the scariest thing that you will ever go through. my whole world crumbled. cara was the kind of teacher students just love. she was a rock star at her school. with the same man for 20 years, enjoying life together by the beach. the balcony was like our second living room, you can hear the waves on the shore. but she was all alone that night when, according to her, an intruder burst into her bedroom. i was scared to death. i didn t have any other choice. you shot him? i shot him. she said the man attacked her. he told me he was going to kill me. she d been assaulted. she defended herself. so why did others call it murder? my very first words were, she set him up. cara s account kept changing. it hit me just how different all of these stories were and how unbelievable they were. lies. it s all lies. what really made cara pull that trigger? the rug was pulled out from underneath her. she was shocked. and she was angry? yes. a jury would
she didn t seem so upset in that video. it was around 2:00 a.m. at police headquarters when cara revealed why j.j. was at her place that night, even though he d left her, moved out, three weeks earlier. it was quite a story. remember, cara met a new man after the breakup with j.j. also a sheriff s deputy, his name was scott. scott holderbaum. for a week or so, you were seeing this guy. you were having some it was fun. it was fun. i was giddy. i was like a school kid and i my teacher in the room next to me, i d run over there and say, he just texted me, what do i say? i hadn t really been on a date in 20 years. the day of the shooting, cara texted scott a very explicit text, complete with intimate selfie, inviting him to come over for a tryst. so embarrassing. i had never sent suggestive text messages, let alone body parts, it was mortifying. it would be sad if it wasn t so tragic. but it is tragic. but he couldn t come, is that what happened? oh, scott was at work.
he worked from 7:00 at night until 7:00 in the morning. i was joking around, why don t you just skip work and come over. so, you knew he couldn t. you were just teasing him. yeah. so, she said, she sent the very same x-rated selfie and a similiar invitation to j.j. and j.j., though he was seeing someone else, came right over. would he have thought of it as breakup sex? maybe a one last go around with my girl. yeah, we re all nostalgic. there s a country song, we don t have to be lonely tone. you know, and then tomorrow we ll go our separate ways. cara told detectives that as she and j.j. were in bed together, he phone kept beeping. incoming text messages. chirp chirp. yeah. so i ignored it. it was scott. it went off again. and i told him, just ignore it. just ignore it. and he leaned over and he grabbed the phone and he opened it and he said, who the hell is scott holderbaum? that, cara told police, is when j.j. saw she d sent the same picture, the same invitat
