that, right . But, of course, for teenagers, theres another rite of passage, butting heads with parents, which, that last morning, may have, pure chance, saved jesus life. We always went to work together. And for some reason we had an argument that morning, so i didnt get to tag along with the ride that day. Reporter oh no. Because you might otherwise have been there. I would have probably been the one to get off to go check that pump. Reporter why would anybody want to hurt him . I cant find a reason to why somebody would want to do it, to want to kill him. Reporter and this bomber, whoever it might be, came very close to also murdering fabian. If you want my button pushed, bring a child into it. Reporter d. A. John poyner found fabians plight to be particularly heartbreaking. I couldnt imagine, seven years old, and seeing my dad blown up. Reporter and running all that way. People dont understand. It was, like, maybe a couple miles as the crow flies. But to run through what we call colusa mud, which is the rice fields. And its just i mean, he had to take his shoes off. Hes literally covered with you can hardly walk through it. And for him to run all that way, it was amazing. I remember asking him if he knew what 911 was, and he told me and he was right what it and asked if we knew how to use a cell phone. And he said, yeah. And i asked if his dad had a cell phone. And he said, yes, he did. I said, well, why didnt you use your dads cell phone . Why didnt you call for help . And he was reaching out like this. And he said, i cant. Its in his pocket. And hes on fire. Yeah, that stays with you. Reporter and now these taunting letters from robertos killer, almost taking prideful delight in how hed killed the man and almost murdered the boy. Who could it be . Who would do such a thing, and why . Then, four days after the diagram showed up, one of the alpha males of the moore clan walked in the front door. Roger moore, pauls dad, and like his son, wanted to help catch the killer and told the detectives he had important evidence to share. It was an audiotape, answering machine messages his nephew pete left on his phone. Hey, rog, this is pete. Ive worked for 21 years doing what im doing. So, that i could eventually one day have a chance to farm. Reporter pete wanted to talk about having been disinherited. And, as you seen, ive been taken out of my dads will. Reporter the phone messages contained nothing directly incriminating. But after being diverted by those strange letters, about assassins and a drug gang, the investigation was now back to where it started, that peter moore was the prime suspect. But . Just as all eyes were focused in one particular direction, the very next day, the phone rang. Investigators discover a brand new suspect. We may have somebody else to look at. And as police go after more evidence, someone comes after them leaving a taunting message out in the field. Here i am, im doing this. Come find me. Why do i cook .

Reporter six weeks into the investigation, detective salm and agent parker had an audio tape, texts, letters and diagrams. Fragments of leads pointing in wildly different directions, to pete moore, or a drug cartel, or a crazed assassin. And now they had another lead to work on. Somebody made an anonymous call to the Sheriffs Department and said the caller basically stated, you need to be looking at paul moore. Reporter paul, not peter . Paul, not peter. Reporter for all the produce that comes rolling out of Colusa County, california, its population of humans is small. Just 22,000. Everybody seems to know just about everybody here. So, when a wouldbe anonymous tipster called the sheriffs office, turned out he wasnt anonymous at all. The detective who took the call recognized the voice and phoned him right back. And says, hey, you need to come in and talk to us. Reporter the caller, as it turned out, was this man, dave moore, cousin of roger and gus, with a multimillion dollar spread of his own and a passion for war birds. Daves stepdaughter had once been married to paul. This is a video from their wedding day. A messy divorce followed a few years later. So david and susan moore came into our office. Reporter susan moore is daves wife. What did they say when they got into the office . The first thing they told us was a wire tapping incident. Reporter wire tapping . Yes. Reporter dave and sue claimed that paul tapped his wifes phone to spy on her during divorce negotiations. And, sure enough, here are the court documents. In 1997, paul was arrested on four counts related to tapping both his wife and inlaws phones. He pleaded guilty to one count of electronic eavesdropping, a felony. The other charges were dropped and paul served no jail time. But the wire tapping story was just a prolog to what they were really there to talk about. Who do you think is capable or responsible for actually setting up an explosive device in that panel . I think, like, probably 90 paul. Reporter but dave and susan couldnt really give a reason why paul would want to kill roberto, other than they felt paul just had the kind of personality to do Something Like that while pete didnt. So you dont think peter is capable of actually developing a pretty sophisticated device to create an explosion . Im doubtful of it. I dont know him that that well, but i really wouldnt think he could. And i also think he doesnt have the moxie to do Something Like that. What do you mean, moxie . The intelligence . The meanness. The meanness . Yeah. Reporter but peter had actually threatened roberto, wanted to fight him, and as far as anybody knew, paul had never done anything like that. Nevertheless, based on this new information from david and susan moore, detectives asked paul to come in for another meeting. Come on in and have a seat. Reporter which he did quite willingly. Took time off on a sunday afternoon. And detective salm asked paul directly do you have a prior criminal record . Yes. I was into drugs and stuff when i was younger. Reporter committed felonies, in fact. Then, he said, he just grew up, and now wanted to help any way he could, even if it meant informing on his beloved cousin, peter. I think pete was a little envious of robert. I think he felt his dad treated robert better than pete got treated when he worked there. He said something about his dad taking him out of the will. Reporter one thing, though, paul, like his secondcousin, dave, felt pete wasnt capable enough to make that bomb. Somebody must have helped him. I just dont think pete has the technical ability to do it, unless he seriously had some help. Okay. So this type of thing was done by somebody who was pretty intelligent. Maybe got some knowhow. Well, thats kind of what you guys said, and i think thats right. Reporter but remember, pauls exinlaws told detective salm that paul was more likely the guilty party. Probably 90 paul. Reporter so now the detective turned the tables a little, suggested maybe it was he, paul, who was jealous of roberto. But i didnt hate robert. Okay. Did you not like him . I didnt like the fact that he would cop an attitude with me over something stupid and, you know, a little reporter detective salm pressed paul about his past. Youve got several incidents here where i have a criminal record. Youve been involved in some bad stuff. I agree. Okay. Youve cut phone wires. Ive tried to help you guys out through this whole thing. If youre going to start copping an attitude im not trying to cop an attitude with you. But im having trouble with some of the stuff youre saying. All right . I know my word doesnt mean [ bleep ]. Im a felon. I was a drug addict. Living in colusa sucks with this. Everybody knows about it. I have to put up with a lot of [ bleep ] here. Reporter so this must have put a whole different complexion on paul. It did. Reporter having thought for some time that maybe peter was your guy, what was that like . Its possible we may have somebody else to look at. Reporter and indeed they did. Attached gps trackers to both peter and pauls vehicles, which produced precisely nothing. More weeks slipped by. Eduardo ayala aware he and his family could be the killers next target, would lay awake at night, thinking. I would imagine peter trying to build this bomb, had to do it on a workbench, obviously, but hes got the shakes. So i had to think about that. Did he or did he have somebody else do it for him . And then i would think the same thing about paul. Working side by side with the guy, i could see he was smart, supersmart guy. Reporter by the time the rice crop came in first couple of weeks of october, the whole case had gone into a kind of stall. Atf agent brian parker was particularly frustrated. While the door of the Electrical Panel had been recovered, the box itself, where the bomb had been placed, was still missing. The most logical place where that remains of that panel was, was in the river that was directly behind where the explosion occurred. Reporter so they called in an fbi dive team, which spent days mucking through the bottom of the canal next to where the bomb had gone off. And agent parker, who had been monitoring the search, had a strange incident as he was leaving one day. And all of a sudden, the tire went flat. Reporter this is what flattened the tire, a home made spike. The spike was constructed of a harvester sickle that was welded to a twoinch washer. Further inspection of the area, we found another one of these spikes. Almost like a challenge to us. Like, you know, here i am. Im doing this to you. Now come find me. Basically theyre coming. Theyre coming after the cops. Reporter investigators may be able to fight back with new ammunition. They finally turn up Scientific Evidence in one of the letters the killer sent. There was a dna profile on the back of one of the stamps that was fixed to the envelope. Just inside a box. The promise of tomorrow awaits.

The long lasting picker upper and now try new bounty nfl prints. Available at walmart. Which the bomb had been placed. But after months of sitting in water and mud, there was no trace of dna or fingerprints. The only story this peeled metal told was reporter now, with little hope of finding that key piece of evidence that would put the case away, the detectives tried that good Old Fashioned tool of policing. Shoe leather and tire tread. Round the clock surveillance of peter and paul moore. Aided by tracking devices with a particularly helpful app. Theyre called geo fences. I put a geofence pretty big geo fence around where i live. I put a geo fence around the Sheriffs Department. Reporter protection he felt he needed, after someone targeted Law Enforcement with those spikes on the road. If the vehicle or the gps monitor travels into those locations, you get a an alert. Reporter in addition detective salm would routinely login to check on the whereabouts of peter and pauls trucks. And on the morning of thanksgiving day, more than four months after the bombing, salm turned on his computer to find that the gps tracker on paul moores truck had gone dead. We had no signal whatsoever. And this is also the type of gps that you could call. You know, just like callin on the cell phone. And wake it up, because they go to sleep when theyre not movin. And and where are you . Well, we couldnt get a response from it. Reporter the device may have just died. Or been found. So salm got into his car, with his partner drove to pauls house to see if the truck was there. We got to his house and i look at the kitchen window, and hes starin at me, okay. Reporter hoping paul hadnt recognized him, salm hit the road. And as were leaving town, i look in the rearview mirror, and and there he is following us in his truck. He pulls in behind us. I speed up, he speeds up. Im up to about 85, and hes still gainin on me. He pulls in the opposing lane. I slam on the brakes and he keeps goin. We pace him. I i lose pace of him at 95. I called him in, and chp was actually able to get a stop on him was that all about . Have no idea who chases the police . Thats the first time thats ever happened to me in my career. By now, your suspicions were ratcheted up quite a bit, i would think. Yes, they were. You worried about your own safety . At parts during the investigation there were concerns for our own safety. You know, were were dealing with a person who is violent enough to plant a bomb. Reporter but was that person paul moore . Paul had a criminal history to be sure, but was he a killer . There were certain things about pauls past detective salm was unable to share with us, for reasons well explain later. But we discovered in old Court Records a saga of smart expensive lawyering dealing with misdeeds that go way beyond tapping an exwifes telephone. In 1997, paul was arrested after an incident in San Francisco one night. Ugly accusations of rape, false imprisonment and assault with a Deadly Weapon. Trying to run his alleged victim over with his pickup truck. Charges that could put paul in prison for a decade or more. Instead, paul spent nearly three years driving back and forth between his place here in coulsa and San Francisco, engaged in a series of court maneuvers. The result . Paul simply got probation after pleading no contest to assault with intent to commit rape, but denying blame for the offense. The other charges were dropped. But the conviction put paul on californias sex offenders listsearchable by county. Out of fear that someone in colusa was bound to find out his secret, paul went into exile near santa cruz. However, as part of the original plea deal, pauls intent to commit rape conviction was dropped, vacated in 2007, seven years later. In exchange paul pleaded no contest to the assault with a Deadly Weapon charge. Which meant paul was no longer a registered sex offender. And the prodigal son was welcomed home. This part of his past a carefully guarded secret from most of the folks here in Colusa County. But petes past was not a secret. Everybody knew he didnt like Roberto Ayala. And everyone knew he was a suspect. Around town, could you hear what people were whispering . Pete. Pete, pete, pete. Pete, pete, pete. But not paul . Not paul. Reporter then, five months into the investigation. There was news, of a sort, from one of the crime labs. A male leg hair was found under a label on one of the envelopes. And the dna came back matching nobody. No one in the moore family nor anyone in the codis data base, anyway. Odd. Had it been planted there to throw off investigators . Then one of these envelopes finally gave up what appeared to be a real clue. There was a dna profile from fingerprint ridge detail on the back of one of the stamps that was affixed to the envelope that one of the letters was was sent in. So what came back from these dna test . The contributor of the dna from the fingerprint material, was was similar to paul moore. Reporter case closed, right . Not this time. This time there was a but. Similar to paul moore. But it wasnt a match. Reporter the dna sample was so minute, that forensic scientists were unable to build a full genetic sequence. Meaning the dna may have come from paul moore, but the scientists couldnt say it was a 100 match. And while the dna didnt match anyone else in the moore family, including peter, the fact that paul couldnt be excluded was nothing that would hold up in court. It it was beyond frustrating. To to hear th that we have an almost match, but we cant say for sure. Reporter still, it did give them an idea. Theyd get one shot at it. Might work.

But it was enough to get some people in town whispering. Rumors run. Rumors are like bad smell, they move fast reporter eduardo heard those rumors, heard that maybe paul had something to do with robertos murder. Which placed eduardo in the hitchcockian situation of working side by side with the man who may have murdered his brother. Id look at him just like im looking at you. Talk to him just like im talking to you. And in the back of my mind, im thinking, youre the one that did it. Reporter and while that dna result from the stamp wasnt Strong Enough to hold up in court, it was significant enough to get a warrant to search pauls home. For whatever that was worth, five long months after the bombing. Reporter he had done some kind of major cleaning of his house. So we had actually had conversation about this. And and reporter like a whats the point . Conversation . That was one of the things that was talked about. And the decision was made and and i was i i didnt want to leave it untouched. Sure. But your expectations were not that high . No, they werent. Reporter detective salm wanted to make sure they did a thorough search. So he cobbled together a team of investigators from various Law Enforcement agencies. Before we served the search warrant, we had a briefing. Reporter one of the cops helping them was a detective from a neighboring town. Jose chuey ruiz. Actually showed us the diagram of the bomb and thats what we were pretty much instructed to look for. Anything related to that . Yes, exactly. Anything related to bombmaking. Reporter they arrived en masse, right after daybreak. Unannounced, of course. Paul waited outside while each investigator took a piece of the house and in they went. I found some manila envelopes a copier and also a printer. Reporter the problem though was that pauls home, owned by the moore family, doubled as the farm office. Printers, copiers and envelopes were expected to be there, too. As you went around and you found those things, what were you thinking . We really want that one really, really good piece of of physical evidence. And what you found so far wasnt it . No. What did you find of probative value . Anything . I i didnt find anything. We took his cell phones. There were two cell phones in the car that but basically nothin . No. Reporter detective ruiz was assigned to the dining room, which clearly doubled as an office. What did you see . I saw a lotta paperwork. It was lots of papers. It was files everywhere on that table. Room was full of paper . Yes. Reporter the sun was just breaking over the horizon, long rays of Morning Light angled through the blinds. Detective ruiz was poking through all those papers and Office Supplies when a curious thing caught his eye. It was the way that almost horizontal beam of light glanced off a blank sheet of paper. I noticed that that white sheet of paper had several impressions on it. Impressions . Yes. You mean some writing on it yes. Like like when you draw something on a top sheet of paper and it goes through. To the next sheet down . Yes. And that got my attention right away. I picked it up and it was one of those moments where i was like, hm. I i turned different angles, the paper bowed in half. And it was one of those i was like, got chills goin back of my neck and just hair just standin up. Im like, no way. This this is not happening right now. And one of the officers that was helping us during the search actually looked at me. He goes, what are you lookin at, cause it was just a blank sheet of paper. And i was like, youre not gonna believe this. And i said, you need to go get detective salm, like now. And hes holding this white piece of paper in his hands. And hes like, look at this. And i immediately, im i i looked at this and im goin, oh my god. What hes holding in his hand is an indented copy of the diagram, an indented writing copy of the diagram that we received in the mail. Reporter this is the sheet of paper detective ruiz found. You can see the indentations of the bolt threads in the middle of the page about a third of the way down. And heres that same sheet of paper enhanced by the atf crime lab. And heres the original bomb diagram mailed to investigators back in august. Most amazing thing in the world. Unbelievable. Couldnt couldnt believe it. I mean, it exciting doesnt begin to describe elated maybe . Then what happened . I went out and arrested paul moore.

Few even knew he was a suspect. Mary, pauls cousin and petes sister, got a barrage of texts at work. It was bittersweet. There was a part of me that was relieved that it was over for pete, or that he wasnt, you know, mixed in with it. And at the same time, i was sad because its it was my cousin that we grew up with, you know, it was part of my family. My youngest sister mary called me on the phone and she goes, they just arrested paul for the murder of robert ayala. And i was in the middle of the parkin lot. And i fell to my knees and just started screaming. Reporter but, human nature is a funny thing. Suspicion, once embedded, is remarkably resistant to actual evidence that might disprove it. When paul moore was arrested and charged with the murder of Roberto Ayala, his cousin peter began to experience that particular phenomenon quite personally. Around town, people still seemed to believe pete was the murderer. Ironic, perhaps, that for all his bluster, pete has never been arrested, never been in trouble with the law, runs his own business, has been a good father, and, over the years has taken in wayward teens to give them a better start. Kids like nick hecker. Other foster parents do it for the money. Pete, he didnt ask for any money in return, he fed me, clothed me. He gave me a car to drive. And now i look at pete like a dad. And anybody who has anything bad to say about pete has never really took the time to get to know him because hes a good loving person with a huge heart and uh we need more petes in this world. Reporter so why were the cops so focused on pete to begin with . Well, as pete tells it, his cousin paul planned the whole thing. Set out to frame him. First by lying to him, telling him that roberto, robert as pete calls him, was out to steal his birthright. Paul would come over and tell me horrible stuff about ed and robert. Like, he said robert told paul that he was gonna get my share of what my dad was gonna leave me of the ranch. So paul would come over and say stuff to me and he knew he was gonna make me wanna go say somethin or fight with somebody reporter and pete . Said he was simply blind to pauls manipulation. When youre goin through your everyday life and someones set you up for over a year and a half, you dont know who to believe. And so it kept everybody at odds. Life was so spun outta control i couldnt figure out what was going on. Reporter but petes wife, mary ellen, said she could clearly see paul was baiting pete. He would talk to him all the time. And would when pete got home, would be upset about it . Oh yeah. Hed be angry, upset, telling us things that we didnt even know if they were true. Reporter dave and sue moore told investigators they too thought paul had been setting pete up. They talk a lot between themselves too, and i think paul has been able to manipulate peter. Reporter but pete just didnt see it. Didnt realize he was being played. By his cousin . That just couldnt be. We grew up together. We were together every day. Our parents bought us walkietalkies when we were seven and eight years old. And id sit in my back bedroom where my bedroom was, and he lived right down on the block the corner down there. And wed talk to each other till we went to sleep. Reporter but now peters cousin paul,the princeling, the golden boy, was about to go on trial for the murder of Roberto Ayala. And as for pete, the person who was treated in this town like he bore the mark of cain . Ive had several low points in my life, and theres no scale for this. This changes you forever. Reporter the next chapter wasnt a lift from the book of genesis. More like the story of jobe. Well, one thing thats kind of unique maybe or special about Colusa County is every time ive ever had a big case, i can go into almost any coffee shop or restaurant and, and theyre solvin it for me. And those things can get twisted pretty fast. They get twisted really fast. In this case, it was constantly, well, you know pete moore did it. You know pete moore did it. And my response was, well, thats not the direction im going in. Reporter not the direction at all. In fact, d. A. Poyner was about to put pete on the Prosecution Team as a key witness against paul. Making pete work with the same people who at one point were hoping to put him in prison. And that uncomfortable fact was irresistible catnip for pauls defense attorney petes first day on the stand. She said, youre a murderer, arent you, mr. Moore. Reporter it was pete, said the defense, pete who had the motive to kill one man and implicate another. A master plan that would give him everything he wanted. Peter is the one who has indicated, ive been in landscaping for 20 years, im broken down. I want to be in the farming operation.

Reporter in the months following Roberto Ayalas murder, investigators suspected peter moore was the bomber and built a case against him. So when peters cousin, paul was arrested, his defense asked an obvious question. What if the cops first instinct was correct . What if pete did it . Peter has animosity towards roberto. Peter has made threats to roberto. Peter is the one that wants into the farming operation. Reporter linda parisi, paul moores attorney, presented in court a mirror image of the states case. Acknowledging that one cousin was out to frame the other, only in her version of the story paul was the stooge and peter the mastermind. Peter is the one who has indicated, ive been in landscaping for 20 years, im tired, im broken down, i wanna be in the farming operation. What better way to take out roberto and to take out paul . Reporter to counter that argument the prosecution was forced to call pete as a witness, knowing that would make him a punching bag for parisi. She told me. She said, youre a murderer, arent you, mr. Moore. I said, those are your words, not mine. She thought that she could by grilling peter, that she would uncover the evil, the monster. Reporter assistant attorney general David Druliner was petes wrangler during the trial. I was completely satisfied that there was no monster to uncover, and so i, for the most part, let her go at him. Reporter a courtroom tactic not appreciated by pete. After the first day i said, you guys need to get this lady off of me. Shes like shes on me like a dog on a piece of raw meat. And they looked me right in the eye and said, theres nothin we can do for you. This is an open investigation and we have to let her ask anything or the juryll think were hiding stuff. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. One hour of his testimony felt like eight. I can tell you that. It was it was excruciating, because i knew what he was going through. And i was waitin for him to explode at any minute. Reporter pauls attorney, linda parisi, claimed that pete somehow planted the imprint of the bomb diagram in pauls home. Mr. Moore, who works at that desk daily, he never notices it . If hes your culprit, he never sees an indentation of a diagram he drew, and thinks, oh my gosh, thank god i saw that, let me get rid of it . I it just raises so many questions. It just beggars the imagination to think that peter would know enough about when the police are gonna arrive, and and know that some Junior Officers going to happen to notice this very faint little image of a diagram on a white piece of paper which he never wouldve seen if the light hadnt been just right on that table that afternoon. If im peter moore, and i engage in this, and they dont find it, all right, my plan didnt work. But if they do find it, its a home run for me. And and theres very little risk to me, peter, to engage in it. Its not like i have to break into the Police Department and tamper with some evidence. But pauls fingerprints were all over that piece of paper and peters were not. I would agree that that shows that this had been in the house and that he may have touched it, and in fact uh, leaned on it in such a way that the prints were situated likely that one would have leaned on it to reach over to open up the window. So it was very consistent with that. Reporter peter of course denied he placed that blank sheet of paper in pauls home. Said he hadnt been in pauls house in years. And then at the trial, defense attorney parisi played a wild card. She confronted pete with this a video, found on one of petes computers seized just days after the bombing. Slowmotion video of a rat trap snapping on carrots and the like. But ending on a burst of flame as the trap sets off a lighter. Just like a bomb. And i submit to you, this video, more or less comports with the diagram well, it shows a rat trap hitting a lighter, or something a rat trap, which is an unusual kind of triggering device. It shows a screw activating the rat trap, and then an incendiary component. Reporter so was pete investigating bombmaking ideas . Not a chance, countered the state. There is nothing on this hard drive that indicates to me that anyone was using it to research how to build explosives reporter kevin conde is the investigator who did the initial search of peter moores computer. Sometimes whats not there is more important than what is there. And what was not there was anything indicating someone was looking for directions on how to build a bomb. What i saw was somebody whos just surfin the internet aimlessly. There was nothing about that video that was tied into making a bomb. Reporter and pete told the court the laptop on which the video was found belonged to his son. Who was then forced to testify. Which did not sit well with pete. I tried to keep my kids away from this and um, once again they tied my hands behind my back and i had no choice. And so my son had to go on the stand. Reporter a sense of betrayal deeply felt by the man who speaks his mind. Everybody pretty much threw me to the wolves and, uh. For three days you were essentially on trial. I mean, your cousin was on trial for murder, but it was like you were on trial. Well, i was on trial. I was. I was on trial basically for my life. And i had no protection. Reporter with pete now off the stand, the Prosecution Team still had a case to make. But with limited evidence. They couldnt mention the dna found on the stamp, not conclusive. Nor could they tell the jury about pauls previous assault and intent to commit Rape Convictions in San Francisco. Not relevant. In addition linda parisi claimed there was no motive, no reason for paul moore to kill Roberto Ayala. For all of Law Enforcements investigation, they could not come up with anyone who said, i heard paul moore say he wanted to hurt roberto. Reporter no. But they did find this document on pauls computer titled my life. A rambling selfpitying screed. What did i do wrong to be treated this way. I think my dad really thinks i am stupid, he is always saying how smart robert is, but ultimately the trial came down to a single sheet of blank paper. Almost like a rorschach test for the jury. What would they see . Paul moores guilt . Or a plot to frame him . The verdict that would divide this tightknit town and rip apart this family all over again. We just started crying.

At his trial, here in sacramento, pauls defense attorney followed what was by now a familiar script she accused peter of murdering Roberto Ayala. Peter moore has a lifetime of making threats. Paul does not make threats to roberto. Paul works with roberto reporter which is how parisi presented paul to the jury. Of course, as you know, paul had a deeply troubled history with the law. A violent sexual offense in his background. But the jury didnt get to hear about that. Nor were they told about the dna, quite possibly pauls, that was found on the envelope containing the bomb diagram. Excluded. So would the jury see the same paul moore prosecutors saw . Hes almost like a marvel comic book arch villain, hes bright. Hes clever. Hes evil as can be. And hes got a flaw to him, his arrogance. Reporter the jury retired to think about it. And . They were not fooled. After just 5 hours of deliberation, they walked back into the courtroom and declared paul moore guilty of murder. The judge sentenced him to life in prison. I remember drivin away from the courtroom and my wife and i were together and we just started cryin. cause we knew it was over. You know, i did a job. I went in there, i i did my job. I told everything i knew. And it and it wasnt easy because i basically put away somebody who i loved. Reporter but pete is not so blind that he doesnt see how he was used by his boyhood playmate. The kid with whom he once spent those long, lazy, days on the river. The man he treated, and trusted, like a brother. What do you think pauls motive was . Whyd he kill robert . He used to always talk about, oh, that robert thinks hes so smart. And, so, by by killin him, he feels like, in his own mind, that he got one over on robert. I believe paul was tryin to finger me for doing it. And him and his dad would have the whole place to themselves. Thats what i believe today. Its the only thing that makes sense to me. Reporter pete wishes the moores could all go back to the beginning when the farm meant family. If i had it my way right now id be running the ranch. Grandkids would be over here and enjoy themselves, theyd all be like a family run business. Reporter but its just a fantasy, really. The familys divided more now than ever. Its almost like were all our own worst enemies. Ive asked people in the family, where does all the anger come from . Because its like the whole familys mad. I wish that there werent so much hate and anger in our family and that um, we just, everybody treated each other like a familys supposed to treat each other. Reporter throughout the trial pauls father, roger believed his son to be innocent and after the verdict declined to talk to us. His own son convicted of murdering the man who he treated like a son. Other members of the moore family declined our requests for interviews after the verdict. Even most of those who support pete said they didnt want to stir things up. I know some of the people that you talked to, and i know they backed out. And they called and told me. I respect them for calling and telling me. But its all about what possibly might come somebodys way, you know . Would it be fair for us to say that some members of the family are afraid to talk to us because theyre afraid they may be disinherited . Thats 100 true. Nobody wants to do whats right for fear of losing their chance at some money. Reporter though pete and his dad, whos had a number of strokes, have patched things up. Never too late. But will pete ever claim the inheritance . Who knows. No one knows what these wills say. We dont know what my dads will says. Would you want to have this farm . No. Why . Its too much anger. Reporter rumors, whispers and lies can come disguised as truth, in a nations capital, or a small town in the california valley. Whispers are still working their way around town. People still talk. What do you hear em say . I guess the most recent one was, well, pete must have at least been involved. So, theyve moved some. Reporter one of the reasons District Attorney poyner agreed to speak to us was to make perfectly clear to his friends and neighbors that peter moore was in no way involved in Roberto Ayalas murder. And i get the feeling that some people are mad it wasnt me, when youre looked at as a murderer, its not like you can go out there and voice your opinion to somebody. Because youre a murderer. No onell take me serious anymore. And, where i go from here . I dont know. I want peace in my life. I wanna be left alone. Whats the moral behind all of this, if there is one . Wow. Thats a big question. Its just, theres so much involved here. Id say the moral of the story is, be happy with what you have. Respect the family that you do have. Reporter and the ayalas . I was relieved i didnt have to look over my shoulder any more. I knew at that point that everybody was safe. Reporter since their fathers murder, jesus went back to college. Hes getting a degree in criminal justice. Paola graduated from high school works at the local hardware store, has also enrolled in college. And fabian . The boy who ran for miles through those fields of sunflowers trying to save his dads life. Is 10 now, a disciplined athlete, plays football, baseball, soccer, and wanted to talk to us about his dad. What did he want for you . A a good career. Did you talk about that with him . Yes. He t he told me to be study hard. What do you want the world to know about your father . That he was a g a good person. Like, he would always wanna do things. He would take me out when he had something to do. You were the apple of his eye, i bet you. Yes. You love to be with him . Yeah. Reporter two families in the great Fertile Valley of california. One of them worth millions of dollars. And the other, far more. 10 seconds 5 seconds [ drum playing ]
