this is a video from their wedding day. a messy divorce followed a few years later. dave salm: so david and susan moore came into our office. keith morrison (voiceover): susan moore is dave s wife. keith morrison: what did they say when they got into the office? the first thing they told us was a wiretapping incident. wiretapping? yes. keith morrison (voiceover): dave and sue claimed paul tapped his wife s phone to spy on her during divorce negotiations. and sure enough, here are the court documents. in 1997, paul was arrested on four counts related to tapping both his wife s and in-law s phones. he pleaded guilty to one count of electronic eavesdropping, a felony. the other charges were dropped, and paul served no jail time. but the wiretapping story was just a prologue to what they were really there to talk about.
like he said robert told paul that he was gonna get my share of what my dad was gonna leave me of the ranch. so paul would come over and say stuff to me, and he knew he was gonna make me want to go say something or fight with somebody. keith morrison (voiceover): and pete said he was simply blind to paul s manipulation. when you re going through your everyday life and someone s set you up for over a year and a half, you don t know who to believe, and so it kept everybody at odds. and my life was so spun out of control, and i couldn t figure out what was going on. keith morrison (voiceover): but pete s wife, mary ellen, said she could clearly see paul was baiting pete. he would talk to him all the time. and when pete got home, would he be upset? oh yeah, he d be angry, upset, telling us things that we didn t even know if they were true. keith morrison (voiceover): dave and sue moore told investigators they, too, thought paul had been setting pete up.
i think he felt his dad treated robert better than pete got treated when he worked there. he said something about his dad taking him out of the will. reporter: one thing, though. paul, like his second cousin dave, didn t think that pete was capable of making that bomb. somebody must have helped him. i just don t think pete has the technical ability to do it. unless he seriously had some help. okay. so this type of thing was done by somebody who is pretty intelligent, maybe got some know-how? well, that s kind what was you guys said, and i i think that s right. who do you think is capable of reporter: but remember, paul s exinlaws told detective salm that paul was more likely the guilty party. probably 90% paul. reporter: so now the detective turned the tables a
enough to get him charged with roberto ayala s murder. far from it. but it was enough to get some people in town whispering. rumors run. rumors are like bad smell. they move fast. reporter: eduardo heard those rumors. heard that maybe paul had something to do with roberto s murder. which placed eduardo in the hitchcockian situation of working side by side with the man who may have murdered his brother. i d look at him just like i m looking at you, i talked to him just like i m talking to you, and in the back of my mind i m thinking, you re the one that did it. reporter: and while that dna result from the stamp wasn t strong enough to hold up in court, it was significant enough to get a warrant to search paul s home. for whatever that was worth, five long months after the bombing. he had done some kind of major cleaning of his house. so we d actually had conversation about this and reporter: like a what s the point conversation? that was one of the things
pete s first day on the stand. he said, you re a murderer, aren t you, mr. moore? the defense points the finger at pete, who they say has the motive to kill one man and implicate another. a master plan that would give him everything he wanted. coming up peter is the one who has indicated, i ve been in landscaping for 20 years, i m broken down, i want to be in the farming operation. what better way to take out roberto and to take out paul? when family business continues. billions of mouths.
