[female narrator] a competitive cyclist
Is killed under mysterious circumstances.
[andre] he had several small cuts, abrasions,
But you don't have this obvious cause of death.
[narrator] the investigation provides
A number of questionable leads.
She said that he had had an affair.
He had been charged with a domestic battery offense
And, also, an invasion of privacy.
Usually sex, drugs, or money is why someone gets murdered.
[greg] we drew fluids.
We went the extra step and took the stomach contents.
[narrator] but the truth turns out to be stranger
Than anyone could've imagined.
We found a screenshot of the death cap mushroom.
You eat it and you are dead.
We have to take all these little pieces of a puzzle
And put them together.
It is almost the perfect murder.
Almost.
[theme music]
[music]
[narrator] noblesville, indiana is a quiet city
25 miles north of indianapolis.
[andre] the southern half of this 400 square mile county
Is very suburban.
We have some of the safest and, in many ways,
Wealthiest per capita-wise communities in the state,
If not the whole country.
[narrator] but on April 24, 2020,
An urgent 911 call from a local resident
Serves as a reminder that
The area isn't immune to violence.
[narrator] investigators are immediately
Dispatched to the scene.
[greg] I found a, a white male.
I estimated his age to be between 45 and 55.
He had no shirt on, had a pair of sweats on,
And a shirt was tied around his left wrist.
You could physically see some red dots throughout the shirt
And you could assume it was blood.
At that point, we secured the scene.
It's on a, on a country road.
It's not very populated, but it is a traveled road.
There is what they reported as a dog collar or a dog leash
Wrapped around his neck.
I saw it and immediately recognized it as a rifle sling
That you'd put on a rifle.
You could tell from the, the amount of lividity
And some insect activity
That it had been deceased for a couple of days.
[narrator] unfortunately, there is little evidence
Indicating who the victim is or how he died.
[andre] he had several small cuts, abrasions,
Not sufficient to cause blood loss
That would result in death.
So, you don't have this obvious cause of death.
He has no id on him. So, we have no clue who he is.
Dna would take months to identify him.
So, our only real option was to do fingerprints.
We obtained fingerprints from the deceased.
We conducted a, an area canvass
And there were no vehicles found in the area,
No neighbors have seen anything or heard anything.
[narrator] while awaiting the fingerprint results,
Investigators further assess the man's condition
And a theory surfaces.
Not only was he shoeless and sockless,
But the bottoms of his feet and the tops of the feet,
Uh, weren't dirty.
One could draw a conclusion there of
Not only had he not died in that position,
But he likely had been dropped there.
[chris] we're not too far away from a neighborhood
We've had a lot of overdoses in
Is this somebody that's overdosed and died,
And their friends didn't know what to do,
And so they dumped the body right over here?
We kind of start to establish our next steps
To figure out exactly what's going on.
[narrator] with nothing else to gain from the scene,
Investigators transport the body to the morgue
For closer inspection.
When I take photographs at the morgue,
I do an overall of the entire body,
And then I start to section the body off.
As I got to the arms, uh, I noticed around the wrists
Some adhesive,
And that kind of seemed a little strange.
As I continued, I got to the ankles
And I noticed the same, basically, demarcation
Where you can see that it appeared a piece of tape
Had been wrapped around his ankles.
So, I'm thinking this is probably
Not just an overdose death, probably a homicide.
We need to start digging into that aspect
Of who is this guy and what's going on here.
Luckily, we were able to get some fingerprints
That, uh, were on file with the state that matched.
He was identified as david michael fouts
Of pendleton.
[narrator] indiana native david fouts
Was born on may 23, 1969
And raised on the family farm.
As an adult, david left his rural roots
For a fast-paced career in technology.
Dave was involved in, uh, computers
And, and technical side of things.
David was manager at salesforce, based out of indianapolis.
He worked from home.
[bob] he was a top-notch professional
In the technology and computer field.
He had a fairly high-profile job
And I know it got stressful at times.
[narrator] in addition to professional stresses,
David struggled in love.
By his mid-40's,
He had been married and divorced,
As far as when dave separated from his first wife,
I began to notice a change in his personality,
Probably around 2013.
He was not quite happy-go-lucky.
He seemed to be more withdrawn.
[narrator] david found relief from the pressures of his caree
And personal life through his hobbies.
[greg] david had a house on the east side of the county,
Where he had greyhounds,
And they were retired racing dogs.
[bob] also, he was heavily involved in cycling
And road racing.
He truly wanted to improve and get better.
I would see him two or three times a week,
When he would attend my training classes.
I found that dave was always quick witted,
Had a, a good joke ready for anybody who crossed his path.
He was always concerned about the well-being of
His fellow cyclists or his friends.
I think he did that as a way to take the attention off himself.
He would pour that compassion into his friends
Rather than draw them into any heartache
He might have been experiencing
[narrator] by 2016, 47-year-old david
Was committed to his work and pastimes
And content to live life alone.
Until 50-year-old katrina gentry
Walked into his life.
[greg] katrina's one of, I believe,
Three daughters of glen gentry, and he owned a roofing business
In richmond, indiana.
They had a very rough upbringing.
She had children, I believe, fairly young, three children.
[narrator] like david,
Katrina had never been lucky in love.
By 2016, she had a divorce
And several failed relationships behind her.
Her children were also adults with their own families.
But katrina didn't look or act like
A typical grandmother.
Katrina was very attractive, very outgoing.
She liked going to concerts. She liked going to comedy clubs.
She didn't like to be in a crowd, but if she were,
She liked to be the center of attention.
[narrator] katrina's outgoing nature
Balanced david's introverted personality.
After three years of dating, the couple married in 2019.
But their new family unit has been destroyed
After david is found murdered on a rural stretch of road.
Now investigators must apply forensic knowledge
To make sense of this puzzling crime scene.
It's clear that he hadn't died that day.
We found fly eggs in his sweatpants,
Which suggest that he had been deceased
At least for a day or two.
[greg] there were no signs of trauma, none.
So, you know, you would expect
Maybe some ligature marks on the neck,
Uh, a gunshot wound.
But there was nothing noticeabl
That would have caused his death.
We start to lean towards we're going to need toxicology
Because we're thinking, you know,
Maybe it's some type of poisoning.
[greg] we drew fluids, uh, urine, blood,
For examination for toxicology,
But we found nothing physically that we could say killed him.
So, we went the extra step and took the stomach contents
To see if maybe it was something that he had ingested.
You couldn't tell what food he had to eat last,
Except for it looked like there were bits of mushrooms
That had been chewed up and swallowed.
Purdue university is in indiana
And we were able to get ahold of their mycology department.
The doctor identified the mushrooms as l-connatum,
Which is a poisonous mushroom
That can kill you.
Even if you're dead, it will metabolize out of your body,
So there will be no signs of this poison,
This toxin in your body within, I think, 72 hours, maybe less.
And david had been dead for a few days.
[narrator] detectives are left with a new conundrum.
Had david eaten the mushrooms willingly,
Unaware that they were deadly?
Or, is this indeed a murder, one unlike any seen before?
[greg] there is so little known about mushrooms
And there was no case in the history of the world
Where they had been intentionally used
To kill someone, this type of mushroom.
[narrator] coming up,
A grieving widow points the finger.
[narrator] until suspicious internet queries
Put a new suspect in the spotlight.
That extraction revealed web searches
For what it takes to get an arrest warrant for murder.
[theme music]
[narrator] detectives are nine hours
Into investigating the death of 51-year-old david fouts.
After finding evidence in david's stomach
That might point to a unique murder method,
Investigators speak with his widow, katrina.
I informed her that david was dead
And that we'd found him in a ditch in hamilton county,
Off of overdorf road.
She grabbed her chest and she was crying.
It's hard to explain how anybody's gonna react
To the notification that their loved one's been killed.
It seemed over the top. It felt off.
[narrator] once katrina recovers from the shock,
She reveals a surprising piece of information to detectives.
She described that she and david had a loving relationship,
But he had had an affair,
And katrina knew who it was and what was going on.
She told us she started noticing in their bank statements
That monies were being spent.
And she could not account for them.
So that was interesting.
[narrator] when katrina looked into it,
She found out david had given his lover money
To purchase a vehicle.
[andre] katrina was spending most of her time
At the country house in, in noblesville,
And he was living at the pendleton house.
They weren't necessarily seeing each other a lot at that time.
[greg] we asked when the last time she had seen him was,
And she told us that it had been on Tuesday.
And this was on a, now a Saturday morning.
So, we asked her, usually sex, drugs, or money,
Is why someone gets murdered.
"well, what would be the reason to kill david?"
[andre] katrina said david had been involved with
This other woman and it was a love triangle.
So, david had been previously threatened
By this other third party,
This other leg in this love triangle.
[greg] she described to us on several occasions
That a male had come to the house
And that he had threatened david directly.
[greg] she said he was very clean-cut.
And then she gave us a rough timeframe
Of what she had been doing Tuesday through Friday.
[narrator] detectives request access
To katrina's phone records to verify her alibi,
As well as the name of david's lover,
Which katrina willingly provides.
[greg] there was nothing to physically say
Or point to katrina,
So it was unclear whether
She was a suspect at that point or not.
[narrator] to verify katrina's claims,
Investigators track down david's lover,
And she says katrina was misinformed.
[greg] we did an interview with her.
She said that david had never met her ex-lovers.
She cooperated fully
And gave us everything that we asked for.
[narrator] due to her easy cooperation,
Detectives dismiss david's love
As a potential person of interest.
They also go and talk to any of the men
That she's ultimately involved with.
[greg] one was in prison,
So he could immediately be ruled out.
The other one lives in florida,
And we were able to make contact with him.
He was able to provide an alibi
Which we were able to follow up on and check out.
There's just nothing there that, that corroborates
That they would be involved in david's death.
[narrator] in search of further leads,
Detectives take a closer look at david's lifestyle.
[chris] who is david fouts?
What other connections may he have
That could give us evidence of who maybe did this?
[greg] neighbors really didn't even have much to say about him
He just seems like he worked and then he came home
I would describe david to be somewhat of a private person,
Especially with his personal life.
He always gave a big smile and a hug when he would greet you.
I found that dave was a, uh,
A very engaging and a willing to help type of guy.
[chris] there was nothing that we found that was like,
"aha, this is gonna lead us somewhere."
[narrator] for a more thorough idea of his character,
Investigators run a background check
On david fouts.
What they discover is surprising.
[andre] in the public records,
David had been charged with a domestic battery offense
In September of 2019
And, also, an invasion of privacy.
[greg] katrina accused him of domestic battery.
And he was, he was arrested for that.
David said it didn't happen, that he had never touched her.
There was no contact order between them
As a condition of david's bond.
[greg] I spoke with his attorney
And they were going to fight the case in court.
And that court date was coming up.
[narrator] to find out the truth
About their relationship,
Detectives analyze the couple's phone records.
[andre] katrina talks about seeing david on the 21st.
And, in her phone calls, ah, in the, I think,
Three-four weeks up to that,
There were a lot of phone contacts
Between their two phones.
What is interesting is,
After 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd,
There is no more contact
Between katrina's phone and david's phone.
Why does that suddenly stop?
She never tried to contact him after the 22nd.
We found him dead on Friday the 24th.
[narrator] katrina's photos and web history
Are even more incriminating.
That extraction revealed web searches
For interesting things
Like, "crimes of passion in indiana",
"what it takes to get an arrest warrant for murder in indiana",
Very concerning and questionable things.
[greg] within that, in her pictures,
We found a screenshot of the death cap mushroom.
Deadly ones like the death cap, you eat it and you are dead.
[narrator] for investigators, it all points to one theory.
[greg] we strongly believe that
These mushrooms played a huge part
And likely killed david.
And the death cap mushroom is the one that was on her phone.
From the cell site location information,
David's phone never left pendleton
And katrina had, had not tried calling him again,
Which suggest she knows
Exactly what has happened to david.
He's already gone.
[narrator] now that investigators
Have zeroed in on katrina being involved in david's death
The question is whether she acted alone.
[andre] an additional review of the phone records reveals that
Katrina has a very close friend,
A lot of contact with terry hopkins.
Terry hopkins cares for katrina's dad, glen.
Deputies are trying to figure out
Exactly what their relationship is.
Sometimes it almost seems like
A boyfriend-girlfriend relationship,
And sometimes it seems like a father-daughter relationship.
So, we're thinking, "is terry involved?"
[narrator] there is no doubt that terry cares for katrina,
And messages between the two
Make his feelings about david clear.
David and terry did not get along.
They hated each other.
[theme music]
Heme music] [narrator] after phone records reveal
Terry hopkins' close relationship
With katrina fauts
And his intense hatred for her husband,
Indiana detectives must investigate
Whether one or both could be responsible for
David fauts's murder.
[chris] we looked into terry hopkins
And we find out that he was
A former richmond police officer,
And that he'd been retired.
[narrator] on April 26th,
Two days after david's body was found,
Detectives request that katrina come to the station.
We asked if she and terry had ever been romantic,
And she kind of laughed and said, "no."
She described terry as a father from another mother,
A dear family friend,
As well as the caretaker for her father.
They lived in richmond
And they'd been friends for some time.
[deb] he got to know her father
Through an organization in the community.
And they formed a friendship.
And her father slowly started showing signs of dementia.
So, terry assisted him in day-to-day living tasks.
[greg] terry was known to have, according to katrina,
Some health issues as well.
He was diabetic.
He had congestive heart failure.
[andre] they talked to her about
When they would have been together last,
And she indicated that, on the night of the 21st,
That there had been plans for katrina, terry,
And katrina's dad, glen.
[greg] glen decided he did not wanna come.
So, terry met her at a close-by convenience store,
And then they went and picked up food
And went to the country house.
[andre] it got late, so they fell asleep.
And when one of them finally roused,
It was, like, three in the morning.
They split and went back to their homes.
Thursday, terry had come back up
And was nice enough to bring her this,
Uh, hydraulic lift cart
To help her move articles around the country house.
And that was pretty much all the summation
Of what she said that they had done.
[narrator] rather than take katrina's story
At face value,
Investigators use cell data
To track her and terry's locations
Leading up to the time david was killed.
[greg] we learned terry came up to meet with katrina
Around six o'clock in the evening.
We have video surveillance from a bank
Of them going toward the country house.
Their gps services put them at the country house
For an extended period of time.
At some point in the wee hours of the 22nd,
Both their phones are shut off for gps
And/or powered down.
So, we do not know where they're at, at that point.
The services were turned on again around
11:00 in the morning
And katrina pretty much stayed at home for that day.
That was a pretty big flag.
So, it is our belief that katrina and terry
Shut off their, their cellphone devices
So they couldn't be located.
Based upon a totality of the circumstances,
That gave us enough probable cause
To actually get search warrants.
On the 29th of April,
We executed three search warrants.
One in richmond at terry and glen gentry's house,
The other at the pendleton house,
And then the last one was at the country house.
Nothing of substance was really located at the pendleton house,
But there was a walkie-talkie found
In the glovebox of katrina's vehicle.
It just kind of seemed out of place because,
Why would this middle-aged lady
Have a walkie-talkie in her vehicle?
[narrator] the country house also provides
Some interesting discoveries.
They find a rifle sling
That is the same brand as the rifle sling
That was found around david's body.
To our knowledge, david didn't own rifles.
Katrina's dad owned rifles,
But david really wasn't there using the rifles,
The rifle slings.
[narrator] in the garage,
Detectives find the hydraulic cart
Katrina told them terry had brought
When they last saw each other.
On top of the cart is a piece of cardboard
That has a footprint on it,
Or a footwear impression of a shoe.
There's another piece that has tire tread impressions.
So, we take all those things.
In all this moving,
We do move a mat that's right inside the door
From the garage to the house.
And there is, uh, what appears to be
A little bit of blood on the floor underneath this mat.
[narrator] samples of the blood are taken for testing
If it's david's,
This is likely the true crime scene.
[chris] the rifle sling on his body
And the rifle sling found in the house,
It just kind of was consistent that,
"hey, we need some kind of leather strap
"or some kind of way to hoist this body.
Let's use that."
Then they have to figure out,
"okay, now he's in the garage.
"how do we use this cart to load him into the car
And move him from here over and dump him?"
[narrator] the final search warrant
Executed at terry's home only heightens their suspicions
[greg] in the back of terry's car,
We found a box of miscellaneous articles.
A box cutter.
There was a roll of duct tape.
There was, uh, what's called a dead-blow hammer,
Which is like a plastic hammer that's filled with sand.
[narrator] investigators also track down
Receipts and surveillance from a local hardware store
Where terry purchased the items
[chris] not only do they buy this big cart,
But a couple of different knives,
Duct tape, zip ties, rubber gloves,
A tarp, some rope,
Things that you may want to get
If you are involved in a homicide.
We also search terry's f-150 pickup truck.
I find a onn walkie-talkie
That matches exactly to the one
That I found in katrina's vehicle.
They were both set to channel 10, subchannel 11.
It is our belief that katrina and terry,
When they shut off their, their cellphone phone devices,
They used these walkie-talkies to communicate.
[narrator] while this evidence alone
Doesn't justify an arrest warrant,
It does lead law enforcement to a likely conclusion.
[chris] there is no smoking gun, if you will, in this case.
We have to take all these little pieces of a puzzle
And put them together.
This picture is, you know,
That terry and katrina
Were in cahoots to get rid of david.
[narrator] coming up,
Detectives uncover a chilling pattern of behavior.
She would've blown up my house, cashed that check,
And she would've been gone.
[narrator] but will it be enough
To bring a suspected killer to justice?
I think she saw the slow decline in logical thinking
And she used it to her advantage.
[theme music]
[narrator] five days into the murder investigation
Of david fauts,
A mountain of circumstantial evidence
Has been gathered,
Incriminating his widow, katrina,
And her friend, terry hopkins.
When investigators ask katrina
To explain the evidence they found,
She answers with a lawyer.
So instead, they bring terry in
For questioning.
Here we are about four or five days after,
Uh, after david's body was found.
And we see there's massive bruising
On terry's chest.
There's all these abrasions on, on terry's hands.
It looked like he'd been--
He'd had a rough go at some point.
I thought we are definitely on to something here.
That he is involved.
[narrator] with terry exercising his right to an attorney,
Investigators pivot their focus back to katrina.
A deeper look into her past
Provides some revealing information.
[andre] she had a conviction for false informing,
Rising out of a rape investigation.
[greg] I think it was a rough timeframe
Of 2009 to 2011.
She had engaged in a sexual act with someone
And then had said that she had been raped.
[narrator] the accused insisted the sex was consensual
And an official police investigation determined
The allegations were false.
As a result,
Katrina was formally charged with false informing.
[greg] katrina was subsequently forced to pay for
The state police swat team,
All their fuel, all their overtime, and everything.
[narrator] when investigators speak to
Katrina's ex-boyfriend, joe o'brien,
He says lying came naturally to her.
[joe] I met her through her first husband.
The marriage ended in 2013.
She shows up and tells me that she's back in town,
But she doesn't have a place to stay.
So, I let her stay at my place.
Katrina is a person who, one-on-one,
She will try to best you.
She has to be the focus of everybody in the room.
And if you listen to some of her stories,
You'll know right off the bat that they're lies.
[narrator] according to joe,
Katrina only cared about one thing--money.
If that person is giving her money, she's happy.
But the moment that person says
"you're not getting another dime from me,"
She's going on to the next person.
[narrator] joe says katrina's behavior
Became even more alarming
Right before their break-up.
[joe] I had been in a car accident.
And the first words out of her mouth were,
"oh my god, we need to get life insurance.
What's gonna happen to me if you were to get killed?"
She just kept pressuring me every day,
"have you looked into getting life insurance?"
And I finally broke down.
I looked into it, gave her a price of
A half a million dollars.
One day, in the basement,
I found a basket that is not supposed to be there.
And in that basket, I found five grenades.
They were right underneath my chair that I sat in
On the floor above that.
I think she was going to kill me.
She would've blown up my house, cashed that check,
And she would've been gone.
[narrator] although katrina was never charged with anything
Regarding joe,
To investigators,
The pattern of behavior suggest
She'd be capable of doing something similar with david.
To find out if terry was the kind of man
Who'd be a willing accomplice,
Detectives talk to his ex-wife, deb hopkins.
[deb] I was interviewed by
The hamilton county sheriff's department.
They wanted to get to know terry's character.
We were high school sweethearts
I just fell in love with his personality.
He was fun loving, onery, gentle, kind,
Everything that I always enjoyed in a person.
[narrator] deb tells investigators
Terry began his career in law enforcement
Right after they were married.
He, um, started out obviously as a patrolman.
When he retired,
He was the captain over internal affairs.
[narrator] but in 2014,
A year after his retirement,
Terry's health took a turn for the worst.
[deb] he had a frontal lobe stroke.
We don't know what brought it on.
But I noticed a change in his personality.
[narrator] deb filed for divorce in 2019
After 45 years of marriage.
That's when katrina stepped in,
Asking terry to move in with her father.
[deb] he and katrina's dad were friends
For approximately ten years.
Terry just moved in with him to help him.
[narrator] deb says katrina used the situation
To turn terry against her husband, david.
Terry liked david. And as the marriage went on,
He started getting the, "oh, he's abusing me."
The hatred of david was very evident.
I mean, you could see, physically see,
Tense muscles, clenched jaw
Whenever he would talk about david.
I think she saw the slow decline in logical thinking
And thought processes and judgment.
And I think she used it to her advantage.
[narrator] what detectives still need, however,
Is physical evidence linking terry and katrina
To david's murder.
They hope science will provide it.
[greg] the shirt that was wrapped around
David's left wrist was sent for dna analysis,
And we learned it contained david's dna,
But a lot of blood on it belonged to terry hopkins.
I can't justify why terry's blood
Would be on david's shirt.
When did they come into contact
[andre] also, terry and katrina's dna
Was on the cardboard box for the lift cart.
Terry's dna was on the lift cart itself
And david's dna was on the rubber mat
That would have been on top of the lift cart.
And that was all
Very significant forensic evidence.
The concept that we have is that
He had been, in some way, incapacitated
At the pendleton house.
From there, was killed, loaded in the car.
Because there's no clear explanation,
Nor really is there a reasonable one,
That says that terry's and katrina's dna
Are involved in the box and the cart
And david's on the mat
That doesn't involve katrina and terry
Being directly involved with
The transportation of david's body.
[narrator] but even with the dna evidence,
Investigators still have big questions.
At the end of the day,
We couldn't prove that the mushrooms killed him.
[greg] any samples we had from david
Did not test positive for the, the muscarine toxin,
Which is the toxin, again, that could kill you.
We didn't know how he died.
It is almost the perfect murder.
I don't think there was a point where we thought
We wouldn't be able to solve it
But, will the prosecutor accept charges?
That was the issue.
[theme music]
[narrator] after a five-month investigation,
Indiana detectives take their findings
To the district attorney's office,
Looking for arrest warrants for katrina fauts
And terry hopkins.
[greg] the weirdest thing about this case is the mushrooms.
The murder was almost perfect.
But there are certain things that you can't get away from.
They overthought it.
They did stupid stuff in the end.
[narrator] the da agrees the evidence is compelling.
On September 17, 2020, the arrests are made.
[greg] terry had a lot of guns. He was living in a house
Which he and his ex-wife were supposed to be selling.
We surrounded his house,
Used a swat team to call him out.
There was a point where, where I was worried.
I thought he was just gonna commit suicide.
But he finally came out.
[andre] katrina was arrested through a traffic stop.
She has two phones with her. One is a burner phone,
And she also has $40,000 in cash.
[narrator] if katrina was planning to flee,
It's too late now.
[greg] katrina had made me promise her
That I would let her see the killer.
So, I walked into her jail cell,
And I had a clipboard with a mirror on it,
And I made her look at me, and said,
"here she is, you did it."
And she looked back down and said,
"he doesn't even like mushrooms."
That was all she said, and I walked out.
[narrator] detectives find terry more willing to cooperate
Now that he's free of katrina's influence.
[greg] he told us that katrina had devised a plan to
Feed david mushrooms.
That that night, they did indeed meet on the 21st.
They came back to the pendleton house.
Katrina walked in and said to the effect of,
"honey, did you eat those mushrooms I made for you?"
And david said, "yes." said he didn't feel good
And was having trouble with breathing.
At that point, terry walked in
And there was an altercation of some sort.
Terry said he put his arm around david's neck
And just kind of squeezed him,
And david stopped moving.
So, we asked, "well, how did you get david into a car?
Was he dead or alive when you got him in a car?"
"I don't really remember."
He couldn't keep his story straight
Because of illness at that point.
[narrator] due to terry's quickly declining health,
He never makes it to court.
[andre] his health just continued to deteriorate.
His heart was failing him.
And, ultimately, before he could be brought to trial,
He passed away.
[narrator] in 2022, katrina's murder trial begins.
Without terry's confession,
The case is largely circumstantial.
What we had was physical evidence that had dna
That had microanalysis
That kind of matched everybody together.
[greg] either alive or dead,
David was transported to the country house.
His body was stored there for two days.
[chris] david was around 200 pounds.
The rifle sling was something they could just grab
When they're trying to figure out,
"how are we gonna move this body?"
Then, using this hydraulic cart
They could jack the body up off the ground
And push it into wherever they needed to.
The night of the 23rd into the 24th,
They used the walkie-talkies
To coordinate between the two cars and dump the body.
[narrator] the defense argues
The state's theory is just that--a theory.
There's no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
Katrina was involved.
The jury agrees--in part.
She was not found guilty of murder.
[andre] the jury just couldn't be sure that she killed him,
But they knew that she had made an agreement to kill david,
That certain overt acts had been taken.
[narrator] instead, they find katrina guilty of
Conspiracy to commit murder
And failure to report human remains.
Katrina was sentenced to 34 years in prison.
[deb] I felt she should've got life.
She took a life.
I think she should've been in there for life.
But indiana says different.
[joe] she's in the best place that she can be right now.
I just feel that whoever is her friend in prison, think twice.
[music]
[greg] david finally had a family
And grandkids he loved unconditionally.
And katrina's daughter, I know that they loved him.
He didn't deserve to die the way he did.
It's terrible. Absolutely terrible.
If nothing else, dave's murder shows us all
That we, we can do a better job of
Being more interactive on a human level
With our friends and loved ones
And get the support that you and we all deserve.
