Shelby said he had been gone for more than two hours, and when he got home, he was upset.
Shelby said she went to sleep around 9.30 and was awakened by her father around 2.45 a.m.,
Detectives went back to Tarr and told him Shelby's story did not match his. Tarr then changed his story and said he had gone to his friend's house twice, but still insisted he was home by 8. As Tarr sat at the police station, detectives searched his house and found his phone and a Glock pistol. Shelby had told them her father had a different gun, but they didn't find it.
Shelby told investigators she had seen it the day before Thanksgiving in her father's sock drawer.
Bobby Tarr sat at the police station overnight while authorities continued to investigate. They had already learned that his car had been captured by license plate reader cameras just after midnight the night of the shooting. The cameras were near a gas station, and investigators discovered that Tarr had bought gas there just after midnight.
Back at the police station, they confronted him with a gas station receipt.
The gas station was near Tarr's home, an hour from the crime scene. Andrew Affronti is the Montgomery County state's attorney. He has dystonia, a condition that causes muscle tics and tremors. So why is it significant? So he went out and got some gas.
Investigators believed it was proof Tar was lying about his whereabouts that night. They placed him under arrest. A frontie says they arrested Tar immediately because they feared Chris's life was in danger and they hadn't found the murder weapon.
Just one day after Leslie Reeves was killed and Chris Smith was left fighting for his life, investigators believe they had the man responsible in custody. I'm Erin Moriarty. Bobby Tarr. But in his only media interview, Bobby Tarr tells 48 Hours they got the wrong guy.
Bobby Tarr, charged with the murder of Leslie Reeves and the attempted murder of Chris Smith, is nothing if not unflappable. Did you kill Leslie Reeves?
Did you shoot Chris Smith?
He kept his cool even when confronted with a litany of lies, he told investigators. You told the police you only left the house once. That wasn't true.
You told the police you had no idea where Farmersville is. That was a lie. You lied about getting gas in your car that night. When he spoke with us, Tar admitted he was at Chris Smith's house the night before Thanksgiving, placing himself at the scene of the crime. He says the night began when he met Leslie at her part-time job at this loft store.
Tarr says that when he declined the invitation, Leslie asked if he would follow her to Farmersville because her van was unreliable. And so he did. That makes no sense to Leslie's friend, Amy Steinhauer. She was terrified of him. and rightfully so. Just a few weeks earlier, Amy says Leslie told her that Tar had shown up while she was on a first date with a different guy.
After that incident, Leslie told Amy she was frightened by Tar and texted Amy, I could be killed by him someday if I don't cut all contact. So you're telling me now that this woman who was scared of you, who had actually texted a friend that she thought you might kill her, asked you to follow her to another man's house? Does that make any sense?
Why did she think you might kill her?
Tar says Leslie lied to her friends about their relationship. He insists she asked him to follow her north to Farmersville.
If he had an innocent explanation for why he was in Farmersville, why did he lie to detectives?
Tarr claims that after he lied to his daughter Shelby about seeing Leslie, he stuck to that lie at the police station because he was afraid they would tell her. And he never corrected those lies, even when detectives arrested him. Why not just say, look, between you and me, I lied to my daughter, so let me tell you the truth, but let's just not share that with her. Why wouldn't you do that?
He's quick to point out the lack of physical evidence connecting him to the bloody crime scene. Investigators searched his white Jetta, but did not find any shards of glass or blood stains.
