vylet testified against her. knowing all the details that they unraveled and the lies over time, and looking at her and going, how dare you? reporter: vylet told the jury that the night they learned sam had disappeared, while dan was wondering if he was the last person to see sam. rachel is telling dan to, shut up. shut up. that s not what happened, dan. your messed up memories are screwing up my story. reporter: the jury also heard from chris williams, the jazz musician who spent hours with rachel the day of the murders. and like detectives, chris thinks rachel was an accessory before the murders, not just after them. there is not a doubt in my mind that rachel knew. reporter: ahead of time? not a doubt. reporter: chris also came to believe that when rachel called him that day and asked him to come back to the apartment, it was not to return his $20. that s what the police told me.
he s a psychopath. he s a pathological liar. what he did to those two is unthinkable. but rachel had nothing to do with that. reporter: yes, she did, said prosecutor matt murphy, she lied, trying to help dan get away with murder. everything that mr. medina just said about daniel wozniak is accurate. he is a pathological liar. he is a monster. but he s her little monster, she knows him. and all of this stuff goes on right under her nose. reporter: the jury took five hours to reach a verdict. we the jury in the above entitled actions find the defendant rachel may buffett, guilty. and when you heard the sounds of the clicks of the cuffs, to me, it was a sweet sound because her arrogance and her lies are now caught up with her.
reporter: back in 2002, at 18, sam herr was charged in the murder of another teenager. he was acquitted. but sam s dad knew that in hindsight, it didn t look good. that doesn t buy you a lot of rhythm from law enforcement? no, and i understood that. that s why it was imperative to start looking immediately. reporter: steve wanted to find his son, to prove he was innocent. orange county prosecutor matt murphy also wanted to find sam quickly for entirely different reasons. you got a dead woman in his apartment. yet he s missing. and then you factor in afghanistan. and you start thinking, okay, he s he s a trained killer. he d been accused of this before. and you think, okay, this this guy is potentially very dangerous. reporter: the detectives and the dad hunted sam independently but on parallel tracks. detectives spoke with sam s neighbors. i saw sam that day and had a short conversation with sam. reporter: rachel and dan said
club after a decision to use doral a clear review of the president to enrich himself with taxpayer money. bernie sanders had a rally this weekend after facing a heart attack last month. sanders told the crowd i m more than ready to assume the office of the president of the united states. now back to dateline. welcome back to dateline. i m natalie morales. dan wozniak confessed to police he shot sam herr for her money and point police toward sam after he killed him. now a witness was about to step forward with information that would push dan s fiancee rachel
off each other and she was waiting for her next line. reporter: remember, rachel and julie had been friends. her reaction when she heard what sam supposedly did to julie did not seem to match that. i m sorry that i m not the kind of person who just goes berserk and loses their mind when they hear this, and i just sit there in shock and soak it in. you weren t in shock. you weren t in shock. reporter: the young actress was not convincing her audience. everett learned dan had called rachel from jail before his confession. the jail, of course, recorded those calls. babe, um, listen to me. i m gonna go do something right now, and you re not gonna see me for the rest of your life. do you understand that? no! no! she doesn t say, what is it? her response is no, no, no. i think she realizes that her
