1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: It's callers being recorded and may be monitored. They are

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: you sitting down? Yeah? You don't think any left for

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: me after I tell you this, because he's not a

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: good story. But you need to know him. I called

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: them and he let go down to the theater on

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: the Bay and I had my dad done well. He

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: loaded it and when I took him up into the attic,

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: I shot him two times in the back of the head.

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to sleuth. I'm Linda Sawyer. I've been covering murder

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: trials for most of my career, but nothing has grabbed

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: me like the case of double murderer Daniel Wozniak. It

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: was a beautiful sunny southern California Friday in May when

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Wozniak decides, in order to finance his honeymoon, he's

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and shoot his friends and dismember them

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: for their Money's going on, sir, there's a what a

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: dead body? Are you sure, sir? Does your son know

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: who it is? Okay, we're downing people, sir. I've got

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: someone on the way. Okay, I'm just going to get

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: information from you. Are right? When I first heard about

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: this case, it was about this musical theater kid. He

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: was a local talent, and most of the community productions

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: cast him as the lead, so he had this following

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: and ultimately a lot of people thought they knew him.

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: He's just this happy, go lucky, goofy, friendly guy who

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, didn't have his act together, you know. I

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: literally I just saw him as this, this sweet kid

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: who you know, trying to make something, doing his best.

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: And so when I learned about him for the first time,

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: I said, how could this be that a musical theater

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: geek could in fact commit these heinous crimes that you're

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: reading about, and that these theater owners were telling me

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: about it just, oh my gosh. One of my daughters

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: could been opposite Daniel Wazniak and could have been kissing

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: him in a performance, in a role, and that just

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: horrified me. I mean, I always felt that it was

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: a safe haven for my children, and so it really

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: struck me on a personal cord. And that is why

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: kick in the reporter in me, and I'm like, there

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: are just so many questions I have that need answers,

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: and so this odyssey that I've been on for two

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: years has really been all about not only answering the

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: questions from me on a personal level, but helping these

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: victims families, helping them understand what really happened to their

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: loved ones. That hoping that the rest of the people

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: involved are ultimately found guilty of the crimes that they

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: committed as well, because it wasn't just Daniel Wisniac, It

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: just wasn't be sure to follow Sleuth launching this summer
