when the results of terry s dna test came back from the lab it didn t match samples from the crime scene. police also found out he was nowhere near brit any s apartment at the time of the murder. his alibi was airtight. he really ended up not being much of a player in the case once they ruled him out. eldridge was cleared of any wrongdoing. norman clark had been questioned and released too. if police had any leads they were holding them close. i was curious why they were being so particularly tight-lipped about it. i think my primary concern was that this was just a case that was going to get shelved. that s exactly what brittany s family feared most too. that she and the baby she was carrying would be forgotten. we are her voice. we have to keep her memory alive. a full year passed. then two. with no arrests. but investigators were still working the case. in part because they heard from someone with inside information, someone unexpected, the victim herself.
other relationships at the same time he was with brittany. when we sat down with him, norman said he loved sex and women. lots of women. how many women were you seeing at the time? maybe 15 to 20. norman, that s a lot of women. i was single and i m very friendly person. they knew that i was not looking for a relationship so friends with benefits. how do you even meet that many ladies? through work, online dating sites. were you sleeping around with multiple co-workers? yes. did that ever get messy. no, ma am. seems a little odd that all these women were okay with you sleeping with all these other women. i wouldn t be okay with that. but maybe i m old fashioned. well, i mean with different women that i met, they accepted what it was because i was honest
robin owens will never forget the day she learned her daughter did not show up for work. it s unusual for her because she always showed up even if she didn t feel good. she would be there so i just knew something was wrong. her fear became a terrifying reality the moment she stepped into her daughter s unlocked apartment. the whole place is just a mess and i don t see her anywhere. i m scared to death. without taking another step she called 911. emergency. what is it? my daughter, her work just called me and i came over to her apartment and it looks like it s been trashed. i ran out of the apartment because i m scared and the 911 operator, she said, you know, go back in there and see if you can find her. inside the front door seen here in this police video robin saw brittany s flat screen tv lying on the floor. oh, my gosh. what? ma am, what?
robin was in shock. the pain was more than she could bear. at the scene a police cruiser s dash cam captured an officer trying to console her. oh god, i can t believe this happened. why? it s the worst horror a mother could ever have to witness. it is and you wouldn t think anything like that would happen in a million years and all at once just in a flash your life just changed. brittany eldridge had been stabbed in the throat they found her next to her bed. her naked body partially covered by lingerie. she was just 25 years old. the unborn boy she named zeke was gone too. after the shock has worn off, you must be thinking who did this? i m thinking how in the world could somebody murder a young lady that is 8 1/2 months pregnant. you know, how could somebody be so cruel? i m thinking, why? that s a question that s never answered is why.
told him if you don t come get him, i will take care of him myself. were you being serious. i was being dead serious. despite the family s frustration, the case was moving forward. and almost 2 1/2 years after brittany was killed, prosecutors presented their evidence to a grand jury. they charged norman clark with the murders of both brittany and their unborn son. clark was arrested on may 14th, 2014. he pleaded not guilty. when you re arrested for something you didn t do and then there s no evidence to even show that you should have been arrested that s when things hit hard. that s when i really got scared. norman clark had reason to be scared. if convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. coming up they ve taken a good young man and they ve destroyed his life. norman clark on trial. and on the stand i thought he was my boyfriend.
