Welcome to <i>Very Scary People.</i>
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.

00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,266
Her name was Judy Buenoano,

7
00:00:56,266 --> 00:00:59,800
and on the surface,
it seemed like she lived
a charmed life.

8
00:00:59,867 --> 00:01:00,000
Judy was a nurse,
a small business-owner,

But dig a little deeper,

12
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:08,166
and that facade
of success fades away

13
00:01:08,266 --> 00:01:10,600
to reveal a trail of tragedy.

14
00:01:10,634 --> 00:01:14,166
In the course of ten years,
Judy survived two house fires,

15
00:01:14,266 --> 00:01:17,800
the loss of a husband,
a boyfriend, and a child.

16
00:01:17,867 --> 00:01:20,867
Was it just a string
of incredibly bad fortune

17
00:01:20,867 --> 00:01:23,367
or something
far more sinister?

He was funny.

173
00:07:49,967 --> 00:07:51,734
He was always a jokester.

174
00:07:52,367 --> 00:07:53,500
<i>A happy person</i>

175
00:07:53,533 --> 00:07:56,367
<i>and brought everybody else</i>
<i>to a happy mood.</i>

176
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:58,533
Just all-around good guy
to me.

<i>I believe he told me</i>

John Gentry returned
to Florida

193

to establish a new business.

194
00:08:31,634 --> 00:08:35,166
He was the smart
business mind of the family.

195
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:38,066
<i>He owned wallpaper</i>

John was engaged

202
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:56,166
I spoke to Judy
the night of the bombing

203
00:08:56,166 --> 00:08:58,100

the normal questions.

204

<i>"Anything unusual happened?</i>
<i>Any problem?"</i>

205

The night
when the bombing happened,

207
00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:06,967

00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:13,900
She was lavish with the people

212
00:09:13,967 --> 00:09:16,000
<i>He wasn't even supposed</i>
<i>to go to that dinner party.</i>

213
00:09:17,066 --> 00:09:18,166
<i>But she invited him.</i>

214
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:23,367
[Barrows] <i>Judy</i>
<i>had met John Gentry</i>

215
00:09:23,367 --> 00:09:26,166
<i>when he had gone out</i>
<i>to watch some mud wrestling.</i>

216
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:27,867
<i>And he sees her at the bar...</i>

217
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,467
[Barrows] <i>She starts</i>
<i>paying attention to him,</i>

218
00:09:37,467 --> 00:09:39,367
and I think he felt special.

00:09:39,467 --> 00:09:39,470
[Steele] <i>He owned</i>

<i>They started dating.</i>

00:09:48,066 --> 00:09:50,266
<i>He was smitten by her.</i>

224
00:09:50,266 --> 00:09:51,734
And from all indications,

225
00:09:51,734 --> 00:09:54,166
he fell madly in love
with her.

226
00:09:56,266 --> 00:09:57,600
[Paula] <i>I met her</i>

<i>It was Easter</i>

229
00:10:01,533 --> 00:10:05,166
And she was sweet.
She was really super nice.

230
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,800
<i>Kinda ritzy.</i>
<i>She had money.</i>

231
00:10:08,867 --> 00:10:09,470
She had money
and she wasn't afraid
to throw it around.

232
00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:11,634
She had money

[Pam Hill]
<i>We owned a party business.</i>

234
00:10:15,166 --> 00:10:18,266
We worked with a lot
of people that were of means

235
00:10:18,266 --> 00:10:19,967
and had big parties.

236
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:22,000
<i>And that's when I met Judy.</i>

237
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,634
<i>Judy was very imposing.</i>

238
00:10:23,634 --> 00:10:25,367
<i>She was tall</i>

239
00:10:25,467 --> 00:10:28,100
<i>and she always wore</i>
<i>her hair coiffed</i>

240
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:30,734
<i>like she had just had</i>
<i>someone do it,</i>

241
00:10:30,734 --> 00:10:33,266
<i>and she had</i>
<i>real high cheekbones.</i>

242
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:36,734
And she over-accentuated them
with a lot of blush

243
00:10:36,734 --> 00:10:38,867
and she always wore
false eyelashes.

244
00:10:39,634 --> 00:10:41,467
And wore Charlie,

245
00:10:41,467 --> 00:10:44,634
<i>that cologne</i>
<i>that was popular in the '80s.</i>

246
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:47,266
<i>And she really wore it.</i>

247
00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:49,266
<i>She overly wore it.</i>

248
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:51,166
Judy told people
that she was the heir

249
00:10:51,166 --> 00:10:52,734
to the Goodyear throne.

250
00:10:52,734 --> 00:10:55,266
[Paula] <i>She liked</i>
<i>the finest champagnes</i>

251

<i>and the biggest diamonds</i>
<i>and the best clothes</i>

252
00:10:57,634 --> 00:10:59,367
<i>and she had a house</i>
<i>out in Gulf Breeze</i>

253
00:10:59,467 --> 00:11:02,367
<i>which is, what we consider,</i>
<i>rich town.</i>

You know,
that's money on there.

[Sacks] <i>Together,</i>

[Mike] <i>She was always nice.</i>

263

So he had thought
he had found his soulmate,

that was a good match,

that you would color in.

268
00:11:28,533 --> 00:11:30,367
<i>And across the bottom</i>

<i>or free French fries</i>
<i>or something.</i>

271

<i>And they brought</i>

00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:05,467
<i>without lights on.</i>
<i>That time of the year</i>

335
00:14:05,467 --> 00:14:07,967
it didn't get dark till 6:30,
7:00 at night,

336
00:14:07,967 --> 00:14:09,470
almost 8:00 at night,
so he didn't have to turn
the lights on.

337
00:14:09,470 --> 00:14:11,066
almost 8:00 at night,
so he didn't have to turn
the lights on.

338
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:12,467
<i>He didn't have to turn</i>
<i>those lights on</i>

339
00:14:12,467 --> 00:14:13,900
<i>till he got back in the car.</i>

340
00:14:15,266 --> 00:14:18,266
Whoever did this
really didn't know
what they were doing.

341
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:20,367
It was not a professional job.

342
00:14:20,367 --> 00:14:24,600
<i>Where the dynamite was placed</i>
<i>wasn't in the right place.</i>

343
00:14:24,634 --> 00:14:27,367
[Richbourg]
<i>He was pretty tall,</i>
<i>so he leaned forward</i>

344
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:29,867
<i>to turn on the ignition</i>
<i>and pull the light switch.</i>

345
00:14:32,367 --> 00:14:35,967
So, a lot
of the really bad force
of the explosion

346
00:14:35,967 --> 00:14:37,734
and the fragments went up,

347
00:14:37,734 --> 00:14:39,470
<i>went out through the sunroof</i>
<i>and just missed John.</i>

348
00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:41,166
<i>went out through the sunroof</i>
<i>and just missed John.</i>

349
00:14:42,367 --> 00:14:44,100
That was a stroke of luck.

350
00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:46,100
Had the bomb
been placed better,

351
00:14:46,166 --> 00:14:47,900
it probably
would have killed him.

352
00:14:47,967 --> 00:14:50,066
[Chamberlain]
<i>If they really wanted</i>
<i>to wreck this guy,</i>

353
00:14:50,066 --> 00:14:51,467
<i>they would put it</i>
<i>underneath the seat</i>

354
00:14:51,467 --> 00:14:53,867
<i>or put it</i>
<i>right on the gas tank</i>

355
00:14:53,867 --> 00:14:55,900
<i>so the whole car</i>
<i>would have gone.</i>

356
00:14:55,967 --> 00:14:57,266
<i>That would have killed him.</i>

357
00:14:57,266 --> 00:14:59,800
So, we're not looking
at a professional hitman.

358
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:03,867
[Richbourg] <i>I lifted prints</i>
<i>on the left rear fender</i>

359
00:15:03,867 --> 00:15:06,634
<i>right at the edge</i>
<i>of the rear of the trunk</i>

360
00:15:06,634 --> 00:15:09,470
<i>and it did not overlap</i>
<i>onto the trunk itself.</i>

361
00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:09,900
<i>and it did not overlap</i>
<i>onto the trunk itself.</i>

362
00:15:09,967 --> 00:15:12,867
Which showed
that the trunk lid was open

363
00:15:12,867 --> 00:15:14,867
<i>when that print</i>
<i>was placed there,</i>

364
00:15:14,867 --> 00:15:16,734
<i>which would</i>
<i>have been perfect</i>

365
00:15:16,734 --> 00:15:19,734
<i>if you were leaning over</i>
<i>into the back of the car</i>

366
00:15:19,734 --> 00:15:22,467
<i>to do one of two things.</i>
<i>Either plant the dynamite</i>

367
00:15:22,467 --> 00:15:25,634
<i>or fix the wire</i>
<i>to the tail light, either one.</i>

368
00:15:25,634 --> 00:15:27,734
There was nothing
else anywhere

369
00:15:27,734 --> 00:15:29,367
on the exterior of the car.

370
00:15:30,467 --> 00:15:31,600
[Paula] <i>It was shock.</i>

371
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,734
Who would do that to him?
Why would they do that to him?

372
00:15:33,734 --> 00:15:35,867
<i>And what did he do?</i>

373
00:15:35,867 --> 00:15:37,634
[Chamberlain]
<i>We talked to Judy</i>

374
00:15:37,634 --> 00:15:39,467
<i>and she was giving us</i>
<i>all these tips</i>

375
00:15:39,467 --> 00:15:39,470

377
00:15:42,166 --> 00:15:43,967
and she thinks that this lady

378
00:15:43,967 --> 00:15:46,467
was the one that had something
to do with the bombing.

379
00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:49,367
[Richbourg] <i>They had had</i>
<i>some disagreements.</i>

380
00:15:49,467 --> 00:15:53,734
That was who
Judy pointed her finger at
right at the very beginning,

381
00:15:53,734 --> 00:15:56,533
<i>and then they started looking</i>
<i>at more and more things.</i>

382
00:15:56,533 --> 00:15:57,467
Something was wrong.

00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,734
[waves splashing]

384
00:16:09,734 --> 00:16:12,266
[Sacks] <i>It was late June, 1983</i>

390
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:28,634
[Steele] <i>He was</i>
<i>a very lucky individual.</i>

391

Two sticks of dynamite

<i>I believe about 200 miles</i>

According to her,
she grew up
in an abusive family.

<i>Her mom died</i>
<i>when she was young.</i>

426
00:18:01,367 --> 00:18:02,467
<i>She was about four years old.</i>

427

<i>Her dad remarried</i>
<i>to a woman</i>

<i>who had several sons</i>

431
00:18:09,266 --> 00:18:11,467
[Sacks] <i>There was, reportedly,</i>

<i>and in response</i>
<i>to some of the violence</i>

433

434
00:18:16,467 --> 00:18:18,734
she apparently attacked
her step-brothers

435
00:18:18,734 --> 00:18:21,700
with scalding grease,
burning them.

436
00:18:21,734 --> 00:18:24,100
[Barrows] <i>She got into trouble</i>
<i>for attacking her family</i>

437
00:18:24,166 --> 00:18:26,800
<i>and was put</i>
<i>into a juvenile facility.</i>

438
00:18:26,867 --> 00:18:27,867
And, in fact,
when her time was served,

439
00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:29,100
she didn't even wanna
go back home.

440
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,967
<i>She graduated high school</i>
<i>from the state facility</i>
<i>in 1959.</i>

441

<i>She was</i>
<i>a very strong personality.</i>

442
00:18:36,066 --> 00:18:37,174

443
00:18:37,174 --> 00:18:37,367
<i>A woman who was smart.</i>

444
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:39,367
She seemed like,
because of her background,

445
00:18:39,367 --> 00:18:42,734
that she perhaps
was angry, angry and hurt,

446
00:18:42,734 --> 00:18:44,066
and she hid that,

447
00:18:44,066 --> 00:18:45,266
but she was determined
to make it

448
00:18:45,367 --> 00:18:47,967
regardless of where
she'd come from.

although it's the city's
largest employer

462

00:21:11,734 --> 00:21:14,266
And the mysterious part
about the whole thing

494
00:21:14,266 --> 00:21:18,166
was he was perfectly
healthy before.

495
00:21:18,166 --> 00:21:21,000
[Sacks] <i>He had passed</i>
<i>a physical exam on the base,</i>

496
00:21:21,066 --> 00:21:22,367
<i>and that was around June,</i>

497
00:21:22,467 --> 00:21:25,634
but by September,
he started getting really ill

498
00:21:25,634 --> 00:21:28,900
<i>and no one really</i>
<i>could identify why.</i>

499
00:21:28,967 --> 00:21:30,734
[Perry] <i>He's just suffering.</i>

500
00:21:30,734 --> 00:21:33,634
He was beyond
the point of return.

501
00:21:33,634 --> 00:21:35,266
[Barrows] <i>He goes</i>
<i>to the doctor, he feels sick,</i>

502
00:21:35,266 --> 00:21:36,266
<i>and within a couple of weeks,</i>

503
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:37,174
<i>he's dead.</i>

504
00:21:37,174 --> 00:21:38,533
<i>he's dead.</i>

505
00:21:39,967 --> 00:21:43,867
[Sacks]
<i>Just after a couple of months</i>
<i>of being home, he died.</i>

506
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:47,367
He succumbed to this illness,
this mysterious illness.

507
00:21:47,367 --> 00:21:50,867
<i>Authorities ruled his death</i>
<i>due to natural causes.</i>

508
00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:54,600
[Newland-Beverly] <i>He came home</i>
<i>from Vietnam</i>
<i>having escaped death</i>

509
00:21:54,634 --> 00:21:58,266
as a soldier
and ended up dying in Orlando.

510
00:21:58,266 --> 00:22:00,367
[Chamberlain] <i>The doctors</i>
<i>didn't know what happened.</i>

511
00:22:01,634 --> 00:22:05,266
There was no suspicion
of any foul play.

512
00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:21,967
Welcome back
to <i>Very Scary People.</i>

513
00:22:21,967 --> 00:22:25,734
Judy Buenoano was a respected
Florida businesswoman.

514
00:22:25,734 --> 00:22:27,367
She lived
in an upscale home,

515
00:22:27,367 --> 00:22:30,533
had three children,
and a thriving nail salon.

516
00:22:30,533 --> 00:22:33,066
But despite all the trappings
of success,

517
00:22:33,066 --> 00:22:35,367
her life was far from idyllic.

518
00:22:35,467 --> 00:22:38,967
Terrible things
seemed to happen
to those closest to her.

519
00:22:38,967 --> 00:22:42,748
It all started in 1971
with the mysterious death
of her husband,

520
00:22:42,748 --> 00:22:43,533
It all started in 1971
with the mysterious death
of her husband,

521
00:22:43,533 --> 00:22:45,600
Air Force Sergeant,
James Goodyear.

522
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:53,100
[Steele] <i>James Goodyear</i>
<i>was in the Air Force.</i>

523
00:22:53,166 --> 00:22:55,166
He came back
from Vietnam healthy,

524
00:22:55,266 --> 00:22:56,734
and within three months,
he was dead.

525
00:22:58,266 --> 00:23:00,867
[newswoman] <i>James Goodyear</i>
<i>died in 1971.</i>

526
00:23:00,867 --> 00:23:04,266
<i>His death certificate claiming</i>

527
00:23:04,266 --> 00:23:06,900
[Steele] <i>The doctors</i>
<i>never could figure out</i>
<i>what was wrong with him</i>

528
00:23:06,967 --> 00:23:08,967
and they couldn't explain
his death.

529
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
[Newland-Beverly]
<i>Judy said her husband died</i>

530
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,748
and they think
it was of cancer,
but nobody could prove it.

531
00:23:12,748 --> 00:23:16,166
and they think
it was of cancer,
but nobody could prove it.

532
00:23:16,166 --> 00:23:18,467
[Chamberlain] <i>She blames it</i>
<i>on the Air Force,</i>

533
00:23:18,467 --> 00:23:21,533
that he died
of all those chemicals
that were over there.

534
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:23,367
[Sacks] <i>Lot of people</i>
<i>did get sick in Vietnam</i>

535
00:23:23,367 --> 00:23:25,367
due to the chemicals
they were exposed to.

536
00:23:42,734 --> 00:23:42,748
[Steele] <i>And I was</i>
<i>really surprised</i>

537
00:23:42,748 --> 00:23:44,367
[Steele] <i>And I was</i>
<i>really surprised</i>

538
00:23:44,467 --> 00:23:46,734
<i>that the Air Force</i>
<i>didn't do more</i>

539
00:23:46,734 --> 00:23:50,800
to try to determine
how James Goodyear had died.

540
00:23:52,867 --> 00:23:54,000
[Sacks] <i>Even though</i>
<i>the cause of death</i>

541
00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:55,634
<i>for James Goodyear</i>
<i>was unknown,</i>

542
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,166
Judy and her children
were entitled to collect

543
00:23:58,266 --> 00:24:00,100
his insurance
and death benefits.

544
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,166
<i>The amount was more</i>
<i>than $100,000,</i>

545
00:24:03,166 --> 00:24:04,634
<i>money that they</i>
<i>would soon need</i>

546
00:24:04,634 --> 00:24:08,700
<i>because their house</i>
<i>in Orlando caught on fire.</i>

547
00:24:08,734 --> 00:24:12,748
[Jackson] <i>Judy collected,</i>
<i>on her home insurance,</i>
<i>a reported $90,000</i>

548
00:24:12,748 --> 00:24:13,000
[Jackson] <i>Judy collected,</i>
<i>on her home insurance,</i>
<i>a reported $90,000</i>

549
00:24:13,066 --> 00:24:16,700
and then took her kids
and they went to start
a new life in Pensacola.

550
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,500
Pensacola has strong
military ties

551
00:24:26,367 --> 00:24:28,367
and a deep, deep history.

552
00:24:31,367 --> 00:24:34,266
[Barrows] <i>Pensacola</i>
<i>is the cradle</i>
<i>of naval aviation.</i>

553
00:24:34,266 --> 00:24:38,734
And the Blue Angels,
this is their home
during the winter.

554
00:24:38,734 --> 00:24:42,634
[Steele] <i>We actually had</i>
<i>an aircraft carrier here</i>
<i>that did aircraft training.</i>

555
00:24:42,634 --> 00:24:42,748
<i>Up until probably</i>
<i>20 years ago,</i>
<i>every flight student,</i>

556
00:24:42,748 --> 00:24:46,367
<i>Up until probably</i>
<i>20 years ago,</i>
<i>every flight student,</i>

557
00:24:46,367 --> 00:24:50,166
everybody that flew a plane
for the Navy
or the Marine Corps

558
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:51,500
came through Pensacola.

559
00:24:54,467 --> 00:24:58,367
Shortly after
her husband died,
Judy met Bobby Joe Morris.

560
00:24:58,367 --> 00:25:01,867
Bobby Joe Morris
was a very successful person
in Pensacola.

561
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,500
<i>Bobby met Judy</i>
<i>and fell in love with her.</i>

562
00:25:19,467 --> 00:25:22,266
Bobby Joe Morris
was originally
from the Brewton,

563
00:25:22,367 --> 00:25:23,734
<i>Alabama area.</i>

564
00:25:23,734 --> 00:25:25,533
[Chamberlain] <i>Bobby Joe</i>
<i>was a real nice guy.</i>

565
00:25:25,533 --> 00:25:28,900
He was
a construction worker,
he worked hard.

566
00:25:28,967 --> 00:25:31,533
[Barrows] <i>She</i>
<i>and Bobby Joe Morris,</i>
<i>they never did marry.</i>

567
00:25:31,533 --> 00:25:33,734
<i>They lived here in Pensacola</i>
<i>for a couple of years,</i>

568
00:25:33,734 --> 00:25:35,367
but it seemed
that the two of them

569
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:38,166
had a very volatile
relationship

570
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:42,266
and Bobby Joe Morris moved
out of state to Colorado.

571
00:25:42,367 --> 00:25:42,748
[Perry] <i>At some point,</i>
<i>Bobby, he left and went</i>
<i>to Trinidad, Colorado</i>

572
00:25:42,748 --> 00:25:46,734
[Perry] <i>At some point,</i>
<i>Bobby, he left and went</i>
<i>to Trinidad, Colorado</i>

573
00:25:46,734 --> 00:25:49,467
to run, I guess,
the utility company.

574
00:25:49,467 --> 00:25:52,100
[Sacks] <i>Now it was also</i>
<i>possibly rumored</i>

575
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:54,266
that he was thinking
this would be a way

576
00:25:54,266 --> 00:25:57,967
to get out of the relationship
with Judy was well.

577
00:25:57,967 --> 00:26:01,500
<i>But if that was his goal,</i>
<i>well, he was unsuccessful</i>

578
00:26:01,533 --> 00:26:05,367
because, unfortunately
and unbelievably,

579
00:26:05,367 --> 00:26:09,100
<i>Judy's home burned</i>
<i>in some inexplicable fire.</i>

580
00:26:10,634 --> 00:26:11,800
This is her second fire.

581
00:26:13,533 --> 00:26:15,266
-[sirens wailing]
-[Richbourg] <i>I got there</i>

582
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:18,634
<i>and the fire was contained</i>
<i>pretty much to one corner</i>

583
00:26:19,166 --> 00:26:20,166
<i>of the garage.</i>

584
00:26:20,266 --> 00:26:22,066
<i>It was attached to the house.</i>

585
00:26:22,066 --> 00:26:24,367
There were very little damage

586
00:26:24,367 --> 00:26:27,734
and it didn't look
like any smoke or anything

587
00:26:27,734 --> 00:26:31,367
had gone up
into the main house.

588
00:26:31,367 --> 00:26:35,367
<i>Now, the second-floor window</i>
<i>on the same end of the house</i>

589
00:26:35,367 --> 00:26:37,367
<i>where the garage was attached,</i>

590
00:26:37,367 --> 00:26:40,266
<i>there were two sheets</i>
<i>tied together,</i>
<i>hanging out the window</i>

591
00:26:40,367 --> 00:26:42,748
<i>like it might've been used</i>
<i>to escape the fire.</i>

592
00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:43,266
<i>like it might've been used</i>
<i>to escape the fire.</i>

593
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,533
But I saw
no evidence whatsoever

594
00:26:47,533 --> 00:26:51,867
that any fire or smoke
got to the main house.

595
00:26:51,867 --> 00:26:54,500
[Edgar] <i>The circumstances</i>
<i>were suspicious.</i>

596
00:26:54,533 --> 00:26:55,700
It doesn't make any sense.

597
00:26:56,867 --> 00:26:59,266
What she did, she collected
all the insurance money

598
00:26:59,266 --> 00:27:01,367
and was able to move her
and the kids up to Colorado.

599
00:27:03,266 --> 00:27:05,166
<i>She shows up there</i>
<i>where Bobby Joe is.</i>

600
00:27:05,734 --> 00:27:08,066
And then Bobby got sick.

601
00:27:09,634 --> 00:27:12,500
[Sacks] <i>He starts experiencing</i>
<i>all of these symptoms</i>

602
00:27:12,533 --> 00:27:12,748
that Judy's first husband
experienced.

603
00:27:12,748 --> 00:27:15,000
that Judy's first husband
experienced.

604
00:27:15,066 --> 00:27:17,367
[Chamberlain]
<i>Sick to the stomach,</i>
<i>throwing up all the time,</i>

605
00:27:17,967 --> 00:27:19,100
<i>loss of weight,</i>

606
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:20,900
<i>delirious, you'll see things.</i>

607
00:27:22,066 --> 00:27:24,467
He goes to the hospital.

608
00:27:24,467 --> 00:27:28,166
[Sacks] <i>Doctors weren't sure</i>
<i>why this was happening</i>
<i>to an overall healthy man.</i>

609
00:27:28,166 --> 00:27:30,066
[Chamberlain] <i>But Judy</i>
<i>was telling everybody</i>

610
00:27:30,066 --> 00:27:32,166
<i>that he drank a fifth of vodka</i>

611
00:27:32,166 --> 00:27:33,967
<i>and almost two cases of beer</i>
<i>a day.</i>

612
00:27:43,367 --> 00:27:46,533
So, they blamed it on him
being an alcoholic.

613
00:27:46,533 --> 00:27:50,500
<i>He's in the hospital</i>
<i>about a week or so,</i>
<i>he starts getting better.</i>

614
00:27:50,533 --> 00:27:52,900
[Sacks] <i>Bobby Joe</i>
<i>was feeling better</i>
<i>in the hospital.</i>

615
00:27:52,967 --> 00:27:54,867
<i>He was actually recuperating.</i>

616
00:27:56,367 --> 00:27:58,467
<i>But as soon as he went home</i>
<i>with Judy,</i>

617
00:27:58,467 --> 00:28:00,166
it was a different story.

618
00:28:02,467 --> 00:28:05,367
[Sacks] <i>Just two days</i>
<i>after Bobby Joe was released</i>
<i>from the hospital,</i>

619
00:28:05,367 --> 00:28:06,600
he collapsed.

620
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:10,066
<i>He was rushed to the hospital,</i>
<i>but couldn't be saved.</i>

621
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:12,748
<i>He was just 35 years old.</i>

622
00:28:12,748 --> 00:28:12,867
<i>He was just 35 years old.</i>

623
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,367
[Chamberlain] <i>After talking</i>
<i>to a couple of the doctors</i>
<i>up there,</i>

624
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:19,266
they felt
there was something wrong.

625
00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:21,266
They felt
there was something wrong
with this case.

626
00:28:34,734 --> 00:28:37,100
[Sacks] <i>It was January of 1978</i>

He comes out and he's fine.

634
00:28:52,166 --> 00:28:55,166
When he got home,
he got sicker,

635
00:28:56,266 --> 00:28:57,166
and sicker,

636
00:28:58,533 --> 00:28:59,290

639
00:29:05,467 --> 00:29:07,600
[Sacks] <i>The official</i>

<i>the body cremated.</i>

652
00:29:40,533 --> 00:29:44,634
And Bobby's mother, Ladelle,
said, "Oh, no. No, no."

653
00:29:44,634 --> 00:29:47,100
And then had him packed up,
flown to Alabama

654
00:29:47,166 --> 00:29:49,367
and buried
in the cemetery there.

655
00:29:49,367 --> 00:29:53,533
[Edgar] <i>It was difficult</i>
<i>because she tried to draw</i>
<i>so little attention</i>

656
00:29:53,533 --> 00:29:57,266
to the whole tragic episode
of his death.

657
00:29:57,367 --> 00:29:59,290
[Sacks] <i>It turned out</i>
<i>that Bobby Joe Morris</i>
<i>had life insurance policies</i>

658
00:29:59,290 --> 00:30:00,367
[Sacks] <i>It turned out</i>
<i>that Bobby Joe Morris</i>
<i>had life insurance policies</i>

659
00:30:00,467 --> 00:30:02,967
and the beneficiary
was Judy Buenoano.

660
00:30:10,533 --> 00:30:14,967
I believe she received
about a $30,000-payout
from his insurance.

661
00:30:14,967 --> 00:30:19,900
Just enough to relocate
back to Pensacola, Florida
with her children.

662
00:30:19,967 --> 00:30:22,100
<i>It was a new start</i>
<i>with a new home</i>

663
00:30:22,166 --> 00:30:24,467
<i>in a well-to-do area</i>
<i>of Pensacola.</i>

664
00:30:26,634 --> 00:30:28,600
[Barrows] <i>Judy had a house</i>
<i>in Whisper Bay,</i>

665
00:30:28,634 --> 00:30:29,290
<i>which is in a nice part</i>
<i>of northwest Florida,</i>

666
00:30:29,290 --> 00:30:31,634
<i>which is in a nice part</i>
<i>of northwest Florida,</i>

667
00:30:31,634 --> 00:30:33,467
<i>a well-to-do community.</i>

668
00:30:33,467 --> 00:30:37,000
So, on outward appearances,
she looked like she had it
all together.

669
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,800
<i>Always talking about</i>
<i>how important she was.</i>

670
00:30:39,867 --> 00:30:42,000
<i>She carried herself</i>
<i>like a queen.</i>

671
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,266
<i>She carried herself</i>
<i>like she was someone</i>

672
00:30:44,367 --> 00:30:46,367
and presented herself
as someone.

673
00:30:46,367 --> 00:30:48,166
<i>But there was something wrong.</i>

674
00:30:50,166 --> 00:30:53,367
I'd gone up to her house
many times, in Whisper Bay,

675
00:30:53,467 --> 00:30:55,100
to set up for parties.

676
00:30:55,166 --> 00:30:57,500
<i>And I had gone in her home</i>
<i>many times.</i>

677
00:30:57,533 --> 00:30:59,290
<i>And when I'd gone in,</i>
<i>I would see Michael sitting</i>
<i>over by the fireplace.</i>

678
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:02,867
<i>And when I'd gone in,</i>
<i>I would see Michael sitting</i>
<i>over by the fireplace.</i>

679
00:31:02,867 --> 00:31:06,100
<i>He's unimposing,</i>
<i>just sitting over there.</i>

680
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:10,467
Michael Goodyear was a child
that was born out of wedlock.

681
00:31:10,467 --> 00:31:12,266
[Barrows] <i>This was</i>
<i>her firstborn.</i>

682
00:31:12,367 --> 00:31:14,367
<i>By all accounts,</i>
<i>he was very nice.</i>

683
00:31:14,467 --> 00:31:18,066
He was loving, he maintained
a sweet spirit about him.

684
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:23,533
But Michael was never
her favorite.

685
00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:25,967
She did not like that child.

686
00:31:29,467 --> 00:31:34,000
And I bet that was a source
of shame for Judy,
who valued appearances.

687
00:31:34,066 --> 00:31:38,800
Michael, all his life,
she would tell people
that's her step-son.

688
00:31:38,867 --> 00:31:41,266
[Hill] <i>He wasn't</i>
<i>physically strong.</i>

689
00:31:41,367 --> 00:31:45,066
Emotionally,
he was not advanced

690
00:31:45,066 --> 00:31:48,500
or even at the level
of his chronological age.

691
00:31:48,533 --> 00:31:51,867
[Barrows] <i>Apparently,</i>
<i>he had low IQ,</i>
<i>he was disruptive in school.</i>

692
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:54,166
He wasn't good
as her other kids.

693
00:31:54,166 --> 00:31:57,367
He wasn't perfect
and he wasn't bright.

694
00:31:57,367 --> 00:31:59,290
<i>And I believe that Judy</i>
<i>resented that.</i>

695
00:31:59,290 --> 00:31:59,800
<i>And I believe that Judy</i>
<i>resented that.</i>

696
00:31:59,867 --> 00:32:01,266
Michael seemed to be
in the way.

697
00:32:02,967 --> 00:32:04,066
[Sacks] <i>For much</i>
<i>of his childhood,</i>

698
00:32:04,066 --> 00:32:05,800
<i>Michael was sent away</i>
<i>to school.</i>

699
00:32:05,867 --> 00:32:08,000
<i>For what Judy said</i>
<i>was to deal</i>

700
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,166
with the emotional issues
that he had
and his learning disabilities.

701
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:14,000
<i>But even when Michael</i>
<i>was home, reports were that</i>

702
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,467
<i>he wasn't really treated</i>
<i>as part of the family.</i>

703
00:32:16,467 --> 00:32:19,266
[Chamberlain] <i>When they lived</i>
<i>in Colorado,</i>
<i>Michael lived in a cellar.</i>

704
00:32:19,367 --> 00:32:21,000
<i>He lived down there.</i>

705
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,100
<i>Gulf Breeze,</i>
<i>when they came back here.</i>

706
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:26,467
<i>If she had a party</i>
<i>or something like that,</i>
<i>Michael would be gone.</i>

707
00:32:26,467 --> 00:32:28,266
Michael was never seen
by anybody.

708
00:32:29,634 --> 00:32:33,266
She was basically ashamed
of him.

709
00:32:33,266 --> 00:32:35,467
[Hill] <i>She never</i>
<i>introduced me to him.</i>

710
00:32:35,467 --> 00:32:37,367
Didn't even reference him.

711
00:32:37,367 --> 00:32:39,266
<i>I'm a pretty outgoing person,</i>
<i>so I went up to him</i>

712
00:32:39,266 --> 00:32:41,266
<i>and I was like, "Hi, I'm Pam."</i>

713
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:43,967
<i>And he would just,</i>
<i>kind of, smile.</i>

714
00:32:43,967 --> 00:32:46,634
<i>But she wouldn't</i>
<i>have even acknowledged</i>
<i>he was there</i>

715
00:32:46,634 --> 00:32:48,734
<i>if I hadn't said something.</i>

716
00:32:48,734 --> 00:32:50,467
He was considered
an embarrassment to her.

717
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:55,734
[Perry] <i>Michael</i>
<i>was not as smart</i>
<i>as the other kids,</i>

718
00:32:55,734 --> 00:32:59,290
<i>but he was smart enough</i>
<i>to enter the military.</i>

719
00:32:59,290 --> 00:33:00,600
<i>but he was smart enough</i>
<i>to enter the military.</i>

720
00:33:00,634 --> 00:33:02,700
[Sacks] <i>Michael chose</i>
<i>to enlist in the service,</i>

721
00:33:02,734 --> 00:33:07,467
which was probably
a nod to his father,
to James Goodyear.

722
00:33:07,467 --> 00:33:10,800
<i>It was probably to honor him</i>
<i>and to follow</i>
<i>in his footsteps.</i>

723
00:33:10,867 --> 00:33:14,000
And maybe even, he thought,
that would make
his mother proud.

724
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,166
[Chamberlain] <i>Michael,</i>
<i>he gets into the Army,</i>

725
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:17,867
<i>he gets out</i>
<i>of the basic training</i>

726
00:33:17,867 --> 00:33:20,500
and he goes home
for two weeks

727
00:33:20,533 --> 00:33:23,367
<i>and of the sudden,</i>
<i>he starts getting real sick.</i>

728
00:33:23,367 --> 00:33:25,533
<i>Next thing you know,</i>
<i>he's in the hospital</i>

729
00:33:25,533 --> 00:33:27,166
<i>and he's in real tough shape.</i>

730
00:33:28,533 --> 00:33:29,290
[Sacks] <i>His symptoms,</i>
<i>at first,</i>
<i>mimicked the symptoms</i>

731
00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:31,634
[Sacks] <i>His symptoms,</i>
<i>at first,</i>
<i>mimicked the symptoms</i>

732
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:33,700
<i>of the other men</i>
<i>in Judy's life.</i>

733
00:33:33,734 --> 00:33:37,533
<i>He's experiencing</i>
<i>the nausea, the headaches,</i>
<i>the vomiting.</i>

734
00:33:37,533 --> 00:33:39,066
And nobody
could understand why.

735
00:33:39,066 --> 00:33:42,000
But unfortunately for Michael,
his symptoms got much worse.

736
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,600
He got medical care
in the military

737
00:33:44,634 --> 00:33:48,634
that determined
he was poisoned by arsenic.

738
00:33:48,634 --> 00:33:51,500
Arsenic affects
many different areas
in the body.

739
00:33:52,166 --> 00:33:53,266
[Dr. Holstege reading]

740
00:33:56,266 --> 00:33:57,800

<i>may start to go off.</i>

744
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,700
It can cause weakness

745
00:34:08,734 --> 00:34:10,467
to the point
where I may become paralyzed.

746
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,367
They did determine
he was suffering
from arsenic poisoning.

747
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,066
<i>This might have raised</i>
<i>red flags,</i>

748
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:24,266
<i>but Michael had been working</i>
<i>in a water-purification lab</i>

749
00:34:24,266 --> 00:34:29,290
and he would've been exposed
to arsenic.

and he would've been exposed
to arsenic.

<i>because of Bobby Joe Morris.</i>

754
00:34:40,066 --> 00:34:44,533
Bobby Joe Morris
also worked
in a water purification lab

755
00:34:44,533 --> 00:34:48,000
<i>and both of them were exposed</i>
<i>to these elements.</i>

756
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:51,533
It was just happening
in the course of their work.

757
00:34:51,533 --> 00:34:53,734
[Chamberlain]
<i>It was considered then</i>
<i>maybe an accident.</i>

758
00:34:53,734 --> 00:34:59,290
And they had no reason
to suspect anything
other than the bad luck.

759
00:34:59,290 --> 00:34:59,500
And they had no reason
to suspect anything
other than the bad luck.

760
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,967
[Barrows] <i>Michael Goodyear,</i>
<i>just breaks my heart.</i>

761
00:35:15,967 --> 00:35:18,500
<i>He tried to make his own life</i>

762
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:20,533
And then pretty quickly
into his service,

763
00:35:20,533 --> 00:35:23,066
he started having
these health problems.

776

Okay, well, who'd benefit
from your death?

807
00:37:21,367 --> 00:37:24,867
<i>And he said, "Well,</i>
<i>my mother would get</i>
<i>some of the business."</i>

808
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:26,100
<i>Okay.</i>

809
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:30,266
<i>"And then Judy.</i>
<i>We have a policy out,</i>
<i>insurance policy."</i>

810
00:37:31,166 --> 00:37:33,166
<i>And I said,</i>
<i>"How much are you looking at?"</i>

811
00:37:33,266 --> 00:37:35,867
She had gotten a $500,000
insurance policy on him.

812
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:37,563
<i>We asked</i>
<i>about their relationship</i>

813
00:37:37,563 --> 00:37:38,634
<i>We asked</i>
<i>about their relationship</i>

814
00:37:38,634 --> 00:37:40,266
<i>and how they were going,</i>
<i>and he said,</i>

815
00:37:40,367 --> 00:37:42,266
"We seem to be going fine."

816
00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:44,166
<i>And they asked</i>
<i>if there's any problems,</i>
<i>he said,</i>

817
00:37:44,166 --> 00:37:47,000
<i>well, he had been having</i>
<i>some health problems</i>

818
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,634
<i>and she convinced him</i>
<i>that he needed to take</i>
<i>some vitamins to be better.</i>

819
00:37:51,634 --> 00:37:54,266
<i>She had told him</i>
<i>that she was a medical doctor,</i>

820
00:37:54,367 --> 00:37:56,100
<i>but she decided</i>
<i>to step out of it</i>

821
00:37:56,166 --> 00:38:00,066
<i>and open</i>
<i>this Fingers 'N Faces</i>
<i>nail salon</i>

822
00:38:00,066 --> 00:38:02,800
and she was just kind of
taking a break
from being a doctor.

823
00:38:02,867 --> 00:38:05,634
<i>So, she starts</i>
<i>giving him these pills</i>
<i>a couple of times a day.</i>

824
00:38:07,166 --> 00:38:07,563
<i>After a couple of days,</i>
<i>it made him really sick.</i>

825
00:38:07,563 --> 00:38:09,800
<i>After a couple of days,</i>
<i>it made him really sick.</i>

826
00:38:09,867 --> 00:38:12,000
And he got so sick
that he had to go
to the hospital.

827
00:38:13,634 --> 00:38:16,266
<i>He said, "While he was in</i>
<i>the hospital," he got better</i>

828
00:38:16,367 --> 00:38:19,533
and the doctors
never could figure out
what was wrong with him.

829
00:38:19,533 --> 00:38:24,800
<i>He got out and she insisted</i>
<i>he start taking</i>
<i>these pills again.</i>

830
00:38:24,867 --> 00:38:27,266
So, he did and he started
getting sick again.

831
00:38:28,367 --> 00:38:30,734
Well, we knew
something was wrong
right there.

832
00:38:30,734 --> 00:38:35,066
[Sacks] <i>The police</i>
<i>are now taking a closer look</i>
<i>into Judy.</i>

833
00:38:35,066 --> 00:38:37,266
[Chamberlain]
<i>That's when I wanted</i>
<i>to dig into her background.</i>

834
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,734
Something was wrong.

835
00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:41,634
I'm just wondering,
"What's going on
with this woman?"

836
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,100
[Barrows] <i>As they start</i>
<i>digging into all</i>
<i>the unusual circumstances</i>

837
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:50,367
and trying to figure out
who would want to do this
to John Gentry,

838
00:38:50,367 --> 00:38:53,166
<i>all roads slowly kept leading</i>
<i>back to Judy.</i>

839
00:38:53,266 --> 00:38:57,000
<i>One person after the other</i>
<i>had something terrible</i>
<i>happen to them.</i>

840
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,367
<i>Her son Michael was paralyzed.</i>

841
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:03,166
<i>Her previous lover</i>
<i>Bobby Joe Morris</i>
<i>died in Colorado.</i>

842
00:39:03,266 --> 00:39:05,734
<i>Oh, and by the way,</i>
<i>her first husband also died.</i>

843
00:39:07,266 --> 00:39:07,563
<i>And Judy's the woman</i>
<i>standing there, grieving,</i>

844
00:39:07,563 --> 00:39:10,000
<i>And Judy's the woman</i>
<i>standing there, grieving,</i>

845
00:39:10,066 --> 00:39:12,634
but also
financially benefiting.

846
00:39:12,634 --> 00:39:14,367
[Newland-Beverly]
<i>"This poor woman,</i>

847
00:39:14,367 --> 00:39:16,734
<i>what tragedy</i>
<i>she's gone through."</i>

848
00:39:16,734 --> 00:39:20,000
<i>But it does take</i>
<i>the police mind to say,</i>

849
00:39:20,066 --> 00:39:24,367
"Nah, coincidences
don't work like that."

850
00:39:24,367 --> 00:39:28,100
Even though doctors,
hospitals, clinics at the time

851
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:29,367
thought it was something else,

852
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,266
what these men have presented,

853
00:39:31,367 --> 00:39:33,467
<i>what her son presented,</i>

854
00:39:33,467 --> 00:39:37,500
<i>what her fiance presented,</i>
<i>what her husband presented,</i>

855
00:39:37,533 --> 00:39:37,563
the indications were
that they were poisoned.

856
00:39:37,563 --> 00:39:41,800
the indications were
that they were poisoned.

857
00:39:41,867 --> 00:39:44,367
[Sacks] <i>If you're</i>
<i>not looking for poison,</i>
<i>it's not obvious.</i>

858
00:39:44,367 --> 00:39:48,367
So, you do have to
actively go and look for it.

859
00:39:48,367 --> 00:39:52,867
<i>Maybe she was the one</i>
<i>that was behind it all,</i>
<i>to begin with.</i>

860
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:55,467
[Barrows] <i>I think</i>
<i>that's when John Gentry,</i>
<i>according to police,</i>

861
00:39:55,467 --> 00:39:56,867
<i>started to say, "Oh, my gosh."</i>

862
00:39:57,634 --> 00:40:00,634
It was just
the ultimate betrayal.

863
00:40:00,634 --> 00:40:04,266
<i>He has found his dream woman</i>
<i>and they're gonna build</i>
<i>this life together.</i>

864
00:40:04,367 --> 00:40:06,000
<i>And the woman</i>
<i>that he was making</i>
<i>all these plans with</i>

865
00:40:06,066 --> 00:40:07,467
<i>had plans of her own.</i>

866
00:40:07,467 --> 00:40:07,563
And they included him
being in the ground.

867
00:40:07,563 --> 00:40:09,166
And they included him
being in the ground.

868
00:40:10,634 --> 00:40:12,100
[Paula] <i>She was Aunt Judy.</i>

869
00:40:12,266 --> 00:40:15,600
Everything shifted from,
you know, "There's no way
she could've done this"

870
00:40:15,634 --> 00:40:16,900
to "You bitch."

871
00:40:21,066 --> 00:40:23,266
No one saw
what was happening.

872
00:40:24,734 --> 00:40:27,166
There was, like,
a trail of death that seemed
to follow her.

873
00:40:28,367 --> 00:40:29,700
[man 1] <i>There was a body</i>
<i>in the river.</i>

874
00:40:29,734 --> 00:40:33,967
I was thinking,
"It's a tragedy,"
but I had questions.

875
00:40:33,967 --> 00:40:35,900
[Perry] <i>She was like a cold.</i>

876
00:40:36,533 --> 00:40:37,563
Quiet, quick, but deadly.

877
00:40:37,563 --> 00:40:40,500
Quiet, quick, but deadly.

878
00:40:40,533 --> 00:40:43,166
[Barrows] <i>She drove</i>
<i>a nice car,</i>
<i>she had nice clothes.</i>

879
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:45,634
The successful,
attractive businesswoman.

880
00:40:45,634 --> 00:40:47,700
She was very calculating.

881
00:40:47,734 --> 00:40:50,634
[Newland-Beverly]
<i>Judy was smart,</i>
<i>she was brazen.</i>

882
00:40:50,634 --> 00:40:53,166
She was certainly cunning.

883
00:40:53,266 --> 00:40:57,166
I found out real fast
everything was
for her benefit.

884
00:40:57,867 --> 00:40:59,800
For Judy, crime paid.

885
00:41:01,166 --> 00:41:03,367
[Perry] <i>There was one</i>
<i>consistent pattern.</i>

886
00:41:03,367 --> 00:41:04,734
<i>Life insurance money,</i>

887
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:06,166
<i>Cadillac,</i>

888
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,563
<i>vacation.</i>

889
00:41:07,563 --> 00:41:07,967
<i>vacation.</i>

890
00:41:07,967 --> 00:41:10,100
<i>And then when the money</i>
<i>got low,</i>

891
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,100
another victim.

892
00:41:12,266 --> 00:41:14,634
It didn't matter
who you were.

893
00:41:14,634 --> 00:41:17,166
If she wanted you dead,
she was gonna get you.

894
00:41:17,166 --> 00:41:18,600
And that's just chilling.

895
00:41:19,367 --> 00:41:20,967
[man 2] <i>It's just so evil.</i>

896
00:41:20,967 --> 00:41:24,533
And the bottom line
of all of it,
it seemed, was money.

897
00:41:29,533 --> 00:41:32,100
Investigators suspected
that Judy Buenoano

898
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,367
was behind
the attempted murder
of her fiance John Gentry

899
00:41:35,467 --> 00:41:37,563
and other possible tragedies
that seemed to follow
in her path.

900
00:41:37,563 --> 00:41:39,166
and other possible tragedies
that seemed to follow
in her path.

901
00:41:39,166 --> 00:41:41,500
But believing something
is one thing,

902
00:41:41,533 --> 00:41:43,533
proving it is another.

903
00:41:43,533 --> 00:41:46,066
Could this businesswoman/
mom of three

904
00:41:46,066 --> 00:41:47,900
be a cold, calculating killer?

905
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:51,367
In part two
of <i>The Black Widow.</i>

906
00:41:51,367 --> 00:41:54,266
I'm Donnie Wahlberg,
thanks for watching.
Good night.
