would not believe, because we went two years nonstop, kelli, kelli, kelli, kelli. do you think this case ever would have been solved without you? no. i don t think that nick would have ever told anyone, unless they were his friend. but he did tell me. for the family of kelli bordeaux, the loss, the pain, the sorry never goes away. but david marshburn at least gave them a chance to heal. he ended a suffering for my family, where we re sitting here agonizing for these last two years. he was the one that was able to come in and end that for us and to make it to where you can try to start rebuilding and doing things that will make kelli proud and to live your life. the family also had something for david marshburn, a very special gift from kelli. kelli s dog tags, which, that s a great honor in itself. this is a very important thing. yeah.
off and say, you tell me or i ll chop another one off. i wanted to torture him because i knew he knew. you really would have done that? i hated him that bad. i despised him. he really got into your head. i wouldn t say he got into my head, i spent so much money, almost lost my family, almost lost the favorite thing i had. marshburn didn t resort to torture, but he did need a new tactic, something that would finally make holbert share his deadly secret. coming up marshburn finds a new pressure point. that was his achilles heel. but will it work? is the mystery about to be solved? this is it? this is it. when deep in the woods continues. woods continues. follow me.
enlisting a friend who owned a vehicle that looked like an unmarked police car. he had him park near holbert s house and conduct surveillance, fake surveillance. it worked like a charm because he saw him right out the gate when he come outside and got paranoid. so paranoid that marshburn tried yet another trick to push holbert to give it up. he had his wife pose as a paralegal and drop phony indictment papers charging holbert with kelli s murder. i took one of his old charges, changed who the detective was, changed the charges. he was being indicted and i got cc, my paralegal person on the phone who is your wife? yeah, who is helping me. the plan was working good and he was worried. holbert took one look at the indictment papers and went into a panic. sensing nick was near his breaking point marshburn reminded him about the sweetheart plea deal if he
released from jail after being locked up from that parole violation. if holbert was happy, david marshburn was thrilled, because now he could deal with him face to face. just a day after his release, marshburn holed up at the house where holbert was staying. i ve never talked to a killer. have you? i work for dateline. were you worried he would kill you? i didn t fear him because i don t fear anybody. nobody is big or gad enough, it s the man upstairs i m worried about. so it s more like, i want to get this right, i want to solve this. and if you do one thing wrong, it turns to hell. marshburn took a deep breath and knocked on the door. he answered the door. i said, hey, nick, i m david
it was justin f. case. honorable justin f. case. just-in-case. did he believe it? he believed it to a point, but then he threw it back at me after looking at it for five minutes, and he said, no, they ll just take it back. marshburn thought that wasn t exactly the reaction of an innocent man. now he was fully convinced nick holbert had killed kelli, but he needed to get holbert to reveal where he buried her body. how can i get to be his friend? i had to say some crap i just didn t believe, but i had to do it to play the part. marshburn bought holbert countless meals, beers, even hired him to do odd jobs, slowly becoming a bff. or maybe more of a frenemy. but marshburn said he paid a high price as he practically
