turns out he wasn t missing, he was dead. so your missing person case has become a homicide. correct. that solved one mystery, but left another. why would anyone want to kill him? maybe it had something to do with a woman in his life. he had broken off his engagement with one. i just found out he was dead this morning, and now i feel like i m a suspect. and there was somebody else nobody knew about. i was lonely, just needed someone to talk to. did it also get a little steamy, mary? yes. passion and a secret the wrong person discovered. her face looked like she had seen a ghost. stay with me. you have a phone call, i think you need to take. hello and welcome to dateline. keith reed was a school superintendent who was respected by his students and adored by friends and family. when he didn t show up at an out of town conference, it set off alarm bells. investigators would take a hard look at keith s love life for clues, and it would be another perso
working theory. thinking keith was away, she stormed over to his house with a male friend to get her diploma back. only keith was still home, an unhappy surprise. there is an issue here where there s two males going at it. did you see something you didn t want to see? seriously? i wasn t there. not at all? not at all. they were thinking i was guilty of this. and i loved him so much, i could never have even thought of doing anything like that. the nearly three hour long interview was over. kimberly was still in the crosshairs, and the thought was terrifying to her. am i going to go to jail for something i didn t do? but investigator boland had his doubts she had anything to do with keith reed s death. she didn t leave my suspect list, but at the same time, she seemed genuine that she would never do something like this. meanwhile, there had been a very puzzling development in
from kevin and others that the superintendent s relationship with kimberly at at times been rocky. they had been engaged to be married, but keith recently called off the wedding. but the time summer was over, like no, we re not doing this. was this what s the crime scene was all about? a deadly confrontation between a man and his lover, upset over a canceled wedding? kimberly, who lived almost two hours away raced to the house. i said kevin, what happened? i said, did he have a heart attack or something? he said no, somebody shot him. and i just started sobbing, and i started to go down to my knees in the road. investigator randy boland was assigned to talk to her. she is crying. very, very emotional. so, i immediately go and speak to her, but i give her some moments. but in the investigators eyes, kimberly quickly went from grieving girlfriend to potential suspect. he asked for her phone.
i said, okay, is there a reason why? i was kind of shocked. it turns out that keith had asked kimberly to join him at the educators conference that weekend. she said they d never finalized the plan, but she had been mad at him for not returning her calls. she gets very upset in her text messages back. like i can t believe you are not talking to me. half violent. like, why are you not calling me? flaming stuff, right? yes. and something else, in keith s bedroom upstairs, crime scene analysts noticed this picture frame. it was toppled over and taken apart on the bookcase. whatever picture had been and it was gone. you could put a sort together without a pretty easy? the pieces of the puzzle were just starting to come together. investigator boland brought kimberly in for a formal taped interview. she was read her rights. i mean, i m still in shock. i barely have my head around
