reporter: then the lawyers went looking for evidence of the phone calls matt described in his confession, calls in which he and nick supposedly planned the murders and the records revealed there wasn t one call, not one between matt and nick in the days before the murder. that phone communication never took place. you know, it simply didn t occur. reporter: but couldn t they have used, you know, those kind of phones that you can buy that you can t trace? that s theoretically possible, but there s no evidence of that. reporter: add to that a ballistics test confirmed the gun found under nick s bed was not the murder weapon. the spot on nick s jeans thought to be blood wasn t human blood at all. and now the arrests of these teenagers from wisconsin, two people clearly present at the crime scene, but never mentioned at all in any of matt livers hours and hours of police interviews. all this led julie bear to head over to the jail to ask matt livers face-to-face about these alle
was found just below the steering wheel on the dashboard. a stain found by csi chief himself. i just took it along that edge and wiped it. i figured that way i wouldn t miss anything and it reacted. you got a hit, though? i got a presumptive positive, yes. before long, tests confirmed what the csi chief found under the dashboard was indeed blood. the blood of wayne stock, the victim. only one way it could get there, carried by livers and sampson. with a confession and now real physical evidence to back it up, many in the community thought, case closed. oh, but they were mistaken. coming up, a piece of evidence that had gone unnoticed, turns the case upside down. is this the ring of truth?

man. what really stuck out was this car later passed them in the same area, same night, this time driving 60 to 70 miles an hour, in a rush, it appeared to get away. investigators now had a number of clues. that car seen by the newspaper carrier, flashlight with what appeared to be blood on it. the marijuana pipe. detectives were probably looking for more than one killer. but a motive? who knew? not a thing was missing. wallets, purses, gun collections, even a safe hidden in the bedroom floor, all untouched. but all that evidence. asking questions to shows closest to the stocks would soon pay off. just a week later an arrest and confession. another shattering blow to the stock family. coming up, stories surface of a long simmering feud between
