williams father is nonsense, right? bogus. couldn t have possibly been. couldn t have possibly been and wasn t corroborated by any evidence whatsoever. now he was ready for the new trial. he showed the jury, check by check, how harvey drained steven s accounts, all 1.7 million, in just 3 years to dress up a boat that was never going to sail anywhere. the boat wasn t properly outfitted for a trip around the world. in fact, it was outfitted in such a way that suggests that it was just going to be a showpiece. it was going to be part of his con. part of the image that he liked to sell to people. then the prosecutor took the jury through the gps and cell phone records and explained how that evidence put steven and harvey together on the far side of catalina island. after which, steven vanished and harvey told conflicting stories about where he supposedly went. i think the most damning evidence in this regard was the fact that despite having a history of calling mr. williams on th
pinning him down in a way that you could use it against him later? i felt that. you re asking questions that but harvey, you re a banker, man. you should know the answers to these questions. i don t want to talk anymore. you re done? yeah. i mean, you re not telling me anything. you re well, we re not finished yet. i told you i got a lot to tell you and i do and i will tell you. tell it to my lawyer. but tell it to what? tell it to a lawyer. of course, he was going to need one. harvey was extradited to california, charged with first degree murder. but for all the evidence that harvey conned and stole from steven, evidence of murder was pretty thin. at least without another stroke of luck. and that s exactly what they got. a missing piece of the puzzle discovered at last. coming up he said you need to look at the data that s in this gps. the gps was a pivotal point of the investigation. it really sealed his location. when dateline continues.
look at the data that s in this gps. amazing thing. the gps preserved in its memory, in almost infinite detail, its very last trip. which was as follows may 4th, 2006 around 2 p.m., the gps headed out toward catalina island. went to the back side, where it seemed to putter around aimlessly in the middle of the night. then returned back to the dock 6:00 a.m. may 5th. that little device seemed to pinpoint the place and time of steven s murder. but how could detectives be sure the gps belonged to harvey and was on his boat? and then, what do you know. luck again. when harvey bought the gps, he took a friend. i was with him in the car when we picked it up. and it was such a cool gps. i ve got one myself. that gps was a pivotal point in the investigation that really kind of sealed this whole case together. but though the gps evidence told detectives where harvey s boat was the day steven was
harvey morrow was about to stand trial for murder. prosecutors believed the motive war murder, that morrow shot the former raid crow star after steven confronted him about his missing fortune. armed with crucial gps data, they felt ready to prove their case. but the defense had a stunning surprise in store. new evidence that threatened to shatter the very foundation of the prosecution s argument. could harvey morrow walk away a free man? here s keith morrison with the conclusion of who killed the radio star? it had taken five long years to get to this point, but harvey morrow was finally being tried for the murder of steven b. police and prosecutors felt confident. that is, until the defense gave its opening statement and things took an unexpected turn. during the opening statement, it was said that the money that harvey got from steven was money that was owed to harvey in a loan that happened many years ago. harvey loaned money to steven s father back in the 80s, the defense
of character for him. then harvey s friend greg, the stainless steel guy, said he noticed something strange about steven s usually cluttered cabin. it was completely sterile. just nothing in it, not one loose object. it was as if steven had never set foot in here. and then those boaters made their shocking discovery. steven face down in the ocean, a bullet in his head. what was it like to get that news? oh it was awful. i felt like i was in some made for tv movie. it s like, this can t be happening. none of us could believe it was happening. detectives ken clark and robert martindale wanted to have a look at harvey morrow s boat, steven s last known residence, and they wanted to talk to harvey. they got a search warrant. brought a whole team to the harbor. seized the yacht. when you first walked in, was it clean, absolutely clean. clean enough for you, and these are my words, eat off the floor. pristine, in fact. and for all the diligent efforts of the forensic peop
