of Butch Casey. 51 00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:31,051 When he gets to the house, after he knocks 52 00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,720 on the front door, he makes his way around 53 00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:33,754

00:03:09,757 --> 00:03:11,292 This is the route I took down 33rd Street 67 00:03:11,392 --> 00:03:13,827 to get to Miramar Isles to get to East Shore Drive, 68 00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:16,264 and then

one knowing. 74 00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:31,579 When I pulled up, 75 00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:34,248 there was police cars everywhere. 76 00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:38,986 Crime scene tape, detectives at the

00:04:00,207 The front door was locked. 86 00:04:00,308 --> 00:04:02,643 It appeared that all the windows were closed and locked, 87 00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:05,446 but they found the back sliding glass door unlocked. 88 00:04:08,516 --> 00:04:09,850 FEBRO: The house backed up 89 00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,552 to a lake, and then there were a bunch 90 00:04:11,652 --> 00:04:14,755 of finger canals,

Looked like some burglars came in and had ransacked the house 100 00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:44,284 to look for money. 101 00:04:44,385 --> 00:04:46,620 The entire house, other than maybe the bedrooms, 102 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,591 were all marble tile floors, and there was blood drippings 103 00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:52,225 on the tile. 104 00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:54,562 And there was a shoe

Absolutely. 366 00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:54,474 But given that it's 1994, they weren't able to identify 367 00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,143 exactly who the other profiles are. 368 00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:58,545 MURPHY: In 1994, DNA analysis 369 00:17:58,645 --> 00:18:00,280 was continuing to evolve. 370 00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,615 And at that time, what was required 371 00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:04,917 was a large 372 00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:07,620 collection of DNA in a pristine condition 373 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,658 where it hasn't been adulterated by another person's DNA 374 00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:15,962 or an outside chemical that happened to get on that shirt. 375 00:18:16,062 --> 00:18:19,399 To get that exact analysis 376 00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:21,601 in 1994 was rather difficult. 377 00:18:21,701 --> 00:18:23,770 MARTINEZ: So even though there was 378 00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:25,538 two sets of DNA on the shirt, 379 00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:27,540 it was ultimately a dead end. 380 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,709 MURPHY: When an investigation hits a wall, 381 00:18:29,809 --> 00:18:32,812 a detective will reach out to the law enforcement community, 382 00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:35,715 professionals, people that you trust. 383 00:18:35,815 --> 00:18:38,251 So now we have our flyers out there with all the local police, 384 00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:40,253 asking anybody for any potential leads. 385 00:18:42,855 --> 00:18:46,092 Investigators received a call from the Palm Beach County 386 00:18:46,193 --> 00:18:47,594 Florida Fire Department. 387 00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:49,662 They'd found a... 388 00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:52,465 black convertible Mercedes-Benz on fire. 389 00:18:53,533 --> 00:18:54,834 The tags on the car 390 00:18:54,934 --> 00:18:56,269 came back to Butch Casey. 391 00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:58,438 MARTINEZ: This was a huge break 392 00:18:58,538 --> 00:18:59,806 for the case 393 00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:01,941 because Butch's neighbor 394 00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:04,311 stated he saw two males 395 00:19:04,411 --> 00:19:06,879 getting into the black Mercedes next door. 396 00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,948 So we can assume that it was driven 397 00:19:09,048 --> 00:19:13,186 from the home by the same person that committed the murder. 398 00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:16,256 They might still have an attempt at DNA samples. 399 00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:20,960 The responding crime scene investigators 400 00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:24,897 collected various samples and submitted them 401 00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:26,766 for analysis at the lab. 402 00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:29,469 Usually, when vehicles are torched, 403 00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:32,472 the heat and the flames will kill off any DNA. 404 00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:33,673 It's 98% water. 405 00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,342 So amongst the water, you know, the sweat, 406 00:19:35,442 --> 00:19:37,344 amino acids, things like that, all of that will evaporate, 407 00:19:37,444 --> 00:19:41,013 given that the fire would reach such a high degree of intensity. 408 00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,716 But despite the extent 409 00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:46,653 of the damage from being set on fire, 410 00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:50,156 they were able to lift a couple fingerprints 411 00:19:50,257 --> 00:19:52,292 from the vehicle door handles. 412 00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:54,861 The fact that they were able to get some prints off of it, 413 00:19:54,961 --> 00:19:56,396 that was amazing. 414 00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:58,365 Unfortunately for this case... 415 00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:01,934 ...it wasn't a hit in the AFIS system, 416 00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,070 which stands for Automated Fingerprint 417 00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:05,705 Identification System, 418 00:20:05,805 --> 00:20:08,508 the database that is used by crime scene investigators 419 00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:11,844 to upload any prints that may have been collected 420 00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:14,347 and then make an identification 421 00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:17,517 off of the names that are stored in the database. 422 00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:20,587 It's just dead end after dead end. 423 00:20:24,624 --> 00:20:26,626 MURPHY: You're looking for potential leads anywhere 424 00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:28,461 you can find them, so investigators 425 00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:30,830 go back to the crime scene. 426 00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:32,064 While I was at the crime scene, 427 00:20:32,164 --> 00:20:35,868 I was next to an entertainment center, 428 00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:38,271 and there was a red light that was illuminated. 429 00:20:38,371 --> 00:20:40,740 That meant something was being recorded. 430 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,410 Just a couple feet from me, 431 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:46,546 I look over and they've got all these potted plants 432 00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:48,281 on top of the entertainment center. 433 00:20:48,381 --> 00:20:50,249 And I notice that there was a couple 434 00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:51,451 that were pulled a little bit apart. 435 00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:53,353 So I said, oh, what's back there? 436 00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:55,722 So I pull the plants apart, 437 00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:58,691 and there was a camera on a tripod. 438 00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:01,227 And I looked at the crime scene tech 439 00:21:01,328 --> 00:21:05,097 and I said, "No, it couldn't be." 440 00:21:05,197 --> 00:21:07,133 They said, "Well, you think we could 441 00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:09,101 take a look and see what that's recording?" 442 00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:11,103 It appeared that Butch had set this up 443 00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:13,306 to record, for whatever reason. 444 00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,776 MURPHY: Why would Butch Casey have 445 00:21:16,876 --> 00:21:18,177 a video camera hidden 446 00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:19,612 inside of his house? 447 00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:21,414 I'm going to guess that the investigator 448 00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:22,849 that found that is like, 449 00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,351 "Guys, you're not going to believe this." 450 00:21:24,451 --> 00:21:26,453 I don't know. But here's the bottom line. 451 00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:28,521 Did Butch put that camera up there 452 00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,256 and record his own murder? 453 00:21:38,665 --> 00:21:40,700 MARINEZ: There is a huge break in the case 454 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,371 when one of the investigators notices that there is 455 00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:48,007 a surveillance camera in Butch's living room. 456 00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:51,277 Even more lucky than this was found was the fact 457 00:21:51,378 --> 00:21:53,746 that the camera was pointed in the very direction 458 00:21:53,846 --> 00:21:56,416 of where the entire incident took place. 459 00:21:58,050 --> 00:21:59,786 Could this camera have caught 460 00:21:59,886 --> 00:22:02,054 Sharon, Marie's and Butch's murder?

We've got them on tape killing this guy. 591 00:29:16,789 --> 00:29:18,891 But then reality sets in when you watch the tape. 592 00:29:20,526 --> 00:29:24,997 This is 1994, and you realize it's in black and white. 593 00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:27,066 And the quality of the cameras were not 594 00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:29,001 4K, like we have today. 595 00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,872 You've got to look at an investigation 596 00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:34,540 from how a defense attorney is going to look at it. 597 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,708 'Cause he's going to try and pick apart everything 598 00:29:36,809 --> 00:29:38,710 in your case that you're using as evidence. 599 00:29:40,046 --> 00:29:42,348 Investigators could tell from that video 600 00:29:42,448 --> 00:29:43,382 that suspect number two 601 00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,351 was approximately six feet tall, 602 00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:48,254 roughly 170 pounds, brown hair. 603 00:29:48,354 --> 00:29:50,289 But is that descriptive enough? 604 00:29:53,025 --> 00:29:55,394 So the investigators decided to send that tape 605 00:29:55,494 --> 00:29:59,231 to the FBI to see, could this be enhanced any? 606 00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:02,368 My understanding of the enhancement process 607 00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:04,837 at that time is they had to take still photographs 608 00:30:04,937 --> 00:30:06,505 taken from the videotape, 609 00:30:06,605 --> 00:30:09,675 and that is what the Bureau tries to enhance. 610 00:30:09,775 --> 00:30:11,677 And I'm sure it was state of the art at the time. 611 00:30:11,777 --> 00:30:16,682 They could maybe reduce some of the motion blur involved, 612 00:30:16,782 --> 00:30:18,750 because, you know, on a video, people are moving. 613 00:30:18,851 --> 00:30:21,087 But it was nothing like you could do today. 614 00:30:21,187 --> 00:30:24,623 So it's not that final "gotcha" piece of evidence, you know, 615 00:30:24,723 --> 00:30:26,993 that you're going to have to convict somebody in a trial. 616 00:30:27,093 --> 00:30:28,627 And then once it was enhanced, 617 00:30:28,727 --> 00:30:30,096 they had a sketch artist come in. 618 00:30:31,197 --> 00:30:33,232 What we learned is that the clarity of the picture 619 00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:34,666 still wasn't there. 620 00:30:34,766 --> 00:30:37,769 It was still hard to identify the assailants. 621 00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:41,507 The sketch artist was able to draw a picture without having 622 00:30:41,607 --> 00:30:44,510 the blurriness associated with enhancing a photograph. 623 00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:47,579 Law enforcement released a composite sketch 624 00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,281 of the two possible offenders 625 00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:52,784 to the public and media outlets in efforts 626 00:30:52,885 --> 00:30:54,620 to have someone come forward 627 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,889 and identify who these people may be. 628 00:30:57,890 --> 00:30:59,892 MURPHY: A few weeks later, on July 14, 629 00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:02,328 Metro Dade Police investigated a home invasion 630 00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:04,263 in which two suspects were arrested. 631 00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:06,232 When they took the suspects to the station, 632 00:31:06,332 --> 00:31:08,600 one of the officers realized that the suspects looked 633 00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,469 very much like the composite drawing 634 00:31:10,569 --> 00:31:13,305 that Miramar Police had distributed to everyone. 635 00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:16,608 So they contacted the detective in charge at Miramar PD, 636 00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:17,910 said, "Hey, you may want to come down 637 00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:19,011 and take a look at this person." 638 00:31:19,111 --> 00:31:20,646 And, "It looks an awful lot 639 00:31:20,746 --> 00:31:22,481 like the person in your drawing." 640 00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:25,517 Investigators from Miramar PD went down 641 00:31:25,617 --> 00:31:28,387 to see these two potential suspects in the murder case-- 642 00:31:28,487 --> 00:31:32,491 Pablo Ibar and Francisco Rincon. 643 00:31:32,591 --> 00:31:35,527 The sketch of Ibar, 644 00:31:35,627 --> 00:31:37,229 there's no doubt in my mind that's him. 645 00:31:37,329 --> 00:31:38,864 Unfortunately, the second assailant kept 646 00:31:38,965 --> 00:31:40,866 his hat and glasses on all the time, 647 00:31:40,967 --> 00:31:43,469 so the identifying characteristics are not there 648 00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:46,138 like they are with Pablo's drawing. 649 00:31:47,173 --> 00:31:49,208 As this investigation has developed, 650 00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:52,178 we now know that Pablo and his crew have been involved 651 00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:53,980 in another home invasion robbery. 652 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,982 They're known to be very violent. 653 00:31:56,082 --> 00:31:59,151 They're known to assault anybody and everybody 654 00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:00,752 to control the situation. 655 00:32:02,121 --> 00:32:04,991 MARTINEZ: While under arrest, law enforcement collected 656 00:32:05,091 --> 00:32:08,460 the shoes that were being worn by Francisco and Pablo 657 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,496 in an effort to compare 658 00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:13,299 the bottom of the shoes to the bloody footprint 659 00:32:13,399 --> 00:32:14,700 that was located on the crime scene. 660 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,802 MURPHY: You have an expert do an analysis. 661 00:32:16,902 --> 00:32:18,870 Do any of these shoes match? 662 00:32:18,971 --> 00:32:20,939 The shoes from Pablo didn't match. 663 00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:24,910 However, the shoes that Rincon had on in jail... 664 00:32:25,011 --> 00:32:26,678 Guess what? 665 00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:28,914 They matched the bloody footprint. 666 00:32:32,718 --> 00:32:34,920 Law enforcement approached Rincon-- 667 00:32:35,021 --> 00:32:36,255 "Hey, what's going on here? 668 00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:38,524 "Why do you have these shoes on 669 00:32:38,624 --> 00:32:40,026 that match from the murder site?" 670 00:32:40,126 --> 00:32:41,193 Of course... 671 00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,095 (chuckling) he wants nothing to do with that. 672 00:32:43,195 --> 00:32:45,697 So he explains that Pablo Ibar 673 00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,934 and a third roommate share a place together, 674 00:32:49,035 --> 00:32:50,136 and it's not unusual for us 675 00:32:50,236 --> 00:32:51,537 to change clothing, to change shoes. 676 00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:53,305 We wear each other's clothes all the time. 677 00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:56,642 What he says is those shoes actually belong to Pablo Ibar. 678 00:32:56,742 --> 00:33:00,046 MARTINEZ: Pablo said that was a lie. 679 00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:01,847 He stated that he lives with his mother 680 00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:04,283 and provided his mother's address. 681 00:33:04,383 --> 00:33:06,085 So, of course, the investigators go to the mom's house. 682 00:33:06,185 --> 00:33:07,386 Now, remember, 683 00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:09,621 Pablo's in custody down in Dade County. 684 00:33:09,721 --> 00:33:12,091 They show Pablo's mom 685 00:33:12,191 --> 00:33:14,360 the composite drawing, and she immediately 686 00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:15,794 identifies it as her son, 687 00:33:15,894 --> 00:33:18,197 Pablo Ibar. 688 00:33:18,297 --> 00:33:19,431 They also learned 689 00:33:19,531 --> 00:33:21,900 that Pablo's mother works for a company called 690 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,535 Consolidated Electric. 691 00:33:24,803 --> 00:33:27,473 If you remember the blue shirt that was found in the front yard 692 00:33:27,573 --> 00:33:29,741 that's being tested for DNA, 693 00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:31,009 what was on that shirt? 694 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:32,178 Consolidated Electric. 695 00:33:32,278 --> 00:33:34,680 MARTINEZ: Which ties in Pablo 696 00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:37,116 via his mother and her employment, 697 00:33:37,216 --> 00:33:38,617 but also the fact that Sharon's DNA 698 00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:40,919 was found on the T-shirt. 699 00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:42,821 So the real question is, 700 00:33:42,921 --> 00:33:44,923 why is the victim's DNA on that shirt? 701 00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,799 * * 702 00:33:56,535 --> 00:34:00,139 MARTINEZ: After investigators go to Pablo's mother's house, 703 00:34:00,239 --> 00:34:03,642 detectives execute a search warrant to Pablo's apartment. 704 00:34:03,742 --> 00:34:06,312 They find a box of latex gloves 705 00:34:06,412 --> 00:34:09,581 and also a operator's manual 706 00:34:09,681 --> 00:34:12,217 for a firearm known as a TEC-9. 707 00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:16,588 MURPHY: That's not a common weapon for people to own. 708 00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:19,257 For me, creates suspicion that whoever has 709 00:34:19,358 --> 00:34:20,592 possession of that TEC-9 710 00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:23,895 may be involved in some criminal activities. 711 00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,165 We know on the video that we saw 712 00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:29,235 what we believe is a TEC-9 machine pistol. 713 00:34:30,202 --> 00:34:31,670 Are these the same? 714 00:34:35,841 --> 00:34:38,310 At the house, they come across Jean Klimeczko. 715 00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:40,746 Now, Klimeczko said he's only been staying there 716 00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:42,214 just for a short amount of time. 717 00:34:42,313 --> 00:34:45,484 Says he's not involved in this triple homicide. 718 00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:47,253 They show him a composite drawing, 719 00:34:47,353 --> 00:34:49,721 and he identifies the people 720 00:34:49,821 --> 00:34:52,224 in the composite drawing as Pablo, 721 00:34:52,324 --> 00:34:55,092 and another guy named Seth Penalver, 722 00:34:55,194 --> 00:34:58,130 who might be the guy with the hat and the glasses on. 723 00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:02,100 He looks like the person holding the TEC-9, 724 00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:03,835 the one that assaults Butch immediately. 725 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:07,206 They ask Jean Klimeczko what he knows about 726 00:35:07,306 --> 00:35:11,109 that particular date and time, on June 26, 727 00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,044 the day the three murders were committed. 728 00:35:13,145 --> 00:35:15,581 Here comes Pablo and Seth into the house, and he said, 729 00:35:15,681 --> 00:35:17,149 Pablo goes into his bedroom, 730 00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:19,985 comes out with a TEC-9 nine-millimeter machine pistol. 731 00:35:20,085 --> 00:35:21,720 And Pablo and Seth leave. 732 00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:24,923 Later that morning, after 7:30 a.m., 733 00:35:25,023 --> 00:35:26,658 well, here comes Pablo and Seth back. 734 00:35:26,758 --> 00:35:27,893 And they've got 735 00:35:27,993 --> 00:35:29,928 Pablo's maroon car." 736 00:35:30,028 --> 00:35:33,031 And Klimeczko looks outside and sees a black Mercedes 737 00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,667 convertible sitting in the driveway as well. 738 00:35:38,036 --> 00:35:40,772 The detectives go to Casey's Nickelodeon. 739 00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:42,641 They made contact with the bar manager, 740 00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:46,144 who recognized Seth and Pablo's pictures. 741 00:35:46,245 --> 00:35:47,846 He said he did, in fact, 742 00:35:47,946 --> 00:35:51,850 see Pablo and Seth that night at the bar, 743 00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:54,720 that they were frequent customers and that they were 744 00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:56,988 looking at Butch. 745 00:35:57,088 --> 00:35:58,156 But he didn't think much of it. 746 00:35:58,257 --> 00:36:00,025 Just because of the type of person that Butch is, 747 00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:01,560 he would call a lot of attention to himself. 748 00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:02,794 He was flashy. 749 00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:04,630 He carried large amounts of cash. 750 00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:06,765 So he could have been at the club, 751 00:36:06,865 --> 00:36:08,467 maybe took out money, 752 00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:11,237 and someone saw him and then followed them home. 753 00:36:12,238 --> 00:36:15,474 MURPHY: Now that the investigators have placed Pablo and Seth 754 00:36:15,574 --> 00:36:17,609 at the club the night before the murders... 755 00:36:19,278 --> 00:36:20,546 ...our final theory is 756 00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:22,581 that this is a burglary that went wrong. 757 00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:26,618 Pablo and Seth decided to rob Butch. 758 00:36:27,619 --> 00:36:29,455 So after leaving the club, 759 00:36:29,555 --> 00:36:32,524 Butch, Marie and Sharon come back to Butch's house. 760 00:36:32,624 --> 00:36:34,993 Pablo and Seth followed him. 761 00:36:36,295 --> 00:36:38,564 They came in through the sliding glass door. 762 00:36:38,664 --> 00:36:40,866 They encountered Butch Casey. 763 00:36:40,966 --> 00:36:44,836 Seth immediately struck Butch and knocked him to the ground. 764 00:36:44,936 --> 00:36:46,838 Sharon went into a bedroom area, 765 00:36:46,938 --> 00:36:50,242 and Pablo follows her in there to get control of her. 766 00:36:50,342 --> 00:36:52,110 Pablo comes out of the room 767 00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:53,512 asking questions to Butch. 768 00:36:53,612 --> 00:36:55,113 And then he'll run back into the bedroom 769 00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,349 and search for things of value. 770 00:36:57,449 --> 00:37:00,619 Eventually, Pablo brings Sharon out of that bedroom 771 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,087 with her feet bound. 772 00:37:02,187 --> 00:37:04,356 And she was laid next to Marie. 773 00:37:05,357 --> 00:37:07,659 It got to the point where Seth and Pablo became 774 00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:11,863 so flustered that they executed Sharon and Marie 775 00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:13,732 along with Butch. 776 00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:16,902 On the way out of the house, 777 00:37:17,002 --> 00:37:20,339 Pablo left bloody footprints on the floor. 778 00:37:21,973 --> 00:37:25,511 And Pablo threw that shirt down in the front yard. 779 00:37:28,146 --> 00:37:31,517 And they make their getaway in Butch's Mercedes. 780 00:37:36,955 --> 00:37:39,291 MARTINEZ: On August 25, 1994, 781 00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:41,760 two months after the triple homicide, 782 00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:45,431 Pablo Ibar and Seth Penalver were indicted. 783 00:37:47,032 --> 00:37:48,667 BOWIE: Nothing really prepares you to go to court. 784 00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:49,968 I didn't want to have to sit in there one day 785 00:37:50,068 --> 00:37:51,169 and see any of them. 786 00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:54,105 But who's gonna be there for my sister? 787 00:37:54,205 --> 00:37:58,344 So we were there every single day. 788 00:37:59,378 --> 00:38:01,947 MURPHY: When the case finally goes to trial, 789 00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:03,682 it resulted in a hung jury. 790 00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,318 Now, that resulted in a second trial. 791 00:38:06,418 --> 00:38:07,586 But this time, 792 00:38:07,686 --> 00:38:09,287 the defendants have been separated 793 00:38:09,388 --> 00:38:10,822 and go through individual trials. 794 00:38:10,922 --> 00:38:12,324 In both trials, 795 00:38:12,424 --> 00:38:15,427 both defendants were found guilty and sentenced to death. 796 00:38:17,563 --> 00:38:19,498 BOWIE: You know, you think you're done. 797 00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:22,067 Guilty, guilty. 798 00:38:24,235 --> 00:38:25,604 And you feel like I could breathe a little bit, 799 00:38:25,704 --> 00:38:27,939 like, I don't have to come back down here. 800 00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,241 We finally had, like, a period of a couple of years 801 00:38:30,342 --> 00:38:32,711 where we didn't have to live in this space anymore. 802 00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:37,683 MURPHY: In 2012, 803 00:38:37,783 --> 00:38:40,051 after almost two decades in prison, 804 00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:43,288 Seth's case was overturned, 805 00:38:43,389 --> 00:38:45,724 and he was found innocent. 806 00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:48,527 Seth Penalver was released from prison. 807 00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:51,563 How did that happen? 808 00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:54,633 Pablo Ibar's mom recanted her statement. 809 00:38:54,733 --> 00:38:56,702 Jean Klimeczko recanted his statement, 810 00:38:56,802 --> 00:38:58,003 and it was determined 811 00:38:58,103 --> 00:39:00,071 that there was no forensic evidence 812 00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:02,240 that would result in a conviction. 813 00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,477 BOWIE: I was just shocked. 814 00:39:05,577 --> 00:39:06,978 But that jury 815 00:39:07,078 --> 00:39:09,781
