i couldn t imagine anyone would ever want to hurt her. i had no idea what could ve happened. married to her high school sweetheart, family meant everything to her. there was always a lot of talk about children. she wanted grandchildren, fast. but it all went up in smoke the night she died in a mysterious and monstrous inferno. who is to the right of the mattresses that we found the remains of julie. shocking as the blaze was, it was nothing compared to what investigators found in the embers. it s a bullet. yes. so this woman has been shot to death. yes. the obvious suspects. neighborhood thieves. there were half a dozen house burglaries unsolved. investigators also dug into a favorite theory, a husband. i was angry. i felt that the detectives were on a manhunt and they were after my dad. then a pop to text the might just be a clue. you could say maybe she s driving events here. that s correct. the truth, beyond twisted. leaving behind smoking a
he left to go to a bar, to go cruising, or something, and then he goes and sits on the river front. like, he s never done it before in his entire life. so when he stepped down, you thought, if either do this thing? yeah. i deftly wasn t saying it out loud, and i wasn t ready to accept it, but i definitely was moving in the direction the only thing that makes sense at this point, is that he committed the crime. after months of wrestling with his thoughts, zach decided it was time to send his dad a letter. i put in the letter my opinion was that you did it. you know, you took away the last chance that i had at rebuilding relationship with my mom. you know, you re no longer allowed to contact me. i don t want you to ask about me to anyone. wow. to your dad, you were dead to me. exactly. his brother s wife, ali, had started to feel that
all away. the friends working theory was a botched break-in. they d heard about the neighborhood s recent rash of burglaries, maybe that s what happened to julie. i come in, they saw the dog start to bark. it caused really to wake up and they got scared and they shot are. it made perfect sense. before detective carter, the burglary theory of the crime wasn t panning out. even as they sorted through the rubble, detectives at the scene found untouched valuables, two saves, a cache of guns and julie s purse, sitting in plain sight. do you think an intruder would ve grabbed it? you think. so, carter set out to follow the most promising lead he had, who was this woman, diana? the text message or who wondered if keith made it home okay. he had described her as a guy
