the pace of this investigation was about to speed up. here s keith morrison with more. i really thought it was a random act. a home invasion. so during the course of that day, you were completely buffaloed? correct. while the investigation raced forward, the polk county sheriff s office told justin michael s family virtually nothing. didn t tell them they d found the man who sold the murder weapon, nor that they had to figure out who he actually sold it to. because surely whoever bought the gun must have been the killer. i asked him at that point to look at the photo line-ups. the first set of six photographs i showed him contained the photograph of david moffitt. mr. bahlmann looked at it and he said, i can t be 100% certain. he said, the guy had a hat on, had sunglasses on. he goes, i wish i would have had him take it off. then he pointed at the picture of david moffitt and said, i m 90% sure that s the person that i sold the gun to. what happened when he looked at th
uh-huh. in his closing, prosecutor steve foritano told the jury what must have happened. david moffitt, i think, was obviously fixated on angie ver huel. that she broke off with him, which caused him some pain and hurt. and then that wound was probably reopened when he started working with justin. and justin wound up getting engaged. and david, obviously, would be concerned about the fact that it was justin that was with angie. and that he couldn t be with her because of him. so he gradually formed a plan that somehow he was going to get rid of justin, possibly even get angie back again. i realize that there is a very high bar to cross to to be considered insane by the legal system. but that s pretty crazy, isn t it? well, he had a goal. and he worked to achieve that goal. so his trying to commit this murder, trying to plan and make
offender that lived within a few blocks of the crime scene. so it appeared to us, once we made that connection, that that was just another attempt to cast the blame for this on somebody else. so convicting david moffitt of first-degree murder would surely be about as easy a task as a prosecutor could ask for. or maybe not. coming up the trial begins and everyone will learn new details about the night of the murder. it s just unfathomable still. that s pretty crazy, isn t it? when the shadow continues. , your plans can change in minutes. your head wants to do one thing, but your gut says, not today. if your current treatment isn t working, ask your doctor about entyvio. entyvio acts specifically in the gi tract to prevent an excess
and inside? no, they didn t find the murder weapon. but they did find these strange notes, seemed to have been written by someone who had been watching justin and angie s neighborhood. those surveillance notes listed addresses in the immediate area around the crime scene. and they were very specific about when neighbors were turning on and off their lights. the creek behind the house is is it wide enough where i can jump across that? obviously, it looked like a way to make an escape once the murder was done. reporter: but then they found what looked like the mother lode a bill of sale. it was in andy wegener s name. reporter: yeah. but there it was in david moffitt s house. reporter: that is, the bill of sale for a 9mm carbine. and the name on the document, bold as brass, was indeed andy wegener. how was that remotely possible? it s more evidence to suggest that there s some sort of conspiracy involved here. it s too early to really rule anybody out.
