Martino it was the lightbulb moment. It brought back thousands of pictures and images and screenshots. Scotti there was several searches had been done regarding colchicine. One talked about the cardiac impact of colchicine. Another talked about how you treat people who have been poisoned by colchicine. Narrator by this time, the unknown female dna found with the bottle of colchicine in Adams Car was matched to kaity conley. In june of 2016, she was charged with seconddegree murder. At trial, prosecutors argued that she had planned mary Yoders Murder for months. This is a wellplannedout, cold, calculated thing. Lisi i think initially what her intent was im going to kill mary yoder. Thatll bring adam back to me. Ill get back in his good graces, and, in fact, thats really what happened shortly after the homicide. Narrator prosecutors say kaity was able to buy the colchicine online
What is she going to do next . Well, shes gonna take away from adam the thing that he loves the most. Thats his mother. Narrator kaity told detectives that she knew nothing about colchicine, but that adam did. The keys seem to lie in the Email Address found with the bottle of colchicine, an online record created when the drug was purchased over the internet. Vannamee whoever has control of that Gmail Account is the one that purchased this colchicine. Narrator the Email Address was on a google account. The Company Couldnt provide the name, but they could provide whats called an internet protocol, or ip, address. Martino its very similar to the phone system. Only one phone can have a specific Phone Number at any time. Otherwise, it doesnt work. Narrator the Internet Service Provider was able to backtrack
By going through the yoders chiropractic business. The evidence appears to indicate she spiked a Protein Shake with so much colchicine that Mary Yoder overdosed almost immediately. When kaity tried to throw off investigators by writing the anonymous letters, she didnt realize the typewriter could be tied back to her. She also didnt know that the email address, The One she thought could keep her anonymous, would not only reveal her identity, it would show how she searched online for the colchicine, a Murder Weapon she thought no one would ever discover. Finally, despite all her attempts to frame Adam Yoder for the murder, kaitys dna, not adams, was on the key pieces of evidence. Groah i had such a tough time thinking that she would do that because she was such she was such a sweet girl in that office
When emails were sent from that ip address, and gps could also give a good idea where the emails had been sent from. By knowing when and where they were sent, investigators had a good idea of who had sent them. There are only two devices that have any nexus to that Gmail Account at all. One of them is Kaitlyn Conleys cellphone, and the other is the computer at the Chiropractic Office that Kaitlyn Conley uses. Narrator analysts searched kaitys devices and found that large amounts of data had been deleted from her cellphone shortly after marys murder. However, in a twist that would upend the investigation, adam claimed he and kaity briefly reunited after marys murder. During this period, kaity backed up her phone on adams computer, and almost all her deleted data was there
I mean, i talked to her all the time. Theres no way i believed that she would do it. Narrator she wasnt the only one. The jury in kaitys first Trial Couldnt reach a verdict. Lisi i just remember honestly going out, walking to my car, crying for about two minutes in the parking lot, and then saying, okay, thats it. Thats enough. Its time to get back to work and see if we can put this case together again. Narrator and thats what happened. In a second trial, in november of 2017, Kaity Conley was found guilty of Firstdegree Manslaughter and sentenced to 23 years in prison. She still maintains her innocence, but the dna, the evidence from the typewriter, the attempted frameup, the web searches, and the purchase of the colchicine all pointed in one direction to a young woman with a bizarre motive for murder. Vannamee a lot of people have had a difficult or a tough time accepting the fact that Kaitlyn Conley is guilty for the death of mary yoder
