1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Nancy Grace here, Welcome back to Killers amongst Us, 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: a production of iHeartMedia and Crime Online. Eight months pregnant, 3 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: Melinda Temple found dead in her own bedroom closet, the 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: door to the home open, and light of the fact 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: police can't find the murder weapon, they circle back to 6 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: David Temple. Temple's sex relationship with a fellow teacher, Heather, 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: has been unearthed. There's still the issue of the video. 8 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace and this is Killers amongst Us. On Monday, 9 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: January eleventh, just like every day, Evan was in daycare 10 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: while his parents were at work, but he was sent 11 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: home early that day with a fever. David came home 12 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: to watch him. You mean he took a bath, Mattris, 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: temperature is good, and we just played and waited from 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: home to get home. When Belinda returned around four o'clock, 15 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: David says, she went upstairs to rest, and that's when 16 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: he took Evan out to play. We went to the 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: park in our neighborhood, which we spent a lot of time. 18 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 1: He enjoyed being ale, so that's where we went first. 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: After that, he says, they made their trip to the 20 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: grocery store and then to the home depot, never imagining 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: what awaited them at home. When they got back, Temple 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: says he saw the broken back door, dropped Evan off 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: at the neighbors, then ran up the stairs and found 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: Belinda's body sprawled on the floor of the bedroom closet. 25 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Our friend Richard Schlessinger at forty eight hours to Catherine Casey, 26 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: author of Shattered on Amazon, was their video surveillance of 27 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: David Temple with his son Evan at the park, the 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: grocery store or the home depot? There was There was 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: video of him coming in with even they stopped and 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: Evan rode a little mechanical horse out in front of 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: the Berkshire Brothers grocery store, and then there was a 32 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: video later that afternoon of him going to the home depose. 33 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: So there's surveillance video of home depot and what was 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: the name of the grocery store, Berkshire Brothers. I remember 35 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: those little horses that you'd drop in a quarter or 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: nicole and you'd ride around and around and around. What 37 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: about the part where Temple says he took his son, 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Was there any video surveillance there or did anyone place 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: him there. You know, the park was a problem. The 40 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: police officers went to the park for days afterward and 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: tried to find someone anyone who saw David and Evan 42 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: there that afternoon. They were never able to find anybody 43 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: who saw them. David actually changed which park he had 44 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: gone to be originally said it was one park, and 45 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: then he changed it to another, so that part of 46 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: the alibi was never able to be substant to Stephen Lampley, 47 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: detective and author of Outside Your Door, I could see 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: a parent confusing the name of a park. Could you 49 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: as you know which park could go to? You know, 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: most people have a favorite park. He, in my opinion, 51 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: he knew exactly which park he went to. Know why 52 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: he changed, I don't know, But I believe fully that 53 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: he knew exactly which park. He wouldn't Well, what I'm 54 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: trying to say is, yes, I wouldn't imagine he knows 55 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: which park he went to. I mean, he's been living 56 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: there for years and years and years. This is his hometown. 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: But I could also see him just rattling off the 58 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: wrong name. Do I totally buy it? No? But since 59 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: there's video surveillance of him at the home depot and 60 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: the Brookshire Brothers grocery store. Why would he be lying 61 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: about the park? Listen to this. David maintains he has 62 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: an airtight alibi, having been seen on surveillance videos at 63 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: local stores that afternoon, but investigators start to believe he 64 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: might have had the opportunity to commit the murder before 65 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: he left the house. At first glance, the detectives thought 66 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: that David Temple had a potential alibi because there is 67 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: a videotape showing David Temple in the store, so you 68 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: would think, oh, wow, he really was running the errands 69 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: that he said he was. But when you break it down, 70 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: he's got plenty of time before he leaves the house 71 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: that day to murder Belenda, and more evidence, including the 72 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: behavior of the Temple's dog, Shaka, begins to pile up. 73 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: One of the strongest pieces of evidence we had was Shaka. Everybody, friend, neighbor, cop, 74 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: anybody that knew anything about David and Belenda agreed on 75 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: how ferocious and fears and protected that dog was. It 76 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: was odd that anyone could get past the dog without 77 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: someone recognizing it or coming over to see what the 78 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: problem was. Shaka would not have allowed a stranger into 79 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: that yard. He was very protective. If the police couldn't 80 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: get past that dog. Howard a burglar to Brandy Keon 81 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Seni with the Katy Times, the owner of the Katy Times. 82 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: It's tough if your strongest evidence is behavior of a dog. 83 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: I mean, the purp could be somebody the dog knew before. 84 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: It could be somebody in the neighborhood. It could be 85 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: the bug guy, the delivery guy, the yard guy, anybody 86 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: that the dog may have known. That's a tough sell, 87 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: it is. However, Shaka was consistent in being extremely protective 88 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: of the family. And really the only people that the 89 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: dog healed you were David and Belinda, So even the 90 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: neighbors said that the husband when he when he went 91 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: over there, Shaka was very aggressive towards him and would 92 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: take a while to When Belinda and David would go 93 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: out of town and he would go feed Shaka, he 94 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: would have to stand outside the gate and wait and 95 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: talk to the dog, and it would take quite a 96 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: bit of time for Shaka to calm down enough to 97 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: allow him to come into the yard to feed, you know, 98 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: to put feed out. And it just doesn't seem logical 99 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: that even if it was someone that Shaka knew that 100 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: the dog would calm down quickly enough before Belinda would 101 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: have noticed that Shaka was marking and creating a stir 102 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: in the backyard. Catherine Casey, though, let's follow this through 103 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: to its logical conclusion. Does that mean that Belinda Temple 104 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: came home. We know she was at school. I guess 105 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: till around three this she comes home, that David Temple 106 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: comes home and shoots her dad while Evan is in 107 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the home. Would that be a working theory. Well, Evan 108 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: had been sick and was on medication, and when he 109 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: left daycare that day, Belinda carried him out, and he 110 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: was so tired he never woke up. So if the 111 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: thought is that he was probably in his in his 112 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: bedroom asleep at the time that all of this happened. 113 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: The closet was kind of a perfect area to muffle 114 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: the sound because of all the clothes around it. There 115 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: was a lot of talk about how with the door 116 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: closed and the shot might not even have been heard 117 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: outside of the house. So the thought is that David 118 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: was there that afternoon. Belinda arrived home around something he 119 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: said in his original statement at three forty five that 120 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: afternoon from school, she walked into the house and an 121 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: argument ensued. David was angry. He'd been angry that afternoon 122 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: when he left school. You know, Belinda was angry at David. 123 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: Tensions were high in that house. My thought is that 124 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: he met her at the back door with the shotgun 125 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: and that he'd been waiting for and that he walked 126 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: her upstairs and walked her to the closet and executed 127 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: her in the closet. He was done. David Temple had 128 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: a history with women in college. He had had a 129 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: girlfriend and they'd been very serious, and he was constantly 130 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: pludging his affection and love for her. As soon as 131 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: he met Belinda, he dropped the other girl and wanted 132 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: her gone. He wanted Belinda gone in this case because 133 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: he now had Heather. But it wasn't as easy with 134 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: Belinda because they had Evan. She was pregnant with his 135 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: little girl. It was a more complicated situation. To Joseph 136 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, why yeah, Joe Scott, Yeah, 137 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you, Nancy, we're talking. We're 138 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: talking about dogs, We're talking about video cameras and everything else. 139 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: I think that one of the most important things here 140 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: is what did they find relative to the body. You know, 141 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: as a former medical legal death investigator in Atlanta and 142 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, one of the first things that we 143 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: do at the scene is to try to determine what's 144 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: referred to as postmortal interval. I'd really like to know 145 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: what the authorities did at the scene as far as 146 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: exam the remains, to judge the level of roger mortis, 147 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: postmortem labidity, the settling of the blood, and alga mortis, 148 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: which is actually the body temperature. I'd like to know 149 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: what the status was when the authorities first arrived and 150 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: they made their initial assessment of the body. One of 151 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: the interesting things about Texas is that Texas doesn't have corners. 152 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: They're heavily relying on the justice of the peace. I 153 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: think in Houston they have a medical examiner, but I 154 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: don't know that any representative of a medical legal authority 155 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: actually went to the scene to examine the body. So 156 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: this is going to be key because if we can 157 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: determine these changes that have happened after death relative to 158 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the body, that's going to narrow down the timeline a lot. 159 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: And here we're relying on signs we're not relying on 160 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: Doctor Doolittle movies, as you had mentioned earlier, and I'd 161 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: really like to know what those figures were. While certain 162 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: members of the police force are looking at David Temple, 163 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: they backtracked to a neighbor student, not Riley Joe Sanders, 164 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: but a student named Mark. An autopsy has conducted on 165 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: Belinda's body. It reveals that she was shot at point 166 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: blank range in the back of the head with a 167 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: twelve gage shotgun, but the weapon cannot be found. However, 168 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: there is someone nearby who has access to a twelve 169 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: gage shotgun. Belinda's troubled teenage student Mark could he be 170 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: a killer? He had been involved with a group of 171 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: kids who had been involved in a house robbery and 172 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: one of the things that was stolen was a twelve 173 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: gage shotgun. Police bring Mark in for question. There were 174 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: good reasons why police were looking at the teenager next 175 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: door as a suspect. One of them was that he 176 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: wasn't where he said he was that afternoon. He told 177 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: police initially that he was at school, but the truth 178 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: was that he cut his classes and left early. Another 179 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: thing was that he repeatedly failed polygraphs that he agreed 180 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: to take. As detectives dig deeper, they struggled to find 181 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: hard evidence to link Marked to the murder. It turned out, however, 182 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: when they took a closer look at the kid next door, 183 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: that he didn't have a motive for doing this. He 184 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: had never appeared angry at Belinda. There was no forensic 185 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: evidence found that showed him he had been ever in 186 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: the Temple household, and there were others who substantiated his 187 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: alibi for the day without a clear motive, and this 188 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: alibi holding up police cross mark off their suspect list. 189 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: So you were hearing our friends at Scorn and that 190 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: was the voice of Katherine Casey who was with us 191 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: right now, author of Shattered with Riley. Joe Sanders out 192 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: as a suspect as well as his friends. Police start 193 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: testing the evidence. What did they do, Katherine Casey, Well, 194 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: they started looking at David's alibi and trying to put 195 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: it together. They did things like timing the drive from 196 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: the Temple house to the park. They tried to find 197 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: someone who could place David at the park and Evan, 198 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: but they were never able to do that. They time 199 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: to drive to Brookshire Brothers. They time to drive to 200 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: home depot. They time to drive back and they canvassed 201 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: the neighborhood and tried to find people who saw David 202 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: that day or who had heard anything, and some people 203 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: started coming forward. There were people who there was one 204 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: man named Bendaman who said that he saw David that afternoon, 205 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: a little after five. I believe it was and that 206 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: David was in his that he had evident in the 207 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: car with him, and that he was in a place 208 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: where he shouldn't have been. It wasn't on the road 209 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: to Brookshire, Brothers. It wasn't on the road to home depot. 210 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: It was near David's parents' house. Oh, because too, Joe 211 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Scott Morgan. That's two inconsistencies. Now, I was willing to 212 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: let the confusion about the name of the park. He 213 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,239 Speaker 1: was at slide, okay, But now he's somewhere he conveniently 214 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: leaves out of his alibi. He's somewhere completely different. Now 215 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: could he have just driven by his parents house? Sometimes 216 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: I take a sentimental route when I know in other 217 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: route's faster. But that's not what happened here according to police. No, 218 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: And you know that's that's that's striking Nancy when you 219 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: begin to think about this. This is mister everything in 220 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: this town. I mean, he is known foreign wide, his 221 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: great athletic exploits, he's the teacher, or he's the friend, 222 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: he's everything else. But yet he can't remember basic geography. 223 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: He can't remember these ideas or constructs about where he 224 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: actually lives and spends his time. For me as an investigator, 225 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that Stephen would probably agree with me 226 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: on this, I'm going to have real our time with 227 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: this if I'm pressing the sky for information and he 228 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: is starting to hit upon all of these inconsistencies. It's 229 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: not like he's in a foreign country. Is well. So far, 230 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: I've only got two inconsistencies. But I look at the 231 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: evidence in a different way. I look at it as 232 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: if if I want to prove this case, do I 233 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: have evidence to make out a homicide prosecution? Two inconsistencies 234 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: not enough, But as you say, it can mount bottom Lyne. 235 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: This is where police are left and they're doubts that 236 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Blenda was killed by a burglar. Escalate. The condition of 237 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: the scene points to it being staged. One of the 238 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: most compelling pieces of evidence in this whole alleged burglary 239 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: explanation of David Temple's was the glass that came from 240 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: the back patio door. If the glass had been broken 241 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: by a burglar, police would have expected to find the 242 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: broken glass directly behind the door, but most of the 243 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: glass is off to an angle on one side of 244 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: the door. It doesn't add up. The common sense explanation 245 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: for that is that glass was broken when the door 246 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: was already opened in a jar, or why in the 247 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: world would a burglar do that? The robbery just didn't 248 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: look like a robbery. There was jewelry that was sitting 249 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: out in the open that would have been easily seen 250 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: and easy to take by a true burglar. There was 251 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: a late with David's watch and his gold championship ring 252 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: from college sitting out in the open. No one had 253 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: disturbed it. So why break into a house and shoot 254 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: an eight and a half month pregnant woman in the 255 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: back of the head, upstairs, in her closet, inside of 256 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: her master bedroom, going through the whole house, walk out 257 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: the back door, and not even take anything? Why do that? Yes? 258 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: Why with no sex attack on Belunda Temple, nothing stolen 259 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: from the home, nothing at all. What could be a 260 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: possible motive and then whatever the relationship was, it was 261 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: not a secret anymore. And David knew that put him 262 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: under suspicion. I knew there would always be a cloud 263 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: there from what had happened, and people would have dows. 264 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Three months after the crime, a grand jury was convened 265 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: and in the end indicted nobody, not Riley Joe Sanders, 266 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: the neighbor who police all but dismissed as a suspect, 267 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: Not David Temple, the man police believed committed the crime. 268 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: So how did you feel when you heard that they 269 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: decided not to indict you. You don't get any joy 270 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: from knowing that you didn't kill your wife. She's still gone. 271 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: With no hard evidence connecting anybody to this murder, the 272 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: case went cold, and David Temple got on with his life. 273 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: The case goes cold, Everyone seemingly gets on with their life. 274 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: Will there ever be justice from Belinda Temple, Nancy Grace Killers, 275 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: amongst us? Signing off goodbye friend,
