it is not a who done it, but a why done it. the investigation unlocking a deep secret and a darker plot that anyone had imagined. here is josh mankiewicz with deadly betrayal. there comes a time in most cop s careers when they see something so horrific they ll do just about anything to forget it. even though deep down they know they never will. for officer randy, that moment came in november, 2012, on a call to shagrin drive in willow by hills, ohio. you ever have a seen like this before? never. i never seen a crime scene like that and i hope i never do again. it was bad. finding out what happened that night and why would ultimately lead investigators on a journey that would reveal accusations of a diabolical murder plot and a series of
it? you know? this is what we could have if, you know, if we do this. when you re in love, you will do anything for that person. according to sabrina, they first discussed the idea of sabrina shooting lisa. then they considered hiring a hitman. then after several months they finally settled on sabrina stabbing lisa in her sleep. kevin picked out this bread knife and it was about a foot long and it had a rigid blade. and he said to use this one because it would do more damage on the inside. i was supposed to take her ring, her necklace, all of that as if someone came in and burglarized her. are you kidding me? when kevin s friend linda got wind of sabrina s story, she was dumbfounded. i thought that it was
than my husband and me. it doesn t mean anything. but what about those who testified kevin acted suspiciously immediately after the murder? i don t think i would want to have to come home and find out that my wife was butchered and have other people criticize what my emotional response was to that situation. kevin s friend linda agreed. even if the emotional response was to try and visit sabrina in jail. just one day after she murdered kevin s wife. i thought about that. and i m thinking he might have want to say why in the hell, what s the matter with you? linda also believed kevin was unfairly judged for filing the life insurance claims as quickly as he did. kevin, she said, had to think about the welfare of his children. now i have to be the sole support. now what am i going to do? great deal of the state s evidence were witnesses said
phone call in court. the only thing that i m worried about is that whole hit man thing. i honestly don t know. she talked a big game about a lot of things. on the call, kevin never admits to knowing anything about a hit man, but the detective parmertor, his calm manner and apparent lack of surprise suggests a prior knowledge of the plot. never says what are you talking about? i ve never we never had any conversations. if you have any information about the murder of my wife, please go to the police. never says anything like that. in fact, when detective parmertor called kevin just two days later, kevin made no mention of autumn s call. and claimed to have only a vague recollection of who autumn was. even though he just spoken with her. last name doesn t ring a bell, but i think she had a friend, um, named autumn at school. as prosecutor saw it, kevin was trying to keep police from
absolutely crazy. there is no way i can t even believe that he would begin to do anything like that. neither could kevin s sister chris ann. kevin, she said, loved lisa too much to want to harm her, nor would he ever do anything to risk the safety of his children. he would not put his kids in harm s way. and i include megan in that. he thought of megan as his own daughter. no one, she said, could be manipulated into committing such a violent act. this is the act of one person and one person only. according to linda, sabrina s story was a web of lies. woven together by a deranged and troubled teen. whose fantasy of having a life with kevin and hailey pushed her over the edge. i think she imagined the relationship that didn t exist. it was like i want this so this is how i m going to get it.
