Now, no one could say for sure whether the dogs were in the room when Jack was murdered, but still, that was curious. Clue number two. All three of Jack's daughters, Jacqueline, Laura, and Joanna, reported business problems between their dad and their brothers, particularly Michael, in light of the grape investigation. But you already know all that.

All three of Jack's daughters, Jacqueline, Laura, and Joanna, reported business problems between their dad and their brothers, particularly Michael, in light of the grape investigation. But you already know all that.
And it seems the police were most interested in clue number three, the fact that Jack usually kept a .22 caliber pistol under the seat cushions of his couch. And that gun now appeared to be missing. According to Jacqueline and Joanna, all of the family members knew about it. Their dad kept the pistol in a black pouch, sometimes alongside as much as $12,000 in cash.

And to the detectives, the missing gun seemed like more than a coincidence. But where was it? They didn't have to wonder for too long. Two weeks into their investigation, the detectives caught a break through a most unexpected source, a pastor at a local Baptist church.

He told the police that a member of his congregation had come to him with some disturbing information about a drinking buddy named Al, who had recently found a gun that may have been used in Jack's murder. The pastor refused to reveal the identity of the tipster, but it wasn't difficult to identify the owl in this story.

The detectives remembered interviewing one of the Licciardi's neighbors, a 32-year-old named Albert Falmasilli, on the day Jack was found dead. At that time, Albert had said that he had no knowledge that a homicide had occurred next door. So now Sergeant Capron raced back to Albert's house to interview him again, but Albert wasn't home. Capron went back again the following day.

Albert still wasn't home. So Stockton police set up a 24-hour surveillance to catch him when he finally returned. Little did they know that he was hiding and freaking out. Because what I'm about to tell you is an incredibly weird series of events. And to help me tell this story, I consulted two of Albert's friends at the time, Jeff Kroenke and Brad Rosario.

They were all in their early 30s in 1991. And on the evening of Jack's murder, Kroenke was hanging out with Albert at a friend's house after they'd spent the day helping her move.

And after they'd partied enough, Kroenke drove Albert home around 10.30 p.m.

Kroenke watched him stumble down the driveway to the garage, which served as a hybrid bedroom and music area where Albert and his friends would jam. Robert Licciardi even joined on occasion. Anyway, the next morning, Kroenke was woken up by a frantic call from Albert.
