your fiancée had just been killed, but she s calm somehow? she seemed very calm. but he was either a but boy front on the side, a love triangle. but on the dark highway, the case will take a dramatic turn. there was my body, on edge. were you nervous? extremely nervous. a mysterious driver carrying ominous cargo. how did he explain that? at that time, you don t. it suggests that there s a conspiracy? unraveling a mind bending plot reveals the shattering truth. inhuman is the only word i can think of, inhuman to do something like that. it was a moonless night in iowa, 4:00 in the morning. the quietest of quiet hours. a small town cop went down an empty highway, found for the early shift at his rural police department. that s when he saw at the corner of his eye, what s that in the ditch? maybe 30 yards off the highway, a car? in trouble? he swung around, somebody clearly missed a curve on the gravel access road. the driver s door hanging opened, the
david. and who was he? sometimes local accountant for one thing but the sign of all wealthy iowa far farm family. not very memorable said angie, just a guy who liked having fun, though there was a remarkable coincidence, a couple of months after she stops in david and just before she got engaged with justin, david got a job in the same small unit of the same department of the same office building as justin. david left months before the murder but really what where the chances? their desks were feet apart. and did he know that justin was dating you? he figured out that justin was dating me. justin told his parents about it. he just said it was an awkward situation, but there was no problem. the alignment of that was astronomical 10,000 people here in des moines, what are the odds that they would be in the same
present, he never reached an attorney. david wouldn t talk, but it hardly mattered, the evidence they already had was enough to arrest him and charged him with first degree murder. by now detectives understood that angie had nothing to do with the murder in what s seemed like a lack of emotion, and worries to, was shock. pure shock. in fact the thought that david could be the man who killed the love of her life hit and she while she was still being questioned and finally after her apparent with calm she was overcome. when dave came up, we talked about that and the detective came back with a picture of him. do you know this person? that s dave. and i said dogs him, and i immediately started shaking of and was visibly upset. what if you had something to

was that close. and here you were, oblivious, living to the happiest days of your life. yes. in his closing, prosecutor steve told jury what must have happened. david was obviously fixated on angie, she broke off with him and that caused him some pain and hurt, and then that wound would reopened when he started working with justin and justin wound of getting engaged and david 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 high bar to cross to be considered in the same, by the legal system, but that s pretty crazy, isn t it? well, he had a goal and he
