is looking at those people that are closest to the person that is missing. you have to. so it made perfect sense to focus on the husband early on. it always seems like the spouse. in this particular case, we really didn t know the dynamics of what had happened in their marriage. i mean, it s up to us to find out, what are the details. detectives learned that sandi met greg at a hockey game in 1990. she pursued him and he fell fast. she had a lot of energy. a lot of spunk. you seem like you might be a little more low key. i am. was she a good complement to you? a good fit? i think so, yeah. in late 1990, the couple got married. sean was born in 1991, daughter katie followed. for the next few years, the couple s life was hectic, but
hadn t been totally candid with them about the nature. he initally held back that they had had a romantic or sexual relationship. that came out a little bit later. it was suspicious to police that he wasn t up front from the beginning. why did he hold back? maybe he was concerned, in general, she was a married woman, he didn t want that to get out. as they had with greg, cops put kane on polygraph machine. he passed the test and offered an alibi. cops told him he could go home for now. when they laid out the time line, detectives discovered jeff kane wasn t the only man sandi was supposed to meet. there was another guy, a former coworker named cliff reed who had befriended sandi. sandi planned to stop by reed s home to pick up a present for her son the day before his birthday party. cliff reed told cops she never turned up. husband greg knew reed from when he had visited the house. i think the first time i met him, he was going to fix my car
did you have a lot of questions? yeah, why isn t my mom around, who did it, why would this happen. detectives in washington state had no answers. with no body, no new leads and no new suspects, the investigation was dead in the water. the case must have been growing colder by the day. it was. i m sure you must have felt that way. absolutely. did you at some point feel like we ve kind of got to give up on this until something comes our way. yeah. on the other hand, we knew somewhere, some day, sandi would be found. and the hope was that when that happened there would be some type of evidence that the assist us in putting this case together. they were about to get their wish. coming up all the men in sandi s life claimed they didn t see her the day she disappeared. which one of them is lying? the neighbor saw her car, recognized her car parked outside his house.
where sandi s remains were recovered added another piece to the investigative puzzle. it fit the m. o. of the notorious green river killer, gary ridgway, he murdered scores of women in washington, and disposed of some of them in the area of where sandi s bones were found. ridgway s victims were almost all believed to be prostitutes, and now king county cops had to make sure there wasn t something they had missed earlier about sandi. was it ever posed to her family, did she ever engage in prostitution, a hard question, but. i believe that someone, a detective, asked her mom that, and it was not well received, as you can imagine. sandi was not a prostitute, and that would be heart ripping to hear a question like that, even though it had to be asked. police then ruled out the green river killer. detectives circled back to the secret boyfriend, jeff kane. they came away convinced he had nothing
the police actually said you failed the polygraph. i m sure they did. so, you re disputing that. i am. it was inconclusive results on the polygraph. cops felt he failed it, and the results made them even more certain they were on the right track. king county prosecuting attorneys kristin richardson, and carla carlstorm. greg had not done well on a polygraph test. the lawyer said you need to stop talking to police right now, and so he did. must have been a big red flag for police. yes, i think it was. i think whenever someone flunks a polly polygraph test, police get suspicious and want to go at that person harder. greg may have lawyered up, but the detectives used the polygraph tests to turn up the pressure. they told your sister you failed a polygraph test.
