her family they had recalled that tricia went with a guy way back when. a guy named daniel perez. have you ever heard that name in all the years trying to figure out who lack after? was daniel perez. goodwin immediately contacted the local authorities, and it turned out that there was a record of daniel perez. and it mugshot. the fact that to me that day. i remember one ron finally got the facts from taxes, and i snatch it out of his hands and say, where did you get that? it was obvious that it was the person that we knew as lou castro. of course now we know they are daniel perez. lou castro was daniel perez. born in a taxes in 19 that in the mid 1990s but the cases had been dismissed because he was believed to be dead. the person believed in south access to be dead for many years. he was not dead because you saw him in wichita.
not occur. castro s fingerprints did not show up on any of the federal databases, even after a six hour interview, he did not crack. so, after the search warrant, after the trip, we came back to wichita partly happy because we had arrested lou castro. but we did still do not know who was at that. point so one castro pleaded guilty to i.d. fraud, and was sentenced to two years in federal prison, goodwin believe that was just a ploy to avoid much bigger his charges. really serious crimes over many years. he was determined to get to the truth. seven years after opening up his investigation into angels landing, he sent off to the place that he believed blue castro s to criminal journey began. and last found castro s true identity. coming up the discovery that would case the breakthrough case wide open. i statutory his hands and say work you get that? when dateline continues. n dateline continues
property. what did you find in the house? normal things, paper documents, computers, 11 weapons, guns inside the house. any smoking guns? no. emily had been on her way home from school when she got a call from detective goodwin. he said emily, where are you? and i said i don t know who you are. he said i am detective good wind. he said where are you? you need to come home. first time you heard that name, good one? i showed up and goodwin and sullivan came out, and i just about fainted. and goodwin had to practically carry me into the house, because i was terrified. what did they tell you is all about? i do not remember. i remember that i did not tell them anything. louis himself was continuing to confound the officers by not giving up his real name. we are very frustrated at that point, we saw one way to the jail as fast as possible. we wanted his fingerprints immediately, we wanted to know who he was, and and that did
man who called himself a loop astro but would not give up his real name was behind bars after confessing to i.d. fraud. but even after seven years of investigating, goodwin was just getting started. he believed that castro was involved in much more serious crimes, heavy duty stuff. maybe even those mysterious deaths. the plane crash that killed mona her boyfriend and daughter, the death of bryan hewitt, the inexplicable head-on tragedy in which their mom died. and trisha woods drawing. as investigators called everyone with links to castro, the trail took goodwin to south texas. it took us to south texas because patricia hughes, the victim in the drowning was from the evil taxes. good wouldn t i question it
bring troops back to life. but she was gone. and for years, her death remained an accidental drowning. i know that it was because of the story that i told. there was a lot of regret that comes along with us. but you are not to blame for this, you get that? i m trying to come to terms. goodwin is now grasping the full extent of castro s holdover emily at angels handling. the control that he had over her was unlimited. she would do anything for him, she truly believed that he was this person. and with emily s story, he had the evidence that he had been seeking for so many years, of castro s grievous crimes. so now based on the story, of what she saw at took part in as a little girl, you have murder case? yes. but, as if murder was not enough, emily and sarah had more to tell. there were more crimes to reveal, even more ugly stuff. sara and emily had
