00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Rachel del Tondo absolutely stunning.

2
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: The mystery regarding her murder may have culminated in the

3
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: announcement of a prime suspect. I'm Nancy Grace. This is

4
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us here at

5
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: series XEM one eleven. At this hour, we learned that

6
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: the so called lover, younger lover, and former student has

7
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: been named as prime suspect in the young teacher's murder.

8
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: He recalled Rachel Deltondo, shot multiple times in her mother's

9
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: driveway in Pennsylvania on Mother's Day. Now, after five years

10
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: following the brutal murderer, the district attorney has announced the

11
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: prime suspect and a so called crime of passion. He's

12
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: also saying that as of right now, he doesn't have

13
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: enough evidence to prosecute. Seriously, we are learning that we

14
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: are learning the name of the alleged prime suspect, Sheldon Jeter.

15
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: The District Attorney Beaver County DA David Leiser is actually

16
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: asking for help from the public and says he's opening

17
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: new avenues such as a reward for new information. Jeter

18
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: was Rachel Deltando's much younger lover and former student. According

19
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: to sources, just before her death, she had been suspended

20
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: from her job at Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School on a

21
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: claim she had been involved with the male student at

22
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: her school. Now this is after cops says they saw

23
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: her with a teen boy in a parked car to

24
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: a m She was never criminally charged. What really happened?

25
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: What do we know about the murder of this beautiful

26
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: young woman? Take a listen to our friends at CBS Pittsburgh.

27
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: It was Mother's Day night, just before eleven o'clock when

28
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Aliquippa police got a nine to one one call about

29
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: shots fired on Buchanan Street near Broadhead Road. They found

30
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: thirty three year old Rachel del Tondo outside her home

31
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: in the driveway. She had been shot several times. Neighbors

32
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: say they heard as many as ten to twelve shots.

33
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: Family members say del Tondo was returning home from getting

34
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: ice cream with a friend when she was shocked.

35
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: You know that sheds a whole new light on it,

36
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: another wrinkle to be discovered and figured out. Multiple shots,

37
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: It's not like an accident drive by. This girl was

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: targeted with me an all star panel. Ashu Willcott Judge

Speaker 1: Special Guests joining us. John Paul, journalist, founder of Beaver

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: County in dot com. But first to Joseph Scott Morgan,

47
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: Professor forensics. There's a big difference, and I may have

48
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: to go to our shrink. Doctor Bethany Marshall on this.

49
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: When somebody is shot once, like in a bar fight,

50
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I just always use that example. And somebody that's shot

51
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: multiple times, seemingly it's not necessarily a drive by, Joe Scott,

52
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: because with a drive by, you don't think of the

53
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: person as stopping and shooting. A drive by is more

54
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: like a high and bite you're dead, But multiple shots

55
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: is an entirely different scenario. Joseph Scott Morgan.

56
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that can go to kind of two states of mind, Nancy.

57
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: You can have an individual that's unfamiliar with weapons that

58
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: will just fire in a rapid succession, particularly with a

59
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: semi automatic handgun, where it's ejecting the shells immediately. Or

60
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: you can have an event where an individual much like

61
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: an overkill with a stabbing or a beating, where they

62
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: just keep firing and firing and firing and firing, and

63
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: one of the singular motivations is that they're very angry

64
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: at that point in time. So you've got those two

65
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: things to kind of choose from.

66
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Also, when you think of a drive by, you think

67
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: of somebody just willing nearly bam bam, bam, bam bam.

68
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: If you hit your target multiple times and I mean

69
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: even more than once, that means you have stopped. You

70
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: have aimed kind of sniper ish at this particular person.

71
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: That is a much more complex crime. Rachel Deltondo having

72
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: ordered a wedding dress, I want to go to a

73
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: discussion of that because, as it turned out, that became

74
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: a centerpiece of the investigation, the ordering of the wedding dress.

75
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: But who is her fiance? Take a listen to our

76
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: friends at CBS forty eight hours.

77
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: Rachel was dating a wonderful young man. Frank was engaged,

78
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: but they both agreed to break up with a significant

79
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: others and came together.

80
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: Frank the son of a retired police officer, was building

81
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 5: an empire and trucking cable and energy, so successful that

82
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: a local online magazine Dubkodropa the Wolf of Aliquippa. Rachel

83
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 5: was the teacher with a soft heart who liked to

84
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: help troubled students. And at first, were you happy with

85
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: the relationship?

86
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: Yes, uh huh, Frankie was generous.

87
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: What drew you to her?

88
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 6: Obviously, she's a pretty girl, She's nice, genuine, big hearted, She's.

89
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 7: A good girl.

90
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 5: Were you in love with Rachel?

91
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 8: Yeah?

92
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: One time I was absolutely.

93
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: You're hearing frank KaTropa. The fiance has had to deal

94
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: with the murder of Rachel Daltonda. But now let's get

95
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: to the designer wedding dress. Take a listen to again

96
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: to our friend Aaron Moriarty.

97
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: Wedding plans commenced immediately, and so did a Shakespearean battle

98
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: over who was running the show.

99
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: You know how, you get engaged and you let the

100
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: woman take over. Frankie didn't want to do that.

101
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 9: He was in charge of Benner.

102
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 8: Everything.

103
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: Wanted to go to the hall, wanted to see the flowers,

104
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: wanted them. I mean, if he could have saw her dress,

105
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: he'd be happy.

106
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 6: There was just a lot of outside interference with some

107
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 6: of her family.

108
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 5: Particularly her mom. Yes, Lisa bought her daughter a ten

109
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 5: thousand dollars wedding dress and a pair of three thousand

110
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 5: dollars shoes. Frank as for a prenuptial agreement, and.

111
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 10: I said, you know, how do you feel about that.

112
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 10: She's like, I'm fine with it.

113
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: I'll sign it.

114
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: I don't want him to think that I want him

115
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: just for his money.

116
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 5: But in the end, Rachel refused.

117
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: In the end, she refused the prenup. Let's go out

118
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: to journalist and founder of Beaver County dot Com John Paul. John,

119
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: I want to focus right now on that wedding dress.

120
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: A ten thousand dollars wedding dress. Now, ladies don't judge me,

121
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: but when David and I got decided to get married,

122
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: we decided on a Tuesday that we would get married

123
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday. That's how that went down. I ordered a

124
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: wedding dress in two different sizes from a catalog and

125
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: it came just in time. I thought about wearing my boots,

126
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: my cowboy boots, which I wore twenty four to seven,

127
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: three sixty five, But in the end bowed to peer

128
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: pressure and got a beautiful pair of shoes. Gorgeous Jackie

129
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: at DSW. I think that's Designershoe Outlet Warehouse, right. So

130
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time, John Paul, trying to get

131
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: my mind around a ten thousand dollars dress and a

132
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: three especially a three thousand dollars pair of shoes. But

133
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: the mother, Rachael Dultana's mother insisted on it. It was

134
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: going to be a fairy tale wedding. Just my first question,

135
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: John Paul, And I don't know if you've been asked

136
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: this yet. What pair of shoes cost three thousand dollars?

137
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 8: They were designer shoes that the mother purchased, and she

138
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 8: was proud of them. I mean, Rachel Deltona was her

139
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 8: only daughter, and she was the center of their life,

140
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 8: and they adored her, and they're kind of a traditional

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 8: Italian family and this was a major milestone, not just

142
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 8: in her life, but in the life of her parents.

143
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 8: And they're not people of extraordinary means, and buying the

144
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 8: shoes was no doubt in extravagance, but I think it

145
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 8: was a loving mother's way of letting a daughter know

146
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 8: that she was proud of her.

147
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: John Paul, John Paul, you're making me think of Cinderella

148
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and the glass slippers. And to you, doctor Bethany Marshall,

149
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: I get this mother and the three thousand dollars pair

150
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: of shoes. I get it.

151
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 7: Nancy, I get it too.

152
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 11: Hey, I practice in the heart of Beverly Hills, and

153
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 11: I'm thinking, oh lord, okay, so what brand of shoes

154
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 11: did the mom get? I can only think blue Boutons

155
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 11: with Tarasky crystals. That's I'm sure what she had. When

156
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 11: you buy a pair of shoes like that, it's not

157
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 11: the shoes that you're buying. You're buying hopes and dreams.

158
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 11: You're buying the future. You're buying an idealized life founded

159
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 11: on love and attachment. And you're thinking about grandchildren, right

160
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 11: because the mother bought her the shoes. You're thinking about

161
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 11: grandchildren and a home. And then all of that is

162
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 11: cut short. And I think what's tragic is the grand

163
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 11: and beautiful and poignant nature of the dreams juxtaposed between

164
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 11: multiple shots in her daughter's chest Oh in the.

165
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: Driveway and in her driveway.

166
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 7: In the driveway.

167
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Welcome Back. In the Last Hours.

168
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: A high school football star, now in his twenties is

169
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: named the prime suspect in the murder of teacher Rachel

170
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: Deltondo's death. She was gunned down outside of her own

171
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: mother's home, firing ten to twelve shots at her neighbors

172
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: reported hearing it. Rachel Deltando pronounced dead at the scene

173
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: around ten thirty pm on Mother's Day night. She had

174
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: just gone out for ice cream. And as you just

175
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: heard from our new friend John Paul, journalist and founder

176
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: of Beaver County in dot com, the parents were by

177
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: no means wealthy, but this is their only daughter, so

178
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: they go overboard and they buy her a Cinderella dress

179
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: for ten thousand dollars and a three thousand dollar pair

180
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: of shoes. When you said, John Paul, their only daughter,

181
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: it just broke my heart. It just broke my heart.

182
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Joining me Ashley Wilcott, judge, trial lawyer, court TV anchor

183
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: and mother of one girl, I happen to know that

184
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: for a fact, like me, Ashley, you know I would

185
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: never spend that kind of money on myself, forget it.

186
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I get my shoes resold, but for Lucy,

187
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: I might just put it on a credit card. I mean,

188
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't see myself buying a three thousand dollar pair

189
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: of shoes, but I would do something much more extravagant

190
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: for her than I would ever dream of doing for myself.

191
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 9: Absolutely, that's what we do for our kids. And so

192
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 9: while it sounds outlandish to think you'd spend that much money,

193
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 9: you know, keep in mind the description of terms of

194
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 9: their community, right, and so maybe as a parent, you're

195
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 9: gonna do whatever it takes to make that day shine

196
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 9: for your daughter. I think it's extravagant too. But let

197
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 9: me just mention. Do you know how many parents and

198
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 9: young ladies take out loans to cover extravagant expenses like

199
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 9: these because weddings are so important to them.

200
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: You know. It reminds me of in senior year. We

201
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: went on a senior trip and I came home and

202
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: my dad actually had tears in his eyes. I mean,

203
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: they did not have this kind of money, and he

204
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: had bought me a car. It was Toyota Corolla two

205
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: door sky blue, metallic blue, and I just it was

206
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that ever happened to us. For me

207
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: to get a car, I was just unheard of, and

208
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: he was so proud what parents do for their children.

209
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: But then everything went sideways. Take a listen to our

210
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: friends at kd KA Pittsburgh. This is Marty Griffin.

211
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 12: When Rachel got engaged, Mom took over planning a big

212
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 12: time wedding, including a nearly ten thousand dollars gown to

213
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 12: be handmade by a New York designer.

214
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: It was a custom dress had to be made to

215
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: her measurements.

216
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 12: The family put down a deposit of more than four

217
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 12: thousand dollars that, according to the contract, was non refundable

218
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 12: and non transferable under any circumstances. Lisa Deltondo says she

219
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 12: got that from day one.

220
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 4: I was told that this is binding.

221
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I knew what this thing said.

222
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 12: They bought the dress at an Gregory for the bride

223
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 12: in Dormont. Rachel Deltondo was measured. The family put down

224
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 12: Nearly half four months after the contract was signed, the

225
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 12: wedding was called off. Lisa Deltondo called the New York

226
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 12: designer to see if they had started on the dress

227
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 12: and asked for a refund.

228
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: I called New York. I did. He told me it

229
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: couldn't be done.

230
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 12: Deltondo says she told the local bridal salon she'd pay

231
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 12: the balance and take delivery of the dress.

232
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: I wanted the gown, sell it.

233
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 12: Deltando says the salon never delivered the dress and refuse

234
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 12: to refund her money, so she took the owner to

235
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 12: small claims court.

236
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Wow, all this the mom is trying to sort through

237
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: To John Paul, journalists, founder of Beaver County and dot com,

238
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: John Paul in a nutshell, And I know you don't

239
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: run the column for the lovelorn, But why did they

240
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: break up? Have anything to do with her not signing

241
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: the print up.

242
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 8: I think their relationship had been described to me is

243
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 8: kind of on again, off again for a very long

244
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 8: time anyway, So they would they would be real close

245
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 8: and then they were kind of distance and then date

246
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 8: and and so the the lack of signing the pre

247
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 8: nump at the time I think was an impetus for

248
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 8: them to kind of break apart some But they continued

249
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 8: to see each other after that. They continue to date,

250
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 8: so it's not like they went their separate ways in

251
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 8: life at that point. And to correct myself, something real quick.

252
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 8: That's sure. I might have mistakenly earlier said that she

253
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 8: was their own child. She was their only daughter. They

254
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 8: have a son that they're also very proud of.

255
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, right, only daughter, just like me,

256
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Just like ask you. We have one daughter and then

257
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: all those nasty little boys. So let me ask you

258
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: a question. To doctor Bethany Marshall, the reason I'm focusing

259
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: so much on the fiance is because that's who you

260
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: look to initially in every place. You know what, Sorry, Bethany,

261
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: let me throw this to James shell Nutt, twenty seven

262
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: years Metro major case swat now lawyer James shell Nutt.

263
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: No offense to all the husband's exes, lovers, boyfriends out there.

264
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: But that's where the investigation has to start. Bottom line.

265
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: That's what you sign up for when you're in a relationship.

266
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: If that significant other goes missing, you're the first one

267
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: please come. So why is that, shell Nutt?

268
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 13: Well, the reason is is because those are the people

269
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 13: who often commit the crimes against women who come up

270
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 13: missing or debt. You start as an investigator with the

271
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 13: most logical suspects, which generally are the people closest to

272
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 13: the victim.

273
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: That's right. Statistically, it's overwhelming that the perpetrators typically someone

274
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: very close to you, if not romantically linked. Okay, so

275
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: the wedding is called off and that's not an aspersion

276
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: on either one of them. Weddings are postponed. People turned

277
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: down engagements all the time for very intricate reasons that

278
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: we may not understand. But take a listen now to

279
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: KDKA Marty Griffin.

280
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: She took the owner to small Claims Court and it

281
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: says disposition default judgment for plain of.

282
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 12: Court papers indicate the salon owner did not appear for

283
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 12: the hearing. As a result, he was ordered to pay

284
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 12: the Deltondos more than forty six hundred dollars.

285
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: He had thirty days to write us a check or.

286
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 12: File on a pill and he didn't either. He didn't

287
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 12: either salon owner Gregory Jericho in an email, he told

288
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 12: me December god by me with two deaths in the family,

289
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 12: we will be sending a certified check out to Deltondo.

290
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 12: Thanks for your efforts. His attorney sent us a letter stating,

291
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 12: mister Jericho denies that Ann Gregory owed any money to

292
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 12: miss Deltondo, as she was given the purchase contract had

293
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 12: an opportunity to review the terms of the contract, which

294
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 12: unambiguously advised her that the custom order for her bridle

295
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 12: gown could not be refunded.

296
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: The reason this is significant to John Paul, founder Beaver

297
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: County in dot Com is because the engagement, the breakoff,

298
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: and the dress brew haha ends up on local TV

299
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: with one of those consumer report specialists. Isn't that true?

300
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: John Paul? The case was featured on the local news

301
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: and everybody in the in that metro area saw Rachel Deltanda,

302
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: saw the dress and learned the wedding was called off.

303
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Isn't that true? John Paul?

304
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was, certainly it kind of I guess the

305
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 8: novelty is the word at the time, and obviously this

306
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 8: is before her murder, and you know, novelty is not

307
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 8: the word I would use anymore, but at the time

308
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 8: it was like a novelty and something everyone kind of

309
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 8: spoke about. And Frank Petropa described it as something of

310
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 8: an embarrassment at the time because he is a successful

311
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 8: businessman by any major and to have this sort of

312
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 8: consumer report feature on the local news about disputes over

313
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 8: his ex fiance's wedding dress was a little humiliating, He.

314
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Said, exactly, so you've got all that brewing to doctor

315
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall' psychoanalyst to Beverly yells, Bethany, why are we

316
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: so there's even been a movie runaway bride? Remember that?

317
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: And then when what was her name, Jackie Jennifer. I'll

318
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: think of it in a moment, The real runaway bride

319
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: that took off and claimed she was abducted. Blah blah blah.

320
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: That was a big lie the night before her wedding.

321
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Why are we so obsessed with calling off the wedding?

322
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: The runaway bride jilted at the altar? Why why do

323
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: people love that so much? I don't get it.

324
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 11: I can tell you why, because when you have a

325
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 11: fairytale wedding and you have a princess, you put that

326
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 11: person on a pedestal. And if you've seen pictures of

327
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 11: Long Brown where each photo has beautiful makeup, high heels,

328
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 11: sequin embellished dresses, so she is a real life, real

329
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 11: life princess in a very small town. So when we

330
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 11: see Prince Charming and his bride, we all inject ourselves

331
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 11: into the story because we want those kinds of lives.

332
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 11: For ourselves and then when they break up, it sparks

333
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 11: all kinds of fantasies.

334
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: A prime suspect has been named in the murder of

335
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: high school teacher Rachel del Tondo. Now, according to the

336
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: local prosecutor, her murder has been very difficult to prosecute.

337
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: No eyewitnesses can never recover the gun used in the shooting,

338
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: but now GPS and surveillance footage has built a very

339
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: strong case. Reportedly that the former student had a quote

340
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: pattern of stalking his teacher around the time of her murder.

341
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: We're learning that warrants are set down to be unsealed

342
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: the day I appealed to the public for help, saying

343
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: his office knees lynchpin evidence placing Jeter at the crime

344
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: scene and is willing to offer a reward. What happened

345
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: to Rachel deltondau? What more do we know? Take a

346
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at CBS forty eight hours. This

347
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: is Aaron Moriarty.

348
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: Lisa Deltondo was extremely close with her thirty three year

349
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 5: old daughter. Rachel was still living at home with Lisa

350
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 5: and her father, Joe Deltondo.

351
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: Every night She'd come in every night, sit at my bed,

352
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: and give me a synopsis of the whole day.

353
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: That night, there would be no bedside report. After supper,

354
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 5: Rachel went for ice cream with friends, and then just

355
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: minutes after being dropped back home around ten forty five pm,

356
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: Rachel was shot several times at close range.

357
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 8: The information I have from law enforcement is that they

358
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 8: do believe she knew her killer. They believe it to

359
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 8: be a crime of passion.

360
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: To Joseph Scott, Morgan forensics expert, professor forensics, jacksonvill State

361
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: and author, let's analyze the same. I know, Joe Scott,

362
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: your expertise is forensics.

363
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 13: I love that.

364
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I know you probably think I spent too long on

365
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: the wedding dress, but I had to set up the

366
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: moment because all of that matters too. Now you hit

367
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: me with a forensics scout.

368
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: I got to tell you, no, I think the wedding

369
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: dress is a fantastic idea because, my god, there are

370
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: certainly motivation, there a lot of anger. But from the

371
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 3: perspective of the forensics, you know, they mentioned that this

372
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: is a close range event. That means that this individual

373
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: was able to get close to her and they're able

374
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: to determine range of fire by just saying that, Okay,

375
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: that's where that's coming from. So what we think, or

376
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: what I would think approsely putting forward, is that there

377
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: might be there might be powder and that is un

378
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 3: burned gunpowder on her person, and that would put the

379
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: individual within possibly three maybe two feet away from this individual.

380
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: So they're talking about close range. That's significant here, Nancy.

381
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: How was this individual able to get so close to

382
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: her at the side entrance of the house and then

383
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: put this many rounds into her body at that moment?

384
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: How many rounds? How many rounds?

385
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: I don't know from what I've heard thus far.

386
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Do we know, John Paul, do you know how many

387
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: times she was actually shot?

388
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 8: The information I for investigators is basically the entire handgun

389
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 8: had been loaded into her.

390
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: Okay, that is rage she is targeted. And Joe Scott

391
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: Morgan is speaking in highly technical terms as usual, But

392
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: what he's trying to say about gunshot Potter is police

393
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: say that it was a close range. How do you

394
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: know that if it's point blank a shot to the

395
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: head or the body. You see stippling or burn marks

396
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: where the bullet comes out of the gun and it

397
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: leaves almost like a tattoo. On your skin. Close range

398
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: gunshot powder residue GSR. When you fire a gun, it

399
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: goes about can go about thirty six inches, which means

400
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: if they found gunshot residue on her on her body,

401
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: that means the killer was about was within thirty six

402
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: inches to her body based on gunshot residue, right, Joe Scott, Yeah,

403
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: you're right.

404
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: And if you yeah, and I've heard you use this analogy,

405
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: and this is a perfect in the past. Actually, when

406
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: we think about a water hose when you press when

407
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: you press the nozzle on a water hose, say in

408
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: the yard, and it kind of spreads out. The further

409
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: you go from the end of that water hose, the

410
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: further that that fount of water spreads out. The same

411
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: thing with powder. You've got a projectile that is the

412
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: bullet itself firing into the body, but you've got all

413
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: of this other debris that comes out of the end

414
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 3: of the barrel, specifically unfurned powder. And the further it's

415
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: spread out, the greater the distance. So after a moment

416
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: in time, that powder is going to fall to the earth.

417
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: It's not very aerodynamic, so it'll fall to the earth

418
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: baby powder, Yeah, yeah, exactly, baby powder is the perfect,

419
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: perfect example with this. I ort to anybody at home

420
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: that wants to know how to do this, simply put

421
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: some palf.

422
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 10: In your hand, standing in a well lighted room. I

423
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 10: teach mess students, says at Jacksonville State and blow and

424
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 10: you'll see how in that moment it'll just disperse into

425
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 10: the air, this cloud, and this deposits on the body

426
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 10: and it's superheated many times. And when you said tattooing,

427
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 10: that's actually what we call it. The unburned powder gets

428
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 10: beneath the skin and it's embedded in there, almost like tattooing.

429
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: To John Paul, journalist, founder of Beavercounty in dot com,

430
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: John Paul, what time of the day or night was this?

431
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 8: It was at night, so yeah, you're being Chartley before

432
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 8: eleven pm, at nine seven pm.

433
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: And she had been out to an ice cream parlor

434
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: with who what friends?

435
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 8: But Lorden Watkins was the one driving the car and Tyrie.

436
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: How old was she?

437
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 8: She would have been seventeen at the time.

438
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: So were these her students? No, so she had friends

439
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: with younger people he did. Okay, that just strikes me

440
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: as odd. I don't know why, but maybe it's not odd,

441
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: but she was with two. How old was the other person?

442
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 8: Tyree would have been in his twenties. I believe mid twenties.

443
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: Okay, so a male and a female. The female was

444
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: driving For all I know. There were previous students, were

445
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: they John Paul?

446
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 8: Neither of them had ever been her students?

447
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Interesting? Interesting to me. So as police are digging through

448
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: this case, trying to figure out who, what, where, why,

449
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: and when information comes to light, take a listen about

450
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: a previous event, CBS forty eight hours Aaron Moriarty.

451
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: According to the report, it was nearly two am when

452
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 5: Rachel and Sheldon were discovered in her car, not eleven PM,

453
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 5: as Rachel had said, and not at the circle K,

454
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: but in this abandoned lot. You obviously come here not

455
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 5: to be seen.

456
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 8: You've come here to not be seen. The police said

457
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 8: the windows were steed, which made them believe that the

458
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 8: vehicle had been parked for some time, and the passenger

459
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 8: seat was fully reclined.

460
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 5: The report states that Rachel told police that Sheldon was

461
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: once a student of hers and now a friend and

462
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 5: they were just talking, But it also says she didn't

463
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: want her fiance to know because he would get mad,

464
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 5: and he was upset about it.

465
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 6: He was upset when he was about to leave his

466
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: out of the water. You know, it was more confused

467
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 6: than anything angry. I wouldn't say that I was angry.

468
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 5: Frank was allowed to take home that copy of the report,

469
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 5: and a day or two later, someone used did it

470
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: to strike a devastating blow at Rachel del Tondo's reputation.

471
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: Man, I can't believe this happened to that girl. To

472
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: John Paul, journalists founder Beaver County dot Com, John Paul,

473
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: wasn't it generally proven that Rachel was not making out

474
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: or having sex relations with this younger guy who is

475
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: a former student. They were both clothed when the cops

476
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: came up to the car. The car, Yes, it was

477
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: two am, and as I love to argue to jury's

478
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: nothing good happens after midnight, two am and a parked

479
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: car in an abandoned parking lot. But when cops came

480
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: up to it, they were in fact sitting there talking.

481
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: Do I have that right, John Paul?

482
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 8: Yeah? They certainly. There were no charges filed by police,

483
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 8: and their incident report that was generated about a year

484
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 8: later doesn't mention any witnessing of inappropriate behavior. That being said,

485
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 8: Sheldon Juter's attorney, Michael Santacola, has said that Sheldon and

486
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 8: Rachel had been having a sexual relationship since Sheldon had

487
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 8: been about fifteen or sixteen. That's something that Rachel's family

488
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 8: vehently denies, and when she was alive, that's something that

489
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 8: she had denied to me.

490
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: So even though police approached them and they are dressed

491
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: and they are in fact just talking, there was a

492
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: police report made. The main thing she said was don't

493
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: tell my fiance. This is what we learn. Someone anonymously,

494
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: someone with that police report anonymously emails and texts the

495
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: incident to Rachel's school, the school board, the mayor, the media.

496
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: It's unknown who sent it, although how can you not

497
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: check the IP on the email? And the report was

498
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: sent two days after Frank KaTropa, the jilted fiance, receives

499
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: the report. He claims he didn't do it. Okay, what

500
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: effect did that have on her reputation? To John Paul

501
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: journalists Beaver County dot com. When someone the parents believe

502
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: it was the fiance, emailed out texted out this report

503
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: to the school board. What happened?

504
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 8: Well, you can imagine what happened? Happened? She gets suspended

505
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 8: from her job. It makes front page news that a

506
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 8: teacher was caught in a car with a young person,

507
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 8: and uh.

508
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: It was.

509
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 8: It was a matter of a most controversy.

510
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 6: A team.

511
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace Welcome back, of course, the former

512
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: student slash lover's defense lawyer who says that the district

513
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: attorney's announcement naming his client prime suspect reeks of quote

514
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: desperation and is much ado about nothing? Did he dare

515
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: quote Shakespeare? Oh? Yes he did, But let's see about that.

516
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Deltino's parents say they believe Jeter is guilty of killing

517
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: their daughter. They also said a lot of information connected

518
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: to the case has not been released to public. As

519
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: of right now, no one has been formally charged, no

520
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: one has been tried, nobody has been convicted. What happened

521
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: to Rachel Deltondau? What more do we know? Her past

522
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: is extremely important to the fact that she was murdered

523
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: execution style in her parents' own driveway ed mushrooms out

524
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: of control. Take a listen to our cut thirteen.

525
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 5: Less than a month after she was murdered, there were

526
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: three police chiefs in that all Equippa police department in

527
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 5: the span of one week, three police chiefs, and in fact,

528
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: the third chief actually handed over the investigation to the

529
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 5: county Detectives Bureau, So that gives you a sentence. When

530
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: you have those kind of distractions, it's very, very difficult

531
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: to focus on an investigation. And in fact, Rachel's murder

532
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 5: is actually the ninth unsolved murder in that area, So

533
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 5: people are losing faith in the police department.

534
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: To James Shell not twenty seven years metro major case

535
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: swat officer now lawyer.

536
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 13: Way In, Well, I mean, I think that one of

537
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 13: the first things you have to do is you have

538
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 13: to go back and take a look at all the

539
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 13: possible suspects in this case and what her current relationship

540
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 13: was with them. You know, you have got an awful

541
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 13: lot of people that either need to be eliminated or

542
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 13: need to have tenued investigation.

543
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: You know.

544
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 13: The concern that I have at this point in time

545
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 13: is that there are a lot of missed opportunities. There's

546
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 13: missed opportunities as far as taking a look at these witnesses,

547
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 13: getting things spend down, and I just I'm not sure

548
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 13: with the state of that department, with how things were handled,

549
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 13: whether or not they have lost some critical information that's

550
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 13: put them behind eight ball, you know.

551
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,239
Speaker 1: G John Paul, Founderbiaver County dot com. The fact that

552
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: that police report was leaked, It should never have been

553
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: given to the fiance to start with, but it was

554
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: then it was leaked, that her reputation was destroyed, then

555
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: she was gutted down. Why was it leaked?

556
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 8: Well, I think that's I think that's a very good question.

557
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 8: I think that's one that investigators would like an answer to. Certainly.

558
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 8: The other big issue that to create a problem for

559
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 8: the police department is the leak was not just to

560
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 8: the police report, but it also contained sensitive information from

561
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 8: a lot enforcement only justice network database that hand and

562
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 8: that contained.

563
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: Also if you had that database, what could you learn?

564
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: What good is the database?

565
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 8: Well, it provided the photographs, driver's license numbers, social security numbers.

566
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 8: I mean, it was every bit of private information about

567
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 8: yourself that a police department might have or that the

568
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 8: state might have that you could imagine. So that leak

569
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 8: was much more than just the report. It was a

570
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 8: sensitive personal information in state of Pennsylvania.

571
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: It's unlawfuled very sensitive.

572
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 11: Nancy, can I make a comment about that yes jump

573
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 11: In my clinical practice, whenever somebody reports to me that

574
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 11: their lover, their boyfriend, their friend is threatening to expose

575
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 11: them to their employer, I always think homicide. That's my

576
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 11: first worry that crosses my mind, because when you love somebody,

577
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 11: when you want to marry them, when they are your

578
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 11: best friend, when you've cherished that relationship, the last thing

579
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 11: you want to do is cause them to lose their job.

580
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 11: The last thing you want to do is be smirched

581
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 11: their reputation, make them look terrible. But whoever either released

582
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 11: that report or once it got into the hands of

583
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 11: the fiance, whoever sent it to the school board had

584
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 11: simmering hate and resentment towards her. They wanted to take

585
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 11: her down. When you report something negative to somebody's employer,

586
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 11: you're not thinking about their future anymore. You're cutting their

587
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 11: life short professionally, and that kind of person might have

588
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 11: wanted to cut her life short in a dramatic physical

589
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 11: way too well.

590
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Bethany. Less than one month after Rachel was murdered, three

591
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: police chiefs in the span of one week. The last

592
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: chief turned the investigation over to county detectives. Rachel's murder

593
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: the night dune saw murder in the area. Okay to you,

594
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan and the aftermath of her murder. Three

595
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: police chiefs.

596
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's.

597
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: If somebody's covering something up, Joe Scott. That's all I

598
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: can say about.

599
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: That something is yea, I absolutely agree with you. And

600
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: also to this point. Look, I'm a death investigator by trade.

601
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: That's all I have literally ever done, and so it

602
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: is the single most intense investigation from a forensic standpoint

603
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 3: that you can conduct. If your eyes are not on

604
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: the ball in a case like this and other cases

605
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: that this department is intimately involved with, you're going to

606
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 3: miss You're going to miss the big picture because you're

607
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: skipping over the finer details. They don't have time to

608
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: analyze the finer details because they're too busy, you know,

609
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: not being able to to take care of their own house. Here.

610
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: This is a major problem.

611
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: It's a huge mess. John Paul, Founder Beaver County in

612
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: dot com. Why three police chiefs in the aftermath of

613
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: her murder? What's happening?

614
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 8: Well, the first police chief was suspended when a councilman

615
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 8: came forward and said that he was aware that the

616
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 8: chief was the subject of a criminal investigation by the

617
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 8: state police.

618
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: Okay, but about the second one.

619
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 8: The second one was arrested by county detectives after he

620
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 8: had allegedly sent a pornographic image to Lauren Watkins, who

621
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 8: was the friend that dropped Rachel Deltondo off at home

622
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 8: the night that she was killed. And then the third

623
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 8: chief was the one that eventually turned it over to

624
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 8: county detectives. And that chief has since passed.

625
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: So all of this is stemming out were connected to

626
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: Rachel del Tondo's murder, and it's still und okay, question,

627
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: let's hear now, what's happening.

628
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 5: Just hours after Rachel Deltanda was killed, police were at

629
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 5: Sheldon Jeter's doorstep looking to question him, and a search

630
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 5: warrant application indicates that that visit raised questions. It states

631
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 5: that they asked Sheldon for the clothing he was wearing

632
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 5: that night, and he gave them other clothes.

633
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: That's not how it went down.

634
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 12: There was a polo clothes laying on the floor next

635
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 12: to his bed where he was sleeping. They got up

636
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 12: and said, are these the clothes that you were wearing?

637
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 7: Yeah?

638
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: Oh, my clothes are right there, So they scooped.

639
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 5: It up Sheldon's attorney insists it's not his client's fault

640
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 5: that the cops picked up the wrong clothes, but the

641
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 5: Warren application also states Sheldon failed to display any emotion

642
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 5: when he was informed of Rachel's death.

643
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 8: That's absolutely untrue.

644
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 6: He was shocked.

645
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 8: He was in shock.

646
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,479
Speaker 5: Lauren Wwkins, who has known Sheldon since elementary school, says

647
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 5: she doesn't believe he's capable of murder. She says she

648
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 5: never knew Rachel and Sheldon to have any type of

649
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 5: romantic relationship.

650
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: Guys, what happened to Rachel Daltando? It sounds like a

651
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: huge mess, you know, Ashley Wilcott, When you have to

652
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: hand your investigation over to somebody else like here, they

653
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: handed it over to county sheriffs. That's a horrible sign. God,

654
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: it says to me, something stinks.

655
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 9: Oh, I completely agree with you. And don't forget a

656
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 9: couple of little facts that I want to remind everybody about.

657
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 9: Number one is the fiance. I understood his father was

658
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 9: law enforcement at some point. The one of the girls

659
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 9: that she was having ice cream with I believe was

660
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 9: related to law enforcements. It is a tangled web, and

661
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 9: it's a mess. And let me just say this, When

662
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 9: you have this much turnover, I work for a county.

663
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 9: Right when you have this much turnover, there are bigger issues.

664
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 9: You've got major problems. And I think the major problem

665
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 9: here is people know things and are doing nothing about

666
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 9: it to solve.

667
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: This murder, the murder of Rachel del Tondo on Mother's Day.

668
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: At this hour, we learned that the so called lover,

669
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: younger lover and former student has been named as prime

670
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: suspect in the young teacher's murderer, Sheldon Jeter. We wait

671
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: as justice unfolds. Goodbye,
