The day of the murders was his birthday.

This is everything right here.

And on top of that, and this would be verifiable, that at his job at the IRS, he had a very important day at a big meeting with the bosses because he was about to execute this undercover operation.

And if everything went well, he was up for some big promotion.

He had a presentation that day.

He had a big presentation at 930.

So he left early that morning, he says.

And he said he often went, he never made breakfast for himself before he went to work.

So he would often go pick up breakfast.

He happened to go through McDonald's.

And he just wanted to pull off and eat and just be ready to go so he could get to his office in time to set up the conference room.

He said he was fully focused on his day at work.

And I just thought it's his birthday.

He's got a big day at work.

And the following day he was taking Valerie, he said, his friends were all throwing him a big birthday party.

I didn't know any of that.

So this is a problem.

You're telling me you're going to plan to kill your wife on your birthday and the day you have a huge presentation.

That's a...

For a big promotion at work.
