00:00What did police find when they arrived at the scene?
00:07A body floating in the canal with a stab wound to her back.
00:14Melanie had been riding her bicycle along the canal.
00:17She was ambushed.
00:20We wanted to kill her.
00:24Why was she targeted was the big question.
00:30Melanie was wearing a swimsuit that was too small.
00:35The killer brought the bodysuit, redressed her.
00:39He spent a lot of time with the body.
00:42I've been doing this job for 26 years.
00:44It's nothing that I ever saw before.
00:51Remains of another victim were found on the other side of this freeway.
00:55She had been decapitated.
00:57Her head was missing.
00:58The killer meant to send a message.
01:01Sickening.
01:02It made the hair on the back of your neck stand out.
01:06Was there a fear that they were in a race against time because this killer might strike again?
01:13Absolutely.
01:15This is the killer who enjoyed it.
01:18This was his hunting ground.
01:20He would not stop.
01:21Hi.
01:35I'm Paula Zahn.
01:37And tonight we're on The Case in Phoenix, Arizona.
01:40The Valley of the Sun is known for its rugged terrain and residents who love the outdoors.
01:46But those simple pleasures were replaced by fear when one of the city's many scenic bike trails
01:53became the setting for two of its most gruesome murders. The crime scenes told police the same
02:00man had taken the lives of both young women, and his depravity inspired a crack team of investigators
02:08to try never-before-used techniques to get justice.
02:15September 21st, 1993. It was 11 on a warm Tuesday night when Phoenix police received a chilling call.
02:2817-year-old Melanie Bernis had gone missing, and her family feared the worst.
02:34When was the last time anybody had seen her?
02:37Her mother last saw her at approximately 6.37 p.m. that night.
02:42That's when Melanie's mother had left to go out to dinner.
02:50She was surprised when she got home at 9 to find that her daughter wasn't there.
02:55As far as she knew, Melanie didn't have any plans that night.
03:01It was a school night, and it was odd that she would be missing at that time of night.
03:08Melanie's mother searched their home and made an ominous discovery.
03:13She saw that Melanie's bike was missing.
03:20Did she mention to her mother that she was going to take a bike ride after her mother left for dinner?
03:24No. She was under the understanding that Melanie was in for the night, not going anywhere.
03:29Was Melanie the kind of kid that if she was going to see a friend that she would have told her mother?
03:35Yes, she was a great kid. This was totally out of character. And that's what really troubled her mother.
03:41That fear grew when Melanie's mother reached out to the teenager's friends and discovered that none of them had seen nor heard from her either.
03:50The night she went missing, her mom did call our house looking for her.
03:56It was kind of a panic of, where is she?
04:05By 11 p.m., everyone knew it was time to contact the police.
04:10Officers raced to the Burnis home to take a report.
04:13Do you think this missing person's call was taken seriously?
04:18I do. There are a lot of missing pieces.
04:20Certainly, it's very disturbing to have that feeling of, where's my kid?
04:25Police took down a description of the young woman and her green SPC Hard Rock sports mountain bike.
04:33Did Melanie's mother know what she had been wearing that night?
04:36She did know what Melanie could usually put on when she rode.
04:40And also, she would typically take a Walkman and listen to her favorite songs.
04:46All through the night, investigators crisscrossed the city, trying to find Melanie.
04:51But no one had seen the teenager.
04:53Just after sunrise the next morning, 23-year-old Charlotte Pottle stumbled upon some disturbing clues
05:07as she was riding her bike along the Phoenix Canal with her sister.
05:13There was a big puddle, and the puddle looked to be discolored.
05:17I rode right through it.
05:19As the strange color liquid splashed on her bike, her heart stopped.
05:27I squatted down and looked on the road.
05:32Very much appeared to be a puddle of blood.
05:37And as I looked closer, I could see drag marks.
05:43Charlotte knew that something was seriously wrong.
05:46My first thought was, somebody probably needs help if there's this much blood.
05:52But something was telling me I needed to get out of there and call authorities.
06:00Phoenix police arrived minutes later and followed the blood-stained drag marks Charlotte had pointed
06:07out through some tall weeds back towards the water.
06:12What did police find when they arrived at the scene?
06:14They found a female body floating in the canal.
06:27Detective Russ Davis arrived just as divers were bringing the lifeless body to the shore.
06:35He was struck by the unusual bathing suit the victim was wearing.
06:40The swimsuit was just not her size. It was too small.
06:46It was really odd because it was designed for a pre-teen girl.
06:52Experience told detectives that the turquoise one-piece zipper-front bathing suit didn't belong to the
07:045'10", 138-pound young woman. But they put that puzzling clue on the back burner and focused on her cause of death.
07:14What injuries had the victim sustained?
07:16The victim had a stab wound to her back.
07:26The grim crime scene became even harder to handle after investigators looked at the victim's face.
07:33She matched the description of Melanie Bernis, the teenager who had mysteriously disappeared.
07:41How were they able to identify the victim?
07:48She had a relative who was actually in law enforcement. He identified Melanie.
07:55I kind of get choked up even thinking about it.
07:56The Melanie Bernis missing persons case was now a homicide investigation.
08:07And officers fanned out looking for a lead.
08:11Was Melanie's bike or Walkman ever found?
08:14No, her bike was never found.
08:18There were some wires that were found at the scene that were cut.
08:22But her actual Walkman was missing.
08:30Officers canvassing the area also found clothing in a nearby dumpster.
08:36That was identified as Melanie's. Her green t-shirt and shorts.
08:42Melanie's clothing was torn and ripped.
08:47And heavily stained with blood.
08:52Officers also recovered the teenager's sports bra just steps away from the dumpster.
09:01It appeared that her killer had disposed of the items as he fled the crime scene.
09:08The discovery of Melanie's clothing helped confirm what first responders had suspected.
09:14The bathing suit Melanie was found in was not hers.
09:18He had redressed her and that really took it to a whole new level.
09:23This was over the top.
09:26They were dealing with a very thick individual.
09:32Was the murder weapon found?
09:33No. The knife was taken from the scene and we never recovered it.
09:37Friends and family showed police the route Melanie normally took while biking.
09:48Investigators estimated that she had begun her ride shortly after her mother left for dinner.
09:54Most likely sometime between 7 and 7.30 p.m.
09:58It was getting dark. Melanie had rode that path quite a few times.
10:03There was a ferris wheel over there and she'd ride up past that and then she'd come back.
10:09Melanie was roughly 11 miles from home when she was viciously attacked.
10:14Officers canvassed the entire route hoping to find someone who saw something suspicious.
10:29Was there any lighting along the canal?
10:31It was relatively dark but people are walking, people are biking and nobody sees anything.
10:38It befuddles me. I can't understand that.
10:40Police had no witnesses to what appeared to have been a well-planned and prolonged attack.
10:51And that led investigators to a troubling conclusion.
10:54Melanie's gruesome murder was not the killer's first crime and it likely wouldn't be his last.
11:10As investigators began the hunt for the killer of Melanie Bernis, their experience had them braced for the worst.
11:27But for those closest to the teenager, the blow was heartbreaking beyond anything they could have imagined.
11:34How did you process that?
11:37Hell, basically on earth, you find out that your friend just was murdered.
11:44Everybody deals with grief in a different way. How did you get through those dark days?
11:48My life changed instantly. You don't know is it someone we knew?
11:54If it happened to Melanie in a safe place, it could happen anywhere.
11:58It's 30 years later and I'm still dealing with the effects of it.
12:07Rachel, who was just 16 at the time, was a classmate of Melanie's at Arcadia High School in East Phoenix.
12:15The two instantly hit it off.
12:18She had so many different facets. She was definitely quick-witted,
12:21super loyal as a friend. She was a very smart student. I think she would have done something really amazing with her life.
12:32Rachel told police that Melanie didn't have any enemies,
12:35and the investigation uncovered no one who knew that she'd be on her bike that night.
12:41Those details only deepened the mystery.
12:45Why was she targeted was the big question.
12:51The investigators could only hope that Melanie's autopsy might give them their first lead.
13:00What did the medical examiner determine was the cause of Melanie's death?
13:05A large sharp knife had been driven into Melanie's lower left back,
13:09and it had collapsed her lung, took out her aorta. It was a horrific but quick death.
13:15How many stab wounds did she sustain? There was just the fatal stab wound. It was very precise.
13:27Did she have any defensive wounds? Not really. I don't even think she had time
13:33to react to what the killer was doing.
13:35But even after Melanie had been fatally wounded, the attack continued.
13:50It was evident that the killer spent a lot of time with her.
13:53Was there evidence that she had been sexually assaulted?
13:56There was sexual assault in the presence of foreign biological material.
14:05The chilling information in the autopsy report helped sharpen investigators' theory of the crime.
14:13How do you think the killer was able to get her off her bike?
14:18It was ambushed.
14:21This looked like a blitz-style attack.
14:25Melanie was heading along the canal, but there's a tunnel that goes under the freeway there.
14:29So did she have to slow down? And that enabled him to get a better opportunity.
14:41Back at the crime scene, investigators found more clues that helped confirm their darkest suspicions.
14:50She was dragged over by a small tree where there was a lot of blood.
14:54We have evidence of her being dragged another 100-plus feet to a ridge.
15:04That's where Melanie's killer did something that still had investigators puzzled.
15:10For whatever bizarre reason, he had redressed her.
15:15It just was very disturbing.
15:18Then he drags her again and puts her into the canal.
15:21Detectives were concerned that the disturbing evidence and the risk the killer took while
15:29committing the crime indicated that Melanie Bernas was not his first victim
15:36and might not be his last.
15:40Was there a fear among investigators that they were in a race against time
15:47because this killer might strike again?
15:49Absolutely. The horrific nature, the level of violence.
15:54Investigators knew that they were dealing with a very proficient killer who enjoyed it.
15:59As police studied the totality of the evidence surrounding the grisly murder of Melanie Bernas,
16:19they quickly became convinced they were dealing with an experienced killer.
16:24And that led them to consider if the crime might be connected to another gruesome attack along the same Phoenix Canal.
16:36Whose murder did they think might be connected to Melanie's?
16:40Angela Brasso, she was killed two miles north of where Melanie was murdered.
16:50About 10 months earlier, the partial remains were found at the other side of this freeway.
16:57Police in the community were concerned that they had a serial killer on their hands.
17:00As detectives read through the file on the Brasso murder, they found several troubling similarities
17:13between the two crimes, starting with when, where, and how Angela had disappeared.
17:20Where had she gone that night? Angela had told her boyfriend, I'm going out for a bike ride.
17:25That was around dusk.
17:27Like Melanie, Angela had quickly been reported missing.
17:36But in Angela's case, it was law enforcement who found the trail of blood near the canal.
17:43Police searching for Angela found her here, which is about 130 feet from the bike path.
17:50It was clear Angela had been murdered during a savage and sexually motivated attack.
18:02What do you remember about the scene?
18:06Angela was laying on her back. She was nude and she was wearing her tennis shoes.
18:13Her clothing was kind of strewn about in the area.
18:18It had been cut off of her.
18:20And perhaps the most compelling connection between the two crimes was the precise stab wound
18:32that ended Angela's life.
18:36She had the fatal stab wound to the back.
18:39It was a hauntingly similar injury to the one that killed Melanie.
18:44Did the killer use the same kind of weapon in both murders?
18:49Investigators believed that he had used the same exact knife.
18:56Still, there were details that did not line up.
19:00Angela had not been redressed after her murder, and her body was not found in the canal.
19:06And it was the final difference that was the most chilling.
19:11What injuries had she suffered?
19:14She had been decapitated.
19:17Ten days after Angela's murder, police received a call that a head had been found in the canal.
19:23And this was directly across the freeway from where Melanie was later found murdered.
19:32How did that gruesome discovery impact the investigation?
19:36The shock and awe, knowing that the killer meant to send a message of fear,
19:42I think it just sent things into a tailspin, sickening.
19:50After weighing all the evidence, police concluded that the two crimes had to have been committed by the same killer.
19:57Both girls had been biking around dusk. Both girls were found with their shoes and socks still on.
20:06Both bikes were missing, and the stab wounds in the back were the same.
20:15The two homicide investigations were combined into one.
20:20And the search for a dangerous predator took a new direction.
20:27The question was, who teaches precision kills?
20:30Where you go up behind a person and you very quickly just stab them.
20:35The logical conclusion we made was, this is military training.
20:44But dozens of calls to nearby military bases failed to reveal a suspect.
20:51And a nationwide search of crimes with similar MOs also went nowhere.
20:57It wasn't until 1994 when advances in DNA technology appeared to move the investigation forward.
21:07Forensically, they were able to connect the two murders.
21:15At that time, the DNA only confirmed what police already knew.
21:19In the years before CODIS, the evidence could only be compared to a known suspect.
21:26And they still didn't have one.
21:32In fact, the investigation seemed like it might stall.
21:37So Phoenix police turned to the FBI for help.
21:41The FBI got involved and created a profile of a killer.
21:44Could you summarize their profile?
21:46They indicated that he may have been in his 20s, that he had some slight degree of organization.
21:53But it was a final detail of the report that had police most concerned.
21:59They indicated that the killer would not stop.
22:02Investigators were on the hunt for the twisted killer, responsible for the murders of Melanie Bernas and Angela Brasso.
22:23You've seen a lot of sadistic crimes.
22:28How would you characterize the killer?
22:31Absolutely savage.
22:36Probably the worst human you could ever imagine.
22:46Police tried everything they could to generate a leak.
22:49Even releasing photos of the bathing suit Melanie was found in.
22:57Hopefully somebody would say, well, you know, I have my bathing suit like that stolen.
23:03The tips flooded in.
23:04And while officers tried to follow up on all of them, the task was overwhelming.
23:11Detectives worked day and night to eliminate any potential suspect.
23:16But after 15 years of tireless work, the cases were no closer to being solved than they were when the murders first happened.
23:32Then, in 2008, Detective Troy Hillman took over the Phoenix Police Department's cold case unit and started the investigations over from scratch.
23:43I printed out these massive reports and I read painstakingly through them.
23:48At the end, I was like, wow, we never caught this guy.
23:55Hillman assembled a crack team on the case, but the task would be daunting.
24:01We didn't have eyewitnesses.
24:02We didn't have any phone data.
24:04We didn't have any connection between the two girls.
24:07We just had two dead young ladies on the canal bank.
24:13Even the FBI's chilling warning that the killer wouldn't stop appeared wrong.
24:21In the 18 years since Melanie's murder, there had been no further attacks.
24:27It seemed the killer had vanished.
24:31The team spoke with experts around the country who were convinced the suspect's name was somewhere in their massive case file.
24:39That meant pouring over countless reports to revisit persons of interest who had never been scientifically ruled out.
24:49The first was a professor at Angela's College.
24:52What was it about him that ended up putting him in your crosshairs?
25:01It seemed like he had a little affection for Angela, maybe made an advance at her and she turned it down.
25:08And his background raised more red flags.
25:17What did you come to find out?
25:18This guy was a major in the special forces in the army.
25:22Your average Joe Smith on the street is not going to be able to do this kind of kill.
25:27Investigators tracked down the former professor to collect a sample of his DNA.
25:38A couple of weeks later, the DNA supervisor called me and said, hey, Troy, it's not your guy.
25:47Investigators looked into other names as well.
25:50You also looked into someone who had worked at a Circle K. Why was he a person of interest?
25:56There were several tips that had come in over the years where he was trying to sell a bike right after both murders.
26:04He had an extensive rap sheet for violence against women.
26:07He was a Vietnam veteran. He took a polygraph. He failed.
26:14So we needed to get his DNA.
26:15Once again, investigators got a warrant and obtained a sample.
26:21We gave the DNA to our lab.
26:23A couple of weeks later, no, it's not him. Disappointment.
26:32Months turned into years as suspect after suspect was rolled out.
26:38I actually had a white dry erase board where I would just mark these guys off.
26:42And there was a heartache associated with each one.
26:44But this is the process of elimination.
26:48You just got to pick yourself up and go to the next one.
26:55It appeared the investigation had nowhere left to turn when the team was approached by Dr.
27:01Colleen Fitzpatrick about a new type of DNA technology, forensic genealogy.
27:07She said all she needed to trace the suspect's family tree was his DNA profile.
27:14Although senior officials in the Phoenix Police Department were skeptical, the cold case team convinced them it was worth a try.
27:22You're going to take this DNA sequence and give us a surname.
27:26It's like, I don't know how that works, but we'll give it a whirl.
27:32We had nothing to lose at that point.
27:34What name did you receive after submitting the DNA code?
27:40I'll never forget this.
27:41I got this call from Dr. Fitzpatrick and she said, Troy, the surname is Miller.
27:46At first, it seemed like the very common last name was the final blow.
27:55Miller is, I think, the seventh most common name in the United States.
27:59But Detective Hillman was undaunted.
28:02He remained convinced that he didn't need to check every Miller in the country.
28:07He only had to review the ones mentioned in his massive case file.
28:13There was five files of Miller.
28:15I shut the door in my office and I started looking through them.
28:19And after he read those decades-old reports, Detective Hillman was certain he had found his killer.
28:28It was Miller.
28:38Phoenix police trying to solve the murders of Melanie Bernis and Angela Brasso had gotten a huge break
28:46when forensic genealogist Colleen Fitzpatrick gave them the name at the top of their killer's family tree.
28:53It was Miller.
28:54And a search revealed five potential suspects who carried that surname in the case's massive file.
29:03Detective Troy Hillman carefully read each report.
29:07I got the first one, no, nothing really there.
29:10The second, Miller, not too exciting.
29:12The third one, Brian Patrick Miller.
29:14Reeked of serial killer.
29:18Reeked.
29:21There was some stuff in his file that made the hair on the back of your neck stand out.
29:28Starting with a lead that had placed Brian Miller's name in the case file decades earlier.
29:35An anonymous tip came in in the mid-90s.
29:37He had said, I saw Brian Patrick Miller with this body suit.
29:47The anonymous tipster claimed he had seen Miller with a turquoise one-piece bathing suit
29:54that matched the description of the one Melanie Bernis had been found in.
29:58Somehow, the lead had never been followed up on.
30:07But now, 22 years later, as Detective Hillman studied Brian Miller's criminal history,
30:14he was certain that allowing the tip to fall through the cracks had been a major mistake.
30:22What was it that you saw in his file that made you believe that?
30:26As a juvenile, he had ran up and stabbed a woman in the back.
30:31And the stab wound was very similar to the location of where Angela and Melanie's were.
30:42Brian said he got a tingly sensation up his spine when he stabbed her.
30:46Did that victim survive?
30:50She did.
30:50Did he serve time for that crime?
30:53Yeah, he went to the juvenile correctional facility.
30:56He was released from there when he turned 18.
31:03But before he was released, Miller's own mother added something to his file that now seemed critical.
31:10A note she found in her son's room.
31:13It was a handwritten document that went over what he wanted to do to a fantasy victim.
31:20The details were chilling.
31:22Some of the stuff listed in the plan is what had happened to Angela and Melanie.
31:31Everything detectives had discovered about Brian Miller, coupled with the genealogy report
31:37that linked his family tree to both crimes, made the next step obvious.
31:43It was an immediate all-hands-on-deck, we need this guy's DNA.
31:47And Miller wasn't hard to find.
31:50The now 42-year-old single father of one was living in Phoenix, and had become well-known in the area for his eccentric hobby.
31:59We started looking at social media.
32:02He was into zombies.
32:06He was a loner.
32:08Just a little strange.
32:10In fact, Miller had become infamous for driving around the city in a former police car with the words,
32:17zombie hunter, emblazoned on its back.
32:20Investigators immediately put Miller under surveillance.
32:29But their suspect was incredibly careful with anything he touched that had his DNA on it.
32:36It took weeks before police were able to surreptitiously get a sample.
32:40Then, after they finally obtained his profile, the entire cold case team gathered to wait for
32:48the results of the crime lab's testing.
32:51The door bust open to the conference room, and it's Kelly and her whole team of scientists.
32:58And she said, you got them.
33:01The supervisor said it's a zombie hunter.
33:08Share with me what that meant to you.
33:11It was overwhelming.
33:12But at that point, it was, we need to go put handcuffs on this guy and remove him from society.
33:22In January of 2015, Brian Miller was arrested for the murders of Melanie Bernas and Angela Brassen.
33:30News of his arrest made headlines across the city of Phoenix.
33:42I can count five days in my life that were the most meaningful and impactful,
33:45and the day he was captured was definitely one.
33:48The story also sent shockwaves across the country.
33:52Miller's picture was everywhere.
33:54And for Victoria Michelson, seeing his face brought back memories of the worst moments of her life.
34:05In 2000, she had been attacked on a wooded path leading to her school bus in Everett, Washington.
34:13I was walking and I saw this tall, dark shadow come out of the side brush off of the trail.
34:22He came up behind me and put his arm around my shoulders.
34:27Victoria, who was just 14 at the time, saw the large blade in the man's hand as she fell to the ground.
34:35He stabbed me twice in the back.
34:38Did you have the strength to scream?
34:40No.
34:41I couldn't move, couldn't do anything.
34:44And then he strangled me until I passed out.
34:46Amazingly, a passerby found Victoria clinging to life, and surgeons were able to save her.
35:00Did you actually see your attacker's face?
35:03His face was like imprinted into my brain.
35:06I remember looking into his eyes and seeing the black pit of emptiness.
35:1115 years later, Victoria called Phoenix police to say that she now knew that those eyes belonged to Brian Miller.
35:27How certain was she that Miller was her attacker?
35:30She was 100 percent absolutely that's him.
35:34Although police had no physical evidence to connect Miller to the attack on Victoria,
35:44they had more than enough for a search warrant back in Arizona.
35:49And the materials they found while searching his home were damning.
35:53We found hundreds of photos of women being bound, tortured, killed, disemboweled.
36:03Just an immense amount of violent pornography.
36:06He had a lot of saws and knives, a lot of stuff that really showed us a complete picture of who he was.
36:16I've been doing this job for 26 years. It's nothing that I ever saw before.
36:23Detective William Shira drew the challenging assignment of trying to get Miller to confess.
36:32What's going on?
36:34What was your strategy when you interrogated Miller?
36:37Just try to keep him talking.
36:40The plan seemed to work.
36:42Miller admitted to riding his bike on the area's many scenic trails,
36:47but claimed he was too frightened to go on the path where the attacks had happened.
36:52Why would you be scared of that?
36:54Dark, vulnerable. I have fear of people.
37:00Anytime I would get more specific about what had happened,
37:03he said he didn't know the girls, had never killed anybody.
37:10When police confronted Miller with the DNA evidence, his calm veneer began to crack.
37:16I think the hard part for me to believe is that my scene was with two people that are dead.
37:23That places you with these women.
37:25And I don't even recall them. I don't know their names.
37:29You didn't have to know their names if you killed them.
37:32Which I did not do.
37:34I think some lawyer needs to be present now.
37:37No, that's fine.
37:39I am going to charge you with two murders and you are going to go to jail.
37:45After Detective Shira left the room, Miller continued talking to himself as the camera rolled.
37:52One question he asked himself seemed telling.
37:55For 20 plus years, he's been skating the system and had never been caught.
38:07And now we had his DNA.
38:09He was hiding in plain sight, taking pictures with police officers, a zombie hunter, mocking us and society.
38:17And time was up.
38:19Miller pled not guilty to two counts of murder, kidnapping and sexual assault by reason of insanity.
38:31He waived his right to a jury trial, opting to have his case heard by a judge.
38:36Mr. Miller suffers from complex dissociative disorders.
38:40The defense side was that because of all the trauma he had throughout his lifetime,
38:46that's why this happened and he doesn't remember.
38:49He said, I did it, but I blacked out.
38:53That's the closest that he admitted to doing it.
39:02After an arduous six months of testimony,
39:05Miller was found guilty of two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to death.
39:14What was his reaction to his death sentence?
39:17Mr. Miller was stoic, he had no real reaction, no remorse.
39:23He never accepted any type of responsibility.
39:27I take great pride that my team stopped him.
39:31Those closest to the two families know that Miller's ultimate fate is unimportant.
39:44Even final justice won't give them back what they have lost.
39:48And as Melanie's good friend Rachel thought about ways to properly honor their memory,
39:54she discovered an inscription in her high school yearbook she had never read.
40:00It was written by her friend during much happier times.
40:03Well, Chickie, we are going to be big juniors. Wow.
40:09We will totally have to do stuff over the summer.
40:12I say we take a little road trip up north. I hope we can stay friends throughout our lives. Love Mel.
40:19What do you want people to remember about Melanie?
40:23I don't want her to be just a photo. I want people to know how amazing she was.
40:27And she was taken from a lot of people.
40:34I don't think friends and family can ever fully recover from this type of tragedy,
40:38but I just want people to know that this amazing person touched so many lives.
40:44She's still in our hearts. She's still in our memories.
40:47And I know we'd be friends still today if this didn't happen.
40:51And police continue to investigate whether Brian Miller was responsible for other murders.
41:00We'll keep you posted on anything they find.
41:04I'm Paula Zahn. Please join us again next time when we're back on the case.
41:11On the next on the case. What did you actually see?
41:16Amanda lying face down, blood around her.
41:19My absolute worst nightmare.
41:22It struck some people as odd that he just sat in the driveway and his wife is inside dying.
41:26Why would somebody shoot Amanda?
