To me very calm. I thought maybe there was a boyfriend on the side, seem kind of love triangle. But on a dark highway, the case will take a dramatic turn. All the hair on my body was standing on edge. It made you nervous . Extremely nervous. A mysterious driver carrying ominous cargo. How did he explain that . At that time you dont. It is evidence to suggest there is some kind of conspiracy. Unraveling a mindbending plot revealed a shattering truth. Evil the only word i can think of, inhuman to do Something Like that. It was moonless night in iowa, four income the morning. The quietest of quiet hours. A small cop head down the empty highway, bound for his early shift at the police department. Thats when he saw, the corner of his eye, what was that in the ditch, maybe 30 yards off the highway, a car in trouble . He swung around. Somebody clearly missed a curb on the gravel access road. The drivers door is hanging open on it. It looks like the air bags deployed and dome light on. And the
and then the dci came and that s sent the message out that it s huge. people coming out with full suits. going in and out of the house. there s crime tape up and know and seeing what happened? and the neighbors are asking what s going on here? anxiety is like a virus. it spread fast in des moines grimes. what they were nervous. people don t just get shot in grimes, we could you magic anything happening there. and if reporters and neighbors were mystified about what happened, so was detective robyn bartholomew. i was the on-call detective. i got called at 3:30 in the morning. who confronted a messy bloody crime scene. a victim shot point blank in the head, and here was his fiancée without a mark on her. blood tends to splatter, but there wasn t a drop and angie. how far apart where? they right next to each
what happened, so was detective robyn bartholomew. i was the on-call detective, i got called out at 3:30 in the morning. who confronted a messy, bloody crime scene, a victim shot point blank in the head. and here was his fiancee without a mark on her. blood tends to spatter. but there wasn t a drop on angie. i mean, how far apart were they? right next to each other. has that ever happened in your experience that you ve encountered that before? not that i ve encountered. and did it say anything to you? that these two women in the house, one of them lying right beside the victim, were unharmed? yeah, it was suspicious. yes, and also if the killer was intent on robbery, he certainly didn t succeed. that dvd player pulled out of its place in the living room? that was it, said detective tim
said the prosecutors. david moffitt planned to get away with murder by framing a perfectly innocent man, andy wegener. what kind of a mind is behind that sort of behavior? very cold, very calculating. there was a tremendous amount of planning and premeditation that went into this murder. and he tried to execute it so that he would not be blamed, that he would get away with it. and remember that sweatshirt left behind after the shooting, as if the killer had been sloppy? in the sweatshirt was a boat registration that we could not figure out why it was there and what its meaning was at the time. ultimately, several months later, we learned that that boat registration belonged to the father of the registered sex offender that lived within a few blocks of the crime scene. so it appeared to us, once we made that connection, that that was just another attempt to cast the blame for this on somebody else. so convicting david moffitt of first-degree murder would surely be about as eas
never know. they needed to search her phone, see who she talked to in the hours and days before justin was shot to death. they also got a search warrant for david moffitt s house. and inside? no, they didn t find the murder weapon either. but they did find these strange notes, seemed to have been written by someone who had been watching justin and angie s neighborhood. those surveillance notes listed addresses in the immediate area around the crime scene. and they were very specific about when neighbors were turning on and off their lights. the creek behind the house is is it wide enough where i can jump across that? obviously, it looked like a way to make an escape once the murder was done. reporter: but then they found what looked like the mother lode a bill of sale. it was in andy wegener s name reporter: yeah! but there it was in david moffitt s house. reporter: that is, the bill of sale for a .9 mm carbine. and the name on the document, bold as brass, was indee
