Who could be this sick in the head to do this . Potential suspects would pile up, so why did Loved Ones distrust the Lead Detective . He was off Track Right from the beginning. We were begging them, take him off the case. A case, building to an explosive reckoning. The world blows up. The world blows up. Almost surreal. No one can say that they forgive the devil. . Hello And welcome to dateline. Heather bogle was thrilled to get a job at the local whirlpool factory, even if it meant working the graveyard shift. This way her days were still free for her daughter. Then the young mother was murdered. The search for her killer would quickly lead to a hAndful of suspects. Soon, the family would find officials were hiding a mountain of dirty laundry. Heres Josh Mankiewicz with jagged. There arent too many places left in this country where youll find americans still making the things americans use. One of them is this plant in northern ohio. Inside these walls is where an astonishingly long AndTwisting Trail began. By the time it ended, it had touched a shattered family, a stunned Law Enforcement AgencyAnd a surprisingly large collection of potential suspects whose names became known to all. Often on dateline we tell the stories of families And detectives who find themselves bound together by the same murder. Who end up working Side By side toward a common goal, sometimes pursuing the same investigation from two different angles. And often each can wind up appreciating the efforts of the other. This wasnt that. At the center of this Human Cyclone of distrust is a young mom who worked in that plant. Heather bogle worked overnights. One Eighthour Shift after another. A single parent with a singular mission. Her main focus was always her daughter. Heathers younger sister, jen. She wasnt too concerned about getting into a relationship. It was more being responsible And taking care of her kid, making sure she was working enough hours to support them both. You look up to her . Yeah, she was more like a parent to me than she was a sister. Even though she was only 18 months older . Yeah,cause she always looked out for me. At 28, Heather Bogle was mostly looking out for her 5yearold daughter, mckenzie. Heather had never married mckenzies father, And sister jen says heathers romantic life had never really worked as well as her professional one. There was definitely a lot of guys who wanted to be her boyfriend. She was very pretty. When everybody says, like, her smile was the best smile they ever seen, that is completely true. Carmella badillo was the closest of close friends. When i say that she made an impact on people, she touched their soul, not their heart. Heather bogle sliced up each day into a lifesized jigsaw puzzle. After clocking out at whirlpool around 6 00 a. M. , shed sleep during the day, waking in time to pick up mckenzie from day care. And then the two could have an evening together until the Spin Cycle began again around 10 00 p. M. Her Factory Job made it all possible. Heathers cousin, pat harger, was also a coworker. I remember the day she got her first check. She was overjoyed. And she was thrilled. You know what i mean . Almost like she hit the lottery. That schedule went like clockwork until april 9th, 2015. Thats Heather Punching out at 6 17 a. M. , wearing a whirlpool tshirt. We dont know for sure what happened next. We do know she didnt pick up mckenzie later that day. At first, jen thought maybe heather had overslept. I call, And her phone went straight to voicemail, over And over And over, And i which was unusual. Very unusual. The hours passed, AndNo One had seen heather. The family called police And were told to give it some time. That didnt work for jen, who along with a couple of heathers friends, made these flyers And started putting them everywhere. Sort of with every Passing Minute youre getting a little bit more frantic. Definitely. I just kept trying to tell myself that shes okay. Were gonna find her. Theres gotta be some reasonable explanation. Except there wasnt. So the family filed a missing persons report with the Andusky-county'>SAndusky County Sheriffs Office. And that put them in touch with Detective Sean Oconnell. Soon, oconnell was looking at Heathers Phone records. I think her phone was last pinged, give or take, around 9 20. That ping fixed Heathers Phone in an area nearly six miles wide. The Cell Company couldnt narrow it down any more. And then her phone stops. Then her phone stops. Yeah. Either her phone had been destroyed or her phone obviously was was shut off or lost power in some form or fashion. While the search continued, oconnell started finding out as much as he could about Heather Bogle. One of the first things he learned was that heather was in the midst of trying something new. She had begun dating a woman, which is where carmella comes in. Were you in love with her . Absolutely. Was she in love with you . Absolutely. Youre sure of that . Yeah. As weve all learned too often And too well, love can lead to jealousy. Carmella And heather fought, And oconnell heard they had recently broken up. Whatd you find out about the nature of Heathers Relationship with carmela . I dont think it was a relationship that heather truly wanted to be in. That was my take on it from talking to family primarily. I think heather was mixed on, do i wanna be with carmela . Do i wanna be with other persons . And then the wondering about where heather was stopped. The day after she vanished, sheriffs deputies found heathers 12yearold Olds Alero in an apartment buildings parking lot. It wasnt where heather or her family lived. The car was locked, And on the front seat a hAndwritten note. That notes from carmella. Whats it say . The note pertained to an argument that they were involved in, how much she loves heather And that type of thing. Detectives opened the trunk, And then Heather Bogle was missing no longer. Shed been shot twice And badly beaten. Bruises on her ankles And wrists indicated shed been bound. She was wearing a Mickey Mouse tshirt, which wasnt hers. And it didnt have any holes in it. Meaning someone had dressed heather after she was murdered. And that shooting didnt happen in the trunk not enough blood there And no bullet holes. And there was one more thing. Something downright weird. Heathers killer had taken a scissors to her long hair. Cut it unevenly, close to her scalp. What do you make of that . I thought it was odd. And it made me believe that whoever did this probably did it out of anger. Anger was only one of the emotions Heathers Family was feeling. Im in tears. My wife says, whats wrong . And i said, they just found heather. My gut just fell to the floor. I think i was in shock. I cant even comprehend that this is even real life. It was, And now Detective Sean Oconnell began a reallife investigation. So, whod wanna kill Heather Bogle . You know, i dont know. It wouldnt take him long to find suspects. Thats suspects, plural. The detective gets his first lead from a neighbor in that apartment building. What did she see . Coming up she tells me between 1 00 And 3 30 in the morning she sees the victims vehicle being parked And a subject getting out wearing some sort of a hoodie.

In high school, Heather Bogle auditioned for a game show. As a young woman, she wanted to be a nurse. As a mom, she loved her daughter. And now, way ahead of time, she was gone. SAndusky county, ohio, sheriffs Detective Sean Oconnells investigation began with some basic forensics. Fortunately, the Coroners Office was able to locate some dna underneath her fingernails. Was that dna in the national database . It did not come back to anybody. Oconnell started asking questions near where Heathers Body had been found, at the Somerton Apartments. I talked to a female, And she tells me sometime between 1 30 And 3 00 in the morning she sees the victims vehicle being parked And a subject getting out of the Drivers Side wearing some sort of a hoodie, And taking off on foot heading in a northern direction. Man or woman . Couldnt tell. Thats your killer. Thats my person being responsible for dropping off the vehicle with the victims body. Investigators went looking for Security Footage that might help i. D. The person in the hoodie. At the same time, it was clear Heathers Car wasnt the primary crime scene, so oconnell says he brought in a Cadaver Dog, thinking that Killing Ground was somewhere close by. So, im looking for someplace thats somewhat secluded, someplace thats indoors that this crime may have occurred. Didnt find anything. So i thought, you know what . Lets bring in the Cadaver Dog back to the Somerton Street apartments to where the vehicle was found. And the dog automatically alerts on apartment b, which happens to be the apartment of Keyona Bor. Keyona bor was a 25yearold single mother, whod lived there about a year. Oconnell says he knew her through her longtime boyfriend, Someone Oconnell described as a Drug Dealer. An autopsy found Heather Bogle had marijuana in her system, AndDetective Oconnell thought heather might have gone to the Somerton Apartments to buy more of it. So he paid keyona a visit. And keyona appeared to be very evasive, not wanting to talk to us for one reason or another, which i thought was a little odd. Oconnell said something else also made him suspicious of Keyona Bor. Obviously one of the things we did was go into keyonas facebook account, And we noticed that keyona had a theme of Mickey Mouse, clothing that she was known to wear that was Mickey Mouse related. Because, remember when we found the victim, the victim was wearing a Xl Red tshirt with a Mickey Mouse face on it. Heather wouldnt wear a Size Xl. No. Would Keyona Bore wear a Size Xl . Yes. Circumstantial . Sure. Then investigators found Security Footage from a nearby Grocery Store that seemed to show Heather Bogles Car Driving in the direction of the Somerton Apartments. The video is of vhs quality. Its not real clear. It appears to be the victims vehicle. And its the right time. The only other Car Oconnell saw on that video during those early morning hours was a white suv. It was heading in the same direction toward the Somerton Apartments. Oconnell wanted to know more about that car. Cant tell the Make Or Model . Cannot. Anybody involved in this case drive a white suv . There were some pictures of Omar Satchel being taken where hes associated with a white suv, yes. This is Omar Satchel. He was friends with Keyona BorAnd had been seen at the Somerton Apartments in the days And weeks before Heathers Murder. He had a lengthy criminal record, ranging from Drug Offenses to some violent crimes. More importantly, this is a photo from omars instagram account showing him in a white suv. That helped spur oconnell forward. And even though he had no Murder WeaponAnd no eyewitnesses, oconnell says he continued to pick up talk that Omar Satchel, Keyona BorAnd as many as two others were somehow involved. He says he heard from an informant that someone had disposed of a gun in the sAndusky River Right after the murder. Oconnells divers couldnt find it. That did not make him think twice. You still think its a good investigation. I think its yes, i do. I truly do. And so oconnell had Omar Satchel arrested on unrelated weapons charges, hoping hed be able to add murder to that. And oconnell named his suspects in Heather Bogles murder publicly in the newspapers. A day of reckoning was coming. One suspect is about to make an explosive accusation of her own. Aimed at her accuser. Coming up you knew Detective Oconnell before all this began. Correct. And there was some Bad Blood between the two of you . Correct.

So powerful, it keeps oneupping itself. Can your internet do that . Detective Sean Oconnell thought he was on his way to figuring out who had killed Heather Bogle. He named three suspects, all of whom were connected to the Somerton Apartments where Heathers CarAnd body were found. Oconnells theory was that heather had gone to that Apartment Complex to buy drugs. Im thinking that shes there to make maybe some sort of a purchase for personal use. And then something on the bad side had happened at that point. Oconnell suspected heather may have bought drugs from Keyona Bor who was living at the Somerton Apartments when heather was murdered. You ever sell marijuana to heather . No, i didnt never sold drugs. Investigators found some people who thought they might have seen heather in that Apartment Complex before. You never had seen her. I dont recall seeing heather. I pretty much stayed to myself And minded my business. Why would a Cadaver Dog lead police from the trunk of Heathers Car into your building And almost to your apartment . I dont believe that they led them to my door like they told the media. I believe that he just fabricated that piece of evidence. Accusing Law Enforcement of making up evidence is usually a losing proposition. Keyona bor said this was all about history. You knew Detective Oconnell before all this began. Correct. And there was some Bad Blood between the two of you . Correct. What was the nature of that . He pretty much had, like, a personal vendetta against my childs father. And you think you just got caught in the middle of that . Correct. I think i was a familiar face in the right place for him at the right time for him. A perfect opportunity. Remember, oconnell says he believed keyona wore Mickey Mouse apparel like the tshirt in which heather was found. Keyona says that isnt true either. That wasnt your tshirt that Heather Bogle was found in . No. Detective oconnell says that when they came to your door And asked whether you knew Heather Bogle, that you seemed evasive. Correct. Why would you have been evasive . I was evasive because i was smoking marijuana at the time And i get a knock on my door And i crack the door And the police was at my door. So, if you seemed evasive And closed the door, its its because i was smoking actually. Oconnells other Primary Suspect was Omar Satchel. Did you know Heather Bogle . No. Never met her . Never met her, never been in the same room with her in my life. I didnt even know what she looked like till somebody showed me on their phone. Like Keyona Bor, Omar Satchel says Oconnells Investigation was essentially a frame job. Honestly, i just think they were looking for someone to pin it on, And as my lawyer told me at the time, i was the perfect scapegoat. Why were you the perfect scapegoat . Im africanamerican, And i had priors, i had a record. And that he definitely does. This is your record, And it is it is the proverbial record that is as long as my arm. So its not exactly shocking that they thought you could have been a suspect in this. I mean, i would understAnd that. Im like, i Cant Help you. I dont know anything about this. What do you want me to do . I volunteered my dna, i volunteered a mouth swab. And omars dnawas not a match for what was found under heathers fingernails. Oconnell thought Omars Friend Kayree jeffery might have played a part in the killing, but he wasnt a match either. Neither was Keyona Bor. Omar had an alibi for the day of Heathers Murder. And as for that photo of omar in the white truck. Im taking a picture in the rearview mirror. That picture was taken two years before i ever even came to fremont. That truck has never even been in fremont, ohio. After having their patience tried for four months, Heathers Family came to the conclusion that Sean Oconnell was dead wrong. My Gut Instinct was that sean just wasnt doing what he was supposed to be doing. Everything he was doing was wrong. Heathers family thought the real suspect was someone much closer to heather And they thought the best clue might be that haircut given to Heather Bogle by her killer. Coming up stories of Bad Blood between heather And her brother. They were fighting a lot . Oh, yeah. He knew what to say that would get under her skin. It was fair to assume that heather And didnt always seem Eye To eye. I felt if i shamed heather, ill shame her into doing the right things. Do you regret that . Yeah, definitely. And concerns about her exgirlfriend. There was never a question if she loved my sister, but did she lover this much that she went crazy And killed her . I remember telling her, youre Dead To Me. Youre Dead To Me . When dateline continues. Ontinues you know how some carriers give you so little for your old or busted phone, you just end up living with it . I dont think so.

When a Truck Hit my car, the Insurance Company Wasnt fair. I didnt know what my case was worth. So i called the Barnes Firm. I was hit by a car And needed help. I called the Barnes Firm, that was the best call i couldve made. Im rich barnes. Its hard for people to know how much their Accident Case is worth. Let our Injury Attorneys help you get the best result possible. Detective Sean Oconnell had the Barnes FirmInjury Attorneys call one eight hundred, Eight Million what he thought were three, possibly four, good suspects in Heather Bogles murder. The way he saw it, she had been the victim of a Drug Deal that had turned violent. But Heathers Sister jen And her cousin pat Thought Oconnell was way off base. Was heather involved in drugs . No. She smoked pot but she never did any kind of other drugs. Less than a spoonful. [laughs] it was to help her anxiety. Your family And the Sheriffs Department were very much not on the same page. That came pretty quickly. Very quickly. Id say about a month into it. Jen And pat Thought Oconnell should be looking closer to home a lot closer. And at someone with whom heather had a volatile relationship. That person was heathers brother josh feasel. They were fighting a lot. Oh, yeah. According to jen, josh sent heather an ugly Text Message just hours before heather went missing, berating her for failing a nursing exam. Too stupid to pass the lpn battery exam. Low expectations of yourself. Typical trash like your mom And dad. He knew what to say that would get under her skin. It was fair to assume that heather And didnt always see Eye To eye. Oconnell said josh was less than cooperative when approached by investigators. Josh would have his good days on wanting to talk to us, And would have his bad days of not wanting to talk to us. At one Point Oconnell said he asked for Joshs Dnajust to rule him out. He wouldnt give it to us initially. Thats got to make you sit up a little straighter. It did. I sat down with josh. What was it like being accused of having played a part in killing your sister . I felt like, you guys you guys are crazy to think i would do that. You loved your sister . Definitely. The only person in my family who i felt like wanted me to succeed was my sister, heather. Josh agreed his angry Text Message was hurtful. He explained it by saying it was simply a misguided attempt at tough love. I felt in my mind if i shame heather, ill shame her into doing the right things. But it was the wrong approach, clearly. And it was abusive. Do you regret sending heather that text . Yeah, definitely. As for why josh refused to give up his dna . According to police, when they went to you And asked for your dna, you said, no. They never went to me. Said oconnell never asked him for it. They never even tried to get my dna. At the end of the day, i know im innocent. And their opinion doesnt matter. Facts are facts And opinions are opinions. Jen And pat thought there was Someone Else who should be looked at with suspicion. Someone much closer to heather. Her exgirlfriend carmella. You guys go back And forth between And-josh'>Carmella And Josh being involved . I did. They were the only two that made sense in my mind. Jen said it was common knowledge that And-heather'>Carmella And Heather fought. And theyd fight about what usually . It was mostly jealousy stuff. Something else that implicated carmella, said jen, was the way Heathers Killer cut her hair. Heather dyed her hair a lot And it was kind of fried, And she didnt think carmella liked her hair. I just instantly was like, her hairs cut off. What do you mean . Who would who would touch her hair . You know, nobody made sense except for carmella. Jen And pat shared their feelings with Detective Oconnell. To an investigator, when you have somebodys hair cut, theyre doing it as a means of getting even or doing it as a means of anger, frustration. Add to that the note from carmella found in Heathers Car. I remember telling her, youre Dead To Me, in the note. Youre Dead To Me. Hard words that carried weight like knives. And i didnt know the weight of them. I took her for granted. You regret writing that . Oh, yeah. In more ways than one. Carmella says there was never a serious argument about heathers hair. I would have never said anything to make her feel bad or think that her Hair Wasnt looking good. It was just a color preference. I said i liked it better blonde. But it still looks nice. Thats literally all that was said. So thats not a fight about her hair . No, there was never a fight about her hair. The main thing with her, if you felt that something was off, you could communicate about it. And i cant tell you how many times we agreed to just disagree. Carmella said the investigation ultimately built a wall between her AndHeathers Family. Of course im hurt, And im like, why would they even suspect me . Well, heres why. It was never a question if carmella loved my sister. It was just, did she love her this much that she went crazy And killed her because she couldnt have her . Heathers family was convinced that carmella was a very strong suspect. They were very well convinced of that. You were not as convinced. I was not as convinced. Oconnell said he didnt think had anything to do with it either. And oconnell said his Drug Theory was still the best theory. By now pat And jen had become so frustrated with oconnell, they actually called his bosses to complain. We were begging them, take him off the case. Hes not doing anything. Hes not doing his job. Hes not looking into leads. Hes not talking to us. They kind of sugarcoated it. It was like, hes the best detective we have And we trust hes doing his job. We cant tell you everything. Well have him update you once a week, is that fair . We just wanted to know whats going on. Did that happen . No, it didnt. All he needed, he said, was a little more time. Instead, all the clocks suddenly stopped. The world blows up. The world blows up. Coming up, an arrest, but its not one of the suspects. I was actually dumbfounded. It all made sense of why we werent getting any answers. Then startling news turns the case upside down. Its not the way i wanted to end my Law Enforcement career by any means. Tough. Very tough.

There had to be a point where you thought this was never gonna be solved. There was lots of points where we thought this was never gonna be solved. By now pat And jen had lost all faith in the Sheriffs InvestigationAnd in sheriffs Detective Sean Oconnell. I knew he was off Track Right from the beginning. Yes. I even called him incompetent a couple different times because i was very frustrated. So frustrated that jen And pat finally decided to take matters into their own hAnds, appealing directly to the community for help. We made pretty much electionstyle signs that said, justice for heather, And we sold them. We just wanted to keep the word going. It was like, if theyre not gonna do it, were gonna do it. Then something happened that No One expected. There had been an arrest. Only it wasnt of Heathers Killer. It was of the sheriff himself. I was actually dumbfounded at first. Sheriff Kyle Overmyer was caught stealing Prescription Pain pills held in county custody. Your sheriff had a drug problem. He did. And he was supporting his habit by pilfering money from a county fund. Sheriff overmyer eventually pleaded guilty And was sentenced to four years in prison. To jen, it was yet another indication of a Sheriffs Office in disarray. It all made sense of why we werent getting any answers. That turned out to be just the beginning. Soon, Detective Sean Oconnell was under investigation for how he was hAndling or mishAndling the Heather Bogle murder case. The State AttorneyGenerals Office began looking into allegations that oconnell was tampering with evidence And coercing witnesses. Youre sort of accused here of misleading, concealing, slanting, all to sort of fit your theory, that you had blinders on. Yes. Did you . Absolutely not, no. What i was doing, was following the leads on where they were taking me. To Heathers Family, the announcement that Detective Oconnell was under investigation came as welcome news. Anything that didnt fit into what he thought was going on, he just kinda dismissed And didnt even look back at. He just wanted to be able to pin it on And-somebody'>Somebody And Somebody go to jail for it. Facing possible criminal charges, oconnell resigned from the Sheriffs OfficeAnd began managing a mcdonalds. Its not the way i wanted to end my Law Enforcement career by any means. Tough. Very tough. You guys saw a side of the Sheriffs Department that most people dont ever see. Yeah. We just never thought wed be part of that. You trust the law. The monumental job of restoring the Countys Faith in its Sheriffs Office, as well as jumpstarting the Heather Bogle murder investigation, now fell to the newly elected sheriff chris hilton, And his newly appointed Lead Detective, major Nick Kotsopoulos. What condition was the case in . In trouble. It was a mess. Was Detective Oconnell just over his head or just wrong or deliberately trying to focus the investigation on people who didnt have anything to do with it . In my opinion, it started off with probably going down the wrong path. I think where it ended up for him was sticking to that path so that he wouldnt be wrong. Kotsopoulos began by looking at oconnells three named suspects, Omar Satchel, Keyona BorAnd kayree jeffrey, And he found exactly nothing connecting any of them to the murder of Heather Bogle. We stopped looking at them at that point. We followed the evidence, And itook us a different way. So that investigation that not only focused on them but named them publicly, nothing pointing to them . No. Next, kotsopoulos focused on And his fractious relationship with his sister. Investigators obtained Joshs DnaAnd compared it to the Mystery Dna under heathers nails. And hes negative. Hes not the guy. It is not his dna. Thats correct. So then, what about Carmella Badillo . You looked pretty hard at carmella, didnt you . Very hard. He considered whether carmella could have been responsible for heathers jagged haircut. It certainly piqued my interest. But kotsopoulos soon found carmella to be both cooperative And credible. Carmella was extremely heartbroken. And anything that she could do to try to bring whoever did this to Heather Bogle to justice, she was gonna do. Carmellas dna didnt match either. And when detectives asked carmella to take a polygraph, carmella agreed And passed. And so she too was cleared. And then as soon as i passed the polygraph, first thing i said now will you do your job . For those whod been publicly named by oconnell as heathers suspected murderers, word that they were no longer suspects was little reason to celebrate. Whats this all done to you . This has destroyed my life. Its hard for me to get employment. Anybody ever apologize for sort of making you famous in a way you never wanted to be . No, they pretty much just, its over with. Move on with your life. My face was put in the paper, Murder Suspect, Murder Suspect, Murder Suspect three to five times a week. It still bothers me. You go certain places, people look at you, And then, you know, they recognize your name or they recognize your face, And they give you those looks. And so, major kotsopoulos wiped the slate clean. It was a startover case. I needed to go back to the beginning. And to heathers last known whereabouts, 6 17 a. M. Leaving the whirlpool parking lot. He then examined those Phone Records indicating her phone last pinged a Cell Tower at 9 20 a. M. In an area not far from the plant. We had a radius at that time. Of how big an area . 5. 79 miles. Thats a pretty big area. If only there were a way to narrow it down. And then investigators found one. And it turned out the Prime Suspect had been right under their noses the whole time. Coming up that came up up in the investigation before . Not to our knowledge. A new name surfaces along with an eyepopping detail. Where does he work . Whirlpool. Same as Heather Bogle. Correct. A case about to explode. We about fainted. I got weak in the knees. When dateline continues. Shingles doesnt care. I keep my social distance. Shingles doesnt care. I stay within my family bubble.

A newly detective was tracing Heather Boggle sets from the day she vanished. Cell Phone Records tied her last known whereabouts to a six mile radius. Now investigators were about to lose use a powerful tools to narrow those miles down to feet, in a case complicated by scAndal And alleged misconduct. The biggest twist were still ahead. Heres Josh Mankiewicz with the conclusion of jagged. Major Nick KotsopoulosAnd his team worked overtime trying to answer a Bankers Box full of questions. Starting with what happened to heather immediately after she left whirlpool . Information from Cell Towers in And around Andusky-county'>SAndusky County provided little help, but what about Satellite Information . If your cellular device is communicating with the gps satellite, it will continue to do that once in awhile. In this particular case, Heather Bogles phone did communicate with a satellite. It was one of the many avenues Sean Oconnell had not pursued previously. And we were able to retrieve that data through a Search Warrant that we served on google. That data was manna from heaven. It pinpointed the location of Heathers Phone with far greater precision than a Cell Tower ever could. It puts her phone very close to a trailer in Emerald Estate Trailer park. To within just a few feet of the trailers front door, And who lives there . Daniel myers. That name come up in the investigation before . Not to our knowledge at that point. Suddenly, kotsopoulos had a fresh lead. He began to dig. Daniel myers, age . Late 40s. Married or single . Single. And where does he work . Whirlpool. Whirlpool . Same as Heather Bogle . Correct. It later emerged that Detective Oconnell had assumed other detectives would hAndle what turned out to be critical interviews with whirlpool employees. And so, he never picked Up Myers trail. He also missed or failed to follow up on an email sent by a Tipster Pointing him in the direction of Daniel Myers. Any indication that the investigator did speak with that person . No. Because if they had, they would have heard the name Daniel Myers. Correct. Now kotsiopoulos And his partner were paying myers a visit, which the major recorded. [knocking] how ya doing, dan . He could have told us anything. Were friends. She stopped by to have a cup of coffee. And then she left, And i never saw her again. Yes. Except Daniel Myers didnt say that. Did you know her at all . Very little, very little. He was completely trying to distance himself from her. You dont yet say, we know that she And her phone were at your address no. The day she vanished. No. No, not yet. Did you ever know her to have friends in this Trailer Park . No, like i said, i didnt really know her very well. Okay. Did you ever see her back here . No. It certainly made him look more suspicious than initially. That led us into Search Warrants. Including one to search myers trailer. The investigators found that several parts of that Trailer Subflooring had been replaced. Almost as if he were trying to fix some damage that hed done to his trailer by firing some bullets into it . Correct. Kotsopoulos also secured a warrant for myers dna. And suddenly that Mystery Dnaunder heathers nails had a name. We about fainted. It was, in fact, Daniel Myers. Ill tell you, i got a little weak in the knees. Two years after Heathers Body was found, Daniel Myers was arrested And charged with her murder. Kotsopoulos thought myers might have Lured Heather to his trailer hoping to have sex with her, And attacked her when she refused. You ever hear the Name Danny myers before . Nope. Never. She never talked about him . Never. Myers sat in jail for a year And a half. And then came word of a deal. In exchange for no death penalty, myers, agreed to plead guilty to Heathers MurderAnd receive life without parole. He is appealing. At sentencing, d. A. Tim braun gave the Bogle Family a glimpse into heathers last moments. This was her body as it was discovered. As for heathers cut hair . Braun said that was not just the final insult in a crime of passion. It was, he said, myers deliberate And futile attempt to remove all traces of his dna from Heathers Body. Heather bogle was the real hero in this case because she fought back, And that evidence was in her fingernails. So, she helped solve she really own murder. Helped solve her own murder, yes. Mr. Myers, did you wish to make a statement . I have nothing to say. Heathers Loved Ones did. Carmella badillo was allowed to speak to Daniel Myers just before he was led away to begin serving his life sentence. I want you to know, Daniel Myers, i do not forgive you. No one in this room can say that they forgive the devil. Im excited for your future. I know its going to be a short one. I hope you rot in hell, you piece of [ bleep ]. When you think about her, what do you think about . I just think of the memories that i had with her, And its like i can close my eyes And i know shes not there, but i can still see her. You gonna be okay . I think at this point were all, you know, repairing the damage that has been done. Not the least of which was the damage done to carmellas relationship with Heathers Family. At some point you realized youd been wrong about carmella. Whew, man. Part of me really didnt wanna believe the whole time. Feel bad . Yeah. Horrible. Me too. Whatd you say to her . We hugged. We had cried together. She tried to apologize. And i stopped her And i said, no, dont because thats what you felt, And that was your sister, And it was justified. Bottom line, we were fighting against each other for loving the same person. Daniel myers would not be the only person sent to prison as a result of the Heather Bogle murder case. This july 2018, former Detective Sean Oconnell accepted a Plea Deal of his own, admitting to evidence tampering. Other charges including Witness CoercionAndDereliction Of Duty were dropped. His punishment, two years in prison. I can assure you that at his sentencing, oconnell spoke directly to Heathers Family. Again, i apologize to the Bogle Family. I truly do. I can assure you that i was just doing everything in my power as a Police Officer to find those persons responsible for heathers death. For all those swept up in this investigation, this was a long journey to justice involving not just a search for Heathers Killer, but a battle with a Sheriffs Office run amok, a battle Jen Bogle was determined to win. This girl was tough. Investigating, up all night, working, taking care of kids. Her number one priority was still heather. We need to find out who did this. I would think your sister would be proud of you. Thank you. You feel any better . I feel relieved. We finally know what happened. Yeah. You know who. Yeah. And you know who it wasnt. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Thats all for this edition of dateline. Im natalie morales. Thank you for watching. U for watching im craig melvin. Im natalie morales. And this is dateline.
