Speaker 1: and Series eleven. First of all, take a listen to this.

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Bo and Jennifer's romance begins while they are both studying

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: engineering at the University of Lussouri, Columbia, in twenty fifteen.

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: They say I do and move to Saint Louis for work.

9
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Jennifer Rothwell is a chemical engineer at m Ecs Inc.

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: In Chesterfield. Bo Rothwell works at Ambateech now called Zachary

11
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Engineering in the Saint Louis area. Soon, the couple turns

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: their eyes on becoming parents, and just one year later,

13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: they get the good news a baby is on the way.

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like a dream come true, and it is.

15
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: It's what everyone wants, the American dream. A beautiful home,

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: a lovely family, a baby finally on the way, awesome

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: careers in front of them. And then somehow, in the

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: midst of all this happiness, she disappears. Her family, your parents,

19
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: her husband, devastated. Take a listen to Robert Townsend ks DK.

20
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I talked to Jennifer Rothwell's parents on the phone now.

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: They didn't want to go on camera. They're big concerned

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: is just hearing from their daughter. I'm gonna step back

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: and you can see right now. Saint Louis County Police

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: they are here sitting in two vehicles on Rothwell Street.

25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: They've blocked off this street and the background there where

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: that light is on at the porch. Officers are going

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: in and outside this house. We believe that they are

28
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: searching in and out of this house again. The family's

29
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: house here off North Winds Drive in West Saint Louis County.

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: That all unhappy has been happening in the last few minutes. Again, Officers, detectives,

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: they look to me going inside this house searching for

32
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: possible evidence. I believe in connection with this woman's disappearance. Again,

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: this is what I know. Jennifer Rothwell as twenty eight

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: years old and married. She's five foot six inches tall.

35
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: She has long, light brown hair, curly hair. She weighs

36
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifty pounds now. She was last

37
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: seen leaving her West Saint Louis County house yesterday morning

38
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and six weeks pregnant with me an all star panel.

39
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: But let me first go to Christie Missouri joining us

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: any award winning investigative reporter. Christie, thank you for being

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: with us. Now. This took place in kravre Missouri. Tell

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: me about that. It's a lovely, family oriented community. Neighbors

43
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: know everybody else, So for this woman to just vanish

44
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: in thin air without a trace was very unnerving to

45
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: her neighbors. It apartments. Are they single dwell their homes? Oh,

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: this is a yeah. It's a lovely little, lovely little suburbia.

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: It's utopia. What were their jobs, Christy Massar, Where did

48
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: they work? They were engineers, So these are learned people

49
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: making very good salaries, upper level income. Soyl these are

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: meticulous people. That's why when she went missing it was

51
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: so out of the ordinary because both of these people,

52
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: separately and as a couple, had every moment of their

53
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: day documented with a calendar. Oh my goodness. To doctor

54
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall joining me. High profile SLA analysts joining us

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: out of LA. She is the star of a new

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Netflix show, Bling Empire, and you can find her at

57
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall dot com, Doctor Bethany, the reason I'm

58
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: asking about the area is the first thing you want

59
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: to do is look at the area if it has

60
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: a high crime rate. To have there been a string

61
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: of break ins? I don't know if you remember, Jackie,

62
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: look this up for me. I recently covered a pastor's

63
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: wife who was pregnant, who was the victim of a

64
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: home invasion, and her other baby was home at the time.

65
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I think it was like a two year old son

66
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: was home. And of course all the suspicion went on

67
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the pastor, the young pastor, at first, because he had

68
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: been at the gym. And have you never noticed how

69
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: many husbands are at the gym suddenly when their wife

70
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: goes missing or fishing, like Scott Peterson, They're very rarely

71
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: at work where they punched the clock and everybody can

72
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: see them. So it led to suspicion on the pastor.

73
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, it came out that

74
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: there had been several burglaries in the neighborhood. Did you

75
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: find it, jack Amanda black Got said, that's right, Amanda Blackburn,

76
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Now I remember exactly. Amanda Blackburn, just beautiful like a

77
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: seer face, right, in front of me, and everyone was

78
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: questioning the pastor because of his early morning gym trip.

79
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: It turned out to be this group of burglars, and

80
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even get very much to get, like a

81
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: TV or a DVD player. They broke into her home

82
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: and I think the door was unlocked. Bethany as I recall,

83
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: and murtyred her, so she wouldn't be a witness. Awful.

84
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm saying what kind of an area

85
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: is at high crime low crime? But I also find

86
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: it interesting what Christy Missouri said that these two I'm

87
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: talking about Jennifer and husband Bow, they're about to have

88
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: their baby, young and love the whole thing. They're so meticulous.

89
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: It's very rare that you see in a low crime

90
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: area someone just go missing. Now, if she left the

91
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: area on her way to work or on her way

92
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: to the grocery store, that changes the whole scenario. But

93
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of people just vanish when

94
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: they're the kind of person that has day and date,

95
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, every hour accounted. Four. Nancy. This is a

96
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: beautiful young woman, a high level professional. She's an engineer.

97
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: She works in a business or in a company with

98
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: many other people. And one of the first things I

99
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: would wonder is had somebody fallen in love with her?

100
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: Was somebody obsessed with her? Did she have a stalker,

101
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: somebody who is making advances to her or wanting to

102
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: spend time with her. I think that's the first thing

103
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: I would look at. Who are her friendships, what's going

104
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: on in her computer? Who did she spend time with?

105
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: The second thing is this pregnant? What do you think

106
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: she's going out to bars? N weeks? Six weeks, that's

107
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: still pregnant. She's not shown You do know I threw

108
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: up every single day of my pregnancy, starting at a

109
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: bit some guy every day. I have news for you, Nancy,

110
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: some book to some guy who's stalking her, who has

111
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: a crush on her. It is not going to care

112
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: that she's throwing up every day. Okay, thank you for that, mule.

113
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: But you know what you said. You said something really interesting.

114
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Let me throw this to Matthew Mangino joining US high

115
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: profile criminal defense attorney out of Newcastle, Pennsylvania, former district

116
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: attorney and Lawrence County. And the reason I emphasize that

117
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: is you cannot be the district attorney or an assisted

118
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: district attorney without trying a lot of cases. He knows

119
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: his way around the courtroom. Former Parole board member, I

120
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: don't like that one bit. Parole author of the Executioner's Toll.

121
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: You can find them at matt Mangino dot com. Matthew

122
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: when she said, when doctor Bethany said, they're highly trained,

123
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: highly learned engineers, that is a very exact science. And

124
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: Bethany also said she works with a lot of people,

125
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: which is true for engineers. In my mind, I thought

126
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: she works with a lot of men. That's true. That's

127
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: a male dominated occupation, and when you work with a

128
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: lot of men, that heightens the likelihood that one of

129
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: them is going to get a crush on you. Well, yeah,

130
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: that's certainly a possibility, and that's something that I'm sure

131
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the police would consider immediately upon learning of her disappearance. Obviously,

132
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: we know from news accounts that they're searching the home,

133
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: which is the first place that they're going to look

134
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: when someone comes up missing, as you mentioned earlier, the preacher.

135
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, unfortunately, they're going to look to people who

136
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: have close contact with her. They're going to look to

137
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: the husband immediately, just to make sure that that there's

138
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: some basis for not looking further at him. They want

139
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: to eliminate the husband first thing, first of all, you know,

140
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: but they're but they're looking in the home, so we

141
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: know that there might be some information there that they're

142
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: interested in, and that's where they're going to find out

143
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: her every move. These two have been married for four years,

144
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: and she's last seen alive that morning, leaving for her

145
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: job as a chemical engineer, straight out to John Guard

146
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: joining US chief deputy with Pitt County Sheriff's Office in Greenville,

147
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: who specializes in cases just like this one. You know,

148
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Jennifer Rothwell, it strikes me how organized she was, with

149
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: every hour accounted for, Like when you look in your

150
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: iPhone at the calendar. She had it so meticulously arranged.

151
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: So it should have been easy for police to figure

152
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: out where she would have been at the time she

153
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: went missing, John Guard, because isn't all of that saved

154
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: in the cloud? Absolutely, Nancy, And that's one of the

155
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: first things you know, we're going to do in any

156
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: case that begins maybe as a missing person, So you're

157
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: gonna examine that digital footprint, and you know, there's a

158
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: lot of legs that go off that footprint connect to

159
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: other people and other information, and you're just going to

160
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: run that information down and see where it takes. It

161
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: sounds like the police did what we normally do in

162
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: cases like that, and I did a really really good job,

163
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: learning a lot in hindsight, as I'm sure the investigators

164
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: work in the case. I saw, you know firsthand, but

165
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot of planning, not only you know,

166
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: in her daily life and what Jennifer did, she certainly

167
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: lived by a calendar. So what I'm trying to say,

168
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall, and you know, for Pete's sake, people,

169
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm a JD, not a DDS. I how to pull

170
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: a tooth, but I'll try it one more time. Bethany,

171
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to declare you a hostile witness because you

172
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about. Yes, but I can't get

173
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: the answer out of you, so I'm now going to

174
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: have to cross examine you. I'm sorry, doctor Bethany. Isn't

175
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: it true that at no time has it ever been

176
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: alleged Jennifer Rothwell was let's just say, a drug addict. Yes, no,

177
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: it has not been alleged, so no, And isn't it

178
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: true She's never been suspected of being a prostitute or

179
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: an escort. True. Isn't it true? She worked regular hours,

180
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: she was very dependable and was never late to work. Yes, no, absolutely, yes. True.

181
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: So the point is that this was not a person

182
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: that is prone to high risk behavior. She's not out

183
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: on the corner hooking, she's not going into bad areas

184
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: trying to score a rock a crack. She's not into

185
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: anting the fairy's activity. She has a very regular schedule,

186
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: and she's six weeks pregnant and she's talking about it.

187
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: She's not trying to figure out how am I going

188
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: to get rid of this baby? Can I'm dropping off

189
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: at the fire station. She's coming at home and reading

190
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: what to expect when you're expecting. That's who we're talking about,

191
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany, and he lives in a nice neighborhood, you know,

192
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: in these types of niedborhood. I don't friend that. I

193
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: said that, and now you're saying it again, now that

194
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: I've declared your hostile witnesses. So long story short, the

195
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: fact that this woman just drops off the map, it's

196
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: very very uncommon. Not only that we think she even

197
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: took the same route back and forth to work every day.

198
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at crime online dot com.

199
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Jennifer Rothwell was last seen leaving her West Saint Louis

200
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: County home. Bo Rothwell says Jennifer left for work at

201
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: six twenty that morning. As Bo Rothwell begins getting ready

202
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: for his own day, Jennifer Rothwell calls four times, but

203
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Bo misses the calls. Rothwell texts his wife during the day,

204
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: but there's no replies. Rothwell reports Jennifer as missing. Over

205
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: the next few days, Bou, along with other family, friends

206
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: and co workers, begin to search the community, putting up

207
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: missing person signs and begging for information about Jennifer. Time

208
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace. Another thing I'm learning about Jennifer

209
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: is that she has never needed space. I have a

210
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of friends that go on girls weekends, as they call.

211
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: These are grown women, they're not little girls. They go

212
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: on girls weekends, and it sounds like a lot of fun.

213
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I want to be with the twins. I don't want

214
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: to leave the twins. But this woman never went out

215
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: with her friends. She didn't go away for weekends. She

216
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: didn't sulely announce I need space and disappear for a

217
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: day or two to get some air that's not her

218
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: and that is one of the things that have her

219
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: parents and her family so upset that this is out

220
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: of character. I mean, the car, as I recall, was

221
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: a Hundai Sonata, right Christy, Missourich, correct and a pretty

222
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: common car. So I'm just wondering if they had NAV

223
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: in that car, navigational tracking, which I love John Guard,

224
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Chief Deputy Pitt County Sheriff's Office nav systems in cars.

225
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: They're a huge benefit to police. But well, guess somebody

226
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: that may have a used car or an older car

227
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: no good. And this one is a twenty eleven Hundai Sonata. Yeah,

228
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's a little older and would not come

229
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: with the GPS. May have time. So the only thing

230
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I can think of right now, if they're really trying

231
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: to piece together where her car went, is the case

232
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: missing Connecticut Mama pied Jennifer Dulos, her husband. No doubt

233
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: in my mind, Fotus Dulos was having an affair with

234
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: the girlfriend with Shelterconis, and I have no doubt in

235
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: my mind that he murdered her. She's not missing, she's dead.

236
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: But what police did in an effort to find her.

237
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: They got every ring, door rebel, every business, every resident,

238
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: surveillance video, red light cam, stop cam, bridge cam told

239
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: him everything. They even got a camera. This is amazing.

240
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: When a public bus opened its doors, the camera caught

241
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: the husband going by in the vehicle. Then hip course

242
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: takes the murder car to the car wash to have

243
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: the car detailed. Even changing out the backseats didn't really

244
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: help because his wife's blood and hair was found on

245
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: the seats. Long story short, We can work wonders with

246
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: surveillance video, but not with the nav system in this car.

247
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: But speaking of the car, suddenly we get a break

248
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: in the case and the search for Jennifer Rothwell. Take

249
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: a listen to our friends at crime Alone. Jennifer Rothwell's

250
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: car is found the same day she has reported missing,

251
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: all over a mile from her home. Around nine thirty

252
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: the twenty eleven Honday, Sonata is found on the side

253
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: of a busy intersection. It did not appear to have

254
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: been in a crash and was otherwise drivable, so the

255
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: police tagged the vehicle as abandoned. After the owner was identified,

256
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Jennifer's phone was found inside. Okay, she didn't make it

257
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: very far? Did she just about a mile from her home?

258
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: About nine thirty am, her sonatas found on the side

259
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: of a busy intersection. It had not been in a crash,

260
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: It was not on empty, It did not have a

261
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: flat tire. What does that mean? Let me go out

262
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: to you, Matthew Mengino. Was she forced off the road?

263
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: There's not a mark on her car. Why did she

264
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: pull over? Did she suddenly get sick? She nauseous from

265
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: being pregnant? I mean, what is that telling you? The

266
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: cars found about a mile away? Well, that's really a concern,

267
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: and I think that it changes the focus of the investigation.

268
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: At first, you're thinking about a person who is missing.

269
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's some reason she went someplace, and you're

270
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out as quickly as you can.

271
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: But now you find your car alongside the road. That

272
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: changes the dynamics of this investigation. Now it appears that

273
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: something sinister may have happened here. And again this is

274
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: where I think you begin to grab videotape that you

275
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: can from neighboring businesses. You said it was a busy intersection.

276
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: You start looking at all those possibilities of gaining additional information.

277
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: But I think that finding this car a mile away

278
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: without any damage or it's not incapacitated in some way,

279
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: but it does point to something nefarious. Nancy, Nancy, do

280
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: you remember that can go to you? Go ahead, doctor Bethany.

281
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Remember the case we covered years ago where there was

282
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: a call student coming home late at night from a

283
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: party at her college and the car was found on

284
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: the side of the road and they found connect her veilance. Yes,

285
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: that a group of boys had forced her off the

286
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: road just before she was going over a bridge, and

287
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: that was the only clue they had. I mean, I'm

288
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: not saying that's the same in this case, but when

289
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: a single woman's car is found on the side of

290
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: the road, I sometimes wonder, I mean, have you ever

291
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: had somebody scary follow you in your car? I have

292
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: a number of times in mind, and it's very frightening.

293
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: You try to find the nearest police station, you try

294
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: to stumble for your cell phone. But I would wonder,

295
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: you know, if there's any surveillance, any footage that shows

296
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: that there was somebody who tried to force her off

297
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: the road. Well, this is also another interesting fact about

298
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: her carving found not flat, not empty, not banged up,

299
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: no crash. It was also at a busy intersection, so

300
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: you would think if someone was going to kidnap her,

301
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: steal her away, or forced her in her out of

302
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: the car, it would have been spotted. But we have

303
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: no witness. I know it was early in the morning,

304
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: but people are up and about on the interstate heading

305
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: to airports, heading to work like she was at six

306
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. What can we learn from this car?

307
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Robert Townsend k s DK Creevecorps

308
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Police located a car not far from this house the

309
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: same day, near the intersection of Olive and Fife Row.

310
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Liars of the missing woman are posted right now inside

311
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: several businesses in this very neighborhood. Police also tell us

312
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: Rothwell's family and friends usually talk to her every day,

313
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: but again, they have not heard from this woman since

314
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Jennifer left home early esterday morning, and that's why they

315
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: filed a missing person's report. Police say Rothwell's husband, all

316
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: of her relatives and family members they spent that they

317
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: talked to them. They just want to know where this

318
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: woman is. Again, police tell us this young lady has

319
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: never disappeared before. Back there live gain you see a

320
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: very active scene in this neighborhood. Saintlis County police right

321
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: here sitting into vehicles. They are also asking anyone who

322
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: sees Jennifer Rothwell to call Saintlis County Police immediately. As

323
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: the search intensifies, of course focus turns to the husband.

324
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: But he bo Rothwell is the one that call nine

325
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: one one. And so often when husbands are suspected in

326
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: a wife's disappearance or even murder, they're not the ones

327
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: that call nine one one. I mean, look at barrymore Few.

328
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: He didn't call nine one one. He called his daughters

329
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: to call a neighbor. And I think the neighbor is

330
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: the one that call nine one one. It goes on

331
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: and on, as I would call it. Scott Peterson, her

332
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: parents called nine one one, not him. Another issue cops

333
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: are going to have is, let me understand this Christie

334
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Missouri joining us. She's last seen it at six thirty eight,

335
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: and he, the husband, does call on nine one one.

336
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: But isn't it at nearly ten o'clock at night when

337
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: he calls nine one one? Correct, when she doesn't return

338
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: from work. Now, mind you flashback to what he said

339
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: earlier in the day she leaves for work, he misses

340
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: a few phone calls from her, and she never responds

341
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: to his phone call. So that huge gap of time,

342
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: all of these missed phone calls in the morning, he

343
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: waits until ten pm to finally say, something's wrong here.

344
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: I haven't heard from my wife in over twelve hours. Well,

345
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: another thing, I don't think that she normally gets time

346
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock at night from were sure because if

347
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: she's going in at six thirty, especially in a lot

348
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: of her being pregnant, he waited until nearly ten o'clock

349
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: at night. That steel is not damning, but it was

350
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: enough for her family to be concerned because she spoke

351
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: to them on a daily basis. So when dinner time

352
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: rolled around that day and they hadn't heard from Jennifer,

353
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: when they questioned Bull, he said, well, I tried calling

354
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: her this morning. She hasn't answered her phone. That started

355
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: putting up some concerns. When you hit a wall, I

356
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: always start over again. Matthew Mangino, high profile lawyer out

357
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 1: of Newcastle, former district attorney. Once you follow all your

358
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: leads and you're going nowhere, you start all over again.

359
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: With the scenario with the witnesses, with the ring cams,

360
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: with the NAV system, with the phone calls, with the texts,

361
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: and of course you'll look at the husband, but I

362
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: would look not only at the morning she was last seen.

363
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: I would look at the days leading up to that.

364
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: With you, well, yeah, there's no question about it. I

365
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: think you're exactly right. Once you've gone through would appear

366
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: to be the obvious options here, you go back to

367
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: the beginning. In the beginning in investigations like this is

368
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: at the husband, and you want to now get more

369
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: information about the husband. You want to find out what

370
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: he was doing in the days leading up to her

371
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: disappearance exactly. And you're right, you want you want to

372
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: you want to see his phone. You want to you

373
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: want to see who he's been in contact with, who

374
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: he's been talking to, who he's been messaging, and uh,

375
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, so this, this investigation, in this short period

376
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: of time, has gone full circle. Let's go back to

377
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: the beginning and let's be more thorough about what transpired

378
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: prior to her disappearance. Then we find out that he

379
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: is quite the Nate Nick. That's always a concern to

380
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: me when your wife goes missing and suddenly you're out

381
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: buying bleach. Take a listen to our cut eight our

382
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: friends at Fox two. Bo Rothwell told officers he last

383
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: saw his wife at six twenty am at their home

384
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: when she reportedly left for work. Minutes later, he missed

385
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: four phone calls from her. Police found the victim's phone

386
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: in her car, abandoned on the side of the road

387
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: near Olive and Fifee. Meanwhile, investigators noted Bo's pick up

388
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: at their home about a mile away had a strong

389
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: odor of bleach that seeked from the truck bed. A

390
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: small window to the garage was opened despite the cold temperatures.

391
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Tim Gallagher were now medical Examiner for the entire

392
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: state of Florida. You can find him at pathcaremed dot com,

393
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Lecturer University Florida School of Medicine, and founder host of

394
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: the International Forensic Medicine Death Investigation Conference. Doctor Gallagher why bleach?

395
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost cliche where you see the killer

396
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: in line at Walmart und bleach. These cops get six

397
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: feet from the husband's truck and they smell bleach. What

398
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: is in bleach that hurts your nose? Both bleach actually

399
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: is chlorine bleach and arene is a gas. It's a

400
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: very reactive gas, and that it'll react with proteins, it'll

401
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: react with bodily fluids, and it'll react with tissue you

402
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: know that's present in your nose, and when it does

403
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: come in contact, it will ignite the nerve endings and

404
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: it will radiate pain from your nose all up through

405
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: your face. So another thing I wanted to point out

406
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: now that I got a chance again is to say

407
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: places like Walmart, Target, you know their surveillance system. You know,

408
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: we kind of frown upon these large, big box stores,

409
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: but we've called a lot of criminals using the surveillance

410
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: and photography system present. You know, after registers at Walmart

411
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: and places like Target. Hey frowns on big box stores,

412
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: little box stores. Ah, you're right, because I know. I'm

413
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: telling you last minute. A couple of weeks ago, twins

414
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: finally got to go on there a school trip after

415
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: years of not getting to go because of COVID. Of course,

416
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: we didn't have a digiicam. We went everywhere. Guests who

417
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: saved us Walmart two digital cameras and they were cheap

418
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: and they were awesome. So I don't want to hear

419
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: any shade on Target or Walmart not working here, Doctor

420
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: Tim Gallagher, I don't know what rarefied circles you run in,

421
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: but that's not true for the rest of us. So chlorine,

422
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: it's that, did you say chlorine? It's what's in bleach

423
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: that hurts your nose, right. Chlorine is a guest that

424
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: it dissolved in a fluid which has been called bleach.

425
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: But it evaporates very quickly out of the fluid and

426
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: it goes into your nose, reacts with a tissue and

427
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: ignites the nerve endings. That's what causes the pain. You know,

428
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that bleach alone can get

429
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: rid of DNA. That's absolutely not true. You need something

430
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: like myriadic acid like black swan if you really want

431
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: to do the job right. But I mean, you can

432
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: smell bleach a mile away. Hey, that just made me

433
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: think of something, doctor Tim Gallagher. Remember in the more

434
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: few case where everybody went into his hotel room and

435
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: said it smelled like chlorine? Would that have been possibly

436
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: bleach and not chlorine from a swimming pool? Most likely

437
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: if you just smell it in one room and not

438
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: all of the rooms, most likely it is bleach. You know,

439
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: that is centralized in that one location. You do know,

440
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: I could listen to talk all day long. But getting

441
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: back on track, So we've got the husband cleaning out

442
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: his truck bed with bleach and he's even opened the

443
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: garage window, left it cracked open. What to dissipate the odor?

444
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: Odor of what? But then we find out about a list.

445
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, doctor Bethany Marshall, there's such thing as being

446
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: too organized. Take a listen to our cut nine our

447
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: friends at Fox too. Bo Rothwell's list of pros and

448
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: cons about his mistress. Rothwell wrote it on a work

449
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: notebook dated five months before the murder. Plus is indicating

450
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: the pros like better sex, life, more respect, fresh start

451
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: than he wrote. Is the cost too high? Under cons

452
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: indicated by a minor sign half my assets, money, trust

453
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: is shaken, tainted, my family, disappointment and take on her

454
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: kid with his probs. The list did not mention killing anyone. Wow,

455
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Chrissy Missourich. A list made out of pros and cons

456
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: whether he should keep the wife or get rid of her.

457
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: Do you remember those old Gerito commercials that would run

458
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: during Lawrence Well where the husband at the end would say,

459
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: I think I'll keep her even as a little girl.

460
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: That just rubbed me the wrong way. But I didn't

461
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: know why he made a list of pros and cons

462
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: about keeping his wife or what trade to get marriage,

463
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: marriage or mistress that we talked about the mistress. What

464
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: did you just say, Go ahead, I'm listening marriage or

465
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: mistress Because that list really puts investigators on the trajectory

466
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: looking further into his phone, who he was talking to,

467
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: how long he was talking to them, and what exactly

468
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: he was saying, and then they uncover this whole sordid

469
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: affair he was having with another woman, and some very

470
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: eye opening text messages to this woman just before Jennifer

471
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: goes missing. Okay, wait, tell me about the text messages. Well,

472
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: as we was saying, he was debating marriage or mistress.

473
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: He claims he was feeling guilty about having this affair

474
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: and wanted to come clean to his wife. So he

475
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: and his mistress start texting back and forth, and he said, well,

476
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: we have three options. Option one is to end things

477
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: all together and stop chatting. Option two, I'll admit the

478
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: affair to Jennifer and get a divorce. Option three, because

479
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: now Jennifer is pregnant and he knows this see of

480
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: a miscarriage or quote something happens in which case Bo

481
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: would leave Jennifer for her, and it's that comment or

482
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: something happens that police focus on. So now we learn

483
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: not only did he make a pro and con list

484
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: to doctor Bethany Marshall very quickly. I would hate to

485
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: think that you could reduce a marriage and a pregnancy

486
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: down to a pros and cons list marriage or mistress.

487
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: You know what's missing out of this list is his

488
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: emotions towards either one of these true two women. There's

489
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: nothing about his wife being beautiful, what about the unborn child?

490
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: The unborn child is not really mentioned his family, anything

491
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: emotional about the people in his life. He does mention

492
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: loss of respect, but that's very self referential and it

493
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: just has all to do with him. There's nothing about

494
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: we're being attached to anybody else. Put him to kill

495
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: time stories with Nancy Grace. Guys. As it continues on,

496
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: there is another big break in the case. Take a

497
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: listen to our friends at k s DK. Saint Louis

498
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: County Police tells me that today they went back to

499
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: the area that they were last night, hoping at the

500
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: daylight can help them find any new sort of evidence.

501
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: Saint Louis County Police Chief John Bellmar says the rank

502
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: made it even harder to search. This major operation was

503
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: off the roadway of US sixty one, just north of

504
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: KK but after six hours of looking, they found the

505
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: body of a white adult female at eleven fifteen last

506
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: night along U s sixty one near Quiver River State Park.

507
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: They believe it is Jennifer Rothwell's body. The body has

508
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: been found. Doctor Tim Gallagher, a medical examer for the

509
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: State of Florida out in the elements. Many days have passed.

510
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: How will that affect making an idea of her and

511
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: determining cod cause of death? Well, it shouldn't really impact

512
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 1: the cause of death too much. Most likely, you know,

513
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: if she was killed via a sharp blow or a

514
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: bullet wound or a knife, that will be preserved. You

515
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: know whether or not the body is decomposed or not.

516
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: But I identifying her through dental records or through other

517
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: medical records should be fairly straightforward if she does have

518
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: existing medical records, and I believe it was mentioned that

519
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: she was six weeks pregnant, so a recovery of the

520
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: fetis and then dating the fetus to six weeks could

521
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: also assist in positively identifying her. Facebook messages between the

522
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: husband and his girlfriend show he was very upset and

523
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: he discovered she was pregnant. Take a Listen to our

524
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: Prince at k M. He and Jennifer meeting at the

525
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: University of Missouri, later getting married, struggling to have children,

526
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: and then his affair. When she told him she was pregnant,

527
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: he said it was an awkward moment. Rothwell said, I

528
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: had mixed feelings. I wanted to be a dad a

529
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: long time, but I was having an affair. He said

530
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: he felt guilty about the affair, and on November eleventh,

531
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 1: Rothwell said, my plan was to tell her about the affair,

532
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: throw myself on her mercy, and hope for the best.

533
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: Rothwell said he and Jennifer were sitting in the kitchen

534
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: of their home when he confessed his affair and gave

535
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: this account of their exchange. I'm really sorry, but I'm

536
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: having an affair. How dare you explative? He claims. She

537
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: shoved him and then said, keep your mystery explative. I've

538
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: got someone too. Is this even mine? It doesn't mind.

539
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: The baby's probably not yours. Who is it, it doesn't matter.

540
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: At least he can get me pregnant. Okay, that sounds

541
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of bs to me. John Gard, Chief

542
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: Deputy pitt County Sheriff's Office. It sounds to me like

543
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: he's trying to place blame on Jennifer and somehow drag

544
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: her through the mud. He's clearly having an affair. He's

545
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: been thinking of pros and cause to stay in the

546
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: marriage or get rid of his wife. And now even

547
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: after her body has been found, she's been stripped naked,

548
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: her head is covered with a plastic bag, she's been

549
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: tied up. I guess to make this look like a

550
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: stranger did it. He's now trying to stay Oh it

551
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: wasn't my baby. Well we can figure that out from

552
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: the postmortem. You're exactly right. And I think a theme

553
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: that you brought up, man said, and what we're hearing

554
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: is just the selfishness. I mean, did this in fight happen?

555
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm right there with you, O lad. I

556
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: mean again, this line of thinking or him saying occurred,

557
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: only benefits one person, which is him. You know, kind

558
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: of a common theme. He does put a lot all

559
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: the time, and a lot of activities postcrime. You got

560
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: very can jump in about this. You know, in domestic

561
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: homicide and domestic abuse situations, when you interview the man, notoriously,

562
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: they have little to no idea of what's really going

563
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: through the woman's mind, no idea. They mischaracterize their partners

564
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: all the time, and they mischaracterize them in a negative direction.

565
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: And so yeah, he's trying to cover up the crime,

566
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: but he's also really a disturbed, toxic, abusive individual who

567
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: probably had no idea what his wife was thinking all

568
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: throughout the marriage, Nancy, And if I can jump in,

569
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: police did figure out what Jennifer Rothwell was thinking just

570
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: days before she went missing. Remember, her phone was found

571
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: in the abandoned car, and one of her most recent

572
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Google searches was what to do if your husband is

573
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: upset you are pregnant. That should have led them to

574
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: hone in on him immediately. Isn't it showing doctor Bethany

575
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: that the number one cause of death amongst pregnant women

576
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: is homicide. It's not high blood pressure, it's not a

577
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: heart attack, it's not clapclampsia. It's homicide. That's right, because

578
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: when the father of the unborn baby finds out the

579
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: woman is pregnant, often there's a lot of conflicting emotions,

580
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: such as how much is it going to cost to

581
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: have this baby? Am I going to have to share

582
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: the love of my wife with this unborn baby? What

583
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: is this going to do to my life? Oh, I'm

584
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: having an affair, and is this baby going to interfere

585
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: with the time and resources necessary for carrying out the affair?

586
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: So yes, it is the leading cause of death in

587
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: pregnant women. Well, once this guy starts talking here, really,

588
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: let's sit rip. Take a listen to our cut twelve

589
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: our friends at KMV. Rothwell says he was standing behind

590
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Jennifer and hit her on the right temple with a mallet,

591
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: then followed her as she stumbled toward the garage. In

592
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: the heat of the moment, I hit her again. I

593
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: think I cracked her skull and she fell down the stairs.

594
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: He said. She was unresponsive. I couldn't tell if she

595
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: was deceased. But instead of calling on when One for

596
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: an ambulance, Rothwell said he went into panic mode and

597
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: started cleaning up Every fiber in my body was saying,

598
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: do something or I'd die. After killing Jennifer, I thought

599
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: I had to clean this up and hide what I'd done,

600
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: he said. After cleaning up the blood, he loaded her

601
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: body in the back of his pickup and drove without

602
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: knowing where he was going. Eventually pulled off the side

603
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: of the road on Highway sixty one near Troy and

604
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: put her body twenty to twenty five feet off the

605
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: road and covered it with twigs and leaves. And that's

606
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: not all, hey just can't stop talking. Take a listen

607
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: our cut thirteen, He admitted parking your car along all

608
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: the boulevardists part of a scheme to claim she had

609
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: gone missing, and said he knew it was wrong to

610
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: deceive her friends, but felt like he had to keep

611
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: up the facid so get this. On cross examination, bro

612
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: Rothwell admitted that he was still in almost daily contact

613
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: of the woman who was having an affair with. In fact,

614
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: multiple times a day I spoke with an alternate jurb

615
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: who the judge said was no longer needed and allowed

616
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: to go home. She said if she was in the

617
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: jury room, she would vote for guilty on first degree murder.

618
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: In fact, she said, quote he's guilty as hell, and

619
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: listen to what we now learn he did to his

620
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: pregnant wife's body, then making up this lie about the

621
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: baby belonging to another man. Take a listen to our

622
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: cut fourteen KMV. The Facebook messages between bo Rothwell and

623
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: his girlfriend showed that he was very upset when he

624
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: found out that his wife was pregnant. This afternoon, detectives

625
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: presented evidence that there had been a bloody, violent confrontation

626
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: in the basement of the couple's home. Prosecutors have said

627
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: that twenty eight girl Jennifer Rothwell's skull was crushed. Her

628
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: body found dumped along Highway sixty one near Troy. Her

629
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: clothes had been removed, She was bound with duct tape

630
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: and had a plastic over her head. In testimony this afternoon,

631
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: the lead detective testified a by conducting a search at

632
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: the couple's home. He said there was no sign of

633
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: forced entry into the home and that in the basement,

634
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: detectives found reddish circle staining of the carpet and intentions

635
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: in the wall. During the search at the home, detectives

636
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: removed basement carpet and carpet padding and showed the stained

637
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: items to the jury today. It just breaks my heart

638
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: that this woman, this poor woman, Jennifer Rothwell, expecting her

639
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: first child was online looking at a website forum called

640
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: husband doesn't care first pregnancy forums. What to expect. It's

641
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: just she was all alone in the world, her husband

642
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: texting and sleeping with another woman. Even after she goes missing.

643
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: In other words, he killed her. He's still carrying on

644
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: the relationship with the mistress. And I noticed when he

645
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: speaks to detectives he refers to the body. I mean,

646
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: doctor Tim Gallagher, that was a lot of staging he

647
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: did post mortem, stripping her nude after he beat her

648
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: dead in the head, zip tying her wrists, putting a

649
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: plastic bag over her head, hiding her body. That's a

650
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: lot of staging, doctor Gallagher. Well, it is, and it's

651
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of easy to see why he did wrap the head,

652
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: as we had in other cases before. When there is

653
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: a head injury, a severe open skull fracture, it bleeds

654
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: very heavily. We know that the heart keeps pumping the

655
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: blood through the wound, and it creates a lot of bleeding,

656
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: more so than you would ever expect. Maybe he was

657
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: trying to hide that evidences and prevent her from continue

658
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: to bleed as he transports her. Well, the alternate jurar

659
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: was right on. Take a listen to our cut sixteen

660
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: our fens at KMOV. The jury took only three hours

661
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: in twenty minutes to reach their verdict tonight, and when

662
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: they read it out loud, the courtroom erupted with emotion.

663
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: Jennifer Rothwell's friends and families say they feel a sense

664
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: of relief and justice. It's a conviction. The state was

665
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: confident Bo Rothwell would receive. One of the things that

666
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: came out in testimony was the defendant said with the

667
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: second hit that he thought he was trying to stop

668
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: her from getting away, and right there you have deliberation.

669
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: During Bo's testimony early Thursday, he said it has haunted

670
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: me every day since Bo Rothwell was charged with first

671
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: degree murder, tampering with evidence for trying to clean up

672
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: the crime scene, and abandoning Jennifer's body near Troy, Missouri.

673
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: That around six thirty Thursday, Rothwell was found guilty on

674
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: all counts, hanging his head in dismay, but throughout the

675
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: rest of the courtroom, a sense of relief and justice

676
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: flooded Jennifer's friends and family. They will live forever without her.

677
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: No prison term will be enough of a punishment for

678
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: this husband, so cold, so callous the message today. Pomicide

679
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: is the number one cause of death amongst pregnant women.
