Transcript

00:00Chased down a road in Jeff Davis County and shot to death.

00:05That's a god-awful thing.

00:08Who would kill a woman in such a horrific way?

00:12Just by the bed was a lock of hair.

00:16Couldn't have her. He had her hair.

00:19She told him how to sit, when to sit, where to sit.

00:23It was like she was talking to a dog.

00:26She was the third wheel. She was the fifth wheel.

00:29She was pretty much every wheel.

00:31I have walked up on them open-mouthed kissing.

00:35Instead of just going to bed in our bed, he'd go to bed in her bed.

00:40I'm sorry. That was furthest from natural.

00:46Sick, twisted people.

00:48They were more than mother and son.

00:51That's nasty.

00:52I guess it's mama.

00:59My name is Gary Orvin.

01:10My daughter just called me.

01:12She was like, oh my god, daddy, I think somebody's shooting at me.

01:16Where's your daughter?

01:17I kept asking her where she was, but the call went dead.

01:23Gary Orvin called 911.

01:25His daughter Nikki's being chased on the highway, being shot at.

01:31He's panicked.

01:32She's in danger.

01:33You'd never really prepare for this type of call.

01:42All her father knows is the car she has.

01:45It's a silver sedan.

01:46And that she would be driving on Highway 221.

01:54You've got to find where they're at quickly.

01:59They think she was probably somewhere between Uvalda and Hazlehurst, her home.

02:07In the rural area, there's no streetlights.

02:10You have to locate a vehicle by actively searching and hoping they have their headlights on.

02:16But it's not but about a mile from the river towards Uvalda.

02:23Police find a car fitting the description pulled off to the side of the road.

02:32The deputy approaches the vehicle.

02:36He sees a female in the car.

02:39Her left foot is outside the vehicle.

02:49She was leaned over the console.

02:52And the cell phone was in her right hand.

02:56He sees blood.

02:59This is not good.

03:00She was, at that point, deceased.

03:08There's a name tag on the victim confirming that it is 28-year-old Nikki Orvin.

03:15Here's a young defenseless woman slain brutally on the side of a highway.

03:20The first gunshot wound, which appears extremely bad, is to the facial area.

03:31It come in from her left side and exited to the right.

03:37You have aspirated blood on the dashboard, which means she was breathing at the time.

03:44Then there was a secondary wound, also to the left side, in the neck area.

03:54To see somebody in the prime of life, deceased, that's a god-awful thing.

04:02There's no other vehicles around.

04:04There's no weapon to be found.

04:05Was this a random act of violence or a targeted attack?

04:13Does she have children?

04:15Is she married?

04:16Does she have a family?

04:20As with any homicide, the whodunit comes into play.

04:25I got a phone call from my mother.

04:34It said that Nikki had been in an accident.

04:39At that point, I thought she had just been in a car accident.

04:45I drove to the highway.

04:49I see all the cop car lights and ambulance lights flashing.

04:53A cop came out waving me down, and I hollered at him.

04:58That's my sister in the accident.

05:00I need to see what's going on.

05:04He said, there's no easy way to tell you this.

05:08Your sister's dead.

05:15I remember I kind of fell to my knees on the asphalt.

05:18Right there on that road that night, I know part of me left.

05:38Nikki's name is actually Allison Nicole Orvin, but she went by Nikki.

05:44My dad's Gary.

05:47I am the oldest brother.

05:50Nikki is my only sister.

05:53And we were born on the same day, three years apart.

06:00It was fun growing up in the country.

06:03I enjoyed hunting, riding motorcycles.

06:08We were very close growing up in the middle of the world.

06:10We were very close growing up.

06:18The red hair.

06:21They say the red hair is the giveaway.

06:27And apparently my mother had flat feet.

06:32I'm real flat-footed, so there's that.

06:35From what I can remember, I feel like she was a very caring woman to me and my brother, Elijah.

06:51I didn't know what to think of any of it.

06:55I was too young to understand what was going on.

06:57We couldn't think of anybody that would want to kill her.

07:10As a chief investigator, this is the most unique case I've ever worked.

07:15The people here are hard-working, God-fearing people, and not involved in criminal activity.

07:29You get on a crime scene.

07:32It's a humongous puzzle.

07:33Many pieces.

07:35We have to start putting them back together.

07:37Immediately, you notice that the back window has been shot.

07:47And there was a four-inch gash on the roof of the vehicle.

07:53Looking at the car, officers found the right headrest on the passenger side of the car.

08:00The bullet had actually traveled through that headrest.

08:02And when you have that amount of spread, it suggests distance.

08:11But we started walking back from the vehicle.

08:16And lo and behold, beside the road, we have located a couple of shell casings, a .45 caliber.

08:24Which means somebody was shooting at her, going down the road.

08:32However, there's also one .45 caliber casing outside the vehicle.

08:41And one inside the vehicle.

08:45So somebody was also shooting at her just outside the door.

08:49Officers searched around the area and noticed something else.

08:57We found a footprint outside to be here.

09:02That was extremely important information to us.

09:06They take photographs and do an imprint and take that in as evidence.

09:10Everything suggests this young mother was chased down the highway, eventually being ran off the road, and shot in cold blood at close range.

09:23It's extremely personal to shoot someone within two to three feet of their head.

09:29You have to come basically face to face with them.

09:31This was a targeted execution.

09:37It makes your mind explode.

09:43Allison Bamberg chased down a road in Jeff Davis County and shot to death.

09:47One of the things you do in most homicide investigations, especially with women, is to look for lovers, husbands, personal relationships.

10:08Information came to the officers that Nikki had just finalized a divorce.

10:13She was murdered on Friday.

10:17Their divorce was just four days earlier.

10:21Obviously, police want to talk to her ex-husband.

10:24That's when things get really weird.

10:27Out of the blue, they get a call from a neighboring sheriff's department.

10:32The crime scene is Jeff Davis County.

10:36Nikki was coming from Montgomery County.

10:39We knew that from a phone call with her father.

10:42And who's there in Montgomery County reporting that his hand has been injured by Nikki, her ex-husband, Damon Bamberg.

10:55What's going on here?

10:57Nikki's ex-husband is 18 miles away in a neighboring county filing a report against her.

11:04Such a unique set of circumstances.

11:06He's right in front of them.

11:13They have to break the news that his ex-wife had been killed.

11:20But he doesn't quite seem to be taking the news in.

11:24It's kind of strange.

11:25And then outside, the deputy notices that there's two children in the back of Damon's vehicle.

11:36There's also someone else.

11:40Damon's mother, Sonia Bamberg.

11:42According to them, their sole reason for being there is to report that Damon's ex-wife, Nikki, had injured his hand during the exchange of children.

11:59Damon says Nikki rolled down the window and pinched his hand.

12:05He got some ice and then went straight to the sheriff's office to file a complaint of assault.

12:15Damon says he hasn't seen Nikki since the convenience store and went straight to the sheriff's office with his children and his mother, Sonia.

12:24And, of course, Sonia was there to verify he's obviously counting the truth because that's what I've seen.

12:31But law enforcement wanted to interview someone else, Gabriel.

12:39He was the six-year-old young son in the back seat.

12:45Gabriel was old enough to get an eyewitness.

12:50Could he describe the events as they transpire?

12:54I remember being in a room, talking with a detective.

13:03I didn't know what to say because I didn't even know what was going on.

13:07I was wondering if you would be open to listening to some of this recording that I have.

13:12Yes, yes, I'm, actually, I want to, yes.

13:16Yeah, I've, I've never, I've never, I didn't know there was one.

13:21So, do you sit in the back seat of the car when you're with your daddy?

13:26Does he have a car or a truck?

13:27A car?

13:28Um, mommy has a supercar.

13:31Whose car were you in?

13:33Daddy's.

13:36Did you see mommy in her car after y'all left the store?

13:39No.

13:40She went this way and we went that way.

13:44So when you leave the store, she goes one way and y'all go another way?

13:49Yeah.

13:51My mother went one way, we went another.

13:56That's exactly what Sonya and Damon had claimed.

14:00We cannot make sense of the situation here.

14:05And so Mount Benmore County released Damon and Sonya from the sheriff's office and allowed them to go home.

14:13Nicky met Damon working at a, uh, Walmart.

14:28I think Nicky probably liked that Damon was, uh, a big guy.

14:31I felt protected by him.

14:35She thought he'd be a good provider.

14:41Nicky had a Gabriel with her first marriage.

14:43And then she stayed single until she met Damon.

14:48As soon as they got married, couldn't have been more than a month or two.

14:52She was pregnant.

14:54And Elijah was born.

14:58Nicky was a good mom.

14:59Her life revolved around her kids.

15:07I don't think I've ever seen this one.

15:10I just remember growing up, my name was suddenly Bamberg.

15:14I remember with Damon, we would go outside and throw the ball around or maybe play a board game inside.

15:24Damon did adopt Gabriel.

15:26And I thought, well, this is a real stand-up guy.

15:30I had no reason to think otherwise.

15:32You know, I was very young, but from what I can remember, Damon could really be a tough, mean character sometimes.

15:49The, the discipline was, was different.

15:55We later found out he was just very mean to Gabriel.

16:02He was always getting on to him for punishment.

16:08Making him do weird, difficult things that a very small three-year-old child should not be doing.

16:15Stand in a corner, hold books in each hand and hold your arms out to your side and don't drop them down.

16:23As a kid, you don't understand things.

16:26And you don't see them for what they actually are.

16:28I believe Damon had a very bad temper on him.

16:35I told Nikki she shouldn't be letting anything like that happen to Gabriel or that she didn't want to be happening to him.

16:41But I think at the time, she was too scared to do anything about it.

16:44During the course of the investigation, they're checking things like, does Damon have a criminal history?

16:58So, investigators file a subpoena with Nikki's divorce attorneys looking for any type of documents that could be relevant to this case.

17:10That's when they discover something alarming.

17:12One time, Nikki was visiting a friend of hers from high school.

17:22Damon was jealous of her friendship.

17:26So, he comes over the house, extremely upset.

17:31Nikki went out to talk to him, you know, what's going on.

17:34He was extremely angry with her.

17:39He took a knife and threw it at their feet.

17:44The police were called for the threats that Damon made towards my sister.

17:50He threatened her multiple times, verbally, physically.

17:54We had reports from other agencies.

17:59At one point, law enforcement had to threaten to shoot Damon to keep them separated.

18:07We found out after this incident, she left him and moved into a women's shelter with the kids and filed divorce proceedings.

18:17She was filing the paperwork to get divorced.

18:24He was telling her all the time, I'm going to get custody of the kids.

18:28The kids are mine.

18:29They're not yours, they're mine.

18:32Nikki was genuinely scared.

18:41Now, the police now know Damon has a violent nature.

18:45He is hot-headed, reacts, and he doesn't mind using a weapon.

18:50But just because he's been violent before doesn't mean that he committed this crime.

19:00Damon lived with Sonia, which a lot of my side of the family, they thought it was weird.

19:08She was a little overbearing towards Damon.

19:16She told him how to sit, when to sit, where to sit.

19:21He did what she asked when she asked.

19:27I was dating Damon Bamberg at the time of the murderer.

19:32I met Damon online.

19:36We started talking on the phone.

19:39And then we met in person.

19:42And his mother was there.

19:45I was very shocked.

19:47It's not really something you do when you first meet somebody.

19:50We would make plans, and Damon would reply,

19:55well, we have to see what the mother person wants to do.

20:00She was the third wheel.

20:01She was the fifth wheel.

20:02She was pretty much every wheel you can think of.

20:07Anytime Damon had a woman in his life, his mom seemed to be part of the deal.

20:11My name's Andrea Mainwaring, and I was Damon's first wife.

20:21When Damon was around his mother, Sonia, he went to doing whatever mommy said to do.

20:28She would start having outbursts if she wasn't getting her way,

20:32and Damon was happy to do anything to appease his mom.

20:35When Sonia and Damon were around, you could tell something was definitely different.

20:47Just strange.

20:50It was very weird.

20:51It was like their dynamic was way too close.

20:56Nikki told me of instances of when she would walk in.

20:59You could tell a sudden separation.

21:03They had no boundaries.

21:05When Nikki left Damon, she finally decided to air it out.

21:12That's when Nikki told me that Damon and Sonia were more than mother and son.

21:22After the murder of Nikki, we released Damon and Sonia from the sheriff's office

21:28and allowed them to go home.

21:30But investigators are taking a closer look at the dynamic between mother and son.

21:37He got married about a year and a half after we met online.

21:53He's a correctional officer, which is a guy in uniform who doesn't like a guy in uniform, right?

21:58He was the whole package for me.

22:00So I'm like, where would it go wrong?

22:01A few days after the wedding, that's when the whole thing changed.

22:19Damon and I were in our own bedroom with our door shut.

22:22Sonia hated that because she couldn't hear what we were talking about.

22:30She was losing control on what was being said or being done in her home.

22:38And then there's things that Sonia would do in the home that was inappropriate.

22:42Her son's 25 years old, freshly married, and she's walking around the house in her underwear.

22:53He'll be taking a shower, and she'd go into that bathroom while he's taking a shower.

23:01Damon's excuse was, oh, well, it's just the two of us and this normal.

23:05And there'd be times when instead of just going to bed in our bed, he'd go to bed in her bed.

23:13What do you get out of that?

23:17There is an assumption that they may have even been sexually involved with each other.

23:27There was rumors all around Mount Vernon that they were in an incestuous relationship.

23:35I have walked up on Damon and Sonia, open mouth kissing.

23:43They played it off as if it was a natural thing, and I'm sorry, it was furthest from natural.

23:50Like, that was enough right there to make me go, okay, they are definitely doing some shady stuff.

23:57That's nasty.

23:59I guess it's mama.

24:00I had enough of Damon and Sonia's relationship.

24:07I explained to Damon, we needed to have our own place.

24:12And Sonia didn't like that.

24:15I said, I'm going to go, and you can join me or not.

24:21Because I couldn't be in that house anymore.

24:27Damon was upset.

24:28I said, you can't run away from this.

24:32And the next thing I know is I had a machete to my throat.

24:38We start to see a disturbing pattern emerge.

24:46Damon becomes their number one suspect, but they need more evidence that would put him at the scene of the crime.

24:52When Montgomery County Sheriff's Office released Damon to go home, we seized his boots.

25:04The footprint near the car was very close to the boots that Damon was wearing.

25:13We cannot say they're an exact match.

25:16That takes a laboratory.

25:16But we can say that they're close enough that a reasonable person would say, there's a connection.

25:25But we also found 245 caliber spent shell casings on the right side of the road, which would lead you to believe that the shots very well came from the right side of the vehicle.

25:42What that tells us is, in all likelihood, the driver of the vehicle would have an accomplice.

25:55And who was there with Damon?

25:59His mother, Sonia.

26:04Investigating officers believe at this point that they have enough to make an arrest.

26:10Sonia and Damon Bamberg were incarcerated in jail.

26:13But you need probable cause that they committed the crime to detain them.

26:27The shoe print outside of Nikki's car seems to put Damon at the scene of the crime.

26:32But what investigators really need to seal their case is the murder weapon.

26:36And they know from the casings that it's a .45 pistol.

26:39We went to Damon and Sonia's house.

26:45It was in disarray.

26:51Serving a search warrant, you don't ever know what you may come across.

26:54But what they do find in the house is things that you wouldn't expect to see.

27:02By Damon's bet, it was a lock of hair and a Ziploc bag.

27:07And it had Nikki's name on it.

27:12Why would you have a baggie of hair from your now dead ex-wife?

27:17The label on the outside suggests it had been kept for two years.

27:21It's beyond weird.

27:22It's creepy.

27:25Couldn't have her.

27:27But he had a part of her.

27:28He had her hair.

27:29That is strange.

27:30But that's not evidence.

27:35After an exhaustive search, detectives don't find the gun or anything that ties Sonia or Damon to Nikki's murder.

27:42But at that point, we find out some very interesting information.

27:53A .45 caliber gun was owned by the Bambergs.

27:58But not Sonia or Damon.

28:00It was Sonia's other son, Mark Bamberg.

28:08I don't know what else I can tell you.

28:11I don't want to be here.

28:15The question is, do we have the wrong Bamberg?

28:19I met Sonia and Damon through Mark Bamberg, the youngest brother.

28:34We were friends for about 11 and a half years.

28:39Damon hated Mark.

28:42Damon made his life such hell to the point where Mark moved out when he was 16.

28:48He couldn't be around him.

28:49Sonia's dynamic with Mark and Damon were completely different.

28:58Anytime Sonia would talk to Mark, it was like she was talking to a dog.

29:05She made comments about wishing that he was more controllable and he would listen more.

29:13You know, with most mothers, you can hear love when they speak to their children.

29:19There was none.

29:22The way they treated him like an outcast all the time, it really upset Mark a lot.

29:27Mark Bamberg, I just turned 28.

29:41Officer spoke to Mark Bamberg.

29:44During that conversation, they asked him if he had any guns.

29:53And he said, well, I had a .45, but it was stolen.

30:01He had a .45 caliber pistol in a truck parked on his property in the glove box.

30:06And sometime after Nicky's murder, he was looking for the pistol and it was gone.

30:12The question is, who would have access to your truck?

30:30The day that Nicky was killed, his mother and brother had been over to his house while he was working in a garage on his truck.

30:56And his mother actually came over and spoke to him.

31:02It wasn't until later that Mark discovers that his gun is missing.

31:07Now, that's quite a coincidence.

31:10But investigators need to prove that Mark's gun was actually used in Nicky's murder.

31:15The gun had been fired into a tree at James Fowler's house.

31:26I explained to the investigator that they were more than welcome to come look at the tree.

31:30And within a couple of hours, the tree was gone.

31:33Like, they cut the whole tree down and took it with them.

31:34So, we was able to retrieve the drones themselves and to match up ballistically the bullets that we found inside of Nicky.

31:49Mark, use your gun.

31:53Kill it.

31:55Oh, I have no knowledge of that.

31:58I know I didn't do it.

31:59There was never any information developed that Mark Bamberg had anything to do with the murder of Nicky.

32:10Mark was not involved.

32:12Sonia threw him under the bus.

32:16His gun was used.

32:18And if anybody was going to fall for the crime, it would be Mark.

32:25Not her.

32:27Not Damon.

32:28Mark.

32:30I had no idea that it hurt no one.

32:33No matter what she does, she's still my mom and I love her.

32:36He was just a pawn to her.

32:38Sonia and Damon Bamberg, while they were incarcerated, certainly were not in cells together.

32:53And based on their closeness, it must have been a problem for them not being able to be around each other.

33:01But some of the inmates, they would pass notes back and forth between those two.

33:10We had literally pages and pages and pages.

33:14And some of them were sickening.

33:19She would say things like, soon you will be in my arms again, and I will give you relief.

33:27Soon we will be able to service each other.

33:31It tells you of a mental plane that Sonia was riding.

33:41She flew way out of the realm of normalcy.

33:48Sonia had Damon, but she wanted grandkids so that she could start all over.

33:55They were smart enough to know that they couldn't have kids together.

33:58So, I believe Damon and Sonia wanted Nikki to be a baby factory.

34:03I think they watched her, studied her, figured they could use her to get however many kids that they wanted, and then try to do away with her.

34:24The time leading up to their divorce, I said, Damon, what are you going to do if they actually don't give you custody?

34:33And he said, well, Mom and I have decided that whether or not we get custody, we are going to get those children one way or another.

34:42Sonia Bamberg has a lot of control.

34:51During the course of our investigation, her involvement became clearer.

34:57And when the officers spoke to James Fowler, during the conversation, he told them something of interest.

35:05At a party one night, we were out at Mark Bamberg's house.

35:19We were having a bonfire.

35:21And Sonia and Damon showed up.

35:26I could tell that there was something on their mind.

35:29You could look at her eyes, and just the way she talked, the way she looked at you.

35:35There was something in her that just was uneasy.

35:39What she asked me, it was weird.

35:42I mean, it really was weird.

35:44So, we were all hanging around the night of the bonfire, and I was approached by Sonia.

35:57She just walked straight up and said, I'll give you $25,000 if you kill my ex-door-in-law.

36:03And, of course, it took me by shot, but I took it as just anger.

36:12You know, somebody was angry.

36:14They said something out of anger, and that's what it was.

36:20A Jeff Davis County mother and son are on trial for killing a woman back in 2008.

36:27Testimony started today in the trial of Damon and Sonia Bamberg.

36:33The tension in the courtroom was so thick, so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

36:41While I'm on the stand testifying, Damon is smirking at me, like he's going to get away with this.

36:55My focus was on the evidence.

36:58I don't deal with gossip.

37:00I deal with the facts.

37:01I didn't want to get into some character here.

37:04I'm focused on, did they commit this crime?

37:06And hopefully the jury would do the right thing and provide some justice for the family.

37:12Mr. Fowler was very believable about Sonia offering him that money to kill Nikki.

37:18He indicated that he was astounded by it and left.

37:25Based on that information, officers followed up on that and were able to determine that Sonia Bamberg had purchased a $50,000 policy on Nikki Bamberg.

37:36And guess who was the beneficiary?

37:43Sonia.

37:44The jury understood that.

37:47Sonia Bamberg wanted Nikki out of the picture.

37:50But we have to, at this point, prove a timeline.

37:58So Rayla's footage places Damon at a convenience store at 6.01, getting ice for his hand.

38:09We was able to recreate a timeline where at 90 miles an hour, Damon and Sonia could catch up to her car, commit the crime, and then make it to my Pembroke County Sheriff's Office by 6.20.

38:29It can't be done.

38:32We proved it.

38:35Damon Bamberg and his mother, Sonia Bamberg, were convicted of murdering Damon's wife.

38:40Today, a judge sentenced them both to life in prison, plus 30 years.

38:54The night that I was approached and asked to kill that young girl,

38:59I would have never imagined in a million years that the events that happened would have happened.

39:10And I'd have known.

39:12I'd have said something then.

39:17But I didn't.

39:19I feel extremely lucky to be alive.

39:31I know that if we had continued our relationship, I would probably be buried in a graveyard.

39:38There's no forgiving them.

39:51I don't think I can ever understand why they did that.

39:55I hope they stay in prison for the rest of their life.

40:03And I hope it's miserable.

40:04That's a sick, twisted group of people.

40:16My sister did not deserve what she got from them.

40:24They deserve everything they got and more.

40:26It's different growing up with your grandparents.

40:39I just try to imagine what life would be like today if she were here.

40:46Just, I try to think about, you know, how different everything would have been.

40:54She needs to be remembered as the, uh, the spunky, redhead, big-hearted girl that she was.

41:02My dad's first reaction says, they're going to kill me.

41:16Why would you do something like that?

41:18Very evil, twisted, and vile.

41:21She manipulated everyone involved.

41:24I didn't think my mom would traffic me off like that.

41:27I was in shock.
