until the time ran up on the phone. and he was pretty solidly in your corner? oh, yeah, without a doubt. and mike was going to make sure his nephew didn t spend his life locked up. he had worked as a police officer and was now hunting for anything that might prove madison s innocence. he didn t do it. that s not possible. coming up no dna, no blood on madison. not on his clothes, not on his hands. if madison had committed this crime, he d shot both his parents at pretty close range, he d have some blood on him. he d have some forensic evidence. this is the same make and model of the gun. same make. with intriguing detective work about the shooting when dateline continues. r store, you ll find a better life. it all starts with the most innovative technology.
and said my kid came home from your house under the influence of something, and i want to know why. so michael was embarrassed at that point. michael calls april and says you need to get to my house. we ve got to deal with this. chris has a twin brother mike who thought madison s dad had good reason to be embarrassed. michael had a reputation to protect in eclectic. he was the former mayor, former fire chief, very well-known. how dare you embarrass me in this community, so i m sure he was (bleep). i don t blame him. when michael holton walked into the house, he found the remnants of a teenage party, homemade bongs were scattered throughout the house, a box that smelled suspicious. that was it. and what he did, he called
he was the best paramedic i. new will he went. chris speculated that on the day of the shootings, michael was using the latest problem with their son as a way to win april back. it s an opportunity to for michael to say look, the two of us work together, this probably wouldn t have happened. she says, it s too late for this conversation. that ship has sailed. and i think at that point michael just snapped i think michael dilip will then killed himself. i think michael couldn t face the world knowing he killed his wife. mike learned madison s dad might have thought about suicide annui in the past. it was right there in the pages of his diary. to april he wrote, i just can t go on knowing you are with somebody else, and it was either me or the both of us. you read it, and it clearly indicates a person who is not in their right state of mind. madison s uncles shared
couldn t do anything right in the marriage. by summer 2016 she was done. april filed paperwork for a divorce. i think she was at peace with her decision. was mike at peace with it? no. no, mike was not. too late. april had made her decision, and on september 11th, 2016, april only answered michael s call because the latest family crisis was about madison. obviously madison had thrown a party and so they had to talk to madison about it, and she was like i m going to have to go over there. sounds like she didn t want to go over to mike s? no, she did not want to go. she did not, but she was going to. i mean, she needed to go for madison. so had michael holton just snapped in a fit of sorrow and rage? that s what it looked like to investigators at first.
