00:00Jamie was a great guy. He was funny, smart, had a good soul, good heart.
00:06I tell mommy, we're really excited because we might get to go up and see her.
00:11Necky seemed like a nice girl.
00:13We were so happy for him.
00:15Say hi, daddy.
00:16But she was having to take pain medication.
00:19He was genuinely concerned.
00:21I don't think he ever imagined it, that he was going to have to investigate his own wife.
00:26Her personality was starting to change.
00:28He called and was telling me I was real nauseous and drowsy.
00:34We're here to check the welfare of a James Cabela.
00:37Something is up. This woman is not acting right.
00:40She was going down a deep, dark path.
00:42It's weird. I think somebody got killed.
00:58This is Jimmy, my brother, being introduced as part of the wedding party at my husband and I's wedding.
01:18Smiling, getting ready to start dancing, having a good time.
01:24All right, ladies and gentlemen, round of applause for your rival party.
01:28Jimmy was a great guy.
01:30He was funny, smart.
01:31He had a good soul, a good heart.
01:38Here is Nicky being presented as Mrs. Capello.
01:45And she's a little shy at first.
01:48The month prior, they had just gotten married themselves and seemed like a happy couple.
01:55We were so happy for him.
01:58Nicky seemed like a nice girl.
02:00Yeah, it was nice to see Jimmy happy.
02:02Jimmy Capello was born on May 27, 1981, in Buffalo, New York.
02:11He was an ambitious kid, easy going.
02:15He was always pretty happy.
02:17He always laughed a lot.
02:20He was able to relate well with people.
02:23Played a little bit of sports.
02:25He liked cars.
02:28Jimmy was a goof.
02:30He can make people laugh.
02:33He can make people smile.
02:35You're having a bad day.
02:37He can turn that right around for you.
02:42Unfortunately, Jimmy's parents' marriage breaks down while he and Jamie are still young.
02:47When he is 18, Jimmy and his mother leave New York State,
02:52eventually settling in Huntsville, Alabama.
02:55By that point, I was in nursing school.
03:00We would talk on the phone, and he was a talker.
03:04Thankfully, I was a listener.
03:08In 2006, a friend of Jimmy offers him a new career opportunity.
03:13Jimmy sort of fell into private investigation.
03:17It wasn't something that he reached out to.
03:20It sort of landed on his lap.
03:23He entertained it.
03:25Realized he was really good at it.
03:27Oh, I was excited for him.
03:30Jimmy was great at his job.
03:32He dove right into it.
03:34On June 16, 2008, Jimmy's personal life changes, too.
03:39Jimmy met Nicky when he was 27 years old.
03:44He was riding his motorcycle and saw her on the corner.
03:53I think she was in the car, and I guess they locked eyes.
03:57He turned his motorcycle around and introduced himself.
04:01Jimmy was very excited to introduce Nicky to us.
04:06We flew into Alabama.
04:08Nicky ended up picking us up at the airport.
04:12She was so silly and so giddy and so nervous.
04:18She was studying nursing, and I was a nurse.
04:24It gave Nicky and I something to talk about instantly.
04:26They were happy, holding hands, hugging.
04:31I felt like she was a great person for him.
04:35I think he knew within himself that he was going to marry her,
04:40and he acted on that very quickly.
04:44Jimmy and Nicky got married in July 2010 in Huntsville, Alabama.
04:49Beautiful wedding.
04:50It's the end of the night, and it's time for them to depart.
05:06They're both on bikes.
05:08It was Jimmy's idea.
05:11Then Jimmy stops and does a burnout,
05:13and they're off in the sunset.
05:17Or the sun down.
05:20Just four weeks later,
05:24Jamie marries Florida-based firefighter Chris Weiss.
05:28Jimmy was a groomsman at our wedding,
05:31and he was pretty good at keeping me calm.
05:36You know, here's another drink, here's another drink.
05:37Just trying to relax, you know.
05:39It was a really good time.
05:42I was excited for him.
05:44I thought Chris was a great guy,
05:46and Jimmy was in love with Nicky.
05:48It was a good year.
05:51It was a good year for us.
05:54On August 5, 2014,
05:56four years into their marriage,
05:59Nicky gives birth to a baby girl.
06:01They name her Riley.
06:03This is Riley as an infant.
06:07Hiccups and all.
06:10Diaper that's too big for her.
06:12And you can hear him saying shh and tapping her on the belly.
06:22Like, it's going to be okay.
06:24As Riley grows, Jimmy and Nicky balance parenting and work.
06:29I tell Mommy, we're really excited because we might get to go up and see her.
06:33See her in work action.
06:38And work action.
06:40Say, hi, Daddy.
06:42I'm helping Mommy cook.
06:44Because I can't be put down.
06:46Even when the other one was working,
06:48she was sending video clips of Riley to him.
06:51He was sending video clips of Riley to her.
06:55See, we tried FaceTiming you,
06:56but you didn't answer,
06:57so we're just going to send you a video.
07:00See, it's about bath time.
07:03Is that Riley?
07:04Can you say hi, Daddy?
07:07Say hi, Daddy.
07:08They were over the moon.
07:09Hi, Daddy.
07:16This is Christmas in Buffalo
07:18with the whole family.
07:20All the grandkids excited about opening all their gifts.
07:26I think Riley was possibly about a year old.
07:31It was great to meet and keep the kids in contact with each other.
07:38But you are never prepared for how much money it takes
07:42to provide for another human being.
07:46I remember a visit up in Alabama.
07:53Riley was just a little bit older at this point.
07:56They were having a little bit of financial trouble.
08:00We helped them out a little bit.
08:02And I remember one afternoon,
08:06my brother was working,
08:07and Nikki suggested,
08:08hey, let's go to this outdoor mall.
08:10They have restaurants there.
08:11And I'll never forget
08:13one of the stores that
08:15we walked into.
08:17And she bought a watch.
08:20And the watch wasn't cheap.
08:23It caught me off guard.
08:25You're experiencing
08:26a little bit of financial hardship,
08:28but you bought something for yourself.
08:32I thought it was a
08:33little bit of a selfish move.
08:35I don't think Jimmy ever knew about that purchase.
08:41And it made me wonder
08:44what else he didn't know.
08:48What else she did without him knowing.
08:56Now with a growing family,
08:58Jimmy Capello throws himself into life
09:00as a father and husband.
09:02What's up, Ronnie?
09:04But Jamie becomes aware
09:05of an ongoing problem of Nikki's.
09:08We would be walking together
09:11where she would like
09:13walk a little bit funny,
09:15make a little
09:17grimace.
09:19And I said,
09:20well, what's going on?
09:22Oh, it was an injury
09:23that occurred before.
09:26First time I asked Jimmy,
09:28he was genuinely concerned.
09:29He wants to figure out
09:31what's causing it.
09:32Say mama, mama.
09:34Say mama.
09:36No.
09:37Sorry.
09:39But,
09:40yep.
09:41All's good.
09:42He's like,
09:43let's get massages done.
09:46Let's go for physical therapy.
09:49Let's exercise.
09:51We got to figure this out.
09:52She was having to take pain medication.
09:57And my brother was concerned.
10:00She wasn't getting relief.
10:03Soon after,
10:04Jimmy's concerns turned to alarm.
10:07He discovers Nikki
10:08is leading a double life.
10:10He had found out that
10:11she opened up a bank account
10:14without him knowing.
10:16Different purchases that were made
10:18that he didn't know about.
10:20and that she had contacted
10:22an ex of hers.
10:25So they started having
10:25some trust issues.
10:28In 2016,
10:29six years into their marriage,
10:31Jimmy finds a disturbing set
10:33of messages
10:33on Nikki's phone.
10:35He had found out
10:36that she had contacted
10:37a drug dealer.
10:39Now she's meeting people
10:41off the streets
10:42for pain medication.
10:45But even worse,
10:46in the message thread,
10:47she had asked
10:49this drug dealer,
10:51is it safe
10:51if my daughter is with me?
10:53Because I have
10:53my daughter with me.
10:56Jimmy was so upset.
10:57He put a quick
10:58halt to it.
11:00He's expressing this to me
11:01in a phone conversation
11:03that he's so confused.
11:05What do I do?
11:07I struggled with
11:08trying to find
11:09the right words
11:10to help him
11:11through this.
11:12As a mother,
11:14how could you
11:15in so many ways?
11:16I was furious.
11:18I was mad.
11:19Right?
11:19For better or worse,
11:20it is a thing.
11:21But when you're
11:24willfully taking
11:26advantage of people
11:27and putting your child
11:28in danger,
11:29it's unacceptable.
11:32I started questioning
11:33if I even really knew
11:35who Nikki was.
11:37Maybe I didn't know
11:38her at all.
11:39But Jimmy still wanted
11:41to work on the relationship.
11:42They had a daughter.
11:43He still wanted
11:45this white picket fence
11:47and he wanted
11:48that with her.
11:50Nikki promises
11:50to make a change.
11:52But over the following
11:53months,
11:53other people start
11:55to notice strange behavior.
11:56She was falling asleep
11:57at work
11:59and she would leave
12:01the unit,
12:02not come back
12:03for some time.
12:05Manager pulled her
12:06into the office
12:07office and they said
12:09your behavior
12:10at work
12:11is concerning.
12:13You no longer
12:15have a job.
12:18She told Jimmy,
12:20but it was
12:21downplayed
12:22and it was more
12:23of the employer's
12:25fault
12:25than her fault.
12:27With his wife
12:30now out of work
12:31and their income
12:32slashed,
12:33Jimmy carries
12:34all the responsibility
12:35for his family.
12:36Jimmy works
12:3760, 70, 80 hours
12:38a week.
12:38Kim's gone
12:39for long hours.
12:41And on the cameras
12:42that they have
12:42inside their home,
12:44there's Nikki
12:44on the couch
12:45while Riley's
12:47unsupervised,
12:47just walking
12:48around the house,
12:49you know,
12:49doing what she wants,
12:50watching TV,
12:51getting into stuff.
12:53Been a fireman
12:54for 20 years
12:55and children
12:57left unsupervised
12:59can be a terrible
13:00thing.
13:06You gonna do
13:07a cannonball?
13:07Mm-hmm.
13:11With Nikki
13:12under the influence
13:13of pain medication
13:14at home,
13:15Jimmy often
13:16has no choice
13:17but to bring Riley
13:18to work with him.
13:21You're silly.
13:23This was around
13:23the time
13:24when Jimmy
13:26was growing
13:27more concerned
13:28about Nikki.
13:31It was taking
13:32a toll
13:32on their marriage,
13:34trying to put
13:34all your energy
13:35in both ends
13:37of your life,
13:37your work life,
13:38and still trying
13:39to keep Riley stable.
13:41Much to Jimmy's relief,
13:43a glimmer of hope
13:44appears in the summer
13:45of 2017.
13:47Nikki gets this
13:48new position
13:49at this other hospital.
13:51she's gonna be
13:53a charge nurse
13:54and maybe even
13:55become a manager.
13:57She's excited,
13:58he's excited,
14:00maybe this will
14:00help her.
14:02Nikki's pain
14:02seems to lessen
14:03and her new job
14:05quickly eases
14:06the couple's
14:06financial stress.
14:08The house
14:09that they were in,
14:10neighborhood,
14:11I thought,
14:11was getting a little
14:12bit sketchy
14:13in here.
14:13So they moved
14:14to a little
14:15upper-scale
14:16neighborhood.
14:18It was bigger
14:18house, bigger garage.
14:20With Nikki now
14:21working,
14:22Jimmy finds
14:23more time
14:23for himself.
14:25Plus dip is silver
14:26and I can't
14:26get that off,
14:27so I'm gonna
14:28sand it off.
14:28I'm probably gonna
14:29wrap the car
14:30because it's
14:30actually pretty bad.
14:32So at this point,
14:32Jimmy's moved on
14:33from motorcycles
14:34to cars,
14:35so he bought
14:36a Corvette.
14:37Riley, Riley,
14:38it's learning time,
14:39right?
14:39What is this?
14:42Engine.
14:42Engine.
14:43What is this?
14:44What is this?
14:46A supertizer.
14:49Yeah,
14:50and what is this?
14:51This is Riley
14:52spending time
14:53with her daddy
14:54in the garage
14:54and he is
14:57quizzing her
14:58on the different
15:00parts of the car,
15:02asking her,
15:03what is this?
15:04She had a toy
15:05vehicle and when
15:08he would be
15:08in the garage
15:09working on his car,
15:12he would also
15:13help her work
15:14on her car.
15:15In April 2018,
15:2210 months after
15:23Nikki starts
15:23her new job,
15:25the family gather
15:26for a celebration.
15:27Nikki and Jimmy
15:28drove down to
15:29Florida for
15:30my grandkids'
15:32birthday.
15:33And we're sitting
15:34at the table
15:34and Nikki's
15:35sitting across
15:36from me,
15:37barely able
15:38to keep her
15:39eyes open.
15:40She wasn't
15:41focused.
15:42She would be
15:43looking,
15:44looking through
15:44she didn't
15:46know where
15:46she was.
15:48Jimmy would
15:48say,
15:49go upstairs
15:49and then
15:50like,
15:51shuttle her
15:51off to bed
15:52and he would
15:52come down,
15:52sorry,
15:53she's just,
15:53you know,
15:53she took her
15:54medicine,
15:54makes her tired.
15:55So,
15:56the boys'
15:57land had a
15:57couple beers
15:58at a local
15:58bar and
16:01I remember
16:02sitting there
16:02on the couch
16:04and the kids
16:04and the kids
16:04were in bed
16:05and Nikki
16:07sat across.
16:08She never
16:09said a word.
16:11I don't think
16:11we spoke one
16:12word to each
16:13other.
16:16She couldn't
16:16keep her eyes
16:17open and she
16:18was just on the
16:19couch,
16:19slumped over,
16:21breathing like
16:21eight times a
16:22minute.
16:24I knew what
16:25this was.
16:26I could see
16:27it.
16:28Her personality
16:29was starting to
16:30change.
16:30she wasn't
16:32that bubbly
16:33person anymore.
16:35She was
16:35going down
16:36a deep dark
16:37path and
16:38Jimmy was
16:39losing hope
16:39that he could
16:40actually fix
16:41this situation.
16:50When that
16:51visit was over
16:52with,
16:53he called me
16:54the next day
16:55and I said,
16:57Jimmy,
16:58this is
16:59concerning.
16:59we're at a
17:01dangerous point
17:01now.
17:02And he says,
17:04Jamie,
17:05I know.
17:07I don't want
17:07to be like
17:08dad.
17:09I don't want
17:10to go through
17:10divorce.
17:11I said,
17:12you have got
17:13to know
17:13what she is
17:14taking.
17:15I know it's
17:16breaking his
17:16heart.
17:18Now, I don't
17:18think he ever
17:19imagined it.
17:20He was going
17:20to have to
17:21investigate his
17:21own life,
17:22but he did.
17:25He was able
17:25to start
17:26documenting
17:27everything that
17:28she was doing.
17:29He starts
17:32sending me
17:32pictures of
17:34random things
17:35he's finding
17:36in her work
17:37bag.
17:38And he sent
17:40a picture of
17:41two pills,
17:44oxycodones.
17:46They were still
17:47in their
17:48original paper
17:49wrap.
17:50and I said,
17:52Jimmy,
17:52this is only a
17:53medication you
17:54can get from
17:54the hospital.
17:56I said,
17:56she stole
17:57that.
17:58That is not
18:00good.
18:02Jimmy finds
18:03drugs that are
18:03not typically
18:04used for abuse.
18:06Why in the world
18:07would she have
18:08a bottle of
18:09insulin?
18:10why would she
18:12have a box
18:13of lancets?
18:16Lancets are
18:17used when
18:17you're a
18:18diabetic to
18:18get a little
18:19blood sample.
18:20I mean,
18:21this was a
18:21big puzzle.
18:29Summer
18:302018.
18:31The whole
18:32family gather
18:33in Huntsville
18:33for Riley's
18:34fourth birthday.
18:36The party
18:36was going
18:37great.
18:37kids were
18:39having a
18:39blast.
18:40Come on,
18:40JJ.
18:42I just
18:43noticed
18:43Nikki was
18:44off.
18:46She didn't
18:46participate.
18:48I don't know
18:49if it was
18:49because she
18:50wasn't getting
18:50attention.
18:52It seemed
18:53like there
18:53was an
18:54issue.
18:56She was
18:56irritable,
18:57getting short
18:58with Riley.
19:00Jimmy tries
19:01to get
19:02Nikki in a
19:03better mood.
19:04He tries to
19:04shove her
19:05into the
19:05baby pool,
19:07you know,
19:07as it
19:07as a joke,
19:08get her
19:08wet.
19:09Oh, no,
19:10she didn't
19:10like that.
19:13She
19:14immediately
19:15went inside
19:16the house,
19:17went in
19:18the kitchen
19:18cupboard,
19:19and took
19:20a pill.
19:24Jimmy is
19:25feeling all
19:25kinds of
19:26emotions,
19:27all kinds
19:27of desperation.
19:29He wandered
19:30her off
19:31the medications.
19:32things.
19:34In the
19:34following days,
19:35however,
19:36Nikki's
19:37behavior
19:37suddenly
19:38changes.
19:39He says,
19:40I went
19:40in her
19:41work bag,
19:42not even
19:43an alcohol
19:44swap in
19:45her work
19:45bag.
19:46Nothing.
19:50At this
19:51point,
19:52I believe
19:53that Nikki
19:54was in
19:55fear,
19:56and was
19:58trying to
19:59figure out
19:59a way
20:00around a
20:01situation.
20:04On
20:04September 11,
20:052018,
20:07James Capello
20:08gets a
20:08worrying call
20:09from his
20:09son.
20:11He called
20:11and was
20:12telling me,
20:12he says,
20:13God,
20:13I felt
20:14horrible
20:15yesterday.
20:15I couldn't
20:16focus.
20:17I was real
20:17nauseous and
20:18drowsy.
20:19He was
20:21talking about
20:21the confusion.
20:22He was
20:23so confused.
20:24He said
20:25he couldn't
20:26even count
20:26money.
20:27He talked
20:28about how
20:29he fell
20:30down the
20:30stairs.
20:32I was
20:33set back.
20:34I was
20:34really surprised.
20:36He was
20:36fairly healthy.
20:37He never
20:38had really
20:39any issues.
20:41He said,
20:42I feel
20:43fine now.
20:45I said,
20:45well,
20:45you should
20:46go get
20:46checked
20:46out.
20:47Jimmy was
20:49convinced
20:49that
20:50Nicky was
20:52drugging
20:52him.
20:53He was
20:53so convinced
20:55that he
20:56said to
20:56me,
20:57Jamie,
20:57if anything
20:58happens to
20:59me,
21:00you are
21:03to get
21:03Riley.
21:07And I
21:08thought,
21:08that's
21:09ridiculous.
21:10I didn't
21:11believe that
21:12Nicky was
21:12drugging
21:13him.
21:15She is
21:16a nurse.
21:20After
21:21talking to
21:21his family,
21:22Jimmy returns
21:23to work.
21:24But a week
21:24later,
21:25he messages
21:26Jamie again.
21:28I was
21:28at work.
21:30I get a
21:30text message
21:31from Jimmy
21:32a little
21:33after 10
21:33o'clock
21:34at night.
21:35And it
21:35said,
21:36today sucked.
21:38I had
21:38another episode.
21:40I called
21:40him.
21:41And he
21:42answered
21:43the phone.
21:44and he
21:45was
21:46anxious.
21:48He
21:48couldn't
21:49form his
21:49words
21:50correctly.
21:52Nicky gets
21:53on the
21:53phone and
21:54I'm like,
21:54what is
21:55going on?
21:56And she
21:56said,
21:58what Jimmy
21:58is experiencing
21:59are classic
22:01signs of
22:02hypoglycemia.
22:02And I
22:05said,
22:05please,
22:06please,
22:06please take
22:07him to
22:07the doctor
22:08tomorrow.
22:09Please.
22:09She said,
22:10I will.
22:10I will.
22:11I'll take
22:11care of
22:11him.
22:12Jamie
22:12calls
22:13Jimmy
22:13first thing
22:14the following
22:15morning.
22:15He
22:15doesn't
22:16answer
22:16his
22:16phone.
22:17So I
22:18text her.
22:20I said,
22:20hey,
22:21how is
22:22he?
22:23She said,
22:23oh,
22:23he's doing
22:24fine.
22:25He woke
22:25up and
22:26he went
22:27off to
22:27work.
22:28So at
22:29this point,
22:30I'm thinking
22:31he's doing
22:32what he's
22:33doing.
22:34She's going
22:34to get him
22:34to the
22:35doctor and
22:36it was
22:36going to
22:36be okay.
22:38But despite
22:39what Nikki
22:40tells Jamie,
22:41Jimmy doesn't
22:41make it to
22:42work.
22:43His
22:44colleagues
22:44contact the
22:45police.
22:47The Huntsville
22:48Police Department
22:49first got a
22:50call about
22:50Jimmy from
22:51his coworkers
22:51probably between
22:52nine and
22:53midnight,
22:54Thursday night,
22:56just saying
22:56that we'd
22:57like to do
22:58a welfare
22:58check.
22:59He's not
22:59been at
23:00work like
23:00he's supposed
23:00to be.
23:068013,
23:07nobody's
23:07answering the
23:08door,
23:08so all
23:09the lights
23:10are on,
23:10both cars
23:11in the
23:11driveway,
23:12dog's
23:12barking his
23:13head off.
23:14Finally,
23:14they get
23:15some sort
23:15of remote
23:15doorbell
23:16thing where
23:17Nikki
23:17Capello
23:18answers.
23:18We're
23:19here to
23:19check the
23:19welfare
23:20over
23:20James
23:20Capella.
23:26Can you
23:26come talk
23:27to us
23:27to the
23:27door,
23:28please?
23:31Hey.
23:35Sorry.
23:37How long
23:38have y'all
23:38not heard
23:39from him?
23:40I saw
23:41him this
23:41morning at
23:41five.
23:42My daughter
23:43was being
23:43up at
23:43nine.
23:46He was
23:47at home,
23:47and I
23:48assumed that
23:48he had
23:49been to work
23:49with his
23:50coworkers,
23:52but apparently
23:53nobody's
23:54heard from
23:54him.
23:55His stuff
23:56is here
23:56as he
23:58would
23:58normally
23:58take
23:59anything.
23:59It's just
24:00odd.
24:01When can
24:02I file
24:02a missing
24:03person?
24:04You can
24:05now if
24:05you want.
24:07I may
24:07wait until
24:08tomorrow
24:08if he
24:09turns up.
24:10Okay.
24:11I don't
24:12know where
24:12he would
24:12have gone
24:13or anything
24:14like that.
24:15Okay.
24:15I don't
24:17know.
24:17Well,
24:18like we
24:19said,
24:20if you
24:20want to
24:21file it
24:21now or
24:21if you
24:21want to
24:22wait,
24:22it's up
24:22to you.
24:24If not
24:24tonight,
24:25we'll get
24:25out of your
24:25hair and
24:25let you
24:26get back
24:26to sleep.
24:27He seemed
24:28completely
24:28unfazed that
24:29police were
24:30there in the
24:30middle of the
24:30night to
24:31say people
24:31are worried
24:31about your
24:32husband and
24:32we don't
24:32know where
24:32he is.
24:33It did
24:34not seem
24:34to ping
24:34her radar
24:35at all.
24:37It's
24:37weird.
24:38I think
24:39somebody got
24:39killed.
24:45The next
24:51day rolls
24:51around and
24:53I get a
24:54text message
24:55from my
24:55mom.
24:56Have you
24:57heard from
24:57Jimmy?
24:58He's
24:58missing.
25:00She said
25:00his car,
25:02his keys,
25:03his wallet,
25:04everything's at
25:05the house,
25:05but he's
25:06not there.
25:08I'm like,
25:09nobody's heard
25:10from him.
25:10This doesn't
25:11make any
25:11sense.
25:14I call
25:15Jimmy.
25:15He didn't
25:16answer.
25:17I call
25:18Nikki and
25:19she picked
25:19up the
25:20phone and
25:21I was like,
25:21Nikki, talk
25:22to me about
25:22this.
25:23Nikki didn't
25:24sound worried.
25:25She wasn't
25:26worried at
25:26all.
25:28I asked
25:29her, do we
25:30have the
25:30police department
25:31involved?
25:32She said
25:33that she was
25:34advised that
25:35it was best
25:36not to file a
25:37missing persons
25:38report yet.
25:39Not enough
25:40time has
25:40passed.
25:41I was so
25:42confused and
25:44she said,
25:45Jamie, what
25:47if Jimmy
25:48doesn't come
25:49back?
25:50I have to
25:51worry about
25:51Riley and
25:52I.
25:53Her reactions
25:53were not
25:54normal for a
25:54husband that
25:55was missing.
25:56And I just
25:56said, I'll
25:57call you
25:58later.
26:01By mid
26:02morning, with
26:02growing pressure
26:03from Jimmy's
26:04family and
26:05co-workers,
26:06Nikki finally
26:07calls in a
26:08missing persons
26:08report.
26:09They sent
26:10another patrol
26:11officer out
26:11there just to
26:12check the
26:12house.
26:13Does James
26:14Capella live
26:15here?
26:17We're not
26:18home.
26:19Nikki is at
26:20her mother's
26:21house.
26:21They can't
26:21communicate real
26:22well through
26:22the doorbell.
26:23Finally says,
26:23look, give me
26:24your number and
26:24I'll just call
26:25you.
26:26And he doesn't
26:26have anything
26:27going on where
26:28he may have
26:28gone out of
26:29town for
26:30something?
26:31No, sir.
26:33I searched
26:34both his
26:34vehicles.
26:35Obviously, he
26:36wasn't in
26:36there.
26:37His work
26:38stuff was,
26:39along with
26:39his keys,
26:40wallet,
26:41and cell
26:41phone.
26:42After the
26:43patrol officer
26:43talks to her,
26:44he calls the
26:45missing persons
26:45detective and
26:46says, look,
26:47boss, I can't
26:47prove it, but
26:48something is
26:49up.
26:49This woman is
26:50not acting
26:50right.
26:53I kept in
26:54contact with
26:54Nikki, trying
26:56to figure out
26:57what everyone
26:57is doing, what
26:59she's doing.
27:00Nikki must
27:01have known
27:01that I
27:01wasn't getting
27:03the answers I
27:04wanted.
27:05I said, okay,
27:07I'm coming
27:08up.
27:09I'm leaving
27:09in the
27:10morning.
27:11The drive
27:12was long.
27:16I was
27:16calling the
27:17fire departments
27:18and going to
27:19get a search
27:19party together.
27:20I made a
27:20missing persons
27:22flyer.
27:24We thought
27:24maybe he
27:24just was
27:25confused and
27:26walked out
27:26the door,
27:27had another
27:27episode.
27:29So we were
27:29loading up like
27:30we're going to
27:30tromps through
27:31the woods.
27:32At the same
27:33time, I had
27:34flashbacks of
27:35these hypoglycemic
27:38episodes that
27:39Nikki herself
27:40diagnosed him
27:41of having.
27:43And I
27:44remember this
27:46picture of the
27:47insulin bottle
27:47and Jimmy was
27:49saying that
27:50Nikki was
27:51drugging him.
27:54Insulin is
27:55used to
27:56moderate blood
27:57sugar levels
27:58in people who
27:59are diabetic.
28:01If someone
28:01was given
28:02insulin who
28:04didn't need
28:04it, it could
28:05drop their
28:05blood sugar
28:06to a dangerous
28:07level.
28:08And so I
28:09asked Jamie,
28:10do you think
28:10she gave him
28:12insulin?
28:16With Jamie
28:17and Chris
28:17approaching from
28:18Florida and
28:19James now
28:20flying in from
28:21Buffalo, police
28:22receive a
28:23shocking tip.
28:24Out of the
28:25blue, they get
28:26a call from
28:26this woman and
28:27she says,
28:28hey, I know
28:29Jimmy Capello's
28:30wife, Nikki
28:31Capello, and
28:32she just called
28:33me and told
28:34me that she
28:35killed him
28:35with insulin
28:36and that his
28:37body is in
28:38her garage.
28:42Soon as he
28:42hears that, the
28:43investigator calls
28:44patrol and
28:45says, I need
28:45the closest
28:46unit to the
28:47house to go
28:47pull Nikki
28:48Capello out and
28:49sit on her
28:49until I get
28:50there.
28:51Nikki
28:51Capello comes
28:52out to the
28:52porch.
28:54In an effort
28:54to speed
28:55this up, would
28:57you mind if I
28:58checked your
28:58house to make
28:59sure that your
29:00husband's not in
29:01the crawl space
29:02where he's
29:02working or
29:03something, or
29:03if he's upstairs
29:04and went into
29:05like an attic or
29:06something, do you
29:08understand what
29:08I'm saying?
29:14Let me back up
29:19and be clear for
29:19you.
29:20If there is an
29:20issue, it is
29:21okay.
29:23You are under
29:24no obligation
29:25to sign it.
29:26You're not.
29:28It was my
29:28understanding that
29:30you were going
29:30to do any
29:31consent to look
29:31through your
29:32property to see
29:33if that's a
29:35problem with you.
29:36That's okay.
29:40When I arrived
29:41at the house,
29:43Nikki was
29:44sitting outside
29:45on the porch
29:46with the
29:47police.
29:48She saw me
29:49from the porch,
29:50bridge, but
29:50there was no
29:52acknowledgment.
29:54You know, I
29:55had a lot of
29:55anger going
29:56through me, and
29:57I was all
29:57revved up and
29:58ready to knock
30:00the door
30:01down.
30:01I believe you
30:02sit down and
30:02talk.
30:03Nope.
30:04I'll tell you
30:04what we're going
30:05to do.
30:05We're going to
30:05take a ride
30:06right now, and
30:07I am going to
30:08get a search
30:08warrant and
30:09take that.
30:09That way you
30:10don't feel
30:10pressured.
30:11Right now, I'm
30:12not feeling
30:12covered because
30:13I feel like you
30:13feel pressured.
30:16Investigators
30:17escort Nikki to
30:18CID.
30:19Someone's going
30:20to let me find
30:21out about my
30:22daughter, right?
30:22Yes, we will
30:23make phone calls
30:24for your daughter
30:24as soon as I
30:25get down there.
30:25We get you
30:25someplace cool
30:26where we can
30:27call.
30:27Just don't
30:27come up here.
30:29We'll see
30:29about all that.
30:31We'll handle
30:31all that once we
30:32get down there,
30:32okay?
30:33It's weird.
30:34It's okay.
30:34Here we go.
30:37As soon as
30:44he's got the
30:44warrant, they
30:45go in, and
30:46as soon as he
30:47opens the
30:47front door, he
30:49says, you
30:49can smell
30:49death.
30:51He goes
30:51straight to
30:52the garage.
30:55There's a
30:55Corvette that
30:56Jimmy was
30:56working on
30:57rebuilding.
30:58There he
30:58is.
30:59And in the
31:00passenger side
31:00of the
31:01Corvette is
31:01Jimmy's body.
31:05He's in his
31:05underwear.
31:06He's laying
31:07on a tarp
31:08that's half
31:08wrapped around
31:09his legs,
31:09and his legs
31:10are shoved
31:10halfway into
31:11the car.
31:13And the
31:14body is not
31:15rotting yet,
31:16but it is
31:16bloated.
31:18It was clear
31:19from the way
31:19the body was
31:20found that
31:21that is not
31:21where Jimmy
31:22had died.
31:23Somebody had
31:24put him in
31:24the tarp and
31:25pulled him
31:26into the
31:27garage and
31:28tried to lift
31:29him into the
31:29car and put
31:30him in the
31:30passenger seat.
31:32They'd gotten
31:32the legs in,
31:33but the torso
31:34was heavier than
31:35they'd
31:35anticipated.
31:35And so it
31:36was essentially
31:37a half-done
31:37job.
31:39The scene
31:40is photographed.
31:41Jimmy's body
31:42is sent for
31:42autopsy, and
31:44officers carry
31:44out a search
31:45of the
31:45property.
31:46In the
31:46bedside table
31:47on her
31:47side of the
31:48bed, they
31:49found a
31:49single unused
31:50insulin needle,
31:52which was
31:53collected and
31:54taken into
31:54evidence.
31:58It wasn't
31:58until I
31:59arrived at
32:00the house
32:01that the
32:03detective tell
32:04us there is a
32:05body inside.
32:07And I lost
32:08it.
32:09My father
32:10was beside
32:11himself.
32:13I can't even
32:13describe it.
32:14It was just a
32:16big hole,
32:18you know, being
32:19driven into
32:20you.
32:21We all knew
32:22in the back of
32:22our heads
32:23that Nikki
32:25did it.
32:25the
32:27other
32:27were
32:31going to
32:32go ahead and
32:35get up off the
32:35floor for me for
32:36just a second.
32:39As of
32:40when
32:41you and I
32:42first met
32:43on the
32:44porch,
32:45you were very
32:45apprehensive to
32:47let the
32:47bleed into your
32:48garage.
32:49Why?
32:49It's full of
32:50car parts.
32:52I would get
32:54chewed out.
32:55When was the
32:55last time you
32:55were in the
32:56garage, Nikki?
32:59I want you to
33:00do me a favor
33:01more than that.
33:02I want you to
33:02give yourself a
33:03favor and your
33:04child a favor.
33:06This is going a
33:08path you don't
33:09want it to go
33:10because you are
33:11not being
33:11completely honest
33:12with me.
33:13And I know
33:13that for a
33:14fact.
33:14I'm trying to
33:17give you a
33:17chance to pump
33:18the brakes for
33:19a minute.
33:20Think about
33:20your child
33:21and yourself.
33:24And I'm
33:25going to ask
33:25you again.
33:28Why did you
33:29not want me in
33:29that garage?
33:38We both know
33:39the answer.
33:40Because I found
33:41Jim.
33:44Because what?
33:45I found Jim.
33:47Okay.
33:48You found Jim
33:49what?
33:52I found Jim
33:53dead.
33:56And chased
33:56that Corvette.
33:57I chased
33:58the Corvette.
34:02Nikki.
34:04Sir?
34:06As a parent,
34:08I'm going to
34:08keep bringing
34:09this up to you.
34:10I know.
34:10I've got
34:11Riley.
34:11now she's
34:14lost her
34:14dad.
34:16No matter
34:17what happens
34:18going forward,
34:20there is the
34:21path where
34:21we tell the
34:22truth and
34:24we probably
34:26get better
34:26treatment throughout
34:27the system
34:28than we do
34:29if we maintain
34:29a lie that's
34:30going to unravel
34:31very, very
34:32easily.
34:35Why did you
34:36not tell us
34:36that body was
34:37in the garage?
34:38I was scared.
34:39Of?
34:40I don't know
34:42the way that
34:43the way that
34:44it would look.
34:45I mean,
34:45I filed a
34:45same person's
34:46report and
34:47then that
34:48given he
34:49then the
34:50car in
34:51the garage.
34:53That is
34:54why I was
34:54scared.
34:57Before we
34:57go on,
34:59I want legal
35:00advice.
35:01Do you want
35:01legal advice?
35:02I can't give you
35:03legal advice.
35:03No, I'm
35:03saying I would
35:04like to talk
35:05to a lawyer.
35:05Okay.
35:06That is
35:07absolutely
35:08that would
35:11be your
35:12priority.
35:13Ultimately,
35:14they have
35:14to cut off
35:15questioning,
35:16but at that
35:16point,
35:17they have
35:17enough.
35:18They have
35:18means,
35:18they have
35:19opportunity,
35:19they have
35:20an insulin
35:20needle in
35:20the house.
35:22This
35:22officer is
35:23going to
35:23put you
35:24in handcuffs,
35:25we're going
35:25to walk
35:25you out,
35:26and you
35:26will be
35:26built in
35:27jail for
35:28murder.
35:28Can I
35:29ask a
35:29question?
35:30What
35:30do I
35:30do?
35:32I am
35:33on certain
35:34beds that I
35:35can't just
35:35immediately stop.
35:36I also
35:37want to
35:37withdraw.
35:38They have
35:38doctors at
35:39the jail that
35:40you can speak
35:41to.
35:41They have
35:41medical staff,
35:42and they
35:42can get
35:43you.
35:44If it's
35:44something you're
35:45prescribed,
35:46and it's
35:46something you
35:46need,
35:47then they'll
35:47take care of
35:48you.
35:49Can you
35:50tell,
35:50you said
35:51you're
35:51going to
35:51go on
35:52all night?
35:52I can.
35:53Can you
35:53tell her
35:54to get
35:54Riley from
35:55****?
35:56I don't
35:57know.
35:57I think
35:58maybe Jamie.
36:00I don't
36:01want Jamie to
36:02get Riley.
36:02I want my
36:03mother to
36:03get Riley.
36:04Well,
36:04we'll work
36:05all that out.
36:05She may
36:06already have
36:06her.
36:06I don't
36:07know.
36:09We
36:10obtained
36:11emergency
36:11custody
36:12from the
36:13courts for
36:14Riley.
36:15We made
36:16sure that
36:17she was
36:17in our
36:18hands,
36:19and we
36:19were not
36:19going to
36:20let her
36:20go.
36:21Jamie shares
36:22with
36:22investigators
36:23her suspicions
36:24of what
36:25happened to
36:25Jimmy.
36:26The word
36:27insulin keeps
36:28coming up.
36:29My first
36:30thought is,
36:31I need to
36:31learn about
36:32insulin.
36:34The
36:34investigators
36:35were
36:35suspicious
36:36that
36:37Mr.
36:37Capello
36:37had died
36:38from an
36:38insulin
36:39overdose.
36:40Insulin
36:41is a
36:41very
36:42unstable
36:43substance,
36:44and so
36:45over time,
36:46the actual
36:47insulin
36:47will break
36:48down.
36:50So for
36:50someone who
36:51has committed
36:52murder,
36:53it would be
36:53in their
36:54best interest
36:55to allow
36:56a body
36:56to decompose
36:58over a
36:58couple of
36:59days,
36:59so that
37:01that particular
37:02substance
37:03would no
37:04longer be
37:05detectable
37:07at a
37:07reliable
37:07level.
37:10When I
37:10learned this,
37:11it's like a
37:11light bulb
37:12has gone
37:12on.
37:13And all
37:13of these
37:14weird things
37:15about the
37:15way Nikki
37:15Capello
37:16was pushing
37:17people away
37:17and trying
37:18to buy
37:18time,
37:19it all
37:19makes
37:19perfect
37:19sense.
37:22But this
37:23case made
37:23me nervous
37:24because we
37:24didn't have
37:24a smoking
37:25gun.
37:26We're never
37:26going to be
37:27able to prove
37:28positively that
37:28it was
37:29insulin.
37:30There was
37:31nobody that
37:31saw the
37:31murder,
37:32we have
37:32no
37:32eyewitnesses
37:33to anything.
37:34This is
37:34going to
37:35be a
37:35circumstantial
37:36case.
37:37To
37:37Jimmy's
37:37family's
37:38horror,
37:39Nikki
37:39Capello
37:39is granted
37:40bail only
37:41days after
37:42Jimmy's
37:42body is
37:42found.
37:43We
37:44lived on
37:44edge with
37:46the fear
37:46that she
37:48would remain
37:48free.
37:50And all
37:50this time,
37:51you know,
37:52just afraid.
37:53Is she
37:53going to
37:54get off?
37:55But several
37:55months after
37:56the murder,
37:57investigators
37:58receive a
37:58game-changing
37:59call from a
38:00friend of Nikki
38:01Capello.
38:02That person
38:03says that
38:04about a week
38:04before Jimmy
38:06died, she
38:07was out at a
38:07barbecue at
38:08their house.
38:09She says she
38:10and Nikki
38:10were joking
38:10as people do,
38:11oh, I hate
38:12my husband,
38:12he'd be worth
38:13more to me
38:13dead, that
38:14kind of thing.
38:15And then Nikki
38:15tells her,
38:17you know, I
38:17could kill him,
38:18if I could use
38:19insulin.
38:21And then Nikki
38:22Capello looks at
38:23her and says,
38:24I actually tried
38:25last week.
38:26I don't know how
38:27that effer
38:27survived so much
38:28insulin.
38:29This was going
38:30to be a way to
38:30break this case
38:31open.
38:32The trial of
38:33Nikki Capello
38:34finally begins
38:35on May 16th,
38:362022.
38:38The story that
38:39we told the jury
38:39is that Nikki
38:40Capello had a
38:41plan.
38:42She set out to
38:42kill her husband
38:43and to get away
38:44with it.
38:45She's going to
38:45do it with
38:46insulin.
38:47And while he's
38:48sleeping, she
38:49gives him the
38:49jab.
38:50She tries it
38:51once and it
38:51doesn't work.
38:53About a week
38:54later, she
38:55doses him, he
38:57goes to sleep
38:57and does not
38:58wake up.
39:00She hides the
39:01body and her
39:01plan is, if I
39:02can keep him
39:03here for two
39:03or three days,
39:04then I'll go
39:05dump him
39:05somewhere.
39:08But then it
39:08came to step
39:09three of her
39:09plan.
39:10She has trouble
39:11getting him down
39:11the stairs, she
39:12can't get him in
39:13the car, and she
39:14makes the weird
39:15decision to call
39:16somebody else.
39:18She'd have gotten
39:18away with it.
39:19If she had not
39:20told people, she'd
39:21have gotten away
39:21with it.
39:25I saw Nikki
39:26face to face
39:28the whole trial.
39:30She never shed
39:31a tear.
39:34No emotion.
39:36It's almost like
39:37she wasn't human
39:39anymore.
39:40On the final day
39:41of the trial, the
39:42jury return after
39:43just 30 minutes
39:44of deliberation.
39:46And they come
39:47out and they say,
39:48we the people, in
39:49the case of State
39:50versus Nikki
39:51Capello, find the
39:52defendant guilty of
39:53the charge of
39:53murder.
39:54Nikki Capello is
39:55given life with the
39:56possibility of
39:57parole.
39:58It was bittersweet.
40:00Real justice comes
40:01when she rots in
40:02hell.
40:03No sentence is
40:04long enough for
40:05what she did.
40:06No sentence.
40:08She is not a
40:09human.
40:09She is not a
40:10nurse.
40:12The way I look
40:12at it is Nikki
40:14had to hate her
40:15daughter that much
40:17to go and take
40:18a mother away
40:20from her, a father
40:21away from her,
40:23everything.
40:24I believe Jimmy
40:25is at rest.
40:26Thumbs up.
40:28Fonzie.
40:29But Riley is
40:30safe.
40:31She's so well
40:32loved.
40:33We told her that
40:34your dad's in
40:34heaven with Jesus
40:35and he's helping
40:36the angels work
40:38on her car.
40:39Yeah, I miss that
40:40guy every day,
40:41yeah.
40:42I would like to
40:42remember Jimmy,
40:44how everyone
40:45remembered Jimmy.
40:46he made a knot
40:48in the community
40:49with his laughter
40:50and his sense
40:52of humor.
40:53A good father,
40:54a great son,
40:57and a stand-up
40:58guy.
40:58Hey, daddy.
41:00Hi, daddy.
41:01Oh, you're eight?
41:02Yeah.
41:08He was young,
41:09beautiful, smart.
41:11He's funny,
41:11he makes everybody
41:12laugh.
41:12But behind
41:14closed doors
41:14is your fact.
41:15Zoom it on me.
41:16I'm already
41:17picking up.
41:17Everything was
41:18red flags for me.
41:19She was leaving him.
41:21He snuffed her out.
41:22He's a good one.
41:23He's a good one.
41:24He's a good one.
41:25He's a good one.
41:25He's a good one.
41:25He's a good one.
41:26He's a good one.
41:26He's a good one.
41:27He's a good one.
41:27He's a good one.
41:27He's a good one.
41:27He's a good one.
41:28He's a good one.
41:28He's a good one.
41:29He's a good one.
41:29He's a good one.
41:29He's a good one.
41:30He's a good one.
41:30He's a good one.
41:31He's a good one.
41:31He's a good one.
41:32He's a good one.
41:32He's a good one.
41:33He's a good one.
41:34He's a good one.
41:34He's a good one.
41:35He's a good one.
