New emergen-c crystals. throw it back. i gotta good feeling about this, yeah new emergen-c crystals. i m with it i gotta good feeling about this yeah, so let s get it i m feeling good vibes continuing with our story, dancer in high school sophomore meghan landowski has been murdered. my daughter, she is bleeding to death. it was just so brutal. and she was all by herself. the main suspect? her stepfather s best friend. there s only one person we thought it could be, just one. but he was cleared by dna evidence. he was your prime suspect, and there s no match? it s frustrating because what you think you have, you do not. what would it take to solve this case? we completely change direction. the identity of the real killer would surprise them all.
The scene. but investigators had plenty of other people to talk to, starting with a high school full of potential suspects. so, the day that she was killed, we went back and pulled all the video and try to track meghan all the way through the school, just to see if there s any type of confrontation, if there was a gap. the videos did not point to anyone suspicious. still, they interviewed student after student, looking for someone who had a problem of meghan, but no luck. everyone talk nice about meghan, but when you have no leads, you want to find one person, or several people, who are not saying nice things about meghan. popular at school, meghan even state friendly with the kids from the arts magnet programs she attended as a freshman. she s inclusive, she would hang out with anybody. anybody, anybody, she did not care what you look like, what she looked like, if you like different music when her, she did not care. meghan s friendliness made it harder for investigators
Different people. more than 80 people volunteered samples. even megan s stepdad, chris. but not one matched up with the murders. and that included meghan s friend, donald. another letdown. we were all hard on ourselves because we hadn t, we hadn t found the killer yet. we were meeting every single day for months. every day? every day! are you holding press conferences up the montauk to king by to generate leads? and nationally, they did. they held a few of them. but we ve got to where we just didn t have any leads. so, investigators asked themselves, what else could their forensic evidence told him? they heard about a dna test that could trace a person s geographic ancestry. at that time, it was relatively new dna. and, so, ncis had done some research into it. we know what race that we were looking for, which helps generally.
yeah they re pretty, they re pretty upset. i can t imagine because if that my, my kids. while, it looks like, it looks like something probably didn t mean to happen the way did. and just things got out of hand. you know, stuff sometimes gets out of hand, you know. yeah, but it s, it s still no excuse for somebody killing her. he s acting more strong. susie almost acting like a loved one? yes. i m not angry at you, i m not angry at anybody. here we are accusing him of possibly murdering, meghan, and he isn t up, he s giving us an excuse to search his home, he s giving us information, telling us what time he gets off work, telling us where he had been. police did not have enough to hold hicke, but they did ask for one thing during the interview. he willingly gave up a dna sample? he willingly gave up a dna
a little over halfway through the year, her grades started slipping a little bit and she kind of changed. out of nowhere! and she was kind of just rebelling a little bit. she was getting into trouble a little bit at school. which he confided in you and all about what was going on? yes. typically she would. but this, it was a complete switch that kind of changed. something was seriously wrong. and, a few months later, meghan was killed. i just didn t know what to think. i didn t know if it was somebody who had targeted her specifically or if it was just a random. to me, it sounded like someone who would have been pretty angry with her and i couldn t think of who that would be. she didn t have any enemies that you know? not that i know of, nobody. but her parents knew something that friends didn t. in his grief and panic, his home, now a murder scene, his
