her daughter. she thinks this is how? play. yes she does. with linda no-show, the judge awarded temporarily focused city of temporary custody to dave. were you i was happy having jordan in my life. yes. linda went back to check. not in defeat. and that s when she made a discovery that changed everything. coming up! maryland calls us and says that she found blood in the entryway to linda s house. it all these little fragments of estimations suggest something violent happen in this area. that someone had cleaned up. so now you have a theory of foul play? to explain the disappearance. now we have a theory of foul play. but what police did not have as a suspect. the only two people that might be looked at, both had alibis. when dateline continues!
and jr said, she faced a bigger loss. she s looking at losing her daughter. turns out, linda and dave had not yet come to terms on custody of jordan. and they had an important court hearing coming up. are you going for full custody? i did. one, to take the rights away from linda. by no means. because every child needs both parents. but after the break up with linda, jr did something unexpected. he agreed to testify on the cause of the hearing on dave s behalf. so here s a strange thing. he now has your back in family court? not much mine. i m sure he could give two shakes about me, but he cares about jordan. so he was doing it for her. not me. more pressure on linda. she had joined a toiled step program. but still, shortly before she disappeared, she went out drinking with her cousin. at a place away from the bright
link to the daughter. that s a link to the daughter? doesn t mean anything s happened yet though. not yet. her purse is gone. so the deputy tells miss cox, let s just wait. marilyn did not want to wait. she called her younger sister, pat. she tells me pat, linda is missing. of course, you know, this doesn t happen to your family. it happens other people. marilyn also called linda s ex husband, dave. maryland says that linda s not home, she s missing. she sounded panicked. and i was like, give it some time. it s monday morning. maybe she went somewhere? three days past. it was linda s turn to take jordan. dave and then, four-year-old jordan drove to linda s house. we got there, her car was there, she was not home. and so, he was like so that s weird. she s probably just out with a friend, or something. it didn t sound that farfetched to many people who knew linda. she always like to party. supposedly she had a couple of relationships with that some
so this is a double migraine? yeah. had you agreed to take jody home for the drop off. you would ve been in this. most likely, yeah. three years after linda s disappearance, investigators had a whole new deadly mystery. and the key to unlocking it, just might be a voice from the grave. coming up! she let him in the house, which just blew me away. did marilyn know what was coming? she took him towards a little bedroom and said that s a gun laying right there i will be taking this with us. when dateline continues!
linda watson had been declared legally dead, but nobody had ever been found. so there is no proof of a crime. and no case to make against her ex husband dave watson, not for linda s disappearance, nor for the subsequent murder of her mother. all that changed because of a random discovery and a long, delayed lab results. where are we, detective? why here? we are outside the mine area. that being the mine. very remote area, the northwest side of tucson and fema county. remember, jr had lived off of silver bell road. silver bell mine was near the same road, but 20 miles from where jr lived. way back in october of 2003, not long after marilyn and renee were killed. hunters found a partial human
