We also learned of his 13 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 3: drug addiction, propensity for violence, and the twisted relationship he 14 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: had with Carrie Rothschild, one in which he acted as 15 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: a kind of broken guardian, rescuing her from the drug 16 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: fueled nightmare that was her mother's house and introducing her 17 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: to a whole new nightmare of drug dealing, dependence, and murder. 18 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: During that entire time, Natividad was also in a relationship 19 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 3: with Liz Godlove, who started to see the evil behind 20 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: his good looks almost immediately. 21 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: Well, like I said, I thought it was handsome and 22 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: you know, pretty much our first date, though he showed 23 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: a lot of jealousy. We've double dated that, and he 24 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: was super jealous of his own brother. His own brother 25 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: was talking to me a little bit too much and 26 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: that pissed him off, and he started driving crazy in 27 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 2: the car. 28 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: And yelling at his brother. Yeah, this is my date. 29 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: You have years back there, and it really. 30 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 3: Scared me, but not enough to deny his attraction.

You know, 36 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: he had the excuses about a stupid brother trying to 37 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: pick up on his dates all the time, and you know, 38 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: so put that to. 39 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: Bed just sixteen and caught up in a crush. Liz 40 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: ignored red flags and refused to see the patterns Natividad 41 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: demonstrated from the beginning as abusive, something that became much 42 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: more evident during the course of their relationship. 43 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was young and dumb. 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: Honestly, the jealousy Tim displayed on their first date continued, 45 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: and he quickly became possessive. Too young and inexperienced, Liz 46 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: mistook that intensity for love, and when I. 47 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 4: Would try to break up with him, he wouldn't have it. No, 48 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: he would not have it at all. 49 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: I tried a few times, and he would stab himself, 50 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: cut his wrists with razors. He would do all that 51 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: in front of me, and then, of course he tells 52 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: me not to tell anyone, But a lot of times 53 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: my sister was there, he'd go to the bathroom. 54 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: And start cutting his wrists. 55 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: Or I was at his mom and dad's house, he 56 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: was in his bedroom cutting his wrists. He came to 57 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: my work one evening and I noticed him in the 58 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: lunchroom in the middle of the night. It was really crowded, 59 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: and I noticed him watching me, and I'm like, oh 60 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: my god, you can get over here. You get downstairs now. 61 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: So I go flying downstairs after him. We get in 62 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: his car. 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: He pulls out a big knife and just starts packing 64 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: at himself in. 65 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: Blood, squirting everywhere, saying he's going to kill me, just 66 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: like that, stabbing himself. 67 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: So I get out of the car, run in and 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,119 Speaker 4: get help. Please come. 69 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Took him to the state hospital for the night and 70 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: he got out the next day. 71 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 4: So that's how I lived with him. That's how it was. 72 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: It was very scary and. 73 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: Aggressive, but Natividad's behavior wasn't just triggered by their relationship. 74 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: His brother said that when they grew up in California, 75 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: early on he was diagnosed schizophrenic. 76 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true. 77 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: I have no clue, but so the drugs could have 78 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: been the drugs. 79 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: This was a similar patterned to what Carrie Rothchild experienced 80 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: with Tim. His drug use led to Liz's drug use 81 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: at a very young age, and Liz says it was 82 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: spurred on by Tim's own mother. 83 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: His mom had turned us onto Crosstops speed early on. 84 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 4: I think we were seventeen. Then. They're a little tiny 85 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: pill that was like meth. It kept you up for 86 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: hours and hours and hours. Everybody was using him back then. 87 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: I asked Liz about Tim's upbringing to gleam insight into 88 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: his life and how he wound up an Oregon. Aside 89 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: from drug use, violent crime seemed to be part of 90 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: his family legacy. 91 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: He did have his mom and dad, six brothers and sisters. 92 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: His dad worked two jobs to support the family. The 93 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: mother had a boyfriend all the time on the side, 94 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: which disgusted and angered Tim. 95 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 4: He didn't like it. 96 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 2: Of course, his mom got into some serious trouble in California, 97 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: and Tim didn't like that. They had to move to 98 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: Sale Organ for her protection. She was in the witness 99 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: protection program. Evidently she had delivered the money for the hit, 100 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: so she did some prison time for that. 101 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 4: That's why they came to Organ. 102 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: A few years into their violent and dysfunctional relationship, Liz 103 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: found herself pregnant. How did he react to that? 104 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 4: Oh, he was happy. He was fine with that. I 105 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: was in shock. Oh my god. 106 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted to eventually have another child with me. 107 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: Her shock stemmed from the fact she didn't think it 108 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: was possible in the first place. 109 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: He said, there's no way, shape or form he could 110 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: ever have children. 111 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: Never. Tim said he was sterile. 112 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 2: He was born with his intestines outside his stomach, and 113 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: he said that had messed up his system for life, 114 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: that he was test then there's no way he could 115 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: have children. So he was happy when when I got 116 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: pregnant and clearly Anthony is his because I. 117 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: Don't cheat on people, and Anthony looks a lot like. 118 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: His dad was natividad faithful, No way, no, heck no. 119 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 4: I learned later that he had a lot of girlfriends. 120 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: I didn't know that. 121 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: See I was at home taking care of the baby, 122 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: being a good girl while he was out selling drugs 123 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: or whatever he was doing. 124 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: I had no idea he had all the girlfriends. 125 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: After their son was born, Tim's behavior continued downward spiral. 126 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: Lizz's sister, Becky, was married to Vince Taylor, one of 127 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: Tim's childhood friends who he spoke to in a previous episode. 128 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: He was also a fellow member of the Kaiser Mafia, 129 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: the drug dealing gang based in a nearby suburb of Salem. 130 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 5: We lived right next door to each other.

We 138 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: lived in the same complex, and he wouldn't allow me 139 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: up there to visit her. He just kept my family 140 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: away from me. 141 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 7: It was just odd. 142 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: If he'd leave and I needed food in the house, 143 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: I would sneak to the store as fast as I could. 144 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 7: Got caught once. 145 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: I was pulling in and he pulled in at the 146 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: same time he was screaming at me, and it scared me. 147 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: So I grabbed Anthony and started running to forward my 148 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: sister's house.

They all said, 173 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: if you can leave the state, So Evince and Becky said, 174 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: let's go, Let's get the heck out of here. 175 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 7: And where did you know? 176 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: We went to Colorado, where we were scared to death 177 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: to be there, looking for work there, still afraid of Tim. 178 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: Everyone was supposed to be quiet and not tell Tim 179 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: where I was. Well, one of my friends said, Tim 180 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: went to my last place of employment and threatened her 181 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: with the gun out on the front porch and said tell. 182 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 7: Me where she's at, and she did so. 183 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Then my phone call was Tim's coming, He's coming to 184 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: get you. 185 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 7: We're so freaking scared. 186 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: I may giggle today and it's just out of nerves 187 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 2: and frustration. 188 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 7: It just nothing was working.

I mean, 191 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: it was getting really really scary and really bad. And 192 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: he said he had killed a man and watched him die. 193 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 2: Just all the drugs and guns and his behavior, it 194 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: was time for us to go. 195 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 7: We had to go. We were scared for our lives, 196 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 7: very very scared. 197 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: Scared for her life and trapped by her fear he'd 198 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: harm her family. Liz returned to Tim. The Tiodad's behavior 199 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: remained erratic, but it was after the time period of 200 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 3: the Frankie murder that things really hit a breaking point. 201 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: It was really super paranoid, angry, sad, mad, a lot 202 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: of crying and shaking and not letting me out of 203 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: his sight, not letting me have family, over keeping the 204 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: blinds shut and saying don't let anybody in, do not 205 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: answer the door, and if I'm here, I'm not here. 206 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: He wanted to move to Bend and buy house in 207 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: those two weeks. 208 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: He's telling me all this. 209 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: He wanted to go to Hawaii, so he had all 210 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: these big plans right away. 211 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 4: Oh my god. 212 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: He was packing in the guns. He was bringing guns 213 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: in the house, a lot of them, machine guns, pistols. 214 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: Jay Boutwell, a former detective for the Marion County Sheriff's Department, 215 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: remembers responding to a call during that time. 216 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 8: I was on the road in the enter radio car 217 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 8: and I was assigned to make contact on my beer's 218 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 8: apartment house I'd off of Lancaster, but it was ended 219 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 8: up being the girlfriend of Natividad, also known his Rooster 220 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 8: Street name. And I met her downstairs and she told 221 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 8: me that all four retires were slashed. And I'm looking 222 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 8: at this and I'm thinking, man, live, you know, that's 223 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 8: a pretty good knife to cut through sidewalls of four tires. 224 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 8: And there's no blood, so he didn't cut himself. That 225 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 8: kind of stuff. No evidence around the ground. It's just 226 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 8: like they walk up and step it in. So it's 227 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 8: like a one pope child. And then she tells me 228 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 8: the thing that threw me. She says, I think Natividad 229 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 8: did did what slash retired. That's who's told me, She said. 230 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 8: I think he did that, and she says, because we've 231 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 8: been fighting a lot. And then she goes on a 232 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 8: little further to tell me he's got a stolen forty 233 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 8: five automatic and apartments right now. And so I says, well, 234 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 8: they say, way I can get it. She says no, 235 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 8: because it would burn me and it would have he'd 236 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 8: probably killed her. So I backed off on it and 237 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 8: hope that maybe I could find something off the street 238 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 8: to maybe do a warrant to get in there and 239 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 8: take it. And that's before we knew about the two, 240 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 8: that I have anything to do with any any suspicions 241 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 8: of Frankie. In fact, I think it was even it 242 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 8: was just a few days after Frankie was murdered, if 243 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,359 Speaker 8: I'm correct. 244 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: By this point, Tim's abuse was physical, verbal, and extremely effective. 245 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: I felt worthless. Tim would tell Anthony, your mother's bitch, 246 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: Your mother is no good, your mother's going to heaven sue, 247 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: these types of things, he would say to myself, his son. 248 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: And when you have a violent drug addict in front 249 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: of you, telling you and showing you you believe it, 250 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: you believe it with every ounce of anything you happen 251 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: to you. 252 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: Things deteriorated to the point where Lizz's sister came to 253 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: check on her until Tim wasn't at home and decided 254 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 3: to take Anthony, fearing for his safety. 255 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: And I opened the door, I saw it was her, 256 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: and I let her in as she saw the drugs 257 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: and the guns and the knives and the danger and 258 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: took Anthony from me as she said, You're not getting 259 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: him back, no way. 260 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 7: And I understood. I understood it. 261 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 3: But Tim did not and responded about as well as 262 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: you might expect. 263 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: So she had him for two weeks, and I was 264 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: getting a lot of pressure from Tim too. He needed 265 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: to have a son who's going to kill me, take 266 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: Anthony to California and hide him underground. Nobody would ever 267 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: find him again. And he said, and if he had to, 268 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: he would kill my sister Karen and her husband to 269 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: go get Anthony. 270 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 4: You know, I did give in. 271 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: I could tell that my soul was just like, oh, 272 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: I want to be done forever. I couldn't do it anymore. 273 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: But I got a burst of energy and wanted to 274 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: protect my family. So I ran and grabbed the gun 275 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: off the bed and was headed out the door, headed 276 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: out my front door, which had a bunch of locks, 277 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: on it, and I couldn't get it unlocked. 278 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 7: I was terrified. 279 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: I knew he was going to kill me and grab 280 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: that damn gun. 281 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: The incessant violence, the abuse and threats against her family 282 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: and her son finally pushed Liz over the edge. 283 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: And when I heard him come up behind me, I turned. 284 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: We said, Liz, but I'll tell you I snapped. It 285 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: was so weird because I didn't care anymore. 286 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 7: I was ready. 287 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: I told God, you know, I'm ready. He's going to 288 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: kill me. I'm ready, you know, just please please please 289 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: let my sister care and be the best mom to Anthony. 290 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: You know, I was saying my prayers and I felt dead. 291 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: I just felt like so hollow, worthless. It's over over, 292 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: And I couldn't tell you what snapped. How I snapped. 293 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. I remember picturing how he was 294 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: going to shoot everybody at my sister's and then take 295 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: my little guy, who's going to be scared to death 296 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: on a shootout. He said he would kill any cop 297 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: that follows him to California. 298 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 7: It was ohill, no, and so I turned to. 299 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: Just shot at a bunch And I can't believe it, 300 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 2: To be honest with you. I can't believe it happened. 301 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: I can't believe I didn't die. I actually shot. 302 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: Him in two weeks after Michael Frankie's murder, Tim Natividad 303 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: was dead. At Lizz's trial, her attorney submitted multiple records 304 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 3: of domestic abuse into evidence, and several of the cops 305 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: who arrested Tim during those disturbances showed up to testify. 306 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: Also on the stand was Lizzi's neighbor, who heard the 307 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 3: sounds of Tim's violent and abusive behavior firsthand. 308 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: Oh, my neighbor next door to us. I never met 309 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: her in my life. Listened to it all night and 310 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: all morning. 311 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 7: So she was there, which was a shock to me. 312 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: I had no idea. 313 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: She was on the stand and said I heard him 314 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: clearly beat her that night and tell her he was 315 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: going to kill her and kill her family. I heard 316 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: the gunshots. I heard it all. 317 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: Before the trial. Liz spent three months in jail, but 318 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: compared to the hell she'd been trapped in, it was 319 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 3: almost an escape. 320 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: Ultimately, I was acquitted. Thank god, it just all came together. 321 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: I talked to her myself. I looked at the jury 322 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 2: and I said, you know, my attorney's going to help 323 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 2: tell the story. This is how I lived, This is 324 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: my proof, the restraining orders, the police officers, my friends 325 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: and family, women, chrisis center. I mean, I did everything 326 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 2: I could. Thank god I was acquitted. Oh my God, 327 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: thank God. 328 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 4: I remember that day. 329 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: I was so free. But I did still cry for 330 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 2: a year because Tim had to die. Over all this, 331 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: I cried for a year. Although I had my son 332 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: and I wanted to be stable, and I tried to 333 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 2: be strong and stable for him. I had to get 334 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: it out of my system. And I went to my 335 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 2: priest and confessed that I shot and killed Tim to 336 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: save my life, and he said that God forgives me, 337 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: so that felt really good. I ran into several of 338 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 2: Tim's family members after this, and they hugged me tight 339 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: and told me that they understood Timmy had some anger 340 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: issues and drug problems, so they didn't hate me. 341 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: But after Tim's death, pieces that connected his timeline to 342 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 3: Frankie's killing began to fall into place for Liz, starting 343 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 3: with a large sum of money he'd supposedly come into 344 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 3: soon after Frankie's murder, which meshes with an earlier story 345 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: from Greg Johnson that Natividad had received a payoff after 346 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: Frankie's death. 347 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 7: He didn't tell me where the money came from, but 348 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 7: he did come into money. 349 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: We later found out that he hit it in the 350 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: fan of the bathroom the apartment where Tim died. There 351 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: was a story that Tim's brother got forty thousand dollars 352 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: out of the bathroom bent of Tim's money. 353 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 7: And I didn't. 354 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: Know if it was a rumor that incident would have 355 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: happened while Liz was in prison awaiting trial. 356 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 7: I didn't know. 357 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: And my sister Karen is the one that cleaned my 358 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: apartment out when I went to jail, and Karen goes 359 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: it's so weirdless. The apartment manager came in and was 360 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: yelling at me for taking apart the bathroom bent, and 361 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 2: I said, I didn't do it. 362 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 7: You know, you leave me alone. I'm not taking the 363 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 7: apartment apart. I'm getting Lizzi's things out of here. I'm like, 364 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 7: oh my god. 365 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: That large sum, along with tim taunts about having killed 366 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 3: a man, continued to haunt Liz. 367 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 2: We really wanted to figure out who Tim killed. He 368 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: said he had killed someone. I believe it was at 369 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: my attorney's office. When we realized there were two people 370 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 2: that had died, and Michael Frankie was one of them. 371 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: I remember vaguely seeing it on the news, a whole bunch, 372 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: you know, the higher up was murdered, and you see 373 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: the police tape. 374 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 7: You know. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention 375 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 7: to it. 376 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: But then something happened that did catch Liz's attention, the 377 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 3: release of the sketch known as the Man in the 378 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: Pinstripe Suit, and. 379 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: Then the composite drawing that came out in the newspaper 380 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: and on the news. To me and my sister Karen, 381 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: it looked like Tim. We were shocked and said, oh 382 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: my god, it looks like Tim. 383 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, as we've touched upon earlier, that sketch barely 384 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: made it into the paper. 385 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 7: Well. 386 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 9: I was calling around trying to get the picture that 387 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 9: I heard the state police were circulating among corrections employees 388 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 9: trying to figure out who this man in the pinstripe 389 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 9: suit was. You know, why wouldn't they release it to 390 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 9: the press if it was of interest to the state police, 391 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 9: wouldn't release it? I called Dale Penn and he refused too. 392 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 9: He said no. I said why, and he said, because 393 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 9: it's not any good this is not very good. 394 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: Did he elaborate on what he meant by not good? 395 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 9: No, not to me. I personally didn't care whether it 396 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 9: was good or bad. I wanted to get it, so 397 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 9: I kept calling and finally got a copy from Binda. 398 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: When you first saw that sketch, what were your thoughts? 399 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 9: I said, Wow, what a great drawing. It was really good, 400 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 9: and in fact it had been done by Joyce Boylan, 401 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 9: who was one of the top three police artists in 402 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 9: the country. It was an excellent sketch. 403 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 3: Kevin was back in Florida trying to pursue his brother's 404 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: case with long distance phone calls, which in those days 405 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: meant racking up thousands of dollars in phone bills. He'd 406 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: been told by Governor gold Schmidt to direct his questions 407 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: to Dale Penn, the district attorney assigned to Michael's case, 408 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: but Penn and Kevin didn't exactly get along. 409 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 10: He was a sniveling mealy mouth, wouldn't answer a question 410 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 10: directly when I say meely Mouth. And the first meeting 411 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 10: that we had was with my brother Binta and the 412 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 10: governor at the Governor's reception office outside of his official office, 413 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 10: and I was requesting a copy of the autopsy report, 414 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 10: and I addressed that request to Goldschmidt and he said 415 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 10: he's the Manda ask pointing to Dale Penn, and Dale 416 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 10: peg goes on this meetly mouth yeah, And I said, 417 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 10: is that a no? And then he couldn't even say no. 418 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: No. 419 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: Kevin felt he was fighting an uphill battle with Penn 420 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: from the beginning, especially over getting Mike's autopsy. 421 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 10: He finally agreed to give me a copy of the 422 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 10: autopsic report and he sent it to me in Florida, 423 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 10: and it was four pages that was probably eighty percent 424 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 10: blacked out, redacted, and it basically said Mike Frankie described 425 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 10: him and that he died stab wound, everything else blacked out. 426 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 10: It wasn't just a middle finger, it was a smirking 427 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 10: while at KICKI had the ribs. Here you go, sucker. 428 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 10: I guess you know his thinking is I'm thirty two 429 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 10: hundred miles away. What am I going to do? 430 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: But Kevin and his older brother Pat refused to settle 431 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: for the redacted report. They wouldn't settle for anything less 432 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: than the comp eat autopsy, even if they had to 433 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: fight for it. Here's Phil. 434 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 9: So they hired a lawyer in Salem, Steve Krassik, who's 435 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 9: been with them all this time, to sue state officials 436 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 9: to get an unredacted copy of the autopsy, which under law, they. 437 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 3: Were entitled to back to Kevin. 438 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 10: We did finally get a full copy of the autopsit report, 439 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 10: but it was through having to sue the State of 440 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 10: Oregon and all the individuals involved, including Dale Penn and 441 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 10: the Governor Goldschmidt, and we had pointed them to bring 442 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 10: them into court to justify withholding the autopsy report when 443 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 10: it's in the Oregon state law it's called the Brady Bill, 444 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 10: that the members of family are entitled to a full 445 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 10: copy of the autopsy report and any other medical information. 446 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 10: To have the district attorney and the head of the 447 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 10: state eight both denying what's written into the law of 448 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 10: the State of Oregon, into the constitution, and to have 449 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 10: them flaunt that, just the arrogance of those fucking bastards 450 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 10: is what grips me to this day. How could they 451 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 10: how dare they flaunting their authority? 452 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: Kevin recalls the day they finally received the report, we. 453 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 10: Were at Steve Crassock's office three point forty one State Street, 454 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 10: downtown sale Morgan just a few blocks from the courthouse, 455 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 10: and Steve had picked him up. I guess from Dale 456 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 10: Penn's office and brought it back to the office where 457 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 10: Pat and I were waiting, had flown in for the occasion. 458 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 3: Here's Pat's take on getting the unredacted version. 459 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 6: A year almost to the day, I was up here 460 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 6: and I got the full copy of the autopsy report. 461 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 6: I took that to New York and set with doctor 462 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 6: Michael Boden, who became famous years later with the OJ 463 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 6: Simpson case, and he read the thing. He got his 464 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 6: calculator out, and he told me that Mike probably didn't 465 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 6: love more than about six minutes. That he was fully 466 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 6: conscious for about two minutes and then was losing consciousness 467 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 6: after two minutes because of the severity the wound of nature, 468 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,239 Speaker 6: the wound that he would not have survived even if 469 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 6: he'd been in a hospital. That it was threw and 470 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 6: through and it just destroyed the whole part of his heart. 471 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: During the time the family was fighting for the autopsy, 472 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: they were also getting numerous twisted and anonymous tips claiming 473 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: that Mike had been mutilated or murdered by ritualistic torture. 474 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 10: It was months before they finally confirmed that there had 475 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 10: been no ritual type. It was purely defensive wounds and 476 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 10: attack wounds and the weather signs of mutilation. But it 477 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 10: took what shit six months to get that. So you're 478 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 10: living with these movies in your mind, atrocious, the feed 479 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 10: fire that you don't want lit in the first place. 480 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 10: So that was the first thing that I wanted out 481 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 10: of the whole thing, was to verify that Dale Penn's 482 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 10: tell me the truth when he says there's no mutilation, 483 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 10: because Dale Penn had a tendency to lie, and then 484 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 10: to be able to identify the nature, number and location 485 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 10: of the wounds, and how the entry wounds were made, 486 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 10: what sort of an angle, and in part of the 487 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 10: autopsy reported there isn't mention of what you see when 488 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 10: you see the autopsy photos. And there's obviously a picture 489 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 10: that shows that Mike was in a fight. He got 490 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 10: a pretty good whack in the head. The photos were 491 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 10: the worst because I knew Mike's brains sitting there running 492 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 10: it a million miles an hour as he's bleeding out 493 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 10: and knowing he's thinking of his family. That's it. 494 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: Sharing the unredacted autopsy and photos of Mike with their 495 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: parents was heartbreaking for the brothers. 496 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 10: I've never seen two people in more pain in my life, hurt, 497 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 10: I've worried about my kids. That scares me. If I 498 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 10: ever had to go through that, I'd probably put a 499 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 10: bullet in my head. 500 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 3: And then adding the insult that they were only shared 501 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: with Mike's family under duress and with a threat. 502 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 9: When they were given this unredacted copy, they were warned 503 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 9: not to let it leak. If it leaked, they would 504 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 9: be prosecuted. That was the atmosphere at the time. 505 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: That's incredible. 506 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 9: Takes the autopsy back to Kansas City and shows it 507 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 9: to the Old Man and they look at it. They 508 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 9: have questions since Dale Penn had assured them that they'd 509 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 9: run it by the FBI. The Old Man called someone 510 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 9: he knew, Clarence Kelly, former director of the FBI, who 511 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 9: had also been chief of police in Kansas City, and 512 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 9: asked him about it. And Kelly came back and said, no, 513 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 9: they never talked to us. And that's when the old 514 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 9: Man's world sort of fell apart. He said, they've been 515 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 9: lying to us. They've been lying to us. It was 516 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 9: as if they had not only killed his son, but 517 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 9: they'd sort of killed his faith and how things work, 518 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 9: how the world works, and he was crushed. 519 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: So Dale Penn told Michael Frankie's father that he had 520 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: run the autopsy past the FBI and that never happened. 521 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 9: That's what he found out. 522 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, he apologize to me, He said, Dale Penn's been 523 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 10: lying into me. He's been lying to us, and it 524 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 10: crushed my dad. That was a professional, he's the greatest generation, 525 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 10: thirty years in the army, Colonel full Bird, Colonel. He's 526 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 10: a man that put his trust in God and country 527 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 10: and could not believe. And I think he felt that 528 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 10: I was being disrespectful when I was questioning the authority. 529 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 10: He was sad that I was right. 530 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: Let's go back to revisit the resistance to releasing the 531 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 3: sketch of the man in the pinstripe suit, which now 532 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: in light of the autopsy and FBI issue, seems more noteworthy. 533 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 3: Why do you think you were met with resistance? 534 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 9: That's another big puzzle here. But it's such a strange 535 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 9: place for them to lie. I mean, sometimes you have 536 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 9: to figure out what's going on by the lies they tell. 537 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 9: And that was definitely a lie on Pen's part. 538 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: It's almost as if they were afraid that someone would 539 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: see that sketch and recognize the person. 540 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's about the only thing you can conclude. 541 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 3: Kevin agrees that I bitched. 542 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 10: At him about not releasing the picture. I said, why 543 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 10: won't you release it? He says, well, it looks it 544 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 10: just looks like a lot of people. No, that's the problem. 545 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 10: That was the problem when it came out. I looked 546 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 10: at it and no, it doesn't look like a lot 547 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 10: of people. That it certainly eliminates a lot of people. 548 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 10: And the picture of the rain and Phil's column was horrible. 549 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 10: It was like a one inch by two inch facts 550 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 10: from thirty years ago, which you know, was like doing 551 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 10: little pencil dots and the thing. So everybody that saw 552 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 10: the column says, that looks like shit. But they were 553 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 10: forced then to put out the real one, and once 554 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 10: people well you've seen the real one. It looks like 555 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 10: a photograph. 556 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 3: And that's when Liz and her sister saw the drawing 557 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 3: of the man in the pin stripe suit. 558 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: I thought it looked like Tim Natividad. It did to 559 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: me and my sister immediately. 560 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 3: Immediately, the woman who had lived with natividad believed he 561 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 3: was the man in the pinstripe suit, and. 562 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: He dress is really nice. Sometimes he loved to dress 563 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: really nice. It was coming together for me. It just 564 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: started coming together. Okay, Tim's claiming to have a lot 565 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: of money. You know, he became so paranoid and violent 566 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: and you know, worse than ever before. 567 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 7: Started connecting dots for myself. 568 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 3: So Liz went to the police. 569 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 2: It's hard to remember exactly, but I do recall frustration 570 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 2: because I said, you, guys, I think Tim killed Michael Franken. 571 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 2: Look into it. Tim always carried a knife. Tim had 572 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: a huge knife collection. Tim was violent. Tim told me 573 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: he killed somebody, and I think it's Michael. 574 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 7: Look at this composite drawing. 575 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 3: And how did the police react to this bombshell? 576 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 2: They laughed and said, you can't convict a dead man. 577 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 2: There's nothing we can do here. 578 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 3: That seems a pretty odd response from the police, particularly 579 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 3: since it could have led to the truth. Here's Pat's take. 580 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 6: No longer the light was on it, the more chance 581 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 6: was that the whole thing was going to blow up 582 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 6: in her face. So let's put it away, quiet it down, 583 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 6: make it go away. 584 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 3: And the easiest way to end the investigation into Michael 585 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 3: Frankie's murder and make the whole thing go away, find 586 00:34:48,320 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 3: someone to pin the murder on a patsy. On the 587 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 3: next murder in Oregon, an unlikely suspect is arrested. 588 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 10: There's so many other folks that are probably it, it 589 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 10: just didn't make. 590 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 3: Sense, and charged with the murder of Michael Frankie. 591 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: Mike Kieran's, a convict from the Idaho State Penitentiary, claims 592 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: Frank Gable told him he killed Frankie during a car. 593 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: Burglary, blind siding everyone, including Frank Gable. 594 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 9: I walked into a complicated drug ring and really don't 595 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 9: know how complicated it was until now. 596 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: Murder in Oregon is hosted by Lauren Bright Pacheco and 597 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: Phil Stanford.
