WEBVTT - Death & Deceit in Alliance | 13. The Circling

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Previously on Death and Deceit in Alliance.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 2>And part of me feels like he would have been

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>screaming this from the rooftops for a long time if

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>that was really the case.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>What are the chances this kind man snaps because Yvonne

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't want to have sex with him.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if I'm sitting here right now, I think

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 3>that Joe had Yeah.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I think it's tough just to get the words out

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 2>of it.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know what to do.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do.

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I got like up, I feel like

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 5>I got emotional. I don't know, I'd feel really confused.

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>This is emotional word with people's lives.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I really confused. This is death and Deceit and Alliance

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a real time investigation into whether David Thorne killed Yvonne Lane.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm Maggie freeling.

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Can you describe to me on the take here how

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 5>he treated you on so many incidents that happened while

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 5>you were dating.

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 4>You're worrying, very gressive, very do you?

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Since this is David's ex girlfriend Angie talking to the police.

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>She dated David for five years just before David dated

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yvonne Lane, Angie told police about her harrowing relationship with

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>David Thorn.

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 5>One incident will be we got in a big fight

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 5>when you're driving down the road and separate vehicle. He

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 5>got out in his car, pulled a gun on me,

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 5>shout out all four tires in my car, told me

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 5>that I stop the fucking car. He's gonna blow my

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 5>head off. So I did stop the car. The neighbors

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 5>were screaming, frantic, way to call a car because he's

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 5>gonna kill me.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Another incident would be when.

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 5>We got another big fight and he had me down

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 5>on the bed starting morning mechoking me.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 4>I could actually feel myself.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 5>Moving that Petica castle out, so I kicked on that

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 5>away from me and then I left.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.119
<v Speaker 1>At the beginning of this show, I said I had

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>never heard a bad thing about David Thorne, the man

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.399
<v Speaker 1>sentenced to life without parole for the murder of Yvonne.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>The image I'd built up of David in my mind

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>was of a nice, good looking twenty something guy who

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>liked to help people, was always cheerful, always making jokes.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He and others said he got along well with his

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>ex girlfriend, Yvonne, the mother of his son. The custody

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>agent at trials said their shared arrangement was working just

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>fine and he was paying support. But then I came

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>across Angie. I listened to Angie's interview with the police.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It shocked me. She proceeded to tell numerous other stories too,

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>like one about David smashing her face into a steering

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>wheel by her banana clip and an altercation David had

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>with her dad. Angie's interview painted a picture of David

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>that I was unaware of. A hothead, someone who, if

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Angie's accounts are true, could be violent, very violent to women.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 4>When's that you start?

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 5>David?

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 4>January nineteen ninety nine.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Two months before Yvonne was murdered.

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh, and what content did you see him?

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 5>I worked at a host warm and he come into

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 5>my form to get his haircut and love talking to

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 5>me about wanting custody of his form. And then he

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 5>had to prove Yevonne and Wayne as an unfit mother

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 5>so that he could get custody of the phone.

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Another person, along with Sam Peg, Joe Wilke's good friend,

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>who said that David wanted custody of his son. And

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>then we found another person, a friend of David's, who

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>told us he remembered times when David was out of control,

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>particularly road rage incidents. He told us one time a

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>guy got out of his car and started yelling at David.

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>David's friend told us David grabbed the other guy's lip

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>and took off driving. It's unclear if he actually dragged

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the guy down the road. Not that any of this

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>makes him a murderer, but it certainly paints a different

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>picture of David than I had previously imagined. These stories

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>depict David as someone who can be reckless and violent,

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's something we may never have known if we

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't stumble on Antie's files. Sue and David certainly were

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>not forthcoming about any of this. He was the All

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>American choir boy.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 4>Have you heard about our annoyance?

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 4>And what did you think?

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 5>My first reaction is, oh my god, I'm glad it

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 5>willn't me. And he hate definitely capable of it. I've

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 5>seen it.

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure I have him.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Remember, David's credibility is crucial, and so far he hasn't

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>been completely honest. He never told me he had a

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.919
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend right before his girlfriend was murdered, who made serious

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>abuse allegations against him. In fairness, though I didn't ask him,

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and if they're not true, I could see how he

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to bring attention to it. But there were

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>also all the other allegations, So it was time for

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the professionals to finally meet with David. What would you

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>tell John and Danny about his capacity for violence?

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 3>We've already found some things that aren't very flattering about

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 3>David that we that he's never disclosed, and I want

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 3>to give him the opportunity to tell us things that

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.359
<v Speaker 3>we already know, just to see if he's going to

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 3>be remotely forthcoming. You know, I think there's a lot

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 3>of questions that have never been asked of him, So

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>we're going to have to ask him some of those

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 3>those about who he was at the time. I don't

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 3>want him to try to bullshit us.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to know about the real David Good, Bad, Ugly.

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>The guys told him this point blank in one of

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>their previous phone conversations before the visit.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 6>Here's my thoughts. We approached hims like, if we were

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 6>the prosecutors, knowing that this is coming, what would we

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 6>be out doing to attack what investigators John and mag

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 6>and Daney are coming up with?

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Right now, yeah, let's just pretend.

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Basically, they told David that in order to help him,

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>they needed to know everything so that there are no

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>surprises that could hinder his investigation and potential case, for example,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>properly preparing for attacks and character assassinations if he goes

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>back to court. Maybe if I had point blank asked David,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>have you ever been violent with anyone? He would have

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>told me about some of this. So maybe when the

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>guys do ask those questions point blank, he will tell

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>them the truth so we can all move past it

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and to points of actual innocence. But they needed to

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>hear that from David first. They needed him to be honest.

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I do want him to not bullshit us with who

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 3>he was back then. So if he out of the gate,

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, tells us things that he was involved in,

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 3>things that we know about, things that we don't know about,

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 3>then I'll be more apt to listen to him as

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 3>he's telling us things about this case.

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>We arrive at the prison and the guys go in,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>leaving me in the rental car once again. While waiting,

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I take a joy ride. The area around prison is

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>actually quite beautiful, and that's always struck me prisons are

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>usually in rural, tucked away places, intentionally hard to get

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to and hidden from the world. The guy's finally surfaced

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a few hours later and hopped in the car. Danny

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>noticed I drove. I was driving.

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 3>She's like three feet tall, Danny. Of course it's going

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 3>to be different.

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I didn't move the other mirrors. I was really

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to be respectful of Danny's driving.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 4>You're fine, you can get out of Danny Danny table. Okay,

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 4>So what happened?

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Tell me everything. Unlike the visit with Joe, with David,

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the guys were actually able to take notes an official

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>legal visit, meaning note taking was allowed last time. Remember,

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>John and Danny had to relate everything back to me

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>from their memory. So where did he say he was

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the thirty first? When Joe says he was brought to

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>them all by fish, right, that's what he told me,

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>buying fish. Yeah, remember that on the thirty first, the

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>day we believe Yvonne was murdered. According to David's work

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>time card, he got off work at around twelve twenty

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>nine pm, earlier than usual. David's grandfather testified that David

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>got home from work around four PM that day, So

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what was David doing from twelve thirty to four? David

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>said he was buying fish and cleaning big cat cages,

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 1>something that wasn't able to be cooperated and the prosecution

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>said during this time, David was bringing Joe to the

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>mall to get his hotel room, and Joe has said

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that too in certain versions of his events.

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>He acknowledged that he would have left at noon that day,

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>but can't explain anything really again, until.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The guys continued to ask David about the thirty first,

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the night Yvonne was murdered. They wanted David to tell

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>them how he and Joe wound up together that evening, because,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>remember the Enox testified Joe and David were together around

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>five pm in the Enox driveway with the Lion cub

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>before David went to shoot fighting and Brett Enoch drove

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Joe to the mall. No matter how many times or

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>ways the guys said they asked, David continually left out

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that he was with Joe at least briefly on the

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 1>thirty first, the day Yvonne was murdered.

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 2>And then we're like, well, wait a second, you're in

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the Enox front yard with a fucking cat? How did

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>that happen if Joe?

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>David had repeatedly told me that he wasn't really friends

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 1>with Joe. Mainly he said he was only with Joe

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>when he saw him around town asking for a ride.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>But we also found some incident reports of David's run

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.479
<v Speaker 1>ins with the law, and one even mentions Joe Wilkes

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>being present. It seems like David knew Joe much better

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>than just a guy around town.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he just wanted to minimize how much he knew

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Joe's life and how much he was around Joe.

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 6>The tactic was to make sure he knew we knew

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 6>you are with Joe the evening that Ivonne later dies.

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>The guys told me, Once David realized he could not

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>get around being with Joe the evening of the thirty first,

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>he then incorporated Joe back into the story.

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.599
<v Speaker 3>Then he goes and he's at the drive through of

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 3>bo Bob's Whore What at Bob's Fizza? And he looks

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 3>up and all of a sudden, there's Joe waving at

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 3>him and says, hey, you know what are you doing? Oh?

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 3>This is where I'm staying. Here's the driveway, pull in here,

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 3>and he said, I had no idea that he was

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 3>staying at the Enix. It was pure coincidence.

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>In the past, when David explained how he wound up

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>with Joe that evening, his official written out timeline was

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that he just saw him walking and picked him up.

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>No mention of Bob's pizza. Could he be confused, Sure,

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's hard for me to get past that. If

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you're innocent, you don't know backwards and forwards the day

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that ruined your life exactly to a t what you

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>were doing, especially when you were brought into the police

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>station two days later as a person of interest. This

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was not weeks later. I believe that story would solidify

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in your brain.

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, we know memories aren't tape recorders. Just tell

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 3>us what you do remember And.

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 7>And he left out the person that is responsible for

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 7>him sitting in that jail. He completely without prompting, he

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 7>was not going to bring up the fact that he

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 7>was with Joe at the Enix.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they asked David about what Sam Peig said. Remember,

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>she's one of Joe's best friends, and she told us

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 1>that Joe had repeatedly told her before the murder that

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 1>David wanted Yvonne gone.

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, some weeks leading up to the murder, Joe

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 3>was saying that you were telling him that you wanted of.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 4>On gone It's.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 3>And I said, a point blank did that happen? No?

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 3>That was the other place where I put in my notes.

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 3>He said no, and then he immediately goes into how

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 3>pitiful Joe is, And so I wrote my notes, changed

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 3>subject quickly.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>So the guy's pivoted to the test.

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>So I said, okay, who are you before all of

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 3>this happened, you know, and one to tell him to

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 3>tell us good things, which he did, only tell us

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 3>good things. I was a great friend. I was loyal,

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know, I could be a little bit

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 3>of a knuckleab whatever. And so they're like, okay, well,

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>what trouble did?

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Was there any trouble?

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>I got a few speeding tickets, Danny, you know, says

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 3>little tell us about this broken window thing and.

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 1>One of the incident reports we found.

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Then he tells us about that, and you know, we

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 3>go on and and well what else, you know, what

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>other kind of stuff did you get into? And you know,

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 3>every fucking thing that we mentioned, Well, what about you? Know,

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 3>did you did you kick somebody's door? Oh yeah, I

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 3>did that.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>When it wasn't offering, we had to hit him with

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>what we knew.

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and once he knew.

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>We knew, then he did, oh yeah, that's true.

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 3>And if it's like, okay, what else, well did you

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 3>you know you grab somebody's lip?

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 4>And oh yeah, I did do that, the guy said.

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Once they told him that he did it and they

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>knew he did, then he'd admit to these things. But

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it was always someone else's fault.

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 4>It's never him.

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>It's always somebody else.

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly right and everything. It can't be always somebody.

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Exactly every every altercation that we were able to pull

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 3>out of him, it was somebody else's fault. You know, I.

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 5>Just kind of key on.

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 3>It was really something to me that we gave him

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 3>plenty of opportunities, like, dude, good, bad or ugly, you know,

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 3>tell us what your life was like, what you were

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 3>involved in, any trouble you got in. I got a

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 3>few speeding tickets, and that was all he was going

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 3>to say. He didn't volunteer a single thing, did he

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 3>As far as like any of those incidents.

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to play chunks of the conversation we had,

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>but know that we were driving in the background. Noise

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>changes from one moment to the next.

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Still, everything that we got out of him was because

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 3>we knew ahead of time what these accusations were. He

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 3>did not volunteer a motherfucking things.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Like prosecutors are taught, never ask a question that you

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>don't already know the answer.

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's what we did.

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>It only as we asked, did he give them yep.

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 4>Only he was.

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Going to leave it as I got a few speeding tickets.

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 4>That was that.

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 3>That's where he wanted to leave it. That was his answer.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 3>And we even let a let a pause sit there

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 3>for a little bit where nobody said anything like what

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 3>about shooting out the car? Yeah, I had to do that.

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Remember the allegation from his ex girlfriend Angie that he

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>shot out her four tires.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Only one time, only one tires and it was my car.

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 2>But he did.

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 3>He denied choking her, he denied pulling her hair and

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 3>hitting her head into the.

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Steeas he denied it all. I felt defeated. I'd put

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>so much time into this and so much of my

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>credibility and emotion, But this time at least I was

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>ready for it. I asked the guys to give it

0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to me straight. Did they think they could take David's case?

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know when you leave an interview and

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you feel like you've shared more information than the person

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.639
<v Speaker 2>who's fighting for their life, there's a reason behind that,

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and we he is.

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>There or is he an idiot?

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 5>Could be?

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, David's a charismatic guy and a

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 3>slick talker, but I'm not going to say that he's

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 3>a brain surgeon. You know he's because you know, I

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 3>don't know, Well, are.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 4>You picking up on these David Koresh vibes.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I've picked up on this vibe, the flutter and the grin.

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 4>He's not having to.

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Make direct contact with someone because I feel like that's

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 2>his way with him handling uncomfortable or sensitive discussions. He

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 2>did it throughout that interview because he was so by

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the first ten minutes, twenty minutes, it was so obvious

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 2>to me that as things first twenty minutes we were

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 2>talking about prison.

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it was.

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But as we started to engage in sensitive areas and

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.919
<v Speaker 2>I watched his facial mannerisms, that was like, it's almost

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 2>like watching someone on a polygraph, on a control question,

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and then a.

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 4>Rational question.

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's easy to say, yes, my name is Danny,

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes I'm from Austin, Texas or whatever. But then did

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 2>you kill her? It was the same way when we

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 2>got into sensitive areas. His head would drop a little bit,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>his eyes would flow, its blinking was delayed, and he

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 2>would grin as he gave this, oh that snow, big

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 2>deal kind of answer. Did you notice it like that job?

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I did.

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying that's weird. And it wasn't only that

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>David couldn't be straight about his violent past.

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:03.400
<v Speaker 2>He could produce nothing, could not be refuge our suspicions.

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Our biggest issue is we could never detach Joe from

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Vonn's house. And we know that at five o'clock that night,

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you were with Joe, as shitty as he was, as

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 2>messed up as his life was. At five o'clock, you

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 2>were in the front yard of the home he was

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 2>living in, showing off a tiger, and a few hours

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 2>later she's dead. That's our problem.

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and what did you say?

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 2>He had nothing?

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 5>Nothing?

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 2>He had nothing.

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I had hoped when the guys met David, he'd fight

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 1>for his life with everything he had to prove his innocence.

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't seem like what happened at all.

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to make it all sound bad and

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 3>horrible or anything like that, but there the overall thing

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 3>was not really good. He knows what's happening right now.

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 3>He knows that he's got to be forthcoming. I made

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 3>that clear to him from the very beginning.

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And he wasn't. So that led the guys to a

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 1>conclusion about whether they can continue the investigation, continue to

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>invest time and money.

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Answer those questions. I told him that straight up.

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You just weren't truthful. Yeah, you omitted information. We can't

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>do it if you're going to be like that.

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 3>And it never would have even come up. He would have,

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, had had the three of us not been

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 3>on the ground and learn what we learned. And there's

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 3>part of me that wants to take up for Joe if,

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 3>in my heart of hearts, I believe that David had

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 3>something to do with that. Part of me wants to

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 3>take up for Joe because you know, everybody believes in

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:55.360
<v Speaker 3>David and Joe's the bad guy, and if David had

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 3>something to do with that that's completely unfair to Joe.

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Then you know what's next. There's always a bombshell. The

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>guys told me some information that floored me. David always

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>gave me the impression he didn't know about Yvonne's sex

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>work until trial. But then I saw his girlfriend's grand

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>jury testimony saying David told her Yvonne quote had a

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>drug problem and was a quote prostitute. And there's also

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>David's grandfather telling the grand jury quote she was a

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>high priced call girl. I circled back to David. How

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.360
<v Speaker 1>could people in his life know about the sex work

0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>if he himself hadn't told them about it. He said, okay,

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 1>he knew, but only after they broke up. It seemed

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>we were both confused, so I never could get a

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 1>clear answer. But I never really thought it was important,

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 1>just odd, so I let it be. But because it

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 1>was odd, I mentioned it to the guys and they

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 1>figured if it was odd to me, maybe it meant something.

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 1>So they asked David the sex work and stuff.

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he knew all about that. He took her to

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 3>He took her to West Virginia because she was going

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 3>to be an escort at these things. What the fucking

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 3>full well, knowing full well that's what she was going

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to do.

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 2>But yes, he was like, yeah, I just like I

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 2>know she's doing. He's going to drop her off and

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 2>just get it out of my mind.

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 1>The guys said that he told them he knew exactly

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>why she was going, and when they asked how he

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 1>felt about it, he explained that he just had to

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.480
<v Speaker 1>put it out of his mind and move on. Remember

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what David told me. What did you think

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 1>she was doing when she was going to the conventions?

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 8>He chip talking that she got an office job and

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 8>she was going to a convention for something that doll.

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't recall what it was, to be honest, it

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 8>was only a half tin of attention to what it

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 8>was that she was even talking about For a job.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>He claimed he didn't know and didn't ask. I was furious,

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>So then why did he lie to me?

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.199
<v Speaker 3>We don't have to ask him that I don't know?

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And I did. That's next time on the finale of

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Death and Deceit and Alliance. Coming up on Death and

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Deceit and Alliance, I.

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 8>Told him, I said, I don't know exactly what time

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 8>that I was there other than that I never said

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 8>I wasn't there, David.

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>You had to have thought about that day a million times.

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the day that put you in prison.

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Whether David would go up to it or not.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Finding the nuggets David a chance.

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 2>It's just getting harder to find. I mean, we've turned

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 2>over enough stones to where there's only a sea left

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>and that.

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing under the remaining stones.

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, they had to pull information out of you.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but I don't know what it is that you

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:03.200
<v Speaker 8>want me to say to you unless.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 4>You ask me the question the timeline of your day?

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>They said, what is the timeline of your day? You

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.160
<v Speaker 1>know you're at the Enoch. Why didn't you put that

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>in your timeline?

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 2>If Chris Campbell stands by the story, if Sam stands

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 2>by the story, do you have contemporaneous and continuing.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Verification, and then we have a hidden domestic.

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Violence situation which was violent.

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:26.600
