crib where 7-month old alex was sleeping. and, overweight and out-of-shape, said todd, he was fighting for his life with his much fitter wife. it was a long, long, long protracted struggle. uh-huh. i don t know how long, but it was a long time. she s a very strong girl. uh-huh. she s an extremely strong girl. and she had me on the bottom. and she was on top of me. like, back and forth between bottom and top in this struggle over the scissors reporter: then, he said, he finally overpowered her, got control of those scissors. i was able to get them turned around onto her. uh-huh. and give her some jabs. she was injured at this point, but probably not seriously. uh-huh. i poked her in the eye really hard and got her to break free. reporter: he retreated, he said, as quick as he could. and i got up and got out of there and then ran to my car. got to my car and thought, get out of here. i thought, oh, my god. i didn t realize. get the children, get the children ou
murder of rachel winkler. my heart breaks for those children. i wish i could hug them all and tell that i m so sorry that i didn t press harder to make them open this case or be that strong person that i was. i apologize. reporter: and some day, said don hatfield, he ll find the words to tell the story to rachel s children, ariel, alex and eva.
baby alex s onesie was examined. and you know that there are drip blood, like being droplet blood, up on top of that onesie. that s how we know that rachel was holding that baby. reporter: then todd came back. she s in the corner there. she kicks at him. reporter: didn t stop him. he bear crawls up her body. he takes those scissors, and this ex-fighter pilot jams them into her neck, and he sits there and lays there on top of her while she slowly dies. reporter: after that, for seven hours, todd cleaned up, said the prosecutor, then took his kids to the neighbor s house. and then, after dropping the kids at the neighbor s, but before the cops arrived, he took the time to cut his hands, to make it look as if he d been attacked by rachel. how did they know the cuts were self-inflicted? the neighbor said his hands weren t cut when he dropped off
from jail, he and his family fought a losing battle with rachel s father, don hatfield, who won custody of those children. and here began atoning for the sins of his youth by devoting his life to three little kids, eva, ariel and alex. it was after all that that they held the trial. prosecutor lisette suder intended to portray todd as a manipulative and devious man who murdered not one wife but two. that is if she could persuade a california judge to allow an old georgia case to be dusted off and brought back to life.
