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. that can t be found. coming up as news of dan s arrest starts to spread, some seem more rattled than others. he freaks out and has this look of fear in his eye. when dateline continues!
wedding, and dan and noah are in jail. what finally happened with your brother? noah says that they questioned him for a while. and then the main detective said, all right. get this guy out of here. he doesn t know anything. turns out, he really didn t. noah was released and never charged. meanwhile, rachel notified dan s parents and describes a reaction she did not expect. it was just his dad that was home. his mom was at work. so i explained what s going on to him, and he just has the opposite reaction. he s just completely so mellow and like he didn t even hear me. i remember one of the phrases he used was something like, well, he was a really good son. you know. he was a good kid. just like, did you just hear what i said? as she and a friend were leaving, rachel says she had another strange encounter. dan s brother and his girlfriend pull up and kind of
an actor who d taught him theater. it was a good bond. you know, an older dude that i looked up to. an older cat. and was, like, definitely someone i talked to about certain things in my life. the actor s name? dan wozniak. sam herr s neighbor. 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. detectives on the hunt for their prime suspect, sam herr, traced his atm card to a teenager named wesley. wesley said he got the card from of moderate-to-severe asthma that s not for sudden breathing problems.

sam s remains at a local park. but sam s torso, he told them, was still in the attic of the theater. okay. what was going on in your mind when you were dismembering the body? dismembering sam s body? i was actually smiling and laughing. okay. why do you think you were doing that? i don t know. i reached a point to where i couldn t even believe that i was doing this. i don t know. i don t know. and that next evening, dan took the stage once again in the musical nine, yet another pitch-perfect performance captured on videotape. you ve sat across from a lot more murderers than i have, but that seems astonishingly sort of cold-blooded and remorseless. it was shocking, and these were two of his so-called friends. it s horrific. it s sad. it s horrific. investigators, of course,
