odd. then as the interview went on, he said, chris voice began to sound familiar. the voice mail that police believed help lure ken to his death. hey, ken, this is robert. reporter: to me, that was chris voice on that phone. reporter: the detectives pulled out a search warrant. bianca was home when the police arrived. it s surreal. they re like roving gangs of toddlers who are ripping everything apart. they took apartment the sofa and took out the lining. they took apart my toaster. they take everything apart. reporter: a ballistics report told police the murder weapon was a 9 millimeter handgun. chris was an avid collector of guns and among them police found an empty case for a springfield handgun and what do you know, the gun that went with it was missing. chris wright was arrested and charged with the murder of ken dolezsar. it was a matter of disbelief. he was being taken out of the
with suspicion. strange times around the loft building in downtown salt lake. so shocking that one of their own chris wright had been arrested and charged with killing wealthy businessman ken dolezsar. all the evidence that we obtained led up to chris wright being the triggerman. reporter: in the suv ken drove to his fatal morning meeting, for example. the killer used that vehicle to flee the scene. and when the cops found it and scoured the interior, they got a hit. chris dna. we had a dna result from the inside door handle of the suv. reporter: it was a tiny sample, not a perfect one, but it seemed to put chris in ken dolezsar s car driver s side which certainly helped the case. but it wasn t quite air tight, not yet. the murder weapon had not been found. yet they found an empty gun case in chris and bianca s apartment, but nothing to connect the case to the murder. and just about then the sergeant for the district attorney s office just happened to call me and ask,
that is absolutely not me. reporter: the jury got the case in 2010. a jury that certainly heard about but never saw the mysterious david novak. so did they buy the prosecutor s evidence or bianca s explanations, her alibi for chris? i was concerned because i d been told that sometimes it can be a crap shoot was the phrase that was used. reporter: the jury deliberated for 11 hours, and the verdict guilty. i can t even begin to explain. it s like the bottom falls out of your world. and he wouldn t let me hug him. you know. sorry. just give me a sec. reporter: that s all right. take your time. crying is not acceptable. reporter: and why is that? because i m english. reporter: but for ken s
uniquely american experience. and their video, there is no sign of a springfield armory 9 millimeter. i lost stuff constantly. it was a bone of contention between christopher and i. reporter: while the prosecution scoffed at bianca s lost gun story, her loft friends did not. if you knew sweet bianca, she accidentally threw her gorgeous wedding ring away. we had to dig it out of the garbage. i was standing there. she can be an absent-minded dingbat. reporter: but remember the day police searched the loft? they took apart my toaster. reporter: she was focused like a laser that day, said bianca, watching intently, she said, as an officer looked in the empty 9 millimeter gun case. i was sitting beside her. reporter: no test fired shell casing, she said. i don t mean to sound cynical, but i know it wasn t there. reporter: only possible conclusion, said bianca, it was
his friends still coming to terms with it. and i just think, what if, all the fun we could have had if he hadn t been taken. reporter: until now, the investigation seemed to be going nowhere. then as detective carriger was about to leave novak s apartment he showed novak the surveillance photo from that cell phone store. he looked at it and said, that s chris wright. he s my neighbor. he lives two floors below. reporter: chris wright, his good friend and husband of the irrepressible bianca. this is definitely somebody we want to talk to. reporter: carriger arrived unannounced at chris office. almost before he asked a question, he said, chris launched into a story about ken dolezsar. claimed the man was so paranoid he wanted drois buy a prepaid cell phone so they could communicate in complete privacy. to detective carriger the story seemed a little too ready or rehearsed. almost as if they was trying to account for things we knew. reporter: i see.
