00:00Siamo arrivati in un'unica, un'unica, un'unica.
00:04Sì.
00:06Oh!
00:08On April 2, 2024, deputies from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office in New Mexico respond
00:14to a panicked 911 call.
00:17Believer the caller is exaggerating the urgency of the situation, they're shocked to discover
00:22that the initial incident is only the beginning, and a chilling discovery is waiting for them
00:27just behind a locked door.
00:28You look right across from you, there's blood up there.
00:32Oh, okay.
00:33Dude, nothing on this call makes any sense.
00:36The following is based on official police records, and the footage has never been seen before.
00:40Please note that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless and until
00:45proven guilty in a court of law.
00:47On the evening of April 2, 2024, Rhonda King calls the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office
00:52seeking aid.
00:54Hello, 911.
00:54Hello.
00:55Please, excuse me, for you, please.
00:57Oh, please, please.
00:58Hello?
00:59Please.
01:01911, you've got the button if you can hear me, you can't speak.
01:05Stop.
01:06Oh, Rhonda.
01:07Stop.
01:08All the dispatcher can hear is mumbled arguing on the other end.
01:12After a few minutes, Rhonda responds.
01:14Do you have an emergency?
01:16Yes, I need to have somebody come to Palomas Avenue.
01:20I don't know the exact address.
01:22I'm sorry.
01:23Okay, I need an address or some cross streets so we know where to find you.
01:26Um, it's on, it's the south side of Paseo del Norte.
01:30Please, it's an emergency.
01:31Okay, I need your address so I can send them.
01:33Can you get it from my phone?
01:35Dad.
01:36What's your callback number?
01:37Stop.
01:38Stop.
01:39It looks under John Colbert.
01:41Ma'am, answer my question.
01:43What is your phone number?
01:44Ma'am, please, it's an emergency.
01:46Okay, listen to me.
01:47I'll tell you what happens.
01:49Ma'am, their mother is passed away and they need some emergency assistance.
01:56They know.
01:58And I think the person is being a danger to themselves.
02:01And I'm trying to stop them, but I can't.
02:04Rhonda identifies the other person in the home with her as 59-year-old James Colbert,
02:09her friend and ex-boyfriend.
02:11What is he doing that you keep saying stop?
02:14He's trying to get to the room where the gun is on and I lock the door,
02:18but yet he has the key to get to us on a re-bin, like the rest of the room.
02:22No, stop.
02:24Listen to her.
02:26Stop.
02:27Stop.
02:28Stop.
02:29You're my teeth.
02:30Ow!
02:31Ow!
02:32What are you doing, my teeth?
02:33Oh, I'm going to hit my head with things for a while.
02:37We need to work carefully.
02:37Eventually, the dispatcher uses Rhonda's phone in order to locate her.
02:43And as the 911 call continues, deputies from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office
02:47urgently make their way to the residence.
02:50James, stop.
02:51Stop to here.
02:52James, we're here.
02:53Sheriff's Office!
02:54I'm down here!
03:03Sheriff's Office!
03:04I'm down here!
03:06What is it?
03:13They're down here by the door.
03:15Alright, come.
03:16You come out here to us.
03:17No, he's not armed.
03:17Nobody's armed.
03:20Nobody's armed.
03:21Oh, f***.
03:22Right here.
03:23Right here.
03:24I think he's in shock.
03:26His mother passed away.
03:27And he's the sole caregiver.
03:29I just think he's in shock.
03:31Okay.
03:31I'm going to call him today.
03:34James, it's okay, man.
03:35Hey.
03:35You're going to be okay, dude.
03:37Okay.
03:38Alright.
03:38Do you have weapons on you?
03:40No.
03:40Is it okay if I check over here?
03:41Sure.
03:42Let's go.
03:42Turn around for me.
03:43Guns are never...
03:44No, they're not.
03:46No, please stop.
03:47No, I'm not putting you in.
03:48This is just to make sure there's no weapons on you.
03:50It's all healthy.
03:50Should we hurt?
03:51Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ma'am.
03:53I'm just going to check you right here, alright?
03:54Please don't hurt me.
03:55I'm not hurting you, James.
03:56I just want to make sure you don't have...
03:57These are my keys.
03:58These are the keys that I have.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Alright, so James.
04:03Uh-huh.
04:04What's...
04:05Can I talk to you outside, brother?
04:06Yes, you can.
04:06Can you do one thing, though?
04:07Yes, sir.
04:08This door cannot be locked.
04:10Can we open that door, please?
04:12What?
04:12Do we need to open it right now?
04:14Yes, because it's...
04:14The heating stuff doesn't work if it's locked.
04:17Okay.
04:17I will be sure to unlock it.
04:20I will unlock it here.
04:20Can you go back around the phone, please?
04:22I will unlock it here before we move, alright?
04:24Go ahead.
04:25As some of the deputies attempt to speak with James,
04:27a task that will prove easier said than done,
04:30another breaks off to talk with Rhonda.
04:33Can you come talk to me in here?
04:37James and I have been friends for 40 years.
04:39Uh-huh.
04:39Good friends.
04:40His mom has been ill, has had Parkinson's.
04:42He's taken care of his work.
04:45And...
04:45This is your way, too, honey.
04:46We're inside making contact now.
04:50And...
04:51I would just...
04:52It doesn't matter what's in there.
04:53It's all mentioned in the classroom.
04:55Listen.
04:56Listen to me.
04:57I know...
04:58I don't know where he's going.
04:59So, we're going to take care of you.
05:02But I need you to relax and talk to me, okay?
05:04What is he doing that's making you feel like
05:06that he wants to hurt himself?
05:07Because he told me he did.
05:09Okay, what did he say exactly?
05:10He just said that there was no reason to live anymore.
05:13And that he just felt it was best
05:15just...
05:16You know...
05:19I don't know if he said specifically kill himself.
05:22It's just so important to me.
05:24But he said there was no more reason for him to live.
05:27Thanks.
05:28Rhonda clarifies that the residence doesn't belong to James,
05:31but to his father, who has passed away.
05:33She also states that the reason she believes
05:35there are firearms in the house
05:36is because it had been broken into a few months earlier.
05:39and the police report James filed
05:41stated that some of the firearms were stolen.
05:44While this may at first appear to be a routine welfare check,
05:47the deputies will soon uncover
05:48that nothing is quite as it seems
05:50and a dark secret is lurking just under the surface.
05:54So James, what's going on today, man?
05:56We got called out here because...
05:59I'm sorry to hear that there was a death in the family.
06:02And that is what I understand happened today?
06:04Yesterday.
06:05And yesterday, okay.
06:06And this has obviously been very rough for you.
06:08Absolutely.
06:09And so we were called out here because
06:11somebody said you were maybe thinking about hurting yourself.
06:14Rhonda did.
06:15And is that something you're thinking of?
06:19No.
06:19So what's going on today?
06:21What was the argument about today?
06:24Just that what's happened with my mom
06:27and that kind of stuff.
06:29Okay.
06:29So she's under the impression
06:31you're trying to grab a gun to shoot yourself.
06:32She thinks I would have killed myself in that room.
06:34Okay.
06:36But you...
06:37Not my intent.
06:37You're not intending to do that.
06:39No.
06:39Why would she think that?
06:41She just does.
06:41I don't know why.
06:42Okay.
06:44Can we have medical come check you out, man?
06:45Sure.
06:46I mean, you got some scrapes and things like that?
06:49360.
06:50So it's 10-4-4-4-5.
06:52Is this...
06:52What is on your shirt?
06:54That's a little bit of blood.
06:55Yeah.
06:56From your lip or something.
06:57Something, yes.
06:58What happened to your lip?
06:59Just...
07:00Just cut.
07:02Okay.
07:02A little bit on your nose, too?
07:04The bridge of your nose?
07:04Uh-huh.
07:05Okay.
07:06With blood on his shirt and cuts to his face,
07:08it's determined that James needs medical attention.
07:11However, he has something he believes is far more urgent on his mind.
07:14But, sir, we had broken into...
07:17They sold music equipment.
07:18They stole all kinds of stuff out of my parents' house.
07:21So I need to lock it.
07:22We're going to walk out to medical first.
07:24I want to secure the door, please.
07:25We can secure it right now.
07:26Is she leaving?
07:27She can come out.
07:29I want to secure the door.
07:30Okay.
07:30Yeah.
07:31So, sorry.
07:32We're just...
07:32So, we're a little antsy just because we were told there was a gun involved.
07:35Okay.
07:36And our belief was...
07:37I have no gun.
07:38Yes, sir.
07:38I know.
07:39I patted you down.
07:39Okay.
07:40That's okay.
07:40But our belief was that it was in the house.
07:42And that's why when we showed up, we were trying to patch you down for weapons,
07:47take you outside.
07:48Because if there was a firearm, we don't want...
07:50We wouldn't want you to...
07:52You know, you were wrong.
07:54Can we lock this window, please?
07:56Escorted by a few of the deputies, James is allowed to enter the residence again to turn
08:00off the lights and arm the alarm system.
08:02Already, some of the responding deputies are having doubts about the seriousness of the
08:06situation, something they may come to regret by the end of the night.
08:11I think this is what it was.
08:15I'm going to be straightforward and just tell you what's going on here.
08:18So, we showed up.
08:20You were covered in sweat.
08:21Right.
08:21You have some blood on your t-shirt.
08:23Uh-huh.
08:23You told me...
08:25You said, hey, I'm not suicidal, but I'm not in a good mental space.
08:28Right.
08:29All right.
08:29And so, I would like for you to just get checked out by these gentlemen.
08:34They're going to take your blood pressure.
08:35Okay.
08:35Because you were obviously in a highly emotional state when I came in contact with you at first,
08:41all right?
08:41The only thing is, we have to go to my other house.
08:45Okay.
08:45You don't have the key, Rhonda.
08:48Okay.
08:48Is this the one with the little puppy dog?
08:50No, it's the one that we had made, right?
08:54I don't remember which one's the word.
08:56This one.
08:57I'm sorry.
08:58Okay.
08:59Okay.
08:59Let's go this way.
09:00Are you sure?
09:00Let me just take all of them.
09:02No.
09:02Okay.
09:02Because this is the step to my other house.
09:04Okay.
09:04All right, man.
09:05Let's go this way.
09:06Okay.
09:06James gives the location of his house, but the deputies insist he gets checked out by medical
09:11personnel before he can explain why exactly he's so eager to return to the other residents.
09:16As soon as we got down, he was causing multiple requests.
09:20Then he decided to take around the corner to try to calm him.
09:23Honestly, I think it's a bit of an overreaction.
09:25I don't know if you saw him.
09:28He was sweating.
09:29Like, he was drenched in sweat.
09:31He was, and it's like cold.
09:34So he's just absolutely drenched in sweat.
09:36He's a very calm.
09:38Like, extremely monotone, extremely calm.
09:41So I was like, well, why would she think you're suicidal?
09:43She's like, I don't know.
09:44He said, I don't know.
09:46My mom just passed away.
09:47I was the caretaker for my mom.
09:49With mounting apprehension about the validity of Rhonda's concerns, one of the deputies speaks
09:55with her directly.
09:56Okay.
09:57So I know my partner was talking to you, but just, if you could, just give me a brief,
10:01just a rundown of what's going on.
10:05James' mother, well, James has been basically the sole caretaker of his mother the last few
10:10years since his dad died.
10:12Okay.
10:12She has Parkinson's disease, and she's been ill.
10:16Well, and James has been ill himself, like medically, and I think a lot of it's, you
10:24know, was stress-related.
10:26Earlier that day, Rhonda had called and texted James multiple times without receiving an answer.
10:31I thought, well, I'll call his mom, because, you know, I'll talk to her if I don't get
10:35him or whatnot, and she didn't answer.
10:37James' mother is 83-year-old Marion Colbert.
10:41Eventually, James returned Rhonda's call and told her he was at his dad's house.
10:45So basically, we were talking, and he said his mom passed yesterday, and I said, well,
10:51we need to call 911, James.
10:52Let's go to the house.
10:54And he was adamant, but no, we needed to come here and walk.
10:58We need to go in here.
10:59And I was afraid to let him go by himself, because I was afraid that he would go in and
11:03he might hurt himself.
11:04It was around this point that she called 911.
11:07I see you've got a little bit of, you've got a little bit of a cut on your head.
11:11Did he hit you?
11:12No.
11:12Okay.
11:13When I was trying to keep him from going into the door, the wall there.
11:17Okay.
11:17Can you move your hair a little bit?
11:19I just want to make sure.
11:19Yeah.
11:20Okay.
11:20Because we have medical here.
11:21Oh, yeah.
11:22Yeah.
11:23We're going to have medical take a look at you as well, okay?
11:26Okay.
11:26And they're trying to hold him, and he was pushing to get around me.
11:29And when I did, I hit the edge of the wall.
11:34Okay.
11:35I'm going to put some guards around there, okay?
11:37Okay.
11:38Oh, you're going to wrap it?
11:39Yeah.
11:40Are you serious?
11:41I've stabilized that guard.
11:43Oh, no.
11:44That was creepy.
11:45Okay.
11:46All right.
11:47As Rhonda's injuries are being addressed, some of the deputies share their thoughts on the
11:51situation.
11:52I think she's overreacting, and then I think this dude's just sad, and he's kind of done
11:57with, I guess, his mom died.
11:59But he never made any statements to her that he was going to kill him, so.
12:02Well, he's had a break-in, so it's reasonable for him to be paranoid about that.
12:06That's why he's super paranoid about everything about yours, because it's been broken into,
12:09and that's, like, a violation of, like, personal, like, intimate space.
12:14And her freaking out is probably making him freak out.
12:17And he's going into shock, which is why he's sweating so much.
12:20Despite their certainty, Rhonda was about to share a detail with alarming implications.
12:25We want you to go home.
12:27That way he can go home.
12:28Eventually, Rhonda is medically cleared and allowed to leave the scene.
12:45However, what she shared about James' mother has left the deputies with the creeping sense
12:50that something isn't quite right.
12:52Wait, what?
12:53What?
12:53The mom's got them that dress, so.
12:56What?
12:57Yeah, she just told me that mom passed over last night.
12:59His mom.
13:00And then she's still there.
13:01And she's still at the house, and no one has gone.
13:02What?
13:03Yeah, we need to, like, all get in a circle, and this is out of control.
13:09Supposedly, it would be said that his mom passed me last night, and she's still there.
13:14Nobody has gone.
13:15And she's still deceased in the house.
13:17I don't know how much I trust her information, considering the state of mind she's in, but
13:22I think we should go check that address.
13:24I think she's more my concern than he is.
13:27Well, we can ask him the whereabouts of his mom just to double check.
13:34Still, some of the deputies' doubts about Rhonda linger.
13:37I think she's more of the, um, I guess, aggressor, if you will.
13:42Yeah, yeah, she's off the block.
13:44James has been placed in an ambulance for evaluation.
13:47However, he's refusing to be transported to the hospital.
13:50Uh, James, real quick, brother.
13:52Uh, I'm, I understand, um, so your mother passed away last night, is that correct?
13:58Yesterday.
13:59Yesterday?
14:00Morning.
14:00Yesterday morning?
14:01Okay.
14:02And was it medical called out, or law enforcement?
14:06Okay, so where is she now?
14:07At my house.
14:08Um, so we will have to go down there and, and make sure she's transport, you know, taking
14:18care of according to how we, we handle those kind of calls.
14:24Um, okay.
14:27So give me one second, I'll go let my sergeant know that we have to go down there.
14:31And this was yesterday morning?
14:33Okay.
14:34And where would she be in the house?
14:37In the hallway.
14:38In the hallway?
14:39Okay.
14:42Uh, he's saying his mom passed away in his house, in the hallway in his house, yesterday
14:48morning, and she's still there in the hallway.
14:52And he never called EMS or an L1.
14:55We need to go there.
14:56Oh, God.
14:56Um, me, you, and let's, us, we go.
14:59Okay.
15:00This is nuts.
15:00So your, your mom dies.
15:03Why would you not call her?
15:04In, in the hallway.
15:05That's the other thing is, people don't die in the hallway.
15:08Oh, people don't die in the hallway.
15:10They die in bed.
15:11They die in bed and on the bathroom, not in the hallway.
15:13And then he's in shock.
15:16And then he didn't call us.
15:17The first thing you think would happen, you'd call somebody.
15:22You're like, hey, my mom just died.
15:24So your mom dies, dude.
15:27You've been taking care of her for the last 20 years.
15:32What's your reaction going to be, dude?
15:34Are you going to be like, oh, damn, mom died in the hallway.
15:38Let me leave her there for over 24 hours and go run errands and go to her house and start
15:43rummaging through stuff.
15:45What are you doing in there, dude?
15:46She's just decapitated in her life.
15:51And then that's the other thing is, here's the other thing.
15:54We got called out for 4-2-1 threats for him.
16:00Like, imagine something happens.
16:02You're not well mentally.
16:06Your mom is, dude, nothing on this call makes any sense.
16:10It's still big on to me real crazy, but I thought she was straight up lying, but then
16:15you put on the chair.
16:17Yeah.
16:18The deputies can't see anything amiss from outside the house.
16:21I was in danger, but they're dead and suspicious.
16:24I would just argue.
16:26Chair's office.
16:27Suspicious circumstances.
16:28Oh, I agree with you 100%, but the state of New Mexico won't.
16:34Because of the fact that they'll say, well, there's no agency.
16:37She's already dead.
16:37She can't get more dead.
16:40I heard that, you mother...
16:42Since they can't enter the residence without James's permission, one of the deputies still
16:56at the other scene speaks with him.
16:58Hey, James.
17:00So, I'm Deputy Vela.
17:01I just have a question for you.
17:03Is it okay for us to go into your residence to check on your mom?
17:07My mom's passed away.
17:08Is it okay if we go into your residence?
17:10Is that okay?
17:11Yes.
17:11Yeah, it is?
17:12I have my dog here, and I have to see if somebody takes her.
17:16The deputy reassures James that no one will take his dog.
17:19Are they in my property?
17:21No, we're waiting for you.
17:23That's why we're waiting for you.
17:27That's why I asked you if you would open your door, let us in, and you said yeah.
17:30They decide to transport James to his house so he can help them enter.
17:34However, given the uncertainty about the situation, they place James in handcuffs.
17:38Well, I'll turn on the heater for you real quick, okay?
17:42Can I get, can you get my blanket out of there or something?
17:46Sorry, I'm freezing.
17:47I'll turn it right now.
17:50Would you like to come and open the door for us?
17:53Or would you, is it okay with you if we open the door?
17:55What would you prefer?
17:56What would you like?
17:58Well, the first thing is, we'll have the dog taken somewhere.
18:03We'll bring the dog out.
18:04Right.
18:05But would you prefer that we open the door, or did you want to open the door?
18:08Yeah, because this is your home, and this is for your request to check on your mom.
18:11Well, as they said, my mom is deceased.
18:13Right.
18:14And like we talked about, that you'd like for us to check on her, correct?
18:17Check on the situation?
18:18Sure.
18:19Okay, did you want us to open the door?
18:21Still unaware of the horror that unfolded inside the home, they take the key from him.
18:25Turn the turn right.
18:26Let's make an entrance.
18:28Service department, anyone inside, make yourself known now.
18:32Go ahead.
18:33What's up, Puppers?
18:36Are we going in, guns blazing and everything?
18:38Yeah.
18:38Oh.
18:40Oh.
18:43What do we have?
18:44We have a DB, obvious 10-7, blood on the walker, on her lacerations to her legs, possibly head.
18:56Let's just clear the house, make sure no one else is dead.
18:57Okay.
18:58I'm going to take this way.
19:00Okay.
19:01Okay.
19:03Well, I think our suspicions may have been confirmed.
19:07Confirmed.
19:08This does not look like a natural death.
19:12No, I would say this is not.
19:15I'm just going to clear this real quick.
19:18There's blood.
19:19This is going to be part of the crime scene.
19:22So we got blood right there.
19:25In the shower or the tub.
19:30Yeah, this is not good.
19:31There's a pair right here.
19:45I'll clear it.
19:46Okay.
19:47I think this is probably for...
19:48Probably get out.
19:49Yeah, let's secure the house.
19:52We'll call for animal control to secure the dog.
19:56Just don't step on that right there.
19:57Yeah, don't step on anything.
19:58Following their gruesome discovery, the deputies search James and confiscate his phone.
20:03With unsettling calm, James makes an inquiry.
20:09Did you all take the dog outside?
20:11We have not taken the dog outside just yet.
20:13Hold on.
20:15I don't want to put him in a combat step.
20:17Yeah.
20:19We're going to be having animal control probably come get the dog here.
20:23Ryan is not going to pick up the dog?
20:25Probably not right now.
20:28There's a lot of weird s*** going on with this one.
20:33I don't know if it's just because the body's deteriorating, but her state of undress, the
20:39way she's positioned, like none of that makes any sense to me.
20:42And it could be that I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem natural.
20:45I didn't look at the body too much.
20:47We'll let CSI handle that s***.
20:49Something's off about this one, though.
20:51James is swiftly transported to the sheriff's office for questioning.
20:55So we'll take off your trunks, okay?
20:57Okay.
20:58So we'll do your hands real quick?
20:59Okay.
21:03You know, you're going to get all crazy with me, huh?
21:06Put it on top of your head, all right?
21:08Thank you.
21:09Stay there.
21:10Deputies remaining at the scene secure the rest of the property,
21:14wary about what other horrors they may stumble upon.
21:16If we find Dad in here, I'm going to be pissed.
21:20It's getting weirder and weirder in the longer we're here.
21:23I just wondered, like, what his plan was.
21:27I don't know.
21:28I think the shoulder, on accident, maybe panicked.
21:34Didn't know what to do.
21:36Decided, you know, I'm just going to...
21:38Kill himself?
21:39Kill himself, yeah.
21:41During questioning, James would eventually provide an answer to that question,
21:45as well as explain his mother's disturbing fate.
21:48Hello, sir.
21:49That's for you.
21:50I guess you should look back.
21:51Thank you.
21:52So, um, I wanted to talk to you today about how to do wrong,
21:57just because I need to have this treated as...
22:01...to do with this information.
22:02Of course, until I prove that, what I do know.
22:04It's just part of the process.
22:06The detective reads James' Miranda rights, and he agrees to speak.
22:10James, can you help me understand why you're here today?
22:14It's a lot of tough time.
22:15So, you know, can you tell me where she's been living with me for the last five years or so,
22:22and, um, we've been having some conflicts of the way.
22:29Tell me about that.
22:31It's just, you know, disagreements or conflicts, and, you know, she says,
22:39sometimes makes some, you know, derogatory statements to me.
22:42That's right.
22:43Like, the dog, um, wasn't fed physically.
22:50That's why she doesn't have enough weight, and it's, you know, going to kill the dog.
22:57Though James appears less than enthused over the prospect of discussing what happened between him and his 83-year-old mother, Marion,
23:04and the detective next asks the question likely on everyone's mind.
23:07How come you didn't call her?
23:10It seems that despite the deputy's certainty that Rhonda had been overreacting when she called 911,
23:25her fears had been justified.
23:26Still, a question remained.
23:29How exactly had Marion passed?
23:31She had fallen out of a chair.
23:34That chair that she's on now.
23:37So, I helped put her back.
23:38I put her back on the chair.
23:40Despite this claim, Marion's injuries couldn't have been caused by a fall.
23:44James states that it was around 11 a.m. on the 1st, over two days earlier,
23:48when he realized his mother had died as she sat in her walker in the hallway.
23:53He admits to leaving her sitting in that chair for around 15 hours before he noticed that she had passed.
23:59Instead of calling 911, James carried on with his day,
24:03heading to work and even sleeping in the house with his mother's corpse.
24:07He only told someone about Marion's passing when Rhonda met him at his father's house.
24:12Some of the deputies discussed the horrific nature of this fact while at the scene.
24:16You wake up, get your normal cup of coffee, and right in the corner of your eyes,
24:20mom's bloated, decaying corpse in the hallway.
24:24What do you think the dog thinks?
24:26The dog was like, please double cane.
24:29Already, there was growing doubt about James' claim that his mother died as a result of a fall,
24:34as some of the deputies still at the crime scene speculated.
24:37That's a little bit weird, dude.
24:39I think what happened was they had an argument.
24:43He killed her.
24:44Kind of went crazy.
24:47Went back to her house for some reason.
24:51Maybe he was suicidal.
24:54Dude, this...
24:55This is wild, bro.
24:58This girl was straight up murdered.
25:01She looks like she got the shit beat out of her,
25:04and she's in her walker.
25:06Not in a walking position.
25:07She's, like, seated down in her walker.
25:10Leaning back, like, naked except for a diaper.
25:14Huge lacerations all over her legs, arms, face.
25:18Blood spatter on the walls, on the floor.
25:22I'm gonna assume, yeah, like, this is a homicide.
25:24How are you?
25:26Well...
25:27Looked in the face of straight evil today, it feels like.
25:30This guy's an actual psychopath.
25:32Following Marion's death, the rest of her family had to be informed about the tragedy.
25:37Hi, Sergeant Neese.
25:39I am Lisa Colbert, and your officers were here at my home a few hours ago.
25:45Yes, ma'am.
25:46And, you know, we have a horrible, horrible situation.
25:50Absolutely.
25:50I'm very sorry for your loss.
25:52I'm, you know, we're blown away.
25:54My husband is in a huge proposal meeting with the government today.
25:58He doesn't even know this yet.
26:00Lisa eventually told her husband, John Colbert, James' brother, about his mother's death.
26:06And the two came down to the station to speak with detectives.
26:08What they shared added a haunting layer to the already disturbing story.
26:13I'll tell you what, I'm gonna sit right here.
26:15That was good.
26:16They discuss Marion, sharing that after she moved in with James so he could care for her,
26:21they rarely saw her and only occasionally spoke on the phone.
26:24During one conversation a year prior to her death,
26:27Marion told them that she feared James may attempt to take his own life.
26:31She was so worried, in fact, that Lisa called 911.
26:34My mother-in-law called.
26:37She's 82 years old.
26:39She sounds very distraught.
26:41She called about 20 minutes ago.
26:43She's very worried about her other son, whom she lives with.
26:48She's unable to physically navigate the home.
26:52He went to feed the dogs at 5 o'clock p.m., and he hasn't come back.
26:58And he's not answering his phone.
27:00She thinks something's happened to her son, my brother-in-law.
27:03Okay, so what's your mother-in-law's name?
27:06Oh, sure, sure.
27:07We have my brother-in-law.
27:09Hold on.
27:10Is he okay?
27:11John.
27:12My brother-in-law just answered the phone.
27:14Oh, my God.
27:15Okay, what's her name, your mother-in-law?
27:18Marion Colbert.
27:20How old is she?
27:2182.
27:22Okay, I think she's having an episode of some sort.
27:26I think he's okay.
27:28He's okay.
27:29My husband just talked to his brother.
27:33She's having some sort of episode.
27:35Once Lisa and John got in contact with him, James also called 911 to clarify the incident.
27:40Well, so my mom was trying to get a hold of me, and I had fallen asleep with the ringer off.
27:45So she called my sister-in-law, Lisa Colbert, who my understanding called 911, to make a wellness visit.
27:52I'm fine.
27:53It is not a problem if you could put that in the record.
27:56I will make sure and let them know.
27:57Thank you.
27:58All right.
27:58Bye-bye.
27:59Would you say she was scared?
28:00Oh, terrified.
28:01Okay.
28:02And she believed he was going to do it.
28:05You know how he is.
28:06He'll get mad at me.
28:07He'll yell at me.
28:09But in the last few years, three, don't get mad at me if I hang up.
28:15Honey, James comes in.
28:16I have to go.
28:17I have to go.
28:18And I'm like, why can't you talk to me?
28:20You know, what the heck?
28:21Yeah.
28:22I said, we have to say we're somehow going to try to help James.
28:26We've got to do something to help this lady.
28:29We knew he would decline.
28:31We knew he would be, ah, ah, like always.
28:33No, no, no, no.
28:34You know, hang up on you.
28:35Yeah.
28:35Rudely.
28:36No, I'm good.
28:37I don't need anything.
28:37I'll let you know.
28:38No, bye.
28:39Just shut you down.
28:41She calls us again.
28:43Again with the suicide.
28:45Again with, I don't know what to do.
28:48And we said, John said, Mom, there's professionals.
28:52Mom, but he will, he'll kill me.
28:54He'll go off.
28:55We can't just call and do that.
28:57We can't.
28:58No.
28:59You're going to get me in trouble.
29:00You're going to get me in trouble.
29:02Even with this eerie warning, they had no idea just how bad things had become.
29:07I didn't call that in my mind because I knew that, you know, I would be found to be, you
29:17know, doing the other abuse.
29:20Her pain and stuff like that, you know, was bruised up.
29:25This detail was apparent to everyone who saw Marion's body.
29:29In terms of her injury, she's got shin.
29:32That one looks like a laceration.
29:34Oh, yeah.
29:35A lot of these are looking like just tears, but I'm no doctor.
29:39Oh, man.
29:39So, um, left shin, right shin, her kneecaps, um, fat tear, fat tear, shoulder tear, her face
29:51is completely black and bloody, um, skin tear to her neck.
29:56Okay.
29:57Tell me more about her face or where she looks.
30:01This marks on her face or her face.
30:03How did she get this?
30:07Tell me about her.
30:08Okay.
30:10For you.
30:12Okay.
30:12What part of your body?
30:14What?
30:15What she does.
30:17My hand.
30:18Okay.
30:19When I look back, she looks like that.
30:25It's like a little bit hot slap.
30:26Her skin, because of the, the warping, um, it's very, very, very brittle or softer.
30:37That's the medication for her lover.
30:39It's like, okay.
30:40And so her skin is very soft because of that.
30:44And if you, if you do it, you just touch her arm or her hand or something, it can make
30:51skin come off.
30:53Though James is adamant that his mother fell in the living room, evidence discovered in
30:57the home may suggest that there's more to this story than James wants to admit.
31:01If you look right across from you, there's blood up there.
31:04Oh, okay.
31:05And then there's blood on this wall, right here.
31:09Yeah.
31:09Okay.
31:10This is that carmine, dude.
31:12How long you thinking?
31:14They told us a day and a half, maybe?
31:17I don't know, but look at all the points.
31:19It's all purple.
31:21Yeah.
31:21Dude, that right there is crazy.
31:24Yeah, there's a bunch of shit in here, and there's a bunch of blood, and it goes around
31:26this hallway, and I didn't go through here, but Noss said that there's more blood back there
31:30as well.
31:32Wait, everything's all packed up.
31:33I thought he was getting ready to, like, jump ship.
31:35There's blood here.
31:39But there and there.
31:40It's down there.
31:43Like she's trying to leave.
31:45Mm-hmm.
31:46Look at her, like, tendons are showing, like, right here.
31:49Mm-hmm.
31:50I'm so sorry I think this happened.
31:53James's brother, John, and his wife, Lisa, also discussed the lacerations when speaking
31:57with the detective.
31:59And then he decided to stab her and do the lacerations.
32:03Now, so I don't know if the coroner told you about that, the lacerations that I was referring
32:07to on her shins.
32:09No.
32:09Um, so that's what they told me is something called tissue bridging that comes from bone
32:14force trauma.
32:14Mm-hmm.
32:15No, you could see her tendons.
32:17That, that too.
32:18Uh, they were not able to tell me exactly how that happened because some of the skin was
32:22very brittle because of the age and because she was there for a couple days.
32:26Right.
32:26Though James has provided some answers, a few questions remain, namely, if he would admit
32:31to any role in his mother's death.
32:33How could it affect you so sorry?
32:36And that building question, you're asking, but I think you know how to answer it.
32:40That building kind of required what's happening.
32:42I'm not meaning anything, you know, I'm just asking why.
32:45It's so upsetting to you.
32:48Because if Biden gave his birth to her, when she was saying pretty hurtful things to you
32:53or so, that you pushed her out of the chair?
32:56No.
32:57Not my weapon.
32:58I'm not sure I answer.
32:59With this less than satisfactory answer, the detective leaves James alone.
33:06While he's been unwavering in his story that he didn't kill his mother and she died as
33:10a result of falling, John and Lisa share an alternate version of events.
33:15According to them, Rhonda allegedly told them that James initially made a concerning statement.
33:20He admitted it to her.
33:23She's-
33:23He admitted what to her?
33:24That he killed his mom.
33:27How did he admit it to her?
33:28He said I hurt my mom.
33:30Okay, he said it to her.
33:32He said it to her.
33:33And she said, he then, I'm sorry, babe.
33:38It's unclear whether or not this claim is true, but regardless, the detective returns
33:44to James' interrogation room in order to gather final evidence.
33:48Okay.
33:49Good morning.
33:50Good morning.
33:51Good morning.
33:52My name is Detective Walker.
33:53I'm with CSI.
33:54Uh-huh.
33:55So what I'm going to do is take some photos of you.
33:56Okay.
33:57And then collect some evidence from you.
33:58Okay?
33:59Okay.
34:00Do you mind standing at that wall for me?
34:01Sure.
34:02Okay.
34:03All right.
34:04I'm going to collect your clothing, so if you don't mind this recording, okay?
34:09Everything except your underwear.
34:11And then I'll give you this.
34:13Okay.
34:14Okay.
34:15Rest it up from here?
34:16Sure.
34:17Go turn around for me.
34:18Sure.
34:19And put your hands right here.
34:20Oh?
34:21Yeah.
34:22Pounds together.
34:23You know what's up?
34:24Okay.
34:25So you are going to get arrested tonight?
34:27I will put a copy of your restaurant in the property.
34:29so we can take a report with you.
34:45John and Lisa had a final comment regarding Marion and James.
34:49She was a sweet little lady.
34:51She didn't deserve this.
34:53He's more of a monster.
34:54He can't walk on this.
34:56Holy crap.
34:57He can't walk on this.
34:59He's a liar.
35:00He's lying on the river.
35:01James Colbert eventually pled no contest to murder in the second degree and failure
35:04to report of violent death.
35:06He was sentenced to nine years in the New Mexico Department of Corrections.
