i still think she s beside me. i m going to continue to raise our son the way that we wanted him to be raised. you harbor any grudge because of this? all i can say is they made a mistake. that s all i m asking, that they search and search and search until they find dee dee s killer. according to prosecutor norris, there would be no point to that search. you re not investigating anymore. there s no one to investigate, and there s been no new evidence of anybody else ever having committed this crime. this boyhood hero wrote a whole new set of headlines as an adult, and coldwater may never be the same. as for those who remain convinced of tom s guilt, they cling to the memory of the one they lost and loved so much. they gather to release balloons in dar s honor.
we were together all the time. tom admitted to the jury he did once flirt with carrie zuk, but he said that happened three years prior to the murder during a brief time when he and dar were arguing more than they were communicating. that put quite a bit of distance between us, and it also led to intimacy problems between her and i. tom says he eventually told dar about his feelings for carrie. he also says he went to counseling to work on their communication problems. after those session, did things get better? absolutely. then why was it so easy for tom to become intimate with marianne crandall so soon after dar s death? it was like three weeks after dar died. yes. and you re in the house where dar died. yeah. what am i to think of that? think that i don t care about
tom, heath and a friend of heath s left without her. the plan was for dar to follow in her own car and meet them all at the party later that afternoon. but dar never arrived. that gave you some sort of sixth sense that something was wrong. yes. she was always on time or early to events. so tom left the party and headed back home in search of his wife. our kitchen back door was open, and i noticed that the glass was broken and there was glass all over our kitchen floor. so i looked through the rest of the house for her and ended up finding her in our bathroom. it was a gruesome scene. she d been shot in the head with a shotgun at point blank range. tom immediately called for help. what s the problem? my wife is in the shower. she s just laying there in the blood. first responders rushed to the foley farm.
to tom and dar s close friends, the pierces, news of tom s arrest was almost as stunning as the news of dar s death. could you conceive of tom either hating his wife so much that he wanted to kill her absolutely not. or killing her for the insurance money? absolutely not. that would be stupid. she made the money. why kill the golden goose? it s not like money was real valuable to him. do you think they had a good marriage? i do. everything seemed to be going really good for them. it seemed sadistic, shooting your wife at point-blank range, killing the mother of your son on the very day he was celebrating his tenth birthday. he never would have done that to his son. police continued gathering evidence. ten days after tom s arrest, police brought heath foley in for a second interview. and this time heath did recall hearing a noise that day.
the bag is probably ours. i mean, my fingerprint is on the bag. but for three clean shotgun shells to be in my basement? it just doesn t make sense. you have no idea where those came from? absolutely not. tom said he s never owned or used a shotgun. never. wouldn t know how to operate it. wouldn t know the first thing about it. tom schafer then asked why tom failed to call his home when dar didn t show up at the birthday celebration. something just wasn t right so that s why i went home. if we had cell phones i would have called her on the cell phone. i had to find her. i had to go see where she was at. then it was time for tom to describe his relationship with dar. it didn t take tom long to lose his composure. we were very close. and we were go ahead.
