i was surprised to hear it that way. i was expecting to hear that it was michael really cause, you know, i ve been learning so many things about michael and his past and all of that. you haven t had any discussions with michael about like you ve had with christopher? not like with christopher, no. no. cause me and christopher are a little bit closer than me and michael. do you know if she ever talked to michael about it? no, i don t. have a seat right here. reporter: still, edmunds decided it was time to bring in michael for a second round of questioning. and this time, the investigator turned up the heat. michael, it s over, okay? i m not playing games anymore. reporter: at first, michael said he didn t even know that becky and david were having an affair. i know about the affair with your mom and david. my mom and david? don t play stupid with me. don t play stupid with me.
emt s hurried her to the hospital, her life hanging by a thread. she still had a heartbeat. but she was in a very bad way. very, very bad way. reporter: investigator edmunds made the call to alert kay s husband. he was in los angeles for work. i was able to talk to him on the phone, let him know he needed to come back here as quick as possible. so how did he take that news? he was he was pretty devastated. i tried not to tell him on the phone. i tried to tell him, you know, i need you need to come back. there s been an accident, you know? but he he guessed pretty much what was going on. reporter: kay s husband david booked a flight home, as investigators turned their attention to the house next door. that s where kay s friend becky the mother with five kids lived. could there be another victim there? the point of entry we could see was the backdoor also there, and we found spots of blood on the back door. reporter: inside, becky s place was ransacked, but, q
that had spilled right there on the floor from, from mcdonald s. there was a mcdonald s bag on food bag on the floor and a purse. and i started seein signs of blood on on the sofa in the living room, on the on the carpet. and then you go into the foyer area, where there was a lot of blood on the walls, on the door, on the floor. so this is suggesting a moving struggle. definitely. it looks like the homeowner came home and surprised a burglar in her house, and a struggle ensued where she was beaten. reporter: the bloody path led edmunds further into the house, to a bloody hand print on the door out to the parsons garage. and you can tell there was there was more beating goin on in the garage. there was blood spatter on the walls. so she was already bleeding before she got into the garage. reporter: and that s where this apparent struggle had ended. the deputies found 41-year old kay parsons lying there on the floor. had you ever seen a scene like that? nothing
kay parsons, devoted wife to david, loving mother to derek, was gone. and so then they let me know that she had passed away. you lost your friend, kay. yes. yep. a beating death, a break-in. yes. how horrible is this for you, suzanne? one of the worst days of my life. i didn t expect it. 41 years old. i mean, you can see somebody dying of cancer or, you know, in a car wreck or something like that, but to be beaten beyond anything. did you go back? yeah. yeah. you said goodbye to kay? as much as i could. reporter: now the stakes quickly became much higher for this investigation. kay parsons had been murdered. and edmunds started thinking this killer might just be someone who knew both women, becky and kay. someone who had been right there at the scene of the crime. coming up
but, here s the thing, the authorities wouldn t even learn about the healing hands theft for months to come. even without that story about the theft, michael was shaping up to be a prime suspect in the murder. it wasn t looking real good for him. things started started piling up. reporter: then something happened that would stand the investigation on its head more violence, more mayhem, with another sudden attack. coming up. who was the victim this time? was someone stalking women in this small town? he shot me. my leg. when secrets on hot springs drive continues. man: tom s my best friend, but ever since he bought a new house. tom: it s a $10 cover? oh, okay. didn t see that on the website. he s been acting more and more like his dad. come on, guys! jump in! the water s fine!
