1
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,220
The victim had been
severely beaten
and very unrecognizable.

2
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:21,391
The cause of death
was blunt force trauma
from some hard object.

3
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:24,863
She was in a foster care
system.

4
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:27,692
She came to live with us
at about the age of ten.

5
00:00:27,728 --> 00:00:29,858
She had a huge heart.

6
00:00:29,897 --> 00:00:33,267
Somebody close to her
had something to do with her
death.

7
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:38,770
Maybe his jealousy had reached
a boiling point and he beat
her to death in a fit of rage.

8
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:41,705
She described him
as being in a gang

9
00:00:41,742 --> 00:00:46,212
and would definitely do
what he needed to do
to get what he wanted.

10
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:50,416
He finds out she was pregnant
and two weeks later
she was found in a river.

11
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:55,790
She came forward and stated
that she had witnessed the
killing and gives us the name.

12
00:00:55,822 --> 00:01:01,462
That information showed us
that he was in the area
where she was killed.

13
00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:06,505
The phone pings on the towers
for his phone
could be what seals his fate.

14
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:13,412
[narrator]
Every day in North America
dozens of people are murdered.

15
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,880
The key to solving the
toughest of these homicides

16
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:18,909
lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim’s life.

17
00:01:19,846 --> 00:01:21,476
To crack the case,

18
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:25,125
detectives must reconstruct
that critical timeline,

19
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:27,992
the minutes and hours
containing evidence

20
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:31,261
that can help unlock the
mystery and catch the killer.

21
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:44,636
Draper, Utah
a picturesque town
just outside of Salt Lake City

22
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:47,411
that could be a postcard
brought to life.

23
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,241
Draper is just a small
commuter town

24
00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:51,406
where a lot of people do work
in downtown Salt Lake.

25
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:53,315
They commute back and forth.

26
00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:59,287
It’s a very nice bedroom
community, very nice homes
and family oriented.

27
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,159
There are a lot of kids
in Utah,
a lot of larger families.

28
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:06,089
And so, it’s very common
for kids to just go out
in the neighborhood

29
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,026
and hang out
with their friends.

30
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:11,531
Draper is known to be a very
quiet community when it comes
to crime,

31
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:13,975
especially violent crime.

32
00:02:14,001 --> 00:02:16,401
It’s a very safe environment.

33
00:02:17,537 --> 00:02:19,667
[narrator] But on a peaceful
Sunday morning,

34
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:24,376
a chilling call
comes into 911
that rocks Draper to its core.

35
00:02:41,762 --> 00:02:43,202
About 10 am,

36
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:48,640
a jogger called to report
that he had seen a red shoe
in the water

37
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:50,069
in the Jordan River.

38
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:53,643
He was concerned because of
the amount of blood near that.

39
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:57,344
[narrator]
Officers race to the area
to investigate.

40
00:02:57,377 --> 00:03:00,177
The Jordan River cuts down
the middle of Salt Lake Valley

41
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:04,983
and along that there is a bike
and jogging path

42
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:09,088
and several bridges that cross
back and forth over the river.

43
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,762
When the police arrived
they saw
what the jogger had reported

44
00:03:11,792 --> 00:03:16,602
which was a lot of blood
in a specific area right near
the bridge closer to the river

45
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:20,900
and on one of the rocks
there was a really large area
of blood.

46
00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:24,544
[narrator] Officers search
for the source of the
significant amount of blood

47
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:27,711
but can’t find an injured
person or animal in the area.

48
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:29,782
We do a test.

49
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:31,440
It’s called a presumptive
blood test.

50
00:03:31,478 --> 00:03:33,108
It takes like five minutes

51
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:35,776
and then it’ll tell you
whether you’re dealing
with animal blood

52
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:37,676
or possible human blood.

53
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:39,218
The blood was human.

54
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:44,064
We realized something bad
has really happened.

55
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:46,931
[narrator] Investigators
turned their attention
to the red shoe

56
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,360
that the jogger spotted
at the scene.

57
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,926
It looked pretty new
and clean.

58
00:03:50,964 --> 00:03:53,574
It didn’t look like
it had been out there
for any period of time.

59
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:58,445
[narrator] Believing
the person could have ended up
in the Jordan River,

60
00:03:58,472 --> 00:04:01,542
police launch a helicopter
search of the area.

61
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:05,515
The helicopter was able to go
through the river much faster.

62
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:08,717
Down the stream of ways,

63
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:13,489
they found a body floating
in reeds in that area.

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,620
The police took several rafts
there to retrieve the body.

65
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:18,787
It was a young woman.

66
00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:20,525
She was missing her shoe

67
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,500
and on her other foot there
was a red shoe that matched
the one at the crime scene.

68
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:28,101
She had been in the water at
this point for several hours.

69
00:04:28,135 --> 00:04:30,805
And so, her body had swelled
a little bit.

70
00:04:30,837 --> 00:04:33,507
We didn’t know who she was
at that time.

71
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:39,250
She was initially described
as like in her twenties,
female.

72
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,579
[narrator]
Detective Travis Peterson
and CSI Alyssa McElreath

73
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:47,587
are tasked with investigating
the case of the murdered
Jane Doe.

74
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:50,021
When we arrived at the scene,

75
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:53,326
right away I could see
defensive wounds on her hands

76
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,200
and several abrasions
to her face.

77
00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:02,340
There was one very predominant
injury right here
on her forehead.

78
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:08,109
It was a very severe break
in this skull area which
is a very hard bone to break.

79
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:12,951
The cause of death
was blunt force trauma
from some hard object.

80
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:14,649
The types of injuries seen
in this case

81
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:19,121
we’re talking about a weapon
that would have both blunt
and sharp components to it.

82
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:23,522
Something that would be able
to cut but also bludgeon.

83
00:05:23,557 --> 00:05:26,057
Something like a garden spade
or shovel.

84
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960
It made it clear
that the person was
definitely very angry.

85
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,296
Any time that blunt force
is used,

86
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:36,072
it’s usually a sign of anger
and frustration.

87
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,570
Our first impression
and feeling

88
00:05:38,605 --> 00:05:42,985
was somebody close to her
had something to do
with her death.

89
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:47,249
Draper police department
put out a news release of the
person that was recovered,

90
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,920
described as wearing
a red plaid shirt, jeans
and red shoes.

91
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:56,557
[narrator] Meanwhile
across town,

92
00:05:56,590 --> 00:06:01,330
Veronica Kasprzak is desperate
to find her 15-year-old
daughter Annie

93
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,431
who has been missing
for almost 24 hours.

94
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:07,974
We were really concerned
because nothing like this had
ever happened before.

95
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:12,706
Sometime in the day,
my ex-husband calls me

96
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:16,379
and says that there was a body
in the river which was close
by our house,

97
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:17,939
and so, it was concerning.

98
00:06:17,978 --> 00:06:22,678
So we called the-- the police
department and I say,
"My daughter is missing.

99
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,116
We’re right in this area.

100
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:29,060
I just need some sort of
confirmation that it is
or isn’t her."

101
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:32,556
Annie’s parents were able
to provide information

102
00:06:32,592 --> 00:06:36,062
verifying that Annie had been
wearing red shoes

103
00:06:36,096 --> 00:06:39,196
and she had some type of
surgical scar on her abdomen

104
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,772
that was consistent with
the body that was recovered.

105
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:50,110
The police come
and they tell us
that it is Annie

106
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,983
and then they tell us
that somebody killed her.

107
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:57,824
I get this overwhelming rush

108
00:06:57,851 --> 00:07:00,091
and sinking feeling in my body

109
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,620
and then I became hysterical.

110
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:06,326
[narrator] Veronica can’t
imagine anyone wanting to harm
her adopted daughter,

111
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:11,059
15-year-old high school
freshman, Annie Kasprzak.

112
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:14,567
Annie was the oldest child
of her biological mother.

113
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:17,141
She was removed
at the age of three

114
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:21,810
and really struggled
in placement
in the foster care system.

115
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:27,111
I met Annie
for the first time
when she was turning eight.

116
00:07:27,147 --> 00:07:28,847
I was her caseworker.

117
00:07:28,882 --> 00:07:31,352
I had spent a lot of time
with her.

118
00:07:31,384 --> 00:07:34,954
She was just little and lively

119
00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:39,458
and I knew that getting
adopted was what she needs
to have a chance.

120
00:07:39,492 --> 00:07:42,462
Annie came to live with us
at about the age of ten

121
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:46,595
and she became
the immediate big sister.

122
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:52,313
My boys at the time were six
months old and three years old

123
00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:55,939
and they just loved
and idolized her

124
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,536
and that was really something
that she had been missing.

125
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,009
Annie had a huge heart.

126
00:08:01,047 --> 00:08:05,317
She didn’t want anybody
to feel alone or left out.

127
00:08:05,352 --> 00:08:06,722
She was in the ninth grade

128
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:11,623
and really embracing the idea
of going to high school,

129
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:14,658
hanging out with her friends,
starting to be able to be
allowed to date.

130
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,832
[narrator] To find Annie
Kasprzak’s killer,

131
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:26,238
detectives will need
to unravel the final 24 hours
of her life.

132
00:08:28,408 --> 00:08:33,008
Annie’s parents provided
information that the night
before on March 10th,

133
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:34,576
they had gone out
for the evening

134
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:38,824
and Annie had stayed home to
care for her younger brothers.

135
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,892
Around seven o’clock pm,

136
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,090
her parents Veronica and James
returned,

137
00:08:43,123 --> 00:08:46,363
Annie was there
and everything still appeared
to be just fine.

138
00:08:46,393 --> 00:08:48,093
[Peter]
Annie said she was going to go
down in her room

139
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:50,858
and that was the last time
that they had seen her.

140
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:52,627
That was around 7:45.

141
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,497
I was talking on the phone
to my sister.

142
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,835
We talked until about 8:40 pm

143
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:02,071
and then I go downstairs
fully expecting to find Annie
talking on the phone

144
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:03,578
and she’s not there.

145
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:07,510
And I yelled at my husband
that Annie’s not in her room.

146
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:11,577
I call the police and I report
her as a runaway.

147
00:09:11,618 --> 00:09:14,748
We wanted it noted
so that if she got in trouble

148
00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:17,118
or showed up somewhere else,
they would know to bring her
home.

149
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:20,957
[Travis]
So by 8:40 pm, Annie was gone.

150
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:24,264
So that narrows down
the window of what the time
of her death would be.

151
00:09:26,633 --> 00:09:28,233
[narrator] Veronica
tells detectives

152
00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:32,768
everything she’s learned about
Annie’s movements
following her disappearance.

153
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:37,236
Annie’s parents said
that they had the Find My
iPhone app on Annie’s phone

154
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:38,947
the night of March 10th

155
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:43,618
and they had information
showing that she was in
the area of a golf course.

156
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:48,050
The golf course
is basically the west bank
of the Jordan River area.

157
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:52,758
They tried calling several
times with no response,
no answer.

158
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:55,062
Annie’s parents thought that
if Annie were running away

159
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,735
that she would be running
to her boyfriend, Chris.

160
00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:00,834
So veronica called Chris
at 9:01.

161
00:10:00,867 --> 00:10:05,267
Veronica asked if Annie
was with him and he said no,
she was not with him.

162
00:10:05,305 --> 00:10:09,085
Annie’s phone died
at about 9:20 pm

163
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:12,009
and then the runner reported
seeing the blood and a shoe

164
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:13,655
the next morning at 10:00 am.

165
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:17,355
[narrator] Veronica tells
detectives she believes

166
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:22,193
the answer to who killed her
daughter lies in a note
Annie left behind.

167
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:25,962
[Alyssa] When Veronica went
to go check on Annie,
she found a runaway note.

168
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:28,092
In the note,
Annie made the statement

169
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,458
that she had told her friends
that she was pregnant

170
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:32,367
and that she had lied about it

171
00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:35,028
and she felt bad, so this
is why she’s running away.

172
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:38,568
She apologizes
and says that she’s running
off to California.

173
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:41,036
This isn’t the first time
we’ve heard

174
00:10:41,074 --> 00:10:42,844
that she’s told her friends
that she’s pregnant.

175
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:45,306
I’d had meetings
with the school counselor

176
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:48,015
where she had told
the counselor that she had
had sex and was pregnant.

177
00:10:48,047 --> 00:10:51,477
And I said, "No, she’s not.
We’ve been to the doctor."

178
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:53,648
We knew what she was doing.

179
00:10:53,686 --> 00:10:56,886
I think she lied to her
friends about being pregnant
for two reasons.

180
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,863
Number one, she really didn’t
want to be pregnant

181
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,163
and I think she had somehow
convinced herself

182
00:11:02,195 --> 00:11:04,565
sometime soon
that she would be pregnant.

183
00:11:04,597 --> 00:11:10,167
She wanted to... to feel
that level of... of connection

184
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:13,813
and I think it was her way
to be the center,

185
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,810
to be the drama,
to have their attention,
to have their support.

186
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:20,654
[Keira]
Adolescence is an overly
traumatic time.

187
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,350
It’s a time of storm
and stress.

188
00:11:22,382 --> 00:11:25,582
And so, I think why people,
you know, may invent
pregnancies

189
00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:29,018
it’s wish fulfillment.
I want to be needed.
I want to be loved.

190
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:30,715
I want to have something
to love,

191
00:11:30,757 --> 00:11:33,987
or how do I sort out this
social milieu in ways

192
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:36,227
that, you know, I can cope
and deal with.

193
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:38,830
[narrator] Veronica tells
investigators

194
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,505
that whenever Annie had told
them she was pregnant,

195
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:45,604
she always declared her
on-again off-again boyfriend,
Chris Bagshaw

196
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:47,508
was the baby’s father.

197
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:51,110
Annie’s parents made it
very clear
that Annie was close to Chris.

198
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:58,424
That they believed that if she
were to run away that Chris
would be involved with that.

199
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:04,123
So it did point detectives
immediately toward Chris,

200
00:12:04,157 --> 00:12:07,557
to find him, to find out
where he was around the time
of her death.

201
00:12:12,165 --> 00:12:14,435
[narrator]
15-year-old, Annie Kasprzak

202
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:18,467
has been found
brutally murdered
and dumped in a local river.

203
00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:21,474
Police already have their
first person of interest,

204
00:12:21,507 --> 00:12:25,977
Annie’s 14-year-old boyfriend,
Chris Bagshaw.

205
00:12:26,012 --> 00:12:31,552
Annie met Chris about a year
before she died,
almost exactly.

206
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:35,194
He was the same age as she was
and the same grade
that she was.

207
00:12:35,221 --> 00:12:40,491
Chris lived in an apartment
with his dad which was also
right next to his grandmother.

208
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:43,156
He wasn’t quite the outwardly
bad boy,

209
00:12:43,196 --> 00:12:47,166
but he would make comments
such as nobody’s really going
to love me,

210
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,040
which to Annie was like
the ultimate challenge.

211
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,040
"Wait a second, you think
nobody’s going to love you?

212
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:54,812
Well, guess what?
I’m going to."

213
00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:58,841
And so, it was like she was
trying to convince him

214
00:12:58,878 --> 00:13:01,578
that he was loved
and that he was lovable.

215
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:04,054
And he would pull her in
and then push her back

216
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,323
and they had the
quintessential teenage,

217
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:09,492
"I love you, I hate you",
relationship.

218
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:13,162
[narrator] Looking for clues
that could unravel the mystery
of Annie’s murder,

219
00:13:13,192 --> 00:13:15,902
investigators search
the teen’s bedroom.

220
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:20,528
When we searched her room,
there were storage tubs
of all of her journal entries,

221
00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:23,196
just plain notebooks
and journals everywhere.

222
00:13:23,236 --> 00:13:25,236
She loved to doodle
and she loved to write.

223
00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:27,741
She was a great
little poet too.

224
00:13:27,774 --> 00:13:34,014
Annie used her journal entries
as a way of venting
or getting stuff out.

225
00:13:34,047 --> 00:13:35,917
There were comments
about several things

226
00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:38,678
that she had going on in
her world at that time.

227
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:42,118
There were a lot of details
in reference to Chris.

228
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,125
There were comments made
about being pregnant.

229
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:47,387
There were comments made
about running away.

230
00:13:47,427 --> 00:13:51,527
One of the things
the detectives noticed,
there was a timeline in there.

231
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:55,234
She had documented that
around March 1st,

232
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:57,868
Chris learned about the fact
that she was pregnant.

233
00:13:57,904 --> 00:14:01,914
So, we have Chris learning
about Annie being pregnant
on March 1st

234
00:14:01,941 --> 00:14:03,281
according to her journal,

235
00:14:03,309 --> 00:14:07,479
and her running away, and then
found deceased March 10th.

236
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,753
Obviously, the timeline
became very concerning

237
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:13,792
in reference to Chris’s
possible involvement.

238
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:18,420
One of the first things
you have to find in a murder
case is... is a motive.

239
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:21,158
Then we see very near the time
that she was murdered,

240
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,904
less than two weeks before,
Chris finds out
she was pregnant.

241
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:25,300
Now, we knew
she wasn’t pregnant,

242
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:31,241
but what she wrote there
was that she had told him
that she was,

243
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,470
and two weeks later
she’s found in a river.

244
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:38,612
[narrator] To establish
whether Annie and Chris
had contact

245
00:14:38,644 --> 00:14:40,154
the night of the murder,

246
00:14:40,179 --> 00:14:42,409
police pull her cell phone
records.

247
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:45,948
[Travis]
That night there were several
calls between Annie and Chris

248
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,845
up until almost nine o’clock.

249
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:49,317
There were lengthy
phone calls,

250
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:52,285
others that would have been
a missed call
or not answered call.

251
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:53,735
With the number of phone calls

252
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,460
it appeared that there was
some type of issue
between Annie and Chris.

253
00:14:57,497 --> 00:15:01,027
[Peter]
Chris had reported to Veronica
in that 9:01 pm phone call

254
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:02,467
the night of Annie’s
disappearance,

255
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:04,172
that he wasn’t with Annie
that night.

256
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:06,343
He hadn’t seen her,
hadn’t talked to her.

257
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:10,542
So, now those phone records
certainly started to raise
red flags

258
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:13,146
about his interaction
with Annie that night.

259
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,880
[narrator] To get more
answers,

260
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,545
detectives pay a visit
to Chris at his house.

261
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:21,719
We’re talking with Chris
and his father,

262
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:24,524
asking if he knew anything
about Annie being killed.

263
00:15:24,557 --> 00:15:28,387
At that point, Chris started
to get really red
and flustered

264
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:31,628
and I also noticed he’s got
brand new shoes on,

265
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:34,704
so we asked for clothes
and his shoes

266
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:36,374
that he was wearing
that night.

267
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,302
And as he was about to hand
them to me,

268
00:15:38,337 --> 00:15:40,067
he just wanted to give me
a heads up

269
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:42,706
that earlier in March,
Annie had a bloody nose

270
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:44,512
and some of her blood
got on his shoes.

271
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:49,179
[narrator] With Chris’ story
raising more red flags,

272
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:52,085
investigators hone in
on his timeline.

273
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:54,718
He said that the last time
he had seen Annie

274
00:15:54,754 --> 00:15:57,264
was like Wednesday or Thursday
of the week prior.

275
00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:00,260
That he’d seen her while
they were hanging out at their
friend Spencer’s house

276
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:04,233
and he hadn’t seen her
or talked to her since.

277
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:08,403
We did confront him about
the multiple calls that he had
had with Annie

278
00:16:08,434 --> 00:16:10,074
in the night in question.

279
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:11,742
And then his story changed.

280
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:31,520
[Travis] We asked Chris
about what he was doing
on the night in question.

281
00:16:31,557 --> 00:16:33,427
Chris said that he was at home

282
00:16:33,459 --> 00:16:37,459
and then received a call
from his dad around 7:45

283
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:40,567
letting Chris know
that he would be coming home
with a friend

284
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,740
and that Chris was to go spend
the night at his grandma’s
house

285
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:47,309
which is two or three doors
down from his in the apartment
complex.

286
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:50,280
Chris said that he put
some clothes together,

287
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:54,579
went to his grandma’s house
initially for a couple minutes
just to leave his stuff

288
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:57,324
and then he walked
to a friend’s house.

289
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,920
When he got to the friend’s
house, nobody answered
the door,

290
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:02,152
so he immediately returned
to his grandma’s house.

291
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:04,658
He arrived there right around
nine o’clock

292
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,260
and played video games,
watched movies

293
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:10,603
until he fell asleep sometime
around 11:30 that night.

294
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:11,960
We interviewed his grandma

295
00:17:11,998 --> 00:17:16,498
and she did verify the--
the events of Chris’ actions
that night.

296
00:17:17,603 --> 00:17:20,143
[Alyssa]
With Chris having an alibi
for the night,

297
00:17:20,172 --> 00:17:23,442
we weren’t looking at him
as the suspect anymore.

298
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:27,311
[narrator] With Chris’ alibi
clearing him,

299
00:17:27,346 --> 00:17:31,616
investigators focused
their attention on Annie’s
supposed pregnancy.

300
00:17:31,651 --> 00:17:35,421
We talked to Chris about his
relationship with Annie.

301
00:17:35,454 --> 00:17:38,024
It was different
than what Annie had described
in her journals.

302
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:40,457
Chris described it as more
of a friendship

303
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:45,833
and they had been sexually
involved or had sexual contact
one time.

304
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:48,275
Chris said that he was told
by Annie she was pregnant

305
00:17:48,301 --> 00:17:50,341
and that it was not his.

306
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:54,439
He’d revealed that Annie
was telling him an individual
named LJ

307
00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:56,213
was the father of the baby.

308
00:18:10,523 --> 00:18:11,863
[Travis] LJ was older.

309
00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:15,891
He lived up in Ogden, Utah
and he had a criminal history.

310
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:21,628
Chris described LJ
as a gang member connected
with a gang in California.

311
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:25,897
Chris was very vocal
and verbal about concerns
they had about LJ.

312
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:28,312
There are local gangs here

313
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:30,481
because we live in the western
United States,

314
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:33,209
sometimes there is an
affiliation or an association

315
00:18:33,245 --> 00:18:35,405
with southern California
gangs.

316
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:40,688
There is a potential that
the place Annie was saying
she was going California

317
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,820
had some sort of a tie to this
person who had ties to gangs.

318
00:18:45,858 --> 00:18:50,398
[narrator]
Chris tells detectives that
LJ belongs to the Bloods gang.

319
00:18:50,429 --> 00:18:54,199
The West Side Bloods
are a pretty infamous
and ruthless street gang,

320
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:56,003
among the most dangerous
in California.

321
00:18:56,035 --> 00:19:01,715
So you’re talking apex
predators even among other
violent street criminals.

322
00:19:01,741 --> 00:19:06,781
Like most gangs, their markets
if you will, run the gamut.

323
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:12,382
Prostitution, trafficking
in people and narcotics,
then of course, murder.

324
00:19:12,418 --> 00:19:15,388
[Travis] Chris said that he
communicated with LJ one time.

325
00:19:15,421 --> 00:19:17,361
LJ made threats against him.

326
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:19,730
It seemed to be
because LJ might be jealous

327
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:23,259
or concerned that Annie
had such a close relationship
with Chris.

328
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,527
[narrator] To validate Chris’s
statements,

329
00:19:26,565 --> 00:19:30,735
investigators turned
to Annie’s close friend
Spencer Crittel.

330
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:33,640
Spencer and Chris and Annie
were this little trio

331
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:39,213
where the three of them
were often going around
and hanging out.

332
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:41,955
[Travis]
Spencer had said that Annie
had called him a couple times

333
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:43,551
before Annie went missing.

334
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:44,982
He’d missed the calls.

335
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:47,317
She did leave voicemails
for him.

336
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:51,323
She seemed to be upset,
but he said that he did not
talk to her that night

337
00:19:51,357 --> 00:19:54,157
and that the last time
he’d seen her was middle
of the week

338
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:59,733
prior when Chris
and others were with Annie
and him at his house.

339
00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:02,795
[Peter] At that time Spencer
corroborated Chris’s claim

340
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:05,305
that Annie got this
bloody nose.

341
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:10,077
He said, "Yeah, we were
all over here and Annie
just got a bloody nose.

342
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:11,539
It was really weird."

343
00:20:11,577 --> 00:20:16,177
He also told us that Annie
and Chris were friends
more than anything.

344
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:21,345
[Travis] But Spencer also
indicated that she did have
a boyfriend named LJ.

345
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:27,287
Spencer’s report of LJ
was that he had hacked
into Annie’s email

346
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:33,196
and sent a scary message
to her that was intended for
Chris and Spencer had seen it.

347
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:37,542
Spencer also described LJ
as a violent person,

348
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:42,170
so now Chris and Spencer
both made statements

349
00:20:42,208 --> 00:20:46,808
about the fact that Annie had
told them that LJ would hurt
them or could hurt her.

350
00:20:46,846 --> 00:20:51,446
She described LJ
as being very aggressive

351
00:20:51,484 --> 00:20:55,894
and would definitely do
what he needed to do
to get what he wanted.

352
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:58,961
The question is, was he
responsible for this crime?

353
00:20:58,991 --> 00:21:02,031
Could she have met up with LJ
to run away with him

354
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:05,131
only to find that his jealousy
had reached a boiling point,

355
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:08,404
to the point that he beat her
to death in a fit of rage?

356
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:16,643
[narrator] In the brutal
murder of high school
freshman, Annie Kasprzak

357
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:20,145
investigators are zeroing in
on a prime suspect,

358
00:21:20,179 --> 00:21:25,179
Annie’s secret boyfriend
and alleged gang member LJ.

359
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:29,147
There was a cloud of mystery
around LJ when it came
to Annie and her friends.

360
00:21:29,188 --> 00:21:33,388
She kind of chose
what she told some people
and not other people.

361
00:21:33,425 --> 00:21:35,825
Some friends thought
she was making a mistake

362
00:21:35,861 --> 00:21:38,661
hanging out with somebody
that had gang ties.

363
00:21:38,697 --> 00:21:44,097
Annie was trying to embrace
living on the edge.

364
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:47,766
She had known some girls
when she was in
a treatment center

365
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:50,837
that had some genuine
gang affiliations.

366
00:21:50,876 --> 00:21:54,176
And so, she had kind of
adopted this idea,

367
00:21:54,213 --> 00:21:56,213
"Well, here’s a different way
of belonging.

368
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:58,748
Well, here’s another type
of family."

369
00:21:58,784 --> 00:22:00,754
She also indicated
to one of her friends

370
00:22:00,786 --> 00:22:04,756
that if she had to pick
a gang, she would be a Blood.

371
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:08,560
[narrator] Detectives wonder
if this is Annie’s way
of supporting LJ,

372
00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:10,904
a member of the West Side
Bloods.

373
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:12,700
A lot of Annie’s friends
had knowledge

374
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:15,271
of the fact that Annie said
that she was pregnant

375
00:22:15,301 --> 00:22:17,371
and that LJ was the father
of her baby,

376
00:22:17,403 --> 00:22:20,813
but they were aware that Annie
was telling people that Chris
was the father

377
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,540
because she was concerned
about what her parents
would think.

378
00:22:23,576 --> 00:22:28,106
None of Annie’s friends were
able to provide anything
about what LJ looked like.

379
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:32,247
We didn’t have a full name
from them or anybody
connected to him.

380
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:34,054
We didn’t know who LJ was.

381
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:37,456
Just that he was known
or at least said to be
a violent person.

382
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:41,029
It was very concerning.
We needed to figure out
who he was.

383
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,434
We contacted the gang units.

384
00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:47,103
We made contacts with all
the surrounding agencies

385
00:22:47,132 --> 00:22:51,502
to see if they had kids
with gang affiliations
with the moniker LJ

386
00:22:51,537 --> 00:22:53,907
and were never able to come
back with anything

387
00:22:53,939 --> 00:22:57,109
close to how we were described
he is.

388
00:22:57,142 --> 00:23:00,752
[narrator] Unable to locate
Annie’s mysterious boyfriend
LJ,

389
00:23:00,779 --> 00:23:04,179
investigators shift course
looking for new leads.

390
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,916
We received a call from west
Jordan Police Department

391
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:10,492
advising us that detectives
had a witness there

392
00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:13,162
that was being investigated
for a financial crime

393
00:23:13,192 --> 00:23:16,032
and that witness was providing
information

394
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:21,331
indicating that she had
witnessed Annie being beaten
and assaulted.

395
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,508
We went over to interview her.

396
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:33,180
She provided very detailed
information about the night
of March 10th.

397
00:23:33,212 --> 00:23:36,052
This witness that comes
forward, this woman, Heather,

398
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:38,381
she gives us the name
Daniel Ferry

399
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:43,587
and she says she had witnessed
the killing of Annie Kasprzak
at Daniel Ferry’s hands.

400
00:23:44,523 --> 00:23:46,063
I did recognize the name.

401
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:50,731
[Travis] Daniel Ferry had been
investigated and charged
with crimes in the past.

402
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:53,370
He had a history of violence.

403
00:23:53,399 --> 00:23:59,239
He certainly fit the idea
of a person who might do
something like this.

404
00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:04,081
He was involved in the drug
world and was reported as
being a very violent person.

405
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:07,479
At that point detectives
asked, "Do you know
anyone named LJ?"

406
00:24:07,513 --> 00:24:10,653
And she immediately said,
"Well, yeah.
I know a guy named LJ."

407
00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:14,823
And she gave the name
of somebody that the initials
lined up,

408
00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:18,493
where in the gang world he may
have adopted that moniker.

409
00:24:18,524 --> 00:24:20,394
And she gave a description
of him

410
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:22,656
and also that he was
from California

411
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:27,405
which goes back to the note
where Annie said
she was running away to.

412
00:24:27,433 --> 00:24:29,873
[narrator] Believing
the confidential informant,
Heather,

413
00:24:29,902 --> 00:24:31,942
could break the case
wide open.

414
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:36,441
Detectives questioned her
about March 10th,
the night Annie was murdered.

415
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:42,245
She stated that that night LJ
and Annie had shuttled up
to Daniel Ferry’s house.

416
00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:45,921
[Travis] This witness said
that Annie had been out
in the garage with LJ,

417
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:48,851
believed that LJ and Annie
had had sex.

418
00:24:48,887 --> 00:24:50,957
When Annie came back
into the house,

419
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:56,190
Daniel told Annie it was
his turn and she refused.

420
00:24:56,228 --> 00:25:03,068
Daniel was very upset about
this, grabbed Annie by the--
the neck and head area.

421
00:25:03,102 --> 00:25:07,212
Danny had told one of his
other friends, "We need
to take out the trash."

422
00:25:07,239 --> 00:25:10,009
And then they had taken
her away.

423
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080
When they returned,
she described their clothes
as having blood on them.

424
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:23,917
When she asked where Annie
was, one of them told her that
Annie had gone swimming,

425
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:28,286
kind of a sarcastic response
to her question.

426
00:25:28,327 --> 00:25:32,427
The clear implication there
was that she had ended up
in the river.

427
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:39,073
It’s not often you get
a first-hand witness

428
00:25:39,104 --> 00:25:44,344
to an interaction
with the victim right before
the victim dies.

429
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,236
This woman who was talking
to the police,

430
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:49,408
police were investigating
for another crime.

431
00:25:49,448 --> 00:25:54,348
So anytime you’re dealing
with an informant, you do have
to take with a grain of salt.

432
00:25:55,687 --> 00:25:57,457
When we were putting
everything together,

433
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,319
Annie’s phone records
for that night

434
00:25:59,358 --> 00:26:04,698
showed there were also phone
calls Annie received from
an unknown or blocked caller.

435
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:07,670
So from information provided
from Annie’s friends

436
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:11,939
and then also now this witness
and then what this witness
personally observed,

437
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:16,680
we were very concerned
that Daniel Ferry and LJ
were involved with her death.

438
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:22,378
Things that are lining up,
it’s all pointing that we’re
going in the right direction.

439
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:26,794
[narrator]
When detectives search for LJ,
they don’t have to go far.

440
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:28,849
[Alyssa] We found him
in the jail system.

441
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:32,487
[Travis] During the interview,
we’d learned that he did know
Daniel Ferry,

442
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:35,564
but he denied being with
Daniel Ferry on the night
in question,

443
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:39,304
said he was not at that house
and had no clue who Annie was.

444
00:26:39,331 --> 00:26:44,641
And then he made statements
about the fact that his
nickname was LG not LJ.

445
00:26:44,670 --> 00:26:49,170
So that raised some suspicion
to the statements provided
by that witness,

446
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:50,408
which led to some question

447
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:53,582
to whether or not
LJ was really involved
in Annie’s death.

448
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:55,412
After a short interview,

449
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:58,547
it becomes more apparent
that he has nothing to do
with the case

450
00:26:58,584 --> 00:27:02,224
and he also was locked up
in the jail
during the time of her murder.

451
00:27:02,254 --> 00:27:06,024
So we were able to dismiss
LJ as a suspect.

452
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,230
[narrator] With the man
known as LJ
appearing to be a dead end,

453
00:27:12,264 --> 00:27:15,774
detectives turned
their attention to their other
potential suspect,

454
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:18,501
local drug dealer,
Daniel Ferry.

455
00:27:18,537 --> 00:27:24,237
I interviewed Daniel Ferry
and Daniel denied having
any knowledge of Annie.

456
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:27,146
He said he didn’t know
anything about what happened
to her.

457
00:27:37,422 --> 00:27:38,722
[Travis] We did push Daniel,

458
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:42,387
but he adamantly denied
that he was involved
in Annie’s death.

459
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:46,197
Daniel said that on the night
in question,
when Annie went missing

460
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:48,201
that he did have people
to his house.

461
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:52,073
That the witness was there.
So all of that was verified.

462
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:55,074
Daniel also denied
that there was an LJ there.

463
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:11,116
Short time later,
Daniel invoked his right
to an attorney

464
00:28:11,156 --> 00:28:14,156
and we did not ask
any additional questions.

465
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:18,498
[narrator] Unable to speak
with Daniel further,

466
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,500
police do a deep dive
into his background.

467
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:25,603
We learned that Daniel Ferry
did have a nickname that
he used at one point in time

468
00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:26,967
of Little Joe.

469
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:29,105
Obviously having the initials
LJ

470
00:28:29,141 --> 00:28:31,941
brought some suspicion as to
whether or not he was the LJ

471
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:34,277
that’s being referenced
by Chris.

472
00:28:36,281 --> 00:28:39,121
[narrator] With suspicion
swirling around Daniel Ferry,

473
00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:42,351
police get a search warrant
for his house.

474
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:46,357
When we arrived
at Daniel Ferry’s house,
the carpet was gone.

475
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,491
You could tell that they were
painting in the house.

476
00:28:48,527 --> 00:28:51,257
There were several cleaning
attempts made.

477
00:28:51,296 --> 00:28:55,266
There were signs like
the floor-- the carpet
being pulled up,

478
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:57,340
new flooring being put in,

479
00:28:57,369 --> 00:29:01,339
all those go to line up
that there’s something
that happened in the house

480
00:29:01,373 --> 00:29:05,183
and there’s something
they’re doing to cover it up.

481
00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:06,850
[Travis]
There was damage to the wall

482
00:29:06,878 --> 00:29:11,378
in areas that were consistent
with what the witness had
provided about seeing

483
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:15,146
that Daniel grabbed Annie,
rammed her head into a wall

484
00:29:15,187 --> 00:29:17,487
where she went to the ground
unconscious,

485
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:22,062
along with some small areas
that appeared to be blood
on the walls.

486
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:25,864
Annie’s murder could
have happened there.
It was very concerning.

487
00:29:27,432 --> 00:29:28,802
He had a criminal history.

488
00:29:28,834 --> 00:29:33,104
He was a very violent
aggressive person.

489
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:37,209
At this point,
they arrested Danny

490
00:29:37,242 --> 00:29:40,582
for probable cause
of Annie’s murder.

491
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:48,520
[narrator] Detectives
have local drug dealer,
Daniel Ferry in custody

492
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:51,623
on suspicion of Annie Kasprzak
brutal murder.

493
00:29:52,691 --> 00:29:56,691
Danny had outstanding warrants
on other cases

494
00:29:56,728 --> 00:30:00,398
and this gave the police
a small window of time

495
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:03,572
to try to corroborate
the witness Heather’s story

496
00:30:03,602 --> 00:30:08,272
that indeed it was Annie
at Danny’s house the night
that Annie was murdered.

497
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:11,707
There were different samples
that were collected
from Daniel Ferry’s house

498
00:30:11,743 --> 00:30:16,583
to find forensic evidence
to show what happened
or who was involved.

499
00:30:16,615 --> 00:30:20,425
[narrator] As detectives await
the lab results from Daniel
Ferry’s house,

500
00:30:20,452 --> 00:30:22,252
they pull his phone records.

501
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:25,387
[Peter]
They looked into where Danny
was at the time of the murder

502
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:30,804
and his phone records didn’t
put him anywhere near Danny’s
house or the crime scene.

503
00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:34,700
[narrator]
Then the DNA results come back

504
00:30:34,733 --> 00:30:37,303
and they are positive
for human blood.

505
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:40,606
Every sample that they tested,
the blood that was found
on the wall

506
00:30:40,639 --> 00:30:42,139
, the blood that was found
on the floor,

507
00:30:42,174 --> 00:30:45,744
any other blood that was found
was not Annie’s blood.

508
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:50,817
So that exonerated Danny
of being with or around Annie
that night.

509
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:56,895
Now, you had problems
with Heather’s story

510
00:30:56,922 --> 00:31:00,332
because it didn’t match
the scientific evidence.

511
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:06,259
The night of March 10th,
Danny actually was committing
a violent crime,

512
00:31:06,298 --> 00:31:08,168
but it wasn’t against
Annie Kasprzak.

513
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,740
He was actually tormenting
somebody else.

514
00:31:11,770 --> 00:31:15,140
There was a girl that owed him
drug money
that he had kidnapped

515
00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:17,813
and used her
as a human dart board

516
00:31:17,843 --> 00:31:21,683
and we were able to rule out
that he didn’t have anything
to do with Annie Kasprzak.

517
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:26,748
[narrator] With Daniel Ferry
no longer a suspect
in the case,

518
00:31:26,785 --> 00:31:29,495
investigators circle back
to the witness, Heather,

519
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:31,961
who misled police
about Annie’s murder.

520
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:33,630
[Travis] We asked her why?

521
00:31:33,658 --> 00:31:37,698
And her response was basically
that she knew
something bad happened

522
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:39,359
at Daniel Ferry’s that night.

523
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:41,198
She felt like Daniel
was dangerous

524
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:44,673
and that he should be charged
for what he did to somebody.

525
00:31:44,703 --> 00:31:48,013
[narrator]
Heather also confessed
to manipulating the details

526
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:51,609
she provided to police
regarding Annie and LJ.

527
00:31:51,643 --> 00:31:54,213
[Travis]
She had heard the information
about Annie

528
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:56,376
being found deceased
on the news.

529
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:59,525
And she admitted that
when she was asked about LJ

530
00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:02,951
that she made stuff up
as she went along
just to make it believable

531
00:32:02,988 --> 00:32:05,388
and it was just a coincidence
that some of the facts
lined up

532
00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:07,034
with what we knew them to be.

533
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:11,204
[Alyssa]
So we have just wasted
all this time?

534
00:32:11,229 --> 00:32:14,199
It’s very frustrating
to investigators,

535
00:32:14,232 --> 00:32:17,472
but that’s what we do,
we’ve to follow the evidence.

536
00:32:17,502 --> 00:32:20,912
So we have to go back
to the drawing board
and start over again.

537
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:24,839
This is really where the metal
of investigators
is so important,

538
00:32:24,876 --> 00:32:27,376
despite the fact that
you’ve hit these roadblocks,

539
00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:30,352
that you’ve been detoured
to look at these red herrings,

540
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:33,082
at the end of the day
you have to dust yourself off,

541
00:32:33,118 --> 00:32:36,388
you have the murder
of a 15-year-old girl
to investigate and assault

542
00:32:36,421 --> 00:32:38,521
and that killer is still out
there.

543
00:32:38,557 --> 00:32:40,557
As we continue to investigate
more,

544
00:32:40,592 --> 00:32:43,732
we’re still going back
to Annie’s phone records
and journals

545
00:32:43,762 --> 00:32:47,432
and it becomes more apparent
that there’s probably not
an LJ.

546
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:51,996
This is just something
that Annie probably made up
for Chris.

547
00:32:52,037 --> 00:32:57,437
[narrator] With yet another
suspect ruled out,
the investigation hits a wall.

548
00:32:57,476 --> 00:33:02,676
In search of new leads
investigators circle back
to Annie’s close friends.

549
00:33:02,714 --> 00:33:05,454
They went back
to the main person of interest
which was Chris.

550
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:07,294
Everyone had mentioned Chris.

551
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,219
The person that Annie seemed
closest to was Chris.

552
00:33:10,255 --> 00:33:13,765
The person tied to
this pregnancy by all accounts
was Chris.

553
00:33:13,792 --> 00:33:15,932
[Travis]
Annie’s friends also provided
information

554
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:20,261
that Danny was concerned
that Chris was not happy
about her being pregnant.

555
00:33:20,298 --> 00:33:22,868
That definitely led to some
concern and suspicion

556
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:27,471
that Chris might have a desire
to stop all of that happening.

557
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:31,376
[narrator]
Investigators zero in on Annie
and Chris’s cell phone records

558
00:33:31,409 --> 00:33:35,909
looking to uncover what really
happened to Annie
the night of March 10th.

559
00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:38,777
[Travis] We learned that there
were some text messages
that had been deleted

560
00:33:38,817 --> 00:33:40,447
that Chris had sent to Spencer

561
00:33:40,485 --> 00:33:44,815
the day that Spencer
told detectives
about Annie’s nosebleed.

562
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:48,426
In the messages, Chris
was basically telling Spencer

563
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:52,660
that he wanted Spencer
to verify that Annie did have
a nosebleed,

564
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:54,567
if and when he was interviewed
by the police,

565
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:57,199
so that it was consistent
with Chris’s statement.

566
00:33:58,503 --> 00:34:00,643
The police talked to Spencer,
again,

567
00:34:00,672 --> 00:34:03,942
this teenage kid who had been
thrust into this situation.

568
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:06,405
Spencer pretty quickly
came clean.

569
00:34:06,444 --> 00:34:09,514
He recanted and said he didn’t
remember the bloody nose,

570
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:13,178
but he had said that
it happened because Chris
had told him to.

571
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:16,518
So now the police have
not only blood on the shoes,

572
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:20,595
not only a artificial story
about that blood,

573
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:25,695
but a clear desire from Chris
to get rid of that evidence,
to try to explain it away.

574
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,631
Then Spencer provided
information

575
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:31,667
that Chris was upset
about Annie being pregnant,

576
00:34:31,703 --> 00:34:35,143
that Chris was concerned
that he was the father.

577
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:38,883
Spencer tells us that there
was an argument that happened
that night

578
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:40,950
between Chris and Annie

579
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:45,149
and that Chris did in fact
go down to the river
where they had a fight.

580
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:51,319
[narrator]
To establish if Chris had
the opportunity to kill Annie,

581
00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:55,326
investigators take a closer
look at his phone records.

582
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,470
The night of March 10th
between 6:01 pm and 8:59 pm,

583
00:35:00,498 --> 00:35:03,968
Chris and Annie had spoke
ten times.

584
00:35:04,002 --> 00:35:07,572
In reference to the blocked
numbers that called Annie
on that night,

585
00:35:07,606 --> 00:35:11,576
we learned that Chris had been
dialing star six seven
to dial Annie’s number

586
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:12,840
which blocked
his phone number,

587
00:35:12,877 --> 00:35:15,547
so that Annie wouldn’t know
that Chris was the one
calling.

588
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:19,220
At this point
we were very suspicious about
what was going on that night

589
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:20,590
and his involvement.

590
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:28,230
At 9:01 Chris was telling
Veronica he hadn’t seen Annie
when she called him...

591
00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:32,259
but Draper detectives
were able to get cell tower
information

592
00:35:32,297 --> 00:35:34,497
from Chris’s phone
on March 10th

593
00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:37,872
and the cell tower information
painted a pretty clear picture

594
00:35:37,902 --> 00:35:42,612
that Chris was not where Chris
had said that he was
at his grandmother’s house.

595
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:44,881
That information showed us

596
00:35:44,909 --> 00:35:49,549
at 9:01 Chris was in the area
of the Jordan River

597
00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:53,121
near the bridge
where Annie was killed.

598
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:57,221
With Chris already having
an alibi, his grandma saying
that he was there the night

599
00:35:57,255 --> 00:36:00,785
that point we weren’t looking
at him as serious,

600
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:05,125
but now seeing the phone pings
on the towers for his phone

601
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,403
that we realized there was no
way he was home.

602
00:36:07,432 --> 00:36:10,942
Those phone pings
could be what seals his fate.

603
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:17,914
[narrator] Investigators
are working the theory

604
00:36:17,942 --> 00:36:22,452
that Chris Bagshaw killed
his 15-year-old girlfriend,
Annie Kasprzak,

605
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,780
believing she was pregnant
with his baby.

606
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:30,224
To prove their theory, they
need to break Chris’s alibi.

607
00:36:30,255 --> 00:36:34,135
Chris’s phone records showed
his grandmother called him
that night

608
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:39,159
and we didn’t understand
why she would need to call him
if he was at her house,

609
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,827
but Chris was at the river
that night with Annie.

610
00:36:43,001 --> 00:36:45,501
Through very good
investigation

611
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:48,807
and very credible cell phone
triangulation evidence,

612
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,480
they were able to put him
indisputably at the scene.

613
00:36:55,647 --> 00:36:59,147
[narrator] Investigators
charge Chris Bagshaw
with Annie’s murder

614
00:36:59,184 --> 00:37:02,524
and obstruction of justice
for lying to police.

615
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:06,794
Chris was a juvenile, 14 years
old at the time of the murder.

616
00:37:06,825 --> 00:37:11,165
Juvenile courts in Utah
only have jurisdiction over
somebody until they’re 21.

617
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:13,256
So Chris would only serve
a couple years

618
00:37:13,298 --> 00:37:16,528
in some type of juvenile
correctional facility.

619
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:18,868
There’s a process that
the prosecutors go through

620
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:23,443
to certify Chris as an adult
to be tried in adult court.

621
00:37:23,475 --> 00:37:29,055
Young offenders are usually
given some level of leniency,

622
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,480
but in this case
with Chris Bagshaw,

623
00:37:31,516 --> 00:37:34,186
the ruthlessness
of this murder

624
00:37:34,219 --> 00:37:36,649
and luring her to the bridge

625
00:37:36,688 --> 00:37:40,928
earmarks him
to an adult offender status.

626
00:37:43,228 --> 00:37:45,898
During the process of Chris
being charged in adult court,

627
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:50,170
we learned that there was
a cellmate that was
incarcerated with Chris

628
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:54,741
that came forward and said
that Chris had confessed
to him that he did kill Annie.

629
00:37:54,773 --> 00:38:00,213
He described accurate details
about Annie’s injuries
and how they occurred.

630
00:38:00,245 --> 00:38:02,315
This witness that comes
forward tells us

631
00:38:02,347 --> 00:38:06,417
that it was the shovel
that caused all the damage
on Annie.

632
00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:08,691
[narrator] With Chris’s
jailhouse confession,

633
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,330
investigators are able to
piece together the final hours
of Annie Kasprzak’s life.

634
00:38:14,359 --> 00:38:18,559
On March 10th, Annie
had a normal evening.

635
00:38:18,596 --> 00:38:22,196
Her parents went out for
dinner while she watched her
younger siblings.

636
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,671
While Annie’s parents
were out,

637
00:38:24,702 --> 00:38:27,872
[Travis]
Annie received a telephone
call from Chris at 6:01

638
00:38:27,906 --> 00:38:30,006
and there was a dispute.

639
00:38:30,041 --> 00:38:34,951
Annie was still sticking
with her story that she was
pregnant with Chris’s baby,

640
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,749
not telling Chris that she
really wasn’t pregnant.

641
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:39,422
She told him she wanted
to run away.

642
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,920
She told him that she wanted
him to go with her
and he agreed,

643
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:46,364
but Chris’s actual plan
was to get Annie alone

644
00:38:46,391 --> 00:38:50,191
so that he could follow
through with killing her.

645
00:38:50,228 --> 00:38:54,428
[Alyssa] Seven o’clock,
Annie’s parents come home.
They talk for a little bit.

646
00:38:54,465 --> 00:38:58,435
7:45, Annie goes down
to her room.

647
00:38:58,469 --> 00:39:03,739
[Travis]
8:40 pm, Annie had snuck out
of her room and left a note.

648
00:39:03,775 --> 00:39:09,155
Chris was at the Jordan River
parkway to meet up with Annie
and he had a shovel.

649
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:15,290
[Peter]
At 8:56, Annie was in the
area of the Jordan River.

650
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,760
[narrator] At 9:01 pm, Chris
answered Veronica’s call
with Annie at his side.

651
00:39:25,930 --> 00:39:29,500
After that call,
he took that shovel

652
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:31,744
and he beat Annie repeatedly
with the shovel

653
00:39:31,769 --> 00:39:36,069
despite her pleas, despite
her telling him, "Why are you
doing this? I love you."

654
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:38,307
This was a beating,
a savage beating

655
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:40,613
and he made sure
that she was dead...

656
00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:45,620
and then he rolled her
into the river.

657
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,021
Chris was the pied piper.

658
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:55,326
He knew exactly
what she wanted to hear

659
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,630
and what would get her to
leave the safety of her home.

660
00:39:58,663 --> 00:40:01,533
And so, he played her the song
of independence,

661
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:05,136
of running away together
to draw her
to her eventual death.

662
00:40:05,169 --> 00:40:07,039
The way that he killed her

663
00:40:07,071 --> 00:40:11,341
shows a true indifference
to human life.

664
00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:17,007
The murder charges
against Chris are transferred
to adult court.

665
00:40:17,048 --> 00:40:20,378
I think Chris’ motivation
was he just didn’t want to be
a father.

666
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:23,048
He didn’t want to be a young
father like his dad.

667
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,187
Annie had become an object
to him

668
00:40:25,223 --> 00:40:28,293
that was getting in the way
of what he thought his life
should be

669
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:31,726
and ultimately seemed like it
led to him deciding,

670
00:40:31,763 --> 00:40:35,703
well, the best way to get rid
of the thoughts
about pregnancy

671
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:39,473
was to get rid of Annie.
And so, he did that.

672
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:41,514
The callousness to bludgeon
someone.

673
00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:46,639
Your... your dating partner
to death is... is horrendous
and highly atypical.

674
00:40:46,678 --> 00:40:49,578
The level of violence
and planning here

675
00:40:49,614 --> 00:40:51,924
suggests more of an act
of instrumental violence

676
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:57,190
than it is something
that’s borne out
of a high level of emotion.

677
00:40:57,221 --> 00:41:00,491
[narrator] Chris Bagshaw
pleads guilty to first-degree
murder

678
00:41:00,525 --> 00:41:03,295
and is sentenced to 15 years
to life.

679
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:07,029
Annie was just 15.

680
00:41:07,065 --> 00:41:10,205
We always want to protect
the kids, don’t want anything
to happen to them.

681
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:13,442
[Alyssa]
The most difficult part
about this case

682
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,041
was that it was such
a young beautiful girl

683
00:41:16,074 --> 00:41:19,684
that had so many hopes
and dreams.

684
00:41:19,711 --> 00:41:22,051
There was a lot of ups
and downs in this case

685
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,720
and it’s probably something
that I am always going to be
so grateful and proud for...

686
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:31,556
that in the end,
what we were able to solve.

687
00:41:33,091 --> 00:41:34,931
[Veronica] It was hard.

688
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:38,399
I felt a combination
of sadness and relief.

689
00:41:38,429 --> 00:41:43,799
Sadness that there
wasn’t anything that I could
do to change it or to fix it,

690
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:46,075
now or then...

691
00:41:46,104 --> 00:41:51,144
and relief that in doing
exactly what I told Annie
I would do,

692
00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:55,075
we would be able to prove
who hurt her.

693
00:41:55,113 --> 00:41:57,753
[narrator] Veronica is
determined to move forward,

694
00:41:57,782 --> 00:42:01,252
keeping her vibrant daughter’s
memory alive.

695
00:42:01,285 --> 00:42:04,885
[Veronica] What I miss is
what we didn’t get to have.

696
00:42:04,922 --> 00:42:07,962
I miss that we didn’t get
to see her finish growing up.

697
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,360
I guess, I’m just still
so sorry.

698
00:42:13,998 --> 00:42:18,738
I’m still so sorry that it had
to... to be like this.

699
00:42:18,770 --> 00:42:19,970
We miss her...

700
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:27,082
but Annie was all about keep
going and to try things even
though they’re hard.

701
00:42:27,111 --> 00:42:32,751
She was a big factor in why
we adopted five more children.

702
00:42:32,784 --> 00:42:38,294
And so, her lasting impact
is second chances
and not giving up.
