0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's callers being recorded and may be monitored. They are

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you sitting down? Yeah? You don't think any left for

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>me after I tell you this, because he's not a

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>good story. But you need to know him. I called

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>them and he let go down to the theater on

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the Bay and I had my dad done well. He

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>loaded it and when I took him up into the attic,

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I shot him two times in the back of the head.

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to sleuth. I'm Linda Sawyer. I've been covering murder

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>trials for most of my career, but nothing has grabbed

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>me like the case of double murderer Daniel Wozniak. It

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.959
<v Speaker 1>was a beautiful sunny southern California Friday in May when

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Wozniak decides, in order to finance his honeymoon, he's

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna go ahead and shoot his friends and dismember them

0:00:53.880 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>for their Money's going on, sir, there's a what a

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>dead body? Are you sure, sir? Does your son know

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>who it is? Okay, we're downing people, sir. I've got

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>someone on the way. Okay, I'm just going to get

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>information from you. Are right? When I first heard about

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>this case, it was about this musical theater kid. He

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>was a local talent, and most of the community productions

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>cast him as the lead, so he had this following

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately a lot of people thought they knew him.

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>He's just this happy, go lucky, goofy, friendly guy who

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, didn't have his act together, you know. I

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>literally I just saw him as this, this sweet kid

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>who you know, trying to make something, doing his best.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>And so when I learned about him for the first time,

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, how could this be that a musical theater

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>geek could in fact commit these heinous crimes that you're

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>reading about, and that these theater owners were telling me

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>about it just, oh my gosh. One of my daughters

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>could been opposite Daniel Wazniak and could have been kissing

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>him in a performance, in a role, and that just

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>horrified me. I mean, I always felt that it was

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a safe haven for my children, and so it really

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>struck me on a personal cord. And that is why

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>kick in the reporter in me, and I'm like, there

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>are just so many questions I have that need answers,

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>and so this odyssey that I've been on for two

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>years has really been all about not only answering the

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 1>questions from me on a personal level, but helping these

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 1>victims families, helping them understand what really happened to their

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>loved ones. That hoping that the rest of the people

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>involved are ultimately found guilty of the crimes that they

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>committed as well, because it wasn't just Daniel Wisniac, It

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't be sure to follow Sleuth launching this summer
