-He doesn't even see it coming.
Wham! Next thing you know, you're dead.
-...Investigators uncover salacious secrets...
-When we hear that they were having some type
Of intimate relationship, I was like "wow."
-...A motive for murder...

Former state trooper and retired veteran jack rains
Is living his best life in murfreesboro, tennessee.
Jack is well known
And well liked by just about everyone in town.
Well, maybe not everyone.
Because on September 1, 2007,
Jack rains is caught up in a web of deception and greed
That ends in murder.
-When we get to the scene,
The first responders let us know who made the call
And showed us where they were.
The 911 call was made by ron and tina williamson.
They were friends that knew who the victim was.
They typically talked to him on a daily basis.
They tried calling him and they finally decided,
"hey, we're gonna make the drive down here and check on him."
Ron went in the house,
Found jack and ushered tina out of the house and called 911.
[ siren wailing ]
When we go in, the victim, jack rains,
Was right there...
...Sitting schlumped over at his kitchen table.
-He was not wearing clothes at the time.
He only had a t-shirt on and his boxers.
-It's obvious he had been shot from behind in the head
At very close or point-blank range.
There looked like there were multiple shots.
-They're shooting him from behind
Where that person doesn't even see it coming.
Next thing you know...
[ gunshots ]
Wham! You're dead.
I would call that execution style.
-Based on the state of the body, we can tell
That he'd been there for the better part of a day.
The way he was killed -- point blank,
Multiple gunshots -- whoever killed jack
Definitely wanted him dead, and they were determined.
♪♪
-Born in 1924, his full name is general jack rains.
But everyone in the small town of woodbury, tennessee,
Just calls him "jack."
-Jack rains is my grandfather.
He loved to be around people.
He was very generous.
-My daddy was just happy-go-lucky,
Just cutting up all the time and he would talk to anybody.
-Jack was a very likeable person,
A bit of a ladies' man, if you will.
-He was always on the move.
-As a young man in his early 20s, jack plays the field...
Until he meets a girl named hattie gilley.
-My grandmother married my grandfather in 1947.
-There was a lot of affection between the two of them.
They were very happy together.
-The couple marries, and four years later,
Their son, gary, is born.
Jack balances fatherhood and career with ease.
-Jack was in the army and the air force
For 12 years from '43 to '55.
After the military,
Jack became the chief of police in woodbury for a while,
And then he became a state trooper.
-But jack's good-guy persona takes a hit when it comes out
That he's cheating on his wife of more than a decade.
-Daddy was having an affair.
I guess I was about 7 or 8 years old.
I remember the other woman coming in his life.
Ruby.
I remember that well.
It was probably six months to a year
Before they finally did divorce.
-Despite the scandalous start,
Jack and ruby lassiter fall deeply in love.
-Him and ruby married and everything,
And they moved to murfreesboro.
My dad -- he -- he quit the highway patrol,
And he got him a job driving a truck
'cause he's making more money.
-Jack earns a good living.
In fact he earns more than enough
To share his good fortune with others.
-My grandfather was the type of person
That would open his wallet and give it to you
Even if you didn't ask.
Whatever you needed help with, he was gonna give it to you.
-As he gets on in years, instead of slowing down,
Jack goes full throttle,
Nurturing his entrepreneurial spirit and finding ways
To turn a profit.
-Jack loved to trade cars,
He loved to trade guns, knives, I mean,
Anything that you would think
You would be able to make money off of, he loved to do.
-And while most of his enterprises are above board,
There are some that are more...
Under the table.
-My grandfather bought moonshine from someone
And then sold it for them
And probably made a little profit off of it.
-People would come to him, he would make deliveries.
I mean, he did it all.
-But as jack's moonshine business thrives,
His wife, ruby's, health begins to fail.
In the early 2000s, she suffers from dementia.
After more than 30 years of marriage,
Jack makes the tough decision to move ruby into a nursing home.
-She was kind of sickly.
Daddy would still go visit ruby every day at the nursing home.
-When jack's not at ruby's bedside,
He dives deeper into his money-making schemes...
...Until it all comes to an abrupt end on that fateful night
In the fall of 2007.
-When we're looking at this house, there's no forced entry.
No broken windows and the back door was unlocked.
Some of the rooms were ransacked.
Drawers were opened. Things were pulled out.
Things were looked through.
Jack rains had a watch and some jewelry on.
There were things that were not taken
That should have been taken if you were taking valuables.
The safe was still there
And it was one of those box-style safes.
So even if I couldn't open the safe,
I would take the safe with me.
-It looked like someone was looking for something
Or trying to stage it to look like someone robbed him.
We discovered a bullet fragment on the ground.
It was a .22-caliber bullet.
-The bullets were federal brand.
The federal .22 bullet is a fairly common round.
We found no guns at his house.
The fact that there were no guns was a surprise.
-Jack was former military and former law enforcement.
Plus, he collected and traded guns as a hobby.
To the detectives,
It seems odd there are no firearms in his home.
So, is there anything else out of place?
-At his kitchen table,
There looked like there was some paper there,
Maybe that was his desk.
And if you looked, there was a blank sheet of paper
There in front of him.
Looking at the blood splatter,
It almost looks like there may have been something
On top of that, because there was kind of a small void there.
Our victim lives alone.
He doesn't have anyone else,
So to know what's missing is difficult.
Because we don't know, we can't ask him, "what's missing?"
-Detectives keep searching the home,
Looking for any shred of evidence
That will steer them in the right direction.
And they do find something unexpected.
-In the kitchen,
There was quite a few jugs of moonshine in there.
It's a little surprising that jack rains,
A former police officer,
Would be selling moonshine because it's illegal,
And he should have known better, but the fact is he was.
Not only is the person selling the moonshine breaking the law,
But the person buying the moonshine's breaking the laws.
So, there's always a danger in that business.
-It's clear to the detectives
That jack rains is not your typical 83-year-old man.
So the investigators start talking to neighbors,
Hoping for more insight.
-None of the neighbors were shy about giving us information.
The neighbors had indicated
That he was seeing a younger woman.
There was talk that there was a mystery male
That had made some threats
Or had caused some problems in the past,
And that he would loan folks money.
Loaning money to people,
You're asking for people to be upset,
You're asking for people to try to get out of having to pay you.
You're just asking for problems.
-Jack rains, I mean, he was the country mafia.
He had guns, he had moonshine, all those things.
-That opens up a whole new possibility for any number
Of potential suspects in this case.
-He said, "someone's gonna die.
It's gonna be him, it's gonna be me."
-At the time, gossip surfaces
That they're more than just friends.
-We pulled that video
And you see this figure walking down this major highway.
This is huge.
-We never thought in our wildest dreams
That it would end in murder.
-83-year-old jack rains was full of life,
And he had his hands in multiple endeavors --
Some legitimate and some not.
For the investigators looking into jack's murder,
This raises several questions -- did a deal go bad?
What about the mysterious man who supposedly threatened jack?
And is there any truth to the rumor
About a young female friend?
-He was so different, you know,
After ruby was put in the nursing home.
Maybe he was lonely and needed someone to talk to.
-Sometimes people just give out information that's not relevant
And they're just gossiping.
You want to collect more than you need
And then throw out what's junk.
-As the police dig deeper into jack rains' life,
His body arrives at the hospital.
-I am a ambulatory surgical nurse.
I was working at the hospital in murfreesboro
When I found out that my grandfather was shot.
He was actually at my hospital that I was working at,
But he was already pronounced dead.
I didn't understand
That someone would want to kill my grandfather.
Everybody loved him and wanted to be around him.
Why would someone want him dead?
-To get answers,
The detectives start with the two people
Who discovered jack's body.
-The next day, on September 2nd,
Ron and tina williamson come in for questioning
And to give us some more information.
Tina tells us her relationship with jack is,
They're very good friends, he's almost like family to them.
Ron and jack trade guns, they go to gun shows together.
Jack comes to their home for dinner, he comes for cookouts.
Tina told us years ago, she had some type of car crash
And she had a broken back in the process.
She couldn't drive, so jack would take her places.
-Jack and tina form a bond
And they end up going into business together.
-He and tina would go out and find a car
That needed a little clean-up and they would buy it cheap
And then sell it for a little bit of a profit.
She was making good money doing that with jack.
Jack had a fair amount of money in the bank
As well as having income from retirement,
Income from the duplex rental.
So jack was -- was pretty well set, money-wise.
-Tina tells the detectives that jack picked her up in woodbury
The morning of August 31st.
-They had breakfast at hardee's.
After breakfast, jack had to go to the bank.
Tina stayed in the car.
Jack did his banking business, took tina home.
His plan was to go home,
Change and go visit his wife, ruby, at the nursing home.
-A little bit later, she tried calling him.
-There were a number of messages on his answering machine
That we were able to listen to.
There were some additional messages left later in the day.
-Tina tells the police
She usually talks to jack several times a day,
To discuss business and also just to check in.
So it's strange and a little alarming when he doesn't answer
Or return her calls.
And by the next day,
When jack still hasn't called back,
Tina and ron are increasingly concerned.
-They needed to go check on jack,
Because she hadn't been able to get in touch with him.
So, that's when they discovered jack's not answering his phone
Because jack is dead.
-Ron and tina claim that's all they know,
And the investigators have no reason to doubt them.
-We're able to validate with someone from hardee's
That on August 31st, these two came in
And had breakfast together.
-It appears ron and tina's alibi checks out.
At this point,
The investigators look to the medical examiner
To give them some tangible clues to work with.
-Jack rains was killed with a .22 caliber.
The medical examiner confirmed
That the killing happened in the middle of the day.
The time of death of jack rains
Was actually between 11:00 and noon
On August the 31st.
-That tells them jack was murdered after he and tina
Had breakfast together
And more than 24 hours before his body was found.
Meaning tina was probably the last person to see jack
Before a killer took his life.
And the medical examiner's report confirms something else.
-When we get the autopsy report back,
We learn that we had three shots from some distance
And we had one close range and one at the base of the skull
That was a contact wound
That they determined was the fatal shot.
Five rounds to the back of the head for somebody that's 83,
That's -- that's overkill.
-Overkill is an understatement,
And the detectives aren't the only ones stunned
By the brutality of jack's murder.
When word gets out, the town is in shock.
-Jack's murder is definitely not something you would expect.
Murfreesboro is a safe place to live.
To have a murder happen is out of the ordinary.
The fact that it happens to a retired state trooper
Who was in the military is even more bizarre.
-The detectives want more information
About jack's extra-curricular activities --
The money, the loans, and the moonshine.
So they circle back to jack's house
To see what else they can learn from his neighbors.
-Directly behind jack's house is a duplex that's owned by jack.
And tina's daughter, jessica,
And her live-in boyfriend, robert motter, live there.
They're able to see, you know, what's going on over there.
Robert relays to us that jack had some people
That would work on cleaning his cars
And doing things for him around the house.
-Robert motter said one of the guys
That was working with jack cleaning cars
Apparently had quite an argument with jack about payment.
-It got heated.
Jack told him basically get lost.
And then jack told robert,
"hey, if you see that guy here again, come check on me,
Because it could be bad.
This guy could be coming back to hurt me."
-Jack's comment to robert motter, was,
"someone's not walking away from this.
You know, someone's gonna die.
It's gonna be him, it's gonna be me."
-It's been 72 hours since jack rains was found,
Shot five times in the back of the head.
So far,
The detectives have heard a lot of rumors about jack's life,
But they don't have any concrete suspects.
That is, until a neighbor tells them
About an intense argument jack had with a man
Who was helping him with his car business.
-Robert motter didn't know his name,
But he was able to relay to us
That this gentleman that did the work for jack
Was driving an older style mercedes, golden color.
As soon as we find out what kind of car we're looking for,
I made a phone call to a friend of mine
That works for murfreesboro city and I said,
"hey, I need you to find a guy
That drives this gold mercedes somewhere here in the area."
-As the detectives search for this mystery man
And other leads, jack's funeral services are held.
Unfortunately, jack's wife, ruby,
Whose health continues to decline, is unable to attend.
But the gathering demonstrates the fullness
Of the life jack led.
-To see the turnout of people that supported him,
It was just really amazing.
When he was laid to rest, they had the bagpipe players playing.
They had the infantry there as well.
-He always told me, he said,
"I want a military funeral, no matter what"
And we got it for him.
I saw a lot of people and I appreciate it
And it was real touching.
I've got his flag that they honored him with at home.
-Almost a week into the investigation,
The detectives complete a search of murfreesboro
And the surrounding areas for a gold mercedes.
And it yields one result.
-We located the mercedes and the address in murfreesboro
And we were able to identify the individual as david johnson.
-David johnson is a 46-year-old local,
Who works at a print shop and takes side jobs for extra cash.
His record is dotted with minor offenses.
But is it possible he got so angry at jack rains
That he shot him in the back of the head?
-When we interviewed david johnson,
He tells us that he was at work that day,
That he doesn't know jack rains,
That he has no knowledge of the house
And doesn't know anybody involved.
That was very strange.
-Is david johnson telling the truth,
That he had nothing to do with the crime?
Or is he being evasive?
-David johnson was able to provide documents from work
Showing he was at work.
He had a punch card or a time clock that he punched.
He had some bills that he had paid that day.
And he was able to absolutely put himself
Not anywhere near that crime scene.
Everything checked out and we were able to rule him out.
-The investigators are convinced david johnson is not involved.
So they once again return to some of the shocking stories
They heard about jack from his neighbors
The night his body was found.
-The rumor that jack was seeing a younger woman
Was there from day 1.
It's one of those things you take in
And you file away and it's like, "alright, we'll check on that."
-Apparently, jack rains had been speaking with one
Of his neighbors, troy bell,
About hooking up with a young lady, we'll say.
He was very smitten with her.
Troy doesn't know her identity, but he knows that she's married.
-With their other leads drying up,
The detectives consider the possibility
That jack's alleged affair with this younger woman
May be more relevant than they first thought.
But, for many folks in town,
It's less a possibility and more a probability
And they begin to divulge a shocking twist.
-The town gossip surfaces that tina and jack
Are more than just friends.
-The rumor evolved into,
"well, not only is he seeing a younger woman,
But he's seeing tina williamson."
When we hear that tina and jack
Were having some type of intimate relationship,
That's like..."wow."
-Still, the investigators know
That just because jack's neighbors
Believe he was involved with tina
Doesn't make it so.
-In a small town, it's exciting.
We're in the middle of a murder investigation.
So, it's not uncommon for people to be blabber-mouths.
-If there was something going on,
Jack's family seems to be in the dark.
-When he met tina and her husband, ron,
At first we thought that their relationship,
It's a great thing, you know?
He has somebody that he can talk to
And hang out with and do things that he loves to do.
And then as time went on, he started to hang out
With her more
And didn't come around his own family more
And that was strange to us.
-I didn't know what to think, tell you the truth.
She was awful friendly to daddy,
And I thought that was a little odd, you know.
I thought surely they're not romantically involved.
-They spent a lot of time together
And they have a business together selling cars.
So, that's definitely something we need to look at.
-Rumor is not fact.
But what may seem like idle gossip could be the clue
That breaks the case.
Assuming tina was indeed having an affair with jack,
Then perhaps there's a love triangle behind this murder.
-For ron williamson,
I mean, your good friend is cheating with your wife on you,
Behind your back.
That's not a good place to be put in.
If ron williamson found out
That tina was having an affair with jack rains,
That would solidly put him into the category of a suspect.
♪♪
-For nearly a week,
The investigators have been chasing rumors
About jack rains' complicated life,
Hoping to find a solid suspect in his murder.
Now the detectives are stunned to discover
Not only does there seem to be truth to the gossip
That jack was involved with a younger woman,
But that woman is believed to be his friend
And business partner, tina williamson.
Which raises another dilemma --
Did her husband, ron, know?
-If he found out that tina and jack
Were having a relationship and jack's his friend
And someone he's supposed to trust,
Well, that's a pretty decent red flag.
-Without revealing that they know anything
About the supposed affair,
The investigators question ron again,
Watching closely to see if he gives any indication
That he's aware of the rumors.
-We noticed there was nothing in his responses
To show that ron had any knowledge that tina and jack
Were having a relationship.
Ron tells us, as far as possible suspects,
He doesn't know anybody.
We asked if he had some type of falling out with jack
And he tells us, no, everything was fine.
And he seemed genuinely concerned about jack
And about what had happened.
-The detectives are baffled by his seeming ignorance
Of the local chatter.
-Ron and jack are best friends and they trade guns,
They go to gun shows together.
How is that ron doesn't pick up on this,
If something's going on or does he know?
-With these questions in mind,
The detectives now need to check out ron's alibi
On the day jack was murdered.
-Ron's a truck driver, and ron had a route that day.
Ron and tina indicated that ron was driving that day
And was out of town.
We were able to pull his employee records,
His truck records, find out his log,
Where he was, pull the gps on that truck,
Pulled his phone records,
And we were able to positively put him
Out of state driving his truck.
-Ron's alibi appears solid on the surface,
But he's not cleared of suspicion just yet.
Both ron and tina knew jack had money.
Is it possible the alleged affair was nothing
But a honey trap and ron and tina
Actually conspired to kill jack?
The investigators aren't sure yet.
So, for now, they shift their focus to tina.
-You gotta start following the money at some point
And she's directing you right to it.
-We were looking at the bank records.
He had the account that he and tina
Shared together that they used for the car purchases.
-The bank records also show
That jack had a $100,000 certificate of deposit.
But that's not all tina stood to gain
In the event of jack's death.
-She was going to get the $10,000 bank account,
That was a joint account.
Jack had the $100,000 cd in tina's name.
She would have gotten possession of the duplex.
So, you know, $280,000 worth of assets with jack dead.
The bank people said five days after jack was killed,
Tina went down to the bank
And withdrew the $10,000 out of the business account.
They also said that she was attempting
To withdraw the $100,000 cd, but they paused that.
-She didn't have his death certificate.
That was part of the holdup.
And the people working in the bank,
They got a really weird vibe out of her.
-Tina isn't able to cash in the cd,
But she does have a clear motive for murder,
Whether or not she's having an affair with jack.
So they call her in and confront her directly,
Hoping to learn once and for all
The true nature of their relationship.
-Tina became upset when she was asked
If there was any kind of sexual relationship
Between her and jack. Almost, you know,
Like it was gross that we would even think that.
-Tina continues to deny any romantic affair.
So the detectives switch tactics
And focus on the potential motive.
-My partner, he asked her for something in her purse.
She was showing him the check register.
And in the check register was a title to jack's car.
Then we asked tina about the title, she said,
"well, jack signed that car over to me."
But it's not signed,
And it's got what looks like a blood spot.
When we find the car title and it does have blood on it,
It could be consistent with it being on the table
During the murder.
That's important, that's huge.
We're gonna collect that,
And we're gonna send that off to the lab.
-Before tina leaves,
The investigators collect a dna sample from her
And then submit the car title for immediate testing.
-There was, in fact, blood on that title
And that blood matched back to jack rains.
Very big deal.
The walls are really starting to close in.
-We execute a search warrant of the williamsons' house.
We located a number of personal items
That belonged to jack rains -- identification,
His teamster's card, military I.D., social security card,
Things like that that should have been in his wallet.
-They recover a box of federal brand .22-caliber bullets.
If you remember, it was five federal brand bullets
That were used to kill jack rains.
Five of the bullets are missing
And another brand has been mixed in with them.
-We located several firearms,
One of which was a class match for the firearm
That would have killed jack rains.
-We definitively knew it was a .22 caliber
That killed jack rains.
The investigator discovers a .22-caliber pistol.
It's a revolver.
-Could this be the murder weapon?
The bullets and gun are sent to the lab for testing.
Meanwhile, the detectives gather
Tina's cellphone records in hopes of finding something
That links either her or ron to jack's death.
-We looked at tina's records and at the tower detail,
We were able to see
Where her phone was on the day jack was killed.
-Tina's telling the police that she's at home in woodbury.
Meanwhile the cellphone data is showing
That she's in murfreesboro in the vicinity of jack's house
Right around the time of the murder.
Major contradiction.
-Tina had some kind of red substance on her, like blood.
-If everything goes right,
We'll have her in bracelets tonight.
-A week after jack rains is gunned down
At his kitchen table,
Cellphone data puts his business partner
And supposed lover, tina, near his house
Around the time of the murder.
Tina claims she was home, 20 miles away,
When jack was killed.
But the records tell a different story entirely.
-As the hours progressed,
We could watch as these phone calls
That she was making were actually hitting the tower
Near jack's house,
Then it would hit a tower partway to woodbury,
And then as she got home, it was hitting the towers in woodbury.
-So, who did tina call...
And why?
-So during this time,
Police learned that she called her friend betty olson.
-And as soon as we identified who betty was,
We went to go pay betty a visit to find out,
"hey, betty, we noticed tina called you on this day
That she said she was home. What did y'all talk about?"
Betty was very cooperative.
And betty's like, "well, she called me to get a ride."
We're like, "a ride from where?"
She says, "from murfreesboro,
Sometime between 11:00 and noon on August 31st."
Tina was walking down the road and when she got in the car,
Tina had some kind of red substance on her, like blood.
And tina explained that it was ketchup
Or a tomato that she'd eaten.
It was like, "wow, this is huge!"
Betty was able to tell us
That she had picked her up in murfreesboro
Near walmart on john bragg highway.
-So, walmart is literally just minutes away from jack's house.
It's only about a 5-minute walk.
-Well, walmart has a lot of video.
We asked walmart, "hey, can pull your videos,
Specifically if you have any video
That's shooting out john bragg highway?
Just see what you got."
We pulled that video and right at the time
That tina's making phone calls,
You see this figure walking down john bragg highway,
Exactly where betty picked her up.
-So the evidence is adding up against tina at this point.
Between the cctv footage and the cellphone data,
Things are not looking good for tina.
-The detectives also pick up on one detail from betty
That makes them think tina's actions were premeditated.
-She had made calls to betty saying,
"betty, I'm gonna be calling you,
And I'm gonna be needing a ride from murfreesboro,
And when I call you, you need to be available to come
Pick me up because it's important."
So that tells us she was planning this.
-The investigators are now convinced
That tina is their lead suspect.
But all they have is a circumstantial case
And a lot of unanswered questions,
Starting with, is her husband, ron, involved as well?
So, the detectives come up with a plan
They hope will finally reveal the truth.
♪♪
-We asked betty,
"would you be willing to let us wire you up
And see if you can have some conversation with tina
And see if she'll talk about this ride?"
And betty was like, "yeah, no problem."
Tina was kind of all over the place in that
She was telling betty things that betty knew were lies.
She told betty,
"whatever you do, don't tell police about that ride.
Don't tell them that you picked me up."
We felt pretty comfortable that we were able to rule ron out.
The fact that he was working
And some of the conversations with betty olson and tina
Seemed to indicate
That she was trying to keep all this from ron.
We didn't believe he was involved.
Ron was cleared as a suspect.
At this point, after listening to the wires,
We're pretty convinced tina's the killer.
But it was just another piece of circumstantial evidence.
-Then the investigators get new information
From the forensics team.
-In this case, we know that jack rains was killed
With a .22-caliber revolver.
-During the search at tina's house,
We recovered a smith and wesson .22 revolver, 5-shot
And that was taken to the lab and tested.
And they were able to say
That the gun was consistent with a gun
That would have fired the rounds that killed jack rains.
More importantly,
On the outer cylinder of that gun
Had microscopic spots of human blood.
-Soon, it all comes crashing down on her.
-The detectives investigating the murder of jack rains
Believe his business partner and rumored lover,
38-year-old tina williamson, is the shooter.
Now the circumstantial evidence is piling up.
The discovery of human blood on a gun
That could be the murder weapon
May give them what they need to finally make an arrest.
-We know that one shot was near contact,
So there's a good correlation
Of how that bloodstain got on that pistol.
-But there's a hitch.
-When I tested it,
Unfortunately the spot was only big enough
For me to get a result with the blood color change tests.
Didn't have enough to get a dna profile off of it.
-With the results of the blood test inconclusive,
The investigators hope that jack rains himself
Might finally get them closer to making an arrest.
-At the time when we discovered jack rains,
He only had a t-shirt on and his boxers.
-So when we found out that jack and tina
Were potentially having an intimate relationship together,
We had the boxers tested to see if there was any foreign dna.
-And I got a mixture of dna of jack rains and a female.
And it turns out that that female was tina williamson.
-It's the final nail in the coffin for tina williamson.
Not only was she having an affair with jack,
But she was in his home and intimate with him
Just before he was murdered.
-She had said, more than once, that there's no way.
Not having sex with him,
Not having sexual relations with him.
I was like, "ah, okay.
But you're in the boxers."
They were not just business partners,
They were partners of a more personal nature, let's say.
-We have a large amount of circumstantial evidence.
Each piece by itself isn't anything, but collectively,
Every bit of that points to tina williamson as our killer.
-One night, we got a call from the detectives,
Said that they had a little suspicion about tina.
I said, "tina?" "yeah, tina."
The detective said,
"if everything goes right, we'll have her in bracelets."
-On December 7, 2007,
Tina williamson is charged with first-degree murder
And aggravated robbery
In connection with the killing of jack rains.
-The relationship between ron, tina
And my grandfather,
We never thought in our wildest dreams
That it would, you know, it would end in murder.
-I think money was her main goal.
That's the reason she initiated the relationship to begin with.
I guess he seemed to be an easy target for her.
He paid with his life.
-Tina never did cash in on jack's $100,000 cd.
And in February, 2009, two years after the murder of jack rains,
A jury finds 40-year-old tina williamson guilty.
She is sentenced to life without parole.
-It was very emotional.
It was something that we wanted,
But also hard to hear that someone
That says they loved my grandfather shot and killed him.
-She ripped a lot away from us.
There's been a lot of events in my life
That, you know, she's taken him from.
You know, I've gotten married, you know, two kids,
Some of their activities, you know, he's not a part of it.
-I should have told him,
"daddy, you better leave her alone,
She's nothing but trouble."
But I didn't.

Jack rains fell for a much younger woman.
Someone he took care of and thought he could trust.
But tina williamson was a black widow
And jack got caught in her web, only to find himself...
In a killer relationship.
