detectives felt dan was finally starting to cooperate. you re a good guy. you re a good guy. you just got yourself in a bad spot, man. you want to do the right thing. i know you do. i do. all you got to do is point us over to sam, and let s close this chapter. it is done. okay? where is my phone? what s that going to do? wait for it to ring. if he was waiting for a call from sam her, it never came. but dan, from the police station, did call his bride-to-be rachel. and a strange story now took yet another turn. no, don t. don t, don t, don t, don t.
what could he possibly have to do with any of this? coming up busy acting and just days away from getting married definitely excited, but a lot of stress. dan was now also a potential witness in a murder investigation. i said, i m going to call him in the morning and just double-check.
because everette and the other detectives were beginning to believe that everything dan wozniak had been telling them was all just a grand, elaborate performance. but they still didn t know what the real story was. then the actor himself suddenly seemed to drop character. dan wanted to speak with the detectives again. what do you think s coming this time? i think he s going to give us more b.s., and he s going to add or change his story, and but he s not going to give you the truth? no. no. what s wozniak s demeanor at this point? he s just kind of beyond himself as we bring him into the interview room. and at some point he sits down and starts pulling at his hair. you said you wanted to talk to me. what s going on? i m crazy, and i did it. you did what? i killed julie, and i killed sam. okay. all right. i killed them both. all right. you didn t see that coming.
i don t know how to describe it. dan wozniak was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. dan s older brother tim, along with tim s girlfriend, was also arrested and charged with accessory to murder. detectives believed they had helped hide some evidence, including the murder weapon. wesley, the teenager who had used sam herr s bank card, was not charged with any crime. and despite his confession to police, dan pleaded not guilty. he was jailed without bond, and if convicted, could face the death penalty. a year after his arrest, dan wozniak sat down for an interview with msnbc s lockup. by then, it seemed, his story had changed again. he now claimed he did not kill sam and julie.
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. boom. as soon as he said he was talking about family problems, i said, excuse my language, i said this son of a bitch is dirty. i ll never forget that. i said this guy knows something. i don t know what he knows, but he s lying about sam. authorities were developing their own theory about dan. prosecutor matt murphy. wozniak is the guy that s protecting sam. wozniak is the friend that s helping him get money out. so police figured the best way to find sam was to talk with dan wozniak. coming up i have nothing to do with this, because my life was in danger. i m sorry. was someone threatening dan? who and why? you write me out, i m going to kill, you and worse yet when dateline continues.
