there were photos of bob mcclancy lying dead in his recliner in 2006. what was it like to see those pictures? disturbing. here where the pictures that told an entirely different story to what shawn and jen knew. one picture, bob would have a pistol, and in another picture he would have a bottle of pills in the other. and another picture, bob would have a bottle of pills and nothing in the other hand. it was odd how he was in the chair. the way his leg was placed, looking back at, that you could tell that that was body manipulation. the pictures didn t appear to be police photos because they were all apparently taken before any police arrived on the scene. so you called the cops? right away. shawn, conflicted, was suddenly faced with the prospect that he may be implicating his own mom. torn, he called nate, the va investigator, and began to tell him all about bob mcclancy s death in 2006. he said i want to talk to you about this and get it off
write it, and then nate got an idea, a wonderful, devious idea. which is true in a way, isn t it? yes. what if nate arranged the schedule so that martha ann and chuck had their appointments at the very same time. who would get in the wheelchair there, he wondered? what happened? coming up, a conniving couple caught in a trap. this can t be true. when dateline continues.
possibly, evidence of an unimaginable crime. coming up, nate would launch a special investigation to learn the truth. we started doing surveillance on charles and martha ann. chuck in a wheelchair? exactly what were they up to. a crime far darker than anything investigators imagined. it just, really, really gave you the sense of whoever did this was very evil. when dateline continues. when dateline continues. ion back pain. yo! uh! ha! ha!

listening as the call began. we talked for about 45 minutes to one hour. he is like, hey mom, the kids were on the computer over the weekend, when i got in the trash i found like over 100 photographs in there of bob dead. i asked her why the pictures were there. and she said, photos of bob? she started saying, i think those are police photos, shawn. he said mom, these photos are not police photos. he has a pill bottle and pistol, and then they are not there. her idea of that was to say shawn, delete those photographs. that was what we were looking for. what do you think when you got of fthe phone call? did you think, this woman was part of it? i really started thinking that she is guilty. she has more of a role in bob s death, then she put on. nate agreed, and with this
9/11 attacks. and charles was also telling people that she is a full bird colonel. nobody questioned her then? no. they believed her. but nate discovered that military glory, that big time government career didn t exist. any of it. there was no high-profile state department job in washington d. c., no travel abroad air force two with the vice president, no secret undisclosed locations. they were all the fantastic stories of tough sophisticated con artists. a con that wasn t about social prestige either, it was about cash. chuck and his documents? i knew we had a very substantial fraud case because those documents in particular were used to get benefit money from the va and social security
