foreign [Music] for an 18 year old girl to be brutally murdered you're either dealing with a sick son of a or somebody trying to dispose of some evidence [Music] was I obsessed absolutely I was I did receive death threats but it wasn't about to stop there were eight people that last Saw Shannon alive one of the kids knew something about the case someone was lying when an investigation runs out of leads becomes a Cold Case years pass and hope fails but for the families of the victims these cases are never cold [Music] the truth takes time foreign single father Bob Siders leaves to work the night shift at the local bottling plant his only daughter 18 year old Shannon spends the evening with friends when Bob returns home the next morning Shannon is gone and the town of nuego would be haunted with a question for 25 years who killed Shannon cyters foreign [Music] alive I was working for Pepsi Cola on third shift I started at midnight and I got out at 8 30 in the morning and when I come home Shannon was nowhere to be found I made a few phone calls to a couple of friends I've asked to shoot with them called some parents to find out if possibly they knew where Shannon was I actually went outside and hollered around the neighborhood because sometimes he'd be around the neighbor's house and there was no response I finally went to the local state police post the reporter is a missing person my daughter she was a typical young child growing up you know inquisitive when she was younger my wife decided she didn't want to stay married anymore so we ended up getting divorced and I got custody so I ended up raising Shannon she was missing let's find her and bring her home there were so many different things that Bob did to get the word out about his daughter he did everything he could in his power to say hey my daughter is missing what do you know about this I had missing person flyer sprinted up and sent copies of the Flyers to every police post on the stage there were a lot of sightings around town people that knew her came into the police and said I saw her and they were certain that it was her one of the tips that came in indicated that there was a Shannon hiding out at a drug house in a nearby town the girl was hiding from her father and she didn't want to go home police go out to the dope house this is a small community how many Shannons could be hiding from their dad unfortunately it wasn't the right Shannon [Music] after Shannon went missing people are talking rumors are flying I was 15 years old working at the Sheriff's Department I answer a phone call the voice was excited he was almost yelling into the phone he said I just killed chin Insiders and then he hung up I didn't know what to do and I just started crying they detective at the time talked to me about the phone call it was chased on extensively but nothing came from at the time that phone call came in we had only known that she'd been missing without my God maybe Shannon had been murdered it was Labor Day weekend of 1989. two individuals were out in the woods kind of in the middle of the forest where it was off the beaten path and they came across two separate pieces of identification the cards both had Shannon's name on it one of the Michigan State Troopers went out to the location where these cards were found in addition to the cards there was a pair of blue jeans if the jeans do belong to Shannon then that would lead me to believe that something probably pretty bad it had happened to her the area where these things were found they called it the hole in the woods it was a well-known party spot for local kids I'd gone altered myself for my teenage years but didn't know that that was the spot where they went Bob Siders went out and looked in the area and I at that point was very in a word I was looking for either a body or a grave you talk about ESP and communicating with the dude I believe in some of that I think I think some people have that ability not everybody and I've determined that I don't [Music] because she didn't say Dad I'm over here [Music] oh the south end of the Manistee National Forest this is the same location where Shannon's two pieces of identification had been followed a month earlier in western Michigan deer hunting is a big deal so a hunter was walking back into the the plantings of the Red Pine Plantation the Hunter went to the state police post in Newaygo and reported it we got a phone call about 10 o'clock and my girlfriend at the time Linda answered the phone and I had trouble with this part and she said when he has to talk to you she was the owner of a local bar and restaurant that we frequented so she gave me the phone and she said Bob they uh they found the body up here and they think it's in and the police were looking for you I said okay I got to the state police post around midnight they were waiting for me and I talked to detector Miller he told me had I going up into the Woodline I would have found her that's where she was Shannon's body was found almost three months of the day from when she was reported missing local medical examiner was brought in the injuries were examined thoroughly she had several injuries in several different locations she was brutally beaten and ultimately the cause of death was blunt force trauma to her head [Music] there was evidence to suggest that she had been victim to rape due to the position she was found on her back with her legs somewhat spread her shirt was pulled up above where her breasts would have been and her panties were pulled down and were only around one leg the skin around her perineum around her genitalia appeared to have been incised or cut there was some mutilation we're either dealing with a sick son of a or or you're dealing with somebody trying to dispose of some evidence [Music] I went to the local funeral home and made the arrangements for the funeral one thing I knew for sure she'd been in the woods for three months I never viewed her didn't want to [Music] for the pallbearers I had some difficulty with that because I felt that whoever killed or knew her [Music] I know I knew who killed her how do you pick pallbearers I didn't use any of her friends but he's crowd that she hung with because of that so I used cousins and they're all females you know were you who did it so somebody's still out there and I said I don't want somebody to kill her to be a ball Bearer at the funeral almost the entire high school was there Shannon was the type of person that you could tell anything to without judgment she was sweet and caring I know that we would have always been a part of each other's life a couple of friends wanted to know if they could write a letter and leave other remembrances in the casket and I I told him they could they were too Shannon they were given to Shannon so I don't know what they said [Music] the original investigators had asked the Michigan State Police behavioral analysis team to build a profile to try to find any potential killers the profiler unit in Lansing believed that Shannon was likely killed by someone within her peer group and her age group my more than one perpetrator and there was a good chance that alcohol and drugs were a factor and they said this was most likely a sexually motivated homicide and also that she was likely killed by someone that she knew it had a pretty big impact in the city of Newaygo being a small community it was especially shocking for an 18 year old girl who was well liked did not have enemies brutally murdered it was scary because when you think about something like this could happen in a small town it could be your neighbor could be the person right next door how scary is that there were so many rumors going around the schools pointing fingers at different people there are some cases where the person responsible for the murder has taken something from their victim kept it as a trophy or some type of memento I knew she had a classroom I know her initials were on it and I know there was an inscription it was never found in the house and there was never found where the body was now they had to go back and build on that timeline that they started based on the missing persons report when Shannon was found there was a forensic entomologist brought in to help try and determine a timeline as to when she was killed the entomologist looks at what type of bugs and larvae are on the body and in what cycle they're in I would say it's fairly uncommon to use an entomologist because we don't get a lot of cases where our body is dumped out in the woods and it's not found for weeks or months people are usually found a lot sooner even murder victims the entomologist was able to determine that it was somewhere you know the last couple weeks of July to the first week of August prior to that the investigators didn't know who she was with where she had been investigators were looking for the one person that was last with Shannon and it turns out there were eight people that last Saw Shannon alive I was very confident that one of the local kids in that group that night knew something about the case but they were either afraid to come forward or unwilling to come forward [Music] now we have eight suspects we have to either confirm or eliminate as being responsible oh the investigators talked to all eight of these kids in detail at police stations on recording for those willing to taking polygraphs and tried to rule them out one by one from those interviews the original investigators are able to develop a timeline backtracking where she was that night Shannon's father worked third shift in Grand Rapids so that night he left the house about 10 30. Shannon was still home after Shana's dad goes to work she ended up meeting up with some people that she knew the kids in this group they were local kids liked to hang out and they'd all kind of gone to school together it was a typical group of teenagers whose real Focus was partying I would not have called that group her good friends that group of friends ate other individuals that were all together that night in three separate cars they eventually ended up at the hole in the woods drinking smoking driving around the trails in the forest and later that night Shannon wanted to go home she had been riding around with Levi Pearson and Brandon Sievers if there was trouble his name was associated Brandon she didn't like being alone with him [Music] they just gave you the creeps Brandon Sievers was someone who didn't think highly of a lot of women people that knew him said that he would often refer to women as and and things like that there are some tips coming in saying that Brandon had left town shortly after Shannon went missing him look suspicious there are some tips coming in saying that Brandon had left town shortly after Shannon went missing made him look suspicious Brandon Sievers was brought in what we read in the interviews Shannon was riding around in the car with Brandon he said that Shannon wanted to go home when the opportunity came up for her to get into a car with someone else she did Brandon said that he didn't see Shannon after that the original investigators asked why Brandon had left town and were able to determine that he went out to Colorado just to pick up a cousin to bring him back it wasn't like he left to move out there to stay away for months he was gone a day or two the kids told investigators that Shannon got into a car with Paul and Matt Jones Paula Matt Jones were brothers that grew up south of nuego the original plan was that they were going to go back to Shannon's house and watch movies and drink beer the group ended up separating from there and Shannon was with Paul and Matt Jones at that point and Paul and Matt they claim that they dropped Shannon off at home they gave a pretty detailed description of dropping Shannon off at her house anywhere between midnight and 2 A.M they described the house the fact that there was a porch light on they saw a TV on and they even saw Shan's dog running within the house the original investigators looked extensively into a man Paul Jones story the investigators retraced the route that these kids drove to Shannon's house they saw Shannon's dog moving around inside of the house you could see the TV through one of the windows and there was a porch light let investigators to believe that what they were saying was truthful the Jones Brothers took a polygraph and passed it everybody in the group was looked at extensively those individuals didn't provide anything fruitful to the discovery of who killed Janet people wanted to think that it was a stranger that would have been the easiest but the fact that she was found in such a remote spot that was known to local people made that hard to stay with everybody thought somebody else did it it changed the way I functioned during the day things like that just didn't happen here the longer an investigation draws out without finding those responsible you're not receiving as much information and you're not getting as many leads to follow up on tips slowed way down at certain points they didn't come in at all the investigation didn't have any traction so over the years the case went cold [Music] there's not a day who goes by I don't think about her how old would her children be would she be a grandmother by now we lost a very special person in our lives [Music] it's becomes a hole in your heart she was my only child I never remarried [Music] and I'll never have grandchildren the factory made that there was a killer altar Among Us and nobody knew who it was I'd rather billboard and I got 45 or 50 people on the M37 Corridor but who killed Shannon Snyder somebody knows something I knew I had to keep it out there in the Public's eye you'd get kind of a chill when you would see them everybody needed to be careful because things hadn't been solved [Music] I started in Newaygo as Chief in 2000. part of the reason I took the job in nuego was the case I wanted the case saw Shannon's case was like a cancer in the community it was something that people knew was there just never went away we had new Administration in our district and they wanted to put a cold case task force together everyone was asked to be on the team without hesitation I accepted finding those responsible for the murder of Shannon that was the reason I became a police officer I've always felt that it was a solvable case if you got the right people in the right information I agreed with Bob If someone knows something [Music] first thing that we do is we need to learn who Shannon cider says foreign victimology interviews we're basically studying our victim to see if Shannon or Shannon's lifestyle will lead us to her killer we talked to all of Shannon's family her close friends her acquaintances just to find out who Shannon was the victimology was pretty well known that Shannon always wore her class ring on her right hand it wasn't in any of Shannon's personal belongings that were left behind at home the ring is missing this was something that was held back the police didn't advertise this if we could find the ring we can find the person that killed Shannon ciders for Pat I think it was important to if the ring was out there he wanted to find it that would be a crucial piece of evidence if it still existed the first thing that needed to be eliminated is was the ring laying out there where Shannon was murdered some years back I got into metal detecting just as a hobby I went out many times and looked in that area for Shannon's classroom lots of bullets I think I dug up every bullet within 200 yards of where her body was found you know in the back of my mind I was always hopeful that the ring would show up somewhere I never did stuff thinking about Shannon I worked at the sheriff's department during the summer when I was 15 years old and I didn't stop thinking about that phone call so I decided I'm going to solve this murder my motivation behind it was Justice for this family she basically became like a dog after a bone he became a detective and she wasn't a detective I'm talking to 10 people a day some days some were very frustrated with me because it's not like I accused everybody but I looked at everybody like they could have done it it was the Talk of the Town again there is no ignoring the fact that social media is now an everyday facet of Our Lives and people say things on a keyboard that they may not see in real life that's why I started the Facebook page I literally set the page up and being an instant message from any that's how I met her she had no concept of what we were doing and I told her if you have information give it to us unfiltered and just give it to us and don't expect anything in return Amy Bonner is a civilian she was working in her own capacity trying to generate tips trying to help solve the case people started thinking that Amy organized the Facebook page and I was more than happy to let them think that I received this Facebook message from a girl named Stephanie and she tells me a story of her family and the possibility that they were involved in Shannon's murder the Hammond family is a local family they have a bad reputation abuse and crazy stuff went on in that family Stephanie tells me that there is a house on the lake that has a creek that runs underneath of it Stephanie tells me Shannon was raped there by several people after being drugged Stephanie claims that they kept her there for a couple of days [Music] then they took her from that location by a van out into the woods and then they ran her over so I asked her to bring me there when she brought me to that house and I saw that there was in fact a creek running underneath that house my mind is running wild thinking oh my God what did Shannon go through so if that house has to be true I knew this had to be a the day that I was taken to the house I felt an emotional connection to Shannon I can feel the pain of what they put her through so I immediately called Pat hadland [Music] all appearances from the street it's just a normal house on a lake but as we pull up there's a creek under it and it's kind of like wow there is a house like that maybe something will happen to Shannon in the basement of this helps the homeowners several of the family members were convicted of serious assaults attempted murder the information was that Shannon had been raped in the basement and held for days [Music] but the house has no basement it's never had a basement and when we look at the Hammond family we talk to everyone that we could find in their life there's no evidence that they had any involvement with Shannon and her murder Amy was a pain in the butt sometimes but I can't fault somebody for for being obsessed with the case when I'm the very same person was I obsessed absolutely I was I did receive a few death threats I felt that I was getting the death threats because I was getting close to the truth but it wasn't about to stop at this point in the investigation there was still one thing that we wanted to do we knew that there had been letters placed in the casket at the funeral and police had never read those letters there's a tip that indicated that there might have even been a confession letter in Shannon's gasket it wasn't an easy decision to make because that's pretty sensitive to have to bring someone out of their final resting place so the blessing of Bob ciders we actually were wielding shovels and you know digging Shannon up there were a handful of letters the letters were letters from friends telling her how much they loved her and how they were going to miss her we didn't find a confession letter unfortunately and then Mike says I think we've discovered something she had some hair in her right hand glob Affair found in any victim's hand I would assume that they probably fought back and got it from that person [Music] so we resubmitted these items to have them tested for the presence of DNA to see if they could obtain a profile something that we could compare to a possible suspect button the hair they found belonged to Shannon [Music] there was next to no physical evidence to help us try and Link a potential suspect the exclamation was no more disappointing than chasing down all these leads that needed to be chased down and nothing coming from them it was a stone that had to be turned over it had to be done during the investigation we interviewed approximately 400 people we talked to all the people that knew Shannon that led us to Julia litich Julie Lynch was a friend of Shannon's Julia had been interviewed by the original detectives but the information that she brought was not in the original file [Music] I got off of work at 10 and then I started looking for Shannon knew that she was going to run an errand and then connect with me after 10 when I got out of work [Music] the first time I went over there it would have been about 11 30 11 45 and she wasn't home about every half hour I would go over again knocking on the door I even went in at one point ran up to a room [Music] and she wasn't there the last time that I went was quarter to 3 A.M on the 18th originally in 1989 Paul and Matt Jones Tell investigators we took her home we were going to go into Shannon's and drink beer and watch TV when we got there she said she was too tired she was gonna go to bed until we dropped her off what time of night was it that you last Saw 12-1 and a little after well as we were driving back I seen the TV on I seen jump someone was lying from the original investigation we began finding people that had had contact with Paula Matt Jones during the time of Shannon's disappearance Lindsey Bradley came up with the original investigation as a friend of Shannon's she also dated Paul Jones Lindsay came in and talked to us she said that she was in the company of Paul Jones riding around in his car with him she saw something in Paul's ashtray good [Music] she said there was a female's class ring in the ashtray in Paul's vehicle Lindsey Bradley who is friends with Shannon she also dated Paul Jones Lindsay told us about a classroom that she saw in Paul's ashtray she confronted him and said you're asking me on a date when you have another girl's class ring and then he said let's face it she's probably dead why would he say let's face it she's probably dead doesn't seem like a normal person would want to implicate themselves that said to me that maybe that was Shannon's classroom that Paul and Matt Jones killed her because of the class reign in the ashtray of Paul's car we believe they could have talked Shannon and going out to another party spot but it turns out there was no party it was just the three of them we believe there was some attempt at sexual advances in Shannon resisted and they didn't want to take no for an answer [Music] every piece of information that came in was pointing towards Paul and Matt Jones but it's definitely a circumstantial case at this point we needed to make a case through confession eyewitness testimony physical evidence somebody had to know something during this investigation I talked to hundreds of people and several people told me I should talk to Jenny Corrigan Jenny Corrigan was always a friend so I called her she came over and I said Jenny for God's sake you've been my friend all this time and you know I've been working on this case for years are you kidding me what do you know about Chan insiders she tells me she knew how Shannon was killed I was so caught off guard she's crying hysterically telling me the story about what happened and what she had seen I immediately called Pat Headland and said I have an eyewitness Jenny told us she may have seen something relevant to what happened to Shannon that night that's a very unusual statement to make about a 20-some-year-old murder where was she in 1989 she never came forward because she was worried about retaliation by the suspects Jenny told us that we needed to talk to Dean Robinson we found Dean and then Dean and Jenny were able to describe exactly what happened that night [Music] on the night that Shannon disappeared Jenny Corrigan had not been with Shannon and a group of eight kids she was riding around with Dean Robinson they came across a car that was parked Dean ended up having a conversation with a driver of this other vehicle while Jenny stayed in the car Jenny heard the person identify themselves as Jones she overheard the driver say that they were looking for a girl this definitely suggests that Shannon had gotten away from man Paul Jones at some point and now they were hunting her Dean Paul Jones part of ways eventually Paul and Matt Jones we were able to find Shannon they caught up to her they beat her bad we believe this was a sexually motivated crime and they took turns raping her and they crossed her skull [Music] it wasn't just an assault it was brutal enough where they knew that they were killing her later Dean and Jenny came back through and they see the same two brothers standing outside of the car with a girl laying unconscious or lifeless on the ground Dean got out started to run up to see if he could help and tripped and fell Dean recognized that it was Shannon signers and that's when he described Paul Jones coming over and kicking him in the face [Music] Matt Jones is coming around the back of their car with a hammer of some sort and then once Matt had found out someone else was in the car he decided to retreat [Music] after Dean's statement there's no denying that Paul and Matt Jones killed Shannon ciders foreign [Music] identify this person that did this do you have any personal preference what what should happen to the guy yeah Black America black them up for good solitude [Music] I have no doubt that the information that I gave to Pat Hedland was instrumental in how this case was solved that day Pat called me and told me that they were making a rest I screamed cried screamed you're not supposed to bury your children but you know your children are supposed to bury you but Life Goes On she would have been 45. but I'm sure she would have children she wanted to be a mom she would have been a good mother [Music] so I would have had grandchildren I missed all that all the stuff that goes with your daughter becoming a woman and getting married giving your grandchildren the ups and downs of their life hopefully they have a better life than you had but we got Justice admit Shannon finally got to Justice she deserved [Music] for someone to murder a law enforcement officer you feel like nobody's safe this murder was the oldest unsolved homicide of a police officer in the nation there was talk on the street that it was a drug related hit I was 26 years old my first homicide as a friend and a boss we have to get the murder weapon this wasn't looking for a needle in Haystack this was a needle in the ocean when an investigation runs out of leads becomes a Cold Case years pass and hope fails but for the families of the victims these cases are never cold [Music] the truth takes time [Music] it's February 1981. Patricia Clark is watching a basketball game with her husband Joe who works for the Washington County Sheriff's Department when he gets up to go to the kitchen Patricia hears what sounds like an explosion she finds Joe collapsed on the floor from what she thinks is a heart attack shocking truth would take 33 years to uncover [Music] when we arrived at the hospital and gather with the family there was still a lot of confusion of what was going on I was sitting out there and waiting and waiting I remember going in to check on him course there was a couple doctors and I pretty much could tell by the looks on their faces that it wasn't you know it wasn't good that's when they pronounced him dead they had Tim identify Joe and I was angry that they had Tim as a kid I have to see his father lying there dead I don't even know if I can describe that at that point there's nothing that can prepare you to deal with something like that I had followed the ambulance to the hospital trying to find out what happened Joe had had some heart difficulties so Pat his wife thought that perhaps he had a heart attack the doctor that examined him he came out he said this man has not had a heart attack this man's been shot [Music] I was in shock the family members of joe clark they all thought Joe had a heart attack and fell and hit his head so nobody expected that feel terrible for the family my mom she was obviously distraught not knowing anything about guns or anything she really didn't know you did not commit murder on a police officer it's happened but to have it happen in your hometown in your county at his own house yeah you feel like nobody's safe Joe Clark was well known throughout the law enforcement community so it was a big shock at that point they say that Joe had been shot he'd been ambushed in his own home you just don't believe it it changed everybody's Outlook and responsibilities first thing you want to do immediately is secure the crime scene I started on Joe's house that night Joe's wife heard a pop the kitchen she thought the light bulb was just blue she saw Joe on the floor there's a little bit of blood she thinks his head hit the counter and I looked around there's a plate glass window in his kitchen the window was gone [Music] and that's when I see the pellets there were pellets from a shotgun and I was beginning to make sense of what happened the person had gone around the back of Joe's house to where the plate glass window was the shot came from a shotgun from outside that window in an upward angle some of the pallets struck Joe and killed him on the night of the murder the officers identified more than 10 Witnesses who had seen the blue Fort pinto park in the area of the crime scene every witness stated that it was idling as they drove by the driver of the car would put his hand up in a motion similar to what I'm doing to cover his face one witness traveled a short distance away from the car and then described what he said was a shotgun blast we knew there's no way the guy could have shot and ran into the vehicle in that amount of time we believed that there's two people involved one in the vehicle and one that did the shooting the next day at the privacy I found a military combat boot print also left at the scene was a number four Buck shotgun shell so basically at the scene there wasn't a whole lot of physical evidence to collect I mean good God whoever gets this case is going to have it pretty hard I didn't know it was going to be me at that time there was no higher profile case and I can't tell you why the sheriff would assigned a rookie to it there's certainly other officers that that would have had more experience than Deputy Taylor at the time of the homicide I was 26 years old and all of a sudden my first homicide is a friend and a boss you set your personal feelings aside and concentrate on your job what I can see what I could find to catch the person who did it [Music] during Joe's Short career with the sheriff's office I knew he had a lot of passion in combating the drug use in Washington County Clark did an interview talking about the presence of Narcotics that was suspected in the area he had said and it was quoted in the newspaper something big was going to go down he said he was going to be naming names the following week and arresting people he was interviewed that Friday the article came out the day was killed because of the comments he made and because of that article when Joe was killed we just added two and two and said this got to be drug related three days after the homicide I get a call from the Dispatch Center somebody got shot at this trailer park I pull up I'm the first one there I see blood down the hallway I found the victim on the floor [Music] and I see drugs cocaine PCP he was a drug dealer another drug related murder has too big a coincidence especially in Washington County when your homicide rate could be one every eight years I looked at the victim foreign he was shot in the head just like the homicide of joe clark [Music] we get a police officer shot that just talked about narcotics three days later a drug trafficker shot two shootings have to be related we might have a war in the community [Music] they didn't know what was going to happen to Joe's funeral was not only terrifying for the community was terrifying for me and the other officers too the big question I had in my mind at the time was who's next we still had the thought of a drug-related homicide to a police officer and where are all your police officers during the funeral of a police officer because it was an ambush it was a sniper type murder in law enforcement there was probably a fear that went through that other officers were also going to be targeted so there were plain close officers in various areas outside the crowd just to make sure that nothing happened during the funeral itself and the only thing we could do was garden and Be watchful the day of uh my stepfather's funeral it just seemed like the skies had fallen and somehow made it even more profound I remember my grandpa you know Dad's dad walking up and crying the only time I ever saw that man cry the huge number of people and so many officers and Joe was buried in his uniform which would have been the way he wanted [Music] I was one of Joe's pallbearers he gets military honors at the gravesite that with a firing of the volleys Law Enforcement Officers you know how they wear the the black band over the badge when one of their people falling remember officers were in it that [Music] when the funeral was over I grew back to work again I'm looking for a blue Ford penno the first thing I did was I contacted the DMV how many 1974 blue four Pinot hatchbacks or station wagons you have I think it was some ungodly number like 4 000 blah blah blah so I got nothing the investigators at that time didn't have a whole lot to go on as far as actual physical evidence I separate the drugs from the non-drug leads and I talked to members of the drug community users dealers informants and that's when the threats came in things like you're gonna get the same thing that other cop got you tell that so-and-so knock it off or you did I felt legitimately afraid for my life so much that I moved my family and stayed in Washington County alone for the first week or so after the death threats I was sleeping in the jail cell with a shotgun in the corner and a pistol in the bed with me [Music] when you become an investigator a detective you've got to have informants they will help you succeed in almost any investigations you get involved in I had an informed come in and they said you were out at so-and-so's trailer you got shot in the face he said well I'm telling you what I know you did it it was a black guy named the Washington a white guy named Jones and in the back of my mind I'm thinking again we've got two people involved just like Joe's homicide one of them would have been a shooter one of them would have been a driver this has got to be it Mr Washington Mr Jones I think they're the same people that killed Joe an informant he gave me two names Mr Washington Mr Jones he told me they shot the drug deal in the face I think that Washington Jones was the same people responsible for a homicide of joe clark Washington Jones was in the Cuyahoga County area we got a hold of Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office and he said I'm very familiar with him and I have him in jail right now so we're on our way I said you all know why I'm here I said I want something you got information I said tell me about the shooting at the trailer park he goes it was just supposed to be a rip-off rip-off turned into shooting they also said that Mr Bonner had set it all up [Music] we've known Matt Bonner been a law enforcement Community for Crime narcotics everything if you had a master criminal he's it Joe's had contact with him he was probably the leader in a lot of our drug trafficking in the northern part of our County he controlled that whole area Joe Clark was involved in investigating him for years Matt Bonner also told several different people that he was taken down to the banks of the High River and assaulted by one member of the Sheriff's Department was carrying a grudge and he was certainly capable of killing the police officer I really thought yeah this is the guy I'm gonna have to go after I interviewed Bonner I said well you know I come here talking about Joe he said don't know anything about wish I could help you what about the drug dealer got shot I ain't got nothing to do with it well what about Mr Washington Mr Jones never heard of him buddy I've got nothing to connect him toward Joe's homicide and I've got nothing to connect to the drug dealer except for two of his cohorts you cannot charge somebody solely on the testimony of a co-conspirator co-defendant so if he don't talk I got nothing on him and he didn't [Music] Jack Taylor he relied heavily that it was drug related but those leads didn't go nowhere when you get Tunnel Vision on an investigation it makes it hard to go back I've done everything I can except for searching for the blue Ford Pinot the Pinot list there were 4 000 license plates so that's where I work with all these cars and no information and then I got a call that Jimmy kiston was bragging at a bar drunk saying that he shot that mfer's head off Jimmy keston frequented the local bars in the area and he liked to drink a lot Jimmy keston also owned a blue Ford Pinto I talked to him what was his condition when he talked about it Tanked the guy after he had about 55 beers told me I shot that what there was no cooperating I ever disappointed him whatsoever other than him running off the mouth when he got intoxicated the lead was worthless but there was nothing else to follow up on [Music] that's where I was at Jack Taylor he was under tremendous pressure for this here he is he's a rookie deputy sheriff and he's got a police officer murdered ambushed in his own home I can only imagine the stress that he would go through I had doubts and I had thoughts running in my mind I followed up every lead I could I wasn't getting anywhere I can't I can't do it I talked to my wife at the time and she told me she was tired of living like this so I quit and I went on I was young I was inexperienced I was ashamed of actually I felt like I was running it was my first homicide and I didn't solve it [Music] that's not right and that's what's haunted me it was discouraging I remember thinking I don't know if they'll ever get the person who killed Joe but you just you have to go on with your life [Music] my dad was a good guy he definitely was I remember when he first got on the police department I used to ride around with him and in the squad and we'd go sit somewhere he'd read a book and I'd read a comic book and we'd sit there and [Music] when I had my kids I remember thinking it had been nice if they'd had him as a grandpa because he would have been a great you know role model for my kids there's a lot of cold cases in Ohio there are you know tens of thousands of them across the country when you deal with the law enforcement officer who is the victim and who was shot down and just literally cold blood in his own home I think there's a special reason that you you want to help one of my objectives from day one was to find out what happened to Joe Clark on that night Sheriff Minx asked me if I'd be interested in starting up a Cold Case unit and I accepted when we took over the case again it was over 30 years old the case File was 18 000 pages and we thought the chances of finding them suspect it was one percent you know but I'm very positive I stayed positive he was a fellow officer we knew we're going to do everything in our power to get the person that killed our brother it was obvious that we had a lot of challenges we needed resources that weren't available within the Sheriff's Department specifically technology who else could we bring on board that's going to have some of the the talent that we were looking for special agent John Jenkins was assigned to the Cold Case unit we knew he was a very good investigator and he's very good with technology due to my crime scene investigator background I knew the newer advancements in forensics and what our lab is capable of the shotgun showcasing stuck out most to me that was a huge clue left by the Killer you load a shotgun shell into a shotgun you've got to apply a certain amount of force with your fingers with the new advancements that our lab had the residue left over from a fingerprint can be tested for DNA I was very hopeful that shotgun shell would give us the first potential suspect in 33 years [Music] what the team was hoping for was this shotgun shell casing that we could resubmit that to our laboratory with the new testing for touch DNA touch DNA is touching a gun touching a knife or a shell casing I would leave my fingerprint on that item with a simple swab our scientists could link me touching that certain item through my DNA we was hoping to find a DNA profile but it was no touch DNA on the shotgun shell this was a 32-33 year old homicide we needed to start from Ground Zero and build it back so many cases in fact most cases really ultimately depend on old-fashioned police work doing things that we would have done 100 years ago our top priority was going back to the crime scene and looking at the actual evidence that was collected [Music] Lieutenant Clark's house after he was murdered was occupied by several families but the interior walls were never moved so we asked BCI to bring their scan system in and by taking that scan station into the house they were able to give us a 3D image of the house itself based on the Imaging done at the house it was believed that the shooter stood behind a tree within 31 feet of the house below the window where Joe was standing murder weapon used was a 12-gauge shotgun shotgun shell was four buck that's an excellent ammo for that distance you try to put yourself in a Shooter's head the shooter was there for a period of time to lie and wait for Joe to present himself waiting for that time to arrive when Clark walked into the kitchen he was backlit by the kitchen light and shot Joe Clark with a 12 gauge four Buck round in my eyes the profile of this killer had an extreme hatred towards Mr Clark's so you got the hatred and access to a four buck you've got the military style combat boots that just wasn't a typical a drug dealer type thing they're more of a drive-by shooting you're looking at a profile of somebody that has a military background and you're not afraid to go out and conduct an ambush on somebody Joe was stalked it was a sniper type murder and we felt that there was some type of a grudge just getting to the location and staging himself that takes a lot of nerve the person who committed the murder knew what he was doing it was an excellent shot another thing that we was very curious about is that the kitchen window where Joe was standing had a hole in it and that hole in the kitchen window was approximately 11 inches tall and 18 inches wide because of the profile of this killer we wanted to test the different types of 12 gauge shotguns to find out if it was a shotgun that was issued to the military on a military shotgun the Barrel's significant smaller the reason why military Barrel shorter is so the pattern will spread out more than so the say a hunting shotgun the four Buck round contains 27 separate pellets we pull the trigger the further away they are from the target the more they're going to spread and then the longer the length of a shotgun barrel the tighter it held those pellets so we gathered various lengths of barrels we've done some shooting of Our Own shooting four Buck through a longer Barrel at 30 feet was going to create a pretty tight pattern and I'm talking a pattern was only about five by five to whereas if we were shooting four Buck through an 18 inch barrel it allowed those pellets to expand substantially to that 11 by 18 hole that was created in in the window our patterns matched [Music] we're looking for a shotgun barrel that's approximately 18 inches long that's a common length of barrel that is carried by law enforcement officers police officer killing another police officer I mean that just hard to fathom after shooting various Links at 12 gauge shotguns what we were able to determine was the shotgun we were looking for was a shotgun used by law enforcement personnel what police officers would want to kill Joe Clark the original investigators never actually looked at another police officer but we knew about an incident that happened back in 1981 with Matt Bonner Matt Bonner was looked at early on in the investigation and he was quickly eliminated as a suspect but several months before the murder of Clark Mr Bonner had been arrested for breaking and entering in route back to the Sheriff's Office Mr Bonner continued to maintain his innocence and then the deputy took him down to the bank of the Ohio River he struck him a couple times with the cyst and he took his gun and stuck it to Matt's head and threatened to blow his head off if he didn't confess Bonner filed a complaint for abuse against the deputy Lieutenant Clark was involved in launching the investigation into a deputy name Mitch ruble Clark made the determination to fire Mitch ruble and I can remember one of the deputies said that Ruble was extremely upset that night [Music] he does fit the profile in this investigation Mitch Ruble comes from a military background he served in Vietnam Mitch Ruble was a gun fanatic he was driving the sheriff's department to issue number four buck in their shotguns also through our investigation we found out that Mitch drove a blue Pinto but it was registered in his wife's name foreign back in 1981 Mitch Ruble was having an affair with Christy Mack the weekend that Joe was murdered Ruble had made plans to stay with Mac in a motel room and at this point in time mystery was still extremely upset with Clark about losing his job it was something that over time he just couldn't let go that weekend Mack was talking about how she had heard Joe Clark speak at a community function and how she thought he was a really good guy once he heard her telling the story Max stated that Ruble became so angry so agitated so violent that he decided that he needed to seek some type of Retribution Christy was telling us information about him also making threats yet you know Clark would be better six foot under and then she told us that he got into his blue Ford Pinto we contacted Mitch grubel and asked him if he'd come to the Sheriff's Office so we could interview him on the night of the murder Mitch had an alibot he told us that there was a guy named Todd Smith and that he had stayed with him that night so of course we wanted to question Todd Smith so me and John went and interviewed him and we talked to him in my unmarked patrol car he admitted that Mitch spent the night there but they said they didn't go nowhere but we didn't believe that we interviewed him for about four hours he wanted to talk or else he would have shut it down it was quite apparent that he was extremely afraid of Mitch ruble it just popped in the head you know maybe if we offered him Witness Protection only when we offered him police protection then he finally open up and say I'll tell you the story Todd was at his apartment and Mitch knocked on the door Mitch asked him do you have any shotguns here at the house and Todd had one that Mitch had given him earlier and he asked for that shotgun he gives it to ruble they get in ruble's blue Fort Pinto Mitch said to him let's go kill is a certain lieutenant he said at that point he didn't really know where they were going Smith tells us that he thought Ruble was bluffing they go by Lieutenant Clark's house Ruble gets out of the vehicle Todd sits there and waits he said he waited there so long and he was starting to get scared and started getting frightened oh Smith goes back to his house a short time later we will show it up to Smith's house at which point Ruble starts threatening him Ruble had backed him up against the wall and had a hunting knife that he held to the ribs of Smith and advice Smith that you know if he ever said anything that he knew how to kill a person by sticking this knife in between the ribs and twisting so that they wouldn't even make a sound [Music] Todd Smith provided us enough information that our belief was that Mitch Ruble was likely to shoot we're going to do everything in our power to recover the murder weapons we want that gun we have to get that gun this wasn't looking for a need of an Haystack this was looking for needle in the ocean one of our other goals in the investigation was trying to get the murder weapon Todd Smith told us that one of the troubles military buddies owned it at that time we wanted that gun we wanted a weapon a killed our officer we learned that Mr ruble's Air Force buddies were having a yearly reunion at a military museum near Columbus Ohio there was a chance that one of them may have bought a shotgun from Mitch ruble we decided that we would put surveillance on that location foreign [Music] technology of facial recognition we were able to identify all the members that were there we were able to locate their addresses we go out and talk with each of these military friends everybody denied ever purchasing a firearm off of ruble the last door we knocked on he asked if he had ever purchased a weapon off of Mitch rule thank you and the gentleman stated that he had the gun was so unique and there's so few of them out there that we believe we had the right gun it was a needle in the ocean that we found Mitch Ruble had been terminated by Lieutenant Clark so he has the motive to kill him and now we got the murder weapon so we knew it was time to execute the arrest of Mitch Ruble for the murder of Lieutenant Joe Clark we did not want a violent confrontation with him so we came up with the ruse recently Ruble and his wife were the victims of a credit card scam he filed a complaint with the Washington County Sheriff's Office so we had the investigating officer call him and asked him if he'd come to the Sheriff's Office so he could update and advise him on what was going on with the investigation and he agreed to [Music] [Music] from ruble's house to the Sheriff's Office we knew exactly where he was at we had air surveillance on him and we also ground surveillance at the same time Special Response Team is executing a search warrant at his residence we believed that he could have a cachet of weapons at his home and he possibly has some explosives [Music] Mitch Ruble comes into our office the commander of the SRT immediately places him under arrest for the murder of Lieutenant Joe Clark it caught him off guard and he just like froze Lieutenant shook ask Mr Ruble if we were going to find anything that could kill a police officer at his house and ruble's response to that question was I sure hope not in my law enforcement career I can definitively say I've never seen that kind of ammunition being stored at one location we start coming across grenade fuses the bodies for grenades and the different types of explosive powders we believe his intent was to be able to hunker down and hold off law enforcement I mean he could have stood off the sheriff's office in a standoff firefight for months there were enough Munitions found for us to call the Columbus bomb squad it was so dangerous that it had to be destroyed and the only way to destroy these items were to counter charge them we got permission from a local farmer to use a plot in his field a large hole was dug with the backhoe you could feel the ground shake when the explosion went off [Music] now that Justice is served the Washington County Sheriff's Department can finally heal from the loss of their devoted friend and leader being able to arrest me trouble for killing our brother officer is everything to me and to our team this conviction means that my mind can be at peace now for 35 years it was [Music] the closure is there for his fellow officers and the people who work so hard the satisfaction they have from it to know that they had not given up and they had stood behind their fallen brother my dad would have been 85 this year I'm sure he'd probably still be around and making jokes what a big kick he would have got out of having grandkids but there's probably a little bit of him and my kids I'm missing I think about him [Music] I saw her as a big sister and someone that protected me this was a girl just a few years younger than me suddenly the innocence is taken from the community the viciousness of her death it's just so heinous you don't want to believe it when the hell killed a little girl there were so many suspects when an investigation runs out of leads Comes A Cold Case years pass and hope fails but for the families of the victims these cases are never cold [Music] the truth takes time [Music] [Music] in Pleasanton California summer break is just a few weeks away to avoid bullies 14 year old Tina fails skips the school bus she takes her usual neighborhood shortcut home but this time she never makes it [Music] I remember every bit of that day like it was yesterday [Music] I came home from school and my sister wasn't there on a typical day she would get home before me watch over me and she'd help me with my homework there'll be times where my mom would go out at night and my sister would put me to bed she protected me she looked out for me all the time another hour passed by and she still hadn't come home I remember ride my bike out in the court I remember on undercover police car that came down the street right away I knew something was up I just felt like it was going to stop at our house [Music] I was scared I didn't know what was going on it was the next day that I found out for my parents when it happened that my sister was killed [Music] the truck drivers driving through Pleasanton on the freeway looked over to his right and saw what he felt was a person in distress or possibly harmed he starts walking down the drainage culvert he sees blood realizes there's a dead body down in the creek [Music] I was in my office when I learned of the homicide I always dreaded getting a notification call like that somebody killed a little girl nothing like that ever happened to such a young person in pleasanton's history it was a very cold crime scene there's no weapon there's no fingerprints there's no footprints [Music] officers noticed a purse suspended in a tree above the body [Music] they found a report card that had the name Tina fails on it freshman at Foothill High School Tina had a lot of trauma done to her body in the attack she was stabbed 44 times the corner determined the first 38 times she stabbed she's still alive some of her wounds were up to five inches deep another thing that was noted by the corner was that there was probably no Hilt or guard on the knife because there was no marks or indentations on the body at some point we felt that in the course of stabbing Tina the suspect's hand would slide off of the handle because there's no protective guard onto the blade and actually cut themselves it would make sense in my mind that someone of a psychopathic nature would be responsible for her death it was just so vicious and so rageful [Music] at the time of the murder I'm 20 years old I'm a member of the Pleasanton Police Department Explorer post I am asked to set up a grid search looking for the murder weapon foreign walking through a field and I'm thinking about a girl just a few years younger than me that was stabbed to death this is Pleasanton where it's safe to leave your doors unlocked it's safe to leave your windows open and suddenly the innocence is kind of taken from the community we weren't able to find the murder weapon there is very little to go on so we had to rely on talking to people who in the hell killed a little girl Hello in front of a culvert [Music] detectives go up to Foothill High School and they start interviewing students looking for leads to follow up on witnesses that may have seen Tina that day witnesses that may have information on the Killer's motive for killing her find out that Tina was being bullied at school [Music] she used to ride the bus home but several girls on the bus were picking on her they were threatening to beat her up Tina could no longer ride the bus she had to go through the culvert this Culvert was in essence a shortcut between Foothill High School and home it was like a swamp it felt spooky the tunnel itself seemed like Crossing into another dimension it was dark once you got halfway you couldn't see anything it was Pitch Black you could hear the cars and the trucks on the freeway roaring overhead you're isolated you're all alone if you were to scream for help no one would be able to hear you [Music] the day Tina was murdered the girls that taunted Tina had thrown a Rock Center I think that day one of them had said hey let's tie teen into a tree and stab her it was petrifying these girls were questioned they did share that they didn't like her for whatever reason but that particular day the girls were actually in detention so it wasn't possible for them to have been involved in killing Tina we're trying to identify witnesses that may lead us to the Killer shortly before 3 P.M two students were riding in a car Steve Carlson and Todd Smith Carlson remarked look there's Tina fails as she was headed toward the culvert [Music] Steve sees a male student named Jeff Michelson running through the drainage Culvert that goes under i-680 right around 3 o'clock or 305. the time of the murder Jeff Michelson becomes one of the first big suspects in the case at the same time while investigators at the school are speaking to students there's another group of detectives that are at Tina's house speaking with her family detectives turned to the family and family friends because they're the closest people to the victim and usually somebody close has committed the crime investigators find out that Tina's Mom Shirley has a boyfriend who has recently moved out his name is Keith Fitzwater Keith moved out of the fails residence because he was creating some family tension in the house I don't care for Keith much at all he was 15 years younger than my mom he was in his early 20s at the time he had a pretty bad temper he started drinking heavily he had been violent towards Shirley a few days prior to my sister being murdered my sister started yelling at him to leave my mom alone it made me feel like it could be Keith Keith Fitzwater the person close to the victim and Jeff Michelson a young man that had been seen in close proximity to the crime scene at the time of the homicide we have two possible suspects in Tina's murder [Music] the young girls murdered in a vicious attack we have two possible suspects Keith Fitzwater and Jeff Michelson which one of these guys is responsible for this killing when detectives look into Jeff Michelson they find out that he was known as the bully that picked on other smaller kids according to eyewitnesses on the day of Tina's murder a kid named Steve Carlson was taken by a Jeff and thrown into a dumpster and they locked him in there for about 10 minutes before a teacher came and let him out and then later Steve Carlson sees Jeff in the general vicinity of the crime scene at the time of Tina's murder one of the other things that detectives found is Jeff had several instances where he had approached girls and grabbed them or groped them but the most interesting piece was Jeff carried a hunting style knife in a sheath that he wore sometimes on his belt [Music] investigators went to interview him and they noticed that he had a cut on his index finger the reason the cut was significant was the possibility that the Killer cut himself when questioned as to how he got the cut Jeff gave two different versions of the story he said he was at work and he was walking with a pan and he slipped and when he dropped a pan he cut himself when they asked him about it again later he said that he was replacing a vent Hood when they asked him if he had advised his boss that he'd cut himself he said no I didn't think it was a big deal so I didn't tell him about it because of the conflicting statements that Jeff made officers got a search warrant and went to his house [Music] they found two hunting knives the hunting knives were sent to the crime lab they were examined for traces of blood and they were found to be clean why he told the two stories we don't know I was telling myself there was so much there but there was not enough to file a case on we had to move on because he wasn't the only suspect in our case investigators continue to look at Keith Fitzwater Tina's mom's boyfriend he had a violent temper he was physically verbally abusive the only time he was ever nice was the night when Tina died you know it was unbelievably nice that it almost seemed suspicious detectives meet with Keith Fitzwater and they asked him where he was the day of the murder he tells them that he had been at work Keith asked his boss if he could get a ride from him to Shirley's house because Tina had been stabbed to death detectives spoke with his boss the one thing that they find out is that Keith had a knife on his belt at the time which he removed and asked his boss to hold on to it he says why do you want me to keep it and Keith said I don't want to go in the house with a knife this certainly was suspicious Behavior you had to think something was going on somebody that killed a little girl is still at Large but we have the potential suspect Keith Fitzwater hearing that Keith asked his boss to keep his knife piqued our interest we retrieved the knife and sent it for analysis it came back with no trace of blood [Music] I know that I did and other family members did I always had that feeling even many years later I always felt like it could be Keith with the information we had we couldn't charge Fitzwater with Tina's murder at least not at that time [Music] three weeks after Tina's murder investigators got what looked like a very good break in the case [Music] a man by the name of Walter Neiman sexually assaulted a young woman in Felton California Walter was on a bridge and a 17 year old girl was walking home from school [Music] the fact that it was a young girl that he accosted that it was near water as it was like a duplicate of the crime [Music] she was able to flee and get away Walter neyman was arrested in Felton for attempted rape and assault what made this even more tantalizing to us was the fact that at the time of Tina's murder nyman lived in Pleasanton nyman's grandmother was contacted and she was somewhat close to him when questioned about Tina's murder she said oh yes April 5th I remember the date very specifically because that was the day that Walter showed up at my house when he showed up at his grandmother's house he seemed to be flustered and really kind of out of sort on the day of Tina's murder he told his grandmother that he wanted to get out of Pleasanton it made him very likely suspect in our case [Music] police served a search warrant at his home they were astounded at what they found [Music] two bloody knives and bloody clothing [Music] those items were tested for Tina's blood it was an adrenaline pumping moment to believe that we had succeeded in finding Tina's killer it was determined that the blood on the knives as well as the clothing was actually animal blood another disappointing outcome he still could be the killer but there wasn't enough to proceed on the investigation [Music] it's very very saddening and frustrating for an investigator had several suspects but there was no evidence that would prove who was responsible for killing Tina [Music] I didn't know why it happened to my sister I was afraid of being killed next I had a kid joke with me at one point saying he's one that killed my sister with machete I was just in shock if I would hear things in my backyard I would call the police I didn't really have anyone to fill the void after my sister passed my mom did what she could but she started breaking down mentally she was in constant dismay just wanted to know what happened my estimation she was struggling for her sanity over the loss of her daughter if she had what she thought was new information or something that needed to be looked into she would tell us Shirley was reading a newspaper article she saw a picture of Michael IDE this guy in prison up in Washington state used to live in Pleasanton he had been identified as having killed a young lady around the time of Tina's murder Shirley looked at the photo in the newspaper and went oh my gosh this guy looks really familiar she believed that she had a photograph of herself and Michael IDE from an occasion where they had met at a barbecue and she looks at it and said my gosh dead ringer foreign came into the department with a picture of Michael IDE my mom said there could be some closure coming I thought we found the Killer this thing would finally be solved [Music] lead investigators sent detectives up to Washington to interview the people that had introduced Shirley to the man she had a picture taken with they said that's not Michael I more disappointment stacked on top of disappointment we had to move on again I retired from the police force in January of 2000. when you've worked on something as long and as hard as the department did on that case it is disappointing Justice is supposed to Prevail the good guys win the bad guys are supposed to lose [Music] leads run out and the investigation shuts down the case is cold life for the fails family stands still [Music] I just felt so sorry for Shirley after that she just couldn't function anymore as the case gets older and older she slowly started deteriorating just mentally she started just eliminating friend after friend she would always have her house spotless and whenever she'd have these breakdowns she wouldn't clean the dishes for months I'm seeing her deteriorate just go crazy right in front of me I'd have to call the crisis unit around the time I was about 18 years old in order to get her put into Mental Hospitals [Music] I would be so mad when I would think of whoever killed Tina they didn't just take Tina from us he took Shirley because she had no life after that [Music] when I was pregnant with my second child Zachary I was on limited Duty I have no suspect contact as a pregnant police detective you just have more time on your hands so I wanted to look into the unsolved murders and that's when I picked up Pina Phil's murder case it was overwhelming to say the least twenty thousand Pages worth of statements and notes one of the first things that I did was I viewed the crime scene photos this scene was just horrific what she went through the last moments of her life it's unacceptable to me in working with cold cases the victims are never forgotten I've worked my whole life to prepare myself for a case such as this people who get into law enforcement don't do it for the money we do it to help people I want to provide closure to Tina and to her family I just knew that I had to find who had done this once I'm reading through the investigation what really stood out to me was there were so many Suspects that were close to Tina however what really stood out to me were the serial killings that were happening in the area at that time in the 80s there were three serial killers identified as murdering young girls in the Pleasanton area one of them has to be the person responsible bertina's death in November of 1984 Lisa Manzo is found murdered and it's determined that Michael IDE was responsible for her killing in December of 1983 Kelly poppleton was found murdered it's eventually found that Robert Rhodes is the Killer in 1989 James de veggio and his girlfriend Michelle Michaud kidnapped Vanessa Sampson off the street in Pleasanton they had fashioned a sexual torture chamber in the back of his van and they had Vanessa tied up they sexually assaulted her several times before driving her to the area of Tahoe where they eventually strangled her and left her in a snowbank Tina fit their profile young Caucasian girls in the same area what really surprised me was that James de veggio went to Foothill High School at the time of Tina's murder James would disappear for days on end with no explanation of where he had been he knew that same shortcut through the culvert this puts James in the area at the time of Tina's murder I wanted to go interview James de veggio in prison but I just couldn't have that suspect contact due to the fact I was pregnant so I had to hand some things off to other Detectives Lieutenant Davis interviews James deveggio de veggio levels and says look I'm in prison for the rest of my life I've got nothing to lose if I was involved in Tina's murder I would tell you I'm not involved he actually points the finger at Walter nyman Walter nyman was on the suspect list days after Tina's murder because of kidnapping and sexual assault but they couldn't confirm or deny that he was ever involved James devagio and Walter nyman are our friends they used to drink together at the Pastime bar you couldn't walk into the place without smelling urine it was that bad to have two people of that ilk together in one place you have to wonder what they might have done together one of them has to be the person responsible for for Tina's death what I really needed was evidence where do we have the best chance of finding something that maybe was overlooked before all you have to go on are these crime scene photographs and that's how you recreate the scene in your mind from the coroner's report I know there's no guard on the Killer's knife so the murderer's hand might have slipped down it's very possible that he cut himself leaving some kind of evidence somewhere and I have to figure out okay what what would he have touched foreign [Music] photos there is a purse hanging from the branches of a tree [Music] seeing the purse up in the tree just didn't make sense to me at all I think Tina would try and hold on to her purse and and possibly try and fight back with it using it as a weapon this was kind of an aha moment for me it just really clicked that probably the last person to touch this purse was the suspect over the years as DNA technology had Advanced Tina's sweatshirt had been submitted many times but her purse had only been looked at for fingerprints when I saw the purse wrapped in the evidence bag I see the purse is textured the purses material just wasn't conducive for fingerprinting even though I couldn't see anything on the purse I still felt that it was the best evidence that we had I handed it over through the chain of evidence to the FBI in Quantico Virginia [Music] at this point in an investigation I had interviewed as many people as I could um And in regards to the serial killers I had researched them and looked into them as much as I possibly could we have narrowed down the suspects to either Walter nyman or James devegia what I really needed was that evidence to come back and I was hoping for a for a DNA match putting either one of them at the scene [Music] one day I get a awareness cfbi the FBI agent says to me do you want to know who killed Tina fails I can't believe I'm getting this call finally obviously they have a hit the FBI found four drops of the suspect's blood on the purse the solidified the theory that had gone back for decades that the murderer's hand had slid down on the knife possibly cutting himself at this point I felt as confident as I could that the killer was James devagio or Walter nyman I say yeah well I want to know who I wasn't ready for what I discovered in my mind I'm mostly expecting the FBI to say James devagio or Walter nyman the FBI agent says it's Steve Carlson the student who is locked in the dumpster thank you later after Tina's body was found Steve was the first witness officers spoke with he told them that he saw a male student named Jeff Michelson in the general vicinity of the crime scene on that particular day he was trying to push investigators toward another suspect Steve was was 14. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that a kid could kill a kid it's just so heinous it's you don't want to believe it okay now we have the suspect let's go back take a look at the evidence and try to piece things together [Music] after going back and interviewing some of the other Witnesses regarding what they remembered about that day we know that Steve's parents left him alone in the house Steve went to the school and invited other students to come over to his house and drink and use drugs nobody wanted to go and then later some kids lock him in the dumpster and when Steve gets out he is covered in garbage and food and he is pissed off so at that point Steve returned home to his house and got into his mom's car and started driving around the neighborhood when investigators spoke to Steve he said that he was with Todd Smith but Todd later says I never said that I was with him [Music] Steve also told detectives he had seen Tina walking to the culvert Steve tells them that Tina gives him a dirty look like why are you speeding through the neighborhood we believe that Steve got upset and at that point decided to follow Tina down into that Creek oh [Music] my gut was telling me that putting that purse into the tree was a deliberate Act he was marking the scene so he could either go back later or watch police as they worked Steve's residence had a clear view of the Culvert where Tina was killed according to eyewitnesses after the body is discovered Steve Carlson is seen on the roof of his home watching as police begin their investigation [Music] in 2011 Steve Carlson was actually incarcerated on an unrelated drug charge he had been arrested over the years for numerous drug violations he had been arrested up in the Sacramento area for a sexual assault on a young girl up there Steve was nothing like the 16 year old boy that had attended Foothill High School early photos showed him with blonde hair kind of a good looking kid now he was covered with tattoos just a very hard individual homicide Pleasanton in 1984 in high school do you remember that you were in high school Tina fails got killed do you remember that yeah we're re-contacting old businesses from that case and we oh yeah Steve became violently ill two weeks after we interviewed him Steve was due to be released on his unrelated drug offense Detective Pat and I went down we met with deputies ahead of time and told them that we were going to place Steve under arrest for murder Steve to under arrest for the murderers in the sale in 1984 I was there looking for the murder weapon and I got to put the handcuffs on him that was such a special feeling once we booked Stephen at Santa Rita Jail I went over to Shirley fails residence she asked did you find him was like she knew she agonized over Tina's death for 27 years it affected her health it affected her mental well-being certainly took a big portion of her life from from her [Music] the Pleasanton police can finally put the 30-year case to rest hopefully giving the fails family a chance to move on but for Tina's mom Justice didn't come soon enough on the day prior to the trial my mom had a massive heart attack I think she just couldn't go through the trial and died of a broken heart a year after my sister's murder my mom wrote a poem and she wrote the poem to my sister and it's called I had a dream I had a dream I had a dream it was a beautiful dream it was a fantasy come true Tina came home we were all home again they laughed and cried and soon the teasing I missed began but soon Tina had to leave someday we'll all be together again I missed the family I hadn't and I wish at that time I knew how lucky I was but the dream ended long ago and her last words were by Mom [Music] and Grandpa loved each other very much hard part is one of them had to see the other one day I said I want to solve the murder of Ed and Minnie Marin we didn't have any more witnesses this case is dead I've always wanted Grandma and Grandpa to be remembered as that happy little couple taking care of each other rather than just victims upon the side when an investigation runs out of leads it becomes a Cold Case years pass and hope fails but for the families of the victims these cases are never cold [Music] the truth takes time [Music] [Music] it's nearly Christmas the people of this close-knit logging Community Watch as the 69 Chrysler of Ed and mini Marine drives through the center of town they don't know that their neighbors will soon be dead I didn't get to call until 8 30 at night I had came home from working out in the wet cold snow and ice and had dinner and was headed off to bed when my dad called and said you need to come down to Grandma and Grandpa's and I knew something was wrong right then I got in my truck left my Ranch went down and there was many things going through my mind it was spinning fast I know be around the corner and I see all the cop vehicles felt like my heart dropped out of my chest and hit the bottom as soon as I got out of my pickup I was greeted by one of the officers he said we don't know for sure but your grandma and grandpa is missing and there looks like there's been some foul play [Music] I walked in and I see paper strung around in the house they kept a bunch of bank statements in the shoe boxes and they were Strung Out Over the living room Grandma's purse was left by her chair tucked behind the couch she never left the house without a person this ain't normal my dad came over to our house and he said Grandma a couple of amazing their car was missing too we were all in shock and disbelief the morons had some financial means they sold Christmas trees from their Christmas tree field one scenario was probably that maybe they'd been kidnapped and were being held somewhere Dennis Hadler was many morons son he was a well-known entity in Lewis County because he was the owner of Dennis Hadler logging he was probably one of the largest logging companies in the Northwest at the time I remember growing up here in Lewis County and if you worked in the woods you probably worked for the Dennis Haller I thought somebody grabbed Ed in my mother and that they would hold them Ransom [Music] you know almost everybody was trying to think the best but figuring that the worst was about to come the very next day in the early morning hours an employee at the Yardbird shopping mall reports a vehicle matching the Marin's description [Music] detectives responded over to the parking lot and they found the car [Music] it is a icy morning [Music] they could not see in the window and one of the detectives instead of touching the car without having fingerprints blue warm air onto the glass once he did that he could see that the car was covered and blood which should probably be burned in his brain for the rest of his life there was a red blanket covering the seat detectives could see damage from what appear to be shotgun pellets going into the dash Mr Marin's hat that he's known to wear all the time was laying on a floorboard and still no sign of Ed and Minnie Maybe they're in the trunk there's nothing in the truck [Music] I never did go see the car the car that didn't choose not to see I chose not to go look at the car during the first few days that Grandma Grandpa were missing we got together at my mom and dad's house with search and rescue they had a huge map we were given a section to go and look for them there must have been a couple hundred people involved plus all the sheriffs and pretty intense search we gotta find them they're out there and we know that they're hurt we're searching everywhere but the logging roads are endless around here I'm actually scared to get out and look I was terrified I was out scouring the different County Roads when I got the call over the radio and said they had found their bodies a man was traveling down a Logging Road and he saw what he thought was a CPR dummy and then he realized that it wasn't a CPR dummy he had actually discovered the body of many Marin [Music] a friend of mine was the one that found them he saw Grandma laying alongside the road and then Grandpa it was in a brush close to her many had been shot in the left shoulder and the neck and then Ed had been shot almost Square on in the back we go to the scene we realize that there are drag marks saying they were a drug from their car and dumped like garbage along the side of the road when we went up to look at the crime scene it was ribboned off and my dad said well I guess that's Mom's blood because it was frozen where she um when she laid the hard part is because we're scared to death in their last few moments together and thank you and then one of them had to see the other one day the last time that I seen my grandparents was on on the Sunday before they disappeared and I stopped in to see them took my grandfather down to the store got milk and eggs and bread not realizing that that's the last time you're going to be able to touch them or hold them or talk to them or see them or anything I put my hand on her on the casket and I said mom we're gonna catch him thank you I grew up in Lewis County in 1985 when the skirt I was 10 years old Ed and Minnie were everybody's grandparents the murder changed the way a lot of people felt growing up and living here it bothers you when the moons were killed the public asked us about it constantly the question would be who who would do this to two 85 year old defenseless old people we really wanted to succeed but we had no murder weapon we had no Fingerprints of suspects at the crime scene we had no DNA evidence because there was none in that day and age there's dozens and dozens of fingerprints in the house in the vehicle an exterior of the vehicle majority of those prints came back to Ed and many and some other family members one of the biggest items is collected as evidence is that they found a bank receipt in Ed's pocket I'm presently out at Sterling Savings apparently you had a transaction with Mr Morin could you explain what occurred now Mr Morin called and asked if we had any money and I said yeah we had a nickel or a dime and he said no he would need a little more than that and I asked him how much and he said 8 500 dollars when he got there the money still wasn't ready and so rather than wait in the bank Ed went back out to the car and when the teller went out to get him Ed got out of the car before she got too close she thought that she saw someone else in the car but couldn't be sure when Ed Morin withdrew 8 500 from the bank the question became who knew that they had that money to withdraw what if it was a family member of the morons there were cigarette butts in the car Ed many did not smoke and Mike Adler did smoke they're going to bring all the people out into the caskets will play a lot behind him are you gonna get some good shots of everybody coming around recording a couple of people you want to talk to Paul Bearer Here Comes Your guy right there okay that's the bad guy [Music] some family members were looked at a little bit harder than others simply because of their history and one of those was Mike Mike had a history with law enforcement Mike had a temper a little bit too much drinking and fighting and getting involved in things that he probably shouldn't have they made me mad pissed me off and I pretty much told him to kiss my ass you want to look at someone who had access to the house since there wasn't forced entry you want to look at somebody that has knowledge of how much money they had and so they also looked at Rodney one of the grandsons whenever you have these tight murder deals it's usually always a family member or something like that they say that does it because they're all disgruntled or whatever so they come and ask you these questions I call it interrogation it made you feel like you're guilty between 84 and 86 there's a lot of major crime that's occurring in our massive Acres of forest land we got rape murder we got the Green River Killer discarding multiple bodies on the side of the county roads out in the places where there's no neighbor you got nothing but trees for approximately 2500 square miles [Music] I5 runs right through Lewis County the interstate brings transients and criminals that normally do not live here that shouldn't be here and causing problems and crimes one of them could be the killer in this investigation one of the bigger tips we had was from two ladies who were cutting through The Yardbirds parking lot just walking fast towards the trees think of anything else I thought it was really strange for him to be carrying a gun across the parking lot and it was weird that it was wrapped in something instead of in a case or just Fair this was their first description of a suspect leaving the vicinity of the car yeah dark brown wavy hair with a small growth of beard on its face he had on a stocking cap and a green army coat foreign once we released the sketch of course everybody's calling in everybody imagines that the person they see could be the person in the sketch I didn't look nothing like the composite does my hair look dark [Applause] we took pictures of anybody who met the physical description of the sketch that we had drawn I know that workers that had worked on that Christmas tree farm were suspects also the police took pictures of them too and then they made a lineup I don't know eight ten pictures or however many they had the detectives gave that photo montage of black and white and small pictures to all these Witnesses and nobody could identify a suspect the cops were running into dead ends every time they turned around [Music] Police Department how may I help you the police received a phone call that somebody had important information about the case turns out his brother Scott Coulter he was married in the family at one time yeah but I got that I killed her grandparents and I got all her savings too we decided that we would focus on Scott Coulter he had burglaries in his history he had violence in his history and he was thought that he was seen in the area where the car was found he was involved in the drug world we didn't have anything solid on them so there was no reason to think that if we interviewed him he would tell us anything [Music] the detectives devised a plan where they would pretend to be with the mob and that he was going to be initiated into the mob in order to make some money we met at the Tacoma Narrows International Airport we got him in the car and we told him that he had to tell us about something he had done which was so serious he would never dare tell anybody about us I told him down towards the Chehalis Centralia area there was a job involving two old people and our sources are telling us that he might be involved in that but you have to tell us something that tells us you're the man this could be the guy [Music] Scott Coulter is about to admit that he had specific information about the case we tried not to act surprised but we looked at each other and our eyes got wide we said okay tell us about that and Scott actually said well I just got him in the car and took him to the arbor shopping center and he went like that well of course it wasn't a handgun at all now what kind of gun did you use he said at 22 it wasn't a 22. it was a 12 gauge shotgun he had the wrong kind of gun he was wrong on where they were killed he didn't have the right answer to anything you could have read the paper and gotten more right he wanted to be the guy so badly that he would lie to us but he wasn't the guy suddenly we're back to square zero we didn't have any more witnesses no more people were coming forward this case is dead [Music] [Music] there was no relief for a long time period then you'd have nightmares I had nightmares of different people different faces you get up screaming and fighting you'd fall out of bed slinging your arms and the doctors call them night terrors but I don't think you've had one this week but last week generally there it used to be when this was going on they were every night thank you I was just trying to take it all in I was newly married I I was pregnant with my twins I went into premature labor and they died there's always going to be that little hole left in there it never goes away it was it what there was a lot of fingers pointed at me but what are you gonna do it was really hard to clear your name makes you very angry turns you into a mean person instead of a loving caring person and I'd just go out and get drunk end up in a fight cops came and got me and I have to hold them don't you think she should be out finding my grandparents killers they weren't doing Justice by my eyes they're aging me wanted to come out because I wanted to know who did it so we could go take care of it and get it over with me take care of it take care of it that's how it was raised knife for an eye tying into a pickup and drag him up and down the Logging Road and stop and throw rock salt on them and watch them sit there and paint and drag them a little more let them bleed to death I Dreamed a ways to torture and I don't know then we'll ever find peace until we find out who did it [Music] when I was hired at the Lewis County Sheriff's offices case was already cold for 20 years I'm in my mid-20s I said I want to solve the murder of Ed and Minnie Marin I went into the sergeant and the sergeant goes what are your goals for this year and I said well I want to solve this case the detective said this case has been unsolved for years and years you might want to think about some other things you know like property crimes burglaries uh you know uh and I said no I I'm I'm serious so when I opened up the case the first thing is going through this massive amount of case File I'm reading this case every single night and I'm so fascinated because this is uh I feel one of the most horrific crimes in Lewis County history we got a robbery we got a kidnapping and we have a double murder I'm living this breathing this I want the who the what the how the where the why but I'm not the first detective to investigate this case and so for me I had to think about something that I can do different [Music] yeah I ended up going through every single statement of a witness saying I saw the vehicle I mean just near Yardbirds alone you had over a dozen people who saw that vehicle Chrysler or something like that this is a small town community people knew who Adam mini were and so their vehicle was a very well-known car I created a map and I would pinpoint Witnesses on the map This Is A Highway 12. we start from the Marin residence and several hundred yards from the Marin residence as the first witness he was going east I could see the path of Ed and Minnie's vehicle from their residence all the way to the woods outside of Chehalis where they were killed prescriptions match Ed driving the car many in the front passenger seat they could only see one person in the back seat um kind of a green army type code this is December 1985 in Lewis County this suspect is in the vehicle driving all over the town this is broad daylight in a small town like this somebody must have seen something while detective Bruce kimsey was fishing for more evidence that was kept in the dark I was still considered a suspect because they felt that it had to be somebody that was close to the family some of the theories were in the beginning involve the family because Ed and many are the type of people that do not share their financial statements or financial information to anyone other than family they're kidnapped out of their house they're taken to the bank it requested eighty five hundred dollars I think someone that would be more familiar with them probably would have gotten more money than what they did Ed and many are from the depression and they had multiple bank accounts which is a very common thing for people that age they would separate their money and in this case they went to One Bank when they could have got a lot more money maybe it's not someone that's close to them maybe it's not a family member it's someone that may not know him that well Ed and Minnie had a farm with Christmas trees which would bring in labor workers to work in these trees you know part of the reason that they wanted to look at the people that worked at the Christmas tree farm is a it was right next to the house and you would have contact with Ed and Minnie and B those Christmas tree Farmers tend to be somewhat more transient in nature back in 1985 the police officers at the time took photographs of anybody working in the area every witness was shown photo montages of these people the photo montage is about the size of a baseball card and a person would have to look at this and identify who they saw the copies that we had were just not good they were like copies of a copy of a copy you couldn't tell who it was I went back and found the original photographs which were in color and I scanned them and I'm using software cleaning up the original to make 8x10 pictures they look better you can see more of a description on a person's face make out their eye color their hair color instead of a black and white you know that's an area where technology really helped because it was like we had a whole new investigative tool do you remember back in 86 giving two statements to detectives yes I do I need to Define every witness in this entire investigation and then talk to him one more time I showed you six separate photographs and you immediately picked out one of them that was the guy that was in front of Edmund did he get a good look at his face look at his face you know it was amazing that as we sat and talked with the witnesses they knew that they had seen someone but it wasn't until that they saw the clearer photographs that they were able to pick out who it was in the back seat it's all starting to add up but I still need more information I think there's a witness out there that knows what happened [Music] I'm going down to Oregon to go deer hunting now I'm driving around in my pickup and I have this guy holler at me hey Hadler I was like God who knows me in this town now and so I turned around to look and it's an old buddy from high school Jake Shriver so I walk across the street and we start bsing I saw Mike periodically you know and I would ask him hey what's going on with their grandparents case you know after the murders I always have to pass the Marin's house my heart would just sink and I and I just put my head down to shame I said Mike I'm sorry please forgive me he should I can't do this anymore I said you can't do what he goes I gotta tell you something and he said you don't understand the hell that I've lived with this on my mind for the last 20 some years I just had to tell the truth I was very responsible for causing them so much pain for so long I still feel horrible back then I mean I was scared and I was a 17 year old kid I never told anyone but uh I know what happened my mother is driving Highway 12 West the car pulled out in front of us it was an older car and they were going slowly so I said to my mother I said pass them so we passed them and it was the Marines it was foggy out but I could see who was in the back seat they were heading west Mound on Highway 12. Mr Marin was driving and in the passenger front seat was Mrs Marin in the back seat there's two people I knew him when I was young because they worked for the Marines on the Christmas tree farm it was Rick Rife and a drag Rife and I told him a few days later Greg Rife walks over he said did you tell anybody and I said no I said I did not say anything to anybody I said I swear to God and I had not said anything and he said well if you say anything the same thing that happened to them will happen to you kill your mother or kill your brothers we'll kill your father and then we'll kill you the rife brother started driving by our house almost daily they kill these sweet innocent elderly people they're not gonna stop after that they're gonna kill my whole damn family I mean I started carrying a gun since I was 17 years old because of the rife Brothers if I'd left the house and I didn't have a gun I was five miles away I'd turn around go back and get one but I am always packing still to this day you know I don't have a gun now but I have one in the drawer behind me so [Music] I knew they did it it's all starting to add up and then Jake Schreiber comes to the office and he gives a statement Jake schreiber's statement is huge because in addition to seeing Rick and Greg Rife in the Marin vehicle Jake ended up being threatened by the suspects and what they said was we'll kill you kill your mother just like Ed and Minnie Marin and that is like one of the first admission statements that I ever heard them say just blew that case wide open this is my theory of what happened [Music] Rick Rife and his brother Greg they were known drug addicts and criminals in the area the rifles knew who Ed and many were because of Dennis Hadler and paddle their logging and so they knew there would be money that night the Wright brothers knocked on the door when they get into the house they discovered bank statements but there's no money in the morning they're kidnapped out of their house they're taken to the bank they get the money and they take them up this Logan Road they were killed inside their own vehicle many was shot in her back and the pellets went through her body and came out portion of her upper shoulder and face Edward shot dead center in the back bodies were dragged out into the woods and dumped then they turn around and come back to yard Bridge parking lot short time later they leave and they move up to Alaska but in my eyes there's only one place them two brothers deserve to be and they both need to be in the ground these sound are still sitting there living and they took something out of my life that I'll never get back that none of my family will ever get back I found out through the investigation that the rife brothers were up in Alaska and so I went through Alaska some things just need to be done and I ain't never going to be at rest or at peace until they're all dead [Music] thank you I had found out the area of the rife brothers were in I was going to take care of the situation I was going to take them kill them feed him to the crabs leave it at that and walk away after all these Witnesses identifying either Rick or Greg reiff I finally had enough information to go to the prosecutor and request a warrant to arrest them for the murders I've had in many the thought never leave your mind about who killed your grandparents I would spend my nights going through bars trying to find out where they live most people either hadn't heard of them or didn't want to admit that they heard of them and by right show that they needed to be scared of them so they wouldn't give about pulling the trigger on me or you or anybody we have the warrants we're good to go so we start booking the flights to go up to Alaska this is when I discovered that John Gregory Rife had died when that news came out it was kind of a blow I was just thinking what are the chances could we get a little bit of luck here [Music] you know we spend all these years working up to this and the day we get the warrant he's dead but I knew that Rick Rife was still alive so we knew we had to get on this now and so we fly up to a King Salmon Alaska where Rick Rife was living I got a phone call from my dad and he says I know what you're doing up there and this ain't the way to handle it and you need to get your ass back down here and be with your family you know damn good and well that Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't want you handling it this way when Mike was in Alaska I think Mike would have done him in that would be an awful burden to have all the rest of Mike's life I really don't know what made me turn the cheek and go the other way Greg died and that really pissed me off that he didn't have to come down and face the music but somebody was trying to send me a message to get out of there and that's what I did [Music] we're walking down the gravel driveway of Rick Rife it was pretty surreal this is 10 years of my life hunting down the killer not knowing how this is going to go I'm scared that he's going to grab a gun something bad's gonna happen if I walk up to the door I see beer cans and a hatchet the Alaska state investigator knocks two or three times the door creaks open I'm thinking oh boy this is not going to go good and you can hear a male's voice say who the is it he stands up and he looks a lot different from what I expected he has tubes going into his nose he's on an oxygen machine we tell him we have a warrant for two counts of murder robbery kidnapping and he is so matter of fact at this point the state investigator advises him he's under arrest and the only thing he says well looks like I'm gonna need my medications I said do you ever think all these years that detectives would knock on your door and he said well yeah when that sentencing inverted came down on Rick Rife I've never sensed any feeling like that in my career I was just really proud of our community proud of our system gimsy and the Lewis County detectives finally deliver justice as Rick Rife is imprisoned for the murder of Ed and Minnie after 20 years the marine family finally has the truth and hopefully some comfort [Music] hello young lady hey there hello Denise how you been I don't know I told you on the phone better when you got here oh my gosh Grandma and Grandpa are alive in my heart and in my Fondest Memories but without them here the family hasn't been together again so it was time to get together and maybe have a hatler cousin reunion is that Michael oh God I haven't seen him for a long time I haven't either oh my kid I guess what people don't really realize is my grandparents were only the first victim then you got the family you know me let's have a drink let's go laughs if I could go back and speak to my grandmother I would tell her I have five grandkids and I'm living the life I've always dreamed of I think she'd be proud of me [Music] [Music]
