While it doesn't prove anything just yet, it certainly told them that they were very likely on the right track.
At that point, Ray and his partner decided to end the interview, careful not to tip their hand that they were on to him, a move that perfectly demonstrated Ray's deft touch.
And the priority was to find Savannah. And Ray hoped traces on Lee's cell phone might reveal her location.
The minor charges gave them reason to return to the restaurant and make an arrest. But it was also the perfect ruse to potentially extract more information about his involvement in Savannah's disappearance.
Little did he know that Mr. Nice Guy and his partner were veteran interrogators and experts at rooting out the truth.
72 hours after 23-year-old Savannah Gold was reported missing, Ray and Michelle were facing off against the man they believed knew where she was, and more ominously, what he might have done to her.
And as you will hear, it also creates that all-important human connection between suspect and investigator, one that can pay surprising dividends, like when Rodarte admitted he lied in his initial interview about the last time he saw Savannah.
The timeline and the details of his arrival matched the video evidence investigators had already collected, which was a good start.
Rodarte claims Savannah got out of the car and walked alone towards the parking lot exit. Details contradicted by the video. But as the old saying goes, never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.
The fact was the video proved Savannah had never left the backseat of his car. But Ray and Michelle were content to let Rodarte dig himself a deeper and deeper hole. And many of you out there will know that Ray and I think very similarly when it comes to certain statements by what he told Scott next.
When Ray and Michelle finally confronted Rodarte with the existence of the video footage that contradicted his story, he continued to insist that she had left his car. But in the video recording of that interview, you can really almost see in his body language that his grip on his weak alibi was starting to slip.
And you can hear the emotion rising in their voices, especially that of Ray's partner, Michelle. It was likely that they saw a chink in their suspect's armor and they knew that this was the time to try their best to get him to take off his armor and finally come clean.
After several hours of questioning, Ray and Michelle sensed it was now or never to, within the bounds of the law, press for a confession.
Their suspect was nearing the point of no return. Would he double down on the lie, or would he confess and finally tell the truth?
It was an unbelievably tragic, but not wholly unexpected, turn in what was until that point a missing persons case. Savannah Gold had been murdered.
But most critically, there was what he didn't do. He didn't call 911. He didn't drive her to a hospital. He didn't do anything to try and save her life, which means this was no accident. This was a deliberate and intentional act of homicide. And then evidence by the way he so calmly got out of his car and slashed her tires, proof that it was also a crime that he was determined to get away with.
Rodarte described how he drove Savannah's body to his house and then dragged her into his backyard, where he attempted to burn her body in a makeshift fire pit.
The details of Savannah's fate are almost too hard to imagine. But as horrible as they are, for the detectives, there also must have been a sense of solace. Finally, they at least had the answers now that they'd been looking for.
Members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office were immediately dispatched to the location.
When detectives executed a search warrant over Daugherty's house, they found more items that verified the details of his confession, including gasoline, the fire pit, and pillows that matched the blanket used to wrap Savannah's body.
