I was working homicide at the Los Angeles Police Department.
There was a homeless man walking down the alley looking through the garbage cans, big dumpsters.
Dug through the trash and there was a big, green trash bag in there, and saw that there was a body in there.
He was identified quickly by the coroner's office as being David Kasdan.
My partner and I went over to the house. The first thing that we went into his bedroom, we saw that the bed was turned down. And then when we went into the living room area, you look in the carpet, and the carpet was just perfect.
There was a car parked in front of the house and they got very nervous about it. And I think the car slowly drove off when they looked out there.
She's the one that brought up right away about Sante Kimes.
She went down to a bank, Mrs. Kimes did, and she's the one that tricked the bank into taking a loan out of Mr. Kasdan. I don't know how she did it. I don't know how the bank allowed her to do it.
Yeah, he gets this thing in the mail with 360 payments, and you owe this much money every month, and he was just flabbergasted.
She was constantly thinking, how am I going to get the next dollar back?
So my partner and I went to the house that night and just missed them by hours.
Every place we went, we would miss him just by days sometimes, a day, sometimes just hours. They were constantly moving.
Stan became basically our eyes and ears because he said Sante would call him once in a while. So we told him, hey, next time she calls you, let us know.
He says that the Kimeses are... in New York, and they are getting an apartment, and they wanted me to manage it.
And to bring a gun with me when I come out there to New York.
We contact NYPD, and so we told them that Stan was on an airplane coming out there, and could they follow him, and we needed the Kynzes, if they found them, to arrest them.
We liked the deal. The D.A. liked it. So we made a deal with Kenny.
He recognized Kenny, and so he let Kenny in. So Kenny walked in, and I think Mr. Kasdan offered him some coffee or something. And when Mr. Kasdan turned around in the kitchen, that's when Kenny took the gun and shot him in the back of the head.
They spiked his drink. They had already filled the bathtub because they knew they were going to drown him. And when he passed out from drinking, And Kenny takes him into the tub. But he says, as soon as I put his head underwater and held him, he said the fight was on. He said that guy was stronger than what I thought. It was a bigger battle than I thought. But eventually he was able to drown him.
