I knew something was not right. He just began sobbing and saying no. It was just before midnight when the shooting started. He had been shot multiple times. He was on the ground face down. A man was dead but not just any man. How do you kill superman . He was a olympian and a father killed by a intruder in his own backyard according to his wife. His wife. And what other secrets were hidden away . If her husband was dead ike, outside, why was the gun found hidden inside and what other secrets were hidden away . Sometimes she would say things like i would be better off if he was not around. Was the husband defending the family war was she . The mystery may not be who did it but why. The truth will come out and justice will be served. I have to believe that. Eve tha county, california, welcome to dateline. E he the elite athlete dave took him a bronze medal from the olympic games, home was Ventura County, california where he grew up, where he met his wife and where he lost his life. Jean said there was a prowler and then gunfire, police found dave dead and troubling holes in janes story. What happened that night . Here is Keith Morrison with the Hometown Hero and the Homecoming Queen. It was late when it happened. Very late. The sky had already fallen. Nobody saw it coming. Nobody heard the warning but now in the night, it was done. They work hard here in their homemade garage jim because in part it is not just a gym, it is a kind of shrine. I look at the wall in there is a bunch of photos. That is what makes it special i think. These were the moments before they were born, when a shot putter named dave became his familys superman and his Little Brother watched him get a bronze medal at the 84 olympics. After i just cried. How do you not . When you see your brother up there getting a metal. He was like my superman. Don is daves younger brother by 9 1 2 years. Dave and don inherited a passion of athletics and olympics from their brother. This is built into your dna almost. It really is. Here is where the dna was planted, oxnard, california. A farm town on the beach. They grow mostly strawberries now, lima beans back then. They were different those days. When we grew up you could ride your bike anywhere. She knew them growing up. That big farming family of her childhood best friend, jane. Our dads were both farmers. Old farming families. They were big here in oxnard. There was a lot of them around. They multiplied. Helens Friend Jane Grew up to be especially beautiful. Featured as Homecoming Queen. She was never concerned with that. She is also very shy. How are you Homecoming Queen if you are shy . She is also a kind and gentle person. As the yearbook shows, a Star Volleyball Player as well. She could spike. Jane soon met the other gifted athlete, dave, already on his way to becoming one of the best shot putters in california. They began dating after high school and sometimes let don tagalong. She was wonderful, she was fun. They got along so well. When they got married in 1980, janes friend helen was a bridesmaid. Going that morning to the wedding them into chains parents house and all of the girls getting dressed up, that was really fun. It was sweet and jane was excited. She looked gorgeous. He had her on a pedestal. This is dons wife, rebecca. We would talk once or twice a week on the phone. Probably four hours. We hit it off. Jane was there by daves side as he became a national and then world competitor. Dave took the bronze medal of the 84 games but after, his career faded quickly. He kept trying but knee injuries. He did not make the team in 88. He was disappointed but he knew. It is a point of your career when you know something is done. It is okay. You know you have gone as far as you can and that door closes. Another door opened. Dave became a High School Biology teacher, coach and athletic director. He was better as a teacher and coach. If dave missed his former glory he never showed it and of course remained a legend to his niece and nephews. One phrase that could describe him is a gentle giant. He had so much patience, so much kindness. At home dave and jane struggled to have children. She wanted a family. I felt bad when i got pregnant. And 99 they adopted a baby boy from south korea and named him michael. We were happy. I have tons of photos of them together. Moments of time, inspiration on the garage wall which these days is about all that is left. This does not make sense. It is not right. Ever since that august night in 2009. There are shots being fired . When a superman fell to earth. Coming up. Did a run in with a prowler turn deadly . Describe how fast they were. When dateline continues. Lin infused with vitamin b3 and hyaluronic acid, look at all those snacks, you must be a king i did just pay 60 less for my ticket with the gametime app. its the best place to get lastminute deals on tickets. i guess im just a better fan than you.

Keith Morrison midnight august 28, 2009, oxnard, california. download the gametime app to get great deals midnight, august 28, 2009. Oxnard, california. The woman in full panic. There are shots being fired . The woman on the phone was jane. The wife of the Hometown Hero. Dave was still outside she said where she heard shots fired. Where did you last see your husband . He told me to get back in and then i heard the shots. Stay with me, i have two officers there. The officers had to lockdown and call in a Homicide Team to investigate further. The Ventura County das investigator, by the time First Responders arrived, there was no sign of a prowler but they did find dave. He was shot multiple times, he was on the ground face down with obvious Gunshot Wounds to his back in the back of his head. Jane was a mess, she told investigators she had no idea who would do this. Michael, 10 years old at the time, slept through it and janes brother took charge of him while jane went to the Police Station to offer a more complete statement. It was a normal evening she said, in bed by 10, dave in the Master Bedroom and she and michaels room where she often slept because dave had a bad back. Then it was a hour later she said, around 11 00. Dave came down the hall she said, worried about the dog. He said what is wrong with her i said i do not know. So 11 15 pm, she and dave crept over to a sliding glass door to the yard. So youre walking toward the sliding glass door with a flashlight in your hand right . What happens . I heard Something Like did you see Somebody Else . Do you think you did . Was it in front of or behind . How far behind him are you . You see shadows by the trashcan . Then what happened . The gunshots what did they sound like . Like a pop. How many pops did you hear . Three. Described to me how fast they were. Pop pop pop. No hesitations . As jane talked to investigators into the Early Morning hours. The awful news was getting around. We get a call at 5 00 in the morning. What happens to a person when you go to bed and everything is fine and then your phone rings at 5 00 in the morning and your life is a different thing. It is like a earthquake. It shakes your whole foundation and being and things are never the same after. He fell to his knees. He was on the phone and he began sobbing and saying no. It was horrible. You do not believe it but how do you kill superman . How is superman dead . A few days later, daves friends and family held a candlelight vigil. He was so loved. Every step we take is because people like you reach out to us and support me my husband and family and we appreciate that. They did not know then, what the police had discovered. A key piece of evidence, almost overlooked at first. To make the lead investigator of the case walks in and is looking around and you have a dining room table, a hutch, a Grandfather Clock. He opened the clock and it was a wow moment. Why would a Prowler Leave something so important in there . If the intruder was outside, how did a piece of evidence get inside . Something else seemed odd, janes behavior. Coming up. She tried to keep one of the officers out of the laundry room. When dateline continues.

Keith morrison jane laut told the police for free help, a harrowing story of a Backyard Prowler and gunshots right outside her door. On jane told police a harrowing story of a Backyard Prowler and gunshots outside of her door and now her husband dave was dead. Some things seemed a little off, for example, when police were still questioning jean at the house, she stepped into the laundry room. She tried to keep one of the officers out of the laundry room. She tried to close the door with him in and him out. Why . Jane was wearing pajamas when Police Arrived but in the laundry room they found her jeans rolled up in a towel tucked between the washer and dryer, her top was removed as well, inside out. They were stashed away. When the officer tried to administer a Gunshot Residue Kit to janes hands when the officer began getting the test ready she did go into the bathroom and either washed her hands or wiped her hands on a towel before coming back to the table before the test was done. Odd things. Anyway police scoured the place and did not see a Murder Weapon lying around. They were ready to take daves body to the morgue when some instinct told the Lead Detective to look here. He cracked open the doors of the Grandfather Clock in the dining room and looked down the side and there it was. This is more than likely the Murder Weapon. A ruger six shot revolver, surely no prowler would have dropped a weapon right here in the dining room clock. The Prowler Theory did not make sense whatsoever with a hidden gun in the house. It was not long before investigators shifted the focus from unknown prowler to the woman who reported one. Jane. Remember the clothes they found . When they tested them they found Gunshot Residue so did jane shoot dave and then change in her pajamas before calling 911 . Remember jane mentioned a red flashlight so police bagged it, tested it and found Gunshot Residue as if she was holding the flashlight while shooting her husband. Investigators said dave had been shot six times. We came up with a logical explanation of how it was done. Shot one grazed his head from several feet, deposited pieces of scalp on a garbage can. That shot brought him to his knees where the killer fired shots two and three to his face at close range. One goes through the cheekbone, bounces off of the concrete. It knicks the fence and that bullet we matched on the sidewalk. Shots four through six hit the upper arm, the back and the back of daves head. We believe the final shot was the shot to the back of the head. From the beginning jane denied she had anything to do with it. They did not believe her. Especially when they found out the bullets that killed dave matched the gun in the Grandfather Clock. Now don and rebecca began to look at a lot of things differently. Things jane told them through the years which may be did not add up. I felt like she was family so i am going to dismiss the strange feeling i get sometimes. Like the time jane told her two men put a knife to her throat and demanded money. I said did you call police or yellow . She said no, i just came home. I just wanted to get home. I said this is the middle of the day . Then there was a claim the summit he was leaving threatening notes on the car. You would ask her what kind of notes and she would not tell you. Now when they look back at the things they noticed over the years, it was like something fell into place for them. There was a separation, it was like jane was the parent and michael was the child and dave was in the way. I think that was a stress on the marriage. The stress was clear said rebecca. For a while every time she called me it seemed like it was to vent about something she did not like about what dave was doing. So evidence was sifted through four months. In February Of 2010 jane was arrested and charged with murder. The story said investigators, was clear. This was a execution. She lowered him out, shot him from behind, then shot him a second and third time close, stepped back shot him a few times and then came up close and shot him one more time. There was plenty of evidence, janes odd behavior, her lie about a prowler and on top of it all, the gun in the Grandfather Clock. So jane hired a lawyer and pled not guilty. The story that came out then turned the case on its head. He was a monster. Coming up, what had been happening Behind Closed Doors . She decided to fight. When dateline continues.

All eyes on Caitlin Clark and the championship game. They could not best the undefeated South Carolina team. 8775 is the final. Now back to dateline. Gun that killed him inside, tiwelcome back, dave was murdered outside of his home and then police found the gun that killed him inside calling the story his wife told detectives into question, but what she told them next would send the Investigation Hurtling in a new direction, a stunning Allegation Points to another explanation for daves debt. Again, here is Keith Morrison with the Hometown Hero and the Homecoming Queen. Suite jane, now accused murderer and now that dave was dead, stories emerged. It seemed like she was controlled in my opinion. A neighbor. He is standing there while she is pulling weeds, Cleaning Gutters and washing his truck and he is not helping her. Jane seemed nervous. Like a scared rabbit. I was leery about what was going on in the home. This friend said janes fear reminded her of another vulnerable creature. Jane looked like a scared cat. Constantly looking over her shoulder. This from janes former coworker. He was very aggressive. He was very demanding and when he said jump she would say how high. How strange it was she thought that jane always wore long sleeves even when it was hot outside but more disturbing there were times she would come in and i would notice her face looked swollen. She would never comment how it happened. There was several times i saw bruising on her. One time on her face. Her arms, her legs. He is just a monster. Ron, janes Defense Attorney and according to him, dave is far from the Hometown Hero so many believed him to be. The real truth about dave, for nearly three decades, he subjected his wife to horrific abuse. Like all abuse i
