00:00Actions based on real events and not intended for a young audience. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.
00:07It's Thursday night and the students at Woodrum Wilson High School in Portsmouth, Virginia, had a stroke of luck.
00:16They're leaving early.
00:18I dropped Megan off at school and told her to call me when she got home. And she said okay.
00:24Sophomore Megan Landowski runs home longing to be alone.
00:30I had a message on my phone that said, "Hi Mom, I'm home. I took the biology test, it was harder than I thought. I'll talk to you later."
00:37Okay, I love you, bye.
00:39As Megan begins to make lunch, she hears a strange noise coming from the other room.
00:46She's going to investigate.
00:47Hello.
00:48And he comes face to face with his worst nightmare.
00:52It's a sunny afternoon in a peaceful suburb, and evil has just found a new home.
01:00Best friend
01:02Mortal enemy
01:04Protector
01:06Assassin

01:12Unlikely suspect
01:17April 10, 2008
01:20In Portsmouth, Virginia, a distressed call to emergency services comes from the home of 16-year-old Megan Landowski.
01:27I am a marvelous sword.
01:29Yes, my daughter looks like your daughter was made.
01:32I'm in the blood right now.
01:34Cris, please.
01:36Megan's stepfather, Chris Short, is in the middle of a scene of extreme horror.
01:41Within moments, the hunt was surrounded by emergency personnel, and Megan was quickly pronounced dead.
01:51Multiple knife wounds were visible on his back.
01:56She had numerous injuries on both sides of her neck.
02:00Terrible cuts.
02:01She had multiple injuries that could have killed her.
02:06Homicide detectives Robert McDaniel and Carl Sequeira dissected the horrific consequences.
02:13She was naked from the waist down, her arms tied behind her back with tape.
02:20The attacker launched a merciless and prolonged assault.
02:25It was one of the most hateful things I've ever seen.
02:28And the number of injuries indicates to me that whoever committed the crime was indeed very angry.
02:39We discovered that 11 of the 43 stab wounds she suffered were post-mortem.
02:46She was already dead.
02:48It wasn't going anywhere, and yet you still strike with the knife.
02:52No 16-year-old should die like this.
02:55Angela, Megan's mother, is sent home from work.
02:59All I could see were fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, all those emergency teams.
03:08Nothing can prepare her for what she is about to hear.
03:11He told me...
03:13It's Megan.
03:17It's something you can't imagine.
03:21What happened? What happened?
03:24The eldest daughter is dead.
03:26At that very moment, I could no longer feel my body.
03:29I couldn't wrap my head around what he had said.
03:34The only thing I wanted to know was who had done that to my child.
03:40Megan was an exceptional teenager.
03:42Just meeting her changed his life.
03:46She was happy.
03:48She was funny.
03:50She was silly.
03:53And that's what made her a genuine person.
03:56Megan's playful nature was complemented by a dedication to a very demanding art form.
04:01We enrolled her in ballet when she was very young.
04:10She took off.
04:11And then, gradually, she started doing other dances.
04:16Becoming a ballerina was a lifelong dream.
04:19A dream that died that sunny afternoon.
04:22Investigators examine the bloody crime scene, searching for forced doors or shattered windows.
04:33Anything that would indicate that the killer had entered the house.
04:37There were no signs of forced entry into the house, but there was a sheet of paper in one of the rooms that was out of place.
04:44We picked up the leaf and went outside, where there were bushes under the window that were hitting the leaf.
04:50Same style of leaf.
04:51We think the suspect entered through the window.
04:56There are clear signs that the violent attack began upstairs.
05:02In the first room we entered, there was a woman's undergarment on the floor.
05:07The bed was completely knocked over.
05:10It has adhesive tape.
05:12We found the roll lying there on the ground.
05:15It had that plastic tip for tearing the tape.
05:18And there were some red stains inside, on the cardboard part of the roll.
05:25And I saw that it was blood.
05:26The same type of tape that the assailant used to tie up the victim.
05:30Crime scene technicians collect the bloodstained tape, along with bed sheets, comforter, and pillowcases.
05:41What disturbed me more than anything was seeing where the crime started and how it spread throughout the house.
05:48Investigators believe Megan was tied up and raped in her own bedroom.
05:57At some point, she must have escaped and fought her way to the kitchen.
06:03There was a lot of terror involved.
06:06She moved from one place to another.
06:09She fought hard.
06:11Around the body, the attacker's footprints are marked in blood.
06:20The killer is standing here, stabbing her.
06:24And she is dying.
06:25And he walks around.
06:26So, there are footprints.
06:28As if someone had performed a dance.
06:31There were many footprints.
06:34In the kitchen, there were more clues as to what had happened.
06:37We have a fire lit with an empty pot inside.
06:42We have a set of knives, but two are missing.
06:46We saw blood on the kitchen sink faucet.
06:50A lot of blood.
06:52At the bottom of the sink's curve is a small knife.
06:56It's one of the two that are missing from the counter set.
07:00And the one that was missing attracted the same attention.
07:02We started searching inside the house and also in the surrounding area.
07:07But there was no sign of her.
07:09As the police spread out, they realized that the fleeing killer had several options for getting rid of the knife.
07:16The streets are full of manholes, and they've started lifting the heavy steel covers.
07:23And guess what? There was probably a drain 120 meters from the house.
07:29There was the second knife.
07:31The various pieces of evidence found at the crime scene will take days to analyze.
07:37Time that investigators don't have in the hunt for Megan's killer.
07:42They immediately turn to another person who was in the house that afternoon.
07:46Megan's stepfather, Chris Short.
07:49He was our first focus because he was there and he was the one who reported the crime.
07:53Chris's footprints were also at the crime scene.
07:57So when you saw the body, she was still breathing?
07:59Were you able to feel the pulse?
08:01Could Megan's killer have been living under the same roof?
08:04The 37-year-old naval coroner joined the family in 2002 when he married Megan's mother, Angela.
08:13Almost every day, he works from nine to five at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth.
08:17Mr. Short.
08:19In the interrogation room, Chris tries to explain why he was home at an unusual hour.
08:26I knew Megan was home alone.
08:28He said he left work early so Megan wouldn't be alone at home.
08:33And what did he see when he got home?
08:36I saw the front door slightly open and...
08:41Megan!
08:42I told you a thousand times to close the front door.
08:47He said he arrived home and found her just as she was.
08:51There was blood everywhere.
08:53Dear.
08:54Chris tells investigators that his military training made him run to his daughter and check her pulse.
09:00Daughter, I'm here.
09:01He said he thought he had stepped in blood or that he was standing in blood.
09:05This would explain why Chris's footprints were around the body.
09:10Where was I that afternoon?
09:12The stepfather had a solid alibi.
09:14There were people at work who were with him all day.
09:19So this made it clear that he wouldn't be able to leave, go home, do that, and then go back to work.
09:26There would have been no way to take a shower or clean up in time without them seeing what had happened.
09:31Chris's entire story is investigated, and the detectives rule him out as a suspect in Megan's murder.
09:37Chris tells investigators that he is convinced the killer is someone he knows.
10:04That guy is a sick person.
10:07He should be investigated.
10:09A fellow sailor he had just met, named Hayden Rowley.
10:14He was one of those fast guys.
10:18He was being promoted rapidly.
10:21Rowley and his family were new to the neighborhood and visited the short house occasionally.
10:26Guys, guys, he's telling a story.
10:28Wow, that's great!
10:29Either we went to their house or they came here.
10:31Angela and Chris had no idea that Megan was hiding a terrible secret about Hayden Rowley.
10:39Megan started to become more withdrawn and her grades at school dropped.
10:47Your mother and I are worried.
10:49If there's something bothering you, I want you to tell me.
10:52I'm fine, Dad.
10:52And she continued to deny it.
10:56And finally I said, either you tell me what's going on, or you're going to get a big punishment.
11:03Fih.
11:04Okay, okay.
11:05Megan finally told her stepfather what she had been afraid to reveal before.
11:10You are very pretty.
11:13Hayden Rowley was sexually abusing her.
11:16That is great.
11:19What do you want?
11:20Megan told me what you did.
11:21Megan and her parents cut all ties with the Rowleys and reported their actions to the authorities.
11:29I wanted him to be prosecuted so that he wouldn't do this to anyone else's daughter.
11:36Special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, took over the case.
11:43As a naval officer, Rowley faced the swift justice of a military court-martial.
11:48Megan reported that she had been sexually abused.
11:53I told him to stop.
11:54I told him to stop, but...
11:56He forcibly kissed her and then forced her to perform oral sex on him.
12:01We were preparing for an Article 32 hearing, which is a probable cause hearing among military personnel.
12:08With Megan ready to testify against him, Rowley's life was about to implode.
12:15He had a wife.
12:17He lived in a very nice house, in a quiet area.
12:21And all of that was about to be... taken away from him because of what he had been doing.
12:27He would lose his job, his pension, and go to jail.
12:32Everything depended on Megan's testimony.
12:36With her out of the game, Rowley would never be convicted.
12:40Hey!
12:41No one else would do that to her.
12:43Get out!
12:44I thought he killed her so she wouldn't talk.
12:48Ah!
12:49Stay away from me!
12:51NCIS sends a team of investigators to the upscale suburb to take him in for questioning.
12:58Mr. Rowley?
12:59Yes?
13:00I told him that Megan was dead.
13:02He fell to the ground crying.
13:04No!
13:04I didn't know if he was acting or if he truly regretted what had happened.
13:09During questioning, Rowley denied any involvement in Megan's death.
13:14Please, guys, I would never do something like that to her, okay?
13:18What were you doing?
13:19He tells investigators that he did not leave the base on the day of the crime.
13:24Is there anyone who can confirm his whereabouts?
13:27Yes, my supervisor.
13:28We listened to him exhaustively and investigated his alibi.
13:34NCIS agents discovered that colleagues remembered seeing Rowley in the morning and late afternoon, but no one knew of his whereabouts in between.
13:43It was quite possible that he had left the office, gone to Portsmouth, committed the crime, and returned to work.
13:53Without a witness, there was only one way to account for those hours.
13:58The closed-circuit security system at the base.
14:01The video cameras at the gates he used were checked to see if his car had left.
14:07We were doing everything we could to determine what he was doing during that period.
14:13But it's a dead end.
14:16Rowley, or at least his car, was not seen entering or leaving in the hours leading up to Megan's death.
14:22For now, the flimsy alibi still holds up.
14:26While he is held in custody, agents search Rowley's home for anything that might link him to the crime scene.
14:36I think we found something.
14:37When they examined the personal computer, it became clear that the naval officer had something to hide.
14:43There was digital evidence that Rowley had tried to erase the hard drive, but hundreds of corrupted files remained.
14:51Illegal photos of children.
14:53Exits from the darkest corners of the internet.
14:58There were over 240 images of child pornography on the digital media seized from him.
15:05When we saw that on his computer, it raised alarm bells for all of us who were working on Megan's death.
15:13Hayden Rowley was desperate to eliminate all evidence of his sick perversion.
15:19Could Megan Landowski be the final loose end?
15:22Everything we had pointed to Mr. Rowley.
15:27At headquarters, Rowley continues to deny any involvement.
15:31This is absurd.
15:32There was no way to link him to Megan's murder, but he is charged with possession of child pornography and released pending trial.
15:41There was concern that he might run away.
15:43We put 24-hour surveillance on his house.
15:46Rowley remains at the top of the list, even though the investigation is also exploring other avenues.
15:51Reports of Megan's shocking murder are spreading through the community.
16:01People who didn't know us got emotional and took it personally.
16:09Megan was like a daughter to each of them.
16:13Megan had many friends in the community who came from two very different walks of life.
16:19There were the young people from Woodstrom Wilson and the other group from the old school.
16:25A prestigious arts program at Churchland High.
16:29Megan had begun her studies there, in the dance department.
16:33She participated in the Magnet program at Churchland School.
16:36She tried too hard to be the best there.
16:40She was a fantastic ballerina.
16:43She was very dedicated.
16:45He rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed.
16:48It was a golden opportunity to focus on her skill while being surrounded by talented students in other disciplines.
16:55Being surrounded by so many dedicated and talented peers was quite an experience for the young woman.
17:03But ultimately, school wasn't ideal.
17:07Megan switched schools before starting her second year.
17:10Hey!
17:11All good?
17:11She decided she wanted to study with the people who lived near her.
17:15That's when he transferred to Woodrow Wilson.
17:18Hey!
17:18Of all the people in Megan's life, there was one Woodrow Wilson student, 17-year-old Paige Andreas, who knew her best.
17:26Come on, let's go!
17:27Paige and Megan were best friends.
17:29Hi, welcome to the Megan and Paige Show!
17:32The two met when Megan's family moved to Portsmouth in 2004.
17:38They went to school together.
17:40They walked together.
17:41She was a good girl, but she had a complicated family life.
17:49Paige and Megan were best friends.
17:51Hi, welcome to the Megan and Paige Show!
17:55Paige also had a group of friends that Megan didn't know very well.
17:59AND...
18:00Paige was hanging out with the wrong people.
18:04Her friends had problems with the law, marijuana, that kind of thing.
18:11The detectives learned from these friends that Paige was revealing unusual details about Megan's murder.
18:18We learned that Paige was aware of what had occurred at the crime scene.
18:22It was not common knowledge among the public.
18:25Like Megan, Paige arrived home early that day.
18:28She lived across the street, so she would have the perfect vantage point to see or hear if anything strange was happening in the house.
18:38Paige is taken to the police station as a possible witness.
18:41Paige, where were you the day Megan was murdered?
18:45I was at home.
18:46But the testimony suddenly takes a strange turn.
18:49Where did you hear that?
18:51She adopted a defensive posture.
18:53She didn't understand why she was being bothered.
18:55Okay.
18:56Is that a question?
18:58She ended up playing the role of the difficult teenager.
19:00Is she too afraid to say what she knows?
19:03Or could there be something more sinister about the teenager's refusal to cooperate?
19:08When asked to provide a DNA sample, she refused.
19:12No way.
19:13So that puts you in the position of a potential suspect.
19:17Was she there when it happened?
19:18Was she part of that?
19:19Is there anything else you can say to help?
19:22The defiant teenager refuses to explain anything to the investigators.
19:27With no one else to turn to, they ask her to submit to a polygraph test.
19:31Were you in the house when Megan Landovski was killed?
19:34No.
19:35And the polygraph indicated that it was not true.
19:38The results of the lie detector test prove that Page clearly knew more than
19:42I was talking.
19:44The detectives show her photos of the crime scene, hoping to provoke an emotional response.
19:50Anything, so that she reveals what she's hiding.
19:53These are footprints from the crime scene.
19:55Do you recognize any of them?
19:56Page saw photos of sneaker footprints.
19:59If it were someone who had never seen that before, their reaction would have been quite casual.
20:04Look, I don't know what that is.
20:07Page did not have that reaction.
20:08Instead, she seems to recognize the distinct markings in the blood.
20:13As if I'd seen it before.
20:16We managed to get Page to the point where he would tell us what was going on.
20:20I recognize this one a little.
20:23She realizes, horrified, that the footprints may have been made by her brother, Tyler Andreas.
20:29The sole of her brother's shoe matched the footprints at the crime scene.
20:36And it was exactly the same size.
20:39Tyler immediately becomes the top suspect on the list.
20:44It turns out that Tyler was also of school age.
20:47He was younger than Megan and lived across the street from her.
20:50He knew her very well.
20:51Good to see you again.
20:53It's great to see you.
20:54Would you like something to drink?
20:55Oh, I want to.
20:55Are you thirsty?
20:56Over the years, Tyler grew closer to Megan because of his sister.
21:00Thank you very much.
21:01You're welcome.
21:02Hey Tyler, come here.
21:02Is it possible that he developed an attraction to the young ballerina that turned into a violent obsession?
21:12The 15-year-old boy is taken in for questioning.
21:15Tyler, where were you the day Megan was murdered?
21:18He quickly blocks all efforts.
21:21I don't know.
21:22He gave answers that were not appropriate to the question being asked.
21:26What was your relationship with Megan?
21:29I don't know.
21:30I don't think so.
21:31This raised many suspicions about him.
21:34I mean, you know, she was really cool.
21:36It turns out there was a good explanation for Tyler's apparent lack of cooperation.
21:42We discovered that Tyler was a student considered to have special needs in some areas.
21:47So, he didn't quite understand when we were talking to him, and sometimes he didn't even understand what we were talking about.
21:53The investigators collected the pair of sneakers and sent them to the lab to look for traces of Megan's blood.
22:00Later, Detective McDaniel receives an alarming message.
22:04He received a phone call from Paige's aunt.
22:07She had run away from home.
22:09Keep searching.
22:10Call me if you have any news.
22:12Paige was panicking because the police were closing in on her brother and she could be considered an accomplice.
22:19The following morning, Detective McDaniel finally locates the runaway teenager.
22:24And even?
22:25Good, good, very good.
22:26The night spent on the run affected her deeply.
22:28I was very scared.
22:30She said she was depressed and felt very pressured by what was happening.
22:35I wasn't there when she died.
22:38She explains her previous refusal to cooperate with the investigation.
22:42I spent a lot of time at her house, so I didn't know if I could be involved.
22:47She was too afraid to give us the DNA sample.
22:50There was still one unanswered question.
22:53How did Paige know the details of the crime that weren't revealed to the public?
22:57I overheard the detectives talking.
22:59They came to my house.
23:01She admits that she overheard the conversation between the police officers who arrived at the scene.
23:06She heard things that were said and pieced together other accounts that gave her an idea of what happened inside the house.
23:14Then the lab will comment on Tyler's tennis shoes.
23:18And everything changes.
23:19The pair of sneakers tested negative for traces of blood.
23:23The brothers seem to be just two troubled young men.
23:27Not cruel murderers.
23:32It's a truth in homicide investigations that if you don't solve a case within the first 48 hours...
23:38It will be difficult to find a solution.
23:40And 48 hours had passed, and we would start again without any suspects.
23:44From scratch.
23:45It was quite a difficult situation, you know?
23:49Investigators are renewing their focus on Megan's extensive social network.
23:55They spoke to everyone in her circle.
23:57Whether from church, the schools she attended, or ballet classes.
24:02Do you know if she had a boyfriend, any close relationships, people she hung out with?
24:06Like any modern teenager, Megan communicated a lot with her friends online, leaving behind a range of possible clues.
24:17Social media has been very helpful in finding out who the friends were that the parents didn't know well.
24:22In a meeting room at Portsmouth police headquarters, investigators study the intricate web of connections in Megan's virtual life.
24:31It was called Megan's room.
24:33The walls were covered with potential suspects.
24:36We looked at the list of names of the people she was holding hands with in the hallway, or things like that.
24:45She had many supposed boyfriends, which was typical of teenagers.
24:53It is clear.
24:54Most of these boyfriends are quickly removed from the list.
24:58It's nothing more than teenage infatuation.
25:01And they offer the DNA sample.
25:04Then they come to Kenneth Darvell, who is 16 years old.
25:08Do you want to pick me up after class?
25:09Sure, sweetie.
25:10Okay then.
25:11Like the others, the detectives also hope to remove him from the list.
25:15He was a friend of Megan's.
25:18He had a car, so he liked that.
25:21He took her home several times.
25:23Kenneth, go slowly, be careful.
25:27You're very silly.
25:28You're amazing.
25:30And you're a lucky one.
25:32On one of those occasions, Kenneth does something stupid.
25:36Bye, see you tomorrow.
25:37I'll be passing by here tonight.
25:38No, it won't.
25:40See you tomorrow.
25:41He left the house very quickly.
25:43And when he did that, the police stopped him for reckless driving.
25:48He was very arrogant towards the police officers.
25:50And Kenneth had a dark side.
25:53We discovered that he was involved with drugs.
25:56We explained to Megan that perhaps he wasn't the best company for her, and she agreed.
26:01What do you mean it won't work?
26:02I thought everything was fine.
26:04No, Kenneth.
26:04We can't be together anymore, okay?
26:06What?
26:06When approached by detectives, Kenneth appears pleasant.
26:11Okay, I'll send someone.
26:12And you'll find them at headquarters.
26:14But under questioning, the teenager begins to lose control.
26:18Where was she the day Megan was killed?
26:20It turns out he didn't have an alibi when we interviewed him.
26:23I went for a walk, I already said that.
26:25I like to go for a walk from time to time.
26:27He started going in circles, making up excuses.
26:30I don't know what you want me to say.
26:31What do you want me to say?
26:32And that's when he started feeling unwell.
26:34He vomited in the trash can.
26:37Kenneth's unusual behavior in the interrogation room alerts investigators.
26:44Was there more to the relationship between Kenneth and Megan than her parents and friends knew?
26:49Megan.
26:49He took it apart.
26:51He was sweating.
26:52He was nervous.
26:55He started to cry.
26:57Megan.
26:57Megan.
26:58I was sitting there.
27:00I was looking at that, thinking.
27:01That boy must have killed Megan.
27:04He would stay there, repeating it.
27:06I am really sorry.
27:07I didn't want this to happen.
27:10He was too shaken to finish the interview.
27:15Kenneth can't explain why he was so shaken.
27:18But the DNA will speak for itself.
27:21He agrees to provide a sample.
27:24And the police are obliged to release the suspect.
27:27When we finished talking to Kenneth, we wanted to track down where he was going.
27:32The best way to do this was by installing a GPS tracker in the car to know where it was going and who it would be meeting.
27:39After being released, Kenneth begins acting like a fugitive suspect.
27:44He was terrified.
27:45Every time he saw a police officer near his house, there was a reaction.
27:49His mother even went so far as to say that he was wondering when we were going to arrive to arrest him.
27:54The tracker quickly reveals that Kenneth was very anxious.
27:59It became clear that it had nothing to do with Megan's death.
28:02Instead, he was involved in an illegal business.
28:05He was receiving stolen precious metals.
28:08He was involved with stolen copper that was then resold.
28:11That was the guilt he felt during the interview.
28:14He thought we were after him because we knew he was involved in copper theft.
28:20The teenager's outburst in the interrogation room was simply a combination of being in the hands of the police and genuine grief over Megan's death.
28:28When the DNA results come back, Kenneth is definitively ruled out as a suspect in Megan Landowski's murder.
28:39As the weeks go by, the tranquil town of Portsmouth descends into a state of fear and frustration.
28:46Someone had killed a 16-year-old girl, and everyone wanted to know why we didn't have anyone.
28:52The investigation team is no closer to finding Megan's killer than it was on day one.
29:00It seemed as if our paths led to a dead end.
29:03OK thanks.
29:04There was a lot of frustration.
29:06Nearly 130 DNA tests were conducted on Megan's friends and acquaintances.
29:12Without yielding results.
29:13With few options left, an NCIS expert proposes a solution to narrow down the range of suspects.
29:20conducting a rare and expensive DNA test on one of the samples collected at the scene.
29:26We sent a sample of a doorknob to a laboratory for a biogeographical analysis of ancestors.
29:35The sophisticated test uses DNA markers to identify the suspect's ethnic heritage and isolate racial makeup.
29:42The test helped determine the killer's appearance.
29:48Okay, according to the DNA tests, the profile...
29:50The analysis showed that the sample donor was 72% sub-Saharan African.
29:57The individual should declare themselves African-American.
30:01Let's get it from the GIF.
30:02All good.
30:02It was a new direction in the investigation.
30:05We knew exactly who we were looking for and were able to narrow the search to African American individuals.
30:13Investigators are now scrutinizing every facet of Megan's life.
30:17Looking for African-American schoolmates or friends who have slipped under the radar.
30:22That's when they find out about a program Megan participated in.
30:28And many of the mentors were African Americans.
30:31We started by listening to the directors, the administrative team, and then we worked our way down to the counselors who were there.
30:38The NCIS agents soon track down Colin Yeller, Megan's favorite advisor.
30:43He was a young man in his 20s who could very well have had a relationship with Megan.
30:48Hey Megan, how are you?
30:49He admitted that Megan always talked to him and that they had a special connection.
30:55During the interview, however, Colin was evasive and reluctant to answer questions about his friendship with Megan.
31:02Examine this.
31:03To mean...
31:04We felt he was being a little less cooperative than other people we spoke to.
31:08He was a little more hesitant to talk to us.
31:11They asked him to take a routine DNA test, something everyone else immediately agreed to.
31:17Look, I mean, I can, but I...
31:20He thought for a moment and asked if he could do it later.
31:24Monday? Is that okay?
31:26Yeller promises to return to the station as soon as his schedule allows.
31:31But after missing the scheduled two hours, it becomes clear that it wasn't just a lack of time that was preventing the test.
31:38He informed the police department that he was not going to provide any samples.
31:42Look, sir, I was thinking about that and...
31:44We started focusing more on him because of his lack of cooperation and then his refusal to provide a sample of...
31:51From DNA.
31:52Without any direct evidence against Yeller, they cannot force him to provide the DNA.
31:57Are you sure you won't change your mind?
31:59So Special Agent Martin uses his creativity for what is called opportunistic collection.
32:04I found his car in the parking lot.
32:07We collected a sample from the doorknob to obtain a DNA sample.
32:11The sample is taken to the laboratory.
32:14And the police are trying to piece together the rest of the case against Colin Yeller.
32:18Dana?
32:18Yes?
32:19Come take a look at this.
32:20At that point, the investigation was beginning to focus seriously on him.
32:24We started doing several surveys of the past.
32:27We look for criminal records, all that stuff.
32:30Okay, just wait a second.
32:31But when the DNA results come back, the case hits another dead end.
32:36Colin Yeller is not a match.
32:39Whatever the reason for Colin's lack of cooperation, it had nothing to do with Megan Landowski's death.
32:46Sorry.
32:47This is a major blow to the investigation.
32:50We wondered, how long would it take us to find someone?
32:54The longer it takes, the more things cool down and the harder it is to solve the case.
32:58And we didn't want this case to end up in the archives.
33:03Six months after the crime, an anonymous tip sends the police back to Chutland High School, where Megan studied dance for a year.
33:12The informant said to listen to the bus driver who took Megan to school every morning.
33:17When I spoke to the driver, I asked her for a list of the names of all the students who used the bus.
33:24There were 13 students after Megan stopped going on the bus.
33:27I only knew of 12.
33:29We had already heard from everyone we knew who rode the bus with Megan.
33:35That's his point.
33:36But the driver remembers a 13th student that everyone else seems to have forgotten.
33:40He is a very good boy.
33:42He was so discreet that no one had even thought about him.
33:45The other young people who hung out with Megan never spoke about him either.
33:49Then Detective McDaniel finds the boy, a violin student at Chutland High, named Barnes.
33:57When he comes face to face with Barnes, McDaniel realizes he may have made a great find.
34:03The African-American teenage musician.
34:06A key trait in the DNA profile of Megan's violent killer.
34:10She was like a sister to me.
34:12Robert was a smiling and happy teenager who was in school solely for the music.
34:18I had a lot...
34:19He was very happy to talk about his relationship with Megan.
34:22She was like a sister to me.
34:27But it was at school that he formed a deeper connection with the graceful ballerina.
34:32He said in the interview that he played the violin.
34:35They had performed together on stage.
34:37Robert communicated with her through music.
34:41And Megan was in charge of the dance.
34:44We used to spend a lot of time together on weekends.
34:47Despite his calm demeanor with the police, the interview soon touched on a sensitive issue.
34:53They can provide us with their DNA.
34:54I asked for a DNA sample and he said he would have to talk to his mother about it.
34:59Then Detective McDaniel returns a few days later.
35:02The chewing gum that was supposed to be covered in Robert's saliva is compared to the DNA recovered from Megan's rape and murder.
35:21When the results come out, it's another dead end.
35:27The DNA is not compatible.
35:31The investigators are prepared to take a different approach.
35:34Then the experts reveal a shocking detail about Robert's sample that changes everything.
35:41The chewing gum didn't belong to a man, it belonged to a woman.
35:44Which means it couldn't be Robert's DNA.
35:47We believe he swapped the chewing gum he had in his mouth for another one that was in his pocket.
35:55Of course, this caught everyone's attention very quickly, because it seemed like there was an intention to deceive us.
36:02Robert's malicious trick lands him a trip to the police station.
36:07He arrives accompanied by his mother.
36:10This is crazy.
36:12I mean, he...
36:13He was so handsome.
36:15That's when the police show him the test results.
36:21Robert doesn't hesitate and calmly offers an explanation for the deception.
36:25As if he had already prepared for that moment in advance.
36:30He looked at me and said, it happened on a Thursday, and it was April 10th.
36:35He tells the police that Megan invited him that afternoon.
36:38But when she didn't open the door, he decided to enter through the window.
36:44That's when the story took an unexpected turn.
36:52He says he was confronted by this ghostly person.
36:56This armed man tells him to commit all those acts against the girl.
37:01Robert begins to describe in detail the orders he received from this mysterious man.
37:06who forced him to rape and kill Megan.
37:16None of the information matched.
37:18We also took into account that in the place where Megan was killed,
37:22There wasn't enough space for three people to physically be there.
37:25We didn't believe his story from the start.
37:33We thought it was ridiculous.
37:35Robert, I'm going to let you know that you're under arrest.
37:37due to the suicide of Nigga Lindowsky.
37:39OK.
37:41The teenager's fantastical story fooled no one.
37:44The best advice any mother could give.
38:11The investigators obtain Robert's actual DNA and send it to the laboratory.
38:17Within 24 hours, we knew it was a match.
38:23News of Robert's arrest spreads through Portsmouth.
38:27The city was left in disbelief.
38:29Everyone thinks the police must have arrested the wrong person.
38:32When I say there was a great reaction in the community,
38:36I can't perfectly describe its size.
38:40You have a boy with no criminal record,
38:42who never had, never had any problems with the law.
38:47And the community looked at us as if we had made a huge mistake.
38:51He was on his way to becoming what he always wanted to be.
38:54A success.
38:55But the DNA scattered throughout Megan Lindowsky's house doesn't lie.
38:59Now, certain of Robert's guilt,
39:04Portsmouth police and NCIS agents
39:07They can finally reconstruct the events that occurred on the afternoon Megan was killed.
39:16Robert Barnes went there that day.
39:18because he believed there was something more to his relationship with Megan.
39:21His desire for her became a great obsession.
39:25We don't believe he was invited.
39:27He broke into the house through an unlocked window.
39:34He went there with the intention of sexually assaulting her.
39:38Come back here!
39:38Stop! Robert, what are you doing?
39:41Let me go! Stop! Stop!
39:43There!
39:44There!
39:45Get away from me!
39:47Come back here!
39:48Ow! Let go! Stop! Let me go!
39:50The teenager was prepared for her resistance.
39:53There!
39:54Determined to fulfill the great fantasy
39:57like the girl he had wanted for so long.
40:02There!
40:03He had planned the scene exactly as he wanted it.
40:08To!
40:08But he hadn't expected Megan to react with such bravery.
40:13No!
40:13Wait a minute, girl!
40:15Megan ran downstairs.
40:16I think he planned to kill her, but it didn't happen the way he planned.
40:19That's when he started stabbing her.
40:21There!
40:22He grabbed a knife.
40:28And he began to strike her with uncontrollable fury.
40:31The attack was violent and aimed at the face.
40:37Then he grabbed a second knife, cutting himself in the process.
40:40In front of the detectives, Robert described the moment of Megan's death.
40:49with the cold detachment of a sociopath.
41:01When he was finished, Robert washed his hands in the kitchen sink.
41:09discarding one of the weapons used in the crime.
41:12He went out the front door and threw the second knife down the drain.
41:16From that moment on, the teenage prodigy returned to normal life.
41:23He ran home, cleaned himself up, and went to his violin lesson later.
41:29After the summer holidays, he started a new school year in Churchland.
41:34All this while detectives hunted down Megan's killers.
41:37In September 2009, Robert Barnes agreed to a special deal.
41:46The 17-year-old boy flees trial as an adult.
41:49which could result in a life sentence,
41:52by pleading guilty to the murder and sexual assault of Megan Landowski.
41:57During the reading of the sentence, Robert shows no sign of remorse.
42:02facing Megan's grieving family.
42:04It seems like it was just yesterday.
42:15I still wake up in the middle of the night.
42:18hoping to hear her voice or talk to her.
42:24She touched people when she was here, and she still moves people today.
42:28And that warms my heart.
42:32She was a good person.
42:36I miss the smile, the silliness.
42:39I miss the conversations.
42:41It was a part of me.
42:43And that part is gone.
42:44Robert Barnes was sentenced to 42 years in prison.
42:57He may be eligible for parole at age 60.
