i think it s hard not to love tammy. they were very happy. very happy. it seemed to be a simple case of a robbery gone horribly wrong. we realize that he was dead or dying. but nothing about this case with simple. not the marriage and not the murders. it just kept getting more red flags coming up. the surprises just kept on coming. he said, can i talk to in private? what dork force claimed two lives? i feel like she still. i feel her with me. hello. hello. and welcome to dateline. it was a quiet afternoon at the park are housed. tammy and her husband brett were both at homes when suddenly gunfire erupted, leaving two people dead and police racing to the scene. the sole survivor would share a tale describing an unlikely intruder and a desperate fight to survive. but what story would the evidence tell? here is andrea canning with mystery at ascot estates. life seems to move just a little slower in south carolina. afternoons in columbia can be
red flags coming up. the surprises just kept on coming. he said, can i talk to in private? what dork force claimed two lives? i feel like she still. i feel her with me. hello. hello. and welcome to dateline. it was a quiet afternoon at the park are housed. tammy and her husband brett were both at homes when suddenly gunfire erupted, leaving two people dead and police racing to the scene. the sole survivor would share a tale describing an unlikely intruder and a desperate fight to survive. but what story would the evidence tell? here is andrea canning with mystery at ascot estates. life seems to move just a little slower in south carolina. afternoons in columbia can be spent on the meandering saluda river or nearby lake murray. and tucked away inside this capital city is ascot estates. we re old southern charm mingles with new money. not much in the way of drama here. until april, 2012. friday the 13th. when something sinister happened. i turned on
just kept getting more red red flags coming up. tammy s best friend angela leon didn t know anything about the investigation. but she had a gut feeling something wasn t right. she called up the sheriff s department to say she thought brett was lying. i reached out to them and wanted to make sure they knew that there were people that had a different side of the story. brett continued to insist it was self-defense. but within a week of the shooting, he had gotten a lawyer, david fedor. the sheriff had told us he thought it was a little odd that brett retained a defense attorney so quickly when he was claiming he was a victim. anybody that is in a situation like that that doesn t retain an attorney immediately needs psychiatric help. his attorney said brett was no killer. he was just defending himself after bryan showed up to steal his money. capnerhurst went over there specifically to rob the people. tammy was there. he shot her first and we assumed he was going to shoot bret
confrontation should have only taken a couple of minutes. so why, they wondered, had brett taken nine more minutes to call 9-1-1? police were also curious why with his wife shot inside, brett had come outside to make that call. if it were me, i would ve been inside with my wife. trying to administer cpr, first aid to my wife. and he didn t appear to have any blood on him at all. was that strange that he didn t have blood on him? it was. investigators picked through every detail in brett s account and found that while he had been upfront about his illegal bookie business, he wasn t upfront about everything. we recovered certain things from brett. like when we asked if he was involved in adulturous affairs he told us. no within 24 hours, he told us we found out that wasn t true. there was a series of text messages of a sexual nature, indicative of an affair. they started looking looking at the evidence versus what he said. and over a period of time, it just kept getting more
