more than $60,000, in fact. sam herr s combat pay. when he was deployed, basically all the money that he was earning in the military just went into a savings account. he didn t spend it when he was deployed. reporter: and dan wozniak wanted that money? yes. reporter: and julie kibuishi? dan said he killed her to cover his tracks and to frame sam. to make it look like he was on the run and he did it. he was the one that did it. right, and that if he was disappeared completely, you d never find him. and it would all go away. reporter: but none of this was going away. especially for those left behind in the wake of two murders. steve herr, sam s dad, remembers when police showed up at his door. they came in, and they said, sam s been found. he was murdered. and for whatever reason, i said i don t know what made me say this. at least he wasn t dismembered. okay? the next morning, i get a call from the costa mesa police.
that or reporter: but just two days before dan and rachel s big day, young wesley, now in handcuffs and facing serious felony charges, was pointing the finger at his one-time mentor. remember, dan and rachel had already told police that the last time they saw sam was on friday, the day before julie was murdered, and they hadn t seen him since. so how and why would dan have sam s atm card? someone had to be lying. and if that were dan, why? sam s dad steve got phone numbers from his son s friends of just about everyone they knew. and on that list was dan wozniak s number. so i said i m going to call him in the morning, see, just double-check. reporter: and when steve got him on the phone, dan told him sam was nervous when they saw each other on friday. i said, what was he nervous about? he said, i don t know. he was talking about family problems and stuff like that.
bank records and found that sam s bank card was used at an atm in long beach, then again at a nearby pizza parlor. so i said, okay. we ve got movement here. let me see. reporter: so steve drove down to long beach to check out the bank. so i hung around for about an hour, see maybe i d see sam or sam s car because sam s car is also missing. nothing happened there, so i went to the pizza place and hung around there for about an hour. reporter: but there were no signs of sam. i took a two-mile radius from ecco s pizza, and i checked all the hotels, motels around there. i didn t see sam s car. reporter: meanwhile, detectives did something steve couldn t do. they got the images from the atm s security camera capturing the person using sam s bank card. expecting to see a picture of sam herr, detectives were in for a shock. because whoever it was taking money out of sam s account, it wasn t sam.
