00:11Opening
00:45Dangerous attraction
00:50Our secret
01:01On October 6, 1988, a man named Ken Wood arrived at the police station in Walker, Texas.
01:07From Michigan, and it tells a bizarre story.
01:10Ken Wood began to recount how his ex-wife had been involved in several homicides at a nursing home.
01:19of the city.
01:21Ken's ex-wife, Cat Wood, is a nursing assistant at the Alpine Manor nursing home.
01:28Ken tells police that she confessed to helping kill 5 patients with the help of a nurse during
01:34The winter of 1987.
01:37The authorities remain silent while he reveals the details of his life with Catty.
01:43After a brief relationship with Ken Wood, who was 20 years old, Catty, then 17, became pregnant and the two
01:50They don't take long to get married.
01:52The couple's daughter was born in February 1980.
01:58Catty was very young, but Ken was intrigued by the fact that she wasn't attached to the child.
02:03She was annoyed with her daughter and didn't like being with her.
02:07Catty withdraws and refuses to do anything around the house.
02:13She practically exiled herself to her own home.
02:19Ken hoped that a new job at the Alpine Manor retirement home could be a positive experience for her.
02:29In the nursing home, there was a group of nursing assistants who liked to go out, and many of them were lesbians.
02:37They spent a lot of time at a gay club in the city, and Catty quickly became involved in that intense social life.
02:46Catty's life has changed completely.
02:49She was having fun, going to lots of parties, frequenting bars.
02:55Soon she begins an affair with one of her coworkers.
02:59In a lesbian relationship, she found the ability to communicate in a way that never happened with her husband.
03:08She identified with her partner and found it more rewarding than a heterosexual relationship.
03:16Catty humiliates and disturbs Ken with her behavior.
03:21That's when he notices his dark side.
03:25Over time, he began to fall victim to Catty's psychological games.
03:29For example, she would have girls call their house pretending to be Ken's ex-girlfriends, while she listened on the extension.
03:38That was the kind of game Catty Woods played with everyone, no matter who the target was.
03:43Everything to create chaos among people so that he can reign supreme in the midst of it all.
03:50In August 1986, after seven years of marriage, Catty filed for divorce.
03:57Ken moves out and takes the couple's daughter with him.
04:00But Catty remains unfazed.
04:02She never wanted to be a mother, she wanted to be the center of attention.
04:06And it's difficult to be the center of attention when you're at home alone with a child and your husband.
04:12A month later, Catty meets Gwen Gran, another nursing assistant.
04:17When Gwen came to work at the nursing home, I didn't pay much attention to her.
04:21But one day I was in the break room when she came in, and that's when I noticed her scars.
04:26So I started observing her more closely, she made me feel beautiful.
04:30She made me feel special, she did things that I wanted to do.
04:34The two have been in a relationship for nine months.
04:37Until Gwen decides to return to her hometown.
04:42Tyler, Texas.
04:44Catty then decides to tell Ken that, while they were lovers, they murdered five patients.
04:52Walker's detectives don't know what to think.
04:56The police believe Ken's bold statements are a way of getting revenge for a failed relationship.
05:14The following morning, the police investigate Ken and Catwood's background, but find no criminal record.
05:21Then the detectives contact the police in Tyler, Texas, the city where Gwen Gran had gone.
05:28turned.
05:28They discover there is an arrest warrant out for her for issuing bad checks three years prior.
05:35But Gwen has no history of violence.
05:38Ken Wood's strange story leaves the detectives with no choice but to interrogate Catty Wood.
05:44I became suspicious because he believed Catty; I felt there was more to the story than met the eye.
05:49We had to find out if she did it or not.
05:52The police obtain a search warrant to search the Alpine Manor retirement home.
05:58The agents examine the files of employees and patients.
06:02We were more interested in some of the patients who had passed away while Gwen Graham and Catwood were working together.
06:13Ken Wood revealed the names of two or three victims and said that the first had been Margaret Chambers.
06:23On January 18, 1987, Margaret Chambers died after living in the nursing home for five years.
06:32His death was believed to be due to natural causes.
06:35She was 60 years old.
06:38A month later, 95-year-old Myrtle Luce is found dead, the victim of a probable heart attack.
06:48Gwen told me she was going to take care of her.
06:51That's what we used to say, take care of her.
06:53If anyone happened to hear, or if anyone suspected anything, I should say it was a joke.
06:58I shouldn't say anything about it.
07:06Less than a week later, another death occurs.
07:10On February 16, a nursing assistant found May Mason dead, aged 79.
07:17May Mason's cause of death was cardiac arrest.
07:22She had Alzheimer's disease.
07:25A nurse checked on her two hours earlier and saw that she was fine.
07:31Two hours later, she was dead.
07:33According to the nursing home's records, the following week, two more patients died in their rooms.
07:45There was no significant increase in the number of deaths while Gwen Graham and Catwood worked there.
07:53So, nothing indicated that those people had been killed.
07:57The detectives compare the dates of the deaths with Cat and Gwen's work shifts.
08:02We discovered that, at the time of their deaths, both were working.
08:10These data points matched up, and everything started to make sense.
08:14But a strange incident sparks the interest of investigators.
08:18A certain patient said he had been attacked, but nobody took him seriously because...
08:24At Alpine Manor there were elderly people with dementia, people with hallucinations who used to say...
08:31Is someone behind me?
08:32Someone is trying to kill me.
08:35Investigators question Cat and Gwen's coworkers to find out if they saw anything suspicious.
08:43When Cat and Gwen Graham started working at Alpine Manor, everyone thought they were normal.
08:53But after a while, in my opinion, they became a little suspicious of the two of them.
09:01They were always together and used to play cruel pranks.
09:08The retirement home, in a way, became a playground, a park for Cat and Gwen.
09:17And the games were undoubtedly encouraged by Cat.
09:23They would switch patients between rooms and put them in the wrong rooms to confuse the other staff.
09:31According to colleagues, Gwen and Cat's playful interactions went far beyond harmless games.
09:38Cat seemed to enjoy causing trouble.
09:44She would call the husbands and say, "Do you have any idea what your wife is doing?"
09:48And then she would talk to her wife and ask, "Do you have any idea what your husband is doing?"
09:53I planted my truths among people, maintained a tense atmosphere, and enjoyed creating confusion.
09:59She seemed to take pleasure in exerting control over people's lives.
10:03When asked if they thought Cat and Gwen had killed five patients, the nursing assistants hesitated.
10:14I felt it was important to get Cat. She was working that day, so we brought her to the police station for a chat.
10:22Cat tells police she was just joking. She claims she made up the story she told her husband.
10:29I said, I don't believe this is a joke.
10:31And after questioning her for more than forty minutes, she finally said, "Well, I didn't make it up, but I'm not..."
10:40involved.
10:40It was Gwen Graham.
10:47Cat reveals to the detectives the same story she had told her husband, Ken Wood.
10:53Gwen would roll up a face towel and place it over her victim's nose and mouth, and then...
10:59He was suffocating to death.
11:01According to the version Cat told us, Gwen killed the patients in order to relieve tension.
11:10She was very tense, but when she killed someone, she always felt good afterward.
11:16They killed for the thrill.
11:18These murders are, in fact, the expression of a disturbed personality.
11:21And these women killed these people to feel the thrill.
11:31Gwen Graham suffers from two coexisting personality disorders.
11:36She suffers from borderline personality disorder and possesses many psychopathic traits.
11:42This means that she is chronically unstable, with mood swings and problems in interpersonal relationships.
11:50She oscillates aimlessly between good and evil, love and hate, joy and sadness.
11:57She may commit acts against people, she may be aggressive and exhibit antisocial behavior towards any individual.
12:03Gwen spent much of her youth on a farm outside of Tyler, Texas.
12:08After fifth grade, my parents moved to Texas.
12:13I lived there for a good part of my adolescence and adult life.
12:18Gwen's father raised her, for lack of a better term, with a kind of rural psychology.
12:23I thought it was good for a child to see life and death, to see where food comes from, how
12:29The animals became food.
12:31And so, Gwen often witnessed the slaughter of pigs and the decapitation of chickens.
12:37His mother didn't show much affection.
12:40His father believed that if a baby stayed in its mother's lap, or a child stayed in its mother's lap,
12:48It would be fragile.
12:49So Gwen spent a good part of her childhood without being touched much by her mother.
12:56According to Gwen, her father became violent and began sexually abusing her.
13:02Those who have a personality disorder, or a morphic disorder, sometimes feel like they are falling apart, that their personality is disintegrating.
13:10They need something to hold on to, and they often do that by burning and cutting themselves.
13:15Gwen had 31 different scars on both arms, made with cigarette embers, as well as a series of small...
13:24courteous.
13:25I have cigarette burns and some cuts I got when I was 16 years old.
13:35I was outraged at having been molested, and I did this in an attempt to look ugly and prevent it from happening again.
13:46At 22, Gwen moves to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and gets a job as a nursing assistant in a home.
13:54He takes a break at Alpine Manor, where he meets Catty.
13:58Catty Wood also grew up with a disability.
14:03She was born near the Washington State Air Force base in 1962.
14:09His father served in Vietnam.
14:13Catty Wood's childhood is, in a way, a real mystery, because we only have her accounts of how...
14:23That was his childhood.
14:25According to her description, she was unloved, her mother was very harsh with her, and her father sexually abused her.
14:33She had few friends.
14:35I didn't have a social life, I was very lonely, I was a shy child.
14:45Catty Wood received a diagnosis of pathological personality and narcissistic behavior.
14:53Narcissism is a type of egocentrism in which the individual sees other people only as extensions of themselves.
14:59own needs.
15:01He only considers people good based on what he can get from them and thinks he's better than everyone else.
15:07It's a delusion of grandeur where the rules don't apply.
15:10As soon as they meet, Catty Wood and Gwen Gwen form a strange bond.
15:15There was a kind of synergy in that relationship.
15:18Catty was a more sophisticated and manipulative person, while Gwen was a more aggressive and deceitful one.
15:25So, they had similar personality types, but one was more sophisticated than the other.
15:31To her colleagues, she invented a macabre initiation story, saying that she had fallen in love with a boy.
15:39She had her first sexual experience with him and discovered that he was a woman.
15:43She spread this story saying it was her first homosexual relationship and that afterwards she got confused and ended up...
15:53feeling betrayed.
15:55In fact, Catty knew exactly who she was.
16:00He never thought Gwen was a boy.
16:02This was a story that Catty Wood invented to evoke compassion in people.
16:11According to Catty, Gwen's aggressiveness began to emerge at the end of January 1987.
16:18During this time, Gwen became more aggressive, more violent.
16:22Catty tells the police that after killing Margaret, Gwen forced her to help with further murders.
16:31Catty kept watch over the room where the murders were committed.
16:36Catty says she was being threatened by the mistress.
16:41Gwen would supposedly take the face towels, fold them, put them in her back pocket, and walk around the nursing home with them.
16:48They used them as a way to intimidate Catty.
16:50And to make it perfectly clear who the murderer was in that small family.
16:57It was just a game, nothing more than that.
17:00I told Ken because I was afraid something might happen to me.
17:07She told me she wasn't involved in anything and was very convincing, you know?
17:14But I wouldn't take any responsibility.
17:17I found her a bit manipulative, but Tom was trying to fit all the pieces together.
17:23And I continued to think that wasn't the whole truth.
17:28She must have had an ulterior motive.
17:30Describing Catty Wood socially is like trying to describe a chameleon.
17:34She could play any role to get what she wanted, depending on the goal she was trying to achieve.
17:41So she appeared very sweet and passive, almost like a victim.
17:45But he could also be very insensitive and brutal.
17:49When investigators question Catty's story, she says she can prove her version of events.
17:56She would have a collection of Gwen's letters and also objects taken from the rooms of the patients Gwen had killed.
18:07That night we went to her house and gained access to a box full of letters she had exchanged.
18:16with Gwen Cran.
18:18She found none of the items she claimed to have taken from the victims.
18:24After reading the letters, the detectives are disappointed to discover that they contained no evidence linking the two women to the crime.
18:31crimes.
18:31It was like we were scratching our heads and saying, what are we going to do now?
18:37Where are we in this investigation? It felt like we were always going in circles.
18:41Suspect tells bizarre story about sex and death.
18:44The detectives are unable to confirm the murder cases at Alpine Manor reported by Catty.
18:51She then agrees to take the polygraph test.
18:55She failed. The test administrator said it was a big hoax, a made-up story.
19:04But Tom Freeman still thought she was telling the truth.
19:09To be sure, the detectives decide to speak with Gwen Grant.
19:13I ended up flying to Tyler, Texas, where I met with a local investigator.
19:19Based on the accusation of issuing bad checks that weighed against Gwen,
19:24The detectives obtain a search warrant for his house.
19:27Upon arriving, they find Gwen and his girlfriend.
19:30Gwen Graham was short, and she seemed sweet and kind.
19:35She didn't seem to be the person everyone said she was.
19:41Gwen agrees to go to the police station while the officers execute a search warrant.
19:47The police search the house, but find nothing to link Gwen to the deaths at Alpine Manor.
19:56At the Tyler police department, detectives interrogate Gwen.
20:01But they weren't prepared for what they were about to hear.
20:05Gwen says she knows nothing about the murders.
20:08I wasn't present when those people died.
20:11I was in another part of the building, working.
20:14Catty is crazy, she'd say anything.
20:17When Gwen is asked about her relationship with Catty Wood,
20:21She says everything was fine at first.
20:24But then there was a dark change.
20:27For Halloween, Gwen dressed up as a patient at Alpine Manor.
20:30and he used the straps that they used to restrain some patients.
20:34Then, while they were having sex, the same straps were used to tie Gwen to the bed.
20:41And then they started this type of sexual practice.
20:44Catty's obsession with manipulating people begins to affect the relationship.
20:50I eventually grew tired of those games and the rumors she spread among the employees.
20:56Gwen claims that Catty was physically aggressive and domineering.
21:01So, Gwen began having a secret affair with another nurse at the nursing home.
21:07Gwen says that when she finally left Catty, she began to fear for her life.
21:16Catty threatened Gwen's new girlfriend, saying she could put Gwen in prison for a very, very long time.
21:27Gwen got scared and decided to rekindle her relationship with Catty Wood.
21:35During this time, Catty tied Gwen up, took her gun, and threatened her.
21:44I begged because I thought she was going to shoot me.
21:47She looked at me in a very strange way and suddenly left the house.
21:50Gwen tells the detectives that she managed to escape Catty by moving to Tyler, Texas.
21:57She continues to deny the murders.
22:02She claimed that Catty Wood was hurt because of the breakup.
22:06I asked if she was willing to take a lie detector test.
22:11She said yes.
22:15The results of the polygraph test are inconclusive.
22:22Police return to the city of Walker, Michigan.
22:26Without criminal evidence, the authorities are prepared to suspend the investigation.
22:33Detective Tom Freeman can't give up on the case.
22:37His intuition tells him that something terrible has happened at Alpine Manor.
22:41On October 17, 1988, he questions Catty about her performance on the polygraph test.
22:47I told Catty, I know you're involved.
22:50And he's making up these lies so he doesn't have to admit that he participated in all the murders.
23:01She left.
23:03And I really thought it was all over.
23:10It was unbelievable.
23:12Because three days later I received a phone call.
23:16Now she wanted to speak.
23:18This time, Catty admits that she and Gwen planned the murders together.
23:23when they invented a new game called the murder game.
23:28In the world created by Gwen and Catty, they were the perfect pair.
23:33Because what one lacked, the other made up for.
23:39And when these substances mixed, when they both reacted, there was an explosion and...
23:48And in that explosion, people died.
23:52The objective of the game was to kill patients in a certain order.
23:56so that the victims' initials would spell out the word "murder."
24:04But the problem in forming that word, when they started killing,
24:09The reason is that some patients were very vigorous.
24:14They were resilient, and the women couldn't kill them.
24:20Therefore, this game of forming the word "murder" was never completed.
24:25They reached a point where they would choose the easiest patient to kill.
24:32Gwen is easily influenced, for several reasons.
24:36First, she lacked a stable self-identity to determine what was right and what was wrong.
24:42So, she's very adaptable in that sense.
24:45Another factor is that she needs excitement and is very impulsive.
24:50And when people suggest things, she doesn't have that barrier that says
24:56Wait a minute, that's not the right thing to do.
24:58It's unlikely that Gwen invented some sophisticated plot.
25:03How to form a word using the victims' initials.
25:06That's not your style.
25:07After a while, Kat can't take it anymore.
25:12According to Kat, she was keeping watch during the murders.
25:17Because she was in love with Gwen and wanted her to love her back.
25:24She was willing to do this until she reached a point where, supposedly,
25:28It was his turn to kill someone while Gwen stood guard.
25:34And that was too much for her.
25:37Therefore, she decided to stop.
25:40Soon after, Gwen leaves her for another woman.
25:45Detective Freeman is relieved to find that his intuition was correct.
25:51I felt it was a good start, that now I could solve the case and make the arrest.
26:00On November 23, 1988, he and Kat went to the Michigan State Police.
26:06where she is subjected to a new polygraphic test.
26:09She chose to be completely honest and, at least, exonerate herself in the eyes of the detective.
26:15who treated her correctly.
26:18Kat confesses to her involvement in the murders.
26:25The lie detector test results indicated that she was being truthful.
26:31about those events, about his relationship with his girlfriend Gwen,
26:36about having killed several people at the nursing home where they had worked together.
26:42And the story she had told the police was, in fact, true.
26:56Kat says that with each murder they committed, she and Gwen grew closer.
27:03They kept changing a phrase they had invented.
27:06They used to say, "I love you forever."
27:08Then it turned into, I love you forever and a day.
27:11And then it stayed there, forever and two days.
27:14Apparently, each day represented a murder committed.
27:18After five deaths, it was, I love you forever and five days.
27:23It was a symbol of the murderous bond that united the two.
27:29I think we're dealing with highly disturbed people, and their motivations aren't the same as those of normal people.
27:36So, it's possible that when you look at them and ask yourself, "Did they kill someone or not?", it might be difficult to answer.
27:46Tom Freeman wanted to pursue the investigation and was certain that a crime had occurred.
27:52Most people thought something had happened, but we were running out of arguments and didn't know how to continue.
28:01We needed proof and...
28:03After obtaining information about the five patients who died, we discovered that three of them were cremated.
28:13There were two others that were not cremated, and we considered exhuming the bodies to see if we could find physical evidence.
28:29Based on Kett's testimony, we can obtain search warrants to exhume the bodies of two victims.
28:42The coroner examines the two bodies, looking for signs of murder.
28:49During these autopsies, they found no evidence to prove that they were murdered by Kett or Gwingraer.
29:02We looked at each other and said, well, so what now?
29:05Because we only had one person's word and perhaps a few scattered comments from other Alpine Manor employees.
29:15It was practically a dead end.
29:18They dug up the graves, opened the coffins, and saw the bodies.
29:22And the forensic pathologist changed the death certificate from natural causes to homicide.
29:28Without any physical evidence to prove it.
29:31He based his decision solely on Kett Wood's testimony.
29:34I think it was a disservice to forensic pathology because it wasn't impartial.
29:39There was no objective evidence whatsoever in this case.
29:42When the death certificates of Edith Kirk and Margaret Chambers are changed to homicide,
29:48Detective Freeman takes the case to the district attorney's office.
29:52We were able to obtain warrants for Kett Wood and Gwingraer for their involvement in the victims' deaths.
30:04On December 4, 1988, Grant Grant was arrested in Texas for the murder of Edith Kirk.
30:13Kett Wood is arrested, accused of conspiracy in the murder of Margaret Chambers and also in the death of Edith Kirk.
30:21When the news is released by the local media, residents of Walker, Michigan, are shocked by the crimes.
30:28I think it wasn't just our city, but the entire Grand Rapids region, the whole community was shocked.
30:42The trial is scheduled for September 11, 1989.
30:47In the weeks leading up to the trial, conflicting accounts increase doubt about who is telling the truth.
30:55Kett is, by definition, a pathological liar.
31:01If telling the truth isn't enough, she'll continue to lie.
31:07She does this because she has her own goals.
31:11Her narcissism comes to the fore when she needs attention.
31:15So she lies, manipulates people, and gets the attention she needs.
31:20This doesn't mean she's incapable of telling the truth.
31:24It simply means that she is a bad person.
31:27In a social context.
31:30I'd like to say I made all of this up.
31:33It would be easier.
31:35So I think everyone would be happy again.
31:38But that's not how it works.
31:40One of the traits of a psychopath, and this is a fact in the case of Kett Wood, is the ability to...
31:45Manipulating people.
31:47And the typical way to do this is to find people who have been hurt in some way.
31:53They are emotionally frustrated people.
31:56And psychopaths find an opening to satisfy the needs of these people.
32:00And by satisfying them, they are able to manipulate them.
32:04This is certainly the case with Kett Wood.
32:07Especially if we look at his partnership with Gwen Grant.
32:10I would say that Gwen's tendency to encounter other abnormal people certainly existed for several reasons.
32:18First, he would be the only type of person to get involved with her.
32:21No sane person could tolerate living with someone who is angry one minute and loving them the next.
32:26Being inconsistent, stealing from you, and after all that, expecting to be loved.
32:31Furthermore, there are many unconscious elements involved and...
32:37People like Gwen often seek out other psychopathic individuals to complement them.
32:46As the case progresses, the authorities are confronted with Gwen's various problems.
32:56Gwen Grant possessed two distinct sides.
32:59Physically, she is a very cute young woman.
33:02She's not very tall, she has a face...
33:06Almost angelic, shy, timid, emotional, very sweet.
33:12But there was another side to Gwen Grant that came to the surface, especially when she drank.
33:17She transformed into a beast.
33:20The girl who likes to pick fights.
33:22She has a strong personality, doesn't take insults lying down, and is emotional.
33:28And when borderline personalities express themselves, they often do so without remorse.
33:35According to Floydian psychology, they lack a superego or any kind of conscience, in a sense.
33:40His perception of reality is good, unlike that of a psychotic person, who believes he is being persecuted.
33:46These people understand what is real and what is not, but they do not harbor normal feelings for other people.
33:54Gwen is completely driven by her impulses because she lacks that inhibitory mechanism.
34:00That voice that says, don't do that or you'll get into trouble.
34:04In April, Katia signs an agreement confessing her guilt.
34:07In exchange for her testimony against Gwen, she formally receives an indictment for conspiracy to commit murder and a second charge.
34:15for second-degree murder.
34:18Based on Katia's testimony in Gwen Grant's pre-trial hearing, Gwen is charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
34:25and five counts of first-degree murder.
34:28Gwen reaffirms her innocence and insists that no crime occurred.
34:33The trial took place because Gwen Grant left Catwood and moved to another city.
34:39Catwood vowed revenge and to get his ex-girlfriend Gwen Grant.
34:44She went to great lengths to achieve it and succeeded.
34:48She used that as a...
34:52A way to get revenge.
34:53Gwen had never killed anyone, and her aggressions were just bar fights, nothing more.
34:59So it's difficult to know if she did it.
35:03Could she have been induced?
35:05It's possible.
35:24On September 11, 1989, in Walker, Michigan, Gwen Grant was tried for the murder of five patients at the nursing home.
35:32Alpine Manor rest stop.
35:39Gwen declares her innocence while her former lover, Catwood, confesses to being her accomplice.
35:47Since there is little physical evidence, the authorities are basing the case on the testimony of their key witness, Catwood.
36:01They focus on Gwen Grant's history of borderline personality disorder.
36:09It's likely that Gwen is a murderer because she displays many aggressive and deceitful tendencies.
36:15And Gwen is very impressionable.
36:18It is likely that she was induced to commit the crimes.
36:23But experts can't say for sure whether she planned everything.
36:27Because Cat seemed to be more domineering, brilliant, with a more calculating side,
36:34It's more likely that the idea would have sprung from that type of personality and not from someone like Gwen.
36:40They are considering the possibility that Cat fabricated the story about the murders as revenge.
36:50We might think this doesn't make sense, since by voting against Gwen, Cat was also incriminating herself.
36:56But we are dealing with highly disturbed people, and I don't think it's impossible that they think...
37:02I'll go to prison for 20 years just so she pays for what she did.
37:06The reason Cat risked being arrested is as follows.
37:10She thought that if Gwen were convicted and ended up in prison, she would be imprisoned too.
37:17And Gwen would look for her and need her inside the prison.
37:22She would control her and have her as a lover in prison as well.
37:27During the trial, Cat's mental state is not questioned.
37:34I tried to raise the issue of Cat Wood's mental health, but I was prevented from doing so by the court.
37:42And this allowed the prosecution to bolster its credibility by emphasizing the impoverished childhood.
37:50and the bad things that happened to her so that the jury could feel sorry for Cat Wood.
37:59But investigators are concerned.
38:05It was difficult because we didn't have much on hand.
38:10It would have been much better if we had physical evidence or a confession, and we had nothing.
38:15So it was difficult.
38:17On September 13, 1989, Cat Wood testified as a prosecution witness at the trial.
38:24She tried to cry, played the part of, oh, poor me, I'm a fallen angel and I want to do the right thing.
38:32And this was just another one of his staged performances.
38:35She manipulated the jury, she manipulated the prosecution, she manipulated the police.
38:39Every day, every single day I wake up.
38:43And I know that I caused a lot of pain to people.
38:46Because I was selfish.
38:49And I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life.
38:54I doubt she felt any real remorse for the deaths of those human beings.
39:02That's not part of your psyche.
39:05And the death of those people was just a byproduct of the interaction between her and her girlfriend.
39:14And then an unexpected witness changes the course of the trial.
39:19It was one of the weakest cases I've ever handled.
39:22I already felt it, even back then,
39:26That the case was very, very weak.
39:32We were finally able to obtain a statement from Gwen Graham's girlfriend.
39:38The girlfriend recounts a story Gwen told her when they lived together in Texas.
39:44This reinforces what Catwood had told investigators up to that point.
39:49It was identical.
39:51The same story that Cat told me.
39:53And they were separated by two thousand kilometers.
39:57But there was no contradiction in the stories.
40:00It was clear that they had never had any contact.
40:04And she repeated the same testimony as Catwood.
40:14It was impressive.
40:17They didn't know each other.
40:18And it was obvious that Gwen Graham had told him the truth about what happened.
40:27Murder committed out of love.
40:29On September 20, 1989,
40:33Gwen Graham is convicted on five counts of first-degree murder.
40:37and on charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
40:40She receives six life sentences.
40:50When the jurors were asked what their favorite book was,
40:5649% of them said it was the Bible.
41:00The weight of six life sentences is more than Gwen can bear.
41:05She and her lawyer are shocked and outraged that she was convicted without any physical evidence.
41:13I am innocent.
41:16I have as much proof of my innocence as they have to convict me.
41:26Catwood was convicted of second-degree murder and conspiracy.
41:31His sentence is 20 to 40 years, with the possibility of parole.
41:37She was willing to throw herself to the lions of criminal justice.
41:42to achieve the diabolical goal he always pursued.
41:49Gwen Graham was wronged in this case.
41:51She was judged for her lifestyle and condemned for her lifestyle.
41:55Which is a shame.
41:57My client is going to spend the rest of her life in prison for something she didn't do.
42:07I think Gwen Graham is the saddest character in this whole story.
42:14She is not the malevolent, violent, heartless, and merciless psychopath that Catwood portrayed her to be.
42:29Gwen may or may not have agreed to be an accomplice and was manipulated by Cassie.
42:36I think the most important thing for me is knowing that they are trapped and can't do that.
42:43new.
42:44I think that's what matters.
42:47It's too late for Margaret Chambers and other victims.
42:52But it's certainly not too late for anyone else.
42:57It seemed that justice had been served.
43:01but the strange feeling remained that
43:07Perhaps that's not true.
43:10Perhaps Catwood played a bigger role in the deaths.
43:17I think it happened.
43:20But for sure,
43:23I don't have.
43:24This was one of the biggest mistakes the justice system had ever made in 35 years of investigating the Kremers case.
43:29Until she tells the truth,
43:31as long as she hides the truth,
43:33I'm going to stay in prison.
43:35She has control over my life.
43:41You don't control me.
43:43You can be sure of that, guys.
43:44It was all for control.
43:46All for revenge.
43:49All to fulfill his threats.
43:53If you leave me,
43:54I'm going to keep you locked up for the rest of your life.
43:57Well, Gwen left her.
43:58And now she's imprisoned for the rest of her life.
44:01She did exactly what she promised she would do.
44:15Brazilian version,
44:16Vox Mundi.
44:39And now she's imprisoned for the rest of her life.
44:45What is that?
