burt the defense was about to argue that over time both boys testimony had changed. and in significant ways. sheath now stating that it sounds like a gunshot. it s something he didn t say in the first interview. the same thing with skyler. heath s courtroom testimony left tom furious, not at his son but at his accusers, the people who had cared for heath while tom was incarcerated. that s somebody coaching him or encouraging him? i believe so. coached or not, tom foley s defense team knew from day one that they needed to prove the sound those boys heard was tom dropping a window frame on the back porch and not the fatal gun blast. four days after tom foley s arrest, schaeffer and cuberstein took a trip to the farm to try and do just that. couple of perry mason moments. don t come very often. this is the frame that we
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 dar foley had been shot. it appeared to us that skyler
i d say probably 75%, 80% of the time she did. she was the breadwinner? yes. you stayed home and took care of your son? i did. heath was tom and dar s only child and the center of their lives. and we just loved being together. we were always together. and so the three foleys lived on the outskirts of coldwater in an old farmhouse they called the heath bar farm. a picture perfect family until that winter day back in 2009. what was the last thing you said to her? i said, i love you, and i ll see you later. on that day, the foleys were preparing to celebrate heath s tenth birthday at a friend s house just down the road. dar still needed to shower, so 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
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 dar foley had been shot. it appeared to us that skyler watty may have heard the shotgun blast that killed dar foley. detective carbon was also thinking this.
