and i left again about 4:00 and just went and, and got a doughnut and a coke. like i said, i get up pretty early. reporter: and what about weapons. did keith own a gun? i have a .45 acp in my work truck that i just got, and it s never had any, i mean it s never been loaded. reporter: as part of standard protocol, the detective asked for keith s clothes. they would be tested for gun shot residue. what you re wearing now, is that, was that fresh clothes from this morning whenever you? this is what i wore yesterday. reporter: before wrapping up the interview, the detective took a look at keith s cell phone. while i m reviewing this phone, i see that he obtains a text message, an incoming text message from a lady by the name of deanna jaynes. reporter: ping, up comes a text message? that s correct. reporter: the message read: did you make it home okay? keith was quick to point out, his relationship with deanna was completely platonic. she s more like a guy friend.
did he look okay? he looked fine. i mean, he felt i think he was more confident, as well. deanna says keith now began aggressively courting her, showering her with gifts, flowers, notes of affection. it was all, she said, a bit much. he kept pushing for more. and i kept telling him, you need to back off, you need to slow down because i m just not there. deanna said she couldn t put her finger on it, but there was something about keith that was holding her back. maybe it was the fact that he still seemed unusually bound to a woman he called his ex-wife. from the very beginning, deanna says, keith told her that he was divorced. very first conversation. i m a divorced guy. right. by the time she was sitting across from detective carter in that interview room, deanna says she and keith had never been intimate, but they were dating. and keith was talking long-term. house-hunting for them. he said, i don t want to scare you, but i want you to
their own door watched over by their beloved great dane cleo. aaron s wife ali. i would leave and go to dinner, the door was unlocked because cleo was the guard dog. keith and jewelry were transformed when aaron and ali brought into the world their first daughter ariya. when i had that child, it was the greatest day of her life. she wanted to be a part of everything she did. and julie was there for ali when she went into labor with her second daughter elise. the white knuckle dash to the hospital gave her the name nascar nana. she says, don t have a baby if my car. keep your legs crossed, don t have a baby in my car. everything seemed to be going great in 2015, keith had weight loss surgery and dropped more than 100 pounds.
regretting what i d done. i probably drove 100 miles an hour all the way back, hoping to get caught. as for the future, keith says he is prepared to die in prison. i don t have anything to live for. except maybe forgiveness. from who? from my boys. that s why you re talking to me today? exactly. yes. well, it s between you and them. i ll tell you, my take on it is you ve got some distance to make up. i know i do. i ve got a lot to make up. of the countless things keith stole from his family, resilience was not among them. aaron and zach are closer than they ve been in years. and now that they know what happened to their mother, they say they can finally mourn her passing. and focus on keeping her spirit alive for those two little granddaughters who were the center of her universe. my oldest daughter will remember. like i said, she talks about her
i knew he didn t do it. there wasn t any way that keith was involved in this. i remember sitting there, and looking over at keith, just watching him for a while. and finally i just said, you can t even grieve, can you? and he said, no, they ve taken it all away. the friends working theory was a botched break-in. they had heard about the neighborhood s recent rash of burglaries. maybe that s what happened to julie. they come in, and they startled cleo. the dog started to bark. go for them? caused julie to wake up and got scared and shot her. it made perfect sense. but for 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 safes, a cache of guns and julie s purse sitting in plain sight. you would think an intruder would have grabbed it. you would think so. so carter set out to follow
