leave the house. my wife is yelling and screaming and just woke up the children. officers dispatched to the leili home that day offered to help nique leave. but, as this still photo shows, she wouldn t budge from the front porch. she wanted him to go. he wouldn t go. he wanted her to go. she wasn t going to leave without the girls. so the argument they were pretty much at an impasse. two weeks later nique leili was dead. in a house where practically everything was recorded, the prosecutor claimed it was no accident that the video covering the crucial hours when nique leili went missing was somehow corrupted. the surveillance system was in fact recording during that time period. is that correct? that is correct, yes. the prosecutor countered matt s claim that nique had somehow turned off the security system by calling the police department s i. t. guy, chris ford, as her last witness. so detective, in your professional opinion, then, did an individual have to go in and
a fear of intimacy. you know, she s got no problem with girls. but when it comes to a male, they are a threat. they are all my life, guys have used me for sex. he is getting a host of information. i have a hard time getting a word in edgewise. she yells at me in front of the kids. she throws things at me in front of the kids. all i m doing is sitting there going, please stop. please stop. do you remember what the doctor said. is this the person you want to be? matt leili said he considered getting a court order to protect him from his wife. has she ever been violent? yeah. i have pictures of myself with bruises on me. my father is a witness of her throwing a knife at my face. i am 250 pounds, 6 5 . she s 98 pounds soaking wet. i m being beaten up by my wife. who is going to believe me. he s telling you that she s bats. that s what he s saying. as for the night nique disappeared he stated the previous friday that they had actually gone out to eat and gone to a movi
corporal chris ford had been an i. t. guy before joining the police force. richer came down and said, hey, do you mind taking a look at this? i start looking for what we call low-hanging fruit. what s easily available. that s when i started digging through and finding the audio files. nobody had listened to the audio files before because investigators were so focused on finding video from the night nique disappeared. that s just what ford did at first too. i basically looked at the video in raw format, which is basically computer language. so, something was recorded there. yes. it just wouldn t play. eventually ford determined the screwed up files were no accident. someone had deleted those files and then run a cleanup program to clear the data base logs. not once, but twice. the only two times the cleanup drives were run were the days that he reported her missing and the day her body was found. i ll never forget the day he comes to my cube and says, these videos were d
she s been missing for a week now. she has three kids who would love to see her home. amy robinson told reporters that her 44-year-old sister, mother of three, was hardly the kind of person who would just up and disappear without a word to anyone. i m just so worried about my sister. we just have no idea where she is, or what what s happened to her. as fate would have it, the question of where nique was would be answered soon enough. but even now, the question of what happened to nique remains unclear. i am sick of playing your games. what is clear from the recordings she left behind is that nique leili lived a trouble and tormented life. this is what i live day in and day out is keep my mouth shut, my head down, and do exactly what s expected of me. tell me about nique s personality. she was very funny. she and i used to laugh all the time. and she was very feisty. she would say what she meant. she
it s always the darkest side of the moon? the darkest side, absolutely, yes. as for the night nique disappeared, the defense tried to show that nique leili was once again acting unstable, behaving erratically. the defense attorney called matt s father, matthias, to verify his son s version of the last fight between matt and nique. the one where she allegedly flashed him. she tore off her top and says, come on, let s go, let s f like a family. were you expecting any sort of comment like that? never. i never. once nique disappeared, clegg says, matt leili inquired about having his wife involuntarily committed and even hired a divorce attorney. a man who knows his wife is already dead, he says, wouldn t have done either of those things. he did not really want to divorce her. he wanted to let her know, look, here are your options. you can go get help
