00:00Does that appear to be Mr. Hernandez holding an iPad?
00:03It appears to be Mr. Hernandez and he's holding...
00:05...something in his hand that's got a white glow to it.
00:08Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:10And today, we're looking at criminals who turned on the people closest to them.
00:15You gotta hide us.
00:18I mean, they know how Bobby died and everything.
00:20I mean, we're all in this together, right?
00:24Christine Marie...
00:25She floated a lot, but within her own group, she was really kind of...
00:30...the top dog.
00:32The same could not be said for Christine Paolilla.
00:35A shy outsider who had always struggled to fit in.
00:39Before the Clear Lake murder...
00:40Christine Paolilla was already struggling and her life worsened after she began dating
00:45Christopher Snyder.
00:46He battled severe substance use disorder and Paolilla slipped...
00:50...into the same pattern.
00:51This dangerous lifestyle ultimately set the stage for the murder of...
00:55...her own friends.
00:56In July 2003, Paolilla went to her friend...
01:00...and Tiffany Rolls home...
01:01...planning to steal drugs.
01:02This was not...
01:03This was not...
01:04This was not...
01:05This was not...
01:05...a group of kids that would be considered thugs or gangsters by any means.
01:10It was an earthquake to our family.
01:12It was devastating.
01:14Things went...
01:15...sideways when an argument broke out between Snyder and Tiffany's boyfriend...
01:19...Marcus Bricella.
01:20All four people inside the home were killed...
01:23...including Roel and Rachel.
01:25...Coloradis.
01:26Tragically, these were the same friends who had once taken Paolilla...
01:30...under their wing.
01:31The case went cold for years...
01:33...until an anonymous tip led to...
01:35Paolilla's arrest...
01:36...and conviction...
01:37...in 2008.
01:38There's...
01:39There's been times...
01:40...where...
01:41...you get...
01:43...almost satanic...
01:44...talking about...
01:45...people...
01:48...like...
01:49...I wonder what it is...
01:50...what it would be like to...
01:51...to kill someone.
01:52All right?
01:53Megan Furimuska.
01:54Megan Furimuska.
01:55I wouldn't miss her...
01:56...early.
02:00She's forever strong...
02:02...in the midst of all of the people.
02:05He was glad she'd catch.
02:07Some cases just leave you asking...
02:09...why?
02:10Why...
02:10...would someone kill a friend they'd known for years?
02:13In Megan Furimuska's case...
02:15...it wasn't random violence...
02:16...but a deeply disturbing personal motive.
02:19Furimuska reported...
02:20...that she allegedly pretended to be pregnant...
02:21...at the same time as her long-time friend...
02:23...Heidi Broussard.
02:24Then...
02:25...in December 2019...
02:27...she allegedly strangled Broussard with a dog leash...
02:30...and left her body in the trunk of her car.
02:32A search warrant was not approved until around 8.30...
02:35...and later that evening.
02:36Because of the time difference...
02:37...the admissibility of the evidence recovered...
02:39...is being changed...
02:40...that she was challenged.
02:41Investigators said...
02:42...she did so to steal Broussard's baby...
02:44...and pass the child...
02:45...off...
02:46...as her own.
02:47The baby was later found in Furimuska's ex-boyfriend's home...
02:50...who believed it was his child.
02:51In 2023, Furimuska pleaded guilty...
02:55...was sentenced to 55 years in prison.
02:57With friends like this...
02:58...who needs enemies?
03:00Is Ms. Broussard a friend of yours?
03:03Yes.
03:04Okay, well...
03:05...we're interviewing friends and family...
03:07...in an effort to help locate her.
03:10Is now a good time to answer some questions?
03:12Morgan Geyser...
03:13...and Anissa Weyer.
03:15Absolutely.
03:15After nearly 24 hours on the run...
03:17...slender man stabbing assailant...
03:18...Morgan Geyser's escape coming...
03:20...to an end Sunday night.
03:21An employee called police...
03:22...concerned about two people...
03:23...sleeping in the cold at this...
03:25...truck stop off 148th street.
03:27Slender man is a fictional character...
03:29...often lurking...
03:30...in creepy stories...
03:31...and pictures of children playing...
03:33...but for Morgan Geyser...
03:34...and Anissa...
03:35...weir...
03:36...that fantasy became terrifyingly real...
03:38...in 2014.
03:40These miners...
03:41...lured their friend...
03:42...Payton Lutner...
03:43...into the woods of Waukesha...
03:45...believing...
03:46...it'd please...
03:47...slender man.
03:48While...
03:49...Wyer encouraged...
03:50...the attack...
03:50...Gyyser stabbed her friend...
03:51...Lutner...
03:52...19 times.
03:53What were you nervous about...
03:55...seeing a dead person?
03:57Because the last time I saw a dead person...
03:59...it was at a...
04:00...the funeral...
04:01...and it was my uncle.
04:02Shockingly...
04:03...she managed to survive...
04:04...by crawling to the road...
04:05...where a son...
04:05...a cyclist found...
04:06...and helped her.
04:07Though the violence...
04:08...was fueled by fantasy...
04:09...the legal consequence...
04:10...were real.
04:11Geyser was later...
04:12...diagnosed with a serious...
04:13...mental health problem...
04:14...and...
04:15...committed to a facility.
04:16As for...
04:17...Wyer...
04:18...she was sentenced...
04:19...to a lengthy term...
04:20...in a psychiatric...
04:20...institution...
04:21...before being released...
04:22...under strict supervision.
04:24By the time we...
04:25...found them...
04:26...they had walked...
04:27...about five hours...
04:28...and made it to the...
04:29...north end of our city.
04:30Morgan Geyser...
04:31...and Anissa Weyer...
04:32...are brought back...
04:33...to the Waukesha Police Station...
04:34...for questions...
04:35...Sheila Eddy...
04:36...and Rachel Shove.
04:37You could tell...
04:38...she was mad at someone.
04:39In the...
04:40...in the weeks before...
04:41...she vanished...
04:42...Skyler had posted...
04:43...angry messages.
04:44There's just something...
04:45...about you...
04:45...I can't...
04:46...stand.
04:47We often hear of killers...
04:48...targeting strangers...
04:49...which...
04:50...is terrifying enough...
04:51...but murdering a friend...
04:52...simply because you...
04:53...no longer like her...
04:54...is...
04:55...a whole other level...
04:56...of horror.
04:57That's what happened...
04:58...to Skyler Niece.
04:59In July 2000...
05:00...she was reported...
05:01...missing...
05:02...but it turns out...
05:03...she had already been...
05:04...murdered by her friends...
05:05...Sheila Eddy...
05:06...and Rachel Shove.
05:07On the night...
05:08...she disappeared...
05:09...niece snuck out...
05:10...to meet them...
05:10...unaware of their...
05:11...deadly plan.
05:12This is the last sighting...
05:13...of 16-year-old...
05:14...Skyler...
05:15...and her niece...
05:16...surveillance video...
05:17...outside of her home...
05:18...in West Virginia...
05:19...an eerie vision...
05:20...as...
05:20...as she sneaks out...
05:21...of her bedroom...
05:22...enters an unknown car...
05:23...and vanishes.
05:24They lured her...
05:25...to a familiar spot...
05:26...tricked her...
05:27...into retrieving something...
05:28...from the car...
05:29...then stabbed her...
05:30...repeatly...
05:30...until she died...
05:31...the truth remained hidden...
05:33...for six months...
05:34...until Shove broke down...
05:35...and confessed...
05:36...she was sentenced...
05:37...to 30 years in prison...
05:38...while Eddie...
05:39...received a...
05:40...life sentence...
05:41...Rachel Shove...
05:42...told investigators...
05:43...they were going...
05:44...to bury...
05:45...Skyler...
05:45...but when they couldn't...
05:46...they left her body here...
05:47...on the side of the road...
05:48...and covered it in branches...
05:50...Daniel Wozniak...
05:51...prosecutor...
05:52...Matt Murphy...
05:53...proved that...
05:54...Daniel Wozniak...
05:55...to his ATM...
05:56...to withdraw money...
05:57...and then...
05:58...took the stage...
05:59...for a performance...
06:00...despite being...
06:01...unemployed...
06:02...and drowning in debt...
06:03...Daniel Wozniak...
06:04...was deterred...
06:05...to have a lavish wedding...
06:06...and a honeymoon...
06:07...his solution...
06:08...to murder not one...
06:10...but two people...
06:11...this evil mastermind...
06:12...targeted his friend...
06:13...and neighbor...
06:14...Samuel...
06:15...a military veteran...
06:16...whose combat pay...
06:17...he knew about...
06:18...and Dan was kind of...
06:19...like an older brother...
06:20...mento...
06:20...to him...
06:21...he's a cool kind of cat...
06:22...that I would like to groove with...
06:23...that cool cat...
06:24...that's Dan Wozniak...
06:25...Sam's friend...
06:26...the broke neighbor...
06:27...after killing her...
06:28...to steal the money...
06:29...he...
06:30...he sent lord...
06:30...Julie Kibuishi...
06:31...to her's apartment...
06:32...to make it look like...
06:33...her had murdered her...
06:34...in...
06:35his plan initially worked, even sparking a manhunt for her, who was
06:40already dead.
06:41But things unravel when he had a boy withdraw from her's accounts.
06:45A move that traced back to him.
06:47After repeatedly lying about his involvement, Woz
06:50Niek finally confessed and faced justice for his horrific crimes.
06:55Okay.
06:56When did you feel you had to kill Julie?
07:00What was the rationale behind that?
07:02I was going crazy.
07:04Liam McAtee
07:05That's what makes this really, really a heinous event.
07:10These were two people, meaning Sarah and Liam, that knew each other since I
07:15leave grammar school.
07:16Like Wozniak, Liam McAtee
07:18was driven by greed.
07:20To take the life of his own friend.
07:22According to prosecutors, he spent about six months
07:25plotting the murder and robbery.
07:27Not only was he accused of strangling his childhood friend.
07:30Sarah Stern in her home, but also of dumping her body from a bridge.
07:34This was to me.
07:35To make it look like Stern had taken her life just to conceal his crime.
07:40Okay.
07:41Yes.
07:42Can you point him out for me?
07:43Yep.
07:44Right there at the defendant's table.
07:45Instead of getting away with it, he was caught after an accomplice pleaded guilty and testified
07:49against him.
07:50McAtee was later convicted on multiple accounts, including first-degree murder and murder.
07:55And sentenced to life without parole.
07:59Stern's body was
08:00never found.
08:01Making his betrayal all the more chilling given their long history together.
08:05Liam McAtee stops talking with police and so investigators turned to his friend.
08:10And his roommate, Preston Taylor, to try and get some answers.
08:15Ava started to walk back up the trail towards the cars.
08:16Ava started to walk back up the trail towards the cars.
08:20And I followed.
08:21And Laura and Missy didn't.
08:23This case will give you
08:25serious trust issues.
08:26We are talking about the murder of Michelle Avila by her former
08:30best friends and rivals, Laura Doyle and Karen Severson.
08:35She had no reason to suspect either girl, especially since Severson's mother.
08:36She had no reason to suspect either girl, especially since Severson's mother.
08:40Severson appeared truly sympathetic, and even moved in with her to console her.
08:45But…
08:45Behind that caring facade, jealousy festered.
08:48Missy was popular with the boys.
08:50And they were not.
08:51And that was the whole motive for murdering her.
08:53They didn't want her around anymore.
08:55Doyle and Severson had lured Avila to the creek where they got into a heated oven.
09:00Her argument and drowned her, using a log to hold her down.
09:03Thanks to a teenage witness,
09:05the truth came out.
09:06Leading to the girls' arrest in 1988.
09:08They served almost…
09:1044 combined years in prison before they were released.
09:13My hands didn't hold her.
09:15They were underwater.
09:16But then I turned my back.
09:17My heart killed her.
09:20Martin Puccio.
09:21Lisa was convinced that Bobby Kent was no real fester.
09:25a friend of Marty's.
09:26And that he would be much better off without him.
09:29She also saw…
09:30As a rival to her relationship with Marty.
09:33Bobby Kent's murder echoes that…
09:35Brutus Caesar-style betrayal.
09:36And that's what makes it so unsettling.
09:39He was…
09:40He was murdered by his own best friend, Martin Puccio, along with several others.
09:45His motive?
09:46A mixture of resentment, manipulation, and misplaced loyalty.
09:50Kent was widely described as abusive, domineering, and controlling.
09:55This attitude extended not just to his girlfriend, Alice Willis, but also to…
10:00Lisa Connelly was appalled at the way Bobby treated her boyfriend, Marty, and…
10:05would often complain about it.
10:06But for reasons only dimly…
10:10He understood, even now, there was a violent undercurrent in relations between the two.
10:15Over time, Puccio's girlfriend, Lisa Connelly, convinced Puccio and other…
10:20They had to eliminate Kent.
10:21What began as venting soon turned into a…
10:25Uncalculated murder plot, despite a first failed attempt.
10:29On July 14th…
10:30In 1993, they lured Kent to a remote area, where they stabbed and beat him before…
10:35dumping his body.
10:36Their crime didn't go unpunished, as some of them later…
10:40Sheriff's open!
10:41What's going on?
10:42Does the name Bobby Kim ring a bell?
10:44Aaron Hernandez
10:45At the time, a lot of people thought he was talking about marijuana, that he…
10:50used a lot of marijuana, that he had gotten older, he'd gotten more mature…
10:54He doesn't…
10:55He doesn't seem like he was talking about marijuana…
10:56It sure looked like Aaron Hernandez had it all…
11:00Behind the fame and fortune…
11:01Was a troubled young man…
11:03His childhood was far from roadblocks…
11:05And as he grew older, his life became more chaotic…
11:08Even after joining the NFL…
11:10That didn't stop.
11:11There were reports of substance use, involvement in shootings, and other…
11:15legal issues…
11:16The turning point came with the murder of his friend, Odin Lloyd…
11:20Prejectiles…
11:21Who recovered from the spot…
11:22The Odin Lloyd had…
11:25Two gunshot wounds to his chest…
11:28It went through…
11:30It went through him…
11:32As he laid on the ground…
11:34Into the…
11:35In 2013…
11:36Lloyd's body was found at an industrial park a mile from Hernandez's home…
11:40Riddled with gunshot wounds…
11:42The investigation quickly pointed to the NFL star…
11:45And…
11:46With overwhelming evidence…
11:47He was eventually arrested and convicted of first…
11:50Six-degree murder in 2015…
11:52Why he threw everything away by murdering his own friend…
11:55And…
11:56Remains…
11:57Unclear…
11:58Police are also investigating Hernandez's…
12:00Alleged involvement…
12:01In a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston…
12:04That left…
12:05Two people dead…

12:20Robert Durst…
12:21A lot of people write them off as…
12:22Robert Durst…
12:23A lot of people write them off as…
12:25Eccentric…
12:26Kind of guy…
12:27And…
12:28You know…
12:29It's just Bob being Bob…
12:30It would be cute if…
12:32Bob being Bob…
12:33Didn't result in…
12:35Three people being dead…
12:36In…
12:371982…
12:38Robert Durst's wife…
12:39Kath…
12:40Kathleen McCormick…
12:41Disappeared…
12:42And his friend Susan Berman…
12:43Provided an alibi…
12:44That helped…
12:45Deflect suspicion…
12:46The case…
12:47Went cold for years…
12:48Only to be reopened in…
12:502000…
12:51Just weeks after the case gained renewed attention…
12:53Berman…
12:54Was found…
12:55Shot…
12:56Execution style…
12:57In her Los Angeles home…
12:58After that…
12:59Durst…
13:00Went on the run…
13:01Disguising himself as a woman who…
13:03Can't speak…
13:04To avoid being questioned…
13:05Prosecutors argued that Durst had killed Berman…
13:08To stop her from revealing…
13:09She had covered…
13:10From McCormick's disappearance…
13:12Killed him all…
13:13Of course…
13:14More…
13:15Than 20 years later…
13:16In 2021…
13:17Durst was eventually convicted for Berman…
13:20Derman's murder…
13:21The case…
13:22Is truly scary…
13:23Knowing the two had been so…
13:25Close…
13:26That Durst had even walked Berman down the aisle…
13:29At her wedding…
13:30We know about the cadaver letter…
13:32That the killer supposedly sent…
13:33Right…
13:34Because…
13:35The…
13:35Police received it…
13:36It was postmarked…
13:37Before the body was found…
13:38Let's look at that…
13:39Does…
13:40That match his handwriting…
13:41Are there any other treacherous criminals…
13:44Who should've…
