They would call in April around the anniversary of her murder.

They would call around Heidi's birthday.

And I know that it was absolutely traumatic for them.

Initially, it was only Nicholas Ferkus' narrative that was out there.

Friends rallied around him.

They supported him.

They all stuck with him.

The family, the church community.

Every single piece of the story that he told us then has been consistent and remains consistent with the evidence.

Still, there were details that stuck with investigators.

One of them was the sketch release that was based on Nick's description of the intruder.

It's clear that Michael Pye didn't kill Heidi because he was in prison at the time of the murder.

What has police thinking is, where did Nick come up with that thought for the composite?

In the winter months of 2009 into 2010, that man's face was all over the news as a known burglar in the area.

It appears like that sketch could have been made deliberately to throw people off.

It kind of seemed like Nick was trying to set someone else up.

To try to frame another human being, that was disgusting.

And that isn't the sign of an innocent man's actions.

I was the lead investigator on over 85-some homicide cases, and I still have moms and family members that call me, and they still say, what's going on with this case?

And Nick never called one time.
