another friend is missing. this guy s potentially we are confident he was our guy. two mysteries to solve. but one recent witness. rachel details i need to sedate. before i told the truth to the best of my capability. police wondered had another murder been planned? they said if you would have gone back that day, they wanted to kill you. did rachel have a secret what did you do? i think you know what i did. would she keep it? this is as diabolical as any case i ve ever seen. or was the curtain about to close? rachel is kind of the last piece? correct. they re trying to say i m somebody that i m not. this is my life. this is my entire future. i m innocent. hello and welcome to dateline. rachel buffett and daniel wozniak were struggling actors. money was tight but they were in love and about to tie the knot. but those plans were interrupted when someone was found dead at their apartment complex. at the center of this mystery, police wanted
