unfortunately, the surveillance camera at the atm was not functioning properly so it was impossible to tell who made the withdrawal. then, investigators noticed something on the local news cast. this man, one of denise s neighbors, kept turning up in various news stories about her disappearance. this behavior raining struck police as odd because he wanted to be in front of the camera. and he wanted to be interviewed. in an interview given before denise s body was found he made a surprising reference. she was very quiet, you know. i would talk to her, say hi, sometimes, she just wouldn t say nothing. she always kept to herself. what was most interesting was he referred to denise in the past tense. his name was luis caballero. and he was denise s next door
or lizard. the killer will have association with the size 36 belt, because that is what we found around the victim s body. the sand found in denise s car was similar to the sand found near her body. proof, denise s car had been used to transport her body. investigators knew that she had been kidnapped somewhere between 2:30 and 5:30 on the day she disappeared. her neighbors say they didn t hear or see anything suspicious. strange, i have no clue. later that same day someone used denise s atm card to withdraw $700 from her checking account. the working assumption at this point for the cops was that whoever used that atm card probably killed denise o neill.
caballero, was tied to the sexual assault. based on the forensic evidence and witness interrogations, investigators believe that caballero planned the attack on an afternoon when denise was doing her laundry. when no one was around. he grabbed her and forced her into his apartment. and with isaac brown s help gagged and tied her up. he took her atm card and forced her to divulge her pin number. caballero then left to get some money and on the way back picked up robert messer. isaac brown stayed behind.

a soda bottle in denise s car. proof he was involved. despite brown and caballero s conflicting versions of what happened their stories were identical on one count. they had breakfast together just hours after dumping denise s body in the canal. they went to an i-hop restaurant. investigators tracked down the receipt for that meal. when it asked for the waitress to enter how many customers were present, it didn t say two customers. it said three customers. this explained why the 36 inch belt used to wrap around denise s body didn t fit caballero or brown, and why the shoes without the shoe laces in caballero s apartment also didn t fit either one, as well. that led me to believe very strongly that i had a third killer.
