of the alley and one by my garage. i pulled my truck in and i thought, what s going on? they asked me if i knew sonia risken? and i said, no. sonio who? rican? yeah, do you know sonia bordeaux? and i go, yeah. he said, if you had the opportunity to kill her, would you? i said, in a heart beat. probably not the wisest thing to the fbi. it made him an instant suspect. they covered dennis, covered the bases and he had an alibi. they cleared him. remember, up in lopia, walk, sherri jackson had despised sonia for years, believe she ordered her brother s death. so detective rodriguez searched her computers, questioned her. also discussed those e-mails that offered sherri a way to murder sonia. when we reviewed the e-mails
same department of de la cruz. so they would have seen each other? they lived in the same units and actually hung out together. is it possible those were were plotting a murder from a ship at sea? so we basically looked at where the ship was at the time those e-mails were sent. digging through all the data would take the ncis some time. well, detective rodriguez waited for the results, he kept stringing eric along, did not give him a hint that he, not john bordeaux, is now the prime suspect. it was almost like we were chan championing a cause together, he was on our team. you just do what you are doing today. the ncis figured out exactly where eric was when those e-mails supposedly from john bordeaux pinked in sherri s
i tried to get information. it wasn t something that was discussed with us. pretty frustrating for you? very frustrating. even more frustrating for sherri is what happened to sonia. despite all her hatred of the woman, sherri was not happy that sonia was murdered. not at all. because i wanted her to pay for what she did. now she s dead. so there is no satisfaction in that for me. did you really care whether or not they figured out who killed her in. yes. because i just knew the person that killed her had something to do with these e-mails. it was just a big web. but maybe john bordeaux was untangled? remember, detectives had given him a polygraph test shortly after his mother was murdered. his answers didn t sound believable. i didn t shoot my mom.
brother s remains. the trail apparently runs deep in their family? very deep. they are basically murdering anything and anybody they can to enhance their financial well being. sonia and her family murder bordeaux, sonia and her family murdered larry rican and eric dela cruz ends up murdering his beloved great aunt. so how many murders can you have in one family? but for one member of sonia s family, the investigator meant vindication. john bordeaux, sonia s once estranged son who might have been charged with murdering his own mother had cleared his name. did you talk to him after the trial? yes. he obviously was still petrified of myself and law enforcement. i told him that i was sorry that i did what i felt was best for the case and that hopefully he
he arrived back after tour in asia. the woman he called grandmother had beenia murdered. he told detectives he just knew. h he told us that john bordeaux, sonia s son, was a bad guy and b if something happenedo sonia, he was the one. he was the one. that did it. john bordeaux wasn t hard to find. he was the guy who discovered sonia s body and called the cops. bordeaux was at the crime scene when they arrived. rodriguez immediately noticed a subtle but significant clue about this mother/son relationship. there wasn t ar/ single picte of her son john bordeaux. it was as if he didn t exist to her. of those were concerns to us right away. reporter: so police took their own pictures of bordeaux when they brought him in for questioning. was he in an emotional state? more of opening sight.ng to me it s like is this guy
