four days later, he took a turn for the worse. way worse. holly called her father, matts father a 9-1-1. i got a call from holly saying that there s something wrong with matt. so i talked to, matt and he said that i do not feel, good i fell off the couch and i m really dizzy. so i said, get in the ambulance. holly s father, mike arrived and followed him to the hospital, where things went bad fast. it was nerve-racking because all we kept hearing about was, okay they re trying to dial in on his kidney issue. well, then that medication was making his heart go so than they try to address the heart. and they kept seesawing back and forth. and nobody seem to know really what it was causing? no. matt faded in and out of consciousness. doctors told holly and family members, go home, get some rest. and then another few hours later, they called everybody back to the hospital, right away, they said. one look at the icu and big brother mark felt his world come apart.
agonizing death of his kid brother matt marc podolak marched with satisfaction as holly mcfeeture walked into the courtroom i finally felt like we were going to make this happen. please rise! again, the case against holly was possibly a leech no guarantees here but, mark knew it. i was extremely nervous. oh my gosh! being in that courtroom and you don t know how it s going to turn out you have no idea how it s going to turn out. truth was, the prosecution didn t have much to work with. without any hard evidence to pin on holly, their case boiled down to a process of elimination. someone did this to mad. who else could ve been? other than his fiancée. in this case, telling a story would be crucial because there wasn t a whole lot else to do, right? absolutely. prosecutor brian began his story with the scene inside the hospital room the night matt died. his body was shutting down.
was a lot of people there that he didn t get along with. he was considered one of the supervisors. and he would tell me different stories on how so and so would get into a fight. and, remember the 10,000 life insurance about as a possible motive for murder? holly said she didn t know it was life insurance until after matt was dead. as far as i, knew the only thing he had at work was the 401k plan. i didn t find out that he had life insurance until at the funeral home when his uncle told us. the obituary was it ended up being me. and we found that out at the funeral. but, how about that night in the karaoke bar? earl s gotta die. do you know that song? yeah. and laughing about it with the reference about abusive relationship with the female poisons the man and he dies. it s a song. yes, it s a karaoke song. well! over and over, the
what happened to her? what was the sentence? she was given the first time offenders program, so she didn t do any jail time. then, there was the life insurance. it wasn t much, including matt 401(k) amounted to just $15,000. but here s what made matt s brother mark suspicious. my brother was talking about a couple of days before removing her from the life insurance policy, removing her from, as a beneficiary of the policy in the 401 k. and that s how serious it was getting. and so, holly actually got 10,000 of that insurance, it seemed to mark to confirm what he had been thinking since the beginning. she must have killed him. in my mind, there was nobody else. there was no other way that it could ve happened. and none. so, the first reaction is shock. what s the second reaction? anger. and then sadness. how dare anybody do that to my little brother. how dare they? but really, 10,000 in left
prosecution with and 401(k). he was worth $15,000 tour, if he died. that was clearly not a motive, really. i mean it s chump change, basically, right? $15,000 for some person might be worth 150,000 for another. interesting theory. trick question, persuade the jury that the hardworking committed young mother, the woman who was always volunteering to help others, who coached t-ball teams could, at the same, time be a devious cold blooded murder. yes, absolutely typical said the prosecution. star witness. still to come, the man who knew all about the violence and secrets and kissing in telling. coming up holly melt stunning court. what happened? when dateline continues.
