tom, heath and a friend of heath s left without her. the plan was for dar to follow in her own car and meet them all at the party later that afternoon. but dar never arrived. that gave you some sort of sixth sense that something was wrong. yes. she was always on time or early to events. so tom left the party and headed back home in search of his wife. our kitchen back door was open, and i noticed that the glass was broken and there was glass all over our kitchen floor. so i looked through the rest of the house for her and ended up finding her in our bathroom. it was a gruesome scene. she d been shot in the head with a shotgun at point blank range. tom immediately called for help. what s the problem? my wife is in the shower. she s just laying there in the blood. first responders rushed to the foley farm.
offended by his demeanor, his joyfulness. these are things that i ve heard. and it s ridiculous. i mean, taking care of heath was on my mind. wondering who killed my wife was on my mind. they don t know the things that i ve been through. maybe so, but detective carbon was with keeping a very watchful eye on tom foley. he decided to interview the other foley who was at the farm the day dar was killed, tom and dar s son, heath. heath, like i told you, i m detective sergeant carbon. on that day, heath and his friend skyler watty were inside the house playing video games, waiting to be driven to heath s birthday celebration. did you see anything different or out of the ordinary or anybody walking around, anybody come up to the door, anything that you could think of? not really. okay. the detective also
interviewed skyler watty who said right before leaving for the party tom sent the two boys outside to go start up the truck. he said that he ll be out there in a little bit. okay. i don t know what he was doing in there, taking a shower or what. like heath, skyler couldn t recall anything unusual about that day either. and then suddenly yeah. when we were outside during across the barn there was like a big crash, like way in the back of the house. like what did it sound like? it sounded like breaking glass and a bunch of things falling. like a vase just it was a loud sound. yeah. detective carbon showed skyler a drawing of the foley farm and ask skyler to place an x where he believes the sound originated. like somewhere around here? skyler placed the x just outside the first floor bathroom, the same room where
there was no glass that we could see when we looked at the scene on that particular night as well as the next day. for dar s sisters, the writing was by now on the wall. they were certain of their brother-in-law s guilt. we went over every case we could come up with to not make it tom. i think tom resented dar and that he couldn t be a man. i think it kind of ate at him, and he couldn t take it anymore. people get divorced for that reason. he didn t divorce her because he s a selfish coward. he wanted heath. he wanted the house. he wanted her money. and if he divorced her, he lost everything. in november 2009, tom foley s trial began. the prosecution argued that only tom had a motive to kill dar. but the defense claimed police had rushed to judgment. defense attorney tom schafer and defense investigator ken kobersteen.
