And since Florence saw Sonia enter the police SUV around 1.30 a.m., that meant it couldn't have been him, which of course leaves Matt Owens as their only suspect.

And of course, investigators start digging into his past a little bit more and...

they did learn some more about him.

Turns out that Officer Owens had done some pretty awful things during his three years on the force.

Apparently, it was pretty well known that during his shifts, he would have his friends drive around with him in his patrol car, which is absolutely not authorized, and the chief of police, I guess, warned him to stop, but that

Didn't change anything.

He didn't stop, kept giving joy rides to his buddies.

And it just gets worse because the ABI learned that Owens was also picking up women and having sex with them in his car.

So this made them wonder if he had tried to make a move on Sonia and things got out of hand and he killed her to keep her quiet.

So after they learned all of this, it was far beyond time to finally talk to Owen.

So he was forced to go to Anchorage and do the interview and polygraph test that he had been avoiding.

And the Alaska State Troopers were actually so worried that he might try to get out of it that they had an agent go to Nome just to make sure he got on that plane.

But of course, while sitting with the ABI, he tried to talk his way out of everything.

He claimed that while, yes, he did have some of his buddies ride around in his patrol car with him, he never had sex with any women on duty.

As far as Sonia, he said he did know her because sometimes while he was on duty, he would have to bring people to the hospital and she worked there.

But he completely denied having anything to do with her murder.

Now, interestingly, he did bring up the letter that was found at the scene of the shootout to remind the ABI that Sonia's killer was someone who hated cops.

Officer Owens really thought he was smart when doing that, right?

He thought that he was playing chess when in reality he was playing tic-tac-toe and he wasn't good at it either.

And as I'm sure you've probably guessed at this point, when he took the polygraph test, he failed it.
