scott horn s death, his estranged wife, anne, was quickly emerging as a prime suspect. police spoke with neighbors like cindy and marty. you thought it was anne from the get-go? i did. yes. they say that anne seemed aggressive. and never missed a chance to spread what they say were lies. about scott. this is anne allen. i want to give you a quick call. this is a voice mail that anne left several months before he was killed. he is brutal. and he, because he ran the streets until he, i married him at age 37. he was nothing but a man whore. another neighbor shared with
the crutch and the cane would come and go. i really, neighbors saw her before and after, walking around, she was fine. i mean, a person in her 60s? absolutely. but she s not incapable of committing the crime. the jury heard about the wood chips in the washer except, anne s dna was not on them. just scotts. in fact, prosecutors couldn t prove that her dna was on scott s body at all. the jury s like dna. they like dna. you didn t have it? i didn t have it. did you go with ibuprofen or advil every night? wine. the defense thought prosecutors had every reason to worry. because they said, there is zero proof that anne killed scott. they argue that the whole investigation was a classic case of tunnel vision. i think 100 percent, from the moment that detective henderson arrived on the scene,
and she says don t blame anne for that. why was it such a toxic place? and why didn t anyone want to leave? i think a lot of the issues that developed between anne and scott. actually arose from the daughter. and anne had a difference of opinion from scott had to deal with kelly. despite an s long hours at work. lauren paints her as an involved parent, scott as overly permissive. and kelly as an out-of-control teen. there were many allegations that ann made against kelly. that kelly was physically violent with anne. kelly denies all of that and says her mom lied. so was anne mean, and violent? her lawyer says not at all. she was just a mom who s trying to compensate for her husband s lacks parenting.
she says that scott turned her daughter against the mom. aunts and police found no proof that anne had ever bought a gun. and as for what neighbors and friends thought and heard? lauren says that anne was just trying to defend her reputation. and get a fair settlement. she knew that scott was going around telling individuals their personal business. painting a terrible picture of who she was as a wife and a mother. lauren says that she hoped the police suspicion of anne would subside. it did not. once again, body cams were rolling on june 30th, 2017. police, open the door. hi, put your hands behind your back. we have an arrest warrant. at a hotel two and a half miles from their former home. she was arrested for scott s murder. jason bird was later arrested as well. it was a weight off of our shoulders. you know? that something is finally going to be done.
impossible, says anne s friend. rita lupinkski. she and anne went to school together. and she said that anne s march is marked by her goodness other. she was very kind hearted, very compassionate. she says that anne used that kind heart and compassion over her 30 year career as a nurse. part of it at walter reed national medical center. she would tell me how, sometimes, she would actually hum or softly sing to her patients. whether they were soldiers or infants. isn t that what you not typically associate with someone who is a murder? correct. the divorce attorney said that the picture that police were getting was clouded by a tumultuous marriage, and a bitter divorce.
