Tara s family could not shake the feeling that levi s fellow officers might be helping out their friend. and that the local investigators in charge, should ve stopped them. i was extremely angry with the albuquerque police department sheriff s department. i was beside myself with them. how could you allow another agency to come into your jurisdiction and enter that house? the jurisdiction of the man who found the body? yes. detective jones says there is no evidence of a conspiracy or cover-up. and he blames himself for not immediately treating the house as a crime scene. because of that, he was forced to work backwards to find both evidence and a possible motive. and soon, he found something interesting. a life insurance policy that covered tara. how much money would leave i get in the death of his wife? $100,000. what about suicide? $100,000.
Levi but does not mention the kids. can you conceive of her not mentioning her children? no. she would never have left her kids. she would not have left her kids. detective jones had come to agree. but one sentence did not believe like a suicides note, at least not one she would write. she was a very expressive person. you would expect a more detailed and expressive? note absolutely. tara s best friend also told the detective that the behavior of the levi, she knew was much worse than the philandering he admitted to. he would break or so down verbally. he would tell her all the time that she was worthless. that she was nothing without him.
all right. the detective believed tara had been killed, sometime on saturday night. levi story was that he d been on duty until midnight and then went to deborah s house. jones went to talk to her. what is the first, first recollection that you have of seeing him, physically, at your house? when i woke up. he came into the bedroom. he was in his uniform. debra confirmed that she was with levi from the time he got off work that night, until the following evening. so, mistress as alibi, maybe not a squeaky clean defensible, for now, at least, their stories were in sync. jones still had questions for levi. the next time levi came to his office, john set up a camera to record their conversation, without levi knowing. he wanted to see how levi would react to the suggestion that tehran had not killed herself.
There s others. i think a couple others lived around. what did you guys the running trails, the kids, school my school, the deposit between our houses. so there was meeting up outdoors? yeah. even if i went to his house, the kids were there, he would just pop in a movie and have the kids watch a movie and we would take off and do adult things. rose says, those adult things didn t have anything to do with love. i don t love him. this was just facts? just. sex. listen to this, one time when rosen levi were together at his house, she noticed a photo near the bed. i put two and two together and asked him, he said, yeah, we re married. rose recognized the woman in the photograph because she knew tara, and had just figured out she was sleeping with her hair husband. and you say, great, honey, lie down. not, i gotta get out of here, this is weird. it was a little weird, i m not going to lie. but, there seem to be no love
In fact, the woman s contact number was for the salon where tara chavez worked. what did you learn from the people who work at the salon? about three days prior to her death, she told her boss that she had done something bad and if she ended up dead, levi killed. i feel a sense of responsibility. for tara s death. i never said anything about the truck to leave i then what maybe she will be alive. maybe if i just kept my mouth closed, it would ve been okay. she still be here. but that s my cross to bear and i over family a great apology and i have apologized to them, and i hugged them. that s something i have to live with. as the civil lawsuit wound its way through court, detective jones retired from law enforcement. the revelations that came from the suit jump-started the
