And no emotion whatsoever. You describe it almost like a staring contest. Yeah, we throughout their Crime Scene Pictures of denise lying dead, autopsy pictures to get a reaction. She had no emotion and i called her out on it. I said these people took you and your home, but you back from lithuania. That dont bother you . She just looked at me Stone Cold and said i cried enough over the weekend. But then, detectives asked her about something they learned as they traced nathans movements the day of the murder. Remember one of the places he said he visited was the where he bought a Valentines Day Gift certificate for denise but when detectives stop there, they discovered nathan had been bringing another woman to the spa, and it was none other than aina. It had happened so often, the owner said, she thought they were a couple
He said nathan seemed quiet, stoic. Ive never seen nathan in an emotional state as far as crying or Panic Or Anything like that. I just took it as he was really stressed out and whats happening to my family right now . Why did this happen . Denises parents were wondering the same thing. They also began to ask other questions. We kept going over the robbery, like how it would have happened, and it didnt really make sense. I worked in the store that sold high def tvs and we have a lot of small ones that they couldve just picked up, taken away you know, electronics, Blu Ray players, and of those things were touched and i only had probably three rings that
You talking to us and cooperating with us is the best information that we can get. We want to talk to the people closest to her first to try to figure out what makes her tick, what is a routine like . Did you start to think that someone may have targeted denise . Well, we didnt know i mean nathan, hes going to be our best witness, you know. You are living with this lady. Youve been married for a long time. You know her routine. Did you think maybe someone had a reason to be inside that house outside of a random burglary . We didnt know. You, we didnt know but we needed to lockdown at that point, we just needed to make sure we locked down what she planned on doing that day. They started at the very beginning. She woke up at about 6 45. I was already shaving and showering. Were the kids already up . She gets up at 6 45. Nathan told police he took the two older children to school and went on a series of errands that day including going to a Day Spa to buy a Gift Certificate for denise
And a mother. But, denise also became very devoted to the church there. Denise was very musical and played the piano for them in the songs and taught the little girls especially, bible stories. The group particularly close to some of the children and their families. With helped women who had been in abusive relationships. We had brought several lithuanian students to the united states over the years for cultural reasons, for his oh region, for sports. Their generosity extended to a young lithuanian they got to know well, aina dobilaite, who eventually came to the u. S. As a college student. She even lived with them for a while and peoria. Nathan has a very big heart for people
Question or she would say something he didnt like, he would laugh and throw his hands up in the air. Prosecutors had another bit of evidence. A secret that shook the courtroom. It challenge the core of Nathans Defense that denise was at the center of his life and he would never hurt her. It was a gutwrenching note written by denise, discovered tucked in her day planner. In a murder case, you do not have the victim. You never get to hear their story. That person is dead, and here we had a note that she had written that laid the whole thing out. A highly personal, painful note, was obviously aimed at nathan. The Police Investigator read it in court. I tried to please you for 17 years and never succeeded. I have never been good enough, never done enough. I know you want me dead. Im not stupid. Denise seemed to confirm that she believed her husband was having an affair
