bedroom doors to keep the other out. scott and anne became two sides of the same coin, bound together but unable to face one another. it was a toxic atmosphere that seemed beyond repair. riley began recording his interactions with his own mother. that s why he was wearing a gopro the night he went looking for his missing dad. by that point, the family home was already quite familiar to the laurel pd. how many times did police come to that house? they knew us. regularly. they were there a lot. you lost count. yeah. we didn t lose count. between 2012 in the start of 2017, laurel police responded to that home at least 15 times. sometimes, it was and calling.
truck. correct. and nothing, none of scott s stuff was there. right. so because of that, we were really limited to what the jury could hear about what really went on in that house. do they get a real perspective to, they get a real picture of what to life was like there? i don t think they did. the jury didn t get to hear just how toxic that marriage was. didn t get to see the entirety of those police files on the family. because you are stupid. and didn t get to hear any of those neighbors recordings of anne. still, prosecutors said and was the only person who hated scott enough to kill him. it s personal. you think anne killed scott,
there was a lot of emotion involved and the way that scott was assaulted. because whoever murdered him, shot him. he falls to the ground, they could ve shot him again. but instead, they choose to beat him to death. that is correct. which sounds like anger. it is. as an fbi agent for 23 years, scott had come into contact with plenty of bad guys. many of whom, might have carried a grudge about scott putting his hands where his cuffs on them. so they looked at scott s cases. and found a whole lot of nothing. there had never been any threats in his past that i am aware of. there had never been anything like that that i would get to curse you. and even though that does happen. it does. but that did not seem to apply with him? that is correct it did not
apply with him. so what about scott second career? after fixing up his own house. scott had bought several properties in the neighborhood. he was now a landlord with more than a dozen tenants. we did expect that maybe some tenants had blood blood. they had found out that he had recently victims someone from some of his rental properties. maybe one of them angry at him to want him dead? we receive that information. we followed up on that as a lead. a lead that like others, did not go anywhere. as they take through the possibilities, investigators were thinking the heart of this mystery was closer to home. that included considering scott son, riley. detectives know that the person who discovers the body is sometimes the murderer. i want you to listen to me. i want you out front on the porch. have a seat.
as he began his investigation, detective henderson thought it best to keep some details of the murder to himself. ma am? detective henderson. so as he talked with scott s wife, anne, in the couple s kitchen, henderson was careful not to share everything that he knew. where is scott? the last time i saw scott was early, early this morning. there is a man deceased over in the yard, okay? there is a deceased man in my yard? like who is it? anne seemed to have no idea what was going on. and if you re wondering why anne had not been out searching for her husband earlier, that answer is that after two decades of marriage, and and scott were living separate lives under the same roof.
