Speaker 1: It's callers being recorded and may be monitored. They are
Speaker 1: you sitting down? Yeah? You don't think any left for
Speaker 1: me after I tell you this, because he's not a
Speaker 1: good story. But you need to know him. I called
Speaker 1: them and he let go down to the theater on
Speaker 1: the Bay and I had my dad done well. He
Speaker 1: loaded it and when I took him up into the attic,
Speaker 1: I shot him two times in the back of the head.
Speaker 1: Welcome to sleuth. I'm Linda Sawyer. I've been covering murder
Speaker 1: trials for most of my career, but nothing has grabbed
Speaker 1: me like the case of double murderer Daniel Wozniak. It
Speaker 1: was a beautiful sunny southern California Friday in May when
Speaker 1: Daniel Wozniak decides, in order to finance his honeymoon, he's
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and shoot his friends and dismember them
Speaker 1: for their Money's going on, sir, there's a what a
Speaker 1: dead body? Are you sure, sir? Does your son know
Speaker 1: who it is? Okay, we're downing people, sir. I've got
Speaker 1: someone on the way. Okay, I'm just going to get
Speaker 1: information from you. Are right? When I first heard about
Speaker 1: this case, it was about this musical theater kid. He
Speaker 1: was a local talent, and most of the community productions
Speaker 1: cast him as the lead, so he had this following
Speaker 1: and ultimately a lot of people thought they knew him.
Speaker 1: He's just this happy, go lucky, goofy, friendly guy who
Speaker 1: you know, didn't have his act together, you know. I
Speaker 1: literally I just saw him as this, this sweet kid
Speaker 1: who you know, trying to make something, doing his best.
Speaker 1: And so when I learned about him for the first time,
Speaker 1: I said, how could this be that a musical theater
Speaker 1: geek could in fact commit these heinous crimes that you're
Speaker 1: reading about, and that these theater owners were telling me
Speaker 1: about it just, oh my gosh. One of my daughters
Speaker 1: could been opposite Daniel Wazniak and could have been kissing
Speaker 1: him in a performance, in a role, and that just
Speaker 1: horrified me. I mean, I always felt that it was
Speaker 1: a safe haven for my children, and so it really
Speaker 1: struck me on a personal cord. And that is why
Speaker 1: kick in the reporter in me, and I'm like, there
Speaker 1: are just so many questions I have that need answers,
Speaker 1: and so this odyssey that I've been on for two
Speaker 1: years has really been all about not only answering the
Speaker 1: questions from me on a personal level, but helping these
Speaker 1: victims families, helping them understand what really happened to their
Speaker 1: loved ones. That hoping that the rest of the people
Speaker 1: involved are ultimately found guilty of the crimes that they
Speaker 1: committed as well, because it wasn't just Daniel Wisniac, It
Speaker 1: just wasn't be sure to follow Sleuth launching this summer
Speaker 1: August nine on i Heart Radio or wherever you subscribe
Speaker 1: to podcasts.
