00:10a farmer is found shot to death in what appears to be a planned hit I didn't know the smell
00:18of
00:18gunpowder in your house and that's a smell I will never forget he had extensive trauma to
00:26the left and middle of his face there was a perfect angle from the front porch down to
00:34the couch in the basement we also found tracks around the house it truly was as much of a hit
00:42as I have ever seen but in this small Midwest town anyone could be the wolf in sheep's clothing
00:56did you have anything to do with the murder they all know they have better things to do
01:02the investigation reveals a toxic family dynamic and the measures one person would take to conceal
01:10their misdeeds he had been threatening to turn them in for welfare fraud two days before the
01:19homicide he was texting I promise you he will not make it till Monday morning
01:48March 10th 2014 it's just after midnight in
01:53baron wisconsin when police receive an urgent 911 call tiffany workman called 911 reporting her
02:03boyfriend daniel raven had injuries to his shoulder
02:12i remember talking to the emergency lady and she said does he have a heartbeat and I remember putting
02:19my cheek on his forehead and I couldn't feel anything I said he was still warm
02:40our dispatchers immediately sent an ambulance but also officers because the caller was very hysterical
02:47at the time Tiffany tells the deputy she and Dan had an argument that night so he'd gone to sleep
02:55on the couch in their game room
03:01a short while later she was awakened by a loud noise I remember hearing a slam and I walked out
03:10in the glass on the screen door was broke so why is there blood everywhere she went downstairs and saw
03:20mr.
03:22raven on the raven on the couch and when she approached him she could see that there was definitely something
03:25wrong with him
03:27I'm not a hunter I didn't know the smell of gunpowder in your house and that's a smell I will
03:35never forget
03:41the deputy escorts EMTs inside where they find a bloody scene
03:48the first responder determined immediately that Dan Raven was deceased
03:55it was obvious that he had extensive trauma to his upper left bicep and there were also significant injuries to
04:03his face
04:05several more deputies are dispatched to secure the area
04:13on the ground outside the broken glass doors they find two empty shell casings
04:19the spent rounds were obviously from a long rifle versus a pistol or a shotgun
04:26we knew with the casings outside and the victim downstairs it was going to be a homicide investigation
04:35I didn't realize that he was actually dead I didn't know I was under the impression that you guys are
04:44here to help him
04:45you're gonna get him out of here and you're gonna save him and he's gonna be fine
04:54Daniel Raven had lived nearly his entire life in rural Wisconsin he was born February 16th 1981
05:04the youngest of three children raised on a dairy farm we were all close we had lots of friends lots
05:11of family
05:12we spent many hours in our barn um just working playing we'd go camping we'd go fishing we'd play out
05:21in the pasture we lived on farms you made up your own fun Dan's dad was a hard worker he
05:29instilled that
05:30in Dan because Dan was an extremely hard worker as well Dan's first job I believe he was a sophomore
05:36in
05:37high school and he worked as a dairy's aide basically milking milking cows
05:48between work and his studies Dan was extremely busy but he made time for a beautiful young woman
05:55named Trista Rayback like Dan she'd grown up in the area in a close-knit family Trista was in our
06:04social circle
06:05in high school and that's how we all kind of started hanging out together they eventually started dating
06:13they would go hiking and four wheeling and just they loved to be together she just had a way about
06:21her
06:21she could she could get anything she wanted
06:27a few years later Trista announced that she was pregnant
06:32he was surprised and and very happy his daughter was actually born a couple months before my oldest
06:39daughter and a couple years later then come little boy and Dan was happy he was very happy
06:51after seven years together and two children Dan and Trista decided to make it official in 2005
07:01when I heard they were getting married I went up to Dan and asked him are you sure from what
07:07Dan told me
07:08they fought quite a bit and argued and he said yeah I you know wanted to start a family but
07:14you know he
07:15had already had kids with her Dan loved his kids he he would take them hunting and fishing and tried
07:23to spend as much time as he could with them
07:26a few years later Dan and Trista embarked on a new venture together running a cafe within the local livestock
07:35auction building
07:37it was uh the the restaurant's uh bullwhip cafe at the uh sales barn in uh baron wisconsin i believe
07:46they got it from
07:48her parents or her mother had ran it and they did good there for a while
07:58now in their early 30s the stress of running a restaurant and raising a family took a toll on
08:05Dan and Trista's marriage there were many times he would call upset or i could tell he was upset
08:14because he'd struggle most married people do they all have their their problems but the more he tried the
08:22more difficult everything became it just it wasn't working
08:30them fighting not seeing each other making amends getting back together it was just a cycle off and on
08:39i thought that that was the final straw and Dan would finally be like this this woman doesn't love me
08:44he wasn't happy and then he moved out he got his own place after eight years as a married couple
08:54Dan
08:55and Trista divorced in 2013.
09:01they shared custody of their children but Dan was saddened by the limited time he got to spend with them
09:09Dan managed the turkey barns he was up from sunup to sundown that farm was all he ever did he
09:16didn't
09:17get a chance to do a whole lot because he was always at the farm he went through uh a
09:23period of depression
09:26then he went through a period of you know drinking kind of heavily um towards the end of it but
09:33he was sad
09:35about the whole thing Dan's life seemed to take a turn for the better when he met tiffany workman
09:46i met dan through work um we kind of built a friendship through there he kind of grew up in
09:52a
09:53kind of a similar farm background life we just kind of hit it off
09:57when he met tiffany it was nice to see him uh feeling good and you know just being happy with
10:05life
10:06like Dan tiffany was divorced with two children of her own
10:13they moved into a house together on the farm where they worked he was always equal with my kids just
10:20the same as he was with his and i think that was amazing we kind of blended really well
10:25she was doing wonders on him because he was so happy and i don't know he just seemed to be
10:31back in his groove the storm was over
10:39but tiffany has just found dan shot to death and detectives are analyzing the scene to determine
10:46what happened there was a perfect angle from the front porch that you could see down
10:54the couch in the basement somebody walked up to the outside of the door did not attempt to make
11:01entry fired two rounds through the door making what would be perfect shots at a victim lying defenseless
11:13we also found tracks leading up from the roadway and around the house where the person appeared to be
11:20trying to observe the residents before moving into position and making the shots it also showed us
11:28that the person parked out on the roadway and walked up along a tree line to conceal their identity
11:42after inspection of the house uh it was our belief there was some sort of connection between the shooter
11:48and the victim it wasn't random it truly was as much of a hit as i have ever seen tiffany
11:56was
11:56the first one on scene the only one awake in the residence
12:06they bring tiffany to the station for further questioning they started asking me all questions
12:13like what happened what did what did you do and it's like what did i do i didn't i didn't
12:20even know what's
12:20going on i informed her that dan was in fact deceased where she began sobbing and crying and became very
12:30emotional and it was quite apparent she was not aware that he had passed away
12:39i just wish this was a dream sometimes people can be pretty good actors but in her case she was
12:45really distraught and based on her reaction to what happened it really didn't seem like
12:50she was the person who was involved or had anything to do with it but she never really know
12:58coming up police question tiffany about the events leading up to dan's murder who do you think is
13:08capable of this and evidence surfaces of a scheme at play shortly before he got killed
13:17dan showed me a stack of papers about this thick that he had on her
13:39the baron county sheriff's department is investigating the murder of 33 year old turkey farmer daniel raven
13:48with his girlfriend tiffany ruled out as a suspect they hope she can offer further leads
13:57the murder of 33 year old tiffany's murder they asked her to describe what happened the evening
14:01before the shooting tiffany said on sunday evening around 6 30 7 pm she had picked up her two children
14:12from her ex-husband who had visitation over the weekend when she came back to the residence daniel
14:20was downstairs watching television he had a few drinks we'd had an argument earlier that day which was
14:28wild because we never argued before and i remember thinking this is just weird like something weird
14:33is going on and he's like i'm not coming down yet she reported that was the last time she's seen
14:44him alive
14:50the evidence appears to support tiffany's claims
14:56we could not find a gun in the residence nor were there tracks that would indicate it may have been
15:02taken somewhere and dumped if it wasn't her who could it be what has been going on
15:18i was scared of him
15:25him and i had a lot of rough patches i guess it would be the best way to say it
15:32we had domestic issues
15:34i was scared of him she stated that he was working typically out of state but and stated that he
15:42had been in baron county on the weekend of this homicide
15:48but tiffany says she isn't the only one who has a disgruntled ex
15:54you know he's been having a lot of problems with his ex there's always some drama going on with those
15:59two
16:00and who is that oh trista rayback she described the contentious divorce and child support hearings
16:07between dan raven and trista rayback november of 2013 his attorney had sent a letter
16:17in a court hearing to requesting a change in support because dan was paying i think 256 a month and
16:25wanted
16:25it reduced because trista had been making more money than she reported
16:33the plan was is he was supposed to go to court with trista that week
16:37and they were going to bring that all forward because he had talked to a lawyer he had everything
16:41all lined up and that was upsetting trista when dan had brought trista to court he had told
16:50me you know tiff if anything ever happens it's her it's trista
16:59following the interview police find plenty of evidence to back up tiffany's claims
17:06dan and trista had a lot of ongoing small complaints about each other violations of
17:15the child custody and contacting each other in a negative sense he had custody 50 50 custody of the
17:25kids with trista he also paid child support but dan claimed trista went to extreme lengths to get more
17:35dan had told me she was falsifying records to make it look like she wasn't making any income
17:41to continue to try to bleed him as much as she could shortly before uh he got killed dan came
17:49up and showed
17:50me a stack of papers about this thick that he had on her food stamps lying on taxes
17:58he was accusing her of under reporting and non-reporting income to the court which forced
18:05dan raven to get an attorney and hold more hearings daniel was killed before the issue could go to court
18:12and trista was never charged with any crime
18:19daniel's loved ones are devastated to learn of his death and they all agree with tiffany
18:27everyone consistently kept mentioning trista's name and trista having something to do with this crime
18:35but before speaking with trista detectives first want to rule out tiffany's ex-husband
18:43tiffany's ex told us that he had the kids on the day prior to the homicide and he dropped the
18:50kids off
18:50with tiffany in the afternoon and then from there just out drinking we were around 2 2 30 in the
18:55morning
18:55he turned in for the night he was adamant that he had no involvement we then followed up with
19:03all the names and establishments that the ex-husband provided and all of the leads that he gave us panned
19:10out for him tiffany's ex is officially ruled out and of their three possible suspects detectives are now
19:20left with one what tiffany said and the history that officers already knew
19:28we definitely believed we knew we had to look at trista very closely
19:50before approaching trista rayback about her conflict with dan raven over child support
19:57investigators speak with his family to learn more about their history dan had called me up and he
20:05was cleaning out his blazer and he found a sawed-off shotgun under the seat that he believes and i
20:12believe that she planted there to try to get him into trouble dan had a felony in his past so
20:19he would
20:19get caught for a felon in possession of a firearm which could have easily sent him to prison for two
20:25years
20:30the incident wasn't reported formally so no charges were pressed against trista
20:36however dan had responded by threatening to turn trista in for what he claimed was criminal fraud
20:44regarding the misapplication of food stamps he told me she was using food stamps wisconsin food stamps to pay
20:54for food for the restaurant after they had broken up and that's the only way she couldn't afford to
21:00keep the restaurant going daniel claimed trista had not been reporting that income
21:08i think a lot of it was just empty empty threats about turning her in for that stuff it was
21:14just
21:14kind of his way to kind of get back at her detectives soon receive a new lead the baron county
21:25sheriff's
21:25department was contacted by a caseworker from the department of health and human services
21:29she told the communications center that she had important information that might be relevant to the case
21:37the social worker says she was asked to interview trista rayback and her new live-in boyfriend ian
21:43shirley after a complaint filed by ian's ex-wife i had made a report against ian and trista shortly before
21:54everything happened just from things that my girls were saying just to kind of ignore them when they
22:01there like acted like they didn't exist i know that the girls had to sleep on the floor i was
22:10happy for
22:10my dad at first because he was really hung up on my mom for a long time afterwards so i
22:15was glad he was
22:16kind of moving on later on she started to i don't know really show that she didn't really like me
22:23and my
22:23sister trista is very manipulative because your feelings aren't important to her really it's her
22:31way or not way she would try to hit my dad he wasn't allowed to defend himself she would come
22:37wake us up in the middle of the night and drag us into their fights
22:44it seems ian and trista's fights were about her ex-husband dan and during the interviews ian
22:52said something alarming as she was interviewing ian shirley about his actions living with
23:00trista rayback shirley made an off-handed comment that the quickest and easiest way to end this
23:06conflict is to kill dan raymond
23:13armed with this new information detectives subpoena phone records for both ian and trista
23:21while the request is being processed investigators track down the couple at a local restaurant
23:27two days after the shooting they pull ian outside to question him
23:34how did you guys get along with either tiffany or dan or i talked the only time i ever talked
23:41to dan
23:42was the very first time i ever met trista okay a little more than two years ago do you have
23:47anything
23:48to do with uh the murder of dan raymond they all know they have better things to do
23:56ian claims he and trista were out together the night dan was killed
24:01of march 9th he interested went to a local bar he said at whatever called to be 8 30 9
24:09p.m at night
24:09they were planning on traveling to uh rural new auburn uh which is approximately 20 miles away
24:20we just walked out there and realized they stopped serving at nine so we turn on one
24:26don't order after 10 minutes he told us if we check their cameras we could we could see that he
24:32had not
24:32left the residence ian also told us that he had only learned of dan raven's death at approximately 6 a
24:40.m
24:40the next morning when he said his phone blew up by everybody asking what happened
24:49after speaking with ian in the parking lot we went inside the cafe and met with trista in the back
25:01and then you go home
25:03and then what
25:13trista downplays any recent tension between herself and dan
25:25had each other like a lot got along after all that when asked directly if she was involved with
25:34dan's death she indicated there was no way that she would be responsible
25:42but detectives aren't convinced the story was too rehearsed if the story wasn't as rehearsed
25:51it would have made it more believable which did not take them off the suspect list it actually
25:58pushed them higher
26:15however investigators need more to be able to press any charges
26:20we didn't have the physical evidence to tie trista in without a confession at this time
26:25we needed more so when the cell phone records came in detectives immediately started combing through
26:32them we noticed immediately text messages between trista rayback and ian shirley that were relevant to
26:39this case they were chilling it was something i had never seen before
26:49coming up a murder plot unfolds the persuasion threats violence it was all spelled out and one of the
27:01co-conspirators decides to come clean all right out i'm screwed
27:26it was all right
27:28within 48 hours of dan raven's murder baron county detectives have uncovered cell phone records
27:34implicating his ex-wife trista rayback and her boyfriend ian shirley
27:41the text records indicated that there had been multiple previous attempts
27:48where ian had went to the turkey farm to murder dan raven but it backed out
27:56with every failed attempt trista turned up the heat
28:01she was very upset to the point where she was threatening to leave him if he didn't go through
28:07with killing dan raven two days before the homicide ian was texting trista saying i promise you
28:16he will not make it till monday morning and trista replied by saying don't make me promises you can't keep
28:26the persuasion threats violence it was all spelled out in text messages that i've never seen before
28:38the texts are chilling but they also reveal another co-conspirator while we're analyzing the text
28:46messages um we identify a third suspect what we presume to be a driver the text message said
28:56tell rb that we'll give him an extra hundred dollars if we can get this done tonight ian had received
29:05a
29:05text message from rb at approximately 10 54 p.m the night of the murder that he was on his
29:13way less
29:14than an hour and a half after this text message is received daniel is dead we take steps to try
29:21identify who he is through his phone number ultimately he's identified as robert mcbane
29:27with no apparent connection to the current suspects investigators track him down detectives went and
29:36located him at his place of work in the village of cameron in barren county and initially robert mcbane
29:42denies being involved in the homicide but you know we're holding some pretty good cards with the text
29:48messages and so we start revealing some of that information to basically indicate that he's lying
29:54so he starts to give a little bit more information back he stated that he was friends with ian shirley
30:02and trista rayback he described how they would hang out together and have a few beers and drinks
30:07after work and on the weekends he recalled ian commenting several times while they were drinking that
30:16they wish dan was dead you made jokes about it but that's not it what do you mean you make
30:25jokes about it well
30:28who doesn't want to you know uh make jokes about the popular acts
30:37robert says he didn't think they were serious but eventually agreed to act as ian's driver
30:45he stated that he had actually went with ian shirley on at least six previous attempts to the turkey farm
30:52with intent to kill dan raven he said typically ian would back out but the night of march 10th when
31:00ian
31:00got out of the car robert says he looked determined what did you do when you let him out there
31:11okay what did you have with him
31:17what kind of gun look like he admitted to hearing two gunshots
31:24i was like what the hell because now you realize he did it yeah i was like i never thought
31:31of any
31:31years he'd actually do it
31:36after the shooting he had followed ian's directions where they stopped at a nearby bridge
31:41and had hidden concealed the rifle used in this murder mcbane told the story very believably
31:51about hiding the murder weapon underneath the bridge which detectives later found
32:00how much did you get paid and who paid you
32:04no bull aside
32:05no bull aside he gave me
32:10about 120. were you supposed to get more after it was done
32:22at the end of the interview mcbane was arrested and taken to the baron county jail
32:30for party to a crime of homicide after mcbane basically verified what we knew but was able to
32:38put himself at the scene and not just himself but ian shirley as the man who truly pulled the trigger
32:46it was then time to go back and meet with ian shirley again
33:08after damning text messages and a confession from the getaway driver
33:13detectives confront ian shirley about killing dan raven he knew he was he was done he knew that he was
33:22caught
33:23you gotta understand it for us to be able to help you you gotta be straight up with us
33:30okay well there ain't no help um yeah i did i'm screwed
33:38ian says trista was desperate to get rid of dan ian told us dan had been threatening to turn them
33:46in for
33:47food stamp and welfare fraud and trista was afraid she was going to go to federal prison
33:55so if dan is out of the picture that stuff stops is what you're saying his court case is dropped
34:04he described several different times of mcbane driving him to the residence getting dropped off
34:11but never actually pulled the trigger i didn't go back home with some physical excuse of why i
34:18couldn't do it or whatever because i didn't want to but ian says trista didn't give him much choice
34:28um it was either that or she committed suicide and she jumped all over me and said
34:35yeah you know if i ain't done by tomorrow morning i ain't going to work and by the time you
34:39get done
34:40i won't be here it was kill dan or lose her and he didn't want to lose her
34:51according to ian march 10th would be his last chance to get the job done
34:57trista knew her children wouldn't be there so he didn't have to worry about them
35:03he took a 30-06 rifle with open sights and they drove to the turkey farm
35:26ian says he went back to the car but knew he couldn't fail trista again this was his chance to
35:34say it didn't work but they went down the road he cleared what appeared to be a jam
35:40got the rifle ready to go and had mcbane drive him back
35:57he was unsure of where he struck daniel or if he struck daniel because of how nervous he was
36:10ian says trista texted them updates as she listened to a police scanner
36:17so she basically knew based off the scanner that he was deceased
36:25i didn't
36:27he said once back at his house he went through the woods and walked in this
36:32rear door that was out of view of the cameras he said that the surveillance cameras that he and
36:39trista had installed were actually a ruse he said they planned the installation and this walkway being
36:46out of view as part of their ruse so that it would support their alibi as to being home
36:52after hearing ian's confession he matched the crime scene caliber of the rifle recovered and the two
36:58bullet casings matched it matched footprints that originally we noticed in the snow along the edge
37:04of the driveway and where a vehicle had parked on the roadway alongside the driveway he was placed under
37:11arrest and subsequently charged with first degree intentional homicide of dan raven
37:19after the full confessions after the full confessions after the full confessions of robert mcbain and ian
37:21shirley trista rayback was arrested and transported to the baron county jail
37:29didn't know why i could say bye to her first she she is already being in office
37:34trista rayback was also charged with first degree intentional homicide of dan raven as party to the crime
37:42trista's initial response to officers when being arrested was why am i being arrested i didn't do
37:48anything but even with confessions from her co-conspirators prosecutors know holding trista
37:57accountable could be an uphill battle trista had her right to an attorney and had not confessed she
38:06believes because she didn't following their confessions ian shirley and robert mcbain plead guilty to
38:24second degree intentional homicide ian is sentenced to 20 years in prison and robert receives 15 years
38:33as we continued to interview the outlying people that were involved from bar patrons to friends to
38:41family the most consistent word i think i heard in interviews was evil and that's the word that people
38:50use to describe trista was evil ian's family provides some scathing testimony
39:03she was behind this you know ian pulled the trigger and he needs to be in trouble for that but
39:09this was
39:09not his idea never before i even knew who dan was and the car kids knew it too that she
39:16hated their dad
39:17she was pretty manipulative she had just changed who he was as a person anyone who knows him knows that
39:26he would have never done something like this he had moved out of his house he had sold everything
39:32that he owned and pretty much gave himself to trista it had gotten bad to her i don't think he
39:41seen much of a way out you know i've heard her threaten suicide a few times during their fights
39:48i think that's another manipulation tactic too
39:53both ian shirley and robert mcbane were easily manipulated ian had described dan raven as being a
40:02nice guy but was aware that trista did not like him and wanted him out of the picture robert mcbane
40:09said he had never even met dan raven personally but simply knew of trista rayback's hatred toward
40:16him it was apparent that trista rayback was actually the mastermind
40:24but without any direct evidence of trista's involvement prosecutors are worried she might
40:30be exonerated so they make a difficult decision there are always fears of taking your case to a
40:39jury trial especially since trista had not confessed and was blaming ian for his actions and mcmaine just
40:48going along with it
40:52trista's attorneys seem equally concerned about risking a jury trial so they accept a plea deal
41:00in february of 2015 trista was sentenced to 15 years of initial confinement with 10 years on extended
41:07supervision when i heard my dad's sentence i wasn't surprised by 20 years but i think trista should
41:18have gotten at least the same as my dad at minimum the fact that you can plan and i can
41:24say that plan
41:25a murder like that and get people involved not just once but to try it multiple times and then you
41:33get 15 years in jail i mean what kind of joke is that i don't think any sentence would have
41:39been fair
41:40enough for me honestly it's not for me to judge it's not really even a judge to judge but i
41:46don't think it
41:50was fair every year me and you know my cousins my friends we get together we have a guys camping
41:58weekend where dan's ashes are spread and just hang out with dan you know and talk about old times
42:04there's a memorial out there for dan and we go out there every year camping just to kind of spend
42:11time
42:11with them i feel like dan's been there for me a few times and i try to live as best
42:17as i can for him
42:19i feel like he's watching over me still i just want him to be remembered for
42:25not the hard times that him and trista went through but the good times i remember him and i will
42:33always
42:33remember him
