00:00He gets his inheritance this afternoon, that's why we're moving.
00:05We're going to bear all our bills off that we need to pay off, and then take a long vacation.
00:10Less than 24 hours from this footage, Ina Thea Knoyer's husband, Steve Riley,
00:17was lifelighted to the hospital due to a sudden sickness that immobilized his body.
00:23Within an hour of being at the hospital, he would pass away.
00:30I thought everybody knew, I'm sorry.
00:33What the cop doesn't realize at this time, is that Ina is a very good actor,
00:41and she knows far more about Steve's sickness than she leads on.
00:46You see, Steve was less than an hour away from cashing in a $37 million inheritance payment
00:53when he became fatally ill.
00:55And as the multi-week investigation would progress,
00:59detectives would quickly discover that Steve's death was due to poisoning.
01:04Someone had killed him.
01:06And everyone close to Steve all had dire needs to claim his newfound fortune by any means necessary.
01:14It was like $20-something million.
01:17Best thing you can do is get on a plane and don't look back.
01:30Police department!
01:32It's the police department! It's not Jeff!
01:34This body cam was recorded the night before Steve Riley's death.
01:39Steve and Ina's drunken neighbor had been harassing them and other residents of the neighborhood,
01:44so Ina called 911 to de-escalate the situation.
01:47What makes this specific footage interesting is not the situation with their drunken neighbor,
01:52but rather what Ina would tell police after,
01:55her $37 million inheritance fund that she's just hours away from cashing in.
02:01Sorry!
02:02You thought it was Chad?
02:03Yeah!
02:03Who was Chad on the door?
02:04He probably kicked in everybody's door.
02:06Who was he on the door?
02:07He even busted to my light and looked at the garbage cans.
02:10Who was you fighting with?
02:12Uh, my fiancé.
02:15He went for a walk and pulled down.
02:17Who was your fiancé?
02:18Steve Riley.
02:20Steve Riley?
02:20Yeah.
02:21Okay.
02:21What's your name?
02:23Ina.
02:24Okay.
02:24Is your fiancé hurt at all?
02:26Uh, he got gash on his forehead.
02:29Okay.
02:30You know, we just want to talk with him, too,
02:32just to make sure he's all right if possible.
02:36There's blood all the way over there.
02:38That's good.
02:39So what actually happened tonight?
02:41What were they fighting over?
02:42Chad was trying to kick in the door.
02:45Just for no reason or just...
02:46Just drunk.
02:47He does that.
02:48Where do you think your fiancé would have went
02:50so we could just get inside the story real quick?
02:52Oh, I don't know.
02:54So you got a phone on him?
02:55No.
02:55We don't have a phone until this afternoon.
02:58But this is where Ina reveals something she shouldn't have.
03:01Their plans to pay off all of their bills,
03:04which had, over the years, been racking up.
03:06And she does this for one reason.
03:09To brag.
03:10He gets his inheritance this afternoon.
03:13That's why we're moving.
03:14We're going to pay all our bills off
03:18that we need to pay off.
03:21His lawyer gets here today at 2.
03:23Okay.
03:23Just on the paperwork for his money.
03:25Okay.
03:26And then he's going to go pay that.
03:29And his lawyer is going to pay the rest of his child's more.
03:33And then take a long vacation.
03:34According to Ina,
03:38Steve is set to receive an inheritance from his late uncle tomorrow,
03:42which supposedly is enough money to turn their lives around completely.
03:46What police don't realize at this time
03:49is how enormous this inheritance sum really is.
03:52In 2016, Steve's friend had received a call from a man named Marcus Riley,
04:00who claimed to be Steve's long-lost uncle from Ireland.
04:03It explained that he finally wanted to get in touch with his nephew, Steve.
04:07After connecting with each other,
04:09Steve had learned he was in line to receive an inheritance upon his uncle's passing,
04:14which was a sum of over $17 million at the time.
04:18This was enough to permanently fix the financial struggles he and Ina had been dealing with.
04:23A couple of years later,
04:25four months prior to the footage you just watched,
04:28Steve would learn of his uncle's passing from a British lawyer who had contacted him.
04:32Additionally, he would learn that his $17 million inheritance
04:35had grown to over $30 million due to his uncle's successful investments over the years.
04:41That's why Ina cannot hold herself from boasting to the police.
04:45Tomorrow, they plan to meet with their lawyer to officially sign the documents
04:49and claim the $30 million inheritance fund.
04:53The two plan to take the money and live with Steve's long-lost family in Ireland,
04:58quote,
04:59living in the castles.
05:01In less than 24 hours, Ina will be rich.
05:05So as officers leave for the night,
05:08Ina would make one final statement
05:10about how her life was about to change forever.
05:15If you want to step back inside,
05:16and then if Steve shows back up,
05:18we're going to try to look for him to get his side of the story as well.
05:20But if Steve shows back up,
05:21if you just want to give us a call or have him give us a call,
05:24we'll talk to him then, okay?
05:25Yeah.
05:25He's going to stop by anyways, like I said.
05:27Sounds good.
05:28I've only been able to put like $5 on his fines,
05:31but at least it was something.
05:32Okay.
05:33Sounds good.
05:34We're going to pay it all off all at once.
05:37Perfect.
05:37Thank you.
05:38Steve would return to his and Ina's apartment that night,
05:42and the two would patiently wait,
05:45not being able to sleep,
05:46as they counted down the hours
05:48until they would receive their millions.
05:51The plan to receive the funds was simple.
05:53At 2 p.m.,
05:54the group would go to the airport to meet their lawyer,
05:57who was flying in with their inheritance paperwork.
06:00Ina and Steve obliged,
06:01and would arrive at the airport
06:02alongside their two friends,
06:04Billy and Wes,
06:05before patiently waiting.
06:07However,
06:08while they were waiting for the lawyer's arrival,
06:11Steve would become extremely sick.
06:14He would claim feeling drunk,
06:16even throwing up in the airport bathrooms.
06:18His heart rate was rapidly increasing,
06:21and his condition worsened
06:22to the point where Wes decided to take him home
06:24to help him treat his sickness.
06:27Ina would wait at the airport for the lawyer to arrive.
06:30However,
06:31he would never show up.
06:33And after a couple of hours,
06:35with no lawyer,
06:36no money,
06:37and a sick fiancé,
06:39she would return home as well.
06:43Everyone believed that Steve had suffered from a heat stroke,
06:47as a result of working on his truck for hours that morning.
06:50But Steve's symptoms were far more fatal
06:52than the heat strokes he had received in the past,
06:55even experiencing fatal signs of kidney failure throughout the night.
06:59and in the morning,
07:01Steve would become completely unresponsive,
07:05forcing Ina to call 911.
07:08911, what's your emergency?
07:10Uh, my husband's really sick.
07:14He got heat stroke yesterday,
07:15and now he's not waking up.
07:19And,
07:20come on, wake up!
07:22What's the phone number you're calling from?
07:24I don't have a phone number.
07:25It's a phone number.
07:28It's a phone number that never got finished getting set up.
07:31Come on, babe!
07:37I've been trying everything.
07:38Ice,
07:39water,
07:40Okay,
07:42but he is breathing?
07:44Yes.
07:45He's snoring.
07:47He won't talk to me anymore.
07:49He won't look at me.
07:50He won't open his eyes.
07:52Okay,
07:52I've got help on the way.
07:54Just keep an eye on his breathing.
07:55If anything changes with his breathing,
07:57tell me immediately.
08:02Hello?
08:02Yeah.
08:10It's Officer Sullivan,
08:11mine on PD.
08:12Yeah,
08:12hang on.
08:17By the way,
08:18he's right here.
08:19Inside the home,
08:23officers would find Steve
08:24fully unresponsive.
08:26They would drag him out of the house
08:28through piles of trash and filth.
08:31Quickly,
08:31he was rushed to the nearest hospital,
08:33but with his condition so poor,
08:35he would be flown to the St. Alexis Hospital
08:37to undergo more professional treatment.
08:40But before we get to that,
08:41I want to help you protect yourself
08:43and your family
08:44from something that can ruin your life.
08:47Identity theft.
08:48Aura,
08:49the sponsor of today's video,
08:50helps protect you and your loved ones
08:52against exactly that.
08:54Have you ever googled yourself,
08:55a family member,
08:56or a loved one?
08:57If so,
08:58you've probably been shocked
08:59by how much information is out there.
09:00And this is not even mentioning
09:02what companies,
09:03data brokers,
09:04and scammers might know about you.
09:06In 2024,
09:07during the national public data breach,
09:09a friend of mine's name
09:10and social security number got leaked,
09:12which could have allowed malicious people
09:14to open credit cards
09:15and take out loans in his name.
09:17Luckily,
09:17he caught it in time
09:18and could take precautions,
09:19but over 2.9 billion records
09:21were stolen in that data breach,
09:23and many of those people involved
09:24don't even realize
09:26their information is out there.
09:27Aura will help you take
09:28those precautions today
09:29by removing your personal information
09:31from data brokers
09:32and people search sites
09:33that can sell your info
09:34to identity thieves,
09:35scammers,
09:35and much more.
09:37I'm not leaving myself
09:38and my family vulnerable
09:39to data breaches and brokers,
09:40and if you don't want to either,
09:42you can go to
09:43www.ara.com
09:45slash
09:45Dr. Insanity
09:46to try two weeks for free.
09:48Enough time for Aura
09:50to find out
09:50if any of your personal data
09:51is exposed.
09:52After Steve was flown
09:54to the hospital,
09:56Ina would explain
09:57to the officers
09:57that Steve had gotten
09:58a heat stroke
09:59which caused his illness.
10:01The officers had no reason
10:02not to believe her story,
10:04so they would comfort her
10:05throughout the day
10:06as Steve was being treated.
10:08Unfortunately,
10:09Steve would never again
10:11regain consciousness.
10:14This is Billy Burkhead,
10:17Steve and Ina's neighbor,
10:18and he was with Steve and Ina
10:20the entire day
10:21of his sudden sickness.
10:22even working on the truck
10:23with Steve
10:24and traveling with him
10:25to the airport.
10:26Billy simply refused
10:27to believe
10:28that Steve's death
10:29was caused by heat stroke,
10:30especially since Steve
10:32seemed perfectly fine
10:33all day
10:34until they reached
10:34the airport.
10:35Instead,
10:36Billy suspected
10:37something far more sinister
10:39and wanted to share
10:40his theory
10:41with the detectives.
10:42So,
10:43the day after Steve's death,
10:45Billy would call officers
10:46back to apartment 912A
10:48to detail his side
10:49of the story.
10:50We think she poisoned me.
10:52I'm almost sure
10:54she poisoned me.
10:55So,
10:55what's your plan right now?
10:57We're making sure
10:57nothing goes.
10:59Because you know
11:00when they go to jail
11:01as it does.
11:01I mean,
11:02how long are you going
11:03to stay here?
11:04I'll stay here
11:05until his son gets here.
11:06Oh.
11:07When's his son
11:08supposed to get here?
11:09He's not dead!
11:10I told you!
11:11Stop!
11:11He's not!
11:13He's dead.
11:13and he was poisoned.
11:17Billy's explanation
11:18for Steve's death
11:20is,
11:21well,
11:21horrifying.
11:23If Ina truly did
11:24poison Steve,
11:26then his symptoms
11:26would make sense
11:28and would add up
11:29far more than the idea
11:31of him having a heat stroke.
11:33However,
11:34why would Ina
11:35want to poison her husband
11:36if they were about
11:37to live such a good life?
11:39Well,
11:40Billy seems to have
11:41the exact answer
11:42to that question.
11:44The other day,
11:45she threw all
11:45the stuff out
11:46out of the yard.
11:48From his house?
11:49Yeah.
11:50And he come out
11:50and he was holding
11:51his head down.
11:53And then we're supposed
11:53to go up to the airport
11:54and meet this guy
11:56because he's supposed
11:57to get quite a bit
11:58of money.
11:59Come back,
12:00we had to help him
12:00out of the car,
12:02had to help him
12:02in the house.
12:03And everything
12:04was fine.
12:06And Billy
12:06come home,
12:07and then the next morning
12:08she's throwing
12:09all this stuff out.
12:10She was supposed
12:11to call the ambulance.
12:12She never called the ambulance.
12:14Billy thinks
12:15that Ina was secretly
12:16planning to split
12:17with Steve
12:18after the inheritance
12:19was received,
12:20even going so far
12:21as to throw his belongings
12:22out of the house
12:23after they returned
12:23from the airport.
12:25Even worse
12:25is that Ina lied
12:27about getting help
12:28for Steve
12:29after they returned
12:29from the airport,
12:31pretending to take him
12:32to get treated,
12:33when in reality,
12:34they never left the house.
12:36Unfortunately,
12:37Ina overheard
12:38all of this talk
12:39and decided
12:40to give Billy
12:41a piece
12:41of her own mind.
12:44I'm taking off.
12:45I'm not worthy of
12:46violent violence.
12:48Stay here,
12:49all right.
12:51Hey,
12:51stay out here.
12:52Hey, stay out here.
12:53I need to take a picture.
12:54Picture of what?
12:55Beauty.
12:57Why is it?
12:57Why is it?
12:58Try it.
13:00All right,
13:00you can sit over here.
13:04Steve collapsed
13:04yesterday.
13:05went to the hospital
13:08and I found out
13:09it was poised.
13:12How'd you find that out?
13:14I'm not going to tell you.
13:16I'm just telling you,
13:17son,
13:18don't ever stop
13:19after that.
13:20They're nasty people.
13:22They're nasty.
13:23Ina coincidentally
13:25seemed to put the blame
13:26on the neighbors,
13:27calling them evil people.
13:29It's become more clear
13:31that Steve's death
13:32was far more sinister
13:34than officers
13:35had first expected.
13:36Officers now
13:37had a potential
13:38homicide case
13:39to investigate,
13:40but as they went
13:41to leave,
13:42one officer
13:43accidentally broke
13:44the news to Ina
13:45that her fiancé
13:46had passed away.
13:47I thought everybody
13:53knew I'm sorry.
13:53I guess the sun
14:04is on his way
14:05here.
14:10Okay.
14:11Apparently the sun
14:12is on the way
14:12here.
14:14So.
14:15Your sun better
14:16put the wand.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Ina's reaction
14:20to her husband's
14:22passing
14:22is one of the
14:23strangest I've ever
14:24seen.
14:25She starts
14:26bawling her eyes out
14:27then suddenly jumps
14:29right back
14:29to her normal self
14:30as if she hadn't
14:32even heard the
14:32terrible news
14:33to begin with.
14:34It's becoming
14:35more and more clear
14:35that something
14:36is not adding up.
14:38Billy was not
14:39the only person
14:40to initially
14:41put the blame
14:41on Ina.
14:42In fact,
14:43he was only
14:44one of many
14:45who would come
14:46forward with
14:46their concerns.
14:48In fact,
14:48Billy's wife,
14:49Lynn,
14:50had stated that
14:51Ina had made
14:52horrifying statements
14:53in the past
14:53alluding that
14:54if she was to
14:55ever kill her
14:56partner,
14:57she would poison
14:58him using
14:59an antifreeze.
15:00To add to the
15:01pile of already
15:02incriminating
15:03information,
15:04Steve would be
15:04tested for
15:05ethylene glycol
15:06in his bloodstream,
15:07a key ingredient
15:08in antifreeze.
15:09To nobody's
15:10surprise,
15:11the results
15:11showed toxic
15:12levels of
15:13ethylene glycol
15:14in his system.
15:15This information
15:16would serve as
15:17the catalyst
15:17for initiating
15:18a formal homicide
15:19investigation
15:20into the death
15:21of Steve Riley.
15:22Following the
15:23commencement of
15:23the investigation,
15:24a series of
15:25intensive interrogations
15:26would be conducted
15:27with all parties
15:28connected to the
15:29incident,
15:29including Ina,
15:30to ultimately
15:31solve Steve's murder.
15:33However,
15:34before that,
15:35Ina would launch
15:36a plan of
15:36her own.
15:38It must have
15:39been made
15:39apparent to her
15:40that she was
15:40in hot water,
15:41as the day
15:42after this
15:43encounter with
15:43the police,
15:44she would call
15:44them back
15:45to apartment
15:45912A
15:46to explain
15:47theories of
15:48her own.
15:48Hi.
15:51Hi.
15:52He came in.
15:54Okay, what's
15:55going on?
15:55I don't know.
15:56We've been here.
15:57He keeps trying
15:57to take Steve's
15:59truck.
16:00Where's the truck
16:00at?
16:01In the garage.
16:02Is this the
16:02paperwork on
16:03the thing?
16:03No, no, no.
16:04This is a
16:05property
16:07that Steve was
16:09buying
16:09after his
16:11inheritance got
16:12here.
16:12I think he
16:13left it to
16:13his son,
16:13but I had
16:16to Google
16:16where to
16:18go to get
16:20his inheritance
16:20switched over
16:21to the people
16:23he left it to.
16:25I don't know.
16:26I don't know.
16:26The day he was
16:27supposed to meet
16:28his lawyer,
16:30apparently,
16:31I thought it was
16:32he's truck.
16:34Apparently,
16:34he was poisoned.
16:36I'm fighting
16:37out with
16:38Anafries.
16:40Alright.
16:40And I don't
16:41know how to
16:42get a hold of
16:42a guy in
16:43London.
16:43with an
16:44inheritance.
16:45You should
16:46be here in
16:47town.
16:48You never
16:48showed up
16:49at the
16:49airport.
16:50Yeah.
16:50I'm going to
16:51figure out
16:51why.
16:53Ana seems
16:54to conspire
16:55to the idea
16:55that Steve
16:56may have
16:57drank the
16:57antifreeze
16:58himself,
16:59or that
16:59someone may
16:59have poisoned
17:00him.
17:01However,
17:01despite all
17:02the suspicion
17:03being thrown
17:04her way,
17:05she can only
17:05stay on track
17:06for minutes
17:06before going
17:07back on
17:08tangents
17:08about her
17:09inheritance
17:09fund.
17:10It was
17:10clear at
17:11this point
17:11that somebody
17:12had poisoned
17:13Steve.
17:14The idea
17:14of this
17:15being self-inflicted
17:16was unlikely
17:17as Steve
17:18had a life-changing
17:19amount of money
17:20waiting for him
17:21and would have
17:21had to drink
17:22the antifreeze
17:23just hours
17:24before going
17:24to claim the
17:25cash.
17:27Clearly,
17:28Ina can be made
17:29out as the lead
17:29suspect due to
17:31the amount of
17:31fingers being
17:32pointed her way,
17:33but the other
17:33potential suspects
17:34should not be
17:35ruled out either.
17:36With this in mind,
17:38officers would bring
17:38their first suspect
17:40in for questioning,
17:41Rebecca.
17:42Rebecca was
17:42another neighbor
17:43of Ina and
17:43Steve's who
17:44was very involved
17:45with the entire
17:46case so far,
17:47pitching her opinion
17:48to police
17:48whenever she could.
17:49Rebecca was
17:50brought in
17:50primarily to
17:51add to the
17:52pile of evidence
17:52to confront
17:53Ina with later,
17:54but as the
17:55interview would
17:55continue,
17:56strange red flags
17:57would arise
17:58from Rebecca's
17:59odd personality.
18:01You guys
18:02know my
18:02daughter?
18:03Yeah,
18:04how's she
18:04doing?
18:06Yesterday,
18:07God works
18:08on Mr.
18:09Rissway,
18:10she was
18:11arrested,
18:11released.
18:12She said,
18:13this is,
18:15the demons
18:16that are in
18:18her,
18:18the spirits
18:18that follow
18:19her,
18:20was able
18:20to change
18:21her buttcheeks,
18:22so maybe
18:23they'll stop
18:24following her
18:24now,
18:25she said.
18:26Well,
18:26hopefully she
18:27gets the
18:27help she needs.
18:28I pray she
18:28does.
18:29Starting
18:30off a
18:31homicide
18:31interview,
18:32explaining how
18:33demons left
18:34your daughter's
18:34butt is an
18:35interesting way
18:36of proving
18:37your innocence,
18:38but the
18:38detective isn't
18:39here to judge,
18:40rather,
18:41to get to the
18:42bottom of
18:42Steve's death,
18:43so he'll
18:44ignore these
18:45strange remarks.
18:46It sounds like
18:47you might know
18:49something.
18:49I'm a nosy
18:50neighbor.
18:50It's good,
18:51I like it.
18:52Well,
18:52I know,
18:53I know what
18:54cause belong,
18:55what cause
18:56don't,
18:57who lives
18:59in my
18:59neighborhood,
18:59who doesn't,
19:01so yes.
19:01That's good.
19:02We're
19:03investigating
19:03Steve's
19:04passing just
19:04because it
19:05sounds like
19:05maybe there's
19:06something suspicious
19:08about what
19:08happened.
19:09I know,
19:09whatever I
19:10know.
19:10How long
19:11have Steve
19:11and Ina
19:12lived there
19:12that you
19:13know of?
19:13Approximately
19:14two years.
19:16Okay.
19:16How was
19:17their relationship
19:18that you
19:18know of?
19:18The first
19:19year was
19:19Steve was
19:21looking great,
19:22doing great
19:23the past
19:24year.
19:24I don't
19:25know if
19:25she suffers
19:26from mental
19:26illness at
19:27times,
19:28but her
19:29mental state
19:31went downhill
19:31the past
19:32year.
19:33Okay.
19:33When you
19:33lose weight,
19:34when you're
19:34not acting
19:35right,
19:36shady stuff
19:37going on,
19:39you're not
19:39working.
19:40Yes,
19:40he was,
19:43and it got
19:43worse the
19:45past couple
19:45months.
19:46months.
19:47It seems
19:48as though
19:48Steve's
19:48life wasn't
19:50as straightforward
19:51as initially
19:51thought,
19:52having drug
19:53issues,
19:54weight loss,
19:55and possibly
19:56depression.
19:57Whether or
19:57not Ina was
19:58a large
19:59contributor to
19:59these deteriorating
20:00issues is
20:01something they
20:02will soon
20:02learn,
20:03as this
20:03interview would
20:04become a
20:05pivotal piece
20:05of evidence,
20:06laying the
20:06groundwork to
20:07dismantle her
20:08defense entirely
20:09during the
20:09interrogation.
20:11It got worse
20:12the past
20:13couple months.
20:14You think
20:15likely?
20:16is that
20:16theme?
20:16Probably,
20:17yes.
20:18Do you think
20:18she was
20:19using?
20:19Yeah.
20:19Okay.
20:20And alcohol
20:21use too.
20:22Okay.
20:22Yes.
20:22Both of
20:23them with
20:23alcohol?
20:24Okay.
20:24So Steve
20:25had mentioned
20:25before,
20:26like in the
20:26past,
20:27about getting
20:28money?
20:28Yes.
20:29How many,
20:29like?
20:30Two million.
20:30The amount
20:31Steve had
20:32planned to
20:32receive was
20:33something he
20:34kept very
20:35secret,
20:36often lying to
20:37people like
20:37Rebecca on
20:38how much he
20:39was actually
20:39getting.
20:40As we'll
20:41soon find
20:41out,
20:42this number
20:43was much,
20:44much larger
20:44than two
20:45million.
20:47His uncle
20:48passed away,
20:49um,
20:49yes.
20:50First,
20:50he said he
20:51was gonna
20:51leave it to
20:52Ina,
20:52and then they
20:53were fighting,
20:54and a couple
20:55months later,
20:55he said he
20:56went back and
20:57changed the
20:57will.
20:58He told me,
20:59he was like,
20:59don't tell Ina,
21:00but I changed
21:01it.
21:01This statement
21:02from Rebecca
21:03would explain
21:04what Ina was
21:05talking about
21:05last time she
21:06spoke to police,
21:07and how she
21:08was trying to
21:08switch the
21:09will over from
21:10Steve's son
21:11to herself.
21:13If Ina
21:13discovered his
21:14plan,
21:15it would have
21:15given her a
21:16strong incentive
21:16to do whatever
21:17it took to
21:18change the
21:19will back in
21:19her favor,
21:20possibly by
21:21any means
21:22necessary.
21:23because it
21:24started five
21:24months,
21:25and he told
21:25me,
21:25yeah,
21:26I got a
21:26will,
21:26I'm leaving
21:27everything to
21:27Ina if
21:28something
21:28happens,
21:29and then it
21:30seemed like
21:30two months
21:31after that,
21:31he's like,
21:32that's
21:32you can't
21:33milk in,
21:34because she's
21:35a bitch.
21:36Okay,
21:36so that was
21:37your thing?
21:37Yeah,
21:38that's how
21:38he,
21:39yeah.
21:39Was he ever
21:40talking about
21:40leaving Ina?
21:41Yes.
21:42Okay.
21:43You know,
21:43I'm gonna get
21:43this money and
21:44leave her,
21:45get my own
21:45place,
21:46so I'll go
21:46back to
21:47California.
21:48Okay.
21:48I met
21:49her son last
21:50night.
21:50Oh,
21:53he flew in,
21:56he came up
21:57to my
21:58apartment,
21:59but as
22:00he's leaving,
22:01she came up
22:02and knocked
22:03on my door.
22:04When he was
22:04up there?
22:04Yeah,
22:05to get him.
22:06I think she
22:07was nervous,
22:08it was like
22:09she was pissed
22:10he was up
22:10there,
22:11and then she's
22:11like,
22:12I just want
22:13to let you
22:13know I
22:14found the
22:14willpapers.
22:15So she
22:16said in front
22:16of you
22:16though that
22:17she found
22:17willpapers?
22:17Yes.
22:18Yep.
22:19Ina clearly
22:20had become
22:21obsessed with
22:22the idea
22:22that she
22:23was about
22:23to live
22:23the life
22:24of her
22:24dreams
22:25with Steve's
22:26inheritance.
22:27But after
22:27rumors of
22:28Steve leaving
22:29her,
22:29it seems
22:30Ina became
22:30terrified that
22:31she might
22:32not receive
22:32the funds
22:33and would
22:33be stuck
22:34with her
22:34depressive
22:35living
22:35conditions.
22:36It's now
22:37become obvious
22:38how these
22:38events and
22:39Steve's
22:40strange death
22:41could be
22:41correlated to
22:42one another.
22:43However,
22:44as Rebecca
22:44had stated
22:45herself,
22:46she was a
22:46nosy neighbor
22:47looking for
22:47any rumors
22:48or conspiracy
22:49theories to
22:50help solve
22:50the neighborhood
22:50drama.
22:51I've also
22:52cut out
22:52over 40
22:53minutes of
22:54completely
22:54false
22:54information
22:55Rebecca
22:55gave to
22:56detectives,
22:56which
22:57certainly
22:57doesn't
22:58add to
22:58her
22:58authenticity.
23:00In order
23:00to further
23:00confirm the
23:01accuracy of
23:02these claims,
23:03two more
23:03reliable sources
23:04would be brought
23:05in the following
23:05day,
23:06Steve's son
23:07Ryan and
23:08Billy Burkhead.
23:09If anyone
23:10would be able
23:10to give
23:11proper
23:11insight
23:11into
23:12Steve's
23:12life,
23:13it would
23:13be these
23:13two,
23:14as they
23:14were by
23:15far the
23:15closest
23:15people to
23:16Steve.
23:16Um,
23:17we're
23:18assigned
23:18the case
23:20of your
23:21dad's
23:21passing.
23:22You're
23:22really the
23:23only next
23:23of kin
23:24that maybe
23:26had a
23:27relationship
23:27with your
23:27dad,
23:28it sounds
23:28like?
23:28Yeah.
23:29Okay.
23:30Did he ever
23:30talk to you
23:30about Eno
23:31when you guys
23:32talked in
23:32the last year?
23:33Uh,
23:34yeah.
23:34he was
23:35talking about
23:36how he was
23:37getting a
23:38large sum
23:38of money
23:39and he
23:40kind of
23:40just wanted
23:41to leave
23:41her because
23:41she didn't
23:43really have
23:43a job
23:44and was
23:44like
23:44weeching
23:45off and
23:45all.
23:46Did
23:46Steve ever
23:47talk about
23:47leaving Eno?
23:49All the
23:50time.
23:50Okay.
23:50Every day.
23:52She was,
23:52she talked
23:53about poisoning
23:54Steve.
23:55Okay.
23:55And me.
23:56Because
23:57we're always
23:58together
23:58and she
23:59didn't like
24:00that.
24:01And I
24:01don't know
24:01how much
24:02it was.
24:02It's supposed
24:03to be,
24:03it's way
24:04up there
24:04in the
24:04money.
24:06It was
24:06like
24:0620-something
24:08million.
24:10Best thing
24:11you can
24:11do
24:12is get
24:13on the
24:13plane
24:14and don't
24:14look back.
24:17That's the
24:17best thing
24:18you can
24:18do.
24:19Almost
24:19every piece
24:20of information
24:21the detectives
24:21receive leads
24:22straight to
24:23Ina as
24:23the killer.
24:24It also
24:25makes sense
24:25why Ina
24:26hated Billy
24:27and Steve's
24:28son so
24:28much,
24:29as they
24:29knew far
24:30more information
24:31than she
24:31would have
24:31liked about
24:32the inheritance
24:32and her
24:33schemes to
24:34obtain it.
24:35These
24:35interviews
24:36wouldn't last
24:37long as
24:38detectives got
24:38all the
24:39information they
24:39needed from
24:40the two and
24:41could directly
24:41confront Ina
24:42with it.
24:43But before
24:44leaving,
24:45they would
24:45break disturbing
24:47news to
24:47Ryan,
24:48which would
24:49make this
24:49case even
24:50more of a
24:52terrible tragedy.
24:53So this
24:54inheritance
24:54now,
24:57I'm thinking
24:57that's the
24:58same thing
24:58we're thinking.
25:00Which,
25:00I mean,
25:01I don't,
25:02obviously I don't
25:03know for sure,
25:04but by all
25:05accounts of
25:05looking at it,
25:06it looks like
25:06it's a scam.
25:08Looks like
25:08it's a,
25:09I mean,
25:09the letter
25:10has different
25:10fonts in it
25:11and things,
25:12and so,
25:13and the fact
25:13that your dad
25:14has gone there
25:15several times
25:16to me that
25:16some lawyer
25:16never showed
25:17up to their
25:17report.
25:18That and all
25:19the emails
25:19that they
25:20tried to send
25:21back to
25:22the sender
25:23of little
25:24emails,
25:24it always
25:25came back
25:25undeliverable.
25:26The inheritance
25:27was a scam.
25:30Steve had
25:30lived for the
25:31past seven
25:32years under
25:33the impression
25:33that if he
25:34just patiently
25:34waited,
25:35living through
25:36his terrible
25:36living conditions,
25:37he would come
25:38out with more
25:39money than he
25:39could dream
25:40of and
25:41finally enjoy
25:42life.
25:42Even worse
25:43was that this
25:44very scam
25:45that stagnated
25:47his life
25:47for years
25:48may have
25:49been the
25:50cause
25:50of his
25:51very own
25:52death.
25:53With such
25:54a pity
25:54of a case,
25:55detectives
25:56would go on
25:56to interview
25:57a handful
25:58of other
25:58suspects
25:59in order
25:59to get
26:00as much
26:00information
26:01as they
26:01possibly
26:02could
26:02to help
26:03break down
26:03Ina's
26:04defense.
26:05And after
26:05multiple days
26:06of interviews,
26:07the day
26:07finally came
26:08to confront
26:09Ina
26:10with everything
26:10they've
26:11gathered.
26:12But despite
26:12all this
26:13evidence
26:13against her,
26:14officers knew
26:15they would have
26:15a hard time
26:16prosecuting Ina
26:17without a
26:17confession
26:18or incriminating
26:19statements.
26:20And that's
26:20exactly what
26:21they were
26:21determined to
26:22get.
26:23Inside this
26:24cut-down
26:24one-and-a-half
26:25hour interview,
26:26you'll see
26:27some of the
26:27most clever
26:28interrogation
26:29tactics I've
26:30ever shown
26:31on this
26:31channel.
26:32Slowly
26:32dismantling
26:33Ina's story
26:34until all
26:35she has
26:36left is an
26:37incoherent
26:38string of
26:39lies.
26:39So, like
26:43I said, we
26:44have been
26:44just talking
26:45to everyone,
26:46like Billy,
26:47Wes,
26:47everybody that
26:49kind of just
26:49knew Steve
26:49just to get
26:50an idea of
26:51what was
26:52going on
26:52in life.
26:53So, you
26:54and Steve
26:54were in a
26:55relationship?
26:57Yep.
26:57Okay, how
26:58long had you
26:58guys been
26:58together?
26:5915 years.
27:00Okay.
27:01Where did
27:01you guys meet?
27:02Home and
27:03shelters.
27:04In?
27:04Buffet dinner.
27:06In North Dakota?
27:07Washington.
27:07In Washington,
27:08okay.
27:08The detectives
27:09would go on
27:10to get more
27:11information about
27:11Ina and
27:12Steve's early
27:13relationship,
27:13but it wouldn't
27:14last long before
27:15Ina would start
27:16conspiring against
27:17Billy and
27:18others she
27:19wanted to
27:20paint as
27:20suspects.
27:22And I begged
27:23him to,
27:23you know,
27:24stay away.
27:25We've even
27:26gotten into
27:26fights.
27:27To stay
27:28away from
27:28Lynn?
27:29Billy and
27:29Lynn.
27:30Okay.
27:31I don't like
27:31calling people
27:32nasty, and
27:33I've seen,
27:35they've seen
27:35them worse than
27:36Steve because
27:36he's tall
27:37and mean-looking.
27:38people were
27:38intimidated by
27:40him.
27:40Okay.
27:40Just by
27:41his look.
27:42So what,
27:43why would you
27:43want him to
27:44stay away from
27:45Billy and
27:45Lynn?
27:46Because they're
27:46really, really
27:46nasty people.
27:47Okay.
27:48Felonies,
27:49breaking into
27:51places.
27:52I knew they
27:55did more
27:56than pot,
27:57you know,
27:58smoking more
27:58than pot.
28:00Did Steve
28:00smoke more
28:01than marijuana?
28:02No,
28:02he's allergic
28:03to marijuana.
28:04Okay.
28:04Like me.
28:05Did he use
28:05other drugs?
28:07Uh,
28:07not for the
28:09longest time.
28:10Was he
28:11using,
28:12who was
28:12using them?
28:13No.
28:14Okay.
28:15after that,
28:16after he got
28:17the max
28:18the last time,
28:19he's like,
28:21screw this.
28:21I'm gonna
28:22just do what I
28:23want and
28:23want what I
28:24want.
28:25Okay.
28:25So that's when
28:26he started using?
28:27I think so.
28:28Okay.
28:28This would be
28:30the first of
28:31Ina's lies
28:32during this
28:33interrogation.
28:34She knew Steve
28:34had been using
28:35long before
28:36the incident
28:36she described,
28:37but in order
28:38to make Billy
28:38seem like the
28:39villain in their
28:39lives,
28:40she wanted to
28:41make it seem
28:41as though
28:42he was the
28:42reason for
28:43Steve's drug
28:44use.
28:45Take note of
28:45Ina's body
28:46language while
28:47she clearly
28:47lies.
28:48She glances
28:49up and avoids
28:50eye contact,
28:51constantly fidgets
28:52and scratches
28:52her skin,
28:53and most notably
28:54stutters and
28:55slurs on her
28:56speech as she
28:57tries to make
28:58up a story.
28:59Keep this in
28:59mind for the
29:00rest of the
29:00interrogation,
29:01and you'll be
29:02able to accurately
29:03point out when
29:03Ina isn't telling
29:05the truth.
29:06But now,
29:06the police would
29:07ask her perhaps
29:08the most intriguing
29:09question.
29:10What exactly did
29:11she plan to do
29:12with the
29:13inheritance money?
29:14So when did
29:15he find out
29:15about this
29:16inheritance?
29:17I want to say
29:18three months ago,
29:19four months ago.
29:20So what is the
29:21inheritance?
29:22I know you had
29:23shown that first
29:24day Lieutenant
29:24Deaconette came,
29:25you showed us
29:26kind of that
29:27letter that was
29:28on Steve's phone.
29:28Mm-hmm.
29:30Is that,
29:31that's the
29:31inheritance?
29:32That was the
29:33letter?
29:34Okay.
29:34And he was
29:35talking to an
29:35actual lawyer,
29:36I guess,
29:38from London.
29:40So this lawyer
29:41reached out to him
29:42and said he's...
29:43I guess,
29:44I don't even know
29:44how he found out
29:45about it.
29:46He just,
29:46it just appeared.
29:49And he was
29:49reading that the
29:51money wasn't
29:51cursed or whatever.
29:53every single
29:55person that went
29:55for the
29:56Riley money
29:57over there,
29:58even this
29:5921-year-old,
30:01had passed away.
30:03Clearly,
30:04Ina is running
30:05out of resources
30:06to take suspicion
30:07off herself.
30:08And the detectives
30:08won't take long
30:10before making her
30:10abundantly aware
30:12of how horrible
30:13of a liar she is.
30:15But for now,
30:16they'd like to get
30:17some more information
30:17on this inheritance.
30:19And if Ina
30:20would admit to
30:21trying to claim
30:21it all for herself.
30:23How much money
30:24was it?
30:25It ended up,
30:27it was supposed
30:27to be 17 million,
30:2917 million
30:32500,000.
30:34So with all
30:35the properties
30:35sold off,
30:37it ended up
30:37being 37 million.
30:39So there was
30:40cash and then
30:41properties were sold.
30:42Yeah.
30:43Okay.
30:44So who was
30:45the home
30:45that's supposed
30:46to be coming
30:46from?
30:47Who was the
30:47family member?
30:49Marcus
30:49something Riley.
30:50Was that a
30:52brother or uncle?
30:54That was an uncle.
30:55Okay.
30:56Did he live
30:57somewhere?
30:58In Ireland.
30:59Okay.
31:00How did they get to,
31:01is it starting to be
31:02that the lawyer
31:02is starting to
31:03give him
31:04like a time
31:05that he's coming
31:06to Minot?
31:08Yeah.
31:09That's pretty much
31:09when he kept saying
31:11I'm going to show up
31:12at this time
31:12and Steve would
31:14write down there
31:15and he wasn't there.
31:17And then he'd get
31:18the email afterwards
31:19that he was
31:19but could come
31:21until later
31:22until later.
31:23Okay.
31:24The detectives
31:25would spend
31:25the next 25 minutes
31:27trying to understand
31:29Ina's timeline
31:30for the day
31:30they planned
31:31to receive
31:31the inheritance.
31:33Whenever she gave
31:33a time
31:34for when the group
31:34went to the airport,
31:36she would conveniently
31:36change that time
31:37entirely
31:38just a few minutes
31:39later.
31:39But one detail
31:41would stay the same.
31:42Unlike her original
31:43claims to officers
31:44on the day
31:45of the murder,
31:46she would insist
31:47that Steve
31:47had never gone
31:48to the airport
31:48but rather
31:50Wes had gone
31:51instead
31:52to represent Steve.
31:53This
31:54was confusing
31:55but Ina's reason
31:57as to why Steve
31:58couldn't make it
31:59to the airport
31:59would make
32:00just as little sense.
32:01because he was
32:03drinking beer
32:03all day,
32:04he was working
32:04in the garage,
32:05he was spray
32:06painting his truck
32:07with the doors
32:09and the windows
32:11closed,
32:12barely drinking
32:12any water.
32:14So he consumed
32:15almost a case
32:17of beer
32:17in...
32:18Oh, he
32:18drank more
32:19than that.
32:20Pay attention
32:21to Ina here.
32:22She's carefully
32:22crafting a story
32:23to deflect suspicion
32:24but the detectives
32:25came prepared.
32:27I've seen him
32:27drink a couple
32:28cases.
32:29But on that day...
32:29Steve had no traces
32:53of alcohol
32:54in his system
32:55the day of his death
32:56proven by a blood test
32:57and toxicology.
32:59So detectives know
33:00clearly Ina
33:01is lying through her teeth.
33:02So I just have
33:03a lot of concerns here,
33:05okay,
33:05and I'm just gonna
33:06be honest with you.
33:07You told the paramedics
33:08when they were there
33:09that morning
33:09or afternoon
33:10that he had been
33:10drinking till 5 in the morning.
33:12That he had been
33:13consuming alcohol.
33:14That's on body cam.
33:15Okay, you said
33:16he was drinking
33:16all day the day before
33:17and that he drank
33:18his last drink
33:19at 5 a.m.
33:20Okay, and now
33:21you're telling me...
33:21A tea!
33:22That's not what you say
33:23on this video, okay?
33:25I want to see
33:25this video, okay?
33:26Well, I'm not
33:27going to show you
33:27the body cam.
33:28I'm just telling you
33:28that that's
33:29what's on there.
33:31There's reports
33:32that Wes came
33:33to the house
33:34that morning
33:34and you said
33:35that Steve
33:36was at the
33:36walk-in clinic.
33:38He wasn't
33:38at the walk-in clinic.
33:38Because that's what...
33:39Steve didn't want
33:41to see Wes anymore.
33:42Okay, but Steve
33:42wasn't at the
33:43walk-in clinic.
33:44He was at the hospital.
33:45He wasn't
33:45at the hospital.
33:47He just left
33:48with the ambulance
33:49when Wes
33:50showed up there.
33:51that's not
33:52what's been
33:53reported to us.
33:54Wes was there
33:54prior to.
33:55Yeah, the time
33:56stamps prove that.
33:57I want a lawyer.
33:58Okay, that's fine.
34:00Realizing she's
34:01running out of options
34:02to defend herself
34:03and with the
34:04detectives closing in,
34:05Ina resorts to
34:06something surprisingly
34:07clever as a
34:09last-ditch effort.
34:10Asking for a lawyer.
34:12Am I being arrested?
34:14Nope, you're not
34:14being arrested.
34:15We're just talking.
34:16So, but if you
34:17want a lawyer,
34:18we can stop
34:19talking right now.
34:20That's fine.
34:21But I'm telling you
34:22the God honest truth.
34:24I don't know
34:25what happened.
34:26I wasn't there.
34:27I wish I was there.
34:28I wish I was with him
34:30every second of the day
34:31that day.
34:32I wish I watched
34:33every single...
34:34But I'm not
34:35his goddamn mom.
34:38You asked for a lawyer,
34:39Ina, so we're just
34:40going to end this now.
34:41Okay?
34:42I'm not talking
34:42anymore.
34:43All right?
34:44You guys are
34:45so unbelievable!
34:50Fuck!
34:51Where are you?
34:53The second Ina
34:55realized the detective
34:57saw right through
34:58her story,
34:59she folded
34:59under the pressure
35:01and insisted
35:02on a lawyer.
35:03Ina had finally
35:04realized her game
35:06was over.
35:07Following this
35:08interrogation,
35:09Ina would roam free
35:10while detectives
35:11scrambled for
35:12concrete evidence
35:12that she had
35:13poisoned Steve.
35:14Ina would continue
35:15fighting for her innocence,
35:17making more
35:18deranged theories,
35:19such as Steve
35:20drinking the antifreeze
35:21out of shame
35:22that the lawyer
35:23was a fraud
35:24or that she had,
35:25too,
35:25been poisoned
35:26just months prior.
35:27Unfortunately for her,
35:29police managed
35:30to file a search warrant
35:31on apartment
35:32912A,
35:34finding multiple
35:35alarming items.
35:36an old Windex bottle
35:38without a cap
35:38containing a bright
35:40green liquid
35:40suspected to be
35:42antifreeze,
35:43as well as a
35:43Coors Light bottle
35:45containing antifreeze,
35:46found in the garage
35:47Steve had been
35:48working in
35:48that morning.
35:50This exact
35:51Coors Light bottle
35:53was what Ina used
35:54to poison Steve with.
35:56Antifreeze contains
35:57ethylene glycol,
35:59an ingredient that
36:00makes the liquid
36:00taste sweet.
36:01By mixing this
36:02with tea,
36:03Steve was fully
36:04unable to tell
36:05this fatal substance
36:06apart from
36:07his typical
36:08morning tea.
36:09Additionally,
36:09by hiding the liquids
36:10in the dark
36:11Coors Light bottle,
36:12Steve was unable
36:13to see the bright
36:14green color
36:15of this drink.
36:16With all of this
36:18newfound,
36:19completely incriminating
36:20evidence,
36:21as well as the
36:22numerous lies
36:23and false claims
36:24Ina had told
36:25law enforcement,
36:26she would finally
36:27be arrested
36:27on October 30th,
36:292024.
36:31to the garage!
36:33I know.
36:37Can I please
36:37lock up my house?
36:39Yeah, we'll lock
36:39up the house for you.
36:40I'll give you the keys,
36:41but...
36:41Yep, we'll lock
36:42the house up for you.
36:43Why me?
36:46It's alright.
36:54We let you smoke
36:55a cigarette,
36:55you gonna be decent?
36:57Well, I'm decent.
36:57I'm fine.
36:58I never dealt
36:58with you, so...
37:00I've never been
37:00arrested before,
37:01like this.
37:03I've never done
37:04anything.
37:05I haven't done
37:05anything.
37:06It seems like
37:07I'm an easy
37:07spit-goat.
37:08Yeah.
37:10Well, I am
37:11an easy spit-goat.
37:13It's all I've
37:14ever been.
37:15If I was gonna kill
37:16him, I would've
37:16killed him.
37:17The day he lied
37:18to me and I
37:18found out he
37:19was doing drugs.
37:21Well, just may I
37:21grab him and
37:22see if I'm
37:22fall, alright?
37:23And I would've
37:23done it physically,
37:24not...
37:25Physically?
37:26Yeah, I'm a
37:27pretty cool woman
37:28by the...
37:28Nobody out here
37:31to watch the dogs?
37:32Just you?
37:32No friends or anything?
37:33No, only one here.
37:34You have any friends
37:34at work that would

37:49Six months
37:50following Ina's
37:51arrest, she would
37:52sit down in the
37:53courtroom for one
37:54final time, accepting
37:55a plea deal for the
37:57murder of Steve
37:58Riley.
37:59It had been a
37:59matter of principle
38:00for Ina throughout
38:01this entire
38:02investigation, staying
38:03true to her word no
38:04matter how delusional
38:06it sounded.
38:06But in this
38:07courtroom, Ina was
38:09left with no choice
38:10but to finally
38:11confess.
38:12Ina Thea Kenoyer
38:14was charged with
38:15murder, intentional,
38:17knowing, or with
38:18extreme indifference
38:19of an adult victim.

38:24at probation will
38:25come in 2050.
