Joel's erratic behavior was also attracting attention. He was sweating profusely through his scrubs, and he was growing impatient with the police, insisting that his wife had to be transported to the hospital before the sun came up and before the neighbors began wondering what had happened next door.
As the homeowner, Joel had the legal authority to grant police or not his consent to recover any evidence from inside the house. But to Luis's surprise, he denied that consent.
It sounds suspicious, right? But as a prosecutor, I always have to think about it from the other side, too. Some people are just not fans of law enforcement. And there's always the possibility that he's just scared or traumatized. And his refusal to cooperate with police is not an indication that there's anything sinister going on at all.
Joel soon realized that his attempt not to make a scene actually did exactly that. They made a crime scene.
But that's not to say that there weren't things that seemed out of place, starting with Maria's body itself. If Maria had passed away in bed, as Joel had claimed, why was her body on the floor at the loft at the top of the stairs?
And if Joel had showered as he claimed to have, why was he back in his work scrubs when police first arrived?
And if investigators were able to uncover evidence that Maria's suspicious death was the result of foul play, the revelation of infidelity or a possible love triangle could be the first hint of a potential motive.
According to her husband, Joel, Maria's death was likely the result of an intentional overdose on a powerful prescription medication. But evidence found at the couple's home was starting to raise suspicions about his story.
In the moments before the interview started, cameras recorded Joel alone in the interview room. And I have to say, he demonstrates some bizarre behavior, even when you consider the fact that just hours before he had lost his wife, he was pacing, crying, even slamming furniture. And in a way, something you can't put into words, but when you watch it, just something seems off.
The co-worker's name was Janet, and it was her house where Joel had been staying. But according to Joel, he and Maria had made plans to have what he called a final heart-to-heart about the state of their marriage. And that explained why on that night, he had driven to Maria's house, not Janet's, after getting off of work.
When asked about the syringes and IV equipment found in the home, Joel initially said they were work-related, but couldn't explain why they were located outside of his medical bag or why he would have brought his medical bag into the house to begin with.
As an anesthetist, Joel administered IVs for a living, and police found both the equipment and the drugs of his trade in the house. A very dark picture of a potential crime was starting to emerge.
However, pending an autopsy and a full toxicology report, investigators still did not know the cause or manner of Maria's death. So even if they did suspect foul play, and clearly they did, there was still no evidence that a homicide had even taken place. And for that reason, Joel was released.
I am a firm believer that you can often learn more from someone's reaction to news than you can from their actual words. And according to Luis, news of Maria's death did not seem to take Janet by surprise.
Janet admitted that Joel frequently stayed at her house, but denied seeing him before or after Maria's estimated time of death.
And this is where the lawyer has to chime in and say that retaining a lawyer is anyone's right. And it is by no means an indication of guilt. But of course, from an investigator's point of view, any perceived obstacle in an investigation does tend to fuel suspicions.
Footage from just three days before Maria's death showed Maria arriving at Janet's home, banging on the door and demanding that Joel come outside.
I mean, look, it's clear that it was contentious. Maria is not happy. And in Joel's eyes, she's giving him a hard time, whether it's because he doesn't want to lose her, doesn't want to lose Janet, or just doesn't want the headache of a divorce. I mean, who knows where that lies? But one thing does seem clear, and that is that he was angry.
But still, investigators did not have the evidence to prove that Joel or Janet were involved in Maria's death.
And according to those people who knew Maria, including her sister and close friends that she emailed with regularly, Maria had never contemplated taking her own life. And while she was upset over her husband's infidelity, she was also resolved to move on with her life.
