said jack, he was miles away at his own house. i was on the roof trying to put some shingles on. that alibi would have to be checked out. but even before detective brooks had a chance to do that, other members of the family came down to the police station and told them, don t be fooled by jacques tiers. he was angry, and possibly violent man. he said i will ruin you and your family. he said, for y all accusing me of this. he said, i will see you burned. this is michele s that carl, the man had been cursing jack out on the street right at the murder scene. if that s what you re, asking i d point it at jack. detective brooks could point litzy this was a family with a troubled history. so they made a decision, to attend marc des plaines visitation, take a look around, see what s his got would tell him. as i know in your case while,
something? possibly. they asked around the neighborhood, did anyone see any strangers that afternoon? and, yes, someone did. investigators told prosecutor an african american was seen in the neighborhood wearing a certain colored shirt. later somebody said they saw and aged and beat up blue mercedes circling the neighborhood. so, thieves casing the? house maybe. but yet, as detective brooks looked around the house, he could see this just didn t have the hallmarks of a robbery. the valuable stuff, tv, sets guns, computers, were untouched. and, look at this photo, sitting next to mark skis and cell phone on the kitchen island, a container of ice cream. person just walked in and set these items down and was caught totally off-guard. all of that seemed like a plan ambushed, just up to look like
they could easily see her coating her father into planning a murder. michelle is a sociopath. she s absolutely cares nothing about anyone or anything but my shell. what an allegation, if true. as it happened, detective brooks was pretty sure he saw an effort by the grieving widow to manipulate him. in the interview room, of course, right after the murder. all that emotion in her voice . it seemed like an act to him. there were no tears. no tears. but her voice suggests position captured on the 9-1-1 call, surely that was real. maybe not. one of michel s neighbor saw her standing calmly in the middle of the lawn. they see women standing out
heard her story change, become more elaborate, the investigation was dropped. and tana, riven with guilt for ever suspecting jack abused his granddaughter, went back to him and begged forgiveness. the man i ve been married to for over 30 years and went to high school with and then doubting him and knowing i shouldn t have. but marc and michelle, believing the girl, never spoke to his mom and dad again, cut them off from the grandkids, disowned marc s sister when she took jack s side. i believed dad 100%. i don t believe he had anything to do with it. so that was the ugly backdrop to the murder investigation. and detective brooks would have to figure out if this years-old unproven allegation had so eaten away at marc s dad that it pushed him over the edge. time to meet potential suspect number 1. i m going to close that door, mr. despain. detective brooks sat down with jack in an interrogation
there were chunks of texts missing from carl s phone and from michelle s phone. anything interesting or suspicious about the fact that they were missing from both phones? immediately was suspicious. on the day her dad was arrested detective brooks invited michelle back to the police station and asked her point blank. did you have anything to do with the murder of your husband? no, sir. no, sir. but she admitted she was hiding something. anything at all that you need to get off your chest to me, michelle? just that i was seeing a guy that my dad didn t know that. marc didn t i mean, nobody knew that. nobody knew that. seeing a guy? an affair? it all tumbled out. how michelle was dipping into family finances to pay for her lover s apartment, for his groceries. you have to understand i m very ashamed of this. so maybe marc was on to her, was about to find out what michelle was doing behind his back.
