1 00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:07,440 [metal grating] 2 00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:13,780 The case was a true whodunit mystery. 3 00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,855 It was just very cold, very calculated. 4 00:00:25,592 --> 00:00:26,593 They were methodical. 5 00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:21,614 [distant sirens wailing] 6 00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:23,850 Our team responded to process the scene. 7 00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:39,598 The body was located in two 55-gallon burn barrels. 8 00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:48,441 the smell was absolutely putrid. 9 00:01:48,541 --> 00:01:49,609 So our team had to get 10 00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,213 respirators from a local fire company. 11 00:01:59,051 --> 00:02:00,286 It was brutal homicide. 12 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:10,030 the most gruesome cases I ever experienced. 13 00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,309 George Newhart. 14 00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:16,796 it actually checked out. 15 00:03:24,304 --> 00:03:25,872 to identify this person. 16 00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:28,541 [Shawn] It was very late when investigators initially got 17 00:03:32,412 --> 00:03:34,948 the following day, on July 13th. 18 00:03:53,633 --> 00:03:55,635 [Jody] In one barrel was the victim's torso, 19 00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:07,580 burnt, which tells us that 20 00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:26,700 was at the properties there's a 10-hour window from when this 21 00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:43,516 the victim from both barrels. 22 00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,853 And they sort of had to figure out, OK, what body parts do 23 00:04:57,731 --> 00:04:59,699 At that point, we couldn't determine if it was 24 00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:00,900 a man or a woman. 25 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:27,287 ground to cover. 26 00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:41,568 This person was killed and dismembered somewhere else. 27 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,716 a 40-foot cable, and it was low. 28 00:06:56,816 --> 00:07:00,153 There was a lock on it, and it would have taken two 29 00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,857 people to get their vehicle underneath that cable, one to 30 00:07:16,369 --> 00:07:18,772 there was no evidence of dragging from the road. 31 00:07:20,807 --> 00:07:25,078 Then the speculation part started, you know. 32 00:07:45,432 --> 00:07:49,736 [Shawn] So we are trying to think like the offender. 33 00:07:57,344 --> 00:08:00,280 Or that someone had more of an intimate knowledge of this 34 00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:17,197 You have this two-pronged approach. 35 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,802 the ground, looking for witnesses, looking for anyone 36 00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:41,621 [Jody] As we begin this process, we know 37 00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:09,082 [Jody] Seeing what happened to this individual makes me sick. 38 00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:18,224 and bring those responsible to justice. 39 00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,964 [Shawn] We know that the body was wrapped in a blue plastic. 40 00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:29,936 and did some research. 41 00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:58,058 [Shawn] It was so disgusting -- you don't get 42 00:10:58,158 --> 00:11:00,026 that smell out of your head. 43 00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:03,229 Who would go through these lengths to get rid of a body? 44 00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:08,668 We knew that we were dealing with something 45 00:11:28,288 --> 00:11:32,759 dismembered and burned in a couple burn barrels. 46 00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:43,570 Number two, we have to identify that person in order to 47 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,130 we could to identify the victim. 48 00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:37,323 a face of this victim. 49 00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:44,464 We were hoping to get some type of face out there. 50 00:12:51,171 --> 00:12:52,706 We were doing everything we could. 51 00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:31,644 You have the human emotion 52 00:13:34,848 --> 00:13:36,282 but we were never gonna give up. 53 00:13:36,383 --> 00:13:39,152 We weren't going to stop fighting for that victim. 54 00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:42,088 And so we continued and continued and continued 55 00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:09,949 responsible for this really get away with murder? 56 00:14:38,712 --> 00:14:40,747 a Kingston Township home where he lived. 57 00:14:51,257 --> 00:14:54,227 before they found the body in Jackson Township. 58 00:15:07,474 --> 00:15:10,443 He burned his victims to ash, literally. 59 00:15:23,957 --> 00:15:26,760 find out, is there a nexus between the two cases? 60 00:15:32,532 --> 00:15:36,069 We knew we had to keep pressing on, and it really all came back 61 00:15:58,692 --> 00:16:00,827 through the system as many times as it takes, 62 00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:15,542 [Shawn] Lo and behold, in November of 2003, we get a hit on 63 00:16:58,018 --> 00:17:00,286 picture of who Bob is. 64 00:17:10,296 --> 00:17:11,865 Bob was my stepbrother. 65 00:17:17,837 --> 00:17:23,042 When I first met Bob and got to know him, 66 00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:47,200 I had moved to Reno and was starting work at the new hotel. 67 00:18:06,152 --> 00:18:08,555 Bob was just part of the family. 68 00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:31,311 After the Marines, Bob had relocated to the East Coast. 69 00:18:31,411 --> 00:18:34,714 Bob's mother told me, you know, like, that he had moved 70 00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:51,297 No matter what, he would never miss her birthday. 71 00:19:02,742 --> 00:19:05,879 his remains had been identified as a murder victim 72 00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:20,226 being, and then just dumping like a piece of garbage. 73 00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:26,566 They didn't care about anything except covering up 74 00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:51,157 maybe we've met our match. 75 00:20:23,323 --> 00:20:24,324 of the victim, 76 00:20:28,762 --> 00:20:30,130 Bob Roudebush. 77 00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:37,070 [Jody] It's like a shot of adrenaline. 78 00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:39,472 But we still didn't have a crime scene as to where 79 00:20:42,876 --> 00:20:46,579 These individuals were smart enough to transport that body 80 00:20:50,717 --> 00:20:53,053 the point of not identifying the victim. 81 00:20:53,153 --> 00:20:54,654 Fortunately, that didn't happen. 82 00:21:17,877 --> 00:21:18,945 It was strained. 83 00:21:23,483 --> 00:21:26,252 We asked, "Is there anyone that would want to hurt Bob? 84 00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:36,496 [Jody] When you have Hugo Selenski burning bodies on his property, 85 00:21:36,596 --> 00:21:38,765 it's only logical to think that there may be -- 86 00:21:38,865 --> 00:21:41,468 there may be a connection between the two. 87 00:21:57,217 --> 00:22:02,255 see if there had been anything new about what had happened 88 00:22:02,355 --> 00:22:04,624 and any suspects. 89 00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:09,462 There was sadness, there was an emptiness that was there, 90 00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:27,180 But at the end of the day, it got very frustrating because 91 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,184 every lead, every idea, everything we tried 92 00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:45,331 Around the time we released the identity to the press, 93 00:22:45,432 --> 00:22:50,036 we received a call from James Britton, an inmate who says 94 00:22:50,136 --> 00:22:54,207 he has information regarding this investigation. 95 00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:23,636 and I conducted an interview. 96 00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:31,044 Wilkes-Barre with his wife, Stacy. 97 00:23:36,082 --> 00:23:38,451 friends with the victim because they were ex-Marines, 98 00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:16,589 at the Brittons' house on July 4th, but he didn't show up, 99 00:24:16,690 --> 00:24:19,526 and James said he never talked to him again. 100 00:24:27,434 --> 00:24:30,370 James went on to tell us a story how he was assaulted by 101 00:24:36,076 --> 00:24:41,348 and threatened to rape his wife all over a stolen MP3 player. 102 00:24:50,457 --> 00:24:52,025 your skull like Bob. 103 00:24:56,096 --> 00:24:59,766 James was completely putting it out there that Larry Tooley 104 00:25:03,370 --> 00:25:05,472 and that he didn't want to end up like him. 105 00:25:06,873 --> 00:25:09,509 This is a shocking development for the investigators. 106 00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:31,564 during a home invasion. 107 00:25:31,664 --> 00:25:35,168 Now, Bob was discovered in July of 2002. 108 00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:41,007 So there was a lot of interest in Larry Tooley at this point. 109 00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:51,151 James was very believable, and he became 110 00:26:11,571 --> 00:26:15,075 They want to get ahold of James's wife, Stacy. 111 00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:22,782 [Shawn] I reached out to Stacy Britton. 112 00:26:22,882 --> 00:26:26,319 She immediately goes into Larry Tooley and talking about being 113 00:26:54,547 --> 00:26:58,518 information, but she gave a few extra tidbits. 114 00:27:12,232 --> 00:27:14,701 would go back and forth between Wilkes-Barre and Newark, 115 00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:15,869 New Jersey for business. 116 00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:18,405 I said, "Well, would you ever stop anywhere?" 117 00:27:21,775 --> 00:27:24,377 She said, "Well, my brother lives near there, 118 00:28:04,851 --> 00:28:09,923 [Shawn] I knew that once the victim was identified, we would make moves 119 00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:26,239 So we're gonna explore every possible aspect before we make 120 00:29:31,137 --> 00:29:33,907 She says, "Listen, I wasn't having an affair with 121 00:29:34,007 --> 00:29:36,042 Bob Roudebush." 122 00:29:36,142 --> 00:29:38,611 She said, "They're liars, don't believe anything 123 00:29:38,712 --> 00:29:39,713 that they say." 124 00:29:51,725 --> 00:29:56,029 In fact, the girlfriend said she only saw Bob 125 00:30:13,046 --> 00:30:15,915 as a deflection, you know, and trying to give, 126 00:30:16,016 --> 00:30:17,350 like, a smokescreen. 127 00:30:17,450 --> 00:30:19,486 They definitely knew more than they were saying. 128 00:30:21,955 --> 00:30:24,791 [Shawn] The Brittons had been very believable. 129 00:30:46,312 --> 00:30:47,580 [Jody] Anyone could have done it. 130 00:30:52,018 --> 00:30:56,589 but we still need that one clue or piece of evidence 131 00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:58,625 to push us in the right direction. 132 00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:19,679 It seemed to me like James did wanna talk. 133 00:31:26,152 --> 00:31:27,954 and she shut down the interview. 134 00:32:23,977 --> 00:32:27,213 directions but it doesn't seem like it's leading to the person 135 00:32:27,313 --> 00:32:29,149 or people who committed this murder. 136 00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:48,034 I couldn't believe that she was reaching out again 137 00:32:50,437 --> 00:32:54,574 She said she and James weren't husband and wife anymore, 138 00:32:54,674 --> 00:32:57,644 but they were living together and things weren't going well. 139 00:33:09,756 --> 00:33:12,325 but she wanted to tell us a story. 140 00:33:12,425 --> 00:33:16,196 I knew that that was a tipping point, 141 00:33:30,377 --> 00:33:34,247 On August 14, 2015, we finally got that break. 142 00:33:52,132 --> 00:33:53,333 just like that. 143 00:33:53,433 --> 00:33:56,836 And we felt we had enough to charge James. 144 00:33:56,936 --> 00:34:01,341 So we took James into custody and we set up 145 00:34:08,815 --> 00:34:11,885 And that's where James went into his version of what 146 00:35:08,041 --> 00:35:11,611 At this point Stacy and James are both trying to pin it on 147 00:35:11,711 --> 00:35:14,748 each other and investigators have to figure out 148 00:35:14,848 --> 00:35:16,716 what really happened to Bob. 149 00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:13,740 [Michael] Now it started to become more like a cat and mouse scenario 150 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,977 and with every increase in detail, Stacy was becoming more 151 00:36:18,078 --> 00:36:19,379 and more of an active participant. 152 00:36:22,349 --> 00:36:23,583 [Shawn] We had more questions. 153 00:36:28,188 --> 00:36:29,756 stations, and that's where they conducted 154 00:36:45,705 --> 00:36:49,209 her own confession to what she had done. 155 00:37:32,285 --> 00:37:35,155 And they proceeded to go to North Road. 156 00:37:35,255 --> 00:37:38,358 And someone had to hold the cable. 157 00:38:02,649 --> 00:38:04,250 lit the remains on fire 158 00:38:10,657 --> 00:38:13,760 killing Bob, that she was going to be OK, 159 00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:15,428 and wouldn't be arrested. 160 00:38:30,043 --> 00:38:34,614 [Michael] It appeared Stacy was going to beat James to the punch by 161 00:39:23,129 --> 00:39:24,964 that was the best evidence. 162 00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:31,538 So investigators arrest both James and Stacy. 163 00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:49,189 [news broadcast] After 14 years of police trying to find the person 164 00:39:57,831 --> 00:40:01,601 [Will] November of 2016, Stacy Britton is convicted of 165 00:40:30,330 --> 00:40:31,564 [Jody] This is the Super Bowl, 166 00:40:32,966 -->
