forget. and i said, i know. and so we had to go through the driver s side cause the passenger side door was broke. couldn t open it. you could. oh, yeah. you could? you could. but to make it close correctly, you had to kinda lift it up and close it. was it common knowledge, roxy, that he had a car with a bum door? yep. reporter: and what roxy says happened next could be the key to the mystery. according to roxy, the bouncer stopped at her house first and dana got out to use the bathroom. then she helped dana get back into adkins car, through what she remembers as a faulty passenger door. i walked her out there and put her in the car and i closed the door and i said, i ll talk to you later. but you weren t gonna. and off they went. that is the goodbye. last time i d seen her alive. do you beat yourself up, roxy, about that door and whether you closed i beat myself up it correctly? a lot. or? you know? uh-huh. i i thought about that fo
and maybe he did, roxy thinks. she says the bouncer told her he saw a motorcycle near the scene that night. could it have been toby following them? roxy wonders whether toby pounced on dana after she fell from the bouncer s car and lay stunned and helpless on the road. remember adkins had gone looking for help. he had enough time to slam her head in that side of that road and then be gone cause his alibi is four trailers away from her body. that s his alibi. reporter: toby adamantly denies having anything to do with dana s death. he also denies he raped dana that afternoon or showed up at the club. when you hear the stories that you were there that night, you re sayin that s baloney? that s that s total crock. she s got another part of the story. not only does she say you were there that night but she says that you violently assaulted dana. yeah. she, you know virt virtually raped her. did that happen? no, not at anything approximating that? all. no,
she come home and told me that she thought somethin was gonna physically happen to her. reporter: but was toby s theory something else? maybe an attempt to throw the cops off his trail? remember toby said he d been asleep at dana s apartment, near the scene that night and he was known to have had a turbulent relationship with her. there were a lot of people pointing fingers at toby over the years. if you went down to the diner and asked, what happened to dana, a lotta people woulda told ya, toby killed her. that is correct. reporter: but dana s best friend, roxy, who d been partying with her at the nightclub had another lead for investigators another name. so, what is roxy s story? it s been a festive night, a lotta drink. are either one of them wobbly? i mean, can they handle themselves leaving the club? according to what roxy has told us, that dana was pretty intoxicated, that she was not really steady on her feet. reporter: and the friends had no way to get ho
reporter: but there was still no word from the coroner about what, if anything, she had discovered. brittany could only guess. an agonizing wait began. brittany imagined that night over and over in her head. accident. murder. the bouncer. her dad. toby was still a suspect in some people s eyes. and that s who dana s best friend roxy blamed all these years later when brittany gave her a call. i said, what happened to my mom? and she instantly threw out my dad s name. and i said, why would you say that? just because. i said, well, was my dad there with you guys that night? no. well, then why would you say? because i it i just know. reporter: like some people in dana s family, roxy just couldn t shake the idea that toby might have been behind dana s death. and he certainly had an ugly record. he d even served time for assaulting. brittany. they arrested me for domestic
roxy is sure she knows who did it. and it wasn t the bouncer. roxy says dana had confided in her, that her relationship with toby was broken. and one chilling statement she made stood out to the best friend. anything that happens to me, it s toby. wow? yep. she said that? yep. was it hands-on? was it mental games? or or was it mental. physical. yup. reporter: something she saw with her own eyes, roxy says, when she went to meet dana before they went dancing that night. he was in the bedroom with her and there was commotion goin on inside the bedroom. and the bedroom door opened. he came out and he turned around. he goes, there, bitch, now go out. and she walked out and she had marks on her and stuff. reporter: roxy says dana told her something horrific that toby had not only beaten her that evening. he d raped her too. this was the bombshell testimony roxy gave on the witness stand. something the prosecution team hadn t heard before. how much damage is sh
