00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:51,636 Drawers were opened. Things were pulled out. 138 00:07:51,705 --> 00:07:53,171 Things were looked through. 139 00:07:55,976 --> 00:08:00,344 Jack rains had a watch and some jewelry on. 140 00:08:00,414 --> 00:08:03,081 There were things that were not taken 141 00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:06,350 That should have been taken if you were taking valuables. 142 00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,352 The safe was still there 143 00:08:08,422 --> 00:08:10,622 And it was one of those box-style safes. 144 00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:12,524 So even if I couldn't open the safe, 145 00:08:12,592 --> 00:08:14,959 I would take the safe with me. 146 00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,962 -It looked like someone was looking for something 147 00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,966 Or trying to stage it to look like someone robbed him. 148 00:08:23,302 --> 00:08:25,970 We discovered a bullet fragment on the ground. 149 00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,839 It was a .22-caliber bullet. 150 00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:29,841 -The bullets were federal brand. 151 00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:35,379 The federal .22 bullet is a fairly common round. 152 00:08:35,449 --> 00:08:37,748 We found no guns at his house. 153 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:41,820 The fact that there were no guns was a surprise. 154 00:08:41,888 --> 00:08:45,056 -Jack was former military and former law enforcement. 155 00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:48,392 Plus, he collected and traded guns as a hobby. 156 00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:50,094 To the detectives, 157 00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:53,131 It seems odd there are no firearms in his home. 158 00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:57,135 So, is there anything else out of place? 159 00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:58,870 -At his kitchen table, 160 00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:01,272 There looked like there was some paper there, 161 00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,141 Maybe that was his desk. 162 00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:06,044 And if you looked, there was a blank sheet of paper 163 00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:07,679 There in front of him. 164 00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:09,614 Looking at the blood splatter, 165 00:09:09,682 --> 00:09:12,283 It almost looks like there may have been something 166 00:09:12,352 --> 00:09:17,255 On top of that, because there was kind of a small void there. 167 00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:20,358 Our victim lives alone. 168 00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:21,792 He doesn't have anyone else, 169 00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:23,962 So to know what's missing is difficult. 170 00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:27,765 Because we don't know, we can't ask him, "what's missing?" 171 00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:30,034 -Detectives keep searching the home, 172 00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:32,170 Looking for any shred of evidence 173 00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:34,605 That will steer them in the right direction. 174 00:09:34,675 --> 00:09:37,909 And they do find something unexpected. 175 00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:39,778 -In the kitchen, 176 00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:42,647 There was quite a few jugs of moonshine in there. 177 00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:44,716 It's a little surprising that jack rains, 178 00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:46,818 A former police officer, 179 00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:49,153 Would be selling moonshine because it's illegal, 180 00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:52,456 And he should have known better, but the fact is he was. 181 00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:54,792 Not only is the person selling the moonshine breaking the law, 182 00:09:54,861 --> 00:09:57,696 But the person buying the moonshine's breaking the laws. 183 00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:01,365 So, there's always a danger in that business. 184 00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:03,334 -It's clear to the detectives 185 00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:07,138 That jack rains is not your typical 83-year-old man. 186 00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:09,741 So the investigators start talking to neighbors, 187 00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:12,243 Hoping for more insight. 188 00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:16,347 -None of the neighbors were shy about giving us information. 189 00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:17,615 The neighbors had indicated 190 00:10:17,684 --> 00:10:20,151 That he was seeing a younger woman. 191 00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:23,721 There was talk that there was a mystery male 192 00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:25,623 That had made some threats 193 00:10:25,691 --> 00:10:27,525 Or had caused some problems in the past, 194 00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,627 And that he would loan folks money. 195 00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:31,595 Loaning money to people, 196 00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:33,497 You're asking for people to be upset, 197 00:10:33,567 --> 00:10:36,368 You're asking for people to try to get out of having to pay you. 198 00:10:36,436 --> 00:10:38,169 You're just asking for problems. 199 00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:40,338 -Jack rains, I mean, he was the country mafia. 200 00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:44,042 He had guns, he had moonshine, all those things. 201 00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:47,145 -That opens up a whole new possibility for any number 202 00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:49,314 Of potential suspects in this case. 203 00:10:52,618 --> 00:10:54,419 -He said, "someone's gonna die. 204 00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,454 It's gonna be him, it's gonna be me." 205 00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:58,356 -At the time, gossip surfaces 206 00:10:58,425 --> 00:10:59,457 That they're more than just friends. 207 00:10:59,526 --> 00:11:01,325 -We pulled that video 208 00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:05,330 And you see this figure walking down this major highway. 209 00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:06,864 This is huge. 210 00:11:06,933 --> 00:11:08,699 -We never thought in our wildest dreams 211 00:11:08,701 --> 00:11:10,135 That it would end in murder. 212 00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,778 -83-year-old jack rains was full of life, 213 00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,114 And he had his hands in multiple endeavors -- 214 00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:26,417 Some legitimate and some not. 215 00:11:26,486 --> 00:11:28,820 For the investigators looking into jack's murder, 216 00:11:28,888 --> 00:11:32,556 This raises several questions -- did a deal go bad? 217 00:11:32,626 --> 00:11:36,094 What about the mysterious man who supposedly threatened jack? 218 00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:39,063 And is there any truth to the rumor 219 00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:41,165 About a young female friend? 220 00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:43,735 -He was so different, you know, 221 00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:46,104 After ruby was put in the nursing home. 222 00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:50,041 Maybe he was lonely and needed someone to talk to. 223 00:11:52,078 --> 00:11:56,014 -Sometimes people just give out information that's not relevant 224 00:11:56,082 --> 00:11:58,850 And they're just gossiping. 225 00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:01,119 You want to collect more than you need 226 00:12:01,187 --> 00:12:03,354 And then throw out what's junk. 227 00:12:03,423 --> 00:12:06,858 -As the police dig deeper into jack rains' life, 228 00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:09,827 His body arrives at the hospital. 229 00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:13,097 -I am a ambulatory surgical nurse. 230 00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:16,400 I was working at the hospital in murfreesboro 231 00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:19,404 When I found out that my grandfather was shot. 232 00:12:21,441 --> 00:12:25,209 He was actually at my hospital that I was working at, 233 00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:28,379 But he was already pronounced dead. 234 00:12:30,383 --> 00:12:32,216 I didn't understand 235 00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,786 That someone would want to kill my grandfather. 236 00:12:34,854 --> 00:12:39,824 Everybody loved him and wanted to be around him. 237 00:12:39,893 --> 00:12:42,727 Why would someone want him dead? 238 00:12:42,729 --> 00:12:44,628 -To get answers, 239 00:12:44,698 --> 00:12:46,664 The detectives start with the two people 240 00:12:46,733 --> 00:12:49,500 Who discovered jack's body. 241 00:12:49,569 --> 00:12:51,102 -The next day, on September 2nd, 242 00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:54,105 Ron and tina williamson come in for questioning 243 00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:57,875 And to give us some more information. 244 00:12:57,944 --> 00:13:00,244 Tina tells us her relationship with jack is, 245 00:13:00,246 --> 00:13:05,149 They're very good friends, he's almost like family to them. 246 00:13:05,218 --> 00:13:08,753 Ron and jack trade guns, they go to gun shows together. 247 00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:14,125 Jack comes to their home for dinner, he comes for cookouts. 248 00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:17,629 Tina told us years ago, she had some type of car crash 249 00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:21,132 And she had a broken back in the process. 250 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,103 She couldn't drive, so jack would take her places. 251 00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:27,038 -Jack and tina form a bond 252 00:13:27,106 --> 00:13:30,074 And they end up going into business together. 253 00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,076 -He and tina would go out and find a car 254 00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:35,046 That needed a little clean-up and they would buy it cheap 255 00:13:35,114 --> 00:13:37,949 And then sell it for a little bit of a profit. 256 00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:41,085 She was making good money doing that with jack. 257 00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:43,921 Jack had a fair amount of money in the bank 258 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,590 As well as having income from retirement, 259 00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:50,862 Income from the duplex rental. 260 00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:55,199 So jack was -- was pretty well set, money-wise. 261 00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:58,669 -Tina tells the detectives that jack picked her up in woodbury 262 00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,672 The morning of August 31st. 263 00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,507 -They had breakfast at hardee's. 264 00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:06,845 After breakfast, jack had to go to the bank. 265 00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:08,913 Tina stayed in the car. 266 00:14:08,982 --> 00:14:12,383 Jack did his banking business, took tina home. 267 00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:14,218 His plan was to go home, 268 00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:19,090 Change and go visit his wife, ruby, at the nursing home. 269 00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:21,459 -A little bit later, she tried calling him. 270 00:14:28,802 --> 00:14:31,235 -There were a number of messages on his answering machine 271 00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:32,570 That we were able to listen to. 272 00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:42,380 There were some additional messages left later in the day. 273 00:14:52,525 --> 00:14:54,358 -Tina tells the police 274 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,361 She usually talks to jack several times a day, 275 00:14:57,363 --> 00:15:00,698 To discuss business and also just to check in. 276 00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:04,535 So it's strange and a little alarming when he doesn't answer 277 00:15:04,604 --> 00:15:06,137 Or return her calls. 278 00:15:06,205 --> 00:15:07,839 And by the next day, 279 00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,907 When jack still hasn't called back, 280 00:15:09,976 --> 00:15:13,311 Tina and ron are increasingly concerned. 281 00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:15,379 -They needed to go check on jack, 282 00:15:15,381 --> 00:15:17,315 Because she hadn't been able to get in touch with him. 283 00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:20,418 So, that's when they discovered jack's not answering his phone 284 00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:21,352 Because jack is dead. 285 00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:27,058 -Ron and tina claim that's all they know, 286 00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:31,062 And the investigators have no reason to doubt them. 287 00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:34,065 -We're able to validate with someone from hardee's 288 00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:36,300 That on August 31st, these two came in 289 00:15:36,369 --> 00:15:38,169 And had breakfast together. 290 00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:41,539 -It appears ron and tina's alibi checks out. 291 00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,040 At this point, 292 00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,575 The investigators look to the medical examiner 293 00:15:44,644 --> 00:15:48,045 To give them some tangible clues to work with. 294 00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,881 -Jack rains was killed with a .22 caliber. 295 00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,950 The medical examiner confirmed 296 00:15:53,019 --> 00:15:55,719 That the killing happened in the middle of the day. 297 00:15:55,789 --> 00:15:57,221 The time of death of jack rains 298 00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:58,890 Was actually between 11:00 and noon 299 00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,325 On August the 31st. 300 00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:04,095 -That tells them jack was murdered after he and tina 301 00:16:04,163 --> 00:16:06,163 Had breakfast together 302 00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:09,300 And more than 24 hours before his body was found. 303 00:16:09,368 --> 00:16:12,436 Meaning tina was probably the last person to see jack 304 00:16:12,438 --> 00:16:14,505 Before a killer took his life. 305 00:16:14,574 --> 00:16:19,277 And the medical examiner's report confirms something else. 306 00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,946 -When we get the autopsy report back, 307 00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:25,383 We learn that we had three shots from some distance 308 00:16:25,451 --> 00:16:30,121 And we had one close range and one at the base of the skull 309 00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:32,056 That was a contact wound 310 00:16:32,125 --> 00:16:34,358 That they determined was the fatal shot. 311 00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:37,194 Five rounds to the back of the head for somebody that's 83, 312 00:16:37,263 --> 00:16:40,631 That's -- that's overkill. 313 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,467 -Overkill is an understatement, 314 00:16:43,536 --> 00:16:46,137 And the detectives aren't the only ones stunned 315 00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:48,840 By the brutality of jack's murder. 316 00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:52,676 When word gets out, the town is in shock. 317 00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:56,781 -Jack's murder is definitely not something you would expect. 318 00:16:57,684 --> 00:17:00,451 Murfreesboro is a safe place to live. 319 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,487 To have a murder happen is out of the ordinary. 320 00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:07,491 The fact that it happens to a retired state trooper 321 00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:11,995 Who was in the military is even more bizarre. 322 00:17:12,065 --> 00:17:14,265 -The detectives want more information 323 00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:17,368 About jack's extra-curricular activities -- 324 00:17:17,437 --> 00:17:21,138 The money, the loans, and the moonshine. 325 00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:23,174 So they circle back to jack's house 326 00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:26,744 To see what else they can learn from his neighbors. 327 00:17:26,812 --> 00:17:32,349 -Directly behind jack's house is a duplex that's owned by jack. 328 00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:34,785 And tina's daughter, jessica, 329 00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:38,556 And her live-in boyfriend, robert motter, live there. 330 00:17:39,925 --> 00:17:43,561 They're able to see, you know, what's going on over there. 331 00:17:43,629 --> 00:17:46,497 Robert relays to us that jack had some people 332 00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,032 That would work on cleaning his cars 333 00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:51,935 And doing things for him around the house. 334 00:17:52,005 --> 00:17:53,304 -Robert motter said one of the guys 335 00:17:53,372 --> 00:17:57,408 That was working with jack cleaning cars 336 00:17:57,476 --> 00:18:00,945 Apparently had quite an argument with jack about payment. 337 00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:02,446 -It got heated. 338 00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:04,916 Jack told him basically get lost. 339 00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:06,617 And then jack told robert, 340 00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:10,021 "hey, if you see that guy here again, come check on me, 341 00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:12,490 Because it could be bad. 342 00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,326 This guy could be coming back to hurt me." 343 00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:17,228 -Jack's comment to robert motter, was, 344 00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:18,829 "someone's not walking away from this. 345 00:18:18,898 --> 00:18:20,197 You know, someone's gonna die. 346 00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,732 It's gonna be him, it's gonna be me." 347 00:18:30,475 --> 00:18:33,177 -It's been 72 hours since jack rains was found, 348 00:18:33,246 --> 00:18:35,913 Shot five times in the back of the head. 349 00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:37,781 So far, 350 00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,184 The detectives have heard a lot of rumors about jack's life, 351 00:18:40,253 --> 00:18:42,586 But they don't have any concrete suspects. 352 00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:45,522 That is, until a neighbor tells them 353 00:18:45,591 --> 00:18:48,592 About an intense argument jack had with a man 354 00:18:48,661 --> 00:18:51,328 Who was helping him with his car business. 355 00:18:51,397 --> 00:18:53,330 -Robert motter didn't know his name, 356 00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:55,499 But he was able to relay to us 357 00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:57,801 That this gentleman that did the work for jack 358 00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:02,073 Was driving an older style mercedes, golden color. 359 00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:05,208 As soon as we find out what kind of car we're looking for, 360 00:19:05,210 --> 00:19:06,677 I made a phone call to a friend of mine 361 00:19:06,679 --> 00:19:08,946 That works for murfreesboro city and I said, 362 00:19:09,014 --> 00:19:10,948 "hey, I need you to find a guy 363 00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:14,685 That drives this gold mercedes somewhere here in the area." 364 00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:17,554 -As the detectives search for this mystery man 365 00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:22,093 And other leads, jack's funeral services are held. 366 00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:24,862 Unfortunately, jack's wife, ruby, 367 00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:29,267 Whose health continues to decline, is unable to attend. 368 00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,835 But the gathering demonstrates the fullness 369 00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,738 Of the life jack led. 370 00:19:34,807 --> 00:19:38,508 -To see the turnout of people that supported him, 371 00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:42,079 It was just really amazing. 372 00:19:42,147 --> 00:19:47,384 When he was laid to rest, they had the bagpipe players playing. 373 00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:51,388 They had the infantry there as well. 374 00:19:51,457 --> 00:19:53,357 -He always told me, he said, 375 00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:54,992 "I want a military funeral, no matter what" 376 00:19:55,061 --> 00:19:58,696 And we got it for him. 377 00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:00,864 I saw a lot of people and I appreciate it 378 00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,834 And it was real touching. 379 00:20:03,903 --> 00:20:07,738 I've got his flag that they honored him with at home. 380 00:20:10,576 --> 00:20:12,610 -Almost a week into the investigation, 381 00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:15,713 The detectives complete a search of murfreesboro 382 00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:18,516 And the surrounding areas for a gold mercedes. 383 00:20:18,584 --> 00:20:21,052 And it yields one result. 384 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:25,856 -We located the mercedes and the address in murfreesboro 385 00:20:25,925 --> 00:20:30,327 And we were able to identify the individual as david johnson. 386 00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:33,164 -David johnson is a 46-year-old local, 387 00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:37,301 Who works at a print shop and takes side jobs for extra cash. 388 00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:39,903 His record is dotted with minor offenses. 389 00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:43,607 But is it possible he got so angry at jack rains 390 00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:47,277 That he shot him in the back of the head? 391 00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:48,846 -When we interviewed david johnson, 392 00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:51,182 He tells us that he was at work that day, 393 00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,350 That he doesn't know jack rains, 394 00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:55,586 That he has no knowledge of the house 395 00:20:55,655 --> 00:20:58,856 And doesn't know anybody involved. 396 00:20:58,924 --> 00:21:01,291 That was very strange. 397 00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:03,361 -Is david johnson telling the truth, 398 00:21:03,363 --> 00:21:05,796 That he had nothing to do with the crime? 399 00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:08,465 Or is he being evasive? 400 00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:12,770 -David johnson was able to provide documents from work 401 00:21:12,838 --> 00:21:14,738 Showing he was at work. 402 00:21:14,807 --> 00:21:16,873 He had a punch card or a time clock that he punched. 403 00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:19,543 He had some bills that he had paid that day. 404 00:21:19,545 --> 00:21:22,179 And he was able to absolutely put himself 405 00:21:22,247 --> 00:21:23,947 Not anywhere near that crime scene. 406 00:21:24,016 --> 00:21:29,020 Everything checked out and we were able to rule him out. 407 00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:34,858 -The investigators are convinced david johnson is not involved. 408 00:21:34,927 --> 00:21:38,129 So they once again return to some of the shocking stories 409 00:21:38,197 --> 00:21:41,232 They heard about jack from his neighbors 410 00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,367 The night his body was found. 411 00:21:43,435 --> 00:21:47,571 -The rumor that jack was seeing a younger woman 412 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,640 Was there from day 1. 413 00:21:49,709 --> 00:21:51,842 It's one of those things you take in 414 00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:55,979 And you file away and it's like, "alright, we'll check on that." 415 00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:58,949 -Apparently, jack rains had been speaking with one 416 00:21:59,018 --> 00:22:01,618 Of his neighbors, troy bell, 417 00:22:01,687 --> 00:22:05,088 About hooking up with a young lady, we'll say. 418 00:22:05,158 --> 00:22:07,257 He was very smitten with her. 419 00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:10,694 Troy doesn't know her identity, but he knows that she's married. 420 00:22:10,696 --> 00:22:12,596 -With their other leads drying up, 421 00:22:12,598 --> 00:22:14,765 The detectives consider the possibility 422 00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:17,668 That jack's alleged affair with this younger woman 423 00:22:17,737 --> 00:22:20,403 May be more relevant than they first thought. 424 00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:22,005 But, for many folks in town, 425 00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,609 It's less a possibility and more a probability 426 00:22:25,611 --> 00:22:28,879 And they begin to divulge a shocking twist. 427 00:22:29,882 --> 00:22:33,317 -The town gossip surfaces that tina and jack 428 00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:36,386 Are more than just friends. 429 00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:38,922 -The rumor evolved into, 430 00:22:38,991 --> 00:22:40,624 "well, not only is he seeing a younger woman, 431 00:22:40,626 --> 00:22:42,726 But he's seeing tina williamson." 432 00:22:42,795 --> 00:22:45,228 When we hear that tina and jack 433 00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:48,199 Were having some type of intimate relationship, 434 00:22:48,267 --> 00:22:51,268 That's like..."wow." 435 00:22:51,337 --> 00:22:53,471 -Still, the investigators know 436 00:22:53,473 --> 00:22:55,206 That just because jack's neighbors 437 00:22:55,274 --> 00:22:57,274 Believe he was involved with tina 438 00:22:57,276 --> 00:22:59,076 Doesn't make it so. 439 00:22:59,144 --> 00:23:00,878 -In a small town, it's exciting. 440 00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:02,913 We're in the middle of a murder investigation. 441 00:23:02,982 --> 00:23:07,485 So, it's not uncommon for people to be blabber-mouths. 442 00:23:07,487 --> 00:23:09,720 -If there was something going on, 443 00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:12,456 Jack's family seems to be in the dark. 444 00:23:12,525 --> 00:23:16,059 -When he met tina and her husband, ron, 445 00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:18,462 At first we thought that their relationship, 446 00:23:18,531 --> 00:23:19,796 It's a great thing, you know? 447 00:23:19,865 --> 00:23:21,832 He has somebody that he can talk to 448 00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:25,736 And hang out with and do things that he loves to do. 449 00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:29,140 And then as time went on, he started to hang out 450 00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:30,807 With her more 451 00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,544 And didn't come around his own family more 452 00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:37,881 And that was strange to us. 453 00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:40,217 -I didn't know what to think, tell you the truth. 454 00:23:40,285 --> 00:23:41,852 She was awful friendly to daddy, 455 00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:45,088 And I thought that was a little odd, you know. 456 00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:49,559 I thought surely they're not romantically involved. 457 00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:51,495 -They spent a lot of time together 458 00:23:51,564 --> 00:23:54,297 And they have a business together selling cars. 459 00:23:54,299 --> 00:23:59,236 So, that's definitely something we need to look at. 460 00:23:59,304 --> 00:24:00,871 -Rumor is not fact. 461 00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:04,175 But what may seem like idle gossip could be the clue 462 00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:05,909 That breaks the case. 463 00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:09,112 Assuming tina was indeed having an affair with jack, 464 00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:13,283 Then perhaps there's a love triangle behind this murder. 465 00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:15,185 -For ron williamson, 466 00:24:15,187 --> 00:24:19,457 I mean, your good friend is cheating with your wife on you, 467 00:24:19,525 --> 00:24:21,425 Behind your back. 468 00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:23,560 That's not a good place to be put in. 469 00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,662 If ron williamson found out 470 00:24:25,731 --> 00:24:27,998 That tina was having an affair with jack rains, 471 00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:31,469 That would solidly put him into the category of a suspect. 472 00:24:31,537 --> 00:24:36,807 ♪♪ 473 00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:43,614 -For nearly a week, 474 00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:45,482 The investigators have been chasing rumors 475 00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:47,951 About jack rains' complicated life, 476 00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,021 Hoping to find a solid suspect in his murder. 477 00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:53,824 Now the detectives are stunned to discover 478 00:24:53,893 --> 00:24:56,560 Not only does there seem to be truth to the gossip 479 00:24:56,629 --> 00:24:59,162 That jack was involved with a younger woman, 480 00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,632 But that woman is believed to be his friend 481 00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:04,968 And business partner, tina williamson. 482 00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:07,137 Which raises another dilemma -- 483 00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:10,974 Did her husband, ron, know? 484 00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:13,643 -If he found out that tina and jack 485 00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:16,914 Were having a relationship and jack's his friend 486 00:25:16,982 --> 00:25:18,816 And someone he's supposed to trust, 487 00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:21,652 Well, that's a pretty decent red flag. 488 00:25:22,988 --> 00:25:24,788 -Without revealing that they know anything 489 00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:26,556 About the supposed affair, 490 00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:28,792 The investigators question ron again, 491 00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:31,828 Watching closely to see if he gives any indication 492 00:25:31,897 --> 00:25:33,864 That he's aware of the rumors. 493 00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:36,099 -We noticed there was nothing in his responses 494 00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:39,636 To show that ron had any knowledge that tina and jack 495 00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:43,073 Were having a relationship. 496 00:25:43,141 --> 00:25:45,609 Ron tells us, as far as possible suspects, 497 00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:47,678 He doesn't know anybody. 498 00:25:47,746 --> 00:25:50,814 We asked if he had some type of falling out with jack 499 00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:53,917 And he tells us, no, everything was fine. 500 00:25:53,986 --> 00:25:57,320 And he seemed genuinely concerned about jack 501 00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,690 And about what had happened. 502 00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:03,027 -The detectives are baffled by his seeming ignorance 503 00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:04,962 Of the local chatter. 504 00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,598 -Ron and jack are best friends and they trade guns, 505 00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:09,733 They go to gun shows together. 506 00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:13,036 How is that ron doesn't pick up on this, 507 00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:15,672 If something's going on or does he know? 508 00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,708 -With these questions in mind, 509 00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:20,678 The detectives now need to check out ron's alibi 510 00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:24,147 On the day jack was murdered. 511 00:26:24,216 --> 00:26:28,085 -Ron's a truck driver, and ron had a route that day. 512 00:26:28,153 --> 00:26:32,322 Ron and tina indicated that ron was driving that day 513 00:26:32,391 --> 00:26:34,691 And was out of town. 514 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,727 We were able to pull his employee records, 515 00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:39,029 His truck records, find out his log, 516 00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:41,098 Where he was, pull the gps on that truck, 517 00:26:41,166 --> 00:26:42,833 Pulled his phone records, 518 00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:45,068 And we were able to positively put him 519 00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:48,071 Out of state driving his truck. 520 00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:50,807 -Ron's alibi appears solid on the surface, 521 00:26:50,876 --> 00:26:53,510 But he's not cleared of suspicion just yet. 522 00:26:53,579 --> 00:26:56,613 Both ron and tina knew jack had money. 523 00:26:56,681 --> 00:26:59,482 Is it possible the alleged affair was nothing 524 00:26:59,552 --> 00:27:01,618 But a honey trap and ron and tina 525 00:27:01,686 --> 00:27:04,021 Actually conspired to kill jack? 526 00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:06,457 The investigators aren't sure yet. 527 00:27:06,525 --> 00:27:09,760 So, for now, they shift their focus to tina. 528 00:27:12,297 --> 00:27:13,930 -You gotta start following the money at some point 529 00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:17,034 And she's directing you right to it. 530 00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,902 -We were looking at the bank records. 531 00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:21,504 He had the account that he and tina 532 00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:24,975 Shared together that they used for the car purchases. 533 00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:27,177 -The bank records also show 534 00:27:27,246 --> 00:27:30,947 That jack had a $100,000 certificate of deposit. 535 00:27:31,016 --> 00:27:32,649 But that's not all tina stood to gain 536 00:27:32,718 --> 00:27:35,118 In the event of jack's death. 537 00:27:35,187 --> 00:27:37,854 -She was going to get the $10,000 bank account, 538 00:27:37,923 --> 00:27:39,790 That was a joint account. 539 00:27:39,858 --> 00:27:43,393 Jack had the $100,000 cd in tina's name. 540 00:27:43,462 --> 00:27:45,696 She would have gotten possession of the duplex. 541 00:27:45,764 --> 00:27:50,367 So, you know, $280,000 worth of assets with jack dead. 542 00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:55,806 The bank people said five days after jack was killed, 543 00:27:55,874 --> 00:27:58,008 Tina went down to the bank 544 00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:01,812 And withdrew the $10,000 out of the business account. 545 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,914 They also said that she was attempting 546 00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:08,919 To withdraw the $100,000 cd, but they paused that. 547 00:28:08,987 --> 00:28:12,155 -She didn't have his death certificate. 548 00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:13,924 That was part of the holdup. 549 00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:16,293 And the people working in the bank, 550 00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:19,829 They got a really weird vibe out of her. 551 00:28:19,899 --> 00:28:23,033 -Tina isn't able to cash in the cd, 552 00:28:23,102 --> 00:28:25,168 But she does have a clear motive for murder, 553 00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:27,971 Whether or not she's having an affair with jack. 554 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,574 So they call her in and confront her directly, 555 00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:33,910 Hoping to learn once and for all 556 00:28:33,979 --> 00:28:35,879 The true nature of their relationship.

00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:40,810 That tina's making phone calls, 661 00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:46,082 You see this figure walking down john bragg highway, 662 00:34:46,151 --> 00:34:48,685 Exactly where betty picked her up. 663 00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:52,322 -So the evidence is adding up against tina at this point. 664 00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:56,393 Between the cctv footage and the cellphone data, 665 00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:58,761 Things are not looking good for tina. 666 00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:02,498 -The detectives also pick up on one detail from betty 667 00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:06,603 That makes them think tina's actions were premeditated. 668 00:35:06,671 --> 00:35:08,338 -She had made calls to betty saying, 669 00:35:08,406 --> 00:35:09,772 "betty, I'm gonna be calling you, 670 00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,442 And I'm gonna be needing a ride from murfreesboro, 671 00:35:12,511 --> 00:35:14,677 And when I call you, you need to be available to come 672 00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,512 Pick me up because it's important." 673 00:35:16,581 --> 00:35:21,117 So that tells us she was planning this. 674 00:35:21,186 --> 00:35:23,085 -The investigators are now convinced 675 00:35:23,155 --> 00:35:25,521 That tina is their lead suspect. 676 00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:28,090 But all they have is a circumstantial case 677 00:35:28,092 --> 00:35:29,792 And a lot of unanswered questions, 678 00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:33,730 Starting with, is her husband, ron, involved as well? 679 00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:36,132 So, the detectives come up with a plan 680 00:35:36,201 --> 00:35:38,601 They hope will finally reveal the truth. 681 00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:43,706 ♪♪ 682 00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:45,375 -We asked betty, 683 00:35:45,443 --> 00:35:47,744 "would you be willing to let us wire you up 684 00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,446 And see if you can have some conversation with tina 685 00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:52,882 And see if she'll talk about this ride?" 686 00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:55,252 And betty was like, "yeah, no problem." 687 00:36:43,602 --> 00:36:45,968 Tina was kind of all over the place in that 688 00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:50,640 She was telling betty things that betty knew were lies. 689 00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:04,053 She told betty, 690 00:37:04,122 --> 00:37:06,756 "whatever you do, don't tell police about that ride. 691 00:37:06,825 --> 00:37:08,925 Don't tell them that you picked me up." 692 00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:20,436 We felt pretty comfortable that we were able to rule ron out. 693 00:37:20,505 --> 00:37:22,805 The fact that he was working 694 00:37:22,807 --> 00:37:25,942 And some of the conversations with betty olson and tina 695 00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:27,710 Seemed to indicate 696 00:37:27,779 --> 00:37:29,846 That she was trying to keep all this from ron. 697 00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:31,982 We didn't believe he was involved. 698 00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:34,250 Ron was cleared as a suspect. 699 00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:36,753 At this point, after listening to the wires, 700 00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:40,090 We're pretty convinced tina's the killer. 701 00:37:40,158 --> 00:37:42,992 But it was just another piece of circumstantial evidence. 702 00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:45,628 -Then the investigators get new information 703 00:37:45,696 --> 00:37:47,163 From the forensics team. 704 00:37:47,231 --> 00:37:50,767 -In this case, we know that jack rains was killed 705 00:37:50,835 --> 00:37:53,436 With a .22-caliber revolver. 706 00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:54,937 -During the search at tina's house, 707 00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:58,641 We recovered a smith and wesson .22 revolver, 5-shot 708 00:37:58,710 --> 00:38:02,311 And that was taken to the lab and tested. 709 00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:03,846 And they were able to say 710 00:38:03,848 --> 00:38:07,517 That the gun was consistent with a gun 711 00:38:07,585 --> 00:38:11,020 That would have fired the rounds that killed jack rains. 712 00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:12,688 More importantly, 713 00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:14,957 On the outer cylinder of that gun 714 00:38:15,026 --> 00:38:18,961 Had microscopic spots of human blood. 715 00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:21,698 -Soon, it all comes crashing down on her. 716 00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:31,641 -The detectives investigating the murder of jack rains 717 00:38:31,709 --> 00:38:34,344 Believe his business partner and rumored lover, 718 00:38:34,412 --> 00:38:37,780 38-year-old tina williamson, is the shooter. 719 00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:40,783 Now the circumstantial evidence is piling up. 720 00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:43,519 The discovery of human blood on a gun 721 00:38:43,588 --> 00:38:45,588 That could be the murder weapon 722 00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:49,892 May give them what they need to finally make an arrest. 723 00:38:49,961 --> 00:38:52,362 -We know that one shot was near contact, 724 00:38:52,430 --> 00:38:55,631 So there's a good correlation 725 00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:58,568 Of how that bloodstain got on that pistol. 726 00:38:58,636 --> 00:39:00,469 -But there's a hitch. 727 00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:01,938 -When I tested it, 728 00:39:02,006 --> 00:39:04,240 Unfortunately the spot was only big enough 729 00:39:04,308 --> 00:39:08,611 For me to get a result with the blood color change tests. 730 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,748 Didn't have enough to get a dna profile off of it. 731 00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:15,485 -With the results of the blood test inconclusive, 732 00:39:15,553 --> 00:39:18,955 The investigators hope that jack rains himself 733 00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:22,925 Might finally get them closer to making an arrest. 734 00:39:23,895 --> 00:39:26,362 -At the time when we discovered jack rains, 735 00:39:26,431 --> 00:39:30,099 He only had a t-shirt on and his boxers. 736 00:39:30,167 --> 00:39:32,735 -So when we found out that jack and tina 737 00:39:32,804 --> 00:39:36,372 Were potentially having an intimate relationship together, 738 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,911 We had the boxers tested to see if there was any foreign dna. 739 00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:45,815 -And I got a mixture of dna of jack rains and a female. 740 00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:50,520 And it turns out that that female was tina williamson. 741 00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:53,656 -It's the final nail in the coffin for tina williamson. 742 00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:56,226 Not only was she having an affair with jack, 743 00:39:56,294 --> 00:39:59,261 But she was in his home and intimate with him 744 00:39:59,331 --> 00:40:01,197 Just before he was murdered. 745 00:40:01,265 --> 00:40:04,634 -She had said, more than once, that there's no way. 746 00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:09,405 Not having sex with him, 747 00:40:09,474 --> 00:40:10,907 Not having sexual relations with him. 748 00:40:13,678 --> 00:40:14,811 I was like, "ah, okay. 749 00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:16,546 But you're in the boxers." 750 00:40:16,614 --> 00:40:18,581 They were not just business partners, 751 00:40:18,650 --> 00:40:23,085 They were partners of a
