00:00He strives for perfection.
00:02She had a 12-pack.
00:04She was just lean and strong.
00:06He's all about order and discipline.
00:08You could set your watch by him.
00:11He attained the rank of Master Chief,
00:12which is a phenomenal achievement.
00:15Together, they are a force of nature.
00:18Just was the strangest thing.
00:20To totally opposite people.
00:22But when trust fails...
00:24Sometimes when one wants out,
00:25the other will do anything they can to prevent that.
00:28He came up with his rifle.
00:30Suspicions take hold.
00:32It was awful.
00:33I want you out of my house today.
00:35Right there in my gut, I said something ain't right.
00:38It just opened up more questions than it solved.
00:40Protect 911, what's the emergency?
00:43An ominous mystery grips a small American town.
00:46Someone's at my house looking for me.
00:48Fitness is a love or hate relationship.
00:51Bodybuilding was something that they were both very serious about.
00:55A body can be a temple.
00:57But temples can be desecrated.
00:59Norfolk, Virginia, is home to the world's largest naval base.
01:14A massive complex on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
01:18It's a vibrant, dynamic city, due in part to its population.
01:24Most of the 120,000 active duty and civilian personnel stay in top shape.
01:30And 42-year-old Paul Jandreau is no exception.
01:34His discipline in and out of the gym has helped Paul earn the prestigious naval rank Command Master Chief.
01:41That is the highest rank you can obtain as an enlisted personnel in the Navy.
01:46You are in charge of all the enlisted personnel.
01:49You are the person they look towards for guidance, how to do things, how to be a sailor.
01:54Paul was just a stand-up guy.
01:56Paul had that supportive mentality.
02:00There's a camaraderie there.
02:02It's not about me.
02:04It's about helping other people.
02:06And Paul was like that.
02:08He lived in Moyoc for quite a few years.
02:13Married.
02:13He had two daughters.
02:16Moyoc is a bedroom community right on the border with North Carolina and Virginia.
02:20We have a lot of military personnel who will move to North Carolina to live because of more value for their homes.
02:28But they will commute to Virginia.
02:29It's a very easy drive.
02:32Professionally, life couldn't be sweeter.
02:34But by the summer of 2002, Paul's second marriage of 14 years is headed for divorce.
02:42The soon-to-be bachelor is a regular at his gym, where he lays eyes on divorcee Leticia Esquil.
02:49A 29-year-old competitive bodybuilder with a great job in human resources at Norfolk's renowned Children's Hospital.
03:00She caught Paul's attention immediately.
03:04Leticia is very athletic, very strong.
03:08She was very serious about bodybuilding, and she was obsessed with being as fit and as muscular as she could possibly be.
03:15Leticia is a professional bodybuilder, very successful.
03:18in her sport, and has won several competitions.
03:24Many men admired Leticia's physique.
03:27I mean, she was absolutely in perfect condition.
03:31As someone who sees sailors through the rigors of physical training, Paul is dazzled.
03:37Paul is driving to be more physically fit.
03:39You have somebody who's at a high level, and you have someone seeking to get to a higher level of physical fitness.
03:45There's an attraction there.
03:47Paul is impressed with her.
03:50He saw her six-pack and knew that he was going to date her.
03:53Even though Paul is still married, he and his soon-to-be ex are free to see other people while they work through their amicable divorce.
04:05Paul realizes the new target of his affections is painfully shy.
04:09So to put Leticia at ease, he goes for common ground, proposing they be workout partners.
04:15Training for bodybuilding was something that Leticia and Paul did together, and they were both very serious about.
04:21He would go to competitions with her and assist when needed.
04:25Paul and Leticia used these fitness competitions as an opportunity to spend time together.
04:30They would get to travel, and they would get to travel, and they both enjoyed it.
04:36He would brag about her to his friends and talk about her various competitions.
04:42To close friends, the new couple seems an unlikely pair.
04:46I think their relationship was just an example of opposites attracting, because they did not appear to match in any way.
04:54It just was the strangest thing.
04:56They were totally opposite people, where Paul was more outgoing and Leticia was not outgoing.
05:00She was very much an introvert.
05:04When there was get-togethers, she wouldn't leave his side.
05:08What made Leticia fall in love with Paul, I mean, Paul was pretty charismatic.
05:12But I also think that it was his success.
05:16Anybody wants to marry somebody that's successful.
05:18Leticia makes good money at Children's Hospital, but a serious relationship with an affluent man like Paul
05:24would afford her an entirely new level of luxury and security.
05:29Leticia Jandra came from a small North Carolina town.
05:33She had a very modest upbringing.
05:37Only a few months into dating, Paul surprises family and friends
05:41by asking Leticia to move in.
05:44They were both at a point in their life where they were looking for a relationship.
05:50Leticia moves into the beautiful custom home Paul built in Brumsey Landing,
05:55a Tony subdivision in Moyoc, North Carolina.
05:58It's a 40-minute commute to their jobs in Norfolk, Virginia.
06:03Brumsey Landing is a small neighborhood on the water.
06:07They're very quiet, virtually no crime occurs, super family-friendly, just beautiful.
06:13The home includes a huge garage, allowing Paul to indulge in his passion for sleek machines.
06:21You can tell he really loves his vehicles.
06:24His pickup truck was spotless.
06:26His vehicles were always clean, waxed, basically show ready.
06:30He had a very nice Dodge Challenger.
06:33It had a Hemi in it.
06:35And, I mean, when I saw that car, I was envious of that car.
06:38It was really, really nice.
06:40For Leticia, life with the gregarious Master Chief is a Cinderella story.
06:46Paul's divorce is finalized in May 2003,
06:49and they marry the next month, a year since they first met.
06:54Paul seemed very happy being married to Leticia.
06:56He was very caring and attentive.
07:00He enjoyed doing things with Leticia.
07:03The neighbors would see them walking and holding hands and just being together.
07:10Four years into their marriage,
07:12Paul retires from the Navy and begins collecting his military pension.
07:16However, he has no intention of slowing down.
07:20He was able to embark on a new career as a civilian at BAE Systems in Murphic, Virginia.
07:25They are a company that services and works on Navy ships.
07:29If someone is held in very high regard, he was very dedicated, would stay late,
07:35and was very work-driven and focus-driven.
07:38Leticia is also on the move professionally.
07:42In 2009, she lands a challenging position with a leading defense contractor.
07:46Leticia Jandro worked for Blackwater Airlines.
07:49I believe she helped schedule flights, bringing personnel in and out for training
07:55and also for contractors going overseas.
07:58For a woman without a high school diploma, it's an astonishing feat.
08:02Leticia is a hard worker.
08:04Whatever job she had, she was serious about her job, and she was responsible.
08:10Still, for the bodybuilder, no job will ever take priority over her first love.
08:16Her life revolved around physical fitness.
08:19It was one of the most important things in her life.
08:23Paul was very proud of his wife.
08:25He would go to work and talk about her competitions.
08:28He told people about the various trophies she'd win.
08:31Paul would brag to coworkers about her accomplishments.
08:35Paul and Leticia seemed to have a very wonderful life,
08:38a great home, great jobs, colleagues and friends that greatly respect them.
08:43For most people, you would say that this was a couple that you would want to emulate.
08:54But the happy life of Leticia and Paul Jandro comes to an unexpected end
08:58in the summer of 2010, when one day, Paul doesn't show up for work.
09:04On June 30th, around 7.45 in the morning, Paul's coworkers reported him missing.
09:13We started getting phone calls from at least six of his coworkers, his whole little office,
09:18were telling us that this was terribly, terribly wrong.
09:23He had a presentation that he had been working on very diligently,
09:26and even though he was only a few hours late for work,
09:29his coworkers knew that, hey, this is not Paul Jandro.
09:34At the urgent request of Paul's coworkers,
09:38a deputy from the Curituck County Sheriff's Office
09:40visits the Jandro residence to perform a routine welfare check.
09:45She notices multiple vehicles in the driveway.
09:49She knocks on all the doors, no answer.
09:51She walks around looking at windows and could not get a response.
09:57Meanwhile, Paul's coworkers hope Leticia can shed light on Paul's whereabouts.
10:02Coworkers were calling her, and she was also calling his coworkers.
10:06She had no knowledge where Paul was.
10:09Soon after, Leticia leaves work to meet with the deputy waiting outside her home.
10:14She calmly tells the officer that contrary to the concerns of Paul's coworkers,
10:19there is likely an easy explanation for why he is missing.
10:23But that easy explanation goes against everything the couple's friends and family
10:28have come to know about the Jandros.
10:31Leticia says that their marriage is on a rocky road.
10:37Paul has been seeing another person for some time,
10:40and that it is common for him to leave and go off with this person.
10:44Leticia mentioned that he had several lady friends.
10:47He would be picked up on a regular basis.
10:52They were in a relationship that she could do what she wanted,
10:55and he could do what he wanted.
10:57Leticia's private disclosure has detectives wondering,
11:01what is really going on with Paul Jandros?
11:04A missing persons investigation has been launched in Moyoc, North Carolina,
11:11for 50-year-old Paul Jandros.
11:14Paul was supposed to be at work at 5.30 in the morning.
11:18By 7 a.m., his coworkers were making phone calls to the sheriff's department.
11:23He was known to friends and coworkers as extremely punctual, very regimented.
11:29It became a joke at his workplace that if Paul was on time, he was late,
11:34because he was that early and that punctual and reliable.
11:37But Paul's wife, Leticia Jandros, calmly explains that she and Paul have an open relationship.
11:47Leticia was adamant that Paul had run off to be with his girlfriend or another woman for a day or two.
11:53She wasn't concerned.
11:54Leticia informed us that he wasn't in a relationship,
11:59and she actually provided some social media information of who this person was.
12:04Paul did have a dating profile.
12:07It was shown that he was dating another woman at the time.
12:11Her name is Lori Cosgrove, and officers are assigned to track her down.
12:18Leticia was seeing other people as well.
12:20She emphasized to the deputies that they were doing their own thing.
12:24Furthermore, she says, Paul's CPAP machine for his sleep apnea is so loud,
12:30they've had separate bedrooms for years.
12:32And because he goes to work so early, she typically doesn't see him before he leaves.
12:38Leticia brings the deputy inside to complete her welfare check.
12:43A welfare check is just a brief walkthrough,
12:46making sure that he's not laying there beside the bed deceased.
12:50It's not an in-depth crime scene search.
12:53Leticia goes straight to Paul's bedside, looking for a sleep apnea machine.
12:59The first thing she says, hey, this instrument is gone,
13:02so he's planning on being gone and not returning for the night.
13:06She knew if he traveled, he would take that with him.
13:10Marriages have difficulty.
13:11People see other people.
13:12People make other arrangements.
13:14And sometimes things are spontaneous.
13:16If they had a relationship, that they could come and go as they pleased.
13:20That explains her not being startled or upset that he was gone.
13:26The deputy walks through the residence.
13:29She didn't see Paul.
13:31She didn't notice anything in the house that set off alarms.
13:34When Paul is not found at home that morning, investigators are unsure where to turn.
13:42Did he just need to get away for a day or two?
13:45We had to think about every scenario that we could.
13:49By noon, Paul's girlfriend, Lori Cosgrove, has not been located.
13:54And Leticia has racked her brain, telling the deputy she knows of no one who would want to harm her husband.
14:01There is nothing in Paul's background that would be any kind of attraction to any danger.
14:07No criminal record.
14:09Well liked.
14:11No enemies that we were aware of.
14:14Just then, Leticia remembers that about two weeks earlier,
14:18Paul was very upset to discover someone had keyed his collectible Dodge Charger.
14:24Somebody wanted to destroy or damage something that meant something to him.
14:29So that was important for us to find out what that was about.
14:33The clamor from Paul's coworkers to find him is relentless.
14:38The same day that he was missing, they were out in the neighborhood passing out missing persons posters
14:45with Paul's picture on them.
14:46They were very concerned for him.
14:48Help find a missing coworker?
14:50You could tell the guy was very loved and respected.
14:54He had a big day at work, a big presentation between a lot of high-ranking military officials.
14:59And for him to not be there or postpone was very suspicious.
15:04In most missing persons cases, law enforcement, if they get notified early,
15:08they'll send out a be-on-the-lookout to other law enforcement agencies.
15:12But nothing really happens.
15:14You don't start to worry until at least 24 hours has gone by.
15:17We do receive a lot of missing person reports.
15:20And, you know, in a short time, you find out there's explanations for it.
15:24However, in this particular instance, people were so adamant that Paul Janjo would just not fail to show up for work.
15:32For Paul to do something like this, this was just not in his character.
15:36Everyone knew that something was wrong.
15:43Paul was not answering his cell phone, and nobody could get a hold of him.
15:48Shortly after that, we were notified that his phone was actually pinging off a tower in Elizabeth City.
15:54So I immediately went to Elizabeth City.
16:02The harbor town is a 30-minute drive from Paul and Leticia's home.
16:07Could Paul simply be blowing off work and marital stress with a spontaneous staycation?
16:13Paul being in Elizabeth City was definitely not out of the ordinary because there are hotels, there's shops, there's a waterfront, restaurants.
16:19I mean, if you're thinking someone wanted to get away somewhere close, that could definitely be a place that they would go.
16:28We started canvassing hotels and motels in Elizabeth City.
16:32We had gotten Paul's driver's license picture, and when we got to the Hampton Inn, the manager immediately said,
16:41I saw him last night, and he was acting a little strange.
16:44And I saw him again this morning, she said.
16:51The witness account lends support to Leticia's theory that Paul is having an out-of-town tryst.
16:58We took that very seriously, and we made assignments with all of our detectives and pulled them off everything else and said,
17:05hey, all right, we need someone tracking the phone.
17:07We need someone tracking the other person that he's in a relationship with.
17:11We need somebody talking with co-workers, we need somebody canvassing the neighborhood and talking with all the neighbors.
17:17Checking the hotel records at the Hampton Inn, detectives come up short.
17:22It's doubtful Paul or his girlfriend checked in under an alias,
17:26because there are no images of either of them on hotel security cameras.
17:30We could find no evidence that he had checked into that hotel.
17:34But investigators are not ready to give up on the leads that Paul may be somewhere in Elizabeth City.
17:41They continue to canvass other hotels and restaurants in the area.
17:46By now, word of Paul's disappearance has made it to his daughters living outside of North Carolina.
17:52They tell investigators that they haven't spoken with their father.
18:00Leticia was texting Paul's daughter, telling her that I'm praying for your father,
18:06and she was doing everything she could to help the sheriff's department locate her father
18:10and that she was certain that he was going to be found safe.
18:1324 hours into Paul's disappearance, he's still not answering his cell phone.
18:20As people kept calling, it began to go directly into voicemail,
18:23which would normally tell you that somebody's turned it off or perhaps the battery's dead.
18:29Late that afternoon, Paul's brother gets a phone call.
18:33When he sees Paul's name on the caller ID, he scrambles to answer.
18:39It's a phone call from a construction worker.
18:43Paul's phone is recovered from the parking lot of the elementary school.
18:50The brother explained, well, this is Paul's phone. He's missing.
18:54So this construction worker took that phone to the Elizabeth City Police Department.
18:59The construction worker showed us exactly where the phone was located.
19:04We immediately started to canvass of that area.
19:06We had a utility worker tell us that they saw him walking down the road the day before.
19:14It really didn't make sense because it was several miles from the Hampton Inn,
19:22and Paul did not have his vehicle, and it was hot.
19:24And we're trying to wrap our minds around, why is he over here on foot?
19:30Why would he not have his phone?
19:32Why has he not contacted people?
19:34It's just not adding up.
19:37We were continually checking to see if his credit card had been used,
19:41and it had not been used.
19:43Upon further investigation, Paul had not checked into the Hampton Inn,
19:47so we pretty much figured it was a mistake in identity.
19:52Detectives finally make contact with Lori Cosgrove,
19:56the woman Paul is reportedly dating.
19:58She didn't have any information on Paul's current whereabouts,
20:02said she had spoken to him recently, but had no plans to meet up.
20:07He was not with her.
20:12As detectives question the reports that place Paul in Elizabeth City,
20:16they receive an urgent call from a concerned neighbor in Brumsey Landing.
20:22Something bizarre is happening at Leticia and Paul's house.
20:25They see a man show up who they did not know and begin to move furniture.
20:34So law enforcement gets called out to the house
20:37to see why he was just moving furniture out of the house.
20:41Only a day after completing a welfare check at the Jandro residence,
20:57Currituck County Sheriff's deputies returned to investigate suspicious activity
21:01reported by one of their neighbors.
21:03The sheriff's department received a call from one of the neighbors saying that Leticia
21:08was actually loading up furniture and taking it from the residence.
21:12An unidentified man is also reported to be helping Leticia.
21:16When the deputy went to the house to talk to Leticia about why she was moving the furniture,
21:23she told the deputy that she was just getting new furniture
21:26and was taking that furniture to store it in a storage unit.
21:32And the male there with her turned out to be Leticia's brother.
21:37Deputies ask Leticia to return the furniture to the house until further notice,
21:41and she complies with their orders.
21:44It was odd, the timing.
21:47Her husband's missing, and she's being very calm and nonchalant about it.
21:55Deputies take notice of something else very odd.
22:00You have a lot of windows on this particular house.
22:04While her husband's missing, she starts making various attempts to prevent people from looking in.
22:10The windows over the garage, she frosted them with a spray that will make it so that you can't see through them.
22:19Wrapping paper ended up on the windows in the back by the sunroom.
22:23Investigators consider that Leticia is simply maintaining her privacy,
22:28given all the attention being cast on her home.
22:30Neighbors and friends revealed to investigators that in recent years,
22:39the Jandro's seemingly blissful marriage had been hit by tragedy.
22:47Leticia and Paul wanted to have children,
22:50but the process of her having her own children was an uphill climb.
22:55They went through quite a few rounds of IVF until she was pregnant with twin girls.
23:05Paul was very excited.
23:07Yet, as often happens with twins,
23:10Leticia's pregnancy becomes high risk, and she's put on bed rest.
23:14Every ache, every twinge, her anxiety was through the roof.
23:20I would just talk to her, I'm like,
23:22Girl, just calm down, put your feet up, just relax, enjoy the process.
23:30I think she was about 21 weeks pregnant.
23:37She ended up losing both the babies.
23:42Paul took it really hard.
23:43Leticia wanted to try again, and he was like,
23:51We're done.
23:52He was not going to do it.
23:54He's like, I'm not going through that again.
23:56With her chance at motherhood lost,
23:59Leticia puts everything she has back into bodybuilding,
24:02and Paul is there for her.
24:05But by year's end,
24:07friends notice something has changed.
24:09She was telling me that she was getting ready to do her competition,
24:12and I was like, oh, awesome.
24:14Is Paul going with you?
24:15And she just looked at me and she said, mm-mm.
24:17I was like, oh.
24:19I was like, is everything all right?
24:20And she's like, mm-mm.
24:23I said, are y'all separating?
24:25And that's when she's like, yeah.
24:27She goes, he's seeing somebody else.
24:29And I was like, oh.
24:31Paul's co-workers first sensed trouble
24:35when Paul turned 50
24:36with no party or acknowledgement from his wife.
24:40And when Leticia placed second
24:42in a recent bodybuilding competition,
24:44Paul didn't attend or mention the prize.
24:49Now, Paul's co-workers revealed to Belize
24:52that Paul had filed for divorce
24:54and wanted Leticia gone by the end of the month.
24:58This heightened our concern that, hey,
25:01he was definitely in a relationship
25:02that he wanted out of.
25:06Leticia explained that they were in a bad marriage,
25:09but it was civil.
25:10Finding out the marriage was worse
25:12than probably what Leticia was letting us know.
25:16None of the neighbors confirmed
25:18that there was ever yelling or fighting.
25:20We didn't get any calls for any disturbances
25:22or any noises.
25:25The only record police have of trouble
25:27at the Jandrow home
25:28is the report of vandalism filed
25:31two weeks before he disappeared.
25:33It appears there was more to the story
25:36than Leticia first told investigators.
25:40Paul reported that his car was keyed,
25:43and this was his Dodge Challenger
25:45that he loved and kept in pristine condition.
25:47We discovered that the vehicle
25:49had been scratched inside the garage.
25:52Which means someone with access to the home
25:55must have done it.
25:57Suspicions were definitely starting to mount.
26:01We couldn't find anything
26:02that was leading us anywhere
26:03than Paul's home.
26:05The last place that we know Paul was
26:07was at his home.
26:09He'd made phone calls from his home
26:11the day before he went missing.
26:14Leads that we had were dead ends,
26:16and Leticia's assertion
26:19that he had run off with a woman
26:21or had a girlfriend
26:21and was off with her,
26:23that wasn't working out
26:25because he would be answering his phone
26:27and letting people know.
26:29And even if he had taken off
26:31with a girlfriend,
26:32he had never missed work before.
26:34In my opinion,
26:35he would have went to work that day
26:36and then went, you know,
26:38to the girlfriend's house
26:39or wherever they had planned on staying
26:40if he was just trying to get away
26:42from Leticia
26:42and let things cool off.
26:48Investigators want to collect
26:49more evidence
26:49that could help them construct
26:51a timeline leading up
26:52to Paul's disappearance.
26:57Leticia had agreed
26:58to turn over Paul's personal computer
27:01to the Sheriff's Department
27:02so we could look at it
27:04and maybe get some leads.
27:06Two days after Paul vanishes,
27:08detectives go to the Jandrell home
27:11to retrieve Paul's computer.
27:13So we set up a time.
27:15We arrive at her home
27:16and she's not there.
27:18There's a note on the door.
27:22It said that she decided
27:23to go out for a walk.
27:25She wasn't answering her cell phone.
27:29Law enforcement split up
27:30and we were searching the trails
27:32where she said she was.
27:34At that point,
27:35we were concerned
27:36that Leticia may try
27:37to harm herself.
27:38to her.
27:44Car attack 911.
27:45What's the emergency?
27:47While we're trying
27:48to locate Leticia,
27:50she called 911.
27:52I'm calling
27:53because I was told
27:54someone's at my house
27:55looking for me
27:56and I'm not home.
27:58And I'm currently
27:59in Chesapeake.
28:00Who am I speaking with?
28:02Leticia Dandrew.
28:03But officials are certain
28:05Leticia is not
28:0730 miles north
28:08in Chesapeake.
28:09Whenever you call 911,
28:10they automatically
28:11are tracing your call.
28:12So the 911 operator
28:14is like,
28:14no, she's not in Chesapeake.
28:16She's in that house
28:17there in Brunzee Landing.
28:18So we knew
28:22that without a shadow
28:23of a doubt,
28:23she's hiding things.
28:25Because of Leticia's
28:26evasive behavior,
28:29detectives are forming
28:30a new theory
28:31regarding Paul's disappearance.
28:33We were very certain
28:35that something had happened
28:36to Paul
28:36in that house.
28:37I feel now
28:40we have enough information
28:41for a search warrant.
28:43We wanted to get
28:44inside that house
28:45to see,
28:46is she okay?
28:47Is Paul there?
28:48Is he okay?
28:49We're not sure
28:50what we're going
28:50to walk into.
28:52We got the warrant prepared.
28:55So we returned
28:57to Paul and Leticia's home
28:59just after midnight
29:00on July 3rd.
29:05Nobody answers.
29:06So at this point,
29:07they choose a door
29:08to go in through
29:09and they pick
29:10the garage door.
29:13There was something
29:14behind the door
29:15that just would not
29:16allow us to open the door.
29:20Eventually,
29:21after a sustained effort,
29:23we were able
29:24to get the door open.
29:28Once inside,
29:29they see the garage door
29:31had been barricaded
29:32with a massive pile
29:33of heavy garbage.
29:34We knew Leticia
29:37was in the house.
29:38We didn't know
29:39she had a firearm.
29:40So we cleared
29:41the garage very quickly
29:42and then we made
29:43entry into that residence.
29:46We knocked and announced
29:48that with our guns drawn
29:50in the very last room,
29:56the northernmost room
29:57in the house.
30:01We found Leticia
30:02hiding in a closet
30:03covered up by clothes.
30:06They were like,
30:07show me your hands.
30:09She was actually
30:10almost in a fetal position.
30:13She wasn't combative
30:14at all.
30:14She basically just
30:15did what we told her to do.
30:17One of my female detectives
30:18reached in and snatched her
30:20out of the closet.
30:20And there's Leticia Jandro.
30:26She looked to be
30:27defeated and resigned
30:29to her fate.
30:33They have her sit down
30:34to interview her.
30:36She kept her head down.
30:38She did not want
30:38to make eye contact.
30:40We advised her of her rights
30:42and interviewed her on scene.
30:43Why are you hiding
30:44in the closet?
30:45I don't know if I
30:46don't want to tell you.
30:47She was very upset.
30:50You don't want to have
30:51the kids.
30:51You don't want to have
30:52to do it.
30:53You don't want to have
30:54to do it.
30:55She tried to ignore us,
30:57not answer questions.
30:59Have you all had
31:00any major arguments?
31:02We don't argue.
31:03We do our own scene.
31:05She was crying
31:06and the first thing
31:07that comes to my mind,
31:08why are you crying?
31:09What have you done wrong?
31:11Because I'm trying to
31:11cooperate.
31:12I don't know.
31:13I just don't want to.
31:15Her explanation was
31:16that she was just tired
31:17of being bothered.
31:18She needed some time to rest.
31:19She needed some time to think.
31:24Meanwhile, there are
31:25other officers
31:25going through the house.
31:30We noticed extensive cleaning
31:32and sections of carpet
31:34were just cut out
31:35of the floor.
31:37When you see strips
31:38of carpet cut up
31:40out of someone's floor
31:40in a very nice home,
31:42and when you see furniture
31:43wrapped up,
31:44when you see rugs
31:45wrapped up to be removed,
31:47that really put our senses
31:49at the highest levels
31:51that something tragic
31:52had happened.
31:52had been patched.
31:55I went to the master bedroom.
32:00There were bullet holes
32:01in the walls
32:01that had been patched.
32:05There was an area rug
32:07in the middle of the floor.
32:09When I tried to move
32:10the area rug,
32:11it was glued down
32:13to the floor.
32:14I was able to pull the rug up,
32:16and I saw a bullet skip mark
32:18in the floor right there.
32:20I moved a dresser.
32:24I saw another bullet hole.
32:28I saw the blood spatter.
32:31Shortly after that,
32:32another investigator
32:33called me over.
32:36I went out to the garage.
32:41The team uncovered
32:42a plastic tote
32:43that had a shower curtain
32:47taped with duct tape
32:49over the top of the tote.
32:51He immediately smelled
32:52what he identified
32:53as the odor of decomposition.
32:58So this is not going to end well.
33:00In the very early morning hours
33:09of July 3rd, 2010,
33:12as Leticia Jandreau
33:13is being questioned
33:14about her husband, Paul,
33:17detectives searching the residents
33:18make a horrible discovery.
33:26I went out to the garage.
33:28The team uncovered
33:32a plastic tote
33:33that had a shower curtain
33:34taped with duct tape
33:36over the top of the tote.
33:40It was hot.
33:42It was July.
33:43So as soon as
33:44the plastic tote
33:45was uncovered,
33:47the stench of death
33:48and decomposition
33:49was very strong.
33:51We knew that
33:52we had a body
33:53at that point.
33:53We uncovered
33:57several layers
33:58of plastic.
34:00There was kitty litter
34:01sprinkled in between
34:02the layers of plastic
34:03and each layer
34:04was taped.
34:05But as soon as
34:06we could see
34:07Paul's head
34:08and his hair,
34:09we stopped
34:10at that point,
34:11called the medical
34:12examiner's office.
34:16The deputy
34:17who did the welfare check
34:18the morning Paul disappeared
34:20had unknowingly come
34:22within 10 feet
34:23of Paul's body.
34:25We know where he is.
34:28Elizabeth City?
34:29No.
34:30No, he's not
34:31Elizabeth City.
34:32He's a lot closer.
34:33This is your one opportunity.
34:36No, look at me.
34:38The old spot.
34:39The old spot.
34:40Yes, it is.
34:42She did appear
34:44startled that
34:45we had found
34:46Paul in the house,
34:47implying that
34:49she didn't know
34:49that he was deceased.
34:51I didn't put him there.
34:53With nowhere
34:54left to hide,
34:55Leticia finally
34:56discloses to detectives
34:58that she may have
34:59unwillingly played
35:00a role in her
35:01husband's murder.
35:03She said that
35:04she stopped
35:04in Elizabeth City
35:05and she told
35:06several men
35:07that Paul had
35:08been mistreating her
35:08and she gave them
35:09the code to the house
35:10and wanted them
35:11to come beat Paul up.
35:12We just went up
35:13to a couple
35:14of strangers
35:14on the street,
35:15moved downtown
35:16and just hanging
35:19on the corner talking.
35:21There was nothing
35:23believable
35:24about Leticia's story.
35:25We weren't able
35:26to confirm anything.
35:27It seemed very outlandish.
35:28The only thing
35:29that gave some credibility
35:30is she did
35:31implicate herself
35:32in solicitation
35:33for an assault.
35:35Leticia,
35:35where's your biggest fan?
35:44Leticia,
35:45if you're just
35:46in this situation.
35:48Trust me,
35:48that she just cannot
35:49be able to explain
35:50the lie we have.
35:52We were firing
35:53as long as we had
35:54to be alive.
35:58Shortly after
35:59we found the body,
36:01she was taken
36:01into custody
36:02and arrested.
36:04The whole tote
36:05was taken
36:06to the medical
36:07examiner's office.
36:09The official cause
36:10of death
36:10is multiple gunshot wounds
36:12combined with severe
36:14blunt force trauma
36:15to the head.
36:19She was in jail
36:20maybe 12 to 13 hours
36:21before she contacted
36:23law enforcement
36:23and said she wanted
36:24to talk.
36:25And now she gives
36:27a different version
36:28of her story.
36:30Leticia says
36:31Paul attacked her
36:31in the early morning
36:32of June 30, 2010,
36:35the same day
36:36Paul's coworkers
36:37reported him missing.
36:38She told me
36:40that Paul came
36:41in her room
36:42with a rifle
36:43and says by the time
36:44I leave for work
36:45I want you out
36:46of this house.
36:47He grabbed her
36:48and drug her down
36:49the hall and said
36:50I want you out.
36:54She said she got
36:55her gun
36:56which was a .45
36:57ran to his room
37:02and started shooting.
37:04Shot the door
37:06and shot Paul
37:07multiple times.
37:10I just kept shooting.
37:11He backed away.
37:12I shot him again.
37:14We struggled.
37:14And then they had
37:15an altercation,
37:17a struggle
37:17after he had been shot.
37:23She went on to say
37:24that she killed him
37:25in self-defense.
37:26So this was a completely
37:27new version
37:28that she came up with
37:30after being in jail
37:31for about, you know,
37:32a day.
37:33Well this story
37:33fits the evidence
37:34that we were recovering.
37:37There was a bullet hole
37:38in his bedroom door,
37:39a bullet hole
37:40in the floor,
37:41a bullet hole
37:41in the wall.
37:42He was injured
37:43by the gunshots.
37:44So this was making sense.
37:46I don't think
37:46he put his hands on her.
37:48She never reported that
37:50until she had a day
37:52to think about it.
37:53Leticia's claims
37:54of abuse
37:54were not supported
37:57by any evidence.
37:58None of the neighbors
37:59confirmed that there
38:01was ever yelling
38:01or fighting
38:03or that they had known
38:04Paul to get physical
38:05with Leticia.
38:06She claimed Paul
38:07had kicked her bedroom
38:08door in.
38:09There was no damage
38:10at all to that door.
38:12She told me how
38:12that she had shot Paul
38:15and then she,
38:16when the gun was empty,
38:18that she started
38:18hitting him with the gun.
38:19and I can't say
38:20that I saw any concern
38:21for her husband.
38:23And I'm thinking
38:23about the terrible shape
38:25that Paul was in
38:26and she's showing me
38:27an injury on her thumb.
38:30I don't know
38:30what her real motive was
38:32other than
38:33that she just didn't
38:33want to leave.
38:34She didn't want
38:34to leave that house
38:35and she didn't want
38:36to leave Paul.
38:37Her plans were falling apart
38:38and this was her last effort
38:40to stop her plans
38:42from falling apart.
38:44Now that we have
38:45a cause of death,
38:46we went back
38:46to further search
38:47the residence.
38:49We searched Leticia's
38:50silver BMW
38:51and that's where
38:53we found in the back seat
38:55a .45 caliber
38:56semi-automatic handgun.
38:58Ballistics show it
38:59to be the murder weapon.
39:01We ran the serial numbers
39:03on the handgun
39:03and the handgun actually
39:05had come back
39:06to a retired
39:07Air Force general.
39:09The general confirms
39:10he'd taken Leticia
39:11on a few dates.
39:13She had actually
39:14stolen his gun
39:15and it was a crime scene
39:18investigators found
39:19a copy of a lawsuit
39:20that had been filed
39:22against Leticia and Paul.
39:23The legal document
39:24sheds light
39:25on the serious troubles
39:26in the marriage
39:27involving another man
39:29Leticia started seeing
39:30a year before
39:31she and Paul
39:32lost the twins.
39:34March 2010,
39:36a gentleman friend
39:37of Leticia's
39:38had filed a lawsuit
39:39against her
39:40and named Paul Jandero
39:41as part of the suit.
39:43He was claiming
39:44that he had been
39:44taking advantage of
39:45and that she was
39:46basically milking him
39:47for money,
39:48pretending to be pregnant
39:49with his children.
39:50It seems the shy
39:52country girl
39:53of modest means
39:54is playing everybody.
39:56She is a master
39:58manipulator,
40:00very cold-hearted,
40:02very unfeeling.
40:04Paul talked to him
40:05and then went straight
40:06to a divorce lawyer.
40:07He wanted no part
40:08of any of this
40:09and just wanted
40:09to be done with Leticia.
40:11More evidence
40:11at the house
40:12proves Leticia bought
40:14the items needed
40:15to clean up
40:15after the murder.
40:16We located a receipt
40:18from Lowe's
40:19on the kitchen counter
40:20and the receipt
40:20was actually
40:21for the purchase
40:22of a 50-gallon tote.
40:26We were able
40:27to receive video footage
40:29of her actually
40:30purchasing that tote
40:31and walking out of Lowe's
40:32with that tote.
40:34Leticia,
40:35being a bodybuilder
40:36and very powerful
40:37and very muscular,
40:38she was very capable
40:40of putting him
40:41in the tote
40:41and dragging it
40:42down the stairs
40:43like she did.
40:51At trial
40:53in September 2012,
40:55Leticia Askew-Jandreau
40:57testifies on her own behalf,
40:59claiming she killed
41:00Paul in self-defense.
41:02but the crime scene
41:04evidence
41:05does not support
41:06her claim.
41:10It was clear
41:11that Paul was ambushed.
41:13There was one shot
41:14through the door.
41:16We believe
41:16that Paul was
41:17in his bedroom
41:18with the door closed.
41:19When he went
41:20to leave for work,
41:20she opened fire.
41:23She gets up
41:24that morning,
41:25takes a gun
41:25she'd stolen
41:26from her boyfriend
41:26about a week ahead
41:28and shoots
41:29into the room.
41:30That is not
41:31defending yourself.
41:32That's an attack.
41:34Paul had actually
41:34retreated back
41:35into the bedroom
41:36a little ways.
41:37Evidence shows
41:38that he was shot
41:38several times
41:39and then
41:40they struggled.
41:42She was able
41:43to overpower him
41:45and she struck him
41:46in the head
41:47several times
41:47with the gun
41:48causing the severe
41:49skull injuries
41:50to Paul.
41:54It was a good case.
41:56The investigation
41:56was very solid.
41:58however,
41:58you never know
41:59what 12 people
41:59are going to do.
42:00You always worry.
42:03But when Letitia
42:03took the stand
42:04she was just
42:05very calm.
42:07She told her story.
42:09She had no emotion
42:11throughout the trial.
42:14Consistently,
42:15she didn't cry.
42:16She didn't look angry.
42:16She didn't look happy.
42:17Just completely
42:17a blank face.
42:18Even when we had
42:19the medical examiner
42:20testify and it got
42:21fairly graphic,
42:22nothing,
42:23no reaction.
42:24That in itself
42:24is a little unusual.
42:25and she didn't look
42:26at all.
42:27The jury takes
42:28only an hour
42:29and 40 minutes
42:30to find her guilty
42:31of first degree murder
42:32and one count
42:33of larceny
42:34of a firearm.
42:35On September 28,
42:372012,
42:38she receives
42:39a sentence
42:40of life
42:40without parole.
42:42Letitia files
42:43for an appeal
42:44and in 2014,
42:46that appeal
42:46is denied.
42:49I believe
42:50that Letitia
42:51murdered Paul
42:52because she did not
42:54want to give up
42:54her lifestyle.
42:55Letitia's dating profile
42:57where she called
42:58herself Brown Sugar
42:59and had her picture
43:01of her in her bikini
43:02and oiled up,
43:04it was clear to me
43:05that she preyed
43:05on older,
43:06successful,
43:07widowed men
43:08or single men.
43:09She really just
43:12went for these guys
43:13who were
43:14fairly well-to-do
43:15and, you know,
43:16just successful.
43:18She had a type.
43:20There was a very
43:21dark side to her.
43:24There really was.
43:26Paul had some
43:27phenomenal friends,
43:28co-workers
43:29and neighbors.
43:30They watched his house
43:31around the clock
43:32and anytime anything
43:33changed over there,
43:34they let us know.
43:34During the investigation,
43:37the neighbors
43:37and the co-workers
43:38were reporting
43:39every move
43:40that Letitia made,
43:41which was helpful to us.
43:43It helped put
43:43the pressure on her.
43:44When you have pressure
43:46and you panic,
43:47you make mistakes.
43:48She made the mistake
43:48of keeping Paul
43:49in the garage.
43:51Everybody loved Paul.
43:53I mean,
43:54that's plain and simple.
43:55Everybody loved Paul.
43:56Why would you do
43:57that to him?
