HENRY: There was a young, white female
laying across the bed sideways.
It's a brutal, brutal death.
Danielle Jennings is the most tragically
innocent homicide case that I ever handled.
COLETTA: She was engaged to the love of her life.
They had some pretty spirited arguments from time to time.
He had violated that restraining order
several times.
This is gateway behavior to something more sinister.
KEETON: He decided to eliminate this young woman as a witness.
HENRY: That's when the lights and bells went off.
KEETON: We've got the right guy...
but knowing and proving it are two different things.
NARRATOR: Every day in North America, dozens of people are murdered.
The key to solving the toughest of these homicides
lies in the final 24 hours of the victim's life.
To crack the case,
detectives must reconstruct that critical timeline.
The minutes and hours containing evidence that can
help unlock the mystery and catch the killer.
NARRATOR: Just 20 miles northeast of Atlanta,
Norcross, Georgia is the largest town
in sleepy Gwinnett County.
Back in the day, Norcross was a summer destination
for people who lived in Atlanta trying to escape the heat.
Nowadays, it's more of a commuter suburb
for people who work in Atlanta.
COLETTA: It's picturesque,
it's quaint, it's got lovely historical buildings --
it's a great little town.
NARRATOR: But on the Ides of March, near the turn of the millennium,
this great little town becomes tragic for one family.
KEETON: Just before five o'clock on March 15th...
...Gwinnett County 9-1-1 dispatch receives an urgent
telephone call.
The caller, through his frantic pleading to the dispatcher,
says, "Something's wrong with my wife.
"I tried to wake her up, and I turned her over, but she's dead.
Somebody has strangled her to death."
[police sirens wailing]
NARRATOR: Police units raced to One Ashley Lakes Drive.
[police sirens wailing]
KEETON: Getting an urgent call about an apparent homicide
from this apartment complex is a little surprising.
It's not the kind of place that has
a reputation for that kind of violence.
HENRY: Upon arriving at the scene,
they met the victim's fiance, Lenny.
Her fiance also lived in the apartment with her.
Laying across the bed sideways, there was a young, white female,
and she had a ligature tied around her neck
extremely tight.
KEETON: The bedclothes underneath where she
is lying are rumpled and disturbed.
It's apparent that there was a struggle prior to her death.
Our deceased is identified as 20-year-old Danielle Jennings,
the single mother of a two-year-old son.
HENRY: The Gwinnett County Police immediately called for
the homicide unit to respond to investigate.
NARRATOR: Veteran homicide detective, Dave Henry
is assigned to the case.
HENRY: Danielle Jennings does not appear
to have been sexually assaulted,
and you look at her closer and she has a pantyhose
or nylon stocking so tight around her neck
that you couldn't get a finger underneath the ligature
and the skin of her neck.
I could see no apparent defensive wounds on her hands
or wrist.
There didn't appear to be any marks or abrasions
on her face or up around her neck area
other than the ligature.
There's no indication that she snatched at
or clawed at her attacker.
She had no chance to employ her hands
or to attack her attacker.
HENRY: That means that the perpetrator was on her
back physically holding her down
as he strangled her with the pantyhose.
Our victim has emitted some blood which is sampled
and saved to see what may be proven by it.
Besides the victim's own intact hair,
there is also some loose hair, which is collected
for the same reason.
I looked around the room to see if
any type of burglary or possibly theft had occurred.
The top drawer of her dresser was open, which was
the drawer that had her socks and undergarments in it.
KEETON: It looks like somebody has attempted to ransack it.
And of note, neither in that drawer
or anywhere in the bedroom,
was the stocking matching or similar to the one that had
been used to strangle her.
NARRATOR: Investigators also find signs of a struggle
in the living and dining room.
HENRY: A purse had been dumped out onto the floor as
if somebody had gone through the purse looking for money
or jewelry.
The sofa was out of place maybe a foot or two --
that could have happened when he took control of her.
Looked at the door jamb to see if there were any type
of tool marks or foot marks or any damage to the door jamb.
There was no apparent damages to that.
KEETON: We are assuming that her attacker either had
access to let himself in, or he was let in.
NARRATOR: Based on the evidence, investigators form
a theory of what may have happened.
KEETON: Her attacker came in the front door
and was already in the midst of burglarizing.
COLETTA: Danielle came into the apartment,
and she was caught off guard in the living room.
KEETON: Based on the apparent suddenness of the attack
and the victim's belongings being scattered
in the apartment,
this was a burglar interrupted in the act
who decided to eliminate this young woman as a witness.
The killer dragged Danielle into the bedroom
and strangled her from behind with a knee-high stocking.
To picture Danielle's last moments, clawing at her neck,
fighting to stay alive --
it's a brutal, brutal death.
KEETON: Danielle Jennings is the most tragically innocent
homicide victim whose case I ever handled.
She had her whole life in front of her.
She was young and a single mother, and she just
wandered accidentally,
through no fault of her own, into the end of her life.
NARRATOR: To find Danielle Jennings killer, detectives will need
to reconstruct the last 24 hours of her life.
They start with her fiance, Lenny
to find out what he might know.
KEETON: The last time Lenny and Danielle spoke would have been late
the morning she was killed,
around 11.
He called her at work, and on the phone
Lenny learned that Danielle planned to go home for lunch
at about 11:30.
Lenny's 9-1-1 call to us occurred at about 4:45 p.m.
We can develop the timeline
between the last time that she was seen alive
to when she was found deceased.
So we had a time frame of 11:30 a.m.
to 4:45 p.m.
KEETON: Our first step in confirming that tentative
timeline is to call Danielle's place of business.
Her supervisor confirms that she did in fact
leave the office at 11:30 and never returned.
NARRATOR: Since Lenny is the last person to speak
to Danielle and the first to report her murder,
investigators take a closer look at the fiance.
Lenny is going to be a person of interest.
STOCKDALE: One in five murders is perpetrated
by somebody's intimate or domestic partner.
The majority of the perpetrators tend to
be male, and the victim is female --
so Lenny statistically is a suspect.
NARRATOR: Investigators ask Lenny for more
background on his relationship with Danielle.
KEETON: Lenny is understandably very upset.
He tells us that he's known Danielle since
childhood and has always been fond of her.
Now, he was going to be her partner
and a father to her son.
NARRATOR: But when detectives talked to others that were close
to Danielle,
police learned that Lenny has a dark side.
Police speak with Laura, Danielle's best friend,
who tells them that Lenny has a very fiery temper.
Danielle was a very attractive woman
and Lenny was a jealous person.
They had some pretty spirited arguments from time to time.
STOCKDALE: When it's learned that there's are some hot and cold,
kind of feisty arguments as part of this
couple's relationship,
the question is, how much aggression does Lenny have,
and could this aggression be directed
towards the victim in this case?
So now police have to take a hard look at Lenny.
He has access to the apartment,
and he is the one who discovered her body.
And it is not unusual for a killer to call 9-1-1
and report a body to try to throw police off their trail.
NARRATOR: Less than 24 hours after the murder
of 20-year-old mother, Danielle Jennings,
her best friend tells police that Danielle had
a history of conflict with her fiance, Lenny.
With all the screaming and yelling
that went on at the apartment,
could Lenny have killed Danielle,
and then called 9-1-1 to cover his tracks?
NARRATOR: Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia, want to hear
how Lenny answers that question in person.
We wanted to find out more about his relationship
with Danielle.
NARRATOR: Lenny admits to detectives that
he and Danielle had heated arguments.
COLETTA: Life was not all smooth sailing for Lenny and Danielle.
Their credit card was almost maxed out,
and they had financial problems.
And money problems in a relationship,
especially where there's a little one involved, can lead
to arguments that escalate out of control and turn violent.
We come straight out and ask him, "Lenny,
did you have anything to do with the death of Danielle?"
And he replied, "No."
COLETTA: Lenny said he loved Danielle, and there
is no way he would have ever harmed Danielle.
HENRY: We ran a criminal history on Lenny,
he had absolutely no criminal history.
He's never had any domestic quarrels where
the police had to be called to his home.
But that doesn't mean that he's
not capable of doing something like this.
So we have to get his timeline,
and then we'll go back and corroborate that statement.
Lenny tells the police that on the morning of the murder,
March 15th,
he and Danielle leave the house at about 6:45 a.m.
Danielle dropped her son, Tom, off at daycare
at about 7:30.
He said that around 11:00 or so, Danielle had called him.
She wanted to go to lunch with him, and Lenny told her that he
wouldn't be able to break away for lunch right now.
Later on, he got a call from Danielle's supervisor
because Danielle did not return to work from lunch.
HUNSICKER: Lenny got concerned and tried repeatedly to call her at home,
but without success.
He left many messages on their home answering machine.
HENRY: So then he left work and drove home
and got there at about 4:45.
The front door was unlocked, which was uncommon.
He went inside and found her laying on the bed,
and then he called 9-1-1.
NARRATOR: Now detectives need to confirm Lenny's times
and whereabouts.
HUNSICKER: Lenny says he was at work from 11:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m.,
and his colleagues can confirm it.
HENRY: And also, we located a answering machine
for the home phone, and there were
several calls from Lenny until the time that he arrived
at around 4:45.
And so, with that timeframe that he's accounted for,
he was eliminated as a suspect.
NARRATOR: No longer a suspect,
Lenny becomes an ally.
The stocking that was used to kill Danielle,
no mate is apparent within the apartment.
Lenny says that no stocking was in
the apartment at all, that Danielle did not wear them.
This tells us that this burglar came prepared
and had a potential murder weapon with him,
if he needed it.
So police ask Lenny who he might
know that would want to hurt Danielle.
Lenny says that Danielle had recently filed
a sexual-harassment complaint against a coworker
named Jordan.
Jordan had been hanging around Danielle's desk
and made inappropriate comments
that made Danielle uncomfortable.
KEETON: At one point,
he even showed her a couple of DVDs that had
salacious or suggestive content.
They had explicit sex scenes in them.
Jordan told her that one of
the people in the video reminded him of her.
HUNSICKER: So Danielle complained about him to
both her supervisor and the manager.
KEETON: Almost immediately, management meets with Jordan
and cautions him to remain professional.
Jordan reacts badly, seeming to be insulted by the reprimand.
HENRY: And so, they scheduled another meeting
between upper management and Danielle
and Jordan about her complaint.
That meeting would take place somewhere around 4:00
in the afternoon
that day that she was killed.
As soon as you factor in what's known as a
courtship disorder --
somebody with a very distorted sense
of how you pursue someone romantically.
This is often a gateway behavior to something more sinister,
and naturally,
police would have to look long and hard at this guy.
HENRY: Knowing they had a meeting set, Jordan may have left shortly
after Danielle did and followed her home,
and knocks on the door,
enters the house, so that he can discuss in private what's
going to happen at this meeting,
and he ended up getting angry and snapped and killed Danielle.
I wanted to locate Jordan immediately and question him.
When police track Jordan down, he's evasive, he's nervous,
it looks like he's hiding something.
HENRY: He admitted that he had done everything
that Danielle had accused him of doing.
He agreed that he had given her the DVDs and made
statements to her,
but he had not seen anything wrong with what he had done.
NARRATOR: Investigators asked Jordan for his
whereabouts after Danielle left the office.
HENRY: Jordan gave the alibi that between 11:00 and 4 p.m.,
he was with a coworker in that coworker's
truck the entire time until they got back to the office.
NARRATOR: Now, the question for investigators is,
can Jordan prove he's not lying?
HENRY: Jordan's coworker alibied him,
so that eliminated Jordan as a person of interest.
Having eliminated both Lenny and Jordan,
our next step was to get together with anyone
and everyone closest to Danielle to try to develop
other leads.
People she had been with, anybody
that we could pursue as a suspect.
HENRY: A good friend of Danielle's brought up an old boyfriend
that Danielle had by the name of Chuck.
NARRATOR: Chuck McFadden is a 28-year-old tow truck driver
who Danielle had dated for two years.
HENRY: She said that he seemed like he was
a really nice guy when she first met him,
but then once they got to dating after a little bit,
he wanted to know where she was at every minute of the day,
and who she was with.
He became very jealous of her, very controlling.
NARRATOR: Danielle tired of his behavior and broke it off,
but that only made matters worse.
COLETTA: Chuck was furious when Danielle left him --
he had threatened to kill her.
This forced her to get a restraining order
against him, and that only angered him more.
HENRY: He had violated that restraining order several times
by driving up and down the street that she lived on,
he would call her home, he would leave messages on her
answering machine.
Those were things that he was not supposed to be doing,
according to the restraining order.
COLETTA: Chuck had prior problems with the law.
He had been arrested for burglary and robbery,
and the scene did really
indicate that Danielle interrupted a burglary
gone wrong.
NARRATOR: Detectives now believe Danielle's ex made good
on his threat to end her life.
NARRATOR: The day after 20-year- old mother, Danielle Jennings,
is found strangled to death in her Georgia apartment,
Gwinnett County detectives discover that she was being
stalked by her ex-boyfriend,
tow truck driver, Chuck McFadden.
Chuck did not take seriously the force of
the restraining order,
and actually increased his attempts to contact Danielle.
Chuck would not take no for an answer and became
an unwelcome presence in her life,
following her around and threatening to harm her.
Chuck is on the radar because he has many
risk factors that are associated with
an intimate-partner homicide,
even if relationship has ended.
He's jealous,
he's engaging in stalking behavior, which shows a level of
controlling fixation.
This idea of sexual proprietary-ness --
this is a known risk factor for escalation and violence.
NARRATOR: When police contact Chuck McFadden,
he seems eager to talk about Danielle.
Chuck stated that when he met Danielle,
she was kind of down and out on her luck.
Danielle was pregnant, although Chuck was
not the father of the child.
HENRY: But he helped her get back on her feet,
helped her get a job so that she could start taking care
of her son.
Chuck recalls a mostly positive two-year relationship,
but according to Chuck, he and Danielle broke up
a few months after her son was born.
Chuck says he has not spoken to Danielle since,
but just talking about Danielle gets him angrier
and angrier.
At this point, Chuck's belligerent and hostile.
HENRY: That sets off an alarm.
Chuck did have a bad feeling towards Danielle because she
was not with him anymore, and she was with somebody else.
We had to consider the possibility that he
become aware of Lenny being her new man
and deciding that if he couldn't have her, no one would.
NARRATOR: As Chuck gets more heated, detectives only encourage it.
One strategy to counteract anger is to
show that you're validating a person's emotions.
Investigators may want to hear about his anger --
why he's escalated,
what's driving that, because it may help them
so they can get the information that they need.
What are the reasons for him to be angry,
and are they related potentially to this homicide?
NARRATOR: The strategy works.
Chuck opens up about Danielle even more.
He felt that after she got back on her feet, that she used
him for that.
She was not treating him
the way that he felt that she should have been
treating him for all of the hard work he had put in.
After speaking with him to try and get him
to calm down a little bit and talk more,
I move over into his alibi of where he may have been.
As tow truck driver,
he does a lot of business outside the state
for the company that he works for.
Chuck gave me an alibi that he was out of state on the day
that she was killed, and that the company had receipts for
the entire trip.
NARRATOR: Detectives reach out to Chuck's employer
to confirm his story.
Chuck's boss verified his alibi over the phone,
and then also sent us copies
of his receipts, which showed that he was out of town
in another state at the time that Danielle was killed.
And so, we were able to eliminate Chuck
as a person of interest.
So at this point, the case is at a standstill,
as far as viable suspects are concerned.
NARRATOR: Undaunted, investigators take a different tack.
KEETON: Instead of looking at specific people,
we decided to look at the apartment complex itself
and the context of what had happened,
to see if that would help.
NARRATOR: As officers canvass the buildings,
word spreads that police are looking for new leads.
KEETON: Unexpectedly, we receive a phone call
from another resident in Danielle's apartment complex.
HENRY: She was home one morning
[knocking noises]
and had a knock on the door, and when she went to the door,
there was nobody there.
She was walking back to the bedroom, and then all of
a sudden her front door opened
and a man walked into the apartment.
She was kind of taken back by it, and he identified himself
as one of the maintenance workers there
to work on a work order that she had called in.
While he was doing the repair work,
he would continually look over at her.
She said that that made her feel really uncomfortable
with the way that he was looking at her.
Later on that day, I received another phone call from another
lady in the complex
with just about the same story as the first
lady had, with the exception that
the lady said, "I never called in a work order."
He just walked in and says, "I'm here to fix your lights."
NARRATOR: The women's statements set police in motion.
KEETON: We returned to the complex to see if any other residents had
had those same kinds
of disturbing experiences, and it turned out that's exactly
what had been happening at the complex
over the previous several months.
HENRY: We discovered there had been several burglaries
from apartments where there had been
no forced entry, and one individual,
her checkbook was missing,
and some of her checks had been cashed.
NARRATOR: Police now consider the question,
is it possible just one man committed all those break-ins,
then targeted Danielle's place
and suddenly the crime escalated to murder?
HENRY: We ran criminal histories on all of the maintenance people
on the complex, and we came up with one person that had
a criminal history.
We obtained a picture of that guy.
We went back to the first two ladies that had called in,
and we showed them the photo line up, and both
of them identified the same person in the photo lineup.
NARRATOR: The women confirm the maintenance man who entered
their homes is 42-year-old Calvin Oliver.
HENRY: He's been convicted of burglary.
He's been convicted of robbery.
He's been convicted of rape.
He also has an outstanding warrant
for failing to appear in court.
The lights just get brighter and brighter on Calvin Oliver.
So Calvin somehow despite his background, ends up as
a maintenance man at this apartment complex.
He's put into a position of significant trust.
This is somebody with a history of sex assault
and burglary where he's given keys
to all the units.
And then, he begins making unannounced entry into,
consistently, the apartments of young women,
often under the pretext of
he's there to fix something.
This, to investigators,
has to be a multiplicity of red flags.
HUNSICKER: They, of course, run Calvin Oliver's fingerprints against
what they found in Danielle's apartment,
but there's not a match.
They don't find anything.
NARRATOR: And Calvin also has no prior record of homicide.
So, is it really possible this former petty thief
is responsible for the murder of single mother,
Danielle Jennings?
NARRATOR: Four days after the murder of 20-year-old mother
Danielle Jennings,
Gwinnett County Georgia Police
discover that a maintenance man
at Danielle's apartment complex,
Calvin Oliver, had prior convictions for burglary
and rape.
We talked to the maintenance supervisor
who advised us that there was a master key
that would fit any and every residential
apartment on the premises.
The supervisor noticed one day that it was off its hook.
When he noticed this missing master key,
the only other worker on duty had been Calvin Oliver.
NARRATOR: So ex-con Calvin Oliver
could have accessed Danielle's apartment.
It seems logical that Calvin is our prime suspect.
He may have been surprised by her
while burglarizing her apartment and killed her.
NARRATOR: But detectives found no fingerprints or other
forensic evidence of Calvin's inside Danielle's apartment.
The fact is we need some concrete physical evidence
that will link him to some wrongdoing in Danielle's death.
NARRATOR: That same day, police pick up Calvin Oliver on
an outstanding warrant for missing a prior court date.
KEETON: We are hoping to gain any information we can
about any of the break-ins,
but of course, without telling him this.
What we really want to know is how he might be connected to
Danielle's death.
HENRY: We ask him if he had seen anybody suspicious or
if he had any knowledge of any of the burglaries.
He denied having any knowledge of any burglaries going on,
that he had not heard about any.
NARRATOR: Detectives asked Calvin about his record.
KEETON: He basically said, I've learned my lesson.
Why would somebody that knows what I know,
be stupid enough to do something like this?
HENRY: The whole time that we were interviewing him,
he was very calm, very collected.
KEETON: Mr. Oliver does not say anything
particularly incriminating.
He is not some scared teenager that's going to
collapse in tears when the police talk to him.
He's just biding his time, waiting for us to give up.
NARRATOR: But what he says next catches the detective's attention.
It's interesting that he initiates mention of Danielle.
HENRY: We ask him if he had any knowledge
of the murder that occurred.
He stated that he didn't have
any information pertaining to the murder.
KEETON: He was confident he was elsewhere, but not elsewhere
that could be corroborated by anyone else.
He has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in court.
Although that's a fairly minor offense,
it does give us a useful tool to keep him in
custody long enough for us to take the next
investigative step.
NARRATOR: While Calvin Oliver sits in a holding cell,
police execute a warrant to
search his apartment at the complex.
HENRY: We're searching for property that we know that has been
taken in a previous burglary in the complex,
or looking for something in the apartment that
would link him physically to Danielle Jennings.
KEETON: One practical hope we have in looking at Mr. Oliver's
apartment is the possibility
that we might discover a mate to the stocking that was used
to strangle Danielle.
Unfortunately, we didn't find the stocking.
NARRATOR: But detectives do spot something else
that catches their eye.
HENRY: I noticed a diamond ring that was sitting on the dresser.
We didn't have any jewelry specified in the search warrant.
Nobody remembered any jewelry being taken.
And so, we photographed it and left it in place.
HUNSICKER: They don't find any evidence tying Calvin Oliver to
the murder of Danielle,
but they do find some checks that most definitely
are not his property.
KEETON: The checks are soon confirmed to be
a match with those reported stolen
from an apartment resident.
NARRATOR: When detectives return to police headquarters,
they're eager to show Calvin Oliver what they found
in his apartment.
KEETON: We confront Mr. Oliver about it, and he basically says,
"Okay, you got me on the checks, but I'm not a murderer."
HUNSICKER: All this helps with the case against Oliver
for the burglaries,
but none of this helps with the murder of Danielle.
NARRATOR: Detectives charge Calvin Oliver with burglary,
but 24 hours later, he makes bail and is released.
HUNSICKER: The police are beginning to think that
this is yet another dead end.
Again, do we have the wrong guy?
They just don't know.
It's been almost a week since
Danielle's murder and they are nowhere.
A week after Gwinnett County Georgia Police
find Danielle Jennings strangled in her apartment,
detectives receive a call from her grieving fiance.
[phone ringing]
Lenny, the fiance, he asked if
he could get Danielle's engagement ring back.
I said, well, you never told us about a ring that
was missing.
And he said, "Well, I thought the medical examiner would have
"had it because she always wears it,
"and I collected some jewelry from them that she had,
but there was no engagement ring there."
So I had him describe the engagement ring,
and that's when the lights and bells went off,
because I remember seeing a ring similar to that
description on the dresser in Calvin Oliver's apartment.
NARRATOR: Detectives asked Lenny to come down to examine the ring
in person to see if it's
the same one that he bought for Danielle that was on her
finger when she was killed.
HENRY: Lenny positively identified the ring.
He said that Danielle had been wearing that
ring when she left to go to work that morning,
The people at her work saw the engagement ring
on her finger on the day that she was murdered.
Now I have a piece of physical evidence
that connects Calvin Oliver to Danielle Jennings.
NARRATOR: Investigators haul Calvin back into the interrogation room
to see if he's willing to admit to what police suspect.
KEETON: He's adamant that he knows nothing about it.
He challenges us as to what evidence
we might have against him.
HENRY: I said, well we found this ring in your room,
and that's Danielle's ring.
And he said, well I stole that when I was in there
doing a work order two weeks ago.
The police have evidence to refute this.
Lenny saw the ring on her finger the day of the murder.
We feel strongly we've got the right guy,
but knowing and proving it are two different things.
We need something that will in a concrete,
admissible-in-court way,
connect Calvin Oliver to this homicide.
NARRATOR: Detectives believe the murderer brought
the stocking with him to kill Danielle,
since Danielle never wore them.
HUNSICKER: Police try one more thing.
They tell him that they're going
to charge him with malice murder.
That's because the police think that he took
the stocking with him into the apartment,
which means he had intent to harm someone.
This gets Calvin talking.
[scoffs]
And then out of the blue, we get that break.
HUNSICKER: Calvin Oliver says there was no intent there.
HENRY: When he said there was no intent,
that is Mr. Oliver
placing himself in the apartment
with Danielle when she was murdered.
That means that Calvin Oliver murdered Danielle Jennings.
NARRATOR: Detectives can now piece together
what happened to Danielle Jennings.
HUNSICKER: At 11 a.m., Danielle speaks to Lenny and asks
him to come home and meet her for lunch.
Lenny's sorry, but he can't get away from work.
KEETON: At 11:30 a.m.,
Danielle leaves the office to go home for lunch.
Sometime before 12:00 noon,
Calvin Oliver uses his key to get into Danielle's apartment
and begins the process of burglarizing it.
At 12 noon, Danielle enters the apartment.
Desperate to not get caught, Oliver attacks Danielle.
HENRY: He takes control over her, throws her on the bed,
he strangles her with the stocking around her neck.
KEETON: He finishes the process of fatally tightening
the stocking around her neck
and tying it off in a knot at the back of her neck.
After he kills her, he yanks the engagement ring
from her finger.
NARRATOR: Calvin Oliver is sentenced to life in prison
for the murder of Danielle Jennings --
and to an additional 10 years
for the theft of her engagement ring.
KEETON: Danielle Jennings was a tragic victim.
She was young, beautiful, had a child,
had a fiance, had a new job --
her life was finally clicking.
And then, Kelvin Oliver snuffed it out.
COLETTA: Calvin Oliver stole a loving mother.
He stole a loving fiance, he stole a daughter.
Nothing can replace Danielle.
It feels very good to be able to give family
some type of closure on this case.
I mean, they don't have their loved one there anymore,
but at least they know the person that's responsible
is not going to be out taking anyone else's life.
And it feels really good.
