Ashley Schwamm

I was sitting in my office and one of our staff members comes to say to me that there's a doctor in the front office that wants to talk to you about the homicide that you're working on.

He speaks about being at a party with James present.

Maybe something you don't think too much of, right?

Because...

Maybe not at the time.

But now it was raising the detective's eyebrows.

He knew Ashley's neck had been broken.

But this is something that no one else knew, right?

You had not released this detail.

It turned out James had been asking a lot of questions in the weeks leading up to Ashley's murder.

Yeah.

This story is about to take a major turn.

What we uncovered afterwards made it sick.

The evidence now suggested to detectives that James planned Ashley's murder.

Take those gas cans that caused the SUV to erupt in flames.

The day before the crash, James texted this to Ashley.

There are two gas cans in garage and workbench.

Please, please can you fill them up?

I forgot to bring down here.

In his police interview, he implied that Ashley did just that and had forgotten to take the cans out of her car.
