hook, because there was one possibility still. if the da could find hard evidence that dom lied when she was given that get out of jail free card for implicating james it s still an open book for don oxley for murder. if somebody comes today with credible evidence to show that she did in fact go, we can prosecutor. and 2011, done was sent to prison on another offense. she pleaded guilty for using her teenage daughter, brandi, to sell prescription drugs. what she employing you as an assistant in that business? i was driving. yes. don was released from prison in march of 2014. but not to be the mother of alyssa, the one judge terminated her parental rights. both alyssa and were brandy sent to live with melissa. to live a life that they did not know with their biological mom. it was a family, that s a lie that i need. in 2011, having pleaded
you. what was it like to hear that? unreal. do you believe that she was in the house that night? i do. which makes me sick. i have a harder time with don than i do with james because if it wasn t for her none of it would ve happened. and that s where melissa oxley and her attorneys still can t firmly agree. only half a measure of justice since done is protected by that immunity agreement that she signed with the da. james is not the type of bore who is going to go out and commit a murder in the hopes that dawn will find it acceptable. he didn t do this as a surprise gift. don herself declined the interview. though her mom, the retired deputy sheriff, has remained in her corner. i know that a lot of people believe that, that there was a blatant conspiracy on her part.
just of the truth is all i m hoping you re giving me. i am. melissa s friend jamie was there. when she came out of the interrogation room. melissa just dropped to the floor. when she saw me. and she had a little bit of blood on her. she just said, i didn t do this. i said i, i know you didn t do it. but jamie knew there were others and not just the police, who were very suspicious of melissa. she s the prime suspect. she s the wife. she was laying in bed with him. it is a makes sense that she was a shot. did melissa do it? well, i hope not. but i mean, she could ve. why was it she shot? i thought, if she did commit the murder, she s going to make a mistake. you can only live that life so long. coming up a new clue. what police believe might be a reason for murder. a 400,000 dollar life issuance policy. she had motivation to want this to happen.
he was happy. melissa really made the difference. and if anybody would know, his best friends would. cindy and scott graham. ben was family. i mean, he was family. and then there was ben s mother love. the brightest thing in his life. the one good thing that came from his first marriage. alyssa. everybody said that he loved to me more than anything. and i think it s true. quite true, of course. so, there was little joking at first to win one man. even if one of the woman was just three. our first date alyssa was there. we were eating and i was just trying to talk to ben get to know one. and she s like, don t talk to my dad. i remember meeting her, i didn t really like her. [laughs] many he was talking to my dad. more than talking to him, as it soon turned out. ben and melissa moved in just segue together just a month later.
being pulled back to don. yes the loss of both of them, truly. and while the police were watching, don was telling her children, including brandi, that the real suspect was melissa. she was telling you that melissa committed this murder? brandi was hearing that from her mother, don, who she could see was drinking too much, getting duis, spending a few nights in jail. they started getting arrested, don and james both. , we are finding reasons to be taken to jail. and while they had james, they asked him point blank about the murder of ben. you think i called jet ben? no. did don kill? ben. no. do i know anything about the murder? no. were you involved in the plotting or murder of ben? no. i m looking you in the eyes. i did not kill him. that was it. lots of denials, no real evidence.
