the world blows up. almost surreal. no one can say that they forgive the devil.? hello and welcome to dateline. heather bogle was thrilled to get a job at the local whirlpool factory, even if it meant working the graveyard shift. this way her days were still free for her daughter. then the young mother was murdered. the search for her killer would quickly lead to a handful of suspects, but heather s family had their doubts. soon, the family would find officials were hiding a mountain of dirty laundry. here s josh mankiewicz with jagged. there aren t too many places left in this country where you ll find americans still making the things americans use. one of them is this plant in northern ohio. inside these walls is where an astonishingly long and twisting trail began. by the time it ended, it had touched a shattered family, a stunned law enforcement agency and a surprisingly large collection of potential suspects whose names became known to all. often o
Between carmella and josh being involved? i did. they were the only two that made sense in my mind. jen said it was common knowledge that carmella and heather fought. and they d fight about what usually? it was mostly jealousy stuff. something else that implicated carmella, said jen, was the way heather s killer cut her hair. heather dyed her hair a lot and it was kind of fried, and she didn t think carmella liked her hair. i just instantly was like, her hair s cut off. what do you mean? who would touch her hair? you know, nobody made sense except for carmella. jen and pat shared their feelings with detective o connell. to an investigator, when you have somebody s hair cut, they re doing it as a means of getting even or doing it as a means of anger, frustration. add to that the note from carmella found in heather s car. i remember telling her, you re dead to me, in the note.
detective sean o connell had what he thought were three, possibly four, good suspects in heather bogle s murder. the way he saw it, she had been the victim of a drug deal that had turned violent. but heather s sister jen and her cousin pat thought o connell was way off base. was heather involved in drugs? no. she smoked pot but she never did any kind of other drugs. less than a spoonful. [laughs] it was to help her anxiety. your family and the sheriff s department were very much not on the same page. that came pretty quickly. very quickly. i d say about a month into it. jen and pat thought o connell should be looking closer to home a lot closer. and at someone with whom heather had a volatile relationship. that person was heather s brother josh feasel. they were fighting a lot. oh, yeah. according to jen, josh sent heather an ugly text message just hours before heather went missing, berating her for failing a nursing exam. too
heather bogle sliced up each day into a life-sized jigsaw puzzle. after clocking out at whirlpool around 6:00 a. m., she d sleep during the day, waking in time to pick up mckenzie from day care. and then the two could have an evening together until the spin cycle began again around 10:00 p. m. her factory job made it all possible. heather s cousin, pat harger, was also a co-worker. i remember the day she got her first check. she was overjoyed. and she was thrilled. you know what i mean? almost like she hit the lottery. that schedule went like clockwork until april 9th, 2015. that s heather punching out at 6:17 a. m., wearing a whirlpool t-shirt. we don t know for sure what happened next. we do know she didn t pick up mckenzie later that day. at first, jen thought maybe heather had overslept.
Mission. her main focus was always her daughter. heather s younger sister, jen. she wasn t too concerned about getting into a relationship. it was more being responsible and taking care of her kid, making sure she was working enough hours to support them both. you look up to her? yeah, she was more like a parent to me than she was a sister. even though she was only 18 months older? yeah, because she always looked out for me. at 28, heather bogle was mostly looking out for her 5-year-old daughter, mckenzie. heather had never married mckenzie s father, and sister jen says heather s romantic life had never really worked as well as her professional one. there was definitely a lot of guys who wanted to be her boyfriend. she was very pretty. when everybody says, like, her smile was the best smile they ever seen, that is completely true. carmella badillo was the closest of close friends. when i say that she made an impact on people, she touched their soul, not their he
