He said several things stood out. Things like the background things we knew about him, his peeping Tom activities, his panty sniffing. We knew Tina had known a few of those things. The fact that she just up and vanishes within whatever period of time after she meets with John and there's absolutely no trace.
That was the most compelling fact to me. From everything we knew about Tina, her family and the investigation, she's got nothing, she's not going to do that. No one else has a motive. John has a strong motive based on his personality, his conduct and the time he had available. Then they said there was his behavior. He jumped out of a window when the cops arrived to talk to him about it. And then he...
ettei heitÀ jÀttÀnyt kuvauksia ja yrittÀnyt saada todellisuuden nÀkökulmasta. TÀmÀ ei ole normaalia henkilöÀ tekemistÀ. Voivatko he saada huoltovarmuutta? He sanoivat, ettÀ saada yhden tiedon olisi vaikeaa, koska siitÀ ei ole fyysistÀ nÀkökulmaa.
Nobody, no crime. That's been the whole thing. Nobody, no crime, they said. That's why they haven't done anything. When reading an affidavit for an arrest on murder, judges are used to seeing a murder weapon, a crime scene, some physical evidence that links the defendant to the death of the victim. Showing the victim's body, being able to explain to a judge how she died, how do we know it's a homicide, I thought getting that warrant would be more difficult than the preliminary hearing.
He said at the preliminary hearing we can argue the law to the judge and say here are all the other cases across the country where juries have convicted on no body cases. We can't do that on an arrest warrant. We have to give the judge all the facts and we've got to hope the judge sees the big picture. So they write up the warrant and cross their fingers. They're in contact with Vegas police where John's been living. They get the warrant. Really?
They get it. The judge gives it to them. So they go down on June 18, 2009 to arrest him in Las Vegas. Okay. John Sandoval left his house in the heart of Vegas in the early morning hours. Cameras from a local news station were rolling.
The cops did everything. That way, yeah, they could do that. They said, John, do you remember us? And he said, no. And he said, I'm Brad Goldschmidt. This is Keith Olson. We're from the Greeley Police Department. You're under arrest for first degree murder of your wife there. So, different demeanor this time. John now sits stoically in an interview room. Seems at ease. Eats a turkey sandwich and some sun chips from the subway. Really?
Oh yeah, and assures him, you know, he talked freely with them about his sexual escapades through Vegas after they assured him they wouldn't use that against him. He told police that it seemed odd that he knew he was being held for a 14-year-old murderer in his hometown, for which he always knew he was the main suspect, yet he didn't ask one question about it.
He said he told several stories through the years about checking in on the investigation every once in a while or even running into Tina in Colorado.
But they said that convinced them even more he was guilty. They said, if you're the number one suspect in a murder and 14 years later we show up at your house, don't you immediately say, I ran into her last year at a bar covered with tattoos? He says, none of that. If we arrest you for first degree murder, you're going to sing. You're seeing it all wrong. Give me a second to explain. Hey, hold on a minute. I think you guys are fucking up here.
Any normal person wouldn't sit and eat a turkey sandwich and talk about doing drugs and videotaping women in Vegas without asking about the murder. This is crazy, the shit he did in Vegas, by the way. They found in his house, first of all, he's got giant portraits of Tina on his wall. What? In his bedroom, two different giant portraits of Tina in a slinky black dress he's got up at his house. Really? Which is just weird. That's bizarre, yeah.
He kÀyvÀt hÀnen huoneeseensa ja löytÀvÀt, ettÀ tÀmÀ on yksi tutkimuksista. SiinÀ tuli Àidinkulku.
He said he'd take two photos of Tina and about a hundred videotapes. John also kept his wedding album from his marriage with Tina. He said, I found his ID card from Ames. That was 20 years ago. I found a check stub from one of his best friends. I took his house. He loaded up a rental car and drove back to Colorado with all this crap. Anyway, John calls his mother in jail.
And says, I'm their baby now. Says, I might as well take advantage of the free health care. Dental too. The showers are hot and the jail is clean. I want for nothing. They're not going to give you braces, man. No. They're just going to get some orthodonture done and maybe some veneers. I'm not sure. Police say they listen to every word John says in jail, by the way. Conversations between him and his mother, where they're trying to set up an alibi. Yeah.
HÀn sanoi, ettÀ joo, John sanoi, ettÀ se on se suorapipa, jota olin työskentelemÀssÀ. Sanoi, ettÀ on se suorapipa, jota olin työskentelemÀssÀ. Sanoi, ettÀ on se suorapipa, jota olin työskentelemÀssÀ. Sanoi, ettÀ on se suorapipa, jota olin työskentelemÀssÀ.
Mielenkiintoista. TÀnÀ pÀivÀnÀ, ennen Tinaa menemistÀ, joku sanoi, ettÀ John kutsui hÀneltÀ haluamassa jonkinlaisia tranquilizerit. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ minulla on ystÀvÀ, joka on pysynyt rauhassa ja hÀn ei voi mennÀ syössÀÀn.
Minun tÀytyy rauhoittaa hÀnet. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ en ollut saanut mitÀÀn sopimuksia hÀnen kanssaan noin kolmen kuukauden aikana. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ tÀÀllÀ oli paljon rauhoita. John olisi voinut kÀyttÀÀ rauhoittajia, jotta hÀn voisi rauhoittaa Tinaa. Ja sitten hÀntÀ voidaan rauhoittaa. Johnin isÀ Jesse oli tÀÀllÀ hÀnen kuulostaan, kun puhelin tuli.
Tranquilizersista. Ne sanoivat, mikÀ on mielenkiintoista, ettÀ joku voi vÀlttÀmÀttÀ huomata Johnin puheenvuoron 18. asti, kun olit nÀhnyt Jessyn reaktion, kun suosittelin, ettÀ puheenvuoron tapahtuisi, ja hÀn ilmestyi puheenvuoron kaikkien erityisten puheenvuorojen, joita en tehtÀnyt hÀnelle.
Toinen ystÀvÀ puhui siitÀ, kuinka haastavaa se oli mennÀ sinne. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ se oli haastavaa. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ hÀnellÀ ei ole haastavaa. Sitten he löysivÀt Tina's ystÀvÀn ja ystÀvÀnsÀ nimeltÀÀn Madonna Ewing.
Which is the most 80s name of all time. So Patrick Ewing married Madonna. Or J.R. Ewing, one of the two. If she'd gotten him instead of Rodman. Totally. And this Madonna told the detective of tensions in Tina's marriage and her impressions of John's increasingly domestically violent behavior, such as once slamming Tina's head against a wall and choking her during an argument. That's the type of shit they need.
