His beautiful wife, dead in their bedroom. Something very violent had occurred here. You with the the bullet holes in the wall. Had he been Keeping Secrets . He was living two different lives. Maybe someone else had secrets, too. We asked derek, can you turn on the tv . Up comes the menu for a page. I started shaking my finger at it, thats not mine. The chilling crime. , killer running out of time. Air falling, swirling, into a witchs brew of pure misery.

i didn t even care. they asked me if i had any relationships on the side, and i fessed up to it right then and there. that was the least of my worries, knowing that i d done that. i wanted them to find who killed her. reporter: still investigators couldn t overlook the possibility that derrick had hired someone to kill kim. did you worry that they might think that you could have enlisted some help? no. reporter: hired someone? i knew that i could account for my whereabouts. i didn t know how they could even think i was an accomplice to something like that, no. reporter: he said he was an open book with investigators. in fact, when they asked if anyone else knew the layout of his home, besides his pal lance, derrick gave them another name. joshua veal. josh was a young man, just somebody that needed a job. didn t have a whole bunch of construction experience and everything. but i always needed someone to help clean up and
