While investigators 83 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: initially claimed McCarthy's fingerprints matched the fugitives, further analysis quickly 84 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: proved they didn't, leading to her eventual release. Prosecutors later 85 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: admitted they hadn't even had an analyst available to verify 86 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: the prince when she was first arrested. The entire case 87 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: was dismissed in April of twenty twenty four after prosecutors 88 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: admitted they had insufficient evidence, relying only on flimsy Facebook 89 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: posts and aliases to pursue the original warrant represented by 90 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: the Institute for Justice.

While the Marshal's 94 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: Service acknowledge the mistake, they have offered no formal apology 95 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: for the egregious error. The Department of Justice's Inspector General 96 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: is now investigating the incident, spurred by demands from the 97 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee.

He pleaded not guilty, but also 121 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 5: told detectives quote I'm as guilty as guilty can be. 122 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 5: He later said, quote God will never forgive me. 123 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 6: No one should have to view someone doing such a 124 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 6: horrific event, and this juvenile witness could be the key 125 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 6: that brings this whole case to closure. 126 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 5: Waite's defense team filed a civil complaint accusing Alma and 127 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 5: her heir of elder abuse, fraud, and using threats to 128 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 5: force him out of the house. He claims Alma deceived 129 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 5: him into signing a deed that gave her sole ownership 130 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 5: of the home he had bought with his first wife 131 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety eight. The house had been in his 132 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 5: name until Alma filed paperwork in April of last year 133 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 5: to transfer it to her daughter. Court records show that 134 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 5: the house was listed for sale the day after the killings. 135 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 5: A judge has since halted the sale. Waight met Almah 136 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: in September of twenty twenty two through an online dating service. 137 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: Within weeks, she moved in. They married in March of 138 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: twenty twenty three without telling his children. Waite's lawyers say 139 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 5: Alma slowly cut him off from his family, blocked his 140 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 5: kids from communicating with his phone, and began pushing for 141 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 5: control of the house. The lawsuit claimed she told him 142 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 5: she needed to be added to the deed, but instead 143 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 5: he unknowingly signed over full ownership.

His lawyers now 150 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,119 Speaker 5: claim that both her sons were also involved in trafficking 151 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 5: and violent acts. The complaint says the family made threats 152 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 5: against Waite's life and that he feared leaving the house 153 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 5: because he believed they would steal from him.

He said that's when Almah 159 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 5: told him she had placed the home in her daughter's name. 160 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 5: When she turned to face him in the kitchen, he 161 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 5: shot her right there. Then he walked into the den 162 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 5: and fired at the others. At least one shot hit 163 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 5: Gloria Garcia, who was bedridden.
