1
00:00:02,936 --> 00:00:05,537
[eerie music playing]
2
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:09,241
[Robert] They wanted to create
their own horror movie.
3
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:14,246
[screams]
4
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:17,016
[Michael] It's beyond rage.
There is some kind of message
5
00:00:17,018 --> 00:00:18,417
being sent with this murder.
6
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:24,089
Someone who may appear
very normal can snap
7
00:00:24,091 --> 00:00:26,692
and commit a murder,
even one this brutal.
8
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:30,629
One wonders is this a type
of sexual obsession
9
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:33,165
that is partly driving
this offense.
10
00:00:33,167 --> 00:00:36,101
You're holding your breath
fearful for what you might just see
11
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:37,436
on this videotape.
12
00:00:38,638 --> 00:00:39,738
[gasps, screams]
13
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:40,939
[Robert] They wanted to have
14
00:00:40,941 --> 00:00:43,008
everlasting fame and terror
15
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:44,143
associated with their names.
16
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:48,547
[Tish] Every day
in North America,
17
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:51,216
dozens of people are murdered.
18
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:53,752
The key to solving the
toughest of these homicides
19
00:00:53,754 --> 00:00:57,589
lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim's life.
20
00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:59,358
To crack the case,
21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,095
detectives must reconstruct
that critical timeline,
22
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:05,964
the minutes and hours
containing evidence
23
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:08,167
that can help unlock the mystery
24
00:01:08,169 --> 00:01:09,668
and catch the killer.
25
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:21,113
[eerie music playing]
26
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:24,149
[Tish] Pocatello, Idaho,
27
00:01:24,151 --> 00:01:26,585
a town where locals
pride themselves
28
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:28,520
on knowing right from wrong.
29
00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:31,924
[Robert]
It is a railroad town.
30
00:01:31,926 --> 00:01:35,461
It is also a town that has
Idaho State University,
31
00:01:35,463 --> 00:01:37,329
so it is a college town.
32
00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:39,932
So it is blue-collar
meets white-collar.
33
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:41,934
And it's not like
many communities
34
00:01:41,936 --> 00:01:44,336
where you don't know
your neighbors.
35
00:01:44,338 --> 00:01:46,171
I grew up in Pocatello.
36
00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:49,441
It's just one of those
good places, still is,
37
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,210
to live, you know,
and raise a family.
38
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:57,649
The majority of crime is
property-based crime, thefts.
39
00:01:57,651 --> 00:01:59,585
And you'll get
the occasional vandalism
40
00:01:59,587 --> 00:02:02,321
or sometimes a stolen vehicle.
41
00:02:02,323 --> 00:02:04,990
We did occasionally get,
you know, homicide.
42
00:02:04,992 --> 00:02:06,892
Those were not very common.
43
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:12,364
[Tish] On a peaceful
Sunday afternoon,
44
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:15,334
an alarming call comes into 911
45
00:02:15,336 --> 00:02:17,803
from longtime
Pocatello resident,
46
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:19,738
- Allison Contreras.
- [phone rings]
47
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:23,809
- [dispatcher speaking]
- [Allison speaking]
48
00:02:23,811 --> 00:02:25,377
[dispatcher speaking]
49
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:27,479
[Allison speaking]
50
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:29,148
[dispatcher speaking]
51
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,550
[Allison speaking]
52
00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:32,818
Allison Contreras,
53
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,154
her husband, and their family...
54
00:02:35,156 --> 00:02:37,256
they've been gone
for the weekend.
55
00:02:37,258 --> 00:02:38,757
They came home Sunday afternoon.
56
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,026
Came in and found
her niece, Cassie,
57
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:42,528
lying on the living room floor,
58
00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:45,164
covered in blood,
and unresponsive.
59
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:46,899
So we hopped
into our patrol cars
60
00:02:46,901 --> 00:02:49,468
and headed straight
for the scene.
61
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:52,004
[Tish] When police arrive,
Allison directs them
62
00:02:52,006 --> 00:02:55,641
to the living room where they
discover the body of her niece,
63
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:59,378
Cassie Jo Stoddart.
64
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:02,648
[Robert] She was lying
in front of the couch.
65
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:04,783
A lot of blood around her
66
00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:08,754
and multiple stab wounds
all over her torso.
67
00:03:08,756 --> 00:03:12,591
She had a bunch of wounds
indicative of a very sudden attack.
68
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:15,060
A very brutal, very aggressive,
69
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:18,430
very deadly attack.
70
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:20,399
This only happens
in bigger cities.
71
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:22,634
This doesn't happen
in Pocatello, Idaho.
72
00:03:24,237 --> 00:03:26,205
[Vic] The initial
investigators that went
73
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:28,373
into the residence,
74
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:29,808
when they observed the body,
75
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:32,444
they could see
some obvious signs
76
00:03:32,446 --> 00:03:33,979
of self-defense wounds.
77
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:37,082
[Robert] Her pinky finger
was nearly
78
00:03:37,084 --> 00:03:38,550
severed from her hand
79
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:39,718
trying to defend herself
80
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,420
from this very brutal attack
81
00:03:41,422 --> 00:03:43,555
that she was enduring.
82
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:46,225
There was spatter
on the television.
83
00:03:46,227 --> 00:03:49,428
High velocity blood
thrown on to the walls.
84
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:52,798
That's indicative of someone
flinging their knife backwards
85
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200
and then coming down again
very fast.
86
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:57,636
It speaks to the violence
of the attack.
87
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:03,141
[Vic] In fact, there were
31 stab wounds to her body.
88
00:04:03,143 --> 00:04:05,544
Twelve of which were
fatal wounds.
89
00:04:05,546 --> 00:04:08,280
And when you're dealing
with an individual
90
00:04:08,282 --> 00:04:10,215
that was stabbed 31 times,
91
00:04:10,217 --> 00:04:12,117
this is a crime of violence.
92
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:13,852
This isn't just something
that happened.
93
00:04:13,854 --> 00:04:17,823
This is a premeditated
violent act
94
00:04:17,825 --> 00:04:19,658
committed against
this young woman.
95
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:23,128
[Michael] This is
a frenzy murder.
96
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:24,529
I mean, it's beyond rage.
97
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:27,332
There is some kind
of message being sent
98
00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:30,369
with this murder,
to create the most
99
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:31,937
horrific tableau imaginable
100
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:34,773
for whoever is going
to find that body.
101
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:37,843
[eerie music playing]
102
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:41,179
[Tish] Cassie's mother, Anna,
arrives on the scene.
103
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:42,848
She can't imagine
who would have wanted
104
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:45,717
to kill her daughter
so savagely.
105
00:04:47,353 --> 00:04:49,955
Cassie was a 16-year-old
young woman
106
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:51,957
that had high aspirations.
107
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,426
She had aspirations
of going to law school
108
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:56,995
and possibly being
a prosecuting attorney,
109
00:04:56,997 --> 00:04:59,464
possibly being a veterinarian.
110
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:01,700
The world was at her fingertips.
111
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,670
[Robert] She was very
interested in art
112
00:05:04,672 --> 00:05:06,405
and those sorts of things.
113
00:05:06,407 --> 00:05:09,608
But, also, Cassie was known
to have compassion.
114
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:12,110
She was a defender of people
115
00:05:12,112 --> 00:05:15,047
who were looked down upon
by others.
116
00:05:15,049 --> 00:05:17,449
She was very passionate
about the things in life
117
00:05:17,451 --> 00:05:19,484
that she felt strongly about,
118
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:21,787
and was not afraid
to take a stand.
119
00:05:21,789 --> 00:05:26,024
She was very, you know,
mature for 16.
120
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:29,795
And, in life, she was going to
do something that would matter.
121
00:05:32,098 --> 00:05:33,532
[Tish]
Tasked with investigating
122
00:05:33,534 --> 00:05:36,168
the brutal murder
of Cassie Jo Stoddart,
123
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:38,737
our detective, Robert Rausch,
124
00:05:38,739 --> 00:05:42,674
and prosecuting attorney,
Vic Pearson.
125
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,543
[Robert] I have a son
that's the same age.
126
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:47,379
He's born right in
the same group with Cassie.
127
00:05:47,381 --> 00:05:51,016
And it makes it even harder
for me, as a parent,
128
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:54,286
to investigate the murder.
129
00:05:54,288 --> 00:05:56,088
You have to distance yourself.
130
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:58,190
And at the same time,
it's hard when you're looking
131
00:05:58,192 --> 00:05:59,991
at this and you're looking
at people who are...
132
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:02,127
Have lost someone
that's the same age
133
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:04,930
and the same point in life
that your child is.
134
00:06:04,932 --> 00:06:07,532
You just can't make
any sense of this.
135
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,503
[Tish] To track down
Cassie's killer,
136
00:06:11,505 --> 00:06:13,472
investigators
will need to unravel
137
00:06:13,474 --> 00:06:16,341
the final 24 hours of her life.
138
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:20,645
We find a phone
next to Cassie's body.
139
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:22,581
It could mean she was
trying to call.
140
00:06:22,583 --> 00:06:25,183
It could mean that she simply
had it in her hand
141
00:06:25,185 --> 00:06:26,952
in case someone called.
142
00:06:26,954 --> 00:06:29,755
We don't know for sure,
but it is something else
143
00:06:29,757 --> 00:06:32,157
that we would look at
closely for fingerprints.
144
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:37,996
Bloody footprints are in the
area around Cassie's body,
145
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:39,898
and they go across the carpet
146
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,267
and through the garage,
across the garage
147
00:06:42,269 --> 00:06:44,936
and then outside
from the garage.
148
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:46,271
The trail terminates out there
149
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:48,974
in the gravel and grass.
150
00:06:48,976 --> 00:06:52,277
In this case, what appears to
be one lone set of footprints,
151
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,246
bloody footprints, leading away
152
00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:55,847
initially points
in the direction
153
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:57,349
of a single attacker.
154
00:06:59,118 --> 00:07:01,186
[Tish] Investigators
follow the footprints
155
00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:04,022
down to the basement.
156
00:07:04,024 --> 00:07:08,493
Downstairs around the corner,
there's the breaker box.
157
00:07:08,495 --> 00:07:10,328
Some of the breakers
are still thrown,
158
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:11,997
including the breakers
for upstairs
159
00:07:11,999 --> 00:07:14,232
for the phone
and the TV and that,
160
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:16,568
right where Cassie was.
161
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:18,737
So who was in the breaker box?
162
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:20,906
Why were they
in the breaker box?
163
00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:22,507
We needed to get
some fingerprints
164
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:25,076
and figure out whose hands
have been on that box.
165
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:29,347
[Tish] As they continue
to search the crime scene,
166
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:31,550
investigators consider
if they could be looking
167
00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:33,418
at a burglary gone wrong.
168
00:07:35,521 --> 00:07:37,722
[Robert] The home did not
appear to be ransacked
169
00:07:37,724 --> 00:07:40,559
or like a robbery gone wild.
170
00:07:40,561 --> 00:07:42,994
It seemed a very focused attack.
171
00:07:42,996 --> 00:07:45,730
- [screams] - [Vic] This
wasn't a forced entry.
172
00:07:45,732 --> 00:07:48,233
Somebody had either come in
through an unlocked door
173
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:51,536
or had been invited in.
174
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:54,272
[Tish] And then detectives
find a piece of evidence
175
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:57,843
that paints a different
picture of the crime.
176
00:07:57,845 --> 00:08:00,979
[Robert] We discover
a discarded condom
177
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:02,547
in the bathroom.
178
00:08:02,549 --> 00:08:04,249
It is absolutely
a possible theory
179
00:08:04,251 --> 00:08:06,117
that Cassie was
sexually assaulted,
180
00:08:06,119 --> 00:08:09,721
and then perhaps she was
killed to keep her quiet.
181
00:08:09,723 --> 00:08:13,058
It is something that you
have to kind of carry forward
182
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:15,794
and say, okay, we might
possibly be looking
183
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:19,431
for someone who would have
this kind of fixation on her.
184
00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:20,966
We also, of course,
look at boyfriends
185
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:23,735
and other people close to her.
186
00:08:23,737 --> 00:08:26,972
[Tish] To check their theory
against the forensic evidence,
187
00:08:26,974 --> 00:08:30,408
investigators turn
to the medical examiner.
188
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,811
[Vic] We complete
a sexual assault kit
189
00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:36,648
and we do find that there
had been sexual activity,
190
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:38,550
but we don't know
whether this was
191
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:40,318
consensual sexual activity
192
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,054
or forced sexual activity.
193
00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:45,590
[Tish] The medical examiner
also helps establish
194
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:48,026
Cassie's window of death.
195
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,561
[Robert]
She has a bloated stomach
196
00:08:49,563 --> 00:08:51,396
and she has rigor mortis.
197
00:08:51,398 --> 00:08:54,799
It tells us she's been
deceased for a while.
198
00:08:54,801 --> 00:08:56,568
Time of death was
thought to be either
199
00:08:56,570 --> 00:09:00,038
early Saturday sometime
or late Friday.
200
00:09:02,074 --> 00:09:04,809
[Tish] To continue building
the victims timeline,
201
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:06,478
investigators turn
their attention
202
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,048
to Cassie's mother,
Anna Stoddard.
203
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:12,617
[Robert] So Anna relays
that Cassie was house sitting
204
00:09:12,619 --> 00:09:14,486
for her aunt and uncle.
205
00:09:14,488 --> 00:09:15,921
They have some dogs and cats,
206
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:18,390
and she was gonna
house sit with them.
207
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:20,292
And she was gonna get there
Friday, which she did,
208
00:09:20,294 --> 00:09:22,727
and was gonna stay
until Sunday evening
209
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:26,464
when the Contrerases
were due home.
210
00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:29,534
[Tish] On Friday night,
Anna gave Cassie permission
211
00:09:29,536 --> 00:09:31,469
to invite her boyfriend, Scott,
212
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:34,039
over to the Contreras house
to hang out.
213
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,542
[Robert]
When we interview Anna,
214
00:09:37,544 --> 00:09:40,111
she tells us that she
dropped off Cassie and Scott
215
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:44,049
at the Contreras' home
5:30 PM on Friday.
216
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:49,454
Later that evening,
Anna had called Cassie
217
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:51,289
to see how she was doing
and Cassie told her
218
00:09:51,291 --> 00:09:53,291
that she had had some
problems with the phone
219
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:55,226
and some problems
with the power going out,
220
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,463
but things were okay
and she was doing fine.
221
00:09:58,465 --> 00:10:00,465
Scott was there with her.
222
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,634
Anna felt that these little
things didn't really seem
223
00:10:02,636 --> 00:10:04,603
to have Cassie scared that much.
224
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:06,571
They were just kind of
inconveniences to her.
225
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:13,478
[Tish] When Anna is unable
to reach Cassie on Sunday,
226
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,215
she goes to the Contreras
house to check on her
227
00:10:17,217 --> 00:10:20,051
only to learn that she's been
brutally murdered.
228
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:24,222
[Vic] Anna arrives
at the scene shortly after
229
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,424
Cassie's body is found.
230
00:10:26,426 --> 00:10:29,561
And she calls Scott
and she says,
231
00:10:29,563 --> 00:10:33,164
"What the F did you do
to my daughter?"
232
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:34,499
[Robert]
To Anna's knowledge,
233
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:37,435
the last person
with Cassie was Scott.
234
00:10:37,437 --> 00:10:39,437
And so, in her mind,
235
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:41,172
I'm sure that's what
she was thinking is,
236
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:42,741
"You were the last person
with my daughter
237
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:44,509
and now my daughter is dead.
238
00:10:44,511 --> 00:10:46,411
What did you do
to my daughter?"
239
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:54,119
[eerie music playing]
240
00:10:54,121 --> 00:10:56,821
[Tish] Police have their first
suspect in the vicious slaying
241
00:10:56,823 --> 00:11:00,358
of 16-year-old
Cassie Jo Stoddart,
242
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,129
her boyfriend and the last
person to see her alive,
243
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:06,564
Scott Linderholm.
244
00:11:06,566 --> 00:11:09,968
We have to focus on
what we have in front of us.
245
00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:12,103
Look at all the pieces.
246
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,606
And Scott is a piece
at this time.
247
00:11:14,608 --> 00:11:16,474
And he also has
an emotional attachment.
248
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:18,977
They're boyfriend-girlfriend.
249
00:11:18,979 --> 00:11:21,179
We discovered, you know,
that in the five months
250
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:23,181
that they had been dating,
they'd have occasionally
251
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,649
a spat here and there.
252
00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:26,818
It didn't seem too out of line
253
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:29,754
for a normal teen relationship.
254
00:11:29,756 --> 00:11:31,456
But we understand that someone
255
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:33,658
who may appear
very normal otherwise,
256
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,360
under the right circumstances,
257
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:37,028
can snap and commit a murder,
258
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:40,131
and even one this brutal.
259
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:42,467
[Vic] Talking to Cassie's
family, there were a few things
260
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:45,704
about Scott and Cassie's
relationship that worried us.
261
00:11:47,506 --> 00:11:49,974
There had been
a couple incidences
262
00:11:49,976 --> 00:11:54,979
where Scott had been
argumentative and rude
263
00:11:54,981 --> 00:11:58,216
towards Cassie and her family.
264
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:02,454
Anna and Cassie had had
a couple recent arguments
265
00:12:02,456 --> 00:12:06,124
regarding Cassie
and Scott's relationship
266
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:08,860
and didn't necessarily
approve of Scott
267
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:12,230
as a good boyfriend for Cassie
268
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,033
just based upon
some of their interactions
269
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:18,536
between each other.
270
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:21,506
The question becomes motive.
271
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,208
Did something happen
between them
272
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:27,045
on that particular evening
that caused the fight?
273
00:12:27,047 --> 00:12:30,415
[Robert] When you're younger, you
don't think as much about consequences,
274
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:35,053
so pressures like rejection
can be especially traumatic.
275
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:37,622
Older people might say, "Well,
there's other fish in the sea,"
276
00:12:37,624 --> 00:12:40,125
where young people, "This is
the only fish in the sea."
277
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:48,233
[Tish] With suspicions
swirling around Scott,
278
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:51,336
investigators bring him in
for questioning.
279
00:12:51,338 --> 00:12:53,571
[Vic] Scott when he's
first interviewed,
280
00:12:53,573 --> 00:12:56,775
you'd expect him
to be extremely emotional,
281
00:12:56,777 --> 00:12:59,577
extremely upset, but he wasn't
282
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:02,113
and this was
out of the ordinary.
283
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,982
[officer speaking]
284
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:05,416
- [Scott speaking]
- [officer speaking]
285
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:08,486
[Scott speaking]
286
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:19,130
Scott was asked about
287
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,899
the condom found in the toilet.
288
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:24,602
And he was quite
embarrassed, nervous,
289
00:13:24,604 --> 00:13:28,740
and kind of like overwhelmed
by the situation.
290
00:13:28,742 --> 00:13:32,277
But he was quick to point out
that the sexual relations
291
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:34,679
with he and Cassie
were consensual
292
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:37,649
and that they had occurred.
293
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,517
As he is answering questions,
294
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,687
you're looking at subtle
changes in body language.
295
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:46,124
If he displays any emotion,
is it appropriate emotion?
296
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,760
Because it's hard for someone
to keep up a front,
297
00:13:48,762 --> 00:13:50,929
especially for
a crime like this,
298
00:13:50,931 --> 00:13:53,464
which takes an intense
amount of rage
299
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:56,568
and an intense amount
of some sort of emotion
300
00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:58,303
that the rest of us
don't normally have
301
00:13:58,305 --> 00:14:00,104
to do something like this.
302
00:14:02,775 --> 00:14:05,543
[Tish] Detectives drill down
on Scott's alibi
303
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:09,747
during the window
of time Cassie was murdered.
304
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:11,983
[Robert] Scott relayed that
Anna have driven them out
305
00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:14,018
to the Contreras' home
306
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:17,956
and dropped him off
about 5:30 PM.
307
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:20,091
Scott called two of his friends,
308
00:14:20,093 --> 00:14:21,993
Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper
309
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:23,761
to come over and watch
a movie with him,
310
00:14:23,763 --> 00:14:25,864
spend some time.
311
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:28,867
Scott describes Brian
and Torey as friends of his.
312
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:33,338
Guys he hangs out with
at school every so often.
313
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:35,740
According to Scott,
Cassie was not happy at all
314
00:14:35,742 --> 00:14:39,878
that he had called and let
Brian and Torey know
315
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,213
that this is where
they were going to be.
316
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,349
She really didn't want him to
because she wanted to have
317
00:14:44,351 --> 00:14:47,185
just a nice, easy, quiet
evening with her boyfriend.
318
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:50,688
But Cassie is
very nice to everyone
319
00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:52,423
and so she tolerates a lot
320
00:14:52,425 --> 00:14:55,326
because these are
Scott's friends.
321
00:14:57,796 --> 00:15:00,398
[Vic]
At approximately 8:20 PM,
322
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,867
Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik
323
00:15:02,869 --> 00:15:04,302
had arrived at the residence.
324
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:10,308
[Tish] Cassie takes them
on a tour of the house
325
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:13,244
ending in the basement.
326
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,713
[Vic] Brian, Torey,
and Scott went around.
327
00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:19,817
They messed around
on some gym equipment.
328
00:15:19,819 --> 00:15:21,753
They were very immature
to her, so it was less
329
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:23,221
of a fun time together,
330
00:15:23,223 --> 00:15:25,290
more of a babysitting venture.
331
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:27,225
And then they went upstairs
332
00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:30,762
to watch a movie, Kill Bill 2,
333
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:33,231
but Brian Draper
and Torey Adamcik
334
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:35,633
had not stayed
for the whole movie.
335
00:15:35,635 --> 00:15:39,604
About 9:45, they had decided
that they were going to leave
336
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:43,241
to go watch a movie
in a theater.
337
00:15:43,243 --> 00:15:46,377
[Robert] They actually asked
if Scott wanted to go with them,
338
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:50,048
but he said he was
gonna stay with Cassie.
339
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:53,818
And so they left
the residence at that time.
340
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:02,694
Scott tells us that
approximately 10:15 PM,
341
00:16:02,696 --> 00:16:05,997
the lights go out at the house
342
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:09,000
and him and Cassie start hearing
343
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:12,036
some strange sounds
coming from the basement.
344
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,009
They're not a hundred percent
sure what's going on.
345
00:16:18,011 --> 00:16:19,877
And this goes on for a while.
346
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:27,685
[Vic] The lights
start going off and on,
347
00:16:27,687 --> 00:16:30,188
and they're starting
to get worried.
348
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:31,956
They have some dogs in the house
349
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:34,692
that are barking
at the top of the stairs.
350
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:37,195
So there's a lot of things
going through their minds.
351
00:16:37,197 --> 00:16:39,964
Certainly, fear is one of them.
352
00:16:39,966 --> 00:16:41,799
And then the power comes back on
353
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:43,434
and Scott's makes
a determination
354
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:44,936
that he's gonna call his mother
355
00:16:44,938 --> 00:16:46,804
to pick him up.
356
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:53,277
Approximately 11:20,
357
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:56,914
Scott's parents arrived
at the house.
358
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:59,050
The lights have been back on,
so nothing was
359
00:16:59,052 --> 00:17:01,619
out of the ordinary
at that point.
360
00:17:08,127 --> 00:17:11,396
[eerie music playing]
361
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:13,031
[Tish] Scott then says
he went home
362
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,500
and watched movies with his dad.
363
00:17:15,502 --> 00:17:17,769
From 11:40 PM
364
00:17:17,771 --> 00:17:21,739
until they went to bed
at 3:00 AM.
365
00:17:21,741 --> 00:17:25,009
Scott did say that he called
multiples times on Saturday
366
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,544
and couldn't get
a hold of Cassie
367
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:28,780
and that they had spoke daily,
368
00:17:28,782 --> 00:17:33,051
so this was very odd for him.
369
00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:36,954
[Tish] But instead heading over
to check on Cassie by himself,
370
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:40,291
Scott meets his buddy,
Torey Adamcik.
371
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:41,893
[Robert] Torey comes over
and picks him up
372
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:44,095
in the evening,
around 7:00.
373
00:17:44,097 --> 00:17:46,197
They go back to Torey's house.
374
00:17:46,199 --> 00:17:48,232
Torey tells him that
he can't take him
375
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,734
over there to Cassie's place,
376
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,437
which granted is across town.
377
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:54,739
He says 'cause he doesn't
have enough gas in his car
378
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:57,275
and he needs to save
the gas he has in his car.
379
00:17:57,277 --> 00:18:00,478
And so, you know, they never
do get to go over there
380
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,581
and check on her
on Saturday night.
381
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:07,118
Why didn't Scott ask Torey's mom
and dad if they would take him over there
382
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,620
or see if he could put
some more gas in Torey's car?
383
00:18:11,023 --> 00:18:13,758
[Root] Sometimes people
feign concern
384
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,130
to show themselves
as not somebody capable
385
00:18:19,132 --> 00:18:20,665
of committing such an act.
386
00:18:20,667 --> 00:18:21,899
[screams]
387
00:18:21,901 --> 00:18:23,801
[Root] It is designed
388
00:18:23,803 --> 00:18:27,138
to throw the police
off their scent.
389
00:18:30,642 --> 00:18:32,410
[Tish] To corroborate
Scott's story,
390
00:18:32,412 --> 00:18:35,446
detectives reach out
to his parents.
391
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:38,149
Both of Scott's parents
said that they picked him up
392
00:18:38,151 --> 00:18:41,853
at the Contreras' house
at 11:20 PM on Friday night,
393
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:43,588
and both of them gave exactly
394
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:46,257
the same version of the events.
395
00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:48,493
[Vic] But Scott's parents
don't enter the house.
396
00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:50,495
They call him on the phone
397
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:53,998
and Scott just exits
the house and comes outside.
398
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,668
So they never see Cassie
on that particular evening.
399
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:02,006
[Robert] Scott was
the only person with Cassie
400
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:05,042
from 9:45 until 11:20.
401
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:07,512
That provided him
the opportunity
402
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:11,883
to have committed this crime.
403
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:13,885
[Tish]
Without an airtight alibi,
404
00:19:13,887 --> 00:19:16,320
detectives put Scott
on the backburner
405
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:18,823
and focused on the two boys
who were at the house
406
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:21,425
the night of the murder.
407
00:19:21,427 --> 00:19:23,728
[Robert] The initial interview
with Torey
408
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:26,164
is just essentially establishing
409
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:29,534
whether or not Scott's story
has credibility
410
00:19:29,536 --> 00:19:32,303
and then also
because he and Brian
411
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:36,841
were also in the vicinity,
at least until 9:45.
412
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,410
His demeanor is
sort of caught between
413
00:19:39,412 --> 00:19:43,514
nervousness and almost
a form of like hero worship,
414
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:47,685
because we have
a position of power.
415
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:51,389
Torey did express
that he not only knew Cassie
416
00:19:51,391 --> 00:19:53,824
but knew her pretty well
and had known her for years...
417
00:19:53,826 --> 00:19:56,394
[officer speaking]
418
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:58,729
[Torey speaking]
419
00:19:58,731 --> 00:20:00,998
[Robert] ...and thought
that she was a very smart
420
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,634
and very beautiful young lady.
421
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:07,071
It very much did seem like
he had a crush on Cassie
422
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:11,676
and he feels bad
for what happened to her.
423
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:14,312
[Tish] Investigators home in
on Torey's timeline
424
00:20:14,314 --> 00:20:17,315
for the night of the murder.
425
00:20:17,317 --> 00:20:19,317
[Robert] Torey stated
that he picked up Brian
426
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:20,885
and went over to the house.
427
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:22,687
They got there at 8:20.
428
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:24,322
He had originally been
told by Scott
429
00:20:24,324 --> 00:20:25,856
that this was gonna be a party,
430
00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:27,491
and when nobody else came over,
431
00:20:27,493 --> 00:20:30,661
it kind of bummed him out.
432
00:20:30,663 --> 00:20:32,597
They hung around
for a little while.
433
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:35,666
They had popsicles,
which Scott had opened up
434
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:39,337
with like a box opener
kind of knife.
435
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:41,639
[Tish] Torey claims the four
of them went back upstairs
436
00:20:41,641 --> 00:20:43,507
and put on a movie,
437
00:20:43,509 --> 00:20:47,311
but he and Brian
weren't that interested.
438
00:20:47,313 --> 00:20:49,380
[Robert] They had already seen
Kill Bill and they decide
439
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:51,482
they wanna go see
something else.
440
00:20:51,484 --> 00:20:53,584
Quoted, "This wasn't
going to be a party,"
441
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:57,488
and so it was time
to go at that point.
442
00:20:57,490 --> 00:20:59,156
We asked him
what movie he went to
443
00:20:59,158 --> 00:21:02,293
and he advises us he went
to a show called Pulse
444
00:21:02,295 --> 00:21:04,562
until 11:45
445
00:21:04,564 --> 00:21:07,465
and then returned home
after watching that movie.
446
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:09,700
[Robert]
Brian had spent the night.
447
00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:12,370
They're watching another
movie at Torey's house
448
00:21:12,372 --> 00:21:14,105
and then they went to bed,
449
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:15,740
and Brian had left
about 10:30
450
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:18,142
on Saturday morning.
451
00:21:18,144 --> 00:21:19,744
[Tish] Police asked Torey
452
00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:23,114
if anyone can back up his alibi.
453
00:21:23,116 --> 00:21:25,249
We talked to his parents
454
00:21:25,251 --> 00:21:28,219
and Torey had went up
to his parents
455
00:21:28,221 --> 00:21:30,721
to apologize for getting in
at midnight
456
00:21:30,723 --> 00:21:32,723
because he was supposed to
be home at 11:00
457
00:21:32,725 --> 00:21:34,358
and went to bed.
458
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:38,129
As we're examining
what Torey is telling us
459
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:41,098
and we're comparing that
to what Scott is telling us,
460
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,801
it is kind of striking
that they both have
461
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,604
such a well put together
alibi for Friday night
462
00:21:46,606 --> 00:21:49,407
and then they spent
Saturday night together.
463
00:21:51,743 --> 00:21:53,010
And we still had questions
464
00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:57,782
about why Scott didn't press
harder to check on Cassie.
465
00:21:57,784 --> 00:21:59,383
There is that possibility
466
00:21:59,385 --> 00:22:02,119
that both Scott
and Torey could be
467
00:22:02,121 --> 00:22:03,788
part of some sort of conspiracy
468
00:22:03,790 --> 00:22:06,324
in relation to this crime,
469
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:10,261
so absolutely we need
to talk to Brian Draper.
470
00:22:12,764 --> 00:22:14,231
[eerie music playing]
471
00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:15,733
[Tish] Detectives have zeroed in
472
00:22:15,735 --> 00:22:17,268
on three persons of interests
473
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:19,070
in the murder of 16-year-old,
474
00:22:19,072 --> 00:22:21,038
Cassie Jo Stoddart.
475
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,374
Her boyfriend, Scott Linderholm,
476
00:22:23,376 --> 00:22:25,376
and his friends, Torey Adamcik
477
00:22:25,378 --> 00:22:27,411
and Brian Draper.
478
00:22:29,414 --> 00:22:31,882
During Brian Draper's interview,
479
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:34,251
he was a little bit
more scared in the moment,
480
00:22:34,253 --> 00:22:35,820
a little more nervous
in the moment.
481
00:22:35,822 --> 00:22:39,056
[officer speaking]
482
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:40,858
- [Brian speaks]
- [officer speaking]
483
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,627
When asked about
his relationship with Cassie,
484
00:22:43,629 --> 00:22:46,063
he talks about knowing her
for quite a while.
485
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:48,065
And he did also speak
kindly of her
486
00:22:48,067 --> 00:22:50,901
in terms of what kind
of person she was.
487
00:22:50,903 --> 00:22:53,704
He did describe her as a friend.
488
00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:56,774
[Tish] Knowing Scott
489
00:22:56,776 --> 00:22:58,743
and Torey's versions of events,
490
00:22:58,745 --> 00:23:01,579
investigators questioned
Brian about his whereabouts
491
00:23:01,581 --> 00:23:03,614
the night Cassie was murdered.
492
00:23:04,683 --> 00:23:07,918
Brian relayed essentially
the same timeframe of events
493
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,688
that Torey did for Friday night.
494
00:23:10,690 --> 00:23:14,125
Brian also relayed that
Scott had a knife
495
00:23:14,127 --> 00:23:16,360
and he got it out and played
with it a little bit.
496
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:19,597
When we asked Brian
about going to the movie,
497
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:21,465
Brian relayed to us that
498
00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:23,934
he had run into a friend
named Heather,
499
00:23:23,936 --> 00:23:25,669
chatted with her
for a few minutes
500
00:23:25,671 --> 00:23:27,972
before he went into the movie.
501
00:23:27,974 --> 00:23:30,574
[Tish] Brian also tells
the same story
502
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:32,343
about staying over
at Torey's house
503
00:23:32,345 --> 00:23:35,146
and leaving at 10:30
Saturday morning.
504
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:39,950
When we're comparing Brian's
story to Torey's story,
505
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:42,186
they're relatively consistent
506
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:45,956
and so we have no reason
to necessarily suspect
507
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:47,224
that they committed this crime.
508
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,195
[Tish] Torey and Brian's
alibis show
509
00:23:51,197 --> 00:23:52,530
they did not
have the opportunity
510
00:23:52,532 --> 00:23:54,532
to kill Cassie,
511
00:23:54,534 --> 00:23:57,501
and they are eliminated
as suspects.
512
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:03,474
Then the forensic results
come in
513
00:24:03,476 --> 00:24:07,077
and they swing the case
in a whole new direction.
514
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:09,880
[Vic] Cassie's mother
has a boyfriend named Ralph,
515
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:12,183
and on the breaker box,
516
00:24:12,185 --> 00:24:15,319
we found Ralph's fingerprints.
517
00:24:15,321 --> 00:24:17,087
Now, we certainly know that
518
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:18,956
there could have been some
opportunity
519
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:22,293
to commit this crime
against Cassie.
520
00:24:22,295 --> 00:24:24,261
We don't have any
specific motive
521
00:24:24,263 --> 00:24:25,896
of why Ralph would have wanted
522
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:27,631
to commit a crime like this.
523
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:28,732
[screams]
524
00:24:28,734 --> 00:24:30,534
[Vic] There's the typical
situations
525
00:24:30,536 --> 00:24:31,635
that people think of
526
00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:34,738
with a boyfriend of the mother
527
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:37,041
and maybe there are some
strange relationship
528
00:24:37,043 --> 00:24:38,309
in that respect
529
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:40,344
that he wants to keep secret.
530
00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:45,216
[Tish]
Investigators haul Ralph
531
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:48,686
down to the station
for questioning.
532
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:51,689
[Vic] Ralph tells us
that they've lived together
533
00:24:51,691 --> 00:24:52,823
for a period of time
534
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:55,226
and they have
a good relationship.
535
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:57,828
But Ralph's relationship
with Cassie
536
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:01,432
wasn't always the best
because that's not dad
537
00:25:01,434 --> 00:25:03,734
but it's somebody
that's kind of playing
538
00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:05,536
that father figure.
539
00:25:05,538 --> 00:25:07,238
[Tish] Detectives asked Ralph
540
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,873
why his fingerprints were found
541
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:11,308
on the breaker box.
542
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:12,309
What we find is that
543
00:25:12,311 --> 00:25:14,712
Ralph did some work
for the Contrerases
544
00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:17,648
and had been in the breaker box.
545
00:25:17,650 --> 00:25:19,950
[Vic] Does that mean that
he didn't commit the crime
546
00:25:19,952 --> 00:25:20,951
on that evening?
547
00:25:20,953 --> 00:25:22,052
No.
548
00:25:22,054 --> 00:25:23,053
But at least we know
549
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:24,588
there's one reason
for his fingerprints
550
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:26,390
to be there already.
551
00:25:26,392 --> 00:25:28,592
[Tish] Still suspicious,
552
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:30,961
investigators asked Ralph
to submit
553
00:25:30,963 --> 00:25:33,330
to a polygraph examination.
554
00:25:33,332 --> 00:25:36,467
[Vic] We asked Ralph pointblank,
555
00:25:36,469 --> 00:25:38,235
"Did you murder Cassie?"
556
00:25:38,237 --> 00:25:39,803
And he denies it.
557
00:25:39,805 --> 00:25:42,806
He says I had nothing to do
with the death of Cassie.
558
00:25:42,808 --> 00:25:44,875
[Tish] But the polygraphs
results indicate
559
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:48,579
there is some deception
in Ralph's answers.
560
00:25:48,581 --> 00:25:51,649
[Vic] That causes the hair
on the back of our necks
561
00:25:51,651 --> 00:25:53,684
to stand up
just a little bit taller.
562
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,788
[Tish] With Ralph
now the prime suspect
563
00:25:57,790 --> 00:26:01,125
in Cassie's murder...
564
00:26:01,127 --> 00:26:02,960
detectives take a closer look
565
00:26:02,962 --> 00:26:04,995
at his timeline.
566
00:26:04,997 --> 00:26:08,866
Ralph tells us that
he was working till 7:00 PM.
567
00:26:08,868 --> 00:26:10,935
And then he has dinner with Anna
568
00:26:10,937 --> 00:26:13,170
till approximately 9:30.
569
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:17,308
And at 9:30 PM, he goes
to a neighbor's house
570
00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:18,609
where he played video games
571
00:26:18,611 --> 00:26:21,378
till approximately 1:30
in the morning.
572
00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:26,550
[Tish] Police worked
to verify Ralph's alibi
573
00:26:26,552 --> 00:26:29,186
for the night
of Cassie's murder.
574
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:31,455
[Vic] So we go
ask that neighbor,
575
00:26:31,457 --> 00:26:34,692
"Was Ralph with you
from 9:30 to 1:30?"
576
00:26:34,694 --> 00:26:35,826
And the neighbor does tell us,
577
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:38,562
"He was with us
at that particular point."
578
00:26:38,564 --> 00:26:40,965
Then we talked to Anna
and Anna says,
579
00:26:40,967 --> 00:26:44,301
"Yeah, Ralph arrived
back home at 1:30."
580
00:26:44,303 --> 00:26:45,936
So we have verified
581
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:48,572
that the story Ralph
have given us is the truth.
582
00:26:50,241 --> 00:26:53,010
[Tish] With no opportunity
to commit the crime,
583
00:26:53,012 --> 00:26:55,613
Ralph is cleared as a suspect.
584
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:57,214
And the investigation
585
00:26:57,216 --> 00:26:59,283
into the murder
of Cassie Stoddart
586
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:00,784
hits a wall.
587
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:01,752
Right now, we just know
588
00:27:01,754 --> 00:27:04,288
that there's a killer
on the loose.
589
00:27:04,290 --> 00:27:06,056
We have nobody in custody
590
00:27:06,058 --> 00:27:08,258
and we have a 16-year-old girl
591
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:10,661
that's been stabbed to death
brutally,
592
00:27:10,663 --> 00:27:13,631
and so we have our work
cut out for us.
593
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,202
[eerie music playing]
594
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:20,571
[Tish] The small town
of Pocatello, Idaho
595
00:27:20,573 --> 00:27:22,673
has been rocked
by the senseless murder
596
00:27:22,675 --> 00:27:25,142
of Cassie Jo Stoddart.
597
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,810
With a killer on the loose,
598
00:27:26,812 --> 00:27:29,880
locals fear
he could strike again.
599
00:27:29,882 --> 00:27:31,815
There was a tremendous reaction
600
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:32,883
throughout the community.
601
00:27:32,885 --> 00:27:35,986
This is not supposed
to happen to a 16-year-old.
602
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:38,989
And when the method of death
came out,
603
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:41,325
that was additionally
extraordinary
604
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,993
to the community.
605
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:44,695
They could not imagine
606
00:27:44,697 --> 00:27:47,731
somebody having
this kind of rage.
607
00:27:47,733 --> 00:27:50,734
You just don't expect that
this kind of thing to happen.
608
00:27:50,736 --> 00:27:53,337
And so I think
that really sent a chill up
609
00:27:53,339 --> 00:27:56,373
a lot of people
up their spines for sure.
610
00:27:57,475 --> 00:28:00,477
[eerie music playing]
611
00:28:02,947 --> 00:28:05,182
When you listen
to some of the behaviors
612
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:07,951
that are described here
as part of this crime,
613
00:28:07,953 --> 00:28:12,356
one wonders is this
a type of sexual obsession.
614
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:14,692
Some sort of sexual desire
towards Cassie
615
00:28:14,694 --> 00:28:16,126
that hasn't been realized
616
00:28:16,128 --> 00:28:18,929
that is partly driving
this offense.
617
00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:24,568
[Tish] Police turned
to Cassie's friends,
618
00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:27,237
searching for anyone
who could fit the profile
619
00:28:27,239 --> 00:28:28,772
of an obsessed killer.
620
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:33,577
They start by interviewing
her friend, Heather.
621
00:28:33,579 --> 00:28:35,546
[Robert] Heather relayed
to us that
622
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:37,614
she felt there was
fairly common knowledge
623
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:40,851
that Torey had a crush
on Cassie.
624
00:28:40,853 --> 00:28:43,687
She says that Torey was
obsessed with knives
625
00:28:43,689 --> 00:28:45,122
and talked about his collection
626
00:28:45,124 --> 00:28:46,924
of knives at school,
627
00:28:46,926 --> 00:28:48,592
and that Torey had,
628
00:28:48,594 --> 00:28:52,629
at times,
pretended to stab people.
629
00:28:52,631 --> 00:28:53,964
[Vic] Torey likes movies.
630
00:28:53,966 --> 00:28:56,266
He likes a particular genre
of movies,
631
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:58,669
that being slasher films.
632
00:28:58,671 --> 00:29:02,072
And so that becomes
a red flag for us.
633
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:03,807
[Tish] Investigators ask Heather
634
00:29:03,809 --> 00:29:05,909
about seeing Torey
and Brian at the movies
635
00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:08,412
the night Cassie was killed.
636
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:11,048
She makes a startling
revelation.
637
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:14,184
[Robert] Heather said
that she had not
638
00:29:14,186 --> 00:29:16,320
in fact spoken with Brian Draper
639
00:29:16,322 --> 00:29:17,955
that night at the movie theater
640
00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:20,557
like Brian had told us
that he had.
641
00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:24,495
[Tish] To get to the truth,
642
00:29:24,497 --> 00:29:28,098
officers bring Brian in
for a second interview.
643
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,267
[Robert] When we interviewed
Brian Draper
644
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:32,002
about going to the movie,
645
00:29:32,004 --> 00:29:35,172
we asked him questions
about the plot of the movie
646
00:29:35,174 --> 00:29:37,441
and he was very vague.
647
00:29:37,443 --> 00:29:40,477
[Brian speaking]
648
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:50,821
If he's paying
any attention at all,
649
00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:52,289
he would know way more than,
650
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:54,324
"Well, it's a movie
about this."
651
00:29:54,326 --> 00:29:56,927
He would know some important
points of the plot,
652
00:29:56,929 --> 00:29:59,296
and he didn't know
any of those things.
653
00:29:59,298 --> 00:30:01,665
[Tish] When detectives
confront him about lying,
654
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:05,068
Brian tries to offer up
something else.
655
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:08,105
[officer speaking]
656
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:15,479
- [Brian speaks]
- [officer speaking]
657
00:30:15,481 --> 00:30:18,515
[Brian speaking]
658
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:27,491
[Tish] Brian insists
that he lied
659
00:30:27,493 --> 00:30:29,126
because he didn't want to
get into trouble
660
00:30:29,128 --> 00:30:30,160
with the law.
661
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:34,298
[Robert] He says
that approximately 10:00 PM,
662
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:35,666
they had started opening doors
663
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:37,167
and checking cars
664
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:40,838
until they finally went over
to Torey's house at midnight,
665
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,607
and that is when
they were locked down there
666
00:30:43,609 --> 00:30:46,143
for the evening.
667
00:30:46,145 --> 00:30:47,244
[Tish] But then,
668
00:30:47,246 --> 00:30:50,547
Brian changes his story
yet again.
669
00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:51,815
It's pretty obvious
670
00:30:51,817 --> 00:30:53,717
that Brian Draper's been crying.
671
00:30:53,719 --> 00:30:56,053
He's just very emotional.
672
00:30:56,055 --> 00:30:59,823
And he wants to tell
the truth now.
673
00:30:59,825 --> 00:31:01,425
[Vic] Brian tells us
674
00:31:01,427 --> 00:31:03,994
that Torey had
committed this crime
675
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:05,562
and that Torey told him
676
00:31:05,564 --> 00:31:06,997
that if he didn't help,
677
00:31:06,999 --> 00:31:09,399
that he was going to kill him.
678
00:31:10,768 --> 00:31:12,569
[eerie music playing]
679
00:31:12,571 --> 00:31:14,471
[Vic] When they did leave
the house,
680
00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:17,074
what they did
is they went to their car.
681
00:31:17,076 --> 00:31:19,176
They then entered the residence
682
00:31:19,178 --> 00:31:21,645
through a door
that they had left unlocked
683
00:31:21,647 --> 00:31:23,714
in the basement.
684
00:31:24,749 --> 00:31:26,149
And at that point in time,
685
00:31:26,151 --> 00:31:29,753
Cassie and Scott
were still upstairs.
686
00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:31,722
And in an attempt to lure
687
00:31:31,724 --> 00:31:34,758
both Cassie
and Scott downstairs...
688
00:31:36,794 --> 00:31:40,998
Torey started turning
the lights off and on,
689
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,033
throwing a few items.
690
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:47,437
And what they were trying
to do is get both of these
691
00:31:47,439 --> 00:31:51,241
two young individuals
to come downstairs
692
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:53,243
where they'd be ambushed.
693
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:56,146
[phone rings]
694
00:31:56,148 --> 00:31:58,448
[Vic] Scott gets a call
from his mother
695
00:31:58,450 --> 00:32:00,751
that both Brian and Torey
can hear.
696
00:32:00,753 --> 00:32:02,486
And they realize that
697
00:32:02,488 --> 00:32:05,789
Scott's parents are
on their way to pick him up.
698
00:32:05,791 --> 00:32:08,558
So what do they do?
699
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,928
They turn the lights back on
at the house
700
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:13,230
so nothing's out of the ordinary
701
00:32:13,232 --> 00:32:15,933
and they just lie
and wait downstairs
702
00:32:15,935 --> 00:32:18,101
until Scott leaves
with his parents.
703
00:32:21,572 --> 00:32:25,375
[eerie music playing]
704
00:32:25,377 --> 00:32:28,812
[Vic] Him and Torey
then walk up the stairs,
705
00:32:28,814 --> 00:32:32,950
Cassie's there, and she screams.
706
00:32:32,952 --> 00:32:36,520
Torey then rushes her
and starts stabbing her.
707
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,891
[Robert] By the time
that he realized
708
00:32:40,893 --> 00:32:44,227
what actually was happening
with Torey,
709
00:32:44,229 --> 00:32:47,030
they had both ran out
of the home.
710
00:32:47,032 --> 00:32:49,466
Brian's explanation
of what happened
711
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:51,835
is quite a believable
explanation.
712
00:32:51,837 --> 00:32:53,136
He's a young person
713
00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,372
who's just seen something
horrific happen.
714
00:32:55,374 --> 00:32:58,108
He wasn't a party to the offense
715
00:32:58,110 --> 00:33:00,077
as he's describing
to the police.
716
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:02,012
And for the police,
it would have been
717
00:33:02,014 --> 00:33:04,281
a very plausible explanation
718
00:33:04,283 --> 00:33:06,049
that he was completely unaware
719
00:33:06,051 --> 00:33:08,418
that Torey was gonna commit
the murder.
720
00:33:09,854 --> 00:33:10,887
[Vic] Later on,
721
00:33:10,922 --> 00:33:13,857
both of the boys appeared
at Torey's house.
722
00:33:13,859 --> 00:33:15,559
Torey went in
and told his parents,
723
00:33:15,561 --> 00:33:16,827
"Hey, I'm home.
Sorry I'm late."
724
00:33:16,829 --> 00:33:18,061
He was supposed to be home
at 11:00.
725
00:33:18,063 --> 00:33:20,297
That helps give him an alibi.
726
00:33:20,299 --> 00:33:23,100
Then he and Brian
go hang out in the house
727
00:33:23,102 --> 00:33:25,135
till about 1:30
when they leave.
728
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:27,704
They bring alcohol
729
00:33:27,706 --> 00:33:29,606
and the shovel
and stuff with them,
730
00:33:29,608 --> 00:33:31,441
and they buy matches.
731
00:33:31,443 --> 00:33:32,342
They had driven out
732
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:34,011
to a place
called Black Rock Canyon,
733
00:33:34,013 --> 00:33:36,780
which is south of Pocatello.
734
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:39,616
They had buried
all of their things,
735
00:33:39,618 --> 00:33:41,618
their knives,
everything in this hole,
736
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:44,221
poured the alcohol on it,
and lit it on fire.
737
00:33:44,223 --> 00:33:46,123
They left shortly thereafter.
738
00:33:46,125 --> 00:33:47,724
About 2:30 or so,
739
00:33:47,726 --> 00:33:50,260
they went back to Torey's house.
740
00:33:50,262 --> 00:33:52,262
[Michael] What we have
with Brian's story
741
00:33:52,264 --> 00:33:54,364
is something
called the Svengali Defense
742
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,666
whereby when you have
a co-conspirator,
743
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,869
or a partner in crime,
744
00:33:58,871 --> 00:34:00,871
or maybe signed on
for one thing,
745
00:34:00,873 --> 00:34:02,873
and when things
then get out of control,
746
00:34:02,875 --> 00:34:04,241
he's too afraid to act
747
00:34:04,243 --> 00:34:06,510
because they're afraid
they may be the next victim.
748
00:34:06,512 --> 00:34:08,545
They're essentially brainwashed
749
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:11,214
and just go along with it.
750
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:12,449
This is a way to try
751
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:14,718
to diminish criminal
responsibility.
752
00:34:16,921 --> 00:34:18,588
[Tish] With Brian's confession,
753
00:34:18,590 --> 00:34:21,458
Cassie's boyfriend, Scott,
is finally eliminated
754
00:34:21,460 --> 00:34:23,493
as a suspect in her murder.
755
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:27,097
Investigators now confront Torey
756
00:34:27,099 --> 00:34:30,700
about his involvement
in Cassie's murder.
757
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:33,203
[Robert] When we get Torey in
and asked him,
758
00:34:33,205 --> 00:34:35,205
"Did you kill somebody?"
759
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:36,907
Torey says,
"I want a lawyer."
760
00:34:36,909 --> 00:34:39,943
[officer speaking]
761
00:34:42,947 --> 00:34:45,982
[Torey speaking]
762
00:34:45,984 --> 00:34:47,517
[officer speaking]
763
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:49,953
So we cease our interview
of Torey
764
00:34:49,955 --> 00:34:51,388
at this point in time.
765
00:34:52,557 --> 00:34:55,025
[Tish] Detectives need
Brian's cooperation
766
00:34:55,027 --> 00:34:56,159
to build their case
767
00:34:56,161 --> 00:34:58,328
and convinced him
to take them to the spot
768
00:34:58,330 --> 00:35:01,364
where the boys burned
and buried the evidence.
769
00:35:03,468 --> 00:35:06,403
The fire had not burned
everything.
770
00:35:06,405 --> 00:35:09,573
Alcohol is not the best
accelerant.
771
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:11,975
Had they grabbed
a can of gas or something,
772
00:35:11,977 --> 00:35:13,009
important pieces of evidence
773
00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:14,811
probably would
have been destroyed.
774
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:18,014
So it's for the fortunes
of justice
775
00:35:18,016 --> 00:35:21,184
that this was done in haste.
776
00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:28,525
Pulling items
out of this fire pit,
777
00:35:28,527 --> 00:35:31,161
we find a Scream mask,
778
00:35:31,163 --> 00:35:33,763
some outer covering, clothing,
779
00:35:33,765 --> 00:35:37,801
and their knives
that they had used.
780
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:40,570
[Vic] Most importantly,
we find something
781
00:35:40,572 --> 00:35:42,739
that Brian didn't tell us
have been there.
782
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:44,508
We find a videotape.
783
00:35:44,510 --> 00:35:46,476
That videotape turned out
784
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:48,311
to be the most damning piece
of evidence
785
00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:49,846
that I've dealt with
in my career
786
00:35:49,848 --> 00:35:51,381
as a prosecuting attorney.
787
00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:53,083
- [Torey] Hey.
- [Brian] Hello.
788
00:35:53,085 --> 00:35:54,684
[Torey] Hello, Cassie.
789
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,052
Say hi please.
790
00:35:56,054 --> 00:35:57,087
Hi.
791
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:01,525
[eerie music playing]
792
00:36:01,527 --> 00:36:04,327
[Tish] In the murder
of Cassie Jo Stoddard,
793
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:06,496
investigators have found a video
794
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:07,497
that could be the key
795
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:10,133
to cracking the case wide open.
796
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:17,741
I'll never forget the moment
that I watched that tape
797
00:36:17,743 --> 00:36:18,909
for the first time.
798
00:36:18,911 --> 00:36:20,177
It was just one of those moments
799
00:36:20,179 --> 00:36:22,179
that you're holding
your breath, fearful
800
00:36:22,181 --> 00:36:24,981
for what you might just see
on this videotape.
801
00:36:30,955 --> 00:36:35,392
It shows Torey
and Brian plotting.
802
00:36:35,394 --> 00:36:37,794
And they describe themselves
as evil.
803
00:36:37,796 --> 00:36:40,397
[Brian] We found our victim,
and she's our friend.
804
00:36:40,399 --> 00:36:41,331
But you know what?
805
00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:44,167
We all have to make sacrifices.
806
00:36:44,169 --> 00:36:46,970
Our first victim
is gonna be Cassie Stoddart.
807
00:36:46,972 --> 00:36:50,173
She's gonna be alone
in a big dark house.
808
00:36:50,175 --> 00:36:52,976
How perfect can you get?
809
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:54,578
[Keira] When we think about
810
00:36:54,580 --> 00:36:57,747
what is the psychology
that's driving Torey
811
00:36:57,749 --> 00:36:59,449
and Brian's behavior.
812
00:36:59,451 --> 00:37:02,819
There should be no law
against killing people.
813
00:37:02,821 --> 00:37:04,888
[Keira] When you have people
who have callous
814
00:37:04,890 --> 00:37:06,323
and unemotional traits,
815
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:07,958
they don't have
the same level of empathy
816
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,193
for other people,
that has been...
817
00:37:10,195 --> 00:37:13,330
Led to what we call
fledgling psychopathy.
818
00:37:13,332 --> 00:37:15,365
[Torey] I'm horny
just thinking about it.
819
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:16,666
[Brian] Hell, yeah.
820
00:37:16,668 --> 00:37:18,401
They wanted to become famous.
821
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:20,303
They wanted
to be serial killers.
822
00:37:20,305 --> 00:37:22,572
[Brian] We're sick psychopaths
823
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:25,475
who get pleasure
of killing other people.
824
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:26,676
[Torey]
That sounds good, baby.
825
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:28,011
[Brian] We're gonna go down
in history.
826
00:37:28,013 --> 00:37:29,980
We're gonna be just like Scream,
827
00:37:29,982 --> 00:37:32,182
- except real-life terms.
- [Torey] That sounds good, baby.
828
00:37:32,184 --> 00:37:33,984
[Brian] We're gonna be
murderers.
829
00:37:33,986 --> 00:37:35,752
Like, let's see, Ted Bundy.
830
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:37,654
Like, the Hillside Strangler.
831
00:37:37,656 --> 00:37:39,089
- [Torey] No.
- [Brian] The Zodiac killer.
832
00:37:39,091 --> 00:37:41,224
[Torey] Those people
are more amateurs
833
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:43,260
compared to what we're gonna be.
834
00:37:43,262 --> 00:37:44,561
I have no doubt
835
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:45,929
that if they would have
gotten away
836
00:37:45,931 --> 00:37:48,131
with Cassie's murder,
837
00:37:48,133 --> 00:37:50,066
that they would have killed
again.
838
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:54,738
[Robert] One consistent theme
keeps reoccurring.
839
00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:57,240
They have a fascination
for movies
840
00:37:57,242 --> 00:37:59,376
where people are killed,
841
00:37:59,378 --> 00:38:00,944
slaughtered, if you will,
indiscriminately,
842
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:02,279
largely with knives.
843
00:38:02,281 --> 00:38:04,581
And so we took
from Torey Adamcik's house
844
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:05,949
a collection of knives
845
00:38:05,951 --> 00:38:08,551
and a very large collection
of horror movies.
846
00:38:08,553 --> 00:38:10,120
Brian Draper's house,
847
00:38:10,122 --> 00:38:13,623
we seized a bunch of movies
as well.
848
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:16,326
The fact
that these two boys have
849
00:38:16,328 --> 00:38:18,461
a shared obsession
850
00:38:18,463 --> 00:38:21,131
and that their worlds
intersected,
851
00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:23,533
this is essentially
a nuclear reaction.
852
00:38:23,535 --> 00:38:25,435
This is what makes
these pairings
853
00:38:25,437 --> 00:38:27,370
so incredibly dangerous.
854
00:38:27,372 --> 00:38:29,439
[Brian] They are right
in that house
855
00:38:29,441 --> 00:38:30,607
just down the street.
856
00:38:30,609 --> 00:38:32,042
[Torey] We just talked to them.
857
00:38:32,044 --> 00:38:34,744
We were there for an hour but...
858
00:38:34,746 --> 00:38:36,279
[Brian] We checked out
the whole house.
859
00:38:36,281 --> 00:38:38,081
We know there's lots
of places to hide.
860
00:38:38,083 --> 00:38:40,116
We're ready.
861
00:38:40,118 --> 00:38:41,518
[Robert] I think one
of the things
862
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,887
that becomes apparent
is Torey and Brian
863
00:38:43,889 --> 00:38:46,089
wanted to create
their own horror movie,
864
00:38:46,091 --> 00:38:48,792
and they wanted to have that
kind of everlasting fame
865
00:38:48,794 --> 00:38:51,161
and terror
associated with their names.
866
00:38:51,163 --> 00:38:53,229
Their motivation was based a lot
867
00:38:53,231 --> 00:38:54,864
on trying to live in a world
868
00:38:54,866 --> 00:38:57,634
where they inspired
fear and power
869
00:38:57,636 --> 00:38:59,169
and control over other people.
870
00:39:00,571 --> 00:39:03,206
[Tish] Investigators
can now piece together
871
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:05,775
Cassie's final 24 hours.
872
00:39:05,777 --> 00:39:06,676
[Cassie screaming]
873
00:39:06,678 --> 00:39:09,713
On September 22nd, 2006...
874
00:39:11,582 --> 00:39:13,883
Torey Adamcik
and Brian Draper arrived
875
00:39:13,885 --> 00:39:15,719
together in Torey Adamcik's car
876
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:19,322
about 8:20 PM
at Cassie's aunt's house.
877
00:39:19,324 --> 00:39:21,891
Brian and Torey took a tour
of the house
878
00:39:21,893 --> 00:39:25,362
to scope it out for this crime.
879
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:27,530
They left a door unlocked
880
00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:30,100
so they could sneak
back in later,
881
00:39:30,102 --> 00:39:33,303
so they could carry out
their plan.
882
00:39:33,305 --> 00:39:36,506
Torey and Brian leave
Cassie and Scott
883
00:39:36,508 --> 00:39:38,141
saying that they're going
to watch a movie
884
00:39:38,143 --> 00:39:39,709
at a movie theater.
885
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:41,111
They use that as their ruse
886
00:39:41,113 --> 00:39:44,748
to leave the house
at 9:45 PM.
887
00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:47,851
Sometime just after 10:00,
888
00:39:47,853 --> 00:39:49,686
they reentered the house
through the door
889
00:39:49,688 --> 00:39:51,921
that Torey had left unlocked.
890
00:39:51,923 --> 00:39:54,023
This time though
they're in their mask
891
00:39:54,025 --> 00:39:55,959
and in their costumes.
892
00:39:55,961 --> 00:39:58,528
And they have their knives
with them.
893
00:39:58,530 --> 00:40:00,997
[Vic] At approximately
10:15 PM,
894
00:40:00,999 --> 00:40:03,800
they started turning
the lights off and on.
895
00:40:05,236 --> 00:40:07,771
Pretty soon,
the power comes back on
896
00:40:07,773 --> 00:40:09,205
and Scott makes a determination
897
00:40:09,207 --> 00:40:11,641
that he's gonna call his mother.
898
00:40:11,643 --> 00:40:14,644
[Robert] So at 11:20 PM,
Scott leaves the house
899
00:40:14,646 --> 00:40:16,880
with his parents.
900
00:40:16,882 --> 00:40:18,047
And, at that point,
901
00:40:18,049 --> 00:40:22,719
Brian and Torey put the rest
of their plan into action.
902
00:40:22,721 --> 00:40:24,854
They go up the stairs
903
00:40:24,856 --> 00:40:27,624
and then attacked Cassie
in the living room.
904
00:40:27,626 --> 00:40:29,559
[screams]
905
00:40:29,561 --> 00:40:31,161
[Vic] Brian and Torey
film themselves
906
00:40:31,163 --> 00:40:33,997
at approximately 11:31 PM,
907
00:40:33,999 --> 00:40:36,800
just after
they had killed Cassie.
908
00:40:36,802 --> 00:40:41,171
So we know in that rough
10-minute timeframe...
909
00:40:41,173 --> 00:40:42,172
that's the time
910
00:40:42,174 --> 00:40:44,207
that it took them
to kill Cassie.
911
00:40:46,310 --> 00:40:48,077
[Keira] I think fantasy
is actually
912
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:51,214
what may have brought
these two youths together
913
00:40:51,216 --> 00:40:53,583
and they're feeding off
one another.
914
00:40:53,585 --> 00:40:54,684
And when we think about
915
00:40:54,686 --> 00:40:56,753
all the stated motivations here
916
00:40:56,755 --> 00:40:58,588
potentially
to make a slasher movie,
917
00:40:58,590 --> 00:41:00,356
to potentially be
serial killers,
918
00:41:00,358 --> 00:41:03,426
they all have the same
underlying theme,
919
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:05,195
"I want people to listen to me.
920
00:41:05,197 --> 00:41:06,896
I want people to see me."
921
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:08,498
And I think at some level,
922
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:11,701
that's what each
of these boys wanted.
923
00:41:11,703 --> 00:41:14,704
[eerie music playing]
924
00:41:14,706 --> 00:41:18,174
[Tish] Both Torey Adamcik
and Brian Draper are charged
925
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:20,009
with first degree murder.
926
00:41:20,011 --> 00:41:21,177
They are convicted
927
00:41:21,179 --> 00:41:23,780
and sentenced to life
without parole.
928
00:41:25,716 --> 00:41:27,383
As a prosecuting attorney,
929
00:41:27,385 --> 00:41:30,353
there are certain cases
that you'll never forget.
930
00:41:30,355 --> 00:41:32,088
This is one of those cases
931
00:41:32,090 --> 00:41:33,790
that'll have
a lasting effect on me
932
00:41:33,792 --> 00:41:35,458
for the rest of my life.
933
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:37,527
I know, as a father,
I can tell you
934
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:39,429
I hug my kids
a little bit harder
935
00:41:39,431 --> 00:41:41,531
at that point in time.
936
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,267
[Robert]
After all these years,
937
00:41:44,269 --> 00:41:47,437
the thing that sticks out
to me most in this case
938
00:41:47,439 --> 00:41:49,272
is that there were a lot
more victims
939
00:41:49,274 --> 00:41:51,441
than just Cassie and her family.
940
00:41:51,443 --> 00:41:53,510
Our community was a victim.
941
00:41:53,512 --> 00:41:55,578
I think all of us
that worked on it,
942
00:41:55,580 --> 00:41:57,013
left a lot of ourselves here.
943
00:41:57,015 --> 00:41:59,449
We... Certainly,
all of us lost
944
00:41:59,451 --> 00:42:00,850
a lot of our innocence that day.
945
00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:04,153
And I know Cassie's family
has had trouble.
946
00:42:04,155 --> 00:42:07,657
And I mean that in a sense
of grief and loss.
947
00:42:07,659 --> 00:42:10,493
They never got to see
her graduate,
948
00:42:10,495 --> 00:42:15,365
walk down the aisle, you know?
949
00:42:15,367 --> 00:42:17,934
So many things they didn't get.
950
00:42:17,936 --> 00:42:21,004
So...
951
00:42:21,006 --> 00:42:24,140
these cases affect all of us.
952
00:42:24,142 --> 00:42:26,175
They absolutely do.
953
00:42:27,478 --> 00:42:28,478
So...
