00:16.
00:29Someone around midnight, put myself to bed, and my husband was already in bed.
00:36You don't go to bed and think the next day your whole world is different.
00:42it's not what you ever think you're going to be going through
00:50someone is in your house while you're sleeping you have no idea they're there
00:58and their intentions were to kill you
01:22your heart stops my ears were ringing that's what woke me up the smell it's so
01:31the smell across my nose I did think I was dreaming at first
01:45after laying there for a second and going okay something's happened that point you
01:53obviously become very scared like something's wrong not knowing what's
01:58going on not even being awake
02:04I kind of looked at Ben and that's what I knew I could tell that he had been shot
02:20and at that point I ran into Alyssa's room she was okay I woke her up said
02:27something bad has happened to your dad and that's where I called 911
02:32Douglas County 911 address of your emergency I was sleeping I heard a gun noise go off
02:38okay so this gun noise is like a gunshot yeah I turned up in the light when I got my
02:44husband
02:44and it's really really bad is he awake no he's dead he's dead so you think somebody came in and
02:53shot him
02:54yeah okay while I'm talking to you my partner is dispatching units out okay
03:01yeah about 3 20 in the morning there was a 911 call that came in to dispatch we immediately called
03:09code
03:093 3 lights and sirens driving as fast as we can to get to the scene
03:17and you said the front doors open and it was the front door open when you went to bed no
03:25I realized our front door was open you're scared you're just holding each other crying and not knowing if someone's
03:34still even in there a million things go through your head of what's going on and
03:39are you saying are you safe going to the scene dispatch kept giving updates the female inside told dispatch that
03:47she thought she heard footsteps inside the house
03:50and for the front doors open in europe now believe she hears something in the kitchen or someone
03:58at this time we're thinking there is still a shooter inside the residence
04:03it's very dark and there was no lights on inside the house
04:26sheriff's department
04:30going into the house to the right was a bedroom
04:36made entry into that bedroom and we noticed there was a subject in the bed under the covers
04:43we're yelling sheriff's office show us your hands
04:47multiple times and we're getting no response from the subject that's in the bed under the covers
04:56i was thinking am i going to see a deceased person or
05:00am i going to encounter someone pointing a gun at me
05:19at that point we don't know if this person is a suspect
05:22or a victim or what so i had my partner detain them till we figure out what's going on
05:27my attention got drawn back out towards the
05:34i see this female and a child with her
05:38she has a phone in her hand
05:42she says her name is
05:43melissa
05:44i learned that the caller was melissa oxley
05:47and she had her six-year-old stepdaughter
05:49alissa oxley with her
05:50the male subject in the first bedroom was a 17-year-old craig nichols brother melissa oxley
06:01you're almost like frozen you're paralyzed basically like all this is happening and you have no control and you don't
06:07even know what's going on
06:09i had brain matter on me and i was saturated in blood
06:15blood splatter on her
06:17human tissue they're on her
06:18melissa and craig were secured waiting for detectives at that time
06:46i arrived approximately 20 minutes after the initial call
06:50they had everybody secured
06:53what i do is i kind of walk in
06:55start looking around the scene
06:57for me as an investigator
06:59at the time i really wanted to see what i was looking at
07:03i could tell that there was a shotgun wound to the back of his skull
07:06there was brain and blood matter throughout the bed onto the walls
07:11and little bb's on the cushions
07:16we learned through the wife melissa oxley that his name was ben oxley
07:21it appeared when i did my initial investigation
07:24that he was asleep when he was killed
07:33the fact that someone was shot in their own home
07:36was shocking
07:38but that ben oxley was shot in the middle of his sleep
07:43that was terrifying
07:46when someone goes to bed
07:49you're thinking about what you're going to do the next day
07:52what are you going to pack for kids lunches
07:55you're not thinking
07:57you're going to be shocked
07:58especially because you feel safe
08:01in your home
08:04nobody thinks that this is going to happen to them
08:12i met ben in 2003 when i was working at western nevada supply
08:16and he had been a customer there for years
08:19and had tried
08:22getting us to date for over a year
08:24and then finally i said yes
08:25and we went to dinner
08:27the first time
08:28and he actually brought alissa
08:30with him
08:32his daughter was his priority
08:34alissa was everything to him
08:36he was so joyful
08:39fun
08:40loving dad
08:41he drove himself to be the best he could be for alissa
08:46ben grew up in hawaii
08:48and he was a very laid-back casual guy friends with everyone
08:52he accepted all of melissa's family members
08:56took in her brother craig
08:58her stepfather lived across the street from them
09:01so no one's a stranger
09:03it makes you think
09:05this could happen to anyone
09:06if it happened to ben
09:14someone being killed in their sleep is very troubling
09:18how did this happen without somebody seeing it or hearing it
09:23they separated us right away
09:26they had me in the kitchen like instantly into interrogation basically
09:34my initial contact with melissa
09:36she said she was awakened by a gunshot and the smell of gunpowder
09:42it's counterintuitive to your thought process when you see she's covered in blood
09:46but she wasn't hurt
09:48she's given me a story
09:50i want to know the truth obviously but
09:52is this really the truth because
09:53how could you be in close proximity to somebody
09:55that gets killed
09:57and not be involved
10:00i was photographed even before we left
10:02at the house
10:03of like the brain matter on my face
10:06it's not a pretty picture
10:12we had crime scene investigators come in to process the scene
10:17looking for any kind of evidence
10:19the brother of melissa oxley
10:21craig nichols had moved in with ben and melissa
10:23at some point and was living there in the house
10:27and we noticed that there were shotgun shells on the dresser in the bedroom where craig was at
10:31and then in the garage we noticed that there were shotguns
10:36it rises your suspicions of what's going on
10:41did ben
10:42have an argument
10:43with craig
10:45and did craig wake up and
10:47shoot him
10:48in the middle of the night
10:51they had to look at everything
10:58once we got to the station and all the residents of the house were there
11:01we immediately separated everybody
11:04melissa went to one interview room craig went to another interview room
11:08the only two suspects we have are these two adults
11:11and we have to separate and work our investigative skills
11:13to try to make sure we get the truth out of somebody
11:17when i interviewed craig
11:18you know i asked him you know what did he know
11:19what did he see
11:22there was shotgun shells inside his bedroom
11:25which brought suspicion immediately to him
11:27these questions are obviously peaking my mind
11:31um
11:31so you didn't hear anything at all
11:34no my doors were shut
11:36did anybody come to the house
11:38i did not
11:41i was pretty tired last night
11:44i was in a pretty deep sleep even when i got there
11:47i didn't i didn't even know what was going on really
11:52it looks like somebody shot him in the head
11:54it looks like
11:56it looks like
11:57it looks like
11:57it looks like
12:01it makes no sense
12:02no one just walks into our town
12:03and just shoots somebody for no reason
12:08so
12:12yeah
12:14i
12:36I'm going to ask you bluntly, and I apologize for doing it, but I have to.
12:43Did you kill Ben?
13:03When you go to bed, you don't think that your life's going to change in a blink of an eye,
13:10or
13:12you're going to wake up to a wholly different world.
13:20We have a dead man in his bed that was shot in his sleep.
13:23We don't know why.
13:24I've got a spouse covered in blood and brain battery saying she had nothing to do with
13:28the murder.
13:29I got another adult male with weapons of the same type that killed the man in the bedroom.
13:38And that's where we are at this point.
13:50Unfortunately, I keep asking you questions, so we can continue to understand, change the
13:58idea of what's what, and try to completely eliminate you and Craig.
14:04So your own words, why don't you tell me what happened?
14:07I was sleeping, and next to my head of Sam, I heard a gunshot, and I smelled good powder,
14:15and I was like, babe, did you hear that?
14:17Babe, did you hear that?
14:18I need to wake up.
14:21And I turned on the light, and it's all cute, and I was like, oh, what's in my head?
14:40They put Melissa and Craig in two separate rooms.
14:46The goal was to hear from both of them, make sure their stories matched.
14:51Investigators also wanted to find out if either one of them had a reason to kill Ben.
14:59Just the truth is all I'm hoping you're giving.
15:01Oh, no.
15:02We had nothing.
15:03All we had was basically somebody runs in, shoots somebody, runs out, and that's the story.
15:09I need to talk about some evidence things real fast.
15:30In the back of my mind, I guess one of the biggest concerns, she wasn't injured being in close proximity
15:37to somebody who was murdered.
15:38At the angle trajectory of everything, there is little pellets at the level that should have struck you.
15:46I don't understand why.
15:49Another problem I'm having is your clothes and everything have appearance of something you laid in,
15:55like you laid down into the blood, as opposed to it being cast upon you.
16:01I think I nailed down this way, but then I came back over here, turn on the light, and look
16:06this way.
16:06And again, I have to clear these things up.
16:09She was the most closely related person to Ben, and she was right next to him when he got murdered.
16:14And it was very hard to believe that she slept right through the murder and didn't know anything about it.
16:18The other thing I don't understand is why, why did you not hear, or why did you not see anything?
16:26Like you're hearing someone going down the hallway, or a shadow, or a car driving away.
16:43We will find out who did this, and the idea is to get there as fast as we can.
16:49If I, I will tell you that it, if you have some involvement, I'm just going to tell you, we're
16:53going to find it out.
17:03It's the worst feeling thinking that you're going to blame for your husband is dead.
17:16If you're just a random murder, why don't they take you out?
17:19I think you're right there.
17:20That's the right cop.
17:22What exactly? Why did they leave a witness?
17:25They don't understand what...
17:27What?
17:28What?
17:32Let me see what Craig has to say, maybe we can...
17:40Is Craig and Melissa involved together?
17:42Is this some kind of dispute between Melissa and Ben?
17:45And Craig loves his sister, and he was, you know, to offend her for whatever reason.
17:49You want to make sure if one person's lying or telling the truth, you want to confirm those stories with
17:53each other.
17:55They're both possible suspects.
17:58I didn't even hear anything going on.
18:00I was sleeping, and all of a sudden I got woke up with a bunch of lights on my face.
18:06I think it's a possible scenario to think that Craig, if he got mad at Ben, could have committed the
18:10murder and not hurt his sister.
18:11It would make a lot of sense.
18:13Whenever we have a person that's murdered, we look at the family.
18:19So if anything comes up in the family, you know, sometimes the dirty laundry is there.
18:24I'm going to ask you bluntly, and I apologize for doing it, but I have to.
18:28You know, did you kill Ben?
18:31No, I didn't know.
18:39I wish you I got is the rounds that they got him, or the rounds that were in the house.
18:48I just don't see my brother doing it.
18:50I think he's the one that does the guns, but I just don't.
19:00Melissa Oxley and her brother Craig took a light of texture test.
19:04Both of them did separately.
19:07Craig eventually took a polygraph examination.
19:10Passed that.
19:11The gunshot residue test on Craig came back with no findings on him.
19:17We eliminated Craig as a suspect.
19:28I lost a best friend, a brother, a father figure, all instantly.
19:40When I was woken up, I had no clue what was going on.
19:44I was still in a daze from sleeping.
19:48Couldn't see anything because the lights were strobing in my eyes.
19:53They just ordered me to get up out of bed, turn around, put my hands up.
19:59I felt like I was being accused of murder of my own brother.
20:05I wasn't able to sleep for numerous days.
20:08Every time I thought about laying down, I would just fall apart,
20:12and I would just sit there and stare at the wall and cry.
20:15And my life was definitely flipped upside down.
20:32Ben grew up in between Arizona and Hawaii,
20:35and then had met his ex-wife Dawn in Indiana.
20:39And then they had moved to Arizona where Alyssa was born.
20:43By 2004, Ben had been divorced from his ex, Dawn.
20:54Ben and I got married on September 17th in 2006 up at Tahoe.
21:03Alyssa was happy.
21:06We did a special ceremony for Alyssa,
21:09me accepting her as my daughter and gave her a bracelet.
21:15It meant everything to me.
21:17She really was a part of my life just like he was.
21:19I was accepting her just as I accepted him.
21:25It was like mother-daughter.
21:27We did everything together.
21:31Ben had a way of always making me feel so loved.
21:37He was a great husband.
21:38Like, I can still feel the love 15 years later.
21:41Like, he was the one that gave me the power to be able to go on.
21:45I know I was loved.
21:46There was never a doubt in my mind.
21:57One thing investigators did not expect was that Ben's six-year-old daughter,
22:03Alyssa, could have been a witness.
22:08I was hoping that maybe Alyssa might have had some information that she could,
22:11you know, being six years old, she might have saw something.
22:13Well, I was just back to sleep, but I woke up and heard this creak at the front door.
22:26I heard it, and I just looked out, and I saw someone walking in.
22:31I mean, isn't that everybody's worst nightmare?
22:36Imagine you're six years old.
22:38You're just a little kid.
22:45All of a sudden, a big, dark, shadowy figure
22:52appears in the hallway outside your room.
23:05Do you know who they were?
23:06I don't know who it was.
23:08Male or female?
23:11I don't know.
23:13She didn't recognize the person.
23:14She just recognized it as a person that was looking in on her.
23:17That was the first time we now had somebody else possibly involved.
23:23That's crazy.
23:25What?
23:26That's crazy if she saw us.
23:28I don't know what.
23:29That's scary.
23:38When Melissa was being interviewed by investigators,
23:41she came up with a name for the investigators to look into.
23:46What about Ben?
23:47Does he have any enemies?
23:48One thing I can think of is Bob.
23:53Melissa Oxley identified Ben's ex-wife as Don Oxley,
23:57and that was the person that he had had the daughter, Alyssa, with.
24:01Melissa told me that the only person she could think of
24:04that hated Ben was Don Oxley's ex-husband, Jonathan Reynolds.
24:09So it is definitely something you guys know that was personal.
24:14When I first met Ben, like, I've always heard it's being hated him.
24:18And always, he's going to get out and kill him.
24:21I know him and Ben had had words,
24:24and I also know that he was a shady character.
24:28That's the only person that came to mind the whole time.
24:32We learned that Jonathan Reynolds was released from prison the month prior.
24:38He had a criminal history, a lengthy one.
24:42He was a violent felon,
24:44and she thought maybe he could possibly be involved in this murder
24:47because he did not like Ben due to some domestic issues
24:51that Ben and Don had had a few years prior.
24:54Maybe Don complained about him
24:56or told him some negative things about him.
25:01Jonathan also seemed to be jealous of other men.
25:06So maybe he had some kind of animosity towards him.
25:10Looking at Mr. Reynolds, who has a violent history,
25:13it's very concerning, obviously,
25:14because that kind of fits a profile of somebody
25:16that would kill somebody.
25:17He was very capable of murder.
25:27After learning of Mr. Reynolds' possibility involvement,
25:30we immediately had two questions in our mind.
25:33One was, if he did commit the murder, did he kill Don?
25:36So we needed to immediately go talk to Don
25:38and get a welfare check on her
25:39to see if she was still alive or had been hurt.
25:41And secondly, we wanted to know his whereabouts.
25:46We learned that Don only lived about 20 minutes from Ben.
25:49Investigators went over to Don Oxy's house
25:51and made contact with her.
25:54Investigators went to check on Don's welfare.
25:56They found at the residence was Don herself,
26:00her older daughter, and her son, Devin.
26:02And her friend's son, James Matling.
26:06She was safe and secure.
26:08When investigators advised her of the death of Ben,
26:12she appeared distraught.
26:14She made admissions about not liking Ben,
26:17but had no way that she wanted the father
26:20of her daughter murdered.
26:21Don was in shock.
26:23She had an alibi that James and her,
26:25they were watching a movie,
26:26and went to bed around 4 o'clock in the morning.
26:29And that was all that she knew
26:30until the protesters woke her up
26:32roughly around 6 o'clock.
26:34And we asked her about Mr. Reynolds
26:36and his ability to harm.
26:38And when she had last had contact with him,
26:40and she had said she had spoken to him that day
26:41because he had just gone out of prison
26:42a couple of days before.
26:47Jonathan had months and months in prison.
26:50Was this festering?
26:51Did he sort of go over plans in his mind to kill Ben?
26:58Maybe he wanted to rekindle the relationship with Don,
27:01sneak it into a dark house when everyone is asleep
27:04and they're defenseless.
27:30When we heard that someone was murdered
27:33in the middle of the night,
27:42the first thing I thought of
27:44was that is right around the corner
27:46from where I lived with my family.
27:53It seemed so safe in our neighborhood.
27:56We couldn't believe it.
27:58A lot of us sleep with the windows open.
28:00We don't lock our doors.
28:01You don't really think about what that would mean.
28:04if someone broke into your house
28:07with the intention of murdering you or your family.
28:11And especially when you're dead asleep.
28:27I had told the detectives the only person that I thought about was Don's ex, Jonathan.
28:43Detectives followed up on that, found him, and he was actually nowhere near the crime scene.
28:49We were able to confirm with Jonathan that he was in Lancaster, California.
28:54And we were able to confirm that with the local sheriff's office there.
28:58And it was within, I believe, six hours of the murder.
29:01So at that time, he had a good alibi at where he was.
29:05He wouldn't have made it from our location to L.A. in six hours.
29:10But after learning about Jonathan's whereabouts, now we're looking back at Melissa, thinking,
29:16why is she providing this information on Jonathan?
29:19What is her gain?
29:20Is there a different motive?
29:21Is she trying to throw off the investigation?
29:24Went to focusing back to Melissa.
29:26As we start looking and, you know, kind of seeing what Melissa's patterns are, what is she doing now?
29:31I received a call that there was a life insurance policy that was taken out on Ben a few months
29:36prior to the murder.
29:38It's concerning now that we have an insurance policy that she's going to be the beneficiary of almost $400,000.
29:44That's a lot of red flags.
29:46That's 400,000 reasons to commit a murder.
29:50If that's not a motive, I don't know what is.
29:54I also find out that she's currently dating after approximately three months after the murder.
30:00It's looking very suspicious for someone to be moving on that fast.
30:04How can somebody move on so fast from the person they're supposed to love, and then they're murdered, and now
30:08we're already dating again?
30:09I confronted her on everything from insurance money to the dating.
30:13The idea of being watched or your every move being critiqued or under suspicion, like, it just, it's never a
30:22good feeling, and you lose privacy.
30:25I was young, and I was moving on, and I needed to get out.
30:29That was really the basic.
30:31So you're not sitting at home and just depressed and overwhelmingly just lonely.
30:37I guess I was kind of in my own world, getting through, surviving.
30:43I think she was just lost, which is understandable to me.
30:48And then, again, we discussed the insurance money a little bit time to time, and she, again, she didn't care
30:53about the money.
30:53She just didn't care.
30:54We learned that Melissa hadn't even attempted to cash the money or to even obtain the money.
31:00She wasn't even asking the questions on how to get the money.
31:04I didn't know we had a life insurance, had no clue what life insurance was or anything to do with
31:10it.
31:15We are back to square one.
31:18We still really don't have a really good suspect list.
31:22You're rethinking the information.
31:23What did I miss?
31:24What did I miss initially?
31:26We started looking at who we contacted, and we started looking at his ex-wife, Dawn.
31:37So we started looking into Dawn and what motives she might have towards Ben.
31:41After the divorce, there was split custody of Alyssa between Ben and Dawn.
31:45But as time progressed, Ben petitioned the court for full custody of Alyssa, and he was granted it.
31:51Dawn was a single mom, worked in the casino, was a cocktail waitress.
31:56She had two other children, and then there was Alyssa, and Ben took care of all of them.
32:02It seemed to be pretty cordial, but Dawn wasn't really in the children's life.
32:09The child custody dispute between Ben and Dawn, that weighed heavily on Dawn.
32:15She took that very personally.
32:19Let's do this.
32:20What time did you think you went to sleep?
32:22Oh, God.
32:24I had.
32:25I watched some movies, The Departed, and Descent, and I had it in, like, I don't know, about 4, 4
32:35.30.
32:36She stated that she was at the house the whole time, and that was all that she knew.
32:43Who was at the house?
32:45Um, my son, Devin, my daughter, Brandy, uh, Eric, which is my son's friend, and James.
32:55And James is my, like, best friend's son.
32:58He hangs out there a lot.
33:01At 4.30, who else was still up?
33:02Um, James was still awake with me, and he could tell me to go to bed.
33:10Talking to the family and everybody there, the people that were there, they all confirmed that they were all home
33:15that night.
33:24We're starting to put James Matling and Dawn Oxley into the forefront of our investigation, because we felt they had
33:31something to do with it.
33:31We just didn't know what it was.
33:34We did open surveillance, where we followed them and made sure they knew we were following them around.
33:40We wanted them to see us following them.
33:42We wanted them to see us out and about in the community where they were at, uh, to add pressure.
33:52We wanted to see if one of them would come forward with some information.
34:00As we started looking at, uh, Dawn and James Matling, we started realizing that there is some untruths there.
34:05We started hearing a little bit about them being in a relationship, which was denied at first, and the question
34:10is, is why was that held from us?
34:14Initial interviews at the house, they said they never left.
34:17We went back, did some second interviews.
34:19That's when Dawn said that James did leave.
34:23They obtained the surveillance video.
34:27We found that James was at the convenience store the morning of the homicide.
34:35So we know that now his story has changed.
34:38At first, he never left the house, and now we know he's out and about in the early morning hours
34:43of the night of the homicide.
34:45Yes, ma'am.
34:52What do you think I lied to you about?
34:55In that first interview, when I originally asked you if you had gone out of the house that night, you
35:00told me no.
35:01Okay, you made up a big story about how you guys watched movies all night long, how you passed out
35:06on the couch, how you, et cetera, et cetera.
35:08You went on about that.
35:09Later, I found out through surveillance video that you were at 7-Eleven.
35:13There were finding holes in his story.
35:16Now we start looking into them deeply, like, okay, so if you're lying, what else is not true?
35:20Did I kill Ben?
35:21No.
35:21Do I know who killed Ben?
35:22No.
35:23Did Dawn kill Ben?
35:24No.
35:25Do I know anything about the murder?
35:26No.
35:27It kind of makes you think, hmm, somebody's not telling me the truth.
35:30Were you and Dawn in any way involved in the planning of the death of Ben?
35:33No.
35:47Interviewing James Matling, he admittedly denied any involvement in the murder of Ben.
35:51He said Dawn Oxley had nothing to do with the murder of Ben.
35:54I'm looking you into your eyes.
35:56I did not kill him.
35:58I had nothing to do with him.
36:00I just didn't believe James, but you cannot arrest somebody on a hunch.
36:03You have to arrest them for what they do with evidence.
36:10So at that period, Investigator Stork and the other investigators started focusing on Dawn,
36:14and then Dawn is continuing to feel the pressure of the investigative team looking at her as a possible involvement
36:20in this homicide.
36:23We could tell Dawn was very uneasy about the surveillance, and we could tell it started to weigh on her.
36:32There was a lot of stress going on, and we just needed that stress to come out in some type
36:37of statement to us.
36:43Dawn called and wanted to talk about the case and that she had had information on who killed Ben.
37:07Ben and I were going through all our tough spots.
37:11James said he would put a bullet in his head.
37:14It wasn't something I thought would be serious, you know, and I maybe didn't think about it like that.
37:21He said, no, I could really go take care of it.
37:24And I'm like, no, no.
37:29You know, you can't be serious about it because this is ridiculous.
37:32That was the way I looked at it.
37:37Dawn said that James did it at his own accord and that she didn't want him to murder.
37:43She was just angry and talked, and James took that out of context.
38:07As much as we want to all believe that's the truth, that's the end of it, something told us this
38:11isn't the truth.
38:13The hard part is, I think, and my heart, and I think the rest of the team believe this, that
38:17she was involved.
38:19We ended up giving her an immunity agreement for her to testify against James.
38:26And I think that's the choice we made, that we needed to punish the actor first.
38:31And then if she was not truthful with us, then we need to go after and try to prove that
38:35she was untruthful.
38:53James sits down, and you could tell just he had so much stress and weight laying on his shoulders.
38:59And he makes mention that he needed to get this off his chest.
39:05He needed to confess.
39:08She was always ranting and raving about Ben.
39:12I said, I'll take care of Ben.
39:14She said, I don't want you to take care of Ben. I want you to kill Ben.
39:18I said, you want me to kill Ben?
39:20She said, yes.
39:23Through the interview, James tells us that this was Dawn's idea.
39:28Dawn had wanted Ben dead, and James told her that he would kill Ben for her.
39:35During their time at the house, they conspired how to commit the homicide.
39:40I told Dawn that I would need some things.
39:47She gave me a big card.
39:48Went to 7-Eleven and pulled out $40.
39:53I had a blue trunk with a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun in it.
39:58He took my truck to Walmart.
40:03At Walmart, I bought the shotgun shells.
40:05I bought shoes.
40:07I bought rubber gloves.
40:08I bought paper towels.
40:14James goes on to say that they drove to Benjamin Oxley's house.
40:19So he didn't know the layout of the house.
40:21So he told Dawn that she needs to go inside the house with him.
40:30We then went to the right-hand side of the house, and through a sliding glass door.
40:45And then we go down the hallway.
40:48And as I'm walking down the hallway, Dawn stops in front of an open doorway, which wasn't Alyssa's bedroom.
40:58And almost to the master bedroom.
41:00And I turn around and see that Dawn's not following me.
41:06The scary dark figure standing in Alyssa's room was her own mother, Dawn.
41:15James says he makes Dawn leave the house to go outside and get in the car so they can make
41:21a fast getaway.
41:24He approaches the bedroom where Ben and Melissa were sleeping.
41:31Lifts up the shotgun to the back of Ben's head.
41:38And I'm standing there.
41:41I don't know how long I'm standing there.
41:43Something happened.
41:45I jolted and I pulled the trigger.
41:49I shot Ben.
41:51I killed Ben.
41:53I'm in shock listening to this, because I'm thinking, if this is true, Dawn is 100% involved in this
42:01case.
42:03And Melissa's the luckiest person alive right now.
42:07Dawn had asked if I killed Melissa, too.
42:09And I agreed to do it.
42:23I could do it again.
42:27I never thought, like, why was I spared?
42:32Obviously grateful in a sense that I was.
42:35That brought a whole nother level of fear.
42:38It was, like, unreal at that point.
42:40That you were actually supposed to be dead, too.
43:00In my opinion, Dawn definitely got away with murder.
43:03Definitely not fair to Ben, Alyssa.
43:07It's just hard for me thinking about Alyssa knowing that her mom had her dad killed.
43:20Investigation being finalized, I was able to have Alyssa back full-time.
43:28It was, like, another piece given back, like, we could go on.
43:33The only way I would have been able to get through life to this point is the bracelets that say,
43:39what would Jesus do?
43:40I always think about, what would Ben do?
43:44I try not to think about the murder.
43:46I try to just really think about Ben and the memories.
43:49It's just, like, that sense of security and love and smile that I come home to every day.
43:56There's still a sense of him here and with us.
44:01Like, he has so much to live on and the legacy here that he's left and how he loved.
44:07Like, oh, my gosh.
44:10I number one, these guys.
