detective arnold had a working theory and it went like this, someone broke into a shiny cadillac parks outside and indiana walgreens, the car happened to belong to the stores pharmacist. for no apparent reason, the thief grabbed the owners manual from the glove compartment and tossed it into his own car, he then went to erin s house where she and erica were shot, aaron s prescription pills and credit card were stolen. then, according to rick s theory the person rushed away from the house to the pill bottles and credit card into the getaway card and drove off. a few miles away whoever was in the car got rid of the hot property, tossing aaron s empty pill bottle and credit cards out of the window, along with the cadillac manual. that s how everything ended up together in the drainage ditch. i think they were grabbing stuff and i believe they thought while we don t want to have this she s dead. rick asked if the formative knew who broke into his car.
spotted erica s things in a ditch three miles from her house and phoned police. empty prescription pill bottles, credit card and i.d. cards, and personal papers. and something else that did not belong. tell me about what this thing is? this is the cadillac manual. cadillac owners manual, it stood out because it didn t seem to fit with the rest of the mess. so why was the car manual there, whose was it? rick arnold try coming through it, the pages were soaked together. even the cover, front back cover we re sake, to the point where i started to look through this the very first time, it flipped through, pages we re sticking together. days later, rick could separate a few pages but was still frustrated. it was a third time, and i was thinking you know this would be the last time, if i don t feel if i don t find something i would be i go through a page by page. the third time was the charge.
improved enough to talk to rick arnold. james and kenneth williams, they had supposedly hit a lick on a woman. they hit a lick on some lady. what does that mean? that s slang term for a robbery. robbery that quickly escalated to murder. he knew things he couldn t have known, he knew things that weren t in the media. no way he could ve known these things. what kind of things? could ve known there were pills involved. it was a long, frustrating 15 month investigation, but rick was finally close to the answers he had promised erika s grandmother. what kept you going during some of those times when you thought i m hitting dead ends. the two year old baby, eric hughes. five days after interviewing him he was ready to bring in quisenberry and williams for questioning, rick had enough on quisenberry to arrest him earlier but he wasn t ready yet, he wanted more. both men from the walgreens
that was music to my here, hearing him say i was in the back room. rick had him right where he wanted him, inside the house. and none too soon. you ve got an attorney now. an attorney who immediately stopped the interview. just under the wire, in the nick of time. detective arnold placed williams and quisenberry under arrest, and then, he wasted no time making the one phone call he had waited 15 months to make. to erica s grandmother. i literally went to the bathroom and made the phone call, to the bathroom. what was it like? it was echo because i wasn t a bathroom, but it was relief, i promise judy harper on may 18th of 2006 and i would get those answers. now we have them. what did you think when they told you? well, i was relieved. i had confidence that they would find them sooner or later because they couldn t get away with it forever. williams and quisenberry would stand trial for the murder of earon and the
secure home, day-by-day she was gaining strength. but things were not normal. erica was so afraid of balloons balloons? balloons popping, and she was afraid of firecrackers. loud noises and everything, she is like this. she is scared when it rains and thunders outside. because it sounds like gunshots? yes. there was something else that terrified erica, and it was harder to understand. there was the guy that would come in the daycare to get his child and he had brazen his hair and erika started running and crying to the teacher and said don t let him hurt me. judith told detective arnold about erica s new fear, men with braids. and there, on the walgreens video, detective arnold saw it, the man coming in with james quisenberry, the mystery man had braids. but the image was still too fuzzy to figure out. rick circulated a freeze frame
