usually change tires when a man is around. reporter: investigator charlie mccormick couldn t see any good reason for lynn to get under a jeep held up by makeshift jacks. reporter: mccormick believes the original investigation was incomplete there s a lot of things that could have been looked at that would be easier to look at then than now reporter: for example, what caused the jeep to fall? harold said he thought it happened when he tossed the tire into the trunk but this photograph shows a shoe print on the front right fender. i would ve jumped all over that footprint that have been analyzed, compared to the shoes that everybody had on that was at the scene, whether it be harold henthorn or his wife or fire department or anybody. reporter: but no one did. and no one ever checked the jack harold said wasn t working to see if it was really broken. no one ever checked with the restaurant that the henthorns were either heading to or coming from, depending on which version of
private investigator and former denver homicide detective charlie mccormick to review the case file. he noticed something about harold right away. on face value, he s inconsistent. and that s never a good sign. reporter: for starters, harold told multiple stories about why he and lynn were on that back road in the first place. this guy was all over the map from the get-go. you know, we re going to dinner. be had been at dinner. we left the house at 3:00. we left the house at 6:00. reporter: in the police reports written in the hours and days after lynn died, harold is quoted giving different reasons as to why exactly they pulled over. he contradicted himself on what the tire problem was. was it a flat? was it spongy? was it soft? what caused this to happen? reporter: whatever shape the tire was in, the henthorns apparently tried to change it using jacks that normally used for a boat because harold told the cops the jack that came with the jeep was broken. he couldn t get
everything fit. there were no suspicions raised and no reason to drag our feet. nevertheless, after toni s death and mccormick s review, the douglas county coroner changed the manner of lynn s death from accidental to undetermined. still, harold henthorn hadn t been charged with anything not in toni s death or his first wife lynn s. so sheriff s detectives called on lynn s old friend, kim. what did they ask you to do? they asked if we were willing to be wired. reporter: best friend under cover. what would she find out about harold? coming up my husband and i were looking at each other going, i can t believe this. were you a little scared? very scared. for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve back & muscle. all day strong. all day long.
solvent was ever found to corroborate his story. then there was the biggest question of all how do you get under a car and have a car fall on you? it just didn t make sense to me. it never has. reporter: once again, harold seemed to tell multiple stories. patricia montoya remembers him saying lynn went under the jeep to retrieve a lug nut. lynn s old friend kim laferriere says harold told her lynn was going after a flashlight, not a lug nut. and roxanne burns remembered harold saying something else entirely. he said, she was changing the tire, which made the hair on my neck stand up straight because that i was like, women don t usually change tires when a man is around. reporter: investigator charlie mccormick couldn t see any good reason for lynn to get under a jeep held up by makeshift jacks. you d have to be a fool under those circumstances, and from all the other interviews that was done, lynn was no fool to crawl under a car that you already were insecure about. re
