his body appeared to be concealed. a robber is not gonna take the time to cover the body. it s personal. there may be some tenants who had bad blood. somebody put behind bars. had it out for him. several doors were padlocked. it seemed like it was forever, but maybe a ten second silence in the courtroom. he was an fbi agent? he dealt with many criminals. he could take care of himself? at least he thought so. hello, and welcome to dateline. when special agent scott retired from the fbi, it seemed like he had left the crime and violence behind him. then he was beaten to death outside of his own home. it was a puzzling mystery making police wonder had someone from the past resurfaced for revenge or was the killer much closer to home. here is josh mankiewicz with the house! a young man walks towards his house in the middle of the evening. he is wearing a gopro camera and to do that. now if it sounds strange for someone to start recording a video of the
and i told them you are not going to believe what i just heard. the startling news came from their sisters friend. she just kept insisting promise me you ll get a full autopsy. the brothers kept it a secret. we wouldn t tell the parent, we wouldn t tell my sister diana, we wouldn t tell anybody. it was information about a family member they loved with what they point the guilty finger? there was no way we were going to accuse them. hello and welcome to dateline. thousands of americans are killed in car accidents every year. but, when a mother of two died after a minor fender bender. her loved ones were left shaking their heads and looking for some answers. the more they learned the more it seemed it wasn t her accident that needed investigating. it was her marriage. here is dennis murphy with bitter pill. so ironic that rosie essa was just idling a few days the afternoon when she had only a few precious minutes remaining. but we never know, do we? it was f
do this on purpose. a dark house, a husband witho a gun. a wife dead on the floor. make sure that she is still breathing. oh, i don t think she is, damn it. there was no question who killed her. the mystery was why. i hear the door squeaking, and i hear the rumbling and i hear the dog growling. how could you not tell that s your wife?ld it was dark. he just kept saying it was an accident. he said he didn t do anything wrong. others disagreed.di we never for a second believe that he didn t know who that was standing in front of him. was it a tragic mistake? he was broken. or cold-blooded murder. emotion is only done in front of the detective. a room too dark to see? shut the light off.e or a story too hard to believe.or there was nothing accidental about what he did. a shot in the dark and found in the light of day. the love of your life. yes, sir. the person you know better than anybody else. yes, sir. and you can t tell it s he
