00:09I'm at 9-1-1, address of the emergency.
00:12Yes, hi, I'm at Cicely Circle.
00:14I need an ambulance.
00:16Our post office guy was just shot.
00:24Can you tell me where he was shot?
00:26I don't know what to tell you.
00:27I need help.
00:29Where is he bleeding from?
00:30He's bleeding out of his mouth.
00:37Is he conscious?
00:39Is he breathing?
00:40Yes, he is breathing.
00:42He is breathing.
00:51Please send an ambulance.
00:53Okay, ma'am, I am sending them.
00:54Am I sending them?
01:01I am sending them.
01:24Can you give us a different map page?
01:26One second, we'll go longer.
01:28Switch up.
01:30Sam 219, we're at the corner of Heather Hill and Renaissance.
01:33And I'm out with Wheeler.
01:36Copy Heather Hill.
01:37Go.
01:38Hold up.
01:39Here.
01:47I need you to go that way.
01:49What's up?
01:50What's up?
01:50What's up?
01:51What's up?
01:52About five or ten minutes ago, I heard three bong bong bong.
01:57Okay.
01:57And then I saw a guy with kind of about a sturdy guy with a jacket and gone into that
02:04direction.
02:05Let's start working south for a perimeter south.
02:08And then we'll get him set up east.
02:11Hang tight for just a second.
02:13Set up east.
02:15They're holding medical.
02:16Should we send him in?
02:18I did send him in.
02:18You can do 41-22.
02:20What's your ETA?
02:21I told him to send medical.
02:23Copy there.
02:24We're getting them that way.
02:26Which way did you see him running?
02:28Huh?
02:28Which way did you see him running?
02:29I saw him.
02:30He's close there and then run, run, run, run.
02:34Hey, Josh.
02:35Hold real quick.
02:36He went south from here.
02:38Can you just start mobile right now?
02:43Not the street.
02:45Not the street.
02:45There's the Heather Hill circle.
02:47He can run in that direction.
02:49Just cut into it.
02:51Hey, Pierce.
02:52Last information.
02:53He was running southbound and then headed southeast from Heather Hill circle diagonally through the houses.
02:59Go!
03:00Go!
03:01Go!
03:16You guys here?
03:19I'm not close to it.
03:20I'll get a share, Stephanie.
03:21Can you do me a favor and go sit at Heather Hill circle in Renaissance right there.
03:24Just hold for right now.
03:28South to work on a perimeter.
03:30Okay.
03:31Southeast.
03:32Last scene.
03:33Heather Hill circle running diagonally southeast.
03:37Suction is necessary.
03:38He might be in any area.
03:40I need suction ASAP.
03:42Pick him up.
03:43Pick him up.
03:44Pick him up.
03:44I'm not close to him.
03:45Go.
03:47Go.
03:49Go.
03:50Go.
03:50Go.
03:50He's had no air.
03:51No air.
03:52Stand by.
03:53Just throw him on the bed.
03:54One, two, three.
03:56We were good.
03:57We were good.
04:02Tape and start.
04:07I'm gonna get tape and start taping it up.
04:12So did you see the person?
04:14Did you see him?
04:15Yeah.
04:15Could you tell, was he white, black, Hispanic?
04:19Looks like, I'm sorry, white.
04:22White?
04:23Okay.
04:24And a guy, how tall do you think he was?
04:27Could you tell?
04:28Similar to yours.
04:29Okay.
04:30Like my, your, this kind of height.
04:44Dark grayish jacket.
04:45Did not have a hat or a hoodie on.
04:48And believes it's a white male around 5-11.
04:50I've seen south eastbound on Heather Hill running through the house.
04:54Christy!
04:55Christy!
04:56Christy!
04:58Span it out to here.
05:00Bring that to this box.
05:01And then when they're out, we'll go across.
05:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:04So I'm just trying to...
05:05Yeah, just bring it to this here.
05:07You'll hold it?
05:07Okay.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Hey.
05:09Which way are you guys going?
05:10We're calling him.
05:11We gotta get everybody out of here.
05:13So, for our safety.
05:15Is the police officer gonna go behind us?
05:17We're not getting shot and killed.
05:19So, yeah.
05:20So we've got that.
05:21So what we'll do, we can't have you go, but so far, we're good in this area because we're
05:26gonna have like 20 cops here.
05:27Is it a handgun or a rifle?
05:29Yeah.
05:29So just hang tight one second.
05:31Hang tight.
05:31Yeah.
05:31All right.
05:32Yeah.
05:32All right.
05:34All right.
05:39All right.
05:46All right.
05:47All right.
05:47Yeah.
05:48All right.
05:48Hello.
05:49What's going on?
05:52Ah, we've got a crime scene over here.
05:54Okay.
05:57It's in Sicily Drive, so we thought on Sicily Circle it wasn't a problem.
06:02Yeah.
06:02No, it was actually right here.
06:04All over here.
06:05Should we stay at the house or?
06:06I don't know if you've got the reverse 911 call, but there is still a suspect at large
06:10in the neighborhood, so just be aware of that.
06:14I would advise that.
06:16Do you guys have cameras?
06:18Yeah.
06:19Right across?
06:20Can you go look at your cameras for me?
06:22I can't.
06:23I can't see anything.
06:24I was just trying to see it.
06:26It's not the very original map of your house.
06:30If you can see within the last maybe 20 minutes anybody that matches the description of the
06:35suspect walking by, can you do that?
06:41Yeah, but if he walked by prior to the incident.
06:44Okay.
06:45Does that make sense?
06:46Yeah.
06:47And if you can get, if you know any of your neighbors that have cameras to do the same
06:51thing, check like even an hour, see if he's casing, you know, up and down.
06:57It happened at 1231.
06:59I was in my garage cleaning out.
07:00You heard it?
07:01I heard five shots.
07:02I thought, that's gunshots.
07:04All right.
07:04I should remember that.
07:06You said 1231?
07:071231.
07:07I looked at my wife and I just pulled in five minutes earlier.
07:11Was it, was he here?
07:12He was here.
07:13He was here.
07:13He was here.
07:15And I heard the shot.
07:17It was a big gun.
07:18Okay.
07:19A big gun?
07:20Yeah.
07:20I think it was so surprising.
07:22It wasn't a small gun at all.
07:23Okay.
07:24I'm just going to walk over here and see if I can't find.
07:40Alright.
07:42I got, this guy heard five shots so I've got a shell with casing right here.
07:49Um, I have, looks like it was possibly coming from this direction because I have something
07:57hitting the sidewalk here.
08:01Here's a shell casing here, shell casing here, shell casing here.
08:04Who after you got here?
08:06Um, huh?
08:07Who after you got here?
08:08Uh, Douglas got here.
08:09And I forgot to hit my recorder.
08:12Okay.
08:12I hit it.
08:13Later.
08:14Wait, I apologize.
08:15Let's have you step out of there.
08:17Let's have you.
08:18Let's have a 30 second tire up.
08:20Oh, sir.
08:23Alright, sir.
08:24We saw the event.
08:27Harding it.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:30Absolutely.
08:31Yes, sir.
08:36How are you doing, sir?
08:39I was on Pike and it becomes Renaissance from either Maxwell
08:43or Pedro.
08:46Yes.
08:46My name's John.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Is it okay?
08:48We go in the house.
08:49My back is bad.
08:50I can't stand for very long.
08:51Let's go in the house.
08:52Don't give me the intro, John.
08:54We were in the house.
08:55We heard boom, boom, boom, boom.
08:59Annette came out of her office and she said,
09:01I think something just happened to our mailman.
09:04And, uh, take him up to your office and show him looking
09:11out.
09:14Sitting at my desk.
09:15I know the mailman comes noonish.
09:18So I had seen the truck out there.
09:20I saw a man in a hoodie jogging on that path.
09:27So I saw him jog on that path.
09:29And then I saw him cut over to the road.
09:31And I didn't follow where he went from there.
09:34I didn't see a gun.
09:36I didn't see anything in his hands or anything like that.
09:39Just a jogging pace.
09:42The postman was taking a breath or two.
09:47But I think those were his last breaths.
09:51And, uh, when did you call 911?
09:53Was it up here?
09:55It was down the street.
09:57It was at 1233.
09:59Hello, sir.
10:00Hey, question for you.
10:02Do you have any, like, ring doorbell cameras?
10:05Uh, exterior cameras?
10:06Yes, I actually do.
10:09Okay.
10:10Do you mind if we take a look?
10:11We just want to kind of look and see what was down there.
10:13Absolutely okay.
10:13I hope anything bad.
10:15I don't see a man's going on.
10:16Yeah, unfortunately, unfortunately there is, but...
10:19Somebody you're looking for.
10:20Um, yeah, we're looking to see what we can find on camera in the neighborhood.
10:23Okay.
10:23All right.
10:24Coming out the front door.
10:25We're looking for around noonish to 1230.
10:29Did you hear or see anything suspicious around this area?
10:32I see that you have cameras.
10:33I just looked at all, nothing.
10:34Have you heard anything in the last hour and a half or so?
10:38You did not hear anything.
10:39I know you heard a bunch of sirens.
10:40Well, I walked, I mean, frankly, my neighbor and I walked over and we saw what happened.
10:44Okay.
10:44So, we talked to the neighbor there.
10:46I'm the president of the HOA.
10:47Okay.
10:48So...
10:48Are you able to communicate with your HOA, everybody?
10:51And send out an email.
10:52Yeah.
10:52Ask them to check there if anybody has doorbells, cameras, stuff like that.
10:56Yeah.
10:56For any suspicious activity between 1145 and 1245.
11:03Okay.
11:10So, here's kind of where he is walking up.
11:13Oh, he walks around?
11:14But he walked behind those houses.
11:17And you'll hear the gunshots, actually.
12:16I don't know.
12:31We learned the name of the postal carrier targeted in a deadly shooting in Longmont.
12:36Jason Schaefer was killed just doing his job right here delivering mail to a quiet neighborhood.
13:09I have a resident that has an older detached garage and she's concerned the suspect might be in her garage.
13:17And Frankie, get another unit over here.
13:20Drop your tape.
13:27121.
13:29A little bit searching in the garage.
13:34I'll pop it.
13:35Yeah, go ahead and pop it.
13:45Longmont Police Department.
13:47Anybody inside, make yourself known now.
14:04Make sure you check up high.
14:13Drive wall sealing.
14:16What's in?
14:18High corner, pitch clear.
14:27Can I get these back up if you pull these in place?
14:30Sure.
14:37There?
14:38Okay.
14:55Police Department, you're in the attic.
14:56Come down now.
14:58You need to show me your hands.
15:14I know you're up there.
15:16Come down now.
15:22Come on.
15:33Clear.
15:34I'm up here.
15:35Yep.
15:36Yep, I'm good.
15:43Clear.
16:11I've got a citizen report.
16:12He saw a dark-colored Nissan SUV at the far south dead end of Renaissance Drive about an hour ago.
16:20It's going to be suspect vehicles of the 2017 black Nissan Rogue.
16:24Per a witness, the male suspect was seen in that vehicle.
16:29CBS 4's Alan Junaid live with an update.
16:32Alan, still no sign of the shooter.
16:34No, Jim.
16:35And police have now cleared the scene behind the other mailboxes where this postal worker was when he was shot
16:40this afternoon.
16:41As to motive, there is nothing yet.
16:45You know, he shot him.
16:52There's no reason why the person in the silver car may have a good idea of who could be a
16:58possible male suspect.
17:05Hi.
17:08You can stay seated or whatever you'd like to do.
17:11So, my name is John, I'm a detective with Long and Long PD.
17:15Well, what's your involvement with all of you?
17:16Um, I'm the supervisor, but he's also a really good friend.
17:19Okay.
17:21Um, he's been, like, telling me what's going on with his situation.
17:24I mean, right now, this is what worries me.
17:27On Friday, his lawyer just filed papers for, they've been going through a big custody battle, but she hasn't been
17:34speaking to him at all.
17:35So, he filed some more papers so that he could get more time, and I know she probably would have
17:40been served today, yesterday or today.
17:42So, this is?
17:43That's the baby.
17:45This is Jason's?
17:45Yes, this is the six-year-old.
17:47Like, the mother of the six-year-old?
17:50Okay.
17:51What is her name?
17:52Her name is Devin.
17:53Devin.
17:55D-E-V-A-N.
17:56And then it's Shriner as her last name.
17:58So, there's some kind of child custody paperwork that he could probably get served today.
18:02So, they have kind of joint custody, but, like, they just stopped responding to any of his messages.
18:09She won't respond to his lawyer.
18:11Just, like, like, really mean messages.
18:15I mean, she's, like, she's crazy.
18:17From what I know of her, she's crazy.
18:20But I don't know if she's as crazy.
18:33I mean, your name is Vicki, correct?
18:35Yes.
18:36How can I help you?
18:39I know from a vicarious and a remotely care.
18:41I just want to understand that we try to stay just because the most close to him than I do.
18:49Because when it comes to discipline, it's me.
18:53All I know, all I can tell you is that he was having time with his baby mama.
18:57She did work for us for a brief moment.
19:00I thought she was a little bit strange and all.
19:03So, the job wasn't right for her.
19:06Her, that, and the fact that she was constantly fired.
19:09Do you know anything about anyone else that she would have been dating, possibly?
19:13She got a boyfriend that threatened him.
19:16How long ago was that that you heard that?
19:20This had to have been in August.
19:24August, you heard that?
19:25And I want to say it was around August.
19:27Because when I asked something, I said, is it something that we need to be aware of?
19:31Do I need to change your route?
19:32Do I need to change the setup?
19:34Do she know your route?
19:35What do you want me to do?
19:36And you said, you'll take care of it.
19:37But for safety reasons, we tried to avoid as much as this is possible.
19:42Yeah.
19:42And unfortunately, no one can predict it.
19:44I know that.
19:46But I've got to explain these to 100 and certain people.
19:49Yeah.
20:09Hi, Rosa.
20:10Do you have a water and everything?
20:12Yeah.
20:12Okay.
20:13I'm going to shut this door, but just for privacy, okay?
20:17I can only imagine what you're going through.
20:21I'm not even going to pretend to understand, but there's a lot going on.
20:25And your sister, just to make sure I have all the names right, your current boyfriend.
20:30Is she?
20:31Right.
20:31Okay.
20:32And your sister is Devin?
20:35Mm-hmm.
20:35Okay.
20:38So obviously, a lot of different dynamics with this relationship, just with Devin being
20:45your sister.
20:46She's just extremely angry with the fact that I have what she wants, which is a family.
20:52And I don't know why.
20:54I was just like, I feel like Devin's going to be mad and she's going to try to do something.
21:00So you think whoever did this, you think it was somebody who targeted Jason?
21:04You don't think it was somebody random?
21:06No.
21:06If I'm being honest, I think it came from her.
21:09And I think it was somebody, her boyfriend, AJ, whatever.
21:14Can you tell me more about what maybe made you think that?
21:17In the past, she kind of threatened Jason.
21:19She was like, AJ knows where you live and he has his guns.
21:24When they said he was shot, of course, he immediately thought of AJ.
21:30Do you know if Devin has access to guns?
21:35AJ gave her a gun once.
21:37So absolutely, in your mind, you think that this came from Devin, whether she did it herself
21:41or she had something else to inform her?
21:43No doubt about it.
21:45Wow.
21:46Absolutely.
21:47Okay.
21:48It's not easy to talk about.
21:52Thank you, Rosa.
21:53It was nice to meet you.
22:08Just answer the phone.
22:09Ask her questions.
22:10We're not here.
22:11She can come pick up the kid.
22:14This is Ren.
22:15Can I help you?
22:26No, Jason has not picked up yet.
22:28Okay, well, I don't know what's happening because people keep calling me and telling me
22:33that something has happened to Jason and if he hasn't picked up, that makes me wonder
22:38if something did actually happen.
22:40I don't know if I'm going to be able to get there.
22:43See, I'm going to need to stand by.
22:44I'm in Fort Collins right now, so I wasn't supposed to have him save Jason.
22:53So let me see what I need to figure out.
22:56And if Jason ends up showing up in the next 30 minutes, can you let me know?
23:01Because I need to try to get a hold of him to you.
23:03I don't know what's happening.
23:04Sure.
23:05I absolutely will.
23:06Yeah.
23:07Okay.
23:07Great.
23:08Thank you so much.
23:09Okay.
23:10Good job.
23:10Sam 180.
23:12Just be advised, the suspect called, said she was in Fort Collins.
23:17She says she is unable to come and get him at the moment.
23:21Yeah, 180, I copy.
23:28Hi, I was transferred to you.
23:30I've been getting a lot of calls from people that I know saying that there may have been an
23:35accident with my son's father.
23:37What's your name?
23:38Devin Schreiner.
23:40Okay.
23:41Yeah, there's been an incident, and so we're trying to figure out what's going on.
23:46Can you tell me what's happening?
23:47Because everybody just keeps saying there's an accident, and my son is supposed to be with
23:51him right now.
23:52We have the son.
23:53He's fine.
23:54You have my son?
23:55Yep.
23:55Why?
23:56I don't understand why nobody called me.
23:58Well, let's figure out what's going on.
24:00Are you able to come down to the police department?
24:01I mean, you have my son.
24:03Yes, of course I'm coming down there.
24:23I'm going to go right over here.
24:29Where is my son?
24:31I'm not sure where he is exactly, but we're going to come this way, and we'll see if we-
24:35Okay, well, I need my son.
24:37Somebody needs to tell me where he is.
24:38Okay.
24:39And we'll find that out right away.
24:45This is just our-
24:47We're going to go right here.
24:49I think they're going to bring him down this way.
24:51Okay, well, I need him to be here now.
24:53Who is he with?
24:55He's going to be with an officer right now, so-
24:57I need to know where my kid is, and I need to know what's happening, because nobody's telling
25:00me anything.
25:01I'm sure they're bringing somebody down.
25:03We're going to tell you what's going to happen.
25:04Do you want to take a seat for a second?
25:06You can stay standing if you'd like, but-
25:09Okay.
25:10It sounds like somebody's coming here.
25:12Just a second.
25:13Let me make sure somebody's on their way.
25:21Do you have custody of your kiddo?
25:23Me and his father shared half and half custody.
25:27Okay.
25:28Whatever.
25:28Okay.
25:29And we'll get all that taken care of, and figure it out here.
25:33We definitely know your son is safe, and-
25:36You know he's safe.
25:36I don't know he's safe.
25:37Nobody called me.
25:39Okay.
25:40Desmond will be here in one sec, and he's got more answers than I do.
25:42Where is my son?
25:44I haven't seen him, and I don't know what's happened.
25:46He was taken from his school without my knowledge or consent, and I don't know what's happened
25:52to his father.
25:52So I need to-
25:54Where is he?
25:55He needs to be here.
25:58All right.
26:04I don't really care.
26:06I just- I want my son.
26:07Where is my son?
26:08I'll tell you everything.
26:09Come up here.
26:11Steve.
26:13You're Devin?
26:14Yes.
26:15Am I pronouncing it right?
26:16Yes.
26:17I'm Steve.
26:17You can call me Steve.
26:18Um, we've got to kind of step back here a little bit.
26:21I'm going to tell you, um, some bad news.
26:24Um, your ex-boyfriend, is it?
26:27Ex-husband?
26:28It's just- I just call him my son's dad.
26:30Son's dad.
26:31We were never married, but-
26:32He died today.
26:38What- how?
26:39What happened?
26:41Some shot him in the face.
26:42In the face?
26:44Where?
26:46I've got a lot to share with you.
26:48I want to tell you that your son's safe right now.
26:51Um, but I want to read your rights just so you know about it.
26:55Read me my rights?
26:56Yeah, just to get it out of the way.
26:59For what reason?
27:00Well, it's, uh, you know, your- your, uh, your son's dad died today, so we won't at least ask
27:05you some questions about your due diligence.
27:07Maybe you know something about it.
27:09I- I was at work today.
27:11Okay, perfect.
27:11You got a good- good excuse.
27:14Um, shouldn't be a big deal.
27:16But I want to ask you about it.
27:18I want to exonerate you, if possible, and then move on to the next suspect.
27:22So let me read you your rights.
27:23Dad, I've got the right to rent silence.
27:24Anything you say, can, will be used against you in a court of law.
27:27And, uh, have any of these rights in mind?
27:29Can I talk to you now?
27:30Yes.
27:31Do you know of anyone that want to get, uh, Jason in trouble?
27:34In trouble? No.
27:36Or out to get him?
27:37Want to shoot him?
27:38No.
27:39I don't know anybody that would want to hurt him.
27:42I don't think this is a coincidence that your- your, uh, your ex got shot in the face today.
27:47It looked like a hit.
27:49Looks like someone pulled up, ran out, shot him, ran back to the car, sped off.
27:54Fired five times.
27:56They didn't steal anything from him.
27:58There wasn't a road range case.
28:01Um, someone shot him because they were really upset with him.
28:03They shot him with cold blood.
28:04They shot him five times, about a plate to death there.
28:07That's someone who knows this guy.
28:37And you know him very well.
28:39Then let me know.
28:40Did you have AJ do something?
28:42Do you think AJ was involved in something like this?
28:44Do you think-
28:44No.
28:45I think you're definitely involved in this.
28:46But maybe- maybe you're down here where you're just trying to prevent something.
28:51Whoever's there, maybe they went too far and you didn't know it.
28:55So that's why I'm trying to give you some- some type of plausible deniability.
28:59If something happened and you're involved somehow, to some degree, but if there's someone
29:06else involved in this, we're going to find out.
29:26How are you?
29:27Are you AJ?
29:29Yeah.
29:30AJ, my name's Inspector Chris Lucas.
29:31I'm a federal agent.
29:32Okay.
29:33United States Postal Inspection Services.
29:35Okay.
29:35We just want to talk to you a little bit about a lady by the name of Devin Schreiner.
29:39Do you know her?
29:40Yeah.
29:40How do you know her?
29:41She's a friend.
29:42So, I mean, it's pretty important why we're here.
29:45Yeah.
29:45And-
29:46I saw the news reports.
29:48Were you home today or were you working or-
29:50I was home.
29:51Okay.
29:51Did she stop by here?
29:53She delivers mail out here.
29:55What time was she here?
29:5611 something to probably about 12, 15.
30:00You know, the timeline's important to us.
30:02Right.
30:02So, she was here around 11 and she stayed till 12, 15.
30:07Yeah.
30:08And I left and went to Hoogers and ate with a friend.
30:11Okay.
30:11And she went back to the building wall.
30:13And so, when you left here, was she still here?
30:16I left and she was in her truck.
30:17And so, you left about 12, 15-ish.
30:20When you left, she was still sitting in her truck.
30:22Right.
30:23And did you think that she could be violent at all?
30:25Did you ever think that or-
30:27Do I think she's capable of killing somebody?
30:29I don't.
30:29So, I don't have more questions.
30:32A couple things that we'll follow up on.
30:34I'd just be 100% honest.
30:35It's a murder investigation.
30:37Yeah.
30:37Do you have any questions for me right now?
30:39No, I mean, I asked for those.
30:41All right.
30:461030.
30:47The interview ended for now.
30:49This is Chris Lucas on 1013, 2021.
31:02All right.
31:03All right.
31:04We're going to get this going here.
31:05Thank you, Devin.
31:07We're going to introduce you to, uh,
31:08when I just arrived.
31:10I'm a U.S. Postal Inspector.
31:12My name's Ken.
31:13So, I know you work for the post office
31:15and have worked for the post office.
31:17Mm-hmm.
31:18So, because this is kind of postal related
31:20and you're working today,
31:21I want me to chitchat with you about
31:23kind of what happened
31:24and some of your activities today.
31:25Okay?
31:32Well, let's start off with,
31:34are you comfortable where you're sitting?
31:36Or would you rather sit?
31:38I don't.
31:38I don't care.
31:38Okay.
31:39I just really want my kid
31:41and that's not happening, so.
31:42Yeah.
31:43Well, first off,
31:45I'm sorry about what's happened today.
31:47Today's been a stressful day,
31:49um, for you, for your child.
31:52So, I understand that.
31:54Mm, I don't think you do.
31:56Well, I can empathize with the fact
31:58that it's, it's probably
31:59one of the worst days in your life.
32:02So, I don't.
32:02Well, on top of what happened,
32:04my child was picked up from,
32:05by the police from school
32:07and I was not contacted.
32:09Okay.
32:09I understand.
32:10I'm a father.
32:11I've got kids myself.
32:13That would upset me, too.
32:14I'm sure he's being taken care of right now.
32:17But let me start off with today.
32:18When did you get to work?
32:20I got to work about, I don't know,
32:22quarter to eight, eight o'clock.
32:24Okay.
32:24And I started delivering about 10.30.
32:27What time did you get off work?
32:30Um, almost five.
32:32So, you got back into your Nissan.
32:34Was it, it was at the post office?
32:37And then, you drove the Nissan from work to home?
32:43Yes.
32:43Is that what you're saying?
32:44Yes.
32:45Okay.
32:45Does anybody else drive that vehicle
32:47or is that just your car?
32:49No, it's mine.
32:50Are you the only one that has keys to the car?
32:53Uh, yeah.
32:54There's no spare keys for the car
32:56or anything like that?
32:57I mean, I have a spare set somewhere in my house, but...
33:01But you said you live by yourself?
33:03Yeah.
33:03AJ doesn't come over and live with you at all?
33:06Okay.
33:09Um, is there a way that I can be escorted to the bathroom?
33:14Yeah.
33:15Yeah, we'll get you to the bathroom.
33:16Can I show you this first, if you don't mind?
33:19That's good.
33:19Um, do you mind if I sit here?
33:21I don't want to invade your space.
33:23I'll sit right here for you.
33:28Oh, wow.
33:31So, so what happened in this general area,
33:34Renaissance Drive, Heather Hill Circle.
33:37Okay.
33:38One of the things that we went out and did today,
33:41or the police department did,
33:43um, and they had a lot of help,
33:45is they pulled surveillance video
33:49from a lot of different locations in the area.
33:52Yes.
33:53They actually captured what happened
33:56on one of the surveillance videos.
33:59That's what the detective said.
34:01Okay.
34:01They also captured
34:04the vehicle that was involved
34:07on the surveillance footage.
34:09And they captured the license plate.
34:13Okay.
34:13And it was your vehicle.
34:27So, you know what almost every house
34:28has these days?
34:30They have cameras.
34:32So, we have your car over there.
34:35You already told me
34:36you're the only person
34:37that drives that vehicle.
34:39I also told you I was at work
34:40and nobody seems to believe that.
34:42Now, we understand
34:43that you are at work
34:43for a part of the time.
34:44I believe that.
34:45I didn't say that either.
34:47Say what?
34:48I didn't say part of the time.
34:50I said I was at work
34:50all of the time.
34:51Okay.
34:52Your vehicle was over there
34:53where this happened
34:54at the time that it happened.
34:56We have witnesses
34:57and we have surveillance footage.
34:59I don't have an answer for that.
35:01Okay.
35:01You don't have an answer.
35:02You have, like, zero answer?
35:04How do you think
35:05something like that could happen?
35:06I'm going to ask
35:07to speak to a lawyer
35:08if we're going to continue
35:10with this questioning.
35:11I don't have an answer for that.
35:17So, here's the situation.
35:19I need you to go ahead
35:19and turn around for me.
35:21Turn around.
35:22Put your hands behind your back.
35:24Can I release your fingers?
35:26Do not move, okay?
35:36All right.
35:36Two are under arrest, okay?
35:38So, we're going to
35:38take you downstairs.
35:39We are, uh,
35:41going to get your clothing
35:41and we'll let you
35:42go to that one down there, okay?
35:44Right this way.
36:13We're going, is it?
36:14You remember me?
36:16Chris Lucas,
36:16the Postal Inspector?
36:17Yeah.
36:18We have Detective Burke,
36:19the long model.
36:25We just want to kind of
36:26clean up some of the stuff
36:27with Devin and her timeline.
36:29One of the things
36:29she told me is
36:30that she drives, uh,
36:32like a Nissan Rogue
36:33or Murano.
36:34Yeah.
36:35Is that correct?
36:36Okay.
36:37So, this is her car
36:38on the license plate reader
36:40back in May.
36:41That's her car.
36:42That's her car.
36:45That's her car.
36:47This is down
36:49at the scene
36:50in the neighborhood
36:51of the shooting.
36:53You can see the time,
36:5412.06.
36:55Uh, that's her car.
36:57So, originally,
36:58you told us that
36:59she was up there
37:00at your house with you
37:01until 12.15
37:01when you left
37:02to go to Hooters.
37:03Can you explain that?
37:05Yeah.
37:05Um, she is not with me.
37:13Um...
37:13Well, she wasn't.
37:14Yeah.
37:15Do you have any idea
37:15what that picture is
37:16right there?
37:19Looks like she missed.
37:22So, those were phone signals
37:23coming from your phone
37:25down in the Longmont area
37:26in the same neighborhood
37:28as the shooting.
37:29So, we know that you were
37:30in Longmont that morning.
37:31You're a smart guy.
37:32I think you know
37:33where we're going with this.
37:36This morning,
37:37she told me
37:37that she was going
37:38to do anything.
37:39I tried to talk her out of it.
37:40And she told me
37:41that there was
37:42no time around.
37:43So, I went out there.
37:44I knew his route number.
37:46I found him.
37:47And I told him
37:48that he should watch out for her.
37:50And he said,
37:51I'm not scared of that bitch.
37:53How long do you think
37:54you were following him for?
37:56Um, most of the morning
37:57was when he started his route.
37:59Okay.
38:00Because she told me
38:01first thing in the morning
38:02when I dropped her off
38:03at work
38:04that that was going
38:06to be the day.
38:07And I was like,
38:07do what?
38:08She was like,
38:09I'm going to get rid of Jason today.
38:11So, I don't think
38:12that's a good idea.
38:13She was like,
38:14no, I'm done with this.
38:16She said that he
38:17did something with
38:19their parenting agreement
38:21that he was getting
38:21full custody
38:22and that Rosa
38:23was going to step in
38:24and be the mom
38:24and that their,
38:25that side of the family
38:26was going to be able
38:28to provide better for her.
38:30She was going to be able to.
38:32So,
38:33you know that she wants
38:34to kill this guy.
38:35So much so
38:36to the extent
38:37that you go down
38:38to where his mail route is
38:39to keep an eye on him
38:41just in case she shows up
38:42so that you can confront her.
38:43Correct.
38:44But you didn't feel
38:44like it was serious enough
38:45to notify the police,
38:47say, hey,
38:48she's going to kill this guy.
38:49Why didn't you tell anyone?
38:50So it's 2020,
38:52but I thought
38:53I could talk her down.
38:54You didn't tell anyone.
38:55You did think
38:56she was going to do it.
38:57You went down there
38:58to warn him.
38:59You're saying
38:59that you believed it so much.
39:01You went all the way
39:02down to Longmont
39:03to follow a mail truck
39:05around for two
39:06or three hours.
39:07That's how much
39:07you believed it
39:09and you didn't tell
39:10anyone else.
39:11That's what I'm
39:12supposed to believe.
39:13What I thought she...
39:14Why did you go down there
39:15to follow him around
39:16if you didn't think
39:17that's what she was going to do?
39:19Because I wanted to stop her
39:20if she could be out there.
39:21So you did think
39:21she was on the way
39:22to go down there too?
39:23I didn't discuss with her
39:24about going and killing someone.
39:26So she just helped her
39:27cover it up afterwards
39:27by not telling anybody
39:28and by lying about it.
39:31All right,
39:32you're under arrest.
39:32Go ahead and stand up.
39:33Place your hands
39:33behind your back.
39:34It's impossible.
39:35Do that out.
39:36Out in the parking lot.
39:38No, no.
39:39Stand up for me.
39:41Hold on right now.

42:42well over 100 people
42:43protected by the warmth
42:44of their candles
42:45paid tribute
42:46to Jason Schaefer.
42:47He'll always be my son.
42:48I always called him kiddo.
42:50As they raise candles
42:51this night,
42:52the loss that breaks
