I will shoot you in the head if you get close.

And in that envelope was Sonia's recreational ID card, proof that whoever this was had something to do with her murder.

But right away, this whole situation felt very off to investigators.

They extensively searched the area by foot and by helicopter, and nothing was found.

And then a few days later, investigators even conducted a reenactment of how Owens described the events, and they discovered that...

didn't make much sense.

First off, there were many places where Owens could have taken cover instead of running off into the tundra.

Also, the person recreated his supposed actions at the scene had a lot of dirt and scuff marks on his pants while...

Owen's uniform hadn't.

It was pretty clean.

They also realized that the cruiser would have had to back into the spot it was found in, which didn't make sense for someone to do if they were on the run with a stolen police car, right?

So pretty soon investigators began to believe that this was most likely staged to get him out of the polygraph in Anchorage and redirect the ABI from looking into known police officers.

But that didn't work.

and the ABI were more determined than ever to speak with Officer Pescoia and Officer Owens.

Now, this is no surprise, but Owens canceled his trip to Anchorage the next day, stating that he was too traumatized from the shooting and he needed to speak to a therapist.

But Stan Pasquoia still made the trip out there and gave investigators his account of what happened the night that Sonia disappeared.

He said that he and Owens had responded to a domestic violence call and that the perpetrator tried to attack them.

So they apprehended him, brought him to the local jail.

Then Pasquaya stayed at the department to fill out a report while Owens went back on patrol.

Pasquaya said that he was at the department from about 1.30 to 2 a.m., which the ABI was able to verify.
