who gave police two entirely different accounts of the morning of the murder. first he said sandra came by to get the kids, then a minute later said she didn t. now remember, darren and sandra were going through a divorce and a heated child custody battle. so, darren apparently thought it would be a good idea to take note of run-ins with sandra, like the times she was late in picking up the boys, hoping it would one day help him in court. you know, going through the calendar, what i found really interesting is that it s pretty detailed from january 1st every day, all the way up until the 24th, is the very last entry. and on the 25th, you ve got nothing. why is that important? because sandra was murdered that very morning, the morning of the 25th. about the time when she would have been picking up her sons. you would expect darren to have wrote down in there that
the grandparents or her brother and everything was going to be okay. and exactly one year after the murder, there was, indeed an arrest. but it wasn t darren. coming up we have to get this case solved. a new theory about sandra s murder. she may have been smuggling drugs and not even known it. and a threat from her father. if i ever figure out a way to get away with it, it ll happen. when dateline continues. get ready. it s time for the savings event of the year. the homeandautobundle xtravafestasaveathon! at this homeandautobundle xtravafestasaveathon, there s no telling what we might bundle! homeandautobundle xtravafestasaveathon! bundle cars, trucks, colonials, bungalows, and that weird hut your uncle lives in.
we all believed it was proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the case was not going to get any better than what we had. and prosecutor iseri finally agreed to present the case to a grand jury. and in october 2012, the grand jury indicted darren for sandra s murder. so, was larry s quest for justice finally over? oh, no. not by a long shot. coming up this case is the textbook example of why you do not insert politics into people s lives. a new prosecutor, a new delay. kauai is a murderer s paradise. if you want to kill somebody, you have probably 80%, 90% of getting away with it. when dateline continues including the covid-19 virus,
sandra never showed up to pick up the boys, that he had to take off from work. but he didn t. nor did he call her to find out why she was a no-show. ponce theorized that sandra actually did go to darren s house to get the boys. but there was an argument of some sort and she left without them. darren, still angry, followed her home. parking his truck on a street behind sandra s cul-de-sac. this path, you know, basically leads to the cul-de-sac. and her house is just three houses down. right when you come to the end of this walkway, very, very close, easy access. so you think that darren came up, followed her, had the confrontation there, killed her with a ligature, choked her to death. then what d he do? you know, i think after the the incident happened over here, he went back as where he came and just took off and headed back home. and nobody saw him.
