do this awful thing? right. the only know what you are there for. you can have somewhat of an opinion. even though she accepted the deal, barbara was not happy. true, there is no prison time, but she was a felon now. you have a. title over your head. it s life-changing. it s very life-changing. these were just hard to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth? yes, i do. detective velazquez joined david s family at barbara sentencing hearing. you are keep stipulation and the fact it s a guilty plea? yes, judge. okay. judge, for the record, david jackson s mother would like to speak. judy? of course. david s mother right a victim impact statement. because if you barbara, i cried endlessly for 24 years. i ve wanted to die myself to be with david. her gaze fixed on the woman her son once loved. you are guilty.
and the story wolfe told according to the ex, implicated more than just himself. here s what happened as he heard it. wolfe and harry britton, barbara s father, granted a motel room on that long ago july night. invited david to a meeting there. and when he gets at the hotel, they have a very small conversation. and michael shot david in the head. he told me he had to get so drunk to do it. and that was the first shot didn t kill him. he had to shoot him again. afterwards, as nancy related the story they did take his car to the airport and left it there. then they took him over to, i mean, there was an empty lot there. and that s worth he buried him. he did not spare the detail, said nancy. and he did tell me he poured some corrosive, and i think it was a lie, is what he said, over the body.
keep david away from their son, was a full partner in his murder. where are the chances that either michael wolfe or harry britton forced her to take part in this scheme? forced? yeah. you don t have to force a willing participant. and you believe she was willing? yes. the detectives couldn t help remembering she said when barbara told her when she heard that david s bones had been identified. strangely enough, first thing she said to me was, how many bones do you have? come on. she had participated in retrieving those bones. and they thought they had gotten them all. when they had left about 50% behind. all this time, said the detective, she just knew barbara had been lying. and now she had the goods. we asked barbara about all this, of course. about her ex husband s allegations that she was deeply involved in the murder. but she denied it.
anybody who would listen. including the local police. to whom wolfe sent a letter. which he claimed all he knew of a crime centered on a conversation with his ex-wife barbara s father, harry. a few months before the murder. stephen kemp was a reporter with broward palm beach new times and read michael s letter. all michael would add mitt to was meeting harry near a park over the place where david s bones would later come out of the grounds. michael wolf said that he had basically pointed over to that plot of land and said, well, if you needed to bury a body, that would be a good place to do it. and then he concluded his letter with, and i don t know if he had listened or not. apparently, he did. if michael wolfe had really not known anything beyond that point to get him off the hook. it would leave it all in the hands of harry britton. so, michael was pretty pinning the murder on the one by harry. who was safely dead and could tell no tales. but now detective velazquez
a conversation years later with her father. i m like, i wonder what he s doing. i wonder if he s coming back. i wonder where he s at. what happened? he just be like, you don t have to worry. he s not around to bother you. what was that like to deal with? very, very rough. it s like, he s my dad. my dad. i could accept it. what satisfaction did it get? did it satisfy him? because it sure did is satisfy me. still, in december 2007, it was detective velazquez who got what she wanted. she worked hard to prove what she believed to be true. that barbara was an integral part of the plot to kill david jackson. and finally, now, barber britton was arrested and charged with murder. now, perhaps, a jury could answer the question. do you believe this woman? a woman whose hands literally shook. who s tears flowed at the mere mention of her departed
