this is dateline. the first time i saw her, i thought she was beautiful. we just loved being together, we were always together. our kitchen back door was opened and the glass was broken. i need an ambulance now. my wife, oh my god. it was him who found her. i said i don t know how to handle that. i wish i could ve been there to protect her. a wife murdered, and later, a husband under suspicion. he was such a nice guy that you would ve never guess that he would ve done something like that. you think he faked that burglary and killed his wife? yes. he wanted the house, he wanted her money, and if he divorced her, he would lose everything. in court, a stunning verdict. this could not be happening, i did not kill my wife. but more stunning still was what came after, a mysterious witness with a secret. this is a woman who essentially says i saw the murderer. and it wasn t tom folly. would her story be the ultimate twist? hello and welcome to dateline.
they were all old barn windows that i was trying to clean out. and i went to grab them and one of them slipped out of my grip and smashed on the back porch steps they made a lot of noise? yeah, it did. but detective carbon wasn t buying tom s explanation. the boys were playing over by this barn? yes. and how far is that to the house? it s practically 75 yards. mr. foley claims he was dropping a window, but that s enough for that sound that far? in my opinion, that could ve happened. police also say the they carefully searched that area around the back porch. there was no glass that we could see when we looked at the scene on that particular night, as well as the next day. for dar s sisters the writing was on the wall, they were certain of their brother in law s guilt. we went over every case we could come up with to not make it tom. i think tom resented dar.
just something out i had turn around. then less than 24 hours after the verdict, tom foley s defense team got a phone call from a woman. this is a woman who essentially says, i saw the murderer and it wasn t tom foley. coming up. there s the killer. right there. she saw him. a bombshell from out of the blue. was there hope for a newly-convicted husband, when dateline continues.
