the family business seemingly frozen in time. what was it like working there? we had fun. we really did. it was a lot of fun. shirley was the clerk at the company. i took care of the accounts payable and accounts receivables. shirley s husband melvin reine started the trash removal company five star enterprises in the 1970s. it was really very much a family business. shirley reine worked in the business. and his sons took part in it? his sons took part in it. but over the years as the company expanded, the lucrative business that once united the reine family quickly became the root of its unraveling. i am told that the sons did not work their territories. there were customer complaints.
people who owed shirley money. more than a decade after the killing it didn t have to happen this way. the search for answers continues. i am never going to give up hope? who did it? why? did he ever tell you he wanted-up to kill shirley? absolutely. he said he wanted it to look like a mob hit. murder on cape cod, who shot shirley reine? loretta! shirley! they say time heals. i don t believe in that. sometimes it gets worse. we were like two peas in a pod. we had a blast. i miss those times. i just miss her. yeah. i just wish it never happened. it didn t have to happen this way. it really didn t.
why, what happened? i said shirley is f ing dead. nearly inconceivable for loretta who saw her sister just hours earlier. good night. shirley reine s final day was typical. she went and spent some time after work with her sister. even though the two of them worked all day together, they would often spend their evenings together as well. the evening of may 9th was no exception. after work, shirley drove down the street to loretta s house. every night at 6:00, she would be there for dinner. and she couldn t be late. only that night. shirley was late. she arrived noticeably unsettled. disturbed that her stepson todd had been visiting his ex-girlfriend s house just two doors down. she just felt very uneasy that he was still there. i didn t think anything of it. had dinner. after dinner the two sisters watched some tv.
he got his thing. boom, boom. done. everything done. what exactly did you take from shirley reine s home? we took the safe. i saw the sex tapes. i made a judgment call not to grab them. i don t know, it was just icky. there was no cash in the $10,000 wasn t there. he got the documents. once todd reine had the documents he was looking for in that safe, a short time later, a lawsuit was filed against shirley reine. up next they put a hit out on her. she was afraid. who killed shirley reine? he wanted me to shoot shirley. go in her house and shoot her for him.
jr., was never implicated, todd, john rams, and an accomplice were all convicted of the theft and sent to prison in september 2007. which allowed investigators a unique opportunity to build shirley s murder case while their two main suspects were locked up. they definitely were trying to get john rams to flip. they went to john rams several times trying to get him to talk. and talk he did. between 2005 and 2011, john rams willingly spoke to police at least seven times. he said, i didn t do it but todd reine wanted her dead. despite his repeated denials, in december 2011, john received the stunning news that he, not todd, was being charged for the murder of shirley reine. i did everything.
