Short filmTranscript
00:18There's large swaths of woods behind the truck stop, the body was out in the open, in the
00:29wild.
00:30Animals start to devour the body in various different ways.
00:39We had an unidentified victim.
00:42The body was decomposed.
00:45No one saw anything strange out there.
00:48We had no idea who the murderer was.
00:51This is the crossroads of Central Florida, where everything comes together.
00:55That truck stop is a very busy place.
01:00Every minute it takes by that you're not solving the case, and your victim's still a Jane Doe,
01:05the murderer can be 2,000 miles away.
01:07We were able to recreate what our person would have looked like.
01:12That was tremendous, because the true investigation to who did it starts when you know who the
01:18victim is.
01:20It's weird to think that someone that you were so close with at one point in your life,
01:26that they're just missing.
01:35I think he felt emboldened.
01:37I think that he thought he was smarter than us.
01:40Both phones were pinging on the same cell phone tower.
01:44He was murdered execution style.
01:47I don't care if I'm staying up for 100 hours at a time.
01:50I'm going to find out who did this.
02:16Wildwood, Florida is a main hub of railroad industry.
02:22It's a small town community.
02:28Stair Road 44 runs width of the state.
02:32And then you have the Florida Turnpike and I-75 all converge in the center of Wildwood.
02:47There's a lot of truck stops.
02:50It tends to be very transient.
02:54And there are a lot of homeless people.
02:57They create a lot of temporary camping locations.
03:04Near the truck stop, behind the adult store, there's a path into the woods.
03:15It had been an extremely warm April.
03:18We'd had so much rain.
03:20It was wet and muddy.
03:27On April 22nd, 2013, we got a call.
03:30We had some kids.
03:32We're back there four-wheeling.
03:3815 yards off the little trail, there was a body covered by mud.
03:47And they called the police.
03:55The kids took us pretty deep back in the woods.
03:59About a half mile back off the main road, off of State Road 44.
04:06It's tight.
04:07And it's very, a lot of ruts, undulations, water, mud.
04:14The body was near a small patch of water.
04:17If there's water, there's gators.
04:19The body made me drug there.
04:25I mean, you have no idea how that body got there.
04:32The person was wearing what appeared to be a pair of baggy jogging pants, a blouse, and some tennis shoes.
04:40There was no signs of any bags or belongings, and there was no wallet.
04:48At the scene when we went through it, there was nothing identifiable other than clothing and the glasses.
04:58So we had nothing that said, this is who this person is.
05:02The body was not fully intact.
05:06There was a lot of bones scattered about the scene.
05:11And the skull was separated from the body.
05:18There was a clump of dark brown hair that was pretty long.
05:21And near that was a scrunchie that would normally be associated with putting up women's hair.
05:32There are alligators, coyotes, not to mention insects.
05:38Given what we saw, we believed some animal activity had taken place.
05:47The medical examiner's office responds and they bring out one of their own investigators.
05:53We were able to find the pieces of the skull and put them back together again.
06:00Actually, at the scene, you could see where there were three distinct bullet holes in the back of the victim's
06:07head.
06:12It was ruled a homicide.
06:15But we did not see any shell casings or a firearm.
06:21The body was transported to the medical examiner's office where an autopsy was conducted.
06:28The autopsy did confirm that the victim was a white female, 50 to 70 years of age, over 200 pounds.
06:37There was no teeth, no DNA, no way to identify the body.
06:43When they examined the body, inside one of the folds that was skinned, they were able to see the word
06:50Jane in a tattoo.
06:53The problem is, you don't know, is Jane a daughter's name? Is Jane the victim's name? We just didn't know.
07:00Without identifying who it is, we can't determine what she was doing, who she was hanging around, who had motive.
07:09The body was found at I-75 in the turnpike.
07:12This person could be from Connecticut and was driving through and had no intentions of being here and was killed
07:18and the killer went off to Wyoming.
07:23At this phase of the investigation, given the evidence that we have on a scale from 1 to 10, 10
07:28being most difficult, this is a 9.999.
07:34This woman was brutally murdered, who killed her.
07:38And how did she end up there?
07:40Buried in the woods.
07:50.
07:51.
07:57Fort Charlotte is not a huge town, but it's on the water.
08:04Life was very free there.
08:06It was like you are always on vacation.
08:12We were walking distance to where the water was.
08:18when i was about 10 years old my family moved in our apartment
08:23as soon as we got there this lady ran downstairs and introduced herself
08:27it was jane weaver
08:31at first we were like who's this lady and why is she running downstairs but after we got to know
08:37jane we realized she was like that with everybody at the time she was married to butch
08:45they lived in the apartment above us there was a balcony sometimes we would sit there and
08:52she would hang out with us outside
08:57she had a happy life and she enjoyed every minute with her husband butch jane was very trusting
09:07and caring she was always eager to help everybody loved jane
09:23then one day butch had passed away
09:29jane took the death of butch really hard
09:33she wanted to make sure that she wasn't alone
09:37so she wanted to have more contact with everybody and she would call she texted
09:45it was really rough for her
09:47a few years after butch died
09:59jane was in contact with an old high school friend on facebook ralph penrod
10:07who i think had a crush on her when she was younger jane decided she was going to move to
10:13kentucky to be with ralph
10:16and jane felt like that was going to be a fresh start for her
10:20after jane moved she always kept in contact the same way that she had always kept in contact before she
10:27she texted all the time she called all the time
10:35but as the days went on we hadn't heard from jane
10:41then on april 4th 2013
10:43one of our mutual friends had called me
10:46she told me that she couldn't get in contact with jane
10:51we contacted ralph penrod
10:53and asked him if he knew where jane was
10:58ralph told us that
11:00there was a death in his family
11:02and he had left jane in kentucky to be with family
11:07and that he didn't know where she was
11:11he was really concerned that we couldn't get in contact with jane
11:14that was alarming
11:16there is no way that jane wasn't going to contact any of us
11:24april 4th 2013 was the last time anybody spoke to jane
11:29our mutual friend told me that jane
11:31had sent a text message saying that she arrived in florida
11:34but she wasn't coming down to port charlotte
11:39there was no punctuation
11:42jane had a distinctive way of text messaging
11:45she wrote like she spoke
11:48it wasn't written the way that jane wrote
11:51i knew that text message wasn't from jane
11:54that text message was from somebody else
11:56that's what i knew in my heart that something had happened
12:00jane was somewhere and she needed help
12:02we needed to find her
12:08running the man's name through databases
12:10we find out that he's a registered sex offender
12:14we got on a plane and flew to las vegas
12:16we now have a legitimate suspect in this homicide
12:34in this case we had an unidentified victim
12:40that was killed in wildwood here in florida shot three times and buried in the woods
12:54we were concentrating on trying to get the victim identified
12:57we had collected bugs at the scene
13:00and sent them off to a forensic entomologist
13:04who gave me basically a six-day window
13:08in april 2013 as far as when the crime occurred
13:12there was no way to identify the body
13:15i had a blank skull and i needed a reconstruction
13:21our medical examiner's office granted permission for dr kimberly
13:25the forensic pathologist who does facial reconstructions
13:29to take custody of the body
13:32which was very critical
13:35because that was really the only means to get the victim identified
13:39i had pulled missing person reports from around the united states
13:43but there was about 2 000 missing persons matching the basic description
13:47of our unidentified victim
13:52the investigators began going business to business
13:55pulling video talking to people
13:57asking if they heard or saw anything strange
13:59within the time window
14:02because it was close to the interstate
14:04i felt that it was probably somebody not local
14:07that committed the crime
14:09we know that she likely died in april 2013
14:13we also went back through our firs
14:15which are field interview reports
14:17and we found records on different homeless people
14:19that had been in the area that law enforcement
14:21had come in contact with
14:22within the april time frame that we're talking about
14:24to potentially identify a suspect
14:26in this homicide
14:28we then come upon a name
14:32edward antus
14:35this particular person had a violent history
14:38and we learned he was in the woods at the time
14:40that this was with another female
14:43it was believes that that woman at the time
14:45was wearing the same clothing
14:46and in same physical description as our victim
14:52to us that was a hot lead
14:53it had to be followed up immediately
14:56running the man's name through databases
14:59we find out that he is a registered sex offender
15:02and we searched trying to locate him at homeless camps
15:08but we couldn't find edward antus
15:10he had disappeared
15:15however that same day
15:17we did find that mr antus had a food stamp card
15:21and that card had been recently used in las vegas
15:25we thought he was running
15:28we got on a plane and flew to las vegas
15:31now we're riding high
15:32we now have something legitimate
15:35a potential suspect
15:36in this homicide
15:39we just got to go out there and find him
15:49based on the information we have
15:50that we start going to some of these different locations
15:53where we believe that mr antus had been
15:56with the las vegas metropolitan police department
15:58we were able to locate mr antus
16:01at a local bus stop
16:05we did interview edward antus extensively
16:09he did live in the woods
16:10the same woods where the victim was murdered
16:14he was with a woman in las vegas
16:19she hadn't been with him that long
16:22once we established antus had a violent history
16:24she wanted to go back home
16:29ultimately we learned that the woman that he was with
16:32was the same woman that had been in the woods with him
16:34in sumter county florida
16:36and so she was not our unidentified victim
16:40from the homicide
16:42mr antus was not a suspect anymore
16:46but we still have to get this victim identified
16:50and find a suspect to solve this case
16:58we're still waiting for the facial reconstruction
17:01and so we were doing everything we could
17:04to move the investigation forward
17:08we put out bolos be on the lookout for
17:11and we put out information and details to many agencies
17:15especially in florida
17:16like how our unidentified victim
17:18was killed near a truck stop area
17:20one of the theories was
17:22there might have been a truck driver involved
17:24just because of where their body was located
17:28and so every minute it ticks by
17:30you're not solving the case
17:32and your victim's still a Jane Doe
17:34the murderer could be 2,000 miles away
17:38I got a phone call from a North Florida law enforcement agency
17:42they had a murder investigation
17:44a female left on the side of the road
17:47a semi-truck driver was the suspect in the case
17:49my victim was killed near a truck stop area
17:52an area frequented by truckers
17:54so the question was
17:56is this person my killer?
18:14we believe that the person suspected for the murder of our unidentified victim
18:20was a truck driver
18:21because my victim was killed near a truck stop
18:28I got a phone call from a North Florida law enforcement agency
18:31they had a murder that they believed that a semi-truck driver was involved
18:43I immediately drove to North Florida
18:46met with the investigators
18:47and worked with them over the next 24 hours or so
18:51hoping that maybe this was going to be a lead in my case
18:58we staked out a couple places waiting for the truck driver
19:02the person suspected who might be involved in this murder investigation
19:06to return
19:08so the other agency in North Florida could serve their search warrant on them
19:14finally we found what we were looking for
19:16a semi-truck driver
19:18I was present when that agency conducted a search warrant
19:25unfortunately there was absolutely no ties through cell phone records
19:29or anything found inside that vehicle back to my homicide
19:34ultimately that truck driver was not our murderer
19:38it was deflating
19:40because we had to go back to square one
19:43back to the drawing board
19:53the last time Jane Weaver had been seen was on March 1st
19:572013
19:58when she had driven from Florida to Kentucky
20:01to stay with her high school friend Ralph Penrod
20:08Jane Weaver's friends were especially concerned
20:11because on April 4th all communication from her had stopped
20:15and there was no trace of her no word from her
20:20myself and my friends spent countless hours on the phone
20:23checking hospitals
20:25looking for any car accidents that might have happened
20:28between Kentucky and Florida
20:29we tried to contact anybody in Kentucky
20:32that knew where Jane might have been
20:34there was no leaf left unturned
20:44it's weird to think that someone that you were so close with
20:48at one point in your life
20:52that they're just missing
20:55it felt unreal
21:05we tried to contact the police and let them know
21:07that we needed Jane entered as a missing person
21:11and they wouldn't take us seriously
21:15because we were in Florida
21:17I think that they thought that she was just an adult
21:21and she could do whatever she wanted to do
21:25a few months went by
21:26we kept in contact with Greensburg police in Kentucky
21:30and eventually we got them to enter Jane as a missing person
21:44June the 10th
21:45I was assigned Jane's missing persons case
21:49so we wanted to run Jane through a national database
21:52to see if there have been reports
21:54that could help us locate this missing woman
22:01my initial thoughts was that
22:03Jane and her friend Ralph
22:06had maybe had a fallen out or something
22:07and that she had just went somewhere else
22:11investigators learned that Jane had moved in with Ralph in March
22:15possibly searching for a romantic relationship with him
22:20so we wanted to look at the house
22:22and see if there's any evidence that anything had happened there
22:26the house was vacant
22:28because Ralph had left Green County and moved to Florida
22:34there wasn't any evidence that any foul play had happened
22:37so my belief at that time
22:39was that she had left Greensburg, Kentucky
22:49looking for a missing person
22:51you want to talk to their friends, their family
22:52who they live with
22:53we were able to find Ralph and Florida
22:56and talked with him on the phone
22:59were you living in Greensburg at the time?
23:02and when did Jane come up to Kentucky?
23:08on the conversation with Ralph
23:09he stated that he went to Vanceburg
23:11for his mother's funeral
23:13which is up next to Ohio
23:14and when he came back
23:16Jane was gone
23:17that Jane had left
23:27so you got home about the end of March
23:30and she was gone?
23:32yes
23:33has Jane tried to contact you any since March?
23:37I moved down for May
23:39and I've got a new phone
23:41all right
23:42and I'll be looking into all that
23:43if I have any more questions
23:44I'll just give you a call
23:48we knew that his mother had died
23:51so that didn't really raise suspicions
23:53but in missing persons
23:54I don't necessarily have suspects
23:56but we continued to search for Jane
24:09talking with her friends
24:10we learned that Jane calls on a weekly basis
24:15so I found out that her phone number
24:17came back to Metro PCS
24:22we contacted them
24:23we couldn't get a search warrant
24:26for her phone information
24:27because there wasn't any evidence
24:29that any foul play had happened to Jane
24:31it's not illegal for a person
24:33not to call their friends
24:35we learned the phone was shut off
24:37May the 5th
24:40a month after her last text messages
24:43that is concerning
24:44but not completely alarming
24:47because maybe Jane didn't pay the bill
24:50and then just got a different phone
24:53we learned that she was receiving
24:55a social security pension
24:56from her late husband
24:58and we tried to determine
25:00where Jane's social security benefits
25:02were going
25:02I thought that if she went somewhere else
25:05she would have a forwarding address
25:09she did not
25:10so I did find that concerning
25:13one of Jane's friends
25:15had told us about Jane
25:16opening a bank account
25:17I was able to go to the bank
25:19and giving them a description of Jane
25:21and the tellers were able to remember
25:23and say yes
25:23that woman was in here
25:25and we haven't seen her since then
25:29of course they couldn't give me
25:30her banking information
25:31without a warrant
25:33so we were not able to
25:35use that information
25:36that could help us
25:37locate her or find her
25:41we've been trying to locate
25:43this missing woman for months
25:45during the summer
25:46there wasn't a whole lot
25:47of information
25:48that we were getting
25:49but I tried to do the job
25:51that I would want somebody
25:52to do for my family
25:53I never stopped looking for Jane
26:05at this point
26:06in our homicide investigation
26:07we have a dead body
26:09in Wildwood, Florida
26:10we have indicators
26:11that some violence
26:12has taken place
26:13but we didn't know
26:14who the victim was yet
26:16at that point
26:17in the homicide investigation
26:18we knew we had a white female
26:2050 to 70 years of age
26:22and any hot leads
26:23that we had
26:24those had been exhausted
26:28the big break in the case
26:30came when
26:30we got the final rendition
26:32from Dr. Kimberly
26:35Dr. Kimberly does
26:37facial reconstructions
26:39she was able to utilize
26:41their tools
26:42to create 3D composites
26:45based on the skull
26:47her rendering was spot on
26:49we now have a picture
26:51of who our victim is
26:56financial records
26:57can absolutely
26:58give you a blueprint
26:59for motive
27:01Jane was an easy target
27:03he had to figure out
27:04a way to take her money
27:06to get rid of Jane
27:25somebody's loved one
27:26died alone in the woods
27:32but now that we had
27:34a great composite
27:35that was part of
27:36investigative work
27:37we decided to go on
27:38a press junket
27:39where we talked about
27:41our victim
27:41what we knew
27:42and see if we can
27:43generate some leads
27:47so of course
27:48all the leads
27:48are coming in
27:50unfortunately
27:52as you deal with this
27:53for months
27:54the leads
27:55didn't turn out
27:55it didn't have to be anything
27:57finally
28:00after six months
28:02we received a call
28:07in November of 2013
28:09I was at work
28:10and I had some downtime
28:12and I pulled up
28:14the Doe Network
28:15which is a website
28:16where I can find
28:18unidentified people
28:21I was scrolling through
28:23unidentified people
28:24in Kentucky
28:25and Florida
28:27I clicked on one of the numbers
28:28and I opened it up
28:29and
28:32it was
28:33gut-wrenching
28:37I knew as soon as I saw
28:38that picture
28:39that that was Jane
28:44it was one of the saddest moments
28:45of my life
28:47I didn't want to believe
28:48what I saw
28:52I went and called
28:53Sumter County
28:54and Ty told them
28:55that person was
28:57not unidentified
28:59she had a name
29:00and her name was
29:01Martha Jane Weber
29:17I talked to Jamie Gonzalez
29:19she sent me a picture
29:22it was like
29:24I was looking at
29:25a mirror image
29:26of the composite
29:28that Dr. Kimberly
29:30had done
29:32her hair was up
29:33and you could see
29:34on her shoulder
29:35the Jane tattoo
29:36plain as day
29:37there is 100%
29:39no doubt
29:40that was my victim
29:46there are two investigations
29:47going on
29:48we have a homicide
29:49we didn't know
29:50who the person was
29:51Greensburg is investigating
29:52a missing persons report
29:53who they do know
29:54is missing
29:56it wasn't until
29:57we were able
29:58to get her identified
29:58call up there
29:59and the two investigations
30:00are forced together
30:02I mean that was huge
30:05the true investigation
30:07to who did it
30:08starts when you know
30:09who the victim is
30:12once we talked
30:13to Detective Norris
30:15and the positive
30:16identification was made
30:17and Jane has been found
30:18the missing persons case
30:20is closed
30:22but the homicide investigation
30:24in Florida
30:25has been ramped up
30:29Detective Norris
30:31was able to procure
30:32search warrants
30:33to access
30:34phone records
30:35social security
30:36monies
30:37bank records
30:44when we received
30:46the financial records
30:47what we found
30:48was that Jane
30:49was collecting pensions
30:50and she was living
30:51day to day
30:51just like every other
30:52regular American
30:54and she had this
30:55source of income
30:56that was sustaining her
30:59the pension fund check
31:01that Jane got
31:01from her late husband
31:02was actually
31:04a federal pension
31:04there had been
31:06multiple transactions
31:07where the funds
31:09had been diverted
31:09from one account
31:10to another
31:10to another
31:14after Jane's death
31:15her pension check
31:17was going in a bank account
31:19of Ralph Penrod
31:21for months
31:27I basically told
31:29Detective Norris
31:30that after
31:31the death
31:33of her husband
31:34Butch
31:36Jane moved
31:37to Greensburg
31:38Kentucky
31:38with Ralph Penrod
31:44while she was
31:45in Greensburg
31:46with this relationship
31:47I believe
31:49Ralph was using
31:50that relationship
31:51in order to get her
31:53to give him
31:53the finances
31:55and that's what she did
31:57in moving all these
31:58finances over to him
31:59and then suddenly
32:01she was gone
32:05at that time
32:06obviously Ralph
32:07Harold Penrod
32:08is suspect number one
32:28in November 2013
32:30Kentucky State Police
32:32identified
32:32the missing woman
32:33Jane Weber
32:34as the murder victim
32:35in Florida
32:39as detectives dig
32:41deeper
32:41into Jane's
32:42financial records
32:43police realized
32:45that Ralph Penrod
32:46took advantage
32:47of Jane
32:47for her pension checks
32:49he's not just a friend
32:51he's the prime suspect
32:56the finances
32:57were crucially important
32:59because by investigating
33:00those financial records
33:01we were able to get
33:02the audio
33:03from the conversations
33:04from the banking institutions
33:05which led us
33:06to believe
33:07what their relationship was
33:10the day that Jane
33:12arrived in Kentucky
33:14she transferred
33:16her pension check
33:18direct deposit
33:20from her bank account
33:22to Ralph's account
33:24in Greensburg Kentucky
33:27you could actually hear
33:30Ralph in the background
33:31helping her
33:32with the account number
33:54however there was
33:56another recording
33:58and she talks about
34:00how her roommate
34:01Ralph Penrod
34:03is taking her money
34:15a short time later
34:17there's a third recording
34:20Jane
34:22calls the pension
34:24and asks them
34:26to change the direct deposit
34:27back to Ralph
34:29Harold Penrod's account
34:40financial records
34:41can absolutely
34:42give you a blueprint
34:43for motive
34:44why did this person
34:45kill this person
34:49but it doesn't mean
34:50we were able to
34:51solve the crime
34:52or how to Jane Weaver
34:54end up in
34:55wildwood Florida
34:56buried in the woods
35:03I was able to obtain
35:04Jane's phone records
35:05and I also got phone records
35:08for Ralph Harold Penrod
35:09Jane and Ralph's phone
35:12had traveled from Kentucky
35:14to Florida
35:17in April 2013
35:18both phones were pinging
35:20on the same cell phone tower
35:22at State Road 44
35:23and I-75
35:24for a considerable amount of time
35:27the same location
35:28where the body was found
35:31and then
35:32Jane's phone went off
35:34and Ralph's phone
35:35traveled to Ralph's house
35:36into Varys, Florida
35:42looking at the phone records
35:44knowing that Jane's phone
35:45went off
35:47there was no doubt
35:49in my mind
35:50that Jane had been murdered
35:52at that moment in time
35:57at this point
35:58I applied for an arrest warrant
35:59charging Ralph
36:00with murder
36:03of course
36:04Ralph didn't know that
36:08I talked to Ralph
36:09and asked him
36:10if he would agree
36:11to an interview with me
36:12and he said
36:13absolutely
36:16when you're interviewing people
36:17you hope that you're
36:19going to lock them
36:19into a story of lies
36:21or a house of cards
36:22that you could crumble
36:24down the road
36:25you know the Kentucky State Police
36:26I guess they've been looking
36:27into Jane being missing now
36:29for months and months
36:30and months
36:30they've talked to you
36:31on the phone
36:31yeah I was talking
36:32to some police man
36:34I don't
36:35sitting in that interview room
36:36I think that Ralph
36:37thought he was smarter than us
36:39he had been in contact
36:40with Trooper Dinkin
36:41I think he felt
36:42he had gotten away with it
36:44I mean I think he felt emboldened
36:45you said you never gave me
36:46any money right
36:47you guys didn't share
36:48share money
36:49no I
36:50no
36:51how'd she get one
36:52do you know
36:54he asked some
36:55I don't know
36:56okay
36:57of course
36:59I knew
37:01that Ralph
37:02was still receiving
37:03her pension fund check
37:06how did Jane's check
37:07ended up giving it
37:08to your bank account
37:14I don't know
37:16you don't know
37:19he didn't really have
37:20an answer for that
37:21well that's what makes
37:22it really curious
37:23that's what makes it
37:23really strange
37:24her check ends up
37:26in her check
37:27that she gets monthly
37:27ends up in your bank account
37:29and you're the sole
37:29account holder on it
37:30Ralph
37:30now I got a headache
37:32you got a headache
37:34we're asking you
37:35how her
37:36check
37:37how Jane's monthly check
37:38gets deposited in her account
37:40at Community Trust Bank
37:53I told Ralph
37:55that that whole thing
37:56didn't make any sense
37:57and that where did he
37:58get the cash from
37:59to give Jane
38:01$29,000 in cash
38:10what I knew then
38:12was Ralph's freedom
38:13was about to come
38:14to an end
38:15what you got there
38:49in November of 2013
38:51we were able to bring
38:52murder charges
38:53against Ralph Penrod
38:55for the murder
38:56of Jane Weaver
39:05after he had left
39:06Greensboro, Kentucky
39:07we believe Ralph
39:08drove Jane back
39:09to Florida
39:11and when he pulled
39:12off the interstate
39:13behind the truck stop
39:16Ralph Penrod
39:17lured her
39:18to a location
39:19that was far enough back
39:28and then Jane
39:30was shot three times
39:34was brutally murdered
39:36and buried in the woods
39:39Ralph got his money
39:41left her there
39:42and just continued
39:44to live his life
39:52when you get to the trial
39:54the biggest challenge
39:54that the prosecution
39:55had to face
39:55is we didn't have
39:57any physical evidence
40:00and also you're talking
40:01about multiple jurisdictions
40:03and bringing them all together
40:04and making sure
40:05that the information
40:05got across to the jury
40:07the prosecution
40:09believed Ralph
40:10was a manipulator
40:11Jane was a vulnerable person
40:14an easy target
40:16to take advantage of
40:18he fostered that relationship
40:20in order to ultimately
40:22take her money
40:23sign over all her accounts
40:25and when he got to a point
40:27where he thought
40:28his footing
40:28was where it needed to be
40:31he had to figure out
40:33a way to get rid of Jane
40:36there was no DNA evidence
40:38there wasn't a smoking gun
40:39I didn't even have the gun
40:42and I had a lot
40:43of circumstantial evidence
40:46Ralph Penrod
40:47had suddenly acquired
40:49additional monies
40:50that were certainly
40:51upping his status
40:54we had evidence
40:56that Jane was moving
40:57all these finances over
40:58from her pension fund
41:00to him
41:01both their phones
41:02were still together
41:03when they got to the location
41:04in the center of Wildwood
41:06and then Jane's phone
41:08went off
41:10there would be no reason
41:12for them to pull
41:13into those woods
41:13other than to murder Jane
41:22Ralph's defense attorney
41:23did a good job
41:24in defending him
41:27but they didn't have
41:28anything significant
41:29evidentiary wise
41:36the jury found
41:37Ralph Harold Penrod
41:38guilty of secondary murder
41:40in the death
41:41of Jane Weaver
41:45getting justice
41:46for the family
41:46and Jane Weaver
41:47is a great relief
41:48I mean it was
41:49an absolute relief
41:54it breaks my heart
41:56knowing that
41:57Jane trusted
41:58this man
42:01she didn't see
42:02the bad in anybody
42:05she loved people
42:06so much
42:06and she would do
42:07anything to help anybody
42:12I feel her in my heart
42:17it's the only place
42:18that she'll
42:20still feel alive
42:21is through the memories
42:22I have of her
42:26and those memories
42:27will be
42:28with me forever
42:41I have of her
